Background
 
Atlantic Green Power Holding Company (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 31, 2006 under the name “Lodestar Mining, Incorporated.”  From its inception until February 3, 2010, the Company was an exploration stage company with plans to search for mineral deposits or reserves.
 
On January 29, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Exchange with Atlantic Green Power Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (“Atlantic”), pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Atlantic was exchanged for one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $.000001 per share.  The transaction described in the preceding sentence is hereafter referred to as the “Share Exchange.” As of February 3, 2010, the Effective Date of the Share Exchange, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Atlantic and thereafter changed its corporate name to “Atlantic Green Power Holding Company.”  As a result of the Share Exchange, Atlantic became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company ceased its prior operations, the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources, to focus on Atlantic’s renewable energy business of locating and developing utility-scale solar energy generation projects in the Mid-Atlantic United States.
 
Overview
 
Atlantic’s business strategy is to develop utility-scale solar energy generation projects in the Mid-Atlantic United States.  Atlantic is currently in the process of obtaining the local zoning board approvals and other permits necessary to develop a utility-scale solar farm on a 700-acre tract in Pittsgrove, New Jersey.  Atlantic’s primary business activities to date have focused on locating and acquiring rights to one or more suitable parcels of land for the solar farm and securing sufficient financing to enable Atlantic to lease the necessary land for the solar farm and commence the regulatory and land use approval process necessary for the operation of the solar farm on the leased property.  To date, Atlantic has not generated any revenue and has not commenced any revenue-generating activities.  In the future, Atlantic may explore the possibility of generating electricity from wind energy on either the Pittsgrove property or other properties, although Atlantic does not currently have any plans to develop wind energy or acquire any other properties.
 
Background of Renewable Energy Industry
 
Renewable energy is produced using resources that are naturally replenished, such as sunlight, wind, geothermal heat and tides.  Technologies that produce energy from renewable sources are commonly referred to as “green” or “clean” as they produce few pollutants, if any, that negatively impact the environment.  Comparatively, fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil are exhaustible and release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere during energy production.  In addition, reliance on fossil fuels as a source of energy increases exposure to supply shortages and price volatility as many oil-producing countries are situated in unstable regions of the world.  As a result, the development and implementation of renewable energy technologies has grown rapidly in the United States and abroad in the last several years.  Certain European countries in particular have made significant progress toward relying on energy produced from renewable sources for a significant portion of their energy needs.

The Company, through the operation of Atlantic, intends to generate and sell electricity produced from solar energy and may, at a future date, generate and sell electricity produced from wind energy.
 
Solar Energy. The conversion of solar energy from sunlight into electricity is referred to as the photovoltaic effect. Solar photovoltaic cells packaged together in weather-resistant solar panels absorb the energy from sunlight and convert the energy into direct current electricity, which is channeled through electrical contact points attached to the panels. An inverter connected to the solar panels converts the direct current electricity channeled from the solar panels into alternating current electricity, which then transfers to the local utility grid. Although the cost of solar panels has declined with recent advances in technology, the installation of solar panels nevertheless represents a significant cost associated with the generation and sale of solar energy. However, after installation, solar arrays (groups of interconnected solar panels) are typically inexpensive to maintain relative to other energy-producing technologies.
 
Wind Energy. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through the use of generators housed in the turbines. Electricity generated from the turbines is transferred through cables from each turbine to a collection point, where it is then transferred to a substation for voltage set-up and delivery into the electric utility transmission network. The success of a wind farm, or a group of wind turbines, depends on the profile of wind resources at the site of the farm.
 
Electricity generated from solar panels and wind turbines can then be sold and transferred to local utility companies and other retail energy suppliers. See “Access to Transmission Lines” below.
 
Pittsgrove Solar Farm
 
Effective November 30, 2009, Atlantic entered into a Ground Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with Edward Stella, Jr., an executive officer and director of the Company, for certain undeveloped parcels of property in Pittsgrove, New Jersey aggregating approximately 700 acres (the “Property”), on which the Company intends to construct a solar farm.  The Lease was negotiated between the parties at arm’s length and the amount of rent payable under the Lease is believed to be equal to fair market value.
 
