                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholder
of Ling Electronics, Inc. and Subsidiary

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholder's equity and cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ling
Electronics, Inc. and its subsidiary at September 30, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Ling Electronics, Inc. (the "Company"), of Anaheim California, designs,
manufacturers and markets electro-dynamic vibration test systems, high-intensity
sound transducers, power conversion equipment and power amplifiers used to
perform reliability testing and stress screening during product development and
quality control.  This mode of testing is used by industry and the military to
reveal design and manufacturing flaws in a broad range of precision products,
from satelite parts to computer components.

On October 21, 1999, SatCon Technology Corporation ("SatCon") completed its
acquisition of the Company from Mechanical Technology, Incorporated. (the
"Parent Company") in connection with an additional investment by the Parent
Company of approximately $7,000 in SatCon.  In consideration for the acquisition
of the Company and the Parent Company's investment, the Parent Company will
receive 1,800,000 shares of SatCon's common stock, $.01 par value per share, and
warrants to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of SatCon's common stock.  The
Parent Company funded $2,570 of its investment in SatCon on October 21, 1999,
and will make the remaining investment by the end of January 2000.  In addition,
SatCon will also receive warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the Parent
Company's common stock.  In connection with the acquisition, the advances due to
the Parent Company were contributed to capital by the Parent Company.

Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its sister company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Company) Ling
Electronics, Ltd., after eliminating intercompany accounts and transactions.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

The preparation of the consolidated 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 and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid short-term
investments with maturities of less than three months. Cash and cash equivalents
are carried at cost, which approximates market.

Inventories
- -----------
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-
out method) or market.

Property and Equipment
- ----------------------

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated (or amortized in the
case of leasehold improvements) using primarily the straight-line method over
their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.  Significant additions
or improvements extending assets' useful lives are capitalized; normal
maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.  The cost of fully
depreciated (or amortized) assets remaining in use are included in the
respective asset and accumulated depreciation (or amortization) accounts.  When
items are sold or retired, related gains or losses are included in operations.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

Assessments whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of
property and equipment are periodically performed by considering factors such as
expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects
of demand, competition and other economic factors.  Management believes no
permanent impairment has incurred.

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------

Sales of products are recognized when products are shipped to customers. Sales
of products under long-term contracts are recognized under the percentage-of-
completion method. Percentage-of-completion is based on the ratio of incurred
costs to current estimated total costs at completion.  Total contract losses are
charged to operations during the period such losses are estimable.

Foreign Currency Translation
- ----------------------------

The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiary are translated at
year-end rates of exchange, and revenues and expenses are translated at the
average rates of exchange prevailing for the year. The effects of unrealized
exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and
liabilities into U.S. dollars are accumulated in shareholder's equity.

Income Taxes
- ------------

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of
deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of
events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under
this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in
future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on the enacted tax laws
and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when
necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The provision for income taxes represents the taxes payable for the period and
the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Company will be included in the consolidated federal tax return filed by the
Parent Company through October 21, 1999, the date the Company was sold to SatCon
Technology Corporation.  The Company's tax provision has been computed using the
separate return method for the allocation of federal income taxes.  Deferred
taxes are recorded on the separate company financial statements until the
underlying temporary differences giving rise to the deferred taxes turn and the
taxes become currently payable/receivable.

Comprehensive Income
- --------------------

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which established standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income. The Company has adopted SFAS
No. 130 effective October 1, 1997. Comprehensive income includes such items as
foreign currency translation adjustments, etc. These amounts are presented as a
component of shareholder's deficit, consistent with the Company's previous
practice. SFAS No. 130 does not affect current principles of measurement of
revenues and expenses and accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis
that it will continue as a going-concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company reported net losses of $1,087 and $435 for the years ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and had a deficit in equity of $2,363
at September 30, 1999.

However, as discussed in Note 1, the Company was acquired on October 21, 1999 by
SatCon.  Therefore, these financial statements do not consider whether the
Company will continue as a going concern.  Continuation will be dependent on
business decision made by the management of SatCon, funding provided by SatCon
and the Company's results of operations.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories at September 30, consist of the following:

5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation
- ----------

During October 1998, a legal action brought by a group of investors against the
Parent Company related to a stock purchase agreement and side letter agreements
for the sale of the stock of the Company was determined in favor of the Parent
Company.

