                                   BUSINESS


General Development of Business
-------------------------------

     CLX Energy, Inc., the registrant (the "Company") is an independent oil and
gas company which was incorporated in the State of Colorado on December 12, 
1977.  The Company engages in on-shore oil and gas exploration, development
and production in the continental United States.  The Company's oil and gas
activities are concentrated primarily in Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming.


Financial Information About Industry Segments
---------------------------------------------

     The Company has engaged in only one industry segment and line of business,
namely the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of oil and
gas properties for its own account.  See the Company's Financial Statements
included herein.


Description of Business
-----------------------

     CLX Energy, Inc., the Company, is engaged in the operation of producing 
oil and gas wells, the acquisition of producing properties, the acquisition of 
oil and gas leases, and the development of oil and gas drilling prospects.  
Drilling prospects, both development and wildcat, are sold to others on a 
promoted basis with the Company recovering its land, legal and geological costs
and retaining a cost free interest in the prospect.

     As of September 30, 1997 the Company's significant oil and gas operations 
were located in the following areas.

               STATE               COUNTY
               -----               ------

               Wyoming             Campbell and Crook
               Kansas              Meade
               Oklahoma            Alfalfa and Beaver


<PAGE>


Principal Products Produced and Services Rendered
-------------------------------------------------

     The Company's principal products are crude oil and natural gas.  Crude oil
and natural gas are sold to various purchasers, including pipeline companies,
which generally service the area in which the Company's wells are located.  The
Company's oil and gas production is sold to several purchasers, three of which
purchased more than 10% of oil and gas revenues.  Prices received for the 
Company's oil and gas production is based upon the "spot" market of the 
National Commodity Futures Exchange subject to reductions for transportation
and product quality.  These prices vary from month to month subject to supply
and demand.  See the Company's Financial Statements included herein.


Status of New Products or Industry Segments
-------------------------------------------

     There has been no public announcement of, and no information otherwise has
been made public about a new product or industry segment, which would require 
the investment of a material amount of the Company's assets, or which otherwise
is material.


Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
-----------------------------------------

     The existence of commercial oil and gas reserves is essential to the 
ultimate realization of value from the Company's properties and thus may be 
considered a raw material essential to the Company's business.  However, the 
acquisition, exploration, development, production, and sale of oil and gas is 
subject to many factors which are outside of the Company's control.  These 
factors include national and international economic conditions, availability of
drilling rigs, casing, pipe and other equipment and supplies, proximity to 
pipelines, the supply and price of other fuels.  The Company acquires oil and
gas properties from landowners, other owners of interests in such properties,
or governmental entities.  For information relating to specific properties of
the Company see Item 2 below.  The Company currently is not experiencing any 
difficulty in acquiring necessary supplies, including drilling rigs.


Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions
---------------------------------------------------------

     The Company does not own any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, or
concessions, except oil and gas interests granted by governmental authorities
and private land owners.


Seasonal Nature of Business
---------------------------

     The Company's business is not seasonal in nature.



<PAGE>



Working Capital Items
---------------------

     Working capital is not required to carry inventories to meet rapid 
delivery requirements, or to assure continuous allotments of goods from 
suppliers.  Access to sufficient cash is essential to take advantage of 
opportunities to acquire, develop, and operate oil and gas properties.


Major Customers
---------------

     The Company's business does not depend upon a single customer or a very 
few customers.  Oil and gas purchasers have been readily available in this 
Company's market areas (See Note 8 to Financial Statements).


Backlog
-------

     Backlog is not relevant to an understanding of the Company's business.


Renegotiation or Termination of Government Contracts
----------------------------------------------------

     No portion of the Company's business is subject to renegotiation of 
profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the 
Government.


