the cost of conventional power generation in many locations around the world. Various governments have used different policy initiatives to encourage or accelerate the development and adoption of wind energy and other renewable energy sources.
Renewable energy policies are in place in the European Union, most notably Germany and Spain, certain countries in Asia, including China, Japan and South Korea, and many of the states in Australia and the United States. Examples of government
sponsored financial incentives include capital cost rebates, feed-in tariffs, tax credits, net metering and other incentives to end-users, distributors, system integrators and manufacturers of wind energy products to promote the use of wind energy
and to reduce dependency on other forms of energy. Governments may decide to reduce or eliminate these economic incentives for political, financial or other reasons. Reductions in, or eliminations of, government subsidies and economic incentives
before the wind energy industry reaches a sufficient scale to be cost-effective in a non-subsidized marketplace could reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our business prospects and results of operations. </FONT></P> <P

settlement of expenses and profit on work completed prior to termination. In addition to the right of the U.S. government to terminate its contracts with us, U.S. government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing approval by Congress of the
necessary spending to honor such contracts. Congress often appropriates funds for a program on a fiscal-year basis even though contract performance may take more than one year. Consequently, at the beginning of many major governmental programs,
contracts often may not be fully funded, and additional monies are then committed to the contract only if, as and when appropriations are made by Congress for future fiscal years. We cannot be certain that our U.S. government contracts will not be
terminated or suspended in the future. The U.S. government&#146;s termination of, or failure to fully fund, one or more of our contracts would have a negative impact on our operating results and financial condition. Further, in the event that any of
our government contracts are terminated for cause, it could affect our ability to obtain future government contracts which could, in turn, seriously harm our ability to develop our technologies and products. </FONT></P> <P

book value as of March&nbsp;31, 2007 was approximately $85,650,000, or $2.45 per share. Net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the aggregate number of shares of our common stock
outstanding. After giving effect to the sale of 4,700,000 shares of our common stock in this offering, at an assumed public offering price of $22.26 per share, the last sale price of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market on July
6, 2007, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value at March&nbsp;31, 2007 would have been approximately $183,663,168, or $4.62 per share. This represents
an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share of $2.17 to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $17.64 per share to new investors. Dilution per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by the new
investors in this offering and the net tangible book value per share at March&nbsp;31, 2007, giving effect to this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution to new investors. </FONT></P>  <P

solutions based on two proprietary technologies: programmable power electronic converters and high temperature superconductor, or HTS, wires.&nbsp;Our products, services and system-level solutions enable cleaner, more efficient and more reliable
generation, delivery and use of electric power.&nbsp;The programmability and scalability of our power electronic converters differentiates them from most competitive offerings.&nbsp;Our HTS wires carry 150 times the electrical current of comparably
sized copper wire. The two primary markets we serve are the wind energy market and the power transmission and distribution&#151;or &#147;power grid&#148;&#151;market. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our HTS wire addresses constraints on the power grid by increasing the electric current carrying capacity of the
transmission cables comprising these power grids and by providing for the manufacture of controllable alternating current power cables. In addition, our HTS wire, when incorporated into primary electrical equipment such as motors and generators, can
provide increased manufacturing and operating savings due to a significant reduction in the size and weight of this equipment. Also, our power electronic converters increase the quantity, quality and reliability of electric power that is transmitted
by electric utilities or consumed by large industrial entities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Our products are in varying stages of commercialization. Our power electronic converters have been sold commercially, as part of an integrated system, to utilities, industrial manufacturers and wind farm developers, owners and operators
since 1999. Our HTS wire has been produced commercially since the beginning of 2003, although its principal applications (power cables, fault current limiters, rotating machines and specialty magnets) are currently in the prototype stage. Some of
these prototypes are funded by U.S. government contracts, primarily with the Department of Defense, or DOD, and Department of Energy, or DOE. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

