June 17, 2004
Board of DirectorsSulphco, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sulphco, Inc., (a company inthe development stage) as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements ofoperations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December31, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of theCompany's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on thesefinancial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of SulphCo,Inc. from inception to December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors whosereported dated May 13, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion, including anexplanatory paragraph regarding a going concern on those statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the PublicCompany Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require thatwe plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether thefinancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includesexamining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures inthe financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accountingprinciples used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that ouraudits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statements of operations,changes in shareholders' deficit, and statements of cash flows of the Companyfrom inception to December 31, 2001 were audited by other independentaccountants whose report dated May 13, 2002 expressed an unqualified opinion onthose statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, inall material respects, the financial position of Sulphco, Inc., (a company inthe development stage), as of December 31, 2003, and the results of itsoperations and its cash flows from inception and for the years ended December31, 2003 and 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally acceptedin the United States.

**INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT**
To the Board of Directors   And Shareholders of  SulphCo, Inc.
I have audited the balance sheet of SulphCo, Inc. (A Development Stage Company)as of December 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations, stockholders'equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. For the comparative statements Irelied upon the predecessor auditor's report issued June 13, 2001 for the yearended December 31, 2000 and the period from inception to December 31, 1999, onwhich an unqualified opinion was given. Some reclassifications of prior yearitems were entered to facilitate comparisons.  These financial statements arethe responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to expressan opinion on the financial statements based on my audit.
I have conducted my audit in accordance with auditing standards generallyaccepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that I planand perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether thefinancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includesexamining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures inthe financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accountingprinciples used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my auditprovides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in allmaterial respects, the financial position of SulphCo, Inc. (A Development StageCompany) as of December 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations,stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity withgenerally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been presented assuming that theCompany will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to thefinancial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and hasyet to make a sale of the process, which raises doubt about its ability tocontinue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include anyadjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

**SULPHCO, INC.**(A Company in the Development Stage)NOTES TOFINANCIAL STATEMENTSDecember 31, 2003, and 2002
**1.        Organization andSignificant Accounting Policies**

Sulphco, Inc. (the Company), formerly Film World,Inc., was originally organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on December23, 1986 under the name Hair Life Inc. The Company became inactive during 1987and remained inactive until September 1994.  In September 1994, through areverse acquisition agreement, the Patterson Group became a wholly ownedsubsidiary of Hair Life, Inc. Operations were conducted via two subsidiariesuntil 1998, at which time all operations were discontinued and the Companyremained dormant until July 1999.

In July 1999 the Company acquired film rights andchanged the corporate name to Film World, Inc.  In December 2000 the Companydiscontinued its film operations and distributed all assets and liabilitiesrelated to that business to certain shareholders in exchange for their stock.

In December 2000, the Company entered into an exchangeagreement with GRD, Inc. (DBA Sulphco) and issued 1,200,000 shares in exchangefor all of the outstanding shares of GRD, Inc. Since the shareholders of GRD,Inc. continue to control the Company, the merger was accounted for as a reverseacquisition of Film World, Inc., and the name was changed to SulphCo,Inc.

**          Business**

The Company is still considered a developmental stagecompany in 2003, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards(SFAS) No. 7.  The Company is engaged in the business of developing andmarketing equipment and a process for removing sulfur from petroleum.

**          Use ofEstimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements**

The preparation of financial statements in conformitywith generally accepted accounting principles requires management to makeestimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets andliabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date ofthe financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesduring the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.The markets for the Company's products and services are characterized bycompetition, rapid technological development, regulatory changes, and newproduct introductions, all of which may impact the future value of the Company'sassets.

**          Cash and CashEquivalents**

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, allhighly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less are consideredto be cash equivalents.  There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2003and 2002.

**          Deposit**

The Company paid a deposit for its leased premises.The deposit is refundable at the end of the lease.

**          Property andEquipment**

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, lessaccumulated depreciation.  In accordance with FASB 144, the Company reviews itslong-lived assets for impairment. Whenever events or changes in circumstancesindicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recovered throughundiscounted future cash flows, such loss is recognized in the statement ofoperations. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company abandoned aninvestment with a cost of $221,711 (See Note 2).

