BUSINESS We are an engineering services firm that provides a broad range of planning, design and program and construction management services. We provide these services in seven markets: surface transportation, air transportation, railroads/mass transit, industrial process/petrochemical, general building and facilities, water/wastewater and hazardous waste. We provide services to state, local and Federal government agencies, as well as private clients in the chemical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, forest products, energy, oil, gas, mining, healthcare, water supply, retail and commercial development, telecommunications and utilities industries. We conduct business through approximately 185 principal offices and have approximately 15,700 employees located throughout the world, including the United States, Europe and the Asia/Pacific region. Acquisitions Woodward-Clyde Group, Inc. In November 1997, we acquired privately-held Woodward-Clyde Group, Inc. of Denver, Colorado, a firm specializing in geotechnical and environmental engineering ("W-C"). For a discussion of the effect of the W-C acquisition upon our operations, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. Thorburn Colquhoun Holdings plc. In February 1999, we acquired privately-held Thorburn Colquhoun Holdings plc, a civil and structural engineering consulting firm based in the United Kingdom ("T-C"). For a discussion of the effect of the T-C acquisition upon our operations see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. Dames and Moore Group. In June 1999, we acquired publicly-held Dames and Moore Group, an engineering and construction services firm ("D-M"). For a discussion of the effect of the D-M acquisition upon our operations, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. Services We provide professional services in planning, design and program and construction management. Each of our offices is responsible for obtaining local or regional contracts, and multiple offices often work together to pursue large national or multi-national contracts. Because we can draw from our large and diverse network of professional and technical resources, we have the capability to market and perform large multi-disciplinary projects throughout the world. Planning. Planning covers a broad range of assignments ranging from conceptual design and technical and economic feasibility studies to community involvement programs and archaeological investigations. In many instances, we use the planning process to develop the blueprint, or overall scheme, for the project. We use planning analyses and reports to identify and evaluate alternatives, estimate usage levels, determine financial feasibility, assess available technology, ascertain economic and environmental impacts and recommend optimal courses of action. Projects can include master planning, land use planning, feasibility studies, transportation planning, zoning, permitting and compliance with applicable regulations. Design. Our professionals provide a broad range of design and design-related services. Representative services include architectural and interior design and civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, sanitary, environmental, water resources, geotechnical/underground, dam, mining and seismic engineering design. For each project, we identify the project requirements and then integrate and coordinate the various design elements. The result is a set of contract documents that may include plans, specifications and cost estimates that are used to build a project. These documents detail design characteristics and set 1 forth for the contractor the material it should use and the schedule for construction. Other critical tasks in the design process may include value analysis and the assessment of construction and maintenance requirements. Program and Construction Management. Our program and construction management services include master scheduling of both the design and construction phases, construction and life-cycle cost estimating, cash flow analysis, value engineering, constructability reviews, environmental and specialized engineering and construction and bid management. Once construction has begun, we oversee and coordinate the activities of construction contractors. This frequently involves acting as the owner's representative for on-site supervision and inspection of the contractor's work. In this role, our objective is to monitor a project's schedule, cost and quality. In addition, we act as the general contractor or sub-contractor on demolition and environmental contracts wherein we take responsibility for contractor's risk and methods. These construction projects account for approximately 10% of our revenues. Markets Our strategy is to focus on the infrastructure market which includes surface, air and rail transportation systems, industrial process/petrochemical and facilities projects and environmental programs involving water/wastewater and hazardous waste management. We perform our business development and sales activities primarily at our network of offices around the world. In addition, we coordinate national and global marketing efforts on large projects and for multi-national clients on a company-wide basis. Surface Transportation. We provide a full range of services for all types of surface transportation systems and networks, including highways, interchanges, bridges, tunnels, toll facilities, intelligent transportation systems, parking facilities and ports and marine structures. Historically, we have emphasized the design of new transportation systems, but in recent years we have focused on the rehabilitation of existing systems. Air Transportation. We provide comprehensive services for the development of new airports and the modernization and expansion of existing facilities. Assignments have included terminals, hangars, air cargo buildings, runways, taxiways, aprons, air traffic control towers and baggage, communications, security and fueling systems, as well as supporting infrastructure such as people mover systems, roadways, parking garages and utilities. We have completed projects at both general aviation and large-hub international airports. We have played a major role in the expansion and modernization of existing airports as well as the development of new facilities worldwide. We have completed assignments at more than 250 airports worldwide. Rail. In this market, we serve freight and passenger railroads and urban mass transit agencies. We have planned, designed and managed the construction of commuter rail systems, freight rail systems, heavy and light rail transit systems and high speed rail. Our specialized expertise in transportation structures, including terminals, stations, parking facilities, bridges, tunnels, power, signals and communications systems complements these capabilities. Industrial Process. We provide full-service capabilities for industrial process markets. We provide expertise in facility siting and permitting, environmental management and pollution control, waste management and remediation engineering, process engineering and design and property redevelopment. Facilities. Our architects and engineers specialize in the design of new buildings and the rehabilitation and expansion of existing facilities. The facility design practice covers a broad range of building types, including facilities for education, criminal justice, healthcare, commerce, industry, government, the military, transportation, sports and recreation. With the increased interest in historic preservation, adaptive reuse and seismic safety, a significant portion of our practice focuses on facility assessments, code and structural evaluations and renovation projects to maintain aging building infrastructure. Water/Wastewater. We provide services for the planning, design and construction of all types of water and wastewater facilities to ensure that the quality and quantity of the world's water supply is maintained. Services include water quality studies, new and expanded water supply, storage, distribution, 2 and treatment systems, municipal wastewater treatment plants and sewer systems, watershed and stormwater management and flood control. We also respond to this market with specialized expertise in the design and seismic retrofit of earth, rockfill and roller-compacted concrete dams, as well as the design of reservoirs, impoundments, including mine tailings disposal, and large outfall structures. Hazardous Waste Management. In this market, we conduct initial site investigations, design remedial actions for site clean-up and provide construction management services during site clean-up. This market involves identifying and developing measures to dispose of hazardous and toxic waste effectively at contaminated sites. We also provide air quality monitoring and design modifications required to meet national and local air quality standards. This work requires specialized knowledge of, and compliance with, complex applicable regulations, as well as the permitting and approval processes. Clients We provide our services to a broad range of clients, including state, local and municipal agencies, the Federal government and private sector businesses. Our state and local government clients include approximately 40 state departments of transportation, water utilities, local power generators, waste water treatment agencies, environmental protection agencies, schools and colleges, law enforcement, judiciary, hospitals and healthcare providers. We provide services to Federal agencies, including the Army, Environmental Protection Agency, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, United States Postal Service and Department of Energy. Our private sector clients include retail and commercial, petro-chemical, food, telecommunications, oil and gas, power, semi-conductor, transportation, technology, public utility, mining and forest products entities. For the five years ended October 31, 1999, our revenues were attributed to the following categories: 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 --------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- -------------------- (Dollars in thousands) Domestic: Local and state agencies ......... $ 480,922 34% $346,072 43% $255,423 63% $198,472 65% $ 99,871 56% Federal agencies .... 235,039 17 116,340 14 67,042 17 64,226 21 58,751 33 Private businesses 558,314 39 288,067 36 83,986 20 42,772 14 21,147 11 International ...... 144,247 10 55,467 7 -- -- -- -- -- -- ---------- --- -------- --- -------- --- -------- --- -------- --- Total ............ $1,418,522 100% $805,946 100% $406,451 100% $305,470 100% $179,769 100% ========== === ======== === ======== === ======== === ======== === International Business We currently derive approximately 10% of our revenues from international operations. Our focus is to provide a range of services to local and national governmental units and private sector businesses, both domestic and multi-national. The markets we serve are primarily industrial process/petrochemical, facilities, hazardous waste and surface transportation. Our international business is primarily located in the United Kingdom, Western Europe and the Asia/Pacific region, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the Philippines. Contract Pricing and Terms of Engagement We earn our revenues from cost-plus, fixed price and time-and-materials contracts. Cost-Plus Contracts. Under our cost-plus contracts, we charge clients negotiated rates based on our direct and indirect costs. Labor costs and subcontractor services are the principal components of our direct costs. Federal Acquisition Regulations, which are applicable to all Federal government contracts and which are partially incorporated in many local and state agency contracts, limit the recovery of certain specified indirect costs on contracts subject to such regulations. In negotiating a cost-plus contract, we estimate all recoverable direct and indirect costs and then add a profit component, which is either a percentage of total recoverable costs or a fixed negotiated fee, to arrive at a total dollar estimate for the project. We receive payment based on the total actual number of labor hours expended. If the actual total number of labor hours is lower than estimated, the revenues from that project will be lower than estimated. If the actual labor hours expended exceed the initial negotiated amount, we must obtain a 3 contract modification to receive payment for such overage. Our profit margin will increase to the extent we are able to reduce actual costs below the estimates used to produce the negotiated fixed prices on contracts not covered by Federal Acquisition Regulations. Conversely, our profit margin will decrease and we may realize a loss on the project if we do not control costs and exceed the overall estimates used to produce the negotiated fixed price. Cost-plus contracts covered by Federal Acquisition Regulations and certain state and local agencies require an audit of actual costs and provide for upward or downward adjustments if actual recoverable costs differ from billed recoverable costs. 