consolidated  statements  of  operations  and  retained
earnings and the consolidated statements of cash  flows

3.   Interest costs incurred and expensed for the six
  months  and three months ended June 30,  1994  were
  $3,748  and  $1,913, respectively.  Interest  costs
  incurred and expensed for the six months and  three
  months  ended June 30, 1993 were $3,809 and $1,943,
  respectively.

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 six months of 1994, the  company
  charged  $151 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 six months ended June
30,   1994  produced  net  income  of  $2.1  million
compared to net income of $1.9 for the corresponding
period of 1993.  This change in net income from  the
prior year is discussed below.

      Value  of construction completed for  the  six
months ended June 30, 1994, decreased by 4% from the
level  recorded during the corresponding  period  in
1993  to  $1.27 billion.  Earnings from construction
contracts decreased 11% from the prior year level to
$29.2 million.

      Earnings from real estate operations  for  the
six  months ended June 30, 1994 amounted to $735,000
which  was due primarily to the sale of lease rights
at the company's Rickenbacker facility.

       Operating   and  general  and  administrative
expenses during the six months ended June 30,  1994,
decreased  overall  by  3%  from  the  corresponding
period of 1994 to $26.7 million due to the company's
continued overhead reduction program which was begun
in  prior  years.  In addition, the company  reduced
expenses by $600,000 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  and  in  general  and
administrative  expense.  The cost  associated  with
the  restructuring actions taken in  the  first  two
quarters  were charged to the restructuring  reserve
and   consisted  primarily  of  salary  and  benefit
continuation  costs,  outplacement,  and  relocation
costs.

      Other income for the six months ended June 30,
1994  amounted to a loss of $429,000 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  all
phases of its operations.

                             -9-

      At  June  30, 1994, the company's  backlog  of
value  of  construction to be  completed  was  $4.94
billion  and  anticipated earnings  associated  with
backlog  from  construction  contracts  was   $100.1
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 six months ended
June 30, 1994 resulted in a net increase of funds of
$8.1   million.   Cash  flows  used   in   operating
activities  amounted to $22.5 million due  primarily
to  the payment of trade payables.  Cash flows  from
investing activities amounted to $7.5 million  which
is  principally the result of the sale of marketable
securities.    Cash  flows  provided  by   financing
activities  amounted to $23.0 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 June 30, 1994 are sufficient to
support  the present and prospective levels  of  the
company's operations.
