PERINI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1) 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, 1995. The Company has made no significant
change in these policies during 1996.

(2) Income (Loss) From Operations

The three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 include a
charge, which aggregated $25.6 million, to provide for a liability
related to previously disclosed litigation discussed under "Item 1.
Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
ended September 30, 1995, and downward revisions in estimated probable
recoveries on certain outstanding contract claims.

(3) Provision For Income Taxes

The lower than normal tax rate in 1996 is due to the realization of a
portion of the Federal tax benefit resulting from the operating loss
recorded in 1995. Because of certain accounting limitations, the Company
was not able to recognize a portion of the tax benefit related to the
operating loss experienced in fiscal 1995.

(4) Per Share Data

Computations of earnings per common share amounts are based on the
weighted average number of the Company's common shares outstanding
during the periods presented. Earnings per common share reflect the
effect of preferred dividends accrued during both the 1996 and 1995
three and nine month periods ended September 30, of $531,000 and
$1,593,000, respectively. Common stock equivalents related to additional
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options have not
been included since their effect would be antidilutive. Per share data
on a fully diluted basis is not presented because the effect of
conversion of the Company's depositary convertible exchangeable
preferred shares into common stock is also antidilutive.

(5) Cash 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 the 1995 Form 10-K, in
conjunction with the covenants of the Company's Amended Revolving Credit
Agreement, the Company is required to suspend the payment of quarterly
dividends on its preferred stock until the Bridge Loan commitment is no
longer outstanding, if a default exists under the terms of the Amended
Revolving Credit Agreement, or if the ratio of long-term debt to equity
exceeds 50%. Therefore, the dividends on preferred stock that normally
would have been declared during December of 1995 and March, June and
September of 1996, and payable on March 15, June 15, September 15, and
December 15, 1996, respectively, have not been declared (although they
have been fully accrued due to the "cumulative" feature of the preferred
stock).

(6) Capitalization

In addition to its $114.5 million revolving credit agreement, effective
February 26, 1996, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement with
its revolver banks to borrow up to an additional $15 million through
July 31, 1996 at an interest rate of prime plus 2%. Subsequently, the
Bridge Loan Agreement has been increased to provide another $10 million
of borrowing capacity at an interest rate of prime plus 4% and extended
through the earlier of the closing of the below mentioned preferred
stock transaction or January 31, 1997. The Revolving Credit Agreement
has been renegotiated and will total $129.5 million subsequent to the
closing of the preferred stock transaction. Additionally, in July 1996,
the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with an
investor group led by Richard C. Blum & Associates, L. P. of San
Francisco, California, for a $30 million investment in the form of a new
issuance of 150,150 shares of redeemable cumulative convertible junior
preferred stock in the Company. The preferred stock will

6
(6)     Capitalization (continued)

be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a
conversion price of approximately $9.68 per share. The issuance and
listing of any such common stock on the American Stock Exchange is
subject to shareholder ratification of the transaction at a Special
Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, the date of which has not been
set. The preferred shares will carry voting rights representing
approximately 37% of the outstanding common shares and will also entitle
the investor group to the appointment of three members to the Company's
Board of Directors. Subject to the ratification of the transaction by
the stockholders, the Company expects to be able to close the
transaction by year end.

(7) Management's Opinion

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, 1995. 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 September 30, 1996 and December 31,
1995 and results of operations and cash flows for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. The results of operations for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1996 may not be indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996
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.


