ATC GROUP SERVICES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1996 (Unaudited)

A.  GENERAL

      Name  Change  -  Effective October 8, 1996, the  Company  received
shareholder  approval  to change its name to "ATC Group  Services  Inc."
from  it  former name, ATC Environmental Inc.  The change  was  made  to
reflect   the   Company's  expanded  operations  which  extends   beyond
environmental   consulting  and  now  includes  information   technology
consulting services.

     Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include  the  accounts of ATC Group Services Inc. and  its  wholly-owned
subsidiaries ("ATC" or the "Company").

     In   the   opinion  of  the  Company,  the  accompanying  unaudited
consolidated  financial  statements contain all adjustments  (consisting
only  of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly, in  all
material respects, the financial position, the results of operations and
the  cash  flows  for  the periods presented herein.  These  results  of
operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be  expected
for the full year due to certain seasonality factors and the effects and
timing of large service projects.

     Certain  information and footnote disclosures normally included  in

      Nature  of  Business  - ATC is a national business  services  firm
providing   technical  and  project  management  services  relating   to
environmental consulting (the "environmental consulting and engineering"
segment)   and   information   technology   consulting   services   (the
"information    technology   consulting"   segment).    The    Company's
environmental  consulting and engineering segment provides environmental
and   geotechnical   engineering  services,  architectural   engineering
services,  construction materials testing and analytical  testing.   The
Company's  information technology consulting segment  provides  analysis
and design services and system programming services to assist clients in
building new or modifying existing computer systems.  This business unit
also provides support to clients in maintaining computer systems.

      Credit  Facility - On August 24, 1996 the Company entered  into  a
$20,000,000  bridge  credit  facility  with  The  Chase  Manhattan  Bank
(formally Chemical Bank) and Atlantic Bank of New York.  Under the terms
of  the credit agreement, the Company may borrow up to the amount of the
facility,  with  interest payable monthly at 1.75%  above  the  adjusted
Eurodollar rate (for an effective interest rate of 7.1875% at August 31,
1996).   The agreement contains certain restrictive covenants which  are
consistent for this type of facility, including restrictions on dividend
payments.   Pursuant  to  an amendment, the facility  was  increased  to
$23,000,000 and amounts borrowed are due January 13, 1997.  The  Company
is  currently  negotiating and anticipates entering into a  longer  term
agreement  with  the  banks prior to the maturity  date  of  the  credit
agreement.   As a result of the Company's intent and ability  to  secure
long  term  financing,  the amounts borrowed  under  the  bridge  credit
facility  have  been  classified as long term debt in  the  accompanying
consolidated balance sheet.

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - On March  1,
1996,  the  Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards
("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to
be  Disposed Of."  The  adoption of SFAS No. 121 has not had a  material
effect on the Company's financial statements.

      Earnings  Per Share Data - Earnings per common share and  dilutive
common equivalent share have been computed by using the weighted average
number  of  shares outstanding during each period. Outstanding  dilutive
stock  warrants and options are included in the computation of  weighted
average number of shares.

     Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the
prior  period's  financial statements to conform to  the  current  years
presentation.

      Merger  of Aurora Environmental Inc. - ATC and its parent,  Aurora
Environmental Inc. ("Aurora") were merged pursuant to an agreement  (the
"Merger  Agreement")  approved by a majority  of  shareholders  of  each
company  on  June  29,  1995, with ATC being the surviving  corporation.
Under  the Merger Agreement, ATC exchanged .545 of a share of ATC Common
Stock  for each of Aurora's 6,131,104 shares of stock outstanding. ATC's
common  shares held by Aurora of 3,258,000 were canceled. Actual  common
shares  outstanding  increased by 83,356 shares.  The  merger  has  been
accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Under  this
method  of  accounting, recorded assets and liabilities of  Aurora  were
combined  with  those of ATC and the results of operations  of  ATC  and
Aurora  were  combined  as of the effective  date  of  the  merger.   In
addition,  the intercompany balance between ATC and Aurora was forgiven.
As  a  result  of  the merger, ATC utilized Aurora's net operating  loss
carryforward to reduce its taxable income and accordingly recorded a one-
time reduction in income tax expense of approximately $350,000 ($.05 per
share) in the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

      Pro  Forma  Financial  Information  (Unaudited)  -  The  following
unaudited pro forma information sets forth the results of operations  of
ATC  as  if  the  merger  of  Aurora and  ATC's  purchase  of  the  Hill
Businesses, ATEC and 3D had occurred on March 1, 1995.

