for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's January 1, 2000 audited

NOTE 4 - Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis of accounting which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company has incurred net losses of
$1,487,215 million. For the two years ending January 1, 2000, the Company has
incurred a net loss and net income of $8,060,282 and $237,479, respectively. As
of April 1, 2000 and January 1, 2000, the Company had cash balances of
approximately $1,072,015 and $34,000, respectively and an accumulated deficit of
$11,336,983 million as of April 1, 2000. Additionally, as of April 1, 2000, the
Company has an outstanding balance on its credit line of $8,644,350 that matures
on July 10, 2000. These factors, among other things, may indicate that the
Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of
time.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of
liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern.




                                        8
<PAGE>   9
Management is pursuing various options in order to provide necessary financing.
Management's plans to resolve near term cash flow issues include the following
transactions:

-    Negotiating a new $15 million line of credit with additional cash
     availability;
-    A private placement equity financing to provide approximately $3 to $5
     million in cash flow, less offering costs; and
-    Projected improvement of operating results.

Management believes if it can finalize the financing alternatives that it is
pursuing together with its projected improvement in operating results for the
remainder of fiscal 2000, the Company will generate sufficient resources to
ensure uninterrupted performance of its operating obligations as currently
structured and anticipated. The Company's continuance as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its
obligations in a timely manner, to obtain additional financing as required, and
ultimately to attain profitability. There can be no assurance, however, that
these sources will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or when
necessary.

NOTE 5 - Issuance's of Preferred and Common Stock

In February 2000, the Company sold 543,478 shares of common stock under three
separate private placements to three non-U.S. investors. The Company received
$750,000 in proceeds related to these transactions.

In March 2000, the Company sold two thousand shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Preferred Shares"). Gross proceeds totaled $2 million with net
proceeds of approximately $1.8 million.


The Preferred Shares are convertible into a maximum of 3,436,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. For the first year after issuance, the Preferred Shares
are convertible at a fixed conversion price of $1.75 which was less than the
stock price at the date of close resulting in a beneficial conversion feature at
the issue date. Thereafter, the conversion price is adjusted every six months to
the lesser of:





-    The prior conversion price, or
-    The average market price for the ten days prior to the adjustment date.


As of the issue date, the Company allocated $500,000 to the beneficial
conversion feature, which was fully amortized at the date of issuance.


The preferred stock contains conditions for redemption which are not solely
within the control of the issuer. As a result, these shares have been classified
as mandatorily redeemable in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements.



                                        9
<PAGE>   10
Additionally, with the Preferred Shares, the Company issued warrants for the
purchase of 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company also
issued warrants for the purchase of 12,500 shares of common stock to a third
party as partial compensation for their assistance in placing the Preferred
Shares. The exercise price of these warrants is $2.00 per share, with an
expiration date of March 9, 2005. The fair value of the warrants at the date of
issuance totaled $280,000 and is reflected as an increase to additional paid in
capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6   Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement

In April 2000, the Company signed an agreement which extended the line of credit
due on April 10, 2000 for an additional three-months. The extension agreement
contains certain additional restrictive covenants and fees. In addition, the
maximum borrowing amount has been reduced to $9 million with further reductions
of $250,000 every two weeks beginning in May, 2000. The borrowing base has also
been reduced as defined in the agreement.

Although management anticipates it will be able to obtain a new line of credit
with another financial institution, there can be no assurance that it will be
able to obtain financing on acceptable terms and conditions or when necessary.

NOTE 7   Newly Issued Accounting Standards

In December 1999 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101). SAB 101 summarizes application of generally accepted
accounting principles related to revenue recognition and establishes certain
criteria. SAB 101 is effective for the Company's second quarter in fiscal 2000.
Management is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

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

13 WEEK PERIOD ENDED APRIL 1, 2000, COMPARED WITH 13 WEEK PERIOD ENDED APRIL 3,
1999

OVERALL


Net Sales for the thirteen-week period ended April 1, 2000 of $8.0 million were
up 5% over the comparable period in 1998. The Company recorded a net loss of
$1.5 million, or ($0.11) per share, in 2000 compared with a net loss of $160,292
or ($0.01) per share, for 1999.

</TABLE>


As indicated in the above chart, the Company's business consisted primarily of
motorcycle sales. The Company's Clothing and Accessories product line,
introduced in late 1997, continues to be well received.

The increase in motorcycle shipments is due to several reasons. Chief among them
is the successful introduction of the Company's new "Phoenix by Titan" bike.
Additionally, the growth in the dealership network continues to be a factor in
the growth of shipments.

Gross Margin %                 6.3%         15.1%         8.8%
</TABLE>

In the thirteen-weeks ended April 1, 2000, gross profit decreased $513,000 or
47%, as compared to the comparable period in 1999. This decrease in gross profit
is due primarily to negative labor and overhead variances as a result of lower
production level due to a planned reduction of finished goods inventory.
Additionally, margin was reduced due to increased sales of the Company's new,
lower priced "Phoenix" line of motorcycles that generate a lower gross margin
than the Company's hi-line bikes and the establishment of a $150,000 inventory
reserve for obsolescence. The gross profit margin was 6.3% as compared with
15.1% in 1999.

Management has plans in place to improve gross margin with volume purchases of
components, motorcycle and component design, improved utilization of labor and
overhead and the ramp-up of higher margin product for the remainder of fiscal
2000.

