PERINI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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):

(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.

(6) Business Segments

The following tables set forth certain updated business segment

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

(Continued)

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.

9
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.

10
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.
