(1) Basis of
Presentation
The
unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all
of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and
results of operations and cash flows for the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. The results of operations for the six month period
ended June 30, 2001 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2001 because the Company’s results are
primarily generated from a limited number of significant active construction
contracts. Therefore, such results can vary depending on the timing of progress
achieved and changes in estimated profitability of projects being reported.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Effective
June 30, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board finalized SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".
Statement No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001,
to be accounted for using the purchase method. With the adoption of Statement
No. 142, effective December 31, 2001, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization
over its estimated useful life. Rather, goodwill will be subject to at least an
annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. The
adoption of Statements No. 141 and No. 142 will not have a material effect on the
Company.
The
significant accounting policies followed by the Company and its subsidiaries in
preparing its consolidated financial statements are set forth in Note (1) to
such financial statements included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2000. The Company has made no significant change in these policies during 2001.
(3)
Recapitalization
On
March 29, 2000, the Company completed the sale of 9,411,765 shares of its common
stock, par value $1.00 (the “Common Stock”), for an aggregate of $40
million (the “Purchase”), to an investor group led by Tutor-Saliba
Corporation. Tutor-Saliba Corporation is owned and controlled by Ronald N.
Tutor, who serves as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and Chief
Executive Officer.
Concurrent with the closing of the Purchase and as a condition thereto, the Company exchanged 100% of its Redeemable Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) (which had a current accreted face amount of approximately $41.2 million) for an aggregate of 7,490,417 shares of common stock at an exchange price of $5.50 per share (the “Exchange” and together with the Purchase, the “Transaction”).
A Special Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Transaction after receiving a fairness opinion from an investment banking firm. A majority of outstanding common shares, including a majority of shares held by disinterested shareholders, were voted in favor of the Transaction at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on March 29, 2000.

Recapitalization (continued)
In
connection with the Transaction and as a condition thereto, the Company also
entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with its lenders that
extended the credit facility from January 2001 to January 2003 (see Note 4).
The effect of the Transaction on Stockholders’ Equity was to increase Stockholders’ Equity by approximately $76.2 million; $37.3 million from the Purchase (gross proceeds of $40.0 million less related capital expenses of $2.7 million) and $38.9 million from the Exchange (accreted value of $41.2 million less non-accreted capital expenses of $2.3 million).
(4) Long-term Debt
In
conjunction with the recapitalization of the Company as described in Note 3,
effective March 29, 2000, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with its lenders that
extended the credit facility from January 2001 to January 2003. The New Credit
Agreement provides for a $35 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a
$21 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit
Facility”). The New Credit Agreement requires that the Company repay the
Term Loan in quarterly installments through 2002 and the Revolving Credit
Facility by January 21, 2003. Commitments under the New Credit Agreement have
been reduced to $35.8 million as of June 30, 2001 as a result of scheduled Term
Loan payments and proceeds from sales of certain real estate. In addition, on
September 6, 2000, the Company completed a refinancing of its corporate
headquarters building for $7.5 million at an annual interest rate of
approximately 9%. In connection with the refinancing, approximately $.8 million
was set aside in escrow for immediate and future repairs and improvements to the
structure and the grounds. As of June 30, 2001, approximately $.5 million
remains in escrow. The loan is payable in equal monthly installments of $67,300
over a ten year period, with a balloon payment of $5.3 million due in 2010.
(5) Provision
For Income Taxes
The
(provision) credit for income taxes reflects a lower-than-normal tax rate in
both 2001 and 2000 due primarily to the realization of a portion of the federal
tax benefit not recognized in prior years due to certain accounting limitations.
In addition, the credit for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2000
reflects the reversal of foreign taxes accrued in prior years that were no
longer required.
(6) Per Share
Data
Computations
of basic and diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) amounts are
based on the weighted average number of the Company’s common shares
outstanding during the periods presented. The actual basic and diluted EPS for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the pro forma
basic and diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2000, assuming the
Transaction described in Note 3 closed on January 1, 2000, are calculated as
follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(a) For pro forma purposes it is assumed that the Series B Preferred Stock was exchanged for shares of Common Stock as of January 1, 2000. Therefore, the deduction of $1,161 for dividends declared on the Series B Preferred Stock and the deduction of $96 for accretion applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock are not required when calculating the pro forma earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
(b) The pro forma adjustment reducing interest expense by $863 is based on the assumption that the net cash proceeds of $37.3 million ($40 million less estimated related expenses of $2.7 million) received from the New Investors was used to reduce debt under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility as of January 1, 2000 based on the average effective borrowing rate of 9.25% experienced during the first three months of 2000.
(c) Adjusted to give effect to (i) the sale of 9,411,765 shares of Common Stock to the New Investors and (ii) the exchange of the Series B Preferred Stock (which had a current accreted face amount of $41,197) for 7,490,417 shares of Common Stock assuming the Transaction closed on January 1, 2000.

