                       METAL RECOVERY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Metal Recovery Technologies, Inc., ("MRTI") presents all financial statements 
in United States dollars and under generally accepted accounting principles 
as practiced in the United States.

Metal Recovery Technologies, Inc. (formerly Malvy Technology, Inc. - the 
Company), was from 1993 to the latter part of 1995 primarily engaged in the 
development and testing of the Malvy anti-theft device and the marketing of 
the Malvy device concept to the public and automotive manufacturers.  This 
division, however, went into receivership in October, 1995.  Prior thereto, 
the Company was engaged primarily in the business of mining and developing 
precious metals in Alaska, the production of oil and gas in Oklahoma and New 
Mexico and the transmission of gas through a pipeline operating in Oklahoma.  
These operations were disposed of during 1995.

On April 27, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the 
capital of Metal Recovery Industries (International), Inc. and its wholly 
owned subsidiary, Metal Recovery Industries (US), Inc. (hereafter referred to 
as "MRI(US)"), a US corporation engaged in the recovery of zinc from 
galvanized steel.  To reflect the importance of the acquisition of this 
business, the company's name was changed from Malvy Technology, Inc. to Metal 
Recovery Technologies, Inc.  Dr. William Morgan, the inventor of the process, 
joined the Board of Directors on May 10, 1995.

(b)  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.  
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all the 
information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements.  In management's opinion, all 
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary 
for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for interim 
periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full 
year.  While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate 
to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these 
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the latest 
audited financial statements and notes included in the Company's Form 10-K.

(c)  INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of zinc bearing solutions, other chemicals and scrap 
steel at the company's plant in East Chicago.

(d)  ORGANIZATION COSTS
The company has elected to continue its practice of capitalizing all of its 
expenses associated with the raising of capital, obtaining financing, 
locating and acquiring equipment, obtaining customers and suppliers, 
installing and testing equipment, and certain other administrative activities 
through the first quarter of 1997.

(e)  DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Metal Recovery Industries (US), Inc. is in the developmental stage and 
therefore no depreciation nor amortization was taken in the accounting 
periods shown in this report.



                                     -5-

(f)  CONVERTIBLE LOANS
Continued operations have, and will (see "Liquidity" below), require loans 
from various entities.  During 1995, 1996 and 1997 MRTI issued convertible 
debt in exchange for funds used to administer and construct its operations.  
As of March 31, 1997, this indebtedness, including interest, amounted to 
$2,899,011.  These loans are exercisable at various rates, from 25 cents to 
43.33 cents per share, and at various times.  They also contain anti-dilution 
provisions and are secured, pro rata, by liens on the shares of MRI(US), as 
well as its assets. During the reporting quarter, $850,000 of convertible 
debt and $65,036 of accrued interest was converted into 4,356,462 shares of 
stock.

At March 31, 1997 the convertible loans consisted of the following:

                        PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                    ITEM 2
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

                             FINANCIAL CONDITION

The increase in property and equipment and other assets at March 31, 1997, 
compared to December 31, 1996 is due to additional cash expended in the 
development of the Company's facility in East Chicago.

                                  LIQUIDITY

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had, in addition to its existing cash on 
hand, unused convertible loan facilities aggregating approximately $1.2 
million. During the reporting quarter, $520,000 of this unused facility was 
draw down and used to administer and construct the Company's operations.  
Additionally, $200,000 was raised by a subscription under Regulation S 
resulting in the issuance of 571,428 shares at $0.35 per share to an offshore 
entity.  The Company believes that it has sufficient working capital, 
existing, or proposed new facilities available to allow the Company to reach 
full production and to pay off all trade creditors.

                          STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                  THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 VS.
                    THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

There was no change in "Revenues" compared to the same period a year ago.  
The company had sales/revenues of $108,945 during the current reporting 
period but because of the election to capitalize all organization costs 
during the development stage of the Company, these revenues were offset 
against the costs capitalized.

 The increase in "operating expenses" is mainly due to litigation expenses 
and the non-capitalized expenditures of the officers.  The Company had 
adopted the policy of capitalizing all costs associated with the development 
of its East Chicago facility until the plant reached full production levels.  
These costs included the development, marketing, installing and testing 
equipment and administrative activities.  Because the officers are involved 
in matters other than those costs applicable to be capitalized, an increase 
in the current period's operating expenses has occurred.

Owing to delays and problems with production, the Company has decided to 
continue, for the first quarter of 1997, its policy of capitalizing costs 
associated with the commissioning of the plant in East Chicago.  For the 
three month's ended March 31, 1997 these organization costs amounted to 
$743,521. Management will review this policy on an ongoing basis but has set 
a target for the second quarter of 1997 to discontinue this policy when the 
plant is processing steel scrap at an operating level of 1,000 tons per month.

The Company reported a net loss for the three months of $0.014 per weighted 
average number of shares outstanding compared to a loss of  $0.0074 per 
weighted average number of shares outstanding for the same period the 
previous year.

During the first three months of 1997, the Company capitalized $61,035 of 
equipment relating to the recommissioning of the plant at East Chicago.

                         PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

(a)  MR. JACK ALEXANDER AND "MORTON BLUE"
In September, 1994, the Company reached a settlement with a former chairman 
and chief executive officer of the Company, Jack Alexander, and certain 
entities related to him, in respect of amounts claimed to be owed to them by 
the Company on accounts of notes payable, loans and the redemption price of 
preferred stock. Under the terms of the settlement, Mr. Alexander was to be 
paid $1.3 million over a period ending May, 1995.  The Company has 
renegotiated several times the terms of payment to Mr. Alexander.  At March 
31, 1997, the Company owed Mr. Alexander a total of approximately $537,687 
regarding this settlement.  Mr. Alexander also owned all of the shares of a 
class of preferred stock which gave Mr. Alexander the right to elect the 
majority of the board of directors of the Company.

