                                     PART I

Item 1.    BUSINESS

TRC Companies, Inc. (the Company) together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
provides a full range of environmental engineering and consulting services and
specialized pollution control measurement instrumentation to industry and
government.

Significant recent events in the development of the Company's business include:
(i) the acquisition in March 1994 of the business assets, liabilities and
obligations of Environmental Solutions, Inc. of Irvine, California, a firm
providing a broad range of solid and hazardous waste engineering and consulting
services, specializing in remedial design and construction management; and (ii)
the acquisition in May 1994 of the capital stock of Mariah Associates, Inc.
(Mariah) of Laramie, Wyoming, a full-service environmental consulting firm
serving primarily the western United States with a focus on cultural resource
consulting and environmental impact statements.  The acquisition of
Environmental Solutions, Inc. was treated as a purchase for accounting purposes
and Mariah was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.  Accordingly, the
Company's consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the
financial results of Mariah.

Environmental Engineering and Consulting Services

Environmental engineering and consulting services are provided by the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiaries, TRC Environmental Corporation, TRC Environmental
Solutions, Inc., TRC Mariah Associates, Inc. and TRC Process Engineering Inc.,
through a network of offices across the United States.

TRC Environmental Corporation is an international environmental services company
with expertise in all areas of air quality and hazardous waste management,
regulatory compliance and permitting, environmental consulting and pollution
control engineering.  The company's air quality services incorporate all
technical aspects of facility permitting, control engineering, regulatory
compliance and air quality analyses and measurement.  Hazardous waste management
services include all aspects of site evaluation, permitting, and soil and
groundwater remediation engineering.

The company also provides risk management services that assess toxicological,
exposure and clinical data to protect human health and determine risk-based
controls.  Additionally, the company's industrial hygienists and asbestos
engineers address indoor environment problems and assist in managing workplace
risks.  The company also develops, organizes and assesses major databases used
by government agencies and industry to make strategic decisions.  A subsidiary
of the company provides weather modification services to water districts,
municipalities, irrigation companies and other organizations that utilize water.

TRC Environmental Solutions, Inc. provides a broad range of solid and hazardous
waste engineering and management services, specializing in all aspects of
planning, design, permitting and construction for all classes of landfills and
solid waste disposal facilities, including RI/FS investigations, risk
assessments, remedial designs and construction management of on-site remediation
facilities.

TRC Mariah Associates, Inc. is a full-service environmental services company
with a unique focus on cultural and natural resource management, permitting and
environmental impact statements.

TRC Process Engineering Inc. is a multi-disciplinary engineering firm assisting
industrial, utility and public sector clients to maximize the performance and
minimize the cost of manufacturing, energy generation and waste treatment
processes through pollution prevention and engineered solutions.  A division of
the company also provides site/civil and transportation/traffic engineering
services that include the analyses of traffic conditions and development of
highway improvements.

Specialized Air Pollution Measurement Instruments

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, MIE, Inc. (MIE), develops, manufactures
and markets a line of specialized pollution control measurement instruments that
provide real-time measurement of airborne dust, smoke, fumes and asbestos
fibers.  These instruments have diverse applications including worker's health
protection, asbestos remediation monitoring, energy conservation and hazardous
waste site dust monitoring.

Clients

The Company's clients include companies in the chemical, automotive, petroleum,
construction, transportation, mining, waste management and other industries,
financial institutions, public utilities, and state and federal government
agencies.  Over 80% of the Company's annual revenue in fiscal 1996 was derived
from repeat business with existing clients.

For fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, the federal government (principally the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency) accounted for 17%, 15% and 31%, respectively,
of the Company's net service revenue.  No other client represented 10% or more
of the Company's net service revenue in any of those years.

Marketing and Sales

The Company believes that it attracts clients primarily on the basis of its
reputation for quality work and the ability to respond quickly to client needs.
The marketing activities for the Company's service businesses are conducted by
senior professional staff members and executives who regularly meet with
existing and potential clients to solicit new business.  These activities are
typically conducted through the Company's network of offices.  In addition,
corporate and subsidiary marketing departments coordinate representation at
trade shows, prepare sales literature and develop and place advertising.  MIE
sells its instruments through its direct sales force and a network of
manufacturer's representatives in the United States, Europe and Asia.

