August 31, 1994 has been  derived  from  audited  statements.  These  statements
reflect all adjustments,  all of which are of a normal,  recurring nature, which

financial  position as of May 31, 1995, the  consolidated  results of operations
for the  three  months  and nine  months  ended May 31,  1995 and 1994,  and the
consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended May 31, 1995 and 1994. Certain
prior-year   amounts  have  been   reclassified  to  conform  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 nine months  ended May 31,
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' financial position remained strong at May 31, 1995.
Net working capital was $421.5  million,  compared with $413.1 million at August
31, 1994, and the current ratio was 3.1, compared with 3.2 at year end. Cash and
short-term  investments  grew to $68.2 million,  up from $61.2 million at August
31. For the nine months ended May 31, 1995,  the company  invested $41.8 million
in capital  expenditures  and  acquisitions.  Long-term debt and other long-term
liabilities  were  13.7  percent  of total  capitalization,  compared  with 13.2
percent at year end. Cash provided by operations was $100.1 million, up slightly
from $99.8 million for the nine months last year.

Capital expenditures,  exclusive of acquisition spending, were $39.2 million for
the nine  months  this year and $30.1  million  for the same  period  last year.
During the third quarter, the Lighting Equipment division continued to invest in
manufacturing  equipment  replacements  and improvements and the construction of
its production facility in Monterrey,  Mexico. The facility has begun production
since  the  end of the  third  quarter.  Textile  Rental  division  expenditures
included  fleet  upgrades,   facility  improvements,   and  information  systems
enhancements.  Prior-year  spending was primarily  the result of 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 of $2.7  million in the current year was mainly due to the
Lighting  Equipment  division's  acquisition  of the assets of Infranor  Canada,
Inc., a small  high-performance  outdoor lighting products company.  Acquisition
spending in the prior year was minimal.

Dividend  payments for the nine months  totaled $40.6  million,  or 83 cents per
share,  compared with $39.7 million,  or 80 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 ended May 31, 1995, the company purchased 272,000 shares
of its common stock for $7.1 million. For the year-to-date period, approximately
947,000  shares have been  purchased  at a cost of $24.1  million.  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 $10
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' net income for the fiscal third quarter ended May
31, 1995, increased 11.8 percent to $25.6 million.  Earnings per share increased
to 53 cents from 46 cents,  or 14.7  percent.  Approximately  1.2 million  fewer
shares were outstanding on average in the latest third quarter.

Sales for the quarter  totaled $505.8  million,  an increase of $24.8 million or
5.2 percent.  Adjusted for the divestiture of the Marketing  Services  division,
which contributed $8.6 million to third quarter sales a year earlier,  the sales
gain was 7.1 percent.

Sales for the nine months ended May 31 increased  5.2 percent to $1.45  billion.
Net income was $64.3  million,  up $5.9  million or 10.2  percent  from the same
period a year ago.  Earnings  per share  increased  14 cents or 11.9  percent to
$1.32. An average of 758,000 fewer shares were outstanding for the nine months.

The  Lighting  Equipment  division  again led NSI's  quarterly  results as sales
increased 12.4 percent to $216.0 million.  For the nine-month period, sales rose
13.2 percent to $620.5 million.  Increases in both periods resulted largely from
higher unit sales than in the prior year. Operating profit grew 22.4 percent for
the quarter to 7.5 percent of revenues compared with 6.9 percent the prior third
quarter. For the nine months,  operating income was 6.8 percent of revenues,  up
from 6.3 percent the prior  year-to-date.  Both fluorescent and  non-fluorescent
product segments achieved gains as higher unit volumes more than compensated for
higher product costs.

Textile  Rental  division  revenues  reached  $142.0 million for the quarter and
$409.9 million  year-to-date,  ahead about one percent for both periods.  Modest
sales increases were recorded in each of the division's market segments with the
exception  of  healthcare,  which  continues  to be  very  competitive.  For the
quarter, operating income advanced to 11.3 percent of revenues from 10.8 percent
the prior third quarter.  For the nine months,  operating income declined to 8.5
percent of revenues from 9.2 percent the prior year-to-date.  Labor and delivery
cost improvements benefited both current-year periods but were not sufficient to
offset higher merchandise amortization for the year-to-date.

The Chemical  sector  reported a third quarter sales  increase of 6.3 percent to
$91.1  million and a  year-to-date  increase  of 6.4 percent to $259.3  million.
Gains were  predominantly the result of higher unit volumes.  Operating earnings
declined to 8.1 percent of revenues for the quarter and 8.9 percent year-to-date
from 9.4  percent  and 9.7  percent in the  comparable  periods  last year.  The
declines  resulted from the sector's  increased  investment  in  recruiting  and
training  sales  representatives  and because of  increases in some raw material
costs.

The remaining businesses comprising NSI's other segment,  Insulation Service and
Envelopes, combined for revenue increases of 4.9 percent for the quarter and 2.7
percent  for the nine  months.  Operating  income,  absent  the  results  of the
divested Marketing  Services  division,  rose approximately 27.0 percent for the
quarter to 6.8 percent of revenues,  from 5.6 percent the year earlier  quarter,
and almost 53 percent year-to-date to 6.5 percent of revenues,  from 4.4 percent
a  year  ago.  The   Insulation   business  is  benefiting   from  job  tracking
improvements,  and the Envelope  division  gains are resulting  from higher unit
volumes.

Corporate  expense  benefited in both the third  quarter and  year-to-date  from
increased  interest  income and reduced  administrative  expenses.  Year-to-date
corporate  expense  reflects  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 37.6 percent of pretax income for the third
quarter and 37.5 percent for the nine months,  down from 37.8 for the 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.
