JUHL WIND, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008
 
1. 
BACKGROUND, CHANGE OF CONTROL AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnotes disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations.  These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 contained in Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2009.

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation.  The adjustments made to these statements consist only of normal recurring adjustments.  The results reported in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Juhl Wind, Inc. (“Juhl Wind”) conducts business under three subsidiaries, DanMar and Associates, Inc. (“DanMar”), Juhl Energy Development, Inc. (“JEDI”), and Next Generation Power Systems, Inc. (“NextGen”). The Company provides development, management, and consulting services to wind farm projects throughout the Midwestern U.S. and produces consumer-owned renewable energy products. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Reverse Acquisition
On June 24, 2008, the owners of DanMar and Associates, Inc. and Juhl Energy Development, Inc., both privately held companies under common control, exchanged all of their outstanding shares of common stock in the companies for 15,250,000 shares of common stock of MH&SC, Inc., a public company.  Upon the exchange transaction (transaction), MH&SC, Inc. changed its name to Juhl Wind, Inc. As a result of the transaction, DanMar and Associates, Inc. and Juhl Energy Development, Inc. (the Companies) are now wholly-owned subsidiaries of Juhl Wind, Inc. In essence, DanMar and Associates, Inc. and Juhl Energy Development, Inc. merged into a public shell company with no or nominal remaining operations and no or nominal assets and liabilities. JEDI is considered the accounting acquirer in the exchange transaction. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are those of the Companies and are recorded at its historical cost basis.

Acquisition of Next Generation Power Systems
On October 31, 2008, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Next Generation Power Systems, Inc. (“NextGen”), a company under common control. The acquisition was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control (i.e. “as if pooling”) where the assets and liabilities of those under common control are at historical cost and at fair value for the noncontrolling interest. The assets and liabilities and the historical operations of NextGen are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2009 and 2008.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH
The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions located in Minnesota. At times throughout the year cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.  In August 2008, the Company obtained an excess deposit insurance bond to insure deposits up to an additional $2,400,000 beyond the FDIC coverage. The bond is effective August 2008 through February 2011.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Credit terms are extended to customers in the normal course of business.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral.

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at their estimated net realizable value, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company follows a policy of providing an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Based on historical experience, and its evaluation of the current status of receivables, the Company is of the belief that such accounts will be collectible in all material respects after consideration of the allowance shown in the financial statements. Accounts are considered past due if payment is not made on a timely basis in accordance with the Company’s credit terms.  Accounts considered uncollectible are written off.

 
9

 
 
UNBILLED RECEIVABLES
Unbilled receivables are generated when the revenue from a project has been earned by the Company but has not been formally billed by the Company due to project relations with the owners of the project. The unbilled receivables are recorded at their estimated realizable value. The Company follows a policy providing an allowance for doubtful accounts reserving for significant timing risk and other risks associated with energy project development.

INVENTORIES
Inventories, consisting primarily of parts and materials relating to the production of small scale wind turbines, are stated at the lower of average cost or market value.

REIMBURSABLE PROJECT COSTS
Reimbursable project costs represent advances made on behalf of wind farm entities to assist them in the legal or other costs incurred in the initial development stages of their respective wind farm project.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Project development costs represent amounts paid by the Company for projects that Juhl Wind is the wind farm developer and project owner. Such costs are carried as a long-term asset until such time that the Company receives a reimbursement as a part of the permanent financing of a commissioned wind farm project, or alternatively, upon reimbursement by new project ownership.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed currently. Property and equipment are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals.

GOODWILL
The Company’s goodwill resulted from its business acquisition of the minority interest of NextGen in October 2008. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but instead tested at least annually for impairment. The Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets in assessing the fair value of its goodwill and other intangible assets. We have assessed the impairment of goodwill and no impairment of goodwill was considered necessary.

STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company recognizes compensation expense for employee stock options based on the estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company accounts for unit based instruments granted to nonemployees under the fair value method. Unit based instruments usually are recorded at their underlying fair value.  In certain instances the fair value of the goods or services is used to determine the value of the equity instrument as it is a better measure of fair value.

 
10

 
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of cash and equivalents, restricted cash, short term investments, receivables, payables, warrant liability approximates their fair value. The carrying amounts of notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. The Company uses estimates and assumptions in accounting for the following significant matters, among others: revenue recorded from the development agreements is a significant estimate based on a percentage of estimated project costs; reliability of accounts receivable; valuation of deferred tax assets, inventory, stock based compensation and warrants, goodwill, intangible asset, income tax uncertainties, fair value of warrant liability, and other contingencies. Revenue from the development agreements is adjusted to reflect actual costs incurred by the project upon the commercial operation date. Accordingly, actual revenue may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The Company periodically reviews estimates and assumptions, and the effects of any such revisions are reflected in the period in which the revision is made.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Consumer-owned energy products:
Revenue from the sale of small wind turbines and other renewable energy systems is recognized upon shipment to the customer and transfer of ownership. Installation services are recognized as revenue upon completion of the installation services.  Deposits received from customers are included as Deferred Revenue until shipment occurs.

Wind Farm Consulting, Development and Management Services:
Consulting Services
Consulting services fees are primarily fixed fee arrangements of a short-term duration and are recognized as revenue on a completed contract basis.

Wind Farm Development Services
The Company normally earns a development service fee from each of the wind farm projects that it develops in cooperation with wind farm investors.
The development services fee revenue is recognized as follows:
 
·
Proceeds received upon the signing of a Development Services Agreement (generally 10% of the total expected development fee) are amortized over the expected period of the development process, which is generally three years. The amortization period is re-assessed by management as new timelines are established for the project in-service date, and the amortization period is adjusted.
 
·
The remaining proceeds are allocated to the following deliverables based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of each item: 1) achievement of a signed Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with an electrical utility, and 2) final commissioning of the wind farm turbines.  Management has determined that these deliverables have stand-alone value, and performance of the undelivered services are considered probable and in the control of the Company.

Wind Farm Management and Maintenance Services
Revenues earned from administrative, management and maintenance services agreements are recognized as the services are provided. The administrative and management services agreements call for quarterly payments in advance or arrears of services rendered based on the terms of the agreement. The administrative and management services payments in advance are carried as deferred revenue and recognized monthly as services are performed. Maintenance services are generally billed on a time and materials basis.

Licensing Revenue
Revenues earned from licensing agreements are amortized straight line over the term of the agreement.

 
11

 
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares and share equivalents outstanding during the period. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had 1,810,000 unit equivalents outstanding relating to outstanding stock options and warrants. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had 8,310,000 share equivalents outstanding relating to outstanding stock options and warrants.  At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the effects of the share equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as their effects would be anti-dilutive, due to the Company’s net loss attributable for common stockholders for these periods.

INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided for timing differences between financial statements and income tax reporting, primarily from the use of accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes, stock based compensation, accrued liabilities, warranty costs, and net operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.  The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of the enacted tax law; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications were made to the previously issued 2008 financial statements in the statement of operations and the statement of stockholders’ equity in order for comparability to the 2009. The 2008 financial statements have been adjusted to show activity from the pooling of interests transaction with Next Gen as discussed in Note 1.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 13, 2009, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued.

3.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SERIES A 8% CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND COMMON STOCK WARRANTS

In June 2008, the Company completed a private placement consisting of shares of newly-created Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A), and detachable, five-year Class A, Class B and Class C warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 (Class A), $1.50 (Class B) and $1.75 (Class C) per share.  In total, the Company sold 5,160,000 shares of Series A (convertible at any time into a like number of shares of common stock) and Class A, Class B and Class C Warrants to each purchase 2,580,000 shares of common stock, or an aggregate of 7,740,000 shares of common stock.  Such warrants were subsequently exercised or exchanged in June 2009 (see Note 4).  We also issued 2,250,000 shares of our common stock to Greenview Capital, LLC and unrelated designees at the closing of the transaction in consideration for merger advisory services.

Conversion Rights of Series A

At any time, each share of Series A is convertible into one share of common stock.  However, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain customary events, including, among others, a stock split, reverse stock split or combination of our common stock; an issuance of our common stock or other securities as a dividend or distribution on the common stock; a reclassification, exchange or substitution of the common stock; or a capital reorganization of our company. Additionally, until June 24, 2010, the holders of Series A will have “full-ratchet” anti-dilution price protection, with limited exceptions for issuances under employee benefit plans and pursuant to transactions involving a strategic partner preapproved by the holders on a case-by-case basis. After June 24, 2010, the holders of Series A will have “weighted average” anti-dilution price protection.

Voting Rights of Series A

Holders of Series A are not entitled to vote their shares with the holders of our common stock, except for certain extraordinary corporate transactions, in which case they vote as a separate class. Holders of Series A shall also have any voting rights to which they are entitled by Delaware law.

Liquidation Rights of Series A

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, including a merger or consolidation of our company with or into another company, or any transfer, sale or lease by us of substantially all of our assets, the holders of Series A will be entitled to receive out of our assets available for distribution to stockholders, before any distribution is made to holders of our common stock or any other series of our preferred stock, liquidating distributions in an amount equal to $1.20 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends.

 
12

 
 
Redemption Rights of Series A

Series A may not be redeemed by the Company at any time.

Dividends Rights of Series A

Series A will be entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 8% per year, payable quarterly in arrears in cash or shares of our common stock.

Certain Covenant Rights and Registration Rights of Series A

Series A contains certain negative covenants, such as a limitation on indebtedness, a limitation on increases in executive compensation, an incentive compensation plan not to exceed 10% of our outstanding common equivalent shares, and restrictions on mergers, acquisitions and other fundamental transactions, without the prior written consent of a majority of the holders of Series A, and certain other affirmative covenants.  All covenants expire if Series A position held by its majority original investor falls below 20% of the original Series A position held by it immediately following the closing of the original offering. The Company is also required to issue registered common shares upon conversion of Series A and exercise of the Class A, Class B and Class C warrants.  If the underlying shares are not registered as required in the Series A offering document, the Corporation would be required to pay liquidated damages of 2% of the original purchase price per each 30 day period or part thereof for any registration default up to a maximum of 12%.

The Company recorded a liability and corresponding expense at December 31, 2008 in the amount of $258,879 to account for approximated liquidated damages and late fees to the holders of the Series A preferred shares.  The liquidated damages and late fees were related to the breach of covenants and rights contained in the Registration Rights Agreement, primarily as a result of the Company’s delay in successfully completing an effective registration statement, and to a lesser extent, the timely payment of quarterly dividends.  The Company and the holders of the Series A shares have agreed in writing in March 2009 to pay the $258,879 in the form of shares of common stock issuable over the period April 1 through October 1, 2009. In April and July 2009, the Company issued approximately 135,000 shares of common stock in payment of approximately $240,500 of this liability. The Company anticipates that approximately 11,000 additional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the payment of the remaining liability. As of September 30, 2009, the remaining liability totals approximately $18,000, which is included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

4. 
ISSUANCE OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
On June 29, 2009, the Company entered into a Warrant Amendment Agreement with the holders of the Company’s Class A, Class B and Class C warrants, whereby the holders and the Company agreed that such warrants would be exercisable solely for the Company’s new Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B).  In conjunction with this agreement, the holders of all classes of warrants exchanged their warrants, cash of approximately $2,339,000 and a subscription receivable totaling approximately $197,000 for 6,607,006 shares of the Company’s Series B. The subscription receivable along with accrued interest is due in full on December 31, 2009 and accrues interest at a rate of 8% per year.

Series B contains the following terms:

Conversion  Rights of Series B

At any time, each share of Series B is convertible into one share of common stock.  However, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series B is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain customary events, including, among others, a stock split, reverse stock split or combination of our common stock; an issuance of our common stock or other securities as a dividend or distribution on the common stock; a reclassification, exchange or substitution of the common stock; or a capital reorganization of our company. The conversion price is reduced 25% if the Company fails to obtain combined revenues equal to at least $10,000,000 for the six months ending December 31, 2009.

 
13

 
 
Voting Rights of Series B

Holders of Series B are not entitled to vote their shares with the holders of our common stock, except for certain extraordinary corporate transactions, in which case they vote as a separate class. Holders of Series B shall also have any voting rights to which they are entitled by Delaware law.

Liquidation Rights of Series B

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, the holders of Series B will be entitled to receive out of our assets available for distribution to stockholders, a pro rata liquidating distribution on a pari passu basis with holders of the Company’s common stock based on the number of shares convertible from the then outstanding Series B shares.  Liquidation does not include a change in control transaction or a merger or consolidation of the Company, any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or series of related transactions, or any tender offer or exchange offer to which the holders of common stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property. Liquidation Rights of our Series A is expressly senior to the rights of Series B.

Redemption Rights of Series B

Series B may not be redeemed by the Company at any time.

Dividends Rights of Series B

Series B has no cumulative preferred dividend provisions.  Series B shall participate in any dividends declared and paid by Juhl on its common stock on an as-converted basis.

Anti-Dilution Rights of Series B

Series B contains provisions whereby at any time at least 25% of the Series B is outstanding, the Company may not issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of common stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a price per share that is lower than the volume weighted average price on the date of the Series B agreement without issuing the same rights, options or warrants to all Holders on an as-converted to common stock basis.

5.
WARRANT LIABILITY

We evaluated whether our warrants or convertible preferred stock contain provisions that protect holders from declines in our stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price and/or shares to be issued under the respective warrant or preferred stock agreements based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option. The Company determined that the all of the outstanding warrants (until June 29, 2009 upon which all such warrants were either exercised or exchanged) contained such provisions thereby concluding they were not indexed to the Company’s own stock and must be treated as a derivative liability.  Prior to January 1, 2009, the warrants were considered equity instruments.  The Company determined that while its convertible preferred stock (Series A and Series B) contains certain anti-dilution features, the conversion feature embedded within its convertible preferred stock does not require bifurcation or liability treatment.

