interests of XL. As the effect of this business combination is not significant,

the fair market values of the net assets acquired in the 1997 acquisitions are
based on preliminary estimates of the fair market value and may be revised when

incurred in 1997. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had incurred substantially
all charges related to the closing of this facility.

(7)   Long-Term Debt

      On March 24, 1994, the Company sold pursuant to a private placement $120
million of 10.25% Senior Notes due 2004. In July 1994, substantially all of
these notes were exchanged for a substantially identical series of 10.25%
Senior Notes due 2004 with semi-annual interest payments in March and
September. Both issues of Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the terms of an
Indenture dated March 15, 1994. Certain subsidiaries of the Company have
unconditionally guaranteed the Company's obligations under the Senior Notes.
See Note 13.

      See Note 11 for discussion of subsequent events.

(8)   Stockholders' Investment

      Stock Split and Name Change

        At the Company's annual shareholders meeting on May 6, 1997, the
shareholders approved a two-for-one stock split of the Company's Common Stock,
$1.00 par value, through a stock dividend and related amendment to the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation that increased the number of
authorized shares of the Company's Common Stock from 40 million shares to 80
million shares. The record date for the two-for-one stock split was May 12,
1997. As a result of the stock split, all stock and per share data contained
herein have been restated to reflect the effect of the two-for-one stock split.
The shareholders of the Company approved the proposed amendment to the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the
Company from "Energy Ventures, Inc." to "EVI, Inc."

      GulfMark Acquisition

        The Company acquired 4.4 million shares of the Company's Common Stock
as a result of the May 1997 acquisition of GulfMark (see Note 4). The fair
market value of these shares as of the date of acquisition is included in the
accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as "Treasury Stock, at Cost".

(9)   Change in Accounting Standards

      In 1996 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), Earnings
per Share ("EPS"), which replaces primary earnings per share with basic
earnings per share and requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings
per share. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 128 in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1997. Pro forma basic and diluted net income per share is set forth below:

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

(10)  Reclassifications and Restatements

      Certain reclassifications of prior period balances have been made to
conform such amounts to corresponding September 30, 1997 classifications. The
consolidated condensed financial statements have been restated to reflect the
sale of the Company's Mallard Division on November 11, 1996.

(11)  Subsequent Events

      Acquisitions

        On October 9, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
Trico Industries, Inc. ("Trico") from PACCAR Inc for cash consideration of $105
million, subject to adjustments for changes in the net assets from August 31,
1997, to the date of closing. Trico also owns a 30% interest in BMW Monarch
(Lloydminster) Ltd. ("BMW Monarch"). The Company's acquisition of Trico is
subject to various conditions, including the receipt of all necessary
governmental consents and approvals and the expiration of all applicable
waiting periods, and is expected to be funded with a portion of the net
proceeds from the 5% Convertible Subordinated Preferred Equivalent Debentures
(the "Debentures").

        On October 9, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
all of the outstanding shares of BMW Monarch not owned by Trico and all of the
outstanding shares of BMW Pump, Inc. ("BMW Pump") for an aggregate cash
consideration of Canadian $130 million, subject to adjustments for changes in
the net assets of BMW Pump and BMW Monarch from March 31, 1997, to the date of
closing The acquisitions of BMW Monarch and BMW Pump are subject to various
conditions, including the closing of the Company's acquisition of Trico and the
receipt of all necessary governmental consents and approvals and the expiration
of all applicable waiting periods. The acquisitions of BMW Monarch and BMW Pump
are expected to be funded with a portion of the net proceeds from the
Debentures.

      5% Convertible Subordinated Preferred Equivalent Debentures

         In November 1997, the Company completed a private placement of $402.5
million principal amount of Debentures. The Debentures bear interest at an
annual rate of 5% and are convertible at a price of $80 per share of Common
Stock, $1.00 par value, of the Company beginning 90 days after the last
issuance thereof. The Debentures are redeemable by the Company at any time on
or after November 4, 2000 at redemption prices described therein, and are
subordinated in right of payment of principal and interest to the prior payment
in full of certain existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The
Company also has the right to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by
extending the quarterly interest payment period on the Debentures for up to 20
consecutive quarters at anytime when the Company is not in default in the
payment of interest.

