NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note A. Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of SatCon Technology Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company") as of June 30, 1998 and have been prepared by the
Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. These consolidated financial statements, which in the opinion of
management reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation, should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Report on Form
10-K for the year ended September 30, 1997. Operating results for the three and
nine month periods ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the entire
fiscal year.
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 at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note B. Significant Events
- --------------------------
BEACON POWER CORPORATION
During a recapitalization of Beacon Power Corporation ("Beacon") on December 24,
1997, Beacon obtained equity financing from private investors and the Company
converted a significant portion of its ownership of Beacon to convertible
preferred stock. The Company retained approximately 19.9% of Beacon's
outstanding voting stock. Although the Company owned less than 20% of the
outstanding voting stock of Beacon, based on other factors there was a
presumption that the Company had the ability to exercise significant influence,
and the equity method was required for the fair presentation subsequent to this
recapitalization. The impact on the consolidated financial statements at
December 24, 1997 was as follows:

</TABLE>
On October 23, 1998, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement,
(the "Agreement"), by and among Beacon, Perseus Capital, L.L.C. ("Perseus"),
Duquesne Enterprises, ("Duquesne"), Micro Generation Technology Fund, L.L.C.
("Micro", and together with Perseus and Duquesne, the "Purchasers") and the
Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, (i) the Purchasers purchased
from Beacon and Beacon issued, sold and delivered to the Purchasers 1,900,000
shares (the "Shares") of Beacon's Class D Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per
share; (ii) the Purchasers have the right to receive certain warrants to
purchase shares of Beacon's common stock, $.01 par value per share ("Beacon's
Common Stock"); (iii) the Company granted the Purchasers the right (the "Put
Right") to cause the Company, in circumstances described below, to purchase all
of the Shares and all of Beacon's Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Shares; and (iv) upon exercise of the Put Right pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement, the Company must pay the consideration contemplated by the Agreement
in shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share, valued at the
average fair value for the fifteen trading days before and after notice of
exercise of the Put Right. The aggregate consideration received by Beacon was
$4,750,000. The Put Right is exercisable within sixty days of the second, third,
fourth and fifth anniversary of the closing date of the transaction, upon
certain events of bankruptcy of Beacon and upon the occurrence of certain going
private transactions involving the Company. If the Put Right were to be
exercised, the Company would most likely recognize a loss equal to the value of
the Company's shares issued upon exercise of the Put Right. The Company retained
approximately 19.9% of Beacon's outstanding voting stock. Accordingly, as a
result of the third-party financing obtained don October 23, 1998 the Company's
remaining investment in Beacon from October 23, 1998 going forward will be
accounted for on a cost basis.
The Company will continue to review its investment in Beacon. While the Company
continues to be optimistic regarding the long term prospects for Beacon and the
flywheel technology, Beacon has not yet successfully introduced a flywheel
product and will need substantial additional financing to continue its
operations. If in the future the Company determines that its investment in
Beacon does not have any remaining value, the Company would take appropriate
actions to write-off the remaining cost of its investment.

Note C. Income per Share
- ------------------------
As of October 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 replaced
APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share". The previously reported primary and
fully diluted earnings per share have been replaced with basic and diluted
earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share
excludes any dilutive effects of options and warrants. Earnings per share
amounts for all periods presented conform to SFAS No. 128 requirements. There
was no effect on the earnings per share disclosures for prior periods presented
as a result of adoption of SFAS No. 128 due to the antidilutive effect of the
Company's outstanding options and warrants. As of June 30, 1998, there were
879,827 and 63,848 stock options and warrants, respectively, outstanding. The
following is the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic
and diluted per share computations of net income/(loss):

June 30, 1997 ("Q3 1997")
- ------------- -----------
Revenue. The Company's revenue increased approximately $557,000 or 18.0% from Q3
1997 to Q3 1998. Approximately $405,000 of the increase in revenue is due to
increased effort on various research and development contracts and $294,000 is
attributed to the acquisition of Film Microelectronics, Inc. ("FMI"), which
closed on April 16, 1997. The increase in revenue was partially offset by
decreased revenue of approximately $142,000 related to the sale of manufactured
products at K&D Magmotor Corporation ("K&D").
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue decreased approximately $147,000 or 7.9%, from
Q3 1997 to Q3 1998. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction of cost of
revenue of approximately $125,000 and $109,000 associated with K&D and FMI,
respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in effort on
research and development contracts.
