NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

STARCRAFT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

January 2, 2005


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Starcraft
Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company")
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and
regulations. Reference is made to the Company's audited consolidated
financial statements set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its
fiscal year ended October 3, 2004.

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (which include only normally
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
statements of the interim periods reported. The results of operations for
the three month period ended January 2, 2005 are not necessarily indicative
of the results which may be expected for the year ending October 2, 2005.

The Company has adopted a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending the last Sunday
nearest to September 30. The results of operations for the quarter ended
January 2, 2005 and December 28, 2003 are for 13 weeks.

Certain amounts in the December 28, 2003 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on total assets, total shareholders' equity
or net income as previously reported.

Note 2. Acquisition

On January 16, 2004, the Company through Wheel to Wheel Acquisition
Company, LLC an Indiana limited liability company and a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (the "Acquisition Subsidiary"), acquired all the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Wheel to Wheel, Inc., a
Michigan corporation ("Wheel to Wheel") in a merger transaction. Wheel to
Wheel had a 50% ownership in each of Tecstar, LLC and Tecstar Manufacturing
Canada Limited (collectively "Tecstar"). Prior to January 16, 2004, the
Company owned 50% of Tecstar and consolidated the accounts due to
management representation on the Tecstar Board of Directors and control of
its affairs. The Company accounted for the Wheel to Wheel 50% ownership as
minority interest. With the acquisition of Wheel to Wheel, Tecstar became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Note 9. Warranty Expense

The Company provides products to Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM")
under warranty terms similar to terms offered by the OEM to its customers,
which are generally 3 years or 36,000 miles. The Company accrues an
estimated liability for potential warranties at the time products are sold,
based on past experience.

Note 10. Merger

On November 23, 2004, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger whereby Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc.
("Quantum") will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of Starcraft Corporation in a tax-free stock-for-stock exchange
valued at approximately $185 million at announcement date, including the
assumption of debt and other consideration. Under the terms of the
definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger, each Starcraft shareholder will
receive 2.341 shares of Quantum common stock for every share of Starcraft
common stock.

The merger agreement was unanimously approved by the Company's Board of
Directors and recommended to the shareholders for approval. Four of
Starcraft's largest shareholders, who collectively represent 51.3% of
Starcraft's issued and outstanding shares of common stock have entered into
a voting agreement with Quantum pursuant to which they have agreed to vote
their Starcraft shares in favor of the merger. General Motors, Quantum's
largest stockholder, owning 14.2% of the issued and outstanding common
shares of Quantum and 11.4% of the voting power of Quantum's common stock,
has entered into a voting agreement with Starcraft agreeing to vote in
favor of the transaction.

The transaction will be submitted to the shareholders of both companies on
February 28, 2005 at separate special meetings of shareholders of each
company for approval. The transaction is also subject to customary closing
conditions, and is expected to close in the first quarter of calendar year
2005.

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

STARCRAFT CORPORATION

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three months ended January 2, 2005
(First Quarter Fiscal Year 2005)
to the three months ended December 28, 2003
(First Quarter Fiscal Year 2004)

Net sales for the quarter ended January 2, 2005 increased $2.5 million to $46.3
million from $43.8 million for the quarter ended December 28, 2003. The
Shreveport facility contributed $4.5 million of sales during the first quarter,
which exceeded prior year first quarter sales by $4.2 million, as this facility
was in a start-up mode in the prior year. H2 and wheel distribution sales were
$7.8 million and exceeded prior year first quarter sales by $2.4 million due
solely to increases in the wheel distribution program. Sales associated with
Wheel to Wheel, which was acquired during the second quarter of fiscal 2004 were
$2.1 million and were all incremental compared to prior year. Our paint facility
in Canada contributed sales of $2.3 million, which exceeded prior year first
quarter sales of $1.3 million. Partially offsetting these favorable variances,
was a decline in sales from our New Jersey facility of $3.8 million, as this
facility was recently shutdown due to the planned expiration of a second stage
program. Sales volume in our Texas facility was $27.2 million during the first
quarter of 2005, which was down slightly compared to prior year first quarter
sales of $28.1 million. Sales at the Canadian facility were $1.9 million
compared to sales during the first quarter of the prior year of $4.3 million.
This facility continues to be affected by lower vehicle sales at the OEM level.

Gross profit was $5.9 million or 12.8% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal
2005 compared to $7.6 million or 17.5% of sales for the 2004 first quarter.
Gross margin dollars and gross margin as a percent of sales declined in the 2005
quarter due to product mix shift from higher margin second stage manufacturing
business to distribution and support company business that carry lower margins.
Second stage gross margin as percent of sales increased to 19.6% in the 2005
quarter compared to 19.1% in 2004. Because second stage revenue declined from
$36.6 million to $29.1 million, gross margin attributable to the second stage
business declined $1.3 million in the 2005 quarter compared to 2004. Gross
margin on H2 and wheel distribution sales increased 26% due to higher sales in
the 2005 quarter. Revenue from businesses acquired in 2004 and support company
businesses was $4.9 million in the 2005 first fiscal quarter, but generated
negative gross margin of ($.9 million).

Selling and promotion expenses were $.6 million during the first quarter of
2005, which approximated prior year levels. General and administrative expenses
also approximated prior year levels at $4.0 million. Expenses associated with
the proposed merger were $.4 million in the current quarter. Currency
transaction gains from our Canadian operations amounted to $.3 million during
the first quarter of fiscal 2005, which was $.2 million higher than prior year.

