                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                       For the Quarter Ended June 30, 1997
                                   (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,  1997 and 1996,  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, 1996. The results of
operations  for the three  and six month  periods  ended  June 30,  1997 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.

Revenue and operating results of  asbestos-abatement  activities may be affected
by the timing of some contracts. Because of this change in demand, the Company's
quarterly revenues can fluctuate, especially if all or a substantial part of the
performance of such contracts occurs within one or two quarters. The revenue 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 shares
outstanding during the respective periods.

In February  1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement
No.128,  Earnings  per Share,  which is required  to be adopted on December  31,
1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method  currently
used to compute  earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the
new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect
of  stock  options  will  be  excluded.  The  impact  of  statement  128  on the
calculation  of fully  diluted  earnings  per share for  these  quarters  is not
expected to be material.

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

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


                        Three Months Ended June 30, 1997
                                     Versus
                        Three Months Ended June 30, 1996

Revenue.  Revenue  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1997  decreased  3% to
$31,082,000  from  $32,147,000  for the same  period in 1996.  The  decrease  in
revenue  was the  combined  result of a decrease in  asbestos-abatement  related
revenue of $130,000 and a decrease in  demolition  related  revenue of $935,000.
The decrease in asbestos-abatement and demolition related revenue was the result
of the Company's  decreased success in securing new work. The demolition related
revenue was also affected by a decrease in the price of scrap metals.

Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended
June  30,  1997  decreased  to 12% from 17% for the  same  period  in 1996.  The
decrease  in the  gross  profit  margin  was the  combined  result  of losses on
recently  completed  projects and a decrease in the price of scrap metals offset
by  the  reduction  in the  Company's  insurance  claims  and  their  respective
reserves.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses  (SG&A)  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1997
decreased 8% to $3,705,000 from $4,041,000 for the same period in 1996. The SG&A
expenses,  as a percentage of revenue,  for the three months ended June 30, 1997
were 12% compared to 13% for the same period in 1996. The decrease in SG&A costs
is the result of the Company's continued cost containment efforts.

Other Operating Expenses. Olshan Demolishing Management,  Inc.(ODMI) is required
to pay Rust an annual fee, based on operating  profit, in exchange for the right
to operate Olshan  Demolishing  Company (ODC). In the event an operating loss is
recognized,  Rust is required  to share the loss with ODMI.  For the three month
period  ended June 30,  1997 the amount due to Rust was  ($96,000)  compared  to
$80,000 for the same period in 1996.  The ODMI  operating loss was primarily due
to the losses on recently  completed  projects  and the decrease in  scrap metal
prices.
 
Other  (Income) and Expenses.  Other  (income) and expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 were ($42,000)  compared to ($40,000) for the same period in
1996. 

Net Income.  Net income for the three  months  ended June 30, 1997  decreased to
$1,000 from $557,000 for the same period in 1996.  Net income as a percentage of
revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1997  decreased to 0% from 2%
for the same period in 1996  primarily due to reduced  revenue and reduced gross
profit margins resulting from losses on recently completed projects.

                         Six Months Ended June 30, 1997
                                     Versus
                         Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

Revenue.  Revenue  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997  decreased  10% to
$60,897,000  from  $67,970,000  for the same  period in 1996.  The  decrease  in
revenue is the  combined  result of a  decrease  in  asbestos-abatement  related
revenue  of  $4,847,000  and  a  decrease  in  demolition   related  revenue  of
$2,226,000.  The decrease in  asbestos-abatement  and demolition related revenue
was the result of the  Company's  success in securing new work.  The  Demolition
related revenue was also affected by the decrease in the price of scrap metals.

Gross  Profit.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended
June  30,  1997  decreased  to 15% from 17% for the  same  period  in 1996.  The
decrease  in the  gross  profit  margin  was the  combined  result  of losses on
recently  completed  projects and a decrease in the price of scrap metals offset
by  the  reduction  in the  Company's  insurance  claims  and  their  respective
settlement reserves.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses (SG&A) for the six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased
11% to $7,566,000  from $8,495,000 for the same period in 1996 The SG&A expenses
as a percentage of revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 were 12%
compared to 13% for the same period in 1996.  The decrease in SG&A costs was the
result of the Company's continued cost containment efforts.

Other Operating Expenses. Olshan Demolishing Management,  Inc.(ODMI) is required
to pay Rust an annual fee, based on operating  profit, in exchange for the right
to operate Olshan  Demolishing  Company (ODC). In the event an operating loss is
recognized,  Rust is  required  to share the loss with  ODMI.  For the six month
period  ended June 30,  1997 the amount due to Rust was  ($74,000)  compared  to
$289,000 due to Rust for the same period in 1996.  The operating  loss resulting
in the  amount due to ODMI was caused  primarily  due to the losses on  recently
completed projects and the decrease in scrap metal prices.

Other  (Income)  and  Expenses.  Other  (income) and expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 were ($129,000)  compared to $0 for the same period in 1996.
The  decrease is  primarily  attributable  to the  elimination  of the  interest
expense associated with the Company's long-term debt which was repaid in full on
March 21, 1996.

Net Income.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997  decreased 59% to
$460,000 from $1,117,000 for the same period in 1996. Net income as a percentage
of revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 1996  decreased to 1% from 2%
for the same period in 1996. The decrease in Net Income for the six month period
ended June 30,  1996 was  primarily  due to the  reduction  in revenue and gross
profit margins for both the asbestos-abatement and demolition projects.

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources.   Working  capital  at  June  30,  1997  was
$22,616,000  compared to $21,154,000 at December 31, 1996. The current ratio was
2.5/1 at June 30,  1997  compared to 2.1/1 at December  31,  1996.  Cash used in
operating activities was $1,208,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1997
compared to cash provided by operating  activities  of  $3,747,000  for the same
period in 1996.  The  decrease  in cash  provided by  operations  was due to the
combined result of a decrease in accrued liabilities,  a decrease in the reserve
for self  insurance  claims and an  increase  in billings in excess of costs and
estimated earnings on contracts in process. During the first six months of 1997,
cash of $591,000 was used for purchases of property and equipment.

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 ten year 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 and planned  capital  expenditures.  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,  which
are  defended  in the normal  course of  business.  Management  has  recorded an
estimate of any losses it expects to incur in connection  with the resolution of
the claims.  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  at June 30,  1997 of
$4,322,000 and at December 31, 1996 0f $5,410,000.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
                                                                                






The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings, including those relating to
regulatory compliance,  in the ordinary course of business.  Management believes
that  such  proceedings  are  either  adequately  covered  by  insurance  or  if
uninsured,  will not, in the aggregate,  have a material adverse effect upon the
Company.
