Exhibit 99.1

Advisory	Audit & Accounting	Tax

Independent Auditors' Report

The Stockholders and

The Board of Directors of

Megatran Industries, Subsidiaries and Affiliate

Bordentown, New Jersey

Opinion

We have audited the combined financial statements of Megatran Industries, Subsidiaries and Affiliate, which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Megatran Industries, Subsidiaries and Affiliate as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Megatran Industries, Subsidiaries and Affiliate, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the combined financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Megatran Industries, Subsidiaries and Affiliate's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the combined financial statements are issued.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the combined financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

●	Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
●	Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements.
---	---
●	Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Megatran Industries, Subsidiaries and Affiliate's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
---	---
●	Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.
---	---
●	Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Megatran Industries, Subsidiaries and Affiliate's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
---	---

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

Supplementary Information

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the combined financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information in Schedules I, II, and III is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the combined financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the combined financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the combined financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the combined financial statements or to the combined financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the combined financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

December 31, 2023 and 2022

(1)	Nature of Operations

Megatran Industries, Subsidiaries and Affiliate (the Company) includes Megatran Industries (Megatran), a holding company which owns 100% of the common stock of NWL, Inc. (NWL) Hunter Industries, Inc. (Hunter) and BUED (NWL Europe). NWL is a manufacturer of power supplies and transformers for sale to a variety of industries in the United States and internationally. Hunter holds real estate which is leased to NWL. The Company has manufacturing facilities in Bordentown and Florence, New Jersey. NWL Europe is a manufacturer of transformers for sale to a variety of industries in Europe.

In January 2016, NWL International Sales Inc. (NWLIS) was incorporated. NWLIS is an Interest Charge Domestic International Sales Corporation (IC-DISC) that transacts certain international sales on behalf of NWL and receives commissions from NWL. The financial statements of the Company and NWLIS are combined because they are commonly-owned and controlled. The combined financial statements include the accounts of NWLIS despite Megatran having no direct ownership in NWLIS. The carrying amount of the assets included in the Company's combined balance sheets for NWLIS is $5,958 for December 31, 2023 and 2022.

(2)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Combination

The combined financial statements include the accounts of Megatran, NWL, Hunter, NWLIS and NWL Europe. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in combination.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Loses

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Financial Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology (the CECL Model). The CECL Model requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated list of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost. The primary objective of the CECL Model is to provide financial statement users with an estimate of the net amount the entity expects to collect on its financial assets by using an allowance for credit losses.

The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 326 and all related subsequent amendments thereto effective January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company's adoption of the CECEL Model did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment being recorded to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2023, and did not have a material impact on the Company's statements of operations and comprehensive income or cash flows.

December 31, 2023 and 2022

(2)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses, Continued

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management evaluates its historical loss experience and applies this historical loss ratio to financial assets with similar characteristics. The Company's historical loss ratio or its determination of risk pools may be adjusted for changes in customer, economic, market or other circumstances. Significant past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability based on the following customer specific factors: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management's assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts was $10,337,844 as of January 1, 2022.

Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash with national financial institutions, and, at times, such balances may exceed the FDIC insurance limit. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $2,207,136 of cash in excess of FDIC insured limits.

One customer accounts for approximately 45% of the Company's accounts receivable at December 31, 2023 and one customer accounted for approximately 39% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first in, first out basis) or net realizable value.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated based on estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight line method. Maintenance, repairs and betterments are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments that extend the estimated useful lives of the assets are capitalized.

(2)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of goods sold. Revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time consists of sales of power supplies, transformers and capacitors. These goods and services are sold primarily to governmental entities and manufacturers. Deferred revenue includes amounts that customers pay prior to the shipment of products. Deferred revenue was $389,112 as of January 1, 2022.

The Company's principal terms of sale are FOB shipping point and FOB destination and the Company transfers control and records revenue for product sales either upon shipment or delivery to the customer, respectively. The payment terms and conditions in customer contracts vary from 30-90 days from transfer of control. The Company does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale. Variable consideration, including return and warranty activity, is immaterial to revenue and results of operations.

