AMERICAN SUPERCONDUCTOR CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Nature of the Business and Operations and Liquidity Nature of the Business and Operations American Superconductor Corporation These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) instructions to Form Liquidity The Company has historically experienced recurring operating losses and as of In February 2021, the Company The Company continues to experience inflationary pressure in its supply chain and some delays in sourcing materials needed for its products resulting in some production disruption, both of which have increased the Company’s cost of revenues and decreased gross margin. While the impact of inflation has been challenging, the Company From time-to-time the Company The Company believes that based on the information presented above and its quarterly management assessment, it has sufficient liquidity to fund its operations and capital expenditures for the next twelve months following the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the 2. Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenues in its Grid business segment are derived primarily through enabling the transmission and distribution of power, providing planning services that allow it to identify power grid needs and risks, and developing ship protection systems for the U.S. Navy. The Company’s revenues in its Wind business segment are derived primarily through supplying advanced power electronics and control systems, licensing its highly engineered wind turbine designs, and providing extensive customer support services to wind turbine manufacturers. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606. For its customer contracts, the Company identifies the performance obligations, determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when (or as) control of goods or services is transferred to the customer. In the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, 79% and 78% of revenue, respectively, was recognized at the point in time when control transferred to the customer, with the remainder being recognized over time. In the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, 83% and 77% of revenue, respectively, was recognized at the point in time when control transferred to the customer, with the remainder being recognized over time. In the Company's equipment and system product line, each contract with a customer summarizes each product sold to a customer, which typically represents distinct performance obligations. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation using the respective standalone selling price which is determined primarily using the cost-plus expected margin approach and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s product sales transfer control to the customer in line with the contracted delivery terms and revenue is recorded at the point in time when title and risk transfer to the customer, which is primarily upon delivery, as the Company has determined that this is the point in time that control transfers to the customer. In the Company's service and technology development product line, there are several different types of transactions, and each begins with a contract with a customer that summarizes each product sold to a customer, which typically represents distinct performance obligations. The technology development transactions are primarily for activities that have no alternative use and for which a profit can be expected throughout the life of the contract. In these cases, the revenue is recognized over time, but in the instances where the profit cannot be assured throughout the entire contract then the revenue is recognized at a point in time. Each contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation using the respective standalone selling price which is determined primarily using the cost-plus expected margin approach. The ongoing service transactions are for service contracts that provide benefit to the customer simultaneously as the Company performs its obligations, and therefore this revenue is recognized ratably over time throughout the effective period of these contracts. The transaction prices on these contracts are allocated based on an adjusted market approach which is re-assessed annually for reasonableness. The field service transactions include contracts for delivery of goods and completion of services made at the customer's requests, which are not deemed satisfied until the work has been completed and/or the requested goods have been delivered, so all of this revenue is recognized at the point in time when the control changes, and at allocated prices based on the adjusted market approach driven by standard price lists. The royalty transactions are related to certain contract terms on transactions in the Company's equipment and systems product line based on activity as specified in the contracts. The transaction prices of these agreements are calculated based on an adjusted market approach as specified in the contract. The Company reports royalty revenue for usage-based royalties when the sales have occurred. In circumstances when collectability is not assured and a contract does not exist under ASC 606, revenue is deferred until a non-refundable payment has been received for substantially all the amount that is due and there are no further remaining performance obligations. The Company's service contracts can include a purchase order from a customer for specific goods in which each item is a distinct performance obligation satisfied at a point in time at which control of the goods is transferred to the customer. This transfer occurs based on the contracted delivery terms or when the requested service work has been completed. The transaction price for these goods is allocated based on the adjusted market approach considering similar transactions under similar circumstances. Service contracts are also derived from ongoing maintenance contracts and extended service-type warranty contracts. In these transactions, the Company is contracted to provide an ongoing service over a specified period of time. As the customer is consuming the benefits as the service is being provided, the revenue is recognized over time ratably. The Company’s policy is not to accept volume discounts, product returns, or rebates and allowances within its contracts. In the event a contract was approved with any of these terms, it would be evaluated for variable consideration, estimated and recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related product revenue was recorded. The Company provides assurance-type warranties on all product sales for a term of typically one to three years, and extended service-type warranties are available for purchase at the customer's option for an additional term ranging up to four additional years. The Company accrues for the estimated warranty costs for assurance warranties at the time of sale based on historical warranty experience plus any known or expected changes in warranty exposure. For all extended service-type warranties, the Company recognizes the revenue ratably over time during the effective period of the services. The Company records revenue net of sales tax, value added tax, excise tax and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control over the products sold passes to customers and revenue is recognized. The Company has elected to recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as expense when incurred except in contracts where the amortization period would exceed twelve months; in such cases the long-term amount will be assessed for materiality. The Company has elected not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the period of financing is twelve months or less. The Company has elected to recognize revenue based on the As Invoiced practical expedient if there is a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Company's performance. The Company monitors costs to meet its obligations on its customer contracts. When it is evident that there is a loss expected on a contract, a contract loss is accrued in the period. Several long-term contracts that were acquired from Neeltran, Inc. (“Neeltran”) were impacted by higher than planned costs due to required design changes and inflation on material costs, resulting in an increase to the contract loss accrual of $1.0 million and $1.2 million in