                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                       For the Quarter Ended June 30, 1996
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by NSC Corporation  (the "Company") and reflect all  adjustments,  consisting of
only normal  recurring  adjustments,  which are,  in the opinion of  management,
necessary  for a fair  presentation  of financial  results for the three and six
month  periods  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995,  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial reporting and pursuant to
Article 10 of  Regulation  S-X.  Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures
normally included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and  regulations.  These interim  consolidated  financial
statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the Company's  Annual Report to
Stockholders  on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1995. The results of
operations  for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are
not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The accompanying interim consolidated  financial statements include the accounts
of the  Company  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  The Company is a Delaware
corporation and is owned  approximately 40% by OHM Corporation and approximately
40% by Rust International Inc..

Seasonality. The revenues derived from the Company's asbestos-abatement services
are  affected by the timing of its  clients'  planned  asbestos-abatement  work.
Because  of  this  change  in  demand,  the  Company's  quarterly  revenues  can
fluctuate.  Revenues and operating results of asbestos-abatement  activities may
also be further affected by the timing of large contracts,  especially if all or
a substantial part of the performance of such contracts occurs within one or two
quarters  while  the  revenues  and  operating  results  of the  demolition  and
dismantling  activities  may be affected by  fluctuations  in the price of scrap
metals. Accordingly, quarterly or other interim results should not be considered
indicative  of  results  to be  expected  for any other  quarter or for the full
fiscal year.

Net Income Per Share  Information.  The net income per share  amounts  have been
computed by  dividing  net income by the  weighted-average  number of common and
common-equivalent  shares,  if  dilutive,   outstanding  during  the  respective
periods.

Reclassifications.  Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made to  prior  year
financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.

Note 2 - Debt

On May 1, 1996 the Company  amended its May 4, 1993 revolving  credit  facility.
Under this  amendment  the Company can borrow up to  $25,000,000  on a revolving
basis for a term expiring April 30, 1999. The amended  revolving credit facility
contains debt service coverage,  leverage and interest  covenants and allows for
payment  of  dividends  subject  to certain  conditions  (See  Exhibit 10 of the
Quarterly  Report on form 10Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1996).  As of June
30, 1996 the Company had outstanding $8,000,000 in letters of credit.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

                              Results of Operations

General.  The  following  discussion  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the
information set forth in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes
for the  three and six  month  periods  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995  included
herein,  and with the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

The  Company  is a  leading  provider  of  asbestos-abatement  and  other  other
specialty  contracting  services to a broad range of commercial,  industrial and
institutional  clients,  which are located  throughout  the United  States.  The
timing of revenues is dependent on the Company's  backlog,  contract  awards and
the performance requirements of each contract.  Generally, cost of services as a
percentage of net revenues fluctuates based on the amount and timing of revenues
earned,  the mix of projects  requiring  union or non-union  labor,  pricing and
other factors.
                        Three Months Ended June 30, 1996
                                     Versus
                        Three Months Ended June 30, 1995

Revenues.  Revenues  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996  increased 1% to
$32,147,000  from  $31,966,000  for the same  period in 1995.  The  increase  in
revenues is the net result of decreased  asbestos-abatement  related revenue and
the inclusion of $5,138,000 revenues generated by Olshan Demolishing Management,
Inc. (ODMI). The decrease in asbestos-abatement  related revenue is the combined
result of fewer market opportunities and increased  selectivity in the Company's
pursuit of  contract  opportunities  for 1996 as  compared to the same period in
1995.

Gross  Profit.  Gross  profit as a  percentage  of revenues for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 remained constant at approximately 17%.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses  (SG&A)  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996
increased 5% to $4,041,000 from $3,862,000 for the same period in 1995. The SG&A
expenses as a percentage  of revenue for the three month period in 1996 were 13%
compared to 12% for the same period in 1995.  The  increase in SG&A costs is due
to the inclusion of the ODMI activities.

Other  (Income) and Expenses.  Other  (income) and expenses for the three months
ended June 30,  1996 were  ($40,000)  compared to $81,000 for the same period in
1995. The net decrease of $121,000 is primarily  attributable  to lower interest
expense due to the repayment in full of the Company's long-term debt.