Investment in Joint Venture

The Company accounts for its investment in joint venture using the equity method (see Note 7).

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. The Company applies the guidance in FASB ASU 2014-18, Accounting for Identifiable Intangible Assets in a Business Combination, which allows entities who meet the definition of a private company to subsume many of the types of customer-related intangible assets that they would otherwise recognize separately into goodwill. This accounting alternative will be applied to any future business combination transactions. As a result of the application of ASU 2014-18, the Company is also required to apply the guidance in FASB ASU 2014-02, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, which allows the amortization of all existing and new goodwill. Under ASU 2014-02, goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years, or less than ten years, if the entity demonstrates that a shorter useful life is more appropriate. In addition, entities are required to test goodwill for impairment only upon the occurrence of a triggering event and, upon adoption of the accounting alternative, an entity must make an accounting policy election to test goodwill for impairment at either the entity level or the reporting unit level. Management has elected to amortize goodwill over ten years and test for impairment at the reporting unit level, should triggering events occur. No triggering events were identified during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Investment in Insurance Captive

The Company participates in a group captive insurance program (Captive) for workers' compensation and general liability insurance. Members pay annual premiums, of which an amount may be refunded to a member depending on the member's individual claims, as well as the Captive's overall claims.

Warranty Reserve

The Company offers warranties on its products ranging from twelve to forty months depending on the product line. Warranty reserves are determined based on management's past experience for returns and warranty claims and are included in accrued expenses.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense from continuing operations was $271,218 and $257,557 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities

FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, provides guidance in determining when variable interest entities (VIE)s should be consolidated in the financial statements of the primary beneficiary. If the Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest as a result of having the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the VIE is to be consolidated within the financial statements of the Company. NWLIS has been determined to be a VIE of the Company as NWLIS is dependent on the commission revenue from NWL. Since all rights, obligations and the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance are held by the owners of NWLIS and not by the Company, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of NWLIS and therefore, NWLIS will be combined and not consolidated into the financial statements. The Company does not believe there is any exposure to loss as a result of transactions with NWLIS.

(2)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

Income Taxes, Continued

The stockholders of NWLIS have elected to treat NWLIS as an IC-DISC for federal income tax purposes. NWLIS does not pay federal or state corporate income taxes because NWLIS' taxable income is passed through to the tax returns of the stockholders. Accordingly, no provision is made for federal or state income taxes.

FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. In addition, FASB ASC 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification and disclosure. In addition to its federal returns, the Company files income tax returns in New Jersey and North Carolina. The Company is no longer subject to federal, state or local tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020. It is difficult to predict the timing and resolution of any particular uncertain tax position. Based on the Company's assessment of many factors, including past experience and complex judgments about future events, the Company does not currently anticipate significant changes in its tax positions over the next twelve months.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income and are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying balance sheets.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through March 26, 2024, the date on which the combined financial statements were available to be issued.

Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash with national financial institutions, and, at times, such balances may exceed the FDIC insurance limit. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $3,264,118 of cash in excess of FDIC insured limits.

One customer accounts for approximately 47% of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30, 2024 and one customer accounted for approximately 35% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first in, first out basis) or net realizable value.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of goods sold. Revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time consists of sales of power supplies, transformers, and capacitors. These goods and services are sold primarily to governmental entities and manufacturers. Deferred revenue includes amounts that customers pay prior to the shipment of products. Deferred revenue was $4,212,662 and $5,587,693 as of January 1, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Investment in Joint Venture

The Company accounts for its investment in joint venture using the equity method (see Note 7).

