Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


The unaudited financial statements included herein were prepared
from the books of the Company in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and reflect all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair
statement of the results of operations and financial position for
the statements presented.  Such financial statements generally
conform to the presentation reflected in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995, and
reflect adjustments which are solely of a normal recurring
nature.  These financial statements do not include all of the
disclosures normally made in the company's annual Form 10-KSB
filing.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Certain amounts from the 1995 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operation.

          Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 as Compared with
          the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995


Results of Operations

Contract Income - The Company experienced a 31% decrease in
contract income from $4,134,914 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to $2,812,449 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.  During the nine months ended September 30,
1996, contract income was impacted as the management team has
focused on implementation of new systems and procedures and
negotiations with potential acquisition candidates.  The
management team continues to focus on negotiated contracts as
opposed to the prior emphasis on competitively bid fixed price
contracts.  The contract income for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996, is representative of the change in focus of
the operations of the Company as 79% of the income resulted from
negotiated contracts while none of the Company's contract income
for the comparable period of 1995 resulted from negotiated
contracts.  The average size construction project that the
Company had under contract at September 30, 1996 was $839,000 as
compared to $381,000 as of September 30, 1995.

Contract costs - The efforts of the Company's new management team
have resulted in levels of contract costs that are better than
the industry average as compiled by the Construction Financial
Management Association, which reported a 1995 industry contract
cost stated as a percentage of contract income of 91.7% .  For
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company experienced
contract costs, stated as a percentage of contract income, of
88.4%.

Gross Profit - For the first nine months of 1996 the Company
realized a gross profit percentage of 11.6% which reflects the
impact of new management personnel and improved systems on the
estimating, pricing and bidding of projects.  The shift in
emphasis to negotiated contracts reduces the risk that is
attached to competitive bidding for projects.  Negotiated
contracts complement the business strategy of focusing on
renovations and remodeling projects as these type of projects can
be negotiated, subcontracted out and completed in a short time
frame.

General and Administrative Expenses - The Company's general and
administrative expenses are generally fixed in nature.  The
expenses decreased $58,095 from $815,201 in the first nine months
of 1995 to $757,106 during the comparable period of 1996.
Included in the general and administrative expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 is $139,645 of costs attributable
to the planned merger (discussed below under Accounts receivable
affiliates) and to discussions and negotiations with potential
acquisition candidates.  Of  the decrease in expenses, $80,980
was attributable to a reduction in amortization expenses related
to a marketing agreement and an advisory services contract.  The
Company recognized the impairment of its International Marketing
Agreement in 1995 and the asset was written off in its entirety
in 1995 under the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, while the advisory services contract is fully
amortized as of September 30, 1996. After adjusting for these non-
recurring types of expenses; consulting fees and amortization of
marketing and advisory contracts, the Company realized a
reduction in general and administrative expenses of $74,010 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same
period in 1995.

Income (Loss) from Operations - The Company experienced a net
operating loss of $(389,031) for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to a loss of $(380,366) for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995.


Other Income and Expense - The Company realized $43,038 in
interest income for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to
$41,731 in interest income during the same reporting period of
1995.  However, in 1995 the Company also realized a $41,527 loss
from the sale of marketable securities.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's current assets decreased 40% to $971,148 over the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Current liabilities
decreased by 39%, resulting in an increase in the current ratio
from 1.50 to 1.67 over the same period.  Working capital
decreased 42% to $312,892 over the nine month period.  The
decrease in current assets, current liabilities and working
capital resulted from  a decrease in the Company's backlog of
contracts to be performed from $4,575,777 at September 30, 1995
to $2,434,143 at September 30, 1996.  With less construction in
process, the relative accounts receivable and accounts payable
were at lower levels at September 30, 1996 as compared to the
same date in 1995.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The $897,468 reduction in accounts
receivable combined with the $429,360 loss from operations
incurred during the nine month period ending September 30, 1996,
were the primary causes of the increase from $3,742 to $136,715
in the Company's cash and cash equivalents.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities - Operating activities used
net cash of $215,887 during the nine months ended September 30,
1996 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$289,728 during the same period of 1995.  The decrease in cash
usage was attributable to the lower level of construction
activity during the comparable nine month periods ending
September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995.

Net Cash from (Used In) Investing Activities - During the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, the Company's source of cash
provided from investing activities was $357,853 in proceeds from
the sale of investment securities.  The 1995 transaction resulted
in a complete liquidation of the Company's holdings of investment
securities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the
Company acquired the building in which it maintains offices from
The Intermountain Companies, a general partnership of which Bruce
Porter and Joseph McLeod are the general partners. The
acquisition was made at appraised value of $600,000.

Net Cash From (Used in)  Financing Activities - For the nine
months ended September 30, 1995,  the major use of cash for
financing activities was advances made to Porter McLeod
Management, Inc. ("PMM") and Porter McLeod Colorado, Inc.
("PMC"), both of which are subsidiaries of Porter McLeod
Holdings, Inc. ("PMH"), the Company's major shareholder.  During
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company realized
funds from the financing of the acquisition of the building in
which it maintains offices (See above). The financing was for
100% of the purchase price of $600,000.  As the following table
shows, the Company's investment of capital resources in contract
activities decreased due to fewer contracts as well as improved
operations, billing and collection systems.

Accounts receivable affiliates - PMM, an affiliate of the
Company, owes $805,935 to the Company, representing advances made
to PMM with respect to the provision of key administrative
services including management, bidding, data processing,
accounting, marketing, and cash management services.  The
increase of $38,517 over the balance due at December 31, 1995
represents interest accrual on that portion of the accounts
receivable that is evidenced by the promissory note discussed
below.  Management believes this relationship to be economically
beneficial to the Company through reduced overall administrative
costs. PMM does not make any profit with regard to such
activities.  The Company has made such advances to protect the
economic benefits and preserve the above-mentioned business
benefits which the Company derives from its dealings with its
affiliate. PMM's obligation to repay approximately $605,000 of
such advanced funds, plus interest thereon computed at the rate
of seven percent per annum, is evidenced by a promissory note
providing for payment of said obligation in three annual
installments of $201,976, plus accrued interest, commencing on
March 31, 1995 and continuing yearly thereafter through 1997.
Payment of such indebtedness was guaranteed by PMC, PMH, and by
Messrs. Bruce Porter and Joseph McLeod, both of whom are officers
and directors of the Company, and the sole shareholders of PMH.
PMM failed to pay the first two such installments, and the
default created thereby remains in effect through March 31, 1996.
Based upon a plan which management began to formulate prior to
the time when such installment became due, the Company expects to
collect the full amount of such indebtedness through a transfer
of ownership of more than 80% of the outstanding common stock of
PMC by PMH to the Company, and a merger of PMH, PMC and PMM with
and into the Company. Management presently anticipates that the
Company's shareholders will be asked to consider and grant
approval of such transaction at the annual meeting of
stockholders which is scheduled to take place on or about
December 1996.