Competitive Conditions
----------------------

     The exploration for and development and production of oil and gas are 
subject to intense competition.  The principal methods of competition in the 
industry for the acquisition of oil and gas leases are the payment of bonus 
payments at the time of acquisition of leases, delay rentals, location damage 
supplement payments, the use of differential royalty rates, the amount of 
annual rental payments and stipulations requiring exploration and production 
commitments by the lessee.  Companies with greater financial resources, 
existing staff and labor forces, equipment for exploration, and vast experience
will be in a better position than the Company to compete for such leases.  In
addition, the availability of a ready market for oil and gas will depend upon 
numerous factors beyond the Company's control, including the extent of domestic
production and imports of oil, proximity and capacity of pipelines, and the
affect of federal and state regulation of oil and gas sales.  The Company has
an insignificant competitive position in the oil and gas industry.


Research and Development
------------------------

     The Company has not engaged and does not currently engage in any research 
and development activities.


<PAGE>


Environment Protection
----------------------

     The Company is subject to various federal, state and local provisions 
regarding environmental matters, the existence of which has not hindered nor 
adversely affected the Company's business.  Although the Company does not 
believe its business operations presently impair environmental quality, 
compliance with federal, state and local regulations which have been enacted or
adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment could have 
an adverse effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive 
position of the Company.  Since inception, the Company has not made any 
material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities and is not
aware of any such expenditures that will be required in current or following 
fiscal years.


Employees
---------

     As of September 30, 1997, the Company employed one person, the President
and Chief Executive Officer, on a full-time basis.


Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Company has no operations in foreign countries and no portion of its 
sales or revenues is derived from customers in foreign countries.

                              PROPERTIES


Office Facilities
-----------------

     The Company's offices are located at 1776 Lincoln Street, Suite 806, 
Denver, Colorado  80203, in space which the Company leases from an unaffiliated
entity.  The Company currently occupies approximately 1,440 square feet for 
which it pays a monthly rental of $1,113.  The lease agreement on this space 
expires on May 31, 1998.


Oil and Gas Properties
----------------------

     The Company is in only one line of business, that of acquiring, developing
and producing oil and gas properties.  The Company's estimated discounted 
future net revenue attributable to proved producing reserves of $288,600 is 
attributed 67.4% to natural gas reserves and 32.6% to oil reserves.

     The Company holds interests in producing and non-producing leaseholds as 
set forth below.

     Net acres represent the gross acres in a lease or leases multiplied by the
Company's working interest in such lease or leases.

     The Company's undeveloped acreage is all held pursuant to leases from the
landowner or a governmental entity.  Such leases have varying dates of 
execution and generally expire one to five years after the date of the lease.
The Company is obligated to pay varying delay rentals to the lessors of such
properties to prevent the leases from expiring.



<PAGE>


Proved and Proved Developed Reserves
------------------------------------

     The following table shows, for the years indicated, the proved and proved
developed oil and gas reserves attributable to the Company's interests.
Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural
gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate
with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known 
reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices and
costs as of the date the estimate is made.  Prices include consideration of
changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not
on escalations based upon future conditions.  Proved developed oil and gas 
reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing
wells with equipment and operating methods.

          MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity, Capital Resources and Commitments
--------------------------------------------

     During 1997, the Company accessed capital from the following sources, 
other than oil and gas sales:

     *     $125,000 from the sale of 833,333 shares of the Company's common 
           stock.

     *     $26,783 in the form of management fees for managing a drilling
           program for a corporation which purchased certain drilling prospects
           from the Company.

     *     $5,000 from the sale of a drilling prospect in Wyoming.

     These funds were utilized for payment of bank debt and for operating 
capital.

     The Company's $75,000 revolving line of credit with the Union Bank & Trust
of Denver, Colorado expired in August, 1997.  The Company has not requested 
that this credit line be renewed.

     The Company's cash flow from oil and gas sales is not expected to cover 
the normal operating expenses of the Company.  Additionally, the Company's 
current liabilities exceed its current assets by approximately $19,000.

     The Company currently has drilling prospects which it is actively 
marketing to industry participants.  If these prospects are successfully sold,
the Company will receive a front-end payment and an interest carried free of
costs in these prospects which would improve the Company's cash flow.

