                      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 25, 1995
  for the years ended June 30, 1995.  The financial  statements  for the periods
  ended March 31, 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 and one of its directors for breach
  of employment agreement, fraudulent misrepresentations, common law conversion,
  defamation, civil conspiracy, abuse of process, breach of contract, and unjust
  enrichment.  All of these  counterclaims  were dismissed in March 1996, except
  for the  claims  of breach of  contract  and  unjust  enrichment  against  the
  Company.  During the quarter  ended  December 31, 1995 the Company  determined
  that  amounts  contributed  to it by two former  officers and  directors  that
  previously  were  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 former  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,  an
  equal  amount has been  reserved.  If it  ultimately  is  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.

                                                                          Page 5
<PAGE>

4.PREFERRED STOCK:

  In July 1995 the Company accepted 20,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock as
  part of a settlement of litigation.  These shares were convertible into Common
  Stock  on a one  to one  basis,  and  have  been  considered  a  common  stock
  equivalent in the past for computing  earnings per share. The shares were then
  retired, and are not considered in the 1996 calculation.

5.SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

  In April 1996,  the Company  purchased  105,456 shares of its Common Stock for
  $527,280.  This purchase was part of a settlement of litigation  negotiated in
  1993.



            Item 2. Management's discussion and analysis of financial
                       condition and results of operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1995

Sales  decreased 22% in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third
quarter  of 1995.  This drop is largely  due to major  plant  maintenance  being
postponed  or  canceled  by the  Company's  customers,  which are largely in the
petroleum refining,  chemical, steel and power generation industries.  There was
no significant change in the product mix between the two periods.  Cost of sales
increased  from 66% of sales in 1995 to 79% in 1996.  The  increase is primarily
caused by equipment and other fixed expenses being spread over less revenue. The
Company has significantly increased its branch management and marketing staff in
1996.  This  caused the 12%  increase in  selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses from the prior year.

Nine months  ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended
March 31, 1995

Sales for the first nine  months of the  Company's  fiscal year ending June
30, 1996 decreased 12.0% from the prior year.  This drop is partially  caused by
closure of unprofitable  locations,  as well as a general trend by the Company's
customers to operate their plants for longer periods  between major  maintenance
outages.  UHP  sales  were 43% of the  total in 1996,  compared  to 38% in 1995.
Despite this  improvement,  cost of sales increased from 65% of sales in 1995 to
69% in the current  year.  This  increase is primarily  due to fixed costs being
spread over lower revenues. Administrative and interest expenses decreased by 5%
in 1996 from the prior year, and represent 34% of sales.  These expenses totaled
30% of sales in 1995.

                                                                          Page 6
<PAGE>

FINANCIAL CONDITION:

Working capital decreased by $360,000 from June 30, 1995 to March 31, 1996. This
drop is entirely  due to a reserve of $1.0 million  established  for amounts due
from former officers and directors, which they are contesting, that were paid by
cancellation  of  amounts  previously  shown  as  long-term  debt to the  former
officers and directors.  See Note 2 to Consolidated  Financial  Statements.  The
reserve is included in current liabilities at March 31, 1996. Cash provided from
operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 1996 totaled $900,000, a
decrease of $1 million from the comparable  period in the prior year.  This drop
is caused by the change in net income between the periods.  At March 31,1996 the
Company had $2.2 million available on its bank line of credit,  which expires in
June 1998. The Company does not expect to require any  additional  financing for
operations or capital expenditures in 1996.

                                                                          Page 7

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
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 in
the next several months.  A trial date of August 26, 1996 has been scheduled for
this case.

                                                                          Page 8
