                             DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

COMPANY OVERVIEW
----------------

     CLX Energy, Inc., (the "Company") is an independent oil and gas company
which was incorporated in the State of Colorado on December 12, 1977.  The
Company engages in on-shore oil and gas exploration, development and production
in the continental United States.  The Company's oil and gas activities are
concentrated primarily in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
---------------------------------------------

     The Company has engaged in only one industry segment and line of business,
namely the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of oil and gas
properties for its own account.  See the Company's Financial Statements included
herein.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
--------------------------

     Certain statements contained in this document, including without limitation
statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "intends," "expects,"
and words of similar import, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Such forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
--------------------

     CLX Energy, Inc., the Company, is engaged in the operation of producing oil
and gas wells, the acquisition of producing properties, the acquisition of oil
and gas leases, and the development of oil and gas drilling prospects.  Drilling
prospects, both development and wildcat, are sold to others on a promoted basis
with the Company recovering its land, legal and geological costs and retaining a
cost free interest in the prospect.

     As of September 30, 2000 the Company's significant oil and gas operations
were located in the following areas.

               STATE               COUNTY
               -----               ------

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS PRODUCED AND SERVICES RENDERED
-------------------------------------------------

     The Company's principal products are crude oil and natural gas.  Crude oil
and natural gas are sold to various purchasers, including pipeline companies,
which generally service the area in which the Company's wells are located.  The
Company's oil and gas production is sold to several purchasers, three of which
purchased more than 10% of oil and gas revenues.  Prices received for the
Company's oil and gas production is based upon the "spot" market of the National
Commodity Futures Exchange subject to reductions for transportation and product
quality.  These prices vary from month to month subject to supply and demand.
See the Company's Financial Statements included herein.

STATUS OF NEW PRODUCTS OR INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
-------------------------------------------

     There has been no public announcement of, and no information otherwise has
been made public about a new product or industry segment, which would require
the investment of a material amount of the Company's assets, or which otherwise
is material.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS
-----------------------------------------

     The existence of commercial oil and gas reserves is essential to the
ultimate realization of value from the Company's properties and therefore may be
considered a raw material essential to the Company's business.  However, the
acquisition, exploration, development, production, and sale of oil and gas is
subject to many factors which are outside the Company's control.  These factors
include national and international economic conditions, availability of drilling
rigs, casing, pipe and other equipment and supplies, proximity to pipelines, the
supply and price of other fuels.  The Company acquires oil and gas properties
from landowners, other owners of interests in such properties, or governmental
entities.  For information relating to specific properties of the Company see
Item 2 below.  The Company currently is not experiencing any difficulty in
acquiring necessary supplies, including drilling rigs.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES, FRANCHISES AND CONCESSIONS
---------------------------------------------------------

     The Company does not own any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, or
concessions, except oil and gas interests granted by governmental authorities
and private land owners.

SEASONAL NATURE OF BUSINESS
---------------------------

     The Company's business is not seasonal in nature.

WORKING CAPITAL ITEMS
---------------------

     Working capital is not required to carry inventories to meet rapid delivery
requirements, or to assure continuous allotments of goods from suppliers.
Access to sufficient cash is essential to take advantage of opportunities to
acquire, develop, and operate oil and gas properties.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS
---------------

     The Company's business does not depend upon a single customer or a very few
customers.  Oil and gas purchasers have been readily available in this Company's
market areas (See Note 10 to Financial Statements).

BACKLOG
-------

     Backlog is not relevant to an understanding of the Company's business.

RENEGOTIATION OR TERMINATION OF GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
----------------------------------------------------

     No portion of the Company's business is subject to renegotiation of profits
or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the Government.

COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS
----------------------

     The exploration for and development and production of oil and gas are
subject to intense competition.  The principal methods of competition in the
industry for the acquisition of oil and gas leases are the payment of bonus
payments at the time of acquisition of leases, delay rentals, location damage
supplement payments, the use of differential royalty rates, the amount of annual
rental payments and stipulations requiring exploration and production
commitments by the lessee.  Companies with greater financial resources, existing
staff and labor forces, equipment for exploration, and vast experience will be
in a better position than the Company to compete for such leases.  In addition,
the availability of a ready market for oil and gas will depend upon numerous
factors beyond the Company's control, including the extent of domestic
production and imports of oil, proximity and capacity of pipelines, and the
affect of federal and state regulation of oil and gas sales.  The Company has an
insignificant competitive position in the oil and gas industry.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
------------------------

     The Company has not engaged and does not currently engage in any research
and development activities.

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
----------------------

     The Company is subject to various federal, state, and local provisions
regarding environmental matters, the existence of which has not hindered nor
adversely affected the Company's business.  Although the Company does not
believe its business operations presently impair environmental quality,
compliance with federal, state and local regulations which have been enacted or
adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment could have an
adverse effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position
of the Company.  Since inception, the Company has not made any material capital
expenditures for environmental control facilities and is not aware of any such
expenditures that will be required in the current or following fiscal years.

EMPLOYEES
---------

     As of September 30, 2000, the Company employed one person, the President
and Chief Executive Officer, on a full-time basis.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Company has no operations in foreign countries and no portion of its
sales or revenues is derived from customers in foreign countries.

     Net acres represent the gross acres in a lease or leases multiplied by the
Company's working interest in such lease or leases.

     The Company's undeveloped acreage is all held pursuant to leases from the
landowner or a governmental entity.  Such leases have varying dates of execution
and generally expire one to five years after the date of the lease.  The Company
is obligated to pay varying delay rentals to the lessors of such properties to
prevent the leases from expiring.

PROVED AND PROVED DEVELOPED RESERVES
------------------------------------

     The following table shows, for the years indicated, the proved and proved
developed oil and gas reserves attributable to the Company's interests.  Proved
oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and
natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with
reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs
under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of
the date the estimate is made.  Prices include consideration of changes in
existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on
escalations based upon future conditions.  Proved developed oil and gas reserves
are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with
equipment and operating methods.

     The Series A Preferred Stock was converted into common stock on January 11,
1999.  See note (5) of the Notes to Financial Statements for details of the
conversion.

     On February 2, 1999, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement
pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 5,773,973 shares of its
common stock to ten persons.  The Company received a total of $275,000 cash for
the issuance of those shares of common stock and the acquirors of those shares
agreed to loan the Company, or guaranty debt of the Company for, up to $300,000
for oil and gas acquisitions during the period commencing on February 2, 1999
and ending on February 2, 2002.  The Company issued its common stock in that
transaction pursuant to an exemption from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

     Simultaneous with the completion of the foregoing private placement, the
outstanding preferred stock of the Company, including the accrued but unpaid
interest, was exchanged for common stock of the Company at an exchange rate of
five shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock including accrued
but unpaid interest.  A total of 670,005 shares of common stock were issued by
the Company in that exchange pursuant to an exemption from registration under

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OR OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND COMMITMENTS
--------------------------------------------

     In fiscal 2000 the Company participated in the drilling of 6 wells, 4 of
which were productive.  In fiscal 1999 the Company purchased interests in six
producing gas wells and participated in the drilling of 4 wells, three of which
were productive.  Based on current prices for oil and gas, the Company believes
that net cash flow from oil and gas sales should be adequate to cover the fixed
costs of the Company for the next fiscal year.

     In fiscal 1999 the Company completed a private placement of 5,773,793
shares of its common stock for $275,000.

     The Company's current assets exceed its current liabilities by
approximately $89,000.  The Company believes it has adequate cash flow, based on
current oil and gas prices to service the bank debt for the next fiscal year.

     The Company currently has drilling prospects which it will be actively
marketing to industry participants on a promoted basis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating Revenue
-----------------

     Revenue from oil and gas sales for the year ended September 30, 2000 was
$656,811 compared to $167,779 for the year ended September 30, 1999.  This
increase is primarily attributable to additional revenues from new oil and gas
wells that the Company participated in drilling and increases in average unit
prices for oil and gas.  Management fees increased due to operating fees
received for operating certain producing wells and management fees received for
serving as general partner of a limited partnership.

