   Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

   1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   Financial Statements

   The accompanying  interim condensed  consolidated  financial  statements have
   been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
   interim  financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-QSB and
   Regulation  S-B.  The balance  sheet at  February  28,  1998  represents  the
   Company's audited consolidated balance sheet at that date.

   In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  accompanying  condensed  consolidated
   financial  statements contain all normal recurring  adjustments  necessary to
   present fairly the financial position of Cyclo3pss Corporation ("Company") as
   of August 31, 1998,  and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
   the interim  periods ended August 31, 1998 and August 31, 1997. The operating
   results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
   for a full year.  These  financial  statements  should be read in conjunction
   with the  Company's  audited  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes
   thereto  included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year
   ended February 28, 1998.

   Organization

   The  Corporation was formed in Delaware in 1927. In 1990, the Corporation was
   reorganized as Cyclo3pss  Medical Systems,  Inc. In 1995, the Company changed
   its name to Cyclo3pss  Corporation.  The Company is primarily  engaged in the
   design,  manufacture,  assembly,  sales and installation of ozone application
   technologies and processes.  The Company's  principal  technology provides an
   alternative  to address  food safety  concerns and laundry  disinfection  and
   efficiency.  Cyclo3pss  also  markets  sorting  and  counting  systems to the
   laundry industry and manufactures and sells specialty chemicals.  The Company
   holds  patents  for  medical  sterilization  processes  and  plans to  resume
   research and development activities in this field by the fiscal year 2000.

   Principles of Consolidation

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
   its wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All  intercompany  balances and transactions
   have been eliminated.

   Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and assumptions
   that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
   contingent  liabilities  at the  date  of the  financial  statements  and the
   reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual
   results could differ from those estimates.

   1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

   Net Loss per Common Share

   Net loss per common share is calculated  after  deduction of preferred  stock
   dividends  divided by the weighted  average  number of shares of common stock
   issued and outstanding during the period. Loss per common share for preferred
   stock  dividends was immaterial  (less than one cent per share).  The Company
   excluded  2,556,249 options and 2,296,140  warrants from the weighted average
   shares outstanding computation as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

   New Accounting Standard

   As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting
   Standards ("SFAS") No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income".  SFAS No.130
   establishes new rules for the reporting and display of  comprehensive  income
   and its components;  however, the adoption of this statement has no impact on
   the Company's net income (loss) or stockholders' equity.

   For  the  three  and six  months  ended  August  31,  1998  and  1997,  total
   comprehensive  loss  calculated in  accordance  to SFAS No. 130,  amounted to
   $727,819 and $1,602,327, and $687,556 and $1,218,563, respectively.

   SFAS No.  131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments  of an  Enterprise  and Related
   Information",  establishes  standards for reporting financial and descriptive
   information  about its reportable  operating  segments.  SFAS No. 131 changes
   current  practice under SFAS No. 14,  "Financial  Reporting for Segments of a
   Business  Enterprise",  by  establishing  a new  framework  on  which to base
   segment reporting (referred to as the management  approach) and also requires
   interim  reporting of segment  information.  The Company has elected to apply
   the Statement to its interim financial statements in the current year.

   2.  Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared  assuming that the
   Company will continue as a going concern,  which contemplates the realization
   of assets and  satisfaction  of liabilities in the normal course of business.
   The Company has  sustained  significant  net losses which have resulted in an
   accumulated  deficit of $14,408,184  at February 28, 1998 and  $15,932,595 at
   August 31, 1998,  and  periodic  cash flow  difficulties,  all of which raise
   substantial doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

   The net  loss  for the year  ended  February  28,  1998  was  $2,928,197  and
   $1,524,411 for the six months ended August 31, 1998. To date, the Company has
   funded its  operations  through the issuances of common and preferred  stock.
   The Company's  ability to accomplish its business  strategy and to ultimately
   achieve  profitable  operations  is  dependent  upon  its  ability  to  raise

   2.  Basis of Presentation (continued)

   additional financing.

   The Company  believes that these  conditions  have resulted from the inherent
   risks associated with small technology companies. Such risks include, but are
   not limited to, the  ability to (a)  generate  sales of its product at levels
   sufficient to cover its costs and provide a return for investors, (b) attract
   additional  capital in order to  finance  growth,  (c)  further  develop  and
   successfully  market  commercial  products and (d) successfully  compete with
   other  technology  companies  having  financial,   production  and  marketing
   resources significantly greater than those of the Company.

