NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying financial statements of Top Source Technologies,  Inc.
(the  "Company")  have been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting   principles  for  interim   financial   information   and  with  the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all the  information  and footnotes  required by generally  accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary  for a fair  presentation  have  been  included  in  the  accompanying
financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant  intercompany accounts and
transactions  have been  eliminated.  The results of  operations  of any interim
period are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results of  operations  for the
fiscal year.  For further  information,  refer to the financial  statements  and
footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  annual report on Form 10-K/A No.1
for the year ended  September  30, 1996.  Certain  fiscal year 1996 amounts have
been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

New Accounting Standard

         In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("FASB")"
issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share". SFAS No. 128 supersedes the previous standard (Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 15),  modifies the methodology  for  calculating  earnings per
share,  and is  effective  for periods  ending after  December  15, 1997;  early
adoption  is not  permitted.  Upon  adoption,  the  Company  will be required to
restate  previously  reported  earnings  per  share  data to  conform  with  the
requirements of SFAS No. 128. Had the provisions of SFAS No. 128 been applicable
to the  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements,  basic and
diluted  earnings per share,  as calculated in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 128,  would not have been different from the earnings per share amounts
reported herein for the quarter ending March 31, 1997.


2.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories consisted of the following:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


3.       TREASURY STOCK

         On November 12, 1996, the Company announced that it had put into effect
a stock  repurchase plan to repurchase up to 400,000 shares of its common stock.
From  November 12, 1996  through  December  31,  1996,  the Company  repurchased
345,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an average purchase of $3.32.

         For the period  January  1, 1997  through  May 15,  1997,  the  Company
purchased  33,700 shares at an average price of $2.12.  In total,  from November
12, 1996  through May 15, 1997,  the Company  repurchased  378,700  shares at an
average price of $3.22 per share.

         All shares  purchased  through  the  period  ended  March 31,  1997 are
included in treasury stock in the accompanying balance sheet at March 31, 1997.


4.       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

         On September 12, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan
to sell certain assets and liabilities of the Company's oil analysis subsidiary,
Top Source Oil  Analysis,  Inc.,  (currently  inactive)  formerly  named  United
Testing Group, Inc.  ("UTG").  The sale was consummated on October 30, 1996. The
income and losses of UTG for the three and six months  ended  March 31, 1997 and
1996  are  included  in  the   consolidated   statement  of   operations   under
"discontinued operations." Income from discontinued operations for the three and
six month  periods  ended March 31,  1997 is the result of changes in  estimates
relating to cost to dispose of these  operations.  Revenue from such  operations
for both the three and six months  ended March 31,  1997 was $0, and  $1,137,283
and $2,286,135 for the three and six month periods ended in 1996,  respectively,
and was  not  included  in  service  revenue  in the  accompanying  consolidated
statements of operations.


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

Results of Operations

         Total  revenue for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997
was  $5,245,000  and  $8,469,112,   respectively,  compared  to  $3,310,928  and
$6,743,755,  respectively,  for the same periods in fiscal 1996.  The $1,934,072
and  $1,725,357  increase in revenue for the three and six month  periods  ended
March 31, 1997 is primarily  attributable to increased product sales of overhead
speaker systems ("OHSS") at the Company's Top Source Automotive, Inc. subsidiary
("TSA");  it also had  increased  service  revenue  from the  On-Site  Analyzers
("OSAs")  at  Top  Source  Instruments,  Inc.  ("TSI")  formerly  named  On-Site
Analysis,  Inc.  compared  to the same  periods  ended March 31,  1996.  Service
revenue for the three and six month  period  ended March 31, 1997  includes  the
sale of an OSA unit for approximately $145,000 in February 1997.

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

Results of Operations - (Continued)

         The  Company  anticipates  that TSA  revenues  during the third  fiscal
quarter  ending June 30, 1997 will be comparable to second  quarter 1997 levels.
On June 30, 1997,  the Company's  contract to produce OHSS for the Jeep 
Cherokee(TM) expires.  The loss of this  contract  will be  partially  offset by
the  commencement  of OHSS production  line  shipments  in August 1997 for the
new Jeep Grand Cherokee(TM)vehicle.

         Based on existing programs, overall TSA revenue for the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1997, and for fiscal year 1998, excluding any new aftermarket business
that can be obtained, is estimated to be 20% to 35% below comparable fiscal 1997
levels.

         TSA  is  currently  seeking  strategic  relationships  and  has  signed
confidentiality  agreements  with three major  Original  Equipment  Manufacturer
("OEM") suppliers that could result in production line orders for OHSS in fiscal
years after 1998.

         In  addition,  the  Company is  seeking  strategic  relationships  with
several aftermarket suppliers.  One test market program is scheduled to begin in
July 1997. These potential aftermarket programs, if successful,  could result in
significant  1998  revenues;  however,  there can be no  assurances  that  these
contracts  can be obtained,  or that these  contracts  will offset or exceed the
loss of revenues and profits on the Cherokee contract.

         In May 1997,  the  Company  shipped  an OSA unit to an OEM  located  in
Detroit, Michigan for evaluation in powertrain development. Currently, there are
three OSA units being used for powertrain  development  at another  Detroit OEM.
The Company  expects to receive a purchase  order and record revenue in the near
future from the sale of one of the three OSA units at the second OEM.

         On May 16, 1997,  the Company  extended  until  December 31, 1997,  its
letter  agreement  (originally  signed  on  January  10,  1997)  with  Cleveland
Technical Center ("CTC") a division of Conam Inspection,  Inc. (the purchaser of
the  UTG  assets  -  see  Discontinued   Operations)  a  subsidiary  of  Stavely
Industries,  plc.  from the  United  Kingdom,  to jointly  market  OSAs in North
America.  Under the terms of this agreement,  TSI and CTC will jointly establish
pilot  mini-laboratories  for the  purpose of  determining  the value of a North
American  franchise.  The Company  believes it will sign a definitive  franchise
agreement  with  Conam or other  parties  that will  yield  multiple  OSA sales;
however, there can be no assurances as to the timing of this agreement.

         Although   the   commercialization   of  OSAs  has  taken  longer  than
anticipated,  based on the continuing reliability demonstrated by OSA units over
a long period of time, sales and marketing initiatives in progress, and customer
endorsements, the Company anticipates generating an increasing quarterly revenue
stream from OSA units, although there can be no assurances.

         The gross profit margin for three months ended March 31, 1997 was 36.1%
compared to 32.8% for the same period in 1996.  The increase in the gross profit
margin  compared to the prior year is primarily  attributable to decreased labor
and overhead costs relating to product sales at TSA.

Results of Operations - (Continued)

         General and administrative expenses decreased 16.9% for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997  compared to the same period in 1996.  This decrease
is  attributable  to personnel  reductions  in the Company's  corporate  office,
offset by higher  levels of expense at the  Company's  subsidiary,  TSI, for the
comparable periods.

         Selling and  marketing  increased  13.3% for the six months ended March
31, 1997  compared to the same period ended in 1996.  The increase was primarily
attributable to the continued marketing and promotional activities in support of
the OSA.

         Depreciation and  amortization  increased 19.3% and 19.0% for the three
and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same periods in 1996.
The increase is primarily due to purchases of $1,007,369 in capital assets which
consists of additional OSA units at TSI and capital  equipment  expenditures  at
TSA in the six months ended March 31, 1997.  Depreciation  and  amortization  of
$157,842 was  allocated to cost of sales as it directly  relates to the products
and  services  sold  during the six months  ended  March 31,  1997  compared  to
$180,300 for the same period ended in 1996.

         The net income of $51,823  for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1997
compared to a net loss of  ($1,248,010)  in the same period in 1996 is primarily
attributable  to  significantly  increased  product  and service  revenues,  and
reduced general and  administrative  expenses.  The decrease in the year to date
net  loss of  ($780,844)  for six  months  ended  March  31,  1997  compared  to
($1,297,739)  the same period in 1996 is  primarily  attributable  to  increased
product and service revenues.

