                             (unaudited)


   NOTE 1.   BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             _____________________________

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
   have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation
   S-X, "Interim Financial Statements," and accordingly do not
   include all information and footnotes required under generally
   accepted accounting principles for complete financial
   statements.  The financial statements have been prepared in
   conformity with the accounting principles and practices as
   disclosed in the ICO, Inc. (the Company) Annual Report on Form
   10-K for the year ended September 30, 1994.  In the opinion of
   management, these interim financial statements contain all
   adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
   necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
   position as of March 31, 1995, the results of its operations
   for the three months and six months ended March 31, 1995 and
   1994 and the changes in its cash position for the six months
   ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.  Results of operations for the
   three month and six month periods ended March 31, 1995 are not
   necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
   the year ending September 30, 1995.  For additional
   information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
   and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
   10-K for the year ended September 30, 1994.


   NOTE 2.   EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
             __________________________________________________

   Cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of $182,000
   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 common equivalent shares
   outstanding including stock options and warrants which had a
   dilutive effect at March 31, 1994.  At March 31, 1995
   outstanding options and warrants had no dilutive effect. 
   Reacquired shares are excluded from the weighted average
   calculation from the date of their acquisition.

   In March 1995 the Company acquired substantially all of the
   operational assets (excluding real estate) of Kebco Pipe
   Services, Inc. ("Kebco"), which provides testing, inspecting
   and reconditioning services for oil country tubular goods in
   the West Texas area.  Kebco was acquired for a total
   consideration of approximately $616,000, excluding
   acquisitions costs, consisting of approximately $574,000 cash
   and a $42,000 note.  The Company accounted for this
   acquisition under the purchase method of accounting.  For the
   year ended June 30, 1994, (unaudited) Kebco generated revenues
   of approximately $730,000 and net income of approximately
   $37,000.

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

   Liquidity and Capital Resources:

   In March 1995 the Company acquired substantially all of the
   operational assets (excluding real estate) of Kebco Pipe
   Services, Inc. ("Kebco"), which provides testing, inspecting
   and reconditioning services on oil country tubular goods in
   the West Texas area.  Kebco was acquired for a total
   consideration of approximately $616,000, consisting of
   approximately $574,000 cash and a $42,000 note.  The Company
   accounted for this acquisition under the purchase method of
   accounting.  For the year ended June 30, 1994, (unaudited)
   Kebco generated revenues of approximately $730,000 and net
   income of approximately $37,000.

   For the six months ended March 31, 1995 cash provided by
   operating activities increased $6,084,000 compared to the six
   months ended March 31, 1994.  The increase resulted from net
   income of $2,379,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1995
   compared to a net loss of $453,000 for the six months ended
   March 31, 1994.  Changes in the Company's levels of accounts
   receivable and accounts payable due to timing of cash receipts
   and cash disbursements for the six months ended March 31, 1995
   also contributed to the increase in cash provided by operating
   activities.  The Company had working capital of $36,731,000 at
   March 31, 1995.  

   <PAGE>

   Expenditures for property, plant and equipment totaled
   $2,308,000 during the quarter.  Approximately $513,000 of the
   expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 related to
   the Company's new facility in Bakersfield, California.  This
   facility provides sucker rod inspection and reclamation,
   tubular goods inspection, mobile inspection and Wellhead
   Scanalog inspection.  The expenditures for the quarter
   included the purchase of the 30-acre facility, building
   improvements and equipment.  The remainder of the expenditures
   were incurred for major repairs and for enhancement of
   existing facilities and for manufacture of inspection
   equipment currently under contract for sale or lease.  For the
   remainder of fiscal 1995 capital expenditures are planned to
   be approximately $3,800,000 and are expected to be financed
   through cash generated from operations and existing cash. 
   Estimated capital expenditures have increased primarily due to
   additional contracts for mill inspection units obtained during
   the quarter.

   Results of Operations:

   For the six months ended March 31, 1995 the Company had
   revenues of $41,091,000 compared to $36,455,000 for the six
   months ended March 31, 1994, an increase of 12.7%.  Net income
   for the six months ended March 31, 1995 was $2,379,000
   compared to a net loss of $453,000 for the same period last
   year.  The net loss for the six months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 1995 the Company had net
   income of $1,174,000 compared to net income of $95,000 during
   the corresponding period of the prior year.  The Company's
   earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
   for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were $2,235,000 compared
   to $937,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1994, an increase
   of 138.5%.

   Revenues increased 19.4% in the three months ended March 31,
   1995 as compared to the same period last year from $17,464,000
   to $20,856,000.  Excluding the effect of acquisitions since
   January 1994, revenues increased 5.9% despite a drop of 7.9%
   in the average rig count in the 1995 quarter compared to the
   1994 quarter.

   Revenues from exploration services increased $719,000 or 10.3%
   from the quarter ended March 31, 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 March
   31, 1994.

   Revenues from production services, which include used tubular
   and sucker rod services, increased $567,000 or 13.1% from the
   quarter ended March 31, 1994 to the same quarter in 1995 due
   to the acquisitions of Shearer and Frontier.  

   Revenues from corrosion control, which include internal
   coating and lining services, increased $1,790,000 or 62.9% for
   the quarter ended March 31, 1995 when compared to the same
   quarter in 1994.  This increase was due to the acquisition of
   Permian in April 1994 and to increased revenues in the
   Company's Amelia, Louisiana coating facility.


   <PAGE>

   Product sales increased $218,000 or 7.6% from the quarter
   ended March 31, 1994 to the same quarter in 1995.  Sales for
   the quarter ended March 31, 1995 include revenues from B&W
   which was acquired in October 1994.

   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.  Shearer was acquired in February 1994.

   Cost of sales and services as a percentage of net revenues was
   67.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to
   74.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1994  reflecting
   improved operating efficiencies due to the Company's cost
   control programs and higher volumes.  Selling, general and
   administrative expenses increased from $3,506,000  for the
   quarter ended March 31, 1994 to $4,513,000 for the quarter
   ended March 31, 1995 due to the additional costs associated
   with the acquisitions during fiscal 1994 and non-recurring
   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 21.6% for the quarter ended
   March 31, 1995 compared to 20.1% for the quarter ended March
   31, 1994.  Excluding the non-recurring expenses related to
   relocation and severance of approximately $380,000, SG&A
   expenses as a percentage of net revenues were 19.8%. 

   Depreciation and amortization expense increased from
   $1,006,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 to $1,245,000
   for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The increase resulted
   from the property, plant and equipment and goodwill related to
   the acquisitions of Shearer, Permian, Frontier, B&W and Kebco
   as well as additions of property, plant and equipment during
   the quarter.  Net interest income was $164,000 during the
   quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared to $332,000 for the
   quarter ended March 31, 1995.  This increase resulted from the
   retirement of indebtedness in the quarter ended March 31, 1994
   and increased yields on the Company's investments in cash
   equivalents.
