15%, respectively, of our engineering fees for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. We utilize our expertise in engineering, planning, management, environmental, architectural, and surveying disciplines to address complex problems in each
of these basic service areas. We provide these services through our staff of approximately 4,000 professional, technical and support personnel. We believe our multi-disciplinary approach to problems facilitates our ability to effectively meet the
needs of our clients.

Since our founding in 1960, we have grown from a small civil engineering practice with operations only in South
Florida to a national design firm offering a full range of engineering, construction management, architectural, and planning services throughout the United States. In 2007, Engineering News-Record ranked Post, Buckley, Schuh &
Jernigan, Inc., our subsidiary, twenty fifth on its list of the top 500 pure design firms (traditional design firms with no construction capability) in the United States, based on design revenue. During fiscal year 2007, we provided services to
approximately 3000 clients in the public and private sectors. In fiscal year 2007, approximately 75% of our engineering fees were derived from the public sector and about 25% from the private sector.

We have built an organization composed of highly skilled professionals and top-level technical and administrative personnel with a wide variety of
scientific, engineering, architectural and management resources. These resources enable us to develop and implement innovative long-term solutions to the complex problems of our clients, many of which are the subject of public concern and extensive
governmental regulation. We assist our clients in responding to these concerns, in obtaining governmental permits and approvals and in complying with applicable laws and regulations.

We began operations on February 29, 1960. Our holding company, The PBSJ Corporation, was incorporated in 1973. We engage in business primarily
through two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc., a Florida corporation (through which we provide the majority of our engineering, architectural and planning services) and PBS&J Construction Services, Inc., a
Florida corporation (through which we have certain large contracts for our construction management services). In addition, we have four other active subsidiaries: Seminole Development Corporation and Seminole Development II, Inc. (through which we
hold title to certain of our real property); PBS&J Caribe Engineering, C.S.P. (through which we perform certain work in Puerto Rico) and PBS&J Constructors, Inc. (through which we perform design-build projects). In this Form 10-K, all
references to PBSJ, the Company, us, we or our operations refer to The PBSJ Corporation and its subsidiaries and the activities of these entities on a consolidated basis. Our executive
offices are located at 5300 West Cypress Street, Suite 200, Tampa, Florida.

Misappropriation Loss

In March 2005, subsequent to the issuance of our 2004 financial statements, we discovered misappropriations of Company funds by our former Chief Financial
Officer and two former employees who worked in our information systems and treasury departments, collectively, (the participants). The participants colluded and circumvented controls to misappropriate funds and conceal the
misappropriations possibly beginning as early as 1993 until the misappropriations were discovered in March 2005.

Shortly after this
discovery, an investigation sub-committee was formed comprised of the three outside members of our Corporate Audit Committee. These three outside members were subsequently appointed to the

Board of Directors and became the three members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee retained independent counsel to conduct
an investigation and advise the Audit Committee in connection with the investigation. The independent counsel retained forensic accountants, including accountants experienced in conducting forensic audits for companies that perform contracts for
federal, state, and local governments to assist with the investigation.

The investigation team discovered that at least $36.6 million was
misappropriated between January 1, 1998 and the discovery of the misappropriations in March 2005. We have not discovered and do not expect to discover any additional misappropriations, and therefore, we have not recorded any misappropriation
losses for fiscal years 2007 and 2006. The amount misappropriated prior to January 1, 1998 could not be determined because certain data for the period prior to January 1, 1998 was unavailable.

We determined that the misappropriation scheme led to the overstatement of overhead rates that we used to determine billings in connection with certain
of our government contracts. As a result, some of our government clients were overcharged for our services. During the review of the overhead rate calculations, we identified certain instances of costs erroneously included in our overhead cost pool
which were unallowable under applicable regulations and an error in our calculation of our overhead rate, which related to certain general and administrative costs. We determined that the unallowable costs and general and administrative errors also
led to the overstatement of overhead rates which we used in connection with certain government contracts.

The Audit Committee, at the
direction of the Corporate Board, disclosed the overstatement of our overhead rate to our clients and other appropriate government agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ). We have entered into settlement agreements with most
of our clients and government agencies. We are in discussions with our remaining government clients to enter into settlement agreements in order to satisfy any refund obligations, which are in various stages of settlement.

In July 2006, we entered into a settlement agreement with the State of Texas Department of Transportation which resolves all claims that the State of
Texas may have had against us for overpayments related to the restatement of overhead rates on billings on or before April 30, 2006 under contracts with that agency based on our payment of $5.4 million and provides for the determination of the
appropriate overhead rate for billings after April 30, 2006. In November 2006, we entered into a settlement agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation which resolves all claims that agency may have had against us for the
overstatement of rates on billings through September 30, 2005 (and with respect to cost contracts through September 30, 2006) under our contracts with them based on our payment of $12.5 million. This settlement agreement also provided for
the determination of the appropriate overhead rate refund for fiscal year 2006 billings under fixed price contracts. The refund amount was finalized in March 2007 and totaled approximately $425,000.

In January 2007, we reached a settlement agreement with the Department of Justice, Civil Division on behalf of it and all other federal agencies with
which we have contracts to resolve all federal claims including claims under the Federal Civil False Claims Act, related to the overstatements of overhead rates on our contracts with federal agencies. The agreement requires $6.5 million of
reimbursement payments for all contract amounts through September 30, 2005.

The settlements described above, net of settlements paid
in fiscal year 2007 and 2006, are included in the accrued reimbursement liability in the Companys consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2007. We are in discussions with our remaining government clients to enter into
settlement agreements in order to satisfy any refund obligations, which are in various stages of settlement.

By letter dated October 5,
2007, the Federal Election Commission advised us that it was commencing an investigation into alleged violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended. We are cooperating with this investigation. At the present time, we are unable
to predict the likely outcome of this investigation.

The United States Securities & Exchange Commission is also conducting an
investigation of the accounting irregularities and misappropriations of funds. We are fully cooperating with the investigation and have produced documents and other information to the commission. At the present time, we are unable to predict the
likely outcome of this investigation.

Business Segments

In fiscal year 2007, we
restructured our internal organization to better leverage our technical capabilities in servicing the needs of our clients which resulted in a change in the composition of our reportable segments. Under the new structure, we will continue to provide
segment information on four reportable segments: Transportation Services, Construction Management, Civil Engineering, and Environmental Services; however, two types of services, Information Solutions (previously reported in the Environmental
Services segment) and Evacuation Planning (previously reported in the Transportation Services segment) were moved to the Civil Engineering segment. Accordingly, we have reclassified segment information for prior periods presented, as applicable, to
conform to the current reportable segment structure.

Transportation Services

Industry Overview

During fiscal year 2007, the transportation industry rebounded slightly from some of the sluggishness it
experienced in fiscal year 2006. Many state departments of transportation continued to experience funding shortfalls in conjunction with escalating prices in the construction arena. The industry experienced a slight upturn in aviation and transit
funding while user-fee (toll road) projects continued strong growth nationally. Privatization continued to gain national focus with the news of several highly visible deals in Chicago and Texas.

Our Services

Our consulting services in
transportation include planning, traffic engineering, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), corridor planning, highway design, structural design, alternate project delivery, program management, toll facility design, aviation
services, multi-modal/transit systems and right-of-way.

We currently serve transportation departments in 18 states (Alabama, Arizona,
Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington). In addition, we currently perform toll services in 9 states (Washington,
California, Colorado, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, and Pennsylvania) for both public and private toll clients.

During fiscal year 2007, projects in Transportation included:



| |  |  | A planning services contract for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), primarily to determine toll feasibility for potential roadway
improvements throughout the State. All disciplines (highway design, drainage, construction, environmental services, ITS, traffic engineering, and structure design) were necessary to perform the work.

Environmental Services

Industry Overview

Over the past thirty years,
significant environmental laws at the federal, state, and local levels have been enacted in response to public concern over the health of the nations air, water, and natural resources. Those laws and their implementation through regulation
affect numerous industrial and governmental actions and form a key market driver for the services of our Environmental Science business segment.

Two significant federal environmental laws, The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 and the Clean Water Act of 1972, continue to drive this segment of our business. Pursuant to these laws, Congress has allocated funds to assist state and local
governments. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, as much as $23 billion a year will be needed for construction and upgrade of water and wastewater treatment facilities over the next 20 years.

Our Services

Our Environmental Science business
segment focuses on the delivery of planning, permitting, and compliance services for private and public sector clients related to:

Air

Civil Engineering

Industry Overview

During fiscal 2007 the decline in the residential housing market continued the decline that stared in 2006. This decline intensified over 2006 levels and is expected to continue into 2008. The commercial development
market remained reasonably stable. Federal spending remained strong, especially in the area of National defense, which increased opportunity and fortified our strategy for greater balance between the public and private sectors. Military planning
increased substantially due to requirements in implementation of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) and U.S. Army Modularity objectives. Especially strong was activity in the military housing sector. Also, new opportunities began to
emerge in Design/Build alternative project delivery contracting at Department of Defense facilities and other public institutions. State and local government markets remained stable.

Near term expectations are for the Federal Department of Defense and Homeland Security sectors to remain strong. State and local government markets will
remain weak but will improve as increased tax revenue from private sector recovery trickles into the government sector. In 2007, the economy was in a period of slow recovery with improving private sector corporate profitability, while investment in
residential housing development is decreasing. As the economy expands its recovery, we expect the private sector to strengthen, which increases opportunity and fortifies our strategy for greater balance between the public and private sectors.

Our Services

Our civil engineering
business provides architectural engineering and general civil engineering as well as specialized services to public and private clients. Included in these services are: site engineering and surveys, infrastructure engineering, master planning,
disaster mitigation planning and response, infrastructure protection, asset management, information solutions, emergency management, evacuation planning and architectural and landscape architecture design.

Our civil engineering business will continue to focus its portfolio strategy to balance the public and private sectors with emphasis on specialized

Construction Management

Industry Overview

The demand for our construction management services has also been fueled by the legislation and industry
trends that are driving the growth in our Transportation and Environmental business segments. These trends have created a large number of infrastructure projects throughout the United States, which are subject to increasingly complex governmental
regulations. The market should continue to grow as a result of the new Federal Transportation Act (TEA-Lu) that was passed in 2005. Domestic military spending should also see a significant increase through 2008. This is a result of BRAC activity.

The role of the construction manager has become increasingly important to the success of these projects, requiring a new level of
versatility and a wide range of skills. Both public and private sector entities are under

pressure to complete these projects at accelerated schedules, resulting in a myriad of project delivery systems. With limited in-house staff, these entities
must rely on experienced construction managers to complete projects on time and within budget.

Our Services

In the area of construction management, we provide a wide range of services as an agent for our clients, including contract administration, inspection,
field-testing, scheduling/estimating, instituting project controls and quality assessment. Although we do not self perform construction or build any projects, we may act as the program director of a project whereby on behalf of the owner of the
project, we provide scheduling, cost estimating and construction observation services for the project, or our services may be limited to providing construction consulting.

During fiscal year 2007, projects in our Construction Management Division included:

In fiscal year 2007, we derived approximately 21% of our engineering fees from various districts
and departments of the FDOT (approximately 16% of total engineering fees) and the TxDOT (approximately 5% of total engineering fees) under numerous contracts. While we believe the loss of any individual contract would not have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations and would not adversely impact our ability to continue work under our other contracts with these clients, the loss of all the FDOT or the TxDOT contracts would have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations by causing a material decrease in our revenues and profits. We do not believe that the impact of the misappropriations and the related accrued reimbursement liability will have a material adverse effect on our existing client
relationships.

Recognizing that meeting client needs is essential to future success, PBS&J, the companys primary subsidiary,
surveyed more than 50 clients in fiscal year 2007 to evaluate their coming needs from consultants. This information was combined with input from a broad cross-section of the companys employees and outside perspectives of global and industry
trends to develop a new strategic plan through 2012. We laid the foundation for future organizational changes that will better align our business to address its clients needs beginning in fiscal year 2008.

Marketing

Marketing activities are conducted by key
operating and executive personnel, including specifically assigned business development personnel, as well as through professional personnel who develop and maintain new and existing client relationships. Our continued ability to compete
successfully in the areas in which we do business is largely dependent upon aggressive marketing, the development of information regarding client requirements, the submission of responsive cost-effective proposals and the successful completion of
contracts. Information concerning private and governmental requirements is obtained, during the course of contract performance, from formal and informal briefings, from participation in activities of professional organizations, and from literature
published by the government and other organizations.

Contract Pricing and Terms of Engagement

We earn our revenues for the various types of services we provide through cost-plus, time-and-materials, fixed price contracts, and contracts which
combine any of these methods.

Cost-Plus Contracts. Under our cost-plus contracts, we charge clients negotiated indirect rates based on
direct and indirect costs in addition to a profit component. We recognize engineering fees at the time services are performed. The amount of revenue is based on our actual labor costs incurred plus a recovery of indirect costs and a profit
component. In negotiating cost-plus contracts, we estimate direct labor costs and indirect costs and then add a profit component, which is a percentage of total recoverable costs, to arrive at a total dollar value for the contract. Indirect expenses
are recorded as incurred and are allocated to contracts. If the actual labor costs incurred are less than estimated, the revenues from a project will be less than estimated. If the actual labor costs incurred plus a recovery of indirect costs and
profit exceed the initial negotiated total contract amount, we must



13



---

##### Table of Contents

obtain a contract modification to receive payment for such overage. If a contract modification or change order is not approved by our client, we may be able
to pursue a claim to receive payment. Engineering fees from claims are recognized when collected. For each of fiscal year 2007 and 2006, approximately 23% of our contracts were cost-plus contracts, primarily with state and local government agencies.

Our contracts with governmental entities, once executed, are not subject to renegotiation of profits at the election of the government;
however, the governmental entity may elect to discontinue funding. If a governmental client elects to discontinue funding a project, our fees for work completed are generally protected because our contracts often provide that we receive periodic
payments throughout the course of the project.

Time-and-Materials Contracts. Under our time-and-materials contracts, we negotiate hourly
billing rates and charge our clients based on actual time expended. In addition, clients reimburse us for our actual out-of-pocket costs of materials and other direct incidental expenditures incurred in connection with performing the contract. Our
profit margins on time-and-materials contracts fluctuate based on actual labor and overhead costs directly charged or allocated to contracts compared with negotiated billing rates. During each of fiscal year 2007 and 2006, approximately 47% of our
contracts were time-and-materials contracts, primarily with federal, state and local agencies, as well as some private sector clients.

Fixed-Price Contracts. Under our fixed-price contracts, clients pay us an agreed sum negotiated in advance for the specified scope of work. Under fixed-price contracts, there are no payment adjustments if we over-estimate or under-estimate
the number of labor hours required to complete the project, unless there is a change of scope in the work to be performed. Accordingly, our profit margin will increase to the extent the labor hours and other costs are below the contracted amounts.
The profit margin will decrease and we may realize a loss on a project if the number of labor hours required or other costs exceed the estimate. During fiscal years 2007 and 2006, approximately 30% of our contracts were fixed-price contracts,
primarily with private sector clients.

Competition

We face active competition in all areas of our business. As we provide a wide array of engineering, architectural, planning and construction management services to companies in various industries throughout the United
States, we encounter a different group of competitors in each of our markets. Our competitors include (1) national and regional design firms like us that provide a wide range of design services to clients in all industries, including CH2M Hill
and Parsons Brickerhoff (2) industry specific firms that provide design as well as other services to customers in a specific industry or disciplines, including Montgomery Watson, Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc., and (3) local firms that
provide some or all of our services in one of our markets. Some of our competitors are larger, more diversified firms having substantially greater financial resources and larger professional and technical staffs than ours. Competition for major
contracts is frequently intense and may entail public submittals and multiple presentations by numerous firms seeking to be awarded the contract. The extent of competition we will encounter in the future will vary depending on changing customer
requirements in terms of types of projects and technological developments. It has been our experience that the principal competitive factors for the type of service business in which we engage are a firms demonstrated ability to perform
certain types of projects, the clients own previous experience with competing firms, the firms size and financial condition and the cost of the particular proposal.

No firm dominates a significant portion of the sectors in which we compete. Given the expanding demand for some of the services we provide, it is likely
that additional competitors will emerge. At the same time, consolidation continues to occur in certain of the sub-segments of the industry in the United States, including the environmental-focused firms.

We believe that we will retain the ability to compete effectively with other firms that provide similar services by continuing to offer a broad range of
high-quality environmental, transportation, engineering and construction management services through our network of offices. Among other things, the wide range of



14

##### Table of Contents

expertise, which we possess, permits us to remain competitive in obtaining government contracts despite shifts in governmental spending emphasis. Our
multi-disciplinary capabilities enable us to compete more effectively for clients whose projects require that the expertise of professionals in a number of different disciplines be utilized in the problem solving effort. We believe that our ability
to offer our services over a large part of the United States is a positive factor in enabling us to attract and retain clients who have a need for our services in different parts of the country. In addition, we believe that the groundwork laid in
fiscal year 2007 through the development of a new five-year strategic plan for PBS&J will facilitate more effective delivery of services to clients and foster growth.

Backlog

Our backlog for services was estimated to be $557.5 million and $487.0 million as of
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We define backlog as contracted task orders less previously recognized revenue on such task orders. U.S. government agencies, and many state and local governmental agencies, operate under annual fiscal
appropriations and fund various contracts only on an incremental basis. Our ability to realize revenues from our backlog depends on the availability of funding for various federal, state and local government agencies.

A majority of our customer orders or contract awards and additions to contracts previously awarded are received or occur at random during the year and
may have varying periods of performance. The comparison of backlog amounts on the same date in successive years is not necessarily indicative of trends in our business or future revenues.

The major components of our operating costs are payroll and payroll-related costs. Because our business is dependent upon the reputation and experience
of our personnel and adequate staffing, a reasonable backlog is important for the scheduling of operations and for the maintenance of a fully-staffed level of operations.

The following table presents the total backlog for services by reporting segment:



|                        |  |               |         |      |   |

Regulation

Compliance with federal, state and local regulations, which have been enacted or adopted, including those relating to the protection of the environment, is not expected to have any material effect upon our capital
expenditures, earnings and competitive position.

Personnel

We employed approximately 4,000 employees as of September 30, 2007. Most of our employees are professional or technical personnel having specialized training and skills, including engineers, architects, analysts,
scientists, management specialists, technical writers and skilled technicians. Although many of our personnel are highly specialized in certain areas and while there is a nationwide shortage of certain qualified technical personnel, we are not
currently experiencing any significant difficulty in obtaining the personnel we require to perform under our contracts. We believe that our future growth and success will depend, in large part, upon our continued ability to attract and retain highly
qualified personnel.

Liabilities and Insurance

When we perform services for our clients, we can become liable for failure to meet the applicable standard of care in providing professional services, breach of contract, personal injury, and property damage. Such
claims could include improper or negligent performance or design and failure to meet specifications. Our clients often require us to contractually indemnify for damage or personal injury to the client, third parties and their property and for fines
and penalties caused by our negligence. Because our projects are typically large enough to affect the lives of many people, the potential damages to a client or third parties are potentially large and could include punitive and consequential
damages. For example, our transportation projects involve services that affect not only our client, but also many end users of those services.

To protect the Company from potential liability we maintain a full range of insurance coverage, including workers compensation, commercial general liability (which includes property coverage), commercial automobile and professional
liability (including pollution liability). Our professional liability coverage is on a claims made basis (which means that the policy provides liability coverage for all claims made during the policy period, regardless of when the action occurred),
while the rest of our insurance coverage is on an occurrence basis (which means that the policy provides liability coverage only for injury or damage arising from an action that occurs during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is
actually made). Our professional liability insurance provides for annual coverage of up to $45.0 million with a per claim deductible of $125,000 and an additional annual aggregate deductible of $3.0 million. Based upon our previous experience with
such claims and lawsuits, we believe our insurance coverage is adequate for all of our present operational activities, although such coverage may not prove to be adequate in all cases. A successful claim or several large claims in amounts in excess
of our insurance coverage in any policy year could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

|ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

In addition to
the factors discussed elsewhere in Item 1, Item 7 and Item 7A, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the following risks and uncertainties could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and
results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deemed immaterial also may impair our business operations and financial condition.

Certain Risks Related to Our Marketplace and Our Operations

We
are involved in litigation, legal proceedings and governmental investigations, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and financial position.

We are involved in litigation, legal proceedings and governmental investigations that are significant and described in more detail in Item 3
Legal Proceedings. Such litigation, proceedings and investigations could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and financial position if decided adversely.

