                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  The  information contained herein with respect to September 30, 1995 and
     the three and nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 September 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.

</TABLE>

     The non-cash charge in lieu of income taxes represents the amount of
     federal income taxes that the Company would pay absent the net operating
     loss carryforward that was generated before the Company effected a quasi-
     reorganization.  During the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the Company
     reversed the effect of the anticipated uses of the NOL's recognized as a
     deferred tax benefit of $377,000 during the first quarter of the year.
     Such charges or credits are offset by increases or decreases in additional
     paid-in capital.

     The Company made the following cash payments:  (i) interest of $314,000 and

                    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 746 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 compared with 783 for the three months ended September 30,
1994, a 4.7% decrease.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 the rig
count decreased by 6.6% to 709 compared with 759 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
$687,000 (8.0%) to $9,271,000 for the three month period ended September 30,
1995, from $8,584,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1994.  In
addition, the Company's nine month revenues increased by $2,061,000 (8.7%) to
$25,714,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, from $23,653,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  The increase in revenues is
principally the result of (i) certain large customers increasing their levels of
activity, (ii) an increase in the Company's customer base, and (iii) increases
in international business.

Cost of goods sold increased by $974,000 and $2,044,000 for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The decline in
gross profit margins is primarily due to unfavorable manufacturing cost
variances at the Barton Wood facility.  These unfavorable variances were created
by machine tool downtime.  The Company has implemented a major machine
refurbishment program to correct these problems.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $333,000 to
$1,992,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 compared with
$1,659,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 1994.  For the nine
month period ended September 30, 1995, SG&A increased by $556,000 to $5,832,000
from $5,276,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  SG&A expenses
have increased due to the opening of two additional domestic sales offices,
increase in international sales personnel, administrative head count increases
at Barton Wood, and one-time relocation and severance expenses.

The Company recorded operating losses of $265,000 and $362,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to an operating income of
$425,000 and $300,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994.
The operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 1995, is due to an
increase in cost of goods sold associated with unfavorable manufacturing cost
variances discussed above, combined with an increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses relating principally to increased sales coverage as
discussed above.

The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1995 resulted in a benefit of $79,000 and $93,000, respectively.  The provision
for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994 was
$113,000 and $124,000.

Financial Position


Working Capital decreased by $688,000 to $7,249,000 at September 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%).

The line of credit balance at September 30, 1995 was $2,825,000 compared with
$750,000 at December 31, 1994.  The increase in the line of credit was due to
increased inventory levels of approximately $1,606,000 and increases in account
receivables of approximately $1,672,000.

Pursuant to the Company's long-term debt agreements, approximately $394,000 in
principal payments are due over the next twelve months.

As of September 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 has 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 $250,000, 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.
