Figures represent amounts reimbursed for the payment of taxes upon certain fringe benefits. (3) The column specified by Item 402 (b) of Regulation S-K to report Long-Term Incentive Plan Payouts has been excluded because the Company has no long-term incentive compensation plans and has not had any such plan during any portion of fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996.

(1) The stock option exercise price for a share of Common Stock was the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. No SARs, performance units or other instruments were granted in tandem with the stock options reported herein. (2) These options were granted pursuant to the Company's 1994 Management Stock Option Plan. The options have a ten-year term and first became exercisable on January 2, 1999 and thereafter are exercisable any time or from time to time until January 2, 2008. (3) Present value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which involves an extrapolation of future price levels based solely on past performance. The present value as of the date of grant, calculated using the Black-Scholes method, is based on assumptions about future interests rates, dividend yield and stock price volatility. In calculating the present value as of the date of grant of the options reported in the table, the Company assumed an interest rate of 5.3% per annum, an annual dividend yield of zero and volatility of 33.9%. There is no assurance that these assumptions will prove to be true in the future. The actual value, if any, that may be realized by each individual will depend on the future market price of the Common Stock and cannot be forecasted accurately by application of an option-pricing model. Option Exercises and Holdings The following table sets forth certain information concerning unexercised options to purchase Common Stock of the Company held at the end of fiscal year 1998 by the named executive officers. None of the named executive officers exercised any options during fiscal year 1998. No named executive officer holds any SARs.

(1) For purposes of this column, value is calculated based on the aggregate amount of the excess of $16.25 (the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on December 31, 1998) over the relevant exercise price for a share of Common Stock with respect to the options.

If, during the term of his employment agreement, Mr. MacInnis' employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or he terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) his base salary at the highest annual rate in effect during his term of employment for the period from the date of termination through December 31, 2000 or (B) two times his base salary at its then current annual rate and (ii) the greater of (A) his Target Bonus for the calendar year in which the termination takes place multiplied by the number of full or partial calendar years remaining from the date of termination through December 31, 2000 and (B) two times his Target Bonus for the calendar year in which the termination takes place; however, in the event of a termination following a Change of Control (as defined in his employment agreement), the factor of two in clauses (i)(B) and (ii)(B) above will be increased to three. If, during the term of his employment agreement, Mr. Levy's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or he terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement) he will be entitled to a cash payment equal to the sum of (i) two times his base salary at its then current annual rate and (ii) two times his Target Bonus for the calendar year in which the termination occurs; however, in the event of a termination following a Change of Control (as defined in his employment agreement) the factor of two in clauses (i) and (ii) above will be increased to three. In addition, Messrs. MacInnis and Levy each will be entitled to receive all unpaid amounts in respect of his bonus for any calendar year ending before the date of termination and an amount equal to his Target Bonus for the calendar year in which the termination takes place multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in such calendar year that he was an employee of the Company and the denominator of which is 365.

Chesser providing for his employment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company for a period of three years expiring December 31, 2000 and with Thomas D.

