ITEM 1.                   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
                          -----------------------

INTRODUCTION
- ------------
Turbodyne Technologies Inc. (the "Company") is a Canadian federal
corporation engaged in the following businesses through its U.S.
subsidiaries:

     (A)  the manufacture of aluminum cast automotive products, including
          engine components and speciality wheels (the "Pacific Baja
          Business"); and

     (B)  the development of products to enhance performance and reduce
          emissions of internal combustion engines (the "Turbodyne
          Business").

COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY CORPORATE BACKGROUND
- ------------------------------------------
The Company was incorporated under the COMPANY ACT (British Columbia) on
May 18, 1983, under the name "Dundee Resources Corp.", by registration of
its Memorandum and Articles.  The name of the Company was changed from
"Dundee Resources Corp." to "Clear View Ventures Inc." on January 20, 1993
and from "Clear View Ventures Inc." to "Turbodyne Technologies Inc." on
April 28, 1994.  The Company has continued from British Columbia to the
Canadian federal jurisdiction under the CANADA BUSINESS CORPORATIONS ACT by
the filing of Articles of Continuation.  The continuation was effective
December 3, 1996.

The address of the head office of the Company is Suite 510, 1090 West
Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2N7.  The address of the
registered and records office of the Company is 12th Floor, 1190 Hornby
Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z 2L3.

The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Turbodyne Systems, Inc.
("Turbodyne Systems") and Pacific Baja Light Metals Corp. ("Pacific Baja
Light Metals").

Turbodyne Systems was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of
Nevada, USA, on May 21, 1993.  The address of the head office of Turbodyne
Systems, Inc.  is  6155 Carpinteria Avenue, Carpinteria, California, 93013.

Pacific Baja Light Metals was incorporated as "Pacific Baja Acquisition
Corp."  pursuant to the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, on April 15,
1996.   Pacific Baja Acquisition Corp. merged with Pacific Baja Light
Metals Holding Inc. on September 5, 1996 to form Pacific Baja Light Metals. 
The address of the head office of Pacific Baja Light Metals is 15300 Valley
View, La Mirada, California.  Pacific Baja Light Metals has two wholly
owned California subsidiaries, Optima Wheel Inc. ("Optima Wheel") and Baja
Pacific Light Metals Inc. ("Baja Pacific"), and a wholly owned Mexican
subsidiary, Baja Oriente S.A. de C.V. ("Baja Oriente").

During the period from its incorporation on May 18, 1983 until July of
1993, when it commenced funding the development of the Turbodyne
Technology, as described herein, the Company was engaged in the business of
mineral exploration.  The Company divested itself of any mineral properties
prior to the acquisition of the Turbodyne Technology and no longer holds
any interest in any mineral properties and does not carry on mineral
exploration.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND AND PRODUCT
- -------------------------------

The Pacific Baja Business is carried on through Pacific Baja Light Metals
from its head office in La Mirada, California.  The Turbodyne Business is
carried on through Turbodyne Systems from its head office in Carpinteria,
California.  The Pacific Baja Business and the Turbodyne Business are
summarized below.

<PAGE>

1.   PACIFIC BAJA BUSINESS
     ---------------------

Pacific Baja Light Metals is an established manufacturer of aluminum cast
products primarily for the automotive industry.  Pacific Baja Light Metals
manufactures turbocharger and compressor housings for Original Equipment
Manufacturers in the automotive industry ("OEMs") and aluminum wheels for
the automotive aftermarket.  Pacific Baja Light Metals also manufactures on
a contract basis, the housings for the Turbodyne products manufactured by
Turbodyne Systems, as discussed below in Section 2.2 of this Item 1 (the
"Turbodyne Products").

1.1  ACQUISITION OF PACIFIC BAJA LIGHT METALS BY THE COMPANY
     -------------------------------------------------------

The Company acquired Pacific Baja effective July 2, 1996 pursuant to an
acquisition agreement between the Company, Pacific Baja Light Metals
Holding, Inc. ("Pacific Baja") and the principal shareholders of Pacific
Baja (the "Acquisition Agreement").  The Company acquired all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Pacific Baja for total consideration consisting
of  a cash payment of US $12,000,670 and the issue of 3,076,923 common
shares of the Company.  

The principal reason for the acquisition was to form an alliance with a
manufacturer with a proven track record of volume manufacturing of quality
auto parts, particularly in the turbocharger field.   The Turbodyne
Products are comprised of precision automotive parts, including cast
aluminum components manufactured by Pacific Baja.  Through the acquisition
of Pacific Baja, the Company acquired a proven manufacturer for its
Turbodyne Products.  Management viewed the acquisition as a means to
establish the credibility of the Company with potential OEMs as a quality
manufacturer of automotive parts.   In addition, the acquisition brought to
the Company personnel experienced in manufacturing and who have contacts
with turbocharger manufacturers and potential customers for the Turbodyne
Products.

1.2  EXISTING PRODUCTS
     -----------------

Pacific Baja Light Metals manufactures and markets permanent mold and sand
aluminum castings, both machined and raw, for the automotive aftermarket as
well as automotive and industrial OEM's.  Pacific Baja Light Metals has
three operating units: Optima Wheel; Baja Oriente; and Baja Pacific.  

Pacific Baja Light Metals' present product lines and business segments
include the following:

(a)  CUSTOM WHEELS
     -------------

Pacific Baja Light Metals, through its Optima Wheel operating unit,
manufactures and markets styled aluminum road wheels for the automotive
aftermarket. Products consist of one-piece aluminum wheels for passenger
cars, light trucks, and motorcycles, as well as two-piece (steel outer,
aluminum center) wheels for the passenger car replacement wheel market. 
Sixty percent (60%) of Pacific Baja Light Metals' custom wheel sales are
private label brands produced  for other wheel manufacturers and
distributors with the remaining forty percent (40%) marketed under the
'Optima Wheels' brand name to approximately 25 wholesale distributors
located throughout the United States.   As Optima Wheel is not a dominant
aftermarket supplier of aluminum custom wheels and does not expend
significant efforts in connection with marketing and sales of its custom
wheels, there is a risk that revenues from these products will decline as
existing and new companies obtain additional market share.  Management
intends to minimize the risk of revenue loss to the Company as a whole by
focusing its efforts to increase revenues in the non-wheel, industrial
products areas.

(b)  NON-WHEEL ALUMINUM COMPONENTS
     -----------------------------

Pacific Baja Light Metals, through Baja Oriente's facility located in
Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, casts and machines permanent mold
aluminum parts for the Garrett division of AlliedSignal Automotive, Inc. 
("AlliedSignal"), which manufactures turbo-charging systems for Class 8
trucks.  Pursuant to its agreement with AlliedSignal,  Pacific Baja Light
Metals is the sole source to AlliedSignal for air-to-air heat exchange
manifolds and is one of two aluminum 

<PAGE>

foundries manufacturing compressor housings, pedestals, and other aluminum
components for AlliedSignal.  Pacific Baja Light Metals manufactures a
ready-to-assemble product for AlliedSignal that is shipped directly to its
plant in Mexicali, Mexico.  The supply agreement between AlliedSignal and
Pacific Baja Light Metals commenced on January 1, 1994 for an initial three
year term.  Pursuant to a letter agreement, Pacific Baja Light Metals and
AlliedSignal have agreed to renew the supply agreement for an additional
three year term commencing on January 1, 1997 and expiring on December 31,
1999. 

Pacific Baja Light Metals, through its Baja Pacific operating unit,
manufactures, short-run sand and permanent mold aluminum castings for
automotive, aerospace, and other industrial applications.  Products
manufactured include turbine fan blades for maritime vessels, rotors for
fan blades, and short production runs for existing customers. 

1.3  NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
     -----------------------

Pacific Baja Light Metals develops new products in order to respond to
customer requests and to diversify its product lines.  Pacific Baja's
engineering team has on-site design and development capabilities that
enable it to design products utilizing computer aided design and computer
aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) drawings.  Pacific Baja Light Metals' new
product development activities among its various product lines are as
follows:

(a)  CUSTOM WHEELS
     -------------

Pacific Baja Light Metals does not design new and unproven custom aluminum
road wheels.  Pacific Baja Light Metals solicits market information from
its customers and attends auto shows to determine which styles are popular,
and uses its CAD/CAM system to make new molds and manufacture those wheels. 
Pacific Baja Light Metals typically manufactures approximately ten new
wheel products annually, however based on many factors, including but not
limited to, technological developments and customer demands, Pacific Baja
Light Metals may change the number of new wheels produced annually.

(b)  NON-WHEEL ALUMINUM COMPONENTS
     -----------------------------

Pacific Baja has implemented a strategy to develop relationships with OEMs
in addition to AlliedSignal in the automotive industry to provide new 
non-wheel aluminum components in order to expand its product line.  
New products developed by Pacific Baja Light Metals start as short-run 
prototypes at the La Mirada facility.  Once these products are accepted 
by the OEM, production begins at the higher volume foundry in Ensenada, Mexico.

There can be no assurance that Pacific Baja Light Metals will be successful
in establishing relationships with OEMs or if established that Pacific Baja
Light Metals will develop new products or that any new products developed
will be commercially accepted or profitable to Pacific Baja Light Metals. 
See "Cautionary Statements and Risk Factors -- Technological Changes" and
"Cautionary Statements and Risk Factors -- Customer Preferences."

1.4  MANUFACTURING
     -------------

Pacific Baja Light Metals manufactures products such as manifolds,
compressor housings, and pedestals at its Ensenada foundry, performs its
short-run foundry and prototype production in La Mirada, and manufactures
aluminum cast custom wheels at both locations.  The La Mirada and Ensenada
foundries perform manufacturing activities ranging from casting to heat
treating, powder painting (Ensenada only), finished machining, and
packaging.

(a)  ENSENADA FOUNDRY
     ----------------

Pacific Baja Light Metals operates an aluminum permanent mold foundry at
Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, which occupies approximately 120,000
square feet.  The Ensenada facility serves as Pacific Baja Light Metals'
primary long run, high volume casting operation, where custom wheels are
cast, heat treated, painted, machined to a semi-finished state, and shipped
to Pacific Baja Light Metals' La Mirada facility. The Ensenada facility
also houses Pacific Baja Light Metals' Baja Pacific operating unit, which
manufactures aluminum components under contract for AlliedSignal, 

<PAGE>

casts, machines, and ships manifolds directly to AlliedSignal's assembly
plant in Mexicali, Mexico and casts, machines and ships compressor housings
and pedestals to their Torrance, California facility.  As of December 31,
1996 Pacific Baja Light Metals employed approximately 325 persons at its
Ensenada foundry with two production shifts and one maintenance shift
operating five and one half days a week.

(b)  LA MIRADA FOUNDRY
     -----------------

Pacific Baja Light Metals operates a sand and permanent mold 95,000 square
foot foundry facility at La Mirada, California.  In addition, Pacific
Baja Light Metals's corporate offices and distributing facility are located
in the La Mirada building.  The La Mirada facility receives semi-finished
custom wheels, shipped from the Ensenada foundry, which are finished,
packaged, and prepared for shipment to Pacific Baja Light Metals private
label customers and Optima Wheel distributors.  The La Mirada facility also
facilitates short-run and prototype aluminum casting production for
customers and serves as Pacific Baja Light Metals' 'feeder' operation for
longer run production in Ensenada, Mexico.  As of December 31, 1996,
Pacific Baja Light Metals employed approximately 100 persons at its La
Mirada facility working two shifts, five days a week.

Pacific Baja Light Metals outsources the chrome plating and polishing of
its custom wheels due to the presence of hazardous materials associated
with this process and the resulting risk of environmental liabilities.

1.5  SUPPLIERS
     ---------

The raw materials used in Pacific Baja Light Metals' production of cast
aluminum custom wheels for the automotive aftermarket and cast aluminum
parts for automotive and industrial OEMs consist primarily of aluminum and
sand.  Aluminum ingots are purchased from aluminum suppliers such as TST
Inc., Vista Corporation, and Noranda Company and are melted, poured into
sand and/or permanent mold castings, heat treated, machined, and finished
into the final product.  Aluminum purchases are based predominantly on
price and typically net 60 days.  Pacific Baja Light Metals does not expect
any disruption in its ability to obtain aluminum in the foreseeable future.


Sand is used in manufacturing the cores that are placed within permanent
molds prior to pouring aluminum and is used in sand aluminum castings
produced by Pacific Baja Light Metals.  Pacific Baja Light Metals purchases
approximately 90% of its sand from one supplier.  However, in the event
this supplier is unable to meet the needs of Pacific Baja Light Metals, the
Company does not anticipate any significant additional cost or time delays
to procure sand from another party.

