                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  The  information contained herein with respect to June 30, 1995 and the
     three and six month ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, has not been audited but
     was prepared in conformity with the accounting principles and policies
     described in the Company's annual report (Form 10-K) for the year ended
     December 31, 1994.  Included are all adjustments which, in the opinion of
     management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
     information for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. The
     results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
     expected for the year.

(2)  FASB No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" requires recording deferred tax
     liabilities or assets for the net tax effects of temporary differences
     between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
     reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
     Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets
     are as follows:

At June 30, 1995 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available to
offset future taxable income in the approximate amount of $23,329,000.  These
amounts expire between the years 2001 and 2003.  Special limitations exist under
the law which may restrict utilization of the regular tax and alternative
minimum tax net operating loss carryforwards.

The non-cash charges in lieu of income taxes represent the amount of income
taxes the Company would pay absent the net operating loss carryforward which was
generated before the Company effected a quasi-reorganization.  Such charges are
offset within shareholders' equity by an increase in additional paid-in capital.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Industry wide, the average active domestic rig count as reported by Baker Hughes
Incorporated, a leading industry observer, was 677 for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 compared with 734 for the three months ended June 30, 1994, a 7.8%
decrease.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995 the rig count decreased by
7.4% to 691 compared with 746 for the comparable period last year.  The average
active rig count is a clear indicator of the market in which the Company
operates based on prior years' experience.

In contrast to the change in the rig count, the Company's revenues increased by
$921,000 (12.1%) to $8,523,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1995,
from $7,602,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1994.  In addition,
the Company's six month revenues increased by $1,374,000 (9.1%) to $16,443,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1995, from $15,069,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1994.  The increase in revenues is principally the result of (i)
certain large customers increasing their levels of activity and (ii) an increase
in the Company's customer base.

Cost of goods sold increased by $700,000 and $1,070,000 for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Gross profit margins
remained at 23.4% for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 compared with
the three months ended June 30, 1994. Gross profit margins for the six month
period ended June 30, 1995 changed to 23.7% from 23.9% for the six months ended
June 30, 1994.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $155,000 to
$1,975,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 compared with
$1,820,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1994.  For the six month
period ended June 30, 1995, SG&A increased by $213,000 to $3,830,000 from
$3,617,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  SG&A expenses have increased
due to costs associated with additional employment in connection with the Barton
Wood operation, increases in our sales force, and severance costs associated
with administrative terminations.

The Company generated an operating loss of $76,000 and $97,000 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared with an operating loss of $137,000
and $125,000 for the same period last year.  This improvement in operating
profit is due to an increase in sales, partially offset by an increase in
general and administrative expenses.

The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
resulted in a benefit of $7,000 and $14,000, respectively.  The provision for
income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 was $0 and
$11,000.  The $11,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 represents a
provision for alternative minimum taxes.

Financial Position

Working Capital decreased by $638,000 to $7,299,000 at June 30, 1995 compared
with $7,937,000 at December 31, 1994.  The decrease in working capital was due
to the reclassification of the line of credit facility from a long term
obligation to a short term obligation maturing on February 26, 1996.  This was
the effect of a February 27, 1995 amendment which resulted in the bank lowering
its lending rate by one-half of one percent (.50%) from the bank's prime rate.

The line of credit balance at June 30, 1995 was $2,825,000 compared with
$750,000 at December 31, 1995.  The increase in the line of credit was primarily
due to increased inventory levels of approximately $1,145,000 and a reduction in
trade payables of $1,105,000.

Pursuant to the Company's long-term debt agreements, approximately $478,000 in
principal payments are due over the next twelve months.

As of June 30, 1995, the Company had $150,000 in letter of credit obligations
outstanding under the credit agreement and $2,825,000 in line of credit
borrowings, leaving a balance of $25,000 available for borrowings.  The Company
believes that it is currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit
agreement.    The Company is finalizing an agreement with its principal lender
which will provide an additional $1,000,000 line of credit under the same terms
and conditions of its present borrowing facility.  The additional line of credit
will be used to finance expansion and growth, as well as operational needs.  The
Company believes that amounts available under its current and additional line of
credit facility, combined with cash generated from operations, are adequate to
fund its operations for at least the next twelve months.

The Company currently anticipates incurring for the remainder of 1995, capital
expenditures of as much as $420,000, principally for manufacturing equipment,
facility improvements and additions and vehicle purchases for use in its day-to-
day operations.  The Company expects to fund these expenditures from cash
provided by operations, additional capital lease obligations and from the
Company's line of credit facility.
