            CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain  oral  statements  made by  management  from  time to time  and  certain
statements  contained  herein,  including  certain  statements in  "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations"  such
as statements  regarding the Company's  ability to meet its liquidity  needs and
control costs, certain statements in Notes to Condensed  Consolidated  Financial
Statements,  and other statements  contained herein regarding  matters which are
not historical facts are forward looking  statements (as such term is defined in
the  Securities  Act of 1933) and  because  such  statements  involve  risks and
uncertainties,  actual  results may differ  materially  from those  expressed or
implied by such  forward  looking  statements.  Factors  that could cause actual
results to differ  materially  include,  but are not limited to those  discussed
below:

1.   The  Company's  ability to secure the capital and the related  cost of such
     capital necessary to fund its future growth through.

2.   The  Company's   continued  ability  to  operate  in  a  heavily  regulated
     government  environment.  The Company's government contracts are subject to
     termination,  reduction  or  modification  as a result  of  changes  in the
     government's   requirements   or  budgetary   restrictions.   In  addition,
     government  contracts are subject to termination at the conveniences of the
     government. Under certain circumstances, the government can also suspend or
     debar  individuals  or  firms  from  obtaining  future  contracts  with the
     government.

3.   The level of competition  in the Company's  industry,  including  companies
     with significantly larger operations and resources than the Company.

4. The Company's ability to identify and win suitable projects and to consummate
or complete any such projects.

5.   The Company's  ability to perform  design/build  projects which may include
     the  responsibility of ensuring the actual  construction of a project for a
     guaranteed price.

These and other  factors  have been  discussed  in more detail in the  Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997.

               Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statement

                                  June 30, 1998

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance  with the  instruction  to Form 10-Q and therefore do not
include all  information  and  footnotes  necessary for a fair  presentation  of
financial  position,  results of operations,  and cash flows in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

It should be understood  that the foregoing  interim results are not necessarily
indicative  of the  results  of  operations  for the  full  fiscal  year  ending
September  30, 1998 due in part to  increased  reliance on  estimates at interim
dates.

2.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings  per Share," has been adopted by the Company.  SFAS 128
replaces  primary  earnings per share (EPS) with basic EPS and fully diluted EPS
with diluted  EPS.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted
EPS recognizes the potential  dilutive  effects of the future exercise of common
stock options.

Item 2.  Management Discussion and Analysis of  Financial Condition and Results 
         of Operation

Results of Operations

Total  revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 (third  quarter fiscal 1998)
increased  3.7% as  compared to the third  quarter of fiscal 1997 and  decreased
1.7% as compared to the previous  quarter.  Operating  revenues  (total revenues
excluding  pass-through  costs) increased 10.6% as compared to the third quarter
of fiscal 1997 and increased 1.2% as compared to the previous quarter.

Pass-through  costs,  expressed as a percentage of total revenues,  decreased to
21.6% as  compared to 26.5% in the third  quarter of fiscal  1997 and  decreased
from 23.9% in the previous  quarter.  Pass-through  costs will vary depending on
the need for specialty subconsultants and governmental subcontract requirements.

Cost of services,  expressed as a percentage of operating revenues, decreased to
86.3% for the third  quarter of fiscal  1998 from 88.3% in the third  quarter of
fiscal 1997 and decreased  from 87.0% in the previous  quarter.  The decrease in
the  percentage  from the third  quarter  of fiscal  1997 was due  mainly to the
increase in  operating  revenues  noted  above.  The costs of services  remained
comparable to the previous quarter.

General and  administrative  expense,  expressed  as a  percentage  of operating
revenue,  is 7.7% in the third  quarter of fiscal 1998 and is comparable to 7.3%
recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and 7.5% in the previous quarter.

Interest,  expressed as a percentage of operating revenues, decreased to .1% for
the third  quarter of fiscal 1998 from 1.8% in the third  quarter of fiscal 1997
and decreased slightly from .4% in the previous quarter. This decrease is due to
the virtual elimination in bank borrowings as a result of continued  improvement
in cash receipts and interest earned from surplus cash.

                                       6

<PAGE>


Income tax  expense  for the third  quarter of fiscal  1998 was 49.0% of pre-tax
income  compared  to 50.9% in the third  quarter of fiscal 1997 and 50.5% in the
previous quarter. The decrease is due to slightly higher non-deductible expenses
being lower as a  percentage  of a  considerably  higher third  quarter  pre-tax
income.

