SJW CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2014
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.
The unaudited interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in SJW Corp.'s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Water sales are seasonal in nature and influenced by weather conditions. The timing of precipitation and climatic conditions can cause seasonal water consumption by customers to vary significantly. Due to the seasonal nature of the water business, the operating results for interim periods are not indicative of the operating results for a 12-month period. Revenue is generally higher in the warm, dry summer months when water usage and sales are greater, and lower in the winter months when cooler temperatures and increased rainfall curtail water usage and sales. Our service area in California is in the midst of a record drought. In response to this, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. proclaimed a State of Emergency and directed state officials to take necessary actions to prepare for drought conditions.
The Santa Clara Valley Water District (“SCVWD”), San Jose Water Company's water wholesaler, has set a target of a 20% reduction for water use in 2014 in accordance with its adopted water shortage contingency plan and recommended that its retail water and municipal customers implement mandatory measures to meet the target. Effective March 31, 2014, San Jose Water Company received approval from the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) for a Mandatory Conservation Revenue Adjustment Memorandum Account (“MCRAMA”) to track any revenue shortfall and a Mandatory Conservation Memorandum Account (“MCMA”) to track operational and administrative costs associated with the implementation of the 20% conservation goal. San Jose Water Company will record the impact of the MCRAMA and MCMA regulatory accounts once probability of recovery can be determined and collection can be assured within 24 months of the year-end the revenue is recorded. For further discussion, please see Note 11.
Basic earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock including both shares outstanding and shares potentially issuable in connection with stock options, deferred restricted common stock awards under SJW Corp.'s Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Incentive Plan”) and shares potentially issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 680 and 799 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 1,129 and 1,145 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively.
A portion of depreciation expense is allocated to administrative and general expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the amounts allocated to administrative and general expense were $396 and $395, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the amounts allocated to administrative and general expense were $792 and $779, respectively.
SJW Corp. accounts for share-based compensation based on the grant date fair value of the awards issued to employees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 718 - “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on the estimated fair value for all share-based payment awards.
The Incentive Plan allows SJW Corp. to provide employees, non-employee board members or the board of directors of any parent or subsidiary, consultants, and other independent advisors who provide services to the company or any parent or subsidiary the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in SJW Corp. The types of awards included in the Incentive Plan are restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, or other share-based awards. As of June 30, 2014, the remaining shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan were 1,110,805, and 309,516 shares were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, restricted stock units, and deferred restricted stock units. In addition, shares are issued to employees under the ESPP. SJW Corp. also had a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (“DRSPP”) which allowed

eligible participants to buy shares and reinvest cash dividends in SJW Corp. common stock. The DRSPP was terminated effective as of April 14, 2014.
The compensation costs charged to income are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. A summary of compensation costs charged to income, proceeds from the exercise of stock options and similar instruments, and the tax benefit realized from stock options and similar instruments exercised, that were recorded to additional paid-in capital and common stock, by award type, are presented below for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Note 9. | Balancing and Memorandum Account Recovery Procedures |
For California, the CPUC has established a balancing account mechanism for the purpose of tracking the under-collection or over-collection associated with expense changes and the revenue authorized by the CPUC to offset those expense changes. San Jose Water Company also maintains memorandum accounts to track revenue impacts due to catastrophic events, unforeseen water quality expenses related to new federal and state water quality standards, energy efficiency, cost of capital, any revenue requirement impact of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, and other approved activities or as directed by the CPUC. As of June 30, 2014, the total balance in San Jose Water Company's balancing and memorandum accounts combined, including interest, was a net under-collection of $9,336.
Balancing and memorandum accounts are recognized in revenue by San Jose Water Company when it is probable that future recovery of previously incurred costs or future refunds that are to be credited to customers will occur through the ratemaking process. In addition, in the case of special revenue programs such as the MCRAMA, collection of the account balance must occur within 24 months of the end of the year the revenue is recorded. In assessing the probability criteria for balancing and memorandum accounts between general rate cases, San Jose Water Company considers evidence that may exist prior to CPUC authorization that would satisfy FASB ASC Topic 980 - “Regulated Operations,” subtopic 340-25 recognition criteria. Such evidence may include regulatory rules and decisions, past practices, and other facts and circumstances that would indicate that recovery or refund is probable. When such evidence provides sufficient support for balance recognition, the balances are recorded in the Company's financial statements.
San Jose Water Company met the recognition requirements for certain of its balancing and memorandum accounts and certain amounts subject to balancing and memorandum accounts and increased revenue and regulatory assets totaling $1,518 and $1,107 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and recorded revenue and regulatory assets totaling $1,674 and $3,559 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. All balancing accounts and memorandum-type accounts not included for recovery or refund in the current general rate case will be reviewed by the CPUC in San Jose Water Company's next general rate case or at the time an individual account reaches a threshold of 2% of authorized revenue, whichever occurs first.

