Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and currently has an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent on its ability to increase sales to a level that will allow it to operate profitably and sustain positive operating cash flows. Since the beginning of the year the Company has successfully raised over $3 million in gross proceeds through the private placement of equity and $1 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of a secured convertible term note, however, there is no assurance that this amount will be sufficient to fund operations until sales improve to the point that the Company is able to operate from internally generated cash flows. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 2 — Stock-based Compensation

At September 30, 2003, the Company had a stock-based compensation plan, which is more fully described in Note 17 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB as filed on March 31, 2003. The Company applies and intends to continue to apply the recognition and intrinsic value measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations in accounting for those plans. No stock-based compensation expense was reflected in the net loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 or September 30, 2002, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. The following table illustrates the effect on the net loss and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based compensation:

Note 3 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company completed transitional impairment testing of intangible assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The impairment testing was performed in two steps: first, determining whether there was an impairment, based upon the fair value of a reporting unit as compared to its carrying value, and second, if there was an impairment, the determination of the impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Using conservative but realistic assumptions to model its power management business and building control and automation business, the Company determined that the carrying value of the power management business was greater than the derived fair value, indicating an impairment in the recorded goodwill. To determine fair value, the Company relied on a discounted cash flow analysis. For goodwill valuation purposes only, the revised fair value of this unit was allocated to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit to arrive at an implied fair value of goodwill, based upon known facts and circumstances, as if the acquisition occurred currently. The preliminary allocation resulted in a write-down of recorded goodwill in the amount of $4,103,872, which was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle during the first half of 2002

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 requires that certain financial instruments, which under previous guidance were accounted for as equity, must now be accounted for as liabilities. The financial instruments affected include mandatory redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS No. 150 is generally effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached consensus on EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, which addresses how to account for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. The final consensus of EITF 00-21 was applicable to agreements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003, with early adoption permitted. Additionally, companies were permitted to apply the consensus guidance to all existing arrangements as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in accordance with APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes.” The adoption of EITF No. 00-21 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Note 4 — Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes loss per share under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 “Earnings Per Share,” which requires presentation of two amounts: basic and diluted loss per common share. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding, and includes all common stock issued. Diluted earnings would include all common stock equivalents. The Company has not included the outstanding options, warrants or shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock as common stock equivalents in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 because the effect would be antidilutive.

Note 5 — Warranty Obligations

The Company warrants to the purchasers of its EnergySaver line of products that the product will be free of defects in material and workmanship for one year from the date of installation. The Company records the estimated cost that may be incurred under its warranties at the time the product revenue is recognized based upon the relationship between historical and anticipated warranty costs and sales volumes. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. While the Company believes that its estimated liability for product warranties is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, the estimated liability for product warranties could differ materially from actual future warranty costs. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability are as follows:

                                 
    Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended

Note 8 — Business Segment Information

The Company organizes and manages its business in two distinct segments: the Energy Technology segment, and the Building Control and Automation segment. In classifying its operational entities into a particular segment, the Company segregated its businesses with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, customers, and methods of distribution into distinct operating groups.

The Energy Technology segment designs, manufacturers and markets energy saving technologies, primarily to commercial and industrial customers. The principal products produced by this segment are the EnergySaver and the Global Commander. This segment is headquartered, and most of its operations are located, in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.

The Building Control and Automation segment, which is comprised of our Great Lakes Controlled Energy subsidiary, provides integration of building and environmental control systems for commercial and industrial customers. Great Lakes Controlled Energy is headquartered in, and operates out of its own facility, located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.

Prior to fiscal year 2003, the Company’s reportable segments included the Power Management segment, which designed, manufactured and marketed a wide range of commercial and industrial switching gear and distribution panels. Effective May 31, 2003, the Company divested this segment, accordingly, the net assets and operating results have been separately reported as discontinued operations. Prior year segment information has been restated to reflect corporate costs previously allocated to the Power Management segment, which will continue despite the divestiture of the segment.

The dividends were paid on March 31, 2003 in additional shares of preferred stock to the holders as follows: 54,280 shares to the Series A stockholders and 5,291 shares to the Series C stockholder. Each share of Series A, and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of our common stock.

On June 27, 2003, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a group of investors that included Cinergy Ventures II, LLC, Mr. Richard Kiphart, SF Capital Partners, John Thomas Hurvis Revocable Trust and Mr. David Asplund, whereby it issued in exchange for $1,500,000 in gross proceeds, a package of securities that included 150,000 shares of its Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, 22,562 shares of its common stock, warrants to purchase 37,500 additional shares of its Series D Preferred and warrants to purchase 210,938 additional shares of its common stock (the “Transaction”).

The Series D Convertible Preferred carries a dividend rate of 10% per year, which is payable during the first three years following issuance at the Company’s option, in cash or additional shares of Series D Convertible Preferred stock. After three years all dividends must be paid in cash and the dividend rate will increase 1/2% every six months until it reaches 15% per year.