D.  COMMON STOCK OFFERING

      On  October  10, 1995, the Company filed a Registration  Statement
with  the  Securities and Exchange Commission for the sale of  1,800,000
shares  of  Common Stock of which 1,700,000 were sold by ATC, while  the
remaining were sold by an officer/director of ATC.  On October 30, 1995,
the  Company  sold an additional 270,000 shares to cover over-allotments
under the same terms and conditions as the public offering.

E.  CONTINGENCIES

     First Fidelity Bank, N.A., et al v. Hill International, Inc. et al,
Superior  Court  of New Jersey, Law Division, Burlington County,  Docket
No.  Bur-L-03400-95, filed December 19, 1995.  On December 19,  1995,  a
second  amended complaint was filed in the above-entitled  action  which
joined  the  Company  as a defendant and included a  count  against  the
Company   seeking  recovery  of  certain  assets  purchased  from   Hill
International,  Inc. ("Hill") on the grounds that plaintiff  banks  hold
security  interests in the assets and that Hill is in default under  the
security  agreement  creating  such  alleged  security  interests.   The
plaintiffs  in  this  action are First Fidelity Bank,  N.A.  and  United
Jersey  Bank,  N.A. The primary defendants are Hill and certain  of  its
subsidiaries,  and  Irvin  Richter, David Richter,  Janice  Richter  and
William  Doyle.  Irvin  Richter  and  David  Richter  are  officers  and
stockholders  of Hill.  In April 1996, the Company filed  a  cross-claim
against  Hill,  Irvin  Richter  and David  Richter  alleging  breach  of
contract,   fraud,  among  other  allegations  and  seeking  unspecified
damages,  including punitive damages and equitable relief.   In  August,
1996,  Hill and the Richters filed an answer denying ATC's cross claims,
a  cross-claim  against  ATC  and a third party  claim  against  certain
members of ATC's management.  The cross claim and third party claim seek
unspecified damages, including punitive damages, for defamation,  breach
of  the Richters' non-competition agreements and securities fraud.   The
defamation  claim  is  based  on plaintiff banks'  allegation  of  fraud
against Hill and the Richters in their amended complaint, which Hill and
the  Richters allege was based on defamatory statements made by  ATC  in
settlement  discussions  with the plaintiff  banks.   The  Company  both
denies  that  it  made  defamatory  statements  and  asserts  that   the
defamation allegations fail to state a legally valid claim.  The  breach
of contract and securities claims are based on allegations that ATC made
representations  concerning  a  registration  rights  agreement  to   be
provided   in  connection  with  options  issued  to  the  Richters   as
consideration for their non-competition agreements.  The Company  denies
that  an  agreement concerning registration rights was ever reached  and
asserts  that the Richters forfeited any such rights in any  case  as  a
result  of  their  conduct in connection with the asset purchase.  These
related  cases  are  in their early stages with discovery  yet  to  take
place.   In the Company's opinion, the outcome of this matter  will  not
have  a significant effect on the Company's financial position or future
results  of  operations, although no assurances can  be  given  in  this
regard.


     Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. TLT Construction Corp. et al, Civ.
Action   No.   96-02281   F,  Superior  Court   of   Middlesex   County,
Massachusetts.   This  is  an  action brought  by  the  Commonwealth  of
Massachusetts  in  April  1996,  against  the  architects  and   general
contractor  on  a  renovation and construction project  on  the  Suffolk
County  Courthouse in Massachusetts.  The basis of the lawsuit  is  that
one or more damp-proofing products specified by the architect defendants
and  installed  by  the  contractor  defendant  made  employees  in  the
courthouse  ill because of the off-gassing of harmful vapors.   Dennison
Environmental Services Inc., ("Dennison") an ATC subsidiary, was  joined
on  August  13,  1996,  as a third party defendant by  TLT  Construction
Corporation, the general contractor, because Dennison performed some air
quality  testing  of the air in the courthouse for the  Commonwealth  of
Massachusetts  during the construction process.  The contractor  alleges
that  it  acted in reliance on these tests in continuing to install  the
material  after the test report was given to it by the state.   Dennison
has  just  recently been served and has not yet answered the  complaint.
At  this point, ATC considers the case to be totally without merit,  and
ATC  intends to vigorously defend the action.  The Company currently has
in force a professional  liability insurance  policy covering this claim
in the amount of $10,000,000 with a deductable of $250,000.  Notice   of
claim  has been made regarding this action and the insurer has agreed to
assume the defense.   These related cases are in their early stages with
discovery    yet to take place.  In the Company's opinion, the outcome of
this matter will not have a significant effect on the Company's financial
position  or  future results of operations, although no assurances can be
given in this regard.