Note 11. | Regulatory Rate Filings |
On January 3, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a general rate case application requesting rate increases of $47,394, or 21.51% in 2013, $12,963, or 4.87% in 2014, and $34,797, or 12.59% in 2015. Parties to the proceeding filed open briefs on July 20, 2012 and reply briefs on August 7, 2012. On September 26, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a motion for interim rate relief so that if a decision was not reached by the end of 2012, San Jose Water Company would be allowed to adopt interim rates, effective January 1, 2013, until a decision is adopted. To date, a final decision has not been adopted and interim rates are currently in effect. Interim rates were set equal to fiscal year-end 2012 rates. Differences between interim rates and approved rates are tracked in a memorandum account and will be submitted for recovery or refund. On July 11, 2014, the CPUC issued a proposed decision in this application. The proposed decision recommends rate increases of $22,063, or 9.79% in 2013, $11,579, or 4.72% in 2014 and $15,356, or 6.02% in 2015. A proposed decision is only a recommendation from the assigned Administrative Law Judge and is not necessarily indicative of what will be adopted in the final decision. San Jose Water Company is currently reviewing the proposed decision and comments were due July 31, 2014. The earliest the proposed decision can be voted on by the CPUC is August 14, 2014. A final decision on this application is expected in the third quarter of 2014.
On February 28, 2014, San Jose Water Company submitted Advice Letter No. 456. In this advice letter, San Jose Water Company notified the CPUC that San Jose Water Company was implementing conservation Tariff Rule 14.1. The CPUC's Rule 14.1 provides voluntary conservation measures for customers, focusing primarily on outdoor water use which accounts for 50% of a typical customer's water usage. In addition, San Jose Water Company requested the implementation of a MCMA to track all operational and administrative costs associated with the implementation of Rule 14.1 and implementation of a MCRAMA to track any revenue shortfall associated with the implementation of the 20% conservation goal. The advice letter was approved on March 21, 2014 and the Rule 14.1 voluntary conservation measures, the MCMA, and MCRAMA all went into effect on March

31, 2014. San Jose Water Company will record the impact of the MCRAMA and MCMA regulatory accounts once probability of recovery can be determined and collection can be assured within 24 months of the year-end the revenue is recorded.
On May 23, 2014, San Jose Water Company filed Advice Letter No. 461 seeking authorization to increase revenue by $9,400, or approximately 3.6% to offset increases to SCVWD groundwater production charges and treated water charges. The CPUC authorized this increase, and the increase became effective on July 1, 2014.
On October 3, 2013, CLWSC filed a rate case with the TCEQ. The filing contained a request for an average system-wide rate increase of 23.1%, or $2,400. With the exception of customers served within the City of Bulverde, the new rates became effective on December 2, 2013. Subsequently, effective March 1, 2014, a rate settlement agreement was reached with the City of Bulverde with rate increases being phased-in over a 28-month period. Prior to approval by the TCEQ, the new rates are subject to adjustment and refund for customers outside the City of Bulverde. A preliminary hearing in the matter for customers outside the City of Bulverde was completed on July 22, 2014, at which time an Administrative Law Judge allowed additional time until September 12, 2014 for the involved parties to attempt to reach a settlement. CLWSC has recognized the average 23.1% increase in accordance with ASC Topic 980 which provides guidance when a regulated entity is permitted to bill requested rate increases before the regulator has ruled on the request. If information becomes available that indicates it is probable that any of the average 23.1% rate increase will need to be refunded and the amount of refund can be reasonably estimated, a loss contingency shall be accrued. CLWSC has determined at this time that it is not probable that any of the rate increase will need to be refunded. Management does not anticipate that the final TCEQ decision will materially affect SJW Corp.'s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SJW Corp. undertakes no obligation to update or revise the information contained in this report, including the forward-looking statements, to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report.
General:
SJW Corp. is a holding company with four subsidiaries: San Jose Water Company, SJW Land Company, SJWTX, Inc., and Texas Water Alliance Limited.
San Jose Water Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., is a public utility in the business of providing water service to approximately 228,000 connections that serve a population of approximately one million people in an area comprising approximately 138 square miles in the metropolitan San Jose, California area.
The principal business of San Jose Water Company consists of the production, purchase, storage, purification, distribution, wholesale and retail sale of water. San Jose Water Company provides water service to customers in portions of the cities of San Jose and Cupertino and in the cities of Campbell, Monte Sereno, Saratoga and the Town of Los Gatos, and adjacent unincorporated territories, all in the County of Santa Clara in the State of California. San Jose Water Company distributes water to customers in accordance with accepted water utility methods which include pumping from storage and gravity feed from high elevation reservoirs. San Jose Water Company also provides non-tariffed services under agreements with municipalities and other utilities. These non-tariffed services include water system operations, maintenance agreements and antenna leases.
San Jose Water Company has utility property including land held in fee, impounding reservoirs, diversion facilities, wells, distribution storage, and all water facilities, equipment, office buildings and other property necessary to supply its customers. Under Section 851 of the California Public Utilities Code, properties currently used and useful in providing utilities services cannot be disposed of unless CPUC approval is obtained.
San Jose Water Company also has approximately 700 acres of nonutility property which has been identified as no longer used and useful in providing utility services. The majority of the properties are located in the hillside area adjacent to San Jose Water Company's various watershed properties.
SJW Land Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., owned the following real properties during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014:

* | On June 30, 2014, SJW Land Company closed the sale of its Texas retail building. Revenue and expense amounts are through the sale closing date. Expense amount excludes the gain on sale of property. |
SJW Land Company owns a 70% limited partnership interest in 444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P. One of the California properties is owned by such partnership. The limited partnership has been determined to be a variable interest entity within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 810 – “Consolidation” with SJW Land Company as the primary beneficiary, and as a result, it has been consolidated with SJW Land Company.