The Company, beginning on January 1, 2009, recognized these warrants as liabilities at their respective fair values on each reporting date. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting for these instruments of $12,576,816 was recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of stockholders’ equity at January 1, 2009. In addition, the carrying value of Series A was reduced by $529,133 due to the initial valuation allocated to preferred stock was determined using the relative fair value of Series A and the related warrants issued in the original transaction.  Series A would have been valued using its residual value as the full fair value of the warrants would have had to been first allocated from the net proceeds of the transaction and then the remainder to the value of convertible preferred stock.

 
14

 
 
As discussed in note 4, the conversion of all classes of warrants to Series B eliminated the derivative accounting related to the warrant liability. Therefore, the warrants that were accounted for as a warrant liability were reclassified to stockholders’ equity at its then-current fair value at the date of the exchange.  Prior to the exchange, the Company re-measured the fair value of these instruments as of June 29, 2009, and recorded an $848,966 gain to the statement of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 as the fair value of the warrant liability decreased to $10,378,145.  This amount is included in stockholders’ equity as a component of the carrying value of Series B.

The Company determined the fair value on June 29, 2009 of the warrant liability using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The assumptions used are noted in the following table:

Expected term
 
4 years
 
Risk-free interest rate
    2.97 %
Expected volatility
    104 %
Dividend yield
    0 %
     
Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of peer companies operating in a similar industry. The warrants have a transferability provision therefore; we used the full contractual term as the expected term of the warrants. The risk free rate is based on the five-year U.S. Treasury security rates.

As a result of the exchange, the Company has no warrants outstanding that require derivative accounting.

6. 
CONCENTRATIONS, RISKS AND UNCERTANTIES
The Company derived approximately 46% and 50% of its revenue from sales to six customers in 2009 and 2008, respectively. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 69% and 56% of the Company's accounts receivable were due from four customers.  At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. 100% and 80% of the Company’s unbilled receivables were attributable to three customers and one customer, respectively.

INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated tax return inclusive of each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DanMar, JEDI, and NextGen. The Company’s provision for income taxes includes only the effects of operating activities subsequent to the dates of acquisition as disclosed in Note 1 above, since each of the entities had elected Subchapter S status for all periods prior to acquisition. Upon acquisition, the Subchapter S elections were automatically terminated.

At the time the S corporation elections were terminated , the Company recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from the anticipated timing differences recorded in the financial statements and income tax returns for various accrued expenses and the methods used in computing depreciation.

The components of the deferred income tax asset and liability as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:

The following represents the reconciliation of the statutory federal tax rate and the effective tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009:

Statutory Tax Rate
  $ (137,000 )     34.0 %
States Taxes, Net of Federal Benefit
    (24,000 )     6.0

    $ -       0.00 %

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company’s management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  The Company’s management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  As of September 30, 2009, a valuation allowance of $915,000 has been recognized for deferred tax assets.

At September 30, 2009, the Company has a federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $2.5 million which will begin to expire in the year 2028.

The Company uses a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits when realization of the benefits is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit meets the more-likely-than-not condition for recognition and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized based on the cumulative probability that exceeds 50%. We have adopted a policy under which, if required to be recognized in the future, we will classify interest related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of interest expense and we will classify any related penalties in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a incentive compensation plan to provide stock options, stock issuances and other equity interests in the Company to employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors, and advisors of the Company and other person who is determined by the Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company to have made (or expected to make) contributions to the Company. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has 1,637,111 shares available for award under the plan.

The Company has granted to key employees and directors of the Company, 1,260,000 options to purchase common shares under the above plan.  In addition, the Company issued an additional 500,000 stock options to a director in June 2009 outside of the plan. The outstanding stock options carry an exercise price ranging from of $1.00-$2.11 per share and expire ten years from the date of grant.  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions, underlying price ranging from $1.00 to $3.05, dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility ranging from 96% to 104%, risk-free interest rate of 4%, and average expected life of 6 years. Based on pricing model it was determined that approximately $217,977 of option related compensation was expensed in the three-month period ending September 30, 2009 and $716,198 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 option related compensation expense totaled approximately $174,083.

A summary of the Company’s outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2009 and changes during the period then ended is listed below:

Outstanding at December 31, 2008
    620,000  
Granted
    1,140,000

Outstanding at September 30, 2009
    1,760,000  
         
Options exercisable at the end of the period
    562,903  

As of September 30, 2009, there was approximately $1,311,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense cost.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3 years.

In June 2008, the Company agreed to issue 50,000 common stock warrants to an investor relations consulting firm. These warrants vested over a six-month service period ending December 19, 2008 at which they were formally issued. These warrants allow the holder to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 for 25,000 and $10.00 for the other 25,000 shares. To determine fair value of the warrants the Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions, dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 96%, risk-free interest rate of 4%, and expected life of 5 years.  The Company recognized no expense during the period ended September 30, 2009. For the period ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized approximately $6,400 in compensation expense related to this warrant.

  $ 2,198,671  

The Company’s Level 3 liability consists of the common stock warrants held by the preferred shareholders subject to redemption discussed in Note 5.  The fair value of the liability for the preferred stock warrants subject to redemption is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using internal observable and unobservable market input assumptions.

11.
LICENSING ARRANGEMENT
In July 2009, NextGen entered into an non-exclusive Manufacturing License and Reseller agreement with an unrelated company. The agreement provides that NextGen will license its small turbine technology and, among other things, grants a right to manufacture units over a (20) year period. The agreement also provides for exclusive distribution rights  in certain areas of the United States.  NextGen will receive payments of $1 million for granting these rights under this agreement.  Revenue will be amortized over the 20 year period.   For the period ended September 30, 2009, licensing revenue of $8,333 is included in other revenue in the financial statements.  Licensing deferred revenue of approximately $408,000 is included on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 in deferred revenue.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Development Agreements
The Company enters into development agreements with third parties for the development of wind projects. The development agreements call for development fees ranging from 1% to 5% of the total project cost. The development fees are due in three installments. Ten percent is due at the development agreement signing. Another 40% is due at the signing of the PPA agreement, and the remaining 50% is due at the commercial operation date of the project. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company was involved with various development agreements at different stages within the contracts. The Company was also involved with several new projects for which development agreements have not been signed.

Management Agreements
The Company has three agreements in place for operational wind projects to perform management services for those projects. The agreements provide monthly management fees equal to 2% of the project’s gross sales. These agreements also provide payments for general and administrative fees, maintenance fees, and any other out-of-pocket expenses for the project. The contracts expire at various dates through 2015. The agreements may be terminated by the wind farm upon the last day of the month that is at least 30 days after the Company has received written notice of the intent to terminate the agreement.

