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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the audited and unaudited financial statements of the Company.

OVERVIEW
Innovative Medical Services, through an aggressive, growth-oriented
business strategy, has built a strong market presence in the manufacturing
and marketing of pharmacy efficiency products, as well as water filtration
systems. Since its founding in August 1992, and subsequent to its initial
public offering in August 1996, the Company has invested in its research
and development department, production facilities and sales and marketing
resources. The Company's principal products are the Pharmapure(R) pharmacy
water purification system, the Fillmaster(R) dispensing units for
reconstituting oral suspensions, and the Nutripure(R) line of residential
drinking water systems. The Company also markets, for all water filtration
products, proprietary filters that require changing at intervals of nine to
twelve months. Filter replacements represent a significant continuing
source of revenue to the Company.

In addition, Innovative Medical Services markets the Medifier(TM), a unique
magnifying device for use with any size prescription bottle label, targeted
to the growing elderly population. The Medifier represents a low-cost entry
into the retail pharmacy market and will be sold through the Company's
current distribution channels as well as through catalogues and promotional
products distributors.

Innovative Medical Services also owns Export Company of America, Inc.
(EXCOA), a Nevada corporation that holds and operates the Company's
Brazilian export/import operation. The Company distributes medical, dental
and veterinary supplies into Brazil and plans to use this distribution
conduit for the Company's water filtration products.

Innovative Medical Services' customer base for its pharmaceutical water
purification systems includes Wal-Mart, Walgreens, American Stores, Eckerd,
Kroger, Fred Meyer, Target and CVS, and IMS' expertise in pharmaceutical
water systems provides a strong foundation for its "pharmacist recommended"
Nutripure line of residential water filtration systems.  The Company's
Nutripure Elite reverse osmosis residential water system usually retails
for $499, and is available as either a convenient, compact, unit easily
installed beneath the sink, or as an attractive, counter-top appliance
requiring no installation.  The Nutripure 2000 countertop water filter
retails for $79.99 and competes with PUR(R), Brita(R) and Culligan(R)
products.

In December, the Company launched a major internet marketing strategy
beginning with its new internet shopping sites and its links to Lycos(R),
Excite(R), Netscape(R), Info Seek(R) and Alta Vista(R).  The Company's
opened its first online store on Yahoo!(R) Store at
STORES.YAHOO.COM/NUTRIPURE, from which all of the Company's residential and
pharmacy water systems may be purchased. The Company's products, including
the popular Nutripure(R) 2000 residential water filtration system, may also
be purchased from its recently expanding corporate web site at
WWW.IMSPURE.COM.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1998 VERSUS
THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1997
Revenues of $795,500 in the first quarter ended October 31, 1998 were 83%
higher than the $435,300 in revenues reported for the same quarter ended
October 31, 1997.  Fillmaster

<PAGE>

Purification System sales in the 1998 quarter were $620,100 and replacement
filter sales were $157,600.  In the 1997 quarter, Fillmaster Purification
System sales were $290,000 and replacement filter sales were $125,000.  The
115% increase in system sales was largely due to the popularity of the new
electronic dispenser.  The 26% increase in replacement filter sales was
expected due to the continually increasing number of Fillmaster(R)
Purification Systems in use.

Gross profit in the most recent quarter was $513,200 versus $186,800 in the
year-earlier quarter.  Gross profit percentage of 65% in the 1998 quarter
was higher versus the 43% gross profit percentage in the 1997 quarter. The
gross profit percentage increase reflects an increased proportion of filter
sales (associated with higher margins) during the quarter, new product
launch pricing, and lower component costs resulting from economies of scale
realized with volume purchasing.

Income for the quarter ended October 31, 1998 was $137,700 versus a net
loss of $386,600 for the same quarter in 1997. The increased income was due
to increased sales of Fillmaster pharmacy water purification and dispensing
systems and disposable filter replacements, and to growing revenues from
sales of new products, including the Nutripure line of residential water
filtration systems.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the three months ended October 31, 1998, the Company's current
assets to liabilities ratio rose from 1.21 to 1.32.  Current assets
increased $532,500 from $1,010,100 to 1,542,600.  Current assets at October
31, 1998 include an increase of $360,400 of accounts receivable on higher
sales volume.  Inventories increased $164,700 from $360,600 to $525,300 on
anticipation of increased sales of the new electronic dispenser.  Current
liabilities increased $333,400 from $837,300 to $1,170,700.  The increase
in current liabilities was the result of increased accounts payable
associated with a corresponding increase in inventories.  Also, the company
established an additional credit facility during the period on which it has
drawn $260,900.

