SJW CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1.General

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

The unaudited interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in SJW Corp.’s 20092010 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

Basic earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method in computing basic earnings per share is not used because the number of participating securities as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 260 - “Earning Per Share” is not significant. (The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security.) Diluted earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock including both shares outstanding and shares potentially issuable in connection with stock options, deferred restricted common stock awards under SJW Corp.’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Incentive Plan”) and shares potentially issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). For the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and 2009, 5712010, 239 and 7412,433 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively. For

Business Strategy:

SJW Corp. focuses its business initiatives in fourthree 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.CPUC in California and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) in Texas.

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

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

SJW Corp.’s real estate investment activity is conducted through SJW Land Company. SJW Land Company owns undeveloped land and owns and operates a portfolio of commercial buildings in the states of California, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Arizona and Tennessee. SJW Land Company also owns a limited partnership interest in 444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P. The partnership owns a commercial building in San Jose, California.

Critical Accounting Policies:

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

Revenue Recognition

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

Metered revenue of the 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. The Water Utility Services readsread the majority of its customers’ meters on a bi-monthly basis and records its revenue based on its meter reading results. Unbilled revenue from the last meter reading date to the end of the accounting period is estimated based on the most recent usage patterns, production records and the effective tariff rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, which may result in an adjustment to the operating revenue in the period which the revision to the Water Utility Services’ estimates areis determined. As of September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009,2010, accrued unbilled revenue was $19,197$13,108 and $12,435$12,717, respectively.

Unaccounted-for water on a 12 month-to-date basis for September 30, 2010 and 2009 approximated 7.36% and 8.03%, respectively, as a percentage of production. The estimate is based on the results of past experience, the trend and efforts in reducing the Water Utility Services’ unaccounted-for water through main replacements and lost water reduction programs.

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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and 2009,2010, the surcharge was $2,229$581 and $2,489,$601, respectively.

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

Recognition of Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Generally accepted accounting principles for water utilities include the recognition of regulatory assets and liabilities as permitted by FASB ASC Topic 980 - “Regulated Operations.” In accordance with ASC Topic 980, the Water Utility Services, to the extent applicable, recordrecords 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 the Water Utility Services through the ratemaking process. The regulatory assets and liabilities recorded by the Water Utility Services, in particular, San Jose Water Company, primarily relate to the recognition of deferred income taxes for ratemaking versus tax accounting purposes and the postretirement pension benefits, medical costs, accrued benefits for vacation and asset retirement obligations that have not been passed through in rates. The disallowance of any asset in future ratemaking, including deferred regulatory assets, would require San Jose Water Company to immediately recognize the impact of the costs for financial reporting purposes. No disallowance was recognized as of September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009.2010. Net regulatory assets recorded by San Jose Water Company as of September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 20092010 were $78,274$87,721 and $78,525,$87,721, respectively.

Pension Plan Accounting

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

The pension plan is administered by a committee that is composed of an equal number of company and union representatives (the “Committee”). The Committee has retained an investment consultant, presently Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, to assist it with, among other things, asset allocation strategy, investment policy advice, performance monitoring, and manager due diligence. Investment decisions have been delegated by the Committee to investment managers. Investment guidelines provided in the Investment Policy Statement require that at least 25% of the plan assets be invested in fixed income securities. As of December 31, 2009, the plan assets consist of approximately 37% bonds, 4% cash equivalents, and 59% equities. Furthermore, equities are to be diversified by industry groups and selected to achieve a balance of long-term growth and income combined with a goal of long-term preservation of capital. Except as provided for in the prospectus of any co-mingled investments, investment managers may not invest in commodities and futures contracts, private placements, options, letter stock, speculative securities, nor may they hold more than 5% of assets of any one private corporation. Except as provided for in the prospectus of any co-mingled investments, fixed income assets may only be invested in bonds, commercial paper, and money market funds with acceptable ratings by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s as defined by the Investment Policy Statement. The investment manager performance is reviewed regularly by the investment consultant who provides quarterly reports to the Committee for review.

Plan assets are marked to market at each measurement date. The investment trust assets incur unrealized market gains or losses from time to time. Both unrealized market gains and losses on pension assets are amortized over 12.9312.78 years for actuarial expense calculation purposes.

Income Taxes

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

Balancing and Memorandum Accounts

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

A balancing account is

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

In addition, San Jose Water Company maintains balancing accounts for pensions and other approved activities.

