NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
A. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed and omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
annual report and most recent financial statements included in its
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1996 filed with the
Securities Exchange Commission.
The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however,
such information reflects all the adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of results of operations and cash flows
for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and
nine months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operations, Liquidity, and Capital Resources
- --------------------------------------------
On October 21, 1992, the Company entered into a limited partnership agreement
with several other limited partners and a sole general partner to provide for
management, funding, manufacturing and marketing of the Power Cell reserve
battery unit on a worldwide basis. The Company initially owned an 11% interest
in the limited partnership, which may increase or decrease due to the occurrence
of certain events. The interest decreased to 9.47% during fiscal 1995 and 7.28%
during fiscal 1996 due to the addition of outside investors, resulting in a pro
rata dilution. In addition, a separate license royalty agreement between the
Company and the limited partnership provides that the Company will receive
royalty payments on all Power Cell units produced and sold in the United States
and its territories. Royalty payments on international sales of Power Cell units
will be paid to individual rights holders, some of which are affiliates of the
Company, and all of which are limited partners in the Partnership.
The contract agreement has no provision for direct funding by Power Cell, Inc.
Its earnings, if any, will be derived from an interest in the limited
partnership together with royalties, if any, from the license royalty agreement.
On July 1, 1996, Reserve Battery Cell, L.P. (Reserve Battery) announced initial
market release in select cities of the Power Cell Reserve Battery unit.
According to Reserve Battery, the product will plug into a cigarette lighter or
attach directly to battery terminals and recharge a battery even in extreme
weather conditions (-10 degrees F to 100 degrees F) in a matter of minutes.
Also, these small units can be stored for years, do not need to be recharged and
never lose their power prior to activation. The Power Cell has the strength to
recharge a battery more than once for a few weeks after it has been activated.
It is a powerful 5 amp Hour battery and, with the additional purchase of a Power
Inverter, will operate small household and other electronic appliances for hours
during a power outage or emergency situation.
Reserve Battery was marketing the product line through Direct Response
Television, magazine print advertising, direct mail, and via their Web Site and
www.safestart.com.
Power Cell, Inc. has received information from Reserve Battery that, as of
December 31, 1996, funds in excess of $4,288,000 had been expended on product
development, capital equipment, operating capital, and marketing activities.
Reserve Battery has recently advised the Company, that operations have been
suspended, pending retooling and acquisition of sufficient financing to support
operations and future retail sales.
Power Cell management is currently evaluating its future course of action. To
improve its liquidity, the Company is negotiating for a sale of common shares to
an investor. Also, the developments herein when implemented should assist the
Company in reviewing the possibility of affiliating with other companies through
acquisition or merger combinations that would provide a financial basis for a
public or private placement of debt or equity. There are ongoing discussions and
analysis of several potential candidates that could provide a solution to the
financial requirements of Power Cell, Inc. to proceed as a viable entity and/or
and integral part of an existing operation. The Company had a working capital
deficit as of March 31, 1997 of $25,467.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Company has been engaged in organizational and capital raising activities
since inception through March 31, 1997. It has not incurred major operational
expenditures. The losses incurred since inception primarily reflect legal,
accounting, and administrative expenses associated with the preparation of the
merger documents and registration statement, product development and arranging
for the manufacture of its battery charger product for test marketing purposes.
