THE GOLDFIELD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2002 and 2001

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company, the results of its operations and changes in cash flows for the interim periods reported.  These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  All financial statements presented herein are unaudited.  The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date as adjusted to reflect the assets and liabilities of the mining operations as discontinued and to reflect all assets and liabilities, as current and noncurrent (not netted), as required by a new accounting pronouncement (SFAS 144) adopted January 1, 2002.  In addition, the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 have been restated to reflect the operating results of the mining operations within discontinued operations.

Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

On December 18, 2001, the Company announced it was considering strategic moves to maximize shareholder value, including possible divestiture of its mining operations.  To assist in this review, the Company retained the investment banking firm, McFarland Dewey & Co., LLC.  On April 23, 2002, the company announced that it had signed a letter of intent to sell all of its existing mining operations to an unaffiliated private purchaser.  This letter of intent has expired and the Company is actively pursuing discussions with other possible purchasers.  Any sale will be contingent upon the Company finding a buyer that can offer a price and terms that are acceptable to the Company. There can be no assurance that a sale of the Company's mining operations will materialize.  Accordingly, as required by SFAS 144, the operating results of the mining operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and prior periods have been restated as discontinued operations.

Based on management's estimate, the Company does not expect to incur either a loss on the disposal of the mining segment or operating losses during the disposal period.  The actual results on disposal of the mining segment, including operating results through the disposal period, may be different from management's estimates and the difference could be material. To the extent actual proceeds from the eventual sale of the assets of the mining segment and operating results during the period differ from management's estimates reflected in these consolidated financial statements, the variance will be reported within discontinued operations in future periods.

The following table sets forth certain unaudited operating results of the discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, as indicated:

The following table sets forth certain unaudited operating results of the discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, as indicated:

Assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been reflected in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on the original classification of the accounts.  The following is a summary of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations:

In April 2002, the Company entered into a $6,000,000 loan agreement, of which $4,500,000 can be used for the construction development costs of the Company's condominium projects and $1,500,000 can be used for the working capital needs of the Company. Under the terms of the loan, interest is payable monthly at an annual rate equal to the "Monthly Libor Index" plus one and nine-tenths percent (3.74% at June 30, 2002). The proceeds from the sale of the condominiums will be used to repay the loan. At the sole option of the lender, the outstanding principal and interest is due and payable in full within 30 days of the lender providing written notice to the Company. The loan is guaranteed by the Company's electrical construction subsidiary and is collateralized by a security interest in the subsidiary's assets. Borrowings outstanding under this agreement were $2,082,642 at June 30, 2002. The amount available for additional borrowings at June 30, 2002 was $2,417,358 and $1,500,000, for construction development costs and working capital, respectively. The loan agreement contains various financial covenants, including, but not limited to, minimum tangible net worth, minimum current ratio, and maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio. Other loan covenants prohibit, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness, issuing loans to other entities in excess of a certain amount, entering into a merger or consolidation, and any change in the Company's current Chief Executive Officer without prior written consent from the lender.  The company was in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2002.

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company capitalized interest costs of $31,155 and $16,820, respectively, related to condominium construction.

The Company has provided third party guarantees for the Company's wholly owned mining subsidiaries, St. Cloud Mining Company and The Lordsburg Mining

8

Company, in favor of the State of New Mexico's Mining and Minerals Division of the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department ("Financial Assurances").  These Financial Assurances, amounting to $269,787, guaranty approved post mine reclamation plans for the Company's mines.  The Company has also provided a Financial Assurance for $16,390 to guaranty approved post mine reclamation plans for the San Pedro Mine.  Although the Company sold the San Pedro Mine to an unrelated third party during 1999, the Company remains liable under this guaranty.

In certain circumstances, the Company is required to provide performance bonds in connection with its contractual commitments.  Management is not aware of any performance bonds issued for the Company that have ever been called by a customer.  As of June 30, 2002, outstanding performance bonds issued on behalf of the Company amounted to approximately $4,400,000.

At June 30, 2002, the Company had tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,581,000 available to offset future taxable income, which if unused will expire from 2008 through 2018.  The Company has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $381,000, which are available to reduce future Federal income taxes over an indefinite period.

Basic earnings per common share, after deducting dividend requirements on the Company's Series A 7% Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Series A Stock"), is equal to net income divided by the weighted average of the number of common stock shares outstanding.  The weighted average of the number of common stock shares outstanding excludes 17,358 shares of Treasury Stock for each of the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.  Diluted earnings per share include additional dilution from potential common stock, such as stock options outstanding or the conversion of preferred shares to common shares.

