                             AIRSENSORS, INC.
            NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          July 31, 1996 and 1995
                              --------------

     (1)  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements 
are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal 
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary 
for the fair presentation and operating results for the interim periods.  
The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in 
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, 
together with management's decision and analysis of financial condition 
and the results of operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report 
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996.  The results of 
operations for the three months ended July 31, 1996 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending 
April 30, 1997.

     (2)  Acquisition

     Effective July 1, 1996, the registrant acquired certain assets of 
Ateco Automotive Pty. Ltd. ("Ateco") for approximately $6,500,000.  
Ateco, a private company in Australia, has distributed IMPCO's gaseous 
fuel carburetion systems and related devices for use with internal 
combustion engines since 1969 through its Gas Division near Melbourne, 
Australia.

     In order to effectuate the transaction, IMPCO established a wholly 
owned subsidiary in Australia, IMPCO Technologies Pty. Limited ("IMPCO 
Ltd."). The acquisition of Ateco has been accounted for under the 
purchase method of accounting and the acquired operations have been 
included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the 
date of acquisition. The assets acquired by IMPCO Ltd. primarily consist 
of receivables, inventory, equipment, a note, business goodwill, 
distribution rights in Australia, and a 50% interest in Ateco's sub-
distributor.  The amount of the consideration was determined through 
negotiations between Ateco and IMPCO Ltd.

     The purchase price was financed through approximately $4,000,000 of 
term loans provided by Bank of America NT&SA and its Sydney Australia 
branch.  The term loans are both three-year loans with a five-year 
amortization schedule and interest at market rates.  In addition, 
accounts receivables due to IMPCO by Ateco, totaling approximately 
$1,852,000, were also offset against the purchase price.  The balance of 
the purchase price was paid with proceeds from IMPCO's existing line of 
credit with Bank of America NT&SA.  The Company recognized approximately 
$3,601,000 of intangible assets arising from acquisition which will be 
amortized over 20 years.  The purchase price allocation is preliminary 
and based on management's best estimates at the acquisition date.  The 
tangible assets and liabilities have been recorded at their estimated 
fair values as the date of acquisition as follows:

ITEM 2    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operation

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Acquisition
- -----------
     Effective July 1, 1996, the Company acquired certain assets of Ateco 
for approximately $6,500,000.  Ateco, a private company in Australia, has 
distributed IMPCO's gaseous fuel carburetion components and systems and 
related devices for use with internal combustion engines since 
approximately 1969 through its Gas Division near Melbourne, Australia.  
The acquisition of the Gas Division has been accounted for under the 
purchase method of accounting. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet 
of AirSensors, Inc. as of July 31, 1996 includes the accounts of the 
Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, IMPCO Technologies, Inc., (IMPCO), 
IMPCO's wholly owned subsidiary IMPCO Technologies, Pty. Ltd. and IMPCO's 
majority-owned subsidiary IMPCO Europe Media B.V.

Net Revenue
- -----------
     The Company continued to experience growth during the three months 
ended July 31, 1996, with net revenue increasing by $3,011,000 or 25% to 
$15,149,000, compared to $12,137,000 during the three months ended July 
31, 1995.  During the three months ended July 31, 1996, product sales and 
contract revenue increased by approximately 20% and 184%, respectively.  
The following table sets forth the Company's product sales by application 
(all dollars in thousands):

     During the three months ended July 31, 1996 net revenue attributable 
to the Company's motor vehicle products increased by $1,212,000 or 31% as 
compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The following 
table sets forth the Company's worldwide motor vehicle product sales by 
application, (all dollars in thousands):

