     normal recurring nature.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
     normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.

     read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
     included in the Company's Annual Form 10-K under the Securities Exchange
     Act of 1934 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The

     the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the
     assets.  The assets are depreciated over their related lease terms.

</TABLE>

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1996

     Revenue and Backlog.  Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
("interim 1997") was $103.1 million compared to $98.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 ("interim 1996").  The increase in revenue was
the result of slight reduction in contract revenue of  $3.1 million offset in
part by a $7.3 million increase in revenue generated from construction materials
production and manufacturing sold to non-affiliates.  Backlog increased 41% to
approximately $141 million  at September 30, 1997, from approximately $100
million at September 30, 1996.  Revenue is impacted in any one period by the
backlog at the beginning of the period.

     Gross Profit.  As a percentage of revenue, consolidated gross profit margin
increased from 2.9% for interim 1996 to 5.4% for interim 1997.  The increase in
MVC's  gross profit margin was the result of lower gross profit margins in
interim 1996 due to (i) erratic weather conditions that delayed the completion
of a project and (ii) cost overruns.  Gross profit margins are affected by a
variety of factors including construction delays and difficulties due to weather
conditions, availability of materials, the timing of work performed by other
subcontractors and the physical and geological condition of the construction
site.

     General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased
from $2,095,156 for interim 1996 to $3,913,567 for interim 1997.  The increase
results primarily from expenses of $1,240,388 associated with the Company's
expansion in the Utah market and the Company's wholly-owned ready-mix concrete
and

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
precast/prestressed products subsidiaries which commenced operations in early
1997. The remainder of the increase was $337,512 in corporate labor and a
variety of costs including costs in excess of $35,000 related to enhancements in
the safety plan, $59,000 of expenses related to non-recurring consulting studies
and $87,000 related to increased corporate travel.

     Interest Income and Expense.  Interest income for interim 1997 decreased to
$449,336 from $492,200 for interim 1996 due to a decrease in cash reserves
resulting primarily from the expansion into the production and manufacturing of
construction materials and the purchase of construction equipment.  Interest
expense increased for interim 1997 to $476,286 from $433,434 for interim 1996
due to additional debt incurred related to the purchase of land, crushing,
screening and conveying equipment and construction vehicles and equipment.

     Net Income After Income Taxes.  Net income after income taxes was
$1,034,067 for interim 1997 as compared to $539,918 for interim 1996.  The
increase, offset somewhat by increased general and administrative expenses
discussed above, resulted from higher interim 1997 gross profit margins.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1996

     Revenue and Backlog.  Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1997
("interim 1997") was $42.3 million compared to $37.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 ("interim 1996").  The slight increase in
revenue was the result of a $.6 million increase in contract revenue and a $4.0
million increase in revenue generated from construction materials production and
manufacturing sold to non-affiliates.  Backlog increased 41% to approximately
$141 million  at September 30, 1997, from approximately $100 million at
September 30, 1996. Revenue is impacted in any one period by the backlog at the
beginning of the period.

     Gross Profit.  As a percentage of revenue, consolidated gross profit margin
increased from 3.6% for interim 1996 to 5.4% for interim 1997. While enhanced
somewhat by the construction materials production and manufacturing gross profit
margin, the increase in gross profit margin was primarily the result of MVC's
lower gross profit margins in interim 1996 due to (i) erratic weather conditions
that delayed the completion of a project and (ii) cost overruns. The gross
profit margins are affected by a variety of factors including construction
delays and difficulties due to weather conditions, availability of materials,
the timing of work performed by other subcontractors and the physical and
geological condition of the construction site.

     General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased
from $817,833 for interim 1996 to $1,435,612 for interim 1997.  The increase
results primarily from expenses of $584,761 associated with the Company's
expansion in the Utah market and the Company's wholly-owned ready-mix concrete
and precast/prestressed products subsidiaries which commenced operations in
early 1997.

     Interest Income and Expense.  Interest income for interim 1997 increased to
$191,776 from $180,953 for interim 1996 due to a increase in cash reserves
resulting primarily from increase profit margins.  Interest expense increased
for interim 1997 to $175,272 from $167,590 for interim 1996 due to additional
debt incurred related to the purchase of land, crushing, screening and conveying
equipment and construction vehicles and equipment offset, in part, by a decrease
in interest expense related to interest bearing retention payables.

     Net Income After Income Taxes.  Net income after income taxes was $542,328
for interim 1997 as compared to $369,266 for interim 1996.  The increase, offset
somewhat by increased general and administrative expenses discussed above,
resulted from higher interim 1997 gross profit margins.

     The  Company's primary need for capital has been to finance expansion and
capital expenditures.  Historically, the Company's primary source of cash has
been from operations. Revenue growth has required additional capital to finance
expanded receivables, retentions and capital expenditures and address
fluctuations in the work-in-process billing cycle.

     Although the Company expects increased profitability  as operations
improve, cash is required to finance expansion, contract retention receivables
and accounts receivable.  In general, cash flows from projects are negative
until a project is approximately 15% complete, then become positive during the
middle approximately 70% of the project, and again become negative during the
final approximately 15% of the project.

     Accounts receivable and net billings in excess of costs ("costs") at
September 30, 1997, were approximately $21.5 million versus $26.9 million at
September 30, 1996 a decrease of 25%.  The Company contracts primarily with
public sector customers, which it believes significantly reduces exposure to
conventional bad debts.  Accordingly, based on the Company's history of no
material delays in the collection of accounts receivable, no material allowance
was established for potentially uncollectible accounts at September 30, 1997.

     Cash used by investing activities during interim 1997 was  approximately
$2,800,000, and included the receipt of retentions held in a restricted cash
account of approximately $100,000 and proceeds from the sale of property and
equipment of approximately $200,000, offset by $3,100,000 in  equipment
purchases.  Cash used by investing activities during interim 1996 was
approximately $800,000, and included the receipt of retentions held in a
restricted cash account of approximately $700,000 and proceeds from the sale of
property and equipment of approximately $100,000, offset by  $1,600,000 in
equipment purchases.

     Cash used in financing activities during interim 1997 included
approximately $213,000 repayment of capital lease obligations and $293,000
repayment of  notes payable.    Cash used in financing activities during interim
1996 included approximately $73,000 repayment of capital lease obligations and
$70,000 repayment of notes payable.

     The Company currently has available from a commercial bank a $2,000,000
operating line of credit ("line of credit") at an interest rate of the
commercial bank's prime plus .50%, and a $2,000,000 operating line of credit at
an interest rate of the commercial bank's prime plus .25%.  At September 30,
1997, nothing had been drawn on either of the lines of credit.

     The Company anticipates financing approximately $500,000 of the $1.4
million already paid in connection with the construction of the existing ready-
mix batch plant and building.  It is anticipated that a substantial portion of
the costs of a planned second ready-mix plant and related equipment will be
financed through operating leases and that a second site may not require the
purchase of land.  Currently, the Company is leasing 40 ready-mix trucks with
estimated annual lease payments of $885,000.

          Management believes that the Company's cash reserves, together with
its lines of credit, its capacity to arrange capital and operating leases and
its anticipated cash flow from operations, are sufficient to fund its cash
requirements for the next 12 months and that the Company's working capital will
be adequate to fund its short term and long term requirements.
