                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        ----------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1:   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of OSCA, Inc. and
its consolidated subsidiaries ("OSCA" or "the Company") have been prepared in
accordance with 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 the information and footnotes
necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of
operations.

It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair
financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto, included in Form S-1.

Effective June 15, 2000, Great Lakes Chemical Corporation ("Great Lakes") sold
40% of its ownership in OSCA in an Initial Public Offering ("IPO"). On July 13,
2000, the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters was exercised and
resulted in an additional distribution of stock which reduced Great Lakes
ownership by 3.4% to 56.6%. The net proceeds of the IPO and the over-allotment
were paid to Great Lakes to satisfy indebtedness or as a dividend. See Note 7 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2:   SPECIAL CHARGES

During 1998, in connection with a Great Lakes repositioning plan, OSCA
recognized a special charge of $13.4 million or $8.3 million after income taxes.
Of the $13.4 million, $10.1 million was recorded for actions taken in the third
quarter of 1998 and another $2.6 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of
1998. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 1999, due to certain changes in the
repositioning plan, OSCA recognized a credit to special charges in the amount of
$2.6 million.

A summary of spending against the reserve for special charges since December 31,
1999 is as follows (in thousands):

Also in June of 2000, OSCA borrowed $31.0 million against a $40.0 million credit
facility established in conjunction with the IPO. In July of 2000, the
underwriters exercised the over-allotment option granted to them and an
additional 840,000 shares (3.4%) were sold at $15.50 per share.

The source and use of these funds are as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues in the third quarter increased 57.9% to $34.1 million from $21.6
million compared to the corresponding period in 1999. Volume expansion
accompanied by moderate price increases in Completion Services and Downhole
Tools drove the increase. Increased market penetration as well as increased
activity in the Company's markets contributed to these improved results. For the
first nine months of 2000, revenues increased 31.2% to $89.5 million from $68.2
million one year ago. The increase was primarily due to accelerated drilling and
workover activity in the Gulf of Mexico driven by higher commodity prices for
oil and gas.

In the third quarter of 2000 cost of sales increased 44.9% to $25.5 million from
$17.6 million, however gross profit margin improved to 25.2% from 18.6% as
compared to the third quarter of 1999 reflecting the effect of the increased
volume, favorable product mix and price improvement. For the nine months



                                                                               8
<PAGE>   10
ended September 30, 2000, cost of sales increased 19.9% to $66.9 million from
$55.8 million, whereas gross profit margin improved to 25.3% from 18.3% as
compared to the corresponding period of 1999. Higher volumes and selling price
increases contributed to the improved gross profit margin.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the third quarter of
2000 increased to $5.1 million over the prior year period of $4.6 million. This
increase was primarily due to the addition of technical personnel required to
support the Company's growth, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico market where
exploration and production activity has increased. For year-to-date 2000, SG&A
expenses increased to $15.4 million from $13.8 million compared to the
corresponding period of the prior year. This increase in SG&A expenses was
necessitated by and contributed to the Company's growing revenue and market
expansion.

Interest and other expense increased $0.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from the same period last year primarily due to the $31.0
million interest-bearing loan established in June of 2000. For year-to-date 2000
as compared to 1999, interest and other expense grew by $0.8 million as a result
of the loan previously discussed.

Net income for the third quarter of 2000 was $1.7 million, or $0.12 per share
compared to a net loss of ($0.1) million or ($.02) per share one year ago. Net
income for the nine months was $4.1 million, or $0.38 per share, as compared to
a net loss of ($0.5) million or ($.06) per share for the corresponding period
last year. These improvements reflect the factors discussed above.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Set forth below is a discussion of the operations of the Company's business
segments: Completion Fluids, Completion Services and Downhole Completion Tools.
Operating income, which is the income measure the company uses to evaluate
business segment performance, represents net sales less cost of sales and
selling, general and administrative expenses.

