                     Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 1998
                                   (Unaudited)

     Note  1.  Basis  of  Presentation.   The  accompanying   interim  financial
statements presented have been prepared by Industrial Rubber Products, Inc. (the
"Company")  without  audit,  and in the opinion of the  management,  reflect all
adjustments of a normal  recurring  nature necessary for a fair statement of (a)
the results of operations  for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30,
1997 (b) the results of  operations  for the six months  ended June 30, 1998 and
June 30, 1997 (c) the financial position at June 30, 1998 and (d) the cash flows
for the six month  periods  ended  June 30,  1998 and June 30,  1997.  Operating
results  for the  three  and six  month  periods  ended  June  30,  1998 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998. The balance sheet  presented as of December 31, 1997 has been
derived from the  financial  statements  that have been audited by the Company's
independent public accountants. The financial statements and notes are condensed
as permitted by Form 10-QSB and do not contain certain  information  included in
the annual  financial  statements  and notes of the  Company.  The  consolidated
financial  statements  and notes  included  herein should be read in conjunction
with the financial  statements  and notes  included in the  Company's  Form SB-2
filed February 20, 1998 as most recently amended on April 23, 1998.

     Note 2. Related Company Transactions.  As of June 30, 1998, the Company had
no outstanding payables to Nelson Roofing, Inc., a company owned by the majority
stockholder   of  the  Company.   The  Company  also  provides   management  and
administrative  services for Nelson Roofing,  Inc. and receives a management fee
for such services.  Management fees invoiced to Nelson Roofing, Inc. amounted to
$24,000 in the second quarter of 1998.  Management fees for the six-month period
ending June 30, 1998, amounted to $48,000.

     The Company  rents a house in Utah owned by the majority  stockholder  on a
month to month basis.  Total rent paid to the majority  stockholder  amounted to
$14,100 in the second quarter of 1998. Rent paid for the six-month period ending
June 30, 1998, amounted to $28,200.

     Note 3.  Stockholder's  Equity.  As described in Note 4 below,  the Company
through  March  31,  1998  was  taxed  as  a S  Corporation.  The  Company  made
distributions  during the  second  quarter  totaling  $880,202  to its  majority
shareholder  to enable him to pay income taxes on the  Company's  1997  calendar
year and 1998 first quarter income.

     Note 4. Income Taxes. The Company was an S corporation from January 1, 1989
until  March 31,  1998.  As an S  corporation,  the  Company  generally  was not
responsible for income taxes;  instead, the then sole stockholder of the Company
was taxed on the Company's taxable income.

     On April 24, 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering for the
sale of common stock.  In  anticipation  of that offering,  the Company filed an
election to terminate its status as an S corporation  effective  March 31, 1998.
Accordingly,  the Company  became subject to federal and state income taxes from
and after April 1, 1998.

<PAGE>

     The  information  for pro forma  income taxes for the  six-month  and three
month periods ending June 30, 1997  represents  the estimated  income taxes that
would have been  reported  had the Company  filed  federal and state  income tax
returns as a C Corporation  for those  periods.  The  information  for pro forma
income  taxes for the six month  period  ending  June 30,  1998  represents  the
estimated  income  taxes that would have been  reported  had the  Company  filed
federal  and state  income tax  returns as a C  Corporation  for the three month
period ending March 31, 1998.

     Note 5. Earnings per share.  Earnings per share are computed based upon the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
     of Operations.

     Net Sales. Net sales for the second quarter of 1998 of $3,405,206  compares
with  $4,259,896 in the same quarter of 1997. The decline in sales compared with
1997 relates to the Kennecott Utah Copper pipe-lining  project,  which accounted
for  approximately  $2,864,000 of the 1997 second quarter  sales.  In the second
quarter of 1998,  the Company  recorded  sales under  another  major pipe lining
project for Batu-Hijau in Indonesia of approximately $2,170,000. The performance
of and the timing of shipments  under these large  pipe-lining  contracts  cause
fluctuations in the Company's quarterly operating results.

     Net sales for the six month  period  ending June 30,  1998,  of  $7,221,892
compares with  $8,381,656 in the same period in 1997 and included  approximately
$5,624,000  in sales from the  Kennecott  project.  Net sales,  excluding  major
projects, for the six month period were approximately  $3,331,982 in 1998, which
represents an increase of 22.1% when compared to the adjusted 1997 sales for the
same period of $2,757,656.

     The Company's order backlog on June 30, 1998, was approximately $1,500,000.

     Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 79.5% in the
second quarter of 1998 compared with 66.9% in same quarter of 1997. The increase
was the  result of below  average  costs in the  Kennecott  project  in the 1997
period and above  average  costs on the  Batu-Hijau  project in the 1998 period.
Gross profit  decreased from 33.1% of net sales in the second quarter of 1997 to
20.5% of net sales in the second quarter of 1998. In dollar terms,  gross profit
decreased  from  $1,409,047  in the second  quarter of 1997,  to $698,336 in the
second quarter of 1998.

     For the  first  six  months  of 1998  cost of sales  was 75.6% of net sales
compared  with 66.3% for the same  period in 1997.  Below  average  costs on the
Kennecott project in 1997 was the major reason for the difference.  Gross profit
decreased from 33.7% of net sales, $2,828,112,  for the first six months of 1997
to 24.4% of net sales, $1,759,524, for the same period in 1998.

