            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)

                                  June 30, 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 nine month  periods ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2000 (third  quarter fiscal 2000)
increased  14.8% as compared to the third  quarter of fiscal 1999 and  increased
8.9% as compared to the previous  quarter.  Operating  revenues  (total revenues
excluding  pass-through  costs) increased 14.2% as compared to the third quarter
of fiscal 1999 and remained constant with the previous quarter.

Pass-through  costs,  expressed as a percentage of total revenues,  increased to
28.7% as  compared to 28.3% in the third  quarter of fiscal  1999 and  increased
from 22.0% 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, increased to
84.9% for the third  quarter of fiscal  2000 from 84.1% in the third  quarter of
fiscal 1999 and increased  from 83.6% in the previous  quarter.  The increase in
the  percentage  from the  previous  quarter  was due mainly to an  increase  in
marketing opportunities.

General and  administrative  expense,  expressed  as a  percentage  of operating
revenue,  decreased to 7.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from 9.0% in the
third  quarter of fiscal 1999 and is comparable to 7.9% recorded in the previous
quarter.  The decrease from the third quarter of fiscal 1999 is due primarily to
the increase in operating revenues noted above.

Interest  income,  net of interest  expense,  decreased to $10,000 for the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $42,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 and from
$22,000 in the previous quarter due to lower cash balances as cash has been used
to finance growing operating activities.

Income tax  expense  for the third  quarter of fiscal  2000 was 47.3% of pre-tax
income  compared  to 46.1% in the  second  quarter  of fiscal  2000 and 48.4% of
pre-tax  income for the same  period  last year.  The  increase  from the second
quarter is due to non-deductible expenses being higher on lower


                                       6

pre-tax  income.  The decrease  from the third  quarter of fiscal 1999 is due to
non-deductible  expenses being lower as a percentage of increased  third quarter
pre-tax income.

Diluted  earnings per common share for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was $.27
cents versus $.22 cents for the third quarter of fiscal 1999.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Working  capital  increased  to  $20,697,000  from  $19,528,000  in the previous
quarter. Cash has declined by $7,176,000 since the beginning of the fiscal year.
This is due  primarily  to a  decline  in  pre-billings  in  excess  of costs of
$5,494,000,  an increase in accounts receivable related to growth of $4,168,000,
and the  purchases  of  property,  equipment,  and  software of  $2,189,000.  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 $10,000,000 and
issue  letters  of credit up to  $2,000,000  and  requires  the  Company to meet
certain  financial  covenants.  Approximately  $10,300,000  is  available on the
$12,000,000  line 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.

The Company's backlog at June 30, 2000 is approximately $200 million.