Unpredictable downturns in the financial markets, and reduced federal, state and local government budget spending could cause our revenues to fluctuate and adversely affect our revenue and operating results.

Downturns in the financial markets can impact the capital expenditures of our clients. In particular, our private sector clients,
and the markets in which we provide services, may from time to time experience periods of



16



---

##### Table of Contents

economic decline. Any prolonged downturn in the financial markets could negatively impact our ability to determine demand for our services. We cannot be
certain that economic or political conditions will be generally favorable or that significant fluctuations will not adversely affect our industry as a whole or key markets we target.

The demand for our government related services is contingent upon the level of government funding for new and existing infrastructure projects. As such,
government funding is dependent upon policy objectives being in line with infrastructure needs. Any shift in policy away from these initiatives can impact our ability to secure current funding for projects and obtain new projects.

We operate in a highly competitive market. If we are unable to offer competitive services, our business may be adversely affected.

We have numerous competitors in the various marketplaces in which we operate. Our competitors range from large diversified firms having substantially
greater financial resources and a larger technical staff than us, to smaller more specialized, low cost structure niche firms. It is not possible to estimate the extent of competition which our present or future activities will encounter because of
changing competitive conditions, customer requirements, technological developments, political environments and other factors.

We continue
to see significant price competition and customer demand for higher service completion levels. There is also significant price competition in the marketplace for federal, state, and local government contracts as a result of budget issues, political
pressure and other factors beyond our control. Our operating results could be negatively impacted should we be unable to achieve the necessary revenue growth to sustain profitable operating margins within our service lines.

Pending or future governmental audits could result in findings which require downward adjustments of our revenue; and, under certain circumstances, could cause us
to incur significant liabilities or restrict our business activities.

We are party to numerous contracts with federal, state and
other government agencies, which require strict compliance with applicable laws, regulations, standards and contractual requirements. Federal and many state agencies routinely conduct various types of audits of their contracts. In some cases, the
agencies conducting these audits review and report instances of fraud, internal control deficiencies, and violations of regulations or provisions of the contract.

If these audits identify costs which have been incorrectly charged or billed, either directly or indirectly, to government contracts, the government agencies may not reimburse us for these costs, or if we have already
been reimbursed, we may be required to refund these reimbursements.

Our internal controls may not prevent or detect specific isolated or
deceitful violations of applicable laws, regulations, standards or contractual requirements. If these agencies determine that we or one of our subcontractors has engaged in illegal conduct, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties, and this
may impair our ability to obtain new work.

We derive a significant portion of our engineering fees from a few clients, and the loss of these clients
could have a material adverse impact on our financial performance.

In fiscal year 2007, we derived approximately 21% of our
engineering fees from various districts and departments of the FDOT and the TxDOT under numerous contracts. While we believe the loss of any individual contract would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and would not
adversely impact our ability to continue work under our other contracts with these clients, the loss of all the FDOT or the TxDOT contracts would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations by causing a material decrease in our
engineering fees and profits.

##### Table of Contents

Our backlog is subject to cancellation and unexpected adjustments, which could have a negative impact on future
earnings.

Backlog represents the revenues associated with contracted task orders which are scheduled to commence in future periods,
less previously recognized revenue on such task orders. Projects may remain in our backlog for prolonged periods of time prior to commencement, and our ability to realize revenues from our backlog is contingent on the availability of funding from
federal, state and local government agencies. Most government agency contracts contain cancellation clauses, which if exercised, would cause a reduction in our backlog, and adversely affect future revenues. Future project cancellations and scope
adjustments could further reduce the dollar amount of our backlog and the revenues and profits that we actually earn.

If we are unable to accurately
estimate the revenues, costs, time and resources on our contractual commitments, we may incur a lower profit or loss on the contract.

We generally earn revenue for the services we provide through three principal types of contracts: cost-plus, time-and-materials, and fixed price contracts. Cost-plus contracts are usually subject to negotiated ceiling amounts, and limit the
recovery of certain specified indirect costs. If we underestimate our costs, and our costs exceed the contract ceiling amount, we may not be reimbursed for such costs. Under time-and-materials contracts, we negotiate hourly billing rates and charge
our clients based on actual time expended. If we underestimate our total contract costs, we may not recover these costs from our client, and the project may not be profitable for us. Under fixed price contracts, we receive a fixed sum negotiated in
advance, regardless of actual costs incurred. If we set up the price based on underestimated costs for the specified scope of work, we may experience significant over-runs and negatively impact profit margin or realize a loss on the contract. Under
these types of contracts, we bear the inherent risk that actual performance cost may exceed the contract price.

If we are unable to retain and
recruit highly qualified personnel to fulfill our contractual obligations, our business may be adversely affected.

Our employees
are our most valuable resource. Many of our technical personnel are highly specialized in their respective disciplines. Since we derive substantially all of our engineering fees from services performed by our professional staff, our failure to
retain and attract professional staff could negatively impact our ability to complete our projects and secure new contracts.

Failure to meet the
covenants of our existing revolving credit facility could result in the loss of use of our available line of credit.

Failure to
meet any of the covenant terms of our existing revolving credit facility could result in an event of default. If an event of default occurs, and we are unable to receive a waiver of default, our lender may increase our borrowing costs, restrict our
ability to obtain additional borrowings, accelerate all amounts outstanding or enforce their interest against all collateral pledged. In the past, we have obtained written waivers of default from our lender, but we may not be able to obtain any
necessary waivers in the future. In addition, we can not declare dividends or incur additional debt without written approval from our lender, which could significantly restrict our ability to raise additional capital. Our inability to raise
additional capital could lead to a working capital deficit that could have a materially adverse effect on our operations in future periods.

Certain
Risks Related to Owning Our Stock

Because no public market exists for our stock, the ability of our shareholders to sell their common stock is
limited.

There is no public market for our common stock. In order to provide some liquidity to our shareholders, we have
historically maintained a limited annual stock offering period, which we call the stock window. The stock window has permitted existing shareholders to offer their shares for sale back to us during a predetermined



18



---

##### Table of Contents

period at a price determined by an appraisal. Although the stock window is intended to provide some liquidity to shareholders, the aggregate number of shares
offered for sale during the stock window may be greater than the aggregate number of shares sought to be purchased by authorized buyers. As a result, sell orders may be prorated, and shareholders may not be able to sell all of the shares they desire
to sell during the stock window.

We expect to open our fiscal year 2008 window in February 2008.

The ability of shareholders to sell or transfer their common stock is restricted.

Only our employees, directors, and The PBSJ Employee Profit Sharing and Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (ESOP) may own our common stock. We
have incorporated significant restrictions on the transfer of our common stock which limit our shareholders ability to sell their stock. All shares must be initially offered for sale back to us at the price determined by an appraisal. If we
decline to purchase the shares, the ESOP Plan may purchase such shares. Should the ESOP Plan decline to purchase the shares, the shareholders may offer their shares for sale to other shareholders who are employees. The other shareholders have the
right to purchase such shares based on each shareholders proportionate ownership of all issued shares. Because our shares are subject to transfer restrictions, shareholders who desire to sell all their shares may not be able to do so.

Pursuant to our by-laws, we are permitted to repurchase stock by delivery of a promissory note to the employee. Because the principal
payable pursuant to any such promissory note may be paid at any time prior to the five year anniversary of the date of issuance, a shareholder may not receive a cash payment for his shares until such five year anniversary.

Because we do not intend to pay dividends, our shareholders will benefit from an investment in our common stock only if our stock price appreciates.

We have never declared or paid dividends to holders of our common stock. We expect to retain all future earnings for investment in
our business, and do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the near future. As a result, the positive return of an investment in our common stock is solely dependable on future appreciation in value of our common stock and future earnings. There
is no guarantee that our stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the original price at which it was purchased.

The value of our stock may be
negatively impacted by current and future governmental agency investigations.

An unfavorable resolution or outcome resulting from
working with various government agencies to resolve the amount of reimbursement obligations may result in a material adverse impact to our enterprise value, and may adversely impact the future value of our share price. In addition, we are currently
under investigation by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to accounting and disclosure issues and the Federal Election Commission for possible irregularities relating to past political contributions made by us and
certain of our employees. In the event that civil and/or criminal charges are filed against us, the future value of our share price may be impacted.

|ITEM 2. | Properties
|------- | ----------

We lease and
maintain our executive offices located at 5300 W. Cypress Street, Suite 200 Tampa, FL 33607. On August 31, 2007, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback agreement of its Doral office building located at 2001 N.W. 107th Avenue, Miami,
Florida 33172, which consists of approximately 100,000 square feet of office space (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussions). We own our Orlando office located at 482 South Keller Road, Orlando, Florida 32810,
which consists of approximately 90,000 square feet of office space. The Orlando office building is pledged as collateral under a mortgage note.

We lease 86 additional offices in 26 states in the United States and Puerto Rico, all of which are used for our four major business segments. Aggregate lease payments during fiscal year 2007 were $19.2 million.

We also have title to one remaining recovered property which is held for sale and included in other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet at September 30, 2007 (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion). The property is a 2,000 square foot condominium located in Hollywood, Florida,

We believe that substantially all of our property and equipment are, in general, well maintained and in good operating condition. They are considered
adequate for present needs, and as supplemented by planned construction, are expected to remain adequate for the near future.

We
believe that we have clear title to the properties owned and used in our business, subject to liens for current taxes and easements, restrictions and other liens, which do not materially detract from the value of the properties or our interest in
the properties or the use of those properties in our business.



|ITEM 3. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

We are
party to several pending legal proceedings arising from our operations. We believe that we have sufficient professional liability insurance such that the outcome of any of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a
material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, if our insurance company were to deny coverage for a significant judgment or if a judgment were entered against us in an amount greater than our coverage, it could
adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

We maintain a full range of insurance coverage, including workers
compensation, commercial general liability (which includes property coverage), commercial automobile, and professional liability (which includes pollution coverage). Our professional liability coverage is on a claims-made basis meaning
the coverage applies to claims made during a policy year regardless of when the causative action took place. All other coverages are occurrence-basis meaning that the policy in place when the injury or damage occurred is the policy that
responds regardless of when the claim is made. Our professional liability limits per policy year are $45 million with a per claim deductible of $125,000 plus an annual aggregate of $3 million. Based on our experience with claims and lawsuits we
believe that the current levels of coverage are adequate for all of our present operational activities although such coverage may not prove to be adequate in all cases. A successful catastrophic claim or aggregate of several large claims in amounts
in excess of our insurance coverages in any policy year could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operation.

In July 1998, we entered into an agreement with West Frisco Development Corporation (WFDC) to provide various services, among which was a flood plain study to be used by WFDC, the City of Frisco and FEMA.
In 2003, the City of Frisco retained the services of a third-party architecture and engineering firm in connection with the extension and widening of Teel Road which lies within the greater drainage basin included in the Companys original
flood plain study. This architecture and engineering firms assessment of the flood plain study determined that the Company used incorrect assumptions when calculating the size of the drainage culverts required for the increased development of
the areas transportation infrastructure. Based on this assessment, the Company has entered into negotiations with the City of Frisco to correct the drainage needs to support the Teel

Road expansion project. As a result, the Company had recorded an estimated liability of $3.1 million to cover the costs associated with correcting the
drainage needs of the Teel Road expansion project. Included in this estimate is the purchase of a parcel of land for $1.5 million, the remaining balance of $1.6 million is reflected in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets as of September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Misappropriation Loss

In March 2005, subsequent to the issuance of the Companys 2004 financial statements, we discovered misappropriations of Company funds by our former Chief Financial Officer and two former employees who worked in
our information systems and treasury departments. The participants colluded and circumvented controls to misappropriate funds and conceal the misappropriations possibly beginning as early as 1993 until the misappropriations were discovered in March
2005.

Shortly after this discovery, an investigation sub-committee was formed comprised of the three outside members of our Corporate
Audit Committee. These three outside members were subsequently appointed to the Board of Directors and became the three members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee retained independent counsel to conduct an
investigation and advise the Audit Committee in connection with the investigation. The independent counsel retained forensic accountants, including accountants experienced in conducting forensic audits for companies that perform contracts for
federal, state and local governments to assist with the investigation.

The investigation team discovered that at least $36.6 million was
misappropriated between January 1, 1998 and the discovery of the misappropriations in March 2005. The amount misappropriated prior to January 1, 1998 could not be determined because certain data for the period prior to January 1, 1998
was unavailable. The participants in the embezzlement scheme used several methods to misappropriate the funds while engaging in conduct to conceal the misappropriated amounts. This conduct included among other things, recording and changing normal
recurring journal entries and overstating accruals in prior periods to facilitate improper write-offs of misappropriated funds.

The
Company determined that the misappropriation scheme led to the overstatement of overhead rates that the Company used to determine billings in connection with certain of our government contracts. During the review of the overhead rate calculations,
the Company identified certain instances of costs erroneously included in our overhead cost pool which were unallowable under applicable regulations and an error in our calculation of our overhead rate, which related to certain general and
administrative costs. The Company determined that the unallowable costs and general and administrative errors also led to the overstatement of overhead rates which the Company used in connection with certain government contracts. As a result, some
of our government clients were overcharged for the Companys services.

The Audit Committee, at the direction of the Corporate Board,
disclosed the overstatement of our overhead rate to our clients and other appropriate government agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ). We have been cooperating with our clients and such agencies to determine the amount of
our reimbursement obligations and any other amounts we may be obligated to repay in order to resolve these issues. The DOJ and certain other governmental entities have investigated the misappropriations and the overstatement of overhead rates.

In July 2006, we entered into a settlement agreement with the State of Texas Department of Transportation which resolves all claims that
the State of Texas may have had against us for overpayments related to the restatement of overhead rates on billings on or before April 30, 2006 under contracts with that agency based on our payment of $5.4 million and provides for the
determination of the appropriate overhead rate for billings after April 30, 2006. In November 2006, we entered into a settlement agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation which resolves all claims that agency may have had against
us for the overstatement of rates on billings through September 30, 2005 (and with respect to cost contracts through September 30, 2006) under our

contracts with them based on our payment of $12.5 million . This settlement agreement also provided for the determination of the appropriate overhead rate
refund for fiscal year 2006 billings under fixed price contracts. The refund amount was finalized in March 2007 and totaled $425,000.

In
January 2007, we reached a settlement agreement with the Department of Justice, Civil Division on behalf of it and all other federal agencies with which we have contracts to resolve all federal claims including claims under the Federal Civil False
Claims Act, related to the overstatements of overhead rates on our contracts with federal agencies. The agreement requires $6.5 million of reimbursement payments for all contract amounts through September 30, 2005 which was paid in January
2007.

The settlements described above, net of settlements paid in fiscal year 2007 and 2006, are included in the accrued reimbursement
liability in the Companys consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2007. We are in discussions with our remaining government clients to enter into settlement agreements in order to satisfy any refund obligations, which are in
various stages of settlement.

Our Board of Directors, with the assistance of the Audit Committee, instituted immediate corrective actions
and began implementing long-term measures to implement new financial controls and establish procedures to safeguard assets and to establish more accurate accounting and financial reporting practices. These long-term measures are included within our
new Ethics and Compliance Program.

In an effort to recover assets that were misappropriated, we instituted lawsuits against certain
persons who received money from one or more of the participants in the embezzlement scheme. We continue to incur costs associated with such lawsuits, and we may not prevail in these lawsuits. In the event that the we do prevail, we may not actually
recover assets from the persons we sued.

In the course of our investigation of the accounting irregularities and misappropriations, it was
determined that there were possible violations relating to past political contributions by us and certain of our employees. The United States Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Florida (Miami) and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation have conducted an investigation relating to improper campaign contributions including improper use of political action committees. We produced documents and other information to the government and fully cooperated with the authorities.
Criminal charges have been filed against two of the Companys former chairmen. Authorities have verbally informed the Companys external legal counsel that unless adverse additional information is discovered they do not intend to charge
the Company. Therefore, we believe it unlikely that criminal charges will be filed against us in this matter, but the authorities are not precluded from bringing charges, and circumstances may change.

By letter dated October 5, 2007, the Federal Election Commission advised us that it was commencing an investigation into alleged violations of the
Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended. We are cooperating with this investigation. At the present time, we are unable to predict the likely outcome of this investigation.

The United States Securities & Exchange Commission is also conducting an investigation of the accounting irregularities and misappropriations of
funds. We are fully cooperating with the investigation and have produced documents and other information to the commission. At the present time, we are unable to predict the likely outcome of this investigation.

PART II



|ITEM 5. | Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
|------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no established public trading market for our common stock. As of September 30, 2007 there were no shares of common stock that were subject
to outstanding warrants or options to purchase, or securities convertible into, our common stock, and no shares of our common stock could be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

As of November 30, 2007 there were 6,544,358 shares of common stock outstanding and held of record by 2,422 shareholders.

Our by-laws require that common stock held by shareholders who terminate employment with us be offered for sale at fair market value to us pursuant to a
right of first refusal. Should we decline to purchase the shares, the shares must next be offered to our ESOP plan at fair market value, and then ultimately to our shareholders who are employees. Our by-laws provide that the fair market value be
determined by an appraisal. Other than agreements with certain retired Directors, as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, there was no outstanding common stock held by individuals no longer employed by us.

Dividends

Each share of our common stock is entitled
to share equally in any dividends declared by our Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms of our credit agreement, we cannot declare or pay dividends in excess of 50% of our net income. We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock in the
past and have no present intention of paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. All earnings are retained for investment in our business.

Misappropriation Loss

In March 2005,
subsequent to the issuance of the Companys 2004 financial statements, we discovered misappropriations of Company funds by our former Chief Financial Officer and two former employees who worked in our information systems and treasury
departments, collectively. The participants colluded and circumvented controls to misappropriate funds and conceal the misappropriations possibly beginning as early as 1993 until the misappropriations were discovered. The investigation discovered
that at least $36.6 million was misappropriated between January 1, 1998 and the discovery of the misappropriations in March 2005. We have not discovered and do not expect to discover any additional misappropriations, and therefore, we have not
recorded any misappropriation losses for fiscal years 2007 and 2006. The amount misappropriated prior to January 1, 1998 could not be determined because certain data for the period prior to January 1, 1998 was unavailable.

We determined that the misappropriation scheme led to the overstatement of overhead rates that we used to determine billings in connection with certain
of our government contracts. As a result, some of our government clients were overcharged for our services. During the review of the overhead rate calculations, we identified certain instances of costs erroneously included in our overhead cost pool
which were unallowable under applicable regulations and an error in our calculation of our overhead rate, which related to certain general and administrative costs. We determined that the unallowable costs and general and administrative errors also
led to the overstatement of overhead rates which we used in connection with certain government contracts.

Overview

Business Overview

We provide services to both private
and public sector clients, with the public sector comprising approximately 75% of our revenues. During fiscal year 2007, all segments, except for the Construction Management segment, experienced growth in engineering fees. Our Environmental Services
segment experienced an increase in engineering fees principally as a result of the EIP acquisition. The Civil Engineering segment benefited from the addition of several large fixed price contracts with the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and additional assignments with the Department of Defense, partly offset by a slow down in business activity in the private sector residential market, especially in
California and Southwest markets and the winding down of the work related to the hurricanes that hit Florida in 2004 and 2005. The increase in engineering fees for the Transportation Services segment was due to new projects and additional
assignments with the Air National Guard Bureau (ANGB) and the Western Region structures group. This increase was partly offset by the temporary work stoppage on bidding for new jobs with the Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT). The Construction management segment experienced a decrease in engineering fees from the winding down of jobs and delays in starting jobs with various DOTs and by the winter weather shut down, which occurred sooner and
lasted longer than last season. The decrease was partly offset by additional work with the Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans and other several projects in the Southeast. All segments experienced increased volumes in backlog at
September 30, 2007, when compared to September 30, 2006.

We earn revenue for time spent on projects, in addition to certain
direct reimbursable expenses of our projects, such as subcontractors expenses, blueprints and travel and lodging. The fluctuation in direct reimbursable expenses, specifically subcontractors costs, including travel and lodging, will influence the
fluctuation of our net earned revenue (NER). For instance, our Civil Engineering segment experienced a significant increase in direct reimbursable expenses during the year ended September 30, 2007, as compared to 2006, resulting
from a high usage of subcontractors costs, including travel and lodging, related to several projects with FEMA and MEMA. As a result, our Civil Engineering segments NER grew at a lower rate than its engineering fees, because more work
was being performed by subcontractors. During the year ended

September 30, 2007, we experienced an increase in indirect salaries reflecting a decrease in chargeability. As chargeability of our technical
professionals time decreases, direct salary costs decrease proportionately along with it, while indirect salary costs increase, as less of the technical staffs time worked is being charged back to our clients.

