PART  I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

General Company Business

PowerCold Corporation and its related companies design, engineer, manufacture,
market and support industrial refrigeration and freezing systems for use world-
wide. Innovative and unique industrial refrigeration products and packages
include evaporative heat exchange systems, ammonia recovery and recycling
systems, non-chemical water treating systems, liquid recirculating packages,
and merchant carbon dioxide plants. The most advanced, cost-effective and
environmentally safe "quick freeze" system has been developed for the food
freezing industry.

The current structure of PowerCold is organized like a holding company with
independent and self sufficient subsidiaries related to the same industry. As
of year end there are three subsidiaries: RealCold Products, Inc., formally
RealCold Maintenance Systems, packaged refrigeration and freezer systems;
Nauticon Inc., refrigeration and evaporative heat exchange systems; Technicold
Services Inc., provides industry consulting and educational services. Related
to the sale of RealCold Systems, Inc., a previous PowerCold subsidiary, to
Wittcold Systems, Inc., the Company receives a long term royalty payment. The
two combined companies provide world wide market support for industrial
refrigeration systems and merchant CO2 plants.

The Company is forming alliances and distribution centers with agents,
distributors and synergistic companies world wide, building a comprehensive
industrial refrigeration and freezer business. PowerCold is continually seeking
related acquisitions and joint venture partners that will compliment its
business and support its growth and goals. The Company is establishing a
relationship for a leasing program, leasing total turn key systems including
products, services, maintenance and supplies.

Management intends to continue to utilize and develop the remaining intangible
assets of the Company. It is Management's opinion that the Company's cash flow
generated from such intangible assets is not impaired, and that recovery of its
intangible assets, upon which profitable operations will be based, will occur.

The Company's mission is to be a solution provider of energy efficient products
for the multi-billion dollar refrigeration, air condition and power industry.
The Company's goal is to achieve profitable growth and increase shareholder
value - providing superior products and services through related acquisitions
and joint ventures.

The Company is currently live on the INTERNET, a world wide information
network. The real time system will provide anyone, shareholder, investor or
customer, with Company news releases, financial data and product information.

Company History:

The Company was originally established in 1988 as a private company, Immersion
Cryogenic Systems Corporation, to fabricate and market its original freezer
systems.

In January l993 the Company's assets were merged into a public entity formerly
known as Marco Ventures, and is currently trading on the Nasdaq Electronic
Bulletin Board with the symbol ICRY. The public Nevada corporation, Marco
Ventures, was originally organized on October 7, 1987 for the purpose of
engaging in the acquisition of any and all types of assets, properties and
                                    2 of 21

businesses. Two of the Company's executives /directors, President and
Treasurer, have been affiliated with the public company since 1988 and were
also affiliated with the private company as directors prior to the merger.

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on July 30, 1992, the shareholders of the
Company approved the recapitalization of the Company Common Stock consisting of
a 100 to 1 reverse split.

Asset Acquisition - On December 28, 1992, the Board of Directors of the Company
agreed to issue 2,414,083 shares of common stock to six individuals for the
exclusive rights to U. S. Patent No. 4,928,492 (May 29, 1990); which provides a
method and apparatus for production treatment of a product through the usage of
a cryogenic liquid and in a manner such that minimum loss of the cryogenic
liquid is encountered. The products that will be processed by this method
includes, but not limited to, food products, computer chips, tires for
recycling, blood and plasma products, and medical utensils that require a high
degree of sterilization.

The total value of the transaction was $724,224.90. Two of the six individuals,
(Terrence J. Dunne and Francis L. Simola) receiving stock in this transaction
are Directors of the Company.  Terrence J. Dunne received 850,000 and Francis
L. Simola received 340,041 shares of stock respectively. This represents 49.3%
of all the common stock issued for the transaction.

The structure and organization of PowerCold as a public entity through 1993 and
1994 was considered as a development stage company. The design, manufacture and
testing of two major freeze machine products, and the restructure from a
private company to a public company expended company time and capital. The
newly designed and manufactured Star Wheel freezer machine was completed and
operating consistently as of March 1994. This was a major undertaking and
technology breakthrough proving that the new immersion freezer design concept
worked. In June 1994 a marketing program was initiated for the freezer machine,
and the progress in business activity projected the company into a true
operating entity. The Company started generating revenue after establishing
RealCold Systems, Inc. and its first acquisition in January 1995.

Subsidiaries - During 1995, PowerCold acquired four companies in the
refrigeration business in a stock exchange transaction. These entities, which
compliment and secure PowerCold's position in the industry, operated as wholly
owned subsidiaries. RealCold Systems, Inc., prior to its sale to Wittcold
Systems, a Wittmann Company, offered custom industrial refrigeration packages
and merchant carbon dioxide plants in a joint venture with The Wittemann
Company. Nauticon, Ltd. offers a product line of evaporative heat exchange
systems for the HVAC and refrigeration industry.  Technicold Services, Inc.
offers consulting engineering services, including process safety management
compliance and ammonia refrigeration and carbon dioxide system design.
Technicold also provides operation, maintenance and safety seminars for ammonia
refrigeration technicians and supervisors. Jordan Vessel Corporation, which
merged into RealCold Systems, offered industrial refrigeration system
components such as liquid recirculating packages and refrigeration system
vessels of all types. RealCold Maintenance Systems, Inc. designs and produces
unique products for the refrigeration industry. RealCold Systems also publishes
a quarterly newsletter, COLD TALK, which reaches over (1800) refrigeration
technicians in the industry.

RealCold Systems Inc. signed a Joint Cooperative Agreement in July 1995 with
The Wittemann Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dover Resources and Dover
Corp. (NYSE - DOV), for the manufacture and marketing of merchant carbon
dioxide plants and refrigeration products. The cooperation agreement combines
the technical expertise and experience of RealCold with the marketing of
Wittemann. Wittemann is the world's leading manufacturer of carbon dioxide
systems and refrigeration accessories employed by brewers and other
                                    3 of 21

fermentation processors. Wittemann has carbon dioxide systems operating in
almost every country in the world. George Briley, President of RealCold Systems
with over 45 years experience, is a renown expert in the innovative design and
building of merchant carbon dioxide systems. This industry combination of
technology, sales and manufacturing experience is unsurpassed and provides an
effective and cost efficient entry for this worldwide market. Subsequently,
Wittcold Systems, Inc., a division of Wittmann Company, acquired RealCold
Systems in July 1997.

