Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not represent historical facts. We use words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation”, our plans and expectations regarding future financial results, operating results, business strategies, projected costs, products, competitive positions, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, and industry trends. These forward-looking statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Report on Form 10-Q and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control. Please see “Item 1A: Risk Factors” and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information on risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we are under no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any responsibility to, update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable.

From time to time, representatives of Solar Energy Initiatives, Inc. (f/k/a NP Capital Corp.) ("NP Capital,” "Solar Energy,” the ”Company," “we,” “our,” or “us”) may make public predictions or forecasts regarding the Company's future results, including estimates regarding future revenues, expense levels, earnings or earnings from operations. Any forecast regarding the Company's future performance reflects various assumptions. These assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties, and, as a matter of course, many of them will prove to be incorrect. Further, the achievement of any forecast depends on numerous factors (including those described in this discussion), many of which are beyond the Company's control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company's performance will be consistent with any management forecasts or that the variation from such forecasts will not be material and adverse. Investors are cautioned not to base their entire analysis of the Company's business and prospects upon isolated predictions, but instead are encouraged to utilize the entire available mix of historical and forward-looking information made available by the Company, and other information affecting the Company and its products, when evaluating the Company's prospective results of operations.  In addition, representatives of the Company may occasionally comment publicly on the perceived reasonableness of published reports by independent analysts regarding the Company's projected future performance. Such comments should not be interpreted as an endorsement or adoption of any given estimate or range of estimates or the assumptions and methodologies upon which such estimates are based. Undue reliance should not be placed on any comments regarding the conformity, or lack thereof, of any independent estimates with the Company's own present expectations regarding its future results of operations. The methodologies employed by the Company in arriving at its own internal projections and the approaches taken by independent analysts in making their estimates are likely different in many significant respects. Although the Company may presently perceive a given estimate to be reasonable, changes in the Company's business, market conditions or the general economic climate may have varying effects on the results obtained through the use of differing analyses and assumptions. The Company expressly disclaims any continuing responsibility to advise analysts or the public markets of its view regarding the current accuracy of the published estimates of outside analysts. Persons relying on such estimates should pursue their own independent investigation and analysis of their accuracy and the reasonableness of the assumptions on which they are based.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to condensed consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report on Form 10-Q. Our fiscal year ends on July 31 of the applicable calendar year. All references to fiscal periods apply to our fiscal quarters or year which ends on the last day of the calendar month end.

Going Concern
 
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses from operations since our inception, and at the present time will need additional capital to maintain operations and execute our business plan.  As such, our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon us being able to secure an adequate amount of debt or equity capital to enable us to meet our cash requirements.  In addition, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets, the competitive environment in which we operate and the current credit shortage facing worldwide markets.  See further information in the Subsequent Event Section.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation — Interim Financial Information
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.  They should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements of Solar Energy Initiatives, Inc. for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 appearing in the Company’s Form 10-K. The January 31, 2010 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements filed with the Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
 
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Solar Energy Initiatives, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Solar Energy, Inc. and Solar Park Initiatives, Inc.    All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Financial Instruments
 
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes receivable and payables. These financial instruments are stated at their respective carrying values, which approximate their fair values.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are required to make. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying  financial statements arise from our belief that we will secure an adequate  amount of cash to continue as a going concern, that our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to cover potential losses in our receivable portfolio, that all long-lived assets are recoverable. In addition, the determination and valuation of derivative financial instruments is a significant estimate. The markets for our products are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological development, evolving standards, short product life cycles and price competition, all of which could impact the future realization of our assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. It is at least reasonably possible that our estimates could change in the near term with respect to these matters.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company currently generates revenue from the sale of photovoltaic panels, solar thermal panels, balance of system products, and management system products to our dealers or other parties, and dealer training. The Company anticipates it will not perform any installations. The Company uses the following four basic criteria before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the seller's price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue upon completion of a system installation for residential installations and we recognize revenue under the percentage-of-completion method for commercial installations.  Amounts billed or received from customers in advance of performance are recorded as deferred revenue.  Amounts received from grants or stimulus monies are recognized as deferred revenue until the requirements under governmental guidelines have been met.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts.   There were no accounts receivable presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Management believes there were no uncollectible amounts as of January 31, 2010 therefore an allowance for doubtful accounts is not recorded as of the respective quarter end dates.
 
Warranty Reserves
 
The Company purchases its products for sale from third parties.  The manufacturer warrants or guarantees the operating integrity, and performance of photovoltaic solar products at certain levels of conversion efficiency for extended periods, up to 25 years. The manufacturer also warrants or guarantees the functionality of inverters and balance of systems up to 10 years.  Therefore, the Company does not recognize warranty expense.

Inventory
 
Inventories consist of photovoltaic solar panels, solar thermal panels and components, other component materials for specific customer orders and spare parts, and are valued at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Management provides a reserve to reduce inventory to its net realizable value. Certain factors could impact the realizable value of inventory, so management continually evaluates the recoverability based on assumptions about customer demand and market conditions. The evaluation may take into consideration expected demand, new product development, the effect new products might have on the sale of existing products, product obsolescence, and other factors. The reserve or write - down is equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves or write-downs may be required. If actual market conditions are more favorable, reserves or write-downs may be reversed.    As of January 31, 2010 inventory was $2,270,198.  Inventory was acquired during the most recent quarters, therefore management believes there is no impairment.

Fixed Assets
 
Equipment and improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of equipment and improvements are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the related lease terms if shorter, by the straight-line method. Useful lives range as follows:
 
Computers and networks
3 years
Machinery and equipment
5-7 years
Furniture and fixtures
5-7 years
Office Equipment
3-10 years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of lease term or useful life of asset

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations.

