1.  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.

2.  Newly Issued Accounting Standards

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" and No.
129,   "Disclosure  of  Information  about  Capital  Structure."  SFAS  No.  128
establishes  standards for computing  and  presenting  earnings per share (EPS),
replacing the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. SFAS
No. 129 consolidates the existing disclosure  requirements regarding an entity's
capital  structure.  SFAS  No.  128 and  No.  129 are  effective  for  financial
statements  issued for periods ending after  December 15, 1997 and  accordingly,
management has not determined the impact on the Company's  financial  statements
for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

</TABLE>



4.  Stock Options and Warrants

At March 31, 1997, the company had options outstanding with respect to 1,161,044
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.

5.  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.

6.  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.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, continued

Results of Operations
Quarter  ended March 31, 1997 vs.  Quarter ended March 31, 1996 (in thousands of
dollars except share and per share amounts)

Revenue:

The company's  revenue of $120,058 in the first quarter of 1997  increased by 21
percent  over the  corresponding  $99,185  in the  first  quarter  of 1996.  The
increase in revenue was attributable to the impact of new contract awards in the
latter  part of 1995 and in 1996,  some of which  are of three  years or more in
duration, that are making a significant contribution to revenue in 1997.

The backlog of  uncompleted  contracts  amounted to $661,165 at March 31,  1997,
representing  an  increase  of 7  percent  over the March 31,  1996  backlog  of
$615,293.  New contract  awards for the first quarter of 1997 were $171,883,  an
increase of 136 percent  over the  $72,808 of new  contract  awards in the first
quarter of 1996.

Gross margin:

The Company's  gross margin of $11,541 in the first quarter of 1997 increased by
34 percent over the 1996 first quarter gross margin of $8,625. This increase was
primarily due to higher  revenues in the first quarter of 1997 compared with the
1996 period, combined with a more profitable mix of construction projects.

General and administrative expense:

General and  administrative  expenses of $11,174 in 1997 were 13 percent  higher
than the corresponding  figure of $9,878 in 1996 due to the company's  increased
business  development and construction  bidding  activities in both domestic and
foreign construction markets.

Interest income:

Interest  income  decreased to $137 in 1997 from $854 in 1996 due to the reduced
level of invested cash balances in 1997.

Interest expense:

Interest expense increased to $879 in the first quarter of 1997 from $157 in the
corresponding  1996  period.  This  increase  was  due to the  higher  level  of
borrowings during the 1997 period compared with 1996.

Miscellaneous:

Net  miscellaneous   expense  amounted  to  $213  in  1997,  compared  with  net
miscellaneous income of $622 in 1996.  Miscellaneous income and expense consists
of gains and losses  from  property  dispositions,  foreign  exchange  and other
non-operating  items.  The $622 of income in 1996 was primarily  attributable to
the  sale of  surplus  property,  while  the  expense  of  $213  in  1997  was a
combination of foreign exchange and other non-operating expenses.

Income taxes and net income:

The company's  loss before taxes  amounted to $588 in the first quarter of 1997,
compared with income  before taxes of $66 in the first  quarter of 1996.  Income
tax expense was $804 in 1997 compared  with $549 in 1996.  Income tax expense in
both years was primarily attributable to foreign income taxes on foreign source
income.

                                                                          Page 9
<PAGE>


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, continued

Net loss for the first quarter of 1997 amounted to $1,392, compared with $483 in
the corresponding period of 1996.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating  activities utilized cash of $7,546 in the three month period of 1997,
compared with $37,753 during the corresponding period of 1996.

Cash  utilization by operating  activities in 1997 was attributable to increased
balances  of  accounts  receivable  and  inventories  and  unamortized  costs on
contracts,  partially  offset by  increased  balances  of  accounts  payable and
accrued liabilities.  This increased level of investment in working capital is a
function of the increased  revenue from  construction  activity in 1997 compared
with 1996.

The company carries an accounts receivable of approximately  $40,000 relating to
a contract to construct the first phase of a continuing care retirement facility
in  Southern  California.  This  facility  was  completed  in June of 1996,  and
day-to-day operation of the facility is being performed under the supervision of
a court-appointed  trustee-in-bankruptcy.  As one of the secured creditors,  the
company is taking an active role in developing a plan of reorganization  for the
facility.  While there can be no  assurance  as to the  outcome of this  matter,
based on discussions with potential buyers of the facility, the company believes
it will be  successful  in  recovering  the full amount of its  receivable.  The
timing  of   repayment   to  the  company  will  depend  on  the  terms  of  the
reorganization plan adopted by the bankruptcy court.

