**TUTOR PERINI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(1)      Basis of Presentation**

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Tutor Perini Corporation (formerly known as Perini Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Tutor Perini” or the “Company”). The Company’s interests in construction joint ventures are accounted        for using the proportionate consolidation method. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto        included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, results of operations for the three month and        ninemonth periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and cash flows for the ninemonth periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009 because, among other reasons, such results can vary        depending on the timing of progress achieved and changes in estimated profitability of projects being reported.

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosures. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of issuance of these        financial statements.

 

**(2)     ****Significant Accounting Policies**

 

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company and its subsidiaries in preparing its consolidated financial statements are set forth in Note 1 to such financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company has made no significant changes to        these policies during 2009, except as noted below.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance on business combinations. The new standard provides revised guidance on how an acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any        noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. This guidancealso provides directionfor recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Itwaseffective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and the Company applied the provisions of this guidanceto an acquisition completed in January 2009 (see Note 3(a)).                   In February 2008, the FASB issued astaff position which amends the fair value guidanceby delaying its effective date by one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Therefore, the application of the fair value        guidancerelating to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities of the Company was adopted on January 1, 2009. Theadoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued a staff positionwhich requires employers to disclose information about fair value measurements of plan assets that are similar to the disclosures about fair value measurements required by the new fair value guidance.Itwill become effective for the Company’s 2009 annual financial statements. Since the staff positiononly requires enhanced disclosures, the implementation of this guidancewill not have an impact on the        Company’s financial statements.

**(2)     ****Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

In April 2009, the FASB issued a staff position providing additional guidance on factors to consider when the volume and level of market activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and determining whether a transaction was orderly. It was effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2009. The staff position affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the        price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. It applies to all fair value measurements when appropriate. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued a staff position amendingexisting guidance for determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment of debt securities has occurred.Among other changes, the        FASB replaced the existing requirement that an entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security, and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. The Company adopted the provisions of the staff positionbeginning April 1, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued a staff position requiring fair value disclosures in both interim and annual financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of the staff position beginning April 1, 2009. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. See Note 5 for disclosure of fair value measurements. In July 2009, theFASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) was issued andbecame the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became        the only level of authoritative GAAP. All other literature not included in the codification will be considered non-authoritative.ASC is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.The implementation of the ASC did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or        disclosures.

 

**(3)     ****Merger and Acquisition**

 

***(a) Acquisition of Keating Building Corporation***

        On January 15, 2009, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Daniel J. Keating Construction Company, d/b/a Keating Building Corporation (“Keating”), a privately held construction, construction management and design/build company based in Philadelphia, PA. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of Keating’s stock for total consideration of $51.1 million, which includes amounts paid at or subsequent to        closing and additional consideration that may become payable under the terms of the agreement. Goodwill of $14.3 million was recorded in conjunction with this acquisition. The Company has not yet completed the final allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets of Keating. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company did not revise any of the assumptions, estimates or amounts used to complete its preliminary purchase price accounting. Pending        the outcome of further analysis, the preliminary purchase price allocation could change.

Keating provides building construction general contracting services primarily in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States and has a history of successfully completed projects in the corporate campus, gaming, hospitality, education, pharmaceutical and institutional building construction markets.        Keating was acquired because the Company believes Keating is a strong strategic fit enabling the Company to expand its building construction market presence in the eastern half of the United States, including the important northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, and to realize significant synergies from the acquisition by deploying Keating’s resources in the regional private non-residential and public works building markets in the eastern United States.

**(3)     ****Merger and Acquisition (continued)**

***(a) Acquisition of Keating Building Corporation******(continued)***

The acquisition was effective as of January 1, 2009 for accounting purposes and, accordingly, Keating’s financial results are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position beginning January 1, 2009. The acquisition of Keating did not have a material effect on the        Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

***(b)******Merger with Tutor-Saliba Corporation***

On September 8, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Tutor-Saliba Corporation (“Tutor-Saliba”). Tutor-Saliba was acquired because the Company believes it is a strong strategic fit, providing the Company with        enhanced opportunities for growth not available to the Company on a stand-alone basis through increased size, scale and management capabilities, complementary assets and expertise, particularly Tutor-Saliba’s expertise in civil projects, immediate access to multiple geographic regions, and increased ability to compete for larger numbers of projects particularly in the civil construction segment due to an increased bonding capacity.

The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.As of September 30, 2009, the Company finalized itsallocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible        assets of Tutor-Saliba.During 2009, the Company did not revise any of its earlier allocationassumptions, estimates or amountsused to complete its preliminary purchase price accounting.         The following unaudited pro forma summary financial information presents the operating results of the combined company assuming that the merger occurred on January 1, 2007. This unaudited pro forma summary financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative either of the operating results that actually would have occurred had the merger been completed on January 1, 2007, or of future        results.

**(4)     ****Cash and Cash Equivalents**

Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.                  Cash and cash equivalents as reported in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets consist of amounts held by the Company that are available for general corporate purposes and the Company’s proportionate share of amounts held by construction joint ventures that are available only for joint venture-related uses. Joint venture cash and cash equivalents are not restricted to specific uses within those entities; however, the terms of the joint venture agreements limit the        Company’s ability to distribute those funds and use them for corporate purposes. Cash held by construction joint ventures is distributed from time to time to the Company and to the other joint venture participants in accordance with their percentage interest after the joint venture partners determine that a cash distribution is prudent. Cash distributions received by the Company from its construction joint ventures are then available for general corporate purposes.At September30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents consisted of the following:

**(5)     ****Fair Value Measurements**

The fair value guidanceestablishes a three-tier valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification        within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. These hierarchical tiers are defined as follows: 

Level 1 – inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable through market corroboration.

