INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


1. OVERVIEW

Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (the "Company" or "IES"), a Delaware
corporation, was founded in June 1997 to create a leading national provider of
electrical services, focusing primarily on the commercial and industrial,
residential, communications solutions and service and maintenance markets.

The accompanying unaudited condensed historical financial statements of the
Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States for interim financial information and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements and therefore the financial statements included herein
should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and related
notes thereto contained in the Company's annual report filed on Form 10-K with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Actual operating results for the three
months ended December 31, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There were no significant changes in the accounting policies of the Company
during the periods presented. For a description of these policies, refer to Note
2 of the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

The Company accounts for its marketable equity securities in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Management determines the
appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and
reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company's
marketable securities are categorized as "available for sale" and are carried at
fair value.

At December 31, 2000, the Company's investments in available for sale securities
had a fair value of $6.6 million, which approximated cost. Such investments are
included in other assets on the balance sheet.

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of taxes, will be reflected in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in stockholders' equity
until realized. For the purpose of computing realized gains and losses, cost is
identified on a specific identification basis.



6
8



SUBSIDIARY GUARANTIES

All of the Company's operating income and cash flows are generated by its wholly
owned subsidiaries, which are the subsidiary guarantors of the Company's
outstanding 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the "Senior Subordinated
Notes"). The separate financial statements of the subsidiary guarantors are not
included herein because (i) the subsidiary guarantors are all of the direct and
indirect subsidiaries of the Company; (ii) the subsidiary guarantors have fully
and unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed the Senior Subordinated
Notes; and (iii) the aggregate assets, liabilities, earnings, and equity of the
subsidiary guarantors is substantially equivalent to the assets, liabilities,
earnings and equity of the Company on a consolidated basis. As a result, the
presentation of separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning
the subsidiary guarantors is not deemed material.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and
assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates
are used in the Company's revenue recognition of construction in progress,
allowance for doubtful accounts and self insured claims liability.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101). The staff has deferred the implementation
date of SAB 101 until no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1999. SAB 101 reflects the basic principles of revenue
recognition in existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. SAB 101 does not supersede any existing authoritative literature.
Management has reviewed the staff's views presented in SAB 101 and does not
believe the adoption of SAB 101 will have a material impact on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company as we recognize revenue from
construction contracts on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position
81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction - Type and Certain Production
- - Type Contracts."

SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as
amended, is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. We adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended, on October 1, 2000. Adoption of this
statement did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company, as we have not engaged or entered into any
arrangements usually associated with derivative instruments.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Subsequent to the IPO, and through December 31, 2000, IES has acquired 70
businesses in transactions accounted for as purchases and one transaction
accounted for as a pooling of interests. The total consideration paid in these
transactions was approximately $232.9 million in cash and 15.8 million shares of
common stock. The accompanying December 31, 2000 consolidated balance sheet
included allocations of the respective purchase prices to the assets



7
9

acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of fair value
which are subject to final adjustment during the first year of ownership.

The unaudited pro forma data presented below reflect the results of operations
of IES and the businesses acquired during fiscal 2000 and 2001 assuming the
transactions were completed on October 1, 1999 (in thousands):


<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,

================= =================

================= =================
</TABLE>


The unaudited pro forma data summarized above also reflects pro forma
adjustments primarily related to: reductions in general and administrative
expenses for contractually agreed reductions in owners' compensation, estimated
goodwill amortization for the excess of consideration paid over the net assets
acquired assuming a 40-year amortization period, interest expense on borrowings
incurred to fund acquisitions, elimination of interest income, and additional
income tax expense based on the Company's effective income tax rate. The
unaudited pro forma financial data does not purport to represent what the
Company's combined results of operations would actually have been if such
transactions had in fact occurred on October 1, 1999, and are not necessarily
representative of the Company's results of operations for any future period.

