                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

    We were organized as a Massachusetts corporation in February 1985 and
reincorporated in Delaware in 1992. We design, develop and manufacture
intelligent, electro-mechanical products for aerospace, transportation,
industrial and utility applications. We also design, develop and manufacture
power and energy management products for telecommunications, silicon wafer
manufacturing, factory automation, aircraft and automotive applications. Our
electro-mechanical products are being developed for a wide variety of U.S.
government and commercial markets. For the government, our electro-mechanical
systems provide for applications ranging from satellite attitude control to high
speed drives for shipboard systems. In the transportation segment, we are
developing electric and hybrid electric drive components, auxiliary power units
and advanced steering, alternator and starter/generator systems. We are working
with major equipment producers to develop process equipment drives, high speed
and precision machine tools, manipulators and machinery isolation equipment. Our
electro-mechanical systems may offer advantages to the utility industry in power
generation, energy storage and power quality. In the consumer market, we are
developing variable speed motors for refrigeration equipment and other
long-life, high-efficiency machinery.

STRATEGY

    It is our strategy to continue to expand development of our technologies for
use in commercial business applications and to seek the acquisition of
businesses, products, assets and technologies that complement or augment our
existing businesses, products, assets and technologies.

DEVELOPMENTS DURING 1999

    During 1999, our technology center made a concentrated effort toward
building the power inverter for a fuel cell on-site power generation system.
Using new technology, developed with government funding over the last seven
years, we are developing new, smaller, high-efficiency, low-cost power
inverters. Our power inverters are combined with fuel cell power generation
systems, micro-turbines, or solar power generation systems for generating
on-site power. Work also continued on the Department of Energy's contract with
us to manufacture power electronics for use in hybrid-electric automobiles. With
fuel cells and microturbines becoming more affordable, their use as alternative
fuel drive trains is gaining interest from several perspectives. Our technology
center also received funded research and development contracts for a modular
drive for the U.S. Navy, miniature navigation systems, biological contamination
detection systems, and a remote surveillance and targeting vehicle for DARPA.

    In January 1999, we acquired Lighthouse Software, Inc., which designs and
develops software for the industrial machine tool industry.

    Over the past year, Magmotor, a manufacturer of custom electric motors
targeting the factory automation, medical, semiconductor and packaging markets,
introduced a new line of brushless DC servomotors for the machine tool industry.
Within its first year with this product line, Magmotor was able to expand its
customer base with the addition of orders from several machine tool
manufacturers. These customers purchased servomotor for inclusion in such
machines as Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining centers, CNC lathes and
milling machines and for small part precision turning. Magmotor also completed
several delivery orders for its integrated suspension and motor (ISAM) product
to Applied Materials. By having the encoder, brake, gearbox, tachometer and
connectors that are required for each customer's unique application coupled with
the appropriate motor, Magmotor can now provide its customers with an entire
drive assembly. They have recently added brush and brushless motor amplifiers to

                                       1
<PAGE>
their product line and are building small motors for a major automotive
manufacturer to be used in fuel cell cars.

    In January 1999, we acquired Inductive Components, Inc., a value-added
supplier selling systems in the machine tool and semi-conductor industry.

    During 1999, FMI, a manufacturer and producer of custom integrated circuits
for the communications, industrial, military and aerospace markets, introduced
several new products. The first was a package of uplink electronics for
satellite telecommunications systems such as mobile telephone repeater stations.
The second set of products were a series of power resistors manufactured with
aluminum nitride, FMI's solution to eliminating environmentally hazardous
beryllium oxide, the substrate commonly used in this past for these products.
These resistors are used in several telecommunications products, including
cellular telephones. FMI was also chosen to design the thin film circuits for
new satellite television/internet system for residential and business use. The
system is being manufactured and sold through a major electronics manufacturer
that also markets a satellite television service. FMI also developed a new
process for manufacturing radio frequency identification cards.

    In April 1999, we acquired Hycomp, Inc., a manufacturer of high performance,
high quality multi-chip modules.

    During 1999, Beacon Power Corporation, an affiliate of SatCon, successfully
completed the first phase field testing of its flywheel uninterruptible power
supply systems for telephone and cable television applications. The systems have
successfully operated for over 1,800 continuous hours. In both applications,
Beacon Power's flywheels have maintained the power during loss of utility power
with no degredation of service.

COMMERCIALIZATION

    We intend to continue directing our commercialization efforts in the
following product areas:

    POWER ELECTRONICS

    We have developed proprietary high-voltage hybrid modules based on advanced
power semiconductor technology at a fraction of the weight of conventional
packages. The high-density topology and innovative cooling schemes utilized
allow for higher throughput in smaller, lighter weight packages. These
electronics support our high-speed drive and flywheel product developments as
well as our power inverters for fuel cell, microturbine and other alternative
fuel on-site power generation systems..

    We have also developed a new hermetic amplifier product line that is
manufactured without the use of hazardous beryllium oxide. In addition to the
amplifiers, we are developing a new motor controller line based on the SAT-32
DSP motor control technology that is currently used in the Integrated Suspension
and Motor product for semiconductor manufacturing.

    MOTORS AND HIGH SPEED DRIVES

    We design and build high performance motors and drives that capitalize on
advances in materials and semiconductor technology to achieve high power
density. Through the use of high performance materials and design of the
magnetic circuits, we have demonstrated electric motor prototypes that are
lightweight and have provided efficiencies in excess of 97 percent. Our motor
designs are being evaluated for a wide variety of applications including
electric vehicles, shipboard motors and general industrial applications.

    MAGNETIC BEARINGS AND SUSPENSION SYSTEMS

    Improvements in magnetic materials and electronic control systems have led
the way to advances in electromagnetic bearings and suspension systems. We have
participated in the development of such

                                       2
<PAGE>
systems for spacecraft and ground-based systems. Our magnetic bearing systems
feature electromagnetic and permanent magnet actuators and advanced digital
control systems. These systems have been developed for both commercial and
military applications.

    By injecting electromagnetic forces along a selected bearing axis in concert
with shaft rotation, the magnetic bearings can balance a dynamic machine,
resulting in smooth and quiet operation. Similar principles guide the
application of electromagnetic suspension systems. These automated systems
provide a significant reduction of structure borne vibration transmittal,
providing low vibration machinery operation, low detection or vibration
isolation. In addition, these systems provide lubrication-free support for
rotating, reciprocating, and stationary systems. Also, through active electronic
control, these systems provide quiet, smooth and non-contaminating machinery
operation and isolation.

    We are also developing a high-temperature magnetic bearing for gas turbine
engines.

    FLYWHEEL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS

    By integrating energy storing flywheels made of high strength materials with
high power, permanent magnet motor/generators, we have developed
electro-mechanical storage systems that we believe have the potential to offer
practical solutions for mobile and stationary applications. Beacon Power's
flywheel systems are anticipated to provide extremely high power output and
energy storage in compact packages. They may be a long-lasting, lightweight, and
an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional batteries. These systems
can be used to provide backup for critical industrial processes and machines, as
power supplies for satellites and as energy recovery systems for electric and
hybrid-electric vehicle drive trains.

    Beacon Power is completing the commercialization of the 20C1000
cable/telecom flywheel system. Beacon Power's focus is limited to providing
flywheel energy storage products for stationary terrestrial applications. Beacon
Power's 20C1000 cable/telecom flywheel system is being developed to offer an
alternative to lead acid batteries as an un-interruptible power supply for the
telecommunications industry, including cable television and telephone service
providers, which are required to maintain service during power outages.

MARKETS

    Our objective is to capitalize on our technological developments from our
internal and contract research and development projects to become a leading
supplier of a new generation of intelligent, electro-mechanical and
electro-optic products for aerospace, transportation, industrial, utility and
food processing applications. These products, enabled by a revolution in the
size, weight and efficiency of machines, are designed to provide competitive
advantages in performance.

COMPETITION

    A variety of companies compete in each of the areas in which we are
developing and selling products. To date, we have faced only limited competition
in providing research services, prototype development and custom and limited
quality manufacturing. We expect competition to intensify greatly as commercial
applications increase for our products under development. Some of our
competitors are well established and have substantial managerial, technical,
financial, marketing and product development resources competitive with, and, in
some instances, greater than ours. Additional companies, both large and small,
are entering the markets in which we compete. There can be no assurance that we
will be successful in such a competitive environment.

                                       3
<PAGE>
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

    We currently own 23 U.S. patents which expire between 2007 and 2017. We also
have 8 patent applications pending with the U.S. patent and trademark office. As
a qualifying small business, we have retained commercial ownership rights to
proprietary technology developed under various U.S. government contracts and
grants, including small business innovation research contracts. Our patent and
trade secret rights are of material importance to us and future prospects. No
assurance can be given to as to the issuance of additional patents or, if so
issued, as to their scope. Patents granted may not provide meaningful protection
from competitors. Even if a competitor's products were to infringe patents owned
by us, it would be costly for us to pursue our rights in an enforcement action
and would divert funds and resources which otherwise could be used in our
operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we would be successful
in enforcing intellectual property rights or that we may not infringe patent or
intellectual of third parties. However, to date, we have not been required to
defend our patents or proprietary information against claims by third parties.

    Since we intend to enforce our patent, trademarks and copyrights and protect
our trade secrets, we may be involved from time to time in litigation to
determine the enforceability, scope and validity of these rights. This
litigation could result in substantial costs to us and divert efforts by our
management and technical personnel.

    In addition to our patent rights, we also rely on treatment of our
technology as trade secrets and upon confidentiality agreements, which our
employees are required to sign, assigning to us all patent rights and technical
or other information developed by employees during their employment with us. Our
employees have also agreed not to disclose any trade secret or confidential
information without our prior written consent. Notwithstanding these
confidentiality agreements, there can be no assurance that other companies will
not acquire information that we consider proprietary.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    Approximately $6,355,000 or 41% of our revenue during the year ended
September 30, 1999 was attributable to research and development activities
funded by commercial customers and U.S. government agency sponsors. Under the
agreements funded by the U.S. Government, the government retains a royalty-free
license to use the technology developed for government purposes and we retain
exclusive rights to the technology for commercial and industrial applications.
The rights to technology developed under contracts funded by commercial
customers are negotiated on a case by case basis.

    We expended approximately $726,000, $1,276,000 (as restated) and $4,055,000
(as restated) on internally-funded research and development during our years
ended September 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. During the year ended
September 30, 1999, our most concentrated effort was directed toward building
the power inverter for a fuel cell on-site power generation system. We continued
our development efforts in the electro-optics and sensor inspection systems. In
addition, we successfully tested a new version of our "Powersmart" alternator
electronics package for Delco Remy International. Beacon Power's 20C1000
cable/telecom flywheel system and the introduction of our ISAM product accounted
for the majority of the 1998 and 1997 internally-funded costs.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

    We have entered into contracts, subcontracts and grants with the U.S.
government and its agencies which require compliance with applicable U.S.
government regulations, including regulations with respect to bidding on
proposals and billing practices. In the event that the U.S. government or its
agencies conclude that we have not adhered to federal regulations, any contracts
to which we are a party could be canceled. We could be prohibited from bidding
on future contracts which could materially adversely affect our business. All
payments for work performed on contracts with agencies of the U.S. government
are subject to adjustment upon audit by the U.S. government defense contract
audit agency, the general

                                       4
<PAGE>
accounting office and other agencies. We could also be required to disgorge any
payments received from U.S. government agencies if we are found to have violated
federal regulations.

    The commercialization of our technologies for use in various industries may
also be affected by federal and state legislative and regulatory changes
affecting such industries.

MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS

    If we are successful in obtaining market penetration of our products, we
will be required to deliver large volumes of quality products or components to
our customers on a timely basis at reasonable costs. When necessary, we intend
to seek to supplement our manufacturing capabilities by establishing
relationships with manufacturing organizations to deliver large volumes of our
products until such time as we can develop our own manufacturing expertise and
capacity. No assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully
establish relationships with third party manufacturing organizations or, if such
relationships are established, that they will be successful.

