                          VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(A)  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in
accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include
all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting
principles or those normally made in Versar, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report filed on Form
10-K/A for the year ended June 30, 1999 for additional information.

Restatement of Fiscal Year 1998 Discontinued Operations
-------------------------------------------------------

     During fiscal year 2000, the Company had several audits and inquiries
into the discontinued operations of SMC McEver, Inc. ("McEver").  The audits
and inquiries, which were recently completed, revealed that the former
principals of McEver had not paid certain payroll and state sales tax
obligations.  These obligations were neither recorded nor disclosed in
McEver's financial records.  The financial and business affairs of this
subsidiary were managed separately from those of Versar, and as such, Versar
had no knowledge of these tax obligations until these audits and inquiries.
The estimated obligations are approximately $807,000.  The effect on net
income, after consideration of the related Federal income tax is $500,000.
The Company is reviewing different alternatives to protect itself from the tax
obligations of McEver, including possibly placing McEver into Chapter 7
bankruptcy proceedings.  Until such time as the obligation has been settled or
adjudicated by the bankruptcy court, the Company must accrue the liability in
the consolidated financial statements.  Therefore, the Company has restated
the fiscal year 1998 financial statements to reflect the obligation of
approximately $807,000 (and the related income tax effect of $307,000) in the
period when the obligation was incurred.  As a result, the Company increased
the operating losses from discontinued operations by $500,000 ($807,000 net of
tax of $307,000) in fiscal year 1998.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Versar, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries ("Versar" or the
"Company").  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.  The Company's business segments are
environmental services, energy conservation services and facility
infrastructure services.  The energy conservation and facility infrastructure
segments are collectively less than 10% of consolidated revenues, operating
profit and identifiable assets and therefore separate segment reporting is not
required.  Both segments are expected to grow and may become separate
reportable segments in fiscal year 2000.

     The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the
Company's customary accounting practices.  In the opinion of management, the
information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company's consolidated financial position as of December 31, 1999, and the
results of operations for the six-  month periods ended December 31, 1999 and
1998.  The results of operations for such periods, however, are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

(B)  Accounting Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

(C)  Contract Accounting

     Contracts in process are stated at the lower of actual cost incurred
plus accrued profits or net estimated realizable value of incurred costs,
reduced by progress billings.  The Company records income from major fixed-

                                    6

<PAGE>

                      VERSAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

price contracts, extending over more than one accounting period, using the
percentage-of-completion method.  During performance of such contracts,
estimated final contract prices and costs are periodically reviewed and
revisions are made as required.  The effects of these revisions are included
in the periods in which the revisions are made.  On cost-plus-fee contracts,
revenue is recognized to the extent of costs incurred plus a proportionate
amount of fee earned, and on time-and-material contracts, revenue is
recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus material
and other reimbursable costs incurred.  Losses on contracts are recognized in
the period in which they become known.  Disputes arise in the normal course of
the Company's business on projects where the Company is contesting with
customers for collection of funds because of events such as delays, changes in
contract specifications and questions of cost allowability or collectibility.
Such disputes, whether claims or unapproved change orders in the process of
negotiation, are recorded at the lesser of their estimated net realizable
value or actual costs incurred and only when realization is probable and can
be reliably estimated.  Claims against the Company are recognized where loss
is considered probable and is reasonably determinable in amount.

     It is the Company's policy to provide reserves for the collectibility of
accounts receivable when it is determined that it is probable that the Company
will not collect all amounts due and the amount of reserve requirements can be
reasonably estimated.

(D)  Intangible Assets

     On January 30, 1998, Versar completed the acquisition of The Greenwood
Partnership, P.C. ("Greenwood" or "TGP").  The transaction was accounted for
as a purchase.  Goodwill recorded as part of the transaction was approximately
$1.1 million.  Versar is amortizing the goodwill related to the acquisition
over 15 years, which was determined to be reasonable based on the mature
business of Greenwood.

(E)  Income Taxes

     At June 30, 1999, the Company had $4.4 million net deferred tax assets
which primarily relate to net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Due to the Company's history of operating losses, a valuation allowance of
approximately $2.5 million was carried at June 30, 1999.  With stable
profitability, such net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards would be
utilized and the valuation allowance would be adjusted accordingly.  In the
second quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company reversed $200,000 of the
valuation allowance.  Net income will accrue income tax expense at an
estimated effective rate of 40%.

(F)  Contingencies

     Versar and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal actions arising
in the normal course of business.  The Company believes that the ultimate
resolution of these legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on
its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

(G)  Net Income Per Share

     Basic income per share applicable to common stock is computed by
dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the applicable period being reported upon.
Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to
common stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the
effect of assumed exercise of stock options using the Treasury Stock Method.
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for basic earnings per share to the weighted average number of
shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share.

