Cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of $147,000
has been included in accumulated deficit.

Earnings (loss) per share is based on earnings (loss) applicable
to common shareholders and is calculated using the weighted-
average number of common and equivalent shares outstanding
including stock options and warrants which have a dilutive
effect.  At June 30, 1995 and 1994 outstanding options and
warrants had no dilutive effect.  Reacquired shares are excluded
from the weighted average calculation from the date of their
acquisition.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

In June 1995 the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital
stock of R.J. Dixon, Inc. (DBA Spinco) for approximately
$1,000,000, consisting of a $490,000 note and 94,884 shares of
ICO common stock.  R.J. Dixon, Inc. ("R.J. Dixon") provides
inspection and reclamation services for drill pipe and other oil
country tubular goods in the Gulf Coast area.  The Company
accounted for the acquisition under the purchase method of
accounting.  For the nine months ended April 30, 1995 (unaudited)
R.J. Dixon generated approximately $741,000 in revenues and net
income of $207,000.

For the nine months ended June 30, 1995 cash provided by
operating activities increased 

<PAGE>

$5,614,000 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1994.  The
increase resulted primarily from net income of $3,830,000 for the
nine months ended June 30, 1995 compared to net income of $65,000
for the nine months ended June 30, 1994.  Changes in the
Company's levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable due
to timing of cash receipts and cash disbursements for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995 also affected the net increase in cash
provided by operating activities.  The Company had working
capital of $37,640,000 at June 30, 1995.  

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment totaled $1,502,000
during the quarter and related to the manufacture of inspection
equipment currently under contract for sale or lease, major
repairs and enhancement of existing facilities.  For the
remainder of fiscal 1995 capital expenditures are planned to be
approximately $1,500,000 and are expected to be financed through
cash generated from operations and existing cash.  

Results of Operations:

For the nine months ended June 30, 1995 the Company had revenues
of $63,055,000 compared to $55,672,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1994, an increase of 13.3%.  Net income for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995 was $3,830,000 compared to net income
of $65,000 for the same period last year.  Net income for the
nine months ended June 30, 1994 included an extraordinary loss of
$1,371,000 resulting from the retirement of indebtedness recorded
on the consolidated balance sheet at a discounted value.

For the three months ended June 30, 1995 the Company had net
income of $1,451,000 compared to net income of $518,000 during
the corresponding period of the prior year.  The Company's
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
and non-recurring charges for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
were $2,691,000 compared to $1,681,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1994, an increase of 60.1%.

Revenues increased 14.3% in the three months ended June 30, 1995
as compared to the same period last year from $19,217,000 to
$21,964,000 despite a drop of 7.8% in the average rig count in
the 1995 quarter compared to the 1994 quarter.

Revenues from exploration services increased $1,021,000 or 15.3%
from the quarter ended June 30, 1994 to the same quarter in 1995. 
The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in mill
inspection services relating to additional contracts awarded to
the Company since the quarter ended June 30, 1994.

Revenues from corrosion control, which include internal coating
and lining services, increased $1,508,000 or 39.4% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995 when compared to the same quarter in
1994.  This increase was due to increased revenues in all of the
Company's coating facilities, particularly the Amelia, Louisiana
and Houston, Texas facilities.

Revenues from production services, which include used tubular and
sucker rod services, decreased $114,000 or 2.3% from the quarter
ended June 30, 1994 to the same quarter in 1995.  The decrease in
revenues was primarily the result of a shift toward the inclusion
of revenue for production services performed to recondition
tubulars and sucker rods in product sales revenue.

Product sales increased $687,000 or 23.6% from the quarter ended
June 30, 1994 to the same quarter in 1995.  Sales for the quarter
ended June 30, 1995 include revenues from B&W which was 

<PAGE>

acquired in October 1994.  Product sales revenue then also
includes revenue for service performed to recondition tubulars
and sucker rods which were purchased by the Company and
subsequently resold.

Revenues from other sales and services consist primarily of
revenues generated by Shearer related to reconditioning engines
utilized in connection with pumping units of oil wells.  

Cost of sales and services as a percentage of net revenues was
67.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 71.0%
for the three months ended June 30, 1994  reflecting improved
operating efficiencies due to the Company's cost control programs
and higher volumes.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased from $3,890,000  for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 to
$4,356,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 due to the
additional costs associated with the acquisitions during fiscal
1994 and 1995 and costs incurred during the quarter associated
with relocation and severance in connection with the Company's
ongoing cost control efforts.  Selling, general and
administrative costs as a percentage of net revenues were 19.8%
for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 compared to 20.2% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1994.  

Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $1,133,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 to $1,339,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1995.  The increase resulted from the property,
plant and equipment and goodwill related to the acquisitions of
Permian, Frontier, B&W, Kebco and R.J. Dixon as well as additions
of property, plant and equipment during the quarter.  Net
interest income was $200,000 during the quarter ended June 30,
1994 compared to $353,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. 
This increase resulted from increased yields on the Company's
investments in cash equivalents due to the rise in short-term
interest rates since the 1994 quarter.
