                         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, 1994.  The Company has made no significant
change in these policies during 1995.

(2)  Income (Loss) From Operations

The three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 include a charge,
which aggregated $25.6 million, to provide for a liability related to
previously disclosed litigation discussed under  Item 1. Legal Proceedings 
in this Form 10-Q and downward revisions in estimated probable recoveries
on certain outstanding contract claims.

(3)  (Provision) Benefit For Income Taxes

The Company recognized tax benefits of 11% and 9% of the pretax losses for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively,
whereas in 1994, the Company s tax provision was 41% of pretax results.  A
portion of the tax benefit related to the 1995 losses was not recognized
because of certain accounting limitations.  However, approximately $21
million of future pretax earnings should benefit from minimal, if any, tax
charges.

(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 1995 and 1994 three and nine
month periods ended September 30, of $531,000 and $1,593,000, 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
presented because the effect of conversion of the Company's depositary
convertible exchangeable preferred shares into common stock is also
antidilutive.

(5)  Cash Dividends

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

The unaudited consolidated 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, 1994.  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, 1995 and December 31, 1994 and results of operations
and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and
1994.  The results of operations for the nine month period ended September
30, 1995 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1995 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 DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSISOF THE CONSOLIDATEDCONDENSED FINANCIAL
                               STATEMENTS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Comparison of the Third Quarter of 1995 with the Third Quarter of 1994
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

The third quarter of 1995 resulted in a net loss of $30.7 million (or $6.61 per
common share) compared to a net profit of $1 million (or $.10 per common share)
in 1994.  The primary reason for this decline in earnings was a pretax charge,
which aggregated $25.6 million, to provide for a liability related to previously
disclosed litigation discussed under  Item 1. Legal Proceedings  in this Form
10-Q and downward revisions in estimated probable recoveries on certain
outstanding contract claims.  The amount of the net loss was also significantly
impacted by the requirement to limit recognition of the related tax benefit
because of certain accounting limitations. 

Revenues decreased $71.8 million (or 23.6%), from $304.8 million in 1994 to $233
million in 1995.  This decrease resulted primarily from decreased construction
revenues of $71 million (or 24%), from $294.6 million in 1994 to 223.6 million
in 1995 due to decreases in revenues from both building and heavy construction
operations.  Revenues from building operations decreased $40.4 million (or 21%),
from $195.2 million in 1994 to $154.8 million in 1995 due primarily to a reduced
backlog of  fast track  hotel/casino projects going into the third quarter of
1995.  Revenues from heavy operations decreased $30.6 million (or 31%), from
$99.4 million in 1994 to $68.8 million in 1995 due primarily to the timing in
the start-up of several significant new projects.

The gross profit decreased by $36.9 million, from a gross profit of $13.9
million in 1994 to a gross loss of $23 million in 1995 because of the reduction
in gross profit from construction operations of $35.5 million, from a gross
profit of $12.3 million in 1994 to a gross loss of $23.2 million in 1995 due to
primarily the pretax charge of $25.6 million referred to above, the decrease in
construction revenues referred to above and the downward adjustment in the total
profit forecasted on a tunnel project in the Midwest.  The gross profit from
real estate operations decreased by $1.4 million, from $1.6 million in 1994 to
$.2 million in 1995 due to a reduction in profitable land sales in Florida.

General, administrative and selling expenses decreased by $1 million (or 10%),
from $10 million in 1994 to $9 million in 1995 due to reduced bonuses, increased
general insurance allocations to projects and a continuation of the Company s
re-engineering efforts commenced in prior years.

The Company recognized a tax benefit in 1995 of 11% of the pretax loss whereas
in 1994 the Company s tax provision was 41% of pretax income.  A portion of the
tax benefit related to the 1995 loss was not recognized because of certain
accounting limitations.  However, approximately $21 million of future pretax
earnings should benefit from minimal, if any, tax charges.

                      Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 
                          with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994
                      -------------------------------------------------------

Revenues increased $80.7 million (or 11%), from $722.3 million in 1994 to $803
million in 1995.  This increase resulted from increased construction revenues of
$94.1 million (or 14%), from $676.6 million in 1994 to $770.7 million in 1995,
due primarily to an increase in revenues from building operations of $133
million (or 31%), from $434 million in 1994 to $567 million in 1995.  This
increase in revenues was due primarily to certain hotel/casino projects in the
Western U.S. and increased volume in the Midwest due to substantially higher
backlog in that area during 1995.  This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in revenues from heavy operations of $39 million (or 16%), from $243
million in 1994 to $204 million in 1995 due primarily to the timing in the
start-up of several significant new projects and the completion early in 1995 of
several other projects.  Revenue from real estate operations also decreased by
$13.4 million (or 29%), from $45.7 million in 1994 to $32.3 million in 1995 due
to the sale in 1994 of two investment properties ($9.1 million) and less land
sales in 1995.

