OUR ACTUAL LIQUIDITY NEEDS, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OPERATING RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE DISCUSSION SET FORTH BELOW IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, REFER TO THE NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. OVERVIEW Tetra Tech, Inc. is a leading provider of specialized management consulting and technical services in three principal business areas: resource management, infrastructure and communications. As a specialized management consultant, we assist our clients in defining problems and developing innovative and cost-effective solutions. Our management consulting services are complemented by our technical services. These technical services, which implement solutions, include research and development, applied science, engineering and architectural design, construction management, and operations and maintenance. Our clients include a diverse base of public and private organizations located in the United States and internationally. Since our initial public offering in December 1991, we increased the size and scope of our business and have expanded our service offerings through a series of strategic acquisitions and internal growth. From fiscal 1991 through fiscal 2000, we generated a net revenue compounded annual growth rate of approximately 35.8% and achieved a net income compounded annual growth rate of approximately 37.2%. We derive our revenue from fees from professional services. Our services are billed under various types of contracts with our clients, including: - fixed-price; - fixed-rate time and materials; - cost-reimbursement plus fixed fee; and - cost-reimbursement plus fixed and award fee. In the course of providing our services, we routinely subcontract services. These subcontractor costs are passed through to our clients and, in accordance with industry practice, are included in our gross revenue. Because subcontractor services can change significantly from project to project, we believe net revenue, which is gross revenue less the cost of subcontractor services, is a more appropriate measure of our performance. Our cost of net revenue includes professional compensation and certain direct and indirect overhead costs such as rents, utilities and travel. Professional compensation represents the majority of these costs. Our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses are comprised primarily of our corporate headquarters' costs related to the executive offices, corporate accounting, information technology, marketing, and bid and proposal costs. These costs are generally unrelated to specific client projects. In addition, we include amortization of certain intangible assets resulting from acquisitions in SG&A expenses. 4 We provide services to a diverse base of Federal, state and local government agencies, and private and international clients. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the approximate percentage of our net revenue attributable to these client sectors: Percentage of Net Revenue ---------------------------------------------- Client Fiscal 2000 Fiscal 1999 Fiscal 1998 ------ ----------- ----------- ----------- Federal government............................... 29.1% 39.1% 48.7% State and local government....................... 16.3 16.3 12.7 Private.......................................... 51.4 41.3 35.4 International.................................... 3.2 3.3 3.2 ----------- ----------- ----------- Total............................................ 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% =========== =========== =========== We manage our business in three operating segments: Resource Management, Infrastructure and Communications. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the approximate percentage of net revenue attributable to the operating segments: Percentage of Net Revenue ---------------------------------------------- Operating Segment Fiscal 2000 Fiscal 1999 Fiscal 1998 ----------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Resource Management.............................. 41.3% 53.6% 66.8% Infrastructure................................... 31.8 25.9 15.9 Communications................................... 25.6 20.5 17.2 Other revenue.................................... 1.3 0.0 0.1 ----------- ----------- ----------- Total............................................ 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% =========== =========== =========== Our revenue and operating results fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, such as: - the seasonality of the spending cycle of our public sector clients and the spending patterns of our private sector clients; - employee hiring and utilization rates; - the number and significance of client engagements commenced and completed during a quarter; - delays incurred in connection with an engagement; - the ability of clients to terminate engagements without penalties; - the size and scope of engagements; - the timing and size of the return on investment capital; and - general economic and political conditions. Variations in any of these factors can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter and could result in losses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain operating information as a percentage of net revenue: Percentage of Net Revenue ------------------------------------------------ Fiscal Year Ended ------------------------------------------------ Oct. 1, Oct. 3, Oct. 4, 2000 1999 1998 --------- --------- -------- Net revenue............................. 