    THE TURNER CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

The  consolidated balance sheet as of March  31,  1994,  the
consolidated statements of operations and retained  earnings
and  the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 are unaudited, but,  in
the   opinion  of  the  company's  management  reflect   all
adjustments,    consisting   only   of   normal    recurring
adjustments,  which  are necessary  to  present  fairly  the
financial condition and results of operations at those dates
and  for  those periods.  The results of operations for  any
three  month period is not necessarily indicative of results
for  a  full  year.   It is suggested that  these  financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements  and  notes  thereto included  in  the  company's
latest annual report.

4.     Effective  January  1,  1994,  the  company   adopted
  Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards  (SFAS)  No.
  115,  "Accounting  for  Certain Investments  in  Debt  and
  Equity  Securities."  Under SFAS No. 115 Debt  and  Equity
  Securities   not  classified  as  either  held-to-maturity
  securities   or  trading  securities  are  classified   as
  available-for-sale securities and reported at fair  value,
  with  unrealized gains and losses excluded  from  earnings
  and  reported  as  a  separate component  of  Stockholders
  equity.

  During the first three months of 1994, the company charged
  $130,000 of unrealized losses to Stockholders equity.

5.     Effective  January  1,  1994,  the  company   adopted
  Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards  (SFAS)  No.
  112  "Employers  Accounting for Postemployment  Benefits."
  Under  SFAS No. 112 an accrual must be made for all  types
  of  postemployment benefits provided to former or inactive
  employees,  their  beneficiaries  and  covered  dependents
  after  employment, but before retirement.  The  impact  of
  the  adoption  of  SFAS  has  not  been  material  to  the
  consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion & Analysis  of  Financial
      Condition and Results of Operations

  Results  of operations in the nine months ended March  31,
1994  produced  net income of $1.0 million compared  to  net
income  of  $946,000 for the corresponding period  of  1993.
This  change in net income from the prior year is  discussed
below.

      Value  of construction completed for the three  months
ended  March  31,  1994, increased by 2.0%  from  the  level
recorded  during the corresponding period in  1993  to  $592
million.   Earnings  from construction  contracts  decreased
6.9%   from   the   prior  year  level  to  $15.5   million.
Construction earnings for the three months ended  March  31,
1994   includes  an  increase  in  construction   management
activity which traditionally carries a lower fee.

     Losses from real estate operations for the three months
ended  March 31, 1994 decreased 12.7% to $787,000  from  the
corresponding  period in 1993.  This decrease  is  primarily
the result of reduced property management expenses resulting
from the sale of properties in 1993.

      Operating  and  general  and  administrative  expenses
during  the  three  months ended March 31,  1994,  decreased
overall  by  3.3% from the corresponding period of  1993  to
$13.3  million  due  to  the  company's  continued  overhead
reduction  program  which  was begun  in  prior  years.   In
addition, the company reduced expenses by $300,000 from  the
same  period  last  year as a result  of  the  restructuring
program  that  was reserved for in 1993.  The reduction  was
reflected  in construction operations.  The cost  associated
with  the  restructuring actions taken in the first  quarter
were  charged  to  the restructuring reserve  and  consisted
primarily of salary and benefit continuation costs.

      Other income for the three months ended March 31, 1994
amounted  to  a  loss of $320,000 mostly due  to  losses  in
overseas operations as a result of soft market conditions.

      The  construction  industry in the United  States  has
continued    to   experience   spotty   economic   recovery.
Additionally,  the  present  soft  economic  conditions   in
Western  Europe have reduced opportunities in that area  for
the  company's  Turner  Steiner venture.   To  moderate  the
impact  of  these developments, the company is  successfully
increasing  its overall market share by acquiring  increased
new  business in construction sectors less affected  by  the
cyclical  economic decline.  The company is also  continuing
its  efforts to reduce expenses in both the construction and
real estate operations.

                             -8-
                              
      At  March 31, 1994, the company's backlog of value  of
construction   to  be  completed  was  $4.82   billion   and
anticipated   earnings   associated   with   backlog    from
construction contracts was $97.0 million, compared to  $4.66
billion  and $91.8 million respectively, as of December  31,
1993.  Estimated earnings from construction contracts cannot
and  should  not  be used as the basis of  predictions  with
respect to future net income.

      Because  of  the  constantly  changing  proportion  of
construction   management   contracts,   consulting    work,
construction contract types (cost plus percentage fee,  cost
plus  fixed fee, guaranteed total and lump sum),  and  other
factors,  the  relationship of value of work  completed  and
earnings  from  construction contracts  is  not  necessarily
meaningful in the short run.

   The  company's cash flow for the three months ended March
31,  1994  resulted  in  a net increase  of  funds  of  $2.8
million.   Cash flows used in operating activities  amounted
to  $29.6  million  due primarily to the  payment  of  trade
payables.  Cash flows from investing activities amounted  to
$7.3 million which is principally the result of the sale  of
marketable  securities.  Cash flows  provided  by  financing
activities  amounted  to  $25.0  million  primarily  due  to
increased  borrowings  on existing credit  facilities.   The
company's  management believes that the company's  financial
condition and available credit facilities at March 31,  1994
are sufficient to support the present and prospective levels
of the company's operations.
