NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1998
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The balance sheet as of June 30, 1998, the statements of operations
for the nine months and three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and
the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 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, 1998 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, 1997
financial statements of CLX Energy, Inc., the notes thereto and the
Independent Auditors' Report thereon.
Note B - Net income (loss) per common share
Net loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period as illustrated below:
Nine Months Ended Three Months Ended

Options to purchase 475,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at
June 30, 1998 (743,750 at June 30, 1997) but were not included in the
computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater than
the average market price of the common shares.
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 1998 for a total of $120,600 and are in arrears at June 30, 1998.
Note D - Contingency
The Company has been advised by Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company that on
September 10, 1997 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an
order that requires first sellers of gas to make refunds for all Kansas Ad
Valorem tax reimbursements collected for the period from October 3, 1983
through June 28, 1988, with interest.
This claim resulted from a Federal Energy Regulatory Commmission (FERC) order
issued September 10, 1997 which stated that ad valorem tax levied by the State
of Kansas could not be considered as an add-on to the Maximum Lawful Price
(MLP) of gas sold under the NGPA of 1978 covering the period from
October 3, 1983 through June 28, 1988. This order reversed the FERC rules in
effect during that time period that ad valorem taxes paid to the State of
Kansas by producers could recover from the pipeline company by the producers
over and above the MLP of gas sold under the guidelines set forth in the NGPA
of 1978.
The predecessor of the Company, Calvin Exploration Inc. was operator of certain
Kansas gas wells during the period covered by the order. Panhandle Eastern
Pipe Line Company has advised the Company that Calvin Exploration Inc., as
first seller, was paid $57,732 in Kansas Ad Valorem taxes. The Company was
also advised that as successor in interest to the first seller, the amount of
the refund that must be repaid with interest approximates $198,000 at
June 30, 1998.
The Company believes that, based on the law as it exists today, its liability
is limited to its ownership percentage. Accounts payable includes
approximately $48,000 in connection with the FERC claim, including interest and
estimated legal expenses.
The Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association (KIOGA) has intervened with the
FERC requesting elimination of the interest charge on the claimed refunds. The
interest amounts to approximately 70% of the total refunds claimed. Bills have
been introduced in both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate seeking
the same relief.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Analysis of Financial Condition
During the nine months ended June 30, 1998, the Company acquired proved and
unproved oil and gas properties at a cost of $4,752. During the same period,
the Company sold part of its interest in unproved oil and gas prospects for
$7,130. The Company received $900 in management fees for operating a drilling
program during the nine months ended June 30, 1998. 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, 1998 the Company had negative working capital of $50,150.
Revenues from existing oil and gas production and management fees from
operating a drilling program are not adequate to cover the normal operating
expenses of the Company without a reduction of general and administrative
expenses.
The Company currently has drilling prospects which it is actively marketing to
industry participants. If these prospects are successfully sold, the Company
will receive a front-end payment and an interest carried free of costs in these
prospects which would improve the Company's cash flow.
Analysis of Results of Operations
Oil and gas sales decreased for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 as a result
of lower oil and gas prices and declining production. Oil and gas sales
increased for the three months ended March 31, 1998 primarily as a result of
normal fluctuations in production. Management fees decreased for the nine
months and the three months ended June 30, 1998 since the drilling program that
the Company acts as operator has terminated.
Lease operating expenses and production taxes decreased for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998 due to lower production taxes as a result of the decrease
in sales, and a general decrease in operating costs caused by mild weather
conditions. Lease operating expenses and production taxes increased for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 as a result of the increase in sales and other
normal fluctuations. Depreciation and depletion increased primarily as a
result of increased depreciation and depletion on a property with a high cost
basis. General and administrative expenses decreased for the nine months and
the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the prior periods primarily
due to a general decrease in activity and reduced salary expense.
During the nine months ended June 30, 1998 the Company sold part of its
interest in unproved oil and gas prospects that resulted in a gain of $632.
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. Interest expense increased due to the interest accruing on its
estimated liability for the FERC ordered refund on Kansas gas pricing.
