Note    7     Interest of $534,000 and $184,000 was capitalized during the three
              months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. For the six
              months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, interest of $830,000 and
              $261,000 was capitalized, respectively.

Note    8     On December 17, 1997, the Company issued $125 million of unsecured
              senior subordinated notes (the "Notes"), which mature on December
              15, 2007. Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 8-5/8% per
              annum and is payable semi-annually on each June 15 and December
              15, commencing June 15, 1998. The Notes may be redeemed, in whole
              or in part, at a premium commencing after December 15, 2002. Up to
              35% of the Notes may be redeemed from proceeds of an equity
              offering at a premium at any time up to and including December 1,
              2000. The Notes are subordinated to all senior indebtedness, as
              defined in the subordinated debt indenture, including the
              Company's bank revolving credit facility.

              The Notes are guaranteed by substantially all U. S. operating
              subsidiaries of the Company (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). The
              guarantee obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors (which are all
              direct or indirect wholly owned U. S. subsidiaries of the Company)
              are full, unconditional and joint and several. The aggregate
              assets, liabilities, earnings, and equity of the Subsidiary
              Guarantors are substantially equivalent to the total assets,
              liabilities, earnings, and equity of Newpark Resources, Inc. and
              its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Separate financial
              statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not included in the
              accompanying financial statements because management of the
              Company

              has determined that the additional information provided by
              separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors would
              not be of material value to investors.

              As of June 30, 1998, the Company maintained a $90.0 million bank
              in the form of a revolving line of credit commitment. The is
              unsecured. It bears interest at either a specified prime rate or
              the LIBOR rate 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 June
              30, 2000. At June 30, 1998, $17.0 million of letters of credit
              were issued and outstanding and $32.7 million was advanced under
              the facility, leaving a net of $40.3 million available for cash
              advances under the line of credit.

              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 at June 30,
              1998.

Note    9     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.

              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 $1.0
              million at June 30, 1998. At June 30, 1998 the Company had
              outstanding guaranty obligations totaling $1.2 million in
              connection with facility closure obligations.

              In conjunction with the acquisition of the marine related E&P
              collection operations of Campbell Wells ("Campbell"), the Company
              acquired Disposeco, thereby assuming the obligations provided in
              the "NOW Disposal Agreement" between Disposeco and Campbell. The
              "NOW Disposal Agreement" provides that for each of the 25 years
              following the closing, Newpark will deliver to Campbell for
              disposal at its landfarms the lesser of one-third of the barrels
              from a defined market area or 1,850,000 barrels of E&P waste,
              subject to certain adjustments including carry forward provisions.
              As of June 30, 1998 the Company delivered approximately 1.2
              million barrels of E&P waste related to its most recent annual
              commitment. 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
              $10.2 million annually. In addition, the liability of Newpark
              under the agreement is reduced by certain prohibited revenues
              earned by Campbell or its affiliates.

              On July 24, 1998, U. S. Liquids (the owner of Campbell) initiated
              a demand for arbitration as provided for in the "NOW Disposal
              Agreement". The demand relates to a difference between 1,850,000
              barrels and the barrels of waste actually delivered by Newpark to
              the landfarms during the most recent annual period. During the
              period subject to the arbitration demand, directions received by
              Newpark from its customers rendered it commercially impossible for
              the Company to comply with the provisions of the agreement. The
              Company and U. S. Liquids are continuing discussions and
              negotiations intended to amicably resolve this matter. In the
              opinion of management, any liability in this matter will not have
              a material adverse affect on Newpark's consolidated financial
              statements.

Note    10    The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting 
              Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130")
              which provides guidance for the presentation and display of
              comprehensive income. Management believes this statement did not
              have a significant effect on the Company's financial statement
              presentation.

              During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
              Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures
              about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS
              131). SFAS 131 establishes standards for disclosure of operating
              segments, products, services, geographic areas and major
              customers. The Company is required to adopt this standard for its
              fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Management believes that the
              implementation of SFAS 131 will not have a material impact on the
              presentation of the Company's financial statements, but may
              require additional disclosure.

              In February 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
              Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about
              Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS 132"). SFAS 132
              revises the standards for disclosure of pension and other
              postretirement benefit plans by standardizing the disclosure
              requirements, requiring additional information on changes in the
              benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets, and
              eliminating certain disclosure requirements no longer considered
              to be useful. These new disclosure requirements are designed to
              improve the understandability of benefit disclosures for financial
              analysis. The Company is required to adopt this standard for
              fiscal 1999. Management believes that the implementation of SFAS
              132 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
              statements and disclosures.

