SATCON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
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 June 30, 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 nine-month periods ended June 30, 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 and
nine-month periods ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2000, since the
5

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 June 30, 2000, the Company has accrued $150,000 for

PREFERRED STOCK CONVERSION
On March 7, 2000, the preferred stockholders elected to convert all 8,000
shares of the redeemable preferred stock into 1,025,641 shares of the Company's
Common Stock, which resulted in the accretion of the remaining discount of
$2,789,031 on redeemable preferred stock.
SHARES RELEASED FROM ESCROW
On April 26, 2000, the Company released 42,860 shares of common stock that
were held in escrow for Albert R. Snider that had been issued on March 9, 1999
in exchange for consulting, advisory and related services the Company may
reasonably request from time to time between October 1, 1999 and September 30,
2002. The Company marked to-market these securities until they were released
from escrow at a market price of $16.00 per share or $685,760. The Company
determined that the fair market value of these securities exceeded the net
realizable value of the underlying services to be received by $235,760. The
Company has charged this amount to selling, general and administrative expenses
during the three months ended June 30, 2000. The Company is amortizing the
realizable asset of $450,000 over the period of service through September 30,
2002. At June 30, 2000, the unamortized value of this asset is $337,500.

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 specialize 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 acquisitions.
Common costs not directly attributable to a particular segment are allocated
among segments based on management's estimates.

NOTE H. LEGAL MATTERS
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, allegedly in breach of
a contract between the Company and APACE. APACE is seeking in excess of
$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 scheduled to go forward in Boston, and an
arbitrator has been selected. The parties have exchanged discovery. The
arbitration is scheduled to commence on September 18, 2000 and proceed for nine
days during September and October 2000.
On June 26, 2000, APACE served the Company with an amended answering
statement and counterclaim, including additional allegations that the Company
has engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices and that the Company's
actions were willful and knowing. Based on these allegations, APACE is seeking
multiple damages, as well as attorneys' fees and expenses. On July 19, 2000, the
Company filed an answer to APACE's amended answering statement and counterclaim,
denying the allegations and asserting various defenses.

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 this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are expressly incorporated by reference
herein.
The following discussion reflects restatement of our financial statements
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1999. The restatement
was prompted by the recently completed initial audit of the financial statements
of our affiliate, Beacon Power Corporation, 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 our financial statements at December 24,
1997, which represents the date in which we began accounting for our 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
June 30, 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.
16
<PAGE>
- Ling Electronics, Inc.--a manufacturer of test equipment, power
converters, amplifiers and converters, acquired in October 1999.
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 Series 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. On May 23, 2000, Beacon Power raised an additional
$28.5 million through the sale of 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 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 June 30, 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 nine
months ended June 30, 2000. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of $32.2 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
17
<PAGE>
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.

PRODUCT REVENUE. Product revenue increased by $2.8 million or 108% from
$2.6 million to $5.5 million. This increase was attributable to $1.7 million in
revenue from Ling Electronics and a $1.1 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 increased by $1.8 million or 120% from $1.5 million to $3.2 million.
This increase was primarily attributable to $1.7 million funded research and
development revenue from a Department of Energy program to develop low-cost
power conversion modules for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles.
GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin increased by $3.3 million or 410% from $804,000
to $4.1 million. Gross margin from products increased by $1.5 million and funded
research and development increased by $1.8 million. Gross margin from product
revenue as a percentage of product revenue increased to 16% from (25%). The
improvement in gross margin from product revenue as a percentage of revenue is
due to improved plant utilization at MagMotor and Film Microelectronics, due to
higher revenue and gross margin from Ling Electronics.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by $2.6 million or 51% from $5.2 million to
$2.6 million. The decrease was primarily due to the recording of $2.2 million of
non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of stock
options and warrants to consultants and $1.0 million of additional reserves for
unbilled contract costs and accounts receivable in 1999. These decreases were
offset by the inclusion of $728,000 of costs from Ling Electronics.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased by $1.8 million or 85% from $2.1 million to $3.9 million. The increase
was attributable to the $1.9 million increase in funded research and development
revenue as well as 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.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES. Amortization of intangibles increased by
$222,000 or 220% from $101,000 to $323,000. This increase was the result of
amortization of intangibles recorded in connection with the acquisitions of 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 June 30, 2000, the Company did not record a loss from its investment in
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 June 30, 2000. During June 1999, we committed an
additional $1.0 million in financing to Beacon Power and accordingly, recorded a
$1.0 million loss from our investment in Beacon Power representing a portion of
our suspended losses from Beacon Power.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Other income, net increased to $146,000 from
$187,000 of other expense, net. The increase was the result of an increase in
cash and cash equivalents being maintained in interest bearing accounts and a
decrease of interest expense associated with the Company's line of credit.