     A comparison of approximate volumes sold and average unit prices is
summarized as follows:

                                   YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

     Average Unit Price
     ------------------

       Oil (Bbls.)                  $23.41            10.85
       Gas (MCF)                    $ 3.26             2.25

Operating Costs and Expenses
----------------------------

     Lease operating expense, was $127,282 for the year ended September 30, 2000
compared to $36,006 for the year ended September 30, 1999.  Production taxes
increased from $15,182 in the 1999 fiscal year to $35,548 in the 2000 fiscal
year.  The increases are attributable primarily to the additional wells and the
increase in oil and gas sales.

     Depreciation and depletion increased as a result of the increase in oil and
gas properties and related production.

     Dry hole expense and abandoned leases increased as a result of the increase
in drilling activity.

     General and administrative expense for the year ended September 30, 2000
was $166,806 compared to $118,151 for the year ended September 30, 1999.  The
increase was primarily the result of a general increase in most expenses
resulting from the increased activity due to the additional producing properties
and acting as operator on certain producing wells.

     Interest expense increased due to the bank debt used to purchase producing
oil and gas properties.

Operating Revenue
-----------------

     Revenue from oil and gas sales for the year ended September 30, 1999 was
$167,779 compared to $82,019 for the year ended September 30, 1998.  This
increase is primarily attributable to purchased oil and gas properties and new
discoveries.  The increase in gas sales volumes was also primarily the result of
purchased properties and new discoveries.  Management fees increased since the
Company is now acting as operator on several wells.

     A comparison of approximate volumes sold and average unit prices is
summarized as follows:

Operating Costs and Expenses
----------------------------

     Lease operating expense, was $36,006 for the year ended September 30, 1999
compared to $15,505 for the year ended September 30, 1998.  This increase is
attributable primarily to expenses associated with purchased oil and gas
properties and new discoveries.  The increase in production taxes was
attributable to the increase in oil and gas sales.

     Depreciation and depletion increased as a result of increased production
and higher cost basis of purchased properties.

     The unusual expenses for the year ended September 30, 1999 includes $9,900
for the Company's share of a settlement with the Wind River Tax Commission
concerning royalty calculations for gas sold from a gas field from 1988 to 1995.
All working interest owners approved settling the dispute to avoid the cost of
litigation.  The Company sold its interest in the gas property in 1995.  Unusual
expenses also includes $5,178 of expenses associated with the ad valorem tax
reimbursement described in Note 11.

     General and administrative expense for the year ended September 30, 1999
was $118,151 compared to $88,690 for the year ended September 30, 1998.  The
increase was the result of increases in salary expense, contract wages and a
general increase in costs associated with increased activities.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     Years Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    ------------------------------------------

     (a)  Nature of operations
          --------------------
          The Company is engaged in the oil and gas business which consists of
          acquiring, exploring, developing, selling and operating oil and gas
          properties.  The Company's oil and gas activities are subject to
          existing Federal, state and local environmental laws, rules and
          regulations.  All of the Company's activities are in the United
          States, primarily Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming.  The
          Company's oil and gas production is sold to several purchasers,
          some of which purchase more than 10 percent of oil and gas revenues.

     (b)  Use of estimates
          ----------------
          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
          Oil and gas reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and are
          continually subject to revisions based on production history, results
          of additional exploration and development, price of oil and gas and
          other factors.  Accordingly it is at least reasonably possible those
          estimates could be revised in the near term and those revisions could
          be material.

     (c)  Property and equipment
          ----------------------
          The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting.
          Lease acquisition and development costs (tangible and intangible) for
          expenditures relating to proved oil and gas properties are
          capitalized.  Delay and surface rentals are charged to expense in the
          year incurred.  Dry hole costs incurred on exploratory operations are
          expensed.  Dry hole costs associated with developing proved fields are
          capitalized.  Expenditures for additions, betterments, and renewals
          are capitalized.  Geological and geophysical costs are expensed when
          incurred.