The Lease is for a term of twenty-five years, and provided Atlantic is not in default under the Lease, Atlantic has the option to extend the Lease for four additional periods of five years each.  The Lease authorizes Atlantic to develop and operate a renewable energy system on the Property.  Base rent under the Lease is $1,300,000 per year payable in equal monthly installments, which shall be phased-in as construction on the Property is completed and electricity is generated from the facilities located thereon.  Until Atlantic is required to pay the full monthly amount of the base rent, Atlantic is required to compensate Mr. Stella for the loss of farming contract revenue due to the Lease on an annual basis, which shall not exceed $90,000 in any year.  In addition, Mr. Stella is permitted to use those portions of the Property on which construction has not yet commenced for farming purposes, and is permitted a right of access through the Property in order to access other parcels not leased to Atlantic.
 
In the event that Atlantic is not able to obtain all regulatory approvals necessary to begin construction of the solar farm on the Property before the expiration of the eighteen month period following execution of the Lease (the “Approval Period”), Atlantic shall have the option to terminate the Lease.  Atlantic shall have the right to extend the Approval Period (i) for two additional consecutive periods of six months in exchange for a payment of $50,000 for each such six month extension, and (ii) after the expiration of both six month extension periods, for successive periods of three months in exchange for a payment of $25,000 for each such three month period.  Upon Atlantic’s receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals for the construction and operation of the solar farm, Atlantic shall pay to Mr. Stella the sum of $7,500,000, which shall not off-set amounts otherwise owed in rent.
 
 
-2-

 
 
Atlantic is granted an option to purchase the Property at any time before the eighth anniversary of the Lease for a purchase price of $29,000,000, subject to certain credits for amounts previously paid under the Lease.  Atlantic is also granted a right of first refusal with respect to the Property if Mr. Stella receives a bona fide offer to purchase the Property.
 
Access to Transmission Lines
 
In order to sell electricity generated at the Pittsgrove solar farm, we will need to obtain access to the electric grid to transmit electricity to be sold to our customers.  The electric grid that serves New Jersey and several surrounding states is managed by the federally-regulated regional transmission organization PJM Interconnection, LLC (“PJM”).  PJM is an independent organization of over five hundred power generators, transmission owners, electricity distributors, power marketers and large energy consumers that is responsible for independently managing the regional transmission system and wholesale electricity market.  Electricity that is generated by a generating facility, such as the Pittsgrove solar farm, is transmitted to the PJM interconnection grid and is available for purchase by wholesale and retail entities that are licensed to transact on the PJM grid.  Atlantic’s application to PJM for access to the interconnection grid has been accepted, and the parties are in the process of conducting the necessary studies to determine the optimal interconnection points to the grid.
 
Government Regulation
 
The Company will potentially be subject to government regulation at the federal, state and local levels.
 
   Under the Federal Power Act (the “FPA”), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “FERC”) has exclusive rate-making jurisdiction over wholesale sales of electricity and transmission in interstate commerce.  The FPA subjects “public utilities” within the meaning of the act to, among other things, rate and corporate regulation by the FERC.  In particular, sellers of electricity at wholesale in interstate commerce and transmitters of electricity in interstate commerce are regulated by the FERC with respect to: the review of the terms and conditions of wholesale electricity sales and transmission of electricity; the need to obtain advance approval of certain dispositions of public utility facilities, mergers, purchases of securities of other public utilities, acquisitions of existing generation facilities and changes in upstream ownership interests; the regulation of their borrowing and securities issuances and assumption of liabilities; and the review of interlocking directorates.
 
To date, the Company, through the operation of Atlantic, has not made any sales of electricity, nor has it generated any electricity, and therefore the Company is not currently subject to the provisions of the FPA.  In the event that the Company, through the operation of Atlantic, makes any wholesale sales or transmissions of electricity in interstate commerce, it will potentially be subject to the provisions of the FPA and the regulation of the FERC.
 
The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 (the “PUHCA”) provides, in relevant part, that any entity that owns, controls or holds power to vote 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities of a “public utility company” or a company that is a “holding company” of a public utility company or public utility holding company, is subject to certain regulations granting the FERC access to books and records and oversight over certain affiliate transactions. A “public utility company” is an “electric utility company” that owns or operates facilities used for the generation, transmission, or distribution of electric energy for sale.  Certain exemptions are available for entities that are holding companies solely by virtue of their ownership of “qualifying facilities” under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (the “PURPA”) and for exempt wholesale generators.  It is expected that Atlantic will meet the definition of “public utility company,” and, as a result, the Company will be subject to the provisions of the PUHCA.
 
 
-3-

 
The Company will be subject to regulation by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, which has historically had broad authority to regulate both the rates charged by and the financial activities of electric utilities that sell electricity at retail, and a number of other matters related to electric utilities.  New Jersey state law may also impose certain regulatory and reporting requirements on owners and operators of generation facilities.
 