(d) Options to purchase 554,000 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $8.66 to $16.44 per share were
outstanding at June 30, 2001 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the
options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Common Stock. In addition,
the effect of the assumed conversion of the Company's depositary convertible exchangeable preferred
shares and stock purchase warrants into Common Stock is antidilutive.
(e) Options to purchase 2,934,000 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $4.50 to $16.44 per share were outstanding at June 30, 2000 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Common Stock. In addition, the effect of the assumed conversion of the Company's depositary convertible exchangeable preferred shares and stock purchase warrants into Common Stock is antidilutive.
(7) Dividends
(a) Common Stock - There were no cash dividends on common stock declared or paid during the periods
presented in the consolidated condensed financial statements presented herein.
(b) $21.25 Preferred Stock - As previously disclosed, in conjunction with the covenants of the Company's current and prior Credit Agreements, the Company was required to suspend the payment of quarterly dividends on its $21.25 Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") until certain financial criteria were met. Therefore, the dividends on the Preferred Stock have not been declared since 1995 (although they have been fully accrued due to the "cumulative" feature of the Preferred Stock). The aggregate amount of dividends in arrears is approximately $12,217,000 at June 30, 2001 which represents approximately $122.17 per share of Preferred Stock or approximately $12.22 per Depositary Share and is included in "Other Long-term Liabilities" in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Under the terms of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the Depositary Shares were entitled to elect two additional Directors since dividends had been deferred for more than six quarters and they did so at each of the last four Annual Meetings of Stockholders.
Although these bank restrictions were satisfied as of December 31, 2000 and may not apply in the future, the Board of Directors does not believe that it is proper or prudent to pay or commit to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock) for the foreseeable future based on the Company's other working capital requirements. See additional comments under "Financial Condition" on page 14 herein.
(c) Series B Preferred Stock - Quarterly In-kind dividends (based on an annual rate of 10%) were paid on March 15, 2000 on the Series B Preferred Stock to the stockholders of record on March 1, 2000. The dividends were paid in the form of approximately 5,004 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued at $200.00 per share for a total of $1,000,918. In addition, accrued in-kind dividends were paid on the Series B Preferred Stock for the 14-day period from

(8) Discontinued Operations
Effective June 30, 1999, management adopted a plan to withdraw completely from the real estate
development business and to wind down the operations of Perini Land and Development Company ("PL&D"), the
Company's real estate development subsidiary. Therefore, both historical and current real estate results
have been presented as a discontinued operation in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the net current assets of discontinued real estate development operations consisted primarily of real estate properties for sale. The revenues related to discontinued real estate operations are summarized below (in thousands):

