                             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 and cash flows for the
years then ended.  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 the
changes in its cash flows for the years then ended 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which is as of March 12, 1997, has been withdrawn.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.

          February 14, 1997, except for the          Chartered Accountants
          last paragraph 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), and 14(e), which are
          as of June 17, 1997.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company was incorporated under the Company Act of the Province of
British Columbia, Canada, and was continued under the Canada Business
Corporations Act on December 3, 1996. The Company is engaged in the
following business operations through its U.S. subsidiaries:

i)   the manufacture of aluminum cast automotive products, including engine
     components and specialty wheels; and

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

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in Canada
     when preparing its consolidated financial statements.

     a) Consolidation

        These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
        its wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries, Turbodyne Systems, Inc. and
        Pacific Baja Light Metals Corp.  All significant intercompany
        accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

        For the purpose of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all
        time deposits, certificates of deposit and highly liquid debt
        instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be
        cash equivalents.

     c) 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.

                                 (revised)

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     d) 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 their useful lives 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

     e) 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.

     f) 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.  On an annual basis, using
        estimated future net cash flows as a measure of recoverability, the
        Company evaluates whether there is a permanent impairment in the
        value of the unamortized portion of goodwill.  Any impairment in
        the value of goodwill is written off against earnings.

     g) 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.


     h) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial
        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.

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     i) 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.

     j) 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, nonmonetary 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.

2.   BUSINESS ACQUISITION

        Effective July 2, 1996, the Company acquired all the issued and
        outstanding shares of Pacific Baja Light Metals Corp. ("Pacific
        Baja").  This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
        method with the results of operations of Pacific Baja Light Metals
        Corp. for the period subsequent to July 2, 1996 being included in
        these consolidated financial statements.  Pacific Baja is a
        manufacturer and distributor of after-market automotive wheels,
        compressor housings and manifolds, to wholesale

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.