The Series D Convertible Preferred is convertible at anytime into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion rate of ten shares of common stock for each share of Series D Convertible Preferred. Shares of Series D Convertible Preferred have, subject to certain exceptions, anti-dilution protection that will automatically adjust the conversion price of the Series D Preferred to the price per share of any common stock the Company issues, or is deemed to have issued, if that price per share is less than the then existing conversion price for the Series D Convertible Preferred. The Series D Convertible Preferred is also subject to other customary anti-dilution provisions with respect to stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, special distributions, sales of all or substantially all of our assets and similar events.

The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock possesses a liquidation preference over all other classes of the Company’s equity, other than the Series A and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, the holders of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, in conjunction with the holders of the Series A and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, have special approval rights over certain matters, including but not limited to, mergers and acquisitions, the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, the sale of assets outside the normal course of business, the payment of dividends, the hiring or firing of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or President, significant capital expenditures, and amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and/or by-laws that in any way could adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Series A, Series C and/or Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

For accounting purposes, proceeds from the Transaction were allocated to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, the common stock and warrants issued as part of the Transaction based on their relative fair values. The difference between the value allocated to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issue, in addition to the value of the stock and warrants issued as part of the Transaction were deemed to be equivalent to a non-cash preferred stock dividend. The Company recorded the deemed dividend on the date of issuance by offsetting charges and credits to additional paid-in capital in the amount of $386,983, without any effect on total stockholders equity. The deemed dividend increases the loss applicable to common shareholders in the calculation of the basic and diluted net loss per common share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003.

On June 30, 2003, the Board of Directors declared dividends payable on our Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2003 to shareholders of record of our Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2003. The dividends were paid on June 30, 2003 in additional shares of preferred stock to the holders as follows: 55,638 shares to the Series A stockholders, 5,423 shares to the Series C stockholder and 166 shares to the Series D stockholders. Each share of Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of our common stock.

During August 2003, the holder of a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share elected to exercised the warrant in full.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company issued warrants to purchase a total of 572,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to consultants as compensation for services received. These warrants have exercise prices ranging from $1.00 per share to $2.00 per share and have a terms of one to three years. The warrants were valued at $357,100 using a modified Black-Sholes option pricing model and were charged to operations during the period.

On September 24, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors declared dividends payable on the Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock for the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2003 to shareholders of record of the Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2003. The dividends were paid on September 30, 2003 in additional shares of preferred stock to the holders as follows: 57,027 shares to the Series A stockholders, 5,559 shares to the Series C stockholder and 3,755 shares to the Series D stockholders. Each share of Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Note 11 — Debt Issuances

The Company entered into a financing arrangement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. as of September 11, 2003, providing for a $1,000,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility of up to $2,000,000.

The Term Loan has a term of two years and accrues interest at the greater of prime (currently 4.00%) plus 1.75% or 6%. Interest on the Term Loan will be due monthly in arrears and the loan will amortize at the rate of $50,000 per month beginning February 1, 2004. The Company has the option of paying scheduled interest and principal, or prepaying all or a portion of the Term Loan with shares of its common stock at the fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share (which was equal to 103% of the recent market price of our common stock at that time), provided that the closing price of the common stock is greater than $2.43 per share for the 11 trading days immediately proceeding the payment date and that the shares are registered with Securities and Exchange Commission. We have commenced (but not yet completed) the process of registration of shares of our common stock for such purpose. Laurus also has the option to convert all or a portion of the Term Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time, subject to certain limitations, at a fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share. The Term Loan is secured by a blanket lien on all of the Company’s assets, except for its real estate. In conjunction with the Term Loan, Laurus was paid a fee of $50,000 and received a five year warrant to purchase up to 140,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $2.44 per share to $3.07 per share. The warrants were valued at $163,400 using a modified Black-Sholes option pricing model. The value of these warrants was recorded as a discount to the term note and will be amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

The Term Loan is considered to have a beneficial conversion feature since the fair market value of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Term Loan exceeded the value allocated to the Term Loan on the date of issuance. On the date of issuance the Term Loan was convertible into 471,698 shares of common stock, which at the then current market price of $2.05 per share was worth $966,981. The difference between the market value of the shares issuable upon conversion and the value allocated to the Term Loan ($180,381) is considered to be the value of the beneficial conversion feature. The value of the beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a discount to the term note and will be amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

The revolving credit facility provides for borrowings of up to the lesser of (i) $2 million or (ii) 90% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable. The Company has not borrowed under the facility. As of September 30, 2003 eligible receivables would support borrowings of approximately $300,000 under the facility. The revolving credit facility also has a term of two years and accrues interest at the rate of prime (currently 4.00%) plus 1.75%. The Company has the option of paying interest and principal, or prepaying all or a portion of the advances under each secured convertible revolving note with shares of its common stock at the fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share, provided that the closing price of its common stock is greater than $2.43 per share for the 11 trading days immediately proceeding the payment date and that the shares are registered with Securities and Exchange Commission. (We are in the process of registering share of common stock for this purpose as well.) As amounts are drawn on this line-of-credit, to the extent the current market price exceeds the fixed conversion price, additional interest expense will be recognized for this beneficial conversion feature. In addition, Laurus has the option to convert all or a portion of the advances under any Secured Convertible Revolving Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time, subject to certain limitations, at a fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share. The revolving credit facility is also secured by a blanket lien on all of the Company’s assets, except for its real estate. In conjunction with the revolving credit facility, Laurus was paid a fee of $100,000 and received a five year warrant to purchase up to 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $2.54 per share to $3.18 per share. These warrants were valued at $320,000 using a modified Black-Sholes option pricing model. All stock conversion prices and exercise prices are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events.

