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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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, 2002. 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, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003 because the Company’s results are primarily generated from a limited number of significant active construction contracts. Therefore, such results can vary depending on the timing of progress achieved and changes in estimated 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, 2002. The Company has made no significant change in these policies during 2003.

(3) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options granted to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income since all stock options granted by the Company had an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to stock-based employee and director compensation (in thousands). The effect of applying SFAS No. 123 in this pro forma disclosure may not be indicative of future charges.

(5) Acquisition of James A. Cummings, Inc.
On January 23, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of James A. Cummings, Inc. (“Cummings”), a privately held construction company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for $20 million in cash, financed in part through the Company’s credit facility. Cummings is an established building construction and construction management company in the South Florida region specializing in the construction of schools, municipal buildings, and commercial facilities. At January 1, 2003, Cummings had a firm backlog of approximately $170 million. The acquisition is effective as of January 1, 2003 and, accordingly, Cummings’ financial results are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position beginning in the first quarter of 2003.

The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as required by FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations”. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets recorded in the acquisition will be tested periodically for impairment as required by FASB Statement No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The preliminary allocation of acquisition costs, which consists of the $20 million cash consideration referred to above and $565,000 of other direct acquisition costs, is as follows (in thousands):

(6) Contingencies and Commitments
(a) Mergentime - Perini Joint Ventures vs. WMATA Matter

On May 11, 1990, contracts with two joint ventures in which Perini Corporation held a minority interest ("Joint Ventures") were terminated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority ("WMATA") on two adjacent subway construction contracts in the District of Columbia. The contracts were awarded to the Joint Ventures in 1985 and 1986. However, Perini and Mergentime Corporation ("Mergentime"), the 60% managing partner, entered into an agreement in 1987 under which Perini withdrew from the Joint Ventures and Mergentime assumed complete control over the performance of both projects. This agreement did not relieve Perini of its responsibilities to WMATA as a Joint Venture partner. After Perini withdrew from the Joint Ventures, Mergentime and WMATA were embroiled in a dispute regarding progress on the projects. Each party blamed the other for delays that were

impacting both cost and progress and the parties were unable to resolve their dispute. Ultimately, both construction contracts were terminated by WMATA and WMATA retained Perini, acting independently, to complete both projects.

Subsequently, the Joint Ventures brought an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against WMATA, seeking damages for delays, unpaid extra work and wrongful termination and WMATA brought an action against the Joint Ventures seeking damages for additional costs to complete the projects. After a bench trial before two District Court Judges (the initial Judge died before the matter could be concluded), the District Court found the Joint Ventures liable to WMATA for damages in the amount of approximately $16.5 million and WMATA liable to the Joint Ventures for damages in the amount of approximately $4.3 million.

The Joint Ventures appealed the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ("Court of Appeals"), arguing, among other things, that the second District Court Judge had issued his final decision without fully familiarizing himself with the record of the initial District Court Judge. On February 16, 1999, the Court of Appeals vacated the District Court's final judgment and ordered the successor District Court Judge to review the findings of the initial Judge and hold further hearings in regard to the Joint Venture's affirmative claims. In addition, the Court of Appeals held that statutory interest on any of the claims will not accrue until final judgment is entered sometime in the future. Later in 1999, the case was transferred to a new successor District Court Judge.

On February 28, 2001, the new successor District Court Judge informed the parties that in the absence of a new trial, he could not certify adequate familiarity with the record to complete the remaining proceedings; therefore, he ordered that the Joint Ventures' motion for a new trial be granted.

A new trial before the new successor District Court Judge was completed in January 2002 and a decision is still pending. The ultimate financial impact of the Judge's pending decision is not yet determinable; therefore, no provision for loss, if any, has been recorded in the financial statements.

(b) Tutor-Saliba-Perini Joint Venture vs. Los Angeles MTA Matter
During 1995, a joint venture, Tutor-Saliba-Perini ("TSP"), in which Perini Corporation is a 40% minority partner and Tutor-Saliba Corporation of Sylmar, CA is the 60% managing partner, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("MTA") seeking to recover costs for extra work required by the MTA in connection with the construction of the Wilshire/Normandie Subway Station. TSP is seeking additional compensation from the MTA for claims related to the construction and in February 1999 the MTA countered with civil claims under the California False Claims Act against TSP, Tutor-Saliba Corporation, Perini Corporation and other parties. Ronald N. Tutor, the Chairman and CEO of Perini Corporation since March of 2000, is also the CEO and the sole stockholder of Tutor-Saliba Corporation.

