           NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    ---------------------

    The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996,
the condensed consolidated statements of income and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June
30, 1996 and July 2, 1995 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management
include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and the results of operations for the periods presented.

    The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended October 1,
1995.

    The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year
ending September 29, 1996.

    The computation of net income per common share is based upon the weighted
average number of shares outstanding, including the effects of common stock
equivalents (common stock options), and, on a retroactive basis, a 5-for-4 stock
split, effected in the form of a 25% stock dividend, wherein one additional
share of stock was issued on June 21, 1996 for each four shares outstanding as
of the record date of June 7, 1996.


2.  CURRENT ASSETS
    --------------

    The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents
totalled $4,913,000 at June 30, 1996.


3.  ACQUISITIONS
    ------------

    In September 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of PRC
Environmental Management, Inc. ("EMI"), a scientific and information technology
firm, from PRC Inc.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.  The
purchase price, estimated at $40,000,000, is subject to adjustment based upon
the Net Asset Value of the Business on September 14, 1995 as described in the
related purchase agreement.  From the effective acquisition date, the results of
EMI operations have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated
financial statements.

                                      -7-

    In November 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of KCM,
Inc. ("KCM"), an engineering services firm specializing in areas of water
quality, water and wastewater systems, surface water management, fisheries and
facilities.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.  The purchase
price of $12,958,000 consists of cash and Company stock which was issued under
Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and had a value of
$10,313,000. From the effective acquisition date, the results of KCM operations
have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

    The purchase price of the acquisitions in excess of the fair value of the
net assets acquired is being amortized over a period of 20 years and is included
under the caption "Intangible Assets-Net" in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets.  The final determination of such excess is subject
to a financial determination of the value of the net assets acquired and the
purchase price.

    The following table presents summarized unaudited pro forma operating
results assuming that the Company had acquired EMI and KCM on October 3, 1994:

</TABLE>

Gross revenue increased by 85.8% to $54,152,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1996 compared to $29,150,000 for the comparable prior year period.  For the
nine months ended June 30, 1996, gross revenue increased by 91.7% to
$162,243,000 from $84,648,000 in the prior year.  Net revenue increased by 87.5%
to $40,314,000 for the quarter from $21,499,000 a year ago.  For the nine months
ended June 30, 1996, net revenue increased by 89.2% to $118,413,000 from
$62,597,000 last year.  For both gross and net revenue, growth in actual dollars
was experienced in all client sectors.  The percentage of the Company's net
revenue attributable to the Federal government, state and local government,
commercial clients, and international clients was affected by the acquisitions
of PRC Environmental Management, Inc. ("EMI") and KCM, Inc. (the
"Acquisitions").  The following table presents the percentage of net revenue for
each client sector:

</TABLE>

For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Acquisitions contributed $19,869,000 in
net revenue growth, of which $13,760,000 was in the Federal government sector,
and $5,295,000 was in the

                                      -9-

state and local government sector. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the
Acquisitions contributed $57,646,000 in net revenue growth of which $41,706,000
was in the Federal government sector, and $10,834,000 was in the state and local
government sector.

Cost of net revenue increased 87.9% to $30,479,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 compared to $16,222,000 for the comparable prior year period.  For
the nine months ended June 30, 1996, cost of net revenue increased 92.1% to
$90,638,000 from $47,179,000 in the prior year.  As a percentage of net revenue,
cost of net revenue increased in the quarter and nine months from 75.5% and
75.4% last year to 75.6% and 76.5% this year, respectively.  This increase was
due substantially to the higher cost of net revenue associated with EMI.
Although this percentage increased, the Company continues to emphasize strong
project management techniques.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, inclusive of
amortization, increased 126.0% to $5,329,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1996 compared to $2,358,000 for the comparable prior year period.  For the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, this increase was due to the amortization of the
goodwill associated with the Acquisitions ($233,000), and the addition of SG&A
expenses of the Acquisitions ($2,508,000).  For the nine months ended June 30,
1996, SG&A increased 106.1% to $15,420,000 from $7,483,000 in the prior year and
the amortization of the goodwill associated with the Acquisitions was $643,000,
and the SG&A expenses of the Acquisitions was $7,166,000.  As a percentage of
net revenue, SG&A expenses increased to 13.2% for the quarter ended June 30,
1996 from 10.9% for the comparable period last year, and for the nine months
ended June 30, 1996, SG&A expenses increased to 13.0% from 11.9% last year.

For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, net interest expense of $131,000 was
incurred compared to net interest income of $259,000 in the quarter ended July
2, 1995, primarily due to borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facility
($6,000,000 at June 30, 1996) to partially fund the EMI acquisition on September
15, 1995.  For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, net interest expense
increased to $770,000, compared to net interest income of $642,000 in the prior
year.

Income tax expense increased to $1,750,000 and $4,634,000 for the quarter and
nine months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, from $1,271,000 and $3,431,000
for the comparable prior year period due to higher income before income taxes.
The Company estimates that its fiscal 1996 effective tax rate will be
approximately 40%, the same as experienced in fiscal 1995.

