MEADOW VALLEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       Description of Business:

       Nature of Corporation:
            Meadow Valley Corporation (the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 15, 1994. The principal business purpose of the Company is to operate as the holding company of Meadow Valley Contractors, Inc. (“MVCI”) and Ready Mix, Inc. (“RMI”). MVCI is a general contractor, primarily engaged in the construction of structural concrete highway bridges and overpasses, and the paving of highways and airport runways in the states of Nevada, Arizona and Utah. RMI manufactures and distributes ready mix concrete in the Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix, AZ metropolitan areas. Formed by the Company, RMI commenced operations in 1997.

       Reclassifications:
            Certain balances for the period ending June 30, 2001 have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation. These classifications had no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

       Liquidity:
            The Company incurred income (loss) from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 of $413,061 and $(479,657) and has used cash in operating activities of $(1,380,048) and $(631,541) for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. In order to improve working capital, the Company executed a definitive agreement on March 22, 2002 to sell certain pit assets classified as assets held for sale at December 31, 2001 to United Metro Materials Inc. (“United Metro”). The transaction closed on May 9, 2002. The net book value of assets sold and liabilities assumed was $51,668. Proceeds from the sale total $3,833,760 and include payments from United Metro and refunds of certain pit and equipment costs. In connection with the transaction, United Metro also assumed $1,693,267 in future lease obligations resulting in a decrease of $38,216 in monthly lease payments. If sales during the next twenty-four months, as measured in tons of materials sold, meet or exceed a stipulated minimum amount, United Metro will pay an additional $250,000 as specified in the purchase agreement. Cash proceeds from the sale of the Prescott pit assets were primarily used to reduce subcontract, trade payables and eliminate $211,525 in debt.

            Working capital for the periods ending September 30, 2001, December 31, 2001, March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002 were $7,884,187, ($1,194,786), ($2,240,328) and ($650,762), respectively. The swing in working capital from a surplus to a deficit occurring between the third and fourth quarter of 2001 was primarily caused by classifying a portion of the Company’s current asset entitled “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” (“Underbillings”) to the non-current asset entitled “Claims receivable.” It is the Company’s practice to present recorded contract proceeds that have not yet been billed as Underbillings. Should an Underbilling amount be disputed and it becomes necessary for the Company to file a formal claim to recover the disputed amount, then the disputed Underbilling amount is reclassed to claims receivable in the period during which the formal claim is filed. Accordingly, claims receivable for the periods ending September 30, 2001, December 31, 2001, March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002 were $0, $5,968,026, $5,968,026 and $7,928,534, respectively. The Company is aggressively pursuing its claims receivable.

            Low levels of working capital make the Company’s financial well-being sensitive to even small changes in profitability and working capital will remain limited until such time as claims receivable are collected. The Company continues efforts to improve working capital. In January 2002, the Company engaged the services of AMG Financing Capital, Inc. to assist in finding potential sources of financing to meet future financial obligations. The Company is also employing the services of another consultant to pursue other strategic options. While significant effort has been expended to solve the Company’s need for additional funds, no definitive progress can be reported as of this filing. The Company may need to consider the disposal of other assets as a means to supply working capital. Should the Company not be able to sell other assets, attract additional financing or generate sufficient cash flows from operations, more drastic alternative strategies may be required that will dramatically impact the operations and financial condition of the Company.

2.       Presentation of Interim Information:

            The amounts included in this report are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements have been included. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year.

3.       Revenue and Cost Recognition:

            Revenues and costs from fixed-price and modified fixed-price construction contracts are recognized for each contract on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to the estimated total direct costs. Direct costs include, among other things, direct labor, field labor, equipment rent, subcontracting, direct materials and direct overhead. General and administrative expenses are accounted for as period costs and are, therefore, not included in the calculation of the estimates to complete construction contracts in progress. Project losses are provided in the period in which such losses are determined, without reference to the percentage-of-completion. As contracts can extend over one or more accounting periods, revisions in costs and earnings estimated during the course of the work are reflected during the accounting period in which the facts that required such revision become known.

            Claims for additional contract revenue are recognized only to the extent that contract costs relating to the claim have been incurred and evidence provides a legal basis for the claim. As of June 30, 2002, the total amount of contract claims filed by the Company with various public entities was $42,761,310. Of that sum, the Company’s portion was $27,599,789 and the balance of $15,161,521 pertains to other parties relating to the various contracts. Total claim amounts reported by the Company in its filings are approximate and are subject to revision as final documentation progresses. Relative to the aforementioned claims, the Company has recorded $7,928,534 in claim revenue to offset a portion of the costs incurred to-date on the claims. In the accompanying June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 balance sheets, claims receivable in the amounts of $7,928,534 and $5,968,026, respectively, has been recorded in connection with the claims filed. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company has also recorded $1,651,653 and $1,817,831, respectively, in its Underbillings for unpaid quantities, unpaid change orders, and pending change orders in advance of receipt in connection with the claims filed. Although the Company believes these amounts represent a reasonably conservative posture, any claims proceeds and payments for previously unpaid quantities, unpaid change orders and pending change orders ultimately paid to the Company less than the aggregate amount recorded on the balance sheet of $9,580,187 will result in a charge to earnings. Conversely, a payment for those same items in excess of $9,580,187 will result in an increase in income.

            A common and customary practice in construction contracts is the owner’s withholding of a portion of the contract in the form of retention. Retention practices vary from contract to contract, but in general, retention (usually somewhere between 5% to 10% of the contract) is withheld from each progress payment by the owner and then paid upon satisfactory completion of the contract. Contract proceeds comprising retention are included in the Company’s balance sheet in accounts receivable. The portion of accounts receivable pertaining to retention withheld on the contracts for which claims have been filed amount to $2,547,515. The degree to which the Company is successful in recouping its costs from the claims may also impact the amount of retention paid by the owner. The Company believes that all retention amounts currently being held by the owners on the contracts with outstanding claims will be paid in full in accordance with the contract terms. Therefore, no allowance has been made to reduce the receivables due from the retention on the disputed contracts.

4.       Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

            In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board finalized FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. It also requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142, the Company reclassify the carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria in SFAS 141.

            SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142. SFAS 142 is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and to the intangible assets recognized at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. SFAS 142 requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. The Company is also required to reassess the useful lives of other intangible assets within the first interim quarter after adoption of SFAS 142.

            SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, was issued in June 2001 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS 143 requires that any legal obligation related to the retirement of long-lived assets be quantified and recorded as a liability with the associated asset retirement cost capitalized on the balance sheet in the period it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can be made.

            SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, was issued in August 2001 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations.

            The adoption of SFAS 141, SFAS 142 and SFAS 144 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

            The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 143 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

            Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of SFAS Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS 145), updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt. SFAS 145 amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to SFAS No. 4 and SFAS No. 13 are effective for fiscal years beginning and transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, respectively. It is anticipated that the financial impact of SFAS 145 will not have a material effect on the Company.

4.       Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued):

            Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), requires the Company 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. SFAS 146 replaces Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The provisions of SFAS 146 are to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

5.       Notes Payable:

            Summary of second quarter additions to notes payable and its balance at June 30, 2002:

            Following are maturities of the above long-term debt for each of the next 2 years:

6.       Line of Credit:

            In July 2000, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement (“line of credit”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may borrow up to $7,000,000 at Chase Manhattan Bank’s prime, plus .25% through December 31, 2001 at which time the line of credit was to convert to a term agreement requiring monthly principal and interest payments through December 31, 2005. The line of credit is collateralized by all of the Company’s assets. Under the terms of the line of credit, the Company is required to maintain a certain level of tangible net worth. In addition, the Company is also required to maintain a ratio of total debt to tangible net worth. As of June 30, 2002, the Company was not in compliance with the tangible net worth covenant, but was in compliance with the ratio of total debt to tangible net worth. Effective March 2002, the Company amended the line of credit agreement. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the interest rate increased to Chase Manhattan Bank’s prime, plus 1.5% through January 1, 2003 at which time the line of credit converts to a term agreement requiring monthly principal and interest payments through December 31, 2006. In connection with the amendment, the Company obtained a waiver from non-compliance with the tangible net worth covenant for the period from December 31, 2001 to January 1, 2003. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had withdrawn the entire $7,000,000 from the line of credit.

