  PART I
 
 Item
1.  Business.
 
 Overview
 
 We are a
developer, designer, and integrator of ground mount and rooftop solar energy
solutions for residential, commercial, industrial, and equity fund customers in
North America, Spain, and Italy.  We provide a full range of
installation services to our solar energy customers including design,
engineering, procurement, permitting, construction, grid connection, warranty,
system monitoring, and maintenance services.  We use solar components
from the industry’s leading suppliers and manufacturers including solar panels
from General Electric (“GE”), Canadian Solar, Sharp, Solyndra, and Sun Power,
inverters from Fronius, Wattsun, SMA, Satcon, and Xantrex, solar trackers from
Wattsun, and residential solar thermal systems from Schuco.  We have
installed over 1,400 solar power systems since the commencement of our current
business operations in 2003, with the scale of these projects ranging from 5
kilowatts to multi megawatts of installed capacity.  We believe our
experience in developing, designing, and installing large and complex solar
projects differentiates us from many of our competitors.
 
 On July
31, 2009, we acquired Premier Power Italy S.p.A. (formerly known as ARCO Energy,
SRL, hereinafter “Premier Power Italy”), a distributor of solar modules and
developer and integrator of ground mount and rooftop solar power systems in
Italy.
 
 Our
History
 
 We were
originally incorporated as “Harry’s Trucking, Inc.” in Delaware on August 31,
2006.  Effective September 5, 2008, we changed our name to “Premier
Power Renewable Energy, Inc.”  On September 9, 2008, we consummated a
share exchange transaction whereby we acquired Premier Power Renewable Energy,
Inc., a California corporation (“Premier Power California”) and Premier Power
California’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Premier Power Sociedad Limitada
(“Premier Power Spain”) and Bright Future Technologies, LLC (“Bright
Future”).
 
 Premier
Power California’s history dates back to 2001 when Premier Homes Properties,
Inc. (“Premier Homes”), a privately held homebuilder based in Roseville, formed
a solar power systems design and integration division (the “Solar Division”) in
order to meet its internal mandate to make one out of every three homes Premier
Homes developed into a solar home.  On April 22, 2003, in order to
meet the growing demand for commercial and residential retrofit solar power
system installations, the Solar Division was spun-off from Premier Homes by the
formation of Premier Power California.
 
 Bright
Future, a wholly owned subsidiary of Premier Power California, was formed on
December 13, 2006 as a Nevada limited liability company.  Bright
Future operates as a trading company that allows Premier Power California and
Premier Power Spain to consolidate its purchases from suppliers of solar energy
products in order to achieve advantageous trade terms.
 
 Premier
Power Spain, a wholly owned subsidiary of Premier Power California, was formed
on July 7, 2006 as a Spanish limited liability company by the principals of
Premier Power California in order to conduct design, sales, and installation
operations in Spain and other parts of Europe.  Premier Power Spain
was our initial entry into the European market.
 
 On July 31, 2009, we acquired all of the capital stock of Rupinvest
SARL, a corporation duly organized and existing under the law of Luxembourg
(“Rupinvest”).  Rupinvest initially owned 90% of Premier Power Italy,
a private limited company duly organized and existing under the laws of
Italy.  On December 31, 2009, Rupinvest purchased the remaining 10%
interest in Premier Power Italy making it a wholly owned
subsidiary.  Premier Power Italy is a distributor, developer, and
integrator of ground mount and rooftop solar power systems in
Italy.
 
 Recent
Developments
 
 Share Exchange Transaction with Rupinvest SARL and Esdras
Ltd.
 