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances.

|  | (3)      | At September30, 2009, the Company had $101.2 million invested in auction rate securities (“ARS”) which the Company considers as available-for-sale. The majority of the ARS held by the Company at September30, 2009, totaling $75.3                million, are in securities collateralized by student loan portfolios, which are guaranteed by the United States government. Additional amounts totaling $17.9 million are invested in securities collateralized by student loan portfolios, which are privately insured. The remainder of the securities, totaling $8.0 million, are invested in tax-exempt bonds. Substantially allof the Company’s ARS are rated AAA or Aaa. The Company estimated the fair value of its ARS utilizing an income approach valuation model which considered, among other items, the following inputs: (i) the underlying structure of each security; (ii) the present value of future principal and interest payments discounted at rates considered to reflect current market                conditions; and (iii) consideration of the probabilities of default or repurchase at par for each period. |

**(5)     ****Fair Value Measurements****(continued)**

Due to the Company’s belief that the market for both government-backed and privately insured student loans, as well as for tax exempt municipal bonds, may take in excess of twelve months to fully recover, the Company has classified its $101.2 million investment in these securities as non-current and this amount is included in        Long-term Investments in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at September 30, 2009.                   The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying value of receivables, payables, long term-debt and other amounts arising out of normal contract activities, including retentions, which may be settled beyond one year, is estimated to approximate fair value. **(6)     ****Contingencies and Commitments**

 

***(a)  Tutor-Saliba-Perini Joint Venture vs. Los Angeles MTA Matter***

 

Several months ago, the court heard an argument presented by the Tutor-Saliba-Perini joint venture (“TSP”) that the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (“LAMTA”) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (“DBE”) program was/is unconstitutional thus making LAMTA’s DBE        claims unenforceable. In March 2009, the court ruled that LAMTA could not proceed with its breach of contract claims unless it could prove the contracts are constitutional under a “strict scrutiny” standard. Thereafter, LAMTA informed the court it will drop the breach of contract claims. The court also ruled that LAMTA may proceed with a trial on its DBE false claims.          

The court granted certain TSP motions and LAMTA capitulated on others which reduced the number of false claims LAMTA may seek and limited LAMTA's claims for damages and penalties. TSP and LAMTA continue to file early dispositive motions, the result of which will shape the claims to be tried and the exposure to the        parties.

The court has set the remainder of the case to be tried beginning on January 11, 2010, with six (6) weeks allotted to complete the trial. Also, the court reiterated its desire that the parties mediate the case once more before any trial.

***(b)  Perini/Kiewit/Cashman Joint Venture-Central Artery/Tunnel Project Matter ***

To date, the current Disputes Review Board panel (the “Third DRB”) has made three awards. The first is an award to the Perini/Kiewit/Cashman joint venture (“PKC”) in the amount of $50.7 million for delays, impacts and inefficiencies. Of that total award, $41.1 million was issued as a binding arbitration        award, and the remaining $9.6 million was issued as a non-binding recommendation. The second award is in the amount of $5.8 million for delay damages. Of that amount, $3.3 million was issued as a binding arbitration award, and $2.5 million was issued as a non-binding recommendation. Massachusetts Highway Department (“MHD”) has appealed both of these awards.The Third DRB panel issued its third award as a        binding arbitration award, denying PKC’s claim for further compensable delays. The time for appealing this award has not yet run.

It is PKC’s position that the remaining claims to be decided by the DRB on a binding basis have an anticipated value of approximately $28million, plus interest. PKC also claims it is due interest on the amounts awarded by the Third DRB. MHD disputes that        the remaining claims before the DRB may be decided on a binding basis, and further disputes that any interest is due.  Hearings before the DRB are scheduled to occur throughout 2009 and into 2010.

***(c) Long Island Expressway/Cross Island Parkway Matter***

On April 20, 2009, the Company made a presentation of its position to the New York State Department of Transportation (“NYSDOT”) regarding the additional relief it seeks from the NYSDOT. Settlement negotiations between the parties are continuing.

***(d) Gaylord Hotel and Convention Center******Matter***

The Perini/Tompkins Joint Venture has closed out most subcontracts. A mediation with a major subcontractor, MTR Electrical Construction, LLC, held in July 2009, did not result in a settlement. A trial in that case is scheduled for December 2009. Resolution of the issues remaining with other subcontractors may require mediation        and/or arbitration or trial. 

***(e) UCLA Westwood Replacement Hospital Matter***

TSP has filed a lawsuit against The University of California at Los Angeles (“Owner”)on behalf of TSP and its subcontractors. TSP is seeking $36 million on behalf of itself and $171 million on behalf of its subcontractors. The Owner has filed a Cross        Complaint against TSP, the Company, Tutor-Saliba Corporation, Helix Electric Inc., and others (together “Tutor Perini Defendants”) alleging contract breach and violation of the California False Claims Act. Helix Electric, Inc. (“Helix”) was a subcontractor to TSP. The Owner is seeking $62.2 million for contract breach from the Tutor Perini Defendants; $4.3 million, trebled, for false claims from the Tutor Perini Defendants and Helix; and other relief. The        subcontractors have filed lawsuits against TSP seeking the aforementioned $171 million in what are essentially pass through claims to the Owner.                  The parties will complete necessary discovery in advance of any mediation, which has yet to be scheduled, in order to maximize their opportunity to achieve an acceptable resolution.                  All cases have been deemed related and consolidated. The court ordered limited informal discovery under “Mediation Privilege”; ordered UCLA to produce its records; granted TSP’s motion to lift the discovery stay with respect to third parties (e.g., owner’s architect, construction manager and inspectors); and will allow limited depositions prior to mediation. The Court indicated it intends to        manage the case and wants to steer it to settlement through mediation.         