Backlog

At June 30, 1996, the Company's net contract backlog (excluding the estimated
costs of pass-through charges) was approximately $70 million, as compared to
approximately $75 million at June 30, 1995.  The Company expects that
approximately 70% of this backlog will be completed in fiscal 1997.  In addition
to this net contract backlog, the Company holds open order contracts from
various clients and government agencies.  As work under these contracts is
authorized and funded, the Company includes this portion in its net contract
backlog.  There can be no assurance that any work included in backlog will not
be canceled or delayed.

Employees

As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a total of 665 full and part-time
employees.  Approximately 80% of these employees are engaged primarily in
performing environmental engineering and consulting, and process and civil
engineering services for clients.  Many of these employees have master's degrees
or their equivalent and a number have Ph.D. degrees.  The Company's professional
staff includes registered professional engineers, civil, environmental and
chemical engineers, meteorologists, geologists, hydrologists, hydrogeologists,
toxicologists, chemists, industrial hygienists, archaeologists, biologists and
others with degrees and experience that enable them to provide a full range of
services.  The balance of the Company's employees are engaged primarily in
executive, administrative and support activities.  None of the Company's
employees are represented by a union.  The Company considers its relations with
its employees to be very good.

                                       3

Competition

The markets for the Company's services are highly competitive.  There are
numerous professional architectural, engineering and consulting firms and other
organizations which offer many of the services offered by the Company.  The
Company is subject to direct competition with respect to the services it
provides from many other firms, ranging from small local firms to large national
firms having substantially greater financial, management and marketing resources
than the Company. Competitive factors include reputation, performance, price,
geographic location and availability of technically skilled personnel.

MIE's products have few direct competitors; however, MIE often competes with
firms which offer alternative technologies.  Such competition is based on price,
performance and regulatory requirements.

Regulatory Matters

The Company's businesses are subject to various rules and regulations at the
federal, state and local government levels.  The Company believes that it is in
compliance with these rules and regulations.  On occasion, the Company has not
bid on projects in certain jurisdictions due to licensing requirements.  In
addition, some projects are not bid due to bonding or insurance requirements
which the Company elects not to meet.  While the Company has not experienced any
significant limitations on its business as a result of regulatory, bonding or
insurance requirements, there can be no assurance that future changes in law or
changes in industry practice will not impose conditions to bidding on certain
projects which the Company may not be able to satisfy.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

The Company has a number of patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights and
licenses, none of which are considered material to the Company's business as a
whole.

Research and Development

During the past year the Company continued work both on programs relating to its
hazardous and toxic waste services and on development of new products for
monitoring airborne contaminants.  Research and development costs are charged to
operations as incurred and amounted to approximately $283,000 in fiscal 1996, as
compared to approximately $204,000 in fiscal 1995 and $338,000 in fiscal 1994.

Environmental and Other Considerations

The Company does not believe that its own compliance with federal, state and
local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment will
have any material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position.  The Company's business is not seasonal to any significant extent.

Item 2.  Properties

The Company provides its services through a network of twenty offices located
nationwide.  The Company does not own any real estate and leases approximately
245,000 square feet of office and laboratory space to support these operations.
The Company owns substantially all of the analytical, chemical monitoring,
emissions testing and other specialized equipment required to render its various
services.  In addition, the Company leases certain computers and office
equipment.  The Company also leases approximately 15,000 square feet of space in
Billerica, Massachusetts for MIE's manufacturing operation.

             EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN FOR FISCAL 1997
                           AS ADOPTED JUNE 19, 1996



          At the meeting of the Company's Board of Directors held June 19, 1996,
the following amendment to the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan regarding
the Incentive Pool for fiscal 1997 was adopted:

          The amount of the fiscal 1997 Incentive Pool shall depend on the
extent to which the Company's consolidated operating income for fiscal 1996
exceeds 60% of targeted operating income, as set forth in the Company's fiscal
1997 business plan.  The Incentive Pool shall equal the sum of (a) up to
$250,000 if actual operating income exceeds 60%, but is not greater than 100% of
targeted operating income, (b) 30% of the amount by which actual operating
income exceeds 100% of targeted operating income, but not by more than 125% of
targeted operating income, and 12% of the amount by which actual operating
income exceeds 125% of targeted operating income.  To the extent that an
Incentive Pool is established for fiscal 1996, it will be calculated in
connection with the audit of the Company's fiscal 1997 consolidated financial
statements and distributed by the Board of Directors' Compensation Committee in
accordance with the terms of the plan.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Selected
Financial Data, the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Overview

TRC Companies, Inc. is an international environmental engineering and consulting
company with a premier reputation for expertise in all areas of air pollution
control, solid and hazardous waste management, risk assessment and process
engineering.  The Company is one of the largest air pollution engineering
companies in the nation and provides innovative approaches to solid and
hazardous waste management.

Significant recent events in the development of the Company's business include:
(i) the acquisition in March 1994 of the assets of Environmental Solutions, Inc.
of Irvine, California, a firm providing a broad range of solid and hazardous
waste engineering and consulting services, specializing in remedial design and
construction management; and (ii) the acquisition in May 1994 of the capital
stock of Mariah Associates, Inc. of Laramie, Wyoming, a full-service
environmental consulting firm serving primarily the western United States with a
focus on cultural resource consulting and environmental impact statements.  The
acquisition of Environmental Solutions, Inc. was treated as a purchase for
accounting purposes and Mariah was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.
Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been restated
to include the financial results of Mariah.

The Company believes that it is strongly positioned as a provider of air
pollution control, pollution prevention and solid and hazardous waste
engineering and consulting services.  Historically, the Company has realized a
significant amount of its revenue from federal government agencies.  However,
future levels of government business will be dependent upon the Company's
selectivity in bidding on government projects coupled with the strategy to
reduce its dependence on government contracts, and its success in procuring
contract awards.

Results of Operations

The Company, in the course of providing its services, routinely subcontracts
drilling, laboratory analyses and other specialized services.  These costs are
passed directly through to clients and, in accordance with industry practice,
are included in gross revenue.  Because subcontractor costs and direct charges
can vary significantly from project to project, the change in gross revenue is
not necessarily a true indication of business trends.  Accordingly, the Company
considers net service revenue, which is gross revenue less subcontractor costs
and direct charges, as its primary measure of revenue growth.

The following table presents the percentage relationships of certain items in
the consolidated statements of operations to net service revenue:

1996 Compared to 1995

The Company reported a net loss in fiscal 1996 of $1.3 million or $.19 per
share, compared to net income of $4.4 million or $.61 per share in fiscal 1995.
The loss includes charges of $4.4 million (approximately $2.8 million after
taxes) related to reductions in staff, the closing of certain offices, excess
lease costs and increased allowances for receivables and inventories.  These
charges were necessary because of the continued weak environmental
engineering/consulting market resulting from regulatory uncertainty and
anticipated reductions in federal enforcement spending, which has led to overall
lower levels of expenditures by industry for environmental engineering and
remedial services, coupled with greater competition and capacity for available
work.

Net service revenue decreased by 16.4% in fiscal 1996 to $60 million, from $71.8
million in fiscal 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to the weak commercial
hazardous waste engineering market resulting from regulatory uncertainty and
anticipated reductions in federal enforcement spending and the reduction in
services to the federal government.

Salaries and other direct costs of services decreased by 3.5% or $2.0 million in
fiscal 1996, as compared to fiscal 1995.  Although partially offset by the $4.4
million charges recorded during 


                                      25
<PAGE>
 
the year, this decrease was the direct result of continued cost reduction
efforts taken to align resources with current business conditions .