      State  of New York Department of Taxation and Finance- The Company
has  received  a notice of audit from the New York State  Department  of
Taxation  and Finance for the three fiscal years 1993, 1994,  and  1995.
The  State  has  made  a routine request for information  to  which  the
Company has responded.

ATC GROUP SERVICES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Recent Developments

FY 1997
      Acquisition of American Testing and Engineering Corporation  -  On
May   24,  1996,  ATC  purchased  certain  assets  and  assumed  certain
liabilities of American Testing and Engineering Corporation ("ATEC"),  a
national  environmental  consulting firm.  ATEC  provides  environmental
consulting   and   engineering  services  including  risk   assessments,
compliance  audits, environmental remediation consulting,  geotechnical,
materials testing, industrial hygiene and analytical services through  a
large  network  of  branch and regional offices.   For  its  year  ended
December  31, 1995, ATEC had revenues of $85,020,000 and a net  loss  of
($1,820,000).

     The  acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.  The  assets
acquired   include  certain  tangible  assets  consisting  of   accounts
receivable,  work  in process and customer and certain  other  deposits.
Additionally,  ATC executed an agreement to lease substantially  all  of
ATEC's  equipment and executed several sublease agreements for  premises
leased by ATEC.  ATC also obtained non-competition agreements with ATEC,
a non-acquired subsidiary, and the majority shareholder of ATEC.

      The  purchase price consideration consisted of $9,000,000 of  cash
paid at closing and property and facility lease payments and non-compete
payment  obligations  of  $6,001,000  payable  during  the  first   year
following  the purchase.  The Company also assumed liability for  ATEC's
bank  debt, approximately $10,750,000, its accounts payable, and certain
other recorded liabilities.  The Company is contingently liable to  ATEC
for  additional purchase consideration up to $10,750,000 if certain  net
revenue  levels are achieved and certain other conditions are met.   The
maximum  amounts  payable, if fully earned, would be  paid  as  follows;
$3,883,333  in  fiscal 1998, $3,873,333 in fiscal  1999,  $1,293,334  in
fiscal 2000 and $1,700,000 in fiscal 2002.

      Acquisition of 3D Information Services, Inc. - Effective  May  28,
1996,  ATC  purchased  certain  assets  and  assumed  certain  specified
liabilities of 3D Information Services, Inc. ("3D"), a New Jersey  based
information  services  company  providing technical  information  system
consulting  services  in  all  phases  of  information  system   design,
development,  maintenance and management in client server and  mainframe
based  environments.   Its  clients  include  major  companies  in   the
telecommunications,  financial services and  pharmaceutical  industries.
3D  reported  revenues and net income of approximately  $10,360,000  and
$85,000 respectively, for its year ended December 31, 1995.

      The  acquisition  has been accounted for as  a  purchase.   Assets
purchased  include  customer  contract  rights,  customer  lists,  order
backlog,  customer  records,  employee  contracts  and  tangible  assets
including  accounts  receivable, unbilled work  in  process,  field  and
office  supplies,  and  equipment.   Consideration  paid  consisted   of
$3,000,000 of cash at closing and a note payable for $2,500,000  payable
in  three  annual  payments  plus interest.  In  addition,  ATC  assumed
certain liabilities of approximately $175,724.  ATC also entered into  a
three year non-compete agreement with the majority stockholder.

