     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 March 31,  1995,  the Company  owed
     the partnership $289,293.

     The Company  had an  outstanding  balance of  $347,037 in notes  payable at
     March 31, 1995 to the President of the Company and his spouse.  These notes
     are 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  $247,328  for the first three
months of 1995 as  compared  to a net loss of  $278,189  for the same  period of
1994.  This slight  improvement  was the result of a more than 30%  reduction in
operating  expenses of the Company in the Black Warrior Basin.  During this same
period,  however,  the Company's Boone  division,  which operates in the Permian
Basin of Texas and New  Mexico,  exceeded  its expense  budget on several  jobs.
Tighter  cost  accounting  control  measures  have  been  instituted  to  reduce
expenditures on future jobs and restore profitability.

         Revenues increased by $33,148, or 2%, to $1,525,319 for the first three
months of 1995 as  compared  to  $1,492,171  in the same  period  of 1994.  This
increase is the direct result of the services  performed for a major directional
drilling contractor in the Permian Basin. Revenues in this region increased 8.5%
from the first quarter of 1994 and 5% from the end of 1994. Revenues by business
line are summarized below:

                                  =========    =========


         Costs and expenses decreased $60,287 for the first three months of 1995
as  compared to 1994.  This  decrease  was due in large part to a  reduction  in
insurance  expense  related to  workman's  compensation.  Salaries  and benefits
decreased  $35,257  for the  first  quarter  of 1995  with the  total  number of
employees decreasing to 91 at March 31, 1995 from 94 at March 31, 1994.

         Interest  expense  increased by $64,449 for the first  quarter of 1995.
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 quarter of
1995 totaled $194,234. 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  to the
Permian  Basin of Texas and New Mexico.  Demand for such  services is strong and
the Company  expects this demand to increase.  Also, the first  horizontal  well
ever drilled in the coal bed fields of the Black Warrior Basin will be attempted
in June of 1995. If  successful,  this will stimulate  additional  activity in a
region  which has been  declining  for several  years.  The Company  maintains a
strong presence in this market and feels it is positioned to take full advantage
of this new opportunity. Finally, the Company is submitting bids on work in East
Texas and expects activity in this area to be strong.

         The Company has developed an aggressive  plan to increase the number of
operational  wireline  trucks in its fleet.  The Company intends to purchase one
new tractor every ninety 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 second of five
trucks the Company  will build is  currently  under  construction  and should be
ready for service by the end of the second quarter of 1995. The Company plans to
continue  upgrading its rolling stock until all units have been reconditioned or
replaced.  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 virtually
non-existent.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Cash flow  provided by Company  operations  was $53,890 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 as  compared  to ($4,823)  for the quarter  ended March 31,
1994.  The  Company's  net loss of  $247,328  decreased  operating  cash flow by
$55,889 after  adjusting for  depreciation  and  amortization  of  approximately
$191,439.  Additional  uses  of  the  Company's  cash  went  to  reduce  current
liabilities and to repay $68,590 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 March 31, 1995,  the Company had failed to make  principal
payments   aggregating  $900,000  and  interest  payments  aggregating  $626,500
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 March 31, 1995,
interest arrearages amounted to $694,750.

         The Company is currently negotiating a restructuring of both classes of
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.