Management has made an estimate of the total net anticipated recovery on this project and it is included in revenues recorded to date. To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement variesfrom this estimate, the impact        of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that time.

***(f)******Investigation by U.S. Attorney for Eastern District of New York***

The Company and the U.S. Attorney’s Office have agreed to terms for a civil settlement agreement that resolvesall outstanding allegations relating to the Company and its civil division. Under the agreement, the Company will pay $9.75 million to the U.S.        Justice Department. This amount was fully provided for in prior years and therefore did not have a significant impact on the Company’s 2009 results of operations.

 

***(g)******Fontainebleau******Matter***

 

Desert Plumbing & Heating Co. (“DPH”) is the plumbing and mechanical subcontractor on the Fontainebleau Project in Las Vegas (“Project”). The Project is a hotel/casino complexwith approximately 3,800 rooms.                   DPH is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Project owner is Fontainebleau Las Vegas, LLC (“Fontainebleau”) and an owner-controlled contracting company, Turnberry West Construction, Inc. (“Turnberry”), is the general contractor. DPH has four contracts on the Project: one with the Fontainebleau, one with Turnberry and two with other Turnberry subcontractors (collectively the “Contracts").

***(g)******Fontainebleau******Matter******(continued)***

In April 2009, Turnberry and Fontainebleau failed to honor DPH’s March payment application. DPH stopped work on May 13, 2009, pursuant to an earlierstatutory stop work notice. Other subcontractors stopped work and, by June 2009, the Project was shut        down.The overall Project isapproximately 70% complete.                   In June 2009, Fontainebleau filed for bankruptcy protection, under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code, in the Southern District of Florida. Fontainebleau is headquartered in Miami, Florida. 

DPH has filed liens in Nevada for approximately $42 million, representing its unreimbursed costs to date and lost profits, including anticipated profits; other unaffiliated subcontractors have filed liens. On June 17, 2009,DPH filed suit against Turnberry seeking        damages based on contract theories. DPH is uncertain as to Turnberry’s present financial condition.                  There have been several mediations ordered by the Bankruptcy Court between Fontainebleau and its lenders, but all mediations to date have been unsuccessful. TheCompany maintains that the mechanic lien holders have priorityover the lenders in accordance with Nevada state law. Due to the significant costs to keep the subject property secure, the        Bankruptcy Court has required Fontainebleau to seek out potential purchasers for the property.          

Management has made an estimate of the total net anticipated recovery on this project and it is included in revenues recorded to date. To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from this estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that        time.

***(******h******)******Shareholder Litigation***

***(1)******Isham / Rollman Securities Litigation Matter***

On February 9, 2009, the lead plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint. The consolidated amended complaint repeats the allegations and counts from the initial complaint, and includes additional factual allegations regarding financial difficulties with the Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino project in Las Vegas.                   Defendants filed motions to dismiss on April 17, 2009. A hearing on the motions took place on September 25, 2009. In an Opinion and Order, dated October 7, 2009, the Court dismissed the casein its entiretywithout prejudice. The court’s ruling allowed plaintiffs one opportunity to file an amended complaint; to date, plaintiffs have neither        refiled nor taken an appeal of the dismissal Order to the court of appeals.         

***(2)******Adams Matter***

On January 28, 2009, an individual named Kathy Adams, who is allegedly a holder of the Company’s common stock, sent the Company’s board of directors a letter demanding that the board commence an investigation of potential claims against certain current or former officers and directors of the Company for alleged breaches        of their fiduciary duties owed to the Company, resulting from alleged failures to disclose purported problems with the Company’s Las Vegas construction projects. The Company’s board of directors voted to form a Special Litigation Committee(“SLC”)to investigate Adams’ allegations. That action was communicated to        Adams’ counsel on April 27, 2009. The SLC has retained an independent counsel to conduct the investigation. The SLC counsel’s investigation is underway. Management does not anticipate any material adverse financial impact to result from these shareholder litigation matters.

**(7)     ****Stock-Based Compensation**

***(a) 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan***

The Company is authorized to grant up to 5,500,000 stock-based compensation awards to key executives, employees and directors of the Company under the 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan allows stock-based compensation awards to be granted in a variety of forms, including stock options, stock        appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards, deferred stock awards and dividend equivalent rights. The terms and conditions of the awards granted are established by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”), who also administers the Plan.         

During 2009, the Compensation Committee approved the award of 900,000 restricted stock unitsand 750,000 stock options. Subject to the achievement of pre-tax income performance targets established by the Compensation Committee, theawards will vest in equal annual installments (or tranches). The 750,000 restricted stock units and 750,000 stock options granted during the second quarter of 2009 will vest in five equal annual installments from 2010 through 2014. The 150,000 restricted stock units granted during the third quarter of 2009 will vest in three equal annual installments from 2010 through 2012. The Compensation Committee has established the        pre-tax performance target for the second half of fiscal year 2009, but has not yet established pre-tax performance targets for the fiscal years 2010 through 2013. Therefore, the grant dates for the lastfour tranches of the awards granted in the second quarter and the lasttwotranches of the awardsgranted in the third quarter, totaling an aggregate of 1,300,000 shares, have not been established for accounting purposes and, accordingly, the grant date fair values of these tranches cannot be determined currently. The grant dates for thesetranches will be        established in the future when the Compensation Committee establishes the respective pre-tax performance targets for each tranche. The grant date fair values of each tranche will be determined at that time and the related compensation expense for each tranche will be amortized over the separate requisite service period for each tranche.

For the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized total compensation expense of $3.9 million and $8.2 million, respectively, related to stock-based compensation awards which are included in “General and Administrative Expenses” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.                          A total of 364,278 shares of common stock are available for future grant under the Plan at September 30, 2009.   