   The Company is  attempting  to improve  these  conditions by way of financial
   assistance  through  collaborative   partnering   agreements,   issuances  of
   additional equity, debt arrangements, and product sales.

   3. Contingencies

   The Company is involved in certain  legal  actions and claims  arising in the
   ordinary course of business.  Management  believes,  based on advice of legal
   counsel,  that such litigation and claims will be resolved  without  material
   effect  on  the  Company's  consolidated   financial  position,   results  of
   operations or cash flows.  These matters are described in the Company's  Form
   10-KSB for the year ended February 28, 1998.

                                 PART I - ITEM 2

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                               OR PLAN OF OPERATION

   General

   Cyclopss  Corporation is primarily engaged in ozone application  technologies
   and processes. The Company's main product lines offer an alternative for food
   safety,  particularly  microbial  reductions  on meat,  poultry,  fruits  and
   vegetables.  Additional products offered by the Company enable  manufacturers
   to eliminate  microbial build up in and on food processing  equipment,  while
   other  ozone-related  products  marketed  by the  Company to  commercial  and
   institutional laundry  markets enable users to reduce costs  associated  with
   labor, water, energy, chemicals, and wastewater disposal.

   The  Company  also  markets an  automated  sorting  and  counting  system for
   commercial  laundries.  Other  non-ozone  based products offer by the Company
   include more than 350 specialty chemicals and compounds.

   The Company has developed but not marketed two medical sterilization products
   to date.  Due to the demand for  alternative  disinfection  systems  for food
   safety and cost saving  equipment for the  commercial  laundry  markets,  the
   Company shifted its focus from medical sterilization, to more immediate, less
   or non-encumbered target markets -- food, laundry and chemical compounds.

   Results of Operations

   The Company's revenues were $588,664 for the six months ended August 31, 1998
   compared to $551,619 for the six months  ended August 31, 1997.  The revenues
   for the three months ended August 31, 1998 were $265,273 compared to $249,228
   for the three months ended August 31,  1997.  Three of the  Company's  wholly
   owned  subsidiaries  currently  contribute to the Company's  gross  revenues,
   Eco-Pure Food Safety Systems,  Inc. (EPFS),  Cyclopss  Laundry Systems,  Inc.
   (CLS) and Cyclopss Biochemical  Corporation (CBC). The Company's gross margin
   for the six months ended  August 31, 1998 was  $127,968  compared to $128,245
   for the six months  ended  August 31,  1997.  The gross  margin for the three
   months  ended  August 31, 1998 was $82,682  compared to $71,044 for the three
   months  ended  August 31, 1997.  The Company  expects  revenue to continue to
   increase.

   Research and  development  expenses  increased to $206,538 for the six months
   ended August 31, 1998 from $152,023 for the six months ended August 31, 1997.
   Research and development  expenses for the three months ended August 31, 1998
   were  $91,716,  a slight  increase  from  $74,159 for the three  months ended
   August 31, 1997. The Company believes it is necessary and intends to increase
   its research and development efforts in the current year in order to complete
   the development  process of food  processing  systems and to comply with USDA
   protocols to validate these systems.

   Selling and marketing expenses increased to $203,650 for the six months ended
   August 31,  1998 from  $164,274  for the six months  ended  August 31,  1997.
   Selling and  marketing  expenses  for the three  months ended August 31, 1998
   were  $93,490,  compared to $116,822  for the three  months  ended August 31,
   1997. The Company placed its advertising in a variety of general business and


                                    - 12 -

<PAGE>






   food-related  trade  publications,  to maximize its  exposure  during what is
   continuing  to be a period of  increased  scrutiny  over food safety  issues.
   Management  believes  that  it  is  critical  to  periodically   support  and
   supplement its sales efforts through advertising,  public relations campaigns
   and trade- show participation.