Continuity Agreements Each of Messrs. MacInnis, Levy, Cammaker, Chesser and Cunningham (each referred to herein as an "Executive") is a party to a Continuity Agreement with the Company. The purpose of the Continuity Agreements are to retain the services of these Executives and to assure their continued productivity without disturbance in circumstances arising from the possibility or occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company. For purposes of the agreements "Change of Control" means, in general, the occurrence of (i) the acquisition by a person or group of persons of 25% or more of the voting securities of the Company, (ii) the approval by the Company's stockholders of a merger, business combination or sale of the Company's assets, the result of which is that less than 65% of the voting securities of the resulting corporation is owned by the holders of the Company's Common Stock prior to such transaction or (iii) the failure of the incumbent Directors to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company during any two year period. Generally, no benefits are provided under the Continuity Agreements for any type of termination before a Change of Control, for termination after a Change of Control due to death, disability, any termination for "Cause" (as that term is defined in the Continuity Agreement) or for voluntary termination (other than for (i) "Good Reason" (as that term is defined in the Continuity Agreements) or (ii) the voluntary termination takes place during the 30 day period following the first anniversary of the Change of Control). Upon a Change of Control the Continuity Agreements generally provide to the Executive a severance benefit within two years following a Change of Control equal to three times the sum of (i) his base salary at the time of the Change of Control, (ii) the higher of (x) his bonus in respect of the year prior to the Change of Control or (y) the average of his bonuses for the three years prior to the Change of Control and (iii) the value of perquisites provided in respect of the year prior to the Change of Control (a) if the Company terminates the Executive's employment without Cause or the Executive terminates his employment with Good Reason or (b) the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment during the thirty day period immediately following the first anniversary of the Change of Control. Other severance benefits include outplacement assistance and a continuance of insurance benefits for three years. The severance benefits under the Continuity Agreements are reduced by any severance benefit payable under the Executive's employment agreement. If all or any portion of the payments or benefits referred to in the preceding paragraphs under "Employment Agreements" and "Continuity Agreements" either alone or together with other payments and benefits which Messrs. MacInnis, Levy, Cammaker, Chesser or Cunningham receives or is then entitled to receive from the Company, would constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), then such officer shall be entitled to such additional payments as may be necessary to ensure that the net after tax benefit of all such payments shall be equal to his respective net after tax benefit as if no excise tax had been imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. Director Compensation Each director who is not an officer of the Company ("non-employee director") is entitled to receive an annual cash retainer of $30,000 and $1,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors he attends, other than telephonic meetings of the Board in which case each non-employee director who participates receives $500. Each non-employee director also receives $500 for each meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors attended by the director, and each non-employee director who chairs a committee of the Board of Directors receives an additional $2,000 per annum. In addition, pursuant to the 1995 Non-Employee Directors' Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, each non-employee director on June 19, 1998 was granted an option to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $19.625 per share. These options are fully exercisable as of the date of grant and have a term of ten years. Directors who also serve as officers of the Company do not receive compensation for services rendered as directors. Under the 1997 Directors' Stock Option Plan and the 1997 Directors' Stock Plan, each non-employee director, in lieu of all or part of his annual cash retainer, may elect to receive in accordance with such plans (a) options to purchase shares of Common Stock and/or (b) deferred stock units in respect of which shares of Common Stock will be issued following the non-employee director's termination of service as a director of the Company. For 1998, each of Messrs. Bershad, Brown, Fried and Toner elected to receive their annual retainer in options, and, accordingly, each were granted options to purchase 6,074 shares Common Stock at $20.00 per share. Mr. Hamm, who was first elected to the Board in June 1998, elected to receive his 1998 retainer in options and was granted 3,249 options to purchase shares of Common Stock at $19.625 per share. Mr. de Buffevent, who also was first elected to the Board in June 1998, elected to receive his 1998 retainer in options and deferred stock units and was granted options to purchase 2,166 shares of Common Stock at $19.625 per share and 330 deferred stock units entitling him to receive an equal number of shares of Common Stock following termination of his service as a director. Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation Decisions During 1998, the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Compensation Committee") was responsible for matters concerning executive compensation. Mr. Fried, a non-employee director, served as a member of the Compensation Committee during 1998 and Messrs. Bershad and de Buffevent, each of whom is a non-employee director, have served as members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors since June 1998. Mr. Malcolm Hopkins, who was a director until June 1998, served as a member of the Compensation Committee during the first six months of 1998. Until June 1998, Mr. Toner, a non-employee director, also served as a member of the Compensation Committee. During a portion of 1998, Mr. Fried was Chairman of the Board of Directors of Portec, Inc. and Mr. MacInnis was a director of Portec, Inc.; Mr. MacInnis has served as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since April 18, 1994. Compensation Committee Report The Compensation Committee reviews and determines, based on proposals made by the Chief Executive Officer, the compensation of the Company's Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel as well as the compensation of other officers and employees of the Company and each subsidiary whose annual compensation is $200,000 or more. It also reviews and approves any employment, severance or similar agreements with such individuals. The Compensation Committee is charged with fixing on an annual basis, the compensation of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, and reviewing