The Facility borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (a) a eurodollar rate (generally LIBOR rate), or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (2) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. from time to time and (3) the eurodollar rate plus 1.00%. The applicable margin is a percentage per annum varying from 0.00% to 0.75% for base rate loans and 1.00% to 1.75% for eurodollar loans, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company also pays a commitment fee, based on the leverage ratio, payable quarterly, in arrears, ranging from 0.225% to 0.300% on the average daily unused portion of the Facility. For purposes of this calculation, irrevocable standby letters of credit issued primarily in conjunction with the Company’s self-insurance program and cash borrowings are included as usage of the Facility.

<div> Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements present separately the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholder’s equity and comprehensive income of ABM. The consolidated financial statements of ABM are hereinafter referred to as the “Financial Statements”. We prepare our Financial Statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Financial Statements include the accounts of ABM and all of our controlled subsidiaries. Equity investments in which the Company does not have control, but which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally 20% to 50% ownership), are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain immaterial amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. </div>

4203699000

<div> Acquisitions. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for acquired businesses, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The operating results generated by businesses acquired have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess purchase price of acquired businesses over fair values attributed to underlying net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets is recorded as goodwill. </div>

<div> Revenue Recognition. The Company earns revenue primarily under various types of service contracts. In all forms of service provided by the Company, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The various types of service contracts are described below: Monthly Fixed-Price Arrangements—Contracts in which the client agrees to pay a fixed fee every month over the specified contract term. A variation of a fixed-price arrangement is a square-foot arrangement, which consists of fixed monthly billings, less credits given to clients for vacant square footage that is not serviced. Cost-Plus Arrangements—Contracts for which the client pays for services received based on an agreed upon rate of wages and benefits, payroll taxes, insurance charges and other expenses, plus a profit percentage. Tag Services—Tag work generally represents supplemental services requested by clients outside of the standard service specification. Examples are cleanup after tenant moves, construction cleanup, flood cleanup, snow removal and extermination services. Fixed-Price Repair and Refurbishment Arrangements—Revenue is recognized on certain fixed-price repair and refurbishment contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting most often based on the cost-to-cost method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenues are recognized as the work progresses. The percentage of work completed is determined principally by comparing the actual costs incurred to date with the current estimate of total costs to complete. Under the percentage-of-completion method, recognition of profit is dependent upon the accuracy of a variety of estimates, including engineering progress, materials quantities, and achievement of milestones, incentives, labor productivity, cost estimates and others. Such estimates are based on various professional judgments made with respect to those factors and are subject to change as each project proceeds and new information becomes available. Revenue and gross profit are adjusted periodically for revisions in estimated total contract costs and values. Estimated losses are recorded when identified. At times, these types of contracts have multiple elements which are evaluated by separating the contracts into separate units of accounting for revenue recognition. The Company is required to allocate revenue based on the relative selling price of each element which qualifies as a unit of accounting, even if such deliverables are not sold separately by the Company or other vendors. Franchise Revenue—The Company franchises certain engineering services under the Linc Network, TEGG, CurrentSAFE and GreenHomes America brands through individual and area franchises. Initial franchise fees are recognized when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise agreement. Continuing franchise royalty fees are based on a percentage of the franchisees’ revenue, which is recognized in the period in which the revenue is reported to have occurred, or on a flat rate charged to franchisees, recognized as earned. Direct (incremental) costs related to new franchise sales for which the revenue has not been recognized are deferred until the related revenue is recognized. Costs related to continuing franchise royalty fees are expensed as incurred. Parking Reimbursement—The Company enters into managed locations arrangements within its Parking business whereby the Company manages the parking lot for the owner in exchange for a management fee. For these arrangements, revenues and expenses are passed through by the Company to the parking lot owner under the terms and conditions of the management location contract.

<div> Share-Based Compensation. Share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period) for awards expected to vest (considering estimated forfeitures). The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock and performance awards is determined based on the number of shares granted and the grant date fair value of the award. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Stock option exercises and restricted stock and performance award issuances are expected to be fulfilled with new shares of common stock. Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and is recognized ratably over the vesting term. </div>

<div> 3. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income per common share is net income divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, adjusted to include the assumed exercise and conversion of certain stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance shares.

<div> Recent Accounting Pronouncements In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-04 (“ASU 2012-04”), Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics and include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in ASU 2012-04 will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company will adopt ASU 2012-04 on February 1, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2012-04 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 (“ASU 2011-11”), Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This amendment requires disclosing and reconciling gross and net amounts for financial instruments that are offset in the balance sheet, and amounts for financial instruments that are subject to master netting arrangements and other similar clearing and repurchase arrangements. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will adopt ASU 2011-11 on November 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 will not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures. In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-05”), Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity. In addition, the new guidance requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income with the presentation of reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-12 (“ASU 2011-12”), Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which is an update to ASU 2011-05. This amendment indefinitely defers the guidance relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. ASUs 2011-05 and 2011-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt ASUs 2011-05 and 2011-12 on November 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of these new disclosure requirements to have a material impact on its disclosures or consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-08 (“ASU 211-08”), Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment, to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 allows entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If a greater than 50 percent likelihood exists that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, then a two-step goodwill impairment test as described in Topic 350 must be performed. The qualitative assessment is optional, allowing companies to go directly to the quantitative assessment. The guidance provided by this update becomes effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. This new standard will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2013. There will be no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation. </div>

<div> Contingencies and Litigation. A loss contingency is recorded as a liability when it is both: (1) probable or known that a liability has been incurred and (2) the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. If the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is recorded as a liability. If the Company believes that a loss in litigation is not probable, then no liability will be recorded. Expected costs of resolving contingencies, which include the use of third-party service providers, are accrued as the services are rendered. </div>

The plan provides participants, upon termination, with a guaranteed seven days pay for each year of employment subsequent to November 1, 1989. Effective January 1, 2002, no new participants were permitted under this plan.