    The principal materials and supplies in our products are available from
several commercial sources, and we do not depend on any single source for a
significant portion of our materials or supplies.

BACKLOG

    Our backlog consists primarily of research and development contracts and
orders for multi-chip modules, hybrid and motor products. At September 30, 1999,
the backlog was approximately $7,300,000 for work to be performed and products
to be shipped during the year ending September 30, 2000 and beyond. Many of our
contracts and sales orders may be canceled at any time with limited or no
penalty. In addition, contract awards may be subject to funding approval from
the U.S. government and commercial entities, which involves political, budgetary
and other considerations over which we have no control. Our backlog at September
30, 1998 was approximately $10,000,000.

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

    Although we have been developing applications of our technology for both
commercial and government markets, a large percentage of our revenue is from the
U.S. department of defense, department of energy and NASA contracts,
subcontracts and grants. The majority of these contracts, subcontacts and grants
were awarded through the small business innovation research program. Although we
believe that the majority of our revenue in the future will result from
commercial applications of our technologies, a significant portion of our
business in the next few years will likely continue to involve research and
development for the U.S government and its agencies. Consequently, a portion of
future revenue may be subject to funding approval from Congress, which involves
political, budgetary, and other considerations over which we have no control. To
date, we have not been adversely affected by reductions in defense spending. We
believe that government funding for the areas of our research and development
activities will continue without reduction. However, we cannot assure you that
this funding will not be reduced in the future. Any reduction could materially
adversely affect our business. In addition, many of our U.S. government
contracts may be canceled at any time by the U.S. government with limited or no
penalty.

EMPLOYEES

    At September 30, 1999, we employed a total of 177 people: 171 on a regular
full-time basis, 4 on a regular part-time basis and 2 student interns. In
addition, at September 30, 1999, Beacon Power employed a total of 27 people; 26
on a regular full-time basis and 1 on a regular part-time basis. Some of our
employees are affiliated with large universities located in the greater Boston
area. Approximately 59 persons are employed in engineering, 81 in manufacturing,
28 in administration and 9 in sales and marketing. None of these employees are
represented by a union. We believe that our relations with our employees are
satisfactory.

                                       5
<PAGE>
    Our success will depend, in large part, upon our ability to attract,
motivate and retain highly qualified scientists and engineers, as well as highly
skilled and experiences management and technical personnel. Competition for
these personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be
successful in attracting, motivating or retaining key personnel.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

    We lease 45,820 square feet of office and laboratory space at 161 First
Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts under a primary lease expiring on October 31,
2003, an additional 8,719 square feet of office and laboratory space located at
6245 East Broadway Boulevard, Suite 350, Tucson, Arizona under a primary lease
expiring on March 31, 2001 and an additional 1,561 square feet of laboratory
space located at 984 Southford Road, Middlebury, Connecticut under a primary
lease expiring on February 28, 2000. We also leases approximately 14,757 square

under a primary lease expiring on July 31, 2002, approximately 17,000 square
feet of manufacturing space at 121 Higgins Street, Worcester, Massachusetts
under a primary lease expiring on March 31, 2003 and approximately 15,300 square
feet of manufacturing space at 165 Cedar Hill Street, Marlborough, Massachusetts
under a primary lease expiring on October 31, 2005 .

    Effective November 5, 1997, we entered into an agreement to sub-lease 8,930
square feet at 161 First Street to a third party, and effective July 15, 1998,
we entered into an agreement to sub-lease an additional 3,952 square feet at 161
First Street to the same third party.

    Effective February 8, 1999, we entered into an agreement to sub-lease
approximately 2,889 square feet at 6245 East Broadway Boulevard, Suite 350,
Tucson, Arizona to a third party. Effective July 29, 1999, we entered into an
agreement to sub-lease the remaining 5,830 square feet at the Tucson, Arizona
location to another third party.

    We believe our facilities are adequate for our current needs and that
adequate facilities for expansion, if required, are available.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    On October 15, 1997, we received a letter from the Department of the Air
Force stating that it may terminate for default a contract between the Air Force
and us for development of a satellite component, unless perceived performance
problems were cured. In the event of an actual default, we could be liable for
extra costs incurred by the United States government in developing the
component. We have had several discussions with the Air Force in order to
resolve the issue. We informed the Air Force contracting officer of our belief
that a termination for default is not warranted.

    On December 15, 1997, the Air Force issued a "Show Cause Notice" to us
requiring us to demonstrate to the Air Force why the contract should not be
terminated "for cause." On December 31, 1997, we responded to the Air Force's
"Show Cause Notice, explaining our view that we should not be terminated for
cause.

    As a related matter to the Air Force contract issue, on December 15, 1997,
we received a subpoena from the United States Attorney for the District of
Arizona. The subpoena sought documents relating to USAF Program/Contract No.
F290601-96-C-145. On January 30, 1998 and February 4, 1998, we produced the
documents responsive to the subpoena. In addition, we have made several of our
current and former employees available to interview with officials from the Air
Force and the United States Attorney's office. We are currently awaiting the
United States Attorney's decision whether to proceed with any further
investigation.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

    No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the year covered by this report through the solicitation of proxies
or otherwise.

DIVIDEND POLICY

    We have not paid dividends to our stockholders since our inception and do
not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to
reinvest earnings, if any, in the development and expansion of our business.
Declaration of dividends on our common stock or preferred stock will depend
upon, among other things, future earnings, our operating and financial
condition, our capital requirements and general business conditions.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

    On November 11, 1998, we issued to certain individuals, who formerly held
warrants issued by us in connection with the our initial public offering in
November 1992, warrants to purchase up to 67,125 shares of our common stock at
an exercise price of $11.43 per share. These warrants expired on November 11,
1999 unexercised and were issued in reliance upon the exemptions from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D
promulgated thereunder, relative to sales by an issuer not involving any public
offering.

    On January 4, 1999, we issued 100,000 shares of our common stock to two
individuals in connection with the purchase by K&D MagMotor Corp., a wholly
owned subsidiary of us, of certain assets and the assumption of certain
liabilities of Inductive Components, Inc. and Lighthouse Software, Inc. These
shares were issued in reliance upon the exemptions from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder,
relative to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering.

    On March 9, 1999, we issued 42,860 shares of our common stock to an escrow
agent in connection with a consulting agreement entered into by us and Mr.
Albert R. Snider pursuant to which Mr. Snider will perform such consulting,
advisory and related services as we may reasonably request from time to time
between October 1, 1999 and October 1, 2002. These shares were issued in
reliance upon the exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, relative to sales by an
issuer not involving any public offering.

    On April 7, 1999, we issued non-qualified stock options to Continental
Capital & Equity Corporation to purchase in consideration of Continental
Capital's consulting services rendered to us 50,000 shares of the our common
stock at $5.75 per share and 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $6.75 per share. As of December 20, 1999, Continental Capital has
received 50,000 shares of our common

                                       7

stock at an exercise price of $5.75 per share and 10,000 shares of our common
stock at an exercise price of $6.75 per share upon exercise of these options.
The remaining options expire on April 7, 2000 and were issued in reliance upon
the exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or
Regulation D promulgated thereunder, relative to sales by an issuer not
involving any public offering.

    On August 25, 1999, we issued 8,000 shares of our series A redeemable
convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, to Brown Simpson
Strategic Growth Funds for an aggregate price of $8 million. The series A
redeemable convertible preferred stock is initially convertible into 1,025,641
shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $7.80 per share.
Under certain circumstances, we have the option to cause the series A preferred
stock to convert into shares of common stock or otherwise be redeemed. At the
end of seven years, we must redeem any remaining shares of the series A
redeemable convertible preferred stock for cash or, at our option, common stock
with a then fair market value equal to the original purchase price of the series
A redeemable convertible preferred stock. The obligation at seven years to
redeem any remaining shares of the series A redeemable convertible preferred
stock accelerates to August 25, 2003 in the event the average bid price of our
common stock for the 60 "trading day" period immediately preceding the fourth
anniversary is $5.00 per share or less. In connection with the transaction, we
also issued to Brown Simpson warrants to purchase up to 675,000 additional
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.54 per share. These warrants
expire on August 25, 2003. The series A preferred stock and these warrants were
issued in reliance upon the exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, relative to sales by
an issuer not involving any public offering.

stock at an exercise price of $7.80 per share. These warrants have a call option
value of $12.81 per share. These warrants expire on August 25, 2003 and were
issued in reliance upon the exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, relative to sales by
an issuer not involving any public offering.

    On October 21, 1999, in connection with our acquisition of Ling Electronics,
Inc. and Ling Electronics, Ltd., we issued 770,000 shares of our common stock to
Mechanical Technology Incorporated, the parent entity of the two acquired
entities. The common stock was issued in reliance upon the exemptions from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D
promulgated thereunder, relative to sales by an issuer not involving a public
offering.

    On October 21, 1999, in connection with an investment, we issued 370,800
shares of our common stock to Mechanical Technology Incorporated. In addition,
we issued to Mechanical Technology Incorporated a warrant to purchase 36,000
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $8.80 per share. This warrant
expires on October 21, 2003. In connection with this transaction, we also
received a warrant to purchase 36,000 shares of the common stock of Mechanical
Technology Incorporated at an exercise price of $37.66 per share and $2,570,000

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS (AS RESTATED)

    The following discussion reflects restatement of our financial statements
for fiscal years 1997, 1998 and 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. We 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 our investment in Beacon Power by $3.1 million as
of December 24, 1997. The adjustments to our financial statements at
December 24, 1997, the date which we began accounting for our 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.
The cumulative effect of this change on our stockholders' equity as of September
30, 1999, was a reduction of $130,000. The effect of this change on the reported
net loss attributable to common stockholders for each period is as follows:

</TABLE>

    We have adjusted the accumulated deficit as of September 30, 1996 for the
effect of the 1996 restatement. The cumulative effect of this change on our
stockholders' equity as of September 30, 1996 was a reduction of $924,000. See
Notes A and F to our consolidated financial statements for additional discussion
of this restatement.

    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

    We are developing enabling technologies for the emerging distributed power
generation and power quality markets. We manufacture power and energy management
products that convert, condition, store and manage electricity for businesses
and consumers that require high-quality, uninterruptible power. We are utilizing
our 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. We believe the family of products we are
developing will be integral components of distributed power generation and power
quality systems.

    In the past three years, we have expanded our business and capabilities
through the following acquisitions:

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

                                       10
<PAGE>
    - Film Microelectronics, Inc.--a manufacturer of thin film substrates and
      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 hybrid microelectronics, acquired in
      April 1999.

    - Ling Electronics, Inc.--a manufacturer of shaker vibration test systems,
      power converters, amplifiers and controllers, acquired in October 1999.

All of these acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. In addition, in November 1999, we acquired intellectual property,
tooling and other assets from Northrop Grumman Corporation enabling us to
manufacture and sell electric drivetrains. See Note P to our Consolidated
Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information
regarding our acquisitions.

    The results of our 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, we began
accounting for our investment in Beacon Power using the equity method and have
included $1.9 million of losses of Beacon Power for the period from
December 25, 1997 through June 1998, which equaled our initial investment in
Beacon Power. In connection with the additional investment by outside third
parties on October 23, 1998, we committed $30,000 to Beacon Power and
accordingly, recorded a $30,000 loss from our investment in Beacon Power
representing a portion of the suspended losses as of October 23, 1998. For the
period from October 24, 1998 through June 21, 1999, we recorded no additional
losses of Beacon Power as our investment in Beacon Power had been reduced to
zero as of October 23, 1998. In June 1999, Beacon received $3.0 million of
additional financing commitments, including $1.0 million from us. As a result of
this additional commitment, we have included a $1.0 million loss from our
investment in Beacon Power representing a portion of the suspended losses as of
June 22, 1999. For the period from June 23, 1999 through September 30, 1999, we
recorded no additional losses of Beacon Power as our investment in Beacon Power
had been reduced to zero as of June 22, 1999.

    Revenue from manufactured products is recognized upon shipment. We provide
for a warranty reserve at the time the product revenue is recognized.

