INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Board of Directors
PV Powered, Inc
PV Powered, Inc
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of PV Powered, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31,
2009 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders deficit, and cash flows for
the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of PV Powered, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and the results of
its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue
as a going concern. As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred
and continues to incur losses from operations since inception. Managements plans regarding those
matters also are described in Note 14. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of operations PV Powered was formed in January of 2003 as a limited liability company. On
January 1, 2006 the company converted to a C Corporation and is organized under the laws of the
state of Oregon. PV Powered, Inc. designs, manufacturers, sells, and services grid-tied, solar
inverters for residential and commercial applications. The company is based in Bend, Oregon.
Estimates and assumptions Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.
Estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, warranty
costs, loss contingencies, product life cycles, stock-based compensation forfeiture rates, the
potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial
statements or tax returns and estimating the fair value for impairment of intangible assets.
Actual results and outcomes may differ from managements estimates and assumptions.
Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
shipment has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.
Provisions are estimated and when appropriate, recorded for estimated returns, concessions, and
bad debts. Revenue recognition generally occurs upon shipment of product.
Research and development Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits,
stock-based compensation, and other headcount-related indirect costs associated with product
development. The company expenses all research and development costs as incurred.
Sales and marketing Sales and marketing expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based
compensation, indirect costs associated with sales and marketing personnel and advertising,
promotions, tradeshows, seminars, and other marketing-related programs. Advertising costs are
expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $51,510 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Shipping and handling costs Freight billed to customers is included in revenue and shipping
expense are included in cost of sales.
Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid interest-earning investments
with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable is recorded at the amount the Company expects to
collect on balances at year-end. Management closely monitors outstanding balances and writes off
any balances considered uncollectible. Accounts receivable are considered delinquent based on
contractual terms, which is typically between 30 and 60 days. The allowance for doubtful accounts
reflects managements best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable
balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical
experience, and other currently available evidence.
Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the
first-in first-out method. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand, future
purchase commitments with suppliers, and the estimated value of inventory. If managements review
indicates a reduction in utility below carrying value, inventory values are reduced to a new cost
basis.
Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements
are stated at cost. Major expenditures and those which substantially increase the useful lives
will be capitalized. Maintenance, repairs, and minor replacements will be charged to operations
when incurred. When property, equipment, and leasehold improvements are sold or otherwise disposed
of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the stated accounts and any
gain or loss is included in income from operations.
Depreciation is provided on property and equipment using the straight-line method based on
estimated useful lives ranging from one to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the lesser of the term of the lease or their estimated useful lives.
Intangible assets Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are stated at cost and are
amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset. Intangible
assets at December 31, 2009 consisted of purchased technology related to the software that formed
part of the initial operating platform for the Companys products, costs incurred to obtain
Underwriters Laboratory (UL) approval for its commercial products, and certain patents held by the
Company. The UL costs, software and patents are being amortized over estimated useful lives of 5,
15 and 17.5 years, respectively.
Recoverability of long-lived assets Management of the Company reviews the carrying value of
capitalized tangible assets on a regular basis to reach a judgment concerning possible permanent
impairment of value. These reviews consider, among other factors, (1) the net realizable value of
each major classification of assets, (2) the cash flow associated with the assets, and (3)
significant changes in the extent or manner in which major assets are used. Management believes
the carrying value of assets is less than the estimated fair value.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Warranty The Company accrues an estimate of its exposure to warranty claims based on both current
and historical product performance trends and actual warranty costs incurred. The majority of the
Companys products carry a 10 year warranty, and the Company has sold extended warranties for 20
years on some of its commercial products. The Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded
warranty liability annually and adjusts the amount as necessary. Sales of extended warranties are
recorded as liabilities and no revenue is recognized until the ultimate outcome of the warranty
contract can be determined. No revenue was recognized for the sale of extended warranties during
2009.
Stock based compensation The Company recognizes the cost of employee and director services
received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as the stock options and restricted
stock, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant over the requisite service
period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton (Black Scholes) pricing model to determine the
fair value of stock option awards. Stock based compensation plans, related expenses and
assumptions used in the Black Scholes option pricing model are more fully described in Note 9.
Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The
Company maintains its cash accounts with two financial institutions where, at times, deposits
exceed federal insurance limits. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. The Company has credit risk regarding trade accounts receivable. The Company performs
initial and ongoing evaluations of its customers financial position, and generally extends credit
on account, without collateral. The Company determines the need for an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon its historical experience and the expected collectiblity of accounts
receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2009, 26% of the Companys revenue was earned from
three customers and 34% of the Companys accounts receivable is due from three customers.
Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires
the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at
the applicable enacted tax rates. The Company will establish a valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is
able to realize their benefit, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
As of January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the new accounting requirement for uncertain tax
positions, which had no financial statement impact to the Company. The Company recognizes the tax
benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it more likely than not that the tax position will be
sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of
being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to
income tax matters in income tax expense if incurred.
Derivative instruments In 2009 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in an Entitys Own Equity.,
which requires instruments that are not considered to be indexed to the Companys own stock to be
treated as derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recognized in
the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. The changes in
fair values are adjusted through charges to income on the statement of operations. The Company
only uses derivatives in the form of warrants to purchase common stock issued as financing
incentives to lenders. Warrant derivatives are more fully discussed in Note 6. Adoption of ASC
Subtopic 815-40 did not have a material effect on opening retained earnings.
Subsequent events The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 12, 2010, the date
the financial statements were available to be issued.

