                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

GENERAL

     Vector Aeromotive Corporation (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation
formed in 1987 that designs, manufactures and markets exotic sports cars.

     During fiscal years 1992 and 1993, the Company developed design concept
specifications for the Vector M12 (formerly known as the Avtech).  Since 1994,
the Company has been engaged in design, development, marketing and manufacturing
of the M12, a two-passenger, mid-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe with a suggested
retail price of $184,000.  All development, testing and pre-production
activities were completed in 1995.  The M12 premiered at the North American Auto
Show in Detroit in January 1996.  The first M12 was completed and sold in March
1996. The Company anticipates that it will produce at a rate of up to 12  cars
per month by the end of 1996.

     The Company purchased the assets of its predecessor in 1987 and from 1987
to early 1993 designed and produced a total of 22 of its first production
model, the Vector W8.  Production of the Vector W8 was ceased in early 1993.

CHANGE OF CONTROL AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

     In a series of transactions from July 1992 through January 1996, Setdco
Engineering Corporation ("Setdco") and V'Power Corporation ("V'Power") acquired
9% and 70%, respectively, of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock.
V'Power also has the right to acquire an additional 106,000,000 shares of
Common Stock pursuant to presently exercisable options.  Exercise of these
options would give V'Power ownership of approximately 90% of the Company's
outstanding shares of Common Stock.  V'Power is controlled by Mr. Hutomo
Mandala Putra, who is also the controlling stockholder of Automobili
Lamborghini, S.p.A. ("Lamborghini"), the manufacturer of the Italian exotic
sports car, and 50% shareholder of Automobili Lamborghini U.S.A., Inc.
("Lamborghini U.S.A."), the American importer and distributor of Lamborghini
products.

     In March 1993, the Company terminated the employment of Gerald A. Wiegert,
who was the Company's founder, and Mr. Wiegert was removed from his positions
as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  Litigation between
the Company and Mr. Wiegert was initiated in 1993, and significant claims and
counterclaims are currently pending in this litigation.  The Company has
dedicated significant resources and management time to this ongoing litigation.
See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings."

     V'Power has provided funds to the Company in the past through the purchase
of additional shares of Common Stock and options to purchase Common Stock.  In
April 1994, for an aggregate of $2,250,000, V'Power acquired 3,000,000 shares
of Common Stock and an option expiring April 1996 to purchase an additional
6,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a $.75 per share exercise price.  In
January and April 1995, for an aggregate of $6,000,000, V'Power acquired
18,333,333 shares of Common Stock and an option to purchase an additional
50,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a $.43 per share exercise price.  This
option expires in April 1996.  In January 1996, for an aggregate of $5,000,000,
V'Power acquired 10,000,000 newly-issued shares of Common Stock and an option
expiring

                                       2


<PAGE>   3

January 1997 to acquire an additional 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a
$.45 per share exercise price.

     The Company received investment bankers' fairness opinions with respect to
the 1995 and the 1996 transactions, and the Company believes that these
transactions with V'Power were fair to and in the best interests of the
Company.  There can be no assurance that V'Power will provide additional funds
to the Company, either through purchase of additional equity securities from
the Company or exercise of the existing options.

     In February 1996, a registration statement filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission became effective.  In addition to
registering the shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Company's outstanding publicly traded warrants, this registration statement
registered for resale in the market or public or private transactions all
6,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock held by Setdco and 10,000,000 of
the shares of the Company's Common Stock held by V'Power.

RELATIONSHIP WITH LAMBORGHINI

     The Company has identified and established mutually beneficial
relationships with Lamborghini and Lamborghini U.S.A.  To date, these
arrangements include joint development, and manufacture by Lamborghini of the
engine for the Vector M12 and the sub-lease of a facility in Jacksonville,
Florida, by the Company from Lamborghini U.S.A. for the Company's executive
offices.  Potential conflicts of interest exist between the Company and
Lamborghini and Lamborghini U.S.A. with respect to competition for dealers and
customers.

     Michael J. Kimberley, a director of the Company, serves as managing
director of Lamborghini.  In addition, Sudjaswin E.L., a director of the
Company, is a managing director of Lamborghini.

THE EXOTIC SPORTS CAR MARKET

     The exotic sports car market consists of automobiles with suggested retail
prices ranging from $110,000 to $1,000,000 and that are capable of sustained
speeds in excess of 160 miles per hour.  In addition to differentiation from
other sports cars by price and speed, exotic sports cars are distinguished by
appearance, driving performance, technologically superior, high performance
components and hand manufacturing.  To the Company's knowledge, there are no
other United States-based manufacturers of exotic sports cars, although Ford
Motor Company owns Aston-Martin.

     Management estimates that the worldwide market for exotic sports cars is
approximately 3,500 cars per year and that the United States market is 900 per
year.  The largest competitor in the United States and world markets is
Ferrari, which the Company estimates sold 3,000 cars worldwide and 700 in the
United States in 1995.  Other competitors include Aston-Martin and Lamborghini.
See "Competition."

     North American sales of exotic sports cars are concentrated in large
metropolitan areas.  In particular, urban areas of New York, Florida, Texas,
California and Illinois account for a large percentage of all sports car sales,
including exotic sports cars.  The Company also believes that significant
markets exist in Western Europe, Southeast Asia and South America.



                                       3

THE VECTOR M12

     Preliminary development work on the Vector M12 began in mid-1994.   The
Company's development and engineering efforts since that time have focused on
the M12, and production commenced in late 1995.  The M12 features new body
styling and more competitive pricing than its predecessor, the Vector W8.  The
M12 nevertheless continues to reflect the Company's commitment to producing
exotic sports cars with design, engineering and performance characteristics
which are equal or superior to other cars in the M12 class.