     Selling,  General  and  Administrative  Expenses.   Selling,  general,  and
administrative  expenses  increased  from  $342,424  (8.0% of net  sales) in the
second quarter of 1997, to $483,237  (14.2% of net sales) in the same quarter of
1998.  For the six month period ending June 30, these  expenses  increased  from
$686,188 (8.2% of net sales) in 1997, to $898,424  (12.4% of net sales) in 1998.
These  increases  were due primarily to increased  staffing  required to produce
sales  increases  exclusive of large  contracts and additions of  administrative
personnel related to the Company's initial public offering.
<PAGE>

     Nonoperating Income and Expense. The major nonoperating  expense,  interest
expense,  increased  from $39,125 in second  quarter of 1997 to $58,306 in 1998.
This  was due to  higher  borrowing  during  most  of the  1998  second  quarter
resulting  from  collection  delays on  certain  trade  receivables,  which were
resolved  just  before  the end of the  quarter.  Nonoperating  interest  income
increased  from near zero in second  quarter of 1997,  to  $122,518  in the same
quarter of 1998.  This  increase  resulted  from  interest  income earned on the
proceeds  of the  initial  public  offering  and  interest  earned  on the  late
collections  referenced  above.  The  result  was  income  of  $64,212  from all
nonoperating  activities for the second quarter of 1998 compared an expense from
all nonoperating activities of $39,083 in the same quarter in 1997.

     For the first six months interest  expense  increased from $84,135 in 1997,
to $94,737 in 1998. Interest income increased from $2,106 in 1997 to $123,704 in
1998.  The result was an income from all  nonoperating  activities of $28,967 in
1998 compared with an expense from all nonoperating activities of $82,029 in the
same period in 1997.

     Net  Income.  Net income  (before  tax) for the second  quarter of 1998 was
$279,311 (8.2% of net sales) and compares with  $1,027,540  (24.1% of net sales)
for the same  quarter in 1997.  Although  significantly  less than the  previous
year,  the  second  quarter  performance  was very  close to  expectations.  The
decrease from 1997 was due primarily to the  profitability  levels of previously
mentioned  large  contracts.  Net income  (before  tax) for the six month period
ending June 30, 1998, of $890,067 (12.3% of net sales), compared with $2,059,895
(24.6% of net sales) for the same period in 1997.

     Income Taxes. As discussed  elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB,  the Company was
an S corporation until March 31, 1998, and as such was generally not responsible
for income taxes.  Instead, the then sole stockholder was taxed on the Company's
taxable  income.  If the Company had paid income taxes as a C  Corporation,  its
estimated  income  taxes  during  the  second  quarter  of 1997  would have been
$388,382.  In the second quarter of 1998,  when the Company was a C corporation,
its estimated income taxes were $111,726.

     It is estimated  that income taxes for the six months ending June 30, 1997,
would have been $791,000 compared with $349,921 for the same period in 1998.

     Cash Flows. The Company's cash flows from operating  activities  showed net
cash provided by  operations  of $764,369 in the first six months of 1998.  This
represents  positive  performance,  but is less than the $1,495,825  provided by
operations in the same period in 1997. The major difference was the contribution
of the Kennecott  project to net income in 1997. This was partially  offset by a
significant  reduction  in  inventory  in 1998.  In both periods the Company had
large increases in receivables primarily as the result of the timing of payments
under large pipe-lining contracts.

<PAGE>

     The Company showed net cash used in investing activities of $480,577 in the
first six months of 1998 compared with $160,735 in the same period of 1997.  The
difference results from increased purchases of property and equipment.

     The Company's cash flows from financing activities reflects the proceeds of
the initial public stock offering of $5,473,309. As described in the prospectus,
these  proceeds  were  reduced for  dividends  (distributions)  to the  majority
shareholder  for income tax  payments  related to 1997 and the first  quarter of
1998. These  distributions, which constitute almost all of the dividends paid on
common  stock  were  $1,095,000  in the first six months of 1998  compared  with
$49,938  during the same period in 1997.  The net proceeds of the stock offering
and $873,000 of  repayments  of  short-term  borrowings  in 1997 account for the
$5,587,275  difference  in cash  provided  by  financing  activities  in the two
periods.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital.

     At June 30, 1998, the Company had working capital of $5,805,539,  including
$4,629,060  of cash and cash  equivalents.  The Company had income before income
taxes of $890,067 for the first six months of 1998.  As  disclosed  elsewhere in
this Form  10-QSB,  the Company  received  the  proceeds  of its initial  public
offering of $5,473,369 on April 29, 1998. During the second quarter of 1998, the
Company made  distributions,  as outlined in the prospectus,  of $880,202 to its
majority  shareholder to allow the  shareholder to pay income taxes with respect
to the Company's  earnings  from 1997 and the first quarter of 1998.  Management
believes that the net proceeds of the initial  public  offering,  cash flow from
operations, interest to be earned on the proceeds of the offering until expended
and bank borrowings will be sufficient to fund operations and expansion plans of
the Company for at least 12 months. In order to meet its needs beyond 12 months,
the Company may be required to raise additional capital.
