AMERICAN TIRE CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------- 

NATURE OF BUSINESS: American Tire Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("the 
Company"), was organized on January 30, 1995, to take advantage of existing 
proprietary and non-proprietary technology available for the manufacturing of 
specialty tires.  The Company has had limited operations since its 
organization and is a "development stage" company.  The Company is engaged in 
manufacturing, marketing, and distributing airless bicycle tires.  The 
Company's fiscal year end is June 30.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:  The accompanying financial statements have been 
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of 
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  
The Company has a very limited operating history, has not generated 
significant revenues to date and must be considered promotional and in its 
early development stages.  The Company started to ship limited amounts of 
products in January 1997.

On October 10, 1996, the Company closed its initial public offering having 
sold 344,083 shares of common stock for aggregate offering proceeds of 
$2,064,498. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon 
its ability to utilize the working capital from its initial public offering to 
carry out its business plan and to commence and continue operations.

On February 28, 1997, the Company acquired UTI Chemicals (Europe) Ltd., a 
United Kingdom company (UTI-UK).  The Company's financial records are 
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  
The financial records for UTI-UK are presented in accordance with United 
Kingdom accounting principles which may vary with GAAP.  In the opinion of 
management, any variances between these two standards are not material and do 
not affect the results of operations.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:  The Company recognizes revenue upon the shipment of 
product which started with limited shipments in January 1997.

INVENTORY:  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, using the 
first-in, first-out method.  The inventory at March 31, 1997 consists of 
finished goods purchased for resale at a cost of $131,285 and manufactured 
goods produced at a cost of $18,263.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:  Property, plant and equipment are recorded at 
cost.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the 
estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

                         ATC LIFE AND METHOD          UTI-UK METHOD
                         -------------------          -------------
Building                 40 years, straight line      25% on reducing balance
Equipment                5 years, straight line       15% on reducing balance
Furniture and fixtures   7 years, straight line       15% on reducing balance

UTI-UK depreciation is provided using annual rates promulgated by United 
Kingdom agencies.

NOTE B - RECEIVABLES - OFFICERS
- -------------------------------

In April 1995, the Company entered into subscription agreements with three of 
its officers to acquire an aggregate of 170,000 shares of common stock at a 
purchase price of $1.00 per share, in exchange for promissory notes bearing 
interest at 8% per annum, principal and interest payable in April 1998. At 
March 31, 1997, accrued interest receivable on these notes amounted to $7,209. 
The promissory notes were amended to become due no later than six months from 
the close of the Company's initial public offering (April 10, 1997). At March 
31, 1997 $45,000 was owed under these notes, which has been presented as a 
reduction of shareholders' equity.

NOTE C - TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT
- -------------------------------------

On June 5, 1995, the Company entered into a technology licensing agreement 
with a related company owned by certain shareholders of the Company.  This 
agreement provides the Company the exclusive license to use, sell and license 
the technology for manufacturing a wheel-tire assembly known as the "Dynamic 
Steerable Spring".  The agreement specifies that a royalty of either $1.00 per 
unit sold directly by the Company or eight percent (8%) of any royalty the 
Company should receive from any third party licensee to be paid quarterly.  At 
March 31, 1997, $19,571 has been advanced pursuant to and in anticipation of 
this agreement and is recorded in prepaid royalties.

NOTE D - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------

On March 31, 1997, UTI-UK owed $15,544 to Coronel Investments, Ltd. for funds 
advanced.  Terms include payment due in the normal course of business with no 
interest due on the funds advanced.


NOTE E - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- --------------------------------------

In November 1996, the Company received a commitment for a line of credit of 
$500,000 from a commercial lender for working capital and equipment 
purchases.  The line of credit will bear an interest rate of 3/4% over prime 
and will be secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory, equipment 
and a first mortgage on the Company's Ravenna facility.  At March 31, 1997, 
the Company owned $-0- against the line of credit.

At the request of Dennis Chrobak, the Company's President, the Company has 
accrued his monthly employment compensation for the period October 1996 
through March 1997. Mr. Chrobak has requested the Company to continue to 
accrue his monthly employment compensation until further notice.  Since 
January 1997, the Company has deposited $60,000 into a separate account until 
such time as the Company receives notice from Mr. Chrobak that he desires to 
receive it.

station, one 6-station, and one 12-station "centrifugal molding machines" and 
other related specialized manufacturing equipment to produce its products. The 
Company estimates that its current production equipment will provide the 
Company with a maximum production capability of approximately 2.5 million 
tires annually (based on three 8-hour shifts, 244 production days per annum).