     The M12 is a two-passenger, mid-engine, rear wheel drive coupe fitted with
driver and passenger side airbags.  The M12 features an all new Vector engine
jointly developed by Lamborghini and the Company and manufactured by
Lamborghini.  The aluminum alloy, V-12 four valve engine generates a maximum of
492 horsepower at 6,800 revolutions per minute and maximum torque of 425 pounds
feet at 5,200 revolutions per minute.  The M12 uses a 5-speed, manual
transaxle.

     Chassis construction utilizes a semi-monocoque structure with a
chrome-moly steel roll cage, while body construction is of one-piece glass and
carbon fiber/epoxy composite.  Front suspension consists of independent,
unequal length A-arms, concentric coil springs and shock absorbers and
anti-dive characteristics.  Rear suspension is also by unequal length A-arms
using concentric coil springs with adjustable shock absorbers and anti-squat
characteristics.

     The M12 employs a hydraulic braking system with vacuum power assistance,
twin cylinder calipers and ventilated discs in both front and rear.  Steering
is rack and pinion with power assistance.  The ignition system uses a computer
engine management system complete with function warning devices.  The emission
control system utilizes multi-point fuel injection, plus catalytic converters
with lambda sensors.  The cooling system uses pressurized twin aluminum
radiators with automatic electric fan for cooling assistance.

     Dimensions of the M12 include a 108-inch wheelbase; front track of 62.625
inches and rear track of 64.10 inches; overall length, width and height of 186
inches, 79.90 inches and 43 inches, respectively; ground clearance is 5 inches;
and curb weight approximately 3,500 pounds.

     The M12 is capable of a maximum speed in excess of 190 miles per hour and
acceleration from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than 4.5 seconds.

MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY

     The Company manufactures the chassis and all body parts of the Vector M12
at its 22,500 square foot manufacturing, assembly and warehouse facility in
Green Cove Springs, Florida.  The Company currently employs 70 manufacturing
and assembly workers at this facility.  The Company anticipates that no 
significant increase in the existing levels of staffing will be required for 
attaining the desired 1996 production levels.

     The Vector M12 was placed into production in October 1995, with the first
production vehicles completed in March 1996.  The Company anticipates that it
will produce at a rate of up to 12 cars per month by the end of 1996.

     The Company contracts with third parties for the manufacture of certain
major components and subsystems.  For example, the Vector engine was
co-designed and is produced by Lamborghini, the M12 gearbox is produced by RBT
Transmission Inc., and the steering rack is produced by Adwest

                                       4

<PAGE>   5
Engineering, Ltd.  In addition, the Company purchases a variety of other
components, subsystems and equipment from a number of other suppliers.

     The use of Lamborghini and others as suppliers of the Vector engine and
other components and subsystems allows the Company to limit its investment in
production assets .  This practice, however, also subjects the Company to risks
associated with delivery schedules and quality control.  For example, the
Company's ability to obtain timely delivery of components meeting the Company's
specifications could materially delay the Company's ability to produce and
deliver automobiles.  The duration of any such delay and the resulting negative
impact on the Company's operations would increase significantly if alternative
suppliers are not readily available.  The Company currently believes that
Lamborghini will be capable of supplying engines and that there will be
alternative sources for other components and subsystems.  There can be no
assurance, however, that the delays and quality control problems described
above will not be experienced from time to time.

MARKETING

     The Vector M12 will be sold at retail by dealers that have entered into
sales and service agreements with the Company and that will purchase automobiles
and parts from the Company for sale to retail customers.  The Company will rely
heavily on the development of a dealer network in marketing the Vector M12, and
the strength and quality of the dealer network will have an important impact on
future sales.  As of March 15, 1996, the Company had three active dealers
located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Gilroy, California, and Portland, Oregon.
As the Company's production levels increase, the Company intends to activate an
additional 12 dealers in North American and international markets.

     The Company anticipates that it will be able to enter into arrangements
with a sufficient number of quality dealers to implement an effective dealer
network.  See "Competition."

     Under the Company's dealer arrangements, each dealer is required to
purchase and carry two Vector M12's in inventory.  The Company has no present
plans to offer financing to dealers.

     The Company intends to market the Vector M12 through publicity in
automotive and lifestyle magazines.

     The Vector M12 made its debut at the North American Auto Show in Detroit
January 1996.  The M12 has also been presented at IMSA's 24 Hours of Daytona.
The M12 will continue to be publicized through appearances at auto and other
shows and other events.  Auto shows will be selected based on a number of
criteria, including the exposure and reputation of each show, the cost of
participation, the desire to support authorized Vector dealers based in the
geographic market in which the show is located, and scheduling considerations.
Among the industry's key auto shows in addition to the North American Auto Show
are the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show, the New York Auto Show, and
international auto shows in Frankfurt, Germany and Tokyo, Japan.  The Company
is likely to participate in one to three auto shows per year based on the
criteria above.

BACKLOG

     As a result of the requirement that each of the Company's three active
dealers carry two Vector M12's in inventory, the Company at March 15, 1996
had an $813,000 backlog of unfilled purchase orders.



                                       5

<PAGE>   6
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

     The Company has expended to date since initial design work began in
mid-1991 an aggregate of $8.2 million on research and development of the Vector
M12, none of which was customer-sponsored.  Research and development expense
totaled $4,822,000, $260,000, $1,180,000 and $723,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995, three  month's ended December 31, 1994 and fiscal years ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The Company anticipates spending
significantly less than 1995 amounts in 1996 for research and development,
focusing on designing and producing a light weight version of the M12 to be used
for racing and for sale to private individuals for racing or road use. Plans for
other production vehicles for future years are currently being formulated.

