Titan Announces Record Sales and Profits

    PHOENIX--April 5, 1999--Titan Motorcycle Co. of America announced record sales and profits for the 1998 fiscal year.
    Sales increased 113% to $27.9 million as compared to $13.1 million for 1997.
    The company showed its first-ever full-year profit of $237,000 or $0.01 per share as compared to a loss of $1,673,743 in 1997.
    "We are pleased to reach another milestone for Titan with year-to-year sales growth more than doubling and the achievement of our first-ever full year of profitability" commented CEO Frank Keery.
    Keery indicated, "Operating results are even more significant when viewed in the context of the continuing major investments made throughout 1998. Most notable were the preparations for full commercialization of the new Phoenix line of motorcycles introduced in early 1999."
    "The fact that our sales continue their exceptional growth is impressive, especially in the light of a number of new entrants into this market such as Excelsior-Henderson and Indian Motorcycle. Titan continues to be recognized as a leading major force in the industry, as evidenced by the working agreements with prestigious companies like Shelby American, Inc. It is this caliber of working relationship that keeps Titan ahead of the pack," said Keery.