SJWTX, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., doing business as Canyon Lake Water Service Company (“CLWSC”), is a public utility in the business of providing water service to approximately 11,000 connections that serve approximately 36,000 people. CLWSC's service area comprises more than 240 square miles in western Comal County and southern Blanco County in the growing region between San Antonio and Austin, Texas. SJWTX, Inc. has a 25% interest in Acequia Water Supply Corporation (“Acequia”). The water supply corporation has been determined to be a variable interest entity within the scope of ASC Topic 810 with SJWTX, Inc. as the primary beneficiary. As a result, Acequia has been consolidated with SJWTX, Inc.
Texas Water Alliance Limited (“TWA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., is undertaking activities that are necessary to develop a water supply project in Texas. In connection with the project, TWA applied for groundwater production and transportation permits to meet the future water needs in the Canyon Lake Water Service Company's service area and to the central Texas hill country communities and utilities adjacent to this area. In January 2013, TWA's permits were approved unanimously by the groundwater district in Gonzales County. The permits were subsequently received in March 2013.
Business Strategy for Water Utility Services:
SJW Corp. focuses its business initiatives in three strategic areas:
| |
(1) | Regional regulated water utility operations; |
| |
(2) | Regional nonregulated water utility related services provided in accordance with the guidelines established by the CPUC in California and the TCEQ in Texas; |
| |
(3) | Out-of-region water and utility related services. |
As part of its pursuit of the above three strategic areas, the Company considers from time to time opportunities to acquire businesses and assets. However, SJW Corp. cannot be certain it will be successful in identifying and consummating any strategic business acquisitions relating to such opportunities. In addition, any transaction will involve numerous risks, including the possibility of incurring more costs than benefits derived from the acquisition, the assumption of certain known and unknown liabilities related to the acquired assets, the diversion of management's attention from day-to-day operations of the business, the potential for a negative impact on SJW Corp.'s financial position and operating results, entering markets in which SJW Corp. has no or limited direct prior experience and the potential loss of key employees of any acquired company. SJW Corp. cannot be certain that any transaction will be successful or that it will not materially harm its operating results or financial condition.
Real Estate Services:
SJW Corp.'s real estate investment activity is conducted through SJW Land Company. SJW Land Company owns undeveloped land and owns and operates a portfolio of commercial buildings in the states of California, Arizona and Tennessee. SJW Land Company also owns a limited partnership interest in 444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P. The partnership owns a commercial building in San Jose, California. SJW Land Company manages its acquired income producing and other properties until such time a determination is made to reinvest proceeds from sale of such properties. SJW Land Company's real estate investments diversify SJW Corp.'s asset base.
Critical Accounting Policies:
SJW Corp. has identified the accounting policies delineated below as the policies critical to its business operations and the understanding of the results of operations. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. SJW Corp. bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. SJW Corp.'s critical accounting policies are as follows:
Revenue Recognition
SJW Corp. recognizes its regulated and nonregulated revenue when services have been rendered, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 – “Revenue Recognition.”
Metered revenue of Water Utility Services includes billing to customers based on meter readings plus an estimate of water used between the customers' last meter reading and the end of the accounting period. Water Utility Services read the majority of its customers' meters on a bi-monthly basis and records its revenue based on its meter reading results. Unbilled revenue from the last meter reading date to the end of the accounting period is estimated based on the most recent usage patterns, production records and the effective tariff rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, which may result in an adjustment to operating revenue in the period which the revision to Water Utility Services' estimates is determined. San Jose Water Company also recognizes balancing and memorandum accounts in its revenue when it is probable that future recovery of previously incurred costs or future refunds that are to be credited to customers will occur through the ratemaking process.
Revenues also include a surcharge collected from regulated customers that is paid to the CPUC. This surcharge is recorded both in operating revenues and administrative and general expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the surcharge was $833 and $917, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the surcharge was $1,616 and $1,632, respectively.
SJW Corp. recognizes its nonregulated revenue based on the nature of the nonregulated business activities. Revenue from San Jose Water Company's nonregulated utility operations, maintenance agreements or antenna leases are recognized when services have been rendered. Revenue from SJW Land Company properties is generally recognized ratably over the term of the leases.
Balancing and Memorandum Accounts
The purpose of a balancing account is to track the under-collection or over-collection associated with expense changes and the revenue authorized by the CPUC to offset those expense changes. Pursuant to Section 792.5 of the California Public Utilities Code, a balancing account must be maintained for expense items for which revenue offsets have been authorized.
Balancing accounts are currently being maintained for the following items: purchased water, purchased power, groundwater extraction charges, and pensions. The amount in the water production balancing accounts varies with the seasonality of the water utility business such that, during the summer months when the demand for water is at its peak, the accounts tend to reflect an under-collection, while during the winter months when demand for water is relatively lower, the accounts tend to reflect an over-collection. The pension balancing account is intended to capture the difference between actual pension expense and the amount approved in rates by the CPUC.
The Company also maintains memorandum accounts to track revenue impacts due to catastrophic events, certain unforeseen water quality expenses related to new federal and state water quality standards, energy efficiency, cost of capital, any revenue requirement impact of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, and other approved activities or as directed by the CPUC.
