General UQM Technologies, Inc., formerly Unique Mobility, Inc. ("UQM" or the "Company") is recognized worldwide as a technology leader in the development and manufacture of energy efficient, power dense, electric motors, generators and power electronic inverters. The primary focus of the Company is incorporating its advanced technology into products aimed at high growth and emerging markets including power systems for clean electric, hybrid electric and fuel cell electric on-road and off-road vehicles, under-the-hood power accessories including 42 volt systems and environmentally friendly, distributed power generators. The Company operates its business in three segments; 1) technology - which encompasses the further advancement and application of the Company's proprietary motors, generator, power electronics and software; 2) mechanical products - which encompasses the manufacture of motors, gears and gear assemblies; and 3) electronic products which encompasses the manufacture of electronic printed circuit assemblies, wire harnesses and complete electronic boxes. The Company's $0.01 par value common stock trades on the American, Chicago, Pacific, Frankfurt and Berlin stock exchanges under the symbol "UQM". The Company's revenue is derived from two principle sources; 1) funded contract research and development services performed for strategic partners, customers and the U.S. government directed toward either the advancement of the Company's proprietary technology portfolio or the application of proprietary technology to customer's products; and 2) the manufacture and sale of products engineered by the Company and the contract manufacture of products designed by others. The Company's objective is to leverage its technology base and name recognition to develop and manufacture products for its customers that are superior in performance at competitive prices. To this end, the Company has initially focused its attention on four market areas that have significant growth potential; 1) electric propulsion systems, generators and power electronic inverters for electric, hybrid electric and fuel cell electric vehicles. Virtually every automobile and truck manufacturer worldwide are developing such vehicles. In the case of hybrid electric powerplants, additional customers include Tier I and Tier II automotive suppliers who hope to provide complete hybrid electric systems to their automotive customers; 2) electric propulsion systems and electronic inverters for small vehicles, such as electric wheelchairs, golf carts, small industrial vehicles, lawn and grounds care equipment and the like; 3) under-the-hood power accessories, such as electric air conditioning compressors and electric power steering which are expected to replace existing belt-driven parasitic components now in use as part of the automotive industry's adoption of a new 42 volt standard and fuel cell components such as air compressor drive motors and electronic inverters to manage the operation of the fuel cell, its power generation and the conversion of DC power output of the fuel cell to AC for home use; and 4) distributed power generation products such as wind generators, engine generators and electronic power inverters for both residential and commercial customers that need standby or backup power, remote stand-alone power, as well as, grid-connected power. Fundamental to this strategy is the continual advancement of the Company's proprietary motor, generator, power electronic inverter and software technology portfolio and the maintenance of a high quality and competitive manufacturing capability for products developed by the Company. Substantially all of the Company's research and development activities are funded by its customers, and in most cases, the Company maintains all or substantially all of the intellectual property rights in technology enhancements. The Company has three principal operating units; 1) UQM Technologies, Inc., located in Golden, Colorado, which includes the Corporate Headquarters and Engineering and Product Development Center; 2) wholly owned subsidiary UQM Power Products, Inc., ("UQM Power") located in Frederick, Colorado, which manufactures permanent magnet electric motors, generators, precision gears and gear assemblies; and 3) wholly owned subsidiary UQM Electronics, Inc.

