                                     PART I
 
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
     Fluor Daniel GTI, Inc. (formerly Groundwater Technology, Inc.) and its
subsidiaries (collectively, "Fluor Daniel GTI" or the "Company") provide a broad
range of environmental, consulting, engineering and remediation services to a
variety of commercial and industrial customers and federal, state and local
government agencies. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in October 1975
and currently operates from 57 consulting offices throughout the United States
and in four foreign countries including Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada
and Italy.
 
     The principal services provided by the Company are detailed, scientific
environmental assessment and remediation programs, which combine elements of
hydrogeology, geochemistry, chemistry, biochemistry and engineering. The Company
also provides compliance, permitting and other environmental support services. A
typical program generally includes interaction with appropriate governmental
regulatory agencies, detailed site assessments, design and implementation of a
cost-effective remediation system, construction management services and ongoing
monitoring and maintenance of the system for the duration of the program. These
assessments and remediation programs are generally in response to regulatory
programs adopted by state agencies as well as U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA") programs, such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of
1976 ("RCRA") and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act ("CERCLA" or "Superfund Act"). The Company does not own or operate
a hazardous waste landfill or any other hazardous waste treatment, storage or
disposal facility.
 
     On May 10, 1996, the Company closed a series of transactions (the "Change
of Control Transactions") pursuant to which it became a majority-owned
subsidiary of Fluor Daniel, Inc. ("Fluor Daniel"), a global construction,
engineering, maintenance and services company. The Change of Control
Transactions included a recapitalization of the Company's common stock, and the
merger of one of the Company's subsidiaries and Fluor Daniel Environmental
Services, Inc. ("FDESI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fluor Daniel that
provides environmental services primarily to agencies of the federal government.
In exchange for FDESI and $35 million in cash, Fluor Daniel received 4,400,000
shares of the Company's "new" common stock and an option to purchase 1,768,970
additional shares at $13.1274 per share that expires on December 11, 1998. In
the recapitalization, each holder of "old" common stock received $8.62 in cash
and .5274 of a share of "new" common stock of the Company. In addition, the
Company entered into a Marketing Agreement with Fluor Daniel, and the Company
changed its name from "Groundwater Technology, Inc." to "Fluor Daniel GTI, Inc."
to emphasize the new relationship.
 
     On May 10, 1996, the Company changed its year end from April 30 to October
31; accordingly, the Company began a new 12-month fiscal year on November 1,
1996. The six month period resulting from this change, May 1, 1996 through
October 31, 1996, is referred to as the "Transition Period."
 
     Financial results for the Transition Period ended October 31, 1996 include
the operations of GTI as if the merger had occurred on May 1, 1996. Financial
activity for the period May 1, 1996 through May 9, 1996 was not significant.
 
SERVICES
 
     Fluor Daniel GTI provides a broad range of environmental consulting,
engineering and construction management services, which currently focus on the
assessment, remediation and monitoring of soil and groundwater using a broad
range of techniques and technologies. These services are provided separately or
in combination.
 
     Remedial Investigation and Assessment. Fluor Daniel GTI prepares
environmental profiles of sites, including hydrogeological and chemical
evaluations. A team of the Company's hydrogeologists, geologists, engineers,
chemists and technicians may use a variety of techniques, such as soil gas
mapping or the installation of a diagnostic monitoring well system. These
techniques provide the data necessary to determine
 
                                        1
<PAGE>   4
 
the extent of the contamination, as well as soil characteristics and groundwater
chemistry, flow and direction, and form the basis for the selection of a
remediation program.
 
     Fluor Daniel GTI also offers health and environmental risk assessment
services. Working in multi-disciplinary teams of toxicologists, environmental
scientists and industrial hygienists, the staff ascertains the health hazards
and risks produced by chemicals in the environment and the workplace. The risk
assessment services include site-specific exposure modeling and quantitative
risk assessment, hazard and risk communication programs, human health monitoring
and regulatory compliance, education, training and industrial hygiene services.
 
     Design and Remediation. The Company has particular experience in the design
and installation of remedial systems for the removal of contaminants from soil
and groundwater. Using information obtained in a site investigation and
assessment, and an evaluation of risks to human health, the Company designs a
remedial solution appropriate to the particular conditions present at the site.
These analyses help to define the appropriate level of remedial response and are
used as the basis for negotiating remediation goals with regulatory authorities.
 
     The Company evaluates alternatives, often conducting feasibility studies,
and the most appropriate response is selected. If action is required, a
cost-effective remediation system is engineered for the specific site. In some
instances, systems designed to contain existing contamination are appropriate.
Where remediation is required, the Company uses a wide range of physical,
chemical, biological and thermal treatment technologies in performing its
services, which are usually applied either on site or in situ. With on-site
restoration, the contaminated media, soil or groundwater is removed and treated.
With in situ restoration, the contaminants themselves are directly removed or
treated in place, without removing the soil or groundwater.
 
     Monitoring. The Company performs ongoing sampling and analysis of
groundwater, soils and air to regulate and adjust the remediation system. The
analysis also provides the data necessary to respond in a timely fashion to
changes in the levels of contaminants and other variables, and forms the basis
for ongoing reports to the appropriate governmental regulatory agencies.
 
     The Company generally charges its customers for its services on a time and
materials basis, typically with strict adherence to "not to exceed" limitations
contained in contracts for projects billed on this basis. Moreover, services are
subject to competitive bidding and are increasingly being performed on a fixed
contract or unit price basis. The Company is also increasing the marketing of
its services on a "pay for performance" incentive basis, and anticipates that
this will become a larger portion of its business in the future. Revenues are
also realized when the Company subcontracts for drilling, well materials,
electrical installation, laboratory analysis and other outside services. The fee
for a typical restoration program (including equipment) ranges from $100,000 to
$750,000, but for complex and lengthy programs the Company has billed as much as
several million dollars. Typical restoration programs generally require one to
five years to complete, and certain programs may take as long as ten or more
years.
 
REMEDIATION AND CONTAINMENT TECHNOLOGIES
 
     Fluor Daniel GTI has substantial experience in the commercialization and
practical field application of new and existing technologies for the treatment
or containment of hazardous wastes and uses many technologies to restore
contaminated groundwater, soils and air to acceptable standards. The primary
approaches used by the Company -- physical, chemical, biological and thermal --
are usually used for on-site and in situ treatment. These techniques are often
used in combination to achieve desired results.
 
     Physical treatments include those technologies that physically impact the
contaminants and the media, and include air stripping, vapor extraction and air
sparging. Air stripping involves pumping contaminated groundwater through either
a stripping tower or an air stripper system, which increases the evaporation
rate of hydrocarbon contaminants. Air flows through the unit countercurrent to
the water flow, "stripping" off the dissolved hydrocarbons at an increased rate.
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   5
 
     Soil vapor extraction is the removal of volatile organic compounds by
induced air flow. The air flow is induced by the application of a vacuum to
subsurface soils and may be enhanced by the simultaneous injection of air. An
important part of vapor extraction is treating the extracted contaminants.
 
