                  BLACK WARRIOR WIRELINE CORP. AND SUBSIDARY
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       GENERAL

         The  accompanying   consolidat  ed  financial  statements  reflect  all
adjustments  that,  in the  opinion  of  management,  are  necessary  for a fair
presentation of the consolidated  financial position,  results of operations and
cash flows of Black Warrior Wireline Corp. and subsidiary (the "Company").  Such
adjustments are of a normal  recurring  nature.  The  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue
as a going concern.  The  consolidated  financial  statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  See Note 17
of the Company's  Annual  Report of Form 10-KSB for the year ended  December 31,
1998.  The  results of  operations  for the interim  period are not  necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company's Annual
Report of Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 should be read
in conjunction with this document.

         The  Company  is an oil and gas  service  company  currently  providing
various  services to oil and gas well  operators  primarily  in the  continental
United  States  and in the Gulf of  Mexico.  The  Company's  principal  lines of
business  include  (a)  wireline  services,  (b)  directional  oil and gas  well
drilling activities,  and (c) workover services. The Company's recent growth has
been principally the result of seven acquisitions completed since November 1996,
including two acquisitions in 1998.

         On March 16, 1998, the Company acquired from Phoenix Drilling Services,
Inc.,  ("Phoenix")  the  assets  of its  domestic  oil and gas well  directional
drilling  and downhole  survey  service  business  ("Phoenix  Acquisition")  for
approximately  $19  million.  For  financial  statement  purposes,  the  Phoenix
Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly,  Phoenix's results
are  included  in the  consolidated  financial  statements  since  the  date  of
acquisition.  The  excess  of the  purchase  price of  Phoenix  over net  assets
acquired,  goodwill,  approximated  $2.76 million and was being  amortized  over
twenty-five  years.  During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company assessed the
recoverability  of long-lived  assets,  which includes  assets  purchased in the
Phoenix Acquisition.  The Company concluded the goodwill and certain inventories
and property,  plant and equipment related to its directional  drilling business
were  impaired.  As a  result  of  this  impairment,  the  Company  recorded  an
impairment charge of approximately  $11.1 million in the fourth quarter of 1998.
This  impairment  charge  included  reducing  the goodwill  associated  with the
Phoenix  Acquisition to $0, as well as the writedowns of certain inventories and
property,  plant and  equipment.  See Note 19 in the Company's  Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended  December 31, 1998. On June 1, 1998,  the Company
acquired Petro Wireline ("Petro  Acquisition")  which is engaged in the wireline
business in the four corners  region of New Mexico,  Colorado,  Utah and Arizona
for $875,000.  For  financial  statement  purposes,  the Petro  Acquisition  was
accounted  for as a purchase  and,  accordingly,  Petro  Wireline's  results are
included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.
The excess of the purchase  price of Petro  Wireline  over net assets  acquired,
goodwill, approximated $87,000 and is being amortized over twenty-five years.

         Options and warrants to purchase  19,539,747  shares of common stock at
prices  ranging  from $1.50 to $8.01 were  outstanding  during the three  months
ended March 31, 1999 but were not  included  in the  computation  of diluted EPS
because the effect would be anti-dilutive.  Options to purchase 12,500 shares of
common stock at $8.01 per share were  outstanding  during the three months ended
March 31, 1998 but are not  included in the  computation  of diluted EPS because
the effect would be anti-dilutive.

          Convertible  debt  instruments  which would  result in the issuance of
12,933,333 and 2,054,556 shares of common stock, if the conversion features were
exercised,  were  outstanding  during the three  months ended March 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively,  but were not included in the computation of the diluted EPS
because  the  effect  would  be  anti-dilutive.  The  conversion  price of these
instruments  is $1.50 per share and these  instruments  remained  outstanding at
March 31, 1999.

3.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories consist of tool components,  subassemblies,  and expendable
parts use in directional  oil and gas well drilling  activities.  Once tools are
manufactured  and  assembled,  they  are  transferred  to  property,  plant  and
equipment at the total cost of components,  subassemblies,  and expendable parts
of each tool. Components, subassemblies, and expendable parts are capitalized as
inventory  and expensed as tools are repaired and  maintained.  Inventories  are
classified  as a long-term  asset rather than a current  asset as is  consistent
with industry practice.

4.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to offer an aggregate
of  772,727  common  shares  to  certain  persons  who  purchased  shares of the
Company's  common  stock at a price of $5.50 per share in  private  sales of the
Company's securities which occurred in March and April 1998. Such persons assert
excessive  delays were encountered in effecting the registration of their shares
under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  and that therefore such persons
were unable to liquidate  their  securities.  The Company  disagrees  with these
assertions  but has agreed to the  issuance of the shares to resolve any claims.
The shares are to be issued in consideration of the release of these claims. The
offering of shares of common stock to such  persons  commenced on April 27, 1999
and is scheduled to expire on May 28, 1999.

