Report of Independent Public Accountants


To the Plan Administrator of
Selig Chemical Industries Retirement Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of SELIG CHEMICAL  INDUSTRIES  RETIREMENT PLAN as of December 31,  1994 and 1993
and the related  statements of changes in net assets  available for benefits for
the year ended December 31, 1994 and the four-month  period ending  December 31,
1993.  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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  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.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the net assets available for benefits of Selig Chemical
Industries  Retirement Plan as of December 31,  1994 and 1993 and the changes in
net assets  available for benefits for the year ended  December 31, 1994 and the
four-month period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The Fund information in the statement of
changes in net assets  available  for benefits is presented  for the purposes of
additional  analysis rather than to present the changes in net assets available
for  benefits  of each fund.  The Fund  information  has 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.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The accounts of the Selig Chemical  Industries (the  "Company")  Retirement Plan
(the  "Plan"),  a division  of National  Service  Industries,  Inc.  ("NSI") are
maintained  by the  trustee on the cash basis of  accounting.  The  accompanying
financial  statements  have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting
by application of memorandum entries.

Investment in NSI Defined Contribution Fixed Income Fund

As  of  January  1,  1993,  the  Plan's  assets  were  commingled  in a  Defined
Contribution Fixed Income Fund ("DC Fixed Income Fund") together with the assets
of certain profit  sharing plans of other NSI  divisions.  Investments of the DC
Fixed Income Fund are  reflected at market  values  determined  by the custodian
from publicly stated price information. These investments are subject to certain
administrative  guidelines  and  limitations as to type and amount of securities
held.  Certain  fund assets are  allocated  to selected  independent  investment
managers to invest  under the general DC Fixed Income Fund  guidelines.  The net
gain from investments in the DC Fixed Income Fund in the accompanying Statements
of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits reflects interest income on
guaranteed investment contracts and master notes.

Effective January 1, 1994, participants of the Plan can direct the investment of
their accounts into the various options discussed in Note 4. Prior to January 1,
1994,  the assets of the Plan were invested at the  discretion of the Investment
Committee.

Summarized  financial  information  of the DC Fixed  Income  Fund for the period
September 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993, is presented as follows:

Interest and dividend income ...................   $ 1,464,731

Effective  January  1,  1994,  the  Plan's  assets  were  invested  in a Defined
Contribution  Master  Trust ("DC Master  Trust").  Investments  of the DC Master
Trust are reflected at market values  determined by the custodian  from publicly
stated   price   information.   These   investments   are   subject  to  certain

Tax Status

The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service dated  September 30,  1986, and is qualified under the Internal  Revenue
Code (the "Code") as exempt from federal income taxes. The Plan has been amended
and  restated  since  receiving  the  determination  letter.  However,  the plan
administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and is being operated
in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore,  the plan
administrator  believes  that the Plan was  qualified and that the related trust
was tax-exempt as of December 31, 1994.


2. TRUST AGREEMENT

Under a trust agreement dated  September 1, 1993, as amended,  Wachovia Bank of
Georgia, N.A. was appointed trustee of the NSI Defined Contribution Plans Master
Trust  (which  includes  the DC Fixed  Income Fund assets  discussed in Note ).
Certain  officers  of NSI were  appointed  administrators  of the Plan's  assets
together with the income derived therefrom.

3. PLAN DESCRIPTION

The  following  brief  description  of the Plan is  provided  for  informational
purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete
information.

The Plan, as amended and restated  effective  September 1,  1989, and as further
amended   through   January 1,    1994,   incorporates   the   requirements   of
Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"),  as amended from time to time.
The Plan is a voluntary, defined contribution plan covering all employees of the
Company who have attained the age of 21 with one year of service during which at

<PAGE>

Page 9

least  1,000  hours of  employment  are  completed.  Prior to  January 1,  1994,
employees need six consecutive months of service during which at least 500 hours
of  employment  are  completed.  Contributions  are  made  by  the  Company  and
participants  of the Plan. The company  contributes an amount equal to 5% of net
profits, as defined.  Participants contribute between 2% and 15% (between 2% and
8% prior to January 1,  1994) of their before tax compensation but not to exceed
$8,994 (or such larger amount as may be determined by the Secretary of Treasury)
for any participant in any plan year. Vesting of employer  contributions  occurs
on an increasing scale ranging from 20% vesting after three years of service, as
defined,  to 100% vesting after seven years of service.  Forfeitures of employer
contributions are allocated among the remaining  participants.  Participants are
always fully vested in their individual contributions.  All expenses of the Plan
are paid by the Company.

During  December  1993,  the Plan was amended and restated to allow  participant
directed investments effective January 1,  1994. In addition,  the Plan year end
was changed from  August 31 to  December 31.  Thus, the  accompanying  financial
statements are for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the four month period in
the short plan year ended December 31,  1993. The Plan, as amended and restated,
does not permit employer contributions during the short plan year.

Although the Company  intends for the Plan to be  permanent,  the Plan  provides
that the Company has the right to discontinue  contributions or to terminate the
Plan at any time. In the event of termination,  each participant shall be vested
with the  balance  of his  account  and his  proportionate  share of any  future
adjustments or forfeitures.

4. PLAN INVESTMENT OPTIONS

The  separate  investment  funds made  available  under the Plan may be changed,
eliminated,  or  modified  from time to time by the  Investment  Committee.  The
separate investment funds offered by the Plan are:

*Diversified  Equity Fund.  This fund is a  diversified  stock fund  designed to
invest in a broad range of common stocks providing capital growth.

*Stable  Value Fund.  This is a fixed income fund which is designed to provide a
steady level of current income while focusing on preservation of principal.

*Balanced  Fund.  This fund is invested in a changing mix of high quality stocks
and bonds.  The fund is designed to provide  capital  growth and current  income
while limiting the risk of principal loss.

*NSI Stock Fund. This fund is invested in NSI common stock, although it may hold
other short-term investments from time to time.
