##### Table of Contents

Our products, technologies and engineering services are designed to meet the growing demand
for improved fuel economy, less or lower dependency on crude and foreign oil, and a reduction in harmful emissions. We supply our design services, hybrid electric drive systems and packaged fuel systems for alternative fuel vehicles primarily to OEM
customers for use by consumers and for commercial and government fleets. Since 1997, we have sold approximately 20,000 systems for alternative fuel vehicles, primarily to General Motors.

We have developed a series of range extended plug-in hybrid electric drive (PHEV) systems. We are integrating a plug-in hybrid drive
system, which we refer to as Q-Drive, into Fisker Automotive, Inc.s (Fisker Automotive) first production vehicle, the Fisker Karma, with production anticipated to ramp up in the second half of the 2011 calendar year. Our Q-Drivesystem is a specifically designed PHEV powertrain architecture. Our Q-Drivewas designed to improve vehicle fuel economy and performance, leverage existing gas refueling infrastructure, and utilize home-based battery recharging.

We have also developed F-Drive, a
2ndGeneration version of our PHEV drive
systemthat is specifically directed at lower-cost light duty fleet/commercial customer vehicles, including mid-size cars and pickup trucks, to significantly advance PHEVs and the average fuel economy in the near term

Renewable Energy Segment

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Schneider Power, Inc. (Schneider Power), we are also a licensed electricity generator, developer and
builder of renewable electricity generation facilities. Schneider Power develops, builds, owns and operates wind electricity generation facilities and is planning similar development of solar power generating facilities. Schneider Power has a
portfolio in excess of one gigawatt (1,000 MW) of wind and solar energy projects in various stages of development throughout North America and the Caribbean.

We currently generate electrical power from wind turbines operating in Ontario, Canada under a long term Power Purchase Agreement with a Canadian-based renewable energy reseller. The predictable nature of
the wind resource, the demonstrated reliability of the turbines, the low cost of operations including zero cost of fuel, and the long term fixed rate financing structure that supports the Ontario wind farm operations all contribute to a highly
predictable and consistent cash flow stream from these operations. As we continue to grow the capacity of our wind and solar power generation asset base, we expect the steady financial return aspect of this business segment to remain in place.

Business Operations and Products and Services

Electric Drive and Fuel System Segment

We provide hybrid drivetrain and
advanced fuel system design, powertrain engineering, electronic control and software strategies, system integration, manufacturing and assembly of propulsion systems and sub-systems for a variety of automotive applications including hybrid electric
vehicles (HEV), electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), and other alternative fuel vehicles. We also design, engineer and manufacture hybrid and fuel cell concept vehicles and hydrogen refueling
systems primarily for use in the transportation, aerospace, and military industries. Our proprietary plug-in hybrid drive system technology can be packaged utilizing different designs, technologies and subsystems. Our drive systems include complete
systems or sub-systems and components and are designed to improve vehicle fuel economy and performance, leverage existing gas station infrastructure, and utilize home-based battery recharging.

We have developed our Q-Drivehybrid system for the Fisker Karma platform. We also have other derivative drive
systems within our family of hybrid drives, including a new advanced all-wheel-drive diesel hybrid electric powertrain that we refer to as Q-Force and our proprietary F-Drive propulsion system specifically
engineered for a plug-in electric hybrid version of the Ford F-150 pickup truck, one of the highest volume selling fleet vehicles in America. The F-Drive system provides a unique combination of low operating costs through substantially
increased fuel efficiency, reliability, low maintenance cost, emission reduction benefits and extended range capability. Ideal for fleet vehicle driving characteristics, the F-150 PHEV is

designed to have a 35 mile electric-only range, shifting to hybrid electric mode thereafter for a total range of approximately 400 miles. We are partnering with The Dow Chemical Company to launch
a plug-in hybrid electric F-150 truck incorporating our proprietary F-Drive propulsion system specifically designed for the Ford F-150 pickup truck, one of the highest volume selling fleet vehicles in America.

Our packaged fuel systems are comprised of high pressure composite tanks, injection, regulation, monitoring, and electronics and control
systems to improve efficiency, enhance power output, and reduce pollutant emissions from hybrids, plug-in hybrids, internal combustion engines and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

We supply our hybrid electric drive systems and packaged fuel systems for alternative fuel vehicles to OEM customers
for use by consumers and for commercial and government fleets. We believe a commercial market is developing for our Q-Drivesystem due to Fisker Automotives production launch of the Fisker Karma vehicle platform. We believe this is the
first step to market introduction and will demonstrate the technical feasibility and fuel economy advantages of PHEV technology.

We are also engineering and developing a 2ndGeneration scaled version of our hybrid drive system that is specifically directed at lower-cost light duty vehicles, including mid-size cars and pickup trucks, to significantly advance PHEVs and
the average fuel economy in the near term. In May 2011, we announced the receipt of a grant from the California Energy Commission for product and technology development for innovative plug-in hybrid electric systems that are expected to
accelerate the adoption of PHEVs through improved operational efficiencies and reduced cost. The grant will be applied towards product validation and to set up a pilot production line to accelerate launching of the new hybrid electric products
developed by our product engineering and commercialization team.

We also provide our hybrid electric propulsion systems,
gaseous hydrogen fuel systems and refueling products for fuel cell applications to major OEMs and other customers through funded research and development contracts and on a prototype basis. These hydrogen fuel cell systems and hydrogen refueling
products are not currently manufactured in high volumes and will require additional product and application development. We expect initial commercialization for our hydrogen and fuel cell vehicle products to begin in the 2013-2015 time frame
followed by scaled market adoption in the second half of this decade.

The current market for our hybrid drive systems and
packaged fuel systems for PHEVs, electric, fuel cell electric vehicles and hydrogen hybrid electric vehicle applications is the emerging world market for passenger, fleet, industrial and military vehicles. We plan to continue the development of our
hybrid drive systems and hydrogen vehicle and refueling technologies to meet market opportunities. Working with OEMs, we are focusing our enabling technology marketing efforts on North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Renewable Energy Segment

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Schneider
Power, we are a licensed electricity generator, developer and builder of renewable electricity generation facilities. We currently own and operate a 1.6 megawatt (MW) wind farm in Ontario, Canada. In addition, we have a portfolio of wind and solar
farm projects in North America and the Caribbean with potential capacity in excess of one gigawatt (1,000 MW) that are in various stages of development. We have capabilities to completely engineer, develop, construct and commission a renewable
energy farm.

We currently generate electrical power from wind turbines operating in Ontario, Canada under a long term Power
Purchase Agreement with a Canadian-based renewable energy reseller. The predictable nature of the wind resource, the demonstrated reliability of the turbines, the low cost of operations including zero cost of fuel, and the long term fixed rate
financing structure that supports the Ontario wind farm operations all contribute to a highly predictable and consistent cash flow stream from these operations. As we continue to grow the capacity of our wind and solar power generation asset base,
we expect the steady financial return aspect of this business segment to remain in place.

Development of wind and solar farm
projects involves several sequential stages of completion and advancement before the project becomes operational. These stages will generally include the feasibility study of the project, negotiating land easements, securing grid interconnections on
the subject project, performing environmental studies, entering a power purchase agreement, arranging for construction financing, managing the construction, and commissioning the project. These stages will generally include:



| |  |  | Feasibility Studiesstudies are first conducted to obtain sufficient data to validate the energy capacity of a prospective project;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Land Easementsfor land parcels that we do not control, we must negotiate with local landowners to obtain easements to allow for the
development of a wind and/or solar project on their properties;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Grid Interconnectionsapplications are submitted to the local regulated utility distributor to obtain approval for grid interconnections on
the subject project;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Environmental Studiesassessments and feasibility studies are completed and submitted to federal, provincial and municipal governments to
obtain permits for construction and commissioning of the project;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)PPAs are negotiated and secured with the local regulated utility or government power agency and establish
rates to be paid for power generated by our projects and the term of the agreement (generally 20 years);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Construction Financinginstallation of the project infrastructure and systems requires significant capital outlays that is financed with
equity capital, project debt (typically non-recourse) or a combination thereof;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Commissioningupon completion of the construction phase, standard electrical tests are performed and adjustments are made to the wind
turbines and/or solar panel arrays to validate the safe and efficient operation of the installed systems.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wind and solar energy project returns depend mainly on the following factors: energy prices, transmission costs, wind and solar
resources, wind turbine and solar module costs, construction costs, financing cost and availability of government incentives. In applying our strategy, we take into account the combination of all of these factors and focus on margins, return on
invested capital and value creation as opposed solely to project size. Some of our projects, while having high construction costs, still offer attractive returns because of favorable wind

and solar resources or higher energy prices. Additionally, in many cases, smaller, more profitable projects can create as much absolute value as do larger, lower-returning projects. We assess the
profitability of each project by evaluating its net present value.

An energy project may be financed with all equity or a
combination of equity and debt. Due to the capital requirements for these projects, Schneider Power has historically entered into strategic relationships to provide for project financing. Schneider Power will evaluate its project portfolio and
assess sale, joint venture or own-account alternatives on a project-by-project basis once certain milestones are achieved. If Schneider Power decides to enter into strategic relationships to provide for project equity and/or debt financing on
certain of its projects, we anticipate that a typical strategic relationship would be structured in one of two ways, (i) Schneider Power would transfer a majority interest to a strategic partner for a development fee while retaining a minority
carried interest in the project; or, alternatively, (ii) Schneider Power would transfer a partial interest to a strategic partner for a development fee while retaining a pro rata interest in the project. We would anticipate that Schneider Power
and the strategic partner would also enter into a development agreement pursuant to which Schneider Power would provide development services for the project in addition to receiving a development fee.

In addition to energy sales on our existing wind electricity generation facilities and future wind and solar energy facilities that we
are currently developing, we anticipate generating revenues and cash flows through the sale of ownership interests in our renewable energy projects and through development and construction services for renewable energy projects owned by third
parties.

Industry Overview and Recent Developments

Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Industry

The electrification of
transportation via electric vehicles, hybrid technology, and plug-in hybrid vehicles offers a technological option to address increasing worldwide energy costs, the long-term availability of petroleum reserves and environmental concerns. Hybrid
electric vehicles use both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine to propel the vehicle. A hybrid is designed to capture energy that is normally lost through braking and coasting to recharge the batteries (regenerative braking), which
in turn powers the electric motor without the need for plugging in. There is already a variety of hybrid electric vehicles available to consumers today and the hybrid vehicle market is growing. Cities across the country are already benefiting from
the use of hybrid electric buses in their communities. Advantages of hybrid electric vehicles include: reduced fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions, optimized fuel efficiency and performance, lower fuel costs, and they are able to use the
existing gas station infrastructure. The main challenges include the limited availability of components (batteries, powertrains, power electronics) and the higher initial cost. Even with these challenges, the demand for hybrid electric vehicles has
continued to increase. J.D. Powers & Associates reports that hybrid electric vehicle sales are expected to represent 7% of the total car market in 2015. In addition, the U.S. Military has mandated a 5% per annum reduction in its
internal fuel usage and is seeking fuel-efficient applications/vehicles to meet this mandate. In May 2009, the Obama administration announced new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards mandating automakers to increase the average fuel
economy of their U.S. vehicle fleets to 35.5 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2016, accelerating the previous timeline for compliance by four years to 2016 from 2020. The accelerated timeframe provides further clarity to automakers to accelerate
development of hybrid/electric vehicle platforms. Further, President Obamas administration announced in May 2011 that by the end of December 2015 all new light duty vehicles leased or purchased by government agencies must be alternative fueled
vehicles, such as hybrid or electric, compressed natural gas or biofuel. The timeline is part of the Obamas administration plan to cut US oil imports by a third by 2025 and put a million advanced vehicles on the road by 2015.

Recent advances in batteries and other components have resulted in the emergence of PHEVs. As with other hybrids, a PHEV vehicle has the
ability to run on either electricity or a small internal combustion engine that drives a generator to produce electricity. PHEVs have a larger battery than the batteries used in conventional electric hybrids and they can be recharged by plugging
into an appropriate outlet. Recharged vehicles are

designed to provide 20-60 miles of all electric, zero emission range without engine power. PHEVs are currently being tested in prototype form and we anticipate will soon be available for sale.
Advantages of plug-in hybrids include: reduced fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions, optimized fuel efficiency and performance, recovered energy from regenerative braking, unchanged gas station infrastructure, grid connection potential,
home based battery recharging at a fraction of the cost of petroleum equivalent, pure zero emission capability, even lower fueling costs compared to battery sustaining hybrids, and possible use in secondary markets for used batteries and
reduced waste. Our hybrid control software systems optimize the operation of all hybrid and PHEV subsystems including the engine, generator, motor, inverters, battery system, power converters, and charger to maximize fuel economy while minimizing
emissions. But, challenges still remain, including cost and complexity of two powertrains, limited supplier base and component availability (batteries, powertrains, power electronics), higher initial cost, cost of batteries and battery replacement,
unproven technologies and added vehicle weight. Advanced battery technologies and systems, specifically lithium-ion batteries, are considered to be the key enabling technology for the commercial viability of PHEVs. Such advanced battery technologies
are currently under development but are not yet available on a commercial basis.

At the 2009 North American International
Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, Fisker Automotive showcased its first production plug-in hybrid sports sedan, the Fisker Karma, and a plug-in hybrid hardtop convertible concept vehicle, the Fisker Karma S. Both of these vehicles incorporated our
Q-Drivehybrid electric vehicle architecture. We have been providing drive train development and vehicle integration services to Fisker Automotive for their Fisker Karma vehicle since November 2007. We have completed the final development
phase which includes system validation, certification and other pre-production development activities.

On April 29,
2010, we executed a long-term production supply agreement with Fisker Automotive which, as later amended on November 8, 2010, sets forth the definitive terms pursuant to which we are the exclusive supplier of certain key sub-systems and control
systems included in the Q-Drive powertrain system for the Fisker Karma production vehicle and we will also receive a royalty for each Fisker Karma vehicle sold that incorporates our Q-Drive technology (the Fisker Production
Agreement). The Fisker Production Agreement covers the program life of the vehicle platform and outlines minimum volumes of 45,000 vehicles over this period. Under the terms of the licensing and supply arrangement, we, subject to our ability
to meet Fisker Automotives performance, cost and delivery requirements, will be the exclusive supplier of the following components and subsystems for the Fisker Karma: (i) the hybrid controller and hybrid control software, (ii) the
on-board charger, (iii) the DC-DC converter, and (iv) the solar roof. The purchase price for these components and subsystems on a per vehicle basis (which includes a service fee, license and royalty fee) starts at approximately $4,100 for
the first 6,500 vehicles and gradually decreases based on volume to a floor of approximately $3,200 once 30,000 units have been purchased. The Fisker Production Agreement also provides us with preferred supplier status for future Fisker
Automotive vehicle programs, provided we can meet Fisker Automotives performance, cost and delivery requirements.

Our first-generation Q-Drivesystem evolved over several years of innovation and development. Our Q-Drivesystem takes full advantage of the performance potential of electric drive systems
while achieving high fuel mileage and low emissions through its integrated PHEV design. Benefits of our Q-Drivesystem include optimized fuel efficiency and superior performance, unchanged gas station infrastructure, and convenient battery
recharging with any 110-volt outlet, or 220/240-volt fast-charging.

In addition to providing incentives to businesses to
advance the development of hybrid and electric vehicles, the U.S. government has provided and is expected to continue to provide incentives to taxpayers to purchase and place in service qualified hybrid vehicles through the use of tax credits.

Advanced batteries, capable of meeting standards for durability, performance, and weight, are a key technology for plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles and other electric vehicles. The DOE reported that they plan to provide assistance to construct or upgrade battery manufacturing, component, and recycling plants for lithium-ion and other advanced batteries, as well as for
production factories for electric drive vehicle power

electronics. These grants are expected to help lower the cost of battery packs, batteries, and electric propulsion systems, enabling manufacturers to establish a thriving domestic electric
vehicle industry. These advanced battery factories will also support battery manufacturing for consumer products, as well as military and utility applications. The DOE has also pledged to support demonstration, evaluation, and education projects to
help develop the market for advanced electric drive vehicles.

Additionally, California and other states are providing grants
to support alternative fuel vehicle technology to assist in the commercialization of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and other electric vehicles. In May 2011 we announced the receipt of a grant by the California Energy Commission for product
and technology development for innovative plug-in hybrid electric systems. Our Electric Drive & Fuel Systems business segment will use the proceeds to assist in the development of certain components for our next generation of hybrid drive
system.

Other recent hybrid and electric vehicle programs include:

In May and June 2011, we announced that we received orders from The Dow Chemical Company and Florida Power & Light totaling in
excess of $14.0 million for our F-150 PHEVs powered by our F-Drive hybrid system. Delivery of the F-150 PHEVs will occur over a three year period beginning in the calendar fourth quarter of 2011.

In February 2010, we announced that we were selected by the US Postal Service (USPS) to produce an advanced electric postal delivery
vehicle based on the widely used Long Life Vehicle (LLV) platform. We were competitively selected, along with 4 other companies, for participation in a one year demonstration and validation program to be conducted by the USPS in Washington DC. A
successful demonstration in the nations capital could pave the way to broad adoption of battery electric vehicles in the USPS fleet. Electrification of the 142,000-strong LLV segment of the postal delivery fleet, the largest civilian fleet in
the country, will help to reduce emissions across the country and reduce dependence on foreign petroleum while supporting the continued development of the US EV industry. In October 2010, we delivered a demonstration vehicle to USPS that is
currently under test and evaluation.

In November 2009, we announced that we had designed, developed and shipped diesel
electric hybrid vehicles to the U.S. ArmyTank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC). We developed the Clandestine Extended Range Vehicle (CERV) for TARDEC, which is a hybrid electric vehicle targeted for quick-paced
special operations-type missions involving reconnaissance, surveillance, and targeting. The CERV design incorporates our Q-Force architecture, which is a new advanced all-wheel-drive diesel electric hybrid powertrain.

In October 2008, we announced that we had designed, developed and shipped a new generation of hybrid electric vehicles incorporating
hydrogen internal combustion engines to TARDEC for deployment at the Selfridge Air National Guard Base (SANGB). This deployment is part of a larger test and demonstration program involving TARDEC joint service partners around the country, in support
of the US Armys 21st Century Base Initiative. The hydrogen-powered vehicles will reduce emissions and provide an opportunity to verify and utilize the existing hydrogen refueling infrastructure.

In March 2007, we were awarded a contract with Californias South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) to develop and
demonstrate PHEVs. Under this program, we are currently developing, manufacturing, and deploying 20 Ford Escape PHEVs for demonstration in Southern California. Under the program, we are utilizing our OEM system engineering and vehicle integration
methodologies in the development of a plug-in hybrid version of the 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid. The PHEV system is based on integrating a lithium-ion battery pack and management system. In January 2011, we completed the shipment of all 20 vehicles.

Fuel Cell and Hydrogen/Compressed Gas Vehicle Industry

The fuel cell and hydrogen vehicle industry also offers a technological option to address increasing worldwide energy costs, the long-term
availability of petroleum reserves and environmental concerns. Fuel cell and hydrogen-based internal combustion engine vehicles have emerged as a potential alternative to existing conventional internal combustion engine vehicles because of their
higher efficiency, reduced noise and lower tailpipe emissions. Fuel cell industry participants are currently targeting the transportation and hydrogen refueling infrastructure markets. We believe that our fuel cell and hydrogen-based enabling
products of fuel storage, fuel delivery and battery and electronic control systems along with our vehicle-level system integration experience can be effectively applied in these markets.

A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that produces electricity by combining hydrogen with oxygen from the air. This electrochemical
reaction occurs silently and without combustion, with useable heat and water as the only by-products. The system can use as its base fuel either pure hydrogen or hydrogen derived from hydrocarbon fuels, such as methanol, natural gas or petroleum,
using a device called a reformer. A reformer breaks down hydrocarbon fuels using heat and a catalytic process. Regardless of the fuel used to provide hydrogen, the fuel cell system will require on-board hydrogen storage, fuel delivery and electronic
controls. We believe that the keys to optimizing the performance of a fuel cell are proper metering and delivery of hydrogen fuel and air to its fuel cell stacks and efficient storage of the fuel to maximize its total operation time; an area that we
have expertise in.

There are now over 100 hydrogen-refueling stations worldwide, with essentially all the stations dispensing
compressed hydrogen. Certain states have established statewide initiatives to encourage the implementation of hydrogen and fuel cells which include California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico, New York and Ohio.

Other examples of fuel cell and hydrogen demonstration programs include the California Fuel Cell Partnership,
California Stationary Fuel Cell Collaborative, Compressed Hydrogen Infrastructure Program, Clean Energy Partnership in Berlin, Controlled Hydrogen Fleet & Infrastructure Demonstration and Validation Project, Fuel Cell Bus Club, Japan
Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Demonstration Project, Hydrogen Highway Network in California, BC Hydrogen Highway in British Columbia, AQMD Test Fleet, Hi Way Initiative, Ruhr-Alps-Milan Hydrogen Supply Chain Integrated Project, Hydrogen Corridor in
Canada, Norwegian HyNor Project, Illinois Hydrogen Highway, The Northern H in the Upper Midwest, Singapores Initiative in Energy Technology, and Icelands SMART-H2project.

Fuel cell and hydrogen-powered hybrid vehicles are being designed to provide clean, quiet power for a variety of applications in transportation, fleet, industrial and military vehicles. The
commercialization of fuel cells in all of these markets will require cost reductions for the entire system, including the fuel cell stack, fuel system, balance-of-plant, and assembly.

Many OEMs, including BMW, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, and Toyota Motor Corporation have unveiled prototypes of
fuel cell vehicles. Although the number of years required before mass production of fuel cell vehicles will be available to the public cannot be reasonably predicted due to the required advances necessary to reduce the costs of the technology and
the cost of developing the required infrastructure, many automotive OEMs have each announced their intentions to sell fuel cell vehicles to the public starting in the second half of this decade.

In February 2011, we were awarded a $10.0 million development and validation program by General Motors for hydrogen storage. The next
generation hydrogen storage vessels developed and validated under this program build upon our proprietary ultra lightweight composite technology and assembly processes that save substantial weight while maximizing the fuel storage capacity. In April
2008, we completed shipments of our first generation packaged hydrogen fuel systems to General Motors in support of their Equinox fuel cell vehicle program that consists of a fleet of approximately 100 vehicles and we continue to provide funded
service support to General Motors under this program.

Commercialization of fuel cell electric vehicles is dependent upon a number of factors,
including overall cost reduction of the system and a hydrogen-refueling infrastructure. These technologies will require across-the-board cost reductions for the entire system, including the fuel cell stack, fuel system, balance-of-plant, and
assembly. Safety is a primary objective when dealing with highly compressed gases. The fuel storage systems are rigorously tested as individual components and as part of the fuel system on the vehicle. Safety considerations apply to the fuel system
as a whole, including the tank, regulator and fuel lines, all of which need to comply with applicable safety standards. Our operations are ISO/TS 16949 certified and we have performed extensive testing of our fuel storage components and systems
which comply with applicable safety standards, including standards developed by the European Integrated Hydrogen Project (EIHP). Additionally, to ensure widespread commercialization, the fuel storage and delivery systems need to provide adequate
range, be of acceptable size and shape, and perform similarly to conventionally fueled vehicles without unacceptably high cost.

Although the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles has not developed as quickly as previously anticipated due to the emergence of
hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle technologies, it is still widely believed to be one of many solutions for medium and long distance clean vehicle or low emission driving. We believe interim steps will continue to be taken by governments to
expand the initial refueling infrastructure including mobile refueling units, compact stationary refueling units and bulk transport trailers. In addition, we expect the efforts by OEMs to advance the development of fuel cell vehicle platforms
that can be commercialized within this decade to continue in preparation for a number of vehicle releases in the middle of this decade.

During fiscal 2011, we received over $3.0 million in purchase orders for natural gas storage systems for bus and heavy duty application. We have also recently introduced a compressed natural gas cylinder
technology capable of allowing Class A trucks to travel 1,000 miles before refueling. We began shipments during fiscal 2011 and expect expansion of natural gas vehicle applications in the US market.

In May 2007, we announced that we had signed an agreement for the marketing, sales and distribution in India of our alternative fuel
vehicle products and systems for natural gas, blends of natural gas and hydrogen, and liquid propane gas. In March 2009, we announced that we were awarded a contract to upgrade Volvo-Eicher Commercial Vehicles Ltd.s (Volvos) four and six
cylinder engine platforms, using our gaseous fuel injection systems and powertrain engineering expertise, to meet certain new stringent emissions regulations in India that came into effect beginning April 2010. We believe that India holds one of the
highest natural gas vehicle growth potentials in the world and we intend to continue to pursue opportunities to expand our business in this market. This strategic alliance led to our equity investment in Shigan Quantum in September 2009.

Fuel Storage Systems for Aerospace Industry

In November 2009, we were awarded a contract to supply carbon fiber composite hydrogen and oxygen storage vessels for Lockheed Martins Space Systems development of ISIS (Integrated Sensor is
the Structure) airship powered by a Regenerative Fuel Cell (RFC). ISIS is a large stratospheric airship, carrying an integral radar sensor that can detect small valuable targets from a distance of several hundreds of kilometers away. The ISIS uses
solar rays during daylight hours to generate renewable electricity that electrolyzes water to generate hydrogen and oxygen to run the RFC at night. In May 2010, we announced that we were awarded an additional contract to supply critical hydrogen
metering systems for the ISIS program. Lockheed Martin will build the prototype airship for the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under their $400 million military contract. We have completed the production bid phase and are
well positioned to be the preferred supplier for any future storage systems under this program.

Renewable Energy
Generation and Development Industry

Demand for electricity has dramatically increased as our society has become more
technologically driven, and we expect this trend to continue. Significant new capacity for the generation of electricity will be required to meet this anticipated demand, particularly as vehicular transportation shifts in part from internal
combustion

propulsion to electric and hybrid electric propulsion systems. According to the DOEs Energy Information Administration (EIA), nearly half of all electricity in the United States produced in
2008 was generated by coal, which is the largest source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Other major sources of electricity in 2008 were nuclear (20%) and renewable energy sources (9%).

Most of the worlds main energy sources are still based on the consumption of non-renewable resources such as coal, petroleum,
natural gas and uranium. Although renewable energy resources today represent a relatively small amount of the energy produced, wind and solar energy farms are growing rapidly in market share. We believe wind and solar energy growth in North America
is being driven primarily by:



| |  |  | decreasing costs in the supply chain and continued improvements in wind and solar technologies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | public concern about environmental issues, including climate change;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | favorable federal, state and provincial policies regarding climate change and renewable energy, exemplified by state RPS programs and the ARRA in the
US and the Green Energy Act in Ontario, that support the development of renewable energy;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increasing obstacles for the construction of conventional power plants; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | public concern over continued North American dependence on foreign energy imports.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We intend to leverage our portfolio of existing wind and solar projects, along with strategic relationships developed by Schneider Power
to increase our footprint in renewable energy generation and development.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is to commercialize our advanced vehicle products and technologies and leverage these products into future vehicle
production programs. We plan to increase our participation in hybrid, plug-in hybrid and hydrogen vehicle programs and enhance our leadership position as a tier-one automotive supplier of advanced propulsion systems, alternative fuel systems,
powertrain engineering, and system integration services. We also plan to use our existing renewable energy and development platform to expand our ownership of energy producing projects and enhance our involvement in renewable energy.

Our strategy includes the following:

Commercialize Our Proprietary Hybrid Vehicle Propulsion Systems and Sub-Systems

We are commercializing and supplying our production-ready Q-Drive propulsion system to Fisker Automotive for the Fisker Karma vehicle. At the end of fiscal 2011, we began shipments of our
hybrid propulsion system and subsystems for assembly into the initial Fisker Karma production release vehicles. We delivered our initial Q-Drivesystem to Fisker Automotive and integrated these systems into the first Fisker Karma sports sedan
production vehicle and into the Fisker Karma S convertible concept vehicle that were first showcased at the Detroit auto show in January 2008 and 2009, respectively. Since 2007, we have performed substantial development work on our hybrid vehicle
propulsion system for incorporation into the Fisker Automotive line of PHEVs. We have completed pre-production development activities and continue to support Fisker during the production phase. We expect the Karma line of vehicles to continue over
the next five to six years.

We intend to commercialize newly developed variations of our proprietary hybrid vehicle
propulsion systems and subsystems into production programs with other automotive OEMs, utilities and fleets, military programs and other customer groups such as the postal service. We have produced several prototype vehicles with derivative hybrid
drive systems for customer evaluation. Additionally, we plan to commercialize certain proprietary hybrid drive subsystems including hardware and software controls, electronics and inverter systems by selling these subsystems to automotive OEMs,
large heavy-duty vehicle manufactures, integrators, and other providers of hybrid vehicle technologies.

During fiscal 2011 we developed and produced, under a funded US Postal Service (USPS)
program, an advanced battery electric postal delivery vehicle based on the widely used Long Life Vehicle (LLV) platform. A successful demonstration and validation of this vehicle could pave the way to broad adoption of battery electric vehicles
in the USPS fleet, the largest civilian fleet in the country.

We have also delivered a hybrid powered light-duty all-terrain
vehicle and several hybrid vehicles, including a diesel hybrid version of our military special operations vehicle containing a battery dominant, series hybrid electric propulsion system, to the U.S. Army for evaluation. We have also developed and
deployed 20 Ford Escape PHEVs for demonstration in Southern California under a contract with Californias South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD). Under this contract, we are utilizing our OEM system engineering and vehicle
integration methodologies to develop a plug-in hybrid version of the Ford Escape Hybrid. We believe that significant opportunities for growth exist in the market for hybrids, PHEVs, battery electric and hydrogen-powered hybrids. Based on the
anticipated market size and projected growth rate for hybrid vehicles across the globe, we have prioritized our business development efforts in North America, Asia-Pacific and Europe. We believe our innovative hybrid control strategies, hardware,
software and technologies can be effectively and efficiently leveraged into these growing market opportunities.

Increase Our Participation in the Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid OEM Vehicle Markets by Advancing and Introducing New Lower-Cost
Technology and Securing Customer and Government Funding and Commercialization Partnerships

We intend to focus our
product development efforts on advancing our hybrid propulsion systems and technologies to further improve performance, reduce cost and support broader commercialization. We plan to continue to develop and refine our hybrid drive systems and
subsystems to capture new customers in a growing hybrid vehicle market. We have established and plan to expand joint development programs and partnerships with automotive OEMs, the major lithium ion battery producers, commercial fleets, and other
industry leaders in these markets and secure outside funding to support these programs. We are currently working with the Department of Energy, the California Energy Commission and other government agencies in advancing hybrid and hydrogen
technologies and developing new applications and solutions.

We plan to leverage our hybrid drivetrain technology and systems
integration capabilities to continue to advance our hybrid control systems, motor control software and propulsion system control strategies. We expect to continue to expand our customer base and commercialization partnerships in our efforts to
further develop advanced and lower cost hybrid drive system component parts and secure customer funding and partnerships to make these advancements.

We are partnering with The Dow Chemical Company to launch a plug-in hybrid electric F-150 truck incorporating our proprietary F-Drive propulsion system specifically engineered for the Ford F-150
pickup truck, one of the highest volume selling fleet vehicles in America. Quantums research and product development group designed the system to meet the demanding truck applications of Americas largest fleet operators and to provide a
mission-ready solution to meet President Barack Obamas goal of converting the Federal governments vehicle fleet to hybrids, electric vehicles and other alternative-fuel vehicles.

We recently announced the receipt of a grant by the California Energy Commission for product and technology development for
innovative plug-in hybrid electric systems that are expected to accelerate the mass adoption of PHEVs through improved operational efficiencies and reduced cost. The grant will be applied towards product validation and to set up a pilot
production line to accelerate launching of the new hybrid electric products developed by our product engineering and commercialization team. We plan to integrate these technologies and software systems with re-designed drive-train components to
provide lower-cost drivetrain systems.

Advance and Commercialize Next Generation Packaged Fuel Systems and Re-Fueling Units
for Hydrogen, Fuel Cell, and Alternative Fuel Vehicles

We plan to continue to leverage our advanced fuel systems, and
other alternative vehicle technologies to assist OEMs in advancing the commercialization of hydrogen, fuel cell and other alternative fuel and specialized vehicle applications. We intend to apply our expanded vehicle-level design, powertrain
engineering, vehicle electronics and system integration expertise to emerging OEM and fleet vehicle programs to capture full scale production opportunities.

During fiscal 2011 we were awarded a $10.0 million development and validation program by General Motors for hydrogen storage. The hydrogen storage vessels developed and validated under this program will
build upon our proprietary ultra lightweight composite technology and assembly processes that save substantial mass while maximizing the fuel storage capacity. We believe there are significant opportunities to work with other OEMs on hydrogen
programs and other advanced alternative vehicle systems as these customers target some level of hydrogen vehicle commercialization during the second half of this decade. Also during fiscal 2011, we experienced a re-emergence of natural gas vehicle
programs in the United States and we intend to continue to pursue these expanding opportunities by providing our proprietary alternative vehicle fuel systems and storage technologies.