Loss from Investment in Beacon Power Corporation. On May 20, 1997, the Company
formed its subsidiary, Beacon, through a strategic partnership with Duquesne
Enterprises, a subsidiary of DOE, Inc., to manufacture and distribute the
Company's flywheel energy storage systems. Duquesne Enterprises made an initial
investment totaling $5,000,000 in the Company to fund flywheel product
development. Beacon assumed the activities of the Company's Energy Systems
Division which was formed in October 1995 to focus on the product development
and marketing of flywheel "Inertial Battery" systems for such markets as
utilities, cable television and telecommunications, where uninterruptible power
supplies (UPS) are critical to maintaining services. In December 1997, Beacon
obtained equity financing from private investors and the Company converted a
significant portion of its ownership of Beacon to convertible preferred stock.
The Company retained approximately 19.9% of Beacon's outstanding voting stock.
On October 23, 1998, Beacon completed a $4,750,000 private placement of equity
securities with Perseus Capital L.L.C., Duquesne Enterprises and Micro
Generation Technology Fund, L.L.C. Beacon will utilize the proceeds from the
private placement toward the completion of the commercialization of the 20C1000
Cable/Telecom Flywheel System. Beacon's focus is limited to providing flywheel
energy storage products for stationary terrestrial applications.
As set forth in Note J to the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended September 30, 1997, upon converting the majority
of its equity ownership interest in Beacon to convertible preferred stock in
December 1997, the Company believed that the appropriate accounting treatment
for its investment in Beacon was to account for the investment on the cost basis
and to treat Beacon as a non-consolidated entity. The Company has reported its
financial results since the second quarter of 1998 without reflecting Beacon's
losses in its results of operations and showing its investment in Beacon at cost
on its balance sheet.
In auditing the Company's financial statements for the year ended September 30,
1998, the Company's independent accountants advised the Company that the
treatment of Beacon as a non-consolidated entity was inappropriate for the
period subsequent to December 1997 and prior to the October 1998 financing.
Consequently, the Company is amending its financial results for the third
quarter of fiscal year 1998 and has included approximately 1,269,000 of loss
from its investment in Beacon since December 1997 in the financial statements
for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This resulted in a net loss of
approximately $1,208,000 (or $.13 per share) for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The balance sheet reflects a corresponding increase in retained
earnings/(deficit). The loss reported in connection with Beacon has not affected
the business prospects or cash position of either the Company or Beacon and the
Company has no further funding commitments to Beacon.
The Company has been advised by its independent accountants that they concur
with the Company's view that the Company is neither required to consolidate nor
reflect its pro-rata share of Beacon's losses for any period subsequent to the
third-party financing Beacon obtained in October 1998. Consequently, during the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, the Company will carry its investment in
Beacon at its remaining cost of approximately $1,458,000 and will not be
consolidating or otherwise reflecting Beacon's results of operations in its
financial statements.
The Company will continue to review its investment in Beacon. While the Company
continues to be optimistic regarding the long term prospects for Beacon and the
flywheel technology, Beacon has not yet successfully introduced a flywheel
product and will need substantial additional financing to continue its
operations. If in the future the Company determines that its investment in
Beacon does not have any remaining value, the Company would take appropriate
actions to write-off the remaining cost of its investment.
Nine Months Ended June 30, 1998 ("Q3 1998 YTD") Compared to the Nine Months
- ------------------------------- --------------- ---------------------------
Ended June 30, 1997 ("Q3 1997 YTD")
- ------------------- ---------------
Revenue. The Company's revenue increased approximately $3,536,000 or 43.5%,
from Q3 1997 YTD to Q3 1998 YTD. The increase in revenue is primarily due to
the two acquisitions closed in 1997, K&D and FMI. These two acquisitions
represent incremental revenue of approximately $3,433,000. The increase in
revenue is also due to an increase of approximately $52,000 related
to work on various research and development contracts and an increase of
7
<PAGE>
approximately $51,000 related to the sale of manufactured products at K&D.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased approximately $2,353,000 or 60.2%,
from Q3 1997 YTD to Q3 1998 YTD. The increase is primarily due to the addition
of cost of revenue of approximately $372,000 and $1,808,000 associated with K&D
and FMI, respectively.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased
approximately $423,000 or 381.7%. This increase is primarily due to the
development of the flywheel energy storage system incurred by Beacon Power
Corporation ("Beacon") for the three months ended December 31, 1997. During
1997, the Company formed Beacon, a wholly-owned subsidiary, to continue the work
of its Energy Systems Division. During a recapitalization of Beacon in December
1997, the Company converted a significant portion of its ownership of Beacon to
convertible preferred stock. The Company retained approximately 19.9% of
Beacon's outstanding voting stock. Although the Company owned less than 20% of
the outstanding voting stock of Beacon, based on other factors, there was a
presumption that the Company had the ability to exercise significant influence,
and the equity method was required for the fair presentation subsequent to this
recapitalization. The Company's share of losses from Beacon is shown as a single
amount in the statement of operations, "Loss from Investment in Beacon Power
Corporation."