     Air sparging is a process for treating soils and groundwater below the
water table by injecting air into the formation under pressure. The air
displaces the water in the soil and volatilizes the organic compounds present.
These compounds are then carried by the air stream out of the water table into
the soil above the water table, where they are captured by a vapor extraction
system. The Company has pioneered the use of ozone to enhance air sparging by
direct oxidation of contaminants.
 
     In situ bioremediation involves treating contaminated soil and groundwater
by adding an oxygen source and nutrients into the aquifer, where naturally
occurring bacteria biochemically break down the contaminants into non-toxic
materials. The added oxygen and nutrients enhance the population of natural
bacteria which normally feed on contaminants. By stimulating the growth of
selected bacteria, soil and groundwater quality is restored to acceptable
levels.
 
     Thermal treatment technologies take a number of forms. The principal form
of this technology used by the Company has been thermal desorption, which uses
heat to remove volatile compounds from a waste without oxidation of the
compounds. The Company has used steam injection and hot air injection to enhance
soil vapor extraction techniques on selected sites. Fluor Daniel GTI is also
exploring the use of co-burning of coal tar impacted soils.
 
     For certain wastes that are not amenable to biological or chemical
degradation, such as metals, the Company uses several in situ technologies that
can be used to reduce or prevent further leaching of contamination from soil to
groundwater or surface water, or to reduce or prevent further migration of the
contamination horizontally. These technologies can be used in combination with
control measures such as capping, which involves placing a physical barrier
above the contaminated area, and slurry walls, which involves placing a physical
barrier adjacent to the contaminated area.
 
     In situ fixation is a process that involves mixing chemical reagents with a
smaller volume of pumped groundwater, and then reinjecting the treated water
around the perimeter of a contaminated area. As the treated water moves through
the contaminated area, it promotes subsurface reactions that cause metals to fix
onto soil particles, thus rendering them immobile. The Company has used as
reagents lime and ferrous sulfate, and has also developed proprietary reagents
for in situ metals fixation.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGIES
 
     Between 1992 and 1995, the Company diversified its core environmental
consulting and engineering services away from a dependence on retail petroleum
customers and into government and industrial markets with the intention to have
its customer base roughly equate with the proportions of the total market for
soil and groundwater remediation services being purchased by those customers.
During this period, the Company perceived an evolving shift from governmental
enforcement of environmental laws and regulations to commercial considerations
as the primary source of demand for the Company's services, and the Company
increasingly faced strong price competition as a result of this shift. The
Company also divested non-core businesses -- its drilling operations and
equipment manufacturing business in 1993 and 1994, respectively, and its
analytical laboratories in December 1995. During this period the Company changed
its business mix through a combination of internal focus and two acquisitions,
and pursued teaming arrangements with larger engineering and construction firms
for specific projects in the government market.
 
     In connection with the Change of Control Transactions, the Company entered
into a Marketing Agreement with Fluor Daniel, pursuant to which the Company has
access to Fluor Daniel's worldwide marketing, engineering and construction, and
program management resources, which is intended to better enable the Company to
penetrate potential markets and, more generally, to respond to the competitive
challenges posed by current and anticipated developments in the environmental
services market. Fluor Daniel GTI serves as the preferred supplier for
environmental assessment, permitting and remediation services to Fluor Daniel
and its affiliates. However, there are no assurances provided in the Marketing
Agreement. Fluor
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   6
 
Daniel will continue to provide its customers with engineering and construction
services, as well as certain environmental services, such as Department of
Energy Management and Operations, Operating and Management, Management and
Integration services.
 
     The term of the Marketing Agreement expires in May 2006 unless further
extended by the parties. In the event Fluor Daniel ceases to own at least 20% of
the issued and outstanding equity of the Company, (a) Fluor Daniel, provided it
is not in breach of its obligations pursuant to Section 6.3(d) of the Investment
Agreement (described below), or the Company may terminate the Marketing
Agreement prior to expiration of the term; and (b) Fluor Daniel may revoke the
license of the Company and its subsidiaries to use the name "Fluor Daniel" in
the Company's corporate name. Section 6.3(d) of the Investment Agreement
provides that, until April 30, 1999, and with very limited exception, Fluor
Daniel is not permitted to dispose of any of its shares of the Company's common
stock without the prior approval of a majority of the independent directors
serving on the Company's Board of Directors.
 
     In addition to developing its new relationship with Fluor Daniel, the
Company will continue to hire and train geologists, engineers, chemists and
hydrogeologists in the specialized fields of environmental services and cleanup
of soil and groundwater in order to staff local offices. It is the Company's
belief that a local presence increases understanding of local environmental
statutes, regulations and regulatory agencies and fosters a constructive working
relationship with local agency personnel. The Company spends significant time
and resources on in-house educational programs at all levels to maintain and
improve the quality of its operations; and it has invested in information
systems to connect all of its U.S. offices by a computer network that allows
employees to share resources.
 
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND MARKET
 
     Public concern over health, safety and preservation of the environment has
resulted in the enactment of federal, state and local environmental laws and the
implementing regulations that affect nearly every industry. The enforcement of
these laws and regulations is responsible for creating much of the demand for
the services offered by the Company, and the renewal, modification or
elimination of these laws and regulations could significantly affect the
Company's business. Recently, the level of enforcement has waned due to
governmental budgeting constraints, and a number of laws set for reauthorization
for some time have not been reauthorized. The Company believes that, even apart
from cleanup activity attributable directly to funding authorized by these laws,
industry and governmental entities will continue to attempt to resolve hazardous
waste problems in order to comply with other statutory requirements and to avoid
liabilities to private parties.
 
     The principal legislation that affect the Company's business are as
follows:
 
     RCRA.  The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 established a
framework for federal and state regulation of hazardous wastes. In 1988, the EPA
issued regulations under RCRA that govern underground storage tanks containing
certain hazardous substances or petroleum. These regulations require the owners
of underground storage tanks to upgrade or close existing deficient tanks and to
install release detection equipment on existing tanks. In addition, these
regulations prescribe the procedures by which tank owners and operators should
investigate and report confirmed or suspected releases from tanks, and if
applicable, proceed with corrective actions.
 
     Superfund Act (CERCLA).  The Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 generally addresses cleanup of inactive
sites at which hazardous treatment, storage or disposal occurred in the past.
The Superfund Act authorizes the federal government to cleanup or order cleanup
of these sites. As of September 1997, there were approximately 1,250 sites on
the National Priority List ("NPL") subject to extensive monitoring and cleanup
work.
 
     In 1986, the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act ("SARA") was
enacted and increased environmental remediation activities significantly. SARA,
among other things, authorized additional federal expenditures and expanded the
EPA's enforcement powers, which encouraged and facilitated settlements with
potentially responsible parties. Superfund authorization for fiscal year 1996
was $1.3 billion. The trust fund balance was $3.1 billion in unappropriated
funds at the end of fiscal year 1996.
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   7
 
     Other Federal Legislation.  The Company believes that in addition to RCRA
and CERCLA, other federal laws will affect demand for its services. These laws
include the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act
and the Safe Drinking Water Act.
 
