EXHIBITS, FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES, AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K 12 2 PART I Item 1. BUSINESS Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Inc. (the "Company") is a professional service firm operating in the engineering, architectural design and environmental services industry. The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida in 1989. As used herein, the "Company" refers to Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company provides a full range of architectural, engineering, planning and environmental services to public and private sector clients primarily in the southeastern United States. Specific industry markets are also served nationally and internationally. Services are provided through the following market-focused programs: * Transportation - Provides a full array of services to state, and local authorities for all modes of transportation including highways, transit, rail and ports. * Aviation - Serves airports, airlines, governmental agencies and private clients providing services for terminals and support buildings, airfield facilities, and planning and environmental services. * Aerospace and Defense - Services NASA, Department of Defense, and commercial aerospace contractors in the development of launch and other facilities. * Public Infrastructure - Serves the needs of local governmental and quasi-governmental agencies supporting water, storm water, wastewater, parks and public buildings. * Commercial - Provides comprehensive services to corporate, commercial and industrial clients. Comprehensive services include facility design, land development, facility planning, and construction management. * Institutional - Provides services to educational, governmental and research-oriented clients. Services include planning and designing schools, courthouses, research and technical facilities. Competition. The engineering and architectural services industry is highly ----------- competitive. The Company's competitors include large national firms as well as many small local firms. The Company competes with these firms on the basis of technical capabilities, qualifications of personnel, reputation, quality and price. Additionally, a local presence is important in certain areas. No one firm currently dominates a significant portion of the industry. 3 Major Customers. For each of the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, --------------- approximately 80% of the Company's business was with departments or agencies of federal, state and local governments. Contracts with the Florida Department of Transportation provided approximately 25%, 30%, and 35% of total revenues for each of the fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The loss of a significant client such as the Florida Department of Transportation would have a material adverse effect on the Company. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenues. Backlog. Gross revenue backlog is the estimated revenue from contracts ------- entered into with clients, less that portion which has been recognized as revenue. Backlog is subject to revision due to cancellations, modifications or changes in the scope of projects. There can be no assurance that signed contracts will ultimately be authorized or will not be canceled by clients in accordance with their terms. Net revenue backlog is estimated revenue excluding subconsultant and other direct costs and more accurately reflects the amounts to be earned for activities performed by the Company. The Company's gross backlog at March 31, 2001 was $53.8 million compared to $35.7 million at March 31, 2000. Net backlog was $37.6 million at March 31, 2001 as compared to $25.3 million at March 31, 2000. Approximately $33 million of services included in the Company's gross backlog as of March 31, 2001 will be performed in fiscal year 2002. The Company will receive additional revenue in fiscal year 2002 from sales generated during the year which are not included in the March 31, 2001 backlog. Governmental Contracts. Some service contracts with departments or agencies ---------------------- of federal, state, and local governments are subject to renegotiation of profits or termination at the election of the government. The Company is not aware of any adjustments that would have a material impact on the Company. Compliance with Environmental Laws. Compliance with federal, state and ------------------------------------ local regulations which have been enacted or adopted relating to the protection of the environment is not expected to have any material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the Company. However, such compliance by the Company's clients may require the need for the environmental-related services that the Company provides. Employees. At March 31, 2001 the Company employed 530 persons. --------- Item 2. PROPERTIES The Company leases its principal office space in Jacksonville, Florida, and seven branches occupy leased office space in the following Florida locations: Fort Myers, Merritt Island, Miami, Orlando, Plantation, Tallahassee, and Tampa. The Company also maintains leased offices in Flint, Michigan; Houston, Texas; Naperville, Illinois; Duluth, Minnesota; and Charlotte, North Carolina. In addition, the Company leases space at construction sites in various locations. These leases expire at various dates through fiscal year 2007. The current facilities are sufficient for the operation of the business. 4 Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is subject to lawsuits that arise in the normal course of business involving claims typical of those filed against the engineering and architectural professions. These suits primarily allege professional errors and/or omissions. The Company maintains professional liability insurance which insures against risk within the policy limits. There can be no assurances that the policy limits are sufficient to cover all claims. There are no legal proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company which are not covered by insurance and which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the Company's professional liability insurance carrier for the two-year period ended June, 2000, is having financial difficulties and on May 29, 2001, a Pennsylvania Court entered an order appointing the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner as Rehabilitator and directing the Rehabilitator to take immediate possession of the insurance carrier's assets and business. The insurance carrier's parent company, Reliance Group Holdings Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 11, 2001. As a result of these combined actions, this insurance carrier may not be able to honor all future insured claims against the Company. It is not possible to predict the outcome of litigation against the Company and the amount of future claims that could be presented to the Company's insurance carrier. As such, management is unable to estimate the amount or range of loss that could arise from this situation. Item 4.