subjecting it to more financial risk in the event of unanticipated cost overruns. During the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, a crack was discovered in a non-superconductor component of the 36.5 megawatt, or MW, motor that required repair. This
event caused an unanticipated cost overrun on the Navy 36.5 MW contract that resulted in an estimated loss on this program of approximately $1,616,000 being recorded in the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. The crack was fully repaired and
reassembly of the motor was completed in February 2007. However, additional technical issues occurred during the initial phase of factory acceptance testing in late February 2007, causing additional delays and cost overruns that led to a $1,489,000
increase in the estimated loss on this program to $3,105,000. The motor successfully passed factory acceptance testing at the end of March 2007 and was delivered to the Navy in June 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

now been fully prepared, the cryogenics system has been completed and is operating, the cables have been manufactured and underground installation began in the spring of 2007. Commissioning of the cable system is scheduled for the fall of 2007. In
March 2007, the DOE released the remaining incremental funding up to the then-current authorized contract ceiling of $23,456,000, which allowed us to recognize revenue of $2,721,000 during the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 related to costs which
had previously been deferred and recorded as inventory as of December&nbsp;31, 2006. In May 2007, the DOE awarded us a contract modification of $4,002,000 to cover subcontractor cost growth on the LIPA project, increasing the contract ceiling to
$27,458,000. On March&nbsp;31, 2007, as a result of this contract modification being anticipated, we inventoried costs of $1,127,000 incurred in excess of the then-current contract ceiling of $23,456,000 as management deemed that future funding
sufficient to cover these deferred costs was probable. These inventoried costs as of March&nbsp;31, </FONT>

approximately 180,000 meters remained available for sale with the remainder committed to certain customers. We expect this remaining inventory will enable us to achieve our sales objectives for HTS wire while reducing operating losses and operating
cash requirements for our AMSC Superconductors business unit. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

options where the exercise price of the stock option was equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R) allows companies to choose one of two transition methods: the modified prospective method or
the modified retrospective transition method. Effective April&nbsp;1, 2006, we elected the modified prospective method of transition and accordingly have not restated the results of prior periods. Stock-based compensation expense includes expense

valuation method we used for disclosure-only purposes under the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R), we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of awards with service condition and performance condition awards under SFAS

percentage of stock awards vest each period), we recognize compensation costs on an accelerated, graded-vesting basis over the requisite service/vesting period. We use the lattice model to value market condition awards. For awards with market

outstanding based on the vesting provisions and our historical exercise, cancellation and expiration patterns. We estimate pre-vesting forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense based on historical and forward-looking factors. Changes in
estimated forfeiture rates and differences between estimated forfeiture rates and actual experience may result in significant, unanticipated increases or decreases in stock-based compensation expense from period to period. The termination of
employment of certain employees who hold large numbers of stock-based awards may also have a significant, unanticipated impact on forfeiture experience and, therefore, on stock-based compensation expense. We will update these assumptions on at least
an annual basis and on an interim basis if significant changes to the assumptions are warranted. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

completion method, measured by the relationship of costs incurred to total estimated contract costs. We use the percentage of completion revenue recognition method when a purchase arrangement meets all of the criteria in Statement of Position 81-1.
Percentage of completion revenue recognition accounting is predominantly used on long-term prototype development contracts with the U.S. government, such as the 36.5 MW motor contract with the U.S. Navy. We follow this method since reasonably
dependable estimates of the revenues and costs applicable to various stages of a contract can be made. However, the ability to reliably estimate total costs at completion is challenging, especially on long-term prototype development contracts, and
could result in future changes in contract estimates. Since many contracts extend over a long period of time, revisions in scope, cost and funding estimates during the progress of work have the effect of adjusting earnings in the current period.
Recognition of contract revenues and profit or loss are subject to revisions as the contract work progresses to completion. Revisions in profit or loss estimates are charged to income in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision
become known. During the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007, as a result of cost overruns and changes in estimates, we recorded an estimated loss of $3,105,000 related to the Navy 36.5 MW motor program. </FONT></P> <P

recognized in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March&nbsp;31, 2008. We expect to complete this project in the fall of 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

