Item 5. OTHER EVENTS

The Company has been notified by a significant customer, Invacare Corporation, that the Invacare Storm(R) wheelchair, propelled by UQM(R) gearless brushless motors, is expected to be phased out of production. The newly introduced Invacare TDX(R) wheelchair does not incorporate gearless brushless motors manufactured by the Company. As a result of these events, the Company does not expect to receive additional new production orders from Invacare Corporation for UQM(R) gearless brushless motors. Revenue derived from Invacare Corporation for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 and the six months ended September 30, 2003 amounted to $4,136,328 and $1,349,217, respectively. The Company will continue to sell field service and warranty units to Invacare Corporation for at least the next six months and potentially beyond. Revenue from these sales is expected to be approximately $30,000 per month.