EBITDA for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 was $(164,655) compared to $1,003,998 last year. Technology The Company's technology base includes a number of proprietary technologies and patents relating to brushless permanent magnet motors, generators and power electronic inverters, together with software code to intelligently manage the operation of the system. See also "Patents" below. The typical architecture (Figure 1)[digram of motor omitted] of a UQM(R) motor consists of a stator winding employing a high pole count configuration, which allows for high copper utilization (minimizing energy loss and cost) and a hollow rotor upon which powerful rare earth magnets are mounted on the outer circumference. The stator is affixed to an aluminum housing containing a mounting ring and bearing which allows the rotor to be suspended within the stator. Commutation of the machine is accomplished electronically by sensing the position of the rotor in relation to the stator and intelligently pulsing electrical energy into the stator such that the electric field generated by the stator of the rotor interacts with the magnetic field of the rotor producing rotational motion ("motor operation"). Conversely, the application of rotational motion to the rotor by an external force results in the generation of electrical power ("generator operation"). UQM(R) machines can be operated in either a forward or reverse direction of rotation and either in motor or generator mode and can dynamically change from one mode of operation to another in millisecond response time. The hollow design of the rotor permits the packaging of other components such as gears and electromechanical brakes in the interior of the machine. These design features contribute to lower usage of copper and iron and other materials generally (due to smaller package dimensions), reducing manufacturing cost over those for conventional machines of similar power. In addition, the utilization of (neodymium iron boron "NdFeB") magnet material in a wide range of consumer devices, such as cell phones, disk drives and medical devices, has dramatically improved the availability, performance and price of this material, allowing the Company to price its advanced motors and controls competitively with lesser performing conventional motors which management believes will accelerate the rate of commercialization of the Company's technology. Attributes of the Company's permanent magnet motor technology include brushless electronic commutation; a relatively large air-gap dimension; the use of powerful rare earth NdFeB magnet material; good heat rejection; low iron content; and low mechanical losses. As a result, UQM(R) motors have high operating efficiencies (>90%), high power density (high power output to weight ratio) and generally have smaller external dimensions and weight for a given power output, improving packageability. Attributes of the Company's microprocessor-based digital power electronic inverters include high power operation (600 amps at 400 volts), four quadrant control (forward/reverse and motoring/generation), reduced switching losses (minimizing energy loss), intelligent control and controller area network capability. In addition, the Company has developed and patented a method of control embodied in electronic component architecture and software code (Phase Advance Control) which allows UQM(R) motors to deliver high output torque at low operating speeds and low torque at high operating speeds from the same machine. Conventional permanent magnet motor designs are limited to operating at either high torque and low speeds or low torque at high speeds; but not both. In most vehicle propulsion applications, high torque is required to launch the vehicle from a standing stop transitioning to high power as the vehicle is accelerated to highway speeds. In conventional internal combustion powered vehicles, the transition from high torque to high power is typically accomplished through the multiple gear changes performed by a mechanical transmission. UQM(R) motors, incorporating phase advance technology, are ideally suited as propulsion drives in electric, hybrid electric and fuel cell electric vehicles due to the ability to power a vehicle from a standing stop to highway speeds without mechanical gear changes, thereby eliminating the size, weight and cost of mechanical transmissions. The Company is currently developing the next generation of its motor technology for vehicle propulsion applications which maximizes the advantages of the UQM(R) motor architecture by packaging a single speed gear reduction and differential inside the hollow rotor and integrating the power electronic inverter with the machine. The resulting system is expected to achieve greater power density, be manufacturable at lower costs due to the commonality of component parts, and have improved packageability over existing UQM(R) systems. Similarly, the Company is simultaneously developing a line of modular motors, that are expected to improve the continuous power output of the Company's existing motors and generators by about 25 percent without increasing size or weight. Substantially all of the Company's research and development activities are funded by customers, with the Company typically retaining intellectual property rights in the resulting technology developed. Customer funded development activities are recorded as contract services revenue and the associated development costs are shown as cost of contract services in the Company's financial statements. For the year ended March 31, 2001, revenues from customer funded research and development activities amounted to $2,283,292 an increase of 34.1 percent over the prior year level of $1,702,937. Internally-funded research and development expenditures were $103,231 for the fiscal year versus $378,954 for the prior year. In recent years, the Company has focused its research and development activities on the