In addition, the company has unamortized costs of approximately $20,000 relating
to a contract to  construct  a pulp mill in  Indonesia.  This amount  represents
additional costs resulting from schedule delays, contract acceleration and other
contract  changes  beyond  the  company's  control,  for  which  it  is  seeking
reimbursement. While there can be no assurance as to the collectibility of these
costs, the company expects to be fully reimbursed. The timing of collection will
depend upon the  progress of  negotiations  with the owner of the  facility  and
other responsible parties.

Investing  activities  generated  cash of $1,283 in 1997,  compared with $198 in
1996. The company selectively disposed of those surplus properties and equipment
that were no longer required.

The company's net cash deficiency from operations,  after allowing for investing
activities,  amounted to $6,263 in 1997 and $37,555 in 1996. This deficiency was
financed in 1997 primarily by short-term borrowings amounting to $5,600, and, in
1996 by  short-term  borrowings  of $5,000 and a reduction  in cash  balances of
$32,422.

The company has a syndicated  line of credit of $55,000 of which $15,000 expires
May 16, 1997 and $40,000 on June 30, 1997. The  availability of this facility is
reduced by any outstanding letters of credit. At March 31, 1997, the company had
$38,100 in outstanding  borrowings and $2,465 in outstanding  letters of credit.
The renewal of the  syndicated  facility is  currently  in  progress,  and it is
anticipated  that a  $55,000  facility,  expiring  June 30,  1998,  will be made
available  to the  company  under  terms  and  conditions  to be  determined  by
negotiation.

The Company  believes that its cash balances,  together with lines of credit and
funds  generated  from  operations  and other  sources will be adequate to cover
foreseeable future requirements.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


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

         The  Annual  Meeting  of  Shareholders  of  the  company  (the  "Annual
Meeting")  was held on May 2, 1997.  In addition to the  election of  directors,
shareholders  were asked to vote on a  proposal  to approve  the  Amendment  and
Restatement of the 1990 Executive Stock Plan.

         The first  table  below  sets  forth the total  number of votes for and
withheld  as to each of the  eight  candidates  for  director,  all of whom were
elected at the Annual Meeting.

         The second  table  below  sets forth the total  number of votes for and
against  and the  abstentions  and broker  non-votes  as to the  approval of the
Amendment and Restatement of the 1990 Executive Stock Plan. An affirmative  vote
of a majority of the shares  represented  and  entitled to vote was required for
passage. Abstentions, or shares represented by proxies marked "abstain," had the
same  effect as a vote  against the  proposal.  The failure of a broker or other
nominee to vote shares for a beneficial owner had no effect on the proposal. The
proposal  received an affirmative vote of approximately 65 percent of the shares
represented and entitled to vote.

                      GUY F. ATKINSON COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA
                            1990 EXECUTIVE STOCK PLAN
                             AS AMENDED AND RESTATED


1.       Establishment and Purpose.

         (a)      Guy  F.  Atkinson   Company  of  California   (the  "Company")
                  previously  adopted the Guy F. Atkinson  Company of California
                  1990  Executive  Stock Plan (the "Plan").  The Company  hereby
                  amends  and  restates  the Plan to read as set  forth  herein,
                  effective  as of March 17, 1997 (the  "Effective  Date"),  but
                  contingent  upon approval by the  shareholders  of the Company
                  within 12 months after the Effective Date. The Plan provides a
                  means whereby:

                  (1)      key employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries may
                           be given an  opportunity  to  purchase  shares of the
                           common stock of the Company (the "Stock") pursuant to
                           options which may qualify as incentive  stock options
                           under  Section 422 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of
                           1986,  as  amended  (the  "Code")   (referred  to  as
                           "incentive stock options");

                  (2)      Non-Employee   Directors   of  the  Company  and  key
                           employees of the Company and its  Subsidiaries may be
                           given an  opportunity  to  purchase  shares  of Stock
                           pursuant to options which do not qualify as incentive
                           stock  options  (referred to as  "nonqualified  stock
                           options");

                  (3)      Non-Employee   Directors   of  the  Company  and  key
                           employees  of the  Company and its  Subsidiaries  may
                           acquire  Stock  for such  consideration  (if any) and
                           subject  to  such   restrictions   (if  any)  as  the
                           Committee determines appropriate; and

                  (4)      Non-Employee Directors of the Company and key 
                           employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries may be 
                           granted rights or units the value of which s based on
                           the value of the Stock.  

