with current-year  presentation.  Certain  information and footnote  disclosures
normally included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  have been  condensed  or omitted.  The company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.  It  is  suggested  that  these  financial  statements  be  read  in
conjunction  with the financial  statements  and notes  thereto  included in the
company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994.

The results of operations for the three months and six months ended February 28,
1995 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full
fiscal year because the company's  revenues and income are  generally  higher in
the second  half of its fiscal year and  because of the  uncertainty  of general
business conditions.

4.  POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

During the quarter ended  November 30, 1994,  the company  adopted  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No.  112,  "Employers'  Accounting  for
Postemployment  Benefits," which requires  employers to accrue the expected cost
of benefits to be provided to former or inactive  employees after employment but
before  retirement.  The  company's  liability  relates  primarily  to severance
agreements  and  to  life  insurance  coverage  for  certain  eligible  disabled
employees. The amount is not material to the consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction  with the  consolidated
financial statements and related notes.

Financial Condition

National Service  Industries  maintained a strong financial position at February
28, 1995. Net working capital was $426.3  million,  compared with $413.1 million
at August 31, 1994,  and the current  ratio was 3.5,  compared  with 3.2 at year
end. Cash and  short-term  investments  were $57.3  million,  down slightly from
$61.2  million at August 31. For the six months ended  February  28,  1995,  the
company  invested  $22.8  million  in  capital  expenditures  and  acquisitions.
Long-term  debt and  other  long-term  liabilities  were 13.9  percent  of total
capitalization,  up from 13.2 percent at year end.  Cash  provided by operations
was $47.1 million, compared with $46.3 million for the first half last year.

Capital expenditures,  exclusive of acquisition spending, were $22.5 million for
the six months this year and $21.9 million for the prior-year period. During the
second  quarter,   the  lighting  equipment  division  continued  to  invest  in
manufacturing  equipment replacements and improvements and the construction of a
production  facility in  Monterrey,  Nuevo  Leon,  Mexico.  The  textile  rental
division  continued  its fleet  upgrades and facility  improvements.  Prior-year
spending was attributable to facilities and manufacturing  process  improvements
in the lighting equipment division, facilities additions and information systems
improvements in the chemical division,  and wastewater  compliance  projects and
fleet upgrades in the textile rental division.  Acquisition spending was minimal
in both periods.

Dividend  payments for the six months  totaled  $27.0  million,  or 55 cents per
share,  compared with $26.3 million,  or 53 cents per share, for the same period
last year.  Effective  January,  1995, the regular  quarterly  dividend rate was
increased  3.7  percent to 28 cents per share,  which is an annual rate of $1.12
per share.

During the three months and six months ended February 28, 1995, the company paid
$16.9  million for 675,000  shares of its common stock.  An  additional  225,000
shares have been  purchased  since quarter end. The board of  directors,  at its
regular meeting in March,  1995,  increased the company's  standing authority to
purchase  shares from the previous  two million  shares per year to four million
shares for the current fiscal year.

For  the  periods  presented,  capital  expenditures,   working  capital  needs,
dividends,  and acquisitions were financed  primarily with internally  generated
funds, supplemented by short-term borrowings in the European market. Contractual
commitments  for capital  spending  during the coming  twelve  months  total $12
million.  For the current  fiscal  year,  the  company  expects  actual  capital
expenditures to be somewhat higher than levels of recent years, which, excluding
acquisition  spending,  were $43 million in 1994,  $36 million in 1993,  and $43
million in 1992.  Current  liquid  assets  and  internally  generated  funds are
expected to be more than adequate to meet anticipated cash  requirements for the
next twelve months,  although some interim  borrowings might be incurred to meet
short-term  needs. The company has  complimentary  lines of credit totaling $152
million, of which $110 million has been provided domestically and $42 million is
available on a multi-currency basis primarily from a European bank.