NOTE 6 SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY AND BORROWINGS
Series A Preferred Stock In May, 2009 the Company issued 2,600,000 shares of Series A preferred
stock for $.01 per share. At December 31, 2009 the Company has authorized and issued 2,600,000
shares of Series A preferred stock.
The significant terms of outstanding preferred stock are summarized below:
a. | Conversion Each share of Series A Preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder into common stock. The agreement includes provisions to protect the holders from dilution through readjustment of conversion price provisions and a purchase option for subsequent rounds. Under the terms of the agreement, preferred stock is mandatorily converted into shares of common stock upon the closing of a public offering, with an option to convert at any time, at a ratio of 1.15 shares of common stock for every one share of preferred stock converted. | ||
b. | Liquidation and Preference In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series A Preferred stock will be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of common stock. | ||
c. | Voting The holder of each share of preferred stock has the right to one vote for each full share of common stock into which its respective shares of preferred stock would be convertible on the record date for the vote. | ||
d. | Dividends when declared by the board of directors, holders of preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends on an as converted basis. Dividends may not be declared or paid on common shares while any preferred shares are outstanding. |
Sterling Guarantee Common Stock Warrants During 2007 the Company granted to various individuals,
including shareholders and members of its board of directors, detachable warrants to purchase a
total of 221,000 shares of common stock at a strike price of $15 per share, in exchange for those
individuals providing guarantees to secure bank loans of up to $3,315,000. The bank loan was paid
off during 2009. The Company has assigned no value to these warrants upon issuance or at December
31, 2009, based on the results of the use of a Black Scholes pricing model, largely driven by the
relative difference between the strike price and the estimated fair value of the Companys common
stock.

NOTE 6 SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY AND BORROWINGS (continued)
2nd Tier Line of Credit and Common Stock Warrants (2nd Tier LOC) During 2007 and
2008, the Company borrowed funds from various individuals, including shareholders and
members of its board of directors, under a line of credit facility in the aggregate amount of
$3,208,619, which is subordinated to the bank line of credit. Interest accrues at the higher of 12%
or prime rate plus 3.5% per annum, or 12% at December 31, 2009. Accrued interest and
principal is due September 30, 2012. At December 31, 2009, the total amount of principal and
interest outstanding was $3,208,619 and $699,652, respectively.
The 2nd Tier LOC lenders were also granted detachable warrants to purchase the
Companys common stock. The lenders were granted fee warrants equal to 400 shares for every
$100,000 in loan commitments made to the Company. Additionally, the lenders were provided warrants
to purchase stock in the Company equal to the maximum amount borrowed by the Company divided by
the warrant exercise price of $15. The Company has assigned no value to these warrants upon
issuance or at December 31, 2009, based on the results of the use of a Black Scholes pricing
model, largely driven by the relative difference between the strike price and the estimated fair
value of the Companys common stock.
3rd Tier Line of Credit and Common Stock Warrants (3rd Tier LOC) During 2008 and
2009, the Company borrowed funds from various individuals, including shareholders and
members of its board of directors, under a line of credit facility in the aggregate amount of
$5,527,577, which is subordinated to the bank line of credit. Interest accrues at 14% per annum
and is due, along with the entire outstanding principal balance, on December 31, 2010, which is
the maturity date. At December 31, 2009, the total amount of principal and interest outstanding
was $5,527,577 and $810,306, respectively.
The 3rd Tier LOC lenders were also granted detachable warrants to purchase the
Companys common stock. The amount of warrants granted is equal to the highest amount of principal
and interest outstanding during the loan period divided by the strike price. The strike price,
ranging between $5.00 and $.025 per share at the grant dates, resets to equal the price per share
or strike price assigned to any equity or equity like instruments granted subsequent to the grant
dates, and was $.01 per share at December 31, 2009. The Company has accounted for the fair value
of these warrants as a liability in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as
they do not meet the definition of indexed to the issuers own stock as prescribed by ASC 815-40,
Contracts in an Entitys Own Equity. As these warrants are treated as derivative instrument
liabilities, the value is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date, with the change in fair
value recorded as interest expense in the statement of operations. Refer to Note 10 below for a
more in depth discussion of the fair value measurements related to this derivative instrument.