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

         The following discussion of the Company's financial condition, results
of operations, liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction
with the accompanying "Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements" and "Notes
to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statement" as well as the Company's annual
report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

RECENT ACQUISITIONS

         During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company completed six
separate acquisitions in the drilling fluids industry and three acquisitions in
the solids control, processing and disposal industry. The consideration paid for
these acquisitions aggregated 2,128,134 shares of Newpark common stock and $8.7
million in cash. Six transactions were accounted for as purchases, which
resulted in an excess of purchase price over net assets acquired of $22.0
million. The other three acquisitions were accounted for as poolings of
interests effective as of January 1, 1998. Prior year financial statements have
not been restated because the financial information related to these entities
was not significant in relation to the financial reporting requirements of the
Company. These acquisitions provided the Company entry into the drilling fluids
markets in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, the Permian Basin
of West Texas and New Mexico, and the Anadarko Basin in Western Oklahoma. The
acquisitions also provided the Company entry into the onsite fluids processing
market, which is a key additional component of the Company's "Minimization
Management" ("MM") strategy.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

         The majority of the growth in revenue in the first half of 1998 as
compared to 1997 resulted from the continuing rapid development of the Company's
drilling fluids business. With the Company's increased participation in the
drilling fluids market, the Company began to introduce its MM approach to
meeting the needs of its customers. MM refers to the linking of drilling fluids
sales and engineering with on-site processing, solids control, and recycling,
with off-site recycling and disposal. The Company anticipates that it will
continue to make acquisitions that are strategic to the Company's core
operations and enhance its MM strategy.

         The objective of MM is to improve the productivity of the drilling
process, and minimize the cost to the operator. MM draws upon the proprietary
services historically offered by the Company, and combines them with new
capabilities developed in conjunction with its drilling fluids and processing
unit to achieve this goal. The engineering, selection and application of
drilling fluids to a particular geologic formation, the onsite processing and
recycling of those fluids and application of solids control methods to segregate
waste from the drilling fluids, and the availability and use of disposal methods
both onsite and offsite, are key elements of MM. Newpark has the internal
capability to provide these services as a coordinated product offering that can
reduce the customer's cost of drilling. Factors

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

that would encourage the use of MM by a customer include the opportunity of
improved drilling economics, increasing regulatory and compliance issues, and
the continuing trend toward downsizing of corporate staffs, which encourages the
outsourcing of many services.

         The Company is currently working on the following projects, which are
all complimentary to its core business activities:

         O    The Company has recently obtained exclusive rights to equipment
              which will provide the ability to recycle products from spent
              drilling fluids, which were previously treated as part of the E&P
              waste stream. Such recycling will also reduce the volume of E&P
              waste generated on a drill site. This equipment will give the
              Company access to new markets and is an important link in its MM
              process.

         O    Newpark has developed new and proprietary drilling fluids
              designed to avoid two major sources of environmental contamination
              typically created by conventional drilling fluids. Conventional
              drilling fluids may contain high concentrations of salt and oil,
              which have been identified as harmful to the environment. The
              Company is currently marketing two patented, proprietary products
              that avoid the use of these materials, thereby reducing the
              potential for damage to the environment.

         O    Through a 49% owned joint venture, the Company has begun limited
              production of a new composite molded mat. It is anticipated that,
              if the mats prove successful in field testing, these new mats will
              reduce trucking and handling cost, substantially eliminate mat
              repair cost and improve margins in the Company's mat rental
              business.

         O    Permits to operate  non-hazardous  industrial waste disposal wells
              on properties recently acquired for that purpose are in process in
              Louisiana and Texas and could be issued during the fourth quarter.
              Newpark expects to enter this new market during 1999.

         0    The Company has recently implemented a washwater recycling system
              to reduce the amount of waste created at its facilities in the
              cleaning of customers' vessels and containers, thereby reducing
              the customer's long term liability. This will reduce the volume of
              waste transferred to the Company's injection facilities by up to
              33% for disposal and reduce its operating costs.

OVERVIEW

         The Baker-Hughes Rotary Rig Count has historically been viewed as the
most significant single indicator of oil and gas drilling activity in the
domestic market. Newpark's primary market area includes the following rig count
measurement areas: (i) South Louisiana Land; (ii) Texas Railroad Commission

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

Districts 2 and 3; (iii) Louisiana and Texas Inland Waters; and (iv) Offshore
Gulf of Mexico. The rig count trend in Newpark's primary markets have tracked
these national trends as set forth in the table below:

         As of the week ended July 31, 1998, the U.S. rig count was 822 with 227
rigs, or 27.6%, within Newpark's primary market.

