            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, 1999.

        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

                                 March 31, 2000

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United States 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 accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States 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, 2000 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 2000.

2.    USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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

Basic  earnings  per share  (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 March 31, 2000 (second  quarter of fiscal
2000)  increased  9.6% as  compared  to the second  quarter  of fiscal  1999 and
increased 6.7% as compared to the previous  quarter.  Operating  revenues (total
revenues  excluding  pass through  costs) for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000
increased  20.0% as compared to the second  quarter of fiscal 1999 and increased
4.0% as compared to the previous quarter.

Pass through costs,  expressed as a percentage of total  revenues,  decreased to
22.0%  compared to 28.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 and increased from
20.0% 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
slightly  to 83.6% for the  second  quarter  of fiscal  2000 from  84.0% for the
second  quarter of fiscal 1999 and is comparable to 83.6%  recorded in the first
quarter of fiscal  2000.  The  absolute  cost of  services  increased  due to an
increase in labor related expenses and information technology costs.

General and  administrative  expense,  expressed  as a  percentage  of operating
revenue,  was 7.9% in the second  quarter  of fiscal  2000 and is lower than the
8.9% recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 and is comparable to the 7.8%
recorded in the previous quarter. The decrease from the second quarter of fiscal
1999 is due primarily to an increase in operating revenues noted above.

Interest income,  net of interest  expense,  decreased to $22,000 for the second
quarter of fiscal  2000 from  $38,000 in the second  quarter of fiscal  1999 and
from $55,000 in the previous quarter due to lower cash balances as cash has been
used to finance operating activities.

Income tax  expense  for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000 was 46.1% of pre-tax
income  compared  to 46.1% in the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1999 and 47.3% of
pre-tax income for the same period last year.


                                       6
<PAGE>
The  decrease  from the second  quarter of fiscal 1999 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 2000 was $.31
cents versus $.22 cents for the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Working  capital  increased  to  $19,528,000  from  $18,805,000  in the previous
quarter.  Cash has declined by $4,831,000 since the beginning of the fiscal year
due  primarily  to an increase in accounts  receivable  and costs and  estimated
profits on uncompleted contracts in excess of related billings of $3,279,000 and
purchases of property,  equipment,  and software of  $1,619,000.  On February 3,
2000 the  Company  obtained  a new  $12,000,000  committed  line of credit  from
another financial  institution replacing the previously existing line of credit.
The  agreement  provides  that the Company may borrow up to ten million  dollars
($10,000,000)  and  issue  letters  of  credit  for  up to two  million  dollars
($2,000,000) and requires the Company to meet certain  financial  covenants.  Of
the total $12,000,000 line, approximately  $11,000,000 is 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.

The Company's backlog at March 31, 2000 is approximately $220 million.

Market risk exposures to the Company are not material.

                           PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

           In 1992,  the Company's  former  professional  liability  insurer was
found  liable  for  approximately  $4,000,000  due  to  a  previous  arbitration
proceeding allegedly relating to an asset acquisition. The judgment was reversed
on appeal in 1994.  The plaintiffs in that action filed an action to enforce the
arbitration  in the Supreme  Court of New York in 1992 against the  Company.  On
March 3, 1994 the plaintiffs  sought to garnish the proceeds of the professional
liability policy by commencing a proceeding in the Philadelphia  Court of Common
Pleas  against  the  Company's   professional  liability  insurer.  The  Company
intervened  in the  garnishment  proceeding.  This  proceeding  had been  stayed
pending  resolution  of the Skinner  Litigation.  This  litigation is now moving
forward. The Company and the Company's  professional  liability insurer continue
to deny liability and intend to vigorously pursue defenses available to them. If
the  outcome of the  litigation  is adverse to the  Company  and the  Company is
required to pay amounts in excess of the policy limits of its insurance  policy,
it could have a material adverse effect on the earnings and financial  condition
of the  Company  in the year such  determination  is made;  however,  management
believes that the final  resolution of this  litigation will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.