     The Company is in the development stage and only recently began shipping 
limited quantities of product in January, 1997. The Company has had an 
operating loss of $1,630,012 since its inception due to the cost and expenses 
associated with beginning operations.  The Company's audited financial 
statements at June 30, 1996, contained a going concern modification as to the 
ability of the Company to continue.  The Company is currently operating at a 
loss of approximately $120,000 per month and expects operating losses to 
continue at such rate until such time as the Company begins to receive 
revenues from the sale of its products.

     At March 31, 1996, the Company had only been organized for thirteen 
months and had no significant operations, therefore management's discussion 
and analysis of the prior period ended March 31, 1996 with the current period 
ended March 31, 1997, would not be conducive to an understanding of the 
Company and its fiscal condition or have any meaningful significance.

     At March 31, 1997, the Company had current assets of $1,135,017, mostly 
consisting of cash of $727,881, trade receivables of $78,747, and inventory of 
$281,241.  Current liabilities were $115,162, almost half of which represented 
accrued salary due to one of the Company's officers.  The Company had a working 
capital surplus of $1,019,855 as of March 31, 1997, that should be sufficient 
to fund the Company's operations through September 1997, assuming the Company 
receives no revenues from the sale of product prior to such time.  Other than 
expenditures associated with the cost of producing product, the Company 
expects no significant capital expenditures during the next 12 months of 
operations.  Should the Company require additional working capital the Company 
could make draws against its line of credit of $500,000 from a commercial 
lender. The Company's line of credit bears interest at a rate of 3/4% over 
prime and is secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory, 
equipment and a first mortgage on the Company's Ravenna facility.  At March 
31, 1997, the Company had not made any draws against the line of credit.

     As indicated above, at March 31, 1997, the Company had sold a limited 
quantity of product and had revenues of $25,637, with cost of sales of $8,439, 
for a gross profit of $17,198.  General and administrative expenses for the 
three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997 totaled $421,769 and 
$815,981, respectively, while net loss for the same periods was $398,559 and 
$785,291, respectively.

     To meet the requested OEM design specifications the Company has developed 
a tire design based on utilizing a new elastomer shell technology in lieu of 
low density foam.  The Company still intends to market certain products 
utilizing low density foam, however, the Company believes that a substantial 
market exists for products produced utilizing the elastomer shell technology.

     With respect to potential purchasers of the Company's products the 
Company continues to work with Huffy Bicycle, Inc. to obtain approval on an 
elastomer shell tire that meets Huffy's design specifications.

     Currently, the Company has been working with Murray, Inc., to develop an 
elastomer shell tire for use in lawn and garden products and expects to have 
tires available for testing prior to July 31, 1997. Should the Company's 
elastomer shell tires successfully pass all of Murray's design specifications, 
Murray has indicated to the Company that Murray would require 1.6 million 
units for its lawn & garden and snowblower products for the period of 
September 1997 through August 1998.

     In addition, the Company has been working with J&B Importers, Miami, 
Florida, for aftermarket distribution of bicycle tires, and MTD, Cleveland, 
Ohio, a major supplier of riding lawn mowers to Sears.

     The Company has a technology development and license agreement with Hayes 
Wheels International, Inc. with respect to developing a tire-wheel assembly 
utilizing the Company's DSS Technology, for which a patent is pending.  With 
respect to the DSS Technology patent application, the United States Patent 
Office has notified the Company, through the Company's patent counsel, that 
the patent application contains allowable subject matter. 

     Effective February 28, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of 
UTI Chemicals (Europe) Ltd., a United Kingdom company ("UTI"), in exchange for 
200,000 shares of the Company's common stock and a cash payment of $400,000.  
UTI is a distributor of urethane bicycle tires and wheelchair tires in the 
United Kingdom and Europe.  The Company will continue to market low density 
foam tire products through UTI, which current markets bicycle tires through 
535 Michelin owned stores in the United Kingdom.