In August 1995, PowerCold acquired Nauticon Ltd., a company that manufactures
and markets a product line of innovative evaporative heat exchange systems for
the HVAC and refrigeration industry, representing over five years of
development. The new patented products are innovative and unique in design and
simple to manufacture. They use new material technology with high efficiency
copper tubing to give very high efficiency, low operating costs and minimal
maintenance. The evaporative heat exchangers are self cleaning in most
applications thus eliminating chemical cleaning. The outstanding Nauticon
product features cannot be found in competitive products. Nauticon evaporative
heat exchangers serve the residential, commercial HVAC sector and the
commercial refrigeration industry. They have many applications, varying from
traditional commercial refrigeration to HVAC to industrial cooling. Customers
vary from supermarkets to ice rinks to walk-in coolers for refrigeration
systems. HVAC applications are in smaller commercial buildings, for traditional
air conditioning systems to highly efficient heat pumps. Industrial uses span
plastic molding and extrusion to conventional cooling of process water to
cooling of cutting oils. They are used for condensers, fluid coolers, booster
coolers, and cooling towers. The Company believes that the Nauticon products
may revolutionize the refrigeration industry; an industry that faces serious
changes for the first time in years due to energy and environmental concerns
world wide. The Nauticon application should reduce these traditional concerns
and enhance the industry's growth.

Currently three major operating subsidiaries, Technicold Services, Inc.,
RealCold Products, Inc. and Nauticon Ltd., supported by the parent public
entity, PowerCold, supports all operating activities for the freezing systems,
the refrigeration systems and the evaporative heat exchange systems
respectively. Technicold provides consulting services to the refrigeration
industry, and RealCold Products, Inc. supports all refrigeration and freezer
systems operating from their corporate facility in Cibolo, Texas. Nauticon Ltd.
supports all evaporative heat exchange and refrigeration systems and operations
from their corporate facility in Cibolo, Texas. The corporate manufacturing
facility supports all technical and service product operations including;
design and engineering; assemble and fabrication; administration; marketing,
sales support and consulting services. Sales and marketing activities are
supported by represented agents, dealers and distributors.

Synergy of operations; people and product activity all related with respective
refrigeration product knowledge. People are cross trained and knowledgeable
about all products. Sales agents and distributors may market related industry
products to the same customer. Products produced for the refrigeration business
(compressors, condensers, vessels, parts etc.) are also needed to compliment
the freezing system. Packaged refrigeration systems are a longer sales cycle,
higher sale price; refrigeration products and components, such as Nauticon,
have a shorter sales cycle, lower sale price providing constant cash flow.
Affiliate - In December 1996 the Company agreed in principal to merge/acquire
Rotary Power International, Inc. The Company initially acquired a 30% equity
interest in RPI (2M shares of common stock for $1M), and proposed a merger of
the companies in a stock for stock transaction, whereby RPI would become a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. A Plan of Agreement and Merger was
signed with Rotary Power International, Inc. ("RPI") on March 21, 1997 subject
to RPI shareholder approval.  Each shareholder of RPI will receive .363 shares
of the Company's common stock (1.56M shares) upon shareholder approval.
                                    4 of 21


There were two major reasons for the acquisition of RPI. - The refrigeration
industry desires packaged refrigeration systems and RPI'S engines add growth
value to our products along with packaging ability. Current deregulation of gas
and electric utilities is creating major competitive changes in energy use and
costs. RPI'S natural gas engines enhance the customers' economic benefits by
reducing energy costs while supporting the environment with a clean burning
energy source. Through associated markets overseas there is a complementary
demand and need for energy, (portable generators) and for refrigeration and CO2
systems in remote areas of the world. RPI primarily marketed engines to the US
government and has had multi-million dollar revenue years. The Company now had
the opportunity to commercialize a proven product, that has tens of millions of
dollars and years of development experience behind it.

Packaging of refrigeration systems for supermarkets - RPI has an exclusive
alliance agreement with Hussmann Corporation, the world's largest supplier of
supermarket refrigeration equipment, for marketing RPI'S energy efficient 65
series natural gas engine to supermarkets. Currently 65 series natural gas
engines have been installed in seven supermarkets providing a minimum of 15%
energy savings per store. The estimated 30,000 supermarkets consume 4% energy
use in the US.

Because of the ongoing deregulation of the gas and electric utilities
competition will create new markets for more efficient energy use especially
for commercial refrigeration systems. The Company would have the products
(Nauticon condensers and RPI engines) and management has the experience and
creative ability to package refrigeration systems for the multi-million dollar
commercial refrigeration market.  The Company was forming marketing alliances
with major utility companies and well established refrigeration companies in
the business.

Prior to the decline of RPI as set forth below, RPI was the world's only
manufacturer of stratified charge rotary engines and large rotary engines. RPI
was the internationally recognized leader in the development and
commercialization of rotary engines (15-3000 horsepower) for use in industrial,
marine and hybrid-electric vehicular markets. RPI was formed by Richard M.H.
Thompson, affiliates of Loeb Partners Corporation and management in October
1991 to buy the assets and business of the Rotary Engine Division of John Deere
Technologies International, Inc. In 1984, John Deere had bought the Rotary
Engine Division from Curtiss-Wright Corporation, which had operated it since
1958.

On July 21, 1997, the Company and Rotary Power International, Inc. agreed to
amend Section 1.2 - The Closing by extending the Agreement an additional forty
five (45) days. The First Amendment to the Plan and Agreement of Merger, the
extension on the Plan and Agreement of Merger between the Company and Rotary
Power International, Inc., expired on September 5, 1997, accordingly, the Plan
and Agreement of Merger is no longer in effect.

