                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                 For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000


NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been prepared from the
records of the Company  without audit and have been prepared in accordance  with
generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial  information and
with  the   instructions  to  Form  10-Q  and  Article  10  of  Regulation  S-X.
Accordingly,  they do not  contain  all the  information  and notes  required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial  statements.  In
the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of normal  recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position
at June 30, 2001 and the interim  results of  operations  and cash flows for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001 have been  included.  The balance sheet
at December 31,  2000,  presented  herein,  has been  prepared  from the audited
financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year then ended.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting  principles  requires the Company to make  estimates and  assumptions
affecting the reported  amounts of assets,  liabilities,  revenues and expenses,
and the disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities.  The December 31, 2000
and June 30, 2001  inventories  are reported at market value.  Inventories  have
been  valued on the basis  that they  would be used,  converted  and sold in the
normal course of business.  Warranty  reserves and certain accrual  expenses are
based upon an  analysis  of future  costs  expected  to be  incurred  in meeting
contracted  obligations.  The amounts  estimated  for the above,  in addition to
other estimates not  specifically  addressed,  could differ from actual results;
and the difference could have a significant impact on the financial statements.

Accounting  policies  followed  by the Company  are  described  in Note 1 to the
audited  financial  statements  for the fiscal  year ended  December  31,  2000.
Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been condensed or omitted for purposes of the interim financial statements.
The  financial  statements  should  be  read in  conjunction  with  the  audited
financial  statements,  including the notes thereto, for the year ended December
31, 2000,  which are included in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report  Pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The loss per common  share is based on the  weighted  average  of common  shares
outstanding.  Potential  anti-dilution  exists in earnings per share for the six
months  ended  June  30,  2001  if  common  stock  equivalents,   consisting  of
unexercised  stock options and warrants,  were included in the calculation.  The
resulting  anti-dilution in the net loss per share, when compared to the loss of
$0.01 currently  reflected in the financial  statements for the six months ended
June 30, 2001, would be insignificant and, therefore, has not been calculated.

The  results  of  operations  for the three and six months  ended June 30,  2001
presented  herein are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

The Company's  fiscal year ends December 31. All year references refer to fiscal
years.

Enova  Systems  believes it is a leader in the  development  and  production  of
commercial digital power management  systems.  The Company's business activities
focus on the  development  of electric  and hybrid  electric  drive  systems and
related  components,  fuel cell power  management  systems  for both  mobile and
stationary power  applications,  vehicle systems integration and the performance
of various engineering contracts for government and commercial enterprises.

The Company is now building,  under  contract with global vehicle and technology
companies, efficient, robust, cost effective digital power processing and energy
management  enabling  technologies  for electric,  hybrid electric and fuel cell
powered vehicles.  These power management  technologies are now being applied to
commercialization  of fuel cell power  generation for stationary  non-automotive
applications.

The Company's  development  and production  program with Ecostar  Electric Drive
Systems,  a joint venture of Ford,  Daimler  Chrysler and Ballard Power, for low
voltage electric drive system  components for use in Ford's Global Th!nk City is
progressing as planned.  Ecostar has announced  that an all electric  vehicle is
scheduled  to be  introduced  in the 2nd  quarter  of 2002 for  markets in North
America.  Enova is designing and  manufacturing  the  electronics  for the drive
system as well as certain auxiliary components.  The final prototype systems are
currently  undergoing  pre-production  testing and  validation in the Ford Th!nk
vehicle. Enova plans to provide production systems for Ecostar in early 2002.

Enova  continues to expand its alliances  with  Hyundai,  Ford,  other  Original
Equipment  Manufacturers  or  OEMs  and  Tier-One  suppliers  for  sales  of its
automotive  products.  The Company  offers its modular drive systems to OEMs and
other  customers.  These drive systems have been installed in various  passenger
vehicles and buses operating in North America, Europe and Asia.


                                       9



Enova has  successfully  integrated its newest hybrid  electric  PantherTM 120kW
drive system  (utilizing  the Capstone  Microturbine  as its power  source) with
Wrights Environment, a division of Wrights Bus, one of the largest low-floor bus
manufacturers in the United Kingdom.  This is the initial delivery to Wrights as
part of the Company's  agreement to manufacture  and integrate pure electric and
hybrid  electric drive systems into Wrights' low floor,  mid-size buses for sale
in the  United  Kingdom  and the  European  Continent.  Enova  has  additionally
delivered  a  pure  electric   PantherTM  120kW  drive  system  to  Wrights  for
integration into their Crusader II bus.

Enova has also  delivered  two of its 120 kW hybrid  drive  systems to Eco Power
Technology  (EPT) in Italy  along  with its 40kW  Fast  Charger  system.  EPT is
currently  evaluating these systems and intends to purchase  additional  systems
during the 3rd and 4th  quarter of 2001.  EPT is an  integrator  of medium  size
transit buses for the European  shuttle bus market with key contacts in Rome and
Genoa.

