GZA GEOENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2000
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 fair
presentation. For further information refer to the audited financial
statements and footnotes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended February 29, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 26, 2000. Operating results for the six months ended
August 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for succeeding periods or for the year ending February 28, 2001.
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 notes. 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 2001 AND 2000
- NET REVENUES. The Company's net revenues for the three months ended August
31, 2000 increased by approximately $399,000 (3.5%) compared with the
corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase reflects a
$554,000 (5.1%) increase in demand for services in the Northeast and Great
Lakes Regions which were offset by a $154,000 decrease in services as the
result of management's decision to close the Atlanta and Dallas offices and
discontinue the Information System Division operations.
- SALARIES AND RELATED COSTS. Salaries and related costs for the three months
ended August 31, 2000 increased by $295,000 (3.7%). The salaries and
related costs increase is attributable to a $605,000 (8.2%) increase in
annual salary and fringe benefit costs for continuing operations. The
increase was offset by approximately $310,000 in decreased salaries and
related cost from closed operations.
- GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
for three months ended August 31, 2000 increased by $61,000 (2.4%) compared
with the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase
includes approximately $67,000 in cost attributable to the activities
associated with the Board-appointed Special Committee to consider the
acquisition of all outstanding shares of GZA by Futureco Environmental,
Inc. a privately-held company organized by certain members of GZA's senior
management. Additional Special Committee expenses will be incurred in
future periods.
- In December 2000 the Company plans to relocate and expand its corporate
headquarters and its Massachusetts regional office in a new facility in
Norwood, Massachusetts, and to relocate its laboratory operations to a new
facility in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The costs of the relocation, most of
which are expected to be recorded in the quarter ending February 28, 2001
will include moving expenses of approximately $170,000, and fees of
approximately $300,000 for the termination of current leases. In addition,
the Company expects to expend approximately $810,000 for leasehold
improvements, furniture and fixtures at the two new facilities during the
next several months. The Company has executed a seven-year lease for
50,827 square feet of space for its new offices in Norwood, Massachusetts
and a five-year lease for approximately 12,000 square feet of space for its
new laboratory in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The Company expects that its
total annual expenditure for office rental will increase by approximately
$225,000 as a result of the expansion and relocation of its corporate
headquarters, its Massachusetts regional office and its laboratory
operations.
SIX MONTH COMPARISON FOR FISCAL YEARS 2001 AND 2000
- NET REVENUES. The Company's net revenues for the six months ended August
31, 2000 increased by approximately $1,044,000 (4.7%) compared with the
corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase reflects a
$1,656,000 (8.1%) increase in demand for services in the Northeast and
Great Lakes Regions which was offset by a $612,000 decrease in services as
the result of management's decision to close the Atlanta and Dallas
offices and discontinue the Information Systems Division operations.
- SALARIES AND RELATED COSTS. Salaries and related costs for the six months
ended August 31, 2000 increased by approximately $565,000 (3.5%) compared
with the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase
reflects a $1,287,000 (8.8%) increase in salaries and fringe benefit costs
for continuing operations. The increase was offset by a $718,000 decrease
in salaries and related cost from closed and discontinued operations.

<PAGE> 8
- GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
for the six months ended August 31, 2000 increased by $95,000 (1.8%)
compared with the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The
increase in general and administrative expense is attributable to
approximately $135,000 in cost to discontinue GZA's operations of its
Dallas Office and approximately $272,000 in costs associated with
activities of the Board-appointed Special Committee considering the
acquisition of all outstanding shares of GZA by Futureco Environmental,
Inc. Additional Special Committee expenses will be incurred in future
periods.
The increase in expenses was offset by a reduction in bad debt reserves,
lower technical equipment cost and a reduction in general and
administrative expenses of $305,000 in fiscal 2001 from closing the Atlanta
office in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the six month period ended August 31, 2000, $1,498,000 of net cash was
used by operations versus $ 2,725,000 provided by operations for the six
month period ended August 31, 1999. The decrease is due to the increase in
accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings
on uncompleted contracts. Management expects cash flow improvements from
operating activities in subsequent quarters.
The Company made capital expenditures of approximately $638,000 and
$800,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The Company's working capital increased from $18,776,000 at February 29,
2000 to $ 20,170,000 at August 31, 2000.
At August 31, 2000, the Company had cash on hand and cash equivalents of
$4,880,000 and short-term investments of $3,112,000 compared with $
5,966,000 and $3,829,000 respectively, at February 29, 2000. 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 and cash equivalents and future cash generated from
operations will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for at least
the next twelve months.
