ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On November 18, 1998, MotivePower Industries, Inc. (the Company)
announced the acquisition, through MotivePower Investments Limited, of Young
Radiator Company (Young), a privately held manufacturer of heat transfer
products, for $79.3 million in cash, which considers the Company acquiring cash
and investments of approximately $11.0 million. The Company acquired 100% of the
common stock of Young. The acquisition agreement was negotiated between the
Company and Fred Young, the owner of the majority of the Young shares issued and
outstanding. The Company plans to file an IRC Section 338(h)(10) election. The
Company utilized borrowing capacity under its domestic revolver to fund the
acquisition.

         Founded in 1927, Young is a leading manufacturer of radiators, air
coolers and heat exchange systems for rail and industrial power-related markets.
Young's products are used in locomotives, construction and mining vehicles,
diesel and gas engines, military vehicles, stationary generator sets and
industrial, off-the-road equipment. Young recorded net sales of $48.2 million
for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 with assets of $35.4 million and
stockholders' equity of $28.9 million. Young has approximately 440 employees.

         Young's assets included owned real property, machinery, and office
equipment located in Racine, WI (approximately 235,000 square feet), Lexington,
TN (approximately 180,000 square feet) and Centerville, IA (approximately
110,000 square feet). Young utilized such assets in the manufacturing and sale
of its product offerings. It is the Company's current intention that the
acquired assets will continue in that same use while the Company seeks synergies
with its other operations. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase
in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, "Business
Combinations."

                             YOUNG RADIATOR COMPANY


                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1997


(1)      Summary of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies-

         (a)      Description of the business-

                  Young Radiator Company (the "Company") is a privately held
                  company with a general office located in Racine, Wisconsin and
                  operating plants located in Centerville, Iowa and Lexington,
                  Tennessee. The Company manufactures a broad range of
                  radiators, shell and tube heat exchangers, oil coolers and
                  charge air coolers. Customers served include manufacturers in
                  the locomotive, diesel engine, bus, military, off-highway
                  vehicle and equipment markets, as well as customers in the
                  industrial and engine packager markets primarily in North
                  America. The Company grants credit to substantially all of its
                  customers. Approximately 37% of the net sales of the Company
                  were divided between two customers in the locomotive industry
                  in 1997.

         (b)      Inventories-

                  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market,
                  determined on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis. Inventory
                  costs include material, labor and factory overhead.

                  All of the Company's inventories are accounted for using the
                  last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Inventories at December 31,
                  1997, included the following:


                                                                                                    
                  Raw materials                                                                        $ 4,373,964
                  Work-in-process and finished products                                                  3,172,016
                                                                                                       -----------
                  Inventories at FIFO cost                                                               7,545,980
                  LIFO reserve                                                                          (2,088,997)
                                                                                                       -----------
                      Total inventories at LIFO cost                                                   $ 5,456,983
                                                                                                       ===========


         (c)      Property, plant and equipment-

                  Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost.
                  Expenditures for additions, and major renewals and
                  betterments, which extend the life of an asset, are
                  capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as
                  incurred.

         (d)      Depreciation-

                  Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using both
                  straight-line and accelerated methods of depreciation for
                  financial reporting purposes over their useful lives as
                  follows:

                  Buildings                               20 years
                  Machinery and equipment                 5 - 15 years
                  Furniture and fixtures                  5 - 15 years
                  Vehicles                                5 years


   9

         (e)      Use of estimates-

                  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
                  generally accepted accounting principles requires management
                  to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
                  amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
                  assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
                  and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
                  reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
                  estimates.

         (f)      Revenue recognition-

                  Revenue is recognized when inventory is shipped to the
                  customer.

         (g)      Advertising costs-

                  Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are
                  expensed when incurred. Total advertising costs incurred
                  during 1997 were approximately $255,000.

         (h)      Impairment of long-lived assets-

                  The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying amount
                  of long-lived assets currently held when various events or
                  changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be
                  impaired.

         (i)      Earnings per share-

                  Earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted
                  average number of shares outstanding. The Company does not
                  have any dilutive common stock equivalents. Accordingly, basic
                  and diluted earnings per share are the same for the period
                  presented.

         (j)      Other assets-

                  Included in other assets as of December 31, 1997, was $299,593
                  of cash surrender value related to a life insurance policy on
                  the Company's president and majority shareholder. The face
                  amount of this policy is $1 million.

         (k)      Warranty-

                  The Company offers a one-year limited warranty on its
                  products, which begins at the time of sale to a customer. The
                  Company accrues for these warranty costs at the time of sale.

(2)      Marketable Securities Available-for-Sale-

         The Company classifies its investments in marketable securities as
         available-for-sale. As a result, these investments have been recorded
         at December 31, 1997, at fair market value with the net unrealized
         holding gains (losses) excluded from earnings and recorded as a
         separate component of shareholders' investment.

         The cost and fair market value of the Company's investments, which
         primarily consist of corporate bonds and governmental securities, at
         December 31, 1997, by contract maturity, is shown below:




                                                                           Fair Market

         Due in 1 year or less                            $   890,701      $   892,315
         Due after 1 year through 5 years                   4,989,349        5,002,951
         Due after 5 years through 10 years                 3,466,106        3,563,227
         Due after 10 years                                 1,129,280        1,175,667
                                                          -----------      -----------
                                                          $10,475,436      $10,634,160
                                                          ===========      ===========


         Although the investments mature at various times, the Company
         classifies all investments as short-term as they are considered
         available-for-sale. The net unrealized holding gains of $158,724 as of
         December 31, 1997, are reflected as a separate component of
         shareholders' investment.

