NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.     Financial Statements

       The financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of
management,  these statements include all adjustments consisting of only normal,
recurring  adjustments  necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of  the  financial
position of MotivePower  Industries,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  (the "Company") at
March 31, 1997 and the results of their  operations and their cash flows for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. These consolidated  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements  and notes  thereto for the year ended  December 31, 1996 included on
Form 10-K.  The results of operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

       Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 financial statements
to conform to the 1997 presentation.

       In February  1997  Statement  of  Financial  Accounts  Standards  No. 128
"Earnings  Per  Share"  ("SFAS  128")  was  issued.  SFAS 128 is  effective  for
financial  statements  issued  for  periods  ending  after  December  15,  1997,
including  interim periods;  earlier adoption is not permitted.  The adoption of
SFAS 128 is not expected to  materially  effect the  Company's  calculations  of
earnings per share, and will have no impact on the Company's  financial position
or results of operations.

2.     Inventories

       Approximately  $31 million and $34 million of total  inventories at March
31,  1997 and  December  31,  1996,  respectively,  were valued on the LIFO cost
method. The excess current replacement cost of these inventories over the stated
LIFO value was  $947,000  and  $902,000 at March 31, 1997 and December 31, l996,
respectively.  Two of the Company's domestic subsidiaries value inventory on the
LIFO basis.

3.     Indebtedness

       On February 27, 1997,  the Company and a syndicate of lenders led by Bank
of America NT and SA entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
to replace the Company's  Restated  Agreement with Bank America Business Credit.
The facility  consists of a $20 million  amortizing  term loan and a $55 million
revolving credit line including a $15 million letter of credit sub-facility. The
entire $75 million facility is for a term of four years and is collateralized by
substantially  all of the domestic assets of the Company.  Interest rate spreads
charged  under the new facility  will reset at the end of each quarter  based on
the ratio of the Company's  quarter-ending  debt to trailing 12-month cash flow.
Both base rate and LIBOR borrowings are available,  at the Company's discretion.
Interest  rates range from LIBOR plus 0.50% to LIBOR plus 2.0%, and base rate to
base rate plus 1.0%.  For the first six months of the facility,  interest  rates
may not go below LIBOR plus 1.0% for LIBOR-based  borrowings,  and the base rate
for base rate borrowings.

4.     Commitments and Contingencies

       The Company has  commitments  and  performance  guarantees  arising  from
locomotive  remanufacturing contracts and maintenance agreements, and warranties
from the sale of new  locomotives,  remanufactured  locomotives  and  locomotive
components.

Environmental:  The  Company  is subject  to a RCRA Part B Closure  Permit  (the
"Permit") issued by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Idaho Department
of Health  and  Welfare,  Division  of  Environmental  Quality  relating  to the
monitoring and treatment of groundwater  contamination  on, and adjacent to, the
Company's Boise Locomotive facility.  In compliance with the Permit, the Company
has drilled  wells onsite to retrieve and treat  contaminated  groundwater,  and
onsite and offsite to monitor the amount of hazardous constituents.  The Company
has estimated the expected aggregate  undiscounted costs to be incurred over the
next 24 years, adjusted for inflation at 3% per annum, to be $4.8 million, based
on the  Permit's  Corrective  Action  Plan,  and  $4.4  million  for  contingent
additional  Permit  compliance  requirements  related  to  off-site  groundwater
contamination. The discounted liability at March 31, 1997, using a discount rate
of 6.5%, was $2.1 million based on the Permit's  Corrective  Action Plan, and $2
million for contingent  additional  Permit  compliance  requirements  related to
offsite  groundwater  contamination.  The estimated outlays for each of the five
succeeding years from 1997 to 2001 are: $253,000,  $260,000, $268,000, $317,000,
and $284,000. The Company was in compliance with the Permit at December 31, 1996
and March 31, 1997.

Legal Proceedings:  In December 1995, Morrison Knudsen,  the Company and certain
of Morrison  Knudsen's  directors  and officers  were named as  defendants  in a
complaint (the  "Pilarczyk  Lawsuit")  filed in the United States District Court
for the  Northern  District of New York by  plaintiffs  who were  principals  in
and/or held  substantial  stock in TMS,  Inc.  ("TMS"),  a New York  corporation
acquired by Morrison Knudsen on December 30, 1992. The complaint alleges,  among
other things,  violations of Section 10(b),  Rule 10b-5 and Section 20(a) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  breach  of  contract,  unjust  enrichment,
negligent  misrepresentation  and common  law fraud  during  Morrison  Knudsen's
acquisition of TMS in 1992.  Plaintiffs  assert that the Company,  which was not
formed by Morrison  Knudsen  until 1993,  is fully  responsible  for the acts of
Morrison Knudsen. However, the actions complained of occurred before the Company
was formed and the Company did not assume such liabilities of Morrison  Knudsen.
A motion to  dismiss,  filed in April  1996 on behalf of all  defendants  to the
Pilarczyk Lawsuit, is still pending.  Counsel to the Company believes the causes
of action in the Pilarczyk Lawsuit relating to the Company are without merit and
the Company expects that it will be successful on this motion,  even if the suit
is not dismissed as to all defendants. If the Company is successful, the Company
intends  to make  appropriate  requests  to the  court  to seek to  require  the
plaintiff to pay the Company's legal fees and costs.