****

 

*Restricted Stock Awards*

Restricted stock awards generally vest subject to the satisfaction of service requirements or the satisfaction of both service requirements and achievement of certain pre-established pre-tax income performance targets. Upon vesting,each award is exchanged for one        share of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2009, the Compensation Committee has approved the grant of an aggregate of 3,742,500 restricted stock awards to eligible participants. There were 975,000 restricted stock awards granted in 2009, including 700,000 restricted stock awards for which a grant date fair value cannot be determined currently because the related performance targets for future years have not yet been established by the Compensation Committee. The        grant date fair value is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

For the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized compensation expense of $3.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively, related to the restricted stock awards, which are included in “General and Administrative Expenses” in the Consolidated        Condensed Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2009, there was $22.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested awards which, absent significant forfeitures in the future, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.5 years. A summary of restricted stock awards activity under the Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is as follows:

The options vest in five equal annual installments from 2010 through 2014 upon the achievement of pre-tax income performance targets as established by the Compensation Committee. The options expire on May 28, 2019.                  For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized compensation expense of $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, related to stock options grants, which are included in “General and Administrative Expenses” in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2009, there was $8.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the outstanding options which, absent significant forfeitures in the future, is        expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.7 years.

(a)  Grant date fair value cannot be determined currently because the related performance targets for future years have not yet been established by the Compensation Committee.

The outstanding options had an intrinsic value of $3.0 millionand a weighted average remaining contractual life of 9.33years at September30, 2009. None of the options were exercisable at September30, 2009.                  The fair value of the initial tranche of the 2009 awards was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model using the following key assumptions: 

| Risk-free interest rate                  | 2.65%     |
|------------------------------------------|-----------|
| Expected life of options                 | 5.5 years |
| Expected volatility of underlying stock  | 51.11%    |
| Expected quarterly dividends (per share) | $0.00     |

The Company is authorized to grant up to 3,000,000 non-qualified stock options to key executives, employees and directors of the Company under the Special Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). Options are granted at not less than the fair market value on the date of        grant, as defined, and generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. No options were granted under the Incentive Plan during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, 36,500 options were outstanding and exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $3.97. The outstanding options had an intrinsic value of $0.6 million and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.8 years at September 30, 2009. No options were exercised during the nine        month period ended September 30, 2009. A total of 195,634 shares of common stock are available for future grant under the Incentive Plan at September 30, 2009.

 

**(8)     ****Financial Commitments**

 

On September 8, 2008, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), as Borrower, with Bank of America, as Agent. The Credit Agreement allows the Company to borrow up to $155 million on a revolving credit basis(the “Revolving Facility”), with a $50 million sublimit for letters of credit, and an additional $111.7 million under a supplementary facility (the “Supplementary Facility”) to the extent that the $155 million base facility has been fully drawn. Subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to increase the base facilitybyup to an additional

**(8)     ****Financial Commitments****(continued)**

$45 million. Any outstanding loans under the revolving credit facility mature on February 22, 2012. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that the Supplementary Facility shall be reduced upon the sale of all or any portion of the $111.7 million face value of auction rate securities held in the Company’s investment        portfolio as of September 8, 2008. Subsequent to September 8, 2008, the Company has sold auction rate securities with a face value in the amount of $4.7 million.                  On February 23, 2009, the Credit Agreement was amended, effective December 31, 2008, to modify certain financial covenants to accommodate the impact of a $224.5 million impairment charge recorded in 2008 and to extend the maturity date of the Supplementary Facility to December 31, 2010.

In July 2009, the Company obtained a loanfor $35 million from U.S. Bancorp Equipment Finance, Inc., which is collateralized by transportation equipment owned by the Company. The terms of the loaninclude equal monthly installments at an interest rate of 6.44% payable over a five-year period beginning in July 2009, with a balloon payment of $29.3 million in 2014.

In addition, the Company obtained two loansduring 2009 totaling $9.7 million from First Hawaiian Bank to finance building and land acquisition for operations in Guam. Both notes carry interest at a LIBOR-based rate and mature on February 12, 2016. 

The Company hadno outstanding borrowings under its available revolving credit facilities as of September30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Companyutilized the revolving credit facility for letters of creditin aggregate amounts of $20.4 million and $17.9 million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Accordingly, at September30, 2009, the Company had $241.6million available to borrow under the Credit Agreement, including the Supplementary Facility. 

 

**(9)     ****Earnings per Common Share**

 

Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share was similarly computed after giving consideration to the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units outstanding on the weighted average number of common        shares outstanding.         The computation of diluted earnings per common share as of September30, 2009 excludes 460,000 stock options because the awards would have an antidilutive effect. There were 495,000antidilutive stock options and 750,000 antidilutiverestricted stock units at September30, 2008.

 

**(10)     ****Dividends**

 

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

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

**Overview**

Tutor Perini Corporation, formerly known as Perini Corporation, is a leading construction services company, as ranked by *Engineering News-Record*based on revenues, offering diversified        general contracting and design-build services to private clients and public agencies throughout the world. We have provided construction services since 1894 and have established a strong reputation within our markets for executing large, complex projects on time and within budget while adhering to strict quality control measures. We offer general contracting, pre-construction planning and comprehensive project management services, including the planning and scheduling of the manpower,        equipment, materials and subcontractors required for a project. We also offer self-performed construction services including excavation, concrete forming and placement, steel erection, electrical and mechanical services, plumbing and HVAC.                  Our business is conducted through three reportable segments: building, civil, and management services. Our building segment focuses on large, complex projects in the hospitality and gaming, municipal offices, sports and entertainment, educational, transportation, corrections, healthcare, biotech, pharmaceutical and high-tech markets, and electrical, mechanical, plumbing and HVAC services as a subcontractor to the Company and other general contractors. Our civil segment specializes in        public works construction, primarily in the western, northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States, including the repair, replacement and reconstruction of the public infrastructure such as highways, bridges, mass transit systems and wastewater treatment facilities. Our management services segment, including the recently acquired Tutor-Saliba operation in Guam, provides diversified construction, design-build and maintenance services to the U.S. military and government agencies, as well as        to surety companies and multi-national corporations in the United States and overseas.