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of net revenue..................... 75.7 75.8 75.2 --------- --------- -------- Gross profit............................ 24.3 24.2 24.8 6 Selling, general and administrative expenses............................. 11.9 11.4 11.4 --------- --------- -------- Income from operations.................. 12.4 12.8 13.4 Net interest expense.................... 1.2 0.7 0.7 --------- --------- -------- Income before minority interest and income tax expense................... 11.2 12.1 12.7 Minority interest....................... -- -- (0.5) --------- --------- -------- Income before income tax expense........ 11.2 12.1 12.2 Income tax expense...................... 4.4 5.4 5.3 --------- --------- -------- Net income.............................. 6.8 % 6.7% 6.9% ======== ========= ========= FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999 NET REVENUE. Net revenue increased $166.0 million, or 38.4%, to $598.1 million in fiscal 2000 from $432.1 million in fiscal 1999. All three business segments and all four client sectors continued to show net revenue increases in actual dollars. These increases were primarily attributable to the expansion of our infrastructure services throughout the United States, the continued expansion of new lines of service in our communications business and companies acquired in fiscal 2000. As a percentage of net revenue, an increase was realized in the private sector. We segregate from our total revenue, revenue from companies acquired during the current fiscal year as well as revenue recognized from acquired companies during the first 12 months following their respective effective dates of acquisition. Revenue recognized from acquired companies during such first 12 months is referred to as acquisitive revenue. Organic revenue is measured as total revenue less any acquisitive revenue. Net revenue provided by companies acquired during fiscal 2000 totaled $32.7 million. Excluding this net revenue, we realized 30.9% growth in our net revenue from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000. Acquisitive net revenue for fiscal 2000 totaled $114.2 million. Excluding this net revenue, we realized organic growth in our net revenue of 12.0%. Gross revenue increased $228.1 million, or 40.3%, to $794.6 million in fiscal 2000 from $566.5 million in fiscal 1999. In fiscal 2000, subcontractor costs comprised 24.7% of gross revenue compared to 23.7% for fiscal 1999. COST OF NET REVENUE. Cost of net revenue increased $125.5 million, or 38.3%, to $452.9 million in fiscal 2000 from $327.3 million in fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net revenue, cost of net revenue decreased from 75.8% in fiscal 1999 to 75.7% in fiscal 2000. Professional compensation, the largest component of our cost of net revenue, rose as the number of our employees increased by 677, or 12.4%, to 6,120 in fiscal 2000 from 5,443 in fiscal 1999. However, excluding the 681 employees provided from acquired companies, the number of our employees remained flat. Gross profit increased $40.5 million, or 38.7%, to $145.2 million in fiscal 2000 from $104.7 million in fiscal 1999. Included in our net revenue and gross profit was $2.00 million and $1.75 million relating to reversals of previously established allowances for disallowed costs in fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively. (See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) As a percentage of net revenue, gross profit increased from 24.2% in fiscal 1999 to 24.3% in fiscal 2000. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. SG&A expenses, exclusive of amortization expense, increased $20.0 million, or 45.1%, to $64.5 million in fiscal 2000 from $44.5 million in fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to expenses associated with the automation of our corporate business systems and processes, business development activities and higher administrative costs associated with acquired companies. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A expenses, exclusive of amortization expense, increased to 10.8% in fiscal 2000 from 10.3% in fiscal 1999. The amortization 7 expense related to acquisitions increased $1.7 million, or 33.5%, to $6.5 million in fiscal 2000 from $4.8 million in fiscal 1999. NET INTEREST EXPENSE. Net interest expense increased $3.9 million, or 124.1%, from $3.1 million in fiscal 1999 to $7.0 million in fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to increased borrowings on our credit facility in order to fund working capital and investing needs of acquisitions as well as increase in interest rates. In fiscal 2000, borrowings on our credit facility averaged $95.4 million compared to $44.6 million in fiscal 1999. INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense increased $3.6 million, or 15.5%, to $26.8 million in fiscal 2000 from $23.2 million in fiscal 1999. This increase was due to higher income before income taxes and a change in our effective tax rate. During fiscal 2000, we performed an extensive review of our current tax position and certain tax strategies which could potentially reduce our effective tax rate. As a result of this review, we have determined that we are entitled to certain tax credits for fiscal 2000 as well as certain prior years. These credits are primarily responsible for the reduction in our effective tax rate to 39.8% in fiscal 2000 from 44.3% in fiscal 1999. We expect our future effective tax rate to be approximately 42.0%. FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998 NET REVENUE. Net revenue increased $134.5 million, or 45.2%, to $432.1 million in fiscal 1999 from $297.6 million in fiscal 1998. All four client sectors continued to show net revenue increases in actual dollars. These increases were primarily attributable to the expansion of our infrastructure services throughout the United States, the continued expansion of new lines of service in our communications business and companies acquired in fiscal 1999. As a percentage of net revenue, increases were realized in the state and local sector, the private sector and the international sector. Net revenue from the companies acquired in fiscal 1999 totaled $61.5 million. Excluding the net revenue from these companies, we realized 24.5% growth in our net revenue. Acquisitive net revenue for fiscal 1999 totaled $117.3 million. Excluding this net revenue, we realized organic growth in our net revenue of 5.8%. Gross revenue increased $183.6 million, or 47.9%, to $566.5 million in fiscal 1999 from $382.9 million in fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1999, subcontractor costs comprised 23.7% of gross revenue compared to 22.3% for fiscal 1998. COST OF NET REVENUE. Cost of net revenue increased $103.5 million, or 46.2%, to $327.3 million in fiscal 1999 from $223.9 million in fiscal 1998. As a percentage of net revenue, cost of net revenue increased from 75.2% in fiscal 1998 to 75.8% in fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to higher costs incurred from the acquired companies. Professional compensation, the largest component of our cost of net revenue, rose as the number of our employees increased by 1,781, or 48.6%, to 5,443 in fiscal 1999 from 3,662 in fiscal 1998. Excluding the employees provided from acquired companies, our number of employees increased by 74, or 2.0%. Gross profit increased $31.0 million, or 42.1%, to $104.7 million in fiscal 1999 from $73.7 million in fiscal 1998. Included in our fiscal 1999 net revenue and gross profit was $1.75 million relating to the reversal of previously established allowances for disallowed costs. (See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) However, as a percentage of net revenue, gross profit decreased from 24.8% in fiscal 1998 to 24.2% in fiscal 1999, primarily due to lower margins of acquired companies. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. SG&A expenses increased $15.4 million, or 45.4%, to $49.3 million in fiscal 1999 from $33.9 million in fiscal 1998. This increase was primarily attributable to additional headquarters' costs associated with centralizing corporate functions, other corporate initiatives, costs associated with year 2000 compliance, as well as additional amortization expense relating to acquired companies. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A expenses remained at 8 11.4%. The amortization expense related to acquisitions increased $1.8 million, or 63.1%, to $4.8 million in fiscal 1999 from $3.0 million in fiscal 1998. NET INTEREST EXPENSE. Net interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 64.1%, from $1.9 million to $3.1 million from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to the financing and working capital needs of certain acquisitions. INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense increased $7.3 million, or 45.6%, to $23.2 million in fiscal 1999 from $15.9 million in fiscal 1998. This increase was due to higher income before income taxes and an increase in our effective tax rate from 43.6% in fiscal 1998 to 44.3% in fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to increased amounts of non-deductible goodwill resulting from our business acquisitions. UNAUDITED QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS The following tables set forth certain unaudited quarterly operating results for each of our last three fiscal years ended October 1, 2000, October 3, 1999 and October 4, 1998. This data is also expressed as a percentage of net revenue for the respective quarters. The information has been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements that, in our opinion, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such quarterly information.