Long-Lived Assets and Impairment

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets in question may not be recoverable. As of January 31, 2010 we had Long Lived Assets primarily consisting of the domain name.  We believe that this asset is fairly valued as of the date of the report.

Domain Name

The domain name is determined to have an indefinite useful life, is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the domain name might be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived domain name consists of a comparison of their fair value with the carrying amount.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Foreign Currency
 
Gains and losses from foreign exchange transactions will be included in the statements of operations and currently there are none.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Fully diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potential issuances of common stock, including shares to be issued upon exercise of stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for a period and is not presented where the effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash balances at a financial institution in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Accounts at these institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) officially launched the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105 -- Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification”), as the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental, U.S. GAAP, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Codification is designed to simplify U.S. GAAP into a single, topically ordered structure.  All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority.  The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Accordingly, the Company refers to the Codification in respect of the appropriate accounting standards throughout this document as “FASB ASC”.  Implementation of the Codification did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
On June 30, 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2009-01 (Topic 105) – Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – amendments based on – Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 – The FASB Accounting and Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Beginning with this Statement the FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts.  Instead, it will issue Accounting Standard Updates.  This ASU includes FASB Statement No. 168 in its entirety.  While ASU’s will not be considered authoritative in their own right, they will serve to update the Codification, provide the bases for conclusions and changes in the Codification, and provide background information about the guidance.  The Codification modifies the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP:  authoritative and nonauthoritative.  ASU No. 2009-01 is effective for financial statements issued for the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and the Company does not expect any significant financial impact upon adoption.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.  This ASU clarifies the fair market value measurement of liabilities.  In circumstances where a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: a technique that uses quoted price of the identical or a similar liability or liabilities when traded as an asset or assets, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820 such as an income or market approach.  ASU No. 2009-05 was effective upon issuance and it did not result in any significant financial impact on the Company upon adoption.
 
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its equivalent).  This ASU permits use of a practical expedient, with appropriate disclosures, when measuring the fair value of an alternative investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value.  ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009, with early application permitted.  Since the Company does not currently have any such investments, it does not anticipate any impact on its financial statements upon adoption.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”.  SFAS No. 167 addresses the effect on FASB Interpretation 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept of SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”.  SFAS No. 167 also amends the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB Interpretation 46(R) to enhance the timeliness and usefulness of information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This Statement shall be effective as of the Company’s first interim reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited.  The Company does not anticipate any significant financial impact from adoption of SFAS No. 167. As of January 31, 2010, SFAS No. 167 has not been added to the Codification.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”.  SFAS No. 166 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” by eliminating the concept of special-purpose entity, requiring the reporting entity to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to the assets, changes the requirements for the de-recognition of financial assets, and provides for the sellers of the assets to make additional disclosures.  This Statement shall be effective as of the Company’s first interim reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited.  The Company does not anticipate any significant financial impact from adoption of SFAS No. 166. As of January 31, 2010, SFAS No. 166 has not been added to the Codification.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”.  This Statement addresses accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued.  FASB ASC 855 requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, the date issued or date available to be issued.  The Company adopted this Statement in the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, related to providing guidance on when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly.  The update clarifies the methodology to be used to determine fair value when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales.  The update also reaffirms the objective of fair value measurement, as stated in FASB ASC 820, which is to reflect how much an asset would be sold in and orderly transaction, and the need to use judgment to determine if a formerly active market has become inactive, as well as to determine fair values when markets have become inactive.  The Company adopted this Statement in the fourth quarter of 2009 without significant financial impact.
 
In April 2009, the FASB ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity”, amends current other-than-temporary guidance for debt securities through increased consistency in the timing of impairment recognition and enhanced disclosures related to credit and noncredit components impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold.  Also, the Statement increases disclosures for both debt and equity securities regarding expected cash flows, securities with unrealized losses, and credit losses.  The Company adopted this Statement in the fourth quarter of 2009 without significant impact to our financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, to require interim disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments”.  This update enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures of those assets and liabilities falling within the scope of FASB ASC 825. The Company adopted this update in the second quarter of 2009 without significant impact to the financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, that clarifies and amends FASB ASC 805, as it applies to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies.  This update addresses initial recognition and measurement issues, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures regarding these assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination.  The Company adopted this Statement in the fourth quarter of 2009 without significant impact to the financial statements.
 
In January 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 325, “Investments – Other”, which amends the impairments guidance on recognition of interest income and impairment on purchased beneficial interests and beneficial interests that continue to be held by a transferor in securitized financial assets to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The update also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”, and other related guidance.  The adoption of this update in the fourth quarter of 2009 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In November 2008, EITF issued new guidance under FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” on accounting for defensive intangible assets”.  The new guidance applies to all acquired intangible assets in which the acquirer does not intend to actively use the asset but intends to hold (lock up) the asset to prevent its competitors from obtaining or using the asset (a defensive asset).  This guidance was adopted by the Company in January 2009 without impact to the financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 470, “Debt”, with respect to accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion including partial cash settlement.  This update applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.  Additionally, this update specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost recognized in subsequent periods. The update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company does not currently have any debt instruments for which this update would apply.  This update was adopted in August 2009 without significant financial impact.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.  This update is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in FASB ASC 815.  Under this update, entities will have to provide disclosures about (a) how and why and entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB ASC 815 and its related interpretations, and (c), how derivative instruments and related hedged items effect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  This update is effective for all financial statements issued for fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments, nor does it engage in hedging activities, therefore, the Company’s adoption of this update in the second quarter of 2009 was without significant financial impact.

