                                  TENERA, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             June 30, 2000 and 1999
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

      TENERA, Inc.(the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is the parent company
of the subsidiaries described below.

      TENERA Rocky Flats,  LLC ("Rocky  Flats"),  a Colorado  limited  liability
company,  was formed by the Company in 1995, to provide  consulting  services in
connection with  participation in the Performance Based  Integrating  Management
Contract  ("Rocky Flats  Contract") at the Department of Energy's  ("DOE") Rocky
Flats Environmental Technology Site. In May 1997, the Company's other government
business  was  consolidated  within the Rocky Flats  subsidiary.  This  business
provides  consulting  and  management  services to the DOE  directly and through
subcontracts with DOE prime  contractors.  These services provide  assistance to
DOE-owned  nuclear   facilities  in  devising,   implementing,   and  monitoring
strategies  to  upgrade  from  an   operational,   safety,   and   environmental
perspective.

      TENERA Energy, LLC ("Energy"),  a Delaware limited liability company,  was
formed by the Company in May 1997, to consolidate its commercial  electric power
utility business into a separate legal structure. The Energy subsidiary provides
professional   technical  consulting  and  management  services,   environmental
outsourcing and monitoring, risk analysis and modeling.

      TENERA  GoTrain.Net,  LLC  ("GoTrain.net"),  a Delaware limited  liability
company, was formed by the Company in October 1999, as a joint venture operation
to design, develop, market, and maintain a web-based Corporate Distance Learning
Center ("CDLC").  The joint venture was established  with its minority  interest
partner,   SoBran,   Inc.,  an  Ohio   corporation   specializing   in  Internet
technologies.  In February 2000, the Company  purchased  certain  Internet-based
development assets from SoBran,  Inc. for $307,000,  including SoBran's minority
interest  in  GoTrain.net.  The  purchase  consideration  was  allocated  to the
acquired assets based on deemed fair values as follows:  computer  equipment and
software  ($289,000);  office equipment  ($18,000).  After the asset acquisition
from SoBran, the Company  consolidated its technology enhanced training services
group into GoTrain.net.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and are unaudited.  All
intercompany  accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  In the opinion of
management,   all  adjustments  (which  include  normal  recurring  adjustments)
necessary to present  fairly the financial  position at March 31, 2000,  and the
results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, have been made. For further  information,  refer to the financial
statements and notes thereto  contained in TENERA,  Inc.'s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year  ended  December  31,  1999,  filed  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.

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

      Cash and Cash  Equivalents.  Cash and cash  equivalents  consist of demand
deposits,  money market accounts,  and commercial paper issued by companies with
strong credit  ratings.  Cash and cash  equivalents  are carried at cost,  which
approximates fair value. The Company includes in cash and cash equivalents,  all
short-term,  highly  liquid  investments  which  mature  within  three months of
acquisition.




                                       5




<PAGE>



      Concentrations  of Credit  Risk and  Credit  Risk  Evaluations.  Financial
instruments,  which potentially  subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk,  consist  primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts  receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents  consist  principally of demand deposit,  money market
accounts,  and commercial  paper issued by companies with strong credit ratings.
Cash and cash equivalents are held with various domestic financial  institutions
with high  credit  standing.  The Company has not  experienced  any  significant
losses on its cash and cash  equivalents.  The Company  conducts  business  with
companies  in various  industries  primarily in the United  States.  The Company
performs  ongoing  credit  evaluations  of its customers and generally  does not
require  collateral.  Allowances are maintained for potential credit issues, and
such losses to date have been within management's expectations.

      Property  and  Equipment.  Property  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost
($2,775,000   and   $2,531,000   at  June  30,  2000  and   December  31,  1999,
respectively),  net of accumulated  depreciation  ($2,372,000  and $2,294,000 at
June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999,  respectively).  Depreciation is calculated
using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from
three to five years.