Our NER is also impacted by our ability to capture our technical professional staffs time and charge it to projects. As chargeability of our
technical professionals time increases, engineering fees and direct salaries increase along with it, while indirect salaries decrease, as more of the technical staffs time worked is being charged back to our clients. When chargeability
decreases, there is an increase in indirect salaries and a corresponding reduction in direct salaries and engineering fees. All segments experienced increases in indirect salaries during the year ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the
same period in 2006. These increases were primarily due to the retention of our professional staff, during the temporary stoppage on bidding for new jobs with TxDOT, in anticipation of executing future contracts and investing in market development
activities. For instance, the Civil Engineering segment retained its professional staff in order to maintain our readiness capabilities to respond to future disaster projects.

Business Environment

The need to modernize and upgrade the transportation infrastructure in the
United States has been a source of continued business for us through the last ten years. Fueling the initial growth in this market was the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) and subsequent legislation, the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). The public is beginning to recognize the potential disasters that await
should our nations acknowledged aging infrastructure not be addressed. Increasingly complex governmental regulations faced by our clients mean additional opportunities for consultants with specialized knowledge. Despite the need for
improvements, federal funds have been stretched, which when combined with the rising costs of construction materials have created some sluggishness in our industry. Some rebounding took place in fiscal year 2007 as the industry experienced a slight
upturn in aviation and transit funding and as user-fee (toll road) projects continued to grow strong nationally.

The decline in the
residential housing market intensified during 2007 as the sub-prime mortgage meltdown resulted in tighter credit and lower prices, causing buildings and developers to curtail their operations substantially. The commercial development market, however
remained reasonably stable, but may be affected in 2008. This was offset by the increase in federal spending associated with Base Realignment and Closure and U.S. Army Transformation activity, which our civil engineering services strongly support.

The state and local government markets remained weak, but the market for our specialized services in the area of risk and emergency
management strengthened due in part to hurricanes and wild fires. Near-term expectations are for the Federal Department of Defense and Homeland Security sectors to remain strong. As the economy expands its recovery, we expect the private sector to
strengthen. We expect that state and local government markets will remain weak but will improve as increased tax revenue from private sector recovery trickles into the government sector.

In recent years, significant environmental laws at the federal, state and local levels have been enacted in response to public concern over the health of
the nations air, water, and natural resources. Those laws and their implementation through regulation affect numerous industrial and governmental actions and form a key market driver for the services of our Environmental Services segment. Two
federal environmental laws, The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 and the Clean Water Act of 1972, continue to drive this segment of our business. Pursuant to these laws, Congress has authorized significant monies to assist state and local
governments. According to the EPA, as much as $23 billion a year will be needed for construction and upgrade of water and wastewater treatment facilities over the next 20 years.

Segment Results of Operations

In fiscal year 2007, we restructured our internal organization to better leverage our technical capabilities in servicing the needs of our clients which resulted in a change in the composition of our reportable
segments. Under the new structure, we will continue to provide segment information on four reportable segments: Transportation Services, Construction Management, Civil Engineering, and Environmental Services; however, two types of services,
Information Solutions (previously reported in the Environmental Services segment) and Evacuation Planning (previously reported in the Transportation Services segment) were moved to the Civil Engineering segment. Accordingly, we have reclassified
segment information for prior periods presented, as applicable, to conform to the current reportable segment structure.

Activities in the
Transportation business segment involve planning, design, right of way acquisition, intelligent transportation services (ITS) and program construction management services. Multiple transportation modes are supported , including
interstate and primary highways, toll roads, arterials, bridges, transit systems, airports and port facilities. We currently serve transportation departments in 18 states and perform toll services in 9 states for both public and private toll
clients. The Program Management group of our Transportation segment provides many of its governmental clients the necessary resources to manage large infrastructure programs from concept through construction. Program management services include
planning, programming and contract support.

The Construction Management segment provides a wide range of services as an agent for our
clients, including contract administration, inspection, field testing, scheduling/estimating, instituting project controls and quality assessment. We also may act as the program director of a project whereby on behalf of the owner of the project, we
provide scheduling, cost estimating and construction observation services for the project, and / or construction consulting.

The Civil
Engineering segment provides MEP, general civil engineering, architectural design, landscape architecture, and planning services as well as specialized services to public and private clients.

The Environmental Services business segment focuses on the delivery of planning, scientific, design, and construction management services for private and
public sector clients related to air quality management, aquatic treatment, biosolids management, community and regional planning, cultural assessments, ecological studies, ecosystem restoration, energy planning, environmental toxicology analysis,
flood insurance studies, hazardous and solid waste management, information solutions, National Environmental Policy Act documentation, wastewater collection and treatment, water resources management, water supply, and water treatment and
distribution.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the notes to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. We evaluate performance based on operating income (loss) of the respective segments. The discussion that follows is a summary analysis of the primary changes in operating results by segment for fiscal year 2007 as compared to
fiscal year 2006 and fiscal year 2006 as compared to fiscal year 2005.

NER represents the net effect of gross revenues less direct
reimbursable expenses. Direct reimbursable expenses is primarily comprised of subcontractor costs and other direct non-payroll reimbursable charges including travel and travel related costs, blueprints and equipment where we are responsible for
procurement and management of such cost components on behalf of our clients. These direct reimbursable expenses are principally passed through to our clients with minimal or no mark-up. Indirect salaries represent wages earned by technical personnel
not assigned to client billable projects and salary from administrative and support personnel as well.

$537.2 million in 2006, representing an 8.2% increase. A portion of the increase in engineering fees resulted from adjustments to the accrued reimbursement liability during fiscal year 2007. Based on settlements to date and new information, the
Company has changed its estimate of the accrued reimbursement liability and has recorded a reduction in the liability with a corresponding increase in engineering fees in the amount of $4.5 million during fiscal year 2007. All segments, except for
the Construction Management segment contributed to the increase in engineering fees in fiscal year 2007 when compared to fiscal year 2006. The backlog volumes increased by 14.5% in the year ended September 30, 2007 from $487.0 million at
September 30, 2006 to $557.5 million at September 30, 2007. All segments experienced increases in backlog volumes at September 30, 2007 when compared to the backlog volumes at September 30, 2006.

Engineering fees from the Transportation Services segment increased 6.4% to $219.2 million in fiscal year 2007 from $206.0 million in fiscal year 2006.
The increase in engineering fees was due primarily from an increase in workload in the National Services group due to additional projects with the ANGB and the Western Region structures group. The increase in engineering fees during the year ended
September 30, 2007 was partly offset by declining engineering fees in the Central Region resulting from the temporary work stoppage on bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT. The backlog volumes for the Transportation Services segment at
September 30, 2007 increased by 8.1% to $261.2 million from $241.7 million at September 30, 2006.

Our Construction Management
engineering fees decreased 1.9% to $87.5 million in fiscal year 2007 from $89.2 million in fiscal year 2006. The decrease in engineering fees was due primarily to delays in starting projects with various DOTs and the winding down of jobs in
Texas and Arkansas. Additionally, the winter weather shut down, which occurred sooner and lasted longer than last season also negatively impacted engineering fees for fiscal year 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease was
partly offset by increases in engineering fees from additional work approved with the Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans and the Construction Consulting practice in the Southeast Region. The backlog volumes for the Construction Management
segment at September 30, 2007 increased by 33.8% to $95.9 from $71.7 million at September 30, 2006.

In the Civil Engineering
segment, engineering fees increased 10.0% to $146.7 million in fiscal year 2007 from $133.3 million in fiscal year 2006. The increase in engineering fees was primarily attributable to additional work assignments on several large fixed price
contracts with FEMA in New Mexico, MEMA in Mississippi and additional assignments from contracts with the Department of Defense in the East, Southeast and Gulf Coast Regions. Also contributing to the increase in engineering fees was the expansion of
services in the Gulf Coast Region and additional projects in the resort and entertainment markets. The increase in engineering fees was partly offset by the slow down in business activity in the private sector residential market, especially in the
California and Southwest markets, which affected the engineering components of our private sector land development services. Also partly offsetting the increase in engineering fees for the year ended September 30, 2007 when compared to the same
period in 2006 was the completion, in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, of work related to the administration and management of debris removal from the large response projects resulting from

the calendar years 2004 and 2005 hurricanes that hit Florida. The backlog volumes for the Civil Engineering segment increased by 39.2% to $82.8 million at
September 30, 2007 when compared to $59.5 million at September 30, 2006.

Engineering fees in our Environmental Services segment
increased 17.8% to $128.1 million in fiscal year 2007 from $108.7 million in fiscal year 2006. The increase was principally due to the EIP acquisition, which was acquired on April 30, 2006. The year-over-year increase in engineering fees from
the EIP acquisition was $12.8 million. The backlog volumes for the Environmental Services segment at September 30, 2007 increased by 3.2% to $117.6 million from $114.0 million at September 30, 2006.

In addition, the change in our NER is affected by the fluctuation in our direct reimbursable
expenses. Direct reimbursable expenses is primarily comprised of subcontractor costs and other direct non-payroll reimbursable charges including travel and travel related costs, blueprints, reproductions, CADD/computer charges and equipment where we
are responsible for procurement and management of such cost components on behalf of our clients. These direct reimbursable expenses are principally passed through to our clients with minimal or no mark-up. As a percentage of NER, direct reimbursable
expenses increased by 2.5% to 27.0% in the year ended September 30, 2007 from 24.5% in the same period in 2006. The increase was principally driven by the Civil Engineering and Transportation Services segments, as explained below.

Direct reimbursable expenses in the Transportation Services segment experienced an increase of 16.6% in fiscal year 2007 when compared to fiscal year
2006. As a percentage of NER, direct reimbursable expenses increased by 3.9% to 34.3% in fiscal year 2007 from 30.4% in fiscal year 2006. The increase primarily resulted from the high usage of subconsultants in connection with the additional
workload experienced by the National Services group.

In our Construction Management segment, direct reimbursable expenses as a percentage
of NER decreased by 1.3% to 19.8% in fiscal year 2007 from 21.1% in fiscal year 2006. This decrease was primarily due to the

##### Table of Contents

decrease in engineering fees experienced in fiscal year 2007 when compared to fiscal year 2006 and a market shift from direct reimbursable projects to more
lump sum and all-inclusive billing rates contracts in the Central and Southeast regions. The shift started in fiscal year 2006 and has continued into fiscal year 2007.

Direct reimbursable expenses in the Civil Engineering segment increased as a percentage of NER by 5.5% to 23.0% in fiscal year 2007 from 17.5% in fiscal year 2006. The increase was primarily due to the substantial use
of subconsultants in connection with the FEMA, MEMA and the Department of Defense projects. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the use of subconsultants in the private sector land development services and a reduction in travel and
meals costs as the result of the completion, in June 2006, of the work related to debris removal from the Florida hurricanes in calendar 2004 and 2005. During the year ended September 30, 2006, the Civil Engineering segment incurred direct
reimbursable costs, including travel and lodging costs, for the employees overseeing debris removal in the areas affected by the disasters.

Our Environmental Services segment experienced an increase of 15.5% in direct reimbursable expenses in fiscal year 2007 when compared to fiscal year 2006. This increase was due primarily to the use of subcontractors required with the
contracts acquired with the EIP acquisition. As a percentage of NER, direct reimbursable expenses decreased by 0.6% to 25.0% in fiscal year 2007 from 25.6% in fiscal year 2006. The decrease was due primarily to a proportionately higher growth in NER
in relation to the increase in direct reimbursable expenses.

Operating income was $29.0 million during the year ended September 30, 2007 as compared to
$10.5 million in the same period in 2006, representing an increase of 177.0%. The increase in total operating income was primarily the result of a decrease in investigation and related costs of $10.4 million and a $2.8 million gain recognized on the
sale-leaseback of the Doral office building, which is included in general and administrative costs. Also contributing to the increase in operating income for the year ended September 30, 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006 was the
growth in engineering fees, principally due to the EIP acquisition. The increase in operating income was offset by a decline in business activity, especially in the residential markets of California and the Southwest, which most affected the
engineering components of our private sector land development services and the temporary stoppage in bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT. Operating income was also negatively impacted by the strategic retention of professional staff to maintain our
readiness response capabilities to any disaster projects and by a decrease in chargeability caused by the slowdown in business activity from the stoppage in bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT, bad winter weather and delays in starting jobs.
Operating income, as a percentage of NER, increased by 3.9% to 6.3% in the year ended September 30, 2007 from 2.4% in the same period in 2006.

We believe that operating income before gain on recoveries and investigation and related costs is a useful measure in evaluating our results of operations because the gain on recoveries, and investigation and related costs

are unusual items which do not reflect the costs or revenues of our provision of services in the given year. While the misappropriations occurred over a long
period, the recoveries and investigation costs are realized when recovered or incurred and not in relation to the period when the misappropriations occurred. We believe this measure is helpful for us and for our investors to evaluate the results of
our operations and make comparisons between periods.

Operating income before insurance proceeds and gain on recoveries, net of
investigation and related costs, was $30.8 million during the year ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $23.1 million in the same period in 2006, representing an increase of 33.3%. As a percentage of NER, operating income before insurance
proceeds and gain on recoveries, net of investigation and related costs increased by 1.4% to 6.7% in the year ended September 30, 2007 from 5.3% in the same period in 2006. This improvement was primarily due to the growth in engineering fees,
principally due to the EIP, which accounted for a major portion of the increase in engineering fees in fiscal year 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006. Also contributing to the improvement in operating results was $2.8 million gain
recognized on the sale-leaseback of the Doral office building, which is included in general and administrative costs. The improvements in operating income before insurance proceeds and gain on recoveries, net of investigation and related costs were
partly offset by a decline in business activity, especially in the residential markets of California and the Southwest, which most affected the engineering components of our private sector land development services and the temporary stoppage in
bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT. Also impacting operating results was the strategic retention of professional staff to maintain our readiness response capabilities to any disaster projects and by a decrease in chargeability caused by the
slowdown in business activity, especially in the first half of the current fiscal year. Insurance proceeds and gain on recoveries and investigation and related costs, net are treated as corporate overhead costs, and as such, are allocated to each
respective segment. The gain recognized on the sale-leaseback of the Doral property has been allocated to each respective segment. The allocation is based on the segments proportionate share of general and administrative costs to total Company
general and administrative costs.

As a percentage of NER, the Transportation Services segments operating income increased by 1.5% to
5.9% in fiscal year 2007 from 4.4% in the same period in 2006. This increase was primarily due to a decrease in the allocation of investigation and related costs in fiscal year 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was partly
offset by a reduction in business activity resulting from the temporary stoppage in bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT and delays in getting new contracts executed and to a lesser extent, this segment also experienced low chargeability in some
groups within the National Services group. As a percentage of NER, the Transportation Services segments operating income before insurance proceeds and gain on recoveries, net of investigation and related costs decreased by 0.9% to 6.3% in the
year ended September 30, 2007 from 7.2 % in the same period in 2006.

The Construction Management segment experienced an increase
in operating income, as a percentage of NER of 7.0% in the year ended September 30, 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006. This increase was primarily driven by a decrease in the allocation of investigation and related costs. Also
contributing to the increase in operating income was a reduction of general and administrative costs resulting primarily from settlements of vehicle liability claims and a reduction in vehicle insurance charges. The increase in operating income was
partly offset by delays in getting jobs started and the winding down of jobs in Texas and Arkansas and work stoppage from the bad winter weather, which started sooner and lasted longer than the prior year. As a percentage of NER, operating income
before insurance proceeds and gain on recoveries, net of investigation and related costs increased by 4.6% to 11.6% in fiscal year 2007 from 7.0% in the same period in 2006.

As a percentage of NER, the Civil Engineering segment operating income increased by 1.0% to 1.3% in fiscal year 2007 from 0.3 % in the same period
in 2006. This increase was primarily driven by a decrease in the allocation of investigation and related costs. Also contributing to the increase in operating income in fiscal year 2007 over the same period in 2006 were the additional engineering
fees generated from several fixed price contracts with FEMA and MEMA and additional services performed under several contracts with the Department of Defense. This increase was partly offset by a decline in the residential market, especially in the

Southwest markets, which affected the engineering components of our private sector land development services and to an increase in indirect salaries
resulting from the strategic investment in the retention of professional staff to maintain our readiness response capabilities to any disaster project and less than optimum chargeability within the engineering components of the private sector. As a
percentage of NER, operating income before insurance proceeds and gain on recoveries, net of investigation and related costs decreased by 1.6% to 1.7% in the year ended September 30, 2007 from 3.3% in the same period in 2006.

The Environmental Services segment experienced an increase in operating income, as a percentage of NER, of 9.2% to 9.3% in fiscal 2007 from 0.1% in the
same period in 2006. This increase was principally driven by the growth in engineering fees from the EIP acquisition, as previously explained, and improvements in chargeability and utilization of the professional staff. Also contributing to the
improvements in operating income was a decrease in the allocation of investigation and related costs in fiscal year 2007 over the same period in 2006. As a percentage of NER, the Environmental Services operating income before insurance proceeds and
gain on recoveries, net of investigation and related costs increased by 6.6% to 9.7% in the year ended September 30, 2007 from 3.1% in the same period in 2006.

Costs

Costs consist principally of direct salaries and direct costs that are chargeable to
clients and overhead and general and administrative expenses.

Direct salaries and direct costs primarily include direct salaries and to a lesser extent
unreimburseable direct costs. Direct salaries include compensation earned primarily by our technical professionals, whose billable labor gets charged back to our clients. Direct costs totaled $1.1 million and $1.7 million in fiscal year 2007 and
2006, respectively. Direct salaries and direct costs were $164.8 million in the year ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $158.4 million in the same period in 2006, representing a 4.0% increase. This increase is directly related to the
increase in engineering fees. As a percentage of NER, direct salaries and direct costs decreased by 0.7% to 36.0% in fiscal year 2007 from 36.7% in fiscal year 2006.

Direct salaries and direct costs in the Transportation Services segment increased 3.6% to $60.1 million in the year ended September 30, 2007 from $58.0 million in the same period in 2006. As a percentage of NER,
direct salaries and direct costs increased by 0.2% to 36.9% in fiscal year 2007 from 36.7% in the same period in 2006, reflecting direct salaries incurred in anticipation of executing new contract assignments.

Direct salaries and direct costs in the Construction Management segment decreased 4.1% to $27.9 million in the year ended September 30, 2007 from
$29.1 million in the same period in 2006. This decrease was due to reduction of professional staff related to the reduction in engineering fees. As a percentage of NER, direct salaries and direct costs decreased by 1.3% to 38.2% in fiscal year 2007
from 39.5% in the same period in 2006. This decrease was due to the efficient utilization of the professional staff as a result of the increase in fixed price contracts.

Direct salaries and direct costs in the Civil Engineering segment increased by 2.7% to $42.9 million in the year ended September 30, 2007 from $41.8 million in the same period in 2006. As a percentage of NER,

salaries and direct costs decreased by 0.8% to 36.0% in fiscal year 2007 from 36.8% in the same period in 2006. This decrease was due in part from the higher
utilization of our professional staff, which resulted in high labor margin performance and a proportionately higher increase in NER in relation to the increase in direct salaries and direct costs.

Direct salaries and direct costs in the Environmental Services segment increased 14.7% to $33.8 million in the year ended September 30, 2007 from
$29.5 million in the same period in 2006. This increase was due primarily to the professional staff added with the acquisitions of EIP, as previously explained. As a percentage of NER, direct salaries and direct costs decreased by 1.1% to 33.0% in
fiscal year 2007 from 34.1% in the same period in 2006. This decrease was due primarily to high labor margin performance coupled with tight controls over headcount

General and Administrative Costs, including Indirect Salaries

The other component of costs is
indirect costs, which include indirect salaries, and general and administrative costs.

Indirect salaries include compensation primarily for administrative staff and to a lesser extent
professional staff that is not chargeable to clients. Indirect salaries increased 9.9% to $100.4 million in fiscal year 2007 from $91.4 million in fiscal year 2006. Indirect salaries as a percentage of NER increased 0.7% to 21.9% in fiscal year 2007
from 21.2% in fiscal year 2006.

