                    PETROL INDUSTRIES, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES
                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 (unaudited)

1.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared by the Registrant in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally 
included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to 
such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures 
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  In the opinion 
of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments 
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods 
presented.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be 
used in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes 
thereto included in the Registrant's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
      
2.   The consolidated financial statements included herein are consolidated 
with the accounts of Petrolind Drilling Funds, Inc. and Realco, Inc., both 
wholly owned subsidiaries of the Registrant, neither of which was active 
during 1998 or 1997.

3.   Net income per share of common stock is computed on the weighted average 
number of shares outstanding during the six months ended June 30.  The 
weighted average number of shares outstanding was determined by totaling the 
number of shares outstanding at the end of each month and dividing that total 
by the number of months.

                                                    Total Number of
                                                   Shares Outstanding

4.   The expected tax benefit resulting from operating losses for the first 
six months of 1998 has not been recorded because it is not expected to be 
realizable.  Additionally, there were no significant changes in the temporary 
differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets 
and deferred tax liabilities at June 30, 1998.

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

     Oil and gas sales revenues decreased approximately 38.6% in the second 
quarter of 1998, compared to the second quarter of 1997, the result being an 
31.9% decrease in average oil prices of approximately $5.72 per barrel.  The 
Company's net loss for the period increased to $97,768, or ($.06) per share, 
compared to $63,498 in the 1997 period, or ($.04) per share.

     The Company sustained an operating loss of $90,114 in the second quarter 
of 1998, compared to an operating loss of $58,952 in the prior year's second 
quarter.  For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the Company's net loss 
increased approximately 67.0% to $198,428 from the $118,796 net loss in the 
prior year's period.

     Management has attempted to reduce operating costs over the past several 
years in an effort to restore profitability in the face of current oil prices.  
Profitability is contingent essentially upon two factors: increasing 
production from the Company's mineral leases and increases in world oil 
prices.  Management continues to explore possible approaches to increasing oil 
production, including technological developments or pursuing drilling 
operations.

     Oil prices averaged $12.21 per barrel during the second quarter of 1998, 
compared to an average of $17.93 per barrel in the 1997 period.  For the six 
month period, oil prices averaged $12.94 per barrel in 1998 compared to $19.30 
in 1997.

     The Company had cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998, of $94,672, 
compared to $174,809 at the end of the 1997 fiscal year.  Management estimates 
that it owes $309,240 from the settlement of the Horne Lease dispute with Oryx 
to owners of other interests in the Horne Lease.

     In May, 1998, Joseph M. Rodano, President and Treasurer of Petrol 
Industries, Inc., as well as a member of its Board of Directors, purchased a 
total of 5,000 Shares Common Stock, $.10 par value per share, of Petrol 
Industries, Inc.  The purchase was made in an open-market transaction, and all 
of the shares purchased by Mr. Rodano were purchased with his personal funds.  
As of June 30, 1998, Mr. Rodano owns an aggregate of 534,325 Shares, 
comprising approximately 34% of the outstanding shares.

     The Company is working to resolve the potential impact of the year 2000 
on the ability of the Company's computerized information systems to accurately 
process information that may be date-sensitive.  Any of the Company's programs 
that recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000 
could result in errors or system failures.  The Company utilizes a limited 
number of computer programs across its entire operation.  The Company has not 
completed its assessment, but currently believes that costs of addressing this 
issue will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial 
position, as its computer programs will be updated by third party vendors.  
However, if the Company and third parties upon which it relies are unable to 
address this issue in a timely manner, it could result in a material financial 
risk to the Company.  In order to assure that this does not occur, the Company 
plans to devote all resources required to resolve any significant year 2000 
issues in a timely manner.
