              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, 1996.  The Company has made no  significant
        change in these policies during 1997.

        In the fourth  quarter of 1997, the Company will adopt the provisions of
        Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 128,  "Earnings
        Per Share",  which is effective  for  financial  statements  for periods
        ending after  December 15, 1997.  SAFS No. 128 requires  replacement  of
        primary  earnings per shares (EPS) with basis EPS,  which is computed by
        dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average
        number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted EPS, which gives effect to
        all  dilutive  potential  common  shares  outstanding,   will  still  be
        required. All prior-period EPS data presented shall be restated. The EPS
        amounts shown on the Company's  consolidated statement of operations for
        the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1997 and  March  31,  1996 are the
        equivalents  of basic  EPS.  Diluted  EPS are not  required  (see Note 3
        below).

(2)     Provision For Income Taxes

        The lower-than-normal tax rate in 1997 and 1996 reflects the realization
        of a portion of the tax  benefit  not  recognized  in prior years due to
        certain accounting limitations.

(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 available for common shares are
        calculated as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>

        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)     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 as well as the New Credit
        Agreement,  effective  January  17,  1997,  the  Company is  required to
        suspend the payment of quarterly dividends on its $21.50 preferred stock
        ("Senior  Preferred  Stock") until certain  financial  criteria are met.
        Therefore,  the  dividends on the Senior  Preferred  Stock have not been
        declared  since 1995  (although  they have been fully accrued due to the
        "cumulative" feature of the Senior Preferred Stock).

        In-kind  dividends  (based on an annual  rate of 10%) were paid on March
        17, 1997 on the Series B Preferred Stock for the period from January 17,
        1997 (date of issuance) to March 15, 1997 to the  stockholders of record
        on March 1, 1997.  The  dividend  was paid in the form of  approximately
        2,419  additional  shares of Series B Preferred  Stock valued at $200.00
        per share for a total of $483,815.

(5)     Basis of Presentation

        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,  1996.  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, 1997 and December 31, 1996
        and results of  operations  and cash flows for the three  month  periods
        ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.  The results of operations  for the three
        month period ended March 31, 1997 may not be  indicative  of the results
        that may be expected  for the year ending  December 31, 1997 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.

(6)     New Equity and New Credit Agreement

        As disclosed in Note 14 to the Company's  financial  statements included
        in the  Company's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,  1996,  on
        January 17, 1997, the Company  stockholders  approved two proposals that
        allowed the Company to close its new equity  transaction and receive the
        net proceeds of $27 million.  Concurrent  with the closing of the equity
        transaction,  the  Company  entered  into a new  renegotiated  Revolving
        Credit Agreement.

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



Results of Operations

Revenues  increased  $57.2  million (or 21.2%),  from $270.0  million in 1996 to
$327.2  million in 1997.  This  increase  resulted from  increased  construction
revenues  of $59.0  million (or  22.8%),  from $258.5  million in 1996 to $317.5
million  in 1997,  due  primarily  to an  increase  in  revenues  from  building
construction operations of $67.0 million (or 37.6%), from $178.2 million in 1996
to $245.2 million in 1997.  Increased  building  construction  revenues were due
primarily  to  hotel/casino  projects  in Las  Vegas  and to a lesser  degree an
increase in revenues from correctional  facility projects in the East which were
partially offset by a decrease in building  construction revenues in the Midwest
due to a  substantial  decrease  in backlog  going into 1997.  The  increase  in
building  construction  revenues was partially  offset by a decrease in revenues
from civil  construction  operations  of $8.0  million  (or  10.0%),  from $80.3
million  in 1996 to $72.3  million  in 1997  due to a  substantial  decrease  in
backlog in the Midwest  going into 1997 and the timing in the  start-up of other
new infrastructure construction projects. Real estate revenues also decreased by
$1.8  million,  from $11.5 million in 1996 to $9.7 million in 1997 due primarily
to the  completion  of the sales  program in late 1996 related to a  condominium
project in Georgia.

