NOTE A Nature Of Operations

EMCOR Group, Inc. ("EMCOR" or the "Company") is a multinational corporation
involved in mechanical and electrical construction services and facilities
services. EMCOR's subsidiaries specialize 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 and facilities 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 for construction managers, general contractors,
systems suppliers and other subcontractors. Mechanical and electrical
construction services are principally either 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 of its 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 and the United Kingdom and through its joint ventures in
the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Hong Kong and Macau.


NOTE B Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to
current year presentation.
NOTE C  Long-Term Debt

Long-Term Debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets
consists of the following amounts at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 (in
thousands):
June 30, December 31,
1998 1997
---------------- ---------------

Convertible Subordinated Notes,
at 5.75%, due 2005 $115,000 $--
Series C Notes, outstanding face
value of approximately $61.9
million at December 31, 1997,
at 11.0%, discounted to a 14.0%
effective rate, due 2001 -- 56,290
Other 2,920 7,849
---------------- ---------------
117,920 64,139
Less current maturities (812) (927)
---------------- ---------------

$117,108 $63,212
================ ===============

On March 18, 1998, the Company called for the redemption of approximately $61.9
million principal amount of Series C Notes and irrevocably funded such amounts
with the trustee of the Series C Notes. In accordance with the Indenture
governing the Series C Notes, the redemption price of the Series C Notes was
104% of the principal amount redeemed. Accordingly, the Company recorded an
extraordinary loss related to the early retirement of debt. The extraordinary
loss consisted primarily of the write-off of the associated debt discount plus
the redemption premium and costs associated with the redemption, net of income
tax benefits.

The Company prepaid in full, including accrued interest thereon, the
Supplemental SellCo Note during June 1998.

On March 18, 1998, the Company sold, pursuant to an underwritten public
offering, $100.0 million principal amount of 5.75% Convertible Subordinated
Notes (the "Notes"). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually commencing
October 1, 1998. The Notes are unsecured indebtedness of the Company and are
convertible into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $27.34 per
share at any time.

On March 24, 1998, the underwriter of the Notes offering exercised in full its
over-allotment option to purchase an additional $15.0 million of Notes and
accordingly an additional $15.0 million principal amount of such notes were
issued.

NOTE D Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return including all U.S.
subsidiaries. At June 30, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
("NOLs") for U.S. income tax purposes of approximately $165.0 million, which
expire in the years 2007 through 2010. 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 Capital Surplus.
The Company has provided a valuation  allowance as of June 30, 1998 for the full
amount of the tax benefit of its remaining NOLs and other deferred tax assets.
Income tax expense recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 of approximately
$1.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, have been applied to Capital
Surplus.


NOTE E Legal Proceedings

The Company is currently defending a lawsuit that was commenced against the
Dynalectric Company ("Dynalectric"), a subsidiary of the Company, in Superior
Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, arising out of Dynalectric's participation
in a joint venture with the plaintiff, Computran. In the action, which was
instituted in 1988, Computran, a participant in, and a subcontractor to, the
joint venture alleges that Dynalectric wrongfully terminated its 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. As a
result of a motion made by Dynalectric, the Superior Court of New Jersey ordered
during 1997 that the matters in dispute between Dynalectric and Computran be
resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with an original agreement between
the parties and the arbitration is proceeding.

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 did 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 April 7,
1997, Ted Kohl, a principal of Herbert, pled 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. DPL Interiors, Inc., a
Company allegedly owned by Mr. Kohl, also pled guilty to one count of failing to
file New York City General Income Tax Returns. Mr.Kohl and DPL Interiors, Inc.
have not yet been sentenced.

Substantial settlements or damage judgements against a subsidiary of the Company
arising out of either of these matters could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

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 F Earnings Per Share

Effective December 31, 1997 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128" or the "Statement"), "Earnings Per
Share" ("EPS"), which established standards for computing and presenting EPS.
The Statement replaced the presentation of Primary EPS with a presentation of
Basic EPS, as defined, and Fully Diluted EPS with Diluted EPS, as defined.

The following tables summarize the Company's calculation of Basic EPS and
Diluted EPS for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997:

============== =============== ============

For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the "if converted" amount of Notes
and related after-tax interest expense were excluded from the denominator and
numerator, respectively, in the calculation of Diluted EPS as the effect would
be antidilutive. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, no
options were excluded from the denominator in the calculation of Diluted EPS.

NOTE G Common Stock Issuance

On March 18, 1998 the Company sold, pursuant to an underwritten public offering,
1,100,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $21.875 per share. Proceeds
received from the sale of the Common Stock along with proceeds received from the
sale of the Notes were used to redeem the Series C Notes, repay outstanding
borrowings under the Company's working capital credit lines, prepay the
Supplemental SellCo Note and accrued interest thereon and will be used for
possible acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes.