Coverage commencing upon retirement or 62ndbirthday continues until death for retired employees hired before September 2, 1980. On March 1, 2003, the post-retirement death benefit for any active employees hired after September 1, 1980 was eliminated. Active employees hired before September 1, 1980 who retire on or after their 62nd birthday will continue to be covered between retirement and death. For certain plan participants who retired before March 1, 2003, the post-retirement death benefit continues until the retired employee’s 70th birthday. An exemption to the “age 62” retirement rule has been made for certain employees who were terminated as a result of the Company’s restructuring to a corporate shared service center. <p style="WIDOWS: 2; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; LETTER-SPACING: normal; FONT: 1px 'Times New Roman'; WHITE-SPACE: normal; ORPHANS: 2; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); WORD-SPACING: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px">   <p style="WIDOWS: 2; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; LETTER-SPACING: normal; FONT: medium 'Times New Roman'; WHITE-SPACE: normal; ORPHANS: 2; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); WORD-SPACING: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px" align="justify">OneSource Post-Retirement Medical and Life Benefit Plan. OneSource sponsored a post-retirement benefit plan that provides medical and life insurance benefits to certain OneSource retirees.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets represents the rate of earnings expected in the funds invested to provide for anticipated benefit payments. With input from the Company’s investment advisors and actuaries, the Company has analyzed the expected rates of return on assets and determined that an estimated long-term rate of return of 6.0% is reasonable based on: (1) the current and expected asset allocations; (2) the plan’s historical investment performance; and (3) best estimates for future investment performance. The obligation attributable to medical benefits is small, as is the future obligation that varies with changes in compensation. Accordingly, changes in the health care trend assumption rate and the compensation increase assumption have an immaterial impact on measuring the obligation. <p style="WIDOWS: 2; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; MARGIN-TOP: 12px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; LETTER-SPACING: normal; FONT: medium 'Times New Roman'; WHITE-SPACE: normal; ORPHANS: 2; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); WORD-SPACING: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px" align="justify">The investment objectives for the assets associated with the OneSource Pension Plan are to maintain acceptable levels of risk through the diversification of assets among asset classes and to optimize long-term returns.

<div> 6. AUCTION RATE SECURITIES  As of October 31, 2012, the Company holds investments in auction rate securities from four different issuers having an original principal amount of $5.0 million each (aggregating $20.0 million). These auction rate securities are debt instruments with stated maturities ranging from 2033 to 2050, for which the interest rate is designed to be reset through Dutch auctions approximately every 30 days. Auctions for these securities have not occurred since August 2007. At October 31, 2012 and 2011, the estimated fair value of these securities, in total, was approximately $17.8 million and $15.7 million, respectively. As of October 31, 2012, two of the Company’s auction rate securities, with an aggregate fair value of $7.8 million, were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and the remaining two auction rate securities, with a fair value of $10.0 million, were not in an unrealized loss position. As of October 31, 2011, three of the Company’s auction rate securities, with an aggregate fair value of $10.7 million, were in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than twelve months, and the remaining auction rate security, with a fair value of $5.0 million, was not in an unrealized loss position. The following table presents the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Company’s auction rate securities at October 31, 2012 and 2011: <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="76%" align="center">  <tr> <td width="42%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"></td> <td width="29%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"></td> <td width="23%"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> Assumption </td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" align="center"> October 31, 2012 </td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" align="center"> October 31, 2011 </td> </tr>  <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Discount rates </td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">L + 1.37% - L + 6.86%</td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">L + 3.21% - L + 17.50%</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Yields </td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">2.15%, L + 2.00% - L + 3.50%</td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">L + 2.00% - L + 3.50%</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Average expected lives </td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">4 - 10 years</td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">4 - 10 years</td> </tr> </table> L - One Month LIBOR The fair value of the auction rate securities is affected most significantly by the changes in the average expected lives of the securities, but is also impacted by the specific discount rate used to adjust the outcomes to their present values. If the average expected lives of the securities increase or decrease, the fair value of the securities will decrease or increase accordingly, in amounts that will vary, based on the timing of the projected cash flows and the specific discount rate used to calculate the present value of the expected cash flows. During the year ended October 31, 2012, the Company recorded an other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) credit loss of $0.3 million for one of its auction rate securities, driven primarily from a change in the expected values of cash flows to be received in the future.

<div> Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill. The Company reviews its intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, a recoverability test is performed comparing projected undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of an asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment is recorded for the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value, which is generally determined using discounted future cash flows. The Company’s intangible assets other than goodwill primarily consists of acquired customer contracts and relationships. Acquired customer relationship intangible assets are being amortized using the sum-of-the-years’-digits method over their useful lives, consistent with the estimated useful life considerations used in the determination of their fair values. The accelerated method of amortization reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the customer relationship intangible assets are expected to be realized. </div>

<div> Trade Accounts Receivable Allowances. Trade accounts receivable arise from services provided to the Company’s clients and are generally due and payable on terms varying from receipt of the invoice to net thirty days. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for losses on accounts receivable due to a client’s inability to pay. The allowance is typically estimated based on an analysis of the historical rate of credit losses or write-offs, specific client concerns and known or expected trends. Such analysis is inherently subjective. Changes in the financial condition of the Company’s clients or adverse developments in negotiations or legal proceedings to obtain payment could result in the actual loss exceeding the estimated allowance. The Company does not believe that it has any material exposure due to either industry or regional concentrations of credit risk. Further, no client accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues during the years ended October 31, 2012, 2011, or 2010. Sales allowance is an estimate for losses on client receivables resulting from client credits. Credits result from, among other things, client vacancy discounts, job cancellations and property damage. The sales allowance estimate is based on an analysis of the historical rate of sales adjustments (credit memos, net of re-bills) and considers known current or expected trends. Such analysis is inherently subjective. The Company’s earnings will be impacted in the future to the extent that actual credit experience differs from amounts estimated. </div>

<div> 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS  On November 1, 2012, the Company completed the acquisitions of Air Serv Corporation (“Air Serv”), HHA Services, Inc. (“HHA”) and Calvert-Jones Company, Inc. (“Calvert-Jones”). The Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Air Serv, a provider of integrated facility solutions services for airlines and freight companies at airports throughout the United States and United Kingdom, for a cash purchase price of $157.5 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. The Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of HHA, a provider of food and facility solutions services to hospitals, healthcare systems, long-term care facilities and retirement communities, for a cash purchase price of $34.0 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. The Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Calvert-Jones, a provider of mechanical and energy efficient products and solutions in the Washington, D.C. area, for a cash purchase price of $6.3 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. The Company used its Facility to fund these acquisitions. The accounting for these acquisitions was incomplete at the time the Financial Statements were issued. Accordingly, it is impracticable for the Company to make certain business combination disclosures such as the acquisition date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, assets or liabilities arising from contingencies, the amount of goodwill and intangibles acquired, and the amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes. </div>

