AKEENA SOLAR, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

Basis of Presentation — Interim Financial Information

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. They should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements of Akeena Solar, Inc. (the “Company”) for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 appearing in the Company’s Form 10-KSB. The June 30, 2007 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements on Form 10-QSB have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements on Form 10-KSB have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company’s management believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the result of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Akeena Solar, Inc. was incorporated in February 2001 as a Subchapter S corporation in the State of California. During June 2006, the Company became a C corporation in the State of Delaware. On August 11, 2006, the Company entered into a reverse merger transaction (the “Merger”) with Fairview Energy Corporation, Inc. (“Fairview”). Pursuant to the merger agreement, the stockholders of Akeena Solar received one share of Fairview common stock for each issued and outstanding share of Akeena Solar common stock, which totaled 8,000,000 shares. Akeena Solar’s common shares were also adjusted from $0.01 par value to $0.001 par value at the time of the Merger. Subsequent to the closing of the Merger, the closing of a private placement of 3,217,500 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Private Placement”) at an issue price of $1.00 per share for a total of $3,217,500, net of placement agent fees of $131,539, and the cancellation of 3,877,477 shares of Fairview common stock, the former stockholders of Akeena Solar held a majority of Fairview’s outstanding common stock. The $131,539 of placement agent fees were comprised of $61,500 in cash fees paid and warrants to purchase 61,500 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $70,039 (see Note 11). Since the stockholders of Akeena Solar own a majority of the outstanding shares of Fairview common stock immediately following the Merger, and the management and board of Akeena Solar became the management and board of Fairview immediately following the Merger, the Merger is being accounted for as a reverse merger transaction and Akeena Solar is deemed to be the acquirer. The assets, liabilities and the historical operations prior to the Merger are those of Akeena Solar. Subsequent to the Merger, the consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of Akeena Solar and Fairview, and the historical operations of Akeena Solar and the operations of Fairview from the closing date of the Merger.

Description of Business

The Company is engaged in a single business segment, the installation of solar panel systems to residential and commercial markets.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents which consist principally of demand deposits with high credit quality financial institutions. At certain times, such amounts exceed FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these investments.

Manufacturer and installation warranties

The Company warrants its products for various periods against defects in material or installation workmanship. The manufacturer warranty on the solar panels and the inverters have a warranty period range of 5 - 25 years. The Company assists the customer in the event that the manufacturer warranty needs to be used to replace a defected panel or inverter. The Company provides for a 5-year warranty on the installation of a system and all equipment and incidental supplies other than solar panels and inverters that are covered under the manufacturer warranty. The Company records a provision for the installation warranty, within cost of sales, based on historical experience and future expectations of the probable cost to be incurred in honoring its warranty commitment. The provision for the installation warranty is included within “Accrued warranty” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The provision for installation warranty consists of the following:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The interpretation applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption should be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements in accounting pronouncements where fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157 on its definition and measurement of fair value and disclosure requirements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective for the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has determined that the guidance in SAB 108 does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows entities the option to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value as of specified dates. Such election, which may be applied on an instrument by instrument basis, is typically irrevocable once elected. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and early application is allowed under certain circumstances. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

5. Assets Acquired

On September 29, 2006, the Company executed an Account Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), whereby the Company purchased customer contracts, fixed assets and a customer listing from an individual (the “Seller”) who, subsequent to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, became an employee of the Company. This employee has been hired to expand the Company’s operations into Fresno, California. Customer contracts of approximately $109,000 are included within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $109,000. The customer contracts were amortized over the period during which they were completed. Fixed assets purchased of approximately $37,000 are included within “Property and equipment, net” and the customer listing valued at approximately $354,000 is included within “Customer list, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $151,000 at June 30, 2007. The customer list is being amortized over an eighteen month period. Upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Seller received approximately $196,000 and during January 2007, received approximately $176,000 in the Company’s common stock, based upon the weighted average closing price of the shares. The $176,000 was settled in 54,621 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 9). The total assets purchased under the Purchase Agreement were approximately $500,000 which consisted of the customer contracts valued at approximately $109,000, fixed assets of approximately $37,000, and a customer list valued at approximately $354,000. Customer deposit liabilities of approximately $51,000

were assumed by the Company at the time of the purchase of the customer contracts, fixed assets and a customer list. Additionally, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Seller received cash of $77,000 during April 2007. If certain revenue milestone amounts are attained, the Seller may receive 29,481 and 27,143 shares of the Company’s common stock during 2007 and 2008, respectively. Additionally, per the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Seller is entitled to receive 14,286 shares of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2008, as long as the Seller remains employed by the Company at that time. The additional shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued to the Seller based upon the Seller’s attainment of certain revenue milestone amounts will be treated as compensation expense and are limited to a maximum of 200,000 shares per the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Concurrent with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an employment agreement with the Seller which provides for, among other things, an annual base salary of $120,000 and expires December 31, 2008. There are automatic one-year renewals unless written notice is given within 30 days of the end of the term by either party. Under the terms of the employment agreement, the Seller has also agreed not to compete with the Company in Fresno, California, in the solar installation business for one year upon termination of employment.

6. Acquisitions

On May 3, 2007, the Company purchased customer contracts and fixed assets, and assumed certain liabilities, from Alternative Energy, Inc. (“AEI”), a California corporation, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement with AEI and its principal shareholders (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) for approximately $100,000 ($20,000 of which is payable by December 31, 2007 and is included within “Deferred purchase price payable” within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007) and 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 9). Additionally, the Company assumed AEI vehicle loans and leases and also assumed an operating lease for AEI's offices located in Santa Rosa, California, which expires in September 2008 and provides for monthly rent payments of approximately $2,600. As per the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased fixed assets valued at approximately $102,000 and customer contracts valued at approximately $97,000. The Company recorded approximately $319,000 of goodwill acquired in connection with the AEI transaction. The Company assumed approximately $94,000 in vehicle loans and leases, which includes approximately $31,000 for a capital lease, and also assumed customer deposit liabilities of approximately $9,000 relating to the customer contracts purchased. Fixed assets purchased of approximately $102,000 are included within “Property and equipment, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007. Customer contracts of approximately $97,000 are included within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $8,000. The customer contracts are being amortized over the period during which they are completed, which will range from 3-12 months from the purchase date of these contracts. Goodwill of approximately $319,000 is included within “Goodwill” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007.

