Business Summary
American Superconductor Corporation is involved in developing products using superconducting materials and power electronic switches. The Company offers two core enabling technologies and products: high temperature superconductor (HTS) wires and power electronic switches. The Company sells products based on these technologies to electrical equipment manufacturers, industrial power users and businesses that produce and deliver power. The Company's HTS wire is capable of carrying more than 140 times the electrical current of conventional copper wire of the same dimensions. The Company has also developed and commercialized advanced power electronic switches that control, modulate and move large amounts of power with higher efficiency and at lower cost. The Company also manufactures and sells superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems.

Financial Summary
AMSC develops and commercializes high temperature superconducting wire, wire products and systems, including current leads, multistrand conductors, electromagnetic coils and electromagnets. For the three months ended 6/30/01, revenues fell 58% to $1.7 million. Net loss totaled $9 million, up from $4.5 million. Revenues reflect decreased SMES product sales and a decrease in government funding. Higher loss reflects the continued scale-up of the Company's internal R&D activities.
