Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and probably will, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this Form 10-K Annual Report, including the risks described under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).





In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to our financial condition, factors that affect our industry, market and customer acceptance, competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing, general industry and market conditions, growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-K Annual Report.





Overview





We are a provider of onsite power generation, energy management and energy efficiency products and services that help support and improve the performance of our nation’s electrical utility grid. We specialize in the deployment of power generation equipment at the consumer’s facility and the integration of that equipment through monitoring and communication systems into a variety of programs that are designed to help support the performance and integrity of the utility’s electrical grid.  These onsite power generation systems support a customer’s critical operations during times of power failure and can serve as demand reduction resources to reduce energy usage and decrease demand on the electrical grid during peak periods. When managed with intelligent monitoring systems and controls, Titan’s programs offer a vital and significant contribution to the development of the nation’s Smart Grid. We contribute the tools and resources to produce immediate and long term improvements in the performance and stability in the energy production and transmission segments of the electrical grid and reduce the need for new power plants.  We believe that our ability to combine the value of onsite power generation solutions with energy efficiency, demand response and asset management services is nearly unprecedented in our industry and  makes the Company more competitive and better able to meet the needs of our customers.





We provide our products and services to industrial, commercial and government customers throughout the U.S. We have more than 1,000 customers representing more than 5,000 generators at locations across the country.  Our customers include utilities, major national retailers, telecommunications companies, banks, data centers, grocery stores, hospitals and other health care facilities, schools and colleges, property management companies, government and military facilities, manufacturers, retail stores among others.





Since our inception, we have grown substantially. We began with one office providing emergency and back-up power in 2006 and have expanded to more than 11 states which are serviced by seven regional offices.  We also have developed a growing international business with sales to the Caribbean, Central and South America. We have expanded our maintenance and service programs for power generation assets and now offer remote monitoring and technologies that support interruptible rate programs for several of our customers.





We reported gross sales revenues of $14 million in 2010, a 32% increase from the previous year.  As discussed in more detail below, about 72% of these revenues were from the sale of power generation equipment and 28% from our service programs. We have significantly grown our service business which for the most part consists of recurring revenue service contracts to maintain and manage our customers’ power generation assets.




Currently, we are operating at a net loss from continuing operations, which was $3,674,120 in 2010.  Our cash out flow from operations was approximately $665,009 for 2010.   The Company believes the EBITDA is a better indicator of our liquidity position which is calculated by adjusting our cash out flow by the changes in operating assets and liabilities and reducing it by interest expense. Our 2010 EBITDA is $1,402,654. Management believes that the company can be EBITDA positive in 2012. Our computation of EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurer is set forth in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis–Liquidity and Capital Resource section of this report.

At December 31, 2010, we had $968,412 in cash and short-term investments. The Company will need to raise additional funds and/or reduce its cash related expenses during the year to have sufficient cash to operate the business.





Significant Recent Developments





The following developments were critical to building our business:





·
In November of 2010, we acquired a software development company called Stanza Systems, which had been previously developing Titan’s remote monitoring technology.  Stanza has also held contracts with BP, Itron, and other companies in the energy industry.  The acquisition of Stanza not only places the monitoring and control systems for onsite power generation within ownership of Titan Energy, but gives Titan a professional team to carry out the development of this proprietary technology.




Titan’s monitoring and control technology is an important part of our overall program.  We see a growing need for better monitoring, improved information from onsite power systems and more sophisticated controls for managing these power assets in their role as emergency backup systems and key elements in a variety of demand response programs.  Our monitoring and control systems will allow customers, other service providers and utilities to better manage onsite power assets, demand response and energy management programs, by delivering greater levels of information, stronger preventative maintenance capabilities and quick, efficient and reliable control systems.





We plan to expand all areas of our business through several initiatives, including increasing our equipment sales; increasing the proportion of our revenues that comes from recurring service contracts; increasing our business in energy efficiency; increasing our market share in power generation through our subdealer program and through strategic and accretive acquisitions; improving our technology offerings in order to create more efficient programs for our customers; expanding the lines and types of energy saving equipment we offer our customers; increasing our sales of renewable energy technologies and expanding the territories where we sell these products; and becoming more involved in managing demand reduction programs for our utility and end-user customers.  These initiatives are discussed in more detail in the Strategy section of this report.





Background




The Management of Titan Energy considers our role in energy management and in the development and operation of the nation’s Smart Grid to be one that can have an immediate and long-lasting impact on the function and stability of the national electrical grid.  To appreciate how our business operates within the complex electrical power industry requires some background on the power industry, the Smart Grid, and the regulatory organizations that influence our business.




The Electric Power Industry





According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. electricity industry has grown to more than $300 billion over the last decade.  The electrical utility grid has not kept up with the growth in demand for power. While energy consumption has actually declined the last few years, according to the North American Electric Reliability Council, demand for electricity is expected to increase over the next 10 years by approximately 18% in the United States, while generation capacity is expected to increase by only 6%. Another way of looking at this is that since 1982, growth in peak demand for electricity – driven by population growth, bigger houses, bigger TVs, more air conditioners and computers – has exceeded growth by almost 25% every year.As a result, in North America the margin between electric supply and demand is projected to drop below minimum target levels over the next few years.




In simplified terms, the utility system can be thought of in terms of two segments: energy production and transmission/distribution.  Utilities have been constrained in their ability to invest in new power production plants needed to meet this projected growth by a restrictive regulatory process, the increased burden of environmental constraints and a lack of government and public support for long-term, major capital infrastructure projects. This has increased the strain on the existing electric power grid and, combined with higher costs to produce electricity, has caused the price of electricity to increase in nearly all areas of the country, especially during peak demand periods.

Challenges at the level of production are mirrored on the transmission side of the electrical power grid. Under-investment in the transmission infrastructure required to deliver power from centralized power plants to end-use customers has resulted in an overburdened electric power grid. This periodically prevents the transport of the lowest cost power to constrained areas, which can affect reliability and cause significant economic impact.  For example, although a base load power plant might have sufficient capacity, if the grid is underdeveloped for delivery, it will result in congestion on the grid.  When there is congestion on the grid, the grid operator might call upon a generating plant to operate based on its ability to alleviate the congestion (its location).  If the called-upon generator is a peaking plant the cost of energy will be higher.  Not only does this increase the cost of energy during non-peak times, when a peaking event occurs the capacity intended for peaking is already being used.





This under-investment in generation and transmission, coupled with a growth in electricity consumption, has led to an increased frequency of brownouts (when power delivery is severely reduced) and blackouts (when power delivery is completely disrupted), which results in lost productivity, loss of perishable goods, and other major problems.


This environment of increasing demand coupled with inadequate resources has generated a strong awareness and growing need in the marketplace for products and services in our strategic growth areas of Emergency and Back-up Power, Power Generation Maintenance Programs, Distributed Generation and Alternative Energy Services.





Electrical Utilities, ISOs and RTOs





A key market for Titan Energy are the utilities, including the growing number of co-operatives, aggregators, and the independent system operators, referred to as ISOs, and regional transmission organizations, or RTOs.  Historically, electric utility companies were formed in North America as regulated monopolies to manage the capital intensive, mission critical service of delivering electricity to end-use customers.  ISOs and RTOs have been formed in some markets to take control of the operation of the regional power system, coordinate the supply of electricity, and establish fair and efficient markets. In these restructured markets, utilities continue to own and maintain their generating plants and transmission and distribution lines, but now independent power generators and electricity suppliers are allowed to openly compete in the market as well.





Titan Energy often works closely with utilities and cooperatives when it comes to interfacing between a customer’s power generation systems and the electrical grid.  We also provide energy audits and efficiency programs for the utilities to their customers.  When it comes to demand reduction programs we often work with the utility provider to ensure that a customer is meeting the requirements of the rate savings program that the utility sponsors.





The Role of New Technology in the Future of the Electrical Grid




Technological advances are beginning to have a profound impact on how the electrical grid operates and how it is envisioned to function in the future.  Indeed, the success of energy efficiency programs and demand response will in many ways be measured by the ability to meet the challenges presented by an electrical utility system that is not technologically efficient or controlled.  In particular, key developments have come in the way of metering, web-based tools and applications and communication protocols.





The Smart Grid




While definitions of what constitutes a Smart Grid vary, nearly all attempts to describe the Smart Grid include one key element: the need to provide accurate and reliable communication of information.  Through monitoring, automated reporting and validation, the Smart Grid can begin to have the multitude of effects that it promises to all sectors of our economy.





For the most part, the electrical utility grid that we have been referring to is not exceedingly “smart.”  The foundation of the transmission system consists of decade’s old technology that oftentimes requires customers to notify the utility of power outages, costly truck rolls to read electrical meters, and inefficient load profiles of electrical consumption. Too often utilities learn of a power outage only when a customer calls, and we still lack the intelligence to prevent many problems and disasters even when we see them coming.  However, billions of dollars, dozens of utilities and hundreds of companies are dedicated to finding a way to bring a new level of intelligence, communication and efficiency to the electrical utility grid.  In fact, many believe the utility grid holds the same if not greater promise as the Internet in our future.




Electric utilities are under increasing economic, regulatory, environmental and societal pressure to deploy open standard based smart grid technologies to more efficiently serve their customers and the public at large.   Likewise, FERC has been directed by Congress to adopt standards and protocols over Smart Grid technologies and FERC has committed to implement rate treatment policies that support investments in Smart Grid technologies.   On July 16, 2009, FERC issued a Policy Statement for development of key standards for Smart Grid devices and systems and an interim rate.  (Source: Smart Grid Policy, 128, FERC ¶ 61,060 (2009))   We are enthusiastic about the opportunities this creates for Titan and our customers.

The economic advantages of having a more intelligent electrical grid are numerous. The U.S. electric power system is designed to be 99.97% reliable. While this sounds good in theory, in practice this error rate translates into interruptions in the electricity supply that directly or indirectly cost American consumers an estimated $150 billion a year (Source: DOE, “The Smart Grid: An Introduction”).  Smart Grid technologies could reduce power disturbance costs to the U.S. economy by $49 billion per year. (Source: Electric Power Research Institute (“EPRI”),“Electricity Sector Framework for the Future”).




EPRI estimates $1.8 trillion in annual additive revenue by 2020 with a substantially more efficient and reliable grid. Delivering the electrical power generated today by more efficient means can greatly reduce the need to build out new power plants by between $46 billion and $117 billion over the next twenty years. Widespread deployment of technology that allows businesses to more easily control their power consumption could add $5 billion to $7 billion per year back into the U.S. economy by 2015, and $15 billion to $20 billion per year by 2020. According to the EPRI’s same report, distributed generation technologies and smart, interactive storage capacity could add another $10 billion per year to the U.S. economy by 2020.




Titan Energy considers itself to be a key participant in the Smart Grid development and implementation, a company that can contribute solutions, new technologies and results that will benefit the utilities and customers alike.




Demand Response Programs




As defined by FERC, Demand Response is “changes in electricity use by demand side resources from their normal consumption patterns in response to changes in the price of electricity, or to incentive payments designed to induce lower electricity use at times of high wholesale prices or when system reliability is jeopardized.” (Source: 2011 FERC Assessment of Demand Response and Advanced Metering)





Demand Response is a resource that is utilized to mitigate the effects of peak demand, those times when the load on the grid outstrips either production or transmission capacity or creates negative pricing effects.  According to the DOE, the majority of operational problems on the electrical grid occur during times of peak demand. These periods of peak load occur relatively infrequently, less than 1% of the time, yet are responsible for the economic impact of power failures as well as the utility’s need to build additional infrastructure or buy expensive energy to meet the need during these relatively rare periods.


It is estimated by the International Energy Agency that over 10% of the $2.65 trillion in electrical power infrastructure to be built between 2007 and 2030 will be constructed specifically to meet peaks in electricity demand which occur less than 88 hours per year. Based on these estimates, the market in North America for reducing demand during these critical peak hours, in place of building supply infrastructure, is $11.5 billion per year, if the need to build-out infrastructure occurs on an equal annual basis. Using these same assumptions, the market for eliminating the top 1% of peak demand for electricity worldwide during this same period could be over $59.2 billion per year.  Based on its June 2009 Congressionally-mandated National Assessment of Demand Response Potential, FERC estimates the potential for peak electricity demand reductions across the country to be between 38 gigawatts (GW) and 188 GW. Another industry analyst, the Brattle Group, estimates that reducing peak demand in America by a mere 5% would yield savings of about $66 billion over 20 years.