NOTE H Other

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"), which requires companies to
report all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from
investment by owners and distribution to owners, in a financial statement for
the period in which they are recognized. The Company has chosen to disclose
Comprehensive Income, which encompasses net income and foreign currency
translation adjustments, in the condensed consolidated statements of
stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss). Prior year financial
information has been restated to conform with the reporting requirements of SFAS
No. 130.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133" or "the Statement"), which establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring derivative instruments, as defined,
to be measured in the financial statements at fair value. The Statement also
requires that changes in the derivatives' fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless certain accounting criteria are met. SFAS No. 133 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 and cannot be applied
retroactively. The Company currently has one forward exchange contract which is
designated as a hedge against intercompany loans to the Company's U.K.
subsidiary. The Company does not expect the provision of SFAS No. 133 to have a
significant effect on the current forward exchange contract or on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Revenues for the second quarter of 1998 were $545.5 million compared to $475.6
million in the second quarter of 1997. In the second quarter of 1998, the
Company generated net income of $3.7 million, or $0.34 per basic and $0.31 per
diluted share, compared to net income of $0.9 million, or $0.09 per basic and
diluted share, in the second quarter of 1997. Net income for the second quarter
of 1997 included an after-tax charge associated with the early retirement of
approximately $11.9 million of the Company's Series C Notes, which is reflected
in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations under the
caption "Extraordinary Item - Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt, Net of
Income Taxes." In addition, net income for the second quarter of 1998 includes
an income tax provision of $3.0 million, of which $1.3 million will not be paid
in cash due to the utilization of tax net operating loss carry forwards
("NOL's"). Had the Company been able to offset these NOL's against the recorded
income tax provision, net income would have been $5.0 million.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $1,039.5 million compared
to $909.4 million in the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended
June 30, 1998, the Company incurred a net loss of $0.3 million, or $0.03 per
basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.12 per
basic share and $0.11 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
The results for the first six months of 1998 and 1997 included charges of $4.8
million and $1.0 million, respectively, related to the early retirement of
Series C Notes. Exclusive of these extraordinary items, net income for the first
half of 1998 was $4.5 million, or $0.44 per basic share and $0.41 per diluted
share, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.23 per basic share and $0.21 per diluted
share, in the same period in 1997.

The Company generated operating income of $8.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to operating income of $6.3 million in the same
period of the prior year. The $1.8 million improvement in operating income for
the three months ended June 30, 1998 was attributable to the increase in
operating volume and the increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
Operating income for the first half of 1998 was $12.0 million compared to
operating income of $9.7 million in the same period in the prior year, the
increase being attributable to the items noted above for the second quarter of
1998.

Selling, General & Administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the quarters ended June
30, 1998 and 1997 were $44.2 million, or 8.1% of revenues, and $37.2 million, or
7.8% of revenues, respectively. SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was
$84.5 million, or 8.1% of revenues, compared to SG&A of $72.9 million, or 8.0%
of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The dollar increase in SG&A
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same
periods in 1997 are attributable to the increase in operating volume.

On March 18, 1998, the Company called for the redemption of approximately $61.9
million principal amount of Series C Notes. In accordance with the Indenture
governing the Series C Notes, the redemption price of the Series C Notes was
104% of the principal amount redeemed. Accordingly, the Company recorded an
extraordinary loss related to the early retirement of debt. The extraordinary
loss consisted primarily of the write-off of the associated debt discount plus
the redemption premium and costs associated with the redemption, net of income
tax benefits. The Company prepaid in full, including accrued interest thereon,
the Supplemental SellCo Note during June, 1998.

The Company's backlog was $1,094.5 million at June 30, 1998 and $996.4 million
at December 31, 1997. Between December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998, the Company's
backlog in Canada increased by $25.6 million, its backlog in the United States
increased by $81.1 million and its backlog in the United Kingdom decreased by
$8.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On March 18, 1998, the Company sold, pursuant to underwritten public offerings,
$100.0 million principal amount of 5.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the
"Notes") and 1,100,000 shares of its Common Stock. Interest on the Notes is
payable semi-annually commencing October 1, 1998. The Notes are unsecured
indebtedness of the Company and are convertible into Common Stock of the Company
at a conversion price of $27.34 per share at any time.

On March 24, 1998, the underwriter of the Notes offering exercised in full its
over-allotment option to purchase an additional $15.0 million of Notes and
accordingly an additional $15.0 million principal amount of such notes were
issued.

Proceeds received from the sale of the Notes along with proceeds from the sale
of the Common Stock were used to redeem the Series C Notes, repay outstanding
borrowings under the Company's working capital credit lines, prepay the
Supplemental SellCo Note and accrued interest thereon and will be used for
possible acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes.

The Company's consolidated cash balance increased by approximately $46.0 million
from $49.4 million at December 31, 1997 to $95.4 million at June 30, 1998,
primarily as a result of the net proceeds received from the sale of Common Stock
and Notes offset by the repayment of debt instruments noted above.

As of June 30, 1998 the Company's total borrowing capacity under its revolving
credit facility was $100.0 million. The Company had approximately $29.0 million
of letters of credit outstanding as of that date. There were no revolving loans
outstanding as of June 30, 1998.

Year 2000

The Company has performed a comprehensive review of its computer systems to
identify systems that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue and is developing
a plan to resolve the issue. The Company is utilizing both internal and external
resources to identify, correct or reprogram, and test the systems to ensure Year
2000 compliance. Preliminary cost estimates of testing and converting system
applications range from $1.0 million to $2.0 million. Maintenance and
modification cots will be expensed as incurred, while costs of new software will
be capitalized and amortized over the expected useful life of the related
software.

The Company expects its Year 2000 conversion project to be completed on a timely
basis. However, there can be no assurance that the systems of other companies on
which the Company's systems rely also will be converted on a timely basis. A
failure to convert successfully by another company could have an adverse effect
on the Company's systems.

within the meaning of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in any such forward-looking