In December 2007, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquire, and the goodwill acquired. This update also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This update is effective for the Company with respect to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Company adopted this update in the second quarter of 2009.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation”, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC 810 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of noncontrolling owners. This update is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The Company adopted this update in February 2009.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued an update to the Fair Value topic.  This update requires new disclosures for 1) transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2 and 2) activity in level 3, by requiring the reconciliation to present separate information about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements.  Also, this update clarifies the disclosures related to the fair value of each class of assets and liabilities and the input and valuation techniques for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements in levels 2 and 3. The effective date for the new disclosures and clarifications is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  This update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

     Inventory
 
Inventories consist of photovoltaic solar panels, solar thermal panels and components, other component materials for specific customer orders and spare parts, and are valued at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Management provides a reserve to reduce inventory to its net realizable value. Certain factors could impact the realizable value of inventory, so management continually evaluates the recoverability based on assumptions about customer demand and market conditions. The evaluation may take into consideration expected demand, new product development; the effect new products might have on the sale of existing products, product obsolescence, and other factors. The reserve or write - down is equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves or write-downs may be required. If actual market conditions are more favorable, reserves or write-downs may be reversed.    As of January 31, 2010 inventory was $2,270,198.  Inventory was acquired during the most recent quarters, therefore there is no impairment.

Acquisition of Domain
 
On August 21, 2008, the Company entered into and closed a Website Purchase Agreement (the “WPA”) with Solar Energy, Inc. (“SEI”) and the shareholders of SEI pursuant to which the Company acquired the Domain Name, www.solarenergy.com, the web site that uses the domain name, the name Solar Energy, Inc. and all trade rights associated with these assets (collectively, the “SEI Assets”).  In consideration for the purchased SEI Assets, the Company made a cash payment of $160,000 at closing, issued the seller a secured note collateralized by a lien on the assets referenced in the Website Purchase Agreement in the principal amount of $840,000 with 7.5% interest that is payable over a period of 21 months with principal payments of $40,000 per month and issued the seller 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $650,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of January 31, 2010, we had cash of $152,966 and working capital deficit of ($592,270), compared with $39,309 in cash and working capital, of ($1,115,468) as of January 31, 2009.  During the quarter ended January 31, 2010, we funded our operations from beginning to generate revenues and private sales of equity securities.  For the same period in 2009, we funded our operations from private sales of equity securities, and beginning to generate revenues.

For the six months ended January 31, 2010 we used $1,621,005 of cash in operations compared to $296,737 for the six months ended January 31, 2009.  Investing activities used $4,030 of cash during the six months ended January 31, 2010 for equipment purchases, and $155,609 during the same 2009 period primarily for the purchase of the domain name.   Financing activities for the six months ended January 31, 2010 provided $772,373 primarily from private placement proceeds compared to $325,000 during the six months ending January 31, 2009. 
 
 
The cost of our photovoltaic and solar thermal products can be potentially influenced by availability of raw materials and supply and demand imbalances. We are uncertain of the extent to which these factors will affect our working capital in the near future. A significant increase in cost of materials that we cannot pass on to our customers could cause us to run out of cash more quickly than our projections indicate, requiring us to raise additional funds or curtail operations.
 
 
 
26

 

As we continue to of developing our business, or we will be required to raise additional financing to supplement cash flows.  Unless we can attain sufficient levels of revenues, we will need to raise additional funds during the next twelve month period.   We have raised $500,000 since the January 31, 2010 period end and may require approximately $500,000 of additional capital funding to allow us to continue the execution of our business plan through July 31, 2010.  If we are not successful in raising the required capital, or begin one or more of the projects in our business pipeline, we will need to reduce the breadth of our business.  Management has put into place cost control actions that will be continually evaluated and adjusted as the business matures to self sustaining operations.


As of now there exists an imbalance between supply of solar panels (which is high) and demand which is low. This has led to a significant reduction in the selling price for solar panels over the past year.  We expect that additional supply of solar panels from various manufacturers will be available and the trend of reduced prices to continue.  While this bodes well for the overall economics of the sale of solar to potential customers, increased competition and the reduction in revenue per project or less gross margin on each panel sold could cause our business plan cash flow projections to be understated necessitating additional capital.

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through private equity financing, and convertible debt.  We expect to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financing as our business expands, and potentially seek a larger funding round to quickly drive the business forward.
 
However, there can be no assurance that our plans discussed above will materialize and/or that we will be successful in funding our estimated cash shortfalls through additional debt or equity capital and/or any cash generated by our operations. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Significant Capital Expenditures
 
During the six months ended January 31, 2010, we acquired approximately $4,030 of business assets, and furniture and equipment for office purposes.   We use these assets in our business operations.  As we continue to grow it will be necessary to purchase additional equipment.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Although not required to include risk factors as the Company is a Smaller Reporting Company, the Company is voluntarily providing risk factors.   This investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of our stock could decrease. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment.

We have a limited operating history, there is no certainty that we will ever generate revenue and achieve profitability.
 
We generated revenue of $1,273,506 for the quarter ended January 31, 2010.    We have incurred significant losses from development and operations. As shown in our financial statements, as of the periods ended January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009, we have incurred a cumulative net loss of $7,029,099, and $5,111,011 respectively from operations.  We will continue to incur operating losses in the future, primarily due to the initiation and expansion of our operations. Negative cash flow from operations may also continue into future. Our ability to achieve profitability depends upon our ability to; continue to sell dealerships and technical training classes, significantly expand the solar component and system sell-through to our dealer network, convert opportunities to sell large municipal and commercial projects, and successfully begin development of one or more solar park(s).
 
We may be unable to manage our growth or implement our expansion strategy.
 
We may not be able to implement our proposed product and service offerings, develop an active dealer network base and markets, or implement the other features of our business strategy at the rate or to the extent presently planned.  Our projected growth will place a significant strain on our administrative, operational and financial resources. If we are unable to successfully manage our future growth, establish and continue to upgrade our operating and financial control systems, recruit and hire necessary personnel or effectively manage unexpected expansion difficulties, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Additional financing will be necessary for the implementation of our growth strategy.
 
