                               MATRIX SERVICE COMPANY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (unaudited)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the 
Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned.  All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-0l of Regulation S-X for interim 
financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and do not include all information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. 
However, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, 
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with 
the audited financial statements for the year ended May 3l, 1996, included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.  The 
Company's business is seasonal;  therefore, results for any interim period
may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results.

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

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended February 28, 1997 Compared to Three Months 
Ended February 29, 1996

Revenues for the quarter ended February 28, 1997 were $42.3 million as 
compared to revenues of $40.0 million for the quarter ended February 29, 
1996, representing an increase of approximately $2.4 million or 5.9%.  
The increase is due to increased revenues from work related to refinery 
maintenance in the Northwest region of the U.S. 

Gross profit remained level at $4.1 million for the quarterly period ended 
February 28, 1997 as compared to the quarterly period ended February 29, 
l996. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2.8 million for 
the quarterly period ended February 28, 1997 from expenses of $2.7 million 
for the quarterly period ending February 29, 1996, an increase of $50 
thousand or approximately 1.8% and representing as a percentage of revenues, 
a decrease to 6.5% for the 1997 period from 6.8% for the 1996 period.  The 
increase in expenses was due principally to annual escalation of certain 
expenses, such as salaries, offset by reduction in office expenses due to 
cost saving programs.

Operating income increased to $1.1 million for the quarterly period ended 
February 28, 1997 from $992 thousand for the quarterly period ended February 
29, 1996, or an improvement of $108 thousand.  The increase was due to an 
increase in gross profit and a reduction in amortization expense during the
1997 period as compared to the 1996 period.

Interest expense decreased to $136 thousand for the quarterly period ending
February 28, 1997 from $207 thousand for the quarterly period ended February 
29, 1996.  The decrease resulted primarily from decreased borrowing under the
Company's bank credit facility and lower amounts of acquisition debt 
outstanding.  

Net income increased to $644 thousand for the quarterly period ended February
28, 1997 from $457 thousand for the quarterly period ended February 29, 1996.
The increase was due to increased gross profit, lower amortization expense 
and lower interest expense for the 1997 period, as compared with the 1996 
period.  
         
Nine Months Ended February 28, 1997 Compared With The Nine Months 
Ended February 29, 1996

Revenues for the nine months ended February 28, 1997 were $130.1 million as 
compared to revenues of $131.4 million for the nine months ended February 29,
1996, representing a decrease of approximately $1.3 million or 1.0%.  The 
decrease was primarily due to lower revenues during the second quarter from 
the Company's tank maintenance operations as compared with the same period 
of the prior year.  This decrease resulted primarily from a shortage of work 
available on the West Coast.

Gross profit remained level at $12.7 million for the nine months ended 
February 28, 1997 as compared  with the nine months ended February 29,
1996.  Gross margins in some markets have improved; however, the Company 
continues to experience some pricing pressure from refinery maintenance.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $7.9 million 
for the nine months ended February 28, 1997 from expenses of $8.0 million 
for the nine months ended February 29, 1996, a decrease of $70 thousand or 
approximately 0.9% and remaining at 6.1% of revenues for nine months ending 
February 28, 1997 as compared to the nine months ending February 29, 1996. 
The decrease in expenses was a result of improved cost controls.

Operating income increased to $4.1 million for the nine months ended February 
28, 1997 from income of $3.8 million for the nine months ended February 29, 
1996 an increase of $310 thousand or approximately 8.2%.  The increase was 
due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses and lower 
amortization expense during the 1997 period as compared to the 1996 period.

Interest expense decreased to $365 thousand for the nine month period ending
February 28, 1997 from $651 thousand of interest expense for the nine month 
period ended February 29, 1996. The decrease resulted primarily from 
decreased borrowing and lower average outstanding balances under the 
Company's credit facility during the nine month period of 1997 as compared
with the 1996 period.  Under this facility a $4.9 million term loan was made
to the Company on October 5, 1994, and the balance outstanding at February 
28, 1997 is $2.7 million.  

Net income increased to $2.2 million for the 1997 period from net income of 
$1.7 million for the 1996 period.  The increase in net income for the current
period is due to lower interest, selling, general and administrative, and 
amortization expense as compared to the 1996 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its operations recently with cash generated by 
operations and advances under the Company's credit facility.  The Company
has a credit facility with a commercial bank under which the Company may
borrow a total of $20.0 million.  The Company may borrow up to $15.0 million
under a revolving credit agreement based on the level of the Company's 
eligible receivables.  The agreement provides for interest at the Prime 
Rate minus one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%), or a LIBOR based option, 
and matures on October 31, 1997.  At February 29, 1997, the interest rate 
was 7.75% and the outstanding advances under the revolver totaled $2.5 
million.  The credit facility also provides for a term loan up to $5.0 
million. On October 5, 1994, a term loan of $4.9 million was made to the
Company.  The term loan is due on August 31, 1999 and is to be repaid 
in 54 equal payments beginning in March 1995 at an interest rate based 
upon the Prime Rate.  At February 29, 1996, the interest rate on the term
loan was 8.25%, and the outstanding balance was $2.7 million.

Operations of the Company provided $4.0 million of cash for the nine months
ended February 28, 1997 as compared with providing cash from operations of 
$8.4 million for the nine months ended February 29, 1996, representing a 
decrease of approximately $4.4 million.  The decrease was primarily the 
result of an increase in inventory of $1.2 million, and a decrease of $5.0
million in taxes and other accruals offset by a net increase of $2.6 million 
in billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated 
earnings and an increase of $1.2 million in inventory.

Capital expenditures during the nine month period ended February 28, 1997
totaled approximately $4.3 million.  Of this amount approximately $1.4 
million was used to purchase welding and construction equipment for 
field operations.  The Company has invested approximately $950 thousand in
transportation equipment to be used to support field operations. The Company
has expended $1.4 million for a new facility in the northwest.  This facility
is expected to be completed in June of 1997.  In addition, the Company has
currently budgeted approximately $1.5 million for additional capital 
expenditures primarily to be used to purchase construction equipment during
the remainder of fiscal year 1997.    The Company expects to be able to 
finance any such expenditures with available working capital. 

The Company believes that its existing funds, amounts available for borrowing
under its credit facility, and cash generated by operations will be sufficient
to meet the Company's working capital needs at least through fiscal 1998 and
possibly thereafter unless significant expansions of operations not now
planned are undertaken, in which case the Company would arrange additional
financing as a part of any such expansion.
