                            NEWPARK RESOURCES, INC.
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1        In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited
              consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
              necessary to present fairly the financial position of Newpark
              Resources, Inc. ("Newpark" or the "Company") as of March 31,
              1997, and the results of operations for the three month periods
              ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 and cash flows for the three month
              periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. All such adjustments are
              of a normal recurring nature. These interim financial statements
              should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 1996 audited
              financial statements and related notes filed on Form 10-K at
              December 31, 1996.

Note 2        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
              Newpark and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material
              intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Note 3        On February 28, 1997, Newpark issued 582,000 shares of its
              common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock
              of SBM Drilling Fluids Management, Inc. ("SBM"). SBM is a full
              service drilling fluids company serving the onshore and offshore
              Louisiana and Texas Gulf Coast drilling markets.

              This business combination has been accounted for as a pooling of
              interests and, accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
              for periods prior to the combination have been restated to
              include the accounts and results of operations of SBM. Operating
              results prior to the combination of the separate companies and
              the combined amounts presented in the consolidated financial
              statements are summarized below:

              Prior to the combination SBM's fiscal year end was October 31.
              Newpark's fiscal year is December 31. In applying pooling of
              interests accounting, the December 31, 1996 Newpark consolidated
              statement of income was combined with the SBM statement of income
              for the year ended October 31 , 1996. Retained earnings of the
              combined entities was adjusted by $626,000 as of the beginning
              of Newpark's fiscal 1997 year to include unaudited net losses of
              SBM for the period November 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996. During
              this period SBM's revenues were $3.0 million. Additionally, the
              consolidated statement of cash flows for the three month period
              ended March 31, 1997 was adjusted by $150,000 to reflect the net
              increase in cash of SBM for the two months ended December 31,
              1996. Amounts included in the accompanying statements of income
              for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 include
              the results of SBM for the three-months ended March 31, 1997 and
              January 31, 1996, respectively.

              Merger expenses of $316,000 include legal and accounting fees
              related to the business combination. Merger expenses of $200,000
              are included in operating costs and $116,000 are included in
              general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement
              of income.

Note 4        The results of operations  for the three month period ended March
              31, 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be 
              expected for the entire year.

Note 5        Primary and fully diluted income per common share is calculated
              by dividing net income by the average shares of common stock of
              the Company ("Common Stock") and Common Stock equivalents
              outstanding during the period. When dilutive, stock options are
              included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method.

Note 7        Inventories at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 consisted

Note 8        Interest of $77,000 and $218,000 was capitalized during the three
              months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Note 9        The Company maintains a $70.0 million bank credit facility with
              $30.0 million in the form of a revolving line of credit
              commitment and the remaining $40.0 million in the form of two
              term notes. The credit facility is secured by a pledge of
              substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable, inventory
              and property, plant and equipment. It bears interest at either a
              specified prime rate (8.50% at March 31, 1997) or the LIBOR rate
              (5.77% at March 31, 1997) plus a spread which is determined
              quarterly based upon the ratio of the Company's funded debt to
              cash flow. The line of credit requires monthly interest payments
              and matures on December 31, 1998. At March 31, 1997, $1.7 million
              of letters of credit were issued and outstanding, leaving a net
              of $28.3 million available for cash advances under the line of
              credit, against which $19.1 million had been borrowed. The term
              loans were used to refinance existing debt and require monthly
              interest installments and equal quarterly principal payments. The
              term loans bear interest at the Company's option of either a
              specified prime rate or LIBOR rate, plus a spread which is
              determined quarterly based upon the ratio of the Company's funded
              debt to cash flow. The credit facility requires that the Company
              maintain certain specified financial ratios and comply with other
              usual and customary requirements. The Company was in compliance
              with the agreement at March 31, 1997.

Note 10       Newpark and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation and other
              claims or assessments on matters arising in the normal course of
              business. In the opinion of management, any recovery or liability
              in these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
              Newpark's consolidated financial statements.

              During 1992, the State of Texas assessed additional sales taxes
              for the years 1988-1991. The Company has filed a petition for
              redetermination with the Comptroller of Public Accounts. The
              Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter will
              not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
              statements.

              In the normal course of business, in conjunction with its
              insurance programs, the Company has established letters of credit
              in favor of certain insurance companies in the amount of
              $1,650,000 at March 31, 1997. At March 31, 1997, the Company had
              outstanding guaranty obligations totaling $865,000 in connection
              with facility closure obligations.

              On August 29, 1996, the Company sold the land, buildings and
              certain equipment comprising substantially all of the assets of
              its former marine repair operation to the operator of the
              facility. These assets had previously been subject to an
              operating lease to the same party, and 





                                       8

              the purchase was made under the terms of a purchase option 
              granted in the original lease. The Company has guaranteed certain
              of the debt obligations of the operator, which is limited to a 
              maximum of $10 million and reduces proportionately with debt 
              repayments made by the operator.

              In conjunction with the acquisition of certain assets from
              Campbell Wells, Ltd. ("Campbell"), on August 12, 1996, the
              Company assumed the obligation to deliver to Campbell, for each
              of the next 25 years, for disposal at Campbell's landfarms the
              lesser of one-third of the barrels of NOW collected by Newpark
              from a defined market area or 1,850,000 barrels of NOW, subject
              to certain adjustments. The initial price per barrel to be paid
              by Newpark to Campbell is $5.50 per barrel and is subject to
              adjustment in future years. Prior to any adjustments, Newpark's
              obligation is $10,175,000 annually. In addition, the liability of
              Newpark under the agreement is reduced by certain revenues earned
              by Campbell or its affiliates.

