REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Plan Administrative Committee
of the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
with fund information and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits with fund information present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits with fund information of the
Harsco Corporation Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information for the
year ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. 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 of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States, 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 Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits with Fund Information
is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. 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"). Also eligible are employees covered by a
collective bargaining agreement where the agreement provides for the
employees' eligibility to participate in the plan. New employees
deemed Eligible Employees under this Plan are eligible to participate
in the Plan as of the first payroll of January, April July or October
after the date of hire.
To participate in the Plan, an Eligible Employee must elect to
contribute to the Plan through payroll deductions each pay period.
Contributions are 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 (IRS) code which was $10,000
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999. 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 participant's 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 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
7.25% to 10% at December 31, 1999. Principal and interest is paid
ratably through payroll deductions.
On termination of service due to death, disability, or retirement, a
participant may elect one of three options. The participant may elect
to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the
participant's vested interest in his or her account; a portion paid in
a lump-sum, and the remainder paid later; or annual installments over
not more than fifteen years. For termination of service for other
reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in
his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.
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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Accounting:
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
basis 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. Participant loans are valued at
cost which approximates 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 additions
and deductions 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 purchase and sale 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.

(10) Putnam International Growth Fund - (consisting of investments
purchased with participant directed contributions): a growth
oriented fund consisting of investments in a diversified
portfolio of stocks of companies located mainly outside the
United States.
(11) Putnam Money Market Fund - (consisting of investments
purchased with participant directed contributions): a fund
consisting of short-term high-quality money market securities.
Investments in this fund are neither insured nor guaranteed by
the U.S. government.
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.
There were 6,449 participants at December 31, 1999 who participated in
one or more of the eleven investment funds. At December 31, 1999 the
number of participants selecting each of the investment funds for their
contributions was as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SAVINGS PLAN, continued
4. Related-Party Transactions:
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Putnam
Investments. Putnam Investments is the trustee as defined by the Plan,
and therefore, transactions in these funds qualify as party-in-interest
transactions. Transactions in the Harsco Stock Fund also qualify as
party-in-interest transactions.
5. 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. The Company has submitted the Plan
as amended to the Internal Revenue Service for a determination of
continued qualification. 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.
