QUANTA SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the
acquisition by Quanta Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Quanta" or the
"Company") of Northern Line Layers, Inc. which was acquired subsequent to
December 31, 1998 as if it had occurred on December 31, 1998. The unaudited pro
forma combined statement of operations give effect to this transaction as if it
had occurred on January 1, 1998.
The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, available
information and certain assumptions that Quanta's management deems appropriate
and may be revised as additional information becomes available. The pro forma
financial data do not purport to represent what Quanta's financial position or
results of operations would actually have been if the acquisition of Northern
Line Layers, Inc. in fact had occurred on those dates and are not necessarily
representative of Quanta's financial position or results of operations for any
future period. Since the acquired company was not under common control or
management during the period covered by the pro forma financial statements,
historical combined results may not be comparable to, or indicative of, future
performance. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the other financial statements and notes thereto
included elsewhere in this filing, as well as information included in Quanta's
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Northern Line Layers, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Northern Line Layers,
Inc., a Montana corporation, as of December 31, 1998, and the related combined
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Northern Line
Layers, Inc., as of December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted

NORTHERN LINE LAYERS, INC.
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:
Northern Line Layers, Inc. (Northern), a Montana Subchapter S Corporation,
is primarily engaged in the installation of telephone fiber optic lines and
buried cables in the continental United States. Northern performs a majority of
its contract work under fixed-price and unit-price contracts, with contract
terms generally ranging from six to 18 months.
Lakota Iron Company, LLC (Lakota), a Montana limited liability company, is
composed primarily of assets and related liabilities that are leased to Northern
for use in its business. Both Northern and Lakota are under common control and
ownership. In December 1998, Northern acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Lakota through the exchange of 2,700 shares of Northern common stock. For
accounting purposes, the combination was treated as an exchange of interests in
companies under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.
Hereinafter, Northern and Lakota will be referred to as "the Company."
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Combination
The accompanying financial statements include the combined accounts and
results of operations of Northern and Lakota. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the
specific identification of accounts receivable where collection is no longer
deemed probable and an allowance based upon the level of total accounts
receivable balances.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the
lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation and
amortization expense was $647,545 for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when
incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the
useful lives of existing equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon
retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or
loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Noncompete Agreement
In January 1995, the Company repurchased 7,000 shares from a former
stockholder of the Company at a fair value of $240,000 and recorded the shares
at cost in treasury. In connection therewith, the Company entered into a
five-year noncompete agreement with the former stockholder for $200,000, which
is being paid over five years. The noncompete agreement is being amortized over
its useful life using the straight-line method. Accumulated amortization at
December 31, 1998, was $156,667. The noncompete agreement is included in other
assets in the accompanying combined balance sheet at December 31, 1998.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, except when
work is being performed under a fixed-price contract. Such contracts generally
provide that the customer accept completion of progress
F-12
<PAGE> 17
NORTHERN LINE LAYERS, INC.
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
to date and compensate the Company for services which have been rendered,
measured typically in terms of units installed, hours expended or some other
measure of progress. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the
percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to
date to total estimated costs for each contract. Contract costs include all
direct material, labor and subcontract costs and those indirect costs related to
contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and
depreciation costs. Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted
contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in
job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability and final contract
settlements may result in revisions to costs and income, and their effects are
recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to retainage
provisions in fixed-price contracts will be due upon completion of the contracts
and acceptance by the customer. Based on the Company's experience with similar
contracts in recent years, the retention balance at each balance sheet date will
be collected within the subsequent fiscal year.
The current asset "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts" represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts
billed. The current liability "Billings in excess of costs and estimated
earnings on uncompleted contracts" represents billings in excess of revenues
recognized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and long-term obligations. The Company believes that the
carrying value of these instruments on the accompanying combined balance sheet
approximates their fair value.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected S Corporation status as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code, whereby the Company is not subject to taxation for federal
purposes. Under S Corporation status, the stockholders report their shares of
the Company's taxable earnings or losses in their personal tax returns. The
Company terminated its S Corporation status concurrently with the effective date
of its acquisition by Quanta (see Note 10).
Collective Bargaining Agreements
The Company is a party to various collective bargaining agreements with
certain of its employees. The agreements require the Company to pay specified
wages and provide certain benefits to its union employees. These agreements
expire in 1999.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions by
management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reference is made to the
"Revenue Recognition" section of this footnote for discussion of certain
estimates reflected in the Company's financial statements.

6. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
During 1998, the Company had greater than 10 percent of total sales to
three customers, which accounted for 19 percent, 49 percent and 17 percent,
respectively, of the Company's revenues. Approximately 27 percent, 59 percent
and zero percent of trade and retainage receivables at December 31, 1998, are
due from each of these customers, respectively.
The Company grants credit, generally without collateral, to its customers,
which include real estate operators, general contractors and state and
regulatory agencies located throughout the continental United States.
Consequently, the Company is subject to potential credit risk related to changes
in business and economic factors within these areas. However, management
believes that its contract acceptance, billing and collection policies are
adequate to minimize the potential credit risk.
7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
During 1998, a note receivable was recorded for a loan to a relative of the
stockholders. The balance at December 31, 1998, was $95,148 and is reflected in
other receivables in the accompanying December 31, 1998, combined balance sheet.
Subsequent to year-end, the note receivable was collected. During 1998, the
Company wrote off a note receivable from a former stockholder of the Company for
$61,598 when it was deemed uncollectible. Such amount is recorded in selling,
general and administrative expenses in the accompanying combined statement of
operations.
The Company leases buildings, land and other equipment from affiliates of
the Company in which some of the stockholders hold common ownership.
Related-party rent expense for the year ended December 31, 1998, was $103,000.
8. LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT:
During 1996, the Company owned a 50 percent interest in a joint venture
formed to perform a construction project in New Mexico. The joint venture was
accounted for on the equity basis, and the Company's investment in the joint
venture was $424,487 at December 31, 1997. The contract was completed in 1996,
and during the course of the project the job was shut down for an extended
length of time due to customer delays. As a result, the joint venture incurred
significant damages, including idle crew time, and filed litigation against the
customer for damages during 1997. In September 1998, the joint venture reached a
settlement with the customer. In connection therewith, the Company received
approximately $425,000 representing the Company's equity investment balance in
the joint venture and approximately $416,000 representing liquidating damages.
The liquidating damages are included in other income in the accompanying
combined statement of operations.

including workers' compensation, business auto liability, general liability and
an umbrella policy.

Prior to the closing of the transaction discussed above, the Company
distributed approximately $3.8 million to stockholders. The distribution
consisted of cash and in kind assets of $3.6 million and $0.2 million,
respectively. The Company funded the cash portion of the distribution through
