NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The balance sheet as of June 30, 1997, the statements of operations
for the nine months and three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and
the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996 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, 1997 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, 1996
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 1997 for a total
of $112,560 and are in arrears at June 30, 1997.

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

Analysis of Financial Condition

During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the Company purchased
unproved oil and gas properties at a cost of approximately $7,900 and 
participated in the drilling of dry holes at a cost of $6,430.
During the same period, the Company sold part of its interest in 
certain unproved oil and gas prospects for $5,000.  The Company received 
$21,583 for management fees in connection with acting as contract operator for 
certain wells drilled during the nine months ended June 30, 1997.  In December 
1996, the company sold in a private placement 833,333 shares of common stock
for $.15 per share for a total of $125,000.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

At June 30, 1997 the Company had working capital of $43,999.  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 ended June 30, 1997 primarily 
as a result of higher oil and gas prices during the first six months of the 
Company's fiscal year.  Oil and gas sales decreased for the three months ended 
June 30, 1997 primarily as a result of lower gas prices during that three month
period.  Management fees for the nine months and three months ended June 30, 
1997 as compared to the nine months and three months ended June 30, 1996 
increased due to an increase in activity on a drilling program that the company
acts as operator.

Lease operating expenses and production taxes did not change significantly for 
the nine months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended 
June 30, 1996.  Lease operating expenses and production taxes for the three 
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996
decreased due to a reduction in production taxes as a result of the decrease in
sales, and a general decrease in operating costs.  Depreciation and depletion 
decreased primarily as a result of declining production on most of the oil and 
gas properties.  General and administrative expenses increased for the nine 
months and the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the prior 
periods primarily due to a general increase in activity.  

During the nine months ended June 30, 1997 the Company sold part of its 
interests in an unproved oil and gas prospect that resulted in a gain of 
$5,000.  During the nine months ended June 30, 1996 the Company sold part of 
its interest in three unproved oil and gas prospects that resulted in gains of
$44,587.  Interest expense decreased due to the repayment of all short-term
and long-term debt.
