Overview/History
We are a developer, manufacturer and integrator of energy saving technologies and building
automation controls as well as an independent developer of scalable, negative power systems. Our
premier energy saving products are the EnergySaver system, which reduces energy consumed by
lighting with minimal lighting level reduction and the eMAC system, which provides intelligent
control and continuous monitoring of HVAC and lighting equipment via wireless communication
technology to reduce energy usage and improve system reliability. Our technology has been installed
in applications in commercial buildings, factories and office structures, as well as street
lighting and parking lot lighting. Our GlobalCommander integrates with the EnergySaver allowing us
to link multiple EnergySaver units together and to provide remote communications, measurement and
verification of energy savings.
In addition to our EnergySaver and eMAC systems, we also provide, through our subsidiary,
Great Lakes Controlled Energy Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (Great Lakes), integrated
building and environmental control solutions for commercial and industrial facilities.
Until June 1, 2003, we also manufactured custom electrical switchgear through Switchboard
Apparatus Inc. (Switchboard), a wholly owned subsidiary located in Broadview Illinois. In an
effort to refocus our resources and shed the continuing losses from the switchgear business, we
sold the operating assets of Switchboard to a group of investors that included the President of
Switchboard, effective as of May 31, 2003.
On December 5, 1997, we were initially formed as Electric City LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company. On June 5, 1998, we changed from a limited liability company into a corporation
by merging Electric City LLC into Electric City Corp., a Delaware corporation.
On June 10, 1998, Electric City issued 1,200,272 shares of our common stock with a fair market
value of $1,200,272, representing approximately six (6%) percent of Electric Citys then issued and
outstanding common stock, to the approximately 330 shareholders of Pice Products Corporation
(Pice), an inactive, unaffiliated company with minimal assets, pursuant to a merger agreement
under which Pice was merged with and into Electric City. The purpose of the merger was to
substantially increase the
1
number of our shareholders to facilitate the establishment of a public trading market for our
common stock. Trading in our common stock commenced on August 14, 1998 through the OTC Bulletin
Board under the trading symbol ECCC.
In May 1999, we purchased most of the assets of Marino Electric, Inc., an entity engaged in
the business of designing and manufacturing custom electrical switchgear and distribution panels.
On August 31, 2000, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger among us, Switchboard
Apparatus, Inc. and Switchboard Apparatuss stockholders, we acquired Switchboard Apparatus. In
connection with the acquisition, Switchboard Apparatus was merged into our wholly owned subsidiary,
with our subsidiary continuing as the surviving corporation under the name Switchboard Apparatus,
Inc.
On June 7, 2001, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among us, Electric City
Great Lakes Acquisition Corporation, Great Lakes Controlled Energy Corporation (Great Lakes) and
Great Lakes stockholders, we acquired Great Lakes. Great Lakes is an independent systems integrator
and facilities support specialist and focuses on building automation controls for lighting and HVAC
systems for commercial applications. Great Lakes is also a national representative and distributor
of select energy metering and control systems. In connection with the acquisition, Great Lakes was
merged into our wholly-owned subsidiary Electric City Great Lakes Acquisition Corporation, with our
subsidiary continuing as the surviving corporation under the name Great Lakes Controlled Energy
Corporation.
On June 3, 2003, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Hoppensteadt
Acquisition Corp., whereby Hoppensteadt acquired all of the assets, except for certain receivables
and cash, and assumed all of the liabilities, except for bank debt, of Switchboard Apparatus, the
Company Power Management segment, as of May 31, 2003.
On May 3, 2005, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 28, 2005, by and
among Electric City Corp., MPG Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Electric City
(Merger Subsidiary), and Maximum Performance Group, Inc. (MPG), Electric City acquired MPG
through the merger of MPG with and into Merger Subsidiary, with Merger Subsidiary continuing as the
surviving corporation under the name Maximum Performance Group, Inc. MPG is a technology based
provider of energy and asset management products and services. MPG manufactures and markets its
eMAC line of controllers for HVAC and lighting applications. The eMAC line of controllers provide
intelligent control and continuous monitoring of HVAC and lighting equipment via wireless
communication technology to reduce energy usage and improve system reliability. MPG, has offices
in New York, New York and San Diego, California.
Products And Services
The Company currently manufactures products or provides services under two distinct business
segments. The energy technology segment includes the manufacturing and sale of the EnergySaver,
GlobalCommander, eMAC and uMAC product lines. In addition, this segment markets the Virtual
Negawatt Power Plan (VNPP), which is essentially a negative power system designed for utilities
as a demand response system. The building control and automation business segment is served by our
subsidiary, Great Lakes Controlled Energy Corporation, which specializes in the installation and
maintenance of building control and automation systems. See note 21 to the consolidated financial
statements for additional information regarding the segments of our business.

EnergySaver
The EnergySaver system is a state-of-the-art lighting control system that reduces energy
consumption of indoor and outdoor commercial, institutional and industrial ballasted lighting
systems, while maintaining appropriate lighting levels. The EnergySaver is a freestanding enclosure
that contains control panels with electrical parts and is connected between the incoming power line
and the buildings electrical lighting circuits. The EnergySaver also contains a microprocessor
with software that allows the customer to control the amount of energy savings desired which,
depending on the application, is typically between 20% and 30%, and provides self-diagnosis and
self-correction. The customer can access the EnergySavers microprocessor directly or remotely via
modem, network or two-way radio.
The EnergySaver is manufactured to varying sizes and capacities to address differing lighting
situations. We can interface our EnergySaver products with most new and existing lighting panels,
ballasts and lamps without modification. In addition, the EnergySaver system reduces the power
consumed by lamps, resulting in a reduction of heat generated within the lighting system, which
enhances ballast and lamp life and reduces the amount of air conditioning necessary to cool the
building.
GlobalCommander
The GlobalCommander system is an advanced lighting controller designed to permit central
control and monitoring of multiple EnergySaver units and allows for large-scale demand side
management and savings measurement and verification without turning off the users lights. The
GlobalCommander bundles the EnergySaver technology with an area-wide communication package to allow
for maximum energy reductions across entire systems in response to the guidelines of a customers
facility manager. In addition, the GlobalCommander has the ability to measure and store information
about the actual savings generated from the use of the EnergySaver. This information, which can be
viewed in a tabular or graphical format and can be downloaded to a users computer, is often
required for a customer to qualify for utility incentives for energy savings and curtailment. The
GlobalCommander also allows customers to control their facilities loads and lighting requirements
from a single control point. This single-point control is available for a virtually unlimited
number of remote facilities and can be accessed through the Internet, intranet or over standard
telephone lines through dial-up modems.
Virtual Negawatt Power Plan
The combined technology of the EnergySaver and GlobalCommander led to the development of our
Virtual Negawatt Power Plan (VNPP), which is essentially a negative power system which we
market primarily to utilities as a demand response system. The VNPP allows a utility to remotely
control commercial, industrial and government lighting systems over a managed and secure Internet
protocol (IP) network. Through the use of the EnergySaver/GlobalCommander system, the utility is
able to reduce electric demand requirements during periods of peak demand, providing instantaneous
control, measurement and verification of load reduction. Thus, at times when electric power demand
is especially high (such as summer afternoons), the electric utility can use the VNPP to reduce
demand. The demand reduction can be specifically placed across a utility grid targeting potential
hot spots such as particular substations. We believe the Electric City VNPP is the first demand
response system to provide this level of control to a utility without requiring active customer
participation and without impacting a customers operations or ability to do business. For
additional information on the VNPP program please see Item 7 Managements Discussion and
Analysis or Plan of Operations.

eMAC & uMAC
The eMAC system is comprised of a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC)
controller with wireless communication capabilities and a central, server based, Internet
accessible software that monitors and controls the operation of the connected HVAC units. The eMAC
system is designed for use in commercial and industrial applications with packaged (primarily
rooftop) HVAC equipment of 2 to 40 tons (1 ton = 12,000 Btu/hr cooling capacity) and up to 500,000
Btu/hr of heating capacity.
The eMAC controller is contained in a small box that is mounted on the exterior of a
customers HVAC unit. The controller is wired into the HVAC equipment and monitors up to 126
points of the equipments operation. In addition, each eMAC contains a Pentech Energy Recovery
Controller (PERC), a patented third generation microprocessor based technology.
PERC was developed by Pentech Solutions, a predecessor company to Maximum Performance Group,
and is designed to dynamically match a HVAC systems output to any given load condition, thereby
improving the operating efficiency of the equipment. Since most HVAC systems are designed to
maintain comfortable environmental conditions on both the hottest and coldest days likely to be
experienced, there exists substantial excess system capacity on most days of the year. Due to this
excess capacity the system quickly satisfies a thermostats call for heating or cooling, and in
doing so overshoots the thermostat set point and leaves Btus of heat or cooling in the heat
exchanger, cooling coils and air ducts. The PERC controller acts to correct this by periodically
turning off the air conditioners compressor and condenser fan while continuing to run the
evaporator fan, thereby continuing to deliver cooling to the conditioned space utilizing the energy
stored in the cooling coils, heat exchanger and air ducts. In heating applications, PERC
periodically closes the gas valve while continuing to operate the indoor air fan, delivering heated
air into the space utilizing the heat stored in the heat exchanger and air ducts. At the same time
the PERC controller is monitoring the rate of temperature change in the conditioned space in order
of avoid overshooting the desired temperature setting. The PERC technology typically will result
in energy savings of 15% to 20% for our end user customers.
The wireless communication capabilities of the eMAC allow us to monitor and remotely manage
the operation of a customers HVAC equipment. A customer can log on to our eMAC web site and
obtain information regarding the operation of their HVAC equipment and change equipment operating
parameters, such as hours of operation and temperature. The eMAC will also send alarms to our
central server when any of the up to 126 monitored points of operation fall outside predetermined
operating ranges. This often permits us to react to a potential equipment problem before the
occupants of the space are aware of an equipment malfunction. We charge our customers for this
ability to communicate and remotely monitor and mange their equipment, though we often include an
initial monitoring period with the purchase of the eMAC so that our customers can become familiar
with the benefits of this service.
The uMAC is a version of the eMAC which has been simplified to remotely control the operation
of a facilitys lights via wireless communications. Using the uMAC a customer can remotely, via
the Internet, turn lights on and off and change the daily schedule for the operation of a
facilitys lighting.

