PART 1, ITEM 2      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's ability to generate cash adequate to meet its needs
depends primarily upon payments for its services and periodic
bank borrowings.  These sources of liquidity are reduced by the
payment of direct costs, taxes, purchase of property and
equipment and periodic repayment of the Company's revolving lines
of credit and term debt.

As a result of losses recognized during fiscal year 1995, the
Company, as reported, was not in compliance with certain debt
covenants under its lending arrangement.  At the end of August
1995, the participating lender and, in turn, the agent lender,
under the Company's financing agreement refused to continue
funding the Company's working capital line of credit.  This
resulted in a cessation of cash flow necessary to fund
operations.  In the first week of September 1995, the Company and
its subsidiaries filed voluntary bankruptcy petitions under
Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Middle District of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg which are jointly
administered at Case Number 1-95-1767.  This action became
necessary for the Company to gain access to its own cash for
continued operations.  Subsequently, the Company was able to
obtain a $3,500,000 debtor-in-possession revolving line of credit
and to continue operations.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed approximately
$8,477,000 on its revolving credit line of $18,000,000; had an
outstanding principal balance of $5,586,524 on its long term
secured term loan obligation; had a zero balance outstanding on
its debtor-in-possession revolving credit agreement and had
approximately $1,495,000 of cash collateral on hand.  The Notes
Payable to Bank of $6,982,000 on the consolidated balance sheet
is the revolving credit loan net of cash collateral.  The Company
is in compliance with the covenants under its debtor-in-
possession financing arrangement.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had working capital of
approximately $7,325,000 compared to working capital of
$7,435,000 as of September 30, 1995.  The minimal decrease in
working capital was due primarily to the collection of accounts
receivable offset by the paydown of the debtor-in-possession
revolving credit balance and current liabilities.

The  Company  anticipates  that current  working  capital  as  of
December 31, 1995, cash provided by operations and available bank
credit will be sufficient to meet cash needs through April, 1996.
It  also anticipates that improved operating results in 1996  and
completion  of current negotiations with lenders will  result  in
obtaining a multi-year financing arrangement sufficient to  allow
the  Company to emerge from bankruptcy and to meet the  Company's
cash needs in both the near and long term.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

During  1995,  the  Company  determined  that  the  valve  repair
business as then currently conducted by its Henze subsidiary, did
not fit the Company's future strategy.  Steps have been taken  to
divest  of  this activity and it is identified in  the  financial
statements  as a discontinued operation.  As a result,  the  line
items  on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations  for
the three months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, from "Revenues
from services" through "Income (loss) from continuing operations"
(inclusive)   are  presented  absent  the  effects   of   Henze's
operations  (which are identified as discontinued operations  and
presented as a separate line item on a net basis).  Results  from
continuing  and  discontinued operations  are  then  combined  to
produce net earnings.  Results of operations for the three months
ended  December 31, 1994 are restated accordingly.   Management's
discussion and analysis focuses on the results and comparison  of
continuing operations.

Revenues  for  this  first  quarter increased  Two  Million  Four
Hundred  Seventy-Nine Thousand ($2,479,000) or  thirteen  percent
(13%)  to  Twenty-One  Million Fifty-Six  Thousand  ($21,056,000)
compared  to  the  same period last year.  The  power  generation
market  produced revenues of Ten Million Nine Hundred  Twenty-Two
Thousand  ($10,922,000)  or  fifty-two  percent  (52%)  of  total
revenues  compared  to Ten Million Seven Hundred  Eight  Thousand
($10,708,000) or fifty-eight percent (58%) of total  revenues  in
the first quarter of 1995.  The petro-chemical business accounted
for  seventeen percent (17%) of 1996 first quarter revenues,  the
same  percentage  share as in the first quarter  of  fiscal  year
1995.   The pulp and paper market accounted for seventeen percent
(17%)  of first quarter 1996 revenues compared to twelve  percent
(12%)  for  1995  on  the  strength  of  several  large  turn-key
projects.   The  revenue  contribution of  all  other  businesses
collectively  was  fourteen percent (14%)  compared  to  thirteen
percent  (13%) for the same period last year.  The  first  fiscal
quarter  has historically been dominated by the power  generation
market  and  the  increase  in the contribution  rates  of  other
markets  reflect  the  impact  of the  Company's  diversification
strategy.

