Item 1.  Changes in Control of Registrant.

      Attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference is a press
release issued by National Service Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant") on June
12, 2003 relating to the completion of the previously announced merger between
the Registrant and NS Acquisition Corp., an affiliate of California Investment
Fund, LLC ("CIF"), and the merger of NS Acquisition Corp. with and into the
Registrant, with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation.
Pursuant to the merger, each outstanding share of the Registrant's common stock
was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment of $10.00
per share. The aggregate consideration involved in the transaction is
approximately $113,000,000.

        In connection with the merger, Congress Financial Corporation provided a
loan in the amount of approximately $70 million and Fremont Investment & Loan
provided a loan in the amount of approximately $45 million, each of which are
secured by certain assets of the Registrant. In addition, Michael R. Kelly,
Managing Member of CIF, caused the contribution of $20 million in cash, which
amount consists of the proceeds of a loan secured on a first priority basis by
the equity interests in specified entities controlled by affiliates of CIF.