      Other  Assets.   Included  in  this  asset   category  are  the  costs  of
internal-use  CDLC  software,  both acquired and  developed by the Company,  and
certain  software costs related to the  development of the Company's  technology
enhanced training courses.  These costs have been capitalized in accordance with
Statement  of Position  98-1,  "Accounting  for the Costs of  Computer  Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use", and Financial  Accounting Standards No.
86,  "Accounting  for the Costs of  Computer  Software  to be Sold,  Leased,  or
Otherwise  Marketed".  The Company capitalized $389,000 of software costs during
the first six months of 2000.  The  estimated  useful life of costs  capitalized
during 2000 ranged from one to three years.  For the six month period ended June
30, 2000, the  amortization of capitalized  costs totaled  $51,000.  No software
development costs were capitalized in the first half of 1999.

      Revenue.  The Company  primarily offers its services to the electric power
industry and the DOE.  Revenue from  time-and-material  and cost plus  fixed-fee
contracts is recognized when costs are incurred;  from fixed-price contracts, on
the basis of percentage of work completed  (measured by costs incurred  relative
to total estimated project costs).

      The Company performs credit evaluations of these clients and normally does
not require collateral.  Reserves are maintained for potential sales adjustments
and  credit  losses;   such  losses  to  date  have  been  within   management's
expectations.  Actual  revenue and cost of contracts in progress may differ from
management  estimates  and such  differences  could be material to the financial
statements.

       During the first six months of 2000,  two clients  accounted  for 60% and
13% of the  Company's  total  revenue.  During  the same  period in 1999,  three
clients accounted for 31%, 26% and 18% of the total revenue.

      Income Taxes.  The Company uses the liability method to account for income
taxes.  Under this method,  deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are determined
based on  differences  between  financial  reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates and laws  that will be in effect  when the  differences  are  expected  to
reverse.

      Per Share  Computation.  Basic  earnings per share is computed by dividing
net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities
by adding other common stock equivalents,  including stock options, warrants and
convertible  preferred  stock,  in the weighted  average number of common shares
outstanding for a period, if dilutive.

     Comprehensive  Income.  The Company does not have  material  components  of
other  comprehensive  income.  Therefore,  comprehensive  income is equal to net
earnings reported for all periods presented.

      Disclosures  about  Segments  of  an  Enterprise.   The  Company  has  one
reportable  operating  segment,  which is  providing  services  with  respect to
operations,  maintenance,  safety,  strategic business and risk management,  and
environmental/ecological issues for electric utility and DOE facilities.

      Recent Accounting  Pronouncements.  In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards  Board issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 133,
"Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities"  ("FAS 133"),
which establishes  accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and  hedging  activities.   FAS  133  requires  that  an  entity  recognize  all
derivatives  as either  assets or  liabilities  in the balance sheet and measure
those  instruments at fair value.  The Company will be required to adopt FAS 133
effective  January 1, 2001.  Management  of the  Company  does not  believe  the
adoption  of  this  statement  will  have a  material  effect  on the  Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

      In December  1999, the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB
101").  SAB  101  provides  guidance  on  the  recognition,   presentation,  and
disclosure  of revenue in financial  statements of all public  registrants.  Any
change  in  the  Company's  revenue   recognition   policy  resulting  from  the
interpretation of SAB 101 would be reported as a change in accounting  principle
in the  quarter  ending  December  31,  2000.  While the  Company  has not fully
assessed the impact of the adoption of SAB 101,  the  implementation  of SAB 101
may have a material  adverse impact on its reported  results of operations  from
longer term contracts.

      Reclassifications.  Certain reclassifications of  prior  year amounts have
been made to conform with current presentation.

Results of Operations

      Net earnings before income tax expense for the three and six-month periods
ended  June 30,  2000 were  $82,000  and  $282,000,  respectively,  compared  to
$709,000 and $1,244,000, respectively, for the same periods in 1999.

      Revenue  decreased  11% in the second  quarter and 4% in the first half of
2000,  compared  to a year ago,  primarily  due to a decline  in the  commercial
strategic  consulting  business  area.  For the second quarter and first half of
2000, the  concentration of revenue from the government  sector increased to 85%
and 86% of total revenue, respectively, from 81% and 82% for the same periods in
1999.

