We began shipping our line of Array LED replacement lamps in December 2008 and continued the launch in 2009.
Since its introduction, sales of our Array LED replacement lamps have grown significantly. Revenue from the Array line increased 32% to approximately $1,808,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to approximately $1,366,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2009. We market our Array products to end-users through our network of independent sales representatives and distributors, as well as to energy savings companies and national accounts. The initial Array product line
included R30, R16, MR16, GU10 and G4 lamps. In 2009, we expanded the product line to include a 230 volt/50 megahertz R30 for use in certain international markets and 25o narrow optic versions for the R30 and R16/MR16 lamps. In 2010, we upgraded
the design of our R30 lamp and introduced a new PAR38 lamp. Four of our Array lamps were among the first lamps to be certified under the Energy Star program which began accepting applications for lamps in September 2010. We intend to continue making
investments to expand the Array product offering and grow our market share.

On October 28, 2010, we sold substantially all of the assets
of our legacy commercial/architectural lighting and pool and spa lighting businesses (the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses) for a purchase price of approximately $2.3 million, with approximately $1.3 million accounting for
the purchase of inventory. Of the total consideration, we received $1.0 million in cash in connection with closing which included $750,000 of non-refundable deposits previously paid by the buyer. Subject to the terms of the purchase agreement and a
secured promissory note, the buyer was obligated to pay the remaining approximately $1.3 million over the seven month period ending May 28, 2011 as the buyer sold the purchased inventory, with 50% of the agreed upon value of the inventory paid
no later than February 28, 2011 and the balance paid no later than May 28, 2011. As of March 4, 2011, the $1.3 million balance of the purchase price was paid in full. Our Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses consisted of the
manufacture, marketing and sale of LED and fiber optic lighting products used for applications in commercial, architectural and pool and spa markets, excluding our Array business and the business of Lumificient. The divestiture of these businesses
fits with our strategic plans to focus our resources on our Array replacement lamp and Lumificient businesses, where we see more significant long term growth potential. The financial condition and results of operations of the Legacy Commercial and
Pool Lighting Businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

As a result of the sale of our Legacy
Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses in October 2010, we reorganized our reporting structure into two reportable segments: LED replacement lamps and LED signage and lighting strips. Our operations are principally managed on a product basis. The
Array product line consists of white light LED replacement lamps. The Lumificient product line consists of LED signage and lighting strips. See Note 14 of our notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information relating to our
reportable operating segments for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

All references in this report to Nexxus,
Nexxus Lighting, we, us, our company or our refer to Nexxus Lighting, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiary, except where it is clear that such terms mean only Nexxus Lighting, Inc. or our
subsidiary, Lumificient Corporation.

The Lighting Industry

According to the Freedonia Group, the global lighting industry is divided between two major product categories, fixtures and light bulbs (also referred to as lamps in the lighting industry). The fixtures
category includes all apparatuses, fixtures and systems, while light bulbs consist of the replaceable devices that emit light. Traditional light bulbs include incandescent, fluorescent and high intensity discharge (HID) products. For
residential applications within the general illumination market, inexpensive incandescent bulbs and fixtures have been the preferred choice. For commercial applications, we believe more expensive and durable fluorescent and HID bulbs and fixtures
have the largest market share.

With rapid advancements in the performance, efficiency and cost of energy-efficient lighting, including
LED-based solutions, traditional light sources, such as incandescent lamps, are beginning to be replaced by advanced technologies with lower operating costs over their useful lives. In addition, the energy efficient nature of LED technology makes it
an environmentally friendly light source and the compact size of LEDs has created new possibilities in lighting fixture and lamp design. Product selection is influenced by a number of factors, including overall cost, energy efficiency, product life,
lumen output and other product features, as well as regulatory and environmental factors. We believe our unique advanced lighting solutions are well positioned to increasingly displace traditional lighting in each of our targeted markets.

In North America, lighting manufacturers sell products through manufacturers representatives,
electrical supply representatives or an internal sales force to electrical wholesale distributors. The distributors then market products to electrical contractors and other end-users. Representatives also have direct contact with lighting
designers, electrical engineers, architects and general contractors that influence buying decisions. The manufacturers representatives often provide value added services, such as product promotion or design and implementation assistance. The
ability of smaller companies to compete against larger more established rivals is heavily rooted in their capacity to leverage their unique product portfolios and customer service to garner maximum productivity from each representative.

Historically, large global competitors focused almost exclusively on the general illumination market because of their advantage in purchasing power,
manufacturing volume and distribution efficiency, while smaller industry participants generally competed in niche markets primarily by offering specialized products and superior customer service to their regions. However, the evolution of advanced
lighting solutions has enabled smaller companies to penetrate and compete in the larger general illumination market. One of these notable advanced lighting solutions is LED lighting.

LED Lighting Industry Trends

LEDs are semiconductor-based devices that generate light. As
the cost of LEDs decreases and their performance improves, we expect that they will continue to compete more effectively in the general illumination market versus traditional lighting. According to Strategies Unlimited, there were approximately $300
million of high-brightness LEDs sold to the lighting market in 2008, a figure which is forecasted to grow to $1.1 billion by 2012. High-brightness LEDs are the core, light producing components within an LED lighting system. We believe the LED
lighting industry is experiencing the following trends:

Technological Innovations Expand LED Functionality. Since its introduction in
the 1960s, the LED has offered an increasingly wide variety of colored lighting, beginning with red and expanding to green, yellow and orange. Initial rudimentary applications included traffic lights, automotive brake lights and indicator lights. In
the mid-1990s, LEDs became capable of emitting blue light. With the advent of blue LEDs combined with phosphor technology, LEDs made another technological leap by emitting white light. This breakthrough enabled LEDs to compete with traditional
lighting solutions for applications in residential, industrial and commercial markets.

Advancements in LEDs Performance Stimulate
Adoption in General Lighting. Technological advancements in LED lighting have resulted in a new breed of LEDs that can meet specifications previously only satisfied by traditional lighting sources. LED lighting solutions were historically
regarded as expensive in relation to their delivered light output, a perception that has changed as LED technology has advanced according to Haitzs Law. Haitzs Law, the LED counterpart to Moores Law of semiconductors, states that
every decade, the amount of light generated by an LED increases by a factor of 20, while the cost per lumen falls by a factor of 10.

In an
effort to lower energy consumption, lighting companies are focused on increasing lumens per watt. Lumens per watt is an industry standard measure of the amount of light emitted per watt of power, meaning the more lumens per watt, the more energy
efficient the product. Traditional incandescent lighting sources can produce between 10 and 35 lumens per watt, while fluorescent and HID light sources can produce output exceeding 100 lumens per watt. Todays LEDs are currently exceeding
incandescent performance and are approaching over 100 lumens per watt at the LED level, making them comparable to fluorescent and HID light sources.

High Energy Costs and Conservation Efforts Drive LED Adoption. According to Strategies Unlimited, 22% of all energy consumption in the United States is from lighting applications. High energy costs
have resulted in increased demand for more energy efficient lighting solutions, which has inspired a natural shift to LEDs. LED lighting technology is inherently more energy efficient and can result in more than 80% power savings over traditional
incandescent solutions. In addition, unlike other alternatives such as compact fluorescent bulbs, LED lighting solutions are free of hazardous materials such as mercury, which can be harmful to the environment.

Regulatory Influences Spur Market Adoption of Energy Efficient LED Lighting. Government regulations, such as initiatives by the United States
Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agencys Energy Star Certification Program, are driving adoption of more energy efficient lighting solutions. Energy Star sets industry-wide international standards for lighting products
that outline efficiency and performance criteria, helping manufacturers promote their products and consumers better understand lighting products. Legislation and the trend toward environmental consciousness are critical drivers of lighting demand,
as governments, industry associations, and industrial and residential consumers move toward employing lighting solutions that comply with regulatory requirements, conserve energy and present no threat to the environment when disposed.

Utility Companies Are Rewarding Conservation Efforts. Demand on the existing power grid in the United
States continues to rise. Coupled with this rising demand for energy, utility companies face many challenges to generate more power, including high investment costs to expand capacity or construct new facilities, costly and time-consuming regulatory
approval processes, community and environmental protests, and extended construction periods. As a result, many utility companies are seeking ways to curb demand rather than expand capacity. One alternative is to reward customers conservation
efforts with rebates or utility credits.

Unique Capabilities of LEDs Broaden Applications and Create New Lighting Alternatives. Key
LED features, including quality of light output, long life, low power consumption, low heat output and full digital control are accelerating adoption and expanding market opportunities. Additional attributes, including design flexibility, dimming
capabilities, smaller size and rapid start-up time are creating new lighting applications for LEDs in commercial, retail, hospitality, entertainment and consumer markets.

Our Competitive Advantages

We believe the following strengths of our company provide us
with competitive advantages in the marketplace:

Industry Leading, Energy Efficient and Environmentally Conscious Lighting Solutions.Our product offerings include our Array brand of LED light bulbs, which we believe to be one of the highest efficacy LED lighting systems in the industry. Based upon our review of publicly available performance data from competitors, our Array
product can provide over 20% more lumens per watt than competitive products, and as much as 80% energy savings versus incandescent lamps. We have designed our Array product line to be Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant, to contain
no mercury or lead and to utilize minimal metal content with a housing of recycled plastic. Four of our Array lamps were among the first lamps to be certified under the Energy Star program which began accepting applications in September 2010. We
expect that sales of our Array products will continue to grow and increase as a percentage of total revenues. We believe our Array products are significantly differentiated in terms of design and performance from competitive products.

Competition

We currently face competition from both traditional lighting companies that provide general lighting products, such as incandescent, fluorescent and neon
lighting, and from specialized lighting companies that are engaged in providing LED products. In general, we compete with both groups on the basis of design, innovation, quality of light, maintenance costs, safety issues, energy consumption, price,
product quality and brightness.

We compete with traditional lighting companies, including Acuity Brands Lighting, Inc., Cooper Lighting (a
division of Cooper Industries, Inc.), Hubbell Lighting, Inc. (a division of Hubbell Incorporated), Juno Lighting Group (a division of Schneider Electric SA), Osram Sylvania and Royal Philips Lighting (a division of Koninklijke Philips Electronics
N.V.) in the general illumination market. Our LED products tend to be alternatives to traditional lighting sources for applications within the commercial market. In these markets, we compete on the basis of energy savings, lamp life and durability.

We also compete with providers of LED replacement lamps and other energy efficient lighting products and fixtures. These companies include
traditional lighting companies such as Sylvania and Philips; specialized lighting companies such as Lighting Science Group Corporation; certain packaged LED suppliers such as Cree, which is primarily a manufacturer of LEDs; as well as multiple low
cost offshore providers. In the market for LED lighting products, we compete on the basis of design, innovation, light quality, maintenance costs, safety issues, energy consumption, price, product quality, Energy Star and UL certifications and
brightness.

We believe that we can compete favorably in our markets, based on the following factors:



| |  |  | unique and proprietary technology;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | breadth and diversity of high-quality product offerings;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Energy Star certification of certain products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ability to offer standard and custom products that meet customers needs at a competitive price;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | excellence in customer service and support; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, particularly engineers.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

We expect our markets to remain competitive and to reflect rapid technological evolution and continuously evolving customer and regulatory requirements. Our ability to remain competitive depends in part
upon our success in developing new and enhanced advanced lighting solutions and introducing these products at competitive prices on a timely basis.

Sales and Marketing

We believe our sales and marketing efforts have established our reputation for providing innovative solutions that meet our customers needs in a timely, cost-efficient manner. Our ability to
leverage our distribution network will be an important factor in our continued success. The sales and marketing of our products largely depends upon the type of offering, location and target market. We organize our sales approach by market, which
includes Array replacement lamps for commercial applications and Lumificient sign lighting. In addition to traditional sign lighting applications, we have expanded the marketing of our Lumificient products to other commercial applications such as
vending machines and display counters. We compensate our selling agents on a commission basis.

We market and sell our LED products through
our Array Lighting division and through our subsidiary, Lumificient. During 2010, we recruited a team of industry-experienced sales professionals dedicated to promoting and selling our Array brand of LED light bulbs through our network of lighting
agencies. These independent lighting agencies provide assistance in the lighting specification process, provide local customer and project management support and direct the customer to purchase products from us. Array replacement lamps also are sold
through independent energy savings companies which assist customers with improved energy usage. Lumificient products are sold primarily through independent local sign and lighting manufacturers and distributors, as well as select national accounts.

We believe that our management team has established and maintains strong relationships with senior management at the majority of the largest
wholesale electrical distributors and electrical buying groups in the United States. We expect these and other industry relationships to be a significant path to market as we introduce new products and scale our business.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

We
outsource a significant portion of the manufacture and assembly of our products, including all of the production of our Array brand of products. We currently depend on a small number of contract manufacturers to manufacture our products at plants in
the U.S., Mexico and China. These manufacturers supply raw materials (in some cases we procure and provide our contract manufacturers with certain components, such as LEDs) and provide necessary facilities and labor to manufacture our products.