Administrative Services Agreements
The Company has four agreements in place for operational wind projects to perform administrative services for those projects. These agreements provide quarterly payments in advance or in arrears of services performed. Payments range from $4,500 to $5,000 per quarter, and will continue through the Change of Percentage Ownership Date, as defined by the administrative services agreements, and will be renewed annually without any additional action. The agreements may be terminated by the wind farm upon at least 90 days written notice to the Company.

15. 
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to the close of the third quarter, JEDI entered into a Development and Construction Services Agreement (the “Development Agreement”), with a project.  Under the Development Agreement, the Owner contracted with JEDI for the development, design, construction, installation, and financing of the project’s balance of plant. The Project’s balance of plant involves the installation of ten 2.0 MW wind turbine generators, which are the subject to a Turbine Supply Agreement between the project owner and the turbine supplier. JEDI, together with the other primary suppliers of the project, have also agreed to take a promissory note for a portion of the expected $8.5 million construction cost of the project together with security interest that is junior to the turbine supplier. JEDI’s primary subcontractor has also agreed to assist JEDI in its financing by deferring payment of its services through the acceptance of a promissory note until permanent financing is placed on the project.  As a part of this Development Agreement, the primary subcontractor’s note must be paid within 180 days of the substantial completion of the project, and if this does not occur, the subcontractor may exercise legal rights to demand payment from JEDI, including a right of foreclosure on the note delivered to JEDI by the project owners, which could, in turn, allow for conversion of amounts to project equity by JEDI or its primary subcontractor.

Overview of Our Business

Juhl Wind provides development, systems operation and maintenance, construction management, oversight and general consulting services to wind farm projects throughout the Midwestern United States. and also sells consumer-owned renewable energy products such as remanufactured small wind turbines and solar systems.  Our ultimate goal is to build medium to large-scale wind farms jointly owned by local communities, farm owners, environmentally concerned investors, and our Company.  The wind farms are connected to the general utility electric grid to produce clean, environmentally-sound wind power for use by the electric power industry.

We specialize in the development of community wind power systems, and we believe that we are among the leaders in the field. Our growth strategy is anchored by the competitive advantage of our portfolio of completed projects coupled with the projects we currently have under development. Our plan is to continue to provide the full range of development services across each phase of development, which we expect will grow our revenue and profitability from each project under development.

Since 1999, we have developed 14 wind farms, accounting for approximately 117 megawatts of wind power, that currently operate in the Midwest region of the United States. We are presently engaged in various aspects of the development of 28 wind farms totaling an additional 450 megawatts of community wind power systems.

Our projects are based on the formation of partnerships with the farmers upon whose land the wind turbines are installed.  Over the years, this type of wind power has been labeled “community wind power” because the systems are locally owned by the farmers themselves and/or other local stakeholders. Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dan Juhl, was one of the creators of community wind power in the United States. Community wind power is a specialized sector in the wind energy industry that differs from the large, utility-owned wind power systems that are also being built in the United States.  Community wind power is a form of community-based energy development (C-BED). Various states, including Minnesota, have enacted C-BED initiatives, which include mechanisms to support community wind power and are intended to make it easier for community wind power projects to be successful without putting an excessive burden on utilities.

Historically, landowners in rural areas could only benefit from the development of wind farms in their community by leasing their land to large wind developers. These large developers would then sell the wind energy to the local utility company and retain a majority of the project’s profits. We provide what we believe is a better alternative for local communities by specifically concentrating on C-BED wind power projects that are locally owned by farmers, investors, businesses, schools, utilities, or other public or private local entities. As a result, we believe that community wind power projects keep more dollars in local communities, preserve local energy independence, and protect the environment. Our goal, and Mr. Juhl’s focus over the past years, is to share ownership with farmers and to build a network of farmer-owned community wind power systems.

Mr. Juhl, our CEO, is an acknowledged expert in the wind power field and is considered a pioneer in the wind industry having been active in this field since 1978.  He was a leader in the passage of specific legislation supporting wind power development in the states of Minnesota and Nebraska.  John Mitola, our President, is also considered an expert in the energy field having focused his career on energy efficiency, demand side management and independent power development.   He has significant experience in the energy industry and electric industry regulation, oversight and governmental policy.

Our management team has been involved in the wind power industry for more than 30 years. We have experience in the design, manufacture, maintenance and sale of wind turbines, as well as the full-scale development of wind farms. We hold contract rights, are involved with projects in development and under negotiation, and provide development activities in the wind power industry. Our contract rights relate to administrative services agreements which call for management and administrative services to be provided for six existing Minnesota wind farm developments.  Our assets include nine development services agreements, fourteen projects in early development stages, and five agreements to conduct wind power feasibility studies.

The Company’s involvement in the sale of consumer-owned renewable energy products commenced in November 2008 as a result of the acquisition of Next Generation Power Systems, Inc. (“NextGen”).  Prior to the acquisition, Dan Juhl had been a significant shareholder in NextGen since it was organized in 2004.  The NextGen business restores small wind turbines in the 30 KW class for sale to consumers for on-site electricity generation.  NextGen also provides solar-powered systems that allow small businesses and consumers to generate or store electrical power for on-site use or emergency backup.   In July 2009, NextGen entered into a 20 year, non-exclusive Manufacturing License and Reseller Agreement with an Ohio entity for purposes of expanding  production and sale of small wind turbines. The agreement, among other things, specifies a sales territory, sales quota and requirements with regard to establishing a production facility. NextGen received $300,000 in July as a part of this agreement with additional licensing payments of $700,000 due over a twelve month period beginning September 1, 2009.

Our strategy is to leverage our portfolio of existing projects and to take on new developments located in the Midwestern United States and Canada, where the following important  conditions exist for successful developments: acceptable wind resources, suitable transmission access and an appropriate regulatory framework providing acceptable power purchase agreements and long-term utility agreements. Based on our pipeline of projects, we believe that we will experience consistent growth in the number of projects completed and the number of projects for which we are providing operational oversight. We expect that the continued growth in our project pipeline will act as a key competitive advantage as the community wind power industry grows throughout the United States and Canada.
 
 
22

 

In order to maintain our competitive advantage in the community wind power industry, we have entered into a frame order agreement with a wind turbine generator supplier for the supply and purchase of wind turbine generators for certain of our community wind power projects through December 31, 2012.   This agreement gives us the assurance that we will have access to wind turbine generators for our community wind power projects currently in development.  Other features of this agreement with this turbine manufacturer is that the turbine manufacturer is committed to participate in financing certain projects and will provide us the ability to acquire equity in the turbine manufacturer under certain conditions.  The frame order agreement does not contain any minimum purchase commitment for wind turbines, although it does allow the Company to obtain an incentive in the form of stock warrants for the purchase of ownership interests of the turbine supplier if certain purchase levels are reached.

Factors Affecting Our Operating Results

Demand

Demand for wind power in the United States is growing rapidly and we believe the call for growth in community wind power is increasing as well. Community wind systems will make up a segment of this growth, leading to what we estimate will be significant growth in community wind systems.

