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 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.  The Company also contracted with Yahoo!(R), Lycos(R) and
AOL.com(R) to develop an internet advertising campaign to dramatically
increase brand awareness of Nutripure 2000 and to drive targeted consumers
to the online store sites.

<PAGE>

Also in December, the Company placed its Nutripure 2000 countertop water
filtration system in approximately 100 Fred Meyer stores. After tracking
sale rates from its December opening order for stores in the Portland and
Seattle regions, Fred Meyer has begun reordering in multi-case lots for
those stores and has expanded retail placement of Nutripure 2000 to all
Fred Meyer Stores.  Innovative Medical Services continues to negotiate
placement in other regional and national chains.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 VERSUS
THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 JANUARY, 1998
Revenues of $768,000 in the first quarter ended January 31, 1999 were 81%
higher than the $424,800 in revenues reported for the same quarter ended
January 31, 1998.  Fillmaster Purification System sales in the 1999 quarter
were $475,400 and replacement filter sales were $260,100.  In the 1998
quarter, Fillmaster Purification System sales were $289,000 and replacement
filter sales were $113,000. The 64%increase in systems sales was largely
due to the popularity of the new electronic dispenser.  The 130% 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 $496,300 versus $156,000 in the
year-earlier quarter.  Gross profit percentage of 65% in the 1998 quarter
was higher versus the 37% gross profit percentage in the 1998 quarter. The
gross profit percentage increase reflects the increased proportion of
dispenser and filter sales associated with higher margins during the
quarter.

Income for the quarter ended January 31, 1999 was $156,400 versus a net
loss of $408,100 for the same quarter in 1998. 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 VERSUS SIX
MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1998
Revenues of $1,563,500 in the six months ended January 31, 1999 were 82%
higher than the $859,000 in revenues reported for the six months ended
January 31, 1998.  Fillmaster(R) Purification System sales in the six
months ended January 31, 1999 were $1,099,500 and replacement filter sales
were $417,700.  In the prior period, Fillmaster(R) Purification System
sales were $579,000 and replacement filter sales were $238,000.  Sales of
filters rose 143% in fiscal 1998/99 as expected due to the continually
increasing number of Fillmaster(R) Purification Systems in use.

Gross profits for the six months ended January 31, 1999 were $1,009,600
versus $342,900 in 1997/98.  The gross profit of 65% in 1998/99 was higher
versus the 39% gross profit in 1997/98.  The gross profit increase reflects
increased filter sales in the recent six-month period.  As the number of
Fillmaster(R) system installations increases, so does the volume of
replacement filter sales.  The Company anticipates a strong influx of
filter orders in the coming months resulting from sales of systems during
the second half of fiscal 1997/98.

Net income for first six months ended January 31, 1999 was $294,100 versus
a net loss of $794,700 for the same period last year.  This turnaround was
the result of increased sales and improved gross profit margins.  Also,
while increasing sales, the Company cut Selling Expenses by $186,500, or
50%, from $374,300 in the prior six-month period to $187,800 in the current
period.  The Company also reduced General and Administrative expenses by
$252,200, or 36%, from

<PAGE>

$699,900 to $447,700.  The Company expensed $84,900 of Research and
Development costs associated with production and development of new
products during the current six-month period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended January 31, 1999, the Company's current assets
to liabilities ratio rose from 1.21 to 1.50.  Current assets increased
$645,200 from $1,010,100 to $1,655,300.  Current assets at January 31, 1999
include an increase of $442,800 of accounts receivable due mainly to a
large order from a major drug store chain during the quarter.  Inventories
increased $203,700 from $360,600 to $564,300 on anticipation of increased
sales of the new electronic dispenser.  Current liabilities increased
$265,600 from $837,300 to $1,102,900.  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
$202,700.

Cash flows from operations were $294,100 in the first six months of fiscal
year 1998/99. Cash flows used from operations were a negative  $794,700 for
the same period in 1997/98.  For those periods, cash flows used in
investing activities included, respectively, $87,500 and $165,900 for the
purchase of machinery and equipment and for leasehold improvements. Cash
flows used in investing activities for the recent quarter also included
$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 period.  The
company has temporarily minimized its current activity in Brazil due to
recent economic developments in the region.  The total decrease in cash and
cash equivalents for the 1999 six month period was $29,400 as compared to
decrease of $1,296,900 during the same period in 1998. *

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.  In October 1997, Mr. Reitz and Zedburn filed for
protection under the Federal bankruptcy laws. In August 1998, Mr. Reitz
voluntarily dismissed his bankruptcy and as a result thereof the Company
has named Mr. Reitz as a defendant to its counterclaims.

The Company believes that the defendants had perpetrated similar schemes
against other parties.  The Company believes that it has substantially
completed discovery and complied compelling evidence to prove its claims. 
Several of the Defendants filed Motions to Dismiss the Company's
counterclaims.  A hearing on the Motions was held on October 1, 1998. 
Certain of the Motions were granted pending the Company's amendment of its
Counterclaim.  The Company amended its Counterclaims in accordance with the
judge's rulings.  Certain Defendants filed second Motions to Dismiss the
amended counterclaims.  A hearing on these latest motions is scheduled for
March 1999.  It is the Company's belief that the latest Motions to Dismiss
will be denied and it is the Company's intention 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 Mr. Reitz'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. *
