                       STARTECH ENVIRONMENTAL CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements of Startech Environmental Corporation
(referred to herein as the "Company", unless the context indicates otherwise)
presented herein are unaudited. In our opinion these financial statements
include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position. Results for the nine months ended July 31, 2004 are not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire year. The accompanying financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and
related notes for the year ended October 31, 2003 which are included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended October 31, 2003.

Note 1. Capital Lease Obligation.
---------------------------------

The Company has entered into capital lease obligations for computers and capital
equipment. The term of the leases range from 36 to 48 months, with principal and
interest due in aggregate monthly installments of $1,372 at interest rates
ranging from 9.25% to 19.14%. The equipment capitalized was $35,224 and is being
depreciated over five to fifteen years. Depreciation expense for the nine months
ended July 31, 2004 was $6,323.

Note 2. Equity Transactions.
----------------------------

The following reconciles the number of shares of common stock outstanding to the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the weighted
average number of common and dilutive potential shares of common stock
outstanding for the purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per
common share at July 31 of each period indicated (shares in millions): Diluted
earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of potential
future issuances of common stock relating to stock option programs and other
potentially dilutive securities. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock options is computed using the average market price for
the period. Shares related to convertible debt financing and certain of the
Company's outstanding stock options were excluded because they were not
dilutive, however, these shares could be dilutive in the future. The following
table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

<PAGE>

For the nine months ended July 31, 2004 and July 31, 2003, the effect of the
Company's common stock options and warrants are not included for the diluted
earnings per share calculation since the inclusion of such items would be
anti-dilutive.

At July 31, 2004, there were approximately 18.4 million shares of common stock
and potentially issuable with respect to stock options and warrants, which could
dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

Stock Options

At July 31, 2004, we had two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are
described more fully in Note 6. We have adopted the disclosure provisions
allowed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ('SFAS') No. 148,
'Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- An
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.' In addition, we have elected to continue
using the intrinsic value method to measure the compensation costs of
stock-based awards granted to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board ('APB') Opinion No. 25, 'Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees'; as a
result, we recognize compensation expense for employee stock options granted at
a price less than the market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The
following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share had
stock-based employee compensation been recorded based on the fair value method
under SFAS No. 123.

Option valuation models require highly subjective assumptions, including the
expected stock price volatility, which may be significantly different from those
of traded options. Because changes in subjective assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate, it is our opinion that the existing models do
not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our
stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for
use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting
restrictions and are fully transferable. The pro forma stock-based employee
compensation was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions for each year:

     Expected dividend yield                     N/A               N/A

In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, we use the intrinsic value method to
measure the compensation costs of stock-based awards granted to employees as the
excess of the market value of our common stock on the date of grant over the
amount that must be paid to acquire our common stock. We record these
compensation costs over the vesting period of the stock-based award.

We account for stock-based awards granted to non-employees at fair value in
accordance with SFAS No. 123, 'Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.' In
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ('FASB') Interpretation No.
44, 'Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation,' we
record compensation charges or benefits related to re-priced stock options based
on the market value of our common stock until the re-priced stock options are
exercised, forfeited or expire. At this time no options have been repriced.

Note 3. Cash Flow.

Stock Options

1995 Stock Option Plan

In November 1995, the Company registered 2,000,000 shares of common stock,
issuable upon exercise of stock options issued by the Company under its 1995
Non-qualifying Stock Option Plan (the 1995 Plan) for employees, directors and
other persons associated with the Company whose services have benefited the
Company. The options must be issued within 10 years from November 20, 1995.
Determination of the option price per share and exercise date is at the sole
discretion of the Compensation Committee. During the years ended October 31,
2003, 2002, and 2001, the Company issued 0, 10,000 and 297,500 stock options
under the 1995 Plan, respectively. The options have an exercise price of $3.38
and $5.63 per share, respectively. On the issuance dates, the market value was
the same as the exercise price; therefore, no compensation expense was recorded.
As of July 31, 2004, 8,089 options have not been granted under the 1995 Plan.

The 2000 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options intended to
qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and non-statutory stock
options. Our officers, directors, employees and consultants, and employees and
consultants of our majority-owned affiliated companies, are eligible to receive
awards under the 2000 Plan.