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, we make 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 number of labor hours and other costs are below the contracted amounts. The profit margin will decrease and we may realize a loss on the project if the number of labor hours required and other costs exceed the estimates. 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 the 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. Backlog, Project Designations and Indefinite Delivery Contracts Our contract backlog was $1,260 million at October 31, 1999, compared to $675 million at October 31, 1998. Our contract backlog consists of the amount billable at a particular point in time for future services under signed and funded contracts. We include indefinite delivery contracts, which are executed contracts requiring the issuance of task orders, in contract backlog only to the extent the task orders are actually issued and funded. Of the contract backlog of $1,260 million at October 31, 1999, we expect to fill approximately 70%, or approximately $880 million, within the next fiscal year ending October 31, 2000. Customers also have designated us as the recipient of future contracts. These "designations" are projects that customers have awarded to us but for which we do not have signed contracts. We include in designations task orders under executed indefinite delivery contracts which we expect clients to issue in the immediate future. We estimated total contract designations to be $775 million at October 31, 1999, as compared to $504 million at October 31, 1998. Typically, a significant portion of designations are converted into signed contracts. However, we cannot provide any assurance that this experience will continue to occur in the future. 4 Indefinite delivery contracts are signed contracts pursuant to which we perform work only when the client issues specific task orders. Generally these contracts exceed one year and often indicate a maximum term and potential value. Certain indefinite delivery contracts are for a definite time period with renewal option periods at the client's discretion. While we believe that we will continue to get work under these contracts over their entire term, because of renewals and the necessity for issuance of individual task orders, we cannot assure you of continued work by us and the realization of the potential maximum values under these contracts. However, because of the increasing frequency with which our government and private sector clients use this contracting method, we believe the potential value should be disclosed along with backlog and designations as an indicator of our future business. When the client notifies us of the scope and pricing of task orders, we add the estimated value of such task orders to designations. When such task orders are signed and funded, we put their value into backlog. As of October 31, 1999, the potential values of our five largest indefinite delivery contracts were as follows: Total Estimated Potential Estimated Remaining Contract Term Values Revenue Backlog Designations Values - ---------------------- ----------- ---------- -------------- --------- -------------- --------- (In millions) USAF-AFCEE(1) ...... 1997-2002 $ 200.0 $ 23.9 $ 16.2 $ -- $ 159.9 MRS OAMS(2) ......... 1997-2003 150.0 1.0 6.5 -- 142.5 METRIC(3) ......... 1997-2004 190.0 5.6 4.3 -- 180.1 METRIC(4) ......... 1996-2003 190.0 6.1 5.9 -- 178.0 EPA RAC 9(5) ...... 1998-2008 140.0 2.5 1.7 2.7 133.1 ------- ------ ------ ---- ------- Total ............ $ 870.0 $ 39.1 $ 34.6 $2.7 $ 793.6 ======= ====== ====== ==== ======= - ------------ <FN> The names of the clients and the complete titles of the contracts listed in the table above are: (1) Department of the Air Force, Remedial Design.

(5) United States Environmental Protection Agency, Response Action Contract, Region 9. </FN> Competition Our industry is highly fragmented and very competitive. As a result, in each specific market area, we compete with many engineering and consulting firms, some of which are substantially larger than us and possess greater financial resources. No firm currently dominates any significant portion of our market areas. Competition is based on quality of service, expertise, price, reputation, and local presence, or the ability to provide services globally. We believe that we compete favorably with respect to each of these factors in the market areas we serve. Regulation Our professional services include the planning, design, program and construction management and, under limited circumstances, construction of waste management and pollution control facilities. Federal laws, such as CERCLA, the Clean Water Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, and various state and local laws strictly regulate the handling, removal, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of toxic and hazardous substances and impose liability for environmental contamination caused by these substances. These laws and regulations are directly related to the demand for many of the services we offer. While generally we do not directly handle, remove, store, treat, transport or dispose of toxic or hazardous substances, some of our contracts require us to design systems for those functions or to subcontract for or supervise this type of work. Consequently, we may be exposed to claims for damages or penalties caused by environmental contamination arising from projects on which we have worked. In the ordinary course of business, we and members of our professional staff are subject to a variety of state, local and foreign licensing and permit requirements. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with these regulations. 5 Insurance Currently, we have limits of $100 million per loss and $100 million in the annual aggregate for general liability, professional errors and omissions liability, and contractor's pollution liability insurance. These programs each have a self-insured claim retention of $0.1 million, $1.0 million, and $0.25 million, respectively. In respect of D-M claims arising from professional errors and omissions prior to acquisition, we have maintained a self insured retention of $5 million per claim. We believe that our claim reserves combined with our insurance coverage will be adequate for our present and reasonable foreseeable operations. We have no reason to believe that adequate coverage will not continue to be available, but we cannot assure that it will be. We also cannot assure that our liabilities will not exceed the policy limits. However we have maintained insurance without lapse for many years with limits in excess of losses sustained. Employees As of October 31, 1999, we had approximately 15,700 employees in total. We employ, at various times on a temporary or part-time basis, up to several thousand persons to meet contractual requirements. Approximately three hundred sixty of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We have never experienced a strike or work stoppage. We believe that employee relations are good. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES We lease office space in 185 principal locations throughout the world. Most of the leases are written for a minimum term of three years with options for renewal, sublease rights and allowances for improvements. Our significant lease agreements expire at various dates through the year 2007. We believe that our current facilities are sufficient for the operation of our business and that suitable additional space in various local markets is available to accommodate any needs that may arise. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Various legal proceedings are pending against us or our subsidiaries alleging, among other things, breaches of contract or negligence in connection with our performance of professional services. In some actions, parties are seeking damages, including punitive or treble damages, which substantially exceed our insurance coverage. As our experience is that most legal proceedings settle for less than any claimed damages, we do not believe that any of these proceedings are likely to result in a judgment against, or settlement by, us materially exceeding our insurance coverage or to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and operations. 6 ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS We held a special meeting of stockholders on October 12, 1999. Our stockholders voted on the following matters: The approval of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 20,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares and to increase the authorized number of shares of preferred stock from 1,000,000 shares to 3,000,000 shares. 9,738,302 votes were cast in favor of the amendment, 3,422,340 votes were cast against.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview We are an engineering services firm, with domestic and international clients that include local, state and Federal government agencies and private clients in a broad array of industries. Revenues are earned from fixed-price, cost-plus and time-and-materials contracts. We recognize revenues by the percentage completion method, based primarily on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. The principal components of our direct operating costs are labor costs for employees who are directly involved in providing services to clients and subcontractor costs. Other direct operating expenses also include those expenses associated with a specific design project including materials and incidental expenditures. Indirect, general and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits for management, administrative, marketing and sales personnel, bid and proposal costs and occupancy and related overhead costs. Substantially all of our cash flow is generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet our debt service obligations are provided in large part by distributions to or advances from our subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions as well as the financial condition and operating requirements of the subsidiaries may limit our ability to obtain cash from the subsidiaries. Results of Operations Fiscal 1999 Compared with Fiscal 1998 Revenues in fiscal 1999 were $1,418.5 million, or 76% over the amount reported in fiscal 1998. The growth in revenues is primarily attributable to the acquisition and integration of D-M, the results of which are included commencing June 1999. Accordingly, in fiscal 1999, the results of operations of D-M were included for only five months. Direct operating expenses increased $375.9 million, or 79%, over the amount reported in fiscal 1998. The increase is due to the addition of the direct operating expenses of D-M and to increases in subcontractor costs and direct labor costs as well. Indirect, general and administrative expenses ("IG&A") increased to $463.1 million in fiscal 1999 from $277.1 million in fiscal 1998 as a result of the addition of the D-M overhead as well as an increase in business activity. IG&A expenses in 1999 also include $6.0 million in fees incurred in connection with the acquisition of D-M. Finally, IG&A included a $4.0 million reversal of a previously established reserve related to a settlement of a lawsuit. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, IG&A expenses decreased slightly from 34% in fiscal 1998 to 33% in fiscal 1999. We attribute this stability to cost control. Net interest expense increased to $34.6 million in fiscal 1999 from $8.8 million in fiscal 1998 as a result of increased borrowings incurred in connection with the acquisition of D-M. With an effective income tax rate of 45% in 1999, we earned net income available for common stockholders of $33.2 million while in 1998 net income available for common stockholders was $22.7 million after an effective income tax rate of 45%. We earned $1.98 per share on a diluted basis in fiscal 1999 compared to $1.43 per share in fiscal 1998. Our backlog of signed and funded contracts at October 31, 1999, was $1,260 million as compared to $675 million at October 31, 1998. The value of our designations was $775 million at October 31, 1999, as compared to $504 million at October 31, 1998. Fiscal 1998 Compared with Fiscal 1997 Revenues in fiscal 1998 were $805.9 million, or 98% over the amount reported in fiscal 1997. The growth in revenues is primarily attributable to the acquisition of W-C, the results of which are included commencing November 1, 1997. Direct operating expenses increased $237.6 million, or 99%, over the amount reported in fiscal 1997. The increase is due to the addition of the direct operating expenses of W-C and to increases in subcontractor costs and direct labor costs as well. IG&A expenses increased to $277.1 million in fiscal 1998 from 11 $141.4 million in fiscal 1997 as a result of the addition of the W-C overhead as well as an increase in business activity. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, IG&A expenses decreased slightly from 35% in fiscal 1997 to 34% in fiscal 1998. We attribute this stability to cost control. Net interest expense increased to $8.8 million in fiscal 1998 from $4.8 million in fiscal 1997 as a result of increased borrowings incurred in connection with the acquisition of W-C. With an effective income tax rate of 45% in 1998, we earned net income of $22.7 million while in 1997 net income was $11.5 million after an effective income tax rate of 40%. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the consolidation of W-C and to nondeductible goodwill, state taxes, and operating in countries outside the United States with higher tax rates. We earned $1.43 per share on a diluted basis in fiscal 1998 compared to $1.08 per share in fiscal 1997. Our backlog of signed and funded contracts at October 31, 1998, was $675 million as compared to $470.4 million at October 31, 1997. The value of our designations was $504 million at October 31, 1998, as compared to $446 million at October 31, 1997. Income Taxes We currently have $3.8 million net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards which are limited to $750,000 per year, pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, related to our October 1989 quasi-reorganization. This NOL expires fiscal year beginning 2004. We also have available $17.3 million of foreign NOLs. These NOLs are available only to offset income earned in foreign jurisdictions and expire at various dates. We have recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities. The deferred tax liability increased primarily because of nondeductible goodwill and other liabilities related to the acquisition of D-M. The valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets was increased by $1.7 million resulting from the D-M and T-C acquisitions and by $1.2 million for current year foreign losses not benefited. In addition, the valuation allowance was decreased by $260,000 due to the utilization of net operating losses. Liquidity and Capital Resources At October 31, 1999, we had working capital of $359.1 million, an increase of $228.1 million from October 31, 1998, due primarily to the D-M acquisition. Our operating cash flow and working capital requirements have grown substantially due to our acquisition growth strategy. As a professional services organization, we are not capital intensive. Capital expenditures historically have been for computer-aided design and general purpose computer equipment to accommodate our growth. Capital expenditures during fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $20.2 million, $12.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively. We expect to continue to have capital outlays consistent with the resulting relative growth of the Company. Substantially all of our cash flow is generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet our debt service obligations are provided in large part by distributions to or advances from our subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions as well as the financial condition and reporting requirements of the subsidiaries may limit our ability to obtain cash from the subsidiaries. Our liquidity and capital measurements are set forth below: Years Ended October 31, -------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 ---------- ---------- ---------- (Dollars in thousands) Working capital ..................... $359,087 $130,969 $63,236 Working capital ratio ............... 1.9 to 1 1.8 to 1 1.7 to 1 Average days to convert billed accounts receivable to cash .................. 75 72 71 Percentage of debt to equity ......... 220.3% 69.7% 62.2% Our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $36.5 million at October 31, 1998, an increase of $14.4 million from the prior fiscal year-end, principally as a result of the increase in cash generated by domestic operations. During fiscal year 1998, we repaid debt of $83.2 million, including scheduled principal payments on long-term debt of $12.3 million and loan payoffs of $65.2 million. We also funded other operating requirements. 12 Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $45.7 million at October 31, 1999, an increase of $9.2 million from the prior fiscal year-end, principally as a result of the increase in cash generated by domestic operations. During fiscal 1999, cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $8.8 million. This represented a decrease of $32.0 million from 1998, primarily due to funding working capital required to support the expansion of our business as well as an increase in accounts receivable due to the installation of a new accounting system. This caused a delay in billings which resulted in a corresponding decrease in cash provided by operating activities. The majority of the operating cash flow was generated by domestic operations. Our working capital has increased primarily due to the acquisitions of D-M and W-C. We intend to satisfy our working capital needs primarily through internal cash generation. Our primary sources of liquidity will be cash flow from operations and borrowings under the senior collateralized credit facility. Our primary uses of cash will be to fund our working capital and capital expenditures and to service our debt. During fiscal 1999, we paid $376.2 million for the purchase of D-M, and incurred new borrowings of $650 million from establishing a long-term senior collateralized credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("the Bank") and from the issuance of the 12 1/4% senior subordinated notes ("Notes"). We also issued 46,082.95 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and 450,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock to RCBA Strategic Partners, L.P. for an aggregate consideration of $100 million. The net proceeds of the debt were incurred to fund a portion of the D-M acquisition and refinance bank debt previously incurred in the acquisition of W-C. Senior collateralized credit facility. The senior collateralized credit facility was funded June 9, 1999 ("Funding Date") and provides for three term loan facilities in the aggregate amount of $450 million and a revolving credit facility in the amount of $100 million. The term loan facilities consist of Term Loan A, a $250 million tranche, Term Loan B, a $100 million tranche and Term Loan C, another $100 million tranche. Principal amounts under Term Loan A became due, commencing on October 31, 1999, in the amount of approximately $3.0 million per quarter for the following four quarters. Thereafter and through the sixth anniversary of the Funding Date, annual principal payments under Term Loan A range from $25.0 million to a maximum of $62.5 million with Term Loan A expiring and the then-outstanding principal amount becoming due and repayable in full on the sixth anniversary of the Funding Date. Principal amounts under Term Loan B become due, commencing on October 31, 1999, in the amount of $1.0 million in each year through July 31, 2005, with Term Loan B expiring and the then-outstanding principal amount becoming due and repayable in full in four equal quarterly installments in year seven. Principal amounts under Term Loan C become due, commencing on October 31, 1999, in the amount of $1.0 million in each year through July 31, 2006, with Term Loan C expiring and the then-outstanding principal amount becoming due and repayable in full in equal quarterly installments in year eight. The revolving credit facility expires, and is repayable in full, on the sixth anniversary of the Funding Date. The term loans each bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either the Base Rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin. The revolving credit facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either the Base Rate, LIBOR or the Adjusted Sterling Rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin adjusts according to a performance pricing grid based on our ratio of Consolidated Total Funded Debt to Consolidated Earnings Before Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"). The "Base Rate" is defined as the higher of the Bank's Prime Rate and the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. "LIBOR" is defined as the offered quotation by first class banks in the London interbank market to the Bank for dollar deposits, as adjusted for reserve requirements. The "Adjusted Sterling Rate" is defined as the rate per annum displayed by Reuters at which Sterling is offered to the Bank in the London interbank market as determined by the British Bankers' Association. We may determine which interest rate options to use and interest periods will apply for such periods for both term loans and the revolving credit facility. At October 31, 1999, our revolving credit facility with the Bank provides for advances up to $100 million. Also at October 31, 1999, we had outstanding letters of credit aggregating $40.0 million, which reduced the amount available to us under our revolving credit facility to $60.0 million. 13 The senior collateralized credit facility is governed by affirmative and negative covenants. These covenants include restrictions upon incurring additional debt, paying dividends, or making distributions to our stockholders, repurchasing or retiring capital stock, making subordinated junior debt payments and submitting quarterly compliance certification. The financial covenants include maintenance of a minimum current ratio of 1.20 to 1.00, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00, a proforma EBITDA minimum of $142 million and a maximum leverage ratio of 4.75 to 1.00 for the year ended October 31, 1999. We were fully compliant with these covenants as of October 31, 1999. We believe that our existing financial resources, together with our planned cash flow from operations and its existing credit facilities, will provide sufficient resources to fund its combined operations and capital expenditure needs for the foreseeable future. 