FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



This Annual Report on Form 10-K/A contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Statements about our
plans, intentions and expectations are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, our beliefs and assumptions. We use words such as anticipate, expect,
intend, plan, believe, seek, estimate and variations of these words and similar expressions to help identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance or courses of actions and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or
forecasted in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those described in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsRisk Factors and elsewhere in this
Annual Report. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our view only as of the date of the filing of this Annual Report.



EXPLANATORY NOTE



The purpose of this second amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A is to restate the audited financials of IMPCO Technologies, Inc. (the Company,
we, us or our) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, to reflect certain amounts on our financial statements identified by us as errors during the third quarter of 2005. We determined that on the
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 goodwill, investment in affiliates, minority interest liability and accumulated deficit were incorrectly stated and are amended therein. Consequently, on the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2004, total assets, total stockholders equity and total liabilities and stockholders equity are restated. On the consolidated statements of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004, we
determined that impairment loss of goodwill and minority interest in income of consolidated subsidiary were incorrectly stated and are amended therein. Consequently, on the consolidated statements of operations for the fourth quarter and the full
year 2004, total costs and expenses, operating income, loss from continuing operations before income taxes and equity share in income of unconsolidated affiliates, loss from continuing operations before minority interest, minority interest in income
of consolidated subsidiaries, net loss, and basic and diluted loss per share are restated. We have also restated the business segment disclosure in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (MD&A). We have been requested by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) to incorporate in all our future filings with the SEC recommended changes that enhance and improve the quality of our financial
reporting and related disclosures. In this regard, we have incorporated the recommended changes in this second amendment to our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.



The Items of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 which are amended and restated herein
are:



| | 1. | Item 7MD&A, has been amended to reflect the classification of the impairment loss of goodwill, previously reported as part of Corporate, to the International Operations
business segment.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Three Months and Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004.



|-a | Goodwill impairment loss for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004 reported on the previously reported statement of operations was understated by
approximately $1.5 million due to inadequate account reconciliation and review by management. During the fourth quarter of 2004, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.3 million related to our Mexican and Japanese operations and failed
to record an impairment charge against other amounts also related to the Mexican and Japanese operations that we later determined were, in fact, goodwill. It was our intent to fully impair all goodwill related to these operations during the fourth
quarter of 2004 and, accordingly, we believe that it is appropriate to restate the statements of

| | operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004 to reflect the additional goodwill impairment.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|-b | We determined that approximately $0.1 million of minority interest in losses related to our Mexican operation on the statement of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31,
2004 was incorrectly recorded due to the incorrect application of an accounting standard that provides for the majority owner in a subsidiary to absorb all losses in the event that the losses applicable to the minority holder exceed the minority
holders share of the subsidiarys equity capital.
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|-c | The restated net losses for the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 of approximately $17.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively, represent an increase of
approximately $1.6 million in additional losses as compared to the previously reported losses for the same periods. Loss per share of common stock increased $0.08 per share from a loss of $0.88 per share to $0.96 per share for the three months ended
December 31, 2004 and the loss increased from $0.77 to $0.85 per share, or $0.08, for the full year ended December 31, 2004.

Notes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004.



|-a | The carrying value of goodwill and investment in affiliates was overstated on the previously reported consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 by approximately $0.9 million and
$0.6 million, respectively. The impairment analysis performed in the fourth quarter of 2004 on our Mexican and Japanese operations indicated that the total goodwill allocated to these reporting units should be impaired during the fourth quarter of
2004. We determined during the third quarter of 2005 that we had not properly aggregated and recorded the correct goodwill amounts with respect to these operations as an impairment loss of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2004. The restated
balances at December 31, 2004 do not include any goodwill in relation to these operations.
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|-b | The carrying value of minority interest on the previously reported consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 was understated by approximately $0.1 million due to our failure to
recognize, as the majority interest holder in our Mexican operation, in our consolidated financial statements, losses related to the 10% minority interest holder that had exceeded the minority interest holders capital. We did not correctly
apply an accounting standard that provides for the majority owner in a subsidiary to absorb all losses in the event that the losses applicable to the minority holder exceed the minority holders share of the subsidiarys equity capital.

|-c | Accumulated deficit on the previously reported consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 was understated by approximately $1.6 million. Accordingly, the restated accumulated
deficit increased by approximately $1.6 million.

Note to the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders Equity As of December 31, 2004.



|-a | Stockholders equity decreased by approximately $1.6 million on the consolidated statement of stockholders equity as a result of the correction of errors that increased net loss by
the same amount. Similarly, comprehensive loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 increased by approximately $1.6 million.

We have reviewed our processes and procedures and have determined that there was inadequate review and oversight by management in the areas of account
reconciliation and analysis. Historically, we have recorded business acquisition costs and related goodwill as part of our consolidating working papers. Certain accounts related to goodwill, investment in affiliates and minority interest were not
analyzed completely or adequately in order to be applied properly in the context of an impairment analysis. We intend to implement push-down accounting, as appropriate, to simplify the accounting processes and prevent the reoccurrence of a material
misstatement in our financial statements. Accordingly, we have reported a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.



We classify our business into two business segments: U.S. Operations and International
Operations. We also classify general and administrative expenses that are not allocable to a business segment as a corporate expense. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we erroneously recorded the impairment loss of goodwill of $330,000 related to
Mexico and Japan as a corporate expense, whereas the correct classification should have been a charge against international operations. The following table sets forth the restated business segment analysis that is integral to the MD&A and
certain note disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.

|Item 1. | Business.
|------- | ---------



Overview



We design, manufacture and supply alternative
fuel products and systems to the transportation, industrial and power generation industries on a global basis. Our components and systems control the pressure and flow of gaseous alternative fuels, such as propane and natural gas, for use in
internal combustion engines. Our products improve efficiency, enhance power output and reduce emissions by electronically sensing and regulating the proper proportion of fuel and air required by the internal combustion engine. We also provide
engineering and systems integration services to address our individual customer requirements for product performance, durability and physical configuration. For more than 46 years, we have developed alternative fuel products. We supply our products
and systems to the market place through a global distribution network of over 400 distributors and dealers in 55 countries and 100 original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs.



Customers use our components and systems on engines ranging from one to 4,000 horsepower. We provide gaseous fuel components, systems
and certified gaseous fueled engines to the industrial transportation and the power generation markets.



We offer our products to a number of OEMs in the industrial, transportation and power generation industries of power systems that use clean burning gaseous fuels,
which we believe decreases fuel costs, lessens dependence on crude oil and reduces harmful emissions in internal combustion engines. We offer an array and combination of common components to assemble fuel conversion kits and systems to these
customers.

| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Taxi companies, transit and
shuttle bus companies, and delivery fleets of companies such as Coca-Cola, Frito-Lay, Pepsi Cola and United Parcel Service are among our most active customers. Small and large industrial engine users capitalize on the cost benefits of using
alternative fuels and their low-pollutant capabilities. For example, forklift users often operate equipment indoors where toxic emissions are a concern. Because of the global price differential worldwide in favor of gaseous fuels compared to
gasoline, their availability in third-world markets and their lower pollutants, the alternative fuel industry market potential is growing rapidly. As of December 31, 2004, approximately 45% of our revenue is derived from sales outside the United
States.



We were incorporated in Delaware in 1985 after having provided
automotive and alternative fuel solutions in a variety of organizational structures since 1959.

Net consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 were approximately $118.3 million with a net loss of approximately $15.9 million. As described below in more detail, we completed several material capital transactions in which we paid off a $20.0M loan to Bison Capital Structured
Equity Partners, LLC (Bison); entered into a loan agreement with MTM, S.r.l. (MTM), a wholly owned subsidiary of B.R.C. Societá a Responsabilitá Limitata (BRC), an Italian company; completed a public
equity offering for the sale of 4,600,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to a $60.0 million shelf registration statement; and completed our acquisition of the remaining 50% of the outstanding equity interest of BRC not currently held by us on
March 31, 2005.



Recent Developments



Business Acquisition



In a series of related transactions between October 2, 2003 and July 29, 2003, we acquired 50% of BRCs equity from two of its
founders, Mariano Costamagna and Pier Antonio Costamagna. The aggregate price for the purchase of the initial 50% equity interest was $23.8 million. On October 22, 2004, we entered into an agreement to purchase the remaining 50% equity interest from
those same individuals using a combination of cash and stock. The terms of the transaction include a cash payment of approximately $10.0 million and an issuance of 5,098,284 shares of our common stock. As of October 22, 2004, the date of the BRC
acquisition agreement, the value of that consideration was approximately $37.6 million based on a stock price of approximately $5.40. Based on the last reported sale of our common stock as of March 24, 2005 of the value of the consideration to be
received by the founders was approximately $36.3 million. On March 10, 2005, our stockholders approved the issuance of 5,098,284 shares of our common stock to be used as part of the purchase price for the acquisition of the 50% remaining ownership
of BRC. The BRC purchase transaction was completed and closed on March 31, 2005.



On December 23, 2004 we entered a loan agreement with MTM pursuant to which we borrowed $22.0 million. The loan proceeds were used to retire all debts and related obligations we had incurred pursuant to a Securities Purchase
Agreement dated July 18, 2003 with Bison. The MTM loan carries an interest rate equal to 3-month EURIBOR plus 1.5% per annum, which totaled approximately 3.7% as of December 31, 2004. The MTM loan matures on December 31, 2009 and will be repaid in
quarterly installments beginning April 1, 2005, each payment in the amount of not less than $0.65 million in the first two years, $0.8 million in the third year, $1.0 million in the fourth year and $1.15 million in the final year, with a $5.0
million balloon payment of the remaining unpaid principal and interest due on December 31, 2009. This loan may be accelerated in the event that any payment is not made within 15 days of the date when due, if the employment of Mariano
Costamagna is terminated for any reason (with certain exceptions for termination upon Mr. Costamagnas death), if we materially breach his employment agreement or upon written notice of any other default under the agreement. Using proceeds from
the MTM loan, we repaid the Bison loan on December 30, 2004 in the amount of $20.0 million plus a prepayment penalty of $1.0 million. As a result of our prepayment, we are required under generally accepted accounting principles to take a charge to
income representing the amount of the unamortized portion of the original issue discount and the unamortized issuance costs, which were approximately $2.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively. These charges, including the prepayment penalty of
$1.0 million, were recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the fourth quarter of 2004.

On February 4, 2005, we sold 4,000,000 shares of our common stock as part of a public offering to investors and
realized net proceeds of approximately $20.6 million inclusive of approximately $1.0 million of issuance expenses. On February 11, 2005, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and we sold an additional 600,000 shares from which we
received additional net proceeds of approximately $3.2 million. Approximately $10.0 million of the proceeds from the public offering were placed in an escrow account for use as partial consideration in the acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership
of BRC.



Management Transition



Effective January 1, 2005, Mariano Costamagna, the principal executive officer of BRC
became our new Chief Executive Officer, and on the same date, Mr. Robert Stemmler, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, resigned as our Chief Executive Officer. Robert Stemmler has been a director since May 1993 and the Chairman of the Board of
Directors since June 1998. Mr. Stemmler also served as our President and Chief Financial Officer from May 1993 through December 31, 2004. Mr. Stemmler was a full time employee consultant to support the transition to a new CEO until March 17, 2005,
when his consulting relationship was changed. A revision to the employee consulting agreement is now being prepared to re-define Mr. Stemmlers consulting role.



Relocation of Research and Development Facility



On March 14, 2005, management announced its intention to relocate research and development activities to its Cerritos, California manufacturing facility and close
the Seattle, Washington facility. Upon subsequent management review, the Company has revised its plans to include retaining certain research and development activities in the Seattle, Washington facility, reduce the allocation of space to support
these activities and sublease a significant portion of the facility to offset operational costs. Retaining certain research and development activities enables the Company to continue to earn revenue for contracted services to customers, as well as
potentially utilize this location for durability testing for new fuel systems to satisfy the scheduled 2007 EPA requirements. The Company intends to move a limited number of staff to its Cerritos facility, and may relocate certain equipment from the
Seattle facility or purchase equipment to support their research and development activities. These two strategies are an integral part of the board approved transition plan associated with the purchase of BRC and the need to improve the
effectiveness and reduce the costs of the research and development activities at both IMPCO and BRC.



Alternative Fuel Industry



Overview



Our business is focused on the alternative fuel industry. We believe three independent
market factorseconomics, energy independence and environmental concernsare driving the growth of the market for alternative fuel technology. We believe the historic price differential between propane or natural gas and gasoline results
in economic benefit to end users of alternative fuel technology. The price of alternative fuels such as natural gas or propane is typically 40% to 60% less than the price of gasoline. By converting a liquid fueled internal combustion engine to run
on propane or natural gas, customers can capitalize on this fuel price differential. End-users may recoup the cost of the conversion within six to eighteen months, depending on the fuel cost disparity prevailing at the time. Transportation companies
in various countries, including Australia, Mexico, India and China, are also taking advantage of these economics.



13



---

In addition to economic benefits to alternative fuels to end-users, some governments have sought to create a demand
for alternative fuels in order to reduce their dependence on imported oil and reduce their unfavorable balance of payments by relying on their natural gas reserves. For example, we believe that the Indian, Pakistani and Chinese governments, rather
than relying solely on imported gasoline and diesel fuel for their transportation needs, each promotes the use of natural gas in vehicles to free some of its oil production for export. Alternative fuel vehicles that operate on natural gas or propane
can lessen the demand for gasoline.



Governmental emission regulations,
which support the use of clean burning alternative fuels, are also expanding industry growth. Internal combustion engines are a major source of air pollution, which has led to increased government regulation and oversight on vehicle and industrial
engine emissions. Most major international cities are experiencing significant pollution from gasoline and diesel emissions. These cities also have the largest concentrations of fleet operators, and many of these cities, particularly those outside
the United States, are taking steps to reduce emissions, typically by implementing natural gas or propane-fueled vehicles. For example, in Mexico City, Milan and Rome and in India, the respective governments have taken steps such as prohibiting the
use of certain vehicles on designated days of the week.



In the United
States, legislative and administrative policies such as the Comprehensive National Energy Strategy, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the Energy Policy Act of 1992, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
Environmental Committees Report on Environmentally Sustainable Transport provide goals for energy efficiency, and coupled with the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resource Boards Large Spark Ignited Off-Highway
Emission regulation for industrial equipment, afford strict emission standards and promote the development and implementation of alternative fuels and related technologies.



Markets



We are directly involved in two market segments transportation and industrial, which includes power generation equipment, which have seen growth in the use of
clean-burning gaseous fuels due to the less harmful emissions effects of gaseous fuels and the cost advantage of gaseous fuels when compared to gasoline and diesel fuels.



Transportation.     According to the most recent statistics from the World LP Gas Association, the
International Association for Natural Gas Vehicles (IANGV) and the European Natural Gas Association, there are over 5.7 million gaseous fuel vehicles in use worldwide: either for personal mobility, fleet conveyance or public transportation. As the
worlds vehicle population increases from 800 million to over 1.3 billion by 2020, most growth will occur in developing countries within Asia, North Africa, and areas of the Middle East. These regions currently have the lowest ratio of vehicles
per one thousand people, and are slated to grow rapidly over the next ten years as economic improvements stimulate personal vehicle ownership.



The Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy, the World Bank, the Office of Economic and Community Development, the fifteen countries of
the European Union (EU15) and the Asian Development Bank suggests that interest in expanding the use of alternative fuel vehicles is mounting in many parts of the developed and developing world. Growth projections, reported by the Energy Information
Administration and the IANGV in comparison with current data available from the European Natural Gas Vehicle Association, indicate that over two million additional alternative fuel vehicles will be introduced worldwide by

2010. In Europe, alternative fuel vehicles have rapidly penetrated the transportation market. The European Unions four largest natural gas-consuming members, the
United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy, all have introduced incentives for gaseous-fueled vehicles. The European Union has established a target to replace 20% of their liquid fueled vehicles with gaseous fuels by 2020. The Mexican Regulatory
Commission of Energy estimates that Mexico will be able to increase the use of natural gas vehicles from 2,000 in 2000 to 100,000 by 2008.



The Asia region is emerging as a significant growth market for alternative fuel vehicles. China, already the worlds second-largest energy consumer, will
continue to grow in importance on world energy markets as many forecasts suggest that strong economic growth will drive up demand.



Industrial.     Equipment such as forklifts, aerial platforms, sweepers, turf equipment, light-duty construction equipment, mobile
wood-processing equipment and other mobile industrial equipment have long been workhorses of developed countries, and are a significant portion of our global activities. With developed countries such as the United States and the EU15 seeking a
broader consensus on regulation of emission sources in an attempt to further reduce air pollution, many countries have and, we believe will continue to, legislate emission standards for this type of equipment.



With new emission regulations being imposed, these OEMs will require advanced
technologies that permit the use of gaseous fuels in order to satisfy not only the regulation, but also the customers requirements for durability, performance and reliability. We have developed and are currently supplying a series of advanced
technology alternative fuel systems to the industrial OEM market under the brand name Spectrum. We and our industrial brands focus on serving the market with fuel systems, services and emission certified engine packages.



With respect to the power generation industry, the World Energy Outlook 2002 projects
the global primary energy demand will increase by 1.7% per year from 2000 to 2030, reaching 15.3 billion tons of oil equivalent. Even though the earths energy resources are adequate to meet this demand, the amount of investment that will be
needed for these resources to be exploited is significantly higher than has occurred in the past. For example, investment needs in the power sector are expected to be almost three times larger over the coming three decades than over the last three.
Investment in the oil industry will also have to rise sharply, as demand rises and the surplus capacity in crude oil production and refining that has characterized the industry since the 1970s is used up. Gaseous fuels such as propane and natural
gas have significant reserves available worldwide which are less costly to refine compared to crude oil and have historically been less expensive than liquid fuels. Countries like China, for example, are actively developing their infrastructure to
utilize their natural gas reserves rather than import liquid fuels.

Competitive Advantages



Industry participants compete on price, product performance and customer support.



We believe we have developed a technological leadership position in the alternative fuel industry based on our experience in
designing, manufacturing and commercializing alternative fuel delivery products and components, our relationships with leading companies in transportation, power generation and industrial markets, our financial commitment to research and product
development and our proven ability to develop and commercialize new products. We believe our competitive strengths include:



Strong Technological Base.    Over the past ten years, we have invested approximately $142.0 million in research and development. This
investment, coupled with our history and experience in the alternative fuel industry, has provided us with a strong technology base for new product innovation for internal combustion engines, particularly in our industrial and power generation
markets. Additionally, we believe our acquisition of BRC will expand our technology and product base in the transportation market. BRC has been developing, manufacturing and marketing alternative gaseous fuel products and systems for automobiles for
more than 20 years and we believe is a leader in the transportation market for alternative fuel technology.



Strong Global Distribution and OEM Customer Relationships.    We have developed a distribution system of over 400 dealers and
distributors in 55 countries around the world. In addition, we currently sell products to more than 100 OEM customers in domestic and international alternative fuel markets. To date, we have sold over four million fuel systems or sub-systems
globally to our customers. We believe that the successful historic use of our products and our reputation as a leader in application development support for our customers provides a strong competitive position. In addition, BRC has developed a
distribution system of over 100 distributors and dealers in over 20 countries. BRC also sells its products to over 30 automotive OEMs.



Extensive Manufacturing Experience.    We have more than four decades of experience in the manufacture, development and integration of
alternative fuel technologies and products. We currently maintain manufacturing and production facilities in the United States, Europe, and Australia, which produce a broad range of components. The location of manufacturing plants in four continent
enables the company to receive a low cost of good by global sourcing and to obtain low labor rates for realizing very competitive manufacturing costs. Additionally, supply of products to our global customers is superior to competition due to
strategically located facilities. Our U.S., Australian and European facilities have achieved ISO-9001 or QS-9000 certification. QS-9000 is the common supplier quality standard for Chrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company and General Motors. QS-9000
applies to suppliers of production materials, production and service parts, heat-treating, painting and plating and other finishing services. ISO-9000 is a set of three individual, but related, international standards on quality management and
quality assurance. These three standards were developed to document effectively the quality controls necessary to maintain quality production of products. BRC has three manufacturing facilities in Italy and one in Brazil. All of such facilities are
ISO qualified.



Established Systems Integration
Expertise.    As more OEMs seek to reduce costs by outsourcing key tasks and reducing the number of suppliers, we have focused increasingly on capturing additional revenue opportunities by expanding our systems integration
capabilities. In 1998, we established our Industrial Engine Systems business in Sterling Heights, Michigan, which provides systems integration of our low-emission products on engines that are subsequently sold to industrial OEMs. We believe that our
systems integration expertise,



16

together with our proprietary and patented technologies, give us a significant customer support advantage in the alternative fuel markets. BRC also has system
integration experience in the automotive aftermarket and with OEMs and provide products and systems to enable their customers to convert to gaseous fuel. In addition, BRC also converts new vehicles to gaseous fuels for subsequent sale by automotive
OEMs.



Positioned for Global Growth.    With
seven foreign offices and over 400 distributors and dealers to sell our products and service our customers in more than 55 countries outside the United States, management believes that we are positioned to capitalize on global growth opportunities.
We believe that the alternative fuel markets will grow dramatically internationally, particularly in China, India, and Southeast Asia, because of the existing urban pollution problems and economics that favor alternative fuels versus gasoline. Our
purchase of BRC strengthens IMPCOs global position by adding an additional 100 distributors and dealers in all 15 European nations, as well as ten Eastern European countries, and a number of developing countries including Brazil, Argentina,
Chile, Australia, India, China, Thailand and South Korea.



Business Strategy



We believe that the successful execution of the following strategic
objectives will enable us to maintain and expand our leadership position in the advanced fuel technologies industry.



Capitalize on IMPCOs Strong Technology Leadership Position.    We believe we have a technology advantage due to our investment in
research and development. Our investment has permitted us to develop and supply new technology and products to our target markets, and our management believes that these trends will continue to grow as liquid fossil fuels become increasingly scarce
and expensive to develop. Our management also plans to develop new technologies, including the technology of BRC, and expand our product and system integration capabilities to an increasingly larger and more diversified customer base.



Migrate Revenue Base from Component Products to Complete Fuel
Systems.    Historically, our revenues were derived exclusively from component parts. As part of its strategic business review, management recognized the need to further differentiate its product offering, and as such we now
also develop and engineer complete fuel systems. These systems not only generate higher dollar revenues, but also result in additional future revenue streams such as engine controls and maintenance contracts. As of December 31, 2004, revenues
derived from fuel systems were approximately 50% of our total revenues and were primarily in the industrial market. We believe the BRC acquisition, if completed, will enable the same system strategy to be expanded into the transportation market.



Focus on Advanced Fuel Delivery Technologies and Related
Products.    We intend to focus on advanced electronic and fuel metering technologies and products. We plan to continue our research and product development in fuel delivery and electronic control systems for alternative
fuels. We actively seek to establish joint development programs and strategic alliances with the major engine designers, manufacturers and industry leaders in these markets. After completion, the BRC acquisition will provide us with additional
electronic and fuel metering technology.



