Raymond Riddle Title: President and Chief Executive Officer 3 Page 3 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Plan Administrator of the Lithonia Lighting Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the LITHONIA LIGHTING PROFIT SHARING AND RETIREMENT PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES as of December 31, 1993 and August 31, 1993 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the four-month period ended December 31, 1993 and the year ended August 31, 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan amd perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Lithonia Lighting Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees as of December 31, 1993 and August 31, 1993 and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the four- month period ended December 31, 1993 and the year ended August 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Arthur Andersen & Co.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Basis of Accounting - The accounts of the Lithonia Lighting Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees (the "Plan") of Lithonia Lighting Company (LLC), a division of National Service Industries, Inc. (NSI), are maintained by the trustee on the cash basis of accounting. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting by application of memorandum entries. Investment in NSI Fixed Income Fund - A portion of the Plan's assets were commingled in a Fixed Income Fund (FIF) together with the assets of pension and profit sharing plans of other NSI divisions. Investments of the FIF were reflected at market values determined by the custodian from publicly stated price information. These investments are subject to certain administrative guidelines and limitations as to type and amount of securities held. The net gain from investments in FIF units in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits reflects interest income on guaranteed investment contracts and master notes. The Plan's portion of FIF assets were reinvested in the Lithonia Lighting Guaranteed Income Fund on January 1, 1993. Summarized financial information of the FIF for the period September 1, 1992 to December 31, 1992 is presented as follows: 1992 Net gain from investments in FIF units during the period $ 1,774,924 ========= Allocation to NSI plans (based on number of units owned): Lithonia Lighting Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees $ 22,410 All other NSI plans 1,752,514 --------- Total $ 1,774,924 ========= 7 Page 7 -2- Investment in NSI Lithonia Lighting Guaranteed Income Fund - A portion of the Plan's assets were also invested in the NSI Lithonia Lighting Guaranteed Income Fund (LLGF), a guaranteed income fund which was established for the Plan. This fund's investments in guaranteed investment contracts were reflected at market value. These investments were subject to certain administrative guidelines and limitations as to type and amount of securities held. The net gain from investments in LLGF units in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits reflects interest income on guaranteed investment contracts and master notes. On September 1, 1993, investments of this fund were reinvested in the NSI Defined Contribution Master Trust. Investment in NSI Lithonia Lighting Equity Fund - A portion of the Plan's assets were also invested in the NSI Lithonia Lighting Equity Fund (LLEF), a fund which was established for the Plan. This fund's investments in mutual funds were reflected at market values determined by the custodian from publicly stated price information. These investments were subject to certain administrative guidelines and limitations as to type and amount of securities held. On September 1, 1993, investments of this fund were reinvested in the NSI Defined Contribution Master Trust. Summarized financial information of the LLEF for the year ended August 31, 1993 is presented as follows: 1993 Interest and dividend income $ 168,958 Net realized and unrealized appreciation in market value of investments 1,858,488 --------- Net gain from investments in LLEF units during the year $ 2,027,446 ========= Investment in NSI Defined Contribution Master Trust Fund - As of September 1, 1993, a portion of the Plan's assets were invested in a Defined Contribution Master Trust Fund (DC Master Trust), a fund which was established for the Plan. Investments of the DC Master Trust are reflected at market values determined by the custodian from publicly stated price information. These investments are subject to certain administrative guidelines and limitations as to type and amount of securities held. Certain fund assets are allocated to selected independent investment managers to invest under the general DC Master Trust guidelines. Summarized financial information of the DC Master Trust for 1993 is presented as follows: 8 Page 8 -3- September 1, 1993 December 31, 1993 Interest and dividend income $ 630,739 Net appreciation in market value 530,564 Investment management fees <25,711> ---------- Net gain from investments in the DC Master Trust Fund during the period $ 1,195,592 ========== December 31, 1993 Equity Investment Funds $ 22,955,664 Guaranteed Investment Contracts 19,980,382 Master Note 443,710 Cash 608 ---------- Total investments $ 43,380,364 ========== Investment in NSI Common Stock - As of December 31, 1993, approximately 5% of the Plan's net assets were invested in common stock of NSI, a party-in-interest. The Plan's investment in NSI common stock was reflected at market value in the accompanying financial statements. Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits - At August 31, 1993, $537,075 of net assets available for plan benefits were allocated to accounts of participants who have withdrawn from participation in the earnings and operations of the Plan. There were no such amounts allocated at December 31, 1993. Loans to Participants - The Plan permits loans to participants up to the lower of 50% of the participant's vested account balance or $50,000. Participants have up to five years to pay back the principal and interest unless the loan is for the purchase of a primary residence, in which case the repayment period will be established at the time the loan is approved. The interest rate charged on participants' loans is determined by the Plan Administrator and at December 31, 1993 was 7.7%. Tax Status - The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated September 5, 1986, and is qualified under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") as exempt from federal income taxes. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable 9 Page 9 -4- requirements of the Code. Therefore, the plan administrator believes that the Plan was qualified and that the related trust was tax-exempt as of December 31, 1993. 2. TRUST AGREEMENT: Under a trust agreement dated September 1, 1993, as amended, Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A. was appointed trustee of the NSI Defined Contribution Plans Master Trust (which includes the DC Master Trust, Loans to Participants and NSI Common Stock discussed in Note 1). Certain officers of NSI were appointed administrators of the Plan's assets together with the income derived therefrom. Prior to September 1, 1993, the assets of the Plan were included in the NSI General Retirement Trust (GRT). Under a trust agreement dated March 1, 1978, certain officers of NSI were appointed trustee of the GRT and were administrators of the Plan's assets and Wachovia Bank of Georgia was the custodian. 3. PLAN DESCRIPTION: The following brief description of the Plan is provided for informational purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information. The Plan incorporates requirements of Section 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and ERISA as amended from time to time. The Plan is a voluntary, defined contribution plan covering all full- time, non-union, salaried employees of the Company with six or more months of service. Contributions are made by the participants and the Company. Participants con-tribute between 1% and 10% of before-tax compensation but not to exceed $7,000 (or such larger amount as may be determined by the Secretary of Treasury) for any participant in any calendar year. Participants are 100% vested in their voluntary contribu- tions. The Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of each participants Elective Contribution up to 5% of compensation for each Plan year. Non-vested employer contributions are for-feited upon withdrawal or termination, as defined, from the Plan and are added to the employer contribution for allocation to remaining participants. For any Plan year in which Net Profits, as defined, equal or exceed $6,000,000 the Employer shall contribute the greater of the 50% matching contribution, as discussed above, or 2% of the Net Profit for the Plan year. Vesting of employer contributions occurs on an increasing scale ranging from 10% after one year of service, as defined, to 100% vesting after seven years of service. All expenses of the Plan were paid by the Company during 1993 and 1992. During December, 1993, the Plan was amended and restated to allow participant directed investments effective January 1, 1994. In addition, the Plan year end was changed from August 31 to December 31. Thus, the accompanying financial statements are for the year ended August 31, 1993 and the four month period in 10 Page 10 -5- the short plan year ended December 31, 1993. The Plan, as amended and restated, does not permit employer contributions in excess of 5% of participants' compensation during the short plan year. Although the Company intends for the Plan to be permanent, the Plan provides that the Company has the right to discontinue contributions or to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of termination, the participants are vested with the amounts allocated to their respective accounts; however, the accounts shall continue to be held by the trustee until such time as the participants terminate their employment or otherwise become entitled to such vested benefits under the provisions of the Plan.
