INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Trustees

Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Inc. Employees
  40l(k) Profit Sharing Plan

Jacksonville, Florida

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Reynolds,  Smith and Hills,  Inc.  Employees  401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the
"Plan") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related  statements of changes
in net assets  available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's  management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the net assets  available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1999 and 1998,  and the changes in net assets  available  for  benefits  for the
years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

As explained in Note 1 to the financial statements,  the 1999 and 1998 financial
statements  include  securities  valued at  $1,437,555  (7 percent of net assets
available for benefits)  and  $1,394,428 (8 percent of net assets  available for
benefits),  respectively,  whose  values  have  been  estimated  by the Board of
Trustees in the absence of readily ascertainable market values. We have examined
the  procedures  used by the Board of Trustees  in  arriving at its  estimate of
value of such securities and have inspected  underlying  documentation,  and, in
the   circumstances,   we  believe  the   procedures   are  reasonable  and  the
documentation  appropriate.  However,  because of the  inherent  uncertainty  of
valuation,  those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that
would have been used had a ready  market  for the  securities  existed,  and the
differences could be material.

                                       1

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedule of Assets Held
for Investment  Purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic  financial  statements but is  supplementary
information  required by the  Department for Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for
Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental  schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Such supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial  statements and, in our opinion,  is fairly
stated in all material  respects in relation to the basic  financial  statements
taken as a whole.

1.    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

      The following description of the Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Inc. Employees
      401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan")  provides  general  information to
      participants.  Participants  should  refer to the  pamphlet,  Summary Plan
      Description  for  the  April  1,1996  Amendment  and  Restatement  of  the
      Reynolds,  Smith and Hills, Inc. Employees 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, for
      a more  complete  description  of the  Plan.  Copies of the  pamphlet  are
      available from the Plan Coordinator.

      General - The Plan was commenced and made  effective  January 1, 1990. The
      Plan is a defined  contribution  plan established  under Section 401(k) of
      the Internal  Revenue Code.  The Plan was  established  for the benefit of
      employees  of  Reynolds,   Smith  and  Hills,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  and
      subsidiaries.  The Plan is  subject  to the  provisions  of the  Employees
      Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

      Plan  Amendment - The Plan was amended on September  30, 1999, to increase
      employer  matching from 25% to 50%,  eliminate the 480 hour waiting period
      for new  employee  entry to the Plan,  and  increase  the account  balance
      requirement   from  $3,500  to  $5,000  for  lump  sum  payments  made  to
      terminating employees.

      Investment Options - Participating  employees have the right to choose the
      investment  funds in which  contributions  to their accounts are invested,
      and may  choose to  allocate  and  reallocate  amounts  credited  to their
      accounts  among  all  or  any  combination  of  the  investment  funds.  A
      participating  employee may change his investment  decision at any time by
      contacting the Trustee.  Changes involving Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Inc.
      common stock are handled by the plan  administrator  on a quarterly basis.
      Earnings  on the  investment  funds are  allocated  among the  accounts of
      participants that have elected to invest in each such fund.

      Accounts may be invested among the following:

        (i)   INVESCO Retirement Trust Stable Value Fund;

        (ii)  INVESCO Select Income Fund;

        (iii) INVESCO Retirement Trust Total Return;

        (iv)  INVESCO Value Equity Fund;

        (v)   INVESCO Dynamics Fund;

        (vi)  INVESCO Small Company Growth Fund;

        (vii) Janus Overseas Fund: and

        (viii)    Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Inc. common stock.

      Plan participants may direct the investment of all funds credited to their
      account to any or all investment funds in increments of 1%.

      Contributions - The Plan allows participating employees to contribute from
      2% to 15% of their earned  compensation  with a total amount not to exceed
      $10,000  in 1999  and  1998.  The  dollar  limit  is  indexed  yearly  for
      inflation.  The employer matches 50% of the employee's annual contribution
      up to 6% of an employee's  contribution  level. In addition,  the employer
      may make  discretionary  contributions to the Plan in cash, company stock,
      or a combination of the two.

      Participant  Accounts - Each  participant's  account is credited  with the
      participant's  contribution,  the Company's contributions,  Plan earnings,
      and the allocation of associated administrative expenses.

      Vesting - Participants  are fully vested in their voluntary  contributions
      plus actual  earnings  thereon.  Vesting in the  remainder  of the account
      balances is based on years of participant  service.  A participant is 100%
      vested after five years of credited service.

      Withdrawals - Participants may withdraw all of the vested amounts credited
      to their  accounts.  Also,  a  participant  may elect to withdraw  certain
      amounts  from  his  deferred  contribution  account  due to the  financial
      hardship of the participant.

      Loans - Participants  may request loans from the Plan subject to allowable
      available participant balances and other conditions.

      Payment of Benefits - On termination of employment,  a participant with an
      account  balance  of $5,000 or less may  elect a lump sum  payment  of the
      participant's  account balance.  The Plan provides other payment schedules
      for payment of  participant  balances in excess of $5,000.  As of December
      31,  1999,  $3,655,870  in  benefits  was  owed to  participants  that had
      withdrawn from the plan.

      In the event of death or disability of a participant,  payment may be made
      in a lump sum amount equal to the value of the participant's account as of
      the next quarterly valuation date.

      Plan Termination - Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do
      so,  the  Company  has  the  right  under  the  Plan  to  discontinue  its
      contributions  at any  time  and to  terminate  the  Plan  subject  to the
      provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan  termination,  participants will
      become 100% vested in their accounts.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Basis of Accounting - The  financial  statements of the Plan are presented
      on the accrual basis of accounting.

      Investments - Short-term investments and loans to participants are carried
      at cost which approximates market value. The Plan's investments are stated
      at fair value.  Shares of  registered  investment  companies are valued at
      quoted market prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by
      the Plan at  year-end.  Investments  in the  common  stock  of the  Plan's
      sponsor,  Reynolds,  Smith and Hills,  Inc.,  are recorded at an estimated
      value as there is no active market for the stock.

      Payment of Benefits - Benefits are recorded when paid.

      Estimates - The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with
      generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
      estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and
      liabilities  and  disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities at the
      date of the financial  statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
      expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from
      those estimates.

3.    INVESTMENTS

      Except  for the Plan's  investments  in loans to  participants  and common
      stock of the plan sponsor, the Plan's investments are held in a trust fund
      administered  by the Trust  Department  of  INVESCO  Trust  Company.  Such
      investments  consist  primarily of the Plan's  short-term  investments and
      investments in mutual funds and collective trust funds.

4.    INCOME TAX STATUS

      The Plan obtained its latest  determination letter on November 5, 1997, in
      which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed,
      was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
      Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination  letter.
      However,  the plan  administrator  believes  that  the  Plan is  currently
      designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements
      of the Internal  Revenue Code.  Therefore,  they believe that the Plan was
      qualified  and  the  related  trust  was  tax-exempt  as of the  financial
      statement date.
