SATCON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2011 (“2011”) AND JUNE 30, 2010 (“2010”)

(Unaudited)

Note A. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Satcon Technology Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (Satcon Power Systems Canada, Ltd. and Satcon Trading (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.) and its discontinued operating subsidiaries (Satcon Applied Technology, Satcon Electronics, Inc. and Satcon Power Systems, Inc.) (collectively, the “Company”) as of June 30, 2011 and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These unaudited consolidated financial statements, which, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year.

Note B. Realization of Assets and Liquidity

The Company has developed a business plan that envisions a continued increase in assets and revenue from the results experienced in the recent past. The Company believes that its existing plan will generate sufficient cash which, along with its existing cash on hand and its credit facility, as modified on June 30, 2011, will enable it to fund operations through at least June 30, 2012.

The Company’s funding plans for our working capital needs and other commitments may be adversely impacted if it fails to realize its underlying assumed levels of revenues and expenses, receivables are not collected or if the Company fails to remain in compliance with the covenants of its bank line, subordinated note payable or subordinated convertible notes. If any of these events were to occur, the Company may need to raise additional funds in order to sustain operations by selling equity or taking other actions to conserve its cash position, which could include selling of certain assets, delaying capital expenditures and incurring additional indebtedness, subject to the restrictions in the credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank and the subordinated convertible notes. Such actions would likely require the consent of Silicon Valley Bank, the lender of our subordinated debt, and/or the holder of our subordinated convertible notes, and there can be no assurance that such consents would be given. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such funds if they are required.

Note C. Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Consolidation

There have been no material changes from the Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation previously disclosed in Part II, Item 8, contained within “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period reported. Management believes the most significant estimates include the net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, warranty provisions, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the fair value of equity and financial instruments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Table of Contents

Reclassifications

Certain prior-year balances have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentations.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Satcon Technology Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (Satcon Power Systems Canada, Ltd. and Satcon Trading (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.) and its discontinued operating subsidiaries (Satcon Applied Technology, Inc., Satcon Electronics, Inc. and Satcon Power Systems, Inc.). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery of the product to the customer has occurred and the Company has determined that collection of the fee is reasonably assured. Title to the product passes upon shipment of the product, as the products are typically shipped FOB shipping point, unless otherwise agreed upon in advance with the customer. If the product requires installation to be performed by the Company, all revenue related to the product is deferred and recognized upon the completion of the installation. If the product requires specific customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance occurs or the acceptance provisions lapse, unless the Company can objectively and reliably demonstrate that the criteria specified in the acceptance provisions are satisfied. When appropriate the Company provides for a warranty reserve at the time the product revenue is recognized. If a contract involves the provision of multiple elements and the elements qualify for separation, total estimated contract revenue is allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of each element provided. The amount of revenue allocated to each element is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of another element in the future. Revenue is recognized on each element as described above.

Cost of product revenue includes materials, labor, overhead, warranty and freight.

Deferred revenue primarily consists of cash received for extended product warranties, preventative maintenance plans and up-time guarantee programs. Deferred revenue also consists of payments received from customers in advance of services performed, product shipped or installation completed. When an item is deferred for revenue recognition purposes, the deferred revenue is recorded as a liability and the deferred costs are recorded as a component of inventory in the consolidated balance sheets.

Contract Losses

When the current estimates of total contract revenue for a customer order indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 the Company recorded a contract loss on a customer order of approximately $1.1 million. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $4.0 million of costs related to product development. At June 30, 2011 the accrued contract cost were approximately $2.3 million.

Unbilled Contract Costs and Fees and Funded Research and Development Costs in Excess of Billings

Unbilled contract costs and fees represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed due to contractual provisions or deferred costs that have not been recognized as revenue or billed to the customer.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no restricted cash.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts is based primarily on a specific analysis of accounts in the receivable portfolio and historical write-off experience. While management believes the allowance to be adequate, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Table of Contents

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of actual cost to purchase and/or manufacture the inventory or the current estimated market value of the inventory, and costs are determined based on the first-in, first-out method of accounting and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. A significant decrease in demand for the Company’s products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases and an increase of excess inventory quantities on hand. In addition, the industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product development, and rapid product obsolescence that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand. Therefore, although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of the inventory and reported operating results. The Company records, as a charge to cost of product revenue, any amounts required to reduce the carrying value to net realizable value.

Subordinated Convertible Notes

The subordinated convertible notes include features that qualify as embedded derivatives, such as (i) the holder’s right to convert, (ii) the Company’s option to force conversion into shares of common stock of the Company, and (iii) the holder’s prepayment options. The Company has elected to measure the subordinated convertible notes and the embedded derivatives in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either gain or loss. This election was made by the Company after concluding that several of the derivatives cannot be reliably measured nor reliably associated with another derivative that can be reliably measured and determining that the aggregate fair value of the notes to be more meaningful in the context of the Company’s financial statements than if separate fair values were assigned to each of the multiple embedded instruments contained such notes.

Foreign Currency Translation

As of April 1, 2010, the Company determined that the functional currency of its foreign subsidiary was the US dollar. As the functional currency changed from the foreign currency to the reporting currency, the translation adjustments as of April 1, 2010 remains as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Prior to this determination, the functional currency was the local currency, assets and liabilities were translated at the rates in effect at the balance sheet dates, while stockholders’ equity (deficit) including the long-term portion of intercompany advances was translated at historical rates. Statements of operations and cash flow amounts were translated at the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments were included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company records the impact from foreign currency transactions as a component of other income (expense). Foreign currency gains and losses were a charge of $0.2 million and $0.2 million and a charge of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. All foreign currency transaction gains and losses were recorded as a component of other income (loss), net.

Foreign Currency Hedges

The Company uses foreign currency contracts to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated receivables. The Company primarily hedges foreign currency exposure to the Euro. The Company does not engage in trading, market making or speculative activities in the derivatives markets. The foreign currency contracts utilized by the Company do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and as a result, any fluctuations in the value of these foreign currency contracts are recognized in other loss (income) in our consolidated statements of operations as incurred. The fluctuations in the value of these foreign currency contracts do, however, largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk that they are intended to economically Hedge. As of April 18, 2011, the Company entered into a foreign currency hedge with a bank with a notational amount of approximately $1.6 million, which matured on July 18, 2011.

The following table shows the fair value of our foreign currency hedge at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

The following table shows the changes in the fair value of our foreign currency contract recorded in net loss during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011:

	(Loss) Gain Three Months Ended		(Loss) Gain Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2011		June 30, 2011

(a) The Company recorded transaction losses associated with the re-measurement of its foreign denominated assets of $203,017 and $230,792 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Transaction losses were included in Other loss (income) in the consolidated statements of operations. The net impact of transaction (losses) gains associated with the re-measurement of the foreign denominated assets and the gains (losses) incurred on the foreign currency hedge was a net loss of $82,913 and $241,100 for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method for accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. In addition, the Company is required to establish a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company is allowed to recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is the amount that represents the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized. A liability is recognized for any benefit claimed, or expected to be claimed, in a tax return in excess of the benefit recorded in the financial statements, along with any interest and penalties (if applicable) on that excess. In addition, the Company is required to provide a tabular reconciliation of the change in the aggregate unrecognized tax benefits claimed, or expected to be claimed, in tax returns and disclosure relating to the accrued interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits. Discussion is also required for those uncertain tax positions where it is reasonably possible that the estimate of the tax benefit will change significantly in the next twelve months.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards and federal and state R&D credit carry forwards, which may be available to offset future federal and state income tax liabilities which expire at various dates through 2031. Utilization of the NOL and R&D credit carry forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future provided by Sections 382 or 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as well as similar state and foreign provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOL and R&D credit carry forwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Since the Company’s formation, the Company has raised capital through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions (both pre and post initial public offering) which, combined with the purchasing shareholders’ subsequent disposition of those shares, may have resulted in a change of control, as defined by Section 382, or could result in a change of control in the future upon subsequent disposition.

The Company commissioned a study to determine whether Sections 382 or 383 could limit the use of our carryforwards in this manner. After completing this study in 2010, the Company has concluded that the limitation will not have a material impact on its ability to utilize its net operating loss or credit carryforwards. In January 2011, the Company’s board of directors adopted a shareholder rights agreement designed to protect the Company’s ability to use the NOLs for income tax purposes. However, the adoption of the shareholder rights agreement cannot guarantee complete protection against an “ownership change” and it remains possible that one may occur. See Note S. Shareholder Rights Agreement.

The tax years 1996 through 2010 remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject, which are primarily in the United States, as carryforward attributes generated in years past may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities if they are or will be used in a future period. The Company is currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction for any tax years. The Company did not recognize any interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. The Company would record any

Table of Contents

such interest and penalties as a component of interest expense. The Company does not expect any material changes to the unrecognized benefits within 12 months of the reporting date.

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation

The Company has several stock-based compensation plans, as well as stock options issued outside of such plans as an inducement to engage new executives. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the service period.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model for valuing options. This model incorporates several assumptions, including volatility, expected life and discount rate. The Company uses historical volatility as it believes it is more reflective of market conditions and a better indicator of volatility. The Company uses historical information in the calculation of expected life for its “plain-vanilla” option grants. If the Company determines that another method used to estimate expected volatility is more reasonable than the Company’s current methods, or if another method for calculating these input assumptions is prescribed by authoritative guidance, the fair value calculated for share-based awards could change significantly. Higher volatility and longer expected lives would result in an increase to share-based compensation determined at the date of grant.

The Company recognized the full impact of its stock-based compensation plans in the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and did not capitalize any such costs on the consolidated balance sheets, as such costs that qualified for capitalization were not material. The following table presents stock-based compensation expense, including amounts related to employees’ participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) of approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively (See Note R, Employee Benefit Plan), included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Net stock-based compensation expense	$	1,715,172	$	1,081,659	$	3,052,247	$	1,784,019

Compensation expense associated with the granting of stock options to employees is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the option. In instances where the actual compensation expense would be greater than that calculated using the straight-line method, the actual compensation expense is recorded in that period.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2.03 and $2.49, and $1.87 and $2.38, respectively, per option. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions:

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
Assumptions:	June 30, 2011	June 30, 2010	June 30, 2011	June 30, 2010
Expected life	0 to 5.6 (1)	5.0 to 5.6 (1)	0 to 5.6 (1)	5.0 to 6.25 years (1)
Expected volatility ranging from	73.6% to 73.9% (2)	72.4% to 76.5% (2)	73.6% to 75.1% (2)	72.4% to 76.5% (2)
Dividends	none	none	none	none
Risk-free interest rate	1% (3)	1.10% (3)	1% to 2.15% (3)	1.10% to 2.50% (3)
Forfeiture Rate (4)	0% to 6.25%	0% to 6.25%	0% to 6.25%	0% to 6.25%

(1) The option life for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was determined using actual option experience.

(2) The stock volatility for each grant is measured using the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected option life of the grant, the historical

Table of Contents

short term trend of the option and other factors, such as expected changes in volatility arising from planned changes in the Company’s business operations.

(3) The risk-free interest rate for each grant is equal to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for instruments with a similar expected life.

(4) The estimated forfeiture rate for each option grant is between 0% - 6.25%. The Company periodically reviews the estimated forfeiture rate, in light of actual experience.

At June 30, 2011 approximately $12.5 million in unrecognized compensation expense remains to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. The table below summarizes the recognition of the deferred compensation expense associated with employee stock options over the next five years as follows:

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, unbilled contract costs and deposits in bank accounts. The Company deposits its cash and invests in short-term investments primarily through a national commercial bank. Deposits in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are exposed to loss in the event of nonperformance by the institution.