As the electric power industry confronts these many challenges, demand response has emerged as an important solution to help address the imbalance in electric supply and demand. For example, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 declared it the official policy of the United States to encourage demand response and the adoption of devices that enable it.  The role of demand response as an electrical utility load control resource has increased as the feasibility of building new production facilities or transmission lines has lessened. As a result, greater and more specific support has been forthcoming from government and regulatory agencies for demand response.





The National Action Plan on Demand Response  published by FERC in 2010 “aspires to maximize the amount of cost-effective demand response resources that can be developed and deployed in the United States.”  This plan sets forth requests  to support the development of new tools and communications  procedures to make DR program more effective and facilitate its implementation in additional markets. In addition, FERC has been looking at the disparity in demand response pricing structures across different ISOs and utilities and questioned whether these pricing structures are adequate to support the development and implementation of DR programs.  In response to these findings, FERC has requested that providers compensate DR. A number of  other proposed rules and orders have been issued which could benefit Titan and other DR providers.


Over the past 10 years, demand response has become such an important resource in helping to maintain the electrical utility grid, that some have gone so far as to proclaim that demand response will evolve beyond its current role in load curtailment to fundamentally change how electricity is produced, transported and consumer.  (Source: 2010 ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings) Already demand response programs have had an impact on price stability, reliability and operations in the bid-based organized markets.
  In other words, demand response is evolving from a capacity resource, which is used primarily to shave peak load in order to keep the lights on, to an energy resource that is used primarily to operate the power system more efficiently and reduce the price of electric for all customer (Source: 2010 ACEEE Report).  While great progress has been realized, future progress will depend on a number of factors, including customer education, better means to track, measure and verify performance, and the development of enabling technologies including advanced metering and the associated communications infrastructure.  In essence, this is the goal of a smart gird.  The enabling technology that will allow for these changes will be advanced power use metering and two-way communication between utilities and customers.

More than 500 entities are currently offering demand response programs in the U.S.  and the potential demand response resource contribution from all programs is estimated to be more than 58,000 MW or about 7.6% of U.S. peak demand.  This is an increase of about 17,000 MW from 2008.  The regions with the largest demand response resources are the Midwest, MidAtlantic, and the Southeast regions.





Interruptible Rate Demand Response




There are many classifications of demand response including: Emergency Demand Response, Interruptible Rate, Direct Load Control, and Load as Capacity Resources.  (Source: FERC 2011)  These four programs account for 79% of the total US peak load reduction program.  Emergency DR accounts for 24% of the peak load reductions, Interruptible Rate for 21%, Direct Load for 16% and Capacity programs for 15%. The 2011 FERC study reported that Interruptible Rate DR will show the greatest increase between the years of 2011 to 2015 and be the leading demand response resource of all programs.





Direct Load Control and Interruptible Rate are perhaps the oldest DR programs, dating back to the late 1960’s. Direct Load Control is most often offered to residential and small commercial customers to control appliances such as air conditioning, heating and pool pumps during peak periods. In most cases, the utility or DR Service provider controls these appliances on behalf of the customer.  Interruptible Load programs, which are most often offered to industrial customers, differ from Direct Load Control in that the customer rather than the utility manages the load curtailment.  In this case, during a peak events, the customer chooses to reduce its power consumption by turning down or off devices or by switching its electricity source to onsite power generation.  The advantage of interruptible rate programs is that while the number of industrial customers who can participate are fewer, the industrial base offers a higher total load reduction potential than residential customers.  (Source: FERC 2011).
 
 One of the most available and productive sources of Demand Reduction is the on-site power generator. The DOE estimates that there are more than 192 GW of potential demand reduction capability in onsite power generation currently installed in the United States (Source: Backup Generators (BUGS): The Next Smart Grid Resource, April 10, 2010). It is likely that generators will remain the on-site generation system of choice for many years to come.  Developments in the design of diesel and other generators have produced a new echelon of engine powered generators that are cleaner, quieter and more environmentally friendly. Power generators as a demand response resource have environmental benefits as well.  The DOE also provides data to support the conclusion that the use of onsite diesel power generators in a demand response program would produce fewer pollutants than gas powered peaking plants.





In fact, the DOE has identified the distributed generation components of the electrical grid as one of the principal areas where improved grid performance could be almost immediately gained.  Titan Energy believes that the ability to utilize these distributed power sources in a variety of intelligent and controllable ways could be one of the answers to improving grid performance and reducing the need to build additional power plants.




Distributed generation assets are typically consumer-owned and rely on a range of generation technologies that deliver electricity directly to the consumer. Generators, photovoltaic panels and small-scale wind turbines are familiar examples. While it is expected that the number of wind and solar power systems will increase, Management believes that generators will remain the distributed power generation system of choice for many years to come due to reliability, cost factors, availability of materials, regional climatic factors and changing financial incentives.  Most importantly, many renewable power sources such as wind and solar, cannot be relied upon to provide power during an emergency due to the unpredictability of wind and sunlight.




Demand response programs aimed at reducing peak load by having onsite generators (called “peak shaving generators”) provide a facility’s electrical power can have economic benefits for both the utility and the consumer.  In many cases, peaking generators only need to run a few hours a year when the load on the grid is at its highest or when energy costs are as high as $1000 per megawatt hour (MWh) to generate (Source: Electricity Advisory Committee's report, “Keeping the Lights On in the New World”). In the longer term, the use of demand response / load management programs as a power generation resource avoids the expense of building peak generation infrastructure.


7


A Smart Grid that connects distributed generation through monitoring and diagnostics also improves asset management and can extend the life of expensive equipment and power generation systems. At the same time, certain technologies will allow the grid to better adapt to the dynamics of renewable energy and distributed generation, helping utilities and consumers more easily access these resources. Titan is dedicated to deploying available Smart Grid applications that can achieve demand reduction, communicate peak prices to consumers so as to allow better decision making, and integrate consumer storage, distributed generation and smart building controls with the goal of peak reduction and significant energy savings.





Energy Efficiency Programs





Energy efficiency refers to long lasting technology measures that produce the same or better levels of energy services (e.g. lighting, air conditioning, heating, motor derived power) using less energy.  Energy efficiency does not necessarily entail sacrifice or reduction in an end user’s environment or operations; rather installation of energy efficient measures results in the same or better level of energy services. In many states and regions, the adoption of these measures is often supported by rebates and financing.   Other energy efficiency measures include appliance standards and building codes that require construction, design and operational standards that build in energy efficiency.





Energy Efficiency and Demand Response





Energy efficiency and demand response are closely related concepts.  Coordinating energy efficiency and demand response could provide customers with better tools to understand, manage and reduce their electrical usage. As electricity prices and information are delivered more effectively to users and control and communication technologies become more widely accessible, demand response will become more automatic and user friendly, allowing customers to identify and more easily target discretionary load that can be curtailed and shifted.  These same technologies will enhance energy efficiency through continuous site commissioning simultaneous with more efficient new buildings, reducing the amount of electricity available for load shifting.  The nature of demand response will also likely change.  While today the bulk of demand response programs are triggered by reliability events, in the future most demand response might be price driven (or linked to congestion management), enabled by automated onsite energy controls fed by near real time pricing information.




Large scale deployment of cost effective energy efficiency resources has the potential to provide significant bill savings for customers and reduce and defer the need for more expensive base load or intermediate generation resources.  Similarly, cost effective demand response resources have the potential to reduce or defer the need for expensive peak generation and to enhance electric system reliability while also increasing the system’s ability to absorb intermittent renewable resources though sophisticated real time monitoring, analytics, and load controls.  As per the FERC National Action Plan: “Effective coordination of energy efficiency and demand response will be necessary to increase the effectiveness and utilization of energy management resources.”





The Impact of Regulation and the Opportunity It Creates




Regulation by State and Federal Government.The state and federal governments’ regulation of the energy industry continue to advance our market opportunities.  The states regulate the retail sales and transmission of energy to consumers, whereas the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) protects consumers by ensuring the wholesale electric market is just and reasonable.





Each state’s regulatory oversight of retail energy rates for consumers also encompasses renewable energy and energy conservation mandates and programs.  Interruptible rate programs, offered by utilities and regulated by each state’s public utility commission, or other state regulatory agency, have increased the payback for our customers who choose on-site generation.   These rate programs and our ability to work with the utility on behalf of a customer provide us with a substantial strength in marketing our on-site generation products.

FERC’s regulation of the wholesale electric market includes sales and transmission of electricity in interstate commerce, and promoting safe, reliable and efficient energy infrastructure.  In The Strategic Plan FY 2009-2014 (September, 14, 2009)FERC identifies key strategies which include the Smart Grid, Demand Response, and Renewable Resources.





Regulation of Power Engines and Emission.In 1996, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced new emission standards aimed at non-road mobile diesel engines including onsite stationary power generators. To be phased in over a four-year period beginning January 2007, these regulations require the new diesel engines which power these generators to comply with a tiered timing structure of emission allowances. Based on the system’s engine horsepower rating, generators are rated from Tier 1 to 4, with most non-emergency diesel engine generators required to arrive at Tier 4 by 2012. Tier 4 requirements are the most stringent.





As of January 1, 2011, the EPA will introduced the next phase of its Tier 4 emissions control regulations. The regulations limit emissions of oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Non-emergency diesel engines less than ten liters per cylinder and greater than 175 hp are required to meet Tier 4 regulations. The term “non-emergency” is very important in this context. Essentially, if an installation is classified as emergency, the power generator must not run unless the primary electrical power source is not available. However, owner/operators are allowed to run their emergency-classified power generators up to 100 hours per year for maintenance and testing. There is no current limit for run time during an emergency or power outage. The challenges facing the electric power industry are unique in a number of areas, particularly with the larger power generators, where regulations focus on reducing nitrogen oxide emissions from generator sets by 90 percent, compared to a 45 percent reduction for other equipment types.





Since the Tier 4 emissions levels are so low, the EPA decided that emergency standby generator sets, which by their nature run very few hours per year, would be exempt from Tier 4 regulations, including any associated after-treatment. Furthermore, the EPA states that emergency standby applications can utilize current Tier products such as today’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 offerings. The list of applications that will require Tier 4 certified generator sets in 2011 are as follows:  non-emergency standby units, prime power applications, load management/peak shaving and electric power rental units.  These include nearly all generators that would be deployed in a demand reduction or load management type of program.


In addition to these federal standards, there are state and local regulations that may force the use of Tier 4 generator sets in 2011 and beyond. In 2011, the State of California will most likely have emissions regulations requiring the use of after-treatment on all standby generator sets including emergency units. As a result it is believed that the vast majority of standby generator sets sold into the State of California beginning in 2011 will be Tier 4.Along with California, some regions and localities have stationary emission limits far more stringent than EPA diesel engine tier levels including: the New England states; Atlanta, Georgia; and Houston, Texas. The result is that diesel-fueled generator sets deployed in these areas, even if certified to the appropriate EPA tier level, may not meet local requirements.


While good maintenance has always been among end-user best practices, the new emissions regulations now imply that maintenance will be larger part of compliance. Although the regulations are not explicit, the EPA requires a diesel power generator to remain in compliance throughout its defined useful life, and that normal maintenance is the only way to accomplish this. This may also include record keeping, validation and other compliance measures which could be audited.




Diesel engine manufacturers will bear the burden of testing their diesel engines and certifying them according to EPA guidelines. However, owner/operators have a great deal of responsibility to understand how the regulations affect power generator availability, how installations are classified, as well as the record-keeping and maintenance requirements. Many companies in the standby and demand reduction industry are rightfully concerned about the impact these new standards will have on their respective businesses.  In effect, Tier 4 will likely increase the expense, lower profitability, and lengthen returns on investment for both back-up power and demand reduction providers and consumers.  However, these new requirements have long been anticipated and the major generator engine manufacturers have been announcing their technological answers to Tier 4 standards and more solutions are becoming available both for new engines as well as for after treatment options. Management believes that engine design and engineering will solve many of these problems and that suitable solutions to its business applications will be available and affordable.




At the same time, we believe that this change in emission policy brings a significant opportunity for Titan Energy. The need for emergency power and demand reduction is not going to decrease.  The costs of not having power or the ability to support our ailing grid are too high. We feel that we have alternative equipment technologies that will satisfy Tier 4 standards, superior solutions such as natural gas engines and smaller diesel units arranged in parallel configurations.  There will also be a greater need for our maintenance and service programs as this will be a requirement of the owners/operators.  And Titan Energy will benefit from the monitoring and validations technologies what will allow for improved operations and compliance with the new regulations.

