Item 8.01 Other Events

Performance Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") holds a convertible note
receivable in the amount of $3,000,000 issued by InSciTek Microsystems, Inc.
("InSciTek"), an unrelated company.  This note receivable was fully reserved at
December 31, 2004.  On August 11, 2005, InSciTek received a cash investment
totaling approximately $4,000,000 from outside investors.

In connection with this new financing, the Company and InSciTek entered into
Amendment No. 2 to the Investment and Note Purchase Agreement which modified
certain terms of the Company's convertible note receivable. Under the new terms,
the parties agreed to the following:

        -   The Company will receive shares of InSciTek series A preferred stock
            as payment for unpaid interest due to the Company as of the date of
            closing;

        -   The convertible note receivable will continue to bear interest at
            10% annually but the interest will be paid only in the event a
            dividend is paid by InSciTek to its series 2 preferred stockholders;

        -   The Company forfeited its right to acquire ownership of InSciTek;
            and

        -   The convertible note receivable is convertible into series 2
            preferred stock of InSciTek, as defined in the agreement.