We design and engineer our Array line of LED replacement lamps and purchase all of the finished units from a third-party manufacturer. The
Array lamps also use a custom LED package which we source from two vendors in Asia. Although we currently are dependent on these suppliers, we believe that, if necessary, alternative sources of supply could be found. However, any interruption or
delay at our third-party manufacturers or in the supply of the components, or our inability to obtain components from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Research and Product Development

The general focus of our research and development team is the design and integration of electronics, optics and thermal management solutions to create advanced lighting products. Through these efforts, we
seek to enhance our existing products, design new products and develop solutions for customer applications. We believe that our responsiveness to customer demands and our ability to achieve industry certifications such as Energy Star for certain
products differentiates us from many of our competitors, as we rapidly introduce new products to address market needs. During 2010, we spent approximately $944,000 on engineering and product development activities for continuing operations, as
compared to approximately $551,000 in 2009. We have expanded our research and development team as we believe that increased levels of spending on research and development will be necessary to successfully develop advanced lighting products that will
have the brightness of traditional lighting systems while being offered at acceptable prices.

Patents and Proprietary Rights

The proprietary nature of, and protection for, our products, product candidates, processes and know-how are important to our business. To
protect our intellectual property, both domestically and abroad, we rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, and confidentiality provisions to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We have
established and continue to build proprietary positions for our products and technology in the United States and abroad. We currently hold 33 patents related to our LED lighting intellectual property and have 29 patent applications currently filed
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or with the World Intellectual Property Organization. Included in these figures are 31 patents and 28 patent applications related to our Array brand of LED light bulbs. We believe our extensive
intellectual property portfolio provides us with considerable advantage relative to new entrants to the industry and smaller LED providers in serving sophisticated customers.

---

Although we expect that several of our patent applications will issue, we cannot be sure that patents will
be granted with respect to any of our pending patent applications or with respect to any patent applications filed by us in the future, nor can we be sure that any patents that may be granted to us in the future will be commercially useful in
protecting our technology. In addition, despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary.

Regulations, standards and conventions

Our products are generally required to meet the electrical codes of the jurisdictions in which they are sold. Meeting the typically more stringent codes
established in the United States and the European Union usually allows our products to meet the codes in other geographic regions.

Many of
our customers require our products to be listed by UL. UL is a United States independent, nationally recognized testing laboratory and certification organization. UL develops standards and test procedures for products, materials, components,
assemblies, tools and equipment, chiefly dealing with product safety. UL evaluates products, components, materials and systems for compliance to specific requirements, and permits acceptable products to carry a UL certification mark, as long as they
remain compliant with the standards. UL offers several categories of certification. Products that are UL Listed, are identified by the distinctive UL mark. We have undertaken to have certain of our products meet UL standards and be UL
listed. There are alternatives to UL certifications but customers and end-users tend to favor UL listing. Because LED lighting products are relatively new in the market, ULs specifications and standards for LED lighting products such as ours
are not well established and the prior established specifications and standards for traditional lighting products are sometimes difficult to achieve for LED lighting devices.

Many of our customers and end-users also expect our products to meet the applicable Energy Star requirements. Energy Star is a standard for energy efficient products. To qualify for Energy Star
certification, LED lighting products must pass a variety of tests to prove that the products have certain characteristics. Four of our Array lamps were among the first lamps to be certified under the Energy Star program which began accepting
applications for lamps in September 2010.

Royalties

In connection with our acquisition of Lumificient Corporation, in April 2008 we agreed to pay annual royalties to Zdenko Grajcar, the founder of Lumificient Corporation. Subject to, and upon, the terms
and conditions set forth in an agreement between us and Mr. Grajcar dated March 25, 2009, royalties are payable as follows: (i) 25% of royalties (as defined in such agreement) received by us from licensing certain intellectual
property specified in the agreement (the Array IP) and (ii) 2% of the revenue (as defined in the agreement) received by us from the sale of products incorporating the Array IP. The obligation to pay these royalties terminates after
calendar year 2014, or earlier as set forth in the agreement.

Employees

As of March 18, 2011, we had a total of 33 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee. We enjoy good employee relations. None of our employees are members of any labor union, and we are not a party
to any collective bargaining agreement.

Corporate Information

We were incorporated in Delaware on December 16, 1993. We are the successor by merger to a Florida corporation named Super Vision International, Inc., which was incorporated in January 1991. In April
2007, we changed our name from Super Vision International, Inc. to Nexxus Lighting, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 124 Floyd Smith Drive, Suite 300, Charlotte, North Carolina 28262. Our telephone number is (704) 405-0416
and our website is located at www.nexxuslighting.com.

|Item 1A. | Risk Factors.
|-------- | -------------

The following are some of
the factors that we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known
or currently deemed immaterial may also adversely affect our company.

We have a history of losses and may incur losses in the future.

We have experienced net losses of approximately $8,011,000 and $7,155,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. As of December 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $36,243,000. Although management addressed many of the issues and expenses associated with the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses with the sale of those
businesses in October 2010, we still face significant challenges in order to reach profitability, particularly in light of the challenging economic environment that we now face. In order for us to attain profitability and growth, we will need to
successfully address these challenges, including executing our production, marketing and sales plans for our Array product line and improving our supply chain performance. We cannot estimate when or if we will achieve profitability in the future,
and our business may not be as successful as we envision. Continuing losses may exhaust our capital resources and force us to scale back, suspend or discontinue our operations.

Our development and growth have caused significant strain on our financial resources resulting in losses, deficits and negative operating cash flows. We plan on continuing to make significant expenditures
in administration, sales, marketing and product development to support our growth strategy, which we expect will result in operating losses for 2011 and potentially future periods. These expenditures may include costs associated with hiring
additional personnel, expanding our sales and marketing activities, continuing our research and development relating to new products and enhancing existing products and manufacturing activities for our existing and new products, including our Array
product line. We expect that our operating expenses will continue to increase as we spend resources on growing our business, and if our revenue does not correspondingly increase, our operating results and financial condition will suffer. The amount
of these expenditures is difficult to forecast accurately and cost overruns may occur. We cannot be certain of the timing and extent of revenue receipts and expense disbursements. To become profitable, we will have to generate sufficient revenue
while controlling our costs and expenses. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to become profitable, our ability to achieve our business objectives may be negatively impacted and the market price of our common stock could decline.

If we are unable to obtain sufficient capital when needed, our business and future prospects will be adversely affected and we could be
forced to suspend or discontinue operations.

Our operations have not generated positive cash flow for the years ended
December 31, 2010 or 2009, and we have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of common and preferred stock and from debt. The actual amount of funds that we will need to meet our operating needs will be determined by a number of
factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include the timing and volume of sales transactions, the success of our marketing strategy, market acceptance of our products, the success of our manufacturing and research and development
efforts (including any unanticipated delays), the costs associated with obtaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights, regulatory changes, competition, technological developments in the market, evolving industry standards and the amount
of working capital investments we are required to make.

Our growth is expected to place significant strain on our limited research and
development, sales and marketing, operational and administrative resources. To manage any future growth, we must continue to improve our operational and financial systems and expand, train and manage our employee base. We also need to improve our
supply chain management and quality control operations and hire and train new employees, including sales and customer service representatives and operations managers. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our profitability and liquidity
could be adversely affected.

Our ability to continue to operate will depend on our ability to achieve and sustain positive cash flow from
operations or to continue to raise funds through public or private sales of shares of our capital stock or through debt. We do not have any committed sources of outside capital at this time. During the recent economic downturn, we experienced
limited access to the capital and credit markets, and it remains uncertain whether we will be able to obtain outside capital when we need it or on terms that would be acceptable to us. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of our common
stock or securities convertible or exercisable into our common stock, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are unable to obtain sufficient outside capital when needed, our business and future prospects will be
adversely affected and we could be forced to scale back, suspend or discontinue operations.

The current downturn in economic and market
conditions and construction trends could materially and adversely affect our business.

We may continue to be adversely impacted by
downturns in general economic and market conditions, both nationally and internationally. The markets in which we sell our lighting products have been negatively impacted by the downturn in general economic and market conditions. Economic downturns,
particularly those affecting renovation or that cause end-users to reduce or delay their purchases of lighting products, signs or displays, would have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations. We expect sales of our Array products to be affected by energy costs, the extent of utility and government rebates for energy conservation, levels of cost savings initiatives and green environmental trends. Our future results
of operations may experience substantial fluctuations from period to period as a consequence of these factors, and such conditions and other factors affecting capital spending may affect the timing of orders. In addition, the persistence of the
economic downturn may also cause reductions or elimination of utility and government energy efficiency incentive programs used to partially offset the costs of some of our products. Continued economic downturn coupled with a decline in our revenue
could adversely affect our ability to meet our capital requirements, support our working capital requirements and growth objectives, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may reorganize our company, operations and product offerings which may cause us to incur greater losses and create disruptions to our business.

We routinely review our operations for additional opportunities to reduce costs. Our analysis may lead to the determination to sell,
close, eliminate, rationalize or reduce operations and divisions and/or alter our sales, manufacturing and/or distribution structure. Should we decide to pursue any such changes, we may incur additional charges and losses in connections with such
changes in the future, and such charges and losses may be material. In addition, we could experience difficulties, disruptions or delays in the implementation of any such changes and there can be no assurance that we will be able to implement these
programs successfully or on a timely basis.

Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and achieve long-term viability is dependent
upon successfully managing our costs and expenses and increasing revenue.

We face significant challenges in order to achieve
profitability. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain adequate liquidity or achieve long-term viability. Our ability to meet our obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon our ability to establish profitable
operations or raise capital, as needed, through public or private debt or equity financing, or other sources of financing to fund operations. The disruption of the capital markets and the continued decline in economic conditions could negatively
impact our ability to achieve profitability or raise additional capital when needed. We believe that our existing cash balance, combined with working capital, will be sufficient to enable us to meet our planned expenditures through the next twelve
months. Our operating plan could include, among other cost cutting measures, reductions in marketing and capital expenditures, delaying new hires and being more selective in inventory purchases. However, in order to optimize the growth of our
business, we may need to seek to raise additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify a source of such financing, or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Moreover, should the opportunity to raise additional capital arise, any additional debt or equity financing could result in significant dilution of the existing holders of common stock.

If demand for our Array brand of LED light bulbs in the general lighting market fails to emerge or we
fail in the execution of the manufacture or distribution of our Array product line, we may not be able to carry out our long-term business strategy.

Our long-term business strategy includes the penetration of the general lighting market with our Array brand of white light LED light bulbs. We have devoted, and intend to continue to devote, substantial
resources to the development of our Array product line and technologies suitable for use in the general lighting market. If demand for these products and technologies in the general lighting market does not develop and we do not receive sufficient
revenue to offset these expenditures, our profitability would be harmed and our ability to carry out our long-term business strategy would be adversely affected.

We outsource all of the production of our Array brand of products. We depend on three contract manufacturers to produce our Array product line at plants located in Mexico, China and Minnesota. Maintaining
an adequate supply to meet demand for our Array products depends on our ability to execute on our production plan. In anticipation of increasing sales, we increased production of our Array products significantly in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the
first two quarters of 2010. We cannot be sure that we will meet our production schedule or that sales will meet our expectations. Any significant problems in the production process, including the operations of our contractors manufacturing
facilities, could result in cancellation of shipments, loss of product in the process of being manufactured, or unplanned increases in production costs, any of which could have a material adverse affect on our business. In addition, there are
inherent uncertainties associated with forecasting future demand for our new Array brand of products, and as a consequence, we may have inadequate capacity to meet actual demand. Alternatively, we may have an excess of inventory and available
capacity, which could lead to charges and an increase in our cost of sales.

If our advanced lighting products do not gain wider market
acceptance, prospects for our growth and profitability may be limited.

We face competition from both traditional lighting
technologies, such as incandescent, florescent and neon lighting, and from competitors engaged in providing LED lighting products. Traditional lighting technologies have the advantage of a long history of market acceptance and familiarity as
compared to our LED lighting solutions. Potential customers for our LED products may be reluctant to adopt these as alternatives to traditional lighting technologies because of their higher initial cost to achieve comparable light output, although
our LED lighting products tend to be more energy efficient and require less maintenance.

Our success will depend upon both the increased
acceptance of our LED products as an alternative to traditional lighting technologies and the development of higher lumen producing products to meet traditional lighting applications. Obstacles to adoption of LED lighting in the general lighting
market include the high initial cost of high brightness white LEDs and the need for further advances in brightness, color characteristics, efficiency and the predicted life of the LEDs before they require replacement. Our future results are
dependent upon sales growth in the commercial, hospitality, entertainment, institutional, retail and sign markets. As part of our sales and marketing strategy, we actively seek to educate our target markets as to the advantages of our LED lighting
solutions. We believe that achievement of this objective is critical to our future success. Our lighting products may not continue to gain market share within the overall lighting market or competitors may introduce better lighting technologies,
displacing our LED and other lighting products in the market. If acceptance of our lighting products in general does not continue to grow, then opportunities to increase our revenue and operate profitably may be limited.

If we are unable to respond effectively as new lighting technologies and market trends emerge, our competitive position and our ability to generate
revenue and profits may be harmed.

To be successful, we will need to keep pace with rapid changes in LED technology, changing customer
requirements, new product introductions by competitors and evolving industry standards, any of which could render our existing products obsolete if we fail to respond in a timely manner. Development of new products incorporating advanced technology
is a complex process subject to numerous uncertainties. We have in the past experienced, and could in the future experience, delays in introduction of new products. If effective new sources of light other than LEDs are discovered, our current
products and technologies could become less competitive or obsolete. If others develop innovative proprietary lighting technology that is superior to ours, or if we fail to accurately anticipate technology and market trends, respond on a timely
basis with our own development of new products and enhancements to existing products, and achieve broad market acceptance of these products and enhancements, our competitive position may be harmed and we may not achieve sufficient growth in our
revenue to attain, or sustain, profitability.

