InfraSource Services, Inc.

        We are one of the largest specialty contractors servicing the utility transmission and distribution infrastructure in the United States based on market share. Our broad range of services includes the design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing, maintenance and leasing of utility infrastructure. The following chart depicts our revenue mix by end market for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, on a pro forma consolidated basis:

Revenue Chart


        Our customers rely on us to design, construct and maintain reliable electric, natural gas and other utility infrastructure. We believe we are able to combine our broad geographic footprint, integrated service offerings, skilled workforce and experienced management team to deliver a compelling value proposition to our customers. Our customers primarily include electric power utilities, natural gas utilities, government entities and heavy industrial companies, such as petrochemical, processing and refining businesses. Our representative customers include:

1


        Our blanket master service agreements and new construction projects provide a balanced mix of recurring and project-based work. The broad range of customers, geographic regions and industries we serve provides us with diversified revenues, and a number of our specialized services generate strong margins. For the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, on a pro forma consolidated basis, we had revenues of approximately $403.0 million. On an actual basis, revenues for this period were $382.6 million.

Industry Trends

        We believe growth in our end markets will benefit from the following principal factors:

        Inadequacy of Current Electric Infrastructure. We believe the electric transmission infrastructure in the United States will require significant spending to cure historical underinvestment and to respond to increasing electricity demand. The increase in demand for electricity and growth in electric power generation capacity have outpaced the increase in transmission expenditures. This relative underinvestment in transmission has contributed to the current inadequacy of the electric power grid, which was one of the causal factors in the August 2003 blackouts in the Midwest and Northeast United States and Canada, the rolling blackouts in California in 2001, the power outages in Chicago, Long Island and New Jersey in the summer of 1999 and the increase in the number of emergency relief procedures needed to avoid overloading of transmission lines. In its 2002 National Transmission Grid Study, the U.S. Department of Energy emphasized the urgent need to modernize the nation's transmission system.

        Increased Outsourcing of Infrastructure Services. Utilities are constantly seeking ways to improve cost efficiencies, driven by pressure from investors, regulators and consumer advocates. We believe that utilities are frequently able to reduce operating costs and increase efficiencies by outsourcing a range of services to third parties. Specialty contractors can often provide services in a more efficient and cost-effective manner, in part by managing their flexible labor forces across various projects and multiple customers, while utilities generally must employ their labor force full-time. As a result, many utilities are continuing to reduce the size of their labor forces and increase their reliance on third-party service providers.

        Favorable Regulatory, Legislative and Political Environment. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, states in its Strategic Plan FY2004-2008 that its top priority is to "promote a secure, high-quality, environmentally responsible infrastructure." This goal includes objectives to expedite appropriate energy infrastructure development to ensure sufficient energy supplies and provide for timely cost recovery by infrastructure investors. We believe our end markets are well positioned to benefit from initiatives focused on these and related objectives. Examples of recent and proposed actions are:

2


Competitive Strengths

        Leadership in Attractive Markets. As a result of our market leadership and reputation for high-quality service, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from anticipated spending by customers in our end markets.

        Breadth of Capabilities. We believe that customers in our end markets are increasingly seeking to improve their efficiencies by contracting with fewer service providers that can rapidly and effectively design, construct and maintain their infrastructure, in some cases across multiple geographic regions. We are one of the few utility infrastructure service providers capable of meeting a broad range of service needs in multiple service territories. We believe these capabilities are particularly advantageous because many of our competitors are small, regional firms.

        Strong Reputation for Project Execution and Safety. Our reputation as a premier service contractor has been built on an excellent performance record of delivering projects on time, on budget and to customer specifications. Most of our operating companies have been building this reputation for decades. Our strong reputation is reflected in our long-standing relationships with most of our major customers. In addition, the safety record of most of our operating subsidiaries has historically been better than industry averages, which provides us with a competitive advantage in bidding for many projects.

        Highly Skilled and Flexible Workforce. We have an experienced and skilled workforce trained to handle technically complex projects, including high-voltage electric power work and specialized subsurface work. In addition, we are generally able to quickly vary the size of our workforce to efficiently staff our projects and to meet the needs of our customers. This provides us with a variable cost structure that permits us to effectively respond to changes in demand for our services. Moreover, our labor force consists of both union and non-union personnel, which enables us to satisfy the varied labor requirements of customers in our end markets.

        Financial Strength. Financial strength is often an important consideration for customers in selecting service providers. We believe our diverse revenue base, attractive operating margins and strong cash flow contribute to our financial strength, which provides us with an advantage over many of our competitors. In addition, our financial strength, combined with our reputation and experience, improves our access to surety bonding to support our projects. We believe the consummation of this equity offering will further enhance our financial strength and our access to surety bonding to support our growth in what has become, in recent years, a difficult bonding environment.

        Experienced Management Team. We have a strong management team with extensive industry experience. The key members of our senior management team have worked in the utility or contracting industries for most of their careers and average over 20 years of industry experience.

Business Strategy

        Capitalize on Favorable Industry Trends in Utility Infrastructure Markets. Large utility customers continue to present growth opportunities for us. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities resulting primarily from expected increases in spending on utility infrastructure and increased outsourcing by customers in our end markets.

        Increase Our Market Share. We intend to leverage our competitive strengths to increase our market share by:

        Focus on Specialized Services that Generate High Margins. We intend to continue to increase our focus on technically complex projects where the specialized capabilities of our highly skilled personnel differentiates us from many of our competitors. For example, we have targeted turnkey substation services as a core competency, where our expertise enables us to perform the work efficiently and generate high margins.

        Pursue Highly Strategic Acquisitions. We intend to evaluate and pursue acquisition opportunities on a limited basis to bolster our presence in select regional markets or to broaden our service offerings. For example, our acquisition of Maslonka & Associates, Inc., or Maslonka, will enhance our capabilities for large, high-voltage transmission projects and will allow us to cross-sell other services across a broader territory.

Recent Developments

        Maslonka Acquisition.    On January 27, 2004, we acquired Maslonka & Associates, Inc. The consideration for the Maslonka acquisition consisted of $29.9 million in cash and 199,004 shares of our common stock, which are both subject to a final working capital adjustment and a holdback provision as described under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments," and the assumption of certain liabilities. Maslonka specializes in the construction and installation of aerial transmission interconnection systems primarily in the Western and Southwestern United States. Maslonka concentrates on projects that involve challenging requirements, including accelerated construction schedules, complex excavation, helicopter-assisted installation, environmental impact mitigation and difficult terrain. In May 2003, Maslonka won its largest project to date, the transmission line portion of one of the largest electric power transmission projects awarded in 2003, the upgrade of Path 15. Path 15 is an 84-mile stretch of electric high-voltage transmission lines in the central valley of California connecting Southern California with Northern California. We believe the Maslonka acquisition will significantly enhance our opportunities to win high-voltage transmission infrastructure projects in multiple service territories. For more information regarding the Maslonka acquisition and the financing thereof, please refer to "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        PowerUp Wisconsin. On December 15, 2003, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin issued an authorization to proceed for the construction of a 210-mile high-voltage transmission line linking Duluth, Minnesota and Wauasau, Wisconsin. We were awarded a contract relating to the project over three years ago. Our portion of the work had a contract value of approximately $75-90 million, but the

4


authorization to proceed was not immediately issued. Within days after the August 2003 blackout, the Governor of Wisconsin made a commitment to reform Wisconsin's regulatory process to ensure a reliable, modern transmission system and in December 2003 signed a bill containing legislative changes required to streamline the regulatory review process for siting energy projects. In January 2004, we were authorized to proceed on a portion of this project, and we expect additional project authorizations in early 2004.

Corporate Information

        OCM/GFI Power Opportunities Funds, L.P. and OCM Principal Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (together, the "Principal Stockholders"), investment funds managed by GFI Energy Ventures LLC ("GFI") and Oaktree Capital Management, LLC ("Oaktree"), formed our company in May 2003 as a Delaware corporation to acquire InfraSource Incorporated and certain of its subsidiaries from Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC ("Exelon"). The transaction was completed on September 24, 2003. We refer to this acquisition as the "Exelon Transaction." In connection with the Exelon Transaction, we entered into a senior credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, consisting of a $40 million revolving credit facility and a $140 million term loan. In addition, we issued a $29 million subordinated promissory note payable to Exelon, which was increased to $30 million in December 2003 upon completion of our acquisition of an additional entity from Exelon. The proceeds from the term loan and the initial Exelon note, together with equity contributions from the Principal Stockholders and certain members of our management, were used to fund the Exelon Transaction.

        For additional information regarding the Exelon Transaction, please refer to "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" included elsewhere in this prospectus. After completion of this offering, the Principal Stockholders, together with our management, will beneficially own in the aggregate approximately            % of our fully diluted common stock.

        Our principal executive offices are located at 500 West Dutton Mill Road, Aston, Pennsylvania 19014. Our telephone number is (610) 619-3000.

SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA

        The summary consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) data for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of our subsidiary, InfraSource Incorporated, included elsewhere in this prospectus. We were organized on May 30, 2003 and commenced operations and acquired InfraSource Incorporated on September 24, 2003. The summary consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) data for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002 and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 and the summary consolidated balance sheet as of September 23, 2003, are derived from InfraSource Incorporated's unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, which, in the opinion of our management, include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the data for such periods. InfraSource Incorporated's results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of InfraSource Incorporated's results for a full year's operations.

        The summary pro forma consolidated as adjusted financial data for the year ended December 31, 2002, for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, and as of September 23, 2003 have been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial data included elsewhere in this prospectus. The pro forma as adjusted data for the year ended December 31, 2002 and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 give effect to the Exelon Transaction, the Maslonka acquisition and the completion of this offering, including the application of the net proceeds as described under "Use of Proceeds," as if such events occurred on January 1, 2002. The pro forma as adjusted consolidated balance sheet data as of September 23, 2003, give effect to the Exelon Transaction, the Maslonka acquisition and the completion of this offering, including the application of the net proceeds as described under "Use of Proceeds," as if such events occurred on that date. Our unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial data is based on currently available information and is not necessarily indicative of our financial position or results of operations that would have occurred had these transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results. The pro forma adjustments and the allocation of the purchase prices for the Exelon Transaction and the Maslonka acquisition are preliminary and are based on management's estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final allocations of acquisition consideration will be based on management's final valuation analyses supported by appraisals from certain independent valuation firms. Any adjustments based on these final valuations analyses may change the allocations of the acquisition consideration, which could affect the fair value assigned to our assets and liabilities and could result in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data.

        You should read the following financial information together with the information under "Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data," "Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes of InfraSource Services, Inc., InfraSource Incorporated and Maslonka & Associates, Inc. included elsewhere in this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

        Before deciding to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the other information set forth in this prospectus. The following risks and the risks described elsewhere in this prospectus, including in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," could materially harm our business, financial condition, future results and cash flow. If that occurs, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

Our results of operations depend on the award of new contracts and the timing of these awards.

        A substantial portion of our revenues is derived from project-based work. It is generally very difficult to predict whether and when we will be awarded contracts for these projects, as they frequently involve a lengthy and complex bidding and selection process that is affected by a number of factors, such as market conditions, financing arrangements, competition, governmental approvals and environmental matters. In addition, we expect to have a higher percentage of revenues from large-scale projects going forward. For example, Maslonka's transmission line portion of the Path 15 contract is an approximately $88 million contract that will be performed primarily in 2004. Maslonka's Path 15 contract is expected to conclude in 2005, and there can be no assurance that we will be awarded contracts for other projects to replace the revenues generated from the Path 15 contract. Further, our results of operations and cash flows can fluctuate from period-to-period depending on the timing of our contracts.

        A contract award for a project may not result in revenue from the project soon after the award or at all. Certain of these contracts are subject to financing contingencies and, consequently, we are subject to the risk that the customer will not be able to secure the necessary financing for the project. In certain circumstances, customers may require us to provide credit enhancements, including surety bonds, letters of credit and, in rare instances, cash collateral, which we may be unable to satisfactorily obtain or provide. The uncertainty of our contract award timing can also present difficulties in matching workforce size with contract needs. In some cases, we maintain and bear the cost of a ready workforce that is larger than called for under existing contracts in anticipation of future workforce needs for expected contract awards. If an expected contract award is delayed or not received, we could incur costs that could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our dependence upon fixed-price and unit-price contracts could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        We currently generate, and expect to continue to generate, the majority of our revenues under fixed-price and, to a lesser extent, unit-price contracts. In addition, we expect that our acquisition of Maslonka will result in an increase in the proportion of our fixed-price contracts, as the majority of Maslonka's business is on a fixed-price basis. Further, we anticipate a shift in our contract mix to more fixed-price based work as we expect current industry trends to result in more large transmission projects. Under fixed-price contracts, we agree to perform the entire project for a fixed price on an agreed upon schedule. We may be unable to recover any cost overruns to the approved contract price. A unit-price contract is essentially a fixed-price contract with the only variable being the number of units of work performed. We must estimate the costs of completing a particular project to bid for fixed-price and unit-price contracts. For example, the costs of labor and materials may vary from the costs we originally estimated, and weather problems, such as those experienced in 2003, can cause delays and add costs that we cannot recover. Further, if any equipment or materials we procure for a project are

11



defective, we may have to absorb the cost to either repair or replace them and our projects may be delayed as a result. These variations, some of which we cannot control, along with other risks inherent in performing fixed-price and unit-price contracts, may cause actual revenue and gross profits for a project to differ from those we originally estimated and could result in reduced profitability or losses on projects. Depending on the size of a particular project, variations from the estimated contract costs can have a significant impact on our operating results for any fiscal quarter or year.

Our customers often have no obligation to assign work to us and many of our contracts may be terminated on short notice.

        Certain of our customers assign work to us under master service agreements. Under these arrangements, our customers generally have no obligation to assign work to us. Most of our contracts, including our master service agreements, may be terminated by our customers on short notice, typically 30 to 90 days, sometimes less. In addition, many of our contracts, including our master service agreements, are open to competitive bidding at the expiration of their terms. Our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if our customers do not assign work to us or if they cancel a significant number of contracts and we cannot replace them with similar projects.

Project delays or cancellations may result in additional costs to us, reductions in revenues or the payment of liquidated damages, which may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        In certain circumstances, we guarantee project completion by a scheduled acceptance date or achievement of certain acceptance and performance testing levels. Failure to meet any of these schedules or performance requirements could result in additional costs or penalties, including liquidated damages, and these amounts could exceed expected project profit margins. Many of our projects involve challenging engineering, procurement and construction phases that may occur over extended time periods, sometimes up to two years. We may encounter difficulties in engineering, equipment and supply delivery, schedule changes, weather-related delays and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, that impact our ability to complete the project in accordance with the original delivery schedule. In addition, we occasionally contract with third-party subcontractors to assist us with the completion of contracts. Any delay by suppliers or by subcontractors in the completion of their portion of the project, or any failure by a subcontractor to satisfactorily complete its portion of the project may result in delays in the overall progress of the project or may cause us to incur additional costs, or both. We also may encounter project delays due to local public opposition against the siting of transmission lines or other facilities, which may include injunctive actions as well as public protests. For example, the construction of the PowerUp Wisconsin transmission line project was delayed for several years due to such factors.

        Delays and additional costs may be substantial, and, in some cases we may be required to compensate the project customer for these delays. We may not be able to recover all of these costs. In extreme cases, the above-mentioned factors could cause project cancellations, which could materially and adversely affect our business.

        In addition, our project contracts may require that our customers or other parties provide us with design or engineering information or with equipment or materials to be used on a project. In some cases, we may be provided with deficient design or engineering information or equipment or provided with information or equipment later than required by the project schedule. Our customers may also determine, after commencement of the project, to change various elements of the project. Under these circumstances, we generally negotiate with the customer with respect to the amount of additional time required and the compensation to be paid to us. We are subject to the risk that we are unable to obtain, through negotiation, arbitration, litigation or otherwise, adequate amounts to compensate us for the additional work or expenses incurred by us due to customer-requested change orders or failure by

12



the customer to timely provide items required to be provided by the customer. A failure to obtain adequate compensation for these matters could require us to record an adjustment to amounts of revenue and gross profit that were recognized in prior periods under the percentage of completion accounting method. Any such adjustments, if substantial, could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our operating results may vary significantly from period to period.

        Portions of our business are subject to seasonal variations. Due to the nature of the work in our business, less work is performed in the winter months and work is hindered during other inclement weather events. Our profitability may also decrease during the winter months or rainy seasons due to the fact that work performed during these periods is more costly to complete. In addition, during periods of peak electricity demand, utilities generally are unable to remove their electric power transmission and distribution equipment from service, decreasing the demand for our services during this period. Our quarterly results also may be materially affected by:

        Accordingly, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be a fair indicator and should not be relied upon as a measure of future performance. If our operating results fall below the public's or analysts' expectations in some future period or periods, the market price of our common stock will likely fall.

The dollar amount of our backlog, as stated at any given time, is not necessarily indicative of our future revenues.

        As of December 31, 2003, our pro forma consolidated backlog was approximately $820.0 million. We expect to fill $409.0 million of this backlog in 2004. We generally classify contracts as "backlog" if

13



we have been awarded the contract and we have authorization to proceed. Our backlog also includes our estimate of the portion of work to be performed during the relevant period under our master service agreements, which often have two- to three-year terms and revenues under lease commitments. Our backlog may not be realized as revenue or, if realized, may not result in profits. Further, project terminations, suspensions or adjustments in scope may occur with respect to contracts reflected in our backlog or related profits. As backlog is often difficult to determine with certainty, the backlog we obtain in connection with any companies we acquire may not be as large as we believed or may not result in the revenue we expected.

        Reductions in backlog due to cancellation by a customer or for other reasons may materially and adversely affect the revenue and profit we actually receive from contracts included in backlog. In the event of project cancellation, we may be reimbursed for certain costs but typically have no contractual right to the total revenues reflected in our backlog (with the exception of contractually committed revenues in connection with our agreement with Exelon). In addition, projects may remain in our backlog for extended periods of time. If we were to experience significant cancellations or delays of projects in our backlog, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Backlog is not a measure defined in generally accepted accounting principles and our methodology in determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodology used by other companies in determining their backlog.

Our use of percentage-of-completion accounting could result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits.

        As is more fully discussed in "Critical Accounting Policies" and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, all of which are included elsewhere in this prospectus, a significant portion of our revenues is recognized on a percentage-of-completion method of accounting, using the cost-to-cost method. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. This accounting method is standard for fixed-price contracts. The percentage-of-completion accounting practice we use results in our recognizing contract revenues and earnings ratably over the contract term in proportion to our incurrence of contract costs. The earnings or losses recognized on individual contracts are based on estimates of contract revenues, costs and profitability. Contract losses are recognized in full when determined, and contract profit estimates are adjusted based on ongoing reviews of contract profitability. Further, a substantial portion of our contracts contain various cost and performance incentives. Penalties are recorded when known or finalized, which is generally during the latter stages of the contract. In addition, we record cost recovery claims when we believe recovery is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Actual collection of claims could differ from estimated amounts and could result in a reduction or elimination of previously recognized earnings. In certain circumstances, it is possible that such adjustments could be material to our results of operations.

Demand for our services is cyclical and vulnerable to downturns in the industries we serve, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        The demand for infrastructure services in the industries we serve has been, and will likely continue to be, cyclical in nature and vulnerable to general downturns in the U.S. economy. A number of other factors, including financial conditions in the industries we serve, could adversely affect our customers and their ability or willingness to fund capital expenditures in the future. For example, telecommunications customers' spending on network construction has been in decline since 2000, and reductions in our revenues in 2003 partially reflect the significant decline in construction activity and new construction awards for power generation projects by independent power producers. Many of these customers encountered financing and liquidity problems, including a number of bankruptcies. Further, the demand for our services to natural gas distribution customers is affected by the level of new

14



housing construction. In addition, our petrochemical customers' demand has recently been restrained by the impact of high natural gas prices. We are also dependent on the amount of infrastructure services that our customers outsource. During downturns in the economy, our customers may determine to outsource fewer projects resulting in decreased demand for our services. In addition, the historical trend toward outsourcing of infrastructure services may not continue as we expect. These fluctuations in demand for our services could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations, particularly during economic downturns.

The anticipated investment in electric infrastructure may not be as large as expected, which could adversely affect demand for our services and our operating strategy.

        There can be no assurance that increased investment in the electric power grid will materialize. For example, even if Federal energy legislation is passed in the form previously considered by Congress, the provisions may not incentivize increased investments in electric power transmission infrastructure as expected. Further, the industries we serve may undergo change as a result of technological advances or other structural changes that could, in certain cases, reduce the demand for our services or otherwise adversely affect our business. For example, a significant movement toward distributed generation, that is, locating smaller power generation facilities close to areas of electricity consumption, may reduce the demand for transmission services and related spending. If the anticipated investment falls short of expectations, there could be less demand or slower growth in demand for our services and our business and results of operations or growth could be materially and adversely affected.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a small group of customers. The loss of one or more of these customers could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        Our top ten customers accounted for approximately 46% of our revenues during 2002 and approximately 45% of our revenues during the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, which includes work done for those customers as a subcontractor through others. Sales to Exelon Corporation accounted for more than 14.0% of our revenues during the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003. In September 2003, we entered into a volume agreement with Exelon, pursuant to which we are assured a continuing level of business from Exelon through 2006 at approximately the same levels as in 2003, subject to earlier termination under limited circumstances. Revenue under the contract may vary significantly from period-to-period and may be concentrated later in the contract period. We may be unable to renew or replace this agreement on similar terms or at all or sustain our volume of business with Exelon after expiration of the contract.

        In addition, consolidation in the end markets we serve may result in the loss of one or more of our customers. The loss of any of our major customers could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. We may be unable to maintain our customer relationships, and our customers may reduce the volume of, or cancel purchase orders or other contracts, or develop relationships with our competitors, any of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. In May 2003, Maslonka was awarded an approximately $88 million transmission line contract, relating to the Path 15 upgrade project, scheduled to be substantially completed in 2004. We expect that the Western Area Power Authority, which manages the Path 15 project, will be a key customer in 2004. We may not be able to replace this contract after its completion.

Adverse events could negatively affect our liquidity position.

        Our operations could require us to utilize large sums of working capital, sometimes on short notice and sometimes without the ability to recover these expenditures. Circumstances or events which could create large cash outflows include losses resulting from fixed-price or unit-price contracts, environmental liabilities, litigation risks, cash collateral requirements, unexpected costs or losses resulting from acquisitions, contract initiation or completion delays, political conditions, customer

15



payment problems and professional and product liability claims, among others. We may not have sufficient liquidity or the credit capacity to meet all of our cash needs if we encounter significant working capital requirements as a result of these or other factors. Insufficient liquidity could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared with competitors with more liquidity and could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to obtain surety bonds.

A significant portion of our business depends on our ability to provide surety bonds. A reduction in our ability to obtain surety bonds could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        Surety market conditions are currently difficult as a result of significant losses incurred by many sureties in recent periods, both in the construction industry as well as in certain larger corporate bankruptcies. As a result, less bonding capacity is available in the market and terms have become more expensive and restrictive. After the Exelon Transaction, we were required to post letters of credit to support a new surety bond program. Further, under standard terms in the surety market, sureties issue bonds on a project-by-project basis and can decline to issue bonds at any time. Historically, approximately 10% to 20% of our annual volume of business, including a number of our fixed-price contracts, has required bonds. These percentages may increase depending on our mix of contracts. Current or future market conditions, as well as changes in our surety's assessment of our operating and financial risk, could cause our surety providers to decline to issue, or substantially reduce the amount of, bonds for our work and could increase our bonding costs. These actions can be taken on short notice. If our surety providers were to limit or eliminate our access to bonding, our alternatives include seeking bonding capacity from other sureties, finding more business that does not require bonds and posting other forms of collateral for project performance, such as letters of credit or cash. We may be unable to secure these alternatives in a timely manner, on acceptable terms or at all. Accordingly, if we were to experience an interruption or reduction in the availability of bonding capacity, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We are subject to the risks associated with being a government contractor.

        We are a provider of services to government agencies, primarily the U.S. Department of Energy's Federal power marketing agencies, such as the Western Area Power Authority and the Bonneville Power Administration, and therefore are exposed to the risks associated with government contracting. For example, a reduction in spending by these government agencies could limit the continued funding of existing contracts with these agencies and could limit our ability to obtain additional contracts, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. The risks of government contracting also include the risk of civil and criminal fines and penalties for violations of applicable regulations and statutes and the risk of public scrutiny of our performance on high profile sites.

        In addition, government customers typically can terminate or modify any of their contracts with us at their convenience, and some of these government contracts are subject to renewal or extension annually. If a government customer terminates a contract or fails to renew or extend a contract, our backlog or revenue may be reduced or we may incur a loss, either of which could impair our financial condition and operating results. A termination due to our unsatisfactory performance could expose us to liability and have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and orders. In cases where we might be a subcontractor, the prime contract under which we would be a subcontractor could be terminated, regardless of the quality of our services as a subcontractor or our relationship with the relevant government agency. Our government customers can also reduce the value of existing contracts, issue modifications to a contract, and control and potentially prohibit the export of our services and associated materials.

        In addition, our failure to comply with the terms of one or more of our government contracts, other government agreements, or government regulations and statutes could result in our being suspended or barred from future government contract projects for a significant period of time. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect our business.

