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


Overview

     GulfWest Oil Company  ("GulfWest" or the  "Company") is an independent  oil
and gas company  primarily  engaged in the  acquisition of producing oil and gas
properties  with proved  reserves  which have the potential for increased  value
through continued  development and enhanced recovery  technology.  The Company's
objective is to significantly increase the production of such properties through
workovers of the wells, horizontal drilling from existing wellbores, development
drilling or other enhancement operations.

     Management's  acquisition  strategy is for the Company to be an  aggressive
consolidator of small,  under-capitalized  operators with undeveloped properties
and a  purchaser  of oil and gas  properties  that  may be  non-core  to  larger
independent and major oil and gas companies.


Results of Operations

Comparative results of operations for the periods indicated are discussed below.

Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 1998 compared to Three-Month Period Ended
September 30, 1997.

Revenues

     Oil and gas sales for the third quarter decreased 52% from $921,900 in 1997
to $439,600 in 1998,  primarily as a result of lower oil and natural gas prices.
The average prices  received for production of oil decreased 40% from $17.24 per
Bbl for the  three  months  of 1997 to  $10.90  per Bbl for the  period in 1998.
Natural gas prices  decreased 29% from an average of $2.09 per Mcf for the three
months of 1997 to $1.48 per Mcf for the period in 1998.  Oil sales  volumes  for
the period were less in 1998  compared  to 1997 due  primarily  to  management's
decision to curtail production of certain wells due to the low prices.

     Operations for third parties  produced well servicing  revenues of $169,600
less expenses of $163,000 in 1998 compared to revenues of $130,700 less expenses
of $103,600 for the period in 1997.

     Revenues from operating overhead and other income decreased from $51,000 in
1997 to $19,000 in 1998, due to the curtailment of production.

Costs and Expenses

     Lease operating expenses decreased 25% from $538,000 in 1997 to $403,500 in
1998, due to the curtailment of production.

     Interest  expense for the second quarter of 1998 compared to 1997 increased
from $295,000 to $407,000 due to borrowing  costs related to the  acquisition of
additional oil properties and other debt incurred during the year to finance the
operations and development of the Company's properties.

<PAGE>

Nine-Month  Period Ended September 30, 1998 compared to Nine-Month  Period Ended
September 30, 1997.

Revenues

     Oil and gas sales for the period  decreased 49% from  $3,132,500 in 1997 to
$1,592,700  in 1998,  primarily  as a result  of lower oil and  natural  gas oil
prices.  The average  prices  received for  production of oil decreased 36% from
$18.55  per Bbl for the nine  months of 1997 to $11.93 per Bbl for the period in
1998 and for the  production of natural gas decreased 22% from $2.29 per Mcf for
the nine  months  of 1997 to $1.78  per Mcf for the  period  in 1998.  Oil sales
volumes  for the period  were less in 1998  compared  to 1997 due  primarily  to
management's  decision  to curtail  production  of certain  wells due to the low
prices.

     Operations for third parties  produced well servicing  revenues of $477,100
less  expenses of  $451,800  for the period in 1998  compared  to $250,600  less
expenses of $189,700 for the period in 1997.

     Revenues from operating  overhead and other income  decreased from $168,100
for the period in 1997 to $107,600 for the period in 1998,  however the revenues
in 1997  included  a $37,500  gain on the sale of a lease and no such gains were
recorded for 1998.

Costs and Expenses

     Lease operating expenses decreased from $1,360,100 in 1997 to $1,306,800 in
1998, due to the curtailment of production.

     Interest  expense  increased  from  $778,000  for  the  period  in  1997 to
$1,109,100  for the  period  in  1998  due to  borrowing  costs  related  to the
acquisition of additional  properties and other debt incurred during the year to
finance the operations and development of the Company's properties.

Financial Condition and Capital Resources

     During the  fourth  quarter  of 1996,  the  Company  acquired  and  assumed
operations  for  additional oil properties in West Texas for a purchase price of
$10,654,000.  In connection with these  acquisitions,  the Company issued senior
debt  due  October  and  December,  1999 in the  original  principal  amount  of
$7,400,000.  On March  20,  1998,  the  Company  obtained  a loan from a banking
institution  for  $10,237,000,  which included  $7,432,000 for  refinancing  the
properties and  $2,805,000  for payment toward the  acquisition of certain other
oil properties with a purchase price of $2,976,000.

     In a subsequent event,  effective October 1, 1998, the Company sold 100% of
its stock ownership interest in its subsidiary,  GulfWest Permian. With the sale
of GulfWest Permian, the Company divested itself of approximately  $9,000,000 in
short-term bank debt and assets  consisting of working  interests in certain oil
properties in West Texas with estimated  proved reserves of  approximately  1.26
million barrels of oil.