Earnings per common share,  calculated using the Treasury Stock Method,  for the
third quarter of fiscal 1998 were 15 cents based on 4,102,795 shares outstanding
versus 6 cents for the third  quarter of fiscal 1997 based on  3,805,702  shares
outstanding. A 2 for 1 stock split was effective April 13, 1998 for stockholders
of record as of March 31,  1998.  Prior period net income per share and weighted
average number of shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect this split.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
Working  capital  increased  to  $11,029,000  from  $10,719,000  in the previous
quarter.  Capital resources available to the Company include an existing line of
credit for  working  capital.  The current  limit is a maximum of $15.5  million
based on accounts  receivable and  work-in-progress of which approximately $13.3
million is currently available.  The Company recently completed negotiations and
entered into an agreement  with its bank which has reduced its borrowing rate to
the bank's base rate.  The Agreement also reduces the amount charged by the bank
for Letters of Credit. The Company believes that it and the lender will maintain
a line of credit adequate to meet the current and future  financial needs of the
Company.  The  Company  is  planning  to  continue  its  program  of  purchasing
computer-assisted  design and drafting equipment and has purchased a new project
management and accounting system.

The  Company  has been  notified by NASDAQ that it does not meet the new listing
requirements  for the National Market System  promulgated by NASDAQ in 1998. The
Company has appealed  that  decision and is awaiting the outcome of that appeal.
In the event the Company is unsuccessful  in its appeal,  it will be delisted by
NASDAQ National  Market System.  In that case, it would apply for listing on the
NASDAQ small cap market.

The Company's backlog is approximately $150 million.

                           AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS


         Amendment  made as of June 30,  1998 by and among STV  GROUP,  INC.,  a
Pennsylvania  corporation  ("STV")  and  STV's  consolidated  subsidiaries  (the
"Subsidiaries"),  as follows:  STV  INCORPORATED,  a New York  corporation,  STV
ARCHITECTS,  INC.,  a  Pennsylvania  corporation,  STV  ENVIRONMENTAL,  INC.,  a
Pennsylvania corporation,  STV INTERNATIONAL,  INC., a Pennsylvania corporation,
STV SURVEYING,  INC., a Delaware corporation,  and STV CONSTRUCTION  SERVICES, a
Pennsylvania  corporation  (collectively  referred  to as  the  "Borrowers"  and
individually as "Borrower"),  and FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK, successor by merger
to CORESTATES BANK, N.A.,  successor by merger to FIRST  PENNSYLVANIA  BANK N.A.
("Bank") to amend and modify the existing Loan Agreement ("Loan  Agreement") and
the Security  Agreement,  each dated  February  28, 1986 and each as  heretofore
amended   together  with  all  related   agreements   issued  pursuant   thereto
(collectively, the "Loan Documents").

         The Borrowers and the Bank have agreed to reduce the maximum  available
amount of the Line of Credit  from  $16,500,000  to  $15,500,000,  to reduce the
interest  rate on the Line of Credit  to Prime  Rate and to make  certain  other
changes to the Loan Documents.

         NOW, THEREFORE, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the
Borrowers,  jointly and  severally,  and the Bank,  each intending to be legally
bound  hereby  and  for  good  and  valuable  consideration,   the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:

         1. Definitions.  This Amendment constitutes the Eighth Amendment to the
Loan  Agreement  and is  intended  to amend  the Loan  Documents  as of the date
hereof.  All terms used herein as defined terms,  but not defined herein,  shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Documents.

         2. Amendments to Line of Credit. The parties agree that:

            (a)  Section  1.1(a)  of the Loan  Agreement  is hereby  amended  to
read in its entirety as follows:

                           "Subject  to the terms and  conditions  hereof and in
         the absence one or more unwaived events of default under this Agreement
         and/or a pending  demand by the Bank for payment under the Demand Note,
         the Bank agrees to lend and relend to Borrowers  from time to time such
         sum or sums of money as may be  requested by the  Borrowers  and as the
         Bank,  in it sole  discretion,  may approve,  which shall not exceed in
         aggregate  principal amount at any one time outstanding Fifteen Million
         Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($15,500,000) (the "Line of Credit"). The
         Line of Credit shall be  evidenced  by the Eighth  Amended and Restated
         Demand Note (the "Eighth Amended and Restated Demand Note") in the form
         attached hereto."



