DAILEY PETROLEUM SERVICES CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Dailey Petroleum Services Corp. and its subsidiaries (the
"Company"), and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended
July 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending April 30, 1997. For further information,
reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Form S-1 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 14, 1996.

2. ORGANIZATION

The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Dailey
Petroleum Services Corp., a Delaware corporation, which was merged with Dailey
Corporation (which changed its name to Dailey Petroleum Services Corp.) in June
1996. New Dailey Petroleum Services Corp. and its predecessor, Dailey
Petroleum Services Corp., are hereinafter referred to as the "Company" or
"Dailey".

Prior to June 1996, Dailey was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lawrence
Industries, Inc. ("Lawrence"). In June 1996, in preparation for the subsequent
filing of a public offering of Class A Common Stock of Dailey (the "Offering"),
Lawrence reorganized its ownership of the Company into a holding company
structure through a forward triangular merger of Dailey Petroleum Services
Corp., into a newly-formed, wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Lawrence, Dailey
Corporation (the "Reorganization"). The effect of the forward triangular merger
has been reflected retroactively in the accompanying financial statements. On
August 14, 1996 the Company filed its public offering of 3,910,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock, including the underwriters over-allotment option of
510,000 shares.

Dailey's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for three
classes of stock: Class A Common Stock, $.01 par (20,000,000 shares
authorized, no shares issued or outstanding) ("Class A Common Stock"), Class B
Common Stock, $.01 par (10,000,000 shares authorized, 5,000,000 shares issued
and outstanding) ("Class B Common Stock"), and Preferred Stock, $.01 par
(5,000,000 shares authorized, no shares issued or outstanding). The Board of
Directors is empowered to authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock in one or
more series and to fix the rights, powers, preferences and limitations of each
series. A holder of Class B Common Stock may convert its Class B Common Stock
into Class A Common Stock at any time at the ratio of one share of

7
Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock. In the event of
liquidation, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock share
with each other on a ratable basis as a single class in the net assets of the
Company available for distribution. In addition, shares of Class B Common
Stock convert automatically into a like number of shares of Class A Common
Stock upon the sale or transfer of such shares to a person or entity that is
not a member of the Lawrence Group (as defined in the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation).

The Company used $5.0 million of the proceeds from the Offering to
repay the outstanding balance of a $10.0 million promissory note, which was
incurred in connection with a dividend declared on June 27, 1996. On August
13, 1996, the Company's sole stockholder contributed to the capital of the
Company the remaining $5.0 million of the outstanding principal of the
promissory note. The promissory note accrued interest at the prime rate. In
the accompanying statements of operations, pro forma per share data is included
which gives effect to the number of shares from which proceeds would be used
to pay the dividend (the $10.0 million dividend would require an additional
1,250,000 shares assuming a per share Offering price of $8.00, thus earnings
per share for the periods ending July 31, 1996 and 1995, are based on 6,610,000
shares of Common Stock outstanding).

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In addition to the subsequent public offering and capital contribution
discussed in Note 2 above, subsequent to July 31, 1996, and effective with the
completion of the public offering, the Board of Directors adopted the "1996 Key
Employee Stock Plan" and the "1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan." The
Company's "1996 Key Employee Stock Plan," a non compensatory plan, authorized
the grant of options or restricted stock for Class A Common Stock to management
personnel for up to 900,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company
granted options totalling 378,327 shares contemporaneously with the offering to
various executive officers at the initial public offering price, which will
vest over three years. In addition, immediately following

5
8
the Offering the Company granted to key officers restricted stock awards
totalling 360,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which will vest over three
years and not require any payment by the key officers. The "1996 Non-Employee
Director Stock Plan," a compensatory plan, has 100,000 shares authorized for
the granting of options to outside directors.

DAILEY PETROLEUM SERVICES CORP.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Company provides directional drilling services and designs,
manufactures and rents technologically-advanced downhole tools for oil and gas
drilling and workover applications. Founded in 1945 as a rental tool company,
Dailey began offering directional drilling services in 1984 and currently
provides such services in the Gulf of Mexico, the United States Gulf Coast
region, and most recently, Venezuela and the Austin Chalk formation in Texas
and Louisiana. The Company operates in one business segment.