Building Control and Automation
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Great Lakes Controlled Energy Corporation, we provide
integration of building and automation control systems for commercial and industrial customers.
Great Lakes has been providing building automation services for over 20 years and is an authorized
distributor for Teletrol Systems Inc., WattStopper Inc. and Power Measurement Ltd., and is a dealer
for Novar Controls Corporation and ABB Drives and Motors. Building and environmental control
systems are networks of sensors and actuators controlled by a central computer. The sensors
monitor building environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity and light levels, and will
turn on and off heating units, chillers, pumps, lights, or other equipment as needed to maintain
environmental conditions within a desired range. The systems also report to the central operator
when there is a problem with any of the equipment on the network or when any of the monitored
conditions fall outside of preset limits. Great Lakes became a subsidiary of Electric City in June
2001. In January 2006, we made the decision to sell Great Lakes in order to focus exclusively on
our Energy Technology products. We entered into a Letter of Intent on February 27, 2006 to sell
Great Lakes and we expect to close on this transaction by the end of March 2006. See note 21 to
our audited financial statements for additional information regarding our Building Automation and
Control segment.
Marketing, Sales and Distribution
The majority of our sales are derived through the efforts of our internal sales force. Prior
to late 2005, each of our subsidiaries had their own sales force which primarily sold only their
products. In late 2005 we began to integrate our subsidiaries and set up geographic profit centers
in which our salespeople will sell all of the Companys products. Initially we will be organized
into three profit centers: East Coast (managed out of our New York office), Midwest (managed out of
our Chicago office) and West Coast (managed out of our San Diego office). We believe our
proprietary energy technologies differentiate us from other providers of energy solutions and
provide our customers superior returns on their investment.
In addition to our internal sales force we have established relationships with distributors
(also referred to as State Representatives) to market and distribute our EnergySaver products to
end-users. The use of third party distributors has become a less important part of our overall
sales and marketing strategy during the past couple of years, with the bulk of our sales coming
through our internal sales force.
As of December 31, 2005, we had five distributor/state representative agreements covering
Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana and Nevada. Each distributor is responsible for developing
and managing a sales network within its respective territory. Typically the distributor does this
by establishing direct relationships with end-users or through dealerships within the territory and
overseeing the sales, installation and maintenance of our products by those dealerships. If a
distributor sells any of our products outside its territory, such distributor operates as a dealer,
meaning it manages end-user sales only. The distributor earns a commission on any sale of our
products in its territory whether initiated by the distributor itself, a dealer, or by us.
Our standard distributor agreement have terms of 10 years and gives the distributor certain
exclusive rights of distribution in a particular territory, includes sales quotas that increase
periodically throughout the term of the agreement, and requires the distributor to make payment to
us within 30 to 60 days of product shipment. The agreement contains penalties for failure to meet
quotas or make payments, including the loss of certain exclusive rights of distribution. Currently,
all of our distributors have violated the terms of their agreements for failing to meet their
quotas. We are working with our distributors to address these issues. The standard distributor
agreement can be terminated at our discretion if the distributor fails to meet the terms of the
distributor agreement.
5
Our Utility Development area is responsible for marketing the VNPP to utilities. Once a
utility signs a VNPP agreement we work jointly with the utility to sign up energy users to
participate in the curtailment program by agreeing to the installation of the EnergySaver in their
facilities at no cost to the user.
Great Lakes sells its building automation control systems either directly to end-users
(typically commercial or industrial building owners) or by bidding on contracts let by general
contractors for new construction or building renovation projects.
Customers
During 2005, one customer, Kohls Department Stores, accounted for approximately 30% of our
consolidated billings. Kohls is a customer of our energy technology segment. During 2004, sales
to two customers accounted for approximately 57% of our total consolidated revenue. Our largest
customers for 2004 were Hill Mechanical Group (46%) and Public Energy Solutions (11%). Hill
Mechanical Group is a customer of our building automation controls business, while Public Energy
Solutions is an EnergySaver dealer. During 2003, four customers accounted for approximately 63% of
our total consolidated revenue. The top four customers during 2003 were Electric City of
Pennsylvania (10%), Hill Mechanical Group (26%), Jacobsen Power (12%) and M&A Railroad and Electric
Supply (15%). Hill Mechanical Group and Jacobsen Power were both customers of our building
automation controls business, while Electric City of Pennsylvania and M&A Railroad and Electric
Supply were EnergySaver dealers. M&A Railroad and Electric Supply ceased to be a dealer in
December 2003 and Electric City of Pennsylvania ceased to be a dealer in June 2005.
In late 2003, we signed a 13 year contract with Commonwealth Edison to provide up to 50
megawatts of demand curtailment through our VNPP program. In November 2004, we entered into a 10
year VNPP contract with PacifiCorp to provide up to 27 megawatts of demand curtailment. Under
these contracts, we place our EnergySaver equipment in commercial and industrial Customer Hosts
buildings at no cost to the Customer Host. In exchange for allowing us to reduce the power to
their lighting system (without turning off their lights) during periods of peak energy demand, the
Customer Host is allowed to operate the EnergySaver at a 3% to 5% level during non-curtailment
periods. The utility companies have agreed to pay us for the availability of this demand reduction
and we will recognize revenue under these contracts over the period for which demand reduction is
provided. As of December 31, 2005 we had installed 135 EnergySavers at 85 different Customer Host
sites under these programs at a cost of approximately $1.4 million. We recognized our first
revenue under the program and began amortizing the cost of the related EnergySaver units during the
fourth quarter of 2005. Further shipments under these programs were postponed in late 2005 due to
the high capital requirements of these programs.
Competition
There are a number of products on the market that directly or indirectly compete with the
EnergySaver products. These competing products can be categorized into three general types:
|
|
|
those that convert AC to DC at a central location, |
|
|
|
|
those that pulsate the power to the lighting system; and |
|
|
|
|
other control products similar to the EnergySaver system. |
Products that fall into the first category convert AC to DC at a central location and do so
more efficiently than it is done by the standard electronic ballast in each light fixture. The main
drawback to this technology is that the transmission of DC power over any distance is generally
less efficient and more dangerous than transmitting AC power. This technology also requires the
rewiring of every light fixture on the circuit.
6
Products that pulsate the power in the lighting system turn the power off and on so quickly
(120 times/second) that the lights remain on. This process, which is generally known as wave
chopping, distorts the AC waveform and thereby produces harmonics in a buildings electrical
system that can damage other electrical components such as electric motors and electronic devices.
The process also contributes to the reduction of life of lamps and ballasts in lighting fixtures.
Control products control power consumption at the lights, at the lighting circuit or at the
control panel. Products that control the power at the lights or at the lighting circuit must be
wired to each fixture or to each circuit, resulting in high installation cost, which makes these
products less competitive from an economic perspective. The EnergySaver controls power consumption
at the lighting panel, making it much simpler and less expensive to install and maintain. There
are other products on the market that also control power consumption at the lighting panel, but the
EnergySaver is the only product that we are aware of that offers total real-time variability of
savings levels, remote communications and savings measurement and verification capabilities.
While there are other HVAC controllers that provide energy saving benefits similar to the
eMAC, we are not aware of any competing product available at a comparable cost to the eMAC that
provides the communications, remote monitoring and diagnostic features of the eMAC. Large,
national control companies provide systems that can do much of what the eMAC can do, but the
installed cost of such systems make them impractical for smaller applications, which is the markets
we are targeting with the eMAC.
Great Lakes Controlled Energy competes against both large national controls companies and
smaller regional distributors of building controls. Two of the large national controls companies
that Great Lakes competes with are Siemens and Johnson Controls, both of whom have significantly
greater financial and operating resources than Great Lakes. Great Lakes sells its products and
services based on system capabilities, experience, service and price.
Manufacturing
Our EnergySaver product line is manufactured at our facilities in Elk Grove Village, Illinois,
with manufacturing and assembly scaled to order. Since the manufacturing process that we are
currently performing only involves the assembly of components manufactured by others, we believe
there are many contract manufacturers located across the country that could assemble our
EnergySaver product for us with relatively little lead time should we decide to outsource some or
all of the manufacturing to contract manufacturers.
The eMAC is manufactured for us by a contract manufacturer in southern California. We believe
that this contract manufacturer has sufficient capacity to handle our anticipated growth in eMAC
sales for the foreseeable future. In addition, we believe that there are many contract
manufacturers across the country that could manufacture the eMAC for us if for some reason our
current contract manufacturer could not meet our needs.
The primary components for the EnergySaver and eMAC are sourced from multiple manufacturers.
We are in continuous discussion with additional parts suppliers, seeking to ensure lowest cost
pricing and reliability of supply.
During 2005, approximately 20% of our consolidated material purchases were made from four
suppliers. Purchases from any one supplier will vary year-to-year depending on sales and inventory
levels. None of these four suppliers sell the Company proprietary products that we could not
purchase from other vendors.
7
Compliance With Environmental Laws
Neither the Companys production nor sales of its products in any material way generate
activities or materials that require compliance with federal, state or local environmental laws.
Research and Development
The Company, through the day-to-day use of the EnergySaver and eMAC and their components and
their use at various testing sites around the country, develops modifications and improvements to
its products. Total research and development costs charged to operations were approximately
$395,000, $150,000, and $70,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Intellectual Property
Certain technologies underlying the EnergySaver products have been patented in the U.S. and
Italy by Giorgio Reverberi. A U.S. patent application was filed by Mr. Reverberi in November 1997,
and a patent was issued in June 2000.
Since January 1, 1998, we, along with Mr. Reverberi and Mr. Joseph Marino, have entered into a
number of agreements relating to the license of the EnergySaver technology, which grant us the
exclusive license rights of Mr. Reverberis patent of the EnergySaver technology in all of North
America, Central America, South America (excluding the countries of Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Paraguay and Uruguay) and the Caribbean (except Cuba), as well as Africa (excluding the countries
of Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia). Our license expires upon the expiration of Mr. Reverberis
last expiring patent, which we expect to be on or around November 2017. If either party materially
breaches the license and fails to cure the breach within 180 days after notice by the other party
of the breach, the other party can terminate the license. We pay Mr. Reverberi a royalty of $200
and Mr. Marino a royalty of $100 for each EnergySaver product we make or sell in territories in
which Mr. Reverberi holds a valid patent.
We have applied for and/or received several patents on improvements we have made to the core
technology developed by Mr. Reverberi. In addition, MPG has several patents on various aspects of
the eMAC system. As of December 31, 2005, we had nine issued patents and three patents pending
before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as foreign patent offices. In addition we
have received three trademarks and have two additional trademarks pending.
Employees
As of March 15, 2006, we had 39 full time employees and two part time employees, of which nine
were management and corporate staff, four were engineers, nine were engaged in sales and marketing,
14 were engaged in field service and five were engaged in manufacturing. Of those employees engaged
in manufacturing, four are covered by collective bargaining agreements between Electric City and
the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), which is affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). In May of 2005 we renewed
the collective bargaining agreement covering all union employees. The new agreement will expire on
May 31, 2008.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following disclosure of risk factors include all material risks known to us at this
time. Additional risks we are not presently aware of or that we currently believe are
immaterial may prove to impair our business and financial performance. Our business could be harmed
by any of these risks, whether stated or unstated. We operate in a continually changing business
environment and may as a result enter into new businesses and product lines. We cannot predict new
risk factors that may arise in the future, and we cannot assess the impact, if any, of these new
risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.
Accordingly, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
In addition, our estimates of future operating results are based on our current complement of
businesses, which is constantly subject to change as we continue to assess and refine our business
strategy. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, and
financial condition could be adversely affected in a material manner.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate our potential for future success.
We were formed in December 1997. To date, we have generated limited revenues from the sale of
our products and do not expect to generate significant revenues until we sell a significantly
larger number of our products. Accordingly, we have only a limited operating history upon which you
can base an evaluation of our business and prospects. The likelihood of our success must be
considered in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early stage companies
like ours in an evolving market. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks and
uncertainties, our business will be materially harmed.
We have incurred significant operating losses since inception and may not achieve or sustain
profitability in the future.
We have experienced operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since our
inception and we currently have an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is
ultimately dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and to increase sales to a level
that will allow us to operate profitably and sustain positive operating cash flows. Although we
are continuing our efforts to improve profitability through expansion of our business in both
current and new markets, we must overcome significant manufacturing hurdles, including gearing up
to produce large quantities of product or arranging to outsource the production of our products,
and marketing hurdles, including market acceptance, in order to sell large quantities of our
products. In addition, we may be required to reduce the prices of our products in order to increase
sales. If we reduce product prices, we may not be able to reduce product costs sufficiently to
achieve acceptable profit margins. As we strive to grow our business, we expect to spend
significant funds (1) for general corporate purposes, including working capital, marketing,
recruiting and hiring additional personnel; and (2) for research and development. To the extent
that our revenues do not increase as quickly as these costs and expenditures, our results of
operations and liquidity will be materially adversely affected. If we experience slower than
anticipated revenue growth or if our operating expenses exceed our expectations, we may not achieve
profitability. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain it.
Our auditors have modified their opinion to our audited financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2005 to include an emphasis paragraph, stating that our continuing losses and
negative cash flow from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Our management has developed a plan that includes among other things, raising additional
capital to fund
9
operations until our sales and internally generated cash flow can support our ongoing
operations. Whether we can succeed in implementing this plan remains to be seen.
Our independent registered public accountants have issued a going concern opinion
raising doubt about our financial viability.
As a result of our continuing losses and negative cash flows, our independent registered
public accounting firm, BDO Seidman, LLP, issued a going concern opinion in connection with their
audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. This opinion expressed
substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The going concern opinion could
have an adverse impact on our ability to execute our business plan, result in the reluctance on the
part of certain suppliers to do business with us, result in the inability to obtain new business
due to potential customers concern about our ability to deliver product, or adversely affect our
ability to raise additional capital.
Failure to replace significant customer could materially and adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition.
We have historically derived a significant portion of our annual revenue from a limited number
of customers. Seldom has any one customer represented 10% or more of our revenues for more than
one year in a row. This requires that we continually replace major customers whose needs we have
satisfied, with one or more new customers. The failure to replace a major customer could have a
significant negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
A decrease in electric retail rates could lessen demand for our products.
Our principal products, our EnergySaver and eMAC products, have the greatest profit potential
in areas where commercial electric rates are relatively high. However, retail electric rates for
commercial establishments in the United States may not remain at their current levels. Due to a
potential overbuilding of power generating stations in certain regions of the United States,
wholesale power prices may decrease in the future. Because the price of commercial retail electric
power is largely attributed to the wholesale cost of power, it is reasonable to expect that
commercial retail rates may decrease as well. In addition, much of the wholesale cost of power is
directly related to the price of certain fuels, such as natural gas, oil and coal. If the prices
of those fuels decrease, the prices of the wholesale cost of power may also decrease. This could
result in lower electric retail rates and reduced demand for energy saving devices such as our
EnergySaver and eMAC products.
We have a license to use certain patents and our ability to sell our products may be
adversely impacted if the license expires or is terminated.
We have entered into a license agreement with Messrs. Giorgio Reverberi and Joseph Marino with
regard to the core technology used in our EnergySaver product. Mr. Reverberi holds a U.S. patent
and has applied for several patents in other countries. Pursuant to the terms of the license, we
have been granted the exclusive right to manufacture and sell products containing the load
reduction technology claimed under Mr. Reverberis U.S. patent or any other related patent held by
him in the U.S., the remainder of North America, parts of South America and parts of Africa.
However, the exclusive rights that we received may not have any value in territories where Mr.
Reverberi does not have or does not obtain protectable rights. The term of the license expires when
the last of these patents expires. We expect that these patents will expire around November 2017.
The license agreement may be terminated if we materially breach its terms and fail to cure the
breach within 180 days after we are notified of the breach. If our license is terminated it could
impact our ability to manufacture, sell or otherwise commercialize products in those countries
where Mr. Reverberi holds valid patents relating to our products, including the United States.
10
If we are not able to protect our intellectual property rights against infringement, or if
others obtain intellectual property rights relating to energy management technology, we
could lose our competitive advantage in the energy management market.
We regard our intellectual property rights, such as patents, licenses of patents, trademarks,
copyrights and trade secrets, as important to our success. Although we entered into confidentiality
and rights to inventions agreements with our employees and consultants, the steps we have taken to
protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. Third parties may infringe or
misappropriate our intellectual property rights or we may not be able to detect unauthorized use
and take appropriate steps to enforce our rights. Failure to take appropriate protective steps
could materially adversely affect any competitive advantage we may have in the energy management
market. Furthermore, our license to use Mr. Reverberis patents may have little or no value to us
if Mr. Reverberis patents are not valid. In addition, patents held by third parties may limit our
ability to manufacture, sell or otherwise commercialize products and could result in the assertion
of claims of patent infringement against us. If that were to happen, we could try to modify our
products to be non-infringing, but we might not be successful or such modifications might not avoid
infringing on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
Claims of patent infringement against us, regardless of merit, could result in the expenditure
of significant financial and managerial resources by us. We may be forced to seek to enter into
license agreements with third parties (other than Mr. Reverberi) to resolve claims of infringement
by our products of the intellectual property rights of third parties. These licenses may not be
available on acceptable terms or at all. The failure to obtain such licenses on acceptable terms
could have a negative effect on our business.
David Asplund, our new Chief Executive Officer, has limited experience operating a Company
such as ours and no direct industry experience.
Mr. Asplund, who has been on our Board since June 2002, has a degree in mechanical engineering
and has had a successful career in the financial industry. Mr. Asplund founded an investment
banking firm in 1999 and operated the firm as its president for six years, but Mr. Asplund has not
operated a manufacturing company. His past experience does not assure that he will be successful
in his new role as CEO of Electric City.
If we are unable to achieve or manage our growth, it will adversely affect our business, the
quality of our products and our ability to attract and retain key personnel.
If we succeed in growing our sales as we need to do, we will be subject to the risks inherent
in the expansion and growth of a business enterprise. Growth in our business will place a strain on
our operational and administrative resources and increase the level of responsibility for our
existing and new management personnel. To manage our growth effectively, we will need to:
|
|
|
further develop and improve our operating, information, accounting, financial
and other internal systems and controls on a timely basis; |
|
|
|
|
improve our business development, marketing and sales capabilities; and |
|
|
|
|
expand, train, motivate and manage our employee base. |
Our systems currently in place may not be adequate if we grow and may need to be modified and
enhanced. The skills of management currently in place may not be adequate if we experience
significant growth.
11
If our management fails to properly identify companies to acquire and to effectively
negotiate the terms of these acquisition transactions, our growth may be impaired.
As part of our growth strategy we intend to seek to acquire companies with complementary
technologies, products and/or services. Our management, including our Board of Directors, will have
discretion in identifying and selecting companies to be acquired by us and in structuring and
negotiating these acquisitions. In general, our Common Stockholders may not have the opportunity to
approve these acquisitions, although the holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock do have
certain rights to approve acquisitions. In addition, in making acquisition decisions, we will
rely, in part, on financial projections developed by our management and the management of potential
target companies. These projections will be based on assumptions and subjective judgments. The
actual operating results of any acquired company or the combination of us and an acquired company
may fall significantly short of projections.
We may be unable to acquire companies that we identify as targets for various reasons,
including:
|
|
|
our inability to interest such companies in a proposed transaction; |
|
|
|
|
our inability to agree on the terms of an acquisition; |
|
|
|
|
incompatibility between our management and management of a target company; and |
|
|
|
|
our inability to obtain any required approvals of the holders of the Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock, or our lender, or if required, the holders of our
Common Stock. |
If we cannot consummate acquisitions on a timely basis or agree on terms at all, or if we
cannot acquire companies with complementary technologies, products and/or services on terms
acceptable to us, our future growth may be impaired.
Our growth may be impaired and our current business may suffer if we do not successfully
address risks associated with acquisitions.
Since January 1, 2000, we have acquired three companies; Switchboard Apparatus, Great Lakes
Controlled Energy and Maximum Performance Group, Inc., one of which (Switchboard Apparatus) we
subsequently sold and we have recently signed a letter of intent to sell Great Lakes. Our future
growth may depend, in part, upon our ability to successfully identify, acquire and operate other
complementary businesses. We may encounter problems associated with such acquisitions, including
the following:
|
|
|
difficulties in integrating acquired operations and products with our existing
operations and products; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in meeting operating expectations for acquired businesses; |
|
|
|
|
diversion of managements attention from other business concerns; |
|
|
|
|
adverse impact on earnings of amortization or write-offs of goodwill and other
intangible assets relating to acquisitions; and |
|
|
|
|
issuances of equity securities that may be dilutive to existing stockholders to
pay for acquisitions. |
If our products do not achieve or sustain market acceptance, our ability to compete will be
adversely affected.
To date, we have not sold our EnergySaver or eMAC product lines or any other products in very
large quantities and a sufficient market may not develop for them. Significant marketing will be
required in order to establish a sufficient market for these products. The technology underlying
our products may not become a preferred technology to address the energy management needs of our
customers and potential customers. Failure to successfully develop, manufacture and commercialize
products on a timely
12
and cost-effective basis will have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the
energy management market or to survive as a business.
Failure to meet customers expectations or deliver expected technical performance could
result in losses and negative publicity.
Customer engagements involve the installation of energy management equipment that we design to
help our clients reduce energy/power consumption. We rely on outside contractors to install our
EnergySaver and eMAC products. Any defects in this equipment and/or its installation or any other
failure to meet our customers expectations could result in:
|
|
|
delayed or lost revenues due to adverse customer reaction; |
|
|
|
|
requirements to provide additional products, replacement parts and/or services to a
customer at no charge; |
|
|
|
|
negative publicity regarding us and our products, which could adversely affect our
ability to attract or retain customers; and |
|
|
|
|
claims for substantial damages against us, regardless of whether we have any
responsibility for such failure. |
If sufficient additional funding is not available to us, the commercialization of our
products and our ability to grow is likely to be hindered.
Our operations have not generated positive cash flow since the inception of the Company in
1997. We have funded our operations through the issuance of common and preferred stock and secured
debt. Our ability to continue to operate until our cash flow turns positive may depend on our
ability to continue to raise funds through the issuance of equity or debt. If we are not
successful in raising additional funds, we might have to significantly scale back or delay our
growth plans, or possibly cease operations altogether. Any reduction or delay in our growth plans
could materially adversely affect our ability to compete in the marketplace, take advantage of
business opportunities and develop or enhance our products. If we should have to cease operations
altogether, your investment is likely to be lost.
Raising additional capital or consummation of additional acquisitions through the issuance
of equity or equity-linked securities could dilute your ownership interest in us.
It is likely that we will need to obtain additional funds in the future to grow our product
development, manufacturing, marketing and sales activities at the pace that we intend, to continue
to fund operating losses until our cash flow turns positive, or to fund acquisitions. If we
determine that we do need to raise additional capital in the future and we are not successful in
doing so, we might have to significantly scale back or delay our growth plans, reduce staff and
delay planned expenditures on research and development and capital expenditures in order to
continue as a going concern. Any reduction or delay in our growth plans could materially adversely
affect our ability to compete in the marketplace, take advantage of business opportunities and
develop or enhance our products.
If we receive additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or convertible debt
securities, our existing stockholders will likely experience dilution of their present equity
ownership position and voting rights. Depending on the number of shares issued and the terms and
conditions of the issuance, new equity securities could have rights, preferences, or privileges
senior to those of our Common Stock. Depending on the terms, Common Stock holders may not have
approval rights with respect to such issuances, although our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
may have such rights.
13
Failure to effectively market our energy management products could impair our ability to
sell significant quantities of these products.
One of the challenges we face in commercializing our energy management products is
demonstrating the advantages of our products over competitive products. To do this, we will need
to further develop our marketing and sales force. In addition to our internal sales force, we rely
on third parties to market and sell our products. We currently maintain a number of relationships
and have a number of agreements with third parties regarding the marketing and distribution of our
EnergySaver products and depend to some degree upon the efforts of these third parties in marketing
and selling these products. Maintenance of these relationships is based primarily on an ongoing
mutual business opportunity and a good overall working relationship. The current contracts
associated with certain of these relationships allow the distributors to terminate the relationship
upon 30 days written notice. We recently terminated two distributors for failing to meet their
sales quotas. Without these relationships, our ability to market and sell our EnergySaver products
could be harmed and we may need to divert even more resources to increasing our internal sales
force. If we are unable to expand our internal sales force and maintain our third party marketing
relationships, our ability to generate significant revenues may be harmed.
The distribution rights we have granted to third parties in specified geographic territories
may make it difficult for us to grow our business in such territories if those distributors do not
successfully market and support our products in those territories. We have in the past been, and
may in the future be, involved in disputes with distributors that have distribution rights in
specified geographic territories but are not achieving our goals. During 2000, we repurchased for
cash and stock consideration the distribution rights from three distributors that were not meeting
our sales goals. We recently settled a dispute with a former distributor to avoid the cost of
further litigation. All of our distributors are currently in violation of their agreements with us
for failing to meet their sales quotas. We may have to expend additional funds, incur debt or
issue additional securities in the future to repurchase other distribution rights or pursue legal
action to enforce our rights under distributor agreements that we have granted or may grant in the
future.
If we do not successfully compete with others in the very competitive energy management
market, we may not achieve profitability.
In the energy management market, we compete with other manufacturers of energy management
products that are currently used by our potential customers. Many of these companies have
substantially greater financial resources, larger research and development staffs and greater
manufacturing and marketing capabilities than us. Our competitors may provide energy management
products at lower prices and/or with superior performance. If we are unable to successfully compete
with conventional and new technologies our business may be materially harmed.
Product liability claims could result in losses and could divert our managements time and
resources.
The manufacture and sale of our products creates a risk of product liability claims. Any
product liability claims, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation and reduced
sales, cause us to incur significant expenses and divert our managements time, attention and
resources. We do have product liability insurance coverage; however, there is no assurance that
such insurance is adequate to cover all potential claims. The successful assertion of any such
claim against us could materially harm our liquidity and operating results.
14
Our current internal manufacturing capacity is limited and if demand for our products
increases significantly and we are unable to increase our capacity quickly and efficiently
our business could suffer.
Our EnergySaver products are manufactured at our facilities. To be financially successful, we
must manufacture our products, including our EnergySaver products, in substantial quantities, at
acceptable costs and on a timely basis. While we have produced approximately 1,600 EnergySaver
units over the past seven years, we have never approached what we believe is our production
capacity. To produce larger quantities of our EnergySaver products at competitive prices and on a
timely basis, we will have to further develop our processing, production control, assembly, testing
and quality assurance capabilities. If our production requirements exceed our internal capacity we
plan to contract with outside manufacturers to produce individual components and/or entire
EnergySaver units. Since the manufacturing process that we are currently performing only involves
the assembly of components manufactured by others, we believe there are many contract manufacturers
located across the country that could assemble our EnergySaver product for us with relatively
little lead time. We have had discussions with several potential contract manufacturers and they
have produced units on a trial basis, but their ability to deliver significant quantities of
product in a timely manner with acceptable quality is still unproven. We may be unable to
manufacture our EnergySaver products in sufficient volume and may incur substantial costs and
expenses in connection with manufacturing larger quantities of our EnergySaver products. If we are
unable to make the transition to large-scale commercial production successfully, our business will
be negatively affected. We could encounter substantial difficulties if we decide to outsource the
manufacturing of our products, including delays in manufacturing and poor production quality.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Due to the current market price of our Common Stock, in conjunction with the fact that we
are a relatively small company with a history of operating losses, the future trading market
for our stock may not be active on a consistent basis, which may make it difficult for you
to sell your shares.
The trading volume of our stock in the future depends in part on our ability to increase our
revenue and reduce or eliminate our operating losses, which should increase the attractiveness of
our stock as an investment, thereby leading to a more liquid market for our stock on a consistent
basis. If we are unable to achieve these goals, the trading market for our stock may be negatively
affected, which may make it difficult for you to sell your shares. In addition, if we fail to
continue to meet the American Stock Exchanges requirements for continued listing we may be forced
to move to the over-the-counter bulletin board, which may result in reduced liquidity and increased
volatility for our stock. If an active and liquid trading market does not exist for our Common
Stock, you may have difficulty selling your shares.
The need to raise additional capital will most likely be dilutive to our current
stockholders and could result in new investors receiving rights that are superior to those
of existing stockholders.
Since September 2001, we have issued shares of our preferred stock (including shares issued as
dividends) that as of March 15, 2006 are convertible into 22,912,400 shares of our Common Stock.
These shares of preferred stock are currently accruing dividends at the rate of 6% per year, though
prior to March 22, 2004 they were accruing at the rate of 10% per year. To date we have issued
shares of convertible preferred stock in satisfaction of accrued dividends convertible into
8,383,410 shares of Common Stock. The preferred stockholders all have rights that are superior to
the rights of our common stockholders, including:
15
|
|
|
a liquidation preference of $200 per share under our Series E Preferred (the
only series of preferred which is currently outstanding); |
|
|
|
|
special approval rights in respect of certain actions by the Company, including
any issuance of shares of capital stock by the Company that would have the right to
receive dividends or the right to participate in any distribution upon liquidation
which will be senior to or equal to the rights of the Series E Preferred (other
than to pay dividends on the Series E Preferred and under certain other limited
exceptions such as conversion of outstanding convertible securities) and any
acquisition, sale, merger, joint venture, consolidation or reorganization involving
the Company or any of its subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
a conversion price that may be below the market price of our Common Stock; |
|
|
|
|
the right to elect up to four directors; |
|
|
|
|
the right to vote with the holders of Common Stock on an as converted basis on
all matters on which holders of our Common Stock are entitled to vote, except (if
more than 19,999 shares of Series E Preferred are outstanding) with respect to the
election of directors or as otherwise provided by law; |
|
|
|
|
a right of first offer on the sale of equity by the Company in a private
transaction; and |
|
|
|
|
anti-dilution protection that would adjust the conversion price on their
preferred shares and the exercise price on their related warrants in the event we
issue common equity at a price which is less than the conversion price or exercise
price of their securities. |
These rights associated with our preferred stock are substantially different than the rights
of our common stockholders and may materially decrease the value of our Common Stock.
Due to the concentration of holdings of our stock, four investors may be able to control
matters requiring common stockholder approval or could cause our stock price to decline
through future sales because they beneficially own a large percentage of our Common Stock.
There are 51,475,066 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of March 15, 2006, of which
Joseph C. Marino beneficially owns approximately 13%, Richard Kiphart (our Chairman) beneficially
owns approximately 16%, Security Benefit beneficially owns approximately 14% and Laurus Master Fund
Ltd. (Laurus) beneficially owns approximately 15% (each of the aforementioned percentages
includes stock options and warrants that are currently exercisable and in the case of Mr.
Kiphart include stock issuable upon conversion of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, and in the
case of Laurus includes shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the exercise of
warrants which possess exercise caps that require 76 days notice prior to acquiring shares in
excess of 4.99%). As a result of their significant ownership, Mr. Marino, Mr. Kiphart, Security
Benefit and Laurus may have the ability to exercise a controlling influence over our business and
corporate actions requiring common stockholder approval, including the election of our directors
(other than those directors to be chosen by the holders of our preferred stock), a sale of
substantially all of our assets, a merger between us and another entity or an amendment to our
certificate of incorporation. This concentration of ownership could delay, defer or prevent a
change of control and could adversely affect the price investors might be willing to pay in the
future for shares of our Common Stock. Also, in the event of a sale of our business, Mr. Marino,
Mr. Kiphart, Security Benefit and Laurus could be able to elect to receive a control premium to the
exclusion of other common stockholders.
A significant percentage of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, including the shares
beneficially owned by Mr. Marino, Mr. Kiphart, Security Benefit and Laurus, can be sold in the
public market from time to time, subject to limitations imposed by Federal securities laws, and in
the case of Mr. Kiphart, by trading agreements entered into with us. The market price of our Common
Stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of our presently outstanding shares of
Common Stock by Mr. Marino, Mr. Kiphart, Security Benefit, Laurus or other stockholders in the
public market or due to the
16
perception that these sales could occur. This could also make it more difficult for us to
raise funds through future offerings of our equity securities or for you to sell your shares if you
choose to do so.
Provisions of our charter and by-laws, in particular our blank check preferred stock,
could discourage an acquisition of our company that would benefit our stockholders.
Provisions of our charter and by-laws may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire
control of our company, even if a change in control would benefit our stockholders. In particular,
shares of our preferred stock have been issued and may be issued in the future without further
stockholder approval and upon those terms and conditions, and having those rights, privileges and
preferences, as our Board of Directors may determine (subject to certain approval rights of our
Series E Preferred). The rights of the holders of our Common Stock will be subject to, and may be
adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any of our preferred stock which is currently
outstanding or which may be issued in the future. The issuance of our preferred stock, while
providing desirable flexibility in pursuing possible additional equity financings and other
corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire
control of us. This could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the
future for shares of our Common Stock and discourage these investors from acquiring a majority of
our Common Stock. In addition, the price that future investors may be willing to pay for our Common
Stock may be lower due to the conversion price and exercise price granted to investors in any such
private financing.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None
Item 2. Properties
Our headquarters and the EnergySaver system production facility are located at 1280 Landmeier
Road in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. This facility is approximately 13,000 square feet and houses
the corporate headquarters, manufacturing operations and warehouse. We acquired this facility in
August 1998 with a combination of stock and cash. The cash portion of the purchase price was
financed through a mortgage on the building. The mortgage was refinanced in December 2005, bears
interest at the rate of prime (currently 7.50%) plus 0.5%, and is payable in monthly installments
of $3,000 plus interest, until a final balloon payment which is due on February 2007. There is no
penalty for prepayment of the mortgage. As of February 28, 2006, the outstanding principal amount
of the mortgage was $556,000.
On June 7, 2001, we acquired Great Lakes Controlled Energy Corporation (Great Lakes). Great
Lakes currently operates its business from a facility located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, which
is approximately 10,000 square feet. In connection with our acquisition of Great Lakes, we entered
into a three-year building lease beginning on the date of the acquisition. Effective June 7, 2004,
the lease was extended through June 7, 2006. The building is owned by the former shareholders of
Great Lakes, Eugene Borucki and Denis Enberg, both of whom are currently employed by the Company.
On
May 3, 2005, we acquired Maximum Performance Group, Inc (MPG). MPG currently leases a
2,800 square foot office in New York City and a 3,100 square foot office in San Diego, California.
The New York office lease has a term of five years and will expire in September 2010. The San
Diego lease expired during 2005 and is currently operating on a month to month basis with a 90 day
termination notice requirement.
We believe that the space and location of our current facilities in combination with the
current and planned outsourcing of a portion of our manufacturing will be sufficient to reach a
level of production projected for the current year.
17
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company has been a party to routine pending or threatened legal
proceedings and arbitrations that are routine and incidental to its business. Based upon
information presently available, and in light of legal and other defenses available to the Company,
management does not consider the liability from any threatened or pending litigation to be material
to the Company.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
The
Secured Convertible Term Loan entered into in November 2005 required the consent of the
holders of our preferred stock, which were obtained in connection with the transaction.
No other matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the three months ended
December 31, 2005.

