4 - Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS
No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
activities. This standard is effective for years beginning after June
15, 2000. The Company believes the implementation of this pronouncement
will not have a material impact on the Company's reported financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
5. Segment Reporting
(Dollars in thousands)
The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information", during the fourth quarter of 1998.
SFAS No. 131 established standards for reporting information about
operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports
issued to stockholders. Operating segments are defined as components of
an enterprise about which separate financial information is available
that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or
decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not affect
results of operations or financial position, but did affect the
disclosure of segment information.
The Company is engaged primarily in two segments: infrastructure
services and commercial/industrial construction. The accounting
policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies except that the
financial results have been prepared using a management approach. This
approach is consistent with the basis and manner in which management
internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of
assisting in making internal operating decisions and is exclusive of
corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, net interest
expense and other income. Identifiable assets include all assets
directly identified with the reportable segments including retentions,
accounts receivable, property, equipment and costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Corporate
assets include cash, deferred tax assets, and other assets that are
corporate in nature.

Part I Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
for the Three and Nine Months Ending September 30, 1999
Results of Operations
Revenue for the three and nine month periods was $122.3 million and
$348.1 million compared to $122.3 million and $342.6 million in 1998.
Revenues for the infrastructure segment increased 19.1% over the prior
year primarily due to increased volume of work with alliance partners.
Commercial/industrial revenues were flat compared to the prior year
after excluding the 1998 revenues from the major hotel and casino
project in Las Vegas, NV that was completed in late 1998.
Gross profit for the three and nine month periods was $15.0 million and
$41.5 million, compared to $12.2 million and $32.2 million in 1998.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 12.3% and 11.9% for the
three and nine month periods, compared to 10.0% and 9.4% in 1998. The
1999 three and nine month period gross profit percentages increased
primarily due to continued strong performance in the infrastructure
services business, improved productivity in the commercial/industrial
group, and the completion of a relatively low margin, cost-plus fixed-
fee hotel and casino project in Las Vegas, Nevada in late 1998. The
1999 three month period gross profit percentage also increased due to
lower insurance costs as a result of favorable safety experience.
Revenue and gross profit comparisons from quarter to quarter and
comparable quarters of different periods may be impacted by variables
beyond the control of the Company. Such variables include unusual or
unseasonable weather and delays in receipt of construction materials on
projects where the materials are provided to the Company by its
clients. The different mix of the Company's work from period to period
can impact the gross margin percentage. As the percentage of revenue
derived from projects in which the Company supplies materials
increases, the gross profit percentage will generally decrease. As the
percentage of revenue derived from cost-plus work increases, margins
may also decrease since this work involves lower financial risk.
Finally, since the Company's revenues are derived principally from
providing construction labor services, insurance costs, particularly
for workers' compensation, are a significant factor in the Company's
contract cost structure. Fluctuations in insurance reserves for claims
under retrospective rated insurance programs can have a significant
impact on gross margins, either upward or downward, in the period in
which such insurance reserve adjustments are made.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine
month periods were $8.6 million and $26.0 million, compared to $8.1
million and $22.1 million in 1998. The increase reflects increased
training related costs associated with new management development
programs, higher professional fees, costs related to additional
personnel, and higher incentive compensation accruals on improved
profit levels in comparison to the prior year.
<PAGE>
Net interest expense for the three and nine month periods was $168,000
and $684,000 compared to $589,000 and $1,579,000 in 1998. This
decrease was primarily due to lower average outstanding bank debt
levels in 1999 due to the reduced retention receivable balances on the
major hotel and casino project in Las Vegas, NV and strong operating
results generating positive cash flows.
Gain on sale of property and equipment for the three and nine month
periods was $561,000 and $742,000, compared to $226,000 and $500,000 in
1998. The gains reflect sales and disposals in our continuing efforts
to modernize the equipment fleet.
Other expense for the three and nine month periods was $21,000 and
$93,000, compared to other income of $29,000 and $1,000 in 1998. Other
income/expense consisted primarily of cash discounts, offset by bank
fees.
Income tax expense for the three and nine month periods was $2.7
million and $6.2 million, compared to $1.5 million and $3.6 million in
1998. As a percentage of income, the effective rate was 40% in 1999
and 1998.
The Company's backlog at September 30, 1999 was $171.8 million,
compared to $140.1 million at December 31, 1998, and $135.1 million at
September 30, 1998. Substantially all the current backlog will be
completed within twelve months and approximately 60% will be completed
by December 31, 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In September 1999, the Company renegotiated the revolving credit
facility with its banks. The new terms increased the capacity to a $30
million revolver and provides more favorable terms. As of September
30, 1999, there was $6.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit
facility. The Company has outstanding letters of credit with Banks
totaling $1.9 million. The Company anticipates that its credit
facility, cash balances and internally generated cash flows will
continue to be sufficient to fund operations, capital expenditures and
debt service requirements. The Company is also confident that its
financial condition will allow it to meet long-term capital
requirements.