     State Legislation.  The federal statutes summarized above presuppose
significant state involvement in their administration and enforcement. Many
states have enacted their own statutes designed to protect and restore
environmental quality and to deal directly with the problem of soil and
groundwater contamination; and in some cases these statutes are different or
more stringent than the federal statutes. In addition, states have adopted
reimbursement programs to assist customers who are required to use the Company's
services. Some examples of these state reimbursement programs include the
Florida Inland Protection Trust Fund, the Massachusetts Underground Storage Tank
Petroleum Product Cleanup Fund, the Texas Petroleum Storage Tank Remediation
Fund and the California Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund.
 
     Permits, Licenses and Regulatory Approvals.  The installation and operation
of remediation systems are subject to various licensing, permitting, approval
and reporting requirements imposed by federal, state and local laws.
 
     For example, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES")
permits and other regulatory program permits are typically required in
connection with the installation of the recovery system, and the terms of these
permits often require ongoing reporting to governmental agencies concerning the
operation of the recovery system. Approvals of corrective action plans by the
appropriate regulatory agency is increasingly being required before a recovery
system can be installed to address contaminated soil or groundwater due to a
release from an underground storage tank.
 
     Various state and local laws require the monitoring wells and wells used in
the recovery process to be installed by licensed well drillers, and installation
of the recovery system may also require compliance with applicable provisions of
construction and zoning laws. Some states have also adopted testing and
licensing programs to regulate professionals who typically conduct subsurface
investigations and propose remedial action work plans.
 
     Fluor Daniel GTI employs individuals who specialize in obtaining the
required federal, state and local environmental and operational permits
necessary for the Company and its customers to install and operate remediation
systems. The Company also provides the documentation of the recovery process
necessary to assist its customers in satisfying applicable reporting
requirements.
 
CUSTOMERS AND MARKETING
 
     The Company provides services to a broad range of customers, including
petroleum companies, industrial companies, government agencies and international
customers. The Company has also worked with a number of engineering and
consulting firms in both the private and public sectors that manage projects
requiring the Company's services; however, given the new affiliation with Fluor
Daniel, the Company anticipates that it will have fewer opportunities to work as
a subcontractor with other engineering and construction firms.
 
     Industrial customers principally include large companies in the chemicals,
manufacturing, utility, electronics, real estate and transportation industries.
In the public sector, the Company's principal customers are federal government
agencies, including the Department of Defense and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, and other federal and state agencies. FDESI's primary clients include
the Department of Defense and the EPA.
 
     The Company anticipates that the affiliation with Fluor Daniel will create
new opportunities for the Company to market its services. The government market
has recently begun to indicate a preference for awarding substantial work to
single source providers. In addition, customers in the industrial markets are
moving from the assessment phase of their environmental projects into the
remediation phase. In this next phase of the environmental projects, substantial
resources in engineering and construction capabilities will be required. Under
the Marketing Agreement, the Company has access to the program management and
engineering and construction capabilities of Fluor Daniel necessary to compete
for this work.
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   8
 
     Within the North American operations, the Company focuses its marketing and
operational staff on three major markets -- petroleum, industrial/commercial and
government. Fluor Daniel GTI believes this market-centered focus, along with its
geographic diversification, allows it to provide responsive services to its
customers. Currently, most of the Company's jobs are performed for repeat
customers, and in the case of large petroleum and certain industrial customers,
pursuant to year-to-year, non-exclusive national buying contracts. There are no
minimum purchase requirements associated with these contracts.
 
     During the fiscal year, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of
the Company's revenues; and approximately 28% of revenues were derived from
petroleum customers, 42% from industrial/commercial customers and 22% from
federal, state and local government agencies. In addition, approximately 8% of
revenues in the fiscal year were derived from international customers. During
the Transition Period approximately 32% of revenues were derived from petroleum
customers, 39% from industrial/commercial customers, 22% from federal, state and
local government agencies, and approximately 7% of revenues from international
customers.
 
     Although Fluor Daniel GTI relies on repeat customers and work generated
through referrals and seminar appearances for a significant portion of its new
business, the Company maintains a dedicated sales force. At the end of the
fiscal year, the Company had 28 professionals dedicated to sales, and it has a
National Accounts Program to develop and maintain long-term relationships with
customers.
 
     In the last several years, an increasing amount of work has been done on a
competitive basis in response to customer requests for proposals. This has
required the dedication of significantly greater resources to proposal writing
and general business development. In addition, the Company has instituted an
extensive training and marketing program featuring internal and external
seminars and a comprehensive sales incentive plan. The Company is focusing its
direct sales and marketing efforts towards retaining its position in the retail
petroleum market and achieving continued growth in the upstream petroleum,
industrial and government markets.
 
PERSONNEL
 
     As of October 31, 1997, the Company had 1,216 employees. Of these 821 are
skilled professionals (geologists, hydrogeologists, engineers, chemists and
environmental scientists) who perform services in the field, 28 in sales and 367
in administrative support, financial, legal and accounting functions.
 
     The soil and groundwater remediation services market is very competitive
and requires highly skilled, experienced technical and management personnel. The
Company's ability to remain competitive is partially dependent on its ability to
attract and retain qualified personnel. None of the Company's employees are
represented by a labor organization. The Company considers its relations with
its employees to be satisfactory.
 
COMPETITION AND SEASONAL FACTORS
 
     The markets in which the Company competes are very competitive. The company
continues to face increasingly strong price competition. In each specific
service area of its business the Company competes with many engineering and
consulting firms that are both larger and smaller than the Company, although no
firm currently dominates any significant portion of those services. The Company
competes primarily on the basis of differentiated service quality, reputation,
expertise, geographic location and, to a lesser extent, price.
 
     The Company's quarterly results may fluctuate. Factors influencing such
variations include: spending decisions by major customers; delays in the release
of committed projects; weather; holidays and vacation time, which limit the
amount of time Company professional and technical personnel have in the field;
and the level of subcontracted services.
 
POTENTIAL LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
 
     A majority of the Company's revenues are derived from work involving
hazardous materials, toxic wastes and other pollutants that present significant
risks of liability for environmental damage, personal injury, fines and costs
imposed by regulatory agencies. Although liabilities arising from environmental
regulations are more
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   9
 
directly applicable to the Company's customers, these regulations, under certain
circumstances, could impose liability on the Company, and these liabilities can
be joint and several where other parties are involved. Although the Company does
not believe its services generally fall within any of these categories, when the
Company's remedial activities at any site involve the treatment, storage or
disposal of hazardous waste, it must adhere to the permitting and substantive
requirements of these regulations. Fluor Daniel GTI, through its in situ and
on-site capabilities, attempts to minimize for its customers the need to
transport hazardous substances. When transportation is required, the customers
themselves generally arrange for the disposal of hazardous substances. In
certain circumstances, however, the Company may subcontract for the
transportation and disposal of hazardous substances to treatment, storage or
disposal facilities for certain customers.
 