The options may be granted at an exercise price greater than or equal to the
fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant or not less than 110%
of the fair market value in the case of incentive stock options granted to
persons holding more than 10% of the voting power of the Company. Fair market
value for purposes of the 2000 Plan is the closing market price of our common
stock on the relevant date.

2000 Compensation Plan

The Company established the 2000 Stock Compensation Plan which replaced the 1995
Stock Compensation Plan.

The 2000 Compensation Plan authorizes awards of the following type of
equity-based compensation: incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, annual grants of
stock options to directors, stock options to directors in lieu of compensation
for services rendered as directors, and other stock-based awards valued in whole
or in part by reference to stock of the Company. No incentive stock options may
be granted on or after February 1, 2010, nor shall such options remain valid
beyond ten years following the date of grant.

The total number of shares of common stock reserved and available for
distribution under the 2000 Compensation Plan originally was 1,000,000 shares
which may be issued as incentive stock options.

At July 31, 2004, there were 501,089 shares of common stock reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options under all plans and 493,000
shares available for grant of options under the 2000 Compensation Plan.

                                       10
<PAGE>

For the nine months ended July 31, 2004 we granted 130,000 options,
respectively, to its directors and one executive officer. These options were
granted under the 2000 Compensation Plan. Fifty percent of these options vest at
the time of the grant and the other 50% vest six months after date of grant and
expire not more than ten years from date of grant.

The 2000 Compensation Plan is administered by our compensation committee. The
compensation committee has the authority to adopt, amend and repeal the
administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the 2000 Compensation
Plan and to interpret its provisions. The committee selects the recipients of
awards and determines the number of shares of common stock covered by the
options and the dates upon which the options become exercisable and terminate,
subject to provisions of the plan. Incentive stock options must terminate within
ten years of the grant. Non-statutory options must terminate within fifteen
years of the date of grant. The committee has the right to alter the terms of
any option when granted or while outstanding, pursuant to the terms of the plan,
except the option price.

All options automatically become excisable in full in the event of a change in
control, as defined in the 2000 Compensation Plan, death or disability of the
option holder or as decided by the compensation committee. Upon retirement,
options held for at least one year prior thereto become exercisable in full. If
an option holder's employment with us is terminated for any reason, except upon
death, disability or retirement, the option holder has three months in which to
exercise an option, but only to the extent exercisable immediately after
termination, unless the option by its terms expires earlier. Termination or
other changes in employment status may affect the exercise period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Startech is an environmental technology company commercializing its proprietary
plasma processing technology known as the Plasma Converter(TM) that achieves
closed-loop elemental recycling that irreversibly destroys hazardous and
non-hazardous waste and industrial by-products while converting them into useful
commercial products. These products include a rich synthesis gas called PCG
(Plasma Converted Gas)(TM) surplus energy for power, hydrogen, metals and
silicates for use and for sale.

Our core Plasma Converter Technology addresses waste and resource issues by
offering remediation solutions that are integrated with a range of equipment
solutions and services. Our products add value to our customers' business so
they can now realize revenue streams from tipping fees, as well as from the sale
of resulting commodity products and services.

The Company's activities during the four fiscal years, November 1, 1992 to
October 31, 1995 consisted primarily of the research and development of the
Plasma Converter. On November 17, 1995, a company known as Kapalua Acquisitions,
Inc., completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of
the common stock of Startech Corporation, a Connecticut corporation, and then
changed its name to Startech Environmental Corp.

On November 18, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved
a change of the business purpose of Kapalua Acquisitions Inc. from one seeking
an acquisition candidate to one engaged in the business of manufacturing and
selling the Plasma Converter system to recover, recycle, reduce and remediate
hazardous and nonhazardous waste materials. From that time to the date of this
filing, the Company has maintained this as its principal focus.

Since 1995, we have been actively educating the marketplace on the superiority
of plasma over other waste remediation technologies. This ongoing education of
the public and government is continuing today. Similar to other new technologies
we have been met with varying degrees of resistance. In 2001, recognizing the

                                       12
<PAGE>

increasing importance of alternative energy and power sources in general, and
hydrogen in particular, we expanded our product line to include a StarCell (TM)
hydrogen separation technology. Working in conjunction with our core product,
the Plasma Converter(TM), StarCell(TM) will provide a green and renewable source
of hydrogen for power and processing applications. In 2003, due to the factors
mentioned above, as well as the rising comfort level with plasma based
technologies through our educational and informational effort we are now being
greeted by a much more receptive marketplace. We have taken steps to transform
our business model from being solely a seller of equipment to a total solutions
provider, including waste facility ownership or management. This change was
dictated by the needs of our customers and the demands of the marketplace. This
change began in January 2002 and continues to be integrated.

