         NOTES TO INTERIM 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 March 31, 2000 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 Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999, as amended. Operating
results for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future
interim period or for the entire fiscal year.



    The Company has restated its financial statements for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1999 and six-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The
restatement was prompted by the recently completed initial audit of the
financial statements of its affiliate, Beacon Power Corporation ("Beacon
Power"), and reflects treating certain costs as expenses rather than being
included in the value of the net assets of Beacon Power at December 24, 1997.
The Company previously had accounted for these costs either as fixed assets or
as part of the net assets of Beacon Power. As a result, certain costs previously
capitalized in 1996, 1997 and 1998 should have been expensed as incurred,
therefore reducing the Company's investment in Beacon Power by $3.1 million as
of December 24, 1997. The adjustments to the financial statements at
December 24, 1997, the date which the Company began accounting for its
investment in Beacon Power under the equity method of accounting, consisted of a
reduction of $37,000 from current assets, a reduction of $3.0 million from
property and equipment and intangible assets and an increase of $73,000 of
accrued expenses. There is no cumulative effect of this change on the Company's
stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2000, since the Company had reduced its
investment in Beacon Power to zero. The effect of this change on the reported
results for each period is as follows:

NOTE B.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Revenue from manufactured products is recognized upon shipment, or if the
product requires installation, then revenue is recognized upon installation of
the product. The Company provides for a warranty reserve at the time the product
revenue is recognized.


    The Company performs funded research and development in collaboration with
third parties under both cost reimbursement and fixed-price contracts. Cost
reimbursement contracts provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs and, in
some situations, the payment of a fee. These contracts may contain incentive
clauses providing for increases or decreases in the fee depending on how costs
compare with budget. On fixed-price contracts, revenue is generally recognized
on the percentage of completion method based upon the proportion of costs
incurred to the total estimated costs for the contract. Revenue from
reimbursement contracts is recognized as services are performed. In each form of
contract, the Company receives periodic progress payments or payment upon
reaching interim milestones. All payments to the Company for work performed on
contracts with agencies of the U.S. government are subject to audit and
adjustment by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. Adjustments are recognized in
the period made. When the current estimates of total contract revenue and
contract costs indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract
is recorded. As of March 31, 2000, the Company has accrued $50,000 for
anticipated contract losses.


    Deferred revenue consists of payments received from customers in advance of
services performed, product shipped or installation completed.

    Unbilled contract costs and fees represent revenue recognized in excess of
amounts billed due to contractual provisions or deferred costs that have not yet
been recognized as revenue or billed to the customer. These amounts included
retained fee and unliquidated costs totaling $163,689 and $282,746 at March 31,
2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

    Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current
year presentations. For all periods presented, expenses associated with funded
research and development activities have been reclassified as research and
development expenses from cost of revenue.

NOTE C.  SIGNIFICANT EVENTS


INVESTMENT IN BEACON POWER CORPORATION



    For the six months ended March 31, 2000, the Company did not record a loss
from its investment in Beacon Power. For the six months ended March 31, 1999,
the Company recorded a loss of $30,000 which represented the additional $30,000
committed investment from December 1998 and the recognition of a portion of the
suspended losses from Beacon Power. As of June 22, 1999, the Company's
investment in Beacon Power had been reduced to zero, and no additional losses
were recorded during the period from June 23, 1999 through March 31, 2000.



    On January 7, 2000, the Company purchased from Beacon Power a convertible
promissory note with a principal amount of $200,000. The note bore interest at
12 1/2% per annum and was repaid on February 14, 2000. On February 25, 2000, the
Company purchased from Beacon Power a convertible promissory note with a
principal amount of $300,000 due and payable on the earlier of (i) the maturity
date, as defined (the "Maturity Date"), or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event
of default by Beacon Power. The note bears interest at 12 1/2% per annum;
provided, that if the note is not repaid in full on or prior to the Maturity
Date, the interest rate increases to 15% per annum (the "February 25, 2000
Note"'). Interest on the February 25, 2000 Note is due and payable on the
Maturity Date. At March 31, 2000 the Company did not accrue losses up to
$300,000 relating to its share of Beacon Power's losses incurred through
March 31, 2000, as those amounts, including interest, were repaid on April 27,
2000.


