NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of 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. Operating results for 
the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 
31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial 
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company and 
Subsidiaries annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 
1995.

NOTE 2 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

COMPRESSOR DYNAMICS, INC. ("CDI")

On June 15, 1995, the Company issued 7,774,334 (post split) shares of its 
common stock and 319,174 shares of newly authorized Series A Preferred Stock, 
$.01 par value, to the partners of Compressor Dynamics, Ltd. ("CDL") in 
exchange all of such partners' interests in CDL, which constituted 100% of 
such interests (the "Exchange Agreement").  The shares of common stock issued 
in the CDL acquisition constituted approximately 60% of the common stock of 
the Company then outstanding. The CDL acquisition has been accounted for  as 
though it had been effective for all periods covered by the accompanying 
financial statements.  Because the Company and CDL are effectively controlled 
by a common entity (The Catalyst Group, Inc.), all assets and liabilities 
transferred in the CDL acquisition have been accounted for at their 
historical cost, in a manner similar to that in a pooling of interests.

NOTE 3 PRO FORMA PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The partnership status of CDL was terminated with the Exchange Agreement as 
of June 15, 1995.  To reflect the earnings of CESI on an after-tax basis, an 
unaudited pro forma provision for income tax has been included in the 
accompanying Statements of Operations for the three months and six months 
ended June 30, 1995.  This provision was computed as if the former 
partnership were a C Corporation and responsible for its federal and state 
income taxes.

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

In August 1994, CESI acquired Manifold Valve Services, Inc. ("MVSI").  In 
June of 1995, CESI merged with CDL through an exchange pursuant to the 
Exchange Agreement accounted for following a method similar to pooling of 
interests accounting.  As a result of these developments and the related 
accounting treatment of these events, CESI reports the consolidated results 
for MVSI and CDI (formerly CDL) for the three months and six months ended 
June 30, 1996 and 1995 in a more fully described the following "Results of 
Operations".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.

CESI, whose operations are predominantly those of its two wholly-owned 
subsidiaries MVSI and CDI, had total revenues for the second quarter 1996 of 
$2,906,069, which represented an increase of 9.2% over 1995's second quarter 
of $2,661,705.  Separately, MVSI's revenues for the second quarter 1996 of 
$1,537,043, represents an increase of 15% over 1995's of $1,337,191 resulting 
from increased custom fabrication services provided to a robust domestic 
offshore drilling market. CDI's revenues for the second quarter 1996 of 
$1,369,026 represents an increase of 3.3% from 1995's second quarter of 
$1,324,514, from marginally higher rental fleet utilization. 

CESI's cost of services and rentals for the second quarter 1996 were 
$1,748,880, or 60% of total revenues.  This compares to 1995's second quarter 
cost of services and rentals of $1,593,156, or 60% of total revenues.  
Separately, MVSI's cost of services for the second quarter 1996 were 
$1,004,904, or 65% of total service revenues.  This compares to 1995's second 
quarter cost of services of $832,131, or 62% of total sales.   The increase 
in cost of services, results largely from the mix of service revenues between 
labor hours and equipment sales.  Labor hour margins are generally less 
attractive than margins on the sale of equipment.  CDI's cost of rentals for 
the second quarter 1996 were $743,976, or 54.3% of total sales.  This 
compares favorably to 1995's second quarter cost of sales of $761,025, or 
57.5% of total sales.  The decrease is due largely to lower field repair and 
maintenance costs.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $463,023 for the 
second quarter 1996, or 15.9% of revenues, compared to $548,647, or 20.6% in 
the second quarter 1995.  The modest decrease of $85,624 is attributable to 
lower management incentive bonuses at MVSI and lower payroll costs resulting 
from staffing reductions at CDI.  Depreciation and amortization expense was 
$226,113 for the second quarter 1996, versus $224,700 for the first quarter 
1995, reflecting the additional depreciation expense related to net capital 
expenditures of depreciable compression equipment at CDI.

Other income and expense, on a combined basis, resulted in a net other 
expense of $57,316 for the second quarter 1996, up from 1995's second quarter 
net other income of $28,186.  This increase in net other expense in the 
second quarter 1996 is largely the result of a lower 1996 level of idle or 
surplus equipment dispositions at CDI.


                                       7

<PAGE>

Net income from operations totalled $468,053 for the second quarter 1996 
compared to $295,202 for the second quarter 1995.  The 58% increase primarily 
reflects the lower selling, general and administrative expenses relative to a 
higher gross margin.  Net income before taxes was $410,737 for the second 
quarter 1996, a 27% increase from 1995's second quarter amount of $323,388. 