Concurrent with the execution of the business combination under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a two-year employment agreement with one of the principal shareholders of AEI, as regional sales manager of its Santa Rosa, California office. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $120,000, performance-based bonus compensation if certain sales goals are achieved payable in shares of our common stock, and severance payments. This employment agreement expires on June 1, 2009. This Santa Rosa regional sales manager has also agreed not to compete with the Company in the solar installation business for four years in Marin, Lake and Sonoma counties, and parts of Napa and Mendocino counties, in the State of California. As this transaction with AEI does not meet the significant asset test, pro forma financial information is not being provided within this Form 10-QSB.

8. Credit facility

On December 19, 2006, the Company entered into a master revolving note with Comerica Bank (the “2006 Credit Facility”), with a maturity date of January 1, 2008, to replace the Company’s previous credit facility with Citibank West FSB dated August 31, 2005. On January 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Comerica Bank for a $2.0 million line of credit (the “2007 Credit Facility”) to replace the Company’s 2006 Credit Facility dated December 19, 2006. On June 26, 2007, the 2007 Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, (i) increase the line of credit from $2.0 million to $7.5 million, (ii) reduce the interest rate to Prime minus 0.5% and (iii) change the maturity date of the 2007 Credit Facility from January 1, 2008 to August 1, 2008, at which time all amounts under the 2007 Credit Facility will become due and payable.

As of June 30, 2007, approximately $3.5 million was outstanding under the 2007 Credit Facility and no additional borrowing capacity was available at June 30, 2007. Interest on the outstanding balance under the 2007 Credit Facility is calculated on the prime rate (“Prime”) minus 0.5%. Interest was calculated based on Prime minus 0.5% (7.75%) at June 30, 2007. Under the 2007 Credit Facility, the Company can borrow against 80% of Eligible Accounts Receivable plus 50% of Inventory Availability (as such terms are defined in the monthly borrowing base report provided to Comerica Bank as per the terms of the 2007 Credit Facility), up to a maximum loan amount of $7.5 million. As of June 30, 2007, 80% of the Company’s Eligible Accounts Receivable was approximately $1.8 million, and 50% of Inventory Availability was approximately $1.9 million. All of the existing property and assets of the Company are pledged as collateral for the 2007 Credit Facility.

The Company is required to achieve certain performance objectives under its 2007 Credit Facility, based upon its forecasted results of operations. While management believes these objectives are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those projected, which may adversely affect the Company’s ability to meet one or more of the financial covenants. If a violation of a financial covenant occurs, the Company is required to obtain a waiver letter from Comerica Bank. At June 30, 2007, the Company was in violation of a financial covenant and obtained the necessary waiver letter to be in compliance as of June 30, 2007.
 
9. Stockholders’ equity

The Company was incorporated in 2001 as a Subchapter S corporation. During June 2006, the Company became a C corporation in the State of Delaware. On August 11, 2006, the Company entered into a reverse merger transaction with Fairview as discussed in Note 1. Pursuant to the Merger, the stockholders of Akeena Solar received one share of Fairview common stock for each issued and outstanding share of Akeena Solar common stock, which totaled 8,000,000 shares. In addition, in connection with the reverse merger, the Company’s 1,000,000 outstanding warrants were exchanged for warrants of Fairview. The warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised and 1,000,000 shares of common stock were issued during 2006 at the exercise price of $0.01, for approximately $10,000. Akeena Solar’s common shares were also adjusted from $0.01 par value to $0.001 par value at the time of the Merger. Subsequent to the closing of the Merger, the closing of the Private Placement of 3,217,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an issue price of $1.00 per share for a total of $3,217,500, net of placement agent fees of $131,539, and the cancellation of 3,877,477 shares of Fairview common stock, the former stockholders of Akeena Solar held a majority of Fairview’s outstanding common stock. The $131,539 of placement agent fees were comprised of $61,500 in cash fees paid and warrants to purchase 61,500 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $70,039 (see Note 11). Since the stockholders of Akeena Solar own a majority of the outstanding shares of Fairview common stock immediately following the Merger, and the management and board of Akeena Solar became the management and board of Fairview immediately following the Merger, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger transaction and Akeena Solar was deemed to be the acquirer. The assets, liabilities and the historical operations prior to the Merger are those of Akeena Solar. Subsequent to the Merger, the consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of Akeena Solar and Fairview, and the historical operations of Akeena Solar and the operations of Fairview from the closing date of the Merger.

During January 2007, 54,621 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued at a value of approximately $176,000 in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement as described in Note 5. During March 2007, the Company issued 2,062,304 shares of common stock and raised approximately $4.1 million under a private placement offering (the “March 2007 Private Placement”). Placement agent fees and registration fees relating to the March 2007 Private Placement include warrants to purchase 79,976 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $122,308 (see Note 11). During May 2007, 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued at a value of approximately $314,000 in accordance with the terms of the business combination under the Asset Purchase Agreement as described in Note 6. During June 2007, the Company issued 4,567,270 shares of common stock and raised approximately $12.6 million under a private placement offering (the “June 2007 Private Placement”). Placement agent fees and registration fees relating to the June 2007 Private Placement include warrants to purchase 385,964 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $880,219 (see Note 11). Placement agent fees and registration fees relating to the March 2007 Private Placement and the June 2007 Private Placement include cash fees paid of approximately $1.0 million.