                                        7





       In June 1995,  the Company was named as  defendant  in a complaint  filed
with the Idaho Human Rights  Commission (the "Idaho  Commission")  and the Equal
Employment  Opportunity Commission by a female employee on behalf of herself and
other women employed by the Company alleging  discrimination based on sex, which
complaint was amended in December  1995 to include  allegations  of  retaliatory
discharge.  In 1996,  the Idaho  Commission  announced that it found no probable
cause to believe either  discrimination or retaliatory discharge had occurred as
alleged in the complaint and, accordingly, the proceeding was dismissed.

       The Company is engaged in a commercial  dispute  with a former  supplier,
Samyoung Machinery  Industrial Co and Samyoung  (America),  Inc.  (collectively,
"Samyoung").  The  Company  filed suit on April 16,  1996  alleging  delivery of
defective  product and seeking damages in excess of $1 million.  Samyoung denies
that the product was defective and  countersued  to recover  $300,000  under the
contract,  and $10  million for trade libel and  interference  with  prospective
economic  relationships  as a  result  of the  Company  allegedly  making  false
disparaging   statements   concerning  the  diesel  engine  assembly  liners  to
customers.  The Company believes that Samyoung's  claims are without merit, and,
to date,  no  evidence  supporting  Samyoung's  counterclaims  has come to light
through the discovery  being  conducted by the parties.  The Company  intends to
vigorously prosecute its own claims and defend against Samyoung's counterclaims.

       In the ordinary course of its business,  the Company is involved in legal
proceedings  incident to the normal conduct of its business,  including contract
claims and employee matters.

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

       GENERAL

       The Company manufactures and distributes engineered locomotive components
and  parts;   provides   locomotive   fleet   maintenance   and   overhauls  and
remanufactures locomotives;  and manufactures environmentally friendly switcher,
commuter and mid-range DC traction,  diesel  electric and liquefied  natural gas
locomotives up to 4000 horsepower.

       The Company  recorded net income of $3.5 million,  or 20 cents per share,
on sales of $70 million in the first  quarter of 1997  compared to net income of
$2.6  million,  or 15 cents  per  share,  on sales of $70  million  in the first
quarter of 1996.  The increase in profits is attributed to higher margins in the
operating   groups  due  to  continuing   cost   reductions   and   productivity
improvements,  a  favorable  product  mix,  and  substantially  lower  corporate
interest expense due to significant debt reduction and lower financing costs.

       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       Consolidated Operations
       Net sales for the first quarter of 1997 were $70 million, the same as the
first quarter of 1996. Excluding sales from divested operations, sales increased
9% in the first  quarter  of 1997.  The  increase  in net  sales,  exclusive  of
divested  operations,  is the result of an increase in  locomotive  overhauls at
Boise  Locomotive,  and an increase  in  international  sales in the  Components
Group.

       Cost of sales as a percentage  of sales was 77% for the first  quarter of
1997  compared to 80% for the first  quarter of 1996,  resulting in gross profit
margins of 23% and 20%, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin is the
result of  continuing  cost  reductions  and  productivity  improvements  in the
operating groups, and a favorable product mix.

       General  and  administrative  expenses  for  the  first  quarter  of 1997
increased 7% to $8.8 million from $8.2 million in the first quarter of 1996. The
increase is primarily  attributed  to $1.2 million of expenses  related to stock
appreciation  rights and the  repricing  of  certain  stock  options  during the
quarter.  This increase was partially offset by overhead  reductions at both the
corporate   and  operating   levels.   Future  costs  related  to  capped  stock
appreciation  rights and stock options will approximate  $500,000 per quarter in
1997.

       Interest  income for the first  quarter  of 1997  decreased  $393,000  to
$189,000  compared to the first quarter of 1996. The decrease is attributed to a
decrease in funds invested by MK Gain.

       Interest  expense for the first quarter of 1997 decreased $1.7 million to
$1.3 million  compared to the first quarter of 1996.  The decrease is attributed
to the buy back of the Morrison  Knudsen  debt,  a decrease in debt  outstanding
under the Company's  domestic  credit  facility,  and a decrease in the interest
rate  charged on  domestic  borrowings.  The Company  entered  into a new credit
facility in February  1997 which  allowed for  decreases in effective  borrowing
rates, and additional availability of funds.