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. The Company applies the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-18, Accounting for Identifiable Intangible Assets in a Business Combination, which allows entities who meet the definition of a private company to subsume many of the types of customer-related intangible assets that they would otherwise recognize separately into goodwill. This accounting alternative will be applied to any future business combination transactions. As a result of the application of ASU 2014-18, the Company is also required to apply the guidance in FASB ASU 2014-02, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, which allows the amortization of all existing and new goodwill. Under ASU 2014-02, goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years, or less than ten years, if the entity demonstrates that a shorter useful life is more appropriate. In addition, entities are required to test goodwill for impairment only upon the occurrence of a triggering event and, upon adoption of the accounting alternative, an entity must make an accounting policy election to test goodwill for impairment at either the entity level or the reporting unit level. Management has elected to amortize goodwill over ten years and test for impairment at the reporting unit level, should triggering events occur. No triggering events were identified during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense from continuing operations was approximately $150,000 and $176,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance in determining when variable interest entities (VIE) should be consolidated in the financial statements of the primary beneficiary. If the Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest as a result of having the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the VIE is to be consolidated within the financial statements of the Company. NWLIS has been determined to be a VIE of the Company as NWLIS is dependent on the commission revenue from NWL. Since all rights, obligations and the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance are held by the owners of NWLIS and not by the Company, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of NWLIS and therefore, NWLIS will be combined and not consolidated into the financial statements. The Company does not believe there is any exposure to loss as a result of transactions with NWLIS.

Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 2015, Megatran, NWL and Hunter elected to be taxed as S corporations under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay federal or state corporate income taxes because the Company's taxable income is passed through to the tax returns of the stockholders. Accordingly, no provision is made for federal or state income taxes. However, it is common for the Company to make distributions to the stockholders to pay the income taxes relating to the Company's income that is passed through to the stockholders' tax returns. Effective January 1, 2023, Megatran Industries, Inc. & Subsidiaries elected into the New Jersey Pass-Through Business Alternative Income Tax which will subject the Company to New Jersey state tax on New Jersey allocated income. The tax provision for New Jersey income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were deemed insignificant to the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no provision is made for federal or state income taxes.

Income Taxes, Continued

FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. In addition, FASB ASC 740 provides guidance on derecognition, classification and disclosure. In addition to its federal returns, the Company files income tax returns in New Jersey and North Carolina. The Company is no longer subject to federal, state, or local tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020. It is difficult to predict the timing and resolution of any particular uncertain tax position. Based on the Company's assessment of many factors, including past experience and complex judgments about future events, the Company does not currently anticipate significant changes in its tax positions over the next twelve months.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income and are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying combined balance sheets.

Exhibit 99.3

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data

On August 1, 2024, American Superconductor Corporation (“AMSC” or the “Company”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with each of the sellers listed on the signature pages thereto (each, a “Selling Stockholder” and collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”), Megatran Industries, Inc, a New Jersey corporation (“Megatran”) and James David Seitz, an individual, solely in his capacity as the stockholder representative thereunder (the “Stockholder Representative”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and concurrently with entering into such agreement, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Megatran (collectively, the “Acquired Interests”) for aggregate consideration in an amount equal to $61,350,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which consideration amount shall be subject to various adjustments set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (including those described below) and consists of: (a) (i) $25,000,000, minus (ii) the Indebtedness (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing, minus (iii) Company Expenses (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) (collectively, the “Cash Purchase Price”); (b) a number of restricted shares (rounded up or down to the nearest whole share, as applicable) (the “Company Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $31,350,000 (the “Share Purchase Price”) by (y) the closing price per share of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the last trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date; and (c) an additional cash payment equal to $5,000,000, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 5.6(c), (d), and (f) of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Additional Cash Purchase Price”).

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information contained herein is based on the historical financial statements of AMSC, and the historical financial statements of Megatran, which are filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, and has been adjusted to give effect to AMSC’s acquisition of Megatran, which was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations.