Since the Company initially entered into an Agreement to merge with Rotary
Power International, Inc., there was a continuing deterioration in Rotary
Power's negative cash flow from operations. Funding provided by the Company,
that initially invested $1,000,000 in equity and the $1,000,000 in proceeds
from bondholders, was not sufficient to support daily cash flow needs through
the first (5) months of 1997. The Company did not have any obligation to
support Rotary Power with any additional financing. In early May the Company
voluntarily loaned Rotary Power $100,000 for back due rent on the building,
$75,000 for the May interest payment on bond debt, and on June 19, 1997 the
Company loaned Rotary Power an additional $41,767 due employees for payroll. In
June 1997 Management decided not to loan Rotary Power any additional funds for
two reasons; the uncertainty of Rotary Power's collateral for the Company's
financing and after receiving documentation from Company's General Counsel
                                    5 of 21

based on his investigation of Rotary Power, which recently uncovered probable
misrepresentation of material financial information by RPI to PowerCold in
December 1996 and thereafter. Currently Rotary Power is in default on accounts
payable due vendors, payments to the landlord, and payments to the bondholders
Trustee. Consequently, Rotary Power International, Inc. requires additional
funding for its daily operations. Therefore, the economic viability and long-
term future of Rotary Power International, Inc. depends on its ability to
obtain additional sources of financing, and there can be no assurance that such
financing can be obtained on acceptable terms or at all.  Due to the
uncertainties and risks of lack of financing, Rotary Power may not continue as
a "going concern" and creditors may force Rotary Power into a reorganization
under Federal Bankruptcy. Management of the Company continues to evaluate the
deteriorating condition of Rotary Power and the feasibility of additional
financing from investors.  If the Plan and Agreement of Merger, extended an
additional (45) days, was approved by Rotary Power shareholders the Company
would have re-evaluated the feasibility of Rotary Power's products and
organization.

In November 1997, a new president took over operations of Rotary Power.
Subsequent events have led to the restructure of the bond debt and creditors.
And management of PowerCold has expressed a major interest is in acquiring the
Natural Gas Engine Business from Rotary Power.

Management:

The Company's business operations are supported by an executive management team
with over 130 years business experience. Their extensive experience and
background is adequately related to the business. CEO - over (30) years
experience in marketing and management; CFO - over (25) years experience in
finance, a CPA with a concentration on SEC audit and public accounting;
Marketing Executive - over (40) years experience in the refrigeration business;
Technical Executive - over (40) years experience in engineering and design, and
a well-known expert consultant in the refrigeration industry. The Company's
organization and management includes marketing and management executives and
sales and support engineers with over (75) years of experience and background
supporting the business.

PowerCold's management philosophy and structure supports decentralized
authority and operations, profit and loss accountability, incentive driven
performance and compensation, and total customer satisfaction. The Company's
management objective is to become a major force with niche products in the
multi-billion dollar refrigeration industry. The Company's goal is to achieve
profitable growth and increase shareholder value by increasing its line of
superior products and services, through acquisitions and joint ventures of
related products and companies.

Products:

Industrial Refrigeration Packages - RealCold Products, Inc. a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, designs and packages commercial refrigeration and
freezer systems. RealCold Products was reorganized with its new name in March
1997, replacing RealCold Systems Inc. and RealCold Maintenance Systems, Inc.
RealCold Products supports all engineering and manufacturing of commercial
refrigeration packages and its freezer systems. Custom innovative refrigeration
products include the following: ammonia recovery and recycling system, non-
chemical water treating system, liquid recirculating packages, and
refrigeration system vessels.

Complimenting the various product lines, the Company intends to market other
various related industry products including automated ice systems which produce
low cost block and sized ice.

                                    6 of 21

Competition - varies from small industrial refrigeration manufactures to the
very large companies in the industry, all competing for this multi billion
dollar industry. The Company envisions an enormous market demand for
refrigeration systems in third world countries. America is well entrenched with
refrigeration systems, but there is a great niche market for the Company's
unique and innovative refrigeration and freezer products. PowerCold and its
related entities have the refrigeration engineering expertise and new
innovative products that are needed and in demand today for an industry that
hasn't seen many changes in the last 30 - 40 years.

Evaporative Heat Exchange Systems - Nauticon Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of
PowerCold manufactures and markets a product line of evaporative heat exchange
systems for the HVAC and refrigeration industry.  The new patented products are
innovative and unique in design, use new material technology, are simple to
manufacture, and have low operating costs. They are used for condensers, fluid
coolers, booster coolers, and cooling towers.

  Condensers for both Refrigeration and HVAC - Capacities range from 60,000 to
  525,000 BTU for refrigeration condensing. Refrigerants may be at different
  incoming temperatures as would be normal for multi-circuit applications.
  Copper coils are compatible with all refrigerants except ammonia.

  Fluid Coolers - Water. oil, glycol - anything compatible with the copper
  coils can be cooled according to each thermal characteristics. The separate
  coils can handle different liquids at the same time, according to needs.

  Booster Coolers - Applies to new or existing applications. Especially
  advantageous in systems now short of capacity, as it can be inserted in the
  existing cooling loop to circumvent the need for an entirely new system.
  Gives low cost additional cooling to refrigerants or liquids plus the multi-
  circuit ability.

  Cooler Tower - Several important differences set this cooling tower apart
  from others. Hot water is dispersed through Nauticon's unique "cyclone" water
  heads - there are no sprinkler moving arms to break, stall or clog.  No
  bottom openings to attract debris, thus polluting the system.

Unique low cost manufacturing procedures are essentially for the same product,
which is offered in four varieties. This is attributed to communality of parts
and manufacturing.  Manufacturing processes and techniques are both simple and
well worked out utilizing low cost labor.

Initially Nauticon's market was primarily mid-range systems (20- 50 ton units)
for mid size industrial and commercial applications. There has been a major
interest from refrigeration manufactures at the trade shows that the larger (80
- 120 ton units) are more desired for their larger applications.  The Company
also envisions an enormous opportunity for the small market - a low end HVAC
system for the home and commercial uses.  A related, but completely separate
opportunity exists in the small unit market for a self contained evaporative
condenser (2.5 to 10 ton units).

Its primary advantage is energy savings, yielding extremely high EER ratings to
not only better, but to offset the regulated change to low efficiency
refrigerants. To be sold as a replacement or new applications and to also be
offered packaged with compressors.

The product is now operating to specifications and Nauticon management is
excited about the prospects for substantial growth in revenues. There are some
70 systems installed to date. Nauticon recently installed 35 condensers at a
new shopping center in California. There is the potential for an additional
systems for other shopping centers. The initial order was very competitive,
whereas the application test ran on site for four weeks. Todate there are over
                                    7 of 21

$500K of proposals out for new system orders projected over the next few
months. Nauticon now has 16 distributors throughout the US, and is in
negotiations with some of the largest refrigeration manufactures for product
manufacturing and marketing alliances. The prospects for these alliances, if
negotiated successfully, should support a revenue growth that will far exceed
current and future revenue projections.

