              GZA GEOENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND AFFILIATE
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  MAY 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 three months ended May 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 May
         31, 2000 increased by approximately $ 645,000 (6.0%) compared with the
         corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Increased volume and
         services was offset by management's decision to discontinue operations
         for our Information Systems Division, lower prices due to competitive
         market conditions and the write-off of approximately $110,000 of
         unbillable cost in excess of a lump sum site development contract
         amount.

-        SALARIES AND RELATED COSTS. Salaries and related costs for the three
         months ended May 31, 2000 increased by $271,000 (3.4%) compared with
         the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in
         salaries and related costs is attributable primarily to annual salary
         increases and fringe benefit expenses. The increase was offset by
         approximately $185,000 in lower salaries and related costs due to the
         closing of the Atlanta office in the first quarter of last year and
         lower Incentive Compensation Plan expense compared to the comparable
         period last year.

-        GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
         expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2000 increased by
         approximately $34,000 (1.2%) compared with the prior year. The increase
         in general and administrative expenses is attributable to approximately
         $135,000 in estimated cost to discontinue GZA's operation of its Dallas
         office and $241,000 in cost associated with activities of the
         Board-appointed Special Committee to consider the acquisition of all
         the outstanding shares of GZA by Futureco Environmental, Inc., a
         privately-held company organized by certain members of GZA's senior
         management. The Special Committee is also evaluating other strategic
         alternatives that may be available to the Company. Additional Special
         Committee expenses will be expended 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.

         Management estimates that costs of administration, salary, severance,
         stay bonus payments, office lease cost and client contractual
         obligations, generated by the Information Services Division, will
         exceed net revenues by approximately $120,000 to $355,000 through the
         end of fiscal 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the three month period ended May 31, 2000, $ 2,247,000 of net cash
         was used by operations, whereas for the three month period ended May
         31, 1999 $103,000 of net cash was provided by operations. The
         $2,350,000 decrease in fiscal 2001 is due primarily to the increase in
         accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of
         billings on uncompleted contracts.

         The Company made capital expenditures of approximately $533,000 and
         $525,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2001 and 2000,
         respectively.

         The Company's working capital increased from $18,776,000 at February
         29, 2000 to $18,959,000 at May 31, 2000.

         At May 31, 2000, the Company had cash on hand and cash equivalents of
         $3,806,000 and short-term investments of $3,237,000 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.