Holders
As of March 15, 2006, we had approximately 6,000 holders of record of our common stock and
51,475,066 shares of common stock outstanding.
Dividends
For the three months ended December 31, 2005, we declared and paid the following dividends on
our Convertible Preferred Stock:
|
|
|
On December 14, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized payment of dividends
payable on our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock for the calendar quarter ending
December 31, 2005 to shareholders of record of our Series E Convertible Preferred
Stock as of December 31, 2005. The dividends were paid with 3,491 additional shares
of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series E Convertible
Preferred Stock is convertible into 100 shares of our common stock. |
For a further discussion regarding preferred stock dividends, see Item 7 Managements
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations Preferred Stock Dividends.
19
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate
paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We may not pay cash dividends on any of our
capital stock (other than the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock) without the consent of at least
66-2/3% of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, and the consent of our secured lender. See
Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, we issued the securities listed below (in
addition to those securities listed under the preceding Dividends and to those issuances which we
have reported on Form 10-Q during the past year):
In November 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Laurus Master Fund,
Ltd. (Laurus) whereby we issued to Laurus a $5 million secured convertible term note and a
warrant to purchase 2 million shares of our common stock at $1.16 per share anytime prior to
November 22, 2012. The warrants were valued at $920,000 using a modified Black-Sholes option
pricing model. The value of the warrants was recorded as a discount to the term loan and will be
amortized over the term of the underlying debt utilizing the effective interest method.
The sales and issuances of common stock, debt instruments and warrants to purchase common
stock in private placements listed above were made by us in reliance upon the exemptions from
registration provided under Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated by the SEC under federal securities laws and comparable
exemptions for sales to accredited investors under state securities laws. The offers and sales
were made to accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and no general
solicitation was made by us or any person acting on our behalf; the securities sold were subject to
transfer restrictions, and the certificates for those shares contained an appropriate legend
stating that they had not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold
absent registration unless sale is pursuant to an exemption therefrom.