the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, which negatively impacted the Company's gross margins. The contract loss accrual decreased by $0.9 million in each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as projects have been completed. The Company’s contracts with customers do not typically include extended payment terms and may include milestone billing over the life of the contract. Payment terms vary by contract type and type of customer and generally range from 30 to 60 days from delivery. The following tables disaggregate the Company’s revenue by product line and by shipment destination (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Six Months Ended September 30, 2023 Product Line: Grid Wind Grid Wind Equipment and systems Services and technology development Total Region: Americas Asia Pacific EMEA Total Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Six Months Ended September 30, 2022 Product Line: Grid Wind Grid Wind Equipment and systems Services and technology development Total Region: Americas Asia Pacific EMEA Total As of September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company’s contract assets and liabilities primarily relate to the timing differences between cash received from a customer in connection with contractual rights to invoicing and the timing of revenue recognition following completion of performance obligations. The Company's accounts receivable balance is made up entirely of customer contract related balances. Changes in the Company’s contract assets, which are included in “Unbilled accounts receivable” and “Deferred program costs” (see Note 7, “Accounts Receivable” and Note 8, “Inventory” for a reconciliation to the condensed consolidated balance sheets) and "Contract liabilities", which are included in the current portion and long-term portion of "Deferred revenue" in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, are as follows (in thousands): Unbilled Accounts Receivable Deferred Program Costs Contract Liabilities Beginning balance as of March 31, 2023 Increases for costs incurred to fulfill performance obligations Increase (decrease) due to customer billings Decrease due to cost recognition on completed performance obligations Increase (decrease) due to recognition of revenue based on transfer of control of performance obligations Other changes and FX impact Ending balance as of September 30, 2023 Unbilled Accounts Receivable Deferred Program Costs Contract Liabilities Beginning balance as of March 31, 2022 Increases for costs incurred to fulfill performance obligations Increase (decrease) due to customer billings Decrease due to cost recognition on completed performance obligations Increase (decrease) due to recognition of revenue based on transfer of control of performance obligations Other changes and FX impact Ending balance as of September 30, 2022 The Company’s remaining performance obligations represent the unrecognized revenue value of the Company’s contractual commitments. The Company’s performance obligations may vary significantly each reporting period based on the timing of major new contractual commitments. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding performance obligations on existing contracts under ASC 606 to be recognized in the next twelve months of approximately $128.3 million. There are also approximately $43.2 million of outstanding performance obligations to be recognized over a period of thirteen to sixty months. The remaining performance obligations are subject to customer actions and therefore the timing of revenue recognition cannot be reasonably estimated. The following table sets forth customers who represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Reportable September 30, September 30, Segment 2023 2022 2023 2022 Inox Wind Limited Wind <10% <10% Fuji Bridex Pte Ltd Grid Gray Construction, Inc.

Computation of Net Loss per Common Share Basic net loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Where applicable, diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, calculated using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares include the effect of restricted stock, exercise of stock options and warrants and contingently The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the earnings per share calculation for the three and Three Months Ended September 30, Six Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Numerator: Net loss Denominator: Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding Weighted-average shares subject to repurchase Shares used in per-share calculation ― basic Shares used in per-share calculation ― diluted Net loss per share ― basic Net loss per share ― diluted 5. Goodwill and Goodwill Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized but reviewed for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed annually on February 28th and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill might not be recoverable. There were no changes to goodwill during the six months ended September 30, The Company did not identify any triggering events in the Other Intangibles Intangible assets at September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 consisted of the following (in thousands): September 30, 2023 March 31, 2023 Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Book Value Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Book Value Estimated Useful Life Backlog Trade name and trademarks Indefinite Customer relationships Core technology and know-how Intangible assets The Company recorded intangible amortization expense related to customer relationship and core technology and know-how of $0.5 million and $1.1 million, in the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.4 million in the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements A valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value has been established. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data. The Company provides a gross presentation of activity within Level 3 measurement roll-forward and details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements. A change in the hierarchy of an investment from its current level is reflected in the period during which the pricing methodology of such investment changes. Disclosure of the transfer of securities from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 3 is made in the event that the related security is significant to total cash and investments. The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities from Level 1, A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation Techniques Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less that are regarded as high quality, low risk investments, are measured using such inputs as quoted prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Cash equivalents consist principally of certificates of deposits and money market accounts. Contingent Consideration Contingent consideration relates to the earnout payment set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement governing the acquisition of Northeast Power Systems, Inc ("NEPSI") that provides that the selling stockholders may receive up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company upon the achievement of certain specified revenue objectives over varying periods of up to four years following the NEPSI Acquisition Date. See Note 13, "Contingent Consideration" for further discussion. The Company relied on a Monte Carlo method to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration on the closing of the acquisition of NEPSI and continues to revalue the fair value of the contingent consideration using the same method at each subsequent balance sheet date until the contingencies are resolved and the shares to be issued are determined, with the change in fair value recorded in the current period operating loss. The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, measured as of Total Carrying Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) September 30, 2023: Assets: Cash equivalents Derivative liabilities: Contingent consideration March 31, 2023: Assets: Cash equivalents Derivative liabilities: Contingent consideration The table below reflects the activity for the Company’s Acquisition Contingent Consideration Balance at March 31, 2022 Change in fair value Balance at March 31, 2023 Change in fair value Balance at September 30, 2023 7.

