Note to Financial Statement

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


The unaudited financial statements included herein were prepared 
from the books of the Company in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles and reflect all adjustments which 
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair 
statement of the results of operations and financial position for 
the statements presented. Such financial statements generally 
conform to the presentation reflected in the Company=s Annual 
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995, and 
reflect adjustments which are solely of a normal recurring 
nature.  These financial statements do not include all of the 
disclosures normally made in the company=s annual Form 10-KSB 
filing. These financial statements should be read in conjunction 
with the Company=s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Certain amounts from the 1995 financial statements have been 
reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.



Item 2.	Management=s Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operation.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 as Compared with the 
Three Months Ended March 31, 1995


Results of Operations

Contract Income - The Company experienced an increase in contract 
income from $100,509 during the three months ended March 31, 1995 
to $663,281 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. During the 
three months ended March 31, 1995, contract income was impacted 
due to delays in getting final plans from owners and/or 
architects as well as delays caused by the complexity of the 
projects which the Company was bidding. During the first three 
months of 1995 the Company put in place a new management team 
that focused on improving client selection and implementing 
systems in order to improve the profitability of each project. 
The management team has focused on negotiated contracts as 
opposed to the prior emphasis on competitively bid fixed price 
contracts. The contract income for the three month period ended 
March 31, 1996, is representative of the change in focus of the 
operations of the Company as 77% of the income resulted from 
negotiated contracts while none of the Company=s contract income 
for the comparable period of 1995 resulted from negotiated 
contracts. The average size construction project that the Company 
had under contract at March 31, 1996 was $446,500 as compared to 
$880,800 as of March 31, 1995.

Contract costs - The efforts of the Company=s new management 
team, which commenced
approximately February 1995, have resulted in levels of contract 
costs that are better than the industry average as compiled by 
the Construction Financial Management Association, which reported 
a 1994 industry contract cost stated as a percentage of contract 
income of 91.9% . For the three  months ended March 31, 1996, the 
Company experienced contract costs, stated as a percentage of 
contract income, of 87%. 

Gross Profit - For the first quarter of 1996 the Company realized 
a gross profit percentage of 13% which reflects the impact of new 
management personnel and improved systems on the estimating, 
pricing and bidding of projects. The shift in emphasis to 
negotiated contracts reduces the risk that is attached to 
competitive bidding for projects. Negotiated contracts complement 
the business strategy of focusing on renovations and remodeling 
projects as these type of projects can be negotiated, 
subcontracted out and completed in a short time frame. 

General and Administrative Expenses - The Company=s general and 
administrative expenses are generally fixed in nature. The 
expenses decreased $60,240 from $270,175 in the first quarter of 
1995 to $209,935 during the comparable period of 1996. Of that 
decrease in expenses, $55,488 was attributable to a reduction in 
amortization expense related to a marketing agreement. The 
Company recognized the impairment of its International Marketing 
Agreement in 1995 and the asset was written off in its entirety 
in 1995 under the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 121.


Income (Loss) from Operations - The Company experienced a net 
operating loss of $(123,510) for the three months ended March 31, 
1996 as compared to a loss of $(118,600) for the three months 
ended March 31, 1995. 


Other Income and Expense - The Company realized $16,815 in 
interest income for the first three months of 1996 as compared to 
$14,348 in interest income during the same reporting period of 
1995. However, in 1995 the Company also realized a $38, 446 loss 
from the sale of marketable securities.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company=s current assets decreased 19% to $939,741 over the 
three months ended March 31, 1996. Current liabilities decreased 
by 22%, resulting in an increase in the current ratio from 2.52 
to 2.68 over the same period. Working capital decreased 17% to 
$568,335 over the three month period. The decrease in current 
assets, current liabilities and working capital resulted from  a 
decrease in the Company=s backlog of contracts to be performed 
from $5,031,619 at March 31, 1995 to $1,365,955 at March 31, 
1996. With less construction in process, the relative accounts 
receivable and accounts payable were at lower levels at March 31, 
1996 as compared to the same date in 1995.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The $103,720 loss from operations 
incurred during the three month period ending March 31, 1996, was 
the primary cause of the 20% decrease to $283,822 in the 
Company=s cash and cash equivalents.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities - Operating activities used 
net cash of $103,720 during the three months ended March 31, 1996 
as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $19,583 
during the same period of 1995. Such increase in cash usage was 
attributable to the lower level of construction in process at 
March 31, 1996 than at March 31, 1995 resulting in more funds 
being applied to accounts payable and less funds being provided 
by accounts receivable during the comparable three month periods.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities - During the three months 
ended March 31, 1995, the Company=s source of cash provided from 
investing activities was $357,853 in proceeds from the sale of 
investment securities. The 1995 transaction resulted in a 
complete liquidation of the Company=s holdings of investment 
securities.


Net Cash Used in Financing Activities - For the three months 
ended March 31, 1996, and the three months ended March 31, 1995, 
 the major use of cash for financing activities was advances made 
to Porter McLeod Management, Inc. (APMM@) and Porter McLeod 
Colorado, Inc. (APMC@), both of which are subsidiaries of Porter 
McLeod Holdings, Inc. (APMH@), the Company=s major shareholder. 
As the following table shows, the Company=s investment of capital 
resources in contract activities decreased due to fewer contracts 
as well as improved operations, billing and collection systems.