General and administrative expenses decreased by .4% in fiscal 1996, as compared
to fiscal 1995, primarily due to continued cost reduction efforts.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by 4.6% in fiscal 1996, as
compared to fiscal 1995.  This decrease was due to the comparative reduction in
expenditures for equipment in fiscal 1996 and 1995, combined with the effect of
other equipment which became fully depreciated.

The Company reported a loss from operations of $1.2 million in fiscal 1996,
compared to income from operations of $8.5 million in fiscal 1995.  The loss was
the direct result of the operating charges recorded during fiscal 1996 and to
the reduction in net service revenue.

Interest expense decreased in fiscal 1996 to $.9 million, from $1.4 million last
year.  The decrease resulted from lower levels of long-term debt outstanding at
lower rates of interest.

The provision (benefit) for federal and state income taxes for fiscal 1996 is
recorded at an effective rate of approximately 38%.  The Company provides for
income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and believes that
there will be sufficient taxable income in the carryforward periods to enable
utilization of the deferred tax benefits.


1995 Compared to 1994

Net service revenue increased by 17.7% in fiscal 1995 to $71.8 million, from $61
million in fiscal 1994.  This increase resulted primarily from the additional
revenue from TRC Environmental Solutions, Inc. which was acquired in March 1994,
and to an increase in revenue from commercial air pollution engineering
services, significantly offset by lower revenue from contracts with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and other federal government agencies.  Revenue
derived from contracts with the federal government decreased in fiscal 1995 by
41.6% or $7.9 million, as compared to fiscal 1994, as the Company implemented
its strategy to reduce the federal government component of its business.  As a
result, the percentage of net service revenue from the federal government
decreased to 15% in fiscal 1995, compared to 31% in fiscal 1994.

Salaries and other direct costs of services increased by 10.4% or $5.3 million
in fiscal 1995, as compared to fiscal 1994, primarily due to the inclusion of
the additional costs from TRC Environmental Solutions, Inc.  However, as a
percentage of net service revenue, these costs decreased to 78.5% from 83.7%
last year.  This improvement was primarily due to achieving higher net revenue
per labor dollar and lower operating expenses resulting from cost reduction
efforts.

General and administrative expenses increased by 6.1% in fiscal 1995, as
compared to fiscal 1994.  This increase was primarily due to the additional
costs from TRC Environmental Solutions, Inc., offset by cost reductions.

                                      26
<PAGE>
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 24.8% in fiscal 1995, as
compared to fiscal 1994.  This increase was primarily due to the additional
amortization of costs in excess of the net assets acquired in connection with
the acquisition of Environmental Solutions, Inc.

Income from operations increased by 123.1% to $8.5 million, from $3.8 million in
fiscal 1994.  The increase in income from operations resulted primarily from the
inclusion of the results of TRC Environmental Solutions, Inc. for the entire
fiscal year, improved operating performance from air pollution and other
services, and the reduction in operating costs as a percentage of net service
revenue.

Interest expense increased in fiscal 1995 to $1.4 million, from $.5 million last
year, primarily due to the interest expense on the long-term debt issued in
connection with the acquisition of Environmental Solutions, Inc.

The federal and state income tax provision was 37.5% of income before taxes, as
compared to 36.7% in fiscal 1994.  The higher rate in fiscal 1995 results
primarily from higher state income taxes.  The Company provides for income taxes
in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and believes that there will be sufficient
taxable income in the carryforward periods to enable utilization of the deferred
income tax benefits.

Impact of Inflation

The Company's operations have not been materially affected by inflation or
changing prices because of the short-term nature of many of its contracts, and
most contracts of a longer term are subject to adjustment or have been priced to
cover anticipated increases in labor and other costs.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital was $19 million at June 30, 1996, as compared to $25 million at
June 30, 1995.  The decrease is primarily due to the repayment of long-term
debt, the $2 million increase in the current portion of long-term debt, the net
loss for the year and the repurchase of the Company's stock.