All the fees and expenses associated with this transaction, as well as the value of the warrants associated with the revolving credit facility have been recorded as deferred financing costs. These costs will be amortized over the two- year term of the underlying credit agreements using the effective interest method.

The aggregate amounts of long-term debt maturing in each of the next five years are as follows:

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
    OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION

You should read the following discussion regarding the Company along with the Company’s financial statements and related notes included in this quarterly report. This quarterly report, including the following discussion, contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company’s actual results, performance and achievements in 2003 and beyond may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

Overview

We are a developer, manufacturer and integrator of energy savings technologies, and building automation systems as well as an independent developer of scalable, negative power systems. We currently market the EnergySaver™, the GlobalCommander® and LightMaster™ energy conservation technologies, as well as our independent development of scalable, negative power systems under the trade name, Virtual “Negawatt” Power Plan “VNPP”®. Electric City is based in Elk Grove Village, Illinois and is traded on The American Stock Exchange under the symbol ELC. Our premier energy saving product is the EnergySaver system, which reduces energy consumed by lighting, typically by 20% to 30%, with minimal reduction in lighting levels. This technology has applications in commercial buildings, factories and office structures, as well as street lighting and parking lot lighting. Combining the technologies of the EnergySaver and GlobalCommander led to the development of our Virtual “Negawatt” Power Plan concept, which is essentially a negative power system which we intend to market primarily to utilities as a demand response system. It is envisioned that the demand reduction will be specifically placed across a utility grid targeting potential “hot spots” such as particular feeders or substations. We believe that the Electric City VNPP will be the first demand response system to provide this level of control to a utility without requiring active customer participation and without impacting a customer’s operations or ability to do business. The VNPP can be developed in conjunction with a utility provider, a utility’s independent power subsidiary or with other sister companies within a utility family. In some markets, the VNPP can be developed completely at risk just as the industry has seen the development of independent power plants or with a long-term negative power purchase agreement with a utility. We recently entered into an agreement with Commonwealth Edison (“ComEd”) to develop the first 50-megawatt VNPP system, to be located in northern Illinois. We anticipate that we will have to install approximately 1,500 EnergySavers over the next 18 to 24 months to deliver the 50 megawatts of curtailment envisioned under this contract. In addition to our EnergySaver system, we design, install and monitor building control and environmental systems through our subsidiary Great Lakes Controlled Energy Corp. (“Great Lakes”).

Results of Operations

Our revenues reflect the sale of our products, net of allowances for returns and other adjustments. Revenues of Electric City and its subsidiary are generated from the sale of products and services, the vast majority of which are sold in the U.S.

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of materials and labor. Also included in our cost of goods sold are freight, charges from third parties for installation of our products, costs of operating our manufacturing facility, charges for potential future warranty claims, and royalty costs related to EnergySaver sales. Cost of goods sold also includes the wages and expenses of our engineering group at Great Lakes.

Sales and gross profits depend, in part, on the volume and mix of products sold during any given period. Generally, products that we manufacture have a higher gross profit margin than products that we purchase and resell.

Table of Contents

A portion of our operating expense is relatively fixed, such as the cost of our facilities. Accordingly, an increase in the volume of sales will generally result in an increase to our gross margins since these fixed expenses do not increase proportionately with sales. We have not consistently utilized the manufacturing capacity of our facility and, therefore, believe that the fixed nature of some of our expenses would contribute to an increase in our gross margin in future periods if sales volumes increase. In particular we believe that our facility in Elk Grove Village can support a sales level of EnergySaver products of approximately $15 million to $20 million per year without a significant further investment in fixed assets.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include the following components:

    direct labor and commission costs related to our employee sales force;

    commission costs related to our independent sales representatives and our distributors;

    expenses related to our non-manufacturing management, supervisory and staff salaries and employee benefits;

    costs related to insurance, travel and customer entertainment and office supplies costs and the cost of non-manufacturing utilities;

    costs related with marketing and advertising our products;

    costs of outside professionals such as lawyers, accountants, and investor relations professionals;

    research and development expenses;

    costs related to administrative functions that serve to support the existing businesses of the Company, as well as to provide the infrastructure for future growth.

Interest expense includes the costs and expenses associated with working capital indebtedness, the mortgage on our headquarters building, various vehicle loans and a note to the sellers of Marino Electric which was repaid in full in May 2002, all as reflected on our current and prior financial statements.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2002.

