ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995
Project revenue for the first quarter of 1996 was $12,544,880, an increase of
88.2% or $5,879,351 from $ 6,665,529 for the first quarter of 1995 due to the
growth of the commercial business in all office locations. The composition
of revenues also changed between the first quarter of 1995 and the first
quarter of 1996. In the first quarter of 1995, 33.7% of total project revenue
or $2,244,083 was derived from one contract with the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency. In the first quarter of 1996, the revenue from this
contract was $1,978,534 or 15.8% of total project revenue.
Gross profit increased 66.8% between the first quarter of 1995 and the first
quarter of 1996. The improvement in the gross profit margin reflects an
increase in commercial business where the Company is able to obtain higher
gross profit margins. The Company's goal is to achieve an equal distribution
of revenues from government contracts and commercial contracts which should
produce both a better continuity of revenues and increased margin after direct
costs. Net income was $228,359 for the first quarter of 1996, a decrease of
40.2%, from $381,948 for the first quarter of 1995. This decrease resulted
from increases in both selling expenses and general and administrative
expenses as discussed in the following paragraphs.
Selling expenses for the first quarter of 1996 increased by $452,796 from the
first quarter of 1995 due to additional sales professionals resulting from
management's commitment to a formal sales/bid and proposal staff. Selling
expense was 6.5% of project revenues for the first quarter of 1996 and was
5.4% of project revenue for the first quarter of 1995.
General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1996 increased
by $457,432 from the first quarter of 1995 primarily due to increases in
personnel and insurance costs. General and administrative expenses were 6.3%
of project revenues for the first quarter of 1996 and 5.0% of project
revenues for the first quarter of 1995.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 increased $3,845 from the
first quarter of 1995. The increase is due primarily to borrowings from the
Company's line of credit and equipment loans.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which requires entities to calculate the fair value of stock
awards granted to employees. This statement provides entities with the
option of either electing to expense the fair value of employee stock-based
compensation or continuing to recognize compensation expense under existing
accounting pronouncements and to provide pro forma disclosures of net income
and, if presented, income per share, as if the above mentioned fair method of
accounting were used in determining compensation expense. Additionally, the
statement requires that all equity awards granted to nonemployees such as
suppliers of goods and services be recognized based on fair value. The
Company was required to adopt this statement during the first quarter of 1996
and has elected to account for employee stock compensation plans under the
existing accounting pronouncement, APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees."

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 1996, the Company was in a strong financial condition with
working capital of $7,713,300 as compared to working capital of $7,641,358 as
of December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily due to the receipt of
approximately $5,810,000 in net proceeds from the Company's initial public
offering, which was closed during July 1995, which enabled the Company to
decrease the overall amount of debt outstanding.
A total amount of $210,625 of the remaining balance of $682,425 of the
subordinated notes payable outstanding at December 31, 1995 was paid off at
the March 1, 1996 maturity date. The remaining balance $ 471,800 was rolled
over into new notes due in one year with interest payable monthly at 10
percent.
In March 1996, the Company established a $6,000,000 revolving line of credit
with Union Bank which replaced the previous banking relationship with
Comerica Bank. The new line of credit provides more favorable accounts
receivable flexibility and, coupled with the increased borrowing capacity, is
sufficient to satisfy the Company's immediate working capital requirements.
On February 9, 1996, the SEC declared effective a registration statement on
Form SB-2, which the Company had previously filed, to register 402,537 shares
of common stock for sale by certain stockholders ("Selling Shareholders")
which shares have been "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under
the Securities Act of 1933. None of the proceeds from the sale of the common
stock by the Selling Shareholders will be received by the Company.
Management believes that funds provided from operations and the short term
line of credit will be sufficient to fund the Company's immediate needs for
working capital. Management anticipates that capital expenditures in the
foreseeable future will be minimal and funded from working capital, and any
leases will be short term.