Pacific Baja Light Metals' two-piece composite steel wheels are supplied by
American Wheel, a division of Titan Wheel Corporation, and are fitted with
aluminum centers manufactured at Pacific Baja Light Metals' facility in
Ensenada, Mexico.  Two-piece composite custom wheels comprise approximately
15% of total custom wheel revenues.

Pacific Baja Light Metals' facility in Ensenada, Mexico is supplied with
raw materials which are purchased in, and delivered from, the United
States.  This arrangement is intended to insulate Pacific Baja Light Metals
from adverse foreign exchange fluctuations.

1.6  MANAGEMENT
     ----------

Key personnel of Pacific Baja Light Metals are summarized as follows:

(a)  MICHAEL J. JOYCE, PRESIDENT
     ---------------------------

Mr. Joyce, 52, graduated from Kent State University with a BA in Physics
and from Ohio State University with an MBA and has over 25 years of
manufacturing and management experience.  He has 15 years of experience in 
the aluminum casting and machining industry as a supplier to both
automotive OEM's and aftermarket companies. Prior 

<PAGE>

to joining Pacific Baja Light Metals in 1990, Mr. Joyce was Group President
of Western Wheel Corporation, a major automotive supplier for 13 years.

(b)  MR. LENNART RENBERG, EXCLUSIVE CONSULTANT
     -----------------------------------------

Mr. Renberg, 52, possesses over 30 years experience in both the 'tool and
die' industry as well as the aluminum foundry industry.  Mr. Renberg owned
and operated a tool and die business and an aluminum foundry in the Los
Angeles area.  Mr. Renberg's services are provided pursuant to a consulting
agreement between Lykar Specialties Inc. and Pacific Baja Light Metals
pursuant to which Lykar Specialties Inc. provides the consulting services
of Mr. Renberg to Pacific Baja Light Metals.  The consultant agreement
obligates  Lykar Specialties Inc. to provide the full-time services of Mr.
Renberg on a day to day basis in connection with management of the
operations of Pacific Baja Light Metals for a three year term commencing
September 5, 1996.

(c)  MR. THOMAS ZASTERA, VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE
     ---------------------------------------------

Mr. Zastera, 58, earned a BS degree in Business Administration from the
University of Nebraska.  Mr. Zastera worked as controller for several
foundry related companies, including 15 years with Western Wheel
Corporation as National Credit Manager from 1979 to 1990.  He joined
Pacific Baja Light Metals in 1990.

The involvement of the Company's directors and officers in the day to day
operations of Pacific Baja Light Metals is limited to fundamental decisions
materially affecting the business of Pacific Baja Light Metals and to
discussions as to the production by Pacific Baja Light Metals of parts for
the Turbodyne Products.  Management of Pacific Baja Light Metals reports to
the Company as to the financial and operational conditions of the Pacific
Baja Business on a monthly basis and as otherwise required.  Day to day
management of the Pacific Baja Business is the responsibility of management
of Pacific Baja Light Metals.

1.7  BAJA ORIENTE
     ------------

Baja Oriente is incorporated under Mexican law and is 100% beneficially
owned by Pacific Baja Light Metals. Ownership of Baja Oriente by its U.S.
parent is permitted under an exemption to Mexican foreign investment law
for "maquiladora" ventures.  Baja Oriente operates as a maquiladora
pursuant to a maquiladora license granted by the Mexican Ministry of
Commerce.  As a maquiladora, Baja Oriente is able to import raw material
from the U.S. and export final products to Pacific Baja Light Metals in the
U.S. without being subject to import and export duties levied under Mexican
Federal Customs law.  Baja Oriente purchases raw materials and receives
payment for its products in U.S. currency and accordingly is insulated from
fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Mexican peso in respect of its
purchases of raw materials and sales revenues.  

1.8  COMPETITION
     -----------

Pacific Baja Light Metals faces significant competition in both the cast
aluminum wheels automotive aftermarket industry and cast aluminum product
industry.  In general, the barriers to entry to the aluminum foundry
business are not prohibitive as capital costs are less than those
associated with steel mills in large part because foundry operations
incorporate little high technology.  The competition in each industry
segment is summarized as follows:

(a)  CAST ALUMINUM WHEELS FOR AUTOMOTIVE AFTERMARKET
     -----------------------------------------------

Pacific Baja Light Metals faces competition in the United States from
approximately 85 wheel companies of which approximately one-third have
manufacturing capability. Pacific Baja Light Metals limits its sales of
aftermarket wheels to the North American automotive market.

<PAGE>

(b)  CAST ALUMINUM PRODUCTS FOR OEM'S
     --------------------------------

Pacific Baja Light Metals faces competition in the cast aluminum product
manufacturing industry from a large number of competitors which have
greater revenues and financial resources than Pacific Baja Light Metals.

Barriers to entry for the cast aluminum product industry for automotive and
industrial OEMs are significantly higher than the barriers to entry for
cast aluminum wheels as OEMs impose high standards of quality control.

The Mexican manufacturing facility of Pacific Baja Light Metals operated by
Baja Oriente provides Pacific Baja Light Metals with a cost advantage over
competitors with operations in the U.S.

The sales of the cast aluminum products to OEMs by Pacific Baja Light
Metals is limited to OEMs operating within the United States.

1.9  CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS
     --------------------------------------

Several of the matters discussed in this document contain forward looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Factors associated with
the forward looking statements which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected in the statements appear below.  In
addition to the other information contained in this document, readers
should carefully consider the following cautionary statements and risk
factors.

COMPETITION.  The industry in which Pacific Baja Light Metals operates is
highly competitive and subject to technological change.  Certain existing
and potential competitors of Pacific Baja Light Metals have greater
financial, marketing and other resources than Pacific Baja Light Metals. 
Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins and
loss of market share, all of which could materially adversely effect
Pacific Baja Light Metals.

LIMITED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS.  A large proportion of Pacific Baja Light
Metals' sales are concentrated in a small number of major customers.  Loss
of any major customer, or a significant decrease in product shipment to, or
an inability to collect amounts due from, or any deterioration of the
relationship with, or any change in the financial circumstances of, any of
these customers could have an adverse effect on Pacific Baja Light Metals' 
business and operating results. 

CUSTOMER PREFERENCES.  Some of Pacific Baja Light Metals' products are
subject to short term changes in consumer preferences and demands.  Changes
in consumer preferences could render existing products or products under
development unmarketable which could adversely effect the sales and results
of operations of Pacific Baja Light Metals.

INTERNATIONAL RISKS.  A significant amount of Pacific Baja Light Metals'
production takes place at the Ensenada facility and is imported into the
United States under favorable trade agreements negotiated between the
governments of the United States and Mexico.  Changes in these trade
arrangements and in North American trade agreements generally could
adversely affect the production costs and profitability of Pacific Baja
Light Metals.  In addition, changes in the foreign exchange rates for
Mexican Peso's and US Dollars or changes in economic conditions in Mexico
could adversely affect certain operating costs and the results of
operations of Pacific Baja Light Metals.

RAW MATERIALS.  Pacific Baja Light Metals buys the raw aluminum material
for its products at market prices.  Changes in demand and price of aluminum
could affect Pacific Baja Light Metals' ability to deliver products
pursuant to its contractual commitments and could materially adversely
effect results of operations.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES.  Technological changes in aluminum casting and
machining technology could affect Pacific Baja Light Metals's
competitiveness or require Pacific Baja Light Metals to make significant
expenditures on new plant and equipment all of which could adversely affect
Pacific Baja Light Metals' operating costs and results of operations. 
There can be no assurance that in the event of technological changes,
Pacific Baja Light Metals will remain competitive.

<PAGE>


DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.  Pacific Baja Light Metals is dependent upon
the efforts and commitment of Michael Joyce and Lennart Renberg.  The loss
of the services of either Mr. Joyce or Mr. Renberg could adversely impact
on the business of Pacific Baja Light Metals.


2.   TURBODYNE BUSINESS
     ------------------

Turbodyne Systems develops products to enhance performance and reduce
emissions of internal combustion engines.  The Turbodyne Technology is
designed to optimize air flow to internal combustion engines resulting in
efficient fuel combustion in both diesel and gasoline engines.
 
2.1  ACQUISITION OF THE TURBODYNE SYSTEMS
     ------------------------------------

Turbodyne Systems was acquired by the Company pursuant to an agreement
between the Company and Edward M. Halimi dated July 15, 1993 and amended by
amendment agreements dated October 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993.  The
Company issued 1,000,000 common shares of the Company to Edward M. Halimi
in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Turbodyne
Systems.  This transaction is characterized as a reverse takeover
transaction and was effected in accordance with the policies of the
Vancouver Stock Exchange.

Prior to the acquisition by the Company, Turbodyne Systems acquired the
Turbodyne Technology from Edward M. Halimi, a director, in consideration of
the issue to Mr. Halimi of 100 common shares of Turbodyne Systems, being
all of the issued and outstanding shares of Turbodyne Systems. 

2.2  PRODUCTS
     --------

Turbodyne Systems has developed three principal products employing the
Turbodyne Technology more particularly described as follows:

(a)  TURBODYNE SYSTEM
     ----------------

The Turbodyne System is an air flow enhancement product designed to improve
the performance of internal combustion engines by increasing air flow to
the cylinders.  As a result of increased air flow, more efficient
combustion takes place within the cylinders resulting in increased power
for the same amount of fuel and reduction of engine emissions.

In order for combustion to take place in an internal combustion engine,
both oxygen and fuel must be present within the combustion chamber
(cylinder).  Typically, the vacuum created by the action of the piston
causes air to be sucked into the engine through the carburetor.  The fuel
is supplied to the cylinder under pressure through the action of the fuel
pump and fuel injectors.  While engineers attempt to design engines so that
optimal combustion occurs, the variation in the air fuel ratio which occurs
as a result of the difficulty in controlling air intake pressure results in
intervals of inefficient combustion, especially during rapid acceleration
or deceleration and on cold start up.  These variations in air fuel ratios
result in lack of or inconsistent engine power, fuel wastage and emissions. 
The two principal attempts to solve this problem are superchargers and
turbocharger.  A supercharger is essentially an air compressor which is
driven by the engine and supplies positive air intake pressure to the
cylinder through the carburetor.  Although superchargers solve most of the
air fuel ratio problems they have become unpopular because they are
expensive, rob engine power and increase fuel consumption.  Turbocharger
perform the same function as superchargers by delivering positive air
intake pressure through the carburetor to the cylinders.  Unlike
superchargers, turbocharger are driven through the pressure of exhaust
gases exiting the engine.  Although turbocharger solve many of the power
and fuel consumption problems of superchargers they are designed to work
efficiently at relatively high speeds.  Until the pressure of exhaust gases
spins the turbine blades of the turbocharger above relatively high speeds,
there is insufficient air flow to the engine causing the engine to burn a
fuel rich mixture.  This results in the phenomenon known as turbo lag. 
Turbo lag occurs during the period from initial acceleration to the time
when the turbine blades spin at full boost (30,000 + RPM).  The inefficient
operation of the engine during the turbo lag period 

<PAGE>

presents safety problems due to lurches in the acceleration phase of the
driving cycle.  The inefficient operation of the engine during the turbo
lag period increases fuel consumption and maintenance problems and causes
an increase in emissions due to the incorrect air fuel ratio.  Although
turbocharger solve air fuel ratio problems during peak operating periods,
they actually exacerbate the problems during the turbo lag period.

The Turbodyne System is an add on device for turbocharged engines which
uses an electric motor to drive the turbine and provide positive intake
pressure through the carburetor during the turbo lag period.  

The Turbodyne System increases the speed of the turbocharger when exhaust
gases are insufficient to maintain appropriate turbocharger speed. The
Turbodyne System incorporates brushless electric motors and clutch designs 
that eliminate wear problems.  The brushless motor and an electronic
controller convert the automotive D.C. power into a three phase power
supply and feed-back circuit.  The motor is integrated as part of an air-
duct which is attached to the air intake port of a turbocharger. 
Rotational power is transmitted through an automatic Bendix type full
disconnecting clutch with a conical clutch interface.  When the electric
motor is engaged and the shaft rotates, the clutch assembly engages the
motor with the turbocharger rotor.  Upon acceleration of the clutch and
rotor assembly, radial load is entered using a clutch piloting bore.  The
motor is activated by remote sensors that monitor the demand for power and
turbo boost.