The Company’s trade accounts receivable and unbilled contract costs and fees are primarily from sales to commercial customers. The Company does not require collateral and has not historically experienced significant credit losses related to receivables, letters of credit or unbilled contract costs and fees from individual customers or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area.

Significant customers are defined as those customers that account for 10% or more of total net revenue in a fiscal year or 10% or more of accounts receivable at the end of a fiscal period. The table below details out customers that were considered significant as it pertains to both revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and accounts receivable at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

	Revenue		Accounts Receivable
Period	Three Months ended June 30,	Six Months ended June 30,	At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
2011	Q-Cell International Canada Corporation (approximately 11.3%)	SunPower Corporation (approximately 12.3%)	The Ciro Group (approximately 18.1%) GCL Solar Limited (approximately 11.8%)

2010	Amun-Re a.s. (approximately 19.9%) CE Solar (approximately 10.2%)	Amun-Re a.s. (approximately 13.0%) CE Solar (approximately 12.1%)	CE Solar (approximately 12.8%) GCL Solar Limited (approximately 11.4%) Enel Green Power (approximately 10.6%)

** The accounts receivable associated with these customers were backed by irrevocable letters of credit at December 31, 2010.

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Cost of research and development includes costs incurred in connection with both funded research and development and unfunded research and development activities.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments prior to the changing of the functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary to the US dollar.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled contract costs and fees, warrants to purchase shares of common stock, accounts payable, foreign currency hedge, subordinated note payable, subordinated convertible notes and the line of credit. The estimated fair values have been determined through information obtained from market sources and management estimates. The Company’s warrant liability, subordinated convertible note and foreign currency hedge are recorded at fair value. See “Fair Value Measurements” below. The carrying value of the subordinated notes payable, as of June 30, 2011, is not materially different from the fair value of the notes. The estimated fair values of the remaining financial instruments approximate their carrying values at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of fair value hierarchy which are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 are as follows:

(1) The Company’s Level 2 financial liabilities consist of long term investor warrant liabilities comprised of the Warrant As, Warrant Cs, the warrants issued to the investors in connection with the 2007 preferred stock financing (the “2007 Financing Warrants”) and the placement agent warrants. The fair value of the Warrant As and Warrant Cs is being estimated using a binomial lattice model and the fair value of the placement agent warrants and the 2007 Financing Warrants is being estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. (see Note K. Warrant Liabilities-Valuation — Methodology and Significant Assumptions; Note L - Redeemable Convertible Series B and Series C Preferred Stock; and “Warrant Liabilities” below).

(2) The Company’s Level 2 financial liabilities consist of a foreign currency hedge. The valuation of this instrument is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the hedge. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the hedge, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.

(3) The Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities consist of a subordinated convertible notes. (See Note I.) The valuation of this instrument utilizes a continuous-variable stochastic process in the form of a Monte-Carlo Simulation and includes unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity such as discount rate applicable to the instrument’s debt-like feature, probabilities of debt-like and equity-like positions, and various probabilities of occurrences of certain future events. The analysis also includes the contractual terms of instrument in the form of interest rate, timing and extent of principal & interest payments, and time to maturity.

Warrant Liabilities

Upon issuance in 2006, the Warrant As, Warrant Bs and Warrant Cs, along with the Placement Agent Warrants (together the “Warrants”), did not meet the requirements for equity classification, because such warrants (a) must be settled in registered shares, (b) are subject to substantial liquidated damages if the Company is unable to maintain the effectiveness of the resale registration of the shares and (c) provide a cash-out election using a Black-Scholes valuation under various circumstances. Therefore these Warrants are required to be accounted for as freestanding derivative instruments. Changes in fair value are recognized as either a gain or loss in the statement of operations under the caption “Change in fair value of warrant liabilities.”

The Company determined the fair value of the Warrant As and Warrant Cs and placement agent warrants using valuation models it considers to be appropriate. The Company’s stock price has the most significant influence on the fair value of its warrants. An increase in the Company’s common stock price would cause the fair values of the warrants to increase, because the exercise price of the warrants is fixed at $1.815 per share, and result in a charge to our statement of operations. A decrease in the Company’s stock price would likewise cause the fair value of the warrants to decrease and result in a credit to our statement of operations. See Note K. Warrant Liabilities for valuation discussion.

Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock

The Company initially accounted for its issuance of Series B Preferred Stock and associated warrants by allocating the proceeds received net of transaction costs based on the relative fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock and the warrants issued to the investors, and then to any beneficial conversion rights contained in the convertible redeemable preferred securities. The Company determined the initial value of the Series B Preferred Stock and investor warrants using valuation models it considers to be appropriate. The Series B Preferred Stock was classified within the liability section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Table of Contents

In October 2010, the holders of the remaining 75 shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted their shares into common stock, resulting in the issuance of 251,677 shares of common stock.

Redeemable Convertible Series C Preferred Stock

The Company initially accounted for its issuance of Series C Preferred Stock and associated warrants by allocating the proceeds received net of transaction costs based on the relative fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock and the warrants issued to the investors, and then to any beneficial conversion rights contained in the convertible redeemable preferred securities. The Series C Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity on the balance sheet. The Company determined the initial value of the Series C Preferred Stock and investor warrants using valuation models it considers to be appropriate. The Company used the effective interest method to accrete the carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock through the earliest possible redemption date (November 8, 2011), at which time the value of the Series C Preferred Stock would have been $30.0 million or 120% of its face value and dividends.

On October 27, 2010, the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted their shares and accumulated dividends into common stock, resulting in the issuance of 27,526,344 shares of common stock. To induce the Series C Preferred Stock holders to convert their shares, the Company paid these holders an aggregate $1.25 million in cash upon conversion. The entitlement to a redemption of the Series C Preferred Shares was eliminated upon the holders’ conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common shares in October 2010.

Note D. Discontinued Operations

On January 10, 2010, the Company sold its Applied Technology business unit for approximately $0.7 million in cash, net of closing costs. Prior to the sale, the Applied Technology business unit was reported by the Company as its own operating segment. Operations associated with the Applied Technology business unit have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, and cash flows associated with this segment are included in cash flows from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company evaluated the assets of the Applied Technology business unit and as of December 31, 2009 classified them as held for sale. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of the Applied Technology business unit of approximately $0.5 million in its results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net sales from discontinued operations were $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net income from discontinued operations was income of approximately $31,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The Company has not allocated interest to discontinued operations. The Company has also eliminated all intercompany activity associated with discontinued operations.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants were excluded from the diluted average common shares outstanding, as their effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2010, shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock and related dividends were excluded from the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding as their effect would also have been antidilutive. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings 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 or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company, except when the effect would be antidilutive.

The table below summarizes the actual number of options and warrants and convertible preferred stock that were excluded from the calculation above due to their effect being antidilutive:

	June 30, 2011	June 30, 2010
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of:
Options	14,741,222	12,446,133

Note H. Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is a party to routine litigation and proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Except as described below, the Company is not aware of any current or pending litigation in which the Company is or may be a party that it believes could materially adversely affect the results of operations or financial condition.

The Company is party to various claims and suits pending for alleged damages to persons and property, alleged violations of certain laws and alleged liabilities arising out of matters occurring during the normal operation of its business.

In accordance with ASC 450-20, the Company accrues for legal proceedings when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. As of the end of each applicable reporting period, the Company reviews each of its legal proceedings to determine whether it is probable, reasonably possible or remote that a liability has been incurred and, if it is at least reasonably possible, whether a range of loss can be reasonably estimated under the provisions of ASC 450-20-25-2. In instances where the Company determines that a loss is probable and the Company can reasonably estimate a range of losses the Company may incur with respect to such a matter, the Company records an accrual for the amount within the range that constitutes its best estimate of the possible loss. If the Company is able to reasonably estimate a range but no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, the Company records an accrual in the amount that is the low end of such range. When a loss is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company will not record an accrual but will disclose its estimate of the possible range of loss where such estimate can be made in accordance with ASC 450-20-25-3. As of June 30, 2011, there were no accruals established related to the Company’s outstanding legal proceedings.

The Company offers no prediction of the outcome of any of the proceedings or negotiations described below. The Company is vigorously defending each of these lawsuits and claims. However, there can be no guarantee the Company will prevail or that any judgments against it, if sustained on appeal, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

FuelCell Arbitration. On February 17, 2011, FuelCell Energy, Inc. (“FuelCell Energy”) filed a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association seeking recovery of damages related to allegedly defective transformers that the Company procured for them. In its Demand for Arbitration, FuelCell Energy asserts that it is entitled to recovery of approximately $2.8 million from the Company. The Company vigorously denies the allegation that the transformers were defective, and has filed a counterclaim seeking recovery of amounts due to it from FuelCell Energy for materials and engineering services that the Company supplied to them totaling approximately $1.4 million. This matter has been submitted to binding arbitration for resolution. Because the arbitration is at an early stage, the Company has not determined a loss is probable.

Class Action Litigation. In July 2011, two purported securities class action complaints were filed against us, our Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer by the following plaintiffs, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts: Allan Edwards (filed July 19, 2011) and Larry Ziegler (filed July 21, 2011). The virtually identical complaints are purportedly brought on behalf of persons who acquired our common stock during the period of March 4, 2010, through July 5, 2011, and allege claims against all defendants for violations under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, as well as claims against the individual defendants for violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Putative plaintiffs claim that the defendants caused our common stock to trade at artificially inflated prices through false and misleading statements and/or omissions related to our business. The complaints seek compensatory damages for all damages sustained as a result of the defendants’ actions, including reasonable costs and expenses, and other relief as the court may deem just and proper. The Company believe these allegations are baseless and the Company intends to defend against them vigorously.

Shareholder Derivative Litigation. On August 2, 2011, a shareholder derivative action was brought by plaintiff purportedly on behalf of our company against several of our senior officers and directors, in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleges that the officer and director defendants breached their fiduciary duties by providing allegedly misleading and inaccurate information regarding our business. The shareholder derivative action generally seeks compensatory damages for all alleged losses sustained as a result of the individual defendants’ actions, including reasonable costs and expenses, and other relief as the court may deem just and proper. The Company believe that these allegations are baseless and the Company intends to defend against them vigorously.

Outstanding standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $0.3 million and $0, respectively. The Company is at times required to pledge cash as collateral on outstanding letters of credit. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, no cash was pledged as collateral on outstanding letters of credit.

Employment Agreements

The Company’s employment arrangements with each of its current Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Vice President of Global Operations, Vice President of Quality and Vice President, Administration & Secretary provide that, if his employment is terminated by the Company without cause or is constructively terminated, his salary and medical benefits will be continued for one year thereafter subject to his execution of a release agreement with the Company. In May 2011, the Company terminated the employment of its then Chief Financial Officer. Accordingly the Company has recorded a severance accrual of approximately $0.3 million.

Line of Credit

On February 26, 2008, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”). Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Bank agreed to provide the Company with a credit line up to $10.0 million. The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and advances under the Loan Agreement are limited to 80% of eligible receivables and the lesser of 25% of the value of the Company’s eligible inventory, as defined, or $1.0 million. Interest on outstanding borrowings accrued at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus one percent (1.0%) per annum, as defined, or the LIBOR Rate plus three and three quarter percent (3.75%) per annum. The Loan Agreement contained certain financial covenants relating to tangible net worth, as defined, which the Company must satisfy in order to borrow under the agreement. In addition, the Company agreed to pay to the Bank a collateral monitoring fee of $750 per month and agreed to the following additional terms: (i) $50,000 commitment fee, $25,000 to be paid at signing of the Loan Agreement and $25,000 to be paid on the one year anniversary of the Loan Agreement; (ii) an unused line fee in the amount of 0.5% per annum of the average unused portion of the revolving line; and (iii) an early termination fee of 0.5% of the total credit line if the Company terminated the Loan Agreement prior to 12 months from the Loan Agreement’s effective date.