Prepaid and Other Current Assets During fiscal 2022, the Company conducted an analysis as to whether it was entitled to employee retention credits (“ERC”) under the CARES Act as amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Based on the analysis, the Company determined that it was entitled to an ERC of approximately $3.3 million related to payroll taxes paid in the first and second quarters of 2021 and the first quarter of 2020. The Company determined it met all the criteria required under the gross receipts test of the applicable Internal Revenue Service regulations related to ERCs. As accounting for payroll tax credits are not within the scope of ASC 740,Income Taxes, the Company has chosen to account for the ERCs by analogizing to the International Accounting Standards Board IAS 20,Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. In accordance with IAS 20, an entity recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants will be received. The Company evaluated its eligibility for the ERC and determined that it met all the criteria to claim a refundable tax credit against the employer portion of Social Security taxes for up to 70% of the qualified wages the Company paid to employees for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 and for up to 50% of the qualified wages the Company paid to employees for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. The Company recorded a $3.3 million receivable in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and a benefit of $1.8 million to Cost of revenues, $0.8 million to SG&A and $0.7 million to Research and development in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 for the ERC that is expected to be received based on the amended filings. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received $3.0 million for the initial claims that were processed. The remaining balance is expected to be received during the remainder of fiscal 2023. 10.

Debt As part of the acquisition of Neeltran, the Company identified four equipment financing agreements that Neeltran had entered into 15. Leases The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of The discount rate was calculated using an incremental borrowing rate based on an assessment prepared by the Operating Leases All significant lease arrangements are recognized at lease commencement. Operating lease right–of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement. The The Company also enters into leases for vehicles, IT equipment and service agreements, and other leases related to its manufacturing operations that are also included in the right-of-use assets and lease liability accounts if they are for a term of longer than twelve months. However, many of these leases are either short-term in nature or immaterial. The Company has made the policy election to exclude short-term leases from the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance Leases As of September 30, 2023, the right-of-use asset related to the finance lease, net of accumulated amortization is less than $0.1 million, and is included in the property and equipment, net on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized similar to an operating lease, at the lease commencement date or the date the lessor makes the leased asset available for use. Finance lease right-of-use assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and the carrying amount of the finance lease liabilities are (1) accreted to reflect interest using the incremental borrowing rate if the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, and (2) reduced to reflect lease payments made during the period. Amortization expense for finance lease right-of-use assets and interest accretion on finance lease liabilities are recorded to depreciation expense and interest expense, respectively in the Company's condensed consolidated statement Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases at September September 30, 2023 March 31, 2023 Leases: Right-of-use assets - Financing Right-of-use assets - Operating Total right-of-use assets Lease liabilities - ST Financing Lease liabilities - ST Operating Lease liabilities - LT Operating Total lease liabilities Weighted-average remaining lease term Weighted-average discount rate The costs related to the Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, 2023 September 30, 2023 Operating Leases: Operating lease costs - fixed Operating lease costs - variable Short-term lease costs Total lease costs Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, 2022 September 30, 2022 Operating Leases: Operating lease costs - fixed Operating lease costs - variable Short-term lease costs Total lease costs The Company’s estimated minimum future lease obligations under the Leases Year ending March 31, 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Thereafter Total minimum lease payments Less: interest Present value of lease liabilities 16. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Contingencies From time to time, the Company is involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. The Company records a liability in its condensed consolidated financial statements for these matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjusts the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in a liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its condensed consolidated financial statements. Other The Company enters into long-term construction contracts with customers that require the Company to obtain performance bonds. The Company is required to deposit an amount equivalent to some or all the face amount of the performance bonds into an escrow account until the termination of the bond. When the performance conditions are met, amounts deposited as collateral for the performance bonds are returned to the Company. In addition, the Company has various contractual arrangements in which minimum quantities of goods or services have been committed to be purchased on an annual basis. As of 17. Restructuring The Company accounts for charges resulting from operational restructuring actions in accordance with ASC Topic 420 On The following table presents restructuring charges and cash payments Severance pay and benefits Accrued restructuring balance at April 1, 2023 Charges to operations Cash payments Accrued restructuring balance at September 30, 2023 Severance pay and benefits Accrued restructuring balance at April 1, 2022 Charges to operations Cash payments Accrued restructuring balance at March 31, 2023 All restructuring charges discussed above are included within restructuring in the Company’s 18.