(H)  Common Stock

     In fiscal year 1999, Versar issued approximately 259,871 shares to
various employee benefit plans as part of the Company's contribution to
employee benefits for fiscal years 1998 and 1999. In the first quarter of
fiscal year 2000, 62,690 shares were issued to the employee benefit plans for
contributions for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999.

Results of Operations
---------------------

Second Quarter Comparison of Fiscal Year 2000 and 1999
------------------------------------------------------

     This report contains certain forward-looking statements which are based on
current expectations.  Actual results may differ materially.  The forward-
looking statements include those regarding the continued award of future work
or task orders from government and private clients, cost controls and
reductions, the expected resolution of delays in billing of certain projects,
the possible impact of current and future claims against the Company based
upon negligence and other theories of liability, and the possibility of the
Company making acquisitions during the next 12 to 18 months.  Forward-looking
statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially, including, but not limited to, the possibilities
that the demand for the Company's services may

decline as a result of possible changes in general and industry specific
economic conditions and the effects of competitive services and pricing; the
ability to perform work within budget or contractual limitations; one or more
current or future claims made against the Company may result in substantial
liabilities; the possibility that acquired entities may not perform as well as
expected; the ability to attract and retain key professional employees; and
such other risks and uncertainties as are described in reports and other
documents filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

     During fiscal year 2000, the Company had several audits and inquiries
into the discontinued operations of SMC McEver, Inc. ("McEver").  The audits
and inquiries, which were recently completed, revealed that the former
principals of McEver had not paid certain payroll and state sales tax
obligations.  These obligations were neither recorded nor disclosed in
McEver's financial records.  The financial and business affairs of this
subsidiary were managed separately from those of Versar, and as such, Versar
had no knowledge of these tax obligations until these audits and inquiries.
The estimated obligations are approximately $807,000.  The effect on net
income, after consideration of the related Federal income tax is $500,000.
The Company is reviewing different alternatives to protect itself from the tax
obligations of McEver, including possibly placing McEver into Chapter 7
bankruptcy proceedings.  Until such time as the obligation has been settled or
adjudicated by the bankruptcy court, the Company must accrue the liability in
the consolidated financial statements.  Therefore, the Company has restated
the fiscal year 1998 financial statements to reflect the obligation of
approximately $807,000 (and the related income tax effect of $307,000) in the
period when the obligation was incurred.  As a result, the Company increased
the operating losses from discontinued operations by $500,000 ($807,000 net of
tax of $307,000) in fiscal year 1998.

     Versar's gross revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2000
totaled $13,758,000, a decrease of $1,721,000 (11%) compared to gross revenue
of $15,479,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 1999.  Gross revenues
decreased primarily as a result of lower volume in the Rocky Mountain
operations due to delays in contract funding on the Air force Armstrong
contract and the winding down of a commercial remediation construction
contract in the Northeast operations.

     Purchased services and materials for the second quarter of fiscal year
2000 decreased by $1,452,000 (24%) compared to such costs for the comparable
period of fiscal year 1999.  The decrease is due to the lower volume as
mentioned above which resulted in lower subcontracted efforts.

     Net service revenue is derived by deducting the cost of purchased
services from the gross revenue.  Versar considers it appropriate to analyze
operating margins and other ratios in relation to net service revenue because
such revenues reflect the actual work performed by the Company.  Net service
revenue decreased by 3% during the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 compared
to the second quarter of fiscal year 1999.  The decrease is due reduced markup
on purchased services and materials as a result of the gross revenue and
project overruns.

     Direct costs of services and overhead include the cost to Versar of
direct and overhead staff, including recoverable overhead and unallowable
costs that are directly attributable to contracts.  The percentage of these
costs to net service revenue increased to 81.3% in the second quarter of
fiscal year 2000 compared to 79.9% in the second quarter of fiscal year 1999.
The increase is due to lower direct labor utilization during the quarter.

                                       9

<PAGE>

ITEM 2        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (continued)

     Selling, general and administrative expenses approximated 16.2% of net
service revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 compared to 14.9% in
the second quarter of fiscal year 1999.  The increase is due to the lower net
service revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 and 6% higher
selling, general and administrative expenses from last fiscal year.

     Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 was
$225,000, a decrease of $261,000 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year
1999.  The decrease is the result of the lower gross revenues and higher
direct costs of services and selling, general and administrative expenses
during the quarter.

     Interest expense during the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 decreased
by $48,000 compared to such costs for the comparable period of the previous
year.  The decrease is due to the reduction of term debt of $663,000 compared
to last fiscal year and reduced borrowings on the Company's line of credit.

