                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                              (Unaudited)

1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Dauphin Technology, Inc. (the "Company") was founded to design, 
manufacture and market mobile computing systems, including laptop, 
notebook, hand-held and pen-based computers, components and accessories. 
Historically, the Company marketed directly and through other 
distribution channels to both the commercial and government market 
segments.

On June 6, 1997, Dauphin acquired all issued and outstanding shares of 
R.M. Schultz & Associates, Inc. ("RMS"), an electronics contract 
manufacturing firm located in McHenry, Illinois.  RMS is involved in 
electronics design, development and production of products for 
manufacturers located in Illinois and Wisconsin (see Note 3).

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dauphin 
Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, RMS (the "Company").  
All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been 
eliminated in consolidation.

2.  SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Accounting Pronouncements

Earnings per share are calculated under guidelines of FASB No. 128 
"Earnings per Share" wherein earnings per share are presented for basic 
and diluted shares on income from operations and net income.  Basic 
earnings per share are calculated on income available to common 
stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares 
outstanding during the period, which were 36,339,137 for the three month 
period March 31, 1998 and 29,547,111 for the three month period March 
31, 1997.  Diluted earnings per share are calculated using earnings 
available to each share of common stock outstanding during the period 
and to each share that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance 
of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding 
during the reporting period.  There is no difference between basic and 
diluted earnings per share as there are no potential dilutive common 
shares.

The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive 
Income", establishing standards for reporting and displaying 
comprehensive income in a full set of general-purpose financial 
statements. There is no difference between the net income reported and 
comprehensive net income for the three months ending March 31, 1998 and 
1997.

The Company also adopted a Statements of Position ("SOP") 98-5, 
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities". The SOP requires that 
all start-up related costs, including organizational costs, be expensed 
as incurred and all previous capitalization costs be written off.   The 
adoption of the SOP did not have a material impact on the financial 
statements.

Unaudited Financial Statements

This Form 10-Q updates the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 
year ended December 31, 1997, in accordance with the instructions on the 
Form 10-Q. It is presumed that the reader has read the Annual Report on 
Form 10-K.

The accompanying statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 
10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all 
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered 
necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included.  The 
interim financial statements contained herein do not include all of the 
footnotes and other information required by generally accepted 
accounting principles for complete financial statements as provided at 
year end.

The reader is reminded that the results of operations for the interim 
period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the complete 
year.

3.  BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

R. M. Schultz & Associates, Inc.

On June 6, 1997, the Company acquired all outstanding common stock of 
RMS for $2,430,258, consisting of issuance of common stock for $233,200 
and an assumption of $2,197,058 of liabilities.  The transaction was 
accounted for as a purchase.  The price was allocated to accounts 
receivable ($590,330), inventories ($772,658), other current assets 
($43,716), property and equipment ($148,108), with the remaining amount 
($875,446) being allocated to goodwill.  The goodwill is being amortized 
over 20 years.

Under the terms of the acquisition, RMS shareholders received 220,000 
shares of Dauphin common stock, with an additional 105,000 of such 
shares deposited into an escrow to be released equally over the next 
three years if certain financial goals of RMS are achieved.  Upon 
issuance of the shares, there will be an additional element of cost 
related to the transaction that will be recorded as goodwill and 
amortized over the remaining life.

Results of the operations of RMS are included within the consolidated 
financial statements commencing June 6, 1997.  Unaudited pro forma 
results as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 1997 are as follows 
(unaudited):

of future operations.

4.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has contracted with Family Tools, Inc. for the manufacturing 
of the industrial molds for the Orasis(. The total commitment was 
$521,250 of cash, before final modifications, of which $270,925 was paid 
in the first quarter, and 60,000 Company $.001 par common shares (see 
Note 6).

The Company is involved in a lawsuit with an ex-employee/officer that 
has claimed that the Company wrongfully discharged him.  The suit was 
filed on April 11, 1998. Management believes that the Company has 
several defenses to the claim and made adequate provisions in the 
financial statements for any expected liability that may result from the 
disposition of the lawsuit.  It is the opinion of management that the 
ultimate liability, if any, will not be material to the Company's 
results of operations or financial position.

5.  LIABILITIES

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company financed a purchase of 
certain operating equipment, industrial molds and leasehold 
improvements.  The Company financed approximately $52,000 of such 
purchases with a capital lease payable over the next three years.

6. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

1998 Events

On January 5, and then on March 5, 1998, under an employment contract 
relating to the RMS acquisition, the Company issued 12,500 shares on 
each date to Richard M. Schultz. Under the contract, Mr. Schultz is 
entitled to purchase 50,000 common shares per year for the duration of 
his employment contract at $1.00 below the market value on the date 
immediately preceding the date of exercise. The common shares issued in 
connection with this transaction were treasury shares.  On March 6, 1998 
Mr. Schultz returned 7,877 shares to treasury as repayment of his 
obligation to the Company.  

On March 3, 1998, for the services performed, the Company issued 30,000 
shares to Mr. Mikolai Prociuk.

