UQM Technologies Reports Second Quarter Operating Results

FREDERICK, Colo.--UQM Technologies, Inc. (AMEX: UQM), a developer of alternative energy technologies, announced today operating results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2007. Continuing operations for the second quarter resulted in a loss of $1,139,894 or $0.04 per common share on total revenue of $1,990,591 versus a loss from continuing operations of $864,930 or $0.04 per common share on total revenue of $1,614,218 for the second quarter last fiscal year. Net loss for the quarter was $1,139,894 or $0.04 per common share versus a net loss of $879,570 or $0.04 per common share for the comparable quarter last fiscal year.

Continuing operations for the six months ended September 30, 2007 resulted in a loss of $2,268,645 or $0.09 per common share on total revenue of $3,445,043 versus a loss from continuing operations of $1,650,614 or $0.07 per common share on total revenue of $2,915,550 last fiscal year. Net loss for the first half was $2,268,645 or $0.09 per common share versus a net loss last year of $1,667,366 or $0.07 per common share.

Total revenue for the quarter rose 23.3 percent versus the second quarter last year fueled by strong growth in both low volume and higher volume product sales which rose 38.5 percent and 62.1 percent, respectively, versus the comparable quarter last year. Similarly, total revenue for the first half rose 18.2 percent driven by a 60.8 percent increase in lower volume product sales and a 69.4 percent increase in higher volume product sales versus the same period last year. Net loss for the quarter and six month period ended September 30, 2007 increased primarily due to substantially higher expenditures on production engineering activities and higher levels of research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses, said Donald A. French, UQM Technologies Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. Separately, we have been notified by Phoenix Motorcars, Inc. of their intention to cancel the Purchase and Supply Agreement with us and an associated purchase order to buy $9.25 million of our products, due to significant issues at Phoenix Motorcars, Inc. unrelated to our performance. We believe that a substantial portion of the purchase order is not subject to cancellation. Accordingly, we expect to hold discussions with Phoenix to obtain additional information regarding their position and pursue a satisfactory resolution.
