          EA ENGINEERING, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996


Note 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Presentation--

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the accounts of
EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc. (EA) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, EA International, Inc. and EA Financial, Inc., and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, EA Global, Inc. and EA Engineering, Science, and
Technology de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (EA de Mexico). The entities are collectively
referred to herein as the "Company." All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition--

    The Company is a multidisciplinary energy and environmental services and
consulting engineering organization providing a wide range of consulting,
engineering, remediation, and analytical services. These services are generally
performed under time and material, fixed price, and cost plus fixed fee
contracts which vary in length from one month to ten years.

    The Company accounts for contract revenues and costs under fixed price
contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. The
percentage-of-completion is determined using the "cost-to-cost" method for each
contract cost component. Under this method, direct labor and other contract
costs incurred to date are compared to periodically revised estimates of the
total of each contract cost component at contract completion to determine the
percentage of revenues to be recognized. Revenues from time and material and
cost plus fixed fee contracts are recognized currently as the work is performed.
Provision for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts, to the full extent of
the loss, is made during the period in which the Company first becomes aware
that a loss on a contract is probable.

    Contract costs and estimated earnings recognized in excess of amounts billed
are classified as current assets under "costs and estimated earnings in excess
of billings on uncompleted contracts." Billings in excess of contract costs and
estimated earnings are classified as current liabilities under "billings in
excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts."

    Generally, contracts provide for the billing of costs incurred and estimated
fees on a monthly basis. Amounts included in "costs and estimated earnings in
excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" in the accompanying financial
statements will be billed within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

Major Clients--

Various agencies of the federal government accounted for approximately 50% and
44% of the Company's net revenue for the three months ended November 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively. Additionally, various agencies of the federal government
accounted for approximately 40% of the Company's accounts receivable and costs
and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts as of
November 30, 1997. Approximately 60% of the Company's current net contract


                                       8

<PAGE>



backlog is with the federal government. Net contract backlog amounts as of
November 30, 1997 and August 31, 1997 were $21.6 million and $22.6 million,
respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents--

    Cash equivalents consist of money market instruments with a purchased
original maturity of three months or less, stated at cost, which approximates
the market.

Property and Equipment--

    Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over
their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements
are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the
lease.

Segment Information--

    The Company operates largely within one industry segment, providing a wide
range of consulting, engineering, remediation, and analytical services.

Reclassifications-

    For historical comparisons, net revenue in past periods has been adjusted to
include other direct project costs in addition to subcontract costs. In previous
years, only subcontract costs were deducted from total revenue to arrive at net
revenue. Additionally, operating costs in past years have been adjusted to
include sales and marketing costs in the category of sales, general and
administrative costs. In previous periods, these costs were included in direct
salaries and other operating expenses.

Risks and Uncertainties--

    Reliance on major government contracts subjects the Company to risks
associated with public budgetary restrictions and uncertainties, discrepancies
between awarded contract amounts and actual revenues, and cancellation at the
option of the government. The Company attempts to mitigate these risks by
staffing only to meet reasonably anticipated average workloads, by using
subcontractors to handle peak workloads, and by obtaining termination benefit
contract provisions. Cancellation of any of the Company's major government
contracts, however, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Use of Estimates--

    The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses in the financial statements and in the disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities. While actual results could differ from these estimates,
management believes that actual results will not be materially different from
amounts provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information--

    Cash paid for interest during the three months ended November 30, 1997 and
1996 for interest was $48,900 and $43,500, respectively. Retirements of property
and equipment for the same periods were $28,000 and $21,900, respectively.


                                       9

Accounting for Income Taxes--

    Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future
years for differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts.

Note 2.  BANK FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS:

    The Company maintains an $8.5 million revolving line of credit and a $1.5
million equipment line of credit arrangement with a commercial bank. Borrowings
under the revolving line of credit facility are secured by receivables and are
limited to a percentage of certain accounts receivables and costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts (up to a minimum of
$4,000,000). The agreement became effective August 22, 1997. During fiscal year
1998 to date, the Company has been in compliance with all covenants related to
financing agreements. Prior to the current fiscal year, the Company has either
been in compliance or has obtained waivers on all covenants related to financing
arrangements.

