PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

TRC Companies, Inc. (the Company) together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries
provides technical, financial risk management and construction services to
industry and government primarily in the United States market. The Company's
main focus is in the areas of infrastructure improvements and expansions,
environmental management and information technology.

Traditionally much of the Company's work was derived from the environmental
service business and was related to satisfying local, state and federal
regulatory requirements. In early 1998, new TRC management initiated a growth
plan directed toward maintaining the traditional business, while increasing
growth by also focusing on economically driven markets in the following four
business areas:

- Environmental Services
- Infrastructure
- Information Management
- Engineered Financial Solutions

Environmental Services includes pollution control, waste management, auditing
and assessment, permitting and compliance, design and engineering and natural
and cultural resources management. This has been the Company's historic focus
and the Company has an established niche in the high growth energy
deregulation market. TRC's Infrastructure development business targets
geographic areas where rehabilitation of existing systems and population
growth lead to expansion opportunities and continued infrastructure
development. The Company provides customized data management systems
traditionally in the environmental area and serves its customers' needs to
utilize data more cost effectively. Within the Engineered Financial Solutions
business area, the Company combines financing and/or financial risk
management with technology (e.g. Exit Strategies-TM-, Brownfields
redevelopment) to optimize customer solutions. The Company is the leading
supplier of environmental remediation outsourcing through its trademarked
Exit Strategies-TM- program. This value-added outsourcing program provides
added rewards to the Company by partnering with a customer to share site
environmental risks or to transfer those risks to TRC entirely. The Company
manages its own risks through innovative problem solving, the application of
premium charges for the transfer of risks and administrative costs from the
customer to TRC and, when appropriate, insurance policy partnerships with
companies such as American International Group (AIG).

CUSTOMERS

The Company's customers include companies in the chemical, automotive,
petroleum, construction, transportation, mining, waste management and other
industries, financial institutions, public utilities, and local, state and
federal government agencies. Many of the Company's commercial customers are
major multinational corporations. The following customers represent more than
50 percent of the Company's net service revenue:

AES Enterprises Hanson PLC Southern Energy
ASARCO Lockheed Martin Corporation Tosco
Burlington Northern Santa Fe RR Meridian Gold The Trump Organization
Connecticut Resources Recovery Mobil U.S. Generating
Authority New York City U.S. Government
Consolidated Edison of New York - School Construction Authority - EPA
Duke Energy - Department of Transportation - DOD
Express Pipeline - Department of Parks - FAA
General Electric New York State Dept. of Transportation Unocal
General Motors Orange County, CA Waste Management

For fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, the federal government (principally the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the U. S. Department of Defense) accounted
for 19%, 20% and 22%, respectively, of the Company's net service revenue. No
other customer represented 10% or more of the Company's net service revenue in
any of those years.

MARKETING AND SALES

The Company believes that it attracts customers primarily on the basis of its
reputation for providing cost-effective solutions to customer needs and its
ability to respond to meet customer schedules. The marketing activities for the
Company's services are generally conducted by senior professional staff members
and executives (seller-doers) who are recognized experts in our business areas
and regularly meet with existing and potential customers to obtain new business.
These activities are typically conducted through the Company's network of
offices for local customers and by business sector leaders for national
customers. In addition, corporate and subsidiary marketing departments
coordinate representation at trade shows, prepare sales literature and develop
and place advertising.

BACKLOG

At June 30, 1999, the Company's net contract backlog (excluding the estimated
costs of pass-through charges) was approximately $58 million, as compared to
approximately $36 million at June 30, 1998. The Company expects that
approximately 75% of this backlog will be completed in fiscal 2000. In addition
to this net contract backlog, the Company holds open order contracts from
various customers and government agencies. As work under these contracts is
authorized and funded, the Company includes this portion in its net contract
backlog. There can be no assurance that any work included in backlog will not be
canceled or delayed.

EMPLOYEES

As of June 30, 1999, the Company had approximately 800 full and part-time
employees. Approximately 85% of these employees are primarily engaged in
performing environmental engineering and consulting, process and civil
engineering, construction management and information management services for
customers. Many of these employees have master's degrees or their equivalent and
a number have Ph.D. degrees. The Company's professional staff includes
registered professional engineers, geologists, hydrologists, hydrogeologists,
meteorologists, toxicologists, chemists, industrial hygienists, archaeologists,
biologists, construction specialists, computer programmers, systems analysts and
others with degrees and experience that enables the Company to provide a full
range of services. The balance of the Company's employees are engaged primarily
in executive, administrative and support activities. None of the Company's
employees are represented by a union. The Company considers its relations with
its employees to be very good.

COMPETITION

The markets for many of the Company's services are highly competitive. There are
numerous professional architectural, engineering and consulting firms and other
organizations which offer many of the services offered by the Company. The
Company is subject to direct competition with respect to the services it
provides from many other firms, ranging from small local firms to large national
firms having substantially greater financial, management and marketing resources
than the Company. Competitive factors include reputation, performance, price,
geographic location and availability of technically skilled personnel.

The Company focuses on market areas where the Company can be a leading provider
due to staff skills, reputation, financial strength and/or geographic presence.
For example, the Company believes that it is one of the top 2 or 3 providers of
permitting services for the rapidly growing deregulated energy business.
Further, the Company appears to be the market leader in providing complete
outsourcing of site remediation services through its Exit Strategy-TM- program.

REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company's businesses are subject to various rules and regulations at the
federal, state and local government levels. The Company believes that it is in
compliance with these rules and regulations. On occasion, the Company has not
bid on projects in certain jurisdictions due to licensing requirements. In
addition, some projects are not bid due to bonding or insurance requirements
which the Company elects not to meet. While the Company has not experienced any
significant limitations on its business as a result of regulatory, bonding or
insurance requirements, there can be no assurance that future changes in law or
changes in industry practice will not impose conditions to bidding on certain
projects which the Company may not be able to satisfy.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES

The Company has a number of trademarks, service marks, copyrights and licenses,
none of which are considered material to the Company's business as a whole.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Historically, research and development costs were charged to operations as
incurred by the Company's instrumentation subsidiary, which was sold in July
1998, and amounted to approximately $187,000 and $190,000 in fiscal 1998 and
1997, respectively.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

The Company does not believe that its own compliance with federal, state and
local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment will
have any material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company provides its services through a network of 24 offices located
nationwide and offices in Lima, Peru and Santiago, Chile. The Company does not
own any real estate and leases approximately 248,000 square feet of office and
laboratory space to support these operations. The Company owns substantially all
of the analytical, chemical monitoring, emissions testing and other specialized
equipment required to render its various services. In addition, the Company
leases certain computers and office equipment.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and its subsidiaries are not a party to any pending legal
proceedings in which an adverse decision, in the opinion of the Company, would
have a material adverse effect upon the Company.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.
