              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,  1997.  The Company  has made no  significant
     change in these policies during 1998.

(2)  Provision For Income Taxes

     The lower-than-normal tax rate in 1998 and 1997 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 basic and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") 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):

     Basic  EPS  equals  diluted  EPS  for  the  periods  presented  due  to the
     immaterial  effect  of  stock  options  and  the  antidilutive   effect  of
     conversion of the Company's depositary  convertible  exchangeable preferred
     shares into common stock.

(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 $21.25  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).   The  aggregate  amount  of  dividends  in  arrears  is
     approximately  $5,843,000 at June 30, 1998 which  represents  approximately
     $58.43 per share of Preferred Stock or  approximately  $5.84 per Depositary
     Share and is included in Long

     Under the terms of the  Preferred  Stock,  the  holders  of the  Depositary
     Shares were entitled to elect two additional Directors since dividends have
     been deferred for more than six quarters and such directors were elected at
     the May 14, 1998 Annual Meeting.  Quarterly  In-kind dividends (based on an
     annual  rate of 10%) were paid on March 16,  1998 on the Series B Preferred
     Stock to the stockholders of record on March 2, 1998. The dividend was paid
     in the form of approximately  4,108 additional shares of Series B Preferred
     Stock  valued  at  $200.00  per  share  for a total  of  $821,501.  In-kind
     dividends for the second quarter were paid on June 15, 1998 to stockholders
     of  record  on  June  1,  1998.  The  dividend  was  paid  in the  form  of
     approximately 4,210 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued at
     $200.00 per share for a total of $842,039.
 
(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,  1997.  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 June 30, 1998 and  December  31, 1997 and results of  operations  and
     cash flows for the three  month and six month  periods  ended June 30, 1998
     and 1997. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30,
     1998 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
     ending December 31, 1998 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)  Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions
     of Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 "Reporting
     Comprehensive Income". There was no impact to the accompanying consolidated
     condensed  financial  statements  due to the  adoption  of this  statement,
     therefore no additional disclosure is required.

     In June 1998 the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
     Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities. The
     statement  establishes  accounting and reporting  standards  requiring that
     every  derivative  instrument  (including  certain  derivative  instruments
     embedded in other  contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an
     asset or liability  measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that
     changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized  currently in earnings
     unless specific hedge accounting  criteria are met. Special  accounting for
     qualifying hedges allows a derivative's  gains and losses to offset related
     results on the hedged item in the income  statement,  and requires that the
     company must formally document,  designate, and assess the effectiveness of
     transactions that receive hedge accounting.

     Statement  No. 133 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15,
     1999. A company may also implement the Statement as of the beginning of any
     fiscal  quarter  after  issuance.  Statement  No.  133  cannot  be  applied
     retroactively.

     The Company does not hold any significant  derivative instruments or engage
     in  significant  hedging  activities  and  therefore the impact of adopting
     Statement No. 133 is expected to be immaterial.  The Company plans to adopt
     Statement No. 133 on January 1, 1999, the start of the next fiscal year.

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


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

    Comparison of the Second Quarter of 1998 with the Second Quarter of 1997

Revenues  decreased  $110.7  million (or 28.4%),  from $388.9 million in 1997 to
$278.2  million in 1998.  This  decrease  resulted from  decreased  construction
revenues  of $87.9  million (or  24.3%),  from $361.6  million in 1997 to $273.7
million in 1998,  due  primarily to decreases in revenues from both building and
civil construction operations. Revenues from building operations decreased $54.2
million (or 22.3%),  from $243.5  million in 1997 to $189.3  million in 1998 due
primarily to a decrease in revenues from  correctional  facility projects in the
East.  Revenues from civil  operations  decreased  $33.7 million (or 28.5%) from
$118.1  million in 1997 to $84.4  million in 1998 due primarily to the timing in
the start up of new infrastructure  projects in the Northeast.  In addition, the
decision to phase out two construction divisions in the Midwest also contributed
to the decrease in revenues  from both the building  and civil  operations.  The
decline in real estate  revenues of $22.8 million (or 83.7%) is primarily due to
the non-recurring revenues related to the 1997 sale of the Company's interest in
the Resort at Squaw Creek in California.