10

 
If the registration statements covering the March 2007 Private Placement and the June 2007 Private Placement cease for any reason to remain continuously effective for up to two years, or if the holders of the securities covered by the registration statements are otherwise not permitted to utilize the prospectus’ included in the registration statements to resell any securities covered by the registration statements for more than 15 consecutive calendar days or more than 20 calendar days during any 12-month period (which need not to be consecutive calendar days), then each investor in the March 2007 Private Placement and the June 2007 Private Placement will be entitled to liquidated damages equal to 1% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by that investor, and an additional 1% for each month of delinquency. In no event, however, will liquidated damages exceed 9% of the gross proceeds of the March 2007 Private Placement and the June 2007 Private Placement.

10. Stock Incentive Plan

On August 8, 2006, Akeena Solar adopted the Akeena Solar, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) pursuant to which 450,000 shares of common stock were available for issuance to employees, directors and consultants under the Stock Plan as restricted stock and/or stock options. On December 20, 2006, the Stock Plan was amended to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Stock Plan from 450,000 shares to 1,000,000 shares.

Restricted stock and stock options may be issued under the Stock Plan. The restriction period on the restricted shares granted shall generally expire at a rate of 25% a year over four years, unless decided otherwise by the Company’s Board of Directors. Upon the lapse of the restriction period, the grantee shall become entitled to receive a stock certificate evidencing the common shares, and the restrictions shall cease to exist. The following table sets forth a summary of restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2007:
        
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Number of Restricted Shares
 
Outstanding and not vested at January 1, 2007
 
 
354,622
 
 
Granted during 2007
 
 
429,123
 
 
Forfeited/cancelled during 2007
 
 
(47,932
)
 
Released/vested during 2007
 
 
(70,560
)
 
Outstanding and not vested at June 30, 2007
 
 
665,253
 
 
    
           
The restricted stock is valued at the grant date fair value of the common stock and expensed over the requisite service period or vesting period. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $271,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 relating to compensation expense calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 123 - revised 2004, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) for restricted stock granted under the Stock Plan. SFAS 123R requires the estimation of forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and that this estimate of forfeitures be adjusted over the requisite service period should actual forfeitures differ from such estimates. At June 30, 2007, there was approximately $1.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the non-vested restricted shares granted. Stock-based compensation expense relating to these restricted shares is being recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years. SFAS 123R requires the cash flows as a result of the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. There are no excess tax benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and therefore, there is no impact on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows.

11. Stock options and stock warrants

The Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”) provides for the issuance of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options. The Company’s Board of Directors, which, subject to the terms of the 2001 Plan, determines to whom grants are made, and the vesting, timing, amounts and other terms of such grants. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company, while non-statutory stock options may be granted to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors. Options under the Plan vest as determined by the Board of Directors, but in no event at a rate less than 20% per year. The term of the options granted under the 2001 Plan may not exceed 10 years and the maximum aggregate shares that may be issued upon exercise of such options is 4,000,000 shares of common stock. No options have been granted under the 2001 Plan as of June 30, 2007.

During August and September 2006, the Company issued warrants to purchase 61,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share of $1.00 to the placement agent that sold 41 units under the Private Placement. The fair value of these warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 4.9%, an expected life of three years, an expected volatility factor or 103.3% and a dividend yield of 0.0%. The value assigned to these warrants under the Black-Scholes estimate is approximately $70,000.

11

 
During March 2007, the Company issued warrants to purchase 79,976 shares of the Company’s common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.97 - $2.75 per share in connection with the March 2007 Private Placement. The fair value of these warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 4.5%, an expected life of three years, an expected volatility factor or 103.3% and a dividend yield of 0.0%. The value assigned to these warrants under the Black-Scholes estimate is approximately $122,000.

In connection with the $4.1 million raised under the March 2007 Private Placement and the issuance of 2,062,304 shares of common stock to the investors, the Company also issued to the investors in the March 2007 Private Placement warrants to purchase 412,460 shares of the Company’s common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $2.75 - 3.00 per share. Using the Black-Scholes pricing model, the relative fair value of the warrants issued to the investors under the March 2007 Private Placement was approximately $779,000. The total relative fair value of the common stock and the warrants issued to investors under the March 2007 Private Placement was approximately $4.7 million.

During June 2007, the Company issued warrants to purchase 385,964 shares of the Company’s common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.75 - $3.95 per share in connection with the June 2007 Private Placement. The fair value of these warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 4.9%, an expected life of three years, an expected volatility factor of 96.9% and a dividend yield of 0.0%. The value assigned to these warrants under the Black-Scholes estimate is approximately $880,000.

In connection with the $12.6 million raised under the June 2007 Private Placement and the issuance of 4,567,270 shares of common stock to the investors, the Company also issued to the investors in the June 2007 Private Placement warrants to purchase 913,455 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price of $3.95 per share. Using the Black-Scholes pricing model, the relative fair value of the warrants issued to the investors under the June 2007 Private Placement was approximately $2.4 million. The total relative fair value of the common stock and the warrants issued to investors under the June 2007 Private Placement was approximately $14.6 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, warrants to purchase 101,522 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised. Therefore, as of June 30, 2007, warrants to purchase 1,751,833 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding and exercisable.

12. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods plus the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, basic earnings per share is the same as diluted earnings per share as a result of the Company’s common stock equivalents being anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. The Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as of June 30, 2006 does not include the underlying shares exercisable relating to the issuance of 1,000,000 warrants outstanding at June 30, 2006, exercisable at $0.01 per share. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” the Company has given effect to the issuance of these warrants in computing basic net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock were exercised and issued during the fourth quarter of 2006, and are therefore included in the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as of June 30, 2007.

