              GZA GEOENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND AFFILIATE
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  MAY 31, 1998


NOTE 1 -     BASIS OF  PRESENTATION


          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GZA
          GeoEnvironmental Technologies, Inc. and Affiliate (the "Company") have
          been prepared 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 are 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, 1998, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission on May 29, 1998. Operating results for the quarter ended
          May 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
          expected for succeeding periods or for the year ending February 28,
          1999.

          The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
          with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
          make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
          consolidated financial statements and accompanying note. actual
          results could differ from those estimates.


NOTE  2 -    CONTINGENCIES

          The Company is a party to several legal actions arising in the normal
          course of business. Management believes that the outcomes of legal
          actions to which it is a party will not, in the aggregate, have a
          material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial
          condition of the Company.

          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.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTH COMPARISON FOR FISCAL YEARS 1998 AND 1997

*    NET REVENUES. The Company's net revenues for the three months ended May 31,
     1998 increased by approximately $12,000 (.13%) compared with the
     corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in net revenue
     is attributable to a $496,000 (5.4%) increase in net revenues from
     continuing operations, particularly in the Northeast Region. The increase
     in net revenues was offset partially by the loss of net revenues received
     from the Phoenix, Arizona and Grand Rapids, Michigan offices which were
     closed in fiscal 1998. The net revenues of the closed offices for the
     comparable fiscal period was approximately $484,000.

*    SALARIES AND RELATED COSTS. Salaries and related costs for the three months
     ended May 31, 1998 increased by $55,000 (.8%) compared with the
     corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase is attributable
     primarily to professional and support staff salary increases and an
     increase in Incentive Compensation Plan accruals which were offset
     partially by a reduction of approximately $364,000 in salary and related
     costs attributable to the offices closed during the prior fiscal year.

*    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
     for the three months ended May 31, 1998 decreased by approximately $192,000
     (8.5%) compared with the prior fiscal year. The decrease primarily reflects
     lower bad debt reserve requirements, a decrease in occupancy expense, and
     reductions in general and professional liability insurance premiums. The
     cost reductions were offset, in part, by an increase in temporary help and
     consulting expenditures. The Company anticipates that temporary help and
     consulting expenditures will continue to increase from the prior fiscal
     year. The increase in temporary help cost is reflective of the current
     competitive labor market. The increase in consulting cost is reflective of
     on going and planned compensation, process improvement, marketing,
     management information systems, and general management consulting
     assignments anticipated during fiscal 1999.

*     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          For the three month period ended May 31, 1998, $3,083,000 of net cash
          was used by operations, whereas for the three month period ended May
          31, 1997, $2,564,000 of net cash was used by operations.

          The greater use of cash in the first three months of fiscal 1999 
          is attributable primarily to approximately $2,000,000 in increase
          costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
          contracts for 


                                       7


<PAGE>   8


          several projects in which billings have been delayed pending final
          approval for change orders, contract amendments, and payment
          requisitions. In addition, because of a significant increase of
          contract activity in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 the Company
          experienced delays in gathering the detail necessary to bill
          approximately $900,000 in invoices which were subsequently processed
          and billed in the second quarter.

          The Company made capital expenditures of approximately $608,000 and
          $225,000 for the first three months of fiscal 1999 and 1998,
          respectively.

          The Company's working capital increased from $17,366,000 at February
          28, 1998 to $17,832,000 at May 31, 1998.

          At May 31, 1998, the Company had cash on hand and cash equivalents of
          $1,099,000, and short-term investments of $3,655,000 compared with
          $4,594,000 and $3,519,000 respectively, at February 28,1998. These
          investments consist primarily of tax-exempt municipal bonds, taxable
          U.S. Treasury Notes and other bonds and commercial paper. The Company
          believes that its cash on hand and cash equivalents and future cash
          generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its cash
          requirements for at least the next twelve months.

          FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

          The Company may make or publish statements or this report may contain
          projections, estimates, and predictions relating to anticipated
          financial performance, potential contract value, pending claims or
          litigation, business strategy, plans, acquisitions, or technological
          developments and other matters. A number of risks and uncertainties
          could materially affect these forward looking statements, and the
          Company's results of operations. These risks and uncertainties
          include, but are not limited to competition, market pricing pressures,
          changes in federal, state, and local legislation and regulations,
          ability of the company to execute projects within contracted cost
          estimates, current or future claims made against the company, ability
          of the Company to resolve contract and change order disputes favorably
          and availability of qualified personnel to execute contracts and work
          plans.