INVESTMENT FROM MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY INCORPORATED

    On October 21, 1999, the Company received a $7,070,000 investment from
Mechanical Technology Incorporated ("MTI"). In consideration for MTI's
investment, MTI received 1,030,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.01
par value per share (the "Common Stock"), at a discounted price of approximately
$6.80 per share, and warrants to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.80 per share. MTI funded
$2,570,000 of its investment in the Company on October 21, 1999 and received
370,800 of the 1,030,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and a warrant to
purchase 36,000 of the 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. MTI made
the remaining investment on January 31, 2000 of $4,500,000 and received the
remaining 659,200 shares of the Company's Common Stock and a warrant to purchase
the remaining 64,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company incurred
approximately $95,000 of legal, accounting, consultation and filing fees in
connection with this transaction. In addition, the Company received a warrant to
purchase 36,000 shares of MTI's Common Stock on October 21, 1999 and a warrant
to purchase 64,000 shares of MTI's Common Stock on January 31, 2000 at exercise
prices of $37.66 per share.

    On November 16, 1999, the Company purchased certain intellectual property,
equipment and other assets from Northrop Grumman Corporation ("NGC"). These
assets were used by NGC in connection with its power electronics product
business. The Company also entered into (i) a sublease with NGC pursuant to
which it agreed to a five-year sublease for approximately 14,863 square feet of
rentable space in the Baltimore, Maryland area and (ii) a three-year Transition
Services Agreement providing the Company access to certain test facilities and
personnel of NGC on a fee basis. In consideration for these foregoing assets and
agreements, NGC received 578,761 shares of the Company's Common Stock value at
$8.3438 per share or $4,829,066. In addition, the Company issued to NGC a
warrant to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
at an exercise price of $9.725 per share. The Company has recorded the fair
value of this warrant, as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model,
of approximately $631,000 and approximately $119,000 of legal, accounting,
consultation and filing fees as a cost of this transaction. On February 4, 2000,
the Company issued to NGC an additional warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of

NOTE G.  SEGMENT DISCLOSURES

    As of October 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS No. 131 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. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise
about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in
deciding how to allocate resources and assess their performance.

    The Company's organizational structure is based on strategic business units
that offer various products to the principal markets in which the Company's
products are sold. These business units equate to three reportable segments:
research and development, power electronic products and motion control products.

    The Company provides research and development services in collaboration with
third-parties. Film Microelectronics, Inc designs and manufactures power
electronics products. The MagMotor Division and Ling Electronics specializes in
the engineering and manufacturing of motion control products.

    The Company evaluates performance based on revenue and profit and loss from
operations before income taxes, interest income, interest expense, other income
and losses and loss from investment in Beacon Power Corporation, excluding the
effects of amortization of intangible assets associated with

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS



    This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For this
purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical
fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the
foregoing, the words "believes", "anticipates", "plans", "expects", and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a
number of important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to
differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. The
factors include, without limitation, those set forth in Exhibit 99 to the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2000,
which are expressly incorporated by reference herein.



    The following discussion reflects restatement of our financial statements
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 and six-month periods ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999. The restatement was prompted by the recently completed
initial audit of the financial statements of our affiliate, Beacon Power
Corporation ("Beacon Power"), and reflects treating certain costs as expenses
rather than being included in the value of the net assets of Beacon Power at
December 24, 1997. SatCon Technology Corporation (the "Company" or "SatCon")
previously had accounted for these costs either as fixed assets or as part of
the net assets of Beacon Power. As a result, certain costs previously
capitalized in 1996, 1997 and 1998 should have been expensed as incurred,
therefore reducing SatCon's investment in Beacon Power by $3.1 million as of
December 24, 1997. The adjustments to SatCon's financial statements at December
24, 1997, which represents the date in which the Company began accounting for
its investment in Beacon Power under the equity method, consisted of a reduction
of $37,000 from current assets, a reduction of $3.0 million from property and
equipment and intangible assets and an increase of $73,000 of accrued expenses.
There is no cumulative effect of this change on SatCon's stockholders' equity as
of March 31, 2000, since SatCon had reduced its investment in Beacon Power to
zero.