 On July 31, 2009, we closed the acquisition of 100% of the issued
and outstanding equity ownership of Rupinvest from Esdras Ltd., a corporation
duly organized and existing under the laws of Cyprus
(“Esdras”).  Rupinvest distributes, develops, and integrates ground
mount and rooftop solar power systems in Italy through its subsidiary, Premier
Power Italy, which was a majority-owned subsidiary at the closing but which
became a wholly owned subsidiary on December 31, 2009 as described
below.  The terms of the transaction are set forth in a Share Exchange
Agreement entered into on June 3, 2009 between the Company, Rupinvest, and
Esdras.  Prior to the closing of this share exchange, Rupinvest was
the wholly owned subsidiary of Esdras.  We acquired Rupinvest from
Esdras in exchange for (i) a cash payment by us to Esdras in the amount of
twelve thousand five hundred Euros (€12,500, or approximately $18,292) and (ii)
the potential transfer to Esdras of up to 3 million shares of our common
stock, with the number of shares to be transferred, if any, to be calculated
based on achieving certain sales and gross margin goals by Premier Power Italy
over a three-year period.  Pursuant to the terms of the transaction,
we also made a capital contribution in the amount of one million, one hundred
and twenty five thousand Euros (€1,125,000, or approximately $1,580,063) into
Premier Power Italy representing a 90% interest.  Following the
closing of this share exchange, we conduct operations in Italy through Premier
Power Italy.
  4
  On
December 31, 2009, Rupinvest purchased the remaining 10% interest of Premier
Power Italy from Esdras pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement whereby Premier
Power Italy became the wholly owned subsidiary of
Rupinvest.   The agreement allowed for the reimbursement of the
initial capitalization of one hundred and twenty five thousand Euros (€125,000,
or approximately $175,600) made by Esdras if the remaining 10% was purchased by
December 31, 2009.
 
 Financing
Transaction with Vision Opportunity Master Fund – June 16, 2009
 
 On June 16, 2009, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with Vision Opportunity Master Fund (“Vision”) pursuant to which we sold to
Vision 2.8 million shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (bearing
no liquidation preference, no coupon payments, and no redemption rights) in
exchange for the cancellation of 4-year Series A Warrants exercisable for an
aggregate 1.75 million shares of our common stock and 4-year Series B
Warrants exercisable for an aggregate 1,750,000 shares of our common stock, and
a $3 million cash payment.
 
 In connection with the purchase agreement, Vision, a holder of our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, agreed in writing that no adjustment
will be made to the conversion price of its Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock shares, which right is set forth in Section 7(b) of the Certificate of
Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, filed on September 10, 2008 with the Delaware Secretary of
State.
 
 Industry
Overview
 
 Challenges
Facing the Electric Power Industry
 
 According
to the Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), a section of the United States
Department of Energy, energy outlook projects moderate growth in U.S. energy
consumption with greater use of renewables.  In fact the EIA’s outlook
in 2010 was that global energy consumption would increase by 14% from 2008 to
2035.  Electric power used to operate businesses and industries
provides the power needed for homes and offices and provides the power for our
communications, entertainment, transportation, and medical needs.  On
the residential side, growth in population and homeowners’ desires to utilize
solar as an alternative source of energy have increased demand over
time.  Population shifts to warmer regions have also increased the
need for cooling.  Electricity is now more commonly used for local
transportation (electric vehicles) and space/water heating needs.
 
 Due to
continuously increasing energy demands, we believe the electric power industry
faces the following challenges:
  ·
              Limited
      Fossil Fuel Supplies and Cost Pressures.Supplies of fossil
      fuels that are used to generate electricity such as oil, coal and natural
      gas are limited, and yet worldwide demand for electricity continues to
      increase.  The increasing demand for electricity and a finite
      supply of fossil fuels may result in increased fossil fuel prices, which,
      in turn, will likely result in a continuation of increases in long-term
      average costs for
electricity.
 
 ·
              Stability of
      Suppliers.Many of the world’s
      leading suppliers of fossil fuels are located in unstable regions of the
      world where political instability, labor unrest, war, and terrorist
      threats may disrupt oil and natural gas production.  Purchasing
      oil and natural gas from these countries may increase the risk of supply
      shortages and may increase costs of fossil
  fuels.
 
 ·
              Generation,
      Transmission, and Distribution Infrastructure Costs.Historically,
      electricity has been generated in centralized power plants transmitted
      over high voltage lines and distributed locally through lower voltage
      transmission lines and transformer equipment.  Despite the
      increasing demand for electricity, investment in electricity generation,
      transmission, and distribution infrastructure have not kept pace,
      resulting in service disruptions in the U.S.  As electricity
      demands increase, these systems will need to be expanded, and such
      expansion will be capital intensive and time consuming, and may be
      restricted by environmental concerns.  Without further
      investments in this infrastructure, the likelihood of power shortages may
      increase.
 