    We perform 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, we receive periodic progress payments or payment upon reaching interim
milestones. All payments to us 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.

    Cost of revenue includes cost of product revenue. Costs incurred in
connection with funded research and development arrangements are included in
research and development expenses.

    We have incurred significant costs to develop our technology and products.
These costs have exceeded total revenues. As a result, we have incurred net
losses in each of the past five fiscal years. As of

                                       11
<PAGE>
September 30, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $25.4 million (as
restated). We intend to significantly increase our capital expenditures and
operating expenses to rapidly expand our manufacturing capabilities and for
general corporate purposes, including product development activities, sales and
marketing and administrative activities. Because we expect to continue to invest
in our business ahead of anticipated future revenues, we expect to incur
operating losses for at least the next two years.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (AS RESTATED) COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR
    ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (AS RESTATED)

    PRODUCT REVENUE.  Product revenue increased $1.6 million or 21% from
$7.5 million to $9.1 million. Product revenue increased by $396,000 for power
electronics products and $1.2 million for motion control products.

    FUNDED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REVENUE.  Funded research and development
revenue decreased by $1.7 million or 21% from $8.0 million to $6.4 million.
During the year ended September 30, 1999, we devoted more resources to
internally funded research and development programs including the development of
power conversion products for the distributed power generation market.

    GROSS MARGIN.  Gross margin decreased by $4.1 million from $10.1 million to
$6.0 million. Gross margin from products decreased by $2.4 million and funded
research and development revenue decreased by $1.7 million. Gross margin from
product revenue as a percentage of product revenue decreased to (4)% of product
revenue in 1999 from 27% in the prior year. Gross margin from product sales as a
percentage of product revenue decreased due to increased costs incurred in
developing new products and for additional staffing and facility costs. In
addition, we also recorded a $900,000 provision for obsolete and slow moving
inventory.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses
decreased $240,000 or 4% from $6.8 million to $6.6 million. The decrease was the
result of converting to the equity method of accounting for our investment in
Beacon Power in 1998 and thus no longer including Beacon Power's research and
development expenses in our results. In 1998, we included $1.2 million of Beacon
Power's research and development expenses in our results through December 24,
1997, at which time we converted to the equity method of accounting for our
investment in Beacon Power. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in
our effort to develop distributed power conversion systems and other internal
research and development programs.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $4.3 million or 95% from $4.5 million to
$8.8 million. This increase was primarily due to $2.2 million of non-cash,
stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of stock options and
warrants to

                                       12
<PAGE>
consultants in 1999, $1.0 million of additional reserves for unbilled contract
costs and accounts receivable and $800,000 in costs for facilities and staffing
in an effort to meet expected growth and demand for our products.

    AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES.  Amortization of intangibles increased $80,000
or 27% from $291,000 to $371,000. This was the result of the acquisition of
Inductive and Lighthouse in January 1999.

    LOSS FROM INVESTMENT IN BEACON POWER CORPORATION.  Loss from investment in
Beacon Power decreased $859,000 or 45% from $1.9 million to $1.0 million. As of
October 1, 1998, our remaining initial investment of $1.9 million in Beacon
Power has been reduced to zero. During 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. As of June 22, 1999, our investment in
Beacon Power has been reduced to zero, and no additional losses were recorded
during the period from June 23, 1999 to September 30, 1999.

    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.  Other expense, net increased to $224,000 from
$170,000 of other income, net as a result of increased interest expense and
decreased interest income.

    FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (AS RESTATED) COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR
    ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 (AS RESTATED)

    PRODUCT REVENUE.  Product revenue increased by $3.8 million or 102% from
$3.7 million to $7.5 million. The increase in product revenue was primarily due
to the impact of recording a full year of revenue in 1998 for Magmotor and FMI
versus recording less than a full year of revenue during 1997.

    FUNDED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REVENUE.  Funded research and development
revenue decreased by $727,000 or 8% from $8.7 million to $8.0 million. During
the year ended September 30, 1998, we devoted more resources to internally
funded research and development programs including the development of power
conversion products for the distributed power generation market.

    GROSS MARGIN.  Gross margin increased by $274,000 from $9.8 million to
$10.1 million. Gross margin from products increased by $1.0 million while funded
research and development revenue decreased by $727,000. Gross margin from
product revenue as a percentage of product revenue decreased to 27% of product
revenue from 28% in the prior year. Gross margin from product revenue as a
percentage of product revenue decreased due to increased costs incurred in
developing new products and for additional staffing and facility costs.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Research and development expenses
decreased $4.6 million or 41% from $11.4 million to $6.8 million. During 1997,
we expensed $4.3 million of product development costs related to Beacon Power's
flywheel system and the Integrated Suspension and Motor System (ISAM) products.
In December 1997, we converted to the equity method of accounting for our
investment in Beacon Power and only included $1.2 million of Beacon Power's
research and development expenses in our results.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased $1.7 million or 27% from $6.2 million to
$4.5 million. During 1997, we established a reserve of $500,000 for expenses,
primarily lease cancellation costs relating to the consolidation of our Tucson
Space division into our Technology Center. In 1997, we also included
$1.1 million of selling, general and administrative expense of Beacon Power in
our results. In December 1997, we converted to the equity method of accounting
for our investment in Beacon Power and only included $39,000 of Beacon Power's
selling, general and administrative expenses in our results.

    AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES.  Amortization of intangibles increased $171,000
or 143% from $120,000 to $291,000. The increase was the result of a full year of
goodwill amortization in connection with the acquisitions of Magmotor and FMI.

                                       13
<PAGE>
    LOSS FROM INVESTMENT IN BEACON POWER CORPORATION.  For 1997, our investment
in Beacon Power was accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting.
On December 24, 1997, we converted to the equity method of accounting for our
investment as a result of the recapitalization of Beacon Power, and Beacon
Power's net loss for the period October 1, 1997 through December 24, 1997 of
$1.1 million was included in our operating results. We have included
$1.9 million loss from our investment in Beacon Power for the period from
December 25, 1997 through June 1998, which equaled our remaining initial
investment in Beacon Power. As of June 30, 1998, our investment in Beacon Power
had been reduced to zero, and no additional losses were recorded during the
period from July 1, 1998 to September 30, 1998.

    OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) NET.  Other income, net decreased $99,000 or 37% from
$269,000 to $170,000. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of
interest income on marketable securities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

    As of September 30, 1999, our cash and cash equivalents were $2.5 million,
an increase of $1.3 million from September 30, 1998. Cash used in operating
activities for the year ended September 30, 1999 was $5.6 million as compared to
$2.9 million in 1998. Cash used in operating activities during the year ended
September 30, 1999 was primarily attributable to our net loss and an increase in
unbilled contract costs and fees and inventory partially offset by non-cash
items such as depreciation and amortization, loss from our investment in Beacon
Power and compensation expense related to issuance of stock options and warrants
to non-employees.

                                       15
<PAGE>
    Cash used in investing activities during the year ended September 30, 1999
was $1.4 million as compared to $1.7 million in 1998. Net cash used in investing
activities during the year ended September 30, 1999 included the acquisitions of
certain assets of Inductive, Lighthouse and HyComp of $996,000, capital and
intellectual expenditures of $323,000 and an investment in Beacon Power of
$697,000 partially offset from the proceeds from the sale of marketable
securities of $580,000. We estimate that we will spend an additional
$2.0 million on capital expenditures during fiscal year 2000, primarily to
expand our capacity to manufacture our power conversion products. We expect
these additions will be financed by cash on hand and from lease financing.

    Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended September 30,
1999 was $8.4 million. During August 1999, we completed an $8.0 million private
placement of 8,000 shares of our series A redeemable convertible preferred stock
with Brown Simpson Strategic Growth Funds. The series A redeemable convertible
preferred stock is initially convertible into 1,025,641 shares of our common
stock, at an initial conversion price of $7.80 per share. The series A
redeemable convertible preferred stock is also subject to certain dilution
protection for a period of three years. Under certain circumstances, we have the
option to cause the series A preferred stock to convert into shares of common
stock or otherwise be redeemed. At the end of seven years, we must redeem any
remaining shares of the series A redeemable convertible preferred stock for cash
or, at our option, common stock with a then fair market value equal to the
original purchase price of the series A redeemable convertible preferred stock.
The obligation at seven years to redeem any remaining shares of the series A
redeemable convertible preferred stock accelerates to the fourth anniversary of
the closing in the event the average bid price of our common stock for the 60
"trading day" period immediately preceding the fourth anniversary is $5.00 per
share or less. In the event of certain change in control events regarding us or
our common stock is delisted, Brown Simpson has the right to cause the series A
preferred stock to be redeemed. In connection with the transaction, Brown
Simpson also received warrants to purchase up to 675,000 additional shares of
common stock at $8.54 per share. The Brown Simpson warrants expire on
August 25, 2003. H.C. Wainwright & Co., Inc. served as placement agent for the
transaction and received a commission of $560,000 and warrants to purchase
120,000 shares of our common stock at $7.80 per share. These warrants expire on
August 25, 2003. H.C. Wainwright will also receive a future fee in the amount of
4% of any monies received by us upon the exercise of the Brown Simpson warrants.

    During 1999, we granted options to purchase 755,000 shares of our common
stock to consultants at prices ranging from $5.75 to $10.00 per share. As of
December 20, 1999, the consultants exercised options to purchase 450,000, 50,000
and 10,000 shares at exercise prices of $7.00, $5.75 and $6.75 per share,
respectively. As of September 30, 1999, we received approximately $1,333,000 of
cash and the remaining amount due from the shareholder is classified within
stockholders' equity as amounts receivable from exercise of stock options.

    We have a $3,000,000 demand discretionary line of credit with a bank. The
line of credit bears interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1 1/2% (9 3/4% as of
September 30, 1999). Available borrowings are based on a formula of eligible
accounts receivable and inventory. During 1999, we borrowed approximately
$2,657,000 against the line of credit. At September 30, 1999, there were no
amounts outstanding under the line of credit.

    We anticipate that the existing $2.5 million in cash and cash equivalents
will be sufficient to fund operations for at least fiscal year 2000. However,
there can be no assurance that we will not require additional financings within
this time frame or that any additional financing, if needed, will be available
to us on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS

    Our future results remain difficult to predict and may be affected by a
number of factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from
forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report

                                       16
<PAGE>
on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. These
factors include business conditions within the aerospace, transportation,
industrial, utility, telecommunications, silicon wafer manufacturing, factory
automation, aircraft and automotive industries and the world economies as a
whole, and competitive pressures that may impact research and development
spending. Our revenue growth is dependent on technology developments and
contract research and development for both the government and commercial sectors
and no assurance can be given that such investments will continue or that we can
successfully obtain such funds. In addition, our future growth opportunities are
dependent on the introduction of new products that must penetrate aerospace,
transportation, industrial, utility, telecommunications, silicon wafer
manufacturing, factory automation, aircraft and automotive market segments. No
assurance can be given that new products can be developed, or if developed, will
be successful; that competitors will not force prices to an unacceptably low
level or take market share from the us; or that we can achieve or maintain
profits in these markets. Because of these and other factors, past financial
performances should not be considered an indicator of future performance.
Investors should not use historical trends to anticipate future results and
should be aware that our stock price frequently experiences significant
volatility.

    On October 23, 1998, we granted the purchasers of Beacon Power's Series D
redeemable preferred stock the right to cause us, under circumstances described
below, to purchase all of Beacon Power's shares of Series D redeemable preferred
stock issued to those purchasers and, upon exercise of this "put right," we must
pay $4,750,000 in our common stock, valued at the average fair value for the
fifteen trading days before and after notice of exercise of the put right. The
put right is exercisable within sixty days of the second, third, forth and fifth
anniversary of the closing date of the transaction, upon certain events of
bankruptcy of Beacon Power and upon the occurrence of certain going private
transactions involving us. If the put right is exercised, we would record the
value of the shares repurchased as an additional investment in Beacon Power. If
we determine that redemption of the put right is probable or the put right is
exercised and the value we pay for the shares of Series D redeemable preferred
stock exceeds the fair market value of Beacon Power's stock, such amount would
be recorded as a loss in the period the judgement is made or the put right is
exercised. The put right will terminate, if not previously exercised, on the
earlier of (i) October 23, 2003, (ii) upon the listing of Beacon Power's common
stock on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, or
(iii) with respect to put rights resulting from an event described above, 100
days after the purchasers receive written notice from us requesting that the
purchasers either exercise or waive their put rights resulting from that event.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

    We believe that inflation and changing prices over the past three years have
not had a significant impact on our net revenue or on our income from continuing
operations.