      Direct  costs  were lower in the  second  quarter  and first half of 2000,
compared to a year ago,  primarily as a result of decreased revenue  generation.
However,  gross  margins  decreased to 20% for the three and  six-month  periods
ended June 30, 2000, from 23% for the same periods in 1999,  primarily due to an
increase in the proportion of lower margin government projects.

      General  and  administrative  costs  were 7% and 13%  higher in the second
quarter and first half of 2000, respectively,  compared to a year ago, primarily
reflecting  increased  costs  associated  with the  infrastructure  and business
development of GoTrain.net's  technology  enhanced  training  services,  and the
purchase of the Internet-based  development and support business of SoBran, Inc.
(see Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

       Net  interest  income  in 2000  and  1999  represents  earnings  from the
investment of cash balances in short-term,  high-quality,  money market accounts
and  corporate  debt  instruments.  The higher net interest  income in 2000,  as
compared to a year ago,  primarily  reflects  larger  average cash  balances and
higher  interest rates.  The Company had no borrowings  under its line of credit
during the first three months of 2000 and 1999.

      During  the  second  quarter  and first six  months of 2000,  the  Company
received written contracts and orders having an estimated value of approximately
$5.4 million and $14.9 million,  respectively.  The activity  primarily reflects
the  additional  funding of the  Company's  contract  at the DOE's  Rocky  Flats
Environmental  Technology Site, a $.4 million extension of a consulting contract
with a large electric  utility client,  and a $.6 million  GoTrain.net  contract
involving the  development of technology  enhanced  training  courses and future
CDLC  usage.   Contracted   backlog  for  current,   active   projects   totaled
approximately  $13.2  million as of June 30,  2000,  down from $15.3  million at
December 31, 1999.

      In July 2000, the prime  contractor at the Rocky Flats Site requested that
the Company,  along with other Rocky Flats  subcontractors,  submit proposals to
recompete  the  professional  support  services  presently  performed  by  these
companies at the Site.  The Company's  current Rocky Flats contract is scheduled
to expire September 30, 2000.  Awards for the new contracts,  which are expected
to be six years in duration,  will be known in the fourth quarter of 2000. Until
the  Company's  award of a new  contract  is  granted,  the Company is unable to
predict the effect of such recompetition on its future revenue and income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Cash and cash  equivalents  decreased by $458,000 during the first half of
2000.  The  decrease  was due to cash used by  operations  ($84,000)and  the net
acquisition  of fixed assets  ($385,000)  associated  primarily  with the SoBran
asset  acquisition  (see Note 1),  partially  offset by cash  received  from the
exercising of stock options ($11,000).

      Receivables  decreased by $33,000 from December 31, 1999, primarily due to
a decrease in the rate of revenue  generation in the first half of 2000,  offset
by a temporary  slowdown in collections  related to the Rocky Flats Contract due
to an administrative change imposed by the contractor in the second quarter. The
allowance  for sales  adjustments  decreased by $114,000 from December 31, 1999,
related to the closure and settlement of old government contracts.

      Accounts  payable  decreased by $391,000 since the end of 1999,  primarily
associated  with lower  direct  costs  supporting  decreased  revenues.  Accrued
compensation  and related  expenses  increased  by  $289,000  during the period,
primarily  reflecting  the annual merit  increases in employee  salaries,  fewer
holiday  and  vacation  days in the first  half of the year,  and the  growth of
GoTrain.net personnel.

      No cash dividend was declared in the first six months of 2000.

      The impact of  inflation  on project  revenue and costs of the Company was
minimal.

      At June 30, 2000,  the Company had  available  $2,500,000  of a $3,000,000
revolving loan facility.  The Company has no outstanding  borrowing  against the
line;  however,  $500,000 is assigned to support standby letters of credit.  The
line of credit expires in May 2001.

      Management believes that cash expected to be generated by operations,  the
Company's  working  capital,  and its loan  facility  are  adequate  to meet its
anticipated  liquidity  needs  through  the next  twelve  months.  In the event,
however,  that it elects to accelerate  investment in  GoTrain.net,  the Company
will be required to seek alternative sources of capital to meet such needs.