(b) Tutor-Saliba-Perini Joint Venture vs. Los Angeles MTA Matter (continued)

Claims concerning the construction of the Wilshire/Normandie Subway Station were tried before a Jury in 2001. During trial, the Judge ruled that TSP had failed to comply with the Court's prior discovery orders and the Judge penalized TSP for its alleged non-compliance by dismissing TSP's claim and by ruling, without a Jury finding, that TSP was liable to the MTA for damages on the MTA's counterclaim. The Judge then instructed the Jury that TSP was liable to the MTA and charged the Jury with the responsibility of determining the amount of the damages based on the Judge's ruling. The Jury awarded the MTA approximately $29.6 million in damages.

On March 26, 2002, the Judge amended the award, ordering TSP to pay the MTA an additional $33.4 million in costs and attorney fees, with the aggregate $63.0 million award subject to interest at an annual rate of 10% from the date of the award.

TSP and the other plaintiffs/defendants in counterclaim have appealed the Judge's discovery sanction, the subsequent Jury award and the amended award. The ultimate financial impact of the Judge's ruling and/or the awards is not yet determinable. Therefore, no provision for loss, if any, has been recorded in the financial statements.

(c) City of San Francisco vs. Tutor-Saliba, Perini & Buckley Joint Venture Matter
In November 2002, the San Francisco City Attorney, on behalf of the City and County of San Francisco and the citizens of California ("Plaintiffs"), filed a civil action with a demand for a jury trial against Tutor-Saliba Corporation ("TSC"), the Tutor-Saliba, Perini & Buckley, Joint Venture ("JV"), Perini Corporation ("Perini"), Buckley & Company, Inc. ("Buckley") and their bonding companies in the United States District Court in San Francisco relating to seven contracts for work on the expansion of the San Francisco International Airport. The Plaintiffs allege various overcharges, bidding violations, violations of minority contracting regulations, civil fraud, and violation of the California and San Francisco False Claims and California Unfair Competition Acts. In addition, the Plaintiffs allege that TSC has violated the United States Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act. The Plaintiffs have asserted $30 million in damages and are seeking treble damages, various civil penalties and debarment of the JV and TSC from doing business with the City of San Francisco. The Plaintiffs have not allocated their claims for damages and penalties amongst the defendants or the seven contracts at issue, only two of which involved the JV. TSC is the managing partner of the JV and, in December 1997, Perini sold its entire 20% interest in the JV to TSC. TSC has agreed to indemnify Perini from any liability arising out of the joint venture, including legal fees and expenses.

(d) Perini/Kiewit/Cashman Joint Venture - Central Artery/Tunnel Project Matter
Perini/Kiewit/Cashman Joint Venture ("PKC"), a joint venture in which Perini Corporation holds a 56% interest and is the managing partner, is currently pursuing a series of claims for additional contract time and/or compensation against the Massachusetts Highway Department ("MHD") for work performed by PKC on a portion of the Central Artery/Tunnel project in Boston, Massachusetts. The claims relate to the construction of the Northbound Mainline Central Artery Tunnel from Kneeland Street to Congress Street. During construction, MHD ordered PKC to perform changes to the work and issued related direct cost changes with an estimated value, excluding time delay and inefficiency costs, in excess of $100 million.

(d) Perini/Kiewit/Cashman Joint Venture - Central Artery/Tunnel Project Matter (continued)

In addition, PKC encountered a number of unforeseen conditions during construction that greatly increased PKC's cost of performance.

Certain of PKC's claims have been presented to a Disputes Review Board ("DRB") which consists of three construction experts chosen by the parties. To date, the DRB has ruled on a binding basis that PKC is entitled to additional compensation for its contract time delay claim in the amount of $17.4 million. A Judge of the Massachusetts Superior Court has issued a decision upholding the DRB's binding award to PKC. Although MHD challenged several of the DRB's decisions relative to the contract time delay award discussed above, PKC received a favorable ruling on March 20, 2002 from the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that approved PKC's request to have MHD comply with the DRB's decision to award the $17.4 million for the time delay. The MHD has appealed the Superior Court decision to the Appeals Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The DRB has also ruled on a binding basis that PKC is entitled to additional compensation for impacts and inefficiencies caused by MHD to PKC's underpinning work in the amount of $5.6 million and that PKC is entitled to additional compensation for impacts and inefficiencies caused by MHD to PKC's utility work in the amount of $11.5 million. PKC has filed applications in these actions seeking to confirm the awards and MHD has filed civil actions in Massachusetts Superior Court seeking to vacate these awards.

