Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

NOTE A Nature Of Operations

EMCOR Group, Inc. ("EMCOR" or the "Company") is a multinational corporation
involved in mechanical and electrical construction and facilities services.
EMCOR, which conducts its business through subsidiaries, specializes in the
design, integration, installation, start-up, testing, operation and maintenance
of (i) distribution systems for electrical power (including power cables,
conduits, distribution panels, transformers, generators, uninterruptible power
supply systems and related switch gear and control); (ii) lighting systems,
including fixtures and controls; (iii) low-voltage systems, including fire
alarm, security, communications and process control systems; (iv) heating,
ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and clean-room process ventilation
systems; and (v) plumbing, process and high purity piping systems. EMCOR's
subsidiaries provide mechanical and electrical construction services directly to
end-users (including corporations, municipalities and other governmental
entities, owners/developers, and tenants of buildings) and, indirectly, by
acting as a subcontractor, to construction managers, general contractors and
other subcontractors. Mechanical and electrical construction services are
principally: large installation projects, with contracts generally in the
multi-million dollar range; smaller system installation projects involving
fit-out, renovation and retrofit work; and maintenance and service. In addition,
certain EMCOR subsidiaries operate and maintain mechanical and/or electrical
systems for customers under contracts and provide other services commonly
referred to as facilities services including the management of facilities and
the provision of support services to customers at the customer's facilities.
Mechanical and electrical construction and facilities services are provided to a
broad range of commercial, industrial and institutional customers through
offices located in major markets throughout the United States, Canada, the
United Kingdom, the Middle East and Hong Kong.


NOTE B Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the interim period
reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Consequently, certain information and note
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
Readers of this report should refer to the consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of a normal
recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company and the results of its operations. The results of operations for the
three month period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.

NOTE C Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share and Common Equivalent Share

Net income (loss) per common share and common equivalent share for the three
month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 have been calculated based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and common stock
equivalents relating to warrants and stock options outstanding when the effect
of such common stock equivalents are dilutive. Weighted average number of shares
outstanding as of March 31, 1997 and 1996 were 9,514,636 and 9,424,706,
respectively.
NOTE D  Long-Term Debt

NOTE E Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return including all U.S.
subsidiaries. At March 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards ("NOLs") for U.S. income tax purposes of approximately $200.0
million, which expire in the years 2007 through 2011. The NOLs are subject to
review by the Internal Revenue Service. Future changes in ownership of the
Company, as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, could limit the
amount of NOLs available for use in any one year.

As a result of the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the tax benefit of any
net operating loss carryforwards or net deductible temporary differences which
existed as of the date of the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 in December
1994 will result in a charge to the tax provision (provision in lieu of income
taxes) and be allocated to reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable
to identifiable assets established in connection with the Company's emergence
from bankruptcy and to capital surplus.

The Company has provided a valuation allowance as of March 31, 1997 for the full
amount of the tax benefit of its remaining NOLs and other deferred tax assets.
Income tax expense recorded for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and
1996 represent a provision primarily for federal, foreign and state and local
income taxes. The Company's utilization of NOLs and other deferred tax assets
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 of approximately $0.1 million have
been applied to capital surplus.


NOTE F Legal Proceedings

The Dynalectric Company ("Dynalectric"), a subsidiary of the Company, is a
defendant in an action entitled Computran v. Dynalectric, et. al., pending in
Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, arising out of its participation in
a joint venture. In the action, which was instituted in 1988, the plaintiff,
Computran, a participant in and a subcontractor to the joint venture, alleges
that Dynalectric wrongfully terminated it from the subcontract, fraudulently
diverted funds due it, misappropriated its trade secrets and proprietary
information, fraudulently induced it to enter into the joint venture and
conspired with other defendants to commit certain acts in violation of the New
Jersey Racketeering Influence and Corrupt Organization Act. Dynalectric believes
that Computran's claims are without merit and intends to defend this matter
vigorously. Dynalectric has filed counterclaims against Computran. Discovery is
ongoing and no trial date has been scheduled.
In February 1995, as part of an  investigation  by the New York County  District
Attorney's office into the business affairs of Herbert Construction Company
("Herbert"), a general contractor that does business with the Company's
subsidiary, Forest Electric Corporation ("Forest"), a search warrant was
executed at Forest's executive offices. At that time, the Company was informed
that Forest and certain of its officers are targets of the continuing
investigation. Neither the Company nor Forest has been advised of the precise
nature of any suspected violation of law by Forest or its officers. On July 11,
1995, Mr. Kohl, a principal of Herbert, and DPL Interiors, Inc., a company owned
by Mr. Kohl, were indicted by a New York County grand jury for grand larceny,
fraud, repeated failure to file New York City Corporate Tax Returns and related
money laundering charges. Mr. Kohl was also charged with filing false personal
income and earnings tax returns, perjury and offering false instruments for
filing with the New York City School Construction Authority. In a press release
announcing the indictment, the Manhattan District Attorney said that the
investigation disclosed that Mr. Kohl allegedly received more than $7.0 million
in kickbacks from subcontractors through a scheme in which he allegedly inflated
subcontracts on Herbert's construction contracts. At a July 11, 1995 press
conference following the indictment, the District Attorney announced that the
investigation was continuing and that he expected further indictments in the
investigation.