If we are not able to compete effectively against companies with greater resources, our prospects for
future success will be jeopardized.

The lighting industry is highly competitive. In the high performance lighting markets in which we
sell our LED lighting solutions, our products compete with lighting products utilizing traditional lighting technology provided by many vendors. In the replacement lamp market where we sell our Array line of LED products, we expect to encounter
competition from an even greater number of companies. Our competitors are expected to include the large, established companies in the general lighting industry, such as General Electric, Osram Sylvania and Royal Philips Electronics. We believe each
of these competitors has undertaken initiatives to develop white light LED technology. These companies have global marketing capabilities and substantially greater resources to devote to research and development and other aspects of the development,
manufacture and marketing of LED lighting products than we do. We may also face increased competition from traditional lighting fixture companies, such as Acuity Brands Lighting, Cooper Lighting, Hubbell Lighting, Lithonia Lighting and Royal Philips
Electronics. The relatively low barriers to entry into the lighting industry and the limited proprietary nature of many lighting products also permit new competitors to enter the industry easily.

In each of our markets, we also anticipate the possibility that LED manufacturers, including those that currently supply us with LEDs, may seek to
compete with us by introducing more complete systems that might not infringe on our patents. Our competitors lighting technologies and products may be more readily accepted by customers than our products. Additionally, to the extent that
competition in our markets intensifies, we may be required to reduce our prices in order to remain competitive. If we do not compete effectively, or if we reduce our prices without making commensurate reductions in our costs, our revenue and
profitability, and our future prospects for success, may be harmed.

If we are unable to obtain and adequately protect our intellectual
property rights, our ability to commercialize our products could be substantially limited.

We consider our technology and processes
proprietary. If we are not able to adequately protect or enforce the proprietary aspects of our technology, competitors may utilize our proprietary technology and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. We
currently attempt to protect our technology through a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, employee and third party nondisclosure agreements and similar means. Despite our efforts, other parties may attempt to disclose,
obtain or use our technologies. Our competitors may also be able to independently develop products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products or design around our patents. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not
protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States. As a result, we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights adequately in the United States or abroad.

As of March 18, 2011, we have 33 issued patents and 29 combined U.S. and foreign patent applications pending relating to our Array Lighting and Lumificient product offering. Because our patent
position involves complex legal, scientific, and factual questions, the issuance, scope, validity and enforceability of our patents cannot be predicted with certainty. Our issued patents may be invalidated or their enforceability challenged, they
may be designed around, and they may not provide us with competitive advantages against others with similar products and technology. Furthermore, others may independently develop similar products or technology or duplicate or design around any
technologies that we have developed.

We may receive notices that claim we have infringed upon the intellectual property of others. Even if
these claims are not valid, they could subject us to significant costs. We have engaged in litigation and litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary
rights of others. Litigation may also be necessary to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity by others. An adverse outcome in litigation or any similar proceedings could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require us
to license disputed rights from others or require us to cease marketing or using certain products or technologies. We may not be able to obtain any licenses on acceptable terms, if at all. We also may have to indemnify certain customers if it is
determined that we have infringed upon or misappropriated another partys intellectual property. Any of these results could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the cost of addressing any
intellectual property litigation claim, both in legal fees and expenses, and the diversion of management resources, regardless of whether the claim is valid, could be significant and could materially harm our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

If critical components that we currently purchase from a small number of third-party suppliers become
unavailable, or third-party manufacturers otherwise experience delays, we may incur delays in shipment, which would damage our business.

We depend on a small number of third-party suppliers for a significant portion of the component parts incorporated into our products. We purchase these
component parts from third-party suppliers that serve the advanced lighting systems market and we believe that alternative sources of supply are readily available for most component parts. However, consolidation in the LED lighting industry could
result in one or more current suppliers being acquired by a competitor, rendering us unable to continue purchasing necessary amounts of key components at competitive prices. In addition, for certain of our customized components, arrangements for
additional or replacement suppliers will take time and result in delays. We purchase products and components pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time in the ordinary course of business. This means we are vulnerable to unanticipated price
increases and product shortages. Any interruption or delay in the supply of components, or our inability to obtain components from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner, could harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

In an effort to reduce manufacturing costs, we have outsourced the production of certain parts and components as well as finished
goods in our product lines to a number of suppliers. We outsourced all of the production for our Array brand of products to two third-party manufacturers in 2009 and added another third party manufacturer in 2010. There is no production overlap
between these manufacturers. Except for two types of Array product, all of our Array products are produced by a single third-party manufacturer located in Mexico. While we believe alternative manufacturers for these products are available, we have
selected these particular manufacturers based on their ability to consistently produce these products per our specifications ensuring the best quality product at the most cost effective price. We depend on our third-party manufacturers to satisfy
performance and quality specifications and to dedicate sufficient production capacity within scheduled delivery times. Accordingly, the loss of all or one of these manufacturers or delays in obtaining shipments could have a material adverse effect
on our operations until such time as an alternative manufacturer could be found.

We may be subject to various import duties applicable to
materials manufactured in foreign countries and, in addition, may be affected by various other import and export restrictions, as well as other considerations or developments impacting upon international trade, including economic or political
instability, shipping delays and product quotas. These international trade factors will, under certain circumstances, have an impact both on the cost of components (which will, in turn, have an impact on the cost to us of the manufactured product)
and the wholesale and retail prices of our products.

If the companies to which we outsource the manufacture of our products fail to
meet our requirements for quality, quantity and timeliness, our revenue and reputation in the marketplace could be harmed.

We
outsource a significant portion of the manufacture and assembly of our products, including all of the production of our Array brand of products. We currently depend on a small number of contract manufacturers to manufacture our products at plants in
the U.S., Mexico and China. These manufacturers supply raw materials (in some cases we procure and provide our contract manufacturers with certain components, such as LEDs) and provide necessary facilities and labor to manufacture our products. If
these companies were to terminate their arrangements with us without adequate notice, or fail to provide the required capacity and quality on a timely basis, we would be unable to manufacture and ship our lighting products until replacement
manufacturing services could be obtained. To qualify a new contract manufacturer, familiarize it with our products, quality standards and other requirements, and commence volume production is a costly and time-consuming process. If it became
necessary to do so, we may not be able to establish alternative manufacturing relationships on acceptable terms.

Our reliance on contract
manufacturers involves certain additional risks, including the following:



| |  |  | lack of direct control over production capacity and delivery schedules;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | lack of direct control over quality assurance, manufacturing yields and production costs;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risk of loss of inventory while in transit from China and Mexico; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks associated with international commerce, particularly with China and Mexico, including unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements,
changes in tariffs and trade policies, risks associated with the protection of intellectual property and political and economic instability.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any interruption in our ability to manufacture and distribute products could result in delays in shipment,
lost sales, reductions in revenue and damage to our reputation in the market, all of which would adversely affect our business.

If we
are unable to increase production capacity for our products in a cost effective and timely manner, we may incur delays in shipment and our revenues and reputation in the marketplace could be harmed.

As customer demand for our products changes, we must be able to adjust our production capacity to meet demand while keeping costs down. In order to
fulfill anticipated demand for our products, we invest in capacity in advance of actual customer orders, typically based on preliminary, non-binding indications of future demand. We outsource a significant portion of the manufacture and assembly of
our products, including all of the production of our Array brand of products. We currently depend on a small number of contract manufacturers to manufacture our products at plants in the U.S., Mexico and China. Uncertainty is inherent within our
capacity expansion, and unforeseen circumstances could offset the anticipated benefits, disrupt our ability to provide products to our customers and impact product quality.

Our ability to successfully increase production capacity in a cost effective and timely manner will depend on a number of factors, including the following:



| |  |  | the ability of contract manufacturers to allocate more of their existing capacity to us or their ability to add new capacity quickly;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the availability of critical components and subsystems used in the manufacture of our products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to effectively establish adequate management information systems, financial controls and supply chain management and quality control
procedures; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | equipment failures, power outages, environmental risks or variations in the manufacturing process.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we are unable to increase production capacity for our products in a cost effective and timely manner while maintaining adequate quality, we may incur
delays in shipment or be unable to meet increased demand for our products which could harm our revenues and operating margins and damage our reputation and our relationships with current and prospective customers.

We depend on distributors and independent sales representatives for a substantial portion of our revenue and sales, and the failure to successfully
manage our relationships with these third parties, or the termination of these relationships, could cause our revenue to decline and harm our business.

We rely significantly on indirect sales channels to market and sell our products. Most of our products are sold through independent distributors and agents. In addition, these parties provide technical
sales support to end-users. Our current agreements with indirect sales channels are non-exclusive with regard to lighting products in general, but exclusive with respect to LED lighting products. We anticipate that any such agreements we enter into
in the future will be on similar terms. Furthermore, our agreements are generally short-term, and can be cancelled by these sales channels without significant financial consequence. We cannot control how these sales channels perform and cannot be
certain that we or end-users will be satisfied by their performance. If these distributors and agents significantly change their terms with us, or change their historical pattern of ordering products from us, there could be a significant impact on
our revenue and profits.

Quarterly operating results fluctuate as a result of many factors.

Most of our expenses are fixed in nature and cannot be significantly reduced in the short-term if we experience an unexpected delay or decrease in our
anticipated revenue in any quarter. In addition, forecasting our revenue is difficult, as we generally do not enter into agreements with our customers obligating them to purchase our LED lighting; instead, our business is characterized by short-term
purchase orders and shipment schedules and we generally permit orders to be cancelled or rescheduled without significant penalty.If we, our manufacturers representatives, distributors or customers fail to accurately forecast the demand
for our products, or fail to accurately forecast the timing of such demand, we might not meet our forecasts, or those of investors or analysts.In addition, we forecast our revenue and plan our production and inventory levels based upon our
manufacturers representatives, distributors and customers demand forecasts, which are highly unpredictable and can fluctuate substantially. As a result, we may continue to experience losses on a quarterly or annual basis, which could
cause a reduction in cash flows and the market price of our common stock to decline.



15



---

Quarterly revenue and operating results have fluctuated and are likely to continue to vary from quarter to
quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are not within our control. Factors that could affect revenue and operating results include, among others, the following:



| |  |  | competitive factors, such as competitive pricing pressure and the potential introduction of new products by competitors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | manufacturing factors, including constraints in our manufacturing and assembly operations and shortages or increases in the prices of raw materials and
components;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sales and distribution factors, such as changes in product mix or distribution channels resulting in lower margins, increases in sales and marketing
expenses, the loss of a significant distributor or sales representative and seasonality of sales;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | product development and introduction problems, such as increased research, development and marketing expenses associated with new product
introductions, delays in the introduction of new products and technologies, and adverse effects on sales of existing products;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | developments in trade secrets, patent or other proprietary rights by us or our competitors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability to control costs, including levels of expenses relative to revenue levels;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risk of product returns and exchanges, such as component problems, that could increase warranty reserves and manufacturing costs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability to develop, introduce, market and gain market acceptance of new products and product enhancements in a timely manner;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the size, timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer orders;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk of loss of a significant customer;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in our pricing policies and the pricing policies of suppliers and competitors, pricing concessions on volume sales, as well as increased price
competition in general;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | success in expanding and implementing our sales and marketing programs;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | relatively small level of backlog at any given time;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the mix of sales among our products;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | deferrals of customer orders in anticipation of new products or product enhancements;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks and uncertainties associated with international business;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expenses that may be incurred in litigation;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | personnel changes;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | currency fluctuations and our ability to get currency out of certain foreign countries; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic and market conditions, including housing market trends, interest rates, the weather, terrorist activities and the prospect or
actuality of war.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, sales in any quarter may consist of a relatively small number of large customer orders. As a
result, the timing of a small number of orders may impact quarter-to-quarter results. The loss of, or a substantial reduction in, orders from any significant customer could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Quarterly operating results are also substantially affected by the markets acceptance of our products and the level and timing of orders received. Significant portions of our expenses are relatively fixed in advance based upon forecasts of
future sales. If sales fall below expectations in any given quarter, operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, certain product development and marketing expenditures may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and are made well
in advance of potential resulting revenue.

Due to all of the factors listed above and other risks discussed herein, future operating results
could be below the expectations of investors or analysts. If that happens, the trading price of our common stock could decline. As a result of these quarterly variations, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results
as an indication of our future performance.

We have made strategic acquisitions in the past and may do so in the future, which may adversely
affect our operating results, financial condition and existing business.

We have historically sought to grow through strategic
acquisitions in order to complement and expand our business. On April 30, 2008, we acquired Lumificient Corporation and on September 28, 2007, we acquired Advanced Lighting Systems, Inc. In order to reduce operating expenses and increase
synergies across our business lines, in the first quarter of 2009, we integrated the operations of Advanced Lighting Systems with other company operations in Orlando, Florida. The success of any acquisition will depend on, among other things:



| |  |  | the availability of suitable candidates;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | competition from other companies for the purchase of available candidates;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to value those candidates accurately and negotiate favorable terms for those acquisitions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the availability of funds to finance acquisitions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability to establish new informational, operational and financial systems to meet the needs of our business;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability to achieve anticipated synergies, including with respect to complementary products or services; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the availability of management resources to oversee the integration and operation of the acquired businesses.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We may not be successful in integrating acquired businesses and completing acquisitions in the future. We also may incur substantial expenses and devote
significant management time and resources in seeking to complete acquisitions. Acquired businesses may fail to meet our performance expectations. If we do not achieve the anticipated benefits of an acquisition as rapidly as expected, or at all,
investors or analysts may not perceive the same benefits of the acquisition as we do. If these risks materialize, our stock price could be materially adversely affected.