The Transportation Services segment experienced an increase in indirect salaries of 10.2% to $36.0 million
in the year ended September 30, 2007 from $32.6 million in the same period in 2006. As a percentage of NER, indirect salaries increased by 1.3 % to 22.0 % in fiscal year September 30, 2007 from 20.7% in the same period in 2006.
Transportation Services segment was impacted by the temporary stoppage on bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT, the addition of professional staff in anticipation of contracts approval and expenditures in business development.

The Construction Management segment experienced a slight increase in indirect salaries of 1.6% to $13.5 million in the year ended September 30, 2007
from $13.3 million in the same period in 2006. As a percentage of NER, indirect salaries increased by 0.5% to 18.5 % in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 from 18.0% in the same period in 2006. The increase in indirect salaries was
due primarily to the retention of key administrative and professional staff in anticipation of getting approvals on several contracts in the Central and Western Regions and work stoppage resulting from the severe winter weather, which started sooner
and lasted longer than the prior year.

The Civil Engineering segment experienced an increase in indirect salaries of 12.9% to $27.9
million in the year ended September 30, 2007 from $24.7 million in the same period in 2006. As a percentage of NER, indirect salaries increased by 1.6 % to 23.4 % in fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 from 21.8% in the same
period in 2006. This increase was primarily due to the strategic retention of administrative and professional staff in

maintaining our readiness capabilities to respond to disaster projects and investment in growing the Federal market program. To a lesser extent, the less
than optimum chargeability within the engineering components of the private sector also contributed to the increase in indirect salaries.

Indirect salaries in our Environmental Services segment increased by 11.0 % to $23.0 million in the year ended September 30, 2007 from $20.7 million in the same period in 2006. Indirect salaries, as a percentage of NER decreased
by 1.5 % to 22.5 % in fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 from 24.0% in the same period in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to higher utilization of our professional staff, which resulted in high labor margin performance.

General and administrative (G&A) costs increased 2.0% to $162.0 million in fiscal
year 2007 from $158.8 million in fiscal year 2006. The majority of the increase was related to increased rent expense for real estate of $2.0 million resulting primarily from renewals of existing leases and new lease agreements. The upgrade of our
financial systems contributed to increases in travel and related expenses of $1.9 million and computer software and related costs of $1.4 million. Our medical insurance premiums and flex benefits increased by $ 1.7 million resulting from rising
costs and the provision for post retirement benefits of $1.7 million also contributed to the increase in G&A. There were also increases in vehicle and equipment leases, repairs and maintenance and payroll tax expenses. The increase in G&A in
fiscal year 2007 over fiscal year 2006 was partly offset by the gain recognized on the sale-leaseback of the Doral office building of $2.8 million and decreases in legal fees and legal settlements and professional fees of $1.8 million and a decrease
in incentive compensation of approximately $850,000. Most of these costs are generally considered corporate costs which benefit all segments and are allocated to the respective segments based on the individual segments proportionate share of
G&A costs as compared to our total G&A costs. G&A as a percentage of NER decreased by 1.4% to 35.4% in the year ended September 30, 2007 from 36.8% in the same period in 2006. The decrease in G&A, as a percentage of NER, was due
primarily to the decrease in legal fees and legal settlements and the gain recognized on the sale-leaseback of the Doral office building.

Insurance Proceeds, (Gain) loss on recoveries, and Investigation and Related Costs

As described elsewhere in this
Annual Report, during fiscal year 2007, we recognized $2.0 million in insurance proceeds related to a claim we filed under our insurance policy to cover fiduciary and crime liability. During fiscal year 2006, we recorded a gain from recovered assets
totaling $1.6 million. The gain of $1.6 million for fiscal year 2006 included $1.4 million gain related to real estate assets recovered which were classified as assets held for sale. Additionally, in fiscal year 2007 and 2006, we incurred $3.8
million and $14.2 million, respectively, in costs to investigate and quantify the impact of the embezzlement, and in costs related to the recovery and maintenance of certain assets. We have not discovered and do not expect to discover any additional
misappropriations, and therefore, we have not recorded any misappropriation losses for fiscal years 2007 and 2006. The insurance proceeds, (gain) loss on recoveries and the investigation and related costs have been allocated to our segments based on
the individual segments proportionate share of G&A costs to our total G&A costs.

Engineering fees for the year ended September 30, 2006, were $537.2 million compared to
$511.9 million in 2005, representing a 4.9% increase. Substantially all of the increase was in the Environmental Services and Transportation Services segments.

Engineering fees from the Transportation Services segment increased 3.8% to $206.0 million in fiscal year 2006 from $198.4 million in fiscal year 2005. The increase included new projects and additional assignments on
existing contracts awarded by the Texas DOT (TxDOT), Nevada DOT and City of Atlanta.

Our Construction Management engineering
fees increased 2.2% to $89.2 million in fiscal year 2006, from $87.3 million in fiscal year 2005. The increase is due in part to a large contract with the Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans. In addition, the Construction Management segment
experienced significant growth, with existing clients, in their Construction Consulting practice in the Southeast Region, including Georgia and Florida DOTs.

In the Civil Engineering segment, engineering fees increased 3.7% to $133.3 million in fiscal year 2006 from $128.6 million in fiscal year 2005. In fiscal year 2006, the Civil Engineering segment benefited from the

addition of several large fixed price contracts with the Department of Defense. This increase in engineering fees was mostly offset by a decrease in the
administration and management of debris removal of the calendar years 2004 and 2005 hurricanes in Florida and a slow down in the private sector residential market in the second half of fiscal year 2006.

Engineering fees in our Environmental Services segment increased 11.4% to $108.7 million in fiscal year 2006 from $97.6 million in fiscal year 2005. The
increase is primarily attributable to organic growth, including two significant new contracts with FEMA and the State of Georgia and a new contract with the California Department of Water Resources. To a lesser extent, engineering fees increased as
a result of the April 30, 2006 acquisition of EIP. Engineering fees from EIP, following the acquisition, were $5.3 million in fiscal year 2006. Additionally, the Environmental Services segment benefited from the full year impact of the LWC
acquisition, which was acquired on February 1, 2005. The full year impact in engineering fees from the LWC acquisition was $1.9 million.

Direct reimbursable expenses consist of out-of-pocket expenses related to the delivery of services
such as blueprints, reproductions, CADD/computer charges, travel, and sub-consultant expenses. As a percentage of NER, direct reimbursable expenses decreased 6.8% to 24.5% in fiscal year 2006 from 31.3% in fiscal year 2005. The decrease was driven
by the Civil Engineering and Construction Management segments. The decrease was partially offset by an increase experienced by the Environmental Services segment.

Direct reimbursable expenses in the Transportation Services segment experienced a decrease of 1.7 % in fiscal year 2006 when compared to fiscal year 2005. As a percentage of NER, direct reimbursable expenses
decreased by 2.3% to 30.4% in fiscal year 2006 from 32.7% in fiscal year 2005. The decrease primarily resulted from decreased use of sub consultants in fiscal year 2006.

In our Construction Management segment, direct reimbursable expenses as a percentage of NER decreased by 7.9% to 21.1% in fiscal year 2006 from 29.0% in fiscal year 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a

market shift from direct reimbursable projects to more lump sum and all-inclusive billing rates contracts in the Central and Southeast regions. The shift
started in fiscal year 2005 and has continued into fiscal year 2006.

Direct reimbursable expenses in the Civil Engineering segment
decreased as a percentage of NER by 17.4% to 17.5% in fiscal year 2006 from 34.9% in fiscal year 2005. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in subcontractors costs related to debris removal from the Florida hurricanes in calendar
years 2004 and 2005. In fiscal year 2005, the Civil Engineering segment incurred significant subcontractors costs and travel and lodging costs for the hundreds of employees overseeing debris removal in the areas affected by the disasters.

Our Environmental Services segment experienced an increase of 9.7% in direct reimbursable expenses in fiscal year 2006 when compared to
fiscal year 2005. This increase was due primarily to the use of subcontractors, included with some contracts acquired with the EIP and LWC acquisitions. As a percentage of NER, direct reimbursable expenses decreased slightly by 0.5% to 25.6% in
fiscal year 2006 from 26.1% in fiscal year 2005.

Operating income was $10.5 million in fiscal year 2006 as compared to $38.4 million in fiscal year
2005, representing a decrease of 72.8%. The decrease in total operating income is primarily the result of an increase in investigation and related costs of $8.8 million, and a reduction in gain from recovered assets of $12.7 million, offset by a
reduction in misappropriation loss of $3.6 million. Also contributing to the decrease in operating income is an increase in indirect salaries resulting from the temporary work stoppage in bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT, the transition of new
acquisitions and additional time spent on business development. We also experienced increases in general and administrative (G&A) costs, which grew at a higher rate than NER. The major increases in G&A are explained below. All
segments had decreases in fiscal year 2006 operating income from the prior fiscal year. Operating income, as a percentage of NER, decreased by 7.4% to 2.4% in fiscal year 2006 from 9.8% in fiscal year 2005. All segments experienced decreases in
fiscal year 2006 operating income as a percentage of NER as compared to fiscal year 2005.

We believe that operating income before
misappropriation loss and investigation and related costs is a useful measure in evaluating our results of operations because the misappropriation loss, recoveries, and investigation and related costs are unusual items which do not reflect the costs
or revenues of our provision of services in the given year. While the misappropriations occurred over a long period, the recoveries and investigation costs are realized when recovered or incurred and not in relation to the period when the
misappropriations occurred. We believe this measure is helpful for us and for our investors to evaluate the results of our operations and make comparisons between periods.

Operating income before misappropriation loss and investigation and related costs, net was $23.1 million for fiscal year 2006 as compared to $33.1
million for fiscal year 2005, representing a decrease of 30.3%. Operating

income before misappropriation loss and related costs, net, as a percentage of NER, decreased by 3.2% to 5.3% in fiscal year 2006 from 8.5% in fiscal year
2005. The decrease in operating income before misappropriation loss and investigation and related costs is primarily due to the increase in indirect salaries caused by the temporary stoppage in bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT, the transition of
acquisitions, and additional time spent on business development. We also experienced increases in G&A costs, which grew at a higher rate than NER. The major increases are explained below. Misappropriation loss and investigation and related
costs, net are treated as corporate overhead costs, and as such, are allocated to each respective segment. The allocation is based on the segments proportionate share of G&A costs to our total G&A costs.

As a percentage of NER, the Transportation Services segments operating income decreased by 7.3% to 4.4% in fiscal year 2006 from 11.7% in fiscal
year 2005. This decrease is primarily due to the increase in misappropriation loss (recoveries) and investigation related costs, net. As a percentage of NER, the Transportation Services segments operating income before misappropriation loss
and investigation and related costs, net decreased by 3.2% to 7.2% in fiscal year 2006 from 10.4% in fiscal year 2005. This decrease experienced by the Transportation Services segment was driven by lower multipliers on some contracts and a decrease
in chargeability resulting from the temporary stoppage on bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT during the latter part of fiscal year 2006.

The Construction Management segment experienced a decrease in operating income of 57.0% in fiscal year 2006 when compared to the same fiscal year in 2005. This decrease is primarily due to the increase in misappropriation loss (recoveries)
and investigation related costs, net. The Construction Management segment experienced a decrease in operating income before misappropriation loss and investigation and related costs, net, of 18.6% in fiscal year 2006 when compared to fiscal year in
2005. Factors contributing to the decrease included the start-up costs associated with the new at-risk construction management services initiated in fiscal year 2006 and the additional expenditures incurred in marketing and business development in
the West and Southeast regions. Additional costs were also incurred in promoting safety initiatives throughout this segment.

As a
percentage of NER, the Civil Engineering segment operating income decreased by 7.6% to 0.3% in fiscal year 2006 from 7.9% in fiscal year 2005. This decrease is primarily due to the increase in misappropriation loss (recoveries) and investigation
related costs, net. As a percentage of NER, the Civil Engineering segment operating income before misappropriation loss and investigation and related costs, net decreased by 3.2% to 3.3% in fiscal year 2006 from 6.5% in fiscal year 2005. The Civil
Engineering segment was impacted in fiscal year 2006 by the decline in engineering fees from the disaster response projects related to the Florida hurricanes and the slow down in the private sector residential market, as previously explained, and
additional expenditures in marketing and business development.

The Environmental Services segment experienced a decrease in operating
income of 99.1% in fiscal year 2006 when compared to the same fiscal year in 2005. This decrease is primarily due to the increase in misappropriation loss (recoveries) and investigation related costs, net. The Environmental Services segment
experienced a decrease in operating income before misappropriation loss and investigation and related costs, net of 44.6% in fiscal year 2006 when compared to the same fiscal year in 2005. However, as a percentage of NER, the Environmental Services
segment had a decrease of 3.3% to 3.1% in fiscal year 2006 compared to 6.4% in fiscal year 2005. This decrease was primarily due to decreased chargeability, partially due to the transition of the EIP acquisition and expenditures for marketing and
business development.

Costs

Costs consist principally of direct salaries and direct costs that are chargeable to clients and overhead and general and administrative expenses.

Direct salaries and direct costs primarily include direct salaries and to a lesser extent
unreimburseable direct costs. Direct costs totaled $1.7 million and $881,000 in fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively. Direct salaries and direct costs were $158.4 million in fiscal year 2006, as compared to $146.3 million in fiscal year 2005,
representing an increase of 8.3%. This increase is directly related to the increase in engineering fees. As a percentage of NER, all segments experienced a decrease from a year ago. On a Company basis, direct salaries and direct costs as a
percentage of NER decreased by 0.8% to 36.7% in fiscal year 2006 from 37.5% in fiscal year 2005.

The Transportation Services segment
experienced an increase in direct salaries and direct costs of 3.2% to $58.0 million in fiscal year 2006 compared to $56.2 million in fiscal year 2005. However, as a percentage of NER, direct salaries and direct costs decreased by 0.9% to 36.7% in
fiscal year 2006 from 37.6% in fiscal year 2005, reflecting improvements in capturing labor costs billable to clients.

Direct salaries and
direct costs in the Construction Management segment increased to $29.1 million in fiscal year 2006, or a 3.9% increase from $28.0 million in fiscal year 2005. As a percentage of NER, direct salaries and direct costs decreased 1.9% to 39.5% in fiscal
year 2006 from 41.4% in fiscal year 2005. This decrease is due to increased chargeability and higher profitability resulting from the shifting of direct reimbursable projects to lump sum and all-inclusive billing rates contracts in the Central and
Southeast regions, as previously explained.

For the Civil Engineering segment, direct salaries and direct costs increased by 18.7% to
$41.8 million in fiscal year 2006 versus $35.2 million in fiscal year 2005. This increase was directly related to the addition of several large fixed price contracts with the Department of Defense, which required the use of our professional staff.
As a percentage of NER, direct salaries and direct costs decreased by 0.1% to 36.8% in fiscal year 2006 from 36.9% in fiscal year 2005. This decrease was primarily due to the increase in NER for this segment resulting from the significant decrease
in direct reimbursable expenses, as previously explained. For fiscal year 2006, NER for the Civil Engineering segment grew at a slightly higher rate, 19.0%, than the increase in direct salaries and direct costs.

For our Environmental Services segment, direct salaries and direct costs increased to $29.5 million in fiscal year 2006 from $26.8 million in fiscal year
2005, representing an increase of 9.8%. This increase was due primarily to the professional staff added with the acquisitions of EIP and LWC, as previously explained. As a percentage of NER, direct salaries and direct costs decreased by 0.6% to
34.1% in fiscal year 2006 from 34.7% in fiscal year 2005.

General and Administrative Costs, including Indirect Salaries

The other component of costs is indirect costs, which include indirect salaries, and general and administrative costs.

Indirect salaries increased 18.7%, to $91.4 million in fiscal year 2006 from $77.0 million in
fiscal year 2005. Indirect salaries as a percentage of NER increased 1.5% to 21.2% in fiscal year 2006 compared to 19.7% in fiscal year 2005.

Transportation Services experienced an increase in indirect salaries as a percentage of NER of 1.4% from 19.3% in fiscal year 2005 to 20.7% in fiscal year 2006 resulting from decreased chargeability. The Transportation Services segment was
impacted by the temporary stoppage on bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT during the latter part of fiscal year 2006, as previously explained.

Indirect salaries in our Construction Management segment increased 18.8% to $13.3 million in fiscal year 2006 from $11.2 million in fiscal year 2005. As a percentage of NER, indirect salaries increased by 1.5% to 18.0% in fiscal year 2006
from 16.5% in fiscal year 2005. The increase in indirect salaries was due primarily to the start-up costs incurred with the new at-risk construction management services and the additional expenditure incurred in marketing and business development in
the West and Southeast regions, as previously explained.

Civil Engineering experienced an increase in indirect salaries as a percentage of
NER of 1.4% to 21.8% in fiscal year 2006 from 20.4% in fiscal year 2005. This increase resulted from the winding down of work related to the hurricanes response projects and adjusting to the slow down in the private sector residential market and
additional time spent on business development.

Environmental Services segment experienced an increase in indirect salaries of 18.6% in
fiscal year 2006 when compared to the same fiscal year in 2005. As a percentage of NER, indirect salaries increased by 1.4% to 24.0% in fiscal year 2006 from 22.6% in fiscal year 2005. The increase in indirect salaries was primarily due to decreased
chargeability partially due to the transition of the EIP acquisition and additional focus on marketing and business development.

General and administrative (G&A) costs increased 18.9%, to $158.8 million in
fiscal year 2006 from $133.6 million in fiscal year 2005. The majority of the increase is primarily related to increased medical insurance premiums and flex benefits resulting from rising costs of $6.4 million, professional fees of $1.2 million,
legal settlements and fees of $4.9 million, travel and related expenses of $2.4 million, rent expense for

real estate of $2.2 million, payroll taxes of $2.3 million, insurance of $1.2 million, deferred compensation of $1.3 million and vehicle and equipment leases
and related expenses of $1.2 million. We also incurred additional expenses for depreciation and amortization, business development, communication and computer software and supplies. The increase in G&A in fiscal year 2006 over fiscal year 2005
was partly offset by a decrease in incentive compensation of $2.5 million. These costs are generally considered corporate costs which benefit all segments and are allocated to the respective segments based on the individual segments
proportionate share of G&A costs as compared to our total G&A costs.

Misappropriation loss (recoveries) and Investigation
and Related Costs

As described elsewhere in this Annual Report, we have recorded a $3.6 million misappropriation loss for the year
ended September 30, 2005. During fiscal year 2005, we also recorded a gain from recovered assets totaling $14.3 million, resulting in a net gain on recoveries of $10.7 million for fiscal year 2005. During fiscal year 2006, we recorded a gain
from recovered assets totaling $1.6 million. The gain of $1.6 million for fiscal year 2006 included $1.4 million gain related to real estate assets recovered which were classified as assets held for sale. Additionally, in fiscal year 2006 and 2005,
we incurred $14.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively, in costs to investigate and quantify the impact of the embezzlement, and in costs related to the recovery and maintenance of certain assets. The recorded gain from recovered assets and the
investigation and related costs have been allocated to our segments based on the individual segments proportionate share of G&A costs to our total G&A costs.

Consolidated Results

Net Income:

Net income was $19.1 million, $5.4 million, and $21.1 million for fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. The percentage of net income to NER was
4.2%, 1.3%, and 5.4% for fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005.

The significant improvement in net income in fiscal year 2007, as compared to
fiscal year 2006, was primarily the result of a decrease in investigation and related costs of $10.4 million and $2.8 million gain recognized on the sale-leaseback of the Doral office building. The increase in net income was also impacted by a
decrease in our effective tax rate. The reduction in the effective tax rate was due primarily to a decrease in non-deductible expenses, partly offset by a reduction in Federal tax credits and lower reversal of the tax contingency accrual during the
year. Net income in fiscal year 2007 also benefited from an increase in engineering fees resulting primarily from the EIP acquisition and a change in estimate of the accrued reimbursement liability, which resulted in a reduction in the liability
with a corresponding increase in engineering fees of $4.5 million, without any corresponding costs and expenses. The increase in net income was partly offset by a decline in business activity, especially in the residential markets of California and
the Southwest, which most affected the engineering components of our private sector land development services and the temporary stoppage in bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT. Additionally, the increase in net income was partly offset by an
increase in indirect labor resulting from the strategic retention of professional staff to maintain our readiness response capabilities to any disaster projects, delays in getting new jobs approved and the impact of the severe winter weather in the
current year. The effective tax rate decreased to 30.7% in fiscal year 2007 from 37.8% in fiscal year 2006.

The majority of the increase
in general and administrative costs was related to increased rent expense for real estate of $2.0 million resulting primarily from renewals of existing leases and new lease agreements. The upgrade of our financial systems contributed to increases in
travel and related expenses of $1.9 million and computer software and related costs of $ 1.4 million. Our medical insurance premiums and flex benefits increased by $ 1.7 million resulting from rising costs and the provision for post retirement
benefits of $1.7 million also contributed to the increase in G&A. There were also increases in vehicle and equipment leases,

repairs and maintenance and payroll tax expenses. The increase in G&A in fiscal year 2007 over fiscal year 2006 was partly offset by the gain recognized
on the sale-leaseback of the Doral office building of $2.8 million and decreases in legal fees and legal settlements and professional fees of $1.8 million and a decrease in incentive compensation and 401(k) matching contributions of approximately
$850,000. Most of these costs are generally considered corporate costs which benefit all segments and are allocated to the respective segments based on the individual segments proportionate share of G&A costs as compared to total Company
G&A costs.

Income Taxes:

The income tax provision was $8.4 million and $3.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 30.7% and 37.8%, for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The reduction in the effective tax rate in
fiscal year 2007 as compared to fiscal year 2006 was due primarily to a decrease in non-deductible expenses, partly offset by a reduction in Federal tax credits and lower reversal of the tax contingency accrual.

Our effective tax rate is based on income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which we
operate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions. We established reserves when, despite our belief that the tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe that certain
positions, if challenged, will likely be resolved unfavorably to us. These reserves are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit or current developments in tax law. Our annual tax rate includes the
impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular matter, we believe that our reserves reflect the probable outcome of known tax
contingencies. Resolution of the tax contingencies would be recognized as an increase or decrease to our tax rate in the period of resolution. During the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Federal statute of limitations expired on
returns for years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination for these years. As a result, the Company reduced its tax contingency accrual by $3.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. In
addition, for the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company increased its tax contingency accrual by $1.7 million. The net changes in the tax contingency accrual reduced the Companys effective tax rate by 5.3% and 11.9% for the years ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We have recorded a tax contingency accrual of $11.0 million and $12.5 million as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively related primarily to research and development tax credits taken on our tax
returns. The tax accruals are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets within accounts payable and accrued expenses.

For
the past several years, we have generated research and development tax credits related to certain qualifying costs. The qualifying costs relate primarily to our project costs which we believe involve technical uncertainty. These research and
development costs were incurred in the course of providing services generally under long-term client projects. Because we have been unable to utilize the entire amount of research and development tax credits we have generated each year, the balance
sheets reflect a deferred tax asset of approximately $203,000 and $5.7 million at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for the unused credit carry forwards. These research and development tax credit carry-forwards will expire beginning
2017 through 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, our primary sources of liquidity were cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit lines, proceeds from the sale-leaseback of property and
proceeds from the sale of stock. In fiscal year 2007, we generated $21.4 million in net proceeds from the sale- leaseback of our Doral office building. The proceeds from the sale of stock, received in fiscal year 2006, relate to stock sold in fiscal
year 2005. In fiscal year 2007 and 2006, we did not offer any common stock for sale to our employees until the final impact of the restatement of the Companys 2005 and prior consolidated financial statements was determined and all SEC filing
regulations had been met such as, the filing of quarterly and annual reports.

##### Table of Contents

Our primary uses of cash have been to fund our working capital and capital expenditure needs, service our
debt obligations, and the redemption of shares of our common stock during the year. Based on our past experience, we have been able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and cash flows available under our credit facility to fund our
operating and capital expenditure requirements, as well as to service our debt obligations, including our accrued client reimbursement liability and stock redemptions. We believe that we can generate sufficient cash flows from operations and cash
flows available under our credit facility to fund our operating and capital expenditure requirements, as well as to service our debt obligations, including our accrued client reimbursement liability, for fiscal year 2008 and beyond. In the event we
experience a significant adverse change in our business operations or higher than expected stock redemptions, we would likely need to secure additional sources of financing, and we may not be able to obtain additional sources of funding at
reasonable rates and terms.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $4.9 million in fiscal year 2007 as compared to $10.9 million for fiscal year 2006. The decrease in net
cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2007 from fiscal year 2006 was primarily due to an increase in unbilled fees resulting from the increase in engineering fees, principally from the EIP acquisition and increase in business activity
and a reduction in the accrued reimbursement liability, which reflects payments made to clients in fiscal year 2007 for the overstatement of overhead rates. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was partly offset by a significant
reduction in investigation and related costs and cash flows from projects resulting from the growth in engineering fees, as previously explained. Cash flows from projects benefited from a decrease in accounts receivable resulting from collections in
excess of amounts billed during the periods.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $10.9 million for fiscal year 2006 as
compared to $37.5 million for fiscal year 2005. The reduction in net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2006 from fiscal year 2005 was primarily the result of a significant increase in investigation and related costs, net of gains
on assets recovered in connection with the misappropriation loss, as more fully explained in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements. Our cash flows from projects were negatively impacted by the temporary stoppage on bidding for new jobs
with the TxDOT and lower chargeability resulting from the transition of acquisitions and time spent on business development during fiscal year 2006. Also impacting cash flows from income generated by projects were an increase in accounts receivable,
offset by a decrease in unbilled fees. We also experienced a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses and accrued reimbursement liability. The reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses reflects payments made to vendors and
consultants, and the reduction in accrued reimbursement liability reflects payments made to clients in fiscal year 2006 for the overstatement of overhead rates. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was partly offset by the
proceeds from the disposal of assets held for sale, offset by a reduction of liabilities related to assets held for sale and the change in the provision for deferred taxes in fiscal year 2006 over fiscal year 2005.

Approximately 80% of our revenues are billed on a monthly basis. The remaining amounts are billed when we reach certain stages of completion as specified
in the contract. Payment terms for accounts receivable and unbilled fees, when billed, are net 30 days. Unbilled fees increased 25.1% to $78.5 million at September 30, 2007 from $62.8 million at September 30, 2006. The increase in unbilled
fees during fiscal year 2007 is principally related to the increase in engineering fees, as previously explained.

Accounts receivable, net
decreased 2.0% to $83.5 million at September 30, 2007 from $85.2 million at September 30, 2006. The decrease in accounts receivable is primarily related to the improvement in collecting billed amounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts
remained at the same level during fiscal year 2007. The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.8 million at September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006.

During fiscal year 2007, we have incurred additional costs in connection with the investigations and with the restatement of our previously issued
consolidated financial statements. The work related to the restatement was

completed in fiscal year 2007. We do not expect to incur any additional expenses for legal fees or forensic accounting fees and related costs related to the
misappropriation in fiscal year 2008. We expect to incur approximately $25,000 in other expenses relating to the maintenance of assets held for sale included in other non-current assets in the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30,
2007. Additionally, we expect to substantially settle all pending client reimbursement liabilities during fiscal year 2008.

Cash Flows
from Investing Activities

During fiscal year 2007, net cash provided from investing activities was $10.3 million, which resulted
primarily from the proceeds of $21.4 million, on the sale-leaseback of the Doral office building, partly offset by purchases of property and equipment of $10.3 million. Net cash used in investing activities was $16.5 million in fiscal years 2006.
Investing activities principally consist of purchases of property and equipment, such as survey equipment, computer systems, software applications, furniture and equipment and leasehold improvements. There were no payments in fiscal year 2007 for
acquisitions, adjustments or earn-out payments on previous acquisitions. In fiscal years 2006, we made payments of $5.9 million for acquisitions and earn-out payments on a previous acquisition.

In fiscal year 2006, we completed one acquisition. On April 30, 2006, we acquired 100% of the stock of EIP Associates for $6.0 million, net of cash
acquired of $15,000, comprised of $5.5 million in cash, $334,000 accrued additional purchase price and $200,000 held in escrow.

In fiscal
year 2005, we completed two acquisitions. On October 1, 2004 we acquired 100% of the stock of Croslin Associates, Inc for $456,000 in cash and 11,111 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $300,000. On February 1, 2005 we
acquired 100% of the stock of Land and Water Consulting, Inc. for $323,000 in cash and 33,862 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $914,000.

During fiscal year 2008, we anticipate our capital expenditures to be $10.0 million, including $2.1 million relating to the implementation of our new Oracle enterprise resource planning system.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for fiscal year 2007 was $6.8 million, as compared to $16.9 million for fiscal year 2006. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities in fiscal year 2007 from fiscal year 2006 is primarily
attributable to a decrease in the payments for the repurchase of common stock from employees of $17.2 million, partly offset by a decrease in proceeds from sale of common stock of $4.3 million and an increase in employee shareholders loans of
$ 1.6 million related to funds loaned by us to employee shareholders in connection with their purchase of stock through the internal window.

Net cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2006 was $16.9 million, as compared to $4.5 million for fiscal year 2005. The increase in net cash used in financing activities in fiscal year 2006 from fiscal year 2005 is primarily
attributable to an increase in the payments for the repurchase of common stock from employees of $6.6 million and a decrease in the proceeds from the sale of common stock to employees of $6.5 million. As explained below, we did not offer any common
stock to employees in fiscal year 2006, but received payment in fiscal year 2006 related to the 2005 sale of common stock to employees. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was partly offset by an increase in net borrowings under
our line of credit of $762,000.

Pursuant to the terms of our credit agreement, we cannot declare or pay dividends in excess of 50% of our
net income. We have not previously paid cash dividends on our common stock and have no present intention of paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. All earnings are retained for investment in our business.

Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2007, we had a $58 million line of credit agreement, inclusive of $10 million in letters of credit, with Bank of America, N.A. (the Bank). The expiration date on the line of credit
was June 30, 2008. The letters of credit reduce the maximum amount available for borrowing. As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, we had letters of credit totaling $1.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively, including $1.8 million and $2.2
million, respectively, to guarantee insurance payments. In addition, in the second quarter of 2006, we issued a letter of credit which expired in November 2006 and was not renewed, for $ 2.0 million to cover risk of insolvency for the FDOT. No
amounts have been drawn on any of these letters of credit. As a result of the issuance of these letters of credit, the maximum amount available for borrowing under the line of credit was $56.1 million and $52.6 million as of September 30, 2007
and 2006, respectively.

In November 2007, we negotiated an extension of the line of credit with the Bank with a new expiration date of
October 2011. As part of the extension agreement, substantially all the terms and conditions remained the same, except that the line of credit was increased to $60 million and the minimum levels of net worth requirement was eliminated from the
agreement.

As of September 30, 2007, there was no amount outstanding under our line of credit since the balance was paid back from
the net cash flows generated from the sale-leaseback of the Doral office building. As of September 30, 2006, we had $1.1 million outstanding under the line of credit. The maximum amount borrowed under our line of credit was $36.0 million and
$11.3 million during fiscal year 2007 and 2006, respectively. Although our most significant source of cash has historically been generated from operations, in the event that cash flows from operations are insufficient to cover our working capital
needs, we access our revolving line of credit facility.

The interest rate (5.85% and 5.82% at September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively) ranges from LIBOR plus 50 basis points or Prime minus 125 basis points if our funded debt coverage ratio is less than 2.5. The range increases to LIBOR plus 75 basis points to Prime minus 100 basis points if our funded debt coverage
ratio is between 2.5 to 3.0. The line of credit contains clauses requiring the maintenance of various covenants and financial ratios including a minimum coverage ratio of certain fixed charges, and a minimum leverage ratio of earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization to funded debt. We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the line of credit as of September 30, 2007. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all of our assets.

On March 19, 2001, we entered into a mortgage note with an original principal amount of $9.0 million due in monthly installments
starting on April 16, 2001, with interest. Interest on the mortgage is one month LIBOR plus the floating rate margin of not less than 65 basis points and not greater than 90 basis points. A balloon payment is due on the mortgage on
March 16, 2011. The effective interest rate on the mortgage note was 6.19% and 5.98% for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We were in compliance with all financial covenants and ratios as of
September 30, 2007. The mortgage note is collateralized by our office building located in Orlando, Florida.

In October 2007, we
negotiated a modification to the mortgage note thereby eliminating the minimum levels of net worth requirement from the mortgage note.

Our
capital expenditures are generally for purchases of property and equipment. We spent $10.3 million, $11.4 million, and $10.3 million on such expenditures in fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Our capital expenditures primarily consist
of computer systems, software applications, furniture and equipment and leasehold improvement purchases.

We carry insurance to cover
fiduciary and crime liability. The policy is renewed on an annual basis and was in effect for the periods in which the Participants misappropriated funds. We filed a claim under the annual

policy for the period ending in April 2005 (the 2005 Policy), to recover some of the misappropriation losses which resulted from the
embezzlement. In January 2007, we received $2.0 million, the stated limit under the 2005 Policy. The insurance proceeds were recognized in insurance proceeds and gain on recoveries, net of misappropriation loss in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2007. In August 2007, we filed suit seeking a declaration that the insurance carrier is obligated to us for losses suffered as a result of the embezzlement for
policy years 1991 through 2004. The amount of recovery sought for those policy years is $17 million. At the present time, we are unable to predict the likely outcome of this legal action and accordingly have not recorded any insurance receivable.

A stock offering window usually takes place on an annual basis during the second fiscal quarter. The stock window allows existing
shareholders to offer shares of common stock for sale to us. Under the corporate by-laws, we have the first right of refusal to purchase these shares. If we decline to purchase the offered shares, they are offered to the Employee Profit Sharing
and Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (ESOP) and then to all shareholders who are employees.

We suspended the stock offering window for March
2006 until the final impact of the restatement of our consolidated financial statements was determined and all SEC filing regulations are met such as, the filing of quarterly and annual reports.

In fiscal year 2007, we cancelled the stock window for March 2007 because we were not current in filing our quarterly reports for fiscal 2007 with the
SEC. Instead we authorized an internal market window (internal window) for employee shareholders to purchase and sell shares our shares. We facilitated this internal window by matching employee shareholders who wished to purchase and
sell our shares at the September 30, 2006 valuation price of $24.34. We had the option, but not the obligation, to purchase any unmatched sell shares that employee shareholders wished to sell and which did not have a matching employee
shareholder purchaser. The internal window started on July 2, 2007 and ended on July 27, 2007. Eligible buyers were our employees and directors and ESOP. At the end of the internal window, there were unmatched sell shares. We did not
exercise our right to purchase the unmatched sell shares. The unmatched sell shares were next offered to the ESOP, which agreed to purchase all of the unmatched sell shares.

As a result of the internal window, the Company loaned funds on behalf of purchasing employee shareholders, for those shares that were matched, to those
employee shareholders who wished to sell their shares for the full amount due. Employee shareholders that wished to purchase matched shares were required to execute promissory notes (notes) and pledge share agreements as collateral for
the notes. The notes are interest free and are due on December 28, 2007. At September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance of the notes was $1.9 million. Since September 30, 2007, the Company has collected approximately $300,000 of the
outstanding balance, which is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2007. The remaining balance of $1.6 million is included as a reduction of stockholders equity in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders equity as of and for the year ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

We expect to open our fiscal year 2008 stock window in the second fiscal quarter.

We believe that our
existing financial resources, together with our cash flow from operations and availability under our line of credit, will provide sufficient capital to fund our operations for fiscal year 2008 and beyond.

Inflation

The rate of inflation has not had a
material impact on our operations. Moreover, if inflation remains at its recent levels, it is not expected to have a material impact on our operations for the foreseeable future.

We formerly leased office space in a building which houses our Marietta, Georgia operations from BCE Properties, which is owned and controlled by James
Belk. Mr. Belk is a former owner of Welker and a Vice-President and Project Director of ours. The lease was assumed in connection with our acquisition of Welker in March 2003. The rental cost of the space is $17,600 per month. On May 31,
2006, the lease expired and was not renewed. In June 2006, we moved our Marietta, Georgia operations to a new location.

We lease office
space in a building which houses our Missoula, Montana operations from Cedar Enterprises, which is owned and controlled by Charlie K. Vandam. Mr. Vandam is a former owner of LWC and a Senior Program Manager of ours. The lease was assumed in
connection with our acquisition of LWC in February 2005. The rental cost of the space is $9,500 per month.

We lease office space in a

was assumed in connection with our acquisition of LWC in February 2005. The rental cost of the space is $1,800 per month.

In fiscal year
2007 and 2006, we purchased $2,318 and $21,652 of products and services from PSMJ Resources, Inc. Frank A. Stasiowski, PSMJ Resources Inc.s President and Chief Executive Officer is a member of our Board of Directors.

In fiscal year 2007 and 2006, Mr. Phillip Searcy received payments from the Company totaling $124,266 and $120,907 in accordance with his
Supplemental Income Plan which originated when Mr. Searcy was employed with the Company. Mr. Searcy ceased full-time employment with the Company in 1996 and joined our Board of Directors in July 2005.

Pursuant to the Companys by-laws, the Company is permitted to repurchase stock by delivery
of a promissory note to the employee. On February 23, 2006 the Company repurchased 46,000 shares and 3,400 shares, respectively, of the Companys stock from Richard Wickett, our former Chairman of the Board from 2002 to February 2005 and
former Chief Financial Officer from 1993 to 2004, and Kathryn Wilson in the original principal amounts of $1.2 million and $92,000, respectively. The shares were repurchased for $27.00 per share which represents the September 30, 2004 share
price, pending completion of the valuation of the Companys stock as of September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2007, the Company had an accrual of $49,400 for the difference between the purchase price and the September 30, 2005
share value of $28.00. At September 30, 2007, the notes bear interest at the rate of 8.25% per annum and such rate is adjusted to the then current prime rate of Bank of America on December 31stof each year. Accrued interest and $1 of principal is due monthly on the notes with all remaining principal and accrued interest due and payable on the five year anniversary of the
date of issuance.

On February 13, 2007, we repurchased an additional
46,607 shares of our stock from Richard Wickett in the original principal amount of $1.0 million. The additional shares were purchased for $22.40 per share which represents 80% of the September 30, 2005 share price, pending completion of the
valuation of our stock as of September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2007, we had an accrual for the difference between the purchase price and the September 30, 2006 share value. At September 30, 2007, the notes bear interest at the

year. Accrued interest and $1 of principal is due monthly on the notes with all remaining principal and accrued interest due and payable on the five year
anniversary of the date of issuance.

Both notes are subject to our right of set off, which permit us to set off all claims we may have
against the payee against amounts due and owing under the notes. The balances of the notes and the accruals for the stock price differentials were $2.5 million and $1.4 million at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and were included in
other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, as permitted under certain
conditions pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we discontinued payments, and the provision of other benefits, to Richard Wickett under his Supplemental Retirement Agreement. The agreement was determined to be forfeited by Richard Wickett due in
part to his pleading guilty to a felony. As a result of the forfeiture, our projected benefit obligation, as defined under SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
was reduced by $1.2 million ($809,000 after taxes) at September 30, 2007. The reduction in the liability was recognized in other comprehensive income and will be recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost based on the amortization
provisions of SFAS 87. Additional information concerning Retirement Plans is set forth in Item 8, Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which are included herein.

In November 2007, we reached a tentative agreement with a former senior executive to reduce the term of his Supplemental Retirement Agreement to five
years. As a result of this tentative agreement, the projected benefit obligation was reduced, as defined under SFAS No.158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans by approximately
$415,000 ($280,000 after tax) at September 30, 2007. The reduction in the liability was recognized in other comprehensive income and will be recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost based on the amortization provisions of SFAS 87.
Additional information concerning Retirement Plans is set forth in Item 8, Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which are included herein.