Develop and Expand Key
Industry Relationships.    We plan to utilize the successful technical and business relationships and reputation we have established worldwide with major industry leaders using alternative fuel products to enable us to
establish and maintain strategic alliances, joint product development programs and joint ventures with these companies in our target markets. We will concentrate our efforts on broadening our OEM relationships in an



17

effort to establish strong top-tier supplier positions based on our belief that OEMs will drive industry growth in the alternative fuel industry. After completion, the
BRC acquisition will expand our industry relationships in the transportation market.



Expand and Broaden Systems Integration Expertise.    We expect to continue to broaden our capabilities to provide integration, testing, validation and manufacturing of our products and systems into
the industrial transportation, and power generation markets. As more OEMs seek to reduce costs and shorten time to market by outsourcing key tasks and reducing numbers of suppliers, we are focused increasingly on capturing additional revenue
opportunities by expanding into value-added services, such as systems integration. For example, we have established an industrial systems unit in Michigan to integrate our products into engines that will be sold to industrial OEMs, who in turn will
install these engines into end products. After completion, the BRC acquisition will expand our product and system capabilities in the automotive transportation market.



Increase Bases of Business Operations and Distributor Network in High-Growth Global Regions.    We plan to
expand our operating network in higher-growth regions, such as Asia, Europe and Latin America, to take advantage of significant growth opportunities that we believe exist in those areas. We intend to capitalize on these growth opportunities through
acquisitions and joint ventures, strengthening of our distributor network and developing key local business and governmental support and recognition. Additionally, we believe that working with local governments and establishing joint ventures with
local businesses is essential to expanding into international markets. Our purchase of BRC further expands our presence in the European transportation market and will expand key industry relationships in the automotive transportation market.



Expand Our Global Manufacturing
Operations.    We plan to expand our manufacturing operations in the United States by establishing manufacturing sites in low-cost locations with a continued focus on quality, timely delivery and operating efficiency. In
addition, our management anticipates that the manufacturing strengths of BRC, coupled with the additional product volume management hopes to derive from the relationship, will result in productivity improvements.



Customers and Strategic Relationships



Our customers include some of the worlds largest OEMs and engine manufacturers,
including Boss Manufacturing, Caterpillar, Clark, Cummins, Daewoo, Detroit Diesel, Ford Australia, GM Holden, Kohler, Komatsu, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Onan, Still and Toyota.



We are working with a number of these customers to address their future product and application requirements as they integrate more
advanced, certified gaseous fuel systems into their business strategies. Additionally, we continually survey and evaluate the benefits of joint ventures, acquisitions and strategic alliances with our customers and other participants in the
alternative fuel industry to strengthen our global business position.



We
have focused our strategic alliances on our marketing strategy and/or on our development strategy. Our marketing strategy seeks to expand the distribution channels for our gaseous fuel system technologies. Our development strategy is to advance the
state of technology and its application.



For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004, the Company had sales to two customers that represent approximately 33% and 10.8%, respectively. During fiscal years 2003 and



18



---

2004, sales to key customers accounted for 40% and 56% of our revenue, respectively. If several of these key customers were to reduce their orders substantially, we
would suffer a decline in revenue and profits, and those declines may be substantial.



Quantum Collaboration.    Our three-year agreement with Quantum provides that we will collaborate with Quantum to identify and conduct research and development programs of mutual interest. As part of
those research and development activities, we may develop technology and products separately or jointly with Quantum. The agreement also allows us to acquire and sell into its alternative fuel markets Quantums advanced technology products,
including compressed natural gas storage tanks, fuel injectors, in-tank regulators and other products, for use in automotive, bus and truck and industrial aftermarket applications and in the bus and truck and industrial OEM markets. For jointly

Sales and Distribution



We sell products through a worldwide network encompassing more than 400 distributors
and dealers in over 55 countries and through a sales force that develops sales with OEMs and large end-users. Our operations focus on OEM and aftermarket customers in the transportation, industrial, and power generation markets. Of these markets, we
believe that the greatest potential for immediate growth is in the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions in the transportation OEM and aftermarket and in North America in the industrial OEM and aftermarket.



For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, sales to distributors (including
company-owned distributors) accounted for 32% of our net revenue and sales to OEM customers accounted for approximately 68% of our net revenue. During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003, sales to distributors accounted for 45% of our net
revenue and sales to OEM customers accounted for 55% of net revenues.



Distributors generally service the aftermarket business of the conversion of liquid fueled engines to gaseous fuels, and small-volume OEMs and are generally specialized and privately owned enterprises. Many domestic distributors have been
our customers for more than 30 years, and many of our export distributors have been our customers for more than 20 years.



For fiscal years 2003 and 2004, sales of products used in vehicle conversion programs by OEMs accounted for 60% and 68% of our revenues, respectively.



Our International Operations segment, which consists of our subsidiaries located in
Europe, Australia, Japan, and India, has sales, application and market development and technical service capabilities. Information regarding the revenues, income and assets of each of our two segments, U.S. Operations and International Operations,
and regarding our revenues and assets by geographic area is included in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.

Manufacturing



We manufacture and assemble products at our facilities in Cerritos, California, Sterling Heights, Michigan and at our international facilities. Current
manufacturing operations consist primarily of mechanical assembly and light machining. We rely on outside suppliers for parts and components and obtain components for products from a variety of domestic and foreign automotive and electronics
suppliers, die casters, stamping operations, specialized diaphragm manufacturers and machine shops. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, ten suppliers accounted for approximately 61% of our raw material purchases. During our fiscal years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the eight month transition period ended December 31, 2002, and the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, General Motors Corporation, and affiliates of General Motors, accounted for approximately 41%, 33%, 12% and 9%
respectively, of purchases. During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the eight month transition period ended December 31, 2002, and the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, Rangers Die Casting Company, accounted for approximately 4%,
7%, 8% and 8% respectively, of purchases.



Material costs and machined
die cast aluminum parts represent the major components of cost of sales. Coordination with suppliers for quality control and timely shipments is a high priority to maximize inventory management. We use a computerized material requirement planning
system to schedule material flow and balance the competing demands of timely shipments, productivity and inventory management. All of our U.S. manufacturing facilities are ISO-9001 certified.



Research and Development



Our research and development facility near Seattle, Washington will be used primarily for the research and development of systems and
products that support the use of gaseous fuels in internal combustion engines. This facility has sophisticated, state-of-the-art research laboratories, emissions control equipment, and testing equipment. Our research and development is focused on
fuel delivery and electronic control systems and products for motor vehicles, engines, forklifts, stationary engines and small industrial engines.



We have the following technical capabilities:



| |  |  | Electronic Control Systems.Specialization in hardware design and selection, engine modeling, calibration and software design for engine and emission controls;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Mechanical Design and Development.Specialization in pneumatic, kinematics, hydraulic components and systems and advanced materials, structural, flow and thermal
analysis;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Advanced Catalysts.Catalyst and emission testing;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Advanced Products.Injectors, pressure sensors and bi-directional mass flow sensors, fuel management, mass flow sensors for natural gas measurement and
smart sensors using 8-bit micro-controllers; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Component, Subsystem and Engine System Test Facilities.Extended vibrations, shock loads and accelerations, flow simulations and pneumatic leak checks.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We believe this facility is a critical component in our
ability to maintain our technological leadership position in alternative fuel enabling systems.

We conduct alternative fuel application development at the following facilities:



| |  |  | Cerritos, California for the power generation market;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Seattle, Washington for the transportation market;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sterling Heights, Michigan for the industrial market.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Rijswijk, Holland for the industrial and transportation market;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cheltenham, Australia for the transportation market; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Gurgaon, India for the transportation and power generation markets.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



On March 14, 2005 management announced its intention to relocate research and development activities to its Cerritos, California manufacturing facility and close
the Seattle, Washington facility. Upon subsequent management review, the Company has revised its plans to include retaining certain research and development activities in the Seattle, Washington facility, reduce the allocation of space to support
these activities and sublease a significant portion of the facility to offset operational costs. Retaining certain research and development activities enables the Company to continue to earn revenue for contracted services to customers, as well as
potentially utilize this location for durability testing for new fuel systems to satisfy the scheduled 2007 EPA requirements. The Company intends to move a limited number of staff to its Cerritos facility, and may relocate certain equipment from the
Seattle facility or purchase equipment to support their research and development activities. These two strategies are an integral part of the board approved transition plan associated with the purchase of BRC and the need to improve the
effectiveness and reduce the costs of the research and development activities at both IMPCO and BRC.



Competition



Our key competitors in gaseous
fuel delivery products, accessory components and engine conversions markets include Landi Group, Lovato, OMVL and Tartarini located in Europe, Aisan and Nikki in Japan and GFI in the United States and Europe, which together with us account for a
majority of the world market for alternative fuel products and services. In the future, we may face competition from traditional automotive component suppliers, such as Bosch, Delphi, Siemens and Visteon, and from motor vehicle OEMs that develop
fuel systems internally. Industry participants compete on price, product performance and customer support. The Company believes we have approximately 50% market share in the overall alternative fuels market.



Product Certification



We must obtain emission compliance certification from the Environmental Protection Agency to sell certain of our products in the
United States and from the California Air Resources Board to sell certain products in California. Each car, truck or van sold in the U.S. market must be certified by the Environmental Protection Agency before it can be introduced into commerce, and
its products must meet component, subsystem and system level durability, emission, refueling and various idle tests. In California, both on-road and off-road vehicles have emission compliance regulation. We have also obtained international emissions
compliance certification in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Europe and Mexico.



We strive to meet stringent industry standards set by various regulatory bodies, including the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards of the United States, the National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration, the
National Fire Protection Association, Underwriters

Laboratories and American Gas. Approvals enhance the acceptability of our products in the domestic marketplace. Many foreign countries also accept these agency
approvals as satisfying the approval for sale requirements in their markets.



Backlog



As of March 22, 2005, our backlog for our
products was $19.6 million, as compared to $32.0 million on March 8, 2004 and $13.5 million on February 28, 2003. We measure backlog for our product sales from the time orders become irrevocable, which generally occurs 90 days prior to the planned
delivery date. We expect to fill all of the backlog orders during fiscal year 2005.



Employees



As of March 24, 2005, we employed
approximately 721 persons including those employed by our unconsolidated affiliates in India, Mexico and Italy. Of these employees, approximately 194 were employed in U.S. Operations and 527 were employed in International Operations. None of our
employees (except those that are also BRC employees) are represented in a collective bargaining agreement. Management considers our relations with our employees to be good.



Intellectual Property



We currently rely primarily on patent and trade secret laws to protect our intellectual property. We currently have 13 U.S. patents and 26 foreign patents issued.
Our U.S. patents began expiring in October 2002 and will expire on various dates until May 2020. We do not expect the expiration of our patents to have a material affect on our revenues.



We also rely on a combination of trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws and various contract rights to protect
our proprietary rights. However, we cannot be sure that these intellectual property rights provide sufficient protection from competition. We believe that copyright, trademark and trade secret protection are less significant than our patents.

|Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
|------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The following discussion includes forward-looking statements about our business, financial condition, and results of operations,
including discussions about managements expectations both for our own business and for the business of our unconsolidated affiliate, BRC. These statements represent projections, beliefs and expectations based on current circumstances and
conditions and in light of recent events and trends, and you should not construe these statements either as assurances of performances or as promises of a given course of action. Instead, various known and unknown factors are likely to cause our
actual performance and managements actions to vary, and the results of these variances may be both material and adverse. A list of the known material factors that may cause our results to vary, or may cause management to deviate from its
current plans and expectations, is included in the section below entitled Risk Factors. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included herein.



Overview



We design, manufacture and supply components, complete certified engine systems and fuel systems on a global basis that include fuel
metering, electronic control and fuel storage products that enable internal combustion engines to run on clean burning alternative fuels such as propane and natural gas instead of gasoline. Alternative fuel technology is used to reduce fuel costs,
to reduce harmful emissions from internal combustion engines, and to lessen dependence on crude oil. Based on more than 46 years of technology development and expertise in producing cost-effective, safe and durable alternative gaseous fuel
technology systems for engines, we believe that we are positioned to provide enabling products and technologies in the rapidly expanding alternative fuel industry through our global network of over 400 distributors and dealers and 100 original
equipment manufacturers in 55 countries.



We classify our business into
two business segments: U.S. Operations and International Operations. Our U.S. Operations sell products, including complete certified engines, parts and conversion systems, for applications in the transportation, material handling, stationary and
portable power generator and general industrial markets. Our International Operations in Australia, Europe, India, Japan, and Mexico provide distribution for our products, predominantly from U.S. Operations and some product assembly on engines. As
of December 31, 2004, we will no longer consolidate our operations in Mexico and India as part of International Operations. These operations will be accounted for using the equity method of consolidation due to our 50% ownership in these entities
and our lack of effective control.



We recognize revenue for product
sales when title is transferred, ordinarily when products are shipped, and when management is reasonably assured of collectibility. We provide for returns and allowances as circumstances and facts require.



Net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 was $15.9 million on revenues
of approximately $118.3 million as compared to revenues and a net loss during fiscal 2003 of $74.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively.



The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $15.9 includes a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $6.8 million on the payoff of the Bison loan in December
2004; increase in the provision for the allowance for deferred tax assets of $2.3 million; write-off of goodwill totaling $2.8 million for reduction of business in Japan and Mexico; a change in accounting estimate for excess and obsolete inventories
resulting in a charge of $1.3 million; additional costs incurred for preparation and auditing for Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 of



26



---

approximately $0.6 million; and severance costs of personnel reductions of approximately $0.8 million in conjunction with the board approved transition plan for the
integration of IMPCO and BRC.



The net loss for the year ended December
31, 2003 of $6.9 million was primarily due to the continuing negative impact on the US and international markets of the economic reductions resulting from the events of September 11, 2001. The industrial and transportation markets worldwide are
beginning to approach the level of economic activity prior to that event.



For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded a net loss of $6.9 million on revenues of $74.7 million. The $6.9 million net loss represented an improvement of $29.7 million over the unaudited twelve-month period ended December
31, 2002, when we recorded a net loss of $36.6 million. Information for the period ended December 31, 2002 is presented solely for purposes of comparison owing to the change of our fiscal year; these data are derived from our unaudited financial
statements for the four-month period ended April 30, 2002 and our audited financial statements for the eight-month transition period ended December 31, 2002.



Recent Developments



Business Acquisition



In a series of related
transactions between October 2, 2003 and July 29, 2003, we acquired 50% of BRCs equity from two of its founders, Mariano Costamagna and Pier Antonio Costamagna. The aggregate price for the purchase of the initial 50% equity interest was $23.8
million. On October 22, 2004, we entered into an agreement to purchase the remaining 50% equity interest from those same individuals using a combination of cash and stock. The terms of the transaction include a cash payment of approximately $10.0
million and an issuance of 5,098,284 shares of our common stock. As of October 22, 2004, the date of the BRC acquisition agreement, the value of that consideration was approximately $37.6 million based on a stock price of approximately $5.40. Based
on the last reported sale of our common stock as of March 24, 2005 of $5.16, the value of the consideration to be received by the founders was approximately $36.3 million. On March 10, 2005, our stockholders approved the issuance of 5,098,284 shares
of our common stock to be used as part of the purchase price for the acquisition of the 50% remaining ownership of BRC. The BRC purchase transaction was completed and closed on March 31, 2005.



On December 23, 2004 we entered a loan agreement with MTM pursuant to which we
borrowed $22.0 million. The loan proceeds were used to retire all debts and related obligations we had incurred pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 18, 2003 with Bison. The MTM loan carries an interest rate equal to 3-month
EURIBOR plus 1.5% per annum, which totaled approximately 3.7% as of December 31, 2004, provided that the rate will increase to 3.5% above 3-month EURIBOR after and during the continuance of a default under the Loan Agreement and to 6.5% above
3-month EURIBOR on any unpaid portion of the loan outstanding 30 days after the maturity date of December 31, 2009. The MTM loan matures on December 31, 2009 and will be repaid in quarterly installments beginning March 31, 2005, each payment in
the amount of not less than $0.65 million in the first two years, $0.8 million in the third year, $1.0 million in the fourth year and $1.15 million in the final year, with a $5.0 million balloon payment of the remaining unpaid principal
and interest due on December 31, 2009.



This loan may be accelerated
in the event that any payment is not made within 15 days of the date when due, if the employment of Mariano Costamagna as our CEO is terminated for any



27



---

reason (with certain exceptions for termination upon Mr. Costamagnas death), if we materially breach his employment agreement or upon written notice from MTM in
the case of any other default under the agreement. The MTM loan agreement contains restrictive covenants limiting our ability to: (a) incur additional indebtedness other than unsecured trade credit, capital leases and additional indebtedness
pursuant to the senior credit facility with LaSalle; (b) merge, consolidate or sell our assets; (c) purchase, retire or redeem our capital stock; and (d) make capital expenditures in excess of $2.5 million in any fiscal year.



Using proceeds from the MTM loan, we repaid in full our senior subordinated promissory
note issued to Bison on July 18, 2003. As a result, we paid a prepayment penalty of approximately $1.0 million. In addition, as a result of our prepayment, we are required under generally accepted accounting principles to take a charge to income
representing the amount of the unamortized portion of the original issue discount and the unamortized issuance costs, which were approximately $2.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively. These charges, including the prepayment penalty of $1.0
million, were recognized in the fourth quarter of 2004 as a loss on extinguishment of debt.



We believe that the BRC acquisition and the retirement of the Bison debt and its replacement with the MTM loan will be highly beneficial to us in a number of ways, including increasing our product development, sales and
marketing, and manufacturing capabilities, and because of the savings we expect to realize in interest expense. Such savings in interest expense are expected to be approximately $2.9 million per year on a consolidated basis when comparing the
reduction in principal amount and interest rate from $20.0 million at 18.25% under the Bison debt to $10.0 million at 3-month EURIBOR plus 1.5% per annum under the MTM loan agreement.



On February 4, 2005, we sold 4.0 million shares of our common stock as part of a public offering to investors and realized net
proceeds of approximately $20.6 million inclusive of approximately $1.0 million of issuance expenses. On February 11, 2005, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and we sold an additional 0.6 million shares from which we received
additional net proceeds of approximately $3.2 million. Approximately $10.0 million of the proceeds from the public offering were placed in an escrow account for use as partial consideration in the acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership of BRC.



Management Transition



Effective January 1, 2005, Mariano Costamagna, the principle executive officer of BRC,
became our new Chief Executive Officer, and on the same date, Mr. Robert M. Stemmler, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, resigned as our Chief Executive Officer. Robert Stemmler has been a director since May 1993 and the Chairman of the Board
of Directors since June 1998. Mr. Stemmler also served as our President and Chief Executive Officer from May 1993 through December 31, 2004. Mr. Stemmler was a full time employee consultant to support the transition to a new CEO until March 17,
2005, when his consulting relationship was changed. A revision to the employee consulting agreement is now being prepared to re-define Mr. Stemmlers consulting role.



Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Costamagnas employment agreement, Mr. Costamagnas initial base salary will be $360,000
per year, and he will be entitled to participate in our standard executive bonus plan. Pursuant to the employment agreement, if Mr. Costamagnas employment is terminated due to death, disability, by us other than for cause, or if he
resigns for good reason, we are obligated to pay him severance equal to $5.0 million (subject to certain limited reductions if he sells more than 20% of the aggregate amount of our stock he



28



---

received, and is to receive, as consideration in connection with our acquisition of BRC). In addition, termination of Mr. Costamagnas employment is terminated
for any reason (with limited exceptions for termination upon Mr. Costamagnas death), Mr. Costamagna or his estate may accelerate the MTM loan.



Relocation of Research and Development Facility



On March 14, 2005 management announced its intention to relocate research and development activities to its Cerritos, California manufacturing facility and close
the Seattle, Washington facility. Upon subsequent management review, the Company has revised its plans to include retaining certain research and development activities in the Seattle, Washington facility, reduce the allocation of space to support
these activities and sublease a significant portion of the facility to offset operational costs. Retaining certain research and development activities enables the Company to continue to earn revenue for contracted services to customers, as well as
potentially utilize this location for durability testing for new fuel systems to satisfy the scheduled 2007 EPA requirements. The Company intends to move a limited number of staff to its Cerritos facility, and may relocate certain equipment from the
Seattle facility or purchase equipment to support their research and development activities. These two strategies are an integral part of the board approved transition plan associated with the purchase of BRC and the need to improve the
effectiveness and reduce the costs of the research and development activities at both IMPCO and BRC.



Change of Fiscal Year



On November 14, 2002
we changed our fiscal year so that effective January 1, 2003 our fiscal year is the calendar year.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On
an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, goodwill, taxes, inventories, warranty obligations, long-term service contracts, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and
on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.



Revenue Recognition



We recognize revenue for product
sales when title is transferred, ordinarily when products are shipped and when management is reasonably assured of collectibility.



We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial
condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.



29

Warranty



We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in product quality programs and processes, including
actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product
failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability may be required. In 2004, we increased the warranty reserve by approximately $0.7 million. Due to a change in accounting
estimate, we increased the warranty reserves for the engine system product line by approximately $0.4 million in the fourth quarter to reflect the increased volume of business in engine system and the visibility of warranty experience. We believe
our warranty experience is within industry norms. Our standard warranty period is 18 months from the date of manufacture. The warranty obligation on our certified engine products can vary from 3 to 5 years depending on the specific part and the
actual hours of usage.



Inventory



We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal
to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory
write-downs may be required. We revised our policy with respect to slow moving and obsolete inventory in response to market changes in several foreign markets that have historically placed significant orders with U.S. Operations. For the year 2004,
we reduced the carrying value of inventory by $1.8 million by increasing inventory reserves which included approximately $1.3 million in the fourth quarter. We evaluated current and future market conditions in several of the markets for our older
products, such as Mexico, Japan and Australia and determined that a portion of our existing inventory was unlikely to turn adequately and, accordingly, we recognized an increase in inventory reserves.



Goodwill



We operate wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. We record goodwill at the time of purchase for the amount of the purchase
price over the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the goodwill,
thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future. We recognized an impairment charge for goodwill of approximately $2.8 million related to goodwill that had been allocated to our Japanese and Mexican subsidiaries. We determined that the
fair value of these businesses was not adequate to sustain the amount of goodwill allocated to these business and, accordingly, recognized a permanent impairment loss as part of operating income for 2004. The principal factors that resulted in the
impairment loss were the future uncertainties related to revenue growth and expected earnings in Mexico and Japan. In addition, in the fourth quarter, changes in the Companys senior management and the announced acquisition of the remaining 50%
of BRC, shifted the long-term direction of the Company, triggering a reassessment of the carrying value of goodwill in certain reporting units. The Companys operating strategy included a shift towards joint ventures, partnerships, and
developing indirect channels of distribution, which has been the BRC model, as opposed to IMPCOs historical model of acquiring foreign entities or successful distributorships. At December 31, 2004, we established a joint venture with another
partner, in which we have a 50% ownership, which will be the primary point of distribution for IMPCO and BRC products and solutions in Mexico. In Japan, we are in the process of evaluating alternative means of product distribution including the
possibility of establishing a joint venture or distributorship agreements.

