PART I
Item 1. Business
MPM Technologies, Inc. ("MPM" or "the Company") has four wholly-owned
subsidiaries including Huntington Environmental Systems, Inc. ("HES"), AirPol,
Inc. ("AirPol"), Nupower, Inc. ("Nupower") and MPM Mining ("Mining"). For the
year ended December 31, 1998, HES and AirPol were the only completely
operational entities.
HES and AirPol operate in the air pollution control industry. They sell air
pollution control systems to Fortune 500 and other large industrial companies.
MPM continues its efforts in the development of a waste-to-energy process known
as "Skygas". These efforts are largely through MPM's participation in Nupower
Partnership in which MPM has a 58.21% interest through its ownership of Nupower.
Mining operations have been discontinued at the direction of MPM's board of
directors, and will be sold.
HUNTINGTON ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC.
Effective April 1, 1997, MPM acquired certain of the assets and assumed certain
of the liabilities of part of a division of United States Filter Corporation in
exchange for 146,666 shares of the Company's common stock. The transaction was
accounted for as a purchase. In connection with the acquisition, MPM formed a
wholly-owned subsidiary, HES, which assumed the assets and liabilities acquired.
HES designs, engineers, supplies, and services high temperature and chemical air
pollution control systems for Fortune 500 and other environmental and industrial
companies around the world.
HES has been in the business for over 25 years, and has over 300 installations
worldwide. HES's engineering staff is uniquely prepared to address the full
scope of customers' process problems. HES's policy of handling clients'
individual concerns includes in-depth analysis and evaluation, followed by
complete engineering and design services leading to application-specific
engineered solutions.
HES was the first acquisition in MPM's revised plans to change its focus and
direction toward environmental concerns generally, and pollution issues
specifically.
AIRPOL, INC.
Effective July 1, 1998, the Company acquired certain of the assets and assumed
certain of the liabilities of part of a division of FLS miljo, Inc. The
agreement called for the Company to pay $300,000 worth of its stock, and
$350,000 in cash subject to certain adjustments. The cash portion of the
acquisition was $234,610. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase.
AirPol, like HES, designs, engineers, supplies and services air pollution
control systems for Fortune 500 and other environmental and industrial
companies. The technologies used by AirPol differ from those used by HES, and
the companies are in no way competitors. On certain specific applications, they
may complement each other in that a customer may require both types of pollution
control systems.
The technologies of AirPol utilize wet and dry scrubbers, wet electrostatic
precipitators and venturi absorbers to control air pollution. AirPol brings over
30 years experience to MPM through its technologies and employees.

<PAGE>
NUPOWER, INC.
The Company holds a 58.21% interest in Nupower Partnership through its ownership
of Nupower. No other operations were conducted through Nupower. Nupower
partnership is engaged in the development and commercialization of a
waste-to-energy process. This is an innovative technology for the disposal and
gasification of carbonaceous wastes such as municipal solid waste, municipal
sewage sludge, pulp and paper mill sludge, auto fluff, medical waste and used
tires. The process converts solid and semi-solid wastes into a clean-burning
medium BTU gas that can be used for steam production for electric power
generation. The gas may also be a useful building block for downstream
conversion into valuable chemicals. Nupower Partnership owns 70% of the Skygas
Venture. MPM separately owns 15% of the venture and USF Smogless, Milan, Italy
(a subsidiary of United States Filter Corp.) owns the remaining 15% of the
venture.
MPM MINING, INC.
Mining controls 32 claims on approximately 1,000 acres in the historical Emery
Mining District in Montana. It also owns a 200 ton per day floatation mill on
site. Extensive exploration has been conducted in the area by companies such as
Exxon Corporation, Freeport McMoran Gold Company and Hecla Mining Company in
addition to the efforts of Mining. In accordance with the Board of Director's
mandates in 1998, MPM's management is actively seeking out mining companies and
other businesses to purchase its mining properties and equipment.
FACTORS MANAGEMENT USED TO IDENTIFY REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
MPM's reportable segments are business units that offer different products. The
reportable segments are each managed separately because they design and engineer
distinct products with different applications in the air pollution control
field. MPM's other segments are essentially non-operational at the present time,
and, accordingly have been aggregated for reporting purposes. Data for segment
reporting is shown in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item
7.
BACKLOG
MPM has a backlog of orders and work in progress aggregating approximately
$16,400,000 at December 31, 1998. This is comprised of approximately $11,000,000
at AirPol and approximately $5,400,000 at HES. It is anticipated that operations
will consume these backorders throughout the year at AirPol, and in the first
two quarters of 1999 at HES. There is currently no other backlog of orders for
any of MPM's other businesses.
WASTE-TO-ENERGY
MPM's waste-to-energy process consists of an innovative technology known as
"Skygas". MPM is negotiating with interested entities to work with in building
Skygas units. Negotiations are ongoing, and MPM management is hopeful that there
will be some type of formal agreement in place during the second quarter of
1999, and that construction of a unit can begin before the end of the year.
Additionally, USF Smogless is in negotiations with other interested parties in
Europe to build Skygas units. MPM expects these negotiations to be completed in
the second quarter as well. There can be no assurances that MPM will be
successful in its negotiations.

COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS
Both HES and AirPol operate in extremely competitive environments. There are a
number of potential competitors for every job the companies bid on. The number
of bidders ranges from two or three to as many as seven or eight depending on
the potential customer and the work to be performed. The parts and service side
of the business tends to be somewhat less competitive since the parts and
service work are generally for units that have previously been sold and/or
installed by the companies.
There are a significant number of persons and companies developing or that have
developed any number of waste-to-energy systems. Management of MPM believes that
its development of Skygas as a non-polluting and energy efficient system will
give it the necessary competitive edge in this area.
Due to the large number of persons and companies engaged in exploration for and
production of mineralized material, there is a great degree of competition in
the mining part of the business. Since management has decided to sell its mining
holdings and equipment, it will no longer need to compete in this area.
SEASONAL VARIATIONS
The impact of seasonal changes is minimal on the air pollution control
businesses of HES and AirPol. There may be some limitations on the installation
of the air pollution control units when the weather is more severe in the winter
months in those areas of the world where the weather is significantly colder in
that season. There have been, however, no discernible variations to date to
indicate that the business is subject to seasonal variations.
There are currently no seasonal influences on the ongoing development of the
Skygas process. It is also not expected that there will be any seasonal
variations when the Skygas units are produced.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1998, MPM employed twenty-one full-time employees at HES, and
nineteen full-time employees at AirPol. MPM believe that its relations with its
employees are good.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Properties
HES presently owns no property related to its air pollution control business. It
leases its office space under a lease expiring in September of 2003, with an
option for an additional five years. AirPol leases its office space under a
lease on a month-to-month basis. MPM has no property related to its
waste-to-energy operations. MPM believes that its existing facilities are
adequate for the current level of operations.
The principal properties of MPM's mining interests consist of the following
claims under control:
Owned by MPM:
Eight Patented Claims
Sixteen Unpatented Claims
Leased by MPM:
Eight Patented Claims
These claims amount to approximately 1,000 acres of land in Montana. MPM
controls eighteen former mine sites that have been inactive since 1930. Each of
these has old adits, tunnels and dump piles of known mineralized material. All
testing and metallurgical work has been completed. Management has directed MPM
to sell these interests as previously discussed.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
MPM's management knows of no litigation present, threatened, or contemplated, or
unsatisfied judgments against MPM or its subsidiaries, officers or directors, or
any proceedings in which MPM or its subsidiaries or officers or directors are a
party.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
MPM mailed to shareholders of record as of December 21, 1998, a Notice of
Special Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement. Shareholders were asked to
consider and vote upon the issuance of shares of MPM's $0.001 par value common
stock in exchange for and upon the conversion of shares of MPM's outstanding
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. At the Special Shareholder's Meeting on
January 25, 1999, the result of the vote was as follows:

connection with this offering. Subsequent to year end, MPM received additional
funds of approximately $440,000 and incurred costs of approximately $81,000.
Prior to the issuance of the preferred shares, MPM rescinded the agreement and
will refund the monies advanced.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
a) Results of Operations
MPM acquired certain of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of a
part of a division of FLS miljo, Inc. as of July 1, 1998. MPM formed AirPol to
run this air pollution control business. As of April 1, 1997, MPM acquired
certain of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of a portion of a
division of United States Filter Corporation, and formed HES to operate this air
pollution control business. The results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1998 include the operations of AirPol for the six months from July
1, 1998 through December 31, 1998, and the operations of HES for the entire
year. The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 include the
operations of HES for the nine months from April 1, 1997 through December 31,
1997.
The acquisition of HES changed MPM from a development stage company to an
operating company. Prior to that acquisition, there had been no revenues
reported since 1994. Accordingly, revenues increased to $6,076,936 in 1997. A
full year of operations from HES and the acquisition of AirPol in 1998 increased
revenues to $10,056,054 for the year ended December 31, 1998.
For 1998, MPM included all assets related to its mining and related properties
as being held for sale pursuant to the directive of the Board of Directors that
the properties should be sold. Losses from mining and related activities have
been included as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of
operations in the financial statements. For more information regarding these
matters, see the financial statements included as Item 8 in this filing.
Since the acquisition of HES, management has strategically pursued the
consolidation of its operations, and effected a reduction in both its overhead
and operating costs. At the same time, HES has increased its efforts in sales
and marketing. Steps to improve market share included the creation of the new
position of Vice President of Sales and Marketing. This position was filled in
late 1997 with a highly experienced individual. In November 1998, HES added
another sales person, and was in the process of hiring another sales person when
this document was being prepared. Other steps to improve market awareness have
included preparation of new product literature, presentations of technical
papers and continued participation and attendance at strategic industry trade
shows.
Management of HES believes that it has the resources in place to significantly
increase its top line results, with
7
<PAGE>
a corresponding improvement on the bottom line. Requests for quotations continue
at strong levels both for firm quotations and for budget quotations. Firm
quotations are requests to quote on projects that the customer is currently
planning to implement. Budget quotations are for customers who are in the
process of doing their capital budgeting, and may be planning to include a HES
unit, upgrade or service. Quotations for repeat customers are high for both new
and replacement equipment. Quotations for new projects abroad include
installations in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and India. HES has also
developed its first two-chamber unit which was recently started. Management
believes that two chamber units will comprise an increasing percentage of the
total volatile organic compound (VOC) control market in the upcoming years.
HES is anticipating improvements in all areas in 1999. Management's goal is to
produce $1,000,000 in orders each month. Sales for all of 1999 are projected to
exceed $10,000,000. This would be a 60% increase over the sales in 1998. These
projections are based in part on the year-end backlog of approximately
$5,400,000 which will be realized in the first two quarters of 1999, meeting its
goal in March 1999, and on the activity levels currently being experienced. The
increased activity is attributed to the additional personnel, and other efforts
by HES to increase its market share.
AirPol's performance since its acquisition by MPM on July 1, 1998 has far
exceeded management's expectations. Some major sales activity toward the end of
the year resulted in a backlog of approximately $11,000,000, the majority of
which will be realized during 1999. With the backlog in existence, and new and
anticipated orders, AirPol is projected to have revenues in excess of
$16,000,000 for 1999. This would be an increase of 319% over the period ended
December 31, 1998 which included only six months of operations of AirPol for
that period.
AirPol's performance can be attributed to its strong management and enthusiastic
work force. It is management's opinion that AirPol's results prior to the
acquisition were hindered because of the structure of the large corporate
environment, and an inability to react to the marketplace in a timely manner.
Management at AirPol has made the necessary adjustments to properly position it
to best serve its markets which is reflected in the strong sales numbers.
At December 31, 1998, MPM had deferred tax assets of approximately $1,700,000,
and has provided a valuation allowance in an equal amount since, in the opinion
of management, it cannot be determined that it is more likely than not that MPM
will realize the benefits of the assets.
1998 COMPARED TO 1997
Revenues increased $3,979,118, or 65.5%, from $6,076,936 in 1997 to $10,056,054
in 1998. This was due to the acquisition of AirPol effective July 1, 1998 which
accounted for $3,822,691 of the increased revenues. The net loss from continuing
operations for 1998 was $699,322, or $0.36 per share, compared to a loss from
continuing operations of $341,467, or $0.19 per share for 1997. This was due to
a larger than expected loss at HES which was caused primarily by the
postponement of two large jobs in the fourth quarter of 1998, and lower than
expected activity in the first quarter of 1998. MPM had significantly higher
expenses in 1998 than 1997 due primarily to professional fees associated with
the reverse 1 for 9 stock split, the acquisition of AirPol, and expenses
associated with MPM's proposed offering of convertible preferred stock.
Losses from discontinued operations were $435,681, or $0.22 per share, for 1998
compared to $32,990, or $0.02 per share, for 1997. The discontinued operations
were MPM's mining operations. The increased losses in 1998 were due to a
$400,000 write down of MPM's mining properties to reflect management's estimate
of the net realizable value. Management is actively attempting to sell MPM's
mineral properties. Net loss for 1998 was $1,135,003, or $0.58 per share,
compared to $374,457, or $0.21 per share in 1997.
8
<PAGE>
Gross margin in 1998 increased 92% to $2,186,102 from $1,137,774 in 1997. This
was due primarily to the acquisition of AirPol on July 1, 1998. AirPol accounted
for $891,866 of the increased gross margin. The balance of the increase was due
to improved margins at HES which are the result of improving market conditions