Nauticon hired a new Sales Manager in March 1997 for its line of evaporative
heat exchange  systems. After a few short months as Nauticon's Sales Manager,
Mr. Reece's sales and marketing skills attributed to significant orders and
revenue for Nauticon. Mr. Reece was appointed Vice president of Marketing for
Nauticon in September 1997. Subsequently, Mr. Thomas F. Reece has been elected
a Director and appointed President of Nauticon, Inc., effective October 30,
1997. Mr. Reece came to Nauticon with a very credible background in sales,
marketing and administration of industrial related products. Prior to accepting
the position of Sales Manager for Nauticon, Mr. Reece held successful positions
over the last ten years as a Product Manager, Director of Sales and most
recently Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Administration for Conservatrol
Sales, Greensboro, NC. Mr. Reece's background and experience will support and
enhance Nauticon's position in the industry.

Competition -  Nauticon products could revolutionize the refrigeration
industry; an industry that faces serious changes for the first time in years
due to energy and environmental concerns world wide. The Nauticon application
should reduce these traditional concerns and enhance the industry's growth. The
Company believes that it has a truly unique product concept that serves a very
wide arena of commercial applications for the national market as well as the
international market. Initial marketing of the Nauticon systems will be
primarily the mid-range systems because there is much less competition, a great
advantage to Nauticon and its unique patented product. The larger and smaller
size systems are marketed by some of the major competitors in the industry;
larger systems by Evapco and BAC, smaller systems by York and Carrier. These
competitors are well established and have substantially greater financial and
other resources than Nauticon.

Freezer Systems  - PowerCold's basic system (patented in May l990) quick-
freezes food products by immersing them in a bath of refrigerant, with special
advantages for fragile foods such as fruits and seafood.  Quick freezing forms
a protective, ice-glazed shell around foods with little cellular damage. This
method retains freshness and flavor, and prevents clumping for processing and
packaging. Quick freezing also reduces shrinkage, promotes faster thawing,
extends product quality and shelf life up to four times longer than other
processes. This unique process provides the least cost to freeze per product
pound versus competition. It has environmental advantages over competitive
systems. PowerCold's cost-effective systems use less energy, less refrigerant,
save space, and require no periodic defrosting.

The Quick Freeze System, employing a recoverable liquid refrigerant, provides a
cost effective method for freezing specialty products that are difficult to
freeze employing conventional systems. The Quick Freeze System has advantages
over all existing systems, designed to freeze "specialty" foods, which are
typically difficult to freeze, includes the following: peeled and deveined
shrimp (prawns), fish fillets, sauces (gravies) or other fragile food products.
This system may also be employed in "peeling" systems, sterilization of
surgical instruments, blood freezing and possibly others.

Rotary Drum System - The Company's newly designed Rotary Drum System (patent
pending) receives food product into rotating drum pockets.  Refrigerant enters
each individual pocket from the top of the rotating drum.  While rotating, the
sealed food product and refrigerant in the drum pockets are computer
controlled, cycled and timed for freezing specifications desired.

                                    8 of 21

A small compact, low cost (42" in diameter) rotating drum, constructed of high
density (HMW polymer) plastic and stainless steel, which is insulated and
sealed maintaining a slight positive pressure to prevent air infiltration. Food
product, assembled on a conveyor system, enters sealed rotating drum "pockets".
Liquid refrigerant enters the top sealed rotating drum "pockets" and merges
with the food product. While rotating, the liquid refrigerant is drained off
and the food product remains in the "pockets" for "drying" (evaporation of
refrigerant). Rotation cycle is timed and synchronized to produce the level of
product freezing desired. Food product is discharged from the rotating drum
onto a conveyor system and container. The liquid freezant and vapor gas is
recaptured and recycled.

PowerCold Quick Freeze Process - The Quick Freeze process is based upon the
principles of the low boiling point of low temperature halocarbon refrigerants,
and the subsequent surface heat removal of processed product in an environment
of less than -20. F.  This is, in this case, accomplished with liquid
halocarbon refrigerants, which provides for virtually instant surface freezing.
Upon introducing the product into the process chamber or "pockets", it is
immediately immersed in a liquid bath of refrigerant agent and crust-frozen.
This causes the crystal structure of the liquid in the crust to form a matrix
which interlocks to the firmness similar to that of an egg shell which protects
the delicate inner section which contains the meat, flavoring juices and
aromas.

Competition - Food Freezing:

Mechanical Systems - There are two types of in-line continuous freezing
systems. Each employs a mechanical refrigeration system, usually two staged or
economized. Most of the refrigeration systems employ ammonia as the
refrigerant. IQF fluidized freezers are employed to freeze loose (unpackaged)
vegetables and fruit on a continuous basis. The other mechanical freezing
system employs a spiral conveyor to transport product through the enclosure.
This type freezer is used to freeze both "open" and boxed products.

Liquid Nitrogen Freezers - Cryogenic freezing has been a factor in the food
freezing industry for many years. Its main selling point has been rapid
freezing that provides excellent quality. Its main disadvantage is cost to
freeze.  Two types of nitrogen freezers are available.  One is a spiral, the
other is an air in-line belt (conveyor) freezer.

Carbon Dioxide Freezers - Another cryogen, carbon dioxide (CO2), is also used
for freezing many kinds of food products. The freezer configurations are
similar to liquid nitrogen freezers. CO2 freezers in general have an advantage
over liquid nitrogen that is difficult to overcome and that is cost to freeze.

At the current time management believes there is no substantial market in the
US for the ReelFrez food freezing system, (a RealCold product), because of the
ban on the use of certain refrigerants. Some countries continue to use these
refrigerants, and a recent market study projects a need for thousands of food
freezing systems in third world countries. Management is seeking overseas
alliances for the freezing system.

ITEM  2.       PROPERTIES

The Company maintains its corporate office in Cibolo, Texas, and an executive
office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Cibolo facility is 32,000 sq. ft. and
houses administrative, engineering and manufacturing operations.  WittCold
Systems, Inc. subleased 50% of the facility from the Company for their
engineering and manufacturing operations during 1997.

The Company owns and maintains no properties. Properties are leased on a short
term basis. Management believes that the Company's facilities are adequate for
                                    9 of 21

its operations and are maintained in good condition. The Company is aware of
the growth potential of its operating facilities and is currently reviewing
other plant facilities near their respective locations.

