Employment Agreements

     None of the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table above is a
party to an employment agreement with the Company.

REPORT OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company's
previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate future
filings, including this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in whole or in part, the
following report and the Performance Graph on page 9 shall not be incorporated
by reference into any such filings.

Compensation Philosophy

     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Committee") consists of the three (3) independent directors who are neither
employees nor officers of the Company. The Committee reviews the Company's
executive compensation program and policies, determines the compensation of the
Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and reviews and approves the CEO's
recommendations for the compensation of the other senior executive officers of
the Company.

     The Committee's philosophy regarding compensation of the Company's senior
management is to link rewards to financial and operational performance, to
encourage creation of shareholder value and to achieve the Company's strategic
goals and objectives. Through its executive compensation policies, the Committee
seeks to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executives who will
contribute to the Company's success. Thus, the Committee believes the Company's
compensation arrangements must remain competitive with those offered by other
companies of similar size and scope of operations. To achieve these goals, the
executive compensation program consists of three primary components which, taken
together, constitute a flexible and balanced method of establishing total
compensation for senior management. These components are: (i) base salary which
reflects individual performance and contribution to the Company; (ii)
discretionary annual bonus awards payable in cash and tied to the Company's
achievement of financial targets; and (iii) long-term stock based incentive
awards designed to strengthen the mutuality of interests between the Company's
executive officers and its shareholders. Beginning in 1998, option grants to
executive officers are made under the Company's 1998 Stock Ownership Incentive
Plan by the Committee.

Cash Based Compensation

     Salary. Consistent with the Company's philosophy, the Committee's approach
to base compensation is to offer competitive salaries in comparison with market
practices. Salary decisions are based on an annual review with the CEO,
considering the decision-making responsibilities of each position and the
experience, work performance, and team-building skills of position incumbents,
subject to existing employment agreements, if any. The cash salary of each of
the Company's executive officers is determined by the individual's performance
and past and potential contributions to the Company, as well as the overall
financial performance and resources of the Company.

     Bonuses. The Committee has in the past and may in the future authorize the
payment of discretionary bonus compensation based upon an assessment of an
individual's exceptional contributions to the Company. Bonuses are based upon
the overall achievement in increasing the Company's revenue and its level of
profitability.

                                       5
<PAGE>

     As a general matter, the Committee endorses the philosophy that executive
compensation should reflect company performance. The Company, to date, has not
yet adopted any compensation plans which are tied directly to Company
performance by formula.

Equity Based Compensation

     The executive officers have, from time to time, received grants of options
to acquire Common Stock. The purpose of the option grants is to provide such
individuals with additional incentives to maximize shareholder value. The
Committee also utilizes vesting periods to encourage key employees to continue
in the employ of the Company. The size of the option grant to each executive
officer is set at a level which is intended to create a meaningful opportunity
for stock ownership based on the individual's current position with the Company
and may also be based in part upon Company performance factors such as earnings
per share and revenue growth. However, the extent to which these latter factors
are taken into consideration will vary from individual to individual at the
Committee's sole discretion.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

     The process of determining the compensation for the CEO and the factors
taken into consideration in such determination are generally the same as the
process and factors used in determining the compensation of all of the executive
officers of the Company. The Committee considers both the Company's overall
performance and the CEO's individual performance. Bonuses for the CEO are based
upon the overall achievements in increasing the Company's revenue and its level
of profitability. Ms. Chiu's salary was determined based on analysis of salaries
paid by peer companies and on Ms. Chiu's knowledge, experience and individual
performance.

     The foregoing report has been furnished by the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors of the Company.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     The following is a summary of certain transactions to which the Company was
or is a party and in which certain executive officers, directors or shareholders
of the Company had or have a direct or indirect material interest.

     From 1992 to 1997, Doreen M. Chiu, the Company's Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer, extended a series of loans to the Company, each of
which was repayable in full upon demand (collectively, the "Loan"). The Loan,
which was unsecured, bore interest at an annual rate of 10%, payable
concurrently with principal. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan,
including accrued interest, at December 31, 1997 was $1,280,180. This Loan was
repaid in full in 1998.

     Doreen M. Chiu and Frank Y. Chiu, the Executive Vice-President and a
director of the Company, have each guaranteed the obligations of the Company
under (i) two Promissory Notes in the principal amounts of $2,069,604 and
$1,996,075 held by Safeco Credit Company, Inc.; (ii) an Equipment Lease between
the Company and Great Western Leasing that provides for an aggregate rental
amount of $32,522; and (iii) a Commercial Lease Agreement between the Company
and U.S. Bancorp with an aggregate rental amount of $103,341.

     In connection with the issuance of certain bonds, undertakings and other
instruments of guarantee in favor of the Company, Doreen M. Chiu and Frank Y.
Chiu have each executed (i) a blanket Indemnity Agreement in favor of ACSTAR
Insurance Company ("ACSTAR"), indemnifying ACSTAR against any losses that ACSTAR
may incur in connection with the issuance of any such bonds, undertakings or
other instruments of guarantee, and (ii) a blanket Continuing Agreement of
Indemnity-Contractor's Form for the benefit of Reliance Insurance Company,
United Pacific Insurance, Reliance National Indemnity Company and Reliance
Surety Company, indemnifying such entities against any losses that such entities
may incur in connection with the issuance of any such bonds, undertakings or
other instruments of guarantee. As of December 31, 1999, the potential aggregate
liability of Mr. and Mrs. Chiu under the blanket indemnities was approximately
$35,500.

     In 1998, the Company entered into a contract to provide certain
engineering, remediation and construction services to Mission Ranch Center, a
California limited partnership ("Mission Ranch"). Doreen M. Chiu and Frank Y.
Chiu are general partners and own a 50% partnership interest in Mission Ranch.
The Company reported revenues of $1,403,000 and costs of $1,354,000 related to
services provided under this contract in 1999. The Company reported revenues of
$785,000 and costs of $432,000 related to services provided under this contract
in 1998. The total project contract value is approximately $4,695,000 and is
expected to be completed in fiscal 2000.
