                            (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

                            Notes to Financial Statements

                                   (Unaudited)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying balance sheets of Excelsior-Henderson Motorcycle 
Manufacturing Company (the "Company") as of September 30, 1997 and the 
statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 
1996 and 1997, and cumulative for the period from inception (December 22, 
1993) to September 30, 1997, and the statements of cash flows for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 and cumulative for the period from 
inception (December 22, 1993) to September 30, 1997, have been prepared by 
the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments 
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly 
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 
1997 and for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these 
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and 
notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the 
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 and the Company's Prospectus dated July 
23, 1997.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended 
September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results 
for the full fiscal year.

2.  NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:

Net loss per common share for all periods presented is computed using the 
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Shares reserved for 
warrants or stock options are not considered because the impact of the 
incremental shares is antidilutive.

3.  REVERSE STOCK SPLIT:

On May 21, 1997, the Company's board of directors approved a 2-for-3 reverse 
stock split of the Company's outstanding stock.  All share and per share data 
for all periods presented reflect the reverse stock split (previously 
disclosed).

4.  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING:

On July 29, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of 
4,000,000 shares of its Common Stock (the "Offering").  The net proceeds of 
$27,400,000, after deducting fees and expenses, will be used to fund 
development stage operating costs and expenses, investments in property and 
equipment and working capital.  If the 4,000,000 shares issued in the 
Offering had been outstanding as of January 1, 1997, the net loss per share 
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 would have been $.12 
and $.33 per share. Concurrent with the closing of the Offering, the Series A 
Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into shares of Common 
Stock.

5.  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128 
"Earnings per Share," which changes the way companies calculate their 
earnings per share (EPS).  SFAS No. 128 replaces primary EPS with basic EPS 
and fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing 
reported loss by the weighted average shares outstanding, excluding 
potentially dilutive securities while diluted EPS includes the

                                       7
<PAGE>

dilutive securities.  The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 128 in the 
fourth quarter of 1997, at which time, all prior period EPS data is to be 
restated.  Primary EPS, as reported, is the same as basic and diluted EPS for 
all periods presented because shares reserved for warrants or stock options 
are not considered in the weighted average common shares outstanding as the 
impact of the incremental shares is antidilutive.

6.  COMMITMENTS:

On April 21, 1997, the Company signed a construction agreement and a lease 
agreement with a real estate development company and commenced construction 
of a manufacturing and administrative facility with an estimated cost of 
$10,500,000, exclusive of equipment costs.  The project is being financed 
with $2,300,000 of tax increment financing bonds to be issued by the City of 
Belle Plaine, Minnesota, $5,750,000 (including a $750,000 deposit) of 
mortgaged-backed debt to be arranged by the developer with the balance of 
approximately $3,200,000 provided by the Company.  To finance repayment of 
the tax increment financing bonds, the Company has guaranteed the underlying 
real estate tax payments on the property.  The Company anticipates recording 
the transaction as a capital lease upon acceptance of the facility.  

The lease for the facility has an initial term of 20 years with two 
additional 10-year renewal options.  Rent for the first 20 years will be 
equal to the debt service on the $5,750,000 mortgaged-backed debt, using a 
20-year amortization, plus a 10% premium (escalating during the lease term to 
roughly offset inflation).  Rent for the 10-year renewal options is based on 
the greater of fair market value at the date of renewal or formula rent, as 
defined in the lease agreement.  The lease contains an option to purchase the 
facility at the five-year anniversary for $6,250,000, less any principal 
reduction in the $5,000,000 debt and application of the $750,000 deposit.  

In October 1997, the Company signed a construction agreement with a 
third-party vendor for the construction of the Company's paint and finishing 
facility.  The cost of the paint facility will be approximately $7,300,000.  
The Company paid 20% of the cost upon execution of the agreement and will 
make certain progress payments during construction and a final payment upon 
completion of the paint facility.

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

OVERVIEW

    The Company plans to manufacture, market and sell premium heavyweight 
cruiser and touring motorcycles with a brand that evokes an authentic 
American motorcycling heritage and lifestyle.*  The Company is in the 
development stage and its operations are subject to all of the risks inherent 
in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including the risk that 
full-scale operations may not occur.  The Company intends to commence mass 
production of its initial motorcycle, a heavyweight cruiser named the 
Excelsior-Henderson Super X (the "Super X") in late 1998 and does not 
anticipate having motorcycle sales until such time.*  As a result primarily 
of the operating expenses described below in "Results of Operations," the 
Company's deficit accumulated during the development stage was approximately 
$7.7 million at September 30, 1997. Historic spending levels are not 
indicative of anticipated future spending levels because the Company is 
entering a period in which it will increase spending on product research and 
development, marketing and dealer network development, and increase staffing 
and other general operating expenses.  For these reasons, the Company 
believes its expenses, losses, and deficit accumulated during the development 
stage will increase significantly before any material product sales are 
generated.
 