COMPETITION

     The exotic sports car market is highly competitive.  The largest volume
competitor in the United States and world markets is Ferrari.  Other
competitors include Aston-Martin and Lamborghini.   The Company may also be
subject to competition from other firms desiring to enter the exotic sports car
market, such as Porsche, Maserati or other sports car manufacturers.  Many of
the Company's competitors have longer operating histories, greater name
recognition and more extensive and well-established dealer networks than the
Company, and certain competitors have greater financial, marketing and
technical resources than the Company.   Competition at the retail level is
based upon, among other things, price, performance, styling,  reliability,
number and quality of dealers, availability of financing, warranty coverage,
and availability of parts and repair.  Competition also exists among exotic
sports car manufacturers for dealers.  Competition for dealers is based upon,
among other things, product desirability, price and, to a lesser degree,
financing.  Although the Company hopes that its products will gain market
acceptance and believes that it will be able to develop an effective dealer
network, given the Company's limited operating history, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete effectively for either
dealers or retail customers.

REGULATION

     The manufacture and assembly of exotic sports cars such as the Vector M12
are subject to a variety of federal and state regulations concerning emission
controls, safety, fuel economy, noise control and crash worthiness.  For
example, all vehicles sold in the United States are subject to Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") regulations and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards ("FMVSS") which are administered by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration ("NHTSA").  In addition, any vehicle sold in the State of
California is subject to more stringent regulation developed by the California
Air Resources Board ("CARB").  Other states may adopt vehicle emission
standards identical to those adopted by the State of California.  The States of
New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, and New Jersey have also adopted
California standards and several other states are considering similar action.
The Company has successfully completed all of the major safety tests required
by the EPA, FMVSS and CARB.

     Vehicle Emissions Standards

     Under the federal Clean Air Act, auto manufacturers are required, among
other things, to significantly reduce tailpipe emissions of polluting gases
from automobiles and light trucks and are obligated to recall vehicles for
failure to meet emission standards for a period of eight years or 80,000 miles,
whichever occurs first.  This Act imposes standards for model years through
2003 that require further significant reductions in motor vehicle emissions.

     The Clean Air Act also requires full implementation of on-board diagnostic
systems ("OBD") on 1996 model year light-duty vehicles.  California has its own
OBD requirements which are more stringent

                                       6

<PAGE>   7

than the federal requirements.  These OBD requirements are of concern because
they may cause increased warranty costs and additional recalls.

     CAFE

     The Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act, as amended by the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act, requires vehicle manufacturers to provide
vehicles that comply with federally mandated Corporate Average Fuel Economy
("CAFE") standards.  Under this Act, a manufacturer earns credits for
exceeding the applicable fuel economy standards.  Failure to meet the average
fleet fuel economy standards can result in the imposition of penalties unless a
manufacturer has sufficient fuel economy credits from the preceding three years
or projects that it will generate sufficient credits over the succeeding three
years.  In addition, the Energy Tax Act of 1978 imposes a graduated "Gas
Guzzler" tax on automobiles with a fuel economy rating below specified levels,
such as the M12.  The Company does not anticipate that the amount of these
penalties and taxes will be material to the Company or purchasers of the
Company's automobiles.

     Vehicle Safety

     Under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1996, NHTSA is
required to establish federal motor vehicle safety standards that are
practicable, meet the need for motor vehicle safety and are stated in objective
terms.  NHTSA has announced its intention to upgrade certain existing standards
and to establish additional standards in the future.  The Company expects to be
able to comply with those standards.

     Vehicle Recalls

     Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA may require manufacturers to recall and
repair vehicles that fail to meet emission standards established under that
Act.  Similarly, the Act authorizes the State of California to require recalls
for vehicles that fail to meet its emissions standards.

     The Safety Act authorizes NHTSA to investigate reported vehicle problems
and to order a recall if it determines that a safety-related defect exists.

     The Company's emissions and safety-related recall costs can be expected to
vary widely from year to year, and could be expensive and require time
consuming modifications in future periods, depending on the corrective action
required to remedy a particular condition and the number of vehicles involved.

     Stationary Source Regulation

     The Company's assembly, manufacturing and other operations are subject to
environmental regulation under the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990
and the Toxic Substances Control Act, as well as a substantial volume of state
legislation paralleling and, in some cases, imposing more stringent obligations
than the federal requirements.  These regulations impose severe restrictions on
air and water-born discharges of pollution from the Company's manufacturing
facility, the handling of hazardous materials at and the disposal of wastes
from this facility.  The Company expects its capital requirements for the
period 1996 through 2000 will not be substantial related to compliance with
these regulations.



                                       7

EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS

     At March 15, 1996, the Company had 86 full-time employees none of whom are
subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and of whom 5 are engaged in
engineering, 70 in manufacturing and assembly, and 11 in administrative
activities.


ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.

     The Company currently leases on a month-to-month basis approximately 7,000
square feet of office and warehouse space in Jacksonville, Florida from
Lamborghini USA at a rental rate of $7,176 per month.

     The Company also currently leases on a month-to-month basis 22,500 square
feet of manufacturing, assembly and warehouse space in Green Cove Springs,
Florida at a cost of $5,183 per month from an unrelated party.  This facility 
serves as the Company's manufacturing and assembly facility.


ITEM 3.  LITIGATION

     As described below, the Company and Gerald A. Wiegert are parties to
certain legal proceedings which arose principally in connection with the
termination in 1993 of Mr. Wiegert as the Company's Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer.  The Company is also a party to certain legal
proceedings against persons who acted with Mr. Wiegert in defiance of the
Company's Board of Directors.