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND JUNE 30, 1999 (AS
RESTATED)
PRODUCT REVENUE. Product revenue increased by $7.9 million or 123% from
$6.4 million to $14.3 million. This increase was attributable to $5.2 million in
revenue from Ling Electronics and a $2.7 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 increased by $1.4 million or 28% from $5.1 million to $6.5 million. This
increase was attributable to $3.2 million funded research and development
revenue from a Department of Energy program to develop low-cost power conversion
modules for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles partially offset by the
Company's increased focus on internally funded research projects including the
development of power conversion products for the distributed power generation
market.
GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin increased by $3.6 million or 75% from
$4.8 million to $8.3 million. Gross margin from products increased by
$2.1 million and funded research and development increased by $1.4 million.
Gross margin from product revenue as a percentage of product revenue increased
to 13% from (5%). The improvement in gross margin from product revenue as a
percentage of product revenue is due to improved plant utilization at MagMotor
and Film Microelectronics, Inc. due to higher revenue and gross margin from Ling
Electronics.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by $186,000 or 3% from $7.2 million to
$7.0 million. The decrease was primarily due to the recording of $2.2 million of
non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of stock
options and warrants to consultants and $1.0 million of additional reserves for
unbilled contract costs and accounts receivable in 1999. These decreases were
offset by the inclusion of $1.9 million of costs from Ling Electronics, and
$900,000 of costs for facilities and staffing in an effort to meet expected
growth and demand for our products.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
increased by $2.5 million or 50% from $5.0 million to $7.6 million. The increase
was attributable to the $1.4 million increase in funded research and development
revenue as well as the Company's increased focus on internally funded research
projects including the development of power conversion products for the
distributed power generation market.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES. Amortization of intangibles increased $622,000
or 228% from $273,000 to $895,000. 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 nine months ended
June 30, 2000, the Company did not record a loss from its investment in Beacon
Power. For the nine months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a loss of
$1.0 million. As of June 30, 1999, the Company's investment in Beacon Power had
been reduced to zero and no additional losses were recorded during the period
October 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Other income, net increased to $276,000 from
$193,000 of other expense, net. The increase was the result of an increase in
cash and cash equivalents being maintained in interest bearing accounts and a
decrease of interest expense associated with the Company's line of credit.

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 June 30, 2000, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were
$9.6 million, an increase of $7.0 million from September 30, 1999. Cash used in
operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 was $4.6 million as
compared to $3.0 million in 1999. Cash used in operating activities during the
nine months ended June 30, 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 nine months ended June 30, 2000
was $1.5 million as compared to $793,000 in 1999. Net cash used in investing
activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2000 included capital
expenditures of $1.0 million and an investment in Beacon of $333,000. 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 nine months ended June 30,
2000 was $13.1 million as compared to $3.1 million in 1999. Net cash provided by
financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2000 includes net
proceeds of $7.0 million from the sale of the Company's common stock and
$6.5 million from the exercise of common stock options and warrants.
The Company anticipates that the existing $9.6 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 at all.
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
fiscal 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.

<PAGE>
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, allegedly in breach of
a contract between the Company and APACE. APACE is seeking in excess of
$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 scheduled to go forward in Boston, and an
arbitrator has been selected. The parties have exchanged discovery. The
arbitration is scheduled to commence on September 18, 2000 and proceed for nine
days during September and October 2000.
On June 26, 2000, APACE served the Company with an amended answering
statement and counterclaim, including additional allegations that the Company
has engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices and that the Company's
actions were willful and knowing. Based on these allegations, APACE is seeking
multiple damages, as well as attorneys' fees and expenses. On July 19, 2000, the
Company filed an answer to APACE's amended answering statement and counterclaim,
denying the allegations and asserting various defenses.
Disclosure relating to this matter was previously set forth in the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 1999
and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2000.
From time to time, the Company is a party to routine litigation and
proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not aware of any
current or pending litigation to which the Company is or may be a party that the
Company believes could materially adversely affect its results of operations or
financial condition.
