                           PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

On March 24, 1995, the Company commenced a "Dutch Auction" type tender offer
(the "Tender Offer") to purchase up to 5,300,000 shares of its Common Stock at a
purchase price not greater than $8.00 per share nor less than $6.75 per share.
Pursuant to the Tender Offer, which terminated on April 21, 1995, the Company
purchased 3,150,560 shares of its Common Stock at a purchase price of $8.00 per
share.

      In July 1992 the Company sold $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 
its 8.95% Senior Notes Due June 30, 1999 (the "Senior Notes") to a group of ten
institutional investors pursuant to a Note Agreement dated as of July 1, 1992 
(as amended, the "Note Agreement"). The principal of the Senior Notes is payable
in five equal annual installments of $10.0 million, the first of which was made 
on June 30, 1995.

     The Note Agreement prohibits any "Restricted Payment" subsequent to July 
17, 1992 unless after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate amount of all 
Restricted Payments subsequent to such date would not exceed $5,000,000 plus the
cumulative sum of 50% of the Company's consolidated net income (or minus 100% 
in the case of a deficit) subsequent to March 31, 1992 and (ii) the Company 
could incur at least $1.00 of additional indebtedness under the Note Agreement 
covenant limiting indebtedness. The term "Restricted Payment" includes (a) any 
dividend (other than dividends payable in shares of capital stock) or other 
distributions on any shares of capital stock of the Company; (b) any purchase, 
redemption or other acquisition of any shares of the capital stock of the
Company or any rights or options to purchase or acquire such shares; and (c) any
"Restricted Investment", which is generally defined as any investment other than
an investment in a subsidiary of the Company or an investment in certain
designated government or rated securities. In addition, the Company may
purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire shares of its capital stock or make
Restricted Investments from the net cash proceeds of the substantially
concurrent sales of shares of capital stock or from the sale of securities
convertible into such shares upon conversion.

      Pursuant to a waiver and amendment dated as of March 8, 1995, the holders 
of the Senior Notes (1) waived compliance with the limitations on Restricted 
Payments discussed above, (2) agreed that the amount expended in the Tender 
Offer would not constitute a Restricted Payment, and (3) amended certain 
covenants to take into account the effect of the consummation of the Tender
Offer on certain financial ratios.

      On February 25, 1993 the Company entered into an unsecured revolving 
credit agreement with Citicorp USA, Inc. and Citibank, N.A. (as amended, the 
"Credit Agreement"). Effective as of March 17, 1995 the Credit Agreement was 
amended to (1) extend the maturity date from March 31, 1996 to October 31, 1998;
(2) increase the total maximum facility from $20.0 to $35.0 million, consisting 
of a loan facility of $25.0 million in and a letter of credit facility of $10.0
million; and (3) to amend certain covenants to permit the Tender Offer and to
take into account the effect of the consummation of the Tender Offer on certain
financial ratios.

      Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the amount available for the 
payment of dividends on, and repurchases of, Common Stock is limited to 25% of 
the Company's consolidated net income arising after January 1, 1992, computed on
a cumulative basis. In addition, pursuant to the March 17, 1995 amendment to the
Credit Agreement discussed above, the Company may repurchase at any time prior 
to December 31, 1995 shares of its Common Stock for an aggregate cost not 
exceeding $50.0 million, including shares purchased pursuant to the Tender 
Offer. The Company may also purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock
from the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of shares of Common
Stock.

T O  O U R  S H A R E H O L D E R S

Third quarter financial results continued to reflect improvement over the 
comparable period of last year as Net Income was $3.7 million, $.12 per share, 
versus $3.0 million, $.09 per share, for the same quarter of 1994. Revenues 
increased to $68.1 million, from $54.2 million in the third quarter a year ago.

   For the first nine months of this year, Revenues reached $202.5 million, 24 
per cent above the $163.1 million total for the similar period of 1994.
Correspondingly, Net Income has increased by 45 per cent, to $12.0 million, $.38
per share, as compared to $8.3 million, $.25 per share, for the first three
quarters of 1994.