NOTE 6 SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY AND BORROWINGS (continued)
Preferred
Stockholder Debt Guarantees As discussed above, during 2009 the Company issued a
round of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As part of that round of financing, the preferred
stockholders were also given an incentive to guarantee the $5,000,000 Key Bank Line of Credit in
the form of detachable warrants to purchase the Companys common stock at $.01 per share. The
number of warrants granted being a function of the highest amount of loan outstanding and
guaranteed during the loan period divided by the strike price, for a total of 500,000,000
outstanding at December 31, 2009. The Company has accounted for these warrants as equity
instruments in accordance ASC 815-40, Contracts in an Entities Own Equity, as they meet the
definition of indexed to the issuers own stock as prescribed by that guidance. As these
warrants are treated as equity instruments, they were measured and recorded at the grant date
fair value and are not remeasured to fair value in subsequent periods. The fair value of these
warrants recorded in equity is $3,326,010.
Shareholder
Line of Credit The Company has a line of credit from Evans Renewable Holdings II,
LLC, the Companys majority shareholder, with a limit of $2,000,000, subordinated to the bank
line of credit. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the board of directors increased the limit to
$5,500,000. At December 31, 2009, the outstanding balance was $1,647,367, consisting of principal
and accrued interest of $1,600,000 and $47,367, respectively. This note may be prepaid, at any
time and from time to time, in whole or part, without penalty or premium, and is due on demand.
The line of credit requires payments of principal and interest at the rate of 15%.

NOTE 7 BANK LINE OF CREDIT
The Company has a short-term line of credit from Key Bank in the amount of $5,000,000, which is
guaranteed by members of the majority stockholder. The guarantors have also pledged either cash or
real estate as collateral to the loan. In the event the guaranteeing shareholders are called upon

NOTE 9 STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company maintains two different stock compensation plans. Restricted stock awards are grants
that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. The Companys stock grants
generally vest on a graduated basis over a three-year period. Stock options entitle the holder
the right to purchase shares or common stock at a predetermined price as the award vests. The
Companys stock options generally vest over a four-year period and expire 7 to 10 years from the
date of grant. Compensation expense is recorded when the awards vest and the Company issues new
shares on the date the restricted units vest or the option is exercised.
Restricted
stock unit awards During 2006, shareholders approved the 2006 Restricted Stock Plan.
Shareholders approved 200,000 shares for issuance as equity awards to employees. The 2006
Restricted Stock Plan allows for time-based vesting for equity incentive awards. During February
2008, the Board of Directors retired the remaining shares issuable under the 2006 Restricted Stock
Plan. As of December 31, 2009, no shares remained available for future grant under the 2006
Restricted Stock Plan.
Information with respect to outstanding restricted stock unit activity is as follows:

As of December 31, 2009, there was no unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock
units granted under the Companys equity incentive plan.
Incentive
stock option plans During 2006, the Board of Directors (the Board) approved the 2006
Incentive Stock Option Plan (the 2006 Plan). The Board approved 218,000 shares for issuance as
equity awards to employees and non-employee directors. During February 2008, the Board approved
an additional 107,450 shares for issuance under The Plan. The Plan allows for time-based vesting
for equity incentive awards, as well as immediate vesting upon a change in control. As of
December 31, 2008, 159,099 shares remained available for future grant under the Plan.

9 STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (continued)
During 2009, the Board approved the 2009 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the 2009 Plan). The Board
approved 305,780,000 shares for issuance as equity awards to employees and non-employee
directors. The Plan allows for time-based vesting for equity incentive awards. As of December 31,
2009, 1,251,368 shares remained available for future grant under the Plan.
The following describes the key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to derive the
calculated value for the year ended December 31:
2006 Plan | 2009 Plan | |||||||
Expected dividend yield |
0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
Expected volatility |
82.85 | % | 82.85 | % | ||||

3.03 | % | 4.16 | % | ||||
Expected life (years) |
7.00 | 7.00 | ||||||
Weighted average fair value per share |
| $ | 0.008 |
The volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes model was based on the volatility of the stock price of three publicly traded companies with characteristics similar to the Company. The
Company calculated the historical volatility of the example companies for the year using the daily closing total returns for that index incorporating the seven most recent years in its analysis
since that was the expected life at the time of calculation. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The Company expenses stock options on a straight-line basis over the options related vesting term. Stock based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $276,151, of
which $14,543 recorded in cost of goods sold, $71,808 in research and development, $47,812 in sales and marketing, and $141,988 in general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2009
there is $2,052,543 of total unrecognized stock based compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plans.