16


Our business growth could outpace the capability of our business structure. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

        Our systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our operations as they expand. Further, we may not be able to recruit and retain additional managers and executives or procure equipment that may be necessary to support our growth. As a result, we may be unable to enter into new geographic regions. To the extent that we are unable to manage our growth effectively, attract and retain additional qualified management and skilled personnel, procure the proper equipment or obtain adequate surety bonding capacity, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We may be unsuccessful at integrating companies that we acquire or have acquired, which could materially and adversely affect our business.

        We have completed several acquisitions and plan to consider strategic acquisitions in the future. We may not be able to successfully integrate our acquired companies, including Maslonka, with our other operations without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial problems. If we do not implement proper overall business controls, our operating strategy could result in inconsistent operating and financial practices at the companies we acquire or have acquired, and our overall profitability could be adversely affected. Our operating subsidiaries have generally maintained their own procedures and operating systems, although we have imposed or are imposing specific company-wide requirements on our operating subsidiaries in a number of areas as we continue the process of integrating our acquired businesses. We also plan to introduce a company-wide internal audit function to replace the Exelon corporate internal audit function and to enhance our controls and procedures, including those necessary for a public company. However, as we intend to continue to employ a somewhat decentralized management structure, we could experience difficulties maintaining uniform controls and procedures. Integrating our acquired companies involves a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, including:

        If one of our acquired companies suffers customer dissatisfaction or performance problems, the reputation of that operating company or our entire company could be materially and adversely affected.

Our ability to successfully implement our business strategy is dependent on our ability to retain and attract key management personnel.

        Our ability to successfully implement our business strategy depends to a significant degree on the efforts of our senior management team, including the heads of our key operating subsidiaries. Any of our executive officers could determine not to continue in such capacity and we generally do not maintain key person life insurance for our executive officers. We may not be able to replace any of these executives with similarly qualified candidates. We believe that the loss of service of any of these executives could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

17



Our industry is highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete effectively, which could result in reduced profitability and loss of market share.

        Our industry is highly fragmented with numerous small, owner-operated private companies, a few public companies and several large regional companies. In most cases we are bidding against numerous competitors for contract and project awards. We also compete with many of our utility customers that may choose to self-perform their infrastructure work. We compete on the basis of a number of factors, including:


        To compete successfully, we may be required to reduce prices, increase our operating costs or take other measures that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, margins or cash flow. For example, after the downturn in the telecommunications industry, many service providers began offering services in the natural gas infrastructure industry. As a result, we experienced increased competition and related pricing pressures in that area of our business. If we are unable to compete successfully, we may lose market share.

        In addition, certain of our competitors may have lower cost structures than we do and may therefore be able to provide their services at lower rates than we offer. In addition, some of our competitors are larger and have greater resources than we do. Our competitors may develop the expertise, experience and resources to provide services that are superior in both price and quality to our services. Additionally, many of our customers self-perform the services we provide, which means we may face competition from our customers as well as third parties. Our existing or prospective customers may not continue to outsource services in the future.

Our business is labor intensive, and we may be unable to attract and retain qualified employees, which could materially and adversely affect our growth strategy and our operations.

        Our ability to provide high-quality services on a timely basis, to increase our productivity and profitability and to achieve our desired growth will be limited by our ability to employ, train and retain skilled personnel necessary to meet our operating requirements. We, like many of our competitors, have, from time-to-time, experienced shortages of certain types of qualified personnel. These shortages could preclude us from expanding into new geographic markets. For example, there is currently a shortage of linemen capable of working on and supervising the construction of high-voltage lines, and linemen are frequently recruited across geographic regions to satisfy demand. The supply of experienced linemen and supervisors may not be sufficient to meet current or expected demand. Further, we may not be able to allocate or hire sufficient project managers for new electric power

18



transmission projects. As a result, we may not be able to pursue certain projects and we may not be able to maintain an adequate skilled labor force necessary to operate efficiently or to support our growth strategy. In addition, our labor expenses may increase as a result of a shortage in the supply of skilled personnel. Labor shortages and increased labor costs could materially and adversely affect our operations and our ability to implement our growth strategy.

Our projects are subject to numerous hazards that could increase our costs. If an accident occurs, it could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        Hazards related to our activities include electrocutions, fires, natural gas explosions, mechanical failure, transportation accidents and damage to equipment we work on. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment and other consequential damages, including blackouts, and may result in suspension of operations, large damage claims, and, in extreme cases, criminal liability. At any given time, we are subject to multiple workers' compensation and personal injury claims. We maintain substantial loss accruals for workers' compensation claims, and our workers' compensation and insurance costs have been rising for several years notwithstanding our emphasis on safety. Our insurance does not cover all types or amounts of liabilities. Our third-party insurance is subject to large deductibles for which we establish reserves and, accordingly, we effectively self-insure for much of our exposures. In addition, for a variety of reasons such as increases in claims, a weak economy, projected significant increases in medical costs and wages, lost compensation, and reductions in coverage, insurance carriers may be unwilling to provide the current levels of coverage without a significant increase in collateral requirements to cover our deductible obligations. We recently increased the amount of our outstanding letters of credit to support our insurance programs. We may not be able to maintain adequate insurance at reasonable rates or meet collateral requirements. Further, regulatory changes implemented by OSHA could impose additional costs on us.

        If serious accidents or fatalities occur, we may be ineligible to bid on certain projects and could be terminated from existing projects. In addition, if our safety record were to deteriorate, our ability to bid on certain projects could be adversely impacted. The OSHA Recordable rate of certain of our subsidiaries has historically been higher than the industry average. If we cannot improve on these subsidiaries' safety records, our ability to successfully bid on future projects could be adversely affected. Adverse experience with hazards and claims could have a negative effect on our reputation and our prospects for future projects.

During the ordinary course of our business, we may become subject to lawsuits or indemnity claims, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        We have in the past been, and may in the future be, named as a defendant in lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings during the ordinary course of our business. These actions may seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, workers' compensation, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, consequential damages or injunctive or declaratory relief. In addition, pursuant to our service contracts, we generally indemnify our customers for the services we provide thereunder. Furthermore, our services are integral to the operation and performance of the electric power transmission and distribution infrastructure. As a result, we may become subject to lawsuits or claims for any failure of the systems that we work on, even if our services are not the cause for such failures. In addition, we may incur civil and criminal liabilities to the extent that our services contributed to any property damage or blackout. With respect to such lawsuits, claims, proceedings and indemnities, we have and will accrue reserves when the incurrence of a liability is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In the event that such actions or indemnities are ultimately resolved unfavorably at amounts exceeding our accrued reserves, or at material amounts, the outcome could materially and adversely affect our business and

19



results of operations. In addition, payments of significant amounts, even if reserved, could adversely affect our liquidity position.

Our unionized workforce could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        A significant percentage of our workforce is covered by collective bargaining agreements. Strikes or work stoppages could occur that would adversely impact our relationships with our customers and could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        In addition, we contribute to several multiemployer pension plans for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. These plans are not administered by us, and contributions are determined in accordance with provisions of negotiated labor contracts. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980, imposes certain liabilities upon employers who are contributors to a multiemployer plan in the event of the employer's withdrawal from, or upon termination of, such plan. We do not have information on the net assets and actuarial present value of the multiemployer pension plans' unfunded vested benefits allocable to us, if any, or the amounts, if any, for which we may be contingently liable if we were to withdraw from any of these plans.

The outcome of certain proposed regulatory changes are uncertain and such regulatory changes could adversely affect our results of operations.

        Our customers participate in highly regulated industries. At this time, there is uncertainty as to whether the United States Congress will pass comprehensive Federal energy legislation or whether FERC will establish incentive-based ratemaking for all interstate transmission under the control of regional transmission operators. Continued uncertainty may have an adverse effect on our customers and may negatively influence their ability and desire to make capital investments in transmission infrastructure. In addition, many of our telecommunications customers are schools that benefit from the Universal Service "E-rate" program, a program set up by the federal government under the oversight of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). Under the E-rate program, schools and libraries may receive subsidies for certain approved telecommunications services, Internet access and internal connections. However, the FCC recently sought comment from the industry and the public on whether it should provide funding for dark fiber. The organization that administers the E-rate subsidies issued a statement that, pending an FCC determination regarding the regulatory classification of dark fiber, it may not be eligible for E-rate funding beginning July 1, 2004. If this funding for leasing dark fiber is no longer available, it could result in a decrease in the demand for our telecommunications infrastructure services by certain school district customers and could adversely affect our results of operations.

Certain provisions of our corporate governing documents could make an acquisition of our company more difficult.

        Certain provisions of our organizational documents and Delaware law could discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control of us or limit the price that investors may be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will, upon consummation of this offering, permit us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to                        shares of preferred stock in one or more series and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares, constituting the series and the designation of the series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares of such series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the shares of the series. In addition, our certificate of incorporation permits our board of directors to adopt amendments to our bylaws.

20



        Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also imposes certain restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our common stock.

Environmental compliance could require significant expenditures, which could materially and adversely affect our business or results of operations.

        We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that govern our operation, including the handling, transportation, discharge and disposal of materials into the environment, including into the air, surface and ground water and soil. In that regard, we have incurred and are incurring costs and obligations for correcting environmental noncompliance matters and for remediation at or relating to certain of our properties pursuant to applicable environmental laws. Environmental laws applicable to us could become even more stringent in the future, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with their violation. Should there be an environmental accident or violation, our financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected. We could be held liable for significant penalties and damages under environmental laws and could also be subject to a revocation of licenses or permits, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, we cannot be certain that we will be able to identify or be indemnified for all potential environmental liabilities relating to any acquired business.

Provisions of our credit facility restrict our business operations and may restrict our access to sufficient funding in the future to finance desired growth, which could materially and adversely affect our business.

        We have a credit facility with a group of financial institutions secured by substantially all of our assets. The terms of the credit facility contain customary events of default and covenants that limit us from taking certain actions without obtaining the consent of the lenders. The restricted actions include, among other things:


        In addition, our credit facility requires us to achieve certain financial ratios. These restrictions and covenants limit our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions or to secure additional financing, if needed, and we may be prevented from engaging in transactions that might otherwise be considered beneficial to us, including strategic acquisitions.

        A breach of any of these covenants or our inability to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under our credit facility. In the event of any default under our credit facility, the lenders thereunder would be entitled to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest, or could proceed to foreclose against our assets. Moreover, these lenders would have the option to terminate any obligation to make further extensions of credit under our credit facility.

21



We will incur costs as a public company and recently enacted and proposed changes in securities laws and regulations are likely to increase those costs.

        Upon the consummation of this offering, we will become a public company and will be subject to disclosure requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Further, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") that became law in July 2002, as well as new rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, have required and will require changes in some of our corporate governance practices. The Act also requires the SEC to promulgate additional new rules on a variety of subjects. In addition to final rules and rule proposals already made by the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange has made revisions to its requirements for companies that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. We expect these new rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly. We also expect these new rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These new rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee, and qualified executive officers.

War and acts and threats of terrorism may adversely affect our results of operations, our ability to raise capital and our future growth.

        We do not fully know the impact that any future terrorist attacks may have on our industry in general and on us in particular. Terrorists could choose to target utility transmission and distribution infrastructure. In addition, any retaliatory military strikes or sustained military campaign may affect our operations in unpredictable ways, such as changes in insurance markets and disruptions of fuel supplies and markets, particularly oil. The continuing military activity in Iraq and other wars may have an adverse effect on the economy in general. A lower level of economic activity might result in a decline in domestic energy consumption and, as a result, the demand for our services, which may adversely affect our revenues or restrict our future growth. Instability in the financial markets as a result of terrorism or war may affect our stock price and our ability to raise capital.

Risks Relating to this Offering

Our controlling stockholders may take actions that conflict with your interests.

        Immediately following this offering,    % of our common stock will be held by Principal Stockholders, which are funds managed by Oaktree and GFI (            % if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full). Oaktree manages one of the funds and jointly manages with GFI the other fund. Because of these holdings, these stockholders, if they choose to act together, will be able to exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions, and they will have significant control over our management and policies. The directors elected by these stockholders will be able to significantly influence decisions affecting our capital structure. This control may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interest.

There has been no prior market for our common stock, and an active trading market may not develop.

        Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. An active trading market may not develop following the closing of this offering or, if developed, may not be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair

22



market value and increase the volatility of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our shares as consideration.

The price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially.

        The initial public offering price for the shares of our common stock sold in this offering will be determined by negotiation between the representatives of the underwriters and us. This price may not reflect the market price of our common stock following this offering. In addition, the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially due to many factors, including:

        In addition, the stock market in general, and the New York Stock Exchange and the market for infrastructure service companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies affected. These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against that company. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources, which could materially harm our financial condition and results of operations.

We currently do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our common stock appreciates.

        We currently do not plan to declare dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Further, the payment of dividends by us is restricted by our credit facility. See "Dividend Policy" for more information. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in our company will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and you sell

23



your shares at a profit. There is no guarantee that the price of our common stock that will prevail in the market after this offering will ever exceed the price that you pay.

Our management team may invest or spend the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree or in ways that may not yield a return.

        Presently, anticipated uses of the proceeds to us of this offering include repaying approximately $91 million of our outstanding debt and for other general corporate purposes. Other than with respect to repaying our outstanding debt in the manner described in the "Use of Proceeds," we cannot specify with certainty how we will use the net proceeds of this offering. Accordingly, our management will have considerable discretion in the application of these proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity to assess whether these proceeds are being used appropriately. These proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not increase our operating results or market value. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.

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

        After this offering, we will have                        shares of common stock outstanding. The                        shares sold in this offering, or                        shares if the underwriters' over-allotment is exercised in full, will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under federal securities laws unless purchased by our affiliates. The remaining                        shares of common stock outstanding after this offering will be available for sale in the public market as follows:

Number of Shares

  Date of Availability for Sale
    On the date of this prospectus

 

 

180 days after the date of this prospectus, although all but                        shares will be subject to certain volume limitations under Rule 144 of the Securities Act

        The above table assumes the effectiveness of the lock-up agreements under which our executive officers, directors and holders of our common stock have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of their shares of common stock and that we or the representatives of the underwriters have not waived the market stand-off provisions applicable to holders of options to purchase our common stock. Holders of options to purchase                        shares of our common stock have entered into option agreements with us pursuant to which they have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of shares of common stock underlying these options for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of Lehman Brothers Inc. Lehman Brothers Inc. may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to the lock-up agreements or the market stand-off provisions set forth in our stock option agreements.

        Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. After the lock-up agreements pertaining to this offering expire, additional stockholders, including our majority stockholders, will be able to sell their shares in the public market, subject to legal restrictions on transfer. As soon as practicable after the closing of this offering, we also intend to file a registration statement covering shares of our common stock issued or reserved for issuance under our stock option plan. In addition, under our registration rights agreement, some of our stockholders are entitled to registration rights. Subject to the terms of the lock-up agreements, registration of the sale of these shares of our common stock would generally permit their sale into the market immediately after registration. These registration rights of our stockholders could impair our ability to raise capital by depressing the price at which we could sell our common stock. We may also sell

24



additional shares of common stock in subsequent public offerings, which may adversely affect market prices for our common stock. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" for more information.

As a new investor, you will experience substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your shares.

        The initial public offering price of our common stock is considerably more than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering will:

        To the extent outstanding stock options are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors. See "Dilution" for more information.

25



SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        Some of the statements made in this prospectus are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and projections about future events. When used in this prospectus, the words "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect, "will," "should," "may" and similar expressions, or the negative of such words and expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words or expressions. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are primarily located in the material set forth under the headings "Prospectus Summary," "Risk Factors," "Capitalization," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Overview of Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Infrastructure" and "Business," but are found in other locations as well. These forward-looking statements generally relate to our plans, objectives and expectations for future operations and are based upon management's current estimates and projections of future results or trends. Although we believe that our plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we may not achieve these plans or objectives. You should read this prospectus completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future.

        Specific factors that might cause actual results to differ from our expectations or may affect the value of our common stock include, but are not limited to:

26



USE OF PROCEEDS

        We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $115.2 million based on an assumed initial public offering price of $             per share, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.

        We intend to use the net proceeds to us from this offering to repay approximately $91.2 million of outstanding indebtedness and to retain approximately $24.0 million for general corporate purposes. We are required to repay outstanding indebtedness under our senior credit facility in an amount equal to at least 50% of the net proceeds from this offering received by us. In addition, we are required to repay the subordinated promissory note payable to Exelon upon the sale of our common stock by the Principal Stockholders in this offering. The repayment of indebtedness consists of the following:


DIVIDEND POLICY

        We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, we anticipate that all of our earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future will be used to repay debt, for working capital, to support our operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Any future determination relating to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including restrictions in our debt instruments, our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which provides that dividends are only payable out of surplus or current net profits. We are currently restricted from declaring or paying cash dividends pursuant to the terms of our senior credit facility.

DILUTION

        At September 23, 2003, the net tangible book value of our common stock was approximately $    million, or approximately $            per share of our common stock. After giving effect to the Exelon Transaction, the Maslonka acquisition and the sale of                        shares of our common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $            per share, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions paid by us and the estimated offering expenses of this offering (collectively, the "Transactions"), the pro forma consolidated as adjusted net tangible book value at September 23, 2003 attributable to common stockholders would have been approximately $            million, or approximately $            per share of our common stock. This represents a net increase in pro forma consolidated as adjusted tangible book value of $            per share, and an immediate dilution in pro forma consolidated as adjusted net tangible book value of $            per share to new stockholders. The following table illustrates this per share dilution to new stockholders:

INFRASOURCE SERVICES, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

        The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data of InfraSource Services, Inc. (formerly known as Dearborn Holdings Corporation) as of September 23, 2003, for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 and for the year ended December 31, 2002 have been derived by applying pro forma adjustments attributable to the Exelon Transaction, the Maslonka acquisition and this offering (the "Transactions"), including the application of net proceeds from this offering as set forth under "Use of Proceeds," to the historical financial statements of InfraSource Services, Inc., InfraSource Incorporated and Maslonka & Associates, Inc., included elsewhere in this prospectus. We have based our unaudited pro forma adjustments upon available information and assumptions that we consider reasonable. Our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data is not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Transactions occurred as of the date or for the periods indicated, nor does it purport to represent our future financial position or results of operations.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of September 23, 2003 gives effect to the Transactions as if they were consummated on September 23, 2003. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations data for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002 give effect to the Transactions as if they were consummated on January 1, 2002.

        In our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data, we have accounted for each of the Exelon Transaction and the Maslonka acquisition as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." Under purchase accounting, the total acquisition consideration is allocated to our assets and liabilities based upon preliminary estimates of fair value. The final allocations of acquisition consideration will be based on management's final valuation analyses supported by appraisals from certain independent valuation firms. Any adjustments based on these final valuation analyses may change the allocations of the acquisition consideration, which could affect the fair value assigned to our assets and liabilities and could result in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data is presented for information purposes only and should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the historical financial statements and related notes of InfraSource Services, Inc., InfraSource Incorporated and Maslonka & Associates, Inc., included elsewhere in this prospectus.

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net of tax, discontinued operations, net of tax, interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA primarily as a supplemental performance measure because we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the

        Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        You should read the following discussion and analysis of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes of our subsidiary, Infrasource Incorporated, included elsewhere in this prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to our plans and strategies for our business, includes forward-looking statements. You should review the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements. Please refer to "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" included elsewhere in this prospectus for more information. Unless specifically stated otherwise, references to balances and results of operations in this prospectus are to the continuing operations of InfraSource Incorporated and do not include our discontinued operations discussed below. In addition, information presented with respect to our financial condition and results of operations for periods on and prior to September 23, 2003, are those of Infrasource Incorporated immediately prior to, and do not reflect, the Exelon Transaction. For a discussion of the effect of the Exelon Transaction, please see "Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Data."

Overview

        We are one of the largest specialty contractors servicing the utility transmission and distribution infrastructure in the United States based on market share. Our broad range of services includes the design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing, maintenance and leasing of utility infrastructure. Our customers primarily include electric power utilities, natural gas utilities, government entities and heavy industrial companies, such as petrochemical, processing and refining businesses.

        Our historical performance is affected by the capital spending of our customers. In the last several years, our business has been impacted by several important trends affecting our end markets.

46


In addition to industry trends described above, during 2002 we completed a review of our existing natural gas distribution contracts. As a result of this review, we exited or renegotiated a number of underperforming contracts. This strategy reduced our revenues during 2002 and 2003. Additionally, the effects of extreme adverse weather and losses on certain contracts completed in 2003 contributed to lower gross margins in the first half of the year. As has been common in our industry, we also experienced increases in workers' compensation and insurance expenses in recent years.

Outlook

        The statements in this section are based on our current expectations. These statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially. Please refer to "Risk Factors" and "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" included elsewhere in this prospectus for more information on what may cause our actual results to differ.

        Like many companies that provide specialty contracting services, we are subject to market cycles in our end markets that can affect our results of operations. Our customer diversity provides some insulation from these effects. We focus on the elements of the business we can control, including improved bidding, cost control, the margins we accept on projects, collecting receivables, and providing quality service to the markets we serve. Although other factors may impact us, including some we do not foresee, we believe our 2004 performance will be affected by the following:

        For a discussion of other expected changes resulting from the Exelon Transaction, the Maslonka acquisition and this offering, please refer to "Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Data."

Formation and Recent Developments

        OCM/GFI Power Opportunities Fund, L.P. and OCM Principal Opportunities Fund II, L.P., funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, LLC ("Oaktree") and GFI Energy Ventures LLC ("GFI"), formed our company in May 2003 to acquire InfraSource Incorporated and certain of its subsidiaries from Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC ("Exelon"). InfraSource Incorporated was originally organized in 1999 as a subsidiary of PECO Energy Company. Between 1999 and January 2001, InfraSource Incorporated selectively acquired its operating subsidiaries. In this prospectus, we refer to the funds managed by Oaktree and GFI as our "Principal Stockholders" and the acquisition of Infrasource Incorporated by the investment funds on September 24, 2003 as the "Exelon Transaction."

        Certain subsidiaries of InfraSource Incorporated that did not fit our strategic direction were transferred to Exelon immediately prior to the Exelon Transaction and, therefore, were not acquired. These non-acquired subsidiaries, which were principally commercial electrical contractors, are shown as "Discontinued Operations" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        In connection with the Exelon Transaction, on September 24, 2003 we entered into a senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, consisting of a $40 million revolving credit facility and a $140 million term loan. In addition, we entered into a volume agreement with Exelon, pursuant to which we are assured a continuing level of business from Exelon through 2006. Revenue under the

48



contract may vary significantly from period-to-period and may be concentrated later in the contract period. For additional information relating to the Exelon Transaction and the financing therefor, please refer to "—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Agreements" below.

        On January 27, 2004, we acquired Maslonka & Associates, Inc. The consideration for the Maslonka acquisition consisted of $29.9 million in cash and 199,004 shares of our common stock, which are both subject to a final working capital adjustment and a holdback provision, and the assumption of certain liabilities. Under the terms of the holdback, we withheld $6.6 million in cash payable at closing and 44,000 shares of our common stock issued to the sellers from the consideration payable at closing. We will be able to retain amounts from the holdback to satisfy any indemnification obligations to us. In addition, if Maslonka fails to achieve specified financial targets, we will be entitled to retain a portion of the holdback amount. We expect that the holdback amount, less any amounts retained by us, will be released to the sellers in part in 2005 and the remainder in 2006. After giving effect to the holdback, the amount of cash paid at closing was $23.3 million in cash and 155,004 shares of our common stock were delivered to the sellers. Because our unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial data included elsewhere in this prospectus is presented as if the acquisition occurred on September 23, 2003, certain amounts contained therein differ from those set forth in this paragraph, which are presented as of the closing date of the Maslonka acquisition.

        We financed the cash portion of the Maslonka acquisition consideration with available cash and the issuance of an aggregate of 272,577 shares of our common stock to the Principal Stockholders and certain members of our management at the per share price paid by the Principal Stockholders in the Exelon Transaction. See further discussion of the Maslonka acquisition in "Prospectus Summary," "Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Data" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

        In connection with the Maslonka acquisition, Maslonka will record a deferred compensation expense of $15.8 million in the aggregate. Of this amount, approximately $0.4 million is expected to be recorded by Maslonka in the fourth quarter of 2003 and approximately $15.4 million is expected to be recorded by Maslonka in the first quarter of 2004 prior to the acquisition. Please refer to Note 16 of Maslonka's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        We plan to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repay approximately $61.2 million of term loans outstanding under our senior credit facility and the full $30 million in principal amount of our promissory note payable to Exelon, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The remaining portion of the net proceeds, approximately $24 million, will be available for general corporate purposes. See "Use of Proceeds."

Basis of Reporting

        Revenues.    We derive our revenues from one reportable segment by providing specialized contracting services. We had consolidated revenues for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 of $382.6 million, of which 56% was attributable to electric power customers, including utilities and industrial customers, 28% to natural gas customers, 13% to telecommunications customers, and 3% for ancillary services, such as water and sewer pipeline work primarily for municipal customers. We enter into contracts principally on the basis of competitive bids, the final terms and prices of which we frequently negotiate with the customer, and which are often subject to changes in work scope during execution of the contract. Although the terms of our contracts vary considerably, most are made on either a unit-price or fixed-price basis in which we agree to perform the work for a price per unit of work performed (unit-price) or for a fixed amount for the entire project (fixed-price). We also perform services on a cost-plus or time-and-materials basis.