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased 13% to
$557,000 from  $493,000 for the same period in 1995.  Net income as a percentage
of revenues  for the three month  period  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995  remained
constant  at  approximately  2%. The  increase in Net Income for the three month
period  ended  June 30,  1996 is  primarily  due to the  reduction  of  interest
expense.

                         Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
                                     Versus
                         Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

Revenues.  Revenues  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996  increased  11% to
$67,970,000  from  $61,510,000  for the same  period in 1995.  The  increase  in
revenues is the net result of decreased  asbestos-abatement  related revenue and
the  inclusion  of  $11,214,000  revenues  generated  by ODMI.  The  decrease in
asbestos-abatement  related  revenue  is the  combined  result  of fewer  market
opportunities  and increased  selectivity  in the Company's  pursuit of contract
opportunities for 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses (SG&A) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased
10% to $8,495,000  from  $7,747,000 for the same period in 1995 primarily due to
the  inclusion of the ODMI  activities.  The SG&A  expenses as a  percentage  of
revenue  for the six month  period in 1996 and 1995  remained  constant  at 13%.

Other  (Income)  and  Expenses.  Other  (income) and expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 were $0  compared  to $198,000  for the same period in 1995.
The  decrease is primarily  attributable  to lower  interest  expense due to the
repayment in full of the Company's long-term debt.

Net Income.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996  increased 57% to
$1,117,000 from $713,000 for the same period in 1995. Net income as a percentage
of revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 increased to 2% from 1%
for the same period in 1995. The increase in Net Income was the result of higher
revenues and the reduction in interest expense.

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources.   Working  capital  at  June  30,  1996  was
$20,138,000  compared to $17,339,000 at December 31, 1995. The current ratio was
2.1/1 at June 31, 1996 compared to 1.7/1 at December 31, 1995.  Cash provided by
operating activities was $3,747,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1996
compared to cash used in operating activities of $934,000 for the same period in
1995.  During  the first six  months of 1996,  cash of  $1,086,000  was used for
purchases of property and  equipment,  $618,000 was used for the  acquisition of
the assets of Safe Air Inc., $100,000 was used for other acquisition activities,
and  $5,850,000  was used for the repayment in full of the  Company's  long-term
debt.

Pursuant to the Olshan Business  Operating  Agreement,  dated April 20, 1995 the
Company has received to date a $4,520,000,  interest-free  working capital loan.
The loan is payable  according to the provisions  contained in the agreement and
is expected to remain outstanding for the full term of the agreement.

The Company  believes that its cash flows from  operations  and funds  available
under the existing  senior  revolving  credit  facilities,  as amended on May 1,
1996,  will be  sufficient  throughout  the next  twelve  months to finance  its
working capital needs,  planned  capital  expenditures  and to service  possible
future indebtedness.  While the Company's Board of Directors has not established
a policy concerning payment of regular dividends,  it intends to review annually
the feasibility of declaring  additional dividends depending upon the results of
operations, financial condition and cash needs of the Company.

The nature and scope of the  Company's  business  bring it into regular  contact
with the general public, a variety of businesses and government  agencies.  Such
activities  inherently  subject the Company to the hazards of litigation.  While
the  outcome of all claims is not  clearly  determinable  at the  present  time,
management  has  recorded  an  estimate  of any  losses it  expects  to incur in
connection  with the  resolution  of the claims.  Management  believes  that the
resolution  of these  claims  will not have a material  effect on the  financial
condition of the Company;  however, such resolutions could materially affect the
results of operations  or cash flows for either a quarterly or annual  reporting
period (See Item 1. Legal Proceedings).

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

The  Company  is  currently  cooperating  in a grand  jury  investigation  being
conducted by the Department of Justice,  Environmental Crimes Section,  relating
to  operational   activities   involving  a  subsidiary  of  the  Company  as  a
subcontractor  at the Weldon Springs Site Remedial Action  Project.  The Company
cannot speculate what effects,  if any, the results of such  investigation  will
have on the  Company.  The  Company  is also  subject  to  certain  other  legal
proceedings,  including those relating to regulatory compliance, in the ordinary
course of business. Management believes that the resolution of these claims will
not have a material effect on the financial  condition of the Company;  however,
such resolutions  could materially affect the result of operations or cash flows
for either a quarterly or annual reporting period.
