REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Plan Administrator of
ZEP Manufacturing Company
Profit-Sharing 401(k) Retirement Plan
for Contract Employees:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of ZEP MANUFACTURING COMPANY PROFIT SHARING 401(k) RETIREMENT PLAN FOR
CONTRACT EMPLOYEES as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
1994 and the four-month period ended December 31, 1993. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of ZEP
Manufacturing Company Profit Sharing 401(k) Retirement Plan for Contract
Employees as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the four-month
period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The Fund information in the statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for the purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the changes in net assets available
for benefits of each fund. The Fund information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements,
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

2. TRUST AGREEMENT
Under a trust agreement dated September 1, 1993, as amended, Wachovia Bank of
Georgia, N.A. was appointed trustee of the NSI Defined Contribution Plans Master
Trust (which includes the DC Fixed Income Fund, DC Zep Equity Fund and Common
Stock discussed in Note 1). Certain officers of NSI were appointed
administrators of the Plan's assets together with the income derived therefrom.
Prior to September 1, 1993, the assets of the Plan were included in the NSI
General Retirement Trust (GRT). Under a trust agreement dated March 1, 1978,
Page 10
certain officers of NSI were appointed trustee of the GRT and were
administrators of the Plan's assets and Wachovia Bank of Georgia was the
custodian.
3. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following brief description of the Plan is provided for informational
purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete
information.
The Plan was established as a spin-off from the Zep Manufacturing Company Profit
Sharing Retirement Plan (the Prior Plan) to cover all eligible hourly paid
employees represented by a collective bargaining unit. The Plan is a voluntary,
defined contribution plan covering all union employees of the Company, who have
attained the age of 21, with at least six months of service, as defined.
Participants may contribute between 1% and 10% of before-tax compensation but
not to exceed $8,994 (or such larger amount as may be determined by the
Secretary of Treasury) for any participant in any calendar year. Contributions
are made by the Company in an amount equal to the same percentage of
compensation of participants under this Plan as employer contributions to the
Prior Plan bears to the total compensation of the eligible employees who are
participants under the Prior Plan. The Company contributes 5% of net profits, as
defined. The total of these amounts can be increased for any additional
discretionary amount determined by the Board of Directors of NSI. The maximum
compensation with respect to any participant for purposes of employer
contributions to the Plan is $40,000.
During December 1993, the Plan was amended and restated to allow participant
directed investments effective January 1, 1994. In addition, the Plan year end
was changed from August 31 to December 31. Thus, the accompanying financial
statements are for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the four month period in
the short plan year ended December 31, 1993. The Plan, as amended and restated,
does not permit employer contributions during the short plan year.
Nonvested employer contributions are forfeited upon withdrawal or termination,
as defined, from the Plan and are allocated to remaining participants. Vesting
of employer contributions occurs on an increasing scale ranging from 20% vesting
after three years of service, as defined, to 100% vesting after seven years of
service. Participants are always fully vested in their individual contributions.
Although the Company intends for the Plan to be permanent, the Plan provides
that the Company has the right to discontinue contributions or to terminate the
Plan at any time. In the event of termination, each participant shall be vested
with the balance of his account and his proportionate share of any future
adjustments or forfeitures.

eliminated, or modified from time to time by the Investment Committee. The

and bonds. The fund is designed to provide capital growth and current income

5. PLAN MERGER

in the Zep Plan.
