Item 1.  Financial Statements

                        ROTARY POWER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
            NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements for Rotary Power International, Inc. (the
"Company") have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. In the opinion of management, the
information contained herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results for the interim
periods presented.

The balance due on the loan made by the Company to Hydro Lance Maritime
Transport, Inc. ("Hydro Lance"), was treated as a subscription receivable
through December 31, 1996 since the loan was collateralized entirely by shares
of the Company's Common Stock owned by Abejon Rotary Power Corporation
("Abejon"), an entity with common directors, officers and shareholders with
Hydro Lance. This loan was written off entirely in the quarter since the Abejon
agreements were canceled on March 21, 1997 due to the continuing default by
Hydro Lance in its payment obligations to the Company. 822,916 Shares of the
Company's Common Stock originally issued to Abejon, held by the Company as
collateral, were canceled, and the subscription receivable was offset against
paid in capital.

Information included in the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1996 has been
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited financial
statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and footnotes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1996, as filed with the SEC.

The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2:  SUPPLEMENTAL NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS

DEVIATION FROM PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The Company did not make a payment of $150,000 on the deferred acquisition
obligation due to John Deere Technologies International ("JDTI") on January 30,
1997 and is in negotiation with Deere & Company with regard to the fixed minimum
payments due to JDTI under the deferred acquisition obligation.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

On May 23, 1997, operations were ceased and all employees were laid off. The
Company anticipated operating funds in association with the impending merger
with PowerCold, which did not materialize. Richard M. H. Thompson, former
Director, President and CEO, continued on a consulting basis in an effort to
consummate the merger. Also several employees remained on a consulting basis at
the request of Mr. Frank Simola, Chairman of PowerCold, to support ongoing
production and field operations for the 65 Series Natural Gas and 65 Series
Marine Engine programs.

The Company's United States Government contracts were substantially completed by
the end of the year 1996. The exception being a SBIR contract for a 8.5kW APU
for a United States Marine Corps vehicle, which was in progress at the time of
shut-down. Future U.S. Government contract revenues are expected to be minimal.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996

Revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased approximately
97%, or $2,565,246 to $66,754 from $2,632,000 for the same three month period in
1996. This decrease comprised a reduction in virtually all U.S. Government
contract revenue, offset by an increase in commercial revenue. The primary
contributor to the reduction was the effective stoppage of operations on May 23,
1997. The United States Marine Corp. Contract for the development of the
5-rotor, 2950 HP Series 580 engine accounted for $3,023,664 of last year's
revenues in this period, and was completed in the third quarter of 1996.

Cost of revenues decreased 69% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, in
comparison with the same period in 1996. The lowered costs of reduced production
were partially offset by the increase of approximately $475,000 related to the
factory cost of the pre-production Series 580 commercial marine engines and by
increased costs of roughly $14,000 for the natural gas Series 65 industrial
engines. General and administrative expenses decreased 37% due primarily to the
cessation of operations, offset somewhat by expenses associated with the
continuation of several employees on a consulting basis to support the ongoing
production operations and field support of the 65 Series Natural Gas and Marine
engine programs.

Engineering and product development expenses dropped 10% (approximately $49,600)
due to the termination of all projects midway through the period. Operating
losses of $2,223,926 were sustained as expenditures were made on projects for
which funding and near-term revenues were anticipated, as well as fixed expenses
unrelated to sales volume.

Interest expense remained at $251,000 in the second quarter of 1997, as it was
in the 1996 period, and interest income decreased 53% to $61,197 in the second
quarter of 1997 from $131,000 in the second quarter of 1996. This decrease was
due to lower interest income earned from the FICO strips.

As a result of the above, net loss increased $705,502 to $1,253,502 in the
second quarter of 1997 from 

                                       7
<PAGE>

$548,000 in the second quarter of 1996.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

In December 1996, the Company concluded an agreement with International
Cryogenic Systems Corporation (the name of which has since been changed to
PowerCold Corporation) whereby PowerCold invested $1,000,000 in the company in
exchange for 2,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Simultaneously, the
Company and PowerCold agreed in principle to merge the two companies in a
stock-for-stock acquisition, whereby the Company would become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of PowerCold.

In March, 1997, the Company received $1,000,000 from the Trustee for the
bondholders of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority Taxable Revenue
Bonds, Series 1992, from the proceeds of the sale of the FICO Strips held by the
Trustee as collateral for the bondholders.

It was anticipated that these and other cash resources would be sufficient to
enable the Company to continue its operations through June 30, 1997. Higher than
anticipated operating costs, as well as costs associated with the pending merger
caused the funds to be used at a higher than planned rate. The Company
anticipated operating funds in association with the impending merger with
PowerCold, which did not materialize, as the merger was not consummated.

On May 23, 1997, operations were ceased and all employees were laid off. Mr.
Thompson continued on a consulting basis in an effort to consummate the merger.
Also several employees remained on a consulting basis at the request of Mr.
Frank Simola, Chairman of PowerCold, to support ongoing production and field
operations for the 65 Series Natural Gas and 65 Series Marine Engine programs.

The Company's United States Government contracts were substantially completed by
the end of the year 1996. The exception being a SBIR contract for a 8.5kW APU
for a United States Marine Corps vehicle, which was in progress at the time of
shut-down. Future U.S. Government contract revenues are expected to be minimal.

Capital expenditures were essentially non-existent in the first half of 1997,
compared to approximately $57,000 for the first half of 1996.

Working capital on June 30, 1997 was ($985,567) compared to ($27,674) on March
31, 1997. The Company remained at a stand-still pending additional operating
funds. The long-term future of the Company depends on its ability to obtain
additional sources of financing and there can be no assurance that such
financing can be obtained on acceptable terms if at all.