Titan Energy’s Energy Management Solutions


We have developed the expertise, strategic relationships and technological solutions that we believe will help customers avoid potentially devastating electrical grid failures, improve the operation of the electrical utility system, save customers money and help our nation build a stronger and more effective Smart Grid.  We operate our business in the industrial and commercial sectors of the US economy.  According to a study by McKinsey & Company (“Unlocking Energy Efficiency in the US Economy”), the industrial sector accounts for 51 percent of the end use consumption and 40 percent of the end use potential for energy efficiency.  The commercial sector consumes 20 percent of the end use energy and offers 25% of the efficiency potential.  Electricity represents the major share of consumption in this sector.  Therefore, the industrial and commercial sectors combined represent more than 75% of the energy market as well as the greatest potential for creating energy efficiency results for every dollar invested in energy efficiency.





Currently we have seven offices covering operations in more than twelve states.  Our offices include: Minneapolis, MN; Des Moines, IA; Omaha, NE; Bernardsville, NJ; Miami, FL; Houston, TX, and Detroit, MI.





We operate under two business segments:  Power Distribution Segment and Energy Services Segment.  Within these business segments we  provide our products and services across five strategic business areas: Emergency and Back-up Power Solutions, Renewable Energy Technologies, Power Maintenance Programs, Remote Monitoring and Control Technologies, Demand Response Solutions, and Energy Efficiency.





OUR POWER DISTRIBUTION SEGMENT





Our Emergency and Back-up Power Solutions





According to the DOE, power failure is responsible for $150 billion in annual losses in the U.S (Source: “The Smart Grid: An Introduction”).  There are many industries which simply cannot afford to lose power for any length of time for economic reasons.   The table below illustrates the economic damages across several industries:

OurEmergency and Back-up Powerbusiness provides customers with sophisticated electrical power generation equipment to be used during a power outage or emergency or for load shedding in demand response programs.  Titan Energy offers a complete turn-key solution to help companies avoid costly power outages as well as ensure smooth, uninterrupted operations during times of emergency. We help design, engineer and install the power equipment needed by each customer.  In 2010, sales of power generation equipment accounted for more than $ 10 million or 72% of our business.  We provide what we consider to be the most advanced and reliable power generation systems on the market and operate as an exclusive dealer (10KW and above) for Generac Power Systems in five Midwestern states, and a Power Partner dealer (10KW to 600 KW) for MTU Onsite Energy in Florida.  We also sell switchgear, UPS and related equipment used to support our customers’ power generation systems.





There are an estimated 330,000 industrial enterprises and 4.9 million commercial buildings in the United States (Source: McKinsey, “Unlocking Energy Efficiency in the U.S. Economy”).In terms of population, based on geographic territories that we service, Titan Energy covers approximately 25% of the total U.S. population.  Assuming a roughly equal distribution of facilities across the population, this translates into about 80,000 existing industrial facilities and 1,250,000 commercial buildings within our service territories.  Many of these buildings will already have back power generation systems installed, while many will have older or inadequate systems that need to be replaced, and still others will need to upgrade their system in order to meet new federal and regional regulations and mandates.  A one percent penetration of these markets would result in 800 new industrial customers for our company or an estimated $40,000,000 in new sales of equipment and services, and 12,500 new commercial accounts or an estimated $125,000,000 in new sales.

Our market potential is further influenced by regional factors.  All areas of the United States are subject to failures of the electrical utility grid and the resultant interruption in power, unstable power and greatly increased energy prices during peak periods.  Some areas, however, are more susceptible to power problems.  Our opportunity in some areas of the country is increased due to the occurrence and frequency of storms and other natural disasters.  Florida is a key example of a state that frequently needs to respond to power outages due to hurricanes and high winds.  Other areas of the country experience brown outs and black outs due to heavy snow and ice storms, floods and other natural catastrophes.  Customers in these regions of the U.S. include grocery stores who must maintain power to keep produce chilled or frozen, gas stations and toll booths that must remain operational during time of emergency, bank and financial institutions that require constant online capabilities, health care institutions, public buildings, government buildings and many other businesses.





Federal, state and regional regulations also impact our opportunities.  Some industries are nationally mandated to have adequate emergency and back power due to the nature of their services: hospitals and critical care facilities and financial institutions are a few such examples.  Some states have placed mandates across additional industries due to the frequency of natural disasters and other factors.  In Florida for example, gas stations must have power back-up systems, as well as apartments, schools and many other public buildings.





Of course, it is not realistic to suppose Titan Energy could achieve such potential sales without committing to large scale growth and development in its sales and service team and infrastructure; however, management views this high-level analysis as indicating that the market just within our current service territories is large enough for 10 years of strong growth.




Our Renewable Energy Business





At least 30 states have adopted goals to generate as much as 20% of their electrical energy by the year 2020 from alternative or renewable energy power sources, an effort that will require billions of dollars of new investment in equipment and systems.  Through our Renewable Energy Business, Titan Energy is committed to offering alternative energy technologies, such as solar and wind turbines, when these solutions best help our customer and meet their energy needs.  Through the acquisition of a power generation business in New York in November 2009, we acquired an operation with experience in designing and installing solar power systems for both corporate and government customers in the Northeast. As we continue to seek additional opportunities to install solar technologies, especially in the New York/New Jersey region, Titan Energy expects solar to represent between 15% and 20% of our equipment sales in the Northeast region in 2011.





Titan Energy is committed to providing the most advanced and cleanest power generation equipment available to our customers. From all levels of government, national to regional, demands are being made for renewable power generation technologies, such as solar and wind power, to begin replacing our dependence on traditional power generation.At the same time that energy efficiency programs are targeting existing and traditional power generation systems, the same institutions are creating mandates and distributing considerable financial support to the establishment and deployment of renewable energy power generation technologies, such as wind and solar power.  Again, the administration is leading the way by mandating that by the year 2020, 20% of all energy production in the U.S. be produced by alternative energy sources.  Regional and state governments such as New York have been particularly progressive in demanding through legislation and supporting through incentives the deployment of more wind and solar powered generation systems.





Titan Energy is technically indifferent when it comes to working with a particular kind of power generation source.  We are able to design, engineer, install and manage solar, wind, fuel cells as well as the traditional natural gas and diesel engine generators systems.  In fact, Management believes that there will be greater demand for mixed source power generation systems in the near future and we are preparing our systems and technologies to be able to work with all these future scenarios.





OUR ENERGY SERVICES SEGMENT





Our Power Maintenance Programs





Power generation systems represent considerable investments that require proper maintenance and service in order to operate when required during a time of emergency or during a demand reduction request. Titan Energy’s Power Maintenance Programs offer maintenance, repair and support service for our customers’ power generation systems.  In 2010 these annualized contracts contributed $4 million (28%) of our gross sales revenues.  To support our customers, we maintain warehouses of inventory and parts, a fleet of service trucks and a staff of 18 trained service technicians in both the Midwest and Florida. Titan Energy is committed to utilizing advanced communications and network technologies to improve service.  We offer a secure, state of the art monitoring system that provides 24/7 real time access to a customer’s power generation system.  With remote monitoring and communication controls, we can better manage a customer’s energy assets, maintain their compliance in an interruptible rate program with a utility, and identify potential issues with a company’s power generation systems before a more serious problem occurs.

We expect our service business to grow considerably in the coming years. With every new generator we sell, we expect to sign a service contract for one to five years in length. However, our market potential is not defined solely by the generators we sell.  An increasing number of our service customers are facilities that have acquired generators from our competitors but sign up with Titan Energy for their service needs.





With regard to the size of our potential service market, Management estimates that approximately 30,000 industrial and commercial generators are sold each year in the US by the four major manufacturers. Assuming that sales have been somewhat consistent over the last twenty years, the average lifetime of a generator, this means there are at least 600,000 working, serviceable generators installed in the US.  If Titan’s territory covers 25% of the U.S. population this creates a market of 150,000 working generators that we could potentially service.  From these rough numbers, Management estimates that the total potential market based on currently deployed generators is about $150 million for Titan Energy, while each year there is another $7.5 million market beyond our own generator sales.





Because we are able to service facilities far outside our sales territories, we estimate that these potential numbers are probably only half of what our true total market potential is at this time.  In addition, we also service numerous generators at cellular transmission towers, highway toll booths and direction signs, government and institutional facilities which may not be included in these estimates.  As new regulations make energy back-up systems even more expensive and require maintenance and performance records on generation equipment, customers will be more likely to adopt preventive and maintenance programs so as to protect their investment and comply with the regulators.  Taking all these factors into consideration, we believe the market opportunity for Titan Energy Power Maintenance programs is more than $500 million per year.





Our ability to achieve such sale numbers would require dramatic changes and expansion in our service program and company infrastructure, but accurately indicates that our potential market is large enough to support significant growth for many years.





Titan’s Remote Monitoring and Control Technology for Onsite Power Generation





The ability of onsite power generation to respond quickly and effectively to either a grid failure or a utility demand response event is critical to the operations of the facility that it supports as well as to the utility that depends on it for peaking shaving purposes.  Titan is developing systems that perform 24 hours/7 days a week monitoring of dozens of critical functions on these onsite generators.  In this way, we can see in advance if there is a problem that needs to be addressed, if servicing programs are being administered appropriately and if trends are occurring that suggest and can prevent future problems.  This information can be incorporated into a comprehensive service and management program that can insure that these power generators are ready to perform when called upon.  The result is a system that is as reliable as any other demand response program in the marketplace.





This level of efficiency has not been available from onsite power generation.  In fact, for decades, generators were often referred to as the “blunt instrument” of demand response.  This was due to inefficient communications, monitoring and control programs.  Titan has developed a fully integrated program that not only monitors and provides alarms for generators, but also offers a complete asset management program that provides the multiple levels of reliability, efficiency that customers require and utilities need to effectively manage their load control programs.





Our program will be designed to offer the following features and capabilities:





·
Reliable Asset Management. The ability to engineer, install, service and manage all forms of onsite power generation.


·
State of the art communicationsbetween distributed sources of power generation, the Titan NOC, and utilities.


·
New levels of intelligencecreating unprecedented efficiencies, reliability and functionality.


·
Real time monitoring and controlof multiple disparate power sources now available for the first time.


·
New forms of data collection, reporting and validation.


·
Immediate Value.Built to take on current needs in IR, DR, real time pricing and maintenance of power generation assets.


·
Versatile. Created to work with all forms of power generation – from diesel generators to renewable.


·
Future Applications.Designed for all future energy programs.

Current monitoring systems are primarily defined by the system architecture chosen and the technology used to build it.  Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are built on a point-to-multipoint architecture, based on central processing, low latency communications, and master/slave protocols.  Decisions are made by a central “master station” or by the operator.  These systems were first designed for central control operations of pipelines, substations, large central power plants. The disadvantages of SCADA for onsite power generation application are: expensive hardware, high monthly operations cost, lack of scalability and, difficulty in sharing data.





Machine-to-Machine (M2M) are web based systems that work off a multipoint-to-multipoint architecture, shared and hosted applications, low to high latency communications and internet protocols (connection and connectionless).  M2M is designed to monitor remote sites where SCADA is too expensive and not time sensitive and is often utilized to provide owners of equipment a means to obtain remote data. Advantages are lower hardware costs, reasonable monthly costs and easier to scale. Disadvantages are that user interfaces typically are less sophisticated than SCADA, problems with variable latency, can be difficult to manage and secure, and user interfaces are typically rudimentary.





Titan has recognized that the power generation industry needed much more: in fact what was required was a hybrid system of SCADA and M2M.  Titan’s program is an Asset Management System for Generators, not just an alarm or monitoring system.  Titan’s system will incorporate a variety of new data communication technologies: wireless, secure, efficient and cost effective, in order to provide 24/7 information on all aspects of the generation assets. This is a new control system that allows real time management of equipment and, immediate response to events: dynamic systems to manage larger networks of power generation assets – networks with automated decisions making and controls to solve problems and optimize operations. New validation measures and reporting will provide immediate real time information on activities, results and impactand trending and improvement factors.





Our system will be capable of collecting data from all types of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) or “micro-generators” — diesel and natural gas generators, solar, UPS’s, battery storage, and wind.  It is a fully featured and highly engineered system that will be capable of:




·
Being scaled and utilized for thousands of DER’s managed from a central site or distributed locations and by field technicians nationwide.


·
Integrating with current and future operations applications.


·
An extensible, easily changed User Interface and reporting system.


·
An Energy Management System for controlling and scheduling IR generation independently or through utility interaction.


·
Aggregating available generation for sale to utilities.


·
Integrating into future Smart Grid Distributed Generation Programs.


·
A “ Utility Grade” Managed Service.








13





A unique feature of Titan’s technology is its utilization of distributed intelligence.  End-devices act as SCADA masters and poll in real-time and so can make decisions and report events on an exception basis and perform scheduled tasks utilizing connectionless “over-the-air” protocol.  This system is designed to work efficiently and reliably over packet switched-3G and 4G networks with the following features:
  •
End-devices log data and use store-and-forward data transfer method.


