                  TEXAS EQUIPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996







NOTE 1:       BASIS OF PRESENTATION



   The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
   prepared in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principals for
   interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
   10-01 of  Regulations  S-X.  They do not  include all  information  and notes
   required by generally accepted  accounting  principals for complete financial
   statements.  However, except as disclosed,  there has been no material change
   in  the  information  disclosed  in  the  notes  to  consolidated   financial
   statements  included  in the  Annual  Report on Form 10-K of Texas  Equipment
   Corporation  and  Subsidiaries  for the year ended  December 31, 1996. 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 month period  ended March 31, 1997,  are not
   necessarily  indicative  of the  results  that may be  expected  for the year
   ending December 31, 1997.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and results
of Operations.

Revenues increased approximately 45% to $9,885,086 from $6,834,616, in the first
quarter of 1997  compared  to the first  quarter  of 1996.  Gross  margins  also
increased in the first quarter of 1996, to approximately 14% from 11%, resulting
in an increase  of gross  profit to  $1,388,335  from  $758,504,  an increase of
approximately  83%.  These  revenues  are  derived  solely  from  the  company's
agricultural  sales and the increase  reflects the acquisition by the Company of
three additional stores.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased to  $1,253,586 in the
first quarter of 1997  compared to $544,226 in the first quarter of 1996.  While
Commissions,   Salaries,  and  Employee  Benefits  increased  to  $515,537  from
$328,380.  This increase results from increased sales.  Other Operating Expenses
also  increased,  to  $419,200  from  $165,161.  This  increase  is  principally
attributable to accounting and legal fees incurred in the first quarter of 1997.
A significant portion of the accounting and legal fees reflect the cost of being
publicly  held and the cost the Company has  incurred  in  defending  litigation
brought by Messrs.  Braun and Platkin,  principals in the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, Marinex.

Marinex incurred a loss of $228,162 on gross revenues of $60,400. This amount is
included in the Company's Selling, General and Administrative costs. These costs
include  amounts paid to Messrs.  Braun and Platkin,  directors  and officers of
Marinex, as well as legal fees advanced by Marinex in its litigation against the
Company as described in more detail below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Texas  Equipment  Co.,  Inc.,  the  Company's   subsidiary  selling  John  Deere
agricultural  equipment,  continues  to expand its  operations  on a  profitable
basis. This expansion, however, is inhibited by the cost of litigation commenced
by Messrs. Braun and Platkin who together constitute an absolute majority of the
board of  directors  of  Marinex.  As noted below  virtually  all of the working
capital  of  Marinex  has  been  expended  for  legal  expenses  related  to the
litigation and purported salaries for Messrs. Braun and Platkin.

Recently,  the  Company  learned  that in the  first  quarter  of 1997,  Marinex
recorded  $90,000 in prepaid  legal  expenses and $360,000 in prepaid  salaries.
Management of the Company believes,  but does not know, that the $90,000 prepaid
legal  expense is being used to fund legal  expenses of the  litigation  brought
against the Company by Messrs.  Braun and Platkin,  and the  $360,000  represent
prepayments of salaries to Messrs.  Braun and Platkin for the second,  third and
fourth  quarters  of 1997.  The Company is  currently  evaluating  its  options,
including  the  possible   initiation  of  litigation,   with  respect  to  such
prepayments.
