EA has emerged with a streamlined corporate structure and a business development
strategy  that  maximizes  the  return  on  our  investments   and  assets.   By
successfully  addressing the substantial  challenges that confronted our Company
during  fiscal  1999,  EA ended  the  second  half of  fiscal  1999  profitable,
competitive  and better  positioned  than ever  before to  deliver  value to our
clients.

FINANCIAL IMPROVEMENTS

The bottom  line for any  company is  profitability.  In the last half of fiscal
1999,  EA  returned  to  profitability.   Equally  important,   this  return  to
profitability  is based on  sound  financial  footing  that can be  expected  to
continue into the future.  After identifying key problem areas, we corrected our
course through restructuring, resulting in an extraordinary charge in the second
quarter. In addition, the Company sold EA Laboratories, the analytical chemistry
laboratory division, at a profit in the third quarter,  reflecting the Company's
continuing focus on higher-margin consulting services.

A comparison of EA's financial achievements in the last half of fiscal 1999 with
the same period of the  previous  year  illustrates  the results of the tactical
strategy  introduced  by EA in  1999-results  that include  improved  quality of
earnings and a record labor utilization rate. Sales,  general and administrative
costs were  reduced by 18  percent,  when  compared to the same period the prior
year. Net revenue for the second half of fiscal 1999 was $18.6 million  compared
to $17.6  million  the  previous  year,  and net income as a  percentage  of net
revenue was 3.10 percent versus 0.50 percent for the same period the prior year.
Operating  income and net income as a percentage of net revenue reported for the
second half of fiscal 1999 rose to the  highest  levels in four years.  Further,
net earnings per share rose to $0.10 in the second half of fiscal 1999  compared
to $0.03 for the same period the prior year.

IMPLEMENTING A STRATEGIC VISION

In February 1999, EA implemented a new management  structure,  setting the stage
for a more  streamlined  organization.  Although the Company's  strategic vision
crafted over the previous two years remained viable, the

(At the bottom, center of the page)

The words "THE RELATIONSHIP" appear

corresponding  implementation  strategy had not  delivered  adequate  returns on
investment  in  a  timely   fashion.   Consequently,   a  tactical   change  was
instituted--centering  on a corporate "right-sizing" to create a more profitable
organization.  A decentralization of the executive sales and marketing structure
sharply reduced overhead  expenses while  strengthening the  competitiveness  of
branch sales efforts  within  regional  boundaries  and areas of expertise.  The
shift of sales and marketing responsibilities has promoted branch responsiveness
to both existing  clients and market  opportunities,  while the leaner corporate
structure has  dramatically  improved  performance  at the  consolidated  level.
During the last six months of fiscal 1999,  six of the Company's  eight regional
branch centers showed improved profitability.

The divestiture of EA  Laboratories  during the third quarter was implemented to
support a leaner corporate  structure and the Company's decision to return focus
to our  consulting  roots.  The Company  maintains our  historically  profitable
toxicological and biological  testing  facilities.  These specialized and unique
capabilities represent a critical aspect of EA's natural resource and ecological
risk  services,  serving as valuable  components of the  Company's  expertise in
defining toxic components of water, wastewater and soil.

"EA's  culture has always been to address  our  client's  needs in a manner that
integrates our expertise with their interests and  perspective,  and has yielded
our many long-term client  relationships.  I am extremely proud to be part of an
organization  that  incorporates  this approach into its mission."  --William L.
Goodfellow, National Director of Ecotoxicology

MAXIMIZING MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

A key component of EA's tactical  strategy to achieve our financial goals is the
reassessment  of the markets  that  represent  the  greatest  opportunities  for
return.  By  accurately  targeting  these  market   opportunities--by   physical
location, client needs and EA's established  strengths--we  successfully renewed
our ties with former  clients,  gained new clients,  and  leveraged  traditional
assignments into expanded service contracts.

An important  source of EA's revenue has been,  and continues to be, the federal
government.  EA  capitalized  on our strong record of  performance  with federal
agencies by successfully  expanding contracts beyond our traditional  Department
of Defense  clients to include the US Coast Guard,  the US Postal  Service,  and
Brookhaven National  Laboratories.  In addition,  EA gained new work assignments
under existing federal contracts.  Further,  we expanded our historic service to
the  federal  sector  through  assignments  in new areas of  expertise,  such as
information  technology,  where EA is providing  website  development to support
data evaluation, compliance reporting, and special training initiatives.