<PAGE>


                  (b) All  references  in the Loan  Documents  to "Demand  Note"
shall  henceforth be deemed to refer to the Eighth  Amended and Restated  Demand
Note, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".

                  (c) The first sentence of Section 1.1(b) of the Loan Agreement
is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                           "Subject to the terms and conditions  hereof and of a
                  certain  Standby  Letter  of  Credit  and  Security  Agreement
                  executed by all of the Borrowers under even date herewith (the
                  "L/C  Agreement"),  Bank hereby agrees,  in its sole option to
                  issue  standby  letters  of  credit  upon the  request  of the
                  Borrowers  and for  their  account,  provided  that at no time
                  shall Bank issue letters of credit  aggregating in face amount
                  in excess of $3,000,000 (the "L/C  Sublimit"),  and at no time
                  may the aggregate  loans under the Eighth Amended and Restated
                  Demand  Note and  letters  of credit  under  the L/C  Sublimit
                  exceed $15,500,000."

                  (d) The First sentence of Section 3 of the Loan Agreement is
hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                           "Interest  shall  accrue  on  the  unpaid   principal
                  balance from time to time outstanding under the Eighth Amended
                  and Restated  Demand Note at an interest  rate per annum equal
                  to the Bank's prime  commercial rate of interest (which is not
                  necessarily  the  lowest  rate  charged by the Bank) in effect
                  from time to time,  with  changes in said rate to be effective
                  immediately  ("Prime  Rate"),  based on a 360 day year for the
                  actual days elapsed.

         3.  Existing  Security.  Borrowers  hereby  agree and confirm  that all
obligations of the Borrowers  under the Loan Documents  remain in full force and
effect and, together with this Amendment,  are and continue to be secured by the
liens and security  interests set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting
the  generality  of the  foregoing,  the  Borrowers  agree and confirm  that the
security  interests  granted and set forth in Section 2.1 of the Loan  Agreement
and in the  Security  Agreement  apply  with  respect  to each of the  Borrowers
hereunder and remain in full force and effect and, in furtherance thereof,  each
of the Borrowers hereby grants to the Bank a lien upon and security  interest in
the  property and assets of the  Borrowers  described in Section 2.1 of the Loan
Agreement and in the Security Agreement.

         4. Representations and Warranties.  STV and each of the other Borrowers
hereby represent and warrant to the Bank:

                  (a) that all  representations  and warranties  made by each of
them in the Loan  Documents  remain true and correct on and of this date,  as if
newly made on and as of this date, and no event of default,  or event which with
the lapse of time or giving of notice, or both, would be an event of default has
occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents;


                                      -2-

<PAGE>


                  (b) that no person or entity has any lien,  security interest,
mortgage,  pledge, charge or encumbrance on any of the assets, real or personal,
tangible  or  intangible,  of STV or any other  Borrower,  except  for the liens
heretofore  granted  to the Bank or except  as to those  liens  which  have been
agreed to by the Bank in writing;

                  (c) that the Subsidiaries identified in the first paragraph of
this  Amendment  are  all of the  subsidiaries  of STV  and  that  each  of such
Borrowers is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under  the laws of its  state of  incorporation  (as set  forth on  Exhibit  "B"
attached  hereto),  is duly  qualified as a foreign  corporation  and is in good
standing in all other  jurisdictions  in which the failure to do so could have a
material adverse affect on its financial condition or business operations;  each
of the Borrowers has the authority and legal right to take all actions  required
of it hereunder,  and all such  corporate  actions have been taken;  and no such
action  contravenes  the  provisions  of the  charter  or  by-laws of any of the
Borrowers or any note,  indenture,  contract or agreement to which it is a party
or by which it or any of its property is bound;

                  (d)  that,  except  as set forth on  Exhibit  "C",  all of the
subsidiaries  of STV are  Borrowers  and are parties to this  Amendment  and the
Eighth  Amended and Restated  Demand Note and that such  subsidiaries  listed on
Exhibit "C" are  inactive  and do not own any assets in excess of $25,000 in the
aggregate.

                  (e)  the  Loan  Documents  are  and  remain  valid,   binding,
enforceable and in full force and effect as of the date hereof,  and none of the
Borrowers (or any other party to the Loan  Documents)  has any defense,  setoff,
counterclaim,  or  challenge  against the payment of any of the sums owing under
the terms of the Loan  Documents  or the  enforcement  or validity of any of the
terms thereof.

