twenty-seven week periods ended July 2, 1995 and the thirteen and twenty-six
week periods ended June 26, 1994. These condensed consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of C. H. Heist Corp. and subsidiaries
as of December 25, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of earnings,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated February 3, 1995, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 25, 1994, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND THE FINANCIAL CONDITION





Results of Operations

Sales increased during the current quarter by $404,000 or 1.6% and for the year
  to date period by $1,748,000 or 3.6%. Sales in the temporary staffing
  segment decreased $354,000 or 3.3% and increased by $1,240,000 or 6.2% during
  the current quarter and year to date, respectively. Sales in the industrial
  maintenance segment increased $758,000 or 5.3% and $508,000 or 1.8% during the
  current quarter and year to date, respectively. The decrease in the temporary
  staffing segment, for the quarter, was due to the loss of a few customers that
  implemented national contracts with competitors. The Company's policy prevents
  contracting high volume, low margin work, as in, these national agreements.
  Increases in painting sales, primarily in Canada, where we have a contract to
  paint the Peace Bridge were offset by the industrial maintenance sales
  decrease in the Heist Field Services division.

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased from 13.0% to 15.5% and 7.6% to
  13.5% during the current quarter and year to date, respectively. The
  Company did not have the substantial losses in the current fiscal quarter that
  were incurred in the prior year's comparable fiscal quarter at the Heist Field
  Services division. The Company has made major changes in the past year to
  achieve profitable results, in this division, but due to job postponements and
  very competitive pricing, such results have not been achieved.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $288,000 or 11.2% for
  the quarter and $842,000 or 15.9% for the first six months. The
  increases resulted from the upgrade of information systems to accommodate
  planned growth, consulting services to design a management reporting system
  that follows the Economic Value Added (EVA') model, implementing an automated
  retrieval system in temporary staffing offices and personnel additions to
  strengthen the service to our customers.

Interest income increased due to excess cash invested at higher rates in the
  Canadian subsidiary. Interest expense increased due to higher interest
  rates on borrowed funds in the United States. Sales of fully utilized
  equipment resulted in a gain on sale of property, plant and equipment, net.
  Intangible assets relating to two acquisitions were fully amortized in 1994,
  resulting in the decrease in amortization of the assets in 1995. Collectively
  the above caused the decrease in other expense, net.

The effective tax rate is 56.6% for the current quarter and 81.3 % year to
  date. The difference between the estimated effective rate and the
  current quarter and year to date rates is caused by the reverse of the tax
  benefit recorded in the first quarter and by the effect of state franchise
  taxes. State taxes are owned in many states even when losses are incurred. The
  effective rates used in determining income taxes on the condensed consolidated
  statements of earnings are higher due to the interaction of actual results
  among the Company's domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions compared to the
  results estimated for the year. If earning projections do not change
  significantly, the Company expects that the year to date effective tax rate
  over the next two quarters will move towards the expected 46% rate.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND THE FINANCIAL CONDITION,
                                   CONTINUED




Financial Condition

The current ratio is 3.5 to 1 for the current fiscal quarter compared to 3.1 to
  1 as of December 25, 1994. The quick ratio is 2.9 to 1 compared to 2.7
  to 1 as of December 25, 1994. Long-term debt increased $2,500,000 leaving open
  credit commitments at Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company of $2,400,000
  and at the Royal Bank of Canada of $357,000 (the U.S. dollar equivalent).

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $371,000 primarily due to a decrease in
  accounts receivable, net earnings, depreciation, increase in accounts
  payable and line of credit borrowing, offset by expenditures for additions to
  property, plant and equipment, increases in prepaid expenses and reduction in
  accrued expenses and income taxes payable.

Capital expenditures for the current fiscal quarter were $2,062,000. Of this
  amount $671,000 was for new equipment, $357,000 was for computer
  equipment and software and the remainder for replacement equipment.
  Commitments at July 2, 1995 were $388,000 of which $36,000 was for computer
  equipment and software and $352,000 was for new equipment.