         On December  15,  1998,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  with
Measurement  Specialists,  Inc.  (MSI) to create  an  alliance  between  the two
companies.  This  agreement  contains an option for the Company to acquire  MSI.
Both the alliance  and the option to purchase  were to expire on April 15, 1999.
The  agreeement  was extended on April 15, 1999 through  September 30, 1999. The
alliance  between  the Company  and MSI was  effective  December 1, 1998 and was
created in order to pursure  Measurement While Drilling services using the tools
and equipment owned or leased by the Company,  employees of the Company, and the
technology  of MSI.  During  the term of the  alliance,  the  Company  will rent
equipment and inventory  from MSI, with a monthly  rental payment of $12,206 and
$15,000,  respectively.  The agreement  grants the Company the option to acquire
substantially all of the assets of MSI. If the option is exercised,  the Company
agrees to pay MSI $74,982 in cash, 144,445 shares of common stock of the Company
of which 50,000  shares have been  previously  issued to MSI, and payment of the
notes payable not to exceed $479,416. Under the original agreement, the owner of
MSI would be employed by the Company for four months.  If the option to purchase
MSI is not exercised, then the employment agreement terminates.

         The Company and certain of its officers and directors  are  respondents
in an arbitration  proceeding commenced by Monetary Advancements  International,
Inc.  before the American  Arbitration  Association  in New York,  New York. The
claimant seeks to recompense against the Company and other named respondents for
the alleged  failure to pay  compensation  in the form of shares of stock of the
Company for servcies  allegedly  rendered.  The  respondents  have  submitted an

                                       8
<PAGE>
answer and couterclaims  and have initiated a Count  proceeding  seeking partial
stay of the  arbitration  proceeding.  The Company deems the  allegations of the
claimant  to be  without  merit and  intends  to  vigorously  contest  the case.
Management  does not believe the ultimate  outcome of these  actions will have a
materially  adverse effct on the  consolidated  financial  position,  results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.

         On July 9, 1998, Southwick Investments Inc.  ("Southwick")  commenced a
lawsuit  against the Company in the Superior  Court of Fulton  County,  Georgia,
based on a Professional  Services  Agreement dated March 26, 1997,  entered into
between Southwick and the Company pursuant to which Southwick was to develop and
implement a plan for raising  additional  capital and provide certain  financial
advisory services.  Southwick is seeking to be awarded damages in an unspecified
amount for breach of contract and the loss in value to Southwick of an option to
purchase  50,000 shares of the common stock of the Company at an exercise  price
of $4.00 per share,  together with court costs and attorney's  fees. The Company
intends  to defed  this  action  vigorously  and  believes  that it has good and
meritorious defenses.  Management does not believe the ultimate outcome of these
actions will have a materially  effect on the consolidated  financial  position,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

         The  Company is a defendant  in a lawsuit  served on the Company on May
10, 1999 instituted in the District Court,  Montgomery County, Texas by Bendover
Company (formerly known as Diamondback  Directional,  Inc.). In the action,  the
plaintiff  is seeking to recover  the sum of  $3,070,301,  plus  interest,  post
-default interest and attorney's fees, on a promissory note of the Company dated
September 1, 1997. The promissory note was executed by the Company in connection
with the  purchase  of the  assets  of the  plantiff.  The  Company  intends  to
interpose  defenses to the lawsuit and to assert  counterclaims.  The Company is
successful in its action or the likelihood that the counterclaims intended to be
asserted by the Company will be successful.

         The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit served on the Company on May 7,
1999 instituted in the District Court of Fort Bend County,  Texas by Dreco, Inc.
seeking to recover  payment  for goods and  services  allegedly  provided by the
plaintiff  to the  defendant.  The  plaintiff  is seeking to recover  the sum of
$876,802  plus  interest and  attorney's  fees.  The Company  intends to file an
answer in this action  interposing  defenses and  asserting  counterclaims.  The
Company is unable to state at this time  whether or not the  plaintiff is likely
to be  successful in its action or whether the Company will be successful on its
counterclaims.

         The  Company is a defendant  is a lawsuit  served on the Company on May
17, 1999 instituted in the District Court of Montgomery County,  Texas by Thomas
Tools,  Inc.  seeking the recover  payment for tools  allegedly  provided by the
plaintiff  to the  defendant.  The  plaintiff  is seeking to recover  the sum of
$156,534  plus  interest and  consequential  damages and  attorney's  fees.  The
Company is at present considering the claims asserted in this litigation.

         The  Company is a  defendant  is seven  other  lawsuits  instituted  by
vendors and others  seeking to recover an aggregate of  approximately  $135,000.
Although the Company is seeking to resolve these claims,  in the light nature of
the claims  asserted,  the Company  considers it likely that  judgements  may be
entered against it in these actions.

         The Company  receives demands from creditors for payment of outstanding
payables,  as well as other claims.  These  creditors  may institute  additional
lawsuits  against the Company.  There can be no assurance that judgments may not
be entered against the Company arising out of such lawsuits, if instituted.