ITEM  3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Management of the Company is seeking to recoup damages from the former
president and director of Nauticon, in connection with Nauticon's acquisition
by the Company. Related to this matter is the ownership of certain patents and
the amount of compensation owned to the former Nauticon shareholder. It is the
opinion of management that this matter will not have any adverse effect on the

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL FINANCIAL ACTIVITY

Forward looking statements made herein are based on current expectations of the
Company that involves a number of risks and uncertainties and should not be
considered as guarantees of future performance. These statements are made under
the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include;
interruptions or cancellation of existing contracts, impact of competitive
products and pricing, product demand and market acceptance risks, the presence
of competitors with greater financial resources than the Company, product
development and commercialization risks and an inability to arrange additional
debt or equity financing.

RealCold Systems, Inc Sale - WittCold Systems, Inc., Palm Coast, Florida, a
Wittemann Company and wholly owned subsidiary of Dover Resources/Dover
Corporation purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
RealCold Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. RealCold Systems
Inc. and The Wittemann Company previously signed a Joint Cooperative Agreement
in June 1995 for the manufacture and marketing of merchant carbon dioxide
plants and refrigeration products.

RealCold System engineers, manufactures and markets custom industrial
refrigeration systems. Wittemann is the world's leading manufacturer of carbon
dioxide systems and refrigeration accessories employed by brewers and other
fermentation processors. Wittemann has carbon dioxide systems operating in
almost every country in the world. The acquisition culminated after a
successful (50/50) cooperative joint venture between the two companies for the
manufacture and marketing of Merchant Carbon Dioxide Plants and Refrigeration
System Packages.

The effective closing date of all financial accounting transactions, between
the two companies, was as of June 30, 1996, the end of the Registrant's second
quarter reporting period. Closing date of the Acquisition Agreement was on July

                                   11 of 21

23, 1996. Terms and conditions of the acquisition agreement between WittCold
Systems, Inc. and the Registrant, are as follows:

The purchase price for the common shares was the aggregate sum of Three Million
Dollars ($3,000,000) plus five percent (5 %) of the Net Sales of Refrigeration
Systems for the ten (10) full calendar years 1996 through 2005 and two and one
half (2 1/2%) of Net Sales of Merchant C02 Systems for the nine (9) full
calendar years 1997 through 2005 (the "Percentage Amount").

If the aggregate Percentage Amount paid to Registrant, as set forth above,
through the year 2005 is not at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), the
Purchaser agrees to pay to Registrant no later than April 30, 2006, the
difference between the aggregate Percentage Amount paid to Registrant and Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
George Briley, a Director and major shareholder of the Registrant, is not
employed by and actively engaged in the Company's business for a period of
three full years after the date of Closing, then the foregoing obligation to
pay a minimum Percentage Amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) is null and
void and Registrant shall be entitled only to the Percentage Amount based on
Actual Net Sales as set forth above.

"Net Sales", as used herein, means payments received from customers less
commissions to non-employee agents, export preparation, inland freight and
forwarding fees, ocean freight, insurance, discounts and all warranty work
performed during the relevant period. The Percentage Amount will be determined
each calendar quarter and any amount due Registrant shall be paid to the
Registrant within thirty days after the end of each calendar quarter starting
January 1, 1997.

RealCold Products Packaging  - In March 1997 RealCold Maintenance Systems
changed its name to RealCold Products. RealCold Products is responsible for
custom packaging of commercial refrigeration systems. There are proposed
alliances with other refrigeration companies, whereas RealCold Products will
package various components adding value for a total turnkey refrigeration
system. Management believes the Company should improve income and profits as
this entity provides the industry expertise for its custom packaged products
during 1998.

Nauticon Reorganization - In March 1997, Nauticon hired Thomas F. Reece as the
new Sales Manager for its line of evaporative heat exchange systems, whereas he
has initiated a new sales and marketing program. Subsequently, Mr. Thomas F.
Reece has been elected a Director and appointed President of Nauticon, Inc.,
effective October 30, 1997.  The evaporative condenser product line is now
operating to specifications after delays in product development. Management is
excited about the prospects for substantial growth in revenues from Nauticon's
operations under Mr. Reece, and projects favorable growth through 1998.

There are some 70 systems installed to date. Nauticon recently installed 35
condensers at a new shopping center in California. There is the potential for
an additional systems for other shopping centers. The initial order was very
competitive, whereas the application test ran on site for four weeks. Todate
there are over $500K of proposals out for new system orders projected over the
next few months. Nauticon now has 16 distributors throughout the US, and is in
negotiations with some of the largest refrigeration manufacturers for product
manufacturing and marketing alliances. The prospects for these alliances, if
negotiated successfully, should support a revenue growth that will far exceed
current and future revenue projections. Primary sales targets are the large
refrigeration manufacturers that could produce and distribute product under
their own private label. Besides marketing direct through agents in the US,
other market outlets will be through major distributors world wide.


                                   12 of 21

Rotary Power International, Inc. Stock Purchase - Per an "Agreement" dated
December 24, 1996 International Cryogenic Systems Corporation (PowerCold")
agreed to invest in Rotary Power International, Inc. ("RPI") the sum of one
million dollars ($1,000,000) in exchange for two million shares (2,000,000) of
RPI common stock.

PowerCold and RPI agreed in principal to merge the two companies in a stock for
stock acquisition, whereby RPI would become a wholly owned subsidiary of
PowerCold. Upon completion of a definitive transaction agreement and approval
by the companies Board of Directors and stockholders, each shareholder of RPI
would receive (.363) shares of PowerCold common stock.  The stock for stock
transaction would result in PowerCold issuing a fixed total number of
(1,516,196) shares of common stock for all the issued and outstanding shares of
RPI common stock at the time of closing and execution of the stock purchase and
merger agreement.

Since the Company initially entered into an Agreement to merge with Rotary
Power International, Inc., there was a continuing deterioration in Rotary
Power's negative cash flow from operations. Funding provided by the Company,
that initially invested $1,000,000 in equity and the $1,000,000 in proceeds
from bondholders, was not sufficient to support daily cash flow needs through
the first (5) months of 1997. The Company did not have any obligation to
support Rotary Power with any additional financing. In early May the Company
voluntarily loaned Rotary Power $100,000 for back due rent on the building,
$75,000 for the May interest payment on bond debt, and on June 19, 1997 the
Company loaned Rotary Power an additional $41,767 due employees for payroll. In
June 1997 Management decided not to loan Rotary Power any additional funds for
two reasons; the uncertainty of Rotary Power's collateral for the Company's
financing and after receiving documentation from Company's General Counsel
based on his investigation of Rotary Power, which recently uncovered probable
misrepresentation of material financial information by RPI to PowerCold in
December 1996 and thereafter. Rotary Power went into default on accounts
payable due vendors, payments to the landlord, and payments to the bondholders
Trustee. Consequently, Rotary Power International, Inc. required additional
funding for its daily operations. Therefore, the economic viability and long-
term future of Rotary Power International, Inc. depended on its ability to
obtain additional sources of financing, and there was no assurance that such
financing can be obtained on acceptable terms or at all.

