* Refer to item numbers in Form 5500 (Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan) for the plan year ended December 31, 1995. - 3 - 4 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Plan Administrative Committee of the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan: We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan listed in the Index on page 3 of this Form 11-K. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Administrative Committee. 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 and 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. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 1994, the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan II was merged into the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan. Also effective January 1, 1994, the Harsco BMY-Combat Systems Division participants in the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan (and their respective account balances) were transferred out of the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan to a transitional savings plan established by United Defense L.P., a limited partnership of FMC Corporation and Harsco Corporation. Effective July 1, 1994, the Sherwood Selpac Corporation Profit Sharing Thrift Plan was merged into the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets Held for Investment Purposes and Reportable Transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in the statement of net assets available for benefits with fund information and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the audit procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. - 4 - 5 As discussed in the notes to the supplemental schedules, information provided by the Trustee and presented in the schedules of investments and reportable transactions does not disclose the historical cost of certain plan assets held by the Plan trustee. Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements. - 8 - 9 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SAVINGS PLAN 1. General Description of Plan: The following description of the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan is a defined contribution plan designed to comply with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and with the requirements for qualification under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). All employees (including officers) who receive a stated weekly, hourly, monthly or annual rate of compensation and are employed by Harsco Corporation (the "Company") or any subsidiary or other related company of either the Company or a subsidiary which adopts this Plan with the approval of the Company shall be covered by, or remain covered by, this Plan, are deemed ("Eligible Employees"). Appendix B of the Plan and as amended from time to time, shall identify the collective bargaining units representing Eligible Employees under this Plan and the date as of which their coverage commenced. An employee who has completed at least one thousand (1,000) hours of service during the twelve (12) month period beginning with the date of commencement of his employment is deemed an "Eligible Employee". To participate in the Plan, an Eligible Employee must elect to contribute to the Plan through payroll deductions each pay period in whole percentages from 1% to 16% of compensation received for services as an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. The participant shall designate what percentage of such contributions will be "Pre-Tax Contributions" and what percentage will be "After-Tax Contributions." A participant who makes Matched Pre-Tax and/or Matched After-Tax Contributions in an aggregate amount of 6% of his compensation may also elect to contribute from 1% to 10% of his compensation as an Unmatched Pre-Tax and/or Unmatched After-Tax Contribution. In no event during the year may (a) Matched Pre-Tax and Matched After-Tax Contributions exceed 6% of compensation, (b) Unmatched Pre-Tax and Unmatched After-Tax Contribution exceed 10% of compensation or (c) Pre-Tax Contributions exceed the amount specified by the Internal Revenue Service code which is $9,240. Pre-Tax Contributions shall constitute a reduction in the participant's taxable income for purposes of Section 401(k) of the Code but for the purpose of the Company's tax deductions, shall be considered contributions made by the Company. After-Tax Contributions will be considered to be the participant's contributions to the Plan and shall not constitute a reduction in the participant's taxable income for the purposes of Section 401(k) of the Code. - 9 - 10 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SAVINGS PLAN, continued 1. General Description of Plan: (Continued) Pursuant to the Plan, the Company will make contributions in cash to the Trustee for the account of each participant in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of such participants' compensation designated as Matched Pre-Tax Contributions and/or Matched After-Tax Contributions. These contributions are referred to as "Company Matching Contributions". Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's Matching and Prior Match Accounts is based on years of vesting service. A Participant is 100% vested after five years of credited service. Investment management fees related to the Harsco Common Stock Fund, the Fixed Income Fund, and the Fidelity Magellan Fund are paid by the Company. Investment management fees related to the S&P 500 Fund, the International Equity Fund, and the Asset Allocation fund are paid by the Plan Participants. Plan recordkeeping fees and Participant directed investment fund change fees (not in excess of four changes per plan year) are paid by the Company. Effective April 1, 1994, Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $500 to a maximum of 50% of their vested account balance, not to exceed $50,000. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the respective investment fund(s) from (to) the Participant Loans fund. The Participant may choose the loan repayment period, not to exceed five years. However, the term may be for any period not to exceed 15 years if the purpose of the loan is to acquire the Participant's principal residence. The loans are collateralized only by the portion of the Participant's Account from which the loan is made and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined periodically by the Plan administrator. Interest rates, based on the Trustee's prime rate plus one percent, ranged from 7.25% to 10.00% during 1995. Principal and interest is paid ratable through payroll deductions. While the Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue the Plan, it reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time or discontinue contributions thereunder. In the event such discontinuance resulted in the termination of the Plan, the accounts of each affected employee who has not yet incurred a break in service shall be fully vested. Complete distributions or withdrawals would be distributed to Plan Participants and beneficiaries in proportion to their respective account balances. - 10 - 11 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SAVINGS PLAN, continued 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Accounting: The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. Investment Valuation: The Harsco Corporation Common Stock is stated at market value, which represents the closing price of the stock on the Composite Reporting Tape of the stock exchanges on the last day of trading of the calendar year. The Participant Group Annuity Contracts with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (Metropolitan), are stated at fair value which approximates cost plus accrued interest with principal and interest guaranteed by Metropolitan. The Common Trust Funds with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. are stated at market value, which represents the closing price of the fund on the last trading day of the calendar year. The Fidelity Magellan Mutual Fund shares in the Fidelity Magellan Fund, are stated at market value, which represents the closing price of the fund on the last trading day of the calendar year. S&P 500 Mutual Fund shares in the S&P 500 Fund are stated at market value, which represents the closing price on the last day of trading of the calendar year. The International Equity Fund shares in the International Equity Fund are stated at market value, which represents the closing price on the last day of trading of the calendar year. The Asset Allocation Mutual Fund shares in the Asset Allocation Fund are stated at market value, which represents the closing price on the last day of trading of the calendar year. Short-term investments, which represent the temporary investment of funds until purchases of common stock are completed, are invested in the Wells Fargo Bank Money Market Fund. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 1994 financial statement have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation. - 11 - 12 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SAVINGS PLAN, continued 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued) Other: The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits with Fund Information the net appreciation (depreciation) in the market value of its investments which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. The purchase and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income from other investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis. Both participants' and Company contributions are accrued in the period of the related payroll deductions. Forfeitures, a result of participant withdrawals prior to their full vesting in the Plan, are used to reduce the amount of future Company matching contributions. 3. Investment Programs: The Plan, comprised of participants' and Company contributions, is divided into the following funds described below. (1) Harsco Common Stock Fund - (consisting of Common Stock purchased with Company and participants' contributions): a fund consisting of Common Stock of Harsco Corporation purchased in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions to the extent permitted by rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission. (2) Fixed Income Fund - (consisting of investments purchased with participants' contributions): a fund currently maintained through an agreement with one or more insurance companies or other financial institutions, designated by the Company, under which the insurance company or financial institution shall guarantee repayment of the principal and payment of interest at a fixed annual rate for a specified period of time in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Starting on January 1, 1994, participants earned interest at a variable rate on all monies contributed to the fund. The 1995 Fixed Income Fund Average Rate of Return was 6.19%. - 12 - 13 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SAVINGS PLAN, continued 3. Investment Programs: (Continued) (3) Fidelity Magellan Fund - (consisting of investments purchased with participants' contributions): a fund consisting of shares of the Fidelity Magellan Mutual Fund which is managed by Fidelity Management and Research Company, Boston, Massachusetts. (4) S&P 500 Fund - (consisting of investments purchased with participants' contributions): a fund consisting of investments in the same stocks and in substantially the same percentages as the S&P 500 Index. These stocks represent approximately 75% of the market value of all publicly-traded common stocks in the United States. This fund was offered as a new investment option starting April 1, 1994. (5) International Equity Fund - (consisting of investments purchased with participants' contributions): a fund consisting of investments in over 1,000 foreign stocks in the equity markets of 20 predominantly Western European and Pacific Rim countries representing over 90% of the overseas equity market. This fund was offered as a new investment option starting April 1, 1994. (6) Asset Allocation Fund - (consisting of investments purchased with participants' contributions): a fund consisting of investments among three asset classes consisting of S&P 500 Index common stocks, U.S. Treasury Bonds with maturities ranging from 20 to 30 years, and Wells Fargo Bank Money Market securities. This fund was offered as a new investment option starting April 1, 1994. If at any time it is not possible for the Trustee to purchase Common Stock of the Company as required for the Harsco Common Stock Fund, the Trustee will invest such funds in short-term obligations of the United States government or agencies thereof or in other types of short-term investments, including commercial paper (other than obligations of the Company or its affiliates). The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits. - 13 - 14 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SAVINGS PLAN, continued 3. Investment Programs: (Continued) There were 4,243 participants at December 31, 1995 who participated in one or more of the six investment funds. At December 31, 1995 the number of participants selecting each of the investment funds for their contributions was as follows: Harsco Corporation Common Stock . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4,149 Fixed Income Fund . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,938 Fidelity Magellan Fund . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2,260 S & P 500 Stock Fund . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,853 International Equity Fund . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 746 Asset Allocation Fund . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,486
4. Plan Mergers: Effective January 1, 1994, Harsco Corporation Savings Plan II was merged into the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan, which amounted to $11,953,849. On January 28, 1994, FMC Corporation ("FMC") and the Company announced completion of a series of agreements, first announced in December 1992, to combine certain assets and liabilities of FMC's Defense Systems Group and the Company's BMY-Combat Systems Division. The effective date of the combination was January 1, 1994. The combined company, United Defense, L.P., operates as a limited partnership ("partnership"). FMC, as the Managing General partner, has a 60 percent equity interest, and Harsco Defense Holding, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the Limited Partner, has a 40 percent equity interest. Pursuant to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the partnership established certain transitional employee benefit plans to cover the former Harsco and FMC employees who were transferred to the Partnership. With respect to those former Harsco Employees covered by the Harsco Employees Savings Plan, the Partnership, effective January 1, 1994, established a Transition Savings Plan and, consequently, assets representing the full account balances of former Harsco employees were transferred from the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan to the Partnership's Transition Savings Plan as of the same date, which amounted to $29,521,185. Effective July 1, 1994, the Sherwood Selpac Corporation Profit Sharing Thrift Plan was merged into the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan. All qualified assets of the Sherwood Selpac Corporation Profit Sharing Thrift Plan were transferred into the Harsco Corporation Savings Plan in August 1994, which amounted to $2,012,512. - 14 - 15 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SAVINGS PLAN, continued 5. Federal Income Taxes: The Company received a determination from the Internal Revenue Service on April 15, 1995, that the Plan, as amended September 15, 1994, is a qualified plan under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and is therefore exempt from Federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(a). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. As to the Federal Income Tax status of the employees with respect to the Plan, see "Description of Federal Tax Considerations", Exhibit (4), incorporated by reference. - 15 - 16 HARSCO SAVINGS PLAN ASSETS HELD FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES - ITEM 27(a) (FORM 5500) December 31, 1995