Balancing and memorandum accounts are recognized in revenue by San Jose Water Company when it is probable that future recovery of previously incurred costs or future refunds that are to be credited to customers will occur through the ratemaking process. In addition, in the case of special revenue programs such as the MCRAMA, collection of the account balance must occur within 24 months of the end of the year the revenue is recorded. In assessing the probability criteria for balancing and memorandum accounts between rate cases, the Company considers evidence that may exist prior to CPUC authorization that
would satisfy ASC Topic 980, subtopic 340-25 recognition criteria. Such evidence may include regulatory rules and decisions, past practices, and other facts and circumstances that would indicate that recovery or refund is probable. When such evidence provides sufficient support for balance recognition, the balances are recorded in the Company's financial statements.
It is typical for the CPUC to incorporate any over-collected and/or under-collected balances in balancing or memorandum accounts into customer rates at the time rate decisions are made as part of the Company's general rate case proceedings by assessing temporary surcredits and/or surcharges. In the case where the Company's balancing or memorandum-type accounts that have been authorized by the CPUC reach certain thresholds or have termination dates, the Company can request the CPUC to recognize the amounts in customer rates prior to the next regular general rate case proceeding by filing an advice letter.
Recognition of Regulatory Assets and Liabilities
Generally accepted accounting principles for water utilities include the recognition of regulatory assets and liabilities as permitted by ASC Topic 980. In accordance with ASC Topic 980, Water Utility Services, to the extent applicable, records deferred costs and credits on the balance sheet as regulatory assets and liabilities when it is probable that these costs and credits will be recognized in the ratemaking process in a period different from when the costs and credits are incurred. Accounting for such costs and credits is based on management's judgment and prior historical ratemaking practices, and it occurs when management determines that it is probable that these costs and credits will be recognized in the future revenue of Water Utility Services through the ratemaking process. The regulatory assets and liabilities recorded by Water Utility Services, in particular, San Jose Water Company, primarily relate to the recognition of deferred income taxes for ratemaking versus tax accounting purposes, balancing and memorandum accounts, postretirement pension benefits, medical costs, accrued benefits for vacation and asset retirement obligations that have not been passed through in rates. The Company adjusts the related asset and liabilities for these items through its regulatory asset and liability accounts at year-end, except for certain postretirement benefit costs and balancing and memorandum accounts which are adjusted monthly. The disallowance of any asset in future ratemaking, including deferred regulatory assets, would require San Jose Water Company to immediately recognize the impact of the costs for financial reporting purposes. No disallowances were recognized during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014 or during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Pension Plan Accounting
San Jose Water Company offers a Pension Plan, Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan, Cash Balance Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan and certain postretirement benefits other than pensions to employees retiring with a minimum level of service. Accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits requires assumptions about the discount rate applied to expected benefit obligations, expected return on plan assets, the rate of future compensation increases expected to be received by the employees, mortality, turnover, and medical costs. Plan assets are marked to market at each reporting date.
Income Taxes
SJW Corp. estimates its federal and state income taxes as part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements. The process involves estimating the actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes, including the evaluation of the treatment acceptable in the water utility industry and regulatory environment. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included on the balance sheet. If actual results, due to changes in the regulatory treatment, or significant changes in tax-related estimates or assumptions or changes in law, differ materially from these estimates, the provision for income taxes will be materially impacted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 which supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. The updated standard will become effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Results of Operations:
Water sales are seasonal in nature and influenced by weather conditions. The timing of precipitation and climatic conditions can cause seasonal water consumption by customers to vary significantly. Due to the seasonal nature of the water business, the operating results for interim periods are not indicative of the operating results for a 12-month period. Revenue is generally higher in the warm, dry summer months when water usage and sales are greater and lower in the winter months when cooler temperatures and increased rainfall curtail water usage and sales. Our service area in California is in the midst of a record drought. In response to this, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. proclaimed a State of Emergency and directed state officials to
take necessary actions to prepare for drought conditions. The SCVWD, our water wholesaler, has set a target of a 20% reduction for water use in 2014 in accordance with its adopted water shortage contingency plan and recommended that its retail water and municipal customers implement mandatory measures to meet the target. Effective March 31, 2014, San Jose Water Company received approval from the CPUC for a Mandatory Conservation Revenue Adjustment Memorandum Account to track any revenue shortfall and a Mandatory Conservation Memorandum Account to track operational and administrative costs associated with the implementation of the 20% conservation goal.
Overview
SJW Corp.'s consolidated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $6,846, a decrease of $594 or approximately 8%, from $7,440 for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net income was primarily due to reduced operating revenue as a result of decreased water usage from conservation efforts during the recent drought. The impact of the decrease of operating revenue on net income was partially offset by a gain on the sale of California Water Service Group stock as well as recognition of a State of California enterprise zone sales and use tax credit. SJW Corp.'s consolidated net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $7,752, a decrease of $1,005 or approximately 11%, from $8,757 for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in groundwater extraction charges and related power costs due to the reduced availability of surface water as a result of the recent drought, partially offset by administrative and general expense cost savings, a gain on the sale of California Water Service Group stock, and recognition of a State of California enterprise zone sales and use tax credit.