The Company paid dividends on its Series A Stock in the amount of $11,879 and $5,940 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.  All 339,407 shares of the Company's Series A Stock were redeemed on July 20, 2001 at a redemption price of $1.00 per share.

Excluding the mining operations, which are being reported as discontinued operations, the Company is primarily involved in two lines of business, electrical construction and real estate.  There were no material amounts of sales or transfers between lines of business and no material amounts of export sales.  Any intersegment sales have been eliminated.

The following table sets forth certain segment information for the periods indicated:

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."  This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions of a Segment of a Business."

10

This Statement is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  Adoption of this Statement on January 1, 2002 did not have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. However, the Company did reclassify the results of operations related to the mining segment during the six months ended June 30, 2002 from earnings from continuing operations to earnings from discontinued operations in accordance with the Statement.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment to FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."  The rescinded FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64 address reporting gains or losses from extinguishment of debt, extinguishment of debt made to satisfy sinking-fund requirements, and accounting for intangible assets of motor carriers, respectively.  The amendment to FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, addresses the accounting and reporting of sale-leaseback transactions that are initiated by capital leases that are converted to operating leases.  The Technical Corrections apply to existing pronouncements and are insubstantial in nature.  This Statement is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.  Adoption of this Statement on January 1, 2003 is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This Statement requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity.  This Statement is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.  Adoption of this Statement on January 1, 2003 is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

We make "forward looking statements" within the "safe harbor" provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 throughout this document and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "plan," and "continue" or similar words.  We have based these statements on our current expectations about future events.  Although we believe that our expectations reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will be achieved.  Our actual results may differ materially from what we currently expect.  Factors that may effect our results include, among others: the level of construction activities by public utilities; the timing and duration of construction projects for which we are engaged; our ability to estimate accurately with respect to fixed price construction contracts; heightened competition in the electric construction field, including intensification of price competition; the availability of skilled construction labor; and, in connection with our real estate projects, general economic conditions, both nationally and in our region.  Important factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document are also set forth in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section and elsewhere in this document.

You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from

11

what we expect.  We may not update these forward-looking statements, even in the event that our situation changes in the future.  All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to fixed price contracts and deferred income tax assets.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

A number of factors relating to our business affect the recognition of contract revenue.  The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed except when work is performed under a fixed price contract.  Revenue from fixed price construction contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method.  Under this method, estimated contract income and resulting revenue is generally accrued based on costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs.  Total estimated costs, and thus contract income, are impacted by changes in productivity, scheduling, and the unit cost of labor, subcontracts, materials and equipment.  Additionally, external factors such as weather, client needs, client delays in providing approvals, labor availability and governmental regulation, may also affect the progress and estimated cost of a project's completion and thus the timing of income and revenue recognition.  If a current estimate of total contract cost indicates a loss on a contract, the projected loss is recognized in full when determined. Revenue from change orders, extra work, variations in the scope of work and claims is recognized when realization is reasonably assured.

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  While the Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made.  Likewise, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to Six months ended June 30, 2001

Continuing Operations

Revenues

Total revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $10,990,606, compared to $11,145,149 in the six months ended June 30, 2001.  This net decrease in total revenues was largely attributable to slightly lower revenues in the electrical construction operations.

Electrical construction revenue decreased by 1.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $10,890,529 from $11,069,107 in the six months ended June 30, 2001. The net decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in fiber optic projects which was largely offset by an increase in transmission line projects.  There was no revenue earned from fiber optic construction during the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Revenue, costs and expenses, and gross profit relating to real estate operations through June 30, 2002 were not significant, and were attributable largely to the sale of single-family lots in the Fawn Lake subdivision near Mims, Florida ("Fawn Lake").  However, at June 30, 2002 the Company had investments in real estate of $4,653,201, primarily representing expenditures made in connection with the Company's condominium development projects described below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources." The Company's policy with respect to its initial condominium project is to recognize revenue only as title is transferred and the purchaser has made the required initial investment. With respect to future projects, the Company may elect to recognize revenue under the percentage of completion method.  The Company anticipates that these projects will generate significant revenues.  In July 2002, the Company began recognizing revenue on its first condominium project, which is described below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Operating Results

