               NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 
28, 1997, the condensed consolidated statements of income and the condensed 
statements of cash flows for the three month periods ended December 28, 1997 
and December 29, 1996 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management include 
all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring 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 on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 
ended September 28, 1997.

     The results of operations for the three month period ended December 28, 
1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the 
fiscal year ending October 4, 1998.

2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, EARNINGS PER 
SHARE, which the Company has adopted in the accompanying financial 
statements.  The Statement replaces the presentation of primary Earnings Per 
Share (EPS) with a presentation of basic EPS, which excludes dilution and is 
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted 
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.  Earnings per share for 1997 have been 
restated to reflect the requirement of SFAS 128. Basic and diluted earnings 
per share reflect, 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 December 1, 1997 for each four shares outstanding as of the record 
date of November 14, 1997.

3.   CURRENT ASSETS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a 
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash and cash 
equivalents totaled $5,411,000 and $12,262,000 at December 28, 1997 and 
September 28, 1997, respectively.

4.   MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

     On July 11, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of 
CommSite Development Corporation (CDC), a wireless telecommunications site 
development service firm.  The purchase has been valued at approximately 
$5,702,000 consisting of cash and 318,079 shares of Company common stock, as 
adjusted based on CDC's Net Asset Value on July 11, 1997 as described in the 
related purchase agreement.
     
     On June 11, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of 
Whalen & Company, Inc. and Whalen Service Corps Inc. (collectively, WAC).  
WAC, a telecommunications firm, provides a full range of services including 
telecommunications site development services for PCS, cellular, ESMR, 
air-to-ground, microwave, paging, fiber optic and switching centers 
technology.  In addition, WAC provides consulting, engineering, design 
services and construction management with respect to the cable television 
industry.  The purchase has been valued at approximately $41,738,000 
consisting of cash and 3,639,800 shares of Company common stock.  The common 
stock was issued in a private placement and had a value of $31,972,000.  The 
Company's stock was valued based upon the extended restriction period and 
economic factors specific to the Company's circumstances which resulted in a 
fair valuation approximately 28% below the then prevailing market price.  On 
the business day prior to the merger, WAC distributed to its stockholders (i) 
cash in the amount of $4,138,000 and (ii) accounts receivable having a net 
value of $18,456,000. 

     On March 20, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of SCM 
Consultants, Inc. (SCM), a consulting and engineering firm, providing 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 was valued at approximately 
$2,431,000, consisting of cash and 197,572 shares of Company common stock, as 
adjusted based upon SCM's Net Asset Value on March 30, 1997 as described in 
the related purchase agreement.   

     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 purchase was valued at approximately 
$724,000, consisting of cash and 40,138 shares of Company common stock, as 
adjusted based upon FLO's Net Asset Value on December 29, 1996 as described 
in the related purchase agreement.

                                      -8-

     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 and local government and private 
customers.  The purchase was valued at approximately $1,632,000, consisting 
of cash and 95,675 shares of Company common stock, as adjusted based upon 
IWA's Net Asset Value on December 29, 1996 as described in the related 
purchase agreement. 

     All of the acquisitions above have been accounted for as purchases and 
accordingly, the purchase prices of the businesses acquired have been 
allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their fair market 
values.  The excess of the purchase cost of the acquisitions over the fair 
value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is included in 
Intangible Assets - Net in the accompanying balance sheets.  The final 
determination of such excess amount for WAC and CDC is subject to a final 
determination of the value of the consideration paid and the net assets 
acquired as various studies and valuations are not yet complete.  The results 
of operations of each of the companies acquired have been included in the 
Company's financial statements from their respective acquisition effective 
dates as set forth in the related purchase agreements.

     The effect of unaudited pro forma operating results of the SCM, FLO and 
IWA transactions, had they been acquired on September 30, 1996, is not 
material. 

     The effect of unaudited pro forma operating results assuming that the 
Company had acquired CDC and WAC on September 30, 1996 is presented in Note 
7. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA OPERATING RESULTS.
         
5.   ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

     Accounts receivable are presented net of a valuation allowance to 
provide for doubtful accounts and for the potential disallowance of billed 
and unbilled costs.  The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 28, 
1997 and December 29, 1996 was $1,275,000 and $1,159,000, respectively.  The 
allowance for disallowed costs as of December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996 
was $9,553,000 and $10,081,000, respectively.  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.