and management's efforts at job cost controls.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,450,043, or 102.1%,
from $1,419,803 in 1997 to $2,869,846 in 1998. Of this amount, approximately
$683,000 was due to expenses incurred at AirPol following its acquisition. The
balance of the increases were due to there being a full year of HES expenses in
1998 compared to nine months in 1997, and increased expenses at MPM related to
its acquisitions, expenses of its reverse stock split and other corporate
activities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During 1998, funds for operations were provided principally by cash generated
subsequent to the acquisitions of HES and AirPol and their continuing
operations. Current cash reserves and continuing operations of HES and AirPol
are believed to be adequate to fund MPM's and its subsidiaries operations for
the foreseeable future. MPM will also consider alternative sources of capital
such as private placements, stock offerings and loans from shareholders and
officers to fund its current business and expand in other related areas through
more acquisitions.
Following is a summary from MPM's consolidated statements of cash flows:
Year ended
December 31,
------------
1998 1997
---- ----
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 784,491 $1,945,738
Net cash used in investing activities (428,640) (51,941)
Net cash provided by financing activities 268,123 76,233
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents 623,974 1,970,030
The net cash provided by operating activities in 1998 of $784,491 was due
primarily to increases in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
contracts in progress. For 1997, the net cash provided by operating activities
of $1,945,738 was due to collections of accounts receivable, reductions in costs
in excess of estimated earnings on contracts in progress, and also to increases
in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on contracts in progress.
The net cash used in investing activities of $428,640 in 1998 was due primarily
to the acquisition of AirPol and to purchases of property and equipment. For
1997, the net cash used in investing activities of $51,941 was entirely due to
additions of property and equipment.
In 1998, the net cash provided by financing activities was due to the $760,250
received from a preferred stock subscription which was partly offset offering
costs related to the preferred stock subscription, by repayments of debt and the
repurchase of MPM's common stock. MPM completed its private offering of
preferred stock in early 1999. Net proceeds raised were $975,000. Prior to the
issuance of the preferred shares, the agreement was rescinded and MPM will
refund the monies advanced. MPM eliminated its bank debt in 1998, and was
contemplating the filing of a registration statement in connection with the
registration of stock and convertible preferred stock at the end of 1998. This
filing has been postponed indefinitely.
Management believes its present sources of working capital are sufficient for
both its short and long-term purposes.
9
<PAGE>
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than to define the applicable year. Any of MPM's computer programs
or hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in
a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations.
Based on recent assessments, MPM management has determined that its basic
computer systems are year 2000 compliant, and will properly utilize dates beyond
December 31, 1999. MPM has also identified other areas where minor modifications
will be required for some of its less critical software to make it year 2000
compliant, and has taken steps to make sure that these modifications are
completed in a timely manner. Accordingly, management believes that the Year
2000 Issue will not have a material impact on its operations.
MPM is also making inquiries of its major suppliers to determine their systems'
compliance with the year 2000 issue. Management has determined based on
responses received to date that the majority of its suppliers are in compliance
with year 2000 issues. Accordingly, the effect of a third party's non-compliance
is not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition of MPM.
During 1998, MPM expended approximately $4,000 on issues related to its
compliance with the year 2000 issues. MPM expects to spend an additional $2,000
in 1999 to ensure that its systems are Year 2000 compliant to avoid disruption
of its operations and financial condition.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is required to be adopted in all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Statement
requires companies to recognize all derivative contracts as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the
objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the
hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of
the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii)
the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not
designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized as income in
the period of change. Based on its current and planned future activities
relative to derivative instruments, MPM believes that the adoption of the
Statement on January 1, 2000 will not have a significant effect on its financial
statements.
In June 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-5
("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities". SOP 98-5 requires
all start-up and organizational costs to be expensed as incurred. It also
requires all remaining historically capitalized amounts of these costs existing
at the date of adoption to be expensed and reported as the cumulative effect of
a change in accounting principle. SOP 98-5 is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 1998. MPM believes that the adoption of SOP 98-5
will not have a significant effect on its financial statements.
10
<PAGE>
In February 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 135,
"Rescission of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 75 and Technical
Corrections". SFAS No. 135 rescinds SFAS No. 75 and amends Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 35. SFAS No. 135 also amends other
existing authoritative literature to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 135 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after February
15, 1999. MPM believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 135 will not have a
significant effect on its financial statements.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Although inflation has slowed in recent years, it is still a factor in our
economy and MPM continually seeks ways to mitigate its impact. To the extent
permitted by competition, HES and AirPol pass increased costs on to their
customers by increasing prices over time. Management estimates that the impact
of inflation on the revenues for 1998 was negligible.
Since MPM did not engage in any mining operations, sales of metals or metal
bearing ores, and was in the development stage of the waste-to-energy process,
inflation did not materially impact the financial performance of those segments
of the MPM's business. Management estimates that the operations of MPM were only
nominally impacted by inflation.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

