 Note-1- Basis of Presentation
 -----------------------------

      The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, the consolidated
 statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended December
 31, 1996 and 1995 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-
 month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited. In the opinion of
 management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial
 statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal
 recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for
 a full year. It is suggested that the December 31, 1996 consolidated financial
 statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
 and notes included in the Company's Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year
 ended June 30, 1996.

    The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
 Standards No. 121. "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
 Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  In
 accordance with the standard, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its
 long-lived assets, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
 carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.  The adoption of the
 standard did not have any effect on the Company's consolidated financial
 position or results of operations.

    The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
 Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" in the first
 quarter of fiscal 1997.  As provided for in the standard, the Company continues

 Note- 2- Credit Agreement
 -------------------------

      The Company has a revolving credit facility with a domestic bank which
 allows for borrowings up to $1,200,000 based upon a formula comprised of 85% of
 eligible accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. At December 31, 1996
 there were no borrowings outstanding under this agreement.  The agreement will
 expire in July 1997, unless renewed and has an interest rate of 1 1/2% over the
 bank's prime rate.  The Company also pays an annual fee equal to 1% of the
 facility limit.

    The lender has a first priority security interest in all of the Company's
 assets and, under the agreement, the Company must, among other things, maintain
 no less than $930,000 of net worth. The Company is restricted from paying
 dividends during the term of the loan agreement.
 
 Note 3 - Income Taxes
 ---------------------

      At December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of
 approximately $15,800,000 which expire in the years 2001 through 2007.
 Management has recorded a net tax asset of $1,155,000 relating to the expected
 future benefits of the net operating loss carry-forwards and other deductible
 temporary differences expected to be realized during the carry-forward periods.

 Note 3 - Income Taxes (cont'd.)
 -------------------------------

    At December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996, current deferred tax assets of
 $505,000 and $445,000,  respectively, were included in the consolidated balance
 sheet under the caption "Prepaid expenses".

    For the quarter and six month period ended December 31, 1996, the Company
 offset its federal and state tax provisions by the use of previously reserved
 net operating loss carry-forwards.

    For the six months ended December 31, 1996, the Company reduced the
 valuation allowance for its deferred tax asset by $325,000 due primarily to the
 utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards.

                    ---------------------------------------
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 ---------------------------------------------


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     Over the past three years the Company has financed its operating cash
requirements from internally generated cash flow and borrowings from its
revolving credit agreement. Cash flow from operating activities before changes
in working capital items amounted to $843,000 for the six months ending December
31, 1996. Cash flow from operating activities after changes in working capital
items was $349,000. Cash flow after changes in working capital items was reduced
because of higher inventory levels required to support the increased level of
sales and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the
payments of June 30, 1996 outstanding balances.

     The Company has a credit facility that allows for maximum borrowings of
$1,200,000. There were no borrowings outstanding under this agreement at
December 31, 1996 or June 30, 1996. The agreement will expire in July 1997,
unless renewed.

     The Company believes that the liquidity provided by its revolving credit
facility, cash balances and trade credit will be adequate to meet its operating
cash needs over the next twelve months. Capital additions amounted to $70,000
for the first six months of fiscal 1997. Capital expenditures for fiscal 1997
are not expected to exceed $100,000 and will be funded from operating cash flow.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Total revenue increased 32% for the second quarter and 20% for the first
six months of fiscal 1997. The second quarter and six-month period reflect
significant growth in marine equipment sales which increased 33% and 19%,
respectively. The continued expansion of 3-D seismic surveys for exploration,
development and reservoir production monitoring has been a major factor in the
Company's sales growth.

     Service revenue from the Company's Wellseis(R) crew increased 33% for the
quarter and 9% for the six month period. The major source of service revenue for
the first six months of fiscal 1997 was generated from the Company's fracture
diagnostic service performed in conjunction with the Gas Research Institute.

     Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased from 54% to 51% for both
the three month and six month periods. The improvement in operating margins was
a result of higher production efficiency because of the higher level of product
sales and the effect of $70,000 of royalty income recorded in the second
quarter. The Company does not anticipate that royalty income will be a
significant source of future revenue.

     Cost of service decreased $10,000 for the quarter and $95,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1996 primarily due to lower consulting costs.

     Other operating costs (research and development and selling, general and
administrative costs), increased by $114,000 for the second quarter and $212,000
for the six month period. The higher level of costs in the second quarter were
caused by increased personnel costs commensurate with the overall growth in
business and additional travel costs associated with increased marketing
efforts. The increase for the first six months includes both of the factors that
affected the second quarter and also the costs incurred in the first quarter in
connection with the Company's listing of its common stock on the American Stock
Exchange.

Results of Operations (cont'd.)
- ---------------------          
     Interest income, net, increased for both periods presented due to higher
levels of interest income recorded from short-term investments.

     For the quarter and six month period ended December 31, 1996 no tax
provision was required since the Company offset its federal and state tax
provisions by the use of previously reserved net operating loss carry-forwards.

     The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed of" in the first quarter of 1997.  In accordance
with the standard, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived
assets, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of such assets may not be recoverable.  The adoption of the standard did
not have any effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.

     The Company adopted the provisions for Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997.  As provided for in the standard, the Company continues
to apply Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" and related interpretations for employee stock compensation
measurement and will disclose the required pro forma information in the 1997
Form 10-K.