Net Deferred Tax Assets



During the transition period ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a $24.0 million valuation allowance for that portion of deferred tax assets that we believe is not
likely to be realized. On a quarterly basis, we continue to analyze the deferred tax asset and the reserve required for the portion of the asset that is unlikely to be realized. During 2003, we increased the valuation allowance to $26.5 million. For
the 2004 fiscal year, we increased the valuation allowance by an additional $9.1 million representing a reduction in the recoverability of net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2004 to approximately $8.1 million. Future adverse changes in market
conditions, poor operating results or a decline in our projections about future profitability may affect our assessment of the adequacy of the reserve. In the event that we determine that it is more likely than not that we would be unable to realize
an additional portion of our net deferred tax asset, an additional valuation allowance would be recognized and charged to income in the period such a determination was made.

|                   |  |                                |   |  |      |

|Latin America      |  | 15.7                           | % |  | 7.9  | %



Revenues increased $43.6
million, or 58.3%, to $118.3 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 from $74.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. U.S. Operations revenue increased by $40.5 million, or 77.9%, from $52.0 million to $92.4 million over
the same period. International Operations increased by $1.6 million, or 4.3%, from $36.1 million to $37.7 million. The dramatic increase in revenue for U.S. Operations was in the industrial marketplace and was attributable to shipments of the
Spectrum product line that was launched in the fourth quarter of 2003. The Spectrum product line is designed to address more stringent EPA emission standards impacting certain off-road vehicles such as industrial forklifts and other
similar industrial equipment. Revenues declined in the transportation market segment by $2.6 million, or 8.7%, from $29.5 million in 2003 to $26.9 million in 2004. This decline was attributed primarily to the Mexican market where potential
legislation existed during most of 2004 that would impose additional excise taxes on gaseous-fueled vehicles.



Operating income decreased by $0.6 million, or 120.4% from $0.5 million loss in fiscal 2003 to $1.1 million loss in 2004. Gross profit was adversely impacted by
$1.8 million in additional inventory reserves for slow-moving inventory primarily related to reduced expectations in Mexico and Japan that we believe will cause a portion of our inventory to turn slower than our previous estimates. Gross profit was
also negatively impacted by the recognition of additional credits for payment incentives in Mexico and product mix of approximately $0.6 million. Operating expenses were negatively impacted by new costs related to our compliance with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which required that we provide an assessment of our internal financial controls, subject to an audit by our independent auditors. Costs incurred to meet Section 404 portion of the Act were approximately $0.6 million
primarily in outside professional fees and consultants. We recognized termination costs of $0.8 million anticipating the merger of IMPCO and BRC in 2005 and increased warranty reserves by $0.7 million to reflect more current information regarding
customer returns on the new engine systems product line. We recognized an impairment loss for goodwill of approximately $2.8 million as part of operating income as a result of a change in corporate direction in Mexico and reduced expectations in
Japan.



U.S. Operations.    Revenues
increased $40.5 million, or 77.9%, to $92.4 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 from $52.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The significant increase in revenue for is attributable to shipments of the Spectrum
product line that was launched in the fourth quarter of 2003.



Operating
income increased by $2.7 million, or 59.0% from a profit of $4.5 million in fiscal 2003 to $7.2 million profit in 2004. The increase in operating profit was affected by a gross profit increase of $3.6 million due primarily to increased revenues of
$40.5 million partially offset by an increase of operating expenses of $0.9 million as compared to fiscal 2003. Gross profit was adversely impacted by $1.3 million in additional inventory reserves for slow-moving

inventory related to reduced expectations in Mexico and Japan that we believe will cause a portion of our inventory to turn slower than our revised inventory policy.
The Company recognized an increase in the excess and obsolescence reserve in the fourth quarter of 2004 in the amount of $1.3 million primarily due to the changes in the foreign markets that are served by U.S. operations (production) and changes in
the U.S. market towards certified engine systems and away from component sales through distribution. The factors that led the Company to take a charge for obsolescence were (1) the determination during the fourth quarter as part of its annual
planning process that the level of intercompany shipments to foreign subsidiaries was expected to decline during 2005 due to changes in market conditions in the foreign markets; (2) reduced demand for the core IMPCO products produced in the United
States for worldwide distribution, as a result of which, a reduction in the production workforce was made in November 2004; and (3) anticipated product mix change from the initiatives to complete the acquisition of BRC and managements plans to
integrate IMPCO and BRCs operations. Gross profit was also negatively impacted by increases in the reserve allowance for bad debt of $0.4 million due to the settlement of domestic invoicing issues and approximately $0.4 million in additional
warranty reserves.



International
Operations.    Revenues increased $1.6 million, or 4.3%, to $37.7 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 from $36.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Revenue increased primarily in our Holland
and Indian subsidiaries by a total of $3.2 million and was partially offset by a decline of $2.8 million in Mexico.



Operating income decreased by $1.8 million from a profit of $1.6 million in fiscal 2003 to $0.2 million loss in 2004. The decrease in operating profit was affected
by a gross profit increase of $0.9 million due primarily to increased revenues of $1.6 million offset by an increase of operating expenses of $2.7 million as compared to fiscal 2003. Gross profit was negatively impacted by additional credits for
payment incentives for accounts receivable of $0.4 million $0.2 million related to past due accounts receivables and product mix. Operating expenses in International Operations were adversely affected by the $2.8 million goodwill impairment charge
recognized as part of International Operations financial results for 2004.



Corporate.    Corporate expenses consist of general and administrative expenses at the corporate level to support our operating segments in areas such as executive management, finance, human resources, information
systems, legal services and investor relations. Corporate expenses increased by approximately $1.1 million from $7.0 million in 2003 to $8.1 million in 2004. Approximately $0.6 million was related to our compliance with Section 404 in the form of
outside professional fees and consultants. We incurred termination costs totaling approximately $0.5 million in response to a November 2004 transition plan approved by the Board of Directors to reduce redundant costs in anticipation of the BRC
acquisition.



Interest Expense.    We
recognized interest expense of approximately $5.5 million in 2004 as compared to $4.0 million in 2003. On December 30, 2004, we prepaid the Bison note for a total of $22.0 million consisting of a principal payment of $20.0 million plus accrued
interest of $1.0 million and a prepayment penalty of $1.0 million. Prior to the payoff of the note, we incurred during 2004, approximately $4.9 million in interest expense related to Bison, of which approximately $2.3 was cash interest expense. In
December 2004, we were paying an effective interest rate of 18.75%.



We
entered into an agreement with LaSalle Business Credit, LLC in July 2003 for a maximum amount of $12.0 million bearing interest at a rate of prime plus 1%. At December 31, 2003 and 2004, the amount outstanding under the line was $5.3 million and
$7.7 million, respectively. Interest expense recognized in 2003 and 2004 was approximately $0.2 million

and $0.6 million, respectively, of which $0.5 million was cash interest expense. In December 2004, we were paying an interest rate of 6.25%. Subsequent to December 31,
2004 on March 29, 2005 we consummated a third amendment to this agreement reducing the maximum commitment amount to $9.0 million, changing certain financial covenants, and extending the loan term until July 18, 2007. At December 31, 2004, and
measured upon finalization of the Companys financial results on March 31, 2005, the Company had not met the then effective covenants prior to the third amendment for EBITDA, Fixed Charge Ratio and Leverage Ratio for both the US and
Consolidated Operations. Because of a cross default agreement with MTM (the successor creditor to Bison), the MTM loan was also then in default. Upon consummation of the third amendment, the EBITDA, Fixed Charge Ratio and Leverage Ratio were
reserved and set aside, and the revised tangible net worth requirements were met by the Company. Consequently, the Company has subsequently satisfied terms of both lending arrangements and is no longer in default. The Companys forecasts for
2005 project continued compliance with the LaSalle covenants. In any case, the Company currently has sufficient cash available to completely pay off the LaSalle loan.



Provision for Income Taxes.    In fiscal year 2004, the estimated effective annual tax rate was 17.5%
compared to the previous years tax benefit rate of 14.7%. The effective tax rate represents the federal statutory income tax rate, state income taxes and foreign income taxes increased by the permanent differences adjustment and the valuation
allowance. During 2004, we recognized a tax provision for approximately $2.3 million as compared to $0.7 million for fiscal 2003. During the fourth quarter of 2004, we performed an evaluation of the recoverability of the net deferred tax assets on
the consolidated balance sheet and determined that we were more likely than not based on our expectations for future earnings that our future taxable income will more likely than not be sufficient to recover the current balance of $8.1 million over
the next three years. Future adverse changes in market conditions, poor operating results and a decline in our projections about future profitability may affect our assessment about the adequacy of the reserve. In the event that we determine that it
is more likely than not that we would be unable to realize any portion of the current balance, we would provide additional reserves (allowances) and recognize a charge against income in the period that such a determination is made.



Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sec. 382 and 383, certain changes in ownership
structure (common stock issuances in the case of IMPCO) may partially or fully limit future use of net operating losses and tax credits available to offset future taxable income and future tax liabilities, respectively. The Company has measured this
factor for the year ended December 31, 2004 and believes that is less likely than not to limit the Company as described above. However, subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company sold 4.6 million shares of its common stock in a
public offering for the purposes of providing the cash portion of the BRC purchase price and for working capital. In addition, on March 31, 2005, the BRC purchase transaction was closed, resulting in the issuance of 5.1 million shares of the
Companys common stock. These common stock issuances, when measured against other historical common stock issuances and application to the IRS code, may result in a limitation on our realization of deferred tax assets in the first quarter of
2005 or future periods.



Equity Share in Income (Losses) of
Unconsolidated Affiliates.    During fiscal 2004, we recognized a $0.9 million of income representing our share in the earnings of our unconsolidated affiliates as compared to an expense of $1.1 million during 2003. With
respect to BRC, we recognized 50% of BRCs 2004 earnings of approximately $3.1 million in the amount of approximately $1.6 million, offset by approximately $0.4 million in connection with the amortization of the cost differential related to the
difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the net assets and liabilities on BRCs balance sheet as of the acquisition date

in July 2003. In fiscal 2004, the Company also recognized $46,000 expense in the 40% interest in Minda IMPCO Limited (MIL) as compared to $0.1 million in
fiscal 2003. In addition, we wrote-off our investments in joint ventures in China and Egypt where we had 51% and 50% equity interest, respectively, for a total amount of approximately $0.2 million.



Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2003 and Twelve-Month Period Ended December 31,
2002



In November 2002, we changed our fiscal year-end from
April 30 to December 31. The basis of comparison for the discussion that follows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 consists of the eight months ended December 31, 2002, the three months ended April 30, 2002 and the month ended January 31,
2002. We have provided summary of the consolidated statement of operations for 2002 (in thousands of dollars):

Unless otherwise noted,
comparisons for fiscal 2003 are to the unaudited 12 month period ended December 31, 2002.



Net revenue increased $6.3 million, or 9.3%, to $74.7 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 from $68.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. Revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2003 was
$18.2 million or 21.3% higher than revenues of $15.0 million during the corresponding period of 2002. The annual revenue increase was due to a $7.6 million increase in net sales to the industrial market partially offset by a $1.3 million decline in
net sales to the transportation market. The increase in the industrial market was due primarily to the continued economic recovery affecting the industrial markets in the United States and in Europe since the downturn that followed the events of
September 11, 2001. The quarterly increase in revenues is attributable to the launch of our new Spectrum product line. During the fourth quarter of 2003, we began shipping the Spectrum product line including certified engine packages and fuel
systems in response to the new federal regulations, effective January 1, 2004, requiring that certain off-road vehicles and industrial applications meet more stringent exhaust standards.

During the twelve month periods
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, our revenue was generated in the following geographic regions:

Operating loss improved by $2.2
million, or 82%, from a loss of $2.7 million in 2002 to a loss of $0.5 million in 2003. This decrease in operating loss is the result of increased revenues of approximately $6.3 million, which contributed $1.8 million in additional operating income;
higher gross margin percentage of 2% (compared to 29% in 2002), which contributed $1.2 million; partially offset by increased operating expenses of approximately $0.8 million.



U.S. Operations.    Net revenues from U.S. Operations increased $2.6 million, or 5.3%, to $52.0 million in
the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 from net revenues of $49.3 million in the same period in 2002. The increase in sales during 2003 is due primarily to a $5.5 million increase in gross revenue for the industrial market offset by a $2.9
million decline in revenues for the transportation market.

Gross profit in this segment increased by $0.1 million in 2003 due to $0.6 million in higher margin contribution
from the $2.6 million in higher revenues offset by approximately $0.5 million due to reduced gross profit percentages resulting from unfavorable changes in product mix.



For 2003, operating income increased by $2.3 million, or 105.8%, as compared to the same period in 2002. The increase in operating
income was due to an increase in gross profit of $0.1 million and a decrease in operating expenses of $2.2 million. Significant cost reductions occurred in sales and marketing and the research functions since the third quarter of 2002 following the
Quantum spin-off.



International
Operations.    For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, net revenue increased by approximately $0.2 million to $36.1 million, compared to $35.9 million reported for the same period in the prior calendar year. The growth
in revenue was due primarily to a 30% increase in revenues from our European and Asian subsidiaries offset by a reduction of 32% in revenues from our Mexican subsidiary. By market segment, the increase in sales during 2003 as compared to 2002 was
caused primarily by a $2.9 million increase in gross revenue from the industrial market offset by a $2.7 million decline in revenues from the transportation market. Foreign currency fluctuations had the effect of increasing revenue in U.S. dollars
by approximately $2.2 million.



Gross profit for 2003 increased by
approximately $2.6 million, or 32.8%, as compared to the same period in 2002. The increase in gross margin was attributed primarily to changes in product mix that contributed positively to gross margin.



During 2003, operating income from international operations increased by approximately
$1.4 million, or 622%, as compared to 2002. The increase in operating profit was due to the increase in gross profit of $2.6 million offset by increases in operating expenses of $1.2 million. The increase in operating expenses was associated partly
with amounts recognized as bad debt expense in our Mexican subsidiary for $0.5 million and higher expenses in our European subsidiaries related to the weakening of the dollar against the euro throughout 2003. During 2003, we recognized $0.5 million
in higher bad debt expense in Mexico primarily due to the write-off of another receivable of $0.4 million which we believe to be substantially uncollectible.



Corporate Expenses.    Corporate expenses consists of general and administrative expenses at the corporate level to support our operating
segments in areas such as executive management, finance, human resources, management information systems, legal services and investor relations. Corporate expenses for 2003 were approximately $2.4 million more than the corresponding period of 2002
and are attributable to higher insurance premiums, higher depreciation expense for installation of new information systems, higher legal, investment banking and accounting expenses associated with LaSalle credit facility and the Bison notes to
refinance the Bank of America debt, higher consulting fees and outside services, and reduced recoveries of corporate overhead in 2003 to Quantum and the foreign affiliates.



Interest Expense.    Net interest expense for 2003 was approximately $4.0 million compared to $1.0 million
for 2002 due primarily to the carrying value of our debt increasing from $14.3 million at December 31, 2002 to $23.7 million at December 31, 2003. In July 2003, we entered into lending agreements with Bison and LaSalle for $20.0 million and $12.0
million, respectively, for the primary purposes of repaying the Bank of America debt and financing the deferred portion of the BRC 50% acquisition of $7.0 million. The interest rates for Bison and LaSalle were an effective interest rate of 15.9% and
a variable interest rate equal to



37



---

LaSalle Banks prime plus 1%, respectively. As of December 31, 2003, the amount borrowed under the LaSalle line was approximately $5.2 million and the interest
expense recognized in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $0.2 million, which included $77,000 in amortization expense related to debt issuance costs of approximately $0.3 million. Under the Bison loan agreement
interest expense was approximately $1.8 million of which $0.8 million was attributed to the amortization of $2.2 million in deferred debt issuance costs, $2.6 million associated with the fair value of 500,000 warrants issued in connection with the
notes, and the $2.7 million loan discount associated with the difference between the $20.0 million loan amount and the actual net proceeds of $17.3 million. During 2003, we also incurred interest expense in connection with several bridge loans
totaling approximately $4.1 million that were repaid completely by December 2003. Interest expense for the bridge loans included cash payments of approximately $0.5 million and amortization expense of $0.7 million associated with warrants issued to
the holders of the bridge loans. Interest expense in the amount of approximately $0.7 million was recognized during 2003 for the Bank of American terms loans and lines of credit, all of which were repaid in July 2003.



Provision For Income Taxes.    During 2002, we established a
$24.0 million valuation allowance for deferred tax assets on the basis that we believed that it is more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax asset will not be realized and established a valuation allowance for those assets that are not
likely to be utilized in the next three years, notwithstanding that some of these may have longer lives under applicable tax laws. During 2003, we increased by approximately $2.5 million the valuation allowance to $26.5 million on the basis that the
increase in deferred tax asset and related net operating losses from the domestic pre-tax loss in 2003 of $6.1 million would more likely than not be unrecoverable over the next three years. The effect of the increase in the valuation allowance was
that no income tax benefit was recognized for domestic tax purposes during 2003. Federal net operating loss carryforwards of $72.0 million will begin to expire in 2021. We have federal and state research and development credit carryforwards
aggregating approximately $9.7 million. Federal research and development credits totaling $5.1 million will begin to expire in 2009. State research and development credits of $4.6 million have no expiration. As of December 31, 2003, the deferred tax
asset, net of the $26.5 million reserve, was $9.8 million. The income tax expense of $0.7 million during 2003 was attributed to our international operations, which had a pre-tax income of approximately $1.6 million. We believe that, based on our
history of prior operating earnings and our expectations for the future, our operating income will be sufficient to recover the net deferred tax assets within the next three years. Future adverse changes in market conditions, poor operating results
or a decline in our projections about future profitability may affect our assessment of the adequacy of the reserve. In the event that we determine that it is more likely than not that we would be unable to realize an additional portion of our net
deferred tax asset, an additional adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.



Equity Share of Income (Loss) of Unconsolidated Affiliates.    We recognized a $1.1 million expense before tax corresponding to our
share in the losses of unconsolidated affiliates primarily due to our 50% ownership in BRC of Italy for the period of July 22, 2003 to December 31, 2003. Our share of the BRC loss was approximately $0.5 million. The BRC loss was attributed to
reduced revenues of  2.6 million ($3.0 million) and reduced operating income of  2.1 million ($2.4 million) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 compared to the corresponding period of 2002. Foreign exchange transaction loss totaled  0.3 million ($0.3 million) during the fourth quarter of 2003 due to the continued strengthening of the euro relative to other currencies
in which BRC settled transactions. In accordance with the equity method of accounting for business combinations, we recognized amortization expense of $0.3 million for the difference between the book value and the fair value of our



38



---

share of the net assets acquired. The BRC purchase transaction was subsequently completed and closed on March 31, 2005. Impco Accounting for BRC will then include
consolidation into Impcos Financial Statements.



Discontinued
Operation.    We completed the spin-off of Quantum on July 23, 2002. We did not recognize any activity during 2003 related to the discontinued operation. The loss from discontinued operation during the twelve months ended
December 31, 2002 was $10.3 million.



Liquidity and Capital ResourcesFiscal 2004



Our ongoing operations are funded by cash generated from
operations, debt financings and sales of our equity securities. In addition, these sources of cash provide for capital expenditures and research and development, as well as to invest in and operate our existing operations and prospective new lines
of business.



At December 31, 2004, our cash and cash equivalents totaled
approximately $8.4 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.5 million at December 31, 2003.



We currently are party to two significant credit agreements:



| |  |  | an asset-based lending facility with LaSalle dated July 22, 2003, and amended as of March 12, 2004, June 30, 2004 and March 29, 2005. This revolving credit facility carries an interest rate
equal to prime plus 1.0%, which amounted to 6.25% per annum as December 31, 2004, and has a borrowing limit equal to 85% of our eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of $4.5 million or 60% of our eligible inventory as measured from time to
time, subject to reasonable reserves established by LaSalle in its discretion, and as of March 29, 2005 carries a maximum borrowing limit of $9.0 million. This lender has a senior security interest in substantially all of our assets located in the
United States. At December 31, 2004 our outstanding balance under this loan agreement was $7.7 million, and our maximum available borrowing amount based on eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory as of that date was $8.9 million, which
left actual available borrowing capacity of approximately $1.2 million as of that date. In accordance with the Third Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated March 29, 2005, the credit facility was extended by one year and matures on July
18, 2007. Additionally, we negotiated and agreed with LaSalle to amend the loan covenants in effect in the original agreement, as amended, and to replace certain covenants that we achieve certain minimum levels of consolidated and domestic earnings
before interest and taxes adjusted for depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) on a quarterly basis, the quarterly consolidated and domestic fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and the quarterly consolidated and domestic leverage ratio
covenant and incorporate a new covenant that we maintain a minimum defined quarterly level of pre- tax income (income before taxes, minority interest and share in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates) for both domestic and consolidated
basis. We also negotiated revised covenants for domestic and consolidated tangible net worth at December 31, 2004. Although we were out of compliance with the EBITDA, fixed change ratio and leverage ratios at December 31, 2004, the third amendment
to the LaSalle Agreement reserved or set aside these covenants resulting in current compliance with loan covenants. The Companys forecasts for 2005 project continued compliance with the LaSalle covenants.

| |  |  | a loan agreement with MTM pursuant to which we may borrow approximately $22.0 million from MTM. The proceeds of the loan were used to retire approximately $22.0 million of
our indebtedness under the Bison senior subordinated secured note, an

| | amount that includes a prepayment premium and accrued but unpaid interest, which carried an annual interest rate of 18.75% as of December 31, 2004. The MTM loan will
carry a rate equal to 1.5% above 3-month EURIBOR per annum, which was at approximately 3.7% as of December 31, 2004, provided that the rate will increase to 3.5% above 3-month EURIBOR after and during the continuance of a default under the loan
agreement and to 6.5% above 3-month EURIBOR on any unpaid portion of the loan outstanding 30 days after the maturity date of December 31, 2009. The loan will be repaid in quarterly installments beginning on April 1, 2005, each in the amount of not
less than $0.65 million in the first two years, $0.8 million in the third year, $1.0 million in the fourth year and $1.15 million in the final year, with any remaining unpaid principal and interest to be repaid upon maturity. The loan agreement
provides for automatic acceleration of the MTM loan in case of a default due to nonpayment for more than 15 days after the date due or due to the termination of Mariano Costamagna as our Chief Executive Officer or a material breach of his employment
agreement. The loan agreement also provides for acceleration of the loan upon notice from MTM in case of any other default under the agreement. The loan agreement contains restrictive covenants limiting our ability to: terminate Mariano Costamagna
as our Chief Executive Officer, with certain exceptions for termination upon Mr. Costamagnas death, incur additional debt obligations (other than unsecured trade credit, capital leases and additional debt obligations pursuant to the senior
credit facility with LaSalle); merge, consolidate or sell our assets; purchase, retire or redeem our capital stock; and make capital expenditures in excess of $2.5 million in any fiscal year.