In fiscal 2000, $12.2 million was used in operating activities and $42.3 million was used in investing activities, of which $27.5 million was related to business acquisitions. In fiscal 1999, $30.3 million was provided by operating activities and $57.7 million was used in investing activities, of which $50.7 million was related to business acquisitions. In both fiscal years 2000 and 1999, cash provided by/used in operating activities was affected by the structure of certain transactions. One of our acquisition structures is to assign accounts receivable to the former owners at the time of the transaction in lieu of cash consideration. This structure allows us to reduce our cash used in investing activities. However, cash must be invested in future periods to finance the working capital needs of the acquired company. In fiscal 2000, in the EWS and DCI acquisitions, accounts receivable in the aggregate amount of $3.9 million were assigned to the former owners. Collections on assigned receivables totaled $10.7 million. If we had not assigned these receivables at the time of acquisition, cash used in operating activities could have been $1.5 million. In fiscal 1999, in the BAHA Communications, Inc. and Cosentini Associates, Inc. acquisitions, accounts receivable in the aggregate amount of $19.4 million were assigned to the former owners. Collections on these receivables during fiscal 1999 totaled $9.3 million. If we had not assigned these receivables at the time of acquisition, cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 1999 could have been $39.6 million. Our capital expenditures during fiscal years 2000 and 1999 were approximately $14.7 million and $7.0 million, respectively. Capital expenditures were primarily for the replacement of field equipment, the enhancement of computer equipment and office expansion. We have a credit agreement with a bank (the "Credit Agreement") which provides us with a revolving credit facility (the "Facility") of $150.0 million. The Facility matures on March 17, 2005 or earlier at our discretion upon payment in full of loans and other obligations. Throughout fiscal 2000, maximum borrowings under the Facility were $128.5 million. At October 1, 2000, borrowings and standby letters of credit totaled $110.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. In conjunction with our investment strategy, we continuously evaluate the marketplace for strategic acquisition opportunities. Once an opportunity is identified, we examine the effect an acquisition may have on the business environment, as well as on our results of operations. We proceed with an acquisition if we determine that the acquisition is anticipated to have an accretive effect on future operations or could expand our service offerings. As successful integration and implementation are essential to achieve favorable results, no assurances can be given that all acquisitions will provide accretive results. Our strategy is to position ourselves to address existing and emerging markets. We view acquisitions as a key component of our growth strategy, and we intend to use both cash and our securities, as we deem appropriate, to fund such acquisitions. We believe our operations have not been and, in the foreseeable future, are not expected to be materially adversely affected by inflation or changing prices. 10 RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STANDARDS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, which was amended by SFAS No. 138, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND CERTAIN HEDGING ACTIVITIES. These Statements required derivatives to be measured at fair value and to be recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The accounting for gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair values of those derivatives would be dependent upon the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. These Statements are effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. We will adopt these Statements in fiscal year 2001 and believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 will have no material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION, which outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. SAB No. 101 requires companies to report any changes in revenue recognition as a cumulative change in accounting principle at the time of implementation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, ACCOUNTING CHANGES. SAB No. 101, as amended, is effective no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. We will adopt SAB No. 101 in fiscal year 2001. We believe our existing revenue recognition policies and procedures are in compliance with SAB No. 101, and that the adoption of SAB No. 101 will have no material impact on our results of operations or financial position. MARKET RISKS We do not currently utilize any material derivative financial instruments which expose us to significant market risk. We are exposed to cash flow risk due to interest rate fluctuations with respect to our long-term debt. At our option, we borrow on our Facility (a) at a base rate (the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or the bank's reference rate) or (b) at a eurodollar rate plus a margin which ranges from 0.75% to 1.25%. Borrowings at the base rate have no designated term and may be repaid without penalty anytime prior to the Facility's maturity date. Borrowings at a eurodollar rate have a term no less than 30 days and no greater than 90 days. Typically, at the end of such term, such borrowings may be rolled over at our discretion into either a borrowing at the base rate or a borrowing at a eurodollar rate with similar terms, not to exceed the maturity date of the Facility. The Facility matures on March 17, 2005 or earlier at our discretion upon payment in full of loans and other obligations. Accordingly, we classify total outstanding debt between current liabilities and long-term obligations based on anticipated payments within and beyond one year's period of time. We presently anticipate repaying $26.0 million of our long-term obligations in fiscal 2001. Assuming we pay our long-term debt in the amounts of $26.0 million, $31.0 million, $37.0 million and $17.5 million for the next four years ratably throughout each year, and our average interest rate on our long-term debt increases or decreases by one percentage point, our interest expense could increase or decrease by $0.9 million, $0.6 million, $0.3 million and $0.1 million in fiscal 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. However there can be no assurance that we will, or will be able to, repay our debt in the prescribed manner or obtain alternate financing. We could incur additional debt under this credit facility or our operating results could be worse than we expect. 11 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Tetra Tech, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tetra Tech, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of October 1, 2000 and October 3, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 1, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 Tetra Tech, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of October 1, 2000 and October 3, 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 1, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Los Angeles, California November 15, 2000 12 TETRA TECH, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FISCAL YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 2000, OCTOBER 3, 1999 AND OCTOBER 4, 1998 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS - Tetra Tech, Inc. (the "Company") provides specialized management consulting and technical services in three principal business areas: resource management, infrastructure and communications. The Company's management consulting services are complemented by its technical services. These technical services, which implement solutions, include research and development, applied science, engineering and architectural design, construction management, and operations and maintenance. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiary Tetra Tech Canada Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. FISCAL YEAR - The Company reports results of operations based on 52- or 53-week periods ending near September 30. Fiscal years 2000 and 1999 contained 52 weeks. Fiscal year 1998 contained 53 weeks. CONTRACT REVENUE AND COSTS - In the course of providing its services, the Company routinely subcontracts for services. These costs are passed through to clients and, in accordance with industry practice, are included in the Company's gross revenue. Because subcontractor services can change significantly from project to project, changes in gross revenue may not be indicative of business trends. Accordingly, the Company also reports net revenue, which is gross revenue less the cost of subcontractor services. Contract revenue and contract costs on both cost-type and fixed-price-type contracts are recorded using the percentage-of-completion (cost-to-cost) method. Under this method, contract revenue on long-term contracts is recognized in the ratio that contract costs incurred bear to total estimated costs. Costs and income on long-term contracts are subject to revision throughout the lives of the contracts and any required adjustments are made in the period in which the revisions become known. Losses on contracts are recorded in full as they are identified. Selling, general and administrative costs are expensed in the period incurred. Net revenue under Federal government contracts and subcontracts accounted for approximately 29.1%, 39.1% and 48.7% of net revenue for the fiscal years ended October 1, 2000, October 3, 1999 and October 4, 1998, respectively. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash equivalents include all investments with initial maturities of 90 days or less. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Generally, estimated useful lives range from three to ten years for equipment, furniture and fixtures. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the remaining terms of the leases. 18 LONG-LIVED ASSETS - Management's policy regarding long-lived assets is to evaluate the recoverability of its assets when the facts and circumstances suggest that the assets may be impaired. This assessment is performed based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows compared with the carrying value of the assets. If the future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value, a writedown would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value. Intangible assets as of October 1, 2000 and October 3, 1999 consist principally of goodwill resulting from business acquisitions which is being amortized over periods ranging from 15 to 30 years. The accumulated amortization of intangible assets as of October 1, 2000 and October 3, 1999 was $17.