           NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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

    The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 30,
1997, the condensed consolidated statements of income and the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods
ended March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996 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 September 29,
1996.

    The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 30, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year
ending September 28, 1997.

    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 totalled
$5,528,000 and cash equivalents totalled $3,711,000 at March 30, 1997.


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

    The Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of SCM Consultants, Inc.
("SCM") on March 20, 1997.  SCM, a consulting and engineering firm, provides
design of irrigation, water and wastewater systems, as well as facility and
infrastructure engineering services, to state and local government, private and
industrial customers.  The purchase price of approximately $2,531,000 consists
of cash and common stock which is subject to adjustment based upon SCM's Net
Asset Value on March 30, 1997 as described in the related purchase agreement.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

                                      -7-

    On December 18, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of FLO
Engineering, Inc. ("FLO"), a consulting and engineering firm specializing in
water resource engineering involving hydraulic engineering and hydrographic data
collection. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price
of approximately $700,000 consisting of cash and Company common stock was
adjusted to approximately $752,000 based upon FLO's Net Asset Value on December
29, 1996 as described in the related purchase agreement.

    On December 11, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of IWA
Engineers ("IWA"), an architecture and engineering firm providing a wide range
of planning, engineering, and design capabilities in water, wastewater, and
facility design, and serving state, local and private customers. The acquisition
was accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price of approximately $1,500,000
consisting of cash and Company common stock was adjusted to approximately
$1,700,000 based upon IWA's Net Asset Value on December 29, 1996 as described in
the related purchase agreement.

    The purchase price of the acquisitions in excess of the fair value of the
net assets acquired is being amortized over a period of 30 years and is included
under the caption "Intangible Assets - Net" in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets. The final determination of such excess amount is subject to a 
final determination of the value of the net assets acquired.

    The effect of unaudited pro forma operating results of these transactions,
had they been acquired as of September 30, 1996, is not material.

    In November 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of KCM,
Inc. ("KCM"). The following table presents summarized unaudited pro forma
operating results assuming that the Company had acquired KCM on October 2, 1995:

</TABLE>

4.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
    -------------------

    The Accounts Receivable valuation allowance includes amounts to provide for
doubtful accounts and for the potential disallowance of billed and unbilled
costs.  Disallowance of billed and unbilled costs is primarily associated with
contracts with the U.S. government which contain clauses that subject
contractors to several levels of audit.  Management believes that resolution of
these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

Gross revenue increased by 3.0% to $55,545,000 for the three months ended March
30, 1997 compared to $53,929,000 for the comparable prior year period.  For the
six months ended March 30, 1997, gross revenue increased by 2.2% to $110,483,000
from $108,091,000 in the prior year.  Net revenue increased by 9.6% to
$43,914,000 for the quarter from $40,076,000 a year ago.  For the six months
ended March 30, 1997, net revenue increased by 8.0% to $84,337,000 from
$78,099,000 last year.  For both gross and net revenue, growth in actual dollars
was experienced in the commercial and international client sectors.  The
percentage of the Company's net revenue attributable to the Federal government,
state and local government, commercial, and international clients was affected
by the acquisitions of IWA Engineers, FLO Engineering, Inc. and SCM Consultants,
Inc. (the "Acquisitions").  The following table presents the percentage of net
revenue for each client sector:

</TABLE>

For the quarter ended March 30, 1997, the Acquisitions contributed $2,598,000 in
net revenue growth, of which $268,000 was in the Federal government sector,
$1,113,000 was in the state

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
and local government sector, and $1,217,000 was in the commercial sector. For
the six months ended, the Acquisitions contributed $3,832,000 in net revenue
growth of which $347,000 was in the Federal government sector, $1,399,000 was in
the state and local government sector, and $2,086,000 was in the commercial
sector.

Cost of net revenue increased 8.8% to $33,367,000 for the three months ended
March 30, 1997 compared to $30,676,000 for the comparable prior year period.
For the six months ended March 30, 1997, cost of net revenue increased 7.1% to
$64,418,000 from $60,159,000 in the prior year.  As a percentage of net revenue,
cost of net revenue decreased in the quarter and six months from 76.5% and 77.0%
last year to 76.0% and 76.4% this year, respectively.  The Company continues to
emphasize strong project management techniques.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, inclusive of
amortization, increased 7.1% to $5,655,000 for the three months ended March 30,
1997 compared to $5,281,000 for the comparable prior year period.  For the
quarter ended March 30, 1997, this increase was primarily due to the
amortization of goodwill associated with the Acquisitions ($34,000), and the
addition of SG&A expenses of the Acquisitions ($288,000).  For the six months
ended March 30, 1997, SG&A increased 5.4% to $10,634,000 from $10,091,000 in the
comparable period last year. The amortization of goodwill associated with the
Acquisitions was $37,000, and the SG&A expenses of the Acquisitions were
$529,000 for the six months ended March 30, 1997. As a percentage of net
revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 12.9% for the quarter ended March 30, 1997
from 13.2% for the comparable period last year, and for the six months ended
March 30, 1997, SG&A expenses decreased to 12.6% from 12.9% for the comparable
period last year.

For the quarter ended March 30, 1997, net interest income of $31,000 was
recognized compared to net interest expense of $291,000 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, primarily due to the repayment of borrowings on the Company's
revolving credit facility.  For the six months ended March 30, 1997, net
interest income increased to $80,000, compared to net interest expense of
$639,000 in the prior year.

Income tax expense increased to $2,051,000 and $3,897,000 for the quarter and
six months ended March 30, 1997, respectively, from $1,531,000 and $2,884,000
for the comparable prior year period due to higher income before income taxes.
The Company estimates that its fiscal 1997 effective tax rate will be
approximately 41.5%, compared to 40.4% for fiscal year 1996, primarily due to
the non-deductibility of goodwill amortization for income tax purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 30, 1997, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totalled
$9,239,000.  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.  This facility was voluntarily reduced to $15,000,000 in September,
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

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
of March 30, 1997, there were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement and
outstanding letters of credit totalled $1,995,000.

Cash provided by operating activities was $4,242,000. The increase in accounts
receivable 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 1997.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which the
Company will adopt in its annual financial statements for the year ended
October 4, 1998. The Statement prohibits adoption during the fiscal 1997 and
1998 interim periods. The Statement replaces the presentation of primary EPS
with a presentation of basic EPS, which excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighed average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. The Statement also requires the
dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement
for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation
of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator
and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Diluted EPS is computed
similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No.15.

The Company has determined that the effect of adoption of SFAS No. 128 would not
have a material effect on the Company's financial statements for the three
months and the six months ended March 30, 1997.

                                 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, 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, in 1997 provides $10,000,000 in coverage, with a $100,000
self-insured retention. 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 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 E&O policy was renewed through September 30,
1997 (approximately 6 months) for $363,000. The shortened period was requested
by the Company in order to realign all policies with the Company's fiscal year
end.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
      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 and audits of the Company's business
systems and rates. Limitations imposed on spending by Federal government
agencies may limit or delay the continued funding of the Company's existing
contracts with the Federal government and may limit or delay 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.

     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.

                                      -12-

      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.