The historical financials of Megatran were prepared under the standards for private companies and as such reflect accounting for Goodwill according to guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Updated (ASU) 2014-18, Accounting for Identifiable Intangible Assets in a Business Combination, which allows entities who meet the definition of a private company to subsume many of the types of customer-related intangible assets that they would otherwise recognize separately into goodwill. As a result of the application of ASU 2014-18, Megatran also applied guidance in FASB ASU 2014-02, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other which allows amortization of all existing goodwill for private companies. Megatran amortized goodwill over 10 years and tested for impairment at the reporting unit should a triggering event occurs. No triggering events occurred in the reporting periods ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Management considered the difference in accounting treatment from Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations and ASC 350-20 for public companies, as goodwill is not amortized for public reporting companies. Management concluded the impact of amortizing the goodwill by Megatran would not materially change the financial results used to derive the pro forma condensed consolidated financial information contained herein.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 is presented as if the Acquisition (as defined below) had occurred on June 30, 2024 and is based on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of AMSC as of June 30, 2024 (as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024) and the unaudited condensed combined balance sheet of Megatran as of June 30, 2024, which has been derived from its underlying accounting records.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2024 and is based upon the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of AMSC for the three months ended June 30, 2024 (as filed with the SEC in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024) and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of Megatran for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which has been derived from its underlying accounting records.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2024 is presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2023 and is based upon the audited consolidated statement of operations of AMSC for the year ended March 31, 2024 (as filed with the SEC in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024) and the audited combined statement of operations and comprehensive income of Megatran for the year ended December 31, 2023 (included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A).

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect only pro forma adjustments that are (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company beyond twelve months and have not been adjusted to reflect any operating efficiencies that may be realized by AMSC as a result of the Acquisition. AMSC expects to incur certain charges and expenses related to integrating the operations of AMSC and Megatran. AMSC is assessing the combined operating structure, business processes, and other assets of these businesses and is developing a combined strategic operating plan. The objective of this plan will be to enhance productivity and efficiency of the combined operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not reflect such charges and expenses.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are for illustrative purposes only, are hypothetical in nature and do not purport to represent what our results of operations, balance sheet or other financial information would have been if the Acquisition had occurred as of the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable, including an allocation of the purchase price based on an estimate of fair value and excluding certain non-recurring charges as disclosed. These estimates are preliminary and are based on information currently available and could change significantly. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, of AMSC included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,2024 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and the audited combined financial statements of Megatran included in Exhibit 99.1 and unaudited combined financial statements of Megatran included in Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

1. MEGATRAN ACQUISITION

On August 1, 2024, American Superconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“AMSC” or the “Company”), completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Megatran Industries, Inc, (“Megatran”), a New Jersey corporation, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) dated August 1, 2024 between the Company and each of the sellers listed on the signature pages thereto (each, a “Selling Stockholder” and collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”), Megatran Industries, Inc, a New Jersey corporation (“Megatran”) and James David Seitz, an individual, solely in his capacity as the stockholder representative thereunder (the “Stockholder Representative”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased from the Selling Stockholders all of the issued and outstanding shares of Megatran for which the Company paid the Selling Stockholders: (a) (i) $25,000,000, minus (ii) the Indebtedness (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing, minus (iii) Company Expenses (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) (collectively, the “Cash Purchase Price”); (b) a number of restricted shares (rounded up or down to the nearest whole share, as applicable) (the “Company Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $31,350,000 (the “Share Purchase Price”) by (y) the closing price per share of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the last trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date; and (c) an additional cash payment equal to $5,000,000, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 5.6(c), (d), and (f) of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Additional Cash Purchase Price”). As a result of this transaction, Megatran is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The estimated fair value of the common stock issued was determined using $24.16 per share, which was the closing price on the day prior to the day that the Company acquired Megatran.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation at August 1, 2024 (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	481
Investment in joint venture		1,245
Prepaid and other current assets		1,376
Accounts receivable		16,734
Inventory		22,595
Property plant and equipment		28,430
Accrued expenses		(3,203	)
Accounts payable		(4,394	)
Deferred revenue		(4,494	)
Other		(166	)
Deferred tax liability		(6,534	)
Net tangible assets/(liabilities)		52,070
Backlog		700
Customer relationships		1,280
Net identifiable intangible assets		1,980
Goodwill		7,300
Total purchase consideration	$	61,350

This purchase price allocation is preliminary and has not been finalized in that the analysis on the assets and liabilities acquired, primarily the tax related liability, may require further adjustments to our purchase accounting that could result in a measurement adjustment that would impact our reported net assets and Goodwill as of August 1, 2024. Material changes, if any, to the preliminary allocation summarized above will be reported once the related uncertainties are resolved, but no later than August 1, 2025. The $6.5 million of deferred tax liability is primarily related to property, plant and equipment. We have concluded that, based on the standard set forth in ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, it is more likely than not that we will realize the expenses from these deferred tax liabilities.