                                            Three months ended July 31,

                                              ==========   ==========

     During the three months ended July 31, 1996, sales for the Company's 
motor vehicle component parts increased by 7% as compared to the same 
period in the prior fiscal year. Revenue attributable to upfitting 
vehicles with the Company's systems for aftermarket fleet use increased 
by approximately $950,000 which resulted primarily from the installation 
of specifically engineered LPG systems on F150 and F250 pick-up trucks 
for Ford Motor Company.  The Company substantially completed this program 
in the current quarter and management does not anticipate another 
upfitting program until the third quarter of the current fiscal year.  
Management expects that this decrease in revenue will have an unfavorable 
effect on the Company's earnings for the second quarter.  However, 
management anticipates that motor vehicle revenue will be higher during 
fiscal year 1997 as compared to fiscal year 1996 primarily as a result of 
its Australian acquisition and other upfitting and sales activities 
expected in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 1997.

     During the three months ended July 31, 1996, sales for the Company's 
forklifts and other material handling equipment increased by 5% as 
compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This increase is 
primarily attributable to the Company's European operations.  Sales 
attributable to the Company's domestic operations were lower primarily 
due to a decrease in the material handling industry demand for new 
forklifts.  Management anticipates that the revenues provided by forklift 
and other material handling equipment market for fiscal year 1997 will be 
comparable to fiscal year 1996.

<PAGE>10

     During the three months ended July 31, 1996, sales for the Company's 
small portable to large stationary engines increased 45% as compared to 
the same period in the prior fiscal year.  This increase was primarily 
attributable to an increased demand for large and small power generator 
units used in power replacement and recreational applications.  
Management anticipates that the market for the Company's small portable 
to large stationary engines in fiscal year 1997 will be stronger than 
fiscal year 1996.

     During the three months ended July 31, 1996, contract revenue 
increased by $628,000 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal 
year.  This increase was due to the extension of the development contract 
with General Motors Corporation (GM) in August 1995.  Future contract 
revenue will be contingent upon the Company's success in securing new 
development contracts.  Management anticipates that contract revenue 
during the second quarter of the current fiscal year will be lower than 
levels experienced during the current quarter and the second quarter of 
the previous fiscal year.  Management is in the process of negotiating 
additional contracts that if signed would generate comparable or higher 
contract revenue in the current fiscal year compared to fiscal year 1996.

     During the three months ended July 31, 1996, the Company's product 
sales were generated in the following geographic regions:

                                                 Three months ended July 31,

     Latin America                                      7%           7%

Cost of Sales
- -------------
     During the three months ended July 31, 1996, cost of sales as a 
percent of product sales remained comparable to the percent realized 
during the same period in the prior fiscal year.  During the current 
quarter the Company's gross profit margin on product sales was favorably 
impacted by it European operations.  This contribution was offset by 
lower profit margins on upfitting motor vehicles.

Research and Development
- ------------------------
     Research and development ("R&D") expense for the three months ended 
July 31, 1996, increased $504,000 (28%) as compared to the same period in 
the prior fiscal year.  This increase was primarily for application and 
development of the Company's products under the GM contract and included
component and durability testing associated with future vehicle 
commercialization.  Management believes the Company's future success depends
on its ability to design, develop and market new products to meet mandated
emission standards and will therefore continue to incur significant R&D 
costs in this area also.  Management anticipates that R&D expenses during 
fiscal year 1997 will be higher than the levels experienced during fiscal 
year 1996 due to new product development.

<PAGE>11

Selling General and Administrative
- ----------------------------------
     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the three 
months ended July 31, 1996, increased $831,000 (45%) as compared to the 
same period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase in SG&A expense was 
primarily due to the inclusion of Media's SG&A expenses.  Management 
anticipates that SG&A expense during fiscal year 1997 will increase 
significantly as compared to fiscal year 1996 primarily as a result of 
the Company's recently acquired foreign operations. This increase makes 
the Company's financial performance more sensitive to sales fluctuations 
which may occur quarter to quarter.

