<PAGE>


                              VSI LIQUIDATION CORP.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     Reference  is made to the annual  report on Form 10-K filed  September  28,
     1999 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.

     The financial  statements for the periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 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 discontinued operations for any interim period
     are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company's discontinued
     operations for a full fiscal year.

2.   INCOME TAXES:

     The  provision  for income  taxes for the nine months  ended March 31, 1999
     varies  from the  customary  relationship  with  pre-tax  income due to the
     reversal of a  valuation  allowance  for  deferred  tax  assets,  resulting
     primarily  from net  operating  loss  carryforwards,  which were able to be
     utilized due to the sale of assets to HydroChem Industrial  Services,  Inc.
     as discussed in Note 5.

3.   CONTINGENCIES:

     The  Company is  involved  in various  litigation  arising in the  ordinary
     course of business.  Management  believes  that the ultimate  resolution of
     such   litigation  will  not  have  a  material  effect  on  the  Company's
     operations, cash flows or financial position.

4.   INCOME PER COMMON SHARE:

     Basic  earnings  per common  share are computed by dividing net income less
     preferred stock dividend  requirements  (none for the three months and nine
     months  ended March 31, 2000 and $96,250 for the three  months and $192,500
     for the nine months  ended March 31,  1999) for the period by the  weighted
     average  number  of  shares of common  stock  outstanding  for the  period.
     Diluted earnings per common share do not vary from basic earnings per share
     for any of the periods presented  because there were no dilutive  potential
     shares of common  stock  outstanding.  The dilutive  effect of  outstanding
     potential  shares of common  stock is  computed  using the  treasury  stock
     method.

5.   SALE OF  SUBSTANTIALLY  ALL  ASSETS AND  ASSUMPTION  OF  SUBSTANTIALLY  ALL
     LIABILITIES OF THE COMPANY:

     On  September  8, 1998,  the  Company  entered  into a Second  Amended  and
     Restated  Asset  Purchase  Agreement  (the  "Purchase  Agreement")  whereby
     essentially  all assets of the




                                       5
<PAGE>

     Company would be sold to, and  substantially all liabilities of the Company
     would be assumed by, HydroChem Industrial Services, Inc. ("HydroChem"). The
     purchase price for these assets and  liabilities  was  approximately  $29.8
     million,  adjusted for  increases or decreases in net assets after June 30,
     1998.  $4.0  million of the  proceeds  were  placed in escrow to secure and
     indemnify  HydroChem for any breach of the Company's  covenants and for any
     environmental liabilities. Escrow funds of approximately $1 million, to the
     extent not needed to indemnify HydroChem, will be released on or about each
     of the second and third  anniversaries  following the closing. In addition,
     $1.0  million of the escrow  funds will be released if and when the Company
     provides certain environmental assurances to HydroChem,  currently expected
     to be during 2001. Approximately $18 million of the purchase price has been
     distributed to  stockholders  to date. The Company has reserved  $91,000 in
     the financial  statements for potential future  liabilities to or on behalf
     of HydroChem to be paid from the escrow account. This transaction closed on
     January 5, 1999, and was effective as of January 1, 1999.

     The Company changed its name from Valley  Systems,  Inc. to VSI Liquidation
     Corp. after the closing of this transaction, and will not have any business
     operations  other than those associated with the winding up and dissolution
     of the Company,  including distribution of any escrow funds released to the
     Company.

