     legal   actions  arising  in  the  normal  course  of  their
     businesses,  some  of which involve claims  for  substantial
     sums.   The  Company believes that the disposition  of  such
     actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not  have  a
     material   adverse  effect  on  the  consolidated  financial
     position or results of operations of the Company taken as  a
     whole.

Overview and Outlook
- --------------------

As  discussed  in  more detail with the comparison  of  each
segment's  results, the Company's net loss was reduced  from
$10.9  million during the nine month period ended  July  31,
1995 to $4.7 million during the nine month period ended July
31,  1996.  This was accomplished primarily through overhead
reductions  within  Metcalf  & Eddy,  Research-Cottrell  and
Corporate.   Sales  have increased from  $450.5  million  to
$503.9  million primarily due to increased service  revenues
associated  with  PSG's contract with PRASA.   At  July  31,
1996,  the Company's backlog was approximately $1.1  billion
and  consisted of PSG ($782 million), Metcalf &  Eddy  ($233
million) and Research-Cottrell ($102 million).

The   Company  is  experiencing  delays  in  awards  of  new
contracts in each of its segments and therefore is  revising
its  previously  disclosed full year  earnings  expectations
from a slightly positive consolidated net income to a slight
consolidated net loss, which remains an improvement over the
prior  full year loss of $8 million.  This continuing  trend
of  improved results is contingent upon the level and timing
of  additional contracts in each segment, the achievement of
the  expected  sales  level  increases,  cost  control,  the
execution of the expected new projects and those projects in
backlog within the most recent cost estimates as well as the
favorable  resolution  of existing  claims  arising  in  the
ordinary course of business.

PSG (Contract Operations)
- ------------------------
     
Operating  income was $2.1 million and $6.1  million  during
the  three  and nine month periods ended July 31,  1996  and
reflects  a  $.1 million and $.3 million decrease  from  the
comparable prior periods due to additional selling,  general
and  administrative  expenses as well  as  depreciation  and
amortization  related  to  growth  initiatives  which   were
partially off-set by higher gross margins.  The increase  in
PSG's sales is a result of the PRASA contract which has  not
had  a  proportional impact on operating  income.   Although
negotiations   are   progressing  slower   than   previously
expected, PSG continues to pursue new business opportunities
and   currently  has  several  proposals  pending  or  under
negotiation which if obtained, would significantly  increase
future sales.

Metcalf & Eddy
- --------------

Although sales have decreased by approximately 6% Metcalf  &
Eddy's  operating income increased by $.3 million  and  $3.7
million  during the three and nine month periods ended  July
31,  1996.   The  higher operating income  was  attributable
primarily  to  overhead personnel, facilities and  insurance
cost  reductions during the latter half of the prior  fiscal
year  which  resulted in a decrease in selling, general  and
administrative  expenses  ($3.1 million  and  $7.0  million,
respectively).   Sales decreased by $1.0  million  and  $9.7
million  during the three and nine month periods ended  July
31,  1996  as a result of delays in the release  of  certain
task  orders.   In  addition,  estimated  favorable  pricing
adjustments partially offset the impact of the reduced sales
volume.

Research-Cottrell
- -----------------

Operating  income decreased by $1.0 million and $.1  million
during the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 1996.
The  changes  in operating income reflects the decreases  in
margin  rates in most business units, especially during  the
three  month  period ended July 31, 1996.  The lower  margin
rates  reflect price pressures from highly competitive markets,
unfavorable product line mix and project execution to a lesser extent.
Partially off-setting the reduced margins are lower selling,
general and administrative expenses of $.6 million and  $2.8
million  during the three and nine month periods ended  July
31,  1996.  R-C International sales volume has continued  to
increase  by $4.5 and $8.8 million during the aforementioned
periods.    The   higher  sales  related  to   international
activities and several other business units have  been  more
than  off-set by lower sales volume in KVB of $10.4  million
during  the  nine month period ended July 31,  1996.   KVB's
lower  volume resulted from significantly reduced  shipments
and  services  as compared to the prior period  due  to  the
completion  of requirements by utility customers  under  the
1990 Clean Air Act.



<PAGE>

Corporate and Other
- -------------------

The    corporate   (unallocated)   selling,   general    and
administrative  expenses decreased by $.2 million  and  $1.4
million  during the three and nine month periods ended  July
31,  1996 due to cost reduction efforts, including personnel
related costs and professional fees.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
     
Cash used by operations for the nine month period ended July
31,  1996  amounted to $2.1 million primarily  due  to  cash
outlays  for  the  previously  established  unusual   charge
reserves.  The Company also utilized $13.5 million  of  cash
for   capital  expenditures,  investments  in  environmental
treatment facilities and other investment activities  during
the  period. These cash requirements were funded principally
through  proceeds from the prior year sale of its  hazardous
waste  transfer station operations and borrowings under  the
Company's  credit facility discussed below.  As a result  of
the  above,  net financial debt increased by  $16.8  million
during the nine month period ended July 31, 1996.

