                  MEADOW VALLEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Nature of Corporation:

     Meadow Valley Corporation (the "Company") was organized under the laws of
the State of Nevada on September 15, 1994. The principal business purpose of the
Company is to operate as the holding Company of Meadow Valley Contractors, Inc.
(MVC) and Ready Mix, Inc. (RMI). MVC is a general contractor, primarily engaged
in the construction of structural concrete highway bridges and overpasses, and
the paving of highways and airport runways in the states of Nevada, Arizona,
Utah and New Mexico. RMI is a producer and retailer of ready-mix concrete
operating in the Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix, AZ metropolitan areas. Formed by the
Company, RMI commenced operations in 1997.

2.   Presentation of Interim Information:

     The amounts included in this report are unaudited; however, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the
stated periods have been included. These adjustments are of a 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. It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
operating results for the entire year.

3.   Revenue and Cost Recognition:

     Revenues and costs from fixed-price and modified fixed-price construction
contracts are recognized for each contract on the percentage-of-completion
method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to the estimated
total of direct costs. Direct costs include, among other things, direct labor,
field labor, equipment rent, subcontracting, direct materials, and direct
overhead. General and administrative expenses are accounted for as period costs
and are, therefore, not included in the calculation of the estimates to complete
construction contracts in progress. Project losses are provided in the period in
which such losses are determined, without reference to the percentage-of-
completion. As contracts can extend over one or more accounting periods,
revisions in costs and earnings estimated during the course of the work are
reflected during the accounting period in which the facts that required such
revisions become known.

     Claims for additional contract revenue are recognized only to the extent
that contract costs relating to the claim have been incurred and evidence
provides a legal basis for the claim. At June 30, 2000, revenue and costs in the
amount of $4,806,636 were recorded related to claims. The estimated total claims
that have been filed or will be filed exceed $20,660,000 at June 30, 2000.

5.   Line of Credit:

          In July 2000, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement
("line of credit"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may borrow
$7,000,000 at Chase Manhattan Bank's prime, plus .25% through December 31, 2000.
The Company paid off the $1,507,500 note payable with proceeds from the line of
credit.

6.   Discontinued Operations:

          In June 1998, the Company adopted a formal plan ( the "plan" ) to
discontinue the operations of Prestressed Products Incorporated ("PPI"). The
plan included the completion of approximately $2.8 million of uncompleted
contracts and the disposition of approximately $1.2 million of equipment. The
Company recorded an estimated loss of $1,950,000 (net of income tax benefit of
$1,300,000), related to the disposal of assets for PPI, which included a
provision of $1,350,000 for estimated operating losses during the phase-out
period.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

     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.

     Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set
forth in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
"safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that may cause actual results to differ materially. The Company disclaims any
intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

     The Company's backlog (anticipated revenue from the uncompleted portions of
awarded projects) was approximately $88.4 million at June 30, 2000, compared to
approximately $134.0 million at June 30, 1999.  At June 30, 2000, the Company's
backlog included approximately $61 million of work that is scheduled for
completion during 2000. Accordingly, revenue in 2000 and 2001 will be
significantly reduced if the Company is unable to obtain substantial new
projects during 2000.  During the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, the
Company obtained new projects totaling $24.9 million.

     Revenue on uncompleted fixed price contracts is recorded under the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting.  The Company begins to recognize
revenue on its contracts when it first accrues direct costs.  Contracts often
involve work periods in excess of one year and revisions in cost and profit
estimates during construction are reflected in the accounting period in which
the facts that require the revision become known.   Losses on contracts, if any,
are provided in total when determined, regardless of the percent complete.
Claims for additional contract revenue are recognized only to the extent that
contract costs relating to the claim have been incurred or evidence provides a
legal basis for the claim.  At June 30, 2000, revenue in the amount of $4.8
million were recorded related to claims.  The estimated total claims that have
been filed or will be filed exceed $20.6 million.  If the Company is not
successful in obtaining any portion of the $4.8 million in claim settlement
revenue, there would be a reduction in earnings.

Results of Operations

     The following table sets forth, for the six and the three months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, certain items derived from the Company's Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations expressed as a percentage of revenue.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

     Revenue and Backlog.  Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000
("interim 2000") was $83.9 million compared to $112.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 ("interim 1999").  The decrease in revenue was the result of
a $28.3 million decrease in contract revenue and a $.3 million decrease in
revenue generated from construction materials production and manufacturing sold
to non-affiliates.  Backlog decreased 34% to approximately $88.4 million at June
30, 2000 from approximately $134 million at June 30, 1999.  Revenue may be
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
decreased from 4.8% for interim 1999 to 3.8% for interim 2000.  The decrease in
MVC's gross profit margin was the result of cost overruns on certain projects
offset, in part, by increased profit recognition related to several projects
nearing completion at June 30, 2000.  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 Expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased to 3,049,453 for interim 2000 from $3,573,061 for interim 1999.  The
decrease resulted primarily from reduction of costs related to various employee
incentive plans amounting to $538,124.