During June 2004, our Mexican subsidiary utilized an existing factoring agreement, with
recourse, with Heller Financial in which we received proceeds of approximately $0.9 million. We accounted for this transaction as a secured financing agreement in which we were obligated to repay Heller Financial $0.9 million plus accrued interest
by October 2004 in the event that the factored receivables are not settled. During October 2004, we settled all amounts outstanding in full.



Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.5:1.0 at December 31, 2004 and 2.0:1.0 at December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2004, our total working
capital had decreased by $7.0 million to $15.1 million from $22.1 million at December 31, 2003. Changes in current assets consisted primarily of a $5.3 million decrease in inventory and a $1.1 million decrease in cash offset by an increase of $4.3
million accounts receivable associated with the $43.6 million increase in revenue for the 2004 fiscal year over the 2003 fiscal year and an increase of $2.7 million in receivables from related parties. Changes in current liabilities consist of
increases in lines of credit and current maturities of long-term debt and capital leases of $2.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively.



Net cash used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $1.9 million, compared to $0.8 million provided by operations for the year ended
December 31, 2003. The cash flow used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $1.9 million resulted primarily from a net loss of $15.9 million, adjusted for non-cash charges against income for depreciation and amortization of
$3.8 million, goodwill impairment of $2.8 million and a reduction in the value of the net deferred tax assets of $2.3 million, including a change of $0.9 million for foreign deferred tax assets and $1.4 million of domestic deferred tax assets. The
$1.4 million reduction in domestic deferred tax assets results from an increase of $4.8 million in deferred tax assets and a reduction of $2.9 million in deferred tax liability totalling $7.7 million offset by an increase in the provision for the
deferred tax asset valuation allowance of 9.1 million. This was offset by our share in income of unconsolidated affiliates of $.9 million. The extinguishment of debt, $6.8 million, consists of unamortized portion of Bison



40



---

and Bathgate warrants in the amounts of approximately $1.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, the remaining loan accretion cost in the amount of $2.0 million,
unamortized original debt issuance cost in the amount of approximately $1.6 million and the $1.0 million prepayment penalty. Changes in working capital that positively affected cash flows were an increase of accounts payable of $0.8 million, a
decrease in inventories of $4.1 million and an increase in accrued expenses of $1.5 million, offset entirely by negative cash flows of $4.3 million, $3.6 million and $0.8 million associated with increases of accounts receivable, receivables from
related party and other assets, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2003, cash provided by operating activities was $0.9 million consisting of net loss of $6.9 million, adjusted favorably for non-cash charges for minority interest in
consolidated subsidiaries of $0.6 million, depreciation expense of $3.6 million and share in equity of unconsolidated affiliate of $1.1 million. Working capital changes that negatively affected cash were increases in deferred income taxes, accounts
receivable and inventory totaling $5.7 million offset largely by positive effects on cash flow totaling $6.2 million for increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other assets.



Net cash used in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2004 was $2.3 million, a decrease of $13.0 million from the prior
year. This included $1.3 million in the purchase of equipment and additional BRC acquisition costs of $1.0 million. During the 2003 fiscal year, we invested $13.6 million in the BRC acquisition and $1.7 million in the purchase of capital equipment.



Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December
31, 2004 was $2.5 million or a decrease of $18.2 million from $20.7 million provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2003, consisting primarily of borrowings of $22.9 million under the MTM loan, which was partially offset by
payments to Bison to retire the $21.9 million senior subordinated note, and the repayment of the HSBC line of credit for $0.6 million. During 2003, cash provided by financing activities totaling $20.7 million consisted primarily of the proceeds from
the Bison loan made in July 2003 of $17.3 million and net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $10.6 million partially offset by $6.9 million in payments made to Bank of America to settle outstanding amounts under a loan agreement that was
settled in July 2003.



For the year ended December 31, 2004, net cash
decreased by $1.1 million as compared to a $7.5 million increase in the prior year.



Our subsidiary in the Netherlands has a $3.1 million credit facility with Fortis Bank. At September 30, 2004, there was no outstanding balance under this credit facility.



Subsequent to December 31, 2004 on March 29, 2005 we consummated a third amendment to
our loan agreement with LaSalle Business Credit reducing the maximum commitment amount from $12.0 to $9.0 million, changing certain financial covenants, and extending the loan term until July 18, 2007. At December 31, 2004, and measured upon
finalization of the Companys financial results on March 31, 2005, the Company had not met the then effective covenants prior to the third amendment for EBITDA, Fixed Charge Ratio and Leverage Ratio for both the US and Consolidated Operations.
Because of a cross default agreement with MTM (the successor creditor to Bison), the MTM loan was also then in default. Upon consummation of the third amendment, the EBITDA, Fixed Charge Ratio and Leverage Ratio were reserved and set aside, and the
revised tangible net worth requirements were met by the Company. Consequently, the Company has subsequently satisfied terms of both lending arrangements and is no longer in default. In addition, the proceeds we received from the sale of 4.6 million
shares totaling approximately $23.9, less the $10.0 million use to satisfy the cash portion of the BRC purchase price, provides approximately $13.9 million in working capital

support. We expect to reduce our amount drawn against the LaSalle loan using a portion of these proceeds.



We believe that our existing capital resources together with revenue from continuing operations should be sufficient to fund
operations for at least the next 12 months. This assumes continued compliance with the provisions of our outstanding indebtedness. Because we will need to generate an amount of income from operations in the first quarter of 2005 that is
significantly in excess of the amount we generated in the fourth quarter of 2004, we cannot assure you that we will be in compliance with the LaSalle covenants at that date. In addition, we sold 4.6 million shares of our common stock in February
2005 and realized net proceeds of approximately $23.9 million, and $10 million of those proceeds will be sufficient to fund our acquisition of the remaining 50% equity interest in BRC without depending on cash from continuing operations or from our
other credit arrangements. In addition we have sufficient cash available to payoff the LaSalle loan.



For periods beyond 12 months, we may seek additional financing to fund future operations through future offerings of equity or debt securities or agreements with
corporate partners and collaborators with respect to the development of our technologies and products, or to expand our business strategy to contemplate new technologies or products. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to obtain
additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all.



Our cash requirements
may vary materially from those now planned because of fluctuations in our sales volumes or margins or because of other factors identified in the section below entitled Risk Factors.



Fiscal 2003



As of December 31, 2003, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $9.5 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 million
at December 31, 2002. On July 22, 2003 we refinanced our debt to retire our $11.3 million debt to Bank of America, to finance the $7.0 million deferred payment to complete the 50% acquisition of BRC, and to provide working capital. The debt
restructuring consisted of two new loans. First, we entered into a senior subordinated secured promissory note and a related securities purchase agreement with Bison Capital Structured Equity Partners, LLC (Bison) for an aggregate
borrowing of $20.0 million, with net proceeds of $17.3 million, and we issued to an affiliate of Bison warrants to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock. The Bison loan has a nominal interest rate of 11.25%, subject to certain
adjustments, and matures on July 22, 2007. Interest on the Bison loan is payable monthly in arrears. During periods in which an event of default exists under the Bison loan agreement, the interest rate increases at a rate of 0.50% per month up to a
maximum of 6 months or 3%, and in certain circumstances, interest payments during an event of default can be capitalized, or added to the principal amount outstanding. At the same time, we entered into a revolving loan and security agreement and a
related secured promissory note with LaSalle Business Credit, LLC (LaSalle). The LaSalle loan has a maximum borrowing limit of $12.0 million, with availability based upon a percentage of eligible inventory and eligible accounts
receivable, and has an adjustable interest rate of 1% above LaSalles prime rate as announced from time to time and matures on July 22, 2006. Interest on the LaSalle loan is payable monthly in arrears. During periods in which an event of
default exists under the LaSalle loan agreement, the interest rate increases to 2% above LaSalles prime rate. The Bison and LaSalle loans contain cross-default provisions such that an event of default existing under one loan generally
constitutes an event of default under the other. As of December 31, 2003, our borrowing under the line of credit was approximately $5.2 million with approximately $1.6 million unused and available under the line. On March 12, 2004, we received an
amendment to



42



---

the LaSalle loan agreement to expand the eligible accounts receivable, resulting in an additional $2.6 million of available additional borrowing under this loan. On
December 19, 2003 we sold 1,500,000 shares of common stock to certain institutional investors at $6.40 per share, yielding net proceeds of approximately $9.0 million after discounts and commissions. The offering was conducted as a private placement
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The proceeds of this offering were used to retire short-term debt and for working capital.



Our subsidiary in Japan had a $0.6 million short-term loan facility with the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ltd.,
Osaka Branch. At December 31, 2003, a balance of $0.6 million was outstanding. Our subsidiary in the Netherlands had a secured $2.9 million revocable credit facility with Fortis Bank. At December 31, 2003 there were no borrowings on this facility.



On October 3, 2002, we entered into an option agreement with the
equity holders of BRC. Under the option agreement, we obtained the right to purchase from those equity holders 50% of the outstanding equity interest of BRC for approximately $23.8 million, which included the issuance of approximately 2.3 million
shares of Company common stock (which the parties acknowledged and agreed were valued at $10.0 million). We announced on May 8, 2003 that we had exercised the option and that the purchase of 50% of BRC was completed pending a $7.0 million payment
that represented a deferred portion of the purchase price due on September 30, 2003. On July 22, 2003, immediately after the refinancing of our debt as discussed above, we paid the deferred payment of $7.0 million to the equity holders of BRC
completing the acquisition of the 50% equity interest in BRC. As of December 31, 2003, we had incurred acquisition costs of approximately $24.8 million, which are shown on the consolidated balance sheet as part of investment in affiliates. The
corresponding costs incurred as of December 31, 2002 totaled $12.6 million. We use the equity method of accounting to recognize the investment in and the results of BRC in our consolidated financial results.



As a result of the refinancing of the Bank of America debt and the acquisition of
our 50% equity interest in BRC, we have assumed additional long-term debt, which has increased our financial leverage. Interest costs and related charges since July 2003 have been higher than in prior years and will continue to be a significant use
of funds. The LaSalle and Bison notes have loan terms of three and four years, respectively. Under the Bison agreement, we are obligated to pay off the note in July 2007 in the amount of $20.0 million. Under the LaSalle agreement, which has a
maturity date of July 2006, we are obligated to repay the balance owed at that time under the revolving line of credit, not to exceed $12.0 million. At December 31, 2003 the Company was in default under terms of the LaSalle agreement in failure to
maintain minimum consolidated EBITDA of $4.0 million, to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 0.25:1.00, and to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 8.45:1.00. LaSalle has waived these financial
covenant non-compliance conditions at December 31, 2003. The Company was also in default under terms of the Bison agreement in failure to maintain minimum consolidated EBITDA of $3.5 million and minimum consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed
8.50:1.00. Bison has waived these covenant non-compliance conditions at December 31, 2003. The events of default under these loans will cause our applicable interest rates to increase as long as the circumstances continue unless we are successful in
negotiating amendments to these covenants. The LaSalle loan increases the interest rate to prime plus 2%, which will increase our interest expense and our cash outflows by approximately $25,000 per quarter. Under the Bison loan, the applicable
interest rate increases by 0.5% per month up to a maximum of 3% or six months. We expect that the increase in the Bison interest rate will increase our interest expense by approximately $150,000 during the first quarter of 2004, although in certain
circumstances we are



43



---

permitted to capitalize those interest payments by adding them to the principal balance outstanding under the Bison loan. We also are seeking to revise our financial
covenants in both loans to reflect more conservative estimates of future financial performance. However, we cannot be assured that the lenders will agree to amend our financial covenants or grant further or continuing waivers in the future. If we
cannot obtain the necessary waivers or amendments, or return to compliance with these and all other loan covenants, our lenders may accelerate our debt, foreclose on our assets, or take other legal actions against us which, alone or in the
aggregate, may have a material adverse effect on our business. During 2003, we received proceeds of approximately $4.1 million in bridge loans and $8.0 million in loan commitments. As of December 31, 2003, we had repaid all of the bridge loans and
the loan commitment expired without us exercising our option to borrow under its terms.



Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.0:1.0 at December 31, 2003 as compared to 1.5:1.0 at December 31, 2002. During this same period our total working capital increased by $10.9 million from $11.2 million at
December 31, 2002 to $22.1 million at December 31, 2003. Current assets increased by $8.9 million due primarily to the stock offering in December 2003 yielding net proceeds of $9.0 million and current liabilities decreased by $2.0 million due
primarily to payment of the Bank of America debt that was classified as a current liability at December 31, 2002.



Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2003 was $0.8 million, compared to cash provided by operations for the eight months ended December 31, 2002 of
$1.7 million. The decline in cash flow was attributed to the launch of the Spectrum product line during 2003, which required working capital investments in accounts receivable and inventory in the amounts of $2.4 million and $0.6 million,
respectively. Increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses during 2003 resulted in a $6.2 million source of cash, which provided the necessary working capital to fund the Spectrum launch and to fund the loss from continuing operations of
approximately $2.1 million after the effect of non-cash items totaling $4.8 million. In the eight months ended December 31, 2002, cash flow from operating activities benefited from reductions in inventory and accounts receivables totaling $2.8
million attributed primarily to the 19% decline in revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2002.



Net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 was $15.4 million, an increase of $11.2 million from $4.2 million for the eight
months ended December 31, 2002. This increase is due primarily to costs related to the 50% acquisition of BRC.



Net cash provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 was $20.7 million or an increase of $9.2 million from $11.5 million for the
eight months ended December 31, 2002. During December 2003, we raised approximately $9.0 million in net proceeds from the issuance of 1.5 million shares of common stock to institutional investors.



For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, cash provided by continuing operations
totaled $6.1 million or a decrease of $2.9 million from the eight months ended December 31, 2002.



At December 31, 2003 the Company had received waivers from its two lenders, LaSalle and Bison, for covenant non-compliance conditions at December 31, 2003. In
addition: a) Bison granted the Company a modified EBITDA calculation for 2004 and a further waiver in maintaining its Term Loan status as a long term liability throughout 2004; b) LaSalle granted the Company a favorable amendment on March 12, 2004
which resulted in additional borrowing line capacity of $2.6 million; and c) we believe that LaSalle will work with the



44



---

Company to amend its credit arrangement for the remainder of its term. Accordingly, we believe that the Company has sufficient resources to meet its current financial
obligations and finance its operations over the next twelve months.



Should we be unable to obtain waivers or amendments, the Company believes that its current cash balances, available cash drawn from its subsidiaries, other financing alternatives, our history of being able to raise equity, and our ability
to obtain bridge loans will result in adequate liquidity to continue operations through December 31, 2004.



Derivative Financial Instruments



We
use in the ordinary course of business derivative financial instruments for the purpose of reducing our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. While these hedging instruments are subject to fluctuations in value,
such fluctuations are generally offset by the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. We are not a party to leveraged derivatives and do not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2002, the Company
had entered into one interest rate swap contract, which matures on September 30, 2004. On March 31, 2003, the Company cancelled the interest rate swap and recognized a loss of $117,000 in the carrying value of the swap, which had been accounted for
as a cash flow hedge and included as part of accumulated other comprehensive income, and charged to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the transition period ended December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, we
did not have any foreign exchange forward contracts for the purpose of hedging foreign exchange exposure. On January 5, 2005, our 50% owned affiliate, BRC initiated a foreign exchange forward contract for the purpose of hedging against foreign
currency devaluations that might occur in the future between the euro and the U.S. Dollar in connection with the December 22, 2004 $22.0 million loan made between IMPCO and MTM, a subsidiary of BRC.



Foreign Currency Management.The results and financial
condition of our international operations are affected by changes in exchange rates between certain foreign currencies and the U.S. Dollar. Our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates has increased as a result of the growth of our
international subsidiaries. The functional currency for all of our international subsidiaries is the local currency of the subsidiary. An increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar increases the costs incurred by our subsidiaries, as most of our
international subsidiaries inventory purchases are U.S. Dollar denominated, and thus the cost of our products, adversely affecting our competitiveness and profitability. We monitor this risk and attempt to minimize the exposure through the
management of cash disbursements in local currencies and, when deemed appropriate, the use of forward currency contracts. At December 31, 2004, we had no forward currency contracts. We seek to manage our foreign currency economic risk by minimizing
our U.S. Dollar investment in foreign operations using foreign currency term-loans to finance the operations of our foreign subsidiaries. At December 31, 2003, we have a single foreign exchange forward contract of approximately $0.5 million in which
gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations as the fair value of the contracts fluctuates. On December 22, 2004, we concluded the $22.0 million loan agreement with MTM in which MTM recorded a related party receivable on its books
for $22.0 and IMPCO recorded a corresponding related party liability on its books for the same amount. Under the agreement, the loan will be settled in U.S. dollars. MTM, an Italian company, records transactions on its books using the euro as its
reporting currency, and, accordingly, recorded a pre-tax transaction loss of approximately $327,000 on foreign exchange at December 31, 2004 reflecting the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar from December 22, 2004 to December 31, 2004
of 1.337 dollars to the euro to 1.364 dollars to the euro. Our



45



---

share in the transaction loss on foreign exchange was 50% of the amount recorded by MTM, or approximately $163,500 on a pre-tax basis. This amount, net of applicable
taxes, is reflected on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 as part of the share in the income of unconsolidated affiliates. We measured the impact on our statement of operations of a hypothetical 10%
increase and a 10% decrease of the spot rate of the euro to the U.S. dollar based on a starting point of 1.337 dollars to the euro as of December 22, 2004 applied to the loan balance of $22.0 million and determined that a 10% strengthening of the
euro to the dollar would result in a pre-tax loss on foreign exchange on MTMs books of approximately $1.5 million, and, conversely, if the euro weakened against the dollar, the impact would be an approximate gain on foreign exchange of $1.8
million. Our share in these pre-tax amounts would be an additional expense of approximately $0.75 million and a gain of approximately $0.9 million, respectively.



The Financial Accounting Standards board has issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging
Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138 Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-An Amendment of SFASB No. 133, which require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair
market value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in fair value of the derivatives will either be offset against the
change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivatives change in fair
value will be immediately recognized in earnings.



Debt
Obligations.    The following table summarizes our debt obligations at December 31, 2004. The interest rates represent weighted average rates, with the period end rate used for the variable rate debt obligations. The fair
value of the debt obligations approximated the recorded value as of December 31, 2004 (U.S. dollar equivalent in thousands).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements



FASB 123R, (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payment
sets accounting requirements for share-based compensation to employees, including employee-stock-purchase-



46



---

plans (ESPPs) and provides guidance on accounting for awards to non-employees. This statement will require us to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair
value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees, but expresses no preference for a type of valuation model. For public entities, this statement is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2005.
We will adopt this statement in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and we are evaluating this pronouncements effect on our financial position and net income.



FASB 151, Inventory Costs eliminates the so abnormal criterion in ARB 43 Inventory Pricing. This
statement no longer permits a company to capitalize inventory costs on their balance sheets when the production defect rate varies significantly from the expected rate. The statement reduces the differences between U.S. and international accounting
standards. This statement is effective for inventory cost incurred during annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt this statement in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. We do not believe that this pronouncement will have a material
effect on our financial position and net income.



In December 2004, the
FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS109-1 (FSP FAS 109-1), Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, for the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004. FSP FAS 109-1 clarifies that the deduction will be treated as a special deduction as described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As such, the special deduction
has no effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities existing at the date of enactment. The impact of the deduction will be reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed. We are currently assessing the financial impact of FSP FAS 109-1 on
our consolidated financial statements.



In December 2004, the FASB issued
FASB Staff Position FAS 109-2, Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision Within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) (FSP FAS 109-2) to allow additional time beyond the financial
reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Act on IMPCOs plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of calculating the income tax provision. We are currently assessing the financial impact of FSP
FAS 109-2 on our consolidated financial statements.



In December 2004,
the FASB issued the Statement of Financial Account Standards No. 153, Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets, An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (SFAS No. 153). SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. SFAS No.
153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, and replaces it with an exception for exchanges
that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No.
153 shall be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date this Statement is
issued. The provisions of this Statement shall be applied prospectively. We are currently assessing the financial impact of SFAS No. 153 on our consolidated financial statements.

RISK FACTORS



We currently have substantial debt that we may be unable to service.



We are highly leveraged and have significant debt service obligations. As of December 31, 2004, we had aggregate outstanding
indebtedness of $39.9 million and total stockholders equity of $44.8 million. Our loan agreement with LaSalle Business Credit, LLC, (LaSalle) has a maximum borrowing limit of $9.0 million, which was limited based on our
eligible accounts receivable and our eligible inventory as of December 31, 2004, to approximately $8.9 million. Of that amount, $7.7 million was outstanding under the LaSalle loan agreement as of that same date, leaving approximately $1.2 million
unused and available.



We have borrowed approximately $22.0 million
from MTM, and MTM has incurred an additional $13.0 million of indebtedness in connection with the BRC acquisition. This loan may be accelerated in the event that any payment is not made within 15 days of the date when due, the termination of Mariano
Costamagnas employment for any reason whatsoever, with limited exceptions for termination occasioned by his death or we materially breach Mariano Costamagnas employment agreement. The MTM loan agreement also provides for acceleration of
the loan upon notice from MTM in case of any other default under the loan agreement. Also, Mariano Costamagna and Pier Antonio Costamagna have guaranteed the MTM loan. In return for Messrs. Costamagnas guarantee, we have pledged our equity
interest in BRC as collateral in the event the guarantee is utilized. In addition, as of December 31, 2004, BRC had other outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.2 million.



Our substantial debt subjects us to numerous risks, including the following:



| |  |  | we will be required to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay interest on our debt, thereby reducing cash available to fund working capital, capital expenditures,
strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances, and other general corporate requirements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our leverage may increase our vulnerability to general economic downturns and adverse competitive and industry conditions and may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to those of
our competitors that are less leveraged;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our debt service obligations may limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our level of debt may make it difficult for us to raise additional financing on satisfactory terms; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if we do not comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our debt instruments, any such failure could, if not cured or waived, have a material adverse effect on our ability
to fulfill our obligations and on our business or prospects generally, including the possibility that our lenders might foreclose on our assets.

We also may directly or indirectly incur additional indebtedness in connection with the current BRC acquisition or with our ongoing operations. Although
management expects a substantial reduction in interest expense after the closing of the BRC acquisition as a result of the redemption of our senior subordinated secured note, our loans after the acquisition will continue to represent significant
indebtedness and will impose substantial limitations on our ability to respond to changes in our operational circumstances or in our strategic goals.

We have recently been in default under our primary debt facilities, and we cannot assure you that we will be
able to avoid events of default or noncompliance in the future, to obtain amendments to our debt facilities, or to reference our indebtedness if events of default were to occur.



