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 developing a utility-scale solar farm on an approximately 700 acre property in Upper Pittsgrove Township, New Jersey.  The property is divided into two tracts – a 130-acre eastern site and a 520-acre western site – that are subject to two separate lease agreements.  Atlantic received final site plan approval and a use variance from the Board of Upper Pittsgrove Township for Atlantic’s development of a solar farm on the 130-acre eastern site in July 2010.  However, the Board denied preliminary site plan approval for the 520-acre western site.  Atlantic is in the process of appealing this decision.
 
Atlantic’s primary business activities to date have focused on locating and acquiring rights to one or more suitable parcels of land for solar projects, including approximately 700 acres in Upper Pittsgrove Township, securing the necessary regulatory and land use approvals for the construction and operation of a solar farm on the two tracts of land comprising the Upper Pittsgrove Township property, and securing interconnection rights to the regional electrical grid.  Atlantic’s application to PJM Interconnection, LLC (“PJM”), the regional transmission organization that operates the electrical grid serving states located in the Mid-Atlantic region and the District of Columbia, has been accepted, and PJM has assigned Atlantic eight queue positions to connect to the grid.  Please see “Business – Interconnection to Distribution and Transmission Lines” below for more information.
 
To date, Atlantic has not generated any revenue and has not commenced any revenue-generating activities.

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, such as the Middle East.  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 and possibly with other business partners, 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 “Business – Interconnection to Distribution and Transmission Lines” below.
 
Upper Pittsgrove Township Solar Farm
 
Effective November 30, 2009, Atlantic entered into the a ground lease with Edward Stella, Jr., Vice President of Project Development and a director of the Company, for certain parcels of undeveloped land located in Upper Pittsgrove, New Jersey aggregating approximately 700 acres  on which the Company intends to develop a solar farm.  It is currently projected that a solar farm on the property could generate up to 100 Mega Watts of electric power.  On August 6, 2010, Atlantic and Mr. Stella restructured the original lease into two separate lease agreements, each relating to one of the two tracts of property leased by Atlantic pursuant to the original lease: the East Tract Ground Lease Agreement relating to the 130-acre eastern tract, of which approximately 90 acres are suitable for development of a solar farm, and the West Tract Ground Lease Agreement relating to the 520-acre western tract, of which approximately 422 acres are suitable for development of a solar farm.  The lease, and each of the restructured leases, were negotiated between the parties at arm’s length and the amount of rent payable under each of the restructured leases is believed to be equal to fair market value.  The restructured leases each provide for a term of twenty-five years with annual base rent phased-in as construction of the solar farm facilities progresses as provided in the restructured leases.  Atlantic has the option to extend each of the restructured leases for four successive periods of five years each beyond the initial twenty-five year term.

In the event that Atlantic is not able to obtain all regulatory approvals necessary to begin construction of the solar farm on either tract before the expiration of the eighteen month approval period commencing on August 6, 2010, Atlantic shall have the option to terminate the restructured lease relating to that tract.  In exchange for a fee, Atlantic shall have the right to extend the eighteen month approval period (1) for two additional consecutive periods of six months, and (2) after the expiration of both six month extension periods, for successive periods of three months.  Upon Atlantic’s receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals for the construction and operation of the solar farm, Atlantic shall make an additional lump sum payment to Mr. Stella, which shall not off-set amounts otherwise owed in rent.
 
Atlantic has been granted an option to purchase the two tracts at any time before the eighth anniversary of the original lease, subject to certain credits for amounts previously paid under the restructured leases.  Atlantic also has been granted a right of first refusal with respect to the two tracts if Mr. Stella receives a bona fide offer to purchase either tract.
 
Atlantic received final site plan approval and a use variance from the Board of Upper Pittsgrove Township for Atlantic’s development of a solar farm on the 130-acre eastern site in July 2010.  However, the Board denied preliminary site plan approval for the 520-acre western site.  Atlantic is in the process of appealing this decision.
 