6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT
     
     On December 31, 1997, the Company acquired the assets of certain 
environmental services businesses of  Brown & Root, Inc. and Halliburton NUS 
Corporation, both of which are subsidiaries of Halliburton Company and 
collectively referred to as "NUS."  NUS provides consulting, engineering and 
design services for the environmental remediation of contaminated air, water 
and soil conditions.  The purchase price of approximately $32,000,000 
consisted of cash and is subject to a purchase price adjustment as described 
in the related 

                                      -9-

purchase agreement.  The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase.  
The effect of unaudited pro forma operating results, had NUS been acquired on 
September 30, 1996, is presented in Note 7. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA OPERATING 
RESULTS.

     Gross revenue increased by 20.9% to $66,438,000 for the three months 
ended December 28, 1997 compared to $54,938,000 for the comparable prior year 
period. Net revenue increased by 32.8% to $53,664,000 for the quarter ended 
December 28, 1997 compared to $40,423,000 for the comparable quarter in the 
prior year. For both gross and net revenue, growth in actual dollars was 
experienced in three client sectors - federal government, commercial and 
international.  The increase in the commercial and international sectors was 
primarily attributable to the WAC acquisition.  The following table presents 
the percentage of net revenue for each client sector:

     Cost of net revenue increased 29.9% to $40,339,000 for the three months 
ended December 28, 1997 compared to $31,051,000 for the comparable prior year 
period.  As a percentage of net revenue, cost of net revenue decreased to 
75.2% for the quarter ended December 28, 1997 from 

                                     -11-


<PAGE>

76.8% from the comparable prior year quarter primarily as a result of 
higher margins realized from the WAC acquisition.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, inclusive of 
amortization, increased 23.4% to $6,146,000 for the three months ended 
December 28, 1997 compared to $4,979,000 for the comparable prior year 
period.  The increase was primarily due to the amortization of the goodwill 
associated with the acquisitions in fiscal 1997. As a percentage of net 
revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 11.5% for the quarter ended December 28, 
1997 from 12.3% in the first quarter last year.

     Net interest expense of $72,000 was incurred in the quarter ended 
December 28, 1997 compared to net interest income of $49,000 for the 
comparable prior year period primarily due to the reduction in cash provided 
by operating activities.

     Income tax expense increased to $3,056,000 for the three months ended 
December 28, 1997 from $1,846,000 for the comparable prior year period due to 
higher income before income taxes and higher income from operations.  The 
increase in the Company's effective tax rate is primarily due to amortization 
of goodwill resulting from acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of December 28, 1997, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled 
$5,411,000.  In addition, the Company has a credit agreement (the "Credit 
Agreement") with a bank which, as of January 30, 1998, provides for a 
revolving credit facility of $55,000,000.  Under the Credit Agreement, the 
Company may also request standby letters of credit up to the aggregate sum of 
$10,000,000 outstanding at any one time.  As of December 28, 1997, borrowings 
outstanding totaled $10,000,000 and standby letters of credit totaled 
$1,776,000.

     In the three months ended December 28, 1997, cash used in operating 
activities was $8,353,000 compared to cash provided by operating activities 
of $1,710,000 for the comparable prior year period. The decrease is primarily 
attributable to increases in billed accounts receivable of $9,600,000. The 
Company has targeted, as an immediate and ongoing practice, to increase its 
efficiency in the timing of invoicing and to accelerate the collecting of 
receivables.  For the three months ended December 28, 1997, cash used in 
investing activities was $684,000 compared to $306,000 for the comparable 
prior year period.  The increase of $378,000 was due to the increase in the 
capital expenditures.  For the three months ended December 28, 1997, cash 
provided by financing activities was $2,186,000 and resulted primarily from 
the proceeds of the issuance of long-term debt.

     The Company continuously evaluates the marketplace for strategic 
acquisition opportunities.  Once an opportunity is identified, the Company 
examines the effect an acquisition may have on the business environment, as 
well as on the Company's results of operations.  The Company proceeds with an 
acquisition only if it determines that the acquisition is anticipated to have 
an accretive effect on future operations.  The Company's strategy is to 
position itself to address existing and emerging markets.  The Company views 
acquisitions as a key 

                                     -12-

<PAGE>

component of its growth strategy, and intends to use both cash and its 
securities, as it deems appropriate, to fund such acquisitions.

     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 1998.

     The Company is currently converting its computer systems and business 
processes to ensure that its computer systems will be capable of processing 
periods for the year 2000 and beyond as well as ensure that its business 
processes will be able to support current and anticipated growth projections. 
The Company does not presently anticipate the costs associated with ensuring 
these capabilities will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

                                    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 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 the magnitude of potential risk to the Company.

