                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. GENERAL

The unaudited financial information furnished herein has been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and reflects all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the
opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company's financial
position, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods
presented. 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may
be material to the financial statements. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997. The results of operations for the three months and six months
ended June 27, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire
fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.

The Company reports on a 13-week quarter period ending on the Saturday nearest
the calendar quarter end. The Company's fiscal year-end is December 31.


B. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first out) or market and
consist of the following:

</TABLE>


C. PER SHARE INFORMATION

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in each
year. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders plus income associated with dilutive securities by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus any potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock in each year. Potential Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of options and warrants to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock (and conversion of the outstanding Preferred Stock to
Common Stock) is not included as the result would have been antidilutive
considering the Company's reported net loss from operations for all periods
presented.

D. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On March 26, 1998, the Company completed a private placement of 500,000 shares
of Series A 6% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Shares") to
certain investors at $6.00 per share. The proceeds of the offering, net of
offering expenses, totaled approximately $3 million. Each Preferred Share is
convertible into two shares of Common Stock at $3 per share and carries a
cumulative dividend of 6% per annum. The Preferred Shares also have voting
rights and liquidation preferences. The Preferred Shares are not redeemable
prior to March 26, 2001. Thereafter, the Company may redeem the Preferred Shares
at 110% of the carrying amount plus accrued dividends. Subsequent to March 26,
2005, the holders of the Preferred Shares have the option to redeem the
Preferred Shares at their carrying amount plus accrued dividends. The Company
has an option, exercisable through March 26, 1999, to sell up to an additional
$2 million of Preferred Shares under the same terms provided the Company meets a
certain milestone.

E. FINANCING

The Company has firm commitments to receive $2.5 million of debt financing from
two financial institutions. The first facility is to provide $1.0 million in
equipment financing on a sale/leaseback arrangement over a six-month period. The
other facility is to provide $1.5 million of a revolving line of credit, of
which $.5 million can be converted into a term loan supported by equipment for a
36-month period. Both agreements are subject to documentation and final due
diligence. In addition, the Company has an option to exercise an additional $2
million of Preferred Shares provided it meets a certain milestone (see "Private
Placement"). The Company believes that the debt financing facilities and the
option exercise for preferred shares will provide adequate financing to meet its
operational needs over the next 12 months. However, in the event that the debt
financing is not successfully executed or the preferred share option is not
exercised, the Company will be required to seek alternative financing. There can
be no assurance that such alternative financing would be available on terms
acceptable to the Company, if at all. Depending upon the timing of market
acceptance of the Company's products and the manufacturing ramp-up necessary to
support the market acceptance, additional working capital financing may be
required to fully implement the Company's business plan. Under such
circumstances, the Company's inability to fully implement its business plan,
including the procurement of additional financing, would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.


F. NEWLY ISSUED FINANCIAL REPORTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 becomes effective for the Company
in 2000. The adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's financial statement disclosures.


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 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are in "Results of
Operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 27, 1998 and
June 27, 1997" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources". These statements represent
the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events and include
statements, among others, regarding commercial revenues and the Company's
financial resources. Actual results could differ materially from those projected
in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth
herein. Investors are strongly encouraged to review the section entitled
"Factors Affecting Future Business Operations" for a discussion of factors that
could affect future performance.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 27,
1998 AND JUNE 28, 1997

Total net revenues decreased by $114,000, or 5%, from $2,354,000 in the second
quarter of 1997 to $2,240,000 in the second quarter of 1998. Net revenues
decreased by $328,000, or 7%, from $4,472,000 in the first six months of 1997 to
$4,144,000 in the first six months of 1998. These changes are due to decreases
in government contract revenues offset by increases in commercial revenues.

Government contract revenues decreased by $355,000, or 15%, from $2,340,000 in
the second quarter of 1997 to $1,985,000 in the second quarter of 1998.
Government contract revenues decreased by $769,000, or 17%, from $4,445,000 in
the first six months of 1997 to $3,676,000 in the first six months of 1998.
These decreases are attributable to the completion of certain government
programs and the transition period associated with entering into new government
contracts.

Commercial product revenues increased $241,000 from $14,000 in the second
quarter of 1997 to $255,000 in the second quarter of 1998. Commercial product
revenues increased $441,000 from $27,000 in the first six months of 1997 to
$468,000 in the first six months of 1998. These increases are due to increased
shipments of the Company's commercial products.


                                       6

<PAGE>   7

As the Company continues to focus on its commercial products, commercial product
revenues are expected to increase as a percentage of revenues over the next
several quarters; however, there can be no assurance that such commercial
revenues will increase. Furthermore, as the Company attempts to achieve
commercialization of products, it could encounter seasonality or other currently
unforeseen factors causing additional variability in its results.

The cost of commercial revenues was $1,486,000 for the second quarter of 1998
and $2,519,000 in the first six months of 1998. This represents an increase over
1997 in cost of commercial revenues and related start-up costs to support the
increase in commercial sales and manufacturing capacity.

Total research and development expenses decreased by $357,000, or 19%, from
$1,929,000 in the second quarter of 1997 to $1,572,000 in the second quarter of
1998. Total research and development expenses decreased by $703,000, or 19%,
from $3,751,000 in the first six months of 1997 to $3,048,000 in the first six
months of 1998. The Company's continued focus on commercial production and
ramp-up of manufacturing capacity has directly contributed to the decline in
research and development expenses.

Contract research and development expenses decreased by $427,000, or 28%, from
$1,504,000 in the second quarter of 1997 to $1,077,000 in the second quarter of
1998. Contract research and development expenses decreased by $574,000, or 19%,
from $2,974,000 in the first six months of 1997 to $2,400,000 in the first six
months of 1998. These decreases are attributable to the decreases in contract
revenues, which are directly related to contract research and development
expenses.