         The Company is a defendant  in various  legal  actions in the  ordinary
course of business.  Management  does not believe the ultimate  outcome of these
actions  will have a materially  adverse  effect on the  consolidated  financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

         At March 31,  1999,  the Company  was not in  compliance  with  certain
financial  covenants  of its Amended and Restated  Loan and  Security  Agreement
dated October 30, 1998 and its  Forbearance  Agreement and Amendment to Loan and
Security Agreement dated February 17, 1999, both with Fleet Capital Corporation.
See Part II, Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities in this Quarterly Report.

5.     SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

       At March 31,  1999,  the  Company is  organized  into,  and  manages  its
business based on the performance  of, five business  units.  The business units
have separate management teams and infrastructures  that offer different oil and
gas well services. The business units have been aggregated into three reportable
segments: wireline,  directional drilling, and workover and completion since the
long-term  financial  performance  of these  reportable  segments is affected by
similar economic conditions.

       WIRELINE - This  segment  consists  of two  business  units that  perform
various  procedures to evaluate  downhole  conditions at different stages of the
process of drilling and  completing  oil and gas wells as well as various  times
thereafter  until the well is depleted and  abandoned.  This segment  engages in
onshore  and  offshore  servicing,  as well as other  oil and gas  well  service
activities including renting and repairing equipment.  The principal markets for
this  segment  include  all major oil and gas  producing  regions  of the United
States.  Major  customers of this segment for the quarter  ending March 31, 1999
included Collins & Ware, Inc., Burlington Resources, and Chevron Corp.

       DIRECTIONAL  DRILLING - This segment  consists of two business units. One
unit performs  procedures to enter an oil producing  zone  directionally,  using
specialized drilling equipment, and expand the area of interface of hydrocarbons
and thereby  greatly  enhances  recoverability  of oil. The second business unit
engages in oil and gas well surveying activities. The principal markets for this
segment  include all major oil and gas producing  regions of the United  States.
Major  customers of this segment for the quarter  ending March 31, 1999 included
Phillips Petroleum, Jones Energy, Arco Oil & Gas, and Chesapeake.

       WORKOVER AND  COMPLETION - This  segment  consists of a business  unit in
which  services  include  those  operations  performed on wells when  originally
completed or on wells previously  placed in production and requiring  additional
work to restore or increase production. The principal market for this segment is
the Black Warrior Basin of Alabama.  The major  customer of this segment for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 was Energen Resources.

       The accounting  policies of the reportable segments are the same as those
described in Note 2 of the Company's Annual Report of Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended  December 31, 1998.  The Company  evaluates  the  performance  of its
operating segments based on earnings before interest, taxes,  depreciation,  and
amortization (EBITDA), which is derived from revenues less

6.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The Company  opened a wireline  facility in South Texas in January 1999
primarily to service a customer who has some common  ownership with the Company.
During the three  months  ended March 31,  1999,  this  customer  accounted  for
approximately 6.25% of total revenues.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

         The Company's consolidated results of operations are affected primarily
by the extent of  utilization  and rates paid for its  services  and  equipment.
Revenues are also affected by the success of the  Company's  efforts to increase
its  penetration of the market for its services by intensified  marketing of its
services. Incremental demand for the Company's services is affected by the level
of oil and  natural  gas  well  drilling  activity  and  efforts  by oil and gas
producers to improve well production and operating efficiencies. Both short-term
and long-term trends in oil and natural gas prices affect the utilization of the
Company's services. Declines in 1998 and early 1999 in the prevailing prices for
oil and natural gas adversely impacted the Company's operations. These lower oil
and gas prices have  negatively  impacted the  Company's  revenues for the three
months ended

                                       11
<PAGE>
March 31, 1999.  Management  of the Company  expects that prices for oil and gas
will  continue  to be  volatile  and to affect the demand for and pricing of the
Company's services.  A further material decline in oil or gas prices or industry
activity  in the  United  States  could have a  material  adverse  effect on the
Company's  consolidated  results of  operations,  financial  condition  and cash
flows.

RESULTS OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED

         The following  table sets forth the  Company's  revenues from its three
principal lines of business for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998:

                                =================================


         Total revenues decreased by approximately $3.6 million to approximately
$6.1  million  for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1999 as compared to total
revenues of  approximately  $9.7  million for the three  months  ended March 31,
1998.  The decrease in directional  drilling  revenues was the result of reduced
demand  for the  Company's  services  and  downward  pressure  on  pricing  that
primarily  resulted  from the  decline  in oil and gas  prices in 1998 and early
1999. The Company's  wireline  revenues also were adversely  affected by reduced
demand and downward pressure on pricing,  however,  this was more than offset by
increased activity from wireline locations opened or acquired in the past year.

         Operating costs decreased by  approximately  $1.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999,  as compared to the same period of 1998.  Operating
costs  were 91.5% of  revenues  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 as
compared  with 75.2% of revenues in the same period in 1998.  The  decrease  was
primarily  the  result of the lower  overall  level of  activities  in the first
quarter of 1999  compared  with  1998.  The  increase  in  operating  costs as a
percentage  of revenues was  primarly  because of  declining  billing  rates and
equipment utilization. Salaries and benefits increased by $505,960 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999,  as compared to the same period in 1998,  while the
total number of employees  decreased  from 317 at March 31, 1998 to 221 at March
31, 1999.  The  increase in salaries and benefits is primarily  due to the March
1998 Phoenix  Acquisition,  the June 1998 Petro  Wireline  Acquisition,  and the
establishment  of the  offshore  wireline  facility in July 1998.  The number of
employees  was  higher  than at March 31,  1998 than at March 31, 199 due to the
significant  addition of  employees  in  connection  with the March 1998 Phoenix
Acquisition.

         Selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased by $10,677 from
$840,679  in the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 to  $830,002 in the three
months ended March 31, 1999. As a percentage of revenues,  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses increased from 8.7% in the three months ended March 31,
1998 to 13.7% in 1999,  primarily as a result of lower than anticipated revenues
due to adverse  market  conditions  with an  increased  level of fixed  expenses
associated with the recent acquisitions.

         Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  from  $809,690 in the three
months ended March 31, 1998, or 8.4% of revenues,  to approximately $1.3 million
in 1999 or 21.8% of  revenues,

                                       12
<PAGE>

primarily  because of the higher  asset base of  depreciable  properties  in the
three month period ended March 31, 1999 over the same period in 1998.

         Interest  expense  and  amortization  of  debt  discount  increased  by
$409,580  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 as  compared to the same
period  in  1998.  This  was  directly  related  to  the  increased  amounts  of
indebtedness outstanding in 1999. See "Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements"  in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1998.

         Net loss on sale of fixed  assets was $9,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to a net gain of $1,944 for the same period in 1998.

         The  Company  had  a  loss  before   provision   for  income  taxes  of
approximately  $2.5  million  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999,  as
compared to income  before  provision  for income taxes of $344,296 for the same
period in 1998.

         Income tax expense totaled $0 for the three months ended March 31, 1999
as compared to income tax expense of $183,619  for the three  months ended March
31,  1998.  These totals  contain  Federal and State  deferred  taxes as well as
current amounts.

         The Company had a net loss of approximately  $2.5 million for the three
months  ended March 31,  1999,  as compared to a net income of $150,677  for the
same period in 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Cash used by the Company's operating  activities was approximately $1.4
million for the three months  ended March 31, 1999 as compared to cash  provided
of  $766,649  for the same  period in 1998.  Investing  activities  used cash of
$223,605  during the three  months ended March 31, 1999 for the  acquisition  of
property, plant and equipment,  offset by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets
of $26,000.  During the three months ended March 31, 1998,  investing activities
used cash of approximately  $2.0 million for the acquisition of property,  plant
and  equipment  and  businesses,  net of cash  acquired,  offset by  proceeds of
$28,970 from the sale of fixed assets. Financing activities provided net cash of
$938,789 from the proceeds from bank and other borrowings of approximately  $2.5
million  during  the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999  offset by  principal
payments on bank, other borrowings and capital leases of $394,209,  net payments
on working capital revolver of  approximately  $1.1 million and $37,868 of costs
related to debt  issuances.  For the same  period in 1998  financing  activities
provided net cash of  approximately  $2.7 million from the net proceeds from the
issuance of common stock of  approximately  $2.8  million and $520,373  from the
proceeds from bank and other  borrowings  offset by principal  payments on bank,
other borrowings and capital lease obligations of $449,936 and $135,000 of costs
related to debt issuances.

         Cash at March 31, 1999 was $369,214 as compared  with cash at March 31,
1998 of approximately $1.9 million.

         During 1998 and the first  quarter of 1999,  the Company  experienced a
decline in the demand for its products and services as a result of a significant
decrease in the price of oil and natural gas.  The decline in demand  materially
impacted  the  Company's  revenues,  liquidity  and its  ability  to  remain  in
compliance with covenants in its loan agreements and meet its obligations during
the  last  half of 1998  and  first  quarter  of 1999.  While  these  conditions
continued  throughout  much of the first  quarter  of 1999,  prices  for oil and
natural  gas had  improved  significantly  by the

                                       13
<PAGE>

middle  of the  second  quarter.  Management  of the  Company  believes  that an
improvement  in its  revenues  will be  dependent  upon a  continuing  period of
stabilized pricing at levels similar to those at the end of the first quarter of
1999 and  decisions  by oil and natural gas  producers  to make  commitments  to
engage in oil and natural gas well enhancements.

         The  Company's  outstanding   indebtedness  includes  primarily  senior
indebtedness aggregating  approximately $15.8 million at March 31, 1999, owed to
Fleet Capital Corporation ("Fleet") and GE Capital Corporation  ("GECC"),  other
indebtedness of approximately $5.3 million,  and $19.4 million owed to St. James
Capital Partners, L.P. ("SJCP") and its affiliates.  All of this indebtedness is
shown as currently due and payable on the Company's  consolidated  balance sheet
at March 31,  1999.  In  addition,  the Company is  currently  in default on its
indebtedness  owing  to  Fleet.  See  Part  II,  Item 3.  Defaults  Upon  Senior
Securities in this Quarterly Report.

