              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                        
(1)  The  information contained herein with respect to June 30, 1997 and the
     three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, 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, 1996.  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, 1997 and
     June 30, 1996.  The results of interim periods are not necessarily
     indicative of results to be expected for the year.

 (2) Supplemental Cash Flow Information:

     In connection with the Barton Wood acquisition in late 1993, the Company
     leased, and has an option to purchase certain equipment from the Barton
     lenders ("Lessors") at any time during the term of the lease, which extends
     through February, 1998. The Company exercised a portion of this purchase
     option in February 1997 for $800,000. This purchase was partially financed
     with the issuance of a $705,000 note payable to the seller.

 (3) Acquisition of Seaboard:

     On September 27, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and
     outstanding share capital of Seaboard Lloyd Limited ("Seaboard"), a private
     company incorporated in Scotland under the Companies Acts of the United
     Kingdom in a privately negotiated transaction.

     The Company paid a purchase price of $1,580,000 cash for the issued share
     capital of Seaboard. The source of the funds for the purchase was
     approximately $1,080,000 in cash on hand and $500,000 borrowed under the
     Company's existing bank credit facility.

     The operating results of Seaboard are included in operations from the date
     of acquisition. The following represents the pro-forma results of
     operations as if the acquisition of Seaboard had occurred on January 1,
     1996 (in thousands, except per share data):

  (4) Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

      In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
      "Earnings per Share", was issued. This statement, which is required to be
      adopted in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, established standards for
      computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to
      entities with publicly held common stock. This statement simplifies the
      standards for computing EPS under existing accounting principles and makes
      it more comparable to international accounting standards. This statement
      requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. Management
      believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a significant
      impact on the financial statements.

  (5) The Company negotiated a new domestic $10,000,000 line of credit with its
      bank in June, 1997. The line has substantially the same terms as the
      Company's previous line of credit and expires in June, 1998.

  (6) Subsequent Event:

      On July 14, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
      capital stock of Church Oil Tools, Inc. ("Church").

      Church is a Houston, Texas based manufacturer serving the drilling
      equipment market. Church sells blow out preventers, high pressure valves
      and specialized engineering services. Its customers include drilling
      contractors, rental tool companies and other related oilfield service
      companies. The Company plans to continue to operate Church in
      substantially the same manner as it was operated prior to the acquisition,
      and the two principal stockholders of Church entered into employment
      agreements with the Company in connection with the transaction. Church's
      business will be conducted through a new business unit of the Company to
      be called Wood Group Drilling Products.

      In connection with the transaction, the Company paid the Church
      stockholders a purchase price consisting of $1,000,000 borrowed under the
      Company's existing domestic credit facility and $4,000,000 in promissory
      notes bearing interest at 8% per annum until maturity in July 2001. In
      addition, the Company agreed to pay the stockholders up to an additional
      $1,000,000 in the event that Church's average earnings in 1999 or 2000
      exceeded certain thresholds. The Company intends to account for the
      transaction as a purchase.

                    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 up 22.3% to 893 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, compared with 730 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
The average active rig count is an important indicator of activity levels in the
market in which the Company operates.

The Company's revenues increased by $5,704,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1997 from $11,817,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  In
addition, the Company's six month revenues increased by $12,410,000 (57.3%) to
$34,055,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, from $21,645,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in revenues is principally due to
increased activity with existing customers as a result of higher drilling
activity and increased international sales volume, including sales of Seaboard.

The gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased by
$1,091,000 to $4,017,000 from the same period last year.  The gross profit for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased by $3,008,000 to $7,973,000, from
$4,965,000 for the same period in 1996.  The gross profit percentage was 23.4%
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared with 22.9% for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.  The increase was primarily due to outsourcing of
manufacturing at lower costs and change in product mix largely arising from the
acquisition of Seaboard.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $937,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997.  The same expenses increased by $2,343,000 to
$6,852,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $4,509,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  The primary reasons for the increase is the
addition of Seaboard, costs associated with international marketing efforts and
additional sales personnel.  The selling, general and administrative expense, as
a percentage of sales, was 20.1% in the first six months of 1997, compared with
20.8% for the first six months of 1996.

The Company generated operating income of $601,000 and $1,121,000 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared with operating income of $447,000
and $456,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.   The increase in
operating income was due to increased sales volume which was partially offset by
increases in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Other (income) expense increased by $97,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997 over the same period in 1996.  Likewise, there was a $182,000 increase for
the six month period.  This was principally due to an increase in interest
expense as a result of higher inventory and receivables levels since December,
1995 and March, 1996, which required an increase in borrowing from the company's
line of credit.

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
resulted in an expense of $293,000 and $98,000, respectively, and an expense of
$174,000 and $115,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital increased by $340,000 to $12,439,000 at June 30, 1997 compared
with $12,099,000 at December 31, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to higher
inventory and receivables levels which were partially offset by higher current
liabilities.

Pursuant to the Company's long-term debt agreements, approximately $10,314,000
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 $3,400,000 through 1997, principally for vehicles, computer
purchases and acquisitions, including Church Oil Tools discussed below.  The
Company expects to fund these expenditures from cash provided by operations,
notes payable, and from the Company's line of credit facility.  The Company
negotiated a new $10,000,000 line of credit in June, 1997 that expires in June,
1998.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings
per Share", was issued.  This statement, which is required to be adopted in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, established standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held
common stock.  This statement simplifies the standards for computing EPS under
existing accounting principles and makes it more comparable to international
accounting standards.  This statement requires restatement of all prior-period
EPS data presented. Management believes that the adoption of this standard will
not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

Acquisition

On July 14, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Church Oil Tools, Inc. ("Church").

Church is a Houston, Texas based manufacturer serving the drilling equipment
market.  Church sells blow out preventers, high pressure valves and specialized
engineering services.  Its customers include drilling contractors, rental tool
companies and other related oilfield service companies.  The Company plans to
continue to operate Church in substantially the same manner as it was operated
prior to the acquisition, and the two principal stockholders of Church entered
into employment agreements with the Company in connection with the transaction.
Church's business will be conducted through a new business unit of the Company
to be called Wood Group Drilling Products.

In connection with the transaction, the Company paid the Church stockholders a
purchase price consisting of $1,000,000 in cash borrowed under the Company's
existing credit facility and $4,000,000 in promissory notes bearing interest at
8% per annum until maturity in July 2001. In addition, the Company agreed to pay
the stockholders up to an additional $1,000,000 in the event that Church's
average earnings in 1999 or 2000 exceeded certain thresholds.  The Company
intends to account for the transaction as a purchase.
