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,
control costs, backlog and potential revenue growth, 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.
6. The Company's and its payors' and suppliers ability to implement a Year
2000 readiness program.
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, 1998.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 1999
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 1999.
2. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," replaced 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.

4. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to their
1999 presentation.
5. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the
way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments
in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports
issued to stockholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures
about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. SFAS No. 131
is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997 (fiscal 1999 year end reporting for the Company). The Company is
evaluating the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 131 and currently believes
that its adoption will have no material impact on its future disclosure
requirements.

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
Results of Operations
Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 (second quarter of fiscal
1999) increased 28.3% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and
decreased 2.6% as compared to the previous quarter. Operating revenues (total
revenues excluding pass through costs) for the second quarter of fiscal 1999
increased 20.0% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and increased
3.9% as compared to the previous quarter due to the magnitude of awarded
contracts.
Pass through costs, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, increased to
28.8% compared to 23.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and decreased from
33.2% 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
84.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 from 87.0% for the second quarter of
fiscal 1998 and 84.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999. While the decrease
in the percentages from the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and second quarter of
1998 was due to an increase in operating revenues noted above, the absolute cost
of services also increased from the previous quarters due to an increase in
labor related expenses and information technology costs.
General and administrative expense, expressed as a percentage of operating
revenue, was 8.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 and is higher than the
7.5% recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and 7.6% in the previous
quarter. The increase from the second quarter of fiscal 1998 is due to increased
labor and labor related expenses while the increase from the previous quarter is
primarily due to higher utilization of outside services.
Interest income, net of interest expense, expressed as a percentage of operating
revenues, increased to a positive .2% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999
compared to negative .4% in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and less than .1%
in the previous quarter. This improvement is due to the
7
<PAGE>
elimination of bank borrowings as a result of a continued improvement in cash
position and interest earned from invested cash.
Income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 was 47.3% of pre-tax
income compared to 46.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and 50.0% of
pre-tax income for the same period last year. The slightly higher rate from the
first quarter is due to a slightly higher effective tax rate. The decrease is
due to non-deductible expenses being lower as a percentage of increased second
quarter pre-tax income from last year.
Diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 was $.22
cents versus $.13 cents for the second quarter of fiscal 1998. A 2-for-1 stock
split was effective April 13, 1998 for stockholders of record as of March 31,
1998. Prior period earnings per share and weighted average number of shares
outstanding have been adjusted to reflect this split.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Working capital increased to $14,525,000 at March 31, 1999 from $13,389,000 at
December 31, 1998. 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 $14.2 million is currently available. 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 and converted to a new project management and accounting system.
The Company's backlog at March 31, 1999 is approximately $200 million, in
principal part, reflecting STV's award, in a joint venture, of the tunnel
engineering contract for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority's
East Side Access project. This $2.3 billion project extends Long Island Rail
Road service to Manhattan's East Side into Grand Central Terminal. The Company
expects that the magnitude of this project will provide the impetus for future
revenue growth.

<PAGE>
Year 2000
The Year 2000 issue, or "The Y2K Bug" as it is sometimes called, is the result
of computer programs and equipment that were written and manufactured using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Date-sensitive computer
programs and equipment may recognize a date using only the last two digits. This
could result in the year 2000 being recognized as the year 1900. System failures
or miscalculations can occur, which would cause disruptions in operations and/or
the inability to process normal business transactions.
STV has recently acquired and installed new financial and project management
systems that are certified Year 2000-compliant. The Company is also continuing
on a normal basis to replace or upgrade other systems that may not be compliant.
This process will be completed in 1999. Costs of becoming 2000 compliant will
not be materially more than normal information technology (IT) purchases and
associated IT costs. However, STV has taken and will continue to take reasonable
and prudent actions, consistent with the standards of care prevalent in the
industry, to comply with Year 2000 requirements and to prevent interruptions to
STV operations. The Company has taken action to obtain certification from its
suppliers, including suppliers of IT and non-IT systems. These responses are
currently being analyzed and remedial action will be taken with those suppliers
who are deemed non-compliant. In addition, STV has notified its clients of Year
2000 compliance actions and issues, and is now beginning to test the Company's
in-house equipment and software under simulated Year 2000 conditions to further
ensure that normal operation will continue beyond 2000. Finally, STV operations
managers have informed all design personnel of Y2K requirements to ensure that
all STV design products meet Y2K standards. A steering committee of senior
managers meets monthly to coordinate and manage all Year 2000 issues, both
internally and externally. The cost of this endeavor is not believed to be
material.
The maximum potential risk exposure to STV is as follows: (a) Disruptions could
occur with the failure of project-specific applications or unique computer
assisted design and drafting and other software products that are not Year
2000-compliant. This would halt or delay completion of engineering or
construction designs and could subject STV to litigation for failure to complete
designs according to contract timetables; and (b) There is the potential for a
governmental unit or
9
<PAGE>
other large client to have 2000 compliance problems in remitting to the Company
or otherwise interrupting collections or bank processes. The amount of potential
liability and lost revenue cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Ongoing
testing of equipment and software will considerably lessen the risk of failure,
and the Company currently has a contingency plan to immediately replace any
defective computer or software system. This plan is considered adequate because
all STV systems are PC-based, and STV has sufficient hardware, software and
financial assets to make such corrections on a near real-time basis.