On March 31, 1998 the Company registered with Securities and Exchange 
Commission 4,523,608 shares issued to accredited investors in a private 
placement that concluded in December 1997.  In addition to shares issued 
in the private placement, the Company registered 2,964,327 shelf shares 
that will be used, if needed, for future acquisitions, to raise capital, 
if needed, to fund production of Orasis( hand-held computer and RMS 
contract manufacturing operations, and to expand the Company's employee 
benefits and product and service offerings.  These shelf shares have not 
been issued and are not outstanding.

Subsequent Events

On May 8, 1998 the Company issued 60,000 treasury shares to Family Tools 
for the services provided in connection with the manufacturing of 
industrial molds for production of the Orasis( hand-held computer.  The 
shares will be valued at $1.125, closing bid price on that day.  The 
total amount of cash expended and shares issued will be capitalized and 
amortized over the number of units produced over the life of the molds.

7.  CONVERTIBLE DEBT - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On May 13, the Company issued 8% Convertible Subordinated Debentures - 
2001 to four accredited investors in an aggregate principal amount not 
to exceed $1,000,000, which is due and payable on May 13, 2001. Interest 
is computed at a simple rate and is due and payable on an annual basis.  
Both interest and principal can be paid in either cash or through 
issuance of the Company's $.001 par common stock and is due and payable 
in full in three years after the issuance.  The holders of the 
Debentures have the right to convert 100% of principal and interest, at 
any time, into Company's $.001 par common stock, based on a formula.  In 
addition to interest, debenture holders are entitled to purchase up to 
150,000 shares of $.001 par common stock with exercise of detachable 
warrants.  The warrants are priced at 115% of the closing bid on the day 
before the exercise date.  In addition, the Company paid 8% of the 
principal amount of the debenture, and issued 50,000 warrants, as fee 
for placement of the debentures through a registered broker-dealer.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
                             OF RESULTS OF 
                   OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Note:  This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve 
risks and uncertainties.  The Company's actual results could differ 
significantly from those set forth herein.  Factors that could cause or 
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those 
discussed herein, as well as those discussed in the Company's Securities 
and Exchange Commission filings and reports including, but not limited 
to, its fiscal year 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Readers are 
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking 
statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date 
hereof.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the 
results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, which may 
be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to 
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION

March 31,1998 Compared to December 31, 1997

During the first quarter of 1998, total assets decreased to $6,095,000 
at March 31 from $7,269,000 at December 31, 1997.  The decrease was 
primarily due to continued expenditures on Research and Development (R & 
D) of Dauphin's new flagship product, Orasis.  In addition to R & D 
expenditures, the Company repaid approximately $400,000 of current 
liabilities and increased its workforce.  Decrease in cash from 
$3,621,000 on December 31, 1997 to $1,918,000 on March 31, 1998, was due 
to all factors mentioned above as well as expenditures for industrial 
molds and Orasis( electronic component inventory.  Accounts Receivable 
represent certain funds due to the Company as part of the normal 
operations of the Company, including RMS operations. 

Total liabilities decreased by approximately $357,000 as a result of 
payment of a portion of the current liabilities. The remaining debt 
represents normal obligations incurred in a day-to-day operation of the 
Company and long-term leases.  Shareholders Equity - Common Stock, Paid-
in-Capital and Treasury Shares reflect the issuance of additional shares 
as part of the employment contract between the Company and Richard M. 
Schultz and payment of obligations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

March 31, 1998 compared to March 31, 1997

Revenues

Total sales revenue in the first quarter of 1998 dramatically increased 
from the first quarter of 1997 due to operations of newly acquired RMS.  
Gross profit for the first quarter of 1998 was approximately 16%, which 
is consistent with RMS historical operating profits.

Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $336,000 in 
the first quarter of 1997 to $564,000 in the first quarter of 1998. The 
increase is primarily due to additional salaries for new employees and 
increased spending on trade shows to introduce Orasis. The Company now 
employs approximately one hundred people versus just twelve a year ago.  
R and D costs increased from $4,000 in the first quarter of 1997 to 
$555,000 in the first quarter of 1998.  The increase was due to spending 
related to development of Orasis.

Net Income(Loss)

The (loss) after tax increased for the first quarter of 1998 to ($875,000)
or ($0.03) per share from ($327,000) or ($0.01) per share in 1997.  
(Loss) per common share is calculated based on the monthly weighted 
average number of common shares outstanding which were 36,339,137 for 
the three month period March 31, 1998, and 29,547,111 for the period 
March 31, 1997.

<PAGE 10>

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had extensive cash requirements in the first quarter of 1998 
due to the latter stages of development and pre-production phases for 
the Orasis.  Costs associated with the Company's financial requirements 
in the first quarter of 1998 were met through cash generated from 
private placement of shares to accredited investors in 1997 and through 
issuance of Convertible Subordinated Debentures in the second quarter of 
1998.  The Company expects additional cash requirements in the second 
quarter of 1998 to fund the early steps of production of the Orasis.  
Sales of Orasis should begin late in the second quarter of 1998. Cash 
flow generated from the sales of Orasis, will be applied to current and 
future working capital needs, future research and development as well 
day-to-day operating needs of the Company.  The Company will be pursuing 
avenues to raise additional operating capital, possibly through a credit 
facility. 

The Company believes that the funds it currently has on hand, including 
funds raised through issuance of Convertible Debentures, when coupled 
with its anticipated operating profits, and any additional funds it may 
borrow in the future, provide sufficient funds for the Company to 
finance its operations.