Sources of Water Supply
San Jose Water Company's water supply consists of groundwater from wells, surface water from watershed run-off and diversion, reclaimed water, and imported water purchased from the SCVWD under the terms of a master contract with SCVWD expiring in 2051. Surface water is the least expensive source of water. Changes and variations in quantities from each of these sources affect the overall mix of the water supply, thereby affecting the cost of the water supply. In addition, the water rate for purchased water and the groundwater extraction charge may be increased by the SCVWD at any time. If an increase occurs, then San Jose Water Company would file an advice letter with the CPUC seeking authorization to increase revenues to offset the cost increase.
CLWSC's water supply consists of groundwater from wells and purchased raw water from the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (“GBRA”). CLWSC has long-term agreements with the GBRA, which expire in 2040, 2044 and 2050. The agreements, which are take-or-pay contracts, provide CLWSC with an aggregate of 6,700 acre-feet of water per year from Canyon Lake and other sources at prices that may be adjusted periodically by GBRA.

The changes in the source of supply mix were consistent with the changes in the water production expenses.
Unaccounted-for water on a 12-month-to-date basis for June 30, 2014 and 2013 approximated 6.9% and 5.5%, respectively, as a percentage of total production. The unaccounted-for water estimate is based on the results of past experience, the trend and efforts in reducing Water Utility Services' unaccounted-for water through main replacements and lost water reduction programs.
Water production expenses
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013, the increase in water production expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in the use of available surface water supply and higher per unit costs for purchased water, groundwater extraction and energy charges. These increases were offset by a decrease in customer water usage. Effective July 2013, SCVWD increased the unit price of purchased water by approximately 8% and the groundwater extraction charge by approximately 9%. The Company has been notified by the SCVWD that the unit price of purchased water and the groundwater extraction charge has increased 9% and 10%, respectively, effective July 1, 2014.
Other Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, excluding water production expenses, increased $358 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $752 in depreciation expense due to
increases in utility plant, $140 increase in maintenance expenses, and an increase of $41 in property taxes and other non-income taxes as a result of increased utility plant. This increase was offset by a $575 decrease in administrative and general expenses due to payments incurred in the prior year relating to our Texas water supply project and a decrease in pension expense due to an increasing discount rate coupled with an increase in return on pension plan assets.
Operating expenses, excluding water production expenses, decreased $688 for the for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2,619 decrease in administrative and general expenses due to payments incurred in the prior year relating to our Texas water supply project, a decrease in pension expense due to an increasing discount rate coupled with an increase in return on pension plan assets and lower recycled water retrofit program expenses. This decrease was offset by an increase of $1,421 in depreciation expense and $296 in property taxes and other non-income taxes as a result of increased utility plant, and an increase of $214 in maintenance expenses.
Other (Expense) Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, the change in other (expense) income was primarily due to a $2,017 pre-tax gain from the sale of California Water Service Group stock and a $273 pre-tax gain from the sale of our Texas real estate property. No similar sales occurred in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, the change in other (expense) income was primarily due to a $2,017 pre-tax gain from the sale of California Water Service Group stock, partially offset by a decrease in the pre-tax gain from the sale of our Texas real estate property compared to the pre-tax gain recorded in the prior year on the sale of our Connecticut property.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013, income tax expense decreased $2,099 and $2,468, respectively, as a result of lower pre-tax income and the recognition of $880 in California State enterprise zone sales and use tax credits related to tax years 2008 through 2012. The effective consolidated income tax rates were 31% and 41% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 32% and 41% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
On September 13, 2013, the Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued final tangible property regulations under provisions that generally are intended to simplify, clarify and make more administrable the 2011 temporary and proposed tangible property regulations. These regulations broadly apply to amounts to acquire, produce or improve tangible property, as well as dispositions of such property and determination of whether those amounts can be deducted or capitalized as part of the asset. The final regulations generally are effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Certain provisions of the final regulations provide management with an annual election to follow the book policy for capitalization. Management is currently evaluating whether to pursue such elections and their impact on the financial statements.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The change in other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 was due to a change in market value and sale of the Company's investment in California Water Service Group stock.
Water Supply
On July 1, 2014, SCVWD's 10 reservoirs were approximately 47% full with 78,979 acre-feet of water in storage. As reported by SCVWD, the rainfall was approximately 46% of the seasonal average for the rainfall season that commenced on July 1, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, San Jose Water Company's Lake Elsman contained 847 acre-feet of water, of which approximately 233 acre-feet can be utilized. In addition, the rainfall at San Jose Water Company's Lake Elsman was measured at 18.14 inches for the rainfall season that commenced on July 1, 2013 and ended on June 30, 2014, which is approximately 40% of the five-year average. Local surface water is a less costly source of water than groundwater or purchased water and its availability significantly impacts San Jose Water Company's results of operations. San Jose Water Company will utilize additional water from its portfolio of groundwater supplies in 2014, and believes that its various potable water sources will be sufficient to meet customer demand through the remainder of 2014.
