Statements 			 1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994, the results of its operations for the six months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 and the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 and changes in cash flow for the six months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes threto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September, 1994. 2. Retentions: Contract retentions which are collectible upon the owner's approval of contract performance on construction contracts are included under receivables and amount to $6,840,000 and $5,507,000 at March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994, respectively. 										 3. Backlog: The backlog of uncompleted contracting work was approximately $84,272,000 on contracts in force as of March 31, 1995, compared with $91,425,000 as of March 31, 1994, inclusive of the Company's proportionate share of contract backlog from joint ventures amounting to $1,724,000 at March 31, 1995 and $8,308,000 at March 31, 1994. 4. Cash: Cash balances at March 31, 1995 include approximately $1,229,000 in restricted time deposits maintained in lieu of retention which will be released upon completion of the related construction projects. Interest income on these deposits are credited to the Company. 5. Dividends: A $.10 per share dividend was paid on February 15, 1995 to stockholders of record as of February 6, 1995. The dividend amounted to $144,000. 				 Amelco Corporation and Subsidiaries Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital Resources and Liquidity Cash balances increased from $2,690,000 at September 30, 1994 to $3,122,000 at March 31, 1995. This increase in cash of $432,000 consisted of approximately $575,000 provided from financing activities which was partially offset by $56,000 used by operating activities and $87,000 used by investing activities. Net cash used by operating activities resulted largely from payments on accounts payable and accrued expenses amounting to $3,193,000 and an increase in costs and recognized profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of $2,246,000. These uses of cash were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $3,468,000, a decrease in investment in joint ventures of $1,033,000 and an increase in billings in excess of costs and recognized profits of $793,000. In addition, prepaid expenses increased by $326,000 consisting primarily of insurance premiums paid at policy inception. Net cash provided by financing activities included $550,000 in borrowings under the Company's lines of credit and $540,000 under a short term note to finance insurance premiums. These changes were offset by repayments of long term debt and short term notes aggregating $371,000 and payment of a $144,000 cash dividend to stockholders on February 15, 1995. Net cash used by investing activities of $87,000 consisted primarily of capital expenditures of $88,000. 	 The Company's construction backlog amounted to approximately $84,272,000 at March 31, 1995, of which approximately $67.7 million was in California, $9.1 million was in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin, and $7.5 million in other western continental U. S. states. The Company's revolving lines of credit aggregating $6,000,000 were renewed in March 1995. At March 31, 1995, there was $550,000 borrowed under these lines of credit. Management believes that the present liquidity of the Company together with the availability of the aforementioned lines of credit are adequate to provide the necessary working capital to fund the Company's operations in the near future. Consolidated working capital amounted to $11,018,000 at March 31, 1995 as compared to $10,551,000 at September 30, 1994. The working capital ratio increased slightly from 1.42 at September 30, 1994 to 1.48 at March 31, 1995. 				 Amelco Corporation and Subsidiaries Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued) Results of Operations Consolidated revenues increased by 24.8% and 23.9% in the three and six months periods ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The change in the six month period includes a revenue increase of approximately $14.2 million from the California operations which was partially offset by revenue decreases of $1.6 million from the Hawaii operations and $0.6 million from other western continental U.S. states. The change in California revenues is largely a result of the increased construction backlog obtained in the second half of fiscal 1994. Changes in revenue volume reflect primarily the degree of success in bidding on new work as well as the scheduling requirements of the customer, and are not necessarily indicative of revenue volume or profitability in future periods. Gross profits increased by $49,000 in the three months period ended March 31, 1995 and by $425,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 1995. Gross profits as a percentage of revenue were 7.9% and 8.1% in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1995 as compared to 9.7% and 9.2% in the three and six month period ended March 31, 1994. The decrease results from a combination of the continued highly competitive conditions in the construction market and the Company's focus on the procurement of larger projects as a prime contractor. Management's ability to enhance profit margins in its business is largely limited to its ability to identify profitable bidding opportunities, estimate accurately during the bidding stage and upon award, to effectively manage jobsite performance. General and administrative expenses for the six month period increased from $3,901,000 in 1994 to $4,070,000 in 1995. The change is primarily attributable to increases in management, estimating and administrative staffing costs. Interest expense increased by $16,000 and $26,000 in the three and six months periods ended March 31, 1995. The increase results primarily from higher short term interest rates in 1995 as compared to the previous period. Part II Other Information 				 Item 4.