     Income tax benefit during the second quarter of fiscal year 2000
decreased by $114,000 compared to the comparable period of the previous year.
The decrease in benefit is the result of a lower reversal of the Company's tax
valuation allowance.  The Company decreased its valuation allowance during the
second quarter of fiscal year 2000 by $200,000 compared to the reversal of
$400,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 1999.  The lower reduction in
the valuation allowance is the result of a decrease in earnings during the
quarter.

     Versar's net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2000 was
$274,000 compared to $601,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 1999.  The
decrease is due to the lower gross revenue, and higher direct costs of
services and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Six Month Comparison of Fiscal Years 2000 and 1999
--------------------------------------------------

     Versar's gross revenue for the first six months of fiscal year 2000
totaled $27,734,000, a decrease of $2,544,000 (8%) compared to gross revenue
for the comparable period of the previous year.   Fifty percent of the
decrease is due to the winding down of a remedial construction project in the
Company's Northeast operations.  The balance of the decrease came from lower
commercial volume in the Company's Midwest and Pacific operations as well as
lower revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 due to the delayed
startup of a follow-on contract with the EPA.

     Purchased services and materials for the first six months of fiscal year
2000 decreased by $1,599,000 (15%) compared to such costs for the comparable
period of fiscal year 1999.  Sixty-seven percent of the decrease is
attributable to a reduction in subcontractor costs associated with the winding
down of a remedial construction contract in the Company's Northeast
operations.  The balance is primarily due to lower commercial subcontracted
efforts as mentioned above.

     Net service revenue for the first six months of fiscal year 2000
decreased by 5% compared to the first six months of fiscal year 1999.  The
decrease is due to a 2% decrease in overall labor utilization in fiscal year
2000 and reduced markup associated with the decrease in purchased services and
materials.

     Direct costs of services and overhead as a percentage of net service
revenue decreased to 79.5% in the first six months of fiscal year 2000
compared to 80.4% in the previous year.  The decrease is attributable to
efforts to reduce overhead costs in the operating units to balance out the
decrease in volume.

<PAGE>

ITEM 2        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (continued)

     Selling, general and administrative expenses approximated 16.7% of net
service revenue for the first six months of fiscal year 2000 compared to 13.7%
in the first six months of fiscal year 1999.  The increase occurred primarily
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000.  Thirty-five percent of the increase
was in the Company's GEOMET subsidiary.  The balance was due to higher
marketing activities in fiscal year 2000 and costs reductions that were put in
place in the first six months of fiscal year 1999.

     Operating income for the first six months of fiscal year 2000 decreased
by $437,000 compared to costs for the comparable period of the previous year.
The decrease is due to the lower net service revenue and higher selling,
general and administrative expenses as mentioned above.

     Interest expense during the first six months of fiscal year 2000
increased by $45,000 compared to costs for the comparable period of the
previous year.  The increase is due to higher utilization of the Company's
line of credit during the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 and higher
interest rates associated with the increase in the prime rate of interest
compared to last fiscal year.

     Income tax benefit decreased by $5,000 for the first six months of
fiscal year 2000 due to lower income for the six month period.  The Company
reduced the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets by $200,000 and
$400,000 in the first six months of fiscal year 2000 and 1999, respectively.

     Versar's net income for the first six months of fiscal year 2000 was
$454,000 compared to $941,000 for the first six months of fiscal year 1999.
The decrease is due to the lower net service revenue and higher selling,
general and administrative expenses as mentioned above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     The Company's working capital at December 31, 1999 approximated
$7,956,000 or $447,000 (5%) lower than at June 30, 1999.  The decrease is
primarily due to the payments on the Company's long term line of credit.  In
additon, the Company's current ratio at December 31, 1999 was 2.09 to 1, which
was 19 points higher than June 30, 1999 due to improved receivables
collections and reduced current liabilities.

     Versar's line of credit provides for advances up to $6,500,000 based on
qualifying receivables less the $750,000 guarantee of Sarnia's term loan by
Versar and the outstanding acquisition loan balance described below.  Interest
on the borrowings is based on the lower of the 30 day London Interbank Offered
Rate (LIBOR) plus two hundred and eighty basis points (9.27% at December 31,
1999) or the prime rate.  A commitment fee of one quarter of one percent (.25%)
on the unused portion of the line of credit is also charged.  The line is
guaranteed by the Company and each subsidiary individually and is collectively
secured by accounts receivable, equipment and intangibles, plus all insurance
policies on property constituting collateral. Unused borrowing availability at
December 31, 1999 was approximately $1.3 million.  Advances under the line are
due upon demand or on November 30, 2001.  The loan has certain covenants
related to maintenance of financial ratios.  The Company was in compliance with
these covenants as of December 31, 1999.  Because the line of credit has a term
of greater than one year, it has been classified as long-term on the balance
sheet.  Management believes that cash generated by operations and borrowings
available from the bank line of credit will be adequate to meet the working
capital needs for fiscal year 2000.