During 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into several amendments to the Loan Agreement. On April 22, 2011, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended to date, the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with the Bank, as administrative agent, issuing lender and swingline lender, and such other lenders as set forth from time to time in the Amended Loan Agreement. The Amended Loan Agreement amended and restated the Company’s prior Loan Agreement, and provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $35 million. In addition, the Company may make a one-time request for an additional $15 million to increase the credit facility to an aggregate of $50 million, subject to the approval of the lending group.

plus (5) the lesser of (i) 60% of the cost of eligible inventory or (ii) the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, as adjusted pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, less (b) the amount of any reserves established by the Bank.

The Amended Loan Agreement contains restrictions regarding the incurrence of additional indebtedness by the Company or its subsidiaries, the ability to enter into various fundamental changes (such as mergers and acquisitions), the ability to make certain payments or investments, and other limitations customary in senior secured credit facilities. In addition, the Company must comply with certain financial conditions if its liquidity (defined as cash on deposit with the Bank plus availability under the Amended Loan Agreement) is less than $15 million.

Borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement are permitted to be used for refinancing the amounts outstanding under the existing loan agreement with the Bank, to repay certain fees and expenses, and for ongoing working capital and general corporate purposes. Interest on outstanding indebtedness under the Amended Loan Agreement will accrue at an annual rate equal to (a) the higher of (i) the prime rate and (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus one-half of one percent (0.5%) plus (b) the applicable margin. The initial applicable margin is 0.75%, and is subject to adjustment based on the Company’s liquidity in each fiscal quarter such that, if the Company’s liquidity is above $35 million, then the applicable margin is reduced to 0.25%.

The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Amended Loan Agreement are secured under various collateral documents by first priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.

The Amended Loan Agreement provides that events of default will exist in certain circumstances, including failure to make payment of principal or interest on the loans when required, failure to perform obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement and related documents, defaults on other indebtedness in excess of $200,000, the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, and certain other events. Upon an event of default, the Bank may accelerate maturity of the loans and enforce remedies under the Amended Loan Agreement and related documents.

The Amended Loan Agreement, if not sooner terminated in accordance with its terms, originally expired on April 23, 2014. On June 30, 2011, in conjunction with the Company’s convertible note financing, the Amended Loan Agreement was amended to expire on April 23, 2013.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $35.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Amended Loan Agreement. The rate used was the Bank’s prime rate of 3.5% plus 0.50% (or 4.0% at June 30, 2011) and the Bank’s prime rate of 4.0% plus 0.50% (or 4.5% at December 31, 2010). As of June 30, 2011 the Company had $0 available under the line of credit.

Notes Payable

On June 16, 2010, the Company entered into a Venture Loan and Security Agreement with Compass Horizon Funding Company LLC (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender has loaned the Company $12,000,000 (as amended to date, the “Subordinated Loan”). After the Lender’s closing fees and expenses, the net proceeds to the Company were $11,826,500. Interest on the Subordinated Loan will accrue at a rate per annum equal to 12.58%. The Subordinated Loan is currently subordinated to up to $5,000,000 of senior indebtedness, provided that from and after August 31, 2010, the senior indebtedness cannot exceed an amount equal to 80% of the Company’s accounts receivable plus 40% of its inventory. The Subordinated Loan is to be repaid over 42 months following the closing. From June 15, 2010 through April 30, 2011, the Company is only required to pay interest on the Subordinated Loan and thereafter the Subordinated Loan will be repaid in 33 substantially equal monthly installments of interest and principal. The Subordinated Loan may be prepaid by the Company by paying all accrued interest through the date of payment, the then outstanding principal balance and a prepayment premium equal to a declining percentage of the principal amount outstanding at the time of prepayment (initially 4% during the first twelve months of the subordinated Loan, decreasing to 3% for the succeeding twelve months and 2% thereafter). In connection with the Subordinated Loan, the Company has issued to the Lender five-year warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 591,716 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.43 per share (which was the 20-day trailing volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock). On June 30, 2011, the warrants were amended to lower the exercise price to $2.00 per share, resulting in a charge of approximately $0.1 million. The relative fair value of the warrants at issuance was $0.9 million and was recorded as interest expense over the term of the loan. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants, at time of issuance and when modified, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Assumptions:	June 16, 2010	June 30, 2011
Expected life	5 years	4 years
Expected volatility	74.9%	75.0%
Dividends	none	none
Risk-free interest rate	2.0%	0.5%

The Notes Payable are to be repaid over 42 months as follows:

Fiscal Year	Principal Repayment
2011	$	2,541,720
2012	4,233,191
2013	4,797,531

Subordinated Convertible Notes

On June 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchaser named therein (the “Purchaser”) in connection with the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of $16,000,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured, subordinated convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”). The shares to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, or as payment of interest on the Convertible Notes in lieu of cash, have been registered under the Securities Act, as of July 27, 2011. The Private Placement closed on June 30, 2011.

Among other terms, the Purchase Agreement provides that (1) the Company will not issue, offer or sell any equity securities of the Company, including convertible securities, subject to certain exceptions, until the date that is 30 days following the earlier of (i) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering the shares underlying the Convertible Notes (as described below) and (ii) the six month anniversary of the closing date of the issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes and (2) the Company will not redeem or declare or pay any dividends on, any of its securities without consent of the Purchaser.

The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the common stock issuable upon conversion of, or the payment of interest on, the Convertible Notes, as further described below. The Company agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act within 20 days of the closing of the Private Placement to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and as payment of interest on the Convertible Notes, which it did. The Company agreed to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 70 days following the closing of the Private Placement (or 90 days of the registration statement is reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (1) the date all of the securities covered by the registration statement have been sold, which it did, the Registration Statement was declared effective on July 27, 2011, and (2) the date all of the securities covered by the registration statement may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). If the Company fails to comply with these or certain other provisions, then the Company shall be required to pay liquidated damages of 1% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes for the initial occurrence of such failure and for each subsequent 30 day period in which the failure continues. The net proceeds of the sale of the Convertible Notes were approximately $15.0 million, after deducting placement fees and other offering-related expenses.

The Convertible Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $16 million and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.92, subject to adjustment. In addition, the conversion price will be adjusted, on the eleventh trading day following the public announcement of Satcon’s financial results for the quarter ending September 30, 2011 (the “Adjustment Date”), to the lower of (i) the then effective conversion price and (ii) 110% of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date. The Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the then applicable conversion price.

The Convertible Notes mature on July 1, 2013, and bear interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum. Interest is payable monthly, beginning on November 1, 2011, and may be made in cash or, at the option of the Company if certain equity conditions are satisfied, in shares of its common stock. If interest is paid in shares of common stock, the price per share will be at the lower of (i) the then current conversion price and (ii) 88% of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of Satcon’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the payment date.

If at any time following the Adjustment Date, the closing sale price of Company common stock exceeds 175% of the conversion price for 30 consecutive trading days, then, if certain equity conditions are satisfied, the Company may require the holders of the Convertible Notes to convert all or any part of the outstanding principal into shares of common stock at the then applicable conversion price, provided that the Company may only make a one-time election to force conversion. The Convertible Notes contain certain limitations on optional and mandatory conversion, including that, absent stockholder approval of the transaction, the Company will not issue shares of common stock under the Convertible Notes in excess of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares on the closing date.

The Convertible Notes contain certain covenants and restrictions, including, among others, that, for so long as the Convertible Notes are outstanding, the Company will not incur any indebtedness that is senior to, or on parity with, the Convertible Notes in right of payment, subject to limited exceptions for existing indebtedness. Events of default under the Convertible Notes include, among others, payments defaults, cross-defaults, the Company’s common stock is suspended from trading for a period of time or no longer listed on an eligible trading market, and certain bankruptcy-type events involving the Company or any subsidiary. Upon an event of default, the holders may elect to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes for a price equal to the greater of 120% of (i) the amount to be redeemed (as calculated through the redemption date) and (ii) the product of (A) the conversion rate with respect to such amount in effect at such time as the holders deliver a

redemption notice and (B) the greatest closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on any trading day during the period starting on the date immediately preceding the event of default and ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date the Company is required to pay the redemption amount. The holders may elect to require the Company to redeem for cash all or any portion of the outstanding principal on the Convertible Notes in connection with a change of control of the Company.

In addition, at any time after the 60th day following the earlier to occur of (i) the first date on which the resale of common stock underlying the Convertible Notes is covered by one or more effective registration statements and (ii) the six month anniversary of the closing of the Private Placement, the Company may redeem all (but not less than all) of the then outstanding amount of the Convertible Notes in cash at a price equal to the greater of 125% of (i) the amount to be redeemed (as calculated through the redemption date) and (ii) the product of (A) the conversion rate with respect to such amount in effect at such time as the Company delivers a redemption notice and (B) the greatest closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on any trading day during the period starting on the date notice of redemption is given and ending on the date immediately prior to the redemption, provided that the Company may only deliver one such redemption notice.

Accounting for the Subordinated Convertible Notes

The Company has elected to account for the subordinated convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”) as an instrument that has the characteristics of a debt host contract containing several embedded derivative features that would require bifurcation and separate accounting as a derivative instrument pursuant to the provisions of ASC 815. The Company has identified all of the derivatives associated with the June 30, 2011 financing, however, several of the derivatives can not be reliably measured nor reliably associated with another derivative that can be reliably measured. As such, the Company has appropriately valued these derivatives as a single contract together with the Convertible Notes. As permitted under ASC 825-10-10 the Company has elected, as of the issuance date to measure the Convertible Notes in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either gain or loss until the notes are settled. This election was made by the Company after determining that the aggregate fair value of the Convertible Notes to be more meaningful in the context of the Company’s financial statements than if separate fair values were assigned to each of the multiple embedded instruments contained in such Convertible Notes.

Upon issuance of the Convertible Notes the Company determined the initial carrying value of the Convertible Notes to be $16.0 million. The Convertible Notes were immediately marked to fair value, resulting in a liability in the amount of $16.4 million. The change in fair value related to the Convertible Notes was charged to change in fair value of convertible notes and warrant liabilities in the statement of operations for the period ended June 30, 2011 and totaled approximately $0.4 million. Due to the Convertible Note being carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 825, financing costs associated with obtaining convertible notes have been immediately expensed. The Company paid approximately $1.1 million in related transaction costs, which is recorded as interest expense in the statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

A summary of changes in the Convertible Notes is as follows:

	Convertible Notes
Initial gross proceeds	$	16,000,000
Fair value adjustment	350,000		(1)
Fair value at June 30, 2011	$	16,350,000

(1) Amounts included in change in fair value of subordinated convertible notes and warrant liabilities on consolidated statement of operations.

Valuation - Methodology and Significant Assumptions

The process of analyzing/valuing financial and derivative instruments utilizes facts and circumstances as of the measurement date as well as certain inputs, assumptions, and judgment calls that may affect the estimated fair value of the instruments. The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes is based on a utilization of certain valuation models that consider current and expected stock prices, expected volatility, expected interest rates, scheduled principal and interest payments, expected rate of returns and discount rates, probabilities of occurrences of certain future events, and expected liquidation horizons. Such inputs and assumptions as well as the conclusions of values are subject to significant estimates and actual results may differ.

Table of Contents

The methods, inputs, and significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of the Convertible Notes are summarized in the following sections.