Interconnection to Distribution and Transmission Lines
 
The sale of electricity generated at a solar farm requires access to the electric grid to transmit electricity to be sold to customers. The electric grid that serves New Jersey and several surrounding states is managed by PJM, a federally-regulated regional transmission organization.  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 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.
 
Connection of a solar farm site to the PJM electrical grid requires the completion of several studies of a proposed site.  When PJM accepts an application for interconnection to the grid, PJM will assign the applicant one or more queue positions to connect to the grid.  Each queue position is configured to accommodate a certain quantity of electrical energy generated by and transmitted to the electrical grid from a solar farm.  PJM and the applicant then enter into a Feasibility Study Agreement, pursuant to which PJM determines the feasibility of connecting the proposed site to the electrical grid.  PJM presents the conclusions of this study to the applicant in a Feasibility Study Report.  PJM and the applicant next enter into a System Impact Study Agreement, pursuant to which PJM identifies any constraints on the connection of the site to the electrical grid, which are presented to the applicant in a System Impact Report.  The last phase of the study process is the Facilities Study Agreement, pursuant to which PJM develops a Facilities Study Report that includes a conceptual engineering and design plan for the facilities (such as power lines) required to connect the site to the electrical grid via the local utility company electrical substations.  Upon the completion of the Facilities Study Report, an applicant may enter into construction and service contracts and commence construction of the necessary facilities.  Construction of the facilities is typically performed by the local utility company.
 
Atlantic has been assigned eight queue positions to connect to the PJM electrical grid.  Four of the eight queue positions assigned to Atlantic relate to the planned Upper Pittsgrove Township solar farm, which are configured for an aggregate of 80 Mega Watts of electricity.  Feasibility Studies have been completed for each of these four queues.  System Impact Studies are in progress for three of the queues and a System Impact Report has been completed for one of the queues.  With respect to the latter queue for which the System Impact Report has been completed, Atlantic has entered into a Facilities Study Agreement with PJM, which is currently on-going.
 
Atlantic is currently in the process of evaluating potential opportunities for the utilization of the other four queue positions it has been assigned.  See “Business – Identification of Additional Projects” below.

Identification of Additional Projects
 
In addition to utilizing certain of its PJM queue positions in connection with the planned development of a solar farm on the Upper Pittsgrove Township property, Atlantic will seek to utilize its contractual rights to its other PJM queue positions by identifying potential opportunities to develop solar projects on sites located in southern New Jersey.  Atlantic will either acquire the rights to develop a site as a solar farm outright or enter into a joint venture with one or more strategic partners to develop a solar project.   To facilitate its plan to utilize its queue positions to develop solar projects in southern New Jersey,  Atlantic formed six wholly-owned limited liability company subsidiaries and assigned certain of its rights to the queue positions among several of these subsidiaries.  At this time, Atlantic cannot determine whether it will be able to secure any additional suitable sites for solar projects or enter into one or more joint ventures with strategic partner(s) for the development of solar projects.  In the event that Atlantic enters into a potential joint venture with a strategic partner, no assurance can be given that the terms will be favorable to Atlantic and it is likely that Atlantic will receive a minority, non-controlling interest in the joint venture.
 
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.
 
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 or other land use board and other permits before the Company is permitted to construct solar farm facilities on any of its properties.  Atlantic has received final site plan approval and a use variance from the Board of Upper Pittsgrove Township to construct a solar farm on the 130-acre eastern site of the property leased by Atlantic in Upper Pittsgrove Township, New Jersey. Atlantic was initially denied preliminary site plan approval for the 520-acre western site of the Upper Pittsgrove Township property, and is in the process of appealing this decision.
 
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/or grants, if available, 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 value of RECs differs state to state and such value is generally adversely impacted by increased supply of renewable energy. The value of RECs can also fluctuate with changes to RPS requirements.
 
