                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim financial information of BOLDER Technologies Corporation (the
"Company" or "BOLDER") as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2000 and 1999 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring entries) which the Company's management believes to be
necessary for the fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities
and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Interim results of operations for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of operating results to be expected for the full year.

At March 31, 2000, securities that have been excluded from basic and diluted net
loss per share because they would be antidilutive include 2,451,597 outstanding
options to purchase the Company's common stock, 291,641 outstanding warrants to
purchase the Company's common stock and 325,000 shares of Convertible,
Redeemable Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 1,083,333 shares of
common stock.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff released Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 provides
interpretive guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue
in financial statements. The accounting impact of SAB 101 is required to be
determined no later than the Company's second fiscal quarter of 2000. If the
Company determines that its revenue recognition policies must change to be in
compliance with SAB 101, the implementation of SAB 101 will require the Company
to report the impact of this change as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle as if SAB 101 had been implemented on January 1, 2000. The
Company is currently reviewing SAB 101 to determine what impact, if any, the
adoption of SAB 101 will have on its financial position and results of
operations. Implementation guidelines for this standard could lead to
unanticipated changes in the Company's current revenue recognition policies.
Such changes could affect the timing of the Company's future revenue and results
of operations.

In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation" ("FIN No. 44"). The Interpretation clarifies the application of
APB No. 25 for certain issues related to equity based instruments issued to
employees. FIN No. 44 is effective on July 1, 2000, except for certain
transactions, and will be applied on a prospective basis. Management believes
that FIN No. 44 will not have a significant impact on its financial statements.

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

Except for the historical information contained herein, this report may contain
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including
manufacturing risks associated with implementing new process technology,
achieving commercial-scale manufacturing levels, achieving consistent yields and
quality, uncertainty of market acceptance and the timing of market acceptance,
as well as other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including our registration statement on Form
S-3 filed on August 31, 1999, the prospectus supplement filed November 8, 1999,
and the Form 10-K filed March 29, 2000. These risks (i) have materially and
adversely affected, and may in the future materially and adversely affect, our
results and (ii) have caused and may in the future cause such results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us.

OVERVIEW

Since our inception in March 1991 until the launch of our first commercial
product in the second half of 1999, we were a development stage company,
principally engaged in the research and development of our TMF(R) battery
technology, to which we have devoted significant resources. In May 1997, we
moved to a new 127,000 square foot leased manufacturing facility and corporate
headquarters in Golden, Colorado. We believe this facility will accommodate
multiple production lines, two research and development ("R&D") lines, and all
of our other operations. In the third quarter of 1997, we installed our first
high-volume manufacturing line, designed to annually produce approximately four
million 1 Ah cells. For approximately the next year, we focused most of our
resources on qualifying the line for commercial production. In the fourth
quarter of 1998, we qualified our production line and introduced our 1 Ah cell,
which can be a modular building block for various battery packs.

Upon qualifying the production line and introducing our 1 Ah cell, our focus
shifted to the design, manufacture, and introduction of products based on our
TMF technology. On August 5, 1999, we introduced SECURESTART(TM), an instant
engine starter which employs our TMF technology and, specifically, the 1 Ah
cell. In August 1999, we entered into an agreement with Sears, Roebuck to supply
SECURESTART(TM) to approximately 2,000 Sears' stores. We began commercial
shipments of SECURESTART(TM) in October 1999, and SECURESTART(TM) is currently
available in the majority of Target stores, Sears Mall, Sears Dealer and Sears
Hardware stores, G. I. Joe Auto and Sporting Goods, The Hardware Stores in
Michigan and Home Hardware, the largest hardware chain in Canada.
SECURESTART(TM) is also available through a variety of catalogs, including Sky
Mall, Herringtons, West Marine and Sears Craftsman. During the first quarter of
2000, we continued to commercialize our Thin Metal Film (TMF(R)) technology and
launched the SECURESTART(TM) Marine jump-start product. As the first jump-start
line extension product, the SecureStart Marine is targeted toward the consumer
boat market and offers special corrosion-proof features. We believe that the
majority of our near-term revenues will be generated from sales of these two
SECURESTART(TM) products.