Methods

A continuous-variable stochastic process in the form of a Monte-Carlo Simulation was utilized to estimate the fair value of the Convertible Notes as of the Issuance Date. Monte Carlo simulation, a process of randomly generating values for uncertain variables, is meant to imitate a real-life system especially when other analyses are too mathematically complex or too difficult to reproduce. This method was used to simulate future expected stock prices, variable strike prices, and the behavior of each of the instrument’s significant features, as discussed above, as well as the respective outcomes at each particular time in the future - bi-weekly time steps were utilized throughout the maturity of the Convertible Notes as well as daily time steps for purposes of estimating the adjustment to the Conversion price as discussed above. Other valuation methods were considered, such as the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and a binomial lattice model, but the simulation model was found as most appropriate in the analysis of the Convertible Notes due to the potential variability of the Conversion Price (and its path dependency on stock prices during a period of 10 consecutive trading days prior to the potential adjustment day) and the Company’s ability to force conversion should certain condition are met in the future (as discussed above).

The simulation model was first utilized to continuously simulate the expected prices of the Company’s common stock at each time step and throughout the remaining life of the instrument. Secondly, an analysis of each of the instrument’s significant features was conducted at each time step for purposes of determining the respective value of each feature and its affect on the price market participants would be willing to pay for the Convertible Notes. Based on the simulated stock prices, the value of each of the features at each time step, the greater of (or lower of — in the case of the options at the Company’s hands) the conversion positions, redemption positions, or holding positions (i.e. fair value as of each respective future time step discounted using the applicable effective discount rate) was conducted relative to each time step and from the perspective of the Holders, until a final fair value of the instrument is determined at the time step representing the measurement date. This model requires the following key inputs with respect to the Company and/or instrument:

Significant Assumptions:

· The Company expects to pay on time (and in shares of the Company’s common stock) all principal and accrued interests due to the Holders on each of the Installment Dates (as discussed above). The dilution effects as a result of the payment in stock vs. cash was assumed to be immaterial to the overall conclusion of the fair value of the instrument as of the valuation date;

· The volatility of the Company’s common stock was estimated by considering (i) the annualized daily volatility of the Company’s stock prices during the historical period preceding the respective valuation date and measured over a period corresponding to the remaining life of the instrument and (ii) the implied volatility based on the Company’s publicly-traded options to buy or sell the shares of the Company’s stock;

· The quoted market price of the Company’s stock was utilized in the valuations because the authoritative guidance requires the use of quoted market prices without consideration of blockage discounts. The quoted market price may not reflect the market value of a large block of stock;

· The quoted market price of the Company’s stock as of measurement dates and expected future stock prices were assumed to reflect the effect of dilution upon conversion of the instruments to shares of common stock;

· The volume weighted average price for the 10 trading days preceding the potential adjustment to the Conversion Price was reasonably approximated by the average of the simulated stock price at each respective time step of the of the simulation model;

· The simulated stock prices at each bi-weekly time steps following the date of the potential adjustment to the Conversion Price were assumed to reasonably approximates the Company’s stock prices during a period of 30 consecutive trading days (for purposes of determining whether the price condition underlying the Company’s right to force conversion, as discussed above, has been met;

· Based on the Company’s historical operations and management’s expectations for the foreseeable future, the probability of occurrence during the reaming life of the instrument was assumed diminutive (thus assigned as 5% probability in the simulation model) for events of default and change of control transactions (as defined the Agreement);

· Based on the Company’s historical operations and management’s expectations for the foreseeable future, equity conditions failures or fundamental transactions (as defined in the Agreement) were not expected to occur during the reaming life of the instrument;

· The date of the potential adjustment date to the Conversion price, as discussed above, was assumed to be based on 45 days following the end of the 3rd calendar quarter of the current year (i.e. November 15, 2011); and

· Based on the Company’s historical operations and management expectations for the near future, the Company’s stock was assumed to be a non-dividend-paying stock;

Note J. Product Warranties

The Company provides a warranty to its customers for most of its products sold. In general the Company’s warranties are for one year after the sale of the product and five years for photovoltaic inverter product sales. The Company reviews its warranty liability quarterly. The Company’s estimate for product warranties is based on an analysis of actual expenses by specific product line and estimated future costs related to warranty. Factors taken into consideration when evaluating the Company’s warranty reserve are (i) historical claims for each product, (ii) the development stage of the product, (iii) volume increases, (iv) life of warranty and (v) other factors. To the extent actual experience differs from the Company’s estimate, the provision for product warranties will be adjusted in future periods. Such differences may be significant.

Accrued warranty is included in other accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The following is a summary of the Company’s accrued warranty activity for the following periods:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Note K. Warrant Liabilities

Warrants Issued in Connection with the July 2006 Financing

In connection with the July 19, 2006 private placement of $12.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes (which notes were subsequently retired by cash redemption in November 2007), the Company issued the following Warrant As, Warrant Bs, Warrant Cs and Placement Agent Warrants:

Warrant As

The Warrant As originally entitled the holders thereof to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,636,368 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.815 per share for a period beginning six months from the date of such warrants and ending on the seventh anniversary of the date of such warrants. The period prior to six months from the date of the warrants is hereinafter referred to as the “non-exercise period.” The exercise price and the number of shares underlying these warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, distributions of assets or evidence of indebtedness, mergers, consolidations, sales of all or substantially all assets, tender offers, exchange offers, reclassifications or compulsory share exchanges.

If a change of control of the Company occurs, as defined, the holders may elect to require the Company to purchase the Warrant As for a purchase price equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of each Warrant A.

For so long as any Warrant As remain outstanding, the Company may not issue any common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than $1.65. In the event of a breach of this provision, the holders may elect to require the Company to purchase the Warrant As for a purchase price equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of each Warrant A. As a result of the November 8, 2007 and December 20, 2007 preferred stock financing, as described in Note L below, the holders were entitled for a limited period of time (45 days after each issuance) to exercise this right. During fiscal 2007, the Company paid approximately $1.4 million to redeem Warrant As representing 1,242,426 shares of common stock. During 2008, the Company paid approximately $0.4 million to redeem Warrant As representing 303,031 shares of common stock. (See table below for assumptions used in valuing the warrants redeemed). During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, warrants to purchase 580,303 shares of common stock were exercised. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Warrant As to purchase 556,061 and 1,136,364 shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively.

If the closing bid price per share of common stock for any 20 consecutive trading days exceeded 200% of the exercise price, then, if certain conditions were satisfied, including certain equity conditions, the Company had the right to require the holders of the Warrant As to exercise up to 50% of the unexercised portions of such warrants (as discussed below, this right was exercised in 2010 and 2011). If the closing bid price per share of common stock for any 20 consecutive trading days exceeds 300% of the exercise price,

then, if certain equity conditions are satisfied, the Company may require the holders of the Warrant As to exercise all or any part of the unexercised portions of such warrants.

Warrant Bs

The Warrant Bs entitled the holders thereof to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,636,368 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.68 per share for a period of 90 trading days beginning six months from the date of such warrants. As a result of an amendment, the expiration date of the Warrant Bs was extended to August 31, 2007.

On July 17, 2007, the holders of the Warrant Bs exercised such warrants in full, acquiring 3,636,638 shares of common stock at $1.31 per share. The Company received proceeds of approximately $4.8 million. To entice the holders of the Warrant Bs to exercise such warrants the Company reduced the exercise price from $1.68 to $1.31 per share. As a result of reducing the exercise price the Company recorded a charge to operations in 2007 related to the warrant modification of approximately $0.9 million to change in fair value of the Convertible Notes and warrants on the accompanying statement of operations. Pursuant to the original terms of the Warrant Bs, upon exercise of the Warrant Bs, the warrant holders were entitled to receive additional warrants (“Warrant Cs”) to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of common stock purchased upon exercise of the Warrant Bs. As a result of the full exercise of the Warrant Bs, the holders received Warrant Cs to purchase 1,818,187 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.815 per share for a period beginning six months from the date of such warrants and ending on the seventh anniversary of the date of such warrants.

Warrant Cs

As discussed above, upon the exercise of the Warrant Bs, the holders were entitled to receive additional warrants (the “Warrant Cs”). The Warrant Cs originally entitled the holders thereof to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,818,187 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.815 per share for a period beginning six months from the date of such warrants and ending on the seventh anniversary of the date of such warrants. The period prior to six months from the date of the warrants is hereinafter referred to as the “non-exercise period.” The exercise price and the number of shares underlying these warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, distributions of assets or evidence of indebtedness, mergers, consolidations, sales of all or substantially all assets, tender offers, exchange offers, reclassifications or compulsory share exchanges. If a change of control of the Company occurs, as defined, the holders may elect to require the Company to purchase the Warrant Cs for a purchase price equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of each Warrant C.

For so long as any Warrant Cs remain outstanding, the Company may not issue any common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less $1.65. In the event of a breach of this provision, the holders may elect to require the Company to purchase the Warrant Cs for a purchase price equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of each Warrant C. As a result of the November 8, 2007 and December 20, 2007 preferred stock financing, as described in Note L below, the holders were entitled for a limited period of time (45 days after each issuance) to exercise this right. During 2007, the Company paid approximately $0.7 million to redeem Warrant Cs representing 621,215 shares of common stock. During 2008, the Company paid approximately $0.2 million to redeem Warrant Cs representing 151,516 shares of common stock. (See table below for assumptions used in valuing the warrants redeemed). During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, warrants to purchase 265,152 shares of common stock were exercised. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Warrant Cs to purchase 348,485 and 613,637 shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively.

If the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock for any 20 consecutive trading days exceeded 200% of the exercise price, then, if certain conditions were satisfied, the Company had the right to require the holders of the Warrant Cs to exercise up to 50% of the unexercised portions of such warrants. If the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock for any 20 consecutive trading days exceeds 300% of the exercise price, then, if certain equity conditions are satisfied, the Company may require the holders of the Warrant Cs to exercise all or any part of the unexercised portions of such warrants.

During 2010, the Company notified the holders of the outstanding Warrant As and Warrant Cs that the holders were required to exercise 50% of their un-exercised warrants. As a result of this notification by the Company holders of Warrant As exercised warrants to purchase 469,699 shares of common stock and holders of Warrant Cs exercised warrants to purchase 234,849 shares of common stock. During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, an additional 580,303 Warrant As and 265,152 Warrant Cs were exercised, as noted above, as a result of notification sent out to the remaining holders of the Warrant As and Warrant Cs.

The table below summarizes Black-Scholes option pricing model range of assumptions that were used in valuing the warrants redeemed for both the Warrant As and Warrant Cs.

Placement Agent Warrants

First Albany Capital (“FAC”) acted as placement agent in connection with the July 19, 2006 private placement. In addition to a cash transaction fee, FAC or its designees were entitled to receive five-year warrants to purchase 218,182 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.87 per share. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Placement Agent warrants to purchase 218,182 shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively. On July 15, 2011 the Placement Agent Warrants were exercised in full, resulting in the Company issuing 218,182 shares of common stock.

Accounting for the Warrants

Upon issuance, the Warrant As, Warrant Bs and Warrant Cs, along with the Placement Agent Warrants (together the “Warrants”), did not meet the requirements for equity classification, because such warrants (a) must be settled in registered shares, (b) are subject to substantial liquidated damages if the Company is unable to maintain the effectiveness of the resale registration of the shares and (c) provide a cash-out election using a Black-Scholes valuation under various circumstances. Therefore these Warrants are required to be accounted for as freestanding derivative instruments. Changes in fair value are recognized as either a gain or loss in the statement of operations under the caption “Change in fair value of warrant liabilities.”

Upon issuance, the Company allocated $2.7 million of the initial proceeds to the Warrants and immediately marked them to fair value resulting in a derivative liability of $4.9 million and a charge to other expense of $2.2 million. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the remaining outstanding warrants have been marked to fair value resulting in a derivative liability of $1.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

The credit to change in fair value of warrant liabilities, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.4 million $1.5 million and a charge of $0.9 million and a credit of $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, related to Warrant As, Bs and Cs and placement agent warrants.

