                 BLACK WARRIOR WIRELINE CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL

The  accompanying  financial  statements  reflect all adjustments  which, in the
opinion of management,  are necessary for a fair  presentation  of the financial
position of Black Warrior Wireline Corp. and subsidiaries (the "Company").  Such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.  The  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1994 should be read in conjunction with this document.

2. LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company is in default of its 14% subordinated  debenture and 13% convertible
subordinated debenture agreements due to its failure to make scheduled principal
and  interest  payments.  Debenture  holders  representing  $800,000  of the 14%
subordinated  debentures outstanding at December 31, 1994 and 1993 have notified
the Company of default and requested immediate payment of the entire outstanding
balance.  In  accordance  with the default  provisions  in the 14%  subordinated
debenture and 13% subordinated  debenture  agreements,  the stated interest rate
was  increased  to 2% per month  effective  November 30, 1991 and June 30, 1992,
respectively.  The default on the 14% debentures has caused the Company to be in
violation  of  certain  covenants  related to the 13%  convertible  subordinated
debentures.

In addition,  the Company is in violation of several other covenants  related to
the 14% and 13% subordinated  debenture agreements,  including,  but not limited
to, timely  payment of taxes and  compliance  with  provisions  and terms of all
material  agreements  and  commitments.  Although the  remaining  14%  debenture
holders and the 13%  debenture  holders have not notified the Company  regarding
acceleration  of  payment,  the  debenture  holders  have the  right to  require
immediate payment.  Accordingly, the entire balances of the debentures have been
classified as current liabilities.

Under the covenants of the debenture agreements,  the Company is prohibited from
declaring or paying any dividends to  stockholders as long as the debentures are
in default.

3. NOTES PAYABLE - RELATED PARTIES

In October  1991,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  with a  partnership
consisting  of officers  and spouses of officers of the  Company,  whereby  such
partnership  advanced  funds to the Company for  operations.  These advances are
collateralized  by certain accounts  receivable of the Company and bear interest
at a rate of prime plus 2%. At June 30, 1995,  the Company owed the  partnership
$289,293.

The Company had an outstanding  balance of $347,037 in notes payable at June 30,
1995 to the President of the Company and his spouse. These notes are

                                Page 7 of Pages 12

collateralized by certain assets of the Company.


Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Results of Operations

The Company experienced a net loss of $161,488 for the second quarter of 1995 as
compared to a net loss of $318,722 for the same period of 1994. During the first
six months of 1995,  the Company had a net loss of $408,816 as compared to a net
loss of  $596,911  for the first six months of 1994.  Although  activity  in the
Black Warrior basin increased almost 30% from the same period last year, tighter
cost control  measures  helped keep  expenditures  down and  contributed  to the
reduction in losses.

Revenues increased by $95,833,  or 6.2%, to $1,639,035 for the second quarter of
1995 as compared to  $1,543,202  in the same  period of 1994.  Revenues  for the
first six months of 1995 increased $128,981,  or 4.2%, to $3,164,354 as compared
to $3,035,373 for the same period last year.  This increase is the direct result
of the services  performed for a major  directional  drilling  contractor in the
Permian  Basin.  Revenues in the Permian  Basin  increased  4.7% from the second
quarter of 1994 and 9% from the first quarter of 1995. Revenues by business line
are summarized below:

Costs and expenses  decreased $34,470 for the second quarter of 1995 and $94,757
for the first six months of 1995 as compared to the same  periods in 1994.  This
decrease was due in large part to a reduction in  insurance  expense  related to
workman's  compensation.  Salaries and benefits  decreased $25,728 for the first
six months of 1995 with the total number of employees  decreasing  to 89 at June
30, 1995 from 95 at June 30, 1994.

Interest expense  increased by $44,364 for the second quarter of 1995.  However,
interest expense declined $20,085 for the first six months of 1995 as

                                Page 8 of Pages 12
<PAGE>

compared  to the same  period  in 1994.  Three to five year  notes  were used to
purchase new vehicles during the last quarter of 1994 and early in 1995. Net new
borrowings  for the first six months of 1995 totaled  $235,634.  Interest on the
new debt ranged from prime to 11.75%.

Changes  in the oil and gas  industry  induced  the  Company to  reevaluate  its
strengths and  weaknesses.  Resources are being  redirected  around  services in
which the Company  maintains key  competitive  advantages.  This  evaluation has
revealed  potential  opportunities in the oil and gas industry which the Company
hopes to fully explore. For instance, the Company has developed an alliance with
a major drilling contractor  providing  horizontal drilling services in the U.S.
Demand  for such  services  is strong and the  Company  expects  this  demand to
increase.

The  Company  has  developed  a plan to  modernize  and  increase  the number of
operational  wireline  trucks in its fleet.  The Company intends to purchase one
new  tractor  every  120 days and build the  technologically  advanced  wireline
trucks "in-house." This method will save the Company approximately $100,000 from
the cost of purchasing a new, fully equipped  wireline truck.  The third of five
trucks the Company  will build is  currently  under  construction  and should be
ready for service by the end of the third quarter of 1995.  The Company plans to
continue  upgrading  its rolling stock until its fleet is  competitive  with the
other  companies in the  industry.  With this new  technology,  the Company will
increase its activity in the "deep-hole"  sector of the market.  In this sector,
where well depths are below 10,000 feet,  there are fewer  competitors and price
discounts are much less than shallower wells.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flow provided by Company  operations was $24,141 for the quarter ended June
30,  1995 as  compared to $157,180  for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1994.  The
Company's net loss of $408,816  decreased  operating cash flow by $351,551 after
adjusting  for  depreciation   and   amortization  of  approximately   $375,692.
Additional uses of the Company's cash went to reduce current  liabilities and to
repay $107,164 net principal indebtedness.

The Company is in default in payment of  principal  and  interest on $900,000 in
aggregate  principal  amount of its 14%  Subordinated  Debentures due August 31,
1993.  At June 30,  1995,  the  Company  had failed to make  principal  payments
aggregating  $900,000  and  interest  payments  aggregating  $680,500  including
interest at the penalty  rate,  as discussed  below.  The holders of $800,000 of
such  debentures have given notice of the default and  acceleration  thereunder.
Under the terms of the debentures, the entire principal balance plus accrued but
unpaid interest is due by virtue of the notice of default and  acceleration.  In
addition, the stated interest rate applicable to the debentures was increased to
2% per month as of November 30, 1991.

The  Company  is also in default of  payment  of  interest  under the  Company's
$1,100,000  in  outstanding   aggregate  principal  amount  of  13%  Convertible
Subordinated  Debentures  due  August  31,  1995.  At June  30,  1995,  interest
arrearages amounted to $760,750.

The Company is currently negotiating a restructuring of both classes of

                                Page 9 of Pages 12
<PAGE>

debentures in an effort to resolve the defaults in a manner which would minimize
or  reduce  the  potential  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  liquidity.  Such
negotiations  include,  but are not limited to, an  exchange  of  principal  for
equity.  However,  no agreements with respect to such a resolution are in place.
Even if such  arrearages  could be resolved on a basis favorable to the Company,
the Company will still require improved cash flow from operations and additional
working  capital  to meet its  obligations.  Therefore,  the  Company is seeking
commitments  from  investment  bankers  to assist the  Company  in raising  such
capital in the financial markets.