<div> Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price of acquired businesses over fair values attributed to underlying net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets. We test the carrying value of goodwill for impairment at a “reporting unit” level (which for the Company is represented by each operating segment), using a two-step approach, annually as of August 1, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, this is an indicator that the goodwill assigned to that reporting unit may be impaired. In this case, a second step is performed to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if it had just been acquired in a business combination, and as if the purchase price was equivalent to the fair value of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is referred to as the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is then compared to the actual carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value is less than the carrying value, we would be required to recognize an impairment loss for that excess. </div>

<div> Income Taxes. The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. If management determines it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. The provision for income taxes is based on domestic (including federal and state) and international statutory income tax rates in the tax jurisdictions where the Company operates, permanent differences between financial reporting and tax reporting, and available credits and incentives. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions and tax positions. The Company may be challenged upon review by the applicable taxing authorities, and positions taken may not be sustained. All, or a portion of, the benefit of income tax positions are recognized only when the Company has made a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, based upon the technical merits of the position and other factors. For tax positions that are determined as more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination, the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The accounting for uncertain income tax positions requires consideration of timing and judgments about tax issues and potential outcomes, and is a subjective critical estimate. In certain circumstances, the ultimate outcome of exposures and risks involves significant uncertainties. If actual outcomes differ materially from these estimates, they could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense. The U.S Government is the Company’s most significant income tax jurisdiction. </div>

net nonrecurring favorable federal and state tax benefits recorded in the year ended October 31, 2012. These tax benefits included a $6.9 million re-measurement of certain unrecognized tax benefits and $1.9 million of additional employment based tax credits. Additionally, the effective tax rate decrease for the current year was offset by the expiration of employment based tax credits as of December 31, 2011 and an increase in certain state tax rates in jurisdictions where the Company operates.   The effective tax rate for the year ended October 31, 2011 is lower than the effective tax rate for the year ended October 31, 2010, primarily due to net nonrecurring favorable federal and state tax benefits recorded in the year ended October 31, 2011. These tax benefits included a $4.7 million re-measurement of certain unrecognized tax benefits based on new information available, which were partially offset by other discrete tax costs of $1.9 million, primarily related to the true-up of prior year estimated tax balances (including a reduction in previously anticipated employment based tax credits).

In the year ended October 31, 2011, the valuation allowance decreased through a reduction of the tax provision by $0.8 million for state net operating losses that became more-likely-than-not realizable based on updated assessments of future taxable income and increased by a goodwill adjustment of $0.3 million as a result of the acquisition of Linc. In the year ended October 31, 2010, $0.1 million of the increase in valuation allowance was charged to income tax expense for deferred tax assets that were not expected to be ultimately realized.   At October 31, 2012, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $88.4 million, all of which, if recognized in the future, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company includes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of October 31, 2012, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions of $1.1 million.

<div> Insurance Reserves. The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance plans to manage the potential liabilities for workers’ compensation, general liability, property insurance, automobile liability, health and welfare, and professional liabilities. Insurance claim liabilities represent the Company’s estimate of retained risks without regard to insurance coverage. Such risks consist of estimates of the loss that will ultimately be incurred on reported claims, as well as estimates of claims that have been incurred but not yet reported. With the assistance of external professionals, the Company periodically reviews its estimate of ultimate losses for all incurred claims and adjusts its required self-insurance reserves as appropriate. As part of this evaluation, the Company reviews the status of existing and new claim reserves as established by the external third-party claims administrators. The third-party administrators establish the case reserves based upon known factors related to the type and severity of the claims, legislative matters, and case law, as appropriate. The Company compares actual trends to expected trends and monitors claims development. The specific case reserves estimated by the third-party administrators are provided to an actuary who assists the Company in projecting an actuarial estimate of the overall ultimate losses for self-insurance, which includes the case reserves plus an actuarial estimate of reserves required for additional developments including “incurred but not reported” claim costs. The independent third-party’s actuarial point estimate of the reserves is reviewed by management and is recorded in the Company’s Financial Statements. In general, the Company’s reserves are recorded on an undiscounted basis. Self-insurance liabilities assumed in acquisitions are recorded at fair value and are accreted to their notional amount with non-cash charges to interest expense over the period that they are expected to be settled. The Company allocates current-year insurance expense to its operating segments based upon their underlying exposures while actuarial adjustments related to prior year claims are recorded within Corporate expenses. Claims are classified as current or long-term based on the expected settlement date. Estimated insurance recoveries related to recorded liabilities are reflected as current or long-term “recoverables” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets when we believe that the receipt of such amounts is probable. </div>

</table> Contingent rentals are applicable to leases of parking lots and garages and are primarily based on percentages of the gross receipts or other financial parameters attributable to the related