Valuation - Methodology and Significant Assumptions

The valuation of derivative instruments utilizes certain estimates and judgments that affect the fair value of the instruments. Fair values for the Company’s derivatives are estimated by utilizing valuation models that consider current and expected stock prices, volatility, dividends, forward yield curves and discount rates. Such amounts and the recognition of such amounts are subject to significant estimates which may change in the future. (See Note C. Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Consolidation for valuation related the 2007 Financing Warrants).

In estimating the fair value of the Warrants the following methods and significant input assumptions were applied:

Methods

· An intrinsic value was utilized to estimate the fair value of Warrant As and Warrant Cs upon their respective exercise dates during 2010 and 2011. According to options theory, the value of an option equals the sum of its intrinsic value and time value and as it approaches exercise/expiration date, time value approaches zero. On the date of the exercise/expiration, time value of a warrant becomes zero and the value of the option equals its intrinsic value. Intrinsic value, for in-the-money options, represents the difference between the strike price and the price of the underlying asset as of expiration/exercise date. Gain/(loss) as of exercise date is determined based on the difference between the option’s intrinsic value and its fair value as of last measurement/reporting date, with any decrease (increase) in value representing a gain (loss).

· A binomial lattice model was utilized to estimate the fair value of Warrant As and Warrant Cs on the dates in the corresponding table below, as well as the fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants on the dates in the corresponding table below. The binomial model considers the key features of the Warrants, and is subject to the significant assumptions discussed below. First, a discrete simulation of the Company’s stock price was conducted at each node and throughout the expected life of the instrument. Second, an analysis of the higher of a holding position (i.e., fair value of a future node value discounted using an applicable discount rate) or exercise position was conducted relative to each node, which considers the non-exercise period, until a final fair value of the instrument is concluded at the node representing the valuation date. This model requires the following key inputs with respect to the Company and/or instrument:

· A Black-Scholes option pricing model was utilized to estimate the fair value of Placement Agent Warrants on the dates in the corresponding table shown below. A change in method from the binomial to Black-Scholes was warranted because the warrants’ non-exercise period ended prior to the valuation date and all required inputs were fixed. This model requires the following key inputs with respect to the Company and/or instrument:

Significant Assumptions:

· Stock volatility was estimated by annualizing the daily volatility of the Company’s stock price during the historical period preceding the respective valuation dates and measured over a period corresponding to the remaining life of the instruments. Historic stock prices were used to estimate volatility as the Company did not have traded options as of the valuation dates;

· The volume weighted average price for the 20 trading days preceding a payment date was reasonably approximated by the average of the simulated stock price at each respective node of the binomial model;

· Based on the Company’s historical operations and management expectations for the near future, the Company’s stock was assumed to be a non-dividend-paying stock;

Note L. Redeemable Convertible Series B and Series C Preferred Stock

On October 31, 2003, the Company completed a $7.7 million equity transaction involving the issuance of 1,535 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and warrants to purchase up to 1,228,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to accredited investors (the “October 2003 Financing Transaction”). In connection with the October 2003 Financing Transaction, the Company issued shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $5,000 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock was convertible into a number of shares of common stock equal to $5,000 divided by the conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock, which was initially $2.50. As of June 30, 2010, the conversion price for the Series B Preferred Stock was $1.49 (as a result of adjustments to the conversion price following issuance in accordance with the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock). During 2010, the remaining 75 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted by their holders resulting in the Company issuing 251,678 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, 0 and 75 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were outstanding, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, the liquidation preference of the remaining 75 shares of Series B Preferred Stock was $375,000, and these were convertible into 251,678 shares of common stock.

Dividends on Series B Preferred Stock

The shares of Series B Preferred Stock initially bore a cumulative dividend at a rate of 6% per annum; pursuant to its terms, this was increased to a rate of rate of 8% per annum on October 1, 2005. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock were payable semi-annually and, except in certain limited circumstances, were entitled to be paid by the Company, at its option, either through the issuance of shares of common stock or in cash. The Company elected to pay the dividend in shares of common stock, and issued a number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient of the dividend payment divided by the greater of 80% of the average closing bid and ask price of the common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the 15 trading days ending on the 11th trading day prior to the date the dividend is required to be paid, and the conversion price, which was initially $2.50, but which had subsequently been adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock to $1.49 (as of June 30, 2010).

Liquidation Preference on Series B Preferred Stock

In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock would have been entitled to receive a liquidation payment prior to the payment of any amount with respect to the shares of the common stock. The amount of this preferential liquidation payment would have been $5,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on those shares. This entitlement to a liquidation preference was eliminated upon the holders’ conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into shares common stock in October 2010.

Accounting for the Series B Preferred Stock

The Company accounted for the transaction by allocating the proceeds received net of transaction costs based on the relative fair value of the redeemable convertible Series B Preferred Stock and the related warrants issued to the investors, and then to any beneficial conversion rights contained in the convertible redeemable preferred securities as follows:

Security	Face Value		Fair Value		Allocation of Proceeds, Net of Transaction Costs		Beneficial Conversion Feature		Discount
Redeemable convertible Series B Preferred Stock	$	7,675,000	$	12,398,195	$	5,247,393	$	3,655,607	$	6,083,214

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Related Warrants

On November 8, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock and Warrant Purchase agreement with Rockport Capital Partners II, L.P. and NGP Energy Technology Partners, L.P. (the “Investors”). Under this purchase agreement, the Investors agreed to purchase in a private placement 25,000 shares of the Company’s Series C convertible preferred stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) and warrants to purchase up to 19,711,539 shares of common stock, for an aggregate gross purchase price of $25.0 million. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock, with a face value of $1,000 per share, plus accumulated dividends, was initially convertible into common stock at a price equal to $1.04 per share.

On October 27, 2010, the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted their shares, including accumulated dividends, into common stock, resulting in the issuance of 27,526,244 shares of common stock. To induce the Series C Preferred Stockholders to convert their shares, the Company paid them an aggregate $1.25 million in cash upon conversion. On October 27, 2010, the date the Series C Preferred Stock was converted to common shares, the company accelerated the accretion of

Table of Contents

$1,587,755 to account for the difference between the carrying value of the Series C Preferred Shares on that date and their conversion value.

The private placement occurred in two closings. The first closing occurred on November 8, 2007. At the first closing, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at $1,000 per share for an aggregate gross purchase price of $10.0 million. The Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,262,072 shares of common stock (the “Tranche I Warrants”). These warrants are exercisable for a seven-year term and had an initial exercise price of $1.44 per share and were not exercisable until May 8, 2008. As a result of stockholder approval of the second closing and related matters on December 20, 2007, as described below, the exercise price of these warrants was reduced to $1.25 per share. The Company considered this a cancellation and reissuance of new warrants and accounted for the change in the fair value of the warrants in the allocation of net proceeds associated with the second closing and treated it as a deemed dividend to the Series C Preferred Stock holders. See “Accounting for the Series C Preferred Stock” below. During the year ended December 31, 2010, Tranche I Warrants to purchase 7,631,036 shares of common stock were exercised via a cashless exercise, resulting in the issuance of 5,038,970 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, Tranche I Warrants to purchase 7,631,036 and 15,262,072 shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively.

At the second closing, which occurred on December 20, 2007, following stockholder approval, the Company issued 15,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for an aggregate gross purchase price of $15.0 million, of which $10.0 million was paid through the cancellation of the promissory notes previously issued to the Investors on November 7, 2007. At this closing, the Company also issued warrants (the “Tranche II Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 4,449,467 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. These warrants are exercisable for a seven-year term and are exercisable immediately. During the year ended December 31, 2010, Tranche II Warrants to purchase 253,580 shares of common stock were exercised via a cashless exercise, resulting in the issuance of 167,445 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, Tranche II Warrants to purchase 4,195,887 and 4,449,467 shares of common stock were outstanding, respectively.

In the purchase agreement, the Company also agreed to issue the Investors additional warrants in the event that the holders of certain existing warrants (none of whom are affiliated with the Investors) exercise those warrants in the future. Upon such exercises, the Company will issue to the Investors additional warrants to purchase common stock equal to one-half of the number of shares of common stock issued upon exercise of these existing warrants. The exercise price of these warrants will be $1.66 per share.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of warrant exercises, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 422,727 shares of common stock to the Investors; these warrants expire on March 31, 2018. The Company valued the warrants issued in March 2011 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions detailed below with fair value of approximately $1.3 million.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as a result of warrant exercises, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 246,134 and 403,560 shares of common stock, respectively, to the Investors; these warrants expire on June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively. The Company valued the warrants issued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions detailed below with the value of approximately $0.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively. After valuing the warrants the Company allocated the calculated value to the relative fair value of each tranche of preferred stock. As a result, the Company recorded the allocated value of the warrant and the beneficial conversion feature of $0.5 million and $0.2 million, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, in the aggregate to the second closing of the Series C Preferred Stock. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a deemed dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, related to the beneficial conversion feature. See “Accounting for the Series C Preferred Stock” below.

Dividends on Series C Preferred Stock

Until their conversion in October 2010, the shares of Series C Preferred Stock accrued a dividend at a rate of 5% per annum of the face value. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock were accrued, whether or not declared, and were payable quarterly in cash or, at the Company’s option, added to the Stated Liquidation Preference Amount.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding would have been entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment was made to the holders of junior stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of:

(i) the Series C Original Issue Price ($1,000 per share) plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon (the “Stated Liquidation Preference Amount”); or

(ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series C Preferred Stock been converted into common stock immediately prior to such Liquidation. The entitlement to dividends and a liquidation preference were eliminated upon the holders’ conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock on October 27, 2010.

Accounting for the Series C Preferred Stock

Initially, based on the accounting guidance in effect at the time of the closing of the Series C Preferred Stock transaction, the Company accounted for the transaction by allocating the proceeds received net of transaction costs based on the relative fair value of the redeemable convertible Series C Preferred Stock and the warrants issued to the Investors, and then to any beneficial conversion rights contained in the convertible redeemable preferred securities as follows:

Security	Face Value		Fair Value		Allocation of Proceeds, Net of Transaction Costs		Beneficial Conversion Feature		Initial Carrying Value
Redeemable convertible Series C Preferred Stock	$	25,000,000	$	18,193,950	$	12,991,097	$	11,762,887	$	1,228,210
Warrants	—		$	18,352,179	$	10,092,623	—		—

The Series C Preferred Stock was classified as temporary equity on the balance sheet.

The re-pricing of the exercise price of the Tranche I warrants from $1.44 to $1.25, as described above, was treated as a cancellation of the original warrants issued on November 8, 2007 and a re-issuance of new warrants on December 20, 2007. The difference in fair value of the warrant was included in the allocation of net proceeds associated with the second closing of the Series C Preferred Stock on December 20, 2007. The Company treated this as a deemed dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock. The Company recorded a discount, including the re-pricing and beneficial conversion feature of $11,762,887 and recorded a deemed dividend of $11,947,881 to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, which included the initial allocation of the discount of $11,762,887 and $184,994 related to the accretion of the Series C Preferred Stock to its redemption value through the date that holders of the Series C Preferred Stock may first exercise their redemption right. Prior to the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock in October 2010, the Company used the effective interest method to accrete the carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock through the earliest possible redemption date (November 8, 2011), at which time the value of the Series C Preferred Stock would have been $30.0 million or 120% of its face value and dividends.

