                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      ------------------------------------------

(1) General
    -------

    In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated, unaudited 
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly York 
Research Corporation and Subsidiaries' ("York" or the "Company") consolidated 
financial position as at May 31, 1997 and results of operations and cash 
flows for the three months ended May 31, 1997 and 1996.

    Certain financial information which is normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, but which is not required for interim reporting purposes, has 
been condensed or omitted.  The accompanying financial statements need to be 
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included 
in the Registrant's Form 10-K.

    Any adjustments that have been made to the financial statements are of a 
normal recurring nature.

(2) Per Share Data
    --------------

    Per share data is based on the weighted average number of common shares 
and common share equivalents (warrants and options) outstanding during the 
quarter, calculated using the modified treasury stock method.

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, 
which is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual 
periods ending after December 15, 1997.  Early adoption of the new standard 
is not permitted. The new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted 
earnings per share and requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings 
per share together with disclosure of how the per share amounts were 
computed.  Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by 
dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average 
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects 
the weighted average common shares outstanding plus the potential dilutive 
effect of securities or contracts which are convertible to common shares, 
such as options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock unless 
antidilutive based upon income before extraordinary gain. The pro forma 
effect of adopting the new standard would be:

(3) Settlement of Obligation
    ------------------------

    In March 1997, B-41 Associates L.P. ("B-41LP") settled all its 
obligations to Sanwa Business Credit Corp. ("SBCC") for a cash payment of 
$2,750,000.  SBCC, in exchange for this cash payment gave up all its interest 
in the future cash flow from the Brooklyn Navy Yard Project and has no 
continuing interest in any of the Company's projects or assets.  In settling 
this obligation, B-41LP caused Rochdale Village Associates L.P. ("RVA") and 
its partners to lose tax benefits that they would have been able to utilize.  
Therefore, the Company compensated RVA for its lost tax benefits in the total 
amount of $4 million.  The form of this non-cash transaction with RVA and its 
partners was the exercise of 500,000 pre-existing warrants at $6 per share 
for a total of $3,000,000, and the transfer of $1,000,000 of the Company's 
note receivable from the Chairman to a nonconsolidated affiliate.  This 
extinguishment of the SBCC liability resulted in an extraordinary gain of 
approximately $5.4 million net of taxes of approximately $4.4 million and an 
allocation to the minority interest of approximately $3.3 million.  The $2 
million distribution that RVA received from B-41LP in Fiscal 1993 was charged 
against the capital of B-41LP concurrent with the allocation of the gain to 
the minority interest.

(4) Settlement of Class Action Litigation
    -------------------------------------

    The Company, while denying any liability, and in the opinion of 
management, in order to avoid a protracted and costly litigation, settled in 
May 1993 a class action lawsuit which shareholders brought against the 
Company and certain directors and officers of York.  Pursuant to the terms of 
the settlement, in March 1995, the Company issued to the members of the 
class, warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of its common stock at $8.00 
("Class A Warrants") per share and warrants to purchase 180,000 shares of its 
common stock at $6.15 ("Class B Warrants") per share (collectively the 
"Warrants").  The Class A Warrants expired on November 1, 1995.  When the 
Class A Warrants expired, the holders of such warrants became entitled to 

                                         -6-

and did surrender them for $6.9 million drawn under a letter of credit which 
had been posted on February 16, 1995 by Edison Mission Energy, which is 
recourse only to future distributions from BNYLP, if any.  The Class B 
Warrants remain outstanding except that at May 31, 1997, 36,524 Class B 
Warrants had been exercised.  Under the terms of the settlement other 
principal provisions of the Class B Warrants include the following:

(i)   The Company has the right to redeem the Class B Warrants in whole or in 
part for $11.50 per warrant.

(ii)  The Company has the right to reduce the Class B Warrant exercise price 
in its discretion (the "adjusted exercise price").

(iii) Unless the Class B Warrants have previously been redeemed or 
accelerated the warrants may be exchanged by the holders thereof on the 
Expiration Date for $11.50 in cash per warrant (the "Surrender Price").