3. DEBT

Credit Facility

In January 1998, the Company obtained a three-year revolving Credit Facility of
up to $65.0 million (the "Credit Facility") from a commercial bank to be used
for working capital, capital expenditures, other corporate purposes and
acquisitions. In July 1998, the Company increased the Credit Facility to $175.0
million. The Credit Facility matures July 30, 2001. Amounts borrowed under the
Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to either (a) the London
interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 1.0 percent to 2.375 percent, as determined
by the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the
Credit Facility) or (b) the higher of (i) the bank's prime rate and (ii) the
Federal funds rate plus 0.5 percent plus up to an additional 0.5 percent, as
determined by the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to EBITDA. Commitment
fees of 0.25 percent to 0.375 percent, as determined by the ratio of the
Company's total funded debt to EBITDA, will be due on any unused borrowing
capacity under the Credit Facility. The Company's existing and future
subsidiaries guarantee the repayment of all amounts due under the facility, and
the facility is secured by the capital stock of those subsidiaries and the
accounts receivable of the Company and those subsidiaries. The Credit Facility
requires the consent of the lenders for acquisitions exceeding a certain level
of cash consideration, prohibits the payment of cash dividends on the common
stock, restricts the ability of the Company to incur other indebtedness and
requires the Company to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants
including certain financial covenants. Among other restrictions, the financial
covenants include minimum net worth requirements, maintenance of a total
consolidated funded debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants at December
31, 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had outstanding indebtedness of
$125.0 million under its



8
10



Credit Facility, letters of credit outstanding under its Credit Facility of $5.3
million, $2.0 million of other borrowings and available borrowing capacity under
its Credit Facility of $44.7 million.

The Company's Credit Facility matures on July 30, 2001, and is classified as
currently payable. The Company is in negotiations with several banks to
refinance the Credit Facility. The Company believes that it will be successful
in refinancing its current Credit Facility prior to its maturity.

Senior Subordinated Notes

On January 25, 1999, the Company completed its offering of $150.0 million Senior
Subordinated Notes. The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at 9 3/8% and
mature on February 1, 2009. The Company will pay interest on the Senior
Subordinated Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1,
1999. The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured obligations and are
subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness. The Senior
Subordinated Notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of the
Company's subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the
Company is required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants
including: (i) restrictions on additional indebtedness, and (ii) restrictions on
liens, guarantees and dividends.

4. PER SHARE INFORMATION

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and
diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 1999 and 2000
(in thousands, except share information):

<TABLE>

Earnings per share:

Diluted .......................................... $ 0.07 $ 0.17
</TABLE>


For the three months ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, exercisable stock options
of 3.9 million and 5.1 million, respectfully, were excluded from the computation
of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were greater
than the average market price of the Company's common stock.

5. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company follows SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information." Certain information is disclosed, per SFAS No. 131,
based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating
decisions and assessing performance.


9
11


The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
products and services to four distinct customer groups. They are managed
separately because each business requires different operating and marketing
strategies.

During fiscal 2000, the Company aligned its operations among two complementary
core businesses: electrical contracting and communications solutions. Within the
electrical contracting business, the Company has three reportable segments:
commercial/industrial, residential and service and maintenance. The
commercial/industrial segment provides installation, renovation and upgrades and
replacement services in facilities such as office buildings, high-rise
apartments and condominiums, theaters, restaurants, hotels, hospitals and
critical-care facilities, school districts, manufacturing and processing
facilities, military installations, airports, refineries and petrochemical and
power plants. The residential segment consists of installation, replacement
and renovation services in single family and low-rise multifamily housing units.
The service and maintenance segment provides maintenance and replacement
services from service calls and routine maintenance contracts. The
communications solutions business provides installation service and maintenance,
design, engineering and support services to outside plant, network enterprise
and switch network customers. Other includes expenses associated with the
Company's home office and regional infrastructure.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance
based on income from operations of the respective business units prior to
unallocated home office expenses. Management allocates costs between segments
for selling, general and administrative expenses, goodwill amortization,
depreciation expense, capital expenditures and total assets. Those methods used
for allocation may change in the future.

Segment information for the three months ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 are as

6. 1999 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

In November 1999 the Board of Directors adopted the 1999 Incentive Compensation
Plan (the "1999 Plan"). The 1999 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors to grant employees of the
Company awards in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock or other stock based awards. The Company has up to 5.5 million shares of
Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 1999 Plan.