     Interest Income and Expense.  Interest income for interim 2000 increased to
$299,930 from $275,194 in interim 1999 due to an increase in interest bearing
retention receivables.  Interest expense decreased in interim 2000 to $79,328
from $107,019, due primarily to a $1,000,000 reduction in related party debt at
the beginning of interim 1999.

     Net Income After Income Taxes.  Net income after income taxes was $242,530
in interim 2000 as compared to $1,228,351 for interim 1999.  The decrease
resulted from lower revenues along with decreased gross profit margins, offset,
in part, by higher interest income, lower interest expense and a decrease in
general and administrative expenses.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

     Revenue and Backlog.  Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000
("interim 2000") was $45.4 million compared to $54.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 ("interim 1999").  The decrease in revenue was the
result of a $8.8 million decrease in contract revenue.  Backlog decreased 34% to
approximately $88.4 million at June 30, 2000 from approximately $134 million at
June 30, 1999.  Revenue may be 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
decreased from 4.9% for interim 1999 to 3.1% for interim 2000.  The decrease in
MVC's gross profit margin was the result of cost overruns on certain projects
offset, in part, by increased profit recognition related to several projects
nearing completion at June 30, 2000.  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 Expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased to $1,474,909 for interim 2000 from $1,617,492 for interim 1999.  The
decrease resulted primarily from costs related to various employee incentive
plans amounting to $154,453.

     Interest Income and Expense.  Interest income for interim 2000 decreased to
$133,813 from $136,448 in interim 1999 due to a decrease in interest bearing
retention receivables.  Interest expense decreased in interim 2000 to $33,794
from $54,660, due primarily to a $1,000,000 reduction in related party debt at
the beginning of interim 1999.

     Net Income After Income Taxes.  Net income after income taxes was $15,366
in interim 2000 as compared to $676,539 for interim 1999.  The decrease resulted
from lower revenues along with decreased gross profit margins, offset, in part,
by lower interest expense and a decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     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 to address
fluctuations in the work-in-process billing cycle.

     The following table sets forth for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, certain items from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

</TABLE>

     As the Company expands its operations, particularly its aggregate, ready
mix concrete and asphalt production, cash may be reduced to finance receivables,
build inventories and for customer cash retention required under contracts
subject to completion.  Management continually monitors the Company's cash
requirements in an effort to maintain adequate cash reserves.  The Company is
currently experiencing a decline in its backlog and several larger projects are
nearing final stages of completion, resulting in a significant decline in the
Company's cash reserves.  It is not unusual for cash flows from construction
projects nearing the final stages of completion to have negative cash flows.
Accordingly, in July 2000 the Company secured a $7.0 million operating line of
credit.  The Company believes the $7.0 million operating line of credit,
together with the Company's historical ability to acquire new work may be
sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for the next twelve months.

     Cash used in operating activities during interim 2000 amounted to $2.9
million, primarily the result of a decrease in accounts payable of $2.3 million,
a decrease in accrued liabilities of $.4 million, an increase in inventory of
$.8 million, an increase in accounts receivable,net of $.5 million, and an
increase in net costs in excess of billings of $.2 million offset, in part, by
net income of $.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.2 million and a
decrease in prepaid expenses and other of $.2 million.

     Cash used in operating activities during interim 1999 amounted to $.5
million, primarily the result of an increase in accounts payable of $2.6
million, net income of $1.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.0
million and a decrease in income tax receivable of $.3 million, offset, in part,
by an increase in accounts receivable of $3.5 million, and increase in prepaid
expenses and other of $.9 million and a decrease in accrued liabilities of .5
million.

     Cash used in investing activities during interim 2000 amounted to $.8
million related primarily to the purchase of property and equipment of $.6
million and an increase in restricted cash of $.4 million, offset by proceeds
from the sale of property and equipment in the amount of $.2 million.

     Cash used in investing activities during interim 1999 amounted to $2.0
million related primarily to the purchase of property and equipment of $1.3
million, an increase in restricted cash of $1.0 million and the purchase of
treasury stock held for funding employer retirement plan contributions of $.5
million offset, in part, by an increase in net liabilities and reserves of

     Cash used in financing activities during interim 1999 amounted to $2.0
million including $1.0 million repayment of a loan from a related party and
repayments of notes payable and capital lease obligations in the amount of $1.0
million. The aforementioned note payable-related party was due to a principal
shareholder of the Company, the Richard C. Lewis Family Revocable Trust I.

     In July 2000, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement ("line of
credit").  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may borrow $7,000,000
at Chase Manhattan Bank's prime, plus .25% through December 31, 2000.  In July
2000, the Company borrowed approximately $3,000,000 from the line of credit at
9.75%, Chase Manhattan Bank's prime, plus .25%. The Company used a portion of
the line of credit proceeds to pay off a note payable in the amount of
$1,507,500.