In March 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase
of up to 750,000 shares of its common stock. In 1999 and 1998,
purchases under the prior stock repurchase program totaled 144,808 and
19,494 shares at a cost of $1,492,000 and $248,000, respectively.
In March 1999, the Company loaned two officers $1,645,000 in total for
the exercise cost and tax liability associated with exercising options
on 347,225 shares that were expiring in 1999. The portion related to
the exercise price, $886,000, is classified in stockholders' equity and
the balance that relates to the withholding taxes paid is included in
other assets.
<PAGE>
Capital expenditures for the three and nine month periods were $1.1
million and $2.9 million, compared to $1.1 million and $3.0 million in
1998. Capital expenditures during these periods were used for normal
property and equipment additions, replacements and upgrades. Proceeds
from the disposal of property and equipment for the three and nine
months amounted to $749,000 and $1.0 million in 1999. The Company
plans to spend approximately $5.5 million on capital improvements
during 1999.
Cash flows provided from operations amounted to $5.6 million, which was
used for repayments on long term debt of $1.6 million, net capital
expenditures of $1.9 million, the purchase of treasury stock of $1.5
million, dividends paid of $659,000, and the financing of shareholder
stock option exercises of $1.6 million, offset by proceeds from the
exercise of stock options of $976,000. The Company's financial
condition continues to be strong at September 30, 1999, with working
capital of $36.6 million compared to $30.2 million at December 31,
1998.
Year 2000 Compliance
The "Year 2000 problem" arose because many existing computer programs
use only the last two digits to refer to a year. Therefore, these
computer programs do not properly recognize a year that begins with
"20" instead of the familiar "19." If not corrected, many computer
applications could fail or create erroneous results. The extent of the
potential impact of the Year 2000 problem is not yet known, and if not
timely corrected, it could affect the global economy.
State of Readiness
In 1997, the Company established an organization wide project to
identify non-compliant items, formulate corrective actions and to
implement these changes to mitigate the year 2000 issue. The Company
has identified three categories of components that require attention:
1. Information technology ("IT") systems, such as mainframes,
midranges, personal computers, software and networks
2. Non-IT systems such as equipment, machinery, climate control,
security and telephone systems, which may contain micro-controllers
with embedded technology
3. Third party IT and Non-IT systems
The table below summarizes the estimated completion percentages of the
three categories and stages that are being undertaken to mitigate the
Year 2000 issue.
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
<PAGE>
Although the Company has contacted its major suppliers to determine
their readiness regarding the Year 2000 issue and has been assured that
they are working to mitigate its effects, the Company has no way of
determining what level of compliance they will attain by the year 2000.
The Company is currently in the process of contacting its major
customers to evaluate their planned level of compliance. Upon
receiving the responses, the Company will formulate corrective actions.
There is no guarantee that systems of other companies on which the
Company's systems rely will be timely converted and would not have an
adverse effect on the Company's systems. If all material components are
not identified or all appropriate corrective actions are not taken or
are not completed in a timely manner, the Year 2000 issue could have a
material impact on the operations of the Company.
Year 2000 Costs
Costs related to the Year 2000 issue are funded through operating cash
flows and are being expensed as incurred. As of September 1999, the
Company has expended funds in remediation efforts, which consisted of
costs associated with modifying the source code of existing software.
This amount has been immaterial to the Company. Based upon the
Company's investigations to date, it estimates the total costs related
to the Year 2000 issue would be immaterial. A number of other upgrades
have been made to systems in the normal course of business that
mitigate Year 2000 issues. This amount may vary substantially as the
Company continues to evaluate items associated with the Year 2000
issue.
Year 2000 Risks
The most reasonably likely worst case scenario for the Company is the
failure of a supplier to be Year 2000 compliant such that its supply of
needed products or services is interrupted temporarily. This could
result in the Company not being able to fulfill its obligation on a
construction contract, which could cause lost sales and profits and
possibly additional exposure for non-performance and damage claims.
Year 2000 Contingency Plans
The Company is currently evaluating business disruption scenarios,
coordinating the establishment of Year 2000 contingency plans and
identifying and implementing preemptive strategies. Detailed
contingency plans for critical business processes will be developed by
November 1999.
The costs of the project and the date on which the Company believes it
will complete the Year 2000 project are based on management's best
estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions and future
events, including the continued availability of certain resources and
other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates
will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material
differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost
of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct
all relevant codes, the level of compliance by key suppliers and
customers, and similar uncertainties.