We plan to leverage our storage, metering and control technologies, and integration capabilities to capitalize on the need for mobile and
stationary hydrogen refueling units. We believe there are expanding opportunities to provide the initial refueling products such as mobile refueling units, compact stationary refueling units, and hydrogen storage for bulk transport trailers. Since
2008, we have delivered several operational stationary hydrogen refueling units located in the City of Rochester, New York under contracts with General Motors and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). In 2009, one
of our stationary hydrogen refueling units opened to the public at JFK Airport in New York. In January 2011 we delivered to California State Los Angeles Campus a new, uniquely designed stand alone retail-like and user-friendly hydrogen
dispenser, coupled with our standard hydrogen gas chiller unit for use in the campus new hydrogen re-fueling station. We plan to continue seeking out opportunities to add hydrogen refueling infrastructure to further advance the transition to
and adoption of alternative fuels.

Expand Our Renewable Energy Development and Production Platform

We intend to expand our footprint in renewable energy projects by developing, constructing and owning various wind and solar projects in
North America and the Caribbean that we have in our existing project pipeline and to continue prospecting for future renewable energy sites. We have in excess of 1 gigawatt of projects in our project pipeline that we plan to further assess for
feasibility, secure funding and target for development and/or sale of the project.

We also expect to continue to support the
growth and expansion of Asola, which opened a state-of-the-art facility in Erfurt, Germany in May 2009 which tripled its capacity to 45 MW. We expect Asola to continue to grow and expand in Europe, Asia and Canada. Asola has signed letters of intent
for the formation of joint ventures with alliance partners in certain locations for the production and distribution of mono and poly-crystalline silicon solar modules with initial capacities of 30 MW. Asola is also in the process of forming a
strategic relationship in Canada to begin production of local content solar panels for the Ontario, Canada market place.

On March 14, 2011, we amended a non-binding Letter of Intent with Asolas majority owner, ConSolTec GmbH (ConSolTec) that we originally executed on August 24, 2010, which sets forth terms
related to a proposed transaction pursuant to which we and ConSolTec would establish a newly formed holding company, with us as the controlling equity holder, to create a solar panel manufacturing, distribution and sales entity to service global
markets (the Asola LOI). The assets of the new entity would include Asola and Quantum Solar as wholly-owned subsidiaries. Under the proposed terms of the Asola LOI, the transaction is contingent upon several

conditions including our ability to raise a certain level of capital in order to provide compensation to ConSolTec and to provide sufficient equity capital to the new entity to enable the
entitys expansion into additional global markets. The Asola LOI, as amended, contemplated a transaction completion date of June 30, 2011. We are currently seeking an extension of time to complete the transactions contemplated by the Asola
LOI.

Prior to the execution of the Asola LOI, we provided Asola and ConSolTec with written notice on December 28,
2009, that we were exercising our right to increase our ownership interest in Asola to 32.66% in exchange for payment of 0.1 million euro. The transaction to increase our ownership interest by 7.76% has not yet been completed and we have
reserved our right to withdraw the exercise pending the outcome of the Asola LOI.

We, through our subsidiary Quantum Solar,
Inc., intend to use Asolas expertise, technologies and know-how to enter the solar panel manufacturing industry in the United States and Canada. Our plan is for Quantum Solar to operate a solar panel manufacturing facility in Southern
California. We recently were awarded a $4.4 million low interest loan under the California Energy Commissions (CEC) Clean Energy Business Financing Program. Our ability to access the CEC loan is contingent on us providing a certain amount of
matching funds. If and when we are able to provide the matching funds, we intend to use these proceeds from the CEC loan to assist in the start up of Quantum Solars panel manufacturing operation. Through Quantum Solar, we also plan to assess
strategic opportunities in solar panel distribution and integration.

Leverage Our Hydrogen Storage Systems into Broader
Energy Storage Applications

We plan to utilize our full array of storage technologies, developed for automotive and
refueling applications, in broader applications within the energy industry. The storage of energy is becoming more important with the emergence of renewable energies and the concept of distributed energy. We believe our industry-leading hydrogen
storage systems can enhance the availability of intermittent renewable resources, like wind and solar by providing cost effective storage options. Our advanced storage technologies provide energy users with the ability to store and utilize energy on
demand.

Strategic Relationships

We evaluate on an ongoing basis the benefits of joint ventures, acquisitions and strategic alliances with our customers and other parties to strengthen our global business position and to expand our
business operations. We have focused our strategic alliances on expanding our market opportunities and advancing the development of our technologies.

Fisker Automotive

On August 7, 2007, we co-founded Fisker Automotive,
Inc. (Fisker Automotive), a joint venture with Fisker Coachbuild, LLC, which was formed for the purpose of producing premium plug-in hybrid automobiles. We owned 6.2 million shares of Fisker Automotives common stock as April 30,
2011, which represents less than 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Fisker Automotives capital stock.

Asola

On January 4, 2008, we acquired a 24.9% ownership interest in Asola, a solar module manufacturer located in Erfurt,
Germany. Asola has been developing and manufacturing high-efficiency photovoltaic modules for a number of innovative applications, including automotive, residential, and commercial applications for over 20 years. Asola developed the solar roof panel
that is incorporated into the Fisker Karma PHEV. Asolas current facility has an annual manufacturing capacity to produce 45 MW of solar panels. See discussion of Asola LOI under Business Strategy above.

On October 6, 2009, we acquired a 22% interest in Power Control and Design, Inc. (PCD). PCD designs and develops control
software for use in motor control, solar-to-grid, wind-turbine, electric vehicle charges and power conversion products and applications for infrastructure, automotive, aerospace and industrial markets.

Shigan Quantum

On September 3, 2009, we acquired at 25% interest in Shigan Quantum Technologies PVT LTD (Shigan Quantum), a start-up company organized under Indias Corporate Act. Shigan Quantum
intends to manufacture and sell gaseous fuel injectors using the Companys technologies and variants thereof.

General
Motors

In 2002, we entered into a ten-year strategic alliance with General Motors. We believe that our strategic alliance
with General Motors will advance and commercialize, on a global basis, the integration of our gaseous storage and handling systems into fuel cell systems used in the transportation markets. Under the alliance, Quantum and General Motors have
co-developed technologies that are designed to accelerate the commercialization of fuel cell applications. Additionally, General Motors will endorse Quantum as a recommended provider of hydrogen storage, hydrogen handling and associated electronic
controls. This strategic alliance expands the relationship that has been in place between General Motors and Quantum since 1993, through which we provided packaged natural gas and propane fuel systems for General Motors alternative fuel
vehicle products.

Customers and Development Programs

A substantial portion of our revenue in fiscal 2011 and in fiscal 2011 related to system development and application engineering services provided to Fisker Automotive and General Motors. During fiscal
year 2011, revenues from Fisker Automotive and General Motors comprised 56% and 13%, respectively, of our total consolidated revenue.

packaged fuel systems for automotive applications including hybrids, PHEVs, hydrogen electric vehicles, electric only vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, other alternative fuel vehicles, and hydrogen refueling.

Our research and development activities include both customer-funded research and development and company-sponsored research and
development that are further discussed in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results from Operations. We will continue to strategically invest in research and development over the next several
years in order to advance our products for hybrid, hydrogen fuel cell and alternative fuel applications.

Automotive Industry and the
Worldwide Economy

Our business is primarily related to hybrid, hydrogen and alternative fuel vehicle development programs
and product sales, which vary directly with the program timing and production schedules of our OEM and other customers. The market for these vehicles is sensitive to general economic conditions, government agency and commercial fleet spending and
consumer preferences. The rate at which our customers sell hybrid, hydrogen or alternative fuel vehicles depends on their marketing and distribution strategy, as well as company specific inventory and incentive programs. Any significant reduction or
increase in production of these vehicles by our OEM customers may have a material effect on our business.

During calendar
2009, the U.S. and world economy and the automotive industry deteriorated significantly and measures implemented by the federal government to stabilize the domestic credit markets and the economy have not been realized to the extent expected.
However, the automotive industry in particular received targeted

funding and bailouts from the federal government that have had a direct, positive impact on the Detroit-based automakers. Based on recent financial results reported by certain automakers and the
repayment of some of these loans, the White House has indicated the industry is recovering at a pace few thought possible. The automotive industry may take years to fully recover and the level of uncertainty in the economy as a whole remains real,
but we are experiencing a renewed sense of enthusiasm for advanced technology type vehicle programs from our OEM customers.

Competition

Electric Drive & Fuel Systems

A number of domestic and international automotive and industrial manufacturers are developing alternative clean power systems using lithium-ion batteries, hybrid systems, fuel cells or clean burning
gaseous fuels in order to decrease fuel costs, lessen dependence on crude oil and reduce harmful emissions.

The demand for
hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles has been increasing in response to consumer demand for vehicles that both meet performance expectations and are fuel efficient. Many of the major automotive OEMs (including General Motors, Ford,
Toyota and Honda) have rolled out prototypes of electric and/or hybrid electric vehicles over the past year that will compete with us, via our association with our affiliate, Fisker Automotive. We believe our expertise with technologies employed on
our hybrid propulsion systems together with our system integration experience offers a competitive advantage to OEM hybrid vehicle manufacturers.

We believe that our competitive advantage over current and potential future competitors is our software development, technology portfolio and integration expertise derived from many years of experience
with advanced propulsion systems. Our current competitors, such as Magna, typically focus on individual components and our concentrated on providing parts and supplies for high volume vehicle programs; not low to mid-volume programs. We offer
complete systems and subsystems based on our own control strategies and advanced technologies.

In the fuel cell and hydrogen
industry, our expertise is in hydrogen fuel storage, fuel delivery, electronic and drive system controls, and system integration. We do not manufacture fuel cells or fuel reformers. We may face competition from companies providing components such as
tanks, regulators or injectors. We may also face competition from traditional automotive component suppliers, such as Bosch, Delphi, Siemens, and Visteon, and from OEMs that develop fuel systems internally.

A critical element for hydrogen-based vehicles and OEM alternative fuel vehicles is fuel storage. Our major competitors for high-pressure
gaseous storage cylinders include Dynetek Industries Ltd., Lincoln Composites and Structural Composites Inc.

Many of these
potential competitors have been in business longer than us and have substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources than we have. We expect that we will face increased competition in the future as new competitors enter the
market and advanced technologies become available. In addition, consolidation in our industry may also affect our ability to compete. Consolidation may strengthen our competitors financial, technical and marketing resources and may provide
greater access to customers. Consequently, these competitors may be able to develop greater resources for the development, promotion and sale of their products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with our existing or
new competitors or that the competitive pressures will not materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Renewable Energy

In North America, large utility companies dominate the energy production industry, and coal continues to dominate as the primary resource
for electricity production. Electricity generated from wind and solar energy faces competition from conventional resources such as nuclear, oil and natural gas and from renewable technologies such as hydro, geothermal and biomass. The advantages of
conventional production of electricity are that:



| |  |  | the technology and infrastructure already exist for the use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | supply of most fossil fuels is plentiful and pricing is attractive on a levelized cost of energy basis, particularly for coal and natural gas.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, energy produced by conventional resources also faces a number of challenges including:



| |  |  | the inefficient atmospheric combustion of fossil fuels leads to the release of pollution into the atmosphere including carbon dioxide which is largely
considered the primary cause of global warming;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fossil fuels are non-renewable unsustainable resources which are expected to eventually decline in production and become exhausted with potentially
negative consequences to societies that remain highly dependent on them.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In contrast, electricity generated
from wind and solar energy:



| |  |  | produces no water or air pollution that can contaminate the environment because there are no chemical processes involved in wind and solar power
generation; therefore, there are no waste by-products such as carbon dioxide;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | does not contribute to global warming because it does not generate greenhouse gases; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | benefit from zero-cost renewable fuel sources;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

However, wind and solar energy producers also face certain obstacles including:



| |  |  | wind strength and sunshine levels that are not consistent as they change throughout each day and season; producing intermittent flow of power as
compared to conventional baseload sources;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | residents in communities where wind and solar farms exist may consider them an eyesore or possibly even a health risk; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | wind farms, depending on their location, may negatively affect bird migration patterns and may pose a danger to bird and bats in certain time periods;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While we compete with owners of electrical generation assets, including owners of fossil fuel generation
assets, we believe our primary competitors are developers and operators focused on renewable energy generation. Renewable energy sources, including wind, biomass, geothermal and solar, currently benefit from various governmental incentives such as
feed-in tariffs, tax credits, cash grants and loan guarantees, RPS programs and associated RECs and accelerated tax depreciation. Many of these incentives are not available with respect to energy generated from fossil fuels. The wind and solar
energy industry in North America has a range of developers, including large integrated independent power producers and established European producers, many of whom have greater financial and other resources than we do. While our pipeline spans
several regions across North America, we have not achieved the scale of many of the larger wind energy producers.

In the wind
and solar energy sectors, competition occurs primarily during the development stages of a project rather than during a projects operational phase. As discussed in Risk Factors, wind and solar projects require certain natural
conditions that are found in limited geographic areas and at particular sites. Projects must also interconnect to electricity transmission or distribution networks to deliver electricity. We compete with other developers for desirable sites and for
the ability to connect to transmission or distribution networks. Depending



19

##### Table of Contents

on the regulatory framework and market dynamics of a region, we may also face competition in bidding for long-term PPAs. Because the renewable energy industry in North America is at an early
stage, we also compete with other renewable energy developers for personnel with requisite industry knowledge and experience.

Safety,
Regulation, and Product Certification

The manufacture, distribution and sale of our products are subject to governmental
regulations in the United States at the federal, state and local levels. The most extensive regulations are promulgated under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, which, among other things, empowers the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) to require a manufacturer to remedy certain defects related to motor vehicle safety or vehicles that fail to conform to all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards are promulgated by the NHTSA. Many of our products are affected by these standards. We engage
various testing companies, which also perform testing for NHTSA, to test certain of our products. NHTSA can require automotive manufacturers to recall products. We have not experienced any material recalls.

Like other automotive OEMs and manufacturers of automotive component parts, we may be subject to claims that our products caused or
contributed to damage or injury sustained in vehicle accidents or may be required to recall products deemed to contain defects related to motor vehicle safety. We believe that we are adequately insured for any claims. However, any such claims in
excess of our insurance coverage or material product recall expenses could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Promulgation of additional safety standards in the future could require us to incur additional testing and
engineering expenses that could adversely affect our results of operations.

We must obtain emission compliance certification
from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to introduce vehicles or engines into commerce in the United States, and from the California Air Resources Board to introduce vehicles or engines into commerce in California. Certification requires that
each vehicle or engine meet specific component, subsystem and vehicle-level durability, emission, evaporative, and idle tests. Both federal and state authorities have various environmental control standards relating to air, water and noise pollution
that affect our business and operations.

Furthermore, we strive to meet stringent industry standards set by various
regulatory bodies and industry practices, including the U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, the National Fire Protection Association, TÜV, European Integrated Hydrogen Project, Kouatsugasu Hoan Kyokai,
Underwriters Laboratories, and American Gas Association. Approvals enhance the acceptability of our products in the domestic marketplace. Many foreign countries also accept these agency approvals as satisfying the approval for sale
requirements in their markets.

Our international sales are subject to foreign tariffs and taxes, changes in which are
difficult to predict and which can adversely affect sales. Our products must also comply with government safety standards imposed in our foreign markets.

Backlog

As of April 30, 2011, our total backlog was $40.9 million as
compared to $43.8 million as of April 30, 2010. Our backlog consists of product orders that we believe are firm plus revenue associated with development service programs under contract that has not yet been recognized under the percentage
of completion method. We anticipate that a substantial portion of the current backlog will be completed by the end of fiscal 2012. Included in our current backlog is $21.3 million for planned shipments of our Q-Drive system for the Fisker
Karma vehicle that is scheduled to go into high volume production in the second half of calendar 2011. Any significant delays on behalf of Fisker Automotive could extend the time required to realize all revenues associated with the backlog.

Intellectual Property

The continued development and protection of our intellectual property is crucial to our future success. We rely primarily on patent and trade secret laws to protect our intellectual property rights.
Although we recognize the importance of patent and trade secret laws and, when appropriate, seek the advantages and benefits these laws offer, we believe that our growth and future success will be more dependent on factors such as the knowledge,
experience and expertise of our personnel, new product introductions, continued emphasis on research and development and creation of know-how.

We do not know whether any patents will be issued from our patent applications or whether the scopes of our issued patents are sufficiently broad to protect our technologies or processes. Our patents may
not provide us a competitive advantage. Competitors may successfully challenge the validity and/or scope of our patents and trademarks. We also rely on a combination of trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws and various
contract rights to protect our proprietary rights. However, we do not believe our intellectual property rights provide significant protection from competition. We believe that establishing and maintaining strong strategic relationships with valued
customers and OEMs are the most significant factors protecting us from new competitors.

In connection with our strategic
alliance with General Motors, each party retains the ownership of its existing technology and jointly owns technology that is jointly created under the alliance. No jointly owned patents have been received or applied for under the alliance. Under
the alliance, each party granted the other certain exclusive and/or nonexclusive licenses with respect to certain intellectual property developed by such party prior to and during the term of the alliance and also with respect to the jointly owned
intellectual property. During the term of the alliance, we are subject to certain transfer restrictions with respect to the pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, sale or licensing of certain intellectual property. Further, we are obligated to share
with General Motors a portion of our revenues generated from the sale of our gaseous storage, handling and control products for fuel cell systems for both automotive and non-automotive applications. The revenue sharing payments continue for a period
of 45 years. We do not expect the revenue sharing payments to begin until at least the 2012 fiscal year. Given the uncertainty of the amount of revenues we will generate from the sale of our gaseous storage, handling and control products in future
years, we are unable to quantify the amount of revenue sharing payments we will be required to make to General Motors, if any.

Employees

As of June 15, 2011, we had 102 full-time employees and 10 part-time employees in our combined businesses.
During peak production periods, we may increase our work force. Historically, the available labor force has been adequate to meet such periodic requirements. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our
relations with our employees to be good.

Financial
Information about Segments, Customer Concentrations and Geographic Areas

Additional information regarding our business
segments, certain customer concentrations and geographic areas where we have revenues is contained in Notes 17 and 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1) of this 2011 Annual Report.



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors.
|-------- | -------------

This
Annual Report, including the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We face a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. These risks and uncertainties should be
considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Annual Report. We undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any
revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances in the future or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. We discuss all known material risks to our business below. The risks and
uncertainties described are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties may also adversely impair our business operations.If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, our financial condition or our
results of operations would likely suffer significantly. In such case, the value of our common stock could decline and adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.

RISKS RELATED TO LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Although our financial statements have
been prepared on a going concern basis, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Our
auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended April 30, 2011, indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position we may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result if we are unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial
portion of their investment.

##### Table of Contents

We may not be able to refinance, extend or repay our substantial indebtedness owed to our senior secured
lender, which would have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.

We anticipate that we will need to raise a significant amount of debt or equity capital in the near future in order to repay certain
obligations owed to our senior secured lender when they mature. As of June 15, 2011, the total amount owing to our senior secured lender was approximately $15.5 million (the Senior Debt Amount), which includes approximately $12.5 million of
principal and interest due under three convertible promissory notes that are scheduled to mature on August 31, 2011, and a $3.0 million term note (referred to in our consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this Annual Report as the
Consent Fee Note) that is potentially payable in cash upon demand beginning on August 1, 2011 if our stock is below $10.00 at the time demand for payment is made. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital to repay these obligations at
maturity and we are otherwise unable to extend the maturity dates or refinance these obligations, we would be in default. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise the necessary amount of capital to repay these obligations or
that we will be able to extend the maturity dates or otherwise refinance these obligations. Upon a default, our senior secured lender would have the right to exercise its rights and remedies to collect, which would include foreclosing on our assets.
Accordingly, a default would have a material adverse effect on our business and, if our senior secured lender exercises its rights and remedies, we would likely be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

We may not be able to maintain compliance with NASDAQs continued listing requirements.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other
requirements including, without limitation, a requirement that our closing bid price be at least $1.00 per share. On February 8, 2011, we implemented a 1-for-20 reverse stock split in order to regain compliance with the $1.00 closing bid price
requirement. If we fail to continue to meet all applicable Nasdaq Global Market requirements in the future and Nasdaq determines to delist our common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, our ability
to obtain financing to repay debt and fund our operations.

We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow and we anticipate
that we will need to raise additional funds to finance operations.

We have a history of operating losses and negative cash
flow. We have incurred recurring net losses, including net losses from operations of $28.0 million, $46.3 million and $11.3 million in fiscal 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. We used $16.9 million, $14.7 million and $13.6 million of cash for
operating activities during fiscal 2009, 2010 and fiscal 2011, respectively.

We will need to raise additional capital to meet
our expected cash needs. Our cash needs will depend on numerous factors, including our revenues, completion of our product development activities, our ability to commercialize our advanced propulsion and fuel systems, market acceptance of electric,
plug-in electric and fuel cell vehicles, customer and market acceptance and use of our products, the development of an infrastructure to support electric, plug-in electric and fuel cell vehicles, increase in customer programs and product
development, and our ability to reduce and control costs. We expect to devote substantial capital resources to fund expected losses, continue development programs, build out our portfolio of wind and solar energy farms, start up our planned solar
module manufacturing plant, and meet our debt obligations. If we are unable to secure such additional financing, it will have a material adverse effect on our business and we may have to limit operations in a manner inconsistent with our development
and commercialization plans. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities or convertible debt securities, it will be dilutive to our stockholders and could result in a decrease in our stock price.

We have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from public and private offerings of our common stock and secured and unsecured
debt instruments. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding from public or private offerings on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our inability to



24



---

##### Table of Contents

achieve our current operating plan or raise capital to cover any potential shortfall would have a material adverse affect on our ability to meet our obligations as they become due without
substantial disposition of assets or other similar actions outside the ordinary course of business. If we are not able to secure the additional funding we need, we would need to curtail our operations or take other action in order to continue to
operate as a going concern.

Our history of operating losses and cash uses, our projections of the level of cash that will be
required for our operations to reach profitability, the terms of the private placement transactions that we completed in the past, and the restricted availability of credit for emerging industries, may impair our ability to raise capital on terms
that we consider reasonable and at the levels that we will require over the coming months. Our inability to raise sufficient capital as needed over the foreseeable future would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going
concern.

Our stockholders are subject to significant dilution upon the occurrence of certain events which could result in a decrease in
our stock price.

As of June 15, 2011, we had approximately 9.5 million shares of our common stock reserved or
designated for future issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, and conversion of outstanding convertible debt and bridge notes. Further, we may from time to time make an offer to our warrant holders to exchange their
outstanding warrants for shares of our common stock, a fewer number of warrants with more favorable terms, or a combination thereof.

Included in the shares of common stock designated for future issuance discussed above are 1,334,906 shares that are subject to warrant contracts issued in October 2006 that are currently exercisable at
$2.92 per share (the October 2006 Warrants). The October 2006 Warrants contain a provision that, subject to certain exceptions, resets the exercise price of such warrants if at any time while such warrants are outstanding we sell or
issue (or are deemed to sell or issue) shares of our common stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock at a price below the then current exercise price per
share for such warrants. In the event of future price resets, the number of shares of our common stock that are subject to such warrants increase so that the aggregate purchase price payable applicable to the exercise of the warrants after the reset
of the exercise price is the same as the aggregate purchase price payable immediately prior to the reset. Any future resets to the exercise price of the October 2006 Warrants will have a further dilutive effect on our existing stockholders and could
result in a decrease in our stock price.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock into the public and the
issuance of the shares reserved for future issuance, in payment of our term debt, and/or in exchange for outstanding warrants will be dilutive to our existing stockholders and could result in a decrease in our stock price.

The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile.

The market price and trading volume of our common stock has been volatile. We expect that the market price of our common stock will continue to fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including in
response to the risk factors described in this report or for reasons unrelated to our specific performance. In recent years, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has affected the market prices of
securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and may adversely affect the market price and trading volume of our common stock. Prices for our common stock may also be influenced by the depth and liquidity
of the market for our common stock, investor perceptions about us and our business, our future financial results, the absence of cash dividends on our common stock and general economic and market conditions. In the past, securities class action
litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and could divert our management and other resources.

We may not be able to obtain waivers of potential defaults in the future from our lender if we do not
meet future requirements associated with our amended credit facility and convertible promissory note.

We received waivers
of defaults from our senior secured lender on March 12, 2009, January 16, 2008 and December 14, 2007 and we were operating under a Forbearance Agreement with our senior lender from January 3, 2011 through April 29, 2011
related to our non-compliance with certain required debt service payments and covenants. We cannot provide any assurance that our lender would provide us with a waiver should we not be in compliance in the future. A failure to maintain compliance
along with our lender not agreeing to a waiver for the non-compliance would cause the outstanding borrowings to be in default and payable on demand which would have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have a commitment to provide a guaranty to an affiliates credit facility that could be called upon if the affiliate defaults on
the credit facility in the future.

In connection with our acquisition of an ownership interest in our German solar
affiliate, Asola, we committed to provide a 1.0 million euro guaranty to Asolas bank to support an increase in Asolas bank debt. To date, Asolas bank has not required us to put the guaranty in place. However, we cannot provide
any assurance that we will not be required to put the guaranty in place in the future. If and when the guaranty is put in place, we could be called upon to repay the credit facility up to the limit of our guaranty if Asola were to default on its
credit facility.

The change in value of our derivative liabilities could have a material effect on our financial results.

Included on our balance sheet at April 30, 2011 are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within certain
warrant contracts. At each reporting period, we are required to determine the fair value of such derivatives and record the fair value adjustments as non-cash unrealized gains or losses. The share price of our common stock represents the primary
underlying variable that impacts the value of the derivative instruments. Additional factors that impact the value of the derivative instruments include the volatility of our stock price, our credit rating, discount rates, and stated interest rates.
Due to the volatile nature of our share price, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our derivative instruments each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

Our financial condition may impair our ability to obtain credit terms with our suppliers.

Our automotive contracts typically provide us with payment terms of at least 30 days. However, our financial condition may make it
difficult for us to continue to receive payment terms of at least 30 days or may result in one or more of our suppliers making demand for adequate assurance, which could include a demand for payment-in-advance. If we are unable to obtain reasonable
payment terms or if any of our material suppliers were to successfully demand payment-in-advance, it could have a material adverse affect on our liquidity.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

Risks Related to our Electric Drive & Fuel
Systems Segment

Fisker Automotive represents a substantial portion of our existing and anticipated future revenues and these future
revenues will depend on Fisker Automotives success.

A large percentage of our revenue is typically derived from a
small number of customers, in particular, Fisker Automotive, and we expect this trend to continue. During fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011, our revenues from Fisker Automotive comprised 59%, 46% and 56%, respectively, of our total revenues. We
expect that our revenues from Fisker Automotive for fiscal year 2012 and the foreseeable future will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total revenues. If there is a significant unfavorable change in our agreements with

##### Table of Contents

Fisker Automotive or if there are delays in the development and/or production schedule of the Fisker Karma vehicle platform or the number of Fisker Karma vehicles sold does not meet expectations,
it would have a material adverse affect on our business operations and financial results.

Fisker Automotives success and, in turn,
our success and ability to reach profitability, is highly dependent on Fisker Automotives ability to access the full amount of a $528 million Department of Energy loan.

Our ability to achieve profitability is highly dependent on the success of Fisker Automotive. Fisker Automotive intends to use the
proceeds of a Department of Energy loan (DOE Loan) to complete the development, testing and tooling for its Karma vehicle platform and future vehicle platforms. Fisker Automotives ability to access the DOE Loan is subject to a
number of conditions and covenants. If Fisker Automotive is unable to satisfy the DOE Loan conditions or violates any of the DOE Loan covenants, it may not be able to access the full amount of the DOE Loan or obtain alternative sources of funding,
which could have a material adverse effect on Fisker Automotives ability to bring the Karma and other vehicle models to production. Failure or delays in bringing the Fisker Karma to production would have a material adverse effect on our
business operations and financial results.

Our fuel cell vehicle development and production revenue depends on our relationship with
General Motors and General Motors commitment to and success with the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles.

General Motors has represented a significant portion of our historical revenues and although our relationship with General Motors under
our strategic alliance continues, certain of our programs with General Motors have been delayed indefinitely and others have experienced funding restraints. Although we received a $10.0 million fuel cell program award in fiscal year 2011 from
General Motors and anticipate that revenue levels from General Motors will increase over the next couple of years compared to the revenues recorded in fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011, we cannot provide any assurances when, or if, the level of
services and amount of revenues will attain the levels reached prior to fiscal year 2009.

Certain of our agreements with General Motors
could impair our ability to grow our hydrogen fuel systems business.

On February 14, 2011, we and General Motors
entered into an Agreement in Support of Development and an Access and Security Agreement in connection with a $10.0 million development and validation program related to hydrogen storage vessels and systems for General Motors fuel cell
vehicles. The agreements provide General Motors with certain rights should an event of default under either of those agreements occur including, without limitation, (i) a security interest in and an option to purchase at orderly liquidation
value any equipment and tooling owned by us and used in the development and/or production of the components that are the subject of the Agreement in Support of Development (the Component Parts), (ii) the right to access our premises
and to use our equipment, tooling and employees for a period of up to 360 days in order to continue development or production, as the case may be; provided, however, General Motors shall be obligated to pay all actual costs related thereto, and
(iii) a broad license to use our intellectual property embedded in or related to the deliverable being developed to make, have made, use, produce, manufacture, assemble, package, and distribute the Component Parts. If an event of default
occurred and GM exercised any of such rights, it could have a material adverse effect on our fuel systems business.

Failure to secure
financing for Quantum Solar could adversely affect our operating results.

We have a long-term lease agreement for our
88,000 square foot facility located in Irvine, California, which is currently underutilized. We intend for our subsidiary, Quantum Solar, to use that facility as a solar panel manufacturing facility. We intend to use the proceeds from the CEC loan
to assist with funding the start-up of Quantum Solar. However, draw downs under the CEC loan are subject to certain conditions, namely, the investment by us of a specified amount of matching funds. We must raise sufficient matching funds and draw



27

##### Table of Contents

down on the loan before March 31, 2012 or the loan commitment will terminate. If we are unable to secure sufficient capital to fund the commissioning of a solar manufacturing plant and
Quantum Solars operations, we will not be able to access the funds under the CEC loan and the cost associated with maintaining the Irvine facility will adversely affect our operations as long as it continues to be underutilized.

We have commitments under a corporate alliance agreement with General Motors that require us to spend up to $4.0 million annually for research and
development projects directed by General Motors.

Pursuant to our corporate alliance agreement with General Motors, we are
required to spend up to $4.0 million annually on joint research and development projects directed by General Motors over a ten-year term that commenced in July 2002. Although this commitment was waived or partially waived by General Motors for
calendar years 2002 through 2010, we cannot provide any assurance that General Motors will continue to waive this commitment in whole or in part in the future. The annual commitment under our agreement with General Motors could be financially
burdensome and may impact our ability to achieve profitability in the future.

We depend on third-party suppliers for the supply of
materials and components for our products.

We depend on third-party suppliers for the supply of materials and components
for our products. These companies may experience product development, resource and funding constraints that could impact their ability to supply components in a timely manner, if at all. Further, a prolonged downturn in the automotive industry could
have a crippling effect on the automotive supplier chain which, in turn, could result in failures and disruptions in the supply of parts and components to us and materially affect our ability to meet our supply obligations to Fisker Automotive and
other customers.

Our ability to design and manufacture powertrain and fuel systems for hybrid, hydrogen and fuel cell applications that
can be integrated into new vehicle platforms will be critical to our business and our ability to successfully complete existing development programs.

We are currently developing and integrating advanced hybrid propulsion systems for production intent vehicles. These electric drive and fuel systems are being designed to meet strict design and packaging
requirements of our customers. Customers for these systems require that these products meet either their strict design standards or OEM level standards that can vary by jurisdiction. Compliance with these requirements has resulted in increased
development, manufacturing, warranty and administrative costs. A significant increase in these costs could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we fail to meet OEM or customer specifications on a timely
basis, our existing or future relationships with our OEM and other customers may be harmed, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

To be commercially viable, our products and systems generally must be integrated into products manufactured by OEMs. We can offer no
assurance that OEMs will manufacture appropriate products or, if they do manufacture such products, that they will choose to use our hybrid and fuel cell products and systems. Any integration, design, manufacturing or marketing problems encountered
by OEMs could adversely affect the market for our hybrid and fuel cell products and systems, and our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business depends on the growth of hybrid electric, hydrogen, and alternative fuel based vehicles.

Our future success depends on the continued expansion and commercialization of hybrid electric, hydrogen and alternative fuel based vehicles. The market for these types of vehicles and technologies is
influenced by and our sales may be negatively impacted by a number of factors, including, without limitation, oil prices, battery durability improvements, levels of investment tax credits and regulation, capital formation, interest rates and
consumer disposable income.