Note P. Restructuring Costs

On June 30, 2011, the Company completed a plan of reorganization approved by management. As a result of the restructuring, the Company recorded approximately $1.1 million in payroll-related costs relating to an approximately 15% reduction in the Company’s workforce. None of the terminated employees were required to provide any service to the Company subsequent to their receiving notification of termination. As of June 30, 2011, approximately $1.0 million remains to be paid.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company completed the final steps of its reorganization efforts in accordance with a plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Directors. As a result of the March 2010 restructuring, the Company recorded approximately $0.8 million in payroll-related costs. As of June 30, 2011, all amounts have been paid to the terminated employees. None of the terminated employees were required to provide any service to the Company subsequent to their receiving notification of termination.

Note Q. Employee Benefit Plan

During 2010, the Company implemented its employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) and reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock for this purpose. Under the ESPP, qualified employees may purchase shares of common stock by payroll deduction at a 15% discount from the market price. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, 154,842 and 252,883 shares of common stock were issued under the ESPP. As of June 30, 2011, 1,667,222 shares of common stock were available for distribution under the ESPP. The Company recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $290,000 and $424,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011.

Note R. Shareholders Rights Agreement

On January 6, 2011, the Company entered into a stockholder rights agreement (the “Rights Agreement”). The Rights Agreement provides for a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The Company’s board of directors adopted the Rights Agreement to protect the Company’s ability to use its net operating losses and certain other tax attributes (“NOLs”) for federal and state income tax purposes. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Company may utilize the NOLs in certain circumstances to offset current and future earnings and thus reduce its federal income tax liability, subject to certain requirements and restrictions. If the Company experiences an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Code, its ability to use the NOLs could be substantially limited or lost altogether. In general terms, the Rights Agreement is intended to act as a deterrent to any person or group that acquires 4.99% or more of the Company’s common stock without approval of the Company’s board of directors by allowing other stockholders to acquire equity securities of the Company at half of their fair value. The Rights Plan will continue in effect until January 6, 2014, unless it is terminated or redeemed earlier by the Company’s board of directors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, receivable reserves, inventory reserves, intangible assets, contract losses, warranty reserves and income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the

Table of Contents

carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting estimates were discussed with our Audit Committee.

The significant accounting policies that management believes are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from product sales when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery of the product to the customer has occurred and we have determined that collection of the fee is probable. Title to the product passes upon shipment of the product, as the products are typically shipped FOB shipping point, except for certain foreign shipments. If the product requires installation to be performed by us, all revenue related to the product is deferred and recognized upon the completion of the installation. If the product requires specific customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance occurs or the acceptance provisions lapse, unless we can objectively and reliably demonstrate that the criteria specified in the acceptance provisions are satisfied. When appropriate, we provide for a warranty reserve at the time the product revenue is recognized. If a contract involves the provision of multiple elements and the elements qualify for separation, total estimated contract revenue is allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of each element provided. The amount of revenue allocated to each element is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of another element in the future. Revenue is recognized on each element as described above.

Cost of product revenue includes material, labor and overhead.

Deferred revenue consists of payments received from customers in advance of services performed, product shipped or installation completed. When an item is deferred for revenue recognition purposes, the deferred revenue is recorded as a liability and the deferred costs are recorded as a component of inventory in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue also consists of cash received for extended product warranties.

Unbilled contract costs and fees represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed due to contractual provisions or deferred costs that have not yet been recognized as revenue or billed to the customer.

Contract Losses

When the current estimates of total contract revenue for a customer order indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 we recorded a contract loss on a customer order of approximately $1.1 million. In addition, we incurred approximately $4.0 million of costs related to product development. At June 30, 2011 the accrued contract costs were approximately $2.3 million.

Accounts Receivable

Inventory

We value our inventory at the lower of actual cost to purchase and/or manufacture the inventory or the current estimated market value of the inventory, and costs are determined based on the first-in, first-out method of accounting and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. We periodically review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and/or obsolete inventory within cost of product revenue based primarily on our historical usage, as well as based on estimated forecast of product demand. A significant decrease in demand for our products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases and an increase of excess inventory quantities on hand. In addition, our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product development, and rapid product obsolescence that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand. Therefore, although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and our reported operating results.

Warranty

We offer warranty coverage for our products for period of 5 years after shipment. We estimate the anticipated costs of repairing products under warranty based on the historical or expected cost of the repairs and expected failure rates. The assumptions used to estimate warranty accruals are re-evaluated quarterly, at a minimum, in light of actual experience and, when appropriate, the accruals or the accrual percentage is adjusted based on specific estimates of project repair costs and quantity of product returns. Our determination of the appropriate level of warranty accrual is based on estimates of the percentage of units affected and the repair costs. Estimated warranty costs are recorded at the time of sale of the related product, and are recorded within cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents

Warrant Liabilities

We determined the fair values of the investor warrants and placement agent warrants using valuation models we consider to be appropriate. Our stock price has the most significant influence on the fair value of the warrants. An increase in our common stock price would cause the fair values of warrants to increase, because the exercise prices of such instruments are fixed at $1.815 per share, and result in a charge to our statement of operations. A decrease in our stock price would likewise cause the fair value of the warrants to decrease and result in a credit to our statement of operations.

Income Taxes

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including those outside the United States, which may be subject to certain risks that ordinarily would not be expected in the United States. The income tax accounting process involves estimating our actual current exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. We must then record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of approximately $59.8 million as of December 31, 2010, due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize these assets. The valuation allowance is based on our estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods we may need to adjust our valuation allowance which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.

We account for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method for accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. In addition, we are required to establish a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The tax years 1996 through 2010 remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject, which are primarily in the United States, as carry forward attributes generated in years past may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities if they are or will be used in a future period. We are currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction for any tax years. We did not recognize any interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. We would record any such interest and penalties as a component of interest expense. We do not expect any material changes to the unrecognized benefits within 12 months of the reporting date.

Subordinated Convertible Notes

The subordinated convertible notes include features that qualify as embedded derivatives, such as (i) the holder’s right to convert, (ii) our option to force conversion into shares of common stock of the Company, and (iii) the holder’s prepayment options. We have elected to measure the subordinated convertible notes and the embedded derivatives in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either gain or loss. This election was made by us after concluding that several of the derivatives cannot be reliably measured nor reliably associated with another derivative that can be reliably measured and determining that the aggregate fair value of the notes to be more meaningful in the context of our financial statements than if separate fair values were assigned to each of the multiple embedded instruments contained such notes.

Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock

We initially accounted for our Series B Preferred Stock and associated warrants by allocating the proceeds received net of transaction costs based on the relative fair value of the redeemable convertible Series B Preferred Stock and the warrants issued to the investors, and then to any beneficial conversion rights contained in the convertible redeemable preferred securities. We determined the initial value of the Series B Preferred Stock and investor warrants using valuation models we consider to be appropriate. Prior to its conversion in October 2010, the Series B Preferred Stock had been classified within the liability section of our balance sheet.

Table of Contents

Redeemable Convertible Series C Preferred Stock

Prior to the conversion of all the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock in October 2010, we initially accounted for the issuance of our Series C Preferred Stock and associated warrants by allocating the proceeds received net of transaction costs based on the relative fair value of the redeemable convertible Series C Preferred Stock and the warrants issued to the investors, and then to any beneficial conversion rights contained in the convertible redeemable preferred securities and classifying the Series C Preferred Stock as temporary equity on the balance sheet between the captions for liabilities and permanent shareholder’s equity. We determined the initial value of the Series C Preferred Stock and investor warrants using valuation models we consider to be appropriate.

The re-pricing of the exercise price of the warrants issued in the first closing of the Series C Preferred Stock financing from $1.44 to $1.25, as described in Note L to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, was treated as a cancellation of the original warrants issued on November 8, 2007 and a re-issuance or new warrants on December 21, 2007. The difference in fair value of the warrant was included in the allocation of net proceeds associated with the second closing of the Series C Preferred Stock on December 21, 2007. We treated this as a deemed dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock. Prior to the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock in October 2010, we were using the effective interest method to accrete the carrying value of the Series C Preferred stock through November 8, 2011 (the earliest possible redemption date), at which time the value of the Series C Preferred Stock would have been $30.0 million, 120% of its face value.

Recent Developments

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On April 22, 2011, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended to date, the “Amended Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”), as administrative agent, issuing lender and swingline lender, and such other lenders as set forth from time to time in the Amended Loan Agreement. The Amended Loan Agreement amended and restated our existing loan agreement, and provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $35 million. In addition, we may make a one-time request for an additional $15 million to increase the credit facility to an aggregate of $50 million, subject to the approval of the lending group.

Total outstanding debt under the Amended Loan Agreement may not exceed (a) the sum of (1) 80% of the book value of eligible accounts (other than those accounts payable in Euros or Canadian dollars), plus (2) 70% of the book value of eligible accounts payable in Euros or Canadian dollars, plus (3) 80% of the eligible foreign accounts, plus (4) 70% of the eligible Chinese accounts, plus (5) the lesser of (i) 60% of the cost of eligible inventory or (ii) the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, as adjusted pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, less (b) the amount of any reserves established by the Bank.

The Amended Loan Agreement contains restrictions regarding the incurrence of additional indebtedness by us or our subsidiaries, the ability to enter into various fundamental changes (such as mergers and acquisitions), the ability to make certain payments or investments, and other limitations customary in senior secured credit facilities. In addition, we must comply with certain financial conditions if its liquidity (defined as cash on deposit with the Bank plus availability under the Amended Loan Agreement) is less than $15 million.

Borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement are permitted to be used for refinancing the amounts outstanding under the existing loan agreement with the Bank, to repay certain fees and expenses, and for ongoing working capital and general corporate purposes. Interest on outstanding indebtedness under the Amended Loan Agreement will accrue at an annual rate equal to (a) the higher of (i) the prime rate and (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus one-half of one percent (0.5%) plus (b) the applicable margin. The initial applicable margin is 0.75%, and is subject to adjustment based on our liquidity in each fiscal quarter such that, if our liquidity is above $35 million, then the applicable margin is reduced to 0.25%.

Our obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement are secured under various collateral documents by first priority liens on substantially all of our assets and the assets of certain of our subsidiaries.

related documents, defaults on other indebtedness in excess of $200,000, the occurrence of a change of control of the company, and certain other events. Upon an event of default, the Bank may accelerate maturity of the loans and enforce remedies under the Amended Loan Agreement and related documents.

The Amended Loan Agreement, if not sooner terminated in accordance with its terms, originally expired on April 23, 2014. On June 30, 2011, in conjunction with our subordinated convertible note financing discussed below, the Amended Loan Agreement was amended to expire on April 23, 2013.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had $35.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Amended Loan Agreement. The rate used was the Bank’s prime rate of 3.5% plus 0.50% (or 4.0% at June 30, 2011) and the Bank’s prime rate of 4.0% plus 0.50% (or 4.5% at December 31, 2010). At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with the liquidity and Adjusted EBITDA covenant requirements of the Amended Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2011 we had $0 available under the line of credit.

June 2011 Subordinated Convertible Note Financing

On June 29, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchaser named therein (the “Purchaser”) in connection with the private placement of $16.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured, subordinated convertible notes (the “Notes”). The private placement closed on June 30, 2011. The Purchase Agreement provided for the issuance and sale of the Notes to the Purchaser for aggregate gross proceeds of $16.0 million. The Purchase Agreement contains agreements and covenants between us and the Purchaser, including that:

· we will not issue, offer or sell any equity securities, including convertible securities, subject to certain exceptions, until the date that is 30 days following the earlier of (i) the effectiveness of this registration statement covering the shares underlying the Notes and (ii) the six month anniversary of the closing date of the issuance and sale of the Notes;

· we will not file a registration statement relating to any of our securities (other than the common stock underlying the Notes), until the date that is 30 days following the earlier of (i) the effectiveness of this registration statement covering the shares underlying the Notes and (ii) the six month anniversary of the closing date of the issuance and sale of the Notes (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4);

· for so long as the Notes are outstanding, we will not redeem or declare or pay any dividends on, any of our securities without consent of the holder of the Notes;

· for so long as the Notes are outstanding, we will timely file all reports required to be filed by us with the SEC;

· we will maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other eligible market; and

· for so long as the Notes are outstanding, we will not effect any stock combinations, reverse stock splits or similar transactions with prior written consent of the holder of the Notes.

The Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $16.0 million and are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.92, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, distributions of assets or evidence of indebtedness, mergers, consolidations, sales of all or substantially all assets, tender offers, exchange offers, reclassifications or compulsory share exchanges. In addition, the conversion price will be adjusted, on the eleventh trading day following the public announcement of our financial results for the quarter ending September 30, 2011 (the “Adjustment Date”), to the lower of (i) the then effective conversion price and (ii) 110% of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date. The Notes are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of our common stock at any time at the then applicable conversion price.

The Notes mature on July 1, 2013, and bear interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum. Interest is payable monthly, beginning on November 1, 2011, and may be made in cash or, at our option if certain equity conditions are satisfied, in shares of our common stock. If interest is paid in shares of our common stock, the price per share will be at the lower of (i) the then current conversion price and (ii) 88% of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the payment date.

If at any time following the Adjustment Date, the closing sale price of our common stock exceeds 175% of the conversion price for 30 consecutive trading days, then, if certain equity conditions are satisfied, we may require the holders of the Notes to convert all or any part of the outstanding principal into shares of common stock at the then applicable conversion price, provided that

we may only make a one-time election to force conversion. The Notes contain certain limitations on optional and mandatory conversion, including that, absent stockholder approval of the transaction, We will not issue shares of common stock under the Notes in excess of 19.99% of our outstanding shares on the closing date.

The Notes contain certain covenants and restrictions, including, among others, that, for so long as the Notes are outstanding, we will not incur any indebtedness that is senior to, or on parity with, the Notes in right of payment, subject to limited exceptions for existing indebtedness. Events of default under the Notes include, among others, payments defaults, cross-defaults, our common stock is suspended from trading for a period of time or no longer listed on an eligible trading market, and certain bankruptcy-type events involving our company or any of our subsidiaries. Upon an event of default, the holders of the Notes may elect to require us to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes for a price equal to the greater of 120% of (i) the amount to be redeemed (as calculated through the redemption date) and (ii) the product of (A) the conversion rate with respect to such amount in effect at such time as the holders deliver a redemption notice and (B) the greatest closing sale price of our common stock on any trading day during the period starting on the date immediately preceding the event of default and ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date we are required to pay the redemption amount. The holders may elect to require us to redeem for cash all or any portion of the outstanding principal on the Notes in connection with a change of control of our company.

In addition, at any time after the 60th day following the earlier to occur of (i) the first date on which the resale of common stock underlying the Notes is covered by one or more effective registration statements and (ii) the six month anniversary of the closing of the private placement, we may redeem all (but not less than all) of the then outstanding amount of the Notes in cash at a price equal to the greater of 125% of (i) the amount to be redeemed (as calculated through the redemption date) and (ii) the product of (A) the conversion rate with respect to such amount in effect at such time as we deliver a redemption notice and (B) the greatest closing sale price of our common stock on any trading day during the period starting on the date notice of redemption is given and ending on the date immediately prior to the redemption, provided that we may only deliver one such redemption notice.

We also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchaser pursuant to which we agreed to register the common stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of, or the payment of principal or interest on, the Notes. We agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act within 20 days of the closing of the private placement to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and as payment of principal or interest on the Notes, which we have completed. We agreed to use our reasonable best efforts (i) to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 70 days following the closing of the private placement (or 90 days if the registration statement is reviewed by the SEC), and the registration statement was declared effective on July 27, 2011, and (ii) to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (1) the date all of the securities covered by the registration statement have been sold and (2) the date all of the securities covered by the registration statement may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. If we fail to comply with these or certain other provisions, then we will be required to pay liquidated damages of 1% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes for the initial occurrence of such failure and for each subsequent 30 day period in which the failure continues.

In connection with the private placement, we amended certain outstanding warrants held by subordinated lenders to reduce the exercise price of those warrants from $2.43 to $2.00 per share, as discussed in Note I of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 (“2011”) Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 (“2010”)

Revenue. Total revenue for 2011 increased approximately $17.9 million, or 64.4%, from $27.6 million in 2010 to $45.5 million in 2011.

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,
(Amounts in Millions)	2011		2010		Change $		% Change
Product Revenue
Renewable Energy Solutions	$	45.5	$	27.6	$	17.9	64.7	%
Total Revenue	$	45.5	$	27.6	$	17.9	64.7	%

Renewable Energy Solutions revenue increased by approximately $17.9 million, or 64.7%, from approximately $27.6 million in 2010 to approximately $45.5 million in 2011 due to the continued adoption of our photovoltaic power conversion solutions and our continued growth in North America.

Gross Margin. Gross margin declined from 20.8% in 2010 to 8.0% in 2011. The decline in gross margin over the period of a year ago was primarily due to a reduction in market pricing, a contract loss related to a significant project and a $1.6 million charge for excess inventories.

Research and development expenses. We expended approximately $9.7 million on research and development in 2011 compared with $2.7 million spent in 2010. The increase in spending during 2011 was largely attributable to a $4.1 million one-time expense for research and development and charges associated with a new product line. The balance of the increase continues to be driven by a planned increase in costs associated with certification of our new products and increases to our technical staffing. These additional resources are developing the new products, features and customer solutions which we believe will allow us to take advantage of both short-term and long-term market opportunities. This investment in research and development is critical to both our current and future success.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $4.6 million, or 56%, from $8.3 million in 2010 to $12.9 million in 2011. Approximately $0.4 million of the increase is directly attributable to compensation costs related to the issuance of stock options to our employees and directors. Approximately $1.3 million of the increase was associated with increased corporate costs, $0.7 million of the increase was due to a bad debt provision and approximately $3.0 million of the increase was due to the higher sales and marketing costs, which are directly related to international business expansion and our continued marketing efforts.

Restructuring costs. In 2011, we eliminated certain positions across the organization in accordance with a plan of reorganization approved by the senior management. As a result we recorded approximately $1.1 million in payroll and related costs for 2011. As of June 30, 2011, approximately $1.0 million remains outstanding to be paid. None of the terminated employees were required to provide services subsequent to their receiving notification of termination. In 2010, we eliminated certain positions within our operations and sales organizations in accordance with a plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Directors. As a result we recorded approximately $0.8 million in payroll and related costs for 2010. As of June 30, 2011 all amounts have been paid to the terminated employees. None of the terminated employees were required to provide any services subsequent to their receiving notification of termination.

Change in fair value of subordinated notes and warrant liabilities. The change in fair value of subordinated convertible notes and warrants for 2011 was a credit of approximately $1.0 million. The change in fair value of the subordinated convertible notes and warrants consists primarily of a credit related to the change in valuation of our Warrant As, Warrant Cs and placement agent warrants of $1.4 million and a charge of $0.4 million related to our Subordinated Convertible Notes. The change in fair value of the warrants for 2010 was a charge of approximately $0.9 million. This charge related to the change in valuation of our Warrant As and Warrant Cs and placement agent warrants in 2010.

Other income (expense). Other expense was approximately $0.3 million for 2011 compared to other expense of approximately $0.3 million for 2010. Other expense for 2011 consists primarily of $0.2 million of foreign currency translation losses, as well as other expenses not related to ongoing operations offset by other income not related to operations. Other expense for 2010 consists primarily of $0.3 million of foreign currency translation losses as well as other expenses not related to ongoing operations offset by other income not related to operations.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased in 2011 to $2.0 million as compared to $0.2 million for 2010. Interest expense for 2011 includes approximately $1.1 million in transaction costs related to our subordinated convertible notes, $0.5 million related to our subordinated debt and $0.4 million related to our line of credit. Interest expense for 2010 includes approximately $0.2 million in interest related to our line of credit balance outstanding during the period and an immaterial amount of non-cash dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock, which we have paid in shares of our common stock.

Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue was approximately $27.9 million at June 30, 2011 as compared to $19.7 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $8.2 million. We record deferred revenue (i) when a customer is invoiced or pays in advance or (ii) when provisions for revenue recognition on items shipped have not been achieved or the items have not yet been received by the customer due to shipping terms such as FOB destination. When an item is deferred for revenue recognition purposes, the deferred revenue is recorded as a liability and the deferred costs are recorded as a component of inventory in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue also consists of cash received for extended product warranties. Currently deferred revenue is composed of approximately $10.1 million related to pre-payments on orders currently being manufactured and $17.8 million on deferred revenue related to extended warranties sold to customers that purchased our products.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 (“2010 Period”) Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 (“2009 Period”)

Revenue. Total revenue for 2011 was $107.5 million, an increase of approximately $65.1 million, or 153.8%, from $42.4 million in 2010.

Other Legacy	—		0.1		(0.1		)	-100	%
Total Product Revenue	$	107.5	$	42.4	$	65.1		153.8	%

Renewable Energy Solutions revenue increased by approximately $65.2 million, or 154.1%, from approximately $42.3 million in 2010 to approximately $107.5 million in 2011 due to the continued adoption of our photovoltaic power conversion solutions and our continued growth in North America and Asia.

Gross Margin. Gross margin declined from 18.3% in 2010 to 17.2% in 2011. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to a reduction in market pricing, cost overruns related to a significant project and a $1.6 million charge for excess inventories. This is partially offset by our continued material cost reduction programs, and the successful transfer of a significant portion of our manufacturing to our contract manufacturer.

Research and development expenses. We expended approximately $15.9 million on research and development in 2011 compared with $5.4 million spent in 2010. The increase in spending during 2011 was largely attributable to a $4.1 million one-time expense for research and development and charges associated with a new product line The balance of the increase was driven by a planned increase in costs associated with certification of our new products and continued new product development, including increases in our technical staffing. These additional resources are developing the new products, features and customer solutions which we believe will allow us to take advantage of both short-term and long-term market opportunities. This investment in research and development is critical to both our current and future success.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $9.3 million, or 66.8%, from $13.9 million in 2010 to $23.1 million in 2011. Approximately $0.7 million of the increase is directly attributable to compensation costs related to the issuance of stock options to our employees and directors. Approximately $2.0 million of the increase was related to higher legal and general corporate costs in 2011 as compared to 2010. In addition, approximately $6.5 million of the increase was due to the higher sales and marketing costs directly related to international business development and sales expansion in Europe and Asia, company re-branding and our increased outbound marketing efforts and increased provisions for potentially uncollectible accounts in 2011 compared to 2010.

None of the terminated employees were required to provide services subsequent to their receiving notification of termination. In 2010, we eliminated certain positions within our operations and sales organizations in accordance with a plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Directors. As a result we recorded approximately $0.8 million in payroll and related costs for 2010. As of June 30, 2011 all amounts have been paid to the terminated employees. None of the terminated employees were required to provide any services subsequent to their receiving notification of termination.

Change in fair value of subordinated convertible notes and warrant liabilities. The change in fair value of the subordinated convertible notes and warrants for 2011 was a credit of approximately $1.1 million. The change in fair value of the subordinated convertible notes and warrants consists primarily of a credit related to the change in valuation of our Warrant As, Warrant Cs and placement agent warrants in of $1.5 million and a charge of $0.4 million related to our Subordinated Convertible Notes. The change in fair value of the warrants for 2010 was a credit of approximately $0.2 million. This credit related to the change in valuation of our Warrant As, Warrant Cs and placement agent warrants in 2010.