Our fourth quarter 1999 shipments to Sears included stocking orders in
anticipation of the holiday gift-giving period and the winter driving season. In
addition, we purposely delayed adding other major retailers to be assured of
meeting our product obligations to Sears. For both of these reasons, we expected
and realized lower first quarter 2000 revenues than in the fourth quarter 1999
period. Beyond the first quarter 2000, we expect gradually increasing sales from
existing customers, the addition of new retailers to the SECURESTART(TM)
distribution base and from the marketplace introduction of the marine version of
SECURESTART(TM) in the second quarter of 2000.

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

Inventories increased to $4.3 million at March 31, 2000 from $1.6 million at
December 31, 1999. We believe there is some seasonal relationship to consumer
demand for the auto version of SECURESTART(TM), resulting in higher product
sales in the second half of the year than in the first half. With these seasonal
factors, along with the expectation of significantly more customers in the
second half of the year, we expect to further increase inventory levels during
the second and third quarters of 2000 to meet anticipated customer requirements.
If sales during 2000 are too low to allow us to substantially recover our
investment in inventories, we may be required to revalue certain inventories and
incur associated charges, which could be material, in the statement of
operations.

We believe that the task of improving the yield of our first production line,
the efficiency of the overall manufacturing process and the performance of our
TMF products will be an ongoing activity. Additional modifications will be
required from time to time to improve the production capability of our
production line. Similarly, changes in the design of our products will be
required from time to time in order to improve product performance.

In June 1995, we established a joint venture with JCI (the "Joint Venture") to
develop high-volume manufacturing technology for TMF batteries, manufacture TMF
batteries for sale by both JCI and ourselves, and pursue hybrid electric vehicle
battery development opportunities for TMF batteries. In 1997, having
substantially completed the primary objective of developing the high-volume
manufacturing technology, the Joint Venture was terminated and we entered into a
new relationship with JCI. Under the new relationship, JCI and we are separately
developing TMF battery-manufacturing facilities. We granted royalty-bearing
licenses to JCI, certain of which are subject to minimum royalties and minimum
performance criteria. These licenses give JCI the sole and exclusive right to
sell TMF batteries for use as primary starting batteries in automobiles and
trucks until July 2001. We have also entered into a cross supply agreement with
JCI pursuant to which each of us has committed to supply the other with minimum
quantities of TMF battery products for several years.

We believe that our results of operations to date may not be indicative of
results in future periods. Future operating results may be affected by a wide
range of factors and may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As we transitioned in the second half of 1999 from primarily development
activities to manufacturing and sales activities, the classification of certain
functions have changed in our statement of operations. For example, activities
which were previously performed prior to the third quarter 1999 in support of
our research and development ("R&D") efforts (and therefore classified as R&D
expense) have now evolved to support our manufacturing effort and are classified
as cost of revenues. Additionally, because our production volume of batteries
and other products is not yet sufficient to allow absorption of the
manufacturing overhead, we have incurred a loss on gross margin, which can be
expected to continue until production volumes are at significantly higher
levels.

Revenues from product sales increased to $219,797 from $17,120 for the
three-months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Product sales
increased due to the introduction of SECURESTART(TM), the instant engine starter
product, in the second half of 1999.

R&D services revenues and royalties declined to $35,000 from $64,324 for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease is
due to revenues from a customer-funded product development program of $29,324
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999. This program was completed in
the first quarter 1999. The remaining amounts in this category ($35,000 in each
period) are from minimum royalties paid by Johnson Controls, who has licensed
our TMF technology for automotive applications.

Cost of revenues increased to $1,999,497 from $62,615 for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Certain production line
functions and associated expenses that were previously related to R&D activities
in the first quarter 1999 were involved in supporting the commercial manufacture
of the 1 Ah cell in the first quarter of


                                       8

2000. The 1 Ah cells produced in the first quarter 2000 were primarily used for
assembly into SECURESTART(TM) units, which were shipped to customers or are
classified at March 31, 2000 as inventory. Also, cost of revenues increased in
the 2000 period due to higher production volumes, which resulted in increases in
labor, supplies and equipment expenses as compared to the previous year. In
addition, first quarter 2000 production levels do not allow full absorption of
fixed manufacturing overhead expenses, and the unabsorbed portion is included in
cost of revenues in the current period.

