                              Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
Franklin Manufacturing Company
d/b/a Franklin Electronics Company:


We have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets of  Franklin  Manufacturing
Company d/b/a  Franklin  Electronics  Company as of September 30, 1997 and 1996,
and the related statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity, and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year  period ended September 30, 1997.  These
financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these 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 the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about 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 financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of Franklin Manufacturing Company
d/b/a  Franklin  Electronics  Company as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the
results  of its  operations  and its cash  flows  for  each of the  years in the
three-year  period  ended  September  30, 1997,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

FRANKLIN MANUFACTURING COMPANY
d/b/a Franklin Electronics Company

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 1997, 1996, and 1995


(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a)  Description of Business

          Franklin Manufacturing Company d/b/a Franklin Electronics Company (the
          Company) is a manufacturer and distributor of electronic circuitry for
          customers located primarily in Missouri and Illinois.

      (b)  Principles of Consolidation

          The September 30, 1995 consolidated  financial  statements include the
          accounts  of  Franklin  Manufacturing  Company  and  its  wholly-owned
          subsidiary,  Franklin Electronics,  Inc. All significant  intercompany
          transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

          On  April  1,  1996,   Franklin   Manufacturing   Company  merged  its
          wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Franklin  Electronics  Company,  through  a
          statutory  merger  as  defined  by the  State of  Missouri.  Under the
          provisions of the General and Business  Corporations  Law of Missouri,
          the statutory merger leaves Franklin Manufacturing Company as the sole
          surviving  corporation doing business as Franklin Electronics Company.
          All of the property, rights, privileges,  leases, contracts,  licenses
          and patents,  as well as all of the  liabilities  and  obligations  of
          Franklin  Electronics Company became the property and/or obligation of
          Franklin   Manufacturing   Company.  The  effect  of  this  merger  is
          immaterial to the financial statements presented taken as a whole.

      (c)  Use of Estimates

          Management  of  the  Company  has  made  a  number  of  estimates  and
          assumptions  relating to the reporting of assets and  liabilities  and
          the disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities to prepare these
          financial  statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
          principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

          For  financial  statement   presentation   purposes,   cash  and  cash
          equivalents  include  cash on hand,  amounts due from  banks,  and all
          highly liquid investment instruments with an initial maturity of three

      (f)  Property and Equipment

          Property and  equipment  are stated at cost.  Equipment  under capital
          leases are stated at the present value of the minimum lease  payments.
          Depreciation  is calculated  using the  straight-line  method over the
          estimated  useful lives of the related  assets.  Equipment  held under
          capital  leases and leasehold  improvements  are  amortized  using the
          straight-line  method over the shorter of the lease term or  estimated
          useful life of the asset.

      (g)  Goodwill

          Goodwill of the  purchased  business is amortized  on a  straight-line
          basis over the period  estimated to be  benefited,  which is 15 years.
          The  Company  assesses  the   recoverability  of  goodwill  and  other
          long-lived assets based upon undiscounted  future operating cash flows
          whenever  events or changes in  circumstances  indicate  the  carrying
          amount of an asset may not be  recoverable.  Amortization  expense was
          $5,994 for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996, and 1995.

      (h)  Income Taxes

          Income taxes are accounted  for under the asset and liability  method.
          Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are recognized for the estimated
          future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the
          financial   statement   carrying   amounts  of  existing   assets  and
          liabilities  and their  respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and
          liabilities  are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
          taxable income in the years in which those  temporary  differences are
          expected to be  recovered  or  settled.  The effect of a change in tax
          rates on deferred tax assets and  liabilities  is recognized in income
          in the period that includes the enactment date.

 (2)  Property and Equipment

      Property and equipment consist of the following:

     major customers of $1,077,827,  $734,898, and $575,687, respectively, (23%,
     15%, and 12% of sales, respectively).

(11)  Subsequent Events

     During  December 1997, the Company elected to be taxed under the Subchapter
     S provisions of the Internal  Revenue  Code.  Under these  provisions,  the
     Company does not generally pay corporate-level  income taxes on its taxable
     income as earnings or losses and other tax attributes are passed through to
     the  stockholder.  The  election is effective  for the tax years  beginning
     after October 1, 1997.