Our total revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 declined $846,372 or 49.7% to $857,021 as compared to $1,703,393 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. Revenue related to EnergySaver sales declined approximately $350,000, or 57%, to approximately $260,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $610,000 for the same period in 2002. EnergySavers unit sales decreased 68% to 21 units during the second quarter of 2003 from 66 units sold during the second quarter of 2002. We believe the decline in EnergySaver revenue is the result of (1) our customer’s continued deferral of discretionary expenditures until economic conditions improve, and (2) to management’s decision to shift resources to focus on the Company’s new utility initiative, and in particular the Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) VNPP. The ComEd VNPP agreement was finalized during the third quarter and as a result Company’s in house sales resources have been actively seeking customers to participate in the newly created program. The Company shipped its first units as part of the ComEd program in late September, but the recognition of revenue on the shipments was deferred pending installation of the units, which was completed in October. The ComEd agreement is expected to result in sales of approximately 1,500 units over the next 18 to 24 months. Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2003 is expected to rebound as a result of continued shipments under the ComEd program and as the result of a direct sales contract that was executed in September with a local government agency to install EnergySavers worth up to $4 million in multiple sites throughout Chicago. We expect to begin installing EnergySavers under this contract during the fourth quarter of 2003, and hope to have all the units installed by mid-2005.

Revenue from the sale of building automation products and services decreased approximately $496,000, or 45% to $597,000 during the three month period ended September 30, 2003, from approximately $1,093,000 recorded in the same period of 2002. Revenue in this segment is recognized as work is completed and material is delivered to the job site. The third quarter of 2002 was a very strong quarter,

Table of Contents

benefiting from two significant projects that were both in very active phases, generating good monthly revenue for this segment. The building automation segment actually had more projects underway during the third quarter of 2003 than during the year earlier period, but collectively these projects were not as active as the two projects were in the 2002, thus resulting in lower revenue. We expect the revenue for this segment to remain largely unchanged in future periods from the level realized in the most recent quarterly reporting period.

Cost of sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 declined $618,787, or 41.6% to $868,773 as compared to $1,487,560 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2003 declined $227,585 to a loss of $11,752 from a profit of $215,833 in the third quarter of 2002. The Building Automation and Controls segment was responsible for approximately two-thirds of the decline in the gross profit. This segment changed to a more conservative method of accounting whereby it defers recognition of all job related profits until the completion of the project. We review each project on a monthly basis and if as part of this review we determine the project will incur a loss, the loss is recognized immediately. Since no jobs were completed during the quarter, no profits were recognized on job related revenue. Profits in the EnergySaver business were negatively impacted by the decline in sales volume, resulting in unabsorbed fixed manufacturing overhead due to under utilization of our manufacturing capacity. As sales begin to increase due to the ComEd project, we expect our manufacturing capacity to quickly become fully utilized. Rather than adding significantly to our manufacturing overhead, we plan to leverage a new outsourcing relationship recently established with GE Industrial to provide major system components and outsourced production for our EnergySaver product line. The three-year non-binding agreement includes reciprocal purchasing, VNPP participation, joint product development and additional joint efforts.

SG&A for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 decreased $224,279, or 17.5% to $1,059,416, as compared to $1,283,695 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002. Contributing to the decline in SG&A was a $136,000 reduction in salary expense due to our restructuring efforts that led to a reduction in headcount, and reductions in sales commissions to outside third parties and a refund of insurance premiums paid during 2002.

Other expense for the three-month period ending September 30, 2003 decreased $332, or 6.5% to $4,786 from $5,118 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002. Interest expense declined $1,947 or 19.7% to $7,953 from $9,900 for the same period in 2002. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to lower levels of borrowing and lower interest rates. Interest income of $3,167 for the third quarter of 2003 was $1,615 lower than that recorded in the third quarter of 2002 due to lower interest rates paid on invested cash balances.

Our dividend expense for the third quarter of 2003 increased $756,185 to $1,379,889 from $623,704 for the same period in 2002. We accrued dividends of $663,408 and $567,004 on our Convertible Preferred Stock during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The increase in the dividend accrual was due primarily to an increase in the total shares outstanding as a result of the issuance of shares of the Series D Convertible Preferred in June 2003 and the issuance of shares of preferred stock in satisfaction of accrued dividends. The dividends accrued during the third quarters of 2003 and 2002 were satisfied through the issuance of 66,341 and 56,700 additional shares of our preferred stock, respectively. Due to the conversion price on these shares relative to the market price of our common stock on the date of issue we were required to recognize non-cash deemed dividends of $716,481 and $56,700 on September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in this deemed dividend is primarily the result of the increased difference in the market price of our common stock relative to the conversion price of the dividend shares. The closing market price of our stock on September 30, 2003 was $2.08 as compared to $1.10 on September 30, 2002.

Nine months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Nine months Ended September 30, 2002.

Our total revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 declined $1,348,866 or 26.8% to $3,676,495 as compared to $5,025,361 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. Revenue related to EnergySaver sales declined approximately $1,360,000, or 43%, to approximately $1,805,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 as compared to approximately $3,166,000 for the same period in 2002. EnergySavers unit sales declined 41% to 196 units during the first nine months of 2003 from 332 units sold during the first nine months of 2002. The decline in EnergySaver revenue is partially related to the decision on our customers’ part to continue to defer discretionary expenditures until they are more confident of future economic conditions. EnergySaver revenue was also impacted by management’s decision to shift resources to focus on the Company’s new utility initiative, and in particular the Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) VNPP. The ComEd VNPP agreement was finalized during the third quarter of 2003 and as a result Company’s in house sales resources have been actively seeking customers to participate in the newly created program. We shipped our first units as part of the ComEd program in late September, but the recognition of revenue on the shipments was deferred pending installation of the units, which occurred in October. The ComEd agreement is expected to result in sales of approximately 1,500 units over the next 18 to 24 months.