Our debt requires us to maintain specified financial ratios and meet specific financial tests. For example, our amended loan agreement
with LaSalle requires us to generate specified amounts of pre-tax income before income tax, tested quarterly during 2005 and on a rolling basis thereafter. Our failure to comply with these covenants would result in events of default that, if not
cured or waived, could result in us being required to repay these borrowings before their due date. If we were unable to make a required repayment or refinance these borrowings, our lenders could foreclose on our assets. If we were unable to
refinance these borrowings on favorable terms, our business could be adversely impacted.



At December 31, 2003, March 31, 2004, April 30, 2004 and at June 30, 2004, we were in default on the LaSalle loan for not meeting certain financial measurement covenants at each of these dates. We paid LaSalle amendment fees of
$85,000 in the aggregate and obtained waivers of these events of noncompliance at December 31, 2003, May 7, 2004, and at June 30, 2004, respectively. We are currently paying a rate of interest at prime plus 1%, which at December 31, 2004 was equal
to 6.25%. In October 2004, we concluded negotiations with LaSalle and executed an agreement, effective June 30, 2004, which revised the financial covenants to be more consistent with our business projections through the end of the previously amended
term of the loan in 2006. As of December 31, 2004, we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, as amended by the third amendment to our loan agreement dated March 29, 2005. However, we cannot assure you that we will
remain in compliance with the amended terms.



The terms of our debt
may severely limit our ability to plan for or respond to changes in our business.



Our debt agreements contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on our operations. Among other things, these restrictions limit our ability to:



| |  |  | change our Chief Executive Officer;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | incur liens or make negative pledges on our assets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | merge, consolidate, or sell our assets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | incur additional debt;
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | pay dividends, redeem capital stock or prepay other debt;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | make investments and acquisitions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | make capital expenditures; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | amend our debt instruments and certain other material agreements.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



Mariano and Pier Antonio Costamagna have guaranteed our performance under the MTM loan and, in connection with those guarantees, we have pledged our BRC
equity interest and made certain other concessions to the founders.



Because of certain requirements arising under Italian law, Mariano and Pier Antonio Costamagna have jointly and severally guaranteed our performance under the MTM loan



50



---

agreement. In order to secure their recourse in the event that guaranty is exercised and the founders are required to make payments of the amounts due, we have pledged
to the founders our initial 50% interest in BRC, and upon consummation of the BRC acquisition, we have pledged to the founders the remaining 50% interest in BRC that we acquired pursuant to the BRC acquisition. If we fail to perform the terms of the
MTM loan and the founders are required to fulfill their guarantees, the founders may require us to reimburse them for their payments as guarantors, or they may take possession of our equity interest in BRC, or both. If the founders were to take
possession of the BRC equity interest in total or partial satisfaction of their rights under the pledge agreement, we would lose our rights to participate in BRCs earnings and assets. This could have a material adverse effect upon our earnings
or our assets.



We have a history of significant cash outflows that
may limit our ability to grow and may materially and adversely impact our prospective revenues and liquidity.



Until recently, we have experienced operating losses and net cash outflows. At December 31, 2004, our cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $8.4 million
and our working capital was $15.1 million. We have experienced significant cash outflows in connection with our initial equity investment in BRC and servicing our debt, and based upon our eligible accounts receivable and our eligible
inventory as of December 31, 2004 our funds available for borrowing under our senior secured credit facility were approximately $8.9 million, of which approximately $7.7 million was outstanding, leaving approximately $1.2 million unused and
available. As of December 31, 2004, we had total stockholders equity of $44.8 million and an accumulated deficit of $90.9 million. Moreover, our loan agreement with MTM requires us to repay to MTM the principal according to the
following schedule, with an additional $5.0 million balloon payment of accrued interest and unpaid principal due on December 31, 2009:



|                                         |  |                        |

|March 31, 2009 through December 31, 2009 |  | $                      | 1,150,000



Our current cash position and
upcoming cash obligations, including, but not limited to, cash we expect to expend for general and administrative expenses associated with the BRC acquisition and in connection with Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance, especially if combined with stagnant
or declining revenues, may force us to take steps such as personnel reductions or curtailment of growth as a means to manage our liquidity. Such measures could have an adverse impact on our production capacity, our growth strategy, or other aspects
of our business that might have a material adverse impact on results of operations. In some instances, these impacts may last beyond the term of the immediate cash shortfall.



Changes in stock option accounting rules may adversely impact our reported operating results prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, our stock price and our competitiveness in the employee marketplace.



Technology companies in general and our company in particular have a history of depending upon and using broad based employee stock option programs to hire,
incentivize and retain employees in a competitive marketplace. Currently, we do not recognize compensation expense for stock options issued to employees or directors, except in limited cases involving



51



---

modifications of stock options, and we instead disclose in the notes to our financial statements information about what such charges would be if they were expensed. An
accounting standard setting body has recently adopted a new accounting standard that will require us to record equity-based compensation expense for stock options and employee stock purchase plan rights granted to employees based on the fair value
of the equity instrument at the time of grant. We will be required to record these expenses beginning with our third quarter of fiscal 2005. The change in accounting rules will lead to increased reported net loss or, should we become profitable, a
decrease in reported earnings. This may negatively impact our future stock price. In addition, this change in accounting rules could impact our ability to utilize broad based employee stock plans to reward employees and could result in a competitive
disadvantage to us in the employee marketplace.



Our business may
be subject to product liability claims, which could be expensive and could divert managements attention.



We face exposure to product liability claims if our products (or the equipment into which our products are incorporated) malfunction in a way that results or is
alleged to have resulted in personal injury or death, or property damage. We may be named in product liability actions even if there is no evidence that our systems or components caused a loss. Product liability claims could result in significant
losses from defense costs or damages awards. The sale of our systems and components entails a high risk of these claims. In addition, we may be required to participate in a recall involving these systems if any of our systems prove to be defective,
or we may voluntarily initiate a recall or make payments related to such claims as a result of various industry or business practices or the need to maintain good customer relationships. Each of these actions would likely harm our reputation and
lead to substantial expense. We cannot assure you that product liability insurance will be sufficient to cover all product liability claims, that such claims will not exceed our insurance coverage limits or that such insurance will continue to be
available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Any product liability claim brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.



We may be subject to increased warranty claims.



In response to consumer demand, vehicle and industrial equipment manufacturers have been providing, and may continue to provide,
increasingly longer warranty periods for their products, thus requiring their suppliers, such as us, to provide correspondingly longer product warranties. Due to the longer warranty periods, we could incur substantially greater warranty claims in
the future. We establish a reserve for warranty claims by taking a charge against earnings at the time that such earnings are recognized based on our historical claims experience. Our warranty expense for the 12 months ended December 31, 2003 was
approximately $0.4 million and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 was $0.8 million. Our warranty reserve as of December 31, 2004 was $1.4 million. Our warranty expense is determined by examining revenues against our historical
cost of warranty claims. This reserve necessarily involve estimates of future claims, and actual claims, the cost of resolving such claims, or both may exceed our estimates and may be greater than our established reserves. If that were to occur, we
may experience increased warranty expenses, which would adversely affect our results of operations.



We depend on our intellectual property, and our failure to protect that intellectual property could adversely affect our future growth and success.



We rely on patent, trademark, and copyright law, trade secret
protection, and confidentiality and other agreements with our employees, customers, partners, and with the



52



---

BRC founders and others to protect our intellectual property. However, much of our intellectual property is not covered by any patent or patent application and,
despite our precautions, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use our intellectual property without authorization and without affording us an adequate remedy.



Furthermore, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the
United States. For instance, it may be difficult for us to enforce certain of our intellectual property rights against third parties who may have inappropriately acquired interests in our intellectual property rights by filing unauthorized patent or
trademark applications in foreign countries to register rights that belong to us. This disparity in protection of intellectual property rights affects us significantly because we do a substantial portion of our business in international markets,
particularly in developing countries where the issue is most acute.



Those patents we own are not likely to provide us with meaningful commercial protection of our products, and patent applications that we file may not result in issued patents. Moreover, patent applications and issued patents may be
challenged or invalidated. We could incur substantial costs in prosecuting our patent applications or defending patent infringement suits that may arise.



As part of our confidentiality procedures, we generally have entered into non-disclosure agreements with our employees, consultants, and corporate partners and we
have attempted to control access to and distribution of our technologies, documentation, and other proprietary information. Despite these procedures, third parties could copy or otherwise obtain and make unauthorized use of our technologies or
independently develop similar technologies. The steps we have taken and that we may take in the future may not prevent misappropriation of our solutions or technologies, particularly in foreign countries where laws or law enforcement practices may
not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States.



We
cannot assure you that we will be successful in protecting our proprietary rights. Any infringement of our intellectual property rights could have an adverse effect on our ability to develop and sell successfully commercially competitive systems and
components.



If third parties claim that our products infringe
their intellectual property rights, we may be forced to expend significant financial resources and management time, and our operating results would suffer.



Third parties may claim that our products and systems infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights. Identifying
third-party patent rights can be particularly difficult, especially since patent applications are not published until 18 months after their filing dates. If a competitor were to challenge our patents, or assert that our products or processes
infringe its patent or other intellectual property rights, we could incur substantial litigation costs, be forced to design around their patents, pay substantial damages or even be forced to cease our operations, any of which could be expensive
and/or have an adverse effect on our operating results. Third-party infringement claims, regardless of their outcome, would not only drain our financial resources, but also would divert the time and effort of our management and could result in our
customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of the affected products or services until resolution of the litigation.



53



---

We are dependent on certain key customers, and the loss of one or more customers could have a material
adverse effect on our business.



A substantial portion of our
business results from sales to key customers. During fiscal years 2003 and 2004, sales to these customers accounted for 44% and 56% of our revenue, respectively. If several of these key customers were to reduce their orders substantially, we would
suffer a decline in revenue and profits, and those declines may be material and adverse.



Mariano Costamagnas employment agreement and the terms of the MTM loan may limit our board of directors ability to effect changes in our senior
management.



Mariano Costamagna, BRCs co-founder and our
director, has entered into an employment agreement, pursuant to which he became our Chief Executive Officer until May 31, 2009. Mariano Costamagnas employment will include an initial base salary of $360,000 annually, as well as bonuses,
benefits and expenses. If, during the term of his employment, we terminate Mr. Costamagnas employment other than for cause, or if Mr. Costamagna resigns for good reason, we must pay Mr. Costamagna a severance payment
equal to $5.0 million (subject to certain limited reductions if Mr. Costamagna sells more than 20% of the stock he has received in connection with our acquisition of BRC). The required severance payment may limit our board of directors ability
to decide whether to retain or replace Mr. Costamagna or to reallocate management responsibilities among our senior executives, a fact that may, in certain circumstances, have an adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition.
Moreover, the loan to us from MTM can be accelerated in the event that Mr. Costamagnas employment is terminated for any reason (with limited exceptions for termination upon Mr. Costamagnas death) or if we otherwise materially breach his
employment agreement.



We depend on third-party suppliers for key
materials and components for our products.



We have established
relationships with third-party suppliers that provide materials and components for our products. A suppliers failure to supply materials or components in a timely manner or to supply materials and components that meet our quality, quantity or
cost requirements, combined with a delay in our ability to obtain substitute sources for these materials and components in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to us, would harm our ability to manufacture our products or would significantly
increase our production costs, either of which would negatively impact our results of operations and business. In addition, IMPCO relies on a limited number of suppliers for certain high quality IMPCO proprietary precision die cast parts as well as
dress engines for use in our products. Approximately 61% of IMPCOs raw materials are supplied by ten entities. We could incur significant costs in the event that we are forced to utilize alternative suppliers.



Our business could be harmed if we fail to meet original equipment manufacturer
specifications.



We offer integrated alternative fuel systems,
which include tanks, brackets, electronics, software, and other components required to allow these products to operate in alternative fuel applications. We sell these products principally to original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, customers. Our
OEM customers require that these products meet strict standards. Our compliance with these requirements has resulted in increased development, manufacturing, warranty and administrative costs. A significant increase in these costs could adversely
affect our profitability. If we fail to meet OEM specifications on a timely basis, our relationships with OEMs may be harmed.



54



---

We may experience unionized labor disputes at original equipment manufacturer facilities.



As we become more dependent on vehicle conversion programs with OEMs, we will
become increasingly dependent on OEM production and the associated labor forces at OEM sites. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, direct OEM product sales accounted for 60% and 68% of IMPCOs revenues, respectively. Labor
unions represent most of the labor forces at OEM facilities. In the past, labor disputes have occurred at OEM facilities, which adversely impacted our direct OEM product sales. Such labor disputes are likely to occur in the future and, if so, will
negatively impact our sales and profitability.



Adverse
currency fluctuations may hinder our ability to economically procure key materials and services from overseas vendors and suppliers, may affect the value of our debt, and may affect our sales margins.



We have significant operations outside of the United States. As a result, we engage in
business relationships and transactions that involve many different currencies. Exchange rates between our functional currencies (the U.S. dollar and the Euro) and the local currencies in these foreign locations where we do business can vary
unpredictably. These variations may have an effect on the prices we pay for key materials and services from overseas vendors in our functional currencies under agreements that are priced in local currencies. If exchange rates with local currencies
decline, our effective costs for such materials and services would increase, adversely affecting our profitability.



We face risks associated with marketing, distributing, and servicing our products internationally.



In addition to the Unites States, we currently operate in Australia, Europe, India,
Japan, and Mexico, and market our products and technologies in other international markets, including both industrialized and developing countries. During the year ended December 31, 2004, approximately 55% of IMPCOs revenue was derived from
sales to customers located within the United States, and the remaining 45% was derived from sales in Asia, Europe, and Latin America where economics and fuel availability make our products more competitive. Additionally, approximately 73% of
IMPCOs employees and 75% of IMPCOs approximately 400 distributors and dealers worldwide are located outside the United States. Our combined international operations are subject to various risks common to international activities, such as
the following:



| |  |  | our ability to maintain good relations with our overseas employees and distributors and to collect amounts owed from our overseas customers;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expenses and administrative difficulties associated with maintaining a significant labor force outside the United States, including without limitation the need to comply with employment and
tax laws and to adhere to the terms of real property leases and other financing arrangements in foreign nations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | exposure to currency fluctuations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations and intellectual property rights;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | complying with a wide variety of laws and regulations, including product certification, environmental, and import and export laws;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the challenges of operating in disparate geographies and cultures;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | political and economic instability; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties collecting international accounts receivable.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



55



---

We derive income from unconsolidated foreign companies that we do not control.



A portion of our income is generated from the operations of unconsolidated foreign
subsidiaries in which we hold minority interests. Although the agreements that govern our relationships with these entities provide us with some level of control over our investments, we do not have the ability to control their day-to-day operations
or their management. As a result, we cannot control these entities, ability to generate income. As of December 31, 2004, we no longer fully consolidate our operations in Mexico and India due to our ownership share equal to 50% and we no longer have
effective control over these entities.



We are highly dependent on
certain key personnel.



We are highly dependent on the services
of Mariano Costamagna and of our Chief Operations Officer, Brad Garner. These two executives will be extensively involved in, or will directly or indirectly oversee, virtually every aspect of our day-to-day operations. Were we to lose the services
of either or both of these executives, we would be at significant risk of declining revenue or operating income. Moreover, the loan to us from MTM can be accelerated in the event that Mariano Costamagna is terminated by us for any reason, with
certain limitations for termination occasioned by his death, or if we materially breach his employment agreement.



Our business is directly and significantly affected by regulations relating to vehicle emissions. If current regulations are repealed or if the implementation
of current regulations is suspended or delayed, our revenues may decrease. In addition, we rely on emissions regulations, the adoption of which is out of our control, to stimulate our growth.



Our business has fluctuated significantly as a result of regulation of vehicle
emissions. For example, our 78% increase in revenue from U.S. operations during fiscal year 2004 over fiscal year 2003 is primarily attributable to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) recently promulgated regulations requiring
strict emission certification requirements for nonroad spark-ignition engines over 19 KW (25 hp). If regulations relating to vehicle emissions are amended in a manner that may allow for less strict standards, or if the implementation of such
standards is delayed or suspended, the demand for our products and services could diminish and our revenues could decrease. In addition, demand for our products and services may be adversely affected by the perception that emission regulations will
be suspended or delayed.



We are subject to certification
requirements and other regulations and future more stringent regulations may impair our ability to market our products.



We must obtain product certification from governmental agencies, such as the EPA and the California Air Resources Board, to sell certain of our products in the
United States, and must obtain other product certification requirements in other countries. A significant portion of our future sales will depend upon sales of fuel management products that are certified to meet existing and future air quality and
energy standards. We cannot assure you that our products will continue to meet these standards. The failure to comply with these certification requirements could result in the recall of our products or civil or criminal penalties.



Any new government regulation that affects our alternative fuel technologies, whether
at the foreign, federal, state, or local level, including any regulations relating to installation and service of these systems, may increase our costs and the price of our systems. As a result, these regulations may have a negative impact on our
revenue and profitability and thereby harm our business, prospects, results of operations, or financial condition.



56



---

Declining oil prices may adversely affect the demand for our products.



We believe that our sales in recent periods have been favorably impacted by increased
consumer demand promoted by rising oil prices. Oil prices are highly volatile and have recently reached historically high levels. Reductions in oil prices may occur, and demand for our products could decline in the event of fluctuating, and
particularly decreasing, market prices.



Changes in tax policies
may reduce or eliminate the economic benefits that make our products attractive to consumers.



In some jurisdictions, such as the United States, governments provide tax benefits for clean-air vehicles, including tax credits, rebates and reductions in
applicable tax rates. In certain of our markets these benefits extend to vehicles powered by our systems. From time to time, governments change tax policies in ways that create benefits such as those for our customers. Reductions or eliminations in
these benefits may adversely affect our revenues.



The potential
growth of the alternative fuel products market will have a significant impact on our business.



Our future success depends on the continued global expansion of the gaseous fuel industry. Many countries currently have limited or no infrastructure to deliver
natural gas and propane. Major growth of the international markets for gaseous fuel vehicles is significantly dependent on international politics, governmental policies and restrictions related to business management. In the United States,
alternative fuels such as natural gas currently cannot be readily obtained by consumers for motor vehicle use and only a small percentage of motor vehicles manufactured in 2003 for the United States were equipped to use alternative fuels. Users of
gaseous fuel vehicles may not be able to obtain fuel conveniently and affordably, which may adversely affect the demand for our products. We do not expect this trend to improve in the United States in the foreseeable future. Our ability to attract
customers and sell products successfully in the alternative fuel industry also depends significantly on the current price differential between liquid fuels and gaseous fuels. We cannot assure you that the global market for gaseous fuel engines will
expand broadly or, if it does, that it will result in increased sales of our fuel system products. In addition, we have designed many of our products for gaseous fuel vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, but not for other power sources,
such as electricity or alternate forms of power. If the major growth in the gaseous fuel market relates solely to those power sources, our revenues may not increase and may decline.



We currently face and will continue to face significant competition, which could result in a decrease in our revenue.



We currently compete with companies that manufacture products
to convert liquid-fueled internal combustion engines to gaseous fuels. Increases in the market for alternative fuel vehicles may cause automobile or engine manufacturers to develop and produce their own fuel conversion or fuel management equipment
rather than purchasing the equipment from suppliers such as us. In addition, greater acceptance of alternative fuel engines may result in new competitors. Should any of these events occur, the total potential demand for our products could be
adversely affected and cause us to lose existing business.



New
technologies could render our existing products obsolete.



New
developments in technology may negatively affect the development or sale of some or all of our products or make our products obsolete. Our inability to enhance existing products in a timely manner or to develop and introduce new products that
incorporate new technologies,



57



---

conform to increasingly stringent emission standards and performance requirements, and achieve market acceptance in a timely manner could negatively impact our
competitive position. New product development or modification is costly, involves significant research, development, time and expense, and may not necessarily result in the successful commercialization of any new products.



Our spin-off of our Quantum subsidiary is subject to tax risks for us and our
stockholders, including restrictions on our or Quantums issuance of equity securities in order to maintain the tax-free status of the spin-off.



At the time of our spin-off of Quantum on July 23, 2002, we received an opinion of Morrison & Foerster LLP to the effect that the spin-off was tax-free to
our stockholders for federal income tax purposes. The opinion of Morrison & Foerster LLP is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, and we can offer no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts will agree with their opinion.
The opinion was also subject to specific assumptions and the accuracy and completeness of specific factual representations and statements made by us and Quantum, and we are subject to certain limitations on changes in our capital structure following
the Quantum transaction. If these assumptions, representations, or statements are incorrect or incomplete in any material respect, the conclusions set forth in the opinion may not be correct. Similarly, we can provide no assurances that our issuance
of stock to the founders or in various post-spin-off equity issuances will not adversely impact the tax-free character of the Quantum spin-off.



Even if the spin-off is tax-free to our stockholders, it will be taxable to us if Section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code applies to the spin-off. Section
355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code will apply if 50% or more of our stock or Quantum stock, by vote or value, is acquired by one or more persons, other than our historic stockholders who received Quantum common stock in the spin-off, acting
pursuant to a plan or a series of related transactions that includes the spin-off. We cannot provide you any assurance that Section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code will not apply to the spin-off. Risk of the applicability of Section 355(e) of
the Internal Revenue Code may also discourage, delay, or prevent a merger, change of control, or other strategic or capital raising transactions involving our outstanding equity or issuance of new equity.



Provisions of Delaware law and of our charter and bylaws may make it more
difficult to take over our company, a fact that may reduce our stock price.



Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and in the Delaware corporation law and in our loan agreement with MTM may make it difficult and expensive for a third party to pursue a tender offer, change in control
or takeover attempt that our management and board of directors oppose. Public stockholders that might desire to participate in one of these transactions may not have an opportunity to do so. We also have a staggered board of directors, which makes
it difficult for stockholders to change the composition of the board of directors in any one year. In addition, the loan to us from MTM can be accelerated in the event that Mariano Costamagna is terminated by us for any reason, with certain
limitations for termination occasioned by his death, or if we materially breach his employment agreement. These anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of public stockholders to benefit from a change in control or to change
our management and board of directors.



We have a stockholders
rights agreement that provides for a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of our common stock. Upon the occurrence of certain events, including a person or entitys acquisition of 15% or more of our common stock, each right will
entitle the holder to purchase, at an exercise price of $45 per right, common stock with a market value



58



---

equal to twice the exercise price, which could cause substantial dilution. The rights agreement may have the effect of deterring, delaying, or preventing a change in
control that might otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.



Future sales of our common stock could adversely affect our stock price.



