              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1)     Basis of Presentation

        The unaudited  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements  presented
        herein have been prepared in accordance  with the  instructions  to Form
        10-Q and do not  include  all of the  information  and note  disclosures
        required by generally accepted accounting  principles.  These statements
        should be read in  conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes
        thereto  included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December
        31,  1998.  In the opinion of  management,  the  accompanying  unaudited
        condensed financial statements include all adjustments,  consisting only
        of  normal  recurring  adjustments,  necessary  to  present  fairly  the
        Company's  financial  position  as of  March  31,  1999 and  results  of
        operations  and cash flows for the three month  periods  ended March 31,
        1999 and 1998.  The results of  operations  for the three  month  period
        ended March 31, 1999 may not be  indicative  of the results  that may be
        expected for the year ending  December  31, 1999  because the  Company's
        results generally  consist of a limited number of large  transactions in
        both  construction  and real  estate.  Therefore,  such results can vary
        depending  on the  timing  of  transactions  and  the  profitability  of
        projects being reported.

 (2)    Significant Accounting Policies

        The  significant  accounting  policies  followed  by the Company and its
        subsidiaries in preparing its consolidated  financial statements are set
        forth in Note (1) to such financial statements included in Form 10-K for
        the year ended  December 31, 1998.  The Company has made no  significant
        change in these policies during 1999.

(3)     Provision For Income Taxes

        The lower-than-normal tax rate in 1999 and 1998 reflects the realization
        of a portion of the tax  benefit  not  recognized  in prior years due to
        certain accounting limitations.

(4)     Per Share Data

        Computations of basic and diluted  earnings per common share amounts are
        based on the weighted  average  number of the  Company's  common  shares
        outstanding during the periods presented.  Earnings available for common
        shares  are  calculated  as  follows  (in  thousands,  except  per share
        amounts):

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Continued)



(4)     Per Share Data (continued)

        Basic  EPS  equals  diluted  EPS for the  periods  presented  due to the
        immaterial  effect  of stock  options  and the  antidilutive  effect  of
        conversion of the Company's Senior  Preferred Stock,  Series B Preferred
        Stock and Stock Purchase Warrants into common stock.

(5)     Dividends

        There were no cash dividends on common stock declared or paid during the
        periods  presented in the consolidated  condensed  financial  statements
        presented herein.

        As  previously  disclosed,  in  conjunction  with the  covenants  of the
        Company's  Amended  Revolving Credit Agreement as well as the New Credit
        Agreement,  effective  January  17,  1997,  the  Company is  required to
        suspend the payment of quarterly dividends on its $21.25 preferred stock
        ("Senior  Preferred  Stock") until certain  financial  criteria are met.
        Therefore,  the  dividends on the Senior  Preferred  Stock have not been
        declared  since 1995  (although  they have been fully accrued due to the
        "cumulative"  feature  of the Senior  Preferred  Stock).  The  aggregate
        amount of dividends in arrears is approximately  $7,437,000 at March 31,
        1999 which represents  approximately $74.37 per share of Preferred Stock
        or  approximately  $7.44 per Depositary  Share and is included in "Other
        Liabilities"  (long-term)  in the  accompanying  Consolidated  Condensed
        Balance Sheet.  Under the terms of the Preferred  Stock,  the holders of
        the Depositary  Shares were entitled to elect two  additional  Directors
        since  dividends  had been  deferred for more than six quarters and they
        did so at the May 14, 1998 Annual Meeting.

        Quarterly  In-kind  dividends (based on an annual rate of 10%) were paid
        on March 15, 1999 on the Series B Preferred Stock to the stockholders of
        record  on  March  1,  1999.  The  dividend  was  paid  in the  form  of
        approximately 4,534 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued
        at $200.00 per share for a total of $906,783.