Our inability to successfully integrate businesses we acquire could have adverse consequences on our business.

Acquisitions result in greater administrative burdens and operating costs and, to the extent financed with debt, additional interest costs. We cannot assure you that we will be able to manage or integrate
acquired companies or businesses successfully. The process of integrating acquired businesses may be disruptive to our business and may cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our business as a result of the following factors, among
others:



| |  |  | loss of key employees or customers;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | possible inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies among the combined companies and the need to implement company-wide financial,
accounting, information and other systems;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to maintain the quality of services that the companies have historically provided;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | coordinating sales, distribution and marketing functions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the need to coordinate geographically diverse organizations; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the diversion of managements attention from our day-to-day business as a result of the need to deal with any disruptions and difficulties and the
need to add management resources to do so.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These disruptions and difficulties, if they occur, may cause us to fail to
realize the cost savings, revenue enhancements and other benefits that we may expect from such acquisitions and may cause material adverse short- and long-term effects on our operating results and financial condition.

Our products could contain defects or they may be installed or operated incorrectly, which could reduce sales of those products or result in claims
against us.

Despite testing by us, errors have been found and may be found in the future in our existing or future products. This
could result in, among other things, a delay in the recognition or loss of revenue, loss of market share or failure to achieve market acceptance. These defects could cause us to incur significant warranty, support and repair costs, divert the
attention of our engineering personnel from our product development efforts and harm our relationships with our customers. The occurrence of these problems could result in the delay or loss of market acceptance of our lighting products and would
likely harm our business. Defects, integration issues or other performance problems in our lighting products could result in personal injury or financial or other damages to end-users or could damage market acceptance of our products. Our customers
and end-users could also seek damages from us for their losses. A product liability claim brought against us, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time consuming and costly to defend.



17

If we are unable to attract or retain qualified personnel, our business and product development
efforts could be harmed.

Our success depends on our continued ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate highly
skilled technical, managerial, manufacturing, administrative and sales and marketing personnel. To a significant extent, our success will depend on our senior management team. In particular, the loss of the services of Michael A. Bauer, our
president and chief executive officer, would harm our business. Competition for these individuals is intense and we may not be able to successfully recruit, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. In particular, we may encounter
difficulties in recruiting and retaining a sufficient number of qualified technical personnel, which could harm our ability to develop new products and adversely impact our relationships with existing and future customers. The inability to attract
and retain necessary technical, managerial, manufacturing, administrative and sales and marketing personnel could harm our ability to obtain new customers and develop new products and could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We have international sales and are subject to risks associated with operating in international markets.

In each of 2010 and 2009, revenue from sales of our products internationally (for our purposes, outside of the United States and Canada) represented
approximately 8% and 6%, respectively, of our total revenue. We generally provide technical expertise and limited marketing support, while our independent international distributors generally provide sales staff, local marketing and product service.
We believe our international distributors are better able to service international markets due to their understanding of local market conditions and best business practices. International business operations are subject to inherent risks, including,
among others:



| |  |  | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers or restrictions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | longer accounts receivable payment cycles and the difficulty of enforcing contracts and collecting receivables through certain foreign legal systems;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in managing and staffing international operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potentially adverse tax consequences;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | the burdens of compliance with a wide variety of foreign laws;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | import and export license requirements and restrictions of the United States and each other country in which we operate;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | exposure to different legal standards and reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | currency fluctuations and restrictions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | political, social and economic instability, including war and the threat of war, acts of terrorism, pandemics, boycotts, curtailment of trade or other
business restrictions;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | periodic foreign economic downturns; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | sales variability as a result of transacting our foreign sales in U.S. dollars.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any of these factors may adversely affect our future international sales and, consequently, our business and operating results. Furthermore, as we
increase our international sales, total revenue may also be affected to a greater extent by seasonal fluctuations resulting from lower sales that typically occur during the summer months in Europe and other parts of the world.

We believe that international sales will continue to represent a portion of our revenue, and that continued growth and profitability may require further
expansion of our international operations. All of our international sales are currently denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, an increase in the relative value of the dollar could make our products more expensive and potentially less price
competitive in international markets. We do not engage in any transactions as a hedge against risks of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations.

The reduction or elimination of investments in, or incentives to adopt, LED lighting or the
elimination of, or changes in, policies, incentives or rebates in certain states or countries that encourage the use of LEDs over some traditional lighting technologies could cause the growth in demand for our products to slow, which could
materially and adversely affect our revenues, profits and margins.

We believe the near-term growth of the LED market will be
accelerated by government policies in certain countries that either directly promote the use of LEDs or discourage the use of some traditional lighting technologies. Today, the upfront cost of LED lighting exceeds the upfront cost for some
traditional lighting technologies that provide similar lumen output in many applications. However, some governments around the world have used policy initiatives to accelerate the development and adoption of LED lighting and other non-traditional
lighting technologies that are seen as more environmentally friendly compared to some traditional lighting technologies. Reductions in (including as a result of any budgetary constraints), or the elimination of, government investment and favorable
energy policies could result in decreased demand for our products and decrease our revenues, profits and margins. Further, if our products fail to qualify for any financial incentives or rebates provided by governmental agencies or utilities for
which our competitors products qualify, such programs may diminish or eliminate our ability to compete by offering products at lower prices than our competitors.

We believe that certification and compliance issues are critical to adoption of our lighting systems, and failure to obtain such certification or compliance would harm our business.

We are required to comply with certain legal requirements governing the materials in our products. Although we are not aware of any
efforts to amend any existing legal requirements or implement new legal requirements in a manner with which we cannot comply, our revenue might be materially harmed if such an amendment or implementation were to occur.

Moreover, although not legally required to do so, we strive to obtain certification for substantially all our products. In the United States, we seek,
and to date have obtained, certification of substantially all of our products from Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Intertek (ETL) and in Europe we seek, and to date have appropriately self certified substantially all of our products from
Conformité Européenne (CE). Where appropriate in jurisdictions outside the United States and Europe, we seek to obtain other similar national or regional certifications for our products, such as Canadian Underwriters Laboratories (CUL)
in Canada and Product Safety Electrical (PSE) in Japan. Although we believe that our broad knowledge and experience with electrical codes and safety standards have facilitated certification approvals, we cannot ensure that we will be able to obtain
any such certifications for our new products or that, if certification standards are amended, that we will be able to maintain any such certifications for our existing products, especially since existing codes and standards were not created with our
lighting products in mind. Moreover, although we are not aware of any effort to amend any existing certification standard or implement a new certification standard in a manner that would render us unable to maintain certification for our existing
products or obtain certification for new products, our revenue might be materially harmed if such an amendment or implementation were to occur.

We must comply with regulatory requirements regarding internal control over financial reporting, corporate governance and public disclosure, which
will cause us to incur significant costs and our failure to comply with these requirements could cause our stock price to decline.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we annually evaluate and report on our systems of internal controls. These rules and
regulations have increased our legal and compliance costs and made certain activities more time-consuming and costly. In the future, there may be material weaknesses in our internal controls that would be required to be reported in future Annual
Reports on Form 10-K and/or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. A negative reaction by the equity markets to the reporting of a material weakness could cause our stock price to decline. In addition, if we acquire a company with weak internal controls,
it will take time to improve the internal controls of the acquired company to the same level of operating effectiveness as ours. Any failure to improve an acquired companys financial systems could result in delays or inaccuracies in reporting
financial information.

|Item 6. | Selected Financial Data.
|------- | ------------------------

We are a
smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide the information under this item.



|Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Please
see Risk Factors and Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements for a discussion of some of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

Overview

We design, manufacture, market
and sell high performance, commercial grade, LED replacement light bulbs and LED strip lighting products. These products are sold under the Array Lighting and Lumificient brand names. With 33 issued patents and 29 combined U.S. and foreign
patent applications pending related to our Array Lighting and Lumificient product offerings, our products incorporate many proprietary and innovative features. Our patent pending Selective Heat Sink technology and patented designs provide the market
with opportunities for significant savings in energy and maintenance costs without compromising the environment. We generate revenue by selling products for use in the commercial, hospitality, entertainment, institutional, retail and sign markets.
We serve these markets through our Array Lighting division and through our subsidiary, Lumificient. Each division markets and distributes products globally through multiple networks of independent sales representatives and distributors.

We began shipping our line of Array LED replacement lamps in December 2008 and continued the launch in 2009. Since its introduction, sales of our Array
LED replacement lamps have grown significantly. Revenue from the Array line increased 32% to approximately $1,808,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to approximately $1,366,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. We
market our Array products to end-users through our network of independent sales representatives and distributors, as well as to energy savings companies and national accounts. The initial Array product line included R30, R16, MR16, GU10 and G4
lamps. In 2009, we expanded the product line to include a 230 volt/50 megahertz R30 for use in certain international markets and 25o narrow optic versions for the R30 and R16/MR16 lamps. In 2010, we upgraded the design of our R30 lamp and
introduced a new PAR38 lamp. Four of our Array lamps were among the first lamps to be certified under the Energy Star program which began accepting applications for lamps in September 2010. We intend to continue making investments to expand the
Array product offering and grow our market share.

As a result of the sale of our Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses in October
2010, we reorganized our reporting structure into two reportable segments: LED replacement lamps and LED signage and lighting strips. Our operations are principally managed on a product basis. The Array product line consists of white light LED
replacement lamps. The Lumificient product line consists of LED signage and lighting strips. The financial condition and results of operations of the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for
all periods presented.

Revenue

Revenue is derived from sales of our advanced lighting products. These products consist of solid-state LED lighting systems and controls. Revenue is subject to both quarterly and annual fluctuations.

We sell our products pursuant to purchase orders and do not have any long-term contracts with our customers. We recognize revenue upon
shipment to our customers. Delays in product orders or changes to the timing of shipments could cause our quarterly revenue to vary significantly. The majority of our sales are to the North American market (which includes Canada, but excludes Mexico
for our purposes), and we expect that region to continue to be a major source of revenue for us. However, we also derive a portion of our revenue from customers outside of the North American market. All of our revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars.

Cost of Goods Sold

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of raw materials, production costs from our contract manufacturers and manufacturing-related overhead such as depreciation, rent and utilities. In addition, our
cost of goods sold includes provisions for excess and obsolete inventory reserves, freight and warranties. We manufacture our products based on sales projections and customer orders. We purchase materials and supplies to support such demand.

Gross Profit

Our gross
profit has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including average sales prices of our products, product mix, our ability to reduce manufacturing costs and fluctuations in the cost of our purchased components. We define
direct gross margin as revenue less direct material costs.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and associated costs for employees in sales, engineering, finance, and administrative activities. In addition, operating expenses include charges relating
to accounting, legal, insurance and stock-based compensation under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation  Stock Compensation.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $5,422,000 as compared to approximately $4,989,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of approximately $434,000, or 9%.

Sales of our Array LED lamps grew approximately $441,000
to approximately $1,808,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to approximately $1,366,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. We believe that this growth reflects the full year impact of the Array business launched in
2009; the expansion of the Array product line, particularly with the introduction of the PAR38 products; and the award of Energy Star certification to a number of Array lamps.

On March 18, 2011, we announced that our Array brand of premium LED replacement lamps will be offered on Lowes.com and in approximately 1,100 Lowes stores across the United States. Our LED
replacement lamps are currently available on Lowes.com and are expected to be available in Lowes stores beginning in June 2011. Lowes will offer seventeen different Array products, including our PAR 38, R30, R16, MR16 and GU10 lamps that
have qualified for the Energy Star rating.

Sales of Lumificient products remained flat at approximately $3,615,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2010, reflecting progress into new markets despite the difficult environment for sign lighting businesses.

As we have
accounted for the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses as discontinued operations, sales of LED products represent 100% of our revenue from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $1,363,000 and $1,620,000,
respectively. Gross margins decreased from approximately 32% of sales in 2009 to approximately 25% of sales in 2010. Direct gross margin, which is revenue less direct material costs, decreased from 48% in 2009 to approximately 45% in 2010. The
decline in direct gross margin reflects more aggressive pricing of both Array and Lumificient products, particularly for the 230v Array product used in certain international markets.

Production costs in 2010 increased to approximately $1,075,000, or 20% of revenue, as compared to $783,000, or 16% of revenue, in 2009. The increase of approximately $292,000 in production costs for the
year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, includes an increase of approximately $226,000 in our inventory reserves for excess Array product, particularly for the 230v product and certain products made
with cool white LEDs. In addition, we incurred an increase of approximately $47,000 in depreciation expense primarily related to tooling for our Array lighting products for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2009.

We continue to review our operations for opportunities to reduce costs. Our analysis may lead to the determination to
alter our sales, manufacturing and/or distribution structure. Should we decide to pursue any such changes, we may incur additional charges and losses in connection with such changes in the future, and such charges and losses may be material. Any
reorganization of our company, operations and/or product offerings, including the recent divestiture of our Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses, may cause us to incur greater losses and create disruptions in our business.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were approximately $6,097,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to approximately $5,858,000 for the same period in
2009, an increase of approximately $239,000, or 4%. This increase primarily reflects higher investment in resources dedicated to the sale of our Array products, including internal sales, advertising and commissions.

Research and development costs were approximately $944,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to approximately $551,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2009. This increase of approximately $393,000 was primarily due to higher employee and project-related costs in 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.

