(3)  Long-Term Debt

     On March 24, 1994, the Company sold pursuant to a private placement of $120
million 10.25% Senior Notes due 2004. In July 1994, substantially all of these
notes were exchanged for a substantially identical series of 10.25% Senior Notes
due 2004 with semi-annual interest payments in March and September. Both issues
of Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the terms of an Indenture dated as of
March 15, 1994. Certain subsidiaries of the Company have unconditionally
guaranteed the Company's obligations under the Senior Notes. See Note 6. The
placement of the $120 million Senior Notes provided the Company with $116
million in net proceeds that were used to prepay the $34 million 12.25% senior
notes due 1997 and to repay substantially all of the Company's outstanding
indebtedness other than the Senior Notes. The remaining funds were used for
working capital and other general purposes. In connection with the early
retirement, the Company incurred in the first quarter of 1994, an extraordinary
charge of approximately $3.8 million, net of taxes of approximately $1.9
million, or $.30 per share. The extraordinary charge represented the difference
between the reacquisition price and the net carrying value of the $34 million
senior notes, including unamortized debt issuance costs.

     Accrued interest payable, which is included in Other Accrued Liabilities in
the financial statements, was approximately $613,000 and $3.7 million at March
31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.

                                       5
(4)  Contingencies

     In August of 1994, the Company received a letter from the IRS proposing to
increase the gain recognized by the Company upon the dissolution in October 1990
of COLEVE with Columbia Gas and Development Corporation. In general, the IRS'
proposal seeks payment of a tax liability of approximately $14.1 million plus
accrued interest thereon, and includes $3.4 million of taxes relating to the
proposed disallowance of certain interest deductions taken by the Company with
respect to COLEVE that was the subject of a similar letter received by the
Company in the fourth quarter of 1993. The tax liability with respect to these
matters has been previously provided for as a deferred tax liability in the
Company's financial statements. The Company disagrees with the IRS' position and
is currently pursuing its rights of administrative review and appeal and intends
to vigorously contest this matter. Although the resolution of this matter could
affect the timing of the payment of previously accrued tax liabilities and
require the use of a portion of its available capital, the Company does not
believe that the results of the audit or the ultimate resolution of the IRS'
proposed adjustments will have a material impact on its results of operations or
financial position.

5)   Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications of prior period balances have been made to
conform such amounts to appropriate March 31, 1995 classifications.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
        CONDITION

GENERAL

     For the first quarter of 1995, income before extraordinary charge was
$1,631,000 or $0.13 per share on revenues of $72,660,000 compared to income
before extraordinary charge of $855,000 or $0.07 per share on revenues of
$55,118,000 for the first quarter of 1994.

     Operating income for the first quarter of 1995 was $6,654,000 as compared
to $3,422,000 for the first quarter of 1994. The significant increase in
operating income in the first quarter of 1995 was primarily the result of a
significant increase in revenues in the Company's artificial lift segment as
well as favorable comparisons within the international segment of the Company's
contract drilling business. These increases in revenues were realized
notwithstanding a decline in the U.S. and international rig count during the
first quarter and low natural gas prices.

     Interest expense for the first quarter of 1995 of $3,965,000 represents an
increase of $1,580,000 from the first quarter of 1994, reflecting the increased
cost associated with the Company's $120 million Senior Notes issued in March
1994. The net proceeds from the $120 million Senior Notes were used to prepay
the Company's $34 million Senior Notes due 1997 and other debt. The prepayment
resulted in an extraordinary charge, net of taxes, of $3,784,000 or $.30 per
share during the first quarter of 1994 and resulted in a net loss for the first
quarter of 1994 of $2,929,000 or $.23 per share.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 VERSUS
 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OILFIELD EQUIPMENT SEGMENT

     Revenues and gross profit for the oilfield equipment segment were $53.3
million and $14.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31,
1995 as compared to $42.5 million and $11.9 million, respectively, for the three
months ended March 31, 1994. The increase in revenues and gross profit was
primarily attributable to the contribution from the Fluid Packed Pump and sucker
rod businesses acquired from National Oilwell in August 1994. In addition, the
oilfield equipment segment benefited from cost reductions throughout the
distribution system of the Company's artificial lift division.

CONTRACT DRILLING SEGMENT

     Revenues and gross profit for the contract drilling segment were $19.4
million and $5.6 million, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 1995
as compared to $12.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the three
months ended March 31, 1994. The improved results in this segment reflect higher
international operating income versus last year as new contracts in Peru and
Nigeria did not take effect until the second quarter of 1994. The operations in
Nigeria and Peru contributed $7.0 million in revenues and $1.5 million in
operating income for the 1995 period.

     The Company's Nigerian rig was recently damaged during operations. The
Company is currently in the process of effecting repairs to this rig and the rig
is expected to be out of operation for approximately two months, pending the
completion of repairs. The Company currently expects that the loss of operating
income associated with its Nigerian operations together with repairs being
effected to its Nigerian rig will reduce Nigerian operating income for the
second quarter of 1995 by approximately $0.9 million less than the first
quarter 1995 operating income as a result of the damage to the rig.