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively. INCOME TAXES - The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and combined California franchise tax reports, as well as other returns which are required in the states in which the Company does business, which include the Company and its subsidiaries. Income taxes are recognized for (a) the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current period, and (b) deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or income tax returns. The effects of income taxes are measured based on enacted tax laws and rates. EARNINGS PER SHARE - Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares. The Company includes as potential common shares the weighted average number of shares of exchangeable stock of a subsidiary, the weighted average number of shares of redeemable preferred stock and the weighted average dilutive effects of outstanding stock options. The exchangeable stock of a subsidiary is non-voting and is exchangeable on a one to one basis, as adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends subsequent to the original issuance, for the Company's common stock. The redeemable preferred stock had voting and dividend rights substantially similar to those of common. The redeemable preferred stock outstanding at September 28, 1997 was converted to common stock during the fiscal year ended October 4, 1998. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. The carrying amount of the revolving credit facility and other long-term debt approximates fair value because the interest rates are based upon variable reference rates. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - Financial instruments which subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled receivables. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of investment exposure to any one financial institution. As of October 1, 2000, approximately 10.2% of accounts receivable was due from various agencies of the Federal government. The remaining accounts receivable are generally diversified due to the large number of organizations comprising the Company's client base and their geographic dispersion. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its clients and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of 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 19 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, which was amended by SFAS No. 138, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND CERTAIN HEDGING ACTIVITIES. These Statements required derivatives to be measured at fair value and to be recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The accounting for gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair values of those derivatives would be dependent upon the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. These Statements are effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company will adopt these Statements in fiscal year 2001 and believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138 will have no material impact on its results of operations or financial position. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION, which outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. SAB No. 101 requires companies to report any changes in revenue recognition as a cumulative change in accounting principle at the time of implementation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20, ACCOUNTING CHANGES. SAB No. 101, as amended, is effective no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company will adopt SAB No. 101 in fiscal year 2001. The Company believes its existing revenue recognition policies and procedures are in compliance with SAB No. 101, and that the adoption of SAB No. 101 will have no material impact on its results of operations or financial position. 2.

All of the acquisitions above have been accounted for as purchases and accordingly, the purchase prices of the businesses acquired have been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their fair values. The excess of the purchase cost of the acquisitions over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is included in Intangible Assets - Net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company historically valued stock exchanged in acquisitions based on extended restriction periods, high volatility in the trading price of the Company's common stock and other economic factors specific to the Company's circumstances. During the first three fiscal quarters of fiscal 2000 and all of fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998, stock exchanged in acquisitions was discounted by 15%. The results of operations of each of the companies acquired have been included in the Company's financial statements from the effective acquisition dates. The effect of unaudited pro forma operating results of the LCI, ENG, ESA, DCI and BTL acquisitions, had they been acquired on October 5, 1998, is not material. The following table presents summarized unaudited pro forma operating results assuming that the Company had acquired MFG, CPC, DCC, BCI, UCC, ASL, CAA, PDR, EUC, EWS, FHC and RAI on October 5, 1998: Fiscal Year Ended ---------------------------------------------- Oct. 1, 2000 Oct. 3, 1999 -------------------- ------------------- Gross revenue $823,125,000 $706,990,000 Income before income tax expense 67,457,000 57,179,000 Net income 40,580,000 32,020,000 Basic earnings per share $ 1.03 $ 0.84 Diluted earnings per share 0.97 0.79 Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic 39,305,000 38,135,000 Diluted 41,904,000 40,526,000 22 3.

