1.   General

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all material
adjustments which are necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of January 31, 1994 and the results of operations and
cash flows for the three months then ended.

     It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's 1993 Form 10K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

2.   Earnings per Share

     Net Income per Common Share:  Net income per common and
common equivalent share, after the reduction for preferred stock
dividends in the amount of $128,000 during the three months ended
January 31, 1994, is based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the year and the common stock
equivalents that have a dilutive effect.  Net income per common
share assuming full dilution is not significantly different than
net income per share as shown.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Condition

    Funds provided from operations and bank borrowings have
historically been the sources for meeting working capital
requirements, financing capital expenditures, acquisitions and
paying cash dividends.  Management believes that funds from these
sources will remain available and adequately serve the Company's
liquidity needs.  The Company has short-term agreements with
several banks for lines of credit totaling $13 million, subject
to annual renewal, at a maximum of the prime interest rate.  On
January 31, 1994, the Company had $2 million outstanding under
these arrangements.  In addition, the Company has a long-term
line of credit of $20 million with a major U.S. bank and, at
January 31, 1994, the Company had borrowed $20 million under this
line.  At the option of the Company, interest is at the com
mercial paper rate plus 1/2%, LIBOR plus 1/2% or at the prime
rate.  The agreement requires the Company, among other things, to
meet certain objectives with respect to financial ratios and
places certain limitations on dividend payments and other outside
borrowing.  The Company is prohibited from declaring or paying
cash dividends exceeding 50% of its net income for any fiscal
year.  This agreement extends through June 30, 1995.  The Company
has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce the
impact of changes in interest rates on a portion of its floating
rate long-term debt.  At January 31, 1994, the Company had
outstanding a swap agreement with a domestic commercial bank,
having a notional principal amount of $15 million.  This
agreement effectively changes the Company's interest rate
exposure on $15 million of its $20 million floating rate debt due
in 1995 to a fixed 5.8%.  The interest rate swap agreement
matures December 10, 1994.  The Company is exposed to credit loss
in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to the
interest rate swap agreement.  However, the Company does not
anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.  In connection
with an acquisition, the Company assumed a note payable in the
amount of $3,818,000 interest on this note of 9.35% is payable
monthly, with principal amounts of $636,000 due annually through
October 1, 1998.  At January 31, 1994, the balance remaining on
this note was $3,181,000.

    At January 31, 1994, working capital was $80.6 million, as
compared to $7,606 million at October 31, 1993.

    Management does not expect its capital expenditures for
fiscal year 1994 to be significant as a percentage of revenues.
Capital expenditures during the first three months of fiscal year
1994 were approximately $2.7 million, as compared with $1.6
million during the same period of fiscal year 1993.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

    In December 1990, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
Employers' Accounting for Post Retirement Benefits Other than
Pensions, which requires the Company to record all post
retirement benefits on an accrual basis.  The Statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1992.
The Company plans to implement this Statement in its fiscal year
beginning November 1, 1993.  Management does not believe that the
adoption of this Statement will have any material effect on the
Company's financial statements.

Effect of Inflation

    The low rates of inflation experienced in recent years have
had no material impact on the financial statements of the
Company.  The Company attempts to recover inflationary costs by
increasing sales prices to the extent permitted by contracts and
competition.

Acquisition

    On March 1, 1994, the Company acquired the operations of
General Maintenance Company, Inc. in Washington D.C.  General
Maintenance provides janitorial services to major commercial
buildings and institutions in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and
Virginia.  At the time of acquisition by the Company, General
Maintenance reported revenues of $18.9 million.  In addition to
the amount paid at closing, contingent payments based upon gross
profit of acquired contracts will be made over the next five
years.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended January 31, 1994 vs. Three Months Ended
January 31, 1993

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements of the Company.  All
information in the discussion and references to the years and
quarters are based on the Company's fiscal year and first quarter
which end on October 31 and January 31, respectively.

<PAGE> 12

    Revenues and other income (hereafter called revenues) for the
first three months of fiscal year 1994 were $211 million compared
to $187 million in 1993, a 13% increase over the prior fiscal
year.  As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses and cost
of goods sold were 86.1% during the three months of fiscal year
1994 compared to 85.4% for the same period in 1993.
Consequently, as a percentage of revenues, gross profit (revenue
minus operating expenses and cost of goods sold) was 13.9% for
the three months ended January 31, 1994, as compared to 14.6% for
the same period of fiscal year 1993.  The erosion of gross profit
margin was primarily due to competitive market conditions
resulting in lower bids to retain existing customers and was
partially offset by a decrease of approximately $570,000 in self-
insurance expense.

    Selling and administrative expense for the three months of
fiscal year 1994 was $24 million compared to $23 million for the
corresponding three months of fiscal year 1993.  As a percentage
of revenues, selling and administrative expense decreased
slightly from 12.2% for the three months ended January 31, 1993
to 11.3% for the same period in 1994.  The increase in the dollar
amount of selling and administrative expense for the three months
ended January 31, 1994, compared to the same period in 1993, is
primarily due to revenue growth and expense associated with
acquisitions.