Substantial sales of our common stock, including shares issued upon exercise of our outstanding options and warrants, in the public market or the perception by the
market that these sales could occur, could lower our stock price or make it difficult for us to raise additional equity. As of December 31, 2004, and giving effect as of that date to the 4.6 million shares issued in our February 2005 equity
offering, we had 23,337,437 shares of common stock outstanding, excluding 68,885 shares issued but held by IMPCO as treasury stock. Of these shares, 22,412,911 shares are currently freely tradable and 924,526 shares, which otherwise are freely
tradable, are subject to a lockup agreement that restricts their resale until certain dates in 2005 and 2006. The following table presents the relevant expiration dates and the number of shares as to which the lockup agreement expires:



|                 |  |                                   
|---------------- |  | ----------------------------------

|February 1, 2006 |  | 463,925                           



As of December 31, 2004 up to
775,000 shares of our common stock were issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding as of that date, all of which may be freely tradable upon exercise thereof. We issued an additional 5,098,284 shares of common stock in connection with the
BRC acquisition. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2004, up to 3,650,533 shares are issuable upon the exercise of options of which 1,219,494 are vested. Subject to applicable vesting and registration requirements, upon exercise of these options the
underlying shares may be resold into the public market. In the case of outstanding options and warrants that have exercise prices less than the market price of our common stock from time to time, investors would experience dilution. We cannot
predict if future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for sale, will harm the market price of our common stock or our ability to raise capital by offering equity securities.



The issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with the BRC acquisition
will significantly reduce the percentage interests of your investment in us.



The transaction was completed on March 31, 2005, and we have issued to the founders 5,098,284 shares of our common stock. The founders own, in the aggregate and including the shares previously issued in connection with our
acquisition of the initial 50% interest in BRC and giving effect to the 4.6 million shares issued in our February 2005 equity offering, approximately 24.2% of our common stock. The issuance of shares in this transaction has thus significantly
reduced the relative percentage interests of our current stockholders (including voting interest and liquidation and book value). In any case, the issuance of these shares may adversely impact the market value of our shares. The issuance of
additional shares of our common stock in future transactions might exacerbate one or more of these impacts.



The market price of our common stock may decline after the BRC acquisition.



The market price of our common stock may decline after the BRC acquisition for a number of reasons, including if:



| |  |  | investors reach an unfavorable impression about the transaction or about one or more aspects of our combined operations with BRC;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



59



---

| |  |  | we do not achieve the expected benefits of the transaction as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the effect of the transaction on our financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the BRC founders and other of our significant stockholders decide to dispose of substantial numbers of shares of our common stock in the future.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If we do not complete our announced research and development facility
consolidation activities as expected, or even if we do so, we may not achieve all the benefits we anticipate.



As announced on March 14, 2005, we expected to relocate research and development facilities and key personnel from our Seattle, Washington research and development
facility to our Cerritos, California headquarters in an effort to reduce the inefficiencies, expense and logistical difficulties associated with maintaining an additional facility, and improve our integration of research and development personnel
into operations. Upon subsequent management review, we have revised our plans to include continuing to operate the Seattle facility continuously, but at a reduced level. The process of moving research and development equipment can be complicated.
While we believe our consolidation actions will reduce our cost structure, if we encounter delays in moving operations we may not achieve the cost reductions we are expecting. Also, we may find that even if we complete these activities as planned,
we may not realize all the benefits we expected.



Class action
litigation due to stock price volatility or other factors could cause us to incur substantial costs and divert our managements attention and resources.



In the past, securities class action litigation often has been brought against a company following periods of volatility in the market
price of its securities. Companies in the technology industries are particularly vulnerable to this kind of litigation due to the high volatility of their stock prices. Accordingly, we may in the future be the target of securities litigation. Any
securities litigation could result in substantial costs and could divert the attention and resources of our management.



Loans to one of our executive officers may have been amended in violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.



In December 2000, we lent Dale Rasmussen, our Senior Vice President and Secretary,
$100,000. In September 2001, we lent to Mr. Rasmussen an additional $175,000. These loans were due and payable in full on July 31, 2002. The first loan was repaid in full on March 8, 2004, and approximately $102,000 remains outstanding on the second
loan as of December 31, 2004. As a result, the SEC may take the position that this loan is a violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.



Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which became effective on June 30, 2002, prohibits us from directly or indirectly extending or maintaining credit,
arranging for the extension of credit, or renewing an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any of our directors or executive officers. An extension of credit maintained by us on June 30, 2002 is not subject to these
prohibitions so long as there is no renewal or material modification to any such loan after that date. Because we did not recover the amounts due under these loans on or before their maturity date, we may be found to have materially modified or
renewed Mr. Rasmussens loans after the effective date of Section 402. If the SEC were to institute proceedings to enforce a violation of this statute, or if one or more shareholders were to bring a lawsuit alleging that this circumstance
represents a breach of our directors fiduciary



60



---

duties, we may become a party to litigation over these matters, and the outcome of such litigation (including criminal or civil sanctions by the SEC or damages in a
civil lawsuit), alone or in addition to the costs of litigation, may materially and adversely affect our business.



Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sec. 382 and 383, certain changes in ownership structure may partially or fully limit future use of net operating losses and
tax credits available to offset future taxable income and future tax liabilities, respectively. Such changes in ownership may have occurred during the year ended December 31, 2004, and subsequently.



As announced subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company sold 4.6
million shares of its common stock in a public offering for the purposes of providing the cash portion of the BRC purchase price and for working capital. In addition, on March 31, 2005, the BRC purchase transaction was closed, resulting in the
issuance of 5.1 million shares of the Companys common stock. These common stock issuances, when measured against other historical common stock issuances and application to the IRS code, may result in a limitation on our realization of deferred
tax assets. Consequently, the Companys net deferred tax assets of $8.4 million at December 31, 2004 may be reduced in the future if this limitation occurs.

(1) Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting



Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Companys internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.



During the third quarter of 2005, we determined that our assessment of the internal controls over financial reporting that we had reported in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 was incomplete due to correction of errors attributed to fiscal year 2004 that were discovered during the third quarter of 2005. We previously reported material weaknesses in our 2004 Annual
Report on Form 10-K and on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2005. In this amended 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, we will differentiate our progress made to remediate the material weaknesses previously reported and the most recent
material weakness discovered during the third quarter of 2005.



61



---

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.



A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing
Standard No. 2) is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.



Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, and this assessment identified five material weaknesses in the Companys internal control over financial reporting. The Companys assessment identified a material weakness relating to cycle
counting of physical inventory in its US manufacturing plant. The key internal controls over financial reporting related to cycle counting is to periodically confirm the quantities that are recorded in the inventory perpetual records since 1) the
perpetual records are the source for recording inventory values in the Companys general ledger and then correspondingly in the financial statements, and 2) if the process and counts are accurate, the cycle counting process replaces the
necessity to physically count the inventory at period end. Accordingly the Company undertook alternative procedures in physical counts of a substantial portion of the inventories subsequent to December 31, 2004 and a rollback reconciliation to
establish validation of the balance of inventories on its financial statements at December 31, 2004.



The Companys assessment also identified a material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial reporting relating to the lack of
segregation of duties in one of the Companys foreign locations. The key controls over financial reporting related to segregation of duties is to provide for approval procedures and accounting controls to prevent the opportunity for theft or
falsification of records. Upon detection, the Company has instituted alternative processes to provide for adequate segregation of duties in this location.



The Companys assessment also identified a material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial reporting
relating to accounting for deferred tax assets and cash flow statement in preparation for the annual audit. The key controls in these areas involve maintaining the knowledge base, technical capabilities and continuing education of accounting staff
to learn and integrate training for increasingly complex accounting rules. In addition, another key control is the need to maintain adequate level of staff time to manage and complete increasing workloads, with peaks such as the annual audit and
quarterly regulatory filings. The Company has relied somewhat historically upon professionals such as public accountants and attorneys to help keep the Companys accounting staff current in accounting pronouncements and standards. The evidence
of this weakness exposes the Companys need to create a more direct continuing education program for its accounting and financial staff, and the corresponding allocation of financial and time resources to support this effort over the long term.



The Companys assessment also identified a material weakness in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting relating to the corporate governance in the area of the quality of board resolution development, documentation of board deliberations, accurate drafting and eventual approval of board meeting
minutes by the directors. The key controls over financial reporting related to board decisions that are evidenced by resolutions in minutes is the quality and consistency of the process used by executives and experts (primarily legal and accounting)
in insuring that the legality and resulting financial consequences are assessed well in advance



62



---

as a key part for satisfaction of director diligence. Several instances during 2004 evidenced a lack of due diligence that required significant time, deliberations on
accounting treatment and correction of previously approved minutes. The Company has assessed additional processes within the Audit Committee of the Board for its consideration.



During the third quarter of 2005, the Companys assessment identified a material weakness in the Companys internal
control over financial reporting relating to the correction of errors attributed to fiscal 2004 consolidated financial statements. This material weakness relates to 1) the incomplete analysis of our goodwill accounts, investments in affiliates and
minority interest liability accounts and 2) the misapplication of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the accounting for minority interest expense. The Company failed to complete and review adequately accounts that were
critical to the recognition of $2.8 million of impairment loss of goodwill that the Company intended to record in the fourth quarter of 2004. Instead, the Company recorded approximately $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 and determined in
the third quarter of 2005 that an additional $1.5 million was not recorded. The misapplication of GAAP occurred in 2004 in which the Company did not cease recording an entry that classified a share of the losses of our Mexican subsidiary
attributable to the 10% minority interest holder upon determination that previously recorded minority interest losses exceeded the minority interest holders share of the equity capital of the subsidiary. The Company has made remedial efforts
in the account reconciliation area by 1) thoroughly documenting all account balances and accounting activity that are recorded into the above identified accounts; 2) implementing push-down accounting, as appropriate, for all prior and
current acquisitions to simplify the accounting processes and improve transparency and 3) establishing improved supervision over the timeliness, quality and completeness of account reconciliations. With respect to the misapplication of GAAP
weakness, the Company has determined that improved training of the accounting staff responsible for the application of GAAP and preparation of financial statements will provide the most cost-effective strategy to ensure that accounting standards are
applied consistently. Specific training measures are being considered but have not yet been scheduled or occurred.



In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Because of the material weakness described above, managements conclusion is that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004.



The Companys independent registered public
accounting firm, BDO Seidman, LLP, has issued an attestation report on managements assessment of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. That report appears below.



2) Remediation Steps to Address the Material Weaknesses



As noted above in the description of the five reported material weaknesses in
internal controls over financial reporting, for the most part 1) the Company has taken immediate corrective action to ensure adequate inventory cycle counting processes through review of procedures, training and re-implementation of correct
procedures by operations management; 2) the Company has taken corrective action to ensure that the general ledger accounts are reviewed by management for completeness, accuracy and timeliness and that related elimination entries are analyzed
thoroughly; 3) the Company has also taken corrective action to ensure adequate segregation of duties in one of its foreign locations by instituting review procedures, and is developing an internal audit testing process to further mitigate this
situation; 4) the Company is identifying training resources for its accounting staff to better insure current



63



---

accounting standards to preparation of financial statements and the associated analysis; and 5) the Company has considered additional review processes at the board
level to help satisfy adequate controls to offset this material weakness.



3) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting



Subsequent to the discovery of the material weakness, there have been changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting, as noted by the remediation steps outlined above.



4) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures



The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined
under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) or Exchange Act Rule 15d-15(e) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.



The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including
the Companys Chief Executive Officer and the Companys Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on this evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to the
material weaknesses identified and discussed above, and in Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



The Board of Directors and Stockholders

IMPCO Technologies, Inc.



We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that
IMPCO Technologies, Inc. (the Company) did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, because of the effect of material weaknesses relating to cycle counting procedures, application of
generally accepted accounting principles regarding deferred taxes and statement of cash flows, segregation of duties in one of the Companys foreign locations and corporate governance in relation to board minutes, based on criteria established
in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). IMPCO Technologies Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.



We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.



A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.



Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.



A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in managements assessment:



| | 1. | In-effective controls over cycle counting of inventory, which resulted in a credit adjustment to the Companys inventory for the year ended December 31, 2004.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



65



---

| | 2. | Inadequate application of generally accepted accounting principles in relation to valuation of deferred tax assets and preparation of statement of cash flows, resulting in an adjustment to
the Companys financial statement at December 31, 2004.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | Lack of segregation of duties in the Companys Australian location involving certain key controls within financial reporting.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 4. | Lack of due diligence in drafting and approving board minutes and failure to understand accounting consequences of board resolutions.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 5. | Ineffective controls over the analysis and adjustment of goodwill, investment in affiliates, and minority interest accounts, and the misapplication of generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) in the accounting for minority interest expense. The lack of such controls was a contributing factor in the restatement of financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests
applied in our audit of the 2004 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 31, 2005, on those consolidated financial statements.



In our opinion, managements assessment that IMPCO Technologies, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Also in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described above, on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, IMPCO Technologies, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).



We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on managements
statements referring to the corrective actions taken by the Company after the date of managements assessment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



The Board of Directors and Stockholders

IMPCO Technologies Inc.



We have audited the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet of IMPCO Technologies, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.



We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of IMPCO Technologies, Inc. at December 31, 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.



As discussed in Note 1(b), the financial statements have been restated as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 to reflect additional goodwill impairment and
elimination of minority interest in a foreign subsidiary.



We have also
audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of IMPCO Technologies, Inc. internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 31, 2005, except for material weakness #5, as to which the date is October 28, 2005,
expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth herein for the year ended April 30, 2002, the eight months ended December 31, 2002, and the year ended December 31, 2003.

1(a) Basis of presentation and description of the
businessThe consolidated financial statements of IMPCO Technologies, Inc. (IMPCO or the Company) include the accounts of the Company and its 51% owned subsidiary IMPCO-BERU Technologies B.V. (IMPCO BV);
its wholly owned subsidiaries IMPCO Technologies, Pty. Limited (IMPCO Pty), IMPCO Tech Japan K.K. (IMPCO Japan) and Grupo I.M.P.C.O. Mexicano, S. de R.L. de C.V. (IMPCO Mexicano); and its joint ventures Minda IMPCO
Technologies Limited. On December 31, 2004, the Company combined its joint venture interests in Minda IMPCO Limited and Minda IMPCO Technologies Limited, which resulted in a 50% interest in Minda IMPCO Limited (MIL). The Company no
longer consolidates Minda IMPCO Technologies Limited and uses the equity method to report the results of MIL. On December 31, 2004, the Company established a 50% joint venture in Mexico, IMPCO-BRC Mexicano, and uses the equity method to recognize
the results of this entity in the Companys financial statements. On December 31, 2004, the Company completed the reorganization of its interests in India such that the Companys joint venture interests in India were reduced to 50% from
60%. On December 31, 2004, the Company also established a 50% ownership in a joint venture, IMPCO-BRC Mexicano, which became the Companys primary operating entity in Mexico. The Company believes that it has significant influence but not
effective control over these two entities because (1) in each case, the Company does not have the power to elect a majority of the combined entitys directors (2) the operational and day-to-day control of the combined entity is controlled by
the Companys partner in each of the joint ventures and (3) budgets and plans for each of the entities are developed by the partner. In 2003, the Company acquired a 50% equity interest in B.R.C. Societá a Responsabilitá Limitata
(BRC). The Company uses the equity method to recognize the assets and liabilities of BRC in the Companys consolidated results. On March 10, 2005, the Companys shareholders approved the acquisition of the remaining 50% of BRC.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



On July 23, 2002, the Company completed the distribution and spin-off of Quantum Technologies Worldwide, Inc. (Quantum), a wholly owned subsidiary, by distributing one share of Quantum common stock for every share
of IMPCO common stock held on the record date, July 5, 2002. As a result of the spin-off, the Company no longer holds any continuing interest in Quantum and has reported Quantum as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements
for all periods presented.



On November 14, 2002, the Company changed its
fiscal calendar from April 30 to December 31. The consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes include the transition period for the eight months ended December 31, 2002.



The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Companys assets and the settlement of its liabilities in the normal course of conducting business. The Company uses cash generated from operations, bank
financings and sales of equity securities to fund capital expenditures and research and development, as well as to invest in and operate existing operations and new businesses. In December 2004, the Company used proceeds from a $22.0 million loan
from MTM, S.r.l., a wholly owned subsidiary of BRC to repay a senior subordinated secured promissory note in the amount of $20.0 million from Bison. The Company is in the process of evaluating cost reduction programs as we integrate acquisition of
the remaining 50% of BRC which was completed and closed on March 31, 2005.

1(b) Restatement of Audited Financial Statements for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004The audited financials of IMPCO Technologies, Inc. for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 have been restated to reflect certain amounts on its financial statements identified by the Company as errors during the third quarter of 2005. The Company determined that on the consolidated balance sheet as
of December 31, 2004 goodwill, investment in affiliates, minority interest liability and accumulated deficit were incorrectly stated and are amended therein. Consequently, on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, total
assets, total stockholders equity and total liabilities and stockholders equity are restated. On the consolidated statements of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004, the Company determined that
impairment loss of goodwill and minority interest in income of consolidated subsidiary were incorrectly stated and are amended therein. Consequently, on the consolidated statements of operations for the fourth quarter and the full year 2004, total
costs and expenses, operating income, loss from continuing operations before income taxes and equity share in income of unconsolidated affiliates, loss from continuing operations before minority interest, minority interest in income of consolidated
subsidiaries, net loss, and basic and diluted loss per share are restated.

Notes to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Three Months and Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004.



|-a | Goodwill impairment loss for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004 reported on the previously reported statement of operations was understated by
approximately $1.5 million due to inadequate account reconciliation and review by management. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.3 million related to its Mexican and Japanese
operations and

| | failed to record an impairment charge against other amounts also related to the Mexican and Japanese operations that the Company later determined were, in fact,
goodwill. It was the Companys intent to fully impair all goodwill related to these operations during the fourth quarter of 2004 and, accordingly, the Company believes that it is appropriate to restate the statements of operations for the three
and twelve months ended December 31, 2004 to reflect the additional goodwill impairment.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|-b | The Company determined that approximately $0.1 million of minority interest in losses related to its Mexican operation on the statement of operations for the three and twelve months
ended December 31, 2004 was incorrectly recorded due to the incorrect application of an accounting standard that provides for the majority owner in a subsidiary to absorb all losses in the event that the losses applicable to the minority holder
exceed the minority holders share of the subsidiarys equity capital.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|-c | The restated net losses for the three months and fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 of approximately $17.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively, represent an increase of
approximately $1.6 million in additional losses as compared to the previously reported losses for the same periods. Loss per share of common stock increased $0.08 per share from a loss of $0.88 per share to $0.96 per share for the three months ended
December 31, 2004 and the loss increased from $0.77 to $0.85 per share, or $0.08, for the full year ended December 31, 2004

Notes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004.



|-a | The carrying value of goodwill and investment in affiliates were overstated on the previously reported consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 by approximately $0.9 million and
$0.6 million, respectively. The impairment analysis performed in the fourth quarter of 2004 on the Companys Mexican and Japanese operations indicated that the total goodwill allocated to these reporting units should be impaired during the
fourth quarter of 2004. The Company determined during the third quarter of 2005 that it had not properly aggregated and recorded the correct goodwill amounts with respect to these operations as an impairment loss of goodwill during the fourth
quarter of 2004. The restated balances at December 31, 2004 do not include any goodwill in relation to these operations.
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|-b | The carrying value of minority interest on the previously reported consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 was understated by approximately $0.1 million due to the Companys
failure to recognize as part of the earnings or losses in its consolidated financial statements as the majority interest in its Mexican operation, losses related to the 10% minority interest holder, that had exceeded the minority interest
holders capital. The Company did not correctly apply an accounting standard that provides for the majority owner in a subsidiary to absorb all losses in the event that the losses applicable to the minority holder exceed the minority
holders share of the subsidiarys equity capital.

Note to the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders Equity As of December 31, 2004.



|-a | Stockholders equity decreased by approximately $1.6 million on the consolidated statement of stockholders equity as a result of the correction of errors that increase net loss by
the same amount. Similarly, comprehensive loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 increased by approximately $1.6 million.

The Company classifies its business into two business segments: U.S. Operations and International Operations. The Company also classifies general and administrative
expenses that are not allocable to a business segment as a corporate expense. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company erroneously recorded the impairment loss of goodwill of $330,000 related to Mexico and Japan as a corporate expense, whereas the
more correct classification should have been a charge against international operations. The following table sets forth the restated business segment analysis that is integral to the MD&A and certain note disclosures to the consolidated financial
statements.

Notes to the Business Segment
Disclosure for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004



|-a | The loss impairment of goodwill of approximately $1.5 million that was not recorded, in error, during the fourth quarter of 2004 is reflected as a charge against the international operations
business segment for the same period on the business segment analysis.
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|-b | The loss impairment of goodwill that was correctly recorded in the fourth quarter of 2004 in the amount of approximately $0.3 million was incorrectly charged against corporate expenses and is
restated as a charge against international operations on the business segment analysis for the year ended December 31, 2004. These amounts were in relation to Mexico and Japan operations.
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



1(c) Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid
investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.



1(d) Restricted CashThe Company classifies cash and cash equivalents that are restricted from operating use for the next twelve months as restricted cash. Amounts restricted for longer than twelve months are
classified as other assets. When the restrictions are no longer in-place, the amounts are reclassified to cash and cash equivalents.



1(e) InventoriesInventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method while market
value is determined by replacement cost for raw materials and parts and net realizable value for work-in-process and finished goods.



1(f) Equipment and leasehold improvementsEquipment and leasehold improvements are stated on the basis of historical cost. Depreciation of equipment is
provided using the straight- line method over the assets estimated useful lives, ranging from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the assets
estimated useful lives or the lease terms. Design and development costs incurred in conjunction with the procurement of dies, molds, and patterns are immaterial. Depreciation of equipment acquired under a capital lease is provided using the straight
line method over the useful life of the equipment.



1(g) Intangibles
arising from acquisitionsIntangibles arising from acquisitions, primarily goodwill, are recorded based on the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



amounts assigned to tangible assets and liabilities. Goodwill arises from acquisitions are subject to an annual evaluation in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets,for the purpose of determining any impairment and would be recognized as a goodwill impairment loss.



In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under these rules, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statement. Other
identifiable intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company regularly reviews business conditions and other relevant factors in the determination whether an impairment condition exists. The Company utilizes a
discounted cash flow to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. A possible impairment condition exists if the fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. If, as of the date of the
financial statements, the result of the comparison of fair value to the carrying value for each reporting unit is such that the fair value exceeds the carrying value for any reporting unit, then there is no impairment of goodwill associated with the
reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value for any of the reporting units, then additional steps are required to determine the impairment of the goodwill associated with that reporting unit. This impairment determination is made on
the basis of fair values of the net assets making up the reporting unit and compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is
recognized for the excess.



The Company has applied the rules on
accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of the transition period ended December 31, 2002. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, the Company completed the impairment tests as required upon the
adoption of SFAS No. 142 and recognized an impairment loss for goodwill of approximately $2.8 million in its consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2004. On the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004,
the carrying value of goodwill is approximately $8.0 million.



1(h)
Warranty costsEstimated future warranty obligations related to certain products are provided by charges to operations in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. Estimates are based, in part, on historical experience.



