                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Plan Administrative Committee
of the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan:


In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of the Harsco Corporation
Savings Plan ("Plan") listed in the Index on page 3 of this Form 11-K, present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the
Plan at December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan Administrative Committee; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes and Reportable Transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the
statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in
net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. These supplemental
schedules and fund information are the responsibility of the Plan's
Administrative Committee. The supplemental schedules and fund information have
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.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SAVINGS PLAN


1.       General Description of Plan:

         The following description of the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan (the
         "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to
         the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
         provisions.

         The Plan is a defined contribution plan designed to comply with the
         requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
         ("ERISA") and with the requirements for qualification under Sections
         401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").

         All employees (including officers) who receive a stated weekly, hourly,
         monthly, or annual rate of compensation and are employed by Harsco
         Corporation (the "Company") or any subsidiary of either the Company or
         a subsidiary which adopts this Plan with the approval of the Company
         shall be covered by, or remain covered by, this Plan, are deemed
         "Eligible Employees". Appendix B of the Plan and as amended from time
         to time, shall identify the collective bargaining units representing
         Eligible Employees under this Plan and the date as of which their
         coverage commenced. New employees deemed Eligible Employees under this
         plan are eligible to participate in the plan immediately upon their
         hire date.

         To participate in the Plan, an Eligible Employee must elect to
         contribute to the Plan through payroll deductions each pay period in
         whole percentages from 1% to 16% of compensation received for services
         as an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. The
         participant shall designate what percentage of such contributions will
         be "Pre-Tax Contributions" and what percentage will be "After-Tax
         Contributions." A participant who makes Matched Pre-Tax and/or Matched
         After-Tax Contributions in an aggregate amount of 6% of his or her
         compensation may also elect to contribute from 1% to 10% of his or her
         compensation as an Unmatched Pre-Tax and/or Unmatched After-Tax
         Contribution. In no event during the year may (a) Matched Pre-Tax and
         Matched After-Tax Contributions exceed 6% of compensation, (b)
         Unmatched Pre-Tax and Unmatched After-Tax Contribution exceed 10% of
         compensation or (c) Pre-Tax Contributions exceed the amount specified
         by the Internal Revenue Service code which is $10,000. Pre-Tax
         Contributions shall constitute a reduction in the participant's taxable
         income for purposes of Section 401(k) of the Code but for the purpose
         of the Company's tax deductions, shall be considered contributions made
         by the Company. After-Tax Contributions will be considered to be the
         participant's contributions to the Plan and shall not constitute a
         reduction in the participant's taxable income for the purposes of
         Section 401(k) of the Code.

           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SAVINGS PLAN, (continued)

1.       General Description of Plan: (Continued)

         Pursuant to the Plan, the Company will make contributions in cash to
         the Trustee for the account of each participant in an amount equal to
         50% of the first 6% of such participants' compensation designated as
         Matched Pre-Tax Contributions and/or Matched After-Tax Contributions.
         These contributions are referred to as "Company Matching
         Contributions".

         Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual
         earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's Matching and Prior Match
         Accounts is based on years of vesting service. A Participant is 100%
         vested after five years of credited service.

         The Company pays all administrative fees related to maintaining the
         Plan as a whole. Fees for investment management are subtracted from
         fund performance reported by each fund. Participant directed investment
         fund change fees and Plan record keeping fees are paid by the Company.
         Loan setup fees are paid by the participant setting up the loan.

         Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $500 to a
         maximum of 50% of their vested account balance, not to exceed $50,000.
         Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the respective
         investment fund(s) from (to) the Participant Loans fund. The
         Participant may choose the loan repayment period, not to exceed five
         years. However, the term may be for any period not to exceed 15 years
         if the purpose of the loan is to acquire the Participant's principal
         residence. The loans are collateralized only by the portion of the
         Participant's Account from which the loan is made and bear interest at
         a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined
         periodically by the Plan administrator. Interest rates on outstanding
         loans, based on the Trustee's prime rate plus one percent, ranged from
         7-1/4 to 10% at December 31, 1998. Principal and interest is paid
         ratable through payroll deductions.

         While the Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue the Plan,
         it reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time or discontinue
         contributions thereunder. In the event such discontinuance resulted in
         the termination of the Plan, the accounts of each affected employee who
         has not yet incurred a break in service shall be fully vested. Complete
         distributions or withdrawals would be distributed to Plan Participants
         and beneficiaries in proportion to their respective account balances.

           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SAVINGS PLAN, (continued)

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

         Basis of Accounting:

         The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
         method of accounting.

         Investment Valuation:

         The Harsco Corporation Common Stock is stated at market value, which
         represents the closing price of the stock on the Composite Reporting
         Tape of the stock exchanges on the last day of trading of the calendar
         year. Shares in the Vanguard Index Trust 500 Portfolio, Putnam Fund for
         Growth and Income, Putnam Income Fund, Putnam Voyager Fund, Putnam New
         Opportunities Fund, Putnam Asset Allocation - Growth Portfolio, Putnam
         Asset Allocation - Balanced Portfolio, Putnam Asset Allocation
         Conservative Portfolio, Putnam International Growth Fund, and Putnam
         Money Market Fund, are all stated at fair value, which represents the
         closing price on the last day of trading of the calendar year. Cash,
         which represents funds held until purchases of common stock are
         completed, is stated at fair value.

         Use of Estimates:

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
         and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

         Other:

         The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available
         for Benefits with Fund Information the net appreciation (depreciation)
         in the market value of its investments which consists of the realized
         gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those
         investments.

         The purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date
         basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income from
         other investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

         Both participants' and Company contributions are accrued in the period
         of the related payroll deductions. Forfeitures, a result of participant
         withdrawals prior to their full vesting in the Plan, are used to reduce
         the amount of future Company matching contributions.

         The Plan provides for various investment options as described above.
         Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest
         rate, market, and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with
         certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to
         changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least
         reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could
         materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts
         reported in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits and
         the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits.

4.       Federal Income Taxes:

         The Company received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue
         Service on April 15, 1995, that the Plan, as amended September 15,
         1994, is a qualified plan under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the
         Internal Revenue Code and is therefore exempt from Federal income taxes
         under the provisions of Section 501(a). The Plan has been amended since
         receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and
         the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is
         currently being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions
         of the Internal Revenue Code.

                                   shaded grey and encompasses the upper right

fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less
than their original cost.