Cash flows provided from operations were $455,300 in the first three months
of fiscal year 1998.  Cash flows used from operations were a negative
$634,400 for the same period in 1997.  For those periods, cash flows used
in investing activities included, respectively, $54,300 and $70,200 for the
purchase of machinery and equipment and for leasehold improvements.  Cash
flows used in investing activities for the recent quarter also consisted of
$261,300 of goodwill and $360,000 of other intangible assets related to the
purchase of EXCOA, a privately held Florida-based distributor, and
AMPROMED, a Rio de Janeiro-based import company.  The purchase did not have
a material impact on the income statement of the Company for the quarter. 
The total decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the 1998 three month
period was $6,700.

PART 2    OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The following is an update of developments in the previously disclosed
litigation involving the Company filed in the Circuit Court of Pinellas
County, Florida by Zedburn Corporation, against the Company for breach of
contract in October, 1997. The Company has filed counterclaims based upon
the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act against Mr.
Reitz, Zedburn Corporation, Capital Development Group, Steven Durland and
other defendants. It is the Company's position that Mr. Reitz and others
perpetrated a scheme to defraud the Company of cash fees and securities in
connection with purported services of arranging a public offering of the
Company's common stock. The Company believes that it has substantially
completed discovery and complied compelling evidence to prove its claims.

Several of the Parties, including the Company, had filed Motions to Dismiss
the Zedburn and Reitz claims and the Company's counterclaims.  A hearing on
the Motions was held on October 1, 1998.  On November 23, 1998, the judge
ruled on the various motions.  The judge denied the Company's motion to
dismiss the Zedburn claim and granted the Company's motion to dismiss Mr.
Reitz's claim.  The judge granted motions to dismiss certain of the
Company's claims for rescission, constructive trust, and attorney's fees
and denied motions to dismiss the principal count of the Company's claims
including the Company's allegation that a contingent fee contract to
perform an audit is a violation of state and federal law.  The judge also
granted one defendant's motion to dismiss the Company's RICO claim for
failure to allege sufficient facts to sustain the claim.  All parties were
granted twenty days to amend their pleadings to correct the deficiencies as
stated in the judge's orders.  The Company intends to amend its complaint
as to the one dismissed Defendant and to vigorously pursue a trial in the
State Court action as soon as possible.

The Company has neither accrued a liability in its financial statements
regarding this litigation nor disclosed the matter in the footnotes
thereof. The Company has not done so because it does not believe there is
any merit to Zedburn's claims and that the likelihood that the Company will
realize a loss from these matters is believed remote. In addition, the
Company believes that in the unlikely event that the Company settles, the
amount of any such settlement would not be material to the Company's
financial statements.

ITEM 2.
CHANGES IN SECURITIES

During the quarter in August 1998 the Company issued an option to acquire
40,000 shares of common stock to Glenn Hall in connection with a Consulting
Agreement regarding the Company's debt and receivable financing.  The
option is non-transferable and permits the holder to acquire the shares for
$0.625 per share on or before August 3, 2003 and provided a registration
statement covering the underlying shares is effective at the time of
exercise.  In November 1998, the Company issued an option to acquire
300,000 shares of common stock to The Minneapolis Company, Inc., in
connection with an investment banking agreement.   The option is non-
transferable and permits the holder to acquire the shares for $1.1875 per
share.  The option shall be exercisable upon the effective date of a
registration statement covering the underlying shares and expire as to
100,000 shares sixty

<PAGE>

days after the effective date; 100,000 shares one hundred twenty days after
the effective date; and 100,000 shares one hundred eighty days after the
effective date.  The Company relied upon the exemption from registration
contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, in that the
options are non-transferable and were issued with restrictive legends.