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

San Jose Water Company also maintains memorandum accounts to track revenue impacts due to catastrophic events, mandatory conservation, unforeseen water quality expenses related to new federal and state water quality standards, energy efficiency and recovery of capital improvement costs. Rate recovery for these memorandum accounts are generally allowed in the next general rate cases.
In the case where the Company’s balancing or memorandum-type accounts that have been authorized by the CPUC reach certain thresholds or have termination dates, the Company can request the CPUC to recognize the amounts in such accounts in customer rates prior to the next regular general rate case proceeding by filing an advice letter. If such amounts are authorized for inclusion into customer rates, revenue would be recognized at the time authorization is received pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 605 and Sub-Topic 980-605 – “Revenue Recognition.”

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

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

Sources of Water Supply
San Jose Water Company’s water supply consists of groundwater from wells, surface water from watershed run-off and diversion, reclaimed water and imported water purchased from the SCVWD under the terms of a master contract with SCVWD expiring in 2051.
CLWSC’s water supply consists of groundwater from wells and purchased raw water from the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (“GBRA”). CLWSC has long-term agreements with GBRA, which expire in 2040, 2044 and 2050. The agreements provide CLWSC with 6,700 acre-feet of water per year from Canyon Lake at prices to be adjusted periodically by GBRA.
Surface water is the least expensive source of water. The following table presents the change in sources of water supply, in million gallons, for Water Utility ServicesServices:

The changes in the source of supply mix were consistent with the changes in the water production costs.
Unaccounted-for water on a 12 month-to-date basis for March 31, 2011 and 2010 approximated 7.26% and 7.49%, respectively, as a percentage of total production. The estimate is based on the results of past experience and current trends, and efforts to reduce Water Utility Services’ unaccounted-for water through main replacements and lost water reduction programs.
Water production costs
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 2010, the increase in water production costs was primarily attributable to an increase in the use of purchased water. This resulted from a decrease in the use of available surface water supply due to inclement weather conditions which impacted our ability to treat available surface water. We expect the use of surface water will increase as weather conditions become more favorable.
Other Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, excluding water production costs, increased $1,987 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $683 in depreciation expense due to increased depreciable assets, $648 increase in administrative and general expenses primarily due to an increase in legal fees and wages, $384 increase in property taxes and other non-income taxes and $272 increase in maintenance expenses due to an increase in contract and paving costs as a result of an increase in main leak repairs.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense decreased $249 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of lower pre-tax income.

Other Comprehensive (Loss)/Income
The change in other comprehensive (loss)/income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was due to the changes in market value of the investment in California Water Service Group.
Water Supply
On March 28, 2011, SCVWD’s 10 reservoirs were approximately 80% full with 136,036 acre-feet of water in storage. As reported by SCVWD, the rainfall from July 1, 2009 to March 28, 2011 was approximately 118% of the seasonal average to date. As of March 31, 2011, San Jose Water Company’s Lake Elsman contained 2,005 million gallons of which approximately 1,805 million gallons can be utilized. In addition, the rainfall at San Jose Water Company’s Lake Elsman was measured at 53.14 inches for the season commencing from July 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011, which is approximately 136% of the five-year average. Local surface water is a less costly source of water than groundwater or purchased water and its availability significantly impacts San Jose Water Company’s results of operations. San Jose Water Company believes that is used and useful in providingits various sources of water utility services to customers and is included in rate base for rate-setting purposes. In California, real estate type utility property is subject to California Public Utilities Code Section 851, which states any gain recognizedsupply will be dividedsufficient to meet customer demand through the remainder of 2011.
On December 15, 2008, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a new Biological Opinion (“BiOp”) and Incidental Take Statement for the Central Valley Project (“CVP”) and the State Water Project (“SWP”) on the Delta smelt. The operating requirements of BiOp replaced the interim remedy ordered by Federal Judge Oliver Wanger in December 2007. The BiOp prescribes a range of operational criteria that are determined based on hydrology, fish distribution, abundance and other factors. Under a “most likely” scenario, the California Department of Water Resources and United States Bureau of Reclamation estimate that SWP and CVP supplies to SCVWD could be reduced by approximately 17% to 18% of the supply amount they currently receive. Under a “worst case” BiOp scenario, SWP and CVP supplies to SCVWD could be reduced by approximately 32% to 33% of the current supply amount they receive. In addition, while there is some overlap with two-thirds goingthe California Fish & Game Commission’s restrictions to protect longfin smelt, the customers (inlongfin pumping restrictions, if triggered, could cause significant supply impacts beyond those estimated to comply with Delta smelt requirements.
On March 24, 2009, the formSCVWD board of rate reduction)directors passed a resolution calling for a mandatory 15% reduction in water use for the remainder of the calendar year 2009. On December 8, 2009, this call for conservation was further extended through June 2010. To effect water restrictions, SCVWD worked with other political subdivisions that possess the authority to enact and one-thirdenforce drought ordinances in order to effect such restrictions. San Jose Water Company worked with the shareholders. Net gains or lossesCPUC to develop its water conservation plan to comply with the call for a 15% reduction in water use. The CPUC approved the plan, which became effective on August 12, 2009 and remained in effect through June 2010.
On July 13, 2010, the SCVWD board of directors passed a resolution calling for a three-month, 10% mandatory water conservation through September 30, 2010. On August 31, 2010, the SCVWD board of directors held a special work study session, which included retailers and municipalities, to discuss tiered rates and the effect on water conservation.
On September 28, 2010, the SCVWD board of directors voted to end mandatory conservation, but continued to request a voluntary 10% conservation through June 30, 2011.
Regulation and Rates
Almost all of the operating revenue of San Jose Water Company results from the sale of utility propertywater at rates authorized by the CPUC. The CPUC sets rates that are recorded asintended to provide revenue sufficient to recover operating expenses and produce a componentspecified return on common equity.