FY 1996
     Acquisition of Hill International Inc. Environmental Subsidiaries -
On  November 10, 1995, ATC purchased certain assets and assumed  certain
liabilities of the subsidiary companies at Hill International, Inc. that
provided environmental consulting and engineering services (collectively
the  "Hill  Businesses").  These services include  asbestos  management,
industrial  hygiene  and  indoor air quality  consulting,  environmental
auditing and permitting, environmental regulatory compliance, water  and
wastewater  engineering, solid waste and landfill management,  hazardous
waste management and analytical laboratory services.

      Acquisition of Applied Geosciences, Inc. - Effective February  29,
1996,  ATC  purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities  of
Applied Geosciences, Inc. ("AGI").  AGI's services include environmental
and  hazardous waste site assessments, remediation design,  air  quality
management,   asbestos  services,  litigation  support  and  engineering
geology through its offices located in Southern California.

Common Stock Offering

     Effective October 1995, the Company sold 1,970,000 shares of common
stock  at an offering price of $12.00 per share and received $21,554,461
net of underwriting and other related expenses.

Merger of Aurora into ATC

     Effective  June 29, 1995, ATC and its parent, Aurora  Environmental
Inc.  ("Aurora"), were merged pursuant to an agreement approved  by  the
majority  of  shareholders of each company, with ATC  as  the  surviving
corporation  (the "Aurora Merger"). Prior to the Aurora  Merger,  Aurora
was a holding company which owned approximately 57% of ATC's outstanding
Common  Stock and had substantially no other assets. In connection  with
the  merger, each outstanding share of Aurora Common stock was exchanged
for  .545 shares of ATC Common Stock. ATC issued 3,341,356 shares of ATC
Common  Stock in exchange for 6,131,104 shares of Aurora's common stock,
and  issued  options  and  warrants entitling  the  holders  thereof  to
purchase  up  to  604,950 shares of ATC Common Stock  upon  exercise  in
replacement  of previously outstanding options and warrants to  purchase
Aurora's  common  stock. ATC common shares held by Aurora  of  3,258,000
were  canceled.  Actual common shares outstanding  increased  by  83,356
shares.  As  a  result of the Aurora Merger, ATC utilized  Aurora's  net
operating  loss  carried  forward  to  reduce  its  taxable  income  and
accordingly  recorded  a one-time reduction in  income  tax  expense  of
approximately $350,000 ($.05 per share) in the second quarter of  fiscal
1996.

Results of Operations

Three  Months  Ended August  31, 1996 Compared with Three  Months  Ended
August 31, 1995
     Revenues  in the three months ended August 31, 1996 increased  191%
to  $33,922,028,  compared with $11,649,478 in the  three  months  ended
August  31,  1995.  This  increase was  primarily  attributable  to  the
acquisition of ATEC and 3D in May 1996 and from the acquisitions of  the
Hill Businesses and AGI completed during the second half of fiscal 1996.

     Revenues  in  the  three months ended August 31,  1996  from  ATC's
branch  offices having comparable operations in the three  months  ended
August 31, 1995 decreased 1.6% to $11,020,010, compared with $11,201,153
in the three months ended August 31, 1995.  Revenues attributable to the
acquisitions of certain assets of the Hill Businesses, AGI, ATEC and  3D
totaled  $22,902,018, or 67.5% of revenues, for the three  months  ended
August  31,  1996.  Revenues from branch operations sold or discontinued
prior  to  the  second  quarter of fiscal 1997 contributed  revenues  of
$448,325 in the three months ended August 31, 1995.

      Reimbursable  costs represent direct project  expenses  billed  to
environmental  and engineering segment clients.  For  the  three  months
ended  August 31, 1996, reimbursable costs increased 272% to  $5,077,483
compared  with  $1,364,001, in the three months ended August  31,  1995.
Reimbursable costs as a percentage of revenues increased to 15.0% in the
three  months  ended August 31, 1996 compared with 11.7%  in  the  three
months  ended August 31, 1995.  ATEC's traditional consulting  services,
consisting  of  drilling,  materials testing and  engineering  services,
utilize  higher amounts of outside services and direct project  expenses
compared  to  those  consulting services being  provided  prior  to  the
acquisition.  For its year ended December 31, 1995,  ATEC's reimbursable
costs were approximately 21% of revenues, compared to ATC's fiscal  1996
reimbursable costs which were approximately 11% of  revenues.