       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Comparison of the First Quarter of 1999 with the First Quarter of 1998

Revenues  increased  $27.2  million  (or  11.9%),  from $229.4 in 1998 to $256.6
million in 1999. This increase resulted from increased  construction revenues of
$32.7 million (or 14.9%), from $219.2 million in 1998 to $251.9 million in 1999,
due  primarily  to an  increase  in building  construction  operations  of $26.8
million or (17.2%),  from $156.2  million in 1998 to $183.0 million in 1999, and
to a lesser  degree,  an  increase  in revenues  from civil  operations  of $5.9
million  (or  9.4%),  from  $63.0  million  in 1998 to  $68.9  million  in 1999.
Increased building  construction  revenues were due primarily to the start-up of
several new fast-track  hotel/casino  projects by the Company's western building
operations   which  was  partially   offset  by  a  decrease  in  revenues  from
correctional  facilities  projects in the  Northeast  that have been  completed.
Increased civil construction revenues were due primarily to the favorable impact
of several large infrastructure  projects in the Northeast.  The decline of real
estate  revenues of $5.5 million,  from $10.2 million in 1998 to $4.7 million in
1999 is due to non-recurring  revenues related to the 1998 sale of two buildings
in Massachusetts.

In  spite of the  increase  in  total  revenues  described  above,  income  from
operations of the Company's  business segments  decreased by $1.0 million,  from
$7.3  million  in 1998 to $6.3  million in 1999 - see Note 6. The  decrease  was
primarily  due to a  $0.8  million  decrease  in  operating  income  from  civil
operations,  from $2.8  million in 1998 to $2.0 million in 1999,  that  resulted
from a lower average margin on the civil  construction  backlog going into 1999.
Although revenues from building  construction  operations  increased by over 17%
during the quarter, income from operations decreased slightly to $4.6 million in
1999 from $4.8  million in 1998  because of the  favorable  close out of certain
contracts  during the first quarter of 1998. The operating loss from real estate
remained constant at approximately $0.3 million during both periods.

Interest  expense  decreased by $1.2 million,  from $2.8 million in 1998 to $1.6
million in 1999 due  primarily  to a reduction  in the average  amount  borrowed
under the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement.

The lower than normal tax rate in 1999 and 1998 is due to the utilization of tax
loss carryforwards from prior years. Because of certain accounting  limitations,
the  Company was not able to  recognize a portion of the tax benefit  related to
the operating losses experienced in fiscal 1996 and 1995.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

Working capital  increased $11.0 million,  from $57.7 million at the end of 1998
to $68.7 million at March 31, 1999.  The current ratio  increased from 1.29:1 to
1.34:1 during this same period.

During the first three months of 1999,  the Company  used $23.9  million in cash
and $18.0 million of additional  borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit
Agreement  to fund $34.6  million used by operating  activities,  primarily  for
changes in working capital, and $7.3 million for investing activities, primarily
to fund construction joint ventures.

Long-term debt at March 31, 1999 was $80.3 million,  an increase of $4.4 million
from December 31, 1998.  The long-term debt to equity ratio at March 31, 1999 of
1.52 to 1 approximated the 1.50 to 1 at December 31, 1998.

Effective March 23, 1999, the Company finalized certain changes to its Revolving
Credit Agreement with its Bank Group,  including  extending the Revolving Credit
Agreement  from  January  3, 2000 to  January  3,  2001.  Other  changes  to the
Revolving Credit Agreement include, among other things, a scheduled

mandatory reduction in the maximum commitment of $20.0 million in 1999 and $15.0
million  in 2000,  with the  balance  in 2001,  additional  permanent  mandatory
reductions,  as  defined,  from the net  proceeds  from real  estate  sales,  an
interest rate increase of 1/2 of 1% in 1999 and an additional 1/4 of 1% increase
in 2000, and a one-time bank fee of $483,000. At March 31, 1999, the Company had
$7.3  million  available  to borrow  under its $96.0  million  Revolving  Credit
Agreement.  Management  believes that cash generated from  operations,  existing
credit lines and additional  borrowings should be adequate to meet the Company's
funding requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Outlook
- -------

o       General - The  statements  contained in this Outlook that are not purely
        historical are 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  regarding  the  Company's
        expectations,  hopes,  beliefs,  intentions or strategies  regarding the
        future.  All  forward-looking  statements  included in this  Outlook are
        based on information  available to the Company on the date hereof. It is
        important  to note  that  the  Company's  actual  results  could  differ
        materially from those in such forward-looking  statements,  whether as a
        result of new information, future events or otherwise.