7
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Third Quarter of 1996 with the Third Quarter of 1995
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues increased $107.7 million (or 46.2%), from $233 million in 1995 to
$340.7 million in 1996. This increase resulted from increased construction
revenues of $96 million (or 42.9%), from $223.7 million in 1995 to $319.7
million in 1996, due primarily to an increase in revenues from building
operations of $70 million (or 45.2%), from $154.9 million in 1995 to $224.9
million in 1996. This increase was due primarily to the timing in the start-up
of certain fast track hotel/casino projects in the western United States as well
as several prison/detention and medical facilities projects in the northeastern
United States. Revenues from heavy operations increased by $26 million (or
37.8%), from $68.8 million in 1995 to $94.8 million in 1996 due primarily to the
favorable impact of several large infrastructure projects under way in late
1995, primarily in the metropolitan New York, Boston and Los Angeles areas. In
addition, revenues from real estate operations increased by $11.7 million, from
$9.3 million in 1995 to $21 million in 1996 due primarily to the Company's
acquisition during 1996 of an increased ownership position in The Resort at
Squaw Creek joint venture in California.

Along with the increase in revenues, the total gross profit increased
substantially, from a loss of $23 million in 1995 to a profit of $13 million in
1996, due to an overall increase in gross profit from construction operations of
$36.4 million, from a loss of $23.2 million in 1995 to a profit of $13.2 million
in 1996. The gross loss from construction operations recognized in 1995 included
a pretax charge, which aggregated $25.6 million, to provide for a liability
related to litigation involving a joint venture in which the Company was a
minority partner, and the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority on two
subway construction projects in Washington, D.C., and downward revisions in
estimated probable recoveries on certain outstanding contract claims. In
addition, the 1995 gross profit was adversely impacted by an overall reduction
in the profit level on a tunnel project in the Midwest. The pretax charges in
1995, coupled with the increased construction revenues in 1996 referred to above
and the favorable profit impact in 1996 of several large infrastructure projects
underway in late 1995, primarily in the metropolitan New York, Boston and Los
Angeles areas, resulted in the substantial increase in gross profit from
construction operations in 1996. Real estate operations experienced a gross loss
of $.2 million in 1996 compared to a gross profit of $.2 million in 1995 due to
a lower volume of condominium sales in Georgia and land sales in Arizona during
1996.

The decrease in general, administrative and selling expenses of $1.0 million (or
11.6%), from $9 million in 1995 to $8 million in 1996, resulted primarily from
continued emphasis on reducing overall Company overhead expenses in conjunction
with the Company's re-engineering efforts commenced in prior years, the sale in
June of 1996 of Pioneer Construction, a former subsidiary of the Company located
in West Virginia which performed reclamation projects on abandoned mine lands in
that state, and the continuation of the down-sizing of the Company's
environmental remediation construction operation.

Interest expense increased by $.4 million (or 18.9%), from $2.2 million in 1995
to $2.6 million in 1996, due to a higher average level of borrowings during
1996.

The lower than normal tax rate in 1996 is due to the realization of a portion of
the Federal tax benefit resulting from the operating loss recorded in 1995.
Because of certain accounting limitations, the Company was not able to recognize
a portion of the tax benefit related to the operating loss experienced in fiscal
1995.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 with the Nine Months
Ended September 30, 1995
------------------------

Revenues increased $124.2 million (or 15.5%), from $803 million in 1995 to
$927.2 million in 1996. This increase resulted from increased construction
revenues of $114.7 million (or 14.9%), from $770.7 million in 1995 to $885.4
million in 1996, due primarily to an increase in revenues from heavy
construction operations of $75.1 million (or 36.9%), from $203.7 million in 1995
to $278.8 million in 1996, as well as an

8
increase in revenues from building construction  operations of $39.6 million (or
7.0%), from $567 million in 1995 to $606.6 million in 1996. These revenue
fluctuations reflect the timing in the start-up of new construction projects, in
particular several fast track hotel/casino projects in the western and
midwestern United States, several prison/detention and medical facilities
projects in the northeastern United States, and several long-term infrastructure
rehabilitation projects in the metropolitan New York, Boston and Los Angeles
areas. Revenues from real estate operations increased $9.5 million, from $32.3
million in 1995 to $41.8 million in 1996 due primarily to the Company's
acquisition during 1996 of an increased ownership position in The Resort at
Squaw Creek joint venture in California.