         5.  Conditions.  As conditions  precedent to the  effectiveness of this
Amendment:

                  (a) Each of the Borrowers  shall have  furnished the Bank with
certified  copies of resolutions  adopted by its Board of Directors  authorizing
the execution and delivery of this  Amendment and all  reasonable  and necessary
actions ancillary thereto.

                  (b) STV shall have paid or reimbursed  the Bank for the Bank's
costs and expenses in connection with this Amendment.

         6. Further  Assurances.  Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees to execute
and  deliver  to  Bank  such  additional  agreements  and  other  documentation,
including such UCC-1 and UCC-3  financing  statements  (and to pay all costs and
expenses of the Bank in connection therewith),  as Bank may request from time to
time, to assure the perfection,  protection and enforcement of the Bank's rights
under the Loan Documents and hereunder.

         7.  Effect of  Amendment;  Continuing  Validity.  Except  as  expressly
provided in this  Amendment,  the Loan Documents  shall remain in full force and
effect in accordance with their

                                      -3-

<PAGE>


respective terms.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  nothing in
this Amendment shall be construed to:

                  (a) impair the validity, perfection or priority of any lien or
 security interest securing the Liabilities;

                  (b) waive, release or impair any rights, powers or remedies of

$15,500,000                                                     Philadelphia, PA
                                                                June 30, 1998



                  FOR  VALUE   RECEIVED,   STV  GROUP,   INC.,  a   Pennsylvania
corporation,  STV INCORPORATED,  a New York corporation, STV ARCHITECTS, INC., a
Pennsylvania   corporation   and  STV   ENVIRONMENTAL,   INC.,  a   Pennsylvania
corporation, STV INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation, STV SURVEYING,
INC.,  a  Delaware  corporation,   STV  CONSTRUCTION  SERVICES,  a  Pennsylvania
corporation (individually a "Borrower" and collectively,  "Borrowers"),  jointly
and severally  promise to pay ON DEMAND,  without  defalcation,  to the order of
FIRST UNION  NATIONAL BANK (the "Bank")  FIFTEEN  MILLION FIVE HUNDRED  THOUSAND
DOLLARS  ($15,500,000) or such lesser  outstanding  principal  balance as may be
outstanding  from time to time  hereunder,  and to pay  interest  on the  unpaid
principal balance from time to time outstanding  hereunder at a fluctuating rate
per annum equal to the Prime Rate (hereinafter defined). "Prime Rate" means that
rate of interest  periodically  established by the Bank and designated its Prime
Rate (which is not  necessarily  the lowest rate  charged by the Bank),  as such
rate may change from time to time with changes  therein  effective  immediately.
All interest  accruing  hereunder  shall be payable  monthly in arrears upon the
first  business day of each  calendar  month or upon demand;  all such  interest
shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and a year of 360 days.

                  Any amount payable  hereunder which is not paid when due shall
bear  interest  from the day  when due  until  paid in  full,  at a  fluctuating

(3%);  all such interest shall be payable on demand.  Notwithstanding  any other
provision of the Loan  Agreement,  interest paid or becoming due hereunder shall
in no event be in an  amount  or  computed  at a rate  which  is  prohibited  by
applicable  statute.  Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of
the  United  States of  America  in same day funds to the Bank at its  principal
office in  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania,  or at such other  place as the Bank may
designate.

                  Payment of this Note shall not be subject to any counterclaim,
set-off,  recoupment or defense of any kind by or in the right of the Borrowers,
and the Borrowers hereby expressly and irrevocably waive any right such Borrower
may  now or at any  time  in the  future  have  to  bring  or  assert  any  such
counterclaim  set-off,  recoupment  or  defense.  It is  the  intention  of  the
Borrowers  and the  holder  thereof  that  this  Note  shall be paid  absolutely
according  to its terms and that the  Borrowers  shall  pursue any  claims  such
Borrowers may have by independent action.

                  The  Borrowers  agree to pay,  and to hold the  holder  hereof
harmless from and against,  all liabilities  for expenses  arising in connection
with the  enforcement  by the holder of its rights  under this Note and the Loan
Agreement.

notes,  and all amounts  outstanding  or accrued under said prior notes shall be

deemed to be one and the same instrument as said prior notes except as expressly
amended under the Loan Agreement.