       Other  expense  for the first  quarter of 1997 was  $39,000,  compared to
other  income of  $663,000  in the first  quarter of 1996.  The  expense in 1997
related to miscellaneous expenses associated with investments in Argentina.  The
income in 1996 related to funds received from the restructuring of the Company's
investments in Argentina.


                                        9





       A foreign  exchange loss of $115,000 was realized in the first quarter of
1997 compared to a foreign exchange gain of $18,000 in the first quarter of 1996
as a result of fluctuations in the valuation of the Mexican peso.

       Income  tax  expense  for the  first  quarter  of 1997 was  $2.3  million
compared to $1.2  million  for the first  quarter of 1996.  The  increase in the
expense between periods is a result of the increase in pre-tax income.

       Components Group
       For the first quarter of 1997, the Components  Group's net sales were $42
million, the same as the first quarter of 1996. Exclusive of sales from divested
operations,  net sales increased $3 million,  or 7%, in the the first quarter of
1997 compared to the same quarter in 1996. This increase is primarily attributed
to an increase in  international  sales,  with the largest  increase coming from
Motor Coils.

       For the first quarter of 1997, the Components  Group's  operating  income
increased  22% to $7.6  million  compared  to the  first  quarter  of 1996.  The
increase is the result of gross profit  improvements  at all entities  resulting
from a favorable product mix, cost reductions and productivity improvements.

       Locomotive Group
       For the first quarter of 1997, the Locomotive Group's net sales increased
1% to $28 million compared to the first quarter of 1996. Exclusive of sales from
divested  operations,  net sales  increased  $3  million,  or 12%,  in the first
quarter of 1997 compared to the same quarter in 1996. This increase is primarily
attributed to increase sales at Boise  Locomotive  resulting from an increase in
locomotive overhauls.

       For the first quarter of 1997, the Locomotive  Group's  operating  income
increased  41% to $3.3  million  compared  to the  first  quarter  of 1996.  The
increase  is  primarily  attributed  to  improved  operating  results  at  Boise
Locomotive, resulting from cost reductions and productivity improvements.

       FINANCIAL CONDITION

       In February 1997,  the Company  entered into a restated  domestic  credit
agreement  which provides $20 million of term loan  borrowings and a $55 million
revolving credit line. In addition to providing  increased  borrowing  capacity,
the credit agreement also provides for a reduction in interest rates as compared
to the Company's previous domestic credit facility.

       With the revised domestic credit  agreement and the Company's  profitable
operating results, management believes that its financing is adequate to support
its normal  operations  and  capital  spending  requirements.  This is a forward
looking  statement,  factors such as a decrease in rail traffic,  a reduction in
railroads'  capital  and  maintenance   spending  plans  with  regard  to  their
locomotive  fleets,  or the  Company's  inability to retain  existing  contracts
and/or  obtain new contract  awards are among the factors which could affect the
Company's financing needs.

       The following table summarizes the net changes in cash flows:

       Net cash  provided by operating  activities  totaled $1.7 million for the
first  quarter of 1997  compared to $7.4 million for the first  quarter of 1996.
The net cash  provided by  operations  was primarily the result of the Company's
net income of $3.5 million, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses
of $3.4 million,  an increase in advances from customers of $2.8 million,  and a
decrease in inventories of $2 million.  Offsetting these amounts was an increase
in accounts  receivable of $13.6 million of which  approximately  $6 million was
collected  shortly  after  the  close  of the  quarter.  In  addition,  accounts
receivable  at Motor Coils  increased  $3 million  primarily  as a result of its
increased sales volume.  Depreciation and amortization  totaled $2.3 million for
the first quarter of 1997.

       Net cash used in investing  activities totaled $1.5 million for the first
quarter of 1997 compared to $307,000 for the first quarter of 1996. The majority
of the investing activity relates to additions to property, plant and equipment.
The Company  expects  additions to property,  plant and  equipment in 1997 to be
significantly  greater  than in 1996 as a result  of the  construction  of a new
facility at Touchstone, and contractual obligations for fixed asset additions at
MK Gain.  Actual  capital  expenditures  could  vary  based on  availability  of
capital,  interest  rate  increases,  site  availability  and  changes in market
conditions.

       Net cash used in financing  activities totaled $1.8 million for the first
quarter of 1997 compared to $6.2 million for the first quarter of 1996. The 1997
financing  activities  include  a $1  million  increase  in  intangible  assets,
principally  bank fees paid in  connection  with the closing of the new domestic
credit facility, and $747,000 of net repayments of debt.