Along with the increase in revenues, the total gross profit increased
substantially, from $1.6 million in 1995 to $38.5 million in 1996, due to an
overall increase in gross profit from construction operations of $37.3 million,
from $1.7 million in 1995 to $39 million in 1996. Overall gross profit margins
on both building and heavy construction operations in 1996 exceeded those
experienced in 1995. The marginal gross profit from construction operations
recognized in 1995 included a pretax charge, which aggregated $25.6 million, to
provide for a liability related to litigation involving a joint venture in which
the Company was a minority partner, and the Washington Metropolitan Transit
Authority on two subway construction projects in Washington, D.C., and downward
revisions in estimated probable recoveries on certain outstanding contract
claims as well as an overall reduction in the profit level on a tunnel project
in the Midwest. These pretax charges in 1995, coupled with the increased
construction revenues in 1996 referred to above and the favorable profit impact
in 1996 of several large infrastructure projects underway in late 1995,
primarily in the metropolitan New York, Boston and Los Angeles areas, resulted
in the substantial increase in gross profit from construction operations in
1996. Real estate operations experienced a gross loss of $.5 million in 1996
compared to a gross loss of $.1 million in 1995 due to a lower volume of land
sales in Florida, Arizona and Massachusetts.

General, administrative and selling expenses decreased by $2.6 million (or
9.4%), from $27.2 million in 1995 to $24.6 million in 1996 primarily due to
continued emphasis on reducing overall Company overhead expenses in conjunction
with the Company's re-engineering efforts commenced in prior years, the sale in
June of 1996 of Pioneer Construction, a former subsidiary of the Company located
in West Virginia which performed reclamation projects on abandoned mine lands in
that state, and the continuation of the gradual down-sizing of the Company's
real estate and environmental remediation construction operations.

Other expense increased $.3 million, from $.1 million in 1995 to $.4 million in
1996 primarily due to higher bank charges experienced in 1996 in conjunction
with the Company's renegotiation of certain provisions of its Revolving Credit
Agreement and Bridge Loan Agreement.

Interest expense increased by $.9 million (or 14.8%), from $6.1 million in 1995
to $7 million in 1996 due to a higher average level of borrowings during 1996.

The lower than normal tax rate in 1996 is due to the realization of a portion of
the Federal tax benefit resulting from the operating loss recorded in 1995.
Because of certain accounting limitations, the Company was not able to recognize
a portion of the tax benefit related to the operating loss experienced in fiscal
1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working capital increased $39.7 million, from $36.5 million at the end of 1995
to $76.2 million at September 30, 1996 primarily as a result of increased
borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement. The current ratio
increased from 1.12:1 to 1.28:1 during this same period.

During the first nine months of 1996 the Company used $31.5 million in cash
provided from financing activities, primarily from net borrowings under its
long-term credit facilities, plus $14.2 million from cash on hand to fund its
construction and real estate operations, including $13.6 million for investments
in or advances to joint ventures.

Long-term debt at September 30, 1996 was $114.7 million, an increase of $30.5
million from December 31, 1995. The long-term debt to equity ratio at June 30,
1996 was 1.02 to 1, compared to .80 to 1 at December 31, 1995.

9
The above  factors  reflect  the  Company's  need to rely  heavily on  long-term
financing arrangements to fund the current working capital requirements of its
core construction business, primarily in its heavy/civil operations which
typically require a long start-up period and significant up-front working
capital, as well as to fund cash shortfalls experienced in its real estate
operations. In addition to internally generated funds, the Company has access to
funds under its $114.5 million long-term Credit Agreement. Effective February
26, 1996, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement for an additional $15
million through July 31, 1996. Subsequently, this Bridge Loan Agreement has been
extended through January 31, 1997. Additionally, in July 1996 the Company
announced that it had entered into an agreement with an investor group led by
Richard C. Blum & Associates, L. P. of San Francisco, California, for a $30
million investment in the form of a new issuance of 150,150 shares of cumulative
convertible junior preferred stock in the Company subject to certain closing
conditions. Initially, the Company expected to be able to close the transaction
in early October. However, certain regulations of the American Stock Exchange
require shareholder approval of the transaction in advance, therefore, the
anticipated closing date of the transaction is now expected by year end. At
September 30, 1996 there was no borrowing capacity available under the Company's
long-term credit facility and $5.8 million available under the Bridge Loan
Agreement.