In addition, the Company will be required to obtain approvals from the local zoning board and other permits before construction on the Pittsgrove solar farm can begin.
 
Government Incentives
 
Both federal and state governments have enacted measures to encourage the development and deployment of renewable energy technologies.  Such measures include renewable portfolio standards, renewable energy certificates, production tax credits, investment tax credits and accelerated tax depreciation.
 
Renewable portfolio standards (“RPS”) are programs that require electric utilities and other retail energy suppliers to produce or purchase a certain percentage of their annual electricity consumption from renewable energy sources.  New Jersey is among the states that have adopted RPS programs.  The New Jersey RPS program provides that 22.5% of electricity supplied by electric power suppliers to retail customers must consist of electricity generated from renewable sources by 2021, and that 2.12% (or approximately 1,500 MW) must consist of electricity generated from solar energy.
 
A renewable energy certificate (“REC”) is an intangible, tradable instrument that represents the attributes associated with one Mega Watt hour of energy produced from a renewable energy source.  State governments, including New Jersey, use RECs to monitor compliance with RPS programs.  Many RPS programs impose an “alternative compliance payment” upon energy suppliers that fail to meet renewable energy requirements under the program.  Energy suppliers can purchase RECs as evidence of having purchased renewable energy to avoid alternative compliance payments.  RECs effectively serve as a production subsidy for energy produced from renewable sources.
 
The federal production tax credit provides a tax credit of 2.1 cents per kilowatt-hour of energy generated from wind for a ten year period beginning on the date that a wind turbine is placed into operation.  The production tax credit was extended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009 and is now scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012.
 
In lieu of the production tax credit, wind turbine operators can elect to receive an investment tax credit of 30% for facilities placed in operation in 2009 and 2010, and for facilities placed in operation before 2013 if construction begins before the end of 2010.  The investment tax credit is eligible for conversion to a grant from the United States Department of the Treasury.
 
Finally, wind farm assets are deemed to have a five-year depreciable life, a significantly shorter period than the fifteen to twenty-five-year depreciable life of many non-renewable energy assets.  The shortened useful life for wind farm assets can result in a significantly accelerated realization of tax depreciation for wind farm operators compared to operators of other energy-producing facilities.
 
Competition
 
Large utility companies, which rely primarily on traditional, non-renewable energy sources such as coal, hydro natural gas an nuclear power, dominate the energy production industry in the United States.  Electricity produced from renewable sources, including solar and wind energies, faces competition from these other traditional, non-renewable sources as the producers of electricity from renewable sources seek for their sources to be accepted as a viable, cost-effective alternative to traditional, non-renewable energy sources.  It is expected that the primary competition for the renewable energy industry will continue to come from coal and other non-renewable energy sources.
 
 
-4-

 
In addition to competition from non-renewable energy sources, the Company will face competition from other renewable energy suppliers, including from those suppliers with operations located in New Jersey and in surrounding states.  It is expected that competition within the renewable energy industry will intensify in the next several years as more companies enter the market and commence operations.
 
Suppliers
 
The Company will rely on third party suppliers to supply solar panels and other equipment required to construct the infrastructure of the Pittsgrove solar farm.  Solar energy used to generate electricity is naturally-occurring, but availability will be subject to meteorological and atmospheric conditions.
 
Distribution of Products
 
It is anticipated that the Company will sell electricity generated from the Pittsgrove solar farm to a public utility located in the State of New Jersey.  The Company also plans to sell RECs to energy suppliers.  However, a definitive plan of distribution has not been determined as of the date of this report.
 
Employees
 
As of March 26, 2010, the Company had six employees, including its three executive officers, Robert Demos, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, R. Scott Byrne, Chief Operating Officer, Secretary, and Treasurer, and Edward Stella, Jr., Vice President of Project Development.  All of the Company’s employees are based at its corporate headquarters in West Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Item 5.         Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 
The Company’s common stock is listed for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol AGPH.  Prior to the assignment of the current symbol on March 3, 2010, the Company’s common stock was listed for quotation under the symbol LDST.  For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, no active public trading market for shares of the common stock existed.
 
The NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board is generally considered to be a less active and efficient market than the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market or any national exchange and will not provide investors with the liquidity that the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market or a national exchange would offer.
 
As of March 26, 2010, there were 43,199,750 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and approximately 40 holders of the common stock.
 