As of October 31, 2012, these surety bonds and letters of credit totaled approximately $297.5 million and $105.2 million, respectively. Included in the total amount of surety bonds is $40.4 million of bonds with an effective date starting after October 31, 2012.   Guarantees/Indemnifications The Company has applied the measurement and disclosure provisions outlined in the FASB guidance related to guarantor’s accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, including indirect guarantees of the indebtedness of others, included in ASC 460 Guarantees (ASC 460) to agreements that contain guarantee and certain indemnification clauses. ASC 460 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must disclose and recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under the guarantee. As of October 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any material guarantees. However, the Company is party to a variety of agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. Primarily, these agreements are standard indemnification arrangements entered into in its ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company may agree to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally its clients, in connection with any claims arising out of the services that the Company provides. The Company also incurs costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification arrangements, and in most cases these costs are paid from its insurance program. The terms of these indemnification arrangements are generally perpetual. Although the Company attempts to place limits on this indemnification reasonably related to the size of the contract, the maximum obligation may not be explicitly stated and, as a result, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these arrangements is not determinable. The Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws may require it to indemnify Company directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status as such and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any legal proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. The overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated; however, the Company believes that any loss under these obligations would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance, which has a deductible of up to $1.0 million. Contingencies The Company has been named a defendant in various proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including class actions and purported class actions. Litigation outcomes are difficult to predict and are often resolved over long periods of time. Estimating probable losses requires the analysis of multiple possible outcomes that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties. At October 31, 2012, the total amount accrued for all probable litigation losses where a reasonable estimate of the loss could be made was $8.0 million. The ultimate resolution of such matters is always uncertain and any such proceeding brought against the Company could have a material adverse impact on its financial condition and results of operations. The Company does not accrue for contingent losses that, in the judgment of the Company, are considered to be reasonably possible but not probable. Management currently estimates that the range of loss for all reasonably possible losses for which an estimate can be made is between $0.0 million and $104.0 million, including the possible $101.4 million impact of the Augustus case noted below. Factors underlying this estimated range of loss will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those matters for which the Company cannot reasonably estimate potential losses are not included within this estimated amount and, therefore, this estimated amount does not represent the Company’s maximum potential loss exposure. The Company is a defendant in a number of lawsuits, including but not limited to the following lawsuits related to alleged violations of federal and/or state wage-and-hour laws or allegations of sexual harassment, discrimination or retaliation:   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> the consolidated cases of Augustus, Hall and Davis v.

On February 8, 2012, the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment on the rest break claim, which sought damages in the amount of $103.1 million, and the Company filed a motion for decertification of the class. On July 6, 2012, the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County (the “Superior Court”) heard plaintiffs’ motion for damages on the rest break claim and the Company’s motion to decertify the class. On July 31, 2012, the Superior Court denied the Company’s motion and entered judgment in favor of plaintiffs in the amount of approximately $89.7 million. This amount did not include plaintiffs’ counsel’s fees. The Company filed a notice of appeal on August 29, 2012. The plaintiffs have filed three separate motions for attorneys’ fees, all of which are included in the range of loss for all reasonably possible losses noted above. One motion seeks attorneys’ fees from the common fund. The common fund refers to the approximately $89.7 million judgment entered in favor of the plaintiffs. The other two motions seek attorneys’ fees from the Company in an aggregate amount of $11.7 million. On October 12, 2012, the Company filed oppositions to the two fee motions seeking attorney’s fees from the Company. The Company strongly disagrees with the decisions of the Superior Court, and firmly believes that it has complied with applicable law. Bojorquez The Company is a defendant in the Bojorquez case. Plaintiff brought suit for sexual harassment, retaliation, and failure to prevent harassment and discrimination. On May 17, 2012, a jury awarded the plaintiff approximately $0.8 million in damages. The Company filed a notice of intent to appeal on October 11, 2012. On October 17, 2012, plaintiff filed an application for attorneys’ fees and costs with the San Francisco Superior Court seeking approximately $4.8 million in fees and expenses. Bucio The Bucio case is a purported class action involving allegations that the Company failed to track work time and provide breaks. On April 19, 2011, the trial court held a hearing on plaintiffs’ motion to certify the class. At the conclusion of that hearing, the trial court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify the class. On May 11, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a motion to reconsider, which was denied. The plaintiffs have appealed the class certification issues. The trial court stayed the underlying lawsuit pending the decision in the appeal. On August 30, 2012, the plaintiffs filed their appellate brief on the class certification issues. The Company filed its responsive brief on November 15, 2012. The Company expects to prevail in these ongoing cases. However, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurance in this regard. If the plaintiffs in one or more of these cases, or other cases, do prevail, the results may have a material effect on our financial position, or cash flows. Other During October 2011, the Company began an internal investigation into matters relating to compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Company’s internal policies in connection with services provided by a foreign entity affiliated with a former Linc joint venture partner. Such services commenced prior to the Linc Acquisition. As a result of the investigation, the Company caused Linc to terminate its association with the arrangement. In December 2011, the Company contacted the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission to voluntarily disclose the results of its internal investigation to date , and it is cooperating with the government’s investigation. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential liability, if any, related to these matters. However, based on the facts currently known, the Company does not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2012, the Company settled certain matters arising under a contract related to a prior divestiture and, in connection therewith, made a payment of $1.8 million to the other party to the contract primarily in exchange for a release from certain restrictive covenants.   </div>

<div> 16. SEGMENT INFORMATION  The Company has four reportable operating segments: Janitorial, Facility Solutions, Parking and Security. These reportable segments were determined based on the evaluation of business performance and allocation of resources by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).

<div> Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Authoritative guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques depending on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels:   Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets; and Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The authoritative guidance requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort. When available, the Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value and classify such items within Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, such as interest and currency rates and comparable transactions. Items valued using internally generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be inputs that are readily observable. If quoted market prices are not available, the valuation model used generally depends on the specific asset or liability being valued. Some assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, while other assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. See Note 5 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for the fair value hierarchy table and for details on how the Company measures fair value for financial assets and liabilities. </div>