The Company’s business segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The Company evaluates performance based upon several factors, of which the primary financial measures are segment revenues and segment operating loss. The disaggregated financial results of the segments reflect allocation of certain functional expense categories consistent with the basis and manner in which Company management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of assisting in making internal operating decisions. In addition, certain corporate expenses which the Company does not believe are specifically attributable or allocable to either of the two business segments have been excluded from the segment operating loss.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS American Executive Overview We are a leading system provider of megawatt-scale power resiliency solutions that Our We manufacture products using two proprietary core technologies: We operate our business under two market-facing business units: • • Our fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. When we refer to a particular fiscal year, we are referring to the fiscal year We continue to experience some inflationary pressure in our supply chain and some delays in sourcing materials needed for our products, resulting in some production disruption, both of which have increased our cost of revenues and decreased gross margin. While the impact of inflation has been challenging, we continue to take actions to limit this pressure including adjusting the pricing of our products and services. Changes in macroeconomic and market conditions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, or for other reasons, such as the ongoing wars between Russia and Ukraine or Israel and Hamas, inflation, rising interest rates, labor force availability, sourcing, material delays and global supply chain disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. From time-to-time we may undertake restructuring activities in order to align our global organization in a manner that we believe will better position us to achieve our long-term goals. In January 2023, we undertook a reduction in force that involved approximately 5% of our global workforce. This restructuring is expected to incur $1.0 million of cash expenses, $0.8 million of which has been paid as of September In February 2023, we Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and 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 under different assumptions or conditions.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise additional capital, on favorable terms or at all, from other sources or execute on any other means of improving liquidity described above.2. $ 22,682 $ 4,879 $ 45,808 $ 8,862 5,833 610 8,443 1,145 $ 28,515 $ 5,489 $ 54,251 $ 10,007 $ 24,696 $ 27 $ 47,856 $ 57 3,418 5,462 5,129 9,928 401 — 1,266 22 $ 28,515 $ 5,489 $ 54,251 $ 10,007 $ 24,128 $ 1,330 $ 42,204 $ 3,302 1,570 652 3,323 1,531 $ 25,698 $ 1,982 $ 45,527 $ 4,833 $ 18,021 $ - $ 34,923 $ - 6,178 1,912 8,855 4,763 1,499 70 1,749 70 $ 25,698 $ 1,982 $ 45,527 $ 4,833 $ 9,958 $ 2,136 $ 50,760 — 2,110 — (13,981 ) — 34,284 — (2,160 ) — 10,351 — (25,710 ) 7 (11 ) (288 ) $ 6,335 $ 2,075 $ 59,046 $ 6,492 $ 858 $ 30,034 — 782 — (7,322 ) — 33,141 — (697 ) — 7,342 — (26,857 ) — (47 ) (863 ) $ 6,512 $ 896 $ 35,455 12 % 12 % <10% 17 % <10% 13 % 11 % <10% <10% <10% <10% 12 % <10% <10% ninesix months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2023 and 20162022 (in thousands): Three months ended December 31, Nine months ended December 31, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Cost of revenues $ 39 $ 40 $ 98 $ 139 Research and development 184 61 294 153 Selling, general and administrative 660 512 1,723 1,974 Total $ 883 $ 613 $ 2,115 $ 2,266 $ 59 $ 78 $ 169 $ 107 156 177 311 355 896 764 1,988 1,590 $ 1,111 $ 1,019 $ 2,468 $ 2,052 37,1409,000 shares and 681,500 shares of restricted stock during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

AcquisitionRelated Other IntangiblesAcquisition of Infinia Technology CorporationOn September 25, 2017, the Company acquired Infinia Technology Corporation ("ITC") for approximately $3.8 million as described below (the "Acquisition"). Located in Richmond, Washington, ITC is a technology firm founded in 2009 specializing in the design, development and commercialization of cryo-coolers for a wide range of applications.Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement ("SPA"), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of ITC (the "ITC Shares") from the selling stockholders, for a purchase price of approximately $3.8 million consisting of $0.1 million in cash and 884,890 shares of the Company’s common stock (the "AMSC Shares"), $0.01 par value per share at a per share price of $4.02 on the acquisition date. Under the terms of the SPA, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement (the "Resale Registration Statement") covering the resale of the AMSC Shares by the selling stockholders no later than 10 business days following the closing of the Acquisition, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay the selling stockholders in cash (the "Make Whole Payment"), if any, equal to (x) an amount equal to (i) the price per AMSC Share pursuant to the terms of the SPA, multiplied by (ii) the number of AMSC Shares sold by the selling stockholders during the first 90 days after the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, minus (y) the aggregate sales proceeds received by the Selling Stockholders from the sale of any AMSC Shares during the first 90 days after the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement. The Resale Registration Statement was declared effective on October 23, 2017. The contingent liability related to the Make Whole Payment was determined under a fair value option based pricing model to be $0.6 million on September 25, 2017 and was subsequently reassessed at each