     The non-environmental liabilities associated with the Company's services
also involve a significant degree of risk. In addition, a substantial number of
the Company's contracts with its customers require the Company to indemnify the
customer for claims, damages or losses for personal injury or property damage
relating to the Company's performance of the contracts, unless such injury or
damage is the result of the customer's negligent or willful acts or omissions.
 
     Fluor Daniel GTI maintains health and safety and quality assurance/quality
control programs to reduce the risk of potential damage to persons and property,
as well as other losses. During the fiscal year, the Company maintained its
environmental impairment liability coverage with its professional liability
coverage under one policy. While the Company believes it operates safely and
prudently, there are various exclusions under its insurance policies and there
can be no assurance that all possible liabilities that may be incurred by the
Company are covered by its insurance or that the dollar amount of such
liabilities will not exceed the Company's policy limits. Further, the cost and
limited availability of insurance has resulted in the Company's use of
self-insurance under certain policies. Management believes an adequate level of
insurance coverage has been provided. Prior to the Change in Control
Transactions, FDESI's insurance was provided by Fluor Daniel. This coverage
ceased to be provided by Fluor Daniel at completion of the merger.
 
PATENTS AND TECHNOLOGY
 
     Fluor Daniel GTI believes that its intellectual property and know-how are
important to its business and have been established by the Company through its
technical expertise, understanding of regulations, skill in the design and
implementation of treatment processes, and investment in technology development.
The Company has filed several patent applications covering remediation processes
and claims copyright and trade secret protection on certain computer software,
publications and technical standard operating procedures. The Company does not
believe that such patent applications and copyrights are a material factor in
its business.
 
FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE PERFORMANCE
 
     Any of the comments in this annual report on Form 10-K that refer to the
Company's estimated or future results, such as future cost controls and
improvement in profitability, are forward-looking and reflect the Company's
current analysis of existing trends and information. Actual results may differ
materially from current expectations or projections based on a number of factors
affecting the Company's businesses. These factors include those items disclosed
above under the heading "Competition and Seasonal Factors" and "Potential
Liability and Insurance", as well as the following factors.
 
     Uncertainty of Government Market for Environmental Services.  The Company's
affiliation with Fluor Daniel is intended to increase the ability of the Company
to further penetrate the market for environmental services, particularly
services for the federal government. The size of the government market and the
extent of that market's demand for environmental services, however, is subject
to change based on, among other factors, legislative and regulatory developments
and budget and spending decisions of governmental bodies. There can be no
assurance that the demand for environmental services in the government market
will achieve or remain at levels that will permit the Company to grow by
penetration of such market, and any reduction in the size of the government
market could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and
operating results.
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   10
 
     Difficulty of Implementing Marketing Strategy.  Growth of the Company
through further penetration of the environmental services market, particularly
services for the federal government, is dependent upon the Company's ability to
realize the benefits of the relationship with Fluor Daniel contemplated by the
Marketing Agreement and the integration of FDESI with the Company. Substantial
attention and a high level of coordination from management of both the Company
and Fluor Daniel will be required to realize the anticipated benefits of the
relationship. Further, the attention and resources devoted by Fluor Daniel to
the implementation and realization of the potential benefits of the relationship
are not within the control of the Company, and there can be no assurance that
Fluor Daniel will either devote the necessary attention and resources to
successfully implement the Marketing Agreement or that it will perform its
obligations under the Marketing Agreement. The diversion of the attention of the
Company's management from other aspects of the Company's business, and any
difficulties encountered in the implementation process, could have an adverse
impact on the revenues and operating results of the Company. There can be no
assurance that the anticipated benefits of the relationship will be realized.
 
     Deterrence of Potential Customers.  The Company anticipates that its close
affiliation with Fluor Daniel could deter other large engineering and
construction firms that compete with Fluor Daniel from retaining the Company as
a subcontractor or teaming partner for projects requiring environmental
services.
 
     Other Factors.  Other risk factors affecting the Company's estimated or
future results include but are not limited to, cost overruns on fixed, maximum,
or unit-priced contracts; contract performance risks; the uncertain timing of
awards and contracts; and changes in environmental regulations; as well as,
changes in the enforcement of those regulations. Any forward-looking statements
represent the Company's judgement only as the date of this Form 10-K. As a
result, the reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements.
The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking
statements. Additional information concerning these and other factors can be
found in the Company's public periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
 
ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
 
     The Company's executive offices are located in a 40,340 square foot office
leased in Norwood, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. The term of the Company's
lease for this office space expires July 31, 2002.
 
     The Company owns two buildings -- a 15,540 square foot, one-story brick and
concrete building in Wichita, Kansas, which is leased to a third party, and a
6,050 square foot, two-story building in Kingsgrove, Australia, which houses
consulting and administrative staff. The Company leases space for offices and
warehouses in 57 cities in the United States, as well as Canada, the United
Kingdom, Australia and Italy. Sizes of leased space range from 150 square feet
to 42,000 square feet. Lease terms for offices typically range from one to seven
years.
 
     The Company believes that its existing facilities are adequate to meet
current requirements and that suitable additional or substitute space will be
available as needed to accommodate any expansion of operations and for
additional offices.
 
ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company is a party to a number of claims and lawsuits incidental to the
ordinary conduct of its business. Based upon analyses of the facts underlying
these matters and upon discussions with counsel, management does not believe
that the outcome of any or all of these matters will have a material adverse
effect upon its business or financial condition.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  A.  General -- Fluor Daniel GTI, Inc.
 
     On May 10, 1996, the Company closed a series of transactions (the "Change
of Control Transactions") pursuant to which it became a majority-owned
subsidiary of Fluor Daniel, Inc. ("Fluor Daniel"), a global construction,
engineering, maintenance and services company. The Change of Control
Transactions included a recapitalization of the Company's common stock, and the
merger of one of the Company's subsidiaries and Fluor Daniel Environmental
Services, Inc. ("FDESI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fluor Daniel that
provides environmental services primarily to agencies of the federal government.
In exchange for FDESI and $35 million in cash, Fluor Daniel received 4,400,000
shares of the Company's "new" common stock and an option to purchase 1,768,970
additional shares at $13.1274 per share that expires on December 11, 1998. In
the recapitalization, each holder of "old" common stock received $8.62 in cash
and .5274 of a share of "new" common stock of the Company. In addition, the
Company entered into a Marketing Agreement with Fluor Daniel, and the Company
changed its name from "Groundwater Technology, Inc." to "Fluor Daniel GTI, Inc."
to emphasize the new relationship.
 
     The merger of GTI and FDESI was treated as a reverse acquisition for
accounting purposes, and therefore, the statements of operations, cash flows and
parent company investment for each of the two years in the period ended April
30, 1996 represent the historical results of FDESI, which is the predecessor
entity.
 
     On May 10, 1996, the Company changed its year end from April 30 to October
31; accordingly, the Company began a new 12-month fiscal year on November 1,
1996. The six month period resulting from this change, May 1, 1996 through
October 31, 1996, is referred to as the "Transition Period."
 