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements present separately the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholder’s equity and comprehensive income of ABM. The consolidated financial statements of ABM are hereinafter referred to as the “Financial Statements”. We prepare our Financial Statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Financial Statements include the accounts of ABM and all of our controlled subsidiaries. Equity investments in which the Company does not have control, but which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally 20% to 50% ownership), are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain immaterial amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Company’s Financial Statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition. The Company earns revenue primarily under various types of service contracts. In all forms of service provided by the Company, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The various types of service contracts are described below: Monthly Fixed-Price Arrangements—Contracts in which the client agrees to pay a fixed fee every month over the specified contract term. A variation of a fixed-price arrangement is a square-foot arrangement, which consists of fixed monthly billings, less credits given to clients for vacant square footage that is not serviced. Cost-Plus Arrangements—Contracts for which the client pays for services received based on an agreed upon rate of wages and benefits, payroll taxes, insurance charges and other expenses, plus a profit percentage. Tag Services—Tag work generally represents supplemental services requested by clients outside of the standard service specification. Examples are cleanup after tenant moves, construction cleanup, flood cleanup, snow removal and extermination services. Fixed-Price Repair and Refurbishment Arrangements—Revenue is recognized on certain fixed-price repair and refurbishment contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting most often based on the cost-to-cost method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenues are recognized as the work progresses. The percentage of work completed is determined principally by comparing the actual costs incurred to date with the current estimate of total costs to complete. Under the percentage-of-completion method, recognition of profit is dependent upon the accuracy of a variety of estimates, including engineering progress, materials quantities, and achievement of milestones, incentives, labor productivity, cost estimates and others. Such estimates are based on various professional judgments made with respect to those factors and are subject to change as each project proceeds and new information becomes available. Revenue and gross profit are adjusted periodically for revisions in estimated total contract costs and values. Estimated losses are recorded when identified. At times, these types of contracts have multiple elements which are evaluated by separating the contracts into separate units of accounting for revenue recognition. The Company is required to allocate revenue based on the relative selling price of each element which qualifies as a unit of accounting, even if such deliverables are not sold separately by the Company or other vendors. Franchise Revenue—The Company franchises certain engineering services under the Linc Network, TEGG, CurrentSAFE and GreenHomes America brands through individual and area franchises. Initial franchise fees are recognized when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise agreement. Continuing franchise royalty fees are based on a percentage of the franchisees’ revenue, which is recognized in the period in which the revenue is reported to have occurred, or on a flat rate charged to franchisees, recognized as earned. Direct (incremental) costs related to new franchise sales for which the revenue has not been recognized are deferred until the related revenue is recognized. Costs related to continuing franchise royalty fees are expensed as incurred. Parking Reimbursement—The Company enters into managed locations arrangements within its Parking business whereby the Company manages the parking lot for the owner in exchange for a management fee. For these arrangements, revenues and expenses are passed through by the Company to the parking lot owner under the terms and conditions of the management location contract. The Company reports revenues and expenses, in equal amounts, for costs directly reimbursed from its managed parking lot clients. Such amounts totaled $305.7 million, $299.4 million and $231.5 million in the years ended October 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Trade Accounts Receivable Allowances. Trade accounts receivable arise from services provided to the Company’s clients and are generally due and payable on terms varying from receipt of the invoice to net thirty days. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for losses on accounts receivable due to a client’s inability to pay. The allowance is typically estimated based on an analysis of the historical rate of credit losses or write-offs, specific client concerns and known or expected trends. Such analysis is inherently subjective. Changes in the financial condition of the Company’s clients or adverse developments in negotiations or legal proceedings to obtain payment could result in the actual loss exceeding the estimated allowance. The Company does not believe that it has any material exposure due to either industry or regional concentrations of credit risk. Further, no client accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues during the years ended October 31, 2012, 2011, or 2010. Sales allowance is an estimate for losses on client receivables resulting from client credits. Credits result from, among other things, client vacancy discounts, job cancellations and property damage. The sales allowance estimate is based on an analysis of the historical rate of sales adjustments (credit memos, net of re-bills) and considers known current or expected trends. Such analysis is inherently subjective. The Company’s earnings will be impacted in the future to the extent that actual credit experience differs from amounts estimated. Energy Savings Guarantees. The Company offers certain clients guaranteed energy savings on installed equipment under certain contracts. The total energy savings guarantees were $45.6 million at October 31, 2012 and extend through 2026. The Company accrues for the estimated cost of guarantees when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant losses in connection with these guarantees and the Company does not expect significant future losses. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates. The Company owns non-controlling interests (generally 20% to 50%) in certain affiliated entities that predominantly provide facility solutions services to governmental and commercial clients, primarily in the United States and the Middle East. The net carrying amount of the investments in unconsolidated affiliates was $14.9 million at October 31, 2012. The Company accounts for such investments under the equity method of accounting. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable. The differences between the carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of equity method investments are recognized as an impairment loss when the loss is deemed to be other-than-temporary. Insurance Reserves. The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance plans to manage the potential liabilities for workers’ compensation, general liability, property insurance, automobile liability, health and welfare, and professional liabilities. Insurance claim liabilities represent the Company’s estimate of retained risks without regard to insurance coverage. Such risks consist of estimates of the loss that will ultimately be incurred on reported claims, as well as estimates of claims that have been incurred but not yet reported. With the assistance of external professionals, the Company periodically reviews its estimate of ultimate losses for all incurred claims and adjusts its required self-insurance reserves as appropriate. As part of this evaluation, the Company reviews the status of existing and new claim reserves as established by the external third-party claims administrators. The third-party administrators establish the case reserves based upon known factors related to the type and severity of the claims, legislative matters, and case law, as appropriate. The Company compares actual trends to expected trends and monitors claims development. The specific case reserves estimated by the third-party administrators are provided to an actuary who assists the Company in projecting an actuarial estimate of the overall ultimate losses for self-insurance, which includes the case reserves plus an actuarial estimate of reserves required for additional developments including “incurred but not reported” claim costs. The independent third-party’s actuarial point estimate of the reserves is reviewed by management and is recorded in the Company’s Financial Statements. In general, the Company’s reserves are recorded on an undiscounted basis. Self-insurance liabilities assumed in acquisitions are recorded at fair value and are accreted to their notional amount with non-cash charges to interest expense over the period that they are expected to be settled. The Company allocates current-year insurance expense to its operating segments based upon their underlying exposures while actuarial adjustments related to prior year claims are recorded within Corporate expenses. Claims are classified as current or long-term based on the expected settlement date. Estimated insurance recoveries related to recorded liabilities are reflected as current or long-term “recoverables” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets when we believe that the receipt of such amounts is probable. Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company presents the change in book cash overdrafts (i.e., negative book cash balances that have not been presented to the bank for payment) as cash flows from financing activities. Investments in Auction Rate Securities. The Company considers its investments in auction rate securities as “available for sale.” Accordingly, auction rate securities are presented at fair value with changes in fair value recorded within other comprehensive income (“OCI”), unless a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The credit loss component of an other-than-temporary decline in fair value is recorded in earnings in the period identified. The Company estimates the fair values utilizing a discounted cash flow model, which considers, among other factors, assumptions about: (1) the underlying collateral; (2) credit risks associated with the issuer; (3) contractual maturity; (4) credit enhancements associated with financial insurance guarantees, if any; and (5) assumptions about when, if ever, the security might be re-financed by the issuer or have a successful auction. Since there can be no assurance that auctions for these securities will be successful in the near future, the Company has classified its auction rate securities as long-term investments. The Company’s determination of whether its auction rate securities are other-than-temporarily impaired is based on an evaluation of several factors, circumstances, and known or reasonably supportable trends including, but not limited to: (1) the Company’s intent to hold the securities; (2) the Company’s assessment that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovering its cost basis; (3) expected defaults; (4) available ratings for the securities or the underlying collateral; (5) the rating of the associated guarantor (where applicable); (6) the nature and value of the underlying collateral expected to service the investment; (7) actual historical performance of the security in servicing its obligations; and (8) actuarial experience of the underlying re-insurance arrangement (where applicable), which in certain circumstances may have preferential rights to the underlying collateral. The Company’s determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment represents a credit loss is based upon the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows to be collected and the amortized cost basis of the security. Significant assumptions used in estimating the credit loss include: (1) default rates for the security and the mono-line insurer, if any (which are based on published historical default rates of similar securities and consideration of current market trends); and (2) the expected life of the security (which represents the Company’s view of when market efficiencies for securities may be restored). Adverse changes in any of these factors could result in additional declines in fair value and further other-than-temporary impairments in the future. See Note 6, “Auction Rate Securities,” for additional information. Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term (including renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date that the leasehold improvements are purchased). Depreciation and amortization is determined for financial reporting purposes by using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center">  <tr> <td width="90%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" align="center">Years</td> </tr>  <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Computer equipment and software </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center">3-5</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Machinery and other equipment </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center">3-5</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Buildings </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">25-40</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Furniture and fixtures </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center">5</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Transportation equipment </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" align="center">1.5-5</td> </tr> </table> Acquisitions. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for acquired businesses, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The operating results generated by businesses acquired have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess purchase price of acquired businesses over fair values attributed to underlying net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets is recorded asgoodwill. Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill. The Company reviews its intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, a recoverability test is performed comparing projected undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of an asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment is recorded for the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value, which is generally determined using discounted future cash flows. The Company’s intangible assets other than goodwill primarily consists of acquired customer contracts and relationships. Acquired customer relationship intangible assets are being amortized using the sum-of-the-years’-digits method over their useful lives, consistent with the estimated useful life considerations used in the determination of their fair values. The accelerated method of amortization reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the customer relationship intangible assets are expected to be realized. Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price of acquired businesses over fair values attributed to underlying net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets. We test the carrying value of goodwill for impairment at a “reporting unit” level (which for the Company is represented by each operating segment), using a two-step approach, annually as of August 1, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, this is an indicator that the goodwill assigned to that reporting unit may be impaired. In this case, a second step is performed to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if it had just been acquired in a business combination, and as if the purchase price was equivalent to the fair value of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is referred to as the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is then compared to the actual carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value is less than the carrying value, we would be required to recognize an impairment loss for that excess. Other Accrued Liabilities. Other accrued liabilities as of October 31, 2012 and 2011 primarily consist of employee benefits, dividends payable, loss contingencies, rent payable, and unclaimed property. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Authoritative guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques depending on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels: Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets; and Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The authoritative guidance requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort. When available, the Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value and classify such items within Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, such as interest and currency rates and comparable transactions. Items valued using internally generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be inputs that are readily observable. If quoted market prices are not available, the valuation model used generally depends on the specific asset or liability being valued. Some assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, while other assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. See Note 5 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for the fair value hierarchy table and for details on how the Company measures fair value for financial assets and liabilities. Share-Based Compensation. Share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period) for awards expected to vest (considering estimated forfeitures). The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock and performance awards is determined based on the number of shares granted and the grant date fair value of the award. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Stock option exercises and restricted stock and performance award issuances are expected to be fulfilled with new shares of common stock. Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and is recognized ratably over the vesting term. Advertising Costs. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and in operating expenses on our consolidated statements of income. Advertising expense was $2.6 million, $2.3 million, and $0.8 million for the years ended October 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Agencies. The Company records taxes on customer transactions due to governmental agencies as receivables and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Income Taxes. The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. If management determines it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. The provision for income taxes is based on domestic (including federal and state) and international statutory income tax rates in the tax jurisdictions where the Company operates, permanent differences between financial reporting and tax reporting, and available credits and incentives. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions and tax positions. The Company may be challenged upon review by the applicable taxing authorities, and positions taken may not be sustained. All, or a portion of, the benefit of income tax positions are recognized only when the Company has made a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, based upon the technical merits of the position and other factors. For tax positions that are determined as more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination, the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The accounting for uncertain income tax positions requires consideration of timing and judgments about tax issues and potential outcomes, and is a subjective critical estimate. In certain circumstances, the ultimate outcome of exposures and risks involves significant uncertainties. If actual outcomes differ materially from these estimates, they could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense. The U.S Government is the Company’s most significant income tax jurisdiction. Contingencies and Litigation. A loss contingency is recorded as a liability when it is both: (1) probable or known that a liability has been incurred and (2) the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. If the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is recorded as a liability. If the Company believes that a loss in litigation is not probable, then no liability will be recorded. Expected costs of resolving contingencies, which include the use of third-party service providers, are accrued as the services are rendered. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of (i) net income and (ii) other related gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net income. For the Company, such items consist primarily of unrealized gains and losses on auction rate securities, actuarial adjustments to pension and other post-retirement benefit plans, unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses, and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swaps, net of tax effects where appropriate. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-04 (“ASU 2012-04”), Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics and include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in ASU 2012-04 will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company will adopt ASU 2012-04 on February 1, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2012-04 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 (“ASU 2011-11”), Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This amendment requires disclosing and reconciling gross and net amounts for financial instruments that are offset in the balance sheet, and amounts for financial instruments that are subject to master netting arrangements and other similar clearing and repurchase arrangements. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will adopt ASU 2011-11 on November 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 will not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures. In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-05”), Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity. In addition, the new guidance requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income with the presentation of reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-12 (“ASU 2011-12”), Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which is an update to ASU 2011-05. This amendment indefinitely defers the guidance relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. ASUs 2011-05 and 2011-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt ASUs 2011-05 and 2011-12 on November 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of these new disclosure requirements to have a material impact on its disclosures or consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-08 (“ASU 211-08”), Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment, to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 allows entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If a greater than 50 percent likelihood exists that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, then a two-step goodwill impairment test as described in Topic 350 must be performed. The qualitative assessment is optional, allowing companies to go directly to the quantitative assessment. The guidance provided by this update becomes effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. This new standard will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2013. There will be no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation. </div>