Interest

Interest expense of approximately $248,000 for 2010 primarily related to
borrowing costs under approximately $3,800,000 of indebtedness incurred in June 2009 and $2,400,000 of indebtedness incurred in December 2009. For 2009, interest expense of approximately $460,000 primarily related to borrowing costs under
approximately $3,800,000 of indebtedness incurred in June 2009.

Other Income and Debt Extinguishment Costs

We recognized debt extinguishment costs of approximately $442,000 in the first quarter of 2010 relating to the write off of our unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs as a result of the early
extinguishment of promissory notes issued in June 2009.

Income Tax

We have provided a full valuation allowance against income tax benefits resulting from losses incurred and accumulated on operations. As a result, there was no provision for income tax recorded during
2010 and 2009.

Net Loss

Net
loss for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was approximately $8,011,000 and $7,155,000, respectively, including a loss from discontinued operations related to the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses of
approximately $1,646,000 and $1,908,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively. On December 21, 2009, we consummated the exchange of our Series A preferred stock for other securities of our company. As a result of the exchange, we recorded deemed
dividends of approximately $6,420,000 as of December 31, 2009. After including the effects of the dividends related to the preferred stock and warrants issued in November 2008, net loss attributable to common stockholders was approximately
$8,011,000 and $14,900,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Basic and diluted loss per common share attributable to common stockholders was $0.49 and $1.71 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Basic and diluted loss per common share from continuing operations was $0.39 and $0.60 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Basic and diluted loss per common share from discontinued operations was $0.10
and $0.22 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2010, we had working capital of approximately $9,131,000, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5,309,000, a decrease
of approximately $10,058,000 compared to working capital of approximately $19,189,000, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15,167,000, at December 31, 2009. The decline in working capital primarily represents our use of cash
to fund operations and to extinguish the principal and accrued interest outstanding on the promissory notes we issued in June 2009.

Net cash
used in operations decreased approximately $57,000 to approximately $6,453,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to approximately $6,510,000 in 2009. We began shipping our line of Array LED replacement lamps in December 2008 and
continued the launch in 2009, requiring a larger initial investment in inventory in the year ended December 31, 2009 than in 2010. Cash provided by accounts receivable from sales of our Array and Lumificient products increased for the year
ended December 31, 2010 as a result of increased Array sales. The $57,000 decrease in net cash used in operating activities for 2010 as compared to 2009 is primarily due to an increase in cash provided by accounts receivable of approximately
$450,000, a decrease in cash used to purchase inventory of approximately $389,000, a decrease in cash used for accounts payable of approximately $188,000, and a decrease in cash used for prepaid expenses of approximately $123,000. The decrease in
net cash used in operating activities is partially offset by an increase in net loss adjusted for non-cash items of approximately $1,041,000.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $429,000 as compared to net cash used in investing
activities of approximately $601,000 in the comparable period of 2009. This increase in net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $1,030,000 for 2010, as compared to 2009, is primarily due to the sale of the Legacy Commercial and
Pool Lighting Businesses which resulted in net proceeds of approximately $1,148,000. In addition, cash used for acquisition costs decreased by approximately $123,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009.
These proceeds were partially offset by an increase in cash used for the purchase of property and equipment of approximately $81,000 and an increase in patent and trademark development costs of approximately $166,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009.

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31,
2010 was approximately $3,835,000 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $19,329,000 for the comparable period of 2009. In February 2010, we paid all outstanding borrowings under the $3,800,000 in principal amount
of promissory notes issued in June 2009. In 2009, the cash provided by financing activities was attributable primarily to approximately $15,738,000 of net proceeds from the sale of common stock in our follow-on public offering in December 2009 and
net proceeds of approximately $3,736,000 from the issuance of promissory notes in June 2009. Net proceeds from the follow-on public offering were used in part to pay preferred stock dividends of approximately $792,000 in December 2009. In addition,
proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options and warrants decreased by approximately $837,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.

Nexxus liquidity is affected by many factors. Some of these factors are based on operations of the
business and others relate to the uncertainties of national and global economies and the lighting industry. Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and achieve long-term viability is dependent upon successfully managing our costs and expenses and
increasing revenue. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain adequate liquidity or achieve long-term viability. Our ability to meet our obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon our ability to establish
profitable operations or raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financing, or other sources of financing to fund operations. There can be no assurance such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all,
or that any financing transaction will not be dilutive to our current stockholders. In the event that we experience unforeseen increases in expenditures or should estimated revenues not materialize, these conditions could significantly impair our
ability to fund future operations. If we are unable to maintain adequate liquidity, future operations will need to be scaled back or discontinued. Accordingly, we have identified certain operating measures that can be taken to conserve liquidity if
circumstances warrant. These measures could include further reductions in costs and re-timing or eliminating certain capital spending.

We
face significant challenges in order to achieve profitability and there can be no assurance that we will achieve or sustain positive cash flows from operations or profitability. The disruption of the capital markets and decline in economic
conditions could negatively impact our ability to achieve profitability or raise additional capital when needed and, accordingly, we may need to pursue a streamlined operating plan. Our streamlined operating plan could include, among other cost
cutting measures, reductions in marketing and capital expenditures, delaying new hires and being more selective in inventory purchases.

We
may reorganize our company, operations and product offerings which may cause us to incur losses. Our review of operations for additional opportunities to reduce costs may lead to changes in our sales, manufacturing and/or distribution structure.
Should we decide to pursue any such changes, we may incur additional charges and losses in connection with such changes in the future, and such charges and losses may be material.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We use certain accounting policies and
procedures to manage changes that occur in our business environment that may affect accounting estimates made in preparation of our financial statements. These estimates relate primarily to our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, provision
for inventory, stock-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Our strategy for managing doubtful accounts includes stringent, centralized credit policies and collection procedures for all customer accounts. We use a credit risk rating
system in order to measure the quality of individual credit transactions. We strive to identify potential problem receivables early, take appropriate collection actions, and maintain adequate reserve levels. Our strategy for providing for inventory
obsolescence includes the evaluation of existing inventory usage and realizable value. Typically, no provision is recorded for inventory items that are currently used and sold within one year of purchase. We believe that our allowance for doubtful
accounts and provision for inventory obsolescence were adequate at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The Company records goodwill as the
excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. FASB ASC 350 Intangibles  Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), prescribes a two-step process for annual impairment testing of goodwill. The
first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment. We performed the impairment test prescribed by ASC 350 and determined that no impairment was necessary for the year ended December 31, 2010. For the
year ended December 31, 2009, we determined that a revaluation was required for the intangible assets acquired in the 2007 acquisition of our wholly owned subsidiary Advanced Lighting Systems, LLC. The Company determined the fair value of the
intangible assets and recorded an impairment charge totaling approximately $737,000, which is included in discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

We account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718 Compensation-Stock
Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is
typically the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating volatility and expected lives. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of share-based
awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from our estimates, our results of operations could be materially impacted.

As a result of the sale of our Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses in October 2010, we reorganized our reporting structure into two reportable segments: LED replacement lamps and LED signage
and lighting strips. Our operations are principally managed on a product basis. The Array product line consists of white light LED replacement lamps. The Lumificient product line consists of LED signage and lighting strips.

Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement

On June 18, 2009, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the Note Purchase Agreement), with a limited number of accredited investors. Pursuant to the Note Purchase
Agreement, we sold an aggregate of $3,800,000 in principal amount of secured promissory notes (the Notes) and 285,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.43 per share, expiring three years after
issuance. The Notes were payable in full on January 5, 2011 and incurred simple interest at the rate of 10% per year. The interest was payable a year after the closing date and at maturity. The Notes were secured by all of our assets.

In the first quarter of 2010, we repaid the principal and accrued interest outstanding on the Notes in full. Pursuant to the Note Purchase
Agreement, we have issued to the noteholders 196,766 additional warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.43 per share, expiring three years after the date of the warrants.

Preferred Stock and Warrants; Exchange Notes

On October 29, 2009, we entered into an agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with the holders (the Preferred Shareholders) of all of our outstanding Series A preferred stock,
$.001 par value per share (the Series A preferred stock), including certain of our directors or entities affiliated with such directors, to exchange all 1,571.15 outstanding shares of our Series A preferred stock for other securities
(the Exchange). The Exchange was contingent upon consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, as such term is defined in the Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the holders of the Series A preferred stock waived
receipt of dividend payments on the Series A preferred stock and dividends in excess of 10% per annum until the earlier of the Exchange Date (as such term is defined in the Exchange Agreement), the termination of a Qualified Public Offering, or
May 1, 2010. Also on October 29, 2009, we filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a proposed follow-on offering of our common stock (the Follow-on Offering), which closed on
December 21, 2009.

The Exchange was affected simultaneously with the closing of the Follow-on Offering. Preferred Shareholders holding
an aggregate of 1,091.15 shares of Series A preferred stock elected to receive an aggregate of 1,731,994 shares of common stock in the Exchange. The number of shares of common stock delivered in the Exchange was determined by dividing approximately
$5,456,000 (which represented the stated value of the Series A preferred stock exchanged for common stock) by the greater of (i) $3.15 or (ii) the $3.00 per share public offering price in the Follow-on Offering.

---

The Preferred Shareholders holding the remaining 480 shares of Series A preferred stock, which had a stated
value of $2,400,000, were entities affiliated with Mariner Private Equity, LLC, of which Patrick Doherty, one of our directors, is president, and Michael Brown, one of our directors. In the Exchange, these Preferred Shareholders received convertible
promissory notes (the Exchange Notes) with an aggregate principal amount of $2,400,000 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 935,040 shares of our common stock (the Exchange Warrants). The Exchange Notes bear interest at
1% per annum, mature three years from the date of issuance and are convertible into 450,281 shares of common stock at a fixed conversion price of $5.33. The Exchange Warrants have an exercise price of $5.08 and expire three years from issuance.
There are no price-based anti-dilution provisions in the Exchange Notes or Exchange Warrants.

Operating Lease Obligations

On November 30, 2006, we entered into a five year operating lease agreement with EastGroup Properties, L.P., an unrelated party
(Eastgroup). Pursuant to the lease, on April 1, 2007, we relocated to approximately 34,000 square feet of office, distribution and light manufacturing space at a new location in Orlando, Florida, which we used for our Orlando
operations facility. Base rent under the lease started on April 1, 2007 at monthly payments of $19,486 for the first twelve-month period and increases annually by 3.5% thereafter. In addition to base rent, we are required to pay our pro rata
share of the propertys operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance and non-structural repairs. The lease provides for a security deposit of $28,576. Pursuant to this lease, Eastgroup provided a credit of $269,160 for tenant
improvements. This amount has been recorded as deferred rent on our consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized straight-line as a reduction of rent expense over the life of the lease. On July 31, 2009, we entered into an amendment to
the lease agreement which reduced base rent by approximately $700 per month for the period of August 2009 through March 2010.

On
October 28, 2010, we sold to Next Step Products, LLC (Next Step) substantially all of the assets of our Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses, which were operated from our Orlando facility. In addition, we entered into a
sublease agreement to sublet a portion of the facility to Next Step for six to nine months from the date of the sale, unless extended by mutual agreement. We will continue to use the remainder of the Orlando facility for certain administrative
functions for an indeterminable amount of time.

On February 27, 2007, we entered into a five year operating lease agreement with Floyd
Smith Office Park, LLC, commencing approximately June 1, 2007 for our corporate headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. We originally leased approximately 2,100 square feet of office space for a gross rental rate of $3,400 per month
including build-out, power and water utilities and our pro rata share of the propertys operating expenses, property taxes, insurance and non-structural repairs. After the initial twelve-month period, the rent increases annually by 3.0%. The
lease provides for a security deposit of $3,400. On August 24, 2007, we leased an additional 3,000 square feet in this facility for an additional gross rental rate of $4,972 per month on the same basis and with the same provisions as the
original lease with an additional security deposit of $4,972.

Lumificient has entered into an operating lease with Schany Family Limited
Partnership for approximately 13,200 square feet of office and warehouse space. We acquired Lumificient on April 30, 2008. Base rent under the lease at April 30, 2008 was $5,202 per month and increases 2% annually each July. In addition to
base rent, Lumificient is required to pay its pro rata share of the propertys operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance and non-structural repairs. The lease had a termination date of February 28, 2010. On December 28,
2009, Lumificient entered into a lease extension agreement with Schany Family Limited Partnership that extends the lease until February 28, 2013. Base rent under the lease at March 1, 2010 is $5,412 and increases 2% annually each March.