     Financial results for the Transition Period ended October 31, 1996 include
the operations of GTI as if the merger had occurred on May 1, 1996. Financial
activity for the period May 1, 1996 through May 9, 1996 was not significant.
 
     The Company's services are primarily related to the assessment and
remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater for customers in a variety of
industries and for federal and state governments. The demand for the Company's
services is a result of governmental regulation and enforcement related to
hazardous contaminants in the environment.
 
     Revenue includes fees billed for services provided directly by the Company
and fees charged by the Company for arranging and managing subcontractor
services. Cost of sales includes professional salaries incurred in rendering
services to customers, other direct labor, purchases of equipment and materials
and certain direct and indirect overhead costs. Selling, general and
administrative expenses includes management salaries, facility costs, and
clerical and administrative overhead. License and other income includes license
and royalty income earned on the Company's intellectual property and income from
direct equity investments in the environmental industry.
 
     As of October 31, 1997, the Company had 57 consulting offices in 32 states
and 4 foreign countries, including Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and
Italy. Total employees as of October 31, 1997 were 1,216.

  Fiscal year ended October 31, 1997 compared with the proforma results for the
year ended October 31, 1996.
 
     The proforma period reflects the historical results of the predecessor
entity Fluor Daniel Environmental Services (FDESI) for the six months ended
April 30, 1996, Groundwater Technology, Inc. for the six months ended April 30,
1996 and Fluor Daniel GTI, Inc. for the six months ended October 31, 1996 and
are summarized as follows:
 
<TABLE>
        <S>                                                                 <C>

</TABLE>
 
     Revenues for the fiscal year were $190.5 million versus $187.5 for the
proforma comparable period last year. The company continues to experience
heightened competition within almost all assessment and remediation markets.
 
     Gross profit for the fiscal year was $39.7 million versus $42.3 million for
the proforma comparable period last year. As a percentage of revenues, gross
profit for the fiscal year was 20.8% versus 22.6% for the proforma comparable
period ended October 31, 1996. The gross profit for the fiscal year has been
impacted by continued pricing pressures for services performed and a charge of
$1.5 million in labor and salary costs associated with writing government
proposals. These additional costs had an adverse impact on gross margin. The
Company's gross margin will continue to be impacted by pricing pressure in the
near term.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year were $39.8
million versus $43.0 for the proforma comparable period last year. Included in
such costs for this fiscal year is $583,000 in outside vendor costs associated
with the preparation of government proposals. Also included is a charge of
$830,000 for payroll and benefits related to an overhead cost reduction plan.
 
     License and other income for the fiscal year was $576,000 versus $1.6
million for the proforma comparable period ended October 31, 1996. In the twelve
months ended October 31, 1996, other income contained a receipt of $889,000 from
the sale of an investment, this did not occur in fiscal year ended October 31,
1997.
 
     The tax rate at 41.5% for the fiscal year as compared to 41.4% for the
proforma comparable period last year. The rate for the year ended October 31,
1996 was adversely impacted by state taxes. This impact does not reoccur in this
fiscal year. The realization of deferred tax assets related to foreign operating
losses is dependent on maintaining existing levels of pretax earnings at each
location.
 
TRANSITION PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER
31, 1995
 
     Revenues for the Transition Period were $89.1 million. The Company
continued to experience a decrease in work from petroleum customers and the
federal government as well as continued competition within almost all assessment
and remediation markets.
 
     Gross profit for the Transition Period was $19.1 million. As a percentage
of revenues, gross profit for the Transition Period was 21.5%. The gross profit
for the Transition Period has been impacted by continued pricing pressures for
services performed and it is not expected that the Company's performance will
significantly improve in the near term.
 
     Selling, general and administrative for the Transition Period was $20.4
million. There were no unusual expenses in selling, general and administrative
during this period.
 
     License and other income for the Transition Period was $1.1 million.
License and other income was impacted by the receipt of $889,000 from the sale
of an investment.
 
     The tax rate at 57.7% for the Transition Period was unusually high, mainly
due to the impact of state taxes. State taxes were not reduced significantly
relative to the low income for the period because their computation is based on
a number of components such as equity and revenue. The tax rate was also
adversely
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   15
 
affected by expense items which are not tax deductible, such as meals and
entertainment and certain portions of goodwill.
 
     Pro forma results for the six months ended October 31, 1995, presented as
though the merger of FDESI and GTI had occurred on May 1, 1995, were net income
of approximately $1.0 million on revenues of approximately $105.0 million.
 
  Inflation/Foreign Currency Transactions
 
     The Company's operations have not been, and in the foreseeable future are
not expected to be, materially affected by inflation, changing prices or
fluctuations in the exchange rates for foreign currency transactions.
 
  B.  General -- Fluor Daniel Environmental Services, Inc. (Predecessor Entity)
 
     The financial data presented herein reflects the financial position and
results of operations as if the contracts and personnel which constitute the
environmental remediation business of Fluor Daniel had been operating entirely
through FDESI for all periods presented. Operations reflect environmental
remediation contract work performed by Fluor Daniel personnel for federally
funded non-Department of Energy contracts, remediation projects for other
government agencies and environmental risk assessment, permitting and
remediation for commercial clients, for the periods presented. Additionally,
FDESI provides certain environmental consulting services to Fluor Daniel and
other affiliated entities.
 
     Indirect expenses include non-project costs of environmental services
personnel assigned to the environmental operations of Fluor Daniel who are
available to provide services to FDESI's clients and other Fluor Daniel clients.
Additionally, other indirect expenses primarily include charges from Fluor
Daniel for the fair value of rent for occupied space, computer usage and other
costs. There has been no allocation of corporate general and administrative
expenses by Fluor Daniel as management believes that no significant general and
administrative expenses were incurred with respect to FDESI's operations beyond
those reflected in the financial statements.
 
     FDESI's operations include projects in both the commercial and government
sectors. Although the mix of projects fluctuates from year to year, government
projects represent a significant portion of total revenues. The uncertain timing
of project awards can create variability in FDESI's operations, consequently,
trends are difficult to predict with certainty.
 
     The effective tax rate on earnings is essentially unchanged for all periods
presented. Under a tax allocation practice, FDESI is charged or credited by
Fluor Daniel for federal income taxes, if any, generally at the U.S. statutory
rate. FDESI is also charged or credited for state income taxes.
 
  Fiscal 1996 Compared with Fiscal 1995
 
     Revenues and net income for the year ended April 30, 1996 were $34.5
million and $1.1 million respectively, compared with $35.4 million and $656,000
for the year ended April 30, 1995. The decrease in revenues is primarily
attributable to lower revenues on Department of Defense ("DOD") contracts in
1996 compared with 1995. This decrease was partially offset by higher revenues
on commercial projects in 1996 compared with 1995. Government projects
contributed 50% of total revenues for the year ended April 30, 1996 compared
with 39% for the same period of 1995.
 