On April 7, 1997 Mr. Kohl plead guilty to one count of money laundering,
one count of offering a false instrument for filing and one count of
filing a false New York State Resident Income Tax Return before New York
Supreme Court Justice Edward McLaughlin. DPL Interiors, Inc. also plead
guilty to one count of failing to file New York City General Income Tax
Returns. Sentencing for Mr. Kohl and DPL Interiors, Inc. is scheduled for
September 9, 1997.

Forest performs electrical contracting services primarily in the New York City
commercial market and is one of the Company's largest subsidiaries.

In addition to the above, the Company is involved in other legal proceedings and
claims asserted by and against the Company, which have arisen in the ordinary
course of business.

The Company believes it has a number of valid defenses to these actions and the
Company intends to vigorously defend or assert these claims and does not believe
that a significant liability will result. However, the Company cannot predict
the outcome thereof or the impact that an adverse result of the matters
discussed above will have upon the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

Note G New Accounting Pronouncement

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128" or the
"Statement"), Earnings Per Share ("EPS"), which establishes standards for
computing and presenting EPS, is effective for both interim and annual periods
ending after December 15, 1997. The statement does not permit early application
of its provisions. The statement replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation of basic EPS, as defined. It also requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the Statement of Operations for entities
with a complex capital structure. Had EPS been determined in accordance with
SFAS No. 128, the Company's basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 would have been the following pro forma
amounts:

March 31, March 31,
1997 1996
------------------- -----------------

Pro Forma Basic EPS $0.03 ($0.38)
Pro Forma Diluted EPS $0.03 ($0.37)
ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were $433.8 million compared to $382.7
million in the first quarter of 1996. In the first quarter of 1997 the Company
generated net income of $0.3 million or $0.03 per share compared a net loss of
$3.7 million or $0.37 per share in the first quarter of 1996.

The Company generated operating income of $3.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 compared to operating income of $0.5 million in the same
period of the prior year. The improvement in operating income for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 is attributable to a $4.8 million charge, recorded
as selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") during the first quarter
of 1996, related to a previously announced adverse arbitration award in
connection with a contract dispute. The arbitration award was subsequently
settled for $4.3 million in October 1996. In addition, the first quarter of 1996
included the favorable close out of contracts.

The increase in revenues for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the same
period in the prior year was primarily attributable to the continued increase in
commercial construction activity in the Western United States and to an increase
in revenues in the Eastern United States, due principally to the previously
announced acquisition of two mechanical construction subsidiaries in late 1996
and early 1997.

SG&A for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 were $35.6 million, or 8.2%
of revenues, and $36.6 million , or 9.6% of revenues, respectively. SG&A
expenses for the first quarter of 1996 exclusive of the adverse arbitration
award discussed above were $31.8 million, or 8.3% of revenues. The increase in
SG&A for the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in the prior
year, exclusive of the adverse arbitration award, is attributable to the
increase in operations.

The Company's backlog was $1,051.2 million at March 31, 1997 and $1,043.7
million at December 31, 1996. Between December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997, the
Company's backlog in Canada increased by $27.8 million, its backlog in the
United States increased minimally and its backlog in the United Kingdom
decreased by $21.7 million. The increase in the Company's Canadian backlog was
primarily attributable to improved economic conditions in Western Canada. The
decline in the United Kingdom backlog is due to the continued progress towards
the completion of several large projects, exchange rate fluctuations and the
continued weakness in the United Kingdom commercial construction market
resulting in a decline in new work.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's consolidated cash balance increased by $10.4 million from $50.7
million at December 31, 1996 to $61.1 million at March 31, 1997. The March 31,
1997 cash balance included approximately $18.3 million at foreign subsidiaries
which is available only to support their respective operations. The Company
generated positive operating cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 1997
due to improvements in working capital which were partially used, in April 1997,
to repay borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and to fund
capital expenditures. As of March 31, 1997, the Company's total borrowing
capacity under its revolving credit facility was $81.6 million, and the Company
had approximately $31.4 million and $19.3 million of letters of credit and
revolving loans, respectively, outstanding as of that date. The revolving loans
are classified as Current Liabilities under the caption "Borrowings under
working capital credit lines" in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet.
In September,  1996, the Company's  Canadian  subsidiary,  Comstock Canada Ltd.,
renewed a credit agreement with a bank providing for an overdraft facility of up
to Cdn. $2.0 million. The facility is secured by certain assets of Comstock
Canada Ltd. and deposit instruments of another Canadian subsidiary of the
Company. The facility provides for interest at the bank's prime rate (6.75% at
March 31, 1997) plus 3/4% and expires on June 30, 1997. There were no borrowings
outstanding under this credit agreement at March 31, 1997.