Growth in wind power is being driven by several environmental, socio-economic and energy policy factors that include:

 
·
ongoing increases in electricity demand due to population growth and growth in energy consuming devices such as computers, televisions and air conditioning systems,

 
·
the increasing cost of the predominant fuels required to drive the existing fleet of conventional electric generation such as coal, natural gas, nuclear and oil,

 
·
the increasing cost and difficulty faced in the construction of conventional electric generation plants,

 
·
existing and growing legislative and regulatory mandates for “cleaner” forms of electric generation, including state renewable portfolio standards and the U.S. federal tax incentives for wind and solar generation,

 
·
ongoing improvements to wind power systems making them more cost effective and improving availability to meet demand, and

 
·
worldwide concern over greenhouse gas emissions and calls to reduce global warming due to the carbon dioxide produced by conventional electric generation.

In light of these factors and the resulting increase in demand for wind power, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to experience significant year-over-year growth and development of specific community wind farms throughout the United States. We can provide full-scale development of wind farms across the range of required steps including performing initial feasibility studies, assisting in power purchase negotiations, arranging equity and debt project financing, providing equipment and  construction services, and managing operations.

  Debt and Equity Financing Markets

Wind farm development projects are dependent on the ability to raise debt and equity financing to fund the turbine and substation components, construction costs and other development expenses. We assist project owners in identifying sources of debt and equity capital as a part of our development efforts. We have expended significant efforts in 2009 on behalf of two construction-ready wind farm projects to identify sources of debt and equity financing in order to proceed to the actual construction phase.   During the third quarter of 2009, we focused primarily on moving forward with the financing, development and construction phase of the 20 MW  wind generation facility in Grant County, Minnesota, consisting of 10 wind turbine generators and related interconnection facilities.  It is our belief that many wind farm project owners across the U.S. are facing similar difficulties in arranging project financing as well, particularly construction financing.  The difficulties in obtaining financing is  especially  evident within banking institutions who have liquidity issues resulting from the recent recessionary conditions and  a banking crisis that has led to U.S. government bailout programs and tight regulatory conditions.  The slowdown in new wind farm construction has led to increase in wind turbine inventory around the country, and we are observing that turbine suppliers are also becoming a source of capital in the construction financing of wind farm projects.  We expect credit conditions to improve and we will assist project owners in examining federal and loan guarantee programs as an additional means of securing project financing.
 
 
23

 

Site Selection

Wind, however, is intermittent and electricity generated from wind power can be highly variable. Good site selection and advantageous positioning of turbines on a selected site are critical to the economic production of electricity by wind energy. In our experience, the primary cost of producing wind-powered electricity is the turbine equipment and construction cost. As an intermittent resource, wind power must be carefully positioned into the electric grid along with other generation resources and we believe Juhl Wind has demonstrated the expertise necessary to work with local electric utilities to effect the proper integration plan.  As such, we intend to continue to identify new sites to produce wind energy through the community wind power model throughout the United States and Canada with a focus on the Midwestern region of the U.S.

Recent Developments in Government Regulation

Recently enacted governmental regulations which affect the wind industry in general and the Company in particular include the following measures:

Production Tax Credits (PTC).  The PTC provides wind energy generators with a credit against federal income taxes, annually adjusted for inflation, for a duration of ten years from the date that the wind turbine is placed into service. In 2007, the PTC was $20 per megawatt hour. Wind energy generators with insufficient taxable income to benefit from the PTC may take advantage of a variety of investment structures to monetize the tax benefits.

The PTC was originally enacted as part of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 for wind farms  placed into service after December 31, 1993 and before July 1, 1999. The PTC subsequently has been extended six times, but has been allowed to lapse three times (for periods of three, six and nine months) prior to retroactive extension. Currently, the PTC is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012.  This expiration date reflects a three-year extension passed under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act enacted in February 2009.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “Recovery Act”).   On February 13, 2009 the 11th Congress passed a stimulus package known as The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “Recovery Act”).  The Recovery Act has the potential to substantially impact the market for renewable energy initiatives. Approximately $40 billion in spending was appropriated for clean energy initiatives and an additional $20 billion is estimated for new and modified tax incentives.  The Recovery Act contains a number of provisions that focus on the growth of the wind industry.  Some of the pertinent provisions of the Recovery Act include the following: (i) three-year extension of the federal wind energy production tax credit (PTC) so that eligible projects placed in service by the end of 2012 will qualify for the credit; (ii) option for a thirty percent (30%) investment tax credit (ITC) instead of the PTC; (iii) option to convert the ITC into a cash grant for wind projects placed in service before 2013; (iv)  eliminates the dollar cap on residential small wind and solar for ITC purposes, and (v) additional loan guarantees, bonds and tax incentives.   These programs enacted under the Recovery Act allow community wind farms, such as our Company, to take advantage of these funding opportunities.

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

On June 24, 2008, we entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement with Juhl Energy Development, Inc. (“Juhl Energy”) and DanMar and Associates, Inc. (“DanMar”) (the “share exchange transaction”), as previously reported.  At that time, we succeeded to the wind farm development and management business of Juhl Energy and DanMar, and Juhl Energy and DanMar became our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

For accounting purposes, Juhl Energy was the acquirer in the share exchange transaction, and consequently the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of the Company.  DanMar was accounted for in a manner similar to pooling of interests due to common control ownership.

On October 31, 2008, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NextGen.  Our acquisition of NextGen was accounted for in a manner similar to pooling of interests due to common control ownership. The assets and liabilities of NextGen were combined at historical cost for the portion (54%) under common control and at fair value for the non-controlling interest.  The revenue and expense activities of NextGen are included in the accompanying statement of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included in this prospectus.

Juhl Energy, DanMar and NextGen’s financial statements are our historical financial statements.
 
Significant Accounting Estimates
 
We review all significant estimates affecting our consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis and record the effect of any necessary adjustment prior to their publication. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that actual results could differ from those estimates and changes to estimates could occur in the near term. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are used when accounting for revenue, stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred income taxes, and contingencies among others.

Our management has discussed the development and selection of these significant accounting estimates with our board of directors and our board of directors has reviewed our disclosures relating to them.

Results of Operations
 
Comparison of Three-Month Periods and Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

Overview
 
Our general activity for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily focused on the bringing two wind farm projects in Minnesota, Woodstock and Grant County, forward to construction beginning in October of 2009.  The 20 megawatt Grant County wind farm project  commenced preliminary construction activities in October 2009, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2010.  The .75 megawatt Woodstock wind farm project is expected to commence construction during the fourth quarter of 2009, and completion is expected during the first half of the next fiscal year.  We also are involved with the ongoing development of 26 additional wind farms that we have under development with various parties and in various stages of development. Our management believes that we are poised for growth as we now have improved our balance sheet liquidity necessary to work through our current projects under development and ability to develop future projects.