           The recent decline in rig activity is affecting the Company's revenue
and is expected to continue to affect future period revenues until oil prices
recover.

           The increase in the percentage of rigs during 1998 from 1997 in
Newpark's primary market as compared to the total domestic rig count, reflects
the importance of natural gas drilling relative to oil in that market. Natural
gas production accounts for the majority of activity in the Gulf Coast region.
Lower oil prices in the first and second quarter of 1998 slowed drilling in
markets more oriented toward oil, such as the Austin Chalk region, West Texas
and areas which produce primarily heavy oil, such as Canada and Venezuela.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On July 24, 1998, U. S. Liquids (the owner of Campbell) initiated a
demand for arbitration as provided for in the "Now Disposal Agreement". The
demand relates to a difference between 1,850,000 barrels and the barrels of
waste actually delivered by Newpark to the landfarms during the most recent
annual period. During the period subject to the arbitration demand, directions
received by Newpark from its customers rendered it commercially impossible for
the Company to comply with the provisions of the agreement. The Company and U.
S. Liquids are continuing discussions and negotiations intended to amicably
resolve this matter. In the opinion of management, any liability in this matter
will not have a material adverse affect on Newpark's consolidated financial
statements.

</TABLE>


THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 
JUNE 30, 1997

Revenues

         Total revenues increased to $67.0 million in 1998, from $48.0 million
in 1997, an increase of $19.1 million, or 39.7%. The major components of the
increase in revenues were a $13.3 million increase in drilling fluids sales, a
$4.2 million increase in mat services, and a $1.4 million increase in support
services.

         During 1998, the Company received 1.2 million barrels of E&P waste for
disposal, generating revenue of $14.8 million at an average price of $11.72 per
barrel. This compares to volume of 1.4 million barrels in the 1997 period, and
average pricing of $9.88 per barrel which generated revenue of $14.2 million.
Volume declined from 1.6 million barrels in the first quarter of 1998 due to
lower



                                       14
<PAGE>   15

drilling activity and as a result of the Company's waste minimization efforts to
reduce the volume of wash water created at transfer facilities in the vessel and
container cleaning process. E&P waste accounted for 96% and 93% of disposal
revenue in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         Drilling fluids sales increased $13.3 million or 113.6% as a result of
a series of purchase acquisitions made during 1997 and 1998, and the rapid
expansion of the businesses acquired.

         The increase of $4.2 million or 39.8% in mat rental revenue reflects
the year-over-year improvement in transition zone drilling activity, increased
average pricing for Newpark's mat inventory related to a change in mix, the
completion of a purchase acquisition in 1997, and an increase in non-oilfield
wetlands activity. Mat rental revenues include revenues earned on the initial
mat installation, which typically includes the first 60 days of rental, and
rerentals earned beyond the initial installation term. In 1998, the initial
rentals accounted for approximately 52.9% of mat service revenues with rerentals
accounting for approximately 47.1%. In 1997, initial rentals accounted for 67.6%
of the total mat service revenues and rerentals accounted for approximately
32.4%.

         Support services revenue grew from $10.4 million in 1997 to $11.8
million in 1998, which represents an increase of $1.4 million, or 13.5%. This
increase in revenues is directly attributable to increased drilling activity in
Newpark's market in 1998 as compared to 1997 and includes revenue from
installation of production equipment and facilities as well as end-of-drilling
cleanup and site restoration at drilling locations. Remediation of old sites and
facilities activity was immaterial.

Operating Costs and Expenses

         Newpark's gross margin on sales increased from 40.3% in 1997 to 46.1%
in the 1998 quarter. This increase resulted primarily from improved gross
margins in its drilling fluids business. Much of the improvement was offset by
increases in operating costs as the Company built the staff and infrastructure
necessary to support a larger scale of operations; however, operating income
increased from 29.1% in 1997 to 30.2% in 1998 of revenues.

General and Administrative Expenses

         General and administrative expenses increased by $202,000 from 1997 to
1998 due to expansion of the Company's operations, but decreased slightly as a
percentage of revenues.

Equity Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliate

         At the end of 1997 Newpark entered into a joint venture to provide
drilling fluids products and services to Mexico. The Company's share of profits
for the second quarter of 1998 were $715,000.


                                       15
<PAGE>   16

Operating Income

         Operating income of $20.2 million or 30.2% in the 1998 period increased
$6.2 million, or 44.9%, compared to $14.0 million or 29.1% of revenue in the
1997 period. Factors contributing to the increase include increased contribution
from rapid growth in drilling fluids revenue, increased profitability from
disposal operations, and increased utilization and higher pricing realized in
mat services.