Solar renewable energy certificates (“SRECs”) represent the attributes associated with one Mega Watt hour of produced from a solar energy system. Certain states have RPS requirements with specific requirements for solar energy, pursuant to which energy suppliers or utilities must procure a certain percentage of electricity from qualified solar renewable energy resources. These energy suppliers and/or utilities can meet their solar RPS requirements by purchasing SRECs from homeowners and businesses that own solar systems and produce SRECs. Energy suppliers and utilities that fail to secure a sufficient number of SRECs in compliance with their RPS requirements are required to pay a fee, which is referred to as a Solar Alternative Compliance Payment (“SACP”). The amount of a state’s SACP effectively places a cap on the value of an SREC, as energy suppliers and utilities can opt to pay the SACP if the price of an SREC approaches or exceeds the amount of the SACP.
 
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.
 
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.
 
 
5

 

 
Suppliers
 
The Company will rely on third party suppliers to supply solar panels and other equipment required to construct the infrastructure of the Upper Pittsgrove Township solar farm or any other solar farm developed solely by the Company.  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 Upper Pittsgrove Township solar farm and such other solar farms developed in the state of New Jersey 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 25, 2011, the Company had six employees, including its four executive officers, Robert Demos, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, R. Scott Byrne, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary, Frank D’Agostino, Jr., Chief Financial Officer and Director of Business Development, 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.

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 Upper Pittsgrove Township, New Jersey.
 
Please see the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with 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 February 4, 2010, 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.
 
Results of Operations
 
For the years ended December 31,2010 and 2009
 
Net Loss.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, our net loss from operations was $1,820,265 as compared to a net loss from operations of $53,910 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The $1,766,355 in additional net loss in 2010 was primarily attributable to the $1,815,180 of interest expense recorded in 2010 which was due to the derivative liability associated with the issuance by the Company in October 2010 of convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 and related warrants to purchase an aggregate of 535,714 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the $538,607 increase in operating expenses over the amount incurred in 2009, offset by the change in fair market value of the derivative liabilities of $582,778 and interest income of $4,948.  The increased operating expenses are primarily attributable to increased payroll and professional costs and the other expenses associated with the development of the Upper Pittsgrove Township solar farm.

Revenues.  The Company did not have any revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
Expenses.  Total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $592,811 and $54,204, respectively.  Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 consisted of $196,322 in professional fees and $396,489 in compensation and general and administrative expenses, as compared to operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 consisting of $43,656 in professional fees and $10,548 in general and administrative expenses.  The $538,607 increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased payroll, increased professional fees relating to SEC reporting obligations of the Company and project development and the costs associated with the Company’s activities related to the development of the Upper Pittsgrove Township solar farm, including expenses associated with obtaining the necessary land use approvals for the Upper Pittsgrove property and securing interconnection rights to the PJM electrical grid.
 
Interest Income.  The Company had interest income of $4,948 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to interest income of $294 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The $4,654 increase in interest income was primarily attributable to increased deposits.
 
Income Taxes.  No income tax provision has been made for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
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 Upper Pittsgrove Township, New Jersey.
 
 On October 12, 2010, the Company sold convertible promissory notes to certain investors in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 535,714 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each promissory note has a term of eighteen months and accrues interest at a rate of 8% annually. On February 4, 2011, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with a lender pursuant to which the lender loaned to the Company $250,000, evidenced by a promissory note which has a term of six months and accrues interest at a rate of 6% annually.
 
As of March 7, 2011, the Company’s cash position was approximately $241,233. The Company anticipates that its current cash position is not sufficient to fund its operations through December 31, 2011. Furthermore, the Company estimates expenditures related to the development and construction of the solar farm on the eastern site of its leased property in Upper Pittsgrove Township will be in the range of $60 million, and therefore, without any additional financing, the Company will not be able to commence construction of the solar farm on the eastern site. The Company anticipates that it will seek additional capital through debt or equity financings. Any additional equity financing may result in substantial dilution to the Company’s stockholders. The Company will also evaluate various strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, partnering with another energy supplier or other company, to fund the development of the Upper Pittsgrove Township solar farm and/or other solar projects.

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 $1,874,175.  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
 
The Company is a smaller reporting company and is therefore not required to provide this information.
 
Item 8.       Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
 
The financial statements and supplementary data of the Company required by this item are submitted under a separate section of this report.  Reference is made to the Index of Financial Statements contained on page F-1 herein.

