                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
         prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
         10-Q and Article 10 of the Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
         include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
         accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and
         should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Financial Statements
         contained in the Company's Annual Report on form 10-K for the year
         ended September 30, 1994.  On October 3, 1994 the Company changed its
         fiscal year-end from September 30 to December 31.  A transition report
         as filed on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 1994.  In the
         opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
         accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
         included.  Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1995
         are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
         the year ended December 31, 1995.

3.       Stock Offering

         Effective as of January 5, 1995, the Company entered into a Share
         Purchase Agreement and Option Agreement with V'Power Corporation
         (VPC).  Pursuant to these agreements, the Company issued VPC on
         January 15, 1995, 18,333,333 shares of Common Stock for $5.5 million
         and on April 17, 1995 sold to VPC for $500,000 a twelve-month option
         to acquire an additional 50 million shares of Common Stock for $.43
         per share.  Fees for legal, investment banking, consulting and
         advisory services incurred for the stock offering totaling $409,092
         were charged against capital in excess of par.

4.       Other Receivable

         In January, 1995, a settlement was reached for $125,385 regarding the
         1992 complaint against the Company for breach of contract.  The
         balance of the $357,000 appeal bond was returned to the Company.

5.       Commitments

         In November 1994, the Company and automobili Lamborghini, S.p.A.
         (Lamborghini) entered into an agreement whereby Lamborghini would
         develop and sell to the Company a suitable engine to power the Avtech
         which will be completed during 1995 in exchange for certain
         consideration.  In addition, the Company shall pay to Lamborghini the 
         cost of tooling used to manufacture the engine.  Upon successful 
         development of the engine suitable for installation and operation, the
         Company also agreed to purchase a minimum number of engines through 
         1997 for a pre-determined price (subject to increases in cost of 
         production). The Company may, upon prior written notice to 
         Lamborghini, terminate the agreement at any time.

6.       Contingencies

         On March 22, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors (The Board)
         determined that Gerald A. Weigert's (the former President of the
         Company) employment as an officer and employee of the Company should
         be terminated.  Mr. Weigert disputed the Board's authority to
         terminate his employment and refused to relinquish control over the
         Company's assets and operations.  This dispute between the Company,
         acting through its Board and certain executive officers, and Mr.
         Weigert is the subject of an ongoing civil lawsuit which was commenced
         by the Company on March 24, 1993.



                                       6


<PAGE>   8

On September 14, 1993, the Company obtained a court order confirming the
validity of Mr. Weigert's termination, and control of the Company's assets and
business affairs has been returned to the Board.  Significant claims made by
the Company against Mr. Weigert, and by Mr. Weigert against the Company,
seeking monetary damages, are pending.  In the opinion of management, these
claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition.

Mr. Weigert also alleges that the Company has failed to pay principal and
accrued interest under two promissory notes allegedly payable by the Company to
Vector Car, a partnership controlled by Mr. Weigert.  At March 31, 1994, the
Company had recorded amounts due relating to the promissory notes mentioned
above totaling $178,200 plus accrued interest of $47,207.  This claim is being
disputed by the Company.

In June 1994, an individual both in his name and under his dba, (the
Plaintiff), filed a complaint against the Company in the Los Angeles County
Superior Court.  The complaint sets forth six claims for breach of contract,
fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of implied covenant of good faith
and fair dealing, restitution and quantum merit.  The complaint alleges that
Plaintiff performed services with respect to a public offering and that under
the terms of a finder's agreement, the Plaintiff is entitled to compensation
for services allegedly rendered in connection with the public offering.  The
Plaintiff is seeking special damages of $155,000 plus interest from August 19,
1991.  The Company believes that it will prevail in its defense of this action.

In 1994, Mr. Weigert, as general partner of Vector Car, filed an action
alleging that the Company assumed a Vector Car debt to him, in the approximate
sum of $325,000.  Vector Car has also alleged that the Company has a promissory
note due in the amount of $250,000 to Vector Car.  The Company will vigorously
defend this action believing that it has performed on all agreements with Vector
Car.

Mr. Weigert has filed an application with the United State Patent and Trademark
Office to register Avtech as a trademark.  The Company is opposing Mr.
Weigert's application.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

General

Development of the Avtech SC Coupe has continued on plan during the first six
months of 1995.  Preliminary bumper and roof crush testing has been
successfully completed.  In addition, engine development to satisfy emission
requirements has been undertaken through the design and development contract
with automobili Lamborghini in Italy and the Company is now preparing for the
submission of a vehicle for EPA certification.  Testing at the high speed test
facility at Nardo in southern Italy has verified satisfactory engine cooling
performance as well as satisfactory high speed stability.

Based on the Company's plan to establish a national network of 12 dealers by
year-end to support the marketing of the Avtech, there has been considerable
dealer development activity.  This has generated serious interest from
approximately 40 suitable outlets.

Based on the plan established at the start of the year, the Company is still in
compliance with the prototype build program, leading to a start of production
next quarter.

Results of Operations

The Company recorded no automobile sales during the six months ended June 30,
1995 and 1994.  Revenues for 1994 consisted of service and repair work.

Total costs and expenses for the second quarter of 1995 increased $249,096, or
approximately 17% compared to the second quarter of 1994, and $606,414 or 24%
year-to-date in 1995 compared to 1994, due to the increased research and
development activity and general and administrative expenses.

Total costs spent on research and development for the second quarter of 1995
were $948,588 as compared to $863,054 in 1994, an increase of $85,534.  Total
costs spent on research and development year-to-date in 1995 were $1,733,769
compared to $946,223 year-to-date in 1994.

Salaries and wages for the second quarter of 1995 decreased by $58,325 or 37%
from the second quarter of 1994 and decreased $41,343 or 16% for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 compared to 1994.  The sole reason for these decreases was
severance costs paid during the second quarter of 1994.

Professional fees have increased $58,236 or 43% from the second quarter of 1995
compared to the second quarter of 1994 due primarily to timing of payment of
legal fees incurred in connection with the Company's litigation with its former
President in 1994.  Year-to-date these costs were $63,092 lower than last year.

General and administrative expenses increased by $234,489 or 162% in the second
quarter of 1995 compared to the second quarter of 1994 as a result of



                                       8
<PAGE>   10

the reduction in workforce and related expenses which occurred during the
second quarter of 1994 in anticipation of the Company's relocation in 1994 to
Jacksonville, Florida.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As previously reported, the Company entered into an agreement in January 1995
from which $5.5 million, net of stock offering costs, was received.  As of June
30, 1995, the balance of the Company's cash and equivalents is approximately
$2.5 million.  Cash used during the first six months of 1995 has been primarily
for engineering research and development and tooling and payment of legal costs
related to the ongoing litigation with the Company's former President.

The Company continues to progress towards planned production launch and sale of
the Avtech SC in the fall of this year.  However, to insure the quality of the
product is not compromised, a reduction in the previously forecast rate of
production versus plan will most likely occur during the start-up phase of
production, resulting in lower than expected revenues in the fourth quarter of
1995.  In this event, additional funding of up to approximately $1 million will
be needed to sustain the Company's operations until early 1996 when it is
anticipated that car sales will create positive cash flow.  The Company is in
the process of investigating several alternative sources of financing.
However, there is no assurance that such financing will be available.
