             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial
statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the
information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods.

         The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997.

         For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid cash investments with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

         Interest paid on debt during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 was $2,943,000 and $1,392,000, respectively.

         Income tax payments made during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 were $1,960,000 and $2,595,000, respectively.

NOTE B - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company, its subsidiaries and other related companies are named
defendants in several lawsuits and respondents in certain governmental
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of
lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with
certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse
impact on the Company.

NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS

         The Company completed two acquisitions during the third quarter of
1997. The outstanding stock of Perfco Wireline, Inc. and C & T Unlimited, Inc.
(collectively, "Perfco") was acquired in exchange for 146,116 shares of TETRA
stock valued at approximately $4.0 million, plus additional consideration
contingent upon future earnings. Perfco is an electric wireline service company
operating primarily in the Gulf Coast region and was integrated into the Oil &
Gas Services Division. The Company also acquired the remaining 50% interest in
its RETEC-TETRA L.C. joint venture that it did not previously own. RETEC-TETRA,
renamed TETRA Process Services L.C., will continue to be part of the Specialty
Chemicals Division. The Company paid approximately $8.8 million for the
remaining stock. The excess of the purchase price over the book value of the net
assets was approximately $3.9 million for Perfco and $3.0 million for
RETEC-TETRA.

         All acquisitions by the Company have been accounted for as purchases,
with operations of the companies and businesses acquired included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of
acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the acquired assets and
liabilities based on a preliminary determination of their respective fair
values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets
acquired is included in goodwill and amortized over 40 years. Pro forma
information for these acquisitions has not been presented, as such amounts are
not material.

         In applying the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect
of the stock options outstanding during the second quarter of 1998, the average
market price of $22.28 was used.

NOTE E - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("FAS 130"). FAS
130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income includes all changes
in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners. Other comprehensive income for the Company includes cumulative foreign
currency translation adjustments. No taxes are provided because cumulative
translation adjustments are considered a component of permanently invested
unremitted earnings of subsidiaries outside the United States. Comprehensive
income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $3.7 million and
$3.6 million, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
is $7.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is
required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999. Because of the
Company's minimal use of derivatives, management does not anticipate that the
adoption of the new Statement will have a significant effect on earnings or the
financial position of the Company.

         In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP98-5, Reporting the Costs of
Start-up Activities. The SOP is effective beginning on January 1, 1999, and
requires that start-up costs capitalized prior to January 1, 1999 be written-off
and any future start-up costs to be expensed as incurred. The unamortized
balance of start-up costs will be written off as a cumulative effect of an
accounting change as of January 1, 1999. It is not practical to estimate what
the effect of this change will be on 1999 earnings.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 1998 compared with three months ended June 30, 1997.

         Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $63.8 million
compared to $52.4 million in the prior quarter, an increase of $11.4 million or
22%. Oil & Gas Services revenues were up 15% for the quarter compared to $40.9
million from the 1997 quarter of $35.5 million. Despite this increase, revenues
were below 


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   8

expected levels due to the downturn in the well abandonment business in the
inland waters of Louisiana, which was caused by the current oil industry
spending slowdown. Also the new equipment placed into service for this business
has produced at below expected revenue levels in the quarter because of weak
market conditions. Despite the general weakened market conditions, the
Division's second quarter revenues, excluding the well abandonment business,
were up 27% over the 1997 quarter. Specialty Chemicals Division revenues of
$26.6 million, including intercompany, were up 32% from $20.2 million for the
1997 quarter. Improved volumes from the Division's American MicroTrace and
Process Technologies operations contributed significantly to this increase. The
Division also benefited from the incorporation of the now wholly-owned TETRA
Process Services.

         Gross profits were $16.9 million in the 1998 quarter compared to $15.2
million in the 1997 quarter, for an increase of $1.7 million or 11%. The gross
profit percentage of revenues was 27% in 1998 versus 29% in 1997. While profit
percentages were up slightly in the Specialty Chemicals Division due to improved
operations at the Lake Charles and American MicroTrace plants, the Oil & Gas
Services Division percentages were down reflecting principally the slowdown in
the well abandonment business.

         General and administrative expenses were $9.4 million in the second
quarter of 1998 compared to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 1997. G&A
costs increased in support of expanded international and onshore operations of
the Oil & Gas Services Division. The inclusion of expenses associated with
acquired operations also accounted for a portion of the increase. G&A expenses
as a percentage of revenues decreased from 17% in the 1997 quarter to 15% in the
1998 quarter.

         Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was $7.5 million,
up $1 million or 38% from $6.5 million in 1997. This increase is the combined
result of a gross margin increase of $3.3 million due to increased volume, a
$1.6 million decrease due the lower gross margin rates, and a $.7 million
increase in general and administrative expenses.

         Interest expense increased during the current quarter compared to the
prior year's quarter due to increased long-term debt over the past twelve months
in support of the Company's acquisition and internal growth programs.

         Net income after taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$3.7 million, unchanged from the prior year's quarter. Net income per diluted
share was $0.26 in the 1998 quarter based on 14,265,000 average diluted shares
outstanding compared to earnings in 1997 of $0.26 based on 14,066,000 average
diluted shares outstanding.

