1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

   Plug Power Inc. (Company) was originally formed as a joint venture between
   Edison Development Corporation (EDC) and Mechanical Technology Incorporated
   (MTI) on June 27, 1997 and succeeded by merger to all of the assets,
   liabilities and equity of Plug Power, L.L.C. in November 1999.  The Company
   is a development stage enterprise formed to research, develop, manufacture
   and distribute fuel cells for electric power generation.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2000, the condensed
   consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements
   of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 have been prepared by
   the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
   which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present
   fairly, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
   financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows for all
   periods presented, have been made.  The results of operations for the interim
   periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
   expected for the full year.

   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
   statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
   principles have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed consolidated
   financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
   financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
   Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

3. LOSS PER SHARE

   Loss per share for the Company is as follows:

4. INCOME TAXES

   The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income
   Taxes", and is subject to an effective tax rate of 40%.  No benefit for
   federal or state income taxes has been reported in these condensed
   consolidated statements of operations as they have been offset by a full
   valuation allowance.

5. GASTEC TRANSACTION

   In February 2000, Plug Power acquired all of Gastec's intellectual property,
   and certain fixed assets, related to fuel processor development for fuel cell
   systems capable of producing up to 100 kW of electricity.  The total purchase
   price was $14,800,000, paid in cash.  In connection with the transaction, the
   Company recorded in-process research and development expense in the amount of
   $4,984,000, fixed assets in the amount of $191,500 and intangible assets in
   the amount of $9,624,500 (including a trained workforce for $357,00).

   The in-process research and development was valued using an income approach
   which reflects the present value of future avoided costs the Company
   estimates it would otherwise have spent if it were to acquire the exclusive
   rights to this technology, for its remaining useful life, from another
   entity.  The Company then discounted the net avoided cost using a 40%
   discount rate which the Company believes to be consistent with the risk
   associated this early stage technology.  This amount was further adjusted to
   reflect the technology's stage of completion, of approximately 30%, in order
   to reflect the value of the in-process research and development attributable
   to the efforts of the seller up to the date of the transaction.

   Fixed assets were capitalized at their fair value and will be depreciated
   over their useful life.

   In connection with the transaction, the Company acquired the services of
   employees experienced in the fuel cell industry.  Accordingly, the Company
   has capitalized the estimated cost savings associated with recruiting,
   relocating and training a similar workforce.

   The remaining $9,267,500 has been capitalized as an intangible asset.  This
   amount together with the value attributable to the trained workforce has been
   capitalized and will be amortized over 16 months, the period from the time of
   the acquisition to our anticipated commercial launch.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   Development agreements:

   In April, 2000, the Company finalized a joint development agreement with
   AXIVA GmbH, to develop a high temperature membrane electrode unit (MEU).
   Under the agreement, Plug Power and Axiva would exclusively work together on
   the development of a high temperature MEU for Plug Power stationary fuel cell
   system applications.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANAYLSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included within
this report, and our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1999.  In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q and the following
discussion contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates,
intentions, expectations and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially
from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those
set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

OVERVIEW

  Plug Power is a designer and developer of on-site, electricity generation
systems utilizing proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells for residential
applications. GE Fuel Cell Systems, LLC, a joint venture 75% owned by General
Electric's GE Power Systems business and 25% owned by Plug Power, will market,
sell, service, and install our product.

  Plug Power was formed in June 1997 as a joint venture to further the
development of fuel cells for electric power generation in residential and other
applications. We are a development stage company and expect to bring our first
commercial product to market in 2001.

  Since inception, we have devoted substantially all of our resources toward the
development of the PEM fuel cell systems and have derived substantially all of
our revenue from government research and development contracts. Through March
31, 2000, our stockholders in the aggregate have contributed $224.4 million in
cash, including $93.0 million in net proceeds from our initial public offering
of common stock, which closed on November 3, 1999 and $25.5 million in other
contributions, consisting of in-process research and development, real estate,
other in-kind contributions and a 25% interest in GE Fuel Cell Systems.

  Since our inception in June 1997, we have formed strategic alliances with
suppliers of key components, developed distributor and customer relationships,
and entered into development and demonstration programs with electric utilities,
government agencies and other energy providers.

  During the first quarter of 2000 we completed the acquisition of intellectual
property related to fuel processing from Gastec, signed an agreement with
Vaillant to develop next generation heating appliances and acquired a 28 percent
interest in Advanced Energy Systems to enhance our power electronics technology.

