THE NEW PARAHO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES
NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of December 31, 1998 and the results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations
for the six month period ended December 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year. The June 30, 1998 balance sheet presented in this report is
derived from the June 30, 1998 audited financial statements but
does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally required
by generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's June 30, 1998 audited report in
Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NOTE 2 - DEBT
On May 1, 1994, the Company's line of credit from the Tell
Ertl Family Trust was increased to $5,500,000 and on June 1, 1998,
the note was amended to reflect a maturity date of July 1, 1999.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Company was relieved and discharged of
all obligations to pay accrued interest on the line. In addition,
the line shall no longer accrue interest as of July 1, 1995. The
terms of the note provide that the Trust reserves the right to
approve activities and budgets of the Company during the term of
the promissory note. The balance of the note at December 31, 1998
was $865,596.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company realized a decrease in working capital of $51,862
during the six months ended December 31, 1998. Funds were
primarily provided by income from the rental of its Rifle facility.
On August 29, 1989 the Company signed an unsecured promissory
note with the Tell Ertl Family Trust. The principal amount of this
note was increased to a total of $5,500,000 on May 1, 1994. As of
March 31, 1998, the Company owed $865,596 to the Trust. The funds
were used to cover the cost of operating expenses and asphalt
research and development. On December 18, 1996, the Company
executed an assignment of its interest in the note receivable from
The Oil Shale Company to the Trust in partial repayment of this
note. The Company does not expect to be able to pay the balance
remaining on this note when it becomes due.
The Company's three principal objectives include
commercialization of an oil shale derived asphalt binder, licensing
the Paraho technology, and research and development. However, at
the present time, in light of its inability to obtain commercial
financing, the Company is maintaining a minimal level of activity.
At this level, costs and expenses of $60,902 were incurred in the
six months ended December 31, 1998. The decrease in these costs
over the amount incurred in the same period of the previous year,
is the result of the termination of a contract with a consultant
engaged to seek financing for the Company.
Possible future sources of cash include revenues from the
sales of SOMAT. Additional future sources of cash may include
revenues from the performance of engineering services, or from the
use of the Company's pilot plant retort facility. Management
presently does not expect that significant revenues from these
sources will be obtained.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter ended December 31, 1998
Revenues of $1,847 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998,
consisting primarily of rental of its Rifle facility, were
basically unchanged from the amount recognized in the same quarter
of the previous year. Expenses of $24,058 for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998 were less than the same quarter in the previous
year, which had included a retainer to a consultant engaged to seek
financing for the Company.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company has been named in a complaint by an airport
authority which utilized the Company's product in paving an airport
runway. The airport authority has also filed suit against the
general contractor and the project engineer alleging that the
runway was negligently designed and built. Total damages asserted
against all three defendants are alleged to be $750,000.
Management believes that the Company has meritorious defenses, and
that any potential liability would be covered by insurance. While
the ultimate liability in this matter is difficult to assess,
management believes that the matter will be resolved without a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.