In February 1995, the Company made a voluntary disclosure to the United States
Department of Commerce regarding unlicensed exports of certain products shipped
in the first four months of fiscal 1995.  The Company has fully cooperated with
the Office of Export Enforcement, which has not taken any action to-date.
Possible administrative sanctions include: no action; a warning letter; denial
of export privileges; and/or imposition of civil penalties. Foreign sales
represent a significant portion of the Company's total revenue. The final
outcome of this matter is not presently determinable and, therefore, no
provision for any liability that may result has been recorded in the Company's
financial statements.

Future minimum rental payments required under noncancelable operating leases
are: $409 in 2000; $424 in 2001; $440 in 2002; and $344 in 2003.  Rent expense

the year ended September 30, 1999.  There was no rental income for the year
ended September 30, 1998.

Employee Savings Plan
- ---------------------

The Parent Company maintains a voluntary savings and retirement plan (Internal
Revenue Code Section 401(k) Plan) covering substantially all employees. The plan
allows eligible employees to contribute a percentage of their pretax
compensation and allows the Parent Company's management to make discretionary
matching contributions.  The investment of contributions to the plan is self-
directed by the participants in the plan.

6. INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates.

There was no income tax expense or benefit for the years ended September 30,
1999 or 1998.

The significant components of deferred income tax expense (benefit) for the
years ended September 30, are as follows:

INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  On October 21, 1999, SatCon Technology Corporation ("SatCon") completed its
acquisition of Ling Electronics, Inc. and Ling Electronics, Ltd. (collectively,
"Ling") from Mechanical Technology Incorporated ("MTI"). In consideration for
the acquisition of Ling, MTI received $70,000 and 770,000 shares of SatCon's
common stock, $0.01 par value per share.

  The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheets as of
September 30, 1999 and the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements
of operations for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 give effect to the
acquisition described above accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements
are based on historical consolidated financial statements of SatCon and Ling
under the assumptions and adjustments set forth in the accompanying notes to the
unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements.

  The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet assumes that the
acquisition was consummated on September 30, 1999 and the unaudited pro forma
combined consolidated statements of operations for the years ended September 30,
1999 and 1998 assumes the acquisition was consummated on October 1, 1998 and
October 1, 1997, respectively.

  For purposes of presenting the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated
balance sheet, Ling's assets and liabilities have been recorded at their
estimated fair values and the excess purchase price has been assigned to
goodwill.  These fair values are based on preliminary estimates.  Upon
completion of a detailed review of assets and liabilities, including
intangibles, certain adjustments may be required to finalize the purchase
accounting that could be material to SatCon's financial statements.

  The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements may not be
indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition
had been consummated on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the
future. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjuction with the historical consolidated financial
statements of SatCon and Ling.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet gives effect to

accounting, as if it had been consummated on September 30, 1999.

    The following is a summary of adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro
forma combined consolidated balance sheet:

(1)  Represents $70,000 of cash paid pursuant to the stock purchase agreement.
(2)  Represents the adjustments to reflect the fair value of Ling's property,
     plant and equipment.
(3)  Represents the purchase price of approximately $7,750,000, including direct
     acquisition costs of $100,000 of which approximately $18,000 had been
     incurred as of September 30, 1999, in excess of the fair value of the net
     assets acquired of approximately $4,300,000.
(4)  Represents the contribution of the advance due the parent company of Ling
     to the equity of Ling prior to the acquisition.

been prepared to reflect the acquisition as if it occurred on October 1, 1997.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired
is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 7-year period. Pro forma net
loss per share has been computed using the weighted average shares of common
stock outstanding adjusted for the issuance of 770,000 shares in connection with
the acquisition.

    The following is a summary of adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro
forma combined consolidated statements of operations:

(1)  Represents the adjustment to depreciation expense to reflect the fair value
     of Ling's property, plant and equipment.
(2)  Represents the amortization of goodwill associated with the acquisition of
     Ling.