  We are continuing to ramp up our production activities in order to produce 500
pre-commercial fuel cell systems by the end of 2000.  During the first quarter
we produced 22 fuel cell systems for both onsite and offsite testing.
Additionally, we currently have 17 systems installed in the field running on
natural gas and providing power to homes and businesses.  These units are
located on Long Island, in Michigan and in the greater Albany, New York area.
While these units are not our final commercial design they will enable us to
gather meaningful data that is critical to the design of our initial commercial
product which is currently expected to be available in the second half of 2001.
We do not expect significant product sales until after we begin commercial
production.

                                       8
<PAGE>

  From inception through March 31, 2000, we have incurred losses of $66.2
million and expect to continue to incur losses as we expand our product
development and commercialization program and prepare for the commencement of
manufacturing operations.  We expect that losses will fluctuate from quarter to
quarter and that such fluctuations may be substantial as a result of, among
other factors, the number of systems we produce and install for internal and
external testing, the related service requirements necessary to monitor those
systems and potential design changes required as a result of field testing.
There can be no assurance that we will manufacture or sell residential fuel cell
systems successfully or achieve or sustain product revenues or profitability.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999.

  Revenues.   Our revenues during this period were derived primarily from cost
reimbursement government contracts relating to the development of PEM fuel cell
technology and contract revenue generated from the delivery of PEM fuel cells
and related engineering and testing support services for other customers.  Our
government contracts provide for the partial recovery of direct and indirect
costs from the specified government agency, generally requiring us to absorb
from 25% to 50% of contract costs incurred.

  Total revenues for the first quarter of 2000 were $2.9 million as compared to
$1.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999.  The increase is the
result of government contract activity with the U.S. Department of Energy and
New York State Energy Research Development Authority combined with $0.6 million
of new commercial contract revenue.  As a result of our cost sharing
requirements for government contracts, we will report losses on these contracts
as well as any future government contracts awarded.

  We began to manufacture pre-commercial residential fuel cell systems in the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. The pre-commercial units which we are now
developing do not conform to the specifications originally agreed upon with GE
in February 1999. As a result, GE is no longer contractually obligated to
purchase the 485 units under its take or pay commitment and we no longer
anticipate the projected $10.3 million in revenue from GE in 2000. We do however
expect that GE will be purchasing a large number of these modified designs
during the remainder of this year and the first half of 2001. We are currently
working out the terms of this arrangement and our relationship with GE remains
intact.

                                       9
<PAGE>

  Cost of revenues.   Cost of contract revenue includes compensation and
benefits for the engineering and related support staff, fees paid to outside
suppliers for subcontracted components and services, fees paid to consultants
for services provided, materials and supplies used and other directly allocable
general overhead costs allocated to specific government contracts.  Cost of
contract revenue was $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, as
compared to $2.2 million for the same period last year.  The increase in
contract costs was related to the additional government grant activity, combined
with the additional staff and related support costs necessary to earn the
additional contract revenue.  The result was a loss on contracts of $1.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to a loss on contracts of
$0.4 million last year.

  We expect the cost to produce our initial systems to be higher than their
sales price under the terms of our arrangements with our two distributors, GE
Fuel Cell Systems and Edison Development and expect to continue to experience
costs in excess of product revenues until we achieve higher production levels,
which we do not anticipate until after 2002.

  Research and Development.   Research and development expense includes
compensation and benefits for the engineering and related staff, expenses for
contract engineers, materials to build prototype units, fees paid to outside
suppliers for subcontracted components and services, supplies used, facility
related costs, such as computer and network services and other general overhead
costs. Research and development expenses increased to $16.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 from $3.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999.  The increase was a result of a one-time charge of $5.0 million
related to the write off of in-process research and development related to our
acquisition of intellectual property acquired from Gastec and amortization of
$0.6 million related to the portion of the Gastec purchase price which has been
capitalized and recorded on our balance sheet under the caption "Intangible
assets."  The remaining increase, $7.8 million, is attributable to the growth of
our research and development activities, including the production of 22 test and
evaluation fuel cell systems,  focused on residential PEM fuel cell systems.

  We expect to significantly increase our spending on research and development
in order to bring our residential PEM fuel cell systems to the marketplace by
2001.

  General and Administrative.   General and administrative expense includes
compensation, benefits and related costs in support of our general corporate
functions, including general management, finance and accounting, human
resources, business development, information and legal services.  General and
administrative expenses decreased to $1.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The
decrease is due to a one-time charge, in 1999, in the amount of $2.3 million for
non-cash stock-based compensation representing the aggregate fair value of stock
granted to Mechanical Technology, as further explained below, offset by an
increase of $1.0 million for increased personnel cost and general expenses
associated with expanding operations.

