            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.

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

                                 March 31, 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.

3.    TREASURY STOCK TRANSACTION.

On March 17, 1998, the Company exchanged common stock shares into treasury stock
from certain Company  officers,  sufficient to pay off a $125,000 five year term
loan receivable  from officers with interest,  which had been secured by a stock
pledge agreement.  This transaction was recorded as a treasury stock acquisition
and thus a reduction to stockholder's equity.

4.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT.

A 2-for-1 split was effected  April 13, 1998, for  shareholders  of record as of
March 31,  1998.  This split is not  reflected  in the above basic  earnings per
share and weighted average number of shares outstanding.

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

Results of Operations

Total  revenues for the quarter  ended March 31, 1998 (second  quarter of fiscal
1998)  increased  16.5% as  compared  to the second  quarter of fiscal  1997 and
increased 7.7% as compared to the previous  quarter.  Operating  revenues (total
revenues  excluding  pass through  costs) for the second  quarter of fiscal 1998
increased  8.9% as compared to the second  quarter of fiscal 1997 and  increased
3.3% as compared to the previous  quarter.  The  increase in operating  revenues
reflects an increase in the services provided for transportation  infrastructure
engineering.

Pass through costs,  expressed as a percentage of total  revenues,  increased to
23.9%  compared  to 18.5% in the second  quarter of fiscal 1997 and 20.6% in the
previous  quarter.  Pass  through  costs  will  vary  depending  on the need for
specialty subconsultants and governmental subcontract requirements.

Costs of services, expressed as a percentage of operating revenues, decreased to
87.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from 88.6% for the second quarter of
fiscal 1997 and increased  from 86.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  The
decreases in the percentage  from the second quarter of fiscal 1997 is primarily
due to the  increase in  operating  revenues  noted  above.  The increase in the
percentage from the previous  quarter is primarily due to costs  associated with
the new project management system.

General and  administrative  expense,  expressed  as a  percentage  of operating
revenue,  increased  slightly to 7.5% in the second  quarter of fiscal 1998 from
7.4% in the second  quarter of fiscal  1997 and  decreased  from the 8.0% in the
previous  quarter.  The  decrease  in the  percentage  is  primarily  due to the
increase in operating revenues.

Interest,  expressed as a percentage of operating revenues,  decreased to .5% in
the second  quarter of fiscal  1998  compared  to 2.0% in the second  quarter of
fiscal  1997 and 1.4% in the  previous  quarter.  The  decrease  is due to lower
borrowings as a result of continued improvement in cash receipts.


<PAGE>


Income tax  expense  for the second  quarter of fiscal 1998 was 50.0% of pre-tax
income  compared  to 48.1% in the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1998 and 52.3% of
pre-tax  income for the same  period  last  year.  The  increase  from the first
quarter is due to higher non-deductible expenses and the decrease from last year
is due to non-deductible expenses being lower as a percentage of a higher second
quarter pre-tax income in 1998.

Earnings per common share,  calculated using the Treasury Stock Method,  for the
second  quarter  of  fiscal  1998  were  25  cents  based  on  1,958,444  shares
outstanding compared to 10 cents in fiscal 1997 on 1,902,851 shares outstanding.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Working  capital  increased  to  $10,719,000  from  $9,955,000  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 $16.5  million
based on accounts  receivable and  work-in-progress of which approximately $10.5
million is currently  available.  The Company is in discussions  with its lender
which may reduce its line of credit.  The Company  believes  that its  liquidity
needs  can be met by  expected  operating  cash  flow  and the  availability  of
borrowings under its credit facility,  as amended,  with its lender. The Company
is planning to continue its program of purchasing  computer-assisted  design and
drafting equipment as well as installing a new project management and accounting
system.

The Company's backlog is approximately $117 million.
