NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in
the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position of Black Warrior Wireline Corp. and subsidiaries
(the "Company"). Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996 should be read in conjunction with this document.
2. RECENT DEBT RESTRUCTURING
In November 1995, the Company executed Reorganization Agreements with
the holders of an aggregate of $1,922,130 principal amount of
outstanding debentures and indebtedness pursuant to which the
debentures and indebtedness were agreed to be exchanged for an
aggregate of 961,065 shares of the Company's Common Stock. In addition,
pursuant to such agreements, Common Stock Purchase Warrants of the
Company were to be exchanged with the debenture holders for two new
classes of Common Stock Purchase Warrants. Each class of new warrants
was to represent the right to purchase an aggregate of 183,750 shares
of Common Stock. The Class A warrants were to be exercisable at $3.00
per share for a period of four (4) years and the Class B warrants were
to be exercisable at prices increasing in annual increments over the
first three (3) years after issuance from $3.00 per share to $5.00 per
share and were to expire five (5) years after issuance. Through March
31, 1996, an aggregate of $1,353,380 principal amount of debentures and
indebtedness was exchanged for 648,151 shares of Common Stock and the
remaining $568,750 of debentures to be exchanged pursuant to the
agreements executed in November 1995 was subject to the fulfillment of
certain closing conditions. Issuance of the warrants was not completed
in 1995. In September and October, 1996 the holders of an additional
$800,000 principal amount of Debentures executed Reorganization
Agreements and the Reorganization Agreements entered into in November
1995 were amended so as to provide that in lieu of the issuance of the
Class A warrants, an aggregate of 101,250 shares of Common Stock would
be issued and the exercise price of the Class B warrants would be
reduced to $2.00 per share throughout the five-year term of such
warrants. During 1996, $1,368,750 principal amount of indebtedness was
exchanged for an aggregate of 712,914 shares of Common Stock and an
aggregate of 303,750 Class B warrants were issued. In addition, an
aggregate of 101,250 shares of Common Stock were issued in exchange for
the Company's obligation to issue the Class A warrants. Pursuant to all
such agreements, an aggregate of $2,071,357 of accrued interest and
penalties were waived by the debenture holders.
In connection with the foregoing restructuring, the Company effected a
1-for-200 reverse stock split on October 30,1995.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OPERATIONS
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND ECONOMIC FACTORS IMPACTING COMPANY OPERATIONS
The level of activity and profitability experienced by the Company is
directly related to the demand for the Company's services by the
domestic oil and gas industry. The market price of oil and natural gas
is the principal factor driving this demand. In recent years, there
have been some periods of relative price stability but only isolated
areas of real growth. In 1996, however, most of the industry
experienced some growth in demand and pricing. Management of the
Company believes that the continuing stability of domestic oil prices
and relatively high gas prices should help continue this trend in 1997.
Increased demand for the services provided by the Company and its
competitors coupled with a general consolidation in the service sector
has reduced downward pressure on pricing. This has led to a reduction
in "predatory" pricing used by some companies to increase market share
and helped improve overall margins. The Company believes that further
improvements in pricing will be seen in 1997 as this trend continues.
The Company plans to continue its marketing policy which stresses the
safety, reliability, technological advantage and overall quality of its
services. Management believes that an increasing number of customers
consider these factors foremost in their selection criteria for a
service company.
The Company intends, as and if opportunities arise, to aggressively
seek to expand its wireline and other service areas through the
acquisition of other oil and gas service companies that meet its
strategic goals. The Company will continue to re-deploy its assets to
areas that are most beneficial to the long-term growth of the Company.
On January 27, 1997 the Company entered into a letter of intent to
acquire the outstanding stock of Production Well Services Co., which
provides wireline services in southern Mississippi Slat Dome Basin.
This transaction is to be completed during the second quarter of 1997.
In addition, the Company entered into a letter of intent on April 1,
1997 to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Petro-Log, Inc., which
provides wireline services in the state of Wyoming, Montana, and South
Dakota. The letter of intent provided that the transaction is to be
completed in the second quarter of 1997. The Company is currently
engaged in negotiations to raise the capital necessary to pay the cash
portion of the purchase price for these acquisitions. The completion of
these acquisitions is subject to raising additional capital.
The Company is actively seeking to expand its directional drilling
services by providing downhole steering tools in addition to hoisting
services. Directional drilling entails entering a production zone
horizontally, using specialized drilling equipment, which expands the
area of interface of hydrocarbons and thereby greatly enhancing
recoverability. This area of business is intended to enable the Company
to enlarge its customer base by providing steering services to other
drilling contractors which do not have "in house" steering tools.
