ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of June 30, 1996, the Company remained in a strong financial condition. 
Although current assets decreased by $2,887,336 during the first six months of
1996, this decrease was mostly offset by a decrease in current liabilities of
$2,778,472.  The decrease in current assets primarily resulted from a decrease
in accounts receivable of $3,139,647 which was due to collections of
receivables which were built up during the fourth quarter of 1995.  The modest
increase in contracts in process of $708,482, which resulted from increasing
volumes of business, offset this decrease in accounts receivable.  In
addition, prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by $205,063
primarily due to the amortization of the prepaid insurance for policies which
had terms running through June 30, 1996.

The decrease in current liabilities discussed above was largely the result of
the decrease in accounts payable of $3,927,413 which corresponds with the
decrease in accounts receivable also noted above.  The Company experienced
build ups of large volumes of work during the fourth quarter of 1995 which
resulted in the large balances of accounts receivable and payable at year end
1995.  The decrease in current liabilities included an increase in the note
payable line of credit of $1,775,814 which proceeds were used to finance
current operations and equipment acquisitions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

Project revenue for the second quarter of 1996 was $14,468,821, an increase of
48.9% or $4,749,159  from $ 9,719,662 for the second quarter of 1995 due to
the growth of the commercial business in all office locations.  The four
offices added in the Gulf Coast during the second quarter of 1995 contributed
only $369,981 or 3.8% of total project revenues to that quarter.  In contrast,
these same four offices comprised $2,598,455 or 18.0% of total project
revenues for the second quarter of 1996.  The composition of revenues also
changed between the second quarter of 1995 and the second quarter of 1996.  In
the second quarter of 1995, 38.7% of total project revenue or $3,760,610 was
derived from one contract with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  In
the second quarter of 1996, the revenue from this contract was $2,720,687 or
18.8% of total project revenue.

Gross profit increased 21.9% between the second quarter of 1995 and the second
quarter of 1996 although the gross profit margin decreased from 15.4% to 12.6%
during the same period.  The improvement in the gross profit reflects an
increase in commercial business which yields higher gross profit margins.  The
Company's goal is to achieve an equal distribution of revenues from government
contracts and commercial contracts which should produce both a better
continuity of revenues and increased margin after direct costs.  The decrease
in the gross profit margin resulted from increased direct and indirect project
costs.  The increase in direct project costs of 51.9% or $3,604,876 closely
followed the 48.9% increase in project revenue.  The 63.9% increase in
indirect project costs was primarily the result of increased payroll related
costs and depreciation and amortization.  The increased payroll related costs
for second quarter of 1996 included a full quarter of activity for the Gulf
Coast offices, which were opened during the second quarter of 1995, and also
resulted from increased Company-wide staffing levels needed to meet the growth


                               -8-
<PAGE>
in project activity.  The various equipment and improvements acquired during
the second quarter of 1995 were fully on the depreciation rolls during the
second quarter of 1996.

Net income was $32,131 for the second quarter of 1996, a decrease of 92.9%,
from $451,573 for the second quarter of 1995.  This decrease resulted from
increases in selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, and
interest expense as discussed in the following paragraphs.

Selling expenses for the second quarter of 1996 increased by $511,997 or
122.8% from the second quarter of 1995 due to additional sales professionals
resulting from management's continued commitment to a formal sales/bid and
proposal staff.  Selling expense was 6.4% of project revenues for the second
quarter of 1996 and was 4.3% of project revenue for the second quarter of
1995.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1996 increased
by $191,739 or 46.2% from the second quarter of 1995 primarily due to
increases in insurance, legal, accounting and data processing
software/maintenance costs.  General and administrative expenses as a percent
of project revenues remained relatively constant at 4.2% for the second
quarter of 1996 and 4.3% for the second quarter of 1995.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 increased $174,953 or 283.0%
from the second quarter of 1995.  The increase is due primarily to borrowings
from the Company's line of credit and equipment loans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

Project revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $27,013,701, an
increase of 64.9% or $10,628,510 from $ 16,385,191 for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 due to the growth of the commercial business in all but one
office location.  The four offices added in the Gulf Coast during the second
quarter of 1995 contributed only $369,981 or 3.8% of total project revenues to
the six months ended June 30, 1995.  In contrast, these same four offices
comprised $6,411,995 or 23.7% of total project revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.  The composition of revenues also changed between the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996.  During the
first six months of 1995, 36.6% of total project revenue or $6,004,693 was
derived from one contract with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
whereas during the same period of 1996, the revenue from this contract was
$4,699,221 or 17.4% of total project revenue.