  Our original formation agreements provided for Mechanical Technology to earn
non-cash credits relating to services it rendered prior to our formation in
connection with securing future government contracts. Upon our formation,
Mechanical Technology contributed its fuel cell operations to us and we received
the right to these government contracts if ever awarded in the future. When
these contracts were awarded to us, Mechanical Technology earned the non-cash

                                       10
<PAGE>

credits, entitling it to receive 2,250,000 shares of common stock with a fair
value at the time of grant of $2.3 million. Accordingly, we recognized
$2.3 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense during the three
months ended March 31, 1999.

  Interest Expense.   Interest expense of $95,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 consists of interest on a long-term obligation related to a real
estate purchase agreement with Mechanical Technology in July, 1999, and interest
paid on capital lease obligations.

  Other Income.   Other income consists of interest income earned on our cash
and cash equivalents.  Other income increased to $2.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from $44,000 for the same period last year.  The
increase was due to interest earned on higher balances of cash and cash
equivalents available throughout the first quarter of 2000, which is result of
our initial public offering of common stock and the exercise of warrants and
stock purchase commitments by our existing stockholders.

  Equity in losses of affiliate.  Equity in losses of affiliate increased to
$508,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $187,500 last year.
Equity in losses of affiliate of $508,000 for the period ended March 31, 2000 is
our proportionate share of the losses of GE Fuel Cell Systems $226,750 and
goodwill amortization $281,250, which we account for under the equity method of
accounting.

  Income Taxes.   No benefit for federal and state income taxes has been
reported in the financial statements because the deferred tax asset generated
from our net operating loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 has
been offset by a full valuation allowance.

  We were taxed as a partnership prior to November 3, 1999, the effective date
of our merger into a C corporation, and the federal and state income tax
benefits of our losses were recorded by our stockholders. Effective on
November 3, 1999, and began accounting for income taxes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for
Income Taxes."


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Summary

  Our cash requirements depend on numerous factors, including completion of our
product development activities, ability to commercialize our residential fuel
cell systems, market acceptance of our systems and other factors. We expect to
devote substantial capital resources to continue our development programs
directed at commercializing our fuel cell systems for worldwide residential use,
to hire and train our production staff, develop and expand our manufacturing
capacity, begin production activities and expand our research and development
activities.  We will pursue the expansion of our operations through internal
growth and strategic acquisitions and expect such activities will be funded from
existing cash and cash equivalents, issuance of additional equity or debt
securities or additional borrowings subject to market and other conditions.
There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available on
terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The failure to raise the funds
necessary to finance its future cash requirements or consummate future
acquisitions could adversely affect the

                                       11
<PAGE>

Company's ability to pursue its strategy and could negatively affect its
operations in future periods. We anticipate incurring substantial additional
losses over at least the next several years and believe that our current cash
balances will provide us with sufficient capital to fund operations for at least
the next 12 months.

  We have financed our operations through March 31, 2000, primarily from the
sale of equity, which has provided cash in the amount of $224.4 million. As of
March 31, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $140.9 million and
working capital was approximately $140.0 million.  As a result of our purchase
of real estate from Mechanical Technology, we have escrowed $5.8 million in cash
to collateralize the debt assumed on the purchase.  Since inception, net cash
used in operating activities has been $49.0 million and cash used in investing
activities has been $28.3 million.


IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

  In late 1999, we completed a review and evaluation of the potential impact
that the change in the date to the Year 2000 will have on our computer systems
and concluded that all of our major computer systems were able to recognize and
appropriately process dates commencing in the Year 2000. As a result of those
planning and implementation efforts, the Company experienced no significant
disruptions in mission critical information technology and non-information
technology systems and believes those systems successfully responded to the Year
2000 date change.

  Our historical cost to assess our Year 2000 readiness has been negligible. The
Company is not aware of any material problems resulting from Year 2000 issues,
either with its internal systems, or the products and services of third parties.
We will continue to monitor our mission critical computer applications and those
of our suppliers and vendors throughout the year 2000 to ensure that any latent
Year 2000 matters that may arise are addressed promptly.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------

On January 25, 2000, DCT, Inc. filed a complaint against Plug Power, The Detroit
Edison Company and Edison Development Corporation, alleging that these entities
misappropriated from DCT business and technical trade secrets, ideas, know-how
and strategies relating to fuel cell systems and breached certain contractual
obligations owed to DCT. We believe the allegations made against us are without
merit and we intend to vigorously contest the litigation. Discovery is currently
underway. Due to the early stage of this litigation, we cannot determine whether
any loss will result from the ultimate outcome.
