                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

  The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods
presented.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a
full year.

  The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.

2. NET INCOME PER SHARE:

  For the three months ended March 31, 1995, fully diluted earnings per share
have been omitted as the net aggregate effect is anti-dilative.

  For the three months ended March 31, 1996, fully diluted earnings per share
has been omitted because the company has no common stock equivalents whose
exercise price was less than the market price of the common stock for
substantially all of three consecutive months.

2% above the bank's prime rate and are collateralized by substantially all of
the Company's assets.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company has borrowed $200,000.



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

GENERAL

         The Company designs, manufactures and markets automated continuous
monitoring instruments used to detect and measure various types of air
pollution through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dasibi Environmental Corp.  The
Company currently derives essentially all of its revenue from sales of its
instruments and their replacement parts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 VS. THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31,
1995

         Net revenues increased 11% from $1,469,042 during the three-month
period ended March 31, 1995 to $1,629,046 during the three-month period ended
March 31, 1996, primarily as a result of increased unit shipments in January
and February due to improved demand for products.

         Cost of sales increased 6% from $872,350 during the three-month period
ended March 31, 1996, to $929,056  during the three-month period ended March
31, 1996, primarily as a result of increased sales, discussed above.  Gross
margin increased slightly from 41% in the quarter ending March 31, 1995 to 43%
in the quarter ending March 31, 1996.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $407,127
in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 to $403,614 in the quarter ended March 31,
1996.

         In the first quarter of 1995 and 1996 the Company has no provision for
income taxes due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

         As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased from
$135,991 during the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 to $259,155 during
the three-month period ended March 31, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

         The Company has historically financed its growth and cash needs
primarily through borrowings, and the public and private sales of its
securities. In that regard, the Company realized $160,140 on March 29, 1996
from the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock.

                 In February 1994, the Company entered into a credit agreement
with a bank, which provides for borrowings up to $200,000 through June 1, 1996.
As of March 31, 1996, the Company has borrowed the full $200,000 under the
agreement.

                      POLLUTION RESEARCH AND CONTROL CORP.




         Working capital increased from $ 1,944,610 at December 31, 1996 to 
$2,354,516 at March 31, 1996.

         The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures as of
March 31, 1996.  The Company believes it will be able to meet its current
obligations with funds generated from its own operations.

INFLATION

         The Company believes that inflation has not had a material impact on
its business.

SEASONALITY

         The Company does not believe that its business is seasonal.

RISK FACTORS

         The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of
factors, including:  uncertainties relative to global economic conditions;
industry factors; the availability and cost of components; the Company's
ability to develop, manufacture and sell its products profitably; the Company's
ability to successfully increase its market share in its core business while
expanding its product base into other markets; the strength of its distribution
channels; and the Company's ability to effectively manage expense growth
relative to revenue growth in anticipation of continued pressure on gross
margins as a percentage of net sales.