The earliest models of the Turbodyne System were developed primarily for
the purpose of overcoming turbo lag, modulating power delivery and avoiding
sudden power surges which may cause accidents in turbocharged vehicles. 
The ability of the Turbodyne System to reduce emissions was discovered
during the development of the Turbodyne System when it was observed that
vehicles equipped with the system did not generate customary smoke during
acceleration.  The absence of smoke results from the fact that turbocharger
equipped engines are calibrated to deliver fuel to the engine based on
optimal air flow that occurs when the turbocharger is running at 30,000+
rpms.  During the turbo-lag period the fuel to air ratio is too rich
resulting in inefficient combustion, excessive smoke, particulate matter
emissions and wasted fuel.  Initial independent laboratory results to date
indicate that the Turbodyne System reduces fuel consumption and emissions
by providing optimal air fuel ratio for combustion during acceleration. 
More efficient combustion also results in better power delivery and
elimination of turbolag.

Management of Turbodyne Systems views the Turbodyne System as a prototype
product which was fundamental in establishing the technical viability of
the Turbodyne products.  The technology employed in the Turbodyne System
has been incorporated into the Turbopac and Dynacharger products
subsequently developed by Turbodyne Systems, as discussed below. The
Company believes that the technology employed in the Turbopac and
Dynacharger products supersedes the Turbodyne System for a majority of
applications in the automotive industry.  There may remain limited
applications within the automotive industry and general applications
outside the automotive industry where the Turbodyne System may be
commercially employed.

(b)  TURBOPAC
     --------

Turbopac applies technology similar to the Turbodyne System to make
combustion more efficient in both turbocharged and non-turbocharged
gasoline and diesel engines by optimizing the air to fuel ratio.   The
Turbopac products are designed to provide an air boost into the engine in-
take manifold during the acceleration phase. Testing to date indicates that
Turbopac extends the benefits of the Turbodyne System of increased engine
power, reduced fuel consumption and reduced emissions to non-turbocharged
vehicles.    Turbopac employs a high speed, electronically controlled
brushless electric motor which runs continuously once the engine has
started, providing positive air intake pressure to optimize the air to fuel
ratio.  Turbopac essentially serves as an electronic supercharger. 
Turbopac can also be installed on turbocharger equipped engines.  Unlike
the Turbodyne System, Turbopac can be installed without the need for
precision machining of a turbocharger.  The Company believes that the most 
significant aspect of Turbopac is that it allows Turbodyne Systems to
target much larger international markets because of its ability to be
installed on non-turbocharged engines.

Turbodyne Systems plans to design and produce three separate Turbopac
models which may be installed on both turbocharged and non-turbocharged
engines:

<PAGE>

     (1)  the Turbopac 1200 model for naturally aspirated (ie. carburetted)
          two-cycle gasoline engines installed in motorcycles, water-ski
          jets and snowmobiles;

     (2)  the Turbopac 1500 model for cars, performance vehicles and light
          trucks with either fuel injected or naturally aspirated gasoline
          engines and with displacements up to 3.5 litres;

     (3)  the 2200 Turbopac model for cars, performance vehicles and light
          trucks with either fuel injected or carburetted engines with
          displacements greater than 3.5 litres;

     (4)  the Turbopac 2500 model for heavy duty trucks and buses for
          either fuel injected or naturally aspirated diesel engines.

Turbodyne Systems has completed development and commenced production of the
1500 Turbopac model.  Development of each of the 1200 Turbopac, 2200
Turbopac and the 2500 Turbopac models is in progress.  Due to unanticipated
production delays, production of the 1200 Turbopac model initially intended
to commence in June, 1997 currently is scheduled to commence by the end of
September, 1997.  Production of the 2200 Turbopac also is anticipated to
commence in September, 1997 and production of the 2500 Turbopac model is
anticipated to commence in December 1997.
            
(c)  DYNACHARGER
     -----------

The Dynacharger is Turbodyne Systems's newest product.  It is essentially
the Company's Turbopac product incorporated into a turbocharger. 
Dynacharger was developed primarily as a result of feedback from
evaluations conducted by potential customers who indicated that they would
prefer to see the Turbodyne Technology built into a turbocharger rather
than provided by an additional external component.  Its principal
advantages over the Turbodyne System attached to a turbocharger are in
cost, weight and space economies.  Operation of the Dynacharger is similar
to the Turbodyne System, except that the electric motor is part of the
internal design of the turbocharger and does not require a clutch to attach
it to the turbocharger's rotating assembly.  The Dynacharger can be
interchangeable with an original equipment turbocharger, thus making it
appropriate for sale to both the original equipment manufacturer's market
and the after market.   Turbocharger incorporating the Dynacharger products
can be installed on both fuel injected and naturally aspirated (I.E.,
carburetted) diesel and gasoline engines.

Turbodyne Systems also has designed a product described as a Motor-Assisted
Variable Geometry Turbocharging System ("Motoassist") which is a
Dynacharger with a valve system to concentrate exhaust gases resulting in
faster turbine acceleration.

2.3  STATUS OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
     -----------------------------

The Turbodyne System, 1200 Turbopac, 2200 Turbopac and Dynacharger products
are not yet commercially produced.  Turbodyne Systems has commenced
preliminary commercial production of the 1500 Turbopac products at its
facility in Carpinteria, California.  Pacific Baja Light Metals produces
housings for Turbodyne Systems prototype products which are then assembled
at the Carpinteria facility.  It has commenced preliminary commercial
production of the housing for the 1500 Turbopac product.

Turbopac specification and design for the 1500 Turbopac products is
essentially complete.  Turbodyne Systems' engineering staff is in the
process of finalizing parts and vendor lists and coordinating delivery
schedules for all components.  Milestones yet to be completed prior to
commencing full-scale commercial production and sale of product include:
completion of production equipment procurement and tooling; establishment
of manufacturing and testing standards/procedures; establishment of the
production/assembly lines; creation of installation procedures and related
documentation; and completion of environmental and other performance tests
on the final production units.  There is no assurance that commercial
production will be achieved in the foreseeable future or at all  or that
the products will be commercially successful.  In addition, no commercial
order is currently in place and there is no assurance that the Company will
ever receive such an order.

<PAGE>


Turbodyne Systems expects to complete specification and design for its
Dynacharger product in late 1997.  Turbodyne Systems' management
expects to ready the first Dynacharger model for production at the end of
1997, subject to a commercial order being in place.  No assurance can be
given that this product will be produced and if produced that it will be
commercially successful.

Turbodyne Systems' production plan calls for the electronic components of
Turbopac and Dynacharger to be assembled and tested at Turbodyne Systems'
facility in Carpinteria.   Final assembly and testing of the products is
scheduled to occur at the La Mirada facility.  Turbodyne Systems has
adequate space at its Carpinteria facility for these purposes and Pacific
Baja Light Metals intends to commit approximately 30,000 square feet at its
La Mirada plant for final assembly and inventory of Turbodyne products. 
Turbodyne Systems expects to concentrate its production and sales efforts
on the Turbopac and Dynacharger products, although limited sales and
production of the Turbodyne System are expected for customers interested in
an add on product for existing turbocharged vehicles.

Turbodyne Systems' limited production to date has served to meet the
requirements of potential customers and testing agencies retained by the
Company undertaking evaluations of Turbodyne Systems' products. 
Evaluations underway are primarily for the purpose of allowing potential
customers to determine the suitability and performance of the products for
their applications with the goal of obtaining purchase orders.  To date,
Turbodyne Systems has had no significant sales of its products other than
sales to Grand Technologies.  See "Distribution Agreements -- Grand
Agreement."

Turbodyne Systems has spent approximately $8,705,000 developing the
Turbodyne System, Turbopac and Dynacharger products to date.  Management
anticipates that an additional $1,500,000 will be spent in connection with
research and development efforts in order to bring all Turbopac models and
the Dynacharger product into full scale commercial production.  This is a
forward looking statement however and the actual amounts spent on research
and development activities may differ.  See "Cautionary Statements and Risk
Factors -- Product Development."

2.4  MARKETING OF THE TURBOPAC PRODUCTS
     ----------------------------------

The Company is undertaking the marketing efforts described below.  There is
no assurance this marketing will result in commercial sale of the Company's
products.

(a)  TURBODYNE SYSTEM
     ----------------

The Company is not currently marketing the Turbodyne System as it believes
that the Turbopac and Dynacharger products, each of which incorporate the
technology developed in the Turbodyne System, have superseded the Turbodyne
System and are more marketable products.

(b)  TURBOPAC PRODUCTS
     -----------------

The Company is marketing its Turbopac products in both the OEM sector and
the aftermarket installation sector.

The Company is providing each Turbopac product to OEMs, including Navistar,
AlliedSignal, Volkswagen and MANN, for testing in an attempt to convince
these manufacturers as to the performance and marketability of the Turbopac
products.  These evaluation programs are long-term and, accordingly, the
Company does not anticipate a contract with an OEM for its Turbopac
products until 1998 at the earliest.  The Company hopes to enter into joint
venture manufacturing agreements with the OEMs who agree to purchase the
Turbopac products.

The Company is marketing the 1500 Turbopac product in the aftermarket
automobile markets pursuant to the Grand Distribution Agreement (see
"Distribution Agreements--Grand Agreement").  Grand has yet to achieve
significant sales of the 1500 Turbopac product due to delays in full scale
production of the product by Turbodyne Systems.  

The Company intends to market the 2500 Turbopac product for the heavy duty
trucks and bus aftermarket installation market.  The 2500 Turbopac product
is undergoing final testing at Southwest Research Laboratories for
compliance with the pollution standards imposed by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency for the U.S. Urban Bus Retrofit program.  
The Company hopes to receive certification of the 2500 Turbopac product 
during the third quarter of 1997 at which time it will commence
marketing activities.  The 

<PAGE>

Company may produce the 2500 Turbopac product alone or under a joint
venture relationship with an existing retrofitter in the truck and bus
industry.

(c)  DYNACHARGER PRODUCTS
     --------------------

The Company intends to pursue evaluation programs with OEMs upon completion
of the development of the Dynacharger product.  As with the Turbopac
products, the Company intends to secure OEM supply contracts pursuant to
which the Dynacharger products will be incorporated directly into OEM
products.   The Company anticipates that it will commence these evaluation
programs in early 1998.

(d)  GEOGRAPHICAL MARKET
     -------------------

Initially, the Company is targeting OEMs in the United States and Europe
who are involved in automobile and truck and related parts manufacture. 
The ultimate consumers of these products may be located worldwide.  

The Company's geographical market for aftermarket products initially is the
United States and the U.S. urban bus retrofit market. (See "Distribution
Agreements--Grand Agreement").

2.5  COMPETITION
     -----------

While the Company believes there is no direct competition to the Turbodyne
Technology, competition to the Turbodyne Technology exists from competing
technologies marketed by companies who may have more resources and who may
be better financed than the Company.  In addition, there is no assurance
that new competitors will not attempt to enter the industry.  

Competition for the Turbopac Products is expected from improvements and
refinement to conventional internal combustion engines which may be able to
increase fuel efficiency and decrease emissions.  The cost of incorporating
these improvements and refinements into existing internal combustion
engines may be less than the cost of installing a Turbopac Product.  In
addition, improvements and modifications to existing technology may be more
readily accepted by OEMs and consumers.

Competition for the Dynacharger products is expected from improvements and
refinements to existing turbocharger technology.  Turbocharger
incorporating improvements and refinements to existing turbocharger
technology may be less expensive than turbocharger incorporating the
Dynacharger products.  In addition, OEMs and consumers may be more willing
to accept improvements and refinements to existing turbocharger technology 
than turbocharger installed with the Dynacharger product.

Both the Turbopac and Dynacharger products may realize competition from
existing products manufactured by OEMs who do not incorporate Turbodyne
products into their final products.  A relatively small number of OEMs have
a significant share of the automotive market and accordingly an OEM's
failure to incorporate the Turbodyne products into its product lines could
pose a significant barrier to entry to the Company.

2.6  IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION
     -------------------------------

As pollution standards increase, the automotive market is expected to
increase its demand for technical improvements to existing internal
combustion engine technology in order to meet these standards. 
Accordingly, an imposition of increased pollution standards by government
regulatory agencies is expected to cause an increase in demand for the
Turbodyne Products, assuming these products had been commercially developed
and accepted.

In the United States, emissions standards for diesel engines are imposed 
by the US Environmental Protection Agency (the "US EPA") and by other
regulatory agencies such as the California Air Resources Board ("CARB"). 
The Company believes, based on its testing, that vehicles equipped with
Turbodyne Products meet the US EPA's emissions standards as specified in
the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (the "Clean Air Act") which 
established the US emission standards for on-highway diesel engines
produced through 2001.  Insofar as light and medium heavy-duty diesel
engines are concerned, the CARB standards are similar to those adopted by
the US EPA.  There can be no 

<PAGE>

assurance that the government will not increase emission standards to a
level that the Turbodyne Products currently do not satisfy, in which event,
the Company may be required to expend significant amounts to develop and
incorporate the technology necessary to meet these standards.  Any such
expenditure and any delays in product development or sales as a result of
more stringent emission standards could have a material adverse effect on
the results of operations of the Company.