On July 21, 1997, the Company and Rotary Power International, Inc. agreed to
amend The Closing by extending the Agreement an additional forty five (45)
days. The extension on the Plan and Agreement of Merger between the Company and
Rotary Power International, Inc., expired on September 5, 1997, accordingly,
the Plan and Agreement of Merger is no longer in effect.

In November 1997, a new president took over operations of Rotary Power.
Subsequent events have led to the restructure of the bond debt and creditors.
And management of PowerCold has expressed a major interest is in acquiring the
Natural Gas Engine Business from Rotary Power.

The Company wrote-off the $1,216,767 investment in Rotary Power in 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1997

The following tables sets forth the company's results of operation as a
percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

                                     Year Ended December 31,
                                   1997      1996      1995
                                  -------    -------   -------
          Revenue                  100.0%    100.0%    100.0%
          Cost of revenue           83.3      62.8      91.2
          Gross margin              16.7      37.2       8.8
          Operating expenses     (453.9)      76.7      56.0
          Operating income (loss)(437.2)    (39.5)    (47.2)
          Other income (expense)    22.0     200.2     (1.3)
          Net income (loss)      (694.1)     152.2    (48.5)


Fiscal 1997 - The Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 compared to fiscal year ended December 31,
1996: Total revenue for 1997 was  $ 391,819 compared to $1,451,521 for 1996;
operating loss of ($1,713,203) for 1997 compared to ($573,012) for 1996; and
net loss of ($2,719,633) or ($0.46) per share for 1997 compared to a net income
of $2,208,749 or $0.39 per share for 1996.  Net income (loss) per share was
based on weighted average number of shares of 5,893,000 for 1997 compared to
5,662,000 for 1996.

The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 1997 and December
31, 1996 respectively:  Total current assets were $1,381,736 for 1997 and
$1,502,208 for 1996; total assets were $2,229,357 for 1997 and $5,145,845 for
1996; total liabilities were 817,191 for 1997 and $1,076,319 for 1996; total
stockholders' equity was $1,412,166 for 1997 and $4,069,526  for 1996; and the
Company has no long term debt.
The Company's substantial loss in 1997 over 1996 in net income, total assets
and shareholders equity was due; to the failed merger of Rotary Power, the
additional costs of Nauticon product development and its start-up marketing
program, and the write-off of Goodwill and certain Patent Technology deemed to
be impaired.

The operating loss was due to the acquisition and reorganization of Rotary
Power, maintaining general Company operating overhead including additional
enhancements to the Nauticon product line and the move to new plant facilities
in Cibolo, Texas.  Management wrote off its investment in and advances to
Rotary Power, an unconsolidated affiliate, totaling $1,216,767, and an
additional  $867,807 for Goodwill and Patent Technology for a total write-off
of $2,084,574.

The Company issued a total of 157,00 shares of new common restricted shares in
1997 in satisfaction of recorded liabilities, for expenses and services
rendered in 1997.

Effective as of January 1, 1997, the Company received from WittCold Systems,
Inc., under the RealCold Systems sale agreement, a "percentage amount" payment
on product sales for the next ten years. The company received $58,975 in
royalty payments in 1997.  The cooperative partnership with Wittcold Systems
over the past year has generated proven revenue including ten shipments of CO2
plants for installation in the Far East and mainland China. Over forty
proposals have been submitted for carbon dioxide plants and refrigeration
systems world wide. It is management's understanding that future revenue from
the royalty alliance with WittCold Systems may not be as high as previously
projected for 1998, because of the overseas exchange rate versus the strong US
dollar.

                                   14 of 21

Status of Operations - Management intends to continue to utilize and develop
the intangible assets of the Company. It is Management's opinion that the
Company's cash flow generated from current intangible assets is not impaired,
and that recovery of its intangible assets, upon which profitable operations
will be based, will occur.

Company revenues should continue to improve throughout 1998; because of the new
marketing and sales program, and the positive customer acceptance for Nauticon
condensers, and the new packaging program for RealCold Products.

Management believes that its working capital may not be sufficient to support
both its operations and growth plans for acquisitions and joint ventures for
the near future. Management is currently in negotiations with related
businesses. Therefore to support the Company's growth and goals, management is
seeking additional funding for this purpose.

PREVIOUS FINANCIAL ACTIVITY - 1996

The following tables sets forth the company's results of operation as a

fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 compared to fiscal year ended December 31,
1995: Total revenue for 1996 was $1,451,521 compared to $2,243,752 for 1995;
operating loss of ($573,012) for 1996 compared to ($1.060,002) for 1995; and
net income of $2,208,749 or $0.39 per share for 1996 compared to a net loss of
($1,088,949) or ($0.23) per share for 1995.  Net income (loss) per share was
based on weighted average number of shares of 5,662,000 for 1996 compared to
4,776,000 for 1995.

The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 1996 and December
31, 1995 respectively:  Total current assets were $1,502,208 for 1996 and
$293,075 for 1995; total assets were $5,145,845 for 1996 and $2,298,761 for
1995; total liabilities were $1,076,319 for 1996 and $759,021 for 1995; total
stockholders' equity was $4,069,526 for 1996 and $1,539,740 for 1995; and the
Company has no long term debt.

The Company's substantial gain in 1996 over 1995 in net income, total assets
and shareholders equity was due to the sale of RealCold Systems, Inc.

RealCold Systems Inc. and The Wittemann Company previously signed a Joint
Cooperative Agreement in June 1995 for the manufacture and marketing of
merchant carbon dioxide plants and refrigeration products. The acquisition of
RealCold Systems, Inc. by Wittcold Systems, Inc., a Wittemann Company,
culminated after a successful (50/50) cooperative joint venture between the two
companies for the manufacture and marketing of Merchant Carbon Dioxide Plants
and Refrigeration System Packages. The effective closing date of all financial
accounting transactions, between the two companies, was as of June 30, 1996,
the end of the Company's second quarter reporting period. Effective July 1,
1996 all shipped and billed revenue and all other recorder accounting for
RealCold Systems, Inc. was recorded by Wittcold Systems, Inc. Sales revenue
                                   15 of 21

booked and shipped by Wittcold Systems, Inc. for 1996, the first year of the
joint operation, was $6,560,013 and order backlog was over $1,000,000, which is
scheduled for delivery throughout the first and second quarter 1996. Effective
January 1, 1997, the Company will receive from Wittcold Systems, Inc., under
the sale agreement, a "percentage amount" payment on product sales for the next
ten years, as previously stated.

