                        Report of Independent Auditors



Board of Directors
Fiber Glass Systems, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Fiber Glass
Systems, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 27, 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholdersO equity, and cash flows for the
year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
CompanyOs management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Fiber
Glass Systems, Inc. and Subsidiary at December 27, 1996, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES, AND SOURCES OF
     SUPPLY (CONTINUED)

AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL

Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over thirty years.

PRODUCT WARRANTIES

The Company's products are generally under warranty against defects in material
and workmanship for a period of one year.  Provision for estimated warranty
costs is recorded monthly based on sales volumes and is periodically adjusted to
reflect actual experience.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred.
Equipment used in research and development activities which has alternative uses
is capitalized.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are recognized for (a) the amount of taxes payable or refundable
for the current year, and (b) deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future
tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured based upon enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES, AND SOURCES OF
     SUPPLY (CONTINUED)

SOURCES OF SUPPLY

The Company currently buys all of its fiberglass, an integral material of its
products, from one supplier.  The Company has purchased its fiberglass from this
supplier, a FortuneE500 company, for a number of years with no interruption in
supply.  Although there are a limited number of fiberglass suppliers, management
believes that other suppliers could provide fiberglass on comparable terms.  A
change in suppliers, however, could cause a possible loss of sales, which would
affect operating results adversely.

3.  LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has entered into a $7Emillion term loan with a bank.  The term loan
matures MayE30, 2000.  At December 27, 1996, borrowings under the term loan bore
interest at a weighted average rate of approximately 9.25%.  The term loan
contains certain covenants relating to the maintenance of certain financial
ratios and net worth requirements.  In addition, the CompanyOs inventory,
accounts receivable, and property, plant, and equipment are pledged as
collateral.

Principal requirements on the term loan as of December 27, 1996 are as follows:
<TABLE>

  1997       $1,250,000

  1999        1,750,000
  2000        1,000,000
</TABLE>

In addition, the Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit.  The line of credit
bears interest at the Eurodollar rate and expires MayE31, 1998.  A commitment
fee is payable at the rate of one-half of one percent on the unused portion of
the line of credit. The line of credit is collateralized by the CompanyOs
inventory, accounts receivable, and property, plant, and equipment.  No amounts
were outstanding under this line of credit at December 27, 1996.

          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  Basis of Presentation - The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
     Financial Statements are presented to give pro forma effect to the
     acquisition of Fiber Glass Systems, Inc. ("FGS") for an aggregate purchase
     price of $31,406,154, including an earn-out provision of $9,797,355.  Upon
     consummation of the acquisition, the outstanding shares of capital stock of
     FGS were converted into the right to receive (i) 1,689,542 shares of Common
     Stock of Tuboscope Vetco International Corporation (the "Company") and
     $906,869 in cash and (ii) up to an additional 726,316 shares of Common
     Stock of the Company and $355,260 in cash, contingent upon the realization
     of certain earnout provisions.  For purposes of these pro forma statements,
     the full earn-out has been assumed.

     The purchase method of accounting has been used in preparing the Unaudited
     Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Company with
     respect to the acquisition of FGS. The statement of operations for the
     fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, combines the results of operations for
     Tuboscope's fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 with FGS results for the
     same period. Purchase accounting values have been assigned on a preliminary
     basis and will be adjusted upon the completion of a valuation study.

(2)  To record Tuboscope's purchase of FGS for $31,406,154.  The purchase price
     included 2,415,858 shares of Common Stock of the Company valued at $13.00
     per share and cash consideration of $1,262,000.  Adjustments to assets
     include the estimated step-up of fixed assets of $800,000 and goodwill of
     $22,119,000 represented by the excess purchase price over the estimated
     fair market value of net tangible assets.  Adjustments to liabilities and
     equity include the $1,262,000 payment as an increase in the revolving
     credit facility, the elimination of FGS' equity accounts, and the issuance
     of 2,415,858 shares of Common Stock valued at $13.00 per share.

(3)  To record additional amortization on goodwill resulting from the allocation
     of the purchase price of FGS.  Goodwill is amortized over 40 years based on
     estimated economic life.  The amortization period is consistent with that
     used by Tuboscope and various other companies in the oilfield industry.

(4)  To record additional interest expense on debt related to the purchase
     price.

(5)  To reflect the tax effect on the pro forma adjustments.