The total intrinsic value of the shares exercised was $9.8 million, $6.7 million and $8.4 million for the years ended October 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The total fair value of shares that vested during the years ended October 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $8.2 million, $2.4 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The Company has various stock option and stock award plans which provide or provided for the issuance of one or more of the following to key employees and directors: nonqualified stock options, RSUs and performance shares. The Company’s share-based compensation and employee stock purchase plans are described below. Share-Based Compensation Plans 2006 Equity Incentive Plan On May 2, 2006, stockholders of the Company approved the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Equity Plan”). The 2006 Equity Plan was amended in March 2009 and 2012 to increase the total shares of common stock authorized for issuance to 10,279,265. At October 31, 2012, 2,420,058 shares of common stock were available for grant for future equity-based compensation awards under the plan. Prior to the adoption of the 2006 Equity Plan, equity awards were made under the Time-Vested Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Time-Vested Plan”), the 1996 Price-Vested Performance Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Price-Vested Plan”), and the 2002 Price-Vested Performance Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Price-Vested Plan” and the Executive Stock Option Plan, collectively with the Time-Vested Plan, the 1996 Price-Vested Plan and the 2002 Price-Vested Plan, the “Prior Plans”). No further grants can be made under the Prior Plans. The terms and conditions governing existing options under the Prior Plans will continue to apply to the options outstanding under those plans. The 2006 Equity Plan is an omnibus plan that provides for a variety of equity and equity-based award vehicles, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, performance shares, and other share-based awards. Shares subject to awards that terminate without vesting or exercise are available for future awards under the 2006 Equity Plan. Certain of the awards under the 2006 Equity Plan may qualify as “performance-based” compensation under the Internal Revenue Code.   The status of the stock options, RSUs and performance shares granted under the 2006 Equity Plan as of October 31, 2012 is summarized below. Stock Options Compensation expense for stock options is determined based on the grant date fair value of the award calculated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. Issued nonqualified stock options generally vest and become exercisable at a rate of 25% per year beginning one year after date of grant. However, terms of stock options can vary, and certain stock options granted on March 31, 2010 and January 10, 2011 will vest on the fifth anniversary of the award. Options expire seven years after the date of grant. Forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant based on historical forfeiture rates. The adjustment of the forfeiture rate may result in a cumulative adjustment in any period in which the forfeiture rate estimate is changed.

