  INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     On May 3, 2002, The Shaw Group Inc. ("Shaw") acquired substantially all of
the operating assets (approximately $330 million) and assumed certain
liabilities (approximately $253 million) of The IT Group, Inc. ("IT Group"). IT
Group was a leading provider of diversified environmental consulting,
engineering, construction, remediation and facilities management services. The
primary reasons for the acquisition were to diversify and expand Shaw's revenue
base and to pursue additional opportunities in the environmental, infrastructure
and Homeland Defense markets. Shaw has formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary,
Shaw Environmental and Infrastructure, Inc., into which it will merge the
operations of the acquired IT Group businesses and Shaw's existing environmental
and infrastructure operations.

     The acquisition was completed as part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding
for IT Group. The purchase price included the following components (i) cash of
approximately $52.5 million, (ii) 1,671,336 shares of Shaw Common Stock valued
at approximately $52.5 million at closing, (iii) assumption by Shaw of the
outstanding balance ($50 million) of debtor-in-possession financing provided to
IT Group by Shaw, and (iv) transaction costs of approximately $10.5 million.

     In a separate transaction, on June 15, 2002, Shaw acquired substantially
all of the assets (approximately $32 million) and assumed certain liabilities
(approximately $17 million) of Beneco Enterprises, Inc ("Beneco"). Beneco was a
wholly-owned subsidiary of IT Group whose primary business was facilities
management for governmental and military facilities. The Beneco acquisition was
completed as part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding, which was separate and
independent of IT Group's bankruptcy proceeding. The Beneco purchase price
included (i) cash of approximately $650,000, (ii) assumption by Shaw of the
outstanding balance (approximately $1.6 million) of debtor-in-possession
financing provided to Beneco by Shaw, and (iii) transaction costs of
approximately $1 million.

     In conjunction with the acquisitions of IT Group and Beneco (referred to
herein collectively as "ITG"), Shaw entered into agreements with two surety
companies. In exchange for Shaw agreeing to complete certain of the ITG bonded
contracts (i) the sureties paid Shaw approximately $13.3 million in cash and
(ii) the sureties assigned to Shaw their rights to debtor-in-possession
financing of approximately $20 million which the sureties had provided to
Beneco.

     The ITG acquisitions were recorded as a purchase. The purchase price has
been allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated
fair values as of May 3 (IT Group), and June 15 (Beneco), 2002, respectively.
However, Shaw has not completed the process of obtaining information about the
fair values of the acquired assets and the assumed liabilities; therefore, the
purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to revision.

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of Shaw
as of February 28, 2002 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of
income of Shaw for the six months ended February 28, 2002 and twelve months
ended August 31, 2001, give effect to the acquisition of certain assets and
liabilities of ITG. The statements reflect the business combination accounted
for as a purchase. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect
to the business combination as if it occurred on February 28, 2002; the pro
forma condensed combined statements of income give effect to the business
combination as if it occurred on September 1, 2000.

     The Shaw information as of February 28, 2002 and for the twelve-month
period ended August 31, 2001 and the six-month period ended February 28, 2002 is
derived from the consolidated financial statements contained in Shaw's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001 and its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2002.


                                      F-1

     The information for ITG's trailing twelve-month period ended September 28,
2001 was derived from IT Group's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
nine-month periods ended September 28, 2001 and September 29, 2000 and IT
Group's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2000. The ITG
trailing six-month period ended March 29, 2002 is derived from IT Group's
audited financial statements for the year ended December 29,2001, IT Group's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine-month period ended September 28,2001
and from internally prepared unaudited financial statements for the three
month-period ended March 29, 2002. The ITG consolidated balance sheet as of
March 29,2002 was derived from internally prepared unaudited financial
statements.

     The following pro forma condensed combined financial statements are
presented for illustrative purposes only. The results shown in the statements
are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that might have occurred if
the business combination had been completed on September 1, 2000. Also, they are
not necessarily indicative of results that might be achieved in the future. In
the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments necessary
for a fair presentation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements. Accounting policies used in the preparation of these statements are
those disclosed in the Shaw and IT Group historical consolidated financial
statements, which are included or incorporated by reference herein.