On June 2, 2010, San Jose Water Company recognizes gain/lossfiled an advice letter with the CPUC requesting authorization to increase revenues by $5,740 or approximately 2.61%. This increase is intended to recover the accumulated balance in the MCRAM, which was in effect from August 3, 2009 to May 1, 2010. The CPUC authorized MCRAM is intended to track the revenue impact of mandatory conservation upon San Jose Water Company’s quantity revenue resulting from mandatory conservation instituted by the SCVWD. As directed by the CPUC’s Division of Water and Audits, the MCRAM would be recovered via a surcharge on dispositionthe existing quantity rate for a period of nonutility property12 months following final approval by the CPUC. All revenue would be recognized immediately after final approval by the CPUC. On November 29, 2010, the CPUC’s Division of Water and Audits rejected the requested revenue increase without prejudice, claiming that the request should be submitted on a Petition for Modification of an earlier decision. On December 7, 2010, San Jose Water Company filed a Request for Review of the Rejection. On April 29, 2011, the CPUC’s Division of Water and Audits issued draft Resolution W-4875 that would have the CPUC affirm the rejection of the requested revenue increase. The draft Resolution sets a deadline for submitting comments on or before June 15, 2011. San Jose Water Company anticipates filing comments on the draft Resolution prior to the scheduled deadline. The draft Resolution is preliminarily set to be on the June 23, 2011 Commission meeting agenda, where the Commission will vote to adopt or deny the draft Resolution.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Cash Flow from Operations

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, SJW Corp. generated cash flow from operations of approximately $33,200,$11,500, compared to $36,700$11,000 in 2009.2010. Cash flow from operations is primarily generated by net income from its revenue producing activities, adjusted for non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and gains on the sale of assets. The decreasechanges in cashworking capital items. Cash flow from operations increased by approximately $500. This increase was caused by a combination of approximately $3,500 was due to a decrease inthe following factors: (1) net income adjusted for non-cash items and loss from asset activity increased $3,400, (2) improved collection of $3,100 and $400 inaccounts receivable drove an increase of $1,000, (3) general working capital changes caused a $600 decrease, and employee benefits.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, SJW Corp. used approximately $70,400$12,100 of cash for company funded capital expenditures, $2,900$700 for developer funded capital expenditures, $3,300and $1,100 for real estate investments which relate to the leasehold improvement additions for the office building located in Knoxville, Tennessee, and $2,900 for acquisitions. These uses were offset by proceeds of $8,100 related to the sale of California Water Service Group stock. This represented an increase in additions to utility plant of $29,600 over the same period in 2009.

Water Utility Services’ budgeted capital expenditures for 2010,2011, exclusive of capital expenditures financed by customer contributions and advances, are $70,016.$69,958. Historically, amounts have been carried over from previous years’ budgets. Approximately $21,500$10,600 has been carried over from prior years for total forecasted 2010 capital expenditures of $91,500.years’ budget and is included in the amount above.

