ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB and the attached Financial Statements and Notes of the Company.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. While this outlook represents the Company's
current judgment in the future direction of the business, such risks and
uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from any future
performance suggested herein. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which
may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Factors that could cause
results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements include: market acceptance of both Gerodisc and the World Car,
variability of quarterly operations, dependence on management, competition,
political and economic risks of doing business in China, and the bureaucratic
nature of the automobile industry.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
There was a net loss of $(892,255) for the three months ended June 30, 1998
compared to a net loss of $(737,385) for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
During the three months June 30, 1998, the Company had no revenue as compared
to approximately $123,036 during the corresponding period last year.
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to
the corresponding period last year increased by approximately $112,000. The
addition of increased technical ability and project management to enhance the
Gerodisc product accounted for approximately a $85,638 increase in salary
expenses included in Research and Development for the most recent quarter as
compared to June 30, 1997. Direct materials and supplies decreased by
$(5,485). Travel expenses increased by $16,337 for the three months ending
June 30, 1998 due to expenses associated with supporting our licenses.
Computer related expenses increased by $12,321 for the installation and
training of new engineering software. In addition, the purchase of the
additional hardware and software resulted in depreciation expense being
$19,000 higher than in the same period in 1997. Legal and accounting fees
decreased for the three months ending June 30, 1998 by $(52,479) because of
reduced legal fees for patents. Patent applications increased by $4,156.
General and Administrative expenses increased by approximately $13,432. Sales
expenses increased by approximately $25,527 due to the Company's increased
marketing efforts in the international and domestic markets. Investor mailings
and stockholders expenses decreased for the most recent period by $(10,771).
Director's liability insurance was purchased this quarter resulting in an
additional expenditure of $6,320.

The Company recorded a loss of approximately ($143,000) on its investment in
the ASHA-TAISUN Joint Venture during the three months ended June 30, 1998.
Management has elected to be consistent with its practice since the beginning
of its current fiscal year of writing off the investment in the Joint Venture
as incurred. During the three months ended June 30, 1997 the Company only
wrote off 50% of its investment and held 50% of the investment on the balance
sheet. The actual expenses associated with the China operation for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998 decreased by approximately $60,134 as compared to
the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
The Company has invested approximately $440,000 in the ASHA-TAISUN Joint
Venture during the 10 months ending July 31, 1998. The expenditures were for
the development of the ABC technology and to technically support the Chinese
factory in its testing of the pre-production vehicles. At the end of June, the
Company had finished transferring the technology for the ABC Taxi to the
Chinese factory. The Company has chosen to reduce its ABC activities in
relation to finding other ABC licensees due to the severe economic situation
in South East Asia. The Company will continue to support the Chinese factory
with engineering and/or design expertise if required, but does not expect to
be called on frequently as the transfer of technology is complete. The factory
is expected to begin limited production of the taxi at the completion and
evaluation of the 125,000 kilometer tests.
The Company will continue to search for potential licenses for the ABC
technology, but will not maintain design and engineering activities during
this process. Such reduction in activities is expected to reduce the Company's
expenditures by approximately $700,000 annually.
The Chinese factory operation is in the process of revising its annual
production expectations downward due to the Asian economic situation, however,
the Company has no specific information concerning these revised projections.
The Company has completed its build of the production tooling and molds for
the Chinese factory. The Chinese factory has built 15 pre-production units.
These units are undergoing various dynamic tests to prove durability and
performance. Upon successful completion of such tests the Chinese factory
intends to commence production. The Joint Venture exhibited the ABC Taxi
(called "BUDDY" in China) at the Bejing auto exposition where it was favorably
received. The Chinese factory has limited orders from Taxi companies in
Jiaxing and other provinces as well as from Mongolia.
Interest income was substantially higher for the three months ended June 30,
1998 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997. The remaining
proceeds from the Company's public offering of July 1997, coupled with the
first installment of $2,550,000 from New Venture Gear on January 31, 1998
enabled the Company to earn interest of $92,808 for the most recent fiscal
quarter, as compared to $5,631 interest earned for the period ending June 30,
1997.