      Tender Offer for Senior Notes

        The Company currently expects to commence an offer to acquire the
Senior Notes during the fourth quarter of 1997. The Company also intends to
seek an amendment to the Indenture relating to the Senior Notes to eliminate
substantially all the material non-payment covenants in the Indenture. The
acquisition of the Senior Notes and amendment to the Indenture are expected to
result in a one-time charge during the fourth quarter of approximately $9.8
million, net of taxes, for the early extinguishment of debt.

(12)  Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information

     The following presents the consolidated financial information for the
Company on a pro forma basis as if the August 1996 TCA acquisition, the July
1996 equity offering of 6.9 million shares of Common Stock, the May 1, 1997
acquisition of GulfMark and the November 1997 issuance and sale of the
Debentures had occurred on January 1, 1996. All other 1996 and 1997
acquisitions are not material individually nor in the aggregate for each
applicable year, therefore, pro forma information is not presented.

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

GENERAL

     EVI, Inc. (the "Company") is an international manufacturer and supplier of
engineered oilfield tools and equipment. The Company's products are used both
for the drilling and production phases of oil and natural gas wells. The
Company has achieved significant growth in recent years through a consistent
strategy of synergistic acquisitions and internal development. The Company's
acquisitions have focused on consolidation and vertical integration,
development of complete product lines and technology. The Company's internal
growth has focused on technology, product development, manufacturing
efficiencies and productivity enhancements.

     The Company's principal products consist of drill pipe and other drilling
tools, premium connectors and associated high grade tubulars, marine
connectors, packers and completion tools and artificial lift systems. The
Company's growth strategy has resulted in the Company becoming the largest
manufacturer of drill pipe, drill collars and heavyweight drill pipe in the
world, the largest provider of premium tubular connectors in North America and
one of the largest providers of artificial lift equipment in the world.

     In November 1997, the Company completed a private placement of $402.5
million principal amount of 5% Convertible Subordinated Preferred Equivalent
Debentures (the "Debentures"). The Debentures bear interest at an annual rate
of 5% and are convertible at a price of $80 per share of Common Stock, $1.00
par value ("Common Stock"), of the Company beginning 90 days after the last
issuance thereof. The Debentures are redeemable by the Company at any time on
or after November 4, 2000 at redemption prices described therein, and are
subordinated in right of payment of principal and interest to the prior payment
in full of certain existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The
Company also has the right to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by
extending the quarterly interest payment period on the Debentures for up to 20
consecutive quarters at anytime when the Company is not in default in the
payment of interest.

     During 1997, the Company completed a number of strategic acquisitions
directed at an expansion of the Company's drilling products segment and
production equipment segment. These acquisitions included (i) Anbert Cilindros
S.A.I.C. ("Anbert"), an Argentine manufacturer of sucker rod pumps, in February
1997, (ii) Griffin Legrand ("Griffin"), a Canadian manufacturer of progressing
cavity pumps and conventional pump jacks, in March 1997, (iii) TA Industries,
Inc. ("TA"), a manufacturer of premium couplings and casing, in April 1997, (iv)
XL Holding, Inc. ("XL"), a manufacturer of high performance connectors for
marine applications such as conductors, risers and offshore structural
components, in August 1997, (v) McAllister Petroleum Services Ltd.
("McAllister"), a Canadian manufacturer of inflatable packers and electronic
temperature and pressure instruments, in August 1997, and (vi) various other
small acquisitions intended to expand the Company's manufacturing capabilities,
geographic scope and breadth of product lines. The acquisition of XL has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests. The other acquisitions were accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting.