(A sidebar appears beside and to the left of the previous two paragraphs)

"The  energy our people are putting  forth on behalf of our clients is unprece-
dented.  It is truly rewarding to be part of a team with such a singular focus
on client  service.  The Northeast Region is operating  more  efficiently than
ever, and our client base has expanded dramatically."
--Michael S. Battle,  Manager, Northeast Operations

<PAGE>

EA's  emphasis on branch  decision-making  paralleled a strategic  investment to
expand the Company's presence in targeted state and local markets. The return on
that  investment is  demonstrated  by EA's receipt of contracts with new clients
including  the City  and  County  of San  Francisco,  the  Miami  Dade  Aviation
Department,  the  Port  Authority  of New  York/New  Jersey,  and the  Dormitory
Authority of the State of New York. EA's unique ability to bridge environmental,
energy,  and  health  and  safety  issues  represents  opportunities  to provide
services  beyond  those  for which we may be  contracted  by  existing  clients,
opening  the  door  for  opportunities  in  "next-generation"   areas  including
information technology,  enterprise data management, ISO 14001 certification and
integrated environmental management.

The deregulation and subsequent  restructuring prevalent in the utility industry
echo market  conditions  that  historically  fueled EA's formation  and,  today,
present the Company with a new generation of opportunities.  In particular,  the
promulgation  of new water  quality  regulations  has created a market for EA to
provide  services.  While renewing ties with former utility  clients,  including
Carolina Power & Light,  Allegheny  Power and Duquesne  Light,  EA added Cowlitz
County (WA) Public Utility  District No. 1 as a substantial  new client with the
award of a multi-million dollar contract to serve as the managing consultant for
the licensing of PacifiCorp's Lewis River (WA) Hydro Project.

"This past year we demonstrated our sensitivity and  responsiveness  to client
needs with the opening of a new office in Houston and the  broadening  of our
technical  service  areas.  EA's job list in the South  Central  Region is now
more stable and diverse than ever, thanks to our commitment to succeed."
--Roger W. Place,  Project Manager, Texas Operations

EA  continued  our  expansion  in the  $400  billion  international  market.  Of
particular  importance is the Company's growing visibility as a service provider
for international  commercial projects. EA was selected by Carrefour, one of the
world's leading retailers, to provide environmental services for the development
of a new retail project in Mexico City. Notably, the Carrefour project is one of
the largest commercial developments ever undertaken in Mexico City. EA's success
in Mexico  serves as a solid  springboard  for a  strategic  expansion  into the
rapidly  expanding  markets  of  Latin  America.  In  addition  to new  clients,
long-term federal clients continued to rely on EA for services overseas,  adding
new orders in the Pacific Islands, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

FUELING EA'S LEADERSHIP POSITION

EA enjoys a solid  reputation  within our  industry  and among our  clients  for
quality.  That  reputation is directly  rooted in the  expertise,  integrity and
leadership skills of our people--people  who daily deliver  unequalled  service,
dedication and talent to benefit our clients,  our company and our shareholders.
In the process, EA's personnel consistently attract the attention of

"Winning is a habit and the California  team has made it our mission to continue
that   tradition.   EA's   dedication   to  winning   the  water  wars  and  our
client-centered approach facilitate this habit." --Ryan Brooks, California Sales
Representative  professional  organizations  charged with identifying "the best"
for special recognition. As in years before, EA's people were recognized in 1999
through national and regional awards.  We accepted these awards with great pride
on behalf of the men and women who consistently perform exceptional work on EA's
behalf.

LOOKING FORWARD

After a  challenging  year,  EA is has a firm  foundation  for the  future.  Our
commitment to reach the goals we have set is based on a prudent  recognition  of
EA's  strengths  and the market  opportunities  for which the firm is especially
well suited.  EA's growth strategy  reflects that recognition by targeting sales
and marketing efforts to those regional  locations,  industries and client needs
likely  to  produce  acceptable  returns  on  investment.   By  emphasizing  the
visibility  and strength of each branch  office,  EA has emerged as a recognized
"local"  resource  to  existing  and  potential  clients  in  key  market  areas
throughout the US and overseas.  At the same time,  our growing  entrepreneurial
perspective  positions  EA not  only to meet  clients'  existing  needs,  but to
anticipate new  opportunities  and develop  responsive  technical and management
services.

(A sidebar appears beside and to the right of the previous two paragraphs)

"During  my  12-year  career  with EA I have had the  pleasure  to work with and
develop an extraordinary  staff who thrives on new,  different,  and challenging
opportunities. We are a team dedicated to giving "whatever it takes" to succeed,
in both our business and personal  lives." --Lee  Becker,  Manager North Central
Operations

The  basis of EA's  renewed  strength  is our  workforce.  New  talent  is being
attracted to EA and,  perhaps  most  gratifying,  our turnover  rate has dropped
significantly  from  above the  industry  average  to well  below  the  industry
average.  With the two critical components needed to achieve these objectives in
place--a streamlined  corporate structure and a staff of exceptional  capability
and  commitment--EA  is prepared to enter the next  century  with the ability to
deliver value to our clients and to our shareholders.

Sincerely,
