DYCOM INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Unaudited

1. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Dycom Industries,
Inc. ("Dycom" or the "Company") as of January 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, and
the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and
six months ended January 29, 2000 and January 31, 1999 and the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended January 29, 2000
and January 31, 1999 reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such statements. The
results of operations for the three and six months ended January 29, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire
year.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- The condensed consolidated financial statements
are unaudited. These statements include Dycom Industries, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. During fiscal 1999, the Company
acquired Locating, Inc. ("LOC"), Ervin Cable Construction, Inc. ("ECC"), Apex
Digital TV, Inc. ("APX"), and Triple D Communications, Inc. ("DDD"). During
fiscal 2000, the Company acquired Lamberts' Cable Splicing Company ("LCS"), C-2
Utility Contractors, Inc. ("C-2"), and Artoff Construction Company, Inc.
("ACC"). Each of these transactions was accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting. The Company's results include the results of LOC, ECC, APX, DDD,
LCS, C-2, and ACC from their respective acquisition dates until January 29,
2000. See Note 4.

The Company's operations consist primarily of providing specialty contracting
services to the telecommunications and electrical utility industries. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR -- On September 29, 1999, the Company changed to a fiscal
year with 52 or 53 week periods ending on the Saturday nearest July 31. This
Quarterly Report presents financial information for the first and second

operations for the quarter ended January 31, 1999. The unaudited results of
operations and cash flows of the Company for the six months ended January 29,
2000 contain 182 days compared to 184 days for the unaudited results of
operations and cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 1999.

USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such
differences may be material to the financial statements.

Estimates are used in the Company's revenue recognition of work-in-process,
allowance for doubtful accounts, self-insured claims liability, depreciation and
amortization, and in the estimated lives of assets, including intangibles.

RECLASSIFICATIONS -- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order
to conform to current year presentation.

REVENUE -- Income on short-term contracts is recognized as the related work is
completed. Work-in-process on unit contracts is based on management's estimate
of work performed but not billed. Income on long-term contracts is recognized on
the percentage-of-completion method based primarily on the ratio of contract
costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs. At the time a loss on
a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is
accrued.

"Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings" represents the excess of
contract revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method of
accounting for long-term contracts and work-in-process on unit contracts over
billings to date. For those contracts in which billings exceed contract revenues
recognized to date, such excesses are included in the caption "billings in
excess of costs and estimated earnings."

CASH AND EQUIVALENTS -- Cash and equivalents include cash balances on deposit in
banks, overnight repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit, commercial
paper, and various other financial instruments having an original maturity of
three months or less. For purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of
cash flows, the Company considers these amounts to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES -- Inventories consist primarily of materials and supplies used to
complete certain of the Company's long-term contracts. The Company values these
inventories using the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically
reviews the appropriateness of the carrying value of its inventories. The
Company records a reserve for obsolescence if inventories are not expected to be
used in the Company's normal course of business. No reserve has been recorded in
the periods presented.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT -- Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation
and amortization is computed over the estimated useful life of the assets
utilizing the straight-line method. The estimated useful service lives of the
assets are: buildings--20-31 years; leasehold improvements--the term of the
respective lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is
shorter; vehicles--3-7 years; equipment and machinery--2-10 years; and furniture
and fixtures--3-10 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred;
expenditures that enhance the value of the property or extend its useful life
are capitalized. When assets are sold or retired, the cost and related
accumulated

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is
included in income.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS -- The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value
of the tangible net assets of acquired businesses (goodwill) is amortized on a
straight-line basis over 20-40 years. The appropriateness of the carrying value
of goodwill is reviewed periodically by the Company at the subsidiary level. An
impairment loss is recognized when the projected future cash flows are less than
the carrying value of goodwill. No impairment loss has been recognized in the
periods presented.

Amortization expense was $1,799,275 and $83,741 for the six months ended January
29, 2000 and January 31, 1999, respectively. The intangible assets are net of
accumulated amortization of $4,272,220 at January 29, 2000 and $2,472,945 at
July 31, 1999.