**Significant Accounting Policies**

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Our critical accounting policies are also identified and discussed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended        December 31, 2008. We have made no significant changes to these policies during the nine months of 2009, except as noted below.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance on business combinations. The new standard provides revised guidance on how an acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. This guidancealso provides directionfor recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Itwas effective for        usbeginning January 1, 2009 and we applied the provisions of this guidanceto an acquisition completed in January 2009 (see Note 3(a)of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).                   In February 2008, the FASB issued astaff position which amends the fair value guidanceby delaying its effective date by one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. We adopted the fair value guidancerelating toournon-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009. Theadoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on ourfinancial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued a staff positionwhich requires employers to disclose information about fair value measurements of plan assets that are similar to the disclosures about fair value measurements required by the new fair value guidance.Itwill becomeeffective for our 2009 annual financial statements. Since the staff positiononly requires enhanced disclosures, the implementation of this guidancewill not have an impact on our financial statements.

        In April 2009, the FASB issued a staff position providing additional guidance on factors to consider when the volume and level of market activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and determining whether a transaction was orderly.Itwas effective for us beginning April 1, 2009. The staff positionaffirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Itapplies to all fair value measurements when appropriate. The adoption of this        guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued a staff position amendingexisting guidance for determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment of debt securities has occurred.Among other changes, the        FASB replaced the existing requirement that an entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security, and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Weadopted the provisions of the staff positionbeginning April 1, 2009. The adoption of this guidancedid not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued a staff position requiringfair value disclosures in both interim and annual financial statements. Weadopted the provisions of the staff positionbeginning April 1, 2009. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of this guidancedid not have a material impact on our financial statements. See Note 5 for disclosure of fair value measurements.         

In July 2009, theFASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) was issued andbecame the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting        Principles (“GAAP”). The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP. All other literature not included in the codification will be considered non-authoritative. ASC is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The implementation of the ASC did not have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.

**Recent Developments**

*Company Name Change*

On May 28, 2009, our shareholders voted to approve changing our Company name from Perini Corporation to Tutor Perini Corporation. We believe that the name change is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders because the new name reflects the larger, more diversified merged company and allows us to maximize the        benefit of the reputations and goodwill of both Tutor-Saliba and Perini. In conjunction with the name change, our common stock now trades on the New York Stock Exchange under its new stock symbol “TPC”.

*Acquisition of Keating Building Corporation*

On January 15, 2009, we completed our acquisition of Daniel J. Keating Construction Company, d/b/a Keating Building Corporation (“Keating”), a Philadelphia-based privately held construction, construction management and design-build company. Under the terms of the transaction, we acquired 100% of Keating’s common        stock for total consideration of $51.1 million, which includes amounts paid at or subsequent to closing and additional consideration that may become payable under the terms of the agreement. Keating is licensed to provide construction services in a number of states, mostly in the mid-Atlantic and northeast regions of the United States. We believe that the acquisition of Keating is a strong strategic fit which will enable us to expand our building construction market presence in the        eastern half of the United States, including the important northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, and to realize significant synergies from the acquisition by deploying Keating’s resources in the regional private non-residential and public works building markets in the eastern United States. The results of operations for Keating are included in our financial statements for the first nine months of 2009.

*Backlog of $**4.9**Billion*

Our backlog of uncompleted construction work at September30, 2009 was approximately $4.9billion, as compared to the $6.7 billion reported at December 31, 2008. Significant additions to new work        during 2009 include a $272 million courthouse in Southern California, a $204 million runway reconstruction at JFK Airport in New York, a $240 million solar panel manufacturing plant in California, a $178 million civil infrastructure project at the World Trade Center site in New York, and a $124 million bridge replacement project in California. The overall decrease in our backlog during 2009reflects the completion of        large gaming and hospitality work under contract for the period and a reduced level of nonresidential building new work acquired.

**Results of Operations**

**Comparison of the****Third****Quarter of 2009 with the****Third****Quarter of 2008**

Revenues decreased by $243.8million to $1,168.8million, gross profit decreased by $0.1 million, income from construction operations decreased by $9.8million, and net income decreased by $7.4million (or 21.8%) to $26.7million. These revenue and profit decreases primarily reflect the completion of projects and a lower volume of new work. Basicearnings per common share        were $0.55 for the thirdquarter of 2009, compared to $1.03for the third quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.54 for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $1.01 for the third quarter of 2008. The reductions in earnings per share reflect the decrease in net income and the increase in the number of common shares outstanding as a        result of the merger with Tutor-Saliba.

