Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and changes in internal control over financial reporting. As of December 31, 2006, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on our managements evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), were effective.

We are subject to certain claims and lawsuits typically filed against the engineering, consulting and construction profession, alleging primarily professional errors or omissions. We carry professional liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and policy limits, against such claims. However, in some actions, parties are seeking damages that exceed our insurance coverage or for which we are not insured. Management is of the opinion that the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We continue to be involved in the contract dispute with Horsehead Industries, Inc., doing business as Zinc Corporation of America (ZCA). In April 2002, a Washington County Court in Bartlesville, Oklahoma dismissed with prejudice our counter-claims relating to receivables due from ZCA and other costs. In December 2002, the Court rendered a judgment for $4.1 million and unquantified legal fees against us in this dispute. In February 2004, the Court quantified the previous award and ordered us to pay approximately $2.6 million in ZCAs attorneys and consultants fees and expenses, together with post-judgment interest. We posted bonds and filed appeals with respect to the earlier judgments. On December 27, 2004, the Court of Civil Appeals of the State of Oklahoma rendered a decision relating to certain aspects of our appeals. In its decision, the Court vacated the $4.1 million verdict against us. In addition, the Court upheld the dismissal of our counter-claims. On January 18, 2005, both we and ZCA filed petitions for rehearing with the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals. On May 24, 2006, the Court of Appeals denied ZCAs petition outright and granted our petition in part. The decision effectively limited ZCAs damages to $150,000 and gave us the right to contest this amount at a retrial. On June 9, 2006, the Court of Appeals vacated the award to ZCA of its attorneys and consultants fees and expenses and remanded this matter to the trial court. On June 13, 2006, both we and ZCA filed petitions for Writ of Certiorari with the Oklahoma Supreme Court. On October 23, 2006, the Oklahoma Supreme Court denied both such petitions. As of October 1, 2006, we maintained $4.1 million in accrued liabilities related to the original judgment, and a $2.6 million accrual for ZCAs attorneys and consultants fees and expenses. As a result of the Oklahoma Supreme Court decision in October 2006 and further guidance from our legal counsel, we reversed $4.0 million of the accrued liabilities related to the original judgment and reduced SG&A expense relating to the original judgment in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Upon further definitive legal developments, the remaining accruals relating to this matter will be adjusted accordingly. On November 21, 2006, a stockholder filed a putative shareholder derivative complaint in the United States District Court, Central District of California, against certain current and former members of our Board of Directors and certain current and former executive officers, alleging proxy fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, constructive fraud, corporate waste, unjust enrichment and gross mismanagement in connection with the grant of certain stock options to our executive officers. We were also named as a nominal defendant in the action. The complaint seeks damages on our behalf in an unspecified amount, disgorgement of the options which are the subject of the action, any proceeds from the exercise of those options or from any subsequent sale of the underlying stock and equitable relief. The allegations of the complaint appear to relate to options transactions that we disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal 2006. As reported in that Form 10-Q, we recorded additional pre-tax non-cash stock-based compensation charges of $3.2 million ($2.3 million related to continuing operations and $0.9 million related to discontinued operations), net of tax of $1.3 million ($0.9 million related to continuing operations and $0.4 million related to discontinued operations), in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2006 as a result of misdated option grants. On January 3, 2007, a second putative shareholder derivative complaint was filed against the same defendants. This complaint, filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, contained substantially similar allegations to those set forth in the first shareholder derivative complaint. We are reviewing both complaints in light of our previous independent investigation and adjustments concerning this matter and will respond appropriately. 36 This excerpt taken from the TTEK 10-K filed Dec 28, 2006. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and changes in internal control over financial reporting As of October 1, 2006, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on our managements evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), were effective. Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting The information required by this item is included in our 2006 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is incorporated by reference. This excerpt taken from the TTEK 10-Q filed Aug 16, 2006. Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and changes in internal control over financial reporting. As of July 2, 2006, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on our managements evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), were effective. Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our third quarter of fiscal 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 45 PART II. OTHER INFORMATIONThis excerpt taken from the TTEK 10-Q filed May 13, 2005. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on our management's evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), were ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2004, we restated our financial statements for the fiscal years ended in 2001 through 2003. Management continues to believe that a number of factors contributed to conditions that led to the need to restate prior years' financial statements and, as a result, we concluded that a material weakness existed in our internal controls. The principal factors contributing to this condition were the failure to properly apply generally accepted accounting principles in certain project and litigation related circumstances and insufficient coordination between accounting and operational personnel on project management and forecast disciplines. Management has continued to make changes in our management and organization structure, and has continued to address some of the training issues related to project management and accounting and strengthen the accounting function and personnel in various operating units. Until the balance of these changes is completed, the material weakness will continue to exist. Management continues to believe that the changes necessary to fully remedy this weakness will be in place by the end of fiscal 2005. To address the material weakness described above, management performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this report present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP. Changes in internal control over financial reporting. Other than as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our second quarter of fiscal 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 43 This excerpt taken from the TTEK 10-K filed Jan 3, 2005. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Based on our management's evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), were ineffective with respect to fiscal years 2001 through 2004 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. As disclosed herein, upon review, we have restated our financial statements for the fiscal years ended in 2001 through 2003. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2004 Annual Report to Stockholders. Management believes that a number of factors contributed to conditions that led to the need to restate prior years' financial statements and, as a result, we have concluded that a material weakness existed in our internal controls. The principal factors contributing to this condition were the failure to properly apply generally accepted accounting principles in certain project and litigation related circumstances and insufficient coordination between accounting and operational personnel on project 30 management and forecast disciplines. Management has made changes in our management and organizational structure, including changing the reporting line of accounting personnel from operating units to the Corporate CFO and Controller, and is continuing to address some of the training issues related to project management and accounting and strengthen the accounting function and personnel in various operating units. Until the balance of these changes are completed, the material weakness continues to exist. Management presently anticipates that these changes necessary to remediate this weakness will be in place by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Other than as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. | EXCERPTS ON THIS PAGE:
