                      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/A 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 for the first nine months of
      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 for the first nine months of 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 and nine month periods ended September 30, of $531,000 and
      $1,594,000, respectively.  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
      antidilutive.  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/A 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 September 30, 1994 and December 31,
      1993 and results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine
      month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  The results of
      operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
      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
<PAGE>

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                Comparison of the Third Quarter of 1994
                     with the Third Quarter of 1993

      Revenues increased $30 million (or 10.9%), from $274.8 million in 1993
  to $304.8 million in 1994.  This increase resulted primarily from
  increased construction revenues of $27.6 million (or 10.3%), from $267.0
  million in 1993 to $294.6 million in 1994, due primarily to an increase in
  revenues from civil and environmental operations of $22.1 million (or
  29%), from $77.3 million in 1993 to $99.4 million in 1994.  This increase
  in revenues was due to an increased backlog going into 1994.  In addition,
  building construction revenues increased $5.5 million (or 3%), from $189.7
  million in 1993 to $195.2 million in 1994, due to the timing in the start-
  up of certain hotel/casino projects.  Real estate revenues also increased
  by $2.4 million, from $7.8 million in 1993 to $10.2 million in 1994 due to
  an increase in land sales in Florida.

      The gross profit in 1994 increased by $.8 million, from $13.1 million
  in 1993 to $13.9 million in 1994 because of an increase in gross profit
  from real estate of $3.2 million, from a loss of $1.6 million in 1993 to a
  profit of $1.6 million in 1994 due to the sale referred to above of highly
  profitable land in Florida.  This improvement was partially offset by a
  decrease in gross profit from construction operations of $2.4 million,
  from $14.7 million in 1993 to $12.3 million in 1994 due to the favorable
  close out of several civil construction projects in 1993.

      The $.7 million increase in interest expense (or 50%), from $1.4
  million in 1993 to $2.1 million in 1994 is due to a combination of higher
  prevailing interest rates and an increase in the average amount borrowed.


                Comparison of the Nine Months September 30, 1994
                 with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1993

      Revenues decreased $158.5 million (or 18%), from $880.8 million in
  1993 to $722.3 million in 1994.  This decrease resulted from decreased
  construction revenues of $152.1 million (or 18%), from $828.7 million in
  1993 to $676.6 million in 1994, due primarily to a decrease in revenues
  from building operations of $194 million (or 31%), from $628 million in
  1993 to $434 million in 1994.  This decrease in revenues was primarily 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 under way
  during the first six months of 1993.  This decrease was partially offset
  by an increase in revenues from civil and environmental construction
  operations of $42 million (or 21%), from $201 million in 1993 to $243
  million in 1994, due to an increased heavy construction backlog going into
  1994.  In addition to the overall decrease in construction revenues,
  revenues from real estate operations decreased $6.4 million (or 12%), from
  $52.1 million in 1993 to $45.7 million in 1994 due primarily to the non-
  recurring sale ($23 million) in 1993 of a partnership interest in certain
  commercial rental properties in San Francisco.  This revenue decrease was
  partially offset from the sale of a marginally profitable land sale in
  1994 ($6 million) and the sale of two investment properties in 1994 ($8.6
  million).  

      The gross profit in 1994 decreased by $3.9 million, from $38.0 million
  in 1993 to $34.1 million in 1994, due primarily to a $2.2 million decrease
  from real estate operations, from a profit of $3.1 million in 1993 to a
  profit of $.9 million in 1994.  This profit decrease primarily results
  from the non-recurring gain in 1993 from the sale of certain commercial
  rental properties referred to above which was partially offset by improved
  operating results in both Massachusetts and Georgia.  The gross profit
  from construction operations decreased $1.7 million (or 5%), from $34.9
  million in 1993 to $33.2 million in 1994 due to the negative profit impact
  from the reduction in building construction revenues referred to above and
  a loss from international operations resulting from unstable economic and
  political conditions in a certain overseas location where the Company is
  working.  This decrease in construction gross profit was partially offset
  by increased profits from the relatively higher margin heavy construction
  revenues referred to above.

      The $5.5 million decrease in other income (expense), from income of
  $4.9 million in 1993 to a loss of $.6 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 $1.0 million increase in interest expense (or 27%), from $3.7
  million in 1993 to $4.7 million in 1994 is due to a combination of higher
  prevailing interest rates and an increase in the average amount borrowed.

      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 current
  estimate of its utilization of the related foreign tax credits.


  _______________________

      The Company's backlog of uncompleted construction work at the end of
  September 1994 was $1.273 billion, a 51% increase from the $843 million
  reported for the same period in 1993.  Backlog increases were experienced
  in all of the Company's principal construction businesses.  Overall, the
  pace of new work acquisition throughout the Company during the first nine
  months of 1994 has run ahead of the comparable period in the previous
  year.  This trend is expected to continue as the volume of pending
  contracts not yet reported in backlog remains significant.


  FINANCIAL CONDITION

       Working capital decreased $14.7 million, from $36.9 million at the
  end of 1993 to $22.2 million at September 30, 1994.  The current ratio
  decreased from 1.17:1 to 1.09:1.

       During the first nine months of 1994 the Company used $15.4 million
  of cash for investing activities, primarily in certain construction and
  real estate joint ventures, and $7.7 million of cash for financial
  activities, primarily to pay down debt.  The sources of cash were $7.3
  million from operating activities, primarily from proceeds related to real
  estate sales and an increase in accounts payable, and a $15.8 million
  reduction in cash on hand.  

      Long-term debt at September 30, 1994 was $78.7 million, a decrease of
  $3.7 million from December 31, 1993.  This decrease resulted primarily
  from the repayment of certain mortgages related to real estate properties
  sold during the period.  The long-term debt to equity ratio at September
  30, 1994 was .61 to 1, compared to the .63 to 1 ratio at December 31,
  1993.  

       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 September 30, 1994, there was $18 million available
  under the short-term lines of credit and $15 million available under the
  new short-term credit facility.  The full amount available under the
  credit facilities may be borrowed during any fiscal quarter.  However,
  financial covenants limiting the debt to equity ratio contained in the
  agreements governing these facilities limit the amount of borrowings which
  may be outstanding at the end of any fiscal quarter.  Based on these
  covenants, $7.4 million of additional borrowing capacity was available at
  September 30, 1994.  Management believes that cash generated from
  operations, unused credit lines and various real estate borrowings should
  probably be adequate for the next twelve months to meet the Company's
  funding requirements.  However, the withdrawal of many commercial lending
  sources from both the real estate and construction markets and/or
  restrictions on new borrowings and extensions on maturing loans by these
  same sources cause uncertainties in predicting liquidity.