         (b)      The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of
                  the Company by  encouraging  key  employees  and  Non-Employee
                  Directors to focus on long-range objectives, by attracting and
                  retaining  key  employees and  Non-Employee  Directors, and by
                  aligning  the financial interests of  key  employees  and Non-
                  Employee Directors with the interests of shareholders.

2.       Definitions.

         (a)      "Awards"  refers  collectively  to Stock grants,  Stock sales,
                  options to purchase  Stock,  stock  appreciation  rights,  and
                  units issued pursuant to this Plan.

         (b)      "Non-Employee Director" refers to a member of the Board who is
                  not a common-law employee of the Company or a Subsidiary.

                  Subsidiaries after adoption of the Plan.


                                                                         Page 13

3.       Administration of the Plan.

         (a)      The Plan shall be administered  by the Executive  Compensation
                  Committee (the  "Committee")  of the Board of Directors of the
                  Company (the "Board").

         (b)      The Committee shall consist of not less than two members, who 
                  shall be members of the Board.  The composition of the 
                  Committee shall satisfy:

                  (1)      such  requirements  as the  Securities  and  Exchange
                           Commission  may establish for  administrators  acting
                           under plans  intended to qualify for exemption  under
                           Rule 16b-3 (or its  successor)  under the  Securities
                           Exchange Act of 1934; and

                  (2)      such requirements as the Internal Revenue Service may
                           establish  for outside  directors  acting under plans
                           intended  to  qualify  for  exemption  under  section
                           162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.

         (c)      The  Committee  shall  meet at such  times and places and upon
                  such notice as the chairperson  determines.  A majority of the
                  Committee,  but not less than two persons,  shall constitute a
                  quorum.  Any acts of the Committee may be taken at any meeting
                  at which a quorum is present and shall be by majority  vote of
                  those members entitled to vote. Additionally, any acts reduced
                  to writing or  approved  in writing by all the  members of the
                  Committee shall be valid acts of the Committee.

         (d)      The  Committee   shall   determine  which  key  employees  and
                  Non-Employee  Directors  of the  Company  or its  Subsidiaries
                  shall be  granted  Awards  under the Plan,  the timing of such
                  Awards,  the terms thereof,  and the number of shares of Stock
                  subject to each Award.

         (e)      The Committee shall have the sole  authority,  in its absolute
                  discretion,  to  adopt,  amend  and  rescind  such  rules  and
                  regulations  as,  in  its  opinion,  may be  advisable  in the
                  administration  of the Plan,  to construe  and  interpret  the
                  Plan, the rules and regulations and the instruments evidencing
                  Awards   granted  under  the  Plan,  and  to  make  all  other
                  determinations   deemed   necessary  or   advisable   for  the
                  administration of the Plan. All decisions, determinations, and
                  interpretations  of the  Committee  shall  be  binding  on all
                  Participants.

         (f)      The Plan is  intended to meet the  requirements  of Rule 16b-3
                  promulgated by the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  under
                  Section 16(b) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 and the
                  requirements of Section  162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and shall be
                  administered and construed accordingly.

4.       Stock Subject to the Plan; Limitations on Award.

         (a)      Awards may be granted under the Plan to eligible persons for 
                  an aggregate of not more than two million (2,000,000) shares 
                  of Stock.  If an option is surrendered for cash or other 
                  consideration, or for any other reason ceases to be exercis-
                  able in whole or in part, the shares which were subject to 
                  such option but as to which the option had not been exercised 
                  shall continue to be available under the Plan.  If Stock is 
                  granted or sold subject to restrictions and is subsequently 
                  forfeited, the forfeited shares shall again be available for 
                  Awards under this Plan.  If stock appreciation rights are 
                  granted and subsequently lapse or are forfeited, the shares
                  to which the rights relate shall again be available for Awards
                  under the Plan.

         (b)      If there is any change in the Stock subject to the Plan or the
                  Stock subject to any Award granted under the Plan, through 
                  merger, consolidation, reorganization, spin-off, recapitaliza-
                  tion, reincorporation, stock split, stock dividend (in excess 
                  of two percent), extraordinary cash dividend or other change 
                  in the corporate structure of the Company, appropriate adjust-
                  ments may be made by the Committee in order to preserve but 
                  not to increase the benefits to the Participants, including 
                  adjustments in the aggregate number of shares subject to the 
                  Plan, the number of shares and the price per share subject to 
                  outstanding Awards, and the limitations in subparagraph (c) 
                  below.

