                         (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 June 30, 1997 and the statements of
operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, 
and cumulative for the period from inception (December 22, 1993) to June 30, 
1997, and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 
and 1997 and cumulative for the period from inception (December 22, 1993) to 
June 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 June 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 months and six months 
ended June 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 
the conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, warrants or stock 
options are not considered because the impact of the incremental shares is 
antidilutive.

3.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

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 completion and 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. 

4.   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 data have 
been restated for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split.

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

                                       7
<PAGE>

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 dilutive 
securities.  The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 128 in 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 the conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, warrants 
or stock options are not considered in the weighted average common shares 
outstanding as the impact of the incremental shares is antidilutive.

6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

On July 23, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of 
4,000,000 shares of its Common Stock (the "Offering").  The net proceeds of 
approximately $27,600,000, 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 months and six months ended June 30, 1997 would have been $.11 
and $.21 per share.

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 $6.2 million 
at June 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses 
increased to $436,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $328,000 
for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The increases were primarily due 
to staffing increases and increased product design and development costs. 

    MARKETING EXPENSES.  Marketing expenses increased to $380,000 for the 
three months ended June 30, 1997 from $95,000 for the three months ended June 
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 $348,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $222,000 
for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The increases were primarily due 
to staffing increases and other general operating expenses.

    INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income increased to $73,000 for the three 
months ended June 30, 1997 from $10,000 for the three months ended June 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 sale of the Company's Preferred 
Stock during 1996.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND JUNE 30, 1996

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses 
increased to $913,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $567,000 
for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increases were primarily due to 
staffing increases and increased product design and development costs.

    MARKETING EXPENSES.  Marketing expenses increased to $663,000 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 from $190,000 for the six months ended June 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 $666,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $390,000 
for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increases were primarily due to 
staffing increases and other general operating expenses.

    INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income increased to $163,000 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 from $28,000 for the six months ended June 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 sale of the Company's Preferred 
Stock during 1996.

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

    In 1996, the Company raised approximately $10.3 million in net proceeds 
from the sale of its Preferred Stock.  Of such proceeds, as of June 30, 1997, 
$2.4 million had been used to fund development stage operating costs, $3.5 
million had been used for investment in property and equipment (including 
$3.2 million as the Company's equity contribution to its manufacturing and 
administrative facility) and the balance remained available in cash, cash 
equivalents and short-term investments.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had 
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $4.1 million and working 
capital of $3.5 million.  Prior to production of the Super X, the Company has 
planned capital expenditures of an aggregate of $10.5 million (including the 
$3.2 million equity contribution referred to above) to construct its new 
manufacturing and administrative facility and $18.0 million to equip its 
facility.

    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 completion and 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 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.

    On July 29, 1997, the Company closed on its initial public offering of 
its Common Stock, with net proceeds to the Company of $27.6 million.  The 
Company will use the net proceeds of $27.6 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 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.*  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.

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 completing the construction of the Company's
    manufacturing facility, establishing a motorcycle production line, 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 delays in the construction of
    the Company's manufacturing and administrative facility, problems in

                                       11
<PAGE>

    establishing the motorcycle production line, the inability of the Company
    to 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 not had a dealer network to date.  Prior to production, the
    Company will need to attract successful 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.