Consolidated Edison, Inc., which is being funded by the Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, and was announced on May&nbsp;21, 2007. DHS is expected to invest up to a total of $25,000,000 in the development of a new high temperature
superconductor power grid technology to enable &#147;Secure Super Grids.&#148; Secure Super Grids utilize customized HTS wires, HTS power cables and ancillary controls to deliver more power through the grid while also being able to suppress power
surges that can disrupt service. On May&nbsp;18, 2007, we signed a letter contract valued at $1,700,000, of which DHS provided initial funding of $1,100,000, to commence work on this project. Final contract terms and conditions are estimated to be
$39,300,000 for this three-year project and are expected to be completed within 90 days of the letter contract. Consolidated Edison and Southwire Company are expected to be subcontractors to us. The remaining costs not funded by DHS will be cost
shared by us and Consolidated Edison. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

compared to $3,242,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006, as a result of lower 1G HTS wire demand as we transition to manufacturing 2G wire. This decrease was partially offset by a $21,000 increase in AMSC Superconductors contract revenues,
which were $1,927,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007, compared to $1,906,000 in the prior-year period. We expect wire sales to other customers and contract revenues to remain relatively flat in the year ending March&nbsp;31, 2008. We are in
the process of installing, testing, and qualifying capital equipment for manufacturing our 2G HTS wire, the sales of which are currently constrained by limited manufacturing capacity. We expect to sell limited quantities of 2G HTS wire while we
expand our 344 superconductor manufacturing line. We expect to have an annual gross capacity of 720,000 meters of wire at the end of calendar year 2007. We expect to continue to meet near-term customer demand for HTS wire from the approximately
280,000 meters of 1G HTS wire we had in inventory as of March&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

$1,275,000. This increase in funding which was recognized as an offset to operating expenses, was the result of the $5,350,000 Title III contract awarded by the Air Force in December 2005. Under the Title III contract, we recognized cost-sharing
funding of $2,260,000 and $568,000 as an offset to operating expenses for the years ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 and March&nbsp;31, 2006, respectively. As required by government contract accounting guidelines, funding from government cost-sharing
agreements is recorded as an offset to research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses, rather than as revenue. All of our cost-sharing agreements provide funding in support of 2G wire development work being performed in
the AMSC Superconductors business unit. We anticipate that a portion of our funding in the future will continue to come from cost-sharing agreements as we continue to develop joint programs with government agencies. Backlog as of March&nbsp;31, 2007

AMSC Superconductors in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007, a lower percentage of the SG&amp;A cost was classified as costs of revenue compared to the prior year. Aggregated SG&amp;A expenses, which include amounts classified as costs of revenue and
amounts offset by cost-sharing funding, increased to $23,224,000 for the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 from $16,209,000 for the same period last year primarily as a result of the stock compensation, Windtec acquisition-related amortization and
other SG&amp;A expenses noted above. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We present Aggregated

March&nbsp;26, 2007 to consolidate our AMSC Wires, SuperMachines and Power Electronic business segments into two operating segments: AMSC Superconductors and AMSC Power Systems. We consolidated our manufacturing operations by closing one of our two
Westborough, Massachusetts facilities, moving operations from that facility into the Devens, Massachusetts plant, and reducing headcount by 37 employees. The restructuring charges included $380,000 for severance, $93,000 to write off the remaining
six months of facility lease payments, and $51,000 incurred to relocate employees and equipment to our Devens facility. In addition there was a related $143,000 fixed asset impairment for manufacturing equipment written down to its estimated salvage
value. Additional cash payments of $213,000 for severance obligations will be expensed during the quarter ending June&nbsp;30, 2007 and are expected to be paid out over the six-month period ending September&nbsp;30, 2007, as a small number of the 37
affected employees remained with us through the end of May 2007 in order to complete ongoing projects. During the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006, there were no restructuring charges recorded. As a result of a management decision made in March 2006
to transition from 1G to 2G wire manufacturing and to cease manufacturing the 1G wire, an impairment charge of $4,960,000 was recorded in the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2006. The impairment charge in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 included a
write-down of 1G equipment of $3,302,000, licenses of $1,220,000 and patents of $438,000. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

at AMSC Power Systems was $402,000 during the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 compared to an operating loss of $3,641,000 in the prior year. The improvement was primarily a result of higher gross margins in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 in
connection with the increased level of product sales. We expect amortization expense related to the Windtec acquisitions to increase from $595,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 to over $4,000,000 in the fiscal year ending March&nbsp;31,
2008, and there may be additional amortization of intangible assets in the year ending March&nbsp;31, 2008 resulting from the analysis of the PQS purchase price allocation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