   General and  administrative  expenses  increased  to  $1,035,698  for the six
   months  ended  August 31, 1998 from  $657,867 for the six months ended August
   31, 1997, due to an increase in management employment,  shareholder relations
   and legal fees. General and administrative expense for the three months ended
   August 31, 1998 were  $482,634,  an increase to $386,760 for the three months
   ended August 31, 1997 for the same reasons.  Management  took steps to reduce
   general and administrative costs to help conserve cash in August, 1998.

   Interest  expense declined to $2,501 for the six months ended August 31, 1998
   compared  to  $101,059  for the six  months  ended  August 31,  1997,  and it
   declined to $1,077 for the three  months  ended  August 31, 1998  compared to
   $42,852 for the three months ended August 31, 1997,  due to the conversion of
   long-term debt to common stock.

   The Company believes that three of its divisions, namely Eco-Pure Food Safety
   Systems, Inc., Cyclopss Laundry Systems, Inc., and Cyclopss Biochemical, Inc.
   will be the major  contributors to the Company's  future revenue  stream.  In
   order to achieve  sales growth  acceptable  to  management,  the Company will
   primarily focus on these three areas of the Company.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources

   As of August 31, 1998 the Company had insufficient  funds on hand to continue
   its  operations  for the entire fiscal year ending  February 28, 1999.  Under
   direction from the Board of Directors, in August, 1998 the Company eliminated
   several non-essential positions,  reducing the number of employees by roughly
   half and  overhead by 80%.  Also,  on  September  1, 1998  chairman/CEO  Gary
   Bratcher  resigned to help the Company conserve cash and reduce overhead.  On
   September 10, 1998 the board of directors  authorized  issuance of Series "C"
   convertible  preferred  stock  with a $.01 par  value  and a stated  value of
   $1,000 per share.  These shares are convertible  into common shares at 70% to
   90% of the average stock price.  The shares provide for payment of cumulative
   dividends at 10% annually,  paid in stock. The offering was opened on October
   1, 1998.  The  Company is  currently  in  process of closing  this  offering.
   Despite  the  additional  funds  that  may be  raised  from the  issuance  of
   preferred stock,  currently in progress,  the Company under it's present plan
   of operations,  does not have sufficient  liquidity and capital  resources to
   continue in operation through February 28, 2000.

   On October  2, 1998 the  Company  was  de-listed  from the Nasdaq  Small-Cap
   Market, since it did not meet the new quantitative  maintenance  requirements
   for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market. This decision was made by a
   Nasdaq Listing  Qualification Panel and the Company appealed this decision on
   October 12, 1998.  Because the Company has funded its operations  through the
   sale of its  securities,  the failure to be listed on Nasdaq will likely have
   an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to raise additional capital.





                                    - 13 -

   Cash used in operating  activities  was  $1,871,952  for the six months ended
   August 31,  1998  compared to $700,905  for the six months  ended  August 31,
   1997.  The Company's use of cash has been more  aggressive  this year, as the
   Company  experienced  significant  general and  administrative  and marketing
   expenses  associated  with the development and promotion of its Eco-Pure Food
   Safety Systems.

   Cash  expenditures  for property and  equipment and other assets were $50,768
   for the six months  ended  August  31,  1998  compared  to $9,281 for the six
   months  ended August 31,  1997.  This  increase was the result of the Company
   increasing purchases of research equipment, patent fees and certain leasehold
   improvements.

   During the period of March 9, 1998 to June 15, 1998,  the Company  authorized
   and  offered its  restricted  common  shares to  accredited  investors  in an
   offering  made  pursuant to a Board  Resolution  on February 27, 1998 through
   First Financial Investment Securities Inc. Subscribers purchased 1,395,140 of
   such shares in this offering for a total of  $1,743,925  or $1,500,820  after
   costs.  These  shares  were  sold for  $1.25  each and each  share  carries a
   warrant. This redeemable warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of
   common  stock  at a price of $3.75  per  share.  This  offering  resulted  an
   increase in net cash  provided  by  financing  activities  for the six months
   ended  August  31,  1998 to  $1,499,520  compared  to cash used in  financing
   activities of $11,435 for the six months ended August 31, 1997.

   Total assets decreased to $1,335,594 for the six months ended August 31, 1998
   from  $1,960,141  for the year ended  February 28, 1998, due to a decrease in
   the  Company's  cash  position  and a decrease  in accounts  receivable  from
   $113,090 at February 28, 1998 to $75,880 at August 31, 1998.