2.7  PROPRIETARY PROTECTION OF PRODUCTS
     ----------------------------------

Turbodyne Systems has filed and will continue to file patent applications
for its products and inventions.  Turbodyne Systems has made patent
applications for its Turbodyne Technology as described below.  Except as
indicated, there is no assurance that patents will be granted in respect of
these patent applications.

A U.S. patent application was made by Edward M. Halimi, as inventor, in
1993 for Turbodyne Systems' original Turbodyne Systems product.  This
patent application was assigned by Mr. Halimi to Turbodyne Systems pursuant
to an asset purchase agreement between Mr. Halimi and Turbodyne Systems
dated August 18, 1993.  Turbodyne Systems has been advised by the U.S.
Patent Office that all claims in respect of this patent application have
been approved.  Turbodyne Systems has submitted final drawings to the
Patent Office and has paid the patent issuance fee required for the issue
of the formal patent.  The issue of the formal patent is subject only to
the acceptance by the Patent Office of the final drawings.  No royalty is
payable in respect of this patent.  The patent will expire 17 years from
the date of formal issuance.

Two U.S. patent applications were submitted by Edward M. Halimi, William
Woolenweber and Ralph Maloof, as inventors, in 1995 in respect of Turbodyne
Systems' proprietary Dynacharger products.  The U.S. Patent Office has
approved all claims with respect to the earlier of the patent applications
and a formal patent has been issued in the name of the inventors.  With
respect to the second of the patent applications, the U.S. Patent Office
has approved 40 out of 42 claims and a formal patent has been issued in the
name of the inventors.  In respect of the first patent which has been
issued, this patent will expire on July 28, 2015.  In respect of the second
patent, this patent will expire on September 18, 2015.  The inventors have
executed formal patent assignment documents in favour of Turbodyne Systems
for each of the issued patents.  Turbodyne Systems has agreed to pay a
royalty to each of the inventors equal to 1% of the gross revenues directly
attributable to the Dynacharger products, for a total royalty equal to 3%
of gross revenues.

Two U.S. patent applications were submitted in late 1995 by Edward Halimi,
William Woolenweber and Ralph Maloof, as inventors, in respect of Turbodyne
Systems' Turbopac products and were re-filed with additional disclosed
embodiments in late 1996 in conjunction with international patent
applications filed pursuant to the Patent Cooperation Treaty (the "PCT"). 
Examination of the international patent applications has been requested by 
Turbodyne Systems.  The inventors have executed formal patent assignments
in favour of Turbodyne Systems in respect of these patent applications
which have been submitted to the U.S. Patent Office for registration. 
Turbodyne Systems has agreed to pay a royalty to each of the inventors
equal to 1.5% of gross revenues directly attributable to the Turbopac
products, for a total royalty equal to 4.5% of gross revenues.

Turbodyne Systems also has made patent applications for recognition of each
of the patent applications for the Turbopac and Dynacharger products with
each country that is a party to the PCT in order to secure international
patent protection of Turbodyne Systems' Turbodyne Technology.  

Turbodyne Systems' policy is to diligently defend any infringement of its
patents. To date Turbodyne Systems has not encountered any challenges or
potential challenges of its patents.  Turbodyne Systems has not established
a fund for defense of its patents but may do so if significant sales of its
products are achieved.

Turbodyne Systems also requires all employees, consultants and persons or
companies involved in the testing of Turbodyne Systems' products to execute
confidentiality agreements and to agree to keep confidential all
proprietary information with respect to Turbodyne Systems' products.

2.9  DISTRIBUTORSHIP AGREEMENTS
     --------------------------

a.   GRAND AGREEMENT
     ---------------

On June 13, 1996, Turbodyne Systems entered into an exclusive
distributorship agreement (the "Grand Agreement") with Grand Technologies
Inc. ("Grand"), formerly Granatelli Performance Technologies, Inc. of
Camarillo, California.  Under the terms of the Grand Agreement, Grand will
act as the exclusive worldwide distributor of Turbodyne Systems' Turbopac
products for the automotive and motorcycle gasoline engine performance
aftermarket.

Under the terms of the Grand Agreement, Grand was required to purchase a
minimum of 15,000 units in 1996 at an aggregate cost of $9,375,000 US and
50,000 units at an aggregate cost of $31,250,000 US in each subsequent year
in order to maintain its distributorship rights.  Turbodyne Systems
completed the initial delivery of 85 Turbopac products under the Grand
Agreement during the week of October 14 - 18, 1996. These units were not
recorded as sales as they were delivered for product evaluation purposes. 
Turbodyne Systems completed a subsequent delivery of 125 Turbopac products
during the period ending December 31, 1996, which deliveries also were not
recorded as sales.  The Turbopac products shipped were produced in limited
scale production runs at Turbodyne Systems' Carpenteria facility.  While
Grand did not meet the minimum purchase requirement of 15,000 units in
1996, Turbodyne Systems elected not to terminate the Grand Agreement for
failure to meet the minimum distribution requirement in 1996 as Turbodyne
Systems has been satisfied with the marketing efforts of Grand to date and
because Turbodyne Systems commenced limited production of the 1500 Turbopac
Product in late 1996.  Through June 30, 1997, Grand has not made any 
significant additional purchases from Turbodyne Systems.  There is no 
assurance that Grand will satisfy its purchase obligations for 1997 or in 
subsequent years or that Turbodyne Systems will realize these revenues.  
Turbodyne Systems has agreed that it will not terminate the Grand Agreement 
for failure to meet these minimum orders if Grand has been diligent in 
promoting sales.  

Grand was recently incorporated for the purpose of marketing the Company's
Turbopac products under the Grand Agreement and has no history of prior
sales.  The principals of Grand include Mr. Harry Hibler, an automotive
publisher, and Mr. George Fencl, a director of Vector Automobiles Company.  
Mr. Hibbler was formerly Director of Sales and Marketing for Specialty
Events for Peterson Publishing Co. from 1994 to 1996.  During this time,
Mr. Hibbler was publisher of Event Scene Magazine.  Mr. Hibbler was
publisher of Hot Rod Magazine from 1980 to 1985 and from 1987 to 1994 and
publisher of Car Craft Magazine from 1976 to 1980.  Vector Automobile
Company is a manufacturer of limited production high performance
automobiles.  Each of Mr. Fencl and Mr. Hibbler have in excess of 20 years
experience in the automobile industry.

Grand has no revenue other than revenue which may be received from the sale
of Turbopac products delivered by the Company.  Capitalization of Grand has
been nominal and contribution to Grand from its principals is on an as
needed basis in order to meet necessary obligations and ongoing expenses. 
Grand has indicated to the Company that it intends to expend $250,000 U.S.
to $300,000 U.S. on advertising and promotion of Turbopac products in the
first six months of 1997.  The Company does not know of any assets which
may be owned by Grand other than the Turbopac products delivered to Grand
by the Company and the interest of Grand in the Grand Agreement.

Turbodyne Systems entered into the Grand Agreement based on the experience
and reputation of Mr.  Hibbler and Mr. Fencl.  While there is a risk that
Grand will not be able to complete its obligation under the Grand
Agreement, Turbodyne Systems has the right to terminate the Grand Agreement
for cause, as defined in the Grand Agreement, or without cause upon
delivery of 90 days notice.  If the Grand Agreement is terminated, all
rights of Grand to distribute Turbopac products terminate.  Grand is an
independent contractor under the Grand Agreement and will not become an
agent or consignee of Turbodyne Systems.  Any product ordered by Grand will
be purchased by Grand 

<PAGE>

from Turbodyne Systems.  Turbodyne Systems is not obligated to fund the
operations of Grand or to provide any personnel or material to Grand under
the Grand Agreement.

At the time the Grand Agreement was entered into, Grand was known as
Granatelli Performance Technologies Inc.  Granatelli Performance
Technologies Inc. subsequently changed its name to Grand Technologies Inc.  
GRAND HAS NO ASSOCIATION WITH THE ANDY GRANATELLI GROUP OF COMPANIES,
PAXTON PRODUCTS, INC., VINCE GRANATELLI RACING INC., ANDY GRANATELLI OR ANY
COMPANY OF WHICH ANDY GRANATELLI IS AN OWNER OR A PRINCIPAL.

The Grand Agreement is for an initial term of three years and automatically
will be renewed, subject to Grand's compliance with the terms of the Grand
Agreement, for successive two year periods.

The Grand Agreement does not restrict Turbodyne Systems' right to appoint
other distributors for aftermarket applications other than the automotive
and motorcycle gasoline engine performance aftermarket, or for the OEM
market.

Under the Grand Agreement, Turbodyne Systems will offer a limited warranty
for each Turbopac unit sold by Grand.  The warranty obligates Turbodyne
Systems to replace any defective Turbopac unit.  The warranty is limited to
the expiry of a two year period from purchase or 50,000 miles of use,
whichever is earlier.

There is no assurance that Grand will be sufficiently capitalized to enable
Grand to complete its obligations under the Grand Agreement or any purchase
orders delivered by Grand to the Company.

b.   VIESSMAN WERKE
     --------------

The Company has been advised by Viessman Werke GmbH & Company of Allendorf,
Germany that Viessman has received favorable results from its performance
evaluations of the Company's Turbopac products.  The evaluations were
completed by Viessman pursuant to a development and supply proposal agreed
to between the Company and Viessman in January, 1996.  The proposal
contemplated the supply of approximately 200,000 Turbopac units per year
upon completion of successful evaluations by Viessman.

There is no assurance that the Company and Viessman will enter into a
formal supply contract for the 200,000 Turbopac units, as contemplated in
the proposal, and to date, the Company has not received any purchase orders
from Viessman.

c.   KUHNLE, KOPP AND KAUSCHE AG
     ---------------------------

The Company has entered into an agreement in principle with Kuhnle, Kopp
and Kausche AG ("3K"), dated for reference April 11, 1997, for the design,
development and manufacture of a prototype line of turbocharger
incorporating the Company's technology and manufactured by 3K.  It is
anticipated that the prototype turbocharger will be developed for 3K's
major customers in the European automotive market.  3K is owned by the
Penske Automotive Organization and is the largest manufacturer of
turbocharger in Germany. 

The agreement in principle contemplates the formation of a joint venture
pursuant to which the Company will grant to the joint venture an exclusive
license of its Turbodyne technology for the design, manufacture and sale of
motor-driven turbocharger in Europe for auto and truck manufacturers and
such other territories as the parties agree.  3K will have overall
responsibility for marketing and sales of the joint venture products
through 3K's established distributor and dealer network.  The Company will
not receive any royalty from its license to the joint venture and will
participate in joint venture profits to be shared pursuant to a formula
based on cost contributions.  The agreement in principle also provides 3K
with the option to continue to use any technology licensed to the joint
venture for a period of three years after termination of the joint venture
relationship, in consideration for the payment of a royalty in an amount to
be agreed upon.

<PAGE>


There is no assurance that the agreement in principal between the Company
and 3K will result in the execution of a joint venture agreement between
the Company and 3K.  In addition, there is no assurance that a joint
venture between the Company and 3K will achieve sales of the turbocharger
incorporating the Company's Turbodyne Technology or that the Company will
ever realize any profits from the joint venture.

2.10.     DEVELOPMENT COSTS TO DATE
          -------------------------

Since the acquisition of the Turbodyne Technology, Turbodyne Systems has
principally engaged in the research and development of products that
incorporate the Turbodyne Technology.  The Company concentrates the
business of Turbodyne Systems exclusively on research and development of
products incorporating the Turbodyne Technology.  At such time as these
products are ready for commercial production, Turbodyne Systems intends to 
engage in research and development of additional products incorporating the
Turbodyne Technology.

The research and development costs incurred during the past three fiscal
years of the Company, and from incorporation to December 31, 1996 are as
follows:

2.11 CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS
     --------------------------------------

Several of the matters discussed in this document contain forward looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Factors associated with
the forward looking statements which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected in the statements appear below.  In
addition to the other information contained in this document, readers
should carefully consider the following cautionary statements and risk
factors.

NO HISTORY OF PRODUCT SALES.  The Turbodyne Business has not yet achieved
commercial production of its Turbodyne Products, other than the limited
scale production of Turbopac products, and is being financed by equity and
debt.  Turbodyne Systems has had no significant sales to date. 
Accordingly, the Company is subject to risks associated with start-up
companies, including initial losses, uncertainty of revenues, markets and
profitability and the necessity of additional funding.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.  The Turbodyne System, Turbopac and Dynacharger
products have yet to be commercially produced and unexpected problems and
changes to specifications may arise in the development of these products. 
These problems or changes may affect the overall feasibility of the
product, or could delay completion time and increase costs of development. 
Additionally, as product evaluations are not complete, the Company cannot
predict market acceptance of the Turbodyne Products.

