--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                  RISK FACTORS

    PRIOR  TO PURCHASING  THE CLASS  A COMMON  STOCK OFFERED  IN THE PROSPECTUS,
PURCHASERS SHOULD CAREFULLY  CONSIDER ALL  OF THE INFORMATION  CONTAINED IN  THE
PROSPECTUS AND IN PARTICULAR SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:

CONCENTRATION OF REVENUE/DEPENDENCE ON GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

    Revenues  generated from the sale of  Technical Services and Products to the
U.S. Government as a  prime contractor or subcontractor  accounted for 86%,  88%
and  88% of revenues in fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Although
the  Company  has  made  some  progress   in  its  efforts  to  diversify   into
non-governmental  business, it is still heavily dependent upon business with the
U.S. Government. See "The Company."

EARLY TERMINATION OF GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

    Many of the U.S. Government programs in which the Company participates as  a
contractor or subcontractor may extend for several years; however, such programs
are  normally  funded on  an  annual basis.  All  U.S. Government  contracts and
subcontracts may be modified, curtailed or terminated at the convenience of  the
government  if program requirements or budgetary constraints change. Termination
or curtailment  of major  programs or  contracts  of the  Company could  have  a
material  adverse effect  on the results  of the  Company's operations. Although
such contract and program terminations have not had a material adverse effect on
the Company  in  the  past, no  assurance  can  be given  that  curtailments  or
terminations  of U.S. Government programs or  contracts will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company in the future. See "Government Contracts."

AUDITS FOR GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

    Contract costs for  services or  products supplied to  the U.S.  Government,
including  allocated indirect  costs, are  subject to  audit and  adjustments by
negotiations between  the  Company  and  U.S.  Government  representatives.  The
majority  of the Company's indirect contract costs have been agreed upon through
the fiscal year ended  January 31, 1991 and  substantially all of the  Company's
indirect  costs have been agreed upon through  the fiscal year ended January 31,
1990. Contract revenues for subsequent years have been recorded in amounts which
are expected to be realized upon final settlement. However, no assurance can  be
given  that  audits and  adjustments  for subsequent  years  will not  result in
decreased revenues or profits for those years. See "Government Contracts."

FIXED PRICE CONTRACT EXPOSURE

    During the fiscal years ended January 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, approximately
13%, 12% and  16%, respectively, of  the Technical Services  revenues were  from
firm  fixed-price type  contracts, while  the majority  of Products  revenues in
these three years were derived from such contracts. Because the Company  assumes
the  risk of performing a firm fixed-price contract at the stipulated price, the
failure to  accurately  estimate  ultimate  costs or  to  control  costs  during
performance  of the work  could result, and  in some instances  has resulted, in
losses. See "Government Contracts."

AT RISK COSTS

    Any costs incurred by the  Company prior to the  execution of a contract  or
contract  amendment are incurred at the Company's  risk, and it is possible that
such costs will not be reimbursed by the customer. Unbilled receivables in  this
category  which were  included in  Technical Services  and Products  revenues at
January 31,  1995  were $13,393,000  and  $383,000, respectively.  Although  the
Company  expects to  recover substantially all  such costs, no  assurance can be
given that the  contracts or contract  amendments will be  received or that  the
related costs will be recovered. See "Government Contracts."

LEGAL PROCEEDING

    The  Company  is involved  in  a lawsuit  in  which the  U.S.  Government is
investigating whether the Company made false statements and false claims to  the
Department  of  Defense,  as well  as  conspiracy  to commit  such  offenses, in
connection with three contracts  being performed by the  SAIT operating unit  of
the  Company. At this stage of the  proceedings, the Company is unable to assess
the impact,  if any,  of  this investigation  and  lawsuit on  its  consolidated
financial  position, results of  operations or ability  to conduct business. See
"Government Contracts."

ABSENCE OF A PUBLIC MARKET

    There is no public market for the Common Stock. The Company and the trustees
of the  Company's  employee benefit  plans  are currently  authorized,  but  not
obligated,  to purchase shares of Class A  Common Stock in the Limited Market on
any Trade Date, but only  if and to the extent  that they, in their  discretion,
determine  to make such purchases. To the  extent that purchases by the trustees
of the Company's employee  benefit plans or by  the Company are not  sufficient,
the  ability of stockholders to  resell their shares in  the Limited Market will
likely be  adversely affected.  No assurance  can be  given that  a  stockholder
desiring  to sell all or a portion of his or her shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock in any trade will be able to do so. See "Market Information --  The
Limited Market."

FORMULA PRICE

    The offering price and the price at which the Class A Common Stock trades in
the  Limited Market are, and subsequent prices will be, determined by means of a
formula and  valuation  process as  described  in the  Prospectus.  See  "Market
Information -- Price Range of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock."

NO CASH DIVIDENDS

    The  Company has never  declared or paid  any cash dividends  on its capital
stock and no cash dividends on the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common  Stock
are  contemplated in the foreseeable future.  The Company's present intention is
to retain any future earnings for use in its business. See "Dividend Policy."

RESTRICTIONS ON CLASS A COMMON STOCK

    All of the shares of Class A Common Stock presently outstanding are, and all
shares of  Class A  Common Stock  offered  hereby will  be, subject  to  certain
restrictions  (including restrictions on their transferability) set forth in the
Company's Certificate of  Incorporation. See  "Description of  Capital Stock  --
Common Stock -- Restrictions on Class A Common Stock."

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS

    Certain  provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
may discourage, delay,  or prevent attempts  to acquire control  of the  Company
that  are not negotiated  with the Company's Board  of Directors. The provisions
may, individually  or collectively,  have the  effect of  discouraging  takeover
attempts  that  some stockholders  might  deem to  be  in their  best interests,
including tender offers in which stockholders might receive a premium for  their
shares over the Formula Price available in the Limited Market, as well as making
it  more difficult  for individual  stockholders or  a group  of stockholders to
elect directors. However, the Board of Directors believes that these  provisions
are  in the  best interests  of the Company  and its  stockholders, because such
provisions may  encourage potential  acquirors to  negotiate directly  with  the
Board  of Directors,  which is  in the  best position  to act  on behalf  of all
stockholders. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Anti-Takeover Effects."