The

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, the Water Utility Services expects to incur approximately $439,000$469,000 in capital expenditures, which includes replacement of pipes and mains, and maintaining water systems. Capital expenditures have the effect of increasing utility plant on which the Water Utility Services earns a return. The Water Utility Services actual capital expenditures may vary from their projections due to changes in the expected demand for services, weather patterns, actions by governmental agencies, and general economic conditions. Total additions to utility plant normally exceed company-financed additions as a result of new facilities construction funded with advances from developers and contributions in aid of construction.

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

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 50%48% debt and 50%52% equity (book value).

Results of Operations:

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

Overview

SJW Corp.’s consolidated net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $10,787, an increase of $2,770, or approximately 35%, from $8,017 in the third quarter of 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, consolidated net income was $16,288, an increase of $3,737, or approximately 30%, from $12,551 for the same period in 2009. The increase for the threeDividend Reinvestment and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to the gain on sale of California Water Service Group investment and lower production costs as a result of increased surface water availability.

Water production costs

For the three months ended September 30, the decrease in water production costs was primarily attributable to an increase in the availability of surface water supply in addition to a decrease in usage due to conservation efforts called for by the Santa Clara Valley Water District and lower per unit costs paid for purchased water and energy. For the nine months ended September 30, the decrease in water production costs was also due to an increase in the availability of surface water supply in addition to a decrease in usage due to conservation efforts. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net higher per unit costs paid for energy and purchased water.

Sources of Water Supply

The Water Utility Services water supply consists of groundwater from wells, surface water from watershed run-off and diversion, reclaimed water and water purchased from regional wholesalers. Surface water is the least expensive source of water. The following table presents the change in sources of water supply, in million gallons, for the Water Utility Services:

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

Operating expenses, excluding water production costs and income taxes, increased $1,654 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $1,361 in administrative and general expenses primarily due to an increase in retirement benefits, $679 in depreciation expense due to increased depreciable assets and $269 in other operating expenses. These increases were offset by a $655 decrease in maintenance expenses primarily due to a decrease in contracting and paving costs as a result of a decrease in main leak repairs. Income tax expense decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due primarily to lower pre-tax income. The tax rate was 41% and 42%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

21


Operating expenses, excluding water production costs and income taxes, increased $2,242 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $2,071 in depreciation expense due to increased depreciable assets, $1,075 in administrative and general expenses primarily due to an increase in retirement benefits and $563 in other operating expenses. These increases were offset by a $745 decrease in taxes other than income taxes and $722 in maintenance expenses. In 2009, we assumed the payment of property tax expense on one of our real estate properties resulting from a tenant bankruptcy. Income tax expense increased for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 as a result of higher pre-tax income. The tax rate was 41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

The change in other comprehensive income/(loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was due to the changes in market value and the sale of the investment in California Water Service Group.

Water Supply

San Jose Water Company’s water supply consists of groundwater from wells, surface water from watershed run-off and diversion, and imported water purchased from the Santa Clara Valley Water District (“SCVWD”) under the terms of a master contract with SCVWD expiring in 2051.

On September 20, 2010, SCVWD’s 10 reservoirs were approximately 58% full with 98,375 acre-feet of water in storage. For the first quarter of the rainfall season that commenced on July 1, 2010 and ends on June 30, 2011, there was no measurable rainfall. As of September 30, 2010, San Jose Water Company’s Lake Elsman contained 527 million gallons of which approximately 330 million gallons can be utilized. In addition, there was no rainfall at San Jose Water Company’s Lake Elsman for the season commencing from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, which is close to the five-year average of 0.09 inches for the same period. Local surface water is a less costly source of water than groundwater or purchased water and its availability significantly impacts San Jose Water Company’s results of operations. San Jose Water Company believes that its various sources of water supply will be sufficient to meet customer demand through the remainder of 2010.

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

On March 24, 2009, the SCVWD board of directors passed a resolution calling for a mandatory 15% reduction in water use, which had been extended through June 2010. To effect water restrictions, SCVWD must work with other political subdivisions that possess the authority to enact and enforce drought ordinances in order to effect such restrictions. San Jose Water Company worked with the CPUC to develop its water conservation plan to comply with the call for a 15% reduction in water use. The CPUC approved the plan, whichStock Purchase Plan. Such filing became effective on August 12, 2009 and remained in effect through June 2010.