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Second Quarter of 2001 with the Second Quarter of 2000
Overall revenue from construction operations increased by $169.2 million (or 67.1%), from $252.0 million in 2000 to $421.2 million in 2001. This resulted from increased construction revenues in both building and civil construction operations. Building construction revenues increased by $148.3 million (or 83.0%), from $178.6 million in 2000 to $326.9 million in 2001 due primarily to an increase in the volume of work completed at the Mohegan Sun Expansion project in the eastern United States and the start-up of three hotel/casino projects in the southwestern United States late in 2000. Civil construction revenues increased by $20.9 million (or 28.5%), from $73.4 million in 2000 to $94.3 million in 2001 due primarily to the start-up of several infrastructure projects in the metropolitan New York area late in 2000.
Overall, pretax income increased by $1.7 million (or 27.6%), from $6.0 million in 2000 to $7.7 million in 2001. This increase primarily reflects the impact of the increased revenues discussed above which was partly offset by a lower average gross margin from the Company’s building construction operations, a decrease in other income, and higher general and administrative expenses.
Income from construction operations increased by $2.0 million (or 25.6%), from $7.8 million in 2000 to $9.8 million in 2001. Despite the increase in revenues discussed above, building construction operating income decreased by $0.9 million, from $8.1 million in 2000 to $7.2 million in 2001, primarily due to a decrease in the average gross margin from 6.2% in 2000 to 3.4% in 2001 because 2000 included the favorable close out of certain projects. In addition, building construction operating income was negatively impacted by a $1.1 million (or 37.9%) increase in building construction-related general and administrative expenses primarily in connection with the pursuit of new work opportunities. Civil construction operating income increased by $2.9 million, from a negative $0.3 million in 2000 to $2.6 million in 2001, due primarily to an increase in the average gross margin from 2.2% in 2000 to 3.9% in 2001 because 2000 included downward profit revisions on certain transportation-related projects as well as the increase in revenues discussed above. In addition, civil construction operating income was positively impacted by a $0.8 decrease in civil construction-related general and administrative expenses.
The $0.3 million decrease in other income (expense), from income of $0.3 million in 2000 to zero in 2001, is primarily due to decreases in interest income on short-term investments and gains on sales of fixed assets.
The provision for income taxes reflects a lower than normal tax rate for both 2001 and 2000 due to the realization of a portion of the federal tax benefit not recognized in prior years due to certain accounting limitations.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000
Overall revenue from construction operations increased by $323.5 million (or 71.9%), from $449.9 million in 2000 to $773.4 million in 2001. This increase resulted from an increase in building construction revenues of $292.0 million (or 91.6%), from $318.9 million in 2000 to $610.9 million in 2001, due primarily to an increase in the volume of work completed at the Mohegan Sun Expansion project in the eastern United States and the start-up of three hotel/casino projects in the southwestern United States. Civil construction revenues increased by $31.5 million (or 24.0%), from $131.0 million in 2000 to $162.5 million in 2001, due primarily to the start-up of several infrastructure projects in the metropolitan New York area.

Overall, pretax income increased by $4.3 million (or 41.1%), from $10.5 million in 2000 to $14.8 million in 2001. This increase primarily reflects the increased revenues discussed above as well as lower interest expense due to the reduction in debt achieved at the end of the first quarter of 2000 as a result of the new equity transaction.
Income from construction operations increased by $3.8 million (or 25.5%), from $14.9 million in 2000 to $18.7 million in 2001. Building construction operating income increased by $2.4 million, from $13.3 million in 2000 to $15.7 million in 2001, due to the increase in revenues discussed above which was partially reduced by a decrease in average gross margin from 6.1% in 2000 to 3.8% in 2001 because 2000 included the favorable close out of certain projects. In addition, building construction operating income was negatively impacted by a $1.3 million (or 21.0%) increase in building construction-related general and administrative expenses primarily in connection with the pursuit of new work opportunities. Civil construction operating income increased by $1.4 million, from $1.6 million in 2000 to $3.0 million in 2001, due primarily to the increase in revenues discussed above which was offset by a decrease in average gross margin from 4.0% in 2000 to 3.2% in 2001, due to downward revisions of estimated profit on certain transportation-related projects, as well as a decrease in civil construction-related general and administrative expenses.
Interest expense decreased by $1.3 million, from $2.5 million in 2000 to $1.2 million in 2001, due primarily to the reduction in debt achieved at the end of the first quarter of 2000 as a result of the new equity transaction described in Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The $0.6 million decrease in other income (expense), from income of $0.6 million in 2000 to zero in 2001, is primarily due to decreases in interest income on short-term investments and gains on sales of fixed assets.
The (provision) credit for income taxes reflects a lower than normal tax rate for both 2001 and 2000 due to the realization of a portion of the federal tax benefit not recognized in prior years due to certain accounting limitations. In addition, the credit for income taxes in 2000 reflects the reversal of foreign taxes accrued in prior years that were no longer required.
Financial Condition
Working capital increased $7.4 million, from $80.5 million at the end of 2000 to $87.9 million at June 30, 2001. The current ratio increased from 1.27:1.00 to 1.29:1.00 during the same period.
During the first six months of 2001, the Company used $26.9 million in cash to fund $10.4 million used by operating activities, primarily for changes in working capital; $11.9 million for investing activities, primarily to fund construction joint ventures; and $4.6 million for financing activities, primarily to reduce debt by a net amount of $4.7 million.
Long-term debt at June 30, 2001 was $12.2 million, a decrease of $5.0 million from December 31, 2000. The long-term debt to equity ratio at June 30, 2001 was .17:1.00 compared to .28:1.00 at December 31, 2000.
Effective March 29, 2000, the Company entered into a New Credit Agreement with its lenders. The New Credit Agreement provides for a $35 million Term Loan and a $21 Revolving Credit Facility. The New Credit Agreement requires, among other things, that the Company repay the Term Loan quarterly through

