                       NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements for Rotary Power
International, Inc. ("RPI") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, E-Drive Systems
Corporation ("E-Drive") and Pegasus Technologies Incorporated ("Pegasus, and
collectively with RPI and E-Drive, the "Company") have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-QSB. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. As of
September 30, 2000, Pegasus had no material transactions.

         Information as of December 31, 1999 included in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets has been derived from audited financial statements, but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

         The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.


NOTE 2:  SUPPLEMENTAL NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS

DEVIATION FROM PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         The Company did not make payments of $225,000 on the deferred
acquisition obligation due to John Deere Technologies International ("JDTI")
which payment was due on or prior to January 31, 1997. The Company was also
unable to make the annual payment of $500,000 due under the JDTI deferred
acquisition obligation due on January 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000. The Company is
still in negotiation with Deere & Company with regard to the fixed minimum
payments due to JDTI under the deferred acquisition obligation.


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company has commenced the production of engines in its New Jersey
plant. These engines will be pre-production units that will be delivered and
installed at customer locations and used for demonstrations and market
development.

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

         Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $31,200
which was, $7,961, or 20.3% less than $39,161 for the comparable period of 1999,
and reflected sales of discontinued engine lines by E-Drive.

         General and administrative costs for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 increased by $874,082 to $977,140 compared to the same period last year
of $103,058. The increase was primarily due to legal, accounting, consulting and
financing costs associated with the Company's overall increased corporate
activity.

         The loss from operations increased $577,053, from a loss of $446,230 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to a loss of $1,023,283 for the same
period in 2000, reflecting largely the expenses associated with the increased
activity of the Company.

         Net interest expense of $496,370 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 was marginally lower than that for the same period of 1999, which was
$505,280.

         As a result of the above, net loss increased to $1,487,131 in the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 from $974,010, or 53%, from the same period of
the previous year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the third quarter ended September 30, 2000, 330,000 shares were
purchased by assignees of Londonderry Capital Structuring Ltd. ("Londonderry")
pursuant to the subscription agreement between the Company and Londonderry (the
"Subscription Agreement"), resulting in proceeds to the Company of $59,400.
Additionally, a third-party assignee under the Subscription Agreement purchased
112,855 shares of Common Stock and paid cash in the aggregate amount of $1,129
for the shares that it purchased and executed a promissory note for the balance
of the purchase price. The note bears interest at 4% and matures on March 1,
2001.

         The Company has also issued a warrant to Londonderry which permits
Londonderry to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of
$0.25 per share. Under the terms of the warrant, Londonderry is permitted to
assign its right to purchase the shares upon exercise. During the third quarter
ended September 30, 2000, 500,000 shares were purchased by certain third-party
assignees upon Londonderry's exercise of a portion of the warrant, resulting in
proceeds to the Company of $125,000. An additional 250,000 shares were sold
resulting in proceeds to the Company of $62,500 during the third quarter;
however, the 250,000 shares were issued to the purchasers subsequent to
September 30, 2000.

         Management believes that the Company's cash position, together with the
net proceeds of up to $250,000 from a private placement currently being
conducted by the Company and the anticipated net proceeds of $528,452 from the
sale of the Company's remaining New Jersey Net Operating Loss, which sale is
anticipated to occur before the end of fiscal year 2000, will be adequate to
meet the Company's operating requirements for the balance of fiscal year 2000.
However, if the Company incurs any additional unanticipated expenses it will
need to seek additional financing from outside sources.

expectations of the Company that involve a number of risks and uncertainties and
should not be considered as guarantees of future performance. These statements
are made under the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially include interruption or cancellation of existing contracts, the

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         On August 11, 2000, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 300,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at $.25 per share to a consultant to the
Company and/or his designees. The warrant was issued in consideration of
services rendered to the Company by the consultant, and is exercisable for a
term of one year from the date of issue.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

         Effective July 31, 2000, the Board of Directors approved the formation
of an Advisory Board for the Company. Members will be selected for specific
experience and talents which complement those of the Company's Officers and
Board of Directors and will be appointed for a term of one year. Members of the
Company's Advisory Board do not participate in decisions made by the Board of
Directors or any of the Company's officers, but render consulting advice to the
Board and the officers on strategic planning and other related matters based
upon their individual areas of expertise.

         Each member of the Advisory Board will receive an option to purchase
10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock upon their appointment and an option
to purchase an additional 10,000 shares of Common Stock for their services in
each subsequent year and will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with serving on the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board
Members are expected to devote not more than ten to fifteen days per year to the
affairs of the Company, and in the event that a member devotes additional time
to the affairs of the Company at the Company's request, the Company will
compensate such member at a per diem rate or by the grant of additional options
to purchase shares in such amount as is mutually agreed to by the Company and
such member.

         The current members of the Advisory Board are William Partanen,
President of BG Technologies USA, Inc. and Albert Dowden, the recently retired
President of Volvo North America. They were both appointed in July, 2000.