In response to the driest year (2013) in recorded California state history, on January 17, 2014, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. proclaimed a State of Emergency and directed state officials to take necessary actions to prepare for drought conditions. On February 25, 2014, the SCVWD set a target of a 20% reduction in water use for 2014 in accordance with its adopted water shortage contingency plan and recommended that its retail water and municipal customers implement mandatory measures to meet the target. San Jose Water Company is actively coordinating with the SCVWD to meet the recommended reduction in water use. Effective March 1, 2014, the SCVWD reduced all treated water deliveries to 80% of monthly contract allocations through December 31, 2014. On March 31, 2014, San Jose Water Company received CPUC authorization to implement water conservation rules as defined in Tariff Rule 14.1. Rule 14.1 focuses primarily on outdoor water use which accounts for 50% of a typical customer's water usage. For the months of April and May, San Jose Water Company's regulated water usage was down
16% and 9%, respectively, compared to the same two months in 2013. SJW Corp. and San Jose Water Company, provide additional information on their web sites relating to ongoing water conservation measures taken or to be taken in response to the historical drought conditions in California, including information on customer water usage. The web sites are accessible at www.sjwater.com and www.sjwcorp.com. The Company intends to update the web sites as appropriate during the period in which the water shortage contingency plan of SCVWD remains in effect.
CLWSC's water supply consists of groundwater from wells and purchased and treated raw water from the GBRA. CLWSC has long-term agreements with the GBRA, which expire in 2040, 2044 and 2050. The agreements, which are take-or-pay contracts, provide CLWSC with an aggregate of 6,700 acre-feet of water per year from Canyon Lake and other sources at prices that may be adjusted periodically by GBRA.
Regulation and Rates
Almost all of the operating revenue of San Jose Water Company results from the sale of water at rates authorized by the CPUC. The CPUC sets rates that are intended to provide revenue sufficient to recover operating expenses and the opportunity to achieve a specified return on common equity. The timing of rate decisions could have an impact on the results of operations.
On January 3, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a general rate case application requesting rate increases of $47,394, or 21.51% in 2013, $12,963, or 4.87% in 2014, and $34,797, or 12.59% in 2015. Parties to the proceeding filed open briefs on July 20, 2012 and reply briefs on August 7, 2012. On September 26, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a motion for interim rate relief so that if a decision was not reached by the end of 2012, San Jose Water Company would be allowed to adopt interim rates, effective January 1, 2013, until a decision is adopted. To date a final decision has not been adopted and interim rates are currently in effect. Interim rates were set equal to fiscal year-end 2012 rates. Differences between interim rates and approved rates are tracked in a memorandum account and will be submitted for recovery or refund. On July 11, 2014, the CPUC issued a proposed decision in this application. The proposed decision recommends rate increases of $22,063, or 9.79% in 2013, $11,579, or 4.72% in 2014, and $15,356, or 6.02% in 2015. A proposed decision is only a recommendation from the assigned Administrative Law Judge, is subject to comments from the public, and is not necessarily indicative of what will be adopted in the final decision. San Jose Water Company is currently reviewing the proposed decision and comments were due July 31, 2014. The earliest the proposed decision can be voted on by the CPUC is August 14, 2014. A final decision on this application is expected in the third quarter of 2014.
On February 28, 2014, San Jose Water Company submitted Advice Letter No. 456. In this advice letter, San Jose Water Company notified the CPUC that San Jose Water Company was implementing conservation Tariff Rule 14.1. The CPUC's Rule 14.1 provides voluntary conservation measures for customers, focusing primarily on outdoor water use which accounts for 50% of a typical customer's water usage. In addition, San Jose Water Company requested the implementation of a MCMA to track all operational and administrative costs associated with the implementation of Rule 14.1 and implementation of a MCRAMA to track any revenue shortfall associated with the implementation of the 20% conservation goal. The advice letter was approved on March 21, 2014 and the Rule 14.1 voluntary conservation measures, the MCMA, and MCRAMA all went into effect on March 31, 2014. San Jose Water Company will record the impact of the MCRAMA and MCMA regulatory accounts once probability of recovery can be determined and collection can be assured within 24 months of the year-end the revenue is recorded.
On March 17, 2014, San Jose Water Company filed Advice Letter No. 457. In Advice Letter No. 457, San Jose Water Company requested authorization for a rate base offset for improvements to the Montevina Water Treatment Plant. In Decision 13-07-028, the CPUC authorized San Jose Water Company to file annual advice letters to include in rate base properly recorded costs of the Montevina Water Treatment Plant upgrade project. This filing was the first such advice letter. San Jose Water Company will file similar annual advice letters until the project is completed. The current advice letter filing requests authorization for a revenue increase of approximately $123. This would result in an increase to rates of 0.05%. The CPUC authorized this increase, and the increase became effective on July 28, 2014.
On May 23, 2014, San Jose Water Company filed Advice Letter No. 461 seeking authorization to increase revenue by $9,400, or approximately 3.6% to offset increases to SCVWD groundwater production charges and treated water charges. The CPUC authorized this increase, and the increase became effective on July 1, 2014.
CLWSC is subject to regulation by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”). The TCEQ authorizes rate increases after the filing of an Application for a Rate/Tariff Change. Rate cases may be filed as they become necessary, provided there is no current rate case outstanding. Further, rate cases may not be filed more frequently than once every 12 months.