     Total indirect expenses increased to $6.9 million for the year ended April
30, 1996 from $5.9 million for the same period of 1995, due primarily to
increased proposal costs for environmental remediation on DOD prospects.
 
  C.  Financial Position and Liquidity
 
     At October 31, 1997, the Company's primary source of liquidity was $11.0
million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company has no
long-term borrowings. At October 31, 1997, the Company had a line of credit with
a bank providing for borrowings up to $10.0 million through April 30, 1999.
There have been no borrowings under the line of credit.
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   16
 
     Approximately $7.3 million in net cash was generated from operating
activities during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997. At October 31, 1997,
the Company's working capital was $59.8 million. Total assets were $103.1
million at the end of the same period.
 
     Cash flows from investing activities were impacted by approximately $2.5
million of expenditures in property, plant and equipment that were made to
upgrade the Company's computer and rental equipment. The Company had no material
commitments for capital expenditures as of October 31, 1997 and estimates
spending for the next twelve months to be approximately $2.5 million,
principally for the general expansion of operations and replacement of
depreciated assets.
 
     Prior to the Change of Control Transactions, FDESI, the predecessor
company, was dependent upon Fluor Daniel for continued financing, including
funding required, if any, for settlement of claims, working capital requirements
and third party bid and performance guarantees made in the ordinary course of
business; and FDESI advanced to and received non-interest bearing funds from
Fluor Daniel. The funding mechanism ceased to exist at completion of the Change
of Control Transactions.
 
     Funding requirements for operations are expected to be met from existing
cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash generated from
operations. The Company believes that cash provided from these sources will be
sufficient to meet its operating requirements for the near term.
 
  D.  Impact Year 2000
 
     The Company initiated a review of its software systems in early 1996 in
view of the fact that certain systems will not recognize dates after the year
1999, which could cause those systems to produce invalid results. This is
commonly referred to as "the Year 2000 problem." The company has substantially
completed the assessment phase of all major systems and, in some cases, has made
the required changes and is in the process of completing the installation phase.
Based upon the results of the work done to date, the company believes that the
remaining work will be completed in a timely manner and that the overall cost of
such work will not be material. The company expenses such costs when incurred.
There can be no assurance, however, that further work will not identify issues
which could change the company's present assessment of the cost of addressing
this issue.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
     On December 12, 1996, the Company dismissed the accounting firm of Coopers
& Lybrand LLP ("C&L") and engaged the accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP
("E&Y") to be the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending
October 31, 1997. The Company's Board of Directors approved the decision to
change accountants upon the recommendation of the Company's Audit Committee.
 
     E&Y serves as independent auditors for the Company's parent company, Fluor
Daniel, Inc. and Fluor Daniel, Inc.'s former subsidiary, Fluor Daniel
Environmental Services, Inc. ("FDESI"), which was merged with and became a
subsidiary of the Company on May 10, 1996.
 
     On July 26, 1995, the Company had dismissed E&Y and engaged C&L to be the
Company's independent accountants for the fiscal year ended April 27, 1996. C&L
also was engaged to be the independent accountants for the Transition Period May
1, 1996 through October 31, 1996, which resulted from the Company changing its
fiscal year end to October 31, the fiscal year-end of Fluor Daniel, Inc.
 
     During the period of engagement of E&Y there have been no "disagreements"
between the Company and E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, or any
"reportable events", as those terms are defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
 
     C&L's reports on the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year
ended April 27, 1996 and the Transition Period ended October 31, 1996 contained
no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified
as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Fluor Daniel GTI, Inc. at October 31, 1997, and the consolidated results of its

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1
 
  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.  Fluor Daniel GTI, Inc. provides a broad range of
environmental consulting, engineering, and construction management services.
These services currently focus on the assessment and remediation of contaminated
soil and groundwater using a broad range of techniques an technologies. These
services are provided separately or in combination for customers in a variety of
industries and for federal and state governments. Accordingly, the Company
operates in one industry segment.
 
     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION.  The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Fluor Daniel GTI, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the
"Company"). All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been
eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current period presentation. The Company accounts for its investments in
unconsolidated affiliated companies under the equity method.
 
     BASIS OF PRESENTATION.  On May 10, 1996, the Company closed a series of
transactions (the "Change of Control Transactions") pursuant to which it became
a majority-owned subsidiary of Fluor Daniel, Inc. ("Fluor Daniel"), a global
construction, engineering, maintenance and services company. The Change of
Control Transactions included a recapitalization of the Company's common stock,
and the merger of one of the Company's subsidiaries and Fluor Daniel
Environmental Services, Inc. ("FDESI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fluor
Daniel that provides environmental services primarily to agencies of the federal
government. In exchange for FDESI and $35 million in cash, Fluor Daniel received
4,400,000 shares of the Company's "new" common stock and an option to purchase
1,768,970 additional shares at $13.1274 per share that expires on December 11,
1998. In the recapitalization, each holder of "old" common stock received $8.62
in cash and .5274 of a share of "new" common stock of the Company. In addition,
the Company entered into a Marketing Agreement with Fluor Daniel, and the
Company changed its name from "Groundwater Technology, Inc." to "Fluor Daniel
GTI, Inc." to emphasize the new relationship.
 
     The merger was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes,
and therefore, the related statements of operations, cash flows and parent
company investment for the period ended April 30, 1996, represent the historical
results of FDESI, which is the predecessor entity.
 
     The historical financial statements of FDESI have been adjusted to reflect
the "carved out" financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
FDESI as if the contracts and personnel that constitute the environmental
remediation business of Fluor Daniel had been operating as a separate entity.
Operations reflect the environmental remediation contract work performed by
Fluor Daniel personnel for federally funded non-Department of Energy contracts,
remediation projects for other government agencies and environmental risk
assessment, permitting and remediation for commercial clients. Additionally, the
Company provides certain environmental consulting services to Fluor Daniel and
other affiliated entities. The historical financial statements do not include an
allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses by Fluor Daniel as
management believes that no significant general and administrative expenses were
incurred with respect to FDESI's operations beyond those reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.
 
     On May 10, 1996, the Company changed its year end from April 30 to October
31; accordingly, the Company began a new 12-month fiscal year on November 1,
1996. The six month period resulting from this change, May 1, 1996 through
October 31, 1996, is referred to as the "Transition Period."
 
     Financial results for the Transition Period ended October 31, 1996 include
the operations of GTI as if the merger had occurred on May 1, 1996. Financial
activity for the period May 1, 1996 through May 9, 1996 was not significant.
 
     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS.  Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on
hand, demand deposit accounts and investments in tax-exempt money market funds
and tax-exempt municipal bonds having original maturities of three months or
less or which contain a put option which can be exercised at par within three

months of the date of acquisition. These investments are highly liquid and are
considered cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which
approximates market.
 
     MARKETABLE SECURITIES.  The Company accounts for its investments under the
provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The
Company's investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and
recorded at current market value.
 
     PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION.  Property, plant and
equipment are stated at cost. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to
operations when incurred, while betterments are capitalized. Depreciation and
amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. The estimated useful life of each class of asset is as
follows:
 
<TABLE>
            <S>                                                           <C>
            Buildings and equipment.....................................    25 years
            Leasehold improvements......................................   1-7 years
            Machinery and equipment.....................................     3 years
            Laboratory equipment........................................     7 years
            Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment..................   3-5 years
            Rental equipment............................................     2 years
</TABLE>
 
     Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed of and the
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or
loss is reflected in income.
 
     INTANGIBLES.  Intangibles consist principally of goodwill and other
intangible assets resulting from acquisitions. Amortization is computed on a
straight-line basis not to exceed twenty years. The carrying value of intangible
assets is periodically reviewed by the Company and impairments are recognized
when the expected future operating cash flows derived from such intangible
assets is less than their carrying value.
 
     INDIRECT EXPENSES.  Indirect expenses include indirect non-project costs of
environmental services personnel assigned to the environmental operations of
FDESI, who were available to provide services to FDESI's clients while it was a
subsidiary of Fluor Daniel. Additionally, FDESI was charged by Fluor Daniel for
the fair value of rent for occupied space, computer usage and rental and
reproduction costs.
 
     TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS.  For
non-U.S. operations, the functional currency is the applicable local currency.
The translation of the functional currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for
balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance
sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using average rates of exchange
prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the
translation of foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a
separate component of stockholders' equity until the entity is sold or
substantially liquidated. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are included in the results of operations.
 
     EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE.  Earnings per share is based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per share has not been presented as the
amount does not differ significantly from primary earnings per share.
 
     Earnings per share information for periods prior to the merger between
FDESI and GTI has been omitted since FDESI, the predecessor entity for
accounting purposes, had no publicly traded equity securities.
 
     EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS.  Proceeds from the sale of common stock issued under
the employee stock option and purchase plans are credited to common stock at the
par value. The excess of the share price over par value is credited to
additional paid-in capital. The Company's stock plans are accounted for under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" (APB25), and related interpretations (see Note 9.)
 
     REVENUE RECOGNITION.  Revenue is recognized when services are performed.
Certain projects are accounted for on the percentage-of-completion method,
primarily based on contract costs incurred to date

compared with total estimated contract costs. Changes to total estimated
contract costs and losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they
are determined. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed are classified
as current assets under unbilled revenues. Amounts billed to clients in excess
of revenues recognized to date are classified as advance billings on contracts.
 
     LICENSE AND OTHER INCOME.  License and other income includes license and
royalty income earned on the Company's intellectual property and income from
equity investments in the environmental industry.
 
     RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES.  Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the
customer's financial condition, with terms consistent in the industry and
normally collateral is not required. Losses from credit sales are provided for
in the financial statements and have been generally within the allowance
provided. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Significant estimates include collectability of accounts
receivable and unbilled revenues and recovery of intangible assets and deferred
tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact
future results of operations and cash flows.
 
     EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.  In February 1997, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128.) SFAS No. 128 redefines
the standards for computing earnings per share and is effective for the
Company's fiscal year 1998. Accordingly, earnings per share information included
in the accompanying financial statements are based upon Accounting Board Opinion
No. 15, not SFAS No. 128. The Company believes adoption of the new standards
will not have a material impact on future earnings per share calculations.
 
     In June 1997, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which is effective for the Company's
fiscal year 1999. The Statement establishes standards for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company's financial statements or results of
operations.
 
     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131. Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information (Statement 131), which is effective for years
beginning after December 15, 1997. Statement 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. It
also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers. Statement 131 is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and therefore the
company will adopt the new requirements retroactively in its fiscal year ending
October 31, 1999. Management has not fully completed its review of Statement
131, but does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a
significant effect on the Company.
 
     In 1997, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123). In accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company applies Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Under APB
25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals
the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no
compensation expense is recognized. Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements contains a summary of the pro forma effects on reported net income
and earnings per share in 1997 and 1996 as if the Company had elected to
recognize compensation expense based on the fair value at grant date of the
stock options granted and the fair value at the beginning of the plan period for
stock issued under its employee stock purchase plan, as prescribed by SFAS 123.

  Marketable Securities
 
     Marketable securities consisted principally of municipal obligations which
contain a put option that can be exercised at par with various maturity dates.
The Company considers these investments, which represent funds available for
current operations, an integral component of its cash management activities. The
investments in municipal obligations represent principally "A" rated or better
investment grade securities with no significant concentrations in any one issue.
 
     Available-for-sale securities mature as follows:

     Unbilled revenues represent amounts earned under the Company's contracts
but not billed or not yet billable to customers according to contract terms,
which usually consider passage of time, achievement of certain project
milestones or completion of the project. The majority of unbilled revenues at
October 31, 1997 are expected to be billed within one year.

     The operations of FDESI were included in the consolidated federal income
tax return of Fluor Corp., the ultimate parent company of Fluor Daniel, Inc.
Under a tax allocation practice, FDESI was charged by Fluor Daniel for federal
and state income taxes, if any, generally at statutory rates.
 
     As a result of the tax allocation practice, tax benefits associated with
pre-1993 losses were recognized in the year the loss occurred. If FDESI had
filed a separate return, these tax benefits would have been recognized in later
years, resulting in the elimination of substantially all of the income tax
expense for the years 1993 through 1995.

  Related Parties
 
     The Company provides certain environmental consulting services to Fluor
Daniel and other affiliated entities. Revenues from these consulting services
have been reflected in the accompanying statements in accordance with a
Marketing Agreement ("the Agreement") signed in conjunction with the Investment
Agreement between the Company and Fluor Daniel. Under the terms of the
Agreement, affiliates are charged for labor cost plus established multipliers on
base compensation. Due to the variable and often unpredictable nature of the
Company's work load, consulting services are provided to Fluor Daniel as
conditions allow. Revenues from Fluor Daniel and other affiliated entities were
$10,222,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, $1,058,000 for the
Transition Period ended October 31, 1996 and $4,507,000 and $4,941,000 for the
years ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
     Prior to the change of control transactions, FDESI, the predecessor
company, was dependent upon Fluor Daniel for continued financing, including
funding required, if any, for settlement of claims, working capital requirements
and third party bid and performance guarantees made in the ordinary course of
business; and FDESI advanced and received non-interest bearing funds from Fluor
Daniel. The funding mechanism ceased to exist upon completion of the merger.

  Commitments and Contingencies
 
     LEASE COMMITMENTS.  The Company leases virtually all of its facilities
under operating leases. Most of these leases have renewal options, and certain
of them require increasing rent payments over the term of the

     Rent expense charged to operations was $4,858,000 for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1997 and $2,530,000 for the Transition Period.
 
