REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Participants of

Baker 401(k) Plan

Moon Township, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Baker 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2012 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2012 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

BAKER 401(k) PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

1.	Description of the Plan

General

The following description of the Baker 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides all eligible employees of Michael Baker Corporation and subsidiaries (“the Company”) with an opportunity to accumulate additional retirement benefits as well as invest in the Company’s stock. The Plan is subject to provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Full-time employees are eligible to join the Plan immediately upon the date of hire. Part-time and temporary employees are required to work 1,000 hours, during their first year of employment or any calendar year thereafter, before becoming eligible to join the plan.

Change in Participants Related to Divestiture and Acquisition

On October 3, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of RBF Consulting (“RBF”). Effective August 31, 2012, approximately 808 RBF participants were transferred into the Plan, with approximately $94.6 million in RBF 401(k) Plan assets transferred into the Plan on September 4, 2012.

On May 3, 2010, the Company entered into a SPA to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of The LPA Group Incorporated and substantially all of its subsidiaries and affiliates (“LPA”). Effective January 1, 2011, approximately 460 LPA participants were transferred into the Plan, with approximately $28.0 million in LPA 401(k) plan assets transferred into the Plan on January 3, 2011.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of the Company’s contributions and Plan earnings and charged with an allocation of plan losses and certain administrative fees. Allocations are based on 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 participant’s vested account.

Contributions

Participants contribute to the Plan through a Section 401(k) Employee Salary Redirection Election. During 2012 and 2011, participants were able to choose to contribute up to the lower of 75 percent of their salaries (including commissions and overtime) or the annual limitation of $17,000 and $16,500, respectively, which was established by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The maximum amount of a participant’s salary, which may be eligible for withholding for any Plan year, could not exceed $250,000 and $245,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Plan also allows participants to roll over funds from a previous employer’s tax-qualified plan or tax-qualified individual retirement account. All employees who are eligible to make deferred contributions under this Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the plan year shall be eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with and subject to the limitations established by the IRS.

Company Matching Contributions

For all of 2012 and from January 1, 2011 through May 15, 2011, under provisions of the Plan, the Company made matching contributions to the participants’ accounts in the amount of 100 percent of the first 3 percent of eligible salary and 50 percent on the next 3 percent of eligible salary (including commissions but excluding overtime) contributed by each participant. As part of a cost reduction program implemented by the Company during 2011, beginning on May 16, 2011 and ending on December 31, 2011, the Company’s incremental 50 percent match on the next 3 percent of eligibly salary was temporarily suspended. The Company continued to make a matching contribution to participants’ accounts in the amount of 100 percent of the first 3 percent of eligible salary.

Of the Company’s matching contributions, 25 percent was invested in the Company’s common stock in 2012 and 2011. The remaining 75 percent was invested in accordance with the participant’s investment elections for participant contributions. Once a participant becomes fully vested in the Company’s matching contributions, the balance will be invested in accordance with the participant’s investment elections.

The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to make additional discretionary contributions to the Plan. No discretionary contributions were made for 2012 or 2011.

Vesting

Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. All amounts in the participants’ Plan accounts that are attributable to the transfer of funds from a previously terminated retirement plan, the rollover from a previous employer’s tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account, dividends paid on Company stock and participant contributions are 100 percent vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

All of the Company’s matching and discretionary contributions, adjusted for any related net gains or losses, will become 100 percent vested upon attainment of three years of service with the Company or earlier, upon attainment of normal retirement date, disability or death. If a participant ceases employment with the Company before attaining a vested interest in the Company’s matching contributions, adjusted for any related net gains or losses, he or she will forfeit those contributions and those contributions will be used to reduce the Company’s future matching contributions. Forfeitures of the Company’s discretionary contributions by employees ceasing employment with the Company before attaining a vested interest are reallocated to the remaining participants.

Distributions

The Plan provides for distribution of benefits upon retirement, total and permanent disability, death, or termination of employment for any other reason. The amount of distributions that a participant, or his or her beneficiary is entitled to, is based on the vesting requirements discussed above. All distributions will be made in the form of a single, lump-sum distribution or in substantially equal annual, bi-annual or monthly installments over a period not exceeding ten years. In the case of termination, if the participant’s account is $5,000 or less, the participant’s account shall be paid in a lump sum, without the participant’s consent, as soon as practicable. For participant accounts invested in the Company’s common stock, distributions may be made in cash and/or shares of common stock, at the discretion of the participant. As a one-time option, participants may apply for a withdrawal of up to 50 percent of their vested account balance for certain limited situations qualifying as financial hardships under IRS guidelines in effect at the time of the withdrawal. Participants who have attained age 59-1/2 may withdraw all or part of his or her capital accumulation from the Plan in a lump sum. The minimum in-service withdrawal amount is the lesser of $2,500 or the balance of the Participant’s capital accumulation.

Notes Receivable from Participants

A participant may borrow money from the portion of his or her account attributable to his or her own 401(k) plan contributions and vested employer contributions. The participant is allowed one outstanding loan that may be obtained for any reason. Loan amounts shall not exceed the lesser of: (a) the greater of $10,000 or 50 percent of the participant’s vested account balance, including rollovers, (b) $50,000 adjusted for pre-existing loans settled in the last 12 months, or (c) such amount as may be determined by the Plan administrator. All loans will be drawn against the participant’s account among the respective investment options as directed, and are secured by the assets within the participant’s accounts. The maximum term of a loan shall be 5 years, unless the loan is used to acquire, construct, reconstruct or substantially rehabilitate any dwelling unit which within a reasonable time is to be used as the principal residence of the Participant, in which case the maximum term of the loan shall be fifteen years. Interest rates applicable to Plan loans are typically the Prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus one percent, at the time the loan is made. Interest rates may be capped for certain Plan participants on military leave. Principal and interest payments are paid ratably and are generally repaid by payroll deduction. Interest rates on outstanding notes receivable ranged from 4.25 percent to 10.50 percent as of December 31, 2012.