Revenue from the sale of building automation products and services increased approximately $11,000, or 1% to $1,871,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, from approximately $1,859,000 recorded in the same period of 2002.

Cost of sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 totaled $3,485,217 as compared to $4,125,485 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. Gross profit for the first nine months of 2003 decreased $708,598 to $191,278 from $899,876 during the same period in 2002, while our gross profit margin decreased to 5.2% from 17.9% for the same periods. Approximately 60% of the decline in gross profit was attributable to the Energy Technology segment, which was affected by lower sales and a slight shift to smaller, less profitable EnergySaver units. We believe that this shift was largely caused by one large order and is not a trend that should continue because the customers’ economic returns are more favorable with the larger units. The decline in gross margin in the Building Automation and Controls segment was to a great extent due to a decision to defer recognition of all job related profits until the job is completed. We review each project on a monthly basis and if as part of this review we determine the project will incur a loss, the loss is recognized immediately. This method is consistent with SOP 81-1. Since only one small job was completed during the first nine months of the year, most job related profits have been deferred to future periods. Projects in the Building Automation and Controls segment can take anywhere from a few months to several years to complete.

SG&A for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 declined $1,502,340, or 32.1% to $3,183,752, as compared to $4,686,092 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. Contributing to the decline in SG&A was a $748,000 reduction in salary expense due to reductions in headcount, a $254,000 reduction in commission expense, a $184,000 reduction in outside services (which include fees for marketing, investor relations and recruiting services), a $55,000 gain resulting from bad debt recovery and reductions in travel expense, utility expenses and insurance costs.

Other expense for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003 increased $4,591, or 19.4% to $28,244 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 from $23,653 for the same period ended September 30, 2002. Interest expense declined $10,616 or 23.6% to $34,398 from $45,014 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to lower levels of borrowing and lower interest rates. Interest income for the first nine months of 2003 declined $15,207 to $6,154 from $21,361 for the nine months of 2002. The decline in interest income was due to lower average cash balances and lower interest rates paid on invested cash balances.

During the first nine months of 2003 we agreed to sell substantially all of the assets and to transfer most of the liabilities of our Power Management segment to a group of investors that included members of the segment’s management. The sale closed on June 3, 2003, effective as of May 31, 2003. As required by SFAS 144 we have presented the operating results as well as the loss on disposal for this segment as discontinued operations. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 the Power Management segment’s operating loss was $302,503 as compared to an operating loss of $585,877 for the year earlier period. We also recorded a $764,148 loss on the disposal of the segment during the first nine months of 2003.

On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we completed our transitional impairment testing of intangible assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal 2002, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, we finalized the testing of goodwill subject to SFAS 142. The testing resulted in a write-down of recorded goodwill in the amount of $4,103,872, which was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle.

Our dividend expense for the first nine months of 2003 decreased $316,795 to $3,213,133 from $3,529,928 for the same period in 2002. We accrued dividends of $1,871,384 and $1,577,239 on our Convertible Preferred Stock during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The increase in the dividend accrual is due primarily to an increase in the total shares outstanding as a result of the issuance of shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred in June 2002, the issuance of the Series D Convertible Preferred in June 2003, and the issuance of shares of preferred stock in satisfaction of accrued dividends. Dividend expenses for the first nine months of 2003 also included $386,984 of non-cash deemed dividends associated with the issuance of the Series D Convertible Preferred stock, while the dividends for the same period in 2002 included a non-cash deemed dividend of $1,444,697 resulting from the issuance of the Series C Convertible Preferred stock. The dividends accrued during the first nine months of 2003 and 2002 were satisfied through the issuance of 187,139 and 157,724 additional shares of our preferred stock, respectively. We were required to recognize non-cash deemed dividends of $954,765 and $507,992 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively, due to the fact that the conversion price on these dividend shares was lower than the market price of our common stock on the dates of issuance. The increase in this deemed dividend is primarily the result of the increased difference in the market price of our common stock relative to the conversion price of the dividend shares on the dates we issued the dividend shares.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2002, we incurred a net loss before the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $7.07 million and used $6.88 million of cash for operating activities. Primarily as a result of our continuing losses and lack of liquidity, our independent certified public accountants modified their opinion on our December 31, 2002 Consolidated Financial Statement to contain a paragraph wherein they expressed a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have taken steps to improve our current liquidity and provide some of the growth capital necessary to fund our plan for future growth, although these steps may not be sufficient to sustain us until operations reach profitability. Our efforts to raise additional capital are discussed below.