Loss from Investment in Beacon Power Corporation. On May 20, 1997, the Company
formed its subsidiary, Beacon, through a strategic partnership with Duquesne
Enterprises, a subsidiary of DOE, Inc., to manufacture and distribute the
Company's flywheel energy storage systems. Duquesne Enterprises made an initial
investment totaling $5,000,000 in the Company to fund flywheel product
development. Beacon assumed the activities of the Company's Energy Systems
Division which was formed in October 1995 to focus on the product development
and marketing of flywheel "Inertial Battery" systems for such markets as
utilities, cable television and telecommunications, where uninterruptible power
supplies (UPS) are critical to maintaining services. In December 1997, Beacon
obtained equity financing from private investors and the Company converted a
significant portion of its ownership of Beacon to convertible preferred stock.
The Company retained approximately 19.9% of Beacon's outstanding voting stock.
On October 23, 1998, Beacon completed a $4,750,000 private placement of equity
securities with Perseus Capital L.L.C., Duquesne Enterprises and Micro
Generation Technology Fund, L.L.C. Beacon will utilize the proceeds from the
private placement toward the completion of the commercialization of the 20C1000
Cable/Telecom Flywheel System. Beacon's focus is limited to providing flywheel
energy storage products for stationary terrestrial applications.
As set forth in Note J to the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended September 30, 1997, upon converting the majority
of its equity ownership interest in Beacon to convertible preferred stock in
December 1997, the Company believed that the appropriate accounting treatment
for its investment in Beacon was to account for the investment on the cost basis
and to treat Beacon as a non-consolidated entity. The Company has reported its
financial results since the second quarter of 1998 without reflecting Beacon's
losses in its results of operations and showing its investment in Beacon at cost
on its balance sheet.
In auditing the Company's financial statements for the year ended September 30,
1998, the Company's independent accountants advised the Company that the
treatment of Beacon as a non-consolidated entity was inappropriate for the
period subsequent to December 1997 and prior to the October 1998 financing.
Consequently, the Company is amending its financial results for the third
quarter of fiscal year 1998 and has included approximately $2,239,000 of loss
from its investment in Beacon since December 1997 in the financial statements
for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. This resulted in a net loss of
approximately $2,749,000 (or $.13 per share) for the nine months ended June 30,
1998. The balance sheet reflects a corresponding increase in retained
earnings/(deficit). The loss reported in connection with Beacon has not affected
the business prospects or cash position of either the Company or Beacon and the
Company has no further funding commitments to Beacon.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and cash equivalents was approximately $1,856,000 as of June
30, 1998, a decrease of approximately $2,400,000 from September 30, 1997. Cash
used in operating activities was approximately $1,471,000 for Q3 1998 YTD,
compared to approximately $2,154,000 for Q3 1997 YTD. The cash used in
operating activities is primarily the result of a net loss and an increase in
inventory related to the introduction of a new line of standard regulators.
The Company anticipates that its existing cash resources and cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to fund its operations at least through June 30,
1999, as well as its ability to repurchase up to 5 percent of the Company's
outstanding shares over the next 24 months under a stock repurchase program (the
"Program"). Under the Program, the Company plans to purchase shares on the open
market from time-to-time, depending on market conditions. The Company's ability
to generate cash from operations depends upon, among other things, revenue
growth, its credit and payment terms with vendors, and collection of accounts
receivable. If such sources of cash prove insufficient, the Company will be
required to seek addition debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance
that cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating
requirements, or if required, that additional debt or equity financing will be
available on terms acceptable to the Company.
FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS
The Company's future results remain difficult to predict and may be affected by
a number of factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from
forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and presented elsewhere
by management from time to time. These factors include business conditions
within the automotive, telecommunications, industrial machinery, and
semiconductor industries and the world economies as a whole, and competitive
pressures that may impact research and development spending. The Company's
revenue growth is dependent on technology developments and contract research and
development for both the government and commercial sectors and no assurance can
be given that such investments will continue or that the Company can
successfully obtain such funds. In addition, the Company's future growth
opportunities are dependent on the introduction of new products that must
penetrate automotive, telecommunications, industrial, and computer market
segments. No assurance can be given that new products can be developed, or if
developed, will be successful; that competitors will not force prices to an
8
<PAGE>
unacceptably low level or take market share from the Company; or that the
Company can achieve or maintain profits in these markets. Because of these and
other factors, past financial performances should not be considered an indicator
of future performance. Investors should not use historical trends to anticipate
future results and should be aware that the Company's stock price frequently
experiences significant volatility.