The Company has available a $35 million, unsecured revolving credit agreement
with a group of commercial banks through December 31, 2001.  At June 30, 1996,
outstanding borrowings under this agreement were $5.2 million.  The amount
outstanding has been classified as long-term in accordance with the Company's
intention and ability to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis. In
addition, the Company had standby letters of credit outstanding totaling $1
million which reduce available borrowings under the agreement.  In conjunction
with the acquisition of  Environmental Solutions, Inc. in March 1994, the
Company issued a $14 million three-year 5.75% subordinated note, of which $7
million remained outstanding at June 30, 1996.

In fiscal 1996, the Board of Directors' authorized the repurchase of up to
500,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock as, in the opinion of
management, market conditions may warrant.  In fiscal 1996, the Company acquired
77,100 shares for $.5 million, at an average price of $6.69 per share.  The
Company made capital expenditures of $.6 million in fiscal 1996, and 

                                      27
<PAGE>
 
expects to make capital expenditures of approximately $1.5 million in fiscal
1997. The Company believes that cash generated from operations, the cash on hand
at June 30, 1996 and available borrowings under the revolving credit agreement
will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements in fiscal 1997.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
TRC Companies, Inc. and subsidiaries

1.    ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A.   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      B.   The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and
transactions. Certain prior year financial statement items have been
reclassified to conform to the current year's format.

      C.   Property and equipment are stated on the basis of cost, including
costs which bring the equipment into operation. Major improvements and
betterments to existing equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred.

           The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment on
the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years.
Accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes.

      D.   Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the various
leases or the useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

      E.   Revenue on engineering and consulting contracts is recognized as the
services are performed and the related costs are incurred. Revenue is recognized
from sales of instruments when the product is shipped.

           The Company makes revisions in its cost estimates as required during
the course of performing contracts; the impact of such revisions is reflected in
the accounting periods in which the relevant facts become known.

      F.   The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on the difference between the carrying amounts and tax bases of
assets and liabilities.

      G.   Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding and, when dilutive, outstanding warrants and stock
options are included as common share equivalents using the treasury stock 
method.

      H.   Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred
and amounted to approximately $283,000, $204,000 and $338,000 in fiscal 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

      I.   Costs in excess of the fair value of net assets of acquired
businesses are primarily amortized over 30 years on a straight-line basis. On a
periodic basis, the Company reassesses the

                                      33
<PAGE>
 
appropriateness of both the carrying value and remaining life of these costs.
Such reassessments are computed using forecasted cash flows, on an undiscounted
basis, and other factors.

    J.   Inventories, other than inventoried costs relating to fixed price
contracts, are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

    The components of inventories at June 30,  1996 and 1995 were as follows:

    K.   The Company has 401(k) savings plans covering substantially all
employees. The Company's contributions to the plans were approximately $661,000,
$721,000 and $634,000 in fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. The Company
does not have any employee benefit plans that provide post-retirement or post-
employment benefits.

    L.   Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and
the Company's subordinated note as reflected in the financial statements are
reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short-term maturity of
those instruments.

         The carrying amount of the Company's note payable pursuant to its
revolving credit agreement approximates fair value because the interest rate on
this instrument changes with market interest rates.

    M.   In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. FAS
121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be
reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company is required to
estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of these assets
and, if appropriate, their eventual disposition, and recognize an impairment
loss for any difference between the fair value and carrying amount of these
assets. FAS 121 must be adopted for years beginning after December 15, 1995. The
effect, if any, on the Company's financial position or results of operations
from adoption of FAS 121 is not expected to be material.

    N.   In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. Under the
provisions of this accounting standard, the Company is not required to change
its method of accounting for stock-based compensation and expects to retain its
current method of accounting.

      Unbilled costs represent revenue which is not currently billable to the
client under the terms of the contract. Management expects that substantially
all unbilled costs will be billed and collected in the subsequent year.
Retainage represents amounts billed but not paid by the client which, pursuant
to the contract, are due upon completion and acceptance by the client.

