            REPORT ON REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


Board of Directors
Golden Triangle Industries, Inc.
Albuquerque, New Mexico

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Golden
Triangle Industries, Inc. (formerly Golden Triangle Royalty & Oil, Inc.)
and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1996, and the related consolidated 
statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the nine months then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical review
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, retained earnings and cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report
dated March 15, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

                                   (Unaudited)
                               September 30, 1996


NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with instructions to Form 10-01 of Regulation S-X. 
They do not include all information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  However,
except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the
information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1995.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  The report of Robert Early & Company, P.C.
commenting on their review accompanies the condensed financial statements
included in Item 1 of Part 1.  Operating results for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.


NOTE 2: NAME CHANGE AND STOCK ACTIVITY

At the Company's stockholders meeting in May 1996, the name of the parent
company was changed to Golden Triangle Industries, Inc.  This change was made
to reflect the change in the Company's main business emphasis away from oil and
gas royalties and reflect its broader base of activities.

At the same meeting, stockholders authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock with a par value of $.10 per share.  Directors were given the authority
to subdivide the preferred stock and to set the various rights and attributes
of different series.  The directors created Series A and Series B subdivisions.
Both series have voting rights of 10 votes per share and are subject to limited
transferability.  Series A shares contain a provision for a cash dividend of
$.30 per share and are convertible back to common shares after 38 months. 
Series B shares were set to have a quarterly cash dividend of $.20 per share
and a common stock dividend which is initially 3% of the number of preferred
shares held.  The common stock dividend escalates to 4% in the second year and
increases in subsequent years based on increases in the Company's annual gross
revenue.

Directors also authorized a program to exchange Series A and Series B preferred
shares for common shares on a the basis of one share of preferred stock for ten
shares of common.  This exchange program resulted in the  exchange of 2,001,710
common shares for 11,856 shares of Series A and 188,585 shares of Series B. 
This exchange has been given effect in the shares reported outstanding and in
the earnings per share calculation.


NOTE 3:  AMORTIZATION OF EXPENSES

During December 1993 and January 1994 the Company entered into agreements with
Hunter Equities, Inc. and others for marketing, public relations, and other
management services.  Under the terms of these agreements, these services were
to be provided over a three year period.  Pursuant to the terms of these
agreements, certain expenses were prepaid.  This situation requires
amortization of the expense over the term of the agreement.  Amortization of
these expenses (included in "Advertising and public relations") totaled $12,500
for the quarter and $37,500 for the year.


NOTE 4: CONSTRUCTION OF WATER PLANTS

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company substantially completed
construction of two fresh water delivery sites.  The total cost of these
locations was $65,678.  These plants were placed in service early in the second
quarter.


NOTE 5: AMANDO DISPOSAL AGREEMENT

Effective June 1, 1996, the Company acquired the use of an existing salt water
disposal facility from TransTexas Gas Corporation (a significant customer). 
The substance of this acquisition is a loan to TransTexas of $750,000
collateralized by the disposal facility and giving the Company operating rights
to the facility while the loan is outstanding.  Funding for this loan came from
a credit of $250,000 applied against current receivables from TransTexas and
loans from related parties of $433,000.  The terms of the agreement give
TransTexas five years to repay the loan and allows it to make prepayments at
any time.  This facility is expected to throughput in excess of 150,000 barrels
of water per month.  The Company earns interest at 1% per month on the unpaid
balance and expects to generate another 1% per month from operations.  The
facility is located in an area in which the Company has no competing disposal
facilities and essentially has no nearby competition. 

The loans from related parties bear interest at 2% per month and are expected
to be repaid before the end of the year.  The Company had repaid $223,000 prior
to September 30, 1996, with the remaining balance being repaid during October.


NOTE 6: SALE OF ASSETS

Effective June 30, 1996, the Company sold its facility in Jim Wells County to a
company partially owned by a director for $50,000.  Management has been
disappointed with the results from operating the facility.  It was determined
that competition, lack of expected development in the service area, and
distance from the Company's core operating area made the facility unfeasible to
operate profitably.  Based on this determination, management elected to cut its
losses and dispose of the facility.