As of September 30, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,582,969 compared to $1,555,904 on December 31, 2002. Our debt obligations as of September 30, 2003 consisted of a $1 million convertible secured term note (excluding the debt discount — see note 11), a mortgage of $640,000 on our facility in Elk Grove Village Illinois, and a vehicle loan of approximately $9,500.

Our principal cash requirements are for operating expenses, including employee costs, the costs related to research and development, advertising costs, the cost of outside services including those providing

25


Table of Contents

accounting, legal, engineering and consulting services, and the funding of inventory and accounts receivable, and capital expenditures. We have financed our operations since inception through the private placement of our common stock, preferred stock and various secured and unsecured loans.

Net cash increased $1,027,065 during the first nine months of 2003 as compared to decreasing $3,877,945 during the same period in 2002. Cash consumed by operating activities declined 52.8% to $2,570,087 during the first nine months of 2003 as compared to $5,444,577 during the same period in 2002. Cash used to fund the net loss before changes in working capital, declined $1,074,868 or 26.5%, to $2,984,293 during the first nine months of 2003 from $4,059,161 during the same period in 2002. This improvement was primarily the result of reductions in SG&A expense.

Changes in working capital generated $359,205 during the first nine months of 2003 and consumed $1,385,416 during the same period of 2002. Declines in accounts receivable and inventory generated $889,859 during the first nine months of 2003, while other current assets increased consuming $31,263. The decline in accounts receivable resulted from improved collections and the slowdown in sales during the third quarter of 2003. The decline in inventory came primarily from the Energy Technology segment where we have continued to focus on reducing the working capital tied up in inventory by doing a better job of forecasting our raw material and finished goods requirements. Declines in accounts payable and accrued expenses consumed cash of $463,730 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. The decline accounts payable and accrued expenses is due in large part to a decrease in purchases in the Energy Technology segment during the period. Increases in accounts receivable and inventory consumed $2,677,917 during the first nine months of 2002, which was primarily the result of increased sales, with the Energy Technology segment responsible for most of the increase. Increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue consumed $1,265,803 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses during 2002 was again primarily the result of the increased business activity in both EnergySaver and Building Automation and Controls businesses. The increase in deferred revenue during 2002 resulted from product shipped during the period for which we could not recognize revenue pending satisfaction of all of our revenue recognition requirements.

Investing activities generated cash of $910,897 during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003, as compared to consuming $6,987 during the same period in 2002. In June 2003, we sold certain assets and transferred certain liabilities of our Power Management business, generating cash proceeds of $929,032. This source of cash was partially offset by the purchase of equipment during the first nine months of 2003 totaling $18,135. During the nine months of 2002 we used $17,487 to purchase equipment and generated $10,500 through the sale of equipment we no longer required.

Financing activities generated cash of $2,686,255 and $1,573,619 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. During 2003, we entered into several private placement transactions in which we sold securities including shares of our common stock, shares of our Series D Convertible stock, preferred stock warrants and common stock warrants, generating gross proceeds of $3,169,916, which was partially offset by issuance costs of $301,290. We used a portion of the proceeds generated from the sale of our Power Management segment to repay $298,000 in equipment loans and to paydown the outstanding balance on our revolving line of credit of $500,000. We made scheduled principal payments of $75,769 on various loans during the first nine months of 2003 and borrowed $10,000 to finance the purchase of new equipment. In September 2003 we closed on a new financing agreement under which we generated gross proceeds of $1,000,000 through the issuance of a term note and gained access to a $2,000,000 revolving credit facility, which as of September 30, 2003 was unused. The proceeds from the term note were partially offset by issuance cost of $304,400. Also during September 2003, in consideration of a $47,000 prepayment, American Chartered Bank agreed to renew and extend the mortgage on our building to February 1, 2005. During 2003 holders of certain warrants exercised their rights to purchase common stock, generating $32,000 in cash. During 2003 we also received a payment of $798 from a stockholder which represented the short-swing profit inadvertently

earned when he purchased shares of our stock within six months of selling shares, which is a violation of section 16(b) of the Securities Act of 1934. During the first nine months of 2002, we issued a package of securities that included our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which raised $2,000,000, and we incurred $119,743 in expenses related to the issuance of this preferred stock. We also made scheduled principal payments of $219,067 on the note to the sellers of Marino Electric, and $87,571 on our mortgage and equipment loans. In May 2002 we closed on a new mortgage and equipment loan with American Chartered Bank and used the proceeds of $1,135,000 to repay our existing mortgage and equipment loan with American National Bank.

