Independent Auditors' Report

To the MotivePower Industries, Inc. Savings Plan and Participants:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
with fund information of the MotivePower Industries, Inc. Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits with fund information for the year ended December 31,
1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements referred to above present fairly in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules
listed in the table of contents as of December 31, 1998 and for the year ended
December 31, 1998 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                    MOTIVEPOWER INDUSTRIES, INC. SAVINGS PLAN
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       Description of the Company and the Plan

         MotivePower Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
         "Company") is a leader in the manufacturing of products for rail and
         other power-related industries. Through its subsidiaries, the Company
         manufactures and distributes engineered locomotive components and
         parts; provides locomotive fleet maintenance; overhauls and
         remanufactures locomotives; manufactures environmentally friendly
         switcher, commuter and mid-range DC and AC traction, diesel-electric
         and liquified natural gas locomotives; and manufactures components for
         power, marine and industrial markets. The Company's primary customers
         are freight and passenger railroads, including every Class I railroad
         in North America.

         On November 28, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets and
         liabilities of Jomar, an Illinois based manufacturer of locomotive
         brake rigging and other related components. The Jomar Plan was
         subsequently terminated. On December 2, 1997, the Company acquired all
         the outstanding shares of Microphor, a California based manufacturer of
         self-contained sanitation and waste retention systems. During 1998,
         $432,500 was converted into the Plan from the Microphor Plan which was
         merged into the MotivePower Plan.

         The following description of the MotivePower Industries, Inc. Savings
         Plan (the "Plan"), is provided for general information purposes only.
         Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
         description of the Plan.

         General

         The Plan is a defined contribution plan and is subject to the
         provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
         ("ERISA"). The Plan is administered by a Committee appointed by the
         Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The
         Committee, as named fiduciary, has all powers necessary to carry out
         the provisions of the Plan and to satisfy the requirements of any
         applicable law. The Committee establishes among other things the
         funding policy of the Plan. T. Rowe Price Trust Company (the "Trustee")
         serves as trustee of the Plan. The Trustee is custodian of the Plan's
         assets and invests all contributions to the Plan as directed by the
         Committee and/or the Participants. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan
         Services, Inc. (the "Record Keeper") serves as recordkeeper of the
         Plan.

         The Plan is composed of eight funds: the MotivePower Industries, Inc.
         Common Stock Fund which invests exclusively in the stock of
         MotivePower Industries, Inc.; the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund,
         which invests primarily in investment contracts issued by insurance
         companies and banks; the T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund, which
         invests in the stock of foreign companies; the T. Rowe Price Science &
         Technology Fund, which invests in companies in a wide range of
         industries including computers, genetic engineering, communications,
         health care and waste management; the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Income
         Fund, which invests in up to seven T. Rowe Price Funds selecting from a
         variety of income instruments including: treasuries, GNMAs, and high
         quality bonds, high yield bonds, foreign issues, and dividend paying
         stocks; the T. Rowe Price Short-Term Bond Fund, which invests in
         short-and intermediate-term securities, focusing on high quality
         treasuries, certificates of deposit, and finance industry bonds; the T.
         Rowe Price Spectrum Growth Fund, which invests in up to seven T. Rowe
         Price Funds



                                       6

         selecting from domestic and international stocks and money market
         securities; and a Participant Loan Fund. Participants may transfer
         balances between funds daily.

         The investments in the Plan are subject to market risk related to the
         underlying securities. The investments are distributed among various
         types of securities whose values will fluctuate.

         Participation

         Substantially all salaried and hourly employees regularly employed by
         the Company and not covered under the terms of collective bargaining
         agreements are participants in the plan. A Participant may complete an
         enrollment form whereby the employee authorizes regular salary
         deferrals for each pay period which the Company shall then contribute
         to the Plan. These contributions are excluded from the Participants'
         taxable income for federal income tax purposes until received as a
         withdrawal or distribution from the Plan. A Participant may direct the
         Company to increase or decrease the percentage of salary deferrals at
         any time. Such change will take effect as soon as practicable after
         written notice has been delivered.

         Contributions

         The Plan provides that a Participant may elect to defer up to the
         lesser of 15% of salary or the applicable limit established by Internal
         Revenue Service Code Section 402(g) ($10,000 for the 1998 calendar
         year). The Plan also provides that certain limitations may be imposed
         on Participant contributions in order to comply with statutory
         requirements.

         Effective January 1, 1997 the Company made basic contributions, in an
         amount equal to 1% of an eligible employee's gross salary and on July
         1, 1997 the Company increased those basic contributions to 2% of an
         eligible employee's gross salary. The Company basic contributions are
         in the form of Company stock. Beginning January 1, 1998 the Company
         made matching contributions, in the form of Company stock, of 50% of an
         eligible employee's contributions into the Plan to a maximum of 3% of
         eligible gross wages.

         Withdrawals

         Eligible Participants may be permitted to make withdrawals from the
         Plan subject to provisions in the Plan document. Inactive or terminated
         Participants may request a lump sum distribution. Amounts contributed
         through salary deferrals may be withdrawn by or distributed to a
         Participant only (1) upon termination of employment or (2) upon
         attaining the age of 59 1/2. Upon proof, to the satisfaction of the
         Committee, of an immediate and heavy financial need, amounts in the
         salary deferral account may be withdrawn for a hardship purpose.
         Certain income tax penalties may apply to withdrawals or distributions
         prior to age 59 1/2.