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 and its Chief Financial Officer and Director of Business Development, who concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are now 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 the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
The Company believes that the participation of Frank D’Agostino, Jr., the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Director of Business Development, in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, especially during the Company’s last fiscal quarter, has had a material affect on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  During the last fiscal quarter, Mr. D’Agostino worked with the board in implementing disclosure controls and procedures aimed at ensuring the Company meets its reporting and disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act.  Mr. D’Agostino was recently appointed Chief Financial Officer of the Company on March 25, 2011.

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 and Chief Financial Officer and Director of Business Development, 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.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluations of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management, with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Director of Business Development, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Atlantic Green Power Holding Company
(A Development Stage Company)
West Atlantic City, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Atlantic Green Power Holding Company, (a development stage company) (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010, for the period from September 17, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2009 and for the period from September 17, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 consolidated 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Atlantic Green Power Holding Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010, for the period from September 17, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2009 and for the period from September 17, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2010 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 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had an deficit accumulated during the development stage at December 31, 2010 and had a net loss and cash used in operating activities for the year then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ATLANTIC GREEN POWER HOLDING COMPANY
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

Lodestar Mining, Incorporated (“Lodestar”) was incorporated on October 31, 2006 under the laws of the state of Delaware.  On February 4, 2010, Lodestar changed its name to Atlantic Green Power Holding Company (the “Company”).

Atlantic Green Power Corporation (“Atlantic”) (a development stage company), was incorporated on September 17, 2009 under the laws of the state of New Jersey.  Atlantic was formed to develop renewable energy systems and related activities. Prior to October 1, 2009, Atlantic was inactive.

Merger of Atlantic Green Power Corporation

On January 29, 2010, Lodestar entered into an Agreement and Plan of Exchange (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Atlantic and Ian McKinnon (“McKinnon”), the majority stockholder of Lodestar.

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, Lodestar agreed to issue an aggregate of 38,099,250 shares of Lodestar's common stock to the Atlantic shareholders in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Atlantic (the “Share Exchange”). In addition, in accordance with the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement between Lodestar and McKinnon, Lodestar purchased 15,150,000 shares of its common stock owned by Ian McKinnon for $250,000, using funds received from Atlantic, and retired the purchased common stock. The shares of common stock issued by the Company in the Share Exchange represented approximately 88.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately after the retirement of the 15,150,000 shares purchased from McKinnon.

As a result of the ownership interests of the former shareholders of Atlantic, for financial statement reporting purposes, the Share Exchange between the Company and Atlantic has been treated as a reverse acquisition with Atlantic deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company deemed the accounting acquiree under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Section 805-10-55 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”). The reverse merger is deemed a capital transaction and the net assets of Atlantic (the accounting acquirer) are carried forward to the Company (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the combination.  The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of the Company and the assets and liabilities of Atlantic which are recorded at historical cost.  The equity of the Company is the historical equity of Atlantic retroactively restated to reflect the number of shares issued by the Company in the transaction.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Atlantic. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
 
F-7

 
 

 
Development stage company

The Company is a development stage company as defined by Section 810-10-20 of the Codification. The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts toward 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.
 
Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company has adopted Section 360-10-35-17 of the Codification for its long-lived assets. The Company’s long-lived assets, which include deposits and construction in progress, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.  Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.  If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.  The Company determined that there were no impairments of long-lived assets as of December 31, 2010 or 2009.

Discount on debt
 
The Company allocated the proceeds received from convertible debt instruments between the underlying debt instruments and has recorded the conversion feature as a liability in accordance with Paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the Codification. The conversion feature and certain other features that are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision, have been recorded at their fair value within the terms of Paragraph 815-15-25-1 of the Codification as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note value. The conversion liability is marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
 
F-8

 

 
Derivative instruments
 
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Paragraph 810-10-05-4 of the Codification and Paragraph 815-40-25 of the Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.
 
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. 
 