     In order to gain undisputed access and control over the Company's
facilities, assets and business operations, on March 24, 1993, the Company filed
an action in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County captioned as
Vector Aeromotive Corporation v. Gerald A. Wiegert, requesting declaratory
relief and a temporary restraining order. On September 14, 1993, the court
granted the Company's motion for summary judgment on the declaratory judgment
contained in the amended complaint. Specifically, the court entered an order (i)
declaring that the Board properly exercised its authority to remove Mr. Wiegert
as an officer of the Company; (ii) enjoining Mr. Wiegert from any further
dealing with the property or interests of the Company; and (iii) calling for an
orderly transfer of day-to-day management of the Company to the Board.  To date,
the Company believes that Mr. Wiegert has complied with the September 14, 1993
court order by refraining from participation in Company affairs and by
transferring day-to-day management of the Company to the Board.

     Although the court granted summary judgment in favor of the Company on its
claim for declaratory relief and undisputed, physical control of the Company
has been returned to the Board, all other claims in the Company's amended
complaint are pending.  These claims seek monetary damages in an amount to be
proven at trial.  Mr. Wiegert has asserted various claims against the Company,
including claims for unpaid rent on the Company's former principal facility,
which was leased by the Company from Mr. Wiegert; breach of employment
agreement; and for the return of business assets which Mr. Wiegert alleges are
owned by him rather than by the Company.  These claims have been asserted in a
separate action filed in the Superior Court of California for Los Angeles
County on September 27, 1993 captioned Gerald A. Wiegert v. Vector Aeromotive
Corporation.  Mr. Wiegert's complaint was dismissed by the court because it
contained claims which should have been asserted as cross-claims within the
Company's original action against Mr. Wiegert.


                                       8


<PAGE>   9


     In February 1994, Mr. Wiegert filed a cross-complaint against the Company,
its directors, and its outside securities counsel alleging, among other things,
breach of employment contract; breach of covenant of good faith and fair
dealing; intentional and negligent misrepresentation; interference with
contractual advantage and business interest; negligent and intentional
infliction of emotional distress; and libel and slander.  The Company has
challenged the legal sufficiency of the cross-complaint, including subsequent
amendments thereof, resulting in elimination of all claims except the claims
concerning breach of employment contract by the Company, unpaid rent,
conversion, libel and slander.  The Company plans to file a motion for summary
judgment for the purpose of eliminating Mr. Wiegert's causes of action for
conversion, libel, slander and conspiracy.  In another action filed by Mr.
Wiegert as general partner of Vector Car entitled Vector Car v. Vector
Aeromotive Corporation, et al., Mr. Wiegert alleges that the Company assumed a
Vector Car debt owed to him of approximately $325,000 and that the Company is
obligated to Vector Car under the terms of a $250,000 promissory note payable
to Vector Car.  The Company intends to vigorously defend this action.

     The three aforementioned actions between the Company and Mr. Wiegert are
expected to be tried in 1996.

     The Company has discovered that Mr. Wiegert has filed an application with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office to register "Avtech" as a
trademark.  In December 1994, the Company filed a Notice of Opposition with the
Trademark Trial and Appeal Board with respect to such application.  On January
25, 1995, a motion to suspend proceedings was granted pending resolution of
previously discussed actions between the Company and Mr. Wiegert.

     Subsequent to the Company's initiation of the litigation described above,
five related civil lawsuits have been filed in the Superior Court of California
for Los Angeles County.  In Vector Aeromotive Corporation v. Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. (Case Number BC092389), the Company alleges that
subsequent to March 22, 1993, Mr. Wiegert and David Kostka, the Company's
former Secretary, acting in cooperation with certain representatives of Merrill
Lynch, opened "money-market" accounts which were used to deposit and disburse
funds of the Company.  The Company contends that Merrill Lynch undertook these
activities with knowledge that the Board of Directors' resolutions on which
Merrill Lynch acted in establishing such accounts were invalid and
unauthorized.  In a related action, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith v.
Vector Aeromotive Corporation (Case No. BC085474), Merrill Lynch interpled
those funds which remained in the accounts.  In September 1993, the funds then
remaining in the account were released to the Company pursuant to court order.
Having received the remaining funds in the account, the Company seeks damages
in an amount to be proved at trial.  This action was ordered to arbitration and
the Company has submitted a claim to the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") where the dispute will be heard by a three member panel.
Merrill Lynch has filed a motion to dismiss the Company's case before the
NASD.  The Company has opposed the motion, but no decision has been rendered.

     In Vector Aeromotive Corporation v. Tokai Bank of California (Case Number
BC092534), the Company alleges that Tokai Bank wrongfully, and with knowledge
of the activities of Messrs. Wiegert and Kostka, opened accounts and allowed
Mr. Wiegert to disburse corporate funds for purposes not authorized by the
Board of Directors.  The Company seeks recovery from Tokai Bank of funds
wrongfully disbursed to Mr. Wiegert in an amount to be proved at trial.  Tokai
Bank filed a motion for summary judgment in its favor which was argued and 
was denied.

     In Vector Aeromotive Corporation v. David Kostka (Case Number BC091267),
the Company seeks to recover disbursements made by Messrs. Wiegert and Kostka
through the Merrill Lynch and

                                       9

<PAGE>   10

Tokai Bank accounts described above.  The Company alleges that such accounts
were established based on the certificate of Mr. Kostka as corporate secretary
without the Board of Directors' authorization.  Mr. Kostka has filed a
cross-complaint for breach of employment contract and will seek damages
therefore of approximately $20,000.