**SULPHCO, INC.**(A Company in the Development Stage)NOTES TOFINANCIAL STATEMENTSDecember 31, 2003, and 2002

The cost of property, plant, and equipment isdepreciated over the remaining estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leaseholdimprovements are depreciated over the lesser of the terms of the lease or theestimated useful lives of the assets.  Depreciation is computed on the straightline method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Expendituresfor maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred and betterments arecapitalized.  Gains and losses on the sale of property and equipment arereflected in the statement of operations.

The Company incurred $65,872 in costs during the yearended December 31, 2003 and  $321,167 in costs and accrued $40,591 in salestaxes on this unit during the year ended December 31, 2002 for a total cost of$427,630. The unit was classified as property, plant and equipment because theCompany intended to own the unit and receive a rental payment for it.  In 2003management determined that the unit may be sold, so $427,630 was reclassified tofixed assets from construction-in-progress as of December 31, 2003 and the salestax accrual was removed from the accounts of the Company. As parts to the unitare upgraded or replaced, the Company adjusts the cost accordingly.

**          Research andDevelopment**

The Company expenses research and development asincurred.

**          IncomeTaxes**

The Company provides for income taxes under theprovisions of SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requiresan asset and liability based approach in accounting for income taxes.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arerecorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporarydifferences between revenue and expense items for financial statement and incometax purposes. Valuation allowances are provided against assets that are notlikely to be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured usingthe enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in whichthose temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effecton deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized inincome in the period that includes the enactment date.  

**          Loss PerShare**

The computation of basic and diluted earnings percommon share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstandingduring the year, plus the common stock equivalents.  Common stock equivalentsare not included in the diluted loss per share calculation when their effect isantidilutive.

SULPHCO, INC.(A Company in the Development Stage)NOTES TO FINANCIALSTATEMENTSDecember 31, 2003, and 2002
**          RevenueRecognition**

In 2000 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition inFinancial Statements." Pursuant to SAB No. 101 and the relevant generallyaccepted accounting principles, the Company will recognize revenue upon thepassage of title, ownership and the risk of loss to the customer. During theperiod ended December 31, 2003, there was no revenue. In 2002 the Company wasawarded a contract from the U. S. navy for research relating to thedesulphurization  process. Revenue was recognized on the contract at itscompletion. The Company plans to collectroyalties from licensing and the deployment of their desulphurization units.

**          New AccountingPronouncements**

In April 2003 the Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB) issued SFAS 149 "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments andHedging Activities." This statement, which amends and clarifies existingaccounting pronouncements, addresses financial accounting and reporting forderivative or other hybrid instruments. This Statement requires that contractswith comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. It is effective forcontracts entered into or modified after September 30, 2003. The Company doesnot expect the adoption of SFAS 149 to have any impact on the financialstatements. 

In May 2003 the FASB issued SFAS 150, "Accounting forCertain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities andEquity," which is effective at the beginning of the first interim periodbeginning after March 15, 2003. This statement establishes standards for theCompany's classification of liabilities in the financial statements that havecharacteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Company believes theadoption of SFAS 150 will have no effect on the Company's financial position orresults of operations.

In December 2003 the FASB issued SFAS 132R,"Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits-anamendment of SFAS 87, 88, and 106". This Statement revises employers'disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It doesnot change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by SFAS 87,"Employers' Accounting for Pensions", SFAS 88, "Employers' Accounting forSettlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and forTermination Benefits", and SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for PostretirementBenefits Other Than Pensions". This Statement retains the disclosurerequirements contained in SFAS 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions andOther Postretirement Benefits", which it replaces. It requires additionaldisclosures to those in the original Statement 132 about the assets,obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefitpension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The requiredinformation is required to be provided separately for pension plans and forother postretirement benefit plans. The Company has no Pension or OtherPostretirement Benefits.

**2.        Investment inSubsidiary**

On November 1, 2001, the Company formed a joint venture to implementits desulphurization process throughout Europe.

Eliop International is a Luxembourg corporation that was owned50.5% by the Company. Thesecorporations are managed by Mr. Luigi Profumo, who controls Eliop Sr.1., a majorpetroleum refinery in Genoa, Italy. This investment was valued in 2001 based onthe net book value of equipment provided to the refinery in Italy under thelicensing agreement with Innovative Clean Technologies S.A. (ICT).