development of commercial products and production engineering activities to lower the cost of manufacture, as well as enhance the performance and capability of its technology portfolio, as opposed to basic research in the field. Management believes that the Company's future growth is dependent, in part, on the continued advancement of its technology portfolio and its ability to commercialize its technology in additional product applications and markets. Accordingly, the Company expects to continue to pursue additional customer funded programs to accomplish this objective. Competition All of the markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive. The markets served by the technology segment are additionally characterized by rapid changes due to technological advances that can render existing technologies and products obsolete. The technology segment has developed advanced electric propulsion systems and components which it hopes to market to vehicle OEM's throughout the world for use in electric, hybrid electric and fuel cell electric vehicles. At present, the market for such systems is not significant, although various legislative mandates and incentives are expected to accelerate the development of a market for vehicles propelled by such systems.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Financial Condition Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2001 was $2,399,006 and working capital (the excess of current assets over current liabilities) was $4,737,780 compared with $2,085,115 and $5,672,559,respectively, at March 31, 2000. Accounts receivable rose $1,077,147 to $3,899,041 at March 31, 2001 from $2,821,894 at March 31, 2000. The increase is primarily attributable to record revenue levels during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 and extended payment terms offered to selected customers of the Company's mechanical products and electronic products segments. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts increased $242,898 to $572,009 at March 31, 2001 from $329,111 at March 31, 2000. The increase is attributable to higher levels of unbilled work in process on engineering contracts. Estimated earnings on contracts in process rose to $720,333 at March 31, 2001 on costs incurred on contracts in process of $1,974,471 compared to estimated earnings on contracts in process of $180,293 on costs incurred on contracts in process of $645,425 at March 31, 2000. The increase in estimated earnings on contracts in process is attributable to higher levels of contracts in process at March 31, 2001. Inventories rose $3,535,957 to $6,656,236 at March 31, 2001 from $3,120,279 at March 31, 2000. Of this amount, raw material inventories rose $2,712,853 reflecting higher revenue levels, periodic electronic component shortages which necessitated higher stocking levels for all related parts used in the manufacture of affected products, and delays in customer production release authorizations. Finished products inventories rose $1,097,603 reflecting the stocking of certain completed electronic products in anticipation of future shipment release orders. Other current assets declined $348,003 to $52,065 at March 31, 2001 reflecting the collection of amounts due from the disposition of the Company's remaining equity interest in its German joint venture. The Company invested $2,381,564 for the acquisition of property and equipment during fiscal 2001 compared to $483,716 for the prior fiscal year. $1,862,851 of the increase represents expenditures for manufacturing equipment at the Company's electronic products segment to improve manufacturing throughput and component placement density. Land and Buildings declined $335,500 and $1,438,090, respectively, reflecting the sale of real estate held by Unique Building Partners Limited Liability Co. (UBPL). Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, declined $332,666 to $5,662,797 at March 31, 2001 from $5,995,463 at March 31, 2000 due to the amortization of this asset over its 20 year useful life. Accounts payable increased $1,087,943 to $2,467,259 at March 31, 2001 from $1,379,316 at March 31, 2000. The increase is primarily attributable to higher levels of inventory purchases from suppliers. Other current liabilities rose $496,044 to $1,341,506 at March 31, 2001 from $845,462 at March 31, 2000. The increase is primarily attributable to higher payroll associated with higher staffing levels at the Company's electronics products segment and prepayments on engineering contracts not yet in process at year-end in the Company's technology segment. In January, 2001, UBPL a limited partnership in which the Company was a 50 percent owner sold its principal asset, the Company's headquarters building in Golden, Colorado, and was subsequently liquidated. As a result of this transaction, the Company received cash proceeds of $1.2 million and recorded a deferred gain that will be recognized over the remaining term of the Company's lease, including extensions. At March 31, 2001 the current portion of the deferred gain was $115,713 and the long-term portion of the deferred gain was $636,423. Current portion of long-term debt decreased $106,438 to lease including $865,685 at March 31, 2001 from $972,123 at March 31, 2000 primarily due to the retirement of the mortgage upon sale of the Company's headquarters building in Golden, Colorado by UBPL. Revolving line-of-credit rose to $4,037,000 at March 31, 2001 due to expanded working capital requirements during the fiscal year associated with higher levels of trade accounts receivable and inventory. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts rose $118,320 to $197,819 at March 31, 2001 from $79,499 at March 31, 2000 reflecting payments by customers for certain sponsored development contracts in advance of the performance of the associated project work. Long-term debt declined $816,384 to $2,606,075 at March 31, 2001 primarily due to scheduled principal repayments on the Company's term bank debt during the fiscal year, and the retirement of the mortgage upon sale of the Company's headquarters in Golden, Colorado, by UBPL. Minority interest in consolidated subsidiary decreased to zero at March 31, 2001 from $413,066 at March 31, 2000 reflecting the liquidation of UBPL. Common stock and additional paid-in capital increased to $174,233 and $50,626,120 at March 31, 2001, respectively, compared to $171,942 and $49,382,877 at March 31, 2000. The increases in these accounts totaling $1,245,534 is attributable to the cash received upon the exercise of stock options by employees of $994,721; cash from the sale of common stock under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $29,270 and cash received upon the exercise of warrants of $96,000. Results of Operations Operations for the year ended March 31, 2001, resulted in a net loss of $3,140,122, or $0.18 per share on total revenue of $26,897,071, compared to a net loss of $6,471,807, or $0.39 per share on total revenue of $20,597,860 for the year ended March 31, 2000 and a net loss of $3,754,070 or $0.24 per share on total revenue of $15,798,418 for the year ended March 31, 1999. Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, excluding asset write-down charges of $712,599 or $0.04 per common share, resulted in a net loss of $2,427,523 or $0.14 per common share compared to a net loss of $2,367,179 or $0.14 per common share and $3,754,070 or $0.24 per common share for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the fiscal year before the foregoing charges improved by $150,148 to $386,760 versus EBITDA of $236,612 last fiscal year and $(1,590,351) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999. EBITDA for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 including charges was $(325,839) compared to $ (3,868,016) and $(1,590,351) for the comparable fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. EBITDA is a broadly used financial term which many investment professionals use as an approximation of the operating cash flow generated by a business. Management believes that this information may be useful to investors in the Company due to the amount of noncash depreciation and amortization charges reported by the Company. Investors are cautioned, however, that EBITDA is not a replacement or substitute for net earnings or loss determined by the application of generally accepted accounting principles and our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled disclosures made by other companies. Revenue from contract services increased 34 percent to $2,283,292 during fiscal 2001 from $1,702,937 for the year ended March 31, 2000 and 50 percent over revenue for the year ended March 31, 1999. The increase in contract services revenue is attributable to continued strong demand for development programs. Product sales for the year increased 30 percent to $24,613,779 compared to $18,894,923 for the year ended March 31, 2000 and 72 percent compared to $14,280,458 for the year ended March 31, 1999. Product sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 by the mechanical products segment increased $292,164 or 7 percent to $4,407,721 compared to $4,115,557 for the comparable fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. Mechanical product sales for the fiscal year ended March 31,2000 increased $582,686 or 16 percent compared to $3,532,871 in the prior fiscal year. The growth in revenue in the mechanical products segment for each fiscal year is primarily attributable to increased shipments of wheelchair motors. Product sales during fiscal 2001 for the electronic products segment increased 36 percent to $19,110,954 compared to $14,056,151 for the year ended March 31, 2000. The growth in revenue in the electronic products segment is primarily attributable to the launch of a value added product for an existing customer, higher production volumes for certain customers and new business launches during the fiscal year. Electronic product sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 increased 39 percent to $14,056,151 compared to $10,129,729 for the year ended March 31, 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of new customer accounts. Product sales for the year by the technology segment increased 51 percent to $1,095,104 compared to $723,215 for the year ended March 31, 2000. . Technology product sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 increased 17 percent compared to $617,858 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999. The growth in revenue in the technology segment for each fiscal year is primarily attributable to increased shipment of Powerphase 100(R) systems during the year. Consolidated gross profit margin for fiscal 2001 was 7.4 percent compared to 15.4 and 8.2 percent for the comparable fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, respectively. Gross profit on contract services was 15.4 percent this year compared to 23.7 and 3.0 percent for fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively. The decline in contract services margins for the current year versus last year is attributable to cost overruns on development programs. The improvement in contract services margins for the current year versus fiscal 1999 is attributable to reduced levels of cost overruns on development programs and improved pricing. Gross profit margins on product sales this year were 6.6 percent compared to 14.6 and 8.7 percent in fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively. The decrease in margins on product sales for this year versus fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999 is primarily attributable to product launch costs and pricing pressure on selected accounts, the writedown of slow moving electronic raw material inventory and lower than expected overhead absorption on gear manufacturing operations in the Company's mechanical products segment. Research and development expenditures