     In Vector Aeromotive Corporation v. Barash & Hill, et al. (Case No.
BC092390), the Company alleges that the law firm of Barash & Hill, the law firm
of Seyfarth, Fairweather & Geraldson, Jerry M. Hill and Anthony H. Barash
committed legal malpractice as a result of the conflicts of interest which such
firms and lawyers encountered in representing the separate interests of Mr.
Wiegert at the expense of the Company and their failure to return funds
belonging to the Company.

     The Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims against Mr. Wiegert
and the other defendants identified above, and to vigorously defend against the
counterclaims asserted in such actions.  Other than as described above, the
Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings, other than ordinary
routine litigation incidental to its business.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

GENERAL

     The design, production and sale of exotic sports cars is a
capital-intensive business.  The capital requirements inherent in this
industry, combined with the Company's lack of sales during the development of
the Vector M12, have forced the Company to raise significant capital from time
to time in order to fund continued operations.  The Company had no sales in
1995 and sales in calendar 1994 were extremely limited.

     Because of the Company's lack of sales in 1994 and 1995 and the
commencement of production activities in the fourth quarter of 1994,
comparisons from period to period have limited meaning.

     The Company ceased production activities in early 1993 and re-commenced
production in late 1995.  During calendar 1994 and 1995, the Company's efforts
focused on the design, development, marketing and commencement of production of
the Vector M12.  Production of the M12 commenced in October 1995, and in March
1996 the Company sold its first M12.  The Company plans to produce at  a rate
of up to 12 cars per month by the end of 1996.

     Litigation with the Company's former President, Gerald Wiegert, has
consumed significant capital and management attention since Mr. Wiegert's
termination in March 1993.  For further information with respect to this
litigation, see Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements included elsewhere
herein.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has financed its operations through the private and public
sale of equity securities.  Since October 1, 1992 (the beginning of the
Company's fiscal 1993), the Company received approximately $16.5 million in net
offering proceeds from the sale of equity securities through January 1996,
compared to the Company's aggregate sales of $1.87 million during the same 
period.

     Since the beginning of fiscal 1993, the Company's principal source of
capital has been the private sale of Common Stock and options therefore to
V'Power and Setdco.  In April 1994, for an aggregate of $2,250,000, V'Power
acquired 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock and an option to purchase an
additional 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a $.75 per share exercise
price that expires in April 1996.  In January and April 1995, for an aggregate
of $6,000,000, V'Power acquired 18,333,333 shares of Common Stock and an option
to purchase an additional 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a $.43 per
share exercise price.  This option expires in April 1996.  In January 1996, for
an aggregate of $5,000,000, V'Power acquired 10,000,000 newly-issued shares of
Common Stock and an option expiring January 1997 to acquire an additional
50,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a $.45 per share exercise price.

     The Company received investment bankers' fairness opinions with respect to
the 1995 and the 1996 transactions, and the Company believes that these
transactions with V'Power were fair to and in the best interests of the
Company.  There can be no assurance that V'Power will provide additional funds
to the Company, either through purchase of additional equity securities from
the Company or exercise of the existing option, to satisfy the Company's
capital needs.


                                       12

<PAGE>   13


     In February 1996, a registration statement was filed by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In addition to registering the shares
of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company's
outstanding publicly traded warrants, this registration statement also
registered for resale in the market or public or private transactions all
6,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock held by Setdco and 10,000,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock held by V'Power.

     At March 15, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $1.4 million, representing the unapplied balance of the net
proceeds from the private sale to V'Power in January 1996.  Net cash used by
the Company in 1995 totalled $6,565,000, consisting of $5,892,000 used for
research and development and operating activities and $673,000 used in the
purchase of capital assets including tooling.  The Company anticipates spending
significantly less in 1996 for research and development. Although the Company
received the first proceeds of the sale of M12 automobiles in March 1996 and
anticipates generating an increasing revenue stream from M12 sales, the Company
anticipates continued losses and negative cash flow through mid-1996. The
Company anticipates that its current funds will be adequate until the Company
attains positive cash flow through vehicle sales, the Company may require
additional cash resources in order to continue manufacture of the M12 and
continue research and development on additional models or for a variety of
other reasons.  The Company has no commitment from others to provide additional
capital, and there can be no assurance that such funding will be available when
needed, or if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable to the
Company.  Should the Company be unable to obtain additional capital, when and
if needed, it could be forced to either curtail operations or cease business
activities altogether.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company had a net loss of
$7,653,000 and no revenues.  Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 1995
were $108,000, representing the cost of a W8 write-down to estimated market and
obsolete W8 replacement part inventory written off during the year.  In the
three-month transition period from October 1 through December 31, 1994, the
Company had a net loss of $765,000.  During this three-month period two W8's
were sold to a related party at cost.  During fiscal 1993 four automobiles were
sold for a total of $1,466,000, and during fiscal 1994 sales of $48,000 were
reported for service and repair work. The Company anticipates continued net
losses in each calendar quarter at least through mid-1996.  As a firm entering
the production stage, the success of the Company will be affected by expenses,
operational difficulties and other factors frequently encountered in the
development of a business enterprise in a competitive environment, many of which
may be beyond the Company's control.
        
     Total general and administrative expenses decreased from $3,363,000 for
the year ended September 30, 1994 to $2,979,000 for the year ended December 31,
1995, an 11% reduction, primarily due to decreases in professional fees from
$1,070,000 in 1994 to $659,000 in 1995.  Professional fees are expected to
continue to decline as various lawsuits are settled or tried.  The reduction in
professional fees for 1995 was partially offset by increases in salaries and
wages and related benefits as the workforce was replenished to become fully
operational after the layoffs which occurred in 1994.  General and
administrative expenses for 1995 also included a litigation settlement
totaling $100,000.  During the years ended 1995, 1994 and 1993, non-cash
compensation expense relating to granting stock options below market value
was recorded totaling $133,000, $37,188 and $-0- respectively.  General and
administrative expense in fiscal 1994 included reclassifications from other
income (expense) of $125,000 for litigation expense and $131,000 for
relocation expenses.