•
A data collection engine and database designed for interfacing to any type of equipment.


•
Designed to interface to outside or 3rd party systems.


•
Designed as a managed service with metadata collected and network management tools used to guarantee and optimize system performance.




Titan’s Management Center is located in Houston, Texas, where we manage the service infrastructure. We have created tools that allow us to ensure reliable data collection and control monitor the end-devices, communications paths, data usage, network components, and other critical components.





Future Uses of Titan’s Technology





While Titan’s technology was designed and developed to allow us to move quickly and effectively into IR and DR markets, this versatile system offers many other opportunities for Titan to expand its sales and services:





•
Generator (DER) Monitoring: Private Label Monitoring for Manufacturers and Distributors.


•
Energy Industry:  Large industrial and commercial facility energy management, Gas pipeline and compressor stations.


•
Water and Wastewater utilities: Water Quality monitoring , water inlets, and wastewater pumping stations.


•
Large Industrial Equipment: Rentals (Geofencing and usage monitoring), Chillers, and Pumps.





Our Demand Response Business





Our Demand Responsebusiness is responsible for managing the power generation assets of our customers in utility-sponsored programs that lessen demand during peak periods and lower utility rates for participating customers. When used at specific times, onsite generators can significantly reduce peak loads and reduce energy expenses for industrial and commercial customers in areas where utilities offer reduced rates for participation in peak load reduction programs. We enter into management contracts with commercial, institutional and industrial customers to help them negotiate and comply with utility sponsored programs for demand reduction.




We believe that the market opportunity is significant and will remain so as demand response programs, operational efficiency and energy savings are given increased priority by commercial, institutional and industrial end-users of electricity, and as energy market prices remain volatile. Titan Energy generates revenues in various ways from this program:  the sale of power generation equipment, service and maintenance contracts for the equipment after installation, and separate monitoring and management fees that help the customer comply with the utilities and the regulatory agencies.  We are also looking at contracts in 2011 that will allow us to share in the rate savings in return for providing these various services.  Our experience with industrial generators, our established relationships with utilities and ability to integrate new communications technology to support demand response programs uniquely position Titan Energy in this business segment.


Our Energy Efficiency Business


In 2010, we acquired the Minnesota based business, Sustainable Solutions, in order to begin providing more of our customers with energy efficiency support and programs.  Sustainable Solutions has a contract with Xcel Energy to provide energy audits for industrial customers in the Midwest.  These audits function to educate customers, offer suggesions on how facility can implement energy saving programs, and provide the utility with a report on the energy efficiency index of their industrial customers.  Titan is usually compensated by the utility for conducting these audits.  Energy audits play an important role in preparing a facility to adapt other programs such as demand response.  But first reducing the base energy load of a facility through more efficient lighting or other energy efficiency measures, Titan can reduce the customer's cost to enter a demand response program by reducing the size and therefore the cost of the load shaving  power generator.

The MPS system is based upon diesel fueled units of 400, 500 or 600 kW working in concert to offer outputs ranging from 800 to 6000 kW, and natural gas units of 100 to 300 kW with combined outputs of 200 to 3000 kW. In addition to the above models, the entire MPS product offering uses Generac’s PowerManager® Digital Control Platform, which brings reliability and flexibility to the control of these systems.





Many of our customers are seeking “greener” solutions for stand by and emergency power generation. The new Generac Bi-FuelTM configuration provides a number of alternative energy options. This technology uses a combination of diesel and natural gas to take advantage of the best qualities of each fuel (more power from diesel, lower emissions from natural gas). Bi-Fuel configurations are available for both stand-alone and MPS applications.  Single-engine units are available at 300 and 375 kW output, while Gemini Twin Pack modules are rated at 600 and 750 kW. MPS versions can be combined as needed to achieve numerous power outputs up to 3750 kW.  While operating under load, Bi-Fuel units can operate on up to 90% natural gas. If conditions dictate, the unit can revert to 100% diesel fuel with a no break automatic fuel changeover. The on-site diesel fuel tank required for Bi-Fuel units can also be smaller, if desired, to save space and cost.





Management believes that the MPS units and in particular the natural gas units offer affordable solutions to some of the new regulations such as Tier 4 requirements which are currently impacting the use of diesel engine generators in demand reduction programs.  For more on this, please refer the Section on Market Opportunities: Regulatory Issues.

Once the engine generator is producing proper voltage and frequency the UPS switches in the building load onto the engine generator.  This provides the highest degree of protection typically used by Data Centers, Banks and Credit Card companies.





Renewable Energy Technologies




While influenced heavily by rebate and incentive programs, we have seen an increased interest and demand for solar technology solutions from our commercial customers, sometimes as a standalone power generation solution, other times as a mixed source solution.  We do not work with one solar panel manufacturer but instead work with established wholesalers who have volume purchase agreements with several manufacturers.  This way, we are better able to meet the particular needs of a customers or applications.  In general we provide project management of these solar installations, working with established engineers and installers to complete the project for our customer.




While we have not completed any installations in other areas of renewable energy, our Management has extensive experience in combined heat and power (CHP), wind turbines and fuel cell technologies and we feel prepared to take on these opportunities as they become more available in the future.




Maintenance and Service Programs




Titan Energy recognizes additional revenue from service contracts, installation and maintenance services for its customers and owners of power generation equipment. We offer service contracts and support to all generator owners. The service contracts yield higher margin as compared to equipment sales and help support our efforts to achieve profitability. These service contracts may also include remote monitoring services which allow owners to be informed of the condition and operations of their equipment at any time and from any place. With terms ranging from one to five years, service and remote monitoring contracts are providing the Company with recurring revenues.





We provide factory trained technicians with parts and manuals in their trucks and in our warehouse, all to accomplish the most responsive and proficient service available. Our services have these specific advantages:





·

Strategy





Currently, Titan Energy specializes in providing industrial, commercial and institutional customers with the power generation equipment and energy management solutions that enable our customers to maintain critical operations during a grid failure and to better manage their energy usage and save money.  We consider ourselves the experts when it comes to integrating onsite power generation equipment with the needs of the local electrical grid and utility based programs.  Our knowledge of key technologies, our network of offices and service centers in more than 11 key states, our expanding base of more than 1,000 customers including several Fortune 500 companies, and our established working relationships with utilities across the country are all key factors that position Titan Energy to capitalize strongly in energy management, demand response and energy efficiency.





Our strategy is to capitalize on our growing national footprint of sales and service centers, our scalable technology platform and our market position to continue providing intelligent energy solutions to commercial, institutional and industrial customers and utilities. Ultimately, our aim is to become one of the leading energy management solutions providers for commercial, institutional and industrial customers throughout the United States.





We plan to grow significantly as a company over the next several years through the development and successful implementation of the following business initiatives:




Expansion of Our Power Generation Sales in Existing Territories





Sales of power generation and associated equipment will provide the Company with significant revenues and create opportunities for Titan Energy to develop long term customer contracts for service and in some cases demand reduction programs.  These sales also create opportunities for us to deploy our monitoring and communication technologies; services that generate recurring revenues and stronger profit margins.  We will grow our Equipment sales in the following ways:





Increase Equipment Sales in Existing Territories.We now cover rich market territories in the Midwestern, Southeastern and Northeast United States.  Our goal is to now begin to exploit these territories by bringing in qualified, professional sales people from the power generation industry who can help us build our brand, our sales and our revenues.





Expand Equipment Sales Through Sub Dealer program.  Titan Energy has made a commitment to expand its Subdealer program in all of its existing territories where it has an exclusive relationship with a manufacturer.  Subdealers are independent sales and service companies that are authorized by Titan to market, sell and service our line of power generation equipment.  Subdealers are generally paid a commission on sales.  There are several potential subdealers in our current territories, representing the ability of Titan Energy to double its equipment and service sales through this program alone.





Expand Sales into Underrepresented Territories.We have identified several key territories that offer great opportunities for high margin equipment sales including: the Caribbean, Central America and South America.





Web based Sales.We will seek to expand our ability to offer web based sales of equipment and parts through the development of a sophisticated online ordering system.





Expansion of Our Operations Into Other Key Geographical Territories




We also expect to expand our addressable market by pursuing opportunities in new geographic regions in North America and beyond.  We have been able to further our relationships and increase our revenues with a number of major customers due to our ability to service customers across several regions of the United States.  We feel that by expanding our operations to cover territories in California and Texas, for example, we will achieve a footprint that covers as much as 50% of the United States.  This expansion would take place primarily through acquisition of established, accretive operations in these areas.





Expansion of Our Power Maintenance Programs





Our Maintenance and Service programs usually involve recurring revenues and offer higher margins than equipment sales.  The Company is focused on aggressively increasing the number of these contracts throughout our territories and expanding the number of national accounts that allow us to service multiple facilities for a customer throughout the United States. We will seek to accomplish this expansion in the following ways:





Improve our Service Management Systems.We are in the process of improving the capability and efficiencies of our software systems that support our Service programs.  These improvements will allow us to process, monitor, and validate orders more accurately and efficiently, thereby allowing our company to take on getter numbers of customers.





Increase the number of national accounts.We have been very successful in 2010 in acquiring national accounts for our service program.  We have developed a nationwide network of service providers that can assist us in providing Titan level of service to our customer anywhere in the United States.


17





Expand Our Service Sales Force.We believe we have the internal capacity to aggressively expand our service sales in the Midwest and Florida, where we have established operations, without adding significantly to our administrative or overhead expenses.  We also plan to open service sales operations in additional territories such as New York, New Jersey and parts of the Midwest.





Sub Dealer Program. Through our subdealer program in the Midwest, we expect to acquire relationships with a number of established companies that will also offer Titan Energy additional service opportunities.  As with equipment sales, the cost of new service contracts through our subdealer program is minimal and as an exclusive dealer in these territories, we are the only authorized service provider for the industrial line of products.





Strategic Acquisitions.We have identified potential acquisition candidates that provide quality power generation service in strategic areas for Titan Energy.





Expansion of Our Renewable Energy Business





We believe renewable energy technologies and services will play a large role in Titan Energy’s future growth as the technologies become more affordable and effective and mandates require the continued installation of solar, wind and other renewable energy power generation sources around the U.S. Our broad geographic reach, sales offices in key population areas and professional team of experienced 24/7 technicians are key incentives for renewable energy companies to work with Titan Energy.





We have a sales arrangement with a major solar wholesaler which we hope to formalize into an exclusive sales agreement for specific territories. This wholesaler will provide Titan Energy with leads for solar systems sales in various regions of the United States.  We expect to do between $1 million and $2 million in sales through this agreement alone in 2011.





Expansion of Our Energy Efficiency Programs


The demand for qualified energy auditors is increasing in many regions of the country as buildings and facilities are being required to meet new energy efficiency standards.  Many utilities in our service areas are seeking to hire qualified third party auditors to provide energy audits for their industrial and commercial customers.  Titan Energy has extensive experience and trained personnel to provide these audits and has established agreements with utilities in the Midwest to begin offering these services.  We offer a total solution to energy efficiency: we can provide technical audits, provide energy savings solutions, help customers understand and benefit from various government and utility sponsored programs to reduce energy usage, help match up a customer with more advantageous utility programs, obtain and install traditional and/or alternative power generation systems to take advantage of available financial incentives.




We plan to expand this program in the Midwest as well as in New York, New Jersey, Florida and other areas through the following initiatives:




Sign on with Utilities as Energy Auditors.Target utilities that have existing energy audit and efficiency programs in our key territories.





Expand Energy Audit Sales Force.Recruit, train and deploy accredited energy auditors in each or our service areas. Develop relationships with established energy efficiency companies to provide audit services for Titan Energy.





Expand into Additional Territories.Open offices and develop a contractor program to work with the major utilities and energy organizations in each region.





Expansion of Our Demand Response Programs




Management believes that onsite distributed power generation systems offer an under-utilized resource for solving problems related to congestion and failure on our electrical power grids. These programs are also of potential economic benefit to the customers who participate.  According to the DOE, less than 5% of the potential power available from distributed generators is being utilized to support our electrical power grid and that utilizing only 5% of this potential would save the U.S. economy more than $40 billion per year.