The Federal government slowdown last quarter continued to have some affect on
the Company's normal operations; however, the financial impact was minimized by:
     -  staff adjustments to temporary status, and
     -  workload shifts to private and other public sector contracts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1996, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totalled
$7,746,000.  In addition, the Company has a credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") with a bank which provides for a revolving credit facility of
$30,000,000, which was voluntarily reduced to $25,000,000 in March 1996, to
$20,000,000 in April 1996, and to $15,000,000 in June 1996.  Under the Credit
Agreement, the Company may also request standby letters of credit up to the
aggregate sum of $5,000,000 outstanding at any one time.  As of June 30, 1996,
outstanding borrowings totalled $6,000,000 and outstanding letters of credit
totalled $37,000.

The increase in cash from operating activities for the nine months ended June
30, 1996 resulted primarily from the management of receivables and increase in
net income.  The decrease in accounts payable and accrued compensation resulted
primarily from the timing of these liabilities.

The Company expects that existing cash balances, internally generated funds, and
its credit facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's capital
requirements through the end of fiscal 1996.

RISK FACTORS

     Statements regarding the Company's performance prospects could contain
forward-looking information that involves risk and uncertainties such as the
level of demand for the Company's services, funding delays for projects, lack of
regulatory clarity affecting the marketplace and industry-wide competitive
factors. The following risk factors should be reviewed in addition to the other
information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

     POTENTIAL LIABILITY AND INSURANCE.  Because of the type of environmental
projects in which the Company is or may be involved, the Company's current and
anticipated future services may involve risks of potential liability under
Superfund, common law or contractual indemnification agreements.  It is
difficult to assess accurately both the areas and magnitude of potential risk to
the Company.

     The Company maintains comprehensive general liability insurance in the
amount of $1,000,000. This amount, together with $9,000,000 coverage under
umbrella policies, provide total general liability coverage of $10,000,000. The
Company's professional liability insurance ("E&O") policy, which includes
pollution coverage, for 1996 provides $10,000,000 in coverage, with a $100,000
self-insured retention. For 1997, the Company expects to maintain similar
coverages for current services including pollution-related services rendered by
the Company. However, because there are various exclusions and retentions under
the Company's insurance policies, there can be no assurance that all liabilities
that may be incurred by the Company are subject to insurance coverage. In
addition, the E&O policy is a "claims made" policy which only covers claims made
during the term of the policy. If a policy terminates and retroactive coverage
is not obtained, a claim subsequently made, even a claim based on events or acts
which occurred during the term of the policy, would not be covered by the
policy. In the event the
                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
Company expands its services into new markets, no assurance can be given that
the Company will be able to obtain insurance coverage for such activities or, if
insurance is obtained, that the dollar amount of any liabilities incurred in
connection with the performance of such services will not exceed policy limits.
The premiums paid by the Company for its professional liability policies during
1996 were approximately $726,000 for E&O. The amounts to be paid for 1997 will
be determined by March 14, 1997.

     The Company does not maintain funded reserves to provide for payment of
partially or completely uninsured claims and, accordingly, a partially or
completely uninsured claim, if successful and of significant magnitude, could
have a material adverse effect on the Company.

     SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION.  The market for the Company's services is highly
competitive. The Company competes with many other firms, ranging from small
local firms to large national firms having greater financial and marketing
resources than the Company.  Competition in the environmental services industry
is likely to increase as the industry matures, as more companies enter the
market and expand the range of services which they offer and as the Company and
its competitors move into new geographic markets.  Historically, competition has
been based primarily on the quality and timeliness of service.  However, as the
industry continues to mature, the Company believes that price will become an
increasingly important competitive factor.

     CONTRACTS.  The Company's contracts with the Federal and State governments
and some of its other client contracts are subject to termination at the
discretion of the client. Some contracts made with the Federal government are
subject to annual approval of funding. Limitations imposed on spending by
Federal government agencies may limit the continued funding of the Company's
existing contracts with the Federal government and may limit the Company's
ability to obtain additional contracts. These limitations, if significant, could
have a material adverse effect on the Company. All of the Company's contracts
with the Federal government are subject to audit by the government. The
Company's government contracts are subject to renegotiation of profits in the
event of a change in the contractual scope of work to be performed.

     CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.  Many of the Company's clients are concerned about
potential or actual conflicts of interest in retaining environmental consultants
and engineers.  For example, Federal government agencies have formal policies
against continuing or awarding contracts that would create actual or potential
conflicts of interest with other activities of a contractor.  These policies,
among other things, may prevent the Company in certain cases from bidding for or
performing contracts resulting from or relating to certain work the Company has
performed for the government.  In addition, services performed for a private
client may create a conflict of interest which precludes or limits the Company's
ability to obtain work from another private entity.  The Company has, on
occasion, declined to bid on a project because of an actual or potential
conflict of interest. However, the Company has not experienced disqualification
during a bidding or award negotiation process by any government or private
client as a result of a conflict of interest.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
     POTENTIAL VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE.  The market price of the Company's
Common Stock may be significantly affected by factors such as quarter-to-quarter
variations in the Company's results of operations, changes in environmental
legislation and changes in investors' perception of the business risks and
conditions in the environmental services business. In addition, market
fluctuations, as well as general economic or political conditions, may adversely
affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock, regardless of the
Company's actual performance.
 
     QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.  The Company's ability to attract and retain
qualified scientists and engineers is an important factor in determining the
Company's future growth and success. The market for environmental professionals
is competitive and there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to
be successful in its efforts to attract and retain such professionals.