7.       Statement of Cash Flows:

       Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities:
            The Company recognized investing and financing activities that affected assets and liabilities, but did not result in cash receipts or payments. These non-cash activities are as follows:

            During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company financed the purchase of equipment in the amount of $1,542,801.

8.       Litigation and Claim Matters:

              The Company is a party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. With the exception of those matters detailed below, the Company believes that the nature of these proceedings (which generally relate to disputes between the Company and its subcontractors, material suppliers or customers regarding payment for work performed or materials supplied) are typical for a construction firm of its size and scope, and no other pending proceedings are material to its financial condition.

              The following proceedings represent matters that may become material and have already been or may soon be referred to legal counsel for further action:

            Requests for Equitable Adjustment to Construction Contracts. The Company has made claims as described below on the following contracts:

            The above claims combined total $42,761,310. Of that sum, the Company’s portion of the claims total $27,599,789 and the balance of $15,161,521 pertains to other parties relating to the various contracts. Total claim amounts reported by the Company in its filings are approximate and are subject to revision as final documentation progresses. Relative to the aforementioned claims, the Company has recorded $7,928,534 in claim revenue to offset a portion of the costs incurred to-date on the claims. In the accompanying June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 balance sheets, claims receivable in the amounts of $7,928,534 and $5,968,026, respectively, has been recorded in connection with the claims filed. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company has also recorded $1,651,653 and $1,817,831, respectively, in its Underbillings for unpaid quantities, unpaid change orders, and pending change orders in advance of receipt in connection with the claims filed. Although the Company believes these amounts represent a reasonably conservative posture, any claims proceeds and payments for previously unpaid quantities, unpaid change orders and pending change orders ultimately paid to the Company less than the aggregate amount recorded on the balance sheet of $9,580,187 will result in a charge to earnings. Conversely, a payment for those same items in excess of $9,580,187 will result in an increase in income.

9.       Subsequent Events:

            In July 2002, the Company financed the purchase of equipment in the amount of $203,817. The note payable has an interest rate of 7.9%, with monthly payments of $6,378, and is due July 11, 2005.

            In July 2002, new contracts in the approximate amount of $16.8 million were awarded to the Company. These contracts are not included in the June 30, 2002 backlog. As of August 1, 2002, the Company was low bidder on additional contracts valued at approximately $11.8 million that should be awarded during August 2002 at which time the contract value will be added to backlog.

            In July 2002, the Company filed lawsuits against the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department on three highway construction contracts on which the Company had previously sought, and continues to seek, equitable adjustments to the contracts.

            The NASDAQ Stock Market notified the Company in writing on August 5, 2002 that the price of the Company’s stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued inclusion under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) (the “Rule”). The Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until February 3, 2003, to regain compliance. If, at any time before February 3, 2003, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, the NASDAQ staff will provide written notification that the Company complies with the Rule.

            The plaintiffs of a lawsuit filed against the Company in July 2002 are Johnson & Danley Construction Co, Inc., J.D. Materials, Inc. and Joel T. Danley. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the Company is partially to blame for their bankruptcy and resultant contract termination by the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department. Please refer to the more detailed descriptions of this legal proceeding contained in this filing under Note 8 to the Financial Statements and in Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

            In July 2002, the Company executed an employment agreement with one of its key managers that provide for an annual salary and various other benefits and incentives. As of July 31, 2002, the total commitments, excluding benefits and incentives, amount to $90,000.

10.       Segment Information:

            The Company manages and operates two segments, construction services and construction materials. The construction services segment provides construction services to a broad range of public and some private customers primarily in the western states of Arizona, Nevada and Utah. Through this segment, the Company performs heavy civil construction such as the construction of bridges and overpasses, channels, roadways, highways and airport runways. The construction materials segment manufactures and distributes ready mix concrete and sand and gravel products in the Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix, AZ markets. Material customers include concrete subcontractors, prime contractors, homebuilders, commercial and industrial property developers, pool builders and homeowners. The construction materials segment operates out of two locations in the Las Vegas, NV vicinity, one location in the Moapa, NV vicinity and two locations in the Phoenix, AZ vicinity.

