        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 GENERAL

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements for BJ Services Company (the "Company") include all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position as of March 31, 1995, the results of
operations for each of the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1995 and
1994 and the cash flows for each of the six month periods then ended. The
consolidated condensed statement of financial position at September 30, 1994 is
derived from the September 30, 1994 audited financial statements. Although
management believes the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

Certain amounts for fiscal 1994 have been reclassified in the accompanying
consolidated condensed financial statements to conform to current year
presentation.

NOTE 2 SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In April 1995, the Company acquired The Western Company of North America 
("Western") for total consideration, including transaction costs, of    
approximately $514 million in cash and shares of the Company's common stock 
and warrants to purchase common stock.  The following unaudited pro forma
summary presents the consolidated results of operations of the Company as if
the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 1995.

On April 13, 1995, the Company canceled its committed, unsecured credit
facilities and the outstanding borrowings were repaid by funding from the
Company's newly restructured committed unsecured credit facility, executed on
April 14, 1995 to accommodate the acquisition of Western (the "Bank Credit
Facility").  The Bank Credit Facility consists of a five-year $175.0 million
revolving credit facility and a six-year $265.0 million term loan, providing 
an aggregate of $440.0 million in principal borrowings to the Company.

Waivers have been obtained with respect to the Company's $30.0 million 9.2%
Notes Due August 1, 1998 (the "Notes") regarding the noncompliance that would
have occurred, as a result of the consummation of the Bank Credit Facility,
in respect of certain restrictive covenants included in the note agreements.  
Such waivers are effective for three months after the closing of the Bank 
Credit Facility, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of any 
event of default under the Bank Credit Facility.  The Company is currently 
engaged in negotiations to modify such restrictive covenants and other 
provisions of the note agreements.  If an amended note agreement is not 
consummated, the Company intends to prepay the Notes with funds available under
its Bank Credit Facility.

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

The Company's operations are primarily driven by the number of oil and gas
wells being drilled, the depth and drilling conditions of such wells, the
number of well completions and the level of workover activity worldwide.
Drilling activity, in turn, is largely dependent on the price of oil and
natural gas. This is especially true in the United States, where the Company
generates approximately half of its revenues (approximately two-thirds after
giving effect to the acquisition of Western).

Due to weak energy prices and declining production, drilling activity in the
United States has declined more than 75% from its peak in 1981, and record low
drilling activity levels were experienced in 1986 and 1992. These events have
led to the withdrawal by the Company from several low activity areas, including
Casper and Riverton, Wyoming and Abilene, Texas in 1994. In addition, pumping
service companies have been unable to recapitalize their aging United States
fleets due to the inability, under current market conditions, to generate
adequate returns on new capital investments.

The U.S. averaged 708 and 767 active drilling rigs for the respective three and
six month periods ended March 31, 1995.  This represents a decline of 7% and 5%
compared with the same periods in 1994. For the most recent quarter, most of
the activity decline occurred from reduced drilling for natural gas. It is
anticipated that natural gas drilling activity will continue to show
unfavorable comparisons over at least the next several quarters due to 
currently weak natural gas prices.

While international (excluding Canada) drilling activity has historically been
less volatile than domestic activity, the international active rig count has
declined in each of the last four years due to weaker oil prices and economic
and political instability in certain overseas countries. Over the last few
years, the most significant declines in international drilling activity have
occurred in the North Sea, Italy, Nigeria and Mexico.

In both the U.S. and internationally, there has been an increasing trend by oil
and gas companies toward "alliances" with the service companies. These
alliances take various forms including packaged or integrated services, single
source suppliers and turnkey agreements. For the first half of the fiscal year,
approximately $36 million of the Company's U.S. revenue and $5 million of its
international revenue were generated under such alliances.

EXPANSIONS AND ACQUISITIONS

Despite the recent declines in international drilling activity, management 
believes the primary opportunities for geographic and product expansion remain 
in international markets. As a result, other than the acquisition of Western, 
the Company's capital spending and expansion efforts have been primarily 
focused outside of the U.S. Most of the Company's expansion efforts during the 
past year have been focused on expanding the tubular services and commissioning
and leak detection products, acquired in 1992, into geographic





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
regions outside the North Sea.