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company follows Paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the Codification to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

     
Level 1
 
Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2
 
Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3
 
Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s note payable and convertible notes payable approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2010.
 
The Company revalues its derivative liability at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative liability.  The Company has no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Revenue recognition

The Company applies Paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the Codification for revenue recognition.  The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement that the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Stock-based compensation for obtaining employee services and equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in which the Company obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions under the recognition and measurement principles of the fair value recognition provisions of Section 718-10-30 of the Codification and accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under the guidance of Section 505-50-30 of the Codification.  Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-30-6 of the Codification, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.  The fair value of each option grant estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
                                                                                     
 
December 31, 2010
Risk-free interest rate
3.0%
Dividend yield
0.00%
Expected volatility
100%
Expected option life
5 years

The expected life of the options has been determined using the simplified method as prescribed in Paragraph 718-10-S99-1 FN77 of the Codification.  The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions and a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.  Additionally, the Company’s policy is to issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs shown in the table above for 2010 are as follows:

 
(a)   The expected volatility is based on a combination of the historical volatility of the Company’s and comparable companies’ stock over the contractual life of the options.

 
(b)   The Company uses historical data to estimate employee termination behavior. The expected life of options granted is derived from Paragraph 718-10-S99-1 of the Codification and represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding.
 
 
 
F-10

 

 
 
(c)   The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Department of the Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the contractual life of the option.

 
(d)   The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the contractual life of the option.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the Codification.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company adopted Section 740-10-25 of the Codification. Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods, and requires increased disclosures.  The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
 
Net loss per common share

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to Section 260-10-45 of the Codification.  Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and convertible debt.
 
 
F-11

 
 
The following table shows the potentially outstanding dilutive shares excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation for the interim period ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 as they were anti-dilutive:

Commitment and contingencies

The Company follows Subtopic 450-20 of the Codification to report accounting for contingencies.  Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

Cash flows reporting

The Company adopted Paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method  as defined by Paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.  The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to Paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the Codification.

Subsequent events

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements are issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its consolidated financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that require new disclosures as follows:
 
 
(a)
Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers.

 
(b)
Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).

This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows:
 
 
(a)
Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities.

 
(b)
Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.

This update also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers' disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets (Subtopic 715-20). The conforming amendments to Subtopic 715-20 change the terminology from major categories of assets to classes of assets and provide a cross reference to the guidance in Subtopic 820-10 on how to determine appropriate classes to present fair value disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-21, “Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies,” to conform the  reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to the terminology and provisions in ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and in ASC 810-10, “Consolidation. ASU 2010-21 was issued to reflect SEC Release No. 33-9026, “Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies,” which was effective April 23, 2009. The ASU also proposes additions or modifications to the XBRL taxonomy as a result of the amendments in the update.

In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-22, “Accounting for Various Topics: Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs,” which amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 112.  SAB No. 112 amended and/or rescinded portions of certain SAB topics.  The topics affected include reporting of inventories in condensed financial statements for Form 10-Q, debt issue costs in conjunction with a business combination, sales of  stock by subsidiary, gain recognition on sales of business, business combinations prior to an initial public offering, loss contingent and liability assumed in business combination, divestitures, and oil and gas exchange offers.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU2010-28 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”.  Under ASU 2010-28, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, an entity must assess whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. To make that determination, an entity should consider whether there are adverse qualitative factors that could impact the amount of goodwill, including those listed in ASC 350-20-35-30. As a result of the new guidance, an entity can no longer assert that a reporting unit is not required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test because the carrying amount of the reporting unit is zero or negative, despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate goodwill is more likely than not impaired. ASU 2010-28 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption prohibited.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29 “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” ASU 2010-29 specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this update also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amended guidance is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $1,874,175 at December 31, 2010, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities of $1,820,265 and $461,606 for the year then ended, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company anticipates that its current cash position is not sufficient to fund its operations through December 31, 2011.  Furthermore, the Company estimates expenditures related to the development and construction of the solar farm on the eastern site of its leased property in Upper Pittsgrove Township will be in the range of $60 million, and therefore, without any additional financing, the Company will not be able to commence construction of the solar farm on the eastern site.  The Company anticipates that it will seek additional capital through debt or equity financings.  Any additional equity financing may result in substantial dilution to the Company’s stockholders.  The Company will also evaluate various strategic alternatives, including, but not limited to, partnering with another energy supplier or other company, to fund the development of the Upper Pittsgrove Township solar farm and/or other solar projects.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
 
