For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Registrant considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three-months or less
to be cash equivalents.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

1.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The consolidated balance sheet of AgriStar Inc. (the "Registrant") as of
September 30, 1995 and the consolidated statement of operations for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994 and
the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994 included herein are unaudited;
however, in the opinion of management, they reflect all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and
changes in financial position of the Registrant at September 30, 1995.  The
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1994.

2.      ACCRUED ACQUISITION COSTS


        The Registrant's 1993 acquisition of certain assets of Stewart Orchids
include quarterly cash payments equal to 10 percent of revenues received from
sales of the acquired inventory through April 1996.  The contingent payments
were recorded as part of the purchase price, and are not to exceed cash of
$280,000  and 300,000 shares of restricted common stock issuable at a rate of
one share of common stock for every $8.33  of revenues from the sale of the
acquired inventory.  The balance payable at September 30, 1995 is payable in
cash of $145,416 and the 300,000  shares of stock.

3.      INVESTMENT IN CONSOLIDATED FOREIGN OWNED SUBSIDIARY

        The Registrant's investment in AgriStar de Venezuela, S.A. consists
primarily of inventory.  Production was discontinued at the micropropagation
facility in 1994, and the investment is not expected to be material to the
Registrant's 1995 financial statements.

4.      INVESTMENT IN MINORITY OWNED SUBSIDIARY

        The Registrant's investment in AgriStar (Asia) Ltd., a 49 percent owned
Hong Kong corporation, is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
The Registrant has no obligation to fund the operating losses of AgriStar (Asia)
Ltd.  Accordingly, the Registrant has not recognized its equity in the operating
losses of AgriStar (Asia) Ltd. beyond its investment.  The investment is not
expected to be material to the Registrant's 1995 financial statements.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Revenues during the three months ended September 30, 1995 were $408,453
as compared with the revenues of $602,091 during the comparable three months
ending September 30, 1994  for a decrease of $193,638.  The decrease was due to
a reduction in sales of AgriStar due to the economic conditions in Mexico. We
changed our sales program from potato exports to producing orchids for sales to
wholesalers.

        The Registrant's gross margin during the quarter ended September 30,
1995 was $206,529  as compared with a gross margin of $395,572  during the
comparable quarter of 1994.  The 50% gross profit on sales was decreased from
the previous year because of drop in exports at AgriStar.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 was $232,706, as compared to $323,927 for the same period of
1994.  The decrease of $91,221 is principally due to decrease in personnel and
other expenses in AgriStar.

        The Registrant, however, continues to suffer from liquidity constraints
and there can be no assurance that the Registrant will be able to pay its
obligations when due.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At September 30, 1995, the Registrant had total assets of $2,094,853
including $1,660,936 of current assets, and total current liabilities of
$564,910.  Accordingly, the Registrant anticipates that its current financial
resources will be adequate for its cash requirements for at least 2 months from
the date of this Report on Form 10-QSB.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Registrant's actual expenditures and the timing of revenues may vary from
current estimates.  In August, the Registrant obtained a loan of $300,000 at 12%
to help purchase inventory and reduce other debt.  When (and if) its current
financial resources are exhausted, the Registrant will, in all likelihood, be
required to seek additional financing from outside sources.  Due to
uncertainties with respect to the timing of revenues from sales, the Registrant
is presently unable to estimate the amount of additional capital that will be
required (if) its current financial resources are exhausted.  The Registrant has
no commitment for such additional financing, if required, and there is no
assurance that the Registrant will be successful in obtaining additional
financing or that such financing, if required, will be on terms acceptable to
the Registrant.
