         This Form 10-Q for the  third  quarter  ended  July 31,  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 nine month periods ended July
31, 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative of the operating  results for the full
year.

      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

Third quarter ended July 31, 1997 vs. July 31, 1996.

     The Company's  revenues were  $100,196,000 for the third quarter ended July
31, 1997,  an increase of  $10,462,000  or 12% over the amount  reported for the
same period last year. The growth in revenue is  attributable  to an increase in
demand for the  Company's  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 $5,261,000 for
the quarter ended July 31, 1997, compared to $7,159,000 for the same period last
year.

     Direct  operating  expenses  for the  quarter  ended July 31,  1997,  which
consist  of direct  labor and other  direct  expenses,  including  subcontractor
costs,  increased  $5,786,000 an 11% increase  over the amount  reported for the
same period last year.  This increase is due to the  increases in  subcontractor
costs and direct labor costs associated with revenues.

     Indirect,  general and  administrative  expenses for the quarter ended July
31, 1997  increased  $3,259,000,  or 10% over the amount  reported  for the same
period last year as a result of an increase in business activity.

     The Company  earned  $5,291,000  before  income taxes for the third quarter
ended July 31, 1997  compared to $3,432,000  for the same period last year.  The
Company's  effective  income tax rate for the  quarters  ended July 31, 1997 and
1996 was approximately 40%.

      The Company  reported net income of $3,181,000,  or $.28 per share for the
third  quarter ended July 31, 1997,  compared with  $2,072,000 or $.22 per share
for the same period last year.

     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  1,383,586 warrants held by such entities at $4.34 per share.
The exercise price of these  warrants was paid by a combination  $2.0 million 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


                                        6

<PAGE>

resulted in the issuance of an additional 1,383,586 shares to the RCBA entities.
These equity transactions are reflected in the Company's financial statements.

Nine months ended July 31, 1997 vs. July 31, 1996.

     The Company's revenues were $295,496,000 for the nine months ended July 31,
1997, an increase of  $92,395,000,  or 45% 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.  Revenues  generated from the Company's  three
largest indefinite  delivery contracts (Navy CLEAN, EPA ARCS 9 & 10 and EPA ARCS
6, 7 & 8) were $21,671,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 1997,  compared to
$21,314,000 for the same period last year.

     Direct  operating  expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 1997,  which
consist of direct labor and other direct expenses including subcontractor costs,
increased  $52,335,000,  or 43% 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 $103,789,000 for
the nine months ended July 31, 1997, an increase of $33,007,000, or 47% 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  $13,014,000  before  income  taxes for the nine months
ended July 31, 1997  compared to $7,333,000  for the same period last year.  The
Company's  effective income tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 1997 and
1996 was approximately 40%.

     The Company  reported net income of $7,834,000  or $.74 per share,  for the
nine months ended July 31, 1997, compared with $4,403,000, or $.51 per share for
the same period last year.

     The  Company's  backlog at July 31, 1997 was  $470,072,000,  as compared to
$399,200,000 at October 31, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

increase of $1,692,000 from October 31, 1996.

     The Company's  current  revolving line of credit is  $20,000,000,  of which
$19,000,000 was available at July 31, 1997.

     The Company's credit agreement  requires  compliance with certain financial
and other  covenants.  The Company was in compliance with such covenants at July
31, 1997.

                                        7

     On August 18, 1997,  the Company and  Woodward-Clyde  Group,  Inc.  ("W-C")
executed an  agreement  whereby W-C will be merged with and into a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. W-C is a professional  services firm operating in the
engineering  services  industry and is  headquartered in Denver,  Colorado.  The
acquisition  price will consist of $35,000,000  in cash plus  $65,000,000 of the
Company's  common  stock,  subject to certain  adjustments.  Completion  of this
transaction is subject to approval by the Company's and W-C's  stockholders  and
other  approvals.  The  transaction  is expected to close by November  1997.  To
finance the cash portion of the proposed transaction, the Company is negotiating
with its lenders to obtain a $40,000,000  revolving  credit facility with a term
of five years and a  $110,000,000  term loan maturing six years from the closing
of the loan, which facilities would be secured by guarantees from and pledges of
the stock of the Company's major subsidiaries. The new revolving credit facility
and term loan would  replace the  Company's  current  senior  secured  revolving
credit facility and term loan.

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