   The year-over-year Revenue growth for the nine-month period is primarily the 
result of increases at the Drilling Systems and Shaffer Divisions, together with
the impact of the Thule Rigtech operation, which was acquired in November of
last year. Drilling Systems' Revenues were $74.1 million for the first nine
months of this year, as compared to $54.5 million a year ago; and Shaffer's
increased to $45.1 million, from $36.8 million last year. Thule Rigtech has
contributed Revenues of $8.3 million during the first three quarters of this
year.

   The two principal factors which have influenced Revenue growth are an
increased market acceptance of mechanized and automated pipe racking systems,
and the upgrading of many semi-submersible rigs, particularly to accommodate
drilling in greater water depths. Sales of pipe racking systems accounted for 
roughly half of the Drilling Systems' Revenue growth; and the increase at 
Shaffer is tied primarily to the upgrading and refurbishment of pressure control
equipment, motion compensation devices and related equipment for 
semi-submersibles.

   Our outlook remains positive, as reflected in the continued strength of 
incoming orders. For the third quarter, orders totaled $67.8 million, as 
compared to $58.6 million in the third quarter of 1994 and $64.6 million in the 
second quarter of this year. Backlog increased to $60.8 million at September 30,
1995, from $39.2 million as of the same date one year ago.

    Industry conditions are little changed since our report to you at the end of
the second quarter. Oil prices were generally in the $17-$18 per barrel range
during the past three months; and natural gas prices continued to hover around
$1.50 per million BTU, before temporarily spiking up during late September in
response to concerns about weather-related supply disruptions in the Gulf of
Mexico.

    Likewise, recent trends in drilling activity are largely unchanged. The 
U.S. rig count increased seasonally during the third quarter but remains below
the comparable period of last year. Conversely, the international rig count
continues to be somewhat above the year-ago level. A particular bright spot for
Varco is the offshore drilling market, as the utilization of mobile offshore
rigs reached its highest level in more than ten years during the third quarter.
The result is improved cash flow for our most important customers, the offshore
drilling contractors, and a greater incentive and ability on their part to
upgrade their rigs with the kinds of equipment Varco supplies.

    With the final months of 1995 upon us, we are pleased with the continued 
growth in revenue and profits that we have achieved. As we begin to look ahead 
to 1996 it appears that the potential exists to demonstrate further improvement.
To capitalize on that opportunity we must continue to effectively execute those 
strategies that have served us well in recent years.

    We appreciate your continued support.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL INDUSTRY CONDITIONS
Worldwide drilling activity, as measured by the average number of active 
drilling rigs, decreased in the first nine months of 1995 to an average of 
approximately 1,697 from an average of approximately 1,740 during the same
period in 1994. North American drilling activity declined approximately 7% to an
average of approximately 941 rigs. International drilling activity increased by
3% to an average of approximately 756 as compared to 733 in the first nine
months of 1994. The average number of offshore rigs under contract increased
slightly year-over-year and offshore rigs under contract during the month of
September was at its highest level since December 1993.

  Both increased international drilling and the recent increase in offshore 
drilling activity are positive to the Company. Generally, international rigs 
offer a higher revenue potential to the Company than those operating in North 
America and offshore rigs, which are generally more costly to operate, are more 
likely to spur investment in the Company's newer technology products.

ACQUISITION

On November 30, 1994 the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Rig 
Technology Limited ("Thule Rigtech"), a company incorporated in Scotland, for a 
cost of approximately $9.0 million. Thule Rigtech provides equipment and systems
used in the handling, mixing, transport and conditioning of drilling fluids and 
operates as the Company's Thule Rigtech Division.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below are the net orders and revenues for the Company's five operating
divisions:

================================================================================
</TABLE> 

Incoming orders and revenues for the first nine months of 1995 increased by 
24.3% and 24.7%, respectively, as compared to the same period of 1994. These 
increases are primarily due to increases in products used on offshore drilling 
rigs, particularly those of the Shaffer

<PAGE>
 
and Drilling Systems Divisions, and to the inclusion of Thule Rigtech, which was
acquired in November of 1994.

