1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The condensed consolidated financial statements
         included herein have been prepared by Granite Construction Incorporated
         (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
         of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
         footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
         in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
         condensed or omitted, although the Company believes the disclosures
         which are made are adequate to make the information presented not
         misleading. Further, the condensed consolidated financial statements
         reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments
         necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 1996 and
         the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The
         December 31, 1995 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived
         from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
         required by generally accepted accounting principles.

         Interim results are subject to significant seasonal variations and the
         results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

8.       STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: Under the terms of the Company's 1990 Omnibus
         Stock and Incentive Plan, 209,697 shares of restricted common stock
         were issued and 116,837 shares vested during the six months ended June
         30, 1996. Unearned compensation is amortized over the restriction
         periods. Compensation expense related to restricted shares was $492 and
         $390 for the three months ended and $984 and $779 for the six months
         ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. During 1996, the Company
         purchased, in satisfaction of certain officers' income tax liabilities
         related to the maturation of restricted stock issues, 27,608 shares
         which are classified as treasury stock.

         During the six months ended June 30, 1996, employee stock options for
         53,450 shares at $11.34 per share were exercised.

9.       INCOME TAXES: The provision for income taxes is computed using the
         anticipated effective tax rate for the year.

10.      NET INCOME PER SHARE: Income per share amounts are computed using the
         weighted average number of common and common equivalent (dilutive stock
         options) shares outstanding during each period. Common share
         equivalents are included in the weighted average number of common
         shares outstanding only when the effect is not antidilutive.

11.      CONTINGENCIES: The Company is currently a party to various claims and
         legal proceedings, none of which is considered by management to be
         material to the Company's financial position.

12.      STOCK SPLIT: On March 5, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a three
         for two stock split in the form of a 50% stock dividend paid on April
         19, 1996 to stockholders of record on March 31, 1996. All references in
         the financial statements to number of shares and per share amounts of
         the Company's common stock have been retroactively restated to reflect
         the increased number of shares outstanding.

13.      RECLASSIFICATION: Certain previously reported amounts have been
         reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

ITEM 2:        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors affecting the Company's financial position and operating results during
the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements.

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
contains 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 about future federal and state spending levels, pending
state and federal legislation and future public and private bidding
opportunities. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $248.5 million, bringing the six
month total to $402.2 million, an increase of $21.8 million, or 9.6% and $70.2
million, or 21.2%, respectively, over the same periods last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, revenue from public sector contracts
increased $23.0 million to $287.0 million, or 71.4% of total revenue, from
$264.0 million, or 79.5% of total revenue in 1995. Revenue from private sector
contracts of $73.6 million, or 18.3% of total revenue, was up $38.7 million from
the six months ended June 30, 1995 level of $34.9 million, or 10.5% of total
revenue. Revenue in the Company's primary geographical area, California,
increased to $216.6 million from $203.1 million last year but decreased as a
percent of total revenue to 53.8% from 61.1% resulting from the Company's
ongoing diversification strategy.

The public sector backlog decrease to 84.4% of total backlog from 88.9% at
December 31, 1995 and 94.1% at June 30, 1995 reflects the improved private
sector backlog of $98.9 million, or 15.6% of total backlog. This private sector
backlog represents an increase of $33.2 million over December 31, 1995 and an
increase of $56.1 million from June 30, 1995.

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $29.2 million, or 11.8% of
revenue, as compared to $29.7 million, or 13.1% of revenue, for 1995. The six
month gross profit increased $0.5 million to $43.9 million, or 10.9% of revenue
versus $43.4 million or 13.1% in 1995. The change in gross profit reflects the
successful execution of a higher volume of work, offset partially by the
dilutive effect of major projects which contributed to revenues but have yet to
reach the 25% completion threshold whereby the Company would begin to recognize
earnings.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996
decreased $0.1 million to $16.8 million, or 6.8% of revenue, as compared to 7.5%
of revenue for the same quarter of 1995. For the six months, general and
administrative expenses increased $2.3 million to $32.3 million, but went down
as a percent of revenue to 8.0% versus 9.0% last year. The six month increase
primarily reflects the additional overhead in the first quarter of 1996 from the
Utah branch acquired in the second quarter of 1995 and other costs associated
with a higher volume of work.

Other income increased $2.1 million for the quarter and $2.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 primarily reflecting the Company's share of gains on
sales of surplus equipment in joint ventures.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $9.1 million, or $0.51 per
share, an increase of $0.8 million or $0.04 per share from the quarter ended
June 30, 1995 net income of $8.3 million, or $0.47 per share. For the six
months, net income was $9.5 million, or $0.53 per share, a $0.1 million, or
$0.01 per share decrease from the prior year net income of $9.6 million, or
$0.54 per share (as adjusted for a three for two stock split effective April 19,
1996). (See Note 12 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements).