Other Income (expense). Other expense was approximately $0.5 million for 2011 compared to other income of approximately $0.3 million for 2010. Other expense for 2011 consists primarily of $0.2 million of foreign currency translation as well as expenses not related to ongoing operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately $28.4 million of cash.

Based upon our current working capital position, current operating plans and expected business conditions, we believe that our current cash and our asset based financing options will be adequate to fund our operations through June 30, 2012. Beyond 2011, we expect to fund our working capital needs and other commitments primarily through our operating cash flow, which we expect to improve as our product costs continue to decrease and our unit volumes continue to grow. We also expect to use our credit facility to fund a portion of our capital needs and other commitments. We have availability under our line of credit of $7.1 million as of July 31, 2011. See “Recent Developments” for the amendment to the Credit Agreement and a description of the $16 million subordinated convertible note financing.

Our funding plans for our working capital needs and other commitments may be adversely impacted if we fail to realize our underlying assumed levels of revenues and expenses, or if we fail to remain in compliance with the covenants of our bank line, subordinated debt or subordinated convertible notes. If any of these events were to occur, we may need to raise additional funds in order to sustain operations by selling equity or taking other actions to conserve our cash position, which could include selling of certain assets, delaying capital expenditures and incurring additional indebtedness, subject to the restrictions in the credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank and the subordinated convertible notes. Such actions would likely require the consent of Silicon Valley Bank, the lender of our subordinated debt and/or the holder of our subordinated convertible notes, and there can be no assurance that such consents would be given. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds if they are required.

If additional funds are raised in the future through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced and our stockholders will experience additional dilution. The terms of additional funding may also limit our operating and financial flexibility. There can be no assurance that additional financing of any kind will be available to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Failure to obtain future funding when needed or on acceptable terms would materially, adversely affect our results of operations.

We have incurred significant costs to develop our technologies and products. These costs have exceeded total revenue. As a result, we have incurred losses in each of the past five years. As of June 30, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $266.8million. Since inception, we have financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements primarily through the sale of private equity securities and convertible debt, public security offerings, borrowings under our lines of credit and capital equipment leases.

As of June 30, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents were $28.4 million; this represents a decrease in our cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.7 million from the $30.1 million on hand at December 31, 2010.

Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $33.0million as compared to $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to the net loss of approximately $23.4 million, a general increase in working capital, offset by non-cash items such as the change in the fair value of our warrants, depreciation and amortization, deferred revenue, increases in allowances for uncollectible accounts and excess and obsolete inventory, non-cash compensation and consulting expense, accrued contract losses and non-cash interest expense.

Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $5.7 million as compared to cash used in investing activities from continuing operations of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Cash used in investing activities for 2011 and 2010 was for capital expenditures.

Cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $37.0 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations of $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations during 2011 primarily related to the proceeds of our borrowings under our line of credit of $20.0 million, approximately $14.9 million in net proceeds from the June 2011 subordinated debt, approximately $1.2 million from the exercise of employee stock options and employee participation in the employee stock purchase plan, approximately $1.6 million related to the exercise of warrants. Net cash provided by financing activities during 2010 was primarily related to the proceeds of our borrowings under our line of credit of $6.4million, approximately $11.8 million in proceeds from the June 2010 subordinated debt, approximately $1.1 million from the exercise of employee stock options and approximately $1.6 million related to the exercise of warrants.

Cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations was approximately $62,000 for 2010. Cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations for 2010 was $0.7 million. Cash provided by investing activities for 2010 was from

net proceeds of the sale of the Applied Technology division. There was no cash provided by or used in operating activities from discontinued operations or investing activities from discontinued operations for 2011.

Payments Due Under Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the payments due under our contractual obligations at June 30, 2011, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

We lease equipment and office space under non-cancelable capital and operating leases. In June 2010 we entered into a $12.0 million subordinated debt agreement. In addition, in June 2011 we entered into a $16.0 million convertible note agreement. The future minimum principal and interest payments under the subordinated debt agreement, the convertible notes and the future minimum rental payments as of June 30, 2011 are included in the table above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following discussion about our market risk disclosures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” above in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates primarily through our investing and financing activities. In addition, our ability to fund working capital requirements may be impacted if we are not able to obtain appropriate financing at acceptable rates.

To manage interest rage exposure our strategy is to invest in short-term, highly liquid investments. Our investment policy also requires investment in approved instruments with an initial maximum allowable maturity of twelve months. Currently, our short-term investments are in money market funds with original maturities of 90 days or less. At June 30, 2011, our short-term investments approximated market value.

At June 30, 2011 we had a revolving line-of-credit available to us of up to $35.0 million, of which $35.0 million was outstanding. Our revolving line-of-credit bears an interest rate of the Bank’s prime rate plus 0.5% per annum, which resulted in a rate of 4.0% at June 30, 2011.

The effect of interest rate fluctuations on outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2011 over the next twelve months is quantified and summarized as follows:

	Interest Expense
	Increase
Interest rates increase by 100 basis points	$	350,000
Interest rates increase by 200 basis points	$	700,000

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Risk

We face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates whenever we, or any of our subsidiaries, enter into transactions with third parties that are denominated in currencies other than ours, or its, functional currency. Intercompany transactions between entities that use different functional currencies also expose us to foreign currency risk. During the period ended June 30, 2011, the net impact of foreign currency changes on transactions was a loss of $0.2. We have not historically used a significant amount of derivative financial instruments or other financial instruments to hedge such economic exposures.

The Company uses foreign currency contracts to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated receivables. The Company primarily hedges foreign currency exposure to the Euro. The Company does not engage in trading, market making or speculative activities in the derivatives markets. The foreign currency contracts utilized by the Company do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and as a result, any fluctuations in the value of these foreign currency contracts are recognized in other loss (income) in our consolidated statements of operations as incurred. The fluctuations in the value of these foreign currency contracts do, however, largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk that they are intended to economically hedge. As of April 18, 2011, the Company entered into a foreign currency hedge with a bank with a notational amount of approximately $1.6 million, maturing on July 18, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011. The conclusions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer from this evaluation were communicated to the Audit Committee. We intend to continue to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

There have been no material changes or additions to the legal proceedings disclosed in Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 except as follows:

Class Action Litigation. In July 2011, two purported securities class action complaints were filed against us, our Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer by the following plaintiffs, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts: Allan Edwards (filed July 19, 2011) and Larry Ziegler (filed July 21, 2011). The virtually identical complaints are purportedly brought on behalf of persons who acquired our common stock during the period of March 4, 2010, through July 5, 2011, and allege claims against all defendants for violations under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, as well as claims against the individual defendants for violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Putative plaintiffs claim that the defendants caused our common stock to trade at artificially inflated prices through false and misleading statements and/or omissions related to our business. The complaints seek compensatory damages for all damages sustained as a result of the defendants’ actions, including reasonable costs and expenses, and other relief as the court may deem just and proper. We believe these allegations are baseless and we intend to defend against them vigorously.

Shareholder Derivative Litigation. On August 2, 2011, a shareholder derivative action was brought by plaintiff purportedly on behalf of our company against several of our senior officers and directors, in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleges that the officer and director defendants breached their fiduciary duties by providing allegedly misleading and inaccurate information regarding our business. The shareholder derivative action generally seeks compensatory damages for all alleged losses sustained as a result of the individual defendants’ actions, including reasonable costs and expenses, and other relief as the court may deem just and proper. We believe that these allegations are baseless and we intend to defend against them vigorously

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, except for the following:

Substantial leverage and debt service obligations may adversely affect our cash flows.

In connection with the sale of our subordinated convertible notes in June 2011, we incurred new indebtedness of $16 million. As a result, as of June 30, 2011, we had an aggregate of approximately $62.4 million of outstanding debt under our existing senior credit facility, existing subordinated loan and the June 2011 subordinated convertible notes. The degree to which we are leveraged could, among other things:

· require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our future cash flows from operations and other capital resources to debt service, to the extent we are unable to make payments of principal or interest on the subordinated convertible notes in common stock, due to, among other things failure to satisfy the equity conditions that must be met to enable us to do so;

· make it difficult for us to obtain necessary financing in the future for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes on favorable terms, if at all;

· make it more difficult for us to be acquired;

· make us more vulnerable to industry downturns and competitive pressures; and

· limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes in, our business.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend upon our future performance, which will be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control.

We could be required to make substantial cash payments upon an event of default or change of control under our subordinated convertible notes.

Our subordinated convertible notes provide for events of default including, among others, payment defaults, cross-defaults, breaches of any representation, warranty or covenant that is not cured within the proper time periods, failure to perform certain

required activities in a timely manner, our common stock no longer being listed on an eligible market and certain bankruptcy-type events involving us or any significant subsidiary. Upon an event of default, the holders of the subordinated convertible notes may elect to require us to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of such notes at a price equal to the greater of 120% of (i) such outstanding principal amount, plus all accrued but unpaid interest or (ii) the then value of the underlying common stock.

In addition, under the terms of the subordinated convertible notes, upon a change of control of our company, the holders of such notes may elect to require us to redeem the notes at a price equal to the greater of 120% of (i) such outstanding principal amount, plus all accrued but unpaid interest or (ii) the then value of the consideration to be received in connection with the change of control.

If either an event of default or change of control occurs, our available cash could be seriously depleted and our ability to fund operations could be materially harmed.

We are responsible for maintaining the registration of the resale of shares of common stock underlying the subordinated convertible notes issued in our June 2011 private placement and will incur liquidated damages if we do not fulfill this obligation..

Pursuant to our agreement with the investor in the June 2011 private placement, we were obligated to file a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock underlying the securities issued in the private placement with the SEC and to use our reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective, which we completed. We are also obligated to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date all of the securities covered by the registration statement may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and (ii) the date all of the securities covered by the registration statement have been sold. If we fail to comply with these or certain other provisions, then we will be required to pay liquidated damages of 1% of the then outstanding principal amount of the subordinated convertible notes held by the investor for the initial occurrence of such failure and for each subsequent 30 day period the failure continues. Any such payments could materially affect our ability to fund operations.

The agreements governing the subordinated convertible notes contain various covenants and restrictions which may limit our ability to operate our business.

The agreements governing the subordinated convertible notes contain various covenants and restrictions, including, among others that (i) until the date that is 30 days following the earlier of (x) the effectiveness of this registration statement covering the shares underlying the Notes and (y) the six month anniversary of the closing date of the issuance and sale of the Notes, we will not issue, offer or sell any equity securities of the Company, including convertible securities, subject to certain exceptions; and (ii) for so long as the Notes are outstanding, we will not incur any indebtedness that is senior to, or on parity with, the Notes in right of payment, subject to limited exceptions for existing indebtedness. These restrictions could limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions or meet extraordinary capital needs or otherwise restrict corporate activities, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business. See “Private Placement of Notes” for a detailed description of the notes.

We have been named as a party to purported class action lawsuits and a purported shareholder derivative action, and we may be named in additional litigation, all of which could require significant management time and attention and result in significant legal expenses. An unfavorable outcome in one or more of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

As described in Item 1. “Legal Proceedings” of Part II of this report, purported class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, in July 2011, alleging, among other things, that our company and certain of our officers violated the federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements. In addition, a purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, in August 2011 against certain of our officers and directors based on allegations substantially similar to those set forth in the purported class actions. Regardless of the merits, the expense of defending such litigation may have a substantial impact if our insurance carriers fail to cover the cost of the litigation, and the time required to defend the actions could divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, an unfavorable outcome in such litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.