    The Shaffer Division totals include increases in orders to upgrade several 
offshore rigs with pressure control and motion compensation equipment. The 
Drilling Systems totals include orders to equip five new offshore platform rigs 
with our newer technology pipe handling equipment. These orders totaled 
approximately $14.6 million and include both horizontal and vertical racking 
systems. Similar orders for the first nine months of 1994 totaled approximately 
$5.4 million.

    The decline in 1995 third quarter Drilling Systems orders as compared to the
third quarter of 1994 is due to a decline in Top Drive unit orders from 12 to
7. For the first nine months of 1995 Top Drive unit orders totaled 26 as
compared to 32 in the same period of 1994.

    The Company has also experienced increases in orders and revenue from the 
sales and rental of its TOTAL product line. All of the revenue increases at 
Martin-Decker/TOTCO is from increased TOTAL sales and rentals.

    At September 30, 1995 the Company's backlog of unshipped orders was 
approximately $60.8 million as compared to $52.8 million at December 31, 1994.
In accordance with industry practice, orders and commitments generally are
cancelable by customers at any time. The Company believes that most of the
backlog will be shipped by December 31, 1995.

    Gross margin (net sales and rental income less costs of sales and rental 
income) as a percentage of net sales and rental income for the first nine months
of 1995 was 38.0%, compared to a gross margin of 39.3% for the same period in 
1994. Gross margin for the third quarter 1995 decreased to 36.5% from 40.6% in
the third quarter 1994. The decline in margin in the third quarter of 1995 as
compared to third quarter 1994 is due to the increase in Shaffer's revenues,
which generate lower margins than the combined gross margin of the other
divisions and due to lower than average margins on new products of Drilling
Systems. These factors each accounted for approximately half of the decline in
gross margin for the third quarter 1995 as compared to the third quarter 1994.
The above factors also impacted the nine month gross margin but were partially
offset by a favorable impact of 1.5% resulting from the increased utilization of
the Company's manufacturing facilities. The Company estimates that based upon
direct labor hours (based upon a two shift operation) its manufacturing
facilities were approximately 90% utilized during the first nine months of 1995
as compared to only 75% utilization during the same period of 1994. The effect
of this higher utilization has been to increase the percentage of manufacturing
expenses allocated to inventory and decrease expenses charged directly to cost
of sales.

    The Company believes that new product development is a significant factor
for the future of the Company. During the first nine months of 1995 the Company
spent $9.8 million or 4.9% of revenues on new product development. This compares
to $8.8 million or 5.4% of revenues during the same period in 1994.

    Primarily as a result of activities related to the increased revenues 
selling, general and administrative expenses have increased in 1995 when 
compared to similar periods in 1994. However, as a percent of revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses are down year-to-year. For the first nine 
months of 1995 this percent was 22.7% and it compares to 24.3% for the same 
period of 1994.

    Overall Company employment at September 30, 1995 was 1,572

<PAGE>
 
(including 219 temporary employees) which compares to 1,390 (including 203 
temporary employees) a year ago. This increase is primarily due to an increase
in manufacturing employees and the addition of 37 Thule Rigtech employees.

    The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1995 was 35% as compared
to 37% for 1994. The decreased tax rate is primarily due to recording a credit
for a foreign tax loss carryforward.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES
At September 30, 1995 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7.7 million 
as compared to $38.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and short term 
investments at December 31, 1994. This decline is due to the Tender Offer and 
the Senior Note payment, discussed below.

    On March 24, 1995, the Company commenced a "Dutch Auction" type tender offer
(the "Tender Offer") to purchase up to 5,300,000 shares of its Common Stock at a
purchase price not greater than $8.00 per share nor less than $6.75 per share.
Pursuant to the Tender Offer, which terminated on April 21, 1995, the Company
purchased 3,150,560 shares of its Common Stock at a purchase price of $8.00 per
share. The aggregate cost to the Company of the Tender Offer, including
expenses, was approximately $26.2 million, which was funded from cash and cash
equivalents and short term investments.

