NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial
statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the
information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods.

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000.

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid cash investments with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

Interest paid on debt during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 was $1,865,000 and $3,464,000, respectively.

Income tax payments made during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 were $1,285,000 and $21,000, respectively.

NOTE B - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, its subsidiaries and other related companies are named as
defendants in several lawsuits and respondents in certain governmental
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of
lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with
certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse
impact on the Company.

NOTE C - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company developed a plan in October 2000 to exit its micronutrients
business which produces zinc and manganese products for the agricultural
markets. The plan provided for the sale of the stock of TETRA's wholly owned
Mexican subsidiary, Industrias Sulfamex, S.A. de C.V., a producer and
distributor of manganese sulfate, and all the manganese inventory held by the
Company's U.S. operations. It also provided for the sale or other disposition of
all inventories, plant and equipment associated with its U.S. zinc sulfate
business. In December 2000, the Company sold all of its U.S. and foreign
manganese sulfate assets for $15.4 million in cash. The Company has accounted
for the micronutrients business as a discontinued operation and has restated
prior period financial statements accordingly.

Summary operating results of discontinued operations are as follows:

NOTE F - INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

The Company manages its operations through three divisions; Fluids,
Well Abandonment/Decommissioning and Testing & Services. The segment information
for the prior period has been restated to reflect the restructuring of the
Company that took place in 2000.

The Company's Fluids Division manufactures and markets clear brine
fluids and associated filtration services to the oil and gas industry for use in
well drilling, completion and workover operations in both domestic and
international markets. The division also markets the fluids and dry calcium
chloride manufactured at its production facilities to a variety of markets
outside the energy industry.

The Well Abandonment/Decommissioning Division provides a complete
package of services required for the abandonment of depleted oil and gas wells
and the decommissioning of platforms, pipelines and other associated equipment.
The division services the onshore, inland waters and offshore markets of the
Gulf of Mexico. The Division is also an oil and gas producer from wells acquired
in connection with its well abandonment and decommissioning business.

The Company's Testing & Services Division provides production testing
services to the onshore gulf coast, offshore Gulf of Mexico and Latin American
markets. It also provides technology and services required for the separation
and recycling of oily residuals generated from petroleum refining and
exploration and production operations.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on
profit or loss from operations before income taxes and non-recurring charges.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Transfers between
segments, as well as geographic areas, are priced at the estimated fair value of
the products or services as negotiated between operating units. Other includes
corporate expenses, non-recurring charges and elimination of intersegment
revenues.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000.

Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 were $81.6 million
compared to $56.1 million in the prior year's quarter, an increase of 45%. All
three divisions of the Company recognized significant quarter to quarter
increase in revenues. The Fluids Division's revenues increased 47% to $41.1
million, reflecting strong market conditions in the Gulf of Mexico that resulted
in increased activity and improved pricing. The international fluids and
filtration business improved dramatically based on increased activities in the
United Kingdom and Mexico. The calcium chloride group of this division also
realized significant revenue growth, benefiting from tight market conditions
along the gulf coast. The Well Abandonment/Decommissioning Division reported
revenues of $25.0 million, an increase of 57% over the prior year's quarter.
Stronger market conditions have resulted in improved equipment utilization,
generating improved revenues for this division. The division was able to achieve
these results despite having its heavy lift barge, the Southern Hercules, in dry
dock most of the quarter for scheduled maintenance and Coast Guard inspections.
It resumed operations in July. The Testing & Services Division reported revenues
of $16.2 million, up 29% from the prior year. The Production Testing group
showed significant quarter to quarter improvement based on the strong natural
gas drilling activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Mexico.

Gross margin for the quarter was $23.1 million compared to $13.3
million in 2000, an increase of $9.8 million or 74%. Gross margin percentage was
28.3% in 2001, compared to 23.7% in 2000. Profit margins in the Fluids and
P&A/Decommissioning Divisions improved due to pricing and equipment utilization.

General and administrative expenses were $11.8 million compared to $9.5
million in 2000. G&A as a percentage of revenues was 14.5% in 2001 versus 16.9%
in 2000. Costs increased primarily in the major growth areas of the Company,
plug and abandonment/decommissioning and production testing, and for employee
benefits.

During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company initiated a strategic
restructuring program to refocus its efforts in the energy services business.
This program concentrated the Company's efforts on developing its oil and gas
services business and selling or consolidating non-core chemical operations. The
Company's strategy was to dispose of the micronutrients business as well as
other non strategic chemical operations. During 2000, the Company sold the
manganese sulfate portion of the micronutrients business and reported the
remainder of that business as a discontinued operation. It also exited other
non-core businesses. As a result of this strategy, the Company recorded a $2.3
million, pretax, restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 1999. The
following table details the activity in the restructuring during the six months
ended June 30, 2001.