         In August 2000, the Company entered into a non-exclusive manufacturing
licensing agreement (the "Licensing Agreement") with Rotary Power Enterprise,
Inc. ("RPE"), whereby the Company agreed to license to RPE the technology,
know-how and technical information required for RPE to manufacture the



                                      -8-

<PAGE>

Company's carbureted natural gas fueled Series 580 rotary engines ("Series 580
Engines"). In consideration of the license, the Company will receive a royalty
equal to five percent (5%) of the net sales price of each Series 580 engine sold
by RPE. The Licensing Agreement remains in effect unless and until an event of
default occurs thereunder and the Licensing Agreement is terminated by either
party in accordance with its terms. As a result of the execution of the
Licensing Agreement, the existing Engine Distributor Agreements between the
Company and RPE, which originally granted exclusive rights to RPE to distribute
the Series 580 Engines in certain specified markets, were amended to provide
that those rights are now non-exclusive.

         In September 2000, the Company executed a letter of intent with
West-Con Drilling Supplies Ltd. ("WDS") pursuant to which WDS has indicated its
intent to purchase one production prototype 2 Rotor Series 580 Engine generator
set (the "Generator Set") from the Company for a purchase price of $75,000.
Under the terms of the letter of intent, the delivery of the prototype Generator
Set is anticipated to occur on or about August 1, 2001, and, after the delivery
and successful demonstration of the prototype Generator Set, WDS has indicated
its interest in purchasing twenty-five to fifty additional Generator Sets over
the subsequent twenty-four to thirty months at an estimated aggregate purchase
price of $2,750,000 to $5,500,000; subject to WDS successfully obtaining the
financing necessary to purchase the Generator Sets. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the terms of the letter of intent is subject to the
negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement between the Company and WDS
and there can be no assurance that such a definitive agreement will be entered
into.

         In September 2000, the Company also signed a letter of intent with Safe
Boats International, LLC ("SBI"), pursuant to which SBI has indicated its intent
to purchase three production prototype 2 Rotor Series 70 diesel fueled rotary
engines (the "Diesel Engines"), from the Company for the purpose of installing
the Diesel Engines into SBI's boats. Under the terms of the letter of intent,
the Company will supply the first Diesel Engine at no cost to SBI and the
aggregate purchase price for the two subsequent engines will be $30,000. The
anticipated delivery date for the first Diesel Engine is on or about May 1,
2001, and the two subsequent Diesel Engines are anticipated to be delivered in
June and July, 2001. Subject to the successful delivery by the Company of the
three Diesel Engines and SBI's satisfaction with their performance, SBI intends
to purchase 75 to 150 additional Diesel Engines from the Company over the
subsequent twelve to twenty-four months at an estimated aggregate purchase price
of $1,500,000 to $3,000,000. The consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the terms of the letter of intent is subject to the negotiation and execution
of a definitive agreement between the Company and SBI and there can be no
assurance that such a definitive agreement will be entered into.

         On October 6, 2000, the Company authorized its legal counsel to prepare
the necessary legal documentation which will permit the Company to make an offer
to the holders of its outstanding 10.412% Bonds due December 15, 2007 (the
"Bonds") to exchange each $2.00 of principal of and accrued interest on the
Bonds for one share of the Company's Common Stock. Under the terms of the
exchange offer, the Bondholders will not be permitted to sell or transfer the
shares of Common Stock received in the exchange offer for a period of two years
after the closing of the exchange offer without the prior written consent of the
Company.

         In connection with the exchange offer, the Company will also be
soliciting consents from the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal
amount of the Bonds to amendments to the Bond indenture which will eliminate the
security interest of the Bondholders in any inventory and equipment acquired by
the Company after the closing date of the exchange offer and also eliminate the
Company's requirement to



                                      -9-

<PAGE>

deposit an amount equal to 50% of the principal of and accrued interest on the
Bonds with the Bond trustee by no later than December 31, 2000. The exchange
offer is subject to completion of appropriate offering documentation complying
with applicable securities laws. The Company anticipates that the offering
documents will be sent to Bondholders by mid-November, 2000 and that the offer
will remain open until at least December 14, 2000.

         In October, 2000, the Company executed a letter of intent with Road
Runner Equipment Repair ("RRE") pursuant to which RRE has indicated its intent
to purchase one production prototype 1007R rotary engine drive system (the
"Engine Drive System") from the Company at a purchase price of $12,000. Under
the terms of the letter of intent, the Company will assemble and test the
prototype Engine Drive System prior to delivering the prototype to RRE on or
about June 1, 2001. The Engine Drive System will be used by RRE for the purpose
of supplying power to RRE's hydraulic pumps. Subject to the successful delivery
and demonstration of the prototype Engine Drive System, RRE intends to purchase
twenty-five to fifty additional Engine Drive Systems from the Company over the
subsequent eighteen to twenty-four months at an estimated aggregate purchase
price of $300,000 to $600,000. The consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the terms of the letter of intent is subject to the negotiation and execution
of a definitive agreement between the Company and RRE and there can be no
assurance that such a definitive agreement will be entered into.