The Company did not pay any dividends on shares of the common stock in the last two fiscal years, and the Company does not anticipate that it will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
Upon the consummation of the Share Exchange on February 3, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 38,099,250 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Atlantic common stock in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis is intended t provide information about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  The following information should be read together with the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
 
Overview
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 31, 2006 under the name “Lodestar Mining, Incorporated.”  From its inception until January 28, 2010, the Company was an exploration stage company with plans to search for mineral deposits or reserves.
 
On February 3, 2010, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Atlantic pursuant to the Share Exchange, and Atlantic became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company issued an aggregate of 38,099,250 shares of common stock to the former shareholders of Atlantic, and the Company changed its corporate name to “Atlantic Green Power Holding Company.” As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company ceased its prior operations and commenced the operation of Atlantic as its sole line of business. Atlantic is a renewable energy company primarily focused on the location and development of utility-scale solar energy generation projects in the Mid-Atlantic United States, including the development of a utility-scale solar farm in Pittsgrove, New Jersey.
 
Please see the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 4, 2010 for information about Atlantic’s financial condition and results of operations for the period commencing September 17, 2009 (date of inception) through November 30, 2009.
 
Development Stage Company

From inception until the Effective Date of the Share Exchange, the Company was an exploration stage company.  Since the Effective Date of the Share Exchange, the Company is considered a development stage company in accordance with the guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 915, “Development Stage Entities.”  The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced.  All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
 
Currency Translation
 
For subsidiaries outside the United States that prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company translates income and expense amounts at average exchange rates for the year, translates assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates and equity at historical rates.  For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar, even though the Company reported its currency in the U.S. dollar. The Company recorded these translation adjustments as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense) in the results of operations.
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using U.S. dollars.  However, the transactions that took place during the year required the use of Canadian currency.  The Canadian dollars listed on the December 31, 2009 Balance Sheet were converted at the conversion rate on December 31, 2009, which was .9523 U.S. dollar for 1 Canadian dollar.  The Canadian dollars listed on the Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were converted at an average rate for the period which was .88 and .98 U.S. dollar, respectively, for 1 Canadian dollar.  The net effect of the conversion resulted in a foreign currency translation loss of  $10,932, which is recorded as other comprehensive income in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Results of Operations
 
For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
 
Net Income (Loss).  For the year ended December 31, 2009, our net income from operations was $141,632 as compared to a net loss from operations of $220,280 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  This $361,912, or 262%, increase in net income was primarily attributable to the gain on the release of a mining expense payable of $154,186 in 2009 and no mineral property costs in 2009 as compared to mineral property costs of $206,866 in 2008.
 
Revenues.  We did not have any revenues for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
Expenses.  Total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $12,554 and $220,280, respectively.  Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 consisted of $10,077 in professional fees and $2,477 in general and administrative expenses, as compared to operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 consisting of $206,866 in mineral property costs, $9,000 in professional fees and $4,414 in general and administrative expenses.  The $207,226, or 94%, reduction in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the absence of mineral property costs in 2009.
 
Interest Income.  We did not have any interest income for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
Income Taxes.  No income tax provision has been made for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
Foreign Currency Transaction.  For the year ended December 31, 2009, there was a foreign exchange rate loss of $10,932, as compared to a foreign rate gain of $18,857 in the prior year.  The loss recorded for 2009 is as a result of currency translation between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
On February 3, 2010, the Company consummated the Share Exchange with Atlantic.  As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company changed its business focus from the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources to the location and development of utility-scale solar energy generation projects in the Mid-Atlantic United States, including the development of a utility-scale solar farm in Pittsgrove, New Jersey.
 
As of March 18, 2010, the Company’s cash position was approximately $730,388.  The Company anticipates that its cash position is sufficient to fund current operations and obtain the local zoning board approvals and other permits necessary to develop the Pittsgrove solar farm.  However, without any additional financing, the Company will not be able to commence construction of the solar farm.  Depending upon the results of the Company’s approval and permitting process with the local zoning board and other regulatory bodies, the Company anticipates it will seek additional capital through debt or equity financings.  If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it will explore strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, partnering with another energy supplier or other company for purposes of developing the Pittsgrove solar farm.  Any additional equity financing may result in  substantial dilution to the Company’s stockholders.

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Since inception, the Company has not generated any revenue and accumulated losses aggregating to $97,012.  In addition, the Company may not have sufficient working capital to meet operating needs for the next twelve months as described above.  All of these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The officers and directors of the Company have not, as of the date of this filing, loaned any funds to the Company.  There are no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans.
 