OUTLOOK

Going forward, we are pursuing a number of quality bid opportunities across the
country, including a $1.0 billion design-build freeway reconstruction project in
Salt Lake City, private toll roads in Minnesota, Delaware and Oregon and
numerous highway projects in Florida, California, Nevada, Arizona, lllinois and
Texas.

Moreover, we anticipate continued improvement in private sector opportunities in
many of our geographic markets as California and the mountain states continue to
outperform the rest of the country from an economic standpoint. This should
translate into increased commercial/residential site development opportunities
as well as the potential for a slight margin improvement in our public sector
marketplace.

We have been successful in growing our business outside our California base, as
evidenced by the fact that 45% of our second quarter revenue was contributed by
our non-California operations. For example, in Florida the Company now has about
$118 million worth of work underway. Our goal is to continue to expand our
business throughout the United States.

The high level of bidding activity we are currently engaged in is driven in
great degree by the strong public sector funding now available from federal,
state and local sources. Looking out to next year, Congress is expected to
appropriate about $19.6 billion for transportation-related construction in
fiscal year 1997, a decrease of less than 1% from the prior year's
appropriation. With the current cost-cutting mood of Congress, our industry has
been somewhat successful in convincing federal policy makers that continued
investment in our transportation infrastructure is vital to a thriving economy.

Elsewhere, the debate continues in California as to whether money from the state
highway account should be used for the seismic retrofit of the toll bridges in
the San Francisco Bay area. Proposition 192, the $2 billion seismic retrofit
bond measure approved by voters in March, was supposed to cover the cost of
finishing the state's retrofit program. However, just before the election, the
state disclosed that the cost of retrofitting the San Francisco - Oakland Bay
Bridge was estimated to cost almost double the amount that had been earmarked in
Prop 192 to retrofit all of the state's toll bridges. Bay Area politicians want
to use the highway account to make up the shortfall while we believe toll
revenues should be used to complete the retrofitting of the state's toll
bridges. Currently, lawmakers in Sacramento are attempting to forge a
compromise. Clearly, tapping the state highway account to pay for the toll
bridge retrofit effort would have a significant impact on our California road
building business.

Also in Washington, there is a move afoot to transfer the 4.3 cents of the
federal gasoline tax currently being used for deficit reduction to the highway
trust fund, which would provide additional dollars for highway construction.
Senator Byrd has authored an amendment that has bipartisan support on Capitol
Hill and could likely be acted upon after Congress ends its summer recess.
Elsewhere in Washington, the move to take the highway trust funds out of the
unified federal budget has passed the House but has stalled in the Senate.

Locally in California, the fate of using county sales tax for transportation
improvements will most likely be decided in November in Santa Clara County.
Under the confines of Propositions 13 and 62, any special tax, like one raised
for the specific purpose of transportation improvement, must have a two-thirds
majority to pass. In an effort to get around this obstacle, the Santa Clara
County Supervisors recently approved putting two measures on the November
ballot. The first would increase the general sales tax by one-half cent. The
other is advisory only and would indicate the voters' preference to the
Supervisors, detailing specific projects that could be completed with the
additional sales tax monies. The ability of 17 other California counties to
renew their sales tax- based transportation improvement programs will hinge on
what happens this Fall in Santa Clara County.

Finally, recognizing that we are heavily dependent on the sometimes whimsical
political process for public sector funding, we intend to diversify our sources
of revenue and profits over a broader range of markets while at the same time
retaining a tight focus on heavy civil construction and aggregate materials
production. The intent is to provide a better balance between public and private
markets and take advantage of opportunities in other construction sectors.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Cash used by operating activities of $3.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996 represents a $10.2 million decrease from the 1995 amount for the same
period. The decrease primarily reflects the change to equity in construction
joint ventures and net cash used in the performance of contracts. Changes in
cash provided from operations reflect seasonal variations based on the amount
and progress of work being performed.

Cash provided by investing activities in 1996 improved $2.9 million primarily
reflecting a $15.9 million increase in net maturities of short-term investments
offset by a $12.6 million increase in cash used to purchase property and
equipment.

Cash used in financing activities decreased $3.1 million primarily reflecting
the increase of $3.2 million in dividends paid in 1996 due to the increased
quarterly dividend and special dividend declared in the first quarter of 1996.
Repayments of long-term debt increased $6.9 million and were offset by
borrowings of $7.0 million.

The Company's current borrowing capacity under its restated revolving line of
credit is $50 million of which $32.5 million was available on June 30, 1996. The
Company believes that its current cash balances combined with cash flows from
operations and cash available under its revolving credit agreements will be
sufficient to meet its operating needs, anticipated capital expenditure plans
and other financial commitments at least through 1996.
