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.
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, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1996 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.

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.

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. Effective August 1, 1996, new employees deemed
an Eligible Employee under this plan are eligible to participate in the
plan immediately upon their hire date. Prior to August 1, 1996, employees
must have completed at least one thousand (1,000) hours of service during
the twelve (12) month period beginning with the date of commencement of
their employment to be considered 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
$9,500. 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.

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.
Custom fund fees related to the Harsco Common Stock Fund and the
Fidelity Magellan Fund are paid by the Company. Investment management
fees related to the Fidelity Magellan Fund, the S&P 500 Fund, the
International Equity Fund, the Asset Allocation Fund, the AIM
Constellation Fund, and the Templeton Foreign Fund are paid by the Plan
Participants. Participant directed investment fund change fees (not in
excess of four changes per plan year) and Plan record keeping fees
are paid by the Company.
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 7.19% to 10.0% during 1996. 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.

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 Common Trust Funds with Wells Fargo Bank, N. A. are stated at fair
value, which represents the closing price of the fund on the last trading
day of the calendar year. Shares in the Income Accumulation Fund, the
Fidelity Magellan Fund, the S&P 500 Mutual Fund, the International Equity
Fund, the Asset Allocation Fund, the AIM Constellation Fund, the
Templeton Foreign Fund, and the Bond Index Fund, are all stated at fair
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 BZW Barclays Global Investors Money Market Fund, which
are stated at fair value.
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.
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 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 variable rate for a
specified period of time in accordance with the terms of the
agreement. The 1995 and 1996 Fixed Income Fund Average Rate of

(10) Bond Index Fund - (consisting of investments purchased with
participants' contributions): a fund consisting of investments in
domestic bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government
agencies, and high-quality bonds issued by U.S. corporations. This
fund was offered as a new investment option starting April 1,
1996.
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.

4. 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.
5. Harsco Corporation Common Stock Split:
On November 19, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock
split on the Company's common stock. One additional share was issued for
each share of common stock held by shareholders of record as of the close
of business on January 15, 1997. New shares were distributed on February
14, 1997. The effect of the stock split has not been retroactively
reflected in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits with Fund
Information for the years ended 1996 and 1995, respectively.

IMPORTANT FUND INFORMATION
FOR ALL FUNDS
INVESTMENT RISK: Funds are not FDIC insured, are not obligations
or deposits of Barclays Global Investors, N.A. ("BGI"), are not guaranteed by
BGI and involve investment risk, including possible loss of principal. The
principal and yield of fund shares or participations will fluctuate with changes
in market conditions so that an Investor's shares or participations, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance
is no guarantee of future results.
RETURNS: Total return figures are provided by the fund administrator. These
numbers are believed to be reliable but are unaudited and subject to revision.
To secure revised returns or to obtain prospectuses, call 1-800-776-4015.
Returns for periods over one year are annualized.
AUTOMATED VOICE ANSWERLINE: To use the automated voice answer line, call
1-800-776-4015 and follow the instructions.
FOR COLLECTIVE TRUST FUNDS
SOURCE: Collective trust funds are unregistered
collective investment funds that are maintained and offered by Barclays Global
Investors.
RETURNS: For all funds except the Money Market Fund and the U.S. Government
Money Market Fund, all income is reinvested in the funds and is reflected in the
unit value.
RETURNS PRIOR TO INCEPTION: Daily fund inception dates vary; collective fund
returns prior to inception are principally for less-frequently-valued funds with
substantially similar investment strategies and have been adjusted for
management fees and estimated fund expenses. See individual fund fact sheets for
details. Results of a daily-valued fund may vary from those of a
less-frequently-valued fund.
FOR COMPANY CUSTOM FUNDS
SOURCE: Company custom funds are unregistered custom
separate accounts maintained by Barclays Global Investors and offered as an
investment option by the plan sponsor.
RETURNS: All income is reinvested in the funds and is reflected in the unit
value. Daily fund inception dates vary.
UNIT VALUE: The fund unit value and performance of a custom fund which is based
on an underlying mutual fund differs from the net asset value and performance of
the underlying mutual fund due to fees, expenses and crediting of income to
units rather than purchase of additional shares. The custom fund also maintains
cash holdings which may further contribute toward differences in performance
between fund units and the underlying mutual fund NAV.
HARSCO STOCK FUND: The fund maintains cash holdings which may account
for the differences in performance between fund units and common shares.
FOR REGISTERED MUTUAL FUNDS
PROSPECTUSES: You may obtain a fund prospectus by
calling 1-800-776- 4015. The prospectus contains more complete information,
including charges and expenses. Please read it carefully before investing.
NON-AFFILIATION: The company sponsoring the plan through which these funds are
made available is not affiliated with any of the sponsor/distributors discussed
below.
RETURNS: Total return figures represent the change in value of an investment
over the specified periods and assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital
gains distributions.
RETURNS SINCE INCEPTION: Returns since inception for funds in existence less
than one year are not annualized; for funds in existence one year or longer,
average annual returns are given. Returns since inception are required for
mutual funds. Since the mutual funds may have existed for differing periods of
time, their returns since inception may not be comparable. NAV INFORMATION: Fund
net asset values are reported daily in most newspapers.
FOR AIM MUTUAL FUNDS
SPONSOR/DISTRIBUTOR: The AIM Constellation Fund is a mutual
fund advised by A I M Distributors, Inc. The fund is not affiliated with
Barclays Global Investors. Information for the AIM Constellation Fund provided
by A I M Distributors, Inc.
EFFECT OF FEES ON PERFORMANCE: All total return calculations do not include the
maximum initial 5.5% sales charge. Investors in qualifying 401(k) plans purchase
shares and reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions at net asset
value, whereas investors outside the qualified plan must generally pay sales
charges as discussed in the fund's prospectus. For the period ending 12/31/96,
the annualized returns for the fund after sales charges were as follows: One
year, 9.87%; 5 years, 15.26%; and 10 years, 18.57%.
FOR TEMPLETON MUTUAL FUNDS
SPONSOR/DISTRIBUTOR: The Templeton Foreign Fund (I)
is advised by Templeton, Galbraith & Hansberger Ltd. and sponsored by
Franklin/Templeton Distributors, Inc. The fund is not affiliated with Barclays
Global Investors. Information for the Templeton Foreign Fund is provided by
Templeton Franklin Services, Inc.
INVESTMENT RISK: The Templeton Foreign Fund (I)'s share price and return will
fluctuate with market conditions, currencies, and the economic and political
climates where investments are made. These special risk considerations are
discussed in the prospectus.
EFFECT OF FEES ON PERFORMANCE: All total return calculations do not include the
maximum initial 5.75% sales charge. Investors in qualifying 401(k) plans
purchase shares and reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions at net
asset value, whereas investors outside the qualified plan must generally pay
sales charges as discussed in the fund's prospectus. Some plan-specific fees and
charges may apply. For the period ending 12/31/96, the annualized returns for
the fund after sales charges were as follows: One year, 11.21%; 5 years, 11.17%;
and 10 years, 14.49%. A 12b-1 plan was implemented May 1, 1994 which will affect
performance.