$27,549,000 in the prior year as a result of lower revenues and margins related to the 36.5 MW Navy contract during the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. The margin decrease was primarily the result of higher than planned subcontractor spending and an
increase in costs related to a delay in the completion and delivery of our 36.5 MW ship propulsion motor into June 2007 resulting in the recognition of a contract loss of $3,105,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. The 36.5 MW motor program
was converted from a cost-plus-incentive-fee contract to a firm-fixed-price contract on April&nbsp;26, 2006. During the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, a crack was discovered in a non-superconductor component of the 36.5 MW motor that required
repair. This event caused an unanticipated cost overrun on the Navy 36.5 MW contract that resulted in an estimated loss of approximately $1,616,000 being recorded in the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. The crack was fully repaired and
reassembly of the motor was completed in February 2007. However, additional technical issues occurred during the initial phase of factory acceptance testing in late February, causing additional delays and cost overruns that led to a $1,489,000
increase in the estimated loss to $3,105,000. The motor successfully passed factory acceptance testing at the end of March 2007 and was delivered to the Navy in June 2007. Cost overruns on this program directly impacted the profitability of this
business unit during the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In
addition to the lower margins related to the 36.5MW motor, AMSC Superconductors wrote off $933,000 of inventoried costs related to one of the two SuperVAR synchronous condensers we had planned to ship to a customer. AMSC Superconductors also
recorded restructuring charges of $524,000 and impairment charges of $143,000 during March 2007 as a result of the decision to re-align our former SuperMachines and AMSC Wires business units into the newly formed AMSC Superconductors business unit.
These increased costs were partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the $4,960,000 impairment charge on the 1G asset group (consisting of equipment, patents and licenses) that was recorded during the fourth
quarter of the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006. We continue to invest in capital equipment for the scale-up of our 344 wire full scale manufacturing line. We expect depreciation expense to increase as we place into service this 2G manufacturing
equipment over the next nine months. We expect this business unit to continue to incur operating losses during the next fiscal year ending March&nbsp;31, 2008 while we continue to invest in the 344 superconductor manufacturing line. </FONT></P> <P

in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 from $14,107,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2005, as a higher volume of system sales to utilities and wind farms was largely offset by lower sales to industrial customers, such as semiconductor
manufacturers. Revenues relating to development contracts also decreased to $67,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 from $234,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2005, contributing to the overall decrease in revenues at AMSC Power Systems.

$35,871,000 in the year ending March&nbsp;31, 2006, a decrease of $6,748,000 or 16% compared to $42,619,000 in the year ending March&nbsp;31, 2005. Revenues relating to the 36.5 MW motor program were $20,826,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006
compared to $30,070,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2005, a decrease of $9,244,000. This was the result of two factors: the first was a lower level of work performed on the 36.5 MW motor program as a result of the substantial completion of
engineering design work and HTS coil fabrication in the prior fiscal year. The second factor contributing to the year ending March&nbsp;31, 2006 decrease in revenues on the 36.5 MW motor program was a limitation on funding from the Navy at
March&nbsp;31, 2006 which limited the amount of revenue we were able to recognize. Due to this funding limitation, $3,082,000 of program costs incurred in excess of the available funding were recorded as inventory as of March&nbsp;31, 2006. These
program costs were inventoried because future funding sufficient to cover these deferred costs was deemed probable. On April&nbsp;26, 2006, such funding was received via a contract modification from the Navy which provided an additional $13,344,000
of funding, thereby fully-funding the program at $90,150,000 and converting it from a cost-plus-incentive-fee contract to a firm-fixed-price contract. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