          Upon sale or retirement of proved properties, the cost thereof and the
          accumulated depreciation or depletion are removed from the accounts
          and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.  Maintenance
          and repairs are charged to operating expenses.

          Provisions for depreciation and depletion of capitalized exploration
          and development costs are computed on the unit-of-production method
          based on estimated proved developed reserves of oil and gas on a
          property by property basis.  An additional impairment provision is
          recorded if the estimated fair market value is less than the carrying
          amount of the assets on a property by property basis.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)


          Unproved properties are assessed periodically to determine whether
          they are impaired.  When impairment occurs, an impairment loss is
          recognized.  When leases for unproved properties expire, any remaining
          cost is expensed.

          Depreciation on office equipment is provided using accelerated methods
          with estimated useful lives of five to seven years.

     (d)  Cash and cash equivalents
          -------------------------
          The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
          with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
          equivalents.

     (e)  Fair value of financial instruments
          -----------------------------------
          The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts
          receivable, accounts payable, bank debt, and accrued liabilities.
          The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
          accounts payable, bank debt, and accrued liabilities are considered
          to be representative of their fair market value, due to the short
          maturities of such instruments.

     (f)  Income (loss) per common share
          ------------------------------
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 Earnings
          Per Share, requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings
          per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator
          of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
          diluted EPS computation.  Basic EPS excludes dilution.  Diluted EPS
          reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or
          other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
          into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
          then shared in the earnings of the entity.

          Basic income (loss) per share of common stock is computed based on the
          weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
          Diluted EPS includes the potential conversion of stock options for the
          year ended September 30, 2000.  Stock options are not considered in
          diluted EPS for the year ended September 30, 1999 as the impact of the
          potential common shares (500,000 shares at September 30, 1999) would
          be to decrease loss per share.  Therefore, diluted loss per share for
          the year ended September 30, 1999 is equivalent to basic loss per
          share.

          No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes new rules
          for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
          components.  During fiscal 2000 and 1999,the Company did not have any

          interests in six producing oil and gas wells and an interest in
          undeveloped oil and gas leases for $1,935,250.  The Company borrowed
          $2,000,000 from a bank to pay for the acquisition.  The Company sold,
          at its cost, plus an expense reimbursement of 2.5%, 80% of the
          properties acquired in the acquisition to a limited partnership in
          which the Company is the general partner.  The Company contributed 1%
          of capital contributions to the partnership in exchange for a 5%
          interest in the income and expenses of the partnership.  The
          partnership was organized in early October, 1999 and paid for its
          share of the properties on October 12, 1999.  A portion of the
          proceeds received were used to reduce bank debt by $1,548,000 on
          October 12, 1999.

(3)  Risk Considerations
     -------------------
          The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to

          resources, changing oil and gas prices, activities of larger
          competitors, and dependence on key personnel.

(4)  Notes Payable

          with interest at 8.5% on August 11, 1999 when the Company obtained
          bank financing of $2,000,000.  At September 30, 1999, the bank loan
          had a balance due of $1,966,667 and bears interest at 8.75%.  In
          addition to the principal payment of $1,548,000 on October 12, 1999
          (see Note 2), monthly principal payments of $6,969 plus interest are
          due on the loan.  The loan is secured by the oil and gas properties of
          the Company and a portion of the loan is guaranteed by the major
          shareholder.

          The weighted average balance outstanding and the weighted average
          interest rate for 2000 and 1999 were as follows:
                                                          2000          1999

          In connection with the acquisition of an oil and gas property in
          September, 1994, the Company issued non-qualified options for 50,000
          shares of common stock at $ .12.  The options were exercised in

          No incentive stock options were exercised during the 2000 or 1999
          fiscal years.