OUTLOOK

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,
and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking
statements. It is important to note that the Company's actual results could
differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.

At least until the closing of the new equity investment discussed above, the
Company's financial resources and short-term liquidity position will continue to
be tight, resulting in the payment of many vendors beyond the Company's normal
payment terms. In the near term, the Company intends to continue to manage its
cash receipts and disbursements as effectively as possible in anticipation of
closing the new equity investment and the receipt of the proceeds related
thereto. In addition, the Company has been successful in extending its $15
million Bridge Loan Agreement until at least January 31, 1997 as well as in
arranging for $20 million in additional borrowing capacity through its bank
credit facility: $10 million via certain bonding arrangements in lieu of posting
letters of credit, and $10 million via a temporary loan made available to the
Company through a participation under the existing loan agreement by a group of
investors led by Richard C. Blum & Associates, L. P. of San Francisco, the
Company's potential new equity investor. This $10 million temporary financing
will be repayable by the Company at the earlier of the completion of the
proposed $30 million equity investment referred to above or January 31, 1997.

In order to generate cash and reduce the Company's dependence on bank debt to
fund the working capital needs of its core construction operations as well as to
lower the Company's substantial interest expense and strengthen the balance
sheet in the longer term, the Company will continue to sell certain real estate
assets as market opportunities present themselves; to actively pursue the
favorable conclusion of various construction claims; to focus new work
acquisition efforts on various niche markets and geographic areas where the
Company has a proven history of success; to down-size or close operations with
marginal prospects for success; to continue to restrict the payment of cash
dividends on the Company's $1 par value common stock and depositary convertible
exchangeable preferred stock; and to continue to seek ways to control overhead
expenses. In addition, the Company is reviewing all of the Company's real estate
assets and current strategies related to those assets with the possibility that
a plan may be developed to generate short term liquidity of up to an additional
$20 million for the Company. Currently, the Company's strategy has been to hold
its real estate assets through the necessary development and stabilization
periods to achieve full value. A strategy which includes earlier disposal of
certain of those assets could require a write down of such assets to the lower
of carrying amounts or current fair values, less costs to sell. The specific
assets or timing of such sales has not yet been determined, but it is
anticipated that implementation would require the Company to take a significant
writedown of its real estate assets which could range from $30 million to $80
million on a pretax basis. If such a writedown were required, it is expected
that it would be done during 1996

10
after the plan was formalized,  but in advance of the actual sale of properties.
Management believes that cash generated from operations, existing credit lines
and additional borrowings, including the anticipated proceeds from the issuance
of cumulative convertible junior preferred stock referred to above, should
probably be adequate to meet the Company's funding requirements for at least the
next twelve months. However, the withdrawal of many commercial lending sources
from both the real estate and construction markets and/or restrictions on new
borrowings and extensions on maturing loans by these same sources cause
uncertainties in predicting liquidity.

(b) Preferred Stock, $1 par value

As previously disclosed in the 1995 Form 10-K, in conjunction with the
covenants of the Company's Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, the
Company is required to suspend the payment of quarterly dividends on its
depositary convertible exchangeable preferred stock until the $15
million Bridge Loan commitment is no longer outstanding, if a default
exists under the terms of the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, or if
the ratio of long-term debt to equity exceeds 50%. Therefore, the
dividends on the preferred stock that normally would have been declared
during December of 1995 and March, June and September of 1996, and
payable on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15, 1996,
respectively, have not been declared. The total amount of dividends in
arrears on the Company's preferred stock at the date of this filing is
$2,125,000.