     On October 9, 1997, the Company entered into agreements to acquire Trico
Industries, Inc., a U.S. manufacturer and distributor of subsurface
reciprocating pumps, sucker rods, accessories and hydraulic lift systems
("Trico"), BMW Pump, Inc., a Canadian manufacturer of progressing cavity pumps
("BMW Pump"), and BMW Monarch (Lloydminster) Ltd., a Canadian distributor of
progressing cavity pumps and other oilfield equipment ("BMW Monarch") for a
total aggregate cash consideration of approximately $200 million plus assumed
debt of approximately $10 million. The acquisitions of Trico, BMW Pump and BMW
Monarch are intended to further expand the range of artificial lift products
and technology offered by the Company's production equipment segment, expand
the Company's manufacturing capabilities of progressing cavity pumps and
establish a broader distribution base in Canada. The acquisitions of Trico, BMW
Pump and BMW Monarch are subject to various conditions, including the receipt
of all necessary governmental approvals, including in the case of Trico, the
expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976. The BMW acquisition is also contingent upon the
acquisition by the Company of Trico. The Company intends to fund the
acquisition costs of Trico, BMW Pump and BMW Monarch with a portion of the net
proceeds from the recent private placement of $402.5 million principal amount
of the Debentures. The Company currently anticipates the closing of the
acquisitions of Trico, BMW Pump and BMW Monarch by year end. However, there can
be no assurance that the transactions will close or as to the timing thereof.

     The demand for the Company's drilling products is particularly affected by
the price of natural gas and the level of oil and natural gas drilling
activity, while the demand for the Company's production equipment is directly


                                      17
<PAGE>   18

dependent on oil production activity. Exploration and production activity is
affected by worldwide economic conditions, supply and demand for oil and
natural gas, seasonal trends and the political stability of oil producing
countries.

     Substantially all of the Company's customers are engaged in the energy
industry. This concentration of customers may impact the Company's overall
exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that customers may
be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not
generally require collateral in support of its trade receivables. The Company
maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and actual losses have
historically been within the Company's expectations.

     The Company currently expects that 1997 and 1998 results will continue to
benefit from strong tubular products sales and favorable operating results from
the 1996 and 1997 acquisitions. Results, however, will be dependent on market
conditions and demand for drill pipe and other tubular products. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance as to future results or profitability.

     At the Company's annual shareholders meeting on May 6, 1997, the
shareholders approved a two-for-one stock split of the Company's Common Stock
effected through a stock dividend and a related amendment to the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation that increased the number of authorized
shares of the Company's Common Stock from 40 million shares to 80 million
shares. The record date for the two-for-one stock split was May 12, 1997. As a
result of the stock split, all stock and per share data contained herein have
been restated to reflect the effect of the two-for-one stock split. The
shareholders of the Company approved the proposed amendment to the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from
"Energy Ventures, Inc." to "EVI, Inc."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     General

     Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 1997 was $23.1
million, or $0.50 per share, on revenues of $236.8 million compared to income
from continuing operations for the third quarter of 1996 of $6.9 million, or
$0.16 per share, on revenues of $134.4 million. Income from continuing
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was $56.5 million, or
$1.23 per share, on revenues of $612.9 million compared to income from
continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, of $13.7
million, or $0.35 per share, on revenues of $323.6 million. The increases in
revenues and income from continuing operations reflect the continuing strength
in the Company's markets and the effect of recent acquisitions. Results for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, also include a one-time pre-tax gain of
$3.4 million from the second quarter sale of the Parker Drilling Company
("Parker") common stock received in the Company's November 1996 disposition of
its contract drilling division to Parker.

     Net income for the third quarter of 1997 was $23.1 million, or $0.50 per
share, compared to $9.8 million, or $0.23 per share, for the third quarter of
1996. Included in net income for the third quarter of 1996 is $2.8 million, or
$0.07 per share, from discontinued operations relating to the Company's Mallard
contract drilling division that was sold in November 1996. Net income for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $56.5 million, or $1.23 per share,
compared to $19.2 million, or $0.49 per share, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 which included $6.2 million, or $0.16 per share, relating to
the Company's discontinued operations of the Mallard division and an
extraordinary charge, net of taxes, of $731,000, or $0.02 per share for debt
termination costs.

     THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED 
     SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

     Drilling Products Segment

     The Company's drilling products segment reported revenues and operating
income of $169.5 million and $34.6 million, respectively, for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, up from $99.5 million and $13.9 million,
respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1996. These improvements
were primarily due to increased demand for drill pipe and other drilling tools,
continued strength in premium tubular activity and the Company's third quarter
acquisition of XL, a manufacturer of marine connectors. The continued increase
in demand for drill pipe reflected higher domestic and international drilling
activity, in particular offshore drilling. Premium tubular revenues increased
to approximately $80 million during the third quarter of 1997 up from
approximately $52 


                                      18
<PAGE>   19

million for the third quarter of 1996. The increase in premium tubular revenues
reflects continued strong demand in the Gulf of Mexico and the April 1997
acquisition of TA. The Company also benefited from increased pricing on the
Company's products and reduced costs associated with the expansion of the
Company's Mexico tool joint facility.

     Production Equipment Segment

     The Company's production equipment segment reported revenues and operating
income of $67.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively, for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, up from $34.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively,
for the three months ended September 30, 1996. These improvements are due
primarily to the Company's acquisitions of Arrow Completion Systems ("Arrow")
in 1996 and Anbert, Griffin and McAllister in 1997. The increase in operating
income reflects the benefits of these acquisitions as well as improvements in
the segment's domestic cost structure. In addition, the Company continues to
benefit from strong growth in the Canadian and South American markets, in
particular for the Company's Corod and progressing cavity pump product lines.

     Selling, General and Administrative

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 71%
to approximately $25.1 million in the third quarter of 1997 from approximately
$14.7 million in the third quarter of 1996. The increase in 1997 was primarily
attributable to the Company's significant internal growth and the 1997 and 1996
acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
revenues, however, declined from 10.9% to 10.6%

     NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED 
     SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

     Drilling Products Segment

     Revenues and operating income for the drilling products segment were
$439.4 million and $82.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, up from $229.0 million and $31.7 million, respectively, for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increased revenues were
attributable to a combination of increased demand and volume of drill pipe and
premium tubular products and higher sales prices of drill pipe and premium
tubulars. Results for the nine months of 1997 benefited from reduced costs
associated with the expansion of the Company's Mexico facility. The increase in
sales of premium tubular products was primarily attributable to improved market
conditions in deep offshore exploration and production activity, and the
operating results of the Company's 1996 and 1997 acquisitions.

     The Company substantially completed the closing of its Bastrop, Texas tool
joint manufacturing facility in the second quarter of 1997. In the fourth
quarter of 1996, the Company had accrued $1.5 million for exit costs to be
incurred in 1997. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had incurred substantially
all charges related to the closing of this facility.

     Production Equipment Segment

     Revenues and operating income for the production equipment segment were
$173.5 million and $15.6 million, respectively, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, up from $94.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively, for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in sales and operating
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were primarily attributable
to 1996 and 1997 acquisitions and increased sales of the Company's Corod and
progressing cavity pump product lines.

     The Company substantially completed the closing of its Arlington, Texas
packer manufacturing facility in the second quarter of 1997. In the fourth
quarter of 1996, the Company had accrued $0.5 million for exit costs to be
incurred in 1997. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had incurred substantially
all charges related to the closing of this facility.

     Selling, General and Administrative

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 64%
to approximately $67.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from
approximately $41.3 million in 1996. The increase in 1997 was primarily
attributable to the Company's internal growth and the 1997 and 1996
acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
revenues, however, declined from 12.8% to 11%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In November 1997, the Company completed a private placement of $402.5
million principal amount of the Debentures. The net proceeds to the Company
after the expenses from the sale were approximately $390.6 million. The
Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 5% and are convertible at a price
of $80 per share of Common Stock of the Company beginning 90 days after the
last issuance thereof. The Debentures are redeemable by the Company at any time
on or after November 4, 2000 at redemption prices described therein, and are
subordinated in right of payment of principal and interest to the prior payment
in full of certain existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company.

     At September 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $16.9 million compared to $224.0 million at December 31, 1996.
The reduction in cash and cash equivalents since December 31, 1996, was
primarily attributable to the payment by the Company of taxes on the 1996 sale
of its Mallard contract drilling division and the reinvestment by the Company
of the net proceeds from the sale of acquired businesses and assets, including
additional working capital associated with such businesses and increased
business activity.

     In April 1997, the Company sold its investment in Parker common stock
pursuant to a public offering effected by Parker. The net proceeds received by
the Company were approximately $23 million.