(15,947,000) (5,872,000) --------------- --------------- Allowance for uncollectible accounts: Allowance for doubtful accounts.......................... (5,465,000) (4,089,000) Allowance for disallowed costs .......................... (1,608,000) (4,440,000) ---------------- --------------- Total allowance for uncollectible accounts................... (7,073,000) (8,529,000) --------------- --------------- Total ........................................................ $ 259,682,000 $ 170,576,000 =============== =============== The accounts receivable valuation allowance includes amounts to provide for doubtful accounts and for the potential disallowance of billed and unbilled costs. The Company's contracts with the Federal government are subject to audit by the government, primarily the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), which reviews the Company's overhead rates, operating systems and cost proposals. During the course of its audit, the DCAA may disallow costs if it determines that the Company improperly accounted for such costs in a manner inconsistent with Cost Accounting Standards. Historically, the Company has not had any material cost disallowances by the DCAA as a result of audit, except for disallowances of acquired receivables as further described. There can be no assurance that DCAA audits will not result in material cost disallowances in the future. On September 15, 1995, the Company acquired Tetra Tech EM Inc. (EMI) which contracts with the Federal government. At the time of acquisition, audits had not been performed for years beyond 1986 and reserves for disallowances relating to those unaudited years were adjusted to reflect the estimated ultimate disallowances relating to those receivables. As of October 3, 1999, audits and negotiations relating to the EMI contracts for years 1987 through 1995 were complete, and cost disallowances as a result of these audits totaled approximately $4.4 million. Beyond the $4.4 million in cost disallowances, there remained uncollected receivables of $2.1 million. Although it was determined that the Company was entitled to payments, collectibility of such amounts was not assured as each Federal agency must obtain separate funding approval. The reserves established for these receivables exceeded the disallowances and the uncollected amounts by $1.75 million. Accordingly, this amount was taken into income in fiscal 1999. During fiscal 2000, the Company collected $2.0 million and reversed previously established reserves related to these receivables. As of October 1, 2000, substantially all of these outstanding receivables have been collected and all reserves relating to these receivables have been reversed. Allowances to provide for doubtful accounts have been determined through reviews of specific amounts determined to be uncollectible, plus a general allowance for other amounts for which some 23 potential loss is determined to be probable based on current events and circumstances. Given the above, management believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. As of October 1, 2000, the Company had approximately $4.2 million under retainage provisions of contracts. 4. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense for the fiscal years ended October 1, 2000, October 3, 1999 and October 4, 1998 consisted of the following: Fiscal Year Ended ----------------------------------------------------- Oct. 1, Oct. 3, Oct. 4, 2000 1999 1998 -------------- -------------- ------------ Current: Federal............................ $ 20,845,000 $ 18,763,000 $ 15,284,000 State.............................. 5,224,000 4,661,000 3,535,000 Deferred ............................. 708,000 (250,000) (2,899,000) ------------- ------------- ------------- Total income tax expense.............. $ 26,777,000 $ 23,174,000 $ 15,920,000 ============= ============= ============= Temporary differences comprising the net deferred income tax asset shown on the consolidated balance sheets were as follows: Oct. 1, Oct. 3, 2000 1999 ------------- ------------- Allowance for doubtful accounts............................. $ 3,041,000 $ 1,787,000 Cash to accrual.............................................

LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS The Company has a credit agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") with a bank to support its working capital and acquisition needs. The Credit Agreement provides a revolving credit facility of $150.0 million and matures on March 17, 2005 or earlier at the discretion of the Company upon payment in full of loans and other obligations. Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is payable at the Company's option (a) at a base rate (the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or the bank's reference rate) as defined in the Credit Agreement or (b) at a eurodollar rate plus a margin which ranges from 0.75% to 1.25%. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement at October 1, 2000 was 7.71%. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Company's accounts receivable and the stock of the Company's subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains various covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions related to tangible net worth, net income, additional indebtedness, asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, creation of liens, and dividends on capital stock (other than stock dividends). As of October 1, 2000, outstanding borrowings totaled $110.0 million and standby letters of credit totaled $1.7 million. At October 1, 2000, approximately $1.5 million of additional debt existed from acquired companies. The weighted average interest rate on these outstanding borrowings at October 1, 2000 was 7.99%. This debt is primarily related to pre-acquisition borrowings to facilitate equipment purchases. The Company intends to repay these amounts prior to the end of their term and terminate all such agreements. 