     The Company is currently in the process of deploying four land rigs for
operations in Argentina. These rigs are expected to commence operations late in
the second quarter and contribute to operating income for the remainder of the
year.

GENERAL

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 11% to
$12.9 million for the period ended March 31, 1995 from $11.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1994. The increase in 1995 as compared to 1994 was
attributable to $17.5 million increase in revenues. As a percentage of revenues,
selling general and administrative expenses decreased 3% during the first
quarter of 1995, compared to the first quarter of 1994.

                                       13

     Results for the remainder of 1995 will continue to be affected by
prevailing industry conditions, both domestically and internationally. In this
regard, the Company expects that demand and pricing for the Company's tubular
products, artificial lift equipment and contract drilling services will be
dependent upon changes in the price levels for oil and natural gas. In addition,
the Company's contract for the Nigerian operation will be up for renewal in June
1995. The Company believes that the contract will be renewed; however, should
the contract not be renewed, the reduced revenues and operating income from this
operation will unfavorably impact the Company until such time a new contract is
procured.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1995, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $1.3 million compared to approximately $3.1 million at December
31, 1994. In addition, as of March 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $32.2
million in available borrowings under its various lines of credit. At March 31,
1995, approximately $22.0 million had been borrowed under the revolving lines of
credit and approximately $1.1 million was outstanding on letters of credit.
Borrowings under the Company's lines of credit are generally based on the
lender's determination of the collateral value of the current assets securing
the lines of credit. The lines of credit bear interest at floating rates ranging
from prime to prime plus 1.25% and are secured by substantially all of the
borrowing subsidiary's accounts receivable and inventory. The Company and its
subsidiaries are required to comply with various affirmative and negative
covenants relating to working capital, earnings and net worth. The facilities
also impose certain limitations on the use of funds by the Company and its
subsidiaries for acquisitions and capital expenditures, the incurrence of
additional indebtedness and other operational matters and certain prohibitions
on the declaration or payment of dividends by the Company.

     The Company also has outstanding $120 million in 10.25% Senior Notes due
2004. The Indenture relating to the Senior Notes contains various customary
affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit the ability
of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to (i) incur certain additional
indebtedness unless the Company's Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as
defined in the Indenture) is at least 2.0 to 1.0, (ii) make dividends,
distributions and certain other restricted payments, (iii) create certain liens,
(iv) engage in certain transactions with its affiliates, (v) engage in sale and
leaseback transactions, (vi) make certain asset dispositions and (vii) merge or
consolidate with, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another
person. The Indenture also limits the ability of the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries to issue preferred stock and creates restrictions on the ability of
certain of its subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other distributions.

     In August of 1994, the Company received a letter from the IRS proposing to
increase the gain recognized by the Company upon the dissolution in October 1990
of the Company's joint venture ("COLEVE") with Columbia Gas and Development
Corporation. In general, the IRS' proposal seeks payment of a tax liability of
approximately $14.1 million plus accrued interest thereon, and includes $3.4
million of previously accrued taxes relating to the proposed disallowance of
certain interest deductions taken by the Company with respect to COLEVE that was
the subject of a similar letter received by the Company in the fourth quarter of
1993. The tax liability with respect to these matters has been previously
provided for as a deferred tax liability in the Company's financial statements.
The Company disagrees with the IRS' position and is currently pursuing its
rights of administrative review and appeal and intends to vigorously contest
this matter. Although the resolution of these remaining issues could affect the
timing of the payment of previously accrued tax liabilities and require the use
of a portion of its available capital, the Company does not believe that the
results of the audit or the ultimate resolution of the IRS' proposed adjustments
will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

     Substantially all of the Company's customers are engaged in the petroleum
industry. This concentration of customers may impact the Company's overall
exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that customers may
be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not
generally require collateral in support of its trade receivables. The Company
maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and actual losses have
historically been within the Company's expectations. Foreign sales also present
various risks, including risks of war, civil disturbances and governmental
activities that may limit or disrupt markets, restrict the movement of funds or
result in the deprivation of contract rights or the taking of property without
fair consideration. Most of the Company's foreign sales, however, are to large
international companies or are secured by letter of credit or similar
arrangements.
                                       14

     The Company's current sources of capital are cash generated from operations
and borrowings under its working capital lines of credit. The Company believes
that current reserves of cash and short-term investments, access to existing
credit lines and internally generated cash from operations are sufficient to
finance the projected cash requirements of its current operations.

     The Company is continually evaluating new acquisitions with a focus on
proprietary technology and underutilized assets to enhance operations. Future
acquisitions may be funded through cash flow from operations and other
borrowings and financings.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

     Capital expenditures by the Company totaled approximately $7.1 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1995, compared to approximately $7.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1994. During the first three months of
1995, capital expenditures included approximately $3.1 million relating to the
acquisition of a land rig and equipment additions to the three existing land
rigs being deployed to Argentina. Capital expenditures for the comparative 1994
period included approximately $4.0 million relating to equipment additions to
the Company's rig in Nigeria.

     Capital expenditures are budgeted at approximately $11.0 million for the
remainder of 1995 which includes $4.7 million for Argentina.