     The Company currently has working capital facilities providing for up to
$152.6 million in borrowings. At September 30, 1997, the Company had
outstanding $32.4 million in borrowings under these facilities compared to $2.9
million at December 31, 1996. In addition, the Company had outstanding
approximately $5.4 million and $10.1 million in letters of credit at September
30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, respectively. In November 1997, the Company
repaid all of its outstanding borrowings under its U.S. working capital
facilities with a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the
Debentures. The Company also obtained a release of all collateral pledged under
its U.S. working capital facility and is in the process of renegotiating the
terms thereof in light of the growth in the Company's businesses and changes to
the Company's capital structure. The Company's Canadian facility is subject to
borrowing base requirements relating to accounts receivable and inventory
securing the borrowings. Borrowings under the Company's working capital
facilities bear interest at variable rates and contain customary affirmative
and negative covenants relating to working capital, earnings and net worth.
These facilities also impose limitations on the Company's and its subsidiaries'
use of funds for future acquisitions and capital expenditures, the incurrence
of additional debt and other operational matters and certain expenditures, as
well as limitations on the declaration and payment of cash dividends by the
Company.

     The Company currently has outstanding $120 million of 10 1/4% Senior Notes
due 2004 (the "Senior Notes") with semi-annual interest payments in March and
September. The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the terms of an Indenture
dated March 15, 1994. Certain subsidiaries of the Company have unconditionally
guaranteed the Company's obligations under the Senior Notes. The Indenture
relating to the Senior Notes contains various customary affirmative and
negative covenants. The Indenture also limits, based on a specific formula, the
ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to pay dividends and
make other distributions. The Company currently expects to commence an offer to
acquire the Senior Notes during the fourth quarter of 1997. The Company also
intends to seek an amendment to the Indenture relating to the Senior Notes to
eliminate substantially all the material non-payment covenants in the
Indenture. The acquisition of the Senior Notes and amendment to the Indenture
are expected to result in a one-time charge during the fourth quarter of
approximately $9.8 million, net of taxes, for the early extinguishment of debt.

     The Company also intends to utilize approximately $200 million of the net
proceeds from the sale of the Debentures to fund the acquisition of Trico, BMW
Pump and BMW Monarch.

     The Company's current sources of capital are its current cash, including
the cash received on the sale of the Debentures, cash generated from operations
and borrowings under its working capital lines of credit. The Company believes
that current reserves of cash and short-term investments, access to existing
credit lines and internally 


                                      20
<PAGE>   21

generated cash from operations are sufficient to finance the projected cash
requirements of its current and future operations. The Company is continually
reviewing acquisitions in its markets. Depending upon the size, nature and
timing of an acquisition, additional debt or equity may be utilized.

ACQUISITIONS

     On October 9, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Trico
from PACCAR Inc for cash consideration of $105 million, subject to adjustments
for changes in the net assets from August 31, 1997, to the date of closing.
Trico also owns a 30% interest in BMW Monarch. The Company's acquisition of
Trico is subject to various conditions, including the receipt of all necessary
governmental consents and approvals and the expiration of all applicable
waiting periods, and is expected to be funded with a portion of the net
proceeds from the Debentures.

     On October 9, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all
of the outstanding shares of BMW Monarch not owned by Trico and all of the
outstanding shares of BMW Pump for an aggregate cash consideration of Canadian
$130 million, subject to adjustments for changes in the net assets of BMW Pump
and BMW Monarch from March 31, 1997, to the date of closing The acquisitions of
BMW Monarch and BMW Pump are subject to various conditions, including the
closing of the Company's acquisition of Trico and the receipt of all necessary
governmental consents and approvals and the expiration of all applicable
waiting periods. The acquisitions of BMW Monarch and BMW Pump are expected to
be funded with a portion of the net proceeds from the Debentures.