Six months ended June 30, 1998 compared with six months ended June 30, 1997.

         For the period ended June 30, 1998, total revenues were $131.1 million,
up $31.8 million or 32% over the 1997 period of $99.3 million. The Oil & Gas
Services Division's revenues of $83.4 million were up approximately 30% over the
prior year's total of $64.3 million. All operations of the Division except the
well abandonment business showed increases over prior year. Domestic and
international completion and PayZone drilling fluid sales and services, wireline
and well-testing businesses all provided significant revenue increases. Revenues
of the Specialty Chemicals Division were up approximately 34% over 1997 from
$41.8 million, including intercompany, to $55.8 million in 1998. Despite soft
winter snow and ice melt demand, sales of dry calcium chloride increased from
the prior year. Also contributing with strong period to period increases were
the Process Technologies group, American MicroTrace micronutrient operations and
Vapor Products consumer product sales.

         Gross profits were $35.2 million in the 1998 period compared to $29.0
million in the 1997 period, for an increase of $6.2 million or 21%. The gross
profit margin percentage from operations was 27% in 1998 versus 29% in 1997. The
Specialty Chemicals Division's gross profit percentage was down from the prior
year, principally in the calcium chloride product line. Market pricing pressures
and product mix contributed significantly to this decrease. Profit percentage
was also down in the Process Technologies group due to project and revenue mix.
The gross profit percentage of the Oil & Gas Services Division also declined in
response to the slowdown in the well abandonment business.

         General and administrative expenses were $19.7 million in the 1998
period compared to $16.7 million in the 1997 period, for an increase of $3
million or 18%. G & A costs increased predominantly in support of expanded
onshore operations of the Oil & Gas Services Division and for increased
advertising of consumer products in the Specialty Chemicals Division. The
inclusion of expenses associated with acquired operations also accounted for a
portion of the increase. G & A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased
from 17% in the 1997 period to 15% in the 1998 period.

         Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $15.5
million, up $3.2 million or 26% from $12.3 million in 1997. This increase is the
combined result of a gross margin increase of $9.3 million due to increased
volume, a $3.1 million decrease due to the lower gross margin rates, and a $3
million increase in general and administrative expenses.

         Interest expense increased during the current period compared to the
prior year's period due to increased long-term debt over the past twelve months
in support of the Company's acquisition and internal growth programs.

         For the six-month period ending June 30, 1998, net income was $7.7
million, up 5% from the $7.3 million reported in 1997. Net income per diluted
share was $0.54 in 1998 on 14,262,000 average diluted shares outstanding
compared to earnings in 1997 of $0.52 based on 14,107,000 average diluted
outstanding shares outstanding.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's investment in working capital, excluding cash and cash
equivalents, increased to $79.9 million at June 30, 1998 compared to $65.2
million at December 31, 1997. Accounts receivables increased by $6.7 million
resulting from development of the Oil & Gas Services Division's wireline
business and international operations. Inventories increased $9.4 million during
this period primarily in the Oil & Gas Services Division. Inventories of clear
brine fluids along the Gulf of Mexico increased as did pipe inventories
associated with the Division's well abandonment business. In the Specialty
Chemicals Division, bromide inventories increased as the new Dow Chemicals plant
at Ludington, Michigan came on-line and dry calcium chloride and feed and
fertilizer inventories increased due to the seasonality of the demand. Unbilled
project costs of the Process Technologies operations increased by $4.2 million
as a result of increased activity in the water treatment business and a
significant increase in larger projects with longer durations. Trade payables
and accrued expenses increased during the period by $5.7 million. Oil and gas
operations accounted for a substantial portion of this change resulting from
inventory increases and capital equipment acquired. Increased project and
construction costs in the specialty chemicals operations also contributed to
this increase.

         The Company has an ongoing acquisition program to augment its internal
growth. To fund this program, the Company will use existing cash and cash flow
as well as its general purpose, unsecured, prime rate/LIBOR-based line-of-credit
with a syndicate of banks led by NationsBank. As of June 30, 1998, the Company
has $2 million in letters of credit and $105 million in long-term debt
outstanding against a $120 million line-of-credit, leaving a net availability of
$13 million. The line-of-credit matures in 2002. The Company also has 4.6
million shares of TETRA common stock available under an S-4 Shelf Registration
Statement to finance its acquisitions.

         Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled
approximately $27.4 million. Significant components include new inland water
rigs, production testing equipment and production equipment for the Oil & Gas
Services Division. The Specialty Chemicals Division expenditures included the
ongoing construction of a new manganous oxide plant in Tampico, Mexico,
construction of a new liquid calcium chloride facility in West Virginia and the
completion of the first stage of the new TETRA and Dow Chemicals bromine
derivatives plant at Ludington, Michigan.

         The Company believes that its existing funds, cash generated by
operations, funds available under its bank line-of-credit, as well as other
traditional financing arrangements, such as secured credit facilities, leases
with

institutional leasing companies, and vendor financing, will be sufficient to
meet its current and anticipated operations and its anticipated capital
expenditures through 1998 and thereafter.