Results of Operations
---------------------
Year Ended September 30, 1997 Compared With Year Ended September 30, 1996:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating Revenue
-----------------

     Revenue from oil and gas sales for the year ended September 30, 1997 was
$111,309 compared to $108,845 for the year ended September 30, 1996.  This
increase is attributable to increases in average unit prices for oil and gas
offset by a decrease in revenue due to quantities sold in 1997 compared to 
1996.  The decrease in sales volume was primarily the result of normal 
declines.  Management fees increased due to an increase in activity in a 
drilling program that the Company manages.

     A comparison of approximate volumes sold and average unit prices is 
summarized as follows:

                                    YEAR ENDED SEPT. 30

     Average Unit Price
     ------------------

       Oil (Bbls.)                  $16.84        16.13 
       Gas (MCF)                    $ 2.55         2.03


Operating Costs and Expenses
----------------------------

     Lease operating expense, was $21,804 for the year ended September 30, 1997
compared to $24,292 for the year ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of 10%.  
This decrease is attributable primarily to normal fluctuations in operating 
costs.

     The unusual expenses for the year ended September 30, 1997 represents
estimated costs of settlement of a claim relating to gas prices during the 
years 1983 through 1985.

     General and administrative expense for the year ended September 30, 1997
was $133,836 compared to $110,195 for the year ended September 30, 1996.  The
increase was primarily the result of an increase in salary expense.

     Dry hole expense increased as a result of additional participation in 
exploratory wells.

year ended September 30, 1996 compared to $28,326 for the year ended September
30, 1995, an increase of 20%.  This increase is attributable to a general 
increase in operating costs during 1996.

     General and administrative expense for the year ended September 30, 1996
was $110,195 compared to $122,146 for the year ended September 30, 1995.
Approximately $9,000 of this $12,000 decrease in general and administrative 
expense was from reduced salary expense and the balance of the decrease 
resulted from a decrease activity level of oil and gas leasing and prospect 
generation.

     Depreciation and depletion expense for the year ended September 30, 1996
was $30,592 compared to $47,129 for the year ended September 30, 1995, a 
decrease of 35%.  This decrease is the result of a decrease in oil and gas 
production quantities sold and reduced capitalized costs due to an impairment
provision recorded for the year ended September 30, 1995.

Year Ended September 30, 1995 Compared With Year Ended September 30, 1994:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating Revenue
-----------------

     Revenue from oil and gas sales for the year ended September 30, 1995 was 
$95,648 compared to $127,240 for the year ended September 30, 1994.  This
decrease is attributable to a decrease in revenue for gas of approximately
$47,100 (-43%) offset by an increase in revenue for oil of approximately
$15,500 (+92%) sold in 1995 compared to 1994.  The increase in sales volumes
was primarily the result of producing property acquisitions during the year
ended September 30, 1994.  The decrease in gas revenue is primarily due to the
sale of a producing property in 1994 and lower prices per MCF for gas sold.

     A comparison of volumes sold and average unit prices is summarized as 
follows:


                              YEAR ENDED SEPT. 30

was $122,146 compared to $144,401 for the year ended September 30, 1994.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               Years Ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995


(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------
     (a)  Nature of operations
          --------------------
          The Company is engaged in the oil and gas business which consists of
          acquiring, exploring, developing, selling and operating oil and gas
          properties.  The Company's oil and gas activities are subject to 
          existing Federal, state and local environmental laws, rules and
          regulations.  All of the Company's activities are in the United 
          States, primarily Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming.  The Company's oil
          and gas production is sold to several purchasers, three of which
          purchase more than 10 percent of oil and gas revenues.

     (b)  Use of estimates
          ----------------
          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
          disclosures.  Oil and gas reserve estimates are inherently imprecise
          and are continually subject to revisions based on production
          history, results of additional exploration and development, price of
          oil and gas and other factors.  Accordingly actual results could
          differ from those estimates.

     (c)  Property and equipment
          ----------------------
          The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting.
          Lease acquisition and development costs (tangible and intangible)
          for expenditures relating to proved oil and gas properties are
          capitalized.  Delay and surface rentals are charged to expense in
          the year incurred.  Dry hole costs incurred on exploratory
          operations are expensed.  Dry hole costs associated with developing
          proved fields are capitalized.  Expenditures for additions,
          betterments, and renewals are capitalized.  Geological and
          geophysical costs are expensed when incurred.

