            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 June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, the results
of its  operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996  and 
1995 and changes in cash flow for the nine  months ended  June  30,  1996  
and 1995. These condensed  financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the  financial statements  and  notes  thereto included  in  the  
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995.

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  $6,460,000 and $5,521,000 
at June 30,  1996  and September 30, 1995, respectively.

3.    Backlog:  The backlog of uncompleted contracting  work was  
approximately $65,697,000 on contracts in force  as  of June  30,  1996 , 
compared with $87,661,000 as of  September 30, 1995, inclusive of the 
Company's proportionate share  of contract  backlog from joint ventures 
amounting  to  $54,000 and  $40,000  at  June  30,  1996 and  September  30, 
 1995, respectively.

4.      Cash:  Cash  balances  at  June  30,  1996   include approximately   
$2,216,000  in  restricted   time   deposits maintained in lieu of retention 
which will be released  upon completion  of  the related construction 
projects.  Interest income on these deposits are credited to the Company.

5.     Dividends: A $0.15 per share dividend was paid on February  15, 1996

        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                                 and
                         Results of Operations
                              
                              
                              
Capital Resources and Liquidity
      
      Cash  balances increased from $3,863,000 at  September 30,  1995  
to  $3,885,000 at June 30, 1996. The increase  in cash of $22,000 consisted 
of approximately $370,000 used  by operating   activities  and  $791,000  
used   by   investing activities.  The decrease was offset by $1,183,000  
provided by financing activities.

      Cash  used by operating activities consisted primarily of  decreases  
in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses aggregating  $2,897,000.  
This  change  was  offset  by  net earnings  from operating activities of 
$553,000, an increase in  billings  in excess of costs and recognized  
profits  on uncompleted  contracts  of  $1,080,000  and  a  decrease  in
receivables of $625,000.

      Net  cash provided by financing activities included  a $1,200,000 
increase in borrowings under the Company's  lines of  credit,  $638,000 
borrowed under a short  term  note  to finance  insurance  premiums and a  
$281,000  mortgage  note obtained  to  finance the purchase of a  dwelling  
unit   to house  certain construction project personnel. These changes
were  offset by repayments of long term debt and short  term notes  
amounting to $37,000 and $682,000, respectively,  and the  payment  of a 
dividend to shareholders of  $217,000  in February,  1996.  Net  cash  used  
by  investing  activities consisted  primarily  of capital expenditures  of  
$846,000, which  included the purchase of  real property as  discussed
previously,  which amounted to approximately  $363,000,  and various   
construction  equipment  acquired   for   specific construction projects 
presently in progress.

       The   Company's  construction  backlog  amounted   to approximately  
$65,697,000  at  June  30,  1996,  of   which approximately $39.1 million 
was in California, $10.6 million was  in  Hawaii and the Pacific Basin, and 
$16.0 million  in other  continental  U.  S. states. The  Company's  revolving
lines of credit which were renewed in March 1996, have  been increased  from 
$6,000,000 to $7,000,000, under terms  which are  unchanged from those 
previously in effect. These  short term  credit  facilities  were  increased 
to  enhance   the Company's ability to engage in new bidding opportunities. 
At June  30,  1996, there was $2,100,000 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 term future.

Results of Operations

      Consolidated revenues decreased by 6.1%  in  the  nine month  period 
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to  the  prior year.  The change in the nine 
month period results primarily from  revenue  decreases of approximately 
$0.3 million  from the  California  operations, $3.5 million  from  the  Hawaii
operations and $1.9 million from construction operations  in other western 
continental U.S. states. These  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 $440,000 in the nine month period ended  
June  30, 1996 as compared to the  previous period.  Gross profits as a 
percentage of revenue were  8.9% and  7.9% in the nine month periods ended 
June 30, 1996  and 1995,  respectively.  The change in gross  margins  reflects
improved  margins  on  construction work  performed  in  the current  period 
in both the California and Hawaii  markets. The  Company  continues  to  
experience  highly  competitive conditions in the commercial and industrial  
construction market.  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 nine month period  ended  
June  30,  1996  increased  by  approximately $839,000 as compared to the 
previous  period.  The  change results  primarily  from increases in 
compensation  paid  to employees as compared to the prior period, and the  
cost  of additional  management, estimating and administrative  staff at the 
office and field level, together with related support expenses.

     Interest expense increased by $56,000 in the nine month period  ended  
June  30,  1996 due  primarily  to  increased utilization of the Company's 
lines of credit as compared  to the  previous period. Other income increased 
by $67,000  due primarily to an increase in interest income.
