(1)  The  information contained herein with respect to June 30, 1996 and the
     three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, 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, 1995.  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, 1996 and 1995.
     The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to
     be expected for the year.

(2)  At June 30, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL
     Carryforwards") available to offset future taxable income in the
     approximate amount of $26,444,000.  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 NOL
     Carryforwards.

     The following is a summary of the provision for income taxes:

                    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 730 for the six months ended June
30, 1996, compared with 691 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The average
active rig count is an indicator of the market in which the Company operates.

The Company's revenues increased by $3,294,000 (38.6%) to $11,817,000 for the
three month period ended June 30, 1996, from $8,523,000 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1995.  In addition, the Company's six month revenues
increased by $5,202,000 (31.6%) to $21,645,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996, from $16,443,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in
revenues is principally the result of (i) higher drilling activity (ii) certain
large customers increasing their levels of activity (iii) an increase in the
Company's customer base, and (iv) higher international volume.

The gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $1,063,000
to $4,965,000, from $3,902,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The
gross profit percentage was 22.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1996
compared with 23.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1995.   This decrease is a
result of a 1996 accrual of $125,000 for the cost of not exercising an option to
purchase certain leased equipment at Barton Wood.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $679,000 to $4,509,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $3,830,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1995.  The primary reason for the increase was due to costs associated
with international marketing efforts and additional sales personnel.  The
selling, general and administrative expense, as a percentage of sales, was 20.8%
in the first six months of 1996 compared with 23.3% for the first six months of
1995.

The Company generated operating income of $447,000 and $456,000 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared with operating income of $23,000 and
$72,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in
operating profit was due to increased sales volume with moderate increases in
selling, general and administrative expenses.

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
resulted in a provision of $98,000 for 1996 and a benefit of $14,000 for 1995,
respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 6, 1996, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement pursuant to
which John Wood Group PLC purchased and the Company sold an aggregate of
7,384,616 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.8125 (13/16) per
share (or an aggregate consideration of $6,000,000.50).

On August 6, 1996, the loan facility has been amended to extend the line of
credit through June 30, 1997 and the total availability was increased to
$5,000,000.

Pursuant to the Company's long-term debt agreements, approximately $298,000 in
principal payments are due over the next twelve months.  The Company believes
its line of credit facility, combined with cash generated from operations, will
be adequate to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months.

The Company currently anticipates incurring capital expenditures of
approximately $1,300,000 through 1996, principally for machine tools, vehicles
and computer purchases.  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.