##### Table of Contents

The development, growth and acceptance of alternative fuel based vehicles is highly
dependent on macro-economic conditions, specifically oil prices and the overall health of the economy. We believe if and when oil prices fall, the general attention placed on the development of advanced technology vehicles diminishes. Similarly, we
believe consumers are less willing to spend a technology premium when faced with economic uncertainty. The downturn in the world economy is placing a tremendous strain on the automotive industry, including slowing demand for vehicles and
limiting funding for alternative fuel vehicle programs outside of governmental grant and loan programs.

Additionally, we
cannot provide any assurances that the markets for hybrid electric vehicles and other alternative energy based vehicles will gain broad acceptance in any economic environment or, if they do, that they will result in increased sales of hybrid
vehicles and our advanced fuel system products. Our business depends on auto manufacturers timing for pre-production development programs and commercial production. If there are delays in the advancement of OEM alternative fuel technologies or
in our OEM customers internal plans for advanced vehicle commercialization, our financial results could be adversely affected.

A
mass market for hydrogen products and systems may never develop or may take longer to develop than anticipated.

Fuel cell
and hydrogen systems represent emerging technologies, and we do not know whether consumers will adopt these technologies on a large scale or whether OEMs will incorporate these technologies into their products. In particular, if a mass market fails
to develop, or develops more slowly than anticipated, for hydrogen powered transportation applications, we may be unable to recover our expenditures to develop our fuel systems for hydrogen applications and may be unable to achieve or maintain
profitability, any of which could negatively impact our business. Many factors that are beyond our control may have a negative effect on the development of a mass market for fuel cells and our fuel systems for hydrogen applications. These factors
include the following:



| |  |  | cost competitiveness and physical size of fuel cell systems and balance of plant components (e.g. fuel metering and regulation,
bi-directional flow monitoring, sensors, etc.);

Evolving customer design requirements, product specifications and testing procedures could cause order delays or cancellations.

We have experienced delays in shipping our products in the past as a result of changing customer specifications and testing procedures.
Due to the dynamic nature of hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell technology, changes in specifications are common and may result in delayed shipments, order cancellations or higher production costs. Evolving design requirements or product specifications
may adversely affect our business or financial results.

We have limited experience manufacturing hybrid propulsion and fuel systems on a
commercial basis.

We have limited experience manufacturing propulsion and fuel systems for hybrid, plug-in electric
hybrid, fuel cell and hydrogen applications on a commercial basis. In order to produce propulsion systems for hybrid and fuel cell applications at affordable prices, we will have to produce hybrid and fuel cell drive systems through

high volume automated processes. We do not know whether we, or our suppliers, will be able to develop efficient, automated, low-cost manufacturing capability and processes that will enable us to
meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards, or production volumes required to successfully mass market our propulsion systems for hybrid and fuel cell applications. Even if we, or our suppliers, are successful in
developing our high volume manufacturing capability and processes, we do not know whether we will be able to do so in time to meet our product commercialization schedules or to satisfy the requirements of our customers. Our failure to develop such
manufacturing processes and capabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may not meet our product development and commercialization milestones.

We have product development programs that are in the pre-commercial stage. The success of each product development program is highly dependent on our correct interpretation of commercial market
requirements, and our translation of those requirements into applicable product specifications and appropriate development milestones. If we have misinterpreted market requirements, or if the requirements of the market change, we may develop a
product that does not meet the cost and performance requirements for a successful commercial product. In addition, if we do not meet the required development milestones, our commercialization schedules could be delayed, which could result in
potential purchasers of these products declining to purchase additional systems or choosing to purchase alternative technologies. Delayed commercialization schedules may also impact our cash flow, which could require increased funding.

We may be subject to warranty claims, and our provision for warranty costs may not be sufficient.

We may be subject to increased warranty claims as our products go to production due to longer warranty periods. In response to consumer
demand, vehicle manufacturers have been providing, and may continue to provide, increasingly longer warranty periods for their products. As a consequence, these manufacturers require their suppliers, such as us, to provide correspondingly longer
product warranties. As a result, we could incur substantially greater warranty claims in the future.

Our business may be subject to
product liability claims or product recalls, which could be expensive and could result in a diversion of managements attention.

The automotive industry experiences significant product liability claims. As a supplier of products and systems to automotive OEMs, we face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability
claims in the event that our products, or the equipment into which our products are incorporated, malfunction and result in personal injury or death. We may be named in product liability claims even if there is no evidence that our systems or
components caused the accidents. Product liability claims could result in significant losses as a result of expenses incurred in defending claims or the award of damages. The sale of systems and components for the transportation industry entails a
high risk of these claims. In addition, we may be required to participate in recalls involving these systems if any of our systems prove to be defective, or we may voluntarily initiate a recall or make payments related to such claims as a result of
various industry or business practices or the need to maintain good customer relationships. Our other products may also be subject to product liability claims or recalls. We cannot assure you that our product liability insurance will be sufficient
to cover all product liability claims, that such claims will not exceed our insurance coverage limits or that such insurance will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Any product liability claim brought against us
could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.

Our business may become subject to future product certification
regulations, which may impair our ability to market our products.

We must obtain product certification from governmental
agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, to sell certain of our products in the United States and internationally. A significant portion of our future sales will depend upon sales of fuel
management products

that are certified to meet existing and future air quality and energy standards. We cannot assure you that our products will continue to meet these standards. The failure to comply with these
certification requirements could result in the recall of our products or in civil or criminal penalties.

We anticipate that
regulatory bodies will establish certification procedures and impose regulations on fuel cell enabling technologies, which may impair our ability to distribute, install and service these systems. Any new government regulation that affects our
advanced fuel technologies, whether at the foreign, federal, state or local level, including any regulations relating to installation and servicing of these systems, may increase our costs and the price of our systems. As a result, these regulations
may have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Failure to comply with applicable environmental
and other laws and regulations could adversely affect our business and harm our results of operations.

We use hazardous
materials in our research and development and manufacturing processes, and as a result are subject to federal, state, local and foreign regulations governing the use, storage, handling and disposal of these materials and hazardous waste products
that we generate. Although we believe that our procedures for using, handling, storing and disposing of hazardous materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from
hazardous materials and we may incur liability as a result of any such contamination or injury. In the event of an accident, including a discharge of hazardous materials into the environment, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with
fines, and the liability could exceed our insurance and other resources. We have also incurred and may continue to incur expenses related to compliance with environmental laws. Such future expenses or liability could have a significant negative
impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, we cannot assure you that the cost of complying with these laws and regulations will not materially increase in the future.

We are also subject to various other federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations. Failure to comply with applicable laws and
regulations, including new or revised safety or environmental standards, could give rise to significant liability and require us to incur substantial expenses and could materially harm our results of operations.

New technologies could render our existing products obsolete.

New developments in technology may negatively affect the development or sale of some or all of our products or make our products obsolete. A range of other technologies could compete with plug-in electric
hybrid, fuel cell, hydrogen, hybrid or other technologies on which our automotive business is currently focused. Our success depends upon our ability to design, develop and market new or modified hybrid and fuel cell products and systems. Our
inability to enhance existing products in a timely manner or to develop and introduce new products that incorporate new technologies, conform to increasingly stringent emission standards and performance requirements and achieve market acceptance in
a timely manner could negatively impact our competitive position. New product development or modification is costly, involves significant research, development, time and expense and may not necessarily result in the successful commercialization of
any new products.

Uniform codes and standards for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and related hydrogen refueling infrastructure may not
develop in a timely fashion.

Uniform codes and standards do not currently exist for fuel cell systems, fuel cell
components or the use of hydrogen as a vehicle fuel. Establishment of appropriate codes and standards is a critical element to allow fuel cell system developers, fuel cell component developers and hydrogen storage and handling companies to develop
products that will be accepted in the marketplace.

All fuels, including hydrogen, pose significant safety hazards, and hydrogen vehicles have
not yet been widely used under real-world driving conditions. Ensuring that hydrogen fuel is safe to use by the car-driving public requires that appropriate codes and standards be established that will address certain characteristics of
hydrogen and the safe handling of hydrogen fuels.

The development of fuel cell and hydrogen fuel applicable standards is
being undertaken by numerous organizations, including the American National Standards Institute, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the European Integrated Hydrogen Project, the International Code Council, the International Standards
Organization, the National Fire Protection Association, the National Hydrogen Association, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Canadian Standards Association, the American National Standards Institute and the International Electrotechnical
Commission. Given the number of organizations pursuing hydrogen and fuel cell codes and standards, it is not clear whether universally accepted codes and standards will result and, if so, when.

Although many organizations have identified as a significant priority the development of codes and standards, we cannot assure you that
any resulting codes and standards would not materially affect our revenue or the commercialization of our products.

Risks Related to Our
Renewable Energy Segment

Schneider Powers success is highly dependent on its ability to obtain a substantial amount of capital in
order to build and commission its renewable energy project pipeline.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Schneider Power, will
need substantial capital in order to complete the development and construction of its wind and solar energy project pipeline. If Schneider Power is unable to obtain financing for its project pipeline, then it could result in significant delays in
the development and construction of such projects or the sale or other disposition of such projects, which could have a material adverse effect on Schneider Powers business, its ability to repay any intercompany loans made by us and our
ability to realize the expected value we paid to acquire Schneider Power.

Schneider Powers success is highly dependent on its
ability to obtain permits, approvals, authorization, power purchase agreements and retain its land rights.

In order for
Schneider Power to successfully develop and construct the wind and solar energy projects in its development pipeline it will need to obtain a number of various permits, approvals and authorizations from various federal, state, provincial and
municipal governmental agencies and power purchase agreements with the respective governments or other third parties and must maintain its land access rights for such projects. We cannot provide any assurances that it will be able to obtain and
maintain such permits, approvals, authorizations, agreements or land rights. Failure to obtain and maintain such permits, approvals, authorizations, agreements and land rights could result in significant delays or termination of the development
projects, which could have a material adverse effect on Schneider Powers business.

Development and construction of wind and solar
energy projects is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.

Development and construction of wind and solar
electricity generation facilities is dependent on site assessment and the successful planning, installation and commissioning of clusters of wind turbines and solar module arrays, which includes foundation and interconnection structures. There is
always the risk that a project will sustain delays and incur material cost overruns. In addition, wind and solar potential for a particular generation facility is based on historical data and weather patterns which may change significantly and have
an adverse impact on future energy output and project profitability and cash flow for any given period.

Fluctuations in the Euro and Canadian dollar could have a material effect on Schneider Powers
business and operations.

Schneider Power, a Canadian entity, purchases its wind turbines and a majority of its other
capital equipment from foreign suppliers that transact in Euro and U.S. dollars and which have long lead times. Unfavorable fluctuations in the Euro and U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar could have a significant adverse effect on Schneider
Powers financial results and could significantly increase the cost of capital equipment purchased from such foreign suppliers.

Decrease in demand or price for solar cells could have an adverse effect on our financial statements.

We, through our affiliate Asola, have entered into a long-term supply agreement under which we have agreed to purchase solar cells with a
cumulative power of 77.5 mega watts (MW) through December 31, 2017 at pre-determined quantities that could cause us and Asola to hold larger than expected quantities of inventory on hand as a result of future decreased demand, and at
pre-determined prices that could be above market rates in the future that could cause us and Asola to incur losses on the sale of products manufactured utilizing the solar cells. The spot trading prices for solar cell deliveries have decreased to
levels that are currently below prices that we have secured for this applicable period under the long-term supply agreement. As a result, Asola demanded an adjustment to the stated pricing under the supply agreement in a fair and reasonable manner
to account for the change in economic circumstances under a loyalty clause contained in the supply agreement. Asolas demand and the subsequent negotiations were not successful and the matter is now in litigation in Germany. We
cannot provide any assurance that the matter will be resolved in Asolas favor. If the matter is resolved unfavorably to Asola and it is determined that a loss is probable on our remaining commitments to purchase the solar cells, we will be
required to record a charge in the future for the difference between our remaining unconditional commitments and our estimated net realizable value and that charge could be material.

Other Risks Related to Our Business

Our credit agreement with our senior secured lender
contains certain negative covenants that could restrict our ability to implement our business plan.

Pursuant to the terms
of the credit agreement with our senior secured lender, we must first obtain the consent of our senior secured lender before entering into certain transactions or undertaking certain activities including, without limitation, incurring additional
debt outside the ordinary course of business, acquiring the stock or assets of another business or entity, and selling or leasing our assets other than in the ordinary course of business. In connection with our acquisition of Schneider Power, our
senior secured lender required us to pay a consent fee of $3.0 million which we satisfied by our delivery of a promissory note which is described in our financial statements as the Consent Fee Term Note. In the event that our business plan
contemplates transactions or activities that are prohibited under the credit agreement and our senior secured lender is unwilling to give its consent, then we will either have to pay our senior secured lender a fee in order to get its consent or,
alternatively, revise our business plan.

Past acquisitions and any future acquisitions, equity investments, joint ventures, strategic
alliances or other similar transactions may not be successful.

We have consummated and may continue to consummate
acquisitions, equity investments, joint ventures and strategic alliances in order to provide increased capabilities to our existing products, supply new products and services or enhance our distribution channels. We expect to continue to make
strategic acquisitions of and investments in other businesses that offer complementary products, services and technologies, augment our market segment coverage and geographic locations, or enhance our technological capabilities. We may also enter
into strategic alliances or joint ventures to achieve these goals. If we fail to integrate acquired businesses successfully into our existing businesses, or incur unforeseen expenses in consummating future acquisitions or other investments, we could
incur unanticipated expenses and losses.

Any transactions or relationships will be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered with
those matters. Risks that could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations or financial condition include, without limitation:

We currently face and will continue to face significant competition.

Our
products face and will continue to face significant competition. New developments in technology may negatively affect the development or sale of some or all of our products or make our products uncompetitive or obsolete. Other companies, many of
which have substantially greater resources, are currently engaged in the development of plug-in electric hybrid, hydrogen and electric hybrid propulsion products and technologies that are similar to, or may be competitive with, certain of our
products and technologies.

Because the plug-in electric hybrid, fuel cell and hybrid propulsion technologies have the
potential to replace existing power sources, competition for plug-in electric, fuel cell and hybrid products will come from current power technologies, from improvements to current power technologies and from new alternative power technologies.
Increases in the market for alternative fueled vehicles may cause OEMs to find it advantageous to develop and produce their own hybrid propulsion or fuel management equipment rather than purchase the equipment from us. In addition, greater
acceptance of plug-in electric hybrid, electric vehicles and alternative fuel engines or fuel cells may result in new competitors. Furthermore, there are competitors, including OEMs, working on developing other plug-in electric, fuel cell and hybrid
vehicle technologies in our targeted markets. A large number of corporations, national laboratories and universities in the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan possess plug-in electric, fuel cell and hybrid vehicle technology and/or are
actively engaged in the development and manufacture of plug-in electric, fuel cell and hybrid vehicles. Each of these competitors has the potential to capture market share in various markets, which would have a material adverse effect on our
position in the industry and our business, results of operations and financial condition. Many of our competitors have greater financial, labor and other resources and a more diverse and developed customer base which give them significant
competitive advantages.

We depend on our intellectual property, and our failure to protect that intellectual property could
adversely affect our future growth and success.

Our failure to protect our existing intellectual property rights may
result in the loss of exclusivity or the right to use our technologies. If we do not adequately ensure our freedom to use certain technology, we may have to pay others for rights to use their intellectual property, pay damages for infringement or
misappropriation, and/or be enjoined from using such intellectual property.

We have not conducted formal evaluations to
confirm that our technology and products do not or will not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties. As a result, we cannot be certain that our technology and products do not or will not infringe upon the intellectual
property rights of third parties. If infringement were to occur, our development, manufacturing, sales and distribution of such technology or products may be disrupted.

We rely on patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright law to protect our intellectual property. Our patent position is subject to complex factual and legal issues that may give rise to uncertainty as
to the validity, scope and enforceability of a particular patent. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that any of the patents we have filed or other patents that third parties license to us will not be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, rendered
unenforceable, or licensed to others or that any of our pending or future patent applications will be issued with the breadth of claim coverage we seek, if issued at all.

Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in certain foreign countries. For instance, it may be difficult for us to enforce certain
of our intellectual property rights against third parties who may have inappropriately acquired interests in our intellectual property rights by filing unauthorized trademark applications in foreign countries to register our marks because of their
familiarity with our business in the United States.

Some of our proprietary intellectual property is not protected by any
patent or patent application, and, despite our precautions, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use such intellectual property without authorization. We have generally sought to protect such proprietary intellectual property in part
by confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, inventors rights agreements with strategic partners and employees, although such agreements have not been put in place in every instance. We cannot guarantee that these agreements adequately
protect our trade secrets and other intellectual property or proprietary rights. In addition, we cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that such persons or institutions
will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of these relationships. Furthermore, the steps we have taken and may take in the future may not prevent misappropriation of our solutions or technologies, particularly in respect of
officers and employees who are no longer employed by us or in foreign countries where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States.

Our failure to obtain or maintain the right to use certain intellectual property may negatively affect our business.

Our future success and competitive position depends in part upon our ability to obtain or maintain certain proprietary intellectual
property used in our principal products. This may be achieved, in part, by prosecuting claims against others who we believe are infringing our rights and by defending claims of intellectual property infringement brought by others. While we are not
currently engaged in any material intellectual property litigation, in the future we may commence lawsuits against others if we believe they have infringed our rights, or we may become subject to lawsuits alleging that we have infringed the
intellectual property rights of others. For example, to the extent that we have previously incorporated third-party technology and/or know-how into certain products for which we do not have sufficient license rights, we could incur substantial
litigation costs, be forced to pay substantial damages or royalties, or even be forced to cease sales in the event any owner of such technology or know-how were to challenge our subsequent sale of such products (and any progeny thereof). In

addition, to the extent that we discover or have discovered third-party patents that may be applicable to products or processes in development, we may need to take steps to avoid claims of
possible infringement, including obtaining non-infringement or invalidity opinions and, when necessary, re-designing or re-engineering products. However, we cannot assure you that these precautions will allow us to successfully avoid infringement
claims. Our involvement in intellectual property litigation could result in significant expense to us, adversely affect the development of sales of the challenged product or intellectual property and divert the efforts of our technical and
management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor. In the event of an adverse outcome in any such litigation, we may, among other things, be required to:



| |  |  | pay substantial damages;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | cease the development, manufacture, use, sale or importation of products that infringe upon other patented intellectual property;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | discontinue processes incorporating infringing technology; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | obtain licenses to the infringing intellectual property.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------

We cannot assure you that we would be successful in any such development or acquisition or that any such licenses would be available upon reasonable terms, if at all. Any such development, acquisition or
license could require the expenditure of substantial time and other resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business could suffer if we fail to attract and maintain key personnel.

Our future depends, in part, on our ability to attract and retain key personnel, including engineers, technicians, machinists and
management personnel. For example, our research and development efforts depend on hiring and retaining qualified engineers. Competition for highly skilled engineers is extremely intense, and we may experience difficulty in identifying and hiring
qualified engineers in many areas of our business. Our future also depends on the continued contributions of our executive officers and other key management and technical personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. We do not maintain a
key person life insurance policy on our chairman of the board, our chief executive officer, or our chief financial officer. The loss of the services of one or more of our senior executive officers or key personnel, or the inability to continue to
attract qualified personnel, could delay product development cycles or otherwise materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our insurance may not be sufficient.

We carry insurance that we consider
adequate in regard to the nature of the covered risks and the costs of coverage. We are not fully insured against all possible risks, nor are all such risks insurable.

Changes in environmental policies could hurt the market for our products and our renewable energy projects.

The market for plug-in electric hybrid, fuel cell, hybrid and other forms of alternative fuel vehicles and equipment and the demand for our products are driven, to a significant degree, by local, state
and federal regulations that relate to air quality, greenhouse gases and pollutants, and that require the purchase of motor vehicles and equipment operating on alternative fuels or fuel cells. Similarly, foreign governmental regulations also affect
our international business. These laws and regulations may change, which could result in transportation or equipment manufacturers abandoning or delaying their interest in alternative fuel and fuel cell powered vehicles or equipment. In addition, a
failure by authorities to enforce current domestic and foreign laws or to adopt additional environmental laws could limit the demand for our products.

##### Table of Contents

Although many governments have identified as a significant priority the development of
alternative energy sources, and fuel cells in particular, we cannot assure you that governments will not change their priorities or that any change they make would not materially affect our revenue or the development of our products.

Our renewable energy projects are also subject to a number of environmental laws, rules and policies related to noise, air, water,
wildlife and other aspects of the environment and the surrounding habitat which must be adhered to in order to obtain the permits necessary to develop, construct and operate the projects. Any change in such laws, rules and policies could result in
significant cost-overruns and delays or termination of such projects.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over
financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, and current and potential stockholders may lose confidence in our financial reporting.

We are required by the SEC to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We are likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material
weaknesses in those internal controls.

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2009, we reported
that we had a material weakness over the accounting for and disclosure of derivatives associated with debt and warrant instruments because we lacked the technical expertise and did not maintain adequate procedures to ensure that the accounting for
derivative financial instruments was appropriate under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Procedures related to identifying derivative instruments and disclosing derivative instruments at April 30, 2009 did not operate
properly and this material weakness resulted in a restatement of our prior financial statements. Since April 30, 2009, we developed and implemented a remediation plan to address the identified material weakness as follows: (i) we increased
our technical expertise of GAAP associated with accounting for derivative instruments and (ii) we enhanced internal procedures to better identify derivative financial instruments.

Although we believe that these efforts have strengthened our internal control over financial reporting and address the concern that gave
rise to the material weakness as of April 30, 2009, we cannot be certain that our expanded knowledge and revised internal control practices will ensure that we maintain adequate internal control over our financial reporting in future periods.
Any failure to maintain such internal controls could adversely impact our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our
operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis as required by the SEC and NASDAQ, we could face severe consequences from those authorities. In either case, there could result a material adverse affect on our
business. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

Provisions of Delaware law and of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may make a takeover or change in control more difficult.

Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, and of Delaware corporate law, may make it difficult and expensive for a third
party to pursue a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that our management and board of directors oppose. Public stockholders that might desire to participate in one of these transactions may not have an opportunity to do so. Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for the following:



| |  |  | a staggered board of directors, which makes it difficult for stockholders to change the composition of the board of directors in any one year;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the exclusive right of the board of directors to change the number of directors and fill vacancies on the board of directors, which could make it more
difficult for a third party to obtain control of the board of directors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | authorizing the issuance of preferred stock which can be created and issued by the board of directors without prior stockholder approval, commonly
referred to as blank check preferred stock, with rights senior to those of our common stock, which could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to obtain voting control of us;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | advance notice requirements for director nominations or other proposals at stockholder meetings;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, which could delay a third party from pursuing an acquisition; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requiring the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock to amend certain provisions in our Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws, and requiring the affirmative vote of 80% of our outstanding voting stock to amend certain other provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which could make it more difficult for a third party to remove the
provisions we have included to prevent or delay a change of control.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These anti-takeover provisions could
substantially impede the ability of public stockholders to benefit from a change in control or to change our management and the board of directors.

We believe our facilities are presently adequate for our current core product manufacturing
operations and OEM development programs and production; however, our existing facilities are currently underutilized. Specifically, our facilities in Lake Forest, California include a 60,000 light industrial building that is unoccupied and we only
utilize approximately 20% of our available space in our Irvine, California facility for our corporate offices. We anticipate that the unoccupied portions of our facilities will either be fully utilized as we expand our operations in the hybrid
vehicle and solar industries or sub-leased to third parties. If we require additional facilities, we believe we will be able to obtain suitable space on commercially reasonable terms.



|Item 3. | Legal Proceedings.
|------- | ------------------

From
time to time, we receive claims of and become subject to product liability, employment, intellectual property and other commercial litigation related to the conduct of our business. Such litigation, regardless of its merit or outcome, could be
costly and time consuming and could divert our management and other key personnel from our business operations. The uncertainty of litigation increases the risks associated with it. In connection with such litigation, we may be subject to
significant damages or equitable remedies relating to the operation of our business. Any such litigation may materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are not currently a party to any material legal proceeding.

Dividend Policy

We have not paid any dividends in the past, and we do not
anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future because we expect to retain our future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Our payment and amount of dividends, however, will be subject to
the discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other things, upon our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that may be considered relevant by our board of directors.

We did not repurchase any securities during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Item 12 of Part III of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K contains information concerning securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.

|Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
|------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction
with our consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which generally include the plans and objectives of management
for future operations, estimates or projections of future economic performance, and our current beliefs regarding revenues, profits and losses, capital resources and liquidity. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties, including those set forth under the Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Company Overview

We are a fully integrated alternative energy company and
a leader in the development and production of advanced clean propulsion systems, and renewable energy generation systems and services. We believe that we are uniquely positioned to integrate advanced fuel system, electric drive, software control
strategies and propulsion control system technologies for alternative fuel vehicles, in particular, plug-in electric hybrid, electric, fuel cell and hydrogen hybrid vehicles based on our years of experience in vehicle-level design, vehicle
electronics, system control strategies and system integration.

Our Electric Drive & Fuel Systems business segment
provides powertrain engineering, system integration, manufacturing and assembly of packaged fuel systems and propulsion control systems for vehicles and other applications including fuel cells, hybrids, plug-in hybrid electric, alternative fuels,
and hydrogen refueling stations and systems. We also design, engineer and manufacture hybrid and fuel cell vehicles. Our customer base includes automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), fleets, military and governmental agencies,
aerospace, and other strategic alliance partners.

Our portfolio of technologies and products include hybrid electric and
plug-in hybrid electric powertrain systems, advanced battery control systems, electronic vehicle control systems and software, fuel storage and fuel delivery products and control systems for use in hybrid, electric, fuel cell, and other alternative
fuel vehicles. We also design and manufacture computerized controls, regulators and automatic shut-off equipment, lightweight, high-pressure hydrogen and natural gas storage tanks using advanced composite technology and hydrogen refueling systems.

On April 16, 2010, we acquired Schneider Power Inc. (Schneider Power). Schneider Power is a licensed renewable
electricity generator based in Toronto, Canada. Schneider Power develops, builds, owns and operates wind and solar electricity generation facilities. Schneider Power has a portfolio in excess of one gigawatt (1,000 MW) of wind and solar energy
projects in various stages of development throughout North America and the Caribbean.

Financial Operations Overview

In managing our business, our management uses several financial and non-financial factors to analyze our performance. Financial factors
include forecast to actual comparisons, analysis of revenue and cost trends, project costs and analysis, backlog of customer programs, and changes in levels of working capital. Non-financial factors include assessing the extent to which current
programs are progressing in terms of timing and deliverables and the success to which our systems are interfacing with our customers vehicle applications. We also assess the degree to which we secure additional programs or new programs from
our current or new OEM customers and the level of government funding we receive for propulsion systems and storage solutions. We also evaluate the number of units shipped as part of current and new programs and evaluate the operations of our
affiliates.

Non financial factors for the Renewable Energy business segment include wind study results, land ownership
agreements, interconnections to the grid, power purchase agreements and other project metrics framing the underlying economics of a renewable energy farm.

##### Table of Contents

We expense all research and development when incurred. Research and development expense
includes both customer-funded research and development and company-sponsored research and development. Customer-funded research and development consists primarily of expenses associated with contract revenue. These expenses include application
development costs we funded under customer contracts. We will continue to require significant research and development expenditures over the next several years in order to commercialize our products for hybrid, hydrogen fuel cell and alternative
fuel applications.

We classify our business operations into three reporting segments: Electric Drive & Fuel Systems
(formerly referred to as the Fuel Systems Segment), Renewable Energy (beginning April 16, 2010) and Corporate. The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and tracks performance by the reporting segments. We evaluate performance
based on profit or loss from operations before interest and income taxes.

Electric Drive & Fuel Systems Segment

Our Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment provides hybrid drivetrain and advanced fuel system design,
powertrain engineering, electronic control and software strategies, system integration, manufacturing and assembly of propulsion systems and sub-systems for plug-in hybrid electric, hybrid electric, range extended plug-in electric, fuel cell and
other alternative fuel vehicles.

Our products, technologies and engineering services are designed to meet the growing demand
for better fuel economy, lower dependency on crude and foreign oil, and reduce harmful emissions. We supply our hybrid electric drive systems and packaged fuel systems for alternative fuel vehicles primarily to OEM customers for use by consumers and
for commercial and government fleets. We also provide our products and systems directly to commercial and utility fleets and system integrators. Since 1997, we have sold approximately 20,000 systems for alternative fuel vehicles, primarily to
General Motors.

We have completed the final stages of development of a range extended plug-in hybrid electric drive system,
which we refer to as Q-Drive. We have developed the Q-Drive for Fisker Automotive, Inc. (Fisker Automotive) for incorporation into its first production vehicle, the Fisker Karma. We plan to continuously update our drive systems for future upgrades
and design variants thereof for other vehicle models. Production of the Karma officially commenced in April 2011 and we are shipping components and software to support production builds for the Karma. Our Q-Drive system is comprised of or
provides control software for a lithium-ion battery pack, an optimized generator, traction motor(s), transmission/transaxle, inverters, DC-DC converter, hybrid controller, and software and hardware control strategies and software subsystems designed
to improve vehicle fuel economy and performance, leverage existing gas station infrastructure, and utilize home-based battery recharging.

We have also developed an F-Drive which is a parallel drive for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) pickup trucks and a 2nd Generation scaled version of the our plug-in hybrid electric
drive system that is specifically directed at lower-cost light duty vehicles, including mid-size cars and trucks, to significantly advance PHEVs and the average fuel economy in the near term.

We also design, engineer and manufacture hybrid and fuel cell concept vehicles and hydrogen refueling systems for use in aerospace and
military applications.

Our Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment generates product revenues through the sale of
hydrogen fuel storage, fuel delivery, and electronic control systems to OEMs, the installation of our systems into OEM vehicles, and the sale of transportable hydrogen refueling stations. Product revenues are also generated through the sale of
compressed natural gas (CNG), propane (LPG), and hydrogen fuel storage, fuel delivery, and electronic control systems for internal combustion engine applications.

##### Table of Contents

Our Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment also generates contract revenue by
providing engineering design and support to OEMs, primarily Fisker Automotive and General Motors, so that our advanced propulsion systems integrate and operate with the OEMs hybrid or fuel cell applications. Contract revenue is also generated
from customers in the aerospace industry, military and other governmental entities and agencies, and other strategic alliance partners.

Renewable Energy

Our Renewable Energy segment consists solely of the business operations of Schneider Power, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Schneider Power is an independent power producer, developer of renewable energy projects and provider of related development
services and is a licensed electricity generator and wholesaler. Development of renewable energy projects involves several sequential stages of completion and advancement before a project becomes operational:



| |  |  | Feasibility studies are performed to obtain sufficient data to validate the wind and/or solar energy capacity from a prospective project;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Arrangements with local landowners are entered into to obtain easements to allow for the development of an energy farm on their properties;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Applications are submitted to local utility providers to obtain approvals for grid interconnections;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Environmental assessments and feasibility studies are completed and submitted to Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments to obtain permits for
construction and commissioning; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with a utility provider or power broker are secured as a project approaches the construction and
operational stage.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wind and solar energy project returns depend mainly on the following factors: energy
prices, transmission costs, wind and solar resources, wind turbine and solar module costs, construction costs, financing cost and availability of government incentives. In applying our strategy, we take into account the combination of all of these
factors and focus on margins, return on invested capital and value creation as opposed solely to project size. Most of our projects offer attractive returns because of favorable wind and solar resources and higher energy prices. Additionally, in
many cases, smaller, more profitable projects can create as much absolute value as do larger, lower-returning projects. We assess the profitability of each project by evaluating its net present value.

An energy project may be financed with all equity or a combination of equity and debt. Due to Schneider Powers limited cash
availability and the high cost of development and construction of a project, Schneider Power has historically entered into strategic relationships to provide for project financing.

In addition to energy sales on the existing wind electricity generation facility and future wind and solar energy facilities that
Schneider Power is currently developing, this business segment anticipates generating revenues and cash flows through the sale of ownership interests in renewable energy projects and through development and construction services for renewable energy
projects owned by third parties.

In February 2011, Schneider Power sold their interest in a 22 MW wind farm that was in an
early development phase. Schneider Power received Canadian Dollar (CAD) 2.1 million in total sales proceeds in connection with the sale.

Corporate Segment

The Corporate segment consists of general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level that are not directly attributable
to the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems or Renewable Energy reporting segments.



45

##### Table of Contents

Corporate expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, share-based compensation costs and related general and administrative costs for executive, finance, legal, human resources, investor
relations and our board of directors.

Included within the Corporate segment is Quantum Solar Energy, Inc. (Quantum Solar)
based in Irvine, California which was formed for the purpose of producing and distributing mono and poly-crystalline silicon solar modules with an initial capacity of 45 MW. We currently own 85% of Quantum Solar and the remaining 15% is owned by
ConSolTec GmbH, the majority shareholder of Asola. All activities of the consolidated subsidiary are included in our Corporate segment and to date principally consist of partial payments on long lead assembly equipment under construction for solar
module production capability. Once Quantum Solar commences its manufacturing operations, we anticipate that we will report these activities under a new business segment separate from the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems, Renewable Energy and
Corporate reporting segments.

