NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
DECEMBER 31, 1997




1)        The accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements,  in the opinion of
          management,  include all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring
          accruals)  necessary to present  fairly the results of operations  and
          financial position of the Company for the periods indicated.  However,
          certain   information  and  note  disclosures   normally  included  in
          financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally  accepted
          accounting  principles  have been omitted.  It is suggested that these
          financial  statements  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  financial
          statements,  schedules,  and notes  thereto  included in the Company's
          annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.

2)        Earnings  per share of common  stock  are  based on  weighted  average
          number of shares outstanding during each period.



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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Gross  revenue  for the first  nine  months of fiscal  1998 was  $27,639,000  as
compared  to gross  revenue of  $30,143,000  for the first nine months of fiscal
1997.  This 8% decrease  resulted  primarily from completing the design phase of
several  large  projects  in the  aviation  and  institutional  programs.  These
projects  entered  the  construction  administration  phase  which is less labor
intensive resulting in comparatively lower revenues. Declining gross revenues in
those  programs  were  offset  by  increases  in gross  revenue  for the  public
infrastructure  and commercial  programs.  Offsetting the gross revenue decrease
was a 15%  decrease in  subcontract  and other  direct  costs for the first nine
months of fiscal 1998 over the same  period for fiscal  1997.  Decreased  use of
subconsultants  was  experienced  primarily in the  aviation  and  institutional
programs  as a result of project  changes  mentioned  above.  As a result of the
decreases in gross revenue and other direct costs, net service revenue decreased
5% to $19,575,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 from  $20,708,000 for
the first nine months of fiscal 1997.

Gross revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 was $9,201,000 as compared to
gross  revenue  of  $9,047,000  for the third  quarter of fiscal  1997.  This 2%
increase resulted primarily from increased revenues in the public infrastructure
and transportation  programs.  Offsetting this increase was a 5% increase in the
use of  subcontract  and other direct costs for the third quarter of fiscal 1998
over the same  period for  fiscal  1997.  Increased  use of  subconsultants  was
experienced primarily in the public

infrastructure  program. As a result of the increases in gross revenue and other
direct costs,  net service revenue  increased  slightly by $28,000 for the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 from the third quarter of fiscal 1997.

Cost of services represents direct labor costs associated with the generation of
net service revenues.  Cost of services for the first nine months of fiscal 1998
was $7,781,000, representing a 6% decrease from the same period for fiscal 1997.
Expressed  as a percentage  of net service  revenue,  cost of services  remained
consistent  at 40% for both the first nine months of fiscal 1998 and 1997.  As a
result of the decrease in revenues,  gross profit decreased 5% to $11,794,000 in
the first nine months of fiscal 1998 from  $12,447,000 for the first nine months
of fiscal  1997.  Cost of  services  for the third  quarter  of fiscal  1998 was
$2,513,000  as  compared to  $2,501,000  for the third  quarter of fiscal  1997.
Expressed as a percentage of net service revenue, cost of services also remained
consistent  at 39% for both the third  quarters  of fiscal  1998 and 1997.  As a
result of the the slight increase in both net service fees and cost of services,
gross profit  increased to  $3,966,000  in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 from
$3,950,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1997.

Selling,  general and  administrative  (SG&A) expenses consist of labor costs of
operational  personnel not utilized on projects  (i.e.  indirect  labor),  labor
costs of  administrative  and  support  personnel,  office  rent,  depreciation,
insurance and other operating expenses.  SG&A expenses for the first nine months
of fiscal 1998 were  $11,266,000 as compared to  $11,471,000  for the first nine
months of fiscal  1997.  This 2%  decrease  was due  primarily  to a decrease in
warranty and temporary staffing expense.  SG&A expenses for the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 were  $3,840,000 as compared to $3,825,000  for the third quarter of
fiscal 1997.  This slight increase was due primarily to an increase in incentive
compensation.

Income before income taxes was $609,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1998
compared to $994,000 for the same period of fiscal  1997.  This 39% decrease was
due to the decrease in gross revenues as discussed  above.  Income before income
taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 was $158,000 compared to $136,000 for
the third  quarter of fiscal 1997.  This 16%  increase was due  primarily to the
increase in net service fees as discussed above.

Net income for the first nine  months of fiscal  1998 was  $330,000  compared to
$566,000  for the first  nine  months of fiscal  1997.  Net income for the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 was $81,000 compared to $109,000 for the third quarter of
fiscal 1997.