for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 declined to $ 103,231 compared to $378,954 and $667,989 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in this year versus fiscal 2000 and 1999 is generally attributable to lower levels of internally-funded development activities and cost-share type contracts Generally, research and development expenditures have declined over the last several years due to the completion of development activities associated with the launch of production wheelchair motors for Invacare Corporation in fiscal 1999, an are expected to remain at approximately current levels through the first half of fiscal 2002. General and administrative expense for the year was $3,990,301 compared to $4,036,732 and $3,461,161 for fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses this year versus last year is primarily due to compensation payable to the Company's former CEO under the terms of his employment agreement last year. The increase in general and administrative expenses for this year versus the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 is primarily attributable to increased marketing expenditures, investment banking fees associated with acquisition activities, and increased reserves for bad debts. Write-down of investments and other assets this year of $320,401 are attributable to the retirement of obsolete electronic equipment and the impairment write-down of the Company's investment in Aeromax Corporation, which did not meet the Company's expectation of near term profitable operations. Write-down of investments and other assets for the year ended March 31, 2000 represents write-downs of the Company's investments in EV Global, Unique Mobility Europa, Taiwan UQM Electric Company and a note receivable from Windemere Eco Development, all of which did not meet the Company's expectation of near term profitable operations. Interest income for fiscal 2001 rose to $66,833 compared to $59,369 in fiscal 2000. The increase is generally attributable to higher yields on invested cash balances. Interest income this year declined $44,532 compared to $111,365 in fiscal 1999. The decrease is attributable to lower levels of cash and cash equivalents throughout this fiscal year. Interest expense declined to $450,322 for the year ended March 31, 2001 compared to $483,298 last year. The decrease is attributable to lower levels of term-debt throughout the fiscal year. Interest expense rose $111,926 this year from $338,396 for fiscal 1999. The increase is attributable to higher levels of borrowings throughout this fiscal year on the Company's lines-of-credit. Equity in loss of joint ventures was zero this year versus $280,170 and $417,801 for the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease for this year versus last year and fiscal 1999 is due to the Company's write-down of its investment in Taiwan UQM, EV Global, Europa, and WED last year at which time it ceased recording its pro-rata shares of the operating losses of these entities. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's cash balances and liquidity throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 were adequate to meet operating needs. For the year ended March 31, 2001 net cash used by operations was $3,522,690 compared to $1,744,746 for the comparable prior year. The increase in cash used by operating activities is primarily attributable to higher levels of accounts receivables resulting from increased revenues and the granting of extended terms to selected customers and higher inventory levels somewhat offset by higher levels of trade accounts payable. Cash used by investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2001 was $342,750 compared to $1,015,393 for the prior fiscal year. The change is primarily attributable to the proceeds of $1,752,365 from the sale of the Unique Building Partners Limited Liability Co's principal asset, the Company's headquarters building located in Golden, Colorado and the subsequent liquidation of the Limited Liability Company offset by increased capital expenditures for property and equipment of $1,897,848. The Company's cash requirements throughout the period were funded primarily from existing cash balances, cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants and employee stock options, proceeds for the sale of the Company's Headquarters Building by UBPL and from borrowings on the Company's revolving lines-of-credit. UQM Power Products has a line-of-credit facility with a commercial bank in the amount of $750,000 which is scheduled for renewal in December 2001. At March 31, 2001 no amount was drawn against this facility. All financing of UQM Power has been unconditionally guaranteed by UQM Technologies as the parent entity. UQM Electronics has a line-of-credit with a commercial bank in the amount of $5.0 million expiring in August 2001 which the Company either expects to renew or replace with a similar facility. At March 31, 2001, approximately $4.0 million was drawn against this facility. All financing of UQM Electronics has been unconditionally guaranteed by UQM Technologies as the parent entity. The Company believes that its existing cash balances and bank lines-of-credit will be sufficient to meet its operating capital requirements for at least the next twelve months, exclusive of acquisition financing requirements. For the longer-term, the Company expects to continue its strategy of growing its business through expanding its product line of permanent magnet motors and controllers, securing production orders from new and existing customers for gear and component assemblies, design and introduce new products for manufacture, seek strategic alliances to accelerate the commercialization of its technology and pursue synergistic and accretive acquisitions. The Company expects to finance its future growth from existing cash resources, cash flow from operations, and through the issuance of equity or debt securities or a combination thereof. There can, however, be no assurance that such financing or capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event financing or capital for future growth as envisioned under the Company's strategy is not available, the Company will modify its strategy to align its operations with its then available financial resources. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. The Company does not use financial instruments to any degree to manage these risks and does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. Subsequently, all of the Company's product sales, and related receivables are payable in U.S. dollars. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its debt obligations. Long-term debt obligations have fixed interest rates and the Company's lines-of-credit have variable rates of interest indexed to the prime rate. Interest rates on these instruments approximate current market rates as of March 31, 2001. ITEM 8.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Description of Business UQM Technologies, Inc., formerly Unique Mobility, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") is engaged in the research, development and commercialization of permanent magnet electric motors and the electronic controls for such motors, the grinding and manufacturing of high precision gears and the manufacture and sale of electronic printed circuit board assemblies, wire harness assemblies and other electronic products. The Company's revenue is derived primarily from product sales to customers in the automotive, agriculture, telecommunications, industrial, medical and aerospace markets, and from contract research and development services. The Company is impacted by other factors such as the continued receipt of contracts from industrial and governmental parties, its ability to protect and maintain the proprietary nature of its technology, its continued product and technological advances and the ability of the Company and its partners to commercialize its products and technology. (b) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UQM Technologies, Inc. and those of all majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in affiliated entities in which the Company has less than a 50 percent ownership interest and the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for by the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is originally recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted to recognize the Company's share of the net income or losses of the affiliates. Recognition of any such losses is generally limited to the extent of the Company's investment in, advances to, commitments and guarantees for the investee. Other investments, in which the Company has a minimal ownership interest and does not exercise significant influence, are carried at cost. The minority interests as of March 31, 2000, consisted of the other stockholders' ownership interests in a subsidiary of the Company. See Note 4. (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash on hand and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. UQM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued (d) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. (e) Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to five years, except for buildings, which are depreciated over 31 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. (f) Patent and Trademark Costs Patent and trademark costs consist primarily of legal expenses, and represent those costs incurred by the Company for the filing of patent and trademark applications and the costs to maintain the patents in good standing. Amortization of patent and trademark costs is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, typically 17 years for patents, and 40 years for trademarks. (g) Goodwill The excess of the consideration exchanged over the fair value of the net assets obtained in acquisitions is recorded as goodwill. Amortization of goodwill is calculated using the straight-line method over a period of 20 years. (h) Long-Lived Assets The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets, investments and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. (i) Contract Services Revenue and Cost Recognition Revenue relating to long-term fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, contract revenues and related costs are recognized based on the percentage that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated costs. Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to cost and revenue, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. UQM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontract and labor costs and other indirect costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is accrued. The aggregate of costs incurred and estimated earnings recognized on uncompleted contracts in excess of related billings is shown as a current asset, and billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs incurred and estimated earnings is shown as a current liability. The Company manufactures proprietary products and other products based on design specifications provided by its customers. Revenue from sales of products are generally recognized at the time title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer which is typically when products are shipped based on the terms of the customer purchase agreement. (j) Income Taxes Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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. (k) Research and Development Costs of researching and developing new technology or significantly altering existing technology are charged to operations as incurred. (l) Equity Instruments Issued for Non-Employee Services The Company periodically issues common stock or stock options to non-employees for services rendered. The cost of these services is recorded based upon the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance or the fair market value of the stock option determined using an appropriate option pricing model. (m) Foreign Currency Translation The net assets of foreign investments of the Company are translated at the appropriate period-end exchange rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Net exchange gains or losses resulting from such translation are excluded from results of operations and accumulated as a separate component of stockholders' UQM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued equity until realized or investments are disposed of. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense). (n) Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net loss and other comprehensive income (loss) items which under generally accepted accounting principles are excluded from net loss but included as a component of stockholders' equity. At March 31, 2001 and 2000, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted entirely of unrealized foreign currency losses. (o) Loss Per Common Share Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS 128"), requires presentation of both basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by all outstanding and dilutive potential shares during the periods presented, unless the effect is antidilutive. (p) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (q) Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. (2) Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts and Billings in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts At March 31, 2001, the estimated period to complete contracts in process ranged from 1 to 15 months, and the Company expects to collect substantially all related accounts receivable arising therefrom within sixteen months. UQM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued The following summarizes contracts in process at March 31, 2001, and 2000:

This facility serves as the Company's corporate headquarters. Ownership in this limited liability company is divided equally between the Company and the private investor. However, the Company is deemed to have a controlling interest in the limited liability company by virtue of the operating agreement which authorizes the Company to make all decisions with respect to the business of the limited liability company, subject only to certain protective rights of the private investor, and by virtue of the lease agreement with the limited liability company covering the entire facility. UQM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued The limited liability company is, therefore, accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary. Minority interest in consolidated subsidiary represents the private investor's allocable portion of the equity of the consolidated subsidiary. In January 2001, the Limited Liability Company sold the Golden, Colorado real estate held by it for $3.0 million in cash. Subsequent to the sale the Limited Liability Company was liquidated. Cash proceeds to the Company from the transaction and the subsequent liquidation were $1.2 million. The Company's lease on the facility expires in September 2002, and the Company has an option to extend the lease for an additional term of five years at the then prevailing market lease rate. Recognition of the Company's gain on the transaction of $752,136 is being deferred over the remaining term of the Company's lease of the facility, including available extensions. (5) Investment in Taiwan Joint Venture The Company has a 38-1/4 percent interest in a joint venture, Taiwan UQM Electric Co., Ltd. ("Taiwan UQM"), with Kwang Yang Motor Co., Ltd., and Turn-Luckily Technology Co., Ltd. Since its inception, Taiwan UQM has incurred substantial operating losses and the Company has reported its proportionate share of such losses and foreign exchange rate fluctuations as a reduction in the recorded value of its investment in Taiwan UQM under the equity method of accounting. Because of continued operating losses at September 30, 1999 the Company evaluated this investment relative to its potential to achieve profitable operations over the near-term and the Company's potential to recover the recorded value of its investment. Based on its assessment of these factors and the uncertainty of recovering its investment, on September 30, 1999 the Company wrote down the carrying value of this investment from $1,476,233 to zero. Consequently, the Company discontinued recording its share of the net losses of the joint venture subsequent to the date of the write-down. Prior to the write down the Company reported its proportionate share of the losses of Taiwan UQM under the equity method of accounting. The cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments with respect to the Taiwan joint venture is included in accumulated other comprehensive income until the investment is sold or liquidated. UNIQUE MOBILITY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued (6) Investment in EV Global The Company owns 400,000 shares of EV Global Motors Company (EVG) common stock. EVG sells electric bicycles. In June 1999, the Company acquired an approximately 9.5 percent participation in a $5.225 million convertible note receivable from Windermere Eco Development Limited, a Bahamian company ("WED") held by EVG, for $500,000 in cash. WED is an environmentally sensitive development of Windermere Island in the Bahamas. The entire loan is convertible into approximately 50.4 percent of the total outstanding equity of WED. Therefore, if EVG converts the loan, Unique will have the right to receive approximately 4.82 percent of the equity of WED. Because of continuing operating losses reported by these investees at September 30, 1999 the Company evaluated its investment in EVG and WED relative to their potential to achieve profitable operations over the near-term and the Company's potential to recover the carrying value of its investment in each Company. Based on its assessment of these factors, on