In July 2007, pursuant to our by-laws, we did not exercise our right of first refusal to redeem the shares offered for redemption by our former National
Service Director and Senior Vice President. In accordance with our by-laws, the shares were next offered to our ESOP plan; the ESOP plan has agreed to redeem the shares over the course of five years. The first annual installment of 54,567
shares was redeemed on July 8, 2007 at the established valuation price of $24.34 for a total of $1.3 million. Subsequent annual installments of 10,940, 33,261, 33,261 and 33,261 shares will be redeemed in the second quarter of each fiscal
year beginning with fiscal year 2008 by our ESOP plan at a price per share established by future valuations of our shares.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements

On February 15, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159
(SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial
assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS 159 further establishes certain additional disclosure
requirements. SFAS 159 is effective for the Companys financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact and timing of the adoption of SFAS 159
on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158 (SFAS 158),
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. This standard requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a
multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. We were required to adopt the recognition and
related disclosure provisions of SFAS 158 beginning with our fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended

September 30, 2007. As a result, we recorded a pre-tax charge to accumulated other comprehensive income totaling $392,000 ($233,000 after tax). For
additional information, see Note 8, Retirement Plans. We are also required to adopt the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009. This provision requires companies to measure plan assets and
benefit obligations as of the date of the companys fiscal year-end. No change in measurement dates was necessary since we already meet this requirement.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 prescribes a single definition of fair value as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting provisions of SFAS 157 were to be effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30,
2009. In November 2007, the FASB reaffirmed the originally scheduled implementation date in accounting for financial assets and liabilities of financial institutions and provided a one year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for other
nonfinancial assets and liabilities. As a result, SFAS 157 is expected to be effective for the Company on October 1, 2010. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how the
effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to
evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is material, companies will record the effect as a cumulative effect
adjustment to beginning of year retained earnings. SAB 108 will be effective for us in fiscal year ending September 30, 2008. We do not believe the adoption of SAB 108 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan
interpretation of FASB No. 109 (FIN 48). This interpretation establishes guidelines and thresholds that must be met for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In
November 2007, the FASB decided to defer the effective date of FIN 48, for nonpublic entities until years beginning after December 15, 2007 and accordingly FIN 48 is expected to be effective for the Company on October 1, 2008. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (FSP) FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, ( FSP 115-1 and 124-1) which address the determination as to when an
investment is impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. FSP 115-1 and 124-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment
and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in FSP 115-1 and 124-1 amends FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities, and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. FSP 115-1 and 124-1 is effective for reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FSP 115-1 and 124-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 (SFAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections(SFAS 154), which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 Accounting
Changes and SFAS No. 3 Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial
statements presented on the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate, and correction of errors in
previously issued financial statements should be termed a restatement. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and

correction of errors made in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. We early adopted SFAS 154 in fiscal year ended
September 30, 2005, and have reported and disclosed the correction of errors in our previously reported consolidated financial statements in accordance with SFAS 154. The other reporting and disclosure requirements of SFAS 154 did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, beginning with the first annual period beginning after
December 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. We have adopted SFAS 123(R) in our first quarter of fiscal year 2007, beginning October 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) resulted in the reclassification of the balance of unvested
restricted stock as of September 30, 2006, in the amount of $3.1 million, as a credit to unearned compensation in stockholders equity and a corresponding reduction to retained earnings for the same amount in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as of September 30, 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies

In the ordinary course of business, we make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial
position in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and
conditions. We believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies. These policies require management to exercise judgments that are often difficult, subjective and complex due to the necessity of estimating the effect
of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize engineering fees from different types of services under a variety of different types of contracts. In recognizing engineering fees, we
evaluate each contractual arrangement to determine the applicable authoritative accounting methodology to apply to each contract.

In the
course of providing services, we principally use three types of contracts: Cost-plus contracts, Time and Materials contracts and Fixed Price contracts.

Cost-plus Contracts. We recognize engineering fees from cost-plus contracts at the time services are performed. The amount of revenue recognized is based on our actual labor costs incurred, plus non-labor costs and
the portion of the fixed negotiated fee earned to date. Included in non-labor costs are pass-through costs for client-reimbursable materials, equipment and subcontractor costs where we are responsible for engineering specifications, procurement, and
management of such cost components on behalf of our clients. These direct reimbursable expenses are principally passed through to our clients with minimal or no mark-up and are included in our engineering fees. Indirect expenses are recorded as
incurred and are allocated to contracts.

Time and Materials Contracts. We recognize engineering fees from Time and Materials contracts at
the time services are performed. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the actual number of hours we spend on the projects, multiplied by contractual rates or multipliers. In addition, our clients reimburse us for our actual out-of-pocket
costs of materials and other direct reimbursable expenses that we incur in connection with our performance under these contracts. The amount of NER on a time and materials contract fluctuates based on the proportion of the actual labor spent and
reimbursable costs that are incurred for each contract.

##### Table of Contents

Fixed Price Contracts. We recognize engineering fees from fixed price contracts based on the percentage
of completion method where fees are recognized based on the ratio of estimated costs incurred to total estimated contract costs. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, we record the entire amount of the estimated loss.

Change orders that result from modification of an original contract are taken into consideration for revenue recognition when they result in a change of
total contract value and are approved by our clients. Engineering fees relating to unapproved change orders are recognized when collected.

The Companys federal government contracts are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). These regulations are partially incorporated into many local and state agency contracts. The FAR limits the recovery of
certain specified indirect costs on contracts subject to such regulations. In accordance with industry practice, most of our federal government contracts are subject to termination at the discretion of the client. Contracts typically provide for
reimbursement of costs incurred and payment of fees earned through the termination date.

Contracts that fall under the FAR are subject to
audit by the government, primarily the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), which reviews our overhead rates, operating systems and costs proposals. As a result of its audits, the DCAA may disallow costs if it determines that we have
incorrectly or improperly accounted for such costs in a manner inconsistent with generally accepted government accounting standards.

Accrued Reimbursement Liability

The accrued reimbursement liability is an estimate related to the total impact of the
overstated overhead rates billed under certain government contracts, primarily as a result of an error with respect to general and administrative expenses and the misappropriations previously described. This liability represents estimates of
our future payment obligations associated with reimbursing clients for such overstated overhead rates. The estimate was developed through a detailed analysis, reimbursement settlements and discussions with various government client
representatives and is dependent on assumptions made by management, which include the impact of the misappropriations and other items on the overhead rates, the government clients subject to reimbursement, the percentage of contracts with these
identified government clients subject to reimbursement, the extent to which overhead rates used to bill these identified government contracts varied from the overhead rates, the profit earned on these identified government contracts and the assumed
interest rate on the reimbursement amounts. A significant change in one or more of these assumptions could potentially have a material effect on the financial statements. Although false claims actions by certain state government agencies are
possible under various State False Claims Acts (State FCA), we currently believe these actions are unlikely and have not accrued a liability for these actions. The State FCA allow for state and certain local government entities to
recover damages from the presentation of certain false or fraudulent claims by entities in which they contract with. If false claims actions are initiated in the future by one or more of these state governmental agencies, such actions could have a
material effect on our financial statements.

We have entered into reimbursement settlement agreements with the Florida Department of
Transportation and the Texas Department of Transportation, our two largest clients, for $12.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively for all contract amounts through September 30, 2006. Such amounts were paid in fiscal year 2006 and 2007. In
addition, we have reached a reimbursement settlement agreement with the Department of Justice on behalf of all of our federal clients for $6.5 million for all contract amounts through September 30, 2006.

We are in discussions with several of our other government clients, which are in various stages of settlement. As of September 30, 2007, we had
settled $29.1 million of the liability with clients, which represent approximately 77.1% of the estimated total refund amount. Additionally, based on settlements to date and new information, the Company has changed its estimate of the accrued
reimbursement liability and has recorded a reduction in the liability with a corresponding increase in engineering fees in the amount of $4.5 million during fiscal year 2007.

Deferred Compensation

Estimated liabilities related to defined benefit pension and postretirement programs are included in deferred compensation. These liabilities represent
actuarially determined estimates of our future obligations associated with providing these benefit programs to some of our employees. The actuarial studies and estimates are dependent on assumptions made by management, which include discount rates,
life expectancy of participants and rates of increase in compensation levels. These assumptions are determined based on the current economic environment at year-end.

Income Taxes

In determining net income for financial statement purposes, we must make estimates and
judgments in the calculation of tax assets and liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the tax return and the financial statement
recognition of revenues and expenses.

For the past several years, we have generated research and development tax credits related to
certain qualifying costs. The qualifying costs relate primarily to our project costs which management believes involved technical uncertainty. These research and development costs were incurred by us in the course of providing services generally
under long-term client projects. Because we have been unable to utilize the entire amount of research and development tax credits we have generated each year, the balance sheets reflect a deferred tax asset of approximately $203,000 and $5.7 million
at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for the unused research and development tax credit carry forwards. The credits will expire beginning 2017 through 2022.

Our effective tax rate is based on income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective
tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions. We established reserves when, despite our belief that the tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe that certain positions, if challenged, will likely be resolved unfavorably to us. These
reserves are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit or current developments in tax law. Our annual tax rate includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves. While it is often
difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular matter, we believe that its reserves reflect the probable outcome of known tax contingencies. Resolution of the tax contingencies would be recognized as an increase
or decrease to our tax rate in the period of resolution. During the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Federal statute of limitations expired on returns for years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. We are no longer subject to U.S.
Federal examination for these years. As a result, we reduced our tax contingency accrual by $3.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. In addition, for the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company increased its tax contingency accrual by $1.7
million. The net changes in the tax contingency accrual reduced the Companys effective tax rate by 5.3% and 11.9% for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We have recorded a tax contingency accrual of $11.0 million and
$12.5 million as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to research and development tax credits taken on our tax return. The tax contingency accruals are presented in the consolidated balance sheets within accounts payable and
accrued expenses.

Contingencies

Management estimates are inherent in the assessment of our exposure to litigation and other legal claims and contingencies. Significant management judgment is utilized in determining probable and or reasonably
estimable amounts to be recorded or disclosed in our financial statements (see Accrued Reimbursement Liability above). The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements of the period in which the
changes are determined.

We are obligated under various non-cancelable leases for office facilities, furniture and equipment. Certain
leases contain renewal options, escalation clauses and certain other operating expenses of the properties. In the normal course of business, leases that expire are expected to be renewed or replaced by leases for other properties.

In fiscal year 2007, we entered into a three year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft Licensing, GP covering all of our Microsoft based
application licenses. At September 30, 2007, we had outstanding under this agreement the remaining payments of $2.5 million, all of which are included in contractual purchase obligations above.

In February 2006, we entered into a one year Oracle License and Services Agreement with Oracle relating to the implementation of our new Oracle
enterprise resource planning system. At September 30, 2007, we have outstanding under this agreement a purchase commitment of approximately $470,000, all of which is included in contractual purchase obligations above.

|ITEM 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We are subject to interest rate risk through outstanding balances on our variable rate debt. We may mitigate this risk by paying down additional outstanding balances on our variable rate loans, refinancing with fixed
rate permanent debt or obtaining cash flow hedges. We do not hold market-risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. We do not hold financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments to hedge any market risk, nor do we currently plan to
employ them in the near future.

The interest rate on the mortgage note was 6.19% and 5.98% at September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Our adjustable rate mortgage calls for an interest rate based on the 30 day LIBOR plus a margin of .065%. We estimate that a one-percentage increase in our adjustable mortgage rate for debt outstanding of $6.9 million as of
September 30, 2007 would have resulted in additional annualized interest costs of approximately $70,000. This computation did not take into consideration the scheduled monthly payments due under the mortgage note.

The interest rate (5.85% and 5.82% at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively) on our revolving line of credit ranges from LIBOR plus 50 basis
points or prime minus 125 basis points if our funded debt coverage ratio is less than 2.5. The range increases to LIBOR plus 75 basis points or prime minus 100 basis points if our funded debt coverage ratio is between 2.5 to 3.0. We mitigate
interest rate risk by continually monitoring interest rates and electing the lower of the LIBOR or prime rate option available under the line of credit.

As of September 30, 2007, the fair value of our debt approximates the outstanding principal balance due to the variable rate nature of such instruments.

The interest rates under our revolving line of credit and mortgage note are variable and accordingly we have exposure to market risk. To the extent that
we have borrowings outstanding, there is market risk relating to the amount of such borrowings. At September 30, 2007 and November 30, 2007 we had no outstanding borrowings under our line of credit.

The sensitivity analysis, described above, contains certain simplifying assumptions (for example, it does not consider the impact of changes in
prepayment risk or credit spread risk). Therefore, although it gives an indication of our exposure to changes in interest rates, it is not intended to predict future results and our results will likely vary.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of The PBSJ
Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The PBSJ Corporation and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders equity and comprehensive income, and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The PBSJ Corporation and
subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

THE PBSJ CORPORATION

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements



|1. | Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------

Organization and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of The PBSJ Corporation and its subsidiaries, Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc., a Florida corporation (PBS&J), PBS&J Construction Services, Inc., PBS&J Constructors, Inc., Post, Buckley International,
Inc., Post Buckley de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., PBS&J Caribe Engineering, C.S.P., Seminole Development Corporation and Seminole Development II, Inc. (collectively, the Company). All material inter-company transactions and accounts have
been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In these notes to our consolidated financial statements, the words Company, we, our and us refer to The PBSJ Corporation and
its subsidiaries.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates in these consolidated
financial statements include estimated cost to complete long-term fixed price contracts, allowance for doubtful accounts and unbilled fees, accruals for litigation, estimated liabilities for self-insurance, accrued reimbursement liability, valuation
allowance on deferred income tax assets and tax contingencies, estimates of useful lives of intangible assets and the allocation of purchase price paid for acquired companies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain
segment information items in prior-period financial statements to conform to the fiscal year 2007 reorganization of the Companys reportable segments. For additional information, see Note 14, Segment Reporting. These
reclassifications had no effect on the Companys consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of stockholders equity and comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the
prior periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes engineering fees from different types of services under a variety of different types of contracts. In recognizing engineering fees, the Company evaluates each contractual arrangement to determine the applicable
authoritative accounting methodology to apply to each contract. Net earned revenue represents engineering fees less direct reimbursable expenses.

In the course of providing its services, the Company principally has three types of contracts from which it earns revenue: cost-plus contracts, time and materials contracts and fixed price contracts.

Cost-plus Contracts. Under Cost-plus contracts, the Company charges clients negotiated indirect rates based on direct and indirect costs in addition to a
profit component. The Company generally recognizes engineering fees at the time services are performed. The amount of revenue is based on its actual labor costs incurred plus a recovery of indirect costs and a profit component. In negotiating
cost-plus contracts, the Company estimates direct labor costs and indirect costs and then adds a profit component, which is a percentage of total recoverable costs, to arrive at a total dollar value for the contract. Indirect expenses are recorded
as incurred and are allocated to contracts. If the actual labor costs incurred are less than estimated, the revenues from a project will be less than

estimated. If the actual labor costs incurred plus a recovery of indirect costs and profit exceed the initial negotiated total contract amount, the Company
must obtain a contract modification to receive payment for such overage. If a contract modification or change order is not approved by our client, the Company may be able to pursue a claim to receive payment. Engineering fees from claims are
recognized when collected.

Time and Materials Contracts. The Company recognizes engineering fees for Time and Materials contracts at the
time services are performed. The amount of revenue is based on the actual number of hours it spends on the projects, multiplied by contractual rates or multipliers. In addition, the Companys clients reimburse it for its actual out-of-pocket
costs of materials and other direct reimbursable expenses that it incurs in connection with its performance under these contracts.

Fixed
Price Contracts. For Fixed Price Contracts, the Company recognizes engineering fees based on the percentage-of-completion method whereby fees are recognized based on the ratio of actual cost of work performed to date to the current total estimated
contract costs (generally using the cost-to-cost method). In making such estimates, judgments are required to determine potential delays or changes in schedules, the costs of materials and labor, liability claims, contract disputes, or achievement
of specified performance goals. At the time a loss on a contract becomes evident and estimable, the Company records the entire amount of the estimated loss.

Change orders that result from modification of an original contract are taken into consideration for revenue recognition when it results in a change of total contract value and is approved by our clients. Engineering
fees relating to unapproved change orders are recognized when collected.

The Companys federal government contracts are subject to
the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). These regulations are partially incorporated into many local and state agency contracts. The FAR limits the recovery of certain specified indirect costs on contracts subject to such regulations.
In accordance with industry practice, most of the Companys federal government contracts are subject to termination at the discretion of the client. Contracts typically provide for reimbursement of costs incurred and payment of fees earned
through the termination date.

Contracts that fall under FAR are generally cost-plus contracts, and are subject to audit by the government,
primarily the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), which reviews the Companys overhead rates, operating systems and costs proposals. As a result of its audits, the DCAA may disallow costs if it determines that the Company has
accounted for such costs in a manner inconsistent with generally accepted cost accounting standards.

Direct Reimbursable Expenses

Direct reimbursable expenses are primarily comprised of subcontractor costs and other direct non-payroll reimbursable charges including travel and travel
related costs, blueprints, and equipment where the Company is responsible for procurement and management of such cost components on behalf of the Companys clients. These direct reimbursable expenses are principally passed through to our
clients with minimal or no mark-up.

Capital Structure

The by-laws of the Company require that common stock held by employee shareholders who terminate employment with the Company be offered for sale at fair market value to the Company, which has right of first refusal.
Should the Company decline to purchase the shares, the shares must next be offered to the Companys profit sharing and employee stock ownership plans at fair market value, and then ultimately to shareholders who are employees of the Company.
The by-laws of the Company provide that the fair market value be determined by an appraisal. Other than agreements with certain retired Directors, as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, there is no outstanding common stock held by individuals no
longer employed by the Company.

During fiscal year 2006, the Company repurchased stock held by employee shareholders who terminated
employment with the Company at a price ranging from $24.00 to $27.00, pending completion of the September 30, 2005 valuation. In January 2007, the September 30, 2005 valuation was finalized and established the price per share at $28.00. As
a result of the September 30, 2005 valuation, accruals totaling $2.1 million were recorded as of September 30, 2006, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets to account for the
stock price differentials.

During fiscal year 2007, the Company repurchased stock held by employee shareholders who terminated employment
with the Company at a per share price ranging from $22.40 to $28.00 pending completion of the September 30, 2006 valuation. In May 2007, the September 30, 2006 valuation was finalized and established the price per share at $24.34. At
September 30, 2007, the Company adjusted its accrual for the stock price differentials to account for the September 30, 2006 valuation by decreasing the adjusted accrual balance to approximately $579,000 at September 30, 2007, which
is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

On November 3, 2007, at a
special shareholders meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved certain amendments to our Articles of Incorporation. The shareholders approved to reclassify the total existing authorized shares of common stock as Class A Common Stock, to
create a new class of non-voting common stock with 5,000,000 authorized shares entitled Class B Common Stock and to authorize the issuance of up 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with designations, preferences, right and limitations as adopted
by the Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the terms of our credit agreement, we cannot declare or pay dividends in excess of 50% of our net
income. We have not previously paid cash dividends on our common stock and have no present intention of paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. All earnings are retained for investment in our business.

Stock Based Compensation

Restricted stock awards are
recorded at fair value on the date of issuance using the modified prospective method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123(R)), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The restricted stock
awards are amortized over the vesting period and are included as compensation expense in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Other Employee Stock Sales and Purchases

The stock offering window usually takes place on an annual
basis during the second fiscal quarter. The stock window also allows existing shareholders to offer shares of common stock for sale to the Company. Under the corporate by-laws, the Company has the first right of refusal to purchase these
shares. If the Company declines to purchase the offered shares, they are offered to the Employee Profit Sharing and Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (ESOP) and then to all shareholders who are employees.

The Company suspended the stock offering window for March 2006 until the final impact of the restatement of the Companys 2005 and prior
consolidated financial statements was determined and all SEC filing regulations were met such as, the filing of quarterly and annual reports.

In fiscal year 2007, the Company cancelled the stock window for March 2007 because the Company was not current in filing its quarterly reports for fiscal 2007 with the SEC. Instead the Company authorized an internal market window
(internal window) for employee shareholders to purchase and sell shares of the Company. The Company facilitated this internal window by matching employee shareholders who wished to purchase and sell

shares at the September 30, 2006 valuation price of $24.34. The Company had the option, but not the obligation, to purchase any unmatched sell shares
that employee shareholders wished to sell and which did not have a matching employee shareholder purchaser. The internal window started on July 2, 2007 and ended on July 27, 2007. Eligible buyers were employees and directors of the Company
and the Companys ESOP. At the end of the internal window, there were unmatched sell shares. The Company did not exercise its right to purchase the unmatched sell shares. The unmatched sell shares were next offered to the Companys ESOP,
which agreed to purchase all of the unmatched sell shares.