Interest expense was $.5 million during the first quarter of 2005 compared to
$.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase was due to
higher revolving debt levels, long-term debt assumed in the merger with Wheel to
Wheel, and higher interest rates associated with the unsecured convertible debt
when compared to revolving credit interest rates.

Income tax expense was minimal and relative to low profit levels during the
quarter. The effective tax rate of 46% is due to a lower impact of Canadian
losses on the effective rate when compared to the effective rate on domestic
profits.

Net income prior to merger related expenses and amortization of intangible
assets was $1.1 million.

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

STARCRAFT CORPORATION

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEASONALITY AND TRENDS

The Company's sales and profits are dependent on the automotive markets in the
United States. The business is influenced by a number of factors including OEM
plant shutdowns, model year changeovers, atypical weather for any sales region,
interest rates, gasoline prices, and OEM programs affecting price and supply.
The business is also dependent upon long-term contracts.

The Company provided updates on the status of our OEM programs in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 2004. There has been no
material change in the status of these programs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Funds available from operations and under the Company's revolving credit
agreements were adequate to finance operations and provide for capital
expenditures during the three months ended January 2, 2005. Long-term debt was
$29.7 million at January 2, 2005 compared to $18.9 million at October 3, 2004.
Long-term debt at October 3, 2004 was lower than normal due to a receipt of
payment from our customer on October 1, 2004. Payments are collected the first
week of the accounting period, but due to timing of year end, we received an
additional payment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 that typically would
have been received during the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

Operations utilized $11.2 million of cash during the first quarter of fiscal
2005, compared to $3.8 million in the fiscal 2004 period. Trade receivables at
January 2, 2005 were $8.8 million higher than October 3, 2004 due to the
customer payment timing issue discussed above. Inventory at January 2, 2005 was
$1.1 million higher than October 3, 2004 due to engineering contracts in process
and increased volume at our paint facility. Other receivables and
tooling/engineering development were essentially unchanged at $4.9 million at
January 2, 2005 and $4.8 million at October 3, 2004. Trade payables were $19.4
million at January 2, 2005 compared to $20.9 million at October 3, 2004. Accrued
expenses were $2.6 million at January 2, 2005, down from October 3, 2004 levels
of $3.4 million. This decrease is due mostly to incentive compensation paid in
December and a one week reduction in accrued payroll due to timing of month
ends.

The Company believes that future cash flows from operations and funds available
under its revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to satisfy its
anticipated operating needs and capital and liquidity requirements for 2005. The
Company also believes that its objectives for growth over the next few years can
be accomplished with capital investment levels consistent with prior years, and
that its internal resources and existing or refinanced credit facilities will
provide sufficient liquidity for such purposes.

OF OPERATIONS (continued)

STARCRAFT CORPORATION

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded minimal tax expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2005
due to low profit levels.

MANUFACTURING AND OPERATING TRENDS

The Supply Program in the New Jersey facility has ended and the plant was closed
in December 2004.

The Canadian facility operated at a loss during the first quarter due to a
continued slowdown in sales of this vehicle. A previously announced 2 wheel
drive derivative should improve volume during the second quarter and return the
facility to profitability.

The Canadian paint facility operated a loss during the first quarter.
Improvement in efficiencies, quality and volume is expected during the second
quarter and should improve results.

A previously announced joint venture (AMSTAR) was recently launched in Fort
Wayne, Indiana. Losses, although not significant, will be incurred in the second
quarter due to start-up expenses.

Wheel to Wheel generated losses during fiscal year 2004 due to softness in the
engineering and tooling development side of the business. It is expected that
this trend will continue through the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

OF OPERATIONS (continued)

STARCRAFT CORPORATION

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the course of normal business and in the preparation of its consolidated
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States, Management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Some of the more significant policies
include:

Revenue Recognition: The Company generally manufactures products based on
specific orders from customers. Shipments are generally made by common carrier
after receiving authorization from the customer, and revenue is recognized upon
shipment under FOB factory terms.

Warranties: The Company follows the policy of accruing an estimated liability
for warranties at the time the warranted products are sold. The estimate is
generally based on past claims experience.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation
is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. The Company is depreciating buildings over periods of 15 to
50 years, building improvements over periods of 5 to 20 years, and equipment
over periods of 3 to 12 years.

Identifiable Intangible Asset and Goodwill: The identifiable intangible assets
generated by the Wheel to Wheel merger will be amortized to expense over the
expected lives of the assets ranging from two to twenty years. Goodwill will not
be amortized to expense, but rather will be evaluated annually at the end of the
Company's second fiscal quarter for any impairment in the carrying value, and
adjusted accordingly through the income statement.

Forward Looking Statements

The foregoing discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding economic
conditions and trends, adequacy of capital resources, seasonality and supply of,
and demand for, the Company's products, and the prospects of Management's
operating strategies, revenues and profits, all of which are subject to a number
of important factors which may cause the Company's projections to be materially
inaccurate. Some of such factors are described in the Company's Form 10-K for
the year ended October 3, 2004, under the subsection entitled "Discussion of
Forward-Looking Information" which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

STARCRAFT CORPORATION

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Starcraft carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of Starcraft's management, including Starcraft's Co-Chief
Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of Starcraft's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant
to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Co-Chief Executive
Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at January 2, 2005,
Starcraft's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in accumulating and
communicating to management (including such officers) the information relating
to Starcraft (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included
in Starcraft's periodic SEC filings.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures during the Company's last fiscal quarter, nor any significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses in such disclosure controls and procedures
requiring corrective actions. As a result, no corrective actions were taken.