SELF-INSURED CLAIMS LIABILITY -- The Company retains the risk, up to certain
limits, for automobile, general liability, workers' compensation, and employee
group health claims. A liability for unpaid claims and the associated claim
expenses, including incurred but not reported losses, is actuarially determined
and reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements as an accrued
liability. The self-insured claims liability includes incurred but not reported
losses of $5,610,747 and $4,860,659 at January 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999,
respectively. The determination of such claims and expenses and the
appropriateness of the related liability is continually reviewed and updated.

INCOME TAXES -- The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal
income tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the
Company's assets and liabilities.

PER SHARE DATA -- Earnings per common share-basic is computed using the
weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per
common share-diluted is computed using the weighted-average common shares
outstanding during the period and the dilutive effect of common stock options,
using the treasury stock method. See Note 3.

STOCK SPLITS -- On December 14, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a 3-for-2
split of the Company's common stock, effected in the form of a stock dividend
paid on January 4, 1999 to stockholders of record on December 23, 1998. On
January 20, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a 3-for-2 split of the
Company's common stock, effected in the form of a stock dividend paid on
February 16, 2000 to stockholders of record on February 2, 2000. All agreements
concerning stock options provide for the issuance of additional shares due to
the declaration of the stock split. An amount equal to the par value of the
common shares issued plus cash paid in lieu of fractional shares was transferred
from capital in excess of par value to the common stock account. All references
to number of shares and to per share information have been adjusted to reflect
the stock split on a retroactive basis.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -- In June 1998, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" which establishes standards for the accounting and reporting of
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 which
deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 by one year to periods beginning
after June 15, 2000. Management is currently evaluating the requirements and
related disclosures of SFAS No. 133.

</TABLE>

On April 27, 1999, the Company signed an amendment to its bank credit agreement
increasing the total facility to $175.3 million and extending the facility's
maturity to April 2002. The amended bank credit agreement provides for (i) a
$17.5 million standby letter of credit facility, (ii) a $50.0 million revolving
working capital facility, (iii) a $12.8 million five-year term loan, and (iv) a
$95.0 million equipment acquisition and small business purchase facility. The
Company is required to pay an annual non-utilization fee equal to 0.15% of the
unused portion of the revolving working capital and the equipment acquisition
and small business purchase facilities. In addition, the Company pays annual
agent and facility commitment fees of $15,000 and $135,000, respectively.

The Company had total outstanding standby letters of credit of $13.7 million at
January 29, 2000, including letters of credit issued to the Company's insurance
administrators as part of its self-insurance program of $13.4 million and
miscellaneous letters of credit of $0.3 million.

The revolving working capital facility bears interest, at the option of the
Company, at the bank's prime interest rate minus 1.125% or LIBOR plus 1.25%. As
of January 29, 2000, there was no outstanding balance on this facility resulting
in an available borrowing capacity of $50 million.

The outstanding loans under the equipment acquisition and small business
purchase facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, at the bank's
prime interest rate minus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 1.5%. The advances under the
equipment acquisition and small business purchase facility are converted to term
loans with maturities not to exceed 48 months. The outstanding principal on the
equipment term loans is payable in monthly installments through February 2001.
As of January 29, 2000, there was no outstanding balance on this facility
resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $71.1 million. The available
borrowing capacity on this non-revolving facility has been reduced due to prior
borrowings which have been repaid in full.

The outstanding principal under the term loan bears interest at the bank's prime
interest rate minus 0.50% (7.94% at January 29, 2000). Principal and interest is
payable in semiannual installments through April 2003. The amount outstanding on
the term loan was $10.8 million at January 29, 2000.

The amended bank credit agreement contains restrictions which, among other
things, requires maintenance of certain financial ratios and covenants,
restricts encumbrances of assets and creation of indebtedness, and limits the
payment of cash dividends. Cash dividends are limited to 50% of each fiscal
year's after-tax profits. No cash dividends were paid during the periods
presented. At January 29, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all financial
covenants and conditions.

