To the Shareholders of
Arabian Oil Equipment Services LLC

In our opinion, based upon our audits, the accompanying balance sheet and the
related statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of shareholders'
equity, and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Arabian Oil Equipment Services LLC at December 31, 1998
and 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997


1.  INCORPORATION AND ACTIVITIES:

The Company was incorporated into a limited liability company in 1991 at which
time the original capital of Dh 1 million was reduced to Dh 150,000 (100 shares
at Dh 1,500 each) and the surplus of Dh 850,000 was treated as a capital
contribution.  An additional capital contribution of Dh 2,501,000 was
transferred from John Wood Group PLC's loan account in 1997.  The company is
engaged in the manufacture, installation and maintenance of wellhead equipment.

At December 31, 1998 and 1997 the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of John
Wood Group PLC.

In accordance with the provisions of the U.A.E. Federal Commercial Companies Law
No. 8 (as amended), a legal reserve has been accumulated by transferring 10% of
the net profit of the Company.  This reserve may be restricted to 50% of the
capital and is not available for distribution.


2.  TRANSLATION INTO U.S. DOLLARS:

The Company must maintain its financial records in UAE dirhams ("Dh") in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.

The translation of the historical dirham financial statements into U.S.
dollars has been conducted in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation".

The translation into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using
current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and
expense accounts using an average exchange rate for the period.  Adjustments
resulting from translation are included in shareholders' equity.


3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN USE:

INVENTORIES

Inventory consists primarily of finished, semi-finished and raw materials which
are carried at the lower of cost (specific identification or standard cost which
approximates FIFO) or market.

                                       10

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various
classes of assets, which range from 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment.
Major renewals and betterments, which extend the lives of equipment, are
capitalized while all other repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as
incurred.  Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation with any
resulting gain or loss reflected in operations.


GOODWILL

Goodwill, representing the excess of cost over net assets acquired, is amortized
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 10 years.

4.  INVENTORIES:

Inventories comprise the following:

purchase.

companies are not subject to income tax.  Accordingly, the Company does not
believe that it is liable to pay taxes in respect of income generated from its
operations.

2.  TRANSLATION INTO U.S. DOLLARS:

The Company must maintain its financial records in sterling ("GBP") in
accordance with U.K. generally accepted accounting principles.

The remeasurement of the historical sterling financial statements into U.S.
dollars has been conducted in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation".

sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date
and for revenue and expense accounts using an average exchange rate for the
period.  Adjustments resulting from translation are included in stockholders'
equity.


3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN USE:

INVENTORIES

Inventory consists primarily of finished, semi-finished and raw materials which
are carried at the lower of cost (specific identification or standard cost which
approximates FIFO) or market.


PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various
classes of assets.  Plant and machinery is depreciated over 3 to 10 years while
the Company's leasehold properties are depreciated over the periods of the
leases, which range from 45 to 65 years.

INCOME TAXES

The Company records deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying
amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

ERC Industries, Inc.
Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


On May 14, 1999, the Company, in a privately-negotiated transaction (the
"Pressure Control Acquisition"), completed its acquisition from John Wood Group
PLC ("Wood Group") of all of the outstanding capital stock of Wood Group
Pressure Control Holdings Limited ("WGPCHL"), a company incorporated in Scotland
under the Companies Act of the United Kingdom. Prior to the Pressure Control
Acquisition, WGPCHL was a wholly owned subsidiary of Wood Group. The sole assets
of WGPCHL consist of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each of
Wood Group Engineering Services (Peterhead) Limited and Wood Group Engineering
(Middle East) Limited, the latter of which in turn beneficially owns Arabian Oil
Equipment Services LLC (collectively, the "Group Companies"). The Group
Companies market, manufacture and service products used in the drilling and
production segment of the Oil and Gas Industry, primarily consisting of the
repair and overhaul of valves and wellheads.

In connection with the transaction and in exchange for all of the shares of the
capital stock of WGPCHL, the Company issued to Wood Group 1,350,000 shares of
its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), representing
approximately 0.5% of the currently issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock. In addition, the Company issued 1,850,000 shares of its Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The
Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share and an
annual dividend of $0.01 per share beginning in January 2000. Each share of
Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into one share of the Company's
common stock, following the approval of the Company's stockholders of such
conversion.

With the Company and the Group Companies all being under the common control of
the Wood Group, the above transaction has been accounted for similar to pooling
of interests and, accordingly, the consolidated pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements presented combine the historical accounts of Wood Group
Engineering Services (Peterhead) Limited and Arabian Oil Equipment Services LLC
with the accounts of the Company. The historical financial statements of the
Company for periods prior to the consummation of the Pressure Control
Acquisition have been restated as though the Companies had been combined from
the period when they first were under common control of the Wood Group.

On May 31, 1999 Arabian Oil Equipment Services LLC changed its name to Wood
Group Pressure Control (Arabian) LLC.  On June 7, 1999 Wood Group Engineering
Services (Peterhead) Limited changed its name to Wood Group Pressure Control and
Engineering Services Limited.