            There are no differences in accounting principals between the segments. All centrally incurred costs are allocated to the construction services segment. Intercompany revenue is eliminated at cost to arrive at consolidated revenue and cost of revenue.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

            The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors affecting the Company’s financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

            Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

            The Company’s backlog (anticipated revenue from the uncompleted portions of awarded projects) was approximately $47.7 million at June 30, 2002, compared to approximately $95.3 million at June 30, 2001. At June 30, 2002, the Company’s backlog included approximately $35.0 million of work that is scheduled for completion during 2002. Construction services revenue for the second half of 2001 was approximately $77.0 million and that was accomplished with a backlog of $95.3 million as of June 30, 2001, the start of the second half. As this year’s second half begins and with backlog down 50% from one year ago to $47.7 million, construction services revenue for the second half of 2002 will be less than the second half of 2001.

            Revenue on uncompleted fixed price contracts is recorded under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The Company begins to recognize revenue on its contracts when it first accrues direct costs. Contracts often involve work periods in excess of one year and revisions in cost and profit estimates during construction are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts that require the revisions become known. Losses on contracts, if any, are provided in total when determined, regardless of the percent complete. Claims for additional contract revenue are recognized only to the extent that contract costs relating to the claim have been incurred and evidence provides a legal basis for the claim. As of June 30, 2002, the total amount of claims that have been submitted were $42,761,310. Of that sum, the Company’s portion of the claims total was $27,599,789 and the balance of $15,161,521 pertains to other parties relating to the various contracts. Total claim amounts reported by the Company in its filings are approximate and are subject to revision as final documentation progresses. Relative to the aforementioned claims, the Company has recorded $7,928,534 in claim revenue to offset a portion of the costs incurred to-date on the claims. In the accompanying June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 balance sheets, claims receivable in the amounts of $7,928,534 and $5,968,026, respectively, has been recorded in connection with the claims filed. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company has also recorded $1,651,653 and $1,817,831, respectively, in its Underbillings for unpaid quantities, unpaid change orders, and pending change orders in advance of receipt in connection with the claims filed. Although the Company believes these amounts represent a reasonably conservative posture, any claims proceeds and payments for previously unpaid quantities, unpaid change orders and pending change orders ultimately paid to the Company less than the aggregate amount recorded on the balance sheet of $9,580,187 will result in a charge to earnings. Conversely, a payment for those same items in excess of $9,580,187 will result in an increase in income.

            The portion of accounts receivable pertaining to retention withheld on the contracts for which claims have been filed amount to $2,547,515. The degree to which the Company is successful in recouping its costs from the claims may also impact the amount of retention paid by the owner. The Company believes that all retention amounts currently being held by the owners on the contracts with outstanding claims will be paid in full in accordance with the contract terms. Therefore, no allowance has been made to reduce the receivables due from the retention on the disputed contracts.

Significant Accounting Policies

              Our significant accounting policies are described in the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. We believe our most critical accounting policy is the revenue recognition and cost estimation on certain contracts for which we use a percentage of completion accounting method. This accounting method is applied by our

17

Table of Contents

Construction Services Operations to heavy construction projects executed under multi-year contracts with various customers.

              Revenues and costs from fixed-price and modified fixed-price construction contracts are recognized for each contract on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to the estimated total of direct costs. Direct costs include, among other things, direct labor, field labor, equipment rent, subcontracting, direct materials, and direct overhead. General and administrative expenses are accounted for as period costs and are, therefore, not included in the calculation of the estimates to complete construction contracts in progress. Project losses are provided in the period in which such losses are determined, without reference to the percentage-of-completion. As contracts can extend over one or more accounting periods, revisions in costs and earnings estimated during the course of the work are reflected during the accounting period in which the facts that required such revisions become known.

            The asset “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability “billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

              The complexity of the estimation process and all issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the percentage of completion method of accounting affects the amounts reported in our financial statements. A number of internal and external factors affect our percentage of completion estimates, including labor rate and efficiency variances, estimated future material prices and customer specification changes. If our business conditions were different, or if we used different assumptions in the application of this accounting policy, it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported in our financial statements.