All obligations under the amended credit agreement are unconditionally
guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries and secured by a security interest in
certain property and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

In addition to the borrowings under the amended bank credit agreement, certain
subsidiaries have outstanding obligations under capital leases and other
equipment financing arrangements. The obligations are payable in monthly
installments expiring at various dates through September 2000.

Interest costs incurred on notes payable, all of which were expensed during the
three months ended January 29, 2000 and January 31, 1999 were $256,961 and
$316,530, respectively. Interest costs for the six months ended January 29, 2000
and January 31, 1999 were $465,728 and $665,080, respectively.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The federal employment tax returns for one of the Company's subsidiaries are
currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). As a result of
the audit, the Company received an examination report from the IRS in October
1999 proposing a $6.1 million tax deficiency. At issue, according to the
examination report, is the taxpayer's payment of certain employee allowances for
the years 1995 through 1997 without reporting such payment as wages on the
employees' W-2 Forms. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position in
this matter and believes it has a number of legal defenses available to it which
would significantly reduce or possibly eliminate the proposed tax deficiency,
although there can be no assurance in this regard. Additionally, the Company
believes that the ultimate disposition of this matter will not have a material
adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In the normal course of business, certain subsidiaries of the Company have
pending and unasserted claims. It is the opinion of the Company's management,
based on the information available at this time, that these claims will not have
a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

REVENUES. Contract revenues increased $61.7 million, or 63.8%, to $158.4 million
in the quarter ending January 29, 2000 from $96.7 million in the quarter ended
January 31, 1999. Of this increase, $56.4 million was attributable to specialty
contracting services provided to telecommunications companies, $1.3 million was

underground utility locating services in the quarter ended January 29, 2000 as
compared to $9.5 million in the quarter ended January 31, 1999, an increase of
100%. Acquisitions subsequent to January 31, 1999 contributed $55.3 million of
contract revenues during the quarter ended January 29, 2000.

Contract revenues from multi-year master service agreements and other long-term
agreements represented 83.2% of total contract revenues in the six months ended
January 29, 2000 as compared to 88.1% in the quarter ended January 31, 1999, of
which contract revenues from multi-year master service agreements represented
49.6% of total contract revenues in the six months ended January 29, 2000 as
compared to 47.3% in the six months ended January 31, 1999.

COSTS OF EARNED REVENUES. Costs of earned revenues increased $46.2 million to
$119.7 million in the quarter ended January 29, 2000 from $73.5 million in the
quarter ended January 31, 1999, but decreased as a percentage of contract
revenues from 76.0% to 75.6%.

Costs of earned revenues increased $86.0 million to $240.6 million in the six
months ended January 29, 2000 from $154.6 million in the six months ended
January 31, 1999, and increased as a percentage of contract revenues to 75.4%
from 75.3%.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
increased $4.4 million to $12.8 million in the quarter ended January 29, 2000
from $8.4 million in the quarter ended January 31, 1999. The increase in general
and administrative expenses for the quarter ended January 29, 2000, as compared
to the quarter ended January 31, 1999, was primarily attributable to increases
in salaries, employee benefits, and payroll taxes of $2.1 million, legal and
professional fees of $0.2 million, and other general and administrative expenses
of $1.5 million and an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts of $0.6
million. General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of

compared to the quarter ended January 31, 1999.

