                    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 consol
idated 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 nine months ended September 
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

     4.  The expected tax benefit resulting from operating losses for the 
first nine 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 September 30, 1998.

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

     Oil and gas sales revenues decreased approximately 54.6% in the third 
quarter of 1998, compared to the third quarter of 1997, the result being a 
decrease in average oil prices of approximately $6.15 per barrel and an 
approximate 31.3% decline in production.  The Company's net loss for the 
period decreased to $101,095, or ($.06) per share, compared to $34,4484 or 
($.02) per share in the 1997 period.
     The Company sustained an operating loss of $92,513 in the third quarter 
of 1998, compared to an operating loss of $36,894 in the third quarter of 
1997.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, the Company's net 
loss increased approximately 95.4% to $299,522 from the $153,280 net loss in 
the prior year's period.  Operating losses in the 1998 period also increased 
approximately 87.9% compared to the 1997 period.
     Oil prices averaged $11.38 per barrel during the third quarter of 1998, 
compared to an average of $17.53 per barrel in the 1997 period.  For the nine 
month period, oil prices averaged $12.51 in 1998 compared to $18.67 in 1997.
     The Company had cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1998, of 
$55,048 compared to $174,809 at the end of the 1997 fiscal year.  Management 
estimates that it owes $311,445 from the settlement of the Horne Lease dispute 
with Oryx to owners of other interests in the Horne Lease.
     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.