Results of Operations

       The following table sets forth, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, certain items derived from the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations expressed as a percentage of revenue.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

            Revenue and Backlog. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 (“interim 2002”) was $77.0 million compared to $80.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 (“interim 2001”). The decrease in revenue was the result of a $7.0 million decrease in construction services, offset by a $3.2 million increase in revenue generated from construction materials sales to non-affiliates. Backlog at the beginning of this fiscal year was $76.0 million compared to $75.0 million a year ago. First half revenue was impacted less by the amount of the beginning backlog than by the progress schedules and nature of the contracts contained in the backlog at the beginning of interim 2002. Revenue may be impacted in any one period by the backlog at the beginning of the period. Backlog decreased 50% to $47.7 million at June 30, 2002 from $95.3 million at June 30, 2001. Because so much of the Company’s business stems from competitively bid public works, backlog will fluctuate depending upon

the amount and type of contracts that the Company bids on and wins. Bid bonds provided by the Company’s surety company are required on most of the contracts that the Company bids, therefore, any restrictions or limitations in the extension of surety credit can impact the amount and type of contracts available to be bid by the Company. Recent limitations to the Company’s surety credit have contributed to the Company’s declining backlog. Surety credit limits may be improved as the Company’s financial performance improves, but there can be no assurance that surety credit will improve as there also exist insurance industry and individual insurance company dynamics that are unrelated to the Company’s performance.

            Gross Profit. Consolidated gross profit increased to $3.8 million for interim 2002 from $2.3 million for interim 2001 and consolidated gross margin, as a percent of revenue, increased to 4.9% in interim 2002 from 2.9% in interim 2001. Gross profit from construction services increased to $2.0 million in interim 2002 from $1.8 million in interim 2001 and the gross profit margin increased to 3.3% from 2.6% in the respective periods. The increase in the construction services gross profit was the result of increased profit recognition related to several projects nearing completion at June 30, 2002. Gross profit margins are affected by a variety of factors including construction delays and difficulties due to weather conditions, availability of materials, the timing of work performed by other subcontractors and the physical and geological condition of the construction site. Gross profit from construction materials increased to $1.8 million in interim 2002 from $.06 million in interim 2001 and the gross profit margin increased to 10.2% from 4.1% in the respective periods. The improved performance for the construction materials segment during interim 2002 is the result of a 22% increase in revenue from interim 2001 that results from the expansion of construction materials operations.       

            General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $2.9 million for interim 2002 from $3.5 million for interim 2001. The decrease resulted primarily from a $.3 million reduction of general and administrative expenses related to various employee incentive plans and a decrease of $.2 million in legal expenses. The reduction of legal expenses was a result of the Company classifying all the legal expenses associated with the claims and lawsuits to cost of revenue in the income statement.

            Interest Income and Expense. Interest income for interim 2002 decreased to $.05 million from $.1 million for interim 2001 resulting primarily from a decrease in invested cash reserves. Interest expense for interim 2002 decreased to $.21 million from $.22 million for interim 2001, due primarily to the lower variable interest rate on the line of credit in interim 2002 compared to the variable interest rate in interim 2001.

            Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) was $.4 million in interim 2002 as compared to a net loss of $(.5) million for interim 2001.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

            Revenue and Backlog. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 (“interim 2002”) was $42.0 million compared to $45.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 (“interim 2001”). The decrease in revenue was the result of a $4.6 million decrease in construction services, offset by a $1.1 million increase in revenue generated from construction materials sales to non-affiliates. Backlog at the beginning of this year’s second quarter decreased 25% to $63.5 million compared to $84.0 million a year ago. Second quarter revenue was impacted by the lower backlog at the beginning of the quarter. Revenue may be impacted in any one period by the backlog at the beginning of the period. Backlog decreased 50% to $47.7 million at June 30, 2002 from $95.3 million at June 30, 2001.

            Gross Profit. Consolidated gross profit decreased to $2.1 million for interim 2002 from $2.2 million for interim 2001 and consolidated gross margin, as a percent of revenue, increased to 5.0% in interim 2002 from 4.7% in interim 2001. Gross profit from construction services decreased to $1.1 million in interim 2002 from $1.6 million in interim 2001 and the gross profit margin decreased to 3.5% from 4.3% in the respective periods. The decrease in the construction services gross profit was the result of lower construction services revenue and the resulting under-allocation of equipment costs. Gross profit margins are affected by a variety of factors including construction delays and difficulties due to weather conditions, availability of materials, the timing of work performed by other subcontractors and the physical and geological condition of the construction site. Gross profit from construction materials increased to $1.0 million in interim 2002 from $.5 million in interim 2001 and the gross profit margin increased to 10.6% from 6.7% in the respective periods. The improved performance for the construction materials

segment during interim 2002 is the result of a 14% increase in revenue from interim 2001 that resulted from the expansion of construction materials operations and because last year’s results were impacted by low volume sales as the expansion efforts were still ramping up.       

            General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $1.4 million for interim 2002 from $1.7 million for interim 2001. The decrease resulted primarily from a $.2 million reduction of general and administrative expenses related to various employee incentive plans and a decrease of $.05 million in legal expenses. The reduction of legal expenses was a result of the Company classifying all the legal expenses associated with the claims and lawsuits to cost of revenue in the income statement.

            Interest Income and Expense. Interest income for interim 2002 decreased to $.03 million from $.06 million for interim 2001 resulting primarily from a decrease in invested cash reserves. Interest expense for interim 2002 decreased to $.10 million from $.14 million for interim 2001, due primarily to the lower variable interest rate on the line of credit in interim 2002 compared to the variable interest rate in interim 2001.

            Net Income. Net income was $.4 million in interim 2002 as compared to a net income of $.5 million for interim 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

            The Company’s primary need for capital has been to finance growth in its core business as a heavy construction contractor and its expansion into the construction materials business. Historically, the Company’s primary source of cash has been from operations.

            The following table sets forth for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, certain items from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

            Recently cash has been consumed by the costs incurred on contracts for which claim compensation is being sought and the start-up costs of the construction materials expansion. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement (“line of credit”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may borrow up to $7,000,000 at Chase Manhattan Bank’s prime, plus 0.25% through December 31, 2001 at which time the line of credit was to convert to a term agreement requiring monthly principal and interest payments through December 31, 2005. The line of credit is collateralized by all of the Company’s assets. Under the terms of the line of credit, the Company is required to maintain a certain level of tangible net worth. In addition, the Company is also required to maintain a ratio of total debt to tangible net worth. As of June 30, 2002, the Company was not in compliance with the tangible net worth covenant, but was in compliance with the ratio of total debt to tangible net worth. Effective March 2002, the Company amended the line of credit agreement. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the interest rate increased to Chase Manhattan Bank’s prime, plus 1.5% through January 1, 2003 at which time the line of credit converts to a term agreement requiring monthly principal and interest payments through December 31, 2006. In connection with the amendment, the Company obtained a waiver from non-compliance with the tangible net worth covenant for the period from December 31, 2001 to January 1, 2003. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had withdrawn the entire $7,000,000 from the line of credit.

            Cash used in operating activities during interim 2002 amounted to $1.4 million, primarily the result of an increase in accounts receivable of $5.0 million, an increase in claims receivable of $2.0 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $2.1 million, offset, in part, by an increase in billings in excess of costs of $2.1 million, an increase in accrued liabilities of $.2 million, a decrease in inventory of $2.4 million, a decrease in costs in excess of

billings of $.7 million, a decrease in deferred tax asset of $.2 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other of $.2 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million and net income of $.4 million.

            Cash used in operating activities during interim 2001 amounted to $.6 million, primarily the result of an increase in accounts receivable of $8.2 million, an increase in net costs in excess of billings of $1.2 million and a net loss of $.5 million, offset, in part, by an increase in accounts payable of $7.3 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other of $.3 million, a decrease in income tax receivable of $.3 million and depreciation and amortization of $1.3 million.

            Cash provided by investing activities during interim 2002 amounted to $1.2 million related primarily to the proceeds received from the sale of property and equipment in the amount of $.6 million, a decrease in pit development of $.6 million and a decrease in restricted cash of $.05 million, offset by the purchase of property and equipment of $.04 million.

            Cash used in investing activities during interim 2001 amounted to approximately $.5 million related primarily to the purchase of property and equipment of $.4 million and an increase in restricted cash of $.3 million, offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment in the amount of $.08 million and a decrease in pit development of $.05 million.