In March 2011, we finalized a low interest loan of up to $4.4 million with the California
Energy Commission (CEC) under the CECs Clean Energy Business Financing Program. Draw downs under the loan are subject to certain conditions, namely, the investment by us of a specified amount of matching funds. Any proceeds received under the
CEC loan will be utilized to assist in the purchase of manufacturing equipment for the start up of Quantum Solars module manufacturing operation.

On March 14, 2011, we amended a non-binding Letter of Intent with Asolas majority owner, ConSolTec GmbH (ConSolTec), that we originally executed on August 24, 2010, which sets forth terms
related to a proposed transaction pursuant to which we and ConSolTec would establish a newly formed holding company, with us as the controlling equity holder, to create a solar panel manufacturing, distribution and sales entity to service global
markets (the Asola LOI). The assets of the new entity would include Asola and Quantum Solar as wholly-owned subsidiaries. Under the proposed terms of the Asola LOI, the transaction is contingent upon several conditions including our
ability to raise a certain level of capital in order to provide compensation to ConSolTec and to provide sufficient equity capital to the new entity to enable the entitys expansion into additional global markets. The Asola LOI, as amended,
contemplated a transaction completion date of June 30, 2011; however, since that date was not met, we are currently seeking an extension of the arrangement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of
our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and are included elsewhere in this report. We
believe that the application of certain critical accounting policies, which are important to our financial position and results of operations, require significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. We evaluate our estimates on an
ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:



| |  |  | it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial
condition.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies
and estimates with the audit committee of our board of directors, and the audit committee has reviewed the disclosure presented below relating to them. We believe the critical accounting policies described below affect the more significant judgments
and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:



| |  |  | We generally manufacture products based on specific orders from customers. Revenue is recognized on product sales upon shipment or when the earnings
process is complete and collectibility is reasonably

| | assured. We include the costs of shipping and handling, when incurred, in cost of goods sold. In certain circumstances, customers pay one price for multiple products and services. For
arrangements with multiple deliverables, revenue is recognized upon the delivery of the separate units based on their relative selling prices. Consideration from multiple element arrangements is allocated among the separate elements based on their
relative fair values in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We generally recognize revenue and profit as work progresses on long-term, fixed price contracts for product application development using the
percentage-of-completion method. Generally, we estimate percentage complete by determining cost incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated cost at completion. For certain other contracts, percentage complete is determined by measuring
progress towards contract deliverables if it is determined that this methodology more closely tracks the realization of the earnings process. For contracts measured under the estimated cost approach, we believe we can generally make dependable
estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to various stages of a contract. Recognized revenue and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. Our estimates of contract costs are based on expectations of engineering
development time and materials and other support costs. These estimates can change based on unforeseen technology and integration issues, but known risk factors and contract challenges are generally allowed for in the initial scope and cost estimate
of the program. Our historical final contract costs have usually approximated the initial estimates and any unforeseen changes in the estimates have not normally resulted in a material impact to financial results. Revisions in profit estimates are
charged to income in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. For energy sales, we recognize revenues based on the terms of a power purchase agreement which outlines long-term pricing and escalation for the power
produced by the renewable energy farm.

| |  |  | We conduct a major portion of our business with a limited number of customers. For fiscal 2011 and for the foreseeable future, Fisker Automotive has
represented and is expected to continue to represent, a significant portion of our revenues and accounts receivables. Credit is extended based upon an evaluation of each customers financial condition, with terms consistent with those present
throughout the industry. Typically, we do not require collateral from customers. We have recorded an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on past experience and certain circumstances surrounding the composition of total accounts
receivable. To the extent we increase this allowance, we must include an expense in the statement of operations. If commercial conditions differ from managements estimates, an additional write-off may be required.

| |  |  | We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized based on past experience and expectations of future costs to
be incurred. Our Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment provides product warranties in certain circumstances depending on the platform and model year. For prototype components and systems that are not production intent, warranties are
generally not provided. While we engage in product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and
service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

| |  |  | We write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the
estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. As part of our estimate, we rely upon future planned design configurations and projected alternative usage of certain components estimated by our engineering
teams. We also consider estimated demand for service and warranty parts based on historical information. If actual usage rates or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be
required.

| |  |  | We account for our ownership interests in Asola, PCD and Shigan Quantum under the equity method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) Topic No. 323 InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (ASC 323) as a result of our ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of these affiliates. Under ASC 323,
investments of this nature are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize our proportionate share of the entitys net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment accounted for under
the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not recorded. We resume accounting for the investment under the equity method when the entity subsequently reports net income and our
share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. We account for our ownership interest in Fisker Automotive under the cost method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic
No. 325-20 Cost Method Investments (ASC 325-20). Under ASC 325-20, investments of this nature are initially recorded at cost. Income is recorded for dividends received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the
investee subsequent to the date of investment. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions in the cost of the investment. Investments are written
down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred. Our foreign based affiliates have functional currencies other than the US Dollar. As such, translation adjustments may result from the process
of translating our affiliates financial statements from their functional currency to US Dollars, which we account for in accordance with ASC Topic No. 830 Foreign Currency Matters.

| |  |  | We periodically evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment, particularly intangible assets and goodwill relating to acquisitions. Goodwill is not
amortized, but is evaluated periodically for any impairment in the carrying value. We review our long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, construction in process, intangible assets and goodwill, for impairment on an annual basis or
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, the following: significant
underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; significant negative industry or economic trends;
and a significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period. Goodwill and long-lived asset impairment assessments are generally determined based on fair value techniques, including determining the estimated future discounted and undiscounted
cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset. Those models require estimates of future revenue, profits, capital expenditures and working capital for each reporting unit. We estimate these amounts by evaluating historical trends, the
current state of the automotive industry and the economy, current budgets, and operating plans. Discounted cash flows are calculated using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business
model. Determining the fair value of reporting units and goodwill includes significant judgment by management and different judgments could yield different results. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material impact on our financial
condition and results of operations.

| |  |  | We account for provisions contained within certain of our warrant contracts and the written put option contained within the Lender Commitment as
derivative instrument liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The share price of our common stock represents the underlying variable that gives rise to the value of the derivative
instruments. Additional factors include the volatility of our stock price, our credit rating, discount rates, and stated interest rates. In accordance with ASC 815, the derivative instrument liabilities are recorded at fair value and marked to
market each period. Changes in fair value of the derivatives each period resulting from a movement in the share price of our common stock or the passage of time are recognized as fair value adjustments of derivative instruments on our consolidated
statements of operations as other income or expense. The fair value adjustments can have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

| |  |  | We evaluate whether modifications to and restructuring of existing debt instruments result in substantial changes as defined by ASC Topic No. 470,
Debt (ASC 470). Significant management judgment is required and we use the assistance of independent valuation consultants to estimate the fair value of the original and amended debt instruments as part of our evaluation. Different
judgments could yield different results. If we determine that a substantial change has occurred with respect to the modifications, we treat the transaction as an extinguishment of the original debt and recognize a gain or loss on the debt
retirement. If we determine that our senior lender has for economic or legal reasons related to our financial condition, granted us a concession that our senior lender would not otherwise consider, we treat the modifications as a troubled debt
restructuring and analyze whether a gain should be recorded in connection with the concession.

| |  |  | We account for stock compensation expense under ASC Topic No. 718 CompensationStock Compensation (ASC 718). ASC 718 requires all
share-based payments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock, to be recognized in our financial statements based on their respective grant date fair values. Under this standard, the fair value of each employee stock option is
estimated on the date of grant using an option-pricing model that meets certain requirements. We currently use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of our share-based payments. The Black-Scholes model meets the
requirements of ASC 718 but the fair values generated by the model may not be indicative of the actual fair values of our share-based awards as it does not consider certain factors important to share-based awards, such as continued employment,
periodic vesting requirements and limited transferability. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility,
expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. We estimate the expected volatility and estimated life of our stock options at grant date based on historical data trended into the future. The risk-free interest rate assumption is the
Constant Maturity Treasury rate on government securities with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts. The fair value of our restricted
stock is based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation expense recognized in our financial statements is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The amount of share-based compensation
expense is reduced for estimated forfeitures based on historical experience. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We
evaluate the assumptions used to value stock-based awards on a quarterly basis. If factors change and we employ different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the past. If there are any
modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned share-based compensation expense. To the extent that we grant additional equity securities to employees
or we assume unvested securities in connection with any acquisitions, our share-based compensation expense will be increased by the additional unearned compensation resulting from those additional grants or acquisitions.

| |  |  | As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in
which we operate. This process involves the estimation of our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. Included in this assessment is the
determination of the net operating loss carry-forward that has resulted from our cumulative net operating loss. These temporary differences result in an overall net deferred tax asset or liability position. We must assess the likelihood that our
deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent that we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or change this allowance in a
period, we generally include an expense or benefit within the tax provision in the consolidated statement of operations. Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax liabilities and our
deferred tax assets, including any valuation allowance

| | recorded against our deferred tax assets. We have recorded a partial valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets due to uncertainties related to our ability to fully utilize these assets,
primarily consisting of net operating losses and credits that may be carried forward before they expire, and that are subject to certain limitations. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future
periods, we may need to adjust the recorded valuation allowance, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.

Electric Drive & Fuel Systems Segment

Overall segment revenues increased $10.0 million, from $9.6 million in fiscal 2010 to $19.6 million in fiscal 2011. The increase in
revenue in fiscal 2011 is primarily related to increased activities related to the Fisker Karma development program and initial product shipments to Fisker Automotive.

Fisker Automotive comprised 46% and 56%, General Motors comprised 12% and 13%, and U.S. ArmyTARDEC comprised 11% and 1%, of the total Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment revenue
reported for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. For fiscal 2012 and for the foreseeable

##### Table of Contents

future, we anticipate that Fisker Automotive will continue to represent a significant portion of our overall Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment revenues as we continue to ship
components to and provide development services for Fisker Automotive.

Product revenue for the Electric Drive & Fuel
Systems segment increased $2.8 million, or 200%, from $1.4 million in fiscal 2010 to $4.2 million in fiscal 2011, due in part to the initial product shipments of our Q-Drive hybrid drive system for the Fisker Karma and increased shipments of
high pressure fuel storage tanks for CNG applications. We expect product revenue to increase in fiscal 2012 due to Fisker Automotives anticipated increase in production of the Fisker Karma in the second half of calendar 2011 and the launch of
our F-150 PHEV program.

Contract revenue for the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment increased $7.2 million, or
88%, from $8.2 million in fiscal 2010, to $15.4 million in fiscal 2011. Contract revenue is derived primarily from system development and application engineering of our products under customer funded contracts.

Cost of product sales for the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment increased $2.0 million, or 125%, from $1.6 million in fiscal
2010, to $3.6 million in fiscal 2011, primarily as a result of increased product sales.

Gross profits on product sales for
fiscal 2011 improved $0.7 million, from a negative $0.1 million in fiscal 2010, to a positive $0.6 million in fiscal 2011. The improved gross margins are primarily due to higher revenues realized in fiscal 2011 that absorbed a fixed level of
manufacturing overhead costs. We expect to realize improvement in our gross margins for fiscal 2012 as we anticipate increased shipments of Q-Drivecomponents to Fisker Automotive.

Research and development expense associated with development contracts increased $5.1 million, or 76%, from $6.7 million in fiscal
2010, to $11.8 million in fiscal 2011, which was mainly due to higher development program and pre-production activities in the current fiscal year related to the planned launch of the Fisker Karma.

Internally funded research and development expense for the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment decreased $1.0 million, or 15%,
from $6.7 million in fiscal 2010, to $5.7 million in fiscal 2011. Our internally funded research effort includes hybrid control strategies and proprietary software designed to precisely control hybrid propulsion and vehicle performance and hydrogen
storage, injection and regulation programs. The decrease in internally funded research and development is mainly due to focusing our engineering resources on activities associated with the Fisker Karma program and other customer funded development
contracts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment decreased $0.4
million, or 9%, from $4.6 million in fiscal 2010, to $4.2 million in fiscal 2011, due in part to lower facility costs.

Amortization and impairment of long-lived assets was $0.9 million in fiscal 2010 and zero in fiscal 2011. The amount recognized in fiscal
2010 related to a charge associated with the full impairment of our advances made to Advanced Lithium Power, Inc. (ALP), a former affiliate. In June 2010, certain secured creditors of ALP had a receiver appointed pursuant to the terms of a General
Security Agreement and, as a result, ALP ceased operations. We recorded an impairment charge to write off the entire balance in fiscal 2010 of the non-current advances provided to ALP that were associated with undelivered products and services still
owed to us.

Operating loss for the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment improved $5.2 million, from a loss of $10.9
million in fiscal 2010, to a loss of $5.7 million in fiscal 2011, mainly as a result of higher revenues generated in the current year. We expect the operating loss to continue to improve in fiscal 2012 as a result of anticipated higher revenues
related to the Fisker Karma program and the launch of our PHEV F-150 program.

Renewable Energy Segment

Our results of operations include the activities of Schneider Power for the period of time subsequent to our acquisition of Schneider
Power on April 16, 2010. Schneider Power recognized $0.3 million of revenue from energy sales related to its Providence Bay wind farm that is reported as part of net product revenues, $0.4 million of revenue from construction management
contract services and $3.5 million of operating expenses during fiscal 2011. Included in operating costs in fiscal 2011 was a $1.0 million impairment charge due to the abandonment of the Spring Bay wind farm construction project in early calendar
2011, and $0.4 million of amortization expense relating to intangible assets associated with the renewable energy project portfolio identified in connection with the acquisition of Schneider Power.

Schneider Powers operating loss was $2.9 million for the twelve months of fiscal 2011, as compared to an operating loss of $0.1
million recognized in fiscal 2010 for the period from April 17, 2010 to April 30, 2010.

We expect Schneider
Powers operating activities to increase in fiscal 2012 if we are able to obtain sufficient project debt and equity financing to enable continued development and construction of Schneider Powers portfolio of wind and solar farm projects.

Corporate Segment

Corporate expenses decreased $0.3 million in fiscal 2011, from $9.5 million in fiscal 2010 to $9.2 million in fiscal 2011, due in part to significantly higher than usual levels of professional
service fees incurred in fiscal 2010 in connection with our acquisition of Schneider Power and other administrative expenses. Corporate expenses reported for this segment reflect the general and administrative expenses that indirectly support our
ongoing Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment, our Renewable Energy segment, and any future operating segments. Corporate expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, share-based compensation costs and related general and administrative
costs for executives, finance, legal, human resources, investor relations and our board of directors. Corporate expenses as a percentage of total consolidated revenues decreased to 46% for fiscal 2011, as compared to 99% for fiscal 2010, primarily
due to higher revenues and lower costs realized in fiscal 2011. We expect Corporate expenses as a percentage of total consolidated revenues to further improve in fiscal 2012 as we anticipate that our consolidated revenues in fiscal 2012 will be
proportionately higher than the increase in Corporate expenses over the next twelve months.

Non-Reporting Segment Results

Interest Expense.Interest expense, net of interest income, amounted to $3.4 million in fiscal 2011, as compared to
$2.4 million recognized in fiscal 2010. Interest expense primarily relates to debt instruments payable to our senior lender. The increase in expense during fiscal 2011 is primarily related to higher effective interest rates incurred associated with
the investor bridge term loans that were issued in October 2010 and the amortization of debt origination costs associated with new and amended debt instruments in fiscal 2011.

Fair Value Adjustments of Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments at April 30, 2011, consisted of certain warrant contracts referred to in our financial statements as the October 2006
Warrants, the June 2007 Warrants, the August 2008 Warrants, the August 2009 Warrants, the September 2009 Warrants, and the B warrants issued on February 18, 2011. There was also derivative instruments associated with the embedded
conversion features under the bridge notes modified in January 2011 that expired upon the maturity of the bridge notes on April 29, 2011 and a derivative instrument associated with the senior lenders written put option under a $10.0
million lender commitment that was in effect during fiscal 2011 until the commitment was terminated in connection with the execution of a Forbearance Agreement and restructuring of debt with our senior lender that occurred on January 3, 2011.
Fair value adjustments of derivative instruments, which represent non-cash unrealized gains or losses, amounted to a gain of $13.2 million in fiscal 2011, compared to a loss of $10.6 million in fiscal 2010. The share price of our common stock
represents the primary underlying variable that impacts the value of the derivative instruments. Additional factors that impact the value of the derivative instruments include

the volatility of our stock price, our credit rating, and discount rates. The unrealized gain recognized in fiscal 2011 was primarily attributable to the decrease in our share price over the
course of fiscal 2011 ($14.00 at April 30, 2010 and $2.58 at April 30, 2011) that materially decreased the fair value of the derivative instrument liabilities during the fiscal year. Due to the volatile nature of our share price, we expect
that we will continue to recognize gains or losses on our derivative instruments each period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

Loss on Modification of Debt and Derivative Instruments.We recognized losses on contractual modifications of our debt and derivative instruments issued to our senior lender amounting to $14.7
million in fiscal 2010 and $1.5 million in fiscal 2011. These contractual modifications, discussed further in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, are as follows:



| |  |  | On July 10, 2009, we (i) modified the derivative feature embedded within Convertible Note I, (ii) replaced an existing term note (Term
Note A) with a new convertible instrument (Convertible Note II), (iii) issued a new convertible instrument (Convertible Note III) in exchange for cash proceeds of $3.0 million, and (iv) modified Term Note B. These modifications and
exchanges resulted in an immediate charge of $7.0 million in connection with the transactions.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On August 3, 2009, we modified the $10.0 million lender commitment to establish a fixed conversion price should the lender exercise its written
put option and elect to make the investment in the form of a convertible note. Prior to the modification, the convertible note conversion price was variable. The fixed conversion price modification resulted in an immediate charge of $2.6 million.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On November 24, 2009, we recognized a total charge of $5.1 million as a result of a series of transactions with our senior lender that was
accounted for as an implied exchange of debt instrument. The significant components of the charge were as follows: (i) $1.3 million resulting from amending the stated maturity dates on the three convertible notes held by our senior lender from
August 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 (which immediately increased the fair values of these debt instruments over their existing carrying values by $1.3 million); (ii) $0.4 million from amending the expiration date of the $10.0 million
lender commitment from August 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011; and (iii) $3.5 million from the issuance of a new debt instrument (which we refer to in our SEC filings and financial statements as the Consent Fee Term Note) to
our senior lender in satisfaction of a fee we agreed to pay our senior lender in order to obtain the senior lenders consent, as required by our credit agreement, in connection with our acquisition of Schneider Power.

| |  |  | On January 3, 2011, we and our senior lender executed a Forbearance Agreement and restructured certain of our debt instruments. In connection with
the debt restructure, the three convertible notes held by our senior lender were modified to extend the maturity dates from July 31, 2011 to August 31, 2011, and the fixed conversion price in each convertible note was reduced from $14.20
to $9.80; the $10 million lender commitment was terminated; the senior lender provided us with a new $5.0 million non-revolving line of credit; and we issued a warrant to the senior lender entitling it to purchase up to 277,777 shares of our common
stock at a fixed exercise price of $9.00 per share. We concluded that the modifications to the convertible note debt instruments were substantial and represented an implied exchange of those debt instruments for new debt instruments. A net loss of
$0.5 million on extinguishment of the convertible note debt instruments and the derivative instrument associated with the $10 million lender commitment was recognized in connection with the debt restructure.

| |  |  | On January 18, 2011, we and each of the holders of the bridge notes that we issued in October 2010 (2010 Bridge Notes) entered into an agreement
pursuant to which the principal and interest repayment terms and the maturity date of the 2010 Bridge Notes were amended and we issued warrants to the holders of the 2010 Bridge Notes entitling them to purchase up to 131,902 shares of our common
stock at a fixed exercise price of $9.20. We concluded that the modifications to the 2010 Bridge Notes were substantial and represented an implied exchange of the existing 2010 Bridge Notes for new 2010 Bridge Notes. A net loss on extinguishment of
$1.0 million was recognized as a result of the implied exchange.

Loss on Settlement of Debt and Derivative Instruments.During fiscal 2010 and 2011,
we settled a total of $20.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of principal due under our debt obligations, and in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011, we also extinguished $10.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of derivative liabilities
associated with certain of our debt obligations owed to our senior lender, by the issuance of shares of our common stock. As a result of these in-kind settlements and related extinguishments, we recognized a gain of $0.8 million in fiscal 2010 and a
loss of $1.5 million in fiscal 2011. Included in the loss for fiscal 2011 was a charge of $1.6 million associated with the cancellation of $2.0 million of principal due under a non-revolving line of credit with the senior lender in exchange for the
issuance of shares of our common stock and warrants in connection with a private placement offering in which the senior lender participated as an investor that closed on February 18, 2011.

Equity in Earnings of Affiliates. During fiscal year 2011, we recognized losses of $0.3 million, representing the net equity in
earnings (losses) of our affiliates that we account for under the equity method of accounting. The loss in fiscal 2011 is primarily associated with the operating results of Asola, of which we recognized a loss of $0.2 million (see table below) and
the operating results of Shigan Quantum and PCD. In fiscal 2010, we recognized net earnings of $1.1 million, primarily representing our equity share in earnings of Asola.

Our equity in net losses of Asola of $0.2 million for fiscal 2011 differs from the 24.9% of $1.3 million in net income of Asola that was reported for the twelve months ended April 30, 2011 under
German GAAP. This difference is due to adjustments to equity in net earnings (losses) related to differences between German GAAP and US GAAP. Such differences are adjusted for in calculating our equity in losses under US GAAP for fiscal 2011 as
follows:

Our ownership in Fisker Automotive was also accounted for under the equity method from inception of the
business through August 2010; however, we did not recognize any share of losses realized by Fisker Automotive through August 2010 as our net investment balance in the business at all times had been zero and we had no obligation to fund deficit
balances of the business. Effective as of September 2010, we now account for our ownership share in Fisker Automotive under the cost method.

Income Taxes. In fiscal 2011, we recorded a net tax benefit of $0.2 million that primarily resulted from undistributed earnings of our investment in Asola associated with foreign currency
translation effects. As a result of our historical losses, we have generated significant net operating losses that we can carry forward to offset taxable earnings that we generate in the future. We expect that income taxes will be minor in fiscal
2012.

Electric Drive & Fuel Systems Segment

Overall segment revenues decreased $13.7 million, from $23.3 million in fiscal 2009 to $9.6 million in fiscal 2010. The decrease in
revenue in fiscal 2010 is primarily related to delays at Fisker Automotive related to the Fisker Karma development program.

Fisker Automotive comprised 59% and 46%, General Motors comprised 13% and 12%, and U.S. ArmyTARDEC comprised 13% and 11%, of
the total Fuel Systems segment revenue reported for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Product revenue for the Fuel Systems segment increased $0.4 million, or 40%, from $1.0 million in fiscal 2009 to $1.4 million in fiscal
2010.

Contract revenue for the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment decreased $14.1 million, or 63%, from $22.3
million in fiscal 2009 to $8.2 million in fiscal 2010. Contract revenue is derived primarily from system development and application engineering of our products under funded Fisker Automotive contracts, OEM contracts, and other funded contract work
with the U.S. military and other government agencies. We began the third phase of the Fisker Karma development program in April 2009, which included services related to system validation, certification and other pre-production development
activities. The significant decline in contract revenue in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 was primarily due to program delays at Fisker Automotive due to their funding restraints. In September 2009, Fisker Automotive announced that they had
received a conditional commitment from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for $528.0 million in low interest loans. However, the loan was not finalized and Fisker Automotive was unable to draw upon the loan until the spring of 2010. As a result,
Fisker Automotive suspended much of its activities related to the Fisker Karma program including many of the activities covered under the phase three statement of work.

##### Table of Contents

Cost of product sales for the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment decreased $0.7
million, or 30%, from $2.3 million in fiscal 2009 to $1.6 million in fiscal 2010. This improvement was mainly due to lower levels of obsolescence inventory reserves in fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009. During fiscal 2009, we recognized higher
than usual charges for inventory reserves in connection with the deterioration of the automotive industry and reduced turnover of our inventory of automotive component parts.

Gross profits on product sales for the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment improved $1.2 million from a negative $1.3 million in fiscal 2009 to a negative $0.1 million in fiscal 2010. The
negative gross margins were primarily due to unabsorbed manufacturing overhead costs.

Research and development expense
associated with development contracts decreased $10.2 million, or 60%, from $16.9 million in fiscal 2009 to $6.7 million in fiscal 2010. The decrease is primarily related to decreased levels of design and engineering services performed in
connection with the Fisker Automotive Karma program during fiscal 2010 as a result of the program delays at Fisker Automotive.

Internally funded research and development expense for the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment decreased $1.6 million, or 19%,
from $8.3 million in fiscal 2009 to $6.7 million fiscal 2010. Our internally funded research effort shifted away from hydrogen storage, injection and regulation programs in fiscal 2010 and was more focused on solid-state components, hybrid control
strategies and proprietary software designed to precisely control hybrid propulsion and vehicle performance. The reduction in fiscal 2010 was primarily due to personnel related cost reductions implemented during fiscal year 2010.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment increased $1.4 million, from
$3.2 million in fiscal 2009 to $4.6 million in fiscal 2010. The increase during fiscal 2010 primarily related to a $1.2 million non-recurring gain that was recognized during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 related to an insurance settlement
associated with facility damages.

Amortization and impairment of long-lived assets in fiscal 2009 related to our strategic
alliance agreement with General Motors in the amount of $7.0 million. On January 31, 2009, the remaining unamortized balance of the intangible asset was written off in connection with an impairment analysis performed due to the
deterioration of the automobile industry. As a result of the impairment, there has been no amortization expense recognized in this segment since January 31, 2009. In fiscal 2010, we recognized a charge of $0.9 million associated with the full
impairment of our advances made to ALP. In June 2010, certain secured creditors of ALP had a receiver appointed pursuant to the terms of a General Security Agreement between ALP and such secured creditors and as a result, ALP ceased operations. As a
result, we recorded a charge to write off the entire balance of advances provided to ALP that were associated with undelivered products and services still owed to us.

Operating loss for the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment decreased $3.5 million, from $14.4 million in fiscal 2009 to $10.9 million in fiscal 2010. The decrease in operating loss was
primarily due to the amortization and impairment of the remaining unamortized intangible asset associated with General Motors that was written off in fiscal 2009, which amounted to charges of $7.0 million incurred in fiscal 2009 and none in fiscal
2010. Excluding the effects of the amortization and impairment charges related to long-lived assets associated with General Motors in fiscal 2009 and ALP in fiscal 2010, the operating loss would have increased $2.6 million during fiscal 2010 which
is attributable to the lower revenues generated in fiscal 2010.

Renewable Energy Segment

Our results of operations for fiscal 2010 included the activities of our wholly owned subsidiary, Schneider Power, for the period of time
subsequent to our acquisition (April 17, 2010 through April 30, 2010). During that two week period, Schneider Power recognized $15 thousand of revenue from energy sales related to its Providence Bay Wind Farm and recognized operating expenses
of $0.1 million.

Corporate Segment

Corporate expenses decreased $1.2 million in fiscal 2010 from $10.7 million in fiscal 2009 to $9.5 million in fiscal 2010. Corporate expenses reported for this segment reflect the general and
administrative expenses that indirectly support our ongoing Electric Drive & Fuel Systems operating segment, our Renewable Energy segment and any future operating segments. Corporate expenses consist primarily of personnel costs,
share-based compensation costs and related general and administrative costs for executive, finance, legal, human resources, investor relations and our board of directors. Corporate expenses as a percentage of total consolidated revenues increased to
99% in fiscal 2010 as compared to 46% in fiscal 2009, primarily due to lower revenues generated in fiscal 2010.

Non-Reporting Segment
Results

Interest Expense.Interest expense, net of interest income, amounted to $2.4 million in fiscal 2010 as
compared to $3.7 million recognized in fiscal 2009. Interest expense primarily related to debt instruments payable to our senior lender. The decline in expense during fiscal 2010 was primarily related to lower levels of outstanding debt.

Fair Value Adjustments of Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments consisted of embedded features contained within our
convertible notes, our Term Note B debt instrument, our Consent Fee Term Note, the written put option under the $10.0 million Lender Commitment, and warrant contracts referred to in our financial statements as the October 2006 Warrants, the June
2007 Warrants, the August 2008 Warrants, the August 2009 Warrants and the September 2009 Warrants. Fair value adjustments of derivative instruments, which represent non-cash unrealized gains or losses, amounted to a loss of $10.6 million in
fiscal 2010, compared to a gain of $27.7 million in fiscal 2009. The share price of our common stock represents the primary underlying variable that impacts the value of the derivative instruments. Additional factors that impact the value of the
derivative instruments include the volatility of our stock price, our credit rating, discount rates, and stated interest rates. The unrealized gain recognized in fiscal 2009 was primarily attributable to the significant decrease in our share price
over the course of fiscal 2009 ($26.40 at April 30, 2008 and $14.40 at April 30, 2009) that materially decreased the fair value of the derivative instrument liabilities year over year. The unrealized loss recognized in fiscal 2010 resulted
in part from higher volatility rates of our share price at the end of fiscal 2010 as compared to the end of fiscal 2009 that has the effect, all other factors being equal, of increasing the value of the derivative instrument liabilities, and in part
to the timing of certain debt conversions and debt principal demands on behalf of the senior lender near the midpoint of fiscal 2010 when our share price was higher ($23.80 at October 31, 2009) than our share price at the end of fiscal 2010
($14.00 at April 30, 2010) which negated a portion of the offsetting effects of a lower share price at the end of the fiscal year with respect to the fair value calculations.

Loss on Modification of Debt and Derivative Instruments.We recognized losses on contractual modifications of our debt and
derivative instruments issued to our senior lender amounting to $23.8 million in fiscal 2009 and $14.7 million in fiscal 2010, respectively. These contractual modifications, discussed further in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, are
as follows:



| |  |  | On May 30, 2008, certain modifications to the embedded derivative feature contained within Term Note B immediately increased the fair value of the
derivative instrument by $23.8 million.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On July 10, 2009, the derivative features embedded within our existing and two new convertible note instruments issued on this date increased in
fair value by $7.0 million as a result of certain modifications that included setting the fixed conversion price on the debt to $14.20 per share and pushing out the stated maturity dates on the outstanding balances.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On August 3, 2009, we modified the $10.0 million Lender Commitment by fixing the conversion price under the convertible note structure available
to the senior lender under its written put option that previously had been a price that would equal the market price on the date the senior lender exercised the put option. This modification to set a fixed conversion price of $14.20 per share prior
to the exercise of the senior lenders put option resulted in an immediate charge of $2.6 million.

| |  |  | On November 24, 2009, we recognized a combined charge of $5.1 million from the implied exchange of debt instruments in connection with obtaining
our senior lenders consent of the proposed Schneider Power acquisition and for amendments to certain of the outstanding debt instruments with the senior lender. The significant components of the charge were as follows : (i) amended the
stated maturity dates on our three convertible notes from August 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 (which immediately increased the fair values of these debt instruments over their existing carrying values by $1.3 million); (ii) extended the
expiration date of the $10.0 million Lender Commitment from August 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 (which immediately increased the fair value of the senior lenders put option by $0.4 million); and (iii) issued a new debt instrument
in satisfaction of a fee negotiated with our senior lender to obtain the senior lenders consent (the Consent Fee Term Note), as required by our credit facilities, in connection with the planned acquisition of Schneider Power that
had a fair value of $3.5 million.