Gross profit increased 42.1% or $1,148,179 between the six months ended June
30, 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996 although the gross profit
margin decreased from 16.6% to 14.3% during the same period.  The improvement
in the gross profit reflects an increase in commercial business where the
Company is able to obtain higher gross profit margins.  The Company's goal is
to achieve an equal distribution of revenues from government contracts and
commercial contracts which should produce both a better continuity of revenues
and increased margin after direct costs.  The decrease in the gross profit
margin resulted from increased direct and indirect project costs.  The
increase in direct project costs of 67.8% or $7,867,407 closely followed the
64.9% increase in project revenue.  The 78.5% increase in indirect project
costs was primarily the result of increased payroll related costs and
depreciation and amortization.  The increased payroll related costs for six

                               -9-
<PAGE>
months ended June 30, 1996 included a full period of activity for the Gulf
Coast offices, which were opened during the second quarter of 1995, and also
resulted from increased Company-wide staffing levels needed to meet the growth
in project activity.  The various equipment and improvements acquired during
the six months ended June 30, 1995 were fully on the depreciation rolls during
the six months ended June 30, 1996.

Net income was $260,490 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of
75.6%, from $1,066,497 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  This decrease
resulted from increases in selling expenses, general and administrative
expenses, and interest expense  as discussed in the following paragraphs.  In
addition, the first six months of 1996 did not include amortization of
acquired net assets in excess of cost as the costs had become fully amortized
by the end of November 1995.  The first six months of 1995 included $184,056
of amortization which resulted in decreased expenses for the period.

Selling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $964,793
or 124.3% from the six months ended June 30, 1995 due to additional sales
professionals resulting from management's continued commitment to a formal
sales/bid and proposal staff.  Selling expense was 6.4% of project revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and was 4.7% of project revenue for the
six months ended June 30, 1995.

General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 1996 increased
by $649,171 or 86.8% from the first six months of 1995 primarily due to
increases in legal, accounting and data processing software/maintenance costs. 
General and administrative expenses as a percent of project revenues showed a
modest increase to 5.2% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 4.6% for
the six months ended June 30, 1995.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased $178,820 or
145.1% from the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase is due primarily
to borrowings from the Company's line of credit and equipment loans.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1996, the Company was in a strong financial condition with
working capital of $7,532,494 which remained relatively constant as compared
with working capital of $7,641,358 as of December 31, 1995.

A total amount of $210,625 of the remaining balance of $682,425 of the
subordinated notes payable outstanding at December 31, 1995 was paid off at
the March 1, 1996 maturity date.  The remaining $471,800 was rolled over into
new notes due in one year with interest payable monthly at 10 percent.

In March 1996, the Company established a $6,000,000 revolving line of credit
with Union Bank which replaced the previous banking relationship with Comerica
Bank. The new line of credit, which has an expiration date of May 1, 1997, 
provides more favorable accounts receivable flexibility and, coupled with the
increased borrowing capacity, is sufficient to satisfy the Company's immediate
working capital requirements.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company had
outstanding borrowings of $4,200,650 under this line of credit.  In addition,
the Company has a commitment from the bank under which it may borrow up to
$800,000 for the purchase of equipment.  As of June 30, 1996, no amount had
yet been advanced under this commitment.

On February 9, 1996, the SEC declared effective a registration statement on
Form SB-2, which the Company had previously filed, to register 402,537 shares

                               -10-
<PAGE>
of common stock for sale by certain stockholders ("Selling Shareholders")
which shares have been "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under
the Securities Act of 1933.  None of the proceeds from the sale of the common
stock by the Selling Shareholders will be received by the Company.

Management believes that funds provided from operations and the short term
line of credit will be sufficient to fund the Company's immediate needs for
working capital.  Management anticipates that capital expenditures in the
foreseeable future will be minimal and funded from working capital or the
Company's equipment line, and any leases will be short term.