    Interest expense was $717,000 for the first three months of
fiscal year 1994 compared to $376,000 in 1993, an increase of
$341,000 over the same period of the prior fiscal year.  Interest
expense increased due to higher bank borrowings related to recent
acquisitions, during the three months ended January 31, 1994
compared to 1993.

    The effective income tax rate for the first three months of
both fiscal year 1994 and 1993 was 42%.

    Net income for the first three months of fiscal year 1994 was
$2,827,000, an increase of 19.8%, compared to the prior year's
net income of $2,359,000.  However, due to the increase in
average shares outstanding and a preferred stock dividend of
$128,000, earnings per common share increased 11% to 31 cents for
the first three months of 1994 compared to 28 cents for the same
period in 1993.

    The results of operations from the Company's three industry
segments and its operating divisions for the three months ended
January 31, 1994 as compared to the three months ended January
31, 1993 are more fully described below:

       Revenues of the Janitorial Services segment for the first
       quarter of fiscal year 1994 were $114 million, an increase
       of $5 million, or 5% over the first quarter of fiscal
       1993, while its operating profits increased by 2% over the
       comparable quarter of 1993.  Janitorial Services accounted
       for approximately 54% of the Company's revenues for the
       current quarter.  The Janitorial Division's revenues
       increased by 5% during the first quarter of fiscal year
       1994 as compared to the same quarter of 1993 primarily as
       a result of acquisitions made during the latter half of
       fiscal year 1993 and to a lesser extent, increases
       recorded by this Division's Northeast and Northwest
       Regions.  As a result of the revenue increase, this
       Division's operating profits increased 3% when compared to
       the same period last year.  Decreases in labor-related and
       insurance expenses contributed to a small improvement in
       gross margin for this division during the first quarter of
       the fiscal year 1994 over the same quarter of the prior
       year.  However, higher selling and administrative expenses
       offset the gross margin improvement, and as a result, the
       Division was not able to realize better operating profits.
       The Janitorial Supply Division's first quarter revenue
       increased by approximately 12% compared to the same
       quarter in 1993 generally due to new customers in Northern
       California.  A decrease of 20% in operating profits was a
       result of erosion of gross margins caused by very
       competitive market conditions which more than offset the
       benefit derived from the wholesale distributor program
       discussed in previous periods.

<PAGE> 14

       Amtech Services reported revenues of $56 million, which
       represent approximately 26% of the Company's revenues for
       the first quarter of fiscal year 1994, an increase of
       approximately 10% over the same quarter of last year.
       Amtech Services profit increased 15% compared to the first
       quarter of fiscal year 1993.  The Mechanical Division's
       operating profits for the first quarter of 1994 decreased
       by 31% caused mainly by a 4% drop in revenues including
       the loss of a large customer, as well as a decline in its
       construction/installation business.   Although this
       Division has reduced its overhead, it was not sufficient
       to offset the loss of gross margins from lower revenues.
       The Lighting Division reported a 6% revenue increase by
       the addition of new branches in the Southeast and an
       expanded customer contract base.  Operating profits
       decreased by 22% during the first quarter of fiscal year
       1994 due to startup costs associated with opening several
       branches.  Revenues for the Elevator Division were up by
       15% for the first quarter of fiscal year 1994 over the
       same quarter of 1993 largely due to increased business in
       construction and modernization.  The Division posted an
       operating profit for the first quarter compared to a loss
       for the corresponding quarter of fiscal year 1993.  Major
       cost reductions and closing of unprofitable locations, as
       well as improved market conditions, enabled this Division
       to return to profitability.  The Engineering Division's
       revenues increased by 15% and it reported a 44% increase
       in operating profits in the first quarter of 1994 compared
       to the same period in 1993.  Revenues increased generally
       from new business and price increases to its existing
       customers.  The increase in operating profits resulted
       from increased revenues and reductions in insurance and
       other payroll related costs.

       Revenues of the Other Services segment for the first
       quarter of 1994 were approximately $41 million, a 47%
       increase over the same quarter of fiscal year 1993.  Other
       Services accounted for approximately 20% of the Company's
       revenues.  The operating profits of Other Services were up
       by 70% primarily due to its Parking Division.  The Parking
       Division's revenues increased by 116% and its profits
       increased by 141% during the first quarter of fiscal year
       1994.  The increase in revenues is primarily due to the
       acquisitions of a parking business in Northern California
       and of System Parking as discussed in previous periods.
       The increase in operating profits was primarily due to
       contributions made by these acquisitions.  The Security
       Division reported a slight decrease in revenues but its
       profits increased by 30% in the first quarter of 1994
       compared to the same period of 1993.  The increase in
       operating income during the first quarter as compared to
       the first quarter of the prior year was due to a cost
       reduction program implemented by management to help offset
       anticipated decreases in gross profit margins and a
       reduction in insurance expense.  The Property Services
       Division's revenues increased by 62% for the first quarter
       of 1994 as compared to the same period of 1993 while its
       profits more than doubled during the period.  Increases in
       revenues and operating profits are attributable to new
       accounts and obtaining a multibranch bank consulting
       contract on the East Coast during the Spring of 1993.