On April 13, 1995 the Company completed its transaction to acquire Western      
for approximately $514 million, including transaction costs of approximately
$10 million in cash and shares of the Company's common stock and warrants to
purchase common stock. Both the Company and Western are leading providers of
oilfield services. The acquisition gives the Company a greater "critical mass"
with which to compete in the U.S. and international markets and the opportunity
to realize significant consolidation benefits. While merger and consolidation
costs will depress earnings for the next two quarters, the acquisition should
add revenues of up to 70 - 80% to the Company's previous revenue base beginning
in the June quarter. In addition, the majority of the consolidation efforts and
resulting benefits are expected to be in place by the beginning of fiscal 1996.
The realization of consolidation benefits depends upon a number of factors,
including factors relating to general industry conditions and other factors
outside the Company's control and the amount and timing of consolidation costs
and benefits that are ultimately realized remain subject to all such factors
affecting the combined business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue: Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 was $106.7 million, an 8%
increase from the prior year's second quarter revenue. For the six months ended
March 31, 1995, revenue was $226.1 million, an 11% increase over the same
period of the previous year.

U.S. revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were relatively flat with
those of the same period in 1994. For the six month period, U.S. revenues
increased 5% from the prior year due primarily to increased cement unit
placements in the Gulf of Mexico, the addition of a stimulation vessel which
was introduced in mid 1994 and slightly improved pricing.  Also contributing to
the year over year increase were alliances with major operators which generated
approximately $8 million of additional revenue during the current six month 
period. For the most recent quarter, those increases were offset by lower 
revenues in the natural gas regions of South Texas and the Rocky Mountains.

International revenue for the three and six month periods was $60.0 million and
$122.2 million, respectively. Such revenue represented increases of 15% and
17%, respectively, over the same periods of 1994 and occurred despite declines
in overall international drilling activity as measured by the active drilling
rig count. Much of the revenue growth occurred in Latin America as a result of
increased stimulation activity with both private and governmental oil companies
in Argentina, and the addition of a stimulation vessel in 1994 and a coiled
tubing barge in 1995 to service the Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela market. Also
contributing to the revenue increases were revenues from the Company's
operations in Egypt which was previously accounted for as an equity investment
until the Company acquired the remaining ownership from its joint venture
partner in April 1994. In addition, geographic expansion of the Company's
tubular services and casing and leak detection products generated increased
revenues as these products have now been expanded into a total of 13 countries,
including parts of the Middle East, Africa, South America, the Far





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
East and Australia. These gains were partially offset by declines in revenue
from the Company's North Sea operations as a result of a decline in stimulation
vessel activity and the loss of a major cementing contract in Norway.

Operating Income: As a result of the revenue increase, the Company's operating
income of $3.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 was more
than double the operating earnings of the same period in the previous year.
Operating earnings for the six month period ended March 31, 1995 increased 46%
over the same period of the previous year. For the quarter, the cost of sales
and services as a percentage of revenue was 2.0% lower than that of the
previous year's second quarter and 1.1% lower for the six month period
primarily as a result of approximately $1.5 million in unusual or nonrecurring
expenses which were incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. Such
expenses included startup costs associated with the Company's new stimulation
vessels in the Gulf of Mexico and Venezuela, mobilization costs for geographic
expansions and offshore skid placements, and severance and other costs
associated with the downsizing of selected international locations.  Other
operating expenses increased by $1.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for
the three and six month periods as compared to the same periods of the prior
year primarily as a result of marketing expenses related to international
expansions and computer system costs.

Net interest expense increased by $.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively,
over the same three and six month periods of the previous year as a result of
increased interest rates on the Company's floating rate debt obligations and
interest rate swap agreement which effectively converts the fixed interest rate
on the Company's 9.2% notes to a variable rate. The net other income of $.9
million for the six months ended March 31, 1995 resulted from royalty income
from certain of the Company's products, a nonrecurring gain on the sale of a
duplicate facility in Scotland during the first quarter and a gain in the
second quarter on the sale of certain non revenue generating assets in the Far
East region.

The effective tax rate increased from 19% in the prior year's first six month   
period to 21% in the current year due to marginal tax rates on higher
profitability during the current year. The prior year's results also reflect
the cumulative effect of an accounting change for retiree health benefits which
resulted in a net loss for the six month period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Capital resources and liquidity: Net cash provided by operating activities
during the first six months of 1995 was $17.1 million compared to $3.1 million
in the same prior year period. The improvement was due to higher profitability
and a smaller increase in working capital compared with the year earlier
period.