      Net service revenue from contracts with U.S. Government agencies amounted
to approximately $10,418,000, $11,135,000 and $19,062,000 in fiscal 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively

4.    ACQUISITIONS

      In March 1994, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company completed the
acquisition of substantially all of the business assets, liabilities and
obligations of Environmental Solutions, Inc., an environmental engineering and
consulting business.  The purchase price included cash of  $4,848,000 (net of
cash acquired), a $14,000,000 three-year 5.75% subordinated note and 459,770
shares of the Company's common stock valued at $5,000,000.  The acquisition,
which was effective as of the close of business on February 28, 1994, has been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  The purchase price and
expenses associated with the acquisition resulted in costs in excess of the fair
value of the net assets acquired of approximately $23,287,000, which is being
amortized over 30 years on a straight-line basis.

      The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the consolidated
results of operations as if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal
1994 after giving effect to certain adjustments,

including amortization of costs in excess of the net assets acquired, increased
interest expense on acquisition debt, income tax effects and the increase in
common shares outstanding.

      The Company has a revolving credit agreement, as amended, with a group of
commercial banks which provides an unsecured line of credit of up to $35,000,000
through December 31, 2001, with interest at the lower of the bank's base rate or
the Eurodollar rate plus .75%.  The Company pays a commitment fee of .25% on the
unused portion of the line.  The agreement provides that, at the option of the
Company, the principal outstanding on December 31, 1997 may be converted  into a
four-year term loan payable in sixteen equal quarterly installments.  The
agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial ratios and levels of
tangible net worth.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June
30, 1996.  The agreement also requires the Company to have income in at least
one of any two consecutive fiscal quarters beginning with the quarter ended June
30, 1996.  At June 30, 1996, borrowings outstanding under this agreement were
$5,200,000 at an average interest rate of 6.3%.  The amount outstanding has been
classified as long-term debt in accordance with the Company's intention and
ability to refinance such obligation on a long-term basis.  At June 30, 1996,
the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit related to contract
performance totaling $1,000,000 which reduce available borrowings under the
agreement.

      The 5.75% subordinated note was issued in March 1994 in connection with
the Company's acquisition of Environmental Solutions, Inc. The remaining
principal on the note of $7,000,000 is payable in fiscal 1997.

      The Company's non-qualified stock option plan for employees, as amended,
authorizes the granting of options to purchase 1,743,500 common shares at no
less than the fair market value of the stock on the date such options are
granted.  The exercisable option period is fixed by the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors at the time of grant, but does not exceed five years
and generally begins one year after the date of grant.  No accounting
recognition is given to stock options until they are exercised, at which time
the proceeds are credited to the capital accounts.  The Company receives a tax
benefit upon exercise of these options in an amount equal to the difference
between the option price and the fair market value of the common stock.  Tax
benefits related to stock options are credited to additional paid-in capital
when realized for financial reporting purposes.

</TABLE>

      In connection with the acquisition of Environmental Solutions, Inc. in
fiscal 1994, the Company authorized the issuance of warrants to the employees to
purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, under the same terms and conditions as
the employee stock option plan. At June 30, 1996, warrants to purchase 50,000
shares of common stock at $6.63 per share were outstanding.

      In fiscal 1996, the Company gave existing option holders the right to
cancel their existing options and be issued new options at a ratio of two
existing option shares in exchange for one new option share. The new non-
qualified options were issued at the fair market value of the stock on the date
such options were granted and have terms and conditions consistent with the
Company's stock option plan. The Company canceled 525,178 options and issued
262,589 new options under the program.

      The Company also has an Outside Directors Stock Option Plan that provides
for the granting of options to directors of the Company who are not employees.
The plan currently authorizes the granting of options to purchase 50,000 shares
of the Company's common stock in accordance with a formula based upon Company
performance. During fiscal 1996, the Company granted options to purchase 6,000
shares exercisable during the next three years at an option price of $7.75 per
share. At June 30, 1996, a total of 12,000 options to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock were outstanding pursuant to the Plan.

10.   CONTINGENCIES

      The Company's contracts with the U.S. Government are subject to
examination and renegotiation. Contracts and other records of the Company have

have a significant impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of TRC Companies, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareholders' equity and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
TRC Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries at June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
