                        POLYMER RESEARCH CORP. OF AMERICA
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - Financial statements

In the opinion of the management of Polymer Research Corp. of America (the
Company), the accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Management believes that the results herein reflect all adjustments which are in
the opinion of management necessary to fairly state the results and current
financial condition of the Company for the respective periods. These statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's report filed under cover of Form 10-KSB.

The results of operations for the three month period is not necessarily
indicative of the results for an entire year.

The balance sheet at December 31, 1997 has been taken from the audited financial
statements as of that date.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Activity

The Company is engaged in the research and development of the applications of
chemical grafting and sells products resulting from such research.

Credit Risk

Financial Instruments that potentially subject the company to credit risk
include investments in United States Treasury bills notes and other certificates
of deposit, government agencies' securities and U.S. Government and New York
State mutual bond funds. Future Changes in economic conditions may make the
investment less valuable.

In addition, financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
credit risk also include accounts receivable. Accounts receivable resulting from
research or product sales are not collateralized.

The Company maintains deposits with financial institutions in excess of amounts
insured by the FDIC.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------5

<PAGE>

Pervasiveness of Estimates

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

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from research contracts is recognized upon two criteria: first, client
approval of performance of a specific stage of the contract and, second,
collection of the resulting revenue is assured. Revenue from production is
recognized when products are shipped for sale to customers.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
using the first-in, first-out method and with market defined as the lower of
replacement cost or realizable value.

Investment Securities

The Company determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time
of purchase. If the Company has the intent and the ability at the time of
purchase to hold securities until maturity or on a long-term basis, they are
classified as investments and carried at amortized historical cost. Securities
to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to
maturity or on a long-term basis are classified as available for sale and
carried at face value. Securities held for indefinite periods of time include
securities that management intends to use as part of its asset and liability
management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest
rates, resultant prepayment risk and other factors related to interest rate and
resultant prepayment risk changes.

Realized gains and losses on dispositions are based on the net proceeds and the
adjusted book value of the securities sold, using the specific identification
method. Unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale
are based on the difference between book value and fair value of each security.
These gains and losses are credited or charged to shareholders' equity, whereas
realized gains and losses flow through the Company's operations.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------6

<PAGE>

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. The costs of additions and betterments
are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed in the
period incurred. When items of property and equipment are sold or retired, the
related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
gain or loss is included in income.

The company capitalizes leased equipment where the terms of the lease result in
the transfer to the Company of substantially all of the benefits and risks of
ownership of the equipment.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is provided utilizing
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets as follows:

Transportation equipment           3 to 5 years
Machinery and equipment                 5 years
Furniture and fixtures            5 to 10 years
Building and improvements              40 years
Office equipment under capital
    leases                              5 years

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in obtaining the mortgage discussed below have been capitalized
and are being amortized over the term of the related obligation utilizing the
straight-line method.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes utilizing Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" which
requires that the Company follow the liability method of accounting for income
taxes.

The liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recorded based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as
"temporary differences."

Net Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each year.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash, Investments, and Investment securities have increased collectively by a
$557,302 since December 31, 1997. The increase is principally due to the net
income of the first quarter.

Cash is generated by and used by the Company through its operations. Neither the
issuance of stock nor the acquisition of debt was in 1997, nor expected to be in
1998, sources of cash for use in operations.

The rate of current assets to current liabilities decreased to 2.93 to 1.0 at
March 31, 1998 as compared to 2.95 to 1.0 at December 31, 1997. The decrease is
the result of an increase in taxes payable net of net income for the quarter.

Based on the above, the Company's cash, investment, and investment securities
position at March 31, 1998 is deemed sufficient to cover any unforeseen sales
downturn in the short term as it is equal to approximately nine months selling,
general, and administrative expenses. Over both the long and short term,
liquidity will be a direct result of sales and related net earnings.

B.  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 1998 v. 1997

Net revenues for the first quarter of 1998 were $ 2,188,176, an increase of
$807,196 (58%) over the first quarter of 1997. Research sales increased $618,216
(54%) in the first quarter of 1998 over 1997. Product sales increased $188,980
(81%) over the first quarter of 1998 over 1997.

The cost of revenues in research decreased from 23% in the first quarter of 1997
to 16% in the same quarter of 1998 due to greatly increased volume using the
same staff.

Costs of product sales decreased from 99% in the first quarter of 1997 to 88% in
the same quarter of 1998 principally as a result of increased sales using the
same sized labor force.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------9

<PAGE>


Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales
to 38% for the first quarter of 1998 from 48% and for the comparable quarter of
1997 principally due to increased volume without significantly increased
expenses.

Net income increased from $ 106,956 (7.7% of sales) in 1997 to $357,394 (16% of
sales) in 1998, principally as the result of increased revenues and improved
gross margins without substantially increased expenses.