Related Party Funding for Collection Activities

On November 18, 1999, we filed a lawsuit (case number CI-99-9392) (the Lawsuit) in the Circuit Court of the 9th Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County Florida against various
defendants (the Wu Defendants). We were also pursuing litigation against certain parties related to the Wu Defendants (the Related Litigation). In June 2003, the Court issued an order of final judgment against all parties in
the Lawsuit. Pursuant to the final judgment, we were awarded $38,405,978 and further awarded an additional amount for legal fees and costs of $834,297. As of the date of entry of the final judgment, these amounts began accruing interest at a rate of
six percent per year. As of December 31, 2010, the total amount due including estimated accrued interest was approximately $60 million. We believe that the monetary judgment awarded in the Lawsuit, and any amounts that may be awarded in the
Related Litigation, will be very difficult and costly to collect, if collectable at all. We may not be successful in collecting any amounts awarded in the Lawsuit or that may be awarded in the Related Litigation. We had an agreement with Brett M.
Kingstone, our former chairman of the board (the Participation Agreement) regarding funding for collection activities in the Lawsuit or Related Litigation (the Collection Activities). Mr. Kingstone had the option of
providing personal funds (Kingstone Funds), or arranging for funds from third parties (Third Party Funds), to pursue Collection Activities. As of December 31, 2007, Mr. Kingstone had provided $350,000 in the form of a Letter of
Credit, and arranged for $350,000 of Third Party Funds, to further the Collection Activities. The Kingstone Funds and Third Party Funds were subsequently returned after being used for bonding in connection with Collection Activities.
Mr. Kingstone also



28



---

notified us that he had available, on a standby basis, up to an additional $3,000,000 of bonding capacity to pursue further Collection Activities. In consideration for providing Kingstone Funds
and/or Third Party Funds for Collection Activities, and pursuant to the transition agreement between the Company and Mr. Kingstone dated September 9, 2005, we had agreed to pay Mr. Kingstone 50% of amounts we actually received from
all Collection Activities less all costs and expenses incurred from time to time by us in connection with the Lawsuit, the Related Litigation and the Collection Activities, which had not been recovered. To date, we have incurred approximately
$581,000 in fees and have recovered $830,000 from Collection Activities. Of the $830,000 recovered, Mr. Kingstone has been paid a total of $263,500 pursuant to the Participation Agreement. We and Mr. Kingstone terminated the Participation
Agreement in March 2009. Pursuant to an Assignment Agreement dated March 26, 2009 between us and B&M Kingstone, LLC (B&M), an affiliate of Mr. Kingstone, we assigned the final judgment in the Lawsuit to B&M in
consideration for $50,000 and 15% of amounts actually received by B&M from Collection Activities in connection with the Lawsuit and Related Litigation, after expenses. B&M has also agreed to indemnify us against any liabilities arising out
of Collection Activities. The obligations of B&M under the assignment agreement are guaranteed by Mr. Kingstone.

Purchase
Obligations

We are not a party to any significant long-term service or supply contracts. We refrain from entering into any long-term
purchase commitments in the ordinary course of business.

|Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures.
|-------- | ------------------------

We maintain
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Furthermore, our controls and procedures can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting
for our company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of our assets are made in accordance with managements authorization; and providing
reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Furthermore, our controls and procedures can be circumvented by the individual acts of
some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.

Management conducted its evaluation of the effectiveness of our companys internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its evaluation, management concluded that our companys internal control over financial reporting was effective at a reasonable assurance level as of
December 31, 2010.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
December 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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

ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 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 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 audit provides 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 Nexxus
Lighting, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NEXXUS LIGHTING, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2010



|1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
|-- | -------------------------------------------

Business  In April 2007, the Company changed its name from Super Vision International, Inc. to Nexxus Lighting, Inc. Nexxus Lighting, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Lumificient
Corporation (Lumificient) design, manufacture, market and sell high performance, commercial grade, light emitting diode (LED) replacement light bulbs and LED-based signage, channel letter and contour lighting products in the
commercial, hospitality, entertainment, institutional, retail and sign markets.

In order to reduce operating expenses and
increase synergies between its businesses, the Company made a strategic decision during 2008 to integrate the operations of its other wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Lighting Systems, LLC, with the Companys legacy commercial business in
Orlando, Florida in the first quarter of 2009.

On October 28, 2010, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of
its legacy commercial/architectural lighting and pool and spa lighting businesses (the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses). The Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses consisted of the manufacture, marketing and sale
of LED and fiber optic lighting products used for applications in commercial, architectural and pool and spa markets, excluding the Array business and the business of Lumificient. The divestiture of these businesses fits with the Companys
strategic plans to focus resources on its Array replacement lamp and Lumificient businesses. The financial condition and results of operations of the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for
all periods presented.

The Company markets and sells LED products through its Array Lighting division and through its
subsidiary, Lumificient. During 2010, the Company recruited a team of industry-experienced sales professionals dedicated to promoting and selling the Array brand of LED light bulbs through the Companys network of lighting agencies. These
independent lighting agencies provide assistance in the lighting specification process, provide local customer and project management support and direct the customer to purchase products from the Company. Array replacement lamps also are sold
through independent energy savings companies which assist customers with improved energy usage. Lumificient products are sold primarily through independent local sign and lighting manufacturers and distributors, as well as select national accounts.

Principles of consolidation  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nexxus
Lighting, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Advanced Lighting Systems, LLC and Lumificient (collectively, the Company). All of the operations of Advanced Lighting Systems, LLC were consolidated with other Company operations in the first
quarter of 2009. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standard Codification (Codification) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. This statement replaces SFAS 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and establishes the Codification
as the source of authoritative accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Codification does not replace or affect guidance issued by the SEC or its staff. As
a result of the Codification, the references to authoritative accounting pronouncements included herein in this Annual Report on Form 10-K now refer to the Codification topic section rather than a specific accounting rule as was past practice.

Revenue recognition  Generally, the Company recognizes revenue for its products upon shipment to
customers, provided no significant obligations remain and collection is probable. For sales that include customer acceptance terms, revenue is recorded after customer acceptance. Our products typically carry a warranty that ranges from two to five
years and includes replacement of defective parts. A warranty reserve is recorded for estimated costs associated with potential warranty expenses on previous sales.

Financial instruments  In September 2006, the FASB introduced a
framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and
the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an
asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value
hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are
based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2010. The Company uses the market approach to measure fair value for its Level 1 financial assets and liabilities, which includes
cash equivalents of approximately $5 million and $15 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical assets or
liabilities. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, trade receivables, related party payables, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.

On December 21, 2009, the Company issued $2,400,000 in principal amount of convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 935,040 shares of the Companys common stock in exchange for 480 shares of outstanding Series A preferred Stock (Note 6). The convertible promissory notes were valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3).

On June 18, 2009, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (Note 7). The promissory notes issued pursuant to
the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement were valued using observable inputs other than quoted prices (Level 2).

On
January 1, 2009, the Company applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Companys non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill
and other intangible assets. Goodwill impairment was measured on a nonrecurring basis using the income approach, which utilizes inputs classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (Note 5).

Derivative financial instrumentsThe Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to
cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible preferred stock and convertible promissory note instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under FASB ASC
815 Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued
at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.

Freestanding
warrants issued by the Company in connection with the issuance or sale of debt and equity instruments are considered to be derivative instruments, and are evaluated and accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815. Pursuant to ASC 815,
an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.

---

Beneficial conversion and warrant valuation  In accordance with FASB ASC
470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company records a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) related to the issuance of convertible debt or preferred stock instruments that have conversion features at fixed rates
that are in-the-money when issued, and the fair value of warrants issued in connection with those instruments. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds to warrants, based on their
relative fair value, and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The discount recorded in connection with the BCF and warrant valuation is recognized as
non-cash implied preferred dividends from the date of issuance to the earliest conversion date, using the effective yield method.

Cash equivalents  Temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable  Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs
continuing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that it believes to be uncollectible. Recovery of bad debt amounts previously
written off is recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense in the period the payment is collected. If the Companys actual collection experience changes, revisions to its allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable
have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

Inventories  Inventories, excluding
inventories at Lumificient Corporation, are stated at the lower of cost (average cost) or market. Inventories at Lumificient Corporation are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. A reserve is recorded for any inventory deemed
excessive or obsolete.

Property and equipment  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired
are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:



|                        |  |                        |            | 
|----------------------- |  | ---------------------- | ---------- | 
|                        |  | Estimateduseful 
lives |           
|Machinery and equipment |  |                        | 3-20 years | 
|Furniture and fixtures  |  |                        | 5-7 years  | 
|Computers and software  |  |                        | 3-7 years  | 
|Leasehold improvements  |  |                        | 5 years    | 

Intangible
assets and goodwill  The Company accounts for its intangible assets and goodwill under FASB ASC 350 Intangibles  Goodwill and Other (ASC 350) and FASB ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment.

Other intangible assets consists of identifiable intangible assets purchased in the 2008 acquisition of Lumificient, costs for
patents and trademarks and costs associated with product safety certifications (UL certifications) and Energy Star certifications. We amortize the cost of other intangibles on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortizable
intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. The Company performs an annual impairment assessment for goodwill as of the
last day of each fiscal year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting
unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined using both the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, the Company determines
fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, the Company relied on the capital asset
pricing model approach which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publically traded stocks, the Companys risk relative to the overall market, the Companys size and industry and other Company
specific risks. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approach uses key multiples from
guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting units carrying amount exceeds its fair value,
then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair
value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting units assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit
had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use
of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that the Companys estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill
impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If the Companys assumptions regarding forecasted revenue or margin growth rates of certain reporting units are not achieved or changes in strategy or market conditions
occur, the Company may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in future periods. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material.

As a result of the sale of the Companys Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses in October of 2010, the Company
reorganized its reporting structure into two reportable segments: LED replacement lamps and LED signage and lighting strips. Pursuant to ASC 350, the Company reassigned the goodwill associated with the acquisition of Lumificient to the reporting
units using a relative fair value allocation approach. The Company assigned $1,988,920 of goodwill to the LED replacement lamps segment and $407,369 of goodwill to the LED signage and lighting strips segment.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company completed its annual impairment test for the goodwill associated with the
acquisition of Lumificient in 2008. The Company determined that the estimated fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying amount and a 10% decrease in fair value for the reporting units would not have resulted in failure of Step 1 test
described above.

Deferred rent The Company accounts for certain operating leases containing predetermined
fixed increases of the base rental rate during the lease term as rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has recorded the difference between the amounts charged to operations and amounts payable under the leases as
deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Long lived assets  The Company periodically
evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, based on expected undiscounted cash flows and will recognize impairment of the carrying value of long-lived assets, if
any is indicated, based on the fair value of such assets.

Shipping and handling costs  Shipping and
handling costs related to the acquisition of goods from vendors are included in cost of sales.

Research and
development  Research and development costs to develop new products are charged to expense as incurred.

Advertising  Advertising costs, included in selling, general and administrative expenses, are expensed when the
advertising first takes place. The Company promotes its product lines primarily through print media and trade shows, including trade publications, and promotional brochures. Advertising expenses were approximately $298,000 and $102,000 for the years
ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income taxes  Income taxes are provided for the tax
effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences. Such temporary differences result from differences in the carrying value of assets and
liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or
settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (ASC 740-10), on January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been
provided since there is no unrecognized benefit since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would
recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

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

Loss per
share  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially
dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of outstanding convertible securities. In periods in which a net loss has been
incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered antidilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had 7,649,345 and 7,369,661, respectively, common shares which may be acquired
pursuant to outstanding employee stock options, warrants and convertible securities that were not included in the computation of loss per share at December 31, 2010 and 2009 because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-based compensation  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718
Compensation  Stock Compensation (ASC 718), which requires the recognition of the cost of employee or director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured
based on the grant date fair value of the award. ASC 718 also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (typically, the vesting
period).

The Company estimates the fair value of each option award issued under its stock option plans on the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted below in accordance with ASC 718. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of its common stock. These
historical periods may exclude portions of time when unusual transactions occurred. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and
post-vesting forfeitures. For shares that vest contingent upon achievement of certain performance criteria, an estimate of the probability of achievement is applied in the estimate of fair value. If the goals are not met, no compensation cost is
recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term approximately equal to the
expected life of the award. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company separates the grants into homogeneous groups and
analyzes the assumptions for each group. The Company then computes the expense for each group utilizing these assumptions.

Under ASC 718,
stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $318,108 and $388,910, respectively, which caused net loss to increase by that amount and basic and
diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders for 2010 and 2009 to increase by $0.02 and $0.04, respectively.

Business Segments  Pursuant to FASB ASC 280 Segment Reporting, the Company is required to report segment
information. As a result of the sale of the Companys Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses in October of 2010, the Company reorganized its reporting structure into two reportable segments: LED replacement lamps and LED signage and
lighting strips.

Major suppliers  The Company made purchases from two major suppliers representing
approximately 26% and 18% of total net purchases for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to purchases from two major suppliers representing approximately 33% and 15% of total net purchases for the year ending December 31, 2009.

Recent accounting pronouncements  In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This amendment requires separate disclosure of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and the reasons for the transfers. The
amended guidance also requires that in the Level 3 reconciliation, the information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements be disclosed separately on a gross basis rather than as one net number. The guidance for the Level 1 and 2
disclosures was adopted on January 1, 2010 and did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The guidance for the activity in Level 3 disclosures is effective January 1,
2011.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events. Under this amended guidance, SEC
filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB concluded that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and should be included in the computation of earnings
per share under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that is used to determine earnings per share for each class of common stock according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed
earnings. The Company adopted the new guidance beginning in 2009. The adoption of the new guidance did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB amended the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset and added certain disclosures to those already prescribed, which became effective on January 1, 2009. The guidance for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets
acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of the effective date. The adoption of the new requirements did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB amended existing disclosure requirements related to derivative and hedging
activities, which became effective for our Company on January 1, 2009, and are being applied prospectively. As a result of the amended disclosure requirements, the Company is required to provide expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures
about derivatives and hedging activities in each interim and annual period. The adoption of the new disclosure requirements had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



47



---

In December 2007, the FASB amended its guidance on accounting for business combinations. The
new accounting guidance resulted in a change in our accounting policy effective January 1, 2009, and is being applied prospectively to all business combinations subsequent to the effective date. Among other things, the new guidance amends the
principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. It also establishes
new disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption of this new accounting policy did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, and the
impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements in future periods will depend on the nature and size of business combinations completed subsequent to the date of adoption.



|2. | ACQUISITIONS:
|-- | -------------

Advanced Lighting Systems, LLC  On September 28, 2007, Advanced Lighting Systems, Inc., which was headquartered
in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, was merged with and into the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Lighting Systems, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (ALS), pursuant to an agreement dated August 3, 2007.