On August 27, 2010, CLWSC filed a rate case with the TCEQ. The filing contained a request for an immediate increase in revenue of 38% and a total increase of 71%. The new rates (38%) became effective on October 27, 2010. On August 21, 2013, the TCEQ issued a decision in the case that supported a rate base of $38,000, a return on equity of 10.88%, and a 33% increase in revenue requirement. Since the rates authorized by the TCEQ are less than the interim rates, this resulted in a customer
refund of approximately $1,000 for rate over-collections during the period of interim rates. In accordance with the TCEQ decision, the refund may be made over the same number of months that the customer paid the interim rates, or 33 months. This amount has been recorded as a regulatory liability and reduction of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2013. In November 2013, CLWSC filed an appeal of the TCEQ decision with the District Court of Travis County alleging certain errors in the final decision. The appeal is currently pending before the District Court.
On October 3, 2013, CLWSC filed a rate case with the TCEQ. The filing contained a request for an average system-wide rate increase of 23.1%, or $2,400. With the exception of customers served within the City of Bulverde, the new rates became effective on December 2, 2013. Subsequently, effective March 1, 2014, a rate settlement agreement was reached with the City of Bulverde with rate increases being phased-in over a 28-month period. Prior to approval by the TCEQ, the new rates are subject to adjustment and refund for customers outside the City of Bulverde. A preliminary hearing in the matter for customers outside the City of Bulverde was completed on July 22, 2014, at which time an Administrative Law Judge allowed additional time until September 12, 2014 for the involved parties to attempt to reach a settlement. The Company has recognized the average 23.1% increase in accordance with ASC Topic 980 which provides guidance when a regulated entity is permitted to bill requested rate increases before the regulator has ruled on the request. If information becomes available that indicates it is probable that any of the average 23.1% rate increase will need to be refunded and the amount of refund can be reasonably estimated, a loss contingency shall be accrued. CLWSC has determined at this time that it is not probable that any of the rate increase will need to be refunded. Management does not anticipate that the final TCEQ decision will materially affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Liquidity:
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, SJW Corp. generated cash flows from operations of approximately $25,000, compared to $27,000 for the same period in 2013. Cash flow from operations is primarily generated by net income from revenue producing activities, adjusted for non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, gains on the sale of assets, and changes in working capital items. Cash flow from operations decreased by approximately $2,000. This decrease was caused by a combination of the following factors: (1) net income adjusted for non-cash items and gains from asset activity decreased $4,700, (2) payments of amounts previously invoiced and accruals related to groundwater extraction charges and purchased water decreased by $3,600, (3) collections of previously billed and accrued receivables, including the regulatory liability recorded in other current liabilities, increased by $6,400, and (4) general working capital and postretirement benefit changes caused a $100 decrease.
As of June 30, 2014, Water Utility Services' write-offs for uncollectible accounts represent less than 1% of its total revenue, unchanged from June 30, 2013. Management believes it will continue to collect its accounts receivable balances at its historical collection rate.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, SJW Corp. used approximately $48,200 of cash for company-funded capital expenditures, $4,500 for developer-funded capital expenditures, and $800 for acquisitions. These uses were offset by cash proceeds of $4,300 from the sale of SJW Land Company's real estate investment in Texas and $3,100 from the sale of California Water Service Group stock.
Water Utility Services' budgeted capital expenditures for 2014, exclusive of capital expenditures financed by customer contributions and advances, are $88,600. As of June 30, 2014, approximately $48,200 or 54% of the $88,600 has been spent.
Water Utility Services' capital expenditures are incurred in connection with normal upgrading and expansion of existing facilities and to comply with environmental regulations. Over the next five years, Water Utility Services expects to incur approximately $527,000 in capital expenditures, which includes replacement of pipes and mains, and maintaining water systems. This amount is subject to CPUC and TCEQ approval. Included in this amount is $60,500 relating to upgrades to San Jose Water Company's 40-year old Montevina Water Treatment Plant. Capital expenditures have the effect of increasing utility plant on which Water Utility Services earns a return. Water Utility Services actual capital expenditures may vary from their projections due to changes in the expected demand for services, weather patterns, actions by governmental agencies, and general economic conditions. Total additions to utility plant normally exceed Company-financed additions as a result of new facilities construction funded with advances from developers and contributions in aid of construction.
A substantial portion of San Jose Water Company's distribution system was constructed during the period from 1945 to 1980. Expenditure levels for renewal and modernization of this part of the system will grow at an increasing rate as these components reach the end of their useful lives. In most cases, replacement cost will significantly exceed the original installation cost of the retired assets due to increases in the costs of goods and services and increased regulation.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by approximately $13,000 from the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in net borrowings on the line of credit and long-term borrowings offset by the issuance of common stock in the prior year.
Sources of Capital:
San Jose Water Company's ability to finance future construction programs and sustain dividend payments depends on its ability to maintain or increase internally generated funds and attract external financing. The level of future earnings and the related cash flow from operations is dependent, in large part, upon the timing and outcome of regulatory proceedings.
San Jose Water Company's financing activity is designed to achieve a capital structure consistent with regulatory guidelines of approximately 49% debt and 51% equity. As of June 30, 2014, San Jose Water Company's funded debt and equity were approximately 45% and 55%, respectively.
Funding for San Jose Water Company's future capital expenditure program is expected to be provided primarily through internally-generated funds, the issuance of new long-term debt, the issuance of equity or the sale of all or part of our investment in California Water Service Group, all of which will be consistent with the regulator's guidelines.