period end until the final amount due of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2017 was determined according to the agreed upon formula. See Note 5 "Fair Value Measurements" and Note 12 "Warrants and Derivative Liabilities" for further discussion regarding the valuation of this liability. On January 5, 2018, the Company settled the Make Whole Payment to the selling stockholders in the amount of $0.7 million.ITC was integrated into the Company's Grid business unit. The Acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASU 805, Business Combinations. The Company allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of Acquisition. The Company estimated the fair value of the intangible assets at $3.4 million, which consisted of core-technology and know-how, working capital of $0.2 million and property, plant and equipment of less than $0.1 million. A long-term deferred tax liability of $1.1 million was recorded for the differing book and tax basis of the ITC assets and liabilities. Provisional amounts have been recorded for the related tax activity as of December 31, 2017. Final adjustments are expected to be made during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.The following table summarizes the consideration paid for ITC and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date, as well as the fair value at the acquisition date (in millions): September 25, 2017 Consideration Cash $ 0.1 Equity (884,890 shares of common stock at $4.02 per share) 3.6 Contingent consideration 0.6 Total Consideration $ 4.3 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed Core technology and know-how $ 3.4 Working capital 0.2 Property, plant and equipment 0.0 Total identifiable net assets $ 3.6 Long-term deferred tax liability 1.1 Goodwill allocated $ 1.7 At the Acquisition date, the Company valued the Acquisition at $4.2 million (excluding Acquisition costs), using a value of $4.02 per share, which was the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of Acquisition plus $0.1 million in cash and including $0.6 million of contingent consideration for the Make Whole Payment valued as of the closing date. Acquisition costs of less than $0.1 million were recorded in selling, general and administrative costs.The results of ITC's operations, which were not significant from the date of acquisition until December 31, 2017, are included in the Company’s consolidated results from the date of Acquisition of September 25, 2017, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017. Assuming the Acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2017 and 2016, the impact on the consolidated results of the Company would not have been significant.GoodwillAt the time of the Acquisition, the Company allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of Acquisition. The excess of the purchase price paid by the Company over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired of $1.7 million has been recorded as goodwill in the Company's Grid segment. Goodwill represents the value associated with the acquired workforce and synergies related to the merger of the two companies.The guidance under ASC 805-30 provides for the recognition of goodwill on the Acquisition date measured as the excess of the aggregate consideration transferred over the net of the Acquisition date amounts of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the contingent consideration included in the total consideration transferred was determined using the Black Scholes pricing model, and all other consideration transferred was calculated using its observable market fair value. The tangible net assets acquired fair value was based on observable market fair value. The acquired intangible asset fair value was determined using discounted cash flows under an excess in earnings model.The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 as of 2017.

Cash equivalents consist principally of certificates of deposits and money market accounts.WarrantsWarrants were issued in conjunction with a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Capital Ventures International (“CVI”) in April 2012, an equity offering to Hudson Bay Capital in November 2014, and a Loan and Security Agreement with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”) in June 2012 and through subsequent amendments. See Note 11, “Debt,” and Note 12 “Warrants and Derivative Liabilities,” for additional information. These warrants are subject to revaluation at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value will be recorded as a change in fair value in derivatives and warrants until the earlier of their exercise or expiration.The Company relies on various assumptions in a lattice model to determine the fair value of warrants. The Company has valued the warrants within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. See Note 12, “Warrants and Derivative Liabilities,” for a discussion of the warrants and the valuation assumptions used.Contingent ConsiderationContingent consideration relates to the Make Whole Provision set forth in the SPA that requires the Company to guarantee the purchase price of the acquisition should the aggregate proceeds of the resale of AMSC Shares sold by selling stockholders during the first 90 days after the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement be less than the agreed upon purchase price for such AMSC Shares (per the terms of the SPA) sold during such 90 day period. See Note 12, "Warrants and Derivative Liabilities" and Note 4, “Acquisition and Related Goodwill” for further discussion. The Company relied on a Black Scholes option pricing method to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration on the date of acquisition and continued to revalue the fair value of the contingent consideration at each subsequent balance sheet date until the final settlement date, with the change in fair value recorded in the current period operating loss.