In the year ended December 31, 2002, we adopted FAS 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, which required us to test our intangible assets for possible impairment. As a result
of this testing we determined the goodwill associated with the Power Management segment was
impaired and recorded a write-down of the asset in the amount of $4,103,872, which was
reported as a cumulative effect of accounting change in 2002. For a further discussion of
these items please refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. |

|
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 142, which among other things provides that good will no longer be amortized, as a result
the Company has not record any goodwill amortization beginning in 2002, whereas it recorded
approximately $555,000 and $397,000 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. |

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes which appear elsewhere in this report on Form 10-K. The discussion
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act
of 1995. Such statements consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and
can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as may, expect, anticipate,
estimate or continue or the negative of such terms or other variations of such terms or
comparable terminology. You are cautioned that all forward-looking statements are necessarily
speculative and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results
to differ materially from those referred to in such forward-looking statements. We do not have a
policy of updating or revising forward-looking statements and, therefore, you should not assume
that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as estimated in such
forward-looking statements.
We have a limited operating history. All risks inherent in an inexperienced enterprise are
inherent in our business.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based
upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are
reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially
different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our critical
accounting policies are limited to those described below. For a detailed discussion on the
application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 3 in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions
affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related contingent
liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to
revenues, bad debts, warranty accrual, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. The Company
bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence
has been received that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products and/or services has
occurred; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is reasonably
assured. In addition, we follow the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which sets forth guidelines in the timing of
revenue recognition based upon factors such as passage of title, installation, payments and
customer acceptance. Any amounts received prior to satisfying our revenue recognition criteria is
recorded as deferred revenue.

Our MPG subsidiary often bundles contracts to provide monitoring services and web access with
the sale of its eMAC hardware. As a result, these sales are considered to be contracts with
multiple deliverables which at the time the hardware is delivered and installed includes
undelivered services essential to the functionality of the product. Accordingly, we defer the
revenue for the product and services and the cost of the equipment and installation and recognize
them over the term of the monitoring contract. The monitoring contracts vary in length from 1
month to 5 years.
We have entered into agreements in which we have contracted with utilities to establish a
Virtual Negawatt Power Plan (VNPP). Under these contracts, we install Energy Saver units at
participating host locations, who are customers within the utilitys territory. The participating
customer hosts receive the benefit of reduced utility costs through the operation of the units. We
are able to reduce electric demand requirements during periods of peak demand, providing nearly
instantaneous control, measurement and verification of load reduction. The utility companies will
pay us for the availability of this demand reduction and we recognize revenue under these contracts
over the period for which the demand reduction is provided. Revenue of $15,781 was recognized from
these contracts during the fourth quarter of 2005. No revenue was recognized under such contracts
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The cost of the energy saver units currently at
host locations under such VNPP programs is included in fixed assets and depreciated over the term
these units will be used under the existing contracts.
Profit Recognition on Long-Term Contracts
We account for revenues on long-term contracts under the percentage of completion method in
conjunction with the cost-to-cost method of measuring the extent of progress toward completion.
Any anticipated losses on contracts are charged to operations as soon as they are determinable.
Prior to the second quarter of 2005, due to our limited experience estimating the profitability on
our long-term contracts, we deferred all contract related profits (i.e. assumed zero profit) until
completion of the contract when the actual profit on the contract was known. Starting in the
second quarter of 2005 we began recognizing contract related profits based on the projected profits
for the contract, consistent with the AICPAs Statement of Position 81-1 (SOP 81-1).
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance is largely based upon specific
knowledge of customers from whom collection is determined to be doubtful and our historical
collection experience with such customers. If the financial condition of our customers or the
economic environment in which they operate were to deteriorate, resulting in an inability to make
payments, or if our estimates of certain customers ability to pay are incorrect, additional
allowances may be required. During 2005, we increased our allowance by $97,000 and wrote-off
$13,000. As of December 31, 2005 our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $325,000,
or 15.7% of the outstanding accounts receivable.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.
We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and
circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items. Our cash flow
estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market
and operating conditions. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair
value. Our estimates of fair value represent our best estimate based on industry trends and
reference to market rates and transactions.
23
Goodwill
We have made acquisitions in the past that included a significant amount of goodwill and other
intangible assets. Under generally accepted accounting principles in effect through December 31,
2001, these assets were amortized over their estimated useful lives, and were tested periodically
to determine if they were recoverable from operating earnings on an undiscounted basis over their
useful lives. Effective in 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to an annual (or
under certain circumstances more frequent) impairment test based on its estimated fair value.
Estimated fair value is less than value based on undiscounted operating earnings because fair value
estimates include a discount factor in valuing future cash flows. There are many assumptions and
estimates underlying the determination of an impairment loss, including economic and competitive
conditions, operating costs and efficiencies. Another estimate using different, but still
reasonable, assumptions could produce a significantly different result. As part of our 2003 and
2004 year-end assessment, we updated our long-term projections for the building automation and
controls business and estimated the fair value based on the discounted current value of the
expected future cash flows. We then compared the implied fair value of the goodwill to its
carrying value and determined that the value of the goodwill was not impaired. In February 2006 we
signed a non-binding letter of intent to sell Great Lakes Controlled Energy. To determine if our
goodwill would be impaired as a result of the expected sale, we compared the carrying value of the
goodwill related to Great Lakes to the expected sale price of the business and determined that the
goodwill is impaired. As a result we have recorded an impairment loss as of December 31, 2005 of
$242,830. It is possible that upon completion of future impairment tests, as the result of
changes in facts or circumstances, we may have to take additional charges in future periods to
recognize a further write-down of the value of the goodwill attributed to our acquisitions to their
estimated fair values.
Material Trends and Uncertainties
From time to time changes occur in our industry or our business that makes it reasonably
likely that aspects of our future operating results will be materially different than historical
operating results. Sometimes these matters have not occurred, but their existence is sufficient to
raise doubt regarding the likelihood that historical operating results are an accurate gauge of
future performance. We attempt to identify and describe these trends, events, and uncertainties to
assist investors in assessing the likely future performance of the Company. Investors should
understand that these matters typically are new, sometimes unforeseen, and often are fluid in
nature. Moreover, the matters described below are not the only issues that can result in variances
between past and future performance nor are they necessarily the only material trends, events, and
uncertainties that will affect the Company. As a result, investors are encouraged to use this and
other information to judge for themselves the likelihood that past performance will be indicative
of future performance.
The trends, events, and uncertainties set out in the remainder of this section have been
identified as those we believe are reasonably likely to materially affect the comparison of
historical operating results reported herein to either other past period results or to future
operating results. These trends, events and uncertainties include:
Changes in our senior management and on our Board of Directors. In January 2006, our
Chief Executive Officer for the past six years, Mr. John Mitola, resigned and was replaced by one
of our Board members, Mr. David Asplund. At approximately the same time, Mr. Robert Manning, the
Chairman of our Board of Directors for the past 5-1/2 years announced his retirement. Mr.
Mannings seat on the Board of Directors was filled by Mr. Richard Kiphart, an investor in the
Company, and Mr. Kiphart was also elected to serve as our Chairman until our next meeting of
stockholders. We also recently added Messrs. Daniel Parke, William Carey and Gregory Barnum to our
Board of Directors. These changes in our Senior Management and Board of Directors may result in
changes to our business plan, such as the planned sale of Great Lakes Controlled Energy. The
disposal of this business will result in a reduction in
24
revenue and could result in a charge to earnings during 2006. The Building Automation
Controls business was responsible for approximately 25% of our 2005 revenue and posted an operating
loss of $305,497 during 2005, including a $242,830 charge related to the impairment of goodwill and
the allocation of corporate overhead. This business was expected to record revenue of
approximately $2 million during 2006 and little to no operating profit.
The acquisition of Maximum Performance Group. In May of 2005 we acquired Maximum
Performance Group, Inc. (MPG), the manufacturer of the eMAC line of HVAC and lighting
controllers. MPG was responsible for approximately 20% of our consolidated revenue for 2005 and
33% of our operating loss. We believe that MPG has the potential for significantly better
performance in future periods and that the 2005 results were heavily influenced by disruptions
related to the acquisition and integration with Electric City. MPGs products have historically
had margins that are generally better than those of our existing businesses, therefore we believe
its profitability should improve with increases in revenue. We recently announced new contracts at
MPG that should contribute to improved results during 2006.
Customer concentrations. We have historically relied on a small number of customers
each year for a significant portion of our revenue. Seldom has a customer that represented 10% or
more of our revenues in one year also represented more than 10% of our revenue in the following
year. This means that we have had to find major new customers each year to replace major customers
whose needs have been satisfied from the prior year. We hope that some of the changes that we are
currently implementing to our sales strategy will decrease our dependence on large customers,
thereby diversifying our customer base and reducing the risk of associated with having to replace a
customer once we have completed our contract with them. We believe that the monitoring services
MPG sells will also help to mitigate this risk because they represent a base of recurring contract
revenue. While this monitoring revenue only represented approximately 10% of our 2005 consolidated
revenue, we believe it will continue to grow with the continued sale of eMACs.
Results of Operations
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2005, we incurred a net loss of $6.9 million
and used $7.0 million of cash for operating activities. Primarily as a result of our continuing
losses and lack of liquidity our independent registered public accounting firm modified their
opinion on our December 31, 2005 Consolidated Financial Statement to contain a paragraph wherein
they expressed a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have taken
steps to improve our current liquidity and provide the growth capital necessary to fund our plan
for 2006 and for future growth. Our efforts to raise additional capital are discussed below.
Our revenues reflect the sale of our products and services, net of allowances for returns and
other adjustments. Electric Citys sales are generated from the sale of products and services,
primarily in the U.S. One customer accounted for approximately 30% of our consolidated billing
during the year ended December 31, 2005 and two customers collectively accounted for 57% of our
consolidated revenue during the year ended December 31, 2004.
Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of materials and labor. Also included in our cost of
goods sold are freight, the costs of operating our manufacturing facility, charges from the
contract manufacturer that manufactures the eMAC line of controllers, charges from outside
contractors used to install our product in our customers facilities, depreciation, charges for
potential future warranty claims and royalty costs related to EnergySaver sales.
25
Sales and gross profits depend in part on the volume and mix of products sold during any given
period. Generally our proprietary products have a higher gross profit margin than products and
services that we purchase and resell.
A portion of our operating expense is relatively fixed, such as the cost of our facilities.
Accordingly, an increase in the volume of sales will generally result in an increase to our gross
margins since these fixed expenses do not increase proportionately with sales. We have never fully
utilized the manufacturing capacity of our facilities and, therefore, believe that the fixed nature
of some of our expenses would contribute to an increase in our gross margin in future periods if
sales volumes increase. In particular we believe that our facility in Elk Grove Village can
support a sales level of EnergySavers of approximately $15 million to $20 million without a
significant additional investment in fixed assets. It is our intent to outsource manufacturing to
third party contract manufacturers once we approach the capacity of our current facility.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses include the following components:
|
|
|
direct labor and commission costs related to our employee sales force; |
|
|
|
|
expenses related to our non-manufacturing management, supervisory and staff
salaries and employee benefits; |
|
|
|
|
commission costs related to our independent sales representatives and our
distributors; |
|
|
|
|
costs related to insurance, travel and entertainment and office supplies and the
cost of non-manufacturing utilities; |
|
|
|
|
costs related to marketing and advertising our products; |
|
|
|
|
legal and accounting expenses; |
|
|
|
|
research and development expenses; |
|
|
|
|
costs related to administrative functions that serve to support the existing
businesses of the Company, as well as to provide the infrastructure for future
growth. |
Interest expense for continuing operations includes the costs and expenses associated with
working capital indebtedness, the mortgage on our headquarters building, convertible term loans,
and various auto loans, all as reflected on our current and prior financial statements. Also
included in interest expense is amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs. The
debt discount includes the fair value of the warrants issued to Laurus Master Fund in 2003 and
2005, as well as the value of the beneficial conversion feature attributed to the Convertible Term
Loan which we entered into in 2003.
Twelve-Month Period Ended December 31, 2005 Compared With the Twelve-Month Period Ended December
31, 2004
Revenue. Our revenue increased $2,442,137, or 101.2% to $4,854,772 during the year ended
December 31, 2005 from $2,412,635 during the year ended December 31, 2004. Approximately $950,000
or 39% of the increase was due to the acquisition of Maximum Performance Group in May 2005.
EnergySaver related sales increased approximately $1,700,000 during 2005 over the year earlier
period as the result of increased EnergySaver sales. Unit sales of EnergySavers increased 198%
from 67 units in 2004 to 200 units in 2005. One customer was responsible for a significant portion
of this increase. We are continuing to ship product to this customer into 2006, but at a reduced
level. Approximately $325,000 of the increase in revenue was due to a short term utility consulting
project completed in May 2005. Revenue for 2005 also included VNPP curtailment services of
approximately $16,000. We hope to see continued improvement in EnergySaver and eMAC sales as a
result of a recent restructuring of our sales strategy that places an increase emphasis on
commercial sales. We expect a decline in revenue if we close on the sale of our Building Automation Control business, but we
expect this to be at least partially offset by a full year of MPG revenue.
26
Gross Profit. Our consolidated gross profit increased $255,014, or 231% in 2005 to $365,545
from $110,531 and our gross profit margin improved to 7.5% in 2005 from 4.6% in 2004. The increase
in gross profit was due to recognition of profit on a building automation control project that was
completed during the first quarter; to a consulting assignment completed in May 2005 by the Energy
Technology segment; and to improved margins on EnergySaver sales primarily as the result of
increased volume. The profit on the building automation control project and the consulting
assignment are not likely to be repeated in future periods. Our margins on EnergySaver and eMAC
sales are expected to improve during 2006 as sales of these products increase.
SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,807,633 or 38.9% to
$6,450,836 during 2005 from $4,643,203 in 2004. The acquisition and integration of Maximum
Performance Group in May 2005 was responsible for approximately $1,840,000 of the increase. We
expect SG&A to increase moderately during 2006 as the result of a full twelve months of expense
from Maximum Performance Group and the implementation of FAS 123 (R) which requires that we expense
employee options beginning in the first quarter of 2006.
Impairment Loss. We incurred an impairment loss of $242,830 during 2005 related to the
reduction in carrying value of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Great Lakes Controlled
Energy. In February 2006 we signed a non-binding letter of intent to sell Great Lakes Controlled
Energy. We compared the carrying value of the goodwill related to Great Lakes to the expected sale
price of the business and determined that the goodwill was impaired. As a result we recorded an
impairment loss as of December 31, 2005 of $242,830. There was no impairment loss recorded in
2004.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expense). Other non-operating expense is comprised of interest
expense and interest income. Interest expense declined $45,841 to $603,354 during 2005 from
$649,195 during 2004. Amortization of the deferred issuance costs and debt discount related to the
Laurus revolver and convertible term loans, which are included in interest expense, declined
$409,026 to $165,411 for 2005 from $574,437 during 2004. The deferred issuance costs and debt
discount are being amortized using the effective interest method, thus decline as the outstanding
balance on the related term loan is repaid or converted. During January 2004, Laurus converted a
portion of its term loan resulting in accelerated recognition of $193,000 in amortization expense.
No such conversions occurred during 2005. Other interest expense increased $203,149 primarily as a
result of borrowings under the revolver, a new $5,000,000 term loan entered into in late November
2005, and higher interest rates. There were no borrowings under the revolver during 2004. During
the second quarter of 2005 we issued a 5 year warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of our common
stock at $1.00 per share to Laurus in exchange for its consent and waiver to permit us to complete
a sale of common stock and warrants to a group of investors for gross proceeds of $5,625,000 and to
acquire MPG. This warrant was valued at $160,000 using a modified Black-Sholes option pricing
model and the value was charged to interest expense during the period. Interest income increased
$36,232 to $58,737 during 2005 from $22,505 earned in 2004. The increase in interest income was
due to higher average invested cash balances and increases in the interest rates paid on the
invested balances.

