Note 1.  Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------

The accompanying financial statements of ICHOR Corporation (the "Corporation") 
are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, they include all 
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, 
results of operations and cash flows of the Corporation for the specified 
periods.

All adjustments made during the three months ended March 31, 1999, were of a 
normal, recurring nature. The amounts presented for the three months ended 
March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for 
a full year.  Additional information is contained in the audited consolidated 
financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Corporation's 
annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, and 
the interim period financial statements contained herein should be read in
conjunction with such annual report.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's financial 
statements to conform with the current period's presentation.

Note 2.  Earnings (Loss) Per Share
- ----------------------------------

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income or 
loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the 
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  The weighted 
average number of shares outstanding were 4,907,520 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share takes into account common shares outstanding, 
potentially dilutive common shares and preferred shares convertible into 
common shares.  Stock options and warrants have not been reflected as 
exercised for purposes of computing the diluted loss per share for the three 
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, since the exercise of such 
options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and 
financial condition of ICHOR Corporation (the "Corporation") for the three

- ---------------------------------------------------------

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased to $61,000 from

to $1,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1998, as a result of interest 
received on a loan.

Costs and expenses decreased to $72,000 in the three months ended March 31, 
1999 from $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998, primarily as 
a result of a decrease in general and administrative expenses resulting from 
the sale by the Corporation of Ichor Services, Inc. ("Services"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Corporation, in the first quarter of 1998.  Interest 
expense was nil in the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $0.1 
million in the comparative period of 1998, as a result of the sale of Services 
which had financed certain receivables for work performed under certain 
Florida State rehabilitation programs.

The Corporation reported a net loss of $11,000, or $0.01 per share, in the 
three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to net income of $0.2 million, or 
$0.04 per share, in the three months ended March 31, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $0.7 million at March 31, 
1999, compared to $50,000 at December 31, 1998.  The Corporation maintains a 
line of credit with an affiliate in the amount of $0.8 million to fund working 
capital requirements.  The line of credit was fully utilized as at March 31, 
1999.

Net cash used in operating activities was $36,000 in the three months ended 
March 31, 1999, compared to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 
1998.  Operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 1999 used cash 
primarily as a result of an increase in advances to affiliates and a decrease 
in advances from affiliates.  A decrease in accounts receivable provided cash 
of $50,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to an increase 
in accounts receivable using cash of $0.6 million in the comparable period of 
1998.

Investing activities provided cash of $0.7 million in the three months ended 
March 31, 1999, as a result of payment received on a note receivable.  On 
October 20, 1998, the Corporation entered into an agreement (the "Purchase 
Agreement") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common 
stock of Nazca Holdings Ltd. ("Nazca") from eight shareholders (the 
"Vendors").

Drummond Financial Corporation ("Drummond") and Logan International Corp. 
("Logan"), two major shareholders of the Corporation, entered into an 
agreement (the "Agreement" and with the Purchase Agreement, the "Agreements") 
with the Vendors pursuant to which each of Drummond and Logan agreed to 
transfer a certain number of shares of common stock of the Corporation held by 
each of them to the Vendors as partial consideration for the Vendors entering 
into the Purchase Agreement with the Corporation.  The obligation to transfer 
the shares of common stock was contingent upon Nazca meeting certain 
performance criteria on or before March 31, 1999.  Effective March 31, 1999, 
Logan, Drummond, the Corporation and the Vendors entered into an agreement to 
amend the terms of the Agreements to extend the time for the satisfaction of 
the performance criteria and the delivery of the shares of common stock of the 
Corporation to May 31, 1999.  For further details regarding the amending 
agreement, see the Corporation's Form 8-K dated April 9, 1999.

The Corporation believes that its assets and line of credit should enable the 
Corporation to meet its current ongoing requirements.  The Corporation 
anticipates that it may require substantial capital to pursue current and 
future acquisitions of businesses and/or operating assets and will seek such 
capital through debt and/or equity financing.

Year 2000
- ---------

Many of the world's computer systems currently record years in a two-digit 
format.  These computer systems will be unable to properly interpret dates 
beyond the year 1999, which could lead to business disruptions and is commonly 
referred to as the "Year 2000" issue.  Based on its current information, 
management of the Corporation has determined that the Year 2000 issue will not 
pose significant operational problems for its computer systems as it only 
utilizes commercially available software and personal computers, which are 
Year 2000 compliant.  The total cost to the Corporation of Year 2000 
compliance activities has not been and is not currently anticipated to be 
material to its financial position or results of operations in any given year. 
In addition, management of the Corporation has initiated communications with 
clients to ascertain their Year 2000 readiness and develop contingency plans 
as required, and management intends to address this issue with any prospective 
client.  The determination by management and costs relating to the Year 2000 
issue are based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing 
numerous assumptions of future events.  However, there can be no assurance 
that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could vary materially 
from those anticipated.
