                              Part III- Narrative

   As discussed in numerous other forms filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission during 1999, the Company has devoted significant time and effort to
resolving severe financial complications stemming originally from substantial
cost overruns incurred in 1998 on four large, fixed-price contracts to construct
nitric acid plants.  The significant activities undertaken thereafter,
associated with effecting a Company-wide restructuring and reorganization (the
plan elements are described below), combined with certain limitations on
corporate resources, have contributed to the need for an extension for the
filing of the Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2000 within the
prescribed time period.

     For informational purposes, the summary components, and related status, of
the corporate restructuring plan are as follows:

 .  the divestiture of several operating units - during 1999, the Company
   completed the sale of two major divisions.

 .  the realignment and rightsizing of the retained operating units in order to
   gain significant reductions to corporate overhead - although these efforts
   are ongoing, the Company attained the majority of its likely overhead cost
   reductions during 1999 - cost reductions exceeding $20.0 million were
   realized when comparing the fourth quarter run rate of 1999 versus that of
   1998.

 .  the restructuring of the Company's $140 million in Senior and Senior
   Subordinated Notes - in October of 1999, the Company repurchased $14 million
   of the Senior Notes at a 12% discount. Debt restructuring discussions with
   the Company's remaining noteholders were continuing as of the date of this
   filing.

Attachment for Part IV - Item (3)


Anticipated changes in the operating results for the three months ended March
31, 2000 versus the same period in 1999 include the following:

 .  On March 31, 2000, the Company completed the sale of an investment in a
   French environmental consulting firm. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain
   of approximately $792,000 on the $1 million sale price.

 .  The recorded operating results for the Company's 50%-owned Kaiser-Hill
   subsidiary were approximately $9.4 million for the three months ended March
   31, 2000 versus $4.2 million for the same period in 1999. Due to the January
   24, 2000 award to the Kaiser-Hill subsidiary of the new Rocky Flats
   contract, effective February 1, 2000, certain remaining performance elements
   contained in the original contract were shifted into the new contract and the
   DOE essentially terminated the original contract. Since the Company had been
   recognizing the performance fee of the original contract using the percentage
   of completion basis and since performance elements were shifted out of the
   original contract, the Company had to revise its estimate of its earnings
   under the original contract - therefore in the fourth quarter of 1999, the
   Company recorded a downward revision in revenue previously recognized of $5.2
   million. The Company subsequently recorded this amount of revenue in the
   first quarter of 2000 prior to the termination of the original contract on
   January 31, 2000.

 .  During the first quarter of 2000 the Company incurred approximately $700,000
   in professional fees associated with debt restructuring and corporate
   reorganization activities versus an unusual charge of approximately $895,000
   incurred during the first quarter of 1999 for severance and other matters
   associated with the 1999 activities surrounding the corporate reorganization.

 .  Depreciation expense decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2000
   compared to the same period in 1999 largely as a result of:

   .  the write off of approximately $25.0 million of goodwill in the second
      quarter of 1999 upon the completion of the sales of the EFM and Consulting
      Groups;
   .  the write off of capitalized original issuance costs associated with the
      $14.0 million in Senior Notes that were repurchased in October, 1999, and
   .  to the reduction in goodwill of approximately $1.5 million in December
      1999 resulting from a change in the purchase price of a business acquired
      in 1998.

 .  There were reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses during
   the first quarter of 2000 compared to the same quarter in 1999 as a result of
   the cost-cutting measures enacted by the Company during the second half of
   1999.

 .  Interest expense decreased by $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2000
   compared to 1999 as a result of the average outstanding debt balances falling
   by approximately $49.8 million during the comparable quarters due to the
   timing of the various debt repurchases and extinguishments completed in 1999.

 .  During the first quarter of 1999, the Company reported income of $2.3 million
   from discontinued operations. The respective operations were sold during the
   second quarter of 1999, therefore, the Company will not report any income
   from discontinued operations during the first quarter of 2000.


     The complete Management's Discussion and Analysis of each period's
operating results will be included in the actual Form 10-Q for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 filed after this extension.

                                                                          Page 4
