NATIONAL SERVICE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the company without audit and the condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of August 31, 1993 has been derived from audited statements. These
statements reflect all adjustments, all of which are of a normal, recurring
nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly
the consolidated financial position as of November 30, 1993, the consolidated
results of operations for the three months ended November 30,  l993 and 1992,
and the consolidated cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 1993
and 1992.  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, 1993.

The results of operations for the three months ended  November 30,  1993 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.

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 completed the first quarter of fiscal 1994 in a
strong financial position.  Net working  capital was $312.3 million, compared
with $313.2 million at August 31, 1993, and the current ratio increased
slightly to 2.4, compared with 2.3 at year end. Cash and short-term
investments were $28.5 miillion, up from $20.6 million at August 31.  For the
quarter ended November 30, 1993, the company invested $11.4 million in
capital expenditures and acquisitions. Long-term debt and other long-term
liabilities were 7.3 percent of total capitalization, unchanged from year
end.  Cash provided by operations was $34.1 million, compared with $29.4
million for the first quarter last year.

Capital  expenditures, exclusive of acquisition spending, were $11.0 million
for the first quarter this year and $11.4 million for the same period last
year.  Current-quarter spending was primarily the result of facilities and
manufacturing process improvements in the lighting equipment division and
wastewater compliance projects and fleet upgrading in the textile rental
division.  Prior-year spending was attributable to capacity expansion in the
chemical division, information systems enhancements in the lighting equipment
division, and cost reduction expenditures in each of these and the textile
rental division.

Acquisition spending of $95.1 million in the first quarter last year resulted
from the chemical division's acquisitions of Kleen Canada, Inc., a Canadian
manufacturer of specialty chemicals, and Graham International, a privately
held, European specialty chemical business, and the textile rental division's
acquisition of Initial Services Investments, Inc., an industrial uniform and
dust control business.  The effect of the acquisitions on the consolidated
income statements is further discussed under "Results of Operations."  

Dividend payments totaled $12.9 million,  or 26 cents per share, during the
first quarter this year, compared with $12.4 million, or 25 cents per share,
for the same period last year.  The quarterly dividend rate has been
increased 3.8 percent to 27 cents per share effective January, 1994.

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.  The
Initial acquisition was a cash transaction.  The Graham acquisition in Europe
was funded primarily through short-term debt financing, which was repaid
during the remainder of the 1993 fiscal year.  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
consistent with levels of recent years, which were $36 million in 1993, $43
million in 1992, and $58 million in 1991.  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  $124 million, of which $82
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 first fiscal quarter
increased 3.2 percent to $19.2 million.  Sales for the quarter, which ended
November 30, 1993, increased 5.9 percent to $460 million.  Earnings per share
of 39 cents were 3.1 percent higher than the 38 cents per share reported in
the first quarter last year.  Income before taxes advanced 4.9 percent, but
an increase in the effective tax rate reduced the net income advance to 3.2
percent.

The lighting equipment division reported an excellent quarter as sales
improved 11.7 percent to $182 million from $163 million the prior year.  The
improvement was entirely the result of volume gains.  Operating profit
advanced 21 percent to 6.5 percent of revenues, up from 6.0 percent last
year, due largely to divisional cost containment measures.

Results of the textile rental division were relatively flat.  Revenues  of
$135 million  were slightly behind the prior-year quarter due to lost volume.
 Operating profit was 8.3 percent of revenues, up slightly from 8.1 percent
the same period last year, as a result of lower general and administrative
expenses.

Sales of the chemical segment rose 7.7 percent to $82 million from $76
million the prior year.  The improvement came primarily from domestic
markets. The European operation contributed $1.7 million of the increase on a
full quarter's sales versus two months last year.  Operating  profit was 
11.0 percent of revenues, down  from  12.0  percent a  year ago. European and
Canadian results continued to be soft with operating margins lower than those
in the U.S.  The European operation improved due to cost reduction programs.

Sales of the divisions included in NSI's other sector advanced 4.0 percent. 
The envelope division reported an excellent quarter resulting from pricing
gains and a reduction in operating costs.  The insulation and marketing
services sectors contributed only marginally to earnings due to reduced
volume and higher personnel-related expenses.

Corporate income did not change materially from the first quarter last year
as a reduction in interest income due to lower short-term investments was
virtually offset by less unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations.  Interest expense was about even with the prior-year period.

The first quarter provision for income taxes was 37.8 percent of pretax
income, compared with 36.7 percent for the same period last year.  The 1994
rate was increased as a result of the Omnibus Budget Act of 1993.  Changes in
the year-to-year percentages also result from variation in the relative
amount of tax exempt income.