EFFECTS OF YEAR 2000

    We have assessed our software systems and internal operations. We believe
that we have resolved all potential Year 2000 issues and problems and, to the
best of our knowledge, our systems are Year 2000 compliant. However, if our
systems do not operate properly with respect to date calculations involving the
Year 2000 and subsequent dates, we could incur unanticipated expenses to remedy
any problems, which could seriously harm our business. We may also experience
reduced sales of our products as current or potential customers reduce their
budgets due to increased expenditures on their own Year 2000 compliance efforts.

    Additionally, we rely on information technology supplied by third parties
and our other business partners, including third-party distributors and
consultants, who are also heavily dependent on information technology systems
and on their own and third-party vendor systems. Year 2000 problems experienced
by us or any of these third parties could materially adversely affect our
business. Prior versions of our products may contain technology from third
parties that is not Year 2000 compliant.

    Given the pervasive nature of the Year 2000 problem, we cannot guarantee
that disruptions in other industries and market segments will not adversely
affect our business. Moreover, our costs related to Year 2000 compliance, which
thus far have not been material, could ultimately be significant. In the event
that we experience unforeseen disruptions as a result of the Year 2000 problem,
our business could be seriously affected.

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. Adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material
impact to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

INTEREST RATE RISK

    We maintain an investment portfolio consisting of debt securities of various
issuers, types and maturities. These securities are classified as available for
sale, and consequently are recorded on the balance sheet at market value, with
the unrealized gain or loss recorded through the equity section. These
instruments are not leveraged, and are not held for purposes of trading.

    The following table summarizes derivative financial instruments included in
marketable securities held by us at September 30, 1998, which are sensitive to
changes in interest rates:

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
SatCon Technology Corporation:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SatCon
Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries (a Delaware corporation) as of
September 30, 1999 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended as
restated, see Note A. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

    We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of SatCon Technology
Corporation and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of SatCon Technology Corporation:

    In our opinion, the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in stockholders'
equity and of cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September
30, 1998 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of SatCon Technology Corporation and its
subsidiaries at September 30, 1998 and for each of the two years in the period
ended September 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule for
the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the
related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of
these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. We have not audited the
consolidated financial statements of SatCon Technology Corporation for any
period subsequent to September 30, 1998.

    As discussed in Note A, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
for the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1998 have been revised to expense
certain assets which had previously been capitalized.

A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    ORGANIZATION

    SatCon Technology Corporation (the "Company" or "SatCon") was organized as a
Massachusetts corporation in February 1985 and reincorporated in Delaware in
1992. SatCon designs, develops and manufactures intelligent, electro-mechanical
products for aerospace, transportation, industrial and utility applications.
SatCon also designs, develops and manufactures power and energy management
products for telecommunications, silicon wafer manufacturing, factory
automation, aircraft and automotive applications. The Company's
electro-mechanical products are being developed for a wide variety of U.S.
government and commercial markets. For the government, the electro-mechanical
systems provide for applications ranging from satellite attitude control to
high-speed drives for shipboard systems. In the transportation segment, SatCon
is developing electric and hybrid electric drive components, auxiliary power
units and advanced steering, alternator and starter/generator systems. The
Company is working with major equipment producers to develop process equipment
drives, high speed and precision machine tools, manipulators and machinery
isolation equipment. The Company's electro-mechanical systems may offer
advantages to the utility industry in power generation, energy storage and power
quality. In the consumer market, SatCon is developing variable speed motors for
refrigeration equipment and other long-life, high-efficiency machinery.

RESTATEMENT

    The Company has restated its financial statements for fiscal 1997, 1998 and
1999. The restatement was prompted by the recently completed initial audit of
the financial statements of its 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. 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. The Company has adjusted its
accumulated deficit as of September 30, 1996 for the effect of the 1996
restatement. The cumulative effect of this change on the Company's stockholders'
equity as of September 30, 1996, was a reduction of $924,192. The cumulative
effect of this change on the Company's stockholders' equity as of September 30,
1999, was a reduction of $130,504. The effect of this change on the reported
results for each period is as follows:

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SatCon and its
majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company performs research under cost-type, fixed-price, and
time-and-material contracts and sells product prototypes. On fixed-price
contracts, revenue is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method based on
the proportion of costs incurred to total estimated costs for each contract.
Revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed are classified in current assets
as unbilled contract costs. Certain contracts contain provisions for performance
incentives. Such incentives are included in revenue when realization is assured.
If a current contract estimate indicates a loss, a provision is made for the
total anticipated loss. 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. Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized as
services are provided.

    The Company also designs and manufactures standard products such as
multi-chip modules and hybrids, custom electric motors, and integrated
suspension and motor systems. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon
shipment. The Company provides for warranty reserves at the time product is
shipped.

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired. Cash
equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

    MARKETABLE SECURITIES

    The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

    Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in
debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at
each balance sheet date. Debt securities for which the Company does not have the
intent or ability to hold to maturity are classified as available for sale.

    Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, based on quoted
market prices, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax effect, reported
in a separate component of stockholders' equity, except for unrealized losses
determined to be permanent in nature. Such unrealized losses are included in the
determination of net income in the period in which management determines the
decline to be permanent. The Company is not actively involved in the purchase
and sale of investments classified as trading. At September 30, 1999 and 1998,
the Company had no investments that qualified as trading or held to maturity.

    The amortized cost of debt securities classified as available for sale is
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity or,
in the case of mortgage-backed securities, over the estimated life of the
security. Such amortization and interest are included in interest income.

A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
gains and losses are included in other income or expense. The cost of securities
sold is based on the specific identification method.

    INVENTORY

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and costs are
determined based on the first-in, first-out method of accounting and include
material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs.

    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is
computed using the straight-line method over the asset's estimated useful life.
The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                       ESTIMATED LIVES

Sales and demonstration equipment.........  3-10 years
Furniture and fixtures....................  7-10 years
Leasehold improvements....................  Lesser of the life of the lease or the
                                            useful life of the improvement
</TABLE>

    When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related
depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting
gain or loss is reflected in other income.

    LONG-LIVED ASSETS

    The Company periodically evaluates the potential impairment of its
long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. At the occurrence of a
certain event or change in circumstances or at each balance sheet date, the
Company evaluates the potential impairment of an asset based on future
undiscounted cash flows. In the event that impairment exists, the Company will
measure the amount of such impairment based on the present value of estimated
future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved.
Factors that management considers in performing this assessment include current
operating results, trends and prospects and, in addition, demand, competition
and other economic factors. At September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company
determined that there had been no impairment of its long-lived assets, except as
in Note E.

    Intangibles, which consist primarily of patents and trademarks, goodwill and
a non-compete agreement, are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods
ranging from 5 to 15 years. At September 30, 1999 and 1998, accumulated
amortization of intangibles amounted to $831,922 and $442,237, respectively.

    DEFERRED REVENUE

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

                         SATCON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    TREASURY STOCK

    The Company is authorized to repurchase up to 5% of the Company's
outstanding shares of common stock through July 2000. Under the repurchase
program, the Company plans to purchase shares of the Company's outstanding
common stock on the open market from time-to-time, depending on market
conditions.

    USE OF ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period
reported. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

    INCOME TAXES

    The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which is the asset and liability method for
accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax
assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary
differences between the basis of assets and liabilities using statutory rates.
In addition, SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance against net deferred
tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not
that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 requires that
companies recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options, and
other equity instruments based on fair value, or, for grants to employees,
provide pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share in the notes
to the financial statements using the fair value method.

    NET LOSS PER BASIC AND DILUTED COMMON SHARE

    The Company reports net loss per basic and diluted common share in
accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which establishes standards
for computing and presenting earnings per share. Basic earnings per share
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earnings of the Company.

    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

    Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of cash equivalents, investments in marketable
securities, trade accounts receivable, unbilled contract costs and amounts
receivable from exercise of stock options.

                         SATCON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    The Company's trade accounts receivable and unbilled contract costs and fees
are primarily from sales to U.S. government agencies and several commercial
customers. The Company does not require collateral and has not historically
experienced significant credit losses related to receivables or unbilled
contract costs and fees from individual customers or groups of customers in any
particular industry or geographic area.

    The Company deposits its cash and invests in short-term investments and
marketable securities primarily through two regional commercial banks and an
investment company. Credit exposure to any one entity is limited by company
policy.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

    The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.

    COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

    Comprehensive loss includes net loss, as well as other changes in
stockholders' equity, except stockholders' investments and distributions.

    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, unbilled contract costs and fees, accounts payable, debt
instruments and amounts receivable from exercise of stock options. The book
value of such financial instruments approximate their respective fair values due
to their short-term maturities.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS

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

    EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 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
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. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 beginning in the
first quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001.

    Adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material impact to the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

on a change in the needs of its customers and such assets were written-off
during 1999 and 1997, respectively.

F.  INVESTMENT IN BEACON POWER CORPORATION

    On May 28, 1997, SatCon Technology Corporation entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of May 28, 1997, by and among the
Company, Beacon Power Corporation ("Beacon Power"), a new wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and Duquesne Enterprises ("Duquesne"). Pursuant to
the terms of the Agreement, Duquesne purchased from the Company and the Company
issued, sold and delivered to Duquesne 798,138 shares (the "Shares") of the
Company's Common Stock. The aggregate consideration received by the Company was
$5,000,000. In exchange for a capital contribution, the Company received all of
the capital stock of Beacon Power, consisting of 3,375,000 shares of Beacon
Power's Common Stock and 1,125,000 shares of Beacon Power's preferred stock, par
value $.01 per share, as adjusted to reflect a 1:1.125 stock split. Duquesne
also entered into agreements pursuant to which it will act as exclusive
distributor of Beacon Power's products, subject to certain exceptions, in seven
Mid-Atlantic States and the District of Columbia.

    During a recapitalization of Beacon Power on December 24, 1997, Beacon Power
obtained equity financing from private investors and the Company converted a
significant portion of its ownership of Beacon Power to non-voting convertible
preferred stock and the Company began accounting for its

    The restated amounts reflects treating certain costs as expenses rather than
being included in the value of the net assets of Beacon Power (See Note A).

    At September 30, 1998, the Company had amounts of $596,453 due from Beacon
Power. These amounts arose from transactions after December 24, 1997, whereby
the Company advanced money and made payments for certain expenses incurred by
Beacon Power. Such amounts were subsequently repaid in connection with the
October 23, 1998 financing.

