                    Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
                                    (Unaudited)

THE COMPANY

     Ontro, Inc. (the "Company" or "Ontro") is engaged in the research and 
development of integrated thermal containers.  The Company has the rights to 
exploit a unique proprietary technology which it has incorporated into a 
proposed product line of fully contained self-heating beverage containers 
designed to heat liquid contents such as coffee, tea, hot chocolate, soups, 
and baby formula.

     The Company is a development stage enterprise.  Accordingly, the 
Company's operations have been directed primarily toward raising capital, 
developing business strategies, research and development, establishing 
sources of supply, acquiring operating assets, initial production, and 
recruiting personnel.

     Ontro, Inc. has not been profitable and has not generated revenue from 
the sale of products or other sources since inception.  The Company expects 
to incur losses as it expands its development activities and pursues 
commercialization of its technologies.  The future success of the Company is 
dependent upon its ability to develop, manufacture and market its products 
and, ultimately, upon its ability to attain future profitable operations.  On 
May 11, 1998 the Company completed its Initial Public Offering ("IPO") 
whereby the Company sold 3,400,000 units at $5.50 per unit resulting in gross 
proceeds of $18,700,000.  The aggregate proceeds to the Company, net of 
Underwriters' discount and offering costs were approximately $15.8 million.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles for interim financial information. Certain information and 
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. 
In the opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited financial 
statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring 
accruals) for a fair presentation of the financial position as of June 30, 
1998, and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended 
June 30, 1997 and 1998. The results of operations for the three and six 
months ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results to 
be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the 
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 and footnotes 
thereto included in Ontro's Form SB-2 dated May 11, 1998 as amended.

ACQUISITION

     On May 11, 1998, the Company acquired Insta-Heat, Inc. ("IHI"), an 
affiliated corporation. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 48 
the acquisition has been accounted for as an acquisition of net assets 
recorded at historical cost and a return of equity to IHI shareholders of 
$397,900 for the difference between the amount paid and the historical cost 
of the net assets acquired. The net assets acquired by the Company consist 
primarily of intellectual property related to the Company's integrated 
thermal technology. If IHI had been acquired on January 1, 1998, this 
acquisition would not have had a material impact on the Company's 
consolidated results of operations for any of the periods presented.

     Net assets acquired are as follows (giving effect to the total purchase 
price):

          Patents                                    $ 105,300
          Liabilities assumed                          (22,000)
          Return of equity to IHI shareholders         397,900
                                                     ---------
          Purchase Price                             $ 481,200
                                                     ---------
                                                     ---------

NET LOSS PER SHARE

     During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" ("Statement 
128").  As required by Statement 128, the Company must present basic earnings 
per share and diluted earnings per share as defined.  Accordingly basic 
earnings per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number 
of shares outstanding during the period and diluted earnings per share has 
been computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding 
plus the dilutive effects of common shares contingently issuable from stock 
options.  Common stock options are excluded from the computation of net 
earnings per share if their effect is antidilutive.  Stock options and 
warrants to purchase 1,155,665 shares of common stock for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997 and 4,636,252 shares of common stock for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 at exercise prices ranging from $0.001 to $3.00 were not 
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect 
would have been antidilutive.  All prior period information has been restated 
to conform to the provisions of Statement 128.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On July 1, 1998 the Company received net proceeds of approximately 
$47,000 from the sale of 510,000 warrants.  These warrants represent the 
exercise of the overallotment option by the underwriters of the Company's IPO.

     On August 10, 1998 the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of 
Louis L. Knickerbocker as a Board member effective immediately.

     THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH 
INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.  SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDE, 
BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, STATEMENTS REGARDING FUTURE EVENTS AND THE COMPANY'S 
PLANS AND EXPECTATIONS.  THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER 
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE RESULTS DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS 
A RESULT OF CERTAIN FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE REFERENCED 
IN THE COMPANY'S FINAL PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 11, 1998, AS AMENDED AND THE 
COMPANY'S OTHER SEC REPORTS. THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ANY INTENT OR OBLIGATION 
TO UPDATE THESE OR OTHER FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1998

     Operating expenses increased to $651,100 for the quarter ended June 30, 
1998 from $457,000 for the same period in 1997 but decreased to $1,008,900 
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1,062,300 for the same 
period ending in 1997.  Marketing, general and administrative expense was 
$584,100 and $738,500 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, 
respectively compared to $346,900 and $786,200 for the same periods ending in 
1997.  The increase for the quarter in 1998 compared to 1997 was due to 
increased salaries to employees and additional marketing research expense in 
1998 as compared to 1997. This increase was offset in part during the quarter 
by decreased consulting fees in 1998 compared to 1997.  The decrease for the 
six months ended June 30, 1998 was due to decreases in the first quarter of 
1998 compared to 1997 as discussed in the Company's Form 10-QSB for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1998. Research and development expense was $64,500 
and $265,400 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively 
compared to $103,400 and $258,900 for the same periods ending in 1997.  The 
decrease for the quarter was due to decreased consulting fees as compared to 
the same period in 1997.


