            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

Introduction

      A few relatively large contracts in any one business segment in any
fiscal year can make any segment generate relatively large revenues in that
year.  Because disproportionate generation of income has occurred
periodically throughout the existence of ETSI, the Company's strategy has
been to offer a variety of services and maintain a flexible staff capable of
executing different tasks.  Services are tied to different markets, such as
new pollution control equipment expenditures by industry, government funding
or legislative enforcement. In addition, ETSI continually markets its
services through brochures, seminars and attendance at trade shows and
conferences and by telemarketing.  ETSI attempts to increase its business in
the aggregate.  As the United States experiences economic and legislative
cycles, the demand for each of the Company's services fluctuates accordingly.

      ETSI has divided its revenues into four meaningful categories; (a)
services - encompassing field and analytical testing, regulatory assistance
and monitoring; (b) consulting/engineering - encompassing consulting and
engineering services and educational areas; (c) products; and (d)
construction. 

First Quarter Fiscal 1997 Compared to First quarter Fiscal 1996

      Revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were $6,239,988 compared to
$5,037,692 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 for a 24% increase.

      Total testing service revenues were $1,402,653 for the current quarter
for a 14% decrease from the revenues reported for the first quarter of fiscal
1996 of $1,635,975.  Field testing revenues were $523,695 compared to
$583,329 for the preceding first quarter. Six customers accounted for 54% of
the field testing which included two utility power plants, three waste
incinerator plants and an oil refinery. Field testing revenues were lower for
the quarter mainly due to a deeper than normal seasonal dip that commonly
occurs during early summer as customers vacations and maintenance shut-downs
begin. 

      Revenues for the analytical laboratory for the first quarter of fiscal
1997 were $787,284 compared to $818,671 for the same quarter of fiscal 1996
for a 4% decrease.  This decrease occurred in the commercial sales and is
primary attributable to delays in remediation site plan approvals by the EPA
regions.  Another factor is price erosion that has occurred on a national
basis in the environmental contract laboratory markets. The laboratory
anticipates that sales will improve in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 as a
result of a Army Corps remediation project and a full schedule of sample
shipments through the EPA Office of Water.

      Regulatory assistance revenues were down sharply to $71,874 from
$184,604 revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. This decrease
included 29% decrease in the number of customers and with lower dollar value
of the contracts completed. The major customer for the quarter was electronic
testing equipment manufacturer for 34% of the regulatory assistance revenues.
Revenues for monitoring were $19,800 compared to $49,371 for the previous
first quarter as its only customer was a chemical plant.

      Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 for consulting and
engineering services were $83,935 compared to $164,565 for the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 for a 49% decrease.  Consulting service revenues were $3,282
compared to $83,206 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 for a 96% decrease
which was the result of completion of a contract with a government contractor
consultant and the lack of a backlog of new contracts. Engineering services
had revenues of $75,813 compared to $69,892 for the first quarter of fiscal
1996 for an 8% increase.  An iron foundry contributed 81% of the engineering
revenues.  Revenues for sales of books for the current quarter were $4,175
compared to $10,776 the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and revenues for
seminars for $665 compared to $691 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. 

      Product revenues for the first quarter were $6,239 which included BPM
hardware sales to a filter media manufacturer compared to revenues for the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 of $1,000.  

      Total construction service revenues for the first quarter of fiscal
1997 were $4,747,161 compared to $3,236,152 for the first quarter of fiscal
1996 for a 47% increase. The increase was attributed to increases in the
utility construction of 5% and the service department of 7%.  Commercial work
was also secured in both of these areas which added to the sales. ETS Liner,
Inc., a subsidiary of ETSW had revenues of $923,209 or 19% of the total
construction revenues.

      Gross profit for ETSI for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was
$1,187,871 for 19% of the revenues compared to $668,913 or 13% of revenues
for the fiscal 1996 first quarter. This increase in gross profit was the
result of decreased cost as part of the Company's effort to reduce overhead. 

      Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,007,817 for the
current quarter compared to $804,577 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.
The increased general and administrative cost includes the additions of the
Florida office and Fairfax, Virginia office.

      Miscellaneous income for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was $9,033
compared to $12,613 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Miscellaneous
income for the quarter included earned interest from savings on deposit,
rental of equipment and sale of scrap. Interest expense for the quarter was
$87,966 compared to $100,915 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Interest
expense represents interest incurred for utilization of the credit line and
interest paid in financing of capital equipment.  

      The first quarter of fiscal 1997 produced a net income of $101,121
compared to a net loss of $203,246 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

Liquidity And Capital Resources As Of The End Of The First Quarter of Fiscal
Year 1997

      Although revenues for some of the business segments were below the
projections for the quarter, the testing service appears to be strong and
steady for the second quarter. ETS has embarked upon a strong marketing
effort to penetrate "compliance assistance" service to industrial clients. 
This is believed to be the new direction in which regulatory assistance
activities are moving. The analytical laboratory anticipates sales will
improve in the second quarter due to several factors, including the start-up
of an Army Corps remediation project and a full schedule of sample shipments
through the EPA Office of Water.  ETSW has also received significant orders
for two Ultraliner projects totaling in excess of $500,000. 

      Working capital for ETSI include a credit line servicing ETS, ETSAS-
Roanoke office and ETSW in Richmond, VA for an aggregate amount of $1,500,000
of which $1,371,605 was being utilized at August 31, 1996.

      Major components of cash flow used in operating activities included
increase in accounts receivable of $670,593 which was offset by the net
income, depreciation and an increase in accounts payable resulting in net
cash used of $210,984. The net cash used in investing activities included the
purchase of property, plant and equipment of $203,884 and patent cost of
$2,298 for a total of $206,182. Net cash provided by financing activities for
the quarter was $378,913. Major components included proceeds from the credit
line of $300,178 and increase in notes payable to affiliates of $107,942
offset by principal payments on long-term debt of $85,578.  Net cash and cash
equivalents at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $83,460.

      Backlog at August 31, 1996 was $5,609,988 compared to $5,045,918 at
August 31, 1995. ETSI held open task orders from various clients, principally
government agencies.  If all the work under these open orders is authorized,
the Company estimates that its backlog would increase by $1,727,201 to a
total of $7,337,189. At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the
Company held open orders of $4,229,369 for a total of $9,275,287.  This
decrease in total backlog reflects decreases mainly in government activity
for testing services.  New orders for the three months ending August 31, 1996
were $4,966,475 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1996 of 5,571,075. 

      Most of ETSI's contracts are of short-term duration and are completed
within a few months of the order or award.  Certain contracts such as those
from utilities are annual and are completed in stages against task orders. 
Government agencies often issue open orders for which subsequent task orders
are issued.  There are no conditions precedent to the issuance of task orders
and they are issued pursuant to the specific orders of the client for the
service.  Experience shows that substantially all open orders ultimately
result in task orders and at times have exceeded the amount of the open
order.  There can be no assurance that existing contracts or future orders
containing open orders will result in task orders covering the entire
contractual amounts.  ETSI is not aware of any significant unrecognized cost
to complete any open contract.