MPM Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MPM Technologies,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of MPM Technologies,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
We also audited the adjustments described in Note 17 which were applied to
restate the 1997 consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, these
adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OPERATIONS, PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
MPM Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated as Okanogan Development,
Inc. on July 18, 1983, under the laws of the State of Washington. It was formed
primarily for the purpose of investing in real estate and interests in real
estate. On April 25, 1985, the Company combined with MADD Exploration (MADD), a
Montana partnership, and changed its name to Montana Precision Mining, Ltd. In
August 1995, the Company changed its name to MPM Technologies, Inc. As a result
of the combination with MADD, the Company acquired mining properties located in
Powell County, Montana. As of the end of 1997, the Company is no longer engaged
in exploration or developmental mining activities in regard to these properties
(See Note 12).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and the following subsidiaries and other entities controlled by the
Company: Huntington Environmental Systems, Inc. (HES), AirPol, Inc. (AirPol),
MPM Mining, Inc., NuPower, Inc., NuPower (a General Partnership) and SkyGas.
Intercompany accounts and transactions among the companies have been eliminated.
HES, a wholly owned subsidiary, was acquired on March 31, 1997 (See Note 1). HES
designs, engineers, supplies and services air pollution control systems for
Fortune 500 and other environmental and industrial companies worldwide. HES's
systems primarily utilize heat and chemicals to control air pollution.
AirPol, a wholly owned subsidiary, was acquired on July 2, 1998 (See Note 1).
AirPol, like HES, designs, engineers, supplies and services air pollution
control systems. AirPol's systems, however, utilize wet and dry scrubbers, wet
electrostatic precipitators and venturi absorbers to control air pollution.
NuPower, a 58.21% owned partnership, is engaged in the research and development
of an electrothermal gasification process which will be utilized primarily in
the waste-to-energy field, although the process is expected to have applications
in other areas. This partnership was formed in 1986.
SkyGas, an 85% directly and indirectly owned joint venture, was formed in 1990
for the purpose of commercializing the SkyGas technology, which is a
disposal/gasification process that converts solid and semi-solid wastes into
clean, medium BTU syntheses gas. As of December 31, 1998, participants and
interests owned in the SkyGas venture included: NuPower, 70%, MPM Technologies,
Inc., 15%, and USF Smogless of Milan, Italy (a subsidiary of United States
Filter Corporation), 15%.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Contract revenue is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in the
ratio that costs incurred bears to estimated costs at completion. Costs include
all direct material and labor costs, and indirect costs, such as supplies,
tools, repair and depreciation. Selling, general and administrative costs are
charged to expense as incurred. Other revenue is recorded on the basis of
shipment or performance of services or shipment of products. Provision for
estimated contract losses, if any, is made in the period that such losses are
determined. During 1998 and 1997, no amounts were recognized for estimated
contract losses.

MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The asset "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings" represents
revenues recognized in excess of amounts invoiced. The liability "billings in
excess of costs and estimated earnings" represents invoices in excess of
revenues recognized.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the
first-in, first-out method.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
For financial reporting purposes, the costs of plant and equipment are
depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from
three to fifteen years, using the straight-line method.
MINERAL PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE
Mineral properties held for sale are stated at estimated net realizable value
determined based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the
liquidation of the related asset.
GOODWILL AND PURCHASED INTANGIBLE
Goodwill and purchased intangible represents the excess of the purchase price
over the fair value of net assets acquired and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated period of future benefit of ten years.
The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and purchased
intangible. The measurement of possible impairment is based primarily on the
Company's ability to recover the unamortized balance of the goodwill and
purchased intangible from expected future operating cash flows on an
undiscounted basis.
ASSET IMPAIRMENT
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for financial impairment, and
continues to evaluate them as events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company
evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring the carrying
amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows
associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future
undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to
recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair
values.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
SFAS No. 109 uses the asset and liability method so that deferred taxes are
determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions
of enacted tax laws and tax rates. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is
based on the changes in the financial statement bases versus the tax bases in
the Company's assets or liabilities from period to period.

MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions.
Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to a concentration
of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its
cash and cash equivalents with various high quality financial institutions;
these deposits may exceed federally insured limits at various times throughout
the year.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets as of December 31, 1998 and
1997 for cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate
fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial
instruments. The fair value of notes payable and long-term debt approximates its
carrying value as the stated or discounted rates of the debt reflect recent
market conditions. The fair value of related party debt cannot be determined.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of balance sheet classification and the statements of cash flows,
the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
WARRANTY RESERVE
The Company warranties its pollution control units for defects in design,
materials, and workmanship generally for a period from six months to one year.
Provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded upon completion of the
project and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
EARNINGS PER SHARE
SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted
earnings per share on the face of all income statements issued after December
15, 1997 for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic earnings per
share includes no dilution and is calculated by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the average number of shares actually outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of
securities (such as stock options, warrants and securities convertible into
common stock) that could share in the earnings of an entity. At December 31,
1998 and 1997, outstanding options to purchase 247,613 and 101,000 shares of the
Company's common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share as their effect would have been antidilutive. As the Company's stock
options are antidilutive, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for
all periods presented.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the 1997 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1998 consolidated financial statement
presentation.
EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131,
DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, which
supersedes SFAS No. 14, FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR SEGMENTS OF A BUSINESS
ENTERPRISE, establishes standards for the new way that public enterprises report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial
statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures
regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No.
131 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which
separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 by the Company in 1998 did
not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position.
In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 132,
EMPLOYERS' DISCLOSURES ABOUT PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS, which
standardizes the disclosure requirements for pension and other post-retirement
benefits. The adoption of SFAS No. 132 did not materially impact the Company's
current disclosures.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS No. 133
requires companies to recognize all derivative contracts as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the
objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the
hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of
the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii)
the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not
designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized as income in
the period of change. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company believes that the
adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2000 will not have a significant effect
on its financial statements.

MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In June 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP)
98-5, REPORTING ON THE COSTS OF START-UP ACTIVITIES. SOP 98-5 requires all
start-up and organizational costs to be expensed as incurred. It also requires
all remaining historically capitalized amounts of these costs existing at the
date of adoption to be expensed and reported as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle. SOP 98-5 is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 1998. The Company believes that the adoption of SOP
98-5 will not have a significant effect on its financial statements.
In February 1999 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 135,
RESCISSION OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD NO. 75 (SFAS No. 75) AND
TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS. SFAS No.135 rescinds SFAS No. 75 and amends Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 35. SFAS No. 135 also amends other
existing authoritative literature to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 135 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after February
15, 1999. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 135 will not have a
significant effect on its financial statements.

1. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
On March 31, 1997, the Company acquired an operating business from United States
Filter Corporation under the terms of an asset purchase agreement and
subsequently formed an Illinois corporation, Huntington Environmental Systems,
Inc., into which the acquired assets and liabilities were transferred. The
acquisition of HES was recorded under the purchase method of accounting;
accordingly, the results of operations of HES are included in the consolidated
statements of operations from the date of acquisition. The purchase price
consisted of the issuance of 146,667 shares of the Company's common stock valued
at $990,000. The excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the
purchase price was $944,889, which amount has been established as negative
goodwill and is being amortized over ten years.
As of March 31, 1997, the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
were as follows:
Accounts receivable.............................................. $ 2,429,994
Inventories ..................................................... 386,738

