              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  Basis of Presentation -

  General -

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by the Registrant ("Gundle Environmental Systems, Inc." or
the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for the fair presentation of such financial statements for the periods
indicated. Certain information relating to the Company's organization and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or
omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim
financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. However, the Company believes that the disclosures herein are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 1994, are not necessarily indicative of
future operating results. It is suggested that these financial statements be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1994.

      The accounting policies followed by the Company in preparing interim
consolidated financial statements are similar to those described in the "Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended March 31, 1994.

      Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents
(outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock) are computed using the
treasury stock method and were excluded from the earnings per share calculations

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter

      For the three months ended December 31, 1994 net sales were $41,741,000
compared with $31,465,000 for the same period last year. The increase in sales
is the result of a 14% increase in unit sales volume and an overall increase in
pricing of 16%. The improved pricing and increased volume was primarily in the
domestic market.

      Bidding activity for the quarter was up over 60% when compared to the same
period last year. Backlog at the end of the quarter was $43.0 million compared
with $38.9 million last year.

      Gross profit for the quarter was $6,513,000 compared with $6,181,000 last
year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 16% versus 20% last year. The
decrease in gross profit is due to raw material costs increasing over 30% when
compared with the prior year combined with poor installation services margins.
Raw material costs are expected to increase over the remainder of the year. The
Company continues to aggressively pass on raw material cost increases to its
customers. However, much of the Company's backlog is at fixed prices, therefore
continued increases in these costs may adversely affect future operating
results.

                                      -7-

      Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,356,000 compared with
$3,745,000 in the prior year. The increase in these expenses from year to year
primarily relates to the addition of our U.K. installation subsidiary earlier
this year and the non-recurring severance costs associated with reorganizing our
installation business this quarter. This reorganization will reduce the costs
and improve the effectiveness of our installation operations.

      The quarterly provision for income taxes was $503,000 compared with
$584,000 in the same period last year. The tax provision in both quarters was
provided at statutory rates adjusted for certain permanent differences.

Year to Date

      Net sales of $112,592,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1994
exceeded sales in the prior year of $101,479,000 by 11%. Overall, pricing
increased 6% when compared with last year and unit sales volumes were up 5%.
Unit sales volumes increased from year to year in both the domestic and
international markets. The improved pricing was in the domestic market.

      Gross profit was $21,101,000 or 19% of sales versus $23,523,000 or 23% of
sales last year. The decrease in gross profit and gross profit percentage was
due to higher raw material costs and lower installation services margins.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses of $12,616,000 were $667,000
or 6% greater than last year due to the addition of our U.K. installation
company and the reorganization of our installation business.

      The Company's provision for income taxes was $2,357,000 compared with
$3,442,000 for the same period last year. The tax provision in both years was
provided at the statutory rates adjusted for certain permanent differences.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At December 31, 1994, the Company had working capital of $45,722,000,
including cash and temporary investments of $7,612,000. The Company's cash,
inventory and receivable balances fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to the
seasonality of sales. The Company's capital structure consists of $26,287,000 in
long term debt and $73,929,000 stockholders' equity as of December 31, 1994.

      The Company has a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility with NationsBank
of Texas. As of December 31, 1994, there was no balance outstanding on the
revolving line of credit. However, letters of credit issued under this facility
totaled $4,856,000 thereby reducing the balance available to $15,144,000. The
letters of credit issued under this facility secure bid and performance bonds
pursuant to construction contracts, in addition to certain other commitments.

      The Company believes that its current cash balance, cash generated by
operations, and the balance available under its revolving

                                      -8-

credit facility are adequate to meet its foreseeable near term cash
requirements.

      The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31,
1994 are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Pricing for the
Company's products and services is principally driven by worldwide manufacturing
capacity in the industry and raw material pricing. The Company's primary raw
material occasionally is in short supply and is subject to substantial price
fluctuation in response to market demand. Any additional increase in worldwide
manufacturing capacity, interruption in raw material supply or abrupt raw
material price increase could have an adverse effect upon the Company's
operating results. Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's
operations.