The Company's income tax provision for the second quarter 1996  of $152,556 
is based on operating results from CDI, MVSI and the Company's operations.  
The second quarter of 1995  includes a current income tax provision of 
$376,933 for the operations which are only to serve as the holding company 
for the subsidiaries of MVSI and the Company, a current provision for only 
the last 15 days of the quarter for CDI's operations and a one time deferred 
income tax provision of $258,447 to provide for the effect of temporary 
differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of certain assets 
and liabilities of CDI resulting from the consummation of the Exchange 
Agreement.  Prior to the Exchange, CDL (CDI's predecessor) was a limited 
partnership and therefore, no provision for income taxes was recognized.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased $382,131 or 
7.4% over the same 1995 period.  Service revenues at MVSI increased $441,664 
or 18% from 1995 to 1996, principally attributable to the expansion of 
services provided to the domestic offshore drilling industry.  Rental 
revenues at CDI decreased by $59,533 or 2.2% largely due to a 10% decline in 
average rental rates which was somewhat offset by marginal increases (3.8%) 
in rental fleet utilization.

Costs of services and rentals for the 1996 six month period increased by 
$254,207 or 8% over the comparable 1995 period.  Costs of service at MVSI for 
the 1996 six month period increased by $378,752 or 23.6% over the comparable 
1995 period as a result of higher revenues from custom fabrication work, 
which generally yields marginally lower gross profit margin than MVSI's 
manifold and valve repair service work.  CDI's costs of rental revenues for 
the 1996 six month period decreased by $124,545 or 8% over the comparable 
1995 period.  The decline was primarily due to lower field repair and 
maintenance costs coupled with the capitalization of certain costs of 
deploying numerous compressor units related to a 1996 make ready and 
mobilization for a large rental contract for CDI's largest customer.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $60,788, or 5.8% 
lower in the six month period in 1996 than the comparable 1995 period.  The 
decline is due to lower management incentive bonuses at MVSI and lower 
employment related costs from staffing reductions at CDI.  Depreciation and 
amortization expense increased by $25,442 reflecting the additional 
depreciation on 1996 capital expenditures at CDI, related primarily to the 
mobilization and make ready referred to above.

Other income and expense, resulted in $53,553 of other net expense for the 
1996 six month period up from $15,744 of other net expense in the comparable 
six month period of 1995.  The $37,809 increase was attributable to lower 
gains on sales of compression rental equipment ($53,500) offset somewhat by 
lower interest expense ($27,740), resulting from a reduced level of average 
outstanding debt, for the six month period in 1996.


                                       8

<PAGE>

Net income from operations totalled $676,732 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 compared to $513,462 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The 32%
increase reflects higher revenues coupled with a $60,788, or 5.8%, decline in
SG&A expenses.  Net income before taxes increased by 25% from $497,718 for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 to $623,179 for the six months ended June 30,
1996.

The Company's income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 1996 is
based on operating results from CDI, MVSI and the Company's operations, which
are only to serve as a holding company for the subsidiaries.  The six months
ended June 30, 1995 includes a current income tax provision for the operations
of MVSI and the Company, a current provision for only the last 15 days of the
period for CDI's operations and  a one-time deferred income tax provision of
$258,447 to provide for the effect of temporary differences between the tax and
financial reporting bases of certain assets and liabilities of CDI resulting
from the consummation of the Exchange Agreement.  Prior to the Exchange, CDL
(CDI's predecessor) was a limited partnership and therefore, no provision for
income taxes was recognized.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents of $459,137 at June 30, 1996 decreased
28% from June 30, 1995 balance of $633,898 due to the repayment of long-term
debt and capital expenditures in excess of net cash provided by operating
activities for 1996.

Total debt outstanding at June 30, 1996 was $3,163,273 compared to $3,330,788 at
June 30, 1995. The Company reduced its net outstanding debt by making principal
payments of $937,556 and incurring $770,041 of additional borrowings since June
30, 1995.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had $742,661 outstanding borrowings
against the CDI revolving credit line and has available borrowings based on the
note agreements in force at CDI and MVSI, of $689,700.  The Company amended the
terms of CDI's long-term financing agreements effective August 1, 1996 reducing
CDI's term note principal payments from $166,666 to $125,000 per quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net cash provided by operating
activities was $486,914 compared to net cash provided of $516,451 in the
comparable 1995 period. The $29,537 decrease was primarily due to increase in
accounts receivables and decreases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and
income taxes payable.  In the second quarter 1995 investing activities were a
$21,052 source of cash, compared to a $754,756 use of cash in the second quarter
1996.  Increases in capital expenditures for compression equipment associated
with the deployment of compressors for a large rental contract for CDI's largest
customer was the primary reason for the change.   For the six months of  1995,
financing activities used $672,589 in cash versus providing $754,756 in cash for
the six months of 1996. The increase in net cash provided resulted from $742,661
in borrowing on CDI's revolving line of credit to fund capital expenditures.

The Company expects that capital expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal
year 1996 could range from $300,000 to $400,000, depending upon overall market
conditions in the compressor rental market and capital equipment expansion
projects at MVSI.  The Company expects to fund these expenditures with a
combination of net cash provided from operations and/or the Company's revolving
credit facilities.