Electrical construction operations had a gross profit of $1,887,398 in the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to a gross profit of $1,965,799 during the six months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of 4.0%.  As a percentage of revenue, gross margins on electrical construction operations decreased to 17.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 17.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2001.  Gross profit was lower for the six months ended June 30, 2002 due primarily to decreased margins on transmission line construction.  The varying magnitude and duration of electrical construction projects may result in substantial fluctuation in the Company's backlog from time to time.  At June 30, 2002, the approximate value of uncompleted contracts was $4,300,000 compared to $15,000,000 at June 30, 2001.  The Company expects electrical construction performance in the third quarter will be adversely affected by a lower level of activity attributable to both seasonal factors and a general slackening of near-term industry demand.  Recent bidding activity suggests this downtrend may be temporary.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses, and the components thereof, decreased slightly to $10,233,831 in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $10,537,946 in the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Electrical construction costs were $8,350,433 in the six months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of 1.9% from $8,508,397 in the six months ended June 30,

13

2001.  The slight decrease was primarily attributable to decreased variable costs prompted by the decrease in revenues.

Depreciation and amortization was $677,358 in the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $633,311 in the six months ended June 30, 2001.  The increase in depreciation and amortization for 2001 was largely a result of recent capital expenditures, most of which have occurred in the Company's electrical construction business.

General and administrative expenses of the Company decreased to $1,161,630 in the six months ended June 30, 2002, from $1,350,407 in the six months ended June 30, 2001.  The net decrease was primarily a result of decreases in both proxy solicitation costs and professional fees, which were partially offset by an increase in legal fees attributable to the proposed sale of the mining segment.  General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, decreased to 10.6% from 12.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Other Income

Other income in the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $29,565, compared to $116,788 in the six months ended June 30, 2001.  The decrease in other income for 2002 was mainly a result of decreased interest income as a result of the general decline in interest rates.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $316,790 in the six months ended June 30, 2002, an effective tax rate of 40.3%, as compared to an income tax provision of $254,500 in the six months ended June 30, 2001, an effective tax rate of 35.2%. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate for the six months ended June 30, 2002 largely due to state income taxes.  For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the effective income tax rate was lower than anticipated due to a $128,000 decrease in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.  Refer to the above described "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" for details on the valuation allowance that relates to the deferred tax assets.

Discontinued Operations

On December 18, 2001, the Company announced it was considering strategic moves to maximize shareholder value, including possible divestiture of its mining operations.  To assist in this review, the Company retained the investment banking firm, McFarland Dewey & Co., LLC.  On April 23, 2002, the company announced that it had signed a letter of intent to sell all of its existing mining operations to an unaffiliated private purchaser.  This letter of intent has expired and the Company is actively pursuing discussions with other possible purchasers.  Any sale will be contingent upon the Company finding a buyer that can offer a price and terms that are acceptable to the Company.  There can be no assurance that a sale of the Company's mining operations will materialize. Accordingly, as required by SFAS 144, the operating results of the mining operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 and prior periods have been restated as discontinued operations.

Based on management's estimate, the Company does not expect to incur either a loss on the disposal of the mining segment or operating losses during the disposal period.  The actual results on disposal of the mining segment, including operating results through the disposal period, may be different from management's estimates and the difference could be material. To the extent actual proceeds from the eventual sale of the assets of the mining segment and operating results during the period differ from management's

 14

estimates reflected in these consolidated financial statements, the variance will be reported within discontinued operations in future periods. 

Revenues

Revenue from mining operations increased 49.4% to $1,454,404 in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $973,769 in the six months ended June 30, 2001.  This increase was attributable to an increase in construction aggregate projects.

Operating Results

During the six months ended June 30, 2002, mining operations experienced a gross gain of $181,609 compared to a gross loss of $80,461 during the six months ended June 30, 2001.  As a percentage of revenue, gross margins in the mining operations improved to 12.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from (8.3)% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Gross margins improved as a result of increased revenue, reduced per-unit costs and reduced depreciation expense. The operating results from mining included depreciation expense of $54,288 during the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $124,269 during the six months ended June 30, 2001.  In conformity with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the provision for depreciation expense on the mining assets was suspended at the end of March 2002.

St. Cloud Mining Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold 8,634 tons of natural zeolite during the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 8,448 tons during the six months ended June 30, 2001.

The Lordsburg Mining Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold 19,869 tons of construction aggregate during the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 2,203 tons in the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses

Mining costs were $1,218,507 in the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $929,961 in the six months ended June 30, 2001.  This increase was mainly attributable to an increase in construction aggregate projects.

Other Income

Other income in the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $278,688, compared to $209,110 in the six months ended June 30, 2001.  For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, other income included $248,320 and $186,566, respectively, from the gain on sale of land in New Mexico earned by the Company's mining subsidiary.

Three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to Three months ended June 30, 2001

 Continuing Operations

 Revenues

Total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $5,368,081, compared to $4,684,614 in the three months ended June 30, 2001.  This increase in total revenues was attributable to higher revenues in the electrical construction operations.