The  Company's  stationary  power  programs  continue to attract  new  potential
partners  and  customers  from  both  fuel  cell   manufacturers  and  petroleum
companies.  It is the  Company's  belief  that  utilizing  its power  management
systems  for  stationary  applications  for fuel cells will open new markets for
Enova.   Enova   is   developing   applications   for   its   products   in  the
telecommunications  and distributed  generation markets. The Company discussions
are progressing  well and we anticipate an initial  development  contract within
six months.

The Company continues to attract new development and integration  contracts with
the U. S.  Government's  Department of  Transportation,  or DOT. Enova,  Hyundai
Motor  Company and the State of Hawaii  introduced  15 Hyundai Santa Fe electric
vehicles in Honolulu  Hawaii for test and  evaluation  prior to their entry into
the U.S.  markets.  The program will utilize  Hawaii's rapid charging  stations,
manufactured by AeroVironment, now being installed. Governor Cayetano of Hawaii.
Hyundai Motor Company  management and various other state and local  dignitaries
were on hand for the dedication ceremonies in July, 2001.

Additionally,  the Company is integrating, in conjunction with DOT and the State
of  Hawaii,  its drive  systems  into  several  vehicles.  Enova  completed  the
manufacture  and  integration  of a PantherTM  120kW  drive  system into an Enoa
trolley for evaluation in the Hawaii tourist  market.  Enoa is a major player in
the Hawaii tourist  industry  providing  scenic  transportation  services to the
islands.  Enova will also be upgrading  eight Chevrolet S-10 trucks owned by the
City of Honolulu to its PantherTM  60kW drive system  including its Battery Care
Unit  (BCU-II) to  incorporate  fast-charge  capability  for Hawaii.  Also,  the
Company is  converting an Eldorado  30-foot bus  utilizing  its PantherTM  120kW
drive  system for the Hickam Air Force base in  Honolulu,  Hawaii.  All of these
programs are funded in conjunction with the Hawaii Electric Vehicle  Development
Project, the U.S. Department of Transportation and State of Hawaii.

The Company's contract with the U.S.  Department of Transportation to design and
test a  three-car  tram  utilizing  the Panther  120kW  drive  system is nearing
completion. This tram, capable of carrying 100 passengers, is to be delivered in
the  third  quarter  of  2001 to the  Honolulu,  Hawaii  Airport  for  test  and
evaluation.  The Company  intends to market  this tram  system to  international
markets for application to other airports,  national and recreational  parks and
other high capacity transit applications.

The  development of Enova's 240kW drive system  continues to progress.  Enova is
working in conjunction  with other leading edge motor and gear  manufacturers to
develop a truly  robust,  efficient  and powerful  drive  system for  heavy-duty
applications including transit buses,  heavy-duty trucks and other applications.
The  Company  is  continually  creating  new  alliances  in  these  markets  for
introduction in early 2002.

The Company has had significant  technology  advances with Hyundai Motor Company
of Korea,  or HMC, the world's  seventh largest  automobile  manufacturer,  with
engineering  contracts to design,  develop and test electric and hybrid electric
drive systems and related products.  The


                                       10



Company,  having successfully  completed it hybrid drive system and fuel cell EV
program,  is working with HMC to earn the production contract for their upcoming
parallel  hybrid  drive  system  program.  Furthermore,  HMC has  produced  four
additional  fuel cell SUV's for test and evaluation  utilizing  Enova's  Panther
90kW drive systems.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Company  has  experienced  cash  flow  shortages  due to  operating  losses
primarily  attributable  to  research,  development,  marketing  and other costs
associated  with  the  Company's  strategic  plan  to  become  an  international
manufacturer and supplier of electric  propulsion and power  management  systems
and components.  Cash flows from operations have not been sufficient to meet the
Company's  obligations  as they came due. The Company has therefore had to raise
funds  through  numerous  financial  transactions.  At least  until the  Company
reaches  breakeven  volume in sales and develops  and/or acquires the capability
and technology  necessary to manufacture  and sell its products  profitably,  it
will need to  continue  to rely on cash from  external  financing.  The  Company
anticipates that it will require  additional  outside financing for at least the
next twelve months.

During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company spent  $1,155,000 in cash
on  operating  activities  to fund the net  loss of  $1,057,000  resulting  from
factors  explained in the  following  section of this  discussion  and analysis.
Accounts  receivable  decreased  by  $116,000  primarily  due to the  payment of
outstanding  receivables  from  Ecostar.  Inventory  increased by $460,000  from
December  31, 2000 as the Company  prepared  for  delivery of power  electronics
components to Ecostar, EPT and Ford in the third and fourth quarters of 2001.

Accrued  expenses  were reduced by $57,000 due to  recapture of certain  accrued
expenses  and payments of the same.  The  operations  of the Company  during the
first two quarters of fiscal 2001 were financed  primarily by the funds received
on  engineering  contracts and sales of drive system  components as well as cash
reserves  provided by prior equity  financings.  During May 2001, Jagen Pty, Ltd
invested an  additional  $2,500,000  for the exercise of warrants to purchase of
41,666,666  shares  of  common  stock.  In July  2001,  Anthony  Rawlinson  also
exercised warrants to purchase 8,333,334 shares of common stock for $500,000.