Overall revenues decreased by $243.8million (or 17.3%).The decrease in revenues was due primarily to a decline in building construction revenues that waspartiallyoffset by an increase in revenuesin management services operations.The decrease in building construction revenues of $276.5 million (or 21.4%) was due primarily to the completion of large gaming and hospitality        work under contract for the period and a reduced level of nonresidential building new work acquired.Partly offsetting this decrease in building construction revenues was an increase of $157.1million in revenues as a result of the merger with Tutor-Saliba and the acquisition of Keating. Civil construction revenues decreased by $1.5 million (or 2.0%)        primarilydue to certain projects entering their final phase. This decrease was partially offset by the inclusion of revenues from Tutor-Salibafor a full quarter in 2009. Management services revenues increased by $34.2million (or 77.4%) due to an increase in volume on projects        inIraq, which arenearing completion, andincreased volume of work in Guam, fromthe addition of Tutor-Saliba.On a pro forma basis, including        Tutor-Saliba, revenues were $1,650.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Income from construction operations decreased by $9.8million (or 18.7%). Income from construction operations (excluding corporate) decreased by $3.7million (or 6.5%). Building income        fromconstructionoperations increased by $3.6 million (or 10.2%) due primarily to an improvement in gross margin in 2009 as a result of an increase in revenues from public works projects during the period. Civil construction income from operations decreased by $3.7 million (or 37.0%) due to favorable performance on a civil infrastructure job that        occurred in the third quarter of 2008 that did not occur during the same period in 2009. Also contributing to the decrease was higher general and administrative expenses due to the inclusion of a partial quarter of Tutor-Saliba in 2008 as compared to a full quarter in 2009.Management services income from operations decreased by $3.6million (or        29.8%) primarily due to favorable performance on a military base in Afghanistan that occurred in the third quarter of 2008 that did not occur during the same period in 2009.Corporate general and administrative expenses increased due to a partial quarter of Tutor-Saliba corporate general and administrative expenses in 2008 as well as acquisition costs and expenses related to the merger and integration of Tutor-Saliba,        which reduced income from construction operations by $6.1 million.On a pro forma basis, including Tutor-Saliba, income from construction operations was $46.8million for the three months ended September30, 2008. 

Other income decreased by $2.2million, from $2.7million in 2008 to $0.5million in 2009, due primarily to a $2.1million decrease in interest income fromlower average interest rates and a lower average investment balance in 2009.         Interest expense increased by $0.9million, from $1.1million in 2008 to $2.0million in 2009, due primarily to the increase in debt relating to the financing of transportation equipment and a temporary increase in        borrowing under our revolving credit facilityduring 2009.         The provision for incometaxesdecreased by $5.5 million, from $19.8 million in 2008 to $14.3 million in 2009. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 was 34.8%, as compared to 36.7%for the third        quarter of 2008.The effective income tax rate reflects an adjustment between the tax provision and the tax return for the prior year. 

**Comparison of the****Nine Months****Ended****September****30, 2009 with the****Nine Months****Ended****September****30, 2008**

Revenues increased by $12.4 million to $4,069.8million, gross profit increased by $77.4million, income from construction        operations increased by $35.1million, and net income increased by $16.8million (or 19.1%) to $104.6million in 2009. The performance in the first nine months of 2009 reflects improved profit contributions in allsegments, due in partto the addition of projects from the merger of Tutor-Saliba and acquisition of Keating.Basicearnings per common share were $2.15 for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $3.01 for the first        nine months of 2008. Dilutedearnings per common share were $2.13 for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $2.96 in the first nine months of 2008. The reductions in earnings per share reflect the increase in the number of common shares outstanding as a result of the merger with Tutor-Saliba.

Overall revenues increased by $12.4million (or 0.3%) due to increased revenuesin our civil and management services segments from the merger with Tutor-Salibaand acquisition of Keating, which more than offset the decrease in revenues from the building segment.Building construction revenues decreased by $180.3 million (or 4.8%) due to the completion of large gaming and hospitality work under contract for the period and a reduced level of nonresidential building new work acquired. Partly offsetting this decrease        in building construction revenues was an increase of $743.3million in revenues as a result of the merger with Tutor-Saliba and the acquisition of Keating. Civilconstruction revenues increased by $66.4 million (or 34.4%) due toan additional $83.0 million in revenues from the        addition of Tutor-Saliba which was partially offset by a decrease in revenues on certain civil infrastructure projects that experienced favorable performance in 2008. Management services revenues increased by $126.3 million (or 117.4%) due to an increase in volume on projects inIraq, which arenearing completion, and an increase involume of work in Guam, from the addition of Tutor-Saliba.On a pro forma basis, including Tutor-Saliba, revenues were $5,092.9million for the nine months ended September30, 2008.

Income from construction operations increased by $35.1million (or 26.2%). Income from construction operations (excluding corporate) increased by $49.9 million (or 33.4%). Building income from construction operations increased by $8.1 million (or 7.2%) primarily        due to an improvement in gross margin in 2009 as a result of an increase in revenues frompublic works projectsduring the period. Civil construction income from operations increased by $27.1 million (or 199.3%) due primarily to theincreasedrevenues discussed above. Management services income from operations increased by $14.7 million (or 62.0%) due primarily to the increased revenues discussed above. Corporate general and administrative expensesincreased due to a full nine months of Tutor-Saliba corporate general and administrative expenses in 2009 as well as acquisition costs and expenses        related to the merger and integration of Tutor-Saliba, which reduced income from construction operations by$14.8 million.On a pro forma basis, including Tutor-Saliba, income from construction operations was $173.8million for the nine months ended September30, 2008.          

Other income decreased by $4.3million, from $6.7million in 2008 to $2.4million in 200.  The decrease is due to a $6.7        million decrease in interest income as a result of lower average interest rates and a lower average investment balance, partially offset by a $2.7 million loss in 2008 due to the adjustment in fair value of our investments in auction rate securities.

        Interest expense increased by $4.3 million, from $1.8 million in 2008 to $6.1 million in 2009, due primarily todebt assumed inthe merger with Tutor-Saliba, an increase in transportation equipment financing, anda temporary increase inborrowing under our revolving credit facilityduring 2009.         Theprovision for income taxes increased by $9.7 million, from $50.9 million in 2008, to $60.6 million in 2009, due primarily to the increase in income before taxes in 2009. Theeffective income tax rate was 36.7%for the nine months ended 2008 and 2009. 