In order to reduce operating expenses and increase synergies between its businesses, the Company made a strategic decision in the fourth
quarter of 2008 to integrate the operations of ALS with its legacy commercial business operations in Orlando, Florida. In March 2009, the Company closed ALS Sauk Centre facility and transferred production to its Orlando facility and to
existing third party manufacturers. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a restructuring and impairment charge that included a $565,500 liability for the settlement of a related party office lease and certain severance
obligations, which was paid by issuing 78,000 shares of the Companys common stock in 2009.

Lumificient
Corporation  On April 30, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Lumificient Corporation, a Minnesota corporation. This acquisition expanded the Companys intellectual property portfolio, including
advanced technology for LED products, and enhanced the Companys research and development capabilities. The Lumificient stock purchase agreement included contractual earn-out obligations for the years ended December 31, 2009
and December 31, 2008, provided that Lumificient achieved certain performance milestones. In 2009, the Company issued 59,000 shares of common stock valued at $297,242 to the selling shareholders of Lumificient for achievement of 2008
performance milestones. The performance milestones for 2009 were not achieved. In addition, the Lumificient stock purchase agreement included a $200,000 indemnity holdback for possible future claims, of which $100,000 was due and paid by
March 31, 2009 and $100,000 was due and paid by March 31, 2010.



|3. | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
|-- | ------------------------

On October 28, 2010, the Company signed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Next Step Products, LLC
(the Buyer). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold substantially all of the assets (the Asset Sale) of the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses. The financial condition and results of operations of
the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer paid $1.0 million in cash in connection with closing the Asset Sale and agreed to pay
approximately $1.3 million over the seven month period ending May 28, 2011. Of the total purchase price of approximately $2.3 million, approximately $1.3 million accounted for the purchase of inventory.

The $1.0 million portion of the purchase price paid in connection with closing included $750,000 of non-refundable deposits previously
paid by the Buyer. Subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and a secured promissory note, the remaining approximately $1.3 million was to be paid to the Company over the seven month period ending May 28, 2011 as the Buyer sold the
purchased inventory, with 50% of the agreed upon value of the inventory being paid no later than February 28, 2011 and the balance being paid no later than May 28, 2011. As of March 4, 2011, the $1.3 million balance of the purchase
price was paid in full. In addition, the Buyer assumed certain liabilities related to the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses.

The former President of the Companys pool and spa lighting division, is an officer and
member of the Buyer. The terms of the Purchase Agreement and the amount of the consideration to be paid with respect to the Asset Sale were negotiated by the Company and the Buyer on an arms-length basis.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer acquired substantially all of the assets of the Companys Legacy Commercial and Pool
Lighting Businesses including (i) certain inventory, (ii) certain accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, (iii) certain computers, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and (iv) ownership of or the right to use certain trademarks,
patents, copyrights and other intellectual property used or held for use in, or otherwise related to, the conduct of the Companys Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses. The Buyer has assumed all of the warranty obligations of the
Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses, whether arising before or after closing, and other specified liabilities of the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses, including certain accounts payable.

The Company has made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement. Both the Company and the Buyer have
agreed to indemnify the other party against certain losses, subject to certain limitations. In addition, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to a non-competition covenant for a period of two years after closing,
except with respect to the Companys Array business or the business of Lumificient Corporation (as such businesses were being conducted prior to the closing and as such businesses develop after closing). Simultaneously with the closing of the
Asset Sale, the Company and the Buyer also entered into a sublease for a portion of the space leased by the Company at its Orlando, Florida facility for a period of no less than six months and no greater than nine months.

The components of discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

The Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses include the results of ALS, which was integrated with the
operations of the Companys legacy commercial business during 2009 (Note 2).

For the year ended December 31, 2009,
as a result of a decline in sales and reforecasted expected future cash flows of ALS, the Company performed the impairment test prescribed by FASB ASC 350 and determined that a revaluation was required for the intangible assets acquired in the 2007
acquisition. The Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $612,632, which represented all of the remaining goodwill recognized during the Companys 2007 acquisition of ALS. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment charge of
$124,003 related to customer relationships acquired in the 2007 acquisition. These impairment charges are included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. To determine the
fair value of the intangible assets, the Company used the relief from royalty method for the trademarks, an excess earnings method for the customer relationships, and an income approach method for the non-compete agreement.

|6. | CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND WARRANTS:
|-- | ------------------------------------------

On December 21, 2009, the Company issued $2,400,000 in principal of convertible promissory notes (the Exchange Notes) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 935,040 shares of the
Companys common stock (the Exchange Warrants) in exchange for 480 shares of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (the Exchange). The Exchange Warrants have an exercise price of $5.08 and expire three years from
issuance. There are no price-based anti-dilution provisions in the Exchange Notes or Exchange Warrants. See Note 8 for further discussion of the Exchange.



|7. | PROMISSORY NOTES AND WARRANTS:
|-- | ------------------------------

On June 18, 2009, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the Note Purchase Agreement), with a limited number of accredited investors. Pursuant to the Note
Purchase Agreement, the Company sold an aggregate of $3,800,000 in principal amount of secured promissory notes (the Notes) and 285,000 warrants (the Note Warrants) to purchase shares of the Companys common stock. The
Notes were payable in full on January 5, 2011 and incurred simple interest at the rate of 10.0% per year. The interest was payable a year after the closing date and at maturity. The Notes were secured by all of the assets of the Company.

The Note Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $6.43 per share and expire three years after the date of
issuance. Note Warrants to purchase 0.075 shares of the Companys common stock were issued for each $1.00 in principal amount of the Notes sold to each purchaser. The Note Purchase Agreement requires additional warrants (the Additional
Warrants) to be issued at the earlier of a year after the issuance date of the Notes, or the date on which the principal and interest on the Notes is paid in full. The Additional Warrants accrued ratably over the 365 day period at a rate of
7.5% of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, and otherwise carry the same terms as the Note Warrants issued upon closing of the Note Purchase Agreement. If the Notes remained outstanding for a
year, 285,000 Additional Warrants were to be issued. If the Notes, or a portion of the Notes, were redeemed prior to one year after the date the Notes were issued, the number of Additional Warrants issued were to be prorated for the time the Notes
are outstanding.

Using a simulation model of discounted cash flows, the relative fair value of the Notes was calculated to be
$3,229,675. The fair value of the Note Warrants and Additional Warrants was calculated to be $570,325. The fair value of the Note Warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: Expected life in years: 3;
Estimated volatility: 30%; Risk-free interest rate: 1.86%; Dividend yield: 0%. The fair value of the Additional Warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with a probability matrix for the number of warrants issued and the vesting date of
the warrants: Expected life in years: 3; Estimated volatility: 30%; Dividend yield: 0%; Risk-free interest rate: weighted average based on the time to expiration with the 5 year US Treasury bill rate of 2.86%.

The proceeds from the Notes have been discounted for the relative fair value of the Note Warrants and Additional Warrants of $570,325,
which was recorded as additional paid-in capital. The discount is being amortized over the life of the Notes using the effective interest method. For the year ended December 31, 2010, $55,433 of the discount was amortized to interest expense.

The Company incurred $196,353 of debt issuance costs which is being amortized over the life of the Notes using the effective
interest method. The Company issued 20,684 shares of common stock to the placement agent for services in connection with the private placement of the Notes. The Company estimated the fair value of the services received to be $133,000, based on the
agreement with the placement agent. For the year ended December 31, 2010, $19,293 of the debt issuance costs was amortized to interest expense.

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company repaid the principal and $262,356 of accrued interest outstanding on the Notes in full. Pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Company issued
196,766 Additional Warrants on February 25, 2010. The Additional Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $6.43 per share and expire three years after the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has
expensed $113,954 of unamortized debt issuance costs and $327,787 of unamortized discount, resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $441,741.

The holders of the Notes included certain directors or entities affiliated with them. Patrick Doherty, one of the Companys directors, is president of Mariner Private Equity, LLC. The Company owed
entities affiliated with Mariner Private Equity, LLC, $1,500,000 in principal and $103,562 in accrued interest. The Company owed Michael Brown, one of the Companys directors, $100,000 in principal and $6,904 in accrued interest.

|8. | PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS:
|-- | -----------------------------

At December 31, 2010, the Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 3,000 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock.

On November 11, 2008, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the Stock Purchase
Agreement) with a limited number of accredited investors. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Series A convertible preferred stock (the Preferred Stock) and warrants in a private placement, for aggregate
consideration of $7,855,776 (before issuance costs incurred in 2008 of $390,513), consisting of $3,974,600 in cash, cancellation of $3,592,630 in principal and accrued interest on the Companys secured promissory notes and $288,546 as
compensation for issuance costs in lieu of cash. The net proceeds were used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including supporting the launch of new products.

The Company issued 1,513.44 units of Preferred Stock and warrants (Preferred Stock Units) at a stated value of $5,000 per unit for an aggregate consideration of $7,567,230. Each unit consisted
of one share of Series A convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 750 shares of common stock (totaling 1,135,083 common shares under warrants) at an exercise price of $6.40 per share expiring three years from the date of issuance. An
additional 57.71 units were issued to the placement agent, consisting of 57.71 shares of Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 43,282 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $6.40 per share. As the Preferred Stock was not redeemed prior
to one year after the closing date of the transaction, warrants to purchase 750 additional shares of the Companys common stock per unit were issued. In total, the holders of Preferred Stock were issued warrants to purchase a total of 1,500
shares of common stock for each Preferred Stock Unit (collectively, the Preferred Warrants), for a total of 2,356,732 common shares under warrants.

Preferred Stock Units Issued for Cash -The Company issued 794.92 Preferred Stock Units for cash consideration of $3,974,600. The Company calculated an effective conversion rate which gives
effect to the allocation of proceeds from the transactions to the warrants on a relative fair value basis. The Company allocated the proceeds based on the relative fair values of the Preferred Stock and the Preferred Warrants. Using a simulation
model of discounted cash flows, the relative fair value of the Preferred Warrants was estimated to be $1,806,837 on the date of issue, which is recorded in additional paid-in capital. The total allocated to the Preferred Stock was $2,167,763, of
which $1,806,838 was allocated to the beneficial conversion feature and is recorded in additional paid-in capital. A beneficial conversion feature is recorded when the consideration allocated to the convertible security, divided by the number of
common shares into which the security converts, is below the fair value of the common stock at the date of issuance of the convertible instruments.

Preferred Stock Units Exchanged for Promissory Notes -In exchange for the cancellation of $3,500,000 in principal amount of secured promissory notes and $92,630 of accrued interest relating
to the promissory notes, the Company issued 718.53 Preferred Stock Units. The fair value of the Preferred Stock Units was determined using a simulation model of discounted cash flows and was estimated to be $5,000 per unit, for a total gross fair
value of $3,592,630 on the date of issue. The Company estimated the fair value of the Preferred Warrants to total $1,633,195. The gross fair value of the Preferred Stock totaled $1,959,435, of which $1,633,195 was allocated to the beneficial
conversion feature and is recorded in additional paid-in capital.

Preferred Stock Units Issued to the Placement
Agent -The Company issued 57.71 Preferred Stock Units to the placement agent in exchange for services received. The Company estimated the fair value of the services received to be $288,546, based on the agreement with the placement agent.
Using a simulation model of discounted cash flows, the fair value of the Preferred Warrants was estimated to be $131,172 on the date of issue, which is recorded in additional paid-in capital. The total allocated to the Preferred Stock was $157,374,
of which $131,172 was allocated to the beneficial conversion feature and is recorded in additional paid-in capital.

The
Preferred Stock was redeemable by the Company at any time and the holders were initially entitled to cumulative dividends at the rate of 8% per annum, increasing to 10% commencing 180 days after the date of issuance and 16% commencing 360 days
after the date of issuance. The dividends were payable in cash, with an initial payment date of November 1, 2009. At the option of the holder, the preferred stock was convertible at any time commencing four years after issuance into shares of
common stock at a conversion rate equal to the market price of the Companys common stock at the time of the conversion or $6.59, whichever is greater.

---

Following the allocation of the beneficial conversion features and Preferred Warrants above,
the Company considered the probability that the Preferred Stock holders would convert to common stock. The Preferred Stock was redeemable by the Company at any time and a percentage was redeemable at the option of the holder if the Company raised
equity capital in excess of $5,000,000. Although the Preferred Stock did not have a stated maturity provision, the Company believed the conversion to common stock or redemption of the Preferred Stock, was more likely than not. As a result, the
Company will recognize the amount by which the stated value of the preferred stock exceeded the carrying value as a deemed dividend. The excess of the stated value of the preferred stock over the carrying value of $7,142,409 was recorded as a charge
to additional paid-in capital in our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Equity, as the Company had an accumulated deficit on the date of the transaction. This deemed distribution is recorded as an accretion to the Preferred Stock over the
four-year period from the date of issuance to the earliest conversion date using the effective yield method. For the year-ended December 31, 2009, $613,743 of the deemed distribution has been recognized as a return to the preferred shareholders
and has been reflected as an adjustment to the net loss attributable to common stockholders on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On October 29, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with the holders (the Preferred Shareholders) of all of its outstanding Preferred Stock
including certain of its directors or entities affiliated with such directors, to exchange all 1,571.15 outstanding shares of Preferred Stock for other securities of the Company (the Exchange). The Exchange was contingent upon
consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, as such term is defined in the Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the holders of the Preferred Stock waived receipt of dividend payments on the Preferred Stock and dividends in excess
of 10% per annum until the earlier of the Exchange Date (as such term is defined in the Exchange Agreement), the termination of a Qualified Public Offering, or May 1, 2010. Also on October 29, 2009, the Company filed a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a proposed follow-on offering of its common stock (the Follow-on Offering), which closed on December 21, 2009.