Quarter Ended July 31, 1996 Compared to the Quarter Ended July 31, 1995

Rental Income. Rental income for the quarter ended July 31, 1996, was
$12.1 million, an increase of 15% from $10.6 million for the quarter ended
July 31, 1995. This increase was due primarily to an increase in demand for the
Company's directional drilling services and related products in Venezuela, the
Gulf of Mexico and the United States Gulf Coast region, which resulted in a
$1.9 million increase in rentals from MWD equipment, downhole motors and other
directional drilling tools. This increase was partially offset by a decrease
in rental income from the Company's drilling jars of $400,000 due primarily to
a decrease in demand in Latin America.

Sales of Products and Services. Sales of products and services for
the quarter ended July 31, 1996, were $4.6 million, a decrease of 6% from $4.9
million for the quarter ended July 31, 1995. This decrease was due primarily
to a decrease in export sales of mechanical drilling jars of approximately
$500,000 and to a decrease in lost-in-hole revenues of $400,000. The decrease
is largely offset by an increase in the Company's directional drilling services
revenue of $700,000 in the Gulf of Mexico, the United States Gulf Coast region
and Venezuela.

Cost of Rentals. As a percentage of rental income, cost of rentals
decreased from 78% in the first quarter of 1996 to 77% in the first quarter of
1997, which reflects the fixed nature of the Company's cost base. The
increase of $1.1 million was due primarily to the variable costs associated
with an increase in rental activity, such as tool repair costs, agent
commissions and third party tool charges.

Cost of Products and Services. Cost of products and services for the
quarter ended July 31, 1996, was $2.5 million, which is consistent with the
quarter ended July 31, 1995. The margin on sales of products and services for
the first quarter of 1997 is 45% compared to 49% for the same quarter last
year. This decrease is due primarily to a decrease in higher margin export
sales of mechanical jars partially offset by increased revenues and improved
margins on revenues from directional drilling services.

10

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $2.9 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1996,
a 4% increase over the quarter ended July 31, 1995.

Income Tax Expense. Provision for income taxes for the quarter ended
July 31, 1996, was $584,000, an increase of 7% from $544,000 for the quarter
ended July 31, 1995. This is a result of an increase in the effective tax rate
from 35% to 38% to reflect an anticipated increase in state income tax
resulting from filing separate from Lawrence.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital. At July 31, 1996, the Company had $2.5 million in
cash and cash equivalents. For the quarter ended July 31, 1996, the Company
had net income of $962,000 and cash provided by operating activities of $3.9
million. Other sources of cash included $826,000 from revenue-producing tools
lost in hole, abandoned and sold and $400,000 from advances under the revolving
line of credit discussed below. The Company's principal uses of cash for the
quarter were to fund $2.8 million for capital expenditures and $605,000 for
the repayment of long-term debt. During the past several years, the Company
has funded its working capital requirements through cash generated from
operations, its credit facilities and asset sales.

Credit Facilities. At July 31, 1996, the Company had $9.9 million of
bank debt outstanding pursuant to an amended and restated credit agreement
dated December 13, 1995, as amended on June 5, 1996 (the "Credit Agreement").
The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan and a revolving credit facility.
At July 31, 1996, the outstanding principal balance of the term loan was $8.2
million and the outstanding principal balance of advances made pursuant to the
revolving line of credit was $1.7 million. Borrowings under the revolving
credit facility are limited to the lesser of $3.0 million or a loan formula
based upon the level of the Company's eligible accounts receivable.

Notes to Lawrence. At July 31, 1996, the Company had approximately
$1.6 million outstanding under a note to Lawrence. In addition, on June 27,
1996, the Company declared and paid a $10.0 million dividend to the Company's
sole stockholder, a subsidiary of Lawrence, in the form of a demand promissory
note accruing interest at its bank's prime rate. The Company repaid $6.6
million of these notes in August utilizing a portion of the net proceeds from
the Offering. The remaining $5.0 million was contributed back to the capital
of the Company by the stockholder.

Capital Expenditures. The Company made capital expenditures of
approximately $2.8 million in the quarter ending July 31, 1996. These
expenditures were for downhole tools, primarily MWD and other directional
equipment, hydraulic drilling jars, hydraulic fishing jars and various
equipment. The Company believes it has available resources through internally
generated cash flow, the existing Credit Agreement and the net proceeds of the
Offering to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.
