(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Six Months Ended October 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
(U.S. Dollars)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     These unaudited financial  statements have been prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted  accounting  principles in the United States for interim
     financial information.  These financial statements are condensed and do not
     include all  disclosures  required  for annual  financial  statements.  The
     organization and business of the Company,  accounting  policies followed by
     the  Company  and  other  information  are  contained  in the  notes to the
     Company's audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 1999.

     In the opinion of the  Company's  management,  these  financial  statements
     reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
     position  at  October  31,  1999 and  April 30,  1999 and the  consolidated
     results of operations  and the statement of cash flows for the three months
     and six months ended October 31, 1999.  The results of  operations  for the
     three  months and six months  ended  October 31,  1999 are not  necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

2.   LOSS PER SHARE

     Net loss per share computations are based on the weighted average number of
     shares outstanding during the period.

3.   PROPERTIES

     (a)  Hocking Lake Property and Henday Lake Property

          By agreement dated April 13, 1998, the Company  acquired all assets of
          Athabasca  Uranium  Syndicate (a British  Columbia,  Canada syndicate)
          which  consisted of cash and the Hocking Lake Property and Henday Lake
          Property.  These properties were acquired in 1997 by the syndicate for
          $59,549  ($82,270 Cdn.) and are reflected in the financial  statements
          at the  sellers'  historical  cost as the sellers are the  controlling
          shareholders.

          Consideration  given to the  members of the  syndicate  was  6,000,000
          common  shares of the Company at a par value of $0.001  each  (issued)
          and a stated value of $97,834 being the cost of the assets acquired.

     (b)  Saskatchewan Uranium Properties

          By  agreement  dated  December  16,  1998,  the Company has options to
          acquire a 100% interest in 11 mining claims in  Saskatchewan,  Canada,
          upon incurring cumulative  expenditures of $338,000 (Cdn. $500,000) by
          December 31, 1999 and  $1,690,000  (Cdn.  $2,500,000)  by December 31,
          2002.  The  optioner  can  earn  back  a  35%  interest  by  incurring
          cumulative  expenditures of not less than $2,028,000 (Cdn. $3,000,000)
          before  December  31,  2006. A royalty is payable at 2% of gross value
          (as defined) of  production if the optioner does not earn back the 35%
          interest.

3.   PROPERTIES (Continued)

          By an agreement dated March 24, 1999,  between the Company and Pacific
          Amber  Resources  Ltd.,  the latter  will earn a 50%  interest  in the
          Saskatchewan  Uranium  Properties  and  all of the  Company's  rights,
          licences and permits  pertinent  thereto held for the specific use and
          enjoyment  thereof by  completing  the initial  program and  incurring
          $338,000 (Cdn.  $500,000) in  expenditures  on or before  December 31,
          1999. A total of ($229,013 (Cdn.  $338,777) was incurred as at October
          31, 1999). In return,  the Company issued the optionee  200,000 common
          shares at a deemed value of $0.65 each.

          All expenditures by the Company on these properties have been expensed
          as incurred.

     (c)  Northern mining property

          By agreement dated October 29, 1998 (subsequently extended to December
          1, 1999) the  Company  has an option to  acquire  100%  interest  in a
          mining  claim in Northern  Mining  District,  Saskatchewan  by issuing
          50,000  free  trading  shares and  paying  $13,375 to the owner of the
          property.  This is contingent  upon  completion  of certain  specified
          exploration  work.  The owner has the right to receive $0.35 per pound
          of the  product  from the claim if the price of the product is $18 per
          pound or less and $0.50 per pound  where the price of the  product  is
          $18 per pound or more.

          This transaction will be accounted for when the shares are issued. The
          recorded cost amount will be determined taking into  consideration the
          seller's  historical  cost and the fair value of the stock at the time
          of issuance.

4.   STOCK OPTION PLAN

     The Company has adopted an incentive and a  nonstatutory  stock option plan
     effective  August 31, 1999 ("the 1999 plan") whereby up to 1,200,000 shares
     of common  stock may be  optioned  and sold up to August 31,  2009 or until
     sooner terminated.  Options granted will have an exercise price of not less
     than 100% of fair market value (as defined) per share on the date of grant.
     Options  are  granted  for a term of ten  years  except  incentive  options
     granted to persons owning more than 10% of the combined voting stock of all
     classes, in which case the term is five years.

5.   WARRANTS

     During the three months and six months ended October 31, 1999,  the Company
     issued 600,000  warrants each exercisable into one share of common stock at
     $0.50 per share. The warrants expire in 2 years.