In general, the receipt of RSUs is subject to the Grantee’s continuing employment. RSUs granted to eligible employees generally vest with respect to 50% of the underlying award on the second and fourth anniversary of the award. RSUs granted to directors vest over three years. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the Grantee’s service period. RSUs are credited with dividend equivalent rights that are converted to RSUs at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the dates the dividend payments are made and are subject to the same terms and conditions as the underlying award. Performance shares granted prior to January 13, 2009 are credited with dividend equivalent rights that will be converted to performance shares at the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the dates the dividend payments are made and are subject to the same terms and conditions as the underlying award. Performance shares granted on or after January 13, 2009 are credited with dividend equivalent rights that will be converted to performance shares at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock beginning after the performance targets have been satisfied and are subject to the same terms and conditions as the underlying award.

The aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding and vested RSUs as of October 31, 2012 was $23.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Performance Shares Performance shares consist of a contingent right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock based on performance targets adopted by the Compensation Committee. The number of performance shares that will vest is based on pre-established financial performance targets and typically a three-year service and performance period. Vesting of 0% to 150% of the indicated shares may occur depending on the extent to which targets are achieved.

The cost is expected to be expensed ratably over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.41 years. These costs are based on estimated achievement of performance targets and estimated costs will be reevaluated periodically. The aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding and vested performance shares as of October 31, 2012 was $13.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively. During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Company determined that the financial performance targets, which were established in connection with certain performance share grants, were no longer probable of achievement. As a result, the Company reversed approximately $3.4 million ($2.0 million, net of taxes) of previously recorded share-based compensation expense. This adjustment was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Prior Plans Time-Vested Plan Under the Time-Vested Plan, the stock options become exercisable at a rate of 20% of the shares per year beginning one year after the date of grant and expire ten years plus one month after the date of grant. As of May 2, 2006, no further grants are authorized under this plan. 1996 and 2002 Price-Vested Plans The Company has two price-vested plans: (1) the 1996 Price-Vested Plan and (2) the 2002 Price-Vested Plan. The two plans are substantially similar as each plan has pre-defined vesting prices that provide for accelerated vesting. Under each form of stock option agreement, if at the end of four years any of the stock price performance targets are not achieved, then the remaining stock options vest at the end of eight years from the date the stock options were granted. There have been no grants under these plans since the year ended October 31, 2005, therefore the remaining outstanding stock options under these plans will vest on the eighth anniversary of the award. Stock options vesting during the first year following grant do not become exercisable until after the first anniversary of grant. The stock options expire ten years after the date of grant. As of May 2, 2006, no further grants are authorized under these plans. Executive Stock Option Plan (“Age-Vested Plan”) Under the Age-Vested Plan, options are exercisable for 50% of the shares when the stock option holders reach their 61st birthdays and the remaining 50% become exercisable on their 64th birthdays. To the extent vested, the stock options may be exercised at any time prior to one year after termination of employment. Effective as of December 9, 2003, no further grants may be made under the plan. The combined plan activity for the Time-Vested, Price-Vested and Age-Vested Plans in the year ended October 31, 2012 is summarized below:   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0"

</table> As of October 31, 2012, all outstanding shares under the Time-Vested and Price-Vested Plans are vested and exercisable. Total unrecognized compensation cost (net of estimated forfeitures) related to unvested stock options under the Age-Vested Plan at October 31, 2012 was $0.4 million. The cost is expected to be expensed ratably over a weighted-average vesting period of 7.26 years.   Employee Stock Purchase Plan On March 9, 2004, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan”). The 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was amended in March 2010 to increase the total shares of common stock authorized for issuance to 3,000,000. Effective May 1, 2006, the plan is no longer considered compensatory and the values of the awards are no longer treated as share-based compensation expense. Additionally, as of this date, the purchase price became 95% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock price on the last trading day of the month. Employees may designate up to 10% of their compensation for the purchase of stock, subject to a $25,000 annual limit. Employees are required to hold their shares for a minimum of six months from the date of purchase. The weighted average fair values of the purchase rights granted in the years ended October 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 under the new plan were $1.05, $1.16 and $1.03, respectively. During the years ended October 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, 200,108, 165,455 and 190,340 shares of stock were issued under the plan at a weighted average price of $19.93, $22.02 and $19.65, respectively. The aggregate purchases in the years ended October 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $4.0 million, $3.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively. At October 31, 2012, 737,271 shares remained unissued under the plan. </div>

The Credit Agreement provides for revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $650.0 million (the “Facility”). The Company, at its option, may increase the size of the Facility to $850.0 million at any time prior to the expiration (subject to receipt of commitments for the increased amount from existing and new lenders).

The applicable margin is a percentage per annum varying from 0.00% to 0.75% for base rate loans and 1.00% to 1.75% for eurodollar loans, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company also pays a commitment fee, based on the leverage ratio, payable quarterly in arrears, ranging from 0.225% to 0.300% on the average daily unused portion of the Facility.

For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the derivative’s mark-to-market gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions occur and affect earnings.

<div> Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates. The Company owns non-controlling interests (generally 20% to 50%) in certain affiliated entities that predominantly provide facility solutions services to governmental and commercial clients, primarily in the United States and the Middle East. The net carrying amount of the investments in unconsolidated affiliates was $14.9 million at October 31, 2012. The Company accounts for such investments under the equity method of accounting. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable. The differences between the carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of equity method investments are recognized as an impairment loss when the loss is deemed to be other-than-temporary. </div>

The Company records taxes on customer transactions due to governmental agencies as receivables and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.</div> <div> Insurance Reserves. The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance plans to manage the potential liabilities for workers’ compensation, general liability, property insurance, automobile liability, health and welfare, and professional liabilities. Insurance claim liabilities represent the Company’s estimate of retained risks without regard to insurance coverage. Such risks consist of estimates of the loss that will ultimately be incurred on reported claims, as well as estimates of claims that have been incurred but not yet reported. With the assistance of external professionals, the Company periodically reviews its estimate of ultimate losses for all incurred claims and adjusts its required self-insurance reserves as appropriate. As part of this evaluation, the Company reviews the status of existing and new claim reserves as established by the external third-party claims administrators. The third-party administrators establish the case reserves based upon known factors related to the type and severity of the claims, legislative matters, and case law, as appropriate. The Company compares actual trends to expected trends and monitors claims development. The specific case reserves estimated by the third-party administrators are provided to an actuary who assists the Company in projecting an actuarial estimate of the overall ultimate losses for self-insurance, which includes the case reserves plus an actuarial estimate of reserves required for additional developments including “incurred but not reported” claim costs. The independent third-party’s actuarial point estimate of the reserves is reviewed by management and is recorded in the Company’s Financial Statements. In general, the Company’s reserves are recorded on an undiscounted basis. Self-insurance liabilities assumed in acquisitions are recorded at fair value and are accreted to their notional amount with non-cash charges to interest expense over the period that they are expected to be settled. The Company allocates current-year insurance expense to its operating segments based upon their underlying exposures while actuarial adjustments related to prior year claims are recorded within Corporate expenses. Claims are classified as current or long-term based on the expected settlement date. Estimated insurance recoveries related to recorded liabilities are reflected as current or long-term “recoverables” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets when we believe that the receipt of such amounts is probable. </div> <div> Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of (i) net income and (ii) other related gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net income. For the Company, such items consist primarily of unrealized gains and losses on auction rate securities, actuarial adjustments to pension and other post-retirement benefit plans, unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses, and unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swaps, net of tax effects where appropriate. </div> <div> The following table presents the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Company’s auction rate securities at October 31, 2012 and 2011:   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="76%" align="center">  <tr> <td width="42%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"></td> <td width="29%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"></td> <td width="23%"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> Assumption </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" align="center"> October 31, 2012 </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" align="center"> October 31, 2011 </td> </tr>  <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Discount rates </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">L + 1.37% - L + 6.86%</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">L + 3.21% - L + 17.50%</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Yields </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">2.15%, L + 2.00% - L + 3.50%</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">L + 2.00% - L + 3.50%</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Average expected lives </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">4 - 10 years</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap" align="center">4 - 10 years</td> </tr> </table> </div> <div> <p style="WIDOWS: 2;

abm:Claim abm:Customer abm:Segment Not Applicable The expected life for options granted under the 2006 Equity Plan is based on observed historical exercise patterns of the previously granted options adjusted to reflect the change in vesting and expiration dates. The expected volatility is based on considerations of implied volatility from publicly traded and quoted options on the Company's common stock and the historical volatility of the Company's common stock. The dividend yield is based on the historical dividend yield over the expected term of the options granted. The risk-free interest rate is based on the continuous compounded yield on U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. Excludes assets of discontinued operations of $0.4 million, $2.2 million and $5.7 million as of October 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Refer to Note 4, "Acquisitions", for additional discussions regarding acquisitions the Company made in the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011. Amounts relate to the OneSource Pension Plan which is the only Company funded defined benefit pension plan. Effective November 1, 2010 the Company changed the management reporting responsibility for a subsidiary from the Janitorial segment to the Facility Solutions segment. As a result of the organizational change, the Company reclassified the goodwill associated with this subsidiary from the Janitorial segment to the Facility Solutions segment, which amounted to $2.9 million. This reclassification is reflected in all years presented.