R&D expenses decreased to $746,908 from $2,040,653 for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in 2000 was due to the
change in classification of certain production line functions and associated
expenses from R&D expenses to cost of revenues, as explained previously above.
Absent similar production line functions and associated expenses of $1,174,307
in the 1999 quarter that were properly classified as R&D expenses, the remaining
R&D expenses for product improvement and new product development were $866,346.
The decrease to $746,908 in the 2000 first quarter was primarily due to
reductions in staffing levels and related expenses in the 2000 period, as well
as non-recurring expenses incurred in the 1999 period relating to the
development of the SECURESTART(TM) unit.

General and administrative expenses increased to $1,629,224 for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2000, from $755,792 for the same period in the prior
year. Most of the increase in 2000 resulted from increases in legal fees,
compensation, recruiting and business insurance compared to the prior year.

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $996,438 for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2000, from $377,706 for the same period in the prior year. The
increases in 2000 were primarily due to increased staffing levels, as well as
advertising and promotional activities associated with the Company's new
SECURESTART(TM) products.

Interest income increased to $228,974 from $115,179 for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase was due to higher
average invested cash balances in 2000 than in 1999.

Interest expense decreased to $287,564 from $344,165 for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in 2000 was due to
lower average debt balances in the 2000 period than in the prior year period.

From our inception, we have financed our operations and met our capital
requirements primarily through private and public offerings of our equity
securities, raising net proceeds of approximately $86 million from sales of
these securities. Included in this amount are net proceeds of approximately
$33.9 million received from a combination of private and public offerings of
equity securities in May, July, November and December, 1999. In 1997 and 1998,
we received net proceeds of approximately $12.3 million from a loan agreement
with Transamerica Business Credit Corporation ("TBCC"). The remaining loan
balance was approximately $8.4 million as of March 31, 2000. At March 31, 2000,
our balances of cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities
totaled approximately $15.4 million, compared to approximately $22.6 million at
December 31, 1999.

We believe that our current balances of cash and cash equivalents, along with
an anticipated working capital financing based on accounts receivable and
inventory, would provide adequate capital resources to fund our operations and
working capital needs through the end of 2000. There can be no assurances that
working capital financing will be available, if at all, on terms favorable to
the Company. In addition, we will require substantial capital resources beyond
2000 for anticipated manufacturing capacity expansion, product development,
working capital and to fund operations until we achieve profitability.
Accordingly, we anticipate that we will need to secure equity financing in
2000. Our inability to obtain required capital when needed would have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition, as we could be required to reduce our levels of operations, delay
product development or other actions to diminish the amount of cash used in our
business.

YEAR 2000

We rely on software in our information systems and manufacturing equipment. Most
of this equipment and software was installed and written within the past three
years. The Company has completed an inventory and tested its critical control
systems, computers, and application software. Prior to December 31, 1999, we
tested and validated each of the internal systems, equipment and software. The
Company has found these to be compliant, has applied supplier fixes, or replaced
the equipment. The Company implemented processes to identify and evaluate the
Y2K status of newly acquired equipment, and evaluated supplier and customer Y2K
compliance.

To date, we have had no significant problems related to Year 2000 issues. We
believe the remaining risks of Year 2000 issues are primarily external, due to
the difficulty of validating key third parties' readiness for Year 2000. The
Company has sought confirmation of such compliance and seeks relationships that
are compliant. The Company maintains contingency plans for each of these key
relationships as they arise, such as second sourcing, purchasing additional
inventory, and creating joint contingency plans for Year 2000 situations with
each relationship.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable because the Company has only fixed rate debt and no derivatives.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

      ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings arising out of our
operations. In September 1999, Century Mfg. Co., a subsidiary of Pentair, Inc.,
filed a complaint against us in the United States District Court for the
District of Minnesota. Century, which manufactures a line of portable power and
jump-starting products, alleges among other things that we have misappropriated
Century's trade secrets and breached a confidentiality agreement in producing
and manufacturing SECURESTART(TM).

Century later filed a separate lawsuit alleging that the SECURESTART(TM) product
infringes a patent issued to Century in November 1999. That suit was
consolidated with the first action, and now all of Century's claims are pending
in the first action. We have answered Century's complaint and asserted
counterclaims for Century's misappropriation for our own trade secrets and
confidential information. We believe that Century's claims are without merit,
intend to defend against them vigorously, and intend to press vigorously our
counterclaims.
