                  CHRISTIANA COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the results for
the interim periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's 1995 Annual Report.

NOTE 2 - PRO FORMA OPERATING RESULTS

On June 30, 1995, Prideco, Inc. ("Prideco"), a majority-owned subsidiary of the
Company, merged with Grant Acquisition Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Energy Ventures, Inc. ("EVI").  In the merger, the Company's shares of Prideco
were converted into 1,035,858 shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value, of EVI.
EVI's common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE:EVI).   Accordingly, the individual accounts of Prideco have been
eliminated from the Company's June 30, 1995 Balance Sheet which reflects the
effect of the merger.  Prideco's results of operations are included in the
Company's Consolidated Statement of Earnings through June 30, 1995, the date of
the merger.  Concurrently with the merger, the Company acquired an additional
912,873 shares of EVI common stock directly from EVI and the minority
shareholders of Prideco for an aggregate cash price of $13,291,000.

The investment in EVI is classified as "available for sale". Investment
securities classified as available for sale at December 31, 1995 are carried at
fair value with fair value adjustments, net of their related income tax
effects, reported as a component of shareholders' equity.

The following summarizes the unaudited consolidated pro forma operating results
of the Company as if the merger of Prideco, Inc. had occurred as of July 1,
1994 the beginning of the periods.

ITEM 2
               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operations

Christiana Companies consolidated revenues for the three months ended 
December 31, 1995 were $19,651,000 versus $30,198,000 reported for the 
comparable period a year ago.  Revenues were lower this period due to the
completed merger of Prideco with a unit of Energy Ventures, Inc.  (NYSE:EVI) on
June 30, 1995. Revenues attributable to Refrigerated Warehousing and Logistics
increased 13%   or $2,243,000 in the first quarter fiscal 1996 compared with
$17,408,000 for the same period last year.  Revenue growth this quarter within
this segment occurred due to increased storage and handling volume at Wiscold,
particularly at its largest facility in Rochelle, Illinois and growth in
transportation and international freight forwarding services at The TLC Group.

Operating earnings for the quarter were $1,053,000 versus $2,355,000 generated
in the comparable period a year ago.  The reduction in operating earnings is
primarily attributable to the absence of Prideco's operations this quarter and
to a lesser extent reduced margins in Refrigerated Warehousing and Logistics.
Operating margins of the Refrigerated Warehousing and Logistics segment were
lower due to higher unused capacity at certain warehouses and higher start-up
labor expense associated with new high volume distribution accounts.

Sales of 10 condominium homes were completed in the second quarter of fiscal
1996 which generated a pretax gain of $474,000 compared with sales of 10 homes
in the same period last year which contributed pretax earnings of $644,000.
Sales this year tended to be lower-priced homes, resulting in a lower gross
profit.

Consolidated net earnings for the quarter were $489,000 or $0.09 per share
compared with $1,030,000 or $0.20 per share for the same period a year ago.
Net earnings were lower this period due to reduced margins in Refrigerated
Warehousing and Logistics, sales of less expensive homes, and the absence of
Prideco's operations due to its merger.

In the second quarter, Christiana generated $2,602,000 of after-tax cash flow 
from operations.

For the first six months of fiscal 1996 Christiana Companies consolidated
revenues were $39,588,000 versus $62,267,000 for the comparable period last
year.  Refrigerated Warehousing and Logistics revenue increased 8% when
compared to $36,577,000 for the same period a year ago due to growth at TLC in
warehousing, transportation and international services.  Wiscold's revenues
were in line year to year, but due to a poor vegetable harvest in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 vegetable freezing services this year were reduced
resulting in lower operating margins.  For the six month period ended 
December 31, 1995, Refrigerated Warehousing and Logistics contributed 
$1,436,000 or $0.28 per share versus $2,031,000 or $0.38 per share in the
comparable period last year.

For the six months ended December 31, 1995, sales of 24 homes were completed
generating net earnings of $788,000 or $0.15 per share.  That compares with
sales of 30 homes in the same period last year which contributed net earnings
of $1,249,000 or $0.23 per share.

As of December 31, 1995, Christiana had 58 units available for sale in the
Tierrasanta region of San Diego, California.  In December, Christiana agreed to
sell 16 homes which are currently in the rental pool to an investor.  This
sale, which is scheduled for completion in the third quarter, will transfer the
homes in an "as is" condition, eliminating refurbishment expense.




                                                                               7
<PAGE>   8

In the six month period, Christiana generated $6,274,000 of after-tax cash flow
from operations.

Financial Condition

Cash equivalents and short term investments totaled $5,209,000 as of 
December 31, 1995 compared with $3,197,000 at June 30, 1995, an increase of 
$2,012,000. Cash provided by operating activities of $4,940,000 was 
attributable primarily to net earnings, depreciation, amortization and deferred
taxes.  Cash used in investing activities of $980,000 resulted from capital
expenditures of $5,846,000 primarily attributable to warehousing and logistics
operations, offset by a decrease of $2,529,000 in short term investments and
proceeds from asset sales, primarily real estate, of $4,137,000.

On December 31, 1995, Christiana held for investment 1,948,731 shares of EVI
which represented approximately a 10.5% ownership interest.  On December 31,
1995 EVI's share price was $25.25 giving Christiana's holdings a market value
of $49,205,000.  Unrealized appreciation of this investment, before tax,
increased $3,900,000 in the second quarter to $17,300,000 as of December 31,
1995.  At quarter end, unrealized investment gain, net of tax totaled
$10,498,000.

Christiana's operating units have capital commitments to construct new
distribution oriented warehousing capacity.  Wiscold is constructing a new 
3.5 million cubic foot refrigerated distribution center in Rochelle, Illinois 
with an expected cost of $11.5 million.  The new facility is being built on
company owned property at the site of its existing 10.6 million cubic foot
refrigerated distribution center.  This facility is expected to be completed
and operational early in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996.  At December 31,
1995, $1.1 million had been expended, with a commitment of an estimated $10.4
million remaining.

The TLC Group is expanding its newest dry distribution center in Zeeland,
Michigan by 106,000 sq. ft.   When completed during the third quarter of fiscal
1996, this facility will total 220,000 sq. ft. of dry distribution capacity.
Construction costs of this expansion are expected to be $2.3 million, of which
$0.6 million was spent through December 31, 1995.

The construction of these facilities is expected to be funded primarily by
subsidiary issued term debt.

New Accounting Standard

In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which establishes financial
accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation.  The
company plans to adopt only the pro forma disclosure requirements of this
statement, and to continue to apply the accounting provisions of Opinion 25 to
stock-based employee compensation arrangements, as is allowed by the statement.
This disclosure will be effective with the June 30, 1997 financial statements.