     On April  30,  1998,  all of the  outstanding  shares of the  Company  were
     acquired by Unique Mobility, Inc. for a net purchase price of approximately
     $6.25 million.

                Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
                                      December 31, 1997



(A)    Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying   Unaudited  Pro  Forma  Consolidated   Balance  Sheet  as  of
December 31,  1997,  includes  historical  balances,  adjusted for the pro forma
effects of the Franklin  Manufacturing  Company acquisition completed subsequent
to December 31, 1997, and assumes that the acquisition  occurred on December 31,
1997. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated  Statement of Operations for the nine
months ended  December 31, 1997,  include the  unaudited  historical  results of
operations for Unique Mobility,  Inc. and Franklin Manufacturing Company for the
nine months ended  December 31, 1997,  adjusted for the pro forma effects of the
acquisition  assuming the acquisition  occurred on April 1, 1996. The nine month
results of Franklin  Manufacturing Company were computed by adding the unaudited
three month results of operations ended December 31, 1997 to the audited results
of operations for the year ended  September 30, 1997 and deducting the unaudited
six month results of operations ended March 31, 1997.

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated  Statement of Operations for the year ended
March 31, 1997,  include the audited  historical  results of operations  for the
five months ended March 31, 1997 and the  unaudited  historical  results for the
seven months ended October 31, 1996 of Unique Mobility,  Inc., and the unaudited
historical  results of operations  for the year ended March 31, 1997 of Franklin
Manufacturing  Company,  adjusted for the pro forma  effects of the  acquisition
assuming the acquisition  occurred on April 1, 1996. The twelve month results of
operations  of  Franklin  Manufacturing  Company  were  computed  by adding  the
unaudited six month  results of  operations  ended March 31, 1997 to the audited
results of  operations  for the year ended  September 30, 1996 and deducting the
unaudited results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 1996.

1) The  acquisition  price  for  Franklin  was  $6,247,316  which  consisted  of
$6,247,316  for the  common  stock of  Franklin  and the  assumption  of certain
debt for the  acquisition of assets from a related  entity.  The acquisition
price for the stock  consisted  of the  payment  of  $4,000,000  in cash and the
issuance of 286,282  shares of the common stock of Unique  Mobility,  Inc. at an
average closing price of $7.85 per share.  The acquisition will be accounted for
as a purchase.  The  allocation  of the purchase  price as of the April 30, 1998
acquisition date is as follows:

     2)   To record the fair value of the Franklin  assets  acquired,  eliminate
          accumulated  depreciation and adjust depreciation  expense on property
          and equipment based on a five-year estimated useful life.

     3)   To record  the excess of  acquisition  cost over the fair value of net
          assets acquired and record  amortization  based on a 20-year estimated
          useful life.

     4)   To fully  reserve  the  deferred  tax asset and  adjust  deferred  tax
          liability in the recording of the purchase  entries to reflect amounts
          unlikely to be realized or to be offset by fully reserved deferred tax
          assets of Unique relating to carryforward net operating losses.

     5)   To eliminate non-recurring expenses associated with assets distributed
          to previous owner prior to acquisition.

     6)   To  eliminate  non-recurring  tax  expense  that  would be  offset  by
          available net operating losses of Unique Mobility, Inc. which have not
          been recognized.

     7)   To eliminate compensation expense to former officers in excess of base
          salary under a new  Employment  Agreement  and  reductions in employee
          compensation levels.

     8)   To eliminate  lease  payments  paid to related  Company for  equipment
          purchased in acquisition  transaction and record interest  expense and
          depreciation expense on acquired assets.

     9)   For the purposes of this pro-forma  presentation,  interest income has
          been  eliminated as it has been assumed that all available  cash, from
          which interest income is derived,  was used to fund the acquisition of
          Franklin.  The Company,  in actuality,  used existing cash balances at
          March 31, 1998 which  included  proceeds from a private stock offering
          in March 1998 to fund this acquisition.