    In addition, for all periods presented, expenses associated with funded
research and development activities have been reclassified as research and
development expenses from cost of revenue.


OVERVIEW


    SatCon develops enabling technologies for the emerging distributed power
generation and power quality markets. SatCon also manufactures power and energy
management products that convert, condition, store and manage electricity for
businesses and consumers that require high-quality, uninterruptible power.
SatCon is utilizing its engineering and manufacturing expertise to develop
products to serve the distributed power generation and power quality markets,
including products for fuel cell and microturbine power generation systems,
hybrid-electric vehicles and flywheel energy storage systems. SatCon believes
the family of products it is developing will be integral components of
distributed power generation and power quality systems.


    In the past three years, SatCon has expanded its business and capabilities
through the following acquisitions:

    - K&D MagMotor Corp.--a manufacturer of custom electric motors, acquired in
      January 1997.

    - Film Microelectronics, Inc.--a manufacturer of hybrid microelectronics,
      acquired in April 1997.

    - Inductive Components, Inc.--a value-added supplier of customized electric
      motors, acquired in January 1999.

    - Lighthouse Software, Inc.--a supplier of control software for machine
      tools, acquired in January 1999.

    - HyComp, Inc.--a manufacturer of electronic multi-chip modules, acquired in
      April 1999.

    - Ling Electronics, Inc.--a manufacturer of test equipment, power
      converters, amplifiers and converters, acquired in October 1999.

                                       15

All of these acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. In addition, in November 1999, the Company acquired intellectual
property, tooling and other assets from Northrop Grumman Corporation enabling
the Company to manufacture and sell electric drivetrains.


    On May 20, 1997, the Company formed Beacon Power. On October 23, 1998,
Beacon Power completed a $4.8 million private placement of its class D preferred
stock and warrants to third-party investors, and the Company relinquished
significant control of Beacon Power. From June 1999 through March 31, 2000,
Beacon Power was financed through the issuance of approximately $4.7 million of
bridge notes and warrants to its investors, including $1.0 million from the
Company. On April 7, 2000, Beacon Power issued 1,226,141 shares of its class E
preferred stock and 306,535 class E warrants in exchange for the conversion of
all of its outstanding bridge notes of which the Company received 347,407 shares
of Beacon Power's class E preferred stock and 86,852 class E warrants. On
April 21, 2000, Beacon Power raised an additional $4.1 million through the sale
of additional bridge notes that are convertible into Beacon Power's class F
preferred stock. The Company did not participate in this financing.



    The results of the Company's operations include $3.1 million loss of Beacon
Power from May 8, 1997 to December 24, 1997 under the consolidation method of
accounting. As a result of a recapitalization of Beacon Power on December 24,
1997, the Company began accounting for its investment in Beacon Power using the
equity method and has included $1.9 million loss of Beacon Power for the period
from December 25, 1997 through June 1998, which equaled its initial investment
in Beacon Power. In connection with the additional investment by outside third
parties on October 23, 1998, the Company committed $30,000 to Beacon Power and,
accordingly, recorded a $30,000 loss from its investment in Beacon Power
representing a portion of the suspended losses as of October 23, 1998. For the
period October 24, 1998 through June 21, 1999, the Company recorded no
additional losses of Beacon Power as its investment in Beacon Power had been
reduced to zero as of October 23, 1998. In June and August 1999, Beacon received
$3.0 million of additional financing commitments, including $1.0 million from
the Company. As a result of this additional commitment, the Company has included
$1.0 million loss from its investment in Beacon Power representing a portion of
the suspended losses as of June 22, 1999. For the period June 23, 1999 through
September 30, 1999, the Company recorded no additional losses of Beacon Power as
its investment in Beacon Power had been reduced to zero as of June 22, 1999. As
of March 31, 2000, the Company has no obligations to provide any additional
funding to Beacon.