On July 2, 1998, the Company acquired an operating business from FLS miljo, Inc.
under the terms of an asset purchase agreement and subsequently formed a New
Jersey corporation, AirPol, Inc., into which the acquired assets and liabilities
were transferred. The acquisition of AirPol was recorded under the purchase
method of accounting; accordingly, the results of operations of AirPol are
included in the consolidated statements of operations from the date of
acquisition. The total purchase price of AirPol was $534,610 and consisted of
$234,610 of cash and 96,884 shares of common stock of the Company valued at
$300,000. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets
acquired was $760,532 and is being amortized over ten years.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT
In conjunction with the Company's acquisition of HES (See Note 1), the Company
assumed a long-term obligation totaling $1,200,000, which is payable in fifteen
annual installments of $75,000. As there was no stated interest rate on the
obligation, an imputed interest rate of 9% was utilized which represented the
Company's estimated borrowing rate. The $75,000 payment due in 1998 has not been
made as the Company believes the note holder has breached the agreement. Under
the terms of the agreement, non-payment does not result in the debt being
callable. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the carrying value of the obligation,
net of discount, was $604,552 and $651,596, respectively. At December 31, 1998,
current amounts owed under this obligation are $150,000, of which $106,966 of
accrued interest is included in accrued expenses.
7. RELATED PARTY DEBT
Related party debt consists of advances received from various directors and
related parties. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, amounts owed these related
parties totaled $270,000 and $514,765, respectively, and are due on demand.
Certain of the related party creditors voluntarily agreed to terminate their
current and future right to interest payments. As such, interest expense of
$27,187 has been imputed on this debt at 10% for 1998 with a corresponding
offset to additional paid-in capital. In 1997, the related party creditors
agreed to subordinate their loans to claims of outside creditors.
During 1998, the related party creditors entered into an agreement with the
Company to exchange notes payable and accrued interest thereon together with
property contributed for shares of the Company's common stock. Under this
agreement, the Company issued 234,575 shares of common stock in exchange for
notes payable and accrued interest totaling approximately $285,000 and a
contribution of property with an estimated fair value of approximately $93,000.
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases office space and mineral properties under operating leases
that expire at various dates through 2003. Future minimum rental payments
required under operating leases that have initial and remaining noncancelable
terms in excess of one year are as follows:

MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has entered into an exclusive license rights agreement for
technology to be utilized in its SkyGas venture. Pursuant to the terms of the
agreement, the Company has agreed to pay $72,000 annually through April 2007.
The agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time.
9. INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had net deferred tax assets of
approximately $1,700,000 and $1,300,000 principally arising from net operating
loss carryforwards for income tax purposes, the write down of mineral
properties, and book and tax differences on goodwill and purchased asset
adjustments. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more
likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred
tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been
established at both December 31, 1998 and 1997.
At December 31, 1998, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards totaling
approximately $3,500,000 that expire in the years 2001 through 2012.
10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
In June 1998, the Board of Directors authorized a 1 for 9 reverse stock split.
This reverse stock split was performed by the Company granting to all
stockholders as of the date of record one share of common stock to replace every
nine shares of stock currently outstanding. All references in the consolidated
financial statements referring to the number of shares, share prices, per share
amounts and options have been adjusted retroactively for the effect of this
reverse stock split.
PREFERRED STOCK DEPOSIT
During 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to obtain $1.2 million
through the issuance of shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 1998, the
Company had received deposits of approximately $760,000 and incurred costs of
approximately $144,000 in connection with this offering. Subsequent to year end,
the Company received additional funds of approximately $440,000 and incurred
costs of approximately $81,000. Prior to the issuance of preferred shares in
1999, the agreement was rescinded and the Company is to refund monies advanced
to it. Accordingly, funds received through December 31, 1998 have been
classified as a current liability and offering costs incurred have been
expensed.

On May 22, 1989, the shareholders of the Company voted to approve a stock option
plan (the Plan) for selected key employees, officers and directors of the
Company. The Plan is administered by a Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors (the "Committee") consisting of those directors of the Company and
individuals who are elected annually by the Board of Directors to the Committee.
The Board of Directors has chosen one of the Company's directors and one outside
individual to serve on the Committee. No director eligible to receive options
under the Plan may vote upon the granting of an option or Stock Appreciation
Rights (SAR) to himself or herself or upon any decision of the Board of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Directors or the Committee relating to the Plan. Under the Plan, a maximum of
236,667 shares were approved to be granted, which in 1997 and 1998, was
increased by 55,555 and 250,000 respectively, to 542,222. Generally, the Plan
provides that the terms under which options may be granted are to be determined
by a Committee subject to certain requirements as follows: (1) the exercise
price will not be less than 100% of the market price per share of the common
stock of the Company at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted, or as
established by the Committee for Non-qualified Stock Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights; and (2) the option purchased price will be paid in full on
the date of purchase. The Plan provides that options may be transferred only by
will or by laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the
optionee's lifetime only by the optionee or by the optionee's guardian or legal
representative.
Stock option activity under the Plan is summarized as follows:

SFAS No. 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net
loss and loss per share as if compensation cost for the Company's stock option
plan had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method
prescribed by SFAS No. 123. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock
option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions used: dividend yield of zero percent;
expected volatility of 40 percent; risk-free interest rate of 6 percent; and
expected lives of five years. The weighted average fair value at date of grant
for options granted to employees in 1998 was $1.59 per option. Under the
accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1998 would have been
adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

12. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND FOURTH QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS
During 1998, the Board of Directors authorized a plan to dispose of the
Company's mineral properties and related mining assets. Accordingly, the Company
has classified these assets as mineral properties held for sale in its balance
sheet at December 31, 1998 and 1997. The Company is actively seeking buyers for
these assets. During the year ended 1998 and 1997, the Company recognized a loss
from operations of discontinued mining operations of $435,681 and $32,990. The
1998 loss includes a fourth quarter adjustment of $400,000 to write-down the
carrying value of the Company's mineral properties to estimated net realizable
value. This write-down was the result of depressed gold prices and the impact of
the Montana Initiative I37, which limits the use of cyanide heap leach process
and is currently being litigated in the Montana judicial system.

13. NOTE RECEIVABLE
During 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain equipment
related to the SkyGas technology to the inventor of this technology in exchange
for a $275,000 note receivable. The note is collateralized by the equipment
sold. Under the agreement, the note was due in a balloon payment of $275,000 on
December 1, 1995 or at such time the SkyGas process is placed into sustainable
commercial production. On January 22, 1999, the Company amended its agreement to
extend the due date of the balloon payment until December 1, 1999.
14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The president of the Company is also the president of another company that
provides general insurance coverage and various administrative and office
expenses for the Company. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company owed
$63,116 and $55,116, respectively, to this related party company. In 1998 and
1997, the Company incurred expenses to this related party company of $105,100
and $65,434, respectively.
The Company contracts for its shareholder relations services with an officer of
the Company. The Company incurred expenses to this related party for services in
1998 and 1997 of $67,841 and $41,350, respectively.
Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 1998 and 1997, are amounts owed
the Company by a partner in the SkyGas joint venture of $26,748 and $14,625,
respectively, for SkyGas related expenses.
15. PURCHASED INTANGIBLE
In 1996, the Company issued 133,333 shares of its common stock to acquire an
additional 15% interest in the SkyGas venture. The transaction was recorded at
$675,000 based on the then-fair value of the shares issued. In accordance with
FASB Technical Bulletin No. 84-1, the Company recorded an intangible asset
representing the additional interest purchased in SkyGas's patent and licensing
rights. The intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
its estimated period of future benefit of ten years.
16. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's consolidated financial statements include certain reportable
segment information. These segments include HES, a wholly owned subsidiary

17. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial statements for 1997 have been restated as a result of corrections of
errors in the accounting for (i) minority interest, (ii) the acquisition of HES
and (iii) the acquisition of the Company's additional 15% interest in SkyGas.
MINORITY INTEREST
The Company had previously recorded at December 31, 1997 a receivable balance of
$753,748 representing the minority interests' allocated interest in the
accumulated losses of the NuPower partnership. Due to uncertainties regarding
the ultimate recoverability of these losses from the minority interests, the
Company absorbed the minority interest receivable balance as of January 1, 1997
of $718,888 and reversed the 1997 allocated loss of $34,859.
ACQUISITION OF HES
The Company previously recorded the value of the 146,667 shares of Company
common stock issued to acquire HES at a per share price of $12.02. Based on the
then-fair value of the common stock, a per share price of $6.75 should have been
used. The resulting decrease in the value of consideration paid in the
acquisition gave rise to negative goodwill of approximately $945,000. The
Company has elected to amortize the negative goodwill over a ten year period,
which resulted in 1997 amortization of approximately $71,000. Additionally, the
Company expensed in 1997 approximately $100,000 in bad debts which amount had
previously been reflected as a purchase price adjustment.
ACQUISITION OF ADDITIONAL INTEREST IN SKYGAS
During 1996, the Company issued 133,333 shares of its common stock for an
additional 15% interest in SkyGas. The shares were valued at a per share price
of $9.00; the per share fair value of the shares at the time of issuance was
approximately $5.06. Accordingly, the Company reduced the recorded value of the
transaction by approximately $525,000. Additionally, as the Company consolidates
its investment in SkyGas, this additional investment was reclassified as a
purchased intangible, for which the Company has assigned a ten year life.
Amortization expense recorded in 1997 was $67,500.
The net impact of these error corrections resulted in a $1,243,888 reduction in
stockholders' equity at January 1, 1997 and impacted previously reported 1997
amounts as follows:
