              GZA GEOENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND AFFILIATE
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                NOVEMBER 30, 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
nine month period ended November 30, 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 - LONG-TERM CONTRACTS

The company has entered into several long-term government-funded and private
projects that are subject to risks regarding ultimate contract values. Under one
such government-funded contract, involving services provided by the Company as a
subcontractor, the amount of services required of the Company has exceeded the
original contract estimate, and the government agency funding the project has
sought to renegotiate with the prime contractor for a reduction in the total
amounts billed. The prime contractor is engaged in discussions with the
government agency to resolve the contract dispute. The Company believes that it
has recorded adequate reserves relating to this contract based upon the terms
and conditions of the contract. However, the outcome of the pending negotiations
could materially impact the future operating results of the Company, if the
price ultimately received by the Company for the additional work varies
significantly, either negatively or positively, from that currently anticipated
by the Company.

NOTE 3 -  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 nine-month periods ended November 30, 1994 reported in this Form
10-Q, are 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

                                      - 6 -
<PAGE>   7
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.

NOTE 4 -  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
     November 30, 1995 were unchanged from the corresponding period in the prior
     fiscal year. The operating results reflect an increase in the Company's
     engineering consulting and remediation net revenues which were offset by a
     decrease in the Company's drilling services.

- -    Salaries and Related Costs. Salaries and related costs for the three months
     ended November 30, 1995 decreased by $397,000 (5.4%) compared to the
     corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily
     due to reduced staffing and associated salary costs.

- -    General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
     for the three months ended November 30, 1995 decreased by $202,000 (7.3%)
     compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease
     primarily reflects a reduction in claims and legal costs and in bad debt
     expense.

NINE MONTH COMPARISON FOR FISCAL YEARS 1996 AND 1995

- -    Net Revenues. The Company's net revenues for the nine months ended November
     30, 1995 decreased by $557,000 (1.8%) compared to the corresponding period
     in the prior fiscal year. The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in
     the volume of the Company's engineering consulting and drilling services
     which were offset by increases in the volume of the Company's remediation
     services.

- -    Salaries and Related Costs. Salaries and related costs for the nine months
     ended November 30, 1995 decreased by $143,000 (0.6%) compared to the
     corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease is primarily
     due to reduced compensation costs due to reduced staffing and a reduction
     in medical costs which were partially offset by increased incentive
     compensation expense and workmans compensation insurance expense.

- -    General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
     for the nine months ended November 30, 1995 decreased by $118,000 (1.6%)
     compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease
     reflects primarily a decrease in claims and legal costs and in bad debt
     expense which were partially offset by increases in consulting and
     insurance expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine month period ended November 30, 1995, $935,000 of net cash was used
by operations. The Company made capital expenditures of approximately $507,000
for the first nine months of fiscal 1996.

The Company's working capital increased from $16,582,000 at February 28, 1995 to
$17,276,000 at November 30, 1995.

At November 30, 1995, the Company had cash on hand and cash equivalents of
$2,880,000, of which approximately $683,000 was invested in federally tax-exempt
bonds and short-term investments of $2,552,000 of which $598,000 was invested in
U.S. Treasury Notes and $1,954,000 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 3 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 receivable 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.