         Management's  plans with respect to  addressing  its current  financial
situation include primarily the following:

o     In March 1999 the Company  borrowed an  additional  $2.5  million  from an
      affiliate of SJCP, the Company's principal investor.

o     The  Company is engaged in efforts to  refinance  its senior  indebtedness
      which is intended to provide, among other things, more favorable terms and
      thereby improve liquidity.

o     In March 1999, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with Fleet
      Capital Corp.  which,  among other things,  permitted the Company to defer
      payments of principal to Fleet through June 30, 1999.

o     In April 1999,  GECC agreed to defer  payments of interest on an aggregate
      of $3.9 million of secured indebtedness through June 30, 1999.

o     The Company  has  continued  through the first  quarter of 1999 to further
      implement a cost reduction  program first  implemented in the last half of
      1998 and intends to  continue  its focus on cost  reduction  opportunities
      through 1999.

         Management also intends to raise additional capital in conjunction with
the foregoing plan,  which may be either debt or equity capital or a combination
thereof,   which,  together  with  the  renegotiations  of  certain  outstanding
indebtedness,  will be  used  to meet  the  Company's  other  current  liquidity
requirements.  Management  expects  that,  upon  conclusion  of  the  plan,  its
indebtedness   owing  to  SJCP  will  be  long-term  or  converted  into  equity
securities.

         Management  believes  that,  provided oil and natural gas prices remain
relatively  stable with prices that  existed at the end of the first  quarter of
1999, the foregoing plan together with the cost reduction program implemented in
1998, which included reductions in personnel and salaries of existing personnel,
closing and  consolidating  certain district  offices,  together with other cost
reduction activities,  should enable the Company to operate, commencing with the
second  quarter  of 1999,  without  a  further  deterioration  of its  liquidity
condition.

         Management  of the  Company  is unable to assure  that its  efforts  to
implement the plan  described  above will be successful or state the terms under
which or when the proposed  transactions will be completed.  Management  expects
that in order to  complete  such  transactions  substantial


                                       14

<PAGE>
amounts of equity  securities  may be required to be issued which may materially
dilute the Company's existing stockholders.

         The  Company is a defendant  in a lawsuit  served on the Company on May
10, 1999 instituted in the District Court,  Montgomery County, Texas by Bendover
Company (formerly known as Diamondback  Directional,  Inc.). In the action,  the
plaintiff  is  seeking  to  recover  the  sum  of  $3,070,301,   plus  interest,
post-default  interest and attorney's  fees, on a promissory note of the Company
date  September  1, 1997.  The  promissory  note was  executed by the Company in
connection with the purchase of the assets of the plaintiff. The Company intends
to interpose defenses to the lawsuit and to assert counterclaims. The Company is
unable  to state at this  time  whether  or not the  plaintiff  is  likely to be
successsful in its action or the likelihood that the  counterclaims  intended to
be asserted by the Company will be successful.

         The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit served on the Company on May 7,
1999 instituted in the District Court of Fort Bend County,  Texas by Dreco, Inc.
seeking to recover  payment  for gods and  services  allegedly  provided  by the
plaintiff  to the  defendant.  The  plaintiff  is seeking to recover  the sum of
$876,802  plus  interest and  attorney's  fees.  The Company  intends to file an
answer in this action  interposing  defenses and  asserting  counterclaims.  The
Company is unable to state at this time  whether or not the  plaintiff is likely
to be successful in this action or whether the Company will be successful on its
counterclaims.

         The  Company is a defendant  in a lawsuit  served on the Company on May
17, 1999 instituted in the District Court of Montgomery County,  Texas by Thomas
Tools,  Inc.  seeking to recover  payment  for tools  allegedly  provided by the
plaintiff  to the  defendant.  The  plaintiff  is seeking to recover  the sum of
$156,534  plus  interest and  consequential  damages and  attorney's  fees.  The
Company is at present considering the claims asserted in this litigation.

         The  Company is a  defendant  in seven  other  lawsuits  instituted  by
vendors and others  seeking to recover an aggregate of  approximately  $135,000.
Although  the Company is seeking to resolve  these  claims,  in the light of the
nature of the claims  asserted,  the Company  considers it likely that judgments
may be entered against it in these actions.

         The Company  receives demands from creditors for payment of outstanding
payables,  as well as other claims.  These  creditors  may institute  additional
lawsuits  against the Company.  There can be no assurance that judgments may not
be entered against the Company arising out of such lawsuits, if instituted.

         With the  exception  of the MSI Option,  the Company has no  definitive
agreements  to  acquire  any  additional  companies.  However,  there  can be no
assurance that the Company will not acquire additional  companies in the future,
or that any such  acquisitions,  if made, will be benficial to the Company.  The
process of integrating  acquired  properties  into the Company's  operations may
result in unforeseen  difficulties and may require a disproportionate  amount of
management's   attention  and  the  Company's  resources.   In  connection  with
acquisitions,  the Company  could become  subject to  significant  contigent the
Company assumes,  or an acquired entity becomes liable for, unknown or contigent
liabilities  or in the event that such  liabilities  are  imposed on the Company
under theories of successor liability.