   Total  current  liabilities  decreased  to  $197,073  at August 31, 1998 from
   $806,286 at February 28, 1998, a decrease of $609,213.  Long term liabilities
   decreased  to $9,735 for the three  months ended August 31, 1998 from $13,278
   for  the  year  ended   February   28,  1998.   This   decrease  was  due  to
   reclassification  of long term lease  obligations to current  obligations and
   reflects the efforts of  management  to reduce the debt burden of the Company
   and pay down existing obligations.


   Plan of Operation

   The  Company's  Plan  of  Operation  is  subject   to  the  availability   of
   additional capital, of which there can be no  assurance. As stated  elsewhere
   in the Form 10-QSB,  the Company continues to  operate at a  significant loss
   and continues to have insufficient capital for its operations.

   Food Safety Systems

   In June of 1997,  ozone was granted the status as  "generally  recognized  as
   safe" or "GRAS",  allowing food  processors to use ozone in the processing of
   certain food items.  This,  together with a period of increased scrutiny over
   food safety  issues,  created a groundswell  of demand for  alternative  food
   decontamination  technologies.  One Cyclo3pss  designed food safety system is
   already in the  process of being  installed  for a major  food  company.  The
   Company believes this sale will result in further opportunities with this and
   other food related companies.



                                    - 14 -

<PAGE>




   One  major challenge  that the Company faces is that of educating government,
   industry  and  the  end  consumer  about the  benefits  of ozone.  Ozone is a
   naturally-occurring    phenomenon    that    is   usually   associated   with
   photochemical smog or an eroding level of  protection  in our atmosphere.  It
   is the Company's  intent to provide this  education and  show  the beneficial
   side of ozone:  decontamination  without residual chemicals.   For  industry,
   ozone  is  a  cost  competitive  and   environmentally-friendly   answer   to
   microbial   decontamination.   For  the   consumer,   ozone   kills   harmful
   microorganisms quickly and leaves behind no chemical residue.

   Laundry Systems

      The Company will  continue to market its ozone  laundry  washing  systems,
   Eco-Wash.  The  Company  will also  continue to upgrade  existing  customers'
   sorting  and  counting  system,   (VAC  Soil  Counting  System)  with  recent
   technological  changes.  The Company  believes  the  products  developed  and
   marketed by this subsidiary will enjoy increased  market  potential in coming
   years due to:

   *  Competitive  laundry  markets  will create a need for cost  reduction  and
      increased  productivity;  
   *  Further  environmental  restrictions  placed  on discharge water quality;
   *  Increased emphasis on sanitation and disinfection in the laundry industry;
      and 
   *  Increased  concern  regarding  environmental issues associated with the 
      laundry industry.

   Specialty Chemicals

   The Company's Biochem  subsidiary will be provided  additional  marketing and
   promotional  assistance in order to increase  sales and product  development.
   Current sales activities will be evaluated and alternatives sought to improve
   profit  margins.  Joint efforts will continue  with Foster  Miller,  Inc., to
   market Biochem's monomer to the aerospace industry.

   The focus for the fiscal  year 1999 will be sales in the three  target  areas
   and the Company will apply the resources  necessary to accomplish  this.  The
   Company anticipates a spending level of approximately  $1,000,000 on research
   and development  activities  required to continue with product validation and
   food trials. Sales and marketing activities will be budgeted at $1,500,000 to
   allow  for  sales   staff,   advertising   and  trade   shows.   General  and
   administrative expenses should be in the $2,000,000 range for the year.

   The Company had 11 full time  employees  as of August 31,  1998.  The Company
   anticipates  additional  employees will be required in engineering  and sales
   during the next twelve months.  The impact of the above will be determined by
   the  market  demand  for  food  safety  and  textile  systems  and  specialty
   chemicals.

   The information  set forth herein as to anticipated  research and development
   costs,  equipment  purchases and increase in employees are management's  best
   estimates  based upon current plans.  Actual  expenditures  may be greater or
   less than such estimates depending on many factors including, but not limited
   to the availability of new technologies, the completion or lack of completion
   of certain strategic alliances,  and the timing and successful  completion of
   the Company's stated requirement to acquire  additional  operating and growth
   capital, industry