6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY In February 1999, the Company, along with certain selling stockholders, offered a total of 3,968,750 shares of its common stock through a public offering. The Company offered 1,250,000 shares and received approximately $22.2 million in net proceeds which were used for the partial repayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Company's revolving credit facility. In connection with the ENG and SGOC acquisitions, the Company issued an aggregate of 953,960 shares of exchangeable stock of its subsidiary, Tetra Tech Canada Ltd. (the "Exchangeable Shares"), a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. The Exchangeable Shares are non-voting but carry exchange rights under which a holder of Exchangeable Shares is entitled, at any time after five months from the date of issue of the Exchangeable Shares, to require the Company to redeem all or any part of the Exchangeable Shares for an amount per share equal to (a) the current market price of a share of the Company's common stock, which shall be satisfied in full by the Company's delivery to such holder of one share of its common stock for each Exchangeable Share presented and surrendered, plus (b) a dividend amount or dividend shares, if any. The Exchangeable Shares cannot be put back to the Company for cash. Pursuant to the Company's 1989 Stock Option Plan, key employees may be granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,192,090 shares of the Company's common stock at prices ranging from 85% to 100% of the market value on the date of grant. All options granted to date by the Company have been at 100% of the market value as determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant. These options 25 become exercisable beginning one year from date of grant, become fully vested in four years and terminate ten years from the date of grant. The Company also has a 1992 Incentive Stock Plan under which key employees may be granted options to purchase an aggregate of 5,761,718 shares of the Company's common stock at prices not less than the market value on the date of grant. From such date of grant, these options become exercisable after one year, are fully vested no later than five years after grant and terminate no later than ten years after grant. Pursuant to the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan for Nonemployee Directors, non-employee directors may be granted options to purchase an aggregate of 143,047 shares of the Company's common stock at prices not less than the market value on the date of grant. These options vest and become exercisable when, and only if, the optionee continues to serve as a director until the Annual Meeting following the year in which the options were granted. The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") which provides for the granting of Purchase Rights to purchase common stock to regular full and part-time employees or officers of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the Purchase Plan, shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of the Purchase Rights. Under the Purchase Plan, an aggregate of 1,098,632 shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Purchase Rights. The maximum amount that an employee can contribute during a Purchase Right Period is $4,000, and the minimum contribution per payroll period is $25. Under the Purchase Plan, the exercise price of a Purchase Right will be the lesser of 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the first day of the Purchase Right Period or 85% of the fair market value on the last day of the Purchase Right Period. For this purpose, the fair market value of the stock is its closing price as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the day in question.

RETIREMENT PLANS The Company and its subsidiaries have established defined contribution plans and 401(k) plans. Generally, employees are eligible to participate in the defined contribution plans upon completion of one year of service and in the 401(k) plans upon commencement of employment. For the fiscal years ended October 1, 2000, October 3, 1999 and October 4, 1998, employer contributions relating to the plans were approximately $7.2 million, $6.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively. 28 10. CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits typically filed against the engineering and consulting professions, primarily alleging professional errors or omissions. The Company carries professional liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and policy limits against such claims. Management is of the opinion that the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. 11. OPERATING SEGMENTS The Company's management has organized its operations into three operating segments: Resource Management, Infrastructure, and Communications. The Resource Management operating segment provides specialized environmental engineering and consulting services primarily relating to water quality and water availability to both public and private organizations. The Infrastructure operating segment provides engineering services to provide additional development, as well as upgrading and replacement of existing infrastructure to both public and private organizations. The Communications operating segment provides a comprehensive set of services including network planning, engineering, site acquisition, construction and construction management, and operations and maintenance services to telecommunications companies, wireless service providers and cable operators. Management has established these operating segments based upon the services provided, the different marketing strategies, and the specialized needs of the clients. The Company accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales and transfers were to third parties, that is, by applying a negotiated fee onto the cost of the services performed. Management evaluates the performance of these operating segments based upon their respective income from operations before the effect of any acquisition-related amortization and any fee from inter-segment sales and transfers.