On October 23, 1998, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement,
by and among Beacon, Perseus Capital L.L.C. ("Perseus"), Duquesne, Micro
Generation Technology Fund, L.L.C. ("Micro", and together with Perseus and
Duquesne, the "Purchasers") and the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the
agreement, (i) the Purchasers purchased from Beacon and Beacon issued, sold and
delivered to the Purchasers 1,900,000 shares (the "Shares") of Beacon's Class D
Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share; (ii) the Purchasers have the right to
receive certain warrants to purchase shares of Beacon's common stock, $.01 par
value per share ("Beacon's Common Stock"); (iii) the Company granted the
Purchasers the right (the "Put Right") to cause the Company, in circumstances
described below, to purchase all of the Shares and all of Beacon's Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Shares; and (iv) upon exercise of the Put Right
pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company must pay the consideration
contemplated by the agreement in shares of the Company's Common Stock, valued at
the average fair value for the fifteen trading days before and after notice of
exercise of the Put Right. The aggregate consideration received by Beacon was
$4,750,000. The Put Right is exercisable within sixty days of the second, third,
fourth and fifth anniversary of the closing date of the transaction, upon
certain events of bankruptcy of Beacon and upon the occurrence of certain going
private transactions involving the Company. If the Put Right were to be
exercised, the Company would most likely recognize a loss equal to the Company's
shares issued upon exercise of the Put Right.
EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997 and requires that changes in comprehensive income be shown in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. The Company will adopt SFAS 130 beginning in the first quarter of
the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999.
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." SFAS 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997 and establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an
enterprise's operating segments and related disclosures about its products and
services, geographical areas and major customers. The Company will adopt SFAS
131 beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999.
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999 and establishes a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging
activities. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 beginning in the first quarter of
the fiscal year ending September 30, 2000.
Adoption of SFAS 130, SFAS 131 and SFAS 133 are not expected to have a material
impact to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows, and any effect will be limited to the form and content of its
disclosures.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The Company believes that inflation over the past three years has not had a
significant impact on the Company's sales or operating results.
EFFECTS OF YEAR 2000
The year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. Certain
computer programs that have date-sensitive software and use two digits only may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.
The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be adversely
impacted by the Y2K software failures and has established a project team to
address the Y2K risks. The project team has coordinated the identification of,
and will coordinate the implementation of, changes to computer hardware and
software applications that will attempt to ensure availability and integrity of
the Company's information systems and the reliability of its operational systems
and manufacturing processes. The Company is also assessing the potential overall
impact of Y2K on its business, results of operations and financial position.
The Company has reviewed its information and operational systems and
manufacturing processes in order to identify those products, services or systems
that are not Y2K compliant. As a result of this review, the Company has
determined that it will be required to modify or replace certain information
and operational systems so that they will be Y2K compliant. These modifications
and replacements are being, and will continue to be, made in conjunction with
the Company's overall system initiatives. The total cost of these Y2K compliance
measures has not been, and is not anticipated to be, material to the Company's
financial position or its results of operations. The Company expects to complete
its Y2K project during fiscal year 1999. Based on available information, the
Company does not believe any material exposure to significant business
interruption exists as a result of Y2K compliance issues. Accordingly, the
Company has not adopted any formal contingency plan in the event its Y2K project
is not completed in a timely manner. These costs and the timing in which the
Company plans to complete its Y2K modifications and testing processes are based
on management's best estimates. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will timely identify and remediate all significant Y2K problems, that
remedial efforts will not involve significant time and expense or that such
problems will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
results of operations or financial position.
The Company also faces risks to the extent that suppliers of products, services
and systems purchased by the Company and others with whom the Company transacts
business do not comply with the Y2K requirements. The Company is identifying
significant suppliers and customers to determine the extent to which the Company
is vulnerable to these third parties' failure to remediate their own Y2K issues.
In the event any such third party cannot provide the Company the products,
services or systems that meet the Y2K requirements on a timely basis, the
Company's results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. To
the extent Y2K issues cause significant delays in, or cancellation of, decisions
to purchase the Company's products or services, the Company's business, results
of operations or financial position would be materially adversely affected.