In spite of the increase in  revenues,  the total gross  profit  increased  only
slightly,  from $11.8 million in 1996 to $12.1 million in 1997, primarily due to
an overall increase in gross profit from construction  operations of $.7 million
(or 6%), from $11.7 million in 1996 to $12.4 million in 1997.  This net increase
is due primarily to the increase in building  construction  revenues referred to
above (although at a substantially  lower margin than those experienced on civil
construction projects);  the decrease in civil construction revenues; and losses
incurred in closing out several building  construction  projects in the Midwest.
The gross  profit from real estate  operations  decreased  $.4  million,  from a
profit of $.1 million in 1996 to a loss of $.3 million in 1997 due  primarily to
the decrease in condominium sales in Georgia referred to above.

General, administrative and selling expenses decreased by $1.3 million (or 16%),
from $8.1 million in 1996 to $6.8 million in 1997  primarily due to  down-sizing
and refocusing of certain marginal construction units.

Other  income  (expense)  net  increased  by $.3 million  (or 100%),  from a net
expense of $.3  million in 1996 to a net  expense of $.6  million in 1997 due to
increased  amortization  of  deferred  debt  expense  related  to the new credit
agreement.

Interest  expense  increased by $1.0 million (or 59%), from $1.7 million in 1996
to $2.7 million in 1997 due to a higher average level of borrowings  during 1997
as well as higher effective interest rates.

The lower than normal tax rate in 1997 and 1996 is due to the utilization of tax
loss carry forwards from prior years. Because of certain accounting limitations,
the  Company was not able to  recognize a portion of the tax benefit  related to
the operating losses experienced in fiscal 1996 and 1995.

Financial Condition

Working capital  increased $43.4 million,  from $56.7 million at the end of 1996
to $100.1  million at March 31, 1997,  the highest  level in recent  years.  The
primary  reasons  for the  increase  in  working  capital  are the net  proceeds
received  from  the  sale of the  Redeemable  Cumulative  Convertible  Series  B
Preferred Stock ($27 million) and the increased  borrowings  under the Company's
Revolving Credit Facility ($15 million). The current ratio increased from 1.19:1
to 1.34:1 during this same period.

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



During the first three months of 1997, the Company  generated a $34.7 million in
cash from financing activities which included $26.7 million in net proceeds from
the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock and $8 million from net borrowings. The
$1.0 million  provided from investing  activities was essentially  offset by the
$1.0 million used by operating  activities,  primarily increased working capital
requirements.

Long-term  debt at March 31,  1997 was  $110.8  million,  an  increase  of $13.9
million from December 31, 1996.  The long-term debt to equity ratio at March 31,
1997 was 2.80 to 1, compared to 2.72 to 1 at December 31, 1996.

Effective  January  17,  1997 the  Company's  liquidity  and  access  to  future
borrowings,  as required,  during the next few years were significantly enhanced
by the $27 million in net proceeds  received upon the issuance of the new Series
B Preferred Stock and a new renegotiated  Revolving Credit Agreement.  Under the
new Credit  Agreement,  the previous  Revolving Credit Agreement and Bridge Loan
Facility  were combined into a single  $129.5  million  credit  facility and the
expiration dates extended from 1997 to January 1, 2000. The new Credit Agreement
provides for scheduled  mandatory  reductions in the commitment in the amount of
$15.0  million in 1997,  $15.0  million in 1998,  $12.5  million in 1999 and the
balance  in 2000.  Management  believes  that cash  generated  from  operations,
existing credit lines and additional  borrowings  should be adequate to meet the
Company's funding requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Outlook

The  statements  contained in this Outlook  that are not purely  historical  are
forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  including
statements regarding the Company's expectations,  hopes, beliefs,  intentions or
strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this
Outlook are based on information available to the Company on the date hereof. It
is important to note that the Company's  actual results could differ  materially
from those in such forward-looking statements.

Looking ahead, we must consider the Company's construction backlog and remaining
portfolio of real estate projects. The overall construction backlog at March 31,
1997 was a $1.533 billion which  represented a slight  increase over the backlog
at December 31, 1996. While  approximately 40% of the current backlog relates to
building  construction  projects which  generally  represent  lower risk,  lower
margin  work,  approximately  60%  of  the  current  backlog  relates  to  heavy
construction projects which generally represent higher risk, but correspondingly
higher margin work.