     Total general and administrative expenses for the year ended September 30,
1993 were $3,189,000, or $174,000 lower than the year ended September 30, 1994.
The increase in general and

                                       13

<PAGE>   14

administrative expense in 1994 was caused primarily by higher professional
fees, including legal fees.  During fiscal 1993 the Company recognized an
expense of $698,000 in connection with the relocation of the Company's facility
and the abandonment of certain leasehold improvements and equipment.    General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1994
totaling $558,000 were incurred primarily for professional fees, salary and
wages and related benefits and relocation expenses totaling approximately
$100,000.

     Research and development has increased from $723,000 in fiscal year 1993
to $4,822,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 reflecting the expense and
concerted efforts in 1995 to complete the design, engineering, development and
commencement of production of the Vector M12.

     Other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 1995 totaling
$256,000 included $133,000 of interest income on invested funds and
approximately $100,000 of settlements of outstanding obligations.  This
compares to other income of $133,000 in fiscal year September 30, 1994
resulting primarily from interest income and fees for usage of Vector cars in
films and commercials, and $263,000 in fiscal year September 30, 1993 which
resulted primarily from the sale of a prototype automobile.  Other income
during the three months ended December 31, 1994 was $54,000.

     The Company has deferred tax assets at December 31, 1995 totaling
$12,775,000 which have a valuation allowance of equal amount established.

New Accounting Standards

     The Company is required to adopt the provisions of Statement of
Financing Accounting Standards No. 121, ("SFAS No. 121"), Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
during its fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.  SFAS No. 121 requires the
recognition and measurement of impairment to long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable.  The
effect of the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 121 has not yet been determined.

     The Company is also required to adopt the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ("SFAS No. 123"), Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation during its fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.   SFAS No.
123, among other things, requires certain added disclosures regarding the fair
value of equity instruments, such as stock options, issued by the Company.  In
addition, SFAS No. 123 encourages the recognition of expense for the fair value
of equity instruments issued by the Company.

     The Company has not yet determined whether the optional expense
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 will be adopted, and therefore, the
effects of adopting SFAS No. 123 have not been determined.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants



Board of Directors
Vector Aeromotive Corporation
Jacksonville, Florida


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vector Aeromotive
Corporation as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and September 30, 1994 and the
related statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 1995, September 30, 1994 and 1993 and the
three months ended December 31, 1994. 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 audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Vector Aeromotive Corporation
at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and September 30, 1994 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1995, September
30, 1994 and 1993 and for the three months ended December 31, 1994 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in the summary of significant accounting policies to the financial

1.   Summary of             Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
     Significant            107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
     Accounting             Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value
     Policies               information about financial instruments. Fair value
     (Continued)            estimates discussed herein are based upon certain 
                            market assumptions and pertinent information 
                            available to management as of December 31, 1995.

                            on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated

                            were assumed to approximate carrying values for
                            these financial instruments since they are short

Prior to August 1994, the Company leased its primary operating facility from 
its former President. During October 1992, the lease on this facility expired 
and the lease, along with leases on other facilities, continued on a month-to-
month basis. As management of the Company anticipated renewing the leases, it
was the Company's policy to amortize leasehold improvements over five years,
the anticipated lease term. As a result of litigation between the Company and
its former President (see Note 10), management of the Company relocated 
operations to new facilities in August 1994. Accordingly, included in 
abandonment of property and equipment for the year ended September 30, 1993 is
$423,666 representing the net book value of leasehold improvements associated 
with the original facilities. 
                                                                                
Additionally, during the year ended September 30, 1993, the Company 
discontinued production of the model Vector W8.  Accordingly, certain tooling 
with a net book value of $274,400 specifically related to the Vector W8 was 
expensed.

                            of intent with Eagle Holdings Limited (Eagle),
                            acting on behalf of Setdco Engineering Corporation
                            (Setdco), pursuant to which Eagle initially
                            purchased 2,000,000 common shares of the Company for
                            $.50 per share for a total purchase price of
                            $1,000,000 and agreed to purchase an additional
                            2,000,000 common shares. On September 25, 1992, the
                            letter of intent was supplemented, and Eagle
                            purchased 1,000,000 common shares for $500,000. The

                            issued to Setdco for $220,000. Additionally,
                            effective October 28, 1992, the Company entered into

7. Stock Options            On September 22, 1992, the Company granted to the 
   and Warrants             then-President of the Company a warrant to purchase 
   (Continued)              an additional 1,000,000 common shares at an 
                            exercise  price of $.22 per share which
                            approximated the then market price. The warrant may
                            be exercised for a period of four years commencing
                            on September 22, 1993.  On December 23, 1992, the
                            then-President of the Company assigned his rights
                            under this warrant to Setdco Engineering Corporation
                            (see Note 6).

                            In October 1993, the Company issued 1,000,000
                            common stock warrants with an exercise price of
                            $.21875 per share to certain directors and employees
                            of the Company. The fair market value of the
                            Company's common stock at the date of issuance of
                            these warrants was $437,500 ($.4375 per share) for
                            1,000,000 warrants. The total amount recorded as
                            expense related to these warrants amounted to
                            $218,750.