At June 30, 2007, warrants to purchase 1,751,833 shares of the Company’s common stock and 665,253 non-vested restricted shares, net of forfeitures, (see Note 10) are dilutive securities that may dilute future earnings per share.

The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding of 17,963,434 and 9,000,000 as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, used to calculate basic earnings per share include 1,000,000 contingently issuable warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock. Such warrants were exercised for 1,000,000 shares of common stock during the fourth quarter of 2006.

13. Related party transactions

The Chief Executive Officer of the Company is a director of Akeena Wireless, Inc. (“AWI”) and is currently a custodian for AWI. The Company has an amount due from this related party for expenses of approximately $22,000 paid by the Company on behalf of AWI, which are recorded as “Due from related party” within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

14. Income Taxes

As the Company was a Subchapter S corporation until June 2006, any taxable income or loss of the S corporation through June 2006 was included within the sole stockholder’s income for federal and state income tax purposes.

12

 
Deferred income taxes arise from timing differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial account and tax purposes in different periods. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, there was no income tax expense or benefit for federal and state income taxes in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations due to the Company’s net loss and a valuation allowance on the resulting deferred tax asset.

15. Commitments and contingencies

Litigation

The Company is involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such proceedings will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Employment Agreements

The Company has an employment agreement with an employee which provides for an annual base salary of $120,000 and expires December 31, 2008. There are automatic one-year renewals unless written notice is given within 30 days of the end of the term by either party. The Company has another employment agreement with an employee which provides for an annual base salary of $120,000 and expires June 1, 2009.

16. Subsequent events

During July 2007, warrants to purchase 126,660 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised. During August 2007, the Company granted an aggregate of 48,000 shares of restricted common stock under the Stock Plan to an advisor for services provided to the Company.

We maintain installation offices at all of our California offices and at our Fairfield, New Jersey facility.
 
On August 11, 2006, we entered into a reverse merger transaction (the “Merger”) with Fairview Energy Corporation, Inc. (“Fairview”). Since the stockholders of Akeena Solar owned a majority of the outstanding shares of Fairview common stock immediately following the Merger, and the management and board of Akeena Solar became the management and board of Fairview immediately following the Merger, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger transaction and Akeena Solar was deemed to be the acquirer.
 
On September 29, 2006, we purchased certain solar electric energy generation customers contracts, certain fixed assets and a customer list from Jeffrey Brown d/b/a Solahart All Valley Energy Systems, a Fresno-based installer of solar energy systems, solar hot water systems and solar pool heaters (“Solahart”), and hired Mr. Brown to help expand our business in the Fresno, California area. The total assets purchased under the agreement were approximately $423,000 which consisted of customer contracts valued at approximately $109,000, fixed assets of approximately $37,000, and a customer list valued at approximately $277,000. Solahart customer deposit liabilities of approximately $51,000 were assumed by us at the time of the purchase of the customer contracts, fixed assets and the customer listing. Upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Brown received approximately $196,000 and during January 2007, received 54,621 shares of our common stock, based upon the weighted average closing price of the shares. During April 2007, we paid $77,000 to Mr. Brown in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. We will issue up to an additional 200,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Brown upon our achieving certain revenue milestones. Mr. Brown has agreed not to compete with us with respect to photovoltaic customers and not to solicit our employees or customers in Fresno, California for 12 months after his employment with us terminates. Solahart remains as an operating entity focusing on solar water heating installations used in swimming pool and residential water heating.
 
On May 3, 2007, Akeena Corp., our wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased customer contracts and fixed assets, and assumed certain liabilities, from Alternative Energy, Inc. (“AEI”), a California corporation, pursuant to a business combination under an asset purchase agreement with AEI and its principal shareholders (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) for $100,000 cash ($20,000 of which is payable by December 31, 2007), 100,000 shares of our common stock, and the assumption of three vehicle leases and an operating lease for  

14

 
AEI’s offices located in Santa Rosa, California, which expires in September 2008 and provides for monthly rent payments of approximately $2,600. Concurrent with the execution of the business combination under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Akeena Corp. entered into a two-year employment agreement with Christopher Frye, as regional sales manager of its Santa Rosa, California office. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $120,000, performance-based bonus compensation if certain sales goals are achieved payable in shares of the Company’s common stock, and severance payments. Mr. Frye has also agreed not to compete with us in the solar installation business for four years in Marin, Lake and Sonoma counties, and parts of Napa and Mendocino counties, in the State of California.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 as compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
 
     Net sales

     Net sales totaled $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2006, or an increase of 167.1%. The increase was due to a higher volume of both residential and commercial installations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 2006. The increased volume reflects both the widening acceptance of photovoltaic technology on the consumer level, and a steadily accelerating pace of installations during 2007. At June 30, 2007, we were operating six offices in California and one office in New Jersey, as compared to just one office in California and one office in New Jersey at June 30, 2006.

     Cost of sales

     Cost of sales, including all installation expenses, during the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 76.4% of net sales, as compared to 74.6% in 2006. This is the result of higher equipment costs during the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of the prior year, offset by better absorption of engineering and semi-fixed installation expenses. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 23.6% of net sales, as compared to 25.4% in 2006.

     Sales and marketing expenses

     Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were 17.5% of net sales as compared to 10.3% of net sales during the same period of the prior year. Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $290,000 for the same period in 2006. This increase is mainly due to higher sales commissions and higher sales and marketing payroll and employee benefits expenses during the second quarter of 2007. We employed an additional 28 sales and marketing employees as of June 30, 2007, as compared to June 30, 2006. In addition, we incurred increased advertising, public relations and internet marketing expenditures, as well as additional trade shows and conferences expenditures during the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of the prior year.