    In July 1992 the Company sold $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 
its 8.95% Senior Notes Due June 30, 1999 (the "Senior Notes") to a group of ten 
institutional investors pursuant to a Note Agreement dated as of July 1, 1992 
(the "Note Agreement"). The principal of the Senior Notes is payable in five 
equal annual installments of $10.0 million, the first of which was made on 
June 30, 1995. Effective as of March 8, 1995, the holders of the Senior Notes
waived compliance with certain covenants contained in the Note Agreement in
order to permit the Tender Offer and amended certain financial covenants to take
into account the effect of the consummation of the Tender Offer. The Senior
Notes include a yield maintenance prepayment penalty if any principal is repaid
prior to the installment due date. Had the entire outstanding principal amount
been prepaid at September 30, 1995 the prepayment penalty would have been
approximately $2.3 million.

    On February 25, 1993 the Company entered into an unsecured revolving credit 
agreement with Citicorp USA, Inc. and Citibank, N.A. (the "Credit Agreement"). 
Effective as of March 17, 1995 the Credit Agreement was amended to (1) extend 
the maturity date from March 31, 1996 to October 31, 1998; (2) increase the 
total maximum facility from $20.0 to $35.0 million, consisting of a loan 
facility of $25.0 million and a letter of credit facility of $10.0 million; and 
(3) to amend certain covenants to permit the Tender Offer and to take into 
account the effect of the consummation of the Tender Offer on certain financial 
ratios. At September 30, 1995 there were no advances outstanding and $2.9 
million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility.

    Both the Note Agreement and the Credit Agreement restrict the payment of 
dividends (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) on, 
and repurchases of, Common Stock. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, which
is generally the more restrictive of these, the amount available for the payment
of dividends on, and

<PAGE>
 
repurchases of, Common Stock is limited to 25% of the Company's consolidated net
income arising after January 1, 1992, computed on a cumulative basis. In
addition, pursuant to the March 17, 1995 amendment to the Credit Agreement
discussed above, the Company may repurchase at any time prior to December 31,
1995 shares of its Common Stock for an aggregate cost not exceeding $50.0
million including shares purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer. The Company may
also purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock from the proceeds of
the substantially concurrent sale of shares of Common Stock.

    On May 26, 1994 the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized
the repurchase of up to one million shares of the Company's Common Stock for an
aggregate purchase price not exceeding $6 million (the "Repurchase Program"). On
May 26, 1995 the Company announced an increase and extension of the above 
Repurchase Program. The total number of shares authorized for repurchase was 
increased to 1,500,000; the maximum aggregate purchase price was increased to 
$11.0 million and the purchase period was extended through December 31, 1996. 
This additional authorization is subject to approval by the Company's lenders.
To date the Company has repurchased on the open market 436,500 shares of its
Common Stock at an average price of approximately $7.53 per share. The last such
purchase was on November 2, 1995.

    At September 30, 1995 the Company's working capital was $88.9 million as 
compared to $112.3 million at December 31, 1994 and its current ratio was 2.6 to
1.0 as compared to 3.4 to 1.0 at December 31, 1994. Long-term debt as a percent 
of total capitalization was 16% at September 30, 1995 as compared to 19% at 
December 31, 1994. The decrease in working capital and current ratio is due to
the completion of the Tender Offer. The decline in long-term debt as a percent
of total capitalization is due to the June 30 principal payment made on the
Senior Notes.

    The Company's capital expenditures during the first nine months of 1995 were
$10.7 million. For all of 1995 the Company's expects capital expenditures to be 
approximately $13.6 million. These expenditures compare to capital expenditures 
of $8.6 million in 1994. The Company believes its revolving credit facility and 
its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to purchase additional shares 
pursuant to the Repurchase Program and to meet its capital expenditures and 
operating cash needs in 1995 and 1996.
