    THE TURNER CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

The  consolidated balance sheet as of March  31,  1995,
the  consolidated statements of operations and retained
earnings and the consolidated statements of cash  flows
for  the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 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.

  $1,835, respectively.

4.Effective  January  1,  1995,  the  company   adopted
  Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards  (SFAS)
  No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of  a
  Loan"  which  was amended by Statement  of  Financial
  Accounting  Standards No. 118.  Under SFAS  Nos.  114
  and  118, a loan must be recognized as impaired, when
  based  on  current  information  and  events,  it  is
  probable  that a creditor will be unable  to  collect
  all  amounts  due according to the contractual  terms
  of   the   loan  agreement.   Impairments  would   be
  recognized  by  creating  valuation  allowances  with
  corresponding  charges  to  bad  debt  expense.   The
  impact  of the adoption of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118  was
  not    material   to   the   consolidated   financial
  statements.

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

Results  of operations in the three months ended  March
31,   1995   produced  net  income  of   $1.0   million
essentially unchanged from the corresponding period  of
1994.

Value  of  construction completed for the three  months
ended  March 31, 1995, increased by 18% from the  level
recorded  during the corresponding period  in  1994  to
$701  million.   Earnings  from construction  contracts
increased 3% from the prior year level to $16  million.
The  increase  in  construction  activity  reflects   a
continuation  of the levels experienced in  the  fourth
quarter  of  1994, which benefited from  an  uncommonly
mild  winter  throughout  the  Midwest  and  Northeast.
Construction earnings for the three months ended  March
31,  1994  reflected significant savings recognized  on
completed contracts which were not repeated in 1995.
  
Losses from real estate operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 decreased 31% to $542,000 from the
corresponding  period  in  1994.   This   decrease   is
primarily  the  result of reduced  property  management
expenses and interest on lower debt levels.

Operating  and  general  and  administrative   expenses
during the three months ended March 31, 1995, increased
slightly by 1% from the corresponding period of 1994 to
$13.5  million  primarily due to higher  interest  rate
levels  and  increases  in  benefit  costs.   Operating
expenses  for  construction  and  real  estate   showed
significant declines from the corresponding  period  in
1994  as a result of restructuring steps taken  in  the
second quarter of 1994.

During   the   first  quarter  of  1995,  approximately
$636,000  was  charged  to the remaining  restructuring
reserve  consisting  primarily of the  finalization  of
reorganization steps taken in prior years.
  
Other income for the three months ended March 31,  1995
amounted to a loss of $214,000 mostly due to losses  in
overseas  operations  as  a result  of  continued  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  for  the
company's  Turner  Steiner venture.   To  mitigate  the
impact of these developments, the company continues  to
seek new business in construction sectors less affected
by  the cyclical economic decline.  The company is also
continuing   its   efforts   to   maintain    operating
efficiencies experienced by its restructuring program.

At  March  31, 1995, the company's backlog of value  of
construction  to  be completed was  $4.52  billion  and
anticipated  earnings  associated  with  backlog   from
construction contracts was $97.2 million,  compared  to
$4.55   billion   and   $92.6  million,   respectively.
Estimated  earnings from construction contracts  cannot
and should not be used as the basis of predictions with
respect to future net income.
  
                             -8-
                              
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, 1995 resulted in a net decrease of funds  of
$20.7 million.  Cash flows used in operating activities
amounted to $16.4 million due primarily to increases in
construction  receivables.  Cash flows  from  investing
activities amounted to $53,000 which is principally due
to   the   payments   on  notes  receivable   and   the
distributions  from construction joint ventures  offset
by  the purchase of property and equipment.  Cash flows
used  in  financing activities amounted to $4.3 million
primarily   due   to  pay  downs  on  existing   credit
facilities.  The company's management believes that the
company's  financial  condition  and  available  credit
facilities at March 31, 1995 are sufficient to  support
the  present  and prospective levels of  the  company's
operations.