         The Company intends to fund its  acquisitions  using cash flow from its
current  operations as well as the possible  proceeds from secured  lending from
banks or other institutional  lenders and the private or public sale of debt and
equity  securities.  Any such  capital that is raised will be on terms

                                       15
<PAGE>

yet to be  negotiated  and may be on terms that dilute the  interests of current
stockholders  of the  Company.  Subject  to the  restrictions  contained  in the
Company's existing loan agreement with Fleet Capital  Corporation,  loans may be
collateralized by all or a substantial  portion of the Company's  assets.  There
can be no assurance  that the Company will raise  additional  capital when it is
required or that the Company will have or be able to raise sufficient capital to
fund its acquisition strategy.

YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUES

         Computer  hardware and software  often denote the year using two digits
rather than four;  for example,  the year 1998 is often denoted by such hardware
and software as "98." It is probable  that such  hardware  and/or  software will
interpret  "00" as  representing  the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This
"Year 2000" issue potentially affects all individuals and companies. The Company
has and continues to evaluate its information  technology systems,  hardware and
non-information  technology systems to assess  modifications needed for the Year
2000.  These systems  include those  utilized for  financial  recordkeeping  and
certain  oil and gas  service  equipment.  A member  of  senior  management  was
selected to oversee the Year 2000  project.  The project work plan  involves the
following phases:  inventory of critical and non-critical  systems and hardware,
assessment and  certification of third party systems.  The Company has completed
its  inventory of systems and  hardware.  All critical  systems are supported by
third party vendors. The Company is currently in the process of certifying these
systems with the vendors.  With respect to other third party relationships,  the
Company is inquiring of certain vendors, customers, and other third parties that
supply critical services to determine their preparedness and ability to continue
normal operations.

         To date,  the Company has incurred  minimal  costs  related to the Year
2000 project and does not  anticipate any  significant  additional  costs.  Such
costs are expensed as incurred.

         Management  expects  that  Year  2000  issues  will be  addressed  on a
schedule  and in a manner that will  prevent  such issues from having a material
effect  on the  Company's  consolidated  results  of  operations,  liquidity  or
financial condition. While the Company has and will continue to pursue Year 2000
compliance,  there  can be no  assurance  that  the  Company  and  its  vendors,
customers  and other  third  parties  which  supply  critical  services  will be
successful in identifying  and  addressing all material Year 2000 issues.  It is
possible  that  the  Company's  consolidated  financial  position,   results  of
operations,  or cash flows could be disrupted by Year 2000 problems  experienced
by its vendors and customers, that utilize its services,  financial institutions
or other parties.  The Company is unable to quantify the effect, if any, of Year
2000 computer problems that may be experienced by these third parties.

INFLATION

         The  Company's  revenues  have been and are  expected to continue to be
affected by fluctuations in the prices for oil and gas.  Inflationary  pressures
did not have a  significant  effect  on the  Company's  operations  in the three
months ended March 31, 1999.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133,  Accounting for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities  (SFAS No.
133).  SFAS No. 133  requires all  derivatives  to be measured at fair value and
recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. Changes in such
fair value are required to be recognized immediately in net income (loss) to the
extent the  derivatives  are not effective as hedges.  SFAS No. 133 is effective
for fiscal  years  beginning  after June 15, 1999 and is  effective  for interim
periods in the initial year of adoption. The Company does not currently hold any
derivative financial instruments.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE
SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.

         With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this
Report are "forward-looking statements" as defined under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended,  that involve risks and uncertainties.  Forward-looking
statements  include,  but are not  limited  to, the  matters  described  herein,
including  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis or Plan of  Operations.  Such
forward-looking statements relate to the Company's ability to implement its plan
for the  restructuring  and  refinancing  of its  outstanding  indebtedness,  to
maintain,  implement  and, if  appropriate,  expand its cost  reduction  program
instituted in 1998, to generate  revenues and attain and maintain  profitability
and cash flow, improvement in, stability and level of prices for oil and natural
gas,  pricing  in the oil and  gas  services  industry  and the  willingness  of
customers  to commit for oil and natural gas well  services,  the ability of the
Company to compete in the premium services market, the ability of the Company to
redeploy its equipment among regional operations,  the ability of the Company to
provide services using the newly acquired state of the art tooling,  the ability
of the  Company  to raise  additional  capital to meet its  requirements  and to
maintain  compliance  with the covenants of its various loan documents and other
agreements  pursuant to which  securities have been issued and obtain waivers of
breaches  of  covenants  where  necessary  and the  ability  of the  Company  to
successfully  address  Year 2000  issues.  The  inability of the Company to meet
these objectives or the consequences on the Company from adverse developments in
general economic  conditions,  adverse developments in the oil and gas industry,
declines  in the  levels of oil and gas prices  from  those that  existed at the
middle of the  second  quarter of 1999 and other  factors  could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.  The Company  cautions  readers that various risk
factors described above as well as in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended  December  31,  1998 could cause the  Company's  consolidated
operating results,  financial condition and ability to fulfill its restructuring
plan to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements
made by the  Company in this  Report and could  adversely  affect the  Company's
financial  condition and its ability to pursue its business  strategy and plans.
Readers  should  refer to the Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB and the risk factors
discussed therein in addition to the risk factors discussed herein.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The  Company is a defendant  in a lawsuit  served on the Company on May
10, 1999 instituted in the District Court,  Montgomery County, Texas by Bendover
Company (formerly known as Diamondback  Directional,  Inc.). In the action,  the
plaintiff  is  seeking  to  recover  the  sum  of  $3,070,301,   plus  interest,
post-default  interest and attorney's  fees, on a promissory note of the Company
date  September  1, 1997.  The  promissory  note was  executed by the Company in
connection with the purchase of the assets of the plaintiff. The Company intends
to interpose defenses to the lawsuit and to assert counterclaims. The Company is
unable  to state at this  time

