Company owned 50% of Seahawk Services, Inc. ("Seahawk"), a company
which provided platform and production management services, offshore
medical support services, and temporary personnel to the oil and gas
industry.  On October 29, 1993, the Company further expanded its interest
in production management services when the Company exchanged its 50%
investment in Seahawk for a 27.5% interest in Grasso Corporation whose
wholly-owned subsidiary, Grasso Production Management, Inc. ("GPM"),
also was engaged in the production management service business.

On September 16, 1994, GPM became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company in a merger in which the Company acquired the remaining
72.5% interest in Grasso Corporation by issuing .49 of a share of the
Company's Common Stock for each share of Grasso Corporation Common
Stock owned.  In addition, holders of Grasso Corporation Class B warrants
received similar warrants for shares of the Company's Common Stock. 
The merger was treated as a purchase for accounting purposes which
resulted in goodwill of approximately $22.3 million after stepping up the
assets and liabilities of Grasso Corporation.  The goodwill is being
amortized over a 20 year period.

The following summarized income statement data reflects the impact the
GPM merger would have had on the Company's results of operations had
the transactions taken place on July 1, 1994:

NOTE C - Cathodic Protection Services

In October 1994, the Company acquired 75% of Cathodic Protection
Services Company ("CPS").  CPS manufactures, installs and maintains
cathodic protection systems to arrest corrosion in oil and gas drilling and
production facilities, pipelines, oil and gas well casings, hydrocarbon
processing plants, and other metal structures.  The acquisition was treated
as a purchase for accounting purposes which resulted in goodwill of
approximately $3.8 million.  The goodwill is being amortized over a 20
year period.  The pro forma effect of this acquisition as though it had been
acquired at the beginning of fiscal 1995 is not material to the operating
results of the Company.

NOTE D - Preferred Share Purchase Rights Plan

On February 9, 1996, the Company adopted a Preferred Share Purchase
Rights Plan designed to assure that all of the Company's stockholders
receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed takeover of
the Company and to guard against partial tender offers and other abusive
tactics to gain control without paying all stockholders a fair price.  Under
the rights plan, the Company declared a dividend of one Preferred Share
Purchase Right on each outstanding share of Common Stock.  Under
certain circumstances, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase one
one-hundredth of a share of  a new series of junior participating preferred
stock, at an exercise price of $50.  The Rights were distributed to
stockholders of record on February 29, 1996 and trade with the
Company's Common Stock until exercisable.  The Rights extend for ten
years and will expire on February 28, 2006.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
- ---------------------

Consolidated --

Consolidated operating revenues and expenses for the nine months ended
March  31, 1996 were $116.7 million and $106.1  million, respectively, a
$12.6 million and $16.4 million increase from the prior year.  The increase
is primarily attributable to the consolidation of GPM and CPS during the
prior year.   Consolidated operating revenues and expenses for the three
months ended March  31, 1996 were $37.8  million and $34.0  million,
respectively, a $1.4 million and $1.1 million increase compared to the prior
year.   Operating revenues for helicopter services and CPS increased $1.1
million and $2.9 million, respectively, offset by a decrease in GPM
revenues of $3.0 million.  Operating expenses for helicopter services and
CPS increased $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, offset by a
decrease in GPM expenses of $2.7 million.

Helicopter Services --

Total flight hours were approximately 25,200 and 79,200 for the three
months and nine months ended March 31, 1996, respectively, a 1% and
7% decrease compared to the same period in the prior year.  Operating
revenues from helicopter services were $22.0 million and $65.9 million for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996, respectively, a 5%
increase and 4% decrease compared to the same period in the prior year. 
The decrease in flight hours with the contrasting increase, or smaller
decrease, in operating revenues is primarily due to a change in the mix of
aircraft operating.  Operating expenses for helicopter services were $17.2
million and $53.1 million for the three months and nine months ended
March 31, 1996, an 8% and 4% increase compared to the same period in
the prior year.

Gulf of Mexico flight activity was down approximately 900 and 6,900
hours for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996,
respectively, a 4% and 10% decrease compared to the same period in the
prior year.  Operating revenues for the Gulf of Mexico were $18.7 million
and $55.6 million for the three months and nine months ended March 31,
1996, respectively, an increase of approximately $0.9 million and a
decrease of approximately $1.6 million, respectively, compared to the same
period in the prior year.   Although total Gulf of Mexico flight hours are
down from the prior year, operating revenues have begun to show
improvement as more flight time was logged by larger aircraft.  Operating
expenses for the Gulf of Mexico for the three months and nine months
ended March 31, 1996 were $15.6 million and $48.0 million, respectively,
a $1.5 million and $3.5 million increase compared to the same periods in
the prior year.  The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable
to increases in maintenance and repair expenditures.  Due to the reductions
in operating revenues and the increase in expenditures, gross margins from
Gulf of Mexico operations were below prior year.  Gross margins,
excluding asset dispositions, for the three months and nine months ended
March 31, 1996, were 16.4% and 13.7%, respectively.  Prior year gross
margins were 20.8% and 22.2%, respectively.

Alaska flight activity, revenues, and expenses for the three months and
nine months ended March 31, 1996 were down in comparison with the
same periods in the prior year as a result of decreased activity from
Alaska's major customer.  Alaska operating revenues for the three months
and nine months ended March 31, 1996 were $1.6 million and $5.1
million, respectively.  Alaska operating expenses for the same periods were
$1.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively.  Operating income from Alaska
was $0.5 million and $1.5 million, for the three months and nine months
ended March 31, 1996, respectively, relatively unchanged from the prior
year.

International activity has increased from the prior year.  International flight
hours for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996 were
approximately 3,900 hours and 12,100 hours, respectively, a 23% and 17%
increase from the prior year.   International operating revenues were $3.8
million and $11.2 million for the three months and nine months ended
March 31, 1996.  International operating expenses for the same periods
were $2.5 million and $7.5 million, respectively.  International operating
income was $1.3 million and $3.6 million, for the three months and nine
months ended March 31, 1996, respectively, a $0.4 million increase from
the prior year.

Production Management Services --

Operating revenues from GPM were approximately $7.4 million and $24.0
million for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996,
respectively.  Prior year operating revenues were $10.4 million and $23.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and for the period
from consolidation  (September 16, 1994) to March 31, 1995, respectively. 
The decrease in operating revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1996 compared to the prior year relates to reductions in activity levels.  
Operating expenses from GPM were approximately $7.7 million and $24.1
million for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996,
respectively.  Prior year operating expenses were $10.4 million and $23.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and for the period
from consolidation (September 16, 1994) to March 31, 1995, respectively. 
GPM gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was a loss
of $0.3 million.  Management has implemented several cost containment
measures which should have a positive impact on GPM's future
performance.

Cathodic Protection Services --

Operating revenues from CPS were approximately $9.2 million and $29.9
million for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1996,
respectively.  Prior year operating revenues were $6.3 million and $15.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and for the period
from consolidation to March 31, 1995, respectively.  The increase in
operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared
to the prior year relates primarily to increased sales effort and increased
prices in certain raw material sold.  Operating expenses from CPS were
approximately $9.2 million and $29.5 million for the three months and
nine months ended March 31, 1996, respectively.  Prior year operating
expenses were $7.3 million and $16.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and for the period from consolidation to March 31, 1995,
respectively.  CPS gross margins for the three months and nine months
ended March 31, 1996 were break-even and $0.4 million, respectively.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 
- -------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents (including marketable securities) were $74.2 
million as of March  31, 1996, a $6.2  million increase from fiscal year
end 1995.  Total debt was $7.8 million as of March  31, 1996.  The
increase in current maturities of long-term debt is due to the CPS revolving
credit facility expiring in less than 12 months.  CPS Management expects
to renew this credit facility with similar terms before its expiration.

As of March  31, 1996, the Company had $10 million of credit available
under an unsecured working capital line of credit from a bank. 
Management believes that normal operations will provide sufficient
working capital and cash flow to meet debt service for the foreseeable
future.

On February 8, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized management of the
Company to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock when warranted by market conditions.

On March 27, 1996, the Company announced that it entered into a letter
of intent to purchase up to fifty percent of the capital stock of Bristow
Helicopters Group Limited ("Bristow").  The seller of the Bristow capital
stock is a syndicate of investors led by Morgan Grenfell Development
Capital Limited of London.  Completion of the transaction is conditional
upon the satisfaction of several conditions, including the execution of a
definitive agreement, completion of a due diligence investigation by the
Company and various regulatory approvals.

The effective income tax rates from continuing operations were 29% for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and is based on the
Company's projected effective tax rate for the fiscal year then ended.

The Company has received notices  from the United States Environmental
Protection Agency that it is one of approximately 160 potentially
responsible parties ("PRP") at one Superfund site in Texas, one of over
300 PRPs at two sites in Louisiana, and a PRP at a site in Rhode Island. 
The Company believes, based on presently available information, that its
potential liability for clean-up and other response costs in connection with
these sites is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business or financial condition.
