                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   The consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have
     been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and notes
     normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
     pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that
     the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information
     presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed financial
     statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
     related notes included in the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders
     incorporated by reference in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1993.

2.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
     financial statements contain all adjustments and reclassifications, which
     are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its
     financial position as of March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, and the
     results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended
     March 31, 1994 and 1993.

3.   The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
     year.

4.   On February 11, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of
     substantially all of the assets, and assumed certain related liabilities,
     of Marathon LeTourneau Company for $52.1 million pursuant to an agreement
     with General Cable Corporation dated November 12, 1993.  The acquisition
     was financed with $10.4 million in cash and $41.7 million in 7% promissory
     notes due in 1999 and has been recorded using the purchase method of
     accounting.  The accompanying  financial statements give effect to the
     acquisition as of January 1, 1994 and include the financial position,
     results of operations and cash flows associated with the acquired net
     assets from that date forward.  Had the acquisition been completed
     effective January 1, 1993, the Company's first quarter 1993 operating
     results would have been as follows: revenues - $98.9 million, net loss -
     $12.6 million and net loss per common share - $0.17.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1994 Compared to
         Three Months Ended March 31, 1993


         The Company incurred a net loss of $6 million in the first quarter
of 1994 compared to a net loss of $13.5 million in the same quarter of 1993.
The decrease in loss (56%) was, in part, affected by the inclusion of the
operating results of manufacturing in the 1994 quarter and by the increase in
combined drilling and aviation revenues between the periods of $6.4 million
(9%) more than offsetting the increase in the combined drilling and aviation
operating expenses of $.5 million (1%).

         A comparison of the revenues and operating profit (loss) from
drilling, aviation, manufacturing and consolidated operations for the first
quarters of 1994 and 1993, respectively, are reflected below (dollars in
thousands):

         As reflected above, the Company's consolidated operating results
improved $7.5 million when the $3.4 million operating profit in the first
quarter of 1994 is compared to the $4.1 million operating loss in the first
quarter of 1993.  A $4 million decline in turnkey drilling revenues was more
than offset by the aggregate effect of an $8.4 million increase in day rate
drilling revenues and a decrease of $1.9 million in drilling operating expenses.
Turnkey drilling revenues and incremental operating profit for the first quarter
of 1994 were $13.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, compared to $17.8
million and $1.9 million, respectively, for the same quarter in 1993. The
aviation operating results in both the 1994 and 1993 quarters reflect the normal
seasonal slowdown in flying activity in Alaska.

         In late 1992, industry conditions in the two principal drilling markets
in which the Company participates generally began moving in opposite directions.
An improvement in natural gas prices brought about an improvement in utilization
levels and day rates in the Gulf of Mexico.  In the early part of the first
quarter of 1994, drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico slowed due to delays in
issuing drilling permits by the U. S. Government and failure of some energy
companies to finalize their 1994 budgets until after the first of the year. 
Utilization and day rates declined in the North Sea due to energy companies
downsizing their drilling programs and uncertainty created by the changes in
energy policies in the United Kingdom.

         Although the Company continues to offer a diversity of flight services,
such as forest fire control, crew changes for commercial fishing, flightseeing,
airborne environmental surveys, commuter airline services, medivac

services, etc., the aviation division's operating results are still heavily
dependent upon helicopter activity associated with oil and natural gas
exploration and production, principally in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico.

         Perceptible trends in the marine drilling markets in which the Company
is currently operating and the number of Company- operated rigs in each of those
markets (adjusted for the drilling rig currently being relocated from the North
Sea to the Gulf of Mexico) are as follows:

         The drilling and aviation markets in which the Company competes
frequently experience significant changes in supply and demand.  Drilling
utilization and day rates achievable in offshore markets are affected by
material changes in overall exploration and development expenditures, as well as
by shifts of such expenditures between markets.  These expenditures, in turn,
are driven by major discoveries of oil and natural gas reserves, shifts in the
political climate, regulatory changes, seasonal weather patterns, contractual
requirements under leases or concessions and changes in oil and natural gas
prices, the last being perhaps the most disruptive of all.  The markets in which
the Company's aviation division competes are similarly affected by these
factors, since servicing offshore energy operations remains a significant source
of that division's business.  The Company can, as it has done in the past,
relocate its drilling rigs and aircraft from one geographic area to another in
response to such changing market dynamics, but only when these moves are
economically justified.

         The volatile nature of the various factors affecting the level of
offshore expenditures by energy companies and shifts of such expenditures
between markets prevent the Company from being able to predict whether the
perceptible market trends reflected in the tables on page 9 will continue, or
their impact on the results of drilling and aviation operations for the
remainder of 1994.

         In February 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of the net
assets of Marathon LeTourneau Company for $52.1 million with $10.4 million cash
paid at the time of the purchase and the balance being seller-financed by
promissory notes bearing interest at 7% and payable at the end of five years. 
The Company's new manufacturing segment operates a mini-steel mill that recycles
scrap and produces alloy steel and steel plate; a manufacturing facility that
produces heavy equipment for the mining and timber industries including, among
other things, front-end loaders up to 50 ton capacity; and a marine division
that has built over one-third of all mobile offshore jack-up drilling rigs,
including all twenty operated by the Company.

         The Company's manufacturing operations generated $20.8 million of
revenues and was profitable for the quarter.  With the uncertainty associated
with its pending sale now removed, the marketing efforts of the division will no
longer be constrained.  The Company continues to evaluate its manufacturing
product and service lines with the intention of sustaining and enhancing
operating results through the remainder of 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         A comparison of key balance sheet figures and ratios as of March 31, 
1994 and December 31, 1993 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>

         Reflected in the comparison above are the effects of the acquisition of
the net assets of Marathon LeTourneau Company as well as the effects in the
first quarter of 1994 of net cash provided by operations of $23.7 million,
property and equipment additions of $6.4 million, and principal and interest
payments totaling approximately $2.6 million.

         With respect to cash dividends on the Company's common stock, the
Company's ability to pay cash dividends was restored as a result of the addition
of the proceeds from the public offering of 10 million shares of common stock in
June 1993.  As of March 31, 1994 approximately $19 million of the Company's
retained earnings were available for the payment of dividends under the terms of
certain debt agreements.  However, the Company does not intend to pay dividends
on its common stock until it achieves and sustains a suitable level of
profitability.

         Capital expenditures made during the first quarter of 1994 were $6.4
million, consisting primarily of the purchase of one fixed-wing airplane and
modifications to certain offshore rigs.  The Company estimates 1994 capital
expenditures will be between $25 million and $35 million.  These expenditures
are in addition to the $52.1 million purchase of the net assets of Marathon
LeTourneau Company.  The Company may also spend amounts to acquire additional
aircraft as market conditions justify and to upgrade existing offshore rigs.

         In the opinion of management, cash provided by operations and existing
working capital will be adequate to sustain planned capital expenditures and
debt service requirements for the foreseeable future.  The Company does not
currently have any unused lines of credit.