                            During 1995, the exercise price of 400,000
                            warrants was reduced from $4.68 per share to $1.50
                            per share, and the related expiration dates were
                            extended from November 14, 1995 to August 12, 1996.
                            Additionally, the expiration date of another 300,000
                            warrants was extended from January 1, 1996 to April
                            11, 1996.

                            Subsequent to December 31, 1995, 332,500
                            warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $.22
                            per share.

8. Income Taxes             The Company adopted Statement of Financial 
                            Accounting Standards No 109 (FAS 109),"Accounting 
                            for Income Taxes," for the fiscal year beginning
                            October 1, 1993.  FAS 109 is an assets and
                            liability approach that requires the recognition of
                            deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
                            expected future tax consequences of events that
                            have been recognized in the Company's financial
                            statements or tax returns.  The components of the
                            net deferred tax assets consist of the following:

                            The Company had unused net operating losses for
                            income tax purposes, expiring in various amounts
                            from 2003 through 2010, of approximately $30,522,000
                            at December 31, 1995 for carryforward against future
                            years' taxable income. However, as a result of the
                            Company's stock offerings (see Note 6), these NOLs
                            will be limited each year under the provisions of
                            Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
                            amended.

                            The tax benefit of these losses has been offset
                            by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of
                            its realization.

                            The Company has research and development tax
                            credit carryforwards of approximately $777,000 which
                            expire between 2005 and 2008.

9.  Net Loss                Net loss per share was calculated based on the 
    Per Share               weighted average shares outstanding during the 
                            year. Shares held in escrow pursuant to an escrow
                            agreement between the former President of the
                            Company and the Company have not been included in
                            the weighted average shares outstanding during the
                            periods as their inclusion would be antidilutive. 
                            Also, the effect of outstanding stock options and
                            warrants was not included in the calculations as
                            their effect was antidilutive.

10. Litigation              On March 22, 1993, the Company's Board of 
                            Directors (the Board) determined that Gerald A.
                            Wiegert's (the former President of the Company)
                            employment as an officer and employee of the
                            Company should be terminated. Mr. Wiegert disputed
                            the Board's authority to terminate his employment
                            and refused to relinquish control over the
                            Company's assets and operations. This dispute
                            between the Company, acting through its Board and
                            certain executive officers, and Mr. Wiegert is the
                            subject of an ongoing civil lawsuit which was
                            commenced by the Company on March 26, 1993.

                            On September 14, 1993, the Company obtained a
                            court order confirming the validity of Mr.
                            Wiegert's termination, and control of the Company's
                            assets and business affairs has been returned to
                            the Board. Significant claims made by the Company
                            against Mr. Wiegert, and by Mr. Wiegert against the
                            Company, seeking monetary damages are pending.

10.    Litigation           On May 12, 1993, the Company filed an amended 
       (Continued)          complaint with the Los Angeles County Superior 
                            Court.  The amended complaint contains ten
                            separate claims for relief, including claims
                            based on breach of fiduciary duty; breach of
                            employment agreement; conversion of Company assets;
                            and fraud.  In general, these claims are based on
                            allegations that Mr. Wiegert, through a variety of
                            devices and transactions, has converted for his own
                            benefit or the benefit of his family members cash,
                            assets and business opportunities belonging to the
                            Company.  These claims seek monetary damages in an
                            amount to be proven at trial.

                            Subsequent to the Company's initiation of the
                            lawsuit described above, additional civil lawsuits
                            have been filed wherein the Company seeks damages
                            from its former corporate secretary, former lawyers
                            of the Company, and financial institutions holding
                            Company funds, respectively. In general, these
                            cases relate to participation of the respective
                            defendants in transactions or conduct directed by
                            Mr. Wiegert subsequent to March 22, 1993.

                            In connection with the above matters,
                            management of the Company has identified certain
                            amounts which management believes are due from Mr.
                            Wiegert and others totalling $475,479 at September
                            30, 1993.  As the ultimate determination of amounts
                            due are the subject of litigation which is in the
                            discovery stage and as the ultimate collectibility
                            of such amounts is uncertain, the balance has been
                            fully reserved and is included in general and
                            administrative expense for the year ended September
                            30, 1993.

10.    Litigation           Mr. Wiegert has asserted various claims against
       (Continued)          the Company, including claims for unpaid rent
                            on the Company's former principal facility,
                            which was leased by the Company from Mr.
                            Wiegert, and for eviction of the Company from the
                            facility; breach of employment agreement; and for
                            the return of business assets which Mr. Wiegert
                            alleges are owned by him rather than the Company.
                            The Company intends to contest those matters
                            vigorously and in the opinion of management, the
                            ultimate outcome will not have a material impact on
                            the Company's financial condition. Mr. Wiegert also
                            alleges that the Company has failed to pay
                            principal and accrued interest under two promissory
                            notes allegedly payable by the Company to Vector
                            Car, a partnership controlled by Mr. Wiegert. At
                            December 31, 1995, the Company had recorded amounts
                            due relating to the promissory notes mentioned
                            above totalling $178,200 plus accrued interest of
                            $70,324 (see Note 5). This claim is being disputed
                            by the Company.

                            In connection with the settlement of a dispute
                            resulting from the sale of a Vector W8 for $367,360
                            in 1993, the Company was obligated to pay to the
                            buyer $410,000. The sale and related cost of sale
                            were reversed in 1993, and a liability for the
                            obligation was recorded. During fiscal 1994, the
                            Company paid the $410,000, and the Vector W8 was
                            returned to the Company. Included in other expense
                            for 1993 is $42,640 representing the difference
                            between the amount received by the Company and the
                            Company's obligation of $410,000.