RAW MATERIALS.  Turbodyne Systems is primarily dependent upon outside
suppliers for manufacturing components.  There is no assurance that these
suppliers will be able to meet all the demands of the Company or that price
increases in raw materials can be passed on to the Company's customers
through increases in product prices.

COMPETITION.  The Company is not aware of any product directly competitive
with the Turbodyne System; however, indirectly competitive products
currently are sold in the marketplace.  Other products or technologies may
be developed and may make Turbodyne Products less competitive or even
obsolete over time.  Certain existing 

<PAGE>

competitors and organizations researching and selecting solutions to turbo-
lag and unacceptable emissions have greater financial, managerial and
technical resources, operating histories and name recognition than the
Company.  There can be no assurance that the market will consider the
Turbodyne Products to be superior to existing or future competitive
products, or that the Company will be able to adapt to evolving markets and
technologies, develop new products or achieve or maintain technological
advantages.

PROPRIETARY PROTECTION.  The Company has filed patent applications in the
United Sates and in certain foreign jurisdictions relating to Turbodyne
Technology.  Application for a patent offers no assurance that a patent
will be issued or issued without material modification.  Moreover, there
can be no assurance that patents will be issued, that issued patents will
not be circumvented or invalidated, that proprietary information can be
maintained as such or that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain
a technological advantage.  Insofar as the Company relies on trade secrets
and proprietary know-how to achieve and maintain a competitive position,
there can be no assurance that others may not independently develop similar
or superior technologies or gain access to the Company's trade secrets or
know-how.

PRICING STRATEGY.  The Company has developed a pricing strategy and price
lists for its products in relation to retail selling prices of indirectly
competitive products and on estimated costs of producing the Turbodyne
System.  Market acceptance of the Turbodyne products will be heavily
dependent on the pricing policy established by the Company and the cost-
benefit of the Turbodyne Products.  There is no assurance that established
pricing levels will be accepted by the marketplace or that the cost-benefit
to manufacturers will be sufficient to encourage mass purchase of the
Turbodyne Products.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.  Turbodyne Systems is dependent upon the
personal efforts and commitment of the management team, particularly Mr.
Halimi who is responsible for the development of current and future
products.  In the event management's services become unavailable, the
Company would need to recruit, retain and motivate other skilled
executives, sales and technical personnel to manage and operate the
business.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
locating new management or retaining them.  In the case of Mr. Halimi, the
loss of his services would adversely affect development of the business and
its likelihood of continuing operations. 

INSURANCE.  The Company plans to carry product liability, business
interruption and keyman life insurance, but, to date, such insurance is not
in place.

CHANGING INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT.  The Turbodyne Business may be affected by
other factors beyond its control.  For example, engine and turbocharger
configurations may change, the demand for turbocharged engines may diminish
regardless of the benefits of the Company's products, and the compartments
in which engines are installed might not offer sufficient space to install
the Company's Turbodyne products.


ITEM 2.                   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
                          -----------------------

ITEM 3.                      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
                             -----------------

The Company is a party to an action commenced in the Supreme Court of
British Columbia on October 2, 1996 by Brad Holt seeking specific
performance and/or damages for breach of an alleged agreement by the
Company to grant to Brad Holt options to purchase an aggregate of 650,000
common shares of the Company at prices varying from $3.50 per share to
$7.50 per share.  The Company has filed a defense denying the existence of
the agreement and, in the alternative, alleging that the agreement was
replaced by a subsequent agreement granting Brad Holt options on only
100,000 shares of the Company.  The Company's management is of the view
that the claim is without merit.

With the exception of the action commenced by Brad Holt, the Company and
its subsidiaries are not a party with respect to any material legal
proceedings, no legal proceedings by the Company are contemplated and the
Company is not aware of any possible material legal proceedings by other
parties against the Company.

ITEM 6.   EXCHANGE CONTROLS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS AFFECTING SECURITY
          HOLDERS
          ----------------------------------------------------------

Except as discussed in Item 7, the Company is not aware of any Canadian
federal or provincial laws, decrees, or regulations that restrict the
export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that
affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-
Canadian holders of the common shares.  The Company is not aware of any
limitations on the right of non-Canadian owners to hold or vote the common
shares imposed by Canadian federal or provincial law or by the Articles of
Continuation or the By-laws of the Company.

The INVESTMENT CANADA ACT (the "Act") is applicable to acquisitions of a
Canadian business by a non-Canadian person or entity.  The Act provides,
among other things, for a review of an investment in the event of
acquisition of control in certain Canadian businesses in the following
circumstances:

(a)  if the investor is a non-Canadian and is not a member of a World Trade
     Organization ("WTO") country, any direct acquisition having an asset
     value exceeding $5,000,000 and any indirect acquisition having an
     asset value exceeding $50,000,000;

(b)  if the investor is a non-Canadian and is a WTO member, any direct
     acquisition having an asset value exceeding $168,000,000, unless the
     business is involved in uranium production, financial services,
     transportation services or a cultural business.  An indirect
     acquisition of control by an investor who is a WTO investor is not
     reviewable unless the value of the assets of the business located in
     Canada represents more than 50% of the asset value of the transaction,
     or the business is involved in uranium production, financial services,
     transportation services or a cultural business.

The Act provides that a non-Canadian investor can hold up to 1/3 of the
issued and outstanding capital of a Canadian corporation without being
deemed a "control person", and that a non-Canadian investor holding greater
than 1/3 but less than 1/2 of the issued and outstanding capital of a
Canadian corporation is deemed to be a control person subject to a
rebuttable presumption to the contrary (i.e. providing evidence of another
control or control group holding a greater number of shares). 

The Act provides for notification under the Act where a non-Canadian
investor acquires control, directly or indirectly, of a Canadian business
with assets under the thresholds for reviewable transaction.  The
notification process consists of filing a notification form within 30 days
following the implementation of an investment.

ITEM 7.                          TAXATION
                                 --------

(a)  CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION
     --------------------------------

The following discussion is a summary of the principal Canadian federal
income tax considerations generally applicable to purchasers of the
Company's common shares ("Common Stock") who, for purposes of the Income
Tax Act (Canada) and Income Tax Regulations  (the "Canadian Act"), deal at
arm's length with the Company, hold shares of Common Stock as capital
property, are not residents of Canada at any time when holding Common Stock
and do not use or hold and are not deemed to use or hold Common Stock in
the course of carrying on business in Canada and, in the case of insurers
who carry on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere, do not hold
Common Stock that is effectively connected with an insurance business
carried on in Canada.  Such a purchaser is referred to in this discussion
as a "shareholder."

This summary is based on the current provision of the Canadian Act, the
regulations thereunder and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention
(1980) (the "Treaty") as amended.  This summary takes into account specific
proposals to amend the Canadian Act and the regulations thereunder publicly
announced by the Minister of Finance prior to the date hereof and the
Company's understanding of the current published administrative and
assessing practices of Revenue Canada, Taxation.  This summary does not
take into account Canadian provincial income tax laws or the income tax
laws of any country other than Canada.

A shareholder of the Company will generally not be subject to tax pursuant
to the Canadian Act on a capital gain realized on a disposition of Common
Stock unless the Common Stock is "taxable Canadian property" to the
shareholder for purposes of the Canadian Act and the shareholder is not
eligible for relief pursuant to an applicable bilateral tax treaty.  Under
proposals to amend the Canadian Act, the Common Stock will not be taxable
Canadian property to a shareholder provided that the Company is listed on a
prescribed Canadian or foreign stock exchange within the meaning of the
Canadian Act and provided that such shareholder, or persons with whom such 
shareholder did not deal at arm's length (within the meaning of the
Canadian Act), or any combination thereof, did not own 25% or more of the
issued shares of any class or series of the Company at any time within five
years immediately preceding the date of disposition.   In addition, the
Treaty will generally exempt a shareholder who is a resident of the United
States for purposes of the Treaty from tax in respect of a disposition of
Common Stock provided that the value of the shares of the Company is not
derived principally from direct or indirect real property interests
(including resource property) situated in Canada.

Under the Canadian Act, a disposition of shares that constitute taxable
Canadian property will give rise to a capital gain (or a capital loss)
equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of such shares,
net of any cost of disposition, exceeds (or is less than) the adjusted cost
base of such shares to the shareholder.  Generally, three quarters of any
capital gain realized by the shareholder on a disposition or deemed
disposition of such shares is included in computing his Canadian income for
that year as a taxable capital gain.  Three quarters of any capital loss
realized by a shareholder on a disposition or deemed disposition of such a
share in a taxable year may generally be deducted from his Canadian taxable
capital gains for that year.

Under the Canadian Act, the disposition of a share by a shareholder may
occur or be deemed to occur in a number of circumstances including on sale
or gift of such share or upon the death of the shareholder.

The initial adjusted cost base of a share to a shareholder will be the cost
to him of that share.  Under the Canadian Act, certain addition or
reduction adjustments may be required to be made to the cost base of a
share.  The adjusted cost base of each common share of a corporation owned
by a shareholder at any particular time will be the average adjusted cost
base to him of all shares of the same class of that corporation owned by
him at that time.

Any dividend, including stock dividends, paid or credited, or deemed to be
paid or credited, by the Company to or for the benefit of a shareholder
will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% on the gross
amount of the dividend, subject to the provisions of any applicable income
tax convention.  Pursuant to the Treaty, the rate 

<PAGE>

of withholding tax generally will be reduced to 15% in respect of dividends
paid to a shareholder who is a resident of the United States for purposes
of the Treaty and are further reduced to 5% if the beneficial owner of the
shares is a corporation that is a resident of the United States for
purposes of the Treaty owning at least 10% of the voting shares of the
Company.

(b)  UNITED STATES TAXATION
     ----------------------

For federal income tax purposes, an individual who is a citizen or resident
of the United States or a domestic corporation ("U.S. Taxpayer") will
recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the Company's Common Stock equal to
the difference between the proceeds from such sale and the adjusted cost
basis in the Common Stock.  The gain or loss will be a capital gain or
capital loss if the Company's Common Stock is a capital asset in the hands
of the U.S. Taxpayer.

For federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Taxpayer will be required to
include in gross income dividends received on the Company's Common Stock. 
A U.S. Taxpayer who pays Canadian tax on a dividend on the Common Stock
will be entitled, subject to certain limitations, to a credit (or
alternatively, a deduction) against federal income tax liability.  A
domestic corporation that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the
Company should consult its tax advisor as to applicability of the dividends
received deduction or deemed paid foreign tax credit with respect to
dividends paid on the Company's Common Stock.

DIVIDENDS
- ---------

To date, the Company has not paid any dividends on its common shares.  The
Company's policy at the present time is to retain earnings for corporate
purposes.  The payment of dividends in the future will depend on the
earnings and financial condition of the Company and such other factors as
the Board of Directors of the Company may consider appropriate.  Since the
Company is currently in an expansion stage, it is unlikely that earnings
will be available for the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 9.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               ---------------------------------------------

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
Report.

1.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     ---------------------

1.1  THE COMPANY
     -----------

From the date of the acquisition of the Turbodyne Technology in April, 1993
to the completion of the acquisition of Pacific Baja, the Company was
engaged, through Turbodyne Systems, principally in researching and
developing products incorporating the Turbodyne Technology to enhance
engine performance and reduce emissions of internal combustion engines. 
During this period, the Company commenced development of the Turbodyne
System, the Turbopac product and the Dynacharger product.  In addition, the
Company's research and development resulted in the filing of the patent
applications in respect of the Turbodyne System and the Turbopac and
Dynacharger products.  While Turbodyne Systems undertook low volume
production of its products, the products produced were used for testing and
evaluation with OEMs and major retrofit customers.  The Company did not
record any revenues during this period and has expended $8,705,000 to
December 31, 1996 as development costs for the Turbodyne products.  The
development of the Turbodyne products was financed during this period
primarily from private placement equity financings.  The Company's
financial results for the period from July 2, 1996 to December 31, 1996
include financial results from both the Turbodyne Business and the Pacific
Baja Business.

(a)  DECEMBER 31, 1996
     -----------------

The Company's audited financial statements for the year ending December 31,
1996 are based on the consolidation of the Company and Pacific Baja Light
Metals and its subsidiaries effective July 2, 1996.  The consolidation date
is the date agreed by the Company and Pacific Baja that all material
conditions precedent to the completion of the acquisition of Pacific Baja
had been satisfied.

