NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, the statements of
operations for the three months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and
the statements of cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 1995
and 1994 have been prepared by the Company, without audit.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at December 31, 1995
and for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principals have been condensed or omitted as permitted by
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
While the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the September 30, 1995
financial statements of CLX Energy, Inc., the notes thereto and the
Independent Auditors' Report thereon.

Note B - Net loss per common share

Net loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during the period.  Common stock equivalents, consisting of options,
have not been considered in the computation because they have reduced
the net loss per share.

Note C - Preferred stock

Each share of the Company's outstanding Series A preferred stock was
convertible into one share of common stock until the conversion
privilege expired on April 30, 1983.  Except in certain specified
circumstances, the Series A preferred stock is nonvoting.  The Series
A shares are redeemable at the option of the Company at $1.50 per
share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Series A preferred
stock has an involuntary liquidation preference of $1 per share plus
accrued and unpaid dividends.  Dividends on preferred stock of $.06
per share, $8,040, were not declared in 1984 through 1995 for a total
of $96,480 and are in arrears at December 31, 1995.

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

Analysis of Financial Condition

During the three months ended December 31, 1995, the Company purchased
unproved oil and gas properties at a cost of approximately $8,700.
During the same period, the Company sold part of its interest in 
certain unproved oil and gas prospects for $47,199.  The Company received
$4,240 for management fees in connection with acting as contract operator
for certain wells to be drilled in early 1996.  The seismic program that
the Company was receiving $5,000 in management fees per month in 1994
terminated at the end of December, 1994.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

At December 31, 1995 the Company had negative working capital of 
$72,170.  Revenues from existing oil and gas production and management
fees from operating a drilling program will not be adequate to cover the
normal operating expenses of the Company without a reduction of general
and administrative expenses.  In addition, the Company may be required 
to continue to sell some of its oil and gas properties or raise additional
capital from other sources to participate in any drilling activities.
The Company continues to attempt to acquire producing properties for
stock or in leveraged transactions to increase its monthly revenues.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Oil and gas sales decreased as a result of declines in production and the
sale of an interest in a producing oil property.  Management fees decreased
due to the termination of the seismic program at the end of December,
1994 for which the Company was receiving $5,000 per month.

Lease operating expenses and production taxes decreased due to the sale of
an interest in a producing property with high operating costs and lower
production taxes as a result of lower sales.  Depreciation and depletion
decreased primarily as a result of reduced production of oil and gas 
reserves and a lower cost basis of producing properties as a result of 
an impairment provision at September 30, 1995.  General and administrative
expenses decreased primarily due to a general decrease in activity.

In December, 1995 the Company sold part of its interests in two unproved
oil and gas prospects that resulted in a gain of approximately $23,500.
In prior year, the Company sold part of its interest in an unproved oil
and gas prospect that resulted in a gain of $5,000.  Interest expense
increased as a result of additional short-term borrowings.
