Safe Harbor Statement

Any statements in this release about future expectations, plans and prospects for the company, including without limitation our prospects for future growth, expectations regarding future financial results and liquidity and

other statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "will" and similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of

1995. There are a number of important factors that could materially impact the value of our common stock or cause actual resultsto differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Such factors

include: a significant portion of our revenues has been derived from Sinovel Wind Group Co. Ltd., ("Sinovel"), which has stoppedaccepting scheduled deliveries and refused to pay amounts outstanding; the disruption in our

relationship with Sinovel has materially and adversely affected our business and results of operations and if, as we expect, Sinovel continues to refuse to accept shipments from us, our business and results of operations will be

further materially and adversely affected; we may require additional funding in the future and may be unable to raise capitalwhen needed; we have a history of operating losses, and we may incur additional losses in the

future; our operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and may fall below expectations in any particular fiscal quarter; changes in exchange rates could adversely affect our results from operations; we

have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and if we fail to remediate these weaknesses and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce

accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired and may lead investors and other users to lose confidence in our financial data; if we fail to implement our business strategy successfully, our financial performance

could be harmed; we may not realize all of the sales expected from our backlog of orders and contracts; many of our revenue opportunities are dependent upon subcontractors and other business collaborators; our products

face intense competition, which could limit our ability to acquire or retain customers; our success is dependent upon attractingand retaining qualified personnel and our inability to do so could significantly damage our business

and prospects; we may acquire additional complementary businesses or technologies, which may require us to incur substantial costs for which we may never realize the anticipated benefits; our international operations are

subject to risks that we do not face in the United States, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results; we depend on sales to customers in China, and global conditions could negatively affect our operating

results or limit our ability to expand our operations outside of China; changes in China's political, social, regulatory and economic environment may affect our financial performance; many of our customer relationships outside

of the United States are, either directly or indirectly, with governmental entities, and we could be adversely affected by violations of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws

outside the United States; we rely upon third party suppliers for the components and subassemblies of many of our Wind and Grid products, making us vulnerable to supply shortages and price fluctuations, which could harm

our business; we are becoming increasingly reliant on contracts that require the issuance of performance bonds; problems withproduct quality or product performance may cause us to incur warranty expenses and may

damage our market reputation and prevent us from achieving increased sales and market share; our success in addressing the wind energy market is dependent on the manufacturers that license our designs; growth of the

wind energy market depends largely on the availability and size of government subsidies and economic incentives; there are a number of technological challenges that must be successfully addressed before our

superconductor products can gain widespread commercial acceptance, and our inability to address such technological challengescould adversely affect our ability to acquire customers for our products; we have not

manufactured our Amperiumwire in commercial quantities, and a failure to manufacture our Amperiumwire in commercial quantities at acceptable cost and quality levels would substantially limit our future revenue and

profit potential; the commercial uses of superconductor products are limited today, and a widespread commercial market for our products may not develop; we have limited experience in marketing and selling our

superconductor products and system-level solutions, and our failure to effectively market and sell our products and solutions could lower our revenue and cash flow; our contracts with the U.S. government are subject to audit,

modification or termination by the U.S. government and include certain other provisions in favor of the government; the continued funding of such contracts remains subject to annual congressional appropriation which, if not

approved, could reduce our revenue and lower or eliminate our profit; we may be unable to adequately prevent disclosure of tradesecrets and other proprietary information; we have filed a demand for arbitration and other

lawsuits against Sinovel regarding amounts we contend are due and owing and are in dispute; we cannot be certain as to the outcome of the proceedings against Sinovel; we have been named as a party to purported

stockholder class actions and shareholder derivative complaints, and we may be named in additional litigation, all of which willrequire significant management time and attention, result in significant legal expenses and may

result in an unfavorable outcome, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financialcondition; our technology and products could infringe intellectual property rights of others, which

may require costly litigation and, if we are not successful, could cause us to pay substantial damages and disrupt our business;our patents may not provide meaningful protection for our technology, which could result in us

losing some or all of our market position; third parties have or may acquire patents that cover the materials, processes and technologies we use or may use in the future to manufacture our Amperiumproducts, and our

success depends on our ability to license such patents or other proprietary rights; and our common stock has experienced, andmay continue to experience, significant market price and volume fluctuations, which may prevent

our stockholders from selling our common stock at a profit and could lead to costly litigation against us that could divert our management's attention. Reference is made to many of these factors and others in the "Risk

Factors" section of the company's most recent quarterly or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, any forward-looking statements included in this release represent the company's

expectations as of the date of this release. While the company anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause thecompany's views to change, the company specifically disclaims any obligation to update

these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the company's viewsas of any date subsequent to the date of this release.
