(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, 1995.  The Company has made no  significant
        change in these policies during 1996.

(2)     Provision For Income Taxes

        The  lower-than-normal  tax rate in 1996 reflects the  realization  of a
        portion  of the  tax  benefit  not  recognized  in 1995  due to  certain
        accounting limitations. The lower-than-normal tax rate in 1995 is due to
        a tax benefit realized.

(3)     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 1996 and 1995
        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  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 also
        antidilutive.

(4)     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.  As previously  disclosed,  in  conjunction  with the
        covenants of the  Company's  Amended  Revolving  Credit  Agreement,  the
        Company is required to suspend the payment of quarterly dividends on its
        preferred   stock  until  the  Bridge  Loan   commitment  is  no  longer
        outstanding,  if a  default  exists  under  the  terms  of  the  Amended
        Revolving Credit Agreement,  or if the ratio of long-term debt to equity
        exceeds 50%.  Therefore,  the dividends on preferred stock that normally
        would have been declared  during December of 1995 and March of 1996, and
        payable  on  March 15 and June  15,  1996,  respectively,  have not been
        declared  (although they have been fully accrued due to the "cumulative"
        feature of the preferred stock).

(5)     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,  1995.  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, 1996 and December 31, 1995
        and results of  operations  and cash flows for the three  month  periods
        ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  The results of operations  for the three
        month period ended March 31, 1996 may not be  indicative  of the results
        that may be expected  for the year ending  December 31, 1996 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
- ---------------------

Revenues  increased $6.9 million (or 2.6%),  from $263.1 million in 1995 to $270
million in 1996. This increase resulted from increased  construction revenues of
$5.2 million (or 2.0%),  from $253.3  million in 1995 to $258.5 million in 1996,
due primarily to an increase in revenues from heavy  construction  operations of
$17.3 million (or 27%), from $63 million in 1995 to $80.3 million in 1996, which
was  partially  offset by a decrease  in  revenues  from  building  construction
operations  of $12.1  million  (or 6%),  from  $190.3  million in 1995 to $178.2
million in 1996. These revenue  fluctuations  reflect the timing in the start-up
of new  construction  projects,  in particular  certain fast track  hotel/casino
projects  in  various  parts of the United  States as well as certain  long-term
infrastructure  rehabilitation  projects.  Revenues from real estate  operations
increased  $1.7 million,  from $9.8 million in 1995 to $11.5 million in 1996 due
primarily to an increase in condominium sales in Georgia.

In spite of the modest  increase in revenues,  the total gross profit  decreased
slightly,  from $12.2 million in 1995 to $11.8 million in 1996, primarily due to
an overall decrease in gross profit from construction  operations of $.6 million
(or 5%), from $12.3  million in 1995 to $11.7 million in 1996.  This decrease is
due to lower overall profit margins  experienced in 1996 in several building and
heavy  construction  operating  units as a result of the  completion  in 1995 of
several successful construction projects, including a major hotel/casino project
in Nevada,  plus a lower than anticipated  margin in 1996 on a casino project in
Iowa. This gross profit decrease was partially  offset by a $.2 million increase
in gross  profit from real estate  operations  due  primarily to the increase in
condominium sales referred to above.

General, administrative and selling expenses decreased by $1.0 million (or 11%),
from $9.1  million  in 1995 to $8.1  million  in 1996  primarily  due to certain
insurance  allocations  to  projects as well as  continued  emphasis on reducing
overall   Company   overhead   expenses  in   conjunction   with  the  Company's
re-engineering  efforts  commenced  in prior years and the  continuation  of the
gradual down-sizing of the Company's real estate operations.

Other income decreased $.7 million, from income of $.4 million in 1995 to a loss
of $.3 million in 1996 primarily due to a $.4 million  non-recurring gain on the
sale of certain underutilized operating facilities, including a quarry, in 1995.

Interest expense decreased by $.4 million (or 19%), from $2.1 million in 1995 to
$1.7 million in 1996 due to a lower average  level of borrowings  during 1996 as
well as lower effective interest rates.

The lower  than  normal tax rate in 1996 is due to the  utilization  of tax loss
carry forwards from 1995. Because of certain accounting limitations, the Company
was not able to recognize a portion of the tax benefit  related to the operating
loss experienced in fiscal 1995. Therefore,  approximately $20 million of future
pretax earnings,  including the earnings  achieved in the first quarter of 1996,
should benefit from minimal tax charges.  The lower than normal tax rate in 1995
is  due  to a  tax  benefit  realized  that  related  to  the  sale  of  certain
underutilized operating facilities referred to above.

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

Working capital  increased $15.8 million,  from $36.5 million at the end of 1995
to $52.3  million at March 31,  1996,  the highest  level in recent  years.  The
current ratio increased from 1.12:1 to 1.20:1 during this same period.

During the first three months of 1996 the Company used $30.3 million of cash for
operating  activities,  primarily  to fund  cash  requirements  on  construction
projects.  In  addition,  the Company  used $5.6  million of cash for  investing
activities,  primarily for working capital  contributions to construction  joint
ventures.  The  sources  of  these  funds  were  $14.0  million  from  financing
activities, primarily from net borrowings, and $23.9 million from cash on hand.

                                        7

<PAGE>



Long-term debt at March 31, 1996 was $94.6 million, an increase of $10.4 million
from December 31, 1995. The long-term debt to equity ratio at March 31, 1996 was
 .88 to 1, compared to .80 to 1 at December 31, 1995.

In addition to internally  generated funds, the Company has access to additional
funds under its $114.5 million  long-term Credit Agreement.  Effective  February
26, 1996, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement for an additional $15
million  through  July 31,  1996.  At March 31,  1996  there  was $13.4  million
available  under  the  Company's  long-term  credit  facility  and  $15  million
available  under  the  Bridge  Loan  Agreement.  Management  believes  that cash
generated  from  operations,  existing  credit lines and  additional  borrowings
should probably be adequate to meet the Company's  funding  requirements  for at
least the next twelve months. 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.