          Upon sale or retirement of proved properties, the cost thereof and
          the accumulated depreciation or depletion are removed from the
          accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.
          Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses.

          Provisions for depreciation and depletion of capitalized exploration
          and development costs are computed on the unit-of-production method
          based on estimated proved developed reserves of oil and gas on a 
          property by property basis.  An additional impairment provision is
          recorded if the recoverability of the carrying amount of an asset
          may not be recoverable (see Note (1) (d) for additional information)

          Unproved properties are assessed periodically to determine whether
          they are impaired.  When impairment occurs, an impairment loss is
          recognized.  When leases for unproved properties expire, any
          remaining cost is expensed.

          Depreciation on office equipment is provided using accelerated
          methods with estimated useful lives of five to seven years.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
  

     (d)  Accounting Change
          -----------------
          In the fourth quarter of the 1995 fiscal year, the Company adopted
          the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
          121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
          Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121) which requires an
          impairment provision if future estimated cash flows are less than the
          carrying amount of the assets on a property by property basis.
          Restatement of previously issued financial statements is not
          permitted under SFAS 121.  When SFAS 121 was adopted, the carrying
          amount of certain individual proved oil and gas properties was in
          excess of future estimated cash flow.  An impairment provision of
          $31,052 was charged to operating expenses in the Statement of 
          Operations for the year ended September 30, 1995 based on the
          difference between estimated fair market value and carrying amount
          of the properties.  Estimated fair market value was based on 
          discounted estimated cash flow from the properties.  Prior to the
          adoption of the new Standard, a valuation provision was made only if
          total capitalized costs of all proved oil and gas properties
          exceeded the present value of future net revenues from estimated 
          production of all proved oil and gas reserves using constant
          prices discounted at 10%.

     (e)  Statements of cash flows
          ------------------------
          For purposes of the accompanying statements of cash flows, the
          Company considers cash and other highly liquid instruments purchased
          with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     (f)  Fair value of financial instruments
          -----------------------------------
          The Company's financial investments consist of cash, trade 
          receivables and trade payables.  The carrying value of cash and cash
          equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables are considered to
          be representative of their fair market value, due to the short 
          maturity of these instruments.

     (g)  Net loss per common share
          -------------------------
          Net loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average
          number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the 
          period.  Common stock equivalents, consisting of options, have not 
          been considered in the computation because they would have reduced
          the net loss per share.  The net loss per share includes the effect
          of unpaid dividends on cumulative preferred shares of $8,040 or $.06
          per share of preferred stock (See Note 3).

          No options were exercised during the 1997, 1996 or 1995 fiscal years.

          The Company has elected to account for grants of stock options under 
          APB Opinion No. 25.  No compensation cost has been recognized on the
          statements of operations through September 30, 1997 for stock options
          granted.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, 
          "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", (SFAS No.123) requires
          compensation expense to be determined based on the fair value, as 
          defined, of options at the grant date.  Pro forma net earnings and 
          pro forma earnings per share must be disclosed based on the 
          additional compensation expense.  The provisions of SFAS No. 123 are
          effective for the Company's 1996 and 1997 fiscal years.  No options 
          were granted during the 1996 fiscal year.  For the 1997 fiscal year,
          additional compensation expense under SFAS No. 123 would have 
          increased the net loss from $116,497 to a pro forma net loss of 
          $118,278.  The additional compensation expense did not change the net
          loss per share of $.03.  The pro forma adjustment is calculated using
          an estimated fair market value of each option on the date of grant 
          based upon an expected life of 10 years, risk-free interest rate of
          6.3%, expected dividend yield and volatility of 0%.

(5)  Income Taxes
     ------------
          For tax reporting purposes, after giving effect to ownership changes
          that occured in the 1993 fiscal year, the Company has a net operating
          loss carryforward of approximately $440,000 at September 30, 1997,
          which expires in varying amounts from September 30, 1998 through 
          2012.  Of the $440,000 carryforward, $64,000 is subject to an annual 
          limitation of approximately $6,400 and $150,000 is available only if 
          certain built in gains are recognized by September 30, 1998.  
          Differences between income tax and financial statement basis of 
          assets consists of basis difference of oil and gas properties 
          ($48,800) as a result of a purchase acquisition in the 1993 fiscal 
          year and intangible drilling costs ($10,900) which are expensed for 
          tax purposes.