In spite of the overall 28% decrease in total revenues  described  above,  total
gross  profit  of  $12.4  million  only  decreased  by $.8  million  (or 6%) due
primarily to improved margins on both the building and civil  construction  work
performed in 1998.

General,  administrative  and selling  expenses  decreased $.7 million (or 8.6%)
from $8.1 million in 1997 to $7.4  million in 1998 due  primarily to phasing out
of the two  construction  divisions  in the  Midwest  as  well  as  efficiencies
achieved by combining certain other divisions.

Other income  (expense),  net decreased by $.2 million from a net expense of $.3
million  in 1997 to a net  expense of $.1  million in 1998 due to a decrease  in
bank financing fees and a decrease in amortization of deferred debt expense.

Interest  expense  decreased by $.8  million,  from $2.3 million in 1997 to $1.5
million in 1998 due primarily to lower averge levels of borrowing in 1998.

The lower than normal tax rate in 1998 and 1997 for all periods presented is due
to the  utilization  of tax loss  carryforwards  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.

                Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
                     and the Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

Revenues  decreased  $208.5  million (or 29.1%)  from $716.1  million in 1997 to
$507.6  million in 1998.  This  decrease  resulted from  decreased  construction
revenues of $186.2  million  (or 27.4%)  from  $679.2  million in 1997 to $493.0
million  in  1998,   due   primarily  to  decrease  in  revenues  from  building
construction operations of $143.2 million (or 29.3%) from $488.8 million in 1997
to $345.6 million in 1998.  Decreased  building  construction  revenues were due
primarily to the timing in the start of new  hotel/casino  projects in Las Vegas
and,  to a lesser  degree,  a decrease in revenues  from  correctional  facility
projects  in the East.  Civil  construction  revenues  also  decreased  by $43.0
million (or 22.6%), from $190.4 million in 1997 to $147.4 million in 1998 due to
the timing in the start up of new infrastructure projects in the Northeast.  The
phasing out of two  construction  divisions  in the Midwest  contributed  to the
decrease in revenues from both the building and civil operations. The decline in
real  estate   revenues  of  $22.3  million  (or  60.4%)  is  primarily  due  to
non-recurring revenues related to the 1997 sale of the Company's interest in the
Resort at Squaw Creek.

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


In spite of the  decrease in  revenues,  the total gross  profit only  decreased
slightly,  from $25.3 million in 1997 to $24.8 million in 1998, primarily due to
improved margin on both the building and civil work performed in 1998.

General  administrative  and  selling  expenses  decreased  slightly  from $14.9
million in 1997 to $14.4 million in 1998 due primarily to the phasing out of two
construction  divisions in the Midwest which was partially offset by an increase
in selling expenses  incurred by the real estate operations in the first quarter
of 1998.

Other income  (expense)  net  decreased by $.5 million from a net expense of $.9
million in 1997 to a net  expense  of $.4  million  in 1998 due  primarily  to a
decrease in bank financing fees and a decrease in  amortization of deferred debt
expense.

Interest  expense  decreased by $.8  million,  from $5.1 million in 1997 to $4.3
million in 1998 due primarily to lower levels of borrowing in 1998.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

Working capital  decreased $23.2 million,  from $72.0 million at the end of 1997
to $48.8  million at June 30,  1998.  The  primary  reason for the  decrease  in
working capital was the  reclassificiation  of certain items between current and
long-term  during the first quarter of 1998,  because of a change in real estate
strategy and a certain long-term  liability becoming current.  The current ratio
decreased from 1.31:1 to 1.22:1 during this same period.

During the first six months of 1998,  the Company  generated  $40.0 million from
operating activities,  primarily from changes in working capital, which was used
to fund financing activities ($23.5 million),  primarily to paydown debt, and to
increase cash by $16.5 million.

Long-term debt at June 30, 1998 was $66.4  million,  a decrease of $18.5 million
from  December 31, 1997 due to the  reduction in borrowing  under the  Company's
Revolving Credit  Facility.  The long-term debt to equity ratio at June 30, 1998
was 1.41 to 1, compared to 2.08 to 1 at December 31, 1997.