COMPLETION FLUIDS

The Completion Fluids business unit is a market leader in the sale and service
of high-density brine completion fluids and related on-site fluid maintenance
services including filtration, engineering and performance additives. Results
for the quarter and first nine months follow:

                                        THREE MONTHS          NINE MONTHS

     Operating income                $   0.7    $   0.6    $   2.3    $   2.3

Completion Fluids revenue for the quarter increased 13.1% to $12.1 million
compared to $10.7 million one year ago, reflecting higher volumes that more than
offset lower selling prices. Operating income increased 16.7% to $0.7 million
from $0.6 million due to a better product mix led by sales of high-value
proprietary fluid systems.



                                                                               9
<PAGE>   11
For the nine months ended September 2000, revenues decreased 2.6% to $36.8
million from $37.8 million a year ago. Higher sales volumes were more than
offset by lower selling prices for conventional fluid systems. Operating income
was comparable to the prior year period at $2.3 million.


COMPLETION SERVICES

The Completion Services business unit consists of the Marine Well Service, Skid
Pumping Service and Coiled Tubing Service product lines. Results for the quarter

     Operating income               $   2.5    ($ 0.8)    $   3.6    ($  2.0)

Completion Services revenue increased 112.7% versus the third quarter of 1999.
Revenues for the first nine months increased 73.7% compared to the same period
last year. Third quarter 2000 operating income improved $3.3 million from third
quarter 1999 while year-to-date 2000 operating income grew $5.6 million over
year-to-date 1999.

New contracts in Brazil, market penetration and higher activity levels combined
to drive the improvements in revenue. The increased volumes coupled with higher
selling prices were responsible for the significant improvement in operating
income during the quarter and for the first nine months.

Completion Tools revenues increased 87.0% from the third quarter of 1999.
Revenues in the first nine months increased 72.8% compared to the corresponding
period in 1999. Third quarter 2000 operating income improved $0.6 million
(120.0%) from third quarter 1999 while year-to-date 2000 operating income grew
$2.5 million (312.5%) over year-to-date 1999.

The significant improvements in revenue and operating income reflect gains in
market share and increased well completion activities. OSCA's expanding
intelligent well completion technology has positioned this business unit as the
front runner in high demand well completions.

FINANCIAL CONDITION & LIQUIDITY

Inventories were $25.6 million at September 30, 2000, an increase of $6.3
million from year-end 1999 and $6.6 million from a year ago. The increase in
inventories was due to higher activity levels in the Downhole Completion Tool
business.

Accounts receivable increased $11.2 million to $32.0 million at September 30,
2000, as compared to December 31, 1999. The increase was due to increases in
revenue in the Completion Services and Downhole Tools segments.

Current liabilities decreased $62.3 million to $14.4 million at September 30,
2000 from $76.7 million at December 31, 1999. The decrease was primarily
attributable to payment of the dividend note payable to Great Lakes. (See Note 7
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Long-term debt increased to $30.5 million at September 30, 2000, as the Company
established a line of credit with a financial institution as part of the IPO.
(See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Intercompany payables to Great Lakes decreased $42.2 million to $1.4 million at
September 30, 2000 from $43.6 million at year-end 1999. Proceeds for this
reduction came primarily from the IPO proceeds and the line of credit
established as part of the Initial Public Offering. (See Note 7 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Capital spending for the first nine months amounted to $3.1 million. Spending
for the year is expected to be approximately $4.6 million.

Additional paid in capital increased $90.1 million and common stock increased
$64,400 from year-end 1999. These increases were due to the sale of 6,440,000
shares of Class A common stock. (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.)

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement,
as amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138, will be effective for the Company beginning
with the first quarter of 2001. The Statement requires companies to recognize
all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company is evaluating
the new statement's provisions and has not yet determined the impact of adoption
on the results of operations or financial position.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101") - "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in


financial statements. Management does not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to have
a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
The Company is required to adopt SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of 2000.