2002 and the Revolving Credit Facility by January 21, 2003. Under the terms of the New Credit Agreement, the Company had $21 million available to borrow under the maximum commitment of $35.8 million at June 30, 2001. In addition, on September 6, 2000, the Company completed a refinancing of its corporate headquarters building for $7.5 million at an annual interest rate of approximately 9%. The loan is payable in monthly installments over a ten year period with a balloon payment of $5.3 million due in 2010. Management believes that cash generated from operations and existing credit lines should be adequate to meet the Company’s funding requirements for at least the next twelve months.
In conjunction with the covenants of the Company’s current and prior Credit Agreements, the Company was required to suspend the payment of quarterly dividends on its $21.25 Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) until certain financial criteria were met. The aggregate amount of dividends in arrears is approximately $12,217,000 at June 30, 2001. As of December 31, 2000, the financial criteria in the Credit Agreement which restricted the payment of dividends were satisfied, thereby making the resumption of dividends possible if the Company believed that its working capital was sufficient to warrant the resumption of payment of the regular dividend or any of the dividends in arrears on the $21.25 Preferred Stock. The Company does not currently have any plans or target date for when this action may occur. This decision is based on the following circumstances:

Part II. - Other Information
Item 1. - Legal Proceedings Preferred Shareholders Class Action Lawsuit On May 3, 2001 the Company was served with a Complaint entitled Frederick Doppelt, Arthur I. Caplan and Michael Miller v. Perini Corporation, Ronald N. Tutor, Robert Band, Christopher H. Lee, Marshall M. Criser, Arthur J. Fox, Jr., Michael R. Klein, Richard J. Boushka, Peter Arkley, Robert A. Kennedy, Jane E. Newman, Douglas J. McCarron, Nancy Hawthorne, Raymond R. Oneglia, Albert A. Dorman and John J. McHale, Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Civil Action No. 602156/01. Each plaintiff is a holder of the Company's $21.25 Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"). One plaintiff, Mr. Doppelt, is a current Director of the Company and one plaintiff, Mr. Caplan, is a former Director of the Company. Plaintiffs purport to bring the action individually and on behalf of the entire class of holders of the Preferred Stock. The Plaintiffs have asserted claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The Plaintiffs principally allege that the Company and its Directors improperly authorized the exchange of Series B Preferred Stock for Common Stock without first paying all accrued dividends on the Preferred Stock. More specifically, plaintiffs allege that the Company and its Directors violated the terms of the Preferred Stock when, in March 2000, the Company authorized the exchange of Series B Preferred Stock for Common Stock. The Plaintiffs further allege that the Company and its Directors issued a false and misleading prospectus in 1987 relating to the issuance of the Preferred Stock. The Plaintiffs seek payment of accrued dividends in the amount of approximately $11.7 million and unspecified punitive and exemplary damages. On May 23, 2001, the Company and the Defendant Directors removed the action from the Supreme Court of New York to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 26, 2001, the Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint. Through the Amended Complaint, the Plaintiffs limited their Class Action to an action for Breach of Contract against the Company and an action for Breach of Fiduciary Duty against the Defendant Directors. The Company and the Defendant Directors filed their formal Response to the Complaint on August 10, 2001. WMATA Matter On July 30, 1993, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, in a preliminary opinion, upheld termination for default on two adjacent contracts for subway construction between Mergentime- Perini, under two joint ventures, and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority ("WMATA") and found the Mergentime Corporation, Perini Corporation and the Insurance Company