12 1/4% senior subordinated notes. Our Notes are due in 2009. Each note will initially bear interest at 12 1/4% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing November 1, 1999. The Notes are subordinate to the senior collateralized credit facility. As of October 31, 1999, we owed $200 million on our Notes. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries. We may redeem any of the Notes beginning May 1, 2004. The initial redemption price is 106.125% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price will decline each year after 2004 and will be 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest beginning on May 1, 2007. In addition, at any time prior to May 1, 2002, we may redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the Notes with net cash proceeds from the sale of capital stock. The redemption price will be equal to 112.25% of the principal amount of the redeemed Notes. Interest Rate Swaps. We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Bank. This interest rate swap effectively fixes the interest rate on $8.5 million of our LIBOR based borrowings at 6.92% plus the applicable margin through April 30, 2000. The actual borrowing cost to us with respect to indebtedness covered by the interest rate swap will depend upon the applicable margin over LIBOR for such indebtedness, which will be determined by the terms of the relevant debt instruments. Currently, it is expected that the contractual margin will range from 2.75% to 3.50%, which will provide for an all-in annual interest rate range from 9.67% to 10.42%. We have entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement with the Bank. This interest rate swap effectively fixes the interest rate on $45.8 million of our LIBOR based borrowings at 5.97% plus the applicable margin through January 31, 2001. The actual borrowing cost to us with respect to indebtedness covered by the interest rate swap will depend upon the applicable margin over LIBOR for such indebtedness, which will be determined by the terms of the relevant debt instruments. Currently, it is expected that the contractual margin will range from 2.75% to 3.50%, which will provide for an all-in annual interest rate range from 8.72% to 9.47%. Interest Rate Cap Agreements. We entered into two interest rate cap agreements with the Bank. These agreements cap our interest rate at 7% for $161.5 million and $9.2 million of our LIBOR based borrowings through July 31, 2002, and April 30, 2000, respectively. The following table represents cash paid during the period for: Years Ended October 31, -------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 --------- --------- -------- (In thousands) Interest ......... $24,903 $ 7,857 $5,181 Income taxes ...... $22,562 $18,398 $8,780 Other related party transactions. On February 12, 1997, the Bank exercised the 435,562 warrants held by the Bank at $4.34 per share, resulting in the issuance of an additional 435,562 shares to the Bank and additional paid-in capital of approximately $1.9 million. On February 14, 1997, various partnerships managed by BLUM Capital Partners, L.P. ("BLUM") (formerly Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P.) exercised the 1,383,586 warrants held by such entities at $4.34 per share. The exercise price of these warrants was paid by a combination of cash and the cancellation of the $3.0 million face amount of debt 14 drawn under our then line of credit with certain BLUM entities. The line of credit with certain BLUM entities was then cancelled. The exercise resulted in the issuance of an additional 1,383,586 shares to the BLUM entities and additional paid-in capital of approximately $5.0 million. Mr. Koffel and Mr. Ainsworth have disposed of shares of our Common Stock in connection with cashless exercises of stock options and payment of withholding taxes due on such exercises and on the grant and vesting of restricted stock, and we have accepted this stock as payment therefor. The cashless exercise of stock options resulted in a charge of $1.7 million which is included in IG&A for the year ended October 31, 1999. Mr. Koffel, Mr. Ainsworth and other executives may continue to dispose of shares of our Common Stock in such manner and for such purposes. Acquisitions In November 1997, we acquired W-C for Common Stock, cash and debt of $132.4 million.

This consists of project claims and cost over-runs, lease fees, severance and miscellaneous items. This estimate might increase due to additional expenses directly related to the transaction not identified as of October 31, 1999. The following table summarizes the activity in the 1999 D-M merger-related accruals during the year ended October 31, 1999. The balance of the accrual at October 31, 1999, is included in Accrued Expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.

This consisted of project claims, lease fees, severance and miscellaneous items. The following table summarizes the activity in the W-C merger-related accruals during the year ended October 31, 1999. The balance of the accrual at October 31, 1999, is included in Accrued Expenses on the consolidated balance sheet. Merger- Balance Related October 31, Accruals Payments 1999 ---------- -------------- ----------- (In millions) Project claims .................. $ 2.2 $ -- $ 2.2 Severance and related costs ...... 3.9 (3.9) -- Lease termination fees ............ 1.5 (0.6) 0.9 Miscellaneous expenses ............ 3.2 (3.2) -- ------ ------ ------ Total ........................... $10.8 $ (7.7) $ 3.1 ====== ====== ====== Risk Factors That Could Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, the following factors could affect our actual results: We may not be able to integrate D-M successfully and achieve anticipated cost savings and other benefits from the D-M acquisition. We will achieve the efficiencies, cost reductions and other benefits that we expect to result from the D-M acquisition only if we can successfully integrate each company's administrative, finance, technical and marketing organizations, and implement appropriate operations, financial and management systems and controls. The integration of D-M into our operations will involve a number of risks, including: * the possible diversion of our management's attention from other business concerns; * the potential inability to successfully pursue some or all of the anticipated revenue opportunities associated with the D-M acquisition; * the possible loss of D-M's or our key professional employees; * the potential inability to successfully replicate our operating efficiencies in D-M's operations; * insufficient management resources to accomplish the integration; * our increased complexity and diversity compared to our operations prior to the D-M acquisition; * the possible negative reaction of clients to the D-M acquisition; and * unanticipated problems or legal liabilities. The occurrence of any of the above events, as well as any other difficulties which may be encountered in the transition and integration process, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition. We are a highly leveraged company. As of October 31, 1999, we had approximately $688 million of outstanding indebtedness following consummation of the D-M acquisition and the related financing plan. This level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including the following: * it may limit our ability to borrow money or sell stock for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other purposes; 16 * it may limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business; * we could be more highly leveraged than some of our competitors, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage; * it may make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business or the economy; and * a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations could be dedicated to the repayment of our indebtedness and would not be available for other purposes. To service our indebtedness we will require a significant amount of cash. The ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control. Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service and working capital requirements, we may need to seek additional financing or sell assets. This need may make it more difficult for us to obtain financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Without this financing, we could be forced to sell assets to make up for any shortfall in our payment obligations under unfavorable circumstances. Our senior collateralized credit facility and our obligations under the Notes limit our ability to sell assets and also restrict the use of proceeds from any such sale. Moreover, the senior collateralized credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets. Furthermore, a substantial portion of our assets are, and may continue to be, intangible assets. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our assets could be sold quickly enough or for sufficient amounts to enable us to meet our debt obligations. Restrictive covenants in our senior collateralized credit facility and the indenture relating to the Notes may restrict our ability to pursue business strategies. Our senior collateralized credit facility and indenture relating to the Notes restrict our ability, among other things, to: * incur additional indebtedness or contingent obligations; * pay dividends or make distributions to our stockholders; * repurchase or redeem our stock; * make investments; * grant liens; * make capital expenditures; * enter into transactions with our stockholders and affiliates; * sell assets; and * acquire the assets of, or merge or consolidate with, other companies. In addition, our senior collateralized credit facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios. We may not be able to maintain these ratios. Additionally, covenants in the senior collateralized credit facility and the indenture relating to the Notes may impair our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other favorable business activities. If we default under our various debt obligations, the lenders could require immediate repayment of the entire principal. If the lenders require immediate repayment, we will not be able to repay them, and our inability to meet our debt obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We derive approximately half of our revenues from contracts with government agencies. Any disruption in government funding or in our relationship with those agencies could adversely affect our business and our ability to meet our debt obligations. We derive approximately half of our revenues from local, state and Federal government agencies. The demand for our services will be directly related to the level of government program funding that is 17 allocated to rebuild and expand the nation's infrastructure. We believe that the success and further development of our business depend upon the continued funding of these government programs and upon our ability to participate in these government programs. We cannot assure you that governments will have the available resources to fund these programs, that these programs will continue to be funded even if governments have available financial resources, or that we will continue to win government contracts under these or other programs. Some of these government contracts are subject to renewal or extension annually, so we cannot assure you of our continued work under these contracts in the future. Unsuccessful bidders may protest