NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.  These interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 financial
statements to conform with the 1995 presentation.

NOTE B - DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY

Prior to 1995 the Company had been a "development stage company"
for financial reporting purposes.  In 1995 the Company began to
increase activity at its San Marcos, Texas manufacturing facility
and is beginning to earn significant revenue from its intended
operations.  Accordingly, the Company no longer will report as a
"development stage company".

NOTE D - COMMON STOCK

In January 1995, the Company sold 2,051,282 shares of Common
Stock which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of
$3,000,000.  In addition, in March 1995, the Company sold 500,000
shares of Common Stock which resulted in net proceeds to the
Company of $1,000,000.


NOTE E - TECHNOLOGY LICENSE PAYABLE

During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company finalized the
Technology License Agreement with BDM Technologies, Inc. ("BDM").
Under the terms of this agreement, the Company obtained an
exclusive license to use certain technologies under development
by BDM for the manufacture of batteries.  The Company agreed to
pay BDM:  $80,000 cash, issue 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock in
thirty-six equal installments; issue 200,000 additional shares of
Common Stock if the Company decides to maintain the license
beyond the original three year term; grant 1,000,000 options to
purchase Common Stock exercisable at $4.00 per share; and buy
BDM's interest in a corporate joint venture ("HBTI"), previously
created by BDM and the Company, for 100,000 shares of Common
Stock.  During the first quarter of 1995, the Company issued
241,666 shares of Common Stock to BDM under the terms of this
agreement and recorded a $377,332 increase to shareholders'
equity with a corresponding reduction to the Technology License
Payable.

NOTE F - LICENSE FEES

During 1994, the Company and Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding
Co. Ltd. ("MES") signed a distribution agreement whereby MES
agreed to pay the Company $2,000,000 for distribution rights of
the Horizon battery in Japan and an option for a manufacturing
license.  The Company recognized $1,000,000 of this license fee
as revenue in the first quarter of 1995 and  $800,000 in the
third quarter of 1994.


NOTE G - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In April 1995 the Company completed an offering of 240
Convertible Debentures ("the Debentures") with a total value of
$6,000,000.  The net proceeds to the Company for the issuance of
the Debentures was $5,400,000.  Each $25,000.00 Convertible
Debenture is convertible into Electrosource, Inc., Common Stock,
par value $.10 per share.  The Conversion Price of the debentures
will be equal to 80 percent of the Market Price (average closing
price of the Common Stock for the five business days immediately
preceding such time as the debentures are converted).  Conversion
of 50 percent of the debentures may be effected 60 days after
issue and the remaining 50 percent 30 days thereafter subject to
earlier conversion upon certain events.  In addition, Warrants to
purchase 54,237 shares of Common Stock were issued at a price of
$3.6875 per share exercisable until April 5, 2000.


Results of Operations:

Revenues.  The Company had project revenue of approximately
$779,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to
$1,321,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1994.  The
project revenue in 1995 was all generated from an agreement with
the Chrysler Corporation for the retrofit of the Horizon Battery
for the NS mini-van program.  This agreement concluded in the
first quarter of 1995 and resulted in the selection of the
Company as the preferred supplier of batteries for the Chrysler
electric mini-van program.  This selection has resulted in an
arrangement whereby Chrysler may purchase up to $75 million of
Horizon batteries over a three-year period beginning in 1996.
The project revenue for the first quarter of 1994 was all
generated from an agreement with the Electric Power Research
Institute ("EPRI") for the development and commercialization of
the Company's proprietary advanced lead-acid battery. The EPRI
agreement ended in 1994; however, the Company is continuing to
pursue other project agreements.

For the three months ended March 31, 1995 the Company had
revenue, net of returns, of approximately $153,000 from sales of
the Horizon battery.  There was no revenue from battery sales in
the first quarter of 1994.  The Company substantially increased
the capacity of the San Marcos, Texas production facility in the
second half of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995 and expects
that this increase in capacity will result in increased battery
sales.  However, as the Company still continues to perfect the
battery design and manufacturing technology the timing of battery
sales can not be assured.

During 1994, the Company and Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding
Co. Ltd. ("MES") signed a distribution agreement whereby MES
agreed to pay the Company $2,000,000 for distribution rights of
the Horizon battery in Japan and an option for a manufacturing
license.  The Company recognized $1,000,000 of this license fee
as revenue in the first quarter of 1995 and  $800,000 in the
third quarter of 1994.

Costs and Expenses.  Costs and expenses increased substantially
in the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1994 as a result of the assumption of
operational control of the low rate initial production facility
in San Marcos, Texas in July 1994, and the subsequent increase in
operations at that facility.  The assumption of operational
control of the San Marcos facility corresponded with the decision
by the Company to become the North American manufacturer of the
Horizon battery.  Previously the Company planned to license the
manufacturing to third parties, and to use the San Marcos
facility as the first manufacturing plant in North America.  As
the manufacturer of the Horizon battery the Company began
incurring production costs for the first time in its history and
increased the sales, marketing and administrative staffs
significantly.  In addition, the Company is continuing efforts to
license the manufacturing and distribution of the Horizon battery
outside of North America resulting in additional marketing and
administrative expenditures.  The Company also plans to continue
to carry out research and development to improve the battery and
manufacturing process.  As a result of this change in corporate
focus, the Company expects that costs in all areas will continue
to increase for the foreseeable future; however, as production of
the battery increases the costs as a percentage of total revenue
will begin to stabilize.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

During the first three months of 1995 the Company sold 2,551,282
shares of Common Stock which resulted in net proceeds to the
Company of $4,000,000.  In addition, in April 1995 the Company
completed an offering of Convertible Debentures that resulted in
net proceeds to the Company of $5,400,000.  These funds will be
used to fund the substantially increased working capital and
capital expenditure needs of the Company necessitated by the
decision to become the North American manufacturer of the Horizon
battery.  Additional working capital and capital expenditures are
necessary to increase the production capacity of the San Marcos
facility to a level that management believes will demonstrate the
ability to manufacture the Horizon battery in commercial
quantities.  Once that level is achieved, management believes it
will still be necessary to continue to expand the capacity of the
San Marcos facility, begin development of additional plants in
North America, and to continue research and development of the
Horizon battery and the related technologies.  Accordingly,
management is continuing to devote substantial effort to pursue
additional funding sources.