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

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

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

Regulatory Affairs

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

On May 1, 2009, San Jose Water Company filed an application with the CPUC requesting authority to increase its authorized Cost of Capital (COC) for the period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012. In the application, San Jose Water Company is requesting a rate of return on rate base of 9.70% for Test Year 2010, a debt-equity capital structure of 47.66%/52.34%, a cost of debt of 7.03%, and an authorized return on equity of 12.125%. A CPUC decision is expected sometime in the fourth quarter of 2010.

On November 20, 2009, the CPUC approved the most recent general rate increase for San Jose Water Company. In summary, the decision authorizes a rate increase designed to increase revenue by $18,597 or 9.24% in 2010. In accordance with CPUC rules, the subsequent increases for the years 2011 and 2012 will be based upon the consumer price indices published in October of the preceding year. Best estimates of these increases at that time were $7,558 or 3.43% in 2011, and $11,088 or 4.87% in 2012. These rate increases are designed to produce a return on common equity of 10.13%, which is comparable with recent authorized returns for water utilities in California. The stated revenue increases for 2010 through 2012 do not include additional authorized increases associated with scheduled expense and rate base offset filings, rate recovery of planned upgrades to the Montevina Treatment Plant, and the potential supplemental filings for rate recovery of investments in alternative energy projects. The new rates for 2010 became effective January 1, 2010.

On April 2, 2010, San Jose Water Company filed an application with the CPUC requesting authorization to increase the annual revenue requirement by $80 or about 0.03% and to increase rates proportionately. This increase is necessary in order to support an annual increase of about $410 in the capital budget for meter replacement, in order to comply with the requirements of the Commission’s General Order No. 103. If approved, the rate change should become effective sometime in the fourth quarter of 2010.

On June 2, 2010, San Jose Water Company filed an advice letter with the CPUC requesting authorization to increase revenues by $5,740 or approximately 2.61%. This increase is intended to recover the accumulated balance in the Mandatory Conservation Revenue Adjustment Memorandum Account (“MCRAM”), which covered the period from August 3, 2009 to May 1, 2010. The CPUC authorized San Jose Water Company to establish a MCRAM to track the revenue impact of mandatory conservation upon San Jose Water Company’s quantity revenue resulting from mandatory conservation instituted by Santa Clara Valley Water District. As directed by the CPUC’s Water Division, any revenue increase would be recovered via a surcharge on the existing quantity rate for a period of 12 months following final approval by the CPUC. All revenue would be recognized immediately after final approval by the CPUC. A CPUC decision which was previously expected in the third quarter of 2010 is now expected sometime in the fourth quarter of 2010.

On August 27, 2010, Canyon Lake Water Service Company filed a rate case with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”). The filing contains a request for an increase in revenue of 38.4%. The rates will become effective, subject to refund, on or about October 27, with the first bills mailed to customers 30 days later. The Company is also requesting from the TCEQ for a rate base determination. A resolution of the case is not expected for at least 12 months.

On September 30, 2010, San Jose Water Company, in compliance with Commission Decision 09-11-032, is requesting the CPUC’s approval of upgrades to San Jose Water Company’s 40-year old Montevina Water Treatment Plant (“MWTP”). The MWTP treats surface water from the local watershed by direct media filtration and chlorine disinfection. Over the past 40 years, State and Federal drinking water regulations have changed significantly in areas that the MWTP was not designed to address. The MWTP has aging infrastructure and many of its components are out-dated and at the end of their useful lives. In addition, the concrete structures do not meet current structural and seismic requirements. The total project cost is $73,700 over five years, with the project commencing in19, 2011. To fund the MWTP upgrades, San Jose Water Company’s application is requesting revenue increases of $490 or 0.22% in 2011, $1,861 or 0.85% in 2012, $7,700 or 3.50% in 2013, $3,547 or 1.61% in 2014 and $843 or 0.38% in 2015 (all at current authorized rate of return).

SJW Corp. also owns 876,840192,560 shares of common stock of California Water Service Group as of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is therefore exposed to the risk of fluctuations and changes in equity prices.

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

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

SJW Corp.’s management, with the participation of SJW Corp.’sits 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 defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or “the Act”) 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.
