     This  Form 10-Q for the  second  quarter  ended  April  30,  1997  contains
forward-looking  statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  The Company's
actual results could differ  materially from those discussed here.  Factors that
might cause such a difference  include,  but are not limited to, those discussed
elsewhere  in this  Form  10-Q and  those  incorporated  by  reference  from the
Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996
and Form S-8 Registration Statement, as amended (File No. 33-61230),  filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 effect.

     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, 1996.
The results of  operations  for the three and six month  periods ended April 30,
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

                        URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
            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, 1996 which was  previously  filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations

Second quarter ended April 30, 1997 vs. April 30, 1996.

     The Company's  revenues were $99,759,000 for the second quarter ended April
30, 1997, an increase of  $34,895,000,  or 54%, over the amount reported for the
same period last year. The growth in revenue is  attributable to the acquisition
of Greiner  Engineering,  Inc.  ("Greiner"),  the results of which are  included
commencing  April 1, 1996,  and  furthermore  to an  increase  in demand for the
Company's on-going services on infrastructure  projects.  The 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,  were $8,629,000 or the quarter
ended April 30, 1997, compared to $6,711,000 for the same period last year.

     Direct  operating  expenses  for the quarter  ended April 30,  1997,  which
consist  of direct  labor and other  direct  expenses,  including  subcontractor
costs,  increased  $19,943,000,  a 51% increase over the amount reported for the
same  period  last year.  This  increase  is due to the  addition  of the direct
operating expenses of Greiner and to increases in subcontractor costs and direct
labor costs as well.

     Indirect,  general and administrative  expenses for the quarter ended April
30, 1997 increased  $12,764,000,  or 57%, over the amount  reported for the same
period last year as a result of the Greiner  acquisition  as well as an increase
in business activity.

     The Company  earned  $4,077,000  before income taxes for the second quarter
ended April 30, 1997 compared to $2,572,000  for the same period last year.  The
Company's  effective  income tax rate for the quarters  ended April 30, 1997 and
1996 was approximately 40%.

     The Company  reported net income of $2,457,000,  or $.24 per share, for the
second  quarter  ended April 30, 1997,  compared  with  $1,522,000,  or $.18 per
share, for the same period last year.

Six months ended April 30, 1997 vs. April 30, 1996.

     The Company's revenues were $195,301,000 for the six months ended April 30,
1997, an increase of $81,934,000,  or 72%, over the amount reported for the same
period last year.  The growth in revenues  is  attributable  to all areas of the
Company's business including  infrastructure  projects involving  transportation
systems,  institutional and commercial facilities and environmental  projects as
well as the Greiner acquisition. The revenues generated from the Company's three
largest indefinite  delivery contracts (Navy CLEAN, EPA ARCS 9 & 10 and EPA ARCS
6, 7 & 8) were $16,410,000 for the six months ended April 30, 1997,  compared to
$14,155,000 for the same period last year.

     Direct  operating  expenses for the six months ended April 30, 1997,  which
consist of direct labor and other direct expenses including subcontractor costs,
increased $46,550,000,  or 67%, over the amount reported in the same period last
year.  This increase is  attributable  to the overall  increase in the Company's
business  as  compared  to the  same  period  last  year as well as the  Greiner
acquisition.  Indirect, general and administrative expenses were $68,687,000 for
the six months ended April 30, 1997,  an increase of  $29,752,000,  or 76%, over
the amount  reported  for the same period last year.  The  increase in indirect,
general and  administrative  expenses is due to an increase in business activity
in addition to the addition of the Greiner overhead.

     The Company earned  $7,723,000 before income taxes for the six months ended
April 30,  1997  compared  to  $3,903,000  for the same  period  last year.  The
Company's  effective income tax rate for the six months ended April 30, 1997 and
1996 was approximately 40%.

     The Company  reported net income of $4,653,000  or $.46 per share,  for the
six months ended April 30, 1997, compared with $2,333,000, or $.29 per share for
the same period last year.

     The Company's  backlog at April 30, 1997 was  $439,564,000,  as compared to
$399,200,000  at October  31,  1996.  This  increase is due  primarily  as to an
overall increase in contracts signed by the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At April 30,  1997,  the  Company  had working  capital of  $54,131,000,  a
decrease of $3,441,000 from October 31, 1996.

     The Company's  current  revolving line of credit is  $20,000,000,  of which
$19,855,000 was available at April 30, 1997.

     The  purchase  of  Greiner  was  partially  financed  by $50.0  million  of
collateralized  term loans payable over seven years beginning  October 1996. The
loans bear interest based on rate indexes selected by the Company, with variable
spreads  over the  selected  index  based  on loan  maturity  and the  Company's
financial  performance.  At April 30, 1997,  the interest  rate was based on the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) of 5.69%, plus spreads of 1.625% or 3.00%.

     The Company's credit agreement  requires  compliance with certain financial
and other covenants.  The Company was in compliance with such covenants at April
30, 1997.

     On February 12, 1997,  Wells Fargo Bank,  N.A. (the "Bank"),  exercised the
435,562 warrants held by the Bank at $4.34 per share,  resulting in the issuance
of an additional  435,562  shares to the Bank for $1.9 million.  On February 14,
1997,  various  partnerships  managed  by  Richard  C. Blum &  Associates,  Inc.
("RCBA")  exercised  the  1,383,586  warrants held by such entities at $4.34 per
share.  The exercise  price of these  warrants was paid by a combination of cash
and the  cancellation  of the  $3.0  million  amount  of debt  drawn  under  the
Company's  line of credit with certain RCBA entities.  The exercise  resulted in
the  issuance  of an  additional  1,383,586  shares  to the  RCBA  entities  and
additional capital of approximately $2.0 million.  These equity transactions are
reflected in the Company's financial statements.

     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  combined   operations  and  capital
expenditure needs for the foreseeable future.