We will require additional equity and/or debt financing to pursue our growth strategy. Given our limited operating history existing losses, and a difficult financial market, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing. Lack of additional funding could force us to curtail substantially our growth plans. Furthermore, the issuance by us of any additional securities pursuant to any future fundraising activities undertaken by us would dilute the ownership of existing shareholders and may reduce the price of our common stock.

Debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on our operating flexibility. Our failure to successfully obtain additional future funding may jeopardize our ability to continue our business and operations.

The loss of our current directors and executive officers or our inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
Our success is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of our current directors and officers. Loss of the services of our directors and officers could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, our success and achievement of our growth plans depend on our ability to recruit, hire, train and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for qualified employees among companies in the technology industry is intense, and the loss of any of such persons, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate any additional highly skilled employees required for the expansion of our activities, could have a materially adverse effect on us. The inability on our part to attract and retain the necessary personnel and consultants and advisors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.  Finally, we need to identify and engage independent directors to join the board and serve on the Audit Committee, including one that qualifies as an “accounting expert” to meet the public company listing qualifications of Sarbanes-Oxley, section 301.  The Company is currently searching for additional directors, including an accounting expert, which is required to be listed on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) exchange or other primary stock exchange.
 
If there is a shortage of components and/or key components rise significantly in price that may constrain our revenue growth.  The market for photovoltaic installations has slowed recently, the result of world-wide financial and economic problems.  The introduction of significant production capacity, however, has continued increasing supply and reducing the cost of solar panels.  If demand increases and supply contracts, the resulting likely price increase could adversely affect sales and profitability.  Additionally, we may not have sufficient financial resources to take advantage of supply opportunities as they may arise.
 
During 2009, the capacity to produce solar modules continued, primarily from China, which in the face of the most severe, world-wide, economic downturn in nearly a century significantly reduced the price of solar panels.  As demand for solar panels will likely increase with an economic recovery, demand and pricing for solar modules on a per watt basis could increase, potentially limiting access to solar modules and reducing our selling margins for panels.
  
Our dependence on a limited number of third party suppliers for components could prevent us from delivering our proposed products to our customers within required timeframes, which could result in order cancellations and substantial harm to our business.
 
We purchase our products using materials and components procured from a limited number of third-party suppliers.  If we fail to establish or maintain our relationships with these suppliers, or to secure additional supply sources from other suppliers, we may be unable to provide our products or our products may be available only at a higher cost or after a long delay, which could prevent us from delivering our products to our customers within required timeframes, and we may experience order cancellations and our business may fail. We currently have supply agreements with suppliers to allow us to buy products at market rates and procure sufficient product quantities to assemble and sell our products on acceptable commercial terms. The failure of a supplier to supply materials and components in a timely manner, or to supply materials and components that meet our quality, quantity and cost requirements could impair our ability to purchase our products or increase their costs, particularly if we are unable to obtain substitute sources of these materials and components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us.  In order to obtain required supplies, we may need to make large inventory purchases on short notice, and prior to having purchase orders or deposits from our customers for product using the full amount of silicon required to be purchased. We may not have sufficient financial resources to make these purchases, which may exacerbate supply shortages.
 

 
 
29

 

 
 
Our business depends on the implementation of our current and future agreements with foreign and domestic manufacturers, securing contracts with other suppliers and orders with customers and ensuring products to sell.
 
To date, we have entered into various supply agreements with solar panel suppliers.  We intend to pursue other agreements with component and balance of system suppliers to attempt to manage the cost of materials and supply allocations.  If we are unable to maintain our supply agreements, establish competitive additional supply sources or we are unable to develop adequate sales, we may be forced to cease operations.
 
Our operating results will be subject to fluctuations and are inherently unpredictable; if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price may decline significantly.
 
Our quarterly revenue and operating results will be difficult to predict from quarter to quarter. It is possible that our operating results in some quarters will be below market expectations. Our quarterly operating results will be affected by a number of factors, including:
 
 
 
the average selling price of the solar products that we purchase including  PV and Thermal systems;
 
 
the availability, pricing and timeliness of delivery of third party sources products,  components and systems, particularly solar panels and balance of systems components, including steel, necessary for solar power products to function;
 
 
the rate and cost at which we are able to expand to meet customer demand, including costs and timing of adding personnel;
 
 
the amount and timing of sales of our  systems, especially medium and large-scale projects, which may individually cause severe fluctuations in our revenue;
 
 
our ability to meet project completion schedules and the corresponding revenue impact under such contractual devises as percentage-of-completion method of recognizing revenue for projects which may apply;
 
 
construction cost overruns, including those associated with the introduction of new products;
 
 
incentives play a major role in the buying/decision making process for our potential customers, significant changes in regulation or incentives may adversely affect our business;
 
 
the impact of seasonal variations in demand and/or revenue recognition linked to construction cycles and weather conditions;
 
 
unplanned additional expenses such as manufacturing failures, defects or downtime;
 
 
acquisition and investment related costs;
 
 
unpredictable volume and timing of customer orders, some of which are not fixed by contract but vary on a purchase order basis;
 
 
unpredictable sales cycle time lines inherent with new solutions and products;
 
 
geopolitical turmoil within any of the countries in which we operate or sell products;
   
 
foreign currency fluctuations, particularly in the Euro or the Chinese Yuan;
 
 
the effect of currency hedging activities;
 
 
our ability to establish and expand customer relationships;
 
 
changes in our manufacturing costs;
 
 
changes in the relative sales mix of our solar cells, solar panels and imaging detectors;
 
 
the availability, pricing and timeliness of delivery of other products, such as inverters necessary for our solar power products to function;
 
 
our ability to successfully procure and sell new or enhanced solar power products in a timely manner;
 
 
the timing of new product or technology affiliations or agreements by our competitors and other developments in the competitive environment;
 
 
the willingness of solar panel suppliers to continue product sales to us;
 
 
increases or decreases in electric rates due to changes in fossil fuel prices or other factors; and
 
 
labor shortages, expertise shortages, shipping and other factors causing business delays.
 
