                      Valley Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     Reference  is made to  the  annual  report on Form 10-K dated September 24,
     1995 for the years ended June 30, 1996.

     The financial  statements for the periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
     are  unaudited  and  include  all  adjustments  which,  in the  opinion  of
     management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations
     for the periods then ended.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
     nature. The results of the Company's  operations for any interim period are
     not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company's operations for a
     full fiscal year.

2.   CONTINGENCIES:

     The Company filed a lawsuit in September 1993 against certain of its former
     directors and officers,  as well as other  parties.  Some of the defendants
     asserted  counterclaims  against the  Company  for breach of  contract  and
     unjust  enrichment.  This  lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial in December,
     1996.

     During 1996, the Company  determined that amounts  contributed to it by two
     former officers and directors that were  previously  classified as loans to
     the  Company  were  not  loans.   Instead,  such  contributions  have  been
     determined to be repayments by the former officers and directors of amounts
     owed by  those  officers  and  directors  to the  Company  at the  time the
     contributions  were made.  Because this determination is being contested by
     the former officers and directors in the lawsuit  described above, an equal
     amount  has  been  reserved.  If  it  is  ultimately  determined  that  the
     contributions  were  properly  characterized  as loans to the Company,  the
     amounts owed by the former  officers  and  directors to the Company will be
     treated as dividends  paid to the former  officers  and  directors in 1989,
     1990, and 1991.

3.   INCOME TAXES:

     The  provisions  for income taxes for the periods  presented  vary from the
     customary  relationship  with  pre-tax  income  due to  utilization  of net
     operating loss carryforwards.

4.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

     Dividends  of $182,500  on the  Company's  Series C Preferred  Stock are in
     arrears at September 30,1996.



<PAGE>


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 as compared to the three  months ended
September 30, 1995:

The Company's sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased 6.6%
from the same period in 1995.  The  increase is  primarily  attributable  to the
Company's ultra high pressure water jet service line, which had a sales increase
of 15% over  last  year, and  accounted  for 49% of  total  sales in 1996.  This
increase,  in the Company's most profitable  service line, helped increase gross
margin  in 1996 to 37.7% of sales,  compared  to 34.8% in the same  period  last
year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10.9% in the three months
ended  September  30,  1996  compared to the same  period a year  earlier.  As a
percentage of sales,  these expenses  increased from 30.0% in 1995 to 31.2% this
year. This increase is largely due to increased marketing expenses and additions
to the sales staff.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:

The  Company's  financial  condition  at  September  30,  1996  has not  changed
significantly from that at June 30, 1996. Operations in the three months in 1996
generated cash of $326,000,  compared to $710,000 in 1995. Additions to property
and equipment were $182,000 in 1996, compared to $425,000 in 1995.


PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
      Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

In addition to ordinary  routine  litigation  incidental  to its  business,  the
Company is involved in the litigation set forth below:

In October 1992, after learning of certain alleged improprieties with respect to
the books and records of the Company,  its Audit Committee,  with the consent of
the Board of Directors, retained outside counsel to review the allegations. As a
result of the  findings of this review,  the Company  filed suit on September 2,
1993,  with an Amended  Complaint  being filed on December 6, 1993, and a Second
Amended  and  Revised  Complaint  being  filed on October  3, 1994,  and a First
Consolidated  Complaint  being  filed on April  10,  1996 in the  United  States
District  Court for the Northern  District of Ohio,  Eastern  Division,  against
certain of its former officers and directors, as well as other parties. The suit
asserts  various  claims,   including  violation  of  federal  securities  laws,
violation of Ohio  securities  laws,  common law fraud,  common law  conversion,
breach of fiduciary  duty,  breach of contract,  professional  malpractice,  and
contribution and indemnity, against various of the defendants.

On or about December 21, 1995,  defendants Eugene Valentine,  Cynthia Valentine,
Michelle  Valentine  and  General  Maintenance,  Inc.  filed,  in the  Company's
lawsuit,  and  answer  to  the  Second  Amended  and  Revised  Complaint  and  a
counterclaim against the Company as well as against Joe M. Young who is a member

<PAGE>

of the Company's Board of Directors and of the Board's Audit Committee,  but who
has not been brought in as a party to this litigation to date. The  counterclaim
asserts claims against the Company and Mr. Young based upon breach of employment
agreement,  fraudulent  misrepresentations,  common  law  conversion,  breach of
contract, unjust enrichment,  libel, abuse of process and civil conspiracy.  The
counterclaim seeks compensatory and punitive damages,  and an award of interest,
attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements.  The Company filed a motion to dismiss
all counts  alleged  against the Company  and Mr.  Young.  On March 19, 1996 the
Federal District Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss and dismissed all
claims  asserted by the  defendants  except for the claims of breach of contract
and unjust enrichment.

On  September  21,  1993,   Rollins  Investment  Fund,  the  Company's  majority
stockholder,  filed a lawsuit  in the United  States  District  Court,  Northern
District of Ohio, Eastern Division,  against Eugene R. Valentine and Nicholas J.
Pace.  This suit asserts claims  against the  defendants  based upon the federal
securities laws, common law fraud and breach of contract.

Formal  discovery  in both cases is now in process  and is  expected to conclude
shortly. A trial date of December 4, 1996 has been scheduled for these cases.


         Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

a)   Exhibits:   None

b)   Reports on Form 8-K:  The Company filed a Current  Report on Form 8-K dated
     August 8, 1996, including Items 5 and 7, in connection with a press release
     issued on that day regarding a share purchase program.