Our business model and its market development strategies arise from our goal,
which is to change the way the world views and employs discarded materials
commonly referred to as waste. We expect to achieve these objectives by
strategically marketing a series of products and services emanating from our
core Plasma Converter (TM) technology, resulting in saleable fossil fuel
alternatives while providing a safer and healthier environment. This shifting
strategy will be implemented through the use of our enhanced business model that
provides for direct sales, build own operate/build own and waste processing
transfer projects, joint development projects, engineering services and direct
equipment sales with after sales support and service.


Background

Startech is an environmental technology corporation that manufactures, markets
and sells a recycling system called the Plasma Converter for the global
marketplace. Until January 2002, we were solely engaged in the manufacture and
sale of equipment for use by others. Thereafter, we have attempted to broaden
the scope of our available revenue opportunities. This change was brought about
by management's decision to expand its market penetration strategies and
opportunities. Rather than only market and sell our products for use by others,
we are now seeking opportunities to become directly involved in the operation
and use of our products. We reconsidered our stated philosophy of not engaging
in the processing of feedstock materials and/or waste and decided that it was
timely to seek out and include all possible market penetration strategies,
including build own operate, build own transfer of ownership, and joint
development projects.

By concentrating on re-positioning our company for long-term growth, we have not
achieved the sales goals we had anticipated would occur in the 2003 fiscal year.
We believe this new way of approaching the market over time will help achieve
maximum penetration in the shortest timeframe.

We believe significant events are driving demand for our Plasma Converter. They
include:

Increases in waste, and in particular hazardous wastes, due to rising
consumer/industrial consumption and population growth in most nations.

Current waste disposal and remediation techniques such as landfills and
incineration are becoming regulatory, socially and environmentally unacceptable.

A need for critical resources such as power and water to sustain local
economies.

The emphasis being placed upon the production of distributed power and the need
to provide alternatives to fossil fuels.

                                       13
<PAGE>

Our core plasma technology addresses these waste and resource issues by offering
remediation solutions that are integrated with a range of equipment solutions
and services. We believe these products will add value to our customers'
business' so they can now realize revenue streams from disposal or processing
fees, a reduction in material disposal costs, as well as from the sale of
resulting commodity products and services. Alternatively, this will allow them
to generate a valuable product while at the same time using a zero cost basis,
or revenue generating source of raw material (waste). The costs of hazardous
waste treatment and disposal methods continue to rise, and now range from
approximately $900 to more than $2,000 per ton. This does not include the
additional processing, handling, packaging, insurance and management costs
sustained by the hazardous waste generator within its facility prior to final
disposal.

Our business model and its market development strategies arise from our mission,
which is to change the way the world views and employs discarded materials; what
many would now call waste we view as a feedstock. We expect to achieve this
objective by strategically marketing a series of products and services emanating
from the core Plasma Converter (TM) technology, resulting in saleable fossil
fuel alternatives while providing a safer and healthier environment. This
strategy will be implemented through Plasma Converter sales with after sales
support and service, build own operate/build own transfer of ownership
facilities, joint development projects and engineering services.


Recent Developments

The Mihama Plasma Converter(TM) in Japan

The system, now owned by Mihama, has been moved and reassembled at Mihama's new
facility near Kobe, Japan where it will be used to safely and irreversibly
destroy PCBs (polychlorinated byphenyls) commercially. Currently Mihama is
constructing a new showroom and demonstration facility to house and operate the
Plasma Converter(TM). Mihama is a Startech distributor for the territory of
Japan and will also use the system to support its Startech sales and marketing
operations and be able to demonstrate a Plasma Converter System in a commercial
operation to its customers.

$34 Million Contract in Italy

On February 17, 2004, the Company announced that it had signed a $34,300,000
contract for the delivery and startup of two 50 ton-per-day Plasma Converter
Systems with FP Immobiliare srl to process electronic waste (e-waste) and
specialty waste in a new FP Immobiliare facility in Frosinone, a city about 50
miles from Rome.