Management strives to maintain low cash balances while utilizing available
credit facilities to meet the Company's capital needs. Any excess cash
generated is used to pay down outstanding borrowings.





                                       10
<PAGE>   11
At March 31, 1995, the Company maintained committed, unsecured credit
facilities of $88.0 million, under which $74.2 million was outstanding. The     
commitments were subsequently canceled and the outstanding borrowings were
repaid by funding from the Company's newly restructured committed unsecured
credit facility,  executed on April 14, 1995 to accommodate the acquisition of
Western. The Bank Credit Facility consists of a five-year $175.0 million
revolving credit facility and a six-year $265.0 million term loan, providing an
aggregate of $440.0 million in principal borrowings to the Company.  The credit
facility specifically allocates $40.0 million of the term loan for redemption
of the  7 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures originally issued by Western
and assumed by the Company as a result of the acquisition.  The Company
subsequently called the outstanding debt for redemption, and holders of all but
$111,000 principal amount of the debentures elected to convert their debentures
into the right to receive cash, Company stock and warrants to purchase common
stock. Accordingly, the Company has provided notice to the banks under its Bank
Credit Facility of its intention to reduce the aggregate commitment and the
term loan thereunder by $40.0 million to $400.0 million and $225.0 million,
respectively. At March 31, 1995 the Company had $35.0 million in available
discretionary lines of credit, under which $5.8 million was outstanding. The
Company has subsequently increased its available discretionary lines of credit
to $55.0 million.

The Company's interest bearing debt represented 34.5% of its total
capitalization at March 31, 1995, compared to 36.3% at the previous fiscal year
end. The improvement reflects cash flows from operations which were used to pay
down short term borrowings.

Management believes that the restructured credit facilities described above,
combined with other discretionary credit facilities and cash flows from
operations, will provide the Company with sufficient capital resources and
liquidity to manage its routine operations and fund projected capital
expenditures.

The Company's 9.2% note agreement and Bank Credit Facility agreement contain    
various customary covenants, including the maintenance of certain profitability
and solvency ratios. Waivers have been obtained with respect to the Company's
$30.0 million 9.2% Notes Due August 1, 1998, regarding the noncompliance that
would have occurred, as a result of the consummation of the Company's credit
agreement, in respect of certain restrictive covenants included in the note
agreements.  Such waivers are effective for three months after the closing of
the Bank Credit Facility, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of
any event of default under the Bank Credit Facility.  The Company is currently
engaged in negotiations to modify such restrictive covenants and other
provisions of the note agreements.  If an amended note agreement is not
consummated, the Company intends to prepay the Notes with funds available under
its Bank Credit Facility.

Requirements for Capital: Capital expenditures for the six months ended March
31, 1995 were $15.0 million, or $8.2 million below the spending in the same
period of the previous year. The current year's spending relates primarily to
offshore operations both in the U.S. and abroad. The prior year's spending
included approximately $9 million for the construction of two offshore
stimulation vessels

completed during the Company's second fiscal quarter of 1994. Fiscal 1995
capital expenditures, which are expected to be approximately $26 million
(excluding the Western acquisition), will be focused primarily on international
growth opportunities, including product and geographic expansions. The first
six months' investing activities included $3.8 million of proceeds from the
sale of a duplicate facility and other disposals of assets.  The cash generated
from such sales is not of a recurring nature, and the disposals of these assets
will not have a material effect on future revenue or operating profits.

The actual amount of 1995 capital expenditures will be primarily dependent upon
the availability of expansion opportunities and will be funded from cash flows
from operating activities and available credit facilities. Management believes
cash flows from operating activities and available lines of credit, if
necessary, will be sufficient to fund projected capital expenditures.

                                    PART II
                               OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

               As a result of the Merger, the Company assumed responsibility
               for certain claims and proceedings made against Western in
               connection with its business.  Some, but not all, of such claims
               and proceedings will continue to be covered under insurance
               policies of Western which were in place at the time of the
               merger.  Although the outcome of the claims and proceedings
               against the Company (including Western) cannot be predicted with
               certainty, management believes that there are no existing claims
               or proceedings that are likely to have a materially adverse
               effect on the Company.