In December 1999 and March, 2000, the Company granted restricted stock awards of
609,306 and 400,000, respectively under its stock plans to certain of its
employees. The December 1999 awards vested in equal installments on May 31,
2000, and August 31, 2000, provided that the recipient was still employed by the
Company. The March 2000 award vests in equal installments on March 20th of each
year through 2004, provided the recipient is still employed by the Company. The
market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant for the December 1999
and March 2000 awards was $5.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, which is
being recognized as compensation expense over the related vesting periods.
During the three months ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, the Company amortized
$308,000 and $142,000, respectively, to expense in connection with these awards.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that have arisen in the
ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of
such proceedings with certainty, in the opinion of the Company, all such
proceedings are either adequately covered by insurance or, if not so covered
should not ultimately result in any liability which would have a material
adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of
the Company. The Company expenses routine legal costs related to such
proceedings as incurred.

The Company has committed to invest up to $5.0 million in EnerTech Capital
Partners II L.P. ("EnerTech"). EnerTech is a private equity firm specializing in
investment opportunities emerging from the deregulation and resulting
convergence of the energy, utility and telecommunications industries. At
December 31, 2000, the Company's investment in EnerTech was $750,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The following should be read in conjunction with the response to Part I, Item 1
of this Report. Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Item have the
same meaning given to them in Part I, Item 1. This report on Form 10-Q includes
certain statements that may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements
are based on our expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could
cause our actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the
statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the
inherent uncertainties related to estimating future results, fluctuations in
operating results because of downturns in levels of construction, incorrect
estimates used in entering into fixed price contracts, difficulty in managing
the operation and growth of existing and newly acquired businesses, the high
level of competition in the construction industry and due to seasonality. The
foregoing and other factors are discussed in our filings with the SEC including
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000.

Because of the significant effect of acquisitions on our results of operations,
our historical results of operations and period-to-period comparisons are not
indicative of future results and may not be meaningful. The integration of
acquired businesses and the addition of management personnel to support
acquisitions may positively or negatively affect our results of operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000

The following table presents selected unaudited historical financial information
for the three months ended December 31, 1999 and 2000. The historical results of
operations of IES presented below includes the results of operations of its
acquired companies beginning on their respective dates of acquisition.

Revenues from all segments increased $91.8 million, or 27%, from $335.2 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1999, to $427.0 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2000. The increase in revenues is primarily the result
of acquisitions and increased awards of construction contracts in the markets we
serve. Commercial and Industrial revenues increased $74.4 million, or 34%, from
$220.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999, to $294.5 million
for the three months ended December 31, 2000. Residential revenues increased
$7.0 million, or 13%, from $55.3 million for the three months ended December 31,
1999, to $62.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. Service and
maintenance revenues decreased $1.0 million, or 3%, from $32.8 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1999, to $31.8 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2000. Communications Solutions revenues increased $11.5
million, or 43%, from $27.0 million for the three months ended December 31,
1999, to $38.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000.

Gross profit increased $14.9 million, or 25%, from $59.6 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1999, to $74.5 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2000. Gross profit margin as a percentage of revenues decreased
approximately 1% from 18% for the three months ended December 31, 1999 to 17%
for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in gross profit
margin as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of some of our
locations experiencing project delays due to bad weather, the cancellation of
some projects and some pricing pressures during the quarter.

Commercial and Industrial gross profit increased $9.7 million, or 29%, from
$33.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999, to $43.5 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2000. Commercial and Industrial gross profit
margin as a percentage of revenues remained constant at 15%. Gross profit
margins remain at this level for many reasons. Several of our locations
experienced project delays due to unseasonably cold and rainy weather, some



13
15

projects were cancelled and we experienced some pricing pressures during the
quarter. The delays compressed a portion of our work schedules, requiring
unplanned overtime, the use of temporary labor and, in some instances, the
hiring of subcontractors.

Residential gross profit increased $2.0 million, or 16%, from $12.3 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1999, to $14.3 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2000. Residential gross profit margin as a percentage of
revenues increased to 23% for the three months ended December 31, 2000, from 22%
for the three months ended December 31, 1999. This increase in gross margins
primarily resulted from a lesser seasonal slow down during the December 2000
quarter than expected.