 
F-14

 
 
NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS
 
Deposits reflect the costs incurred by the Company to obtain the local zoning board approvals and other permits necessary for the construction of a solar farm on property leased by Atlantic in Upper Pittsgrove Township, New Jersey, as well as consulting fees related to the development of the Upper Pittsgrove Township solar farm, and costs associated with the PJM interconnection process. Deposits were $701,091 and $49,990 at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
NOTE 5 – CONSTRUCTION IN PROCESS

Construction in progress is the shift of costs from deposits of $341,700 at December 31, 2010 to costs incurred in obtaining the local zoning board approvals and other permits necessary for the construction of a solar farm on the Upper Pittsgrove Township property. On July 15, 2010, the Company received final site plan approval for the development of a solar farm on the 90-acre eastern tract of the Upper Pittsgrove Township property.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On October 12, 2010, the Company entered into a Stock Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Alpha Capital Anstalt and Adventure Ventures LLC (collectively, the “Subscribers”), pursuant to which the Subscribers purchased convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, and warrants to purchase 535,714 shares of the Company’s common stock.  

Each note has a term of eighteen (18) months and accrues interest at eight percent (8%) per annum.  The holder of a note has the right from and after the issuance thereof until such time as the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion thereof into shares of common stock at $0.70 per share.  The conversion price and number and kind of shares to be issued upon conversion of the notes are subject to adjustment from time to time as more fully described in the notes.

Each of the warrants issued to the Subscribers has a term of five (5) years from October 12, 2010 and was fully vested on the date of issuance.  The warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per share.  The number of shares of common stock underlying each warrant and the exercise price are subject to certain adjustments as more particularly described in the warrants.

Due to the fact that these notes have full reset adjustments based upon the issuance of equity securities by the Company in the future, they are subject to derivative liability treatment under Section 815-40-15 of the Codification (formerly FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 07-5). The notes have been measured at fair value using a lattice model at year end with gains and losses from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The notes when issued gave rise to a derivative liability which was recorded as a discount to the notes of $500,000 and interest expense of $831,765.
 
The embedded derivative of these notes was re-measured at December 31, 2010 yielding a gain on change in fair value of the derivative of $371,097, for the period ended December 31, 2010.  The derivative value of these notes at December 31, 2010, yielded a derivative liability at fair value of $960,668.

The warrants, associated with the notes, when issued, gave rise to a derivative liability which was recorded as interest expense of $937,364.
 
 
F-15

 
 
The embedded derivative of these warrants was re-measured at December 31, 2010 yielding a gain on change in fair value of the derivative of $211,681, for the period ended December 31, 2010.  The derivative value of these warrants at December 31, 2010, yielded a derivative liability at fair value of $725,683.
 
NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

On August 23, 2010, the Company entered in to a consulting agreement for advisory services, which provided for payments of $6,000 per month together with the issuance of up to a total of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The consulting agreement was terminated on September 17, 2010.  The Company issued the consultant 25,000 shares of common stock and paid the consultant $6,000 pursuant to the consulting agreement, resulting in consulting expense of $46,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In September 2010, the Company settled a $4,000 outstanding balance with a vendor for certain public relations services by issuing the vendor 2,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Warrants

On October 12, 2010, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Alpha Capital Anstalt and Adventure Ventures LLC, pursuant to which the Subscribers purchased convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 535,714 shares of the Company’s common stock.   Each of the warrants issued to the Subscribers has a term of five (5) years from October 12, 2010 and was fully vested on the date of issuance.  The warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per share.  The number of shares of common stock underlying each warrant and the exercise price are subject to certain adjustments as more particularly described in the warrants.