During the third quarter, the Company sold 80 acres of its ranch land in New
Mexico for $80,000 on an installment basis.  The note bears interest at 8.6%
and is due to be fully paid in 2016.


NOTE 7: RESTRICTED CASH

During June 1996, the Company posted a $100,000 certificate of deposit as
collateral for a $1 million performance bond for Southwest Tire Processors,
Inc. (SWTP).  SWTP is the lessee of the Company's tire shredder and owes the
Company significant amounts under this lease.  The bond was required by a $4
million used-tire disposal contract with the State of Arizona.  This contract
has allowed SWTP to substantially reduce its payable to the Company during the
third quarter.


NOTE 8: TRANSFER AGENT AND TRANSFER FEES

During the third quarter, the Company hired an outside stock transfer agent to
process exchanges of the Company's stock.  This decision was made primarily
because of a program which the Company started whereby existing stockholders
could invest up to $5,000 per month in stock from the Company.  As a result of
this action, transfer fees which had been reported as revenue by the Company is
now being offset against the cost of the outside services.

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

GENERAL DISCUSSION:

GTII has made significant progress in the efforts to shift from being a
speculative resource company to becoming an earnings driven company as
evidenced by reporting profits for the ninth consecutive quarter.  GTII has
made this progress while still remaining essentially debt free.

Disposal and service revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1996,
increased 15% over the same period in 1995.  For the quarter ended September
30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995, GTII also showed increases in
operating revenues, total assets, and total liabilities and shareholders'
equity.
 
On September 13, 1996, the Company sold 80 acres of Apache Ranch, Inc. (a
wholly owned subsidiary of GTII) to a group of investors who will develop the
High Lonesome Ranch, a working dude ranch, with completion projected to be in
the summer of 1998. The dude ranch should be able to accommodate up to 12
guests with activities that include trail rides, roundups, and everyday cattle
work.

The preferred shares that were authorized by the shareholders during the second
quarter of 1996, resulted in the exchange of 2,001,710 common shares for 11,856
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 188,585 of Series B Preferred Stock,
during the third quarter of 1996.  For further details please see NOTE 2 of the
financial statements.

The first nine months of 1996 have proven to be very successful for GTII. 
Earnings per share after taxes, through the first nine months of 1996, have
already reached 94% of the entire year of 1995.  Management is continuing its
efforts to meet the stock price requirements for listing on a major exchange.


REVENUES:

Revenues from the South Texas operations were up 28% when comparing the period
ended September 30, 1996, ($1,616,703) to September 30, 1995, ($1,260,838). 
Disposal and service fees have continued to rise due to the following:  (1)
certain facilities began focusing on disposing of non-produced water at a
premium price compared to normal produced water; (2) drilling activity is up
due to higher energy prices which increases the Company's support services; (3)
higher energy prices caused marginal wells to be put back into production; and
(4) the addition of the Amando Disposal Facility revenues has added approxi-
mately $195,891 to the South Texas revenues after four months of operation.

Revenues from oil and gas were up an impressive 73% when comparing the third
quarter of 1996, ($85,720) to the same quarter in 1995, ($49,491).  New wells
have been put on line on domestic leases coupled with an overall increase in
both oil and gas prices.  Oil and gas revenues also increased when comparing to
the previous quarter ended June 30, 1996, ($79,464).  Additional wells have
been drilled on GTII's ATP 299P override in Australia which should increase the
Company's oil revenues in the future.

Rental income is derived from the Company's joint venture with Southwest Tire
Processors, Inc. (SWTP).  The reduction in the rental income category when
comparing September 30, 1996, to the same period in 1995 occurred because of 
the decline curve built in to the agreement.  The $98,536 reported in the
quarter ended September 30, 1996, is additional rental income earned pursuant
to the leasing arrangement with SWTP.  Even with this decrease, because of the
increase in disposal and service fees and oil and gas revenues discussed above,
total operating revenues for the three month and the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996, showed an increase from the same periods in 1995.