     Gross  profit  in the three months ended August 31, 1996  increased
127%  to $12,529,814, compared with $5,529,416 in the three months ended
August  31, 1995. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue  decreased
to  43.4% in the three months ended August 31, 1996, compared with 53.8%
in  the three months ended August 31, 1995.  The gross profit percentage
decrease   is  due  to  lower  margins  earned  on  certain  of   ATEC's
environmental  services, the costs incurred to complete a  large  fixed-
price  contract which could not be billed to the client, and the  impact
of  lower  net  revenues in certain regions where  costs  could  not  be
reduced  proportionately.  In addition, the gross profit percentage  for
the prior year was higher than normal due to the profitability level  of
certain large projects.

     Operating  expenses  in  the three months  ended  August  31,  1996
increased  150%  to $8,619,683, compared with $3,443,026  in  the  three
months  ended  August  31,  1995.  Operating  expenses  decreased  as  a
percentage of net revenues to 29.9% in the three months ended August 31,
1996, compared with 33.5% in the three months ended August 31, 1995. The
decrease  in  operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue  is  the
result   of  the  additional  net  revenue  from  the  ATEC  and   other
acquisitions without corresponding increases in fixed and administrative
costs.   Employee  costs  increased  120%  to  $3,517,889, or  12.2%  of
net  revenues,  in the three months ended August 31, 1996 compared  with
 $1,601,014,  or  15.6%  of  net  revenues,  in the three  months  ended
August 31,  1995.  These  increases in  total cost were due to employees
hired  in  connection   with  the  expansion  of ATC's operations. Other
increases in operating expenses resulted from  higher   facility   costs
and  administrative  expenses  resulting from the growth  in  operations
and increased employee levels. Additionally, in  the  three months ended
August  31, 1996, amortization of goodwill and intangibles increased  to
$362,091,  compared with $98,658 in the three months  ended  August  31,
1995  reflecting  the  additional goodwill amortization  resulting  from
acquisitions.

     Operating  income  in  the  three  months  ended  August  31,  1996
increased  87%  to  $3,910,131, compared with $2,086,390  in  the  three
months ended August 31, 1995. Operating income decreased as a percentage
of  net  revenues  to 13.6% in the three months ended August  31,  1996,
compared with 20.3% in the three months ended August 31, 1995.

     Nonoperating  expense  in the three months ended  August  31,  1996
increased  to $424,638 compared with $164,773 in the three months  ended
August  31,  1995. The increase is primarily attributable  to  increased
interest expense due to increased bank debt borrowed in connection  with
the ATEC and 3D acquisitions.

     Income  tax expense in the three months ended August 31,  1996  was
$1,384,000, compared with $402,500 in the three months ended August  31,
1995. The income tax expense for the prior year quarter ended August 31,
1995  reflects a one-time benefit of $350,000 resulting from the  merger
of  Aurora  into ATC which allowed ATC to utilize Aurora's net operating
loss carryforward as offsets to future taxable income.  During the three
months  ended August 31, 1996 and 1995, after adjusting for the one-time
tax  benefit,  the Company's effective tax rates were 39.7%  and  39.2%,
respectively.

     As  a result of the foregoing, net income in the three months ended
August  31, 1996 increased 38.3% to $2,101,493, or $.25 per share  on  a
fully  diluted basis, compared with $1,519,117 or $.23 per  share  on  a
fully  diluted  basis,  in  the  three months  ended  August  31,  1995.
Excluding the impact of the one-time tax benefit of $350,000, net income
and  fully  diluted  earning per share for the three months ended August
31, 1995 would have been $1,169,117 and $.18, respectively.   The  fully
diluted   weighted  average  number  of  shares   outstanding  increased
2,034,016 shares to 8,576,018  shares primarily  due  to  an increase in
shares issued from the Common Stock Offering  and from  shares,  options
and  warrants outstanding as a result  of  the  Aurora merger  effective
June 29, 1995. Net income decreased as a percentage  of  net revenues to
7.3% in the three months ended August 31, 1996, compared  with  11.4% in
the three months ended August 31, 1995 after adjusting for  the one-time
tax benefit.


Six  Months Ended August  31, 1996 Compared with Six Months Ended August
31, 1995
     Revenues in the six months ended August 31, 1996 increased 125%  to
$50,568,011,  compared with $22,464,431 in the six months  ended  August
31, 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of
ATEC  and 3D in May 1996 and from the positive acquisitions of the  Hill
Businesses and AGI during the second half of fiscal 1996.