Item 7A.      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 9A.      Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, who concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that:  (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure by the Company; and (ii) information required to be disclosed in reports that filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There has been no significant change in the Company’s internal controls during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The Company’s internal control system is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (COSO). Based on the assessment, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required are addressed in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, the Company lacked sufficient accounting staff and the performance of the principal accounting functions were conducted by one officer. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer also served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Also, for the year ended December 31, 2009, all of the Company’s financial reporting was carried out by one individual, and the Company did not have an audit committee. This lack of accounting staff results in a lack of segregation of duties and accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

To the Directors of
Atlantic Green Power Holding Company
(formerly Lodestar Mining, Incorporated)
(An Exploration Stage Company)


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Atlantic Green Power Holding Company (an exploration stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from October 31, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2009.   These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Atlantic Green Power Holding Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
 

 
NOTE 1-
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Lodestar Mining, Incorporated (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 31, 2006.  On January 29, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Exchange (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Atlantic Green Power Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (“Atlantic”), pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of Atlantic’s common stock was exchanged for one share of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Exchange”).  The Share Exchange was consummated on February 3, 2010.  On February 4, 2010, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware  pursuant to which, among other things, the Company changed its corporate name to Atlantic Green Power Holding Company.
 
As a result of the Share Exchange, Atlantic became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company ceased its prior operations, the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources, to focus on Atlantic’s renewable energy business of locating and developing utility-scale solar energy generation projects in the Mid-Atlantic United States.  Through Atlantic, the Company is currently in the process of obtaining the local zoning board approvals and other permits necessary to develop a utility-scale solar farm on a 700-acre tract in Pittsgrove, New Jersey.
 
In January 2010, the Company consummated a 5.05 to 1 forward stock split (the “Stock Split”) pursuant to which each stockholder of the Company received an additional 4.05 shares of common stock in the form of a stock dividend for each share of common stock held by such stockholder.  Immediately following the Stock Split, there were 20,250,500 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding.  All prior period amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Stock Split.
 
Development Stage Company
 
From inception until the Effective Date of the Share Exchange, the Company was an exploration stage company.  Since the Effective Date of the Share Exchange, the Company is considered a development stage company in accordance with the guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 915, “Development Stage Entities.”  The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing its business and its planned principal operations have not commenced.  All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
 
Going Concern
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Since inception, the Company has not generated any revenues and has accumulated losses aggregating to $97,012.  In addition, the Company may not have sufficient working capital to meet all of its operating needs for the next twelve months as described below.  All of these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
F-7

 

 
On February 3, 2010, the Company consummated the Share Exchange with Atlantic.  As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company changed its business focus from the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources to the location and development of utility-scale solar energy generation projects in the Mid-Atlantic United States, including the development of a utility-scale solar farm in Pittsgrove, New Jersey.  As of March 18, 2010, the Company’s cash position was approximately $730,388.  The Company anticipates that its cash position is sufficient to fund current operations and obtain the local zoning board approvals and other permits necessary to develop the Pittsgrove solar farm.  However, without any additional financing, the Company will not be able to commence construction of the solar farm.  Depending upon the results of the Company’s approval and permitting process with the local zoning board and other regulatory bodies, the Company anticipates it will seek additional capital through debt or equity financings.  If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it will explore strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, partnering with another energy supplier or other company for purposes of developing the Pittsgrove solar farm.  Any additional equity financing may result in  substantial dilution to the Company’s stockholders.

NOTE 2-
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Currency Translation
 
For subsidiaries outside the United States that prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company translates income and expense amounts at average exchange rates for the year, translates assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates and equity at historical rates.  For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar, even though the Company reported its currency in the U.S. dollar. The Company recorded these translation adjustments as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense) in the results of operations.
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using U.S. dollars.  However, the transactions that took place during the year required the use of Canadian currency.  The Canadian dollars listed on the December 31, 2009 Balance Sheet were converted at the conversion rate on December 31, 2009, which was .9523 U.S. dollar for 1 Canadian dollar.  The Canadian dollars listed on the Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were converted at an average rate for the period which was .88 and .98 U.S. dollar, respectively, for 1 Canadian dollar.  The net effect of the conversion resulted in a foreign currency translation loss of  $10,932, which is recorded as other comprehensive income in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
F-8

 

 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
 
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.

Fixed Assets
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (five years for the computer equipment). Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fixed assets to be disposed of by sale are carried at the lower of the then current carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell.
 