    On October 23, 1998, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement, by and among Beacon Power, Perseus Capital, L.L.C. ("Perseus"),
Duquesne, Micro Generation Technology Fund, L.L.C ("Micro", and together with
Perseus and Duquesne, the "Purchasers") and the Company. Pursuant to the terms
of the Agreement, (i) the Purchasers purchased from Beacon Power and Beacon
Power issued, sold and delivered to the Purchasers 1,900,000 shares (the
"Shares") of Beacon's Class D Redeemable Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per
share; (ii) the Purchasers have the right to receive certain warrants to
purchase shares of Beacon Power's common stock, $.01 par value per share
("Beacon Power's Common Stock"); (iii) the Company granted the Purchasers the
right (the "Put Right") to cause the Company, in circumstances described below,
to purchase all of the Shares and all of Beacon Power's Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Shares; and (iv) upon exercise of the Put Right pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, the Company must pay the consideration
contemplated by the Agreement in shares of the Company's common stock, $.01 par
value per share, valued at the average fair value for the 15 trading days before
and after notice of exercise of the Put Right. The aggregate consideration
received by Beacon Power was $4,750,000. The Put Right is exercisable within 60
days of the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the closing date of
the transaction, upon certain events of bankruptcy of Beacon Power and upon the
occurrence of certain going private transactions involving the Company. If the
put right is exercised, the Company would record the value of the shares
repurchased as an additional investment in Beacon Power. If management
determines that redemption of the put right is probable or the put right is
exercised and the value paid for the shares of Series D redeemable preferred
stock exceeds the fair market value of Beacon Power's stock, such amount would
be recorded as a loss in the period that the judgement is made or the put right
is exercised. The put right will terminate, if not previously exercised, on the
earlier of (i) October 23, 2003, (ii) upon the listing of Beacon Power's common
stock on the New York Stock

Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, or (iii) with respect to put rights
resulting from an event described above, 100 days after the Purchasers receive
written notice from the Company requesting that the Purchasers either exercise
or waive their put rights resulting from that event. The Company retained
approximately 0.1% of Beacon Power's outstanding voting stock; however, there
was a presumption that the Company had the ability to exercise significant
influence, and therefore, the Company continues to account for its investment
using the equity method of accounting.

    On June 22, 1999, the Company purchased from Beacon Power a note (the "June
22, 1999 Note") with a principal amount of $125,000 due and payable on the
earlier of (i) September 22, 1999 ("Maturity Date") or (ii) upon the occurrence
of an event of default, as defined therein. The note bears interest at 12 % per
annum; provided that, if the note is not repaid in full on or prior to Maturity
Date, the interest rate would increase to 15% per annum. The June 22, 1999 Note
was issued pursuant to the terms of a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of
June 22, 1999, by and among Beacon Power, the Purchasers named therein, and the
Company (the "Note Purchase Agreement"). Interest on the June 22, 1999 Note is
payable on the Maturity Date.

    On July 6, 1999, the Company purchased from Beacon Power an additional note
(the "July 6, 1999 Note") with a principal amount of $125,000 due and payable on
the earlier of (i) Maturity Date or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event of
default. The note bears interest at 12 % per annum; provided, that if the note
is not repaid in full on or prior to Maturity Date, the interest rate would
increase to 15% per annum (the "July 6, 1999 Note" and together with the
June 22, 1999 Note, the "Notes"). The July 6, 1999 Note was also issued pursuant
to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement. Interest on the July 6, 1999 Note
is payable on the Maturity Date.

    In August 1999, the Company exchanged in full the Notes and $83,333.33 for a
note with a principal amount of $333,333.33 ("Bridge Note") plus accrued
interest due and payable on the earlier of (i) the date of conversion of the
note as described below or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event of default. The
Bridge Note bears interest at 12 % per annum; provided that if the Funding Date
(as defined below) does not occur within six months, such interest rate shall
increase effective February 2, 2000 to 15% per annum. The Bridge Note was issued
pursuant to the terms of a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of
August 2, 1999, by and among Beacon Power, the Purchasers named therein, and the
Company (the "Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement"). Interest on the Bridge Note
is payable on the Maturity Date.

    Pursuant to the terms of the Note and Warrant Purchase, the Company
purchased two (2) additional notes each with a principal amount of $333,333.33
on September 16, 1999 and October 19, 1999. The Bridge Note and the additional
notes each with a principal amount of $333,333.33 are collectively referred to
as the "Bridge Securities."

    In the event that Beacon Power obtains a funding commitment for at least $5
million of external funds within four months of the issuance of the first Bridge
Security and closes a funding pursuant to such commitment within six months of
the first issuance of the first Bridge Security (the date of such funding, the
"Funding Date"), all outstanding principal and interest on the Bridge Securities
will convert into equity of Beacon Power at a price and on terms that are
equivalent to the securities issued by Beacon Power pursuant to the funding
commitment. If Beacon Power does not obtain a qualified financing commitment
within the four-month period referred to above, or close such funding within the
six-month period referred to above, the Bridge Securities will convert into
securities of Beacon Power pursuant to terms to be agreed

to with Beacon Power, or if no terms are agreed to, the Company has the right to
demand payment of all principal and interest on the Bridge Securities.

    Warrants to purchase shares of Beacon Power Securities were issued in
connection with each issuance of the Bridge Securities. The warrants are for the
purchase of the type of securities to be issued upon conversion of the Bridge
Securities or if such securities are not converted, Beacon Power Common Stock.
The number of shares of Beacon Power securities that will be subject to the
warrants will be determined by dividing (i) 25% of the principal amount of the
Bridge Securities issued by (ii) the price per share of the Bridge Securities,
or, if the Bridge Securities are not converted, $2.50.

    At September 30, 1999, the Company has accrued losses of $333,333 relating
to its share of Beacon Power losses, which it is required to fund pursuant to
the terms of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement.

    Upon the conversion of Beacon Power's series D redeemable preferred stock
into common stock, the Company's investment in Beacon Power and additional paid
in capital would be written up to reflect its beneficial interest in the
proceeds of the series D redeemable preferred stock financing, in accordance
with Staff Accounting Bulletin 51. At the time of the conversion, the Company
would record its share of suspended losses in Beacon Power.

G.  LINE OF CREDIT

    In December 1998, as modified, the Company obtained a $3,000,000 demand
discretionary line of credit with a bank. The line of credit bears interest at
the bank's prime rate plus 1 1/2% (9 3/4% as of September 30, 1999). Available
borrowings are based on a formula of eligible accounts receivable and inventory.
There were no amounts outstanding under the line of credit at September 30,
1999. During 1999, the maximum amount outstanding on the line of credit was
$2,657,234. The Company has pledged all assets of the Company as collateral
against this line of credit.

    On March 1, 1999, the Company reached a definitive settlement arrangement
with Albert R. Snider (the "Settlement Agreement"), the holder of the note
payable which commenced on April 16, 1997, regarding the suit filed against Mr.
Snider for breach of certain representations made by him, including statements
of inventory balances in the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 3,
1997, between FMI and Mr. Snider relating to the purchase of the business of FMI
and a counterclaim filed by Mr. Snider seeking, among other things, payments
allegedly due from the Company under a promissory note.

    Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company made a
$100,000 cash payment to Mr. Snider on March 9, 1999 and the parties executed
mutual general releases dismissing any and all claims between them. In addition,
the Settlement Agreement provides a right of first refusal in favor of the
Company with respect to certain shares of the Company's Common Stock,
beneficially owned by Mr. Snider. Concurrently with the execution of the
Settlement Agreement, the Company and Mr. Snider entered into a consulting
agreement pursuant to which Mr. Snider will perform certain consulting, advisory
and related services as the Company may reasonably request from time to time
between October 1, 1999 and October 1, 2002. In exchange for these services, the
Company issued 42,860 shares of its Common Stock to an escrow agent who will
release such shares to Mr. Snider or his nominees on January 2, 2001. The
Company has recorded these shares held in escrow at market value and as a
reduction to stockholders' equity as of September 30, 1999. The Company will
continue to mark-to-market these securities until such shares are released from
escrow.

    The Company will amortize the market value of the common stock held in
escrow as consulting, advisory and related services expense as services are
provided between the period October 1, 1999 and October 1, 2002.

    The Company has placed a full valuation allowance against its net deferred
tax assets since the Company believes it is "more likely than not" that it will
not be able to utilize its deferred tax asset.

    A decrease in net deferred tax assets and a decrease in the valuation
allowance in the amount of approximately $1,240,000 (as restated) each has been
made to account for the recapitalization of Beacon Power Corporation during the
year ended September 30, 1998.

    At September 30, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of
approximately $16,550,000 (as restated) and $7,976,000 (as restated) for federal

expire beginning September 30, 2008 through 2019. The state net operating losses
will expire beginning September 30, 2000 through 2004. The use of these losses
may be limited due to ownership change limitations under Section 382 of the

L.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

    STOCK OPTIONS

    Under the Company's 1992, 1994, 1996 and 1998 Stock Option Plans, both
qualified and non-qualified stock options may be granted to certain officers,
employees, directors and consultants to purchase up to 1,550,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. At September 30, 1999, all of the 1,550,000 stock
options available for grant under the Company's 1992, 1994, 1996 and 1998 Stock
Option Plan have been granted.

    During 1999, the Company adopted its 1999 Stock Option Plan that provides
for the grant to employees, officers, directors and consultants for qualified
and non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. At September 30, 1999, 816,898 of the 1,500,000 stock
options available for grant under the Company's 1999 Stock Option Plan have been
granted.

    The 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, and 1999 Stock Option Plans (collectively the
"Plans") are subject to the following provisions:

    The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date the option is
granted) of the common stock that any employee may purchase in any calendar year
pursuant to the exercise of qualified options may not exceed $100,000. No person
who owns, directly or indirectly, at the time of the granting of a qualified
option to him or her, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company shall be eligible to receive any qualified
options under the Plans unless the option price is at least 110% of the fair
market value of the common stock subject to the option, determined on the date
of grant. Non-qualified options are not subject to this limitation.

    Qualified options are issued only to employees of the Company, while
non-qualified options may be issued to non-employee directors, consultants, and
others, as well as to employees of the Company. Options granted under the Plans
may not be granted with an exercise price less than 100% of fair value of the
Company's common stock, as determined by the Board of Directors on the grant
date.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

L.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
    Options under the Plans must be granted within 10 years from the effective
date of the Plan. Qualified options granted under the Plans cannot be exercised
more than 10 years from the date of grant, except that qualified options issued
to 10% or greater stockholders are limited to five-year terms. All options
granted under the Plans provide for the payment of the Company's exercise price
in cash, or by delivery to the Company of shares of common stock already owned
by the optionee having fair market value equal to the exercise price of the
options being exercised, or by a combination of such methods of payment.

    The Plans contain antidilutive provisions authorizing appropriate
adjustments in certain circumstances. Shares of common stock subject to options
that expire without being exercised or that are canceled as a result of the
cessation of employment are available for further grants.

    A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans as of September
30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and changes for the years then ended are presented

assumptions: an expected life of seven years, expected volatility of 80.0%, no
dividends, and risk-free interest rate of 6.08% for September 30, 1999; an
expected life of seven years, expected volatility of 57.9%, no dividends, and
risk-free interest rate of 5.76% for September 30, 1998; and an expected life of

options granted for years ended September 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 are $5.21,
$7.14 and $5.80, respectively.

M.  PREFERRED STOCK

    The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, $.01 par value. The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series,
the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of
Directors, without further action by stockholders, and may include voting rights
(including the right to vote as a series on particular matters), preferences as
to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund
provisions

    On August 25, 1999, the Company completed an $8 million private placement of
8,000 shares of its Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par
value per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), with Brown Simpson Strategic
Growth Funds ("Brown Simpson"). The Series A Preferred Stock is initially
convertible into 1,025,641 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value
per share (the "Common Stock"), at an initial conversion price of $7.80 per
share. The Series A Preferred Stock is also subject to certain dilution
protection for a period of three years. Under certain circumstances, the Company
has the option to cause the Series A Preferred Stock to convert into shares of
Common Stock or otherwise be redeemed. At the end of seven years, the Company
must redeem any remaining shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for cash or, at
the Company's option, Common Stock with a then fair market value equal to the
original purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock. The obligation at seven
years to redeem any remaining shares of the Series A Preferred Stock accelerates
to the fourth anniversary of the closing in the event that the average bid price
of the Company's Common Stock for the 60 "trading day" period immediately
preceeding the fourth anniversary is $5 per share or less. In the event of
certain changes in control events regarding the Company or if the Common Stock
is delisted, Brown Simpson has the right to cause the Series A Preferred Stock
to be redeemed.