Service and maintenance gross profit increased $0.3 million, or 4%, from $7.2
million from the three months ended December 31, 1999, to $7.5 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2000. Service and maintenance gross profit
margin as a percentage of revenues increased to 24% for the three months ended
December 31, 2000, from 22% for the three months ended December 31, 1999. This
increase resulted from increased efficiencies in the delivery of service and
maintenance to our customers.

Communication Solutions gross profit increased $2.9 million, or 46%, from $6.3
million for the three months ended December 31, 1999, to $9.2 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2000. Communication Solutions gross profit
margin as a percentage of revenues increased slightly to 24% for the three
months ended December 31, 2000, despite experiencing some project delays and
decreased customer spending, as a result of better pricing and efficiency in the
delivery of service.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.6 million, or 15%,
from $45.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999, to $51.9
million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased approximately 2%,
from 14% for the three months ended December 31, 1999 to 12% for the three
months ended December 31, 2000. The increased selling, general and
administrative costs primarily resulted from the additional growth from
acquisitions and the need for additional infrastructure to support current
operational initiatives.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Income from operations increased $8.5 million, from $10.8 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1999, to $19.3 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2000. This increase in income from operations is primarily
attributed to the revenue growth due to increased construction activity in the
markets we serve.

NET INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE

Interest and other expense, net increased from expense of $4.6 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1999, to $6.0 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2000, primarily as a result of increased interest expense on
borrowings.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate decreased from the three months ended December 31, 1999
to the three months ended December 31, 2000. The lower effective tax rate for
the current three month period is the result of proportionately higher pretax
income in the current period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 million,
working capital of $96.3 million, borrowings of $125.0 million under our credit
facility, $5.3 million of letters of credit outstanding, and available capacity
under our credit facility of $44.7 million.

During the three months ended December 31, 2000, we used $21.2 million of net
cash in operating activities. This net cash used in operating activities is
comprised of net income of $7.0 million, increased by $7.0 million of non-cash
charges related primarily to depreciation and amortization expense and decreased
by changes in working capital. Working capital changes consisted of a $17.0
million decrease in accounts receivable as a result of the timing of
collections, offset by $60.1 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses as a result of the timing of payments and year-end accruals, including
taxes, interest, claims under our insurance policies and bonuses. Working
capital changes also included a $10.3 million increase in billings in excess of
costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, with the balance of the
change due to other working capital changes. Net cash used in investing
activities was $10.5 million, consisting primarily of $5.6 million used for
capital expenditures and $4.8 million use to purchase investments in available
for sale securities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $31.6
million, resulting primarily from borrowings, net of repayments under our credit
facility.

In January 1998, we entered into our credit facility, which provided for
borrowings of up to $65.0 million, to be used for working capital, capital
expenditures, other corporate purposes and acquisitions. In July 1998, the
amounts available for borrowings under our credit facility were increased to
$175.0 million.

The amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at an annual rate
equal to either:

o LIBOR plus 1.0% to 2.375%, as determined by the ratio of our total funded
debt to EBITDA; or

o the higher of

o the bank's prime rate, and

o the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, plus up to an additional 0.5%
as determined by the ratio of our total funded debt to EBITDA.

Commitment fees of 0.25% to 0.375%, as determined by the ratio of total funded
debt to EBITDA, are due on any unused borrowing capacity under the credit
facility. Our subsidiaries have guaranteed the repayment of all amounts due
under the facility, and the facility is secured by the capital stock of the
guarantors and the accounts receivable of IES and the guarantors. The credit
facility:

o requires the consent of the lenders for acquisitions exceeding a set level
of cash consideration;

o prohibits the payment of cash dividends on our common stock;

o restricts our ability to incur other indebtedness; and

o requires us to comply with material financial covenants.


15
17


Availability of the credit facility is subject to customary drawing conditions.

Our credit facility matures on July 30, 2001. We are currently in negotiations
with several banks to refinance the credit facility. We believe that we will be
successful in refinancing our current credit facility.