Note 11       In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
              Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 128 "Earnings
              per Share" ("SFAS 128") which changes the method of calculating
              earnings per share (EPS). SFAS 128 requires the presentation of
              "basic" EPS and "diluted" EPS on the face of the statement of
              income. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income
              available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares
              of outstanding common stock. The calculation of diluted EPS is
              similar to basic EPS except that the denominator includes
              dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options and
              warrants. The statement is effective for financial statements for
              periods ending after December 31, 1997. The Company will adopt
              SFAS 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997, as early adoption is not
              permitted. Management believes that the adoption of this standard
              will not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

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

GENERAL

         During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company completed
three separate transactions. The first transaction involved the purchase of SBM
Drilling Fluids Management, Inc. (SBM), a full service drilling fluids company
which serves customers in the Louisiana and Texas Gulf Coast. This transaction
involved the issuance of 582,000 shares of Newpark Common Stock and was
accounted for as a pooling of interests. The direct costs related to this
transaction, which are included in current operations, amounted to $316,000. In
conjunction with the SBM acquisition, the Company instituted a liquid mud
recycling program. The second transaction involved the acquisition of
approximately 120 acres of land from a major oil company. While the land has
marginal oil and gas production on it, the Company plans to develop the
facility into an industrial waste disposal facility. The third transaction
involved the acquisition of an additional injection facility which has two
active injection wells located on 37 acres of land. The two land acquisitions
are adjacent to the Company's current Big Hill facility.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 have been restated
to give effect to the acquisition of SBM on a pooling of interests basis. The
following table represents revenue by product line, for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The product line data has been reclassified from
prior periods' presentation in order to more effectively distinguish the fluids
management services and mat rental services, in which the Company maintains
certain proprietary advantages, from its other service offerings.

THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED
MARCH 31, 1996

Revenues

         Total revenues increased to $39.8 million in the 1997 period from
$28.4 million in the 1996 period, an increase of $11.4 million or 40.1%. The
major components of the increase by product line included: (i) fluids
management service revenue which increased $8.2 million. Components of the
change included NOW revenue which increased $7.1 million and drilling fluids
sales and service revenue which increased $2.2 million. These increases were
partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in NORM revenue. The volume of NOW
waste processed increased to 1.4 million barrels in 1997 compared to 745,000
barrels in 1996. This expanded volume is primarily attributable to the
acquisition of a competitor's marine-related collection operations in August
1996 and some increase in the domestic market rig count. The volume increase
accounts for approximately 90% of the revenue change, with the remainder of the
increase resulting from an increase in the average disposal price in the 1997
quarter. The volume of NORM waste processed was 5,382 barrels compared to
37,183 barrels in 1996. The volume decreased as remediation operations in the
Gulf Coast were hampered by unusually heavy rainfall during the 1997 quarter;
(ii) mat rental revenue increased $5.4 million which is reflective of
improvements in the domestic market rig count and increased utilization of the
Company's mat inventory; (iii) integrated services revenue decreased $1.7
million primarily due to the unusually low level of NOW remediation activity as
discussed above.

Operating Income

         Operating income increased by $5.7 million or 93.6% to total $11.8
million in the 1997 period compared to $6.1 million in the 1996 period,
representing an improvement in operating margin to 29.7% in the 1997 period
compared to 21.5% in the 1996 period. The major components of the increase were
increased profitability from the NOW disposal operations and increased
utilization of the Company's mat inventory partially offset by lower NORM
revenue.

         General and administrative expenses remained relatively unchanged
decreasing as a proportion of revenue to 2.0% from 2.5% in the 1996 period, and
increasing in absolute amount by $91,000.


Interest Expense

         Interest expense was $824,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 as compared to $919,000 in 1996.

Provision for Income Taxes

         For the 1997 and 1996 periods, the Company recorded income tax
provisions of $4.0 million and $1.9 million equal to 36.5% and 36.4% of pre-tax
income.


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 128

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 128 which changes the method
of calculating earnings per share. The statement is effective for financial
statements for periods ending after December 31, 1997. The Company will adopt
SFAS 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997, as early adoption is not permitted.
Management believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a
significant impact on the financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's working capital position (as restated to give effect to
the acquisition of SBM on a pooling of interests basis) increased by $9.4
million during the three months ended March 31, 1997. Key working capital data
is provided below:

              Working Capital (000's)                    $  39,288                 $  29,881
              Current Ratio                                   2.22                      1.77
</TABLE>

         To date during 1997, the Company's working capital needs have been met
primarily from borrowings under the Company's credit facility and operating
cash flow. Total cash generated from operations of $5.9 million was
supplemented by $8.2 million from financing activities to provide for cash of
$13.0 million used in investing activities.

         During the three months ended March 31, 1997, Newpark amended its
credit agreement to provide for a total of $70 million of financing in the form
of two term loans totaling $40 million to be amortized over five years and a
$30 million revolving line of credit. These borrowings bear interest at either
a specified prime rate or LIBOR rate, plus a spread which is determined
quarterly based upon the ratio of Newpark's funded debt to cash flow. The
credit



                                      12
<PAGE>   13
agreement requires that Newpark maintain certain specified financial ratios and
comply with other usual and customary requirements. Newpark was in compliance
with all of the covenants in the credit agreement at March 31, 1997.

         The revolving line of credit matures December 31, 1998. At March 31,
1997, $1.7 million of letters of credit were issued and outstanding under the
line and an additional $19.1 million had been borrowed and was outstanding
thereunder.

         Potential sources of additional funds, if required by the Company,
would include additional borrowings and the sale of equity securities. The
Company presently has no commitments beyond its bank lines of credit by which
it could obtain additional funds for current operations; however, it regularly
evaluates potential borrowing arrangements which may be utilized to fund future
expansion plans.

       Inflation has not materially impacted the Company's revenues or income.