PART II Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Company's securities are not presently traded on any public stock exchange or other public market. The Company had 227 shareholders of record at March 31, 2001, including persons owning stock through the Company's 401(k) plan. The Company pays no dividends on its common stock but instead reinvests earnings into the Company to fund growth. The Company does not intend on paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. 6 Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company, including the notes thereto, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (in thousands, except per share data) YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS DATA: Gross revenue $58,519 $51,818 $42,919 $37,122 $39,065 Net service revenue 44,407 38,102 31,583 26,734 27,397 Net income 738 790 581 567 593 Common stock per share data: Basic earnings per share 1.63 1.76 1.29 1.25 1.30 Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding 453,000 448,000 452,000 455,000 455,000 BALANCE SHEET DATA: Working capital 4,965 3,960 3,508 3,926 2,781 Total assets 18,738 16,717 13,926 13,310 12,680 Long-term debt (less current portion) 0 100 200 0 7 Common stockholders' equity 8,096 7,301 6,460 5,908 5,337

7 Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth the percentage of net service revenue represented by the items in the Company's consolidated statements of income: Year Ended March 31, 2001 2000 1999 Gross revenue 131.8% 136.0% 135.9% Subcontract and other direct costs 31.8 36.0 35.9 ---- ---- ---- Net service revenue 100.0 100.0 100.0 Cost of services 37.4 38.5 37.8 ---- ---- ---- Gross profit 62.6 61.5 62.2 Selling, general, and administrative expenses 59.8 57.9 59.3 ---- ---- ---- Operating income 2.8 3.6 2.9 Other income (expense) .1 --- .2 ---- ---- ---- Income before income taxes 2.9 3.6 3.1 Income tax expense 1.2 1.5 1.3 --- --- --- Net income 1.7% 2.1% 1.8% === === ===

Gross revenue for fiscal 2001 was $58.5 million as compared to $51.8 million for fiscal 2000. This $6.7 million increase (13%) was due primarily to increased revenues in the transportation, aviation, aerospace/defense, and commercial programs. Current and prior year marketing efforts in these programs resulted in several large project awards. Revenue for fiscal 2000 was $51.8 million as compared to $42.9 million for fiscal 1999. This 21% increase was due primarily to increased revenues in the aviation, aerospace/defense and institutional programs. 8 For each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, approximately 80% of the Company's revenues were generated from public sector clients. Subcontract and other direct costs were 32%, 36% and 36% of net service revenues for fiscal years 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The institutional program reduced its use of sub-consultants in fiscal year 2000 by performing more engineering services in-house. Net service revenue more accurately reflects revenue for services performed by the Company. Net service revenue was $44.4 million for fiscal 2001, $38.1 million for fiscal 2000, and $31.6 million for fiscal 1999. The respective 17% and 21% increases correspond primarily to the increases in gross revenues. Cost of services represents direct labor costs associated with the generation of net service revenues. Cost of services, as a percentage of net service revenue, remained consistent at 37%, 39%, and 38%, respectively for fiscal years ended March 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999. Gross profit, as a result, was 63%, 61% and 62% for fiscal years 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist of labor costs of production personnel not utilized on projects (i.e. indirect labor), labor costs of administrative and support personnel, office rent, depreciation, insurance, and other operating expenses. SG&A expenses remained fairly consistent as a percentage of net service revenue ranging from approximately 58% to 60% for each of the three previous fiscal years. SG&A expenses increased to $26.6 million in fiscal 2001 from $22.1 million in fiscal 2000. This 20% increase was due primarily to increases in personnel and associated costs. The number of employees increased to 530 from 470 throughout fiscal year 2001 in response to an increased workload. Other increases in SG&A expenses were experienced in rent expense relating to expanded office space, marketing costs, equipment leases, consultants, and insurance. Also, as a result of the Company's increased earnings before incentive compensation in fiscal 2001 and the implementation of a new long-term incentive plan, incentive compensation increased $400,000 from fiscal 2000. SG&A expenses increased 18% to $22.1 million in fiscal 2000 from $18.7 million in fiscal 1999. This increase was due primarily to increases in personnel expenses relating to increased workload. The number of employees grew to 470 from 420 during fiscal year 2000. Other increases in SG&A expenses were experienced in rent expense relating to new office locations in Flint, Michigan, Houston, Texas, and Naperville, Illinois, along with expanded office space in both Orlando, Florida and Ft. Myers, Florida. In addition, increased expense occurred in hiring and relocation, communication, reprographic, depreciation, and office supplies. Incentive compensation increased $500,000 as a result of increased earnings over fiscal year 1999. Net income was $738,000 in 2001, $790,000 in 2000, and $581,000 in 1999. The decrease in fiscal 2001 was primarily a result of increased incentive compensation expense. Fiscal 2000 net income increased from fiscal 1999 primarily due to increased net service revenues. 9 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's liquidity and capital measurements are set forth below: March 31 -------- 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Working capital (in thousands) $4,965 $3,960 $3,508 Current ratio 1.49:1 1.45:1 1.53:1 Ratio of liabilities to equity 1.31:1 1.29:1 1.16:1 Cash flows from operations were positive for fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 due primarily to net income. Accounts receivable and unbilled service revenue increased in conjunction with the increase in revenues, and were mostly offset by increases in accounts payable and unearned service revenue. Combined days outstanding for accounts receivable and unbilled service revenue were 79 and 75 days for fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. For fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 cash flows from operations were positive due primarily to net income. Increased revenues caused increases in accounts receivable and unbilled service revenues, offset by increases in accounts payable and unearned service revenues. For fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 cash flows from operations were negative. The Company has in place a line of credit that provides for borrowings up to $3,000,000 as of March 31, 2001, with interest at the lower of the bank's prime rate plus 0.1% or LIBOR plus 2.8%. There were no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit as of March 31, 2001. The borrowing agreement, which expires September 30, 2001, contains covenants related to working capital and debt to net worth. Substantially all of the Company's tangible assets are pledged as security pursuant to the borrowing agreement. The Company is in compliance with all provisions and expects that the agreement will be renewed. The Company believes that its existing financial resources, together with its cash flow from operations and its unused bank line of credit, will provide sufficient capital to fund its operations for fiscal 2002. This statement is based on information that is currently available. 10 Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Certain information contained in this report consists of forward-looking statements based on current expectations and plans that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements frequently are identified by the use of terms such as "expect", "believe", "estimate", "may", "should", "will" or similar expressions.