General and administrative expenses increased $6.5 million to $26.0 million in
the six months ended January 29, 2000 from $19.5 million in the six months ended
January 31, 1999. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the
quarter ended January 29, 2000, as compared to the quarter ended January 31,
1999, was primarily attributable to increases in salaries, employee benefits,
and payroll taxes of $4.4 million, legal and professional fees of $0.7 million,
and other general and administrative expenses of $2.4 million offset by a
reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.0 million. The change in
the provision for doubtful accounts includes a reduction in the Company's
provision of $0.3 million during the six months ended January 29, 2000. General
and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of contract revenues to
8.1% from 9.5% in the six months ended January 29, 2000 as compared to the six
months ended January 31, 1999.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased $2.9
million to $7.0 million in the quarter ending January 29, 2000 as compared to
$4.1 million in the quarter ended January 31, 1999, and increased as a
percentage of contract revenues to 4.4% from 4.3%. The increase in amounts
reflects the depreciation of additional capital expenditures incurred in the
ordinary course of business and the amortization of goodwill related to
acquisitions made in fiscal 1999 and 2000.

Depreciation and amortization increased $6.0 million to $14.1 million in the six
months ending January 29, 2000 as compared to $8.1 million in the six months
ended January 31, 1999, and increased as a percentage of contract revenues to
4.4% from 4.0%. The increase in amounts reflects the depreciation of additional
capital expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of business and the
amortization of goodwill related to acquisitions made in fiscal 1999 and 2000.

INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes was $7.9 million in the three
months ended January 29, 2000 as compared to $4.5 million in the same period
last year. The Company's effective tax rate was 39.8% in the three months ended
January 29, 2000 as compared to 40.4% in the same period last year. The
effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate due to state income taxes,
the amortization of intangible assets that do not provide a tax benefit, and
other non-deductible expenses for tax purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's needs for capital are attributable primarily to its needs for
equipment to support its contractual commitments to customers and its needs for
working capital sufficient for general corporate purposes. Capital expenditures
have been financed by operating and capital leases, bank borrowings and internal
cash flow. To the extent that the Company seeks to grow by acquisitions that
involve consideration other than Company stock, the Company's capital
requirements may increase, although the Company is not currently subject to any
commitments or obligations with respect to any acquisitions. The Company's
sources of cash have historically been from operating activities, equity
offerings, bank borrowings, and from proceeds arising from the sale of idle and
surplus equipment and real property.

For the six months ended January 29, 2000, net cash provided by operating
activities was $28.1 million compared to $24.3 million for the six months ended
January 31, 1999. Net income and non-cash charges are the primary sources of
operating cash flow. Working capital items used $10.5 million of operating cash
flow for the six-month period ended January 29, 2000 principally through an
increase in unbilled revenues, accrued self-insurance claims, and other
liabilities, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable and other assets,
income taxes payable, and customer advances.

In the six months ended January 29, 2000, net cash used in investing activities
was $47.0 million as compared to $26.0 million for the same period last year.
For the six months ended January 29, 2000, capital expenditures of $20.3 million
were for the normal replacement of equipment and purchases for the start up of
certain long-term contracts.

In August 1998, the Company purchased a 13.0% equity interest in Witten
Technologies, Inc. ("Witten") for $3.0 million. Witten has developed, and is the
owner of, various proprietary technologies and materials relating to
ground-penetrating radar and the use of other electromagnetic frequencies. In
addition to the equity received, the Company has acquired an exclusive license
to market certain technologies within the United States and Canada. The
Company's investment in Witten is being accounted for using the equity method of
accounting.

On August 2, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
LCS for $10.0 million in cash and 73,309 shares of Dycom's common stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $12.4 million before various transaction costs.
Located in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, LCS's primary business is the
construction and maintenance of telecommunications systems under master service
agreements. On January 4, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
common stock of C-2 for $18.0 million in cash and 247,555 shares of Dycom's
common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25.2 million before various
transaction costs. Located in Eugene, Oregon, C-2's primary business is the
construction and maintenance of telecommunications systems under master service
agreements. On January 4, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
common stock of ACC for $2.2 million in cash and 30,081 shares of Dycom's common
stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3.0 million before various transaction
costs. Located in Gold Hill, Oregon, C-2's primary business is the construction
and maintenance of telecommunications systems.

In the six months ended January 29, 2000, net cash provided from financing
activities was $0.1 million, which was primarily attributable to the proceeds
from the exercise of stock options net of principal payments on long-term notes.