    The Company completed an initial public offering of 4,000,000 shares of 
its Common Stock on July 29, 1997, with net proceeds to the Company of 
$27.4 million, after deducting fees and expenses. 
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses 
increased to $621,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 
$352,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The increases were 
primarily due to staffing increases and increased product design and 
development costs.  
 
    MARKETING EXPENSES.  Marketing expenses increased to $629,000 for the 
three months ended September 30, 1997 from $170,000 for the three months 
ended September 30, 1996.  The increases were primarily due to staffing 
increases, increased advertising and promotion costs and dealer network 
development expenses.
 
    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses 
increased to $506,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 
$244,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The increases were 
primarily due to staffing increases and other general operating expenses.
 
    INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income increased to $298,000 for the three 
months ended September 30, 1997 from $25,000 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996.  The increase generally reflects interest earned on 
increased average levels of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments 
held by the Company resulting from the proceeds of the Company's initial 
public offering of its Common Stock.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses 
increased to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 
$918,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The increases were 
primarily due to staffing increases and increased product design and 
development costs.
 
    MARKETING EXPENSES.  Marketing expenses increased to $1.3 million for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $360,000 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996.  The increases were primarily due to staffing increases, 
increased advertising and promotion costs and dealer network development 
expenses.
 
    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses 
increased to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 
$634,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The increases were 
primarily due to staffing increases and other general operating expenses.
 
    INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income increased to $462,000 for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997 from $53,000 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996.  The increase generally reflects interest earned on 
increased average levels of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments 
held by the Company resulting from the proceeds of the Company's initial 
public offering of its Common Stock.
 
NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS
 
    In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 
amended, a change in equity ownership of greater than 50% of the Company 
within a three-year period results in an annual limitation on the Company's 
ability to utilize its net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards that accrued 
during the tax periods prior to the change in ownership.  As of December 31, 
1996, the Company had an NOL carryforward of approximately $3,228,000, which 
begins to expire in 2011.  The sale of shares in the Company's initial public 
offering of its Common Stock which closed on July 29, 1997 will not directly 
result in such limitation; however, the NOL carryforwards may become subject 
to such a limitation due to subsequent changes in the equity ownership of the 
Company.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    On July 29, 1997, the Company closed on the initial public offering of 
its Common Stock, with net proceeds to the Company of $27.4 million.  The 
Company will use the net proceeds of $27.4 million for funding research and 
development costs (including pre-production manufacturing and completion of 
the design, engineering and testing of the Super X); sales and marketing 
costs (including increased marketing activity prior to the commercial 
introduction of the Super X and dealer network development); capital 
expenditures (including completing and equipping the manufacturing and 
administrative facility, acquiring tooling and motorcycle components and 
supplies); and general and administrative costs. Based upon its current 
estimates, the Company believes that its available cash resources, including 
the proceeds received from the initial public offering of Common Stock, as 
well as the proceeds anticipated to be received from the Minnesota Department 
of Trade and Economic Development (see below), will be sufficient to fund the 
pre-production operations of the Company and the capital expenditures 
necessary to start production of the Super X.*  The Company may require 
additional fixed asset and working capital financing prior to commencement of 
production.*  Upon commencement of production, the Company will need to 
obtain substantial amounts of fixed asset and working capital financing.*  
However, if any of the anticipated sources of funds are not available, the 
Company will have to look to other means of financing.  In addition, if the 
Company's estimates of the amount of financing needed to commence production 
of the Super X are incorrect due to unanticipated additional costs of 
constructing and equipping the Company's manufacturing facility, 
unanticipated problems in the development of the Super X for production, 
increased labor costs, increased costs of motorcycle parts and raw materials, 
increased marketing and dealer network development expenses, increased rates 
of consumption of available cash resources, or other unanticipated events, 
then the Company may need additional equity or debt financing in excess of 
the proceeds of its recent initial public offering of Common Stock prior to 
or shortly after commencement of production of the Super X.