Our wind farm projects are based on the formation of partnerships with the farmers upon whose land the wind turbines are installed. Revenue is also derived from our work in the development of wind farms throughout the development process including four major components: feasibility studies, development fees, construction and operations and management oversight .

We hold contract rights, are involved with projects in development and under negotiation, and provide development activities in the wind power industry. Once wind farms are operational, we seek contract rights to provide administrative services agreements which call for management and administrative services to be provided to the operating wind farm. In addition, we occasionally provide turbine maintenance services on a time and materials basis as requested by project owners.

Due to the anticipated increased demand for electricity from alternative energy sources in 2009 and beyond, together with the stimulus from new federal government regulations, we believe the demand for wind energy developments and consumer-owned renewable energy products will be stable or will increase in the foreseeable future. We anticipate a steep increase in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009 as a result of the commencement of construction services on two wind farm projects in Minnesota.    However, revenue is subject to shifts in timing due to delays in construction caused by Upper Midwest climate or other unforeseen circumstances.  The timing of our development fee revenue is also dependent on the ability of the wind farm projects to obtain permanent debt and equity financing.

During the last fiscal year, we added new projects under development, underscoring the demand in the market and specifically for our form of community wind power.  We encountered difficult economic conditions with respect to the financing of wind development projects, and as such, we commissioned no new wind farm projects during 2008 and through September 30, 2009.  In 2009, we have worked to align ourselves with environmentally concerned investors to provide financing options for investment in our projects.  During the third quarter, we worked to move forward on construction on one of our projects under development, the Grant County wind farm, which is approximately a 20 MW wind generation facility in Grant County, Minnesota, consisting of 10 wind turbine generators and related interconnection facilities in Grant County, Minnesota (the “Project”).

Subsequent to the close of the third quarter, as part of the Project, Juhl Energy entered into a Development and Construction Services Agreement (the “Development Agreement”), with each of the individual wind generator companies (a “Generator LLC”) who are also the members of Grant County Wind, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (each  Generator LLC and Grant County Wind, LLC, collectively the “Owner”).  Under the Development Agreement, the Owner contracted with Juhl Energy for the development, design, construction, installation, and financing of the Project’s balance of plant on property in which Owner will have control or an ownership interest. The Project’s balance of plant involves the installation of ten (10) 2.0 MW wind turbine generators, which are the subject of a Turbine Supply Agreement between the Owner and the turbine supplier. Juhl Energy, together with the other primary suppliers of the Project, has also agreed to take a promissory note for a portion of the expected $8.5 million construction cost of the Project together with security interest that is junior to the turbine supplier. Juhl Energy’s primary subcontractor has also agreed to assist Juhl Energy in its financing by deferring payment of its services through the acceptance of a promissory note until permanent financing is placed on the Project.   As a part of this Development Agreement, the primary subcontractor’s note must be paid within 180 days of the substantial completion of the project, and if this does not occur, the subcontractor may exercise legal rights to demand payment from Juhl, including a right of foreclosure on the note delivered to Juhl Energy by the Owners, which could, in turn, allow for conversion of amounts to project equity by Juhl Energy or its primary subcontractor.

Further in the third quarter, in order to continue our ability to develop projects in our pipeline, Juhl Energy has entered into a Frame Order Agreement with a turbine supplier (“Turbine Supplier”), whereby Turbine Supplier will supply certain wind turbine generators for our community wind power projects.  This Frame Order Agreement defines certain terms and conditions, including the scope of supply, pricing, and warranties of the wind turbine generators, that will be included in each Project Turbine Supply Agreement.  Each Project Turbine Supply Agreement will govern the supply and purchase of certain Turbine Supplier wind turbine generators for individual community wind power projects between October 1, 2009 and December 31, 2012.  Further, in addition to the rights and benefits provided under the Frame Order Agreement, Juhl Energy may be entitled to acquire equity in the parent company of the Turbine Supplier (“Parent”) through the issuance of warrants for the purchase of ordinary stock in the Parent, which shall be exercisable upon achieving certain milestones based on volume of turbines purchased, during the term of the Frame Order Agreement.  In addition, as part of the overall working relationship with the Turbine Supplier, we have entered into a letter of understanding whereby an affiliate of the Turbine Supplier  has agreed to invest equity into certain of our community wind power projects that use  its wind turbines.  We believe the  relationship with this Turbine Supplier will benefit our continued growth in the community wind power industry with the development and completion of further community wind power projects.

Revenue

Total revenue increased by approximately $246,000, or 161%, from approximately $153,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, to approximately $399,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Total revenue increased by approximately $149,000, or 16.2% from approximately $918,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, to approximately $1,067,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

In the wind farm development and management segment, which includes all related party revenue, revenue decreased by approximately $22,000, or  15.3%, from approximately $144,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $122,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Revenue increased by approximately $35,000, or 7.8%, from approximately $452,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $487,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a delay in development of projects due to unforseen delays in financing, construction, and turbine supply.  We did not have any new development projects become operational in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 due to the difficulty in obtaining project financing, primarily from the lending community. We expect project financing conditions to improve in the fourth quarter of 2009 and into 2010 due to the federal government intervention within the banking sector in the form of loan guarantees and the focus of the recent federal stimulus package as it relates to the energy industry.

Turbine sales and service revenue, which essentially is our consumer-owned renewable energy segment, increased by approximately $266,000, from approximately $3,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $269,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Revenue increased by approximately $114,000, or  25.3%, from approximately $454,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $569,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The prior year revenues were impacted by the predecessor company’s need to focus on customer warranty and turbine design issues, together with its focus on preparation for sale of the turbine business to Juhl Wind.  The increase is also attributable to an increased volume of turbine units shipped in 2009. We currently have twelve wind turbines in backlog with expected ship dates in the fourth quarter depending on the timing of new components from suppliers.

In August 2009, we reported that the NextGen business entered into a $1 million, 20 year licensing and distribution arrangement with an Ohio company.  The revenue for this arrangement is being amortized over the twenty year period of the agreement. Revenue of $8,300 was included in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from this arrangement.

  Cost of Goods Sold

All of the costs classified in cost of goods sold relate to the consumer-owned renewable energy segment and includes the purchase of previously used turbines, refurbishment parts, project installation costs and one-time amortization of costs associated with the purchase of the NextGen business.  Costs of goods sold increased by approximately $147,000, or 174% from approximately $84,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $231,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Cost of goods sold increased by approximately $104,000, or 26.3%, from approximately $395,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $499,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Cost of goods sold in 2009 includes the amortization of $72,000 in fair value of the customer backlog that had been recorded in conjunction with the October 2008 NextGen acquisition, together with a writedown of certain inventory components as a result of manufacturing and turbine design changes adopted by NextGen management.