    The Company maintains two comprehensive general liability policies, both 
in the amount of $1,000,000. These amounts, together with two $9,000,000 
umbrella policies, provide total general liability coverage of $10,000,000 
for the Environmental business and Architecture & Engineering business 
segments and coverage of $10,000,000 for the Telecommunications business 
segment.  The Company's professional liability insurance (E&O) policy, which 
included pollution coverage, for 1997 provided $10,000,000 in coverage for 
Environmental and Architecture & Engineering, with $100,000 self-insured 
retention.  The same E&O policy covered the Telecommunications segment with a 
sublimit of $1,000,000 each claim/$1,000,000 aggregate.  For 1998, the 
Company expects to maintain similar coverages as to 1997 for professional 
services including pollution-related services rendered by the Company.  The 
Company procures insurance coverage through a broker who is experienced in 
the engineering field.  The broker, together with the Company's Risk Manager, 
reviews the Company's risk/insurance programs with those of the Company's 
competitors and clients.  This review, combined with historical experience, 
claims history and contractual requirements, allows the Company to determine 
the adequate amount of insurance. 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 

                                     -13-

<PAGE>


premiums paid by the Company for its professional liability policies during 
fiscal 1997 were approximately $726,000 for E&O.  The projected amounts to be 
paid for fiscal 1998 will be approximately $722,000.

    The Company evaluates and determines the risk associated with an 
uninsured claim.  In the event the Company determines that an uninsured claim 
has potential liability, the Company establishes an appropriate reserve.  The 
Company does not establish a reserve if it determines that the claim has no 
merit.  The Company's historical levels of insurance coverage and reserves 
have been shown to be adequate. However, 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.   The Company performs engineering and 
consulting services across a broad spectrum of business areas, primarily in 
the resource management, infrastructure, and the telecommunication service 
business areas. Services within these business areas are provided to a client 
base including Federal (Departments of Defense, Interior and Energy; U.S 
Environmental Protection Agency; and the U.S. Post Office), state and local 
agencies, as well as the commercial sector.  The range of competitors for any 
one procurement can vary from 10 to 100 firms, depending upon the relative 
value of the project, the financial terms and risks associated with the work, 
and any restrictions placed upon competition by the customer.  Historically, 
competition has been based primarily on the quality and timeliness of 
service.  However, the Company believes that price has become an increasingly 
important competitive factor.  The Company believes that its principal 
competitors include Dames & Moore, Inc., E A Engineering Science & 
Technology, ICF Kaiser International, Inc.,  International Technology Corp., 
TRC Companies, Inc., URS Consultants, Inc., Roy F. Weston, Inc., Castle Tower 
Corporation and OSP Consultants, Inc.

    CONTRACTS.  The Company's contracts with the Federal and state 
governments and some of its other client contacts 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 rates.  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, primarily by 
the DCAA, which reviews the Company's overhead rates, operating systems and 
cost proposals.  During the course of its audit, the DCAA may disallow costs 
if it determines that the Company improperly accounted for such costs in a 
manner inconsistent with Cost Accounting Standards.  Historically, the Company 
has not had any material cost disallowances by the DCAA as a result of audit, 
however, there can be no assurance that DCAA audits will not result in 
material cost disallowances in the future.  

    In September 1995, the Company acquired Tetra Tech EM Inc. (formerly 
known as PRC Environmental Management, Inc., EMI).  EMI likewise contracts 
with the Federal government

                                     -14-

<PAGE>

and such contracts are subject to the same auditing standards as those of the 
Company.  Audits and negotiations for the years 1987 through 1992 have 
recently been completed and cost disallowances as a result of audit totaled 
approximately $672,000.  Negotiations for the 1993 audit are currently 
underway.  Audits for the years 1994 and 1995 have yet to be completed.

    The Company enters into various contracts with its clients, which include 
fixed-price contracts.  In fiscal 1997, 32.2% of the Company's net revenue 
was derived from fixed-price contracts.  Under a fixed-price contract, the 
customer agrees to pay a specified price for the Company's performance of the 
entire contract.  Fixed-price contracts carry inherent risks, including risks 
of losses from underestimating costs, problems with new technologies and 
economic and other changes that may occur over the contract period.  Losses 
under fixed-price contracts, should they occur, could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company.

     The Company contracts with both domestic and international customers.  
Certain contracts with international customers are denominated in a currency 
other than the U.S. dollar.  Contracts denominated in any currency other than 
the U.S. dollar contain certain inherent risks, including risks on foreign 
currency translation and risks in expatriating funds from foreign countries.  
In fiscal 1997, 3.7% of the Company's net revenue was derived from the 
international marketplace compared to 1.6% for fiscal 1996.  As the Company's 
net revenue derived from the international marketplace increases, so 
increases risks associated in realizing the full contract value of those 
contracts denominated in foreign currencies.  The Company is currently 
evaluating options to hedge future potential losses from foreign currency 
transactions.

     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.

     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.

                                     -15-

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.
