CLX ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The balance sheet as of March 31, 1996, the statements of operations
for the six months and three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and
the statements of cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 1996 
and 1995 have been prepared by the Company, without audit.  In the opinion 
of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring 
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results 
of operations and cash flows at March 31, 1996 and for all periods 
presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principals have been condensed or omitted as permitted by
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
While the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the September 30, 1995
financial statements of CLX Energy, Inc., the notes thereto and the
Independent Auditors' Report thereon.

Note B - Net income (loss) per common share

Net income (loss) per common 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 
been antidilutive.

Note C - Preferred stock

Each share of the Company's outstanding Series A preferred stock was
convertible into one share of common stock until the conversion
privilege expired in a prior year (April 30, 1983.)  Except in certain 
specified circumstances, the Series A preferred stock is nonvoting.  
The Series A shares are redeemable at the option of the Company at $1.50 per
share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Series A preferred
stock has an involuntary liquidation preference of $1 per share plus
accrued and unpaid dividends.  Dividends on preferred stock of $.06
per share, $8,040, were not declared in 1984 through 1995 for a total
of $96,480 and are in arrears at March 31, 1996.


     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Analysis of Financial Condition

During the six months ended March 31, 1996, the Company purchased
unproved oil and gas properties at a cost of approximately $13,500.
During the same period, the Company sold part of its interest in 
certain unproved oil and gas prospects for $68,575.  The Company received
$17,726 for management fees in connection with acting as contract operator
for certain wells drilled in early 1996.  The seismic program that
the Company was receiving $5,000 in management fees per month in 1994
terminated at the end of December, 1994.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

At March 31, 1996 the Company had negative working capital of 
$46,692.  Revenues from existing oil and gas production and management
fees from operating a drilling program will not be adequate to cover the
normal operating expenses of the Company without a reduction of general
and administrative expenses.  In addition, the Company may be required 
to continue to sell some of its oil and gas properties or raise additional
capital from other sources to participate in any drilling activities.
The Company continues to attempt to acquire producing properties for
stock or in leveraged transactions to increase its monthly revenues.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Oil and gas sales decreased for the six months ended March 31, 1996 as a 
result of declines in production and the sale of an interest in a producing 
oil property.  The sales decreases for the six months were offset by sales
from a new gas well that was completed in late February of 1995.  Oil and gas
sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased over the three months
ended March 1995 primarily due to the new gas well completed in late February 
of 1995.  Management fees increased for the three months ended March 31, 1996
as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995 due to management fees
received for acting as contract operator on certain wells drilled in early 1996.

Lease operating expenses and production taxes decreased primarily due to the 
sale of an interest in a producing property with high operating costs.  
Depreciation and depletion decreased primarily as a result of declining 
production on most of the oil and gas properties and a lower cost basis of 
producing properties as a result of an impairment provision at September 30, 
1995.  General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to a 
general decrease in activity.

During the six months ended March 31, 1996 the Company sold part of its 
interests in three unproved oil and gas prospects that resulted in gains 
of approximately $42,000.  In prior year, the Company sold part of its 
interest in an unproved oil and gas prospect that resulted in a gain of 
$5,000.  Interest expense increased as a result of additional short-term 
borrowings.
