                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
     the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.  Footnote disclosures normally included
     in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
     and regulations.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in
     the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
     December 31, 1995.

     In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements
     included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
     financial position of the Company as of September 30, 1996, the results of
     operations for the quarter and nine months then ended and the cash flows
     for the nine months then ended.

2.   Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
     average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods.

3.   The results of operations for the quarter and the nine months ended
     September 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the full year.

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


THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995


Revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, was $44,942,000 compared
with $35,756,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, and $52,204,000 for
the previous quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Revenue for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, increased $9,186,000 or 26% from the same period one year
ago and decreased $7,262,000 or 14% from the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  The
oil and gas services segment revenue of $25,057,000 increased 23% from last
year's third quarter primarily due to a 38% increase in the price of natural gas
and rising U.S. demand and reduced storage capacity.  This price increase caused
a significant increase in natural gas activity, particularly in the Gulf of
Mexico, the area where most of our business is centered.  The average U.S. rig
count has increased 8% from September 30, 1995. The oil and gas services segment
revenue increased 6% from the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  The boat
manufacturing segment revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, of
$16,961,000 increased 33% from last year's third quarter of $12,805,000 as the
result of growth in the boating industry overall, in addition to an increase in
Chaparral's market share.  In particular, the Sunesta, Chaparral's deck boat
line, has continued to surpass sales expectations.  The boat manufacturing
segment revenue decreased 34% from the quarter ended June 30, 1996, as a result
of normal seasonal decline.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, was $2,813,000 or 19 cents
per share versus net income of $2,262,000 or 15 cents per share for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995, and net income of $3,161,000 or 22 cents per share for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in earnings from the same period
one year ago was due to the revenue increase and improved profit margins for
both the oil and gas services and the boat manufacturing segments.

                                 ITEM 2.  CONT'D


NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, increased 20% to
$146,863,000 compared to $122,552,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995.  An increase of 21% occurred in the oil and gas services segment and an
18% increase occurred in the boat manufacturing segment.  The last nine months
have seen an upturn in the oil and gas industry as a whole.  In particular,
natural gas prices have stabilized to the extent that investors, drillers, and
exploration companies have maintained a higher level of activity than in
previous years.  Rising U.S. demand and reduced storage capacity has allowed
natural gas prices and the average U.S. rig count to increase.  Growth in the
overall boating industry combined with an increase in Chaparral's market share
caused the revenue increase in the boat manufacturing segment for the first nine
months of 1996.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, was $9,424,000 or 65
cents per share compared to net income of $7,435,000 or 51 cents per share for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The 27% increase was due to the
revenue increases and improved margins for both the oil and gas services and the
boat manufacturing segments.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's current ratio remained strong as of September 30, 1996, with
current assets of $67,572,000 exceeding current liabilities of $29,916,000 by a
ratio of 2.3-to-1. This compares to a current ratio of 2.7-to-1 at December 31,
1995.

Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 1996 totaling $16,236,000
included approximately $15,196,000 spent on revenue equipment and vehicles in
the oil and gas services segment.  The remainder was spent on various purchases
for the other business segments. Funding for future capital requirements will be
provided from operations.