Results of Operations

National  Service  Industries  reported a 9.8 percent  increase in earnings  per
share,  from 33 cents to 36 cents,  for its second fiscal quarter ended February
28, 1995. Net income for the quarter increased 8.0 percent to $17.6 million. The
percentage  increase in earnings per share was somewhat  higher because  713,000
fewer  shares on average  were  outstanding  compared  with last  year's  second
quarter.

Sales for the quarter  totaled  $465.8  million,  6.0 percent higher than in the
same  period  last  year.  The  increase  would  be 7.9  percent  excluding  the
prior-year  sales of Marketing  Services,  the division  divested at last fiscal
year end.

For the fiscal first half of NSI's fiscal year,  sales  increased 5.3 percent to
$946.8 million and net income  increased 9.2 percent to $38.7 million.  Earnings
per share increased 10.3 percent to 79 cents from 72 cents.

The lighting equipment division led second quarter results with a sales increase
of 15.5  percent to $200.8  million  and a  first-half  sales  increase  of 13.7
percent  to  $404.6  million.   The  increases  in  both  periods  were  largely
attributable to unit volume gains.  Operating  profit increased 33.0 percent for
the quarter to 6.3 percent of  revenues,  from 5.4 percent  last year,  and grew
23.0 percent for the six months to 6.5 percent of revenues, up from 6.0 percent
the prior year to date.  Both  fluorescent  and  non-fluorescent  product groups
participated in operating improvements, which resulted from the volume increases
and some product pricing gains.

Textile rental division  revenues were only marginally  ahead of both prior-year
periods,  at $131.8  million for the second  quarter and $267.9  million for the
year to date, as pricing  improvements  offset unit volume  declines.  Operating
profit decreased to 5.7 percent of revenues for the quarter and 7.0 percent year
to date,  compared with 8.4 percent for both  prior-year  periods.  The division
continued to invest significantly in its sales and marketing programs.  Although
results were still  disappointing,  other  initiatives  are beginning to improve
performance as February results were stronger than anticipated.

The chemical sector had mixed results.  Sales,  which have been the focus of the
sector's strategy, advanced 6.1 percent to $80.2 million for the quarter and 6.5
percent  to $168.1  million  for the six  months.  However,  operating  earnings
declined to 7.9 percent of sales for the quarter from 8.8 percent the prior-year
quarter and 9.3 percent of sales for the first half, compared with 9.9 percent a
year ago.  The decline was largely the result of increased  investment  in sales
training and recruitment and slower progress in  international  markets than had
been anticipated.

As of the beginning of the fiscal year, those businesses  comprising NSI's other
segment no longer include Marketing Services.  On a  comparable-business  basis,
the insulation  service division and the envelope  division  combined for modest
sales  increases  of 3.5 percent  for the quarter and 1.6 percent  year to date.
Gains in the envelope  sector were offset by volume  declines in the  insulation
service  business.  Operating income increased 64 percent for the quarter and 73
percent  for the six months.  The  insulation  business  is enjoying  distinctly
higher margins as operating improvements are taking hold. The envelope business,
benefiting from unit volume gains, is experiencing its best year in some time.

Corporate  expense  for  both  the  second  quarter  and  year to date  reflects
increased  interest  income and  reduced  administrative  expenses.  For the six
months, corporate expense was somewhat higher due in large part to the company's
adoption in the first  quarter of Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
(SFAS) No. 112, "Employers'  Accounting for Postemployment  Benefits," requiring
the accrual of the estimated cost of benefits  provided by an employer to former
or  inactive  employees  after  employment  but before  retirement.  The accrual
relates  primarily to severance  agreements and the liability for life insurance
coverage for certain eligible disabled employees.

The  provision for income taxes was 37.3 percent of pretax income for the second
quarter  and 37.4 for the first  half,  compared  with 37.8 for both  respective
prior-year  periods.  The slight  reduction  in the  effective  tax rate was the
result of the increase in interest income, which is largely nontaxable.
