                   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, 1996 and September 30, 1995, the results of its operations for the
three and six months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and changes in cash flow for
the six months ended March 31, 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 $6,017,000 and $5,521,000 at March  31, 1996 and
September 30, 1995, respectively.

3.       Backlog: The backlog of uncompleted contracting work was approximately
$80,988,000 on contracts in force as of March 31, 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 $274,000 and $40,000
at March 31, 1996 and September_30, 1995, respectively.

4.        Cash: Cash balances at March 31, 1996 include approximately
$2,093,000 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 to
stockholders of record on February 1, 1996. The dividend amounted to $217,000.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

         Cash balances decreased from $3,863,000 at September 30, 1995 to
$3,442,000 at March 31, 1996. This decrease in cash of $421,000 consisted of
approximately $126,000 used by operating activities and $664,000 used by
investing activities. The decrease was offset by $369,000 provided by financing
activities.

         Cash used by operating activities consisted primarily of decreases in
accounts payable and accrued expenses aggregating $2,315,000. This change was
offset by net earnings from operating activities of $375,000, an increase in
billings in excess of costs and recognized profits on uncompleted contracts of
$509,000 and a decrease in receivables of $1,536,000. The increase in prepaid
expenses of $336,000 reflects primarily prepaid insurance premiums for the
fiscal 1996 year which were funded by a short-term note payable.

         Net cash provided by financing activities included a $425,000 increase
in borrowings under the Company's lines of credit and $638,000 under a short
term note to finance insurance premiums as mentioned above. These changes were
offset by repayments of long term debt and short term notes amounting to
$24,000 and $453,000, 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 $645,000 and an
increase in noncurrent notes receivable and other investments aggregating
$33,000.

         The Company's construction backlog amounted to approximately
$80,988,000 at March 31, 1996, of which approximately $50.5 million was in
California, $13.0 million was in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin, and $17.5
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 in the future. At March 31,
1996, there was $1,325,000 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.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (CONTINUED)



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Consolidated revenues decreased by 6.1% in the six month period ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to the prior year. The change in the six month
period results primarily from revenue decreases of approximately $2.7 million
from the Hawaii operations and $1.4 million from construction operations in
other western continental U. S. states. These decreases were partially offset
by a revenue increase in the California operations of $0.3 million. 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 $91,000 in the six month period ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to the previous period. Gross profits as a
percentage of revenue were 8.7% and 8.1% in the six month periods ended March
31, 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 six month period ended
March 31, 1996 increased by approximately $366,000 as compared to the previous
period. The change  reflects increases in compensation paid to employees as
well as the cost of additional project management and administrative staff,
together with related office support expenses, incurred since the prior period.

         Interest expense increased by $44,000 in the six month period ended
March 31, 1996 due primarily to increased utilization of the Company's lines of
credit as compared to the previous period.