15

 
General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were 31.4% of net sales as compared to 23.4% of net sales during the same period of the prior year. General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to approximately $660,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. We employed an additional 39 general and administrative employees as of June 30, 2007 as compared to June 30, 2006. Additionally, we incurred stock-based compensation expense relating to restricted stock granted under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan during the three months ended June 30, 2007, which was an incremental cost as compared to the same period of the prior year.
 
Interest expense
 
A credit line of $7.5 million is available to us under our credit facility with Comerica Bank (the “2007 Credit Facility”), as evidenced by a loan and security agreement with Comerica Bank, entered into on January 29, 2007 and amended on June 26, 2007. Interest expense was approximately $21,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and this related primarily to our 2007 Credit Facility, including credit facility loan fees of approximately $2,000. Interest expense was approximately $13,000 during the same period in 2006, which related primarily to our previous credit facility with Citibank (West) FSB.
 
Income taxes
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, there was no income tax expense or benefit for federal and state income taxes in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations due to the Company’s net loss and a valuation allowance on the resulting deferred tax asset. The Company did not record a provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as the Company was a Subchapter S corporation until June 2006, and any taxable income or loss of the S corporation is included within the stockholder’s income for federal and state income tax purposes through June 2006.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 as compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
 
Net sales
 
Net sales totaled $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2006, or an increase of 160.3%. The increase was due to a higher volume of both residential and commercial installations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 2006. The increased volume reflects both the widening acceptance of photovoltaic technology on the consumer level, and a steadily accelerating pace of installations during 2007. At June 30, 2007, we were operating six offices in California and one office in New Jersey, as compared to just one office in California and one office in New Jersey at June 30, 2006.
 
Cost of sales
 
Cost of sales, including all installation expenses, during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 76.3% of net sales, as compared to 75.8% in 2006. This is the result of higher equipment costs during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of the prior year, offset by better absorption of engineering and semi-fixed installation expenses. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 23.7% of net sales, as compared to 24.2% in 2006.
 
Sales and marketing expenses
 
Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were 15.0% of net sales as compared to 8.3% of net sales during the same period of the prior year. Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $441,000 for the same period in 2006. This increase is mainly due to higher sales commissions and higher sales and marketing payroll and employee benefits expenses during 2007. We employed an additional 28 sales and marketing employees during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of the prior year. In addition, we incurred increased advertising, public relations and internet marketing expenditures, as well as additional trade shows and conferences expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
 
General and administrative expenses
 
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were 29.0% of net sales as compared to 19.7% of net sales during the same period of the prior year. General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to approximately $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. General and administrative expenses for legal, accounting and other professional services increased approximately $485,000 due primarily to costs associated with the additional costs incurred during 2007 as a result of being a public company. We also employed an additional 39 general and administrative employees during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of the prior year. Additionally, we incurred stock-based compensation expense relating to restricted stock granted under our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2007, which was an incremental cost as compared to the same period of the prior year.

16

 
Interest expense
 
Interest expense was approximately $48,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and this related primarily to our 2007 Credit Facility, including credit facility loan fees of approximately $2,000. Interest expense was approximately $26,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, which related primarily to our previous credit facility with Citibank (West) FSB.
 
Income taxes
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, there was no income tax expense or benefit for federal and state income taxes in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations due to the Company’s net loss and a valuation allowance on the resulting deferred tax asset. The Company did not record a provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as the Company was a Subchapter S corporation until June 2006, and any taxable income or loss of the S corporation is included within the stockholder’s income for federal and state income tax purposes through June 2006.

Liquidity and capital resources
 
Prior to the Merger, we funded our operations through our credit facility with Citibank (West) FSB and cash provided by operating activities.
 
In connection with the Merger, we completed the closing of a private placement of our common stock in which we sold an aggregate of 128.7 units to accredited investors (the “Private Placement”). Each unit consisted of 25,000 shares of our common stock. As a result of the Private Placement, we issued a total of 3,217,500 shares of our common stock. Some units were offered by Westminster Securities Corporation, pursuant to the terms of a placement agent agreement dated July 21, 2006. The placement agent received (i) a cash fee of $61,500 (representing 6% of the gross proceeds of the units sold by it in the Private Placement) and (ii) three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 61,500 shares of our common stock (representing 6% of the shares sold by it in the Private Placement) at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. We realized gross proceeds of approximately $3.2 million from the Private Placement before commissions and expenses.
 
On December 19, 2006, we issued a master revolving note between us and Comerica Bank (the “Master Revolving Note”, or the “2006 Credit Facility”) to replace our previous credit facility with Citibank (West) FSB dated August 31, 2005. On January 29, 2007, we replaced the 2006 Credit Facility with the 2007 Credit Facility. Using proceeds from the 2007 Credit Facility, we satisfied all of our outstanding obligations under the Master Revolving Note resulting in the termination of the Master Revolving Note and related security agreement. The guaranty to Comerica Bank executed on December 19, 2006 by Barry Cinnamon, our President and Chief Executive Officer, in connection with the Master Revolving Note (the “Guaranty”), is no longer in effect with respect to our obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility.
 
The 2007 Credit Facility is evidenced by a loan and security agreement with Comerica Bank, entered into on January 29, 2007 and amended on June 26, 2007 (the “Security Agreement”). Borrowings under the 2007 Credit Facility bear interest at prime minus 0.5%, payable on the first of each month. The 2007 Credit Facility matures on August 1, 2008, at which time all outstanding amounts will become due and payable. The Security Agreement grants Comerica Bank a first priority security interest in all of our assets, now owned or later acquired, to secure timely repayment of the 2007 Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $3.5 million was outstanding under the 2007 Credit Facility. Interest on the outstanding balance under the 2007 Credit Facility was calculated based on Prime minus 0.5% (7.75%) at June 30, 2007. The Company is required to achieve certain performance objectives under its 2007 Credit Facility, based upon its forecasted results of operations. While we believe these objectives are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those projected, which may adversely affect our ability to meet one or more of our financial covenants. If a violation of a financial covenant occurs, we are required to obtain a waiver letter from Comerica Bank. At June 30, 2007, the Company was in violation of a financial covenant and obtained the necessary waiver letter to be in compliance as of June 30, 2007.
 