As more Demand Response programs are developed and offered, Titan is well suited to help customers participate.  Customers with very small generators will be able to participate through an Aggregator.  Savvy customers will want to take advantage of the potentially more lucrative programs in the wholesale market.  Titan Energy will seek to expand its role in the demand response industry providing a full range of load management services to our industrial and commercial customers. Our services will allow our customers to utilize incentives to reduce electric demand during periods of peak demand using onsite generation to shift load off the electrical grids and thereby preventing grid failures. By improving grid reliability and efficiency, we delay the need for construction of new generation plants. In effect, all consumers of electricity would benefit from our demand response activities. We will enter into contracts with commercial, institutional and industrial customers to help them negotiate and comply with utility sponsored programs for demand reduction. We will support these programs with the ability to install new equipment, maintain existing power generation systems and advanced communications and control technologies. We believe we can attain good growth within our current customer base as well as through establishing these programs with new customers in our service territories.


18





Utilizing our current customer base of more than 1,000 companies with more than 5,000 generators creates a base of potential customers for Demand Response Programs. Management estimates that if we can attain 5% penetration of our current customer base per year, the result would generate as much as $6 million in new recurring revenues contracts per year. In other words, over five years we could expect to generate as much as $60 million in annual revenues from these kinds of programs.  However, we will not limit our demand response programs to our current customers, and will seek contracts with any eligible customer within our service territories, thereby increasing our potential market opportunity several fold.





In addition, we are committed to the development, implementation and broader adoption of technology-enabled demand response solutions. This technology enables us to continuously monitor remotely, deliver and receive alerts, send control signals to, and receive bi-directional communications from an Internet-enabled network of dispersed end-use customer sites.  With this technology we can better coordinate requests from utilities as well as manage, monitor and remotely maintain our customers’ generators.  We believe that improved communications and network technologies will increase our opportunities in the demand reduction industry by giving us the ability to offer a more efficient and responsive service to a broader range of potential customers.





Sales of Technology-Enabled Energy Management Solutions





At Titan Energy, we believe literally in the maxim: “You can’t manage what you can’t measure.”  One of our goals is to develop and expand the use of more effective monitoring and communication technologies that will allow us to better measure and so manage our customers’ energy assets.  We feel that as the industry experts in power generation systems and maintenance, we should offer the most sophisticated and effective monitoring and reporting systems on the market.  We plan to develop these programs through internal development and acquisition of key companies and/or technologies. The result of utilizing these technologies will be greater efficiencies in managing customer assets, greater revenues through the deployment of recurring revenue service programs, and lowered costs due to less need for technicians to manually monitor and service equipment.  Key systems we plan to offer include:




Remote, Automated, On-line Monitoring Systems.Titan Energy offers one of the most effective and reliable online metering systems for power generation systems.  We plan to expand the capabilities of this technology and make it available to a greater number of our customers as part of our services and maintenance program.





Metering Systems.   We have identified a number of metering systems that provide onsite monitoring and information to consumers.  We are currently working with a number of end users to determine the validity, efficiency and pricing for these newer series and hope to move into commercial implementation later in 2011.





Online, Automated Reporting Services.  As the need increases for detailed, real-time information about generator operations and efficiencies due to regulatory and other factors, we intend to provide the reporting and management programs that will allow our customers to more easily and cost effectively comply with regulators.





Capitalize on Emerging Legislation




The need for demand reduction, energy efficiency and smart grid capabilities has been endorsed by the federal government with the passing of the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, which included a smart grid provision allocating federal funds to smart grid projects, and mandating all utilities look at smart grid alternatives prior to building additional generation capacity. The provisions of this Act were strengthened by the passing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed in February 2009 which is intended to inject billions of dollars into the development and deployments of energy efficiency technologies. It is our intention to pursue opportunities created by federal and state legislation to promote energy efficiency, demand reduction and smart grid technologies and wherever possible to seek financial support for the development and deployment of our new technologies.




At the same time, there have been critical changes in the regulations governing power generators and emergency power systems.  We believe that these changes in emissions policy, while posing challenges to everyone in the industry, also brings significant opportunity for Titan Energy.   The need for emergency power and demand reduction is not going to decrease.  The costs of not having power or the ability to support our ailing grid are too high. We feel that we have alternative equipment technologies that will satisfy Tier 4 standards, technologies which offer superior solutions such as natural gas engines and smaller units arranged in parallel configurations.  There will also be a greater need for our maintenance and service programs as this will be a requirement imposed on the owners and operators.  And Titan Energy will benefit from the monitoring and validation technologies what will allow for improved operations and compliance with the new regulations.

Operations





As of December 31, 2010, we had 60 employees. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we have not experienced any work stoppage. We consider our relations with our employees to be good. Our future success is dependent in substantial part upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified management, technical, marketing and other personnel. Our operation comprises several functionally distinct sub-groups: Executive, Customer, Sales and Services.





Executive Operations




Executive operations primarily deal with the roles and responsibilities that we have as a publicly traded company.  This involves general fiduciary and operational oversight, compliance with SEC financial reporting requirements, meeting with our Board of Directors, as well as shareholder and investor relations.  Currently we have three individuals in executive operations: our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer.  We have a Vice President of Business Development in support of the executive officer.


Customer Operations





Customer operations are responsible for all project management, hardware installation, and ongoing customer relationship management. The eight  members of this group include project managers, accounts receivable and accounts payable personnel, warranty specialists, accounting directors and assistants and administrative support. Five of these individuals are located at our Minneapolis office, two in Florida and one in New Jersey.





Sales Operations





As of December 31, 2010, our sales team consisted of 17 employees. We organize our sales efforts by product type.





Our commercial and industrial sales group sells power generation equipment to commercial, institutional and industrial customers. Our commercial and industrial sales group is located in major electricity regions throughout the United States, including New York, Florida, and the Midwest. In each of these territories, we have a general manager, who reports to our Chief Operating Officer.





Our service sales department sells maintenance and repair service contracts to industrial and commercial customers who have power generators.  These contracts can vary in term from one year to as many as ten years. In many cases, our service sales teams follow up on sales of power generators from our industrial sales group, while also pursuing service contracts with customers which own power generation equipment from other suppliers. We have service sales personnel in the Midwest and in Florida.  These employees report to the General Manager in each of these areas.





Service Operations





Titan Energy prides itself on the quality, training and commitment of our Service Department.  We feel that delivering timely, quality service to our customers is the best way to maintain loyalty and generate new sales.





Personnel –We have a total of 18 service technicians located in the Midwest and Florida.  Three of these personnel are considered master technicians who have received advanced training and instruction on power generation systems and related equipment.  All technicians are required to receive ongoing training and education through programs offered by our manufacturers.





Trucks and Service Vehicles – we have a total of 16 modern service trucks which carry more than $230,000 of equipment, parts and tools.  Since some of our customers are located in remote areas, our trucks must be properly equipped to complete a job while on site.





Equipment – we also have numerous special tools and equipment which are necessary to perform our duties as service technicians for these sophisticated power generation systems.  These tools include load banks, fuel cells for refueling, fluke meters, infrared scanners, warranty kits, and all tools required to work on electrical and mechanical systems that make up a power generation system.


20





Technologies – we offer remote monitoring systems which allow us to place a monitoring device on a power generation system and transmit data from that equipment to our offices where systems can be monitored 24-hours a day.  These systems can also be used to remote start power generation equipment and perform various tests which help indicate the equipment’s status.





Inventory — Titan Energy carries approximately $700,000 in inventory.  We have nearly $225,000 in inventory at our Florida facilities, a number which can increase if there is a presence of threat of major storms in the area.





Warehouses – we have fully equipped and stocked warehouses in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Ankeny, Iowa; Omaha, Nebraska; and Miami, Florida.




Competition




We face intense competition in all of our business segments, strategic growth areas and business units.




In our Emergency and Back-Up Power business, we face competition from larger more established companies that such as Caterpillar, Cummins, Kohler and other smaller equipment manufacturers. We believe we offer power generators that in many cases feature improved capabilities, more fuel alternatives and greater redundancy features.




In our Power Maintenance business, we face some competition from manufacturers of power generation equipment as well as electrical contractors and small companies that specialize in service of power generation equipment.  Management believes that we offer a higher level of service, provided by better trained and more professional service technicians.  We also believe we offer technological service tools that improve our service offerings and allow us to act proactively in more cases.




In our Energy Efficiency business, we complete with numerous small energy auditors, energy efficiency companies, and electrical contractors.  Few of these competitors provide the full range of services that Titan Energy does.




In our Demand Reduction business, several companies are also becoming leaders in uninterruptible power supply system technology, and companies developing and marketing their proprietary smart grid technologies are also potential competitors. To a lesser extent, we face competition from small regional electric engineering firms that specialize in the engineering aspects of the distributed generation. We believe that we have engineered a superior solution for demand reduction programs for industrial and commercial customers, a solution that offers greater reliability, reduced costs and improved operational qualities.




In our Alternative Energy business we face competition from many companies that specialize in alternative and renewable energies and have larger marketing and advertising budgets.  We work with what we believe are the most diverse and advanced solar technologies, as well as wholesalers that have more competitive pricing on solar panels and equipment, and so we believe we can offer better and more customized solutions to best meet our customers’ needs.




Overall, the markets for our products, services and technologies are competitive and are characterized by rapidly changing technology, new and emerging products and services, frequent performance improvements and evolving industry standards. We expect the intensity of competition to increase in the future because the growth potential of the energy market has attracted and is anticipated to continue to attract many new competitors, including new businesses as well as established businesses from different industries. As a result of increased competition, we may have to reduce the price of our products and services, and we may experience reduced gross margins, loss of market share or inability to penetrate or develop new markets, any one of which could significantly reduce our future revenues and adversely affect our operating results.




We believe that our ability to compete successfully will depend upon many factors, some of which are outside of our control. These factors include:




•
the performance and features functionality and benefits of our, and of our competitors’ products and services;





•
the value to our customers for the price they pay for our products and services;





•
the timing and market acceptance of new products and services and enhancements to existing products and services developed by us and by our competitors, including the effects of environmental initiatives on new technologies and customer preferences;




•
our responsiveness to the needs of our customers;




•
the ease of use of our, and of our competitors’ products and services;


21




•
the quality and reliability of our, and of our competitors’ products and services;




•
our reputation and the reputation of our competitors;




•
our sales and marketing efforts;




•
our ability to develop and maintain our strategic relationships; and




•
The price of our, and of our competitors’ products and services, as well as other technological alternatives in the marketplace.




We believe that in many of our markets we have established ourselves as a niche supplier of high quality, reliable products and services and, therefore, compete favorably with respect to the above factors, other than price. We do not typically attempt to be the low cost provider. Rather, we endeavor to compete primarily on the basis of the quality of our products and services. In order to be successful in the future, we must continue to respond promptly and effectively to the challenges of technological change and our competitors’ innovations. We cannot provide any assurance that our products and services will continue to compete favorably in the future against current and future competitors or that we will be successful in responding to changes in other markets including new products and service and enhancements to existing products and service introduced by our existing competitors or new competitors entering the market.




Many of our existing and potential competitors have better name recognition, longer operating histories, access to larger customer bases and greater financial, technical, marketing, manufacturing and other resources than we do. This may enable our competitors to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or preferences and to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services than we can. Our competitors may be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive offers to potential employees, customers, strategic partners and suppliers and vendors than we can. Our competitors may develop products and services that are equal or superior to the products and services offered by us or that achieve greater market acceptance than our products do. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to improve their ability to address the needs of our existing and prospective customers. As a result, it is possible that new competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share or impede our ability to acquire market share in new markets. Increased competition could also result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, and the inability to develop new businesses. We cannot provide any assurance that we will have the financial resources, technical expertise, or marketing and support capabilities to successfully compete against these actual and potential competitors in the future. Our inability to compete successfully in any respect or to timely respond to market demands or changes would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.





Regulatory Issues




Our businesses and operations are affected by various federal, regional, state, local and foreign laws, rules, regulations and authorities. While to date, our compliance with those requirements has not materially adversely affected our business, financial condition or results of operations, we cannot provide any assurance that existing and new laws and regulations will not materially and adversely affect us in the future. Likewise, as promising as we hope some of the new regulations are for Titan’s business, it is feasible that those opportunities may not come to fruition.  At this time we cannot assess the impact that the stimulus package adopted by Congress in February 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will have on our business and operations or on our competitors.  Nor can we assure results from the National Action Plan for Demand Response or dynamic or real-time rates.




Regulation of Electricity. Rules and regulations within the electricity markets impact how quickly our projects may be completed, could affect the prices we can charge and the margins we can earn, and impact the various ways in which we are permitted or may choose to do business and, accordingly, our assessments of which potential markets to most aggressively pursue. The policies regarding our distributed generation solutions, safety regulations and air quality or emissions regulations, which vary by state, could affect how we do business. For example, some state environmental agencies may limit the amount of emissions allowed from generators utilized by our customers. We expect the electric industry to continue to undergo changes due to the changing and uncertain regulatory environment.


