6 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, 1997. 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, 1998 and 1997 was $2,943,000 and $1,392,000, respectively. Income tax payments made during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were $1,960,000 and $2,595,000, respectively. NOTE B - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company, its subsidiaries and other related companies are named 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 - ACQUISITIONS The Company completed two acquisitions during the third quarter of 1997. The outstanding stock of Perfco Wireline, Inc. and C & T Unlimited, Inc. (collectively, "Perfco") was acquired in exchange for 146,116 shares of TETRA stock valued at approximately $4.0 million, plus additional consideration contingent upon future earnings. Perfco is an electric wireline service company operating primarily in the Gulf Coast region and was integrated into the Oil & Gas Services Division. The Company also acquired the remaining 50% interest in its RETEC-TETRA L.C. joint venture that it did not previously own. RETEC-TETRA, renamed TETRA Process Services L.C., will continue to be part of the Specialty Chemicals Division. The Company paid approximately $8.8 million for the remaining stock. The excess of the purchase price over the book value of the net assets was approximately $3.9 million for Perfco and $3.0 million for RETEC-TETRA. All acquisitions by the Company have been accounted for as purchases, with operations of the companies and businesses acquired included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on a preliminary determination of their respective fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is included in goodwill and amortized over 40 years. Pro forma information for these acquisitions has not been presented, as such amounts are not material. -5-

NOTE E - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("FAS 130"). FAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income for the Company includes cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments. No taxes are provided because cumulative translation adjustments are considered a component of permanently invested unremitted earnings of subsidiaries outside the United States. Comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $3.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is $7.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999. Because of the Company's minimal use of derivatives, management does not anticipate that the adoption of the new Statement will have a significant effect on earnings or the financial position of the Company. In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP98-5, Reporting the Costs of Start-up Activities. The SOP is effective beginning on January 1, 1999, and requires that start-up costs capitalized prior to January 1, 1999 be written-off and any future start-up costs to be expensed as incurred. The unamortized balance of start-up costs will be written off as a cumulative effect of an accounting change as of January 1, 1999. It is not practical to estimate what the effect of this change will be on 1999 earnings. ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three months ended June 30, 1998 compared with three months ended June 30, 1997. Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $63.8 million compared to $52.4 million in the prior quarter, an increase of $11.4 million or 22%. Oil & Gas Services revenues were up 15% for the quarter compared to $40.9 million from the 1997 quarter of $35.5 million. Despite this increase, revenues were below -6-
8 expected levels due to the downturn in the well abandonment business in the inland waters of Louisiana, which was caused by the current oil industry spending slowdown. Also the new equipment placed into service for this business has produced at below expected revenue levels in the quarter because of weak market conditions. Despite the general weakened market conditions, the Division's second quarter revenues, excluding the well abandonment business, were up 27% over the 1997 quarter. Specialty Chemicals Division revenues of $26.6 million, including intercompany, were up 32% from $20.2 million for the 1997 quarter. Improved volumes from the Division's American MicroTrace and Process Technologies operations contributed significantly to this increase. The Division also benefited from the incorporation of the now wholly-owned TETRA Process Services. Gross profits were $16.9 million in the 1998 quarter compared to $15.2 million in the 1997 quarter, for an increase of $1.7 million or 11%. The gross profit percentage of revenues was 27% in 1998 versus 29% in 1997. While profit percentages were up slightly in the Specialty Chemicals Division due to improved operations at the Lake Charles and American MicroTrace plants, the Oil & Gas Services Division percentages were down reflecting principally the slowdown in the well abandonment business. General and administrative expenses were $9.4 million in the second quarter of 1998 compared to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 1997. G&A costs increased in support of expanded international and onshore operations of the Oil & Gas Services Division. The inclusion of expenses associated with acquired operations also accounted for a portion of the increase. G&A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 17% in the 1997 quarter to 15% in the 1998 quarter. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was $7.5 million, up $1 million or 38% from $6.5 million in 1997. This increase is the combined result of a gross margin increase of $3.3 million due to increased volume, a $1.6 million decrease due the lower gross margin rates, and a $.7 million increase in general and administrative expenses. Interest expense increased during the current quarter compared to the prior year's quarter due to increased long-term debt over the past twelve months in support of the Company's acquisition and internal growth programs. Net income after taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $3.7 million, unchanged from the prior year's quarter. Net income per diluted share was $0.26 in the 1998 quarter based on 14,265,000 average diluted shares outstanding compared to earnings in 1997 of $0.26 based on 14,066,000 average diluted shares outstanding. Six months ended June 30, 1998 compared with six months ended June 30, 1997. For the period ended June 30, 1998, total revenues were $131.1 million, up $31.8 million or 32% over the 1997 period of $99.3 million. The Oil & Gas Services Division's revenues of $83.4 million were up approximately 30% over the prior year's total of $64.3 million. All operations of the Division except the well abandonment business showed increases over prior year. Domestic and international completion and PayZone drilling fluid sales and services, wireline and well-testing businesses all provided significant revenue increases. Revenues of the Specialty Chemicals Division were up approximately 34% over 1997 from $41.8 million, including intercompany, to $55.8 million in 1998. Despite soft winter snow and ice melt demand, sales of dry calcium chloride increased from the prior year. Also contributing with strong period to period increases were the Process Technologies group, American MicroTrace micronutrient operations and Vapor Products consumer product sales. Gross profits were $35.2 million in the 1998 period compared to $29.0 million in the 1997 period, for an increase of $6.2 million or 21%. The gross profit margin percentage from operations was 27% in 1998 versus 29% in 1997. The Specialty Chemicals Division's gross profit percentage was down from the prior year, principally in the calcium chloride product line. Market pricing pressures and product mix contributed significantly to this decrease. Profit percentage was also down in the Process Technologies group due to project and revenue mix. The gross profit percentage of the Oil & Gas Services Division also declined in response to the slowdown in the well abandonment business. -7-
9 General and administrative expenses were $19.7 million in the 1998 period compared to $16.7 million in the 1997 period, for an increase of $3 million or 18%. G & A costs increased predominantly in support of expanded onshore operations of the Oil & Gas Services Division and for increased advertising of consumer products in the Specialty Chemicals Division. The inclusion of expenses associated with acquired operations also accounted for a portion of the increase. G & A expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 17% in the 1997 period to 15% in the 1998 period. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $15.5 million, up $3.2 million or 26% from $12.3 million in 1997. This increase is the combined result of a gross margin increase of $9.3 million due to increased volume, a $3.1 million decrease due to the lower gross margin rates, and a $3 million increase in general and administrative expenses. Interest expense increased during the current period compared to the prior year's period due to increased long-term debt over the past twelve months in support of the Company's acquisition and internal growth programs. For the six-month period ending June 30, 1998, net income was $7.7 million, up 5% from the $7.3 million reported in 1997. Net income per diluted share was $0.54 in 1998 on 14,262,000 average diluted shares outstanding compared to earnings in 1997 of $0.52 based on 14,107,000 average diluted outstanding shares outstanding. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's investment in working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents, increased to $79.9 million at June 30, 1998 compared to $65.2 million at December 31, 1997. Accounts receivables increased by $6.7 million resulting from development of the Oil & Gas Services Division's wireline business and international operations. Inventories increased $9.4 million during this period primarily in the Oil & Gas Services Division. Inventories of clear brine fluids along the Gulf of Mexico increased as did pipe inventories associated with the Division's well abandonment business. In the Specialty Chemicals Division, bromide inventories increased as the new Dow Chemicals plant at Ludington, Michigan came on-line and dry calcium chloride and feed and fertilizer inventories increased due to the seasonality of the demand. Unbilled project costs of the Process Technologies operations increased by $4.2 million as a result of increased activity in the water treatment business and a significant increase in larger projects with longer durations. Trade payables and accrued expenses increased during the period by $5.7 million. Oil and gas operations accounted for a substantial portion of this change resulting from inventory increases and capital equipment acquired. Increased project and construction costs in the specialty chemicals operations also contributed to this increase. The Company has an ongoing acquisition program to augment its internal growth. To fund this program, the Company will use existing cash and cash flow as well as its general purpose, unsecured, prime rate/LIBOR-based line-of-credit with a syndicate of banks led by NationsBank. As of June 30, 1998, the Company has $2 million in letters of credit and $105 million in long-term debt outstanding against a $120 million line-of-credit, leaving a net availability of $13 million. The line-of-credit matures in 2002. The Company also has 4.6 million shares of TETRA common stock available under an S-4 Shelf Registration Statement to finance its acquisitions. Capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled approximately $27.4 million. Significant components include new inland water rigs, production testing equipment and production equipment for the Oil & Gas Services Division. The Specialty Chemicals Division expenditures included the ongoing construction of a new manganous oxide plant in Tampico, Mexico, construction of a new liquid calcium chloride facility in West Virginia and the completion of the first stage of the new TETRA and Dow Chemicals bromine derivatives plant at Ludington, Michigan. 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 -8-
10 institutional leasing companies, and vendor financing, will be sufficient to meet its current and anticipated operations and its anticipated capital expenditures through 1998 and thereafter.