At June 30,  1998,  the Company had $47.8  million  available  under its line of
credit facilities.  Management  believes that cash generated from operations and
its  existing  credit  lines  should be adequate to meet the  Company's  funding
requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Outlook
- -------

     General - 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.

     Construction - Looking ahead,  we must consider the Company's  construction
     backlog  and  remaining  portfolio  of real  estate  projects.  The overall
     construction  backlog  at  June  30,  1998  was  at  $1.490  billion  which
     represented a slight decrease over the backlog at December 31, 1997.  While
     approximately  47% of the current backlog relates to building  construction
     projects  which  generally   represent  lower  risk,   lower  margin  work,
     approximately  53% of the  current  backlog  relates to heavy  construction
     projects which

     generally represent higher risk, but correspondingly higher margin work.

     Rincon Center - As previously  reported in Note 11 of the December 31, 1997
     Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 1997 Form 10-K,
     the Company's Real Estate subsidiary,  Perini Land and Development Company,
     the managing  general  partner of Rincon Center  Associates,  has reached a
     preliminary  agreement  with the  parties  in Rincon  Center,  a  mixed-use
     property  in San  Francisco,  subject  to  various  approvals  and  further
     negotiations,  with regard to restructuring  certain financial  obligations
     and ownership interests.  These negotiations are continuing and include the
     possible  acquisition of the property known as Rincon I, previously sold in
     1988 under a sale leaseback  transaction.  While further  negotiations with
     and final approval by the various parties involved are ongoing, the Company
     has received the  appropriate  waivers or  assurances  to date that (i) the
     Lessor on  Rincon I will  continue  to defer  enforcement  of the  purchase
     requirement  provisions  under the  Master  Lease,  and (ii)  while the $33
     million  loan to the  Lessor  on Rincon I has  matured,  the  lenders  have
     deferred   enforcement   of  any  remedies   pending   completion   of  the
     restructuring  discussions.  It continues  to be the opinion of  management
     that the final resolution of these  negotiations and restructure of certain
     financial  obligations  will not have a material  impact on the  results of
     operations or financial  condition as reported in the financial  statements
     included in this Form 10-Q.

     Year 2000 - Since many computers, related software and certain devices with
     embedded microchips record only the last two digits of a year, they may not
     be able to recognize that January 1, 2000 (or subsequent dates) comes after
     December 31, 1999.  This situation  could cause  erroneous  calculations or
     system   shutdowns,   causing   problems   that  could  range  from  merely
     inconvenient to significant.  As previously  reported in the Company's 1997
     Form  10-K,  the  Company  began a project  to review  all of its  computer
     systems in 1995.  One factor,  among many, to consider was what impact,  if
     any,  would  the Year 2000 have on  computer  systems.  As a result of this
     project,  the Company  implemented new fully integrated online construction
     specific  financial systems during the first quarter of 1998 which are Year
     2000  compliant.  The  Company  recognizes  the Year 2000 issue could be an
     overall  business  problem,  not just a  technical  problem,  therefore  it
     recently  established  a Year 2000  Committee  to identify all of the other
     potential  Year 2000  problems  that could  impact the  Company,  including
     readiness  issues for its computer  applications  and  business  processes,
     those  of  its  facilities,   equipment  and  joint  ventures,  along  with
     relationships  with  third  parties,   such  as  our  customers,   vendors,
     subcontractors and other business  partners;  develop plans to evaluate the
     significance of the potential problem;  develop plans to remedy or minimize
     the  potential  problem;  assign  appropriate  resources;  and  monitor the
     implementation  of  the  plans.  Since  the  Company  is  generally  in the
     identification  phase of this project,  except for its recently implemented
     new financial systems,  the Company is unable to estimate the total cost to
     achieve  Year  2000  readiness.   While  the  Company  currently  does  not
     anticipate  any material  disruption  in its  operations as a result of any
     failure by the Company to be in compliance,  the Company does not currently
     have any  information  concerning  the Year 2000  compliance  status of its
     suppliers and customers. In the event that any of the Company's significant
     suppliers or customers does not  successfully  and timely achieve Year 2000
     compliance,  the  Company's  business  or  operations  could  be  adversely
     affected.