 
 
30

 
 
 
We plan to base our operating expenses in part on our expectations of future revenue, and a significant portion of our expenses will be relatively fixed in the short term. If revenue for a particular quarter is lower than we expect, we likely will be unable to proportionately reduce our operating expenses for that quarter, which would harm our operating results for that quarter. This may cause us to miss discussed future expectations, current analysts’ guidance or any future guidance announced by us. If we fail to meet or exceed analyst or investor expectations or our own future guidance, even by a small amount, our stock price could decline, perhaps substantially.
 
Existing regulations and policies and changes to these regulations and policies may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar power products, which may significantly reduce demand for our products.
 
The market for electricity generation products is heavily influenced by foreign, U.S. federal, state and local government regulations and policies concerning the electric utility industry, as well as policies promulgated by electric utilities. These regulations and policies often relate to electricity pricing and technical interconnection of customer-owned electricity generation. In the U.S. and in a number of other countries, these regulations and policies are being modified and may continue to be modified. Customer purchases of, or further investment in the research and development of, alternative energy sources, including solar power technology, could be deterred by these regulations and policies, which could result in a significant reduction in the potential demand for the solar power products of Solar Energy Initiatives, Inc.. For example, without certain major incentive programs and or the regulatory mandated exception for solar power systems, utility customers are often charged interconnection or standby fees for putting distributed power generation on the electric utility network. These fees could increase the cost to our customers of using our solar power products and make them less desirable, thereby harming our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

We anticipate that our solar power products and their installation will be subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with national and local ordinances relating to building codes, safety, environmental protection, utility interconnection and metering and related matters. It is difficult to track the requirements of individual states and design equipment to comply with the varying standards. Any new government regulations or utility policies pertaining to our solar power products may result in significant additional expenses to us and our resellers and their customers and, as a result, could cause a significant reduction in demand for our solar power products.
 
The reduction or elimination of government economic incentives could prevent us from achieving sales and market share.
 
We believe that the near-term growth of the market for on-grid applications, where solar power is used to supplement a customer’s electricity purchased from the utility network or sold to a utility under tariff, depends in large part on the availability and size of government and economic incentives. Because a significant portion of our sales are expected to involve the on-grid market, the reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives may adversely affect the growth of this market or result in increased price competition, both of which could cause our revenue to decline.
 
Today, the cost of solar power exceeds retail electric rates in many locations. As a result, federal, state and local government bodies in many countries, most notably Germany, Japan, Spain, Italy, Portugal, South Korea and the United States, have provided incentives in the form of feed-in tariffs, rebates, tax credits and other incentives to end users, distributors, system integrators and manufacturers of solar power products to promote the use of solar energy in on-grid applications and to reduce dependency on other forms of energy. These government economic incentives could be reduced or eliminated altogether. For example, Germany has been a strong supporter of solar power products and systems and political changes in Germany could result in significant reductions or eliminations of incentives, including the reduction of feed-in tariffs more rapidly than required by current law. Some solar program incentives expire, decline over time, are limited in total funding or require renewal of authority. Net metering and other operational policies in California, Japan or other markets could limit the amount of solar power installed there. Reductions in, or eliminations or expirations of, governmental incentives could result in decreased demand for and lower revenue from our products. Changes in the level or structure of a renewable portfolio standard could also result in decreased demand for and lower revenue from our products.
 
Problems with product quality or product performance of the products we distribute could result in a decrease in customers and revenue, unexpected expenses and loss of market share.
 
The solar products we purchase are complex and must meet stringent quality requirements. Products this complex may contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced. For example, solar panels may contain defects that are not detected until after they are shipped or are installed because we cannot test for all possible scenarios. These defects could cause us to, or may cause us to request that suppliers incur significant re-engineering costs, divert the attention of our personnel from product selling efforts and significantly affect our customer relations and business reputation. If we deliver solar panels with errors or defects, or if there is a perception that such solar panels contain errors or defects, our credibility and the market acceptance and sales of its solar power systems could be harmed.
 
The possibility of future product failures could cause us to incur substantial expense to repair or replace defective products. Furthermore, widespread product failures may damage our market reputation and reduce our market share and cause sales to decline. We may need to indemnify dealers in the network and customers in some circumstances against liability from defects in our solar products. A successful indemnification claim against us could require us to make significant damage payments, which would negatively affect our financial results.
 
 
 
31

 

 
 
Since the solar products we plan to purchase and sell cannot be tested for the duration of their standard multi-year warranty period, we may be subject to unexpected warranty expense; if we are subject to installation, warranty and product liability claims, such claims could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
 
The current standard product warranty for the solar products we intend to sell includes a warranty period (up to ten-years) for defects in material and workmanship and a warranty period (up to twenty five-years) for declines in power performance as well as a typically one-year warranty on the functionality of solar cells (for electricity producing solar products).  Due to the long warranty period and even though we intend to pass through the warranty from the manufacturer, we may bear the risk of extensive warranty claims long after we have shipped product and recognized revenue. Any warranty claims that the manufacturer does not cover would cause us to increase the amount of warranty reserves and have a corresponding negative impact on our results. Although the manufacturers represent that they conduct accelerated testing of their solar cells, our solar panels have not and cannot be tested in an environment simulating the full warranty period. As a result of the foregoing, we may be subject to unexpected warranty expense, which in turn would harm our financial results.
 