Our working capital line of credit with American Chartered Bank expired on September 30, 2003. We entered into new a financing arrangement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) as of September 11, 2003, providing for a $1,000,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility of up to $2,000,000. The Term Loan has a term of two years and accrues interest at the greater of prime (currently 4.00%) plus 1.75% or 6%. Interest on the Term Loan will be due monthly in arrears and the loan will amortize at the rate of $50,000 per month beginning February 1, 2004. We have the option of paying scheduled interest and principal or prepaying all or a portion of the Term Loan with shares of our common stock at the fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share (which was equal to 103% of the recent market price of our common stock at that time), provided that the closing price of the common stock is greater than $2.43 per share for the 11 trading days immediately proceeding the payment date and that the shares are registered with Securities and Exchange Commission. We have commenced (but not yet completed) the process of registration of shares of our common for such purposes. Laurus also has the option to convert all or a portion of the Term Loan into shares of our common stock at any time, subject to certain limitations, at a fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share. The Term Loan is secured by a blanket lien on all our assets, except for our real estate. In conjunction with the Term Loan, Laurus was paid a fee of $50,000 and received a five year warrant to purchase up to 140,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $2.44 per share to $3.07 per share. The revolving credit facility provides for borrowings of up to the lesser of (i) $2 million or (ii) 90% of our eligible accounts receivable. We have not borrowed under the facility, thus it remains fully available to the extent of our eligible receivables. As of September 30, 2003 eligible receivables would support borrowings of approximately $300,000 under the facility. The revolving credit facility also has a term of two years and accrues interest at the rate of prime (currently 4.00%) plus 1.75%. We have the option of paying interest and principal, or prepaying all or a portion of the advances under each Secured Convertible Revolving Note with shares of our common stock at the fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share, provided that the closing price of our common stock is greater than $2.43 per share for the 11 trading days immediately proceeding the payment date and that the shares are registered with Securities and Exchange Commission. (We are in the process of registering shares of our common stock for this purpose as well.) In addition, Laurus has the option to convert all or a portion of the advances under any Secured Convertible Revolving Note into shares of our common stock at any time, subject to certain limitations, at a fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share. The revolving credit facility is also secured by a blanket lien on all of our assets, except for our real estate. In conjunction with the revolving credit facility, Laurus was paid a fee of $100,000 and received a five year warrant to purchase up to 280,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $2.54 per share to $3.18 per share.

Our ability to continue the development, manufacturing and the expansion of sales of our products, including the EnergySaver, the GlobalCommander and building automation products, will require the continued commitment of significant funds. The actual timing and amount of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the amount and timing of future revenues, our ability to collect our receivables in a timely manner, the level and amount of product marketing and sales efforts, the magnitude of research and development, and our ability to improve margins.

As a result of our continued losses and liquidity position, at the end of last year we set the following priorities for 2003 as those we believe we must focus on in order for the Company to continue as a going concern:

27


Table of Contents

    Continue to increase sales of EnergySavers. This is our most profitable product and represents the greatest potential for growth of any product we sell. As demonstrated in 2002, we can increase our production of EnergySavers with very little increase in our manufacturing costs, thus as our sales volume increases, our profitability should increase as well. Our most promising opportunity at this time appears to be utility curtailment programs similar to the VNPP program with Commonwealth Edison (“ComEd”), which we announced earlier this year. We completed the program agreement with ComEd during the third quarter of 2003 and began shipping product under the program in late September. We are also in conversation with other utilities who are considering implementing programs similar to the ComEd program. While we made significant progress toward implementing the ComEd program during 2003, we still have several additional tasks to accomplish in order for this program to be successful, including the completion of technical enhancements and working out long-term financing arrangements, the failure to accomplish either of which could delay or significantly reduce the size and profitability of the program and could affect our ability to implement similar programs with other utilities. In order to provide additional strength to the Company’s operations in response to the increase demands of the 50 MW Chicago VNPP system, the Company has entered into a non-binding agreement with GE Industrial Systems to provide major system components for its EnergySaver product line, which contemplates reciprocal purchasing, VNPP participation, joint product development and additional joint efforts.

    Evaluate the Power Management business and decide if it can be restructured in order to make it profitable in the current business environment and stagnant construction industry. We completed the evaluation of this segment in early 2003 and made the decision to exit the business. Effective May 31, 2003 we closed on the sale of substantially all the assets of the segment and transferred certain of the liabilities to a group of investors, including the former owners of Switchboard Apparatus, generating proceeds of $929,032. We used $798,000 of the proceeds to repay debt.

    Build on the recent project successes at Great Lakes Controlled Energy to make the Building Controls and Automation business grow and become profitable. Great Lakes has been awarded new business during 2003 which should contribute to an improvement in this segment’s profitability. This segment must execute effectively in order to realize the profitability potential of this new business.

    Continue to aggressively manage our costs in order to conserve cash. Through the first nine months of 2003 we have been successful in reducing our costs as is evidenced by the 32% reduction in SG&A when compared to the same period in 2002. While further significant reductions in SG&A are unlikely, we must continue to monitor our costs structure to ensure the efficient utilization of the limited capital resources available to us.

    Raise additional capital to continue to fund operations until the business starts to generate positive cash flow, consistent with the plan presented to shareholders in July 2001. We have succeeded in raising approximately $3.5 million in net proceeds during 2003 through the private placement of our equity securities and the issuance of a convertible term note. We are continuing to explore opportunities to raise additional capital.

We believe that if we are successful in achieving these priorities we should have sufficient liquidity to allow us to operate until our operations turn cash flow positive, hopefully sometime during 2004. Our projections contain certain key assumptions which may or may not occur. If any of the key assumptions contained in our projections are proven wrong, we may begin to experience a liquidity shortage within the next 6 to 12 months which could force us to scale back our growth plans, or, in the worst case, cease operations.