Under the Bank Credit Facility at July 31, 1996 the Company had
outstanding borrowings of $59.5 million (capacity of $71.7 million)
and issued and outstanding letters of credit of $26.7 million 
(capacity of $58.3 million).  The Company expects its operations
to generate sufficient cash in the near term to fund its estimated
working capital requirements, capital expenditures and cash outlays
for the reserves established in connection with fiscal year 1994 
unusual charges.  The Company believes that it has the ability to
manage its cash needs and stay within its borrowing capacity, and it is 
currently continuing its efforts to control its expenses as well as
reduce its working capital requirements.

During  August, 1996 the Company entered into a  seven  year
$60  million unsecured revolving credit facility with, Anjou
International   Company   ("Anjou  Credit   Facility"),   an
affiliated company.  The borrowings under the facility  bear
interest  at LIBOR plus .6%.  In conjunction with  this  new
financing  the  Company  reduced  its  more  expensive  $130
million   Senior  Secured  Credit  Facility  ("Bank   Credit
Facility")  to $50 million.  As of September  9,  1996,  the
Company's  outstanding  borrowings under  the  Anjou  Credit
Facility  and the Bank Credit Facility totaled  $50  million
and $20 million, respectively, and short-term investments of
$12 million.

The businesses of the Company have not historically required
significant  ongoing  capital  expenditures.  For  the  nine
months  ended July 31, 1996 and the years ended October  31,
1995  and 1994 total capital expenditures were $5.3 million,
$7.9  million and $5.5 million, respectively.  At  July  31,
1996,  the  Company  had  no material  outstanding  purchase
commitments for capital expenditures.

Statement Regarding Forward Looking Disclosures
- -----------------------------------------------

Statements  contained in this report, including Management's
Discussion and Analysis, are forward looking statements that
involve a number of risks and uncertainties which may  cause
the  Company's actual operating results to differ materially
from  the  projected amounts.  Among the factors that  could
cause  actual results to differ materially are risk  factors
listed  from  time  to  time in the  Company's  SEC  reports
including:

       -   the Company's highly competitive marketplace,
       -   changes  in  as well as enforcement  levels  of
           federal,  state  and local environmental  legislation
           and  regulations that change demand for a significant
           portion of the Company's services,
       -   the  ability  to  obtain  new  contracts (some  of which
           are significant) from existing   and  new  clients,
       -   the execution of the expected new projects  and
           those  projects  in backlog within  the  most  recent
           cost estimates and;
       -   the  favorable  resolution of  existing  claims
           arising   in   the  ordinary  course   of   business.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM  I.    Legal Proceedings

     In  connection  with a broad investigation by the U.S. Department  of
     Justice  into alleged illegal payments by various persons to  members
     of  the  Houston City Council, the Company's subsidiary, Professional
     Services  Group, Inc. ("PSG"), received a federal grand jury subpoena
     on   May   31,  1996  requesting  documents  regarding  certain   PSG
     consultants  and  representatives that had been retained  by  PSG  to
     assist it in advising the City of Houston regarding the benefits that
     could result from the privatization of Houston's water and wastewater
     system.   At  the time the subpoena was received, the  Department  of
     Justice  advised  PSG that it was not a target of the  investigation.
     PSG  has  cooperated  and  continues to cooperate  with  the  Justice
     Department  which  has  informed the Company  that  it  is  reviewing
     transactions among PSG and its consultants.  The Company has retained
     outside   counsel   and  promptly  initiated  its   own   independent
     investigation  into  these matters and placed PSG's  chief  executive
     officer,  who has denied any wrongdoing, on administrative  leave  of
     absence  with pay.  During this leave of absence, PSG will be managed
     by  its  chief operating officer with full support from the Company's
     senior  management.   No  charges of  wrongdoing  have  been  brought
     against  PSG  or any PSG executive or employee by any grand  jury  or
     other government authority.  PSG does not believe that it has engaged
     in  any wrongdoing  in connection with these matters.  However, since
     the  government's  investigation is still underway and  is  conducted
     largely in secret, PSG lacks sufficient information to determine with
     certainty  its ultimate scope and whether the government  authorities
     with  assert  claims  resulting from this  investigation  that  could
     implicate or reflect adversely upon PSG.

     The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal actions
     arising  in  the  normal course of their businesses,  some  of  which
     involve  claims for substantial sums.  The Company believes that  the
     disposition  of such actions, individually or in the aggregate,  will
     not  have  a  material  adverse effect on the consolidated  financial
     position or results of operations of the Company taken as a whole.