Sales of the Company for the period ending December 31, 1996 increased from
nil in prior years to $19,007,000.  These sales are attributable solely to
the sales recorded by Pacific Baja Light Metals for the period from July 2,
1996 to December 31, 1996.  The Company recorded a gross profit of
$2,509,000 which also was attributable to the Pacific Baja Business.  Of
the total sales attributable to the Pacific Baja Business, sales of
aftermarket wheel products accounted for sales of $9,799,000 and sales of
cast aluminum products, including compressor housings and manifolds,
accounted for sales of $9,208,000.  Of the gross profit attributable to the
Pacific Baja Business, sales of aftermarket wheel products accounted for
gross profits of $1,309,000 and sales of cast aluminum products, including
compressor housings and manifolds, accounted for a gross profit of
$1,200,000.  Gross profit from sales of aftermarket wheel products declined
from $2,650,000 U.S. for the first six months of 1996 to $1,309,000 Cdn.
for the six month period from July 2, 1996 to December 31, 1996 due to
seasonal declines in the aftermarket wheel product business.  Sales of
aftermarket wheel products typically peak in the spring of each year while
operating costs continue throughout the year. Gross profit from sales of
cast aluminum products declined from $2,482,000 U.S. for the first six
months of 1996 to $1,200,000 Cdn. for the six month period from July 2,
1996 to December 31, 1996 due to increases in the 

<PAGE>

price of raw aluminum and increased labour costs.  Pacific Baja Light
Metals' profitability is affected by increasing aluminum costs as the
prices of its cast aluminum products are fixed under contract in advance of
production.  Increased labour costs resulted from Pacific Baja Light Metals
increased production of cast aluminum products in order to meet deliveries
required under contracts.  Revenues from this production are not realized
until such time as the product is delivered under the contract.

The Company recorded product development costs of $4,934,000 during the
period from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996.  These costs are
attributable solely to product development costs incurred by Turbodyne
Systems.  The costs for the year ending December 31, 1996 exceeded the
product development costs incurred in 1995.  The increase is attributable
to the finalization of development of the 1500 Turbopac product, ongoing
development of the 2500 Turbopac product and the Dynacharger product and
gearing up for full scale commercial production of the 1500 Turbopac
product. Product development costs included establishing a quality control 
laboratory at Turbodyne Systems, designing an electronic controller unit
for the Turbopac products and continuing development and evaluation of the
Turbopac and Dynacharger products.  Project staff salaries increased as a
result of the establishment of an electronic engineering department for
Turbodyne Systems and the continued hiring of technical staff for
development of the Turbopac and Dynacharger products.

Operating expenses for the year ending December 31, 1996 increased to
$5,060,678, in comparison to total operating expenses of $1,527,342 in
1995.  This increase is primarily attributable to the consolidation of
operating expenses for Pacific Baja Light Metals for the period from July
2, 1996 to December 31, 1996.   The increase resulted from the acquisition
of Pacific Baja and inclusion of salaries for its employees for the period
from July 2, 1996 to December 31, 1996.  In addition, in 1996 Turbodyne
Systems increased salaries payable to several of its vice-presidents.  See
"Executive Compensation." 

Liquidity of the Company during the year was enhanced by the completion of
the Series A Special Warrant Offering and the Series C Special Warrant
Offering, each as discussed in Item 12 "Options to Purchase Securities from
the Company and its Subsidiaries."  The Company received cash proceeds from
the Series A Special Warrant Offering of $17,918,000, which was used for
the acquisition of Pacific Baja and payment of expenses associated with
this offering.  The Company received cash proceeds of $4,010,000 after
completion of the Series C Special Warrant Offering on December 6, 1996.

(b)  DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
     -------------------------

During the 1994 and 1995 financial years, the Company's sole business was
the Turbodyne Business as carried on by Turbodyne Systems.  Turbodyne
Systems did not record any sales during this period. The business
activities consisted of research and development of the Turbodyne System
and the Turbopac and Dynacharger products.  The Company incurred product
development costs of $2,016,726 in 1995.  Cumulative product development
costs prior to December 31, 1994 totalled $1,754,157.  Operating expenses
increased from $935,992 in 1994 to $1,527,342 in 1995 as the Company
increased its product development activities.  Operating expenses included
travel and business development expenses equal to $335,811 for the year
ending December 31, 1995 and equal to $245,297 for the year ending December
31, 1994.  The travel and business development expenses were incurred in
connection with establishing relationships and joint evaluation testing
programs with potential OEM manufacturers and establishing contacts with
suppliers and manufacturers for the Turbodye products.

Product development costs for the year ended December 31, 1995 were
$3,770,883 in comparison to cumulative total product development costs
equal to $1,754,157 as of December 31, 1994.  The majority of product
development costs were accounted for by project development costs (testing,
evaluations and research and development ) for the Turbodyne products and
associated staff salaries and benefits.

The Company's business activities during 1994 and 1995 were financed
primarily from private placement financings of the Company's common shares.

1.2  PACIFIC BAJA
     ------------

(a)  JUNE 30, 1996
     -------------

The consolidated net sales of Pacific Baja Light Metals for the first six
months of 1996 were $20,024,000 U.S., compared with $14,661,000 U.S. for
the first six months of 1995.  Net income for the six month period
increased to $1,894,000 U.S. as compared with net income of $664,000 U.S.
for the same period during 1995.  Operations during the six month period
were funded by revenues from product sales and advances under the credit
facilities of Pacific Baja Light Metals.  The outstanding balance of the
credit facilities as of June 30, 1996 area summarized as follows:

     COMPANY             CREDITOR            OUTSTANDING BALANCE
     -------             --------            -------------------
     Optima Wheel        Wells Fargo Bank    $3,239,000 U.S.
     Baja Pacific        Wells Fargo Bank    $1,246,000 U.S.

The increase in both sales and net income of Pacific Baja Light Metals is
attributable to continued expansion of both the aftermarket wheel business
and the cast aluminum products business of Pacific Baja Light Metals.

General and administrative expenses for the six month period ending June
30, 1996 totalled $1,386,000 U.S. in comparison to general and
administrative expenses of $3,128,000 U.S. for the year ended December 31,
1995.  Salaries payable to the employees of Pacific Baja Light Metals
accounted for $381,000 of the total general and administrative expenses for
this six month period.

(b)  DECEMBER 31 1995 AND 1994
     -------------------------

The consolidated sales of Pacific Baja for 1995 were $28,986,000 U.S.
compared with sales of $19,392,000 U.S. for 1994, an increase of 49%.  This
sales increase resulted from increases in both the wheel market and general
castings.  Wheel sales increased because of additional orders from
Interstate Tire Company in North Carolina, one of the United States'
largest buyers of after market styled wheels, as well as a broader and more
accepted product line.  The general castings sales increase resulted from
additional business from AlliedSignal.

Net income for 1995 was $815,000 U.S. compared with $480,000 U.S. for 1994. 
Gross margins remained consistent at approximately 20% for both years. 
Operating expenses decreased slightly as a percent of sales for 1994 to
1995.  Interest expenses increased to $519,000 U.S. in 1995 from $355,000
U.S. in 1994.  This increase resulted from the additional borrowing used to
support the capital additions in 1995.  These capital expenditures were
made at both the La Mirada and Ensenada facilities to support projected
sales increases in 1996 and beyond.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995
increased to $3,128,000 U.S. from $2,019,000 U.S. for the period ending
December 31, 1994.  The increase was primarily due to salaries payable to
the employees of Pacific Baja Light Metals which accounted for $1,113,000 
of the total general and administrative expense for 1995.

(c)  DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
     --------------------------

The consolidated sales of Pacific Baja for 1994 were $19,392,000 U.S.
compared with 1993 sales of $13,871,000 U.S., an increase of 40%.  The
sales increase was a result of the addition of the compressor housing
product line from AlliedSignal, increased manifold sales and increased
wheel sales.  The increased wheel sales resulted mainly from the addition
of additional customers, resulting in greater distribution and product-line
acceptance.

Profits for 1994 were $480,000 U.S. compared to $245,000 U.S. for 1993. 
Gross margins increased from 18% in 1993 to approximately 20% in 1994. 
This increase resulted from greater manufacturing efficiencies due to
increased volume.

The installation of quality systems resulted in slightly higher operating
expenses in 1994.  Interest expenses were also slightly higher in 1994 but
were consistent with the sales and working capital increases.

     COMPANY             CREDITOR               AT DECEMBER 31/96
     -------             --------            -------------------

violation of certain covenants under its line of credit facilities with
respect to tangible net worth criteria, total liabilities to tangible net
worth ratios and delivery of projected financial statements. Pacific Baja
Light Metals has remedied these violations of covenants by obtaining the
agreement of Wells Fargo Bank to revise the covenants such that Pacific
Baja Light Metals is in good standing with respect to each line of credit
facility as of the date of this Report. 

The Company is a guarantor of each of these line of credit facilities.

(c)  CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
     --------------------

The operating expenses of the Company are expected to increase as the
Company finalizes its preparations for commercial production of the
Turbodyne products.  The Company believes that its working capital will be
sufficient to fund its operating plan through 1997.  The Company's
projection of its working capital being sufficient to fund its operating
plan through 1997 is exclusive of any funds which may be available from the
Pacific Baja Business.  The Company intends to keep the cash flow from the
Pacific Baja Business for the operation and expansion of the Pacific Baja
Business. 

The Company believes that additional funding will be available upon the
commencement of commercial production of the Turbodyne products and sales
indicating market acceptance of the Turbodyne products.  The Company's
working capital should be sufficient to finance operations until additional
revenues are achieved or until additional financing becomes available, if
required.

<PAGE>

The Company is using its best efforts to enter into contracts with OEMs and
major retrofitters for the incorporation of its Turbodyne products.  The
liquidity of the Company will be affected if the Company is unable to:

     (a)  finalize agreements with OEMs and major retrofitters for the
          incorporation of its Turbodyne products in new diesel engines and
          after-market diesel engine products;

     (b)  achieve sales of its Turbodyne products directly to aftermarket
          customers at commercially viable rates.

one unit (a 'C-Unit') of the Company for no additional consideration at any
time prior to the one year anniversary of the issue of the Series C Special
Warrant.  Each C-Unit shall consist of one Common Share of the Company and
one transferable share purchase warrant (a 'C-Warrant').  Each  C-Warrant
will entitle the subscriber to purchase a further Common Share of the
Company at the price of $9.50 per share at any time prior to December 8,
1997.  

The Series C Special Warrants will be deemed to be exercised on the earlier
of:

     (a)  the fifth business day following the date a receipt is issued by
          the applicable regulatory authorities for a prospectus qualifying
          the distribution of the C-Units in the Provinces of British
          Columbia and Ontario; and
     (b)  December 8, 1997.

The Company is obligated to use its best efforts to file a prospectus with
the securities commissions in the Provinces of British Columbia and Ontario
in order to qualify for re-sale within these provinces of the 500,000
common shares and 500,000 C-Warrants to be issued to the subscribers of the
Company's Series C Special Warrant private placement upon conversion of the
Series C Special Warrants .  Upon issue of a final prospectus receipt by
each of the above securities commissions, the 500,000 common shares and
500,000 C-Warrants will be freely tradable within the Provinces of British
Columbia and Ontario, subject to additional restrictions under applicable
securities legislations.  If receipts for a final prospectus are not
obtained, the 500,000 common shares and 500,000 C-Warrants will be subject
to a hold period and additional restrictions under applicable securities
legislation until at least December 6, 1997.  

The price for the Series C Special Warrants was determined in accordance
with the policies of the Vancouver Stock Exchange applicable to the Company. 
The policies of the Vancouver Stock Exchange require that a company listed
on the Vancouver Stock Exchange not announce private placements at a price
less than the closing price of the Company's shares on the trading day
immediately prior to the announcement of the private placement, less an
applicable discount.  The maximum discount available to the Company was 15%
from the market price of the Company's shares, assuming the Company's
shares are trading at a price greater than $2.00 per share.

4.   SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERENCE SHARES
     --------------------------------------

The Company has entered into a private placement engagement agreement dated
June 17, 1997 with GEM Advisors, Inc. ("GEMA") a member of the Global
Emerging Markets Group ("GEM") for the placement of convertible preferred
shares and warrants with GEM or accredited investors introduced by GEMA.

The Company proposes to issue Class A Preference Shares pursuant to the
private placement agreement which will be issued at a price per share equal
to $1,000 U.S. and will be convertible into common shares at any time
during the period commencing four months from closing and ending three
years from closing at the lesser of:

1.   A fixed price equal to 110% of the bid price of the common shares at
     the time of closing, or

2.   A floating price varying from 80% to 90% (depending on time
     outstanding) of the 10-day average closing bid price of the Company's
     common shares at the time of conversion.