        We complete most installation projects within one year, while we frequently provide maintenance and repair work under open-ended, unit-price or cost-plus master service agreements that are generally

49


renewable in one- to three-year increments. Most of our revenues are derived from contractual services provided to customers, and are reported as earned by the completion of specific components of the contracts. Please see "—Critical Accounting Policies—Revenue Recognition" below for a discussion of our revenue recognition policy. Our fixed-price contracts often include payment provisions pursuant to which the customer withholds a 5% to 10% retainage from each progress payment, which we record as a receivable, and remits the retainage to us upon completion and approval of our services.

        Cost of Services.    Cost of services consists primarily of salaries, wages and benefits to employees, depreciation, fuel and other vehicle expenses, equipment rentals, subcontracted services, insurance, facilities expenses, materials and parts and supplies. Our gross margins, which are gross profits expressed as a percentage of revenues, are typically higher on projects where labor, rather than materials, constitutes a greater portion of the cost of services. We can generally estimate materials costs more accurately than labor costs, which can vary based upon site conditions, weather, project duration and the degree to which third-party subcontractors are involved on a project. Therefore, to compensate for the potential variability of labor costs, we seek higher margins on labor-intensive projects.

        Due to the nature of our work, insurance represents a significant portion of the cost of our services. We have a deductible of $500,000 per occurrence related to workers' compensation, employer's liability, automobile and general liability claims, which we believe is an appropriate balance of insurance cost and risk retention. Our non-union employee-related health care benefit plan is subject to a deductible of $100,000 per claimant per year. Losses up to the deductible amounts are accrued based upon our estimates of the ultimate liability for claims incurred and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. Fluctuations in insurance accruals related to these deductibles could have an impact on operating margins in the period in which such adjustments are made. During 2003, we increased our insurance reserves for periods prior to 2003 by $8.6 million due to a change in estimate resulting from an updated actuarial analysis. Our accruals at September 23, 2003 are based upon known facts and historical trends and management believes such accruals to be adequate. As of January 1, 2004, we have replaced our large deductible non-union health care benefit program with a fully indemnified program at a comparable cost. We regularly evaluate our level of self-insured retentions versus the cost of fully insured policies.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits to management, administrative salaries and benefits, marketing, office rent and utilities, communications and professional fees at both the corporate level and the operating units.

Critical Accounting Policies

        The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We believe the following to be the most important accounting policies including those that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

        Revenue Recognition.    We typically record revenues from fixed-price contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis, using the cost-to-cost method based on the percentage of total costs incurred to date in proportion to total estimated costs to complete the contract. Changes in job

50



performance, job conditions and final contract settlements, among others, are factors that influence management's assessment of the total estimated costs to complete these contracts, and therefore management's gross profit recognition. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. We regularly review our operating subsidiaries' cost estimates and related revenue recognition. Revenues from master service agreements and maintenance contracts are generally based on unit prices and are recognized as the units are completed. Revenues earned on short-term projects and under contracts providing for substantial performance of services are generally recorded under the completed contract method. Revenues earned pursuant to fiber-optic facility licensing agreements, including initial fees, are recognized ratably over the expected length of the agreements.

        Self-Insurance.    We are insured for workers' compensation, employer's liability, auto liability and general liability claims, subject to a deductible of $500,000 per occurrence for 2002 and forward, and $250,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. Our non-union employee-related health care benefit plan was subject to a deductible of $100,000 per claimant per year. We replaced this plan as of January 1, 2004 with a fully indemnified program at a comparable cost. Losses up to the deductible amounts are accrued based upon our estimates of the ultimate liability for claims incurred and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. However, insurance liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to unknown factors, including the severity of an injury, the determination of our liability in proportion to other parties, the number of incidents not reported and the effectiveness of our safety program. Management utilizes known facts and historical trends, as well as actuarial valuations, in order to determine our self-insurance liabilities.

        Current and Long-Term Accounts Receivable, Provision for Doubtful Accounts and Classification of Construction Contract-related Accounts. In accordance with industry practice, the classification of construction contract-related current assets and current liabilities are based on our contract performance cycle, which may exceed one year. Accordingly, retainage receivables, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, estimated losses on uncompleted contracts, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, which are classified as current, will include certain amounts which may not be collected or liquidated within one year. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts when collection of an account or note receivable is considered doubtful. Inherent in the assessment of the allowance for doubtful accounts are certain judgments and estimates including, among others, historical collection experience, our customer's access to capital, our customer's willingness or ability to pay, general economic conditions and the ongoing relationship with the customer. For example, certain of our customers, primarily telecommunications carriers, filed for bankruptcy in the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002, or had been experiencing financial difficulties, and, as a result, we increased our allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect that certain customers may be unable to meet their obligations to us in the future. Should additional customers file for bankruptcy or experience difficulties, or should anticipated recoveries relating to the receivables in existing bankruptcies and other workout situations fail to materialize, we could experience reduced cash flows and losses in excess of current reserves.

        Valuation of Long-lived Assets.    Long-lived assets, including fixed assets and intangibles, are reviewed for impairment as events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Discounted cash flow analyses are used to assess non-amortizable intangible asset impairment, while undiscounted cash flow analyses are used to assess other long-lived impairment. The estimation of future cash flows involves considerable management judgment and is based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning. However our projections may vary from cash flows eventually realized.

51



        Income Taxes.    Income taxes are accounted for using the provision of SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). Deferred income taxes are provided at the currently enacted income tax rates for the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and carry-forward items. The effective tax rate and the tax bases of assets and liabilities reflect management's estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax audits and issues. In addition, valuation allowances are established for deferred tax assets where the amount of expected future taxable income from operations does not support the realization of the asset.

Non-Core Items

        Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 include certain historical items that, in management's opinion, are not indicative of our core operating performance. We believe it is helpful to an understanding of our business to assess the effects of these items on our results of operations to provide a better means of evaluating our performance from period to period on a more consistent basis. This presentation should not be construed as an indication that similar charges will not recur or that our future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains we consider to be outside the ordinary course of our business.

        These items are presented on a pre-tax basis. Our effective tax rates for 2002 and the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 were 32% and 28%, respectively:

Year ended December 31, 2002:    
  Gain on acquisition purchase price settlement   $(5.2) million
  Insurance reserve adjustment   $(0.4) million
       
  2002 Total   $(5.6) million

Period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003:

 

 
  Expenses related to the Exelon Transaction   $16.2 million
  Insurance reserve adjustment   $8.6 million
  Litigation judgment and related costs   $3.8 million
       
  2003 Total:   $28.6 million

        Gain on acquisition purchase price settlement:    We recognized a gain of $5.2 million relating to an arbitration settlement of a dispute regarding a purchase price adjustment with respect to an acquisition completed in 1999.

        Insurance reserve adjustment:    Since the formation of InfraSource Incorporated in 1999, we have utilized an actuarial analysis to assist management in estimating the accrual for our self-insured workers' compensation, auto and general liability insurance on an annual basis. In late 2002, we revised our estimate based on available loss data and adjusted our reserve for losses attributable to 2002 and prior periods. In September 2003, we had an updated actuarial analysis performed. As a result of the updated actuarial analysis and an increase in data available for loss history, we revised our estimate and increased our insurance reserve by $8.6 million for losses attributable to periods prior to 2003. For 2002, after giving effect to the portion of the adjustment in 2003 attributable to 2002, and the portion of the adjustment in 2002 attributable to periods prior to 2002, we had a net adjustment of $(0.4) million in 2002.

        Expenses related to the Exelon Transaction:    In connection with our acquisition of InfraSource Incorporated and certain of its subsidiaries on September 24, 2003, we incurred $16.2 million of expenses, including severance and retention costs and professional service fees.

        Litigation judgment and related costs:    We recognized a $3.8 million charge in connection with a litigation judgment entered against us in January 2004 related to a proposed 1999 acquisition. We intend to appeal this judgment.

Period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 compared to the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002

        Revenues.    Revenues decreased $30.5 million, or 7.4%, to $382.6 million for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 compared to $413.2 million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002. This decrease was principally attributable to the substantial reduction in IPP power plant construction activities and a planned reduction initiated in 2002 in our volume of natural gas construction by elimination of marginally profitable and unprofitable contracts. Those declines were partially offset by an increase in other electric infrastructure work volumes and an increase in revenues earned from affiliates of $31.0 million due to the transfer of work from one of our discontinued operating subsidiaries to a continuing subsidiary.

        Gross profit.    Gross profit decreased $26.5 million, or 33.8%, to $51.9 million for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 compared to $78.4 million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002. This decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in the IPP construction volume noted above, the increased costs attributable to the effects of extreme adverse weather conditions, and pricing pressure related to the competitive environment for natural gas construction work, offset in part by the performance of our telecommunications leasing operations.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.0 million, or 16.6%, to $49.3 million for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003

53



compared to $42.3 million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002 primarily due to $8.6 million of self-insured costs related to policy periods prior to 2003 due to an updated actuarial analysis.

        Merger related costs.    We incurred $16.2 million of one-time expenses related to the Exelon Transaction for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003.

        Provision for doubtful accounts.    Our provision for doubtful accounts decreased $7.5 million, or 97.0%, to $0.2 million for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 compared to $7.8 million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002, primarily as a result of our concentrated focus on payment terms and acceptability of customer credit risk and our liquidation of remaining claims against a former telecommunications customer, which resulted in a recovery of $1.4 million. During 2002, we recognized a provision for doubtful accounts related to the bankruptcy filings of several former telecommunications customers and also created a reserve on collections from a general contractor. During 2003, there were no such bankruptcy filings of our customers nor significant collectibility issues with any of our customers.

        Other income (expense).    Other income (expense) decreased $8.2 million to $(3.6) million for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 compared to $4.7 million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to the settlement in 2002 of a dispute of $5.2 million related to the purchase of one of our subsidiary companies, and a charge in 2003 of $3.8 million for a legal judgment against us.

        Provision (benefit) for income taxes.    The benefit for income taxes for the period January 1, 2003 through September 24, 2003 was $(4.8) million, with an effective tax rate of 30%, compared to a provision of $9.9 million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002, with an effective tax rate of 29%. The amount in 2002 excludes the tax effect of implementation of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. The effective tax rates for fiscal 2002 and 2003 result primarily from additional valuation allowances recorded during 2003 reflecting the possibility of non-utilization of certain deferred net operating loss assets in certain states. These net operating losses arose in part during fiscal 2000 and 2001, and also in part in connection with our implementation of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. The effective tax rate for 2002 reflects the reversal of previously recorded valuation allowances against certain net operating loss and other deferred tax assets, based upon our operating performance in 2002 and related expected future taxable income levels.

        Net income (loss) from continuing operations.    As a result of the factors discussed above, we recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $(11.3) million for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 compared to net income from continuing operations of $23.8 million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002.

        Discontinued operations, net of tax.    Discontinued operations include the operating results of the InfraSource Incorporated subsidiaries that were not acquired in the Exelon Transaction. All prior historical periods have been reclassified consistent with this discontinued operations presentation (see Notes 1 and 2 to the InfraSource Incorporated consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein). The net loss related to discontinued operations for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 was $(12.3) million compared to a loss of $(4.7) million for the prior period. The increase in the net loss was primarily attributable to a 25% decrease in revenues at one of the discontinued businesses as we ceased bidding new work and also significantly reduced operating margins experienced by that business as a result of losses incurred on several fixed price commercial electric construction contracts. Overall revenues and gross profit levels for discontinued operations for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 as compared to the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002 decreased by $96.2 million and $21.3 million, or by 40% and 92%,

54



respectively. The decline in gross margin was offset by a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses of $5.5 million, or 22.9%, and an increase in the benefit for taxes of $5.1 million.

        Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax.    Based on our transitional impairment test performed upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, we recognized a charge, net of tax, of $204.1 million to reduce the carrying value of the goodwill of our reporting units to its implied fair value as of January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, the impairment adjustment recognized at adoption of the new rule was reflected as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax. See Note 4 to InfraSource Incorporated's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for a discussion of assumptions and estimates used to determine the impairment charge.

        Net income (loss).    We recorded a net loss of $(23.6) million for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23 2003 compared to a net loss of $(185.0) million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002.

Year ended December 31, 2002 compared to the year ended December 31, 2001

        Revenues.    Revenues decreased $42.9 million, or 7.0%, to $566.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $609.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This decrease was attributable primarily to a reduction in telecommunications revenue, due in part to the continued decrease in capital spending by telecommunications customers, the inability of certain of those customers to raise new capital, bankruptcies in that sector and the overall downturn in the national economy. This decline also reflects a planned reduction initiated in 2002 of marginally profitable and unprofitable natural gas contracts. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in services to electric power customers primarily due to substation projects associated with the construction of IPP power plants by private developers.

        Gross profit.    Gross profit increased $0.2 million, or 0.2%, to $106.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $106.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of revenues resulted primarily from the increased volume and profitability of electric power projects, including construction of substations for IPPs and our telecommunications leasing operations, offset by a reduction in margins for our natural gas customers resulting from increased competition from other contractors and a decline in the volume of telecommunications work.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $7.5 million, or 10.5%, to $63.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $70.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. During the year ended December 31, 2002, we made a concerted effort to reduce our selling, general and administrative expenses by eliminating unprofitable and marginally profitable work as well as the related overhead, which was partially offset by an increase of self-insured costs related to policy periods prior to and including 2002.

        Provision for doubtful accounts.    Provision for doubtful accounts decreased by $0.7 million, or 8.2%, to $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The provision for 2002 and 2001 related primarily to the bankruptcy filings and financial difficulties of certain telecommunications customers.

        Other income (expense).    Other income (expense) increased $7.2 million to $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to a gain on the settlement of a $5.2 million dispute related to the purchase of one of our subsidiary companies.

        Amortization of intangible assets and goodwill.    Upon adoption of SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002, we ceased the amortization of goodwill. We recorded amortization expense of $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.

55



        Provision for income taxes.    Income tax expense, excluding tax benefits recognized in connection with the implementation of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002, was $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, with an effective tax rate of 33%, compared to a provision for income taxes of $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, with an effective tax rate of 68%. As described above, the lower effective tax rate in 2002 results primarily from the reversal of previously-recorded valuation allowances against certain net operating loss and other deferred tax assets, based upon our operating performance in 2002 and related expected future taxable income levels. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2001 reflects the impact of non-deductible goodwill amortization related to certain stock-based acquisitions, in addition to certain valuation allowances recorded, reflecting the possibility of non-utilization of certain deferred net operating loss tax assets in certain states, based upon our performance in 2001 and related future expected taxable income levels.

        Net income (loss) from continuing operations.    As a result of the factors discussed above, we recorded net income from continuing operations of $30.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to net income from continuing operations of $3.3 million for the prior period.

        Discontinued operations.    Discontinued operations include the operating results of the InfraSource Incorporated subsidiaries that were not acquired in the Exelon Transaction. All prior historical periods have been reclassified consistent with this discontinued operations presentation (see Notes 1 and 2 to the InfraSource Incorporated consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein). The net loss related to discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $(1.6) million compared to a loss of $(9.4) million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The net loss for fiscal 2001 included approximately $6.3 million in bad debt charges for uncollectible accounts receivable, primarily attributable to disputed charges for one significant commercial electric services project and to telecommunications customer-related financial difficulties. Fiscal 2001 also included $3.0 million in goodwill amortization expense, as compared to none in fiscal 2002 as a result of the implementation of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. In addition, operating revenues and gross profit increased by $21.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively, to $331.5 million and $34.4 million, respectively. These increases reflected slightly improved operating margins in 2002 due to improved service mix and cost efficiencies.

        Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax.    Based on our transitional impairment test performed upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, we recognized a charge, net of tax, of $204.1 million to reduce the carrying value of the goodwill of our reporting units to its implied fair value as of January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, the impairment adjustment recognized at adoption of the new rule was reflected as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. See Note 4 to InfraSource Incorporated's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for a discussion of assumptions and estimates used to determine the impairment charge.

        Net income (loss).    We recorded a net loss of ($175.4) million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to a net loss of ($6.0) million for the year ended December 31, 2001, primarily due to impairments of goodwill recorded pursuant to SFAS No. 142 and other items described above.

56


Year ended December 31, 2001 compared to the year ended December 31, 2000

        Revenues.    Revenues increased $156.4 million, or 34.5%, to $609.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $452.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase was attributable to a full year of contributed revenues in 2001 of $243.7 million for those companies acquired in 2000, see pro forma consolidated results of operations in Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. This increase was partially offset by decreased revenues of $69.7 million from telecommunications customers due, in part, to the inability of certain of those customers to raise new capital and the overall downturn in the national economy.

        Gross profit.    Gross profit increased $22.2 million, or 26.3%, to $106.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $84.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily from lower margins on work performed for telecommunications and natural gas customers due to increased pricing pressures, lower asset utilization and the economic factors noted above, partially offset by higher margins received on work performed for electric power customers as the IPP construction market expanded.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $11.3 million, or 19.1%, to $70.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $59.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase was attributable to the companies we acquired subsequent to December 31, 1999, offset by reductions related to the combination of some of the acquired businesses.

        Provision for doubtful accounts.    Provision for doubtful accounts decreased by $1.4 million, or 13.7%, to $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.

        Amortization of intangible assets and goodwill.    Amortization of intangible assets and goodwill increased $8.8 million, or 121%, to $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 due to the full year effect of goodwill amortization relating to acquisitions consummated during 2000 and 2001 as more fully described in Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        Provision for income taxes.    The provision for income taxes was $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, with an effective tax rate of 68% compared to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, with an effective tax rate of 61%. The effective tax rates for fiscal 2001 and 2000 reflect the impact of non-deductible goodwill amortization related to certain stock-based acquisitions. In addition, fiscal 2001 reflects certain valuation allowances recorded against certain net operating loss and other deferred tax assets, based upon the possibility of insufficient future taxable income levels necessary for realization of these assets.

        Net income from continuing operations.    Net income from continuing operations increased $0.5 million, or 17.1%, to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.

        Discontinued operations.    Discontinued operations include the operating results of the InfraSource Incorporated subsidiaries that were not acquired in the Exelon Transaction. All prior historical periods have been reclassified consistent with this discontinued operations presentation (see Notes 1 and 2 to InfraSource Incorporated's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein). The net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 of $(9.4) million compared to a loss of $(0.8) million for the year ended December 31, 2000 is attributable primarily to $6.3 million in bad debt charges for uncollectible accounts receivable, primarily attributable to disputed charges for one significant commercial electric construction project and to telecommunications customer-related financial difficulties, as previously described. In addition, goodwill amortization increased by

57



$1.0 million in fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000, due to the full year effect of amortization for subsidiaries which had been acquired during 2000. Revenues increased by $66.9 million, to $310.2 million in fiscal 2001, due primarily to growth in our commercial electric construction business of $51.0 million and the full year effect of 2000 acquisitions, which increased revenue by $28.2 million. However, gross profit decreased by $9.2 million during the same period, due to losses incurred on several commercial electric service contracts and to more competitive overall industry margins. This decrease was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative costs in 2001 as compared to 2000, attributable to cost reductions in response to decreased gross profit margins.

        Net income (loss).    We recorded a net loss of ($6.0) million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to net income of $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, primarily due to the impacts from discontinued operations as described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Prior to the Exelon Transaction, we historically financed our capital and operating needs with cash on hand, cash from operations and borrowings from Exelon, our former parent. As of September 23, 2003, immediately prior to the Exelon Transaction, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15.9 million, working capital of $70.9 million, no long-term debt and $15.9 million of letters of credit that were provided by Exelon. As of September 20, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.6 million.

        Our working capital needs are influenced by the seasonality of our business. We experience a need for additional working capital during the spring when we increase our level of outdoor construction in weather-affected regions of the country. Conversely, we convert working capital assets to cash during the winter months.

        Cash from operating activities from continuing operations.    During the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, net cash provided by operating activities was $17.8 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $5.2 million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002. The primary source of operating cash for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 was changes in non-working capital balance sheet items including deferred revenues related to licensing activities of $9.2 million. Changes in working capital balances were largely seasonal and were not otherwise a large driver of cash flow for the period primarily because of the accrued merger related expenses related to the Exelon Transaction on our balance sheet at September 23, 2003 of approximately $13.3 million.

        Cash from investing activities from continuing operations.    During the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, net cash used by financing activities was $12.5 million compared to cash used by financing activities of $13.5 million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002. The primary use of cash for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, was purchases of equipment of $16.4 million compared to $17.1 million January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002, offset by proceeds from the sale of equipment of $3.8 million and $1.5 million in the respective periods. Additionally, in the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002, we received proceeds of $4.0 million from the settlement of a purchase price dispute related to one of our acquired subsidiaries.

        Cash from financing activities from continuing operations.    During the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, net cash used in financing activities was $10.2 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $0.9 million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002. The primary use of cash for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, was $10.0 million for the redemption of minority shareholders in conjunction with the Exelon Transaction.

58



        Cash provided by discontinued operations during the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 was $1.6 million compared to cash used by discontinued operations of $0.7 million for the period January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002.

        We expect capital expenditures to range from $20.0 million to $30.0 million in 2004, which could vary depending on the expected award and timing of commencement of several large electric power transmission projects. We intend to fund those expenditures primarily from operating cash flow. We have reduced our capital expenditures over the past two years in order to increase the utilization rates of our equipment.

        We have deferred tax assets of $51.7 million as of September 23, 2003 which arose primarily from the $285.9 million pre-tax SFAS No. 142 write down of goodwill which occurred effective as of January 1, 2002. In order to assess the ability to realize those deferred tax assets, we analyze the expected future taxable income necessary to utilize the benefits, and establish selective valuation reserves where appropriate. As a result of the Exelon Transaction, all deferred tax assets will be eliminated in purchase accounting as the benefits were retained by Exelon. See also "Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Data."

        On September 24, 2003, in connection with the Exelon Transaction, we issued a $29.0 million subordinated promissory note payable to Exelon that bore interest at an annual rate of 6% and matures in 2011. The amount of the Exelon note was increased to $30.0 million in December 2003 upon completion of our acquisition of an additional entity from Exelon. On September 24, 2003, we also entered into a senior credit facility consisting of a $40.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in 2009, and a $140.0 million term loan, which matures in 2010. The term loan has mandatory principal amortization of approximately $1.4 million each year until 2009. The revolving credit facility provides both revolving credit loans and letters of credit up to $25.0 million. The senior credit facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets. As of September 24, 2003, immediately after consummation of the Exelon Transaction, we had $15.1 million of letters of credit outstanding, and $24.9 million of borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility. The level of borrowing under our senior credit facility does not reflect changes that may arise due to adjustments to the purchase price for the Exelon Transaction or Maslonka acquisition. We expect to continue to utilize a significant portion of our letter of credit availability under our revolving credit facility, which will reduce our available borrowing capacity thereunder. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repay the Exelon note and approximately $61.2 million of the term loan.

        In anticipation of the Maslonka acquisition, we amended our credit facility on January 22, 2004 to permit the acquisition and to obtain additional liquidity and operating flexibility in connection therewith, including expanding our capacity for making capital expenditures. As a result of the amendment, the commitment of the banks under the revolving credit facility was increased by $10.0 million to $50.0 million, and the amount available for letters of credit was increased by $10.0 million to $35.0 million. Within 10 business days of consummation of this offering, these increases will terminate, and our revolving credit facility commitment and availability for letters of credit will return to their prior levels of $40.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively. For a discussion of our use of these letters of credit please see "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements" below.

        Loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a base rate (the greater of the prime interest rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) or LIBOR plus a spread of between

59



2.50% and 3.50% based upon our current leverage ratio. We are required to pay an annual non-utilization fee equal to 0.50% of the unused portion of the facilities. The term loan bears interest at our option, at the bank's prime interest rate or LIBOR plus a spread of 4.50%. In addition, we pay an annual agent fee of $100,000.

        Our senior credit facility requires us to hedge the interest rate risk for one half of the principal of the term loan. We satisfied this requirement by entering into an interest rate swap where we pay a fixed rate of 2.395% in exchange for three month LIBOR until October 10, 2006. We also purchased a 4.00% interest rate cap which matures October 10, 2006 on $20.0 million of term loan principal.

        Our senior credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants, including minimum levels of net worth, interest coverage, fixed charge coverage and leverage ratios, among other restrictions. We are required to prepay loans outstanding with a percentage of excess free cash flow generated each year and the proceeds of asset sales, additional indebtedness and the sale of common stock in an initial or subsequent public offerings. The senior credit facility also places restrictions on us with regard to subsidiary indebtedness, sales of assets, liens, investments, type of business conducted, and mergers and acquisitions, among other restrictions.

        We expect to incur greater administrative costs as a result of operating as a public company but also expect to have access to capital markets that were not available to us before this offering. We expect to fund our future cash requirements with cash from operations, cash on hand (primarily from the net proceeds of this offering) and our revolving credit facility.

