         This Form 10-Q for the first  quarter  ended  January 31, 1999 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, 1999 and
those  incorporated  by reference from the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal  year ended  October  31,  1998,  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.  Basic net
earnings per share  computations  are based upon the weighted  average number of
common shares outstanding during the period while diluted net earnings per share
also include shares issuable under 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,
1998. The results of operations for the quarterly  period ended January 31, 1999
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, 1998 which was  previously  filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Reporting Comprehensive Income

      The  Company  has  adopted  the   provisions  of  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  No. 130 ("SFAS  130"),  Recording  Comprehensive  Income,
effective January 31, 1999. SFAS 130 requires that comprehensive  income and its
components, as defined in SFAS 130, be reported in a financial statement.

      In accordance with the disclosure  requirements of SFAS 130, comprehensive
income is reported in the Company's income statement and includes net income and
translation adjustments on foreign currency.

Results of Operations

First quarter ended January 31, 1999 vs. January 31, 1998.

      The  Company's  revenues  were  $199,057,000  for the first  quarter ended
January 31, 1998, an increase of $12,901,000 or 7% over the amount  reported for
the same period last year. The growth in revenue is primarily attributable to an
increase  in  demand  for the  Company's  on-going  services  on  infrastructure
project.

      Direct  operating  expenses for the quarter ended January 31, 1999,  which
consist  of direct  labor and other  direct  expenses,  including  subcontractor
costs, increased $3,647,000, a 3% increase over the amount reported for the same
period last year. Indirect,  general and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended January 31, 1999 increased $6,840,000, or 11% over the amount reported for
the same  period  last year as a result of an  increase  in  business  activity.
Direct,  indirect and general and administrative expenses generally increased at
the same rate of revenues.

      The Company  earned  $9,972,000  before income taxes for the first quarter
ended January 31, 1999 compared to $7,569,000 for the same period last year. The
Company's  effective  income tax rate for the quarter ended January 31, 1999 was
approximately 43% compared to 45% in 1998.

      The Company  reported net income of $5,672,000,  or $.35 per share for the
first  quarter ended January 31, 1999,  compared  with  $4,169,000,  or $.27 per
share for the same period last year.

<PAGE>


      The Company's backlog at January 31, 1999 was $701,000,000, as compared to
$675,000,000 at October 31, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At January 31, 1999, the Company had working capital of  $145,160,000,  an
increase of $14,191,000 from October 31, 1998.

      The Company's current  revolving line of credit is $40,000,000,  of which,
after  issuance of letters of credit  aggregating  $3,000,000,  $37,000,000  was
available at January 31, 1999.

      The Company's credit agreement requires  compliance with certain financial
and other  covenants.  The  Company was in  compliance  with such  covenants  at
January 31, 1999.

      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 capital  expenditure needs
for the foreseeable future.

Year 2000 Compliance

      Generally. Many currently installed computer systems and software products
are coded to accept only two digit  entries in the date code  field.  These date
code fields will need to accept four digit entries to  distinguish  21st century
dates from 20th century dates.  Any programs that have  time-sensitive  software
may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in the computer shutting down or performing incorrect computations.
As a result,  before  December 31, 1999,  computer  systems and software used by
many  companies  may  need to be  upgraded  to  comply  with  such  "Year  2000"
requirements.

      Year  2000  issues  which  may  affect  the  Company  fall  into two basic
categories:

         1.  Business  Disruption  Issues.  In certain  situations,  a Year 2000
      problem could interfere with the operation of the Company's business.  For
      example,  a Year 2000 problem could  adversely  impact:  (a) the Company's
      ability to interface with third parties,  such as receiving  payments from
      clients or supplies from vendors on a timely basis, (b) the reliability of
      the Company's internal information  management systems, such as accounting
      systems,  or (c) the  physical  operation  of systems  used by the Company
      which have embedded  technology,  such as elevator and telephone  systems,
      security systems and other physical office  infrastructure.  Such business
      disruption issues could arise from internal Year 2000 problems in software
      used by the Company or from  external Year 2000  problems  encountered  by
      third parties.