Loss on Settlement of Debt and Derivative Instruments.During
fiscal 2009 and 2010 we settled a total of $10.2 million and $20.5 million of debt principal and extinguished $4.2 million and $10.5 million of derivative liabilities associated with our debt instruments with the issuance of shares of our common
stock. As a result of these settlements and related extinguishments, we recognized a net loss of $4.3 million in fiscal 2009 and a gain of $0.8 million in fiscal 2010 that are described in more detail below:



| |  |  | During fiscal 2009, $10.2 million of principal was converted at the option of the holder under Convertible Note I on various dates throughout the
period which we satisfied with the issuance of shares to the senior lender. The fair value of the embedded derivative instruments associated with the convertible notes was reduced on a proportional basis to the amount of debt principal converted by
the holder. For example, if 10% of the outstanding debt principal just prior to the conversion was converted, we reduced the fair value of the derivative instrument on the conversion date by 10%. In connection with shares issued to settle debt
principal conversions during fiscal 2009, the derivative instrument associated with Convertible Note I was reduced by $4.2 million and a net loss on the settlement of the debt principal and derivative instruments of $4.3 million, which represented
the difference between the fair value of shares issued ($18.7 million) and the settlement of the liabilities ($10.2 million of debt principal and $4.2 million of derivative instruments), was recognized.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During fiscal 2009, $0.5 million of the derivative instrument liabilities associated with the October 2006 Warrants were extinguished in connection
with the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. The difference between the fair value of the shares issued of $0.4 million (net of the cash received upon exercise of the warrants) and the amount of derivative liabilities
extinguished resulted in the recognition of a gain of $0.1 million on the settlement of these derivative warrant liabilities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During fiscal 2010, $6.9 million of principal was converted at the option of the holder under three convertible notes ($0.51 million, $1.03 million and
$1.37 million under Convertible Note I on September 23, 2009, October 13, 2009 and November 24, 2009, respectively; $2.72 million under Convertible Note II on November 24, 2009, and $1.23 million under Convertible Note
III on November 24, 2009) which we satisfied with the issuance of common shares to the senior lender. In connection with shares issued to settle debt principal conversions during fiscal 2010, the derivative instruments associated with the three
convertible notes were reduced by $6.9 million and a net gain on the settlement of the debt principal and derivative instruments of $1.4 million, which represented the difference between the fair value of shares issued ($12.4 million) and the
settlement of the liabilities ($6.9 million of debt principal and $6.9 million of derivative instruments), was recognized.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During fiscal 2010, $4.4 million of principal was repaid under Term Note B ($3.9 million on November 24, 2009 and $0.5 million on February 9,
2010) which we satisfied with the issuance of common shares to the senior lender. The fair value of the embedded derivative instrument associated with Term Note B was reduced on a proportional basis to the amount of debt principal settled in a
manner consistent with the methodology used to extinguish derivative liabilities under the convertible

| | notes. Accordingly, the derivative instrument associated with Term Note B was reduced by $3.6 million and a net loss on the settlement of the debt principal and derivative instrument of $0.1
million, which represented the difference between the fair value of shares issued ($8.1 million) and the settlement of the liabilities ($4.4 million of debt principal and $3.6 million of derivative instrument), was recognized.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During fiscal 2010, $9.2 million of debt was repaid under Term Note A and Term Note C ($1.12 million under Term Note A on June 15, 2009; $3.75
million, $2.50 million and $1.80 million under Term Note C on May 1, 2009, October 1, 2009 and November 2, 2009, respectively) which we satisfied with the issuance of common shares to the senior lender. The shares had a combined
fair value of $9.6 million on the settlement dates. The difference between the fair value of the shares issued and the reduction of the principal was recognized as a net loss on settlement of $0.4 million.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During fiscal 2010, $1.6 million of the derivative instrument liabilities associated with the October 2006 Warrants were extinguished in connection
with the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. The fair value of the shares issued was also $1.6 million; therefore, there was no gain or loss on the settlement of these derivative warrant liabilities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Equity in Earnings of Affiliates. During fiscal year 2010, we recognized net earnings of $1.1
million representing our equity share in earnings of our affiliate, Asola, that we account for under the equity method. For fiscal 2009, we recognized a net loss of $0.7 million representing income of $0.1 million for our share of Asolas
earnings and charges of $0.8 million for our share of ALPs losses. Our ownership in Fisker Automotive was also under the equity method of accounting during these fiscal periods; however, we did not recognize any losses realized by Fisker
Automotive under the equity method as our net investment balance was zero and we have no obligation to fund deficit balances of the business. Our share of earnings or losses for the operating activities of PCD and Shigan Quantum, in which our equity
interests were obtained in fiscal 2010, were not significant for the twelve month period ended April 30, 2010.

Other
Income (Expense).We recorded other income of $2.0 million during fiscal 2009 in connection with a life insurance settlement payment. No significant other income or expense was recognized during fiscal 2010.

Income Taxes. Our income tax expense is minor for both fiscal periods presented primarily as a result of our lack of earnings
history. As a result of our historical losses, we have generated significant net operating losses that we can carry forward to offset taxable earnings that we generate in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during fiscal 2011 was $13.6 million, as compared to net cash used of $14.7 million during fiscal
2010. The cumulative impact of net changes in operating assets and liabilities during fiscal 2011 was a net increase of $1.1 million as compared to a net increase of $3.0 million in fiscal 2010. The net increase in operating assets and liabilities
in fiscal 2011 is mainly related to an increase in accounts payable, deferred revenue and other accrued liabilities. Excluding the changes in operating assets and liabilities, the cash used in operations improved from a use of $17.7 million in
fiscal 2010 to a use of $14.7 million in fiscal 2011. We expect that the level of cash required to be used for operations during fiscal 2012 will be less than the level of cash used during fiscal 2011 primarily due to anticipated higher revenues and
improved operating performance.

Net cash used in investing activities during each of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 was $0.6
million. Cash used to acquire and develop property and equipment was $1.8 million in fiscal 2011, as compared to $0.4 million in fiscal 2010. Cash used in fiscal 2011 included $1.2 million in costs to initiate construction of our Spring Bay wind
farm that was scheduled to be operational in April 2011. However, project activities on the Spring Bay wind farm were suspended during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 due to a lack of sufficient capital to complete

the project and the project was abandoned. In fiscal 2011, we also completed the sale of the Grand Valley wind farm asset which generated a total of $2.1 million in cash consideration during
fiscal 2011 from the sale of the asset, of which $0.9 million was distributed to the Grand Valley minority interest partners.

Net cash provided by financing activities during fiscal 2011 was $12.9 million, as compared to $16.8 million during fiscal
2010. Cash provided during fiscal 2011 consisted principally of (i) net proceeds of $6.2 million from a private placement of common stock and warrants that was partially completed in April 2010 and finalized during the first quarter of fiscal
2011, (ii) net proceeds of $3.4 million from a private placement of the 2010 Bridge Notes that was completed in October 2010, (iii) net proceeds of $2.5 million received under a non-revolving line of credit with our senior lender
established on January 3, 2011, and (iv) net proceeds of $5.2 million from a private placement of common stock and warrants that was completed on February 18, 2011. During fiscal 2011, we made cumulative principal payments to the
holders of the 2010 Bridge Notes of $4.0 million and used a portion of the proceeds from the private placement completed on February 18, 2011, to repay $0.5 million on the non-revolving line of credit.

Capital Resources

From our inception we have funded our operations and strategic investments primarily with proceeds from public and private offerings of
our common stock and borrowings with financial institutions and our current senior lender. Since May 1, 2008, we have completed the following capital transactions:



| |  |  | On May 30, 2008, we received $7.5 million in proceeds from our senior lender under a term note that was set to mature on August 31, 2009
(Term Note C) and we initially secured a $10.0 million unconditional commitment (Lender Commitment) from an affiliate of our senior lender that allowed us to draw on the commitment at our option and also allowed the senior lender to fund the
commitment at the senior lenders option under certain defined structures. As discussed further below, the Lender Commitment was terminated in connection with the January 3, 2011 debt restructure that we executed with the senior lender
before either party exercised its option under the arrangement.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On August 25, 2008, we completed a registered direct offering of common stock and warrants that yielded gross proceeds of $19.1 million. The net
amount received by us from the transaction, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, was approximately $17.7 million. We allocated $7.3 million of the net amount received from the transaction to the warrants that are classified as
derivative instruments.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On July 10, 2009, we and our senior lender agreed to a series of modifications to our credit facilities and incremental borrowings. In connection
with the modifications, the amount of outstanding principal and unpaid interest on a term note (Term Note A) of $6.6 million was replaced with a new convertible note in that amount issued to the senior lender (Convertible Note II) and we received an
additional $3.0 million in proceeds in exchange for a new convertible note issued to the senior lender (Convertible Note III).
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On September 4, 2009, we completed a private placement offering of common stock and warrants that raised cumulative gross proceeds of $12.3
million from the sale of shares of our common stock. The net amount received by us, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, was approximately $10.8 million.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On various dates from April 30, 2010 through July 26, 2010, we raised cumulative gross proceeds of $10.9 million in connection with a private
placement offering of common stock and warrants. The net amount received by us, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, was $9.3 million.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On October 13, 2010 and October 19, 2010, we raised cumulative gross proceeds of $4.0 million from the private placement sale of the 2010
Bridge Notes and warrants to certain accredited investors. The net amount received by us, after deducting placement agent fees and transaction expenses, was $3.4 million. On December 31, 2010, a payment default occurred as we were unable to
repay the principal

| | and interest on the December 31, 2010 maturity date. The payment default in the 2010 Bridge Notes caused contractual defaults on all of our debt obligations with our senior lender (which
were all cured upon the final payoff of the 2010 Bridge Notes on April 29, 2011).
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On January 3, 2011, we and our senior lender entered into a series of transactions which restructured certain of our debt instruments, terminated
the Lender Commitment, and provided us with a new $5.0 million non-revolving line of credit (LOC). On January 10, 2011, we received proceeds of $2.5 million under the LOC.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On January 18, 2011, we and each of the holders of the 2010 Bridge Notes agreed to amend the scheduled principal repayment dates and revised the
maturity date of the 2010 Bridge Notes to April 29, 2011.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On February 18, 2011, we completed a private placement of common stock and warrants pursuant to which we raised cumulative gross proceeds of $5.7
million. The net amount received by us, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, was approximately $5.1 million. Our senior lender participated in the private placement as an investor and subscribed for $2.0 million of common
stock units. The senior lender paid the subscription price by the cancellation of $2.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the LOC. In connection with the closing of the private placement, the remaining unused $2.5 million under the LOC was
terminated.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On May 9, 2011 and May 19, 2011, we raised cumulative gross proceeds of $1.5 million from a private placement sale of senior subordinated
bridge notes (2011 Bridge Notes) and warrants to certain accredited investors. The net amount received by us, after deducting placement agent fees and transaction expenses, was $1.4 million.

| |  |  | On June 15, 2011, we completed a private placement offering of common stock and warrants pursuant to which we raised cumulative gross proceeds of
$7.5 million. The net amount received by us, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, was approximately $6.5 million.

Liquidity

Our historical operating results, capital resources and
financial position, in combination with current projections and estimates, were considered in managements plan and intentions to fund our operations over a reasonable period of time which we define as the twelve month period ending as of
April 30, 2012. For purposes of liquidity disclosures, we assess the likelihood that we have sufficient available working capital and other principal sources of liquidity to fund our operating activities and obligations as they become due and
the likelihood that we will be able to maintain compliance with the required provisions contained within our debt instruments over the twelve month period. We have historically incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating
activities. Although we expect to use a significant amount of cash in our operations over the next year for our operating activities and debt service, our current operating plan anticipates increased revenues and improved profit margins for the
twelve month period, which we expect will reduce the levels of cash required for our operating activities as compared to historical levels of use.

Our principal source of liquidity as of June 15, 2011, after factoring in the private placement offering transaction that closed on that date, consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $7.9 million.

As of June 15, 2011, we had $18.6 million of outstanding debt obligations, consisting of $12.5 million due under three
convertible notes that mature on August 31, 2011, $1.5 million due under the 2011 Bridge Notes that mature on September 30, 2011, $3.0 million due under the Consent Fee Term Note that is payable on demand at any time after July 31,
2011, $1.3 million related to a bank term loan that matures on April 3, 2012, and $0.3 million of other obligations.

In
order to have sufficient cash for our operations and debt service needs, we will need to either: (i) raise a significant amount of additional capital before August 31, 2011, (ii) refinance our senior indebtedness, or (iii) seek
an extension of the maturity dates of our senior debt obligations.

---

##### Table of Contents

We believe that our existing principal sources of liquidity will only be sufficient to fund
our activities up through the maturity of the convertible notes currently scheduled to mature on August 31, 2011 as we do not currently have sufficient cash on hand to satisfy the remaining balance owed on the convertible notes. Our recurring
negative cash flows and short-term debt service obligations combined with our existing sources of liquidity and other conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements that are included in this report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects
on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition to our need to raise sufficient capital to cover our existing operations and debt service obligations in August 2011, we will
also need to raise additional capital in order to complete the proposed Asola LOI transaction (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), complete the build out of our planned wind and solar development projects, complete the planned
Quantum Solar manufacturing operation in Irvine, California, and to further develop future generations of our hybrid electric propulsion systems. Further, we will need to increase revenues and improve profit margins for our business to be
sustainable over the long term. We do not plan to move forward with the proposed Asola LOI transaction, the build out of wind and solar development projects or the Quantum Solar manufacturing operation until we raise a level of additional capital to
be able repay our debt obligations as they mature, fund one or more of these projects and maintain sufficient levels of working capital for our overall business.

Given our historical operating results and the difficult credit markets that currently exist, we do not expect that we will be able refinance our senior indebtedness with a traditional commercial loan.
Rather, we will need to seek an alternative loan arrangement such as a convertible debenture or other equity linked debt securities.

Although we will try to negotiate an extension of the applicable maturity dates with our senior lender and we have successfully extended the scheduled maturity dates on the debt obligations with our
senior lender in the past on several occasions, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to further modify the current arrangements. We are also currently evaluating our options for raising additional capital in order to maintain
sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they become due. The actual amount of capital that we will need to raise is highly dependent upon the levels of debt conversions by our convertible note lenders and our ability to further extend the
scheduled maturity dates of our obligations.

If we are unable to raise sufficient capital to fund our working capital needs
or repay our debt obligations as they mature or otherwise refinance those debt obligations or extend the maturity dates, it would have a material adverse affect on our business and our ability to continue as a going concern.

Research and Development Funding
Commitment. Pursuant to our strategic alliance agreements with General Motors (which were assumed by General Motors LLC as part of the bankruptcy reorganization) we have committed to spend $4.0 million annually for specific research and
development projects directed by General Motors to speed the commercialization of our fuel cell related products. Since this commitment was waived or partially waived by General Motors for each of the calendar years 2002 through 2010, we anticipate
that this commitment will be waived or partially waived in the future. During fiscal 2011, there were no directed research and development activities pursuant to the agreement.

Royalties.We are obligated to provide revenue sharing payments to General Motors based on a percentage of gross revenue derived
from sales of applications developed under the strategic alliance agreement. The revenue sharing payments will equal 5% of applicable gross revenue through July 23, 2015, 4% for the ten-year period ending July 23, 2025, 3% for the ten-year
period ending July 23, 2035, and 2% for the ten-year period ending July 23, 2045. On July 23, 2045, we will also be obligated to provide a final revenue sharing payment to General Motors equal to the present value of future revenue
sharing payments that would otherwise be payable to General Motors on an annual basis assuming an income stream to General Motors of 2% of our gross revenues in perpetuity. As of April 30, 2011, no revenue sharing payments have been applicable.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of April 30, 2011, we are exposed to market risk from changes in our common stock pursuant to the terms of our derivative instrument liabilities associated with certain of our warrants issued in
October 2006, June 2007, August 2008, August 2009, September 2009, and the B warrants issued on February 18, 2011. The share price of our common stock represents the underlying variable that primarily gives rise
to the value of our derivative instruments. In accordance with US GAAP, the derivative instrument liabilities are recorded at fair value and marked to market each period. Changes in fair value of the derivatives each period resulting from a
movement in the share price of our common stock or the passage of time are recognized as fair value adjustments of derivative instruments on our consolidated statements of operations as other income or expense. The change in fair values of our
derivatives can have a material impact on our earnings or loss each period. For example, if our share price immediately increased 10% above the closing price of $2.58 per share on April 30, 2011, the fair value of our derivative instruments
would increase and a charge in the amount of $0.3 million related to the increase in fair value of the derivatives would be recognized as follows:

We are also exposed to risk from fluctuating currency exchange rates, primarily the US
Dollar against the Euro Dollar and against the Canadian Dollar. On April 30, 2011, one euro was equal to 1.48 US Dollars and one Canadian dollar was equal to 1.05 US Dollars. Specifically, we are at risk that a future decline in the US Dollar
against the euro will increase the amount that we will have to pay to satisfy requirements of our long-term supply agreement with Asola and other obligations that we enter into with European-based suppliers. We have a remaining commitment to
purchase solar cells with a cumulative power of 77.5 MW and make prepayments through December 31, 2017 at a fixed price of 113.3 million euro, or US$167.7 million, based on the currency exchange rate at April 30, 2011; a 10% decline
in the US Dollar against the euro could require us to pay an additional US$16.8 million over the course of the remaining agreement. We face transactional currency exposures that arise when our foreign subsidiaries and affiliates enter into
transactions denominated in currencies other than their own local currency. We also face currency exposure that arises from translating the results of our Canadian and German operations to the US Dollar.

We are not exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates due to the fixed nature of interest rates associated with our debt
instruments.

To date, we have not used any derivative financial instruments for the purpose of reducing our exposure to
adverse fluctuations in interest rates but we have entered into currency exchange arrangements for the purpose of reducing our exposure to adverse changes in currency exchange rates. As of April 30, 2011, we had no outstanding contractual
commitments to purchase foreign currency. Net foreign currency transaction gains or losses were not significant during fiscal 2011.

Balance Sheet Disclosures

Warrants with Exercise Price Resets

We issued warrants to investors in October 2006 and in August 2008 that contain contractual provisions which, subject to certain
exceptions, reset the exercise price of such warrants if at any time while such warrants are outstanding, we sell or issues shares of our common stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable or exchangeable
for shares of our common stock. Since the initial issuance of these warrants, we have completed equity transactions through June 15, 2011 that resulted in the reset of the exercise price of the October 2006 Warrants and August 2008 Warrants to
$2.92 and $38.60, respectively. As of June 15, 2011, the August 2008 Warrants have been reset to the lowest price allowable under the terms of the August 2008 Warrant so the reset provision is no longer applicable.

The October 2006 Warrants and August 2008 Warrants also contain a provision that increases the number of shares of common stock subject
to such warrants if and when the exercise price is reset so that the aggregate purchase price payable applicable to the exercise of the warrants after the reset of the exercise price is the same as the aggregate purchase price payable immediately
prior to the reset. As a result of the exercise price resets, the number of shares subject to the October 2006 Warrants and August 2008 Warrants increased to 1,334,906 and 1,398,964, respectively, as of June 15, 2011. Any resets to the exercise
price of the October 2006 Warrants in the future will have an additional dilutive effect on our existing shareholders.

Warrant
Classifications

We evaluate the warrants provided in connection with each of our private placement or public offerings
in accordance with applicable accounting guidance and we have concluded that liability classification is appropriate for warrants issued in October 2006, June 2007, August 2008, August 2009, September 2009 and the B
warrants issued in February 2011. We have further concluded that equity classification is appropriate for all the remaining warrants that were outstanding during the three year periods covered by these consolidated financial statements due to the
fact that these warrants are considered to be indexed to our own stock, are required to be physically settled in shares of our common stock and there are no provisions that could require net-cash settlement.

##### Table of Contents

The proceeds from transactions that gave rise to warrants have been allocated to the common
stock or debt issued and the warrants based on their relative fair values. For those transactions in which proceeds were received in connection with the sale of common stock, we aggregate the values of those warrants that we do not classify as
liabilities with the fair value of the stock issued as both of these types of instruments have been classified as permanent equity.

The classification as equity for certain of the warrants could change as a result of either future modifications to the existing terms of settlement or the issuance of new financial instruments by us that
could be converted into an increased or unlimited number of shares. If a change in classification of certain warrants is required in the future, the warrants would be treated as derivatives, reclassified as liabilities on the balance sheet at their
fair value, and marked to market each period, with the changes in fair values being recognized in the respective periods statement of operations.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify the
Companys financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

Based on their
evaluation as of April 30, 2011, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).

Our internal control over financial reporting
includes policies and procedures that:



| |  |  | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of our assets;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Provide reasonable assurances that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors;
and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Internal control over financial reporting is designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements prepared for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals. Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with
the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2011, based on the framework in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The scope of our assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting included the internal controls of Schneider Power.

Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework, management concluded that our internal
control over financial reporting was effective as of April 30, 2011.

Independent Auditors Evaluation of
Internal Controls as of April 30, 2011

Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm,
audited the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and, based on that audit, issued their report which follows on the next page.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as noted
below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

On April 16, 2010, we acquired Schneider Power. During fiscal 2011, we evaluated and completed our
integration of Schneider Powers operations, policies and processes into our overall system of internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of
April 30, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc.
and Subsidiaries management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2011, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of April 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2011 of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries and our report dated July 1, 2011 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
April 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2011. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the
Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries at April 30, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended April 30, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, Quantum Fuel
Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries recurring losses and negative cash flows combined with the Companys existing sources of liquidity and other conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Managements plans as to these matters also are described in Note 1. The April 30, 2011 financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We also have
audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2011, based
on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated July 1, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



We also hold ownership interests in certain unconsolidated active businesses that are
accounted for either under the equity or cost methods of accounting. These interests include: (i) in December 2010 we and the majority shareholder of Asola formed Asola Quantum Solarpower AG (AQS) to serve as a holding company for certain
divisions of Asolas business, (ii) on September 3, 2009, we acquired an ownership interest in Shigan Quantum Technologies PVT LTD (Shigan Quantum), a start-up manufacturer of fuel injectors based in New Delhi, India, (iii) on
October 6, 2009, we acquired an ownership interest in Power Control and Design, Inc. (PCD), a power control electronics software developer based in Newbury Park, California, (iv) on January 4, 2008, we acquired an ownership interest
in Asola, a solar module manufacturer located in Erfurt, Germany, and (v) on August 7, 2007, we co-founded Fisker Automotive, Inc. (Fisker Automotive) with Fisker Coachbuild, LLC, which was formed for the purpose of producing premium
plug-in hybrid automobiles. Our equity ownership in Fisker Automotive was less than 1% at April 30, 2011 and we currently account for our investment in Fisker Automotive under the cost method of accounting. See Note 6 for further discussion of
these businesses.

We also have an ownership interest in Advanced Lithium Power, Inc. (ALP) that we obtained on March 3,
2006. ALP ceased operations in June 2010 upon the appointment of a receiver. Our remaining investment in ALP was fully written off as of April 30, 2010.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to fiscal year 2009 and 2010 amounts to conform to the fiscal year
2011 presentation.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we have evaluated subsequent events. For purposes of
these consolidated financial statements, subsequent events are those events that occurred after the balance sheet date but before the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued.

Reverse Stock Split

On February 8, 2011, we implemented a reverse stock split pursuant to which all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock at the close of business on such date were combined and
reconstituted as a smaller number of shares of common stock in a ratio of 1 share of common stock for every 20 shares of common stock. Fractional shares were paid in cash. Our authorized shares of common stock were reduced proportionately from
400.0 million to 20.0 million. The reverse stock split did not affect our 20.0 million shares of authorized preferred stock. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the
effects of the reverse stock split. The reverse split did not affect the amount of equity we have or affect our market capitalization.

Capital Resources

From our inception we have funded our operations and
strategic investments primarily with proceeds from public and private offerings of our common stock and borrowings with financial institutions and our current senior lender. Since May 1, 2008, we have completed the following capital
transactions:



| |  |  | On May 30, 2008, we received $7.5 million in proceeds from our senior lender under a term note that was set to mature on August 31, 2009
(Term Note C) and we initially secured a $10.0 million unconditional commitment (Lender Commitment) from an affiliate of our senior lender that allowed us to draw on the commitment at our option and also allowed the senior lender to fund the
commitment at the senior lenders option under certain defined structures. As discussed further below, the Lender Commitment was terminated in connection with the January 3, 2011 debt restructure that we executed with the senior lender
before either party exercised its option under the arrangement.

| |  |  | On August 25, 2008, we completed a registered direct offering of common stock and warrants that yielded gross proceeds of $19.1 million. The net
amount received by us from the transaction, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, was approximately $17.7 million. We allocated $7.3 million of the net amount received from the transaction to the warrants that are classified as
derivative instruments.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On July 10, 2009, we and our senior lender agreed to a series of modifications to our credit facilities and incremental borrowings. In connection
with the modifications, the amount of outstanding principal and unpaid interest on a term note (Term Note A) of $6.6 million was replaced with a new convertible note in that amount issued to the senior lender (Convertible Note II) and we received an
additional $3.0 million in proceeds in exchange for a new convertible note issued to the senior lender (Convertible Note III).
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On September 4, 2009, we completed a private placement offering of common stock and warrants that raised cumulative gross proceeds of $12.3
million from the sale of shares of our common stock. The net amount received by us, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, was approximately $10.8 million.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On various dates from April 30, 2010 through July 26, 2010, we raised cumulative gross proceeds of $10.9 million in connection with a private
placement offering of common stock and warrants. The net amount received by us, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, was $9.3 million.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On October 13, 2010 and October 19, 2010, we raised cumulative gross proceeds of $4.0 million from the private placement sale of the 2010
Bridge Notes and warrants to certain accredited investors. The net amount received by us, after deducting placement agent fees and transaction expenses, was $3.4 million. On December 31, 2010, a payment default occurred as we were unable to
repay the principal and interest on the December 31, 2010 maturity date. The payment default in the 2010 Bridge Notes caused contractual defaults on all of our debt obligations with our senior lender (which were all cured upon the final payoff
of the 2010 Bridge Notes on April 29, 2011).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On January 3, 2011, we and our senior lender entered into a series of transactions which restructured certain of our debt instruments, terminated
the Lender Commitment, and provided us with a new $5.0 million non-revolving line of credit (LOC). On January 10, 2011, we received proceeds of $2.5 million under the LOC.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On January 18, 2011, we and each of the holders of the 2010 Bridge Notes agreed to amend the scheduled principal repayment dates and revised the
maturity date of the 2010 Bridge Notes to April 29, 2011.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On February 18, 2011, we completed a private placement of common stock and warrants pursuant to which we raised cumulative gross proceeds of $5.7
million. The net amount received by us, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, was approximately $5.1 million. Our senior lender participated in the private placement as an investor and subscribed for $2.0 million of common
stock units. The senior lender paid the subscription price by the cancellation of $2.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under the LOC. In connection with the closing of the private placement, the remaining unused $2.5 million under the LOC was
terminated.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On May 9, 2011 and May 19, 2011, we raised cumulative gross proceeds of $1.5 million from a private placement sale of senior subordinated
bridge notes (2011 Bridge Notes) and warrants to certain accredited investors. The net amount received by us, after deducting placement agent fees and transaction expenses, was $1.4 million.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Liquidity

Our historical operating results, capital resources and financial position, in combination with current projections and estimates, were
considered in managements plan and intentions to fund our operations over a reasonable period of time which we define as the twelve month period ending as of April 30, 2012. For purposes of liquidity disclosures, we assess the likelihood
that we have sufficient available working capital and other principal sources of liquidity to fund our operating activities and obligations as they become due and the likelihood that we will be able to maintain compliance with the required
provisions contained within our debt instruments over the twelve month period. We have historically incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. Although we expect to use a significant amount of cash in our operations
over the next year for our operating activities and debt service, our current operating plan anticipates increased revenues and improved profit margins for the twelve month period, which we expect will reduce the levels of cash required for our
operating activities as compared to historical levels of use.

Our principal source of liquidity as of June 15, 2011,
after factoring in the private placement offering transaction that closed on that date, consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $7.9 million.

As of June 15, 2011, we had $18.6 million of outstanding debt obligations, consisting of $12.5 million due under three convertible notes that mature on August 31, 2011, $1.5 million due under
the 2011 Bridge Notes that mature on September 30, 2011, $3.0 million due under the Consent Fee Term Note that is payable on demand at any time after July 31, 2011, $1.3 million related to a bank term loan that matures on April 3,
2012, and $0.3 million of other obligations.

In order to have sufficient cash for our operations and debt service needs, we
will need to either: (i) raise a significant amount of additional capital before August 31, 2011, (ii) refinance our senior indebtedness, or (iii) seek an extension of the maturity dates of our senior debt obligations.

We believe that our existing principal sources of liquidity will only be sufficient to fund our activities up through the
maturity of the convertible notes currently scheduled to mature on August 31, 2011 as we do not currently have sufficient cash on hand to satisfy the remaining balance owed on the convertible notes. Our recurring negative cash flows and
short-term debt service obligations combined with our existing sources of liquidity and other conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements that are included in this report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects
on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition to our need to raise sufficient capital to cover our existing operations and debt service obligations in August 2011, we will
also need to raise additional capital in order to complete the proposed Asola LOI transaction (see Note 6), complete the build out of our planned wind and solar development projects, complete the planned Quantum Solar manufacturing operation in
Irvine, California, and to further develop future generations of our hybrid electric propulsion systems. Further, we will need to increase revenues and improve profit margins for our business to be sustainable over the long term. We do not
plan to move forward with the proposed Asola LOI transaction, the build out of wind and solar development projects or the Quantum Solar manufacturing operation until we raise a level of additional capital to be able repay our debt obligations as
they mature, fund one or more of these projects and maintain sufficient levels of working capital for our overall business.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Given our historical operating results and the difficult credit markets that currently
exist, we do not expect that we will be able refinance our senior indebtedness with a traditional commercial loan. Rather, we will need to seek an alternative loan arrangement such as a convertible debenture or other equity linked debt securities.

Although we will try to negotiate an extension of the applicable maturity dates with our senior lender and we have
successfully extended the scheduled maturity dates on the debt obligations with our senior lender in the past on several occasions, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to further modify the current arrangements. We are also
currently evaluating our options for raising additional capital in order to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they become due. The actual amount of capital that we will need to raise is highly dependent upon the levels of debt
conversions by our convertible note lenders and our ability to further extend the scheduled maturity dates of our obligations.

If we are unable to raise sufficient capital to fund our working capital needs or repay our debt obligations as they mature or otherwise
refinance those debt obligations or extend the maturity dates, it would have a material adverse affect on our business and our ability to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in
the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include assessing our levels of liquidity needs through April 30, 2012, collectability of accounts receivable, estimates of contract costs and percentage of
completion, the use and recoverability of inventory, the carrying amounts and fair value of long-lived assets and goodwill, including estimates of future cash flows and market valuations associated with asset impairment evaluations, the fair value
of derivatives associated with debt instruments and warrants, the realization of deferred taxes, useful lives for depreciation/ amortization periods of assets and provisions for warranty claims, among others. The markets for our products are
characterized by competition, technological development and new product introduction, all of which could impact the future realizability of our assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translations

The books and records of our wholly-owned subsidiary, SPI, and our affiliate, Asola, are maintained in functional currencies that differ from the United States (U.S.) dollar functional currency that is
reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. SPIs functional currency is the Canadian dollar and Asolas functional currency is the Euro.

SPIs assets and liabilities and our investment in and advances to Asola are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the end of the reporting period. SPIs revenues and expenses and our
equity in earnings or losses of Asola are translated at the average rates of exchange for the period. Foreign currency translation gains or losses are accumulated within other comprehensive income or loss as a separate component of
stockholders equity.

Foreign currency gains and losses (transactions denominated in a currency other than SPIs
local currency) are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Revenue Recognition

We generally manufacture products based on specific orders from customers. Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete and
collectibility is reasonably assured, which for product sales is generally

upon shipment from our warehouse or shipment from warehouses of certain component suppliers that we have contractual relationships with. We include the costs of shipping and handling, when
incurred, in cost of goods sold.

Contract revenue for customer funded research and development is principally recognized by
the percentage of completion method. Generally, we estimate percentage complete by determining cost incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated cost at completion. For certain other contracts, percentage complete is determined by measuring
progress towards contract deliverables if it is determined that this methodology more closely tracks the realization of the earnings process. For contracts measured under the estimated cost approach, we believe we can generally make dependable
estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to various stages of a contract. Recognized revenue and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. Our estimates of contract costs are based on expectations of engineering
development time and materials and other support costs. These estimates can change based on unforeseen technology and integration issues, but known risk factors and contract challenges are generally allowed for in the initial scope and cost estimate
of the program. Revisions in profit estimates are charged to income in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.

In certain circumstances, customers pay one price for multiple products and services. For arrangements with multiple deliverables, revenue is recognized upon the delivery of the separate units based on
their relative selling prices. Consideration from multiple element arrangements is allocated among the separate elements based on their relative fair values.

Effective with our acquisition of SPI on April 16, 2010, our revenues now include energy generation sales associated with a wind farm which are recognized at the time of generation and delivery to
the purchasing utility provider as metered at the point of interconnection with the transmission system. The rate paid by the purchasing utility provider is established in the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) executed between us and the utility
provider.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Equipment used in research and development with alternative future uses is capitalized and only the current period depreciation is
charged to research and development.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Cash Flow Presentation

We report cash flows under the indirect method.

Accounts Receivable

We sell to customers using credit terms customary in our industry. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation
of the customers financial condition, and when credit is extended, collateral is generally not required. Interest is not normally charged on receivables. We establish an allowance for potential losses on our accounts receivable based on
historical loss experience and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are charged off to the allowance when we determine that the account is uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for all inventories.
Market is determined by replacement cost for raw materials and parts and net realizable value for work-in-process and finished goods. Our business is subject to the risk of technological and design changes. We provide for obsolete or slow-moving
inventory based on our analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts at the end of each accounting period.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment (other than land which is not depreciated) is computed by the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We are depreciating tooling, dies and molds over 5 years; plant machinery and equipment over 7 years; power generation machinery and equipment over 20 years; information systems and office
equipment over periods of 3 to 7 years; and automobiles and trucks over 5 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements and equipment financed under borrowing facilities is provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the assets
estimated useful lives or the lease terms.

Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements,
maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheets and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of
operations.