The excess of the purchase price over estimated fair values assigned to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is $7.3 million, which represents the amount of non-deductible goodwill resulting from the Megatran acquisition. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangible – Goodwill and Other Assets, we will test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if we become aware of any events occurring or changes in circumstances that would indicate a reduction in the fair value of the goodwill below its carrying amount.

BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 gives pro forma effect to the Acquisition as if the Acquisition had occurred on June 30, 2024. The Acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting pursuant to which the purchase price is allocated among the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities in accordance with estimates of their fair values on the date of acquisition. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 was prepared by combining the Company’s historical unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 with Megatran’s historical unaudited combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the last full fiscal year was prepared by combining the Company’s historical audited statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 with Megatran’s historical audited statement of operations and comprehensive income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was prepared by combining the Company’s historical unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 with Megatran’s historical unaudited statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statements of operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 and the three months ended June 30, 2024 give pro forma effect to the Acquisition as if the transaction had occurred on April 1, 2023 or April 1, 2024, respectively.

The pro forma adjustments represent the Company’s preliminary determination of purchase accounting adjustments and are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments and certain assumptions are described in the accompanying notes. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and may be revised upon the completion of the review of the fair value accounting and tax impacts from acquisitions, which is in progress. The final allocation of purchase price could differ materially from estimated allocated amounts included in these pro forma financial statements. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information presented below does not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations of the Company had such transactions actually been completed as of the assumed dates and for the periods presented, or which may be obtained in the future.

The following summarizes the preliminary estimated purchase price paid to Megatran and used in the allocation to account for Acquisition (in millions):

Cash payment	30.0
Issuance of 1,297,600 shares of Company’s Common Stock	31.4

The value of the proceeds from the issuance of the shares of the Company's common stock, for the purpose of determining the accounting purchase price, was determined based on the closing price on the day prior to the acquisition of Megatran.

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The following pro forma adjustments (including eliminations) are included in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations:

(a) To record an adjustment to Megatran's inventory to reflect the fair value of inventory, primarily work in progress, at the date of Acquisition. The related expense has not been included as an adjustment to cost of revenue in the pro forma statements of operations because its impact is not expected to recur beyond twelve months from the date of the Acquisition.
(b) To record an adjustment to Megatran's property, plant and equipment to reflect the fair value of property, plant and equipment at the date of Acquisition. The related depreciation expense has not been included as an adjustment to operating expenses in the pro forma statements of operations because its impact is not expected to be material as the primary asset acquired is land.
(c) To record an increase in accounts payable for the estimated acquisition transaction costs incurred as of June 30, 2024
(d) To record preliminary estimated deferred tax liabilities related to the non-deductible identifiable intangible assets, at 22.64% reflecting the federal and state of New Jersey effective tax rate.
(e) To record the elimination of Megatran's historical retained earnings and equity accounts, and to reflect $61.350 million in cash and the fair value of the equity issuance of 1,297,600 shares of Common Stock for the consideration transferred.
(f) To record the amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets including Contractual relationships/backlog and Customer relationships for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, and the three months ended June 30, 2024.

---
h) To reflect an increase in the weighted average shares outstanding for the period after giving effect to the issuance of AMSC common stock in connection with the Acquisition.
(i) To record the estimated value of goodwill acquired, which is estimated as the difference between the purchase price of $61.350 million and the estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities. The goodwill recorded represents the anticipated incremental value of future cash flow potential attributable to the ability to grow the Grid business product lines though Megatran leveraging its customer base.
(J) To record the estimated fair value of the interest in the joint venture at the date of Acquisition.
(k) To record the settlement of the line of credit and the accrued stockholders' distribution as of the date of Acquisition.
