Financial Statement Content

The information contained herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the
interim periods.


Inventories and Unamortized Costs on Contracts

Construction materials and supplies                   $1,830           $2,812
Unamortized costs on contracts                        24,238           18,175

Stock Options and Warrants

At June 30, 1996, the company had options outstanding with respect to
935,658 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $6.55 to
$11.95 per share.  The right to exercise these options vests progressively
over a four year period commencing with the date of issue and expiring
ten years from the date of issue.  In addition, there were stock warrants
outstanding for 387,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price
of $7.00 expiring in 1998.


Earnings Per Share

Net primary earnings per share of common and common stock equivalents
are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding, plus the net additional number of shares which would be
issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, assuming that
the company used the proceeds received to repurchase outstanding
shares at market prices.

Litigation and Contingencies

On March 7, 1995, a complaint asserting breach of contract and other
wrongdoing in connection with the company's sale of its manufacturing
subsidiary, Lake Center Industries, Inc., was filed against the company and
its financial advisor by an unsuccessful bidder for Lake Center.  The
plaintiffs allege they have suffered actual damages of $290 in connection
with preparing their bid and also seek to recover $7,000 on a theory of
unjust enrichment, together with an additional $10,000 in punitive damages.
The company will vigorously defend this suit, which it believes to be
without merit and further believes that the outcome will not have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition.

Results of Operations
Quarter ended June 30, 1996 vs. Quarter ended June 30, 1995
(in thousands of dollars except share and per share amounts)

        Revenue:   The company's revenue of $128,714 in the second
quarter of 1996 increased by 49% over the corresponding $86,434 in the
second quarter of 1995.  The increase in revenue was attributable to
the substantial volume of new contract awards in 1995 that is making a
significant contribution to revenue in 1996.  The backlog of
uncompleted contracts amounted to $540,115 at June 30, 1996,
representing an increase of 9% over the June 30, 1995 backlog of
$495,346.

        Gross margin:   The company's gross margin of $12,927 increased
by 78% in the second quarter of 1996 over the corresponding $7,264 in
1995.  The increase in gross margin was attributable to both the
increased volume of revenue as well as a more profitable mix of
construction contracts in 1996. The percentage of gross margin to
revenue increased to 10.0% in 1996 from 8.4% in 1995.

        General and administrative expense:   General and administrative
expenses of $10,113 in 1996 were 14% higher than the corresponding figure of
$8,882 in 1995 due to ongoing business development activities in construction,

    Interest income:   Interest income decreased to $703 in 1996 from

investment balances in 1996, offset in part, by interest earned on a
deferred receivable as discussed in "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

    Interest expense:   Interest expense increased to $152 in the
second quarter of 1996 from $57 in 1995.  The increase was due to the
increased level of borrowings in 1996 compared with 1995.

compared with miscellaneous income of $1,046 in 1995.  Miscellaneous

1996, compared with $411 in 1995.  Income tax expense was $1,406 in 1996

    Revenue:   Revenue of $227,899 for the six month period of 1996
increased by 29% over the corresponding $176,172 in 1995, due to the

improved operating margins.

    General and administrative expense:   General and administrative expenses of
$19,991 in 1996 were 13% higher than the corresponding $17,687 in 1995 due to

general and administrative expense for the quarter.

    Interest income:   Interest income decreased to $1,557 in the six month
period of 1996 from $2,086 in 1995 due to the reduced level of cash and short-

deferred receivable as outlined in the discussion of "Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

1995 due to a slightly higher average level of borrowings in 1996, compared
with 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Operating activities utilized cash of $36,730 in the six month period of
1996, compared with $17,741 of cash generated during the corresponding period
of 1995.
    The utilization of cash by operating activities in 1996 is attributable to
the cash requirements for mobilization of new construction projects commencing
in the first quarter of 1996, as well as the ongoing cash requirements of
existing projects which are expected to
                                                                       Page 10

Liquidity and Capital Resources

return cash to the company in the latter part of 1996.
    The utilization of cash by operating activities in 1996 is also due to an
account receivable of approximately $30,000 upon which the company has agreed
to accept deferred payment terms in exchange for certain financing fees and
other agreed compensation.  This receivable relates to a project to construct
the first phase of a continuing care retirement facility.  The funds to repay
the receivable are generated from the sale of residential units in the
facility, and are held in an escrow account to be released and applied
towards payment of the receivable at such time as 60% of the
residential units have been sold.  The construction of this facility
is complete, and approximately 51% of the units have been sold to
date.
    Investing activities utilized cash of $1,478 in 1996, compared
with $5,088 in 1995 as the company selectively acquired new
construction equipment to service its ongoing construction projects.
    The company's 1996 cash requirements for operations of $36,730
and net capital investments of $1,478 were financed by drawing upon
cash and short-term investments amounting to $35,895, and by short-term
borrowing of $2,200.
    The company has a two-year $40 million syndicated line of credit
which expires on June 30, 1997.  The availability of this line of
credit is reduced by any letters of credit which may be outstanding
under the lines.  At June 30, 1996, the company had $2,200 in outstanding
borrowings and $6,773 in outstanding letters of credit.
                                                                     Page 11