Other research and development expenses increased by $70,000, or 16%, from
$425,000 in the second quarter of 1998 to $495,000 in the second quarter of
1998. This increase is due to efforts to improve the process development and
manufacturability of the commercial products. Other research and development
expenses decreased by $129,000, or 17%, from $777,000 in the first six months of
1997 to $648,000 in the first six months of 1998.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $422,000, or 43%, from
$971,000 in the second quarter of 1997 to $1,393,000 in the second quarter of
1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $833,000, or 46%
from $1,807,000 in the first six months of 1997 to $2,640,000 in the first six
months of 1998. These increases are due to increased labor-related expenses,
attributable to the expansion of the Company's sales force, as well as increased
efforts in the Company's marketing program as had been anticipated.

Interest income decreased by $26,000, or 43%, from $60,000 in the second quarter
of 1997 to $34,000 in the second quarter of 1998. Interest income decreased by
$93,000, or 64%, from $145,000 in the first six months of 1997 to $52,000 in the
first six months of 1998. The decreases in interest income are primarily due to
withdrawal of interest-earning investment balances utilized by the Company to
fund and expand operations.

Interest expense decreased by $3,000, or 33%, from $9,000 in the second quarter
of 1997 to $6,000 in the second quarter of 1998. Interest expense decreased by
$12,000, or 60%, from $20,000 in the first six months of 1997 to $8,000 in the
first six months of 1998. These decreases are attributable to the reduction in
the Company's long-term portion of note payable and capitalized lease
obligations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased by $1,999,000, or
57%, from $3,537,000 on December 31, 1997 to $1,538,000 on June 27, 1998. The
decrease is the result of operating losses of $4.0 million and purchases of new
equipment in the amount of $1.6 million for expansion of manufacturing
operations offset by a private placement of $3.0 million in the first quarter of
1998.

The Company's principal resource commitments at June 27, 1998 consist of
accounts payable and accrued employee compensation of $2,249,000 and $718,000,
respectively, and approximately $198,000 of equipment financing commitments.

 The Company has firm commitments to receive $2.5 million of debt financing from
two financial institutions. The first facility is to provide $1.0 million in
equipment financing on a sale/leaseback arrangement over a six-month period. The
other facility is to provide $1.5 million of a revolving line of credit, of

circumstances, the Company's inability to fully implement its business plan,
including the procurement of additional financing, would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

The Company currently uses a limited number of software products that are not
Year 2000 compliant. However, the Company currently has acquired manufacturing
software in order to support its expansion efforts. The new software is Year
2000 compliant and replaces substantially all non-Year 2000 compliant software.
Accordingly, the Company does not expect the amounts required to be expensed to
become Year 2000 compliant to have a material effect on its business, operating
results or financial condition.


FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE BUSINESS OPERATIONS

EARLY STAGE OF THE COMMERCIAL SUPERCONDUCTOR PRODUCTS MARKET: MARKET ACCEPTANCE
AND RELIABILITY 

The commercial superconductor products market has experienced limited product
commercialization to date. Moreover, since inception, the Company has been
principally engaged in research and development activities and has only limited
experience in the commercialization of its products. The Company's ability to
grow will depend on its ability to successfully transition its expertise in HTS
filter and cryogenics technologies and applications to commercial markets,
including the wireless communications market. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to produce its products in volume or that any of the
Company's products will achieve market acceptance. The failure to produce
products in volume or achieve market acceptance would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

DEPENDENCE ON SALES TO SERVICE PROVIDERS AND OEMS

To gain market acceptance, the Company must demonstrate that its products will
provide advantages to service providers who utilize base station systems and
OEMs that manufacture base station systems. These advantages include a decrease
in system size, an increase in range extension and a reduction in interference.
There can be no assurance that upon acceptance, the Company's products will be
able to achieve any of these advantages. Moreover, even if the Company is able
to demonstrate such advantages, there can be no assurance that service providers
and OEMs will elect to incorporate the Company's products into their systems or,
if they do, that related system and manufacturing requirements can or will be
met.

LIMITED MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE

To date, the Company has sold products only in limited quantities, primarily for
use in field-testing as well as development and prototypes. During the first
half of 1998 the Company has significantly increased its manufacturing capacity
in order to meet the increased demand for its products as well as for expected
future requirements. While the Company has increased its manufacturing capacity,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in overcoming the
technological, engineering and management challenges associated with the
production of commercial quantities of superconducting or cryogenic products at
acceptable costs and on a timely basis.


                                       8

<PAGE>   9

HIGH DEGREE OF DEPENDENCE ON GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

A significant portion of the Company's revenues have historically consisted of
government research and development contract revenues. The Company expects that
government contract revenues will continue to account for a substantial portion
of total net revenues over the next several quarters. Government contract
revenues have historically fluctuated from period to period. This variability is
attributable to government contract budgeting and funding patterns, as the
government procurement process is lengthy and may involve competing budget
considerations, making the timing of the Company's revenues difficult to
predict. Funds authorized by the government under any development contract may
be reduced or eliminated at any time, and there can be no assurance that the
Company will receive all or any part of the funds under any of the Company's
existing government contracts not yet performed.

UNCERTAINTY OF PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

The Company relies on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret and
copyright law and internal procedures and nondisclosure agreements to protect
its intellectual property. There can be no assurance that the Company's
intellectual property rights can be successfully asserted in the future or will
not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. In addition, the laws of certain
foreign countries in which the Company's products may be produced or sold do not
protect the Company's intellectual property rights to the same extent as the
laws of the United States. The failure of the Company to protect its proprietary
information could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
results of operations and financial condition.