As a result of the internal window, the Company loaned funds for those shares
that were matched, to those employee shareholders who wished to sell their shares for the full amount due. Employee shareholders that wished to purchase matched shares were required to execute promissory notes (notes) and pledge share
agreements as collateral for the notes. The notes are interest free and are due on December 28, 2007. At September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance of the notes was $1.9 million. Since September 30, 2007, the Company has collected
approximately $300,000 of the outstanding balance, which is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2007. The remaining balance of $1.6 million is included as a reduction of
stockholders equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders equity as of and for the year ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

The Company expects to open its fiscal year 2008 stock window in the second fiscal quarter.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist
of all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from their dates of purchase.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting carrying values of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences
are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that any of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

Basic net income per share has been computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur assuming the inclusion of dilutive potential common shares and has been computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares include all outstanding restricted stock awards using the treasury stock method.

A reconciliation of the number of shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share follows:

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.8 million at both September 30, 2007 and 2006. The Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based on managements
evaluation of the contracts involved and the financial condition of its clients. The Company regularly evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts by taking into consideration such factors as the type of clientgovernmental
agencies or private sector, trends in actual and forecasted credit quality of the client, including delinquency and payment history, general economic and particular industry conditions that may affect a clients ability to pay, and contract
performance and the change order and claim analysis. Retainer amounts were not significant as of September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Unbilled Fees and
Billings in Excess of Cost

Unbilled fees represent the excess of contract revenue recognized over billings to date on contracts in
process. These amounts become billable according to the contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones or completion of the project. Management expects that substantially all unbilled amounts will be
billed and collected within one year.

Billings in excess of cost represent the excess of billings to date, per the contract terms, over
revenue recognized on contracts in process.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Companys cash equivalents, accounts receivables, unbilled fees and trade accounts payable approximates book value due to the
short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Companys cash surrender value of life insurance plans are based on quoted market values or cash surrender value at the reporting date. The fair value of the Companys
debt approximates the carrying value, as such instruments are based on variable rates of interest.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses
acquired and accounted for under the purchase method. The Company accounts for its goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires the Company to test for goodwill impairment
annually (or more frequently under certain conditions). The Company performed its annual impairment test as of September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

We amortize the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If assets are determined to be impaired, they are written down to their estimated fair value. No
impairment was recorded during the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006, or 2005.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and depreciation. Certain equipment held under capital leases are classified as
furniture and equipment and the related obligations are recorded as capital lease obligations. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Capital leases are amortized under the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the duration of the lease agreement. Leasehold improvements are



67

##### Table of Contents

amortized over the shorter of the term of the leases or their estimated useful lives. Depreciation and amortization expenses are included in general and
administrative expenses (G&A) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Cost and accumulated depreciation
of property and equipment retired or sold are eliminated from the accounts at the time of retirement or sale and the resulting gain or loss is included in G&A in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS
No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If assets are determined to be impaired, they are written down to
estimated fair value. No impairment was recorded during the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006, or 2005.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash, accounts
receivable and unbilled fees. The Company deposits its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

Work performed for governmental entities accounted for approximately 75%, 75%, and 77%, of engineering fees for the years ended September 30, 2007,
2006, and 2005, respectively. Accounts receivable and unbilled fees from governmental entities were $58.3 million and $46.1 million, respectively at September 30, 2007, and $57.5 million and $34.9 million, respectively, at September 30,
2006. For the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, engineering fees of $90.5 million, $93.1 million, and $101.3 million, respectively, were derived from various districts of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
under numerous contracts. These revenues are primarily in the Transportation segment. While the loss of any individual contract would not have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations and would not adversely impact the
Companys ability to continue work under other contracts with the FDOT, the loss of all, or a significant number of the FDOT contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.

Ongoing credit evaluations of customers are performed and generally no collateral is required. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts
based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities

In March 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to convert the floating interest rate on the mortgage note
payable to a fixed rate of 6.28%. On March 16, 2006, the swap expired. The Company accounted for the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and
Hedging Activities. The underlying terms of the interest rate swap, including the notional amount and interest rate index, were identical to those of the associated debt and therefore the hedging relationship resulted in no
ineffectiveness. Changes in fair value were included as a component of other comprehensive loss in stockholders equity in our consolidated balance sheets. The net amounts paid or received were included in interest expense. We do not anticipate
entering into any additional swap agreements.

Estimated Liability for Self-Insurance

The Company is self-insured up to certain limits for costs associated with general liability, workers compensation and employee health coverage. The
Company also maintains a stop loss insurance policy with a

##### Table of Contents

third party insurer to limit the Companys exposure to individual and aggregate claims made. Insurance claims and reserves include accruals of estimated
settlements for known claims, as well as accruals of estimates of incurred but not reported claims, net of payments made. At September 30, 2007 and 2006, we had total self-insurance accruals reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses in
our consolidated balance sheets of $6.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively. These estimates are subject to variability due to changes in trends of losses for outstanding claims and incurred but not recorded claims, including external factors
such as future inflation rates, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting shareholders investment and minimum pension liability that, under
generally accepted accounting principles, are excluded from net income.

The components of other comprehensive income for the years ended
September 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005 are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On February 15, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159 (SFAS 159), The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a
contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS 159 further establishes certain additional disclosure requirements. SFAS 159 is effective
for the Companys fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact and timing of the adoption of SFAS 159.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158 (SFAS 158), Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans. This standard requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an



69

##### Table of Contents

asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through
comprehensive income. The Company was required to adopt the recognition and related disclosure provisions of SFAS 158 beginning with its fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax
charge to accumulated other comprehensive income totaling $392,000 ($233,000 after tax). For additional information, see Note 8, Retirement Plans. The Company is also required to adopt the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2009. This provision requires companies to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the Companys fiscal year-end. No change in measurement dates was necessary since the Company already
meets this requirement.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value
Measurements. SFAS 157 prescribes a single definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
provisions of SFAS 157 were to be effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009. In November 2007, the FASB reaffirmed the originally scheduled implementation date in accounting for financial assets and liabilities of
financial institutions and provided a one year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for other nonfinancial assets and liabilities. As a result, SFAS 157 is expected to be effective for the Company on October 1, 2010. The Company does not
believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 requires
companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the
effect of initial adoption is material, companies will record the effect as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning of year retained earnings. SAB 108 was effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. We adopted
SAB 108 in our first quarter of fiscal 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB No. 109 (FIN 48). This interpretation establishes
guidelines and thresholds that must be met for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In November 2007, the FASB decided to defer the effective date of FIN 48, for nonpublic entities until
years beginning after December 15, 2007 and accordingly FIN 48 is expected to be effective for the Company on October 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, (FSP 115-1 and 124-1) which address the determination as to when an investment is impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the
measurement of an impairment loss. FSP 115-1 and 124-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been
recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in FSP 115-1 and 124-1 amends FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. FSP 115-1 and 124-1 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FSP
115-1 and 124-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154
(SFAS 154),Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154), which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3 Reporting

Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively
with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for prospectively as a change in
estimate, and correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a restatement. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in the first annual reporting period beginning after
December 15, 2005. We early adopted SFAS 154 in fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, and have reported and disclosed the correction of errors in our previously reported consolidated financial statements in accordance with SFAS 154. The
other reporting and disclosure requirements of SFAS 154 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R)
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on
their fair values, beginning with the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. We have adopted SFAS 123(R) in our first quarter of fiscal year 2007, beginning October 1, 2006. The adoption of
SFAS 123(R) resulted in the reclassification of the balance of unvested restricted stock as of September 30, 2006, in the amount of $3.1 million, as a credit to unearned compensation in stockholders equity and a corresponding reduction to
additional paid-in capital for the same amount in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders equity for the year ended September 30, 2007.



|2. | Misappropriations Loss
|-- | ----------------------

In
March 2005, subsequent to the issuance of the Companys 2004 financial statements, we discovered misappropriations of Company funds by our former Chief Financial Officer and two former employees who worked in our information systems and
treasury departments, (collectively, the participants). The participants colluded and circumvented controls to misappropriate funds and conceal the misappropriations possibly beginning as early as 1993 until the misappropriations were
discovered in March 2005.

Shortly after this discovery, an investigation sub-committee was formed comprised of the three outside members
of our Corporate Audit Committee. These three outside members were subsequently appointed to the Board of Directors and became the three members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee retained independent counsel to
conduct an investigation and advise the Audit Committee in connection with the investigation. The independent counsel retained forensic accountants, including accountants experienced in conducting forensic audits for companies that perform contracts
for federal, state and local governments to assist with the investigation.

The investigation team discovered that at least $36.6 million
was misappropriated between January 1, 1998 and the discovery of the misappropriations in March 2005. We have not discovered and do not expect to discover any additional misappropriations and, therefore, we have not recorded any
misappropriation losses for fiscal years 2007 and 2006. Any amounts misappropriated prior to January 1, 1998 could not be determined because certain data for the period prior to January 1, 1998 was unavailable.

Overstatement of Amounts Billed for Overhead

The
Company determined that the misappropriation scheme led to the overstatement of overhead rates that the Company used to determine billings in connection with certain of our government contracts. As a result, some of our government clients were
overcharged for the Companys services. During the review of the overhead expenses, the Company identified certain instances of costs erroneously included in our overhead cost pool which were unallowable under applicable regulations and an
error in our calculation of our overhead rate, which

related to certain general and administrative costs. The Company determined that the unallowable costs and general and administrative expense errors also led
to the overstatement of overhead rates which the Company used in connection with certain of its government contracts. As a result, in these instances, some of our billings to our government clients relied on or incorporated the overstated overhead
rates.

The Company determined corrected overhead rates considering the impact of the misappropriations and considering the impact of
additional errors identified. The Company and its advisors have been working with its government clients to finalize the refund amount (See Note 12 for further discussion). The Company estimates that the cumulative refund amount, before any
payments, resulting from the overstated overhead rates was $41.9 million through fiscal year 2006, including interest that the Company is required to reimburse its government clients. Based on settlements to date and new information, the Company has
changed its estimate of the accrued reimbursement liability and has recorded a reduction in the liability with a corresponding increase in engineering fees in the amount of $4.5 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. At
September 30, 2007 and 2006, the accrued reimbursement liability was $8.4 million and $28.2 million, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The following table shows the activity in the accrued reimbursement liability
during the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006:

Insurance Proceeds and Gain/Loss on Recoveries

Approximately 19,000 and 174,000 shares of the Companys common stock were surrendered in fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively. These shares were
recorded at their estimated fair values, and gains on recovery of misappropriated assets of approximately $537,000 and $4.7 million, respectively, were recognized for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The gains from
these recovered assets were included in gain on recoveries, net of misappropriation loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. These shares were not included in assets held
for sale, as the estimated fair value of such shares was recorded as a reduction of stockholders equity.

The Company carries
insurance to cover fiduciary and crime liability. The policy is renewed on an annual basis and was in effect for the periods in which the participants misappropriated funds of the Company. The stated aggregate limits for the annual
policies from March 1992 through April 2005 are $22.0 million. The Company filed a claim under the annual policy for the period ending in April 2005 (the 2005 Policy), to recover some of the misappropriation losses which resulted
from the embezzlement. In January 2007, we received $2.0 million, the stated limit under the 2005 Policy. The insurance proceeds were recognized in insurance proceeds and gain on recoveries, net of misappropriation loss in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2007. In August 2007, the Company filed suit seeking a declaration that the insurance carrier is obligated to the Company for losses suffered as a result of the
embezzlement for policy years 1991 through 2004. The amount of recovery sought for those policy years is $17 million. At the present time, the Company is unable to predict the likely outcome of this legal action and, accordingly, has not recorded
any insurance receivable.

Gain from recovered assets has been recognized at the estimated fair value of the assets recovered, less related
debt and estimated costs to sell the assets, and it is included in gain on recoveries, net of misappropriation loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005.

In addition to the misappropriation loss, the Company has incurred certain professional fees and other
costs that relate to the investigation of the embezzlement and the recovery of assets. These expenses include legal fees, forensic audit fees and related costs, and other costs associated with the recovery of misappropriated assets. Collectively,
these costs are stated as investigation and related costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and are recorded in the period the costs are incurred.

The following table sets forth the components of the misappropriation loss for the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005 and related investigation expenses:

|3. | Assets Held for Sale
|-- | --------------------

During
the course of the investigation into the misappropriations (See Note 2 for further discussion), the Company identified and recovered certain assets acquired by the participants using misappropriated Company funds. Assets recovered during the
investigation and not yet liquidated, were originally classified as assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are recorded at estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. The recovered assets consisted of
personal homes, condominiums and other real estate, automobiles, funds from bank accounts, jewelry, fine-arts and cash proceeds from the liquidation of personal retirement accounts. Some of the real estate recovered was acquired subject to existing
debt, liens or mortgage notes. At September 30, 2007, there was no outstanding debt on any of the assets recovered. The balance of such existing debt at September 30, 2006 was $2.1 million and was reported as liabilities of assets held for
sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

During fiscal year 2007, the Company sold a real estate asset for $3.7 million which
was subject to a mortgage of $2.1 million. The Company recognized an additional $98,000 in losses, primarily due to additional unanticipated closing costs related to the sale and interest payments on the debt.

At September 30, 2007, the remaining assets held for sale, consisting of a condominium and jewelry, with a carrying value of approximately $468,000
have been included in other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as such assets did not meet the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. The Company intends to sell the remaining assets as soon as practicable.

During fiscal year 2006, the Company recovered additional assets from the investigation with a total estimated fair value of $1.4 million,
excluding the gains on shares recovered, which was not subject to debt, liens or mortgage notes.

##### Table of Contents

During fiscal year of 2006, the Company sold assets for a total of $10.5 million which were subject to
related liabilities of $4.6 million. The Company did not recognize any additional gains or losses related to the sales of these assets since they were recorded at their fair value less estimated costs to sell.

Assets and liabilities related to assets held for sale consisted of the following:

On August 31, 2007 the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Doral, Florida office
building, including building improvements, (the Doral Property) for $22.1 million in cash. The closing on the sale occurred on September 14, 2007. The gain on the sale of the Doral Property, net of $680,000 closing costs, was $16.2
million, of which $13.4 million was deferred. Simultaneous with the closing, the Company entered into a 10 year triple net lease agreement, with an option to renew the lease for additional five years. Under the lease agreement, the base annual rent
is $1.7 million and will escalate at the rate of 2% per year. The Company is responsible for all operating expenses, taxes, general liability insurance, repairs and maintenance and other costs of operating the premises. This lease has been
accounted as an operating lease under the provisions of SFAS No.13, Accounting for Leases.

The Company has accounted
for this transaction involving the Doral Property as a sale-leaseback transaction in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 98, Accounting for Leases: Sale-Leaseback Transaction Involving Real Estate and SFAS
No.28,Accounting for sales with Leasebacksan amendment of FASB Statement No. 13. As a result, the Company recognized in fiscal year 2007, $2.8 million of the total gain on the sale of the Doral Property, representing
the excess of the total gain over the present value of the minimum lease payment under the sale-leaseback. The amount of gain recognized is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. The remaining gain, $13.4 million, has been deferred and will be amortized over the non-cancelable term of the lease in proportion to the related gross rental charges, including the straight lining of
the stipulated rent increases.

shares of the Companys common stock valued at approximately $300,000. The value of the common stock was based on the estimated fair value of the stock as of the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the respective
assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price resulted in assets of $1.2 million, including approximately $40,000 of intangible assets and $454,000 of goodwill, none of
which is deductible for tax purposes, and liabilities of $330,000. The weighted average amortization period for the identifiable intangible assets is 2.0 years. Croslin specializes in architectural services.

On February 1, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Land and Water Consulting, Inc. (LWC) for a purchase price of $1.3
million, net of cash acquired of $13,000, comprised of $323,000 in cash, $100,000 cash held in escrow and 33,862 shares of the Companys common stock valued at approximately $914,000. The value of the common stock was based on the estimated
fair value of the stock as of the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price resulted in
assets of $2.5 million, including approximately $63,000 of intangible assets and $1.1 million of goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes, and liabilities of $1.2 million. The weighted average amortization period for the identifiable
intangible assets is 2.4 years. LWC is an environmental consulting firm in Montana.

On April 30, 2006, we acquired 100% of the stock
of EIP Associates (EIP) for $6.0 million, net of cash acquired of $15,000, comprised of $5.5 million in cash, $334,000 accrued additional purchase price and $200,000 held in escrow. The purchase price was allocated to the respective
assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price resulted in assets of $9.0 million, including $1.5 million of intangible assets and $3.7 million of goodwill, none of which
is deductible for tax purposes, and liabilities of $3.9 million. The weighted average amortization period for the identifiable intangible assets is 2.8 years. EIP specializes in environmental, urban planning, water resource planning and natural
resources in California. The EIP acquisition greatly enhances our technical strength in the California environmental, water and planning markets and enhances our general presence in California.

The primary factor that contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of goodwill in our acquisitions is the intellectual capital of
the skilled professionals and senior technical personnel associated with the acquired entities which does not meet the criteria for recognition as an asset apart from goodwill. The results of operations of the above acquisitions are included from
the date of each acquisition. The pro forma impact of these acquisitions is not material to reported historical operations.

SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires a valuation allowance
to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its
deferred tax assets of approximately $162,000 and $4.2 million, respectively.

For the past several years, the Company has generated
research and development tax credits related to certain qualifying costs. The qualifying costs relate primarily to the Companys project costs which management believes involved technical uncertainty. These research and development costs were
incurred by the Company in the course of providing services generally under long-term client projects. Because the Company has been unable to utilize the entire amount of research and development tax credits it has generated each year, the
consolidated balance sheets reflect a deferred tax asset of approximately $203,000 and $5.7 million as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, primarily for unused research and development tax credit carry forwards. The credits will
expire beginning 2017 through 2022.

The Companys effective tax rate is based on income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning
opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating the Companys tax positions. The Company established reserves when,
despite its belief that the tax return positions are fully supportable, it believes that certain positions, if challenged, will likely be resolved unfavorably to us. These reserves are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as
the progress of a tax audit or current developments in tax law. The Companys annual tax rate includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of
resolution of any particular matter, the Company believes that its reserves reflect the probable outcome of known tax contingencies. Resolution of the tax contingencies would be recognized as an increase or decrease to the Companys tax rate in
the period of resolution. During the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Federal statute of limitations expired on returns for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal
examination for these years. As a result, the Company reduced its tax contingency accrual by $3.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. In addition, for the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company increased its tax contingency accrual by $1.7
million. The net changes in the tax contingency accrual reduced the Companys effective tax rate by 5.3% and 11.9% for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company has recorded a tax contingency accrual of $11.0
million and $12.5 million as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to research and development tax credits taken on the Companys tax return. The tax contingency accruals are presented in the consolidated balance sheets
within accounts payable and accrued expenses.

A reconciliation of the income tax provision to taxes computed at the U.S. federal statutory
rate is as follows:

|8. | Retirement Plans
|-- | ----------------

The Company
maintains a two tiered noncontributory, unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit pension plan.

The Key Employee Supplemental Option Plan
(KESOP) is a two tiered plan that provides key officers and employees postretirement benefits. Tier one of the KESOP, known as the Key Employee Retention Program (KERP), provides an annual restricted stock award equal to five
percent of the participants annual gross salary for a period of up to ten years (see Note 10). Benefits under the KERP vest at age 56 and after ten years of continuous service with the Company. Tier two of the KESOP, known as the Supplemental
Income Program (SIP), is an unfunded plan that provides participants with retirement income for a specified period of between 5 and 15 years upon retirement, death, or disability. The plan fixes a minimum level for retirement benefits to
be paid to participants based on the participants position at the Company and their age and service at retirement. Certain key employee agreements include an annual retainer for consulting services for a period of up to five years.
Additionally, certain executive agreements have been amended to provide postretirement medical benefits, where the Company will pay and provide major medical and hospitalization insurance benefits to those employees and their spouses, at a level
substantially similar to those medical and hospitalization insurance benefits paid and provided to senior executives currently employed by the Company. The insurance benefits will be provided without any further or additional services from the
employee to the Company and these medical benefits will be paid for and provided for as long as the employee and spouse shall live.

On
July 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS 158 which requires the recognition of a plans over-funded or under-funded status as an asset or liability with an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).
SFAS 158 requires the determination of the fair values of a plans assets at a companys year-end and recognition of actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations as a component of AOCI.
These amounts were previously netted against the plans funded status in the Companys consolidated balance sheet pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 87 (SFAS 87), Employers Accounting for
Pensions. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs. Further, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods that are not initially recognized as a component of net periodic
benefit cost will be recognized as a component of AOCI. Those amounts will subsequently be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost as they are amortized during future periods.