A gain on sale of assets was reported as result of the sale of 80 acres of
Apache Ranch, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of GTII).

Cost of revenues increased to $476,033 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, from $324,586 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  Cost of
revenues also increased when comparing the current quarter to the same period
in 1995, and to the previous quarter (June 30, 1996).  The increases were
primarily attributable to an increase in the categories of direct materials and
supplies and lease cost.  The addition of two fresh water facilities, plus
upgrading and expanding existing disposal equipment in the South Texas
operating areas were contributing factors that led to the increase in direct
materials and supplies, and the lease cost increase was due to the addition of
the Amando Disposal Facility. 


ASSETS:

The assets of the Company increased $378,708 during the first nine months of
this year to $6,534,733 compared to $6,156,025 on December 31, 1995.  This
increase is directly related to assets acquired during the first six months
that included transactions centered around the Amando Disposal Facility which
was discussed in the General Discussion report for the second quarter.  Total
assets of the Company on September 30, 1995, were $5,831,021 which reflects a
12% increase in assets to September 30, 1996. 

Cash on hand as of September 30, 1996, was up $76,243 compared to the same
period for 1995.  The increase can be contributed to payments received from
Southwest Tire Processors, Inc. (SWTP).  SWTP has been able to make payments
from a significant contract that was signed with Maricopa County in Arizona for
disposal of scrap tires. 

The accounts receivable balance is primarily from disposal fees or services
rendered in South Texas and $304,753 due from SWTP.  SWTP plans to pay off its
remaining balance by year end with revenues that are being received from
Arizona.  As a result, GTII has already seen an increase in the Company's cash
position.

Current assets of GTII on December 31, 1995 were $1,208,153 and were $1,273,892
on June 30, 1996.  An increase from September 30, 1995, to September 30, 1996,
was related to the increase in cash and accounts receivable.  The third quarter
had a decrease of $171,125 from the previous quarter which was related to
accounts receivable. 

A measurement of the Company's liquidity is the use of the ratio of current
assets to current liabilities.  The liquidity ratio for September 30, 1996, was
2.72:1, June 30, 1996, was 1.86:1, March 31, 1996, was 2.83:1, and December 31,
1995, was 2.67:1.

The Company's current liabilities decreased from June 30, 1996, ($684,262) to
September 30, 1996, ($403,902).  This decrease is due primarily to a
significant decrease in accounts payable and to reductions in cash advances
from certain directors and insiders.  These advances were used to fund the 
obtainment of the Amando Disposal Facility with TransTexas Gas during the
second quarter.

Shareholders' equity increased $85,876 from June 30, 1996, to September 30,
1996, and increased $382,890 from September 30, 1995, to September 30, 1996.


OPERATING EXPENSES:

Operating expenses have remained fairly constant except for depreciation,
depletion and amortization which has increased $21,991 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, compared to the same quarter of 1995.  Depreciation,
depletion and amortization should decrease during the fourth quarter of 1996
due to the expected pay off of debt from SWTP.  The majority of the operating
expense increase was increased fees due to a change in transfer agents during
the third quarter of 1996.

Other income and expenses reported during the quarters are principally related
to either interest income or interest expense.  The interest income is earned
by affiliated parties to the Company on cash advances for ongoing projects. The
majority of the interest expense should decrease significantly by year end when
the advances from affiliated parties are paid in full.


NET INCOME:

Net income was down for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, when compared to
the same quarter in 1995, and also for the nine month periods, primarily
because of the increases in cost of revenues (previously discussed under
Revenues), which reduced the gross profit.  In addition, there were some
increases in operating expenses which contributed to the decline.

Income per share was $0.07 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, and $0.10 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  It was also $0.10 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.  A change in the number of shares outstanding through the
conversion of common stock effects the per share calculations. 

Management plans to control expenses while continuing to build the revenues in
the fourth quarter to yield an exceptional year for the Company.