    The Company performs funded research and development in collaboration with
third parties under both cost reimbursement and fixed-price contracts. Cost
reimbursement contracts provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs, an in
some situations, the payment of a fee. These contracts may contain incentive
clauses providing for increases or decreases in fees depending on how costs
compare with a budget. On fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized on the
percentage of completion method based upon the proportion of costs incurred to
the total estimated costs for the contract. Revenue from reimbursement contracts
is recognized as services are performed. Revenue from manufactured products is
recognized upon shipment, or, if the product requires installation, the revenue
is recognized upon installation of the product.

    The Company has incurred significant costs to develop its technology and
products. These cost have exceeded total revenue. As a result, the Company has
incurred net losses in each of the past five fiscal years and for the six months
ended March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of $29.7 million. The Company intends to significantly increase its
capital expenditures and operating expenses to rapidly expand its manufacturing
capabilities and for general corporate purposes, including product development
activities, sales and marketing and administrative activities. Because the
Company expects to continue to invest in its business ahead of anticipated
future revenues, the Company expects to incur operating losses for at least the
next two years.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


    COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND MARCH 31, 1999 (AS
     RESTATED)


    PRODUCT REVENUE.  Product revenue increased by $3.9 million or 219% from
$1.8 million to $5.6 million. This increase was attributable to $2.7 million in
revenue from Ling Electronics and a $1.1 million

                                       16
<PAGE>
increase in revenue from the Company's microelectronics products, high
performance motors and magnetic levitation products.

    FUNDED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REVENUE.  Funded research and development
revenue was substantially unchanged at $1.9 million for each period. During the
three months ended March 31, 2000 the Company devoted more resources to
internally funded research and development programs including development of
power conversion products for the distributed power generation market.

    GROSS MARGIN.  Gross margin increased by $911,000 or 52% from $1.7 million
to $2.7 million. Gross margin from products increased by $906,000 and gross
margin from product revenue as a percentage of product revenue increased to 14%
from (8%). The improvement in gross margin from product revenue as a percentage
of revenue is due to improved plant utilization at MagMotor due to higher
revenue and gross margin from Ling Electronics.


    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses
increased by $427,000 or 29% from $1.5 million to $1.9 million. The increase was
attributable to the Company's increased focus on internally funded research and
development projects including the development of power conversion products for
the distributed power generation market.



    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million or 135% from $1.0 million to
$2.4 million. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of $725,000 of
costs from Ling Electronics, $300,000 of costs for facilities and staffing in an
effort to meet expected growth and demand for our products and in 1999, the
deferral of $400,000 of costs associated with a research and development
contract.


    AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES.  Amortization of intangibles increased by
$235,000 or 250% from $94,000 to $329,000. This increase was the result of
amortization of intangibles recorded in connection with the acquisitions of
Inductive and Lighthouse in January 1999, Ling Electronics in October 1999 and
certain intellectual property and other intangible assets from Northrop Grumman
Corporation in November 1999.


    LOSS FROM INVESTMENT IN BEACON POWER CORPORATION.  For the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 the Company did not record a loss from its
investment in Beacon Power. As of September 30, 1998, the Company's remaining
initial investment of $1.9 million had been reduced to zero and as of June 22,
1999, the Company's additional $1.0 million investment in Beacon Power had been
reduced to zero as a result of the recognition of a portion of the suspended
losses in Beacon Power and no additional losses were recorded during the period
from June 23, 1999 through March 31, 2000.


