Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Administrator of
Comfort Systems USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Comfort Systems USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Plan as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003 were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 16, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2004, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of delinquent participant contributions for the year ended December 31, 2004, and assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, are presented for the purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Eligibility
Employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of each quarter coincident with or following their date of hire. Participants become eligible to receive the Companys discretionary matching contribution after the completion of one year of service, as defined by the Plan.
Contributions
Participants may elect to defer a percentage of their compensation during the plan year which is defined in the Plan and subject to the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Participants may also contribute amounts representing rollover distributions from other qualified plans.
6
The Company may make a discretionary matching contribution to the Plan in an amount equal to a percentage determined by the Company. Effective May 1, 2003, the Company temporarily suspended the Company match for all highly compensated employees, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), until January 1, 2004 when these contributions were reinstated. Additional discretionary contributions may be made at the option of the Company. No additional discretionary contributions were made for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Certain participants whose services are covered by the federal, state, or municipal prevailing wage law or the Davis Bacon Act, as amended, receive Company prevailing wage law profit-sharing contributions.
Participants direct the investment allocation of all contributions.
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contribution, the Company discretionary matching contribution, if any, and allocations of (a) the Companys additional discretionary contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on the participant earnings or account balances, as defined by the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and the prevailing wage law profit-sharing contributions made on behalf of eligible participants plus actual earnings thereon. Participants are 100% vested in Company discretionary contributions plus earnings upon attainment of age 59½, death, or disability. Participants whose service terminates prior to age 59½ for reasons other than retirement, death, or disability are eligible to receive vested Company discretionary contributions, if any, and interest thereon based on years of continuous service. A participant is 20% vested in Company discretionary contributions after one year and an additional 20% for each year thereafter.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, less the participants highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding 12 months. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account. The loan term may not exceed five years, except for loans used for the purchase of a principal residence, which may be repaid in up to ten years. The interest rate is fixed at the time of borrowing and shall be a reasonable rate of interest as determined by the plan administrator. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. Participant loans were $3,172,960 and $2,787,079 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
7
Payment of Benefits
On termination of service due to death, disability, or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participants vested interest in his or her account, or annual installments over a ten-year period. For termination of service for other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures occur when a participant terminates employment before becoming 100% vested with respect to their Company discretionary contributions. Forfeitures shall be used to reduce future Company discretionary contributions or to pay administrative expenses of the Plan. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $161,868 and $96,590, respectively. During 2004 and 2003, Company discretionary contributions were reduced by $1,495 and $282,946 from forfeited nonvested accounts, respectively. During 2004 and 2003, administrative expenses of $101,078 and $56,916 were paid from forfeited nonvested accounts, respectively. During January 2005, the Company funded approximately $209,000 of the employer contribution receivable at December 31, 2004 from forfeited nonvested accounts.
Administrative Expenses
Certain administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their account balances.
2. Summary of Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared on an accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Benefits
Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.
8
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation
Effective October 1, 1998, the Plan entered into a group annuity contract with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CGLIC), a CIGNA Corporation company (CIGNA). Effective April 1, 2004, Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (PRIAC), a company of Prudential Financial Inc. (Prudential), assumed all obligations and liabilities under the CGLIC group annuity contract. This assumption is the result of Prudentials acquisition of CIGNAs retirement operations. The contract includes the Prudential (formerly CIGNA) Guaranteed Income Fund, which is invested in Prudentials general portfolio and is recorded at contract value, which approximates fair value. The Guaranteed Income Fund does not have a maturity date or penalties for early withdrawals. Participant-directed transfers among investment options and distributions will normally be made immediately; however, Prudential may exercise its contractual right to defer a transfer or distribution from the Guaranteed Income Fund. It has seldom been necessary for Prudential to invoke this deferral provision. The rate of credited interest for any period of time will be determined by PRIAC and is guaranteed for six-month periods (January 1 through June 30 and July 1 through December 31). The average yield for PRIAC and CIGNA was approximately 2.93% and 2.88% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The crediting interest rate (i.e., the rate at which interest was accrued to the contract balance) for PRIAC and CIGNA was 3.10% and 3.00% as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The contract also includes investments in pooled separate accounts, which were stated at fair value as determined by PRIAC and CGLIC at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, based on the quoted market values of the underlying assets in the separate accounts. Common stock is stated at fair value based on quotations obtained from national securities exchanges. Participant loans are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

3. Investments
As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plans trustee was Prudential Bank & Trust, FSB and CIGNA Bank & Trust Company, FSB, respectively. Individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plans net assets are as follows:

4. Income Tax Status
The Plan obtained its determination letter subsequent to year end on April 1, 2005, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as designed, is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the IRC). The plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and operating in compliance with the requirements of the IRC.
5. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investments in common stock, pooled separate accounts, and a group annuity contract. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and participant account balances.
6. Party-in-Interest Transactions
The Plan invests in various PRIAC pooled separate accounts, a company of Prudential. These investments are considered party-in-interest transactions because Prudential Bank & Trust, FSB, a company of Prudential, serves as trustee of the Plan. The Plan management has approved these investment options.
The Plan also invests in the Companys common stock. Transactions in Company stock are considered party-in-interest transactions because the Company is the Plan sponsor.