    On April 21, 1997, the Company signed a Construction Agreement and a 
Lease Agreement (the "Lease Agreement") with a real estate development 
company to commence construction of its approximately 160,000 square foot 
manufacturing and administrative facility, with an estimated cost of $10.5 
million, exclusive of equipment costs.  The project is being financed by the 
real estate development company with $2.3 million of tax increment financing 
bonds to be issued by the City of Belle Plaine, Minnesota, $5.75 million 
(including a $750,000 deposit) of mortgage-backed debt arranged by the 
developer and the balance of approximately $3.2 million was provided by the 
Company during April 1997.  To finance repayment of the tax increment 
financing, the Company has guaranteed the underlying real estate tax payments 
on the property.  The Company anticipates recording the transaction as a 
capital lease upon acceptance of the facility.

    The lease for the facility has an initial term of 20 years with two 
additional 10-year renewal options.  Rent for the first 20 years will be 
equal to the debt service on the $5.75 million mortgage-backed debt, using a 
20 year amortization, plus a 10 percent premium (escalating during the lease 
term to roughly offset inflation).  Rent for the 10 year renewal options is 
based on the greater of fair market value at the date of renewal or formula 
rent, as defined in the Lease Agreement.  The Lease Agreement contains an 
option to purchase the facility at the five year anniversary for $6.25 
million less any principal reduction in the $5.0 million debt (and 
application of the $750,000 deposit).

    In October 1997, the Company signed a construction agreement with a 
third-party vendor for the construction of the Company's paint and finishing 
facility. The cost of the paint facility will be approximately $7,300,000.  
The Company paid 20% of the cost upon execution of the agreement and will 
make certain progress payments during construction and a final payment upon 
completion of the paint facility.  

    In addition, the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development, 
through the Minnesota Agriculture and Economic Development Board, has offered 
to loan approximately $7.0 million for equipment financing through its Small 
Business Development Loan Program.  Although the relevant approvals for such 
financing have been obtained, the bonds for the financing have not yet been 
sold and there can be no assurance that such bonds will ever be sold.  If the 
bonds are not sold, then the Company may need to obtain the funds anticipated 
from such financing from other sources.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including 
those indicated by an asterisk above (some of which are summarized below), 
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor 
provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 
that involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ.  Factors 
that could cause actual results to differ include those identified below.  In 
addition, please refer to the section titled "Risk Factors" in the Company's 
Prospectus dated July 23, 1997 on file with the Commission for certain other 
information regarding the risks associated with the Company.

 -  THE COMPANY PLANS TO MANUFACTURE, MARKET AND SELL PREMIUM HEAVYWEIGHT 
    CRUISER AND TOURING MOTORCYCLES WITH A BRAND THAT EVOKES AN AUTHENTIC 
    AMERICAN MOTORCYCLING HERITAGE AND LIFESTYLE--The Company's success 
    depends upon market acceptance of its brand of products.  Market acceptance
    depends upon the ability of the Company to establish its intended brand 
    image and a reputation for high quality and to differentiate its brand of 
    products from its competitors.  There can be no assurance that the 
    Company's products will be perceived as being of high quality and 
    differentiated from such other products, or that the Company will be 
    successful in establishing its intended brand image.  

 -  THE COMPANY INTENDS TO COMMENCE MASS PRODUCTION OF THE SUPER X IN LATE 1998
    AND DOES NOT ANTICIPATE HAVING MOTORCYCLE SALES UNTIL SUCH TIME--Production
    of the Super X and any additional motorcycles the Company may produce is
    dependent upon acquisition, installation and successful operation of the
    motorcycle production equipment, engaging reliable suppliers to manufacture
    components for the Company's products, hiring additional engineering and
    manufacturing personnel and completing the design of the Super X for mass
    production.  Factors that may affect the successful completion of such
    items include problems in acquisition, installation and successful
    operation of the motorcycle production equipment, the inability of the
    Company to 

                                      11
<PAGE>

    locate competent suppliers or obtain adequate quantities of components 
    and supplies at reasonable costs, the inability of the Company to hire 
    additional qualified personnel and the inability of the Company's 
    engineering and manufacturing staff to design, engineer and produce the
    Super X.  In addition, for the Company to be successful, its products must
    be manufactured to meet high quality standards in production volumes. 
    Although the Company has produced prototypes of the Super X, it has never
    attempted to manufacture motorcycles in large quantities.  The transition
    to mass production will involve various risks and uncertainties that may
    not be apparent at this time and there can be no assurance that the Company
    will be able to successfully react to unanticipated difficulties.

