in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 as a result of the gross revenue  increases
mentioned above and a 9% decrease in subconsultant costs.

Cost of services represents direct labor costs associated with the generation of
net service  revenue.  Cost of services  for the first six months of fiscal 2000
was  $6,890,000,  representing  a 21%  increase  from the same period for fiscal
1999. This increase was due to the addition of personnel to handle the increased
workload.  Expressed as a percentage  of net service  revenue,  cost of services
remained consistent at approximately 39% for the first six months of both fiscal
2000 and 1999. As a result,  gross profit also remained consistent at 61% of net
service  revenue.  Cost of  services  for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000 was
$3,499,000,  representing  a 23% increase  from the same period for fiscal 1999.
This  increase  was due to the  addition of  personnel  to handle the  increased
workload.

Expressed  as a percentage  of net service  revenue,  cost of services  remained
consistent at 39% and 38%, respectively,  for the second quarters of both fiscal
2000 and 1999.  As a result,  gross profit  remained  consistent at 61% and 62%,
respectively, of net service revenue.

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 six months
of fiscal 2000 were  $10,313,000  as compared  to  $8,931,000  for the first six
months of fiscal 1999.  This 15%  increase  was due  primarily to an increase in
labor  costs (both  addition  of  personnel  and salary  increases,  and related
benefits).  In addition, rent expense increased due to: 1) the relocation of the
Orlando office in fiscal 1999 into larger space to accommodate growth and 2) new
offices in Miami,  Michigan,  Texas, and Illinois also in fiscal 1999. Increases
in  recruiting  and  employee   relocation,   depreciation,   office   supplies,
communication,  professional fees related to project  litigation,  and incentive
compensation expenses also accounted for the change.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 were  $5,266,000 as compared
to $4,558,000 for the second  quarter of fiscal 1999.  This 16% increase was due
primarily to an increase in labor costs (both  addition of personnel  and salary
increases, and related benefits). In addition, rent expense increased due to new
offices in Miami,  Michigan,  Texas,  and Illinois.  Increases in recruiting and
employee  relocation,  communication,   professional  fees  related  to  project
litigation,  and incentive  compensation  expenses also accounted for the change
between quarters.

Income  before income taxes was $427,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2000
compared to  $237,000  for the same  period of fiscal  1999.  Net income for the
first six months of fiscal 2000 was $242,000  compared to $116,000 for the first
six months of fiscal 1999.  These 80% and 109% respective  increases were due to
the increase in net service  revenue as discussed  above.  Income  before income
taxes was $223,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $91,000 for
the same period of fiscal 1999. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2000
was $129,000  compared to $36,000 for the second  quarter of fiscal 1999.  These
145% and 258%  respective  increases  were due to the  increase  in net  service
revenue as discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September  30, 1999 the Company had cash of $130,000  with  $1,347,000  of
borrowings available under its revolving line of credit.  Borrowings on the line
of  credit  were  used to help  fund  Company  growth.  The  Company  also has a
committed credit facility of $2,000,000 which may be used for the acquisition or
merger of other architectural/engineering companies. The Company believes, based
on  information  currently  available,  that its existing  financial  resources,
together  with its cash flow from  operations  and its unused  amounts under its
line of credit,  will provide  sufficient capital to fund its operations for the
foreseeable  future.  A variety of factors could cause actual  results to differ
materially from expected results. All debt covenants have been met.



<PAGE>



YEAR 2000

The following Year 2000 disclosure  contains  forward-looking  statements  which
express anticipated results based on information currently available. However, a
variety of factors, including those referred to under "Risks" below, could cause
actual results to differ materially from expected results.

State of Readiness:
The  Company  has been in the  process of  preparing  its  computer  systems and
applications for the Year 2000. This process involves developing and acting on a
plan for the Year 2000 issue.  It includes  identifying and  communicating  with
external  service  providers to  ascertain  what steps they are taking to remedy
their Year 2000 issues,  as well as modifying or replacing  certain hardware and
software maintained by the Company. Most of the Company's information technology
systems were purchased from vendors who have represented that these systems will
not be affected by the change of century  beginning January 1, 2000. The Company
maintains  contact with third party vendors to monitor their  progress with Year
2000  issues.  Management  expects to have  substantially  all of its  currently
identified system and application changes completed by November 15, 1999.

The  Company  has  been  informed  by its  third  party  vendors,  and has  also
internally   ascertained,   that  its  computer   applications  related  to  the
development and processing of  architectural  and engineering  documents are not
date-driven and will not be affected by Year 2000 issues. In addition,  hardware
supporting these  applications has already been upgraded to respond correctly to
the Year 2000 issue. These upgrades have been in process over the last few years
as part of the Company's ongoing technological advancements.

The Company has identified three material operating systems that may be affected
by the Year 2000 issue. They are the general ledger accounting system (including
billings),  the third party payroll  service,  and  telecommunications  systems.
Upgrades  related to the general  ledger  accounting  software and hardware have
been completed. The Company is currently in its fiscal year 2000 and the general
ledger system,  including  billings,  is functioning  properly.  The third party
payroll service states that its systems are not expected to experience Year 2000
related  problems and has disclosed  this in its recent 10K and  subsequent  10Q
filings.  Upgrades for hardware and software related to the payroll service have
been made. Upgrades to the Company's main and branch offices  telecommunications
systems are in process and are also  expected to be  completed  by November  15,
1999.  Finally,  the  Company  has been  given  assurances  by its  third  party
telecommunication   hardware  and  service  providers  that  there  will  be  no
interruption in telecommunications resulting from the Year 2000 issue.

The Company's primary  non-information  technology  systems are those related to
the buildings in which the Company  leases  space.  These  include,  but are not
limited to, heating and air conditioning systems, elevators, and security access
systems.  The owners of the properties have  represented to the Company that the
systems should now be able to respond correctly to the Year 2000 issue. Any risk
associated  with the failure of these  systems is not expected to be material to
the Company's business.





<PAGE>



Associated Costs:
The Company  expects  that the  principal  costs will be those  associated  with
testing of its  computer  applications.  The total cost to the  Company of these
Year 2000 activities has not been, and is not anticipated to be, material to its
financial  position or results of operations in any given year.  These costs and
completion  dates are based on management's  best estimates,  which were derived
utilizing   numerous   assumptions  of  future  events   including  third  party
modification  plans.  There can be no assurances  that these  estimates  will be
achieved.

Risks:
The risks associated with a failure of systems to respond  correctly to the Year
2000 are delays in  production  of  architectural/engineering  documents  due to
hardware,  software,  telecommunication  or other problems  between  offices and
clients (wide area network file sharing and transmission).  In addition,  to the
extent that the  Company's  material  vendors,  subconsultants,  customers,  and
financial  institutions,  experience  material  adverse  effects  from Year 2000
issues, the Company's own operations may be affected.  Various factors,  many of
which are beyond the Company's control,  could cause actual plans and results to
differ materially from those  contemplated by management.  Based on management's
current  assessment  and  estimates,  the Company does not believe that the Year
2000 issue will have a material impact on its business,  financial  condition or
operating  results.  However,  there can be no assurance that the failure of any
such  system  will not have a material  adverse  effect on or result in material
litigation brought against the Company.

Contingency Plans:
In the event that the material core systems fail to function  properly given the
Year 2000 problems,  the Company has established  various  contingency  plans to
maintain  operations.  Payroll  services could be processed  through the general
ledger or processed manually.  Architectural and engineering document production
could be developed  independently  in each office and  delivered  to  respective
parties by mail.
