Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 20, 2007, we entered into a $4.7 million contract with the U. S. Air Force to develop Semiconductor-Tuned High Temperature Superconducting Filters for Ultra-Sensitive Radio Frequency Receivers (SURF). Upon successful completion of the initial contract, the U.S. Air Force has an option to extend the contract for an additional $5.4 million to develop a prototype rack-mountable system incorporating a reconfigurable, ultra-fast tuned filter.

On April 23, 2007, we issued a press release announcing the U.S. Air Force contract award. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99. The press release may also be found on our website on the Investor Relations page at www.suptech.com.