1(i) Research and development costsResearch and development
costs are charged to expense as incurred. Equipment used in research and development with alternative future uses is capitalized.



1(j) Revenue recognitionRevenue is recognized when title is transferred, ordinarily when products are shipped, and when management is reasonably
assured of collectibility. Also, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 00-10, the Company includes the costs of shipping and handling, when incurred, in cost of goods sold.



1(k) Allowance for doubtful accountsThe Company maintains provisions for
uncollectible accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to remit payments. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based
upon its historical experience and any

specific customer collection issues that have been identified. Service revenues are recognized in the period in which the services are rendered.



1(l) Minority interests in subsidiariesThe balance sheet amounts in
minority interest at December 31, 2004 represent 49% of the equity held by the single minority stockholder in IMPCO BV and a 49% of the equity held by a single minority stockholder in IMPCO Fuel Systems, an Australian company. Minority interest
represents the minority stockholders proportionate share of equity in those subsidiaries.



1(m) Net income per shareBasic income per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average shares of common
stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, and if dilutive, all common stock equivalents. In addition to net income (loss) per share, basic
and diluted earnings per share are also presented for income (loss) from continuing operations and income (loss) from discontinued operation as appropriate.



1(n) Income taxesWe use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Significant management judgment is required in determining the
provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, we are required to estimate the income taxes in each of the
jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating the actual current tax liability together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, property, plant and equipment
and losses for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets, which include tax loss carry-forwards, and liabilities, which are included within the consolidated balance sheet. We then assess the likelihood that
deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not likely or there is insufficient operating history, a valuation allowance is established. To the extent a valuation allowance is established or
increased in a period, we include an expense within the tax provision of the consolidated statement of operations.



1(o) Stock based compensationIn October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123 Accounting For Stock Based
Compensation, which established accounting and reporting standards for stock based employee compensation plans effective after fiscal year 1996. SFAS No. 123 encourages entities to adopt the fair value based method of accounting; however, it
also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost using the intrinsic value based method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board No. 25. Entities electing to remain on the intrinsic value based method must make certain pro
forma disclosures as if the new fair value method had been applied. At this time, the Company has not adopted the recognition provision of SFAS No. 123, as amended, but has provided pro forma disclosures.



In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting For Stock Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure.SFAS No. 148 amended SFAS No. 123 to provide new guidance concerning the transition when a company changes from the
intrinsic-value method to the fair-value method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation cost. As amended by SFAS No. 148, SFAS No. 123 also requires additional disclosure regarding such cost in annual

financial statements and in condensed interim financial statements. Certain disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 were adopted by the Company in its financial
statements prepared as of December 31, 2004.



SFAS No. 123, as amended by
SFAS No. 148, requires pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share to be disclosed for new options granted after fiscal year 1996. The fair value of these options was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options vesting period for pro forma disclosures. The per share pro forma for the effects of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS 148, is not indicative of the effects on reported net
income/loss for future years. The Companys reported and pro forma information for the periods April 30, 2002, the eight-month period ending December 31, 2002 and the fiscal years ending December 31, 2003 and 2004 are as

The Financial Accounting
Standards Board has also issued Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation. The Interpretation addresses implementation practice issues in accounting for compensation costs under existing

rules prescribed by Accounting Principles Board No. 25. The rules are applied prospectively to all new awards, modifications to outstanding awards and changes in
grantee status after July 1, 2000, with certain exceptions. The Company considers the impact of these rules when adopting new stock option plans and when granting any options.



1(p) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed ofImpairment losses are recorded on
long-lived assets used in operations when an indicator of impairment (significant decrease in market value of an asset, significant change in extent or manner in which the asset is used or significant physical change to the asset) is present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount. The Company has not experienced any significant changes in the business climate or in the use of assets that would require the Company
to write down the value of the assets recorded in the balance sheet.



In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting
provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations For a Disposal of a Segment of a Business. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. We
adopted SFAS No. 144 as of May 1, 2002, which did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations, except that the Quantum operations is presented as a discontinued operation.



1(q) Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as
of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



1(r) ReclassificationsCertain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentations.



1(s) Foreign currency translationAssets and liabilities of the
Companys foreign subsidiaries are generally translated at current exchange rates, and related revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a
foreign currency component of other comprehensive income in stockholders equity. The results and financial condition of the Companys international operations are affected by changes in exchange rates between certain foreign currencies
and the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency for all of the Companys international subsidiaries is the local currency of the subsidiary. An increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar increases costs incurred by the subsidiaries because most of
its international subsidiaries inventory purchases are U.S. Dollar denominated. The Company seeks to manage its foreign currency economic risk by minimizing its U.S. Dollar investment in foreign operations using foreign currency term loans and
lines of credit to finance the operations of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company generally recognizes foreign exchange gains and losses on the statement of operations for intercompany

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



balances that are denominated in currencies other than the reporting currency. In the event that the Company determines that intercompany balances originated by the
Company with a subsidiary will not be settled in the foreseeable future, transaction gains and losses are deferred as part of cumulative translation adjustment on the balance sheet.



Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency, except those transactions that operate as a hedge of an identifiable foreign currency commitment, are included in the results of operations as incurred.



1(t) Financial instrumentsAt December 31, 2003, the Companys financial instruments recorded on the balance
sheet include cash equivalents, short-term bank debt, and restricted cash. At December 31, 2004, the fair value of the Companys long-term debt approximated carrying value.



The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap agreements. When the Company enters
into foreign currency forward contracts, it does so to hedge identifiable foreign currency commitments. Foreign currency contracts reduce the Companys exposure to unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar. Realized
gains and losses on these contracts are included in the measurement of the related foreign currency transaction. The Company, from time to time, uses interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk on its floating rate debt portfolio.
Each interest rate swap is matched as a hedge against a specific debt instrument and has the same notional amount and tenor as the related debt instrument principle. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had no derivative financial instruments.



The Financial Accounting Standards board has issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138 Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging ActivitiesAn Amendment of SFASB No. 133, which require the
Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair market value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes
in fair value of the derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in
earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivatives change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.



1(u) Comprehensive Income LossThe Company presents comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Equity in
accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income (loss) includes, in addition to net income (loss), charges in equity that are excluded from the consolidated statements of operations and are recorded directly
into a separate section of stockholders equity on the consolidated balance sheet.



1(v)Deferred Financing CostsCosts related to obtaining external debt are capitalized and amortized over the term of the debt using the straight-line method. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2003 and 2004
was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. When a loan is paid in full, the unamortized financing costs are removed from the related accounts and charged to operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements



FASB 123R, (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payment sets accounting requirements for share-based
compensation to employees, including employee-stock-purchase- plans (ESPPs) and provides guidance on accounting for awards to non-employees. This statement will require us to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock
options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees, but expresses no preference for a type of valuation model. For public entities, this statement is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt
this statement in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and we are evaluating this pronouncements effect on our financial position and net income.



FASB 151, Inventory Costs eliminates the so abnormal criterion in ARB 43 Inventory Pricing. This statement no longer permits a
company to capitalize inventory costs on their balance sheets when the production defect rate varies significantly from the expected rate. The statement reduces the differences between U.S. and international accounting standards. This statement is
effective for inventory cost incurred during annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt this statement in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. We do not believe that this pronouncement will have a material effect on our financial
position and net income.



In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position No. FAS109-1 (FSP FAS 109-1), Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, for the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. FSP FAS 109-1
clarifies that the deduction will be treated as a special deduction as described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As such, the special deduction has no effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities existing at the date of enactment. The impact of the deduction will be reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed.



In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 109-2, Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision Within the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) (FSP FAS 109-2) to allow additional time beyond the financial reporting period of enactment to evaluate the effect of the Act on IMPCOs plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign
earnings for purposes of calculating the income tax provision. We are currently assessing the financial impact of FSP FAS 109-2 on our consolidated financial statements.



In December 2004, the FASB issued the Statement of Financial Account Standards No. 153, Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets, An
Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (SFAS No. 153). SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets
in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial
substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 shall be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15,
2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The provisions of this Statement shall be applied prospectively.

B.R.C. Societá a Responsibilitá Limitata.    On October 25, 2004, the Company announced that it reached an agreement with
the founders of BRC where the Company would complete the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the equity interests of BRC. The terms of the transaction included a cash payment of $10.0 million and the issuance of 5,098,284 shares of IMPCO common
stock to the founders of BRC. The completion of the transaction was also contingent on the Company to complete an equity offering sufficient to raise at least $15.0 million in cash, to repay the $20.0 million senior subordinated secured promissory
notes issued to Bison Capital Structured Equity Partners, LLC (Bison) in July 2003 and to secure the approval of the Companys shareholders to proceed with the transaction. On December 30, 2004, the Company repaid the Bison note for
$22.0 million (see Note 3); on February 11, 2005, the Company completed its equity public offering by issuing a total of 4,600,000 shares of its common stock to investors and realized approximately $24.9 million before transaction fees of
approximately $1.0 million and on March 10, 2005, the Companys shareholders approved the transaction. The transaction closed March 31, 2005. The Company determined a weighted average stock price of $5.74 for the purpose of determining a value
for the remaining 50% acquisition of BRC in the amount of approximately $39.3 million. The basis for the determination of the weighted average stock price of $5.74 was the daily closing price of the Companys common stock on the three days
prior to and following the acquisition announcement date of October 22, 2004. The Company considered the following factors during the course of negotiations to purchase the remaining 50% of BRC: (1) receipt of an independent report of the fairness
of price to be paid for the remaining 50% of BRC and (2) the Companys belief that the acquisition of BRC, a world-class provider of alternative fuels products into the transportation market segment, would position IMPCO in the transportation
market segment as a market leader.



On July 22, 2003, the Company
acquired the initial 50% of BRC for approximately $23.8 million, which consisted of 2,309,470 shares of common stock valued at $10.0 million and $13.8 million in cash.

(b) Senior Subordinated Secured Promissory NoteBison Capital Structured Equity Partners, LLC



On July 18, 2003 the Company entered into an agreement with
Bison Capital Structured Equity Partners, LLC to sell to Bison a senior subordinated secured promissory note (Bison Note) in the amount of $20.0 million bearing interest at a rate of 11.25%. Interest payments are due monthly over the
term of the note and the principal amount of the note is due in full on July 18, 2007. The proceeds of the note were approximately $17.3 million and resulted in a loan discount of approximately $2.7 million, which was accreted to interest expense
over the term of the note. On December 30, 2004, the Company prepaid the Bison note in the amount of $22.0 million, which included a principal amount of $20.0 million, a prepayment penalty of $1.0 million and accrued interest $1.0 million, with the
$22.0 million proceeds from a five year term loan the Company arranged with MTM, S.r.l., a wholly owned subsidiary of BRC. The effective interest rate on the Bison loan at the time of repayment was 18.75%. The Company recognized a loss on
extinguishment of debt in the fourth quarter of 2004 in the amount of $6.8 million to reflect the write-off of deferred interest costs in connection with the Bison note in the amount of approximately $5.8 million including the unamortized portion of
Bison and Bathgate warrants in the amounts of approximately $1.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, the remaining unamortized loan discount costs in the amount of $2.0 million, unamortized original debt issuance costs in the amount of
approximately $1.6 million and the $1.0 million prepayment penalty.



In conjunction with the promissory note agreement the Company issued warrants to Bison to purchase 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock at a price of $2.00. In September 2003, Bison exercised the warrants and acquired 500,000
shares of common stock. Bathgate Partners were issued 120,000 warrants, fully vested, to acquire 200,000 shares of common stock at a price of $7.40, 120% over the closing price of the Companys on April 1, 2005. As of December 31, 2004, these
warrants were unexercised.



(c) Term LoanMTM S.r.l.



On December 23, 2004 the Company entered a loan agreement with
MTM pursuant to which we borrowed $22.0 million. The loan proceeds were used to retire all debts and related obligations we had incurred pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 18, 2003 with Bison. The MTM loan carries an interest
rate equal to 3-month EURIBOR plus 1.5% per annum, which totaled approximately 3.7% as of December 31, 2004. The MTM loan matures on December 31, 2009 and will be repaid in quarterly installments beginning March 31, 2005, each payment in the amount
of not less than $0.65 million in the first two years, $0.8 million in the third year, $1.0 million in the fourth year and $1.15 million in the final year, with a $5.0 million balloon payment of the remaining
unpaid principal and interest due on December 31, 2009. This loan may be accelerated in the event that any payment is not made within 15 days of the date when due, if the employment of Mariano Costamagna, The Companys Chief Executive Officer
as of January 1, 2005, is terminated for any reason (with certain exceptions for termination upon Mr. Costamagnas death), if we materially breach his employment agreement or upon written notice of any other default under the agreement. Also,
Mariano Costamagna and Pier Antonio Costamagna have guaranteed the MTM loan. In return for Messrs. Costamagnas guarantee, we have pledged our equity interest in BRC as collateral in the event the guaranteed is utilized. The MTM loan agreement
contains restrictive covenants limiting our ability to: (a) incur additional indebtedness other than unsecured trade credit,

capital leases and additional indebtedness pursuant to the senior credit facility with LaSalle; (b) merge, consolidate or sell our assets; (c) purchase, retire or
redeem our capital stock; and (d) make capital expenditures in excess of $2.5 million in any fiscal year. The shares of BRC are also pledged as security for the MTM loan. The loan also contains a cross default provision linked with the LaSalle
Business Credit working capital loan. Using proceeds from the MTM loan, the Company repaid the Bison loan on December 30, 2004 in the amount of $20.0 million plus a prepayment penalty of $1.0 million and accrued interest of $1.0 million. At December
31, 2004, $2.6 million was classified on the consolidated balance sheet as part of the current portion of long-term debt and $19.4 million was classified as long-term debt.



(d) Revolving Promissory NoteLaSalle Business Credit, LLC



On July 18, 2003 the Company entered into a revolving promissory note with LaSalle Business Credit, LLC for a maximum amount of $12.0
million bearing interest at a rate of prime plus 1%. The note is payable in full on July 18, 2006. The Companys availability under this facility is determined by a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances as defined by
the asset-based lending agreement. Under the term of the loan agreement, the Company shall not declare or pay dividend or other distribution whether in cash or in kind. As of December 31, 2003, $7.7 million was outstanding under the line of credit
at an interest rate of 6.25% and approximately $1.2 million was unused and available under the line. On March 29, 2005, the Company and LaSalle executed the Third Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement, which amended the loan agreement (1) to
extend the loan agreement by one year to July 18, 2007 (2) both parties mutually agreed to reduce the borrowing limit from $12.0 million to $9.0 million (3) revise the loan covenants to remove those covenants that were dependent on consolidated
earnings before interest and taxes adjusted for depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) (4) commencing for the first quarter of 2005 a new loan covenant that is based on quarterly minimum pre-tax income defined as income before minority
interest, share in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates and income taxes for 2005 and trailing 4 quarter minimum values for 2006 and 2007 (5) the continuation of the covenant based on minimum quarterly amounts for tangible net worth with
revised values that include December 31, 2004 and (6) increased the maximum allowable annual consolidated fixed assets capital expenditure amount from $2.2 million to $5.0 million. As of December 31, 2004 the Company was not in compliance with
the EBITDA, fixed charge ratio and leverage ratio covenants, which the third amendment reserved or set aside. Consequently, we are currently in compliance with LaSalle covenants, as amended.



(e) Credit facilityFortis Bank



IMPCO BV has secured a $3.1 million revocable credit facility with Fortis Bank in
the Netherlands. The interest rate is determined on a weekly basis using a weighted average of several money market indices. IMPCO BVs borrowings under this facility may not exceed the combined total of 70% of the book value of its eligible
accounts receivable and 50% of the book value of its inventory (or the current market value when lower) with a maximum of $1.4 million. At December 31, 2004, the interest rate was 4.0% with no outstanding balance.



(f) The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ltd.

a restricted account with National Australian Bank Limited, which issued a stand-by letter of credit to HSBC as collateral for the line of credit. At December 31, 2003, the outstanding loan balance was approximately $0.6 million bearing interest at
a rate of 1.685%. In April 2004, the amount outstanding of $0.6 million was fully paid and the restricted cash became unrestricted.



(g) Notes payable



During April and May of 2003, the Company entered into agreements with investors to provide approximately $3.1 million in bridge loans, of which $1.4 million was
from an entity related to one of the Companys directors. The bridge loans bore interest at a rate of 12% and matured in October 2003. In conjunction with the bridge loan agreements the Company issued warrants to the investors to purchase
305,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $2.46, or 120% of market price. During July 2003, approximately $1.0 million of the loans was repaid, and the remaining loans and accrued interest in the amount of $2.2 million and $0.1 million,
respectively, were repaid in full in December 2003.



In the fourth
quarter of 2003, the Companys majority owned subsidiary, Minda IMPCO Ltd., of India entered into several loan agreements and obtained a total of $134,000 in loans with an average interest rate of 14.5% and two year maturities.

Loans from a Director



On March 31, 2003, a Company director extended to the Company a loan commitment of $8.0 million expiring May 31, 2003. The loan was subsequently reduced to $1.5
million and extended to January 31, 2004. In connection with the loan commitment, the Company granted to the director 200,000 warrants, fully vested, at a price of $2.51, which expire in four years. The Company cancelled the loan commitment in July
2003.



On June 30, 2003, the 10% minority holder of IMPCO Mexicano
exercised his put option for $0.5 million. The Company entered into an agreement whereby the same Company director agreed to purchase the 10% interest for $0.5 million and would allow the Company to re-purchase the 10% interest at cost. In December
2003, the Company repaid the director $0.5 million, plus accrued interest of $49,998, for his 10% interest and the Company owns 100% of IMPCO Mexicano.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



A tax expense of approximately $2.3 million was recognized during 2004 as compared to a $0.7 million tax
expense during 2003. The 2004 tax expense consists primarily of the increase in the valuation allowance for deferred taxes assets in the amount of $9.1 million offset by $4.8 million increase in deferred tax assets primarily attributed to increases
in net loss carryforwards for state and federal taxes and a decrease of $2.9 million in deferred tax liabilities. The increase in the valuation allowance for 2004 in the amount of approximately $9.1 million is attributable to the Companys
assessment that more likely than not that the balance in deferred taxes will not be recovered within a three year period. Consequently, the net deferred tax assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 were adjusted to
approximately $8.4 million reflecting the maximum amount that can be recovered over a three-year period.



Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sec. 382 and 383, certain changes in ownership structure (common stock issuances in the case of IMPCO) may partially or fully
limit future use of net operating losses and tax credits available to offset future taxable income and future tax liabilities, respectively.



In December 2002, the Company recognized a $24.0 million valuation allowance based on the weight of available evidence that it was more likely than not that this
portion of the net deferred tax assets would not be realizable within the following three years. The valuation allowance was increased in 2003 and 2004 by approximately $2.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively.



A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the federal statutory income tax rate to
income taxes reported in the consolidated statements of operations is as follows:

allowance of approximately $9.1 million is partially attributable to the increase in deferred tax assets, primarily due to the increase of net loss carryforwards. The total valuation allowance of approximately $35.6 million as of December 31, 2004
was recognized based on the weight of available evidence that it is more likely than not that this portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized in the next three years, not withstanding, that some of those assets may have longer lives
under applicable laws. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In the event that
the Company determines that it is more likely than not that it would be unable to realize an additional portion of the net deferred tax asset, an additional adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be charged to income in the
period such determination was made. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company has a federal research and development tax credit carryforward available for federal income tax purposes of approximately $5.1 million that, if not used, expires
between 2011 to 2023. Federal net operating loss carryforwards of $84.5 million expire between 2021 and 2023. California net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $45.0 million expire between 2011 and 2013. The Company also has research and
development credit carryforwards for state income tax purposes of approximately $4.6 million, which do not expire for tax reporting purposes. The Company has unused manufacturers investment credit for California of $1.0 million that will start to
expire in 2008. The Company also has $0.1 million in alternative minimum tax credits that do not expire for tax reporting purposes.



For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, undistributed earnings of the Companys foreign subsidiaries were approximately $0.6 million. Undistributed
earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for United States federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of earnings in the form of dividends

or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both United States income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to
various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred United States income tax liability is not practical because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation. In April 2004, the Companys 51% owned
subsidiary in Holland paid a $2.4 million dividend in which the Company received approximately $1.2 million in cash. Accordingly, the Company recognized a tax expense of approximately $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004.



|5. | Discontinued Operation
|-- | ----------------------



On July 23, 2002, the Company completed the distribution and spin-off of its Quantum subsidiary by distributing one share of Quantum common stock for every share of
IMPCO common stock held on the record date, which was July 5, 2002. The Company assumed approximately $8.6 million outstanding under the line of credit with Bank of America and also made a contribution in cash of $15.0 million to Quantum as part of
the spin-off transaction and was presented in net cash used in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of cash flows for. As a result of the spin-off of Quantum, the Company no longer holds any continuing interest in Quantum.



The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, effective as of May 1, 2002. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, the results of operations of Quantum are presented as discontinued operations in
the Companys consolidated balance sheets.



Operating results of
discontinued operations for the period May 1, 2002 to the date of the Quantum spin-off, July 23, 2002 and for the preceding fiscal year ended April 30, 2002 are as follows (in thousands of dollars):

(a) Leases



The Company has certain non-cancelable operating leases for facilities and equipment, and non-cancelable capital leases for machinery, equipment and motor vehicles.
Future minimum lease commitments under non-cancelable leases at December 31, 2004, net of the sublease, are as follows (in thousands of dollars):

In 2004, the Company subleased a
portion of its warehouse to an unrelated third party. Under the terms of the agreement commencing April 1, 2004 to May 1, 2006, the Company received approximately $0.2 million in sublease payments for the year ending December 31, 2004. The annual
rent to be received has been reflected as a reduction in future minimum lease payments.



Total rental expense under the operating leases for fiscal years ended April 30, 2002, the transition period ended December 31, 2002, and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 were approximately $1.7 million, $1.4
million, $2.0 million and $1.9 million, net of sublease payments of $0.2 million, respectively. These leases are non-cancelable and certain leases have renewal options and escalation clauses.



(b) Contingencies



The Company is subject to certain claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, no pending or
threatened claims, actions, or proceedings against the Company are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial statements.



(c) Investment and Tax Savings Plan



The Companys Investment and Tax Savings Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan, which is qualified under Internal Revenue Service Code
Section 401(k). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. All employees who are at least age twenty-one or older are eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



employment with the Company. Employees of the Company who elect to participate in the Plan may contribute into the Plan not less than 1% nor more than 15% of
compensation. The Companys matching contributions are discretionary and match elective salary deferrals up to 3.0% of compensation. Approximately 77% of eligible employees were enrolled in the 401(k) plan at December 31, 2004. Employer
contributions approximated $632,000, $189,000, $273,000 and $246,000 for fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, the transition period ended December 31, 2002, and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively.