Under the Dispute Resolution Rules of the contract, either party may periodically terminate the services of some or all of the DRB members provided that members who are removed under this provision will remain on the DRB through the completion of any then pending claims. The MHD has chosen to remove the current DRB members under this provision and those members are in the process of completing hearings on all pending claims. Although the replacement DRB members have been agreed upon, proceedings before the current DRB and the new DRB have been postponed pending resolution of the current negotiations discussed below.

The pending claims yet to be decided by the current/replacement DRB on a binding basis have an anticipated value of $43 million. The remaining claims to be decided by the replacement DRB on a non-binding basis have an anticipated value of $80 million.

On August 14, 2002 the Massachusetts Attorney General's office, pursuant to its authority under the Massachusetts False Claims Act, served a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") on Perini and the other joint venture partners. The CID sought the production of certain construction claims documentation in connection with the Central Artery/Tunnel Contract No. C11A1. PKC vigorously denies that it submitted any false claims and is cooperating with the Attorney General's Office in the ongoing investigation

In December 2002, PKC and MHD entered into an agreement whereby the parties agreed to attempt to resolve by negotiation and mediation all of the outstanding claims on the project. As part of the agreement, the MHD recommended for approval by the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority a contract modification that provides for provisional payments to PKC totaling $25 million against PKC's outstanding claims. To date, PKC has received $23.75 million of those provisional payments. The parties also agreed to stay the pending litigation

and DRB proceedings during the negotiations. The ultimate financial impact of resolving all of the claims on this project is not yet determinable.

(e) Redondo/Perini Joint Venture vs. Siemens Transportation Matter
This is a binding arbitration proceeding arising out of a contract between the Redondo/Perini Joint Venture ("RPJV"), a joint venture in which Perini Corporation ("Perini") and Redondo Construction Corp. ("Redondo") each have a 50% interest, and the Siemens Transportation Partnership, S.E., Puerto Rico ("STP"). STP, in conjunction with the Siemens Transportation Team, is constructing a public metropolitan passenger rail transportation project for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico known as the Tren Urbano Phase I Project (the "Project"). The Project consists of approximately 17 kilometers of railway track work and the construction of sixteen railway stations in Puerto Rico which, for contracting purposes, have been divided into nine alignment sections. Pursuant to its contract with STP, RPJV has agreed to design and construct the majority of the railway station fixed facilities in Alignment Section 3 along with the railway track throughout the Project.

On March 19, 2002, Redondo filed a petition for reorganization under 11 U.S.C. Chapter 11 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Puerto Rico.

On December 23, 2002, RPJV filed an arbitration demand against STP seeking the recovery of additional costs related to design changes and the late completion of the design for Alignment Section 3 in the amount of approximately $38 million. On January 31, 2003, STP filed a counter-demand against RPJV seeking the recovery of damages allegedly related to defects in design and construction and the late completion of RPJV's work in the amount of approximately $17.9 million along with the repayment of approximately $22.6 million for alleged advances previously paid to RPJV.

An arbitration panel has not been chosen and no date for the arbitration hearing has been established. The ultimate financial impact of resolving all of the claims on this Project is not yet determinable.

(f) $21.25 Preferred Shareholders Class Action Lawsuit
On October 15, 2002, Frederick Doppelt, Arthur I. Caplan and Leland D. Zulch filed a lawsuit individually, and as representatives of a class of holders of the Company's $2.125 Depositary Convertible Exchangeable Shares (the "Depositary Shares", each of which represents 1/10th of a share of the Company's $21.25 Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Shares), against certain current and former directors of Perini (the "Massachusetts Defendants"). This lawsuit is captioned Doppelt, et al. v. Tutor, et al., United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, No. 02CV12010MLW. Mr. Doppelt is a current Director of the Company and Mr. Caplan is a former Director of the Company.

Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the Massachusetts Defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to the holders of the Depositary Shares and to Perini. The plaintiffs principally allege that the Massachusetts Defendants improperly authorized the exchange of Series B Preferred Stock for common stock while simultaneously refusing to pay accrued dividends due on the Depositary Shares. The plaintiffs seek damages in an amount not less than $14,875,000 plus interest, costs, fees, and other unspecified punitive and exemplary damages.

(6) Contingencies and Commitments (continued)
(f) $21.25 Preferred Shareholders Class Action Lawsuit (continued)

On January 6, 2003, the Massachusetts Defendants moved to dismiss the lawsuit. Among other things, the Massachusetts Defendants argued that: (1) they did not owe fiduciary duties to the holders of the Depositary Shares and (2) the claims of breach of fiduciary duty owed to Perini must be dismissed because the claim could only be brought as a derivative action. On March 21, 2003, the plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss. The Court has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss.