        We anticipate that our cash flow from operations and our senior credit facility will provide sufficient cash to enable us to meet our working capital needs, debt service requirements and planned capital expenditures for property and equipment. However, deterioration in the markets we serve, material changes in our customers' revenues or cash flows or adverse weather conditions could negatively impact our revenues and cash flows. These factors, coupled with restrictive covenants under our senior credit facility, may negatively impact our ability to meet these needs.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

        We have an obligation to pay an "earnout" pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2000, among InfraSource, Blair Park Services, Inc., Sunesys, Inc. and the shareholders named therein. As of September 23, 2003, a $2.4 million liability is included in deferred revenues and other in InfraSource Incorporated's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. This amount will increase if these businesses continue to perform successfully.

        Pursuant to the terms of the Maslonka acquisition agreement, the consideration paid at the closing of the Maslonka acquisition was subject to a holdback provision. Under the terms of the holdback, we withheld $6.6 million in cash payable at closing and 44,000 shares of the common stock we issued to the sellers at closing. If Maslonka fails to achieve specified financial targets, we will be entitled to retain a portion of the holdback amount. We will also be entitled to retain amounts under the holdback to satisfy any indemnification obligations owed to us under the acquisition agreement. We expect that the holdback amount, less any amounts retained by us, will be released to the sellers in part in 2005 and the remainder in 2006. We will pay accrued interest on the cash portion of the holdback amount released to the sellers, and the sellers will be entitled to exercise voting rights in respect of the shares of common stock subject to the holdback provision. In addition, the purchase price for the Maslonka acquisition is subject to a final working capital adjustment, which will be determined in 2004.

        At closing of the Maslonka acquisition, Maslonka had an outstanding letter of credit collateralized with a $5.0 million time deposit account provided by the Maslonka stockholders, which we acquired in the acquisition. Within six months after the closing date of the Maslonka acquisition, we are required to reimburse the Maslonka stockholders an aggregate amount of approximately $5.0 million.

        As a condition of the Exelon Transaction, we agreed to a working capital adjustment to the purchase price, based on certain thresholds. We expect to receive approximately $10.8 million as a result of this adjustment in the first quarter of 2004.

        As is common in our industry, we have entered into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business that result in risks not directly reflected in our balance sheets. Our significant off-balance sheet transactions include liabilities associated with non-cancelable operating leases, letter of credit obligations and surety guarantees. We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet financing arrangements through variable interest entities, and we do not guarantee the work or obligations of third parties.

        Operating Leases.    We enter into non-cancelable operating leases for many of our facilities, vehicle and equipment needs. These leases allow us to conserve cash by paying a monthly lease rental fee for use of facilities, vehicles and equipment rather than purchasing them. At the end of the lease, we generally have no further obligation to the lessor. We may decide to cancel or terminate a lease before the end of its term, in which case we are typically liable to the lessor for the remaining lease payments under the term of the lease.

        We have guaranteed a residual value on certain equipment operating leases. We guarantee the difference between this residual value and the fair market value of the underlying asset at the date of termination of the leases. At September 23, 2003, the maximum guaranteed residual value is minimal. We believe that no significant payments will be made as a result of the difference between the fair market value of the leased equipment and the guaranteed residual value. However, there can be no assurance that future payments will not be required.

        Letters of Credit.    Some customers require us to post letters of credit to guarantee performance under our contracts and to ensure payment to our subcontractors and vendors under those contracts. Certain of our vendors also require letters of credit to ensure reimbursement for amounts they are

61



disbursing on behalf of us, such as to beneficiaries under our self-funded insurance programs, which constitute a significant portion of our outstanding letters of credit. Such letters of credit are issued under our revolving credit facility. The letter of credit commits the issuer to pay specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit if the holder demonstrates that we have failed to perform specified actions. If this were to occur, we would be required to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit. Depending on the circumstances of such a reimbursement, we may also have to record a charge to earnings for the reimbursement. To date we have not had a claim made against a letter of credit that resulted in payments by the issuer of the letter of credit or by us and do not believe that it is likely that any claims will be made under a letter of credit in the foreseeable future.

        At December 31, 2003, we had $22.3 million in letters of credit outstanding under our senior credit facility, primarily to secure obligations under our casualty insurance program. We expect to continue to utilize a significant portion of our letter of credit availability to maintain our insurance availability and cost structure. Although not actual borrowings, letters of credit do reflect potential liabilities under our senior credit facility and therefore are treated as a use of borrowing capacity thereunder, reducing our borrowing availability for other purposes. These are irrevocable stand-by letters of credit with maturities expiring at various times throughout 2004. Upon maturity, we expected that the majority of these letters of credit will be renewed for subsequent one-year periods.

        Surety Guaranties.    Consistent with industry practice, many customers, particularly in connection with fixed-price new construction contracts, require us to post performance and payment bonds issued by a financial institution known as a surety. These bonds provide a guarantee to the customer that we will perform under the terms of a contract and that we will pay subcontractors and vendors. If we fail to perform under a contract or to pay subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond. We must reimburse the surety for any expenses or outlays it incurs. To date, we have not had any reimbursements to our surety for bond-related costs. We believe that it is unlikely that we will have to fund claims under our surety arrangements in the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2003, the total amount of outstanding performance bonds was approximately $161.8 million, $91.0 million of which were for the unacquired subsidiaries that were transferred to Exelon prior to the Exelon Transaction, and for which we are indemnified by Exelon. We expect that our bonding needs will increase with the acquisition of Maslonka, as its business has historically required performance bonds on most of its contracts. We expect that the increase in shareholders' equity on our balance sheet and our tangible net worth as a result of this offering will have a positive effect on our ability to obtain and control the cost of our future bonding needs.

        We selectively grant credit, generally without collateral, to our customers. Consequently, we are subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and economic factors throughout the United States. However, we generally are entitled to payment for work performed and have certain lien rights on our services provided. Under certain circumstances such as foreclosures or negotiated settlements, we may take title to the underlying assets in lieu of cash in settlement of receivables. We believe we do not have any significant current exposure to collection of receivables from customers. Certain of our utility customers are experiencing challenges in the current business climate. These economic conditions expose us to increased risk related to collectibility of receivables for services we have performed. One customer, Exelon, accounted for $53.5 million, or 14.0%, of revenues for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003. At December 31, 2000, we had accounts receivable from one customer that represented $18.4 million, or approximately 13.0% of total accounts receivables. At September 23, 2003, another customer represented $9.9 million, or approximately 13% of the total accounts receivable. No customers represented 10% or more of accounts receivables or revenues as of, or for, any other periods.

62


        As of September 24, 2003, we had accrued a liability of $3.8 million relating to an adverse judgment in connection with pending litigation. Please see "Business—Legal Proceedings" for further information on this and other litigation matters.

        Certain management employment agreements contained "change-in-control" provisions which were triggered by the Exelon Transaction. Those costs of $2.6 million related to the "change-in-control" provisions are accrued and included as a component of merger related costs in the accompanying InfraSource Incorporated consolidated financial statements as of September 23, 2003 and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003. We entered into new employment agreements with certain management employees, as of September 24, 2003, which, in exchange for non-competition agreements, provide that, if we terminate the employee's employment without cause (as defined in the new employment agreements), the employee terminates employment for good reason (as defined in the new employment agreements), or the employee's employment terminates due to death or disability, we will pay certain amounts to the employee, which may vary with the level of the employee's responsibility. We have the right to extend certain of those non-competition periods in exchange for increased severance payments at our option.

        In the normal course of business, we from time to time enter into transactions with related parties. Prior to the Exelon Transaction, these transactions typically took the form of network services work for Exelon or facility leases with prior owners all of the terms of which were negotiated on an "arms-length" basis and were subject to review by various state and federal regulatory bodies. Since that time, we have entered into transactions with our Principal Stockholders. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" and Note 11 to InfraSource Incorporated's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for more information.

Seasonality and Cyclicality

        Our results of operations can be subject to seasonal variations. During the winter months, demand for new projects and new maintenance service arrangements is typically lower in some geographic areas due to reduced construction activity, especially for services to natural gas distribution customers. Our working capital needs generally follow these seasonal patterns. During the winter months, we typically experience lower gross and operating margins as a result. However, demand for repair and maintenance services attributable to damage caused by inclement weather during the winter months may partially offset the loss of revenues from lower demand for new projects and new maintenance service arrangements.

        Additionally, our industry can be highly cyclical as evidenced by the recent declines in spending in the telecommunications and independent power generation sectors. As a result, our volume of business may be adversely affected by declines in new projects in various geographic regions or industries in the United States. The financial condition of our customers and their access to capital, variations in the margins of projects performed during any particular quarter, the timing and magnitude of acquisition assimilation costs, regional economic conditions and timing of acquisitions may also materially affect quarterly results. Accordingly, our operating results in any particular quarter may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other quarter or for the entire year.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        We are exposed to market risk primarily related to potential adverse changes in interest rates as discussed below. We have not historically used derivative financial instruments for trading or to speculate on changes in interest rates or commodity prices. As of September 23, 2003, we had no derivative contracts outstanding, and we are not exposed to any significant market risks, foreign currency exchange risk or interest rate risk from the use of derivative financial instruments.

        The sensitivity analysis below, which illustrates our hypothetical potential market risk exposure, estimates the effects of hypothetical sudden and sustained changes in the applicable market conditions on 2003 earnings. The sensitivity analyses presented do not consider any additional actions we may take to mitigate our exposure to such changes. The hypothetical changes and assumptions may be different from what actually occurs in the future.

        Interest Rates.    As of September 24, 2003, our $140.0 million term loan facility was subject to floating interest rates. On October 10, 2003 we entered into an interest rate swap on a $70.0 million notional amount where we pay a fixed rate of 2.395% in exchange for three month LIBOR until October 10, 2006. We also purchased a 4.00% interest rate cap that matures October 10, 2006 on $20.0 million of term loan principal. After those transactions, we had $70.0 million of our term loans subject to some floating rate risk. As such, we are exposed to earnings and fair value risk due to changes in interest rates with respect to our long-term obligations. The detrimental effect on our pre-tax earnings of a hypothetical 50 basis point increase in interest rates would be approximately $350,000. That detrimental effect on our pre-tax earnings would be $44,000 on a pro forma consolidated as adjusted basis after utilizing a portion of the proceeds of this offering to pay down our term loans. As of September 24, 2003, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Inflation

        Due to relatively low levels of inflation experienced during the periods ended September 23, 2003, December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, inflation did not have a significant effect on our results.

New Accounting Pronouncements

        In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 requires that gains and losses from extinguishment of debt be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30. The provisions of APB Opinion No. 30 distinguish transactions that are part of an entity's recurring operations from those that are unusual and infrequent and meet the criteria for classification as an extraordinary item. SFAS No. 145 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2003. The initial adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, such as restructurings, involuntarily terminating employees and consolidating facilities initiated after December 31, 2002. The initial adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both interim and annual financial statements about the method of

64



accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. We have adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        In 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 149"). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under FAS 133. The amendments set forth in FAS 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. FAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with a few exceptions) and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The initial adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity", which establishes standards on how an issuer classified and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both debt and equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered or modified after May 31, 2003 and is effective for all other financial instruments as of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position as of September 23, 2003.

        In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," which clarifies the disclosures that are to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements regarding obligations under certain guarantees issued. FIN 45 requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual reports for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, which we have adopted. The initial adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

        In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, that addresses conditions when an entity should be consolidated based upon variable interests rather than voting interests. Variable interests are ownership interests or contractual relationships that enable the holder to share in the financial risks and rewards resulting from the activities of a Variable Interest Entity (VIE). A VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either does not have equity investors with voting rights or has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. In order to apply FIN 46, InfraSource must evaluate every entity with which it is involved through variable interests to determine whether the entity is a VIE and, if it is, whether or not InfraSource is the primary beneficiary of the entity. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that receives the majority of the entity's expected losses, residual returns, or both. As a result, FIN 46 could result in consolidation of an entity that InfraSource is associated with other than by (and even in the absence of) a voting ownership interest. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

OVERVIEW OF ELECTRIC POWER TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION INFRASTRUCTURE

        For the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, on a pro forma consolidated basis, 58.4% of our revenues were derived from providing services to the electric power transmission and distribution end market consisting primarily of utility and industrial customers. In light of the significant public and political attention currently focused on the U.S. electric power transmission and distribution system, we have included below an overview of the electric infrastructure system and evidence of the current inadequacies of the system.

Electric Infrastructure System

        The electric infrastructure system in the United States is comprised of three distinct functions: generation, transmission and distribution. More than 5,000 power plants across the country generate electricity, which is transmitted to end customers through a patchwork of more than 150,000 miles of high-voltage transmission power lines and more than one million miles of lower voltage distribution power lines. Transmission power lines carry the electricity over long distances at high voltages. Distribution power lines provide electricity to end users over shorter distances at lower voltage. Within this transmission and distribution network are approximately 60,000 high-voltage substations, generally required every 50 to 75 miles, which monitor, control, stabilize and modify voltage levels throughout the network.

GRAPHIC

        The original transmission and distribution network was not designed or intended to share significant capacity between utilities or across state lines. Rather, the system was constructed over the past hundred years by vertically integrated utilities that produced and transmitted electricity locally. In the mid-1990's, mandates to deregulate the electric utility industry enabled the emergence of wholesale power markets. As a result, significantly more electricity is now being transported over longer distances, resulting in high transmission utilization and operation closer to capacity limits.

66



        Electricity consumption in the United States increased 103% between 1975 and 2001 (measured in kilowatt hours), driven by population growth, economic expansion and the proliferation of electrical devices. When adjusted for inflation, annual transmission expenditures decreased approximately 35% between 1975 and 2001. The level of investment in transmission infrastructure has also lagged investment in new power generation capacity which has increased 73% (measured in megawatts) during the same 26-year period. As a result of the increasing demand and production of electricity without corresponding investment in electric transmission assets, transmission capacity has declined significantly relative to peak demand.

Growing Evidence that Current Transmission and Distribution Infrastructure is Inadequate

        Despite significant historical spending on electric power transmission and distribution infrastructure in the United States, the infrastructure is in an increasing state of distress as evidenced by the recent power outages, an increase in the number of emergency relief procedures needed to avoid power delivery failures and the existence of numerous transmission constraints.

Recent Power Outages

        August 2003 Blackout.    On August 14, 2003, approximately 50 million people in large parts of the Midwest and Northeast United States and Canada experienced the largest blackout in North American history. One of the contributing factors identified in the November 2003 interim report by the U.S.-Canada Power System Outage Task Force was overloading of transmission lines. The task force also noted that the transmission system as a whole is being operated closer to the edge of reliability than it was just a few years ago.

        2001 California Rolling Blackouts.    In early 2001, transmission constraints contributed to rotating power outages in California. In May 2001, President Bush announced a national energy policy, which included a specific recommendation to relieve a transmission bottleneck along an 84-mile stretch of electric transmission lines connecting Northern and Southern California known as Path 15. The Path 15 upgrade consists of a number of major transmission projects with combined projected costs in excess of $300 million.

        Summer of 1999 Power Outages.    In the summer of 1999, major power outages occurred in numerous areas of the country. In the January 2000 Interim Report of the U.S. Department of Energy's Power Outage Study Team, the U.S. Department of Energy identified inadequate substation and transmission and distribution line infrastructure as among the key contributing factors to the power outages in Chicago, Long Island and New Jersey.

Increase in Number of Relief Procedures

        Transmission system operators manage line congestion to avoid power delivery failures through, among other things, a set of approved transmission loading relief ("TLR") procedures. TLRs are designed to rebalance the physical flow of power over the transmission network to avoid delivery failure. The increasing need for TLRs indicates that the system is under greater stress because it is being operated closer to, or in some cases beyond, its limits.

Historical Transmission Loading Relief Log

Identified Transmission Constraints

        In 2002, the National Transmission Grid Study by the U.S. Department of Energy highlighted the urgent need to modernize the U.S. transmission system and eliminate transmission constraints, or bottlenecks. Bottlenecks are created when power to be delivered over a path exceeds the available transmission capacity on that path. Bottlenecks can be effectively eliminated through a number of measures, including by adding or upgrading transmission lines.

BUSINESS

General

        We are one of the largest specialty contractors servicing the utility transmission and distribution infrastructure in the United States based on market share. Our broad range of services includes the design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing, maintenance and leasing of utility infrastructure. Our customers primarily include electric power utilities, natural gas utilities, government entities and heavy industrial companies, such as petrochemical, processing and refining businesses.

        Our customers rely on us to design, construct and maintain reliable electric, natural gas and other utility infrastructure. We believe we are able to combine our broad geographic footprint, integrated service offerings, skilled workforce and experienced management team to deliver a compelling value proposition to our customers.

        Our blanket master service agreements and new construction projects provide a balanced mix of recurring and project-based work. The broad range of customers, geographic regions and industries we serve provides us with diversified revenues, and a number of our specialized services that generate strong margins. For the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, on a pro forma consolidated basis, we had revenues of approximately $403.0 million. On an actual basis, revenues for this period were $382.6 million.

Industry Trends

        We believe that growth in our end markets will benefit from the following principal factors:

        Inadequacy of Current Electric Infrastructure.    We believe the electric infrastructure in the United States will require significant spending to cure historical underinvestment and to respond to increasing electricity demand. The increase in demand for electricity and growth in electric power generation capacity have outpaced the increase in transmission expenditures. This relative underinvestment has contributed to the current inadequacy of the electric power grid, which was one of the causal factors in the August 2003 blackout in the Midwest and Northeast United States and Canada, the rolling blackouts in California in 2001, the power outages in Chicago, Long Island and New Jersey in the summer of 1999, and the increase in the number of emergency relief procedures needed to avoid overloading of transmission lines. In its 2002 National Transmission Grid Study, the U.S. Department of Energy emphasized the urgent need to modernize the nation's transmission system.

        Increased Outsourcing of Infrastructure Services.    Utilities are constantly seeking ways to improve cost efficiencies, driven by pressure from investors, regulators and consumer advocates. We believe that utilities are frequently able to reduce operating costs and increase efficiencies by outsourcing a range of services to third parties. Outsourcing by utilities to third-party contractors has historically been focused on capital projects (generally construction projects) and to a lesser extent, engineering, procurement, operations and maintenance work. We believe outsourcing trends are being driven by reduced and aging utility workforces.

        Contractors can often provide services in a more efficient and cost-effective manner, in part by managing their labor force across various projects and multiple customers, while utilities must generally employ their labor force full-time. Service providers are also able to deploy their equipment and

69



resources over a larger geographic footprint than utilities. Further, unlike internal crews, contractors have a direct incentive to manage projects with an emphasis on cost-effectiveness, quality and customer satisfaction. As a result, many utilities are continuing to reduce their workforces and increase reliance on third-party service providers to perform infrastructure services.

        Favorable Regulatory, Legislative and Political Environment.    To ensure that infrastructure development keeps pace with and helps promote market development, and in response to several recent high-profile failures, federal and state governments are now prioritizing efforts to upgrade, expand, and maintain the nation's electric power grid. For example, FERC states in its Strategic Plan FY2004-2008 that its top priority is to "promote a secure, high-quality, environmentally responsible infrastructure." This goal includes objectives to expedite appropriate energy infrastructure development to ensure sufficient energy supplies and provide for timely cost recovery by infrastructure investors.

        We believe our end markets are well positioned to benefit from initiatives focused on these and related objectives. Examples of recent and proposed actions are:

70


Competitive Strengths

        Leadership in Attractive Markets.    As a result of our market leadership and reputation for high-quality service, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from anticipated spending by customers in our markets.

        Breadth of Capabilities.    We believe that customers in our end markets are increasingly seeking to improve their efficiencies by contracting with fewer service providers that can rapidly and effectively design, construct and maintain their infrastructure, in some cases across multiple geographic regions. We are one of the few utility infrastructure service providers capable of meeting a broad range of service needs in multiple service territories. We believe these capabilities are particularly advantageous because many of our competitors are small, regional firms.

        Strong Reputation for Project Execution and Safety.    Our reputation as a premier service contractor has been built on an excellent performance record of delivering projects on time, on budget and to customer specifications. Most of our operating companies have been building this reputation for decades. Our strong reputation is reflected in long-standing relationships with most of our major customers. In addition, the safety record of most of our operating subsidiaries has historically been better than industry averages, which provides us with a competitive advantage in bidding for many projects.

        Highly Skilled and Flexible Workforce.    We have an experienced and skilled workforce trained to handle technically complex projects, including high-voltage electric power work and specialized subsurface work. In addition, we are generally able to quickly vary the size of our workforce to efficiently staff our projects and to meet the needs of our customers. This provides us with a variable cost structure to effectively respond to changes in demand for our services. Moreover, our labor force consists of both union and non-union personnel, which enables us to satisfy the varied labor requirements of customers in our end markets.

        Financial Strength.    Financial strength is often an important consideration for many customers in selecting infrastructure service providers. We believe our diverse revenue base, attractive operating

71



margins and strong cash flow generation contribute to our financial strength, which provides us with an advantage over many of our competitors. In addition, our financial strength, combined with our reputation and experience, improves our access to surety bonding to support our projects. We believe the consummation of this equity offering will further enhance our financial strength and our access to surety bonding to support our growth in what has become, in recent years, a difficult bonding environment.

        Experienced Management Team.    We have a strong management team with extensive industry experience. The key members of our senior management team have worked in the utility or contracting industries for most of their careers and average over 20 years of industry experience.

Business Strategy

        Capitalize on Favorable Industry Trends in Utility Infrastructure Markets.    Large utility customers continue to present growth opportunities for us. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities resulting primarily from expected increases in spending on utility infrastructure and increased outsourcing by customers in our end markets.

        Increase Our Market Share.    We intend to leverage our competitive strengths to increase our market share by:

        Focus on Specialized Services that Generate High Margins.    We intend to continue to increase our focus on technically complex projects where the specialized capabilities of our highly skilled personnel differentiates us from many of our competitors. For example, we have targeted turnkey substation services as a core competency, where our expertise enables us to perform the work efficiently and generate high margins.

        Pursue Highly Strategic Acquisitions.    We intend to evaluate and pursue acquisition opportunities on a limited basis to bolster our presence in select regional markets or to broaden our service offerings. For example, our Maslonka acquisition will enhance our capabilities for large, high-voltage transmission projects and will allow us to cross-sell other services across a broader territory.

End Markets Overview

        We provide infrastructure services primarily to the following end markets:

        Electric Infrastructure.    We primarily focus on the construction and maintenance of electric transmission and, to a lesser extent, distribution systems. Electric transmission refers to power lines and associated substations through which electricity is transmitted over long distances at high voltages. Electric distribution refers to lower voltage power lines that provide electricity to end users over shorter distances. We believe long-term demand for our services will be driven by the continuous need to maintain transmission and distribution infrastructure. We also believe the growth in demand for our services will be driven by the need to correct the inadequacy of the transmission system, increased outsourcing by our customers and favorable legislative developments.

        Natural Gas Infrastructure.    The services we provide to natural gas customers primarily involve construction and maintenance of natural gas distribution and, to a lesser extent, transmission infrastructure. Natural gas distribution refers to low pressure lines that carry natural gas from higher pressure pipelines to end users. Baseline spending is sustained by on-going replacement of aging infrastructure, often mandated by state utilities commissions, and new residential construction. We believe the growth in demand for our services will be driven by increased outsourcing by customers in our end markets and an increased share of natural gas usage in residential markets.

        Telecommunications Infrastructure.    We provide indefeasible right of use and access to dark fiber and infrastructure services encompassing design, construction and leasing to third parties' "last-mile" and point-to-point fiber connections. We also provide telecommunications infrastructure construction and maintenance services primarily to regional Bell operating companies and other telecommunications customers. We believe that long-term growth will be driven by increasing bandwidth requirements.

Services

        Our comprehensive range of services includes the design, engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance and repair of utility infrastructure. The following provides an overview of the infrastructure we target for our services we provide:

        In addition to the above contracting services, we also:

73


        In addition to Path 15 and PowerUp Wisconsin projects, which are described more fully in Prospectus Summary—Recent Developments, the following describes certain of our significant projects and services that our customers have outsourced to us.

Types of Contracts

        We provide services under blanket master service agreements, or MSAs, on a project-by-project basis. MSAs are typically two- to three-years in duration. Under our blanket MSAs, our customers generally agree to use us to provide certain services in a specified geographic region. However, most of our contracts, including MSAs, may be terminated by our customers on short notice, typically 30 to 90 days, sometimes less. Further, although our customers assign work to us under the MSAs, our customers often have no obligation to assign work to us and are not required to use us exclusively, in some cases subject to our right of first refusal. In addition, many of our contracts, including our MSAs, are opened to public bid at the expiration of their terms and generally attract numerous bidders. Work performed under MSAs is typically billed on a unit-price or time-and-materials basis.

        Under fixed-price contracts, we agree to perform the contract for a fixed-price on an agreed schedule. We often do, but sometimes may be unable to fully recover any cost overruns to the approved contract price. A unit-price contract is essentially a fixed-price contract with the only variable being the number of units of work performed. In our transmission and distribution contracts, units are generally measured by distance of infrastructure installed. We must estimate the costs of completing a particular project to bid for fixed-price and unit-price contracts. Under our time-and-materials contracts, we are paid for labor at negotiated hourly billing rates and for other expenses, including materials, as incurred. Our project-by-project contracts tend to be fixed-price.

74



        We are also party to licensing agreements where we agree to construct and lease fiber-optic telecommunications facilities, typically with lease terms from five to twenty-five years, including certain renewal options. Under these licensing agreements, our customers lease a portion of the capacity of a fiber-optic facility, with the facility owned and maintained by us. In addition, we are paid a recurring monthly rental fee and sometimes are paid an upfront non-recurring fee, often as an installation fee.