Accounts receivable affiliates - PMM, an affiliate of the 
Company, owes $780,104 to the Company, representing advances made 
to PMM with respect to the provision of key administrative 
services including management, bidding, data processing, 
accounting, marketing, and cash management services. The increase 
of $11,981 over the balance due at December 31, 1995 represents 
interest accrual on that portion of the accounts receivable that 
is evidenced by the promissory note discussed below. Management 
believes this relationship to be economically beneficial to the 
Company through reduced overall administrative costs. PMM does 
not make any profit with regard to such activities. The Company 
has made such advances to protect the economic benefits and 
preserve the above-mentioned business benefits which the Company 
derives from its dealings with its affiliate. PMM=s obligation to 
repay approximately $605,000 of such advanced funds, plus 
interest thereon computed at the rate of seven percent per annum, 
is evidenced by a promissory note providing for payment of said 
obligation in three annual installments of $201,976, plus accrued 
interest, commencing on March 31, 1995 and continuing yearly 
thereafter through 1997. Payment of such indebtedness was 
guaranteed by PMC, PMH, and by Messrs. Bruce Porter and Joseph 
McLeod, both of whom are officers and directors of the Company, 
and the sole shareholders of PMH. PMM failed to pay the first two 
such installments, and the default created thereby remains in 
effect through March 31, 1996. Based upon a plan which management 
began to formulate prior to the time when such installment became 
due, the Company expects to collect the full amount of such 
indebtedness through a transfer of ownership of more than 80% of 
the outstanding common stock of PMC by PMH to the Company, and a 
merger of PMH, PMC and PMM with and into the Company. Management 
presently anticipates that the Company=s shareholders will be 
asked to consider and grant approval of such transaction at the 
annual meeting of stockholders which is scheduled to take place 
on or about July, 1996.





Part II - Other Information

Item 1. 	Legal Proceedings

Harvey Sender, Trustee, et al, against Bruce M. Porter, Joseph R. 
McLeod, et al, United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of 
Colorado (Case No. 94-21830 RJB). The trustee in bankruptcy of 
Porter McLeod, Inc. (APMI@) and its subsidiaries, commenced an 
adversary proceeding on or about March 29, 1996 against the 
Company, PMH, PMM, PMC, Messrs. Porter and McLeod, and others, 
alleging among other things, that (a) in or about the early part 
of 1992, the defendants formulated a plan of reorganization to 
help PMI to deal with losses that it had suffered in connection 
with operations it had conducted in 1991 in Southern California; 
(b) such plan of reorganization included the isolation of 
Aproblem contracts@ in PMI and its subsidiaries, and the transfer 
of Agood contracts@ to the Company, PMH and PMC, which allegedly 
had been formed for the purpose of implementing such plan; and 
(c) through a series of allegedly backdated documents, assets 
belonging to PMI and its subsidiaries were purportedly 
transferred to the  Company, PMC, PMM, and PMH for deminimus or 
non-existent consideration. By reason of such factual 
allegations, the plaintiffs are seeking (i) to recover all of the 
assets of PMI which were allegedly transferred without adequate 
consideration; (ii) an accounting of all the assets of PMI and 
its subsidiaries which were allegedly transferred without 
adequate consideration; (iii) a turnover of the proceeds derived 
by the defendants from their performance of the Agood contracts;@ 
(iv) subordination of the claims of the Company, PMC and PMM to 
the claims of all other unsecured creditors in PMI=s bankruptcy 
proceedings; (v) damages against the Company, PMH, PMC, and PMM 
for alleged breaches of contract in the aggregate amount of 
approximately $4.7 million; (vi) unspecified damages and 
exemplary damages against PMH and Messrs. Porter and McLeod by 
reason of their alleged breaches of fiduciary duties owed to the 
plaintiffs; (vii) imposition of constructive trust upon all of 
the assets of the Company, PMC, PMM, and Messrs. Porter and 
McLeod until all sums due and owing to the plaintiffs are paid in 
full; (viii) damages in the amount of approximately $5.4 million, 
plus interest, costs and attorneys fees, based upon the above-
mentioned allegedly wrongful acts purportedly undertaken by the 
Company, PMC, PMM, and Messrs. Porter and McLeod as part of a 
civil conspiracy; and (ix) treble damages in the amount of 
approximately $893, 000, plus interest, costs and attorneys fees, 
based upon an alleged conversion and civil theft of the proceeds 
of checks which were allegedly property of the plaintiffs and 
deposited into accounts maintained by PMC.

A companion case was simultaneously commenced by the same 
plaintiffs against the Company, PMH, PMC, and PMM in the District 
Court for the City and County of Denver, Colorado (Case NO. 96 CV 
1240) which alleges that the Company, PMH, PMC, and PMM are the 
successors to all the liabilities of the plaintiffs. By reason 
thereof, the plaintiffs are seeking (i) judgment against the 
defendants in the amount of the plaintiffs= indebtedness to their 
respective creditors, i.e., the aggregate amount of approximately 
$4.7 million; and (ii) preliminary and permanent injunctive 
relief requiring the defendants to operate only in the normal 
course of business.
The Company is confident that the true facts regarding the 
corporate reorganization which took place in 1992 will firmly 
establish that (a) the reorganization was undertaken for proper 
purposes, and was validly and legally executed; (b) none of the 
assets of the plaintiffs was improperly or illegally transferred 
to any of the defendants; (c) the defendants received full and 
fair consideration for any assets transferred by the plaintiffs 
to any of the defendants; (d) none of the defendants breached any 
contractual or fiduciary obligation owed to any of the 
plaintiffs; and (e) none of the defendants committed any of the 
wrongful acts alleged against them by the plaintiffs. In addition 
to the above-described substantive defenses, the Company believes 
that many, if not all, of the claims alleged in both proceedings 
have been time barred under applicable procedural rules. 
Accordingly, the Company and other defendants intend to 
vigorously defend themselves in both proceedings.

Item 6.	Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

(a)	No exhibits have been filed with this Report.

(b)	The Company did not file any Current Reports on 
Form 8-K
during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