Mineral Property Costs
 
Since the Company’s formation on October 31, 2006 until February 3, 2010, the Company had been in the exploration stage.  The Company did not enter into its first mineral claim option agreement until March 13, 2007.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company had not realized any revenues from its planned operations.  Mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred until such time as economic reserves are quantified.  To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties.  The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidelines which establish standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment, or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets. The adoption of this standard has had no material impact on the Company’s financial position statements.  As of December 31, 2009, any potential costs relating to the retirement of the Company’s mineral property interests were not yet determinable.
 
On February 3, 2010, upon the consummation of the Share Exchange, the Company ceased its prior operations, the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources, to focus on Atlantic’s renewable energy business of locating and developing utility-scale solar energy generation projects in the Mid-Atlantic United States.
 
 
F-9


 
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and related party advances approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method of accounting.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”).  ASC 260 requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.  Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding for the period.  The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC 260, any anti-dilutive effects on net earnings (loss) per share are excluded.  For the periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no common stock equivalents.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, FASB issued ASC Topic No. 105. “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”).  ASC 105 has become the single source authoritative nongovernmental GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Emerging Issues Task Force standards and related accounting literature.  ASC No. 105 reorganized the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure.  Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections.  The Company adopted ASC 105 on July 1, 2009.  The adoption of ASC 105 did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic No. 825-10-65, “Financial Instruments – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information” (“ASC 825-10-65”). ASC 825-10-65 amends ASC 825-10 to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements and also amends ASC 270-10 to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. The adoption of ASC 825-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
F-10

 
 
On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic No. 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”).  ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date – that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASU Topic No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)” (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall,” for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 further clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU Topic No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (amendments to ASC 605, Revenue Recognition)” (“ASU 2009-13”).  ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method.  ASU 2009-13 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2009-13 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
NOTE 3-
MINERAL PROPERTIES
 
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had no ownership in any properties.
 
On March 13, 2007, the Company entered into a Mineral Claim Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Claim Lake Nickel Inc., a corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Claim Lake Nickel”).  Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company has the sole, exclusive, immediate and irrevocable option to acquire a ten percent (10%) legal and beneficial interest in certain mineral dispositions owned by Claim Lake Nickel in Zavitz Township in Ontario, Canada.
 
 
F-11

 
The Company paid $5,000 (CAD) under the Option Agreement for its option rights, which was made in U.S. dollars on March 13, 2007 at a conversion rate of 1 USD = 1.1584 CAD.  The Company had the right to exercise the option by making exploration and development expenditures in relation to the mineral dispositions as follows:  (a) $50,000 (CAD) by the first anniversary date of the Option Agreement; (b) $75,000 (CAD) by the second anniversary date of the Option Agreement; and (c) $100,000 (CAD) by the third anniversary date of the Option Agreement.  The Company also could accelerate its expenditures on the mineral dispositions and these expenditures would then be credited toward subsequent anniversary work commitments.  The Option Agreement also provided that the Company’s exploration and development expenditures include an administrative fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of all direct costs incurred by the Company in conducting exploration and development, including, but without limitation, salaries and benefits.
 
As of December 31, 2008, Atlantic paid $50,000 to Claim Lake Nickel for mineral dispositions, and recorded the remaining $175,000 (CAD) as a liability in its financial statements.

On October 31, 2009, Atlantic released Claim Lake Nickel from any rights arising from the Option Agreement and recorded the $175,000 (CAD) as gain on release of mining payable in its financial statements.
 
NOTE 4-
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and restated on February 4, 2010, authorizes two classes of stock:  (a) preferred stock – 20,000,000 shares authorized at a par value of $0.000001 per share; and (b) common stock – 1,000,000,000 shares authorized at a par value of $0.000001 per share.
 
The Company has not issued any shares of preferred stock to date.
 
In November 2006, the Company issued 15,150,000 shares of common stock to its founder at $0.002 per share.  The proceeds of $30,000 were reflected originally as a subscription receivable, and all of this amount has been paid.  The Company registered 10,100,000 shares of common stock to be offered at $0.0099 per share.  In April 2008 through September 2008, the Company issued 5,100,500 shares of common stock at $0.0099 per share for a total of $50,500 (Canadian dollars).  As of December 31, 2009, the Company had 20,250,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.  These numbers of shares and dollar amounts have been adjusted, where appropriate, to reflect the Stock Split.

The Company has not issued any options or warrants through December 31, 2009.
 
NOTE 5-
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
 
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities.  Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s tax return.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