Electrical construction revenue increased by 14.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $5,293,753 from $4,618,111 in the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily as a result of an increase in transmission line

15

construction projects.  There was no revenue earned from fiber optic construction during the three months ended June 30, 2002. 

Revenue, costs and expenses, and gross profit relating to real estate operations in the three months ended June 30, 2002 were not significant, and were attributable largely to the sale of single-family lots in Fawn Lake.   

Operating Results

Electrical construction operations had a gross profit of $1,056,883 in the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to a gross profit of $369,225 during the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of 186.2%.  As a percentage of revenue, gross margins on electrical construction operations increased to 19.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from 7.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2001.  Gross profit was higher for the three months ended June 30, 2002 due primarily to increased margins on transmission line construction.  Salaries and sub-contractor costs, as a percent of revenue, both decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2002 in comparison to the three months ended June 30, 2001. 

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses, and the components thereof, decreased slightly to $4,946,842 in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $5,079,913 in the three months ended June 30, 2001.

Electrical construction costs were $3,904,846 in the three months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of 1.1% from $3,946,763 in the three months ended June 30, 2001.  This decrease was largely attributable to a decrease in the amount of sub-contractor costs related to electrical construction jobs.

Depreciation and amortization was $344,374 in the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $321,323 in the three months ended June 30, 2001.  The increase in depreciation and amortization was largely a result of recent capital expenditures, most of which have occurred in the Company's electrical construction business.

General and administrative expenses of the Company decreased to $676,423 in the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $791,465 in the three months ended June 30, 2001.  The net decrease was primarily a result of decrease in proxy solicitation costs which were partially offset by an increase in legal fees attributable to the proposed sale of the mining segment.  General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 12.6% from 16.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001.

Other Income

Other income in the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $11,869, compared to $60,329 in the three months ended June 30, 2001.  The decrease in other income for 2002 was mainly a result of decreased interest income as a result of the general decline in interest rates.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $174,355 in the three months ended June 30, 2002, an effective tax rate of 40.3%, as compared to an income tax provision (benefit) of $(103,989) in the three months ended June 30, 2001, an effective tax rate of (31.0)%. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2002 largely due to state income taxes.

Discontinued Operations

Revenues

Revenue from mining operations increased 75.5% to $752,620 in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $428,883 in the three months ended June 30, 2001.  This increase was attributable to an increase in construction aggregate projects.

Operating Results

During the three months ended June 30, 2002, mining operations experienced a gross gain of $211,447 compared to a gross loss of $49,518 during the three months ended June 30, 2001.  As a percentage of revenue, gross margins in the mining operations improved to 28.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from (11.5)% for the three months ended June 30, 2001.  Gross margins improved as a result of increased revenue, reduced per-unit costs and reduced depreciation expense.  The operating results from mining included depreciation expense of $62,337 during the three months ended June 30, 2001.  In conformity with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the provision for depreciation expense on the mining assets was suspended at the end of March 2002.

St. Cloud Mining Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold 4,876 tons of natural zeolite during the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 4,047 tons during the three months ended June 30, 2001.

On June 30, 2002 the Company had a loan balance with Wachovia in the amount of $2,082,642. This new line of credit replaces the previous line of credit and mortgage note payable provided by SunTrust Bank of Central Florida, N.A.

As of June 30, 2002, the Company had expended $4,503,309 in land acquisition and development costs on its four condominium projects.  This was funded from internal cash reserves and bank financing. Outstanding borrowings under bank financing were $2,082,642 and $955,268 as of June 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, respectively.  It is anticipated that future construction costs will be funded through bank financing and will be repaid from the proceeds from condominium sales. In July 2002, this loan was substantially repaid with proceeds from the sale of the first condominium project, a twelve-unit riverfront condominium, "Country Club Point". The amount of borrowings outstanding at anytime will be dependant upon the funding needs of current condominium projects.  The primary focus of the Company's real estate operations is on the development of small, high-end, waterfront condominium projects.  To date, the Company has purchased four sites, three of which are waterfront, in the Cocoa Beach, Florida area. 

During July 2001, construction commenced on Country Club Point. In July 2002, the Country Club Point Certificate of Occupancy was received and the closing process commenced.  All twelve units are under contract for sale (total aggregate sales price of $4,300,000) and the Company expects all closings to be completed in the third quarter of 2002.  In the third quarter of this year, the Company expects to report pre-tax income of approximately $1,000,000 from this project.

The Company has recently commenced construction on "Riomar", a six-unit oceanfront condominium project. Five of the six units at Riomar (total estimated aggregate sales price of $4,050,000) are under contract for sale. Riomar is anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2003.