                                       17

<PAGE>

whether or not the  plaintiff is likely to be  successsful  in its action or the
likelihood that the counterclaims intended to be asserted by the Company will be
successful.

         The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit served on the Company on May 7,
1999 instituted in the District Court of Fort Bend County,  Texas by Dreco, Inc.
seeking to recover  payment  for gods and  services  allegedly  provided  by the
plaintiff  to the  defendant.  The  plaintiff  is seeking to recover  the sum of
$876,802  plus  interest and  attorney's  fees.  The Company  intends to file an
answer in this action  interposing  defenses and  asserting  counterclaims.  The
Company is unable to state at this time  whether or not the  plaintiff is likely
to be  successful  in this action or whether the Company will be  successful  on
counterclaims.

         The  Company is a defendant  in a lawsuit  served on the Company on May
17, 1999 instituted in the District Court of Montgomery County,  Texas by Thomas
Tools,  Inc.  seeking to recover  payment  for tools  allegedly  provided by the
plaintiff  to the  defendant.  The  plaintiff  is seeking to recover  the sum of
$156,534  plus  interest and  consequential  damages and  attorney's  fees.  The
Company is at present considering the claims asserted in this litigation.

         The  Company is a  defendant  in seven  other  lawsuits  instituted  by
vendors and others  seeking to recover an aggregate of  approximately  $135,000.
Although the Company is seeking to resolve  these claims  asserted,  the Company
considers it likely that judgments may be entered against it in these actions.

         The Company  receives demands from creditors for payment of outstanding
payables,  as well as other claims.  These  creditors  may institute  additional
lawsuits  against the Company.  There can be no assurance that judgments may not
be entered against the Company arising out of such lawsuits, if instituted.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         On February 18, 1999,  at a time when the Company was not in compliance
with the terms of its Amended and Restated  Loan  Agreement  with Fleet  Capital
Corp.("Fleet")  and was  seeking  to  enter  into a  Forbearance  Agreement  and
Amendment to Loan and Security  Agreement  (the  "Forbearance  Agreement")  with
Fleet,  as a condition to Fleet  entering into the  Forbearance  Agreement,  the
Company entered into an agreement with two affiliates of St. James Capital Corp,
a principal stockholder of the Company, to purchase up to $2.5 million principal
amount of the Company's  convertible  promissory note due on March 16, 2001. The
note is  convertible  into shares of the Company's  Common Stock at a conversion
price of $1.50 per  share,  subject  to  anti-dilution  adjustment  for  certain
issuances of  securities by the Company at prices per share of Common Stock less
than the conversion price then in effect, in which event the conversion price is
reduced to the lower  price at which such shares are  issued.  The Company  also
issued warrants to purchase  2,075,000  shares of Common Stock  exercisable at a
price of $1.50 per  share,  subject  to  anti-dilution  adjustment  for  certain
issuances of  securities by the Company at prices per share of Common Stock less
than the exercise  price then in effect,  in which event the  exercise  price is
reduced  to the lower  price at which  such  shares are issued and the number of
shares issuable is adjusted upward.

         The proceeds from the sale of the note were used for general  corporate
purposes,  including the payment of outstanding  accounts payable. The notes and
warrants  were  sold in  reliance  upon  the  exemption  from  the  registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded by Section 4(2)
thereof.

                                       18
<PAGE>
         As a consequence of the issuance of the convertible note and warrant to
the affiliates of St. James in February 1999 with conversion and exercise prices
of $1.50 per share, under the terms of the anti-dilution provisions of the other
outstanding  convertible notes and warrants held by St. James, including certain
of its affiliates and assignees,  the conversion  prices and exercise  prices of
those securities were reduced to $1.50 per share with the total number of shares
issuable on conversion and exercise being adjusted upward to 29,468,471 shares.