    The Company did not have short-term borrowings from the financing agreement
for the three-month period ended November 30, 1997, or for the three-month
period ended November 30, 1996.


    Long-term debt consists of the following:

Note 3.  NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:

    Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the
period. Common stock equivalents are calculated using the treasury stock method.

Note 4.  PROFIT SHARING:

    EA maintains a defined contribution retirement plan covering all employees
who are at least 21 years of age and have completed six months of credited
service, as defined by the plan. The plan provides for discretionary employer
contributions for each fiscal year, in amounts determined annually by the Board
of Directors. The plan also includes a 401(k) provision, allowing for Company
matching contributions.

Note 5.  STOCK OPTION AND EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLANS:

    The Company maintains a Stock Option Plan (the Plan), which provides for the
granting of nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options to certain
key employees and officers of the Company. The exercise price of an option
granted under the Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the
underlying shares of Common Stock on the date of the grant. A total of 574,200
options are issued and outstanding as of November 30, 1997 having an average
exercise price of $2.29. Of the outstanding options, 200,000 are held by Donald
A. Deieso, President and CEO. The exercise price of the 200,000 shares is $2.25,
which was equal to the market price on the grant date. There are 346,000 options
available for issuance as of November 30, 1997.

    The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan to provide eligible
employees with the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock
through voluntary payroll deductions. Under the Plan, eligible employees may
purchase shares through monthly payroll deductions at 95% of current market
value at the time of purchase. The Company pays all administrative expenses
related to employee purchases. A total of 142,300 shares remain authorized for
distribution under the Plan as of November 30, 1997.

    The Company maintains two Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plans (1993 and
1995) which provide for the granting of nonqualified stock options to its four
non-employee directors. The exercise price of the 40,000 options, which were
outstanding as of November 30, 1997 ranged between $2.03 and $6.13, which
equaled the fair market value at the dates of grant. A total of 37,500 options
remain reserved for the Director Stock Option Plans as of November 30, 1997.

Note 6.  Restructuring:

    On March 25, 1997, the Company announced a major organizational realignment
to reposition itself in the marketplace. In connection with the restructuring,
the Company incurred charges of $3,000,100 during the third quarter related to
severance, planned reduction in office space, the suspension of the
implementation of a new project/financial system, and other related costs.

    This restructuring included a staff reduction of approximately 125
employees.

    As of November 30, 1997 and August 31, 1997, the Company had accrued
expenses of $532,700 and $880,100, respectively, in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets for costs to be incurred in future periods.

          EA ENGINEERING, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

   The Company's results of operations are significantly affected by the timing
of the award of contracts, the timing of performance on contracts, and the
extent to which the Company's employees are performing billable tasks as opposed
to engaging in preparing bid proposals and other required non-billable
activities. Due to these factors, the results of operations for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for longer periods
and interim period comparisons may not be as meaningful as comparisons over
longer periods.

   For historical comparisons, net revenue in past periods has been adjusted to
include other direct project costs in addition to subcontract costs. In previous
years, only subcontract costs were deducted from total revenue to arrive at net
revenue. Additionally, operating costs in past years have been adjusted to
include sales and marketing costs in the category of sales, general and
administrative costs. In previous periods, these costs were included in direct
salaries and other operating expenses.

Three Months Ended November 30, 1997

   Net revenue for the three months ended November 30, 1997 was $10,721,300, a
decrease of 14.2% from $12,499,400 for the same period in 1997. The decrease is
attributable to lower contract volume across all client sectors resulting from
greater selectivity in the pursuit of opportunities. Additionally, price
competition remains intense within the energy and environmental services
industry, further surpressing net revenue levels compared to the prior year's
first quarter.

   Direct salaries and other operating costs decreased to $7,947,700 from
$10,207,300, representing 74.1% and 81.7% of net revenue for the three months
ended November 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decreases were attributable
to increased staff utilization and lower overall operating costs from quarter to
quarter.

   Sales, general and administrative costs increased to $2,301,200 from
$1,926,900. The increase in costs was primarily related to an additional
investment in sales and marketing expenses.

   As a result of the above factors, income from operations for the three months
ended November 30, 1997 and 1996 increased 29.4% to $472,400 from $365,200
representing 4.4% and 2.9% of net revenue. Interest expense, net, decreased
$4,200 for the three months ended November 30, 1997, compared to the prior year.
The net decrease in interest expense is primarily the result of decreasing
long-term debt principal balances and interest paid on its revolving line of
credit due to lower average daily amounts outstanding.

   The provision for income taxes was $138,200 and $124,400 for the three months
ended November 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This represents effective rates
of 32.7% and 40.0%, respectively.


                                       12

<PAGE>



   Net income for the three months ended November 30, 1997 and 1996 increased
52.3% to $284,300 from $186,700, representing 2.7% and 1.5% of net revenue.

Three Months Ended November 30, 1996

   Net revenue for the three months ended November 30, 1996 was $12,499,400, a
decrease of 13.7% from $14,490,300 for the same period in 1995. The decrease was
attributable to lower contract volume associated with the Department of Defense
activities, partially offset by increases in Industrial, State and Local
Government, Federal Non-DOD agency activities, and increased recovery of General
and Administrative expenses and fees on subcontracted work.

   Direct salaries and other operating costs decreased to $10,207,300 from
$11,487,700, representing 81.2% and 79.3% of net revenue for the three months
ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As a percentage of net revenue,
the increase was attributable to decreased staff utilization, and increased
information systems costs.

   Sales, general and administrative costs decreased to $1,926,900 from
$2,008,400. The decrease in costs was related to the reduction of administrative
staff quarter to quarter.

   As a result of the above factors, income from operations for the three months
ended November 30, 1996 and 1995 decreased 63.3% to $365,200 from $994,200
representing 2.9% and 6.9% of net revenue. Interest expense, net, decreased
$47,100 for the three months ended November 30, 1996, compared to the prior
year. The net decrease in interest expense is primarily the result of decreasing
long-term debt principal balances, partially offset by increased short-term
borrowings to fund federal subcontracting payment requirements on certain
contracts.

   The provision for income taxes was $124,400 and $357,200 for the three months
ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing effective rates of
40% for both years.

   Net income was $186,700 for the three months ended November 30, 1996,
compared to $535,800 for the three months ended November 30, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Cash and cash equivalents (cash) decreased by $673,700 for the three months
ended November 30, 1997. The decrease principally resulted from the payout of
cash related to FY97 restructuring expenses.

   The Company's capital expenditures, consisting primarily of purchases of
equipment and leasehold improvements, were approximately $157,800 and $143,000
for the three months ended November 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

   At November 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding long-term debt, including
the current portion, of $3,077,600. This represents a net increase of $123,900
from the $2,953,700 balance at August 31, 1997. The increase is the result of a
$946,900 increase in its revolving line of credit balance, partially offset by
net repayments of $540,600 for equipment loans and $282,400 for computer
equipment.

   The Company's existing funds, cash from operations, and the available portion
of its $8,500,000 revolving line and $1,500,000 equipment line of credit

arrangements are expected to be sufficient to meet the Company's present cash
needs. The Company also has access to certain capital equipment financing
arrangements through various equipment suppliers. The Company also believes it
has the ability to raise capital through public or private placement of debt and
will pursue such options as the need arises to expand business services,
facilities, or acquire equipment in conjunction with a review of the most
cost-effective means for the Company and its stockholders.

   While the Company believes that there is sufficient market demand to absorb
the additional contracting capacity resulting from its continued expansion,
there can be no assurance that this demand will exist or continue. Although the
Company has the ability to reduce its professional staff in periods of reduced
demand, it may choose not to make full reductions in such periods, with
resulting adverse effects on operations.