As a resultThe Company recorded an income tax benefit of purchase accounting for the acquired intangible assetsless than $0.1 million and an income tax expense of less than $0.1 million in the ITC acquisition, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $1.1 million for the difference in bookthree and tax basis. As a result, the Company was able to benefit additional deferred tax assets and therefore released a corresponding valuation allowance of $1.1 million during the ninesix months ended December 31, 2017. Goodwill recognized in the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”)September 30, 2022, provides limits on the extent to which a corporation that has undergone an ownership change (as defined in the IRC) can utilize any net operating loss ("NOL") and general business tax credit carryforwards it may have. The Company conducted a study as a result of the Company's May 2017 equity offering to determine whether Section 382 could limit the use of its carryforwards in this manner. After completing this study, the Company has concluded that the limitation will not have a material impact on its ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards. If there were material ownership changes subsequent to the study, such changes could limit the Company's ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards. The Company increased its NOL’s by $0.3 million due to acquired losses in the nine months ended December 31, 2017 from ITC. The Company conducted a study on the acquired NOL and concluded that the limitations under Section 382 will not have a material impact on its ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards.On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“tax reform”) was signed into law. ASC Topic 740 requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be measured using the enacted rate for the period in which they are expected to reverse. The tax reform was enacted as of December 22, 2017. Accordingly, the new 21% U.S. Federal corporate tax rate was used to measure the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities that will reverse in future periods. The Company's reduction to its net U.S. deferred tax asset was offset by a corresponding reduction to its valuation allowance. In addition, the new legislation includes a transition tax in which all foreign earnings are deemed to be repatriated to the U.S. and taxable at specified rates included within the tax reform. The Company is in the process of calculating the impact of the transition tax. The analysis is complex and encompasses many years.

The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if, based on the technical merits, it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company re-evaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. The evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit and new audit activity.

In March 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations.In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies certain aspects of identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance.In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow- Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments to guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes collected from customers.In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends certain narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09 including guidance related to the disclosure of remaining performance obligations and prior-period performance obligations, as well as other amendments to the guidance on loan guarantee fees, contract costs, refund liabilities, advertising costs and the clarification of certain examples.As of December 31, 2017, the Company has made significant progress towards completing its assessment of the potential effects of ASU 2014-09 and its amendments on its consolidated financial statements, and is actively assessing the potential effects on business processes, systems and controls to support revenue recognition and the related disclosures under this ASU. The Company’s assessment includes a detailed review of representative contracts from each of the Company’s revenue streams and a comparison of its historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. The Company is required to adopt the new standards on April 1, 2018, and expects to do so retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective transition method). Additionally, this guidance could lead to recognizing certain revenue transactions sooner than in the past on certain contracts, as the Company will need to estimate the revenue it will be entitled to upon contract completion, and later on other contracts, due to lack of an enforceable right to payment for performance obligations satisfied over time. The Company's preliminary assessment of this adoption method supports the determination that there are no expected changes in the accounting for its largest revenue stream which includes Inox Wind Limited as its primary customer. Across other revenue streams the timing of revenue recognition could be affected for multiple types of contracts, primarily multiple element contracts in its grid business unit, but those differences are not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. However, the Company's assessment is not yet finalized and is subject to change. Additionally, the Company is currently evaluating any tax implications the adoption of this new standard may have on the consolidated financial statements. As part of this analysis, the Company is evaluating its information technology capabilities and systems, and does not expect to incur significant information technology costs to modify systems currently in place.During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company plans to assess its current revenue controls, and identify and implement any changes that may be necessary to comply with its new revenue policies and the provisions of ASU 2014-09, which will be effective for the Company as of April 1, 2018.In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in ASU 2016-01 will enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect any significant changes to the consolidated financial statement results with the adoption of ASU 2016-01.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, -13,Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in ASU 2016-132016-13 will provide more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. TheFollowing the release of ASU is2019-10 in November 2019, the effective fordate, as long as the Company remains a smaller reporting company, was annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that year. The2022. As of April 1, 2023, the Company is currently evaluating thehas adopted ASU 2016-13 and noted no material impact if any, the adoption of ASU 2016-13 may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.2016, October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08,Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 will improve the following two ASU's on Statementaccounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. Following the release of Cash Flows (Topic 230). Both amendments areASU 2021-08 in October 2021, the effective fordate was annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that year.In August 2016, 2022. As of April 1, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 will provide more guidance towards the classification of multiple different types of cash flows in order to reduce the diversity in reporting across entities.In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 will explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.The Company does not expect any significant changes to the consolidated financial statement results with the adoption of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18.In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The amendments in ASU 2016-16 will improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that year. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the consolidated financial statement results with the adoption of ASU 2016-16.In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 will clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Companyhas adopted ASU 2017-01 effective September 30, 2017, following the Acquisition of ITC. The Company considered these amendments in2021-08 and noted no material impact on its decision to record the combination of the entities as an acquisition of a business. See Note 4, "Acquisition and Related Goodwill", for further details. These impacts have been included in thecondensed consolidated financial statements.In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The amendments in ASU 2017-03 provide additional detail surrounding disclosures required related to adoption of new pronouncements. The ASU is effective for the periods of each related pronouncement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-03 may have on its consolidated financial statements.In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 eliminated the prior requirement to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of an entity's assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under the new guidelines an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Following the Acquisition of ITC, the Company performed an analysis and determined that the transaction included a portion of goodwill. The Company has accounted for that value on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. See Note 4, "Acquisition and Related Goodwill" for further details. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 effective September 30, 2017, and determined there were no triggering events requiring further impairment analysis at this time. The Company expects to perform its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Non-financial Assets (Subtopic 610-20). The amendments in ASU 2017-05 clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Non-financial Assets, and to add guidance for partial sales of non-financial assets. Subtopic 610-20, which was issued in May 2014 as a part of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of non-financial assets in contracts with non-customers. The Company does not expect any significant changes to the consolidated financial statement results with the adoption of ASU 2017-05.In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Subtopic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company does not expect any significant changes to the consolidated financial statement results with the adoption of ASU 2017-09.In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in ASU 2017-11 provide guidance for freestanding equity-linked financial instruments, such as warrants and conversion options in convertible debt or preferred stock, and should no longer be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-11 may have on its consolidated financial statements.In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 provide improved financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition, the amendments in this update make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance. The ASU is effectivefor annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-12 may have on its consolidated financial statements.18.On February 1, 2018, ASC Devens, LLC (the “Seller”), a wholly owned subsidiary of American Superconductor Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with 64 Jackson LLC (the “Purchaser”) and Stewart Title Guaranty Company (“Escrow Agent”), pursuant to which the Seller has agreed to sell to the Purchaser certain real property located at 64 Jackson Road, Devens, Massachusetts, as described in the PSA, including the building that has served as the Company’s headquarters (collectively, the “Property”), in exchange for total consideration of $23.0 million, which is composed of (i) cash consideration of $17.0 million, and (ii) a $6.0 million subordinated secured commercial promissory note payable to the Seller (the “Seller Note”) at an interest rate equal to the short-term applicable federal rate then in effect at closing (the “Transaction”).

Other fiscal years follow similarly.On25, 2017, we acquired Infinia Technology Corporation (“ITC”) for approximately $3.8 million as described below (the “Acquisition”). Located30, 2023, and to result in Richmond, Washington, ITC is a technology firm founded in 2009 specializing in the design, development and commercialization of cryo-coolers for a wide range of applications.Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”), we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of ITC (the “ITC Shares”) for a purchase priceannualized cost savings of approximately $3.8$5.0 million, consisting of $0.1 millionbeginning in cash and 884,890 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “AMSC Shares”). Under the terms of the SPA,fiscal 2023.were obligated to file a registration statement (the “Resale Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the AMSC Shares by certain selling stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) no later than 10 business days following the closing of the Acquisition, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as soon as practicable thereafter. Additionally, we agreed to pay the Selling Stockholders an amount in cash (the “Make Whole Payment”), if any, equal to (x) an amount equal to (i) the price per AMSC Share pursuant to the terms of the SPA, multiplied by (ii) the number of AMSC Shares sold by Selling Stockholders during the first 90 days after the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, minus (y) the aggregate sales proceeds received by the Selling Stockholders from the sale of any AMSC Shares during the first 90 days after the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement. The Resale Registration Statement was declared effective on October 23, 2017. The contingent liability related to the Make Whole Payment was determined under a fair value option based pricing model to be $0.6 million on September 25, 2017 and was subsequently reassessed at each period end until the final amount of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2017 was determined according to the formula per the agreement. See Note 5 "Fair Value Measurements" and Note 12 "Warrants and Derivative Liabilities" for further discussion regarding thevaluation of this liability. On January 5, 2018 we issued the Make Whole Payment to the selling stockholders in the amount of $0.7 million and settled the contingent liability.We valued the Acquisition at $4.2 million (excluding Acquisition costs), using a value of $4.02 per share, which represents the closing price of our common stock on the closing date of the Acquisition plus $0.1 million in cash and $0.6 million contingent consideration for the Make Whole Payment valued as of the closing date. As a result of this transaction, ITC became a wholly-owned subsidiary and was integrated into our Grid business unit.The results of ITC's operations are included in our consolidated results and our Grid segment reporting from the date of acquisition, September 25, 2017. Assuming the Acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2017 and 2016, the impact on our consolidated results would not have been significant.On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“tax reform”) was signed into law. ASC Topic 740 requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be measured using the enacted rate for the period in which they are expected to reverse. The tax reform was enacted as of December 22, 2017. Accordingly, the new 21% U.S. Federal corporate tax rate was used to measure the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities that will reverse in future periods. Our reduction to our net U.S. deferred tax asset was offset by a corresponding reduction to our valuation allowance.

