Note 1.  Consolidated Financial Statements

     The consolidated financial statements of General Physics Corporation ("GPC"
or "the Company") included herein do not include all information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. For further information, such as
significant accounting policies followed by the Company, refer to the notes to
consolidated financial statements set forth in the Company's 1995 Annual Report.

     In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements
included herein include all necessary adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The
results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

     The balance sheet at December 31, 1995 has been derived from the audited
financial statements of the Company at that date.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

General

     The Company and its subsidiaries provide engineering, environmental,
training, analytical and technical support services to commercial nuclear and
fossil power utilities, the United States Departments of Defense and Energy,
Fortune 500 companies and other commercial and governmental customers. The
Company is organized into four groups: Training and Technology; Engineering and
Applied Sciences; Federal Systems and Department of Energy. The Company's
performance is significantly affected by the timing of performance on contracts.
Results of operations are not seasonal, since contracts are performed throughout
the year.

     Since mid-1992, the Company has experienced lower levels of contract
activity at United States Department of Energy ("DOE") facilities which resulted
in declining revenue. In addition, at the DOE's Savannah River Site, the volume
of contract activity for which the Company is eligible to compete has been
further reduced since 1994 by the award to small businesses of certain types of
work which have been performed by the Company. However, the lower level of
contract activity has been somewhat offset by task orders issued under an
architect engineering contract awarded to the Company by Westinghouse Savannah
River Company, in July 1995. The eventual value of the contract to the Company
is not presently determinable.

     The Company has also experienced decreasing revenues from commercial
nuclear power utilities over the last three years as a result of cost reduction
efforts at many of the utilities. During the first six months of 1996, revenues
from the commercial nuclear power group were up slightly from the first six
months of 1995. The cost reduction efforts by utilities are expected to
continue, but the long term effect on the Company is not presently determinable.

     While the Company continues to provide services to the DOE and Department 
of Defense and the commercial nuclear power industry, it is unsure what effect
continued cutbacks will have on the Company's future results. In response to
these factors, the Company has focused its marketing resources on expanding
management and technical training services to manufacturing and process
industries and specialized engineering services to federal agencies and process
industries. During 1995 and the first six months of 1996, the Company
experienced growth in these areas and anticipates future growth to come from
these areas.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
     Set forth below is a discussion and analysis of the results of operations
for the Company for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
1995.

Revenue

     Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by approximately
$1,488,000 or 2.7%, from revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Revenue
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased by approximately $845,000, or
3.1%, from revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The increase for
both periods was due primarily to expansion of managerial and technical training
services in manufacturing and process industries.

Gross Profit

     Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was approximately
$6,610,000 (11.9% of revenue), an increase of approximately $427,000, or 6.9%,
compared to gross profit of approximately $6,183,000 (11.4% of revenue) for the
six months ended June 30, 1995.

     Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was approximately
$3,397,000 (12.1% of revenue), compared to approximately $3,006,000 (11.0% of
revenue) for the three months ended June 30, 1995. Gross profit for both periods
increased because of higher revenue and reduced overhead costs as a percent of
revenue.

General and Administrative and Other Expenses

     General and administrative and other expenses for the six months ended June
30, 1996 were approximately $3,384,000, or 6.1% of revenue, compared to
approximately $3,276,000, or 6.0% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30,
1995.

     General and administrative and other expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 were approximately $1,761,000, or 6.3% of revenue, compared to
approximately $1,618,000, or 5.9% of revenue, for the three months ended June
30, 1995. The increase for both periods is due to higher costs associated with
higher volume of business.

Interest Expense

     Interest expense relates to interest on the Company's senior subordinated
debentures and the short-term borrowings owed to a commercial bank under the
Company's revolving credit agreement. Interest expense for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 was approximately $889,000, compared to approximately $1,190,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Interest expense for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 was approximately $440,000, compared to approximately
$637,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The decrease for both periods
is due to lower average outstanding borrowings under the Company's line of
credit during the first six months of 1996, compared to the first six months of
1995.

Income Before Income Taxes and Equity in Net Earnings of Investee Company

     Income before income taxes and equity in net earnings of investee company
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was approximately $2,407,000, an increase
of approximately $708,000 over the six months ended June 30, 1995.

     Income before income taxes and equity in net earnings of investee company
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was approximately $1,251,000, an
increase of approximately $498,000 over the three months ended June 30, 1995.
The increase for both periods was due primarily to increased revenue and
decreased interest expense.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
Income Taxes

     The Company's effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 were 42.9% and 43.3%, respectively, and for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 were 43.5% and 43.3%, respectively.

Equity in Net Earnings of Investee Company

     The Company accounts for its investments in GSE Systems, Inc. ("GSES")
using the equity method of accounting. For the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995, the Company recognized its proportionate share of the net earnings of
GSES of $69,000 and $63,000, respectively. For the three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, the Company recognized $24,000 and $38,000, respectively. Such
amounts are net of income taxes payable upon distribution of the earnings by the
investee.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company has historically financed its operations through cash generated
from operations and bank borrowings. Working capital was $17,545,000 at June 30,
1996 and $16,815,000 at December 31, 1995.

     The Company has a three-year credit agreement with a commercial bank
providing for a $20,000,000 secured revolving line of credit expiring April 10,
1998. Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at the prime rate
(8.25% at June 30, 1996) or at LIBOR plus 1.75% (7.25% at June 30, 1996),
whichever is elected by the Company. The credit agreement is secured by liens on
accounts receivable of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, and contains
covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability to dispose of
assets, incur debt, create liens, make capital expenditures and make certain
investments or acquisitions. In addition, the Company is required to meet
certain financial ratios. At June 30, 1996, the Company had available borrowings
of approximately $15,827,000 under the credit agreement and borrowings of
$2,950,000 outstanding.

     The Company has not historically made substantial capital expenditures. The
Company has no current plans to increase in any material respect its historical
level of capital expenditures. The Company believes that funds provided from
operations and available borrowings will be sufficient to meet the operating
needs and capital expenditures of the Company through 1996.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     On September 19, 1994, an action was filed against the Company by a former
employee of the Company, alleging that the Company willfully and intentionally
violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by failing to pay overtime to the
plaintiff and other similarly situated current and former employees of the
Company. The plaintiff seeks payment by the Company of unpaid overtime pay,
liquidated damages, and reasonable attorney fees and certification of the case
as a class action. On October 27, 1994, the case was removed to the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of Georgia. In January, 1996, the
Company filed a motion for partial summary judgment with respect to those claims
which are barred partially or entirely by the statute of limitations. In
February, 1996, the plaintiffs filed a motion requesting an order permitting
them to conduct discovery at the Company's offices nationwide. On June 18, 1996,
the Court ruled that (a) all claims arising more than three years before the
date each employee or former employee filed his or her consent to "opt in" to
the case are barred by the statute of limitations, and (b) plaintiffs' motion to
conduct discovery nationwide was denied. The Company believes that it has valid
defenses and intends to defend the action vigorously. However, the Company
cannot at this time predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     On June 18, 1996, the 1996 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the
Company was held at the Columbia Hilton Inn, 5485 Twin Knolls Road, Columbia,
Maryland, to (1) elect a slate of ten directors for a term of one year and until
their successors have been duly elected and qualified, and (2) ratify the