Marketing and Customers

        Most of our marketing is conducted regionally and our sales and marketing efforts are primarily the responsibility of the management of our operating subsidiaries. In addition, our centralized business development group coordinates, promotes and markets our services for prospective large national accounts and projects that require services from multiple operating subsidiaries. For example, we have had success in the past in selling our natural gas distribution services to existing long-term electric power customers. We plan to continue to cross-sell the complementary areas within our broad range of service offerings to deliver increased value to our existing customers.

        Our customers primarily include electric power utilities, natural gas utilities, government entities, and heavy industrial companies, such as petrochemical, processing and refining businesses. A representative sample of our customer base includes:

        Our top ten customers accounted for approximately 46% of our revenues during 2002 and approximately 45% of our revenues during the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, which includes work done for those customers as a subcontractor through others. Sales to Exelon Corporation accounted for more than 14.0% of our revenues during the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003. The Path 15 transmission line project, which is part of a $300 million project managed by the U.S. Department of Energy's Western Area Power Authority, is scheduled to be substantially completed in 2004. We expect that the Western Area Power Authority will be a key customer in 2004.

Materials and Independent Contractors

        Our clients supply the majority of the materials and supplies necessary to carry out our contracted work. We do, however, from time to time, obtain materials and supplies for our own account from independent third-party providers. We do not manufacture any significant amount of materials or supplies for resale. We are not dependent on any one supplier for any materials or supplies that we obtain for our own account. We are not presently experiencing, nor do we anticipate experiencing, any difficulties in procuring an adequate amount of materials and supplies.

        We occasionally use subcontractors to perform portions of our contracts and to manage work flow. These independent contractors typically are sole proprietorships or small business entities. Independent contractors typically provide their own employees, vehicles, tools and insurance coverage. We are not dependent on any single independent contractor. Our contracts with our subcontractors typically contain provisions limiting our obligation to pay the subcontractor if our client has not paid us and to hold our subcontractors liable for their portion of the work. We typically require surety bonding from our subcontractors on projects for which we supply surety bonds to our customers.

75



Equipment

        We operate a fleet of owned and leased trucks and trailers, support vehicles and specialty construction equipment, such as backhoes, excavators, trenchers, generators, boring machines, cranes and wire pullers and tensioners. The total size of our fleet is approximately 4,000 units. Most of this fleet is serviced by our own mechanics who work at various maintenance sites and facilities. We believe that these vehicles generally are well-maintained and adequate for present operations. It is an element of our strategy to move our fleet from region-to-region as our projects require. We have pledged our owned equipment as collateral under our senior credit facility and, in certain instances, under our surety general agreement of indemnity.

Backlog

        Backlog represents the amount of revenue that we expect to realize from work to be performed on uncompleted contracts, including new contracts on which work has not yet begun. We generally classify contracts as "backlog" if we have been awarded the contract and we have authorization to proceed. We include in backlog amounts under our volume agreement with Exelon only to the extent that we have an operating agreement in place covering specific services. See Note 11 to InfraSource Incorporated's consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our backlog also includes our estimate of work to be performed under MSAs, which often have two to three year terms and revenues under lease commitments. Further, our customers are not contractually committed to specific volumes of services under our long-term maintenance contracts, and many of our contracts may be terminated with minimal notice. On a pro forma consolidated basis, our backlog at December 31, 2002 was approximately $576.0 million and at December 31, 2003 was approximately $820.0 million. We expect to fill approximately $409.0 million of our December 31, 2003 backlog in 2004. Backlog is not a measure defined in generally accepted accounting principles and our methodology in determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodology used by other companies in determining their backlog.

Competition

        The end markets in which we operate are highly fragmented and competitive. Many of our competitors are small, owner-operated companies that typically operate in a limited geographic area. Several of our competitors, particularly for large projects that require considerable resources, are large regional or national companies focused on providing services to larger utilities. We also effectively compete with many of our utility customers that may choose to self-perform their infrastructure work. In the future, competition may be encountered from new market entrants. Competitive factors in the end markets in which we operate include:


Please refer to "Risk Factors—Our industry is highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete effectively, which could result in reduced profitability and loss of market share" for further information.

76


Training, Quality Assurance and Safety

        Performance of our services requires the use of heavy equipment and exposure to potentially dangerous conditions. We are committed to a policy of operating safely and prudently and our safety record reflects this focus. We require that employees complete the prescribed training program of the operating subsidiary for which they work in addition to those required by the National Electrical Contractors Association, or NECA, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, or IBEW, and Office of Pipeline Safety Operator Qualification prior to performing more sophisticated and technical jobs. For example, all journeyman linemen are required by the IBEW and NECA to complete a minimum of 7,000 hours of on-the-job training, approximately 200 hours of classroom education and extensive testing and certification. Each operating subsidiary requires additional training, depending upon the sophistication and technical requirements of each particular job. In addition, certain of our employees maintain Department of Transportation Commercial Drivers Licenses and Operator Qualifications as required by their job functions. The OSHA Recordable rate of most of our operating subsidiaries has historically been less than the industry rate. However, the OSHA Recordable rate of certain of our subsidiaries has historically been higher than the industry average. As is common in our industry, we have regularly been and will continue to be subject to claims by employees, customers and third parties for property damage and personal injuries.

Risk Management and Insurance

        We are committed to ensuring that our employees perform their work safely. We regularly communicate with our employees to promote safety and to instill safe work habits. We have agreements to insure us for workers' compensation, employer's liability, auto liability and general liability, subject to a deductible of $500,000 per occurrence. Our workers' compensation and insurance expenses have been increasing for several years, notwithstanding our improving safety record. Because of this deductible and the rising cost of insurance, we have a direct incentive to minimize claims. The nature and frequency of employee claims directly affects our operating performance. Because of the physical and sometimes dangerous nature of our business, we maintain substantial loss accruals for workers' compensation claims. The accruals are based upon known facts and historical trends and management believes such accruals to be adequate. In addition, many of our customer contracts require us to maintain specific insurance coverage. Our insurers require us to maintain letters of credit to cover our deductible payment obligations, and the required support level increased in 2003. As of January 1, 2004, we have replaced our $100,000 deductible non-union health care benefit program with a fully indemnified program.

Regulation

        Our operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations including:

        Many state and local regulations governing electrical construction require permits and licenses to be held by individuals who have passed an examination or met other requirements.

77



Environmental Matters

        We are committed to the protection of the environment and train our employees to perform their duties accordingly. We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations governing our operations, including the handling, transportation and disposal of nonhazardous and hazardous substances and wastes, as well as emissions and discharges into the environment, including discharges to air, surface water and groundwater. We also are subject to laws and regulations that impose liability and cleanup responsibility for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Under certain of these laws and regulations, such liabilities can be imposed for cleanup of previously owned or operated properties, or properties to which substances or wastes were sent by current or former operations at our facilities, regardless of whether we directly caused the contamination or violated any law at the time of discharge or disposal. The presence of contamination from such substances or wastes could interfere with ongoing operations, adversely affect our ability to sell or lease our properties, or to use them as collateral for financing.

        From time to time, we have incurred and are incurring costs and obligations for correcting environmental noncompliance matters and for remediation at or relating to certain of our properties. We believe we have complied with, or are currently complying with, our environmental obligations to date and that such liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial performance. For a number of these matters, we have obtained indemnification or covenants from third parties (including predecessors or lessors) for such cleanup and other obligations and liabilities that we believe are adequate to cover such obligations and liabilities. However, such third-party indemnities or covenants may not cover all our costs, and such unanticipated obligations or liabilities, or future obligations and liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our business operations or financial condition.

Performance Bonds and Letters of Credit

        Certain of our contracts require performance bonds or other means of financial assurance to secure contractual performance. Surety market conditions are currently difficult as a result of significant losses incurred by many sureties in recent periods, both in the construction industry as well as in certain larger corporate bankruptcies. As a result, less bonding capacity is available in the market and terms have become more restrictive. In September 2003, we entered into a new bonding program, which we believe should be sufficient for normal operations. Our bonding program is secured by a $2.5 million letter of credit and subject to minimum tangible net worth and debt to equity tests. We will attempt to obtain additional unsecured bonding capacity for business opportunities arising above the current program. We believe that the consummation of this equity offering will further enhance our access to surety bonding.

        Certain of our vendors require letters of credit to ensure reimbursement for amounts they are disbursing on our behalf, such as to beneficiaries under our self-funded insurance programs. We also post letters of credit to support our surety bond program and customers may require us to post letters of credit to guarantee performance under certain of our contracts. We had $15.1 million in letters of credit outstanding as of September 24, 2003 under our senior credit facility, primarily to secure obligations under our casualty insurance program and support our surety bond program. We pay a fee on the outstanding letters of credit at a per annum rate of 3.50%, subject to subsequent adjustment, and a fronting fee of 0.25% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each letter of credit. Such letters of credit are generally issued under our senior credit facility. Our senior credit facility provides a $25 million sub-limit for letters of credit under our $40 million revolving facility. Although not actual borrowings, letters of credit do reflect potential liabilities under our credit facility and therefore are treated as a use of borrowing capacity under our credit facility, reducing our borrowing availability for other purposes. In addition, Maslonka has a $5.0 million letter of credit outstanding which is collateralized with a $5.0 million time deposit account provided by the Maslonka stockholders.

78



Within six months following the Maslonka acquisition, we are required to pay $5.0 million to the Maslonka stockholders, and we will acquire the time deposit account.

Employees

        At September 24, 2003, we employed approximately 3,000 persons, of which approximately 2,000 were unionized. At September 30, 2003, Maslonka employed approximately 100 persons, none of which was unionized.

        Our number of employees, particularly the number of general laborers, fluctuates depending upon the number and size of the projects and contracts undertaken by us at a particular time. For example in 2003, our number of employees ranged from approximately 2,700 to 3,200. We have contracts with numerous unions including the NECA and the IBEW, among others. We believe that our relationships with our employees and union representatives are good.

Properties

        Our headquarters are located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. As of September 24, 2003, we owned 17 facilities and leased 68 properties. We have pledged our owned properties as collateral under our senior credit facility. After giving effect to the Maslonka acquisition, we owned 20 facilities and leased 71 properties as of September 24, 2003. Most of our properties are used as offices or fleet operations. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current operations.

Legal Proceedings

        On February 7, 2003, Rahsanne Bickmann filed suit in the Travis County District Court in Texas State Court against Maslonka and one employee alleging, among other things, gross negligence and seeking approximately $24.0 million in actual and compensatory damages. The claim arose out of an automobile accident that took place on December 1, 2002 on an interstate highway in Texas and resulted in death. This lawsuit is currently pending before the Travis County District Court.

        In January 2004, a judgment was entered against us in the amount of $3.8 million. The judgment upheld allegations by the plaintiff related to a proposed 1999 business acquisition that was never consummated. We intend to appeal this judgment.

        From time to time, we are a party to various other lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we accrue reserves when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, or of cash flows, or on our financial condition.

Board Composition

        Our board of directors consists of seven members. Our board of directors is elected annually, and each director holds office for a one-year term. In addition, in order to ensure compliance with the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, the composition of the board of directors may change prior to and following the offering. It is our intention to be in full and timely compliance with all applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange and applicable law, including with respect to the independence of our directors. We intend to rely on the "controlled company" exception to the board of directors and committee composition requirements under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. The "controlled company" exception does not modify the independence requirements for the audit committee, and we intend to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the New York Stock Exchange rules which require that our audit committee be composed of at least three independent directors.

Board Committees

        Our board of directors has the authority to appoint committees to perform certain management and administration functions. Our board of directors currently has an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee.

        The audit committee selects, on behalf of our board of directors, an independent public accounting firm to be engaged to audit our financial statements, discusses with the independent auditors their independence, reviews and discusses the audited financial statements with the independent auditors and management and recommends to our board of directors whether the audited financials should be included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC. Mr. Schapiro is the chairman of our audit committee and the other member of our audit committee is Mr. Marshall. We currently have a vacancy on our audit committee. Our board of directors intends to replace Mr. Schapiro with an independent director and to appoint new independent directors to the audit committee. The audit committee will consist of three members, all of whom will be independent directors within one year following the consummation of this offering.

        The compensation committee reviews and either approves, on behalf of our board of directors, or recommends to the board of directors for approval (1) the annual salaries and other compensation of our executive officers and (2) individual stock and stock option grants. The compensation committee also provides assistance and recommendations with respect to our compensation policies and practices and assists with the administration of our compensation plans. Mr. Brayman is the chairman of our compensation committee, and the other members of our compensation committee are Messrs. Brothers and Helwig.

82



        The nominating and corporate governance committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibilities by identifying and approving individuals qualified to serve as members of our board of directors, selecting director nominees for our annual meetings of stockholders, evaluating the performance of our board of directors, and developing and recommending to our board of directors corporate governance guidelines and oversight with respect to corporate governance and ethical conduct. Mr. Harmon is the chairman of our nominating and corporate governance committee, and the other members of our nominating and corporate governance committee are Messrs. Marshall and Schapiro.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        Mr. Brothers and Mr. Helwig each served as officers of our company in 2003. Mr. Helwig currently serves as our president and chief executive officer, and Mr. Brothers resigned as an officer in October 2003. Mr. Brayman was not an officer or employee of our company during 2003. We do not expect that any of our executive officers will serve as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers serves on our board of directors or compensation committee.

Compensation of Directors

        For the year ended December 31, 2003, the individuals serving on the board of directors who were not our employees did not receive any compensation so long as they were affiliated with, or had a financial interest in, us.

        After consummation of this offering, we intend to pay our non-employee directors an annual retainer of $25,000 as fees related to their service on our board of directors and an additional annual retainer of $5,000 for each committee on which they serve as a member. Any non-employee director who also serves as chairman of the board will receive an annual retainer of $75,000 in lieu of the foregoing retainers.

In addition, non-employee directors are eligible to receive an option grant to purchase 915 shares under our 2003 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, which following the offering, we will replace with our 2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan. A non-employee director who serves as chairman of the board is eligible to receive a grant of an option for 1,830 shares under the same plan.

Stock Option Plans

        2003 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan.    The 2003 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was adopted by our board of directors on September 23, 2003 and approved by our stockholders on September 23, 2003, which was subsequently amended, for the benefit of our officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors. This plan provides for the grant of stock options and restricted stock. An award may consist of one arrangement or benefit or two or more of them in tandem or in the alternative. An aggregate of 96,500 shares of common stock is reserved for issuance under this plan. As of December 31, 2003, we had granted options to purchase an aggregate of 90,118 shares of common stock under this plan. We will not be granting awards pursuant to this plan following the offering.

        In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend or other change in corporate structure affecting our common stock, an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be made in (i) the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under this plan, (ii) the kind, number and option price of shares subject to outstanding options granted under this plan, and (iii) the kind, number and purchase price of shares subject to outstanding awards of restricted stock as may be determined in good faith by the administrator of the plan. The administrator may make such other substitutions or adjustments as may be determined in good faith and may provide for the cancellation of any outstanding awards and payment in cash or other property therefor.

86



        2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan.    The 2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was adopted by our board of directors on                         , 2004, and approved by our stockholders on            , 2004, for the benefit of our officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors. An aggregate of             shares of common stock is reserved for issuance under this plan, plus an annual increase to be added automatically on the first day of our fiscal year (beginning in 2005) equal to the lesser of (i)             shares or (ii)                         of the number of outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. This plan provides for the issuance of stock-based incentive awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, and performance shares. An award may consist of one arrangement or benefit or two or more of them in tandem or in the alternative. Under this plan, awards covering no more than                        shares may be granted to any participant in any one year.

        This plan will initially be administered by our board of directors, although it may be administered by either our board of directors or any committee of our board of directors (the board or committee being sometimes referred to as the "plan administrator"). The plan administrator may interpret this plan and may prescribe, amend and rescind rules and make all other determinations necessary or desirable for the administration of this plan. This plan permits the plan administrator to select the officers, directors, key employees, advisors and consultants (including directors who are also employees) who will receive awards, to determine the terms and conditions of those awards, including but not limited to the exercise price, the number of shares subject to awards, the term of the awards, the vesting schedule applicable to awards, and to amend the terms and conditions of outstanding awards, including, but not limited to reducing the exercise price of such awards, extending the exercise period of such awards and accelerating the vesting schedule of such awards.

        We may issue two types of stock options under this plan: incentive stock options ("ISOs"), which are intended to qualify under the Code, and non-qualified stock options ("NSOs"). The option price of each ISO granted under this plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the ISO is granted.

        In connection with this offering, each of our non-employee directors will receive an initial grant of options to purchase                        shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to                        . Each of our non-employee directors elected to the board of directors for the first time thereafter will receive, upon such election, an initial grant of options to purchase                        shares of common stock at fair market value on the date of grant. In addition, each of our non-employee directors will receive an annual grant of options to purchase                        shares for each year during such director's term. All of the foregoing options will have a 10 year term and will vest over a            year period. The foregoing awards of options will be granted automatically under this plan.

        Stock appreciation rights ("SARs") may be granted under this plan either alone or in conjunction with all or part of any stock option granted under this plan. A SAR granted under this plan entitles its holder to receive, at the time of exercise, an amount per share equal to the excess of the fair market value (at the date of exercise) of a share of common stock over a specified price fixed by the plan administrator.

        Restricted stock, deferred stock and performance shares may be granted under this plan. The plan administrator will determine the purchase price, performance period and performance goals, if any, with respect to the grant of restricted stock, deferred stock and performance shares. Participants with restricted stock and preferred shares generally have all of the rights of a stockholder. With respect to deferred stock, during the deferral period, subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the plan administrator, the deferred stock units may be credited with dividend equivalent rights. If the performance goals and other restrictions are not attained, the participant will forfeit his or her shares of restricted stock, deferred stock and/or performance shares.

87



        In the event of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend or other change in corporate structure affecting the number of issued shares of common stock, the plan administrator may make an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment in the number and type of shares authorized by this plan, the number and type of shares covered by, or with respect to which payments are measured under, outstanding awards and the exercise prices. In addition, the plan administrator, in its discretion, may terminate all awards with payment of cash or in-kind consideration.

        The terms of this plan provide that the plan administrator may amend, suspend or terminate this plan at any time, provided, however, that some amendments require approval of our stockholders. Further, no action may be taken which adversely affects any rights under outstanding awards without the holder's consent.

        2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.    In                        , 2004, the board of directors adopted and our stockholders approved our 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") which allows eligible employees to purchase our common stock at a discount from fair market value. A total of         shares of common stock has been reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan, plus an annual increase to be added automatically on the first day of our fiscal year (beginning 2005) equal to the lesser of (i)             shares or (ii)             of the number of outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

        The Purchase Plan will be administered by our board of directors, or a specifically designated committee of the board of directors (this board or committee is sometimes referred to as the "plan administrator"). The plan administrator may interpret the Purchase Plan and, subject to its provisions, may prescribe, amend and rescind rules and make all other determinations necessary or desirable for the administration of the Purchase Plan.

        The Purchase Plan contains six-month offering periods that commence on the first trading day on or after                        and                         of each year and end on the last trading day prior to the commencement of the next offering period; provided, however, that the first offering period under the Purchase Plan will commence upon the completion of the Offering and end on the trading on or before                        .

        Employees are eligible to participate if they are employed by us or any participating subsidiary for at least 20 hours per week and more than five months in any calendar year. However, an employee may not be granted the right to purchase stock under the Purchase Plan if the employee (i) immediately after the grant would own stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our capital stock, or (ii) holds rights to purchase stock under any of our employee stock purchase plans that together accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 worth of stock for each calendar year. The Purchase Plan permits each employee to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to            % of the employee's "compensation." Compensation is defined as the employee's base salary, exclusive of any bonus, fee, overtime pay, severance pay, expenses or other special emolument or any credit or benefit under any of our employee plans. The maximum number of shares an employee may purchase during a single offering period is                        shares.

        Amounts deducted and accumulated by the employee are used to purchase shares of common stock at the end of each offering period. The price of the common stock offered under the Purchase Plan is an amount equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or at the end of each offering period. Employees may end their participation in the Purchase Plan at any time during an offering period, in which event, any amounts withheld through payroll deductions and not otherwise used to purchase shares will be returned to them. Participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with us.

        Rights granted under the Purchase Plan are not transferable by an employee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Purchase Plan provides that, in the event of a merger,

88



consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend or other change in corporate structure affecting the number of issued shares of our common stock, the plan administrator will conclusively determine the appropriate equitable adjustments. The Purchase Plan will terminate in 2014. Our board of directors has the authority to amend or terminate the Purchase Plan, except that no amendment or termination may adversely affect any outstanding rights under the Purchase Plan.

        InfraSource Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan.    We sponsor the InfraSource Incorporated Deferred Compensation Plan, a non-tax-qualified plan in which employees may participate if such employees are: (i) employed by InfraSource Incorporated at a director level or above, (ii) employed by a subsidiary corporation at a Vice President level or above or (iii) employed by a subsidiary corporation below the Vice President level if strong evidence exists that the employee is included in the subsidiary's senior management team. The Deferred Compensation Plan allows participants to elect to make pre-tax deferrals of up to 75% of their annual base salary and 100% of their bonuses in coordination with amounts contributed to the qualified 401(k) plan. In addition, each participant may elect to defer an excess amount equal to any amount distributed or paid to the participant from our 401(k) plan during the calendar year to correct a failure to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of the Code. The Deferred Compensation Plan allows us to make matching contributions with respect to participants who elect to defer a portion of their annual base salary. A participant's interest in his matching contributions vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in our 401(k) plan. A participant's deferrals and matching contributions, if any, are credited to a bookkeeping account and accrue earnings and losses as if held in certain investments selected by the participant. Amounts credited to a participant's account will be distributed upon the earlier of the participant's (i) retirement or (ii) separation from service, provided, however, if the separation of service occurs prior to the participant's attainment of age 65, the distribution may be delayed until the participant has attained 65 if the participant has timely elected to so defer such payment. Our Deferred Compensation Plan is unfunded, and participants are unsecured general creditors of InfraSource Incorporated as to their accounts.

Employment Agreements

        We have entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Helwig, Montgomery, Jackson, Reiten and Daily. Each of the agreements became effective on September 24, 2003 and provide for each officer's at-will employment that may be terminated at any time for any reason at our or the officer's option.

        Under each officer's agreement, each is entitled to (i) an annual base salary that is reviewed annually and (ii) a signing bonus. Mr. Helwig is entitled to receive a base salary of $387,600 and a signing bonus of $300,000; Mr. Montgomery is entitled to receive a base salary of $225,000 and a signing bonus of $150,000; Mr. Reiten is entitled to receive a base salary of $190,000 and a signing bonus of $165,000; Mr. Daily is entitled to receive a base salary of $220,000 and a signing bonus of $150,000; and Mr. Jackson is entitled to receive a base salary of $250,000 and a signing bonus of $200,000. Seventy-five percent of the signing bonus for each officer has already been paid in cash or shares of our common stock, as elected by the officer, and the remaining 25% of the signing bonus will be paid if the officer is employed by us on September 23, 2005. For those officers who elected to have their signing bonus paid in shares, we agreed to reimburse them in respect of the taxes incurred on the initial signing bonus shares and as well as any taxes on the tax reimbursement. In addition, each officer is entitled to participate in our Annual Incentive Compensation Program and has been granted an option to purchase shares of our common stock.

        In the event the officer's employment is terminated by us for cause or terminated by the officer without good reason, he will be entitled to receive his accrued base salary and benefits through the termination date. In the event the officer's employment is terminated as a result of the officer's death or disability, the officer or his estate will be entitled to receive his accrued base salary and benefits

89



through the date of termination and any prorated share (based on the period of actual employment) of any bonus under the Annual Incentive Compensation Program that the officer would have been entitled to had he worked the full year during which the termination occurred.

        In the event the officer's employment is terminated on or prior to September 24, 2005, by the officer for good reason or by us for any reason other than the officer's death or disability or other than for cause, in exchange for a release as to any and all claims the officer may have against us and agreement not to compete until the second anniversary of the date of his employment termination, the officer will be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) any unpaid portion of the officer's signing bonus, (ii) an amount equal to the prorated share of his bonus under the Annual Incentive Compensation Program, (iii) an amount equal to two times the sum of his base salary at the time of termination and target bonus under the Annual Incentive Compensation Program for the year in which such termination occurred, not to exceed $550,000 in the aggregate ($800,000 for Mr. Helwig), and (iv) medical and health insurance benefits for up to twenty-four months. The officer will also be entitled, in exchange for a release as to any and all claims the officer may have against us and an agreement not to compete until the second anniversary of the date of his employment termination, to such severance benefits if, in connection with a change of control transaction or within two years thereafter, the officer's employment is terminated by the officer for good reason or by us for any reason other than the officer's death or disability or other than for cause.

        In the event the officer's employment is terminated following September 24, 2005 by the officer for good reason or by us for any reason other than the officer's death or disability or other than for cause, in exchange for a release as to any and all claims the officer may have against us and an agreement not to compete until the second anniversary of the date of his employment termination, the officer will be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) an amount equal to the prorated share of his bonus under the Annual Incentive Compensation Program, (ii) an amount equal to two times the sum of his base salary at the time of termination and (iii) medical and health insurance benefits for up to twenty-four months.