In 2001, a somewhat similar lawsuit was filed by some of the same plaintiffs in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In 2002, the case was dismissed and upon appeal by the plaintiffs to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the appeal was dismissed.

(g) Other
Contingent liabilities also include liability of contractors for performance and completion of both Company and joint venture construction contracts. In addition to the legal matters described above, the Company is involved in various lawsuits, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution proceedings. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

(7) Long-term Debt
On January 23, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank group to refinance its former credit facility with a new $45 million credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). In February 2003, the terms of the Credit Agreement were amended to increase the revolving credit facility from $45 million to $50 million; to extend the term of the Credit Agreement from January 2004 to June 2005; to increase the amount of unborrowed revolving commitment available for letters of credit from $5.0 million to $7.5 million; and to adjust certain financial covenants. Other terms of the Credit Agreement remained the same, including the provision that amounts due in June 2005, if not extended or repaid, convert to a three year term loan with equal quarterly principal payments. Because of this provision, borrowings under the Credit Agreement are classified as "Long-term Debt" in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

(8) Credit For Income Taxes
The credit for income taxes in 2003 is due primarily to the recognition of a $7.0 million federal tax benefit in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" based on the expectation that the Company will be able to utilize a portion of its net operating loss carryforwards in future years. In addition, the credit for income taxes reflects a lower-than-normal tax rate in both years due primarily to the realization of a portion of the federal tax benefit not recognized in prior years. Also, the credit for income taxes in 2002 reflects the reversal of the federal alternative minimum tax provided in 2001 which was no longer required based on the provisions of the Job Creation and Workers Assistance Act of 2002.

(9) Per Share Data
Basic earnings per common share was computed by dividing net income less dividends accrued on the $21.25 Preferred Stock during the period (see Note 10) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share was similarly computed after


PERINI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(9) Per Share Data (continued)
giving consideration to the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Options to purchase 3,164,500 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $4.50 to $8.66 per share were outstanding at March 31, 2003 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Common Stock. Options to purchase 564,000 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $8.10 to $16.44 per share were outstanding at March 31, 2002 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Common Stock. In addition, the effect of the assumed conversion of the Company's $21.25 Preferred Stock and Stock Purchase Warrants into Common Stock is antidilutive for both periods presented.

(10) Dividends
(a) Common Stock

There were no cash dividends declared or paid on the Company's outstanding Common Stock during the periods presented in the consolidated condensed financial statements included herein.

(b) $21.25 Preferred Stock
In conjunction with the covenants of the Company's prior Credit Agreements, the Company was required to suspend the payment of quarterly dividends on its $21.25 Preferred Stock until certain financial criteria were met. Quarterly dividends on the $21.25 Preferred Stock have not been paid since 1995 (although they have been fully accrued due to the "cumulative" feature of the $21.25 Preferred Stock). The aggregate amount of dividends in arrears is approximately $15,936,000 at March 31, 2003, which represents approximately $159.36 per share of $21.25 Preferred Stock or approximately $15.94 per Depositary Share and is included in "Other Long-term Liabilities" in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Under the terms of the $21.25 Preferred Stock, the holders of Depositary Shares are entitled to elect two additional Directors when dividends have been deferred for more than six quarters, and they did so at each of the last five Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Results of Operations

Comparison of the First Quarter of 2003 with the First Quarter of 2002

On January 23, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of James A. Cummings, Inc., (“Cummings”) a privately held construction company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The acquisition was effective as of January 1, 2003 and, accordingly, the financial results of Cummings are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position at and for the three months ended March 31, 2003. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a further discussion and analysis of the acquisition of Cummings and related pro forma financial information.

The overall increase in net income of $6.2 million, from $5.2 million in 2002 to $11.4 million in 2003 was due primarily to the recognition of a $7.0 million federal tax benefit based on the expectation that the Company will be able to utilize a portion of its net operating loss carryforwards in future years.