Interest expense of $6,479 for the most recent quarter was substantially less
than the $130,763 for the period ended June 30, 1997. The most significant
interest item for the period ended June 30, 1998 was interest associated with
$300,000 and $70,000 equipment notes, and to the points and fees associated
with the new $70,000 equipment note. Interest expense for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 was due to interest paid and accrued on the Company's bank
line of credit, the value of the warrants issued to the bank in connection
with the line of credit, the value of stock issued as additional consideration
in connection with a $900,000 bridge loan and accrued interest on the bridge
loan.

<PAGE>
A provision for federal and state income tax has been established for the 3
months ending June 30, 1998 in anticipation of owing federal taxes of $42,604
after applying any tax loss carryforwards. There was no tax liability for the
same period last year.
NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 VERSUS NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
During the nine months ended June 30, 1998, the Company had $5,654,853 in
revenue compared to $1,295,131 in revenue during the corresponding prior year
period. The increase in revenue was the result of an increase in license
revenue relating to the signing of a $5,100,000 license agreement with New
Venture Gear, a major tier one supplier. During the nine months ended June 30,
1997 the license revenue received was a $1,000,000 fee paid by Steyr-Daimler-
Puch-Fahrzeugtechnik GMBH, a large European automotive supplier.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, were approximately
$537,841 greater than the corresponding prior year period. Research and
development expenses increased by approximately $427,873 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding nine months ended June
30, 1997. The reasons for the increases are related to several factors.
Expenses directly related to the Gerodisc development increased material
expenditures by $31,433 as compared to the corresponding period in the
previous year.
Travel related to support exiting licensees as as well as continued support of
the European licensees increased travel expenses by $44,118 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1997.
Engineering salaries and benefits increased approximately $223,459 for the
current fiscal period as compared to the previous period, due to the hiring
of additional experienced engineering staff with expertise in project
management. Expenses associated with relocation, benefits and moving of new
research and development engineers were approximately $20,000. Computer
related expense increased by $25,193 for the installation and training of new
engineering software.
Selling and General and Administrative expenses increased by approximately
$169,909 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the nine
months ended June 30, 1997. Expenditures associated with the contractual
employment agreement and separation agreement for the former CEO accounted for
approximately $21,000. Sales expenses increased by approximately $59,546 due
to the Company's increased marketing effort in the international and domestic
market place. Increased expenses associated with the shareholders meeting and
mailings due to additional shareholders of record, and additional board
members accounted for $24,937 of the increase. Salaries increased by $25,567
due to the addition of a network administrator. Increased travel expenses
associated with additional board members and sales and marketing effort
accounted for approximately $17,353. Approximately $64,645 of the increase is
attributed to the public relations consultant retained by the Company.
The Company recorded a net loss of $(473,812) from investment in affiliate
during the nine months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to a net loss of
$(339,671) for the nine months ended June 30, 1997. For the prior
corresponding period the total investment was approximately $679,342.
Actual expenditures for the joint venture have decreased by approximately
$205,530 ($679,342 less $473,812)as compared to the same period last year. The
decrease is primarily due to the transfer of technology to the Chinese
operation.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Interest income of $220,239 was substantially higher for the nine months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to the interest income of $10,744 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1997. The remaining proceeds from the Company's public
offering coupled with the first installment of $2,550,000 from New Venture
Gear received January 31, 1998 enabled the Company to earn substantial
interest for the first nine months of the current fiscal year.
Interest expense of $20,732 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 was
substantially less than the $286,119 paid for the nine months ended June 30,
1997. The most significant interest item for the current period is points and
fees associated with the renewal of the Company's $750,000 credit line and
points and fees associated with a new $300,000 note to finance engineering
hardware and software, and a new $70,000 note to finance fabrication hardware
and software. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30,1997 was due
to interest paid and accrued on the Company's bank line of credit, the value
of the stock issued as additional consideration in connection with $900,000
bridge loan and accrued interest on the bridge loan.
