                       C. H. HEIST CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

                                  (Unaudited)





1.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying condensed consolidated
       financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary
       to present a fair statement of consolidated financial position as of
       April 2, 1995 and December 25, 1994, and the results of operations and
       cash flows for the fourteen-week period ended April 2, 1995 and the
       thirteen-week period ended March 27, 1994.

    The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Sunday of December.  For fiscal
       1995, the Company's operations include 53 weeks.  Therefore, the period 
       ended April 2, 1995 includes fourteen weeks while the period ended 
       March 27, 1994 includes thirteen weeks.

2.  The results of operations for the fourteen-week period ended April 2, 1995
       and the thirteen-week period ended March 27, 1994 are not necessarily
       indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.  The changes in stockholders' equity for the fourteen-week period ended
       April 2, 1995 are summarized as follows:

                      Independent Auditors' Review Report



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
C. H. Heist Corp.:


We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of C. H. Heist Corp.
and subsidiaries as of April 2, 1995, and the related condensed consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the fourteen-week period ended
April 2, 1995 and the thirteen-week period ended March 27, 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 operations,
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 presented, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONDENSED
            CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS AND STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS





Results of Operations

Sales in the temporary staffing segment increased $1,595,000 or 16.9% and
    decreased in the industrial maintenance segment $250,000 or 1.8%, resulting
    in an overall increase of $1,345,000 or 5.9%  The increase in temporary
    staffing is due to greater penetration in the market areas served and
    overall increased demand for temporary personnel.  The decrease in
    industrial maintenance sales was due to closing three operating offices
    resulting in a sales decrease of $689,000.  Sales in Heist Field Services
    division (OMSI until May 1, 1995) decreased $1,374,000.  In this division,
    turnaround work decreased $2,217,000 and field service repair increased
    $843,000.  The decrease in turnaround work was due to job postponements
    until later in the year.  The field service repair increase was the result
    of a major project at a chemical plant that will be reopened later this
    year.  The decreases in the Heist Field Services division were offset by
    increases in painting sales of $1,460,000, primarily painting canal locks
    in Canada, increases in conventional equipment related sales of $745,000,
    due to greater demand for these services in existing markets, and an
    increase of $108,000 in insulation application and material sales.

Gross profit as a percent of sales increased from 1.8% to 11.4%.  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, but due to the job postponements and very
    competitive pricing, such results have not been achieved.  Marketing
    efforts are now being focused on target customers, and effective May 1,
    1995 the name has been changed to "Heist Field Services" because the Heist
    name is more clearly established in the marketplace for quality and
    service.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $554,000 or 20.3%.
    Costs incurred were to upgrade information systems to accommodate planned
    growth, consulting services to design a management reporting system that
    follows the Economic Value Added (EVA(R)) model, implementing an automated
    retrieval system in Ablest branch offices and personnel additions to
    strengthen the service to our customers.

Interest income increased due to increased amounts of excess cash invested at
    higher rates, on those investments in Canada.  Interest expense increased
    due to higher interest rates on borrowed funds.  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
    resulting in the decrease in amortization of the assets.  Collectively the
    above caused the decrease in other expense, net.

Income tax benefits as a percent of pre tax loss was 39.3% for the current
    fiscal quarter.  This represents the anticipated effective rate for 1995.
    The effective tax rate in the remaining quarters of the fiscal year may
    fluctuate as actual results are recorded.

Financial Position

The current and quick ratios were 3.4 to 1 and 2.7 to 1 for the current fiscal
    quarter compared to 3.1 to 1 and 2.7 to 1 as of December 25, 1994,
    respectively.  Long-term debt increased $1,187,000 leaving open credit
    commitments at Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company of $3,800,000 and
    the Royal Bank of Canada of $357,000 (the U.S. dollar equivalent).

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $953,000 during the current fiscal
    quarter primarily due to decreases in accounts receivable, depreciation,
    and line of credit borrowing offset by the net loss for the period,
    expenditures for additions to property, plant and equipment, increases in
    prepaid expenses and reduction in accrued expenses.

Capital expenditures for the current fiscal quarter were $1,570,000. Of this
    amount $658,000 was for new equipment, $263,000 was for computer equipment
    and software and the remainder for replacement equipment.  Commitments at
    April 2, 1995 were $367,000 of which $75,000 was for computer equipment and
    software and $292,000 was for new equipment.