         On February 18, 1999 the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement, and
related  notes,  warrants and security  documents  (the  "Agreements")  with the
affilliates  of St. James  regarding  the purchase of the  securities  described
above. Pursuant to such agreement, payment of principal and interest on the $2.5
million note is  collateralized  by substantially all the assets of the Company,
subordinated,  as of March 31, 1999,  to the senior  secured  borrowings  of the
Company from Fleet Capital Corporation ("Fleet") in the maximum aggregate amount
of  approximately  $11.5 million.  The shares issuable on conversion of the note
and  exercise of the warrants  have demand and  piggy-back  registration  rights
under  the  Securities  Act of 1933.  The  Agreements  grant St.  James  certain
preferential  rights to provide  future  financings  to the Company,  subject to
certain  exceptions.  The note also contains  various  affirmative  and negative
covenants, including a prohibition against the Company consolidating, merging or
entering into a share  exchange with another  person,  with certain  exceptions,
without  the consent of St.  James.  Events of default  under the note  include,
among other events, (i) a default in the payment of principal or interest;  (ii)
a default under any of the notes held by St. James or any of its  affiliates and
the failure to cure such  default for five days,  which will  constitute a cross
default  under  each of the other  notes held by St.  James and its  affiliates;
(iii) a breach of the Company's covenants,  representations and warranties under
the agreement; (iv) a breach under any of the agreements between the Company and
St.  James,  subject to certain  exceptions;  (v) any person or group of persons
acquiring  40% or more of the voting power of the Company's  outstanding  shares
who was not the owner  thereof as of February  18, 1999, a merger of the Company
with  another  person,  its  dissolution  or  liquidation  or a  sale  of all or
substantially  all its assets;  and (vi) certain  events of  bankruptcy.  In the
event of a default  under any of the notes held by St. James or its  affiliates,
subject to the terms of an  agreement  between St.  James and Fleet,  St.  James
could seek to foreclose against the collateral for the notes.

         Pursuant to an agreement  dated  December 15, 1998,  through  March 31,
1999,  the  Company  has issued  50,000  shares of Common  Stock to  Measurement
Specialists,   Inc.  ("MSI").  The  securities  were  issued  in  reliance  upon
Regualtion D under the Sercurities Act of 1933, as amended.  The securities were
issued in connection with an option granted by MSI to the Company to acquire the
assets of MSI.

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

         The   Company  has   outstanding   secured   indebtedness   aggregating
approximately  $11.5  million  under an Amended and  Restated  Loan and Security
Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Fleet Capital Corporation  ("Fleet") dated
October 30, 1998.  From time to time,  including in early 1999,  the Company has
not been in compliance with various covenants in the Loan Agreement. In February
1999,  the Company and Fleet entered into a Forbearance  Agreement and Amendment
to Loan and Security  Agreement  (the  "Forbearance  Agreement")  whereby  Fleet
agreed,  among other things,  to forebear through June 30, 1999 taking action on
defaults  under the Company's  Loan  Agreement.  Subject to the Company  meeting
certain conditions and complying with certain  covenants,  Fleet agreed to defer
the  payments of  principal  due on its loan during the months of March  through
June 1999. At March 31 1999,  the Company was in default of certain of the terms
of  the  Forbearance   Agreement.   The  instruments   governing  the  Company's
indebtedness to Fleet impose significant operating and financial restrictions on
the Company. Such restrictions

                                       19

<PAGE>

affect,  and in many  respects  significantly  limit or  prohibit,  among  other
things,  the  ability  of the  Company  to incur  additional  indebtedness,  pay
dividends,  repay  indebtedness  prior to its stated  maturity,  sell  assets or
engage in mergers or acquisitions.  These restrictions also limit the ability of
the  Company to effect  future  financings,  make needed  capital  expenditures,
withstand  a downturn  in the  Company's  business  or economy  in  general,  or
otherwise  conduct  necessary  corporate  activities.  The Loan Agreement places
restrictions on the Company's ability to borrow money under the revolving credit
provisions of the Loan  Agreement.  The  Company's  ability to borrow under this
revolving  credit  arrangement  is  necessary  to  fund  the  Company's  ongoing
operations.  Because  the  Company is  currently  in  default  under a number of
provisions of its Loan Agreement and Forbearance Agreement with Fleet, Fleet has
the right to elect to declare all of the funds  borrowed to be  immediately  due
and payable  together  with  accrued and unpaid  interest  and to refuse to make
additional advances under the revolving credit arrangement. In such event, there
can be no assurance  that the Company  would be able to repay such  indebtedness
owing to Fleet or borrow sufficient funds from alternative sources to repay such
indebtedness  owing to Fleet.  If the  Company  were unable to repay all amounts
declared due and payable under the Loan  Agreement,  Fleet could proceed against
the collateral granted to satisfy the indebtedness and other obligations due and
payable. This collateral includes  substantially all of the Company's assets. If
the  indebtedness  owing  to  Fleet  were  to be  accelerated,  there  can be no
assurance  that the assets of the Company  would be  sufficient to repay in full
such  indebtedness  and  the  Company's  other  liabilities.  In  addition,  the
acceleration  of the Company's  indebtedness  owing to Fleet would  constitute a
default under other  indebtedness  of the Company which may result in such other
indebtedness   also   becoming   immediately   due  and   payable.   Under  such
circumstances,  the holders of the Company's  Common Stock may realize little or
nothing on their investment in the Company.  Even if additional  financing could
be  obtained,  there  can be no  assurance  that it would  be on terms  that are
favorable  or  acceptable  to the Company or its equity  security  holders.  The
Company is seeking to refinance its indebtedness owing to Fleet.
