PART I.     FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

          In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are
necessary for a fair statement of the interim financial information.  Net
earnings per share computations are based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period plus shares issuable under
warrants and stock options that have a dilutive affect.

          Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted.  These condensed financial
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
fiscal year ended October 31, 1993.  The results of operations for the
quarterly period ended January 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of
the operating results for the full year.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1. Income Taxes
        ------------

            Effective November 1, 1993 the Company adopted the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Number 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."  The adoption of SFAS 109 changes the
Company's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method
under SFAS 96 to an asset and liability method.  This standard requires
companies to record all deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis, including tax loss carryforwards.  As permitted under
SFAS 109, prior years' financial statements have not been restated.  The
change in policy does not materially affect the Company's consolidated
financial statements, including the financial statements of prior years.

            The components of income tax expense applicable to the
continuing operations each year are as follows:

                               Three Months          Year Ended
                              Ended January 31       October 31

       Prior to October 10, 1989, the Company had available net operating
loss (NOL) carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately
$51,000,000.  As a result of a change in ownership, as defined by Section
382 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) that occurred on October 10, 1989,
the Company's NOL carryforwards for financial statement and Federal income
tax purposes became limited to approximately $750,000 per year for the
succeeding fifteen-year carryforward period, and to the aggregate amount of
$11,250,000, and NOLs attributable to recognized built-in gains became
limited to $14,000,000 by IRC Section 382, for a total of $25,250,000.  The
financial statement tax benefits arising from utilization of NOL

carryforwards will be recognized as a reduction in financial statement tax
expense and an addition to paid-in capital in the year utilized.  At
October 31, 1993, the Company had utilized $8,000,000 of the total
$25,250,000 NOL for federal income tax purposes and $8,100,000 for
financial statement purposes.

       Subsequent to October 10, 1989, the date of the change in
ownership, the Company incurred and has available additional NOL
carryforwards of approximately $3,000,000 for federal income tax and
financial statement purposes.  Generally, these NOL carryforwards are
available to offset future income without limitation over a fifteen-year
carryforward period and will be recognized as a reduction in financial
statement tax expense in the year utilized.  

       While the Company has available NOL carryforwards for Federal
income tax purposes, for state tax purposes such amounts are not
necessarily available to offset income subject to tax.  Accordingly, state
income taxes have been provided.

       The significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and
liabilities as of January 31, 1994 are as follows:

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

       The Company reports the results of its operations on a fiscal year
which ends on October 31.  This Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
should be read in conjunction with the MD&A and the footnotes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 
10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1993 which was previously filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

       The Company's revenues were $36,756,000 for the first quarter ended
January 31, 1994, an increase of $3,799,000 or 12% over the amount reported
for the same period last year.  The growth in revenue is generally
attributable to an increase in demand for the Company's services.  However,
revenues generated from the Company's three largest indefinite delivery
contracts, the Navy CLEAN, EPA ARCS 9 & 10, and EPA ARCS 6,7 & 8 contracts,
declined in 1994 to $8,055,000 from $9,678,000 in the first quarter of
1993.  The decrease in revenues from these contracts is due to a reduction
in the level of work assignments currently being executed.  

       Direct operating expenses for the quarter ended January 31, 1994,
which consist of direct labor and other direct expenses, including
subcontractor costs, increased $2,815,000, a 14% increase over the amount
reported for the same period last year.  This increase is due to increases
in subcontractor costs and direct labor costs.

       Indirect general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
January 31, 1994 increased $942,000, or 8% over the amount reported for the
same period last year as a result of an increase in business volume.

       The Company earned $721,000 before income taxes for the first
quarter ended January 31, 1994 compared to $702,000 for the same period
last year.  For Federal income tax purposes, the Company has available net
operating loss carryforwards which off-set otherwise taxable income.  For
state income tax purposes, net operating loss carryforwards are not
necessarily available to offset income subject to tax.  Accordingly, the
Company's effective income tax rate for the quarter ended January 31, 1994
was approximately 10%.

       The Company reported net income of $651,000, or $.09 per share for
the first quarter ended January 31, 1994, compared with $632,000, or $.08
per share for the same period last year. 

       The Company's backlog at January 31, 1994 was $167,000,000, as
compared to $142,000,000 at October 31, 1993.



                                    -9-                              <PAGE>




Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

       At January 31, 1994, the Company had working capital of
$29,599,000, an increase of $1,915,000 from October 31, 1993.  The Company
also has $9,800,000 in available borrowing capacity under its bank line of
credit.  It did not borrow on this line during the first quarter ended
January 31, 1994.  

       The Company believes that its existing financial resources,
together with its planned cash flow from operations and its unused bank
line of credit, will provide sufficient capital to fund its operations and
its capital needs for fiscal 1994.