Interest Income and Interest Expense

         Net interest expense was $2.3 million in 1998 as compared to $939,000
in 1997. The increase in net interest cost is due to an increase of $89.1
million in average outstanding borrowings and an increase in average effective
interest rates from 7.23% in 1997 to 8.69% in 1998. The increase in average
outstanding borrowings and average effective interest rates is due to the
issuance of $125 million of ten year, 8-5/8% senior subordinated notes in
December 1997 and additional borrowings under the Credit Facility. The proceeds
from the senior subordinated notes and the Credit Facility were used to fund
acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital for growth.

Provision for Income Taxes

         For the 1998 and 1997 periods, Newpark recorded income tax provisions
of $6.6 million and $4.8 million, equal to 37.0% and 36.5% of pre-tax income,
respectively.


SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 
JUNE 30, 1997

Revenues

         Total revenues increased to $139.4 million in 1998, from $90.9 million
in 1997, an increase of $48.6 million, or 53.4%. The major components of the
increase in revenue were a $4.4 million increase in disposal revenues, a $31.7
million increase in drilling fluids sales, a $6.0 million increase in mat
services revenue, and a $6.5 million increase in support services.

         The increase in waste disposal revenues resulted primarily from higher
pricing. The average price per barrel increased to $11.28 from $9.69. E&P waste
revenues, which constitute 97% of 1998 waste disposal revenues and 94% of 1997
waste disposal revenues, increased to $32.4 million in 1998, compared to $27.3
million in 1997. The volume of E&P waste received was approximately 2.8 million
barrels in both periods.

         Drilling fluids sales increased $31.7 million or 170.0% as a result of
a series of acquisitions made during 1997 and 1998, and the rapid expansion of
the businesses acquired.

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

         The increase of $6.0 million or 25.3% in mat rental revenue reflects an
increase in non-oilfield wetlands pipeline activity, the year-over-year
improvement in transition zone drilling activity, increased pricing for
Newpark's mat inventory, and the completion of a purchase acquisition in 1997.
In 1998, initial rentals accounted for approximately 57.5% of mat service
revenues with rerentals accounting for approximately 42.5%. In 1997, initial
rentals accounted for 54.6% of the total mat service revenues and rerentals
accounted for approximately 45.4%.

         Support services revenue grew from $19.2 million in 1997 to $25.7
million in 1998, which represents an increase of $6.5 million, or 33.5%. This
increase in revenues is directly attributable to increased installation of
production equipment and facilities as well as end-of-drilling cleanup and site
restoration at drilling locations resulting from increased drilling activity in
Newpark's market in 1998 as compared to 1997. Remediation of old sites and
facilities activity was immaterial.

Operating Costs and Expenses

         Newpark's gross margin on sales increased from 39.4% in 1997 to 44.5%
in 1998. This increase resulted primarily from improved gross margins in its
drilling fluids business. Much of the improvement was offset by increases in
operating costs as the Company built the staff and infrastructure necessary to
support a larger scale of operations; however, operating income increased from
28.5% in 1997 to 29.6% in 1998.

General and Administrative Expenses

         General and administrative expenses increased by $305,000 from 1997 to
1998 due to rapid expansion of the Company's operations, but decreased as a
percentage of revenues to 1.3% in 1998 from 1.7% in 1997.

Operating Income

         Operating income of $41.3 million in the 1998 period increased $15.4
million, or 59.3%, compared to $25.9 million in the 1997 period. Factors
contributing to the increase include increased contribution from rapid growth in
drilling fluids revenue, increased profitability from disposal operations, and
increased utilization and higher pricing for Newpark's mat inventory.

Interest Income and Interest Expense

         Net interest expense was $4.5 million in 1998 as compared to $1.8
million in 1997. The increase in net interest cost is due to an increase in
average outstanding borrowings and an increase in average effective interest
rates from 6.93% in 1997 to 8.38% in 1998. The increase in average outstanding
borrowings and average effective interest rates is due to the issuance of $125
million of ten year, 8-5/8% senior subordinated notes in December 1997 and
additional borrowings under the Credit Facility. The proceeds from the senior
subordinated notes and the Credit Facility were used to fund acquisitions,
capital expenditures and working capital for growth.

Provision for Income Taxes

         For the 1998 and 1997 periods, Newpark recorded income tax provisions
of $13.4 million and $8.8 million, respectively, equal to 36.3% of pre-tax
income in each period.


NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130") which provides guidance for
the presentation and display of comprehensive income. Management believes this
statement did not have a significant effect on the financial statement
presentation.

         During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS 131). SFAS 131 establishes standards
for disclosure of operating segments, products, services, geographic areas and
major customers. The Company is required to adopt this standard for its fiscal
year ended December 31, 1998. Management believes that the implementation of
SFAS 131 will not have a material impact on the presentation of the Company's
financial statements, but may require additional disclosure.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's working capital position increased by $8.1 million during
the six months ended June 30, 1998. Key working capital data is provided below:

<TABLE>

                                           June 30, 1998   December 31, 1997
                                           -------------   -----------------
<S>                                        <C>              <C>       
              Working Capital (000's)       $   98,295       $   90,212
              Current Ratio                       3.79             3.94
</TABLE>

         The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to the
overall increase in the Company's business activity.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1998, Newpark's working capital needs
were met primarily from operating cash flow, net proceeds from the subordinated
debt issue and borrowings under the Company's Credit Facility. Cash on hand,
along with cash generated from operations of $23.0 million, was supplemented by
$31.9 million from financing activities to provide for a total of $63.1 million
used in investing activities, including the purchase of drilling fluids and
barite grinding assets, the purchase of mats and supporting equipment, the
expansion of waste disposal facilities and the development of future waste
disposal sites and facilities.

         Newpark maintains a $90.0 million revolving bank Credit Facility, which
matures on June 30, 2000, including up to $20.0 million in standby letters of
credit. At June 30, 1998, $17.0 million in letters of credit were issued and
outstanding under the Credit Facility, and $32.7 million was outstanding under
the revolving facility. Advances under the Credit Facility bear interest at
either (i) a specified prime rate or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus a spread which is
determined quarterly based 

                                       18
<PAGE>   19

on the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility requires that Newpark maintain
certain specified financial ratios and comply with other usual and customary
requirements. Newpark was in compliance with all requirements of the Credit
Facility at June 30, 1998.

         For 1998, Newpark anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $60
to $70 million, including: (i) funds to acquire and develop additional injection
well sites; (ii) funds to expand drilling fluids operations, including the
purchase of equipment associated with fluids processing and recycling and
infrastructure expansions; (iii) funds to expand barite milling capacity; (iv)
funds for the purchase of additional mats, including funds for Newpark's
synthetic mat system; (v) funds for the upgrade and purchase of equipment; and
(vi) funds for expansion into industrial waste disposal markets.

         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 working capital and 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. Newpark believes that its current source of
capital, coupled with internally generated funds, will be sufficient to support
its working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements for the
foreseeable future. Except as described in the preceding paragraph, Newpark is
not aware of any material expenditures, significant balloon payments or other
payments on long term obligations or any other demands or commitments, including
off-balance sheet items, to be incurred beyond the next 12 months.

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

YEAR 2000

         In accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff
Legal Bulletin No. 5, the Company has assessed both the cost of addressing and
the costs or consequences of incomplete or untimely resolution of the Year 2000
issue. Most of the Company's major systems have already been updated in the
normal course of business or replaced with applications that are year 2000
compliant. Accordingly, the Company has determined that its estimated costs
related to the year 2000 issue are not anticipated to be material to the
Company's business, operations or financial condition.

         In addition, the Company is in the process of initiating formal
communications with its significant suppliers and major customers to determine
the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to those third parties failure to
remedy their own Year 2000 issues. The Company can give no assurance that the
systems of other companies on which the Company's systems rely will be converted
on time or that a failure to convert by another company would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

PART II


ITEM 2.           CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, Newpark completed five
acquisition transactions involving the issuance of its Common Stock without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). In these
transactions, Newpark Common Stock was issued in exchange for all of the common
stock of the acquired entity or net assets of the entity. All of the
transactions involving the acquisition of the outstanding shares of the acquired
entity were accomplished through the merger of that entity into one of Newpark's
wholly-owned subsidiaries. Below is a schedule of the pertinent information for
each transaction:

</TABLE>

         None of the foregoing transactions was accomplished by any form of
general solicitation or general advertisement, and Newpark provided each
acquiring party with the information required by Rule 502(b) of Regulation D
under the Act. Each acquiring party also agreed that the shares of Common Stock
acquired will be held for investment purposes and that the representative
certificates may bear restrictive legends indicating that the securities may not
be freely transferred. In each transaction, Newpark had reasonable grounds to
believe that each purchaser was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the investment and acquired the Common Stock for investment purposes only.
Accordingly, Newpark believes that the foregoing transactions were exempt from
the registration provisions of the Act pursuant to the exemption provided by
Rule 506 of Regulation D, by reason of such transaction being by an issuer and
not involving any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Act.
