     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, 1995 which was previously filed with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.

     Results of Operations
     ---------------------
          The Company's revenues were $48,503,000 for the first
     quarter ended January 31, 1996, an increase of $8,196,000 or 20%
     over the amount reported for the same period last year.  The
     growth in revenue is generally attributable to an increase in
     pass through costs and award fees. 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,
     decreased in the first quarter of 1996 to $7,443,992 from
     $10,790,397 in the first quarter of 1995.  The decrease in
     revenues from these contracts is due to fewer work assignments
     currently being executed.  

          Direct operating expenses for the quarter ended January 31,
     1996, which consist of direct labor and other direct expenses,
     including subcontractor costs, increased $5,969,000, a 24%
     increase over the amount reported for the same period last year. 
     This increase is due to increases in business volume and in
     subcontractor and direct labor costs.

          Indirect general and administrative expenses for the quarter
     ended January 31, 1996 increased $1,946,000, or 13% over the
     amount reported for the same period last year as a result of an
     increase in business volume.

          The Company reported net income of $812,000, or $.11 per
     share for the first quarter ended January 31, 1996, compared to
     $800,000, or $.11 per share for the same period last year. The
     Company's effective income tax rate for the quarter ended
     January 31, 1996 was 39% compared to 23% in 1995 when the Company
     had available net operating loss carryforwards.

          The Company's backlog at January 31, 1996 was $209,511,000,
     as compared to $196,400,000 at October 31, 1995.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     -------------------------------
          At January 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of
     $36,901,000, an increase of $600,000 from October 31, 1995.

          The Company also had $14,600,000 in available borrowing
     capacity under its unsecured bank line of credit.  It did not
     borrow on this line during the first quarter ended January 31,
     1996.

          On January 10, 1996, the Company and Greiner Engineering,
     Inc. ("Greiner") executed a merger agreement whereby the Company
     will acquire all the outstanding stock of Greiner.  Greiner is a
     professional services firm operating in the engineering and
     architectural design services industry and is headquartered in
     Irving, Texas.  The acquisition price will consist of $13.50 in
     cash plus 0.298 shares of the Company's Common Stock for each of
     the approximately 4,755,000 outstanding shares of Greiner common
     stock, for an aggregate price of $64,193,000 and 1.4 million
     shares of the Company's Common Stock.  Completion of this
     transaction is subject to approval by the Greiner stockholders
     and other approvals.  The transaction is expected to close by
     April 1996.  To finance the cash portion of the proposed Greiner
     acquisition, and assist with providing for on-going activities,
     the Company executed a secured credit agreement on January 10,
     1996 with its bank which gives the Company $70,000,000 of
     borrowing capacity in the form of a $20,000,000 revolving line of
     credit and $50,000,000 in term loans and which replaces the
     Company's unsecured line of credit.

          The Company believes that its existing financial resources,
     together with its planned cash flow from operations and its
     secured line of credit, will provide sufficient capital to fund
     the acquisition of Greiner and to fund its combined operations
     and capital expenditure needs for the foreseeable future.