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

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
Forward-looking  statements  in this  Form  10-Q are made  pursuant  to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
forward-looking  statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties  that
could cause actual results to differ  materially from those  projected.  Readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these  forward-looking  statements,
which  speak  only as of the date  hereof.  Potential  risks  and  uncertainties
include,   but  are  not  limited  to,  the  possibility   that  HydroChem  will
successfully  assert  claims  against  funds  held in the  escrow  account,  the
possibility that the costs of winding up the Company's  affairs could exceed the
Company's  projections,  the Company's  potential  liability pursuant to ongoing
litigation, and general business and economic conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Three  months and nine  months  ended  March 31,  2000 as  compared to the three
months and nine months ended March 31, 1999:

The results of  operations  for the three months and nine months ended March 31,
2000 are not  comparable  to those for the three  months and nine  months  ended
March 31, 1999. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, effective
January  1, 1999  substantially  all  assets of the  Company  were sold to,  and
substantially  all liabilities  were assumed by,  HydroChem.  Operations for the
three months and nine months ended March 31, 2000 consisted only of transactions
winding  down the  operations  of the  Company.  The  Company  will not have any
business  operations in the future other than those  associated with the winding
up and  dissolution of the Company,  including  distribution of any escrow funds
released to the Company.



                                       6

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

On January 5, 1999, the Company  completed the sale of substantially  all of its
operating assets and the operating assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley
Systems of Ohio, Inc. ("VSO"), to HydroChem, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
for  approximately  $29.8  million in cash,  of which $25.8  million was payable
immediately  and $4  million  was  deposited  into an escrow  account  to secure
certain  indemnification and other rights under the Purchase Agreement,  and the
assumption of the Company's and VSO's bank debt and certain other liabilities.

Of the $25.8 million  received at closing,  after  payment or making  reasonable
provision  for  the  payment  of  all  known  and  anticipated  liabilities  and
obligations of the Company,  payment of approximately $5.5 million to repurchase
all of the 55,000 shares of the Company's  outstanding  Series C Preferred Stock
held by Rollins Holding  Company,  Inc.,  payment of  approximately  $380,000 to
redeem outstanding employee stock options and payment of approximately  $165,000
as a retention  bonus to certain  officers and  employees,  approximately  $16.8
million of the sale proceeds  remained and were  available for  distribution  to
stockholders  pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution adopted by the
Company.

On January 29, 1999, an initial liquidating cash dividend of approximately $16.8
million ($2.13 per share) was mailed to  stockholders  of record at the close of
business on January 22, 1999.  The Company paid an additional  liquidating  cash
dividend  of $1.2  million  ($.15 per share) on or about  February  11,  2000 to
shareholders of record at the close of business on January 31, 2000. The Company
now has no further assets to distribute and expects to have no additional assets
in the future other than cash received from the escrow account  referenced above
and cash  remaining  after  payment  of all  remaining  expenses  to wind up and
dissolve the Company, if any.

In May, 1999 certain accounts  receivable totaling  approximately  $600,000 that
were sold to  HydroChem  under the  Purchase  Agreement  and  guaranteed  by the
Company were returned by HydroChem to the Company and were paid for out of funds
in escrow.

The Company expects that,  subject to any claims which may be made by HydroChem,
the remaining escrowed funds of approximately  $3.2 million (including  earnings
on  escrowed   funds  to  date)  will  be  released  on  the  second  and  third
anniversaries of the closing date in amounts of approximately $1 million on each
such anniversary. Up to an additional $1 million may be released at such time as
the Company delivers to HydroChem a certificate  regarding certain environmental
remediation  matters,  which is  currently  expected  to be possible in the year
2001. The balance of the escrow fund,  including earnings on the escrow account,
will also be released on the third anniversary of the closing date. There can be
no  guarantee,  however,  that these  funds,  or any  portion  thereof,  will be
released to the Company. As escrowed funds, if any, are released to the Company,
they  will be  utilized  to pay any  unanticipated  unpaid  expenses,  with  the
remainder to be  distributed as liquidating  cash dividends to  stockholders  as
soon as is practicable.

As of March 31, 2000 the Company had approximately  $600,000 in cash in addition
to approximately $3.2 million held in the escrow account.

The Company  will not engage in any  further  business  activities  and the only
remaining   activities  will  be  those  associated  with  the  winding  up  and
dissolution of the Company. The Company believes that the remaining cash on hand
and in escrow will be sufficient to meet its liabilities  and obligations  until
the Company is dissolved in accordance with Delaware law.
