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

                                  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. 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 in connection with three contracts being performed by  the
SAIT operating unit of the Company, and whether the Company committed conspiracy
to commit such offenses. 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."