On March 8, 2007, we closed a private placement offering to accredited investors (the “March 2007 Private Placement”) in which we realized gross proceeds of approximately $4.1 million, before commissions and expenses. In connection with the March 2007 Private Placement closing, we issued to investors an aggregate of 2,062,304 shares of common stock and (i) three-year warrants to purchase 206,230 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.75 per share, and (ii) three-year warrants to purchase 206,230 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Empire Financial Group, Inc. acted as placement agent with respect to the offering and received (i) a cash fee of $124,250 and (ii) a three-year warrant to purchase 53,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. The Westly Group acted as a finder with respect to the offering and received (i) a cash fee of $35,000 and (ii) a three-year warrant to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. Westminster Securities Corporation also received a finder’s fee of $21,000 and a three-year warrant to purchase 11,726 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.97 per share. On April 6, 2007 we filed a registration statement with the SEC covering the shares of common stock issued in the March 2007 Private Placement and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the March 2007 Private Placement. Such registration statement became effective on April 16, 2007. If such registration statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective for up to two years, or if the holders of the securities covered by the registration statement are otherwise not permitted to utilize the prospectus included in the registration statement to resell any securities covered by

17

 
the registration statement for more than 15 consecutive calendar days or more than 20 calendar days during any 12-month period (which need not to be consecutive calendar days), then each investor in the March 2007 Private Placement will be entitled to liquidated damages equal to 1% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by that investor in the March 2007 Private Placement, and an additional 1% for each month of delinquency. In no event, however, will liquidated damages exceed 9% of the gross proceeds of the March 2007 Private Placement.
 
On June 4, 2007, we closed a private placement offering to accredited investors (the “June 2007 Private Placement”) in which we realized gross proceeds of approximately $12.6 million, before commissions and expenses. In connection with the closing of the June 2007 Private Placement, we issued to investors an aggregate of 4,567,270 shares of common stock and three-year warrants to purchase 913,455 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.95 per share. Empire Financial Group, Inc. acted as placement agent with respect to the June 2007 Private Placement and received (i) a cash fee of $633,850 and (ii) a three-year warrant to purchase 376,800 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.95 per share. Westminster Securities Corporation also received a finder's fee of $21,000 and a three-year warrant to purchase 9,164 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. On July 3, 2007, we filed a registration statement with the SEC covering the shares of common stock sold in the June 2007 Private Placement and shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued in the June 2007 Private Placement. Such registration statement was declared effective on July 24, 2007. If such registration statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective for up to two years, or the holders of the securities covered by the registration statement are otherwise not permitted to utilize the prospectus included in the registration statement to resell any securities covered by the registration statement for more than 15 consecutive calendar days or more than 20 calendar days during any 12-month period (which need not to be consecutive calendar days), then each investor in the June 2007 Private Placement will be entitled to liquidated damages equal to 1% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by that investor in the June 2007 Private Placement, and an additional 1% for each month of delinquency. In no event, however, will liquidated damages exceed 9% of the gross proceeds of the June 2007 Private Placement.

Cash paid for placement agent fees and finders fees for the March 2007 Private Placement were $180,250. Cash paid for placement agent fees and finders fees for the June 2007 Private Placement were $654,850. Cash paid for other direct professional and registration fees incurred relating to the March 2007 Private Placement and the June 2007 Private Placement were $192,643.
    
    Our primary capital requirement is to fund purchases of solar panels and inverters. Significant sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, working capital, borrowings from our revolving line of credit and equity proceeds raised. As of June 30, 2007 we had approximately $14.1 million in cash on hand and no additional borrowing capacity was available under our 2007 Credit Facility at June 30, 2007.

    Cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $(5.3) million and approximately $(196,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Large purchases of solar panel inventory occurred during the first six months of 2007 in preparation for installation on various residential and commercial jobs, in addition to an increase in our overall accounts receivable balances. Similarly, accounts payable rose in response to the increase in inventory purchases as a result of the increase in overall revenue levels. We believe a high level of inventory is a significant benefit in our industry. Panels may be difficult to procure and are generally immediately fungible.

    Cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $(899,000) and $0, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we acquired vehicles, office equipment, office furniture and other fixed assets primarily for our new corporate office location and for our most recently added Fresno, Orange County, Bakersfield, Manteca and Santa Rosa office locations.

     Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities were approximately $19.3 million and approximately $(23,000), respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we raised proceeds of approximately $16.6 million, before cash paid for placement agent fees and registration fees of approximately $(1.0) million, from the issuance of our common stock under two private placements. In addition, we borrowed approximately $3.0 million under our 2007 Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Application of critical accounting policies and estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the years ending December 31, 2006 and 2005 provides a summary of our significant accounting policies, which are all in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States. Certain of our accounting policies are critical to understanding our consolidated financial statements, because their application requires management to make assumptions about future results and depends to a large extent on management’s judgment, because past results have fluctuated and are expected to continue to do so in the future.
 
We believe that the application of the accounting policies described in the following paragraphs is highly dependent on critical estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and highly susceptible to change. For all these policies, we caution that future events rarely develop exactly as estimated, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those discussed below.
 
Revenue recognition. Revenue from sales of products is recognized when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the sale price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue upon completion of a system installation.
 
Long-lived assets. We periodically review our property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. Assumptions and estimates used in the evaluation of impairment may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets, which could result in impairment charges in future periods. Significant assumptions and estimates include the projected cash flows based upon estimated revenue and expense growth rates and the discount rate applied to expected cash flows. In addition, our depreciation and amortization policies reflect judgments on the estimated useful lives of assets.