the delivery of substantially all of the 1G HTS wire required for the project in the second and third quarters of the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006. Contract revenues decreased to $1,281,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 from $1,757,000 in
the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2005, due to a lower level of work performed in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 on a 2G research contract awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, in June 2004. HTS wire sales (including
$147,000 for 2G HTS wire sales in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006) to customers other than LIPA decreased to $3,242,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 from $3,756,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2005, due primarily to a reduction in
the average selling price for our 1G HTS wire. We sold approximately 150,000 meters of 1G HTS wire to customers other than LIPA and the U.S. Navy in both years ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 and 2005. Overall, including wire deliveries to the LIPA cable
project and to the 36.5MW motor project, the AMSC Superconductors business unit delivered approximately 331,000 meters (or 205 miles) of 1G HTS wire, and over 2,700 meters of 2G HTS wire in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006, compared to

March&nbsp;31, 2005, a decrease of $400,000 or 20%. The decline in funding was due to the conclusion early in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 of a cost-sharing program with the Department of Commerce. All of our cost-sharing agreements provide
funding in support of 2G wire development work being done in the AMSC Superconductors business unit. Backlog as of March&nbsp;31, 2006 </FONT>

Also, Aggregated SG&amp;A expenses were reduced by $848,000 in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2006 as a result of the deferral of certain program-specific costs to inventory in connection with the limitation of funding from the Navy as of

$10,046,000 in capital expenditures, primarily related to the 2G pilot production line. This was partially offset by depreciation and amortization expense of $4,750,000, non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $3,680,000, inventory write-downs
of $1,201,000 primarily related to the SuperVAR unit, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3,595,000, a decrease in inventory of $1,072,000, and an increase of $2,641,000 in deferred revenue. The increase in accounts receivable
was the result of delays in milestone payments on the 36.5 MW motor program and a higher accounts receivable balance at AMSC Power Systems business unit due in part to higher system sales in the month of March 2007. The decrease in inventory relates
to the deferred program costs of $3,082,000 inventoried on the 36.5MW project as of the end of March&nbsp;31, 2006 (due to the funding limitation), compared with deferred program costs of $1,173,000 as of March&nbsp;31, 2007 related primarily to the
LIPA project. We expect cash use to decline significantly in the year ending March&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to the cash use in the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007, as we expect to collect receivables from certain customers (particularly the 36.5 MW
motor milestone payments coming due from the Navy of $6,844,000), reduce capital spending as we complete the scale-up for the 344 superconductors pilot plant, and generate a higher level of positive cash flow at AMSC Power Systems compared to prior

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">2008. These expenditures are being made to enable us to a) achieve a gross production capacity of approximately 720,000 meters annually of 344
superconductors in December 2007 on our 4 cm manufacturing technology, and b) prepare to migrate to the our 10cm manufacturing technology. We estimate that an additional $28,000,000 to $35,000,000 of capital expenditures would be needed for a full
commercial manufacturing operation with a gross capacity of approximately 9&nbsp;million meters of wire per year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have backlog (excluding amounts included in accounts receivable) of approximately $79,500,000 to be received after March&nbsp;31, 2007 from government
and commercial customers, compared to $23,761,000 at March&nbsp;31, 2006. Backlog represents the value of contracts and purchase orders received, less the revenue recognized to date on those contracts and purchase orders. The $55,739,000 increase in
backlog from March&nbsp;31, 2006 to March&nbsp;31, 2007 was a result of $83,532,000 in new orders and contracts received during the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 along with acquiring $27,308,000 of incremental backlog associated with the Windtec
acquisition, adjusted to exclude the intercompany PowerModule orders already included in backlog. The new orders of $83,532,000 were comprised primarily of $59,961,000 in new system, power converter and Windtec-related (fourth quarter only) orders
in our AMSC Power Systems business unit. Also contributing was the government contract modification, which provided $13,344,000 in additional funding on the Navy 36.5 MW motor program, thereby increasing the contract value of the program to
$90,150,000 and converting it from a cost-plus-incentive-fee contract to a firm-fixed-price contract on April&nbsp;26, 2006. The Navy 36.5 MW contract modification specifies a milestone payment plan. We received cash payments of $6,500,000 during
the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. We anticipate that we will receive the remaining $6,844,000 over the next two quarters for the milestones associated with the assembly, testing and delivery of the motor to the Navy. The additional new orders
added into our backlog during the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2007 were partially offset by revenues recognized on the 36.5 MW motor program and LIPA cable project, as work continued to progress on these multi-year contracts, which were originally
awarded in February and April of 2003, respectively. The current backlog, including $10,503,000 on U.S. government contracts, is subject to certain standard cancellation provisions. Additionally, several of our government contracts are being funded
incrementally, and as such, are subject to the future authorization and appropriation of government funding on an annual basis. We have a history of successful performance under incrementally-funded contracts with the government. </FONT></P> <P