or challenge the award of these contracts. In addition, government agencies can terminate these contracts at their convenience. Consequently, we may incur costs in connection with the termination of these contracts. Also, contracts with government agencies are subject to substantial regulation and an audit of actual costs incurred. Consequently, there may be a downward adjustment in our revenues if actual recoverable costs exceed billed recoverable costs. We must maintain our present responsibility to be eligible to perform government contracts. From time to time allegations of improper conduct in connection with government contracting have been made against us and these could be the subject of suspension or debarment consideration. We investigate all such allegations thoroughly and believe that appropriate actions have been taken in all cases. Additionally, we maintain a compliance program in an effort to assure that no improper conduct occurs in connection with government contracting. We may be unable to estimate accurately our cost in performing services for our clients. This may cause us to have low profit margins or incur losses. We submit proposals on projects with an estimate of the costs we will likely incur. To the extent we cannot control overhead, general and administrative and other costs, or underestimate such costs, we may have low profit margins or may incur losses. We are subject to risks from changes in environmental legislation, regulation and governmental policies. Federal laws, such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, ("CERCLA"), and various state and local laws, strictly regulate the handling, removal, treatment and transportation of toxic and hazardous substances and impose liability for environmental contamination caused by such substances. Moreover, so-called "toxic tort" litigation has increased markedly in recent years as people injured by hazardous substances seek recovery for personal injuries or property damage. We directly handle, remove, treat and transport toxic or hazardous substances. Consequently, we may be exposed to claims for damages caused by environmental contamination. Federal and state laws, regulations, and programs related to environmental issues will generate, either directly or indirectly, much of our environmental business. Accordingly, a reduction of these laws and regulations, or changes in governmental policies regarding the funding, implementation or enforcement of these programs, could have a material effect on our business. Environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies remained essentially unchanged during fiscal year 1999, including further deferral of congressional reauthorization of CERCLA. The outlook for congressional action on CERCLA legislation in fiscal year 2000 remains unclear. Our liability for damages due to legal proceedings may be significant. Our insurance may not be adequate to cover this risk. Various legal proceedings are pending against us alleging, among other things, breaches of contract or negligence in connection with our performance of professional services. In some actions punitive or treble damages are sought which substantially exceed our insurance coverage. If we sustain damages greater than our insurance coverage, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our engineering practices, including general engineering and civil engineering services, involve professional judgments about the nature of soil conditions and other physical conditions, including the 18 extent to which toxic and hazardous materials are present, and about the probable effect of procedures to mitigate problems or otherwise affect those conditions. If the judgments and the recommendations based upon those judgments are incorrect, we may be liable for resulting damages that our clients incur. The failure to attract and retain key professional personnel could adversely affect our business. The ability to attract, retain and expand our staff of qualified technical professionals will be an important factor in determining our future success. A shortage of qualified technical professionals currently exists in the engineering and design industry. The market for these professionals is competitive, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in our efforts to continue to attract and retain such professionals. In addition, we will rely heavily upon the experience and ability of our senior executive staff and the loss of a significant number of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may be unable to compete successfully in our industry. This could adversely affect our business. We are engaged in highly fragmented and very competitive markets in our service areas. We will compete with firms of various sizes, several of which are substantially larger than us and which possess greater technical resources. Furthermore, the engineering and design industry is undergoing consolidation, particularly in the United States. As a result, we will compete against several larger companies which have the ability to offer more diverse services to a wider client base. These competitive forces could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our international operations are subject to a number of risks that could adversely affect the results from these operations and our overall business. As a worldwide provider of engineering services, we have operations in over 40 countries and derive approximately 10% of our revenues from international operations. International business is subject to the customary risks associated with international transactions, including political risks, local laws and taxes, the potential imposition of trade or currency exchange restrictions, tariff increases and difficulties or delays in collecting accounts receivable. Weak foreign economies and/or a weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additional acquisitions may adversely affect our ability to manage our business. Historically, we have completed numerous acquisitions and, in implementing our business strategy, we may continue to do so in the future. We cannot assure you that we will identify, finance and complete additional suitable acquisitions on acceptable terms. We may not successfully integrate future acquisitions. Any acquisitions may require substantial attention from our management, which may limit the amount of time that management can devote to day-to-day operations. Also, future acquisitions could have an adverse effect on us. Our inability to find additional attractive acquisition candidates or to effectively manage the integration of any businesses acquired in the future could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Year 2000 computer problems may adversely affect our business. Many installed computer systems and software products were programmed to accept only two digits in the date code field. As of January 1, 2000, these date code fields needed to accept four digit entries to distinguish years beginning with "19" from those beginning with "20". Otherwise computer systems using time-sensitive software could shut down or perform incorrect computations. We undertook a project (the "Year 2000 Project") to identify and assess the readiness of our computer systems, programs and other infrastructure that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue and to remedy the problems identified. Our Year 2000 Project also included an assessment of the Year 2000 readiness of key third parties on whom our operations depend. We also developed contingency plans to permit us to continue operations, consistent with the highest quality standards, in the event Year 2000 problems arose. 19 To date, we have not experienced any material Year 2000 problems. However, monitoring will continue at least through the first quarter of 2000. Corrective action will be taken if we encounter any previously unidentified Year 2000 problems internally or in interfacing with third parties, and our contingency plans remain available. We have not incurred any material costs to date related to our Year 2000 Project, but if we encounter problems in the future related to our own systems or to those of key third parties, it is possible that we would incur costs that could adversely affect our financial condition. 20 ITEM 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS The Board of Directors and Stockholders of URS Corporation: In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of URS Corporation and its subsidiaries at October 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP --------------------------------- PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP San Francisco, California December 17, 1999 F-1 URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS (In thousands, except per share data) October 31, ---------------------------- 1999 1998 ------------ ------------- ASSETS Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents .................................................... $ 45,687 $ 36,529 Accounts receivable, including retainage amounts of $41,724 and $16,101, less allowance for doubtful accounts of $23,771 and $7,206 ................... 453,960 161,742 Costs and accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process, less allowance for losses of $16,840 and $6,896 .................................. 212,001 77,881 Deferred income taxes ....................................................... 10,005 -- Prepaid expenses and other assets ........................................... 24,111 10,033 ---------- -------- Total current assets ....................................................... 745,764 286,185 Property and equipment at cost, net ........................................... 93,165 29,517 Goodwill, net ................................................................... 529,697 129,748 Other assets ................................................................... 68,861 6,254 ---------- -------- $1,437,487 $451,704 ========== ======== LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Current liabilities: Long-term debt, current portion .............................................. $ 17,625 $ 16,400 Notes payable ................................................................ 17,040 1,943 Obligations under capital leases .............................................. 4,758 2,717 Accounts payable ............................................................. 130,045 34,519 Accrued salaries and wages ................................................. 89,023 34,797 Accrued expenses and other ................................................. 57,873 29,385 Billings in excess of costs and accrued earnings on contracts in process ................................................................ 70,313 35,455 ---------- -------- Total current liabilities ................................................. 386,677 155,216 Long-term debt ................................................................ 635,286 87,925 Obligations under capital leases ................................................. 13,671 7,032 Deferred income taxes .......................................................... 15,267 5,377 Deferred compensation and other ................................................. 76,084 29,794 ---------- -------- Total liabilities .......................................................... 1,126,985 285,344 ---------- -------- Commitments and contingencies (Note 11) Mandatorily redeemable Series B exchangeable convertible preferred stock, par value $1.00, authorized 150 shares, issued 48 and 0, respectively, liquidation preference $103,333 103,333 -- ---------- -------- Stockholders' equity: Common stock, par value $.01; authorized 50,000 shares; issued 15,925 and 15,206 shares, respectively ................................................. 159 152 Treasury stock .............................................................

ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business URS Corporation offers a broad range of planning, design, and program and construction management services for transportation, hazardous waste, industrial processing and petrochemical, general building and water/wastewater projects. Headquartered in San Francisco, the Company operates in 40 countries with approximately 15,700 employees providing engineering services to Federal, state and local governmental agencies as well as to private clients in the chemical, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, forest products, mining, oil and gas, and utilities industries. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of URS Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company includes in current assets and liabilities amounts realizable and payable under engineering and construction contracts that extend beyond one year. The consolidated financial statements account for the acquisitions of Woodward-Clyde Group, Inc. ("W-C") in November 1997, Thorburn Colquhoun Holdings, plc ("T-C") in February 1999, and Dames & Moore Group ("D-M") in June 1999, respectively, as purchases. See Note 3, Acquisitions. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition Revenue from contract services is recognized by the percentage-of-completion method and includes a proportion of the earnings expected to be realized on a contract in the ratio that costs incurred bear to estimated total costs. Revenue on cost reimbursable contracts is recorded as related contract costs are incurred and includes estimated earned fees in the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs. The fees under certain government contracts may be increased or decreased in accordance with cost or performance incentive provisions which measure actual performance against established targets or other criteria. Such incentive fee awards or penalties are included in revenue at the time the amounts can be reasonably determined. Revenue for additional contract compensation related to unpriced change orders is recorded when realization is probable. Revenue from claims by the Company for additional contract compensation is recorded when agreed to by the customer. If estimated total costs on any contract indicate a loss, the Company provides currently for the total loss anticipated on the contract. Costs under contracts with the United States Government are subject to government audit upon contract completion. Therefore, all contract costs, including direct and indirect, general and administrative expenses, are potentially subject to adjustment prior to final reimbursement. Management believes that adequate provision for such adjustments, if any, has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All overhead and general and administrative expense recovery rates for fiscal 1997 through fiscal 1999 are subject to review by the United States Government. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited F-6 URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --(Continued) due to the large numbers of customers comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different business and geographic areas. As of October 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses have been within management's expectations. Cash balances are held in financial institutions in concentrations that may exceed insured limits. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carrying amounts of certain of the Company's financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying values of long-term debt approximate fair value. Income Taxes The Company uses an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. Interest Rate Risk Management The Company has entered into various interest rate protection agreements (swap and cap) on $225 million of the Company's London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") bank term loan borrowings. The related cost of these agreements is amortized over the life of the bank term loan borrowings and such amortization is recorded to interest expense. The Company enters into interest rate risk management arrangements with financial institutions meeting certain minimum financial criteria, and the related credit risk of non-performance by counter-parties is not deemed to be significant. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. In the year assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is included in income. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method using estimated lives ranging from 5 to 10 years for property and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the length of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is less. Income Per Common Share The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), Earnings Per Share, effective November 1, 1997. SFAS 128 requires the presentation of basic and diluted income per common share. Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per common share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants for all periods and convertible preferred stock for the year ended October 31, 1999. F-7 URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --(Continued) In accordance with the disclosure requirement of SFAS 128, a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted income per common share is provided as follows (in thousands, except per share data): Years ended October 31, ----------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 ------- ------- ------- Numerator--Basic Net income available for common stockholders ...... $33,248 $22,667 $11,505 ======= ======= ======= Denominator--Basic Weighted-average common stock outstanding ......... 15,499 14,963 10,018 ======= ======= ======= Basic income per share $ 2.14 $ 1.51 $ 1.15 ======= ======= ======= Numerator--Diluted Net income available for common stockholders ...... $33,248 $22,667 $11,505 Preferred stock dividend ........................... 3,333 -- -- ------- ------- ------- Net income .......................................... $36,581 $22,667 $11,505 ======= ======= ======= Denominator--Diluted Weighted-average common stock outstanding ......... 15,499 14,963 10,018 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options .................................... 1,180 845 647 Convertible preferred stock ........................ 1,805 -- -- ------- ------- ------- 18,484 15,808 10,665 ======= ======= ======= Diluted income per share .............................. $ 1.98 $ 1.43 $ 1.08 ======= ======= ======= Stock options to purchase 13,525 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $13.63 to $31.25 per share were outstanding at October 31, 1997, but were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market value of the common shares. Convertible subordinated debt was not included in the computation of diluted income per share because it would be anti-dilutive. Stock options to purchase 7,000 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $16.13 to $31.25 per share were outstanding at October 31, 1998, but were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market value of the common shares. Convertible subordinated debt was not included in the computation of diluted income per share because it would be anti-dilutive. Stock options to purchase 60,000 shares of Common Stock at $28.00 were outstanding at October 31, 1999, but were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market value of the common shares. Convertible subordinated debt was not included in the computation of diluted income per share because it would be anti-dilutive. Segment and Related Information In fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments and related disclosures about products, geographic information and major customers. F-8 URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --(Continued) Reporting Comprehensive Income The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting of Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), in fiscal 1999. SFAS 130 establishes new standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net earnings as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders' equity. The Company's comprehensive income is primarily comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments. Adoption of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. However, SFAS 133 was effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999; however, in July 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 deferred the effective date until the first quarter ending June 30, 2000. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 in its quarter ending July 31, 2000 and does not expect such adoption to have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 1999 presentation with no effect on net income as previously reported. NOTE 2. QUASI-REORGANIZATION In conjunction with a restructuring completed in fiscal year 1990, the Company, with the approval of its Board of Directors, implemented a quasi-reorganization effective February 21, 1990 and revalued certain assets and liabilities to fair value as of that date. The fair values of the Company's assets and liabilities at the date of the quasi-reorganization were determined by management to approximate their carrying value and no further adjustment of historical bases was required. No assets were written-up in conjunction with the revaluation. As part of the quasi-reorganization, the deficit in retained earnings of $92.5 million was eliminated against additional paid-in capital. The balance in retained earnings at October 31, 1999, represents the accumulated net earnings subsequent to the date of the quasi-reorganization. NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS During the year ended October 31, 1999, the Company acquired publicly-held D-M for cash in the amount of $376.2 million. The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price in the amount of $388.3 million has been allocated to goodwill and is being amortized over 40 years. The operating results of D-M are included in the Company's results of operations from the date of purchase. F-9 URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --(Continued) The following unaudited proforma summary presents the consolidated results of operations as if the D-M acquisition had occurred at the beginning of periods presented and does not purport to indicate what would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of that date or of results which may occur in the future.

The total purchase price was paid in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price in the amount of $10.0 million has been allocated to goodwill and is being amortized over 30 years. The operating results of T-C are included in the Company's results of operations from the date of purchase. Pro forma operating results for the twelve months ended October 31, 1999 and 1998, as if the acquisition had been made on November 1, 1997, are not presented because they would not be materially different from the Company's reported results. During the year ended October 31, 1998, the Company acquired W-C for an aggregate purchase price of $132.4 million, comprising cash of $39.2 million, assumption of debt of $31.1 million, and 4 million shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at $61.9 million. The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price in the amount of $92.1 million has been allocated to goodwill and is being amortized over 30 years. The operating results of W-C are included in the Company's results of operations from the date of purchase. The following unaudited proforma summary presents the consolidated results of operations as if the W-C acquisition had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year end October 31, 1997, and does not purport to indicate what would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of that date or of results which may occur in the future.