Our dividend expense for 2005 declined $2,787,914 or 60.1% to $1,851,345 from $4,639,259
in 2004. We accrued dividends of $1,366,900 and $1,636,780 on our Convertible Preferred Stock
during 2005 and 2004, respectively. This decline in accrued dividends was the result of the
reduction in the number of preferred shares outstanding and a reduction in the dividend rate that
resulted from the redemption and exchange effected in March 2004. The dividends accrued during
2005 and 2004 were satisfied through the issuance of 13,669 shares of preferred stock (convertible
into 1,366,900 shares of common stock) and 16,368 shares of preferred stock (convertible into
1,636,800 shares of common stock), respectively. We were required to recognize a non-cash deemed
dividend of $1,127,021 during 2004 due to the fact that the conversion price on these dividend
shares was lower than the market price of our common stock on the date of issue.
On April 28, 2005 we issued to five (5) institutional investors, for an aggregate gross
purchase price of $5,625,000, 6,250,000 shares of the Companys common stock and 42 month warrants
to purchase 3,125,000 additional shares of common stock at $1.05 per share. Due to the sale price
of the securities issued as part of this transaction we were required to adjust the exercise price
on warrants to purchase 5,054,830 shares if its common stock held by two investors who had
participated in earlier equity offerings. The exercise prices on these warrants were reduced from
$2.42 and $1.00, respectively to $0.90. We compared the value of the warrants with the old
exercise price to the value of the warrants
28
with the reduced exercise price, through the use of a modified Black-Sholes option pricing
model, and determined that the reduction in the exercise price had increased the value of the
warrants by $484,445. Since these warrants were issued as part of a security offering the increase
in value is considered to be a deemed dividend to the security holders. We recorded the deemed
dividend by offsetting charges and credits to additional paid-in capital, without any effect on
total stockholders equity.
As part of the redemption and exchange completed in March 2004, shares of old preferred stock
were exchanged for shares of the new Series E preferred stock at the rate of 10 shares of old
preferred for each share of new Series E preferred stock. Additionally, each share of old
preferred stock was convertible into 10 shares of common stock, whereas each share of new Series E
convertible preferred stock is convertible into 100 shares of common stock. Despite the fact that
we believe the redemption and exchange transaction was favorable for the Company and its common
stockholders (see note 17(k) to the financial statements), we were required to record a non-cash
deemed dividend on the transaction of $1,860,458. For accounting purposes the transaction was
viewed as a redemption for cash and shares of Series E Preferred stock. The non-cash deemed
dividend was determined by comparing the fair value of the consideration given (the cash and the
market value of the Series E Preferred) to the carrying value of the old preferred stock that was
redeemed. The fair value of the consideration given exceeded the carrying value of the old
preferred primarily due to the fact that the market price of our common stock was higher on the day
the redemption and exchange transaction closed than it was when the shares of the old preferred
stock were originally issued.
We also incurred a $15,000 deemed dividend during 2004 when we agreed to extend the expiration
date on warrants to purchase shares of our Series E Convertible Preferred stock from September 30,
2004 to December 31, 2004. We agreed to extend these warrants to permit holders who participated
in the redemption and exchange more time to exercise their warrants without violating the short
swing trading rules of section 16(b) of the Securities Act of 1934 or our insider trading policy
which prohibits the trading of our securities during certain blackout periods prior to the filing
of our financial statements.
As is more fully described in Note 17(k) to our financial statements, we completed a
redemption and exchange offering on March 22, 2004 in which we redeemed 538,462 shares of our
outstanding Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the Old Preferred), and
exchanged the remaining 2,104,509 shares of Old Preferred into 210,451 shares of a new Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock at the rate of 10 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock for
each share of Old Preferred. The Old Preferred Stock carried a dividend rate of 10% payable at the
Companys election in cash or in additional shares of Preferred Stock during the first three years
following issuance. After the third anniversary of issuance we were required to pay all dividends
in cash and the dividend rate was to increase by 1/2% every six months until it reached 15%, where it
would remain until the shares were converted or redeemed. The Series E Preferred carries a 6%
dividend that is payable at the Companys election in cash or additional shares of Series E
Preferred for as long as the shares remain outstanding. The reduction in the number of outstanding
shares of preferred stock, in combination with the reduction in the dividend rate, significantly
reduces the dilutive effect of the payment-in-kind dividend on our preferred stock in periods after
March 22, 2004.
29
Twelve-Month Period Ended December 31, 2004 Compared With the Twelve-Month Period Ended December
31, 2003
Revenue. Our revenue declined $2,219,198 or 47.9% to $2,412,635 during the year ended
December 31, 2004 from $4,631,833 during the year earlier period. Revenue from the sale of
EnergySaver related products and services declined $1,330,467 or 64.5% to $733,630 from $2,064,097
in 2003. Energy Saver unit sales declined 69.1% from 217 units in 2003 to 67 units during 2004
(excluding units shipped under the ComEd VNPP program). The decline in EnergySaver related revenue
was directly attributable to our decision to focus on utility programs such as the ComEd and
Pacificorp VNPP programs, rather than on commercial sales as we had in past years. As of December
31, 2004, we had shipped 89 EnergySavers to 52 customer hosts under the ComEd program, but we had
not recognized revenue related to this program pending completion of an amendment to the existing
agreement with ComEd. This amendment was never completed due to a delay in approval of regulatory
changes necessary to implement portions of the amendment.
The ComEd VNPP is structured as a service agreement with a 13 year term in which Electric City
will provide up to 50 MWs of curtailment capacity to ComEd at a fixed price per kilowatt of
installed capacity, payable quarterly in arrears whether the capacity is used or not as the
capacity is installed. We will recognize revenue and expense under the ComEd program over the life
of the contract. The PacifiCorp program is similar to the existing ComEd contract, as a result
revenue and expenses will be recognized over the 10-year term of the contract. Both contracts are
structured such that there are no penalties for delivering less than the targeted curtailment
capacities, but we will only be compensated for the actual capacity delivered.
Revenue at our building automation and controls segment declined 34.9% to $1,705,341 in 2004
from $2,618,486 in 2003. Revenue in this segment is recognized as work is completed and material
is delivered to the job site, thus will vary based on the level of activity during a particular
period. This segment completed two of the five long-term projects it was working on during the
fourth quarter of 2003, one during the first quarter of 2004 and another during the fourth quarter
of 2004. The last of the five long term projects was completed during the first quarter of 2005.
Gross Profit. Our consolidated gross profit declined $79,615 or 41.9% to $110,531during 2004,
as compared to $190,146 earned during 2003, while our gross margin during 2004 increased to 4.6%
from 4.1% in 2003. The EnergySaver related business generated a loss at the gross profit line of
approximately $130,000 during 2004 as compared to earning a gross profit of approximately $296,000
during 2003. The decline in profitability was due primarily to the decline in revenue and the
shift in focus to our utility programs. The building automation controls business recognized a
gross profit of approximately $240,000 during 2004, as compared to a loss of approximately $106,000
in 2003. The improvement in the gross profit in 2004 was the result of recognition of profit on
long term jobs that were completed during the year.
SG&A Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $353,125 or 8.2% to
$4,643,203 in 2004 from $4,290,078 in 2003. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to
legal costs related to an arbitration we were involved in with a dealer which contributed to a
$640,000 increase in legal expenses during 2004. If it were not for this legal expense our SG&A
would have declined year over year as a result of reductions in labor costs, sales commissions to
third party dealers and distributors and travel and entertainment expenses. The dealer arbitration
was settled in February 2005.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expense). Other non-operating expense is comprised of interest
expense and interest income. Interest expense increased $283,507 to $649,195 during 2004 from
$365,688 in 2003. Almost all of the increase in interest expense during 2004 was due to a $268,815
increase in amortization of deferred issuance costs and the original issue discount. Interest
expense
30
included amortization expense totaling $574,437 for 2004 as compared to $305,622 for 2003.
Interest income increased $12,176 or 117.9% to $22,505 for 2004 as compared to $10,329 for 2003.
The increase in interest income is the result of higher interest rates earned on invested balances
and higher average invested balances.
Discontinued Operations. During 2003 we agreed to sell substantially all of the assets and to
transfer most of the liabilities of our Power Management segment to a group of investors that
included members of the segments management. The sale closed on June 3, 2003, effective as of May
31, 2003. As required by SFAS 144 we have presented the operating results as well as the loss on
disposal for this segment as discontinued operations. During the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2003 the Power Management segments operating loss was $262,503 and in addition, we
recognized a $764,148 loss on the disposal of the segment during 2003.
Preferred Stock Dividends. The dividend expense recognized during 2004 and 2003 was comprised

Our dividend expense for 2004 declined $178,658 or 3.7% to $4,639,259 from $4,817,917 for
2003. We accrued dividends of $1,636,780 and $2,551,379 on our Convertible Preferred Stock during
2004 and 2003, respectively. This decline in accrued dividends was the result of the reduction in
the
31
number of preferred shares outstanding and a reduction in the dividend rate that resulted from
the redemption and exchange effected in March 2004. Also contributing to the decline was a
reduction in the number of preferred shares outstanding resulting from the voluntary conversion of
shares of preferred stock into 1,956,700 shares of common stock. The dividends accrued during 2004
and 2003 were satisfied through the issuance of 16,368 shares of preferred stock (convertible into
1,636,800 shares of common stock) and 255,138 shares of preferred stock (convertible into 2,551,380
shares of common stock), respectively. We were required to recognize non-cash deemed dividends of
$1,127,021 and $1,879,554 during 2004 and 2003, respectively, due to the fact that the conversion
price on these dividend shares was lower than the market price of our common stock on the date of
issue. As part of the redemption and exchange completed in March 2004, shares of old preferred
stock were exchanged for shares of the new Series E preferred stock at the rate of 10 shares of old
preferred for each share of new Series E preferred stock. Additionally, each share of old
preferred stock was convertible into 10 shares of common stock, whereas each share of new Series E
preferred stock is convertible into 100 shares of common stock. The decline in this deemed
dividend is primarily the result of the reduction in the difference between the market price of our
common stock and the conversion price of the dividend shares on the date of issuance of these
dividend shares. In addition, despite the fact that we believe the redemption and exchange
transaction was favorable for the Company and its common stockholders (see note 17(k) to the
financial statements), we were required to record a non-cash deemed dividend on the transaction of
$1,860,458. For accounting purposes the transaction was viewed as a redemption for cash and shares
of Series E Preferred stock. The non-cash deemed dividend was determined by comparing the fair
value of the consideration given (the cash and the market value of the Series E Preferred) to the
carrying value of the preferred stock that was redeemed. The fair value of the consideration given
exceeded the carrying value of the existing preferred primarily due to the fact that the market
price of our common stock was higher on the day the redemption and exchange transaction closed than
it was when the shares of the old preferred stock were originally issued. We also incurred a
$15,000 deemed dividend during 2004 when we agreed to extend the expiration date on warrants to
purchase shares of our Series E Convertible Preferred stock from September 30, 2004 to December 31,
2004. We agreed to extend these warrants to permit holders who participated in the redemption and
exchange more time to exercise their warrants so that if they chose to exercise they could do so
without violating the short swing trading rules of section 16(b) of the Securities Act of 1934 or
our insider trading policy which prohibits the trading of our securities during certain blackout
periods prior to the filing of our financial statements. Dividend expenses for 2003 also included
$386,984 of non-cash deemed dividends associated with the issuance of the Series D Convertible
Preferred stock. Again this was due to the fact that the conversion price on the Series D was
lower than the market price when the shares of Series D were issued.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2005 we incurred a net loss of $6.9
million and used $7.0 million of cash for operating activities. Primarily as a result of our
continuing losses and lack of liquidity our independent registered public accounting firm modified
their opinion on our December 31, 2005 Consolidated Financial Statement to contain a paragraph
wherein they expressed a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We
have taken steps to improve our current liquidity and provide the growth capital necessary to fund
our plan for 2006 and for future growth. Our efforts to raise additional capital are discussed
below.
As of December 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,229,150, compared to cash and
cash equivalents of $1,789,808 on December 31, 2004. Our contractual obligations as of December
31, 2005 totaled $6,774,599, as detailed below.
The Companys principal cash requirements are for operating expenses, including employee
costs, the costs related to research and development, advertising costs, the cost of outside
services including those providing contract manufacturing, accounting, legal, engineering and
electrical contracting services, and the funding of inventory and accounts receivable, and capital
expenditures. The
32
Company has financed its operations since inception primarily through the private placement of
its common and preferred stock, as well as through various forms of secured debt.

