                       STARTECH ENVIRONMENTAL CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

STARTECH   Environmental   Corporation   (the   "Company")  is  engaged  in  the
commercialization   and  continued   development  of  an  innovative  processing
technology for recycling industrial wastes.

Net profit  (loss) per share is  determined by dividing net profit (loss) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding  during the period.  Common
share equivalents,  which consist of stock that may be issuable upon exercise of
outstanding  stock  options and  warrants,  have been excluded from the weighted
average number of common shares since their effect is anti-dilutive.

Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made for  consistent  presentation.  The
reclassifications  have no effect on the net profit  (loss) for the period ended
April 30, 1999.

The information furnished is unaudited and reflects all adjustments  (consisting
of only normal recurring  adjustments) which, in the opinion of management,  are
necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the  financial  position  and results of
operations for the interim periods. The accompanying financial statements should
be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's  financial  statements  and related
footnotes  for the year  ended  October  31,  1998,  which are  included  in the
Company's  annual report on form 10-K. The results of operations for the quarter
ended April 30, 1999 do not  necessarily  indicate the results  expected for the
full year.


Note 2.  Equity Transactions

During the quarter ended April 30, 1999, there were no equity transactions.

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


Results of Operations
---------------------

1999 vs 1998
------------

In 1999 the Company earned  $1,645,780 in revenue for professional  services and
equipment  sales to the Unites States  Government  (Department of the Army).  In
1998 the Company earned $37,000 in revenue for professional services.  Operating
expenses  were  $341,666 in the quarter  ended April 30, 1999  ($615,660 for six
months)  compared with $365,593 in the quarter and $550,259 for the six months a
year ago. The nature of the  operating  expenses  continue to be  primarily  for
selling, demonstration and general and administrative purposes.

The Registrant was  incorporated  under the laws of the State of Colorado in May
1991 and has been dormant from 1991 to 1995.  During fiscal 1995, the Registrant
entered into  negotiations  with Startech  Incorporated  that  culminated in the
acquisition of Startech on November 17, 1995.

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

Registrant is and will continue to be dependent upon capital  contributions from
shareholders,  outside investors and bank loans for its operating  capital.  The
Registrant's  capital  resource  requirements  have  increased  due to increased
manufacturing,  marketing and administrative  demands. These needs were met from
operations of the Registrant's normal business activity and the sales backlog.


General
-------

Startech   is  an   environmental   technology   corporation   engaged   in  the
commercialization  and  continued  development  of its Plasma Waste  ConverterTM
("PWC") systems for the recycling,  resource recovery, reduction and remediation
of  hazardous  and  nonhazardous  organic  and  inorganic  materials  and wastes
including radioactive wastes.

The Startech  Plasma  Waste  Converter is a  closed-loop  recycling  system that
converts  materials  formerly regarded as hazardous wastes into useful commodity
products.  The hazardous  waste can be organic and  inorganic,  in the form of a
gas,  liquid,  and solids or any combination  thereof.  Waste volume  reductions
higher than 300 to 1 have been  demonstrated.  Depending on the waste processed,
the principal  commodities produced by the system are a synthetic gas called PCG
(Plasma Converted Gas)TM, metals, and an obsidian-like inert silicate stone. The
PCG can be used as a chemical  feed stock to produce  polymers  and other common
industrial products, as a fuel to produce electricity, as a fuel source for fuel
cells,  as a heating plant fuel to reduce the cost and reliance on fossil fuels,
and in  desalinization  applications  to produce fresh water for  irrigation and
drinking.  The metals can be employed in the metallurgical  industry.  The stone
silicates  can  be  employed  in the  abrasives  industry,  and as an  aggregate
material for construction industry applications.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The company and its Officers,  individually  and  personally,  except Leonard V.
Knap,  are  defendants in litigation  brought in  Bridgeport,  Connecticut,  USA
Federal Court, in February 1998 by John Easton of Canada.  The complaint demands
payment for commissions  and/or fees for services  rendered to acquire the funds
needed to consummate the reverse acquisition, that occurred on November 17,1995,
of Startech Corporation by Kapalua Acquisitions,  Incorporated.  The proceedings
are in their preliminary stages. The company does not believe there is any merit
to the claim and will  vigorously  contest the matter.  The company  will file a
counter claim against Mr. Easton.

No legal proceedings are known to be contemplated by governmental authorities.

No  constituent  instruments  defining the rights of the holders of any class of