Operating Expenses

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $208,000, or 94.3%, from approximately $220,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $428,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $672,000, or 121.2%, from approximately $554,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $1,226,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to approximately $350,000 of professional fees incurred in connection with the increased costs of being a public reporting company, subsequent audit costs over the NextGen acquisition, securities registration filings, legal services for legislative support, and accounting services support. Of this amount, we believe that approximately $225,000 represent one-time costs associated with these professional services.  The increase in general and administrative expenses over 2008 also included increased expenses for travel and supplies in relation to the increased number of employees and activity surrounding project management, NextGen operations and administration. 

Payroll and Employee Benefits.  Payroll and employee benefits expenses increased by approximately $289,000, or 110%, from approximately $264,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $553,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Payroll and employee benefits expenses increased by approximately $1,121,000, or  213%, from approximately $526,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $1,647,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. With regard to the nine month increase of $1,121,000, approximately $668,000 of the increase was attributable to the increase in employee-based stock-based compensation expense over the nine months ended 2008  related to stock options, $110,000 was attributable to an increased number and rate of compensation for executive officers, and the remaining part of the increase was primarily attributable to salaries and benefits for the addition of  eight employees over the prior year.

Wind Farm Management Expenses.  Wind farm management expenses decreased by approximately $30,000, or 73.7%, from approximately $41,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $11,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Wind farm management expenses increased by approximately $69,000, or  62%, from approximately $112,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $181,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in expenses results from the termination of one wind farm administrative services agreement and the related contracted services are no longer being incurred. The year-to-date increase  in expenses was primarily due to the incurrence of one-time costs incurred to upgrade wind farm facilities as requested by the major equity investor in the project.

Investor Relations Expenses. Investor relations expenses decreased by approximately $53,000, or 29.2%, from approximately $181,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $128,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Investor relations expenses on a year-to-date basis were flat, at $181,000 for both the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.  These expenses were paid from a restricted cash fund stemming from the 2008 private placement and the June 2009 warrant exercise and exchange.  

Other income (expense). The Company, beginning on January 1, 2009, recognized its warrants (issued in connection with the 2008 private placement) as liabilities at their respective fair values. This accounting treatment was required under generally accepted accounting principles whereby the detachable warrants must be accounted for as a derivative instrument. As of the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a gain of approximately $2,199,000 from the change in the fair value of the underlying warrants using the Black Scholes method.  The quarter ended September 30, 2009 did not include any adjustments to the fair value of these warrants as the warrants are no longer outstanding as a result of either exercise or exchange of such warrant instruments on June 29, 2009.

Operating Loss

Our Operating Loss increased by approximately $314,000, or 49.2%, from approximately $638,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $952,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Operating Loss increased by approximately $1,817,000, from the operating loss of approximately $850,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to operating loss of approximately $2,667,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.   The increase in operating loss is primarily attributable to the growth in general and administrative and payroll-related expenses as described above.

Net Loss

Net loss increased by approximately $410,000, or 77.7%, from approximately $528,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to approximately $938,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Net loss decreased by approximately $294,000, or 42.4%, from the net loss of approximately $694,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to net loss of approximately $400,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Our net loss is significantly impacted by the fair value accounting over the warrant derivatives and subsequent gain reported in the first nine months of 2009 as described above under other income (expense).

Accounts Receivable

Traditional credit terms are extended to customers in the normal course of business. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally require no collateral.

Property and Equipment

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we held $411,000 and $344,000 in net book value of property, plant and equipment, respectively. These assets included land, buildings, office equipment, shop equipment and service vehicles.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2009, we carried approximately $4,622,000 in cash, restricted short term investments and short term-investments on the balance sheet primarily due to the 2008 private placement and the recent infusion of approximately $2,339,000 from the June 2009 exercise by holders of Series A Warrants.  However, $700,000 of the short-term investments has been designated as security for the bank notes payable of approximately $496,000 and therefore have been reflected in current assets as a restricted asset. In order to provide additional protection to our cash, we obtained an excess deposit insurance bond (at a cost of $7,089) for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Juhl Energy, with respect to cash and certificates of deposit carried in Juhl Energy’s name at First Farmers & Merchants National Bank. The insurance bond increased our deposit insurance protection by $2.4 million and is effective through February 25, 2011. In addition, insurance coverage is available through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to adequately insure the deposits.

We have incurred additional operating costs, especially in the area of professional fees, since becoming a public reporting company. At the same time, we will continue our internal efforts to arrange financing terms for each wind farm project under development. The ability to obtain debt and equity financing is a material factor in producing our future revenue streams and cash flow. We expect to generate positive cash flow when we close on equity and debt financings related to the Grant County wind farm project. Construction is commenced in October 2009 and is expected to be completed in January 2010.  As a part of the financing commitments with the Grant County wind farm project, we agreed to defer our development and construction service fees to the completion and permanent financing of the project.  Our operating cash flows will therefore be delayed until the successful completion of the Grant County wind farm project.

Due to the anticipated increased demand for power from alternative energy sources in 2009, we believe the demand for our services, and therefore our revenues, will be stable or will increase in the foreseeable future. Based on our anticipated level of revenues, we believe that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and cash available from construction and consulting activities, will be sufficient to finance our operations and planned capital expenditures through the next 24 months.
 
 
29

 

We will continue to pursue new community wind farm developments to maintain an active backlog of projects. However, we cannot assure you that these actions will be successful. Should volumes and revenues decline to a level significantly below our current expectations, we would reduce capital expenditures and implement cost-reduction initiatives which we believe would be sufficient to ensure that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and available borrowings under any open credit agreement.

Net cash used in operating activities increased by approximately $282,000, from the net cash used in operating activities of approximately $491,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $773,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The change in net cash used in operating activities of $282,000 is primarily due to the increased operating expenses such as payroll and professional services fees as highlighted above in the discussion and analysis of operating expense , along with making reimbursable cost advances to future project developments.  To offset the impact of these costs and expenses on our operating cash flow, we collected $465,000 of customer deposits for twelve small wind turbines and we received approximately $417,000 in cash from the licensing and distributor arrangement in the NextGen business.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by approximately $127,000, from the net cash generated from investing activities of approximately $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $125,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The change in net cash used in investing activities in 2008 primarily relates to reinvestment of cash into wind farm projects where Juhl Wind is currently the project developer, together with the purchase of production equipment for NextGen.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by approximately $1,872,000, from the net cash flow provided from financing activities of approximately $4,029,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $2,157,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Additional financing activities in 2009 included $2,339,000 in cash received from the exercise and exchange of the Series A Warrants and issuance of Series B Preferred Stock in June 2009. This exercise of the Series A Warrants also involved a $196,710 receivable in the form of a 8% promissory note from one of our current stockholders with payment due by December 31, 2009.

We maintain an investor relations cash escrow account that was initially funded by $500,000 of proceeds received from the 2008 private placement, which occurred during the second quarter of 2008, and an additional $250,000 received from the exercise of Series A warrants and issuance of Series B Preferred Stock in June 2009.  The funds are to be used only for investor relations initiatives.  As of September 30, 2009, we had a balance of approximately $296,000 in the account.