On January 25, 1999, we completed our offering of $150.0 million Series B senior
subordinated notes. The notes bear interest at 9 3/8% and will mature on
February 1, 2009. We pay interest on the notes on February 1 and August 1 of
each year, commencing August 1, 1999. The notes are unsecured senior
subordinated obligations and are subordinated to all our existing and future
senior indebtedness. The notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by
all of our subsidiaries. Under the terms of the notes, we are required to comply
with various affirmative and negative covenants including (1) restrictions on
additional indebtedness, and (2) restrictions on liens, guarantees and
dividends.

We anticipate that our cash flow from operations and proceeds from the credit
facility will provide sufficient cash to enable us to meet our working capital
needs, debt service requirements and planned capital expenditures for property
and equipment through fiscal 2001.

We intend to continue to pursue selected acquisition opportunities. We may be in
various stages of negotiation, due diligence and documentation of potential
acquisitions at any time. The timing, size or success of any acquisition effort
and the associated potential capital commitments cannot be predicted. We expect
to fund future acquisitions primarily with working capital, cash flow from
operations and borrowings, including any unborrowed portion of the credit
facility, as well as issuances of additional equity or debt. To the extent we
fund a significant portion of the consideration for future acquisitions with
cash, we may have to increase the amount available for borrowing under our
credit facility or obtain other sources of financing through the public or
private sale of debt or equity securities. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to secure this financing if and when it is needed or on terms we
consider acceptable. We expect capital expenditures for equipment and expansion
of facilities to be funded from cash flow from operations and supplemented as
necessary by borrowings under our credit facility.

All of our operating income and cash flows are generated by our wholly owned
subsidiaries, which are the subsidiary guarantors of our outstanding senior
subordinated notes. The separate financial statements of the subsidiary
guarantors are not included herein because (i) the subsidiary guarantors are all
of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company; (ii) the subsidiary
guarantors have fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed the
Senior Subordinated Notes; (iii) the aggregate assets, liabilities, earnings,
and equity of the subsidiary guarantors is substantially equivalent to the
assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of the Company on a consolidated basis;
and (iv) the presentation of separate financial statements and other disclosures
concerning the subsidiary guarantors is not deemed material.

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS

Our results of operations, particularly from residential construction, are
seasonal, depending on weather trends, with typically higher revenues generated
during the spring and summer and lower revenues during the fall and winter. The
commercial and industrial aspect of our business is less subject to seasonal
trends, as this work generally is performed inside structures protected



16
18

from the weather. Our service business is generally not affected by seasonality.
In addition, the construction industry has historically been highly cyclical.
Our volume of business may be adversely affected by declines in construction
projects resulting from adverse regional or national economic conditions.
Quarterly results may also be materially affected by gross margins in both bid
and negotiated projects, the timing of new construction projects and any
acquisitions. Accordingly, operating results for any fiscal period are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for any subsequent fiscal
period.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101). The staff has deferred the implementation
date of SAB 101 until no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1999. SAB 101 reflects the basic principles of revenue
recognition in existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. SAB 101 does not supersede any existing authoritative literature.
Management has reviewed the staff's views presented in SAB 101 and does not
believe the adoption of SAB 101 will have a material impact on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company as we recognize revenue from
construction contracts on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position
81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction - Type and Certain Production
- - Type Contracts".

SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as
amended, is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. We adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended, on October 1, 2000. Adoption of this
statement did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company, as we have not engaged or entered into any
arrangements usually associated with derivative instruments.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Management is actively involved in monitoring exposure to market risk and
continues to develop and utilize appropriate risk management techniques. We are
not exposed to any significant market risks, including commodity price risk,
foreign currency exchange risk or interest rate risks from the use of derivative
financial instruments. Further, management does not use derivative financial
instruments for trading or to speculate on changes in interest rates or
commodity prices.

As a result, our exposure to changes in interest rates results from our
short-term and long-term debt, with both fixed and floating interest rates. The
following table presents principal or notional amounts (stated in thousands) and
related interest rates by year of maturity for our debt obligations and their
indicated fair market value at December 31, 2000.