        Each of the officers' employment agreements contains confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions effective through the term of the agreement and for a period of two years thereafter if the officer is entitled to severance benefits described above. In addition, in the event the officer's employment is terminated on or prior to September 24, 2005, by the officer for good reason, he agrees to be bound by the non-competition provisions for a period of one year in exchange for up to one year's health and insurance coverage. Following the anniversary of the termination date, we may elect to extend the non-competition period for an additional year by (i) paying the officer the difference between his base salary at the time his termination and the option spread value of his vested shares at the time of his termination and (ii) providing health and insurance coverage for up to an additional year. In the event the officer's employment is terminated following September 24, 2005, by the officer for good reason, we may elect to extend the non-competition period for up to two years by (i) paying the officer the difference between two times his base salary at the time his termination and the option spread value of the vested shares at the time of his termination and (ii) providing health and insurance coverage for up to an additional two years.

        On January 27, 2004, Mr. Daily entered into an amendment to cancel 1,168 shares subject to his time-based option agreement.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Exelon Transaction

        In May 2003, our Principal Stockholders, which are investment funds managed by Oaktree and GFI, formed our company to acquire InfraSource Incorporated and certain of its subsidiaries from Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC. The transaction was completed on September 24, 2003. The acquisition was financed with:

        In December 2003, the subordinated promissory note payable to Exelon was increased to $30 million upon completion of our acquisition of an additional entity from Exelon.

        For a discussion of related party transactions prior to the Exelon Transaction, see Note 11 to InfraSource Incorporated's consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus.

Stockholders' Agreement

        In September 2003, we and certain holders of our common stock became parties to a stockholders' agreement. Upon closing of the Maslonka transaction, the Maslonka sellers were added as parties. This stockholders' agreement gives our Principal Stockholders a right of first refusal if any existing stockholder proposes to transfer its common stock. Upon the closing of this offering, most of the provisions of the stockholders' agreement, including those providing for the right of first refusal, will automatically terminate.

Volume Agreement

        In September 2003, in connection with the Exelon Transaction, we entered into a volume agreement with Exelon Enterprises Company, LLC, pursuant to which we are assured a continuing level of business from Exelon through 2006, at approximately the same levels as in 2003. Exelon may terminate this volume agreement in the event any contract pursuant to which we provide services to Exelon and its affiliates is terminated due to a material breach by us.

Registration Rights Agreement

        We intend to enter into a registration rights agreement with our Principal Stockholders and the sellers in the Maslonka acquisition. Subject to certain conditions, the registration rights agreement will require us to register their shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission so that those shares may be publicly resold or to include their shares in any registration statement we file. The sellers in the Maslonka acquisition will not be entitled to demand registration rights. The underwriters of any underwritten offering will have the right to limit the number of shares to be included in the filed registration statement. In addition, we will pay all expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions) on behalf of any selling stockholder participating in a demand or piggyback registration pursuant to the registration right agreement, including expenses of the selling stockholders participating in this offering.

91



Maslonka Acquisition Financing

        On January 27, 2004, we acquired Maslonka. We financed a majority of the cash portion of the Maslonka acquisition consideration with:

Maslonka Performance Bond

        In connection with the Maslonka acquisition, our Principal Stockholders secured the issuance of $10.0 million letters of credit. These letters of credit were provided as credit support to enable Maslonka to secure a performance bond on a new project award. After consummation of the Maslonka acquisition, we will cause the letters of credit to be terminated. We have agreed to pay an aggregate fee of $200,000 to the Principal Stockholders for providing this security.

Maslonka Lease

        We lease our Maslonka headquarters in Mesa, Arizona and our Maslonka Texas field office in San Angelo, Texas from EC Source, LLC, which is wholly-owned by Martin Maslonka. Our leases for these two properties will run through February 2009, subject to a five-year renewal option. Pursuant to these leases, we will incur total annual lease payments of $168,000.

Maslonka Promissory Note

        Maslonka is the issuer of a $1.0 million installment promissory note in favor of Martin Maslonka. The promissory note bears interest at an annual rate of 8.5%, and interest is payable in equal monthly payments of $7,083. The promissory note matures on June 30, 2006.

Coleman Properties Lease

        We lease office and warehouse space from Coleman Properties of which Lawrence Coleman, President of Blair Park Services, Inc. and Sunesys, Inc., and his brother are general partners. Our annual lease payments are approximately $86,000.

        Percentage ownership before the offering is based on 915,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2003, subject to the assumptions set forth below. Percentage ownership after the offering is based on            shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the closing of this offering. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by footnote and subject to community property laws where applicable, to our knowledge, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are exercisable as of December 31, 2003, or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

        The following is a description of our capital stock and the material provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other agreements to which we and our stockholders are parties, in each case upon the closing of this offering. The following is only a summary and is qualified by applicable law and by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other agreements, copies of which are available as set forth under the caption entitled "Where You Can Find More Information."

General

        As of December 31, 2003,            shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, and there were approximately five holders of our common stock. Following this offering, our certificate of incorporation will provide that our authorized capital stock will consist of an aggregate of            shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and            shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and we will have an aggregate of            shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Each such outstanding share of our common stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, at such time,             shares of our common stock will be reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding options.

Common Stock

        Voting.    The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter properly submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Stockholders are not entitled to vote cumulatively for the election of directors.

        Dividend Rights.    Subject to the dividend rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends and other distributions of cash or any other right or property as may be declared by our board of directors out of our assets or funds legally available for such dividends or distributions.

        Liquidation Rights.    In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, holders of our common stock would be entitled to share ratably in our assets that are legally available for distribution to stockholders after payment of liabilities. If we have any preferred stock outstanding at such time, holders of the preferred stock may be entitled to distribution and/or liquidation preferences. In either such case, we must pay the applicable distribution to the holders of our preferred stock before we may pay distributions to the holders of our common stock.

        Conversion, Redemption and Preemptive Rights.    Holders of our common stock have no conversion, redemption, preemptive, subscription or similar rights.

Preferred Stock

        Following this offering, our certificate of incorporation will authorize our board of directors, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to issue up to             shares of preferred stock in one or more series without further stockholder approval. The board will have discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of, including, without limitation, voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of, and to fix the number of shares of, each series of our preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest.

95



Limitations on Directors' Liability

        Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions indemnifying our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. Prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors which may, in some cases, be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Delaware law.

        In addition, as permitted by Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation provides that no director will be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of certain fiduciary duties as a director. The effect of this provision is to restrict our rights and the rights of our stockholders in derivative suits to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of certain fiduciary duties as a director, except that a director will be personally liable for:

        This provision does not affect a director's liability under the federal securities laws.

        To the extent that our directors, officers and controlling persons are indemnified under the provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation, Delaware law or contractual arrangements against liabilities arising under the Securities Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware Law that May Have an Anti-Takeover Effect

        Certain provisions in the our certificate of incorporation and bylaws summarized below may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, including attempts that might result in a premium being paid over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.

        Following the completion of this offering, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will contain provisions that will permit us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to            shares of preferred stock in one or more series and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting the series and the designation of the series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares of the series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the shares of such series.

        The foregoing proposed provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions also are intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that could result from actual or

96



rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management.

        We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any "business combination" (as defined below) with any "interested stockholder" (as defined below) for a period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (1) prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (2) on consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned (x) by persons who are directors and also officers and (y) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or (3) on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

        Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law defines "business combination" to include: (1) any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; (2) any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; (3) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; (4) any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or (5) the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. In general, Section 203 defines an "interested stockholder" as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

The New York Stock Exchange

        We will apply to list our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "IFS".

Transfer Agent and Registrar

        The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is LaSalle Bank National Association.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

        Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock, and a significant public market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of significant amounts of our common stock, including shares of our outstanding common stock and shares of our common stock issued upon exercise of outstanding options, in the public market after this offering could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

Sale of Restricted Shares and Lock-Up Agreements

        Upon the closing of this offering, we will have outstanding            shares of common stock based upon our shares outstanding as of September 24, 2003.

        Of these shares, the            shares of common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, unless purchased by affiliates of our company, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

        The remaining            shares of common stock were issued and sold by us in private transactions, and are eligible for public sale if registered under the Securities Act or sold in accordance with Rules 144, 144(k) or 701 of the Securities Act. However,            of these remaining shares of common stock are held by officers, directors, and existing stockholders who are subject to lock-up agreements for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus under which all holders of our common stock have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of their shares of common stock. The representatives of the underwriters may, in their sole discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to the lock-up agreements.

        As of the date of this prospectus, up to            of the remaining shares may be eligible for sale in the public market. Beginning 180 days after the date of this prospectus,            of these remaining shares will be eligible for sale in the public market, although all but            shares will be subject to certain volume limitations under Rule 144.

Rule 144

        In general, Rule 144 allows a stockholder (or stockholders where shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least one year and who files a Form 144 with the SEC to sell within any three month period commencing 90 days after the date of this prospectus a number of those shares that does not exceed the greater of:

        Sales under Rule 144, however, are subject to specific manner of sale provisions, notice requirements, and the availability of current public information about our company. We cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock our existing stockholders will sell under Rule 144, as this will depend on the market price for our common stock, the personal circumstances of the stockholders, and other factors.

Rule 144(k)

        Under Rule 144(k), in general, a stockholder who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least two years and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of our company at any time during the immediately preceding 90 days may sell shares without complying with the manner of

98



sale provisions, notice requirements, public information requirements, or volume limitations of Rule 144. Affiliates of our company, however, must always sell pursuant to Rule 144, even after the otherwise applicable Rule 144(k) holding periods have been satisfied.

Rule 701

        Rule 701 generally allows a stockholder who purchased shares of our common stock pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of our company during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell these shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of our company to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling such shares pursuant to Rule 701.

        As of September 24, 2003, no shares of our outstanding common stock had been issued in reliance on Rule 701 as a result of exercises of stock options.

Options

        In addition to the            shares of common stock outstanding, immediately after this offering, as of September 24, 2003, there were outstanding options to purchase            shares of our common stock. As soon as practicable after the closing of this offering, we intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act covering shares of our common stock issued or reserved for issuance under our 2004 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and our 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Accordingly, shares of our common stock registered under such registration statement will be available for sale in the open market upon exercise by the holders, subject to vesting restrictions with us, contractual lock-up restrictions, and/or market stand-off provisions applicable to each option agreement that prohibit the sale or other disposition of the shares of common stock underlying the options for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent from us or our underwriters.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

        The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our common stock by an investor that, for United States federal income tax purposes, is not a "United States person" as defined below (a "Non-U.S. Holder"). This summary is based upon United States federal income tax law in effect on the date of this prospectus, which is subject to change or different interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary does not discuss all aspects of United States federal income taxation which may be important to particular investors in light of their individual investment circumstances, such as common stock held by investors subject to special tax rules (e.g., financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, and domestic and foreign tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)) or to persons that will hold our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated security transaction for United States federal income tax purposes or that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss any (1) United States federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder that (A) is engaged in the conduct of a United States trade or business, (B) is a nonresident alien individual who is (or deemed to be) present in the United States for 183 or more days during the taxable year, or (C) owns actually and/or constructively more than 5% of the fair market value of our common stock and (2) state, local, or non-United States tax considerations. This summary assumes that investors will hold our common stock as a "capital asset" (generally, property held for investment) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each prospective investor is urged to consult his tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state, local, and non-United States income and other tax considerations of an investment in our common stock, including as a result of changes to United States federal income tax law after the date of this prospectus.

        For purposes of this summary, a "United States person" is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (1) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation, partnership, or other entity created in, or organized under the law of, the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, (3) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (4) a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that was in existence on August 20, 1996, was treated as a United States person on the previous day, and elected to continue to be so treated.

        If a partnership holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our common stock, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our common stock.

Dividends

        Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to United States federal withholding tax at a 30% rate subject to reduction or complete exemption under an applicable income tax treaty if the Non-U.S. Holder provides a United States Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") Form W-8BEN (or a suitable substitute form) certifying that it is entitled to such treaty benefits.

Sale or Other Disposition of Common Stock

        Upon a sale or other disposition of our common stock, a Non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to United States federal income tax.

100



Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        In general, backup withholding will not apply to dividends paid to a Non-United States Holder and to proceeds from the disposition of our common stock paid to a Non-U.S. Holder if the holder has provided the required certification that it is a Non-U.S. Holder and neither we nor our paying agents have actual knowledge or reason to know that the holder is a United States person. Generally, we must report to the IRS the amount of dividends paid, the name and the address of the recipient, and the amount, if any, of tax withheld. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. These information reporting requirements apply even if no tax was required to be withheld. Any amounts over withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be refunded, or credited against the holder's United States federal income tax liability, if any, provided that certain required information is provided to the IRS.

101



UNDERWRITING

        Under the terms of an underwriting agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement relating to this prospectus, each of the underwriters named below, for whom Lehman Brothers Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated are acting as representatives, have severally agreed to purchase from us and the selling stockholders the respective number of shares of common stock shown opposite their names below:

Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
                    Incorporated
   
  Total    
   

        The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters' obligations to purchase shares of common stock depends on the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, including:

Commissions and Expenses

        The following table summarizes the underwriting discounts and commissions we and the selling stockholders will pay to the underwriters. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' overallotment option to purchase            additional shares. The underwriting fee is the difference between the initial price to the public and the amount the underwriters pay to us and the selling stockholders for the shares.

 
  No Exercise
  Full Exercise
Per share   $     $  
Total            

        The representatives of the underwriters have advised us that the underwriters propose to offer shares of common stock directly to the public at the public offering price on the cover of this prospectus and to selected dealers, who may include the underwriters, at such offering price less a selling concession not in excess of $                   per share. The underwriters may allow, and the selected dealers may re-allow, a discount from the concession not in excess of $                   per share to other dealers. After the offering, the representatives may change the public offering price and other offering terms.

        We estimate that the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $                  , all of which are payable by us.

102



Over-Allotment Option

        The selling stockholders have granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to an aggregate of            shares at the public offering price less underwriting discounts shown on the cover page of this prospectus. The underwriters may exercise this option at any time, and from time to time, until 30 days after the date of the underwriting agreement. The option may be exercised to cover over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering. To the extent that this option is exercised, each underwriter will be obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase its pro rata portion of these additional shares based on the underwriter's percentage underwriting commitment in the offering as indicated in the preceding table.

Lock-Up Agreements

        We have agreed that, without the prior written consent of Lehman Brothers Inc., we will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or dispose of any common stock or any securities which may be convertible into or exchanged for common stock (other than in connection with this offering and shares issued pursuant to employee benefit plans, qualified stock option plans or other employee compensation plans or pursuant to currently outstanding options, warrants or rights) for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus. All of our executive officers and directors, certain other officers and all current holders of our common stock, have agreed under lock-up agreements not to, without the prior written consent of Lehman Brothers Inc., directly or indirectly, offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any common stock or any securities which may be converted into or exchanged or exercised for any common stock for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus.

Indemnification

        We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.

Offering Price Determination

        Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiation between us and the underwriters. The factors that the representatives will consider in determining the public offering price include:

Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

        The representatives may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions, and penalty bids or purchasers for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the common stock, in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934:

103


        These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

        Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the common stock.

INFRASOURCE SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Period from May 30, 2003 (date of inception) to September 23, 2003
(in thousands, except share amounts)

1.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        Organization:    InfraSource Services, Inc. (formerly Dearborn Holdings Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Dearborn Merger Sub, Inc. (collectively, the "Company") were organized May 30, 2003 as Delaware corporations. In June 2003, OCM/GFI Power Opportunities Fund, L.P. and OCM Principal Opportunities Fund, L.P. (collectively, the "Parent"), both Delaware limited partnerships, each acquired fifty shares of the common stock of the Company at a nominal purchase price. As more-fully described in Note 2, on September 24, 2003 the Company acquired all of the voting interests of InfraSource, Incorporated and subsidiaries (collectively, "InfraSource"), a specialty contractor servicing the utility transmission and distribution infrastructure industry in the United States pursuant to a merger transaction (the "Merger").

        Description of Business:    The Company was organized to invest in businesses operating in the utility transmission and distribution infrastructure industry. The Company's activities for the period May 30 to September 23, 2003 related to those necessary to effectuate the Merger, which occurred on September 24, 2003 (Note 2).

        Principles of Consolidation:    The Company's fiscal year end is December 31. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. There were no intercompany transactions for the period May 30 to September 23, 2003.

        Deferred acquisition costs:    As of September 23, 2003, the Company has incurred $2,079 in professional fees, filing fees and other costs directly related to the Merger, which occurred on September 24, 2003 (Note 2). In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, these costs represent deferred assets as of September 23, 2003. Upon consummation of the Merger, these deferred costs are included in the determination of purchase price consideration in the accounting for the Merger, which will be recorded by the Company in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003.

        Use of Estimates:    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates include those utilized to estimate certain costs incurred in connection with the Merger and related accrued liabilities, which are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in deferred acquisition costs and accrued acquisition costs, respectively, as of September 23, 2003. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.     Subsequent Events

        On September 24, 2003, the Company acquired InfraSource pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 17, 2003. In connection with the Merger, the Company acquired all of the voting interests of InfraSource for total purchase price consideration of approximately $253 million, excluding financing costs, professional fees and liabilities assumed. Pursuant to the Merger, InfraSource entered into a new term loan and revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") providing for term loans of $140 million and additional revolving credit of up to $40 million. In addition, the Company issued a long-term subordinated note payable (the "subordinated note payable") to Exelon Enterprises, LLC ("Exelon"), the former majority owner of InfraSource, for $29 million. The proceeds of the term loans and the subordinated note, together with the issuance of 915,000 shares of Company common stock

F-7


valued at approximately $92 million, were used to finance the redemption of all then-outstanding shares of InfraSource, Inc. common stock. The fair market value of the Company's common stock issued in connection with the Merger was determined based upon an independent valuation.

        The Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants, including requirements for compliance with certain financial liquidity ratios and minimum tangible net worth and earnings levels, and requires annual principal repayments of approximately $1,400, with the remaining outstanding balance due upon maturity on September 30, 2010. The Credit Agreement bears interest at variable rates based upon the prime rate or the Federal funds effective rate, and also requires InfraSource to reduce variable interest rate risk through an interest rate swap contract covering approximately 50% of the term loan balance. As of September 24, 2003, immediately subsequent to the Merger, InfraSource was in compliance with all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement.

        The subordinated note payable matures on September 30, 2011, and is subject to a fixed interest rate of 4% through September 24, 2008, increasing to 6% from September 25, 2008 through maturity, if the Company pays interest costs in cash. The Company has the option to pay such interest expenses in kind throughout the term of the subordinated note payable. Should the Company elect to pay interest expense in kind, the applicable fixed interest rates are 6% through September 24, 2008, increasing to 8% from September 25, 2008 through maturity. The subordinated note payable does not require principal repayments prior to maturity; however, the subordinated note payable requires accelerated principal repayment upon the occurrence of certain events, including completion of an initial public offering by the Company. Due to its terms, the subordinated note payable will be recorded by the Company at a discounted amount, reflective of estimated fair market value based upon applicable market rates for similar securities, with the related note discount amortized as an adjustment to the Company's interest expense throughout the term of the subordinated note payable. The Company currently estimates the note discount at inception at approximately $15,324, resulting in an initial carrying value of $13,676, net of discount, for the subordinated note payable upon consummation of the Merger.

        The accounting related to the Merger will be recorded in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003. As a result of the Merger, the Company also incurred approximately $8 million in related expenses on a pretax basis, including approximately $6 million of debt issuance costs which will be amortized over the lives of the respective debt instruments, and approximately $2 million in professional fees and filing costs. Preliminary goodwill recorded in connection with the Merger, which is subject to future adjustment based upon the outcome of certain estimates and contingencies, including the valuation of certain fixed and intangible assets acquired and the finalization of purchase price contingencies, totaled approximately $63 million. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based upon the determination of adjusted working capital as of September 23, 2003, as defined in the Merger Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, this contingent purchase price adjustment could ultimately result in additional amounts due either to the Company or to Exelon. The Company currently estimates that this adjustment will result in a purchase price decrease of approximately $11 million. This contingency is expected to be resolved during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004.

        The preliminary aggregate purchase price for InfraSource is as follows:

Cash paid to Exelon and minority shareholders   $ 223,750
Estimated fair market value of subordinated note payable issued to Exelon, net of discount of $15,324     13,676
Financing costs     6,017
Professional fees and other transaction costs     2,079
Liabilities assumed:      
  Accounts payable     15,243
  Accrued compensation and benefits     26,769
  Accrued liabilities     34,638
  Billings in excess of costs     9,680
  Deferred revenues     25,367
  Other liabilities     8,729
   
    Total purchase price consideration   $ 365,948
   

        The purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the InfraSource acquisition were initially allocated as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents   $ 15,889
Contract receivables, net     77,302
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings     43,464
Other current assets     29,018
Property and equipment     127,519
Other non-current assets     29,509
Goodwill     62,917
   
  Total assets acquired   $ 365,948
   

        In January 2004, the Company changed its legal name to InfraSource Services, Inc.

        On January 27, 2004, the Company acquired a complementary infrastructure services business for total purchase price consideration of approximately $61 million, inclusive of certain indebtedness repaid by the Company and excluding liabilities assumed. In connection with this acquisition, the Company paid approximately $34 million in cash, including repayment of existing indebtedness of the acquired business. In addition, the Company issued 199,004 shares of common stock to the former owners of the acquired business, which were valued at approximately $20 million, subject to an independent valuation to be obtained by the Company. The acquisition was financed primarily with the proceeds from the issuance of approximately $27 million of common stock to the Parent. Approximately $11 million of the purchase price is deferred and is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions included in the purchase agreement, including certain financial performance conditions. Of this contingent amount, approximately $6 million is reflected in the initial purchase price determination, as this amount is considered presently determinable. These amounts, subject to resolution of these contingencies, are expected to be paid to the former owners within two years of the acquisition date, in cash or in common stock, in accordance with the acquisition agreement.

        Basis of Presentation:    The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of InfraSource Incorporated and each of its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2001 and 2002, and September 23, 2003 (unaudited), and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and the periods January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002 (unaudited) and January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 (unaudited). InfraSource Incorporated and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "InfraSource Group") were acquired by InfraSource Services, Inc. (formerly known as Dearborn Holdings Corporation, "Holdings") in a merger transaction (the "Merger") consummated on September 24, 2003 (see Note 18—Subsequent Events). The InfraSource Group is reflected as continuing operations in these consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries of InfraSource Incorporated which were not acquired in the Merger (the "Non-Acquired Group") were distributed to the Company's parent, Exelon Enterprises Company LLC ("Enterprises"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon Corporation (collectively, "Exelon", or the "Parent") prior to the Merger. These subsidiaries are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements, for all periods presented (see Note 2).

        The InfraSource Group comprises InfraSource Incorporated and the following InfraSource Incorporated subsidiaries, which are reflected in these consolidated financial statements as continuing operations (see Note 3 for discussion of subsidiaries acquired during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively):

        The Non-Acquired Group comprises the following InfraSource Incorporated subsidiaries, which are reflected in these consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations:

maintains group insurance and certain employee benefit plans, including a stock option plan (see Note 15) and a medical plan in which these subsidiaries participate, with related plan costs charged to Company subsidiaries. InfraSource Incorporated is issuer of InfraSource Incorporated common stock, redeemable common stock (see Note 12) and preferred stock (see Note 14), each of which are included in the accounts of the InfraSource Group in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to the Merger (Note 18), all outstanding common and preferred stock were redeemed, and all outstanding common stock options were canceled for nominal consideration.

        Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Information:    The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the interim periods January 1, 2002 through September 20, 2002 and January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, respectively, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included herein and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The data disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for such interim periods is also unaudited.

        Organization:    The Company (formerly named Exelon Infrastructure Services, Inc.) was organized June 8, 1999 as a Delaware corporation and as a subsidiary of PECO Energy Company ("PECO"). In June 1999, PECO acquired one share of the common stock of the Company at a nominal purchase price.

        On October 20, 2000, Exelon became the parent corporation of InfraSource as a result of the completion of the transactions contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Exchange and Merger, as amended, among PECO, Unicom Corporation and Exelon. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, with PECO as the acquiring company. In connection with this merger, a restructuring was effected January 1, 2001 as a result of which the Company became a subsidiary of Enterprises. Immediately prior to the Merger (Note 18), Enterprises owned approximately 97% of outstanding Company stock. The remaining outstanding common stock prior to the Merger was held by Company management and employees. All amounts due to Exelon, Enterprises, PECO or other affiliated companies in the accompanying financial statements are classified as due to/(from) affiliates (Note 11). Trade receivables due from Exelon and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business are included in contract receivables due from affiliates in the accompanying balance sheets (Note 11).

        Description of Business:    The Company operates in one reportable segment as a specialty contractor. The Company is a specialty contractor servicing the utility transmission and distribution infrastructure in the United States. Our broad range of services includes the design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing, maintenance and leasing of utility infrastructure. Our customers primarily include electric power utilities, natural gas utilities, government entities and heavy industrial companies, such as petrochemical, processing and refining businesses. Each of these services is provided by various Company subsidiaries, which provide management with monthly financial statements. All of the Company's subsidiaries have been aggregated into one reportable segment due to their similar customer bases, products and production methods, and distribution methods.