22


Regulation of Diesel and Other Engine Generators. In 1996, the EPA introduced new emission standards aimed at non-road mobile diesel engines such as construction and agriculture equipment. Based on the systems’ engine horsepower rating, generators are rated from Tier 1 to 4, with most non-emergency diesel engine generators required to arrive at Tier 4 by 2012. Tier 4 requirements are the most stringent and will most likely increase the expense, lower profitability, and lengthen returns on investment of back-up power and demand reduction solutions.
  Management believes that engine design and engineering on the part of the manufacturers will solve many of these problems and that suitable solutions to its business applications will be available and affordable.  At the same time, we believe that this change in emission policy brings a significant opportunity for Titan Energy.   We feel that we have alternative equipment technologies that will satisfy Tier 4 standards, technologies which actually offer a superior solution such as natural gas engines and smaller units arranged in parallel configurations.  There will also be a greater need for our maintenance and service programs as this will be a requirement of the owners and operators.  And Titan Energy will benefit from the monitoring and validation technologies what will allow for improved operations and compliance with the new regulations.
  Overall we believe current regulatory changes bring Titan and our customers more opportunities.  Savvy customers will be the first to take advantage of Smart Grid opportunities and will participate in cutting-edge energy rates and incentives for renewable and efficient technologies to help their bottom line.  Titan’s core offerings are a good match for these applications and we are well positioned to facilitate our customers’ participation.  Likewise, we are committed to helping our customers achieve compliance of regulations, such as Tier 4, and will continue to monitor regulatory agencies and industry to help our customers and make wise cost-effective business decisions.




Research and Development




We have expended considerable resources in the development of our monitoring and control technologies.  This includes the acquisition of Stanza Systems as well as more than $400,000 in development money committed to building out this program and make it ready for market in the summer of 2011.  We expect to continue to have to expend additional capital and resources to expand and maintain the capabilities of these systems as we introduce it into the marketplace.





Seasonality





The demand for equipment and service varies from region to region and by season.  In the Midwest, we often experience a dramatic slow-down in orders and completed jobs during the winter months due to ice, snow and cold weather conditions.  In the Southeast, we often see increased business activity during times of storms or hurricanes.  Typically we experience considerably higher revenues in our second and third quarters as compared to our first and fourth quarters.

Risk Factors




Our Need for Capital to Support Future Growth


Titan Energy will need additional capital to continue operations and will endeavor to raise funds through the sale of debt or equity shares and revenues from operations. There can be no assurance that Titan Energy will generate revenues from operations or obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms, if at all. Failure to obtain such capital or generate such operating revenues would have an adverse impact on Titan Energy’s financial position and results of operations and ability to continue as a going concern. Operating and capital requirements during the next fiscal year and thereafter will vary based on a number of factors, including the level of sales and marketing activities for services and products. There can be no assurance that additional private or public finances, including debt or equity financing, will be available as needed, or, if available, on terms favorable to Titan Energy. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and such additional equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our existing common stock.

ITEM 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.





Statements included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in future filings by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in our press releases and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer which are not historical or current facts are “forward-looking statements” and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect our actual results and could cause our actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement: (i) the extremely competitive conditions that currently exist in the market for companies similar to us, and (ii) the lack of resources to maintain our good standing status and requisite filings with the SEC. The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive and we disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.





OUR BUSINESS





We are a provider of onsite power generation, energy management and energy efficiency, products and services that help support and improve the performance of our nation’s electrical utility grid. We specialize in the deployment of power generation equipment at the consumer’s facility and the integration of that equipment through monitoring and communication systems into programs such as demand response that supports the function and integrity of the utility’s electrical grid.  These onsite power generation systems support a customer’s critical operations during times of power failure and serve as demand reduction systems that work to reduce energy usage and decrease demand on the electrical grid during peak periods. When managed with the proper intelligent monitoring systems and controls, this onsite power generation assets offer a vital and significant contribution to the development of the nation’s Smart Grid. We contribute the tools and resources to produce immediate and long term improvements in the performance and stability in the energy production and transmission segments of the electrical grid and reduce the need for new power plants.


27





In 2006, we acquired Stellar Energy, a Minneapolis-based provider of power generation equipment and service. Stellar Energy is now called Titan Energy Systems (‘TES”) and has expanded its number of sales and service offices to include Nebraska, Iowa, North and South Dakota, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. TES provides our company and its satellite offices with much of it’s accounting and back office support.




In 2009, we acquired the Industrial and Service Division of RB Grove, a 52-year old power generation provider located in Miami, Florida.  This company is now called Grove Power Inc. (“GPI”) and will be responsible for our expansion throughout the Southeastern United States, the Caribbean and Central America.




In 2009, we acquired a power generation business in New Jersey which gave us purchase orders, backlog and extensive customer and marketing relationships in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey.  This business has been involved in managing several major solar installations as well as electrical generators. This business has been merged into TES.




In 2009, we discontinued the operations of Titan Energy Development, Inc. (“TEDI”).  TEDI was dedicated to producing a multifunctional utility product.





In 2010, we acquired Sustainable Solutions, Inc (“SSI”), which is engaged in the energy audits, energy consulting and energy management services in the Midwest region.





In 2010, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Stanza Systems, Inc., which gave us a software development company experienced in smart grid and utility operations with developed network communications software that we plan to utilize in our business. This company is doing business as Stanza Technologies (“Stanza”).

The increased sales in the Power Distribution segment is primarily attributable to the full year effect provided by Grove Power of $741,000 and by New York sales office of $1,600,000. TES Power Distribution sales grew slightly in 2010 and displayed strong momentum in the first quarter of 2011 as end markets continued their apparent recovery from the economic downturn in 2008 and 2009.





The increase in our Energy Services segment sales is due the full year effect of Grove Power. Stanza, SSI and the New York office accounted for $584,000 of increase. This increase in service sales is also attributable to an increased of sales staff and our success signing on larger national accounts.

The lower cost of sales in the Power Distribution segment is attributable to our success in obtaining new sales at higher margins in the New York and Florida marketplace. The Midwest region has more competitors and is more willing to take lower margins on some sales in order to maintain a certain market position in this region.




The higher cost of cost of sales in the Energy Service segment is attributable to the Grove Power service business which was 51% as compared to TESI’s cost which was 45%. The company is implementing some of the same procedures in Grove Power in order to decrease the cost of sales through part pricing and scheduling work orders to have less travel time.  In 2011, this overall  percentage will probably increase due to the inclusion of Stanza contract work with is normally at a 40% cost of sales.
 Selling and Service Expenses
 Sales and services expenses includes all of sales and service personnel, benefits related to these personnel and other costs in support of these functions. The Selling and Service expenses were $2,731,926 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $1,410,620 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The increase in costs is partially attributable to shared based compensation which was granted in November of 2009 resulting in two months of expense. If you remove the shared base compensation the percentage of sales for Power Distribution and Energy Service in 2010 are 11% and 32%, respectively. The increase in payroll related costs and other costs for the Power Distribution is attributable to the full year effect of Grove Power of $150,000 and the New York office of $350,000. Some of this full year effect was due to the addition of sales personnel in both locations. The increase in the Energy Service payroll related costs and other costs was primarily due to the increase in support staff and incentive programs which were approximately $210,000 at TES, and the full year effect of Grove Power of $137,000. We also increased the number of service technicians which increases consumables, small tools and vehicle maintenance.

General and Administrative Expenses




The general and administrative expense category reflects the cost of each subsidiary’s management, accounting, facilities and office functions which we can allocate to our segments. General and administrative expenses were $1,272,344 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $949,934 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The major cause for the increase in costs is attributable to the full year effect for Grove Power and the New York office which added $267,000 to our General and Administration costs. The remainder of the increase is attributable to the Stanza acquisition.
  Research and Development
  We entered into a contract in June 2010 with a third party to enhance our monitoring system to be able to provide better information to our customers on the condition and operations of their onsite power generation equipment.  This program is designed to assist us in entering the demand response market, which is part of our business strategy. The expense for this research and development the year ended December 31, 2010 was $353,562. The company that was developing this software package was acquired by us on November 1, 2010. It is estimated that the total cost of this software package will be approximately $600,000 including approximately $100,000 of equipment. Management believes that the acquisition of Stanza provides the Company with quality monitoring technology what will enhance our ability to service our customers as well as give us a significant competitive edge in our marketplace.  We are currently engaged in some testing of the system and  believe that by the end of April the technology’s feasibility and reliability will be established and ready for  launch  in the summer of 2011. There were no research and development expenses for the same period in the prior year.




Corporate Overhead





Included in corporate overhead expenses are the salaries and travel expenses of our officers, legal fees, audit fees, investor relations and other costs associated with being a SEC registrant. Corporate overhead for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $1,746,194, as compared to $1,351,506 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The costs associated with stock or stock options as a form of payment to our executive and some of our legal and investor relations professionals accounted for most of the increase over 2010. These costs are non-cash charges and are based on actual stock price at the time of payment or through the Black-Scholes calculations. Our payroll was lower as the full year effect of an eliminated senior executive in the fall of 2009 partially offset by the addition of a Vice President for Business Development. The high increase in business travel in 2010 is associated with our fund raising activities and additional travel due to our acquired busiensses in New York and Miami, Florida.


Depreciation and Amortization





The amounts in this category include depreciation on our fixed assets and amortization of our intangibles, represented by our customer lists. The expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $250,362 compared to $170,425 in the year ended December 31, 2009. The higher costs are due to the full year effect of the acquisition of GPI and our new sales office in New Jersey. We will have higher levels depreciation and amortization in 2011, as the result of our acquisition of Stanza. Stanza will add approximately $80,000 to our depreciation and amortization expense.

The higher interest expense is related to the higher debt level in 2010. The Company had two offerings of convertible debt totaling $2,110,000 with an interest rate of 10%. Our weighted average interest rate at the end of the year for 2010 was 9.1% compared to 2009 of 7.5%. At December 31, 2010 the principal balance of our debt outstanding was $3.4 million compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2009. Our convertible debt has warrants and beneficial conversion features which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470, whereas we must determine the fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature and treat that amount as a debt discount to be amortized over the life of the debt. At December 31, 2010 there is unamortized discount totaling approximately $879,000 on our balance sheet that will be expense in 2011. Although this is a large expense it is important to note that it does not impact our cash flow. Our second offering of convertible debt of $1,650,000 the detachable warrants to these notes were determined to be a liability and must be premeasured at each reporting period because our stock price has declined, we have a gain of $90,667. The deferred financing costs represent fees and commissions paid to brokers or individuals that helped us raise debt or equity. The fees are amortized over the life of the debt.


Discontinued Operations





In 2009, Management decided to discontinue the primary business of TEDI subsidiary which was the manufacturing and marketing a specialized mobile utility system.  This was based on Management's assessment that the market for this type of product had greatly diminished due to changes in the economy and decreased funding from FEMA type programs as well as the unavailability of company resources that would be required to market this product. Also in 2009, we were served with a lawsuit that alleged Titan Energy had violated a confidentiality agreement with another manufacturer for this mobile utility units. We have reached a settlement with the manufacturer.   The terms of the settlement include that we have given the manufacturer certain inventory, fixed assets and intellectual property related solely to our mobile response unit, and 200,000 shares of Company common stock that will be restricted for one year.  We have recorded the loss of $187,213 based on the recorded value of the assets and the fair market value of the common stock at settlement date. In addition, we had an impairment of our intangibles, including our customer list and goodwill related to this business and recorded a non-cash charge of $1,146,087.  For the year ended December 31, 2009, the revenue and net loss of TEDI was $19,825 and $193,505, respectively.


31


Liquidity and Capital Resources





The Company incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $3,674,120. At December 31, 2010 we have an accumulated deficit of $29,929,726. In addition, we are currently in default on notes payable of $327,982 of principal. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.





During the year ended December 31, 2010, cash used by continuing operations was $665,009. We used cash for investing activities of $335,809, primarily for acquisition of Stanza and our New Jersey sales office. Cash provided by financing activities was $1,921,833 primarily though our convertible debt offering.