         (c)      The Company shall not grant, issue or sell to any employee in 
                  any calendar year:

                  (1)      options pursuant to paragraph 7 to purchase more than
                           two hundred thousand (200,000) shares of Stock; or

                  (2)      stock  appreciation  rights with respect to more than
                           two  hundred  thousand  (200,000)  shares  of  Stock,
                           pursuant to paragraph 8.

5.       Eligibility.

         Persons who shall be  eligible to have Awards  granted to them shall be
         such key employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries as the Committee,
         in  its  discretion,   shall  designate  from  time  to  time  and  the
         Non-Employee Directors of the Company.

6.       Non-Employee Directors.

         Any other provision of the Plan  notwithstanding,  the participation of
         Non-Employee  Directors  in the Plan shall be subject to the  following
         restrictions:

         (a)      All  nonqualified  options granted to a Non-Employee  Director
                  under this paragraph 6 shall vest and become  exercisable with
                  respect to 33.33% of the options  granted on each of the first
                  three  annual  anniversary  dates of grant,  unless  otherwise
                  specified at the time of grant.

         (b)      The exercise price under all nonqualified options granted to a
                  Non-Employee Director under this paragraph 6 shall be equal to
                  one hundred  percent  (100%) of the fair market value of Stock
                  on the date of  grant,  payable  in any form  permitted  under
                  paragraph 14.

         (c)      All  nonqualified  options granted to a Non-Employee  Director
                  under this  paragraph 6 shall  terminate on the seventh  (7th)
                  anniversary of the date of the grant, regardless of whether or
                  not the individual  remains a member of the Board of Directors
                  during the full period.

7.       Terms and Conditions of Options.

         (a)      The exercise price of the Stock covered by each incentive 
                  stock option shall not be less than the per share fair market 
                  value of such Stock on the date the option is granted.  Not-
                  withstanding the foregoing, in the case of an incentive stock 
                  option granted to a person possessing more than ten percent 
                  (10%) of the combined voting power of the Company or any 
                  Subsidiary, the exercise price shall not be less than one 
                  hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of the 
                  Stock on the date the option is granted.  Nonqualified stock 
                  options may be granted with an exercise price less than fair 
                  market value.  The exercise price of an outstanding stock 
                  option shall be subject to adjustment to the extent provided 
                  in paragraph 4.


                                                                         Page 15

<PAGE>



         (b)      Each option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by
                  a written stock option  agreement  executed by the Company and
                  the person to whom such option is granted.

         (c)      The Committee  shall determine the term of each option granted
                  under the Plan,  but the term of each  option  shall be for no
                  more than ten (10) years; provided,  however, that in the case
                  of an incentive  stock option  granted to a person  possessing
                  more than ten percent  (10%) of the  combined  voting power of
                  the Company or any  Subsidiary,  the term shall be for no more
                  than five (5) years.

         (d)      The stock  option  agreement  may  contain  such other  terms,
                  provisions   and  conditions  as  may  be  determined  by  the
                  Committee  (not  inconsistent  with  this  Plan),   including,
                  without limitation,  stock appreciation rights with respect to
                  options  granted  under this Plan.  If an option,  or any part
                  thereof,  is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option,
                  the stock  option  agreement  shall  contain  those  terms and
                  conditions which are necessary to so qualify it.

8.       Stock Appreciation Rights.

         The  Committee  may,  under  such  terms  and  conditions  as it  deems
         appropriate,  authorize  the surrender by an optionee of all or part of
         an unexercised option and authorize a payment in consideration therefor
         in an amount equal to the difference obtained by subtracting the option
         price of the shares then subject to exercise under such option from the
         fair market value of the Stock  represented  by such shares on the date
         of  surrender,   provided  that  the  Committee  determines  that  such
         settlement is consistent with the purpose of the Plan. Such payment may
         be made in shares of Stock  valued at their  fair  market  value on the
         date of  surrender  of such option or in cash,  or partly in shares and
         partly in cash. Acceptance of surrender and the manner of payment shall

13.      Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.

         (a)      The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan
                  as it deems advisable;  provided,  however, except as provided
                  in  paragraph  4, the  Board  shall  not amend the Plan in the
                  following  respects  without the consent of shareholders  then
                  sufficient to approve the Plan in the first instance:

                  (1)      to increase the maximum number of shares subject to 
                           the Plan; or

                  (2)      to change the designation or class of persons 
                           eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.

         (b)      No Award may be  granted  during any  suspension  or after the
                  termination  of the  Plan,  and no  amendment,  suspension  or
                  termination  of the  Plan  shall,  without  the  Participant's
                  consent,  alter or impair any rights or obligations  under any
                  Award previously made under the Plan.