Equity Method Investments

Investments in common stock of non-consolidated affiliates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as a result of our ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and
financial policies of our affiliates. The ability to exercise significant influence is due in part to the level of our equity holdings and/or through our representation on the board of directors for these affiliates. Under the equity method of
accounting, investments of this nature are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize our proportionate share of the investees net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment
accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not recorded. We resume accounting for the investment under the equity method when the affiliated entity
subsequently reports net income and our share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value
that is other than temporary has occurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Acquisitions meeting business combinations criteria often give rise to goodwill. We utilize the services of valuation consultants to
assist in allocating purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities assumed in connection with acquisition activities.

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in acquisitions and is allocated to our
business segments. Goodwill is not amortized and is assessed annually for impairment (as of February 1) or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.

We amortize specifically identified intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when an indicator of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



impairment (significant decrease in market value of an asset, significant change in extent or manner in which the asset is used or significant physical change to the asset) is present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount.

Warranty
Costs

We follow the policy of accruing an estimated liability for warranties at the time the warranted products are sold.
Warranty is provided with terms similar to those offered by the OEM to its customers, which generally ranges from one to five years. Estimates are based, in part, on historical experience.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We account for conversion features contained within certain of our debt instruments and exercise features of certain of our warrant contracts as derivative financial instruments as further discussed in
Notes 10, 11 and 12.

The derivative financial instruments, which are classified as liabilities, are recorded at fair value
and marked to market each period. Changes in fair value of the derivatives each period resulting from a movement in the share price of our common stock or the passage of time are recognized as fair value adjustments of derivative instruments on the
consolidated statements of operations as other income or expense. Changes in fair value resulting from the modification to the terms of the derivative are recognized as a gain or loss on modification of derivative instruments on the consolidated
statement of operations as other income or expense. We also use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to our own stock, including evaluating the instruments contingent
exercise and settlement provisions.

Certain derivative instruments are presented as current liabilities on the consolidated
balance sheet if the terms allow the holder to either exercise warrants or to convert debt principal or demand principal repayments associated with derivative instruments within the current operating cycle. These derivative instruments are similar
in nature to demand obligations because the settlement could require cash payment due to events that are outside of our control.

Income Taxes

The asset and liability approach is used to recognize
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date (see Note 14).

We
account for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by
GAAP. Under GAAP, the tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If the tax position is not considered more-likely-than-not to
be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized.

Share-Based Compensation

We account for share-based compensation by recognizing the estimated fair value of stock options and similar equity instruments issued to
our employees over the requisite vesting period as an expense. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and record compensation expense on a straight-line amortization basis over the requisite vesting period of the option grants or other
stock-based awards.

Segment Information

We classify our continuing business operations into three segments: Fuel Systems, Renewable Energy and Corporate (see Note 17).

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are included in comprehensive income (loss) but are excluded from net income or loss, as these amounts are
recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders equity. The change in our accumulated other comprehensive loss for the periods presented is primarily associated with currency translation gains or losses.

Interest Expense

We recognize the amortization of deferred loan origination costs as interest expense under the effective interest method over the life of the arrangement.

Financial Instruments, Hedging Derivatives, and Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that we enter into consist principally of cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, stock options and
warrants, and long-term debt.

We may use derivative financial instruments for the purpose of reducing our exposure to adverse
fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. While these instruments could be subject to fluctuations in value, such fluctuations are generally offset by the value of the underlying exposures being reduced. We have not used any derivative
financial instruments for the purpose of reducing our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates but have entered into currency exchange arrangements for the purpose of reducing our exposure to adverse changes in currency exchange rates. We
are not a party to leveraged derivatives for investment or speculative purposes.

We conduct a major portion of our business
with a limited number of customers. Fisker Automotive and General Motors (including subsidiaries of General Motors) represent a significant portion of our outstanding accounts receivable as of April 30, 2011. A single senior secured lender, WB
QT, LLC, or affiliates of the senior secured lender (the senior lender), principally hold the majority of our long-term debt obligations. See further discussion of accounts receivable and long term debt obligations at Notes 4 and 10,
respectively.

Fair Values Measurements

We determine fair values of our assets and liabilities in accordance with the fair value measurements method under GAAP. We elected not to adopt the fair value option for any of our financial assets or
liabilities that were not already accounted for under the fair value method prior to the adoption of the fair value measurements method. Based on certain qualifying events, we may elect to adopt the fair value option in the future for certain
financial assets and liabilities. See further discussion of fair value measurements at Note 11.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements Adopted

Effective May 1, 2010, we adopted new guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
No. 810-10-05, Consolidations-Variable Interest Entities. ASC 810-10-05 changes the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) and requires companies to more frequently assess whether
they must consolidate VIEs. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Effective May 1, 2010, we adopted new guidance under Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. ASU 2009-13 modifies two significant requirements that must be met for an entity to recognize revenue from the sale of
multiple element arrangements. The first relates to the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. The second change modifies the manner in which the
transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. ASU 2009-13 eliminates the requirement that objective and reliable evidence of the fair value exists for the undelivered items in order for a delivered
item to be treated as a separate unit of accounting. In addition it modifies the methodology used to allocate transaction consideration to each of the identified units of accounting. Under the previous guidance, if objective and reliable evidence of
fair value existed for all of the units of accounting identified, the transaction consideration was allocated based on the relative fair values of the units of accounting. ASU 2009-13 modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is
allocated by requiring the arrangement consideration to be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables based on their relative selling price. Under the relative selling price method, the selling price for each deliverable is
determined using vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of selling price, if it exists; otherwise, selling price is determined based on third party evidence (TPE) of selling price. If neither exists, the vendor uses its best estimate of the
selling price for that deliverable. Although ASU 2009-13 is only required to be adopted for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, early adoption is permitted. The adoption
of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

3. Acquisition of Schneider Power,
Inc.

On April 16, 2010 we completed our acquisition of Toronto, Ontario, Canada-based Schneider Power, Inc. (SPI)
under the terms of a definitive Arrangement Agreement executed on November 24, 2009 (the Arrangement Agreement) pursuant to which we acquired all of the outstanding shares of SPI in a stock-for-stock exchange. Effective upon the
closing of the Arrangement Agreement, we now operate SPI as a wholly-owned subsidiary. SPI is a renewable energy company that develops and constructs electricity generation facilities. SPI also owns and operates a wind farm in Ontario, Canada and
has a significant portfolio of renewable wind and solar energy projects in North America and the Caribbean in various stages of development. We report the operations of SPI in the Renewable Energy business segment (see Note 17).

In connection with the closing of the Arrangement Agreement, we issued a total of 840,551 shares of our common stock to SPI shareholders
(representing 0.01195 of a Quantum common share for each SPI common share outstanding), which included 10,549 shares issued to holders of SPI in-the-money compensatory stock options at the time of closing. All outstanding SPI stock options and SPI
warrants were cancelled effective upon the closing of the transaction. We provided the former SPI warrant holders with Quantum replacement warrants that allowed these warrant holders to purchase up to 102,822 shares of our common stock at exercise
prices ranging from $9.60 to $48.20 per share which expired without being exercised through May 13, 2011. The closing of the Arrangement Agreement was accounted for as an acquisition of SPI by Quantum. The shares issued in connection with the
Arrangement Agreement represented approximately 10% of our total shares outstanding on a post-transaction basis. Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, we appointed an individual nominated by SPI to fill a vacancy on our Board of
Directors.

Consideration and Measurement of Goodwill

The total fair value of the consideration provided by us on the closing date was $11.9 million and there is no further contingent
consideration of other adjustments contemplated per the terms of the definitive business combination agreement. The fair value of the shares issued in connection with the acquisition was determined



F-16

##### Table of Contents

QUANTUM FUEL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



based on the closing share price of our common stock ($14.00 on April 16, 2010) on the date the transaction was completed. The fair value of the replacement warrants issued to former SPI
warrant holders was based on option-pricing mathematical formulas generally referred to as Black-Scholes option-pricing models.

We finalized the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. During fiscal 2011, we revised our estimate of the
fair value of certain liabilities assumed as part of the acquisition which resulted in an increase to goodwill of $0.1 million above the amount of goodwill initially estimated as of April 16, 2010. Based upon the final analysis, we identified
$9.4 million of tangible and intangible assets at fair value as of the date of the closing, which was net of the fair value of liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests. As a result, we ascribed $2.5 million of the consideration related to
the transaction as goodwill in the Renewable Energy business segment representing the expected synergies and other intangible value that the SPI acquisition brought to our overall alternative energy business strategy (see Notes 8 and 17).

The components of the consideration paid is as follows:



|                                                                 |  |   |            |

Pro Forma Data

The operating results of SPI have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. The pro forma
financial data set forth below gives effect to our acquisition of SPI as if the acquisition had been completed on May 1, 2008. The pro forma financial data includes adjustments to reflect an increase in operating expenses associated with
intangible asset amortization (resulting from the identification of renewable energy project intangible assets in connection with the acquisition that were not previously recorded) and an increase in the number of shares used in per share
calculation as a result of shares issued in connection with the transaction. The pro forma financial data excludes those adjustments made to the book value of SPIs tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
value at the date of acquisition.

The pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of what the
actual consolidated results of operations might have been had the transaction occurred on May 1, 2008. Included in the as reported and pro forma results for fiscal 2010 were non-recurring expenses related to the acquisition of $0.7 million and
$1.4 million, respectively. The acquisition costs are reported in selling, general and administrative costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Investment in Grand Valley

Included in the SPI assets acquired was $2.1
million as of April 16, 2010 and April 30, 2010 related to a renewable energy project asset that we had classified as held for sale. This asset represented the fair value of SPIs investment in a wind farm project that is under
development and that we refer to as the Grand Valley wind farm. We had recorded the asset at its fair value, less estimated cost to sell. As of the closing date of the Arrangement Agreement, management of SPI had committed to a plan to sell the
asset and the asset was available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for this type of sale. Actions to locate a buyer as of the acquisition date had been initiated and the sale of the asset
was considered probable within twelve months.

During fiscal 2011, SPI executed an arrangement with a non-affiliated third
party for the sale of the Grand Valley wind farm asset for $2.1 million in cash. On February 1, 2011, we received the balance of the cash consideration and completed the sale of the asset. In connection with the sales transaction, we
distributed $0.9 million in cash to the minority interest partners associated with the asset. There was no residual gain or loss to be recognized on the disposal of the asset.

We maintain a significant provision for obsolescence reserves associated with specific hydrogen fuel
system component parts and materials as we expect that future sales to General Motors and other OEMs of our automotive fuel system products utilizing hydrogen components will continue to be negatively impacted as a result of the unfavorable economic
conditions that are still being experienced in the automotive industry.

6. Strategic Investments

Investment in Fisker Automotive

On August 7, 2007, we and Fisker Coachbuild, LLC, launched a new venture, Fisker Automotive, Inc. (Fisker Automotive), to produce premium plug-in hybrid automobiles. We initially owned 62.0% of
Fisker Automotive; however, Fisker Automotive has since raised a level of capital that has resulted in the dilution of our direct ownership interest to less than 1% at April 30, 2011.

Fisker Automotives first scheduled production vehicle, the Fisker Karma, a four door hybrid-electric premium sports sedan that
incorporates our plug-in hybrid electric vehicle architecture known as Q-Drive, is expected to have initial deliveries beginning in calendar 2011.

On April 29, 2010, we executed a long-term production supply agreement with Fisker Automotive which, as later amended on November 8, 2010, sets forth the definitive terms pursuant to which we
are the exclusive supplier of certain key sub-systems and control systems included in the Q-Drive powertrain system for the Fisker

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Karma production vehicle and we will also receive a royalty for each Fisker Karma vehicle sold that incorporates our Q-Drive technology (the Fisker Production Agreement). The
Fisker Production Agreement covers the program life of the vehicle platform and outlines minimum volumes of 45,000 vehicles over this period.

We accounted for our investment in Fisker Automotive under the equity method of accounting from the date of our initial ownership interest through the first quarter of fiscal 2011. During the second
quarter of fiscal 2011, we changed the method of accounting to the cost method as a result of changes in the composition of the Fisker Automotive board of directors and the dilution of our equity interest since the initial formation of the venture
such that we no longer are considered to have significant influence over Fisker Automotive; however, under both of these methodologies, our investment in Fisker Automotive has been carried at zero for all periods presented.

During fiscal 2011, we continued to provide engineering services to support the Fisker Karma vehicle platform, including system
validation, certification and other pre-production development activities, in addition to supplying certain prototype component parts for pre-production Fisker Karma vehicles along with initial shipments of production level component parts.

Investment in Affiliates

We account for our active affiliates, Asola, PCD, and Shigan Quantum under the equity method of accounting. The components of investment in and advances to affiliates is as follows:

Asola

On January 4, 2008, we acquired a 24.9% ownership interest in asola Advanced and Automotive Solar Systems GmbH (Asola), a solar module manufacturer located in Erfurt, Germany. We also have an option
to increase our ownership interest in Asola by an additional 7.76% in exchange for 0.1 million euro. We account for our equity interest in Asola under the equity method of accounting. Although Asola is a variable interest entity, we are not
considered the primary beneficiary as defined under GAAP.

On March 14, 2011, we amended a non-binding Letter of Intent
with Asolas majority owner, ConSolTec GmbH (ConSolTec) that we originally executed on August 24, 2010, which sets forth terms related to a proposed transaction pursuant to which we and ConSolTec would establish a newly formed holding
company, with us as the controlling equity holder, to create a solar panel manufacturing, distribution and sales entity to service global markets (the Asola LOI). The assets of the new entity would include Asola and Quantum Solar as
wholly-owned subsidiaries. Under the proposed terms of the Asola LOI, the transaction is contingent upon several conditions including our ability to raise a certain level of capital in order to provide compensation to ConSolTec and to provide
sufficient equity capital to the new entity to enable the entitys expansion into additional global markets. The Asola LOI, as amended, contemplated a transaction completion date of June 30, 2011. We are currently seeking an extension of
time to complete the transactions contemplated by the Asola LOI.

Prior to the execution of the Asola LOI, we provided
Asola and ConSolTec with written notice on December 28, 2009, that we were exercising our right to increase our ownership interest in Asola to 32.66% in

exchange for payment of 0.1 million euro. The transaction to increase our ownership interest by 7.76% has not yet been completed and we have reserved our right to withdraw the exercise
pending the outcome of the Asola LOI.

In December 2010, we acquired a 24.9% interest in Asola Quantum Solarpower AG (AQS) in
exchange for a cash payment of 24,900 euro. AQS was established to serve as a holding company for certain divisions of Asolas current business and Asolas anticipated expansion. Our current ownership in AQS is equal to the current
ownership interest we have in Asola and as such, we include AQS as part of our overall disclosures for our investments in and advances to Asola for reporting purposes.

The conversion rate of one euro to one US Dollar was 1.48 to 1.0 as of April 30, 2011 and 1.32 to 1.0 as of April 30, 2010. We account for our equity interest in Asola under the equity method of
accounting. Although Asola is a variable interest entity, we are not considered the primary beneficiary.

Asola maintains its
books and records on a calendar year basis and has reported annual financial results under German generally accepted accounting principles for calendar 2009 and 2010 (unaudited) and interim financial results for the first four months of calendar
2011 (unaudited) as follows:

Our equity in net earnings of Asola was US$0.1 million and US$1.1 million for fiscal years 2009 and 2010,
respectively, and our equity in net losses of Asola was US$0.2 million for fiscal 2011. Our equity in net earnings or losses differs from the 24.9% of the net income (loss) shown in the tables above due to adjustments to equity in net earnings
(losses) related to differences between German generally accepted accounting principles and US GAAP. Such differences are adjusted for in calculating our equity in earnings (losses) under US GAAP.

Asola Solar Cell Supply Agreement

Our affiliate, Asola, has a certain long-term solar cell supply agreement dated November 1, 2007 (Supply Agreement) with one of its suppliers of solar cells for Asolas solar module
manufacturing operations. We have a related unconditional commitment under a November 2007 agreement with Asola to purchase one-half of the solar cells and to provide our share of prepayments totaling 4.5 million euro to Asola in connection the
Supply Agreement. Our agreement to purchase one-half of Asolas rights and obligations under Asolas long-term Supply Agreement provides us with the rights to purchase 77.5 megawatts (MW) of solar cells.

As of the date of these financial statements, we had provided Asola with
3.0 million euro for our share of prepayments under the Supply Agreement. The remaining 1.5 million euro was due on September 1, 2009 but, as discussed in more detail below, the Supply Agreement is currently in dispute. We have not
purchased any solar cells under our agreement with Asola and we are still obligated to provide an additional 1.5 million Euro to Asola to satisfy our share of the September 1, 2009 prepayment required under the Supply Agreement. Asola has
not initiated or threatened to take any action against us in connection with our obligations under our agreement with Asola.

Beginning in calendar 2009, the worldwide supply of solar cells increased and suppliers in the industry lowered prices for both the
immediate delivery of solar cells and for longer term solar cell purchase arrangements. As a result of these price declines, the spot rates of solar cells for immediate delivery are significantly below the purchase prices that are specified under
the Supply Agreement. The Supply Agreement includes a loyalty clause that states that if a provision of the Supply Agreement proves to be unreasonable for one of the parties to the agreement, then any such circumstance will be taken
account of in a fair and reasonable way. Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, Asola was required to take delivery of solar cells with a combined power of 4.0 million watts in calendar 2009 and 10.0 million watts in calendar 2010. Asola has
not taken delivery of these cells and has claimed that the loyalty clause requires that the supplier amend the prices specified under the Supply Agreement in a reasonable manner. The matter reached an impasse with the supplier and is
currently working its way through the German legal system. In August 2010, a settlement and oral hearing was held which did not change our view that we do not have a loss contract that requires a charge to be recognized.

If Asola is unable to successfully modify its remaining commitments under the Supply Agreement, we may have to record a charge in the
future equal to the sum of our prepayments made to date, plus the remaining unconditional commitments, less the estimated net realizable value of the solar cells to be acquired under our agreement with Asola. This amount cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time based on the uncertainty with forecasting future market prices over the remaining period of the Supply Agreement. However, we currently believe that the range of a potential charge that we could be required to recognize would
be limited to $11.4 million, which amount represents the total of all solar cell prepayments and other advances made by us to Asola, plus our net investment in Asola at April 30, 2011. If we complete the transaction as contemplated under the
Asola LOI, the amount of potential loss that we could be exposed to under the Supply Agreement would increase as a result of us acquiring an anticipated controlling equity ownership in Asola. Although we do not intend to purchase any cells from
Asola or make the scheduled prepayment that was due to Asola in September 2009 in connection with the Supply Agreement until the contractual matter discussed above is resolved, our unconditional remaining obligations, including amounts in arrears
and prior to any modifications discussed above, to purchase solar cells from Asola and provide our share of prepayments to Asola over the remaining life of the Supply Agreement (in euros and in US dollars based on the currency exchange rate as of
April 30, 2011) is as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Secured Loan to Asola

We provided Asola with a loan in the amount of US$2.2 million on September 26, 2008 for the purpose of assisting Asola in meeting its
September 2008 prepayment obligation under the Supply Agreement. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note and is guaranteed by ConSolTec, which guaranty is secured by ConSolTecs pledge of all of its ownership interest in Quantum Solar. Per
the stated terms of the note, the loan accrues interest at a 6.0% annualized rate and was set to mature upon the earlier of Asolas completion of a capital raise of at least 20.0 million euro or March 31, 2010. Although Asola has not
repaid the loan in accordance with the stated terms and we do not expect repayment over the next twelve months, we still consider the outstanding balance to be fully collectible. As a result, we classify the loan in noncurrent assets as part of the
investment in and advances to affiliate on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at April 30, 2010 and April 30, 2011.

Rollforward of Investment In and Advances to Asola

We recorded our initial
investment in Asola at cost and adjust the carrying amount of the investment to recognize advances we provide to Asola, the impacts of foreign currency translation, our investment in AQS, and our share of the earnings or losses of Asola (including
AQS) after the date of acquiring the ownership interest. The activity and carrying balances for the three year period ended April 30, 2011 is as follows:

Intangibles

We amortize specifically identified intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

In connection with the acquisition of SPI, we identified $8.6 million of project assets associated with SPIs renewable
energy portfolio that we have classified as an intangible asset of the Renewable Energy reporting segment. The intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis of 20 years. During fiscal 2011, we amortized
the asset by $0.4 million which was offset by an increase of $0.4 million in connection with foreign currency translation. As of April 30, 2011, the net unamortized balance of the intangible asset was $8.6 million.

The issuance of shares in calendar 2002 related to our strategic alliance with General Motors was recorded as an intangible asset at the
estimated fair market value on the dates of issuance and was being amortized over the ten-year term of the strategic alliance agreement with General Motors until the remaining balance of $5.8 million was written off in connection with an impairment
assessment as of January 31, 2009.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

During fiscal 2011 we capitalized $1.2 million of construction related activities on the Spring Bay wind farm project that was scheduled
to be operational in April 2011; however, project activities on the wind farm were suspended during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 due to a lack of sufficient capital to complete the project and the project was abandoned. As a result of the
abandonment, we recognized a charge of $1.0 million in fiscal 2011 in the Renewable Energy segment for the impairment of long-lived assets related to the project, of which $0.8 million was associated with construction in progress. The impairment was
based on construction related costs and fees incurred to date that were considered non-recoverable as a result of the abandonment of the project. The remaining balance of construction in progress associated with the Spring Bay wind farm project
after the recognition of the impairment, amounting to $0.4 million and which related to certain deposit payments made to the electrical transmission supplier, was recovered in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

We believe that no other event or circumstance exists that would indicate a potential impairment of the carrying values of goodwill,
intangible assets, or any other significant long-lived asset as of April 30, 2011.

9. Warranties

We offer a warranty for all of our alternative fuel products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending on the
platform and model year. Warranty is provided for under terms similar to those offered by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to its customers. We estimate the costs that may be incurred under our warranty provisions and record a liability in
the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim.

We generally disclaim all warranties on our prototype hydrogen fuel storage systems. At our discretion or under certain programs, we may
provide for the replacement cost or perform additional tests of prototype component parts subsequent to product delivery. We include an estimate of these types of arrangements as part of our warranty liability. We periodically assess the adequacy of
our recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary.

We have entered into various borrowing arrangements with our senior lender over the course of the three
year period covered by these financial statements. These arrangements have been modified on several occasions throughout this period as discussed below in order to enhance our borrowing capacity and to minimize the level of cash required to service
the outstanding obligations over a reasonable period of time.

Fiscal 2011

The following disclosures: (i) discuss the Forbearance Agreement that we executed with our senior lender on January 3, 2011 and
that terminated on April 29, 2011; (ii) reflect the status of borrowing arrangements on an instrument by instrument basis as they existed at the beginning of fiscal 2011; and (iii) provide a summary of the significant modifications
and payment activities related to the outstanding debt instruments during fiscal 2011.

Forbearance Agreement with Senior
Lender

On December 31, 2010, we defaulted on the required repayment of the 2010 Bridge Loans, which in turn, caused
contractual defaults on all of our senior secured obligations with our senior lender. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, Term Note B and the Consent Fee Term Note, upon the occurrence of an event of default, our senior lender had the
right to declare the entire amounts outstanding under these debt instruments immediately due and payable.

On January 3,
2011 and as a result of the defaults, we executed a Forbearance Agreement with our senior lender to which our senior lender agreed to forbear from accelerating the maturity dates for any portion of the senior secured obligations and from exercising
any of its rights and remedies until April 30, 2011 (the Forbearance Period), subject to certain conditions, and we restructured our portfolio of debt instruments with our senior lender. The defaults under our agreements with our
senior lender were cured and the Forbearance Agreement terminated in connection with us paying off the remaining principal and interest balance of the 2010 Bridge Notes (discussed below) on April 29, 2011.

In connection with the January 3, 2011 debt restructure, the Convertible Notes were modified to extend the maturity dates from
July 31, 2011 to August 31, 2011 and the fixed conversion prices were reduced from $14.20 to $9.80; the unused Lender Commitment was terminated; the senior lender provided us with a new $5.0 million non-revolving line of credit; and we
issued warrants to the senior lender to purchase up to 277,777 shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $9.00.

We determined that the Forbearance Agreement and the restructure of the outstanding debt instruments that were all negotiated at the same
time required that we assess the impact of the modifications and replacement instruments on the entire portfolio of debt instruments with our senior lender as a whole and the debt instruments on an individual basis. Although we determined that the
lender did not provide a concession in connection with the transactions completed on January 3, 2011 and that the modifications to the existing debt portfolio as a whole was not substantial, we concluded on an individual basis that the
modifications to the Convertible Notes (discussed further below) were substantial and represented an implied exchange of the existing convertible note instruments held by the senior lender with new convertible debt instruments. A net loss on
extinguishment of $0.5 million was recognized in connection with the January 3, 2011 transactions as follows:



|                                                                               |  |   |            |

Convertible Notes

We have three outstanding convertible promissory notes which we refer to as Convertible Note I (initially issued on January 31,
2007), Convertible Note II (initially issued on July 10, 2009), and Convertible Note III (initially issued on July 10, 2009). We refer to these three convertible notes collectively as the Convertible Notes. Each of the
Convertible Notes has identical contractual terms for the remainder of the arrangements.

The significant contractual terms of
the amended Convertible Notes as of April 30, 2010 were as follows: (i) annual fixed interest rates of 11.5% through August 31, 2010 (consisting of required minimum payments-in-kind (PIK) of 5.0% and cash or PIK options of 6.5%),
declining to 9.5% thereafter as a result of scheduled decreases in the required minimum PIK from 5.0 % to 3.0%, (ii) scheduled semi-annual interest payment dates on January 1 and July 1 of each year until maturity and the
principal under the notes cannot be prepaid in part or whole by us without consent of our senior lender, (iii) scheduled maturity dates of March 31, 2011, (iv) senior lender had the right to extend the scheduled maturity dates to
August 31, 2013, subject to proper notice by March 15, 2011, and (v) outstanding principal under the Convertible Notes convertible into shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $14.20 per share at any time until
maturity at the option of the senior lender.

Since the date that the Convertible Notes were modified on April 30, 2010,
we have classified the value, if any, of the embedded conversion features of the notes as equity.

On July 8, 2010, the
Convertible Notes and the Consent Fee Term Note (discussed below) were amended in exchange for a debt modification fee payable to the senior lender. We satisfied the debt modification fee with the issuance of 83,000 shares of our common stock to the
senior lender that had a fair value of $0.9 million on the modification date and recorded the fair value of the fee as a deferred asset. The Convertible Notes were revised to amend the stated maturity dates from March 31, 2011 to July 31,
2011. We determined that the amendments to the Convertible Notes on July 8, 2010 were not substantial and did not represent an implied exchange of debt instruments. However, we reduced the balances of the unamortized debt premiums under the
Convertible Notes as of July 8, 2010 by approximately $0.1 million, which equaled the immediate increase in fair value of the embedded conversion features under the Convertible Notes as a result of the modifications. The net balances of the
debt premiums and the fair value of the debt modification fee allocated to the Convertible Notes were being amortized through the then scheduled maturity date of July 31, 2011 until the remaining unamortized balances were written off on
January 3, 2011 in connection with further modifications to the Convertible Notes.

On January 3, 2011, in
connection with the Forbearance Agreement discussed above, the following modifications were made to the convertible notes: (i) the maturity dates were changed from July 31, 2011 to August 31, 2011, (ii) the fixed conversion
prices were reduced from $14.20 to $9.80, and (iii) the date that the senior lender had to provide proper notice to extend the scheduled maturity dates at its option to August 31, 2013, was changed from March 15, 2011 to
April 15, 2011. We accounted for the modifications as an implied exchange of the existing debt instruments associated with the Convertible Notes with new debt instruments which resulted in a charge of $1.4 million that is included as part of
the net loss on extinguishment representing the difference between the carrying amount of the existing notes and the fair value of the modified notes at the time of extinguishment.

On July 1, 2010 and January 1, 2011, we elected to add the entire amount of accrued interest of $0.6 million and $0.6 million,
respectively, to principal under the Convertible Notes that was payable on the scheduled semi-annual interest payment date in accordance with the PIK provisions contained within the notes.

Term Note B

As of April 30, 2010, and up until the time the note was fully repaid on June 2, 2011, the significant contractual terms of Term
Note B that was initially issued on January 16, 2008 were as follows: (i) fixed interest rate of 6.5% payable monthly in arrears, (ii) scheduled maturity date of January 16, 2015, (iii) the note had no scheduled principal
amortization payments before maturity; however, our senior lender with proper notice had the option to demand all or part of the principal amount due under the note at any time, (iv) the note could be repaid in cash or restricted shares at our
option, subject to certain conditions, including that our share price must have been at least $10.00 for five consecutive business days prior to the payment date; however, this specific condition was only applicable for principal demands made by the
senior lender after January 16, 2012, (v) we had the right to make prepayments under the note beginning on January 16, 2012 (the First Call Date), and (vi) when demand for payment or a prepayment was made, the
principal amount due under Term Note B was subject to upward adjustment based upon the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for our common stock for the five business days immediately prior to the repayment date (the VWAP Price). When
demand for payment was made by the senior lender, the actual amount required to be paid in satisfaction of the amount so demanded was equal to the greater of (A) 1.0 and (B) 0.075 multiplied by the lesser of (x) the VWAP for our
common stock for the five business days immediately prior to the repayment date and (y) $70.00. We referred to the required formula as the Term Note B principal multiplier feature.

Beginning on January 19, 2011 and through the date of May 23, 2011, the senior lender made principal reduction demands that
required us to pay the entire remaining principal balance of the note, totaling $5.6 million, in separate demands ranging from $0.3 million to $0.5 million. The principal balance was reduced by a total of $3.8 million in connection with demands made
through April 30, 2011 and by $1.8 million for demands made between May 12, 2011 and May 23, 2011. For each demand, we elected to use our shares to satisfy the principal demands. We issued a total of 1,217,221 shares to satisfy the
principal repayment demands of which 817,805 shares were issued in fiscal 2011. The number of shares that we issued in connection with each demand was equal to the actual amount required to be paid divided by the VWAP Price, which ranged from $3.05
to $9.37 per share for each of the demands made. Based on the formula discussed above, the principal multiplier had no intrinsic value for any of the demands made by the senior lender as the amount payable would have only increased above the face
value of the principal demanded if our VWAP Price would have been above $13.20 per share. The payment of the principal demands in shares resulted in an overall gain of $0.1 million in fiscal 2011, which represented the difference between the fair
value of the shares delivered and the amount of principal settled.

Term Note B had characteristics of and acted consistent
with the types of debt securities generally considered to be convertible debt instruments primarily as a result of the embedded principal multiplier feature which provided the senior lender with potential additional value for their investment in
connection with increases in our share price in a manner consistent with conversion features under typical convertible note instruments. Further, the share settlement provisions and below market interest rate structure of Term Note B was consistent
with convertible debt instruments. As such, we considered the note to be a convertible debt instrument in applying applicable accounting guidance. From the date that the note was last modified on April 30, 2010 through the date the remaining
principal was repaid in connection with the last demand made on May 23, 2011, we classified the value, if any, of the embedded principal multiplier feature as a component of equity.

Consent Fee Term Note

The terms of our credit facilities with our senior lender required that we obtain the consent of our senior lender prior to entering into the Arrangement Agreement with SPI (see Note 2). On
November 24, 2009, we and our senior lender executed a consent fee arrangement under which the senior lender agreed to give its consent to



F-29

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



the proposed business combination. The consent fee was $3.0 million unless the business combination agreement was terminated in which case the consent fee would have automatically been reduced to
$1.5 million. The consent fee was paid by delivery of a promissory term note (the Consent Fee Term Note) on November 24, 2009.

At April 30, 2010 the significant contractual terms of the Consent Fee Term Note were as follows: (i) note accrues interest at 0.0% per annum for the first full year and at 6.0% thereafter,
(ii) scheduled maturity date of January 16, 2015, (iii) the note has no scheduled principal amortization payments before maturity; however, our senior lender with proper notice had the option to demand all or part of the principal
amount due under the note beginning after July 1, 2010 if the VWAP for our common stock for the five business days preceding the date that a demand was made would have been above $10.00 at the time of the demand, otherwise, the senior lender
could not make demand until March 31, 2011, (iv) the note can be repaid in cash or restricted shares at our option, subject to certain conditions, including that our share price must be at least $10.00 for five consecutive business days
prior to the payment date; however, this specific condition is only applicable for principal demands made by the senior lender after March 31, 2011, (v) we have the right to make prepayments under the note beginning after January 16,
2012, and (vi) when demand for payment or a prepayment is made, the principal amount due under the Consent Fee Term Note is subject to upward adjustment based upon the VWAP for our common stock for the five business days immediately prior to
the repayment date. When demand for payment is made by the senior lender or called by us, the actual amount required to be paid in satisfaction of the amount so demanded or called is equal to the greater of (a) the amount so demanded or called
and (b) that amount determined by multiplying the principal amount so demanded or called by 0.04, with that product then multiplied by the lesser of (x) the VWAP Price and (y) $50.00.