    In connection with the transaction, Brown Simpson also received warrants to
purchase up to 675,000 additional shares of Common Stock at $8.54 per share (the
"Brown Simpson Warrants"). The Brown Simpson Warrants expire on August 25, 2003.
The Company has allocated $1,818,558 of the proceeds, net of $1,338,234
transaction costs, based on the fair value of these warrants, as determined by
the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

    H.C. Wainwright & Co., Inc. ("H.C. Wainwright") served as placement agent
for the transaction and received a commission of $560,000 and warrants to
purchase 120,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $7.80 per share. These
warrants expire on August 25, 2003. H.C. Wainwright will also receive a future
fee in the amount of 4% of any monies received by the Company upon the exercise
of the Brown Simpson Warrants. The Company has recorded the fair value of these
warrants, as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model, of $550,734
as a transaction cost of this offering.

    The Company has valued the redeemable convertible preferred stock at
issuance to be $4,843,208 based on the relative fair market values of the
financial instruments issued in connection with this placement. The Company will
accrete the carrying value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock to its
redeemable value of $8,000,000 at August 25, 2003, in the event that the average
bid price for the 60 trading days prior is $5.00 or less, using the effective
interest method. As of September 30, 1999, the Company has accreted $50,904 and
recorded this as a charge against additional paid-in capital.

S.  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.

    SatCon Technolgy Corporation provides research and development services in
collaboration with third-parties. Film Microelectronics, Inc designs and
manufactures power electronics products. The Magmotor Division specializes in
the engineering and manufacturing of motion-control products. The Company's
principal operations and markets are located in North America.

    The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies. 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.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

    NATURE OF BUSINESS--Beacon Power Corporation (the "Company" or "Beacon") (a
development stage company) was incorporated on May 8, 1997 as a wholly owned
subsidiary of SatCon Technology Corporation ("SatCon"). Since its inception,
Beacon has been engaged in the development of flywheel devices for storing and
transmitting kinetic energy. As of December 31, 1999, the Company has not yet
commenced its planned principal activities of marketing and manufacturing such
devices and accordingly is accounted for as a development stage company under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. As of December 31, 1999, a
majority of the Company's outstanding shares is owned by SatCon. However, in
conjunction with the October 1998 Class D preferred stock offering, the
Company's minority investors were granted the right to appoint a majority of the
members of the Company's Board of Directors.

    The Company has a single operating segment, manufacturing alternative power
sources. The Company has no organizational structure dictated by product lines,
geography or customer type.

    OPERATIONS--The Company has experienced net losses since its inception and,
as of December 31, 1999, had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$14.7 million. The Company is currently facing the challenge of finalizing
development of a viable commercial product and raising adequate capital to
sustain operations. As discussed in Note 15, during the period during
January 1, 2000 to May 25, 2000, the Company secured additional financing of
approximately $32 million. Management believes that this funding is sufficient
to continue its operations as a going concern through at least December 31,
2000.

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES--The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

    RECAPITALIZATION--The accompanying financial statements reflect a
recapitalization of the Company in 1997 when one shareholder exchanged shares of
common stock for Class A preferred stock.

    STOCK SPLIT--The accompanying financial statements reflect a 1.125 for 1
split of the Company's preferred and common stock. All share and per share
information herein has been retroactively restated to reflect this split.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits
and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
acquired. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT--Property and equipment, including leasehold
improvements, are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

                                  (UNAUDITED)

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    (CONTINUED)
    DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS--Deferred financing costs consist of legal,
administrative, financing and other related expenses incurred in connection with
the Class E financing completed during the year ending December 31, 2000 and
will be amortized over the terms of the obligations using the effective interest
method.

    OTHER ASSETS--Other assets consist of unamortized legal expenses related to
patents.

    CONTRACT LOSSES--Substantially all of the Company's sales commitments are
firm fixed-price. Revenue and cost of revenue on such sales commitments are
recorded as deliveries are made. Estimates of costs to complete are reviewed and
revised periodically and accruals for estimated losses from such revisions are
recorded in the accounting period in which the revisions are made. Losses on
contracts are recorded in full as they are identified.

    LONG-LIVED ASSETS--At the occurrence of certain events or changes in
circumstances, the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets
to determine if impairment has occurred and, if necessary, adjusts the carrying
value accordingly. No adjustments have been required to date.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION--Revenue relates to work performed under research and
development contracts. Revenue is recognized as services are performed.

    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION--Compensation expense associated with awards of
stock or options to employees is measured using the intrinsic-value method.
Compensation expense associated with awards to nonemployees is measured using
the fair-value method and is amortized over the vesting period of three years.

    INCOME TAXES--Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets
and liabilities and tax loss and credit carryforwards using the currently
enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided to the extent
realization of deferred tax assets is not considered more likely than not.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT--Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred.

    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable to investors and capital lease
obligations approximate their fair values.

    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK--Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of
cash and cash equivalents. Substantially all of the Company's cash and cash
equivalents are managed by one financial institution. At December 31, 1999, the
Company had cash balances at a financial institution in excess of federally
insured limits. However, the Company does not believe that it is subject to
unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial
banking relationships.

    COMPREHENSIVE LOSS--Comprehensive loss is the same as net loss for all
periods presented.

    RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS--In June 1998, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging

activities. The statement, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. Management is currently evaluating the effect of adopting
SFAS No. 133 on the financial statements.

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition" (SAB 101). SAB 101
established guidelines for revenue recognition and is effective for periods
beginning no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1999. Management does not expect that the adoption of SAB 101
will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

    LOSS PER SHARE--Loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss
per share was computed in the same manner. The impact of the Company's
outstanding potential common shares, such as options and warrants (computed
using the treasury stock method) and convertible preferred stock, were excluded
from the calculation because such items were antidilutive.

    The weighted average number of shares of common stock issuable during the
year ended December 31, 1999 and the period from May 8, 1997 (date of inception)
to December 31, 1999 were 8,149,460 and 5,338,018, respectively, upon the
exercise of options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock
outstanding.

3.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31 1999:

</TABLE>

4.  NOTES PAYABLE TO INVESTORS

    At December 31, 1999, notes payable to investors consists of Senior Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Senior Notes") held by the Company's primary
investors. The Senior Notes bear interest, which is payable upon conversion, at
an annual rate of 12.5%, increasing to 15% after six months if the Class E
redeemable convertible preferred stock ("Class E Stock") funding had not
occurred at that time.

connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the investors received

    On April 7, 2000, the Senior Notes and accrued interest were converted into
Class E Stock (see Note 15).

$4.45 per share, plus any declared and unpaid dividends thereon. Holders of the
Class A Stock have the right to receive the same dividends as declared by the
Board of Directors on common shares on an "as-if-converted" basis. The Class A
Stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock upon the
closing of a public offering of common stock of the Company, upon a vote of the
Board of Directors or upon the automatic conversion of the Class D preferred
stock (see Note 8). Class A Stock is subordinate to Class D, E and F preferred
stock and has parity with Class B and C preferred stock. The Class A stock does
not have redemption features.

    CLASS B AND C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK--Each share of Class B convertible
preferred stock ("Class B Stock") and Class C convertible preferred stock
("Class C Stock") is convertible into one share of common stock at the option of
the holder. The holders of the Class B and C Stock have voting rights equivalent
to the number of shares of common stock into which their shares of Class B and C
Stock convert. The Class B and C Stock have the right to receive the same
dividends as declared by the Board of Directors on common shares on an
"as-if-converted" basis. The Class B and C Stock will automatically be converted
into shares of common stock upon the closing of a public offering of common
stock of the Company, upon a vote of the Board of Directors, upon the automatic
conversion of the Class D preferred Stock (see Note 8), or upon conversion of
the Class A Stock. Class B and C Stock have parity with Class A in liquidation
and are subordinate to Class D, E and F preferred stock. The Class B and
C Stock do not have redemption features.

8.  REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

    CLASS D REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK--The Company has authorized
6,000,000 shares of Class D convertible preferred stock ("Class D Stock") with a
par value of $.01 per share. On October 23, 1998, the Company issued 1,900,000
shares of Class D Stock and received net proceeds of approximately $4,486,000.
Issuance costs totaled approximately $264,000 and are being accreted to the
carrying value of the Class D Stock over the period to the stock's earliest
redemption date. Each share of Class D Stock is convertible into one share of
common stock at the option of the holder. The holders of the Class D Stock have
voting rights equivalent to the number of shares of common stock into which
their shares of Class D Stock convert. Holders of the Class D Stock are also
entitled to appoint representatives to the Board of Directors. The Class D Stock
earns cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12.5% through May 23, 2000 and
6% on and after this date, payable quarterly. Dividends can be paid in shares of
Class D Stock through May 23, 2000 and after this date, are payable only in
cash. Cumulative dividends not paid on Class D Stock total $112,153 and $749,005
as of December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Upon liquidation, holders of
Class D Stock are entitled to receive, out of funds then generally available,
unpaid dividends previously declared or accrued and a per share amount of $2.50.
The Class D Stock is redeemable by the holder at any time after December 31,
2004 for the stated value of $2.50 per share plus accrued, but unpaid,
dividends. The Class D Stock will automatically be converted into shares of
common stock upon a change in ownership of 50% of the Company's outstanding
voting stock, upon a merger or consolidation of the Company or upon the sale of
significant assets of the Company, or upon the closing of a qualified public
offering.

    Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement related to the Class D Stock (the
"Class D Agreement"), the Company is bound by certain covenants. The Class D
Stock is senior to the Class A, B and C Stock, subordinate to Class F preferred
stock and has parity with Class E preferred Stock (see Note 15).

9.  COMMON STOCK

9.  COMMON STOCK (CONTINUED)
    RESERVED SHARES--At December 31, 1999, 9,130,420 shares of common stock were
reserved for issuance under the Company's stock option plan, outstanding
warrants and for the potential conversion of preferred stock.

10.  STOCK WARRANTS

    At its inception in 1997, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 562,500
shares of common stock to an investor at the price of $5.33 per share (the "1997
warrant"). The warrant expired unexercised on May 28, 1999. Value ascribed to
this warrant was not material.

    Under the conditions of the Class D Stock offering, the Company issued
warrants in October 1999 to three investors to purchase 386,250 shares of common
stock at $3.33, 386,250 shares of common stock at $4.50, and 386,250 shares of
common stock at $6 (the "October 1999 warrants"). The estimated fair value of
the warrants at the date of their issuance was $280,000. This amount has been
recorded as a dividend to the holders of the Class D Stock and credited to
additional paid-in-capital. These warrants expire December 31, 2004. Additional
warrants were issued under the Class D agreement during April 2000 (see
Note 15).

    In conjunction with the issuance of the Senior Notes in August 1999, the
Company issued warrants to four investors to purchase 315,000 shares of Class E
Stock (or common stock if the warrant was exercised prior to the Class E Stock
financing (see Note 15)) at an exercise price of $2.50 per share (the "August
1999 warrants"). The estimated fair value of the warrants at the date of grant
was $170,000. This amount has been recorded as a discount on the Senior Notes
and was charged to interest expense in 1999 as the Senior Notes are demand
notes. These warrants expire on August 2, 2004.

    In conjunction with the Class E conversion in April 2000 (see Note 15), the
August 1999 warrants were cancelled.

    All warrants were valued on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
(common stock) or the Binary Option Pricing Model (preferred stock). The
assumptions used to value these warrants were as follows:

    As described in Note 2, the Company uses the intrinsic-value method to
measure compensation expense associated with grants of stock options to
employees. If the Company had used the fair value method to measure
compensation, reported net loss would have been as follows:

    The fair value of the options on their grant date was measured using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Key assumptions used to apply this
option-pricing model are as follows:

11.  STOCK OPTIONS (CONTINUED)
    The option-pricing model used was designed to value readily tradable stock
options with relatively short lives. However, management believes that the
assumptions used to value the options and the model applied yield a reasonable
estimate of the fair value of the grants made under the circumstances.

12.  INCOME TAXES

    The components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes consisted of the
following:

</TABLE>

    The valuation allowance increased by $2,347,245 in 1999, primarily due to
the generation of net operating loss carryforwards and credits for which
realization is not reasonably assured.