     Revenues in the six months ended August 31, 1996 from ATC's  branch
offices having comparable operations in the six months ended August  31,
1995 increased 4.5% to $22,546,783, compared with $21,580,851 in the six
months ended August 31, 1995.  Revenues attributable to the acquisitions
of  certain  assets  of the Hill Businesses, AGI, ATEC  and  3D  totaled
$27,993,740, or 55.4% of revenues, for the six months ended  August  31,
1996.   Revenues from branch operations sold or discontinued contributed
only  $27,488  for  the  six months ended August 31,  1996  compared  to
$883,580 for the six months ended August 31, 1995.

     Gross profit in the six months ended August 31, 1996 increased  83%
to $19,811,826, compared with $10,798,958 in the six months ended August
31, 1995. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 46.2%
in  the six months ended August 31, 1996, compared with 53.4% in the six
months  ended August 31, 1995. The gross profit percentage  decrease  is
due to lower margins earned on certain of ATEC's environmental services,
the  final  project  costs  incurred  to  complete  a  large fixed-price
contract  which  could  not  be  billed to the client, and the impact of
lower net revenues in certain  regions  where costs could not be reduced
proportionately.  In addition, the gross profit percentage for the prior
year was higher than normal  due  to  the profitability level of certain
large  projects.

     Operating  expenses  in  the  six  months  ended  August  31,  1996
increased 84% to $13,212,915, compared with $7,186,019 in the six months
ended  August 31, 1995. Operating expenses decreased as a percentage  of
net  revenues to 30.8% in the six months ended August 31, 1996, compared
with  35.5%  in  the six months ended August 31, 1995. The  decrease  in
operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue is the result of   the
additional  net  revenue  from the ATEC and other  acquisitions  without
corresponding  increases  in fixed and administrative  costs.   Employee
costs increased  58%  to $5,736,029, or 13.4%  of net revenues,  in  the
six months  ended August  31, 1996  compared  with $3,630,992, or 18% of
net revenues, in the six months ended  August 31,  1995. These increases
in  total  cost  were due to employees hired  in  connection   with  the
expansion of ATC's operations. Other  increases  in operating   expenses
resulted  from   higher   facility   costs  and administrative  expenses
resulting from the growth in  operations  and increased employee levels.
Additionally, in the six months ended August 31, 1996,  amortization  of
goodwill  and  intangibles increased to $524,795, compared with $194,037
in  the  six  months ended August 31, 1995 reflecting   the   additional
goodwill  amortization   resulting   from acquisitions.

     Operating  income in the six months ended August 31, 1996 increased
83%  to  $6,598,911, compared with $3,612,939 in the  six  months  ended
August  31,  1995.  Operating income decreased as a  percentage  of  net
revenues to 15.4% in the six months ended August 31, 1996, compared with
17.9% in the six months ended August 31, 1995.

     Nonoperating  expense  in  the six months  ended  August  31,  1996
increased  to  $341,115 compared with $228,694 in the six  months  ended
August  31,  1995.  The  increase in nonoperating expense  is  primarily
attributable  to increased interest expense due to increased  bank  debt
outstanding  since  May  1996 when the ATEC  and  3D  acquisitions  were
completed,  offset in part by higher interest income earned  during  the
first  three months of fiscal 1997 on the net offering proceeds invested
in short term investments prior to the acquisitions.

     Income  tax  expense in the six months ended August  31,  1996  was
$2,438,000,  compared with $970,000 in the six months ended  August  31,
1995.  The income tax expense for the six months ended August  31,  1995
reflects  a  one-time benefit of $350,000 resulting from the  merger  of
Aurora into ATC which allowed ATC to utilize Aurora's net operating loss
carryforward as offsets to future taxable income.  During the six months
ended  August  31, 1996 and 1995, after adjusting for the  one-time  tax
benefit, the Company's effective tax rates were 39%.

