8% anticipated return on limited partnership units

Business

. Limited partnership formed in April 2006 to acquire, produce and develop oil and gas properties.

. Intends to pay holders of common units distributions of available cash of $0.40 per unit for each

quarter, or $1.60 per unit annually, before pay any distributions paid to holders of subordinated

units.

Properties

. Located in the Appalachian Basin, primarily in Ohio and West Virginia, and in the Monroe field

in Northern Louisiana.

. At December 31, 2005, oil and gas properties had estimated net proved reserves of 44.8 Bcf

of gas and 1.1 MMBbls of oil, or 51.2 Bcfe, and a present value of future net cash flows,

discounted at 10%, or standardized measure, of $161.2 million.

. Properties are located in mature fields and have a long reserve to production index of 18.8 years.

. EVEP;s 2005 reserve report includes a multi-year inventory of 80 relatively low risk, proved

undeveloped drilling locations, all of which are located on Appalachian properties.

Seasonal Business

. Seasonal weather conditions and lease stipulations can limit EVEP’s drilling and producing

activities and other operations in certain areas of the Appalachian Basin.

. As a result, EVEP generally performs the majority of drilling in the Appalachian Basin during

the summer and autumn months

Competition

. Other independent operators and from major oil companies in acquiring properties, contracting

for drilling equipment and securing trained personnel.

. Also affected by competition for drilling rigs and the availability of related equipment.

. In the past, the natural gas and oil industry has experienced shortages of drilling rigs, equipment,

pipe and personnel, which has delayed development drilling and other exploitation activities and

has caused significant price increases.

. Has entered into contracts with a drilling company to drill all of the wells on EVEP’s

Appalachian properties that EVEP plans to drill during 2006.

Use of $72.5mm in IPO proceeds

• $60.19 million to the former owners of the predecessors

• $10.35 million to repay in full the indebtedness incurred by one of the predecessors to purchase

EVEP’s Northern Louisiana properties;

• $2.0 million of the net proceeds for pocket legal, accounting, printing and other fees and

expenses of the offering

Notice the "Road Home Contract" below

Business

. Management, technology and policy consulting and implementation services primarily to the

U.S. federal government, as well as to other government, commercial and international clients.

. Helps clients conceive, develop, implement and improve solutions that address complex

economic, social and national security issues.

. Services primarily address four key markets: defense and homeland security; energy;

environment and infrastructure; and health, human services and social programs.

. Revenue generated from state and local government clients is expected to increase in 2006, due

primarily to work in connection with the Road Home Contract with the State of Louisiana

Clients

. U.S. federal government clients include every cabinet-level department, including the

Department of Defense, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Homeland

Security, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Health and Human Services, the

Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Justice and the Department of

Energy. U.S. federal government clients generated 72% of revenue in 2005.

. State and local government clients include the states of California, Louisiana, Massachusetts,

New York and Pennsylvania. State and local government clients generated 9% of revenue in 2005.

. Also serves commercial and international clients, primarily in the energy sector, including

electric and gas utilities, oil companies and law firms. Commercial and international clients

generated 19% of revenue in 2005.

Road Home Contract

. ICFI has been awarded a contract (Road Home Contract) by the State of Louisiana’s Office of

Community Development, effective June 12, 2006, to serve as the manager for The Road Home

Housing Program

. This program, which is being funded with approximately $8.1 billion of Community

Development Block Grant funds allocated by the Department of Housing and Urban

Development, is designed to assist the population affected by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina to

repair, rebuild or relocate by making certain reimbursements to qualified homeowners and small

rental unit landlords for their uninsured, uncompensated damages.

Contract terms

. Although the request for proposals leading to this award anticipated a five-year contract, due to

limitations under Louisiana law, the Road Home Contract has a stated term of three years.

. The maximum amount payable to ICF EMS and its subcontractors with respect to the first four

month phase of the contract will be $87.2 million, and funding levels beyond the first phase have

not yet been negotiated.

. ICFI does not expect the amount payable during the first phase to be indicative of future revenue

levels during the balance of the contract term.

. In addition, key subcontractors will perform a substantial portion, perhaps 50 to 65%, of the

work under the contract, which will increase ICFI’s direct costs associated with the contract.

Three phases of work

. Funding has been secured only for the first phase that lasts for a period of four months

. Additional funding will depend on performance in phase one and the ability of ICF EMS and its

subcontractors to meet the deadlines stated in the contract.

. There is no assurance the State of Louisiana will amend the contract to add funding for later

phases if these deadlines are not met or if the State is not satisfied with ICFI’s and ICFI’s

subcontractors’ performance

Competition

. Some of the principal competitors include BearingPoint, Inc., Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc., CRA

International, Inc., L-3 Communications Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Navigant

Consulting, Inc., Northrop Grumman Corporation, PA Consulting Group, SAIC, Inc., and SRA

International, Inc.

. In addition, within each of the four key markets, ICFI has numerous smaller competitors, many

of which have narrower service offerings and serve niche markets.

Use of $49mm in IPO proceeds from sale of 3.7mm shares

(shareholders intend to sell 1mm shares)

. up to $46 million to repay a portion of the existing indebtedness under our revolving credit and

term loan facilities;

. $2.7 million for one-time bonus payments due to employees under an amended and restated

employee annual incentive compensation pool

. balance for general corporate purposes, including working capital and potential acquisitions.