All forward-looking statements in this report are based on information that currently is available.

Item 7a. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company believes that its exposure to market risks is immaterial. The Company holds no market-risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. At present, the Company does not employ any derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments to hedge any market risk, and the Company does not currently plan to employ them in the near future. To the extent that the Company has borrowings outstanding under its credit facility, there may be market risk relating to the amount of borrowings due to the fact that the interest rate under the credit facility is variable.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Deloitte and Touche LLP --------------------------- Certified Public Accountants Jacksonville, Florida June 18, 2001 15 REYNOLDS, SMITH AND HILLS, INC.

19 REYNOLDS, SMITH AND HILLS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation - Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Inc. (the Company) is a --------------------- professional service firm operating in the engineering and architectural design services industry. The Company provides a full range of architectural, engineering, planning and environmental services. The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity ---------------- with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition - Revenue from contract services is recognized on the -------------------- percentage-of-completion method. Revenue is recorded as costs are incurred, and profit is recognized on each contract based on the percentage that incurred costs bear to estimated total costs. In the event of an anticipated loss, the entire amount of the loss is charged to current operations. The Company incurs subcontract and other direct costs (out-of-pocket expenses) some of which are passed through directly to its clients. The Company believes that revenue excluding subcontract and other direct costs, more accurately reflects the amounts earned for activities performed by the Company. Accordingly, the Company reports such costs as a reduction of gross revenue to arrive at net service revenue. Unbilled service revenue represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. Unearned service revenue represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. Unbilled service revenues which will not be collected during the next year are not significant. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. ------------------------ Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property and equipment is periodically reviewed by management for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. 20 REYNOLDS, SMITH AND HILLS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ Cost in Excess of Net Assets of Acquired Businesses - Cost in excess of net --------------------------------------------------- assets of acquired businesses is being amortized on the straight-line method over periods varying from fifteen to twenty years. The carrying value of cost in excess of net assets of acquired business is periodically reviewed by management and impairment, if any, is recognized when the projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value. Income Taxes - The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated Federal ------------ income tax returns. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences which arise from certain transactions being reported in different periods for financial statement purposes than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using an asset and liability approach and are based on differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Basic Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing ------------------------ net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Options outstanding to purchase common stock had no significant dilutive effect. Cash Equivalents - The Company considers cash on hand and cash held in ----------------- banks subject to immediate withdrawal to represent cash. New Accounting Standard - In 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ----------------------- issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which establishes accounting and reporting standards for such activities. In 1999 the FASB deferred the effective date of the standard to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Effective April 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 133. There was no impact to the financial statements. 2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consist of the following at March 31: 2001 2000 ---- ---- Leasehold improvements $ 384,000 $ 349,000 Furniture & equipment 4,862,000 6,147,000 --------- --------- 5,246,000 6,496,000 Accumulated depreciation (2,949,000) (3,983,000) ---------- ---------- $ 2,297,000 $ 2,513,000 =========== =========== 21 REYNOLDS, SMITH AND HILLS, INC.

LEASES The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancellable leases expiring in various years through 2007. Some of the operating leases provide that the Company pay taxes, maintenance, insurance and other occupancy costs. Rent expense for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 amounted to $2,994,000, $2,567,000 and $2,402,000, respectively. Future minimum payments under noncancellable operating leases are as follows: Operating Leases ------ 2002 $ 2,822,000 2003 2,442,000 2004 1,114,000 2005 594,000 2006 152,000 2007 42,000 ------ Total minimum payments $ 7,166,000 =========== 24 REYNOLDS, SMITH AND HILLS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ 7. CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to lawsuits that arise in the normal course of business involving claims typical of those filed against the engineering and architectural professions. These suits primarily allege professional errors and/or omissions. The Company maintains professional liability insurance which insures against risk within the policy limits. There can be no assurances that the policy limits are sufficient to cover all claims. There are no legal proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company which are not covered by insurance and which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the Company's professional liability insurance carrier for the two-year period ended June, 2000, is having financial difficulties and on May 29, 2001, a Pennsylvania Court entered an order appointing the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner as Rehabilitator and directing the Rehabilitator to take immediate possession of the insurance carrier's assets and business. The insurance carrier's parent company, Reliance Group Holdings Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 11, 2001. As a result of these combined actions, this insurance carrier may not be able to honor all future insured claims against the Company. It is not possible to predict the outcome of litigation against the Company and the amount of future claims that could be presented to the Company's insurance carrier. As such, management is unable to estimate the amount or range of loss that could arise from this situation. For each of the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, approximately 80% of the Company's business is with departments or agencies of federal, state and local governments. These contracts may be subject to renegotiation or termination at the election of the government. The Company is subject to examination by certain governmental agencies for which it provides services. In management's opinion the results of any examination would not have a significant effect on the Company's financial position. 8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN The Company sponsors a Profit Sharing Plan that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan allows participating employees to contribute from 2% to 15% of their earned compensation to the plan. The Company contributes to the plan 50% of each participant's contribution, up to the 6% level of the participant's contribution. In fiscal 2000 the Company's matching percentage was increased to 50% from 25%. For the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company contributed $576,000, $362,000 and $161,000, respectively. Participants in the plan have the option to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. 25 REYNOLDS, SMITH AND HILLS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ 9. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has stock-based compensation plans under which selected employees receive stock awards and stock options. The plans provide for the grant of stock, incentive stock options, and non-qualified stock options. The total number of shares of common stock represented by awards granted to employees for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, was 1,000, zero, and 1,000, respectively. Stock options generally are granted with an exercise price equal to 100% of the market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, have no more than a 10-year term and vest within five years from the date of grant. The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and as permitted by that standard applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. The impact on net income and earnings per share had the Company adopted the optional recognition provisions of SFAS 123 would not be material. Presented below is a summary of the stock options and the related transactions for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. 2001 2000 ------------------ ----------------- Weighted Weighted Average Average Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price ------ ----- ------ ----- Outstanding, 39,000 $13 29,000 $12 beginning of year Granted - - 14,000 15 Exercised - - - - Forfeited ( 3,000) 11 (4,000) 11 ------- -- ------ -- Outstanding, end of year 36,000 $14 39,000 $13 ======= ====== Exercisable 22,000 14,000 26 REYNOLDS, SMITH AND HILLS, INC.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of the following financial instrument: Debt. Interest rates that are currently available to the Company ---- for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value for debt instruments. The Company believes the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of such fair value. 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION The Company has notes receivable outstanding from officers of the Company totaling $95,000 and $108,000 at March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The loans, with interest at 8.5% per year, mature in 2006. Principal and interest are paid biweekly. 12. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company's organizational structure is based on the needs of its customers, with each unit serving a particular group of customers that have common characteristics. The Company's reportable segments are Transportation, Aviation, Aerospace/Defense, Public Infrastructure, Commercial, and Institutional. 27 REYNOLDS, SMITH AND HILLS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ The Transportation segment is responsible for providing a full array of services to state and local authorities for all modes of transportation including highway, transit, rail, and ports. The Aviation segment serves airports, airlines, governmental agencies and private clients providing services for terminals, support buildings, and airfields. Aerospace/Defense services NASA, Department of Defense, and commercial aerospace contractors in the development of launch and other facilities. Public Infrastructure serves the needs of local governmental and quasi-governmental agencies supporting water, storm water, wastewater, parks and public buildings. The Commercial segment provides comprehensive services to corporate, commercial and industrial clients. Institutional provides services to educational, governmental and research-oriented clients. Management evaluates the performance of its operating segments separately to individually monitor the different factors affecting financial performance. Segment performance is evaluated based on income before income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see Note 1). Reconciling amounts include incentive compensation expense not allocated to the segments. Assets of the segment groups are not relevant for management of the businesses nor for disclosure. Revenues from the Florida Department of Transportation account for approximately 25%, 30%, and 35% of consolidated revenues in the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively, all in the Transportation segment. The loss of this customer could materially and adversely affect the Company's operating results.