2005 Compared to 2004
Net cash increased $2,439,342 during the year ended December 31, 2005, while net cash declined
$677,215 during the year ended December 31, 2004.
Operating Activities
The cash consumed by operating activities increased $2,917,584 or 72.2% to $6,956,642 during
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2005 as compared to consuming $4,039,058 during the
twelve-month period ended December 31, 2004. The loss from operations was the primary contributor
to the cash consumed in operating activities in both years. The increase in cash consumed in
operating activities in 2005 was largely the result of the acquisition of Maximum Performance Group
in May 2005, which consumed approximately $2.5 million of cash for operating activities. Most of
the remaining increase was related to a decline in accounts payable at our other companies, meaning
that we used cash to pay down such payables.
Investing Activities
Investing activities consumed $2,181,846 in 2005, and increased $2,032,243 from the $149,603
consumed in 2004. During 2005 we used $1,632,972 for the acquisition of Maximum Performance Group,
including $1,632,078 paid to the selling shareholders, and $137,386 of transaction costs less cash
acquired of $136,492. We also invested $478,249 in VNPP assets and purchased furniture, equipment
and vehicles totaling $70,625 during 2005. During 2004 we invested $135,512 in VNPP assets and
$14,091 in manufacturing and office equipment.
Financing Activities
Financing activities generated $11,577,830 during the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared
to generating $3,511,446 during the year ended December 31, 2004. In April of 2005, we raised
$5,625,000 through the private placement of 6,250,000 shares of our common stock. We incurred
$211,787 in expenses related to this issuance. In November of 2005 we borrowed $5 million under a
secured convertible term loan and incurred $293,836 in expenses related to the transaction. During
the year we also drew $2 million on our revolving line of credit and made scheduled payments of
$385,000
33
on a term loan, $36,000 on our mortgage, $95,349 on amounts owed to the selling shareholders of
Maximum Performance Group and approximately $25,000 on various auto loans and capitalized leases.
During 2004, we raised $11,000,000 through the issuance of a package of securities that
included shares of our common stock and common stock warrants. We used $7,000,006 of the net
proceeds from this issuance to effectuate a redemption and exchange offer for our Series A, Series
C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. We incurred expenses related to these transactions of
$910,393. During the period we also made scheduled principal payments on our mortgage and auto
loan of $39,155 and received $461,000 in net proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase
shares of our common and preferred stock.
2004 Compared to 2003
Net cash declined $677,215 during the year ended December 31, 2004 while net cash increased
$911,119 during the year ended December 31, 2003.
Operating Activities
The cash consumed by operating activities increased $1,208,941 or 42.7% to $4,039,058 during
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2004 as compared to consuming $2,830,117 during the
twelve-month period ended December 31, 2003. The cash consumed by operating activities in both
periods are largely the result of losses from operations. The increase in cash used in operating
activities during 2004 was primarily attributable to the increase in SG&A expense and lower gross
profit realized during the year, partially offset by the elimination of the loss from discontinued
operations.
Investing Activities
Investing activities consumed $149,603 during the 2004 compared to generating cash of $896,728
during 2003. The increase in investing activities for 2004 primarily reflects the costs of
building and installing equipment for the ComEd VNPP program. These capitalized costs will be
amortized over the term of the underlying contract with ComEd. During 2003, we sold certain assets
and transferred certain liabilities of our Power Management business, generating cash proceeds of
$929,032.
Financing Activities
Financing activities generated cash of $3,511,446 during 2004 as compared to generating cash
of $2,844,508 during 2003. During 2004, we raised $11,000,000 through the issuance of a package of
securities that included shares of our common stock and common stock warrants. We used $7,000,006
of the net proceeds from this issuance to effectuate a redemption and exchange offer for our Series
A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. We incurred expenses related to these
transactions of $910,393. During the period we also made scheduled principal payments on our
mortgage and auto loan of $39,155 and received $461,000 in net proceeds from the exercise of
warrants to purchase shares of our common and preferred stock.
During 2003 we raised $1,000,000 in gross proceeds through the issuance of a convertible term
note to Laurus Funds. These proceeds were partially offset by issuance costs totaling $308,228.
In November 2003 Laurus converted $52,346 in principal of the note into shares of our common stock.
We also raised gross proceeds of $1.5 million from the issuance of our Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock and $1,669,914 from the issuance of 1,815,125 shares of our common stock in three
separate private placements during 2003. The proceeds from these private placements of our common
stock were partially offset by issuance costs of $297,462. During 2003, various holders of
warrants exercised their rights under the warrants generating $197,000 in cash. We used a portion
of the proceeds generated from the
34
sale of our Power Management segment to repay $298,000 in equipment loans and to pay down to
zero the outstanding balance on our revolving line of credit of $500,000. We also prepaid $47,000
on our mortgage as an inducement for the lender to refinance the mortgage and extend the maturity
until February 1, 2005. We made scheduled payments during 2003 of $33,000 on our mortgage, $51,500
on our equipment loan, and $7,014 on various auto loans. We also received a payment of $798 from
a board member that represented the short-swing profit inadvertently earned when he purchased
shares of our stock within six months of selling shares, which is a violation of section 16(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
LIQUIDITY
Our primary sources of liquidity are our available cash reserves and borrowing capacity under
our working capital line.
During fiscal 2005, operating activities consumed cash of $7.0 million. We are in the process
of implementing changes that we hope will reduce cash consumed by operating activities to a level
of less than $3 million during 2006. We will also require cash
during 2006 to satisfy scheduled
debt amortization of approximately $659,000 and any required payments on our revolving credit line.
In January 2006 we were required to repay approximately $872,000 on the revolving credit line due
to the decline in our borrowing base. We may be required to make additional repayments if our
borrowing base declines further. Conversely, we will be able to re-borrow on the revolving line of
credit if our borrowing base increases. In order to assure adequate liquidity throughout 2006, we
plan to attempt to raise an additional $3 to $5 million through a private placement of our equity,
though there is no assurance that we will be successful in raising this additional capital.
We currently have a $2 million secured convertible working capital line with Laurus Master
Fund, Ltd. (Laurus). As of December 31, 2005 we had borrowed the $2,000,000 available under the
facility. The shift in our focus during 2003 and 2004 away from commercial sales to utility
programs resulted in a significant reduction in the amount of receivables generated. As of
December 31, 2004 eligible receivables would have supported borrowings of approximately $89,000
under the facility. To address the problem created by our low borrowing base, we negotiated an
amendment to the Laurus credit facility in February 2005, which among other things granted us an
overadvance on the working capital line though December 2005. On February 28, 2005 we borrowed the
full $2 million available under the facility without the requirement that we have eligible
receivables to support the advance. As of December 31, 2005 when the overadvance period ended, it
was determined that we only had eligible receivables to support borrowings of $1,128,248 under the
facility, as a result we repaid $871,752 on the line in January 2006. We can re-borrow any portion
of this repayment if our borrowing base increases in future periods. For a more detailed
description of this credit facility and the amendment, please see note 10 of our consolidated
financial statements.
Our ability to continue the development, manufacturing and expansion of sales of our products,
including the EnergySaver, the GlobalCommander and the eMAC, will require the continued commitment
of significant funds. The actual timing and amount of our future funding requirements will depend
on many factors, including the amount and timing of future revenues, the level and amount of
product marketing and sales efforts, the magnitude of research and development, and our ability to
improve margins on our products.
35
During the last five fiscal years we have raised net proceeds of $34.0 million through the
issuance of shares of our common and preferred stock and notes, which has allowed us to continue to
execute our business plan. Most of these funds have been consumed by operating activities, either
to fund our losses or for working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2005 our cash balance
was $4,229,150. In an attempt to move the Company to a position where it can start to generate
positive cash flow our management has set the following key strategies for cash flow improvement in
2006:
|
|
|
Focus on increasing the commercial sales of our products. Key to this strategy
is the integration of the Electric City and MPG sales forces with the intent that the
integrated sales force will sell all of our products to current, prior and future
customers. We believe that this change will increase our base of commercial opportunities
and allow us to offer a broader array of energy solutions to our customers thereby
increasing the value of each customer relationship. This reorganization of our sales
staffs will involve the cross training of all of our sales people in the sale of the
EnergySaver, eMAC and other energy conservation products and services. We also plan to
hire additional sales people in an attempt to expand our commercial sales efforts. |
|
|
|
|
Expand and improve the product line through internal development or acquisition.
An expanded product line would allow us to offer additional solutions to our customers,
thereby increasing the value of each customer relationship. |
|
|
|
|
Aggressively manage our costs in order to conserve cash. We made some progress
in reducing our costs during the last several years, but we plan to focus on eliminating
redundant operations and leveraging the synergies available as a result of the acquisition
of MPG to further reduce our costs. |
|
|
|
|
Sell our Building Automation Controls business. The sale of this business will
allow us to focus exclusively on the sale of our Energy Technology products and services
and will reduce the cash consumed in future periods. |
|
|
|
|
Secure additional capital to continue to fund operations until the business turns
cash flow positive. Our ability to raise additional capital in the future will depend
a great deal on our ability to make progress toward the goals outline above. |
We believe that if we are successful in achieving these priorities we should have sufficient
liquidity to allow us to operate until our operations turn cash flow positive. If we are not able
to achieve some or all of these priorities we may begin to experience a liquidity shortage in the
latter half of 2006 which could force us to scale back our growth plans, or in the worst case cease
operations.
If we raise additional capital (which may require stockholder approval), our existing
stockholders will likely experience dilution of their present equity ownership position and voting
rights, depending upon the number of shares issued and the terms and conditions of the issuance.
The new equity securities will likely have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our
common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This statement revises
FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on the accounting
for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.
SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the cost of employee
services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value
of those awards (with limited exceptions). This Statement is effective as of the first reporting
period that begins after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, we will adopt SFAS 123(R) in our first quarter
of fiscal 2006. We are currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and have not yet
determined the impact that this Statement will have on our results of operations or financial
position. In March 2005, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) to
give guidance on the implementation of SFAS 123R. We will consider SAB 107 during implementation
of SFAS 123R.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections A
Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS No. 154). SFAS No. 154 requires
the retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting
principle, unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific effects or cumulative
effect of the accounting change. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in depreciation,
amortization, or depletion method for long-lived non-financial assets be accounted for as a change
in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2005.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
The only significant exposure the Company has to market risk is the risk of changes in market
interest rates. The interest rates on the Companys debt facilities are variable and change with
changes in the prime rate. The interest rates on the Companys convertible term loans floats at
between 1.75% and 2.00% over the prime rate, subject to floors of between 6.0% and 6.75%. The
interest rate on our revolving loan is equal to prime plus 1.75%. The interest rate on the
Companys mortgage is equal to the prime rate plus 1/2%. As of December 31, 2005, the prime rate was
7.25%. If the prime rate were to increase 1 percentage point, the aggregate annual interest cost
on the mortgage, term loans and revolving loan would increase by approximately $80,000.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Electric City Corp.
Elk Grove Village, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Electric City Corp. as of December
31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. We have also audited
the schedule in the accompanying index. These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedule are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements and schedule, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements and schedule. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Electric City Corp. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
Also, in our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set
forth therein.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flow from operations that raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to
these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note
1 Description of Business
Electric City Corp. (the Company), a Delaware corporation, is a developer, manufacturer and
integrator of energy savings technologies and building automation systems. The Company is made up
of three separate companies, comprising two distinct business segments: Electric City Corp. and
Maximum Performance Group, Inc. comprise the Energy Technology segment and Great Lakes Controlled
Energy Corporation comprises the Building Control and Automation segment. Electric City and Great
Lakes Controlled Energy operate out of separate facilities, both located in Elk Grove Village,
Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Maximum Performance Group is headquartered in New York City with a
sales and engineering office in San Diego, California. In January 2006, the Company made the
decision to sell Great Lakes in order to focus exclusively on its Energy Technology products. In
February 2006 it signed a letter of intent to sell its Building Control and Automation business to
the former owners, though for purposes of these financial statements it is presented as continuing
operations. The sale is expected to close before the end of March 2006.
Note 2 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern
basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has experienced operating losses and negative cash flow
from operations since inception and currently has an accumulated deficit. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys
ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent on its ability to obtain additional
funding and increase sales to a level that will allow it to operate profitably and sustain positive
operating cash flows. In January 2006, the Company announced that its Chief Executive Officer had
resigned and been replaced by a member of the Board of Directors. The new CEO has begun to
implement changes that he hopes will improve the Companys sales and profitability. The Company
anticipates that it will raise additional capital before the end of 2006 in order to continue to
fund operations while it works to improve profitability and cash flow. The Company has
historically funded its operations through the issuance of additional equity and secured debt.
However, there is no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in obtaining
additional funding in the future or improving its operating results. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Electric City Corp. and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, Great Lakes Controlled Energy Corporation and Maximum Performance Group,
Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Electric City Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Risk
The Companys customers are primarily distributors of its EnergySaver product line, building
owners, general contractors and electrical contractors. One customer accounted for 30% of the
Companys consolidated billings during the year ended December 31, 2005. During the year ended
December 31, 2004 two customers accounted for 46% and 11% of the Companys consolidated revenue,
respectively, and four customers accounted for 26%, 15%, 12% and 10% of the Companys consolidated
revenue, respectively during the year ended December 31, 2003. The customer that accounted for 30%
of the Companys consolidated sales in 2005 was not a customer of the Company in 2004. Of the
customers accounting for more than 10% of the Companys consolidated sales in 2004, one also
accounted for more than 10% of consolidated sales in 2003.
The Company purchases its raw materials from a variety of suppliers and continues to seek out
alternate suppliers for critical components so that it can be assured that its manufacturing
processes will not be interrupted by the inability of a single supplier to deliver product. During
the year ended December 31, 2005, no single supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Companys
total purchases. During the year ended December 31, 2004, three suppliers accounted for 23%, 17%
and 12% of the Companys total purchases, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2003,
one supplier accounted for 44% of the Companys total purchases.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in accounts with a financial institution in
excess of the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company monitors the
financial stability of this institution regularly and management does not believe there is
significant credit risk associated with deposits in excess of federally insured amounts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified
amounts that it believes to be uncollectible. If actual collections experience changes, revisions
to the allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the
receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available to it, the
Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. However, actual write-offs might
exceed the recorded allowance.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined utilizing the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Cost in Excess of Assets Acquired
Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired in
business combinations. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, requires the Company to assess goodwill for impairment at least annually
in the absence of an indicator of possible impairment and immediately upon an indicator of possible
impairment.

During the fourth quarters of 2004 and 2003, the Company completed its annual assessment
of impairment regarding the goodwill recorded for its Building Control and Automation segment.
Those assessments, supported by independent appraisals of the fair
value of the segment, did not
identify any impairment. However, the preliminary 2005 appraisal, made using customary valuation
methodologies, including discounted cash flows and fundamental analysis, did reveal a potential
impairment. Further supporting this assessment, in February 2006, the Company signed a letter of
intent to sell the segment for an amount below the carrying value of the reporting unit. The
decline in fair value of the Building Control and Automation segment is primarily the result of the
segment failing to meet earnings expectations, due in part to strong competitors in its markets.
As a result of this decline in fair value, the Company recorded an
impairment loss of $242,831 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
It is possible that upon completion of future impairment tests, as the result of changes
in facts or circumstances, the Company may have to take additional charges to recognize a further
write-down of the value of our acquisitions to their estimated fair values.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Deferred Financing Costs
The Company has capitalized as deferred financing costs $980,063 of expense incurred in
arranging its convertible revolving credit facility and convertible term loans. These deferred
financing costs are being amortized over the life of the related convertible term loan using the
effective interest method. Upon conversion of any portion of a term loan a corresponding portion
of the deferred financing costs are recognized as interest expense.
The Company included $93,774,
$382,710 and $203,616 of amortization of deferred financing costs in interest expense in 2005, 2004
and 2003, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and
circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items. Our cash flow
estimates are based on historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market
and operating conditions. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair
value. Our estimates of fair value represent our best estimate based on industry trends and
reference to market rates and transactions.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive
evidence has been received that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products and/or
services has occurred; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is
reasonably assured. In addition, the Company follows the provisions of the Securities and Exchange
Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which sets forth guidelines in
the timing of revenue recognition based upon factors such as passage of title, installation,
payments and customer acceptance. Any amounts received prior to satisfying the Companys revenue
recognition criteria is recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying balance sheet.
Revenues on long-term contracts are recorded under the percentage of completion method in
conjunction with the cost-to-cost method of measuring the extent of progress toward completion.
Any anticipated losses on contracts are charged to operations as soon as they are determinable.
Prior to the second quarter of 2005, due to its limited experience estimating the profitability on
its long-term contracts, the Company deferred all contract related profits (i.e. assumed zero
profit) until completion of the contract when the actual profit on the contract was known.
Starting in the second quarter of 2005 the Company began recognizing contract related profits based
on the projected profits for the contract, consistent with the AICPAs Statement of Position 81-1
(SOP 81-1).
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from contract payment schedules resulting in
revenues that have been earned but not yet billed. These amounts are recorded on the balance sheet
as Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. The Company
recorded costs and estimated profits in excess of billings on long-term jobs of $28,462 and $0 at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Billings on contracts that do not meet the Companys
revenue recognition policy requirements for which it has been paid or has a valid account
receivable are recorded as deferred revenue. Billings in excess of costs on long-term jobs
generated by our Building Control and Automation business of $241,154 and $387,419 are included
in deferred revenue at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
F-11
Electric City Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Under certain long-term contracts, customers may withhold payment of approximately 5% to 10%
of billings (retainage) until completion of the job. Retainage of $30,966 and $315,922 is
included in accounts receivable at December 31, 2005 and 2004. All of the retainage outstanding as
of December 31, 2005 is expected to be collected during fiscal 2006.
The Companys MPG subsidiary often bundles contracts to provide monitoring services and web
access with the sale of its eMAC hardware. As a result, these sales are considered to be contracts
with multiple deliverables which at the time the hardware is delivered and installed includes
undelivered services essential to the functionality of the product. Accordingly, the Company
defers the revenue for the product and services and the cost of the equipment and installation and
recognizes them over the term of the monitoring contract. The monitoring contracts vary in length
from 1 month to 5 years. Deferred revenue includes
$1,440,172 as of December 31, 2005, related to
these contracts.
The Company has entered into agreements in which it has contracted with utilities to establish
a Virtual Negawatt Power Plan (VNPP). Under these contracts, the Company installs Energy Saver
units at participating host locations (i.e. the utilitys customer). The participating host
locations receive the benefit of reduced utility costs through the operation of the units. The
Company is able to reduce electric demand requirements during periods of peak demand, providing
nearly instantaneous control, measurement and verification of load reduction. The utility companies
will pay the Company for the availability of this demand reduction and the Company will recognize
revenue under these contracts over the period for which the demand reduction is provided. Revenue
of $15,781 was recognized from these contracts during the fourth quarter of 2005. No revenue was
recognized under such contracts for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The cost of the
energy saver units currently at host locations under such VNPP programs is included in fixed assets
and depreciated over the term these units will be used under the existing contracts.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company classifies freight costs billed to customers as revenue. Costs related to freight
are classified as cost of sales.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in
selling, general and administrative expenses. Total research and development costs charged to
operations were approximately $400,000, $150,000 and $70,000 for the periods ended December 31,
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Advertising, Marketing and Promotional Costs
Expenditures on advertising, marketing and promotions are charged to operations in the period
incurred and totaled $7,000, $2,000, and $19,000 for the periods ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and
2003, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes
are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of the differences between the tax basis of
assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted
tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable earnings. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred
tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized.
Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes loss per share under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
Earnings Per Share. The statement requires presentation of two amounts; basic and diluted loss
per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders
by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Dilutive earnings per share would include all
common stock equivalents unless anti-dilutive. The Company has not included the outstanding
options, warrants, or convertible preferred stock as common stock equivalents because the effect
would be antidilutive.
The following table sets forth the weighted average shares issuable upon exercise of
outstanding options and warrants and conversion of preferred stock and convertible debt that is not
included in the basic and diluted net loss per share available to common stockholders:

Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term
nature of these amounts. The Companys long-term debt approximates fair value based on instruments
with similar terms.
Stock-based Compensation
At December 31, 2005, the Company had a stock-based compensation plan, which is described in
Note 19. The Company applied the recognition and intrinsic value measurement principles of
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related Interpretations in accounting for such plan. No stock-based compensation expense was
reflected in the 2005, 2004 or 2003 net loss as all options granted during those years had an
exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date
of the grant.

