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, 1997, 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.

NOTE B - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On June 17, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
common stock of General Service Corporation and its affiliated
companies, Maintenance Services, Inc., Allentech, Inc., and
Environmental Protection Services (collectively "GSC") for up to
$7.8 million, subject to certain adjustments. The purchase price
consisted of $4.75 million in cash and a $250 thousand, prime
rate (currently 8.25%) promissory note payable in 12 equal
quarterly installments. In addition, the stockholders of GSC are
entitled to receive in the future up to an additional $2.75
million in cash if GSC satisfies certain earnings requirements.
The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and created
approximately $3.0 million of goodwill and non-competition
covenants.

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

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended August 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended
August 31, 1996

General Service Corporation ("GSC") was acquired by Matrix
Service Company (the "Company") on June 17, 1997. Accordingly,
the results of operations of GSC, for two and one-half months are
included for the current period, but none of GSC's operations are
included in the prior year period.

Revenues for the quarter ending August 31, 1997 were $49.5
million as compared to revenues of $39.6 million for the quarter
ended August 31, 1996, representing an increase of approximately
$9.9 million or 25%. The increase is due primarily to the
inclusion in first quarter data of revenues of $5.3 million from
the operations of GSC (referred to above) and increased revenues
from refinery capital projects as compared with the same period
in 1996.

Gross profit for the quarterly period ending August 31, 1997 was
$4.7 million, an increase of $777 thousand over the period ended
August 31, 1996. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 9.6% for the 1997 period compared to 10.0% for the
1996 period. The decrease results mainly from revenue being
generated from capital work rather than repair and maintenance
which generally produces higher profit margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $3.0
million for the quarterly period ending August 31, 1997 from
expenses of $2.5 million for the quarterly period ended August
31, 1996, an increase of $547 thousand or approximately 22% and
representing as a percentage of revenues, a decrease to 6.1% for
the 1997 period as compared to 6.2% for the 1996 period. The
principal amount of increase is due to the inclusion of expenses
of GSC.

Operating income increased to $1.4 million for the quarterly
period ending August 31, 1997 from income of $1.3 million for the
quarterly period ended August 31, 1996, an increase of $150
thousand. The increase was due to higher revenues combined with
stable cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative
expense offset by increased amortization of goodwill. The
increased goodwill is attributed to the GSC acquisition.

Interest expense increased to $258 thousand for the quarterly
period ending August 31, 1997 from $114 thousand of interest
expense for the quarterly period ended August 31, 1996. The
increase resulted primarily from increased borrowing under the
Company's revolving credit facility and term loans established on
August 24, 1994 as amended. During the period there was an
average of $6.3 million outstanding under the revolver loan. The
term loan increase was due primarily to the GSC acquisition.

Net income increased to $769 thousand for the quarterly period
ending August 31, 1997 from net income of $632 thousand for the
quarterly period ended August 31, 1996. The increase was due to
increased revenues and decreased provision for income tax for the
1997 period as compared to the 1996 period. The lower income tax
provision for the 1997 period resulted from a net operating loss
carry forward acquired with GSC.

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 $25.0 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 three quarters of one percent (3/4 of 1%), or a LIBOR
based option, and matures on October 31, 1999. At August 31,
1997, the interest rate was 7.75% and the outstanding advances
under the revolver totaled $7.75 million. The credit facility
also provides for two term loans up to $5.0 million each. On
October 5, 1994, and June 19, 1997 term loans of $4.9 million and
$5.0 million, respectively, were made to the Company. The 1994
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 or a LIBOR option. The 1997 term loan is due
January 23, 2002 and is to repaid in 54 equal payments beginning
January 7, 1998 at an interest rate based upon the prime rate or
a LIBOR option. At August 31, 1997, the interest rate on the
term loans was 8.25%, and the outstanding balance was $2.2
million and $5.0 million, respectively. The rates reflected
above are based on an agreement made after August 31, 1997.

Operations of the Company provided $288 thousand of cash for the
three months ended August 31, 1997 as compared with providing
cash from operations of $2.3 million for the three months ended
August 31, 1996, representing a decrease of approximately $2.0
million. The decrease was primarily the result of a net decrease
of $2.8 million in billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of
costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings.

Capital expenditures during the three month period ended August
31, 1997 totaled approximately $932 thousand. Of this amount
approximately $413 thousand was used to purchase welding and
construction equipment for field operations. The Company has
invested approximately $245 thousand for office expansion for
support of field operations. In addition, the Company has
currently budgeted approximately $2.6 million for additional
capital expenditures primarily to be used to purchase
construction equipment during the remainder of fiscal year 1998.
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.