NOTE 10 FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of warrants to purchase shares of
common stock as borrowing incentive, as more fully addressed in Note 6 above. The Company records
the fair value of such derivatives on its balance sheet and in its statement of operations as an
unrealized gain or loss in the change in fair value of the warrant derivative. The change in the
fair value of the warrant derivative for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $4,516,680.
The Company has applied the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, for purposes of measuring its
derivative liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a
fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three
levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level
1
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |
Level 2
|
Observable inputs other than Level I prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active 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 |
The Companys warrant derivatives, which are considered Level 3 fair value measurements, are
valued using the Black Scholes pricing model. The Company does not have any other material Level
1, Level 2 or Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31,
2009, there were no material financial assets or liabilities measured
on a non-recurring basis that
required adjustments or write-downs.
Significant inputs used in determining the fair value of the derivative liability using the Black
Scholes pricing model at December 31, 2009 were as follows:
Expected dividend yield |
0 | % | ||
Expected volatility |
83.36 | % | ||
Risk-free interest rate |

FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (continued)
The volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes model was based on the volatility of the stock
price of three publicly traded companies with characteristics similar to the Company. The Company
calculated the historical volatility of the example companies for the year using the daily closing
total returns for that index incorporating the seven most recent two years in its analysis since
that was the expected life at the time of calculation. The risk-free rate for periods within the
expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant.
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the Company consisted of the following
as of December 31:
Fair Value Measurements Using | ||||||||||||||||
Quoted Prices In | ||||||||||||||||

The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities,
including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses,
current portion of shareholder lines of credit, and the bank line of credit approximate carrying
value, principally because of the short maturity of those items. The fair values of long tem
shareholder lines of credit and capitalized lease obligations approximate carrying value based on
their effective interest rates compared to current market rates.
NOTE 11 RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company has a 401(k) plan that covers substantially all employees. Participating employees may
elect to contribute, on a tax-deferred basis, a portion or their compensation in accordance with
Section 401(k) or the Internal Revenue Code. Company contributions may be made to the plan at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. The Company made no contributions to the plan for the year
ended December 31, 2009.
NOTE 12 OTHER INCOME
During 2009, the Company participated in the sale of Business Energy Tax Credits (BETC) in the
state of Oregon. The company was able to generate cash through the sale of this credit to
entities in a position to make use of the credits. Net proceeds totaling $1,334,061 for the 2009

As of December 31, 2009, the Company has remaining deferred tax benefits related to its federal,
state and foreign net operating losses totaling approximately $970,000. These NOLs will expire, in
varying amounts, beginning in 2010 through 2029. The potential future tax benefits of the NOLs
have been fully offset by a valuation allowance based on the Companys analysis of the likelihood
of generating sufficient taxable income in the various jurisdictions to utilize the benefits
before expiration.
The Company has not performed a valuation during 2009 to determine the value of the prior year
NOLs in regards to IRC Section 382. The Company has determined a change in ownership occurred on
June 30, 2009. Therefore the Deferred Tax Asset of these prior year NOLs has not been recognized.
The gross amount of these prior year NOLs are $6,958,000. These NOLs will expire, in varying
amounts, beginning 2010 through 2025. The company has allocated the current year NOL in accordance
to IRC Section 382.

NOTE 14 GOING CONCERN
This financial statement has been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
As reported in this financial statement, the Company incurred a net loss of $12,230,168 during the
year ended December 31, 2009. As of that date, the Companys current liabilities exceeded its
current assets by $5,430,182 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $13,651,376.
These factors indicate a substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern. During January, 2010 the Company was able to negotiate an extension to the bank line of
credit, and is currently working on negotiations with potential strategic partners and investors
to secure additional financing or for the sale of the Company. Management and the Board of
Directors have signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to sell the Company and are hopeful that the
Company will conclude negotiations and receive funding or sell the Company by the end of July
2010. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of
these plans and there can be no guaranty that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
