As a result of the resignation and First Albany's reduction of its ownership in Mechanical Technology, announced on December 23, 2002, First Albany's investment in Mechanical Technology will no longer qualify for the equity method of accounting. Goldberg retains his seat on the board of directors of MTI MicroFuel Cells Inc.
