(3)  Restatement of Consolidated  Financial Statements The 10-QSB for the period
     ended  January 31, 1997 is being  restated to reflect a charge for $792,000
     of previously  deferred  restructuring  costs in the second fiscal  quarter
     ended  October  31,  1996  as  well  as  include  those  costs,  previously
     categorized as other expenses,  $551,000,  as costs included in determining
     income  from  operations.  The  restatement  resulted  in a decrease in net
     income and  accumulated  deficit of $792,000,  or a loss of $.09 per share.
     The Company originally reported,  $625,775, or $.07 earnings per share, for
     the nine month period ended  January 31, 1997.  These numbers were restated
     to a net loss of  $(166,225),  or (.02) loss per  share.for  the nine month
     period then ended

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)


(3)  Restatement of  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  (cont'd) In connection
     with the April 30, 1997 year end accounting closing and subsequent analysis
     performed,  it was determined that errors had been made with respect to the
     determination  of the carrying value of the deferred income tax asset as of
     April 30, 1996 and April 30, 1995.  In addition,  $432,000 of  compensation
     paid to a  former  officer  of the  Company  had  been  accounted  for as a
     reduction  of  additional  paid-in  capital  during  the year  ended  April
     30,1996.  The  effect  of these  changes  resulted  in an  increase  to the
     Company's  Accumulated  Deficit of  $3,016,000,  a decrease in the Deferred
     income tax asset of  $2,584,000,  and an increase of $432,000 in additional
     paid-in capital as of April 30, 1996. The Company  further  determined that
     the January 31, 1997  10-QSB/A-1  included  additional  misstatements.  The
     accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  restated  to
     correct the  errors,  resulting  in the  following  changes to  accumulated
     deficit as of January 31, 1997 and the related consolidated  statements for
     the nine month period then ended.

     In addition to the above, the Company reclassified certain income statement
     and balance  sheet amounts to account for an  unconsolidated  subsidiary in
     the process of  liquidation,  Laboratory  Testing  Services,  Inc.,  on the
     equity basis, which had previously been consolidated.  Reclassifications of
     $108,000  for the each of the  quarters  ended July 31,  1996,  October 31,
     1996,  and  January  31,  1997,  were made  decreasing  selling and general
     administrative  expenses and increasing cost of sales to reflect the proper
     classification of certain accounts.

(4)  Subsequent  Event On February 24, 1997, the Company acquired North Atlantic
     Laboratories,   Inc.  ("NAL")  in  a  merger   transaction  for  restricted
     convertible preferred stock and cash totaling approximately  $1,300,000 and
     $200,000, respectively. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase
     and,  as  such,  will  include  the  financial  condition  and  results  of
     operations of NAL in the Company's  consolidated  financial statements from
     the date of acquisition.  NAL provides  certified  environmental  training,
     laboratory testing and consulting  services to its customer base throughout
     the New York Metropolitan area.

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

The following discussion of the fiscal quarters ended January 31, 1997 and 1996,
is being updated as of September 29, 1997 and should be read in conjunction with
the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results  from  operations  for the nine months  showed  revenues and net loss of
$12,268,000  and  $(1,465,000)  versus  revenues of $7,993,000 and net income of
$148,000  for the same period last year.  The results for the three months ended
January 31, 1997 showed  revenues  of  $4,016,000  and a net loss of  $(550,000)
versus  revenues of $1,621,000  and a net loss of $(394,000)  for the comparable
period in fiscal 1996.  Revenues  for the nine and three  months  ended  January
31,1996 increased by $4,275,000,  or 53%, and $2,395,000, or 148%, respectively,
when  compared to the same periods in fiscal  1996.  The growth in revenues is a
direct result of the Company's continued expansion of environmental  services as
well as the customer  base to which it provides  such  services.  The nine month
loss results from non-recurring  charges for management  restructuring  costs of
$1,343,000.  The three month loss  results  from the  non-recurring  charges for
management  restructuring  costs of  $150,000  as well as  depressed  margins on
certain large projects, specifically the 60 Broad Street Asbestos project in New
York City.

Gross  profit  decreased  to 24%  compared  to 39% for the first nine  months of
fiscal 1996.  Gross profit  decreased from 37% to 15% when comparing the quarter
ended last year to this year.  The decrease in gross profit  percentage  results
from a change in the mix of work compared to last year as well as certain larger
contracts that normally carry a slightly lower gross profit margin.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased slightly by $45,000 from
the first nine  months of last year  compared  to the first nine  months of this
year. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses were approximately 26% and 40%
for the nine  months  ended  January 31,  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  For the
quarter ended January 31, 1997,  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses
decreased  $171,000  compared to the same period last year.  These expenses were
approximately  24% and 71% of revenues for the three  months  ended  January 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively.  This decrease is the direct result of management's
continuing  efforts  to  streamline  overhead  and  build a more  efficient  and
profitable operation.

Management  restructuring  costs for the nine  months  ended  January  31,  1997
includes  non-recurring  charges for the  termination  agreements  of the former
Chief  Operating  Officer ("COO),  Chief  Executive  Officer ("CEO") and Special
Securities  Counsel to the Company  ("SCC") for $594,000,  $216,000 and $35,000,
respectively.  In  addition,   non-recurring  legal  and  professional  fees  of
approximately $498,000 have resulted from matters related to NASDAQ, the SEC and
federal  government  issues  subsequent to the  indictment of the former COO and
SSC.  Management  believes these costs should become  significantly  less in the
future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working  capital at January 31, 1997 including  cash, was $1,049,000 an increase
of $343,000 or 49% from April 30, 1996. Cash and accounts  receivable  increased
by $391,000 and  $277,000,  respectively  from April 30, 1996. As of January 31,
1997, the current ratio was 1.4:1.  This  represents an improvement in liquidity
from April 30, 1996 where such ratio was 1.35:1. However, management is actively
seeking a working  capital credit facility to finance  accounts  receivable that
will enhance cash flow and business growth.

The Company  believes that the current  levels of working  capital and liquidity
will not be sufficient to support the continued increase in its revenue base and
scope of operations.  In this regard,  management will be seeking new sources of
permanent capital through domestic private  placements of equity and convertible
debt as well as establishing a working capital credit facility with a local bank
to finance accounts receivable to enhance cash flow and business growth.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Pending Litigation

In November,  1994,  the Company  commenced an action in New York State  Supreme
Court to recover $250,000 previously advanced to Mohave Shores Development, Inc.
("Mohave"). Management intends to continue aggressively pursuing this matter.

In a civil action which was commenced in August 1995 in United  States  District
Court,  the Company,  various current and prior officers and directors have been
named in a lawsuit with various  shareholders  from Seattle,  Washington who had
purchased  shares  through  the  same  broker.   The  lawsuit  contains  various
allegations  asserting  misrepresentations  to the broker and  non-disclosure in
public filings of various Reg-S and S-8 stock issuances made by the Company from
August  through  October  1994.  The officers and  directors  named in the civil
action were Messrs. Mangan (Chief Operating Officer), Varsi (President),  Lehrer
(Chairman & CEO), Mazzella (Director) and O'Reilly (Director). Management denies
any  wrongdoing,  asserts  that the  complaint  is without  merit and intends to
vigorously defend these claims. The Company settled this lawsuit in May 1997 for
approximately  $120,000,  net of insurance  proceeds,  with monthly  payments of
$6,250.