Overall revenues from construction operations decreased by $30.1 million (or 9.4%), from $321.4 million in 2002 to $291.3 million in 2003. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in civil construction revenues of $31.4 million (or 40.7%), from $77.1 million in 2002 to $45.7 million in 2003. Building construction revenues of $245.6 million in 2003 were approximately the same as building construction revenues of $244.3 million in 2002. The decrease in revenues from civil construction operations primarily reflects the decrease in the Company’s year-end backlog at December 31, 2002 compared to the year-end backlog at December 31, 2001, as the pace of new contract awards slowed during the past year. Building construction operations also experienced a decrease in revenues due to the slow pace of new work awards during the past year; however, this decrease was offset by an increase in revenues as a result of the Cummings acquisition in January, 2003.

Income from construction operations decreased by $0.4 million (or 5.6%), from $7.2 million in 2002 to $6.8 million in 2003. Building construction operating income decreased by $0.3 million, from $5.5 million in 2002 to $5.2 million in 2003. Building construction operating income was negatively impacted by a $0.9 million increase in building construction-related general and administrative expenses (exclusive of Cummings) primarily in connection with the pursuit of new work opportunities. Largely offsetting this increase in expense was an increase in gross profit in 2003 (exclusive of Cummings) as a result of an increase in the average gross margin on building construction contracts (exclusive of Cummings) from 3.8% in 2002 to 4.2% in 2003 due primarily to an upward profit revision on an overseas project. Despite the decrease in revenues discussed above, civil construction operating income decreased by only $0.1 million, from $1.7 million in 2002 to $1.6 million in 2003 due to an increase in the gross margin. The improvement in gross margin was primarily due to downward profit revisions in 2002 on several infrastructure projects in the metropolitan New York area. Income from operations was also negatively impacted by a $0.6 million increase in corporate general and administrative expenses, from $1.3 million in 2002 to $1.9 million in 2003 due primarily to an increase in outside professional fees relating to the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements and to the tender offer made by the Company in 2003 for up to 90% of its $2.125 Depositary Convertible Exchangeable Shares.

The credit for income taxes in 2003 is due primarily to the recognition of a $7.0 million federal tax benefit in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” based on the expectation that the Company will be able to utilize a portion of its net operating loss carryforwards in future years. In addition, the credit for income taxes reflects a lower-than-normal tax rate in both years due primarily to the realization of a portion of the federal tax benefit not recognized in prior years. Also, the credit for income taxes in 2002 reflects the reversal of the federal alternative minimum tax provided in 2001 which was no longer required based on the provisions of the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002.


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial Condition

In February 2003, the terms of the Company’s existing $45 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) were amended to increase the revolving credit facility from $45 million to $50 million; to extend the term of the Credit Agreement from January 2004 to June 2005; to increase the amount of unborrowed revolving credit commitment available for letters of credit from $5.0 million to $7.5 million; and to adjust certain financial covenants. Other terms of the Credit Agreement remained the same, including the provision that amounts due in June 2005, if not extended or repaid, convert to a three year term loan. The Credit Agreement, as amended, will provide the Company with greater flexibility in providing the working capital needed to support the anticipated growth of the Company’s construction activities and other corporate activities. At March 31, 2003, the Company had $42.2 million available to borrow under the Credit Agreement.

Cash and cash equivalents as reported in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows consist of amounts held by the Company as well as the Company’s proportionate share of amounts held by construction joint ventures. Cash held by the Company is available for general corporate purposes while cash held by construction joint ventures is available only for joint venture-related uses. Cash held by construction joint ventures is distributed from time to time to the Company and to the other joint venture participants in accordance with their percentage interest after the joint venture partners determine that a cash distribution is prudent. Cash distributions received by the Company from its construction joint ventures are then available for general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, cash held by the Company and available for general corporate purposes was $40.3 million and $11.2 million, respectively, and the Company’s proportionate share of cash held by joint ventures and available only for joint venture-related uses was $28.8 million and $35.8 million, respectively.

During the first three months of 2003, the Company generated $30.0 million in cash flow from operating activities and $3.4 million from a net increase in debt to fund $11.3 million used by investing activities, primarily for the acquisition of Cummings, as well as to acquire construction equipment and an office building and equipment storage facility to be used by Company’s civil construction operations. As a result, the Company’s consolidated cash balance increased by $22.1 million, from $47.0 million at December 31, 2002 to $69.1 million at March 31, 2003. In the first quarter of 2003 the Company received its proportionate share of provisional payments against outstanding claims on a Central Artery/Tunnel “Big Dig” joint venture project in Boston, Massachusetts, as a result of an agreement reached in December, 2002 (see Note 6(d) of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). This amount of approximately $13.3 million was a significant contributor to the $30.0 million in cash flow generated from operating activities in the first quarter of 2003.