     On November 18, 1997, the Company completed a private placement of $500,000
of debentures (the "Debentures").  The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 12%
payable  quarterly  and are  collateralized  by certain  assets of the  Company.
Effective June 30, 1998,  the holders of the Debentures  have the option for one
year to convert all or a part of the  outstanding  principal and any accrued and
unpaid  interest to GulfWest  Common Stock at a strike price of $1.30 per share.
At September 30, 1998,  $50,000 of the  Debentures  had been converted to Common
Stock.

     On  December  15,  1997,  the  Company  obtained a loan from Mr. J.  Virgil
Waggoner,  a  director  of the  Company,  in the amount of  $1,000,000  to drill
seventeen  developmental  wells in the  Vaughn  Field,  as part of its  expanded
waterflood  operations in that field. On June 29, 1998, Mr.  Waggoner  converted
the  outstanding  principal  amount of the note and unpaid  interest  to 643,329
shares of the Company's  Common Stock at a price of $1.625 per share, as part of
the Company's private placement discussed below.

     On  January  7,  1997,  the  Company  established  a  $2,000,000  revolving
line-of-credit  with  Southwest  Bank of Texas,  with part of the proceeds to be
used for payment of short-term notes incurred for  acquisitions  made during the
fourth quarter of 1996. The revolving  line-of-credit was subsequently increased
to $3,000,000  with the additional  funds to be used for  acquisitions,  further
enhancements  of the Company's West Texas  properties and working  capital.  The
line-of-credit  is  guaranteed  by Mr. J.  Virgil  Waggoner,  a director  of the
Company. The line-of-credit has a maturity date of April 10, 2000.

     On    March   3,    1998,    the    Company    established    a    $500,000
revolving-line-of-credit  with Compass  Bank of Dallas,  with the proceeds to be
used for equipment purchases and working capital for its subsidiary,  VanCo. The
line-of-credit  is guaranteed  by Mr. J. Virgil  Waggoner,  a director,  and Mr.
Marshall A. Smith, III, president of the Company.

     At a special meeting of the  shareholders of the Company on March 24, 1998,
the  shareholders  approved  the  offering,  sale and  issuance of shares of the
Company's Common Stock through a private placement whereby gross proceeds of at
least  $500,000 and up to $5.5 million would be raised.  At June 30, 1998,  when
the offering was closed, the Company had received  $1,680,741 as a result of the
sale and issuance of 1,034,296 shares of Common Stock at $1.625 per share.

     Effective  September  1, 1998,  the  Company  acquired  all the  membership
interests  of  SETEX,   LLC,   pursuant  to  an  Interest   Purchase   Agreement
("Agreement").  The  aggregate  purchase  consideration  for all the  membership
interests consisted of 4,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock of GulfWest,
par value $.01 per share and  liquidation  value $500 per share and  Warrants to
purchase  100,000  shares of GulfWest  Common Stock.  In this  transaction,  the
Company acquired working interests in proved  undeveloped oil and gas properties
located  in six (6)  counties  in South and East  Texas  with  estimated  proved
reserves of  approximately 3 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent net to
the Company's  interest.  The consideration was determined through  negotiations
based upon third party engineering reports.

     In a subsequent event,  effective October 1, 1998, the Company sold 100% of
its stock ownership in its operating  subsidiary WestCo for $150,000 in the form
of a promissory  note. The Company will continue to operate  properties  through
its  subsidiary  SETEX.  The  sale of  Westco  is part of a  program  to  reduce
operating  expenses  by  avoiding  duplicate  efforts  and  consolidating  field
personnel and equipment into other subsidiaries.

     Management has identified  seven (7) wells on its  Madisonville  properties
which  can be  re-entered  by using the  horizontal  drilling  technique  which,
according to independent engineering reports, has increased the Company's Proved
Reserves by an additional  400,000 barrels of oil equivalent  (BOE). The Company
commenced this horizontal  drilling  program in September,  1998 by successfully
re-entering and horizontally drilling the Powledge #1 well.

     Management's  acquisition  strategy is for the Company to be an  aggressive
consolidator of small,  under-capitalized  operators with undeveloped properties
and a  purchaser  of oil and gas  properties  that  may be  non-core  to  larger
independent and major oil and gas companies.  Management  intends to continue to
seek  additional  sources of capital  which will enable the Company to carry out
this  strategy  while  continuing  to  develop  the oil and  gas  properties  it
currently owns.

     Although  management  believes the above business  strategy will ultimately
provide  the  Company  with the  means to  become  profitable,  there  can be no
assurance that the necessary funds will be available or that the strategy can be
effectively  accomplished.  Continued  unfavorable oil and/or gas prices and the
inability of the Company to raise the capital  necessary for its acquisition and
development programs could have a severe impact on the Company.

     Management  intends to continue to raise capital  through equity  offerings
which  will  allow the  Company  to remain in  compliance  with  Nasdaq  listing
requirements.