(iv)     All unexpired Class B Warrants may no longer be exchanged for the 
Surrender Price if the closing price of the Company's stock on NASDAQ shall 
have equaled or exceeded the exercise price or adjusted exercise price of the 
warrants plus $11.50 on at least seventy-five of ninety consecutive trading 
days at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

(v) The Surrender Price of the Class B Warrants was collateralized by a 35% 
limited partnership interest in Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners, 
L.P. ("BNYLP") held by B-41 Associates, L.P.  This limited partnership 
interest will be released when it is replaced by a letter of credit or if the 
event described in (iv) above occurs.  When the new warrants referred to in 
(vi) below were issued, the collateral was reduced to a 17 1/2% limited 
partnership interest.

(vi)     On March 18, 1996, the Company agreed with counsel for the Class 
Action litigants to issue up to 180,000 new Warrants to holders of Class B 
Warrants as consideration for an extension until December 31, 1996 of the 
obligation of B-41LP to provide a letter of credit (in an amount up to 
approximately $1,648,000) to secure the Surrender Price of the remaining 
Class B Warrants. Court approval of the agreement was given on June 4, 1996.  
Thereafter, 179,500 new Class C Warrants were issued, the shares issuable 
upon exercise thereof having been registered.  B-41LP did not provide the 
letter of credit by December 31, 1996, and accordingly, the Class B Warrant 
expiration date extends day for day and a further extension is presently 
under negotiation.  The new Class C Warrants expire between September 27, 
1998 and October 4, 1998, are exercisable at $6.50 per share and do not have 
any provisions for surrender or collateral.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- --------------------------------

    Brooklyn Navy Yard Project
    --------------------------

    Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners, L.P. ("BNYLP"), a joint 
venture, was formed on October 19, 1992.  BNYLP is owned and controlled 
equally by a subsidiary of Edison Mission Energy ("Mission"), which is a 
wholly owned subsidiary of SCE Corp., and a limited partnership, B-41 
Associates, L.P.("B-41LP"), in which the Company is a majority partner.

    In March, 1996, the Brooklyn Navy Yard ("BNY") Facility delivered initial 
test quantities of power to Con Edison, equivalent to existing contract 
capacity.  Construction was substantially completed, and on November 1, 1996, 
the facility commenced operations in accordance with its contract.  Mission 
has funded all construction costs incurred to date, and may be required to 
provide additional funding or guarantees to secure project financing.  The 
New York City Industrial Development Agency issued $253,925,700 of Industrial 
Development Revenue Bonds in December 1995, recourse to a Mission guarantee, 
to finance certain costs incurred through that date.  The Company has no 
obligation to fund the project or provide guarantees and all obligations 
incurred by BNYLP to date are non-recourse to the Company.

    Pursuant to the provisions of the partnership agreement, Mission retains 
the right to take all the votes on the Management Committee that controls the 
day to day operations of BNYLP.  If Mission decides to exercise its right to 
cast all votes on the BNYLP Management Committee, B-41LP still remains a 50% 
general and limited partner in the Navy Yard project and retains all its 
other rights, and Mission retains all its funding and other obligations to 
the Project and B-41LP.

    In March 1997, the Company settled all of its obligations related to this 
project with a financing entity for $2,750,000, plus other consideration (see 
Note 3).

     Like other large projects of this nature, the BNY cogeneration project 
is subject to various risks.  There can be no assurance that the facility, 
although completed, will operate at sufficient levels to cover all operation 
and maintenance expenses and debt service.  The Company has no liability for 
any such shortfalls.

    Warbasse Project
    ----------------

    In September 1994, the Company resumed full operations of the Warbasse 
facility, and since that date has supplied, on a continuous basis, all the 
electric and thermal needs of the host, Amalgamated Warbasse Houses, Inc. 
("AWH"), and is supplying up to the full capacity requirements of its 
electric power contract with Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., 
when dispatched.

                     OF FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                     ----------------------------------------------

    The Company has substantially completed the Warbasse project, and 
transferred the facility to Warbasse-Cogeneration Technologies Partnership 
L.P. on August 1, 1996.  The Company expects to spend up to $1,000,000 during 
the next year, on certain remaining items which were accrued at the time of 
transfer.