</TABLE>

Total operating expense for the thirteen-week period ended April 1, 2000
increased $595,000, or 52.7%, over the comparable period in 1999. This increase
was due to a number of causes, including, but not limited to the following
principal factors:

-    an increase in rental expense to support the expanded manufacturing
     facility
-    an increase in salaries and wages attributed to enhancing both the
     management and support staff necessary to support anticipated growth.
-    an increase in legal and accounting expense;
-    an increase in advertising, trade show and promotional activities in order
     to "roll-out" the Phoenix line of bikes.

CONSOLIDATED INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate was 0.0% in both the thirteen-week period ended
April 1, 2000 and the comparable period ended April 3, 1999. The Company
currently has a federal and state net operating loss carry forward of
approximately $8.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company supplies motorcycles to its dealers in one of two ways. First, the
dealer can specify the motorcycle completely with customized paint and selected
options with a lead-time of 6-8 weeks, sometimes slightly longer during peak
season. Alternatively, the dealer can select a completed bike from the Company's
available Finished Goods inventory list for immediate shipment or one from the
current production schedule that will be available inside the normal lead time
window. The Company builds some inventory of finished motorcycles during the
winter months that are consumed during the spring/summer peak season. During the
rest of the year the Company normally maintains a lower level of finished goods
inventory.

Motorcycles are typically either floored with major financial institutions by
the dealer or are paid for in full prior to shipment by the Company. The Company
receives payment for floored bikes within 2 weeks of shipment. During winter
months the Company may provide free flooring for qualifying dealers depending on
model and stock situation to help smooth shipments and keep higher levels of
product available for customers.

Parts used to build the bikes are usually available with short lead times, but
some parts do require up to ten weeks lead-time. Due to high quality standards
and reliability of delivery, the Company sets slightly higher stocking levels to
assure the availability of parts to production. The Company has an ongoing
program to continue to upgrade its supplier base and to selectively bring
additional parts in house for production, reducing required inventory levels as
well as part costs.

The Company has built a strong network of dealers both domestically and
internationally. Collectively, there are approximately 88 dealers currently in
place with more being added every month. There are 5 types of dealers in the
Company's network; independent dealers, Easyrider stores and franchises, Bikers'
Dream franchises, existing Harley Davidson(TM) dealers, and Titan dealerships.

To date in 2000, 4 dealers with common ownership (Titan of Los Angeles, Titan of
Las Vegas, Titan of Houston and Paragon Custom dba Titan of Phoenix) represented
approximately 14% of the Company's sales. Principals in the Company hold
majority ownership of these dealerships.

As of May 8, 2000, backlog orders stood at approximately $9 million, compared
with approximately $1.4 million at the same time in 1999.

NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 1999 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101). SAB 101 summarizes application of generally accepted
accounting principles related to revenue recognition and establishes certain

Management is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

The Company has not experienced any adverse effects related to the Year 2000
issue. Costs associated with the Company's Year 2000 compliance efforts were
immaterial with no additional costs anticipated.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company used $647,052 million of cash in operating activities in the
thirteen week period ended April 1, 2000 compared with $1,224,426 million in the
comparable period in 1999. The decrease in cash used for operating expenses is
due primarily to reduction in inventory of approximately $2,200,000 for the
thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000. Capital expenditures totaled $ 0 in the
thirteen-week period ending April 1, 2000 compared with $174,731 in the
comparable period in 1999. Cash provided through the issuance and sale of common
and preferred stock totaled approximately $2,500,000 for the first quarter in
fiscal 2000 as compared to approximately $650,000 million for the first quarter
1999. Additionally, the Company had a net reduction in borrowings under its line
of credit of $1,135,381 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared
with a net increase of $950,876 for the same quarter in 1999. A more detailed
description of cash flows can be found in the attached financial statements.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, the Company has incurred
net losses of $1,487,215 and $160,292, respectively. For the two years ending
January 1, 2000, the Company has incurred a net loss and net income of
approximately $8,100,000 and $240,000, respectively. Additionally, as of April
1, 2000, the Company has an outstanding balance on its credit line of $8,644,350
that matures on July 10, 2000. As of April 1, 2000 and January 1, 2000, the
Company had cash balances of approximately $1,487,000 and $34,000, respectively
and an accumulated deficit of approximately $11,200,000 as of April 1, 2000.
These factors, among other things, may indicate that the Company will be unable
to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Management is pursuing various options in order to provide necessary financing.
As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, management's
plans to resolve near term cash flow issues include the following transactions:


-    Negotiating a new $15 million line of credit with additional cash
     availability;
-    A private placement equity financing to provide approximately $3 to $5
     million in cash flow, less offering costs; and
-    Projected improvement of operating results.

Management believes if it can finalize the financing alternatives that it is
pursuing together with its projected improvement in operating results for the
remainder of fiscal 2000, the Company will generate sufficient resources to
ensure uninterrupted performance of its operating obligations as currently
structured and anticipated. The Company's continuance as a growing concern is
dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its
obligations in a timely manner, to obtain additional financing as required, and
ultimately to attain profitability. There can be no assurance, however, that
these sources will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or when
necessary.

AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

In April 2000, the Company signed an agreement which extended the line of credit
due on April 10, 2000 for an additional three-months. The extension agreement
contains certain additional restrictive covenants and fees. In addition, the
maximum borrowing amount has been reduced to $9 million with further reductions
of $250,000 every two weeks beginning in May, 2000. The borrowing base has also
been reduced as defined in the agreement.

Although management anticipates it will be able to obtain a new line of credit
with another financial institution, there can be no assurance that it will be
able to obtain financing on acceptable terms and conditions or when necessary.