We refer to the required formula discussed above as the Consent Fee Term Note principal multiplier feature. If we elect to pay in stock,
then the number of shares to be issued is equal to the actual amount required to be paid (determined in accordance with the above formula) divided by the VWAP Price. Based on the foregoing formula, the principal multiplier only increases the amount
payable above the face value of the note (i.e. has intrinsic value) when our VWAP Price is above $25.00 per share.

Similar to Term Note B, the Consent Fee Term Note is also considered to be a convertible debt instrument in applying applicable
accounting guidance. Since the date that the acquisition of SPI was completed on April 16, 2010, which resolved a contingency in the contractual terms of the original note, we classify the value, if any, of the embedded principal multiplier
feature as equity.

A debt discount, initially recognized at $0.5 million upon the issuance of the note in November 2009, was
fully amortized through July 1, 2010 which was the first possible date that the senior lender could demand repayment of the note under the original terms of the note.

On July 8, 2010, the earliest date specified in the original Consent Fee Term Note that the senior lender could make a demand if our VWAP Price was below $10.00 was amended from March 31, 2011
to July 31, 2011. We determined that there was no change in the fair value of the embedded principal multiplier as a result of the debt modification and determined that the amendment to the Consent Fee Term Note was not substantial and did not
represent an implied exchange of debt instruments.

As of April 30, 2011, the minimum amount of principal that is payable
through the maturity date under the principal multiplier feature is $3.0 million and the maximum amount of principal that is potentially payable under the principal multiplier feature is $6.0 million (assuming that the VWAP Price is at or above
$50.00). The principal multiplier feature under the note did not have any intrinsic value as of this date.

Non-Revolving Line of Credit

On January 3, 2011 and in connection with the execution of the Forbearance Agreement and the debt restructure with our senior lender,
our senior lender agreed to provide us with a new $5.0 million non-revolving line of credit (the LOC). The original terms under the LOC were as follows: (i) we could request advances on the line at any time prior to April 30,
2011; (ii) outstanding advances would not bear interest (unless an event of default occurs, in which case the interest rate would be 10% per annum); (iii) the LOC would mature on April 30, 2011; (iv) advances under the LOC
were secured by substantially all of our assets; and (v) pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, we were precluded from using the proceeds from the LOC to pay any portion of the principal and interest due under the Bridge Notes.

We received $2.5 million in advances under the LOC on January 10, 2011. Our senior lender participated in the private
placement that we completed on February 18, 2011 and purchased $2.0 million of our securities. The senior lenders $2.0 million of purchase price was satisfied by reducing, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, a portion of the balance due under
the LOC. Concurrent with the closing of the February 2011 private placement, the LOC and our ability to request advances thereunder was terminated.

As a result of the senior lenders participation in the February 2011 private placement, a loss of $1.6 million on settlement of debt and derivative instruments held by the senior lender was
recognized as follows:

On February 25, 2011, we used a portion of the cash proceeds received in the private placement to
repay the remaining $0.5 million balance under the LOC. A debt discount, initially recognized at $0.3 million upon the execution of the LOC on January 3, 2011, was being amortized through the then scheduled maturity date of April 30, 2011
until the remaining unamortized balance was written off on February 25, 2011 in connection with the termination of the LOC.

2010 Investor Bridge Term Loans

On October 13, 2010 and
October 19, 2010, we received total cumulative gross proceeds of $4.0 million in connection with the closing of a private placement transaction with certain accredited investors in exchange for issuing senior subordinated bridge notes payable
(collectively, the 2010 Bridge Notes) and warrants to the investors. The significant terms of the 2010 Bridge Notes on the origination dates were as follows: (i) scheduled maturity dates of December 31, 2010, (ii) interest
at 15.0% per annum, payable in cash upon maturity, (iii) principal payable in cash and could not be prepaid, (iv) no conversion rights by note holders, and (v) notes were subordinate to outstanding obligations under debt
instruments held by our senior lender.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



We incurred direct issuance costs of $0.7 million in connection with the private
placement transaction of which we allocated $0.6 million to the 2010 Bridge Notes which was amortized to interest expense over the scheduled life of the notes of December 31, 2010 with the remaining $0.1 million allocated to the warrants issued
to the investors of the 2010 Bridge Notes (see Note 12). In addition, we recorded a debt discount on the origination date of the 2010 Bridge Notes equal to the fair value of the warrants issued with the 2010 Bridge Notes of $0.2 million that was
amortized through December 31, 2010.

On December 31, 2010, we defaulted in payment of certain principal and accrued
interest due under the 2010 Bridge Notes (the Bridge Notes Default).

On January 18, 2011, we and each of the
holders of the 2010 Bridge Notes entered into an amendment to the 2010 Bridge Notes, which cured the Bridge Notes Default. Pursuant to the terms of the amendments to the 2010 Bridge Notes which are dated January 12, 2011, we agreed to repay the
principal and interest in three installments as follows: (i) 25% of the original principal amount was paid in cash upon execution of the amendments, (ii) 35% of the original principal was paid in cash on February 15, 2011, and
(iii) the remaining principal and accrued interest in the amount of $1.9 million was paid in cash on April 29, 2011. Although the holders of the 2010 Bridge Notes had the option to elect to receive the final payment in cash or shares of
our common stock, none of the holders elected to receive shares. If a holder had elected to receive shares, the holder was entitled to receive a cash make-whole payment, which, when added to the value of the shares so received, would
have equaled the full amount of the remaining outstanding principal and interest due to the holder on April 29, 2011. The holders option to receive the final principal and accrued interest payment in cash or shares was determined to be an
embedded derivative instrument that should be bifurcated and separately accounted for as of the amendment date. The fair value of the conversion feature at January 18, 2011 was $0.1 million (see Note 11).

In connection with the amendment to the 2010 Bridge Notes on January 18, 2011, we issued warrants to the bridge note holders, with
an effective date of January 12, 2011, to purchase up to 131,902 shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $9.20, with a fair value of $0.8 million, and we agreed to issue up to 22,500 shares of our common stock, with a fair value
of $0.2 million, to the placement agent for professional services in connection with the 2010 Bridge Note amendments.

We
concluded from our analysis of the transactions completed on January 18, 2011 that amended the terms of the 2010 Bridge Notes, including the addition of a substantive conversion feature, and the issuance of warrants to the bridge note investors
and the agreement to issue common shares to the placement agent that: (1) the bridge note holders did not provide a concession in connection with the transactions and (2) the modifications to the 2010 Bridge Notes were substantial and
represented an implied exchange of the existing debt instruments held by the bridge note holders with new debt instruments. A loss on extinguishment of $1.0 million was recognized in connection with the January 18, 2011 transactions as follows:



|                                                             |  |   |         |

The loss on extinguishment is recorded as a component of loss on modification of debt and
derivative instruments, net on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The portion of the debt issuance
cost associated with the agreement to issue shares to the placement agent allocated to the debt component of the transactions, amounting to $0.2 million, was deferred and was amortized over the life of the amended 2010 Bridge Notes that matured on
April 29, 2011.

Bank Term Loan

In connection with our acquisition of SPI on April 16, 2010, we assumed a bank term loan that had an original principal amount of
Canadian Dollar (CAD) 1.5 million upon its inception on April 3, 2007. The note accrues interest at a fixed rate of 7.0%; requires fixed payments of CAD 13,482 per month in cash through March 10, 2012, with the remaining
principal amount of CAD 1.2 million due in cash on the maturity date of April 3, 2012. The loan is secured by power generation machinery and equipment and other assets of SPIs Providence Bay wind farm project. The conversion rate of
one CAD to one US Dollar was 0.995 to 1.0 as of April 30, 2010 and 1.052 to 1.0 as of April 30, 2011.

Lender
Commitment

On May 30, 2008, we secured a $10.0 million commitment from an affiliate of our senior lender (the
Lender Commitment) that allowed us to draw on the commitment at our option and also allowed the senior lender to fund the commitment at the senior lenders option under certain defined structures. The Lender Commitment was
terminated on January 3, 2011 in connection with the Forbearance Agreement and debt restructure discussed above. Neither party had exercised its option prior to the termination of the commitment.

Prior to the termination, the option for either party under the Lender Commitment, as modified on November 24, 2009, was set to
expire on March 31, 2011. The terms of the amended Lender Commitment from November 24, 2009 until it was terminated on January 3, 2011 were as follows: (a) if we had drawn on the commitment, the senior lender had the right to
make the investment as either: (i) a two year secured convertible note, the conversion price fixed at $14.20 per share, with the coupon on the note equal to 18.0% or (ii) a senior secured straight note that redeemed in cash at 130% of face
value after one year; (b) we had the right to only exercise up to $2.5 million in any 30 day period and we were required to provide the senior lender with a five day notice period of our intent to draw on the commitment; (c) in exchange
for extending the commitment, the senior lender had a put option to make a $10.0 million investment that would have been structured as a non-interest bearing convertible note priced at 100.0% of par and redeemable at 120.0% of par two
years after the funding date and the note under this structure would have converted into our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $14.20 per share.

The written put option, which had allowed the senior lender to make a $10.0 million cash payment to us in exchange for a debt instrument in the form of a convertible note, was considered to be a
derivative instrument. Accordingly, the fair value of the instrument was recognized as a non-current derivative liability and marked to market each period (see Note 11) until it was terminated. We recognized a gain on extinguishment of the
derivative instrument of $2.6 million which represented the fair value of the lenders put option at the time the Lender Commitment was terminated.

Collateral and Covenants

Our obligations under the debt instruments with
our senior lender and senior subordinated debt holders are secured by substantially all our assets. In addition, our obligations under the Bank Term Loan assumed on April 16, 2010 are secured by the assets of SPI. The defaults under our
agreements with our senior lender were all cured and the Forbearance Agreement terminated in connection with us paying off the remaining principal and interest balance of the 2010 Bridge Notes on April 29, 2011. Further, we were in compliance
with existing covenants and other requirements of the debt instruments with our senior lender and our bank lender as of April 30, 2011.

Long-Term Debt Activity in Prior Fiscal Periods

The following summarizes the impact of significant modifications and other activities related to the debt instruments covering fiscal 2010
and 2009.

Fiscal 2010

Convertible Note I

At April 30, 2009, the significant contractual
terms of Convertible Note I were as follows: (i) annual interest rate of 11.5%, consisting of a required minimum payment-in-kind (PIK) of 5.0% and a cash or PIK option of 6.5%, which annual interest rate is reduced to 9.5% effective
September 1, 2010, (ii) scheduled semi-annual interest payment dates on January 1 and July 1 of each year until maturity and the principal could not be prepaid in part or whole by us without consent of our senior lender (also
referred to as the holder), (iii) scheduled maturity date of August 1, 2009, (iv) holder had the right to extend the scheduled maturity date, subject to proper notice by May 15, 2009, for an additional three years (if
exercised, the required minimum PIK would have been thereafter lowered to 3.0%; thus reducing the annual interest rate to 9.5%), (v) outstanding principal under the note convertible into shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of
$27.00 per share at any time until maturity at the option of the holder, and (vi) for conversions prior to the maturity date, additional shares to be provided to the holder pursuant to a Make-Whole Amount provision, a feature
available to the holder as an incentive to convert all or part of the balance due under the note prior to its maturity.

The
contractual provisions of Convertible Note I, as originally issued and including all amendments through April 30, 2010, also required us to (1) cause the shares delivered upon conversion of principal due under the Convertible Note I to be
duly listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (or any successor trading market) concurrently with the issuance of such shares and (2) ensure that the holder may resell such shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (subject to any
applicable holding period). We determined that compliance with these contractual requirements was not within our control (for the period January 16, 2008 through April 30, 2010). Therefore, under GAAP, we had to assume net cash settlement
could have been required to satisfy the value of the conversion feature as we could not ensure that we would be in compliance with the provisions at the time of conversion by the holder. As a result, the embedded conversion feature was bifurcated by
us, classified as a derivative liability measured at fair value and the liability was marked to market each period, with changes in fair value recognized in the respective periods statement of operations until the note was modified on
April 30, 2010 at which time the embedded conversion feature no longer met the definition of a derivative and was reclassified from debt to equity (discussed below).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



On July 10, 2009, Convertible Note I was amended in connection with debt
modifications to other existing debt instruments with our senior lender and additional financing received from the senior lender. The significant amendments were: (i) the conversion price was reset from $27.00 to $14.20 per share; (ii) the
Make-Whole Amount provision was eliminated, (iii) the scheduled maturity date was extended from August 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010; and (iv) the holder of Convertible Note I was given the right to extend the scheduled
maturity date (the similar right in the existing note had expired in May 2009) for an additional three years. If exercised, the required minimum PIK would thereafter be lowered to 3.0%; thus reducing the annual interest rate to 9.5%.

The modifications executed on July 10, 2009 immediately increased the value of the embedded derivative feature under Convertible
Note I by $3.1 million which we recognized as a loss on modification of derivative instruments during fiscal 2010.

We
determined that the amendments to Convertible Note I on July 10, 2009, in combination with modifications to other debt instruments that were negotiated together, were not substantial and did not represent an implied exchange of debt
instruments. For purposes of this analysis, we excluded the impact that the modifications had on the embedded features accounted for as derivative instruments as the change in fair value of the derivative instruments resulting from the modifications
was immediately recognized as a loss on modification of derivative instruments.

On November 24, 2009, Convertible Note
I, together with Convertible Note II and Convertible Note III (discussed below), were amended to change the maturity dates from August 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. All three of these convertible notes have the same remaining contractual
terms and provisions. We determined that the amendments to the three convertible notes on November 24, 2009, in combination with the issuance of new debt (see Consent Fee Term Note discussed below) and modifications to other debt
instruments that were negotiated together, represented an implied exchange of debt instruments. As a result, we recognized a combined loss on modification of debt and derivative instruments of $5.1 million on November 24, 2009, of which $1.3
million represented the amount associated with the implied exchange of the convertible notes.

On April 30, 2010 the
three convertible notes and Term Note B were amended. The convertible notes were amended to clarify that we would not be obligated under any circumstances to settle the value of the embedded conversion features of the notes in cash and that the
exercise of the holders conversion rights would be considered fully settled by the issuance of our shares (including unregistered shares and shares designated as restricted), regardless of any other characteristics of
the shares. As a result of the modifications, the embedded conversion features no longer meet the definition of a derivative and the fair value of the conversion features were reclassified to equity effective as of the close of business on
April 30, 2010 (see Note 11). We determined that the amendments to the three convertible notes and Term Note B on April 30, 2010 were not substantial and did not represent an implied exchange of debt instruments that would require
extinguishment accounting on the modification date, nor did they change the fair value of the instruments by more than a nominal amount.

On July 8, 2010, the three outstanding convertible notes were further amended to revise the stated maturity dates from March 31, 2011 to July 31, 2011.

Term Note A / Convertible Note II

At April 30, 2009, the significant contractual terms of Term Note A (initially issued on January 31, 2007) were as follows: (i) fixed interest rate of 18.0% payable monthly in arrears,
(ii) scheduled maturity date of February 28, 2010, (iii) principal installment payments of $4.3 million due on May 15, 2009 and monthly installments of $0.4 million, beginning on June 15, 2009 and thereafter, until the
balance was paid in full, (iv) we

had the right to prepay all or part of the principal without penalty and had the option to repay the scheduled principal amounts or prepayments in cash or with shares of our common stock, subject
to certain conditions, and (v) we had the right to defer scheduled payments for up to two months, subject to certain conditions.

Although we had the ability and the right to make any prepayments of principal or satisfy any scheduled principal installments in shares under Term Note A, we and our senior lender agreed to defer the
scheduled May 15, 2009 principal installment payment and agreed to retime the installment payments and reduce the stated interest rate from 18.0% to 9.0%. Pursuant to an amendment executed on May 27, 2009, principal installments were
revised to require monthly payments of $1.0 million effective beginning on June 15, 2009 and thereafter, until the balance was paid in full and the change in the stated interest rate was made effective as of May 20, 2009. In addition, our
right to prepay the note in shares was revised to thereafter require that any prepayments could only be made in cash and our existing right to defer scheduled installment payments for up to two months was eliminated. We determined that the
amendments to Term Note A in May 2009 were not substantial and did not represent an implied exchange of debt instruments that would require extinguishment accounting on the modification dates.

On June 15, 2009 we issued 74,423 shares in satisfaction of a required payment of $1.1 million under Term Note A (which included
$0.1 million of accrued interest).

On July 10, 2009 the outstanding principal balance and unpaid interest under Term
Note A, amounting to $6.6 million, was reduced to zero and replaced in that same amount with a new convertible debt instrument referred to as Convertible Note II. The stated terms of Convertible Note II are identical to the terms of Convertible Note
I, as amended. The replacement of the remaining balance on Term Note A with a new convertible note was executed in connection with debt modifications to other existing debt instruments with our senior lender and additional financing received from
the senior lender.

Consistent with the treatment of the embedded conversion feature under Convertible Note I, the embedded
conversion feature under Convertible Note II was bifurcated and classified as a derivative liability upon the issuance of the note up until the time the note was modified on April 30, 2010. The fair value of the derivative liability upon
issuance, amounting to $2.9 million, was recognized by us as a loss on modification of derivative instruments during fiscal 2010.

Convertible Note III

On July 10, 2009, in connection with debt
modifications to other existing debt instruments, we issued a new convertible note (Convertible Note III) to our senior lender and received proceeds of $3.0 million. The stated terms of Convertible Note III are identical to the terms of Convertible
Note I, as amended, except that the maturity date would have moved up to October 1, 2009 from August 31, 2010 if we were unable to raise at least $5.0 million in an equity offering of our shares prior to October 1, 2009. We satisfied
this requirement with the private placement offering transaction completed on September 4, 2009 (see Note 1) in which proceeds from the transaction exceeded this required amount.

Consistent with the treatment of the embedded conversion features under Convertible Notes I and II, the embedded conversion feature under
Convertible Note III was bifurcated and classified as a derivative liability upon the issuance of the note up until the time the note was modified on April 30, 2010. The fair value of the derivative liability upon issuance, amounting to $1.0
million (net of the implied discount on the host debt instrument of $0.3 million), was recognized as a loss on modification of derivative instruments during the fiscal 2010.

Term Note B

At April 30, 2009, the significant contractual terms of Term Note B were as follows: (i) fixed interest rate of 6.5% payable
monthly in arrears, (ii) scheduled maturity date of January 16, 2015, (iii) the note could be repaid in cash or shares at our option, subject to certain conditions, including that our share price must be at least $10.00 for five
consecutive business days prior to the payment date (iv) the note had no scheduled principal amortization payments before maturity; however, our senior lender with proper notice had the option to demand all or part of the principal amount due
under the note beginning on January 16, 2010, and (v) we had the right to make prepayments under the note beginning on January 17, 2010 (the First Call Date).

The terms of the required formula under the Term B principal multiplier feature were the same in fiscal 2010 as discussed for fiscal 2011
above.

On July 10, 2009, Term Note B was amended in conjunction with debt modifications to other existing debt
instruments with our senior lender and additional financing received from the senior lender. The significant amendments were: (i) the requirement that our share price must be at least $10.00 for five consecutive business days prior to the
payment date in order for us to have the right to issue shares in satisfaction of principal payments was changed to eliminate that requirement for any demands made prior to January 16, 2012, (ii) the First Call Date was changed from
January 17, 2010 to January 16, 2012 and (iii) our option to make prepayments in shares was limited to $2.0 million in any ten business day period whereas there was no limit on share prepayments after the First Call Date prior to this
most recent amendment.

We determined that the amendments to Term Note B on July 10, 2009 were not substantial and did
not represent an implied exchange of debt instruments that would require extinguishment accounting on the modification date.

On November 24, 2009, our senior lender made demand for payment of $3.9 million of principal due under Term Note B and we agreed to
waive the provision of the note which prohibited the senior lender from making demand for payment prior to January 16, 2010. This modification to waive the provision in the note, in combination with the issuance of new debt (see Consent
Fee Term Note) and modifications to other debt instruments that were negotiated together; represented an implied exchange of debt instruments. We recognized a gain on the implied exchange of Term Note B in the amount of $0.1 million on
November 24, 2009.

In accordance with the multiplier feature contained in Term Note B, the actual amount required to be
paid as a result of the November 24, 2009 demand for payment was equal to $7.4 million which was determined by multiplying the $3.9 million demanded by 0.075, with that product then multiplied by the lesser of (A) the 5 day volume-weighted
average share price for the 5 business days immediately preceding the date demand for payment was made, and (B) $70.00. For purposes of this calculation, we and our senior lender agreed to use $25.00 as the 5 day VWAP. As permitted under Term
Note B, we elected to pay the amount due under Term Note B using shares of our common stock and, as a result, issued 295,598 shares in satisfaction of the amount due. The fair value of the embedded derivative instrument associated with Term Note B
was reduced on a proportional basis to the amount of debt principal settled in a manner consistent with the methodology used to extinguish derivative liabilities under the convertible notes discussed below. In connection with shares issued to settle
the debt principal demand on November 24, 2009, the derivative instrument was reduced by $3.4 million and a loss on the settlement of the debt principal and derivative instrument of $0.2 million was recognized, which represented the difference
between the fair value of shares issued ($7.5 million) and the settlement of the liabilities ($3.9 million of debt principal and $3.4 million of derivative instrument).

On February 9, 2010, our senior lender demanded a principal reduction of $0.5 million related to Term Note B as allowed under the terms of the note. We elected to use our common stock to satisfy the
demand, which



F-37

##### Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



amounted to 37,500 shares issued to the senior lender. In connection with shares issued to settle the debt demand, the derivative instrument was reduced by $0.2 million and a gain on the
settlement of the debt principal and derivative instrument of $0.1 million was recognized, which represented the difference between the fair value of shares issued ($0.6 million) and the settlement of the liabilities ($0.5 million of debt principal
and $0.2 million of derivative instrument).

From the original issuance date of January 16, 2008 up until the time
certain modifications were executed on April 30, 2010, Term Note B contained a contract provision that required us to deliver shares that may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (subject to any applicable holding period), if we
elect to make the payment of the multiplier amount feature contained within the note using shares of our common stock. We determined that compliance with this contractual requirement was not within our control. Therefore, although we had the option
to make principal payments in shares of our common stock, we had to assume net cash settlement could have been required to satisfy the value of the principal multiplier feature as we could not control whether we would be in compliance with the share
settlement provisions at the time of repayment. As a result, the embedded principal multiplier feature was bifurcated, classified as a derivative liability measured at fair value and the liability was marked to market each period, with changes in
fair value being recognized in the respective periods statement of operations. However, on April 30, 2010, the note was modified to clarify that we would not be obligated under any circumstances to settle the value of the embedded
principal multiplier feature of the note in cash and that issuance of our shares (including unregistered shares and shares designated as restricted) in payment of the multiplier feature value would fully settle the embedded
feature, regardless of any other characteristics of the shares. As a result of the modifications, the embedded feature no longer met the definition of a derivative and the fair value of the embedded feature was reclassified to equity effective as of
the close of business on April 30, 2010.

Term Note C

At April 30, 2009, the significant contractual terms of Term Note C (originally issued on May 30, 2008) were as follows:
(i) fixed interest of 9.0% per annum, payable monthly in arrears, in cash or PIK at our option, (ii) monthly principal installments of $1.25 million beginning on June 1, 2009 and thereafter, until the balance was paid in
full, (iii) we had the right to defer scheduled payments for up to two months, subject to certain conditions, and (iv) we had the option to repay the scheduled principal reductions with shares of our common stock, subject to certain
conditions, and the value of the shares delivered was determined based on the lower of: (a) 95% of the VWAP of our stock for the five business days prior to the payment date or (b) the closing share price on the day immediately preceding
the payment due date.

The note was fully repaid in shares of our common stock in three installments as follows:
(i) 274,122 shares were issued on May 1, 2009 in satisfaction of $3.75 million of principal, (ii) 98,931 shares were issued on October 1, 2009 in satisfaction of $2.5 million of principal, and (iii) 79,596 shares were issued
on November 1, 2009 in satisfaction of $1.8 million of principal (including $0.55 million of unpaid interest added to principal under our PIK option).

Consent Fee Term Note

The terms of our credit facilities with our senior
lender required that we obtain the consent of our senior lender prior to entering into the Arrangement Agreement with SPI. On November 24, 2009, we and our senior lender executed a consent fee arrangement under which the senior lender agreed to
give its consent to the proposed business combination in exchange for a fee of $3.0 million, which was paid by the delivery of a promissory term note (the Consent Fee Term Note).



F-38

##### Table of Contents

QUANTUM FUEL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The fair value of the note, including the embedded multiplier feature, was $3.5 million
on the date of issuance and was recognized as part of the loss on modification of debt and derivative instruments on November 24, 2009 in connection with the implied exchange of debt instruments discussed above under Convertible Note I. The
debt discount, initially recognized at $0.5 million, was amortized through July 1, 2010 which is the first possible date that the senior lender could demand repayment of the note.

Since the Consent Fee Term Note contained a contingent fee arrangement from the original issuance date up until the completion of the
acquisition of SPI and the contingent fee amount was a variable other than those generally used to determine the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed forward or option on equity shares, the instrument was not considered to be indexed to our own stock
and, therefore, the instrument could not be precluded from derivative instrument consideration until the contingency was resolved. As a result, the embedded principal multiplier feature under the Consent Fee Term Note was bifurcated, classified as a
derivative liability and marked to market. The decrease in fair value of $0.7 million for the period from inception of the note on November 24, 2009 through the date that the contingency was resolved on April 16, 2010 with the completion
of our acquisition of SPI was recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as a fair value adjustment of derivative instruments (see Note 11). As a result of the resolution of the contingency, the embedded principal multiplier feature no
longer met the definition of a derivative and the fair value of the embedded feature was reclassified to equity effective as of the close of business on April 16, 2010.

Lender Commitment

On May 30, 2008, we secured a $10.0 million
commitment from an affiliate of our senior lender (the Lender Commitment) that allowed us to draw on the commitment at our option and also allowed the senior lender to fund the commitment at the senior lenders option under certain
defined structures.

As of April 30, 2009, the option for either party under the commitment was set to expire on
August 31, 2009 and consisted of the following terms: (a) should we choose to draw on the Lender Commitment, the senior lender had the right to make the investment under one of the following three investment structures: (i) receipt of
our common stock at a 25.0% discount to market price with 100.0% warrant coverage at an exercise price equal to market price at the time of funding, (ii) a two year secured convertible note, the conversion price equal to a 10.0% discount to the
market price and the coupon on the note equal to 12.0% payable in our common stock, and (iii) a senior secured straight note that redeems in cash at 120% of face value after one year; (b) in exchange for extending the commitment, we
granted to the senior lender an option to make a $10.0 million investment, which, if exercised, would have been structured as a non-interest bearing convertible note priced at 100.0% of par and redeemable at 120.0% of par two years after the funding
date (the put option). The note under this put option structure would have been convertible into our common stock at a price equal to the market price.

On July 10, 2009, the commitment was amended. The significant amendments were as follows: (i) the expiration date of the commitment was extended one year from August 31, 2009 to
August 31, 2010 and (ii) if we elected to exercise our option to borrow, the first of the three options that the senior lender could structure the note was eliminated and the terms of the other two options were modified.

On August 3, 2009, the commitment was further amended. The significant amendments were as follows: (i) our right to exercise
our option to borrow up to $10.0 million was restricted in part to only allow us to draw upon the commitment up to $2.5 million within any 30 day period. The effect of the modification was that we could still borrow up to $10.0 million; however, we
would require four draw downs over a three month period to gain the entire proceeds from the commitment, and (ii) the conversion price under the convertible note structures of either the exercise of the borrowing by us or a put by the senior
lender, was changed from market price to a

fixed conversion price of $14.20 per share. The amendment to fix the conversion price of the convertible note structure under the potential senior lender put option resulted in the recognition of
a loss on modification of the instrument of $2.6 million.

On November 24, 2009, the expiration date of the commitment
was amended from August 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. The modifications executed on November 24, 2009 immediately increased the value of the embedded written put option under the Lender Commitment by $0.4 million which we recognized as
a loss on modification of derivative instruments during fiscal 2010 in connection with the implied exchange of debt instruments discussed above under Convertible Note I.

Conversions of Principal under Convertible Notes

During fiscal 2010, the senior lender converted a combined total of $6.9 million of principal under the three convertible notes ($0.51
million, $1.03 million and $1.37 million under Convertible Note I on September 23, 2009, October 13, 2009 and November 24, 2009, respectively; $2.72 million under Convertible Note II on November 24, 2009; and $1.23 million
under Convertible Note III on November 24, 2009) which we satisfied with the issuance to the holder of a combined total of 484,221 shares. The fair value of the embedded derivative instruments associated with the convertible notes is reduced on
a proportional basis to the amount of debt principal converted by the holder. For example, if 10% of the outstanding debt principal just prior to the conversion is converted, we reduce the fair value of the derivative instrument on the conversion
date by 10%. In connection with shares issued to settle debt principal conversions during fiscal 2010, the derivative instruments were reduced by $6.9 million and a net gain on the settlement of the debt principal and derivative instruments of $1.4
million was recognized, which represented the difference between the fair value of shares issued ($12.4 million) and the settlement of the liabilities ($6.9 million of debt principal and $6.9 million of derivative instruments).

During fiscal 2010, we elected to add the entire amount of accrued interest to principal
under the three convertible notes that was payable on the scheduled semi-annual interest payment dates in accordance with the PIK provisions contained within the notes.

Shares in Lieu of Cash in Satisfaction of Principal under Term Note A and Term Note C

We issued shares in fiscal 2010 on various dates through November 1, 2009 to our senior lender in satisfaction of certain required principal obligations under Term Note A and Term Note C based on 95%
of the VWAP of our common stock for the five business days prior to the applicable payment dates pursuant to the terms of the debt instruments. We considered Term Note A and Term Note C to be stock-settleable instruments as both
instruments embodied unconditional obligations that we could settle by issuing a variable number of our shares and the value of the obligation was based on a fixed monetary amount that was known at inception. We performed a separate calculation each
time we made a payment in shares under the term notes to determine whether the fair value of the shares provided was above or below the carrying value of the principal extinguished. To the extent that there was a difference, we recorded the amount
immediately as a gain or loss on extinguishment of debt and the corresponding offset was recorded as additional paid-in-capital for the issued shares. The differences that were required to be recorded in fiscal 2010 for the shares, representing a
net loss on settlement of the debt of $0.4 million, is included as part of the loss on settlement of debt and derivative instruments on the consolidated statement of operations.

Fiscal 2009

On May 30, 2008, we amended Convertible Note I and Term Note B in connection with securing additional financing from our senior lender associated with Term Note C and the Lender Commitment.

The significant amendments to Convertible Note I included: (i) the Make-Whole Amount provision was added
which provided the senior lender with an incentive to convert all or part of the balance due under the note prior to its maturity, (ii) an anti-dilution conversion price reset provision that was originally added on January 31, 2007 was
eliminated, and (iii) the scheduled maturity date was extended from July 1, 2009 to August 1, 2009.

The
significant amendments to Term Note B were: (i) the limit for the maximum amount of principal payable under the multiplier provision that was present upon issuance of the note was increased from $37.5 million to $52.5 million, (ii) a
provision that allowed us to make prepayments under the note at any time was revised to restrict us from making prepayments under the note prior to January 17, 2010 (the First Call Date), and (iii) a provision that only
required the multiplier formula to be factored into determining the amount of principal outstanding on the note upon a demand of payment by the senior lender was revised to require the multiplier formula to be factored into both prepayments by us
and demands by the senior lender. Prior to the May 30, 2008 amendment, the derivative instrument representing the principal multiplier feature was not ascribed any fair value as a market place participant would have assumed that we would have
avoided payment of the value attributable to the multiplier feature by exercising our option to prepay the note at its face value prior to January 16, 2010. However, after giving effect to the amendments that occurred on May 30, 2008,
which eliminated our ability to avoid paying the value of the multiplier feature by prepaying the note, we could no longer avoid paying the value attributable to the multiplier feature by prepaying the note. Thus, the embedded derivative associated
with the multiplier feature had a measurable fair value for all periods subsequent to the May 30, 2008 modifications.

The amendments to Convertible Note I and Term Note B resulted in an immediate increase in the value of the embedded conversion feature
derivatives of $23.8 million (substantially all related to Term Note B) that was recognized as a loss on modification of debt and derivative instruments in fiscal 2009.

We determined that the amendments to Convertible Note I and Term Note B on May 30,
2008, in combination with the issuance of new debt and modifications to other debt instruments that were negotiated together, were not substantial and did not represent an implied exchange of debt instruments. For purposes of this analysis, we
excluded the impact that the modifications had on the embedded features accounted for as derivative instruments under the guidance, as the change in fair value of the derivative instruments resulting from the modifications was immediately recognized
as a loss on modification of debt.