Like other retailers, distributors and manufacturers of products that are used by consumers, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that our solar products cause or their use result in injury. Our business may be subject to warranty and product liability claims in the event that its solar power systems fail to perform as expected or if a failure of its solar power systems results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury, property damage or other damages. Since our planned solar energy products are electricity and heat producing devices, it is possible that our products could result in injury, whether by product malfunctions, defects, improper installation or other causes. Moreover, we may not have adequate resources in the event of a successful claim against us. We have evaluated the potential risks we face and believe that we can obtain appropriate levels of insurance for product liability claims. We will rely on our general liability insurance to cover product liability claims and have not obtained separate product liability insurance. However, a successful warranty or product liability claim against us that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of our available insurance limits could require us to make significant payments of damages. In addition, quality issues can have various other ramifications, including delays in the recognition of revenue, loss of revenue, loss of future sales opportunities, increased costs associated with repairing or replacing products, and a negative impact on our goodwill and reputation, which could also adversely affect our business and operating results. Our business’ exposure to warranty and product liability claims is expected to increase significantly in connection with its planned expansion into the new home market.
 
Warranty and product liability claims may result from defects or quality issues in certain third party technology and components that we or our suppliers incorporate into their/our solar power systems, particularly solar cells and panels, over which we have no control. While our agreements with our suppliers would generally include warranties, such provisions may not fully compensate us for any loss associated with third-party claims caused by defects or quality issues in such products. In the event we seek recourse through warranties, we will also be dependent on the creditworthiness and continued existence of the suppliers to our business.
 
We anticipate that our current standard warranty will differ by geography and end-customer application and will include such instruments as one-, two- or five-year comprehensive parts and workmanship warranties, after which the customer may typically extend the period covered by its warranty for an additional fee. Due to the warranty period, our business bears the risk of extensive warranty claims long after it has completed a project and recognized revenues. Future product failures could cause our business to incur substantial expenses to repair or replace defective products. While our business generally passes through manufacturer warranties it receives from its suppliers to its customers, it is responsible for repairing or replacing any defective parts during its warranty period, often including those covered by manufacturers warranties. If the manufacturer disputes or otherwise fails to honor its warranty obligations, our  business may be required to incur substantial costs before it is compensated, if at all, by the manufacturer. Furthermore, the ‘business’ warranties may exceed the period of any warranties from our suppliers covering components included in its systems, such as inverters.
 
The products we intend to distribute may not gain market acceptance, which would prevent us from achieving sales and market share.
 
The development of a successful market for the products we intend to distribute may be adversely affected by a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:
 
our failure to offer products that compete favorably against other solar power products or providers on the basis of cost, quality and performance;
our failure to offer products that compete favorably against conventional energy sources and alternative distributed-generation technologies, such as wind, biomass and solar thermal, on the basis of cost, quality and performance;
our failure to develop and maintain successful relationships with vendors, distributors, systems integrators and other resellers, as well as strategic partners.
 
If the products we intend to distribute fail to gain market acceptance, we will be unable to achieve sales and market share.
 
Technological changes in the solar power industry could render the products we intend to distribute uncompetitive or obsolete, which could prevent us from achieving market share and sales.
 
Our failure to seek new technologies and to be at the forefront of new product offerings could cause us to become uncompetitive promoting less competitive or obsolete systems, which could prevent us from achieving market share and sales. The solar power industry is rapidly evolving and highly competitive. We may need to invest significant financial resources to keep pace with technological advances in the solar power industry and to compete in the future and we may be unable to secure such financing. We believe that a variety of competing solar power technologies may be under development by many companies that could result in lower manufacturing costs or higher product performance than those products selected by us. These development efforts may render obsolete the products we have selected to offer, and other technologies may prove more advantageous for the commercialization of solar power products.
 

 
32

 

 
 
If solar power technology is not suitable for widespread adoption or sufficient demand for solar power products does not develop or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, we would be unable to achieve sales and market share.
 
The market for solar power products is emerging and rapidly evolving, and its future success is uncertain. If solar power technology proves unsuitable for widespread commercial deployment or if demand for solar power products fails to develop sufficiently, we would be unable to achieve sales and market share. In addition, demand for solar power products in the markets and geographic regions we target may not develop or may develop more slowly than we anticipate. Many factors will influence the widespread adoption of solar power technology and demand for solar power products, including:
 
cost-effectiveness of solar power technologies as compared with conventional and competitive alternative energy technologies;
performance and reliability of solar power products as compared with conventional and non-solar alternative energy products;
success of alternative distributed generation technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, wind turbines, bio-diesel generators and large-scale solar thermal technologies;
fluctuations in economic and market conditions that impact the viability of conventional and competitive alternative energy sources;
increases or decreases in the prices of oil, coal and natural gas;
capital expenditures by customers, which tend to decrease when the domestic or foreign economies slow;
continued deregulation of the electric power industry and broader energy industry; and
availability and or effectiveness of government subsidies and incentives.
 
 
We face intense competition from other companies producing solar power, system integrators and other energy generation products. If we fail to compete effectively, we may be unable to increase our market share and sales.
 
The mainstream power generation market and related product sectors are well established and we are competing with power generation from more traditional process that can generate power at lower costs than most renewable or environmentally driven processes.  Further, within the renewable power generation and technologies markets we face competition from other methods of producing renewable or environmentally positive power. Then, the solar power market itself is intensely competitive and rapidly evolving. Our competitors have established market positions more prominent than ours, and if we fail to attract and retain customers and establish a successful distribution network for our solar products, we may be unable to achieve sales and market share. There are a number of major multi-national corporations that produce solar power products, including; Suntech, Sunpower, FirstSolar, BP Solar, Kyocera, Sharp, GE, Mitsubishi, Solar World AG and Sanyo. Also established integrators are growing and consolidating, including groSolar, Sunwize, Sunenergy and Real Goods Solar and we expect that future competition will include new entrants to the solar power market. Further, many of our competitors are developing and are currently producing products based on new solar power technologies that may have costs similar to, or lower than, our projected costs.
 