            Cash used in financing activities during interim 2002 amounted to $1.8 million related to the repayment of notes payable and capital lease obligations of $1.8 million.

            Cash provided by financing activities during interim 2001 amounted to $1.9 million related primarily to the proceeds received from the line of credit of $3.2 million, offset by the repayment of notes payable and capital lease obligations of $1.3 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

            In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board finalized FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS 141 applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. It also requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142, the Company reclassify the carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria in SFAS 141.

            SFAS 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142. SFAS 142 is required to be applied in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and to the intangible assets recognized at that date, regardless of when those assets were initially recognized. SFAS 142 requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. The Company is also required to reassess the useful lives of other intangible assets within the first interim quarter after adoption of SFAS 142.

            SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, was issued in June 2001 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS 143 requires that any legal obligation related to the retirement of long-lived assets be quantified and recorded as a liability with the associated asset retirement cost capitalized on the balance sheet in the period it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability can be made.

            SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, was issued in August 2001 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets and discontinued operations.

            The adoption of SFAS 141, SFAS 142 and SFAS 144 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

            The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 143 to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

            Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of SFAS Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of SFAS Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS 145), updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt. SFAS 145 amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to SFAS No. 4 and SFAS No. 13 are effective for fiscal years beginning and transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, respectively. It is anticipated that the financial impact of SFAS 145 will not have a material effect on the Company.

            Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), requires the Company 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. SFAS 146 replaces Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The provisions of SFAS 146 are to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

            Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the values of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company does not have foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price market risk.

            Interest Rate Risk – From time to time the Company temporarily invests its cash and restricted cash in interest-bearing securities issued by high-quality issuers. The Company’s management monitors risk exposure to monies invested in securities of any one financial institution. Due to the short time the investments are outstanding and their general liquidity, these instruments are classified as cash equivalent in the consolidated balance sheet and do not represent a material interest rate risk to the Company. The Company’s primary market risk to exposure for changes in interest rates relates to the Company’s long-term debt obligations. The Company manages its exposure to changing interest rates principally through the use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

              The Company is a party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. With the exception of those matters detailed below, the Company believes that the nature of these proceedings (which generally relate to disputes between the Company and its subcontractors, material suppliers or customers regarding payment for work performed or materials supplied) are typical for a construction firm of its size and scope, and no other pending proceedings are material to its financial condition.

            The following proceedings represent matters that may become material and have already been or may soon be referred to legal counsel for further action:

Requests for Equitable Adjustment to Construction Contracts. The Company has made claims as described below on the following contracts:

Table of Contents

            The above claims combined total $42,761,310. Of that sum, the Company’s portion of the claims total $27,599,789 and the balance of $15,161,521 pertains to other parties relating to the various contracts. Total claim amounts reported by the Company in its filings are approximate and are subject to revision as final documentation progresses. Relative to the aforementioned claims, the Company has recorded $7,928,534 in claim revenue to offset a portion of the costs incurred to-date on the claims. In the accompanying June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 balance sheets, claims receivable in the amounts of $7,928,534 and $5,968,026, respectively, has been recorded in connection with the claims filed. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company has also recorded $1,651,653 and $1,817,831, respectively, in its Underbillings for unpaid quantities, unpaid change orders, and pending change orders in advance of receipt in connection with the claims filed. Although the Company believes these amounts represent a reasonably conservative posture, any claims proceeds and payments for previously unpaid quantities, unpaid change orders and pending change orders ultimately paid to the Company less than the aggregate amount recorded on the balance sheet of $9,580,187 will result in a charge to earnings. Conversely, a payment for those same items in excess of $9,580,187 will result in an increase in income.

            The portion of accounts receivable pertaining to retention withheld on the contracts for which claims have been filed amount to $2,547,515. The degree to which the Company is successful in recouping its costs from the claims may also impact the amount of retention paid by the owner. The Company believes that all retention amounts currently being held by the owners on the contracts with outstanding claims will be paid in full in accordance with the contract terms. Therefore, no allowance has been made to reduce the receivables due from the retention on the disputed contracts.