The   consolidated   gross  margin  for  the   period   increased
approximately $400,000 or fourteen percent (14%) to Three Million
One Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand ($3,165,000) compared to the same
period  last year.  Margin contribution from the power generation
market increased to One Million Seven Hundred Forty-Five Thousand
($1,745,000)  compared  to One Million Three  Hundred  Thirty-Two
Thousand  ($1,332,000)  for  the same  period  last  year.   This
performance is attributable to several contract services projects
with  improved  margins  completed in the  quarter.   The  margin
contribution  from  all other businesses  combined  was  flat  at
approximately  One  Million  Four Hundred  Thousand  ($1,400,000)
compared to the same period last year.
General  and  administrative expenses for the  quarter  decreased
Four  Hundred Sixty-Eight Thousand ($468,000) to Two Million  Two
Hundred  Two  Thousand ($2,202,000) compared to the  same  period
last year.  This decrease is mainly attributable to the Company's
restructuring efforts which began in the second quarter of fiscal
year 1995.

Income  from  operations  was Nine Hundred  Sixty-Three  Thousand
($963,000)  compared  to One Hundred Fifteen Thousand  ($115,000)
for  the same period last year.  The increase is attributable  in
approximately equal measure to the Company's increase in revenues
and  gross  margin,  and  the reduction in  overall  general  and
administrative expenses.

Restructuring  expenses  of Sixty-Seven Thousand  ($67,000)  were
incurred  in  the period.  Interest expense was Four Hundred  Ten
Thousand  ($410,000)  compared  to  Three  Hundred  Seventy-Three
Thousand  ($373,000) for the same period in fiscal year 1995  due
to an interest rate increases on funds loaned to the Company.

Income  taxes of Two Hundred Ten Thousand ($210,000) were accrued
for the period compared to a tax benefit of Ninety-Three Thousand
($93,000) for the same period in fiscal year 1995 as a result  of
improvement in income from operations.

The  net  income from continuing operations for the first quarter
of   fiscal  year  1996  was  Three  Hundred  Fourteen   Thousand
($314,000) or $.14/share compared to a loss of One Hundred  Forty
Thousand  ($140,000)  or ($.06)/share for the  same  period  last
year.   Losses attributable to discontinued operations  were  One
Hundred  Forty-Three  Thousand ($143,000) for  the  first  fiscal
quarter  of  the  current year compared to Two  Hundred  Thousand
($200,000)  for  the same period in fiscal year 1995.   Combining
continuing  and  discontinued operations, the Company  posted  an
aggregate net income of One Hundred Seventy-One Thousand $171,000
or  $.08/share compared to a loss of Three Hundred Forty Thousand
($340,000) or ($.16)/share for the comparable period last year.

This  increase corresponds to the increases in revenue and  gross
margin, the reduction of general and administrative expenses  and
accrual  of income taxes as opposed to a tax benefit in the  same
period last year.


CURRENT TRENDS

On  January  31, 1996, the Company filed its Reorganization  Plan
and   accompanying   Joint  Disclosure   Statement.    The   Plan
anticipates full payment to the Companies creditors and  includes
changes  which simplify the corporate structure, making  it  more
cost  effective.   It  also  includes  the  divestiture  of   the
commercial  nuclear  power  staff augmentation  business  of  NSS
Numanco,  Inc.  and the asset sale of Henze Services,  Inc.   The
resulting  organization  will include Cannon  Sline  and  IceSolv
reporting  to  a  newly formed parent yet to be named.   Our  new
company  will bear all the strengths of Nuclear Support Services,
Inc.  but  will shed the weaknesses brought about by the changing
nuclear power industry, the stigma of a name associated with  the
nuclear market and the lower margins.  A Letter of Intent to sell
the  commercial nuclear power staff augmentation business of  NSS
Numanco has been executed and petitions to approve the sale  have
been   filed  with  the  Bankruptcy  Court.   Negotiations   with
prospective  buyers  of the assets of Henze are  ongoing,  but  a
definitive agreement has not yet been reached.

The  remaining  operating companies will  be  stronger  and  more
efficient.   Cannon and Sline will be legally merged.   IceSolv's
expanded role will result in an economy of scale needed to  allow
the  business  to  grow.  While each of the operating   companies
retain their core competency, each have the capability to provide
the total range of services provided by the other.
Administratively, all subsidiaries will be operating on the  same
data  processing system and internal controls.  This will provide
real time reporting, affording operations management the tools to
react quickly to changing conditions.

The  seasonality of our new company should shift from a bar  bell
to  a traditional bell curve with the slowest period expected  to
be  in  the  first calendar quarter and the peak  of  our  season
expected  to  be late summer.  This shift in business seasonality
warrants  the  change of our fiscal year to a  March  31  ending.
Management  is taking the necessary steps to affect  this  change
under the Plan of Reorganization.

An  implementation date of the Plan of Reorganization of April 1,
1996  is  anticipated subject to certain contingencies  including
the  successful  sale  of assets, negotiation  of  a  replacement
credit facility and ultimate approval of the Plan by the court.

The Company expects substantial costs associated with the outside
professional support required by the bankruptcy proceeding in the
second quarter of 1996.  It is anticipated that these costs  will
further  depress net earning in the period which is normally  the
lowest of the Company's business cycle.
