  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 ended March 31,
  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
    
  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 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 given effect 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 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 (see Note 2) 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 quarter ending March 31, 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 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 
fiscal quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 in a more fully described the 
following "Results of Operations".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FISCAL QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL QUARTER ENDED 
MARCH 31, 1995.

CESI, whose operations are predominantly those of its two wholly owned 
subsidiaries MVSI and CDI, had total revenues for the first quarter 1996 of 
$2,625,612, which represented an increase of 5.5% over 1995's first quarter 
of $2,487,845.  Separately, MVSI's revenues for the first quarter 1996 of 
$1,338,294, represents an increase of 22% over 1995's of $1,096,482, 
resulting from increased services provided to a robust offshore drilling 
market. CDI's revenues for the first quarter 1996 of $1,287,318 represents a 
decrease of 8.5% from 1995's first quarter of $1,391,363, due to an 
approximate 8.5% drop in average rental rates, which was not completely 
offset by marginally higher rental fleet utilization.

CESI's cost of services and rentals for the first quarter 1996 were 
$1,644,297, or 63% of total revenues.  This compares to 1995's first quarter 
cost of services and rentals of $1,565,815, or 63% of total revenues.  
Separately, MVSI's cost of services for the first quarter 1996 were $977,768, 
or 73.1% of total service revenues. This compares to 1995's first quarter 
cost of services of $771,790, or 70.4% 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 first 
quarter 1996 were $686,529, or 53.3% of total sales. This compares favorably 
to 1995's first quarter cost of sales of $794,025, or 75.1% of total sales. 
This decrease in cost of rentals is due largely to the capitalization of 
certain costs of deploying numerous units related to a large rental contract 
for CDI's largest customer.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $533,129 for the 
first quarter 1996, or 20.3% of revenues, compared to $508,292, or 20.4% in 
the first quarter 1995.  The modest increase of $24,837 for first quarter 
1996 is attributable to costs associated with higher service revenues at 
MVSI. Depreciation and amortization was $219,507 for the first quarter 1996, 
versus $195,479 for the first quarter 1995, reflecting the additional 
depreciation related to net capital expenditures of depreciable personal 
property, principally at CDI.

Other income and expense, on a combined basis, resulted in a net income of 
$3,763 for the first quarter 1996, up from 1995's first quarter net expense 
of $43,929. This decrease in net other expense in the first quarter 1996 is 
largely the result of a reduction in interest expense  from 1995's first 
quarter of $77,315 to $58,816 in first quarter 1996. The reduction relates 
primarily to the reduced level of fixed rate indebtedness. Gains on equipment 
sales increased to $49,647 in the first quarter 1996 compared to $25,323 in 
the first quarter 1995, reflecting higher levels of dispositions of idle 
compression equipment at CDI.
                                       
Net income from operations totalled $208,679 for the first quarter 1996 
compared to $218,259 for the first quarter 1995.  The modest decline in 
income from operations in the first quarter 1996 primarily reflects the 
increased selling, general and administrative expenses, and higher 
depreciation expense. Net income before taxes was $212,442 for the first 
quarter 1996, a 21.8% increase from 1995's first quarter  amount of $174,330.

The Company's income tax provision for the first quarter 1996 is based on 
operating results from CDI, MVSI and the Company's operations.  The first 
quarter of 1995 does not include an income tax provision for CDI's 
operations, since  prior to the exchange on June 15, 1995, CDL was a limited 
partnership and therefore, no provision for income taxes was recognized for 
the first quarter 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents of $438,867 at March 31, 1996 
decreased $145,540, or 25% from March 31, 1995 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 March 31, 1996 was $2,887,798 compared to 
$3,666,750 at March 31, 1995. The Company reduced its net debt outstanding by 
making principal payments of $1,091,762 and incurring $312,810 of additional 
borrowings since March 31, 1995.  At March 31, 1996, the Company had $285,430 
outstanding borrowings against its revolving credit lines and has available 
borrowings based on the note agreements in force at CDI and MVSI, of 
$1,054,882.  The Company anticipates that it will finance its working capital 
needs from net cash provided by its operating activities and from its 
revolving credit facilities, and/or amending its long-term financing 
agreements.

For the first quarter of 1996, net cash provided by operating activities was 
$543,195 compared to net cash provided of $110,195 in the first quarter 1995. 
The increase was primarily due to increases in accrued liabilities and 
accounts payable.  Net cash used in investing activities increased from 
$17,732 in the first quarter 1995, to $408,626 in the first quarter 1996, due 
to increases in capital expenditures for compression equipment associated 
with the deployment of numerous compressors for a large rental contract for 
CDI's largest customer. Net cash used in financing activities decreased from 
$336,627 in the first quarter 1995, to $17,648 in the first quarter 1996.  
The decrease in cash used was principally attributable to a $100,986 decline 
in partnership distributions because CDI ceased to be a partnership in June 
of 1995, $52,389 less in long term debt payments, coupled with the addition 
of $312,810 of  revolving credit and long-term borrowings.

The Company expects that capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 
year 1996 could range from $250,000 to $300,000, depending upon overall 
market conditions in the compressor rental market.  The Company expects to 
fund these expenditures with a combination of net cash provided by operations 
and the Company's revolving credit facilities, and/or amending its  long-term 
financing agreements.