<Table>

Exit costs 117 45 72
--------------- --------------- ---------------
$ 1,170 $ 272 $ 898
=============== =============== ===============
</Table>

Involuntary termination costs consist of severance costs associated
with the termination of management level employees associated with the Company's
restructuring. Contractual costs include obligations triggered in two chemicals
product lines when the Company decided to exit these businesses. The remaining
exit costs are additional liabilities realized by exiting certain portions of
the specialty chemicals business. Of the total restructuring charge at June 30,
2001, approximately $0.8 million is associated with the Fluids Division, and
$0.1 million with corporate administrative activities. The majority of these
costs are expected to be paid within the next 12 months and will be funded using
cash flow from operations.

Net interest expense for the 2001 quarter was $0.4 million compared to
$1.0 million in the prior year. Reduced interest rates and lower long term debt
balances resulted in this decrease.

Income before discontinued operations was $6.7 million in the quarter
ended June 30, 2001 compared to $1.6 million in 2000, an increase of $5.1
million. Net income per diluted share before discontinued operations was $0.45
in 2001 on 15,018,000 average diluted shares outstanding and $0.12 in 2000 on
14,194,000 average diluted shares outstanding.

In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company approved a plan to exit the
micronutrients business. This business has been reported as a discontinued
operation in the accompanying financial statement, with the prior years
restated.

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $154.2 million
compared to $107 million in 2000, an increase of $47.2 million or 44%. The
Fluids Division's revenues were $77.5 million, up 34% from the prior year. Every
group within the division realized increased revenues as a result of improved
oil and gas completion and workover activity in the Gulf of Mexico and
internationally, improved pricing and a tightening fluids supply market. The
Well Abandonment/Decommissioning Division reported revenues of $46.3 million,
representing a 60% increase over the prior year. This division expanded its
equipment base during the prior year and has realized significant increases in
equipment utilization during the period. In addition, revenues of the division's
exploitation company, Maritech Resources, Inc., have grown by over 50% as a
result of oil and gas production acquired or developed in conjunction with our
expanding well abandonment and decommissioning business. The Testing & Services
Division's revenues were $31.5 million, up 50% from the prior year. Revenue
increases in this division are the result of improved market conditions driven
by strong natural gas drilling, additional equipment employed and improved
pricing.

Gross profit margin for the period was $42 million, compared to $24.6
million in 2000, an increase of $17.4 million or 71%. Gross profit percentages
improved to 27.3% versus 23% in the prior year. Margins increased significantly
in the Fluids Division, driven by improved pricing, and in the Well
Abandonment/Decommissioning Division, due to increased equipment utilization.

General and administrative costs for the period were $21.9 million
versus $18.7 million in 2000. The Company has incurred additional costs in
conjunction with the expansion of the Well Abandonment/Decommissioning and
Production Testing businesses as well as in the area of employee benefits.

Net interest expense for the 2001 period was $1.0 million compared to
$2.0 million in the prior year. Reduced interest rates and lower long term debt
balances resulted in this decrease.

Income before discontinued operations was $11.9 million in the period
ended June 30, 2001, compared to $2.3 million in 2000, an increase of $9.6
million. Net income per diluted share before discontinued operations was $0.80
in 2001 on 14,897,000 average diluted shares outstanding and $0.16 in 2000 on
13,965,000 average diluted shares outstanding.

In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company approved a plan to exit the
micronutrients business. This business has been reported as a discontinued
operation in the accompanying financial statement, with the prior years
restated.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's investment in working capital, excluding cash, cash
equivalents and restricted cash, was $55.8 million at June 30, 2001 compared to
$59.0 million at December 31, 2000, a decrease of $3.2 million. Accounts
receivables increased approximately $18.5 million, due to the increased activity
in the well abandonment/decommissioning, production testing and CBF businesses.
Inventories were down $3.6 million, mainly in the bromides and chlorides
operations as a result of increased sales and improved inventory management.
Accounts payables and accrued expenses increased by $18.2 million in the Gulf
Coast and Well Abandonment/Decommissioning groups as a result of increased
activity.

To fund its capital and working capital requirements, the Company uses
cash flow as well as its general purpose, secured, prime rate/LIBOR based line
of credit with a syndicate of banks led by Bank of America. As of June 30, 2001,
the Company had $2.7 million in letters of credit and $37.4 million in long term
debt outstanding. The line of credit matures in 2002. The Company's credit
facility is subject to common financial ratio covenants. These include, among
others, a debt to EBITDA ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a net worth
minimum and dollar limits on the total amount of capital expenditures and
acquisitions the Company may undertake in any given year. The Company's existing
credit facility includes an asset based component of up to $50 million and a
term component of up to $50 million secured with property and equipment. The
Company is in the process of renegotiating its credit facility and plans to have
its new credit line in place by the end of the year.

Capital expenditures during the three months ended June 30, 2001
totaled approximately $14.0 million. Significant components include the purchase
of additional oil and gas production testing equipment and well abandonment/
decommissioning equipment as well as Process Services equipment.

The Company believes that its existing funds, cash generated by
operations, funds available under its bank line of credit as well as other
traditional financing arrangements, such as secured credit facilities, leases
with institutional leasing companies and vendor financing, will be sufficient to
meet its current and anticipated operations and its anticipated expenditures
through 2001 and thereafter.
