     Sarnia Corporation (the Company or Sarnia), formerly Versar Virginia, Inc.,
was a wholly-owned real estate subsidiary of Versar, Inc. (Versar).  The Company
was established in 1982 to own and operate the 6850 Building and the 6800
Building in Versar Center, the headquarters buildings of Versar, Inc.

     On June 30, 1994, Versar  distributed to the holders of its common stock
substantially all of the Common Stock of the Company (the Distribution).  The
Distribution provided Versar stockholders one share of Sarnia common stock for
every outstanding share of Versar common stock.  The Distribution was effected
to separate the two businesses given their distinct financial, investing and 
operating characteristics so that each could adopt strategies and pursue
objectives appropriate to its specific business.

(B)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation:  The accompanying financial statements are presented in
accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include 
all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting
principles or those normally made in Sarnia Corporation's Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1996 for additional information.

     The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the 
Company's customary accounting practices.  In the opinion of Management, the 
information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company's financial position as of September 30, 1996 and the results of 
operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.  The 
results of operations for such periods, however, are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

     Certain general and administrative functions, including general management,
treasury, financial service, legal, benefits and human resources administration,
investor and public relations and information management are provided by Versar 
on a fixed fee basis. Telephone expenses charged from Versar based on the number
of extensions used by the Company and its tenants are included in real estate
expenses.  Management believes that these charges are made on a reasonable 
basis; however, they do not necessarily indicate the costs that would have been
incurred by the Company separately.

Accounting 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.

Revenue recognition:  Rental income is recognized based upon tenant lease
agreements. Provisions for any anticipated lease losses are made in the period
that the losses become evident.  Revenue generated from the largest tenant, 
Versar, Inc., was $176,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 compared to
the $285,000 in the same period last year.

Property and equipment:  Property and equipment are carried at historical cost
until a decline in value which is other than temporary occurs.  At such time, 
the property will be reduced by a direct write-down for any impairment in value
if it is probable that the carrying amount of the property cannot be fully
recovered.

                                      6

Depreciation and amortization:  Depreciation and amortization are computed on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Maintenance
and repair costs are expensed while improvements are capitalized.

Net income (loss) applicable to common stock per share:  Net income (loss)
applicable to common stock per share, is computed by dividing net income (loss)
applicable to common stock by the number of shares outstanding during the
applicable period being reported upon.

Income taxes:  The Company accounts for certain income and expense items
differently for financial reporting purposes than for income tax reporting
purposes.  On July 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").  SFAS
109 mandates a liability method for computing deferred income taxes.  Provisions
for deferred income taxes are made in recognition of temporary differences
between the book and tax bases of accounting.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:  In March 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121").  SFAS 121 is effective for fiscal year 1997, and 
requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable.  The adoption of SFAS 121 on July 1, 1996 did not have a
material effect on the financial position of the Company.

Item 2    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

First Quarter Comparison for Fiscal Year 1997 and 1996

     Real estate rental revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 1997
increased by $29,000 (4%) compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 1996.
The increase is attributable to existing tenants leasing additional office space
and rent escalations.

     Real estate expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 decreased by
$27,000 (8%) compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 1996.  The decrease is
due to lower third party pass through costs associated with the tenant requested
improvements in the first quarter of fiscal year 1997.

     Depreciation/amortization for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 was 
$2,000 (1%) lower than the $154,000 reported in fiscal year 1996.  The decrease
is due to fully amortized assets that were placed in service in prior years.

     General and administrative expense in the first quarter of fiscal year 1997
of $23,000 remained at the same level as in the first quarter of fiscal year
1996.

     Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 was $49,000
(19%) lower than that reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 1996.  The
decrease is due to therefinancing of mortgage debt, which took place in the 
third quarter of fiscal year 1996 at lower interest rates.

Item 2    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations (continued)

     Preferred stock dividends for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 were
$20,000.

     The net income applicable to common stock for the first quarter of fiscal
year 1997 was $5,000 compared to the net loss applicable to common stock of 
$83,000 in the same time last year.  The improvement in earnings was due to
higher real estate rental income, lower real estate costs, and lower interest
expenses as mentioned above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash flow provided by operating activities was $181,000 for the first 
quarter of fiscal year 1997 compared to the $3,000 for the same period last 
year.  The improved net income and the collection of accounts receivables 
resulted higher net cash provided by operating activities.  

     Sarnia is financed through a first mortgage of $9 million with I.D.S. Life
Insurance Company at the fixed rate of 7.75% which is being amortized over 
twenty-two years and with a balloon payment due in 2003.  Sarnia also has a 
second mortgage of $500,000 with the Riggs National Bank at the prime rate 
reported in the Wall Street Journal plus 2% (currently 10.25%) payable in 12
equal monthly installments.  On June 30, 1996, the maturity date of the second 
mortgage was extended to July 1, 1997.  Sarnia also has a $1.5 million term loan
with the Riggs National Bank at the prime rate reported in the Wall Street 
Journal plus 1% (currently 9.25%).  The term loan is amortized over seven years
payable in 66 equal monthly installments through 2003 starting in July 1997.  In
1996, Sarnia issued $750,000 of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
to a group of private investors.  

     Sarnia expects that it will require $80,000 for capital expenditures to be
made during fiscal year 1997.  It is anticipated that of such $80,000, 
approximately $50,000 will be used for remodeling vacant space, and 
approximately $30,000 will be used for other miscellaneous capital expenditures.
Management believes that funds generated from rents should be sufficient to meet
Sarnia's operating needs, including capital expenditures.  Versar is not 
required to support Sarnia's operations other than guaranteeing the $1.5 million
term loan as discussed above.

Impact of Inflation

     Sarnia continually seeks to protect itself from the effects of inflation. 
The majority of its leases provide for annual increases based on fixed 
percentages or increases in the Consumer Price Index.