retirement plan measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the present value of the benefit obligation. The recognition of the net liability or asset will require an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.&nbsp;108, &#147;Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements&#148; expressing the Staff&#146;s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. There have been two widely-recognized
methods for quantifying the effects of financial statement errors: the &#147;roll-over&#148; method and the &#147;iron curtain&#148; method. The roll-over method focuses primarily on the impact of a misstatement on the income
statement&#151;including the reversing effect of prior year misstatements&#151;but its use can lead to the accumulation of misstatements in the balance sheet. The iron-curtain method, on the other hand, focuses primarily on the effect of correcting
the period-end balance sheet with less emphasis on the reversing effects of prior year errors on the income statement. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of the error on
each financial statement and the related financial statement disclosure. This model is commonly referred to as a &#147;dual approach&#148; because it essentially requires quantification of errors under both the iron-curtain and the roll-over
methods. The provisions of SAB 108 should be applied to annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November&nbsp;15, 2006. SAB 108 did not have an impact on our financial statements. </FONT></P> <P

is expected to more than double to 149,500 MW by 2010. This growth is being driven in part by the substantial government incentives and mandates that have been established on local, state and national levels. Additionally, wind power costs have been
declining rapidly. According to the GWEC&#146;s &#147;Global Wind Energy Outlook 2006&#148; report, &#147;A modern wind turbine annually produces 180 times more electricity at less than half the cost per unit (kWh) than its equivalent twenty years

Our Windtec offerings are well-suited for emerging economies where local manufacturers are needed to meet increasing domestic demands for wind energy systems. Windtec is currently designing wind energy systems for, or licensing wind energy systems
to, customers in China, Japan and South Korea, among others. According to GWEC, wind power capacity in these countries grew at 107 percent, 31 percent and 77 percent, respectively, in 2006. Windtec also is targeting customers in countries such as
Brazil and India where wind capacity grew by 717 percent and 42 percent, respectively, in 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

experienced a prolonged depression caused by uncertainties with respect to the ownership of and return on transmission grid assets caused by potential changes in power grid regulations and policies. This period of underinvestment resulted in an
increasing number of grid disturbances and blackouts, including the Northeast Blackout of August&nbsp;14, 2003, which was the largest such event in U.S. history, affecting over 50&nbsp;million people and costing up to an estimated $6 billion in lost

recognition of the need for concerted action to modernize and enhance the security of the nation&#146;s power grid. At the federal level, the Department of Energy (DOE) is supporting the development and implementation of new technologies and

rapidly, driven by a national awareness and federally regulated incentives providing returns on investment for such expenditures. The Edison Electric Institute estimates that transmission investment by utilities grew by 20 percent in 2006 to $7.0