         The Company  anticipates that profit levels will continue at comparable
levels  through the third fiscal  quarter ending June 30, 1997. On June 30, 1997
(as noted  above) the  Company's  contract at TSA to produce the OHSS for the  
Jeep  Cherokee(TM) expires. The significant negative short term impact of the
loss of this contract on  profitability  will be partially  offset by 
production  of OHSS for the new Grand Cherokee vehicle.  In order to further
reduce the impact on profitability, the Company is (1) seeking  aftermarket 
alliances  at TSA,  (2)  attempting  to increase  revenues of OSA units,  and 
(3) will  implement  cost  reductions,  if necessary. The Company believes that
these measures will be successful, however, there can be no assurances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Net cash used in  operating  activities  was  ($1,000,180)  for the six
months  ended  March 31,  1997.  This  usage of cash was  attributable  to a net
operating  loss of $145,156 which excludes  depreciation,  amortization  and the
loss from discontinued operations, an increase in inventories of $280,154 due to
the model year  changeover on the Chrysler  Jeep  Wrangler,  a decrease in
accounts payable, accrued salaries, and accrued liabilities of $1,125,057.  This
was partially offset by a decrease in accounts  receivable of 386,624,  disposal
of equipment of 178,324 and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $19,072.

             CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  - Continued

Liquidity and Capital Resources - (Continued)

         Net cash provided by investing  activities was $2,755,497.  This source
of cash was attributable to the change in net assets of Top Source Oil Analysis,
Inc. ("TSOA"), formerly UTG, of $3,410,843 and reimbursement of tooling costs of
$361,056,  offset by  $1,007,369  expended  for capital  assets,  and $9,033 for
patent costs.

         Net cash used in financing  activities was ($1,167,953) which consisted
of net proceeds from sales of common stock through  exercise of stock options of
$20,613,  which was offset by the  repurchase of 363,200 shares of the Company's
common  stock at an average  purchase  price of $3.27 per share,  for a total of
$1,188,566.

         Currently,  the Company has a  $3,750,000  credit  facility  with First
Union  Bank  of  Florida,   ("Bank").   This  facility,   which  is  secured  by
substantially  all of the assets of the  Company,  is  comprised of two separate
lines, a $1,500,000 line for short term working capital ("Credit  Line"),  and a
$2,250,000  line to be used  exclusively  for the  purchase  of OSA units  ("OSA
Line".)

         On April 30,  1997,  the Bank  renewed  the Credit  Line until July 31,
1997;  the OSA line expires on December 31, 1997.  The Credit Line which has not
been utilized  since fiscal 1995, and the OSA Line which has never been utilized
were both fully  accessible  at March 31, 1997.  At May 15, 1997 no amounts were
outstanding on either Line.

         On May 12, 1997, the Company  received a definitive  commitment from an
asset based  lender to provide a  $5,000,000  credit  facility to the Company to
replace the Company's  existing  credit  facility.  Pending  completion of final
legal  documentation  and due diligence by both the lender and the Company,  the
Company  anticipates  accepting this  commitment or a similar type of commitment
from another  asset based  lender,  before the  expiration of the Credit Line on
July 31, 1997.  Based on the preliminary  terms of the definitive  commitment, 
the Company would have immediate  current  borrowing  availability of approxi-
mately $3,000,000.

          Based on  current  cash  balances,  the Credit  Line,  and TSA and TSI
revenues, the Company believes it has sufficient cash flow and liquidity to fund
its current operations and anticipated increasing OSA commercialization.

Forward-Looking Statements

         The  statements   discussed  above  under  Results  of  Operations  and

obtaining  aftermarket  revenues at TSA , (4) maintaining  fiscal second quarter
profitability  levels through the third fiscal quarter, (5) developing strategic
relationships, (6) mitigating the financial impact of the loss Cherokee contract
(7) signing a new bank financing  agreement and (8) improving  current liquidity
are  forward-looking  statements  within  the  meaning  of  Section  27A  of the

Forward-Looking Statements - (Continued)

         As the text above  discusses,  the  results  expected  by any or all of
these  forward-looking  statements may not occur.  Important  factors that could
cause actual results to differ  materially from the  forward-looking  statements
include the following:  (1) the decline in current production levels at Chrysler
for  vehicles  installing  OHSS,  (2)  the  continued  reliability  of  the  OSA
technology over an extended period of time, (3) the Company's  ability to market
OSAs in  various  markets,  (4) the  acceptance  of the  OSA  technology  by the
marketplace,  (5) the general  tendency of large  corporations  to slowly change
from known technology to emerging new technology,  (6) the Company's reliance on
a third party to manufacture  OSAs, (7) potential future  competition from third
parties that may develop  proprietary  technology  which either does not violate
the  Company's  proprietary  rights or is claimed not to violate  the  Company's
proprietary rights, and (8) unanticipated  business or legal disagreements which
impacts  the  signing  of  a  definitive  franchise  agreement,  bank  financing
agreement, or strategic relationships.
