1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Core Laboratories N.V. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), and
have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1996. Balance sheet information as of December 31,
1995, has been taken from the 1995 annual audited financial statements. For
further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 1996.

     Net income per share is calculated by dividing net income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable periods presented.

     Services revenue for three months ended June 30, 1996 increased 22.0% to
$16.7 million. Services revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was
up 20.6% or $5.7 million. The increases were primarily due to (i) increased
worldwide demand for reservoir core and fluids analysis, and (ii) additional
revenue from the December 22, 1995 acquisition of four laboratories from PACE
Incorporated ("PACE Labs") and the January 5, 1996 acquisition of Gulf States
Analytical, Inc. ("GSAI"). These increases were slightly off-set by increased
price competition in certain laboratory testing markets.

     Sales revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 increased
36.0% or $1.8 million over the same period of the prior year. Sales revenue for
six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 52.6% or $4.7 million compared to a
year ago. The increases were primarily due to (i) additional revenue from the
July 19, 1995 acquisition of Pastech, Inc. ("Pastech"), and (ii) increased
demand for the Company's proprietary reservoir core and fluids analysis
equipment and systems. These increases were partially off-set by decreased sales
of integrated octane-measuring and process analyzer systems due to a weaker US
refining market.

     Costs of services and sales as a percentage of services and sales revenue
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 improved slightly compared to a
year ago, due to improved cost savings and efficiencies.

     General and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1996 increased $0.4 million and $0.6 million respectively
compared to the corresponding periods in 1995. The increases were primarily due
to costs associated with being a publicly traded company and increased personnel
costs due to growth.

     Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1996 increased $0.3 million and $0.6 million respectively
compared to a year ago primarily due to capital expenditures for new equipment
and the acquisitions of Pastech, PACE Labs, and GSAI.

     Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased
66.5% and 62.1% respectively compared to 1995. The decreases were primarily due
to a reduction in debt after the initial public offering of 2.8 million common
shares in September 1995.

     The Company's effective income tax rate was approximately 32.0% for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 30.5% for three and six
months ended June 30, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital
expenditures and acquisitions. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996 the
Company had operating cash flow of $2.9 million compared to $3.5 million for the
corresponding period in 1995. Management believes the Company's internal and
external sources of cash will provide the necessary funds with which to meet its
expected obligations.