Impact of Inflation

We expect to be able to pass inflationary increases on to our customers through price increases, as required, and do not expect inflation to be a significant factor in our business.

Seasonality

Although our operating history is limited, we do not believe our services are seasonal except for future wind farm construction revenue which may be impacted by climate in the Upper Midwest.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to exercise its judgment. We exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing sound accounting policies and in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenues and expenses, and disclosures of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on a variety factors including our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry, current and expected economic conditions, the composition of our products/services and the regulatory environment. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications are necessary.

While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates. A description of significant accounting policies that require us to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is as follows:

Revenue Recognition.  We receive a down payment upon the acceptance of a development contract by the wind farm owner. With no work performed on the contract, the down payment is considered deferred revenue and is recognized over the estimated life of the contract. We recognize additional revenue from development contracts upon completion of each of the two deliverables in the development contract.  The first deliverable is the acceptance of the power purchase agreement by the wind farm owner and power company. The compensation relating to the acceptance of the power purchase agreement is recognized on the date the agreement is executed. The second deliverable is the commercial operation date of the project. Revenue is recognized for this deliverable when the project becomes commercially operational according to the power company.

We have signed administrative services agreements with several wind turbine projects to provide management and bookkeeping services. The administrative services agreements call for quarterly payments in advance or arrears of services rendered based on the terms of the agreement. The administrative service payments are carried as deferred revenue and recognized monthly as services are performed.

Revenues earned from licensing agreements are amortized straight line over the term of the agreement.

Capitalization and Investment in Wind Farm Project Assets. Our wind farms have four basic phases: (i) development (which includes pre-development consulting), (ii) financing and applications, (iii) engineering and construction, and (iv) operation and maintenance. During the pre-development phase, milestones are created to ensure that a project is financially viable. Project viability is obtained when it becomes probable that costs incurred will generate future economic benefits sufficient to recover these costs.

Examples of milestones required for a viable wind project include the following:

 
·
the identification, selection and acquisition of sufficient land for control of the land area required for a wind farm,
 
·
the confirmation of a regional electricity market and the availability of RECs,
 
·
the confirmation of acceptable wind resources (feasibility study),
 
·
the confirmation of the potential to interconnect to the electric transmission grid, and
 
·
the determination of limited environmental sensitivity.
 
 
31

 

Wind farm project costs are generally funded through 50% equity and 50% debt from outside investors and local banks. We do not invest our capital in the projects we develop, with the exception of reimbursable project advances from time to time. We have established relationships with equity investment partners, as well as with local banks, and these relationships have culminated in the successful funding of several projects. The investment community and marketplace have demonstrated a strong appetite for investments in wind energy in the recent past. These investors recognize a determined rate of return and return of capital typically over a ten year period.  Development fees are generated by us throughout all phases of project development and represent our revenue. Expenses incurred relating to operations are applied under generally accepted accounting principles.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management’s evaluation with participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our President and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that may have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. For a discussion of the changes made, refer to the Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management has conducted, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer, which is our President, and Principal Financial Officer, which is our Chief Executive Officer, an assessment, including testing of the effectiveness, of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009. Management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting was conducted using the criteria in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.   In connection with management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009:
 
 
32

 

           1.           The Company has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically:
 
           a.           Delegation of authority has not been formally documented;
 
           b.           Insufficient oversight of accounting principle implementation; and
 
           c.           Insufficient oversight of external audit functions;
 
           2.           There is a strong reliance on the external auditors to review and adjust the annual and quarterly financial statements, to monitor new accounting principles, and to ensure compliance with GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;
 
           3.           There is a strong reliance on the external attorneys to review and edit the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements; and

           4.           We have not adequately divided, or compensated for, incompatible functions among personnel to reduce the risk that a potential material misstatement of the financial statements would occur without being prevented or detected.
 
Because of the material weaknesses noted above, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009, based on Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by COSO.
 
Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Management is in the process of addressing its material weaknesses in an effort to improve its system of internal control over financial reporting through the following actions:
 
 
1. 
 The Company hired a Chief Financial Officer in January 2009 to provide oversight of the internal control systems, compliance with the GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements, and supervision of the accounting functions.

 
2. 
 In March 2009, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a Disclosure Control policy, which includes, among other things, a Disclosure Committee consisting of the CEO, President and CFO. This Committee will be responsible for managing the identification and disclosure of information in our SEC filings and public statements.

 
3. 
 The Company has assessed control risks with the assistance of an outside consultant who has experience with Sarbanes Oxley compliance and has documented key accounting control areas. We expect to continue this effort through 2009 to meet attestation standards.

 
4. 
 We have established a formal delegation policy within the Company which provides business rules in conjunction with signing and approval authority by Company employees.

 
5. 
 As a small business, the Company does not have the resources to fund sufficient staff to ensure a complete segregation of responsibilities within the accounting function.  However, Company management does review, and will continue to increase the review of, financial statements and bank reconciliations on a monthly basis, together with the adoption of a monthly financial closing process. These actions, in addition to the improvements identified above, will minimize risk of a potential material misstatement occurring.
 
 
33

 

The foregoing initiatives will enable us to improve our internal controls over financial reporting. Management is committed to continuing efforts aimed at improving the design adequacy and operational effectiveness of its system of internal controls.  The remediation efforts noted above will be subject to the Company’s internal control assessment, testing and evaluation process.

Effective  November 6, 2009 (the closing of which was fully completed on November 11, 2009), as part of the Grant County Wind Farm Project (the “Project”), Juhl Energy entered into a Development and Construction Services Agreement (the “Development Agreement”), with each of the individual wind generator companies (a “Generator LLC”) who are also the members of Grant County Wind, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (each  Generator LLC and Grant County Wind, LLC, collectively the “Owner”).  Under the Development Agreement, the Owner contracted with Juhl Energy for the development, design, construction, installation, and financing of the Project’s balance of plant on property in which Owner will have control or an ownership interest. The Project’s balance of plant involves the installation of ten (10) 2.0 MW wind turbine generators, which are the subject of a Turbine Supply Agreement between the Owner and the turbine supplier. Juhl Energy, together with the other primary suppliers of the Project, have also agreed to take a promissory note for a portion of the expected $8.5 million construction cost of the Project together with security interest that is junior to the turbine supplier. Juhl Energy’s primary subcontractor has also agreed to assist Juhl Energy in its financing by deferring payment of its services through the acceptance of a promissory note until permanent financing is placed on the Project.   As a part of this Development Agreement, the primary subcontractor’s note must be paid within 180 days of the substantial completion of the project, and if this does not occur, the subcontractor may exercise legal rights to demand payment from Juhl, including a right of foreclosure on the note delivered to Juhl Energy by the Owners, which could, in turn, allow for conversion of amounts to project equity by Juhl Energy or its primary subcontractor.  Such Development Agreement is included as an exhibit to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009.