Another area which the Company intends to expand is
7
tubing conveyed perforating. The Company is providing this service in
Alabama and Mississippi and plans to expand this service throughout its
operational areas.
The Company has purchased state of the art downhole tools including a
segmented bond and magnetic and 40-arm casing inspection tools. This
acquisition will enable the Company to provide services unavailable
from other smaller wireline company competitors and thereby enable the
Company to provide services in a less price competitive environment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
The Company had a net income of $33,941 for the first quarter of 1997
as compared with a net loss of $184,965 for the same period of 1996.
The net income of $33,941 can be attributed to improved margins on
wireline and completion services and an overall increase in revenues.
There was a reduction in interest expense. This reduction is a direct
result of the debt to equity conversion completed in the last quarter
of 1996. The overall improvement was partially reduced by increased
depreciation expense, amortization and income tax expense. Management
believes that revenues from it's Dyna Jet acquisition will increase in
the second quarter of 1997 due to the seasonal nature of this
operation.
Net revenues increased by $630,717 to $2,165,018 for the first quarter
of 1997 compared with net revenues of $1,534,301 in the same period in
1996. While completion services and sales and rentals of tools and
packers remained fairly stable, there was a substantial increase in
wireline services. A large portion of this increase stems from revenues
in the Permian Basin. The major project initiated by a large customer
that began in the third quarter of 1996 is expected to continue through
1997. The Company supplies all wireline services for this project.
There is an expected increase in demand from most of the Company's
customers in the Permian Basin during 1997. Revenues by division for
the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 are summarized
below:

========== ==========
Operating costs and expenses increased by $444,677 in the first quarter
of 1997 as compared with the same period in 1996. This increase was due
to increased costs for supplies and materials from vendors,
attributable to the increase in revenues and in the amount of materials
and supplies purchased for each particular job. The Company experienced
startup costs in its Wyoming operation during the first quarter of
1997. Salaries increased $142,582 for the first three months of 1997
with the total number of employees increasing to 112 at March 31, 1997
from 92 at March 31, 1996. This increase was due to salary raises for
existing employees and the addition of new personnel added to meet the
increased work load.
Interest expense decreased by $61,548 in the first quarter of 1997 as
compared with the same period in 1996. Three to five year notes were
used to purchase new vehicles and equipment during the first three
months of 1997. An aggregate of $104,954 of principal amount at March
31, 1997 went to reduce notes payable. New note payables acquired this
quarter totaled $353,192. Interest on the debt ranged from prime (9.50%
as of April 25, 1997) to 12.00%. The decrease in interest expense is
directly related to the exchange of debentures and notes payable to
Company's related parties to equity during the last quarter of 1995 and
during the last quarter of 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash provided by the Company's operating activities was $325,969 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared with $771,462 for the
period ended December 31, 1996. Investing activities of the Company
used cash of $252,573 during the period ended
9
March 31, 1997 for the acquisitions of property, plant , and equipment
and another business offset by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets
of $29,448. Financing activities used cash of $104,954 to pay principal
payments of long-term notes and capital lease obligations. Other uses
of cash consisted of purchasing tools and supplies rather than
purchasing them on credit.
On January 27, 1997 the Company entered into a letter of intent to
acquire the outstanding stock of Production Well Services Co., which
provides wireline services in southern Mississippi Slat Dome Basin.
This transaction is to be completed during the second quarter of 1997.
In addition, the Company entered into a letter of intent on April 1,
1997 to acquire all of the outstanding stock o Petro-Log, Inc., which
provides wireline services in the state of Wyoming, Montana, and South
Dakota. The letter of intent provided that the transaction is to be
completed in the second quarter of 1997. The Company is currently
engaged in negotiations to raise the capital necessary to pay the cash
portion of the purchase price for these acquisitions. The completion of
these acquisitions is subject to raising additional capital.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 1997, the financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per share
(SFAS 128). SFAS 128 supersedes existing generally accepted accounting
principles relative to the calculation of earnings per share, is
effective for years ending after December 15, 1997 and requires
restatement of all prior period earnings per share information upon
adoption. Generally, SFAS 128 requires a calculation of basic earnings
per share, which takes into consideration income (loss) available to
common shareholders and the weighted average of common shares
outstanding. SFAS 128 also requires the calculation of a diluted
earnings per share, which takes into effect the impact of all
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all
dilutive potential common shares relating to options, warrants, and
convertible securities had been issued, as long as their effect of
dilutive, with a related adjustment of income available for common
shareholders, as appropriate. SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of
operation and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic earnings per share computation. The company
does not expect the effect of its adoption of SFAS 128 to be material.