o       Operations - Looking ahead, we must consider the Company's  construction
        backlog and  remaining  portfolio of real estate  projects.  The overall
        construction  backlog at March 31, 1999 was at $1.029  billion,  a 16.5%
        decrease from the backlog at December 31, 1998, which primarily reflects
        the timing in finalizing certain construction  contracts currently under
        negotiations.  Project  awards  with a combined  value in excess of $700
        million  are  currently  pending,  including  the  previously  announced
        construction  management  services contract for the $650 million Mohegan
        Sun Phase II Expansion  Project in Uncasville,  CT. While  approximately
        40% of the current  backlog  relates to building  construction  projects
        which generally  represent lower risk, lower margin work,  approximately
        60% of the current backlog relates to heavy construction  projects which
        generally represent higher risk, but correspondingly higher margin work.
        Since  several of the remaining  real estate  projects have been written
        down to net realizable value in the past,  future gross profit from real
        estate sales will be minimal.

o       Rincon  Center - As  previously  reported in Note 11 of the December 31,
        1998 Consolidated  Financial  Statements  included in the Company's 1998
        Form  10-K,  the  Company's  Real  Estate  subsidiary,  Perini  Land and
        Development  Company  ("PL&D"),  the managing  general partner of Rincon
        Center Associates ("RCA"),  has reached a nonbinding  agreement with the
        lenders  and  lessor in  Rincon  Center,  a  mixed-use  property  in San
        Francisco,  subject to final documentation and final approval of several
        parties,  with regard to restructuring certain financial obligations and
        ownership   interests.   While  the   process  of   completing   further
        documentation  and  obtaining  final  approval  by the  various  parties
        involved is ongoing, the Company has received the appropriate waivers or
        assurances  to date that (i) the  Lessor on  Rincon I will  continue  to
        defer  enforcement  of the  purchase  requirement  provisions  under the
        Master  Lease,  and (ii)  while the $33  million  loan to the  Lessor on
        Rincon I has matured and the $14 million  loan on Rincon II has matured,
        the lenders have deferred enforcement of any remedies pending completion
        of the  restructuring  agreement.  It  continues  to be the  opinion  of
        management  that  the  final  documentation  of these  negotiations  and
        restructure of certain  financial  obligations  will not have a material
        impact on the results of operations  or financial  condition as reported
        in the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Continued)


                        - On September  10, 1998 the Company  through Spear Land
                LLC ("Spear"),  a newly formed affiliated company,  entered into
                an agreement  with the U.S.  Postal Service to acquire the land,
                including  certain  ground  leases  ("the  land")  under  Rincon
                Center, subject to the Company obtaining the necessary financing
                and  approvals.  Effective  March 30, 1999,  Spear  assigned the
                agreement to an affiliate of the Blackstone Group ("Blackstone")
                that  purchased  the land on that  date.  Although  Spear has no
                rights with respect to the  management or operations  related to
                the land, Spear does have a residual  interest in the future net
                proceeds,  if any, from any sale or refinancing after Blackstone
                has  received a return of its  invested  capital and a return on
                its invested capital resulting in a 12% internal rate of return.

                        -  In  connection  with  the  above   transactions  (the
                restructuring  of Rincon  Center and the purchase of the related
                land from the U.S.  Postal  Service),  the  Company and PL&D are
                involved in litigation with Pacific Gateway  Properties  (PL&D's
                co-general partner in RCA). The Company does not anticipate that
                this litigation will materially impact the Rincon restructuring.

o       Year 2000 Readiness Disclosures - Since many computers, related software
        and certain  devices with embedded  microchips  record only the last two
        digits of a year, they may not be able to recognize that January 1, 2000
        (or  subsequent  dates) comes after  December 31, 1999.  This  situation
        could cause erroneous calculations or system shutdowns, causing problems
        that could range from merely inconvenient to significant.