                                       7
<PAGE>

     Interest expense was $92,800 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, 
compared to $30,900 for the same period in 1997, and was $161,100 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $54,700 for the same period ending in 
1997. The increases in interest expense are due to increased borrowings by 
the Company throughout 1997 and the first four months of 1998.  Interest 
income was $91,700 during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 resulting from the 
investment of proceeds from the Company's IPO.

     The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was $652,200, or $0.13 
per share, compared to a net loss of $487,900, or $0.17 per share, for the 
same period ending in 1997.  The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 
1998 was $1,078,300, or $0.27 per share compared to $1,117,000, or $0.40 per 
share for the same period ending in 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has financed its operations since Inception primarily 
through public and private sales of its equity securities as well as through 
bridge financing. As of June 30, 1998 the Company's cash and cash equivalents 
totaled approximately $12.8 million.  The Company received net proceeds from 
its IPO of approximately $15.8 million of which approximately $2.3 million 
was used to pay off principal and interest on bridge loans.  In addition the 
Company purchased the outstanding common stock of Insta-Heat, Inc. ("IHI") 
for a total of $481,200.

     The primary uses of cash and cash equivalents during the six months 
ended June 30, 1998, include $1,272,000 to finance the Company's operations and
working capital requirements, increase in patent costs of $151,900, repayment 
of debt and interest of approximately $2.3 million, decrease in capital 
leases of $85,600, purchase of IHI stock for $481,200 and deposits on 
equipment of $100,000.  The Company plans to continue its policy of investing 
excess funds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

     The Company's future capital requirements will depend upon numerous 
factors, including the amount of revenues generated from operations (if any), 
the cost of the Company's sales and marketing activities and the progress of 
the Company's research and development activities none of which can be 
predicted with certainty. The Company anticipates the proceeds of the IPO, 
together with existing capital resources and cash generated from operations, 
if any, will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for at 
least the next 18 to 24 months at its anticipated level of operations.  
However, the Company may seek additional funding during the next 24 months 
and could seek additional funding after such time.  There can be no assurance 
any additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, 
when required by the Company. Moreover, if additional financing is not 
available, the Company could be required to reduce or suspend its operations, 
seek an acquisition partner or sell securities on terms that may be highly 
dilutive or otherwise disadvantageous to current shareholders.  The Company 
has experienced in the past, and may continue to experience, operational 
difficulties and delays in its product development due to working capital 
constraints.  Any such difficulties or delays could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of 
operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In February 1998, Statement of Financial Standards No. 132, "Employers' 
Disclosures about Pension and Other Retirement Benefits" ("SFAS No. 132"), 
was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 
1997. This statement standardizes disclosure requirements for pensions and 
other post retirement benefits.  It does not change the measurement or 
recognition provisions for those benefit plans.

      In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, 
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued 
and is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 
15, 1999. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for 
derivative instruments and hedging activities.

     The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS Nos. 132 and 133 will 
not have a significant effect on the financial position, results of 
operations or liquidity of the Company.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The "Year 2000 issue" arises because most computer systems and programs
were designed to handle only a two-digit year, not a four-digit year. When the 
Year 2000 begins, these computers may interpret "00" as the year 1900 and 
could either stop processing date-related computations or could process them 
incorrectly. The Company is in the process of obtaining a new information 
systems and accordingly does not anticipate any internal Year 2000 issues 
from its own information systems databases or programs. However, the Company 
could be adversely impacted by Year 2000 issues faced by major distributors, 
suppliers, customers, vendors and financial service organizations with which 
the Company interacts. The Company is in the process of developing a plan to 
determine the impact that parties who are not Year 2000 compliant may have on 
the operations of the Company. However, there can be no guarantee that the 
systems of these companies will achieve Year 2000 compliance in a timely 
manner.
