accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes for the year ended December
31, 1995 included in the Company's Form 10-K, as amended. The accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended
September 30, 1996 have not been audited by independent auditors in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, but in the opinion of management
such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's consolidated
financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 may not be indicative of the results that

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, (i) the percentage of
net fees represented by certain items reflected in the Company's condensed
consolidated statements of income and (ii) the percentage increase or decrease
in each of such items in 1996 from the comparable period in the prior year. The
Company measures its operating performance on the basis of net fees since a
substantial portion of gross fees flow through to clients as costs of
subcontractors and other project-specific outside services. Net fees are
determined by deducting the cost of these outside services from gross fees. This
table and the subsequent discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net fees of $215.2 million for the first nine months of 1996
decreased 11.3% from net fees of $242.6 million for the same period in 1995.
Third quarter 1996 net fees decreased 12.8% to $69.6 million compared to third
quarter 1995 net fees of $79.9 million. The Domestic Group's net fees decreased
13.8% from $167.6 million for the first nine months of 1995 to $144.5 million
for the same period in 1996. Third quarter net fees for the Domestic Group
decreased 14.8% from $54.6 million in 1995 to $46.5 million in 1996. These
decreases were due to the following reasons: several weeks of inclement winter
weather in the North and East regions of the United States, the effects of the
Company's focus on its cost structure and competitiveness as opposed to growth,
lack of regulatory pressure to drive environmental markets, and overall
competitiveness in the markets for the Domestic Group's services. For 1996 and
future years, the Company has initiated a domestic national marketing
development program designed to increase the Company's market share and net
fees. Specifically, the goals are to position the Company to take further
advantage of major work opportunities that exist in the market for the Company's


                                       6
<PAGE>
 
core competencies and services by targeting specific large national clients.
Another goal of this program is to develop a structure for quick and effective
response to marketing opportunities as they are identified at all levels--
national, regional, and local. A separate business development and project
management program is underway that is designed to assist local offices with
local business development capabilities and to improve local profitability
through better pricing strategies.

The International Group's net fees decreased 5.7% from $75.0 million in the
first nine months of 1995 to $70.7 million in 1996. Third quarter net fees for
the International Group decreased 8.3% from $25.3 million in 1995 to $23.2
million in 1996. These net fee changes were primarily a result of the runoff of
existing projects combined with the delay in startup of other projects, and
decreases in the average value of the dollar: 3.6% in the first nine months of
1996 and 1.8% in the third quarter of 1996.

The consolidated gross profit margin decreased from 60.7% in the first nine
months of 1995 to 59.6% for the same period in 1996. For the third quarter, the
consolidated gross profit margin also decreased from 60.0% in 1995 to 58.7% in
1996. The Domestic Group's gross profit margin decreased to 65.0% in the first
nine months of 1996 from 65.6% for the same period in 1995. This decrease was
attributable to a slight increase in non-billable job-related expenses and an
increase in direct labor costs. For the third quarter, the Domestic Group's
gross profit margin decreased slightly to 64.0% in 1996 from 64.5% in 1995. The
International Group's gross profit margin decreased slightly from 49.7% in the
first nine months of 1995 to 48.6% for the same period in 1996. For the third
quarter, the International Group's gross profit margin decreased to 48.1% in
1996 from 50.1% in 1995. These decreases resulted from an increase in non-
billable job-related expenses, which were slightly offset by a decrease in
direct labor costs.

Consolidated indirect costs and expenses decreased to $119.9 million, or 55.7%
of net fees, for the first nine months of 1996 compared to $136.8 million, or
56.4% of net fees, in 1995. For the third quarter of 1996, indirect costs and
expenses decreased to $37.9 million, or 54.4% of net fees, compared to $46.5
million, or 58.3% of net fees, for the same period in 1995. These decreases
($16.9 million, or 12.4%, for the first nine months of 1996 and $8.6 million, or
18.6%, for the third quarter of 1996) were attributable to the Company's 1996
cost reduction and labor utilization initiatives. In addition to the domestic
marketing and business development initiatives mentioned above, the Company has
initiated other programs, focused on the domestic business, with overall goals
to maximize efficiency and profitability and to positively effect change in the
Company's culture. These programs include an initiative to measure and improve
contribution to the Company's overall goals and objectives, on both an
individual and an organizational level. These initiatives focus on specific
financial drivers and help determine how individual and organizational efforts
can positively impact these drivers.

Another program is focused on technical delivery, quality control, and quality
assurance. The central objectives to this program are to reassess technical
delivery throughout the Company and to enable the Company to make immediate
improvements in the utilization of staff; to reassess quality assurance, quality
control rules, responsibilities, and structure in order to improve work quality;
and to define and implement standard procedures for technical execution and


                                       7
<PAGE>
 
delivery. The Company has also focused on improving procurement activities
designed to reduce material and service costs by development and negotiation of
national contracts to take advantage of the Company's overall purchasing power.
The areas which have been impacted through the first nine months of 1996 include
office supplies, travel management, office equipment, telecommunications and
cellular services, offsite data management, forms management, and vehicle
leasing.

In addition, the Company plans a comprehensive ongoing review of its overhead
cost structure designed to analyze the functions provided by each department,
the value related to these functions, and the cost to perform and maintain these
functions. This review is intended to assist the Company in making the most
efficient use of resources required to support these areas. While the intent of
these programs is to increase profits, there can be no assurance they will be
successful.

Interest expense decreased to $3.6 million in the first nine months of 1996
compared to $4.4 million in 1995. For the third quarter of 1996, interest
expense decreased to $1.2 million compared to $1.5 million for the third quarter
of 1995. These decreases were related to lower average outstanding debt and
interest on a property tax rebate in the International Group in the first
quarter of 1996. Deferred financing costs of $1.9 million related to the
renegotiation of the Company's credit facilities were also expensed in the first
nine months of 1996 ($.3 million in the third quarter of 1996).

The effective income tax rates for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995 were
60.5% and 45.0%, respectively. The 1996 third quarter effective income tax rate
was 63.9%, as compared to the 1995 third quarter tax rate of 45.0%. The
effective tax rates were higher than the statutory federal rate of 34% due
primarily to the effect of state income taxes, certain nondeductible expenses,
and losses in certain jurisdictions for which no benefit was recognized.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $1,262,000, or $.66
per share. This compares with net income of $2,909,000, or $1.45 per share, for
the first nine months of 1995. The net income for the third quarter of 1996 was
$574,000, or $.30 per share, compared with a net loss of ($196,000), or ($.10)
per share, for the third quarter of 1995.

CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The translation of the Company's foreign subsidiaries' financial statements into
U.S. dollars is done in multiple steps. First, all foreign operations are
measured into the functional currencies of the foreign subsidiaries' economic
environments by utilizing a combination of current, average, and historic
exchange rates, with translation impacts being included in income. The foreign
subsidiaries' functional currency financial statements are translated into U.S.
dollars, the Company's reporting currency, utilizing current and average
exchange rates, resulting in an adjustment to shareholders' equity. In addition,
transactions denominated in different currencies result in exchange gains or
losses which are included in income. The impact of foreign currency translation
and exchange transactions included in income was not significant in the first
nine months of 1996. The translation of the Company's foreign subsidiaries' in
the first nine months of 1996 resulted in a $.6 million change in the Foreign
Currency Translation Adjustment component of shareholders' equity. This change
was caused by a 0.7% decrease in the strength of the dollar relative to the
pound sterling from the rate at December 31, 1995 to the rate at September 30,
1996.


                                       8
<PAGE>
 
DEBT AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

The Company reported debt and short-term borrowings of $42.6 million at
September 30, 1996, compared to $52.4 million at December 31, 1995. At December
31, 1995, the Company was not in compliance with all the restrictive covenants
in the bank credit facility agreements. The Company subsequently received a
waiver and, on May 10, 1996, received a commitment from its banks to modify and
extend its credit facilities to January 15, 1997. (Please refer to the Liquidity
and Capital Resources discussion below.) The Company is currently in compliance
with all restrictive covenants. These revised credit facilities are secured by
substantially all assets of the Company and substantially all stock of its
subsidiaries. The revised credit facilities, in addition to customary
restrictions normally contained in credit facilities of this type, include
certain restrictions relating to, among other things, maintaining debt within
approved limits, maintaining a minimum specified tangible net worth, limitations
on capital expenditures and share repurchases, and achievement of certain fixed
charge and interest coverage ratios.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the second quarter, the Company engaged a financial advisor, Alex. Brown &
Sons Incorporated, to assist in developing a financial plan consistent with the
Company's strategic objectives. Within the scope of the financial advisor's role
has been the analysis and review of the Company's current capital structure and
evaluation of alternative means of raising debt or equity capital. On October
28, 1996, the Company announced that this effort has resulted in a letter of
intent to merge with PSI Holdings, Inc. (PSI). PSI, based in Lombard, Illinois,
is a nationally recognized leader in engineering, environmental, and
construction services. PSI is controlled by Bain Capital, Inc., a Boston-based
private investment firm. The Board of Directors has authorized management to
enter into negotiations for a definitive merger agreement.

While there can be no assurance that the Company will reach definitive merger
terms, the proposed merger is intended to provide an improved capital structure.
In parallel with the merger negotiations, the Company is seeking a short-term
extension of its current bank credit facilities until permanent financing is
established as a result of the merger.

Prior to 1995, certain of the Company's subsidiaries filed their federal income
tax returns on the cash basis of accounting. Effective January 1, 1995, these
subsidiaries changed their method of accounting from the cash to the accrual
method for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, previously deferred income
of approximately $47 million at January 1, 1995 will be included in taxable
income over a four-year period beginning in 1995. The Company anticipates income
tax payments of approximately $3.4 million in 1996 related to this change in
income tax accounting.


                                       9
<PAGE>
 
The Company believes that its cash provided by operations and borrowings
available under the bank credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its base
operating requirements and capital expenditures through December 31, 1996. The
Company's ability to fund growth, other than at minimum levels, will depend on
profitability and working capital management, primarily in the areas of accounts
receivable and work in progress. The Company believes that a moderate shortfall
in operating profits could be offset by more intense accounts receivable
collection efforts.

The bank credit facilities prohibit principal payments on existing notes of
approximately $13.1 million (as of September 30, 1996) or any future notes owed
by the Company to former shareholders. The existing notes as well as any future
notes to former shareholders state that they are subordinated to the bank credit
facilities.

The Company's 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) permits employees to elect to
invest their Plan contributions in Company Common Stock, and provides that the
Company's matching contributions, if any, under the Plan are made in the form of
Company Common Stock. As of May 10, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company
determined to temporarily terminate all purchases of Company Common Stock under
the Plan whether as employee contributions or as Company matching contributions.
This termination was effected in light of conditions regarding the Company's
financial position, including (i) negotiations regarding extension of the
Company's credit facilities, (ii) the Company's failure to timely file its 1995
Annual Report on Form 10-K, and (iii) the related unavailability of a current
appraisal of the fair market value of the Common Stock. While these conditions
have been addressed by the Company, the Company has continued the suspension of
trading in Company Common Stock under the 401(k) Plan pending completion of the
merger negotiations with Bain and PSI.

EFFECT OF INFLATION

General economic inflation had the effect of increasing the Company's basic
costs of operations. These increased costs were generally recovered through
increases in contract prices.

CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATIONS

Cash provided by operations in the first nine months of 1996 was $15.5 million
compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 1995. This increase was
primarily attributable to better working capital management in the areas of
accounts receivable and unbilled work in progress.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 1996 were $3.3 million. This
represents a decrease of $.5 million from the first nine months of 1995. This
decrease was in line with the Company's 1996 capital expenditures plan, as well
as within the limits imposed by the revised credit facilities. Pursuant to the
revised credit facilities, the Company is required to limit capital spending to
$6.0 million in 1996. During this period, the Company completed the installation
of its new project and financial accounting system and continued to upgrade
existing computer equipment. The Company has no other material commitments for
purchases of additional equipment.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends are prohibited by the bank credit facilities.