12.  INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
    The Company has available for future periods federal and state tax net
operating loss carryforwards for federal and state purposes of approximately
$11,850,000 and $11,616,000, respectively, as of December 31, 1999. In addition,
the Company has business credits of approximately $524,958 as of December 31,
1999. The net operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2012 and 2002 for
federal and state tax purposes, respectively. The federal research and
development credits begin to expire in 2012. The Company did not pay any income
taxes from inception to December 31, 1999.

    Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial
changes in the Company's ownership may have limited, or may limit in the future,
the amount of net operating loss carryforwards which could be utilized annually
to offset future taxable income and income tax liabilities. The amount of any
annual limitation is determined based upon the Company's value prior to an
ownership change.

13.  BENEFIT PLAN

    In 1998, the Company created a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") for
its full-time employees. Each participant in the Plan may elect to contribute a
percentage of his or her annual compensation to the Plan on a pre-tax basis up
to the annual limit established by the Internal Revenue Service ($10,200 for
1999). The Company matches employee contributions at a rate of 50% up to the
first 6% of the employee's contributions. The Company may also elect to make a
profit-sharing contribution based on the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Employee contributions are fully vested. Company matching and profit sharing
contributions vest 20% after two years of service consisting of at least
1,000 hours per calendar year and 20% annually thereafter. Company contributions
were $41,963 and $61,339 during 1999, and the period from May 8, 1997 (date of
inception) to December 31, 1999, respectively.

14.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    CONSULTING AGREEMENTS--The Company entered into consulting agreements with
three investors in 1998 and 1997. The contracts are seven-year agreements,
renewable annually thereafter, for consulting services to be provided by the
investors in exchange for annual issuances of shares of the Company's Class A
Stock. During 1999 and the period from May 8, 1997 (date of inception),
$300,000, and $562,500, respectively, was recorded as consulting expense
relating to these agreements, and 145,000 and 265,000 shares of Class A Stock in
1999 and the period from May 8, 1997 (date of inception) to December 31, 1999,
respectively, were issued or issuable as compensation under these contracts.
Prepaid and accrued consulting expenses have been recorded annually, based on
the terms and dates of the consulting agreements. The services provided by the
investors were recorded based upon the value of the securities issued. These
contracts all expire immediately upon an initial public offering of the
Company's common stock.

    PATENTS--The Company has entered into an agreement with SatCon whereby
SatCon granted the Company a perpetual license to use the technology patented by
SatCon relating to the field of flywheel energy storage products, systems and
processes for stationary terrestrial applications.

    SERVICES AGREEMENTS--SatCon performs certain research and development,
administrative and other services for the Company. Amounts paid to SatCon for
such services rendered amounted to approximately $59,000 and $1,853,000 during
1999 and the period from May 8, 1997 (date of inception) to December 31, 1999,
respectively.

14.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
    DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT--In 1997, the Company signed a 20-year agreement
which granted an investor (DQE Enterprises, Inc.) exclusive rights to distribute
certain of the Company's products in a territory comprised of seven Mid-Atlantic
states and the District of Columbia. However, the Company retained the right to
distribute products directly to cable television and telephone companies.

15.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    BRIDGE FINANCING--On January 7, 2000, the Company received $600,000 of
bridge loans bearing annual interest at a rate of 12.5%; $200,000 of these loans
were repaid in February 2000 and the remaining loans were converted into
Class E redeemable convertible preferred stock (the "Class E Stock") in
conjunction with the Class E conversion (see below).

    In February, March and April 2000, the Company received additional bridge
financing of $1,400,000 from previous investors and $4,100,000 from new and
previous investors (the "Class F Bridge Loans"). The Class F Bridge Loans bear
annual interest at a rate of 6%. $5,200,000 of these loans were converted into
Class F redeemable convertible preferred stock ("Class F Stock") in May 2000,
(see below). The remaining $300,000 plus interest was repaid in April 2000.

    In conjunction with the April bridge loans, investors were granted warrants
to purchase 41,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $4.20 per share.
These warrants expire April 21, 2005. The estimated fair value of such warrants
is $27,000 based on the Black-Scholes Pricing Model.

    WARRANTS ISSUED UNDER CLASS D AGREEMENT--Under the conditions of the
Class D Stock offering, the Company issued warrants in April 2000 to three
investors to purchase 356,250 shares of common stock at $3.33, 356,250 shares of
common stock at $4.50, and 356,250 shares of common stock at $6. Upon issuance
of these warrants the Company recorded a dividend of approximately $1,300,000
for the fair market value of these warrants based on the Black-Scholes Pricing
Model. These warrants expire December 31, 2004.

    CLASS E CONVERSION--During April 2000, the Company authorized 2,000,000
shares of $.01 par value per share Class E Stock. On April 7, 2000, the Company
converted $3,550,000 of bridge loans plus interest of $275,559 into 1,226,141
shares of Class E Stock (the "Class E conversion"). Each share of Class E Stock
is convertible into one share of common stock at the option of the holder.
Holders of the Class E Stock have voting rights equivalent to the number of
shares of common stock into which their shares of Class E Stock convert. Holders
of the Class E Stock also share with the Class D Stock shareholders the right to
appoint representatives to the Board of Directors. The Class E Stock earns
cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12.5% through May 23, 2000 and 6% on
and after this date, payable quarterly. Dividends are payable in shares of
Class E Stock through May 23, 2000 and after this date, are payable in cash.
Upon liquidation, holders of Class E Stock are entitled to receive, out of funds
then generally available unpaid dividends previously declared or accrued and a
per share amount of $3.12. The Class E Stock is redeemable by the holder at any
time after December 31, 2004 for the stated value of $3.12 per share plus
accrued but unpaid dividends. The Class E Stock will automatically be converted
into shares of common stock upon a change in ownership of 50% of the Company's
outstanding voting stock, upon a merger or consolidation of the Company, upon
the sale of significant assets of the Company, or upon consummation of a
qualified public offering.

    Class E Stock is senior to Class A, B and C Stock, on parity with Class D
Stock and subordinate to Class F Stock.

15.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED)
    In conjunction with the Class E conversion, warrants totaling 315,000,
issued in conjunction with the issuance of the Senior Notes in August 1999
(Note 10), were cancelled. In exchange, warrants to purchase 306,535 shares of
Class E Stock at $2.50 per share were issued. These warrants expire April 7,
2005. The estimated fair market value of these warrants is approximately
$344,000 based on the Binary Option Pricing Model.

    Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement related to the Class E Stock, the
Company is bound by certain covenants.

    CLASS F ISSUANCE--During May 2000 the Company authorized 7,500,000 shares of
$.01 par value Class F Stock. On May 23, 2000, the Company sold 6,785,711 shares
of Class F Stock for a total of $28.5 million, and accordingly, the outstanding
Class F Bridge Loans of $5,200,000 were converted to Class F Stock.

    Each share of Class F Stock is convertible into one share of common stock at
the option of the holder. Holders of the Class F Stock have voting rights
equivalent to the number of shares of common stock into which their shares of
Class F Stock convert. The Class F Stock earns cumulative dividends at an annual
rate of 6%, payable quarterly. Dividends are payable in cash. The Class F Stock
will automatically be converted into shares of common stock immediately prior to
a merger or consolidation of the Company or upon the sale of significant assets
of the Company, or the consummation of a qualified public offering. The Class F
shareholders are entitled to appoint representatives to the Board of Directors.
The Class F stock is redeemable by the holder at any time after May 23, 2005 at
a price per share equal to the sum of the Class F stated value, initially $4.20
per share, multiplied by the number of shares to be redeemed, plus all accrued
but unpaid dividends.

    The Class F Stock is senior to all other classes of preferred stock.

    Upon liquidation, holders of the Class F stock are entitled to receive, out
of funds then generally available, unpaid dividends previously paid or accrued
and a per share amount equal to the Class F stated value.

    Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement related to the Class F Stock (the
"Class F Agreement"), the Company is bound by certain covenants.

    Under the conditions of the Class F Agreement, the Company will issue
warrants for shares of common stock equal to $14,250,000 divided by the warrant
price. The warrant price is defined as 75% of the lower of: (i) the effective
price per share of common stock paid by the acquirer in a sale transaction as
determined by a nationally recognized banking firm chosen by the Company and
approved by a majority of the purchasers that hold a majority of the aggregate

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Beacon Power Corporation:

    We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Beacon Power Corporation
(the "Company")(a development stage company) as of December 31, 1998 and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for
the year then ended and for the period May 8, 1997 (date of inception) through
December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

    We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Beacon Power Corporation as
of December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year then ended and for the period May 8, 1997 (date of inception) through
December 31, 1998 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

             BEACON POWER CORPORATION (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

    NATURE OF BUSINESS--Beacon Power Corporation (the "Company" or "Beacon") (a
development stage company) was incorporated on May 8, 1997 as a wholly owned
subsidiary of SatCon Technology Corporation ("SatCon"). Since its inception,
Beacon has been engaged in the development of flywheel devices for storing and
transmitting kinetic energy. As of December 31, 1998, the Company has not yet
commenced its planned principal activities of marketing and manufacturing such
devices and accordingly is accounted for as a development stage company under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. As of December 31, 1998, a
majority of the Company's outstanding shares is owned by SatCon. However, in
conjunction with the October 1998 Class D preferred stock offering, the
Company's minority investors were granted the right to appoint a majority of the
members of the Company's Board of Directors.

    The Company has a single operating segment, manufacturing alternative power
sources. The Company has no organizational structure dictated by product lines,
geography or customer type.

    OPERATIONS--The Company has experienced net losses since its inception and,
as of December 31, 1998, had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$8 million. The Company is currently facing the challenge of finalizing
development of a viable commercial product and raising adequate capital to
sustain operations. As discussed in Note 15, during the period during
January 1, 1999 to May 25, 2000, the Company secured additional financing of
approximately $32 million. Management believes that this funding is sufficient
to continue its operations as a going concern through at least December 31,
2000.

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES--The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

    RECAPITALIZATION--The accompanying financial statements reflect a
recapitalization of the Company in 1997 when one shareholder exchanged shares of
common stock for Class A preferred stock.

    STOCK SPLIT--The accompanying financial statements reflect a 1.125 for 1
split of the Company's preferred and common stock. All share and per share
information herein has been retroactively restated to reflect this split.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits
and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
acquired. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT--Property and equipment, including leasehold
improvements, are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    (CONTINUED)
    LONG-LIVED ASSETS--At the occurrence of certain events or changes in
circumstances, the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets
to determine if impairment has occurred and, if necessary, adjusts the carrying
value accordingly. No adjustments have been required to date.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION--Revenue relates to work performed under research and
development contracts. Revenue is recognized as services are performed.

    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION--Compensation expense associated with awards of
stock or options to employees is measured using the intrinsic-value method.
Compensation expense associated with awards to nonemployees is measured using
the fair-value method and is amortized over the vesting period of three years.

    INCOME TAXES--Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets
and liabilities and tax loss and credit carryforwards using the currently
enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided to the extent
realization of deferred tax assets is not considered more likely than not.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT--Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred.

    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable to investors and capital lease
obligations approximate their fair values.

    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK--Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of
cash and cash equivalents. Substantially all of the Company's cash and cash
equivalents are managed by one financial institution. At December 31, 1998, the
Company had cash balances at a financial institution in excess of federally
insured limits. However, the Company does not believe that it is subject to
unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial
banking relationships.

    COMPREHENSIVE LOSS--Comprehensive loss is the same as net loss for all
periods presented.

    RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS--In June 1998, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. The statement, as amended, is effective
for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management is currently
evaluating the effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 on the financial statements.

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition" (SAB 101). SAB 101
established guidelines for revenue recognition and is effective for periods
beginning no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1999. Management does not expect that the adoption of SAB 101
will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

    LOSS PER SHARE--Loss per share has been computed using the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss
per share was computed in the same manner. The impact of the Company's
outstanding potential common shares, such as options and warrants

(computed using the treasury stock method) and convertible preferred stock, were
excluded from the calculation because such items were antidilutive.

