 4.   ACQUISITIONS

     On April 25, 1997, the Company purchased the drilling business of Ross
     Hill Controls and its affiliate, Hill Graham Controls Limited. This
     business involves the manufacture, sale and service of innovative
     electrical control systems used in conjunction with drilling operations.
     Borrowings available under the revolving credit facility were used to
     finance the $19 million purchase price and the transaction will be
     accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

     On April 11, 1997, the Company signed a letter of intent, subject to a
     definitive agreement, to purchase 100% of the common stock of PEP, Inc., a
     manufacturer of petroleum expendable products. Issuance of Company stock
     is anticipated to fund the transaction which is expected to be recorded in
     accordance with the pooling of interests method of accounting. The
     transaction is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
     current financial statements.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          INTRODUCTION

          The Company is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and sale
          of machinery and equipment and in the distribution of maintenance,
          repair and operating products used in oil and gas drilling and
          production. The Company's revenues are directly related to the level
          of worldwide oil and gas drilling and production activities and the
          profitability and cash flow of oil and gas companies and drilling
          contractors, which in turn are affected by current and anticipated
          prices of oil and gas.

          During 1996, the Company completed two significant capital
          transactions. First, in January 1996, the Company acquired the
          operations of National-Oilwell, resulting in the incurrence of
          significant amounts of debt and related interest expense. Second, on
          October 29, 1996, the Company sold 4.6 million shares of its common
          stock through an initial public offering (the "IPO"). Net proceeds
          from the IPO of approximately $72 million were used to repay debt
          incurred in connection with the Acquisition. At that same time, the
          Company entered into a new $120 million five-year senior secured
          revolving credit facility.

          Products and Technology

          The Products and Technology segment designs and manufactures a large
          line of proprietary products, including drawworks, mud pumps, power
          swivels and reciprocating pumps. A substantial installed base of
          these products results in a recurring replacement parts and
          maintenance business. Drilling pump expendable products are sold for
          maintenance of the Company's and other manufacturers' equipment.
          Sales of new capital equipment can result in large fluctuations in
          volume between periods depending on the size and timing of the
          shipment of orders.

          Products and Technology revenues increased $11.8 million (31%) in the
          first quarter of 1997 as compared to 1996 due primarily to an
          increase in demand for drilling capital equipment, fluid end
          expendable parts, and reciprocating pumps and associated parts.
          Operating income for the Products and Technology segment increased
          $4.5 million in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the prior
          year, representing 38% of the revenue increase.

          Distribution Services

          Distribution Services revenues result primarily from the sale of
          maintenance, repair and operating supplies ("MRO") from the Company's
          network of distribution service centers and from the sale of well
          casing and production tubing. These products are purchased from
          numerous manufacturers and vendors, including the Company's Products
          and Technology segment. While the Company has increased revenues and
          improved its operating income by entering into alliances and
          outsourcing arrangements, improvements in operating results remain
          primarily dependent on attaining increased volumes of activity
          through its distribution service centers while controlling the fixed
          costs associated with numerous points of sale.

          Revenues during the first quarter of 1997 increased $25.4 million
          (22%) over the comparable 1996 period as MRO products and tubular
          products sales reflected gains of $11 million and $7 million,
          respectively. Business with alliance customers caused a substantial
          portion of this growth during the quarter. Operating income increased
          $1.5 million during the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same
          period in 1996. A portion of the increased margin from the higher
          revenue levels was offset by higher operating costs associated with
          the addition in the second half of 1996 of operating and
          administrative personnel in order to better manage assets and in
          anticipation of future revenue growth.

          Interest Expense

          Interest expense decreased substantially during the first three
          months of 1997 due to substantially lower levels of debt.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          At March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $142 million,
          an increase of $12 million from December 31, 1996. Accounts
          receivable decreased by $4.5 million during the first three months of
          1997 as revenues declined 2.4% from the fourth quarter of 1996.
          Inventories increased $5.5 million during this period due to specific
          build programs and in response to increasing demand for oilfield
          equipment and supplies.

          The Company's business has not required large expenditures for
          capital equipment in recent years. Total capital expenditures were
          $0.5 million during the first three months of 1997 and have averaged
          $3.8 million per year over the last three years. Enhancements to
          information and inventory control systems represent a large portion
          of these capital expenditures. Total annual capital expenditures of
          as much as $6 million are anticipated over the next three years to
          meet the Company's operating needs, including further enhancements to
          the Company's information systems. The Company believes it has
          sufficient existing manufacturing capacity to meet current and
          anticipated demand over the next twelve months for its products and
          services. Any significantly greater increases in demand for oilfield
          equipment products, to the extent qualified subcontracting and
          outsourcing are not available, could result in additional increases
          in capital expenditures.

          The Company believes that cash generated from operations and amounts
          available under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to
          fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure
          requirements and financing obligations. The Company also believes any
          significant increase in capital expenditures caused by any need to
          increase manufacturing capacity can be funded from operations or
          through debt financing.

          The Company intends to pursue acquisition candidates, but the timing,
          size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential
          capital commitments cannot be predicted. The Company expects to fund
          future acquisitions primarily through cash flow from operations and
          borrowings, including the unborrowed portion of the revolving credit
          facility and/or issuances of additional equity. There can be no
          assurance that additional financing for acquisitions will be
          available at terms acceptable to the Company.