                                     11

<PAGE>

ITEM 2        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (continued)

     Versar obtained a $2,000,000 promissory note from NationsBank on April
30, 1997 for the acquisition of SMC.  The interest on the note is based on
prime rate plus one half of one percent (.50%) per annum (9% at December 31,
1999).  Principal payment commenced on May 31, 1997 and it is scheduled to be
paid in full on April 30, 2000.  At December 31, 1999, approximately $312,500
was the remaining balance due on this loan.

     Versar guarantees certain debt of Sarnia Corporation.  Sarnia's balance
due on the term loan was $750,000 at December 31, 1999 and, accordingly,
Versar reduced its reserve to $750,000 as of December 31, 1999.  As the term
loan is repaid, the reserve will be reduced and added to Versar's equity.

     Approximately $300,000 will be required for capital expenditures during
the remainder of fiscal year 2000 for the Company to upgrade and enhance it's
project management and financial reporting system.  The Company's decision to
upgrade to Deltek's Costpoint relational database project management software
will greatly enhance the financial reporting capabilities of the Company.  The
Company intends to complete the implementation by the end of fiscal year 2000.
The Company plans to utilize funds generated from operations and third party
financing for the conversion of the financial reporting system.

Impact of Inflation
-------------------

     Versar seeks to protect itself from the effects of inflation.  The
majority of contracts the Company performs are for a period of a year or less
or are cost plus fixed-fee type contracts and, accordingly, are less
susceptible to the effects of inflation.  Multi-year contracts provide for
projected increases in labor and other costs.

Business Segment
----------------

     Versar currently has three business segments:  environmental services,
energy conservation services, and industrial and public infrastructure
services.  Currently, the energy conservation and facility infrastructure
services segments do not meet the segment reporting requirements.  The energy
conservation and facility infrastructure services segments are collectively
less than 10% of consolidated revenues, operating profit and identifiable
assets. During fiscal year 2000, the growth in these segments may require the
Company to provide financial disclosure.

Year 2000
---------

     Certain computer programs have been written using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year, which could result in the computer
recognizing a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.
This, in turn, could result in major system failures and in miscalculations,
and is generally referred to as the "Year 2000" problem.  On August 4, 1998,
the Company's Board of Directors adopted a comprehensive strategy for
achieving Year 2000 readiness program for Versar and its subsidiaries.  The
Versar Year 2000 program was designed to (a) identify computer systems
(hardware and software) and other equipment (telecommunications equipment and
technical field equipment) that may fail to recognize or properly process data
on or after January 1, 2000; (b) upgrade or replace all non-compliant systems,
components, and software; and (c) evaluate the Year 2000 readiness of key
clients and critical vendors and service providers.

<PAGE>

ITEM 2        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (continued)

      Management has implemented an eight-step program to identify both
internally and externally the extent of any Year 2000 problem, the cost to the
Company to mitigate any Year 2000 effects and identify any significant client
or subcontractor compliance issues.  These actions included a comprehensive
survey of internal equipment, systems and software to identify potential Year
2000 failures, including a physical inventory of such equipment and products.
We surveyed suppliers of such equipment, systems and software on their Year
2000 readiness and any requirements for change or upgrade.  The Company then
implemented a company-wide program to replace, modify, upgrade and test such
equipment, systems and software.

     In the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 1999, the Company and
its subsidiaries modified its financial reporting and project management
software, and computer systems  to be Year 2000 ready.  The estimated total
costs incurred for the Year 2000 program for hardware, software and internal
costs is approximately $175,000.  To the best of management's knowledge, the
Company did not experience any Year 2000 related failures nor did any of its
major customers or vendors experience a Year 2000 failure that had any impact
on the Company, its operations or financial performance.


                         PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     At the end of December 1998, the Company was served with a complaint
entitled Servi-Sure Corporation v. Versar, Inc., No. 98L14567, filed in the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois.  In the complaint, Plaintiff alleges
damages from a property investigation conducted in December 1988 based upon
breach of contract and negligence.  The Company has moved to dismiss the
lawsuit on the basis of the Illinois statute of limitations and other grounds.
The Company has conducted additional site investigations.  Based on the
results, the parties continue to discuss settlement.  Based upon an evaluation
of the facts and discussions with outside counsel, management does not believe
this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial condition and results of operations.

     Versar and its subsidiaries are parties to various other legal actions
arising in the normal course of business.  The Company believes that an
ultimate unfavorable resolution of these other legal actions will not have a
material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition and results of
operations.

Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Stockholders

     The Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") was
held on December 1, 1999.  The matters voted on at the Annual Meeting were as