Seasonality
 
Our quarterly installation and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of seasonal changes in State or Federal subsidies as well as weather. Historically, sales are highest during the third and fourth quarters as a result of good weather and robust bookings in the second quarter.

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK
 
There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.
 
The success of our business depends on the continuing contributions of Barry Cinnamon and other key personnel who may terminate their employment with us at any time, and we will need to hire additional qualified personnel.
 
We rely heavily on the services of Barry Cinnamon, our Chief Executive Officer, as well as several other management personnel. Loss of the services of any of such individuals would adversely impact our operations. In addition, we believe our technical personnel represent a significant asset and provide us with a competitive advantage over many of our competitors and that our future success will depend upon our ability to retain these key employees and our ability to attract and retain other skilled financial, engineering, technical and managerial personnel. None of our key personnel are party to any employment agreements with us and management and other employees may voluntarily terminate their employment at any time. We do not currently maintain any “key man” life insurance with respect to any of such individuals.
 
We are dependent upon our suppliers for the components used in the systems we design and install; and our major suppliers are dependent upon the continued availability and pricing of silicon and other raw materials used in solar modules.
 
The components used in our systems are purchased from a limited number of manufacturers. In particular, Sharp, Kyocera and SunPower account for over 90% of our purchases of photovoltaic modules. We do not manufacture any of the components used in our solar installations. We are subject to market prices for the components that we purchase for our installations, which are subject to fluctuation. We cannot ensure that the prices charged by our suppliers will not increase because of changes in market conditions or other factors beyond our control. An increase in the price of components used in our systems could result in an increase in costs to our customers and could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and demand for our services. Our suppliers are dependent upon the availability and pricing of silicon, one of the main materials used in manufacturing solar panels. The world market for solar panels recently experienced a shortage of supply due to insufficient availability of silicon. This shortage caused the prices for solar modules to increase. Interruptions in our ability to procure needed components for our systems, whether due to discontinuance by our suppliers, delays or failures in delivery, shortages caused by inadequate production capacity or unavailability, or for other reasons, would adversely affect or limit our sales and growth. In addition, increases in the prices of modules could make systems that have been sold but not yet installed unprofitable for us. There is no assurance that we will continue to find qualified manufacturers on acceptable terms and, if we do, there can be no assurance that product quality will continue to be acceptable, which could lead to a loss of sales and revenues.
 
Geographical business expansion efforts we make could result in difficulties in successfully managing our business and consequently harm our financial condition.
 
As part of our business strategy, we may seek to expand by acquiring competing businesses or customer contracts in our current or other geographic markets. We face challenges in managing expanding product and service offerings and in integrating acquired businesses with our own. Most recently we commenced operations at our Bakersfield, Manteca and Santa Rosa offices in California. We recently commenced operations in Fresno, California, through the purchase of customer contracts, and additionally, we opened an office in Orange County, California. We currently intend to seek additional locations for expansion. We cannot accurately predict the timing, size and success of our expansion efforts and the associated capital commitments that might be required. We expect to face competition for expansion candidates, which may limit the number of expansion opportunities available to us and may lead to higher expansion costs. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional businesses/contracts or successfully integrate acquired businesses/contracts, if any, into our company, without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial difficulties. In addition, expansion efforts involve a number of other risks, including:
 
 
 
Failure of the expansion efforts to achieve expected results;
 
 
Diversion of management’s attention and resources to expansion efforts;
 
 
Failure to retain key customers or personnel of the acquired businesses; and
 
 
Risks associated with unanticipated events, liabilities or contingencies.
 
Client dissatisfaction or performance problems at a single acquired business could negatively affect our reputation. The inability to acquire businesses on reasonable terms or successfully integrate and manage acquired companies, or the occurrence of performance problems at acquired companies, could result in dilution, unfavorable accounting charges and difficulties in successfully managing our business.

Because our industry is highly competitive and has low barriers to entry, we may lose market share to larger companies that are better equipped to weather a deterioration in market conditions due to increased competition.
 
Our industry is highly competitive and fragmented, is subject to rapid change and has low barriers to entry. We may in the future compete for potential customers with solar and HVAC systems installers and servicers, electricians, utilities and other providers of solar power equipment or electric power. Some of these competitors may have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources and greater name recognition than we have.
 
We believe that our ability to compete depends in part on a number of factors outside of our control, including:

    the ability of our competitors to hire, retain and motivate qualified technical personnel;
     the ownership by competitors of proprietary tools to customize systems to the needs of a particular customer;
     the price at which others offer comparable services and equipment;
     the extent of our competitors’ responsiveness to client needs; and
     installation technology.

Competition in the solar power services industry may increase in the future, partly due to low barriers to entry, as well as from other alternative energy resources now in existence or developed in the future. Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share and greater competition for qualified technical personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. If we are unable to compete effectively, or if competition results in a deterioration of market conditions, our business and results of operations would be adversely affected.
 
Our profitability depends, in part, on our success on brand recognition and we could lose our competitive advantage if we are not able to protect our trademark against infringement, and any related litigation could be time-consuming and costly.
 
We believe our brand has gained substantial recognition by customers in certain geographic areas. We have registered the “Akeena” trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Use of our name or a similar name by competitors in geographic areas in which we have not yet operated could adversely affect our ability to use or gain protection for our brand in those markets, which could weaken our brand and harm our business and competitive position. In addition, any litigation relating to protecting our trademark against infringement could be time consuming and costly.
 
If we are unable to attract, train and retain highly qualified personnel, the quality of our services may decline and we may not successfully execute our internal growth strategies.
 
