This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relating to the common stock, par
value $0.001 per share, of Laser Power Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Laser Power"), is being filed on behalf of (i) Union Miniere USA Inc., a
Delaware corporation formerly known as Union Miniere Inc. ("Union Miniere USA"),
by virtue of its direct beneficial ownership of Laser Power's common stock and
(ii) n.v. Union Miniere s.a., a Belgian corporation, which owns approximately
82% of the stock of Union Miniere USA. The remaining stock of Union Miniere USA
is held by n.v. Sogem s.a., a Belgian corporation, virtually all of the
outstanding shares of which are held by n.v. Union Miniere s.a. This Amendment
No. 2 is being filed to amend the Schedule 13D which was originally filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on October 6, 1999, as amended on
April 7, 2000 (the "Schedule 13D"). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized
terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in
the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following information:
On June 1, 2000, Union Miniere USA entered into a definitive Agreement
and Plan of Merger with Laser Power and ACEC, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Union Miniere USA ("ACEC"), whereby Union Miniere USA
through ACEC will acquire in a merger following a first step tender offer all of
the outstanding shares of common stock of Laser Power at a cash purchase price
of $4.00 per share, for a total cash purchase price of approximately $38.7
million. The source of funds used to pay for these shares will be from Union
Miniere USA's working capital.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following information:
On June 1, 2000, Union Miniere USA entered into a definitive Agreement
and Plan of Merger with Laser Power and ACEC whereby Laser Power would become a
wholly owned subsidiary of Union Miniere USA. Under the terms of the Agreement
and Plan of Merger and as a first step to the merger, ACEC will commence a
tender offer in June for all of Laser Power's outstanding shares of common stock
for a cash purchase price of $4.00 per share, for a total cash purchase price of
approximately $38.7 million. Laser Power will be merged with and into ACEC
following the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, including, among other things, the approval of the United States
Department of Defense and the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United
States. Each of the board of directors of Union Miniere USA and Laser Power has
approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the tender offer and merger
transactions contemplated thereby.

entirety as follows:
<PAGE>
----------------------------------- ---------------------------
CUSIP NO. 51806K 10 4 Page 5 of 7 Pages
----------------------------------- ---------------------------
(a) Union Miniere USA is the beneficial owner of 957,795 shares of
Laser Power's common stock. Because n.v. Union Miniere s.a. owns, directly or
indirectly, virtually all of the shares of outstanding stock of Union Miniere
USA, n.v. Union Miniere s.a. beneficially owns all of these shares. The shares
beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons represent approximately 9.95% of
Laser Power's outstanding common stock (calculated as required by Rule
13d-3(d)(1) and based on there being 9,622,150 shares of Laser Power common
stock outstanding on March 26, 2000, according to Laser Power's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q dated May 9, 2000).
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following information:
On June 1, 2000, Union Miniere USA entered into a definitive Agreement
and Plan of Merger with Laser Power and ACEC whereby Laser Power would become a
wholly owned subsidiary of Union Miniere USA. Under the terms of the Agreement
and Plan of Merger and as a first step to the merger, ACEC will commence a
tender offer in June for all of Laser Power's outstanding shares of common stock
for a cash purchase price of $4.00 per share, for a total cash purchase price of
approximately $38.7 million. Laser Power will be merged with and into ACEC
following the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, including, among other things, the approval of the United States
Department of Defense and the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United
States. Each of the board of directors of Union Miniere USA and Laser Power has
approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the tender offer and merger
transactions contemplated thereby. A copy of the Agreement and Plan of Merger is
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.