         Sales of the Super X and any additional motorcycles the Company may
    produce are dependent on the Company establishing a dealer network.  The
    Company has executed agreements with 40 dealers as of November 14, 1997. 
    Prior to production, the Company will need to attract additional dealers to
    sell its brand of products.  There can be no assurance that the Company
    will be able to attract the number of dealers the Company may need or that
    such dealers will be successful in selling its brand of products.

         In addition, the Company will be required to support its dealers
    through, among other things, making floor plan financing available through
    third parties, continuing education about the Company's brand of products,
    supplying parts and accessories, and training repair personnel.  The
    Company does not have any history in such dealer support and there can be
    no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully support its
    dealer network.  If the Company is unable to provide such support, the
    Company may lose dealers and, consequently, distribution of its products
    would be adversely affected.

 -  BASED UPON ITS CURRENT ESTIMATES, THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT ITS AVAILABLE 
    CASH RESOURCES, INCLUDING THE PROCEEDS RECEIVED FROM THE RECENT INITIAL 
    PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK, AS WELL AS THE PROCEEDS ANTICIPATED TO BE
    RECEIVED FROM THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT,
    WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO FUND THE PRE-PRODUCTION OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY AND
    THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES NECESSARY TO START PRODUCTION OF THE SUPER X.--If
    the Company's estimates of the amount of financing needed to commence
    production of the Super X are incorrect due to unanticipated additional
    costs of constructing and equipping the Company's manufacturing facility,
    unanticipated problems in the development of the Super X for production,
    increased labor costs, increased costs of motorcycle parts and raw
    materials, increased marketing and dealer network development expenses,
    increased rates of consumption of available cash resources, the
    unavailability of commercial fixed asset and working capital financing, or
    other unanticipated events, then the Company may need additional equity or
    debt financing prior to or shortly after commencement of production of the
    Super X.
    
         Although the relevant approvals by the State of Minnesota to loan the
    Company $7.0 million for equipment financing have been obtained, such loan
    depends on the successful marketing and sale of bonds to fund the loan. 
    The State of Minnesota has not yet offered the bonds for sale and there can
    be no assurance that such bonds will ever be sold or that the Company will
    receive any equipment financing from the State of Minnesota.

 -  THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FIXED ASSET AND WORKING CAPITAL FINANCING
    PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF PRODUCTION; UPON COMMENCEMENT OF PRODUCTION, THE
    COMPANY WILL NEED TO OBTAIN SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF FIXED ASSET AND WORKING
    CAPITAL FINANCING--The Company has not sought, and does not expect to
    seek, any commitments for fixed asset or working capital financing until
    the Company approaches the commencement of production.  The availability
    and terms of any such fixed asset or working capital financing will depend
    on a number of credit market factors, including interest rates, liquidity
    and lending regulations, as well as the business prospects and financial
    condition of the Company.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

    (a)  SERIES A PREFERRED CONVERSION

         Upon the closing of the public offering of the Company's Common Stock
         on July 29, 1997, the Company's registered Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") converted into Common Stock at
         an exchange ratio of 1:1.  Following such conversion, the former
         holders of the Preferred Stock were no longer entitled to a preference
         in the event of a liquidation of the Company.

    (b)  See (a) above.

    (c)  Not applicable

    (d)  USE OF PROCEEDS

         On July 23, 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared
         effective the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No.
         333-27789) (the "Registration Statement") relating to the initial
         public offering of 4,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of its Common Stock
         at an initial public offering price of $7.50 per share for an
         aggregate offering price of $30,000,000.  The Company also registered
         an additional 600,000 shares of Common Stock at $7.50 per share for an
         aggregate offering price of $4,500,000 solely to cover over-allotments.
         On July 29, 1997, the Company completed the offering of
         the 4,000,000 Shares, with gross proceeds of $30,000,000 and net
         proceeds to the Company of $27,400,000.  The managing underwriters of
         the offering were John G. Kinnard and Company, Incorporated and
         Miller, Johnson & Kuehn, Incorporated.  The underwriters did not
         exercise the option to purchase the additional 600,000 shares
         registered to cover over-allotments.  

         The Company incurred the following actual expenses in connection with
         the issuance and distribution of the Shares as discussed above:

         Underwriting discounts
           commissions                 $2,100,000
         Other offering expenses          500,000
                                       ----------
           Total expenses              $2,600,000
                                       ----------
                                       ----------

         No direct or indirect payments of the proceeds received from the
         offering of the Shares were made to directors, officers, stockholders
         or affiliates of the Company.

         From the closing of the offering of the Shares to September 30, 1997,
         the Company had not used any of the proceeds from the sale of the
         Shares.  Pending such use, the Company has invested the proceeds in
         short-term investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.
