2009 Year in Review
Scott Keim, P.G., PresidentIt is hard to believe 2009 is now history, and we are now in the third month of 2010. Last year certainlypresented many challenges as both coal and natural gas prices bottomed out and impacted many of ourlong-standing clients. The world economy slumped, and the business environment was as difficult as I haveseen in my nearly 30 years with MM&A.The MM&A staff viewed these challenges as an opportunity to create new genres of services andcapitalized on the economic changes. We expanded our project offerings and accepted new challenges thatincreased company revenue. The graph below shows MM&A growth trends and total revenue, which haveincreased nearly every year since our founding in 1975.The revenue increase resulted from our continued traditional offerings and the expansion of engineeringand scientific services to the mining, unconventional gas production, transportation, energy, governmental,financial, and legal sectors. We continued our participation in the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE)carbon capture and storage research project, augmented our role in the Metro Washington Airport Authorityproject linking Dulles and Reagan National airports, enlarged our international project footprint, andcontinued to place an emphasis on our core energy and environmental clients. Besides working in everycoal basin in the United States during 2009, MM&A worked in South America, Asia, and Europe.(continued on following page)