The Customer will be employing lease financing for this program. FP Immobiliare
has been in discussions with leasing companies on securing the financing for the
project. These activities have taken longer than expected, however FP
Immobiliare remains confident that the funding will be completed. Upon the
successful completion of the lease-financing arrangements between the Customer
and the Leasing Company, Startech will receive the first of its scheduled
payments and manufacturing will then commence immediately. The 50 TPD systems
will be built in the Company's 30,000 square foot Broad Street manufacturing
facility in Bristol, Connecticut with the shipment of the first system scheduled
for 11 months after commencement of manufacturing. The customer has asked that a
20 TPD system be inserted in the contract and those contractual arrangements are
in process now.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

This liquidity section contains forward looking statements that are made
pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and
assumptions as described from time to time in registration statements, annual
reports, and other periodic reports and filings of the Company filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. All statements, other than statements of
historical facts, which address the Company's expectations of sources of capital
or which express the Company's expectation for the future with respect to
financial performance or operating strategies can be identified as
forward-looking statements. As a result, there can be no assurance that the
Company's future results will not be materially different from those described
herein as "believed," "anticipated," "estimated" or "expected," which reflect
the current views of the Company with respect to future events. We caution
readers that these forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof.
The Company hereby expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release
publicly any updates or revisions to any such statements to reflect any change
in the Company's expectations or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which such statement is based.

As of July 31, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,984,615 and working
capital of $2,533,475. During the three months ended July 31, 2004, our cash
decreased by $612,722. The decrease in cash resulted primarily from the
operations of the company.

The Company has historically satisfied its capital needs primarily by the sale
of equity securities. We are currently in discussions with several funding
sources to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity
securities. However, there is no assurance that this financing will be available
when needed or that management will be able to obtain this or any additional
financing on terms acceptable to the Company. As stated, we believe these
financing needs will be satisfied but there can be no assurance this will be the
case.

Our investing activities have consisted primarily of short-term, high quality
liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less when purchased,
which are considered cash equivalents. The primary investments are high quality
commercial paper, U.S. treasury notes and Treasury-bills. Unrealized gains and
losses were not material during the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 and
2003. No realized gains or losses were recorded during the three months ended
July 31, 2004 or 2003.

ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We develop products in the United States and market our products in North
America, Japan, Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East, South America as well as
other parts of the world. As a result, our financial results could be affected
by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic
conditions in foreign markets. Because a significant portion of our revenues are
currently denominated in U.S. dollars, a strengthening of the dollar could make
our products less competitive in foreign markets. Our interest income is
sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly
since the majority of our investments are in short - term instruments. Due to
the short-term nature of our investments, we believe that there is not a
material risk exposure.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and
procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The evaluation process, including the inherent
limitations on the effectiveness of such controls and procedures is more fully
discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2003. Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer
and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures are effective.

Part II - Other Information

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDING

On June 5, 2002, the Company received a Demand for Arbitration filed with the
American Arbitration Association in East Hartford, Connecticut by Peter
Francisco and Fran Environmental, LLC. Fran Environmental has a Representatives
Agreement with the Company. Peter Francisco is the principal member of Fran
Environmental. The claim being made is that Startech has failed to provide
proper support to assist this representative in its effort to market and sell
our products in Brazil. The relief sought is for no less than $150,000. The
Company does not believe the claim is subject to Arbitration under the terms of
its agreement with the representative and has so advised the American
Arbitration Association. On January 6, 2003, a temporary injunction was granted
to Startech to stop the arbitration process and conduct a hearing as to whether
a permanent injunction should be granted to enjoin the arbitration proceeding
from continuing. A hearing was held for this purpose on February 24, 2003. A
hearing for the permanent injunction was held on March 22, 2004, the court found
that Startech was not entitled to a permanent injunction and issued an order
compelling arbitration. The issue of whether the claim is subject to arbitration
is still an issue for the arbitrator. That issue was to be decided along with
all other issues at arbitration that was scheduled for July 27, 28, 29 and 30,
2004. We are currently awaiting a decision from the arbitrator. Both parties
have submitted their arbitration briefs and the arbitrator has until September
23, 2004 to render his decision.