(3)      Pension Benefits-

         The Young Radiator Company Pension Plan (the "Plan") is a defined
         benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the employees of the
         Company. The benefits under the Plan are based on years of service. The
         Company's funding policy for the Plan is to contribute annually at
         least the minimum required by applicable regulations.

         Net pension (income) expense includes the following components:


                                                                            
         Service cost-benefits attributed to service during the year           $   302,524

         The actuarial assumptions used to determine net pension income during
         1997 and the projected benefit obligation at September 30, 1997 were:

                  Discount rate                                7.0%
                  Expected long-term rate of return            8.5%
                  Expected salary scale                        5.0%

(4)      Postretirement Benefits-

         In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain
         health care and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees
         ("Postretirement Benefits"). The Company follows FASB Statement No. 106
         "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits, Other than
         Pensions" ("SFAS No. 106"), which requires that the expected cost of
         these Postretirement Benefits be charged to expense in the years the
         employees render the services necessary to earn their benefits.

         The components of the Company's net periodic Postretirement Benefit
         expense are as follows:

                                                                                       -------

         The Company does not offer Postretirement Benefits to its current
         employees. The Company also capped future Postretirement Benefits to
         retired employees to a flat defined benefit amount. Therefore, any
         future increases in Postretirement Benefit costs beyond the defined
         established benefit amount will be the responsibility of the retired
         employee.

         The following table sets forth the funded status for the Postretirement
         Benefits at December 31, 1997, based upon actuarial data as of
         September 30, 1997:

         At December 31, 1997, the Company has $189,621, of accrued
         Postretirement Benefits included in current accrued liabilities.

         The discount rate used in determining the accumulated Postretirement
         Benefit obligation was 7.5%. As the Company has defined and capped the
         future Postretirement Benefits, future cost trend rates will not impact
         the cost of the Postretirement Benefits.


   12

         The Company maintains the right to unilaterally modify or eliminate
         such Postretirement Benefits, which, if acted upon, could significantly
         change the liability.

(5)      Bank Lines of Credit-

         At December 31, 1997, the Company had unsecured bank lines of credit
         available totaling $3,500,000, with no outstanding borrowings. During
         1997, the Company did not borrow on these lines of credit. The Company
         is not required to maintain compensating balances on the lines. The
         lines of credit mature in August of 1998 and June of 1998.

(6)      Income Taxes and Stockholder Distributions-

         The Company and its shareholders have elected, for Federal and state
         income tax purposes, to be taxed as an "S" corporation. As an "S"
         corporation, the Company's taxable income or loss is includable in the
         individual tax return of its shareholders for Federal and state income
         tax purposes. The Company intends to make future distributions to its
         shareholders to allow for payment of the future income taxes.

         In the event the "S" corporation election is terminated, a net deferred
         income tax benefit for timing differences between financial statement
         and income tax reporting related to postretirement medical and life
         insurance expenses, pension expense, inventory costs, depreciation and
         other items would be reflected in the Company's financial statements.

(7)      Contingencies-

         The Company has received a notice from the current owners of a prior
         operating plant indicating that the Company is the responsible party
         for the contamination of the prior operating plant site. The current
         owner seeks to recover from the Company the estimated costs of cleaning
         up the alleged contamination. Although management has not completed its
         investigation of this matter, it believes this matter could ultimately
         have an unfavorable impact on the Company's financial position;
         however, the ultimate decision may not be known for some time. The
         Company has accrued, as a component of other accrued long-term
         liabilities, $1,000,000 related to this matter as management's best
         estimate of the ultimate settlement cost. While the estimated accrued
         costs are considered adequate by management, the ultimate net amount
         paid may be greater or less than the amount estimated.

         In addition, the Company is one of several potentially responsible
         parties ("PRPs") in an action in which the Environmental Protection
         Agency ("EPA") seeks to recover the estimated costs of cleaning up a
         landfill alleged to be contaminated by toxic waste materials. The EPA
         sent the Company a "Special Notice" letter requesting reimbursement of
         certain investigation and cleanup costs and also providing an
         opportunity to participate in future remedial action. The letter, which
         identified the Company as 138th of 362 PRPs, alleges the Company has a
         percentage contribution of .05006%. The Company has and continues to
         argue for a lower volumetric percentage. The Company has not accrued a
         liability for this matter.

         The Company believes that the outcome of these proceedings,
         individually and in the aggregate, will not have a materially adverse
         effect on the Company's operations.

   13


(8)      Accounting Pronouncements-

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of
         Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 "Reporting
         Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for the
         reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.
         Comprehensive income is defined as net income and all other
         non-shareholder changes in equity. This pronouncement, which will be
         adopted in 1998, will only impact the Company's financial statement
         disclosures.

         Beginning on January 1, 1998, the Company will be required to adopt
         Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
         Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." Because the
         Company currently accounts for computer software costs in accordance
         with the SOP, it will not have an impact on the Company's financial
         position or results from operations.

                      UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED DATA

         The following unaudited pro forma income statement data for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 have been
prepared based on historical income statements of the Company, as adjusted to
reflect the acquisition of Young Radiator as if it had occurred on January 1,
1997. The pro forma income statement data may not be indicative of the future
results of operations or what the actual results of operations would have been
had the acquisition described above been effective January 1, 1997. The
unaudited pro forma balance sheet has been prepared assuming Young Radiator was
acquired on September 30, 1998.