and recommending to the Board of Directors any employment, severance or similar agreement for him. The Compensation Committee also administers the Company's 1994 Management Stock Option Plan and is charged with recommending to the Board of Directors any incentive, benefit, award or bonus plans or programs. The entire Board of Directors determines the amount, if any, of the Company's contributions pursuant to its Retirement and Savings Plan. While other compensation decisions generally are not submitted to the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors has the ultimate power and authority with respect to compensation matters. The members of the Compensation Committee reviewed salaries paid to the named executive officers for 1998, approved their employment agreements and their salary increases for 1999 and bonuses in respect of 1998 and approved the grant to them during 1998 of stock options. The Compensation Committee seeks to compensate executive officers at levels competitive with other companies in the same industry and comparable in size to the Company and to provide short-term rewards and long-term incentives for superior individual and corporate performance. In making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee periodically reviews information about the compensation paid or payable to officers of comparably sized public companies (there being no public companies of comparable size to the Company in businesses similar to those of the Company), the compensation recommendations of Mr. MacInnis, and reports from outside consultants. The Compensation Committee does not have target amounts of stock ownership for its executive officers. The key components of executive officer compensation are base salary, bonuses and stock options. The Compensation Committee attempts to combine these components in such a way as to attract, motivate and retain key executives critical to the long-term success of the Company. A discussion of the various components of the executives' compensation for 1998 follows. Base Salary. Each executive officer received a base salary and has the potential for annual salary increases largely determined by reference to the salaries of executive officers holding comparable positions in companies of comparable size. Bonuses. Each executive officer was eligible for an annual bonus based upon both his individual performance and the Company's performance. Bonuses were awarded to the named executive officers in respect of 1998 which took into account their performance and the Company's contractual obligations. As indicated above, under the terms of their respective employment agreements, Messrs. MacInnis and Levy are each entitled to a target bonus to be determined by a formula and factors agreed upon annually by the respective officer and the Compensation Committee provided that Mr. MacInnis' annual Target Bonus may not be less than $600,000 and Mr. Levy's Target Bonus may not be less than $400,000. For 1998, Mr. MacInnis received a bonus of $800,000. Mr. MacInnis' bonus was based upon achievement of several goals, including the Company attaining a predetermined level of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, reorganizing certain international operations of the Company, successful completion of certain securities offerings, and growth of the Company's facilities services business. For 1998, Mr. Levy received a bonus of $400,000. Mr. Levy's bonus was also based upon achievement of several goals, including the Company attaining a predetermined level of a return on net assets, realizing certain operating results at specifically designated subsidiaries, and growth of the Company's facilities services business. Stock Options. The Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan is intended to provide executives with the promise of long-term rewards which appreciate in value with the positive performance of the Company. As previously reported, the Compensation Committee during 1998 granted stock options to each of the named executive officers. Other Compensation. The executive officers also participate in the Retirement and Savings Plan as well as the medical, life and disability insurance plans available to all employees of the Company. Chief Executive Officer Compensation The minimum compensation of Mr. MacInnis is provided for in his employment agreement described above. The basis for Mr. MacInnis' bonus is described earlier in this Report. As part of its evaluation, the Compensation Committee also considered a report by Mr. MacInnis on his activities, the Company's performance, the accomplishment of certain goals for the Company that Mr. MacInnis set at the beginning of 1998 and the compensation earned by other chief executive officers of companies of comparable size during the previous year. Section 162(m) Section 162(m) of the Code provides that the deduction by a publicly-held corporation for compensation paid in a taxable year to the Chief Executive Officer and any of the other four most highly compensated executive officers whose compensation is required to be reported in the Summary Compensation Table is limited to $1 million per officer, subject to certain exceptions. The Compensation Committee has taken, and intends to continue to take, such actions as are necessary to reduce, if not eliminate, the Company's non-deductible compensation expense, while maintaining, to the extent possible, the flexibility which the Compensation Committee believes to be an important element of the Company's executive compensation program.

Rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission require inclusion of a graph presentation comparing cumulative five-year stockholder returns on an indexed basis with the S&P 500 Index and either a nationally recognized industry standard or an index of peer companies selected by the Company. Since the common stock of the Company outstanding prior to its reorganization was extinguished pursuant to its Plan of Reorganization and the Common Stock of the Company as reorganized has been traded only since the effective date of its Plan of Reorganization, such five-year presentation is not possible. Under such circumstances, the Company is required instead to present such information for the period since such shares were issued. The following performance graph compares the Company's total stockholder return on its Common Stock since January 6, 1995 as compared to the S&P 500 Index and a peer group index consisting of The Turner Corporation, Perini Corporation, and MYR Group, Inc. for that period. Prior to that date, prices for the Company's Common Stock were not readily available. Other than MYR Group, to the Company's knowledge, none of the other companies that may be regarded as peers in its construction and facilities services business have been publicly traded for more than two years. Accordingly, the Company selected MYR Group and two general contractors that serve similar marketplaces and are impacted by similar market conditions to the Company. The following performance graph assumes $100 was invested on January 6, 1995 in Common Stock of the Company and in each of the indices and assumes reinvestment of all dividends. Item 12.