     On August 25, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of XL for
consideration of $45 million in Common Stock. On August 8, 1997, the Company
completed its acquisition of McAllister for approximately $25 million. On April
14, 1997, the Company acquired TA for a total consideration, including assumed
debt, of approximately $64 million. On March 14, 1997, the Company acquired
Griffin for total cash consideration of approximately $21 million. On February
13, 1997, the Company acquired Anbert for approximately $8 million. The Company
has also effected various other 1997 acquisitions for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and subsequent to September 30, 1997, for a total
consideration of approximately $9.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The
acquisition of XL was accounted for as a pooling of interests. All other 1997
acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

     On May 1, 1997, the Company acquired GulfMark International, Inc.
("GulfMark") pursuant to a merger in which approximately 4.4 million shares of
Common Stock were issued to the stockholders of GulfMark. Prior to the merger,
GulfMark effected a spin-off to its stockholders of its marine transportation
services business. The retained assets of GulfMark that were acquired by the
Company in the transaction consisted of approximately 4.4 million shares of the
Company's Common Stock, an erosion control company and certain other
miscellaneous assets. Because the number of shares of Common Stock issued in
the GulfMark acquisition approximated the number of shares of Common Stock held
by GulfMark prior to the acquisition, the GulfMark acquisition had no material
effect on the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock or equity of the
Company.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND OTHER

     Capital expenditures by the Company during the nine months ended September
30, 1997, totaled approximately $45.8 million and were primarily related to
plant expansions in Canada, equipment upgrades and Corig purchases. Ongoing
routine capital expenditures for the remainder of 1997 are estimated to be
approximately $10 million. Capital expenditures are expected to be funded with
available cash, cash flow from operations and, if desirable, borrowings under
existing lines of credit and other facilities. Following the completion of the
expansion of the Vera Cruz, Mexico tool joint manufacturing facility, the
Company recorded the remaining obligation of $37 million under its lease to 
reflect the current terms thereof. 

     In 1997, the Company began modifying its computer system programming to
process transactions in the year 2000. Anticipated spending for this
modification will be expensed as incurred and is not expected to be material.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), Earnings Per Share,
which replaces primary earnings per share with basic earnings per share and
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company
intends to adopt SFAS No. 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997. Assuming the
adoption of SFAS No. 128 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, basic
and diluted earnings per share would be $.50 per share and $.49 per share,
respectively. Basic and 


                                      21
<PAGE>   22

diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 would
be $1.23 and $1.20 per share, respectively.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain statements made herein and in other public filings and releases by
the Company contain "forward-looking" information (as defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that involve risk and uncertainty.
These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, future
sales, earnings, margins, production levels and costs, expected savings from
acquisitions, demand for products, product deliveries, market trends in the oil
and gas industry and the oilfield service sector thereof, research and
development, environmental and other expenditures, currency fluctuations and
various business trends. Forward-looking statements may be made by management
orally or in writing including, but not limited to, this Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
section and other sections of the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the
Securities Act of 1933.

     Actual results and trends in the future may differ materially depending on
a variety of factors including, but not limited to, changes in the price of oil
and gas, changes in the domestic and international rig count, global trade
policies, domestic and international drilling activities, world-wide political
stability and economic growth, including currency fluctuations, government
export and import policies, technological advances involving the Company's
products, the Company's successful execution of internal operating plans and
manufacturing consolidations and restructurings, changes in the market for the
Company's drilling tools and other products, performance issues with key
suppliers and subcontractors, the ability of the Company to maintain price
increases and market shares, raw material costs changes, collective bargaining
labor disputes, regulatory uncertainties and legal proceedings. Future results
will also be dependent upon the ability of the Company to continue to identify
and complete successful acquisitions at acceptable prices, integrate those
acquisitions with the Company's other operations and penetrate existing and new
markets. Many of these factors are described in greater detail in the Company's
Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 1996, Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997, and

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

     At EVI, Inc.'s (the "Company") annual stockholders meeting on May 6, 1997,
the stockholders approved a two-for-one stock split of the Company's common
stock, $1.00 par value (the "Common Stock"), through a stock dividend and a
related amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation that
increased the number of authorized shares of the Company's Common Stock from 40
million shares to 80 million shares. The record date for the two-for-one stock
split was May 12, 1997. As a result of the stock split, all stock and per share
data contained herein has been restated to reflect the effect of the
two-for-one stock split.

     On November 3, 1997, pursuant to the provisions of the Placement Agreement
dated October 28, 1997 (the "Placement Agreement"), by and among the Company,
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, Lehman Brothers Inc.,