F-18



        The Company operates in multiple service territories throughout the United States and does not have significant operations or assets in countries outside of the United States.

        Principles of Consolidation:    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (see "Basis of Presentation").

        Interim periods:    The Company's unaudited interim periods for fiscal 2002 and 2003 ended on September 20, 2002 and September 23, 2003, respectively.

        Use of Estimates:    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include those utilized to determine revenues and profit on long-term construction contracts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Revenue Recognition:    Revenues from services provided to customers are generally reported as earned and are generally recognized when the services are performed. Unbilled revenues represent amounts earned and recognized in the period for which billings are issued in a subsequent period and are included in contract receivables.

        Revenues from fixed price contracts are typically recorded on a percentage-of-completion basis, using the cost-to-cost method based on the percentage of total costs incurred to date in proportion to total estimated costs to complete the contract. Changes in job performance, job conditions and final contract settlements, among others, are factors that influence the assessment of the total estimated costs to complete these contracts. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

        Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Costs of installation or manufacturing include all direct material and labor costs and indirect costs related to the manufacturing process, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

        Revenues from master service agreements ("MSA"s) and maintenance contracts are generally based on unit prices and are recognized as the units are completed ("units of production" method). Revenues earned on short-term projects and under contracts providing for substantial performance of services are generally recorded under the completed contract method. Revenues earned pursuant to fiber-optic facility licensing agreements, including initial fees are recognized ratably over the expected length of the agreements.

F-19



        In accordance with industry practice, the classification of construction contract-related current assets and current liabilities are based on the Company's contract performance cycle, which may exceed one year. Accordingly, retainage receivables, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, estimated losses on uncompleted contracts, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, which are classified as current, will include certain amounts which may not be collected or liquidated within one year. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings primarily relates to revenues for completed but unbilled units under unit based contracts, as well as unbilled revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method for non-unit based contracts. For those contracts in which billings exceed contract revenues recognized to date, such excesses are included in the caption billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents:    Cash and cash equivalents include instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

        Inventories:    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, as determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consist primarily of materials and supplies used in operations.

        Other Current Assets:    Other current assets comprise prepaid insurance, prepaid taxes and prepaid expenses. These costs are expensed ratably over the related periods of benefit.

        Property and Equipment:    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is generally provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which principally range from three to seven years for furniture, vehicles, machinery and equipment and 30 to 40 years for buildings. For certain assets, the Company utilizes other methods of depreciation, including accelerated and units of production methods, as these methods more accurately reflect related cost recovery related to these assets. For small tools used in the completion of services, depreciation is based on the composite group remaining life method of depreciation, with straight-line composite rates determined on the basis of equal life groups for certain categories of tools acquired in a given period. Under this method, normal asset retirements, net of salvage value, are charged to accumulated depreciation. Assets under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the asset's estimated useful life. Major modifications which extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized and amortized over the adjusted remaining useful life of the assets. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed and any resultant gains or losses are recognized in current operations.

        Goodwill and Intangible Assets:    Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations accounted for under the purchase method are recorded at their respective fair values. Deferred taxes have been recorded to the extent of the difference between the fair value and the tax basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the stock acquisitions. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, including the recognition of applicable deferred taxes, consists of non-compete agreements and goodwill and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to 20 years. Effective

F-20



January 1, 2002, pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), goodwill recorded is no longer subject to amortization (see "New Accounting Pronouncements"). Upon implementation of SFAS No. 142, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $204,100 (see Note 4) in 2002.

        Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:    The Company accounts for impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. No such impairment has been recorded as of December 31, 2001 and 2002. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company performs a test for potential impairment of recorded goodwill, annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill impairment may exist (see "New Accounting Pronouncements").

        Income Taxes:    The Company accounts for income taxes using the provision of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). Deferred income taxes are provided at the currently enacted income tax rates for the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and carryforward items. The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of Exelon (see Organization) for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003.

        Comprehensive Income (Loss):    Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive income (loss) related to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax effect, is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2000. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, there were no changes in other comprehensive income. During the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, the Company recognized an expense of $75 associated with this foreign currency translation adjustment, due to non-recoverability from foreign operations. This expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003.

        Stock Option Plan:    In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"). This standard amends the transition and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). Effective January 1, 2003, the Company, as required, adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 148. As permitted by SFAS No. 148, the Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with Accounting Principles Board of Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under APB 25, the Company recognizes no compensation expense related to employee stock options, as no options are granted at a price below the market price on the day of the grant. The Company currently does not intend to transition to the use of a fair value method for accounting for stock-based compensation, and as more-fully described in Notes 15 and 18, all of the

F-21



Company's outstanding common stock options were cancelled for nominal consideration as of September 18, 2003, in anticipation of the Merger. No stock options were outstanding as of September 23, 2003.

        The Company granted no stock options during the year ended December 31, 2002 or during the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003. The Company granted a total of 384,705 stock options during the year ended December 31, 2001 (Note 15). Had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation, it would have recognized estimated compensation expense of $2,764 for the year ended December 31, 2001, attributable to options granted during fiscal 2000. As no options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2002 and the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, no compensation expense would have been recognized during these periods had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2001 was estimated as $7.18 per stock option granted. The fair value of each option grant at grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

        The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation granted in fiscal 2001:

        The following weighted average assumptions were used for grants during the year ended December 31, 2000:

Risk-free interest rate   5.52 %
Expected life (in years)   10  
Expected volatility   35.0 %
Expected dividend yield   0 %

        Derivatives:    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS No. 133") to establish accounting and reporting standards for derivatives. The standard requires recognizing all

F-22



derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at their fair value and specifies the accounting for changes in fair value depending upon the intended use of the derivative. SFAS No. 133, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of 2001. As of September 23, 2003, the Company did not hold any derivative instruments or engage in any hedging activities.

        Earnings Per Share:    Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share includes only the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average number of common shares and the dilutive effect of stock options and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, when such instruments are dilutive. The Company has excluded the effects of outstanding stock options for all periods presented, as the inclusion of these stock options in determining diluted earnings per share would be anti-dilutive (see Note 15). The Company had no other potentially-dilutive securities outstanding during any of the periods presented.

        Multi-employer Benefit Plans:    Certain of the Company's subsidiaries utilize unionized labor in certain geographies, and as such are required to make contractor contributions to the multi-employer retirement plans of certain unions. Were the Company to cease participation in these unions, a liability could potentially be assessed related to any underfunding of these plans. The amount of any such assessment, were such an assessment to be made, is not subject to reasonable estimation. However, the Company has never received any such assessments, and does not consider future assessments to be likely.

        New Accounting Pronouncements:    In 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2002" ("SFAS No. 145"). During 2002, the FASB also issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146) and SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("SFAS No.148") and Financial Interpretation No. (FIN) 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). During 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 149"), FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"), and SFAS 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS No. 150"). Each of these pronouncements is more-fully described below.

        In April, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.145. SFAS No. 145 rescinds both FASB Statement No. 4 ("SFAS 4"), Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and the amendment to SFAS 4, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. SFAS No.145 is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The initial adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

F-23


        In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146. FAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for under EITF 94-3. The provision of this Statement are effective for disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The requirements of this will be reflected in any exit or disposal initiatives after its effective date. The initial adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, which amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. The amendments set forth in SFAS 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with a few exceptions) and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The initial adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, which establishes standards on how an issuer classified and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both debt and equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered or modified after May 31, 2003 and is effective for all other financial instruments as of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position as of September 30, 2003.

        In November 2002, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. (FIN) 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. This Interpretation provides the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in annual financial statements about obligations under certain guarantees. The Interpretation also clarified that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation. The initial recognition and measurement requirements are effective prospectively for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. However, the disclosure requirements of the interpretation are effective for December 31, 2002. As of September 23, 2003, the Company has provided no formal guarantees other than guarantees of the Company's own performance with respect to certain operating contracts. Pursuant to a joint venture construction agreement in effect at September 23, 2003, a Non-Acquired Group (discontinued operations) entity has indemnified its joint venture partner against any operating losses related to the construction project (Note 2). The initial adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. (FIN) 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, that addresses conditions when an entity should be consolidated based upon variable interests rather than voting interests. Variable interests are ownership interests or contractual relationships that enable the holder to share in the financial risks and rewards resulting from the activities of a Variable Interest Entity (VIE). A VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other

F-24



legal structure used for business purposes that either does not have equity investors with voting rights or has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. In order to apply FIN 46, InfraSource must evaluate every entity with which it is involved through variable interests to determine whether the entity is a VIE and, if it is, whether or not InfraSource is the primary beneficiary of the entity. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that receives the majority of the entity's expected losses, residual returns, or both. As a result, FIN 46 could result in consolidation of an entity that InfraSource is associated with other than by (and even in the absence of) a voting ownership interest. This interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

        Warranty Costs:    For certain contracts, the Company warrants labor for new installations and construction and servicing of existing infrastructure. An accrual for warranty costs is recorded based upon management's estimate of future costs.

        Collective Bargaining Agreements:    Certain of the subsidiaries are party to various collective bargaining agreements with certain of their employees. The agreements require such subsidiaries to pay specified wages and provide for certain benefits to their union employees. These agreements expire at various times.

        Self-Insurance:    The Company is insured for workers' compensation, employer's liability, auto liability and general liability claims, subject to stop loss of $250 for 2000 and 2001 and $500 for 2002 and 2003 per accident or occurrence. Losses up to the stop loss amounts are accrued based upon the Company's estimates of the ultimate liability for claims incurred and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The accruals are based upon known facts and historical trends and management believes such accruals to be adequate. At December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and September 23, 2003, the amounts accrued for self-insured claims by the InfraSource Group were $3,349, $8,451, $11,160 and $19,186 respectively. During the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, the InfraSource Group recorded an increase of $8,585 to its estimated claims liability related to periods 2002 and prior, based upon changes in actuarial estimates related to incurred claims losses for these periods.

        Reclassifications:    Certain amounts in the accompanying statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

2. Discontinued Operations

        The remaining assets and liabilities of the Non-Acquired Group subsidiaries were not included in the consolidated balance sheets, as they were distributed to Exelon immediately prior to the Merger. Therefore the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of these subsidiaries are presented as discontinued operations through September 23, 2003, with all prior periods reclassified in accordance

F-25



with this presentation. Prior period results include results from the dates of acquisition by the Company of subsidiaries included in the Non-Acquired Group.

        Accounting Policies of Discontinued Operations:    The accounting policies of the Non-Acquired Group (discontinued operations) are generally the same as those for the Company as a whole (see Note 1).

        Investments in joint ventures, which exist solely for the Non-Acquired Group, are predominantly accounted for by the equity method. In addition, an investment in a joint venture through a Non-Acquired Group (discontinued operations) entity is accounted for by the proportionate accounting method, with the Non-Acquired Group's proportionate share of construction joint-venture revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit (loss) is included within discontinued operations, net of tax effects. Pursuant to a joint venture construction agreement in effect at September 23, 2003, a Non-Acquired Group (discontinued operations) entity has indemnified its joint venture partner against any operating losses related to the construction project.

        The Non-Acquired Group incurred interest expense of $526, $1,056, $1,852 and $1,108 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, respectively, in connection with borrowings from the Company's cash pooling system (Note 11). Interest expense charged to Non-Acquired Group entities was based upon average outstanding borrowings for these periods.

        At the date of its purchase in fiscal 2000, one of the Non-Acquired Group entities had 11 affirmative claims against third parties related to completed projects, and was the subject of 11 unrelated claims against it by third parties. These claims were recorded at their estimated fair value at the acquisition date of this subsidiary, and remaining claim amounts are included in contracts receivable of the Non-Acquired Group. The Company and the former owners of this purchased subsidiary entered into an agreement related to the realization of these assets by the Company. Proceeds derived from the total assets acquired of this subsidiary in excess of $10,100 are to be refunded to the previous owners. At December 31, 2002, and at September 23, 2003, there are five remaining affirmative claims against third parties and two remaining defensive claims against the Company by third parties. Recorded net claims receivable assets of $6,981, included in current assets-discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002, reflect the collection of amounts in connection with settled affirmative claims, payments made on defensive claims and revaluation of estimated amounts to be collected with respect to affirmative claims. The Company does not expect that ultimate settlement of remaining claims will result in net proceeds in excess of the recorded amount, and therefore no liability to the previous owners has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002. The Non-Acquired Group recorded no additional revaluation adjustments for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003.

        Dispositions:    During fiscal 2003, prior to the Merger, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of two Non-Acquired Group entities, to separate unaffiliated purchasers. As more-fully described in Note 18, the remaining assets and liabilities of all Non-Acquired Group subsidiaries were distributed to Exelon in September 2003, immediately prior to the Merger. Additional information with respect to the sale transactions is provided below.

F-27



        On May 1, 2003, the Company consummated the sale of substantially all of the assets of Syracuse Merit Electric, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary and provider of electrical construction services, to an unaffiliated purchaser. The Company received aggregate cash consideration of $1,800, in addition to the assumption of certain facility leases and other liabilities by the purchaser, and recorded a loss upon sale of approximately $370, which is included in discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003. The sale agreement requires additional purchase price adjustments if specific financial targets related to completion of existing contracts are met. Additional contingent payment adjustments in connection with this sale have not been included in the initial determination of loss on sale since the certainty of such contingent consideration, if any, was not determinable as of September 23, 2003. The Company's rights and obligations pursuant to this sale agreement, including those related to potential contingent purchase price adjustments, were transferred to Exelon immediately prior to the Merger.

        On June 25, 2003, the Company consummated the sale of substantially all of the assets of VSI Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary and provider of metering services, to an unaffiliated purchaser. The Company received aggregate cash consideration of $829, in addition to the assumption of certain automotive and facility leases and other liabilities by the purchaser, and recorded a loss upon sale of approximately $452, which is included in discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003. The sale agreement requires additional purchase price adjustments if specific financial targets related to profitability of certain contracts are met over a three-year period subsequent to the sale date. Additional contingent payment adjustments in connection with this sale have not been included in the initial determination of loss on sale since the certainty of such contingent consideration, if any, was not determinable as of September 23, 2003. The Company's rights and obligations pursuant to this sale agreement, including those related to potential contingent purchase price adjustments, were transferred to Exelon immediately prior to the Merger.

3. Acquisitions

        During 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of two complementary infrastructure service businesses, Blair Park Services, Inc. and Sunesys, Inc. (collectively, "Blair Park"), in exchange for net purchase price compensation of $31,596. These businesses were under common ownership at the date of acquisition. The Company purchased substantially all of the net assets and all of the voting interests of Blair Park and recorded the transaction using the purchase method of accounting. Blair Park is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) beginning January 31, 2001, the acquisition date.

        During 2000, the Company completed the acquisitions of four complementary infrastructure service businesses which are included in the InfraSource Group (the "2000 Acquisitions") in exchange for aggregate net purchase price compensation of $224,198. The Company purchased substantially all of the net assets of two of these businesses and the outstanding common stock of two businesses, each in transactions recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The Company acquired all of the voting interests of each acquired business. These acquired businesses are reflected in the accompanying

F-28



consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) within continuing operations beginning with the respective dates of acquisition, as follows:

        The Company has certain purchase agreements that require additional purchase price adjustments if specific financial targets and non-financial conditions are met, or if certain working capital or other amounts exceed or fall below specified targets as of the acquisition dates. At December 31, 2001, an aggregate amount of $1,094 remained outstanding related to these obligations. During 2002, this liability was settled for total cash consideration of $500. During the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, the Company recorded a liability for additional contingent purchase price due to the former owners of Blair Park in the amount of $2,369. This amount represents the minimum liability due to the former owners pursuant to the terms of the Blair Park purchase agreement, determined based upon the net present value of contract-related future cash flows for certain fiber-optic facilities acquired. Under this agreement, net present values in excess of specified thresholds accrue in favor of the former owners over the five-year period subsequent to the Blair Park acquisition, while net present values below specified thresholds would result in amounts accrued in favor of the Company. The amount ultimately due to the former owners in fiscal 2006 is subject to future adjustment, based upon annual valuations of these facilities at December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and may ultimately exceed the minimum amount owed as of September 23, 2003. The agreement does not contain a maximum limit related to this contingent purchase price.

        In connection with the acquisition of OSP Consultants, Inc. ("OSP"), the Company entered into an agreement with the former owners of OSP whereby the Company was indemnified against any future losses which may occur at a joint venture acquired as part of the acquisition. The Company has recorded this joint venture at its estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. In December 2001, this joint venture was dissolved resulting in liquidation of the Company's investment in the joint venture. The Company was required to make a capital contribution of $1,472 in connection with the dissolution. All amounts due from former shareholders of OSP in connection with this joint venture were settled during 2002.

F-30


        During 2000, the Company recorded an adjustment to the initial purchase price allocations for MRM, to reflect the fair value of fixed assets acquired. A fixed asset valuation increase of $5,176 was recorded with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. In addition during 2000, MRM purchased the fixed assets of another company for cash of $4,067, which resulted in an addition to goodwill of $181.

        The InfraSource Group amortized intangible assets, consisting of certain non-compete agreements with former owners, on a straight-line basis over the three-year life of these agreements. Prior to the implementation of SFAS No. 142, the InfraSource Group generally amortized goodwill on a straight-line basis over an estimated twenty-year life. SFAS No. 142, which was adopted by the Company as required effective January 1, 2002, establishes new accounting and reporting standards for goodwill and intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill recorded by the Company is no longer subject to amortization. Beginning in 2002, goodwill is subject to an assessment for impairment using a two-step fair value-based test, the first step of which will be performed at least annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances exist which indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is then performed. The second step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill to the fair value of the goodwill. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recorded as a reduction to goodwill and a corresponding charge to operating expense, except upon initial adoption (the transitional test), when the loss is to be reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2002, goodwill totaled $52,350, net of accumulated amortization (see Note 3). This remaining goodwill pertains entirely to the InfraSource Group (continuing operations) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

        The Company completed its transitional test as required under SFAS No. 142 during the first quarter of 2002. Due primarily to a significant economic downturn in the telecommunications industry, including related telecommunications construction services, beginning in late 2000, combined with operating performance below pre-acquisition levels for several acquired businesses, operating profits and cash flows for each of the Company's reporting units were lower than expected in 2000 and 2001. Based on these trends, the Company's earnings and related cash flow forecasts were revised, resulting in a goodwill impairment loss of $204,100, net of related income tax benefit of $81,832, which is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.    The fair values of the Company's reporting units were estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows, incorporating generally accepted valuation techniques. As of December 31, 2001, using the expected value of undiscounted cash flows for the Company's reporting units, no impairments were identified pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 121.

5. Contract and Note Receivables

        Contract receivables for the InfraSource Group consist of the following:

 
  December 31, 2001
  December 31, 2002
  September 23, 2003

    $ 83,070   $ 90,751   $ 77,302
   
 
 

        During 2001, the InfraSource Group reached an agreement with a single customer who experienced financial difficulties whereby all outstanding contract receivables were repaid through a

F-33



combination of cash, issuance of common stock and issuance of a secured note receivable from the customer, requiring equal weekly repayments of $54. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the InfraSource Group subsequently sold the common stock for cash proceeds during December 2001. As of December 31, 2001 the unpaid balance of the customer note receivable was $3,265 (net of a related allowance of $1,736), and is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In March 2002, six months after consummation of a substantial refinancing transaction, the customer defaulted on its debt agreements, including the note receivable due to the InfraSource Group. In May 2002, the customer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. As of December 31, 2002 the unpaid balance of the customer note receivable was $469 (net of a related allowance of $3,880), and is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In July 2003, the InfraSource Group sold the customer note receivable for $1,914 and recorded a gain of $1,445.

        At September 23, 2003, the InfraSource Group has outstanding receivables of $7,533 in connection with an infrastructure project for which certain amounts are currently in dispute. Total outstanding receivables for all projects for this customer amounted to $9,926 at September 23, 2003 (Note 10). The InfraSource Group and its counsel are vigorously seeking collection of all amounts due, and management expects this matter to be resolved in fiscal 2004.

        InfraSource Group depreciation expense, including depreciation of property under capital leases, is $18,826, $28,318, $29,488 and $20,917 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003.

8. Financing Arrangements

        As of December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and September 23, 2003, the Company had no debt outstanding to third parties. The Company has not historically maintained an outside credit facility.

9. Income Taxes

        As described in Note 1, income taxes as reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the income tax accounts and related provision for income taxes for the Company as an independent entity. Income taxes related to the InfraSource Group are reflected in continuing operations. Income taxes relating to the Non-Acquired Group are reflected within discontinued operations, as summarized in Note 2. InfraSource and each of its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of Exelon for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for expected future tax consequences of transactions that are included in the financial statements and tax returns during different reporting periods. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based upon the differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded against a deferred tax asset when it is determined to be more likely than not, that the asset will not be realized.

        As described in Note 1, the implementation of SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002 resulted in a tax benefit of $63,541 related to the InfraSource Group (continuing operations). As the future tax deductions associated with this benefit are principally long term in nature, these benefits are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in non-current deferred tax assets at December 31, 2001 and 2002 and September 23, 2003. The tax benefit related to discontinued operations was $18,291.

        The valuation allowance of $1,921 at December 31, 2001 was recorded due to the possibility of non-utilization of net operating losses in certain states. The valuation allowances of $5,210 and $5,002 recorded at December 31, 2002 and September 23, 2003, respectively, reflect the possibility of non-utilization of additional net operating losses in certain states arising primarily in connection with the loss upon implementation of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Additional valuation allowances of $3,022 had been initially established upon SFAS No. 142 implementation in 2002. These valuation allowances were subsequently reversed during 2002 due to changes in current and anticipated future levels of taxable income and in estimated state income tax apportionment.

F-38


        As of September 23, 2003, the InfraSource Group had an aggregate amount of $2,153 of state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income, which expire at various dates between 2004 and 2023. In connection with the Merger (Note 18), the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities were retained by Exelon pursuant to joint election by the Company and Exelon under section 338(h)(10) of the Federal tax code. Therefore, the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities, including the NOL carryforwards, will be eliminated in the accounting for the Merger during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003.

        The reconciliation of the expected income tax (benefit) expense excluding the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle (computed by applying the federal statutory tax rate to income before taxes) to actual income tax expense for the InfraSource Group is as follows:

10. Concentration of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments which may potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and contract receivables. The Company maintains substantially all of its cash investments with what it believes to be high credit quality financial institutions. Concentration of credit risk with respect to contract receivables is limited due to the diverse nature of work and clients served by the Company. As a policy, the Company does not collateralize its receivables; however, if collectibility becomes questionable, appropriate liens may be filed.

        The InfraSource Group had no customers for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 from whom revenues earned were greater than 10% of total InfraSource Group revenues. For the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, revenues earned from Exelon represented $53,477

F-39


(see Note 11), or approximately 14% of total InfraSource Group revenues, with no other customer representing 10% or more of earned revenues for the period.

        The InfraSource Group had no accounts receivable related to a single customer at December 31, 2001 and 2002, that represented 10% or more of accounts receivable, while one customer represented $9,926, or approximately 13% of accounts receivable at September 23, 2003. At December 31, 2000, another customer had accounts receivable that represented $18,403, or approximately 13% respectively, of total accounts receivable. This customer experienced significant financial difficulties, as more-fully described in Note 5.

11. Related Party Transactions

        On October 6, 1999, the Company entered into a services agreement ("Services Agreement") with Exelon for Exelon to provide certain services to the Company, including contracting for employees, financial and accounting services, payroll services, office and equipment leases and other administrative and support services. The scope of these services was reduced each year of the agreement. This agreement was effective for a period of 12 months commencing in October of each year and was renewable at both parties discretion. The InfraSource Group, through InfraSource Corporate Services, Inc., was charged $8,112, $1,565, $1,291 and $1,156 for these services for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, respectively, including $492, $526, $598 and $0, respectively, for leasing of the Company's corporate headquarters. Pursuant to the Merger (Note 18), this Services Agreement will be terminated.

        As more-fully described in Note 1, the Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of Exelon (see Organization) for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and for the short period Federal tax return for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003. The Company records income tax expense on a separate company basis. Included in accrued taxes due to affiliate in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 23, 2003 are Federal income taxes payable to Exelon from the InfraSource Group totaling approximately $6,384, which amount will be eliminated as a result of the Merger (Note 18).

        The InfraSource Group has several service contracts with Exelon and performs work for various services including utility construction and maintenance, telecommunications services and infrastructure services on an outsourced basis to business and residential customers. Certain operating assets and liabilities of the Non-Acquired Group, including certain operating agreements (the "Operating Agreements") with Exelon, were transferred to the InfraSource Group as of January 1, 2003, with operating results related to the Operating Agreements reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations beginning with the date of transfer. Under the Operating Agreements, the Company performs infrastructure services on an outsourced basis to business and residential customers. Each operating agreement has an annual term commencing on November 1 and ending on December 31 of the following year, which automatically renews each year unless formally terminated by Exelon. The services are charged to Exelon at a rate that is intended to approximate market value. InfraSource Group revenues charged to Exelon for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23,

F-40



2003 under these contracts were $24,991. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, revenues recorded by the Non-Acquired Group pursuant to these contracts were $34,807 and $25,858, respectively. These Operating Agreements remained in place following the Merger (Note 18).