     As  a  result of the foregoing, net income in the six months  ended
August  31,  1996 increased 58% to $3,819,796, or $ .44 per share  on  a
fully  diluted basis, compared with $2,414,245 or $.38 per  share  on  a
fully  diluted basis, in the six months ended August 31, 1995. Excluding
the impact of the one-time tax benefit of $350,000, net income and fully
diluted  earnings  per  share  for  the six months ended August 31, 1995
would have been $2,064,245 and $.33, respectively.   The  fully  diluted
weighted average number of shares outstanding increased 2,295,522 shares
to 8,628,179 shares primarily due  to  an increase in shares issued from
the  Common  Stock  Offering  and  from  shares,  options  and  warrants
outstanding as a result  of  the  Aurora merger effective June 29, 1995.
Net income decreased as a percentage  of net revenues to 8.9% in the six
months ended August 31,  1996,  compared  with  10.2%  in the six months
ended August 31, 1995 after adjusting  for the one-time tax benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At  August 31, 1996, working capital was $25,405,292 compared  with
working  capital  of  $24,977,316 at February 29, 1996,  a  decrease  of
$427,976.  This decrease in working capital is primarily a result of the
acquisitions  of  ATEC  and 3D and the assumed  acquisition  liabilities
including  accounts  payable and other current  liabilities  and  future
payment obligations, cash paid to the sellers, offset by increases  from
purchased   accounts  receivable,  unbilled  receivables   and   prepaid
expenses.  As a result of the Company's recent acquisitions of ATEC  and
3D,  the Company's tangible net worth decreased to $7,285,898 at  August
31, 1996 from $27,542,614 at February 29, 1996 primarily as a result  of
goodwill  and  non-compete amounts recognized in connection  with  these
transactions.

     During the six months ended August 31, 1996, net cash flows used in
operating  activities were $6,058,393, primarily due to the decrease  in
accounts  payable  and  other  liabilities,  representing  payments   of
property   facility  rentals,  non-compete  consideration  and   assumed
liabilities  of ATEC and other acquisitions, and an increase  in  billed
and  unbilled  receivables. Net cash flows used in investing  activities
were  $12,659,842, resulting from the acquisitions of ATEC  and  3D  and
purchases  of  property  and  equipment.  Net  cash  flows  provided  by
financing   activities  were  $8,686,118,  primarily  representing   the
proceeds  of the bridge credit facility, less payments made on long-term
debt and notes payable assumed from ATEC.

     During the six months ended August 31, 1995, net cash flows used by
operating  activities were $1,727,423.  Net cash flows used in investing
activities were $896,436 consisting of additional acquisition  costs  in
connection  with  the  Con-Test  and  R.E.  Blattert  acquisitions  plus
contingent  purchase  obligations  related  to  the acquisition  of  BSE
Management Inc. and the  purchase of property and equipment. Also during
this  period, net cash flows  from financing activities were $1,710,207,
primarily from proceeds from increased bank debt less principal payments
on  long-term debt and notes payable of $499,159.

     In October 1995 the Company sold 1,970,000 shares in a common stock
offering.  The  Company utilized a portion of the net  proceeds  of  the
offering to repay outstanding bank debt under its credit facilities.

     In May 1996, the Company entered into a bridge credit facility with
The  Chase  Manhattan Bank (formerly Chemical Bank)  and  Atlantic  Bank
which  provided $20,000,000 of funds, of which $14,025,000 was  used  in
May  1996 in connection with the Company's acquisition of ATEC  and  3D.
The  bridge  credit  facility  has been  increased  to  $23,000,000  and
borrowings  under the agreement are due January 13, 1997,  however,  the
Company expects to complete a longer term agreement with the banks prior
to  the maturity date of the bridge facility. The Company may also  seek
to  obtain additional public or private debt or equity financing in  the
future  in order to reduce certain existing bank debt and provide  funds
for  future acquisitions, however, no assurance can be given as  to  the
Company's ability to obtain funds on acceptable terms and conditions.

     Management  believes  that as a result of  cash  on  hand,  current
working  capital,  the  expected increase in available  funds  upon  the
completion of the long-term bank credit facility, and anticipated  funds
generated internally from operations will be sufficient to finance ATC's
operations,  to  make  payments as they  come  due  on  ATC's  completed
acquisitions  and  to  meet  ATC's short-term  and  long-term  liquidity
requirements.