The preference shares will be deemed to be converted three years from
closing.

In the event the Company redeems the preference shares, the holders thereof
will receive a warrant entitling the holders to purchase for a period of
three years, at the fixed price described above, common shares having a
value of 

<PAGE>

33 1/3% of the amount of the funding.  The convertible preference shares
will have a dividend rate of 7% per annum payable in cash or common shares
(at the Company's option) at the time of conversion.

The Company has the option to redeem the preference shares in consideration
for:

     i.   a cash payment equal to the value of the common shares issuable
          upon conversion based on the lesser of 110% of the bid price of
          the Company's shares at the date of closing or 80% of the 10 day
          average closing bid price at the time of conversion; and

     ii.  a warrant at 110% of the bid price of the Company's shares at the
          date of closing to purchase a number of common shares equal in
          value, based on 110% of the bid price of the Company's shares at
          the date of closing, to the preference shares, with a term
          expiring concurrently with that of the original preference
          shares.

Funding is expected to take place in two tranches, with the first tranche
of US $2,500,000 expected to close no later than July 30, 1997 and the
second tranche of US $2,500,000 to close at a date to be mutually agreed
approximately 120 days after the first closing.  The proceeds will be used
by the Company for working capital.  The Company will pay a fee equal to 3%
of the gross proceeds raised to GEM.

As a condition of funding, the Company will be required to delist it shares

             [LETTERHEAD OF MORGAN & COMPANY, CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS]


                                AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of
Turbodyne Technologies Inc.


We have audited the revised consolidated balance sheets of Turbodyne
Technologies Inc. as at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the revised consolidated
statements of operations and deficit, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994.  These revised consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these revised consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.  

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
revised financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these revised consolidated financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December
31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.  As required by the British Columbia Company
Act, we report that, in our opinion, these principles have been applied on a
consistent basis.

In our report dated February 14, 1997, except for the last paragraph of Note
5(A) which is as of March 12, 1997, we reported that in our opinion the
consolidated financial statements presented fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
results of its operations and the changes in its cash flows for the years then
ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Subsequent
to March 12, 1997, the Company has revised these consolidated financial
statements as explained in Note 13.  Therefore, our report dated February 14,
1997, except for the last paragraph of Note 5(A) which is as of March 12, 1997,
has been withdrawn.


Vancouver, B.C.                                          /s/ Morgan & Company


February 14, 1997, except for the last paragraph         Chartered Accountants
  of Note 5(A) which is as of March 12, 1997, 
  Note 2, Note 13 and Note 14(a) which are as of 
  May 14, 1997 and Notes 14(b), 14(c), 14(d),

      ii)  the development of products to enhance performance and reduce
           emissions of internal combustion engines.

   b) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

           instruments, approximate their fair values.  These financial
           instruments include cash, accounts receivable, advances receivable,
           accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank credit lines and
           other conventional debt financing.

      iv)  Inventories

           Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  For the
           materials portion of inventories, the cost is determined using the
           LIFO (last-in, first-out) method.  For the other components of
           inventories (labour and overhead) the cost is determined using the
           FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------

                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

                    (Stated in thousands of Canadian Dollars)
                                    (revised)

   b) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

      v)   Depreciation

           Property, plant and equipment is recorded at its historical cost and
           is being depreciated using the straight-line method over their
           estimated useful lives.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over
           the lesser of its useful life or the life of the lease.  The
           following is a summary of depreciable life by asset type:

           Building                                          30 years
           Furniture and fixtures                        5 - 10 years
           Machinery and equipment                       7 - 15 years
           Transportation equipment                           5 years
           Leasehold improvements                        8 - 10 years

      vi)  Product Development Costs

           The Company is deferring all engineering, design consulting and
           other costs directly related to the ongoing development and
           commercialization of its Turbodyne System to be amortized against
           related revenues when production commences.

      vii) Goodwill

           Goodwill, representing the excess of acquisition costs of shares
           over the assigned value of net assets acquired, is being amortized
           on a straight line basis over 20 years.

      viii)  Leases

           Leases are classified as capital or operating leases.  Leases which
           transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks incident to
           ownership of property are accounted for as capital leases.  Assets
           acquired under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line
           method over five years.  All other leases are accounted for as
           operating leases and the related lease payments are charged to
           expense as incurred.

      ix)  Non-Monetary Transactions

           Shares of common stock of the Company issued for non-monetary
           consideration are valued at the quoted market price per share at the
           close of trading on the day of completion of the transaction except
           for those circumstances where, in the opinion of the Company and due
           to the nature of the transaction, the trading price does not fairly
           represent the value of the transaction.  In such circumstances, the
           value of the shares is determined based on the estimated fair value
           of the consideration received.

   b) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

      x)   Foreign Currency Translation

           The financial statements of Pacific Baja Light Metals Corp., a self-
           sustaining foreign subsidiary, are translated using the current
           method whereby the balance sheet is translated at year end exchange
           rates and revenues and expenses at the average exchange rate for the
           period.  Adjustments arising from the translation of the
           subsidiary's financial statements are included as a separate
           component of shareholders' equity.

           The financial statements of Turbodyne Systems, Inc., a fully
           integrated foreign subsidiary, are translated using the temporal
           method whereby monetary assets and liabilities are translated at
           year end rates, non-monetary items at historical rates and expenses
           at the average rate for the year.  Gains or losses from exchange
           translations are included in the results of operations.

      xi)  Income Taxes

           During 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
           Standards No. 109 - "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109).  This
           standard requires the use of an asst and liability approach for
           financial accounting and reporting on income taxes.  It is more
           likely than not that some portion of all of a deferred tax asset
           will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

      xii) Loss Per Share

           Loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common
           shares outstanding during the year.  Since the Company's stock
           options, warrants and escrow shares are anti-dilutive, they have not
           been included in the calculation.

      xiii)  Basis of Presentation

           These financial statements are prepared in accordance with
           accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.  Had they been
           prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
           in the United States, the following differences in the measurement
           of income, results of operations and shareholders' equity would have
           resulted:

           a) The $1,147 value attributed to the 100 shares of Turbodyne
              Systems, Inc., issued in consideration of the accumulated time
              and out-of-pocket expenditures incurred in the development of the
              "Turbodyne System" prior to its acquisition by Turbodyne Systems,
              Inc. would have been charged to shareholders' equity, not
              capitalized as project development costs.

13.   REVISION TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The Company has revised the accounting for the acquisition of Pacific Baja
   Light Metals Holding Inc. ("Pacific Baja") by increasing the value assigned
   to the common share component of the consideration paid by the Company in
   connection with this acquisition.  This revision, which is in accordance
   with generally accepted accounting principles, reflects the fair market
   value of the shares issued as consideration for the Company's acquisition of
   Pacific Baja.  The Company had previously accounted for the acquisition
   using a purchase price of $20,400 based on the fair market value of the net
   assets of Pacific Baja resulting in the assignment of $4,080 to the common
   share component of the consideration paid by the Company.  The effect of
   using the fair market value of the Company's common shares issued results in
   the assignment of $15,385 to the common share component of the consideration
   paid by the Company.  This revision results in an increase in goodwill and
   share capital in the amount of $11,305 and an increase in amortization of
   goodwill and net loss for the year, and deficit of $262.

                               CREDIT AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of September 1, 1995, by and between
Optima Wheel, Inc., a California corporation ("Borrower"), and WELLS FARGO
BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank").

                                    RECITAL
                                    -------

     Borrower has requested from Bank the credit accommodations described below
(collectively, the "Credits"), and Bank has agreed to provide the Credits to
Borrower on the terms and conditions contained herein.
     NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, Bank and Borrower hereby agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I
                                   ---------

                                  THE CREDITS
                                  -----------

     SECTION 1.1.   LINE OF CREDIT.

     (a)  LINE OF CREDIT.   Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to time up
to and including September 1, 1996, not to exceed at any time the aggregate
principal amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) ("Line of Credit"),
the proceeds of which shall be used for working capital.  Borrower's obligation
to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory
note substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached 

Page 1
<PAGE>
hereto ("Line of Credit Note"), all terms of which are incorporated herein by
this reference.

     (b)  LIMITATION ON BORROWINGS.   Outstanding borrowings under the Line of
Credit, to a maximum of the principal amount set forth above, shall not at any
time exceed an aggregate of eighty percent (80%) of Borrower's assigned
eligible accounts receivable, plus thirty percent (30%) of the value of
Borrower's eligible inventory (exclusive of work in process and inventory which
is obsolete, unsaleable or damaged), with value defined as lower of cost or
market value; provided however, that the outstanding principal balance of all
borrowings against Borrower's inventory shall not at any time exceed an
aggregate of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).  All of the foregoing shall
be determined by Bank upon receipt and review of all collateral reports
required hereunder and such other documents and collateral information as Bank
may from time to time require.  Borrower acknowledges that said borrowing base
was established by Bank with the understanding that, among other items, the
aggregate of all returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances for the
immediately preceding three (3) months at all times shall be less than five
percent (5%) of Borrower's gross sales for said period.  If such dilution of
Borrower's accounts for the immediately preceding three (3) months at any time
exceeds five percent (5%) of Borrower's gross sales for said period, or if
there at any time exists any other matters, 

Page 2
<PAGE>
events, conditions or contingencies which Bank reasonably believes may affect
payment of any portion of Borrower's accounts, Bank, in its sole discretion,
may reduce the foregoing advance rate against eligible accounts receivable to a
percentage appropriate to reflect such additional dilution and/or establish
additional reserves against Borrower's eligible accounts receivable.

     As used herein, "eligible accounts receivable" shall consist solely of
trade accounts created in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, upon
which Borrower's right to receive payment is absolute and not contingent upon
the fulfillment of any condition whatsoever, and in which Bank has a perfected
security interest of first priority, and shall not include:

          (i)   any account which is past due more than twice Borrower's
standard selling terms;

         (ii)   that portion of any account for which there exists any right of
setoff, defense or discount (except regular discounts allowed in the ordinary
course of business to promote prompt payment) or for which any defense or
counterclaim has been asserted;

        (iii)   any account which represents an obligation of any state or
municipal government or of the United States government or any political
subdivision thereof (except accounts which represent obligations of the United
States government and for which Bank's forms N-138 and N-139 have been duly
executed and acknowledged);
Page 3
<PAGE>

         (iv)   any account which represents an obligation of an account debtor
located in a foreign country, except to the extent any such account, in Bank's
determination, is supported by a letter of credit or insured under a policy of
foreign credit insurance, in each case in form, substance and issued by a party
acceptable to Bank;

          (v)   any account which arises from the sale or lease to
or performance of services for, or represents an obligation of, an employee,
affiliate, partner, member, parent or subsidiary of Borrower;

         (vi)   that portion of any account which represents interim or
progress billings or retention rights on the part of the account debtor;

        (vii)   any account which represents an obligation of any account
debtor when twenty percent (20%) or more of Borrower's accounts from such
account debtor are not eligible pursuant to (i) above;

                               CREDIT AGREEMENT


     THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of September 1, 1995, by and between
Baja Pacific Light Metals Inc., a California corporation ("Borrower"), and
WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank").

                                    RECITAL
                                    -------

     Borrower has requested from Bank the credit accommodation described below,
and Bank has agreed to provide said credit accommodation to Borrower on the
terms and conditions contained herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, Bank and Borrower hereby agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I
                                   ---------

                                  THE CREDIT
                                  ----------

     SECTION 1.1.   LINE OF CREDIT.

     (a)  LINE OF CREDIT.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to time up
to and including September 1, 1996, not to exceed at any time the aggregate
principal amount of ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,500,000.00)
("Line of Credit"), the proceeds of which shall be used working capital. 
Borrower's obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be
evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of 

Page 1
<PAGE>
Exhibit A attached hereto ("Line of Credit Note"), all terms of which are
incorporated herein by this reference.

     (b)  LIMITATION ON BORROWINGS.  Outstanding borrowings under the Line of
Credit, to a maximum of the principal amount set forth above, shall not at any
time exceed an aggregate of eighty percent (80%) of Borrower's assigned
eligible accounts receivable. All of the foregoing shall be determined by Bank
upon receipt and review of all collateral reports required hereunder and such
other documents and collateral information as Bank may from time to time
require.  Borrower acknowledges that said borrowing base was established by
Bank with the understanding that, among other items, the aggregate of all
returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances for the immediately
preceding three (3) months at all times shall be less than five percent (5%) of
Borrower's gross sales for said period.  If such dilution of Borrower's
accounts for the immediately preceding three (3) months at any time exceeds
five percent (5%) of Borrower's gross sales for said period, or if there at any
time exists any other matters, events, conditions or contingencies which Bank
reasonably believes may affect payment of any portion of Borrower's accounts,
Bank, in its sole discretion, may reduce the foregoing advance rate against
eligible accounts receivable to a percentage appropriate to reflect such
additional dilution and/or establish additional reserves against Borrower's
eligible accounts receivable.

