         This Form 10-Q for the first  quarter  ended  January 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 for the first  quarter  ended  January 31, 1997 and
those incorporated by reference from the Company's 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 quarterly  period ended January 31, 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

First quarter ended January 31, 1997 vs. January 31, 1996.

      The  Company's  revenues  were  $95,541,000  for the first  quarter  ended
January 31, 1997, an increase of $47,038,000 or 97% 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 to some extent an increase in demand for
the  Company's  on-going  services  on  both  infrastructure  and  environmental
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 $7,781,000 for the quarter ended January 31, 1997,  compared to
$7,444,000 for the same period last year.

      Direct  operating  expenses for the quarter ended January 31, 1997,  which
consist  of direct  labor and other  direct  expenses,  including  subcontractor
costs, increased  $26,605,000,  an 88% 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
January 31, 1997 increased $16,989,000, or 103% 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  $3,646,000  before income taxes for the first quarter
ended January 31, 1997 compared to $1,332,000 for the same period last year. The
Company's  effective  income tax rate for the quarter ended January 31, 1997 was
approximately 40% compared to 39% in 1996.

      The Company  reported net income of $2,196,000,  or $.22 per share for the
first quarter ended January 31, 1997, compared with $812,000,  or $.11 per share
for the same period last year.

      The Company's backlog at January 31, 1997 was $428,118,000, as compared to
$399,200,000 at October 31, 1996. This increase is due to an overall increase in
contracts signed by the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At January 31, 1997, the Company had working  capital of  $58,041,000,  an
increase of $469,000 from October 31, 1996.

      The Company's  current  revolving  line of credit is  $20,000,000 of which
$19,400,000,  after issuance of $600,000 for letters of credit, was available at
January 31, 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 January 31, 1997, the interest rate was based on the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) of 5.50%, plus spreads of 2.625% 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
January 31, 1997.

      On February 12, 1997, after the end of the first quarter ended January 31,
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 and additional  paid-in capital of approximately $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 face 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  paid-in capital of  approximately  $5.0 million.  These
equity  transactions will be reflected in the Company's second quarter 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.