The impact of adopting the provisions of SFAS 158 on the Companys consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2007 is presented in the
following table. The adoption of SFAS 158 had no effect on the Companys consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, or for any other years presented.

The discount rate is used to calculate the PBO. The rate used reflects a rate of return on high-quality
fixed income investments that matches the duration of expected benefit payments. The Company has typically used the Moodys Aa Corporate Bond rate as of September 30th of each year as a benchmark for this assumption.

The Company uses a September 30 measurement date for its plans. The following table provides a summary of the Companys periodic costs related
to its defined benefit retirement plan:

In 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Company recognized amortization associated with the net cumulative
unrecognized losses of the pension plan. The loss is amortized over the average remaining service period for active plan participants and is subject to the applicable corridor that is based on 10% of the PBO.

|9. | Employee Benefit Plan and Special Programs
|-- | ------------------------------------------

The Company maintains The PBSJ Employee Profit Sharing and Stock Ownership Plan and Trust, which is a qualified contributory 401(k) plan, a profit-sharing plan and an unleveraged employee stock ownership plan
(ESOP), collectively the Plans. The Plans qualify as a deferred salary arrangement under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the 401(k) plan, participating employees may elect to defer a portion of
their pretax earnings, up to the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company offers a discretionary matching contribution of up to 100% of the employees first 3% pre-tax contribution. Employees are eligible to participate in
the 401(k) plan on the first date of hire. Participants in the 401(k) plan are at all times 100% vested in the employees contribution amounts. All matching contributions made by the Company generally vest ratably over five years of continued
service. Under the profit-sharing plan, the Company may make a discretionary contribution to eligible employees, which is included in the participants retirement account, and is allocated using a ratio of the individual participants
compensation for the year to the total compensation of all eligible participants for the year. All discretionary contributions may be made in the form of cash, stock or a combination of both.

The Companys matching contributions to the 401(k) plan were $4.5 million, $3.6 million and $4.0 million for the years ended September 30,
2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. The fiscal year 2007 401(k) matching contributions will be paid in fiscal year 2008. The fiscal year 2006 (401(k) matching contributions were paid in stock and the fiscal year 2005 401(k) contributions were paid
in cash. The Companys matching contributions are included in G&A in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the Company recorded an additional benefit expense of $2.7 million for the year ending
September 30, 2005, as discretionary contributions to the profit-sharing plan. There were no discretionary contributions to the profit sharing plan for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The Companys matching
contributions and additional benefit expense are included in G&A in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Companys accrued matching and discretionary contributions are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2007 and 2006.

The Company also maintains an additional incentive
plan (Incentive Plan) for select employees. On an annual basis, the Company makes a discretionary cash award to fund the Incentive Plan within the Companys limits of profitability and operating guidelines. Participation in the
Incentive Plan is re-confirmed on an annual basis for all participants. The related Incentive Plan expenses for the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005 of $8.6 million, $10.4 million, and $10.7 million, respectively, were included in
general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.



|10. | Restricted Stock
|--- | ----------------

Restricted
stock awards are offered throughout the year and are intended to provide long-term incentives to key employees. Awards of restricted stock are subject to transfer restrictions and risk of forfeiture until they are earned. Shares of restricted stock
become fully vested usually over a period of several years of continued employment and are subject to total forfeiture if the employee ceases to be employed prior to the restricted stock vesting date, except in certain limited circumstances
described in the individual restricted stock award agreement. During the restriction period, holders have the rights of shareholders, including the right to vote, but cannot transfer ownership of their shares.

Effective October 1, 2006, we have adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method. The
adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Restricted stock is recorded at fair value on the date of issuance. Pursuant to Company guidelines, the Company may
not issue restricted stock, if after issuing the shares, the total number of restricted shares outstanding would exceed ten percent of the total shares outstanding. The Company satisfies the issuance of restricted stock with newly issued shares.

The Company maintains the following restricted stock plans:

Retention

This program awards restricted shares to key employees in middle management or higher
positions for the purpose of providing long-term incentives. The awards are made on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of Senior Management. These awards are generally issued and become fully vested usually after five years of continuous service
with the Company.

Acquisitions

When the Company acquires a firm, restricted stock is awarded to retain key employees who are generally not the principal owners of the acquired firm. Shares become fully vested usually after three to five years of continuous service
with the Company.

KERP

The Key Employee Retention Program (KERP) provides an annual restricted stock award equal to five percent of the participants annual gross salary for a period of up to ten years. Benefits vest at age 56 and after ten years
of continuous service with the Company, or upon retirement, death or disability.

Other

The Company has one other plan under which no new grants have been awarded since fiscal year 1997. As of September 30, 2007, this plan had 124,925
shares outstanding with unrecognized compensation cost of $75,000 which will be recognized through 2017.

The following tables summarize
information about restricted shares:

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had a $58 million line of credit agreement, inclusive
of $10 million in letters of credit, with Bank of America, N.A. (the Bank). The expiration date on the line of credit was June 30, 2008. The letters of credit reduce the maximum amount available for borrowing. As of
September 30, 2007 and 2006, we had letters of credit outstanding totaling $1.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively, including $1.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively, to guarantee insurance payments. In addition, in the second quarter
of 2006, we issued a letter of credit which expired in November 2006 and was not renewed for $2.0 million to cover risk of insolvency for the FDOT. No amounts have been drawn on any of these letters of credit. As a result of the issuance of these
letters of credit, the maximum amount available for borrowing under the line of credit was $56.1 million and $52.6 million as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In September 2007, the Company used the proceeds from the sale-leaseback
of the Doral property to repay all amounts outstanding under our line of credit.

##### Table of Contents

The interest rate (5.85% and 5.82% at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively) ranges from LIBOR
plus 50 basis points or Prime minus 125 basis points if the Companys funded debt coverage ratio is less than 2.5. The range increases to LIBOR plus 75 basis points or Prime minus 100 basis points if the Companys funded debt coverage
ratio is between 2.5 to 3.0. The line of credit contains clauses requiring the maintenance of various covenants and financial ratios including minimum levels of net worth, a minimum coverage ratio of certain fixed charges and a minimum leverage
ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to funded debt. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the line of credit as of September 30, 2007. The line of credit is collateralized by
substantially all of the Companys assets

In November 2007, the Company negotiated an extension of the line of credit with the Bank
with a new expiration date of October 2011. As part of the extension agreement, substantially all the terms and conditions remained the same, except that the line of credit was increased to $60 million and the minimum levels of net worth requirement
was eliminated from the agreement.

On March 19, 2001, the Company entered into a mortgage note with an original principal amount of
$9.0 million due in monthly installments starting on April 16, 2001, with interest. Interest on the mortgage is LIBOR plus the floating rate margin of not less than 65 basis points and not greater than 90 basis points. A balloon payment is due
on the mortgage on March 16, 2011. The effective interest rate on the mortgage note was 6.19% and 5.98% at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our adjustable rate mortgage calls for an interest rate based on the 30 day LIBOR plus a
margin of .065%. The mortgage agreement contains clauses requiring the maintenance of various covenants and financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants and ratios as of September 30, 2007. The mortgage note is
collateralized by the office building located in Maitland, Florida.

In October 2007, the Company negotiated a modification to the mortgage
note thereby eliminating the minimum levels of net worth requirement from the mortgage note.

The Companys capital leases consisted
primarily of equipment. The interest rates used in computing the minimum lease payments range from 2.72% to 5.23%. The leases were capitalized using the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair market value of the
equipment at the inception of the lease.



|12. | Commitments and Contingencies
|--- | -----------------------------

The Company is obligated under various non-cancelable leases for office facilities, furniture, and equipment. Certain leases contain renewal options, escalation clauses and payment of certain other operating expenses of the properties. In
the normal course of business, leases that expire are expected to be renewed or replaced by leases for other properties. As of September 30, 2007, the future minimum annual lease commitments are as follows:

Total rent expense included in general and administrative expenses was $22.6 million, $20.0 million, and
$16.6 million for fiscal years ended 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

As of September 30, 2007, there were various legal
proceedings pending against the Company, where plaintiffs allege damages resulting from the Companys engineering services. The plaintiffs allegations of liability in those cases seek recovery for damages caused by the Company based on
various theories of negligence, contributory negligence or breach of contract. The Company accrues for contingencies when a loss is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. During the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company
settled three large cases which resulted in a reduction of the accrual of approximately $1.1 million, and the remaining decrease in the balance relates to other small cases. As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had accruals of $4.4
million and $5.9 million, respectively, for all potential and existing claims, lawsuits and pending proceedings that, in managements opinion, are probable and can be reasonably estimated.

In July 1998, we entered into an agreement with West Frisco Development Corporation (WFDC) to provide various services, among which was a
flood plain study to be used by WFDC, the City of Frisco and FEMA. In 2003, the City of Frisco retained the services of a third-party architecture and engineering firm in connection with the extension and widening of Teel Road which lies within the
greater drainage basin included in the Companys original flood plain study. This architecture and engineering firms assessment of the flood plain study determined that the Company used incorrect assumptions when calculating the size of
the drainage culverts required for the increased development of the areas transportation infrastructure. Based on this assessment, the Company has entered into negotiations with the City of Frisco to correct the drainage needs to support the
Teel Road expansion project. As a result, the Company had recorded an estimated liability of $3.1 million to cover the costs associated with correcting the drainage needs of the Teel Road expansion project. Included in this estimate is the purchase
of a parcel of land for $1.5 million, the remaining balance of $1.6 million is reflected in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2007.

The Company expects to pay these liabilities over the next one to three years. Management is of the opinion that the liabilities ultimately resulting
from such existing and other pending proceedings, lawsuits and claims should not materially affect the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company maintains a full range of insurance coverage, including workers compensation, general and professional liability (including pollution
liability) and property coverage. The Companys insurance policies may offset the amount of loss exposure from legal actions.

In July
2006, we entered into a settlement agreement with the State of Texas Department of Transportation which resolves all claims that the State of Texas may have had against us for overpayments related to the restatement of overhead rates on billings on
or before April 30, 2006 under contracts with that agency based on our payment of $5.4 million and provides for the determination of the appropriate overhead rate for billings after April 30, 2006. In November 2006, we entered into a
settlement agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation which resolves all claims that agency may have had against us for the overstatement of rates on billings through September 30, 2005 (and with respect to cost contracts through
September 30, 2006) under our contracts with them based on our payment of $12.5 million. This settlement agreement also provided for the determination of the appropriate overhead rate refund for fiscal year 2006 billings under fixed price
contracts. The refund amount was finalized in March 2007 and totaled $425,000.

In January 2007, we reached a settlement agreement with the
Department of Justice, Civil Division on behalf of it and all other federal agencies with which we have contracts to resolve all federal claims including claims under the Federal Civil False Claims Act, related to the overstatements of overhead
rates on our contracts with federal agencies. The agreement requires $6.5 million of reimbursement payments for all contract amounts through September 30, 2005, which was paid in January 2007.

The settlements described above, net of settlements paid in fiscal year 2007 and 2006 are included in the
accrued reimbursement liability in the Companys consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2007. We are in discussions with our remaining government clients to enter into settlement agreements in order to satisfy any refund
obligations, which are in various stages of settlement.

In the course of our investigation of the accounting irregularities and
misappropriations, it was determined that there were possible violations relating to past political contributions by us and certain of our employees. The United States Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Florida (Miami) and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation have conducted an investigation relating to improper campaign contributions including improper use of political action committees. We produced documents and other information to the government and fully cooperated
with the authorities. Criminal charges have been filed against two of the Companys former chairmen. At the present time, we believe it unlikely that criminal charges will be filed against us in this matter, but the authorities are not
precluded from bringing charges, and circumstances may change.

In October 2007, the Federal Election Commission advised the Company that
it was commencing an investigation into alleged violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, based on the improper campaign contributions including improper use of political action committees. At the present time we are
unable to predict the likely outcome of this investigation.

The United States Securities & Exchange Commission is also conducting
an investigation of the accounting irregularities and misappropriations of funds. We are fully cooperating with the investigation and have produced documents and other information to the commission. At the present time, we are unable to predict the
likely outcome of this investigation.

|14. | Segment Reporting
|--- | -----------------

In fiscal
year 2007, we restructured our internal organization to better leverage our technical capabilities in servicing the needs of our clients which resulted in a change in the composition of our reportable segments. Under the new structure, the Company
will continue to provide segment information on four reportable segments: Transportation Services, Construction Management, Civil Engineering, and Environmental Services; however, two types of services, Information Solutions (previously reported in
the Environmental Services segment) and Evacuation Planning (previously reported in the Transportation Services segment) were moved to the Civil Engineering segment. Accordingly, we have reclassified segment information for prior periods presented,
as applicable, to conform to the current reportable segment structure.

Activities in the Transportation Services business segment
generally involve planning, design, right of way acquisition, development and design of intelligent transportation services and program construction management services for multiple transportation modes, including interstate and primary highways,
toll roads, arterials, bridges, transit systems, airports and port facilities. The Program Management group of our Transportation segment provides many of its governmental clients the necessary resources to manage large infrastructure programs from
concept through construction. Services include planning, programming and contract support.

The Construction Management segment provides a
wide range of services as an agent for the Companys clients, including contract administration, inspection, field-testing, scheduling/estimating, instituting project controls and quality assessment. The Company provides scheduling, cost
estimating and construction observation services for the project, or its services may be limited to providing construction consulting.

The
Civil Engineering segment provides general civil engineering as well as specialized services to public and private clients. Included in these services are: site engineering and surveys, infrastructure engineering, master planning, disaster
mitigation planning and response, asset assessment and management, emergency management and architectural and landscape design.

The
Environmental Services business segment focuses on the delivery of planning, design and construction management services for private and public sector clients related to air quality management, flood insurance studies, energy planning, hazardous and
solid waste management, ecological studies, wastewater treatment, water resources, environmental toxicology analysis, aquatic treatment systems, reclaimed water, and water supply and treatment.

In fiscal year 2007, we derived approximately 21% of our engineering fees from various districts and departments of the FDOT (approximately 16% of total
engineering fees) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) (approximately 5% of total engineering fees) under numerous contracts. The majority of these revenues were earned by our Transportation Services segment.

Segment operating income includes corporate related costs which are not generally specific to the individual segments operations. Such costs
primarily consist of indirect salaries and general and administrative costs. The amounts are allocated to the segments based on the individual segments proportionate share of indirect salaries and general and administrative costs compared to
total Company indirect salaries and general and administrative costs, excluding any allocable costs.

At the annual meeting of the shareholders held on January 28, 2005, the shareholders approved a
proposal to authorize the Company to execute an agreement with Richard Wickett, our former Chairman of the Board from 2002 to February 2005 and former Chief Financial Officer from 1993 to 2004, to allow him to retain his 138,607 shares of the
Companys stock, exclusive of his shares owned through the Companys Employee Profit Sharing and Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (ESOP), upon retirement and offer for sale the shares, in blocks of 46,000, 46,000 and 46,607
shares in February 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively, at a price determined at the valuation at the fiscal year end immediately preceding the redemption period.

Pursuant to the Companys by-laws, the Company is permitted to repurchase stock by delivery
of a promissory note to the employee. On February 23, 2006 the Company repurchased 46,000 shares and 3,400 shares, respectively, of the Companys stock from Richard Wickett and Kathryn Wilson in the original principal amounts of $1.2
million and $92,000, respectively. The shares were repurchased for $27.00 per share which represents the September 30, 2004 share price, pending completion of the valuation of the Companys stock as of September 30, 2005. At
September 30, 2007, the Company had an accrual of $49,400 for the difference between the purchase price and the September 30, 2005 share value of $28.00. At September 30, 2007, the notes bear interest at the rate of 8.25% per
annum and such rate is adjusted to the then current prime rate of Bank of America on December 31stof each year. Accrued interest and $1 of principal
is due monthly on the notes with all remaining principal and accrued interest due and payable on the five year anniversary of the date of issuance.

On February 13, 2007, the Company repurchased an additional 46,607 shares of the
Companys stock from Richard Wickett in the original principal amount of $1.0 million. The additional shares were purchased for $22.40 per share which represents 80% of the September 30, 2005 share price, pending completion of the
valuation of the Companys stock as of September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2007, the Company had an accrual for the difference between the purchase price and the September 30, 2006 share value. At September 30, 2007, the
notes bear interest at the rate of 8.25% per annum and such rate is adjusted to the then current prime rate of Bank of America on December 31stof each year. Accrued interest and $1 of principal is due monthly on the notes with all remaining principal and accrued interest due and payable on the five year anniversary of the date of issuance.

Both notes are subject to the Companys right of set off, which permits the Company to set off all claims it may have against the payee against
amounts due and owing under the notes. The balances of the notes and the accruals for the stock price differentials were $2.5 million and $1.4 million at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and were included in other liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, as permitted under certain conditions pursuant to the
terms of the agreement, the Company discontinued payments, and the provision of other benefits, to Richard Wickett under his Supplemental Retirement Agreement (Agreement). The agreement was determined to be forfeited by Richard Wickett
due in part to his pleading guilty to a felony. As a result of the forfeiture, the Companys projected benefit obligation, as defined under SFAS 158, was reduced by $1.2 million ($809,000 after taxes) at September 30, 2007. The reduction
in the liability was recognized in other comprehensive income and will be recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost based on the amortization provisions of SFAS 87. Additional information concerning Retirement Plans is set forth in Note
8.

In November 2007, the Company reached a tentative agreement with a former senior executive of the Company to reduce the term of his
Supplemental Retirement Agreement to five years. As a result of this tentative agreement, the projected benefit obligation was reduced, as defined under SFAS 158, by approximately $415,000 ($280,000 after tax) at September 30, 2007.The
reduction in the liability was recognized in other comprehensive income and will be recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost based on the amortization provisions of SFAS 87. Additional information concerning Retirement Plans is set
forth in Note 8.

In July 2007, pursuant to the Companys by-laws, the Company did not exercise its right of first refusal to redeem
the shares offered for redemption by John Shearer, our former National Service Director and Senior Vice President. In accordance with the Companys by-laws, the shares were next offered to our ESOP plan; the

Note: Quarterly and year-to-date computations of per share amounts are made independently;
therefore, the sum of per share amounts for the quarters may not equal per share amounts for the year.

During the first quarter of fiscal
year 2007, the Company experienced a decline in business activity, especially in the residential markets of California and the Southwest, which most affected the engineering components of our private sector land development services. Also
contributing to the negative results were delays in starting projects and the temporary stoppage in bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT. Additionally, the operating results were negatively impacted by a decrease in chargeability across all segments
caused by the slowdown in business activity.

The Company experienced a net loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 primarily due to
the temporary stoppage in work and bidding for new jobs with the TxDOT during the latter half of the third quarter and beginning of the fourth quarter which resulted in an increase in indirect salaries, increases in investigation and related costs,
and an increase in legal settlements and fees.

Not applicable.



|ITEM 9A. | Controls and Procedures
|-------- | -----------------------

Attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K are certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required financial disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of the Audit Committee and management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon, and as of the date of, this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Accordingly, management believes that the
financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Status of Remediation of Prior Year Material Weaknesses

We have implemented several changes to our
internal control over financial reporting in response to the material weaknesses identified in our 2006 Form 10-K. To address the material weaknesses, we have implemented the following procedures:



| |  |  | We have continued to emphasize controls and improve the controls designed to safeguard our cash assets and implemented segregation of duties.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We have enhanced our expertise by hiring new accounting and finance personnel with substantial knowledge of financial accounting principles and procedures.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We have engaged consultants with significant expertise in the areas of income tax and governmental accounting to advise and provide support in these areas.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Controls have been enhanced to restrict access to software, operating systems and Company data along with a review of access privileges.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We have hired additional internal audit professionals who have performed the fraud risk assessment and who will be responsible for monitoring the Companys
internal controls.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company previously identified and reported material weaknesses relating to the lack of fraud risk assessment and several significant deficiencies in
the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over the monthly close, quarterly, and fiscal year-end reporting. During fiscal year 2007, we have taken steps to remedy these material weaknesses, as outlined above. During the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2007, we completed the Companys fraud risk assessment. In addition, the Company added professional staff in its financial reporting function to complete balance sheet and income statement account reconciliations in a
timely manner. We believe that the above actions have strengthened and significantly improved our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The Companys management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting
will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. The design of a control system
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making
can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of
any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any systems design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Projections of any evaluation of a systems control effectiveness into future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or
procedures.