**Potential Impact of Current Economic Conditions**

Current economic and financial market conditions in the United States and overseas, including severe disruptions in the credit markets, have had an adverseaffect on our results of operations. If there is a prolonged economic recession or depression or if        government efforts to stabilize and revitalize credit markets and financial institutions are not effective, current economic and financial market conditions could continue to adversely affect our results of operations in future periods. The current instability in the financial markets has made it difficult for certain of our customers, including state and local governments, to access the credit markets to obtain financing or refinancing, as the case may be, to fund new construction        projects on satisfactory terms or at all. State and local governments also are facing significant budget shortfalls as a result of declining tax and other revenues, which may cause them to defer or cancel planned infrastructure projects. This situation hascontributed to lower revenues in 2009. The$1.8 billion decrease in our backlog during 2009 is        the result of lower volume of new work acquired as new projects have been deferred or delayed pending a turnaround in the economy, an improvement in the credit markets, and the release of funds for construction under the Federal economic stimulus package. We may encounter increased levels of deferrals and delays related to new construction projects in the future. Difficulty in obtaining adequate financing due to the unprecedented disruption in the credit markets may increase the rate at        which our customers defer, delay or cancel proposed new construction projects. Such deferrals, delays or cancellations could have an adverse impact on our future operating results.          

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Cash and Working Capital***

At September30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, cash held by us and available for general corporate purposes was $322.6 million and $342.3 million, respectively, and our proportionate share of cash held by joint ventures and available only for joint venture-related        uses was $13.1 million and $43.9 million, respectively. Cash held by construction joint ventures is distributed from time to time to us and to the other joint venture participants in accordance with our respective percentage interest after the joint venture partners determine that a cash distribution is prudent. Cash distributions received by us from our construction joint ventures are then available for general corporate purposes.         

A summary of cash flows for each of the nine monthperiods ended September30, 2009 and 2008 is set forth below:

During 2009, we used $52.1 million in cash to fund operating activities. The negative cash flow from operating activities is primarily due to the timing of receivables on certain large projects. We also used $30.0 million in cash to fund investing activities, principally for the purchase of property to be used in our building and        management services segments, and also to fund the $44.8 million acquisition of Keating. These investing cash outflows were partly offset by a cash balance of $37.9 million recorded in connection with the acquisition of Keating. We received $31.6 million in cash from financing activities, primarily from a $35.0 million note collateralized by transportation equipment owned by us and two notes totaling $9.7 million to finance the property acquisitions in Guam. The $125.0 million of cash        borrowed under the Revolving Facility in the first half of 2009 was repaid in July 2009. As a resultof the activities described above, our cash balance decreased by $50.5 million during the first nine months of 2009. 

Working capital increased by $58.6 million, from $225.0million at the end of 2008 to $283.6 million at September30, 2009. The current ratio increased from 1.13x at December 31, 2008 to        1.19xat September30, 2009.         

In November 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $100 million of our common stock over the ensuing twelve months. During 2008, we repurchased 2,003,398 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $31.8 million under the program. During 2009, we have not made any repurchases of our common stock under        the program.          

***Long-term Investments***

At September30, 2009, we had investments in auction rate securities of $101.2 million, which are reflected at fair value. These investments are considered to be “available-for-sale,” and are classified as long-term investments.        Our investment policy is to manage our assets to achieve our goals of preserving principal, maintaining adequate liquidity at all times, and maximizing returns subject to our investment guidelines. The current overall liquidity concerns in capital markets have affected our ability to liquidate many of our investments in auction rate securities. Based on our ability to access our cash equivalent        investments, our anticipated operating cash flows, and our available Revolving Facility and our SupplementaryFacility, we do not expect that the short-term lack of liquidity of our auction rate security investments will materially affect our overall liquidity position or our ability to execute our current business plan.

***Debt***

In July 2009, we obtained a note for $35.0million from U.S. Bancorp Equipment Finance, Inc., which is collateralized by certain transportation equipment that we own. The terms of the note include equal monthly installments at an interest rate of 6.44% payable        over a five-year period beginning in July 2009, with a balloon payment of $29.3 million in 2014. This loan provides us with additional liquidity in the near term.         Earlier in 2009, we obtained two notes totaling $9.7 million from First Hawaiian Bank to finance building and land acquisition for our operations in Guam. Both notes carry interest at a LIBOR-based rate and mature on February 12, 2016.          

We had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facilityor Supplementary Facilityat September 30, 2009. Accordingly, at September 30, 2009, we had $241.6 million available to borrow under        the Credit Agreement, including the Supplementary Facilityand outstanding letters of credit.

Total debtat September30, 2009 was $114.4 million, an increase of $34.1 million from December 31, 2008, due primarily to the three notes described above. As a result, our long-term debt to        equity ratio was .07x at September30, 2009 compared to .05x at December 31, 2008.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

There has been no material change in our exposure to market risk from that described inItem 7A ofour        Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the        effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and        implementing possible controls and procedures. The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is necessarily limited by the staff and other resources available to us and, although we have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to address the geographic diversity of our operations, this diversity inherently may limit the effectiveness of those controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that,        as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer        and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

**Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting**

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As part of our integration of Tutor-Saliba        and Keating, we are in the process of incorporating our controls and procedures into the operations of Tutor-Saliba and Keating.

In connection with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we will continue to review and assess the adequacy of our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their        effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

**Part II. - Other Information**

*Item 1. Legal Proceedings*

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to claims, asserted or unasserted, or named as a party to lawsuits or investigations. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with any certainty        and, in the case of more complex legal proceedings, the results are difficult to predict at all. We disclosed information about certain of our legal proceedings in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and in Part II, Item 1 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periodsended March 31, 2009and June 30, 2009. Set forth        below is an update to those disclosures. For further discussion regarding legal proceedings, see Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.          

