                   Amelco Corporation and Subsidiaries
                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


			
1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated 
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring 
adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as 
of March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994, the results of its operations  for 
the six months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 and the three months ended 
March 31, 1995 and 1994 and changes in cash flow for the six months ended 
March 31, 1995 and 1994.  These condensed financial statements should be read 
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes threto included in the 
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September, 1994.

2.   Retentions: Contract retentions which are collectible upon the owner's 
approval of contract performance on construction contracts are included under
receivables and amount  to $6,840,000 and $5,507,000 at March 31, 1995 and 
September 30, 1994, respectively.       
										
3.   Backlog:  The backlog of uncompleted contracting work was approximately 
$84,272,000 on contracts in force as of March 31, 1995, compared with 
$91,425,000 as of March 31, 1994, inclusive of the Company's proportionate 
share of contract backlog from joint ventures amounting to $1,724,000 at 
March 31, 1995 and $8,308,000 at March 31, 1994.
 
4.   Cash:  Cash balances at March 31, 1995 include approximately $1,229,000

                      Results of Operations



Capital Resources and Liquidity

Cash balances increased from $2,690,000 at September 30, 1994 to $3,122,000 
at March 31, 1995. This increase in cash of $432,000 consisted of 
approximately $575,000 provided from financing activities which was partially
offset by $56,000 used by operating activities and $87,000 used by investing 
activities.

Net cash used by operating activities resulted largely from payments on 
accounts payable and accrued expenses amounting to $3,193,000 and an increase
in costs and recognized profits in excess of billings on uncompleted 
contracts of $2,246,000. These uses of cash were partially offset by a 
decrease in accounts receivable of $3,468,000, a decrease in investment in 
joint ventures of $1,033,000 and an increase in billings in excess of costs 
and recognized profits of $793,000. In addition, prepaid expenses increased
by $326,000 consisting primarily of insurance premiums paid at policy 
inception.

Net cash provided by financing activities included $550,000 in borrowings 
under the Company's lines of credit and $540,000 under a short term note to 
finance insurance premiums. These changes were offset by repayments of long 
term debt and short term notes aggregating $371,000 and payment of a $144,000
cash dividend to stockholders on February 15, 1995. Net cash used by 
investing activities of $87,000 consisted primarily of capital expenditures 
of $88,000. 
	
The Company's construction backlog amounted to approximately $84,272,000 at 
March 31, 1995, of which approximately $67.7 million was in California, 
$9.1 million was in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin, and $7.5 million in other 
western continental U. S. states. The Company's revolving lines of credit  
aggregating $6,000,000 were renewed in March 1995.  At March 31, 1995, there 
was $550,000 borrowed under these lines of credit. Management believes that 
the present liquidity of the Company together with the availability of the
aforementioned lines of credit are adequate to provide the necessary working
capital to fund the Company's operations in the near future.

Consolidated working capital amounted to $11,018,000 at March 31, 1995  as 
compared to $10,551,000 at September 30, 1994.  The working capital ratio 
increased slightly from 1.42 at September 30, 1994 to 1.48 at  March 31, 1995.

                          (continued)

Results of Operations

 Consolidated revenues increased by 24.8% and 23.9% in the three and six months
periods ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
The change in the six month period includes a revenue increase of approximately
$14.2 million from the California operations which was partially offset by 
revenue decreases of $1.6 million from the Hawaii operations and $0.6 million 
from other western continental  U.S. states. The change in California revenues 
is largely a result of the increased construction backlog obtained in the 
second half of fiscal 1994. Changes in revenue volume reflect primarily the 
degree of success in bidding on new work as well as the scheduling 
requirements of the customer, and are not necessarily indicative of revenue 
volume or profitability in future periods.

 Gross profits increased by $49,000 in the three months period ended March 31, 
1995 and by $425,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 1995. Gross 
profits as a percentage of revenue were 7.9% and 8.1% in the three and six
month periods ended March 31, 1995 as compared to 9.7% and 9.2% in the three 
and six month period ended March 31, 1994. The decrease results from a 
combination of the continued highly competitive conditions in the construction
market and the Company's focus on the procurement of larger projects as a 
prime contractor. Management's ability to enhance profit margins in its 
business is largely limited to its ability to identify profitable bidding
opportunities, estimate accurately during the bidding stage and upon award,
to effectively manage jobsite performance.

 General and administrative expenses for the six month period increased from 
$3,901,000 in 1994 to $4,070,000 in 1995. The change is primarily 
attributable to increases in management, estimating and administrative 
staffing costs.

 Interest expense increased by $16,000 and $26,000 in the three and six 
months periods ended March 31, 1995.  The increase results primarily from 
higher short term interest rates in 1995 as compared to the previous period.