    The weighted average number of shares of common stock issuable during the
year ended December 31, 1998 and the period from May 8, 1997 (date of inception)
through December 31, 1998 aggregated 7,247,769 and 4,294,283, respectively, upon
the exercise of options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock
outstanding.

receive, out of funds then generally available, unpaid dividends previously
declared or accrued and a per share amount of $2.50. The Class D Stock is
redeemable by the holder at any time after December 31, 2004 for the stated
value of $2.50 per share plus accrued, but unpaid, dividends. The Class D Stock
will automatically be converted into shares of common stock upon a change in
ownership of 50% of the Company's outstanding voting stock, upon a merger or
consolidation of the Company or upon the sale of significant assets of the
Company, or upon the closing of a qualified public offering.

10.  STOCK OPTIONS (CONTINUED)
    As described in Note 2, the Company uses the intrinsic-value method to
measure compensation expense associated with grants of stock options to
employees. If the Company had used the fair value method to measure
compensation, reported net loss would have been as follows:

    The fair value of the options on their grant date was measured using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Key assumptions used to apply this
option-pricing model are as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

<S>                                                           <C>
Risk-free interest rate.....................................    5.75%

Expected dividend payment rate, as a percentage of the stock
  price on the date of grant................................       0%
Assumed volatility..........................................      58%
</TABLE>

    The option-pricing model used was designed to value readily tradable stock
options with relatively short lives. However, management believes that the
assumptions used to value the options and the model applied yield a reasonable
estimate of the fair value of the grants made under the circumstances.

11.  INCOME TAXES

    The components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities
consisted of the following at December 31, 1998:

</TABLE>

    The valuation allowance increased by $1,877,888 in 1998 primarily due to the
generation of net operating loss carryforwards and credits for which realization
is not reasonably assured.

    The Company has available for future periods federal and state tax net
operating loss carryforwards for federal and state purposes of approximately
$6,639,000 and $6,405,000, respectively, as of December 31, 1998. In addition,
the Company has business credits of $444,513 as of December 31, 1998. The net
operating loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2012 and 2002 for federal and
state tax purposes, respectively. The federal research and development credits
begin to expire in 2012. The Company did not pay any income taxes from inception
to December 31, 1998.

    Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial
changes in the Company's ownership may have limited, or may limit in the future,
the amount of net operating loss carryforwards which could be utilized annually
to offset future taxable income and income tax liabilities. The amount of any
annual limitation is determined based upon the Company's value prior to an
ownership change.

12.  BENEFIT PLAN

    In 1998, the Company created a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") for
its full-time employees. Each participant in the Plan may elect to contribute a
percentage of his or her annual compensation to the Plan on a pre-tax basis up
to the annual limit established by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company
matches employee contributions at a rate of 50% up to the first 6% of the
employee's contributions. The Company may also elect to make a profit-sharing
contribution based on the discretion of the Board of Directors. Employee
contributions are fully vested. Company matching and profit sharing
contributions vest 20% after two years of service consisting of at least
1,000 hours per calendar year and 20% annually thereafter. Company contributions
were $19,376 during 1998 and the period from May 8, 1997 (date of inception) to
December 31, 1998.

13.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    CONSULTING AGREEMENTS--The Company entered into consulting agreements with
three investors in 1998 and 1997. The contracts are seven-year agreements,
renewable annually thereafter, for consulting services to be provided by the
investors in exchange for annual issuances of shares of the Company's Class A
Stock. During 1998 and the period from May 8, 1997 (date of inception) to
December 31, 1998, $175,000, and $262,500, respectively, was recorded as
consulting expense relating to these agreements, and 120,000 shares of Class A
Stock were issued or issuable in 1998 as compensation under these contracts.
Prepaid and accrued consulting expenses have been recorded annually, based on
the terms and dates of the consulting agreements. The services provided by the
investors were recorded based upon the value of the securities issued. These
contracts all expire immediately upon an initial public offering of the
Company's common stock.

    PATENTS--The Company has entered into an agreement with SatCon whereby
SatCon granted the Company a perpetual license to use the technology patented by
SatCon relating to the field of flywheel energy storage products, systems and
processes for stationary terrestrial applications.

    SERVICES AGREEMENTS--SatCon performs certain research and development,
administrative and other services for the Company. Amounts paid to SatCon for
such services rendered amounted to approximately $443,000, and $1,794,000 during
1998 and the period from May 8, 1997 (date of inception) to December 31, 1998,
respectively. As of December 31, 1998, there was $18,611 due to SatCon relating
to such services.

    DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT--In 1997, the Company signed a 20-year agreement
which granted an investor (DQE Enterprises, Inc.) exclusive rights to distribute
certain of the Company's products in a territory comprised of seven Mid-Atlantic
states and the District of Columbia. However, the Company retained the right to
distribute products directly to cable television and telephone companies.

14.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    BRIDGE FINANCING--On August 2, 1999, the Company issued Senior Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Senior Notes") to the Company's primary
investors. The Senior Notes bear interest, which is payable upon conversion, at
an annual rate of 12.5%, increasing to 15% after six months if the Class E
redeemable convertible preferred stock ("Class E Stock") funding had not
occurred at that time. The notes are secured by substantially all of the assets
of the Company. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the
investors received warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock.

    On April 7, 2000, the Senior Notes and accrued interest were converted into
Class E Stock (see below).

    In conjunction with the issuance of the Senior Notes in August 1999, the
Company issued warrants to four investors to purchase 315,000 shares of Class E
Stock (or common stock if the warrant was exercised prior to the Class E Stock
financing) at an exercise price of $2.50 per share (the "August 1999 warrants").
The estimated fair value of the warrants at the date of grant was $170,000.
These warrants expire on August 2, 2004.

    In conjunction with the Class E conversion in April 2000, the August 1999
warrants were cancelled.

    WARRANTS ISSUED UNDER CLASS D AGREEMENT--Under the conditions of the
Class D Stock offering, the Company issued warrants in October 1999 to three
investors to purchase 386,250 shares of common stock at $3.33, 386,250 shares of
common stock at $4.50, and 386,250 shares of common stock at $6 (the

"October 1999 warrants"). The estimated fair value of the warrants at the date
of their issuance was $280,000 based on the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. These
warrants expire December 31, 2004.

    In April 2000, the Company issued additional warrants to three investors to
purchase 356,250 shares of common stock at $3.33, 356,250 shares of common stock
at $4.50, and 356,250 shares of common stock at $6. The fair market value of
these warrants was approximately $1,300,000 based on the Black-Scholes Pricing
Model. These warrants expire December 31, 2004.

    BRIDGE FINANCING--On January 7, 2000, the Company received $600,000 of
bridge loans bearing annual interest at a rate of 12.5%; $200,000 of these loans
were repaid in February 2000 and the remaining loans were converted into
Class E redeemable convertible preferred stock (the "Class E Stock") in
conjunction with the Class E conversion (see below).

    In February, March and April 2000, the Company received additional bridge
financing of $1,400,000 from previous investors and $4,100,000 from new and
previous investors (the "Class F Bridge Loans"). The Class F Bridge Loans bear
annual interest at a rate of 6%. $5,200,000 of these loans were converted into
Class F redeemable convertible preferred stock ("Class F Stock") in May 2000,
(see below). The remaining $300,000 plus interest was repaid in April 2000.

    In conjunction with the April bridge loans, investors were granted warrants
to purchase 41,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $4.20 per share.
These warrants expire April 21, 2005. The estimated fair value of such warrants
is $27,000 based on the Black-Scholes Pricing Model.

    CLASS E CONVERSION--During April 2000, the Company authorized 2,000,000
shares of $.01 par value per share Class E Stock. On April 7, 2000, the Company
converted $3,550,000 of bridge loans plus interest of $275,559 into 1,226,141
shares of Class E Stock (the "Class E conversion"). Each share of Class E Stock
is convertible into one share of common stock at the option of the holder.
Holders of the Class E Stock have voting rights equivalent to the number of
shares of common stock into which their shares of Class E Stock convert. Holders
of the Class E Stock also share with the Class D Stock shareholders the right to
appoint representatives to the Board of Directors. The Class E Stock earns
cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12.5% through May 23, 2000 and 6% on
and after this date, payable quarterly. Dividends are payable in shares of
Class E Stock through May 23, 2000 and after this date, are payable in cash.
Upon liquidation, holders of Class E Stock are entitled to receive, out of funds
then generally available unpaid dividends previously declared or accrued and a
per share amount of $3.12. The Class E Stock is redeemable by the holder at any
time after December 31, 2004 for the stated value of $3.12 per share plus
accrued but unpaid dividends. The Class E Stock will automatically be converted
into shares of common stock upon a change in ownership of 50% of the Company's
outstanding voting stock, upon a merger or consolidation of the Company, upon
the sale of significant assets of the Company, or upon consummation of a
qualified public offering.

    Class E Stock is senior to Class A, B and C Stock, on parity with Class D
Stock and subordinate to Class F Stock.

    In conjunction with the Class E conversion, warrants totaling 315,000,
issued in conjunction with the issuance of the Senior Notes in August 1999 were
cancelled. In exchange, warrants to purchase 306,535 shares of Class E Stock at
$2.50 per share were issued. These warrants expire April 7, 2005. The estimated
fair market value of these warrants is approximately $344,000 based on the
Binary Option Pricing Model.

    Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement related to the Class E Stock, the
Company is bound by certain covenants.

    CLASS F ISSUANCE--During May 2000 the Company authorized 7,500,000 shares of
$.01 par value Class F Stock. On May 23, 2000, the Company sold 6,785,711 shares
of Class F Stock for a total of $28.5 million, and accordingly, the outstanding
Class F Bridge Loans of $5,200,000 were converted to Class F Stock.

    Each share of Class F Stock is convertible into one share of common stock at
the option of the holder. Holders of the Class F Stock have voting rights
equivalent to the number of shares of common stock into which their shares of
Class F Stock convert. The Class F Stock earns cumulative dividends at an annual
rate of 6%, payable quarterly. Dividends are payable in cash. The Class F Stock
will automatically be converted into shares of common stock immediately prior to
a merger or consolidation of the Company or upon the sale of significant assets
of the Company, or the consummation of a qualified public offering. The Class F
shareholders are entitled to appoint representatives to the Board of Directors.
The Class F stock is redeemable by the holder at any time after May 23, 2005 at
a price per share equal to the sum of the Class F stated value, initially $4.20
per share, multiplied by the number of shares to be redeemed, plus all accrued
but unpaid dividends.

    The Class F Stock is senior to all other classes of preferred stock.

    Upon liquidation, holders of the Class F stock are entitled to receive, out
of funds then generally available, unpaid dividends previously paid or accrued
and a per share amount equal to the Class F stated value.

    Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement related to the Class F Stock (the
"Class F Agreement"), the Company is bound by certain covenants.

    Under the conditions of the Class F Agreement, the Company will issue
warrants for shares of common stock equal to $14,250,000 divided by the warrant
price. The warrant price is defined as 75% of the lower of: (i) the effective
price per share of common stock paid by the acquirer in a sale transaction as
determined by a nationally recognized banking firm chosen by the Company and
approved by a majority of the purchasers that hold a majority of the aggregate
preferred shares and conversion shares (shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Class F Stock) as of the date of consummation of such sale
transaction and (ii) the initial price in the first qualified offering of the
Company's common stock. These warrants expire on May 23, 2005 and no warrants
have been issued at this time.

years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 contained an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified at to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles. During the years ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, and any subsequent interim period immediately preceding the date of
dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, we had no disagreements with
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, would have caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to make reference to such
matter of disagreement(s) in connection with its report on our financial
statements. None of the reportable events listed in Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of
Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, occurred with
respect to the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 or the subsequent interim
period preceding the dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

    On May 25, 1999, we engaged Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent public
accountants. The decision to engage Arthur Andersen LLP was recommended by our
Audit Committee and approved by our Board of Directors. During our two most
recent fiscal years, and any subsequent interim period prior to engaging Arthur
Andersen LLP, (i) neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted Arthur Andersen
LLP regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed
or proposed transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
our financial statements; and (ii) no written report or oral advice concerning
the same was provided to us that Arthur Andersen LLP concluded was an important
factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or
financial reporting issue.