Senior collateralized credit facility. The senior collateralized credit facility was funded June 9, 1999, ("Funding Date") and provides for three term loan facilities in the aggregate amount of $450 million and a revolving credit facility in the amount of $100 million. The term loan facilities consist of Term Loan A, a $250 million tranche, Term Loan B, a $100 million tranche and Term Loan C, another $100 million tranche. Principal amounts under Term Loan A became due, commencing on October 31, 1999, in the amount of approximately $3.0 million per quarter for the following four quarters. Thereafter and through the sixth anniversary of the Funding Date, annual principal payments under Term Loan A range from $25.0 million to a maximum of $62.5 million with Term Loan A expiring and the then-outstanding principal amount becoming due and repayable in full on the sixth anniversary of the Funding Date. Principal amounts under Term Loan B become due, commencing on October 31, 1999, in the amount of $1.0 million in each year through July 31, 2005, with Term Loan B expiring and the then-outstanding principal amount becoming due and repayable in full in four equal quarterly installments in year seven. Principal amounts under Term Loan C become due, commencing on October 31, 1999, in the amount of $1.0 million in each year through July 31, 2006, with Term Loan C expiring and the then-outstanding principal amount becoming due and repayable in full in equal quarterly installments in year eight. The revolving credit facility expires, and is repayable in full, on the sixth anniversary of the Funding Date. The term loans each bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either the Base Rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin. The revolving credit facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either the Base Rate, LIBOR or the Adjusted F-15 URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --(Continued) Sterling Rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin adjusts according to a performance pricing grid based on the Company's ratio of Consolidated Total Funded Debt to Consolidated Earnings Before Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"). The "Base Rate" is defined as the higher of the Bank's Prime Rate and the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. "LIBOR" is defined as the offered quotation by first class banks in the London interbank market to the Bank for dollar deposits, as adjusted for reserve requirements. The "Adjusted Sterling Rate" is defined as the rate per annum displayed by Reuters at which Sterling is offered to the Bank in the London interbank market as determined by the British Bankers' Association. The Company may determine which interest rate options to use and interest periods will apply for such periods for both term loans and the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is governed by affirmative and negative covenants. These covenants include restrictions upon incurring additional debt, paying dividends, or making distributions to its stockholders, repurchasing or retiring capital stock, making subordinated junior debt payments and submitting quarterly compliance certification. The financial covenants include maintenance of a minimum current ratio of 1.20 to 1.00, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00, a proforma EBITDA minimum of $142 million and a maximum leverage ratio of 4.75 to 1.00 for the year ended October 31, 1999. The Company was fully compliant with these covenants as of October 31, 1999. Notes 12 1/4% senior subordinated notes ("Notes"). The Company's Notes are due in 2009. Each note will initially bear interest at 12 1/4% per annum. Interest on the Notes will be payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing November 1, 1999. The Notes are subordinate to the senior collateralized credit facility. As of October 31, 1999, the Company owed $200 million on its Notes. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by certain of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company may redeem any of the Notes beginning May 1, 2004. The initial redemption price is 106.125% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price will decline each year after 2004 and will be 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest beginning on May 1, 2007. In addition, at any time prior to May 1, 2002, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the Notes with net cash proceeds from the sale of capital stock. The redemption price will be equal to 112.25% of the principal amount of the redeemed Notes. Debentures 8 5/8% senior subordinated debentures ("8 5/8% Debentures"). The Company's 8 5/8% Debentures are due in 2004. Interest is payable semiannually in January and July. The 8 5/8% Debentures are subordinate to the senior collateralized credit facility. As of October 31, 1999, the Company owed approximately $6.6 million on its 8 5/8% Debentures. 6 1/2% convertible subordinated debentures ("6 1/2% Debentures"). The Company's 6 1/2% Debentures are due in 2012 and are convertible into its common shares at the rate of $206.30 per share. Interest is payable semiannually in February and August. Sinking fund payments calculated to retire 70% of the 6 1/2% Debentures prior to maturity began in February 1998. The 6 1/2% Debentures are subordinate to the senior collateralized credit facility. As of October 31, 1999, the Company owed approximately $1.9 million on its 6 1/2% Debentures. Promissory Note As part of the W-C acquisition, the Company assumed the responsibility for a 10.95% promissory note payable to Weyerhaeuser Company. The note is paid in annual installments of $.8 million each January 31, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. F-16 URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --(Continued) The Company maintains foreign lines of credit which are collateralized by assets of foreign subsidiaries having a carrying value of approximately $21.3 million at October 31, 1999. The interest rates for the foreign lines of credit were 7.21% plus applicable margins consistent with market conditions in the respective countries at October 31, 1999. The approximate weighted average interest rates on the foreign lines of credit ranged from 5.44% to 9.50% at October 31, 1999. Interest Rate Swaps The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Bank. This interest rate swap effectively fixes the interest rate on $8.5 million of the Company's LIBOR based borrowings at 6.92% plus the applicable margin through April 30, 2000. The actual borrowing cost to the Company with respect to indebtedness covered by the interest rate swap will depend upon the applicable margin over LIBOR for such indebtedness, which will be determined by the terms of the relevant debt instruments. Currently, it is expected that the contractual margin will range from 2.75% to 3.50%, which will provide for an all-in annual interest rate range from 9.67% to 10.42%. The Company has entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement with the Bank. This interest rate swap effectively fixes the interest rate on $45.8 million of the Company's LIBOR based borrowings at 5.97% plus the applicable margin through January 31, 2001. The actual borrowing cost to the Company with respect to indebtedness covered by the interest rate swap will depend upon the applicable margin over LIBOR for such indebtedness, which will be determined by the terms of the relevant debt instruments. Currently, it is expected that the contractual margin will range from 2.75% to 3.50%, which will provide for an all-in annual interest rate range from 8.72% to 9.47%. Interest Rate Cap Agreements The Company entered into two interest rate cap agreements with the Bank. These agreements cap the Company's interest rate at 7% for $161.5 million and $9.2 million of the Company's LIBOR based borrowings through July 31, 2002, and April 30, 2000, respectively.

SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION In fiscal 1999, we adopted SFAS No. 131. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments and related disclosures about products, geographic information and major customers. Management has organized the Company by geographic divisions. The geographic divisions are Domestic and International. The Domestic division comprises all offices located in North America. The International division is comprised of all offices in Europe and Asia/Pacific (Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, New Zealand and the Philippines). Accounting policies for each of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, Accounting Policies. The Company provides services throughout the world. Services to other countries may be performed within the United States, generally revenues are classified within the geographic area where the services were performed. The following table shows summarized financial information on the Company's reportable segments.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Currently, the Company has limits of $100 million per loss and $100 million in the annual aggregate for general liability, professional errors and omissions liability, and contractor's pollution liability insurance. Excess limits provided for these coverages are on a "claims made" basis, covering only claims actually made during the policy period currently in effect. Thus, if the Company does not continue to maintain these excess policies, it will have no coverage for claims made after its termination date even if the occurrence was during the term of coverage. It is the Company's intent to maintain these policies, but there can be no assurance that the Company can maintain existing coverages or that claims will not exceed the available amount of insurance. Various legal proceedings are pending against the Company or its subsidiaries alleging among other things breaches of contract or negligence in connection with the performance of professional services. In some actions punitive or treble damages are sought which substantially exceed the Company's insurance coverage. The Company's management does not believe that any of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position and operations of the Company. NOTE 12. PREFERRED STOCK In June 1999, the Company issued 46,082.95 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock and 450,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock to RCBA Strategic Partners for an aggregate consideration of $100 F-19 URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --(Continued) million. The proceeds of this issuance were used in connection with the D-M acquisition. The Company paid a transaction fee of $1.5 million to RCBA Strategic Partners in connection with this placement. In October 1999, the Company issued 46,083 shares of its Series B Exchangeable Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Stock") to RCBA Strategic Partners in exchange for the shares of Series A and Series C Preferred Stock. The Company has authorized for issuance 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a $1.00 par value. Of these 3,000,000 shares, 150,000 shares have been designated Series B Stock. At October 31, 1999, the Company had 47,618 shares of Series B Stock outstanding. The Series B Stock has a liquidation preference equal to its original purchase price plus certain formulaic adjustments calculated at the time of liquidation. The Series B Stock is senior to the Common Stock and has voting rights equal to that number of shares of Common Stock into which it can be converted. Cumulative dividends are payable in-kind in additional shares of Series B Stock each calendar quarter at a dividend rate of 8%. Each share of the Series B Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder at any time (approximately 4,600,000 shares in the aggregate as of October 31, 1999). In addition, the Company will have the right, on or after June 2002, to convert all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Series B Stock into Common Stock if the price of the Company's Common Stock on the relevant exchange reaches certain levels for certain minimum periods of time. In June 2011, the Company is obligated to redeem any outstanding shares of Series B Stock for cash. If the Company fails to repurchase all of the outstanding shares of Series B Stock, the dividend rate will increase to 12% and three months after that the rate will increase to 15%. NOTE 13. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Declaration of dividends, except Preferred Stock dividends, is restricted by the senior collateralized credit facility with the Bank and the indentures governing the 8 5/8% Debentures and the Notes. Further, declaration of dividends may be precluded by existing Delaware law. During fiscal year 1995, the Company repurchased a total of 42,000 shares of its Common Stock at an average repurchase price of $5.43, pursuant to a systematic repurchase plan approved by the Company's Board of Directors on September 13, 1994. The systematic repurchase plan expired on September 13, 1995. The Company, as of that date, had repurchased a total of 52,000 shares of its Common Stock at an average repurchase price of $5.49. On October 12, 1999, the stockholders approved the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan ("1999 Plan"). An aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock initially have been reserved for issuance under the 1999 Plan. As of October 31, 1999, the Company has not issued any restricted shares under the 1999 Plan. On March 26, 1991, the stockholders approved the 1991 Stock Incentive Plan ("1991 Plan"). The 1991 Plan provides for the grant not to exceed 3,310,000 Restricted Shares, Stock Units and Options. As of October 31, 1999, the Company had issued 206,200 shares of Restricted Stock under the 1991 Plan.

Contributions are credited to each participant's account on the last day of each six-month participation period of the ESP Plan (which commences on January 1 and July 1 of each year). The purchase price for each share of Common Stock shall be the lower of 85% of the fair market value of such share on the last trading day before the participation period commences or 85% of the fair market value of such share on the last trading day in the participation period. Employees purchased 282,505 shares under the ESP Plan in fiscal 1999 and 209,482 shares in fiscal 1998. F-20 URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --(Continued) The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its 1991 Plan and 1999 Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its 1991 and 1999 Plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's 1991 Plan been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the proforma amounts indicated below: Years Ended October 31, -------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 --------- --------- --------- (In thousands, except per share data) Net income available for common stockholders: As reported. .............................. $ 33,248 $22,667 $11,505 Proforma .................................... $ 32,367 $22,343 $11,237 Basic earnings per share: As reported ................................. $ 2.14 $ 1.51 $ 1.15 Proforma .................................... $ 2.09 $ 1.49 $ 1.04 Dilutive earnings per share: As reported ................................. $ 1.98 $ 1.43 $ 1.08 Proforma ................................. $ 1.93 $ 1.41 $ 1.04 A summary of the status of the stock options granted under the Company's 1991 Plan for the years ended October 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, is presented below: 1999 1998 1997 ------------------------- ------------------------- -------------------------- Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- Average Average Average Exercise Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price Shares Price ------------ ----------- ------------ ----------- ------------- ----------- Outstanding at beginning of year 2,031,094 $1.12 1,508,280 $ 7.70 1,382,434 $ 6.64 Granted. ........................ 835,500 $6.81 644,500 $14.63 280,000 $10.63 Exercised ........................

The exercise price of these warrants was paid by a combination of $2.0 million of cash and the cancellation of $3.0 million of debt drawn under the Company's line of credit with certain BLUM entities. The Company's operating cash flow and working capital requirements have grown substantially due to its acquisition growth strategy. The Company intends to satisfy its working capital needs primarily through internal cash generation. As a professional services organization, the Company is not capital intensive. Capital expenditures, historically, have been for computer-aided design and general purpose computer equipment to accommodate its growth. Capital expenditures during fiscal years 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $20.2 million, $12.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The Company expects to continue to have capital outlays consistent with the resulting relative growth of the Company. NOTE 15. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS The Company has defined contribution retirement plans under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). The plans cover all full-time employees who are at least 18 years of age. Contributions by the Company are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Company made contributions in the amounts of $7.7 million, $4.9 million and $2.0 million to the plans in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. F-22 URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --(Continued) In July 1999, the Company entered into a Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement (the "Agreement") with Martin M. Koffel, the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the "Executive"). The Executive will be eligible to receive a benefit under this agreement following his termination of employment with the Company (the "Benefit"). The Benefit shall be an annual amount, payable for the life of the Executive with a guarantee of payments for at least ten years. The Benefit is equal to a percentage of the Executive's final average compensation, reduced by the annual social security benefit to which the Executive is entitled based on his age at the termination of employment. The Benefits payable under this Agreement shall be "unfunded," as that term is used in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), 401(a)(10) and 4021(a)(6)of ERISA. For the year ended October 31, 1999, the Company expensed $669,000 for this Agreement. Due to the acquisition of D-M, certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have trusteed retirement plans covering substantially all of their employees. These pension plans are not required to report to government agencies pursuant to ERISA and do not otherwise determine the actuarial value of accumulated benefits or net assets available for benefits. The aggregate pension expense for these plans for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1999 was $963,000. The Company, upon acquiring D-M, assumed certain of Radian International LLC defined benefit pension plans ("Radian pension plans"), and several post-retirement benefit plans. These plans cover a select group of Radian employees and former employees who will continue to be eligible to participate in the plans. The Radian pension plans include a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") and Salary Continuation Agreement ("SCA") which are intended to supplement retirement benefits provided by other benefit plans upon the participant's meeting minimum age and years of service requirements. The plans are unfunded. However, at October 31, 1999, the Company had designated and deposited $7.2 million in a trust account for the SERP. Radian also has a post-retirement benefit program that provides certain medical insurance benefits to participants upon meeting minimum age and years of service requirements. This plan is also unfunded. Management's estimate of accumulated benefits for the Radian SERP and SCA as of October 31, 1999, were as follows: Actuarial present value of accumulated benefits: (In thousands) Vested ............................................. $10,674 Non-vested .......................................... 868 ------- Total ................................................ $11,542 ======= The weighted-average discount rate used for the period was 7.0%.

NOTE 18. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION In June 1999, the Company completed a private placement of $200 million principal amount of its Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009, which Notes were exchanged in August 1999 for 12 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by certain of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries. Substantially all of the Company's income and cash flow is generated by its subsidiaries. The Company has no operating assets or operations other than its investments in its subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet the Company's debt service obligations are provided in large part by distributions to or advances from its subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances, contractural and legal restrictions, as well as the financial condition and operating requirements of the Company's subsidiaries, could limit the Company's ability to obtain cash from its subsidiaries for the purpose of meeting its debt service obligations, including the payment of principal and interest on the Notes. The following information sets forth the condensed consolidating balance sheet of the Company as of October 31, 1999 and 1998, and the condensed consolidating statements of operations and cash flows for the years ended October 31, 1999 and 1998. As of and for the year ended October 31, 1997, the Company did not have material foreign operations; therefore, the subsidiary guarantor information would not be relevant and no consolidating financial statements as of and for the year then ended have been presented. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for on the equity method; accordingly, entries necessary to consolidate the Company and all of its subsidiaries are reflected in the eliminations column. Separate complete financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Notes would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing the financial composition of such subsidiaries.
