these areas began after the third quarter of fiscal 1998.  Net service  revenues
increased 25% to $8,079,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 from  $6,479,000
in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 as a result of the gross  revenue  increases
mentioned above.

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 1999
was  $8,745,000,  representing  a 12%  increase  from the same period for fiscal
1998.  This increase was due to the increase in operational  personnel  hired to
support the  Company's  increased  work load.  Expressed as a percentage  of net
service revenue,  cost of services  improved to 38% for the first nine months of


<PAGE>



fiscal  1999 from 40% for the first nine months of fiscal  1998.  As a result of
the increase in revenues, gross profit increased 20% to $14,143,000 in the first
nine months of fiscal 1999 from  $11,794,000 for the first nine months of fiscal
1998.  Cost of services  for the third  quarter of fiscal  1999 was  $3,051,000,
representing a 21% increase from the same period for fiscal 1998.  This increase
was also due to the  addition  of  operational  personnel  hired to support  the
increased work load.  Expressed as a percentage of net service revenue,  cost of
services  also improved to 38% for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 from 39% for
the third quarter of fiscal 1998. As a result of the increase in revenues, gross
profit  increased  27% to  $5,028,000  in the third  quarter of fiscal 1999 from
$3,966,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1998.

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 1999 were  $13,771,000 as compared to  $11,266,000  for the first nine
months of fiscal 1998.  This 22%  increase  was due  primarily to an increase in
labor costs as a result of a net 17% increase in personnel.  Increased marketing
and proposal efforts resulted in a lower project  utilization  (labor charged to
cost of services).  The  acquisition of an eleven person  architectural  firm in
Miami attributed to increases in expenses such as travel,  payroll and benefits,
and goodwill  amortization.  In addition,  rent expense  increased due to 1) the
relocation of the Ft. Myers and Orlando offices into larger space to accommodate
growth and 2) the  expansion  of the Company  into Flint,  Michigan and Houston,
Texas.  Increases in  telephone  and related  annual  maintenance  fees,  leased
computer expense, annual software license fees, consulting,  travel, recruiting,
and professional fees also accounted for the change.

SG&A expenses for the third  quarter of fiscal 1999 were  $4,841,000 as compared
to $3,840,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1998. As described above, this 26%
increase was due  primarily to increases in labor costs related to the Company's
internal  growth  and the  acquisition  of the  firm in  Miami.  Increases  were
experienced  in rent expense,  telephone and related  annual  maintenance  fees,
leased computer  expense,  annual  software  license fees,  consulting,  travel,
recruiting costs, and professional fees.

Income before income taxes was $428,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1999
compared to  $609,000  for the same  period of fiscal  1998.  Net income for the
first nine months of fiscal 1999 was $230,000 compared to $330,000 for the first
nine months of fiscal  1998.  These 30%  decreases  were due to the  increase in
operating expenses as discussed above.

Income  before  income taxes was  $190,000 for the third  quarter of fiscal 1999
compared to  $158,000  for the same  period of fiscal  1998.  Net income for the
third  quarter of fiscal  1999 was  $114,000  compared  to $81,000 for the third
quarter of fiscal 1998.  These 20% and 41% increases were due to the increase in
revenues as discussed above.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

As of December  31, 1998 the  Company had cash of  $961,000.  The Company has in


<PAGE>



place a revolving  line of credit which provides for borrowing up to $2,000,000.
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.
There  were no  borrowings  outstanding  under  either  borrowing  agreement  at
December 31, 1998. The Company believes that its existing  financial  resources,
together with its cash flow from operations and its unused lines of credit, will
provide sufficient capital to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.

On May 7, 1998,  the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding  shares of Lemuel
Ramos and  Associates,  Inc.,  an eleven  person  architectural  firm located in
Miami,  Florida.  The Company paid cash of $387,000  and signed a $300,000  note
payable to obtain the company.  The acquisition has been accounted for using the
purchase  method of accounting,  and,  accordingly,  the purchase price has been
allocated to the assets  purchased  and the  liabilities  assumed based upon the
fair market values at the date of acquisition.  The excess of the purchase price
over the fair  values of the net assets was  $708,000  and has been  recorded as
goodwill,  which is being amortized on a straight-line  basis over 15 years. The
net purchase price was allocated as follows:

         Accounts receivable        $  50,000
         Fixed assets                  21,000
         Goodwill                     708,000
         Liabilities                (  92,000)
                                    -----------
         Purchase price             $ 687,000
                                    ===========

YEAR 2000
- ---------

State of Readiness:
The Company is in process of preparing its computer systems and applications for
the Year 2000. This process involves  developing 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 in mid 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


<PAGE>



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 in process  and are  expected  to be able to be tested in early  1999.  The
Company  currently  expects to have its general ledger system tested by April 1,
1999 as this is the beginning of the Company's fiscal 2000 year. 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 filing.  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.

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: 1) delays in  billings  and  subsequent  cash  receipts,  2) 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),  and 3) potential risk due to inability
to adequately recognize revenue and related expenses. In addition,  there can be
no assurances  that there will not be material  litigation  brought  against the
Company for Year 2000 related issues.

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.  For general ledger and billing systems,  such contingency
plans include  temporarily  maintaining  the general  ledger with a 1999 date or
manual  processing of records.  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.