         (c)      This Plan shall  terminate  10 years from the date of the most
                  recent  amendment  approved  by  the  Company's  shareholders,
                  unless  previously  terminated  by the Board  pursuant to this
                  paragraph.

         (d)      Upon a  termination  of the Plan,  the Committee may authorize
                  the surrender by an optionee of all or part of an  unexercised
                  option and authorize a payment in consid  eration  therefor in
                  the same  manner  as if the  Participant  had  surrendered  an
                  option under paragraph 8 regarding stock appreciation rights.

14.      Consideration.

         Payment  of  the  exercise  price  of  an  option  or  payment  of  any
         consideration  required for a Stock Award granted under this Plan shall
         be made in cash;  provided,  however,  that the Committee,  in its sole
         discretion,  may establish procedures which permit a Participant to pay
         the  exercise or purchase  price in whole or in part by delivery  (on a
         form  prescribed  by the  Committee) of an  irrevocable  direction to a
         securities  broker approved by the Committee to sell shares and deliver
         all or a portion of the  proceeds  to the  Company  in payment  for the
         Stock.  The Committee  may also  establish  procedures  for the sale of
         shares of Stock to cover withholding taxes or the withholding of shares
         of Stock  issuable  upon  exercise  of an option to satisfy  applicable
         withholding taxes to the extent permitted by applicable law.

                                  Exhibit 10.2


                        AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         This is an amendment to that certain Employment Agreement (the "Agree-
ment" entered into as of April 21, 1994, by and between Jack J. Agresti (the 
"Executive") and Guy F. Atkinson Company of California, a Delaware corporation 
(the "Company").

         WHEREAS the  Executive  and the Company have entered into the Agreement
and now desire to amend Section 4(d) pertaining to the Executive's  supplemental
pension:

         NOW THEREFORE,  the Executive and the Company hereby agree that Section
4(d) of the Agreement shall be amended to read as follows:

                  (d)      Supplemental Pension.

                  (i) If the  Executive's  employment  with the  Company and any
         affiliates  terminates  before age 65 for any reason  other than Cause,
         death,  incapacity  or  voluntary  resignation  without Good Reason (as
         defined in Section 6(b)),  the Executive shall be entitled to a monthly
         benefit  equal to the  difference  between (A) the  Executive's  actual
         monthly  benefits  payable under the Atkinson 1987 Pension Plan and the
         Excess-Benefit  Plan  of Guy F.  Atkinson  Company  of  California  and
         Participating  Companies  and (B) the  monthly  benefits  that would be
         payable  under such  Plans if the  Executive  were age 65. The  monthly
         benefit  determined  under  this  Section  4(d) shall be payable to the
         Executive or to any  beneficiary  who is receiving  benefits  under the
         Atkinson 1987 Pension Plan with respect to the Executive,  and shall be
         paid at the same  times  and in the same  form as the  monthly  benefit
         under the Atkinson 1987 Pension Plan.

                  (ii) In  January of the year  following  the year in which the
         Executive (or his beneficiary) elects to begin receiving benefits under
         the Atkinson 1987 Pension Plan,  the Company shall purchase and deliver
         to the Executive an annuity contract from an insurance company selected
         by the Company to provide the  supplemental  pension  described  in (i)
         above,  if any, as well as the monthly benefit payable to the Executive
         under the Excess-Benefit  Plan of Guy F. Atkinson Company of California
         and Participating Companies (together,  the "Supplemental Pension"), on
         a net  after-tax  basis.  The amount of annuity  shall be calculated so
         that, after taking into account the exclusion ratio under section 72 of
         the  Internal  Revenue  Code and any similar  state or local income tax
         provisions,  the net after-tax  amount retained by the Executive equals
         the net after-tax amount the Executive would retain if the Company paid
         the Supplemental  Pension to the Executive  directly.  The Company also
         shall pay the  Executive  an amount  sufficient  to pay all  income and
         employment taxes with respect to the annuity contract,  plus all income
         and  employment  taxes with  respect  to such  payment  (the  "Gross-up
         Payment"),  at the  time  the  annuity  contract  is  delivered  to the
         Executive. The Executive shall provide the Company with all information
         reasonably  required to calculate the  Executive's  marginal income tax
         brackets in order to calculate the amount of the  Supplemental  Pension
         and the Gross-up Payment.  The Company and any successor to the Company
         shall  remain  liable for any  unpaid  Supplemental  Pension  under the
         annuity contract in the event of the insurance company's default.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has executed this amendment, in
the case of the Company by its  authorized  officer,  on this 20th day of March,
1997.