During 1996, Mr. Alexander assigned his interest in the settlement, including 
the shares of preferred stock to an entity identified as "Morton Blue" (with 
an address in the British Virgin Islands).  During the first quarter of 1997, 
"Morton Blue" demanded that the Company call a shareholders' meeting at which 
a majority of the directors are to be elected by the holder of the said 
shares of preferred stock.  The Company does not believe that Mr. Alexander, 
or his assignee, has the right to call such a meeting (although the holder of 
such shares of preferred stock may be entitled to designate a majority of the 
directors).

The Company's convertible debt lenders, under the pledge and security 
agreement, have the right, should Mr. Alexander or his assignee continue to 
assert a right to control the Company, to exchange such loans, provided they 
aggregate at least $2 million in principal amount, for outright ownership of 
a majority of the common shares of MRI(US).  The amount owed to Morton Blue 
is $537,687 and $524,748 at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, 
respectively.  The amounts owed to the convertible debt lenders are 
$2,899,011 and $3,288,010 for the same periods, respectively.

The Company has no ability to settle the amount owed to Morton Blue in cash. 
Therefore, after extensive negotiations an agreement has now been reached 
between the Company and Morton Blue to settle the liability and redeem the A 
Preferred shares.  This will occur by the issuance of 2,550,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock under Regulation S of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission.  This amounts to approximately 21 cents per share.  Based on the 
total number of shares outstanding at March 31, 1997, Morton Blue will hold 
approximately 9% of the Company's issued share capital.

Completion of this agreement has not yet taken place.

(b)  LEVINE/CLASS ACTION
On November 6, 1995, an action entitled Levine vs. Metal Recovery 
Technologies, Inc., was filed in the United States District Court of Delaware 
by a shareholder against the Company and certain present and former 
directors, alleging breaches of the federal securities laws, by reason of 
alleged material misrepresentations by the Company and the Company's alleged 
failure to make timely disclosure relating to its Malvy operations.  In 
November, 1996, the Court certified the proposed class.  On October 31, 1996, 
a second action was commenced by the same plaintiff against the same 
defendants and others, including a number of brokerage firms and their 
representatives, alleging a conspiracy to inflate prices at which the shares 
of the Company's common stock traded during the period specified therein.

Without admitting liability, the Company has reluctantly agreed to settle 
these actions.  This decision was primarily taken to avoid mounting legal 
costs, to free management from the burdensome time involved in dealing with 
this matter, and to achieve certainty as to the outcome of the proceedings.  
The uncertainty of these proceedings has been negatively affecting or 
delaying potential business transactions by the Company's subsidiary, Metal 
Recovery Industries (US), Inc.



                                     -8-

<PAGE>

The agreed settlement is $3.25 million payable as follows:

        -  $500,000 in cash to be paid on October 15, 1997 (the effective date).

        -  $550,000, in the form of cash or unrestricted common stock of the 
           Company, to be paid on the effective date.  If the Company elects 
           in its sole discretion not to make this payment in the form of 
           cash , the number of shares of unrestricted common stock of the 
           Company necessary to satisfy the obligation of this subparagraph 
           shall be determined by dividing $550,000 by the market price of 
           the Company's common stock. The market price of the Company's 
           common stock will be deemed to be the average of the closing bid 
           prices of that stock during the ten trading days preceding the 
           effective date.  Should the effective date not have occurred by 
           October 15, 1997, the Company will deposit into escrow on that 
           date an amount of stock equal to twice its payment obligation. 
           Should the Company's stock thereafter decline by 30% or more from 
           the market price, the escrow agent, as promptly as possible 
           without unduly depressing the price of the Company's stock, will 
           liquidate sufficient shares to yield the sum of $550,000 in cash, 
           whereupon the balance of the shares will be returned to the 
           Company.  The funds obtained shall then be held in escrow, bearing 
           interest for the benefit of the class, until the effective date.

        -  The Company will pay the remaining $2.2 million in four annual 
           installments in the amount of $550,000, beginning on the first 
           anniversary of the effective date.  The Company shall have the 
           option, in its sole discretion, to satisfy all or any portion of 
           the installment payment obligation in the form of cash, shares of 
           unrestricted common stock of the Company, or any combination 
           thereof.  If the Company decides not to satisfy the installment 
           payment obligation solely with cash, then the Company shall be 
           obligated to pay in the form of unrestricted common stock of the 
           Company the amount of the installment payment obligation less the 
           amount paid in cash (the "Non-Cash Obligation").  The number of 
           shares of unrestricted common stock of the Company necessary to 
           satisfy the Non-Cash Obligation shall be calculated as follows:  
           (a) if the market price of the unrestricted common stock of the 
           Company is less than $1 per share, then the Non-Cash Obligation 
           divided by the market price;  (b) if the market price of the 
           unrestricted common stock is equal to or greater than $1, but in 
           no event greater than $1.4545, then the Non-Cash Obligation 
           divided by $1 per share; or  (c) if the market price is greater 
           than $1.4545, then the product of the Non-Cash Obligation and 
           1.4545 divided by the market price.  The market price of the 
           Company's stock will be deemed to be the average of the closing 
           bid prices of that stock during the ten trading days preceding 
           each installment payment date.

Completion of this agreement has not yet taken place.

The Company has made no provisions in the financial statements presented with 
this filing for either of the legal matters presented above.  Upon final 
signing of these agreements, expected to occur subsequent to the filing of 
this document, the Company will reflect these settlements in its financial 
statements.

The Company is involved in other matters of litigation in the normal course 
of business.  Management believes that none of these matters, upon their 
ultimate resolution, will involve amounts material to the Company's 
statements.

rights of any holders of any class of registered securities