For purposes of the following pro forma disclosures as required by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, the fair value of each option granted after December 15,

Warranty Obligations
The Company warrants to the purchasers of its products that the product will be free of
defects in material and workmanship for one year from the date of installation. In addition, some
customers have purchased extended warranties for the Companys products that extend the base
warranty for up to ten years. The Company records the estimated cost that may be incurred under
its warranties at the time the product revenue is recognized based upon the relationship between
historical and anticipated warranty costs and sales volumes. The Company periodically assesses the
adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. While the
Company believes that its estimated liability for product warranties is adequate and that the
judgment applied is appropriate, the estimated liability for product warranties could differ
materially from actual future warranty costs. See Note 9 for additional information about the
Companys warranty liability.
Insurance Reserves
In October 2005, the Company implemented a partially self-funded health insurance program for
its employees. Under the program the Company is responsible for the first $35,000 of each
individual claim, but its exposure is limited on a monthly and cumulative basis through insurance
provided by a third party insurance company. The Company accrues on a monthly basis an amount
sufficient to cover its maximum exposure under the program. As of December 31, 2005 it had an
accrued liability of $57,231 to cover future claims under the program. At the end of the plan year
it will assess the adequacy of the reserve based on its claims history and adjust the reserve as
necessary.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This statement revises
FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on the accounting
for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.
SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the cost of employee
services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value
of those awards (with limited exceptions). This Statement is effective as of the first reporting
period that begins after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS 123(R) in its
first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and
has not yet determined the impact that this Statement will have on its results of operations or
financial position. In March 2005, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB
107) to give guidance on the implementation of SFAS 123R. The Company will consider SAB 107 during
implementation of SFAS 123R.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections A
Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS No. 154). SFAS No. 154 requires
the retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting
principle, unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific effects or cumulative
effect of the accounting change. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in depreciation,
amortization, or depletion method for long-lived non-financial assets be accounted for as a change
in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2005.

4 Acquisition of Maximum Performance Group, Inc.
On May 3, 2005, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) dated as
of April 28, 2005, by and among Electric City Corp., MPG Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Electric City (Merger Subsidiary), and Maximum Performance Group, Inc. (MPG),
Electric City acquired MPG through the merger of MPG with and into Merger Subsidiary, with Merger
Subsidiary continuing as the surviving corporation under the name Maximum Performance Group, Inc.
The merger consideration, after post closing adjustments, consisted of $1,632,972 in cash (net
of transaction costs of $137,386 and cash acquired of $136,492), 2,492,229 shares of Electric City
common stock and approximately 2,492,229 additional shares which have been placed in escrow. Total
consideration was $4,616,880, which consisted of $1,632,079 in cash, stock valued at $2,691,607
(based on the average closing price the Companys stock for the five days before and after the
announcement of the transaction of $1.08 per share), $137,386 in transaction costs plus commissions
paid to Delano Securities in the form of 125,484 shares of common stock valued at $1.00 per share
(the closing price of the Companys stock on the effective date of the transaction). The cash
portion of the consideration was funded with proceeds from a private placement of the Companys
common stock. (See note 17(r) for additional information on the private placement). If MPGs
revenues during the two years following the merger exceed an aggregate of $5,500,000 on a
cumulative basis, the escrow shares will be released to the former stockholders of MPG at the rate
of 202 shares for every $1,000 of revenue in excess of such amount. These shares will be valued at
the market price at the time they are released from escrow and will result in an increase in the
goodwill associated with the transaction. The escrow shares are also available to satisfy any
indemnification claims which the Company may have under the Merger Agreement, thus would reduce the
shares available for the selling stockholders of MPG. As a part of the transaction, the former
stockholders of MPG entered into a stock trading agreement with the Company which restricts their
ability to sell shares of the Companys common stock under certain circumstances. As a result of
the merger, Merger Subsidiary (which changed its name to Maximum Performance Group, Inc. pursuant
to the merger) became responsible for the liabilities of MPG, including approximately $232,000 in
payments owed to shareholders and affiliates and approximately $40,000 of bank debt and capitalized
lease obligations.
MPG is a technology based provider of energy and asset management products and services. MPG
currently manufactures and markets its eMAC line of controllers for HVAC and lighting applications.
The eMAC line of controllers provide intelligent control and continuous monitoring of HVAC and
lighting equipment via wireless technology to reduce energy usage and improve system reliability.
MPG, which had 2004 revenues of approximately $2.3 million, has offices in New York, New York and
San Diego, California.
Electric City acquired MPG to expand its product line of proprietary energy conservation
technologies and because it believed that the customer bases, technologies and personnel of the two
companies complemented each other well and could lead to an expansion of the combined entitys
market presence.
In connection with the acquisition of MPG, the Company appointed Leonard Pisano as Electric
Citys Chief Operating Officer, and Maximum Performance Group, Inc. entered into an employment
agreement with Mr. Pisano under which he will be employed for three years as its President.

10 Line of Credit
On September 11, 2003 the Company closed on a credit facility with Laurus Master Fund,
Ltd. (Laurus). The facility included a $1,000,000 convertible term loan and a $2,000,000
convertible revolving line of credit. The credit line replaced an expiring credit line the Company
had with American Chartered Bank. The Laurus revolving credit facility provides for borrowings of
up to the lesser of (i) $2 million or (ii) 90% of the Companys eligible accounts receivable. The
revolving credit facility had an initial term of two years, but on August 31, 2004 the maturity
date on the facility was extended to September 1, 2006. The revolving credit facility accrues
interest on outstanding balances at the rate of prime (7.25% as of December 31, 2005) plus 1.75%.
Laurus has the option to convert all or a portion of the advances under any secured convertible
revolving note into shares of the Companys common stock at any time, subject to certain
limitations, at a fixed conversion price (originally $1.64 per share, but
F-20
Electric City Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
amended (see below) to $1.05 per share). As amounts are drawn on this line-of-credit, to the
extent the current market price exceeds the fixed conversion price, additional interest expense
will be recognized as a result of this beneficial conversion feature. The revolving credit
facility is secured by a blanket lien on all of the Companys assets, except for its real estate.
On February 28, 2005, the Company and Laurus entered into an amendment to the revolving credit
facility which among other things permitted the Company to borrow an amount in excess of the amount
supported by the borrowing base (an Overadvance), up to the $2 million limit of the facility, and
reduced the fixed conversion price on the revolving credit line to $1.05 per share. The Company
borrowed the full $2 million on February 28, 2005. The Company was permitted to remain in the
Overadvance position until January 1, 2006 (the Overadvance Period). The amended revolving loan
agreement provided that the Overadvance Period would be extended on a month to month basis if the
average closing price of the Companys stock for the five last trading days of the prior month was
greater than or equal to $1.16 (110% of the new fixed conversion price of $1.05). The Overadvance
Period was not extended on January 1, 2006, and on January 12, 2006, the Company reduced the
outstanding balance on the revolver to $1,128,248 through the payment of $871,752 in cash. The
Company may reborrow the amount repaid if it has sufficient borrowing base to support the
borrowings. As of February 28, 2006, our borrowing base would support borrowings of approximately
$1,276,000. If at any time after the date the shares underlying the revolving credit facility are
registered and the average closing price of the Companys Common Stock for an eleven day period
exceeds $1.21 per share (115% of the fixed conversion price), Laurus will be required to convert to
common stock the lesser of the outstanding balance of revolving credit line or 25% of the average
aggregate dollar weighted trading volume of the Companys Common Stock for the eleven days prior to
the conversion (a Mandatory Conversion). Only one Mandatory Conversion can be effected in any 22
day period. All stock conversion prices and exercise prices are subject to adjustment for stock
splits, stock dividends or similar events.
Note 11 Convertible Term Loans
On September 11, 2003, the Company entered into a $1,000,000 convertible Term Loan with
Laurus. The Term Loan had an initial term of two years and was scheduled to amortize at the rate
of $50,000 per month beginning February 1, 2004, if not offset by the conversion of all or a
portion of the loan prior to the due date of the amortization payment. On August 31, 2004, the
maturity date for the Term Loan was extended to September 1, 2006, the amortization schedule was
modified to defer the first principal payment to February 1, 2005 and reduce the monthly payments
to $35,000 per month, with a final payment of $11,790 due on September 1, 2006 (if not offset by
the conversion of all or a portion of the loan prior to the due date of the amortization payment)
and the conversion price was reduced from $2.12 to $1.64 per share. The Term Loan, which had an
outstanding balance of $291,790 as of December 31, 2005, accrues interest at the greater of prime
(7.25% as of December 31, 2005) plus 1.75%, or 6%, and is payable monthly in arrears. The Company
has the option of paying scheduled interest and principal, or prepaying all or a portion of the
Term Loan with shares of its common stock at the fixed conversion price of $1.64 per share,
provided that the closing price of the common stock is greater than $1.89 per share for the 11
trading days immediately preceding the payment date and that the shares are registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Laurus also has the option to convert all or a portion of the
Term Loan into shares of the Companys common stock at any time, subject to certain limitations, at
a fixed conversion price of $1.64 per share. The Term Loan is secured by a blanket lien on all of
the Companys assets, except for its real estate.

Electric City Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In conjunction with the Term Loan, Laurus received a five year warrant to purchase up to
140,000 shares of the Companys common stock at prices ranging from $2.44 per share to $3.07 per
share. The warrants were valued at $163,400 using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The value of these warrants was recorded as a discount to the Term Loan and are being amortized
over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.
Laurus was paid a fee of $150,000 and received an additional five year warrant to purchase up
to 280,000 shares of the Companys common stock at prices ranging from $2.54 per share to $3.18 per
share in connection with the term loan and revolving credit facility. This warrant was valued at
$320,000 using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model. In addition, the Company issued a
one-year warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share to Wall & Broad
Equities as part of its commission for this transaction. These warrants were valued at $58,000
using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of the warrants along with $158,228
in other fees and expenses related to the transaction have been recorded as capitalized costs of
financing and are being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Term
Loan.
In recording the transaction, the Company allocated the value of the proceeds to the Term Loan
and warrants based on their relative fair values. In doing so, it determined that the Term Loan
contained a beneficial conversion feature since the fair market value of the common stock issuable
upon conversion of the Term Loan exceeded the value of $836,600 allocated to the Term Loan on the
date of issuance. The Term Loan was initially convertible into 471,698 shares of common stock,
which at the then current market price of $2.05 per share was worth $966,981. The difference
between the market value of the shares issuable upon conversion and the value allocated to the Term
Loan of $180,381 is considered to be the value of the beneficial conversion feature. The value of
the beneficial conversion feature has also been recorded as a discount to the term note and is
being amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.
On November 26, 2003, Laurus converted $52,346 of principal and $654 of accrued interest into
25,000 shares of the Companys common stock, and during January 2004 Laurus converted $270,864 of
principal and $4,736 of accrued interest into 130,000 of the Companys common stock.
On November 22, 2005, Electric City and Laurus entered into a securities purchase agreement
providing for a new four year, $5 million convertible term loan to fund the expansion of the
Companys VNPP projects and Shared Savings program, as well as for general corporate purposes (the
New Term Loan). The Company received unrestricted access to the proceeds from the New Term Loan
on November 25, 2005. The New Term Loan bears interest at the higher of prime (7.25% as of
December 31, 2005) plus 2% or 6.75% and requires monthly amortization of $43,860 if paid in
additional shares of Common Stock or $44,736 if paid in cash, commencing on June 1, 2006. Any
principal balance that has not been repaid or converted to Common Stock will be due at maturity on
November 1, 2009. The New Term Loan is convertible into Common Stock at the holders option at
anytime at $1.16 per share (the Fixed Conversion Price) and the Company can require conversion if
the market price of its stock averages at least $2.32 (200% of the Fixed Conversion Price) for the
last ten days of any month. In addition, if the shares issuable upon conversion are registered and
the market price of the Common Stock is $1.00 or greater, the Company can elect to pay monthly
interest and principal with shares of stock valued at 85% of the weighted average closing price of
the Common Stock for the prior 20 trading days. If the market price of the Common Stock exceeds
$1.33 per share (115% of the Fixed Conversion Price) then Laurus shall be required to convert the
monthly principal and interest to Common Stock at $1.16,
F-22
Electric City Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
subject to certain conditions. The New Term Loan has a financial covenant that requires, if the
market price of the Companys Common Stock is less than $1.22 (105% of the Fixed Conversion Price),
that the Company maintains an EBITDA to Debt Expense ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 as of the
last day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2006. The
Convertible Term Loan and the other obligations to Laurus are secured by all the Companys and its
Subsidiarys assets, except for real estate. All stock conversion prices and exercise prices are
subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events.
In connection with the Term Loan, Laurus was paid fees totaling $225,000 and received a seven
year warrant to purchase 2 million shares of the Companys Common Stock at $1.16 per share. The
fees, along with an additional $68,835 in transaction expenses were capitalized and will be
amortized over the life of the Term Loan utilizing the effective interest method. The warrants
were valued at $920,000 using a modified Black-Sholes option pricing model. The value of the
warrants was recorded as a discount to the Term Loan and will also be amortized over the life the
Term Loan utilizing the effective interest method.
As part of the New Term Loan the Company agreed to split any cash flow generated by the
Companys VNPP and Shared Savings projects (the Projects), after the payment of related debt, to
the extent any portion of the New Term Loan is used to fund such Projects. The Project Cash Flow
has been defined as the revenue generated by the Projects, less the operating costs, maintenance
costs and debt service costs (principal, interest and fees) directly related to such Projects. As
long as any portion of the New Term Loan is outstanding, the Company has agreed to pay to Laurus on
a quarterly basis Performance Interest in an amount equal to two-thirds (2/3rds) of the Project
Cash Flow generated by all Projects, not to exceed the Target Return for the quarter. The Target
Return is defined to be 5% of the average daily outstanding project related debt during the
quarter, less interest (excluding Performance Interest and Bonus Interest) and fees for such
quarter. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay Laurus on a quarterly basis, as long as any
portion of the New Term Loan is outstanding, Bonus Interest equal to one-third (1/3rd) of any
Project Cash Flow in excess of the Performance Interest. After the New Term Loan has been repaid
in full, the Company is required to continue to pay Laurus a portion of the Project Cash Flow as

Pursuant to the Consolidated Agreement dated January 8, 2001, among the Company, Giorgio
Reverberi (Reverberi), the owner of the patent relating to certain technologies used in the
EnergySaver, and Joseph Marino, former Chairman and CEO of Electric City (who assigned the
rights to the Company), the Company agreed to pay Reverberi a royalty of $200 for each
EnergySaver unit made by or for the Company and sold by the Company. Mr. Marino is also paid
a royalty of $100 for each unit sold by the Company. The term of the license granted to the
Company expires when the last of Reverberis patents expires, which the Company expect to be
in November, 2017. The license may be terminated by Reverberi if the Company materially
breaches its terms and fails to cure the breach within 180 days after Reverberi gives the
Company written notice of the breach. Approximately $60,000, $34,000, and $65,000 of expense
was incurred under the agreement |