                            In March 1992, an individual filed a complaint
                            in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The
                            complaint set forth five claims for relief, only
                            one of which was directed against the Company for
                            breach of contract. The complaint was based upon
                            bills submitted by this individual for services
                            rendered to Mr. Wiegert. The claim for relief
                            alleged that the Company received the benefits of
                            the alleged agreement. The action was tried in
                            December 1993, and in April 1994, the individual
                            was awarded a judgment of $171,420 plus interest
                            from July 9, 1990. The Company filed an appeal and
                            posted an appeal bond of $357,000. During 1995, the
                            Company reached a settlement related to this action
                            in the total amount of $125,000 which was recorded
                            in 1994. The related court bond was returned to the
                            Company, net of the settlement amount in 1995.

10.    Litigation           In June 1994, an individual and a company (the
       (Continued)          "Plaintiffs") filed a complaint against the 
                            Company in the Los Angeles County Superior
                            Court.  The complaint set forth six claims for
                            breach of contract, fraud, negligent
                            misrepresentation, breach of implied covenant of
                            good faith and fair dealing, restitution and
                            quantum merit. The complaint alleged that the
                            Plaintiffs performed services with respect to a
                            public offering and that under the terms of a
                            finder's agreement, the Plaintiffs were entitled to
                            compensation for services allegedly rendered in
                            connection with the public offering. The Plaintiffs
                            were seeking special damages of $155,000 plus
                            interest from August 19, 1991 and general damages
                            in the sum of $500,000 plus interest from August
                            19, 1991. During 1995, the Company reached a
                            settlement related to this action in the total
                            amount of $100,000.

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

                            Legal fees totaled $546,101, $67,779, $772,994
                            and $256,013 for the year ended December 31, 1995,
                            the three months ended December 31, 1994 and the
                            fiscal years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993,
                            respectively.

11.    Leases and           Leases
       Related-Party
       Transactions         The Company accepted assignment as lessee 
                            of a lease with the former President of the
                            Company for operating facilities in the amount of
                            $6,000 per month. The lease expired in October 1992
                            and continued on a month-to-month basis through
                            August 1994 (see Note 10). In August 1994, the
                            Company relocated operations to Florida. Current
                            operating facilities consist of office space in
                            Jacksonville, Florida which is leased from a
                            related company on a month-to-month basis for
                            $7,176 per month. Rental expense incurred under
                            related party leasing arrangements totaled $93,546,
                            $35,145, $89,799 and $131,547 for the year ended
                            December 31, 1995, three months ended December 31,
                            1994 and fiscal years ended September 30, 1994 and
                            1993, respectively. The Company also leases space
                            for its manufacturing facility in Green Cove
                            Springs, Florida under a month-to- month lease at a
                            cost of $5,183 per month.

12.    Commitments          Engine Development and Purchase Agreement

                            In November 1994, the Company and Automobili
                            Lamborghini, S.p.A. ("Lamborghini") entered into an
                            agreement whereby Lamborghini and the Company's
                            engineers would co-develop an engine for the M12
                            vehicle that Lamborghini would sell to the Company
                            in exchange for certain consideration during 1995.
                            In addition, the Company shall pay to Lamborghini
                            the cost of the Company's tooling used to
                            manufacture the engine. Upon successful development
                            of the engine suitable for installation and
                            operation, the Company also agreed to purchase a
                            minimum number of engines through 1997 for a
                            predetermined price (subject to increases in cost
                            of production). The Company may, upon prior written
                            notice to Lamborghini, terminate the agreement at
                            any time.

12.    Commitments          Consulting Agreements 
       (Continued)          
                            In October 1995, the Company entered into an
                            agreement with a consulting firm to perform certain
                            services for the Company for one year in exchange
                            for i) $30,000 in cash, ii) 640,000 shares of
                            Company common stock to be issued as services are
                            rendered (290,000 of which were issued in 1995 and
                            350,000 of which are issuable in April 1996) and
                            iii) options to purchase 500,000 shares of common
                            stock at prices ranging from $.50 to $1.75 per
                            share. Of the options issued under the agreement,
                            300,000 expire October 1996 and 200,000 expire
                            October 1997. The fair market value of the common
                            stock issued in 1995 was recorded as consulting
                            expense during the year ended December 31, 1995.

                            The Company paid $150,000 to a related company
                            for consulting services performed during 1995.

13.    Fourth               The Company determined in the fourth quarter 
       Quarter              of 1995 that certain internally     
       Adjustment           developed tooling had no future utility.
                            Accordingly, the Company wrote off 
                            tooling of $394,284, net of accumulated
                            depreciation.

14.    New                  The Company is required to adopt the provisions 
       Accounting           of Statement of Financing Accounting Standards
       Standards            No. 121, ("SFAS No. 121"), Accounting for the 
                            Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for     
                            Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of during its
                            fiscal year ending December 31, 1996. SFAS No. 121
                            requires the recognition and measurement of
                            impairment to long-lived assets and certain
                            identifiable intangible assets whenever events or
                            changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
                            amount of those assets may not be recoverable. The
                            effect of the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 121
                            has not yet been determined.

                            The Company is also required to adopt the
                            provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
                            Standards No. 123, ("SFAS No. 123"), Accounting for
                            Stock Based Compensation during its fiscal year
                            ending December 31, 1996. SFAS No. 123, among other
                            things, requires certain added disclosures
                            regarding the fair value of equity instruments,
                            such as stock options, issued by the Company. In
                            addition, SFAS No. 123 encourages the recognition
                            of expense for the fair value of equity instruments
                            issued by the Company.

                            The Company has not yet determined whether the
                            optional expense recognition provisions of SFAS No.
                            123 will be adopted, and therefore, the effects of
                            adopting SFAS No. 123 have not been determined.
