     not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
     year ended September 30, 1997.  Earnings per share are based on weighted

     75,000 convertible preferred shares treated as a common stock equivalent. 
     For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements

B.   PURCHASE OF SUBSIDIARIES

     Acquisition and Discontinuation (during the Quarter Ending December 31,
     1996) of Tier Environmental Services, Inc.

     On September 26, 1994 Gulfstar Industries, Inc. acquired all of the common
     stock of Tier Environmental Services, Inc. through an acquisition and
     redemption by Tier Environmental Services, Inc. of its common stock
     totaling approximately $2,982,400 in value, exclusive of acquisition
     costs.  Tier's principal business is to provide environmental remediation
     services in the State of Florida, at petroleum contaminated sites
     designated by the State of Florida as sites subject to authorized
     reimbursement under the Inland Protective Trust Fund.  The acquisition was
     accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
     Opinion No. 16.  The agreement also called for the additional issuance of
     Gulfstar stock to Tier shareholders if the Company spun off a former
     subsidiary, which in turn the Company did on September 25, 1995.  As such,
     the Company was required to issue an additional 357,133 shares which were
     included in the accompanying balance sheet and valued at $142,855.  The
     excess (approximately $2,845,220) of the total acquisition cost over the
     recorded value of assets acquired was allocated to goodwill and is being
     amortized over 20 years.  The statement of operations includes Tier's
     results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1995 since
     Tier was acquired on September 26, 1994, and during the current quarter,
     December 31, 1996, the company recorded the discontinuation of this
     subsidiary.

     Acquisition of Plant Technical Services, Inc.

     Plant Technical Services, Inc. is engaged in the professional engineering
     business, providing consulting, design, start-up support, operation,
     maintenance, contract personnel and construction management service to
     technical industries throughout the United States.

     On September 29, 1995 Gulfstar acquired all of the common stock of Plant
     Technical Services, Inc. (PTS) through an acquisition and redemption by
     PTS of its stock with the issuance of 750,000 shares of Gulfstar common
     stock, 75,000 shares of Gulfstar $10.00 preferred stock and cash and notes
     of $1,220,000, exclusive of acquisition costs.  The acquisition was
     accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
     Opinion No. 16.  The excess (approximately $1,278,000) of the total
     acquisition cost over the recorded value of assets acquired was allocated
     $500,000 to a proprietary database PTS developed and is expected to be
     amortized over seven years and $571,144 to goodwill which is being

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
        OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial position and operating
results during the periods included in the accompanying condensed financial
statements including the Company's Florida operating subsidiary, as well as
information relating to the plans of the Company's current management.

ABOUT THE SUBSIDIARIES

TIER Environmental Services, Inc.

The primary revenue of this environmental subsidiary came from its work in 
direct cooperation with the Florida legislature towards reimbursement for 
eligible sites for environmental clean-up. The Governor's executive order 
dated March 8, 1995 in reference to the Inland Protection Trust Fund (the 
"fund") referendum has caused some confusion over the past few months. For 
the purpose of clearing this up and stating the facts, the fund is still very
much in place, claims are still being paid by the State, and the interests of 
the contractors as well as those of the investors are still being met.

To be specific, on March 29, 1995 Governor Chiles signed into law 95-2, Laws of
Florida (SB 1290).  This law revises Florida Statute 376 as it relates to
continued and future site rehabilitation tasks for eligible sites.  Chapter 95-2
does not specifically amend or change the reimbursement regulations set forth in
Chapter 62-773, F.A.C.  As of this date, the Legislature has not finalized the
fiscal year 1995-96 budget allocation and accompanying Legislative intent
regarding the IPTF (SB 2800; HB 2585).  Therefore, the new Legislation primarily
affects what eligible sites can continue and start site rehabilitation tasks;
does not revise the allowable markups and handling fees in the Reimbursement
Rule; and does not provide any more certainty as to the actual date when a
Reimbursement Claim will be paid.

It should also be noted that the Legislature, DEP and representatives from the
petroleum clean-up industry worked during the last Legislative session to pay 
off the entire outstanding backlog of reimbursement claims through a bond 
issue. Discussions and negotiations concerning a bonding of the entire 
backlog are continuing. One investment group interested in underwriting the 
bond issue will be making a proposal to DEP and the Governor's office in an 
attempt to bond out the backlog without any additional changes to statutory 
language.

During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, due to the change in the method the
state provided funding of this program, the company discontinued operations in
this subsidiary and recorded a loss on all remaining assets of this subsidiary.

Plant Technical Services

The primary revenue sources of this subsidiary comes from utilities in North
America with high demands at peak periods for engineering professionals.

During the fourth quarter 1995 the Company's former president spent a 
substantial portion of his time pursuing one acquisition in Mexico, the Hemyc 
Group (see form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995) which in 
turn, the Company has since rescinded. The Company has also continued to 
attempt to resolve a joint venture with the Hemyc Group which was 
substantially delayed as for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. This 
subsidiary recorded a loss on the contract to the extent it has accrued costs 
associated with the joint venture and charged the same loss to amounts due to 
the former president shareholder. The remaining assets of this joint venture 
are recorded as idle equipment as of December 31, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 vs. December 31, 1995

The Company's historical results from operations for the three months ended
December 31, 1995 consisted a loss of $193,144 on total revenues of $1,607,376. 
These included the operations of both the PTS and Tier subsidiary.  The results
of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1996 includes the PTS
subsidiary with a net loss of $77,549 and the Tier Environmental subsidiary
reported its results as discontinued operations with a net loss of $1,136,162.

Liquidity and Working Capital

The Company's working capital continued to decline during the quarter ended
December 31, 1996. At September 30, 1996 the Company had a deficit of 
$1,959,320 as compared to a deficit of $2,098,034 at December 31, 1996.

The Company has tried to increase its traditional volume of engineering services
of its PTS subsidiary and by obtaining a factoring agreement to assist the
funding of operations until such time the company can obtain profitability.