    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Other income, net increased to $99,000 from
$26,000 of other expense, net. The increase was the result of an increase in
cash and cash equivalents being maintained in interest bearing accounts, offset
by interest expense associated with capital leases entered into during fiscal
year 1999.


    COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 (AS RESTATED) AND MARCH 31,
     1999 (AS RESTATED)


    PRODUCT REVENUE.  Product revenue increased by $5.0 million or 134% from
$3.8 million to $8.8 million. This increase was attributable to $3.5 million in
revenue from Ling Electronics and a $1.5 million increase in revenue from the
Company's microelectronics products, high performance motors and magnetic
levitation products.

    FUNDED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REVENUE.  Funded research and development
revenue decreased by $330,000 or 9% from $3.6 million to $3.3 million. During
the six months ended March 31, 2000 the Company devoted more resources to
internally funded research and development programs including the development of
power conversion products for the distributed power generation market.

    GROSS MARGIN.  Gross margin increased by $265,000 or 7% from $3.9 million to
$4.2 million. Gross margin from products increased by $595,000 and gross margin
from product revenue as a percentage of product revenue increased to 10% from
9%. The improvement in gross margin from product revenue as a percentage of
product revenue is due to gross margin from Ling Electronics, offset by a
decrease in gross

                                       17
<PAGE>
margin from the Company's microelectronics products, high performance motors and
magnetic levitation products.


    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses
increased by $722,000 or 25% from $2.9 million to $3.6 million. The increase was
attributable to the Company's increased focus on internally funded research
projects including the development of power conversion products for the
distributed power generation market.



    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $2.4 million or 121% from $2.0 million to
$4.5 million. The increase was primarily due to $1.2 million of costs from Ling
Electronics, $600,000 of costs for facilities and staffing in an effort to meet
expected growth and demand for our products and in 1999, the deferral of
$700,000 of costs associated with a research and development contract.


    AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES.  Amortization of intangibles increased $400,000
or 233% from $172,000 to $572,000. This increase was the result of amortization
of intangibles recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Inductive and
Lighthouse in January 1999, Ling Electronics in October 1999 and certain
intellectual property and other intangible assets from Northrop Grumman
Corporation in November 1999.


    LOSS FROM INVESTMENT IN BEACON POWER CORPORATION.  For the six months ended
March 31, 2000, the Company did not record a loss from its investment in Beacon
Power. As of September 30, 1998, the Company's remaining initial investment of
$1.9 million had been reduced to zero and as of June 22, 1999, the Company's
additional $1.0 million investment in Beacon Power had been reduced to zero, as
a result of the recognition of a portion of the suspended losses in Beacon Power
and no additional losses were recorded during the period from June 23, 1999
through March 31, 2000. During December 1998, the Company committed an
additional $30,000 in financing to Beacon Power and accordingly, recorded a
$30,000 loss from its investment in Beacon Power representing a portion of its
suspended losses from Beacon Power.


    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Other income, net increased to $130,000 from
$5,000 of other expense, net. The increase was the result of an increase in cash
and cash equivalents being maintained in interest bearing accounts, offset by
interest expense associated with capital leases entered into during fiscal year
1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Since inception, the Company has financed its operations and met its capital
expenditure requirements primarily through the sale of private equity
securities, public security offerings, borrowings on its line of credit and
capital equipment leases.

    As of March 31, 2000, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were
$9.7 million, an increase of $7.2 million from September 30, 1999. Cash used in
operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $4.8 million as
compared to $2.1 million in 1999. Cash used in operating activities during the
six months ended March 31, 2000 was primarily attributable to the Company's net
loss and an increase in accounts receivable partially offset by depreciation and
amortization.


    Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2000
was $1.1 million as compared to $250,000 in 1999. Net cash used in investing
activities during the six months ended March 31, 2000 included capital
expenditures of $368,000, an investment in Beacon Power of $333,000 and a loan
to Beacon Power for $300,000, which was repaid on April 27, 2000. The Company
estimates that it will spend an additional $2.0 million on capital expenditures
during the next 12 months primarily at its Advanced Fuel Cell Division to expand
its capacity to manufacture its power conversion products. The Company expects
these additions will be financed from cash on hand and from lease financing.



    Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended March 31,
2000 was $13.2 million as compared to $1.3 million in 1999. Net cash provided by
financing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2000 includes net
proceeds of $7.0 million from the sale of the Company's Common Stock and
$6.2 million from the exercise of Common Stock options and warrants.


                                       18
<PAGE>

    The Company anticipates that the existing $9.7 million in cash and cash
equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve
months. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not require
additional financings within this time frame or that any additional financing,
if needed, will be available to the Company on terms acceptable to the Company,
if any.


EFFECTS OF INFLATION

    The Company believes that inflation and changing prices over the past three
years have not had a significant impact on its net revenue or on its income from
continuing operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 (SFAS No. 137), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 133," which defers the effective date of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS No. 133), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" to all fiscal quarters of all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes a new model
for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. It requires an entity to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position and measure these instruments at fair value. We will adopt
SFAS No. 133 beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2001. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS
No. 133 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of
operations.

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Bulletin No. 101 (SAB No. 101), "Revenue Recognition." This bulletin, as
amended, establishes guidelines for revenue recognition and is effective for all
periods beginning after March 15, 2000. The Company does not expect that the
adoption of the guidance required by SAB No. 101 will have a material impact on
its financial condition or results of operations.

    In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44 "Accounting for Certain
Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion
No. 25." This interpretation clarifies the application of Opinion No. 25,
including (a) the definition of employees for purposes of applying Opinion
No. 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
noncompensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequences of various modifications
to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting
for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. The
Interpretation is effective July 1, 2000 and the effects of applying the
Interpretation are recognized on a prospective basis. The Company does not
expect that the adoption of this Interpretation will have a material impact on
its financial condition or results of operations.


ITEM 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


    The Company develops products in the United States and sells them worldwide.
As a result, the Company's financial results could be affected by factors such
as changes in foreign exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign
markets. Since the Company's sales are currently priced in U.S. dollars and are
translated to local currency amounts, a strengthening of the dollar could make
the Company's products less competitive in foreign markets. Interest income and
expense are sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates,
particularly since the Company's investments are in short-term instruments and
the Company's available line of credit requires interest payments calculated at
variable rates. Based on the nature and current levels of the Company's
investments and debt, however, the Company has concluded that there is no
material market risk exposure.

                          PART II:  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:

    On November 6, 1999, APACE, Inc. commenced an action against the Company in
the Supreme Court of the State of New York claiming the Company had been awarded
a prime contract by the U.S. Department of Energy and that the Company had
failed or refused to negotiate a subcontract with APACE. APACE is seeking
$1,000,000 in damages. The Company denied the allegations, moved to stay the
action and filed for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association in
Boston, Massachusetts. The American Arbitration Association decided that the
arbitration would go forward in Boston. In the meantime, APACE requested that
the court permit the action to go forward and for the arbitration to be stayed.
On March 21, 2000, the Supreme Court of the State of New York issued an order
compelling arbitration and staying APACE's action pending arbitration to be
conducted by the American Arbitration Association in Boston. At this time, the
arbitration is still going forward in Boston, and an arbitrator has been
selected. The arbitration is scheduled to commence on June 1, 2000.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS:

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

    On October 21, 1999, in connection with an investment, the Company issued
370,800 shares of its Common Stock to Mechanical Technology Incorporated. In
addition, the Company issued to Mechanical Technology Incorporated a warrant to
purchase 36,000 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.80 per

connection with a second closing of this investment, the Company issued 659,200
shares of its Common Stock and a warrant to purchase 64,000 shares of its Common
Stock at an exercise price of $8.80 per share. This warrant expires on
January 31, 2004. Both the Common Stock and the warrants were issued in reliance
upon the exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