Total gross profit decreased $32.5 million from $34.1 million in 1994 to $1.6
million in 1995 due to an overall decrease in gross profit from construction
operations of $31.5 million, from $33.2 million in 1994 to $1.7 million in 
1995. The primary reasons for this decline was a pretax charge, which 
aggregated $25.6 million, to provide for a liability related to previously 
disclosed litigation discussed under  Item 1. Legal Proceedings  in this 
Form 10-Q and downward revisions in estimated probable recoveries on certain 
outstanding contract claims, lower margins than anticipated on certain 
contracts being performed in the Metropolitan New York area and an overall 
reduction in the profit level on a tunnel project in the Midwest.  In 
addition, the overall gross profit from real estate operations was reduced 
by $1 million, from a profit of $.9 million in 1994 to a loss of $.1 million 
in 1995 due to the non-recurring profit related to the sale of two real 
estate investment properties in 1994 which was partially offset by 
improved operating results in 1995 from its two major ongoing operating 
properties.

The decrease in general, administrative and selling expenses of $3 million (or
10%), from $30.2 million in 1994 to $27.2 million in 1995, resulted primarily
from reduced bonuses, increased general insurance allocations to projects and a
continuation of the Company s re-engineering efforts commenced in prior years.
The $.6 million improvement in other income expense, net from a loss of $.7
million in 1994, to a loss of $.1 million in 1995 was due primarily to the gain
on sale of certain land, including a quarry, in 1995.

The increase in interest expense of $1.4 million (or 30%), from $4.7 million in
1994 to $6.1 million in 1995 is due to an increase in the average level of
borrowings.

The Company recognized a tax benefit in 1995 of 9% of the pretax loss whereas in
1994 the Company s tax benefit was 41% of the pretax loss.  A portion of the tax
benefit related to the 1995 loss was not recognized because of certain
accounting limitations.  

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Working capital decreased $10 million, from $30 million at the end of 1994 to
$20 million at September 30, 1995.  The current ratio decreased from 1.13:1 to
1.07:1 during this same period.

During the first nine months of 1995 the Company used $10.9 million of cash for
investing activities, primarily to fund construction and real estate joint
ventures.  The sources of these funds were $8.8 million from operations
generated primarily from an increase in accounts payable, $.9 million from
financing activities and $1.2 million from cash on hand.

Long-term debt at September 30, 1995 was $74.7 million, a decrease of $2.3
million from December 31, 1994.  The long-term debt to equity ratio at September
30, 1995 was .71 to 1 compared to the .58 to 1 ratio at December 31, 1994.  This
change results from the decrease in stockholders  equity caused by the $28.9 net
loss incurred during 1995.    

In addition to internally generated funds, the Company has access to additional
funds under its $115 million long-term Credit Agreement and its $5 million
short-term line of credit.  At September 30, 1995, there was $35 million
available under the Credit Agreement, as adjusted and $5 million available under
the short-term line of credit. As a result of the loss for the third quarter,
the Company would have been in violation of certain financial covenants under
the Credit Agreement.  However, the Company has obtained a waiver of any such
violation until January 15, 1996.  There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to achieve compliance by that date.  The Company intends to seek a
modification of the bank credit facility to eliminate any non-compliance.  There
can be no assurance that any such modification can be negotiated on terms
acceptable to the banks and the Company.  Were the banks to stop extending
credit under the Credit Agreement, or to seek immediate payment of the
outstanding loan, the Company would not have sufficient funds to maintain its
operations or to pay the loan unless alternate sources of credit were made
available.  Discussions are currently underway with lenders regarding revised
financing terms and conditions.

Part II. - Other Information
- ----------------------------

Item 1. - Legal Proceedings
- ---------------------------

As previously reported, the Company is a party to an action entitled Mergentime
Corporation et. al. v. Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority v. Insurance
Company of North America (Civil Action No. 89-1055) in the U.S. District Court
for the District of Columbia.  The action involves WMATA s termination of the
general contractor, a joint venture in which the Company was a minority partner
on two contracts to construct a portion of the Washington, D.C. subway system,
and certain claims by the joint venture against WMATA for claimed delays and
extra work.  

On July 30, 1993, the Court upheld the termination for default, and found both
joint venturers and their surety jointly and severally liable to WMATA for
damages in the amount of $16.5 million, consisting primarily of WMATA s excess
reprocurement costs, but specifically deferred ruling on the amount of the joint
venture s claims against WMATA.  Since the other joint venture partner may be
unable to meet its financial obligations under the award, the Company could be
liable for the entire amount.

At the direction of the judge now presiding over the action, during the third
quarter of 1995  the parties submitted briefs on the issue of WMATA s liability
on the joint venture s claims for delay and for extra work.  As a result of that
process, the Company has determined to establish a reserve with respect to the
litigation, the amount of which is included in the $25.6 million pretax charge
to third quarter earnings reflected in the financial statements included in this
Form 10-Q.

Item 5. - Other Information
- ---------------------------

As a result of the loss for the third quarter, the Company would have been in
violation of certain financial covenants of its principal bank credit 
agreement. However, the Company has obtained a waiver of any such violation 
until January 15, 1996.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be 
able to achieve compliance by that date.  The Company intends to seek a 
modification of the bank credit facility to eliminate any non-compliance.  
There can be no assurance that any such modification can be negotiated on 
terms acceptable to the banks and the Company.  Were the banks to stop 
extending credit under the credit agreement, or to seek immediate payment 
of the outstanding loan, the Company would not have sufficient funds to 
maintain its operations or to pay the loan unless alternate sources of 
credit were made available.  Discussions are currently underway with lenders 
regarding revised financing terms and conditions.