     As used herein, "eligible accounts receivable" shall consist solely of
trade accounts created in the ordinary course of

Page 2
<PAGE>
Borrower's business, upon which Borrower's right to receive payment is absolute
and not contingent upon the fulfillment of any condition whatsoever, and in
which Bank has a perfected security interest of first priority, and shall not
include:

     (i)  any account which is past due more than twice Borrower's standard
selling terms;

    (ii)  that portion of any account for which there exists any right of set
off, defense or discount (except regular discounts allowed in the ordinary
course of business to promote prompt payment) or for which any defense or
counterclaim has been asserted;

   (iii)  any account which represents an obligation of any state or municipal
government or of the United States government or any political subdivision
thereof (except accounts which represent obligations of the United States
government and for which Bank's forms N-138 and N-139 have been duly executed
and acknowledged);

    (iv)  any account which represents an obligation of an account debtor
located in a foreign country except to the any such account, in Bank's
determination, is supported by a letter of credit or insured under a policy of
foreign credit insurance, in each case in form, substance and issued by a party
acceptable to Bank;

     (v)  any account which arises from the sale or lease to or performance of
services for, or represents an obligation of, an employee, affiliate, partner,
member, parent or subsidiary of Borrower;

Page 3
<PAGE>
    (vi)  that portion of any account which represents interim or progress
billings or retention rights on the part of the account debtor;

   (vii)  any account which represents an obligation of any account debtor
when twenty percent (20%) or more of Borrower's accounts from such account
debtor are not eligible pursuant to (i) above;

  (viii)  that portion of any account from an account debtor which represents
the amount by which Borrower's total accounts from said account debtor exceeds
twenty-five percent (25%) of Borrower's total accounts;

    (ix)  any account deemed ineligible by Bank when Bank, in its sole
discretion, deems the creditworthiness or financial condition of the account
debtor, or the industry in which the account debtor is engaged, to be
unsatisfactory.

     SECTION 1.2.   INTEREST/FEES.

     (a)  INTEREST.  The outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit
shall bear interest at the rate of interest set forth in the Line of Credit
Note.

     (b)  COMPUTATION AND PAYMENT.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year, actual days elapsed.  Interest shall be payable at the times
and place set forth in the 

     (c)  COMMITMENT FEE.  Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-refundable
commitment fee for the Line of Credit equal to $1,500.00, which commitment fee
shall be due and payable in full on upon execution of this Agreement.

Page 4
<PAGE>

     SECTION 1.3.   COLLECTION OF PAYMENTS.  Borrower authorizes Bank to
collect all interest and fees due under the Line of Credit by charging
Borrower's demand deposit account number 4888015138 with Bank, or any other
demand deposit account maintained by Borrower with Bank, for the full amount
thereof.  Should there be insufficient funds in any such demand deposit account
to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency shall be
immediately due and payable by Borrower.

     SECTION 1.4.   COLLATERAL.

     As security for all indebtedness of Borrower to Bank pursuant to this
Agreement, Borrower grants to Bank security interests of first priority in all

Credit Note, and each other document, contract and instrument required hereby

any year.

     SECTION 2.7.   NO SUBORDINATION.  There is no agreement, indenture,

          $2,500,001 - $5,500,000            100%
          $5,500,001 +                       150%

may be reasonably necessary in connection with its services.  Corporation shall
reimburse the consultant for any and all such costs and out of pocket
expenditures upon the presentation by the Consultant, from time to time, of an
itemized account of such expenditures and corresponding vouchers.

          5.04 WITHHOLDING TAXES:  Consultant is an independent contractor. 
Therefore, Consultant will pay all taxes, including but not limited to state
and Federal income taxes, SDI and FICA, which may be attributable to
compensation paid to consultant under this Agreement.  Consultant will also
withhold and pay over any and all withholding responsible to taxes for its
employees or agents, specifically including but not limited to Swede and the
support staff.

                          ARTICLE VI.  STOCK OPTIONS

          6.01 STOCK OPTIONS:  Consultant shall be entitled to options to
acquire 150,000 shares of stock in Turbodyne Technologies, Inc., at the rate of

422.  The options are granted in consideration of the execution of this
contract and will survive Consultant termination.

during or after the term of such engagement reveal such confidential
information or any part of it to any person, firm, corporation or association

company lists, company manuals and other company documents and including any
photocopies thereof upon termination of this Agreement.

sole proprietor, employee, or otherwise within a one hundred (100) mile radius
of any current office or manufacturing plant of either Optima or Baja Pacific
Light Metals.  If Consultant breaches this agreement; then Pacific Baja shall
have the right to enjoin Consultant from any further competitive action.

                            AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE


THIS AGREEMENT in Principle ("Agreement") is entered into, as of the 11th day
of April, 1997, by and between TURBODYNE SYSTEMS, INC., Nevada Corporation,
with offices located at 6155 Carpinteria Avenue, Carpinteria, California 93013,
USA, hereinafter called "Turbodyne" and AG KUHNLE, KOPP & KAUSCH, a German
Aktien gesellshaft, with offices located at Hessheimer Strasse 2m D-67227
Frankenthal, Germany, hereinafter called "KKK".

WHEREAS, Turbodyne is in the business of design, development, manufacturing and
sales of electrically driven turbochargers and turbo compressors and has
established test and development programs with various engine, auto, and truck
manufacturers, and is the owner and beneficiary of several patents, patent
applications and other intellectual property related to its technology; and

WHEREAS, KKK is established in the business of design, development,
manufacturing and sales of turbochargers for the automotive market; and

WHEREAS, Turbodyne has been conducting design, development, prototype
manufacturing and test and evaluations with various engine manufacturers with
respect to motor driven turbochargers; and

WHEREAS, several engine manufacturers have expressed a desire for incorporation
of motor-driven turbochargers in their automotive products and have suggested a
joint cooperation between Turbodyne and a turbocharger manufacturer for joint
design, development and marketing of motor assisted turbochargers.

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained
herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as
follows:

1.   DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
     ----------------------

     Turbodyne has developed various versions of brushless motor designs for
     incorporation into various turbochargers.  Under the terms of this
     Agreement, Turbodyne will, in cooperation with KKK and at Turbodyne's own
     sole cost and expense, design, develop and manufacture prototype motor and
     electronic controller units, as well as the appropriate light metal
     castings, as a sub-system for incorporation into turbochargers which will
     be specifically designed, developed and prototype manufactured by KKK at
     its sole cost and expense.  During the design, development and prototype
     manufacturing phase, KKK will make space available to Turbodyne engineers
     for fabrication and testing at KKK facilities at no cost.  Turbodyne will,
     however, be responsible for salaries and other related expenses of its own
     personnel.

2.   SCOPE OF WORK
     -------------

     The parties will start the implementation of this agreement for mutually
     selected customers as soon as possible and will each use their best
     efforts in that regard.  It is, however, 

Page 1
<PAGE>
     contemplated that by mutual agreement of the parties, similar programs may
     be started for additional customers.

3.   CUSTOMER EVALUATION
     -------------------

     During the design and development stage, the parties shall work closely
     with mutually selected customers and will conduct testing and evaluation
     at Turbodyne, KKK and customer facilities, as required and at each parties
     own expense.

4.   MANUFACTURING
     -------------

     The parties recognize that there are various benefits associated with
     motor-driven turbochargers on commercial engine applications, including
     creating more sales due to improved engine performance.  In an effort to
     increase the market share of the device and maintain a competitive edge in
     the market place (recognizing that the field of automotive supply is an
     extremely competitive business), the parties agree to establish a joint
     manufacturing policy with the objective of reaching minimum cost to afford
     maximum flexibility in penetrating the market and without detriment to
     either party.  The parties, therefore, agree to conduct the manufacturing
     operations on a joint venture basis so that components contributed by each
     party to the join-venture will be at cost, based on a cost formula to be
     agreed on by the parties and made part of this agreement.  Cost of
     assembly, marketing and other related costs are to be borne by the join-
     venture, which will be added to the unit cost.  Details of the commercial
     aspects of the joint venture will be mutually agreed upon and finalized
     prior to manufacture.

5.   MARKETING AND SALES
     -------------------

     KKK will have the overall responsibility for all marketing and sales of
     the joint venture products, and Turbodyne personnel will assist in all
     evaluation and sales activities as needed.  All such marketing and sales
     costs are to be borne by the joint venture under a formula to be agreed to
     by the parties.

     The parties agree to share proportionately in the profits derived from the
     sale of the products in relation to the respective parties' cost
     contributions, under a formula to be agreed to by the parties.  The join-
     venture shall be responsible for administration of all warranty and
     services programs.  The respective parties shall be responsible to the
     joint-venture for any defects in components contributed to the joint-
     venture.

6.   EXCLUSIVITY
     -----------

     The parties recognize that extensive resources will be allocated by them
     for the development, manufacturing and sale of the joint venture products.
     Furthermore, the benefits of motor-driven turbochargers, such as
     elimination of turbolag, improvements in performance and 

Page 2
<PAGE>
     reduction in pollution, will encourage auto and truck manufactures to
     utilize turbochargers on a larger percentage of their engines,
     particularly in cases where turbocharging has been avoided due to
     consumers dislike of turbolag.  Therefore, while the parties endeavor to
     promote expansion of the market, it is important that the parties also
     enjoy the benefits of exclusivity.  Accordingly, Turbodyne will grant an
     exclusive license of its technology to the joint venture for the design,
     manufacture and sale of motor-driven turbochargers in Europe for such
     automotive manufacturers and in such other territories as KKK and
     Turbodyne shall mutually agree shall be commercially beneficial for the
     joint venture.

7.   TECHNOLOGY
     ----------

     Turbodyne will grant a royalty-free license of its technology to the joint
     venture for the purposes set forth above and for the term of the joint
     venture.  Such license will include any continuations of and improvements
     in Turbodyne's technology, and Turbodyne shall have the sole
     responsibility for any additional patent filings to cover such
     continuations and improvements.

8.   TERMINATION AND CONTINUATION OF TECHNOLOGY LICENSE
     --------------------------------------------------

     If the joint venture shall be terminated at some date, KKK will have the
     option to continue the use of the technology licensed hereunder by
     Turbodyne, for period of three years from the date of such termination. 
     KKK will pay a royalty to Turbodyne for such license for the three-year
     period under a formula to be agreed to by the parties.

9.   FINAL DOCUMENTATION
     -------------------

     The parties agree to work diligently to finalize and execute a mutually
     acceptable Joint Venture Agreement based upon the terms set forth in this
     Agreement.

                              TURBODYNE SYSTEMS, INC.

     previously stated in section 4.1.

     frequently than once during any 12 month period, Buyer or Seller may
     initiate negotiations to adjust prices to account for extraordinary
     changes to the labor portion of the product cost.  The change to the labor
     cost must e deemed extraordinary after such economic influences as the
     Peso-Dollar Exchange rate is taken into consideration.  The Seller will,
     at the request of the Buyer, provide documentation to substantiate the
     proposed change to the labor percentage of the part cost.  The prices
     referenced on Exhibit I will remain firm and fixed for entirety of 1994.

     Market.

6.   QUALITY CRITERIA
     ----------------

6.1  Seller must maintain quality and delivery standards that are at least
     consistent with a score of fifty (50) as measured by Buyer on Buyers
     Quality Survey (BC-2522).  If for some reason, Seller does not meet a
     minimum score of fifty (50) on the Buyer's Quality Survey, Seller will
     have six months to achieve this minimum score of fifty (50), otherwise,
     Buyer may terminate the Agreement with respect to some or all of the
     Products, without further obligations to the Seller.

6.2  In addition to Seller's obligations under Paragraph 6.1, Seller shall also
     maintain a cumulative rejection rate per Attachment B.  Dates for
     continued improvements by Seller are included in Attachment B which is

     Products conforming to Buyer's specifications. Buyer shall debit Seller a
     fee of $105 per rejected shipment whether rejected in whole or in part to
     cover internal processing of the rejection and notify Seller of the

     Products within the twenty-four (24) hour period referred to above, Buyer
     shall debit Seller $75 per hour that may be

     the net effect of the decrease after non-recurring costs will count 100%
     toward the commitments mentioned in section 4.1.  Additional savings after
     the commitment is met will be shared 50-50 between Buyer and Seller.