On January 24, 2014, San Jose Water Company entered into a note agreement (the “Note Agreement”) with John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) and its affiliate (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which San Jose Water Company agreed to sell an aggregate principal amount of $50,000 of its 5.14% senior note, Series L (the “Notes”) to the Purchaser. The senior note is an unsecured obligation of San Jose Water Company and is due on the date that is the 30th anniversary of the issuance of the senior note. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The Note Agreement contains customary representations and warranties. The Company has agreed to customary affirmative and negative covenants for as long as the Notes are outstanding, including, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, among other things, limitation on indebtedness based on a specified debt to capitalization ratio and a net income to interest charge ratio. The Notes are subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which may result in all of the Notes then outstanding becoming immediately due and payable. The consummation of the transaction contemplated under the Note Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including the execution and delivery of the Notes. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions and is expected to occur on August 7, 2014.
SJW Corp.'s unsecured senior note agreement has terms and conditions that restrict SJW Corp. from issuing additional funded debt if: (1) the funded consolidated debt would exceed 66-2/3% of total capitalization, and (2) the minimum net worth of SJW Corp. becomes less than $175,000 plus 30% of Water Utility Services cumulative net income, since June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2014, SJW Corp. was not restricted from issuing future indebtedness as a result of these terms and conditions.
San Jose Water Company's unsecured senior note agreements generally have terms and conditions that restrict San Jose Water Company from issuing additional funded debt if: (1) the funded debt would exceed 66-2/3% of total capitalization, and (2) net income available for interest charges for the trailing 12-calendar-month period would be less than 175% of interest charges.

As of June 30, 2014, San Jose Water Company was not restricted from issuing future indebtedness as a result of these terms and conditions.
San Jose Water Company's loan agreement with the California Pollution Control Financing Authority contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for a loan agreement relating to revenue bonds, including, among other things, complying with certain disclosure obligations and covenants relating to the tax exempt status of the interest on the bonds and limitations and prohibitions relating to the transfer of the projects funded by the loan proceeds and the assignment of the loan agreement. As of June 30, 2014, San Jose Water Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
SJWTX, Inc.'s unsecured senior note agreement has terms and conditions that restrict SJWTX, Inc. from issuing additional funded debt if: (1) the funded debt would exceed 66-2/3% of total capitalization, and (2) net income available for interest charges for the trailing 12-calendar-month period would be less than 175% of interest charges. In addition, SJW Corp. is a guarantor of SJWTX, Inc.'s senior note which has terms and conditions that restrict SJW Corp. from issuing additional funded debt if: (1) the funded consolidated debt would exceed 66-2/3% of total capitalization, and (2) the minimum net worth of SJW Corp. becomes less than $125,000 plus 30% of Water Utility Services cumulative net income, since December 31, 2005. As of June 30, 2014, SJWTX, Inc. and SJW Corp. were not restricted from issuing future indebtedness as a result of these terms and conditions.
As of June 30, 2014, SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries had unsecured bank lines of credit, allowing aggregate short-term borrowings of up to $100,000, of which $15,000 was available to SJW Corp. and SJW Land Company under a single line of credit and $85,000 was available to San Jose Water Company under another line of credit. $3,000 under the San Jose Water Company line of credit is set aside in the form of letters of credit for its Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loans. At
June 30, 2014, SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries had available unused short-term bank lines of credit of $44,800. These lines of credit bear interest at variable rates. They will expire on September 1, 2016. The cost of borrowing on SJW Corp.'s short-term credit facilities averaged 1.1% as of June 30, 2014. SJW Corp., on a consolidated basis, has the following affirmative covenants on its unsecured bank line of credit: (1) the funded debt cannot exceed 66-2/3% of total capitalization, and (2) net income available for interest charges for the trailing 12-calendar-month period cannot be less than 175% of interest charges. As of June 30, 2014, SJW Corp.'s funded debt was 51% of total capitalization and the net income available for interest charges was 267% of interest charges. As of June 30, 2014, SJW Corp. was in compliance with all covenants. San Jose Water Company's unsecured bank line of credit has the following affirmative covenants: (1) the funded debt cannot exceed 66-2/3% of total capitalization, and (2) net income available for interest charges for the trailing 12-calendar-month period cannot be less than 175% of interest charges.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
SJW Corp. is subject to market risks in the normal course of business, including changes in interest rates, pension plan asset values, and equity prices. The exposure to changes in interest rates can result from the issuance of debt and short-term funds obtained through the Company's variable rate lines of credit. San Jose Water Company sponsors a noncontributory pension plan for its employees. Pension costs and the funded status of the plan are affected by a number of factors including the discount rate and investment returns on plan assets. SJW Corp. also owned 259,151 shares of common stock of California Water Service Group as of June 30, 2014, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is therefore exposed to the risk of fluctuations and changes in equity prices.
SJW Corp. has no derivative financial instruments, financial instruments with significant off-balance sheet risks, or financial instruments with concentrations of credit risk.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
SJW Corp.'s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of SJW Corp.'s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that SJW Corp.'s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by SJW Corp. in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. SJW Corp. believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting during the second fiscal quarter of 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting of SJW Corp.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
SJW Corp. is subject to ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business.