The net income of $2,847,570 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 was
substantially more than the net loss of $(1,261,320) for the nine months ended
June 30, 1997. The $5,100,000 revenue from the license agreement signed in the
second quarter of the current fiscal year is the primary contributor to
current year profits. For the corresponding period last year revenues were
only $1,295,131. The Company anticipates the current licensing agreement to be
sufficient to maintain a profit position for the fiscal year, however there
are no assurances that any new licenses will be signed. Expenses for the next
three months are not expected to increase substantially from the level for the
first nine months.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had a positive working capital of
approximately $6,698,186 compared to positive working capital of approximately
$3,344,000 at September 30, 1997. The Company's working capital is primarily
attributed to the $5,100,000 revenue recorded for the New Venture Gear license
agreement and the remaining proceeds of the public offering that the Company
closed in July of 1997.
On February 20, 1998, the Company renewed its $750,000 credit line with
Montecito Bank & Trust. As of June 30, 1998 the entire credit line of $750,000
was paid down to zero. Amounts under the credit line bear interest at the
prime rate, which is currently 8.5%, plus 1.0% and the credit line is
renewable on an annual basis. As of July 16, 1998, the annual rate of
interest for the credit line was 9.5%. On February 20, 1998 the Company
negotiated a 60 month $300,000 long-term note to partially finance the
acquisition of engineering Computer-Aided-Design software. Amounts under the
note bear interest at the prime rate plus 1.0%. On April 21, 1998 the Company
negotiated a 60 month $70,000 long-term note to partially finance the
acquisition of fabrication hardware and software. Amounts under the note bear
interest at 8.75%. As of July 16, 1998 the annual rate of interest for the
note is 9.5%. As of June 30, 1998, no amounts were outstanding on the line of
credit.
On January 5, 1998, the Company signed a license agreement with New Venture
Gear, a major tier one supplier. The agreement called for a $5,100,000 fee
payable in two equal installments due respectively on January 31, 1998 and
January 31, 1999. The Company received the first installment of $2,550,000 on
January 31, 1998 as per the payment schedule.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
With the cash from the NVG license and the remaining proceeds of the public
offering, the Company believes it will have sufficient liquidity to maintain
continued operations for the next twelve months.
Operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 provided $750,123
of net cash as compared to $(664,408) cash used in the nine months ended June
30, 1997. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was
primarily due to the first installment of $2,550,000 from the New Venture Gear
license agreement as compared to a increase in accounts receivable for the
prior corresponding period. The net profit of $2,847,570 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998, as compared to a net loss of $(1,261,320) for the
comparable period in 1997 had a significant effect on year ended 1997
operating cash activities.
Investing activities for nine months ended June 30, 1998 used $(944,975) of
cash. Approximately $(473,813) was attributed to the investment in ASHA-Taisun
joint venture as compared to $(681,519)in the corresponding period for the
nine months ended June 30, 1997. The reduction in expenditures for the joint
venture is due to continuing transfer of production responsibility to the
Chinese operation, thus reducing staff and support expenses at the Santa
Barbara location.
The increase in cash was $711,707 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to a increase of $340,478 for the nine months ended June 30, 1997.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents was the initial installment of
$2,550,000 from the New Venture Gear license agreement. In the corresponding
period last year the Company relied on its credit line and proceeds of the
$900,000 bridge loan.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Management has addressed the concerns of potential year 2000 computing
problems, both internally and with external parties, and believes that
significant additional costs will not be incurred because of this
circumstance.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
The Company has been notified by DANA Corporation ("DANA") that it has
terminated its license with the Company. The Company has notified DANA that it
may not sell or otherwise use the Gerodisc technology without a license, and
that should DANA do so it will be infringing on the Company's patents. In
addition, the Company's legal counsel believes that DANA is in material breach
of the license agreement and is using the Company's technology without giving
the Company due compensation. The Company intends to aggressively defend its
patents and, if necessary, litigate its claims against DANA. Such claims may
include unjust enrichment, fraud, as well as several claims relative to
business issues in the license agreement.
