Imperial Petroleum Recovery Corporation
(a development stage company)

Notes to Financial Statements

April 30, 1999

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the accounts of
Imperial Petroleum Recovery Corporation (the "Company").  Such statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and pursuant to the regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission; accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) have been included.  The results of operations for the six
month period ended April 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1999.  The accompanying
unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998.

NOTE B - ORGANIZATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES

Organization

Imperial Petroleum Recovery Corporation (a development stage company
incorporated in Nevada) has been in the development stage since commencement
of operations in fiscal year 1995.  The Company is committed to  developing
and marketing a proprietary oil sludge remediation process and equipment that
uses high energy microwaves to separate water, oil and solids.  Principal
operations are conducted in Texas.  The Company's corporate offices are in
Nevada.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE C - REALIZATION OF ASSETS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of
the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company has sustained
substantial losses from operations since inception.  In addition, the Company
has used, rather than provided, cash in its operations.

Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

April 30, 1999

NOTE C - REALIZATION OF ASSETS - Continued

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of
a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying
balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in
turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing
requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain present financing and to
succeed in its future operations.  The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

The Company has taken the following steps to revise its operating and
financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the
Company with the ability to continue in existence.

During December 1998, the Company reached agreements with certain related
party creditors to settle debt in exchange for common stock.

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company extended an agreement with a
major petroleum company for the utilization of its technology.

During the third quarter of 1999, management executed a long-term lease with a
large petroleum company for the use of the Company's technology.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At April 30, 1999, the Company had a working capital deficit of $435,460
as compared to a working capital deficit of $830,278 at October 31, 1998.

     During the six month period ended April 30, 1999, the Company received
net proceeds of approximately $300,000 from the sale of restricted common
stock and additional paid in capital.  During this same period, the Company
used approximately ($443,776) in cash flows in its operations, excluding
changes in assets and liabilities, compared to approximately ($551,851) for
the corresponding period of 1998.  The total net cash used in operations was
approximately ($353,358) for the six month period ended April 30, 1999,
compared to approximately ($650,640) for the corresponding period of 1998.

     During the six month period ended April 30, 1999, the Company used cash
in the amount of ($1,719) in investing activities compared to approximately
($2,231) for the corresponding period of 1998.

     Cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $348,093 for
the six month period  ended April 30, 1999 compared to approximately $668,137
for the corresponding period of 1998.

     During the third quarter of 1999, the Company signed a long-term lease
for its MST System with a major oil refinery. The income stream from these
funds is expected to satisfy immediate and near-term cash flow requirements.
Additional funding and/or cash flow from the sale of the Company's products
will be needed in 1999, however, to sustain the operations of the Company.

     Management feels that it has identified sufficient funds to manufacture
the required MST Systems and has devised arrangements to introduce new,
related products that are expected to increase revenues.  The Company
anticipates steady growth and a strong fiscal third quarter.

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

     The expansion of the Company's introduction of the MST System to major
refineries and petroleum producers has continued with the most recent
performance at Paramount Petroleum Company's refinery at Paramount,
California. The Paramount test is currently on going and should conclude by
the end of June 1999.  To date, the MST-1000 has established new production
and dependability levels beyond those previously projected by Management,
thereby supporting the Company's premise that the MST-1000 can promote
increased production at reduced costs.

     Requests for demonstrations of the MST-1000 System are being submitted by
prospective customers in ever-increasing numbers.  Potential customers submit
oil samples to the Company's test laboratory.  Test results are then discussed
with each prospective customer and an appropriate course of action is
determined for each situation.  In addition to the test results being used as
a planning tool to determine potential customers' needs, the Company is
archiving these test results to create a comprehensive database that will
ultimately be used to enable Management to project the performance of the
Company's technology on various types of emulsions and in various oil regions
and fields of production.

     As expected, on May 10, 1999 the Company executed a three-year lease
agreement with Mobil Oil Company for the use of the MST-1000 at its Torrance,
California facility.  The MST-1000 is currently being manufactured in Houston,
Texas and is expected to be installed and operational at the Mobil facility by
September, 1999.

     The worldwide energy sector, which has been through a difficult period
recently, is beginning to show some improvement. The price of crude oil, which
recently reached a twenty-year low, is on the rise.  However, due to an
emphasis to cut costs, major energy companies continue to consolidate.   This
desire to cut costs of production and recover marketable products from waste
streams has prompted the numerous inquiries into the MST System and ultimately
resulted in the contract with Mobil.

     Industry experts are stating that the glut of oil will not continue.  The
recent trend of reduced production and the rapid decline of U. S. supplies of
crude has resulted in crude prices that have surged 17% in the past month.
Experts now estimate that during the summer of 1999 demand for fuel will be
the highest in history.  As a result of this high demand, the price of crude
oil could be driven to the $20 per barrel range. The Company's management
believes that the improved oil prices will result in continued interest among
the major users of the MST type equipment.

sales of $36,512 from the rental of the MST system to a major refinery
compared to no net sales recorded for the corresponding period of 1998.