    General
    -------

    Cash used in operating activities during the three months ended May 31, 
1997 was approximately $169,000, as compared to approximately $613,000 used 
during the three months ended May 31, 1996.  During the current period, net 
income of approximately $4,109,000 included a non-cash extraordinary gain of 
approximately $5,436,000 and was also offset by a net increase of operating 
liabilities over operating assets of approximately $978,000.  During the 
quarter ended May 31, 1996 net income provided approximately $1,360,000, but 
this was offset by an increase in service receivables of approximately 
$2,233,000.

    During the three months ended May 31, 1997, cash used in financing 
activities was approximately $2,557,000, as compared to approximately 
$602,000 generated during the three months ended May 31, 1996.   During the 
current period, $2,750,000 was used to settle an obligation with Sanwa 
Business Credit Corp., and approximately $196,000 was generated by the 
exercise of stock options and warrants.  During the quarter ended May 31, 
1996, the cash was generated by the exercise of stock options and warrants.  

    The Company has no significant capital commitments, other than certain 
remaining items related to increased operating efficiency at the Warbasse 
facility.

    This report may contain certain forward-looking statements regarding the 
Company, its business, prospects and results of operations that are subject 
to certain risks and uncertainties posed by many factors and events that 
could cause the Company's actual business, prospects and results of 
operations to differ materially from those that may be anticipated by such 
forward-looking statements.  Factors that may affect such forward-looking 
statements include, without limitation: the Company's ability to successfully 
develop and finance new projects and new products; the impact of competition 
on the Company's revenues; changes in law or regulatory requirements that 
adversely or positively affect the Company; delays in the Company's 
development of new projects; and changes in unit prices, supply and demand 
for electricity and natural gas.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

    Total revenues increased approximately $43,401,000 when comparing the 
three months ended May 31, 1997 to the corresponding period in 1996, mainly 
due to the inclusion of North American Energy Conservation, Inc. ("NAEC"), 
acquired on November 1, 1996, which accounted for approximately $45,763,000 
of the increase. NAEC is a marketer of wholesale electric power and wholesale 
and retail natural gas.  Engineering and other services-BNYLP decreased 
approximately $2,438,000 for the three months ended May 31, 1997, due to the 
recognition in the quarter ended May 31, 1996 of an agreement

with BNYLP to reimburse B-41LP $2,500,000 for certain engineering and other 
costs, a portion of which was expensed in prior periods. 

    Cost of services during the three months ended May 31, 1997 increased 
approximately $169,000, compared to the three months ended May 31, 1996.

    Cost of energy increased approximately $45,976,000 commensurate with 
energy sales.

    NAEC's negative gross margin for this period was ($213,553).  While the 
wholesale electric business had a small positive gross margin, the natural 
gas marketing business had a negative gross margin, in part attributable to 
unexpected seasonal factors.  Management does not believe that these results 
will be indicative of the full year.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 
$1,057,000 when comparing the three months ended May 31, 1997 to May 31, 
1996, due mainly to the inclusion of NAEC, acquired on November 1, 1996, 
which accounted for approximately $937,000 of the increase.  During the 
quarter ended May 31, 1997, $142,000 was spent on certain development costs 
related to potential new projects, in excess of the amounts spent in the 
prior period.

    Interest and other income increased approximately $898,000 when comparing 
the quarter ended May 31, 1997 to the quarter ended May 31, 1996.  An 
increase of approximately $570,000 was attributable to interest on the 
long-term note receivable from WCTP related to the sale of the Warbasse 
facility on August 1, 1996.  The commencement in December 1996 of general 
partner fees received by B-41LP from BNYLP accounted for an increase in other 
income of approximately $414,000, during the quarter.

    A current provision for minimum federal and state and local income taxes 
has been offset against deferred tax benefits, resulting in no provision for 
income taxes for the three months ended May 31, 1997.  The prior period 
provision of $360,000 was based on the annual effective tax rate applied to 
the income for the quarter ended May 31, 1996.

    During the quarter ended May 31, 1997, the Company recorded an 
extraordinary gain in connection with the settlement of an obligation (see 
Note 3).