Most of our competitors are substantially larger than we are, have longer operating histories and have substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing and other resources than we do. Our competitors' greater sizes in some cases provides them with competitive advantages with respect to manufacturing costs due to their ability to allocate fixed costs across a greater volume of production and purchase raw materials at lower prices. They also have far greater name recognition, an established distribution network and an installed base of customers. In addition, many of our competitors have well-established relationships with current and potential resellers, which have extensive knowledge of our target markets. As a result, our competitors will be able to devote greater resources to the research, development, promotion and sale of their products and may be able to respond more quickly to evolving industry standards and changing customer requirements than we can.

We may not address successfully the problems encountered in connection with any potential future acquisitions.
 
We expect to consider future opportunities to acquire or make investments in other technologies, products and businesses that could enhance our capabilities, complement our products, or expand the breadth of our markets or customer base. We have limited experience in acquiring other businesses and technologies. Potential and completed acquisitions and strategic investments involve numerous risks, including:
 
problems assimilating the purchased technologies, products or business operations;
problems maintaining uniform standards, procedures, controls and policies;
problems arising from non-performance of acquired entities or assets;
  
problems arising from overvaluation or with securing the required financing to close and/or make the acquisition operational;

unanticipated costs associated with an acquisition;
diversion of management's attention from our core business;
adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;
risks associated with entering new markets in which we have no or limited prior experience;
potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses; and
increased legal and accounting costs as a result of the newly adopted rules and regulations related to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other such regulation such as increased internal control and reporting requirements.
 
We are subject to corporate governance and internal control reporting requirements, and our costs related to compliance with, or our failure to comply with existing and future requirements, could adversely affect our business.
 
. We are in the process of evaluating our control structure to help ensure that we will be able to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The financial cost of compliance with these laws, rules and regulations is expected to be substantial. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fully comply with these laws, rules and regulations that address corporate governance, internal control reporting and similar matters. Failure to comply with these laws, rules and regulations could materially adversely affect our reputation, financial condition and the value of our securities.
 
Because the markets in which we compete are highly competitive and many of our competitors have greater resources than us, we may not be able to compete successfully and we may lose or be unable to gain market share.
 
Our solar business competes with a large number of competitors in the solar power market, including integrators such as groSolar, Sunwize, Sunenergy and Real Goods Solar, and manufacturers that may also directly supply projects at costs we cannot compete with, including Suntech, BP Solar, FirstSolar, SolarWorld AG and others. In addition, alternative technologies such as thin film and concentrators, which may compete with our technology in certain applications, continue to make market penetration. We expect to face increased competition in the future. Further, many of our competitors are developing and are currently producing products based on new solar power technologies that may ultimately have costs similar to, or lower than, our projected costs.
 

 
 
34

 

 
 
Our solar power products and services compete against other power generation sources including conventional fossil fuels supplied by utilities, other alternative energy sources such as wind, biomass, concentrated solar power “CSP” and emerging distributed generation technologies such as micro-turbines, sterling engines and fuel cells. In the large-scale on-grid solar power systems market, we will face direct competition from a number of companies that manufacture, distribute, or install solar power systems.  Our primary competitors in the United States include Arizona Public Service Company, BP Solar International, Inc., a subsidiary of BP p.l.c., Conergy Inc., Dome-Tech Group, Eastwood Energy, EI Solutions, Inc., Florida Power and Light, GE Energy, a subsidiary of General Electric Corporation, Global Solar Energy, Inc., a subsidiary of Solon, groSolar, Power-Fab, Real Goods Solar, Schott Solar, Inc., Solar Integrated Technologies, Inc., SPG Solar, Inc., Sun Edison LLC, Suntech, SunTechnics Installation & Services, Inc., Sunwize, Sunenergy, Thompson Technology Industries, Inc. and WorldWater & Power Corporation. Our primary competitors in Europe include BP Solar, Conergy (through its subsidiaries AET Alternative Energies Technique GmbH, SunTechnics Solartechnik GmbH and voltwerk AG), PV-Systemtechnik Gbr, SAG Solarstrom AG, Solon AG and Taufer Solar GmbH. Additionally, our business will occasionally compete with distributed generation equipment suppliers such as Caterpillar, Inc. and Cummins Inc. Other existing and potential competitors in the solar power market include universities and research institutions. We also expect that future competition will include new entrants to the solar power market offering new technological solutions. As we enter new markets and pursue additional applications for our products and services, we expect to face increased competition, which may result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share.
 
Competition is intense, and many of our competitors have significantly greater access to financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, management and other resources than we do. Many also have greater name recognition, a more established distribution network and a larger installed base of customers. In addition, many of our competitors have well-established relationships with our potential suppliers, resellers and their customers and have extensive knowledge of our target markets. As a result, these competitors may be able to devote greater resources to the research, development, promotion and sale of their products and respond more quickly to evolving industry standards and changing customer requirements than we will be able to. Consolidation or strategic alliances among such competitors may strengthen these advantages and may provide them greater access to customers or new technologies. To the extent that government funding for research and development grants, customer tax rebates and other programs that promote the use of solar and other renewable forms of energy are limited, we will compete for such funds, both directly and indirectly, with other renewable energy providers and their customers.
 
If we cannot compete successfully in the solar power industry, our operating results and financial condition will be adversely affected. Furthermore, we expect competition in the targeted markets to increase, which could result in lower prices or reduced demand for our product and service offerings and may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
 
The demand for products requiring significant initial capital expenditures such as our solar power products and services are affected by general economic conditions.
 
The United States and countries worldwide have recently experienced a period of declining economies and unprecedented turmoil in financial markets. A sustained economic recovery is uncertain. In particular, terrorist acts and similar events, continued unrest in the Middle East or war in general could contribute to a slowdown of the market demand for products that require significant initial capital expenditures, including demand for solar power systems and new residential and commercial buildings. In addition, increases in interest rates may increase financing costs to customers, which in turn may decrease demand for our solar power products. If an economic recovery is slowed as a result of the recent economic, political and social events, or if there are further terrorist attacks in the United States or elsewhere, we may experience decreases in the demand for our solar power products, which may harm our operating results.
 