The Company issued a total of 467,035 shares of common stock in 1996: 173,035
restricted shares at $1.00 per share were issued in satisfaction of recorded
liabilities, for expenses and services rendered in 1995 and prior years;
169,000 restricted shares at $0.50 per share for expenses and services rendered
in 1996; 125,000 restricted shares at $0.50 per share for financial
services/working capital for the Company (replaced a Company Director shares).

In March 1997 RealCold Maintenance Systems changed its name to RealCold
Products. RealCold Products will be responsible for the manufacturing and sale
of commercial refrigeration systems which will include Nauticon condensers and
the Rotary Power engines. Management believes the Company should improve income
and profits as this entity improves its operations and sales increase during
the next year.

Nauticon, as a relatively new operating subsidiary continues to see favorable
results from its operations. Some twenty-five systems have been shipped and
installed todate. Nauticon, after initiating their sales and marketing program,
has been successful promoting their evaporative condenser system at various
trade shows. They have hosted a number of interested visitors, (both from the
United States and foreign countries), who represent very significant markets
for their products. Primary sales targets are the large refrigeration
manufacturers that could produce and distribute product under their own private
label. Besides marketing direct through agents in the US, other market outlets
will be through major distributors world wide. Besides the US, Nauticon has
shipped systems to Israel and Mexico, and to a prospective distributor in
Costra Rica, where the Company anticipates additional orders for Central and
South America. In March 1997, Nauticon hired a Sales Manager to oversee all
sales and marketing activity.
Company executives representing Nauticon and executives from two major
manufacturers of refrigeration equipment have exchanged facility visits, the
result being that one major Company has successfully tested a Nauticon system
at their testing facility. A joint manufacturing and market program is being
proposed by both parties for implementation this year. Other major
refrigeration companies have expressed great interest in pursuing a joint
cooperative manufacturing and marketing venture with Nauticon. Management also
believes that there are many opportunities for licensing the Nauticon
technology to major manufactures in the US and foreign countries.

matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures
or auditing scope of procedure.

                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


      To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
      PowerCold Corporation


      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
      PowerCold Corporation (formerly International Cryogenic Systems
      Corporation) and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1997
      and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
      stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These
      financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
      management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
      consolidated financial statements based on our audit.  The financial
      statements of the Company for 1996 and 1995 were audited by other
      auditors, whose report, dated  March 7, 1997, included an explanatory
      paragraph describing the uncertainty of the recovery of the Company's
      primary assets, comprising patent rights and related technology of
      $1,155,986 and goodwill of $491,892.

      We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
      standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
      to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
      are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
      test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
      financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
      principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
      as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
      believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
      above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
      financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1997, and the
      consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the
      year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
      principles.

      Intangible assets, which comprise a material portion of the Company's
      assets, include patent rights and related technology of $508,153 and
      goodwill of $73,688, as of December 31, 1997.  The recovery of these
      intangible assets is dependent upon achieving profitable operations
      and favorable resolution of the matter discussed in note 13.  The
      ultimate outcome of these uncertainties cannot presently be
      determined.  Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any
      adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

                    POWERCOLD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1.  Background and Basis of Presentation

Background

PowerCold Corporation, formerly International Cryogenic Systems Corporation,
(the "Company") was incorporated on October 7, 1987 in the State of Nevada, and
operates in one business segment, the development, design, manufacture,
distribution, and servicing of refrigeration systems.  The Company changed to
its current name in 1997.

On December 28, 1992, the Company acquired the patent rights (U.S. Patent No.
4,928,492) and related engineering and technology to a process of quick
freezing food products, and cleaning and treating various nonfood products by
using a circulating cryogenic liquid in a closed pressurized vessel system, in
exchange for 2,414,083 shares of common stock.  The common stock was valued at
$.30 per share, which was determined by management to be the fair market value.
Two directors of the Company were also directors of the company selling such
patent rights.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue as a going concern, and that recovery of its
intangible assets, primarily patent rights and related technology and goodwill,
will occur.  The Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and recover
the value of its intangible assets is dependent upon achieving profitable
operations and the favorable resolution of the matter discussed in note 13.
The ultimate outcome of these uncertainties cannot be presently determined.
Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of these uncertainties.


 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and
transactions.  Wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company in 1997, after
dispositions (note 4), include Technicold Services, Inc., RealCold Products,
Inc., and Nauticon Ltd.  Wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company in 1996
include Technicold Services, Inc., RealCold Products, Inc., Jordan Vessel
Corporation, RealCold Systems, Inc., and Nauticon Ltd.  Investments in
affiliates, representing 20% to 50% of the ownership of such companies, are
accounted for using the equity method.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with original maturities at purchase date of
three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Investment in Securities

Investments in debt and marketable equity securities are designated as trading,
held to maturity, or available for sale in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  Trading securities are reported at
fair value, with changes in fair value included in earnings.  Available-for-
sale securities are reported at fair value, with net unrealized gains and
losses included as a component of equity.  Held-to-maturity securities are
reported at amortized cost.  Gains and losses on the sale of securities are
determined using the specific identification method.  For all investment
securities, unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized as a
charge against earnings in the period incurred.  Market value is determined
based on quoted market prices.  At December 31, 1997 and 1996, all of the
Company's investment securities were classified as available for sale.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally
three to seven years.  Expenditures that increase the value or extend the life
of an asset are capitalized, while cost of maintenance and repairs are expensed
as incurred.  Gains or losses upon disposal of assets are recognized in income.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.  The
cost of intellectual property purchased from others that are immediately
marketable or that have an alternative future use are capitalized and amortized
as intangible assets.  Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line
method over the estimated economic life of the related asset, typically 10
years.  At December 31, 1997 and 1996, capitalized patent development costs,
net of amortization, were $508,153, and $1,155,986, respectively.  Amortization
expense was $139,732 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and
$101,606 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Company periodically reviews
its capitalized patent costs to assess recoverability based on the projected
undiscounted cash flows from operations.  Impairments are recognized in
operating results when a permanent diminution in value occurs.  During 1997,
patents, net of amortization of $508,100 were deemed to be impaired, and were
charged to general and administrative operating expenses.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment to the
customer.  Service revenue is recognized when services are performed and
billable.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related direct costs
over the fair value of net assets acquired as of the date of the acquisition.
Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years.  Amortization of
goodwill amounted to $58,497, $56,971, and $40,687 for the years ended December
31,1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.  Accumulated amortization amounted to
$151,575 and $93,078 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The Company
periodically reviews its goodwill to assess recoverability based on projected
undiscounted cash flows from operations.  Impairments are recognized in
operating results when a permanent diminution in value occurs.  During 1997,
goodwill, net of amortization, of $359,707 was deemed to be impaired, and was
charged to general and administrative operating expenses.


Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

On March 3, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"("SFAS No. 128").
This pronouncement provides a different method of calculating earnings per
share than is currently used in accordance with APB No. 15, "Earnings Per
Share."  SFAS No. 128 provides for calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted"
earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is
computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings
per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the
earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share.  The Company
adopted SFAS No. 128 in 1998 and its implementation did not have a material
effect on the financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this
method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts within the 1996 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in the design,
development, and printing of Company literature and marketing materials.  The
Company expenses all advertising expenditures as incurred.  The Company's
advertising expenses were approximately $1,060, $16,908, and $2,062 for the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out
basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts or revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of
credit risk, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 105,
"Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet
Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk," consists
primarily of cash and cash equivalents, cash invested through related party,
trade accounts receivable, investments in securities available for sale, and
restricted cash.  Cash and cash equivalents exceeded FDIC insurance coverage
limits by $348,215 at December 31, 1996.  The Company maintains its cash and
cash equivalents in major, creditworthy financial institutions and has not
experienced any losses on its deposits.  The Company's receivables do not
represent a significant concentration of credit risk at December 31, 1997 and
1996.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," include cash and cash equivalents, cash invested through related
party, trade accounts receivable, investment in securities available for sale,
restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term borrowings.
All instruments other than the investment in securities available for sale are
accounted for on a historical cost basis which, due to the short maturity of
these financial instruments, approximates fair value at December 31, 1997 and
1996.  Investments insecurities available for sale are recorded at fair value
at December 31,1997 and 1996.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129") effective for periods ending after
December 15, 1997, establishes standards for disclosing information about an
entity's capital structure.  SFAS 129 requires disclosure of the pertinent
rights and privileges of various securities outstanding (stock, options,
warrants, preferred stock, debt, and participation rights) including dividend
and liquidation preferences, participant rights, call prices and dates,
conversion or exercise prices, and redemption requirements.  The Company
adopted SFAS 129 during 1997 and its implementation had no effect on the
Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards (continued)

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
130"), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income, its components, and accumulated balances.  Comprehensive income is
defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions to owners.  Among other disclosures,
SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported
in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements.

SFAS 130 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997 and requires comparative information for earlier years to be
restated.  Because of the recent issuance of this standard, management has been
unable to fully evaluate the impact, if any, the standard may have on future
financial statement disclosures.  Results of operations and financial position,
however, will be unaffected by implementation of this standard.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"  ("SFAS
131"), which supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a
Business Enterprise."   SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public
companies report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating
segments in interim financial statements issued to the public.  It also
establishes standards for disclosure regarding products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers.  SFAS 131 defines operating segments as
components of a company about which separate financial information is available
that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding
how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

SFAS 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997 and requires comparative information for earlier years to be
restated.  Because of the recent issuance of this standard, management has been
unable to fully evaluate the impact, if any, it may have on future financial
statement disclosures.  Results of operations and financial position, however,
will be unaffected by implementation of this standard.

Investment in Affiliate

On December 24, 1996, the Company agreed to invest in Rotary Power
International, Inc. ("RPI") the sum of $1,000,000 in exchange for two million
shares of RPI common stock.  As the Company's investment in RPI represents less
than a 50% interest in RPI, the equity method was used to account for the
Company's interest in RPI.  The Company advanced additional funds of $216,768
to RPI during 1997.  Because of  RPI's deteriorate financial condition and
increasing losses, management of the Company wrote off its outstanding
investment and advances to RPI during 1997.

RealCold Systems, Inc.

On May 1, 1996, the Company sold the common stock of RealCold Systems, Inc. to
Wittcold Systems, Inc. ("Wittcold"), formerly Wittemann Company, Inc., a party
to the Joint Cooperation Agreement entered into by the Company in June 1995.
In consideration for the common stock of RealCold Systems, Inc., the Company
received from Wittcold the sum of $2,800,000 in cash, $200,000 in cash held in
escrow, which is to be released to the Company on the second anniversary of the
sale's closing, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and the ability
to earn additional consideration("earnout") as determined by a percentage of
future net sales.  The earnout is structured to provide additional
consideration in the amount of five (5%) percent of the net sales of
refrigeration systems for ten full calendar years beginning in 1996 and ending
in 2005, and two and one-half (2 1/2%) of net sales of merchant systems for
nine full calendar years beginning in 1997 and ending in 2005.  For purposes of
calculating the earnout, net sales is defined as payments received from
customers less commissions to nonemployee agents, export preparation, inland
freight and forwarding fees, ocean freight, insurance, discounts, and all
warranty work performed during the relevant period.  The sales agreement
further provides a minimum guaranteed royalty from Wittcold, contingent upon
the continued employment by the Company of a certain employee for three full
years after the date of closing, whereupon the Company will receive $2,000,000
("minimum earnout") no later than April 30, 2006 in the event the earnout
consideration, as calculated on a percentage of net sales, does not exceed the
minimum earnout.  The Company began recording revenues on the earnout during
1997.

As a result of the sale of RealCold Systems, Inc., the Company has recorded a
gain in the amount of $2,888,513:

13.  Litigation

Management of the Company is seeking to recoup damages from the former
president and shareholder of Nauticon, in connection with Nauticon's
acquisition by the Company.  Related to this matter is the ownership of certain
patents ($508,153 carrying value at December 31, 1997) and the amount of
compensation owed to the former Nauticon shareholder ($88,600 accrued and
included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 1997). The
former Nauticon shareholder was granted options to purchase 133,763 shares of

matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
