                          PERINI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1) Significant Accounting Policies 

    The significant accounting policies followed by the Company and its
    subsidiaries in preparing its consolidated financial statements are set
    forth in Note (1) to such financial statements included in Form 10-K for
    the year ended December 31, 1993.  The Company has made no significant
    change in these policies during 1994.

(2) Other Income (Expense) Net

    Includes a pretax gain of $4.6 million in 1993 from the sale of Majestic
    Contractors Limited, the Company's 74%-owned Canadian pipeline subsidiary. 
    This gain nets to zero after providing an equivalent amount for federal
    income taxes at the 34% statutory rate and an additional 66% rate which
    represents a combination of an additional tax provision for the difference
    between book and tax basis of the Company's investment in this subsidiary
    and a valuation reserve based upon the company's current estimate of its
    utilization of the foreign tax credits related to the sale.  

(3) Income Taxes

    The higher-than-normal tax rate in 1993 is due to the reasons stated in
    (2) above.  

(4) Per Share Data

    Computations of earnings per common share amounts are based on the
    weighted average number of the Company's common shares outstanding during
    the periods presented.  Earnings per common share reflect the effect of
    preferred dividends accrued during both the 1994 and 1993 three month
    periods ended March 31, of $531,000.  Common stock equivalents related to
    additional shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options
    have not been included since their effect would be immaterial.  Per share
    data on a fully diluted basis is not presented because the effect of
    conversion of the Company's depositary convertible exchangeable preferred
    shares into common stock is antidilutive.

(5) Cash Dividends

    There were no cash dividends on common stock declared or paid during the
    periods presented in the condensed financial statements presented herein.
 
(6) Opinion

    The unaudited condensed financial statements presented herein have been
    prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
    include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally
    accepted accounting principles.  These statements should be read in
    conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
    the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.  In the 
    opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial 
    statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring 
    adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial 
    position as of March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 and results of 
    operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31 
    for the three month period ended March 31, 1994 may not be indicative 
    of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 
    1994 because the Company's results generally consist of a limited 
    number of large transactions in both construction and real estate.  
    Therefore, such results can vary depending on the timing of 
    transactions and the profitability of projects being reported.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
        OF THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                Comparison of First Quarter of 1994
                  with the First Quarter of 1993

    Revenues decreased $83.7 million (or 32.4%), from $258.1 million in 1993
to $174.4 million in 1994.  This decrease resulted from decreased construction
revenues of $90.3 million (or 37%), from $244.5 million in 1993 to $154.2
million in 1994, due primarily to a decrease in revenues from building
operations of $105 million (or 53%), from $199 million in 1993 to $94 million
in 1994. This decrease in revenues was due to the timing in the start-up of
certain hotel/casino projects obtained late in 1993 compared to a few similar
projects that were well underway during the first quarter of 1993.  This
decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenues from the heavy
construction operations of $14 million (or 30%), from $46 million in 1993 to
$60 million in 1994, due to a combination of the new Newberg/Perini Division
acquired in mid-1993 and an increased heavy backlog going into 1994.  This
decrease was also partially offset by an increase in revenues from real estate
operations of $7 million, from $13 million in 1993 to $20 million in 1994,
caused primarily by the sale of two income properties in 1994.

    The gross profit in 1994 increased by $1.8 million, from $11 million in
1993 to $12.8 million in 1994, due primarily to a $2.6 million increase from
construction operations, from $9.7 million in 1993 to $12.3 million in 1994. 
This improvement from construction operations was due to the mix of work
performed, relatively more of the higher margin heavy construction work, from
19% of total construction volume in 1993 to 39% in 1994.  This increase in
gross profit was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit from real
estate of $.8 million, from $1.3 million in 1993 to $.5 million in 1994, due
primarily to a decrease in high margin land sales in Florida.

    The increase in general, administrative and selling expenses of $.8
million (or 9%), from $9 million in 1993 to $9.8 million in 1994, resulted
primarily from the addition of the Newberg/Perini Division in mid-1993.

    The $5.4 million decrease in other income from income of $5 million in
1993 to a loss of $.4 million in 1994 was due primarily to the non-recurring
gain ($4.6 million) on the sale by the Company of its 74%-owned interest in
Majestic Contractors Limited ("Majestic"), its Canadian pipeline subsidiary,
in January, 1993.

    The higher-than-normal tax rate in 1993 was due to tax provided at an
additional 66% rate on the gain on the sale of Majestic, which represented a
combination of an additional tax provision for the difference between book and
tax basis of the Company's investment in this subsidiary and a valuation
reserve related to the gain based upon the Company's estimate of its
utilization of the related foreign tax credits.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Working capital decreased $10.7 million, from $36.9 million at the end of
1993 to $26.2 million at March 31, 1994.  The current ratio decreased from
1.17:1 to 1.14:1.

     During the first three months of 1994 the Company used $16.5 million of
cash from operations, primarily to fund a decrease in payables; $9.1 million
of cash for investing activities, primarily in joint ventures; and $5.2
million of cash for financial activities, primarily to pay down debt.  The
source of cash was a $30.8 million reduction in cash on hand.  The long-term
debt to equity ratio at March 31, 1994 was .58 to 1, compared to the .63 to 1
ratio at December 31, 1993.

    Long-term debt at March 31, 1994 was $76.2 million, a decrease of $6.2
million from December 31, 1993.  This decrease resulted primarily from the
repayment of certain mortgages related to estate properties sold during the
quarter.

     In addition to internally generated funds, the Company has access to
additional funds under its $18 million of short-term lines of credit, its $70
million long-term Credit Agreement and, effective March 31, 1994, a $15
million collateralized short-term credit facility available for the balance of
1994.  At March 31, 1994, there was $14 million available under the short-term
lines of credit, $.2 million available under the Credit Agreement and $15
million available under the new short-term credit facility.  Management
believes that cash generated from operations, unused credit lines and various
real estate borrowings should probably be adequate to meet the Company's
funding requirements, although the withdrawal of many commercial lending
sources from both the real estate and construction markets has significantly
slowed the Company's real estate sales and/or put restrictions on new
borrowings and extensions on maturing loans by these very same sources cause
uncertainties in predicting liquidity.