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

The  following  information  should be read in  conjunction  with the  unaudited
consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein,  which  are  prepared  in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles ("GAAP") in the United
States for interim financial information. All dollar amounts in this form are in
U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

Results of Operations

As of the date of this Report,  the operations of Uranium Power Corporation (the
"Company")  have been  speculative.  The Company  incurred a loss in the quarter
ended October 31, 1999,  and has not had revenues  from its  operations to date.
The Company has been  dependent,  and continues to rely upon, the sale of equity
securities in order to fund its exploration activities.  Its ability to continue
its  operations is dependent on the ability of the Company to continue to obtain
financing.

The Company is involved in the exploration of uranium  properties located in the
Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan, Canada. It owns a 100% interest in two
properties  totaling 78,352 acres, and has options to acquire a 100% interest in
seven additional properties totaling 79,705 acres. Six of these properties, with
eleven mining claims,  may be acquired  through an option  agreement with Phelps
Dodge  Corporation of Canada,  Ltd.  ("PDC").  The Company has made an agreement
with  Pacific  Amber  Resources  Ltd.  ("PAR"),  whereby PAR may earn 50% of the
Company's  interest in the PDC  properties by completing an initial  exploration
program of $338,000  ($500,000 Can.) by the extended deadline of May 31, 2000. A
total of $229,013  ($338,777  Can.) was  expended as of October 31,  1999.  Work
consisted  of 5,066  feet of diamond  drilling  in five  holes,  electromagnetic
surveys (55 line miles) and  lithogeochemical  sampling.  Anomalous  uranium was
encountered  in two drill  holes,  and one of these also had  anomalous  nickel,
cobalt and  arsenic.  This  finding  is typical of the type of uranium  deposits
found in the Athabasca Basin.

The Company has made an agreement with  Geoterrex-Dighem  to conduct an airborne
electromagnetic  and magnetic  survey on its two 100% owned  properties  (Henday
Lake and Hocking Lake) and its seventh optional property (Hump Lake).  Estimated
cost of this survey is $162,332 ($240,136 Can.).  Geoterrex-Dighem  required the
Company to put money in trust with an attorney to ensure that the Company  could
pay the cost of the survey. The balance of the unspent money in trust, $122,410,
appears as restricted cash in the financial statements. In order to finance this
survey and the anticipated  following ground  geophysical  surveys,  the Company
issued  600,000 of its common shares in a private  placement  for $300,000.  The
liability only arises upon rendering of services and an invoice being issued. As
of October 31, 1999, no unpaid invoices from  Geoterrex-Dighem were outstanding.
Thus, there is no liability to be recorded as of October 31, 1999.

During the quarter,  the Company  repaid a loan to PAR. PAR had lent the Company
$19,916 for  ongoing  expenses  of the  Company.  The loan was repaid out of the
proceeds of the private placement referred to in the preceding paragraph.



                                       10
<PAGE>


During the  quarter,  the Company  also  purchased  12,000  shares of its Common
Stock,  for $1 (Can.) per share,  from three  individuals  who had purchased the
stock for $1 (Can.).  These  individuals had become  dissatisfied  with the slow
progress of the Company's business plan.

During the quarter and six months ended October 31, 1999,  the Company  expended
$40,506 and $42,166, respectively, for exploration costs.

Changes in Financial Condition

Net loss for the three-month period ended October 31, 1999 was $50,036, or $0.01
per share,  compared with a net loss of $1,950, or $0.00 per share, for the same
quarter of 1998.  The Company will  continue to rely on funding  from  financing
sources in order to proceed with its development activities.

Forward-Looking Statements

     The  following  cautionary  statements  are made  pursuant  to the  Private
Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995 in order  for the  Company  to avail
itself of the "safe harbor"  provisions  of that Act in the future.  Discussions
and  information  in this  document  which are not  historical  facts  should be
considered   forward-looking   statements.   With   regard  to   forward-looking
statements, including those regarding the potential revenues from the mining and
development  of uranium  properties,  and the  business  prospects  or any other
aspect of the  Company,  actual  results  and  business  performance  may differ
materially from that projected or estimated in such forward-looking  statements.
The Company has  attempted to identify in this  document  certain of the factors
that it currently  believes may cause actual  future  experience  and results to
differ  from its  current  expectations.  In  addition  to the risks cited above
regarding the need for the Company to continue to obtain financing to be able to
continue operating, and risks specific to the exploration and mining of uranium,
differences may be caused by a variety of factors;  including  adverse  economic
conditions,  entry of new and stronger  competitors,  inadequate capital and the
inability to obtain funding from third parties,  unexpected costs,  inability to
obtain or keep qualified  personnel,  and the volatility of uranium  markets and
prices.