          The Company has elected to account for grants of stock options under
          APB Opinion No. 25.  No compensation cost has been recognized on the
          statements of operations through September 30, 2000 for stock options
          granted.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
          "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", (SFAS No. 123) requires
          compensation expense to be determined based on the fair value, as
          defined, of options at the grant date.  Pro forma net earnings and pro
          forma earnings per share must be disclosed based on the additional
          compensation expense.  No options were granted during the 2000 fiscal
          year.  For the 1999 fiscal year, additional compensation expense under
          SFAS No. 123 would have increased the net loss from $64,486 to a pro
          forma net loss of $101,486.  The additional compensation expense for
          1999 did not change the net loss per share of $.01.  The pro forma
          adjustment is calculated using an estimated fair market value of each
          option on the date of grant based upon an expected life of 7 years,
          risk-free interest rate of 6.3%, expected dividend yield of 0% and
          volatility of 30%.

          dispute to avoid the cost of litigation.  The Company sold its
          interest in the gas property in 1995.  Unusual expenses for fiscal
          1999 also includes $5,178 of expenses associated with the ad valorem

          At September 30, 2000, after giving effect to ownership changes that
          occurred in the 1999 fiscal year, the Company has a net operating loss
          carryforward of approximately $360,000 which expires in varying
          amounts from September 30, 2003 through 2017.  The $360,000
          carryforward is subject to an annual limitation of approximately
          $23,500.  Differences between income tax and financial statement basis
          of assets consists of basis difference of oil and gas properties
          ($40,000) as a result of a purchase acquisition in a prior fiscal year
          and intangible drilling costs ($140,000) which are expensed for tax
          purposes.

          Benefit relating to the net operating loss carryforward has not been
          reflected as a net deferred tax asset because the limited carryover
          period combined with the history of losses of the Company, prior to
          the year ended September 30, 2000, make it more likely than not that
          the net operating losses will not be utilized by the Company prior to
          their expiration.

          Components of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets of the
          Company are comprised of the following at September 30, 2000:

               Gross deferred tax liabilities:

(9)  Lease
     -----
          The Company leases office space under a non-cancelable operating lease
          agreement.  This lease requires monthly rent of $1,138.  The lease
          also requires the Company to pay certain operating costs of the leased
          property.  Rent expense for all operating leases totaled $14,586 and
          $12,962 during 2000 and 1999, respectively.  Minimum lease payments
          under the lease are $14,837 in fiscal 2001.

(11)  Contingency and Unusual Expenses
      --------------------------------
          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 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.

          A 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 was approximately $196,000 on the due date of
          March 9, 1998.

          On February 6, 1998 the Company filed a request for Staff review with
          the FERC relative to their order.  The Company asked that the Company
          be responsible only for reimbursement of ad valorem taxes attributable
          to its working interest in the properties subject to the FERC order,
          that the Company not be required to reimburse taxes on behalf of
          royalty owners since such taxes are not recoverable from the royalty
          owners, and that the Company be allowed to service it's reimbursement
          obligation over a five year period due to the financial hardship which
          would result from one lump sum payment.

          The Company has received various correspondence from the FERC
          concerning its request for Staff Review, the latest dated October 31,
          2000.  In this letter the Company was advised that it was responsible
          only for reimbursement of it's working interest share of the total
          refund.  Additional information was requested prior to the Commission
          making a decision to relieve the Company of the obligation to
          reimburse taxes on behalf of the royalty owners.  The request for
          installment payments was not addressed.

          The Company has booked approximately $60,000 as a current liability to
          cover the Company's estimated share of the reimbursement claim.

Lawrence College and as a member of the Board of Governors of Lawrence Hospital.

     The Board of Directors of the Company does not have a standing nominating

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
-------------------------------------------------

     Under the U.S. securities laws, directors, certain executive officers and
persons holding more than ten percent of the Company's common stock must report
their initial ownership of the common stock and any changes in the ownership to
the SEC.  The SEC has designated specific due dates for those reports and the
Company must identify in this report those persons who did not file those
reports when due.  Based solely on the Company's review of copies of the reports
filed with the SEC and written representations of its directors and executive
officers, the Company believes that all persons subject to reporting filed
required reports on time in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000.