Major cash out flow relates to our research and development activities in which we provided cash to Stanza of $571,000 as this business has only one contract that provides approximately $30,000. We have also assumed a tax liability for back payroll taxes of  $311,000   including interest and penalties. We have reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service to pay $4,011 a month to settle this liability. Our research and development costs were averaging about $60,000 a month since November 2010, but as of March 31, 2011, we have cut research and development expenditures to less than $30,000 until the first phase of our remote monitoring and control technology is completed by June 2011. Another major cash out flow this year relates to our effort to properly fund the Company. In fund raising activities we have incurred approximately $200,000 in fees paid to financial advisors for raising the $2 million and about $150,000 in travel compared to approximately $70,000 in 2009.
 We recognize many non-cash charges in our income statement. Management believes that a non-GAAP measure is a better indicator of our liquidity position.Management believes that it can be cash positive by 2012 based on the formula ofusing cash flow from operations adjusted for changes in operating assets and liabilities and adding back interest expense. For the year ended December 31, 2010, using continuing operations this formula produces net cash out flow of $1,402,654 compared to the net cash out flow for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $649,891. This decline is primarily attributable to our research and development and our financing activities. The following table shows the computation of EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measurer for years ended December 31:

 The Company is continuing to seek to raise additional capital. It is currently in discussions on a new credit line in order to provide support to our growing accounts receivable resulting from higher sales growth. We are seeking a capital infusion to pay off the notes that are in default and to payoff other payables that are due. The Company has reduced cash out flow by reducing corporate overhead and reducing our research and development activities.




At December 31, 2010, we had $968,416 in cash and short-term investments. The Company will need to raise additional funds and reduce its cash related expenses during the year to have sufficient cash it operate the business.

Critical accounting policies and use of 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 GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obscelecence,  purchase price allocations related to business combinations, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, amortization methods and periods, certain accrued expenses and other related charges, stock-based compensation, contingent liabilities, tax reserves and recoverability of our net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. Any differences may have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.


32


We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained in  this Annual Report on Form 10-K, The following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.





Revenue Recognition





The Company recognizes revenue when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, including factors such as when there has been evidence of sales arrangement, delivery has occurred, or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For equipment sales, the Company recognizes revenue when the equipment has been delivered to the customer and the customer has taken title and risk of the equipment. For service and parts sales, the Company recognizes revenue when the parts have been installed and over the period in which the services are performed. The Company in some circumstances will require customers to make a down payment which is included in customer deposits and the revenue is deferred until work has been completed. The Company also has long-term maintenance agreements that the customer may elect to pay in advance. The revenue recognition on these contracts are based on the work performed.





Intangible Assets





The Company evaluates intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.





Goodwill





In accordance with ASC 350, we test goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. We have determined that the reporting unit level is the entity level as discrete financial information is not available at a lower level and our chief operating decision maker, which is our chief executive officer and executive management team, collectively, make business decisions based on the evaluation of financial information at the entity level. Events that would indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, current economic and market conditions, including a decline in market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors, business climate or operational performance of the business, and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Our annual impairment test date is December 31.





In performing the test, we utilize the two-step approach prescribed under ASC 350. The first step requires a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting units, as defined, to the fair value of these units. We consider a number of factors to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. The valuation is based upon expected future discounted operating cash flows of the reporting unit. We base the discount rate used to arrive at a present value as the date of the impairment test on our weighted average cost of capital. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we will perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying value.





We conducted our annual impairment test as of December 31, 2010. In order to complete the annual impairment test, we performed detailed analyses estimating the fair value of our reporting unit utilizing our forecast for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 with updated long-term growth assumptions. As a result of completing the first step, the fair value exceeded the carrying value, and as such the second step of the impairment test was not required.





Income Taxes





The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax positions.


33


Effective January 1, 2009 the Company adopted guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and applies to all federal or state income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement.As of December 31, 2010 there were no amounts that had been accrued in respect to uncertain tax positions.





None of the Company’s federal or state income tax returns is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or state authorities.  However fiscal years 2007 and later remain subject to examination by the IRS and respective states.





Loss per Share





The basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The loss for common shareholders is increased for any preferred dividends. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had potentially dilutive shares related to outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities that were not included in the calculation of loss per share, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. See Note 1for the details of impact of potentially dilutive securities.





Share-Based Compensation





The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for share-based payments. Accordingly, the Company’s recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those rewards.  Options or share awards issued to non-employees are valued using the fair value method and expensed over the period services are provided.




New Accounting Standards and Updates Not Yet Effective





The following are new accounting standards and interpretations that may be applicable in the future to the Company.





In October 2009the FASB issued an update to its revenue recognition standards that (1) removes the objective-and-reliable-evidence-of-fair-value criterion from the separation criteria used to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting, (2) replaces references to “fair value” with “selling price” to distinguish from other fair value measurement guidance,(3) provides a hierarchy that entities must use to estimate the selling price, (4) eliminates the use of the residual method for allocation, and (5) expands the ongoing disclosure requirements. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this update will have, if any, on the Company’s financial position and results of operations when it becomes effective in 2011.





In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 requires details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and the gross presentation of activity within the Level 3 fair value measurement roll forward. The new disclosures are required of all entities that are required to provide disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2010-06 effective January 1, 2010, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 fair value measurement roll forward which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim reporting periods within those years.





Business Combinations.In December 2010, the FASB issued a new standard addressing the disclosure of supplemental pro forma information for business combinations that occur during the current year.  The new standard requires public entities that present comparative financial statements to disclose the revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual reporting period.  The standard is effective for us as of January 1, 2011 and we do not expect it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements


34


Other Accounting Standards Updates not effective until after December 31, 2010 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM





BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS


TITAN ENERGY WORLDWIDE, INC.





We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Titan Energy Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements 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 consolidated financial statements 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 audit 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 Company's 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 consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 Titan Energy Worldwide, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.





The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses and accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans as to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TITAN ENERGY WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





Background





Titan Energy Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 28, 2006 in the state of Nevada. On August 10, 2007, the Company changed its trading symbol to “TEWI.OB,” and is currently trading on the OTCBB.





On December 28, 2006, the Company acquired Stellar Energy Services, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Stellar”), whereby Stellar exchanged all its common shares for 750,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s preferred stock, plus a Note payable to Stellar shareholders of $823,000. The Stellar shareholders also received 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Stellar provides products and services to protect an industry’s critical equipment from power outages, over/under voltage or transient surges and harmonic distortion Stellar is doing business as Titan Energy Systems, Inc (“TES”).





On June 11, 2009, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Grover Power, Inc., a Florida corporation (“GPI”), acquired certain assets and assumed liabilities of R.B. Grove, Inc. Industrial and Service Divisions. The purchase was effective June 1, 2009. The purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $214,827 and an $86,612 secured promissory note at 8% interest rate due November 11, 2010. The seller also received five year warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company common stock at a price of $0.01 per share. The Company determined the fair value of these warrants to be $32,000.





On November 1, 2009, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed liabilities for a sales office in New Jersey. This business had open orders at date of acquisition of approximately $3,000,000. The Company agreed to pay the owner $150,000. This sales office has been consolidated with the Titan Energy Services operations.





On January 1, 2010, the Company acquired the stock of Sustainable Solutions, Inc., (“SSI”) a company that performs energy audits, consulting and management services. The purchase price for this business was a stock option to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.50 per share. We used the Black-Scholes method to value the stock option for this acquisition at $71,671. The asset of the business is a contract with a major utility company to perform energy assessments for the three year period from 2010 to 2012.





On November 1, 2010, the Company acquired the assets of Stanza Systems, Inc. (“Stanza”), a software development company specializing in smart-grid applications. The purchase price for this company consisted of $175,000 cash and assumed liabilities of $481,190. In addition, to complete this acquisition the Company had to satisfy the senior debt holders by offering common shares of the Company. The Company’s offered these debt holders 413,333 shares of common stock which was valued at the closing price of our stock as of November 1, 2010 resulting in a value of $186,000. In addition these debt holders have an opportunity to receive additional shares if Stanza achieves certain revenue levels. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the value of the contingent payment at $117, 898 (see Note 2 for asset allocation).





At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has no Preferred Stock Series A, B and C outstanding. The description of these securities is as follows:





Preferred Stock, Series A, authorized 10,000,000, $.0001 par value


Preferred Stock, Series B, authorized 10,000,000, $.0001 par value


Preferred Stock, Series C, authorized 10,000,000, $.0001 par value





Following is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies.





Principles of Consolidation





The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries, TES, GPI, SSI and Stanza. The Company had operations making mobile emergency units, Titan Energy Development, Inc. which was closed in September 2009. This business has been treated as a discontinued business.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)





Reclassifications





In 2010, the Company’s presentation of the Statement of Operations has been changed to reflect the shared-based compensation expense and payments into the line items for sales and service expense, research and development, general and administrative and corporate overhead





Basis of Presentation





The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).





Going Concern





The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $3,674,120. At December 31, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $29,929,726.   In addition, the Company is in default on $327,982 of various notes and is in violation of its loan covenants.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management has taken the following steps that it believes will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue its operations:





·
Management plans to raise additional capital in 2011 through debt or equity offerings.


·
The Company has instituted cost saving actions to reduce corporate overhead and research and development.


·
The Company has discontinued the operations of one of its subsidiaries, Titan Energy Development, Inc.





Supplemental Cash Flow Information Regarding Non-Cash Transactions





During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has entered into several non-cash transactions in order to provide financing for the Company in order to conserve cash. The table below shows the transactions that occurred during the past two years.

Use of Estimates





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


F-8





TITAN ENERGY WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)





Revenue Recognition





The Company recognizes revenue when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, including factors such as when there has been evidence of sales arrangement, delivery has occurred, or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. For equipment sales, the Company recognizes revenue when the equipment has been delivered to the customer and the customer has taken title and risk of the equipment. For service and parts sales, the Company recognizes revenue when the parts have been installed and over the period in which the services are performed. The Company in some circumstances will require customers to make a down payment which is included in customer deposits and the revenue is deferred until work has been completed. The Company also has long-term maintenance agreements that the customer may elect to pay in advance. The revenue recognition on these contracts are based on the work performed.





Cash Equivalents





For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.





Concentration of Credit Risk





Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in well-known banks selected based upon management’s assessment of the bank’s financial stability. Balances may periodically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit which is currently $250,000.





Property and Equipment





Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the original estimated economic useful lives of the applicable assets are capitalized. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Intangible Assets





The Company evaluates intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles  that represent  customer lists, distribution list and contracts. These intangible have finite lives and therefore are required to be amortized to expense. The Company believes that the useful life of these intangibles range from 5-10 years. The accumulated amortization at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $401,422 and $240,858, respectively. The Company expects amortization expense for the next five years as follows: 2011-$163,133; 2012-$163,133; 2013-$143,133; 2014-$131,633; 2015-$95,714.


F-9





TITAN ENERGY WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)





Goodwill





In accordance with ASC 350, we test goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. We have determined that the reporting unit level is the entity level as discrete financial information is not available at a lower level and our chief operating decision maker, which is our chief executive officer and executive management team, collectively, make business decisions based on the evaluation of financial information at the entity level. Events that would indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, current economic and market conditions, including a decline in market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors, business climate or operational performance of the business, and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Our annual impairment test date is December 31.





In performing the test, we utilize the two-step approach prescribed under ASC 350. The first step requires a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting units, as defined, to the fair value of these units. We consider a number of factors to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. The valuation is based upon expected future discounted operating cash flows of the reporting unit. We base the discount rate used to arrive at a present value as the date of the impairment test on our weighted average cost of capital. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we will perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying value.





We conducted our annual impairment test as of December 31, 2010. In order to complete the annual impairment test, we performed detailed analyses estimating the fair value of our reporting unit utilizing our forecast for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 with updated long-term growth assumptions. As a result of completing the first step, the fair value exceeded the carrying value, and as such the second step of the impairment test was not required.





In 2009, our test did disclose that the goodwill related to Titan Energy Development, Inc was fully impaired and was charged to expense. The impairment was caused by our decision to not litigate a claim and to turn the business unit over to the plaintiff (see note 15 for further explanation)





The changes in the carrying value of Goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)





Income Taxes





The Company accounts for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and applies to all federal or state income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement.As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 there were no amounts that had been accrued in respect to uncertain tax positions.





None of the Company’s federal or state income tax returns is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or state authorities.  However, fiscal years 2007 and later remain subject to examination by the IRS and respective states.





Loss per Share





The basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The loss for common shareholders is increased for any preferred dividends.As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had potentially dilutive shares related to outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities that were not included in the calculation of loss per share, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the following table sets forth potentially dilutive shares:

32,583,876





The above table uses the December 31, 2010 and 2009 average closing stock price to determine securities that may be dilutive. The average stock prices for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $0.54 and $0.17, respectively. The Series D Preferred Stock can be converted by dividing the amount invested by the 20 days VWAP price. The 8% convertible notes can be converted by taking the principal and accrued interest and dividing by the average closing bid price for five days before conversion date. In addition, upon conversion the note holder receives ten stock warrants for every $1000 of principal with an exercise price of $.01. The 10% convertible notes may be converted by multiplying the  principal and accrued interest by four, in addition these notes have warrants equal to 2 stock warrants for every $1,000 of principal with an exercise price of $.25. The stock warrants and vested stock options are those securities that are in-the-money at December 31. We use the treasury method to compute the shares that would be issued.