The  Company's  strategic  plan to  generate  up to $30  million  in  short-term
liquidity from certain of its real estate properties  through  accelerated sales
is proceeding according to plan.

Part II. - Other Information


Item 1. - Legal Proceedings - None

Item 2. - Changes in Securities

(a)(b)(c)        On January 17, 1997, the Company issued and sold 150,150 shares
                 of Series B Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred Stock, par value
                 $1.00  per share  (the  "Series B  Preferred"),  to PB  Capital
                 Partners, L.P., The Union Labor Life Insurance Company Separate
                 Account P and The Common Fund for Non-Profit Organization for a
                 price  of  $200  per  share,  or a  total  purchase  price  of
                 $30,030,000.  Dividends  are  payable on the Series B Preferred
                 either in cash or in additional shares of Series B Preferred (a
                 "Payment-In-  Kind").  The cash  dividend  rate is 7 percent (9
                 percent  upon  the  occurrence  of  certain  defaults)  and the
                 Payment-In-Kind  dividend  rate is 10 percent (12 percent  upon
                 the  occurrence  of  certain   defaults)  of  the   Liquidation
                 Preference,  which  is equal  to $200  per  share  of  Series B
                 Preferred.  The terms of the Series B Preferred provide that no
                 cash  dividends  or  other  cash  distributions  may be paid in
                 respect of the Company's Common Stock until 2001, at which time
                 limited  dividends  may be paid if  authorized  by the Board of
                 Directors.

                 Each share of Series B Preferred is  convertible,  at any time,
                 at  the   election   of  the   holder,   into  fully  paid  and
                 nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the rate of that number
                 of  shares  of Common  Stock  that is equal to the  Liquidation
                 Preference.  Holders  of the  Series B  Preferred  have  voting
                 rights equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which
                 it is convertible  and will vote as a class with holders of the
                 Common Stock.

                 Upon the  issuance  of the  Series B  Preferred,  the rights of
                 existing  stockholders were affected in several principal ways.
                 As the Series B Preferred is convertible and have voting rights
                 equal to the number of shares of Common  Stock into which it is
                 convertible,  the voting  rights of  existing  stockholders  is
                 diluted. In addition,  the right of the holders of the Series B
                 Preferred to  designate  certain  directors  and members of the
                 Executive   Committee,   including   providing  such  Executive
                 Committee  members  with an effective  veto over certain  major
                 decisions  of the  Company,  is also a  dilutive  effect on the
                 voting  rights  of  stockholders.  In  addition,  the  Series B
                 Preferred  may also have a dilutive  effect on the earnings per
                 share of the Company due to the increase in number of shares of
                 Common Stock on a fully diluted  basis.  Furthermore,  the book
                 value of each  share of  Common  Stock  may  decrease  due to a
                 conversion price below book value.

                 Registration  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
                 "Act"),  of the Series B  Preferred  was not  required  for the
                 reason  that the  Series B  Preferred  was issued and sold to a
                 limited number of investors and  accomplished  in  transactions
                 not involving a public  offering  within the meaning of Section
                 4(2) of the Act.

Item 3. - Defaults Upon Senior Securities

(a)     None

(b)     In accordance with the provisions of the 1995 Amended  Revolving  Credit
        Agreement  and the  recently  renegotiated  new  Credit  Agreement,  the
        Company  suspended   payment  of  quarterly   dividends  on  its  $21.25
        Convertible  Exchangeable  Preferred  Stock ("Senior  Preferred  Stock")
        commencing  with the dividend  that  normally  would have been  declared
        during December, 1995 through the dividend that would normally have been
        declared  during March,  1997 for a total arrearage of $31.875 per share
        (or $3.1875 per depositary share) which aggregates $3,187,500 to

        date.  While these  dividends have not been declared or paid,  they have
        been fully accrued in accordance  with the  "cumulative"  feature of the
        stock.

Item 4. - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

(a)     January 17, 1997 - Special Meeting of Shareholders

(b)     Not applicable
