FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:                     Tuesday - June 18, 2002


                  VERSAR RAISES $1 MILLION IN A PRIVATE
                           PLACEMENT TRANSACTION

     Springfield, Virginia, June 18, 2002 - Versar, Inc. (AMEX:VSR)
today announced it had sold 359,183 shares of its Common Stock at
$2.78 per share to an institutional investor in a private placement.
The Company also issued warrants to purchase 359,183 shares of Common
Stock, one-half with an exercise price of $3.48 and the other half
with an exercise price of $4.18.

     The securities sold in the private placement were not registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in
the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements.  The Company has agreed, however, to
provide a shelf registration statement registering resale of the
shares sold and the shares underlying the warrants with the
Securities and Exchange Commission no later than September 15, 2002.

     The proceeds from the sale of the shares and warrants will be
used to expand Versar's products and services in its National
Security and Homeland Defense initiative.

     Dr. Theodore Prociv, President and CEO of Versar, said, "We
needed additional capital to increase our product lines and
capabilities in the Homeland Defense business area.  In this time
of increased Homeland Defense Awareness, we see opportunities for
Versar to help America through the recent Bio-terrorism law signed
by President Bush.  This is a strong vote of confidence in Versar
and we will put the funds to good use immediately."