Financing charges
- -----------------
     Financing charges for the three months ended July 31, 1996, 
increased $148,000 (195%) as compared to the same period in the prior 
fiscal year.  This increase is primarily the result of loans associated 
with the acquisition of the Company's foreign operations and the 
increased use in the line of credit.  Management anticipates that 
financing charges for fiscal year 1997 will increase as compared to 
fiscal year 1996 as a result of the recent acquisitions and debt service 
on the Company's line of credit.

Outlook:  issues and risks:
- ---------------------------
     The preceding discussion includes management's outlook for revenues 
and expenditures.  The Company faces a number of risks and uncertainties 
that should also be considered in evaluating its short and long term 
outlook.  These risks include, among others, the following:  (1) the 
Company's ability to obtain regulatory certification for vehicle 
applications in the United States,  (2) continued world-wide legislation 
enforcing environmental laws which regulate emission standards and energy 
independence,  (3) the Company's ability to secure future development 
programs,  (4) world-wide economic trends that influence geographic price 
disparities between gasoline and alternative fuels,  (5) fluctuations in 
the foreign exchange rates causing purchases from the United States to 
become undesirable,  (6) the Company's ability to hire, train, and retain 
qualified personnel, (7) uncontrollable changes in the timing of new 
product introductions or new applications by customers which utilize the 
Company's products, and (8) growth rates in foreign markets.  In 
addition, current economic forecasts may deviate from actual economic 
conditions and unfavorably impact the Company's performance.  The Company 
is not currently aware of any significant new competitors, however the 
Company could be adversely affected by the expansion of existing 
competitors, increased price competition, or entry of new competition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     During the three months ended July 31, 1996, cash provided by 
operations, excluding working capital was $1,430,000 or $243,000 higher 
than the same period in the prior fiscal year.  During the current 
quarter, the Company's operations had a net use of working capital of 
approximately $1,223,000 which was an increase of $1,098,000 as compared 
to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The most significant 
changes in the Company's current assets and current liabilities during 
the three months ended July 31, 1996, were an increase in accounts 
receivable and a decrease in other accrued expenses of $1,279,000 and 
$529,000, respectively, which were partially offset by an increase in 
accounts payable of $376,000.  The increases in accounts receivable and 
accounts payable are primarily a result of the inclusion of the accounts 
of the Company's recent Australian acquisition.  The decrease in accrued 
expenses was a result of disbursements in payroll obligations and other 
normal operational payments.

     Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended July 31, 
1996 was $4,866,000 compared with $595,000 for the same period in the 
prior fiscal year.  Investing activity principally included the purchase 
of certain assets from Ateco in Australia which resulted in a net use of 
cash of approximately $4,655,000.  Management projects an increase in 
capital expenditures during the remaining three quarters of fiscal year 
1997, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year primarily 
as a result of planned increases in dies, molds and patterns, and capital 
expenditures by the Company's recent foreign acquisitions.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended 
July 31, 1996, was $5,414,000 as compared to net cash used by financing 
activities of $483,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year.  
Financing activities principally included the securing of term loans with 
Bank of America NT&SA and its Sydney Australia branch of $2,000,000 and 
A$2,500,000 (US$ 1,934,000), respectively and net borrowing on the line 
of credit of $2,100,000.  During the current quarter the Company 
increased it's borrowings under the operating line of credit primarily 
for current operations, both domestically and foreign.  The Company made 
payments of $184,000 on the term loan to finance the Company's European 
operation.  Although the Company has made no material commitments for 
future capital expenditures, it expects to incur significant expenditures 
relating to facilities and product development for the production of its 
existing and future products.  The Company expects to fund a major 
portion of these expenses from cash generated from operations and by use 
of its operating line of credit.

      In June 1996, IMPCO entered a new credit facility with the Bank of 
America by adding a $2,000,000 term loan for the Australian acquisition.  
The total Bank of America credit facility is $15,575,000, including the 
$8,000,000 revolving line of credit, the $2,050,000 term loan related to 
the acquisition of Media and the $3,525,000 capital lease facility.