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As these expenditures are being considered, power grid operators are increasingly confronting reliability issues arising from the capacity limitations of transmission and distribution lines (overhead) and cables
(underground). Pushing too much power through a line or cable will heat it up to its &#147;thermal limit.&#148; At that point, more power flow through the line or cable will cause it to fault (forced to be taken out of service) or, in severe cases,
fail. Thus, as demand for power increases, it is necessary to upgrade existing transmission and distribution corridors with additional or higher capacity lines or cables. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

voltage collapse, a blackout. The Northeast Blackout of 2003 was ascribed to a voltage collapse owing to operation of the grid above its voltage stability limit. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

underground cables. This allows for redundancy of power flow pathways and allows power grid operators to safely run systems closer to the thermal limits of the weakest links in the power grid. However, as a result of rising public resistance to new
overhead lines due to environmental, aesthetic and health concerns, permitting processes of five to 10 years or more have become common for new projects. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

similarly challenging for two important reasons: many existing underground corridors carrying power distribution cables are already filled to their physical capacity and cannot accommodate any additional conventional cables; and adding new conduits

benign and easy-to-install transmission and distribution cables that address power grid capacity issues by increasing the thermal limit of existing or new corridors. Power cables are cylindrically shaped systems that consist of wires, which conduct
electricity, surrounded by electrical insulation, which in turn is encased in a metal or polymeric jacket. Today, power cables are made primarily using copper wires. Because our HTS wire is able to carry 150 times the electrical current of
comparably sized copper wire, power cables of the same diameter can use significantly less HTS wire than copper wire and yet conduct up to 10 times the power of copper cables of the same diameter. These new cable systems also bring efficiency
advantages. Traditional cable systems heat up due to the electrical resistance of copper, and this heat causes electrical losses. It is estimated that, on average, eight percent of the electricity produced at generation sites is lost due to
resistance in the power grid. Conversely, HTS materials carry direct current, DC, with 100 percent efficiency and alternating current, AC, with nearly 100 percent efficiency when they are cooled below a critical temperature. As a result, AC HTS
power cables lose significantly less power to resistive heating than copper cables and DC HTS power cables have no energy losses due to resistive heating. According to Frost&nbsp;&amp; Sullivan, the underground transmission and distribution power
cable market in North America alone was expected to be more than $900 million in 2005 and was expected to grow by eight percent annually through 2012. We believe the annual transmission and distribution power cable market worldwide today is at least
$2 billion. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

terms, reactive power is required to support voltage in the power network. Voltage is the &#147;pressure&#148; that drives electrical current through the grid. Operators of AC power networks must closely and continuously balance real power and
reactive power. Where reactive power support is inadequate, grids must be operated with heightened caution. Many lines within a power grid are rated well below their full thermal capacity because when grids are stressed, even brief voltage drops
caused by transient events (e.g., line outages, plant trips, lightning strikes) can trigger instability and voltage collapse. Our Power Systems business offers power electronics systems that rapidly inject precise amounts of reactive power into
transmission grids to compensate for fluctuations in reactive power. We expect the need for reactive compensation to support both steady-state and transient power grid operation will continue to rise as the demand for power increases and utilities
increase their focus on energy efficiency. Reliability-must-run generators are used by utilities to support voltage during peak load timeframes. These systems, which consume significant amounts of fuel and emit greenhouse gases, can often be
replaced by reactive compensation solutions. We estimate that the current annual addressable market for these products is at least $250 million worldwide, and we expect this market to grow considerably as global demand for electricity also continues

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our 344 superconductors are &#147;smart materials&#148; because they are able to switch from a
superconducting state with zero resistance to the flow of electricity, to the resistive state when the current passing through the wire exceeds a critical value. Because a high resistance reduces current in an electrical network, the
&#147;smart&#148; switching feature of superconductor wire can be used to limit high fault currents that arise because of network short circuits. This is the basis of fault current limiting devices for utility and military applications. Our 344
superconductors are well suited for such applications because the resistance of the other layers in its structure can be kept high, thus decreasing the amount of wire required to achieve the required resistance. By contrast, the significant amount
of silver in 1G HTS wire keeps the resistance low. Our lamination process also permits the economical addition of thick stabilizer to our 344 superconductors to minimize the temperature rise during a fault event. This lamination process is a further
competitive advantage of our 344 superconductors and associated manufacturing process as it allows us to customize our product to meet the materials and performance needs of our customer&#146;s specific applications. </FONT></P> <P

Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default
of such Underwriter under this Agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If this Agreement