          Benefit relating to the net operating loss carryforward has not been
          reflected as a net deferred tax asset because the limited carryover
          period combined with the history of losses of the Company make it 
          more likely than not that the net operating losses will not be 
          utilized by the Company prior to their expiration.

          Components of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets of the
          Company are comprised of the following at September 30, 1997:

               Gross deferred tax liabilities:
                    Proved properties
                      basis differences                             $( 20,300)
               Gross deferred tax assets:
                    Net operating loss carryforward                   149,600
                    Valuation allowance for deferred
                      tax assets                                     (129,300)
                                                                      -------

          CLX Exploration, a predecessor Company, has not filed state income 
          tax returns for the years ended September 30, 1983 through 1992.  The
          Company has filed its federal and state income tax returns for the 
          fiscal years ended September 30, 1993 through 1996.

          from the Company.

          rent is $1,113 and the lease expires May 31, 1998.  Rent expense for 
          all operating leases totaled $13,614, $15,172 and $13,728 during

     ---------------
          During the periods ended September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 the 
          Company had four major customers, each of which acquired 10% or more
          of total oil and gas revenues:

(9)  Contingency and Unusual Expenses
     --------------------------------
          The Company has been advised by Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company
          that on September 10, 1997 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
          (FERC) issued an order that requires first sellers of gas to make 
          refunds for all Kansas Ad Valorem tax reimbursements collected for
          the period from October 3, 1983 through June 28, 1988, with interest.

          This claim resulted from a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
          (FERC) order issued September 10, 1997 which stated that ad valorem
          tax levied by the State of Kansas could not be considered as an 
          add-on the Maximum Lawful Price (MLP) of gas sold under the NGPA of 
          1978 covering the period from October 3, 1983 through June 28, 1988.
          This order reversed the FERC rules in effect during that time period 
          that ad valorem taxes paid to the State of Kansas by producers could 
          recover from the pipeline company by the producers over and above the
          MLP of gas sold under the guidelines set forth in the NGPA of 1978.

          The predecessor of the Company, Calvin Exploration Inc. was operator
          of certain Kansas gas wells during the period covered by the order.
          Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company has advised the Company that
          Calvin Exploration Inc., as first seller, was paid $57,732 in Kansas
          Ad Valorem taxes.  The Company was also advised that as successor in 
          interest to the first seller, the amount of the refund that must be 
          repaid with interest will approximate $196,000 on the due date of 
          March 9, 1998 (approximately $186,000 at September 30, 1997.)

          The Company believes that, based on the law as it exists today, its
          liability is limited to its ownership percentage.  The Company 
          recorded unusual expense of $45,000 in connection with the FERC 
          claim, including interest and estimated legal expenses.  This is 
          presented separately as a component of operating expenses in the 
          statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 1997.

          The Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association (KIOGA) has intervened
          with the FERC requesting elimination of the interest charge on the 
          claimed refunds.  The interest amounts to approximately 70% of the 
          total refunds claimed.  Bills have been introduced in both the U. S. 
          House of Representatives and Senate seeking the same relief.

     ---------------------------------------------------------
          The following reserve related information for 1997, 1996 and 1995 is
          based on estimates prepared by management of the Company.  Reserve
          estimates are inherently imprecise and are continually subject to
          revisions based on production history, results of additional
          exploration and development, price of oil and gas and other factors.
          All of the Company's oil and gas reserves are located in the United 
          States.

          The following is the standardized measure of discounted future net
          cash flows and changes therein relating to proved oil and gas 
          reserves.  Future net cash flows were computed using year-end prices
          and costs related to existing proved oil and gas reserves in which
          the Company has mineral interests.  No future income tax expense was
          provided due to the Federal income tax carryover.  All of the 
          reserves are located in the United States.