We will rely primarily upon copyright and trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights, and, if these rights are not sufficiently protected, our ability to compete and generate revenue could suffer.
 
We will seek to protect our proprietary supplier and operational processes, documentation and other written materials primarily under trade secret and copyright laws. We also typically require employees and consultants with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements. The steps taken by us to protect our proprietary information may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology. In addition, our proprietary rights may not be adequately protected because:
 
 
 
people may not be deterred from misappropriating our operational assets despite the existence of laws or contracts prohibiting it;
 
 
policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property may be difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and we may be unable to determine the extent of any unauthorized use; and
 
 
the laws of other countries in which we access and or market our solar cells, such as some countries in the Asia/Pacific region, may offer little or no protection for our proprietary technologies.
 
Unauthorized copying or other misappropriation of our proprietary assets could enable third parties to benefit from our property without paying us for doing so. Any inability to adequately protect our proprietary rights could harm our ability to compete, to generate revenue and to grow our business.
 
We rely on suppliers to comply with intellectual property, copy write, hazardous materials and processes and trade secrecy laws and regulations and, if such laws and regulations are not sufficiently followed, our business could suffer substantially.
 
We endeavor to comply with all law and regulation regarding intellectual property law manufacturing process law and regulation, however, in many cases it is our supplier that must comply with such regulations and laws.  While we make efforts to ensure that products sourced from third parties comply with required regulation and law and that the operation of our suppliers do as well, our business could suffer if a supplier was, or suppliers were, found to be non compliant with regulation and law in our, our customers’ or our suppliers’ jurisdictions.
 

 
35

 

 
 
Compliance with environmental regulations can be expensive, and noncompliance with these regulations may result in adverse publicity and potentially significant monetary damages and fines for us.
 
We are required to comply with all foreign, U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding pollution control and protection of the environment. In addition, under some statutes and regulations, a government agency, or other parties, may seek recovery and response costs from operators of property where releases of hazardous substances have occurred or are ongoing, even if the operator was not responsible for such release or otherwise at fault. In the course of future business we may use, generate and discharge toxic, volatile and otherwise hazardous chemicals and wastes in our operations or related research and development and manufacturing activities. Any failure by us to control the use of or to restrict adequately the discharge of, hazardous substances could subject us to potentially significant monetary damages and fines or suspensions in our business operations. In addition, if more stringent laws and regulations are adopted in the future, the costs of compliance with these new laws and regulations could be substantial. If we fail to comply with present or future environmental laws and regulations we may be required to pay substantial fines, suspend production or cease operations.
 
There are restrictions on the transferability of the securities.
 
Until registered for resale, investors must bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), which provides for an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act under certain conditions, requires, among other conditions, a six month holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act and that the Company is current in its filings.  There is no guarantee that we will continue to maintain our public filings.

If we violated certain securities laws, we may not now be able to privately offer our equity securities for sale.
 
Any offering of our equity securities in or from the United States must be registered with the SEC or be exempt from registration. If our prior offers and sales were not exempt from registration, it is likely that they would be deemed integrated with future offerings unless we do not offer equity securities for at least six months. In the event of such integration, we would only be permitted to offer and sell equity securities after we file one or more new registration statements with the SEC and the registration statements have become effective. The registration process is both expensive and can be expected to take at least several months and would substantially hinder our efforts to obtain funds.

If the Company uses its stock in acquisitions of other entities there may be substantial dilution at the time of a transaction.
 
If the price of our common stock used for an acquisition is less than the amount paid by our shareholders, substantial dilution may be experienced.  Additional dilution may be experienced by the sale of additional shares of common stock or other securities, or if the Company’s shares are issued to purchase other entities assets.

Our common stock is subject to the “Penny Stock” rules of the SEC.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
 
 
 
36

 

 

●  
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and   the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
 
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

●  
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and   make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
  
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

●  
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
●  
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
 
Companies trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, , and must be current in their reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.   In addition, we may be unable to get re-listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may have an adverse material effect on our Company.

Our common stock may be adversely affected by limited trading volume and the market price may fluctuate significantly, which may negatively affect our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares.
 
While the trading time and average stock volumes have increased over time, there can be no assurance that an active trading market will be sustained. An absence of an active trading market can be expected to adversely affect our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to enter the market from time to time in the belief that our share price will decline. We cannot predict whether the market for our shares will be stable or appreciate over time.

Because each of our executive officers may voluntarily terminate his employment with us at any time on at least 30 days prior written notice to us, we cannot be sure if any of them will maintain their position with us for the foreseeable future.
 
In the event any of our executive officers terminate their employment with us, we may not be able to find suitable replacements on similar terms, if at all.

Although we plan on maintaining commercial insurance to reduce some operating hazard risks, such insurance may not be available to us at economically feasible rates, if at all.
 
In the absence of suitable insurance, we may be exposed to claims and litigation which we will not be financially able to defend or we may be subject to judgments which may be for amounts greater than our ability to pay.
 
Anti-takeover provisions could make a third-party acquisition of us difficult which may adversely affect the market price and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.
 
Certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may delay, discourage or prevent a change in control. The provisions may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price. Furthermore, the authorized but unissued shares of our common stock are available for future issuance by us without our stockholders' approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes including but not limited to future public or direct offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee incentive plans. The issuance of such shares may also be used to deter a potential takeover of us that may otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders. A takeover may be beneficial to stockholders because, among other reasons, a potential suitor may offer stockholders a premium for their shares above the then market price.

The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares may enable the Board of Directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management which would render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, and merger or otherwise and thereby protect the continuity of our management.
