IT Corporation
  as Plan Administrator of
  The IT Corporation Retirement Plan


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of The IT Corporation Retirement Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in
our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
financial statements taken as a whole.

                         Notes to Financial Statements


                               December 31, 1998


1. Description of Plan

The following description of The IT Corporation Retirement Plan (the Plan)
provides only general information. Participants should refer to the summary plan
description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The IT Corporation Retirement Plan is a defined contribution profit sharing plan
which covers substantially all employees of The IT Group, Inc. (the Company).
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA).

During 1997, approximately $2,300,000 of participant accounts were transferred
into the Plan in connection with several acquisitions by the Company.

On February 3, 1998, approximately $2,795,000 of participant accounts were
transferred into the Plan, in connection with the Company's acquisition of
Pacific Environmental Group, Inc. In addition, approximately $6,577,000 of
participant accounts were transferred into the Plan on May 1, 1998 in connection
with the Company's acquisition of Jellinek, Schwartz, and Connolly, Inc. Lastly,
approximately $2,372,000 of participant accounts were transferred out of the
Plan in February 1998 in connection with the Company's divestiture of its
Wilmington, California remediation services division.

In February 1998, the Company acquired OHM Corporation, a publicly-traded
provider of technology-based, on-site hazardous waste remediation services in
the United States. In April 1999, subsequent to year-end, approximately
$51,851,063 of participant accounts were transferred into the Plan from OHM
Corporation's Retirement Savings Plan.

Contributions

The Company contributes 3% of each participant's eligible compensation to the
Plan ("fixed contribution"). The Plan permits annual employee contributions of
between 1% and 15% of participants' eligible compensation. In addition to the
fixed contribution, the Company matches employee contributions ("matching
contribution") up to 2% of participants' eligible compensation by matching 50%
of each participant's contribution (up to 4% of eligible compensation) to the
Plan.

1. Description of Plan (continued)

Contributions (continued)

In addition, the Company may, in its sole discretion, contribute a discretionary
amount determined by the Company's board of directors based on the financial
success of the Company. This amount is allocated to participants' accounts based
on the amount of compensation deferred by each participant. No discretionary
contributions were made by the Company for the years ended December 31, 1998 or
1997.

Participant Accounts

Each participant elects a fund or a combination of funds for the investment of
their account. The income of the Plan, together with any gains in the value of
the investments, increases participants' accounts proportionately based on their
account balances to total account balances. Losses reduce participants' accounts
in the same manner. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested
accounts are used to reduce future company contributions and to pay
administrative expenses of the Plan.

Vesting

Employees are eligible to become participants of the Plan one year after their
hire date. Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus
actual earnings thereon. Participants become vested in employer contributions at
the rate of 20% after two years of service and an additional 20% for each year
of service thereafter until participants are 100% vested after six years of
service.

Investment Options

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employer and employee
contributions in any of nine investment options, all of which are managed by
Fidelity Investments, with the exception of the Company common stock fund:


  Fidelity Asset Manager Fund--Invests in domestic and foreign stocks, bonds and
  short-term instruments of the U.S. and foreign issuers.

  Fidelity Asset Manager Growth Fund--Invests in stocks, bonds and short-term
  instruments.

Investment Options (continued)


  Fidelity Asset Manager Income Fund--Invests in bonds and short-term
  instruments and a small amount of common stock.

  Company Stock Fund--Invests primarily in the common stock of The IT Group,
  Inc. The remainder is held in cash or short-term instruments.

  Fidelity Equity Income Fund--Invests in income-producing common and preferred
  stocks and bonds.

  Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund--Invests in corporate debt obligations and
  U.S. Government or agency obligations.

  Fidelity Magellan Fund--Invests in common stocks and securities convertible to
  common stock issued by companies operating in the U.S. or abroad.

  Fidelity Overseas Fund--Invests in common stocks and debt instruments of
  foreign business and governments.

  Fidelity Retirement Money Market Fund--Invests in high quality, U.S. dollar-
  denominated money market instruments of U.S. and foreign issuers.


Participants may change their investment options on a daily basis.

Participant Notes Receivable

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Prior
to May 27, 1998, loan terms ranged from six months to three years. The Plan was
amended May 27, 1998 to permit loans of at least $2,000 to be repaid over a
period not to exceed five full years. The loans are secured by the balance in
the participant's account and bear interest at rates between 9.25% and 10%.
Principal and interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.

1. Description of Plan (continued)

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination,
participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Investments in registered
investment companies and common stock are valued at quoted market prices on the
last business day of the plan year. The participant notes receivable are valued
at cost, which approximates fair value.

Investment Transactions Gains and Losses

Purchases and sales of investments are reflected on the trade dates. Realized
gains and losses from investment transactions represent the difference between
the proceeds received and the weighted average cost of the securities sold.
Unrealized gains and losses on investments are measured by the change in the
difference between the market value of the investments held at the beginning and
end of the plan year. Cash dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend dates and
interest is recorded as earned on the accrual basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

                   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

4. Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated June 27, 1996 stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) and that the trust, therefore, is
exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in
conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Sponsor has
indicated that it will take the necessary steps, if any, to maintain the Plan's
qualified status.

5. Year 2000 (Unaudited)

The Plan Sponsor has determined that it will be necessary to take certain steps
in order to ensure that the Plan's information systems are prepared to handle
Year 2000 dates. The Plan Sponsor is taking a two-phase approach. The first
phase addresses internal systems that must be modified or replaced to function
properly. Both internal and external resources are being utilized to replace or
modify existing software applications, and test the software and equipment for
the Year 2000 modifications. The Plan Sponsor anticipates substantially
completing this phase of the project by June 1999. Costs associated with
modifying software and equipment are not estimated to be significant and will be
paid by the Plan Sponsor.

For the second phase of the project, plan management established formal
communications with its third party service providers to determine that they
have developed plans to address their own Year 2000 problems as they relate to
the Plan's operations. All third party service providers have indicated that
they will be Year 2000 compliant by mid-1999. If modification of data processing
systems of either the Plan, the Plan Sponsor, or its service providers are not
completed timely, the Year 2000 problem could have a material impact on the
operations of the Plan. Plan management has not developed a contingency plan,
because they are confident that all systems will be Year 2000 ready.

6. Subsequent Events

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company amended the Plan to discontinue the fixed
contribution and to revise the matching contribution, whereby the Company will
contribute up to 4% of a participant's contribution by matching 100% of each
participant's contribution (up to 4% of eligible compensation).

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company, at its discretion, may direct that any
or all of the employer matching contribution for any plan year be made in or
invested in the Company Stock Fund.

Additionally, as of January 1, 1999, the Plan will allow a participant to make
one withdrawal per calendar quarter upon incurring a hardship as determined by
the Company in accordance with the rules of uniform application which the
Company may from time to time prescribe.