     These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the description of the ITG acquisitions included
elsewhere in this filing, the consolidated financial statements and related
notes of Shaw contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended August 31, 2001 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six-month
period ended February 28, 2002, and in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements of ITG for the year ended December 28, 2001 included
elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

                               THE SHAW GROUP INC.
      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

Included in ITG's results for the six-month period ended March 29, 2002 is a
$167,000 reduction in revenues from a reduction of accounts receivable to
estimated net realizable value. During the fourth quarter of 2001, ITG recorded
a charge to reduce accounts receivable and revenues by $167,000, including
$35,000 relating to estimated claims recovery. This charge resulted from
changes in estimates caused by vendor issues, liquidity issues, and ultimately
ITG's filing for protection under the Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
All of the preceding factors led to ITG's inability to complete contracts and
were factors in recording the charge.

Included in ITG's results for the twelve-month period ended September 28, 2001
is a special charge of $40,700, comprised of $37,500 for changes in estimates on
accounts receivable and $3,200 relating to other items. The accounts receivable
portion of the charge primarily reduced the carrying value of project claims
which have been in protracted litigation and adjusted the close-out value of
certain acquired accounts receivable. In the fourth quarter of calendar 2000,
ITG adopted a strategy to accelerate the resolution of these project claims. The
special charge related to the project claims represented estimates of reduced
recoverability of the project claims under the acceleration resolution strategy
as part of the ITG's debt reduction plan. Many of these project claims were
acquired as part of ITG's previous business combinations.

Included in ITG's results for the six-month period ended March 29, 2002 is a
special charge of $15,400, comprised of the write-off of $5,000 of officers'
loans (notes receivable from employees) and a $10,000 facilities charge relating
primarily to minimum lease commitments and the associated payment obligations
due after 2001.

For the six-month period ended March 29, 2002, selling, general and
administrative expenses were significantly higher than the comparative period in
2001 due to non-recurring adjustments of approximately $35 million comprised of
$12,500 for legal and consulting expenses associated with ITG's bankruptcy
estate proceedings and $22,500 resulting primarily from employee related
accruals and the write-off of various assets.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income give effect to
the following assumptions and adjustments (in thousands):

IT Group Excluded Assets and Liabilities

     A  To eliminate sales associated with ITG contracts in progress not
        acquired by Shaw.

     B  To eliminate cost of sales associated with ITG contracts in progress not
        acquired by Shaw.

     C  To eliminate interest expense associated with ITG debt not assumed by
        Shaw.

     D  To adjust the income tax provision for the elimination of items not
        acquired by Shaw at an estimated combined effective tax rate of 40%.

IT Group Acquisition

     A  To adjust depreciation expense to reflect the fair value purchase price
        adjustments of property, plant and equipment acquired.

     B  To reverse goodwill amortization on ITG's books in accordance with the
        transition provisions of the FASB's SFAS No. 141 - "Business
        Combinations" and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
        Goodwill created on business combinations completed after June 30, 2001
        should not be amortized; therefore, the goodwill associated with this
        transaction is not amortized in the pro forma statements.

     C  To record Shaw's incremental interest expense and reduction of interest
        income of $2,250 for the twelve-months ended August 31, 2001 for funds
        used in the acquisition and eliminate Shaw's interest income of $448 for
        the six-months ended February 28, 2002 for funds used in the
        acquisition.

     D  To adjust the income tax provision for the impact of the pro forma
        acquisition adjustments at an estimated combined effective tax rate of
        40%.

     E  Diluted weighted average shares outstanding and diluted earnings per
        share exclude the effect of 7,384 shares because of the pro forma net
        loss for the six-months ended February 28, 2002.

     F  To reverse the impairment of goodwill recorded by ITG in December 2001.