***Isham and Rollman Securities Litigation Matters***

Two putative class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of individuals who purchased the Company’sstock between November 2, 2006 and January 17, 2008, alleging        securities fraud violations against the Companyand company executives Ronald N. Tutor, Robert Band, Michael E. Ciskey and Kenneth R. Burk (collectively, the “Isham/Rollman Individual Defendants”). The first lawsuit was filed on August 18, 2008, by an individual named William B. Isham. On September 11, 2008, an individual named Marion Rollman filed the second lawsuit.

 

In both cases, the plaintiffs claimed that the Companyand the Isham/Rollman Individual Defendants violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the 1934 Exchange Act, as well as the SEC's Rule 10b-5. The complaints alleged generally that the defendants purportedly        made material misrepresentations or omissions in press releases and SEC filings regarding the future prospects for Las Vegas construction projects. The plaintiffs claimed that the alleged misrepresentations or omissions had the effect of artificially inflating the value of the Company’sstock. Plaintiffs further alleged that stock sales by the Isham/Rollman Individual Defendants prior to disclosures related to the developer of        one of the Las Vegas projects support the claims that the defendants misrepresented or omitted material facts regarding the future prospects of these projects. Plaintiffs sought certification of the matter as a class action, and damages allegedly incurred by Companyshareholders who had purchased stock during the putative class period. On October 20, 2008, two pension funds, the Iron Workers District Council, Southern Ohio &        Vicinity Pension Trust ("Iron Workers") and Operating Engineers Construction Industry and Miscellaneous Pension Fund ("Operating Engineers") moved to consolidate the two cases and to be appointed lead plaintiff under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA). The court granted their motion on December 10, 2008. Lead plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint on February 9. The consolidated amended complaint repeated the allegations and counts from the initial        complaints, while adding additional factual allegations regarding financial difficulties with the Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino project in Las Vegas. Defendants filed their motions to dismiss on April 17, 2009, plaintiffs filed their oppositions on June 5, 2009, and defendants filed their replies on July 10, 2009. The court held a hearing regarding the dismissal motions on September 18, 2009, and on October 7, 2009, the court issued an Opinion and Order dismissing the case in its        entirety, without prejudice. The court’s ruling allowed plaintiffs one opportunity to file an amended complaint; to date, plaintiffs have neither refiled nor taken an appeal of the dismissal Order to the court of appeals.         

***Investigation by U.S. Attorney for Eastern District of New York***

In 2001, the Company received a grand jury subpoena for documents in connection with an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. The investigation concerns contracting between the Company’s civil division and disadvantaged, minority, and women-owned businesses in the New York        City area construction industry. The Company has cooperated with the U. S. Attorney’s Office in the investigation and produced documents pursuant to the subpoena in 2001 and 2002. In August 2006 and May 2007, the Company received additional grand jury subpoenas for documents in connection with the same investigation. The Company subsequently produced documents pursuant to those subpoenas, and continues to cooperate in the investigation. In December 2008, the Company was informed        by the U.S. Attorney’s Office that a determination had been made not to bring any criminal charges against the Company in

connection with the investigation, and that the matter would be best resolved by a purely civil settlement. On January 13, 2009, an indictment stemming from the investigation was unsealed in the Eastern District of New York. The indictment alleges fraud charges against two former employees of the Company – a former president        of the civil division and a former procurement manager in the civil division. Both of these employees left the Company nearly two years ago, and neither is currently associated with the Company.         

The Company and the U.S Attorney’s Office have agreed to terms for a civil settlement agreement that resolves all outstanding allegations relating to the Company and its civil division. Under the agreement, the Company will pay $9.75 million to the U.S Justice Department. This amount was fully provided for in prior years and        therefore did not have a significant impact on the Company’s 2009 results of operations.

***Fontainebleau******Matter***

Desert Plumbing & Heating Co. (“DPH”) is the plumbing and mechanical subcontractor on the Fontainebleau Project in Las Vegas (“Project”). The Project is a hotel/casino complexwith approximately 3,800 rooms.                   DPH is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Project owner is Fontainebleau Las Vegas, LLC (“Fontainebleau”) and an owner-controlled contracting company, Turnberry West Construction, Inc. (“Turnberry”), is the general contractor. DPH has four contracts on the Project: one with the Fontainebleau, one with Turnberry and two with other Turnberry subcontractors (collectively the “Contracts"). 

In April 2009, Turnberry and Fontainebleau failed to honor DPH’s March payment application. DPH stopped work on May 13, 2009, pursuant to an earlierstatutory stop work notice. Other subcontractors stopped work and, by June 2009, the Project was shut        down.The overall Project isapproximately 70% complete.                   In June 2009, Fontainebleau filed for bankruptcy protection, under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code, in the Southern District of Florida. Fontainebleau is headquartered in Miami, Florida. 

DPH has filed liens in Nevada for approximately $42 million, representing its unreimbursed costs to date and lost profits, including anticipated profits; other unaffiliated subcontractors have filed liens. On June 17, 2009,DPH filed suit against Turnberry seeking        damages based on contract theories. DPH is uncertain as to Turnberry’s present financial condition.                  There have been several mediations ordered by the Bankruptcy Court between Fontainebleau and its lenders, but all mediations to date have been unsuccessful. TheCompany maintains that the mechanic lien holders have priorityover the lenders in accordance with Nevada state law. Due to the significant costs to keep the subject property secure, the        Bankruptcy Court has required Fontainebleau to seek out potential purchasers for the property.          

Management has made an estimate of the total net anticipated recovery on this project and it is included in revenues recorded to date. To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from this estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that        time.