If in the future we find that we need to raise additional capital (which may require stockholder approval), our existing stockholders will likely experience dilution of their present equity ownership position and voting rights, depending upon the number of shares issued and the terms and conditions of the issuance. Any new equity securities will likely have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

In early October 2003, the Company notified one of its distributors that the Company was terminating the distributorship agreement between the parties due to certain unresolved issues (including breaches by such distributor), such termination to be effective after 60 days. In such notice, the Company indicated that it would be willing to enter into a new agreement with such distributor if the disputed issues could be resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties. Subsequent to giving such notice, the Company has received a demand for arbitration from such distributor pursuant to the provisions of the agreement, seeking, among other things, money damages in an unspecified amount and a declaration of the meaning of certain provisions of the distributorship agreement. The Company intends to defend the arbitration, but cannot predict the outcome at this time. Based upon information presently available, and in light of legal and other defenses available to the Company, management does not consider the liability from any threatened or pending litigation (including the foregoing arbitration) to be material to the Company.

ITEM 2. Changes In Securities

(1)   On July 23, 2003, our Board of Directors approved the retirement of 1,000 shares of common stock held in our treasury, which are now deemed authorized but unissued shares.

(2)   On August 22, 2003, the holder of a warrant to purchase common stock exercised the warrant, receiving 5,000 share of our common stock in exchange of $5,000.

(3)   We entered into a financing arrangement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) as of September 11, 2003, providing for a $1,000,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility of up to $2,000,000. The principal documents involved are a Securities Purchase Agreement, two Security Agreements, a Convertible Term Note, two warrants to purchase common stock of the Company (one relating to the revolving loan facility and one relating to the term loan), two registration rights agreements (one with respect to the revolving loan facility and one with respect to the term loan), and an agreed form of Secured Convertible Revolving Note. All of the documents are dated September 11, 2003, except that no Secured Convertible Revolving Note has been executed or delivered yet. When we desire to access the revolving credit facility, we will execute and deliver to Laurus one or more Secured Convertible Revolving Notes (which, in the aggregate, will not exceed $2,000,000).

    The Term Loan has a term of two years and accrues interest at the greater of prime (currently 4.005) plus 1.75% or 6%. Interest on the Term Loan will be due monthly in arrears and the loan will amortize at the rate of $50,000 per month beginning February 1, 2004. We have the option of paying scheduled interest and principal, or prepaying all or a portion of the Term Loan with shares of our common stock at the fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share, provided that the closing price of the common stock is greater than $2.43 per share for the 11 trading days immediately proceeding the payment date and that the shares are registered with Securities and Exchange Commission. Laurus also has the option to convert all or a portion of the Term Loan into shares of our common stock at any time, subject to certain limitations, at a fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share. The Term Loan is secured by a blanket lien on all our assets, except for our real estate. In conjunction with the Term Loan, Laurus was paid a fee of $50,000 and received a five year warrant to purchase up to 140,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $2.44 per share to $3.07 per share. All stock conversion prices and exercise prices are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events.

    The revolving credit facility provides for borrowings of up to the lesser of (i) $2 million or (ii) 90% of our eligible accounts receivable. We did not borrow under the facility at closing. The revolving credit facility also has a term of two years and accrues interest at the rate of prime plus 1.75%. We have the option of paying interest and principal, or prepaying all or a portion of the advances under each Secured Convertible Revolving Note with shares of our common stock at the fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share, provided that the closing price of our common stock is greater than $2.43 per share for the 11 trading days immediately proceeding the payment date and that the shares are registered with Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, Laurus has the option to convert all or a portion of the advances under any Secured Convertible Revolving Note into shares of our common stock at any time, subject to certain limitations, at a fixed conversion price of $2.12 per share. The revolving credit facility is also secured by a blanket lien on all of our assets, except for our real estate. In conjunction with the revolving credit facility, Laurus was paid a fee of $100,000 and received a five year warrant to purchase up to 280,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $2.54 per share to $3.18 per share. All stock conversion prices and exercise prices are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events.

(4)   On September 24, 2003, the Board of Directors declared dividends payable on our Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock for the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2003 to shareholders of record of our Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2003.

Each share of Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of our common stock.

(5)   On September 23, 2003, we issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock to a consultant as compensation for services received in a private transaction not involving any solicitation or offering of such warrant to anyone else. The warrant has a term of three years and an exercise price of $2.00 per share. This warrant was valued at $100,000 using a modified Black-Sholes option pricing model.

No underwriters were involved in any of the transactions described above. All of the securities issued in the foregoing transactions were issued by us in reliance upon the exemption from registration available under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, including Regulation D promulgated thereunder, in that the transactions involved the issuance and sale of our securities to financially sophisticated individuals or entities that were aware of our activities and business and financial condition and took the securities for investment purposes and understood the ramifications of their actions. Certain of the purchasers also represented that they were “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D and/or were acquiring such securities for investment for their own account and not for distribution. All certificates representing the common stock so issued have a legend imprinted on them stating that the shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and cannot be transferred until properly registered under the Securities Act or an exemption applies.