of North America, the surety, jointly and severally liable to WMATA for damages in the amount of $16.5 million, consisting primarily of excess reprocurement costs to complete the projects. Many issues were left partially or completely unresolved by the opinion, including substantial joint venture claims against WMATA. In July 1997, the remaining issues were ruled on by a successor judge, who awarded approximately $4.3 million to the joint venture, thereby reducing the net amount payable to approximately $12.2 million. The joint venture appealed the decision and filed a motion for a new trial. On February 16, 1999, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia vacated the April 1995Part II. - Other Information (Continued)
and July 1997 Orders and remanded the case back to the successor jugde with instructions for the successor judge to consider certain post-trial motions to the same extent an original judge would have, and to make findings and conclusions regarding the unresolved issues, giving appropriate consideration to whether or not witnesses must be recalled. During 1999, a new successor judge was appointed. On February 28, 2001, the new successor judge informed the parties that in the absence of a new trial, he could not certify adequate familiarity with the record to complete the remaining proceedings; therefore, he ordered that the joint venture's motion for a new trial be granted, with a preliminary pretrial conference scheduled for April 9, 2001. This decision means that the original July 30, 1993 Decision and Order of the U.S. District Court no longer has any force or effect and that the interim judgment in favor of WMATA for $16.5 million was set aside. The new successor Judge has scheduled the matter for trial, with evidence beginning on September 10, 2001. The Judge has allotted three (3) weeks for the completion of the trial and has held that new and/or substitute witnesses will not be allowed to testify unless a party can show the Judge a compelling reason why such addition and/or substitution is required. This will require the parties to put a substantial portion of evidence through the written record. The Joint Venture is currently preparing its case for trial.

As of June 30, 2001, the aggregate amount of dividends in arrears is approximately $12,217,000, which represents approximately $122.17 per share of Preferred Stock or approximately $12.22 per Depositary Share. While these dividends have not been declared or paid, they have been fully accrued in accordance with the "cumulative" feature of the Preferred Stock.

A summary of the voting results follows: Number of Votes ----------------------------------------------------------- Nominees for Authority Preferred Directors For Against Withheld ------------------- ------------- ---------------- ---------------------- Frederick Doppelt (elected) 410,263 - 257,365 Asher B. Edelman (elected) 413,713 - 253,915 Arthur I. Caplan 313,294 - 354,334 (d) Not applicable Item 5. - Other Information During 1995, a joint venture, Tutor-Saliba-Perini ("TSP"), in which Perini Corporation is a 40% minority partner and Tutor-Saliba Corporation of Sylmar, CA is the 60% managing partner, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("MTA") seeking to recover cost for extra work required by the MTA in connection with the construction of the Wilshire/Normandie Subway Station. In February 1999, the MTA filed a cross complaint against TSP, Tutor-Saliba Corporation, Perini Corporation, and their respective surety companies (together the "cross defendants"). Trial of the complaint and the cross complaint began on May 14, 2001, with the selection of the jury. During the trial, the judge found TSP liable to the MTA, as a sanction, because of the alleged failure of TSP to comply with certain discovery requirements. The jury was charged with the responsibility of determining damages based on the judge's order. On August 1, 2001, the jury found damages in favor of cross-complainant, the MTA, and against cross-defendants in the amount of $29.6 million. The Company has been advised that TSP intends to appeal immediately. The ultimate financial impact, if any, of this case is not yet determinable, and therefore, no impact is reflected in the Company's financial
statements.