We review these estimates each accounting period as additional information is known and adjust the loss provision when appropriate. If a matter is both probable to result in liability and the amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated, we estimate and disclose the possible loss or range of loss to the extent necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading. If the loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements.Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsWe do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules, such as relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, which are often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating transactions that are not required to be reflected on our balance sheet except as discussed below.We occasionally enter into construction contracts that include a performance bond. As these contracts progress, we continually assess the probability of a payout from the performance bond. Should we determine that such a payout is probable, we would record a liability.In addition, we have various contractual arrangements in which minimum quantities of goods or services have been committed to be purchased on an annual basis.May 2014,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”("FASB") and the Internationalissued Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The guidance substantially converges final standards on revenue recognition between the FASB and IASB providing a framework on addressing revenue recognition issues and, upon its effective date, replaces almost all existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, in current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The FASB has subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU 2014-09 which are all effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.•In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations.•In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies certain aspects of identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance.•In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow- Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments to guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes collected from customers.•In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends certain narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09 including guidance related to the disclosure of remaining performance obligations and prior-period performance obligations, as well as other amendments to the guidance on loan guarantee fees, contract costs, refund liabilities, advertising costs and the clarification of certain examples.As of December 31, 2017, we have made significant progress towards completing our assessment of the potential effects of ASU 2049-09 and its amendments on our consolidated financial statements, and are actively assessing the potential effects on business processes, systems and controls to support revenue recognition and the related disclosures under this ASU. Our assessment includes a detailed review of representative contracts from each of our revenue streams and a comparison of its historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. We are required to adopt the new standards on April 1, 2018, and expect to do so retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective transition method). Additionally, this guidance could lead to recognizing certain revenue transactions sooner than in the past on certain contracts, as we will need to estimate the revenue we will be entitled to upon contract completion, and later on other contracts, due to lack of an enforceable right to payment for performance obligations satisfied over time. Our preliminary assessment of this adoption method supports the determination that there are no expected changes in the accounting for our largest revenue stream which includes Inox Wind Limited as the primary customer. Across other revenue streams the timing of revenue recognition could be affected for multiple types of contracts, primarily multiple element contracts in our grid business unit, but those differences are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. However, our assessment is not yet finalized and is subject to change. Additionally, we are currently evaluating any tax implications the adoption of this new standard may have on the consolidated financial statements. As part of this analysis, we are evaluating our information technology capabilities and systems, and do not expect to incur significant information technology costs to modify systems currently in place.During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 we plan to assess our current revenue controls, and identify and implement any changes that may be necessary to comply with our new revenue policies and the provisions of ASU 2014-09, which will be effective for us as of April 1, 2018.In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in ASU 2016-01 enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. This ASU is effective forannual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect any significant changes to the consolidated financial statement results with the adoption of ASU 2016-01.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We are currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.In June 2016, the FASB issued ASUUpdate ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 will provide more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. TheFollowing the release of ASU is2019-10 in November 2019, the effective fordate, as long as we remain a smaller reporting company, was annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that year. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption2022. As of April 1, 2023, we have adopted ASU 2016-13 may haveand noted no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.2016,October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 will improve the following two ASU's on Statementaccounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. Following the release of Cash Flows (Topic 230). Both amendments areASU 2021-08 in October 2021, the effective fordate was annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that year.•In August 2016, the FASB issued2022. As of April 1, 2023, we have adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts2021-08 and Cash Payments. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 provide more guidance towards the classification of multiple different types of cash flows in order to reduce the diversity in reporting across entities.•In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shownnoted no material impact on the statement of cash flows.We do not expect any significant changes to theour condensed consolidated financial statement results with the adoption of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18.In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The amendments in ASU 2016-16 improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that year. We do not anticipate any significant changes to our consolidated financial statements with the adoption of ASU 2016-16.In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. We adopted ASU 2017-01 effective September 30, 2017, following the acquisition of ITC. We considered these amendments in our decision to record the combination of the entities as an Acquisition. See Note 4, "Acquisitions and Related Goodwill", for further details. These impacts have been included in the consolidated financial statements.In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The amendments in ASU 2017-03 provide additional detail surrounding disclosures required related to adoption of new pronouncements. The ASU is effective for the periods of each related pronouncement. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-03 may have on our consolidated financial statements.In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 eliminated the prior requirement to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of an entity's assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under the new guidelines an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount bywhich the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Following the Acquisition of ITC, we performed an analysis and determined that the transaction included a portion of goodwill. We have accounted for that value on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. See Note 4, "Acquisitions and Related Goodwill" for further details. Given the results of our analysis, we adopted ASU 2017-04 effective September 30, 2017, and determined there were no triggering events requiring further impairment analysis at this time. The Company expects to perform its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Non-financial Assets (Subtopic 610-20). The amendments in ASU 2017-05 clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Non-financial Assets, and to add guidance for partial sales of non-financial assets. Subtopic 610-20, which was issued in May 2014 as a part of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of non-financial assets in contracts with non-customers. We do not expect any significant changes to the consolidated financial statement results with the adoption of ASU 2017-05.In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Subtopic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. We do not expect any significant changes to the consolidated financial statement results with the adoption of ASU 2017-09.In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in ASU 2017-11 provide guidance for freestanding equity-linked financial instruments, such as warrants and conversion options in convertible debt or preferred stock, and should no longer be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-11 may have on our consolidated financial statements.In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 provide improved financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition, the amendments in this update make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-12 may have on our consolidated financial statements.