Working capital decreased slightly, from $115.9 million at the end of 2002 to $108.4 million at March 31, 2003. The current ratio decreased from 1.44:1.00 to 1.35:1.00 during the same period.

Long-term debt at March 31, 2003 was $13.7 million, an increase of $1.6 million from December 31, 2002. The long-term debt to equity ratio was .14:1.00 at both March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002.

The aggregate amount of dividends in arrears on the Company’s $21.25 Preferred Stock is approximately $15,936,000 at March 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2000, the financial criteria in the Company’s prior Credit Agreement which restricted the payment of dividends were satisfied, thereby making the resumption of dividends possible if the Company believed that its working capital was sufficient to warrant the resumption of payment of the regular dividend or any of the dividends in arrears on the $21.25 Preferred Stock. The Company does not currently have any plans or target date for when this action may

occur. This decision is based on the following circumstances:

The Board of Directors does not believe that it is, or will be, proper or prudent to pay or commit to pay dividends on the $21.25 Preferred Stock for the foreseeable future, and it is not obligated to do so under the terms of the $21.25 Preferred Stock.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no material change in the Company’s exposure to market risk since December 31, 2002.


CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

        The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in paragraph (c) of the Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. In conjunction with their initial evaluation, they formed a Disclosure Controls and Procedures Committee to formalize the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures and to assist in the periodic evaluations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, they have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are operating effectively.

(b) Changes in internal controls

        There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.


Part II. - Other Information

Item 1. - Legal Proceedings

        Redondo/Perini Joint Venture vs. Siemens Transportation Matter
        This is a binding arbitration proceeding arising out of a contract between the Redondo/Perini
        Joint Venture ("RPJV"), a joint venture in which Perini Corporation ("Perini") and Redondo
        Construction Corp. ("Redondo") each have a 50% interest, and the Siemens Transportation
        Partnership, S.E., Puerto Rico ("STP").  STP, in conjunction with the Siemens Transportation Team,
        is constructing a public metropolitan passenger rail transportation project for the Commonwealth of
        Puerto Rico known as the Tren Urbano Phase I Project (the "Project").  The Project consists of
        approximately 17 kilometers of railway track work and the construction of sixteen railway stations in
        Puerto Rico which, for contracting purposes, have been divided into nine alignment sections.
        Pursuant to its contract with STP, RPJV has agreed to design and construct the majority of the
        railway station fixed facilities in Alignment Section 3 along with the railway track throughout the
        Project.

        On March 19, 2002, Redondo filed a petition for reorganization under 11 U.S.C. Chapter 11 in U.S.
        Bankruptcy Court for the District of Puerto Rico.

        On December 23, 2002, RPJV filed an arbitration demand against STP seeking the recovery of
        additional costs related to design changes and the late completion of the design for Alignment
        Section 3 in the amount of approximately $38 million.  On January 31, 2003, STP filed a counter-
        demand against RPJV seeking the recovery of damages allegedly related to defects in design and
        construction and the late completion of RPJV's work in the amount of approximately $17.9 million
        along with the repayment of approximately $22.6 million for alleged advances previously paid to
        RPJV.

        An arbitration panel has not been chosen and no date for the arbitration hearing has been
        established.  The ultimate financial impact of resolving all of the claims on this Project is not yet
        determinable.

Item 3. - Defaults Upon Senior Securities

(a)     None

Part II. - Other Information (continued)

(b)     In accordance with the covenants of the 1995 Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, the First
        Amended and Restated Credit Agreement effective January 17, 1997 and the Second Amended
        and Restated Credit Agreement effective March 29, 2000, the Company was required to suspend the
        payment of quarterly dividends on its $21.25 Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock ("$21.25
        Preferred Stock") until certain financial criteria were met, commencing with the dividend that
        normally would have been declared during December 1995.  Although the financial criteria were
        satisfied as of December 31, 2000 and the Company's most recent Credit Agreement, entered into in
        January 2002 and amended in February 2003, does not contain similar restrictions, the Board of
        Directors does not believe that it is proper or prudent to pay or commit to pay dividends on the
        $21.25 Preferred Stock for the foreseeable future based on the Company's other working capital
        requirements.  See additional comments under "Financial Condition" on pages 17 and 18 herein.
        Therefore, as of March 31,2003, the aggregate amount of dividends in arrears is approximately
        $15,936,000, which represents approximately $159.36 per share of $21.25 Preferred Stock or
        approximately $15.94 per Depositary Share.  While these dividends have not been declared or paid,
        they have been fully accrued in accordance with then "cumulative" feature of the $21.25 Preferred
        Stock.