        As previously reported, the Company began a project to review all of its
        computer  systems in 1995. One factor,  among many, to consider was what
        impact,  if any,  would  the Year 2000 have on  computer  systems.  As a
        result of this project,  the Company  implemented  new fully  integrated
        online construction  specific financial systems during the first quarter
        of 1998 which are Year 2000  compliant.  The cost of these new  systems,
        including the hardware,  software and implementation costs, approximated
        $1.5 million which was capitalized and is being amortized over ten years
        on a straight-line basis.

        The Company  recognizes the Year 2000 issue could be an overall business
        problem, not just a technical problem.  Therefore, it established a Year
        2000 Committee early in 1998 to identify all of the other potential Year
        2000 problems that could impact the Company,  including readiness issues
        for its computer  applications and business  processes,  non-information
        technology systems such as those of its facilities and equipment,  along
        with relationships with third parties,  such as our customers,  vendors,
        subcontractors,  joint  ventures, and other business  partners;  develop
        plans to evaluate the  significance  of the potential  problem;  develop
        plans to remedy or minimize the potential  problem;  assign  appropriate
        resources; and monitor the implementation of the plans. During the third
        quarter  of 1998,  the  Committee,  which  included  both the  Company's
        Chairman and CEO, designated the Year 2000 Project Manager.  The Project
        Manager  has  organized  a  Year  2000  Team,   consisting  of  specific
        individuals  assigned  from  each  operating  unit  and  each  corporate
        department. In addition, the Company developed,  published and commenced
        implementation  of its Year 2000 Readiness Plan which has as its overall
        objective "to eliminate or minimize the potential  internal and external
        impact of the Year 2000 issue on the normal  business  operations of the
        Company,  its  subsidiaries,  and joint  ventures  in a timely  and cost
        effective   manner".   In  addition  to  addressing   its  own  computer
        applications,  facilities, and construction equipment, the Plan includes
        communication with critical third parties as stated above.

       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Continued)

        The Year 2000 Plan includes the following phases:  (1) potential problem
        identification,  (2) resource commitment, (3) inventory, (4) assessment,
        (5) prioritization,  (6) remediation and (7) testing.  While the Company
        completed   the  problem   identification,   resource   commitment   and
        prioritization  phases during 1998, and inventory phase during the first
        quarter of 1999, it is currently in various stages of the  "assessment",
        "testing", and "remediation" phases as of March 31, 1999. As part of the
        Plan,  the Company is evaluating  alternative  solutions and  developing
        contingency  plans  for  handling  certain  critical  areas in the event
        remediation is unsuccessful. Completion of the Year 2000 Plan, including
        final testing and development of final  contingency  plans, is currently
        on  schedule  and  should be  completed  by its  October  1999  targeted
        completion date. The Company  currently  estimates that costs related to
        the Year 2000 Plan, over and above the cost of the new financial systems
        referred  to  above,  will  approximate  $0.3  million  which  are being
        expensed currently.

        The  Company,   as  a  general   contractor,   generally   provides  its
        construction   services  in  accordance  with  detailed   contracts  and
        specifications  provided by its  clients.  Also,  the  Company  recently
        installed  all new mission  critical  financial  system  software on new
        hardware,  all of which are Year 2000 compliant.  In light of the above,
        the Company has defined its most  reasonable  likely worse case scenario
        at this stage of implementing  its Year 2000 Plan to include last minute
        inquiries  and  requests  for  assistance  in   determining   Year  2000
        compliance  by some  limited  number of  clients  who have not  properly
        prepared for this event.  In addition,  the possible filing of frivolous
        lawsuits against the Company,  among others,  by a party or parties that
        claim they were  adversely  impacted by a Year 2000 issue related to one
        of the many  projects  with which the Company was  associated  is also a
        concern. The Company currently plans to have a Year 2000 Urgent Response
        Team  defined and  available  to respond to last minute Year 2000 issues
        raised by clients or others in a timely,  proactive  and cost  effective
        manner. In addition,  the Company currently plans to develop prepackaged
        legal defenses in advance assuming various types of complaints.