On April 27, 1999, the Company signed an amendment to its bank credit agreement
increasing the total facility to $175.3 million and extending the facility's
maturity to April 2002. The amended bank credit agreement provides for (i) a
$17.5 million standby letter of credit facility, (ii) a $50.0 million revolving
working capital facility, (iii) a $12.8 million five-year term loan, and (iv) a
$95.0 million equipment acquisition and small business purchase facility. The
Company is required to pay an annual non-utilization fee equal to 0.15% of the
unused portion of the revolving working capital and the equipment acquisition
and small business purchase facilities. In addition, the Company pays annual
agent and facility commitment fees of $15,000 and $135,000, respectively.

The Company had total outstanding standby letters of credit of $13.7 million at
January 29, 2000, including letters of credit issued to the Company's insurance
administrators as part of its self-insurance program of $13.4 million and
miscellaneous letters of credit of $0.3 million.

The revolving working capital facility bears interest, at the option of the
company, at the bank's prime interest rate minus 1.125% or LIBOR plus 1.25%. As
of January 29, 2000, there was no outstanding balance on this facility resulting
in an available borrowing capacity of $50.0 million.

The outstanding loans under the equipment acquisition and small business
purchase facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, at the bank's
prime interest rate minus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 1.50%. The advances under the
equipment acquisition and small business purchase facility are converted to term
loans with maturities not to exceed 48 months. The outstanding principal on the
equipment term loans is payable in quarterly installments though February 2001.
There were no amounts outstanding on the equipment acquisition and small
business purchase




                                       19

facility at January 29, 2000, resulting in an available borrowing capacity of
$71.1 million. The available borrowing capacity on this non-revolving facility
has been reduced due to prior borrowings which have been repaid in full.

The outstanding principal under the term loan bears interest at the bank's prime
interest rate minus 0.50% (7.94% at January 29, 2000). Principal and interest is
payable in semiannual installments through April 2003. The amount outstanding on
the term loan was $10.8 million at January 29, 2000.

The amended bank credit agreement requires the Company to maintain certain
financial covenants and conditions, as well as restricting the encumbrances of
assets and the creation of additional indebtedness and limits the payment of
cash dividends. No cash dividends were paid during the periods presented. At
January 29, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and
conditions under the credit agreement.

The Company believes its capital resources, together with existing cash
balances, to be sufficient to meet its financial obligations, including the
scheduled debt payments under the amended bank credit agreement and operating
lease commitments, and to support the Company's normal replacement of equipment
at its current level of business for at least the next twelve months. The
Company's future operating results and cash flows may be affected by a number of
factors including the Company's success in bidding on future contracts and the
Company's continued ability to effectively manage controllable costs.


Special Note Concerning Forward Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the Notes to Condensed Financial
Statements and this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, contains forward looking statements. The words
"believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intends", "forecast", "project", and
similar expressions identify forward looking statements. Such statements may
include, but may not be limited to, the anticipated outcome of contingent
events, including litigation, projections of revenues, income or loss, capital
expenditures, plans for future operations, growth and acquisitions, financial
needs or plans and the availability of financing, and plans relating to services
of the Company, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. Such forward
looking statements are within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.

YEAR 2000 - The Company did not experience any significant year 2000 related
problems. The total cost of addressing year 2000 issues was approximately $2
million.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company considered the provision of Financial Reporting Release No. 48
"Disclosure of Accounting Policies for Derivative Financial Instruments and
Derivative Commodity Instruments, and disclosure of Quantitative and Qualitative
Information about Market Risk Inherent in Derivative Financial Instruments,
Other Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments." The Company
had no holdings of derivative financial or commodity instruments at January 29,
2000. A review of the Company's other financial instruments and risk exposures
at that date revealed that the Company had exposure to interest rate risk. At
January 29, 2000, the Company performed sensitivity analyses to assess the
potential effect of this risk and concluded that near-term changes in interest
rates should not materially affect the Company's financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.