September 30, 1999 the Company wrote down the carrying value of EVG from $1,000,000 to zero and the carrying value of its interest in the WED note receivable from $515,708 to zero. (7) Investment in Germany Joint Venture In May, 1999, the Company and three other entities formed a German private company, Unique Mobility Europa GmbH (Europa), to develop and manufacture a battery-electric cargo and passenger vehicle. Europa was initially capitalized with DM50,000 cash (US $9,573) and a contribution to surplus of 625,000 shares of Unique Mobility, Inc. common stock, of which 208,333 were newly issued shares contributed by the Company in exchange for 33.6 percent ownership interest in Europa. On October 8, 1999 the Company entered into an agreement with the Shareholder's of Europa providing for the reduction of its ownership percentage to 5.9 percent. As a result of this agreement and the Company's assessment of the potential for Europa to achieve profitable operations over the near-term and the Company's potential to recover the carrying value of its investment, the Company wrote down the carrying value of its investment from $1,112,687 to zero at September 30, 1999. During the year ended March 31, 2001 the Company sold its remaining ownership interest in Europa. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction. UQM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Also during the year the Company evaluated its investment in Aeromax Corporation relative to their potential to complete product development activities and launch commercial products, achieve profitable operations over the near-term and the potential for the Company to recover the carrying value of its investment. Based on its assessment of these factors, the Company wrote down the carrying value of its investment in Aeromax and associated trade amounts receivable from Aeromax totaling $103,583.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123") defines a fair value method of accounting for employee stock options and similar equity instruments. SFAS 123 permits an entity to choose to recognize compensation expense by adopting the new fair value method of accounting or continue to measure compensation costs using the intrinsic value methods prescribed by APB25. The Company accounts for stock options granted to employees and directors of the Company under the intrinsic value method. Stock options granted to non-employees under the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan are accounted for under the fair value method. Had the Company reported compensation costs as determined by the fair value method of accounting for option grants to employees and directors, net loss and net loss per common share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated in the following table:
Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended March 31, 2001 March 31, 2000 March 31, 1999 -------------- -------------- -------------- Net loss - as reported $ (3,140,122) (6,471,807) (3,754,070) Compensation expense - current period option grants (219,753) (163,069) (129,406) Compensation expense - prior period option grants (778,689) (1,390,466) (1,274,213) --------- --------- ---------- Net loss - pro forma $ (4,138,564) (8,025,342) (5,157,689) --------- --------- --------- Net loss per common share - as reported $ (.18) (.39) (.24) Net loss per common share - pro forma $ (.24) (.48) (.32)
The fair value of stock options granted was calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:

In March 2000, warrants to acquire 179,000 shares expired unexercised. Warrants to purchase 299,375 shares of common stock were extended in fiscal 2000 for a period of eighteen months at the fair value of such extension resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $78,151 and all remain outstanding at March 31, 2001. (14) Alcan Royalty Agreement During 1994, the Company and Alcan Aluminum Limited ("Alcan") executed an agreement in which Alcan assigned to the Company all of its rights, title and interests in certain motor technology developed under a program funded by Alcan.

(16) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable and accounts payable: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Long-term debt and revolving line-of-credit: The carrying amount of the Company's long-term debt and revolving line-of-credit approximates fair value since the interest rate on this debt represents the current market rate for similar financing available to the Company providing comparable security to the lender.

19 ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES 1998 1997 --------------------------- --------------------------- Net loss per books (ROC GAAP) $ (36,187,180) $ (14,075,362) Differences in GAAP: Accounting for pensions - - Accounting for income tax (4,378,571) - Net loss per US GAAP (except for the pension cost) --------------------------- --------------------------- $ (36,187,180) $ (18,453,933) =========================== ===========================
a. Accounting for pensions: Under the ROC Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), only public companies are currently required to adopt ROC SFAS No. 18"Accounting for Pensions"which is similar to US SFAS No. 87. Since the Company is not a public company, it has not adopted ROC SFAS No.18.The Company has not yet established an employees' retirement plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law and has not obtained an actuarial valuation report to accrue the pension liability. b.Accounting for income tax: ROC SFAS No.22"Accounting for Income Tax"is similar to US SFAS No.109. However, the local accounting practices do not require that an 100% valuation allowance for deferred tax assets should be provided in an operating loss situation. The aforementioned difference represented the additional valuation allowance for deferred tax assets to be provided for 1997 under US GAAP. 2. Financial Statement Schedules: None.