Transfers

Transfers occur when the Company acquires a new business and the existing assets of the plan(s) of the acquired company are legally moved into the Plan.

Forfeited Accounts

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $356,706 and $754,132, respectively. Forfeited non-vested account balances are used to reduce future employer matching contributions. Also in 2012 and 2011, employer contributions were reduced by $549,395 and $575,480, respectively, as a result of forfeited non-vested accounts. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, forfeiture credit balances totaled $20,802 and $221,030, respectively. The forfeiture credit balance will be used to reduce future employer contributions.

Common Stock

The Plan enables participating employees to acquire an equity interest in the Company; as such, contributions to the Plan can be invested in the Company’s common stock. The Plan’s investment in the Company’s common stock comprised 1,017,778 shares (cost of $18,978,387) and 957,578 shares (cost of $17,236,285) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Participants have the ability to divest themselves of the Company’s common stock acquired via the Company’s matching contributions after they are vested.

Plan Administration and Fees

Effective January 1, 2012 recordkeeping responsibilities for the Plan were transferred from Fidelity to T. Rowe Price. The Company provides certain administrative and accounting services to the Plan at no cost. In addition, the Company pays the cost of services provided to the Plan by legal counsel, independent financial consultants and the independent registered public accounting firm. Certain distribution processing and management fees charged by T. Rowe Price are deducted from the respective participant account balances and are recorded within total investment income/(loss) in the Plan’s financial statements. T. Rowe Price withholds reserves at a flat percentage that is applied to each funds current-period gain/(loss) activity and uses that balance to cover the administrative management fees charged by T. Rowe Price, if that balance is a loss or is otherwise insufficient to cover those fees, the Company would pay the additional costs.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

Effective January 1, 2012, recordkeeping and trustee responsibilities for the Plan were transferred from Fidelity to T. Rowe Price. Fidelity performed the recordkeeping and trustee function for the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2011. The financial statements included herein include all required adjustments to reflect the financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Investments

Investments of the Plan are stated at fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price).

Mutual funds and the common collective trust represent investments with various investment managers. The respective fair values of these investments are determined by reference to the funds’ underlying assets, which are principally marketable equity and fixed income securities. Shares held in mutual funds traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the net asset value as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Units held in the common collective trust are valued at the unit value as reported by the investment manager as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Redemption of units is recorded upon receipt of unit holder’s instructions, based on the next determined net asset value per unit, normally each day.

The investment in the Company’s common stock is stated at publicly-traded closing market values as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. The Plan’s assets included approximately 11 percent and 10 percent of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively; therefore, such valuation might be subject to significant fluctuations in the event of a substantial liquidation of such holdings by the Plan or due to other market fluctuations.

The difference between the cost and current market value of investments purchased since the beginning of the period as well as the decrease or increase in the stated market value of investments held at the beginning of the period is included in the caption, “Net appreciation/(depreciation) in fair value of investments” in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Contributions

Employee and employer contributions are recorded in the period during which the Company makes payroll deductions from Plan participants’ earnings. After approval by the Board of Directors of Michael Baker Corporation, discretionary contributions are accrued in the period that they are earned.

Distributions

Distributions to participants are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident.

Concentration of Risk

Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with these investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of these investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Recent Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements, to improve consistency in the application of fair value measurement and disclosures between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and clarified existing fair value disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption not permitted. The Plan adopted this standard in 2012 which did not materially impact the Plan’s financial statements.

3.	Investments

The following table presents the fair value of investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plan’s net assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

*Net assets available for benefits, end of year*	$	25,373,212		$	18,779,035

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Plan held 29,338 and 30,162 shares of non-vested Michael Baker Corporation common stock, respectively. These non-vested shares were valued at $731,403 and $591,475 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

4.	Tax Status

The IRS has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated December 10, 2008, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). On September 30, 2009, the Plan made clarifying amendments as part of the favorable tax determination letter process. The Plan administrator and the Plan’s counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements. In 2012, the Plan’s tax determination letter expired; as such in January 2012 the Plan filed with the IRS for an updated determination letter and its status with the IRS is considered “in process”.

U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan had no liabilities recorded as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 of uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009.

5.	Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed an intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

6.	Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined under FASB as the exit price associated with the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under FASB guidelines must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In addition, the FASB establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

— Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Plan’s investments with active markets include its investment in the common stock of Michael Baker Corporation, as well as its investments in mutual funds which are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. For these items, quoted current market prices are readily available.

— Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Plan has concluded that the investment in the T. Rowe Price U.S. Treasury Money Market Trust and in the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund, both common collective trusts, represent Level 2 investments, which are valued by their respective brokers based upon net assets of the respective common collective trusts.

— Level 3 — Unobservable inputs (i.e. projections, estimates, interpretations, etc.) that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Plan has concluded that it has no Level 3 investments.

While the Plan believes its valuation methods used to assess the classification of financial instruments within the hierarchy are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions could result in a change in a financial instruments fair value tier from year to year. In such instances, a transfer would be reported at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The following tables represent the Plan’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:
