                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
and operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended September
30, 1995 and 1994.  The statements should be read in conjunction with the March
31, 1995 audited consolidated financial statements included in the fiscal 1995
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.   EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Primary earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock of UTILX Corporation, $0.01
par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period.  Common stock equivalents, when dilutive, include
shares issuable upon exercise of the Company's stock options and certain
warrants.  Fully diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted
average number of shares of Common Stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period taking into consideration maximum potential
dilution.

3.   MATERIALS, SUPPLIES AND INVENTORIES

Materials, supplies and inventories at September 30, 1995 and March 31, 1995 are

5.   NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK

The Company has obtained a renewal of its committed, uncollateralized credit
facility of $5,000,000.  The credit agreement requires that the Company maintain
certain financial covenants, including requirements to maintain certain levels
of tangible net worth, current ratio and debt ratio.  This line of credit now
expires on November 30, 1996.

6.   DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

In order to realize the carrying amount of its net deferred tax assets at
September 30, 1995, the Company will be required to generate certain amounts of
taxable income in future years.  As required by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, management estimates that it is more likely than
not that the company will be able to generate sufficient taxable income in
future years and, accordingly, has not provided a valuation allowance as of
September 30, 1995.  This estimate is required to be updated on a quarterly
basis, and a change in management's estimate could result in a decision to
establish a valuation reserve in the future.

7.   LITIGATION

The Company is involved in matters of litigation, both as a plaintiff and as a
defendant, all arising in the ordinary course of business. In August 1995, the
Company was named a defendant in litigation filed in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of a person alleging serious
personal injury in June 1994 while performing work at a Company work site.  The
plaintiff has alleged negligence, gross negligence and breach of contract by the
Company.  The complaint requests an unspecified amount of damages in excess of
$50,000 and punitive damages, plus interest and costs.  The Company is defending
this matter. Management expects that these matters will not have a materially
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or
liquidity of the Company.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THROUGH
                        THE END OF THE SECOND QUARTER OF
                          FISCAL YEAR 1996 COMPARED TO
                                FISCAL YEAR 1995


REVENUES:

Consolidated revenues decreased 8.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996,
compared to the same period in fiscal 1995.  Consolidated revenues decreased
5.1% in the first six months of fiscal 1996, compared to the same period in
fiscal 1995.

NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS. Revenues from FlowMole drilling operations in North
America ("FlowMole operations") decreased 13% to $8.5 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $9.8 million in the same period of fiscal
1995. Revenues from FlowMole operations were 77% of consolidated revenues in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 81% in the same period of fiscal 1995.
Revenues from CableCure services in North America ("CableCure operations")
increased 40% to $1.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to
$1.0 million in the same period of fiscal 1995.

Revenues from FlowMole drilling operations in North America ("FlowMole
operations") decreased 10.3% in the first six months of fiscal 1996 compared to
the same period of fiscal 1995.  Revenues from CableCure services in North
America ("CableCure operations") increased 31% in the first six months of fiscal
1996 compared to the same period of fiscal 1995.

The decrease in revenues in FlowMole operations was attributed to a number of
factors, including crew count, competition and weather. The Company's ability to
add new crews during the quarter was adversely impacted by factors ranging from
the slow process of hiring and training crews, the competitive environment for
bidding work, slow release of work from customers, and weather-related factors
ranging from hurricanes in the Southeastern United States to early snows in
Colorado. The average number of FlowMole crews working during the second quarter
of fiscal 1996 was 48 compared to 55 in the same period of fiscal 1995, and the
Company reached a peak of 62 total crews at the end of the quarter.

Strong demand for CableCure services contributed to the increased revenue
levels. The Company  is continuing a program for training crews and attempting
to improve revenue per crew, as part of its efforts to increase capacity in
response to the demand for CableCure services.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. Revenues from international operations decreased 8% to
$1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $1.3 million in
the same period of fiscal 1995. The decrease was primarily attributed to lower
levels of shipments of equipment and spare parts.  Revenues from international
operations increased 10% in the first six months of fiscal 1996 compared to the
same period of fiscal 1995.  This increase was primarily due to higher levels of
shipments of equipment during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit decreased 45% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996, compared to the
same period in fiscal 1995.  Gross profit decreased 33% in the first six months
of fiscal 1996, compared to the same period of fiscal 1995.

NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS. Gross Profit from FlowMole operations and CableCure
operations decreased primarily due to the lower combined revenue levels
generated in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to the same period of
fiscal



                                       -9-

<PAGE>

1995. Also, the weather-related downtime and start-up costs on new contracts
contributed to a decrease in gross profit. Furthermore, customers are requiring
the Company to perform a higher level of ancillary services in connection with
the typical cable replacement job, contributing to increased labor costs.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS.  Overall gross profit from international operations
was essentially unchanged in each of the first two quarters of fiscal 1996
compared to the same periods of fiscal 1995.

OPERATING EXPENSES AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES)

Total operating expenses decreased 2% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996
compared to the same period of fiscal 1995. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 10%, primarily due to filling new staff positions, including
the replacement of certain sales personnel prior to the beginning of fiscal 1996
that had been temporarily eliminated during the second quarter of fiscal 1995.
Research and engineering expenses decreased by 56% due to lower levels of
consulting expenses and lower consumption of materials in research activities.
Total operating expenses decreased 2% in the first six months of fiscal 1996
compared to the same period of fiscal 1995.

Other income (expense), net was income of  $64,000 and $132,000 in the second
quarter and first six months of fiscal 1996, respectively, compared to an
expense of $125,000 and $180,000 in the same periods of fiscal 1995.  The
Company recorded a gain from its share of the startup operations of its joint
venture, FlowMole Environmental Services Corporation, in each of the first two
quarters of fiscal 1996 compared to losses in the same periods of fiscal 1995.
There can be no assurance of continued profits from the joint venture.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a pretax loss of $690,000 in
the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to pretax income of $114,000 in the
same period of fiscal 1995.  The Company recorded a pretax loss of $1.3 million
in the first six months of fiscal 1996 compared to a pretax loss of $360,000 in
the same period of fiscal 1995.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)

The Company's effective income tax rate through the end of the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 was 28%. For the full fiscal year 1995, the Company's effective tax
rate was also 28%.  Through the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1995, the
Company's then current estimate of its effective income tax rate was 38%.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net loss of $493,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to net income of $64,000 in the same
period of fiscal 1995.  The Company recorded a net loss of $953,000 in the first
six months of fiscal 1996 compared to a net loss of $223,000 in the same period
of fiscal 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1995, the Company had unused sources of liquidity consisting of
$736,000 in cash and cash equivalents and an unused balance on its committed
line of credit of $4,100,000. This compares to $840,000 in cash and cash
equivalents and an unused balance on its committed line of credit of $5,000,000
at March 31, 1995. The decrease in cash and increase in the usage of the line of
credit during the first and second quarters of fiscal 1996 were primarily due to
timing factors in carrying amounts of receivables and inventory as well as in
the payment of expenses.  The Company anticipates the periodic usage of its line
of credit throughout fiscal 1996. The Company anticipates that through cash
generated by operations, and the periodic use of its credit facility, that it
will be able to meet its cash requirements through at least fiscal 1996. The
line of credit expires on November 30, 1996.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

     ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

EUROPEAN PATENT MATTERS.  In May 1989, the Company was granted European Patent
No. 0 195 559 by the European Patent Office covering subject matter related to
the Company's drilling technology similar to two patents previously granted to
the Company in the United States in June 1987 and November 1988.  In October
1991, an Opposition Board of the European Patent Office revoked the patent.  The
Company disagreed with the decision and appealed the ruling.  On October 8,
1993, the Technical Board of Appeal issued a provisional opinion favorable to
the Company, but not final.  The Company and opposers both filed statements in
response to the provisional opinion and an oral hearing before the Technical
Board of Appeal was scheduled to take place on October 25, 1995.  Prior to the
oral hearing discussions took place between the Company and the opponents
leading to the signing of settlement terms and the withdrawal of the
oppositions.  As a result, the Appeal hearing was canceled and the Appeal is
expected to be continued to be conducted by correspondence with the European
Patent Office.

SMET LITIGATION.  The Company initiated legal action in January 1988 in the U.S.
Federal District Court in Seattle, Washington against Marc Smet, a former
equipment lessee, certain parties related to Smet and certain unrelated parties,
alleging breach of contract and tortious conduct.  In 1991, the Court entered
judgment in the amount of $491,975 against the defendants plus attorneys' fees
in the amount of $191,823 against Marc Smet.  In January 1995, a court in
Belgium denied the enforcement of the claim.  As part of a settlement, Smet has
withdrawn opposition in the European Patent litigation and the Company has
agreed not to pursue enforcement of the judgment against Smet and related
parties.

EMERSON VS. UTILX CORPORATION, A.B. CHANCE CO., AND CITY OF BRYAN.  In August
1995, the Company was named a defendant in litigation filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of a person alleging
serious personal injury in June 1994 while performing work at a Company work
site.  The plaintiff has alleged negligence, gross negligence and breach of
contract by the Company.  The complaint requests an unspecified amount of
damages in excess of $50,000 and punitive damages, plus interest and costs.  The
Company is defending this matter.