(d) Pension Expense



The Companys 51% owned subsidiary in The Netherlands has a defined benefit
pension plan for employees over 25 years of age and mandatory retirement at age 65. The post-retirement benefit is 70% of the highest annual compensation level earned during employment. The Company purchases and fully funds this benefit with a
state-approved insurance carrier who takes full responsibility for paying post-retirement benefits. For the years ended April 30, 2002, the eight months ended December 31, 2002, and the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, the Company paid
approximately $0.1 million, $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $0.5 million, respectively.



(e) Deferred Compensation Plan



The Company
has a Non-Qualified deferred compensation plan wherein selected key employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation each year. The Plan is administered by a third party Plan administrator. Employee contributions are invested in mutual
funds and consequently are considered to be traded instruments. The Company matches 50% of the employee contribution up to an annual maximum of $12,500. The cash contributed by the Company is invested in Company common stock acquired in the open
market. The value of the investments, mutual funds and common stock, are calculated and recorded as a liability at market value. The Company includes the common stock of the Plan in its computations of basic and diluted net income on net loss per
share. According to EITF 97-14, the Company consolidates the Plan at the end of each quarter. At December 31, 2003, the assets and liabilities under the plan were $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2004, $1.0 million
and $1.3 million, respectively.



|7. | Stockholders Equity
|-- | --------------------



(a) Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement



On June 30, 1999, the Companys Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement and declared a dividend of one right on each
outstanding share of IMPCO common stock. Each right entitles the holder, upon certain events, to purchase, at an exercise price of $45 per share, shares of common stock with a value equal to twice the exercise price. The dividend was paid on July
26, 1999 to stockholders of record on July 12, 1999.



(b) Capital
Transactions



On December 19, 2003 we concluded the issuance and
sale of 1,500,000 shares of common stock to certain institutional investors at $6.40 per share, yielding net proceeds of approximately $8.8 million after discounts and commissions. The offering was conducted as a

private placement under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The proceeds of this offering were used to retire short-term debt and
for working capital. During 2004, additional payment in the amount of approximately $251,000 were incurred related to this transaction, and recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital.



(c) Stock options



The Company has eight stock option plans that provide for the issuance of options to key employees and directors of the Company at the
fair market value at the time of grant. Options under the plans generally vest in four or five years and are generally exercisable while the individual is an employee or a director, or ordinarily within one month following termination of employment.
In no event may options be exercised more than ten years after date of grant. On May 12, 2003, the stockholders of IMPCO approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (Plan), which provides for the issuance of up to 800,000 shares of the
Companys common stock. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Companys board of directors or a committee appointed by the board will determine who will receive shares or options, the number of shares or options granted, the type of
options granted (incentive or non-qualified), the manner of exercise and the exercise price of the options.



In connection with the spin-off of Quantum, all stock options outstanding on the spin-off date were split into one option of IMPCO and one option of Quantum stock.
The exercise price of both the IMPCO and Quantum stock options was adjusted based on the relative market values of both companies on the first trading day following the spin-off. Options exercised prior to the spin-off of Quantum were made at the
exercise price prior to such adjustment. All vesting schedules remain the same and the option holders are not required to exercise their options concurrently.

(d) Warrants



On January 11, 2002, the Company completed a private placement of 2,000,000 shares
of common stock at a price of $11.25 per share for $22.5 million. The Company also issued to the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $13.25 per share. Pursuant to the warrant
agreement, the exercise price was subsequently adjusted to $8.70 per share after the Quantum spin-off in July 2002. Each purchaser was issued a warrant to purchase one-tenth of a share of common stock for each share of common stock purchased under
the agreement. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock to the placement agent in connection with the transaction. The warrants are exercisable at any time until January 11, 2006. These
warrants represented direct costs and incentives related to an equity offering. The Company did not recognize any accounting effect to additional paid in capital as of April 30, 2002, because the value assigned to offering costs paid by issuance of
warrants was offset by the value assigned to warrants issued as offering costs.



In connection with an $8.0 million loan commitment obtained in March 2003 from a Company director that expired on July 31, 2003, the Company granted a warrant, to the director, which vested immediately, to purchase 200,000 shares of IMPCO
stock at a price of $2.51 per share. The warrant expires in four years from the date of grant. The fair value of the warrant was determined to be approximately $0.3 million based on the application of the Black-Scholes model. The following
assumptions were made in estimating the fair value using the Black-Scholes model: expected life of the warrant4.0 years; price volatility87.5%; risk-free interest rate4.0%; and the dividend yield0%. At the time of issuance
the Company accounted for this warrant as an increase of approximately $0.3 million in additional paid in capital and deferred interest costs subject to amortization to expense based of the expected life of the loan, or less than one year. The
amount of expense recognized in the statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 was $0.3 million.



On August 15, 2002, the Company issued a fully vested warrant to acquire 20,000 shares of the Companys common stock to an independent consultant at an
exercise price of $3.30 per share. The warrant will expire on August 15, 2006. The Company recognized an expense of $44,000 in fiscal year 2003 based on the following assumptions under the Black Scholes model: expected life of the warrant4.0
years; price volatility80.0%; risk free interest rate5%; and the dividend yield0%. At December 31, 2004, this warrant remained unexercised.



During April and May of 2003, the Company entered into agreements with investors to provide approximately $3.1 million in bridge loans, of which $1.4 million was
from an entity related to one of the Companys directors. In conjunction with the bridge loan agreements the Company issued warrants to the investors to purchase 305,000 shares of the Companys common stock at $2.46 per share, or 120% of
the then market price. During 2004, 170,000 shares were issued and warrants to issue 135,000 shares remained unexercised at December 31, 2004.



On July 21, 2003, in connection with the issuance of a $20.0 million senior secured subordinated promissory note, the Company issued to Bison fully vested 500,000
warrants to

acquire Company stock, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The Company determined that the fair value of the 500,000 warrants issued was equal to approximately
$2.6 million based on the application of the Black-Scholes model. The following assumptions were made in connection with the Black-Scholes model: expected life of the option5.0 years; price volatility91.3%; risk-free interest
rate2.6% and the dividend yield0%. At the time of issuance, the Company accounted for these warrants as an increase of approximately $2.6 million in additional paid in capital and deferred interest costs subject to amortization to
expense based of the expected life of the loan, or four years. The amount of expense recognized in the statements of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 were $0.3 million, $2.3 million, respectively. In
December 2004, the Bison Note was fully paid and all deferred costs were expensed.



On May 15, 2004, the Company issued a fully vested warrant to purchase 120,000 shares of the Companys stock to Bathgate Partners, LLC, in connection with the Bison Note, at an exercise price of 120% over the then closing
price, or $7.22 per share. The Company determined that the of the warrant issued to be approximately $0.5 million based on the application of the Black-Scholes model. The following assumptions were made in connection with the Black-Scholes model:
expected life of the option5.0 years; price volatility89.1%; risk-free interest rate4.19% and the dividend yield0%. The Company recognized $0.5 million as interest expense in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 in
connection with the prepayment of the Bison Note in December 2004.

Other Transactions



In 2003, the Company recorded equity share in the loss of
investments in joint ventures in Egypt and China in the amount of approximately $93,000 and $47,000, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company wrote-off investments in joint ventures in Egypt and China in the amount of $150,000 and
$64,000, respectively. The changes and reductions to these operations were the result of a business strategy change recognizing that BRC products and existing distributors were capable of addressing the market requirements.



|10. | Revenues
|--- | --------



The Company routinely sells products to a broad base of domestic and international customers, which includes distributors and original equipment manufacturers. Based on the nature of these customers, credit is generally granted
without collateral being required. The Company does not anticipate that a significant credit risk exists as a result of these customer relationships.



For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, the Company had sales to two customers that represented approximately 33% and 10.8%, respectively. For the year ended
December 31, 2003, the eight months ended December 31, 2002, and the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, the Company had one customer with sales representing 10.3%, 14.4% and 7.9% respectively. The Company has no other customer representing more than
10% of total sales.



|11. | Business Segment and Geographic Information
|--- | -------------------------------------------



Business Segments.The Company currently has two reporting segments organized along geographical boundaries: a domestic segment
consisting of U.S. Operations and the rest of the world known as the International segment. Previously, the U.S. Operations segment was called the Gaseous Fuel Products Division. The domestic segment sells products including parts and conversion
systems to OEMs and the aftermarket. The Companys International Operations in Australia, Europe, Japan, India, and Mexico provide distribution for the Companys products, predominantly from its domestic division and some product assembly.



Corporate expenses consist of general and administrative expenses at the
corporate level and include the amortization of identifiable intangibles. Intersegment eliminations are primarily the result of intercompany sales from our domestic division to our International Operations.



All research and development is expensed as incurred.

As required by SFAS No.
142, the fourth quarter has been established for the annual impairment review of goodwill. The annual review was performed in the fourth quarter and resulted in the reduction of the carrying value of goodwill as of December 31, 2004 by approximately
$2.8 million to a carrying value on the balance sheet to approximately $8.0 million. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of goodwill of $2.8 million as a component of operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2004. The impairment
analysis was prepared using a discounted cash flow analysis for each of the Companys reporting units from which the Company determined that an impairment loss was present in the Japanese and Mexican reporting units in the amounts of $1.2
million and $1.6 million, respectively. The political environment and the potential legislation that could result in an excise tax on propane vehicles adversely affected the operating conditions in Mexico. In Japan, the business outlook for IMPCO
was evaluated, which resulted in limited revenue growth opportunities and adversely affected the future cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Management Transition.



Effective January 1, 2005, Mariano Costamagna, the principal executive officer of BRC, became the Companys new Chief Executive
Officer, and on the same date, Mr. Robert M. Stemmler, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, resigned as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Stemmler was a full-time employee consultant until March 17, 2005. Pursuant to his consulting agreement, Mr.
Stemmler was to serve as a consultant through April 30, 2007. A revision to the employee consulting agreement is now being prepared to re-define Mr. Stemmlers consulting role.



Relocation of Research and Development Facility.



On March 14, 2005 management announced its intention to relocate research and development activities to its Cerritos, California
manufacturing facility and close the Seattle, Washington facility. Upon subsequent management review, the Company has revised its plans to include retaining certain research and development activities in the Seattle, Washington facility, reduce the
allocation of space to support these activities and sublease a significant portion of the facility to offset operational costs. Retaining certain research and development activities enables the Company to continue to earn revenue for contracted
services to customers, as well as potentially utilize this location for durability testing for new fuel systems to satisfy the scheduled 2007 EPA requirements. The Company intends to move a limited number of staff to its Cerritos facility, and may
relocate certain equipment from the Seattle facility or purchase equipment to support their research and development activities. These two strategies are an integral part of the board approved transition plan associated with the pending purchase of
BRC and the need to improve management the effectiveness and reduce the costs of the research and development activities at both IMPCO and BRC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004

(In thousands of Euros)



|1. | Basis of Presentation and Description of Business
|-- | -------------------------------------------------



The consolidated financial statements of BRC S.r.l. (BRC or the Company ) include the accounts of the Company, of its wholly owned
subsidiary MTM S.r.l. and of MTMs majority owned subsidiaries BRC Argentina S.A., BRC Brasil S.A. and NG LOG Armazen Gerais Ltda. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The company has a 50% interest in
the joint ventures WMTM and MTE and 13.59% interest in Jehin and uses the equity method for reporting the results of these entities.



Prior to February 2001, MTM was owned directly by Mariano and Piero Costamagna . In February 2001, Mariano and Piero Costamagna incorporated BRC S.r.l. and
contributed their shareholdings in MTM to BRC S.r.l. This contribution has been accounted for as a reorganization under common control under which it is assumed that BRC S.r.l. has been the parent company from January 1, 2001 for all periods
presented. Consequently, the carrying amounts of MTM and its subsidiaries were not adjusted at their transfer dates in accounting for the reorganization and the Companys quota capital has been reported in the consolidated financial statements
as if outstanding since January 1, 2001.



On July 22, 2003, the
shareholders of BRC completed the sale of 50% of the Company to IMPCO technologies Inc., a U.S. Company.



The company is a designer, manufacturer and supplier of fuel technology systems for automobiles that enable traditional internal combustion engines to run on
alternative fuels such as propane and natural gas.



|2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|-- | ------------------------------------------



This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the accompanying financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been consistently applied.



Use of Estimates



The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



Cash and Cash Equivalents



Cash equivalents consist of time deposits and other short-term, highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when acquired and are stated at
cost, which approximates fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Inventories



Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and market. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. Elements of cost in inventories include raw materials,
direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Any write-downs of inventory are recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis.



Inventory Valuation Reserve



Reserves for slow-moving or potentially obsolete inventories are accounted for based upon an analysis of inventory movement, age and saleability.



Allowance for Doubtful Accounts



The Company maintains provisions for uncollectible accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of its customers to remit payments. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon its historical experience and any
specific customer collection issues that have been identified.



Property, Plant and Equipment



Property, plant and
equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:



|                        |  |             
|----------------------- |  | ------------
|Buildings               |  | 33 years    
|Machinery and equipment |  | 10 years    
|Furniture and fittings  |  | 5 to 8 years



Impairment of long-lived
Assets



The Company assesses its long-lived assets (primarily
property, plant and equipment) for impairment whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability is determined by comparing the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from these assets
to their respective net carrying values. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the assets and their estimated fair value.



Investments in affiliates



Investments in affiliates that are not majority owned or controlled but for which the company exercises significant influence are accounted for using the equity
method.



Income Taxes



Income taxes provided by each entity are included in the consolidation in accordance
with the applicable local laws. Deferred income taxes are accounted for under the liability method, in accordance with SFAS No. 109 Accounting for income taxes, and reflect the tax effects of all significant temporary differences between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their

reported amounts in the financial statements and net operating loss carry-forwards. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more
likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized.



Investment tax
credits are accounted for as a reduction in current income taxes in the year in which the credit arises.



Foreign Currency Translation



The Companys reporting currency and functional currency is the Euro. The financial statements of the Companys subsidiaries are measured using the local
currency as the functional currency. With respect to the Brazilian and Argentina subsidiaries, revenues and expenses have been translated into Euros using the average exchange rate for the period and assets and liabilities have been translated using
the period-end exchange rate. With respect to the Argentina subsidiary, at December 31, 2001 through January 10, 2002, there was no exchangeability between the Argentine Peso and foreign currencies. On January 11, 2002 when the exchange market first
opened, the exchange rate was ARP 1.5 to Euro 1. Under US GAAP, when exchangeability between two currencies is temporarily lacking at the balance sheet date, the first subsequent rate at which exchange could be made shall be used as of the balance
sheet date.



The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been
recorded as a separate component of Quotaholders equity. Translation adjustments resulting from changes in exchange rates affecting balance sheet and income statement items amount to (losses)/gains of 64, 26 and 470 for the periods ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 respectively, and are presented in the Other Comprehensive Income.



Realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in
the determination of net income.



Revenue Recognition



Revenues are recognized on product sales when title transfers, which generally
corresponds to the date when products are shipped, and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Provisions for returns and other adjustments related to sales are provided in the same period the related sales are recorded on the basis of historical
rates of return.



Research and Development Expenses



Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred, in the amounts
of 1.5 million, 1.4 million and 1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004.



Warranty Costs



Estimated future warranty obligations related to certain products are provided by charges to operations in the period in which the
related revenue is recognized. Estimates are based, in part, on historical experience.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Government Grants



The Company receives grants from Italian governmental entities to subsidize certain investments in plant and equipment and research and development expenditures.
Grants are recognized when earned and there is no remaining risk of repayment. There is no remaining risk of repayment when the grant conditions are met or when there is no doubt that these conditions will be met in the future. Grants relating to
plant and equipment are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related assets. Grants relating to research and development expenditure are recorded in other revenues.



During 2002, 2003 and 2004 the Company recognized government grants relating to plant and equipment for 133, nil and nil, respectively, and relating to research and development expenditure for 507, 137 and nil respectively.



Statement of Cash Flows



Short-term borrowings arise primarily under the Companys short-term lines of
credit with its banks. These short-term obligations are payable on demand. The cash flows from these items are included under the caption Net change in short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.



Shipping and Handling Costs



Shipping and handling costs on product sales are classified in costs for external
services and amount to 373, 362 and 418 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.



Comprehensive Income Loss



The Company presents comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of
Stockholders Equity in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.Comprehensive income (loss) includes, in addition to net income (loss), charges in equity that are excluded from the consolidated statements of
operations and are recorded directly into a separate section of quotaholders equity on the consolidated balance sheet.

In July 2002, the Company
sold its land and buildings to IMCOS 2 S.r.l., a real estate investment company controlled by the shareholders of BRC, and to a leasing company, which then leased the land and buildings to IMCOS 2 under capital lease arrangements. The portion of
these land and buildings that were previously used by BRC were then leased back to BRC under operating leases arrangements. The remaining portion of the land and buildings were previously leased by BRC to a related company and a third party. As the
sale-and-leaseback was undertaken between companies under common control, the transaction has been accounted for at historical cost and, consequently, the excess of the sale price over the carrying value of the land and buildings of 221 has been credited to additional paid-in capital.



The terms of the rental agreement between BRC and IMCOS 2 S.r.l. require that the Company does not terminate the rental agreement
until eight years have expired.



On December 13th, 2004 a lease contract between MTM and IMCOS 2 S.r.l. for the building in Via Fondovalle 1Cherasco has been signed and it is valid starting from January
1st2005 till December 31st2011 for an amount of 132/year. This building has been rented in order to carry out the installation of OEM
vehicles sent to BRC by car manufacturers and to carry out the potential future activity of CNG conversion for buses.



5. Loans to Quotaholders





On December 23, 2004 the Company loaned Impco Technologies, Inc., an affiliated company, $22.0 million (16.2 million). The loan was for the purpose of retiring certain debts of the affiliate. The loan carries an interest rate equal to the 3-month Euribor plus 1.5%
per annum, which totaled 3.7% as of December 31, 2004. The loan is scheduled to be repaid to MTM in quarterly installments beginning April 1, 2005. The quarterly payments are required to be not less than $650 (477.3) in the first two years, $800 (587.4) in the
third year, $1,000 (734.2) in the fourth year, and $1,150 (844.4) in the final year, with a $5.0 million (3.7 million) balloon payment and any
remaining unpaid principal and interest due on December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2004, $2.6 million (1.9 million) was classified
as a current portion and $19.4 million (14.2) was classified as long term.



|6. | Investments in Affiliates
|-- | -------------------------



In February 2001, the Company acquired a 50% stake in MTE S.r.l. for 25. MTE supplies the Company with electronic components for its fuel systems. The amount at which the investment is carried equals the amount of underlying equity in net assets.

BRC S.R.L.



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



In March 2002, the Company acquired a 18,5% stake in Jehin Engineering Company Ltd, a Korean manufacturer of fuel technology systems for 260. In 2004 the participation has been reduced to 13.59%, or 191. In accordance with the share purchase agreement, BRC was able to appoint a member of the Board Directors. In view of the influence that BRC gained through board membership, the investment has been
accounted for using the equity method. The amount at which the investment is carried equals the amount of underlying equity in net assets.



In October 2001, BRC Brasil Ltda (BRC Brasil) signed a joint venture agreement with White Martin Gases Industriais S.A. (WM), a Brazilian
company and subsidiary of Praxair Inc, by which BRC and WM (the joint venture partners) agreed to establish a joint venture for the development, manufacture and supply of fuel technology systems in the Brazilian market. Pursuant to the
agreement, the joint venture partners agreed to invest jointly up to a maximum of $4 million (2.9 million) in the first three years
of operations. In May 2002, the joint venture partners gave effect to the joint venture agreement and established WMTM Equipamentos de Gases Ltda. (WMTM) owned 50% by each joint venture partner with an initial cash investment of 819. At the same time the joint venture partners established another 50-50 owned company, BRC Gas Equipment Ltda (BRCGE),
with the objective of succeeding BRC Brasil in its activity of importation and sale of BRCs products on the Brazilian market until such time as WMTM had become fully operational. BRC Brasil subscribed to the creation of BRCGE by contributing
the inventories and certain other assets for a value of 717. MTM has also provided for a bank guarantee to WMTM for an amount of
1.5 million, which was subsequently reduced to 275. In exchange for entering into the joint venture agreement, BRC Brasil received from WM $2.2 million (1.6 million). The agreement also required that BRC Brasil pay WM a certain amount in the event that BRCGE failed to achieve a stipulated level of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as
defined (EBTIDA). Conversely, WM would pay BRC Brasil if the EBITDA exceeded the stipulated level of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined. In 2003, the parties agreed that the stipulated level
of EBITDA had not been achieved and, accordingly, BRC Brasil paid 98 and recorded this amount as a reduction of the $2.2 million
(1.6 million). The company has accounted for this transaction in accordance with EITF 01-2 Interpretations of APB Opinion No 29 and
has recognised a partial gain in 2002 of 953, representing 50% of the excess of the fair value of the assets given up over the
carrying value of such assets. The remaining 50% have been recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of Companys investment in the joint venture companies.



In August 2003 BRCGE ceased operations and in September 2003 was merged into WMTM. The carrying value of the investments in WMTM at
December 31, 2004 has been classified as an equity investment.



In August
2003, BRC Brasil and WM each made loans to WMTM in the amount of 5.0 million Real (1.4 million) and each company subsequently made
additional loans in the amount of 2.0 million Real (0.6 million). The total of the loans made by BRC Brasil to WMTM has been
classified as loans to affiliated companies. The loans are non-interest bearing and are due in January 2005



|7. | Short-term Borrowings
|-- | ---------------------



At December 31, 2004, the Company has an unsecured line of credit amounting to approximately 1.1 million with no outstanding balance. Additionally, the Company has up to a

6.1 million line of credit secured by customer
account receivable drafts, which has current available of 3.3 million and has no outstanding balance. The weighted average interest
rate on these short-term borrowings was approximately 3.5%, nil and nil par annum at December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. The lines of credit are callable on demand.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



committed sales/purchases and investments in debt securities denominated in foreign currency.



Concentration of Credit Risk



Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentration of credit risks consist principally of cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The
Group maintains cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with financial institutions located in the various countries in which it operates. The Company selects only financial institutions with high credit standards for use in its
investment strategies.



Concentration of credit risk and the risk of
accounting loss with respect to trade receivables is generally limited due to the large number of the Companys end customers. The Company generally does not require collateral with respect to goods and services provided in Italy, but normally
makes sales to foreign customers against secured letters of credit.



The
Companys two largest individual customers accounted for 18.9%, 22%, and 22% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.



Fair Value of Financial Instruments



The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments.



Cash and cash equivalentsThe carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents
reported by the Company approximates their fair value.



Account
receivable and payableThe carrying amount of accounts receivable and payable approximates their fair value.



Short and long-term debtThe fair value of long-term debt, as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, amounts to approximately 5,507, 934 and 8,657, respectively. The carrying amount of the Companys other borrowings approximately their fair value. The fair values of the
Companys long term debt are estimated using cash flow analyses, based on the Companys incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