Share-Based Compensation





The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for share-based payments. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those rewards.  Options or share awards issued to non-employees are valued using the fair value method and expensed over the period services are provided.

Supplier concentration
 
 The Company has an exclusive distribution agreement with one supplier that comprised 33% and 46% of its total purchases for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The loss of this exclusive distribution agreement could cause a delay and loss of sales which would affect the operating results adversely. Although there are other vendors from which the Company could make these purchases, management believes that they may not be on the same terms and conditions as our current agreement.




Segment Reporting





The Company operates in a two business segments, Power Distribution and Energy Services. Power Distribution consists of the sale of emergency, standby power equipment and renewable energy solutions. Energy Services consist of the sale of maintenance and service programs, interruptible rate, demand response programs, monitoring program and energy audits. 2009 amounts have been restated to present the business as two reportable segments.




New Accounting Standards and Updates Not Yet Effective





The following are new accounting standards and interpretations that may be applicable in the future to the Company.





In October 2009the FASB issued an update to its revenue recognition standards that (1) removes the objective-and-reliable-evidence-of-fair-value criterion from the separation criteria used to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting, (2) replaces references to “fair value” with “selling price” to distinguish from other fair value measurement guidance,(3) provides a hierarchy that entities must use to estimate the selling price, (4) eliminates the use of the residual method for allocation, and (5) expands the ongoing disclosure requirements. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this update will have, if any, on the Company’s financial position and results of operations when it becomes effective in 2011.





In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 requires details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and the gross presentation of activity within the Level 3 fair value measurement roll forward. The new disclosures are required of all entities that are required to provide disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2010-06 effective January 1, 2010, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 fair value measurement roll forward which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim reporting periods within those years.





Business Combinations.In December 2010, the FASB issued a new standard addressing the disclosure of supplemental pro forma information for business combinations that occur during the current year.  The new standard requires public entities that present comparative financial statements to disclose the revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual reporting period.  The standard is effective for us as of January 1, 2011 and we do not expect it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements




Other Accounting Standards Updates not effective until after December 31, 2010 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.





NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS





On November 1, 2010, The Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Stanza Systems, Inc., a software development company. This transaction required the approval of Stanza Systems, Inc. senior debt holders. The senior debt holder agreed to exchange their debt and accrued interest for 413,333 shares in the Company plus a contingent payment in the Company’s common stock. The Company will operate this business under the assumed name of Stanza Technologies (“Stanza”). If Stanza’s sales for 2011 or 2012 is $3,000,000 the debt holders will receive $206,667 of value paid in the Company’s Common Stock. If Stanza’s sales are $5,000,000 then the debt holder will receive $413,334 of value paid in Company’s common stock. The Company has valued the contingent consideration under ASC 805 using a probability and discounted cash flow approach. The following table set forth the amounts assigned to the purchase price and the allocation to the assets.

The fair value of the customer list and the in–process research and development was based on a valuation analysis in accordance with ASC 805, the customer list was based on the income approach using a discounted cash flow for this asset adjusted for probability of renewal. The in-process research and development asset was determined by a relief from royalty approach, on a discounted cash flow basis. The Company also performed an income approach on a multi-period excess earnings discounted cash flow and adjusted for probability.   The two methods were averaged to determine the value of in-process research and development asset.  The goodwill is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes.





The sales and operating loss included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since the acquisition date of November 1, 2010 were $84,679 and $(140,123), respectively. The Company’s primary objective in this acquisition is to control the research and development of our state of the art monitoring system. Stanza’s prior business was not focused on research and development but only contract sales. Proforma financial information has not been presented as the impact would not be materially different from reported amounts. The Company has spent approximately $350,000 in 2010 and estimate that the total cost to complete of this project will be an additional $235,000.





On January 1, 2010, the Company also purchased the stock of Sustainable Solutions, Inc. This company is engaged in the energy audits, energy consulting and energy management services. The purchase price was 200,000 stock options of TEWI common stock with strike price of $0.50. We used the Black-Scholes method to value this option resulting in a purchase price of $71,761. The only asset this company had was a contract with a major utility to perform audits from 2010 to 2012. We used a discounted cash flow based on estimated audits to be performed to value the contract at $60,000. We will amortize this contract over three years. The sales and operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $36,150 and $(14,063), respectively. Proforma financial data is not provided since the impact would not be materially different from reported amounts.

If they elect this option they will also receive ten stock warrants for every $1000 of principal with a strike price of $0.01.   In addition we are in default on three other notes totaling $153,466 of which $43,000 was paid in January 2011. The Company is actively raising capital to resolve these issues and discussing options with the debt holders.





The convertible notes payable due in May to November, 2011 were issued with 1,650,000 detachable warrants to purchase Company’s common stock at $0.60 per share. The proceeds received from these notes were allocated to the convertible notes payable and the warrants’ totaling of $1,267,941 and $382,059 respectively based on their relative fair values.  These notes are convertible at maturity based on the current share price, with a minimum price of $0.30 per share, or if the Company does an equity raise in excess of $5,000,000, the notes can be converted to the new offering. The warrants have a round down provision and, as such, the warrants’ fair value is determined at each reporting period and any gain or loss is recognized through the income statement. The Company has recorded a beneficial conversion feature on these notes in the amount of $681,203 which is treated as a debt discount.




The convertible notes payable due in November to March of 2012 were issued with 1,120,000 detachable warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $.25 per share.  The proceeds received from these notes were allocated to the promissory note and the warrants based on their relative fair values of $301,418 and $258,582, respectively, with the warrants’ fair value being determined using the Black-Scholes method.  The value allocated to the warrants was recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the promissory notes.  The note holders will have the option of converting their notes into common stock based on the principal balance plus accrued interest multiplied by four. This beneficial conversion feature has intrinsic value of $297,430, is recorded as a discount on the debt, and will be amortized to expense over the life of the debt.  In 2010, notes totaling $100,000 plus accrued interest of $5,761 were converted into 579,964 shares of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 8 - SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK





On October 3, 2007, the Company issued a private placement memorandum to sell up to $10,000,000 of Units consisting of one share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, one Class A warrant and one Class B warrant. Each Unit was offered at $10,000. The holder of the Convertible Preferred Stock may convert, at any time and is required to convert their preferred stock 24 months after issuance, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock. Assuming an initial conversion price of $1.00, each one (1) share of Preferred Stock is convertible into 10,000 shares of Common Stock. Each Class a Warrant and Class B Warrant entitles the holder to purchase three thousand three hundred and thirty-three (3,333) shares of Common Stock with exercise prices of $1.20 and $1.40, respectively.





In the year ended December 31, 2010, investors holding the Series D Preferred Stock elected to convert their holdings into Common Stock using the Volume Weighted Average Price “VWAP” formula as provided for in the offering documents. A total of 426 shares of Series D Preferred Stock elected to convert into common stock receiving an aggregate of 6,802,044 shares of common stock. The weighted average conversion price per share was $0.55. In addition, the Class A and Class B warrants were repriced based on conversion price times 120% and 140%, respectively.





In an Event of Liquidation (as defined below) of the Company, holders of any then-unconverted shares of Preferred Stock will be entitled to immediately receive accelerated redemption rights in the form of a Liquidation Preference Amount. The Liquidation Preference Amount shall be equal to 125% of the sum of: (i) the Stated Value ($10,000) of any then-unconverted shares of Preferred Stock and (ii) any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. An “Event of Liquidation” shall mean any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, as well as any change of control of the Company which shall include, for the purposes hereof, sale by the Company of either (x) substantially all of its assets or (y) that portion of its assets which comprises its core business technology, products or services.





NOTE 9 – TREASURY SHARES





On June 30, 2009, the Company offered to the common shareholders that were converted in the Series D Convertible Preferred stock offering the opportunity to exchange the common shares received into units of Series D Preferred Stock. A total of 2,740,000 shares of common stock were repurchased for 137 Units of Series D Preferred Stock and 456,621 of detachable Class A Warrants and 456,621 of detachable Class B Warrants. This transaction has been accounted for using the Black–Scholes method to determine the value of the detachable warrants. This method resulted in a cost of the treasury shares of $1,370,000, which is the sum of the value of the Series D Preferred Stock of $1,285,553, and the fair value of the warrants of $84,467.





During the year ended December 31, 2010, 52 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were converted in exchange for 1,040,000 treasury shares.




NOTE 10 – STOCK OPTIONS





The Company issued stock options to employees, consultants and to a note holder in settlement of an outstanding note during 2009 and 2010. These options were not issued under any plan that required stockholder approval. The Company believes that such stock options align the interest of its employees with the shareholders. Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company common stock at date of grant.  Options granted to consultants have a five year contractual term. The option granted to employees have from a three year contractual term to no expiration date, however we would except that all options will be exercised within 10 years. All options issued are non-qualified options. There are two options totaling 1,500,000 shares that are guaranteeing a minimum value of $0.25 a share and which represent the fair value and are recorded as accrued liability. For all other options the Company uses the Black-Scholes method to evaluate the options. The excepted volatility is computed based on a twelve month standard deviation of our month ended closing price. The risk free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at time of grant. Below are the parameters in determining the fair value of these options.

NOTE 13 – OPERATING LEASES





The Company leases office space, vehicles, equipment and warehouses. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $439,635 and $226,425.

NOTE 14 – FAIR VALUE





GAAP provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. GAAP also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. The fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy.   The Company adopted the provisions of fair value measurements as of January 1, 2009. Hierarchical levels are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:





Level 1 — Inputs were unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.


Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) were either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.


Level 3 — Inputs reflected management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration was given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.





Determining which hierarchical level an asset or liability falls within requires significant judgment.  The Company will evaluate its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.  The following table summarizes the financial instruments measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010:

NOTE 16 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS





In 2009, Management decided to discontinue the primary business of TEDI subsidiary which was the manufacturing and marketing of a specialized mobile utility system.  This was based on Management's assessment that the market for this type of product had greatly diminished due to changes in the economy and decreased funding from FEMA type of programs as well as the unavailability of Company resources that would be required to market this product.  The Company reached a settlement with ERBUS, Inc. on a complaint that alleged that the Company violated a confidentiality agreement with ERBUS and used unspecified and allegedly confidential, proprietary and trade secret information related to a mobile emergency response unit that ERBUS had been trying to develop. The terms of the settlement include that the Company will give ERBUS certain inventory, fixed assets and intellectual property, and 200,000 shares of common stock. The settlement is in no way an admission of guilt or wrongdoing by the Company; the Company chose to settle rather than incur the costs of litigation. The Company’s subsidiary TEDI was dedicated to producing the product that was the subject of this dispute. Based on this settlement and the Company’s decision to no longer be involved in this business, the Company has decided to discontinue the operations of TEDI.  The Company has recorded the loss on the settlement based on the recorded value of the assets and the fair market value of the common stock to be approximately $187,213 at December 31, 2009. The settlement agreement was effective as of November 1, 2009.





The Company had reviewed the customer list and goodwill at September 30, 2009 related to the TEDI subsidiary. The Company tests for impairment whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of these assets below its carrying value. The Company has agreed to a non-compete clause for five years and therefore there is no foreseeable cash flow to justify the fair value of these assets. The Company has taken a non-cash impairment charge on intangible assets of $1,146,087 at September 30, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2009 the revenue and net loss from the operations of TEDI was $19,825 and $193,505, respectively.  All assets and liabilities have been written down to fair value and any remaining amounts are immaterial.





NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT - COMMON STOCK





In accordance with our Preferred Series D stock after 24 months a holder could elect to convert it stock to common shares based on the lesser of (i) $1.00 or (ii) a price per share equal to the volume weighted average closing price for the twenty trading days prior to a conversion. As of April 5, 2011 total of 433 Preferred Series D shares have been converted into 7,054,664 common shares.





The Company has performed a review of events subsequent to the balance sheet date and, except for the matters described above in this note, no other matters require disclosure.

ITEM 9A: Controls and Procedures





Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures





Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2010 have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.





Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.





(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting




Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:




•
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;





•
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and





•
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.




Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.





Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO criteria.





Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was effective at a reasonable assurance level based on these criteria.





This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to  rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.





(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting





No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting have occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

However, Mr. Macaylo’s award was determined based on his option to have the Company purchase his stock option for $0.25 per share by January 1, 2012. See Note 10 – Stock Option for information as to the input values for the Black-Scholes computation.