         Investment Elections

         Each Participant may direct salary deferral contributions to be
         invested in one or more of the eight funds described above. A
         Participant may change such allocation and/or transfer all or a portion
         of the value of his or her account, in minimum increments of 1% by
         notifying the Trustee. Investment of Company basic contributions may
         not be directed by the Participant while Company matching contributions
         may be redirected by the Participant once contributed into the Plan.



                                       7

<PAGE>   8



         Valuation

         All of a Participant's salary deferral contributions are credited to
         his or her account. The value of each of the separate funds is
         determined on each valuation date (daily). The Record Keeper then
         determines the value and increases or decreases each Participant's
         account to reflect his or her proportionate interest in each of the
         funds. A Participant's interest is represented by shares in each fund.
         Any cash or stock dividend received on shares of Company stock or any
         T. Rowe Price fund shall be allocated to Participants' accounts.

         Vesting

         Participants' salary deferral contributions and Company basic
         contributions are fully vested at all times. With respect to vesting of
         Company matching contributions, upon completion of five years of
         service or after attaining Normal Retirement Date (age 65) or by reason
         of disability or death, a Participant shall become fully vested.
         Participants are credited with years of service based on years of
         service with the Company, the previous parent of the Company,
         subsidiaries of the Company, and subsidiaries acquired through
         acquisitions depending on the terms of the acquisition agreement. A
         Participant with less than five years of service shall vest in Company
         matching contributions according to the following schedule:

                  Years of Service                   Vesting Percentage
                  ----------------                   ------------------
                  Less than 1                              0%
                  1 but less than 2                       20%
                  2 but less than 3                       40%
                  3 but less than 4                       60%
                  4 but less than 5                       80%
                  5 or more                              100%

         Amounts contributed through salary deferrals may be withdrawn by or
         distributed to a Participant only (1) upon termination of employment or
         (2) upon attaining the age of 59 1/2. Upon proof, to the satisfaction
         of the Committee, of an immediate and heavy financial need, amounts in
         the salary deferral account may be withdrawn for a hardship purpose.
         Certain income tax penalties may apply to withdrawals or distributions
         prior to age 59 1/2.

         Forfeitures

         When terminations of participation in the Plan occur, the nonvested
         portion of a Participant's account, as defined by the Plan, generally
         results in a forfeiture. Such forfeitures are available to reduce
         subsequent Company contributions to the Plan. At December 31, 1998 and
         1997, forfeitures totaled $37,966 and $278,293, respectively. However,
         if upon reemployment, the former Participant fulfills certain
         requirements, as defined in the Plan, the previously forfeited
         nonvested portion of the Participant's account will be restored through
         Company contributions or transfer from the forfeiture account.
         Participant forfeitures are invested in the T. Rowe Price Stable Value
         Fund.

         Loans to Participants

         The Plan allows for loans to Participants. A Participant may apply for
         and obtain a loan in an amount as defined in the Plan (not less than
         $1,000 and not greater than $50,000 or 50% of his or her vested account
         balance) from their account balance. Loans are generally repaid over a
         period not exceeding five years; however, the term of a loan for the
         purchase of a primary residence may exceed five years. Interest is
         charged at a rate deemed reasonable by the Committee.


                                       8

<PAGE>   9


         Payments of principal and interest are credited to the Participant's
         account. With the exception for loans initiated in a prior plan,
         Participants may have only one outstanding loan at any time.

         Plan Termination

         The Company has the right to suspend contributions to the Plan or to
         terminate or modify the Plan from time to time. In the event that the
         Plan is terminated or contributions by the Company are discontinued,
         each Participant's Company contribution account will be fully vested.
         Benefits under the Plan are provided solely from the Plan assets.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Basis of Accounting

         The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
         basis of accounting.

         Use of Estimates

         The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
         generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan
         Administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
         reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
         assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the
         reported amounts of changes in net assets available for benefits during
         the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

         Valuation of Investments

         The Plan's shares of common stock and registered investment companies
         are presented at fair market value, which is based on published market
         quotations. Loans to participants are valued at cost, which
         approximates fair value.

         Measurement Date

         Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.

         Expenses

         The Company has paid all costs and expenses incurred in the
         administration of the Plan.

         Payment of Benefits

         Benefits are recorded when paid.

3.       Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

         The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits
         as reflected in the financial statements to the Form 5500 for the 1998
         and 1997 Plan year:

         Amounts allocated to withdrawing Participants are recorded on the Form
         5500 for benefit claims that have been processed and approved for
         payment prior to December 31, but not yet paid as of that date.

4.    Tax Status

      The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on February 12, 1996 in
      which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed,
      was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
      Code and that therefore, the Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the
      Code as of December 31, 1995. The Plan has been amended since receiving
      the determination letter. However, the Plan Administrator believes that
      the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the
      applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no
      provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial
      statements.

5.    Investments Exceeding 5% of Net Assets

      The Plan's investments which exceeded 5% of net assets available for
      benefits are as follows:

6.    Subsequent Event

      One June 2, 1999, the Company agreed to merge with Westinghouse Air Brake
      Company ("WABCO"). The Company will be the surviving corporation. Each
      share of WABCO common stock will be converted into 1.3 shares of the
      Company's common stock. The merger is intended to be a tax-free
      reorganization for federal income tax purposes. The Company will account
      for the merger using the pooling of interests accounting method.
      Completion of the merger is subject to various conditions, including the
      approval of the merger by stockholders of each of the Company and WABCO.
      The impact of the merger on the Plan has not been determined.