It is management's intention to continue its debt restructuring, support current
operations through sales of products and technology consulting,  as well as seek
additional  financing  through  private  placements  and other means to increase
research  and  development.  As of  July  31,  2001,  the  Company  has no  firm
commitments for additional financing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three months ending June 30, 2001 decreased  $347,000 from the
previous quarter, and net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased
$713,000  in the first six months as  compared  to the  corresponding  period of
2000. The decrease from the previous  quarter was due to the Company  completing
its Ecostar  development prior to April 2001 and billing the majority of such in
the first  quarter.  Development  contracts  with Ford  Motor  Company,  Ecostar
Electric  Drive  Systems and the U.S.  Government  account for almost all of the
Company's sales for 2001.

Cost of sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 increased to $505,000  compared
to cost of sales  of  $430,000  for the same  three-month  period  in 2000.  The
increase  corresponds  to increased  sales over the similar  period in 2000. The
gross  profit  margin  increased  due to the  nature of the sales in the  second
quarter  which were  primarily  engineering  development  for Ford Th!nk and DOT
programs.


                                       11



Research and  development  expense  increased  in the second  quarter of 2001 to
$239,000 as compared with $110,000 in the second quarter of 2000.  Enova further
developed its 240kW drive  system,  the Fuel Cell Care Unit and other mobile and
stationary power management applications.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expense increased  $229,000 for the three
months  ended June 30, 2001 from the  previous  year's  comparable  period.  The
Company  believes a majority of this increase is temporary due to new regulatory
requirements  and legal fees as well as increased  salaries and new hires during
the year.

The Company  incurred a net loss from  continuing  operations of $811,000 in the
second  quarter of 2001 compared to a net loss of $431,000 in the second quarter
of 2000.  Again, the majority of the difference being  attributable to increased
professional fees, salaries and R&D.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

This Form 10-Q contains forward looking  statements  concerning our existing and
future products, markets, expenses,  revenues,  liquidity,  performance and cash
needs as well as our  plans and  strategies.  These  forward-looking  statements
involve  risks  and  uncertainties   and  are  based  on  current   management's
expectations and we are not obligated to update this  information.  Many factors
could cause actual results and events to differ  significantly  from the results
anticipated by us and described in these forward looking  statements  including,
but not limited to, the following risk factors.

Net  Operating  Losses.  The  Company  has  experienced  recurring  losses  from
operations and had an accumulated deficit of $87,922,000 at June 30, 2001. There
is no assurance, however, that any net operating losses will be available to the
Company  in the  future as an offset  against  future  profits  for  income  tax
purposes.


                                       12



Continued  Losses.  For the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company
had net losses of $1,057,000  and $569,000  respectively  on sales of $1,887,000
and $1,174,000, respectively.

Nature of Industry.  The electric  vehicle ("EV") and Hybrid EV ("HEV") industry
continues to be subject to rapid technological  change. There are many large and
small companies, both domestic and foreign, now in, poised to enter, or entering
this industry. Most of the major domestic and foreign automobile  manufacturers:
(1) have  produced  electric  and hybrid  vehicles,  and/or  (2) have  developed
improved  electric storage,  propulsion and control systems,  and/or (3) are now
entering or have entered into production.  Various non-automotive  companies are
also  developing  improved  electric  storage,  propulsion and control  systems.
Growth of the present  limited  demand for electric  vehicles  depends upon: (a)
future  regulation  and  legislation  requiring  more  use of  non-polluting  or
low-emission vehicles, (b) the environmental consciousness of customers, and (c)
the ability of electric and  hybrid-electric  vehicles to  successfully  compete
with vehicles powered with internal combustion engines on price and performance.

Changed  Legislative  Climate.  Because vehicles powered by internal  combustion
engines cause pollution,  there has been  significant  public pressure in Europe
and Asia, and enacted or pending legislation in the United States at the federal
level and in certain  states,  to promote or mandate the use of vehicles with no
tailpipe  emissions  ("zero emission  vehicles") or reduced  tailpipe  emissions
("low  emission  vehicles").  Legislation  requiring  or  promoting  zero or low
emission  vehicles is  necessary  to create a  significant  market for  electric
vehicles.  The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has recently  confirmed its
mandatory  limits for zero emission and low emission  vehicles.  There can be no
assurance,  however,  that further  legislation  will be enacted or that current
legislation  or  state  mandates  will not be  repealed  or  amended,  or that a
different  form of zero  emission or low emission  vehicle will not be invented,
developed and produced,  and achieve  greater  market  acceptance  than electric
vehicles.  Extensions,  modifications or reductions of current federal and state
legislation,  mandates and potential tax incentives  could adversely  affect the
Company's business prospects if implemented.