               Shortly after the public announcement in September 1994 of the
               proposed acquisition of Western by the Company (the "Proposed
               Acquisition"), four actions were commenced against Western and
               its directors in the Delaware Court of Chancery, styled Croyden
               Associates v. Sheldon R. Erikson, et al., and The Western
               Company of North America, C.A. No. 13740, filed September 13,
               1994; Reggie P. Judice v. Sheldon R. Erikson, et al., and The
               Western Company of North America, C.A. No. 13742, filed
               September 14, 1994; William T. Henderson v. Sheldon R. Erikson,
               et al., and The Western Company of North America, C.A. No.
               13743, filed September 14, 1994, and Russ Seger v. Sheldon R.
               Erikson, et al., and The Western Company of North America, C.A.
               No. 13769, filed September 27, 1994. The allegations in these
               lawsuits, all of which were filed as alleged class action 
               complaints, are substantially the same and relate to the 
               rejection of the Proposed Acquisition by the Board of Directors 
               of Western. The purported class of plaintiffs on whose behalf 
               the class action complaints were filed is all stockholders of 
               Western. Among the claims included in these lawsuits is the 
               claim that, by failing to accept the Proposed Acquisition, 
               Western and its directors breached their fiduciary duties to the
               stockholders of Western. In their complaints, the plaintiffs 
               sought equitable relief to compel Western and its directors to 
               perform their fiduciary duties, as construed by the plaintiffs, 
               and unspecified damages.  Three former directors of Western, 
               Michael E. Patrick, William J. Johnson, and David A.B. Brown, 
               are now directors of the Company.

Item 2.        Changes in Securities

               Upon effectiveness of the Merger, by execution of a supplemental
               indenture (the "Senior Note Supplement") with respect to
               Western's 12 7/8% Senior Notes due December 1, 2002, and a
               supplemental indenture (the "Debenture Supplement") with respect
               to Western's 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due
               January 15, 2015 (the "Debentures"), the Company assumed the
               covenants and obligations of Western under the respective
               indentures.





                                       13
<PAGE>   14
               Pursuant to the indenture for the Debentures, as supplemented by
               the Debenture Supplement, each holder of a Debenture was
               permitted to convert each $1,000 principal amount debenture into
               (i) $588.235 in cash, (ii) 29.49 shares of BJ Common Stock
               and (iii) 11.76 BJ Warrants. Cash will be paid in lieu of
               fractional shares of BJ Common Stock (on the basis of $19.9438
               per share) and fractions of BJ Warrants (on the basis of $5.00
               per warrant). On April 20, 1995, the Company announced the
               redemption, effective May 9, 1995, of the remaining outstanding
               Debentures, which, per the announcement, ceased to be convertible
               as of the close of business on May 4, 1995.  Holders of all but
               $111,000 principal amount of the Debentures converted their
               Debentures prior to the close of business on May 4, 1995.  The
               redemption price is 103.625% of the principal amount of the
               Debentures plus accrued interest to May 9, 1995, for a total
               amount of $1,059.21 per $1,000 principal amount of the
               Debentures.

               In connection with the Merger, stockholders of Western received
               4.38 million warrants ("Warrants") to purchase common stock of
               the Company ("Common Stock") at an initial exercise price of
               $30.00, subject to certain adjustments. The Warrants may be
               exercised at any time prior to the close of business on April
               13, 2000, and, upon exercise, would increase the number of
               shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Item 3.        Defaults upon Senior Securities

               Waivers have been obtained with respect to the Company's $30.0
               million 9.2% Notes Due August 1, 1998 (the "Notes"), regarding
               the noncompliance that would have occurred, as a result of the
               consummation of the Company's credit agreement, in respect of
               certain restrictive covenants included in the note agreements.
               Such waivers are effective for three months after the closing of
               the Bank Credit Facility, subject to earlier termination upon 
               the occurrence of any event of default under the Bank Credit 
               Facility.  The Company is currently engaged in negotiations to 
               modify such restrictive covenants and other provisions of the 
               note agreements. If an amended note agreement is not 
               consummated, the Company intends to prepay the Notes with funds
               available under its Bank Credit Facility.

Item 4.        Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

               At the annual meeting, Don D. Jordan and Michael McShane were
               elected as Class II Directors of the Company. The following
               table sets forth the results of the voting with respect to the
               election of directors at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on
