                                 AUGUST 31, 1995


NOTE 1 -



  BASIS OF  PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
         without audit by GZA GeoEnvironmental Technologies, Inc. and Affiliate
         (the "Company") in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules
         of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Certain
         information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
         principles for complete financial statements have been omitted. It is
         the opinion of management that the accompanying consolidated financial
         statements reflect all adjustments (which are normal and recurring)
         considered necessary for a fair presentation. For further information
         refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the
         Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended February 28,
         1995, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 12,
         1995. Operating results for the three month period ended August 31,
         1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
         for succeeding periods or for the year ending February 29, 1996.

NOTE 2 -

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

         As reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
         February 28, 1995, in May 1995 the Company abandoned the specialty
         construction business conducted by its 50%-owned joint venture,
         Fonditek International, Inc. ("Fonditek") and reported the results of
         that business as discontinued operations for the year ended February
         28, 1995.

         The Company's prior years' operating results, including the results for
         the three-month and six-month periods ended August 31, 1994 reported in
         this Form 10-Q, have been restated to reflect continuing operations.

         On September 28, 1995, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries
         entered into an agreement with Fonditek and P&P Service, Inc., the
         other 50% stockholder of Fonditek (the "Settlement Agreement"). In the
         Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed upon terms for the liquidation
         of the assets and satisfaction or assumption of the liabilities of
         Fonditek and for the settlement of certain related disputes. To reflect
         the net effect of the Settlement Agreement on the Company's investment
         in Fonditek and related rights and obligations, the Company recorded an
         additional loss from discontinued operations, net of tax benefit, for
         the three month period ended August 31, 1995, in the amount of
         $165,000.

CONTINGENCIES

                  The Company's services involve risks of significant liability
         for environmental and property damage, personal injury, economic loss,
         and costs assessed by regulatory agencies. Claims may potentially be
         asserted against the Company under federal and state statutes, common
         law, contractual indemnification agreements or otherwise. The Company
         is, from time to time, party to legal actions arising in the normal
         course of business. Management believes that the outcomes of the legal
         actions to which it is currently a party will not, in the aggregate,
         have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the
         Company.

Item 2.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

         Three Month Comparison for Fiscal Years 1996 and 1995

         NET REVENUES. The Company's net revenues for the three months ended
         August 31, 1995 decreased by approximately $472,000 (4.4%) compared to
         the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease is
         attributable primarily to a decrease in the volume of the Company's
         engineering consulting business which was offset, in part, by increases
         in the volume of the Company's remediation services.

         SALARIES AND RELATED COSTS. Salaries and related costs for the three
         months ended August 31, 1995 increased by approximately $38,000 (0.5%)
         compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. A
         decrease in compensation costs due to reduced staffing and a reduction
         in incentive compensation expense were more than offset by severance
         costs and by increases in health insurance costs.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
         expenses for the three months ended August 31, 1995 increased by
         approximately $95,000 (3.9%) compared to the corresponding period in
         the prior fiscal year. The increase primarily reflects expense related
         to increased consulting services incurred for long-range marketing,
         strategic planning, and business practice projects and the fact that a
         lower percentage of the Company's capital equipment useage costs was
         chargeable to jobs performed during the three months ended August 31,
         1995. These factors were offset, in part, by a reduction in legal and
         claims expenses.

         Six Month Comparison for Fiscal Years 1996 and 1995

         NET REVENUES. The Company's net revenues for the six months ended
         August 31, 1995 decreased by approximately $556,000 (2.7%) compared to
         the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease is
         attributable primarily to a decrease in the volume of the Company's
         engineering consulting business which was offset, in part, by increases
         in the volume of the Company's remediation services.

         SALARIES AND RELATED COSTS. Salaries and related costs for the six
         months ended August 31, 1995 increased by approximately $254,000 (1.7%)
         compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. A
         decrease in compensation costs due to reduced staffing and a reduction
         in incentive compensation expense were more than offset by severance
         costs and increases in health insurance and profit sharing expenses.

                                       7
<PAGE>   8


         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
         expenses for the six months ended August 31, 1995 increased by
         approximately $85,000 (1.8%) compared to the corresponding period in
         the prior fiscal year. The increase primarily reflects expense related
         to increased consulting services incurred for long-range marketing,
         strategic planning, and business practice projects and the fact that a
         lower percentage of the Company's capital equipment useage costs was
         chargeable to jobs performed during the six months ended August 31,
         1995. These factors were offset, in part, by the receipt of proceeds
         from the settlement in the Company's favor of a lawsuit, and by a
         reduction of legal expenses relating to that and other matters.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         For the six month period ended August 31, 1995, $2,844,000 of net cash
         was used by operations. The Company made capital expenditures of
         approximately $410,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1996.

         The Company's working capital increased from $16,582,000 at February
         28, 1995 to $16,753,000 at August 31, 1995.

         At August 31, 1995, the Company had cash on hand and cash equivalents
         of $2,456,000, of which approximately $475,000 was invested in
         federally tax-exempt bonds and short-term investments of $3,226,000 of
         which $1,095,000 was invested in U.S. Treasury Notes and $2,131,000 in
         federally tax-exempt bonds. The Company believes that its cash and
         cash equivalents on hand and cash generated from operations will be
         sufficient to meet its cash requirements for at least the next twelve
         months.

         In May 1995, the Company made a decision to discontinue its specialty
         construction business and to liquidate its investment in Fonditek
         International, Inc., ("Fonditek"), a 50% joint venture company. In
         connection with this decision, the Company recorded a loss from
         discontinued operations, net of tax benefit, for the year ended
         February 28, 1995, in the amount of $2,216,000.

         On September 28, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement (the
         "Settlement Agreement") providing for the liquidation of the assets and
         satisfaction or assumption of the liabilities of Fonditek and for the
         settlement of certain related disputes. See Note 2 of Notes to
         Consolidated Financial Statements. To reflect the net effect of the
         Settlement Agreement on the Company's investment in Fonditek and
         related rights and obligations (including the adjustment of certain
         amounts receivables from, and payable to, Fonditek and related
         parties), the Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations, net
         of tax benefit, for the three month period ended August 31, 1995, in
         the amount of $165,000.