Stock Options

In February 2010, the Company’s stockholders approved the Atlantic Green Power Holding Company Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”).  The Incentive Plan went into effect on February 3, 2010.  Ten million (10,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan.

On February 5, 2010, the Company granted under the Incentive Plan a nonqualified option to purchase 200,000 shares of its common stock to Rania Pontikos, Director of Technology and Strategic Planning of the Company.  The nonqualified option was granted as compensation for services to the Company.  The nonqualified option granted to Ms. Pontikos has an exercise price of $.25 per share and expires on February 4, 2015.  The shares underlying the nonqualified option vest as follows:  16,674 shares vested on February 5, 2010; 16,666 shares vested on each of March 1, 2010, April 1, 2010, May 1, 2010, June 1, 2010, July 1, 2010, August 1, 2010, September 1, 2010, October 1, 2010, November 1, 2010, and December 1, 2010; with the final 16,666 shares vesting on January 1, 2011.
 
 
F-16

 
 
 
On March 8, 2010, the Company granted under the Incentive Plan a nonqualified option to purchase 20,000 shares of its common stock to Daniel Schohl.  The nonqualified option was granted as compensation for services to the Company.  The nonqualified option granted to Mr. Schohl had an exercise price of $.25 per share and was scheduled to expire on March 7, 2015.  On August 20, 2010, Mr. Schohl’s employment with the Company terminated and the entire nonqualified option granted to him was cancelled as of the date of termination.
 
The aggregate fair value of the nonqualified stock options granted in February and March 2010 under the Incentive Plan using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model was $41,602 at the dates of grant.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of  $34,669  for shares vested.

On July 2, 2010, the Company entered into a Finder’s Agreement with Millennium Power, pursuant to which Millennium Power is to identify prospective candidates interested in making an investment in, or pursuing a strategic initiative with, the Company.  Millennium Power is engaged by the Company under the Finder’s Agreement as a non-exclusive independent contractor and is compensated at a rate equal to a maximum of two percent (2%) of the investment amount in the Company made by any investor introduced to the Company by Millennium Power.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company remitted $47,568.62, to Millennium Power.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Ground Lease

Effective November 30, 2009, Atlantic entered into the Ground Lease with Edward Stella, Jr., a director of Atlantic and who was subsequently elected as a director and appointed as Vice President of Project Development of the Company upon the consummation of the Share Exchange on February 3, 2010.  The Ground Lease was negotiated between the parties at arms’ length.  The Ground Lease permitted Atlantic to construct and operate a solar farm on the leased premises located in Upper Pittsgrove Township, New Jersey.

On August 6, 2010, Atlantic and Mr. Stella restructured the Ground Lease into two separate lease agreements, each relating to one of the two tracts of property leased by Atlantic pursuant to the original Ground Lease: the East Tract Ground Lease Agreement relating to the 130-acre eastern tract, of which approximately 90 acres are suitable for development of a solar farm, and the West Tract Ground Lease Agreement relating to the 520-acre western tract, of which approximately 422 acres are suitable for development of a solar farm.  Each of these restructured lease agreements has an initial term of 25 years.

Note Payable – Insurance

On May 6, 2010, the Company entered into a finance agreement with AFCO. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, AFCO loaned the Company the principal amount of $10,680.87, which would accrue interest at 6% per annum, to partially fund the payment of the premium of the Company’s Director and Officer liability insurance. The agreement requires the Company to make nine monthly payments of $1,216.63, including interest. The first payment was made by the Company on June 6, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance related to this finance agreement was $1,210.

NOTE 10 – CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2010, a majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was held by two major financial institutions located in the United States, the balance of those accounts may at times exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. However, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated all events that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date when the financial statements were issued. The management of the Company determined that there are certain reportable subsequent events to be disclosed as follows:
 
On February 4, 2011, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Whalehaven Capital Fund Limited (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender loaned to the Company $250,000, evidenced by a promissory note which has a term of six (6) months and accrues interest at a rate of six percent (6%) annually.  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
