In this Amendment No. 2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 5, 2007, Windtec Consulting, GmbH (“Windtec”) is restating its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statement of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the year then ended as a result of errors related to Windtec’s inadvertent failure to account for one of its contracts entered into during the year ended December 31, 2006 relating to the development of a prototype. The restatement resulted in a reduction of €214,684 (approximately $270,000) in the net income of Windtec for the year ended December 31, 2006 from €746,015 to €531,331. This restatement is more fully described in Note 2, “Restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements” to the consolidated financial statements of Windtec.

In addition, as a result of the error discussed above, American Superconductor Corporation (“AMSC” or the “Company”) is restating the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet at December 31, 2006 of the Company and the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations of the Company for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and the accompanying notes.

Other than as discussed above, this Amendment No. 2 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 8-K dated March 23, 2007 or modify or update disclosures affected by subsequent events.

The financial statements of Windtec and the related opinion of its independent registered public accounting firm and the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Company included in the current report on Form 8-K/A filed by the Company on March 23, 2007 should not be relied upon and are superceded in their entirety by this Amendment No. 2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K.
