CLX ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1996

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The balance sheet as of June 30, 1996, the statements of operations
for the nine months and three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and
the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 
and 1995 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 June 30, 1996 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 would have 
been antidilutive.

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 in a prior year (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 1996 for a total
of $104,520 and are in arrears at June 30, 1996.

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

Analysis of Financial Condition

During the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company purchased
unproved oil and gas properties at a cost of approximately $13,900.
During the same period, the Company sold part of its interest in 
certain unproved oil and gas prospects for $68,575 and sold a producing
property for $2,500.  The Company received $17,726 for management fees 
in connection with acting as contract operator for certain wells 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 June 30, 1996 the Company had negative working capital of $53,794.
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 increased for the nine months and the three months ended 
June 30, 1996 as a result of higher oil and gas prices and sales from a new 
gas well that was completed in late February of 1995.  Management fees did not
change significantly for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the
nine months ended June 30, 1995.  The 1996 fees were received for acting as 
contract operator on certain wells drilled in early 1996 while the 1995
management fees were received for acting as contract operator for a seismic
program.

Lease operating expenses and production taxes increased primarily due to a
general increase in operating costs on wells.  Depreciation and depletion 
decreased primarily as a result of declining production on most of the oil 
and gas properties and a lower cost basis of producing properties as a result 
of an impairment provision at September 30, 1995.  General and administrative 
expenses decreased for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 primarily due to a 
general decrease in activity.  General and administrative expenses increased
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 1995 primarily due to an increase in wages paid.

During the nine months ended June 30, 1996 the Company sold part of its 
interests in three unproved oil and gas prospects that resulted in gains 
of approximately $42,000 and sold a producing property resulting in a gain
of $2,500.  In prior year, the Company sold part of its interest in an 
unproved oil and gas prospect that resulted in a gain of approximately
$6,700.  Interest expense increased for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 
as a result of additional short-term borrowings.  Interest expense decreased
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 primarily due to payments on 
long-term debt.