During fiscal 2009, the holder requested conversions of $10.2 million of debt principal
under the provisions of Convertible Note I. In connection with the issuance of our common shares (which had a fair value of $18.7 million on the settlement dates) in satisfaction of the principal converted and shares required pursuant to the
Make-Whole Amount provision contained in the note, a portion of the derivative instrument liability associated with the conversion feature was also extinguished in the total amount of $4.2 million. The Make-Whole Amount provision was available to
the holder from May 30, 2008 through July 9, 2009 at which time it was eliminated in connection with further modifications to the note. The difference between the fair value of the shares issued ($18.7 million) and the extinguishment of
the liabilities ($10.2 million of debt principal and $4.2 million of derivative instruments) was recognized as a loss on settlement of $4.3 million during fiscal 2009.

11. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

We measure our
financial assets and liabilities in accordance with Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures under GAAP, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. GAAP describes three
different valuation techniques to be used in determining fair value for financial assets and liabilities: the market, income or cost approaches. The three valuation techniques are consistent with generally accepted valuation methodologies. The
hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value from market based assumptions to entity specific assumptions are as follows:

Level 1: Inputs based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and
liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Inputs reflect managements best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and
significant to the instruments valuation.

We measure financial instruments that we consider to be derivatives at fair
value on a recurring basis, which at April 30, 2011 consist of certain warrant contracts (see Note 12).

Prior to certain
debt modifications executed on April 30, 2010, our three convertible notes and our Term Note B contained embedded conversion features that were also considered to be derivatives during the two year period ended April 30, 2010 included in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Consent Fee Term Note also contained an embedded conversion feature that was classified as a derivative liability until the fee contingency was resolved on April 16, 2010. As
of the close of business on April 30, 2010, the fair value of the embedded conversion features under the three convertible notes, Term Note B and the Consent Fee Term Note were each reclassified to equity. See further discussion of these
financial instruments and the change in classification of the embedded features during fiscal 2010 in Note 10. In addition, during fiscal 2011, the embedded conversion features under the 2010 Bridge Notes were accounted for as derivative liabilities
from the period of their amendment on January 18, 2011 until the notes were repaid in cash on April 29, 2011.

We determined the fair values of the derivative instrument liabilities associated with the written put
option contained within the Lender Commitment and certain warrant contracts primarily based on option-pricing mathematical models generally referred to as Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo option-pricing models. These models
determine the value of the derivative instruments based on complex mathematical formulas that assume that returns on our underlying stock are normally-distributed and that risk-free interest rates and stock volatilities will remain constant over the
term of the contract. We used the Black-Scholes model to calculate the value of the June 2007 Warrants, the August 2009 Warrants, the September 2009 Warrants, and the B Warrants issued in February 2011. For the written put option
contained within the Lender Commitment (extinguished on January 3, 2011) and the derivative warrant contracts that incorporate more complex terms, including exercise price reset provisions (the October 2006 Warrants and the August 2008
Warrants), we utilize the Monte Carlo model which is similar to the Black-Scholes model; however, the Monte Carlo model simulates several thousand possible (but random) price paths for the underlying value of the derivative instruments. These random
price paths are then averaged to determine the value of the derivative instruments as of the reporting period date.

We
determined the fair value of the embedded conversion features under the three convertible notes, Term Note B, the Consent Fee Term Note, and the 2010 Bridge Notes during the period of time that they were classified as derivatives primarily based on
binomial probability distribution models that integrate multiple layers of logic at each node representing probability weighted stock price points and possible outcomes over time based on volatility and appropriate risk free rates. The end node
values are then individually present valued back to the valuation date. Under a binomial probability distribution model, the closing market price of our common stock on the dates of measurement and the estimated discount rates and annual volatility
rates used are the primary drivers of fair value in addition to the contractual terms of the financial instruments.

The
derivative liabilities associated with the convertible notes represented the fair value of the notional amount of the embedded conversion features as of the assessment date, which is less than the overall fair values

of the embedded conversion features. The notional amount equaled the outstanding principal, including accrued interest that had been added to the principal balances as of the assessment date
under the terms of the instruments PIK provisions. Although the stated terms of the instruments required that a minimum portion of all future interest cost must be added to the principal under the PIK provisions (thereby increasing the overall
value of the conversion features), under GAAP, a derivative instrument must have an existing notional amount to be considered a derivative. As such, the additional fair value of the minimum future interest PIK provisions were not considered in
valuing the derivatives until the PIK was actually added to the outstanding principal balances.

Fair Value Option

We have adopted ASC Topic No. 825 Financial Instruments (ASC 825), which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for
specified financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. We did not elect to adopt the fair value option for any of our financial assets or liabilities that were not already measured on a recurring basis. Based on certain
qualifying events, we may elect to adopt the fair value option in the future for certain financial assets and liabilities.

We
apply fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with valuing potential impairment losses related to goodwill and other long-lived assets (see Note 8).

12. Stockholders Equity

Reverse Stock Split

On February 8, 2011, we implemented a reverse stock split pursuant to which all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common
stock at the close of business on such date were combined and reconstituted as a smaller number of shares of common stock in a ratio of 1 share of common stock for every 20 shares of common stock. Fractional shares were paid in cash. Our authorized
shares of common stock were reduced proportionately from 400.0 million to 20.0 million. The reverse stock split did not affect our 20.0 million shares of authorized preferred stock. The consolidated financial statements and footnotes have
been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split for the period of time reported prior to the split. The reverse split did not affect the amount of equity we have or affect our market capitalization.

QUANTUM FUEL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



As adjusted for the effects of the reverse split, our authorized stock consisted of
20,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 20,000,000 shares of common stock as of April 30, 2011. Of the 20,000,000 shares of common stock, 100,000 are designated as Series B common stock.

Increase in Authorized Shares

Subsequent to the most recent balance sheet date and pursuant to a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on May 10, 2011, our stockholders authorized an increase in the number of authorized shares of
common stock from 20,000,000 to 50,000,000.

Common Stock

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters voted on by stockholders. Holders of common stock do
not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors and have no subscription, redemption or conversion privileges. Subject to the preferences or other rights of any preferred stock that may be issued from time to time, holders of common
stock will be entitled to participate ratably in dividends of our common stock as declared by the board of directors. Holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets available for distribution to stockholders in the event of
our liquidation or dissolution, subject to distribution of the preferential amount, if any, to be distributed to holders of preferred stock. No holder of our capital stock authorized at any such distribution date will have any preemptive right to
subscribe for or purchase any of our securities of any class or kind.

Series B Common Stock

Shares of our Series B common stock, held entirely by General Motors, are not entitled to vote on any matters voted on by stockholders
except as otherwise specifically required by law. In the event we issue additional shares of our common stock as a dividend or other distribution on our outstanding common stock, or a subdivision or combination of common stock into a smaller or
greater number of shares, the number of shares of Series B common stock will be adjusted to that number of shares of Series B common stock that is equal to the percentage of all outstanding shares of all series of our common stock (excluding shares
issued pursuant to a board-approved stock option or equity incentive plan) that the holders of Series B common stock held prior to such event. Upon the transfer of any of the outstanding shares of Series B common stock to any person or entity that
is not controlled by or under common control with General Motors, the transferred shares of Series B common stock will convert into an equal number of shares of our common stock. Subject to the preferences or other rights of any preferred stock that
may be issued from time to time, holders of our Series B common stock will be entitled to participate ratably in dividends on our common stock as declared by our board of directors. Holders of our Series B common stock will be entitled to share
ratably in all assets available for distribution to stockholders in the event of our liquidation or dissolution, subject to distribution of the preferential amount, if any, to be distributed to holders of our preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

Our charter authorizes the board of directors, without any vote or action by the holders of our common stock, to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series.
Our board of directors are authorized to determine the number of shares and designation of any series of preferred stock and the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights and terms, voting rights (full or limited, if any), redemption rights
and terms, liquidation preferences and sinking fund terms of any series of preferred stock. Issuances of preferred stock would be subject to the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Global Market or other organizations on

whose systems our stock may then be quoted or listed. Depending upon the terms of preferred stock established by our board of directors, any or all series of preferred stock could have preference
over our common stock with respect to dividends and other distribution upon our potential liquidation. Issuance of any such shares with voting powers, or issuance of additional shares of our common stock, would dilute the voting power of our
outstanding common stock. We have no present plans to issue any preferred stock.

Restricted Stock

We periodically issue restricted stock to our directors and executives as a form of equity-based compensation. The value of the shares,
measured on the date of award based upon the closing price of our common stock, is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period, typically three years.

Warrants

In connection with a $12.5 million private placement offering
completed on June 29, 2006, investors received warrants to purchase 44,020 shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $78.80 per share to the investors (the June 2006 Warrants). The warrants can be exercised at any time
and expire in June 2011.

In connection with a $10.0 million private placement offering completed on October 27, 2006,
investors received warrants to initially purchase 106,707 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $47.20 per share (the October 2006 Warrants). During fiscal 2010, we issued 54,922 shares upon the exercise of 95,805
warrants on a cashless basis by certain holders of the October 2006 Warrants. The remaining warrants are subject to reset as discussed below and can be exercised at any time and expire in April 2014.

In connection with a $18.75 million private placement offering that was completed on June 22, 2007, investors received warrants to
purchase 750,000 shares of our common stock at a fixed $41.80 per share, which included 125,000 shares provided to the October 2006 investors in exchange for those investors waiving certain rights obtained in the October 2006 private placement (the
June 2007 Warrants). In connection with the private placement offering that was closed in February 2011, certain of the investors holding 492,417 of the June 2007 Warrants agreed to cancel their warrants in exchange for new warrants
dated February 18, 2011(discussed below). The remaining June 2007 Warrants, totaling 257,583, can be exercised anytime and expire in December 2014.

In connection with a $19.1 million registered direct offering completed on August 25, 2008, the investor received warrants to initially purchase 675,000 shares of our common stock at an initial
exercise price of $80.00 per share (the August 2008 Warrants). The warrants were subject to reset as discussed below and can be exercised at any time and expire in August 2015.

In connection with a $12.3 million private placement offering completed in two rounds that closed on August 3, 2009 (the
August 2009 Warrants) and September 4, 2009 (the September 2009 Warrants), investors received warrants to purchase 100,481 shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $17.00 per share to the investors. The
warrants became exercisable beginning in February 2010, of which 32,005 relate to the August 2009 Warrants and expire in August 2014 and 68,476 relate to the September 2009 Warrants and expire in September 2014. In connection with the transaction,
the placement agent also received 51,197 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $17.00 per share that became exercisable beginning in March 2010, of which 36,197 expire in September 2012 and 15,000 expire in
September 2014.

On April 16, 2010, in connection with the acquisition of SPI, we provided the former SPI warrant holders
with Quantum replacement warrants that allowed these former SPI warrant holders to purchase up to 102,822 shares of our common stock at fixed exercise prices ranging from $9.60 to $48.20 per share (the April 2010

Replacement Warrants). On August 21, 2010, 73,322 of the replacement warrants expired. The remaining replacement warrants at April 30, 2011 had a fixed exercise price of $17.60
per share and expired on May 13, 2011. The fair value of the replacement warrants on the closing date was included as part of the consideration paid in connection with the acquisition (see Note 2).

In connection with a $10.9 million private placement offering completed on various dates from April 2010 through July 2010 (the
Spring 2010 Warrants), investors received warrants to purchase 197,217 shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $18.20 per share to the investors. The warrants became exercisable beginning in October 2010 and expire five
years from the date they were issued (April 2015 thru July 2015). In connection with the transaction, the placement agent also received 121,859 in warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $18.20 per share that
became exercisable beginning in October 2010 of which 96,859 expire in July 2013 and 25,000 expire in May 2015. The net amount received by us from the transactions, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, was approximately $9.3
million (of which $6.2 million was received in fiscal 2011).

On October 13, 2010 and October 19, 2010, in
connection with the issuance of the 2010 Bridge Notes, investors received warrants to purchase 36,197 shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $13.40 per share (the October 2010 Warrants). The warrants expire five years
from the date they were issued. We recorded a debt discount on the origination date of the 2010 Bridge Notes equal to the fair value of the October 2010 Warrants of $0.2 million that was amortized over the scheduled life of the notes through
December 31, 2010 (see Note 10).

On January 3, 2011, in connection with the execution of the Forbearance Agreement
and restructure of the debt portfolio (see Note 10), our senior lender received warrants to purchase up to 277,777 shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $9.00 per share. The warrants had a fair value of $1.6 million on the
commitment date. We allocated $1.3 million of the fair value to the instruments extinguished on January 3, 2011 and recognized the remaining amount of $0.3 million as an implied debt discount on the LOC with our senior lender. In connection
with the private placement offering that closed on February 18, 2011 in which the senior lender participated, the senior lender agreed not to exercise the warrants until after August 18, 2011 and the expiration date of the warrants was
modified from January 3, 2014 to February 18, 2014.

On January 18, 2011, in connection with amendments to the
2010 Bridge Notes, the bridge investors received warrants to purchase up to 131,892 shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $9.20 per share. The warrants expire in January 2014 and had a fair value of $0.8 million on the commitment
date.

On February 18, 2011, in connection with a private placement offering that raised $5.1 million in net proceeds,
investors received A warrants and B warrants to purchase up to 562,131 and 292,533 shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $6.57 and $6.00 per share, respectively. Our senior lender also participated in the
private placement offering by reducing $2.0 million of the outstanding principal balance under the LOC in exchange for receiving shares of our common stock and A warrants and B warrants to purchase up to 197,239 and 101,400
shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $6.57 and $6.00 per share, respectively. The warrants become exercisable after six months and expire in February 2016. The A and B warrants had a fair value of $2.8
million and $1.5 million, respectively, on the commitment date associated with the closing of the private placement offering.

We evaluate the warrants provided in connection with each of our private placement or public offerings in accordance with applicable
accounting guidance and we have concluded that liability classification is appropriate for warrants issued in October 2006, June 2007, August 2008, August 2009, September 2009 and the B



F-49

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



warrants issued in February 2011. We have further concluded that equity classification is appropriate for all the remaining warrants that were outstanding during the three year periods covered by
these consolidated financial statements due to the fact that these warrants are considered to be indexed to our own stock, are required to be physically settled in shares of our common stock and there are no provisions that could require
net-cash settlement.

The proceeds from transactions that gave rise to warrants have been allocated to the common stock or
debt issued and the warrants based on their relative fair values. For those transactions in which proceeds were received in connection with the sale of common stock, we aggregate the values of those warrants that we do not classify as liabilities
with the fair value of the stock issued as both of these types of instruments have been classified as permanent equity.

The
classification as equity for certain of the warrants could change as a result of either future modifications to the existing terms of settlement or the issuance of new financial instruments by us that could be converted into an increased or
unlimited number of shares. If a change in classification of certain warrants is required in the future, the warrants would be treated as derivatives, reclassified as liabilities on the balance sheet at their fair value, and marked to market each
period, with the changes in fair values being recognized in the respective periods statement of operations.

The October
2006 Warrants, the June 2007 Warrants, the August 2008 Warrants and the B warrants issued in February 2011 contain contractual provisions that could potentially require us to net-cash settle the value of the remaining outstanding
warrants in the event of a change in control or other fundamental change in Quantum in the future. Since the contractual provisions that could require us to net-cash settle the warrants are not within our control, equity classification is precluded.
As such, we consider these warrants to be derivative instruments that are classified as current liabilities, recorded at fair value and marked to market each period, with the changes in fair values being recognized in the respective periods
statement of operations.

Further, the August 2009 Warrants and the September 2009 Warrants contain cashless warrant exercise
provisions whereby the settlement calculation may incorporate the book value per share of common stock if there is not a public market for the common stock. Under GAAP, if an instruments settlement calculation incorporates variables other than
those used to determine the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed forward or option on equity shares, the instrument would not be considered indexed to the entitys own stock and therefore would not be precluded from derivative instrument
consideration. As such, we consider these warrants to be derivatives that are classified as non-current liabilities, recorded at fair value and marked to market each period, with the changes in fair values being recognized in the respective
periods statement of operations.

The fair values of the derivative liabilities associated with warrant contracts as of
April 30, 2010 and April 30, 2011, and a summary of the changes in the fair values of those derivative instruments during the three years ended April 30, 2011 are disclosed in Note 11.

The October 2006 Warrants and August 2008 Warrants contain contractual provisions which, subject to certain exceptions, reset the
exercise price of such warrants if at any time while such warrants are outstanding, we sell or issues shares of our common stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our
common stock. Since the initial issuance of these warrants, we have completed equity transactions through June 15, 2011 that resulted in the reset of the exercise price of the October 2006 Warrants and August 2008 Warrants to $2.92 and $38.60,
respectively. As of June 15, 2011, the August 2008 Warrants have been reset to the lowest price allowable under the terms of the August 2008 Warrant so the reset provision is no longer applicable.

The October 2006 Warrants and August 2008 Warrants also contain a provision that
increases the number of shares of common stock subject to such warrants if and when the exercise price is reset so that the aggregate purchase price payable applicable to the exercise of the warrants after the reset of the exercise price is the same
as the aggregate purchase price payable immediately prior to the reset. As a result of the exercise price resets, the number of shares subject to the October 2006 Warrants and August 2008 Warrants increased to 1,334,906 and 1,398,964, respectively,
as of June 15, 2011. Any resets to the exercise price of the October 2006 Warrants in the future will have an additional dilutive effect on our existing shareholders.

Warrant activity and warrants outstanding for the three year period ending April 30, 2011, and through the closing of the round of financing on June 15, 2011, reportable in the equivalent number
of shares of our common stock that can be purchased upon exercise of the warrants, is as follows:

Stock Incentive Plan

We have one stock option plan, the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the Stock Incentive Plan), which provides that options to purchase shares of our common stock and awards of restricted stock may
be granted to directors, employees, associates and consultants. Options expire ten years after the date of grant or 30 days after termination of employment and generally vest ratably at the rate of 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the
grant date. New shares are issued to satisfy stock option exercises under the Stock Incentive Plan. Options awarded are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of our stock at the date of grant. Restricted stock generally cliff
vests on the third anniversary of the grant date.

Share-based compensation cost includes $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.4 million related to restricted
stock awards for the fiscal years ending 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

The fair value of each share-based award is
estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock price. The expected life of options granted is derived based on the historical life of our options.
The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury interest rates in effect at the time of grant.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is based on our closing stock price of $2.58 per share as of the last business day of
the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, which amount would have been received by the optionees had all options been exercised on that date.

On November 17, 2008, we completed a value-for-value stock option exchange program which was approved by our stockholders on September 18, 2008. Pursuant to the option exchange, 194,841 eligible
options were canceled and replaced with 128,734 replacement stock options. The exchange ratio was calculated such that the value of the replacement options would approximate the value of the canceled options, determined in accordance with the
Black-Scholes option valuation model. We recognized the excess value of vested replacement options as compensation expense ratably over their respective vesting periods. The excess value was nominal.

13. Insurance Settlements

Property Damage Recovery

On September 22, 2007, a flood caused damages to our inventory, manufacturing equipment and a warehouse facility that was covered under existing insurance coverage. We received the insurance benefits
in installments on various dates through November 2008. We recognized a non-recurring gain of $1.2 million in fiscal year 2009 which is included as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of
operations. The gain is primarily related to the difference between the insured values and carrying values of the damaged inventory and equipment. Proceeds on the settlement of $1.5 million received in fiscal year 2009 are included in cash flows
from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Life Insurance Proceeds

We recorded other income of $2.0 million during fiscal 2009 in connection with a life insurance settlement payment that was received
during November 2008. Insurance proceeds on the settlement are included in cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

For our U.S. based businesses, we have a net deferred tax asset position primarily consisting of net
operating loss carry forwards that are available to offset future taxable income. In accordance with GAAP, we have established a valuation allowance for our net deferred tax asset since it is unlikely that the asset will be fully realized based on
our lack of earnings history and current evidence.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Our wholly-owned subsidiary, SPI, based in Canada, has certain deferred tax liabilities
which cannot be offset by net operating loss carry forwards from the US businesses and represents the balance of the net deferred tax liability reported as of April 30, 2010 and April 30, 2011 on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet. Included in the net deferred tax liability at April 30, 2010 was a deferred amount of $0.4 million consisting of the tax effected difference between the book value and tax basis of the Grand Valley wind farm asset that was sold in
February 2011(see Note 3). The deferred tax amount was reclassified as a current tax payable upon the completion of the asset sale and is included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 2011.

Undistributed earnings of Schneider Power at April 30, 2011 are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and,
accordingly, no provisions for federal and state income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign
tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.

For the year ended April 30, 2011, $0.1 million was recognized as an income tax expense attributable to operations and $0.3 million
was recognized as an income tax benefit attributable to other comprehensive income. Income tax expense reported for the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 was entirely attributable to operations.

Loss from operations before income taxes for the years ended April 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 attributable to domestic operations was
$8.1 million, $46.2 million, and $28.0 million, respectively, and loss attributable to foreign operations was $3.2 million, $0.1 million, and zero, respectively.

At April 30, 2011, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $211 million available to offset future federal taxable income that expire between the years 2021 and 2030. We
had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $112 million available to offset future state taxable income that expire between the years 2014 and 2021.

We have no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions as defined under GAAP for any of the periods presented. To the extent applicable in the future, interest and penalties related to income
tax liabilities will be included in pre-tax income as interest expense and tax penalties.

At April 30, 2011, our U.S.
federal tax returns related to fiscal years ended April 30, 2007 through April 30, 2011 remain open to examination by the tax authorities. However, we have consolidated or acquired net operating losses beginning in the tax year ended
September 27, 1998 that would cause the statute of limitations to remain open for the year in which the net operating loss was incurred.

The U.S. tax laws contain provisions (Section 382 limitations) that limit the annual utilization of net operating loss and credit carryforwards upon the occurrence of certain events including a
significant change in ownership interest. Generally, such limitations arise when the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups in the stock of a corporation change by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. We had incurred
such an event in the past which limits the future use of our losses and may result in expiration of a portion of the losses before utilization. We may also have incurred such an event or events over recent years; however, we have not completed a
current study to determine the extent of the limitations. Until a study is completed and the extent of the limitations is able to be determined, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position.

15. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We compute net income (loss) per share by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. We consider common
equivalent shares from the exercise of stock options, warrants and convertible debt payable in the instance where the shares are dilutive to our net income. The effects of stock options, warrants and convertible debt were anti-dilutive for all
periods presented.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:

For the three fiscal years ending April 30, 2011 presented above, shares of common stock potentially
issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants and convertible notes, in addition to shares potentially issuable in satisfaction of term note obligations were excluded in the computation of diluted per share data, as the effects would be
anti-dilutive.

17. Business Segments and Geographic Information

Business Segments

We classify our business operations into three reporting segments: Electric Drive & Fuel Systems, Renewable Energy (beginning April 16, 2010 with the acquisition of SPI) and Corporate.

The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and tracks performance by the reporting segments. We evaluate
performance based on profit or loss from operations before interest and income taxes.

Electric Drive & Fuel
Systems Segment

Our Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment supplies advanced propulsion and fuel systems for
alternative fuel vehicles to OEM customers for use by consumers and for commercial and government fleets. Since 1997, we



F-60

##### Table of Contents

QUANTUM FUEL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



have sold approximately 20,000 fuel systems for alternative fuel vehicles. We also provide our propulsion systems and hydrogen storage products for hybrid and fuel cell applications to major OEMs
and certain governmental agencies through funded research and development contracts and on a prototype and production intent basis. This segments business operations primarily consist of design, integration and supply of electric drive and
control system technologies and manufacture and supply of packaged fuel systems for use in hybrid, plug-in electric hybrid, hydrogen, fuel cell, and other alternative fuel vehicles.

Our Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment generates product revenues through: (i) the sale of hybrid sub-systems and
control systems included in the Q-Drive powertrain system for the Fisker Karma production vehicle, (ii) hydrogen and compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel storage, fuel delivery, and electronic control systems to OEMs, (iii) the
installation of our systems into OEM vehicles, (iv) the sale of transportable hydrogen refueling stations, and (v) the sale of CNG, propane (LPG), and hydrogen fuel storage, fuel delivery, and electronic control systems for internal
combustion engine applications.

Our Electric Drive & Fuel Systems segment generates contract revenue by providing
engineering design and support to OEMs, primarily Fisker Automotive and General Motors, so that our advanced propulsion systems integrate and operate with the OEMs hybrid or fuel cell applications. Contract revenue is also generated from
customers in the aerospace industry, military and other governmental entities and agencies, and other strategic alliance partners.

Renewable Energy Segment

Our Renewable Energy segment consists solely of
the business operations of SPI. SPI, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is an independent power producer, developer of renewable energy projects and provider of related development services and is a licensed electricity generator and
wholesaler. Our development of renewable energy projects involves several sequential stages of completion and advancement before a project becomes operational. Feasibility studies are conducted to obtain sufficient data to validate the wind and/or
solar energy capacity from a prospective project. Easements are negotiated with local landowners to allow for the development of an energy farm on their properties. Applications are submitted to local utility providers to obtain approvals for grid
interconnections, and environmental assessments and feasibility studies are completed and submitted to Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments to obtain permits for construction and commissioning. Finally, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are
secured with a utility provider or power broker as a project approaches the construction and operational stage.

Wind and
solar energy project returns depend mainly on the following factors: energy prices, transmission costs, wind and solar resources, wind turbine and solar module costs, construction costs, financing cost and availability of government incentives. In
applying our strategy, we take into account the combination of all of these factors and focus on margins, return on invested capital and value creation as opposed solely to project size. We assess the profitability of each project by evaluating its
net present value.

In addition to energy sales on our existing wind electricity generation facility and future wind and solar
energy facilities that we are currently developing, we anticipate generating revenues and cash flows through the sale of ownership interests in our renewable energy projects and through development and construction services for renewable energy
projects owned by third parties.

Corporate Segment

The Corporate segment consists of general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level that are not directly attributable
to the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems or Renewable Energy reporting segments.

QUANTUM FUEL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Corporate expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, share-based compensation costs and related general and administrative costs for executive, finance, legal, human resources, investor
relations and our board of directors.

All activities of Quantum Solar, which is still in the preliminary phase of its
anticipated solar module manufacturing operation are included in our Corporate segment and to date principally consist of partial payments on long lead assembly equipment under construction for solar module production capability. Once Quantum Solar
commences its manufacturing operations, we anticipate that we will report these activities under a new business segment separate from the Electric Drive & Fuel Systems, Renewable Energy and Corporate reporting segments.

Geographic Information

Our long-lived assets as of April 30, 2010 and April 30, 2011 are primarily based within facilities in Irvine and Lake Forest, California and on our wind farm located in Ontario, Canada. We also
own land in Nova Scotia, Canada that we are developing as a renewable energy project. Our affiliate, Asola, is based in Erfurt, Germany.

Our revenue by country is as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



Total rental expense under the operating leases of continuing operations for fiscal
years ended April 30, 2009, 2010 and 2011 was approximately $1.7 million, $2.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively. These leases are non-cancelable and certain leases have renewal options and escalation clauses.

Our corporate headquarters is located in Irvine, California. The facility in Irvine is leased from Cartwright, LLC and another unrelated
party (collectively referred to as Cartwright LLC). Our chief executive officer and an irrevocable trust established by our chairman of the board own 50% and 36.67%, respectively, of Cartwright, LLC. The remaining 13.33% of Cartwright,
LLC is owned by an unrelated party. The lease has an effective date of November 1, 2008 and expires on October 31, 2015. We made cash payments to Cartwright LLC during fiscal years ended April 30, 2009, 2010 and 2011 in amounts
totaling $0.9 million, $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Obligations under Solar Cell Supply Arrangement

We have obligations pursuant to an arrangement with Asola under which we agreed to purchase one-half of Asolas
rights and obligations under a certain long-term solar cell supply agreement that Asola executed with one of its solar cell suppliers. Our arrangement with Asola and our obligations under the arrangement are more fully described in Note 6.

Contingencies

We and our affiliates are subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise out of the normal course of our business. Management and our legal counsel periodically review the probable outcome of
pending proceedings and the costs reasonably expected to be incurred. We accrue for these costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, any ultimate
cost to us in excess of amounts accrued will not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Compensation Plan

We sponsor a defined contribution plan (the 401K
Plan) that is qualified under Internal Revenue Service Code Section 401(k). The 401K Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Under the 401K Plan, all applicable employees who are at least age twenty-one or older are eligible to participate in the 401K Plan at
the beginning of the next month after their first day of employment with us. Contributions to the 401K Plan are based on funding standards established by ERISA. Our matching contributions under the 401K Plan are discretionary and match elective
salary deferrals up to 3% of compensation.

Contributions attributable to us for continuing operations approximated $0.3
million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million for fiscal years ended April 30, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Employment
Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and
senior managers which provide for annual base salary, other benefits and severance obligations. Our total obligation under the terms of these agreements is approximately $5.6 million for those agreements that are in

place as of May 1, 2011. The total obligation consists of the estimated minimum contractual obligations under the arrangements assuming a termination of employment without cause initiated by
us and benefit continuation to the employees assuming a cost to us of 15% of base salaries.

Strategic Alliance with
General Motors

Pursuant to the strategic alliance with General Motors, we have committed to spend $4.0 million annually
for specific research and development projects directed by General Motors to speed the commercialization of our fuel cell related products. Since this commitment was waived or partially waived by General Motors for calendar years 2002 through 2010,
we anticipate that this commitment will be waived or partially waived in the future. During fiscal 2011 there were no directed research and development activities pursuant to the strategic alliance.

The strategic alliance also requires us to pay royalties for products sold using certain technologies covered by the alliance as follows:
Beginning July 24, 2005 for non-automotive applications and July 24, 2008 for automotive applications, we are obligated to provide revenue sharing payments to General Motors based on a percentage of gross revenue derived from sales of
applications developed under the strategic alliance. The revenue sharing payments will equal 5% of applicable gross revenue through July 23, 2015, 4% for the ten-year period ending July 23, 2025, 3% for the ten-year period ending
July 23, 2035, and 2% for the ten-year period ending July 23, 2045. On July 23, 2045, we will also be obligated to provide a final revenue sharing payment to General Motors equal to the present value of future revenue sharing payments
that would otherwise be payable to General Motors on an annual basis assuming an income stream to General Motors of 2% of our gross revenues in perpetuity. No royalty expense was incurred under the arrangement for any of the periods presented in the
financial statements.

20. Subsequent Events

On May 10, 2011, a Special Meeting of Stockholders was held. In connection with the special meeting, our stockholders authorized an increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock
from 20,000,000 to 50,000,000.

On various dates between May 12, 2011 and May 23, 2011, the senior lender made
principal reduction demands under Term Note B that required us to pay $1.8 million of principal remaining under the note, in separate demands ranging from $0.3 million to $0.5 million. For each demand, we elected to use our shares to satisfy the
required principal reductions. We issued a total of 399,416 shares to satisfy these demands made subsequent to our most recent balance sheet date.

On May 9, 2011 and May 20, 2011, we entered into a bridge note and warrant purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, for the purchase and sale of senior subordinated promissory notes
(the 2011 Bridge Notes) and warrants (the 2011 Bridge Warrants). We received total gross proceeds of $1.5 million and issued warrants entitling the investors to receive up to an aggregate of 168,768 shares of our common stock
at a fixed exercise price of $2.92 per share. We paid our placement agent a total cash fee of $0.1 million. The notes have an annual interest rate of 15.0%. Principal and accrued interest is due and payable on September 30, 2011. The warrants
expire in May 2014.

On June 15, 2011, we completed a private placement offering of common stock and warrants pursuant to
which we raised cumulative gross proceeds of $7.5 million from the sale of 2,409,795 shares of our common stock to investors at a price of $3.12 per share. The investors received warrants entitling them to receive up to an aggregate of 1,445,862
shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $3.85 per share which expire in

June 2016. We paid our placement agent a total cash fee of $0.9 million and issued warrants entitling the placement agent to receive up to an aggregate of 450,000 and 307,250 shares of our common
stock at a fixed exercise price of $3.12 and $3.85 per share, respectively, which expire in June 2018.

On June 29, 2011,
we entered into a sublease agreement with an unrelated third party for one of our facilities located in Lake Forest, California, consisting of approximately 62,000 square feet. The term of the sublease commences on July 1, 2011 and expires on
May 31, 2015. Except as set forth in the sublease agreement, the sublease agreement does not modify or limit the terms and conditions of our existing lease agreement, dated April 1, 2009, between us and our landlord. The remaining
obligations under our existing lease are $2.2 million in excess of the base rents that we have a contractual right to receive under the sublease agreement.

On July 1, 2011, we entered into a private placement offering of common stock and warrants pursuant to which we expect to receive cumulative gross proceeds of $2.2 million from the sale of 699,548
shares of our common stock to investors at a price of $3.12 per share. The investors will receive warrants entitling them to receive up to an aggregate of 419,726 shares of our common stock at a fixed exercise price of $3.85 per share which expire
in July 2016. Upon receipt of the gross proceeds, we will pay our placement agent a total cash fee of $0.2 million and will issue warrants entitling the placement agent to receive up to an aggregate of 89,207 shares of our common stock at a fixed
exercise price of $3.85 per share, respectively, which expire in July 2018.