                                        7

<PAGE>

            (a) Third  Party  Interfaces:  The  Company is  discussing  with its
          clients and vendors the potential impact the Year 2000 issue will have
          on their systems,  including possible delays in receiving payment from
          clients  resulting  from Year 2000  problems  affecting  such clients'
          accounting and payables systems. As the Company assesses these issues,
          it expects to develop  contingency  plans against such payment  delays
          and other Year 2000 problems which may include,  for example,  holding
          additional cash reserves.

           (b)  Internal  Information  Systems:  The  Company has  completed  an
         inventory  of its  internal  hardware  and  software  and is  currently
         performing a Year 2000  readiness  assessment  and impact  analysis for
         these  systems.  Year 2000  issues for many of the  Company's  critical
         internal  information  systems have been or are being addressed as part
         of the  previously  planned  upgrade  of  such  systems  following  the
         Company's  acquisition of W-C. For example,  the Company  believes that
         its e-mail  software is currently Year 2000  compliant and  anticipates
         that in the  near  future  its  upgraded  company-wide  accounting  and
         financial  reporting  system and its payroll and human resources system
         will be Year 2000 compliant.

              (c)  Embedded  Technology   Systems:   The  Company  currently  is
         examining  infrastructure  issues on an office-by-office  basis. As the
         Company renegotiates its office leases or enters into new leases, it is
         incorporating   language   designed  to  protect  the  Company  against
         potential business interruption  stemming from Year 2000 problems.  The
         Company  expects  to  develop  contingency  plans to  address  any such
         embedded technology issues as they are identified.

         2. Client Deliverables.  A limited number of projects undertaken by the
      Company include the specification of computer-based  components as part of
      the work  delivered  to  clients,  and an even  fewer  number of  projects
      involve the actual  development  of software and hardware.  The Company is
      implementing a plan of action related to such client  deliverables,  which
      includes  developing  an  inventory of affected  projects  and  contacting
      affected  clients and offering  assistance with their Year 2000 compliance
      issues.  However,  because the Company  generally has not  manufactured or
      designed this hardware or software, it anticipates that the responsibility
      for any Year 2000 problems  associated with these deliverables  ultimately
      will rest with the hardware or software manufacturer. The Company also has
      drafted  contract  clauses to  address  Year 2000  issues  which have been
      distributed  to all officers with  contracting  authority for insertion in
      the Company's future client contracts.

      Costs and Risks.  The Company  has not  incurred  substantial  incremental
costs in connection with its Year 2000  compliance  programs.  For example,  the
Company has been  working on  integrating  its internal  information  management
systems after the  acquisition  of W-C regardless of the Year 2000 issue and did
not  accelerate  the  replacement  of such  systems due to Year 2000  compliance
issues. The

                                        8


<PAGE>

Company  has,  however,  devoted  internal  resources  and hired  some  external
resources  to assist with the  implementation  and  monitoring  of its Year 2000
compliance programs. Such costs are not significant.

      At this time, the Company does not anticipate  that costs of its Year 2000
compliance  program or the risks to the Company  which might arise from the Year
2000  problem  are likely to be  material.  However,  because the Company has no
control over third parties' products or services, the Company cannot ensure Year
2000 compliance by third parties.  Problems encountered by the Company's clients
and  vendors  arising  from the Year 2000 issue  could  have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
In  addition,  if the  Company's  plans to  address  the Year 2000 issue are not
successfully  or  timely  implemented,  the  Company  may  need to  devote  more
resources to the process and additional costs may be incurred,  which could have
a material  adverse effect on the Company's  business,  financial  condition and
results of operations.

      The costs of the Company's Year 2000 compliance programs and the timetable
on which the Company plans to complete  such programs are based on  management's
best estimates,  and reflect assumptions  regarding the availability and cost of
personnel  trained in this  area,  the  compliance  plans of third  parties  and
similar  uncertainties.  However, due to the complexity and pervasiveness of the
Year 2000 issue,  and in particular  the  uncertainty  regarding the  compliance
programs of third parties,  no assurance can be given that these  estimates will
be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.