                       PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings:
           First Fidelity Bank, N.A., et al v. Hill International,  Inc.
     et  al,  Superior  Court  of New Jersey, Law  Division,  Burlington
     County,  Docket No. Bur-L-03400-95, filed December  19,  1995.   On
     December  19,  1995, a second amended complaint was  filed  in  the
     above-entitled action which joined the Company as a  defendant  and
     included  a  count against the Company seeking recovery of  certain
     assets  purchased  from Hill International, Inc.  ("Hill")  on  the
     grounds that plaintiff banks hold security interests in the  assets
     and  that  Hill is in default under the security agreement creating
     such alleged security interests. The plaintiffs in this action  are
     First  Fidelity Bank, N.A. and United Jersey Bank, N.A. The primary
     defendants  are  Hill  and certain of its subsidiaries,  and  Irvin
     Richter,  David  Richter, Janice Richter and William  Doyle.  Irvin
     Richter  and David Richter are officers and stockholders  of  Hill.
     In  April 1996, the Company filed a cross-claim against Hill, Irvin
     Richter and David Richter alleging breach of contract, fraud, among
     other   allegations  and  seeking  unspecified  damages,  including
     punitive  damages and equitable relief.  In August, 1996, Hill  and
     the  Richters filed an answer denying ATC's cross claims, a  cross-
     claim  against ATC and a third party claim against certain  members
     of  ATC's  management.  The cross claim and third party claim  seek
     unspecified  damages, including punitive damages,  for  defamation,
     breach  of  the Richters' non-competition agreements and securities
     fraud.    The  defamation  claim  is  based  on  plaintiff   banks'
     allegation of fraud against Hill and the Richters in their  amended
     complaint,  which  Hill  and  the  Richters  allege  was  based  on
     defamatory  statements made by ATC in settlement  discussions  with
     the  plaintiff  banks.   The  Company  both  denies  that  it  made
     defamatory  statements and asserts that the defamation  allegations
     fail  to  state a legally valid claim.  The breach of contract  and
     securities   claims  are  based  on  allegations  that   ATC   made
     representations  concerning a registration rights agreement  to  be
     provided  in  connection with options issued  to  the  Richters  as
     consideration  for their non-competition agreements.   The  Company
     denies  that an agreement concerning registration rights  was  ever
     reached and asserts that the Richters forfeited any such rights  in
     any  case as a result of their conduct in connection with the asset
     purchase.  These  related  cases are in  their  early  stages  with
     discovery yet to take place.  In the Company's opinion, the outcome
     of  this matter will not have a significant effect on the Company's
     financial  position  or future results of operations,  although  no
     assurances can be given in this regard.
     
     
          Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. TLT Construction Corp. et al,
     Civ.  Action  No.  96-02281 F, Superior Court of Middlesex  County,
     Massachusetts.   This is an action brought by the  Commonwealth  of
     Massachusetts  in  April 1996, against the architects  and  general
     contractor on a renovation and construction project on the  Suffolk
     County  Courthouse in Massachusetts.  The basis of the  lawsuit  is
     that  one or more damp-proofing products specified by the architect
     defendants and installed by the contractor defendant made employees
     in the courthouse ill because of the off-gassing of harmful vapors.
     Dennison   Environmental  Services  Inc.,   ("Dennison")   an   ATC
     subsidiary,  was  joined  on August 13,  1996,  as  a  third  party
     defendant  by TLT Construction Corporation, the general contractor,
     because Dennison performed some air quality testing of the  air  in
     the  courthouse  for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts  during  the
     construction  process.  The contractor alleges  that  it  acted  in
     reliance on these tests in continuing to install the material after
     the  test  report was given to it by the state.  Dennison has  just
     recently  been  served and has not yet answered the complaint.   At
     this point, ATC considers the case to be totally without merit, and
     ATC intends to vigorously defend the action.  The Company currently
     has in force a  professional liability  insurance  policy  covering
     this claim in the amount of $10,000,000 with a deductable $250,000.
     Notice  of  claim   has  been  made regarding this action  and  the
     insurer has  agreed to assume the defense.  These related cases are
     in  their  early  stages  with discovery yet to take place.  In the
     Company's   opinion,  the  outcome  of this matter will not have  a
     significant effect  on  the Company's financial position or  future
     results of operations, although no assurances can be given in  this
     regard.