        In addition to the Operating Agreements, revenues for the InfraSource Group related to contracts with Exelon were $3,486, $27,948, $32,725 and $28,486 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, respectively. Accounts receivable related to all revenues due from Exelon were $4,820, $2,050, $5,718 and $7,786 at December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, and at September 23, 2003,respectively, and are recorded in contract receivables due from affiliates, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

        In connection with the acquisition of OSP, the Company entered into indemnification agreements related to certain pre-acquisition liabilities. As of December 31, 2001 the Company had a receivable due from shareholders of $1,657 related to these indemnified items. These amounts were fully settled during 2002, in connection with a purchase price settlement with the former owners of OSP.

        All Company subsidiaries participate in a centralized cash pooling system, whereby the Company's subsidiaries lend funds to or borrow funds from the Company in an amount equivalent to their end of day bank account balance. Excess funds in the cash pooling account are automatically swept into an overnight investment account. When the cash pool cannot cover total company cash requirements, funds are borrowed from Exelon. Interest expense for the InfraSource Group related to these borrowings was $2,071, $1,896, $388 and $27 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, and the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, respectively. The Company earns interest on the funds invested in the overnight investment account and pays interest on amounts borrowed from Exelon, if any. Interest income earned by the InfraSource Group through the centralized cash pooling system was $344, $186, $1,438 and $1,376 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, respectively.

        The InfraSource Group has historically provided funds available to the Non-Acquired Group through this cash pooling system. As more-fully described in Note 18, substantially all outstanding amounts among InfraSource Incorporated and its acquired and non-acquired subsidiaries were settled in full pursuant to Board of Director-approved capital contributions during fiscal 2003, as the Non-Acquired Group subsidiaries were distributed to Exelon immediately prior to the Merger. Amounts due (to) from the Non-Acquired Group are included in due (to) from affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 23, 2003.

        When the Company commenced operations, Exelon contributed $25,000 to the Company to provide initial working capital for the Company and its subsidiaries and to fund the Company's obligation to pay deferred purchase price obligations. Exelon continued to fund additional working capital to the Company and its subsidiaries through advances. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, advances totaled $27,500, $56,200 and $78,423, respectively. No advances were made to the Company during the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003. There were no advances outstanding due to Exelon at December 31, 2002 and September 23, 2003. The total of advances outstanding due to Exelon at December 31, 2000 and 2001 were $48,423 and $30,000, respectively.

12. Redeemable Common Stock and Treasury Stock

        In connection with the acquisitions described in Note 3, the including acquisitions of Non-Acquired Group subsidiaries, 225,970 and 251,469 shares of redeemable common stock were issued at $12.60 per share in 2001 and 2000 respectively. Also in connection with these acquisitions. 635,002 shares of common stock were issued at $14.00 per share in 2000. Additionally during 2001, the Company issued 11,209 shares at $14.00, 12,125 shares at $12.60, 50,176 shares at $12.00 and 109,060 shares at $11.75 in connection with certain acquisitions because certain specified earnings targets were met or certain specified stock bonuses were paid. All shares were valued at the Company's estimated fair value at the dates of issuance and were subject to agreements that provided certain registration rights with respect to the common stock. Additionally, the Stock Restriction Agreements provided that stockholders had the right to require the Company to purchase, and the Company had the right to require each stockholder to sell, specified percentages of the stockholder's shares, at fair market value, at dates subsequent to August 31, 2003.

        Further, upon termination of employment, the Company has the right to repurchase any or all shares held by employee stockholders. As a result, the carrying value of these shares is adjusted to fair market value at each reporting period, with the corresponding accretion or decretion being recorded as a component of retained earnings. The adjustments of $(4,903), $(14,095) and $7,869 as of December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively, in the fair value of the redeemable common stock relate to the 2,877,463 shares issued during 1999, 2000 and 2001 for acquisitions and adjusted retained earnings at the time of each revaluation of the common stock, performed by an independent valuation expert. The Company's policy is to repurchase outstanding shares of redeemable common stock issued to employees upon termination of employment. Shares of redeemable common stock are repurchased at fair market value as of the redemption date, and are recorded as treasury stock at this value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Shares of treasury stock are not subject to statutory restrictions, and the Company has no stock repurchase commitments other than those pursuant to the Stock Restriction Agreements previously described.

F-42



        During 2002, 374,996 shares of redeemable stock, valued at $1,991 based upon a fair value per share of $5.31, were cancelled in connection with a settlement with former owners of OSP. During 2001 and 2002, the Company repurchased 127,602 and 85,156, respectively, shares of redeemable stock from employees who were terminated for a total fair value of $1,328 and $456.

        During the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, the Company redeemed shares of redeemable stock at a fair value of $9,943. All remaining outstanding redeemable common stock as of September 23, 2003 was subsequently redeemed, and all treasury stock was cancelled in connection with the Merger (Note 18). Activity related to shares of redeemable common stock for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 is as follows:

 
  Shares
Outstanding

 
Balance as of December 31, 2000   2,452,223  
Redeemable common stock issued   425,240  
Repurchased shares from terminated employees   (127,602 )
   
 
Balance as of December 31, 2001   2,749,861  
Shares cancelled in connection with purchase price settlement   (374,996 )
Repurchased shares from terminated employees   (85,156 )

Repurchased shares from terminated employees   (936,700 )
   
 
Balance as of September 23, 2003   1,353,009  
   
 

        Deferred Compensation:    During the period from June 8, 1999 to December 31, 1999, the Company granted 157,600 shares of restricted common stock to certain executives, in conjunction with compensation agreements. There was no trading market for the restricted common stock at the grant dates. For financial statement purposes, a fair value for the common stock was determined by the Board of Directors to be $12.00 per share during the period these shares were granted. Accordingly, the Company has recorded deferred compensation expense in the amount of $1,891 based on the shares granted times the grant price. This amount will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of three years, on a straight-line basis. The shares are subject to the same Stock Restriction Agreements discussed above. During 2001, an additional 16,700 shares were issued at $7.50, the estimated fair value at the date of issuance. The Company recorded deferred compensation expense in the amount of $125. In December 2001, one of the executives resigned. Based on the terms of the termination agreement, the remaining shares granted to the executive were immediately vested. Therefore, the Company recorded additional compensation expense of $118 related to these shares. At December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, the unamortized portion of deferred compensation is $1,129, $250 and $59, respectively. At September 23, 2003 all deferred compensation has been fully amortized. Compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002 and the

F-43



period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 under this plan was $631, $253, $191 and $59, respectively.

13. Common Stock

        At inception, the Board of Directors authorized 150,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.0001 per share. Common shares outstanding as of September 23, 2003 were redeemed in connection with the subsequent Merger, as more fully discussed in Note 18.

14. Preferred Stock

        At inception, the Board of Directors authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.0001 per share. No shares were issued through December 31, 2002. On September 23, 2003 in anticipation of the Merger (Note 18), the Company issued one share of preferred stock to Exelon for $4,100. In connection with the Merger, on September 24, 2003 Exelon exchanged this share of preferred stock, along with other consideration included in the Merger Agreement including certain indemnifications provided by Exelon along with a volume agreement (Note 18) for a $29 million subordinated note issued by Holdings.

15. Benefit Plans

        The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have union affiliations. Certain field employees are members of local unions. Wages and benefits paid to these employees are established by negotiated contracts.

        Retirement Plans:    The Company has a defined contribution plan benefiting all subsidiaries, qualifying under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, for the majority of all office and supervisory employees. During 2002, all subsidiaries transferred to this plan. The plan allows eligible employees to contribute up to 15% of the pre-tax base compensation. Matching contributions made by the Company are 50% of pre-tax contribution up to 6% of the employees' annual compensation. Additionally, some of the subsidiaries maintain profit sharing plans for certain employees. The InfraSource Group's expense related to its defined contribution and profit sharing plans for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002 and for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003 was $1,456, $1,033, $1,844 and $1,711, respectively. The Company and its subsidiaries also provide for payments made to various retirement plans for construction employees under the terms of union agreements and for other benefits of former employees.

        Prior to joining the Company's defined contribution plan in 2002, certain of the Company's subsidiaries maintained defined contribution plans, qualifying under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, for substantially all office and supervisory employees. The plans allowed eligible employees to contribute up to 15% of the pre-tax base compensation. The matching contribution depended on the plan and ranged from discretionary to 50% of pre-tax contribution up to 4% of the employees' annual salary. The Company's expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 was $380 and $829, respectively.

        Stock Option Plan:    The Company's Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") was adopted in 1999 to allow the grant of stock options and other cash or stock awards or rights to designated key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards under the LTIP may be grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares, phantom stock and dividend equivalents. At any time, the number of shares outstanding under the LTIP cannot exceed 16,000,000 shares of common stock.

        Under the terms of the company's incentive stock option plans, officers and certain other key employees may be granted options to purchase the company's common stock at no less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of the grant. The options generally vest over 3 years and have a maximum term of 10 years. Under certain terms of the option agreement and subsequent to October 2002, the option holder has the right to put the exercised shares back to the Company at fair market value. Accordingly, there was no compensation expense recorded at the date of the grant. No options had been exercised at September 23, 2003.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings and claims. The Company has accrued in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets the estimated costs associated with these legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

        The Company is obligated under capital leases for office space and equipment and also rents office space and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases, certain of which contain purchase option terms. Future minimum lease commitments for all non-cancelable leases of the InfraSource Group as of September 23, 2003 are as follows:

 
  Capital

        Rent expense incurred by the InfraSource Group was $2,615, $7,371, $3,996 and $5,733 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 and the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003, respectively. See Note 11 for information regarding leasing transaction with affiliates.

        The InfraSource Group also constructs and leases fiber-optic telecommunications facilities to its customers pursuant to licensing agreements, typically with lease terms from five to twenty-five years, including certain renewal options. Under these agreements, customers lease a portion of the capacity of a fiber-optic facility, with the facility owned and maintained by the InfraSource Group. The book value of fiber-optic facilities of the InfraSource Group is $34,220, net of accumulated depreciation of $2,281 as of September 23, 2003 and is included in property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation,

17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies described below. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein may not be indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

        The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the revolving credit facilities with Exelon and capital lease obligations approximate fair value because they bear interest rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

18. Subsequent Events (Unaudited)

        On September 24, 2003, Holdings, an affiliate of Oaktree Capital Management, LLC and GFI Energy Ventures, LLC, acquired the InfraSource Group pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 17, 2003. In connection with the Merger, Holdings acquired all of the voting interests of the InfraSource Group for total purchase price consideration of approximately $253 million. Pursuant to the Merger, the InfraSource Group entered into the Credit Facility (Note 8) providing for term loans of $140 million and additional revolving credit of up to $40 million. In addition, the InfraSource Group issued a long-term subordinated note payable to Enterprises for $29 million, which was increased to $30 million in December 2003 upon completion of the acquisition by Holdings of an additional entity from Exelon. The proceeds of the term loans and the subordinated note, together with the purchase of approximately $92 million of newly issued Holdings common stock, were used to finance the redemption of all then-outstanding shares of InfraSource Incorporated common stock. The Credit

F-47


Facility contains customary financial covenants, including requirements for compliance with certain financial liquidity ratios and minimum tangible net worth and earnings levels. The Credit Agreement also requires the InfraSource Group to reduce variable interest rate risk through an interest rate swap contract covering approximately 50% of the term loan balance. As of September 24, 2003, immediately subsequent to the Merger, the InfraSource Group was in compliance with all terms and conditions of the credit Agreement.

        The accounting related to the Merger will be recorded in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003. As a result of the Merger, Holdings also incurred approximately $8 million in related expenses on a pretax basis, including approximately $6 million of debt issuance costs which will be amortized over the lives of the respective debt instruments, and approximately $2 million in professional fees and filing costs. Preliminary goodwill recorded in connection with the Merger, which is subject to future adjustment based upon the outcome of certain estimates and contingencies, including the valuation of certain fixed and intangible assets acquired and the finalization of purchase price contingencies, totaled approximately $67 million. Prior to consummation of the Merger, the InfraSource Group incurred approximately $16 million of expenses related to the Merger, including approximately $10 million of employee retention, severance and incentive costs, and approximately $6 million of advisory fees, legal, accounting and other professional costs. These amounts are separately reflected in the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003.

        Also in connection with the Merger, the InfraSource Group entered into a volume agreement with Exelon, pursuant to which we are assured a continuing level of business from Exelon through 2006, at approximately the same levels as in 2003.

        In addition, benefit plans generally continued for the employees of the InfraSource Group after the Merger.

        On January 27, 2004, the Company acquired a complementary infrastructure services business for total purchase price consideration of approximately $61 million, inclusive of certain indebtedness repaid by the Company and excluding liabilities assumed. In connection with this acquisition, the Company paid approximately $34 million in cash, including repayment of existing indebtedness of the acquired business. In addition, Holdings issued 199,004 shares of common stock to the former owners of the acquired business, which were valued at approximately $20 million, subject to an independent valuation to be obtained by the Company. The acquisition was financed primarily with the proceeds from the issuance of approximately $27 million of Holdings common stock. Approximately $11 million of the purchase price is deferred and is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions included in the purchase agreement, including certain financial performance conditions. Of this contingent amount, approximately $6 million is reflected in the initial purchase price determination, as this amount is considered presently determinable. These amounts, subject to resolution of these contingencies, are

expected to be paid to the former owners within two years of the acquisition date, in cash or in common stock, in accordance with the acquisition agreement.

        The preliminary aggregate purchase price for this business acquisition is as follows:

Cash paid to sellers   $ 23,251
Common stock issued to sellers     19,901
Transaction costs     600
Repayment of long-term debt     10,293
Note payable to seller assumed     1,000
Liability to sellers for cash holdback of purchase price     1,100
Liability to a selling shareholder for replacement of a time deposit     5,000
Liabilities assumed:      
  Accounts payable     7,399
  Accrued liabilities     2,263
  Billings in excess of costs     2,475
  Current income taxes payable     3,536
   
    Total purchase price consideration   $ 76,818
   

        The preliminary allocation of purchase price consideration to assets acquired is as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents   $ 5,271
Contract receivables, net     12,638
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings     71
Other current assets     606
Property and equipment     5,839
Deposits     5,319
Deferred income tax assets, net     5,477
Goodwill     41,597
   
  Total assets acquired   $ 76,818
   

        In January 2004, a judgment was issued against the Company, as defendant in a litigation matter, in the amount of $3,785. The judgment upheld allegations by the plaintiff related to a proposed 1999 business acquisition which was never consummated. The Company intends to appeal this judgment. However, due to the existence of the judgment and the uncertainty of a successful appeal, the Company considers ultimate payment of this judgment probable, and has recorded the judgment amount as other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the period January 1, 2003 through September 23, 2003. The related liability is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited balance sheet as of September 23, 2003. The timing of ultimate resolution for this matter, including the Company's expected appeal motions, is not presently determinable.

Maslonka & Associates, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Information as of September 30, 2003 and
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is unaudited)

1.     Nature of Business

        Maslonka & Associates, Inc., (the "Company") is an Arizona corporation organized in 1994 that conducts its business throughout the United States. The Company is a service provider to the power and communications infrastructure industries. All of the Company's revenues are generated from construction, maintenance and consulting contracts.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

        Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim Financial Information

        The interim financial information as of September 30, 2003 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is unaudited but has been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements and includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at such date and its results of operations and cash flows for that period. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

        The Company accounts for its investments using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS No. 115"). This standard requires that certain debt and equity securities be adjusted to market value at the end of each accounting period. Unrealized market value gains and losses are charged to earnings if securities are traded for short-term profit. Otherwise, such unrealized gains and losses are charged to a separate component of stockholders' equity.

        Management determines the proper classifications of investments in obligations with fixed maturities and marketable equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designations at each balance sheet date. At December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003, all securities were designated as available for sale. Accordingly, these securities are stated at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of related taxes, reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on securities available for sale are included in other income (expense) and, when applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment, net of tax, in other comprehensive income. Gains and

F-55



losses on the sale of available for sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Declines in fair value on individual available for sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2002, write-downs of $312,980 are included in earnings as losses for other than temporary impairment of available for sale securities.

Recognition of Revenue and Costs

        Revenues and costs from long-term construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs. This method is used because management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

        Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs, subcontract costs and other indirect job costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, taxes, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.

        The asset, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process, represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on contracts in process, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

        Property and equipment are stated at cost with deprecation computed by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to fifteen years. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are sold or retired, the cost of the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reported in operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, equipment and intangibles, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the asset, and if the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss by reducing the depreciated cost of the long-lived asset to its estimated fair value.

Stock Based Compensation

        The Company measures compensation expense relating to employee stock awards in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and

F-56



related interpretations ("APB No. 25"). The Company measures compensation expense relating to nonemployee stock awards in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123").

        The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, with respect to its stock option plan. Accordingly, since all options are issued with exercise prices greater than or equal to the market price on the grant date, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plan.

        The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2002 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 (unaudited) was $23.28 and $33.77, respectively. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants in 2002: dividend yield of 0 percent, expected volatility of 0 percent, expected life of 5 years and a risk free interest rate of 3.98 percent; and for grants in 2003: dividend yield of 0 percent, expected volatility of 0 percent, expected life of 5 years and a weighted average risk free interest rate of 2.98 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 (unaudited).

        For purposes of proforma disclosures the estimated fair value of stock options is amortized to expense over the vesting period of the options. The proforma information required under SFAS No. 123 for 2002 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is as follows:

 
  2002

Net income—as reported   $ 2,558,164   $ 2,611,227  
Stock compensation expense, net of tax     (44,268 )   (94,164 )
   
 
 
Net income—proforma   $ 2,513,896   $ 2,517,063  
   
 
 

Income Taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS No. 109"), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The difference between the financial statement and tax bases of asset and liabilities is determined annually.

        Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities for those differences that have future tax consequences using the currently enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the years in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred income taxes relate primarily to temporary differences resulting from use of the completed contract method of accounting for construction contracts. Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to adjust the deferred tax assets and liabilities to the amounts that will more likely than not be realized. Provision for income taxes is comprised of the current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Comprehensive Income

        The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS No. 130"). Comprehensive income is comprised of net income (loss)

F-57



and all changes to stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to owners.

Concentration of Credit Risk

        The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times throughout the year, may substantially exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Insurance Coverage

        The Company maintains insurance coverage for certain losses relating to workers' compensation claims, employee medical benefits and general and auto liability claims.

3.     Marketable Securities

        Marketable securities consist of securities available for sale including highly liquid mutual funds and equity securities. The mutual funds consist of investments in equity securities. Investments in such funds are not insured.

        Securities available for sale at December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003 consist of the following:

Upon completion of a major contract the borrowing limit reduces to $3,000,000. At the Company's option, provided that no event of default exists, the Company may extend the scheduled maturity date to December 30, 2004. The revolving line of credit is subject to various restrictive covenants including minimum performance requirements on the Company's major contract. After completion of the major contract the Company must maintain a debt to equity ratio of less than 1.75 to 1.     At September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

        At December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003, outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit total $250,000 and $0, respectively.

        The Company has entered into a letter of credit in the amount of $5,000,000 and is required to maintain cash collateral for the same amount.

Legal Matters

        The Company is a party to litigation related to a fatal automobile accident occurring on December 1, 2002. The cases are pending in a state court in Texas, and are currently in the discovery phase. From time to time the Company is also the subject of other litigation in the ordinary course of business. Any liability under this litigation is expected to be covered in whole or in part by insurance. Although the amount of any liability with respect to such claims and litigation over and above the Company's insurance coverage cannot currently be determined, in the opinion of management such liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

11.   Common and Preferred Stock

        The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of its $1 par value common stock, and 400 shares of its $1,000 par value preferred stock.

        During 2000, the Company sold 400 shares of its $1,000 par value preferred stock ("Preferred") resulting in gross proceeds of $400,000. The holder of the Preferred shall have no voting power, except in the event of failure of the Company to comply with the provisions of the Preferred certificate.

        The Preferred shares, or any portion, shall be redeemable at any time by the Company according to the following formula: year one (2000) $1,150 per share, year two (2001) $1,325 per share, year three (2002) $1,522.50 per share, year four (2003) $1,750 per share, year five (2004) and after at the face amount increased at a compounded annual rate of 18 percent from the date of issuance.

        Commencing on January 1, 2004, and for a period of 120 days thereafter, the holder of the Preferred shares may compel the purchase by the Company of any such Preferred shares then outstanding at the sum of $1,750 per share.

        If during the period beginning on January 1, 2000 and ending on December 31, 2003, the Company or any of its common stockholders enter into negotiations that result in the transfer of over 50 percent of the common stock of the Company, or transfer of substantially all of the operating assets of the Company to an unrelated third party, then as a result of the commencement of such negotiations, the holder shall have the option (but not obligation) to convert each share of Preferred outstanding as of the date negotiations begin into .00025 percent of the then outstanding common shares of the Company as of the date of the conversion. See Note 16 for subsequent events.

        If negotiations commence within a period of 365 days following the redemption of some or all of the Preferred, then the holder of the redeemed Preferred shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase common shares attributable to such redeemed Preferred Stock Shares according to the formula (.00025 percent) above for an amount equal to the redemption proceeds received by the preferred shareholder plus interest measured from the date of redemption through the date of purchase of such common shares computed at the rate of 15 percent per annum.

        In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the holder of the Preferred shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the redemption value of the then outstanding shares determined by the Redemption Value.

        The Preferred certificate requires compliance with certain positive covenants such as maintaining a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of at least 1.25 to 1, net worth of at least $450,000 and certain negative covenants, which prohibit issuance of any other stock which shall have a preference or equality over the Preferred shares, payment of any dividends, loans except in the ordinary course of the Company's business, sale or transfer of stock between current shareholders or others, and various other restrictions.

        In the event of default which remains uncorrected for a period of 30 days, the holder, at the holder's option, may cause the Company to redeem all of the Preferred. In the event the Company does not redeem the Preferred, the holder shall have the right to require the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

F-65



        The Company was in default of certain covenants as of December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003, however, the holder provided waivers for all violations.

12.   Stock Option Plan

        On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan allows for issuance of up to 75,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. At December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003, the Company has 74,682,000 and 74,650,500 shares, respectively, available for future grants. Options granted under the Plan must be granted at the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant and shall automatically terminate on the tenth anniversary of the option grant date. The options vest 12.5 percent quarterly over two years. Options immediately vest if the Company is sold, dissolved, or reorganized at or above certain specified levels based on the date of such event.

        The Company had advances to officers of $661,739 and $765,214 as of December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2003 (unaudited), respectively. Advances to officers are made under the terms and

conditions of various loan agreements and are collateralized by all the officers' common stock and option grants in the Company.

        The Company has renewable yearly agreements to rent properties from the president of the Company for a combined monthly amount of approximately $11,250 per month (at December 31, 2002) and $16,500 per month (at September 30, 2003). The related-party rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $104,315 and $122,250, respectively.

14.   Major Customers

        Due to the nature of the Company's business, it contracts with customers on a nonrecurring basis. The Company's top three customers represent 49.0 percent, 25.2 percent and 17.5 percent of total revenue for fiscal year 2002 and, 97.1 percent, 0 percent and 0 percent, respectively, of contracts receivable at December 31, 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company's top three customers represented 57.6 percent, 31.2 percent and 5.8 percent of total revenue and 57.2 percent, 38.9 percent and 2.0 percent, respectively of contracts receivable at September 30, 2003 (unaudited).

15.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51 ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have one or both of the following characteristics: (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, which is provided through other interests that will absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity, and (ii) the equity investors lack an essential characteristic of a controlling financial interest. FIN 46 is effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2004. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 46 to have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations.

        In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 149"). SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after September 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after September 30, 2003. SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. SFAS 149 amends SFAS 133 for decisions made as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to SFAS 133, in connection with other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments and in connection with implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative. The Company adopted SFAS 149 on July 1, 2003, which did not have an impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Certain Financial Instruments withCharacteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150 established standards for how a company clarifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires a company to classify such instruments as liabilities, whereas they previously may have been classified as equity. SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and other provisions are effective beginning July 1, 2003.

16.   Subsequent Events (Unaudited)

        On January 27, 2004, the Company was acquired by InfraSource Incorporated, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of InfraSource Services, Inc. for total consideration consisting of $29.9 million in cash, 199,004 shares of common of InfraSource Services, Inc. and the assumption of certain of the Company's liabilities.

        In December 2003, the Company entered into various agreements resulting in a modification to its capital structure, including the following:

        On December 12, 2003, the Company paid all amounts outstanding under its $5,000,000 secured loan agreement with an investment group. To facilitate this repayment, the Company borrowed $3,100,000 on its line of credit facility.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to InfraSource Services, Inc. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

        Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

        Article Sixth of InfraSource Services, Inc.'s certificate of incorporation provides that a director of InfraSource Services, Inc. shall not be liable to InfraSource Services, Inc. or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, Article Seventh of InfraSource Services, Inc.'s certificate of incorporation provides that InfraSource Services shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including the right to be paid by InfraSource Services, Inc. the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition.

II-1



        Prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. The indemnification agreements provide indemnification to our directors and officers under certain circumstances for acts or omissions which may not be covered by directors' and officers' liability insurance, and may, in some cases, be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Delaware law. We have also obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance, which insures against liabilities that our directors or officers may incur in such capacities.