     OTHER COMMITMENTS.  A substantial number of the Company's contracts with
its customers require the Company to indemnify the customer for claims, damages,
or losses for personal injury or property damage relating to the Company's
performance of the contracts unless such injury or damage is solely the result
of the customer's negligent or willful acts or omissions. A number of the
insurance policies maintained by the Company for this purpose are provided
through arrangements which require the Company to indemnify the insurance
carrier for all losses and expenses under the policies and to support its
indemnity commitments with letters of credit. At October 31, 1997, such letters
of credit aggregated $7,968,702. In addition, provisions for losses expected
under these and other policies of $2,074,000 are included in other accrued
liabilities at October 31, 1997. Management believes an adequate level of
insurance coverage has been provided. The Company has guaranteed a $700,000 line
of credit for Enterprise Environmental and Earthworks, Inc., an investee
accounted for under the equity method.
 
     CONTINGENCIES.  In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the
Company becomes involved in a number of lawsuits and administrative proceedings,
including environmentally related matters. Some of these proceedings may result
in fines, penalties or judgments being assessed against the Company which, from
time to time, may have an impact on earnings for a particular quarter. The
Company does not believe that these matters, individually or in the aggregate,
will have a material adverse effect on its operations, cash flows or financial
condition.

  Capital Stock and Stock Plans
 
     The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as
discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB
Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of
option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee
stock options or employee stock purchase plans. Under APB 25, because the
exercise price of the Company's stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
 
     AMENDED AND RESTATED 1987 STOCK PLAN.  Pursuant to the plan, as amended,
1,917,089 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance upon the
exercise of options or in connection with awards or authorizations to make
direct purchases of stock. The plan provides for the granting of both
nonstatutory stock options and incentive stock options. The recipients, terms,
and option prices are to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors and, in the case of incentive stock options, may not be less
than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. The
exercise of incentive stock options is limited by the provisions of the plan,
but in no case may the exercise period extend beyond ten years

from the date of grant. All options outstanding under the plan on May 10, 1996
have been adjusted pursuant to the Change of Control Transactions.
 
     AMENDED AND RESTATED 1986 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN.  Under the
Company's Amended and Restated 1986 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, up to 600,000
shares of common stock may be sold to eligible employees. Those individuals
employed a minimum of 20 hours per week are eligible to participate in the plan.
Shares are issuable at the lesser of 85% of the average market price of the
Company's common stock on the first day or last day of semi-annual payment
periods. At October 31, 1997, 136,015 shares were available for issuance under
the plan.
 
     AMENDED AND RESTATED 1995 DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN.  Pursuant to the
plan, as amended, 108,114 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance upon
the exercise of options. Each non-employee director who satisfies certain other
requirements is granted an initial option to purchase 5,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. Once per year each non-employee director will receive an
option to purchase an additional 2,500 shares of common stock. To be eligible, a
director cannot be an employee of the Company or any affiliate of the Company.
The purchase price of the option granted is the fair market value of the shares
on the day the option is granted. Each option becomes exercisable with respect
to one third of the shares subject to such option on each anniversary of the
date of the grant. Options expire seven years after the date of grant and are
nonassignable and nontransferable. All options outstanding under the plan on May
10, 1996 have been adjusted pursuant to the Change of Control Transactions.
 
     PREFERRED STOCK.  Terms of the preferred stock will be established at time
of issuance.
 
     1997 STOCK PLAN.  Pursuant to the plan, 290,000 shares of common stock has
been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options or in conjunction with
awards or authorizations to make direct purchase of stock. The plan provides for
the granting of both nonstatutory stock options and incentive stock options
(ISOs). The recipients, terms and option price are to be determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The exercise price of the ISO
cannot be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
grant. The exercise of incentive stock options is limited by the provisions of
the plan, but in no case may the exercise period extend more than ten years.
During the fiscal year, 5,000 shares under option with a weighted average
exercise price of $6.38 were granted under this plan and remain outstanding at
October 31, 1997. At October 31, 1997, 285,000 shares were available for grant
and zero shares were exercisable under the 1997 Stock Plan.
 
     Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by Statement 123, and has been determined as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock option awards (stock options) and employee
stock purchase plan (stock purchase shares) under the fair value method of that
Statement. The fair value for stock options granted during 1997 was estimated at
the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of approximately 6%,
volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of
 .44: weighted-average expected life of the options of 5 years, and no dividends.
There were no stock options granted during the Transition Period ended October
31, 1996.
 
     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options and stock purchase
shares have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do
not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its
employee stock options or its stock purchase shares.
 
     For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options and stock purchase shares is amortized to expense over the options'
vesting period or during the period in which the employee stock purchase plan
begins, respectively. Had compensation expense for the Company's stock-based
compensation

plans been determined based upon the fair market value at the grant date for
stock option awards and at the beginning of the plan period for stock purchased
under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan, consistent with the methodology
prescribed under SFAS 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would
have been $636,000 or $.08 per share, and $80,000, or $.01 per share, in 1997
and 1996, respectively. The effects on net income and earnings per share of
expensing the estimated fair value of stock options and stock purchase shares
are not necessarily representative of the effects on reported net income for
future years due to such factors as the vesting period of the stock options and
the potential for additional stock options in future years. Additionally, the
disclosure requirements of Statement 123 are presently applicable only to stock
options and stock purchase shares granted subsequent to October 31, 1996 and
their effect will not be fully reflected until later periods.

  Employee Benefit Plans
 
     PROFIT SHARING PLAN AND BONUS PERFORMANCE PLAN.  During the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1997, the Company had a profit sharing plan for the benefit of
all employees meeting certain minimum service requirements. The plan provided
for a 2% of pre-tax operating income to be distributed to employees at the end
of the fiscal year.
 
     The Company has bonus performance programs covering eligible employees
under which awards are made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors. Bonus expense was approximately $397,000, for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1997. Bonus expense for the Transition Period was
$415,000.
 
     RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN.  The Company has a Retirement Savings Plan under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of all U. S.
employees meeting certain minimum service requirements. Eligible employees may
elect to contribute to the plan up to 12% of their cash compensation, subject to
limitations established by the Internal Revenue Code. The trustees of the plan
select investment opportunities from which participants may choose to
contribute.
 
The plan requires a matching contribution by the Company of 100% on the first
1%, and 25% on the next 4% of each participant's contribution, but not greater
than the maximum allowable under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company may also
contribute a discretionary amount to the plan which may be allocated to
employees based upon employees' contributions to the plan. The Company's
matching contributions currently vest at a rate of 25% per year based upon years
of service. The Company's contributions to this plan were $983,000, for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1997 and $464,000 for the Transition Period ended
October 31, 1996.
 
     The Company has various defined contribution plans covering substantially
all non-U. S. employees. The Company's contributions to these plans were
$258,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997 and $115,000 for the
Transition Period ended October 31, 1996.
 
     Prior to the merger, employees of FDESI who met certain eligibility
requirements participated in a non-contributory defined contribution retirement
plan of Fluor Daniel. Contributions to this plan were based on a percentage of
the participants' gross salaries. In addition, eligible employees were allowed
to contribute up to 10 percent of their salaries to a savings investment plan
with Fluor Daniel providing a matching contribution up to 4 percent of their
salaries. The cost of these plans was included in the payroll burden rate
charged to FDESI by Fluor Daniel.