Our success depends in large part upon our ability to continue to attract, train, motivate and retain highly skilled and experienced employees, including technical personnel. Qualified technical employees periodically are in great demand and may be unavailable in the time frame required to satisfy our customers’ requirements. While we currently have available technical expertise sufficient for the requirements of our business, expansion of our business could require us to employ additional highly skilled technical personnel. We expect competition for such personnel to increase as the market for solar power systems expands. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled technical employees in the future. The loss of personnel or our inability to hire or retain sufficient personnel at competitive rates of compensation could impair our ability to secure and complete customer engagements and could harm our business.
 
Unexpected warranty expenses or service claims could reduce our profits.
 
We maintain a warranty reserve on our balance sheet for potential warranty or service claims that could occur in the future. This reserve is adjusted based on our ongoing operating experience with equipment and installations. It is possible, perhaps due to bad supplier material or defective installations, that we would have actual expenses substantially in excess of the reserves we maintain. Our failure to accurately predict future warranty claims could result in unexpected profit volatility.
 
Our Module technology is untested and may not be effective or patentable or may encounter other unexpected problems, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
 
Our Module technology is new and has not been tested in installation settings for a sufficient period of time to prove its long-term effectiveness and benefits. The Module technology may not be effective or other problems may occur that are unexpected and could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. While patent applications have been filed for the Module technology, a patent may not be issued on such technology or we may not be able to realize the benefits from any patent that is issued.

Our obligations under our credit facility are secured by all of our assets, so if the lender forecloses on its security interest, we may have to liquidate some or all of our assets, which may cause us to cease operations.
 
Our obligations under the 2007 loan and security agreement with Comerica Bank are secured by all of our assets. (See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation — Liquidity and Capital Resources”). If we default under the credit facility we could be required to repay all of our borrowings thereunder. In addition, Comerica could foreclose its security interest and liquidate some or all of our assets, which could cause us to cease operations.
 
We are subject to restrictive covenants in connection with our credit facility that may limit our ability to borrow additional funds or to raise additional equity as may be required to fund our future operations.
 
The terms of the 2007 credit facility with Comerica may limit our ability, without Comerica’s consent, to, among other things, enter into certain transactions and create additional liens on our assets and could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to attract additional funding if required for our business.
 
Our Chief Executive Officer, Barry Cinnamon, beneficially owns a significant number of shares of our common stock, which will have an impact on all major decisions on which our stockholders may vote and which may discourage an acquisition of the Company.
 
Barry Cinnamon, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns, in the aggregate, approximately 34.0% of our outstanding common stock. The interests of our Chief Executive Officer may differ from the interests of other stockholders. As a result, Mr. Cinnamon will have the ability to significantly impact virtually all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, vote, including the following actions:

   election of our directors;
   the amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws;
   the merger of our company or the sale of our assets or other corporate transaction; and
   controlling the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote.
    
Mr. Cinnamon’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of our common stock or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

Item 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Remediation Plan for Previously Identified Material Weaknesses

During the process of preparing our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, our management identified the following material weaknesses as of December 31, 2006. The material weakness was an insufficient number of personnel having adequate knowledge, experience and training to provide effective oversight and review over our financial and reporting process.

Management has initiated the following activities intended to improve our internal control over financial reporting.

 
 
In August of 2006, our Chief Financial Officer became a full-time employee of the company. Additionally, in September of 2006, we began expanding our accounting department with the addition of a purchasing and inventory control position. A full-time clerical position was added, in addition to adding a payroll position and an invoicing position. By December of 2006, a senior accountant position was filled. Since May of 2006, we have retained an independent consultant trained in accounting and financial reporting who is a certified public accountant.
 
 
 
 
We have developed policies and procedures to monitor and track sales bookings and installations by product, date of sale and customer. Installation performance logs, identifying key product and installation type information, are now maintained and analyzed by management on a monthly basis.
 
 
 
 
We have developed policies and procedures regarding installations to monitor when the risk of ownership of our products and services is transferred to our customers. Monthly sales at the end of each period along with installation completion documents are analyzed by management to determine whether the risk of ownership has been transferred to the customer and revenue has been appropriately recognized.
         
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the end of the quarterly period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as the principal executive and financial officers, respectively, to allow final decisions regarding required disclosures.  

Because of the material weaknesses described above and in Item 8A of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2007, our management has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses discussed above and in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, our management has concluded that the financial statements included in this Form 10-QSB present fairly, in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

Quarterly Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, also conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the three month period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that there was no such change during that quarter.

Item 3A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Reference is made to the disclosures above in Item 3. Controls and Procedures.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
  
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we issued the following unregistered equity securities.

 
1.
In June 2007 we raised approximately $12.6 million under a private placement offering, by issuing (i) 4,567,270 shares of common stock and (ii) three-year warrants to purchase 913,455 shares of our common stock. Reference is made to the disclosures made in Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 8, 2007 with respect to the June 2007 Private Placement. Subsequent to the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we filed a registration statement covering the shares of common stock sold in the June 2007 Private Placement and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued in connection with the June 2007 Private Placement. Such registration statement was declared effective on July 24, 2007.

 
2.
On May 3, 2007, we purchased customer contracts and fixed assets, and assumed certain liabilities, from Alternative Energy, Inc., a California corporation, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement with Alternative Energy, Inc. and its principal shareholders for approximately $100,000 and 100,000 shares of our common stock. This transaction did not involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions. Because the issuance of 100,000 shares of our common stock was to a limited number of individuals who were stockholders of Alternative Energy, Inc., we believe that this issuance did not involve any public offering and was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 
3.
On April 27, 2007 and June 21, 2007, we issued an aggregate of 349,671 shares of our restricted common stock under our Stock Plan to certain of our employees and advisors. The securities were not sold for cash and were issued to persons who had provided services to us. These restricted stock issuances did not involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions. Because each recipient of the restricted common stock is or was an employee or other service provider to the Company, we believe that each issuance did not involve any public offering and was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