Note 17 Equity Transactions
2003 Transactions
a) |
|
In a series of transactions during February and April 2003, the Company sold 1,815,125 shares
of its common stock for $0.92 per share and issued five year warrants to purchase 500,974
shares of common stock at $0.92 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $1,669,916. The
Company incurred offering costs of $154,790 related to these transactions. |
|
b) |
|
On June 27, 2003, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a group of
investors that included Cinergy Ventures II, LLC, Mr. Richard Kiphart, SF Capital Partners,
Ltd., John Thomas Hurvis Revocable Trust and Mr. David Asplund whereby the Company issued, in
exchange for $1,500,000 in gross proceeds, a package of securities that included 150,000
shares of its Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series D Preferred), 22,562 shares
of its Common Stock, one year warrants to purchase 37,500 additional shares of its Series D
Preferred and four year warrants to purchase 210,938 additional shares of its Common Stock. |
|
|
|
Proceeds from the transaction were allocated to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, the
common stock and the warrants issued as part of the Transaction based on their relative fair
values. The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock contained a beneficial conversion feature as
a result of its initial conversion price, which was lower than the market value of the
Companys common stock on the date of issue. The value of this beneficial conversion feature
was determined based on the value allocated to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, along
with the discount to the market value of the common stock on the date of issuance. The value of
the beneficial conversion feature was deemed to be equivalent to a non-cash preferred stock
dividend. The Company recorded the deemed dividend on the date of issuance by offsetting
charges and credits to additional paid-in capital in the |

|
|
amount of $386,984, without any effect on total stockholders equity. The deemed dividend
increased the loss applicable to common shareholders in the calculation of the basic and
diluted net loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2003. |
|
|
|
Delano Group Securities, LLC acted as placement agent for the Company with respect to the
transaction and was paid a placement agent fee of $120,000. Delano Group Securities, LLC is
controlled by Mr. David Asplund, one of the investors in the transaction and one of the
Companys directors, and effective January 23, 2006 the Companys Chief Executive Officer. |
|
c) |
|
During September 2003, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with Laurus Master
Fund, Ltd. (Laurus) to provide the Company with a $1 million convertible secured term loan
and a $2 million convertible revolving line of credit. As part of this transaction the
Company issued warrants to Laurus to purchase 420,000 shares of its common stock. The
warrants have exercise prices ranging from $2.44 per share to $3.18 per share and have terms
of five years. The warrants were valued at $483,400 using a modified Black-Sholes option
pricing model utilizing the following assumptions: risk free rate of 0.951%, expected
volatility of 78.0%, expected dividend of $0 and expected life of 5 years. Of the total
value, $163,400 was recorded as a discount to the term loan and $320,000 was recorded as
deferred financing costs, both of which are being amortized over the term of the underlying
debt. |
|
d) |
|
On July 23, 2003, the Board of Directors approved the retirement of 1,000 shares of common
stock held as treasury stock, which are now deemed authorized but unissued shares. |
|
e) |
|
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company satisfied the accrued dividend on its
preferred stock of $2,551,379 though the issuance of 225,398 shares of its Series A Preferred
stock, 21,971 shares of its Series C Preferred stock and 7,769 shares of its Series D
Preferred stock. Since these shares of preferred stock were convertible into common stock at
a price below the market price on the dates of issuance, the Company was required to recognize
deemed dividends of $1,627,985 on the shares issued in satisfaction of the Series A Preferred
dividend, $158,691 on the shares issued in satisfaction of the Series C Preferred dividend and
$92,878 on the shares issued in satisfaction of the Series D Preferred dividend. These deemed
dividends were calculated as the difference between (1) the market value of the common shares
into which the preferred shares were convertible on the dates of issuance and (2) the accrued
dividend obligation on the outstanding preferred stock. |
|
f) |
|
During fiscal 2003, the Company issued warrants to purchase 647,000 shares of its Common
Stock to consultants as compensation for services received. As the fair market value of these
services was not readily determinable, these services were valued based on the fair market
value of the warrants at the time of issuance, which ranged from $0.29 to $1.42 per warrant.
The warrants were valued at $393,550 using a modified Black-Sholes option pricing model
utilizing the following assumptions: risk-free rates of 0.901% to 1.712%, expected volatility
of 73% to 90%, expected dividend of $0 and expected lives of 0.4 to 3 years. The Company
recognized total expense of $393,550 relating to the issuance of these warrants during 2003. |
|
g) |
|
During fiscal 2003, the Company received proceeds of $197,000 in connection with the exercise
of 197,000 warrants, resulting in the issuance of 197,000 shares of the Companys Common
Stock. |

|
On March 19, 2004, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a group of
four mutual funds managed by Security Benefit Group, Inc. whereby it issued to such
purchasers, in exchange for $11,000,000 in gross proceeds, a package of securities that
included 5,000,000 shares of its common stock and 5 year warrants to purchase 1,750,000
additional shares of common stock at $2.42 per share. |
|
|
|
On March 22, 2004, the Company entered into a Redemption and Exchange Agreement with the holders
of its outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the Old Preferred Stock) under which
it redeemed 538,462 shares of the outstanding Old Preferred Stock which were convertible into
5,384,620 shares of common stock, at a redemption price equivalent to $1.30 per common share,
and exchanged 210,451 shares of its newly authorized Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the
Series E Preferred) for the remaining 2,104,509 outstanding shares of the Old Preferred Stock
(the Exchange) on a 1 for 10 basis (one share of Series E Preferred exchanged for 10 shares of
Old Preferred Stock). All of the Old Preferred Stock has been cancelled. As part of the
Exchange, all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
were exchanged for similar warrants to purchase shares of Series E Preferred and the expiration
date was changed from June 30, 2004 to October 31, 2004 (and subsequently extended to December
31, 2004). Such Series E warrants issued were exercisable for an aggregate of 3,750 shares of
Series E Preferred at a price of $100 per share. They replaced warrants exercisable for 37,500
shares of Series D Preferred at an exercise price of $10 per share. |
|
|
|
Except as respects dividends, the Series E Preferred has substantially the same rights as the
shares of Old Preferred Stock that it replaced, including: |
|
|
|
special approval rights with respect to certain actions by the Company, including
any issuance of shares of capital stock by the Company that would have the right to
receive dividends or the right to participate in any distribution upon liquidation
which was senior to or equal to the rights of the Series E Preferred (other than
issuances to pay dividends on the preferred and under certain other limited exceptions
such as conversion of outstanding convertible securities) and any acquisition, sale,
merger, joint venture, consolidation or reorganization involving the Company or any of
its subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
a conversion price of $1.00 per share; |
|
|
|
|
the right to elect up to four directors; |
F-29

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
|
|
|
the right to vote with the holders of common stock on an as converted basis on all
matters on which holders of our common stock are entitled to vote, except with respect
to the election of directors or as otherwise provided by law; |
|
|
|
|
a right of first offer on the sale of equity by the Company in a private
transaction; and |
|
|
|
|
anti-dilution protection that would adjust the conversion price in the event the
Company issues equity at a price which is less than the conversion price . |
The Series E Preferred accrues dividends at a rate of 6% (versus 10% for the Old Preferred) per
annum, which at the Companys option may be paid by issuing more shares of Series E Preferred.
For accounting purposes the Redemption and Exchange transaction was viewed as a redemption for
cash and shares of Series E preferred stock. As a result of the transaction the Company
incurred a non-cash deemed dividend of $1,860,458 which increased the loss available to
shareholders and the reported loss per common share. This non-cash deemed dividend was
determined by comparing the fair value of the consideration given (the cash and the market value
of the Series E Preferred) to the carrying value of the Old Preferred Stock. The fair value of
the consideration given exceeded the carrying value of the Old Preferred primarily due to the
fact that the market price of the Companys common stock was higher on the day the Redemption
and Exchange transaction closed than it was when the Old Preferred Stock was originally issued.
The deemed dividend was recorded as offsetting charges and credits to additional paid-in
capital, without any effect on total stockholders equity.
Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. acted as placement agent for the Company with respect to the
transaction and was paid a placement agent fee of $660,000. The Stockpage.com was also paid a
finders fee of $55,000 related to the transaction. Other issuance costs related to the
transaction totaled $195,393.

|
During fiscal 2004, the Company issued warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of its common
stock at prices between $1.00 and $1.55 per share to consultants for services received. The
warrants were valued at $42,600 using a modified Black-Sholes option pricing model utilizing
the following assumptions: risk free rate of 1.607% to 2.772%, expected volatility of 42.5 to
53.6%, expected dividend of $0 and expected life of 2 to 3 years. The value of the warrants
was charged to operations during the period. |

During fiscal 2004, Laurus Master Fund Ltd. converted $270,864 of principal and $4,736 of
accrued interest on the Companys Convertible Term Note into 130,000 shares of our common
stock. |
|
o) |
|
During fiscal 2004, the Company satisfied the accrued dividend on its preferred stock of
$1,636,780 though the issuance of 16,368 shares of its Series E Preferred stock. Since these
shares of preferred stock are convertible into common stock at a price below the market price
on the dates of issuance, the Company was required to recognize deemed dividends of $1,127,021
during the period. These deemed dividends were calculated as the difference between (1) the
market value of the common shares into which the preferred shares were convertible on the
dates of issuance and (2) the accrued dividend obligation on the outstanding preferred stock. |

On April 28, 2005 the Company issued to five (5) institutional investors, for an aggregate
gross purchase price of $5,625,000, 6,250,000 shares of the Companys common stock and 42
month warrants to purchase 3,125,000 additional shares of common stock at $1.05 per share
(collectively the PIPE Transaction or the PIPE). Warrants to purchase 2,100,000 shares of
common stock were immediately exercisable and the remaining warrants became exercisable six
months after closing on October 28, 2005. Net proceeds from the transaction were
approximately $5,413,000, of which approximately $1,644,000 was used to fund the acquisition
of Maximum Performance Group, Inc., as discussed in Note 4. |
|
|
|
Due to the sale price of the securities issued as part of this PIPE Transaction, the Company was
required to adjust the exercise price on warrants to purchase 5,054,830 shares of its common
stock held by two investors who had participated in previous equity offerings. The exercise
prices on these warrants were reduced from $2.42 and $1.00, respectively, to $0.90. The Company
compared the value of the warrants with the old exercise price to the value of the warrants with
the reduced exercise price, as determined through the use of a modified Black-Sholes option
pricing model, and determined that the reduction in the exercise price had increased the value
of the warrants by $484,445. Since these warrants were issued as part of a security offering
the increase in value is considered to be a deemed dividend to the security holders. The
Company recorded the deemed dividend by offsetting charges and credits to additional paid-in
capital, without any effect on total stockholders equity. The deemed dividend increased the loss
applicable to common shareholders in the calculation of the basic and diluted net loss per
common share for the year ended December 31, 2005. |
|
|
|
Delano Group Securities LLC and Mr. David Valentine acted as advisors on the PIPE Transaction.
The Company paid Delano Group Securities LLC $16,250 and 50,000 shares of common stock and Mr.
Valentine 50,000 shares of common stock for their services. Mr. Asplund and Mr. Valentine both
serve as directors of Electric City and effective January 23, 2006, Mr. Asplund became the

shares of common stock are being held in escrow and will be issued in the event MPG meets
specific performance criteria during the two year period following the acquisition. |

Delano Group Securities LLC acted as an advisor on the acquisition of MPG and was paid $82,176
and 125,485 shares of common stock for its services. These shares were valued at $1.00 per
share, which was the closing market price of the Companys common stock on April 28th. In
addition, the Company will issue up to 125,485 additional shares of common stock to Delano as

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 19 Stock Options
On August 30, 2001, the Companys shareholders approved the adoption of the 2001 Stock
Incentive Plan (the Plan), which provides that up to 800,000 shares of the Companys common stock
may be delivered under the Plan to certain employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and
to consultants and directors who are not employees. In addition, the Plan provides for an
additional number of shares of the Companys common stock to be reserved for issuance under the
plan on January 1st of each succeeding year, beginning January 1, 2002, in an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) 5% of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (ii) 500,000 shares. The
awards to be granted under the Plan may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options.
The exercise price for any incentive stock option (ISO) may not be less than 100% of the fair
market value of the stock on the date the option is granted, except that with respect to a
participant who owns more than 10% of the common stock the exercise price must be not less than
110% of fair market value. The exercise price of any non-qualified option shall be in the sole
discretion of the Compensation Committee or the Board. To qualify as an ISO the aggregate fair
market value of the shares (determined on the grant date) granted to any participant may not exceed
$100,000 in the first year that they can be exercised. There is no comparable limitation with
respect to non-qualified stock options. The term of all options granted under the Plan will be
determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board in their sole discretion, provided, however,
that the term of each ISO shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant thereof.
In addition to the ISOs and non-qualified options, the Plan permits the Compensation
Committee, consistent with the purposes of the Plan, to grant stock appreciation rights and/or
shares of Common Stock to non-employee directors and such employees (including officers and
directors who are employees) of, or consultants to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the
Committee may determine, in its sole discretion Under applicable tax laws, however, ISOs may only
be granted to employees.
The Plan is administered by the Board, which is authorized to interpret the Plan, to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan and to determine the
individuals to whom, and the time, terms and conditions under which, options and awards are to be
granted. The Board may also amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in any respect at any time.
However, no amendment may (i) adversely affect the rights of a participant under an award
theretofore granted without the consent of such participant, (ii) increase the number of shares
reserved for option under the Plan, (iii) modify the requirements for participation in the Plan, or
(iv) modify the Plan in any way that would require stockholder approval under the rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act or the rules of any stock exchange or market on which the Common
Stock is listed (unless such stockholder approval is obtained).
As of December 31, 2005, there were approximately 45 employees of the Company eligible to
participate in the Plan, and 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock reserved under the Plan.
Effective April 1, 2000, the Company adopted a stock option plan for all independent
directors, which is separate and distinct from the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan described above. The
directors stock option plan provides that eligible directors receive an initial option grant to
purchase 75,000 shares upon being appointed to our Board of Directors and additional grants to
purchase 25,000 shares on each anniversary of their appointment to the Board. These options have
exercise prices equal to the greater of the closing price of our common stock on the grant date, or
$1.00, terms of ten years and vest in three equal amounts, beginning on the grant date and on each
of the next two anniversaries of the initial grant

Note 20 Related Parties
On January 5, 2000, the Company entered into a distributor agreement with Electric City of
Southern California L.L.C., of which Joseph Marino is a member, which provides for an initial term
of 10 years. Mr. Marino is one of the Companys founders and its former Chairman and CEO. The
agreement grants to Electric City of Southern California a distribution territory which extends
from Monterey to Fresno to the northern edge of Death Valley, south to the southern border of
California. This agreement provides for terms which members of the Companys board believe are
substantially similar to those of other distributor agreements and as favorable to the Company as
if negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
Certain other related party transactions are disclosed in Notes 14 and 16.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 21 Business Segment Information
The Company organizes and manages its business in two distinct segments: the Energy Technology
segment, and the Building Control and Automation segment. In classifying its operational entities
into a particular segment, the Company segregated its businesses with similar economic
characteristics, products and services, production processes, customers, and methods of
distribution into distinct operating groups.
The Energy Technology segment designs, manufactures and markets energy saving technologies,
primarily to commercial and industrial customers. The principal products produced and marketed by
this segment are the EnergySaver, the Global Commander, the eMAC line of HVAC and lighting
controllers, and negative power systems under the trade name Virtual Negawatt Power Plan or
VNPP. Operations of Electric City Corp. and Maximum Performance Group, Inc. are included in the
Energy Technology segment. Electric City is headquartered, and most of its operations are located,
in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Maximum Performance Group is headquartered in New York, New York,
and has an office in San Diego, California where most of its technical and engineering operations
are located.
The Building Control and Automation segment, which is comprised of the Great Lakes Controlled
Energy subsidiary, provides integration of building and environmental control systems for
commercial and industrial customers. Great Lakes Controlled Energy is headquartered in, and
operates out of its own leased facility, located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.
Prior to May 31 2003, the Companys reportable segments included the Power Management segment,
which designed, manufactured and marketed a wide range of commercial and industrial switching gear
and distribution panels. Effective May 31, 2003, the Company divested this segment; accordingly,
the operating results have been separately reported as discontinued operations.
In February 2006, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell its Great Lakes Controlled
Energy, which makes up the Building Control and Automation business, to the former owners of the
company. The transaction is expected to close on or before March 31, 2006.

23 Subsequent Events
In January 2006, the Company made the decision to sell its subsidiary Great Lakes Controlled
Energy Corporation (Great Lakes) back to the former owners of the Company. In February 2006 the
parties signed a Letter of Intent which provided that the former owners would acquire all of the
stock of Great Lakes in exchange for 212,904 shares of Electric City common stock. The Letter of
Intent also provided that there would be a cash payment to either the buyer or the seller based on
the adjusted net book value of Great Lakes on the date of closing. The transaction is expected to
close on or before March 31, 2006.