The Exchange was affected simultaneously with the closing of the Follow-on Offering. Preferred Shareholders holding an aggregate of
1,091.15 shares of Preferred Stock elected to receive common stock in the Exchange (Option 1 Exchange). The number of shares of common stock delivered in the Exchange, amounting to 1,731,994, was determined by dividing $5,455,750 (which
represented the stated value of the Preferred Stock being exchanged for common stock) by the greater of (i) $3.15 or (ii) the $3.00 per share public offering price in the Follow-on Offering. The Preferred Shareholders holding the remaining
480 shares of Preferred Stock, which had a stated value of $2,400,000, were entities affiliated with Mariner Private Equity, LLC, of which Patrick Doherty, one of the Companys directors, is president, and Michael Brown, one of the
Companys directors. In the Exchange, these Preferred Shareholders received convertible promissory notes (the Exchange Notes) with an aggregate principal amount of $2,400,000 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 935,040 shares
of the Companys common stock (the Exchange Warrants) (Option 2 Exchange). The Exchange Notes bear interest at 1% per annum, mature three years from the date of issuance and are convertible into 450,281 shares of
common stock at a fixed conversion price of $5.33. The Exchange Warrants have an exercise price of $5.08 and expire three years from issuance. There are no price-based anti-dilution provisions in the Exchange Notes or Exchange Warrants. On
December 21, 2009, the Company paid all outstanding dividends on the Preferred Stock totaling $792,124.

Option
1  The Option 1 Exchange allowed the Preferred Shareholders to exchange their Preferred Stock for shares of the Companys common stock. The Option 1 Exchange meets the definition of an induced conversion as provided in current
accounting standards because it (i) provided conversion privileges which were exercisable only for a limited period of time or occurrence of a specific event, at the option of the holders, and (ii) it included the issuance of all of the
equity securities which were issuable pursuant to conversion privileges included in the terms of the original convertible contract upon its issuance. As a result, the excess of the fair value of the common stock issued in the Exchange over the
common stock equivalent value of the Preferred Stock was reflected as a charge to stockholders equity in a manner similar to that of a dividend. As the Company had an accumulated deficit at the time of the Exchange, the deemed dividend is
recorded to additional paid-in capital. In addition, the deemed dividend has been reflected as an addition to net loss in arriving at net loss attributable to common stockholders and loss per common share.



54



---

Option 2 - The Option 2 Exchange allowed those holders of Preferred Stock to
exchange their Preferred Stock for the Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants. The Option 2 Exchange did not meet the definition of an induced conversion as it did not result in the issuance of the equity securities which were issuable pursuant to
conversion privileges included in the terms of the Preferred Stock at issuance. Accordingly, the Option 2 Exchange is treated as redemption of the Preferred Stock which requires recognition of the excess of the fair value of the consideration issued
(the Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants) over the carrying value of the Preferred Stock, less issuance costs, as a return to the Preferred Shareholders. Similar to the accounting recognition provided for inducements, the amount of the excess is
treated in a manner similar to the treatment of dividends paid on preferred stock.

The following table illustrates the
components of the accounting for the Exchange:

The $3.70 fair value of the Companys common stock was derived from the active trading market for the
shares. The fair value of the Exchange Notes was estimated based upon the present value of their future cash flows, using credit risk adjusted rates, as enhanced by the fair value of the embedded conversion feature (ECF). Since the
Company does not have an established credit rating, the credit risk adjusted yield of 10.3% was determined by reference to comparable instruments in public markets. The fair value of the ECF was determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation
(MCS). MCS is an option-based model that embodies assumptions that would likely be considered by market participants who trade the financial instrument. In addition to more traditional assumptions, such as trading market values, trading
volatilities and risk-free rates, MCS assumptions include credit risk, interest risk and redemption considerations. The fair value of the Exchange Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique over the term to
contractual expiration. Significant assumptions included in these valuation techniques were as follows:

In evaluating the
accounting for the Exchange, the Company also considered current classification and measurement standards associated with the ECF and the Exchange Warrants. The ECF is an equity-linked feature that is not clearly and closely related to the risks of
the host debt instrument. However, current accounting standards afforded an exemption to bifurcation of the ECF because it is both indexed to the Companys own stock and otherwise met the definition of Conventional Convertible based upon the
fixed conversion price. The Exchange Warrants are both indexed to the Companys own stock and met all other conditions necessary for their classification in stockholders equity. Finally, the Companys consideration of whether a
beneficial conversion feature (BCF) was present in the hybrid debt agreement indicated that the effective conversion price was higher than the trading market price on the date of issuance. Accordingly, the Exchange Notes did not embody a
BCF.

The final value allocated to the Exchange Notes of $2,150,448 is less than the face value of
$2,472,000 on the issuance date. This original issue discount of $321,552 is being amortized through periodic charges to interest expense using the effective method. Amortization charges amounted to $102,397 during the year ended December 31,
2010.

|-------------------------- |  |  | --------- | 
|Employee Stock Options     |  |  | 670,355   | 
|Shares Subject to Warrants |  |  | 6,528,709 | 

On December 21,
2009, the Company closed a follow-on public offering of 5,750,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $3.00 per share. The aggregate amount of common shares sold reflects the exercise in full by the underwriters of their
option to purchase up to 750,000 additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments. The Company received aggregate proceeds of $15,687,662, net of issuance costs.

Stock warrants  The Company has 6,528,709 warrants outstanding in connection with the transactions described below and in Notes 6, 7 and 8.

The Company has granted a 10-year warrant (Kingstone Warrants) for 289,187 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of

September 9, 2005.

On December 7, 2006, the Company closed the private offering to a limited number of accredited
investors of approximately 40,360 units at a price of $223 per unit, resulting in gross cash subscriptions of approximately $9 million, and net proceeds to the Company of approximately $8,350,000 (the Private Placement). Each unit
consisted of 100 shares of common stock, a warrant to purchase 60 shares of common stock exercisable at $2.23 per share, expiring five years from the date of issuance (the Base Warrants) and a second warrant to purchase 15 shares of
common stock exercisable at $3.00 per share, expiring five years from the date of issuance (the Additional Warrants). The securities were sold solely to accredited investors in a private placement offering exempt from registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During the year ended December 31, 2008, all the outstanding Additional Warrants and 6,188 of the Base Warrants were exercised. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 0 and 340,973,
respectively, of the Base Warrants were exercised.

In connection with the Private Placement, the placement agent was paid
$630,000 in cash and received a warrant (the Placement Agent Warrant) to purchase 322,870 shares of the Companys Common Stock equal to 8% of the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate gross proceeds received by
the Company from the sale of units in the Private Placement, by (b) the exercise price of the Base Warrants issued to purchasers in the Private Placement. The Placement Agent Warrant has the same terms and conditions as the Base Warrants issued
to purchasers in the Private Placement. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the placement agent exercised 0 and 150,000, respectively, of the shares under the Placement Agent warrant.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement with purchasers of the
securities that contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The warrants issued in the Private Placement have a term of five years and contain customary provisions for adjustment to the exercise price in the event of stock splits,
combinations and dividends and, in the case of the Base Warrants, include certain cashless-exercise provisions.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company filed a registration statement with
the SEC covering the resale of shares of common stock sold in the Private Placement and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants sold in the Private Placement.

On June 26, 2008, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the 2008 Note Purchase Agreement), with a limited number of stockholders, all of which were accredited
investors. Pursuant to the 2008 Note Purchase Agreement, the Company sold an aggregate of $3,500,000 in principal amount of secured promissory notes (the 2008 Notes) and 218,750 warrants (the 2008 Promissory Note Warrants) to
purchase shares of the Companys common stock. On November 12, 2008, the 2008 Notes were exchanged for preferred stock and warrants (Note 8). The 2008 Promissory Note Warrants have an exercise price of $6.40 per share and expire three
years after the date of issuance.

|10. | STOCK OPTION PLANS:
|--- | -------------------

The
Company adopted a stock option plan in 1994 (the 1994 Plan) that provided for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, and reserved 450,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock for future issuance under
the plan. The option price must have been at least 100% of market value at the date of the grant and the options have a maximum term of 10 years. Options granted typically vest ratably over a three-year period or based on achievement of performance
criteria. The Company typically grants selected executives and other key employees share option awards, whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various departmental and company-wide performance goals including meeting sales targets and net profit
targets. As of December 31, 2010, options to purchase 18,000 shares of common stock were vested and exercisable under the 1994 Plan. The 1994 Plan terminated in 2004.

On September 18, 2003, the Company adopted a new stock option plan (the 2003 Plan) that provides for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, and reserved
450,000 additional shares of the Companys Common Stock for future issuance under the plan. The 2003 Plan was subsequently amended to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder to 670,000. During 2008, the 2003 Plan was
further amended to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance to 810,000. In the first quarter of 2010, the 2003 Plan was further amended to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder to 1,160,000.The option
price of incentive stock options must be at least 100% of market value at the date of the grant and incentive stock options have a maximum term of 10 years. Options granted typically vest ratably over a three-year period or based on achievement of
performance criteria. The Company typically grants selected executives and other key employees share option awards, whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various departmental and company-wide performance goals including meeting sales targets and
net profit targets. In March 2009, the Company amended the 2003 Plan to extend the post-service termination exercise period of nonstatutory stock options granted to directors for their service to the Company as directors from three months after the
directors termination date to the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. As of December 31, 2010, 562,318 shares of common stock were vested and exercisable under the 2003 Plan.

The average fair value of options granted at market during 2010 and 2009 was $2.38 and $4.85 per option, respectively. The total intrinsic
value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $2,300 and $112,570, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding options at December 31, 2010 was $42. At December 31, 2010, there
were 670,355 options outstanding under both plans.

34,000 square feet of office, distribution and light manufacturing space at a new location in Orlando, Florida, which the Company used for its Orlando operations facility. Base rent under the lease started on April 1, 2007 at monthly payments
of $19,486 for the first twelve-month period and increases annually by 3.5% thereafter. In addition to base rent, the Company is required to pay its pro rata share of the propertys operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance and

balance sheets and is being amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the life of the lease. On July 31, 2009, the Company entered into the first amendment to the lease agreement which reduced base rent by approximately $700 per month for
the period of August 2009 through March 2010.

(Next Step) substantially all of the assets of the Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses, which were operated from the Orlando facility. In addition, the Company entered into a sublease agreement to sublet a portion of the
facility to Next Step for six to nine months from the date of the sale. The Company will continue to use the remainder of the Orlando facility for certain administrative functions for an indeterminable amount of time.

On February 27, 2007, the Company entered into a five year operating lease agreement with Floyd Smith Office Park, LLC, commencing

build-out, power and water utilities and the Companys pro rata share of the propertys operating expenses, property taxes, insurance and non-structural repairs. After the initial twelve-month period, the rent increases annually by 3.0%.
The lease provides for a security deposit of $3,400. On August 24, 2007, the Company leased an additional 3,000 square feet in this facility for an additional gross rental rate of $4,972 per month on the same basis and with the same provisions
as the original lease with an additional security deposit of $4,972.

|12. | CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS:
|--- | ------------------------------

The Companys financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and accounts payable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with
high credit quality institutions. At times such balances may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

A portion of the
Companys LEDs and LED lighting products and systems are manufactured by select third party manufacturers. While the Company believes alternative manufacturers for the production of these products are available, the Company has selected these
particular manufacturers based on their ability to consistently produce these products per the Companys specifications ensuring the best quality product at the most cost effective price.

The Company depends on these manufacturers to satisfy performance and quality specifications and to dedicate sufficient production
capacity for finished products within scheduled delivery times. Accordingly, the loss of one or more of these manufacturers or delays in obtaining shipments could have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations until such time as an
alternative manufacturer could be found.

|--- | -------------

As of
December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $29,923,000 and $17,547,000, respectively, which expire between 2010 and 2030. As of December 31, 2009, the
Company had net operating loss carry forwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $22,583,000 and $17,329,000, respectively. Generally, these can be carried forward and applied against future taxable income. However, as a
result of stock offerings and stock issued in connection with the acquisitions, the Companys use of these NOLs may be limited under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company has not
evaluated the implications of Section 382 on its ability to utilize some or all of its NOLs.

In accordance with FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes, valuation allowances are provided against deferred
tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has evaluated its ability to realize the deferred tax assets on its balance sheet and
has established a valuation allowance in the amount of $11,425,000 at December 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $2,744,000 over December 31, 2009.

|14. | SEGMENT REPORTING:
|--- | ------------------

As a
result of the sale of the Companys Legacy Commercial and Pool Lighting Businesses in October of 2010, the Company reorganized its reporting structure into two reportable segments: LED replacement lamps and LED signage and lighting strips. The
Companys operations are principally managed on a product basis. The Array product line consists of white light LED replacement lamps. The Lumificient product line consists of LED signage and lighting strips.