 ·
              Environmental
      Concerns and Climate Change.  Concerns about
      climate change and greenhouse gas emissions have resulted in the Kyoto
      Protocol, an international agreement establishing a legally binding
      commitment for the reduction of greenhouse gases.  As of
      February 2010 189 countries had voluntarily ratified the Kyoto Protocol
      and are required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to target levels which
      vary by country.  In the United States, 29 states have
      implemented the Renewable Portfolio Standard, which require electric
      companies to purchase a specific amount of power from renewable
      sources.
  5
  Drivers
of Solar Market Adoption
 
 The challenges facing the traditional
electric power industry are driving the adoption of renewable energy
sources.  Solar power systems have been used to produce electricity
for several decades, although at generally higher costs as compared with
traditional energy sources.  Technological advances during the past
decade that have significantly reduced system costs, combined with the
advantages of solar power as a renewable energy source and government subsidies
and incentives for solar power, have led to solar power becoming one of the
fastest growing renewable energy technologies.
 
 Advantages
that solar power offers over other sources of power include:
 
 ·
              Clean Energy
      Production.Unlike traditional fossil fuel energy sources and many other
      renewable energy sources, solar power systems generate electricity with no
      emissions or noise impact.
 
 ·
              Location-Based
      Energy Production.Solar power is a distributed energy source, meaning the electricity
      can be generated at the site of consumption.  This provides a
      significant advantage to the end user who is therefore not reliant upon
      the traditional electricity infrastructure for delivery of electricity to
      the site of use.
 
 ·
              Energy
      Generated to Match Peak Usage Times.Peak energy usage and high
      electricity costs typically occur mid-day, which also generally
      corresponds to peak sunlight hours and solar power electricity
      generation.
 
 ·
              Reliable
      Source of Electricity.Solar power systems
      generally do not contain moving parts, nor do they require significant
      ongoing maintenance.  As a result, we believe solar power
      systems are one of the most reliable forms of electricity
      generation.
 
 ·
              Modular.Solar power systems
      are made from interconnecting and laminating solar cells into solar
      modules. Given this method of construction, solar power products can be
      deployed in many different sizes and configurations to meet specific
      customer needs.
 
 According to Solarbuzz, an independent
solar energy research firm, total worldwide solar cell production increased from
682 megawatts (MW) in 2003 to 6,854 MW in 2008, which represented a compound
annual growth rate, or CAGR, of approximately 58.7%.  Solarbuzz
projects worldwide solar cell production will reach approximately 17,200 MW by
2013 in its “Green World Scenario,” which we believe represents the most
appropriate of three forecast scenarios published by Solarbuzz because it
balances further growth resulting from increased development of government
incentive programs with measured growth in industry production
capacity.  This represents a CAGR of 20.2% from 2008 actual solar cell
production of 6,854 MW as reported by Solarbuzz.
 
 Government
Incentives for Solar Energy
 
 Despite the significant advantages of
solar energy that have resulted in recent rapid market growth, solar energy
continues to represent only a small fraction of the world’s energy output as a
result of costs that remain higher than those of traditional energy
sources.  According to Solarbuzz, the cost of generating a kWh of
solar electricity has declined from 40 cent per kWh to 20 cent per kWh, but
still remains significantly higher than the cost of traditional energy, which
ranges from an average price of 10.3 cents per kWh in the United States to 27.2
cents per kWh in Italy.  While the solar industry continues to drive
down costs by 20% to 40%, various government incentives have been put in place
to make solar energy economically competitive.  These incentives
include:
 
 ·
              Feed-in
      Tariffs.  Feed-in tariffs, used primarily in Europe,
      require utility companies to purchase electricity from renewable energy
      sources at a guaranteed rate, generally above the standard rate for
      electricity.
 
 ·
              Renewable Portfolio
      Standards.  Renewable portfolio standards, adopted by 29
      states in the United States, require utilities to deliver a certain
      percentage of power from renewable energy sources by a specific
      date.  For example, California requires electric companies to
      increase procurement from eligible renewable energy sources by at least 1%
      of their retail sales annually, until they reach 20% by
    2010.
 
 ·
              Tax credits or
      grants.  Tax credits or grants provide an offset to the
      cost of installing a solar system.  In the United States, there
      is currently a 30% federal tax credit for commercial and residential solar
      power systems, which takes the form of a cash grant in 2009 and
      2010.
 
 ·
              Loan
      Guarantees.  Government-backed loan guarantees enable
      companies to finance solar projects at a lower cost of capital than would
      otherwise be available in the capital
markets.
 
 U.S.
Solar Market Dynamics
 
 According to Solarbuzz, the market for
solar energy in the United States is expected to grow from 342 MW in 2008 to
3.200 MW in 2012, representing a CAGR of 75%.  Drivers for solar
market growth include rapidly declining costs of solar systems as much as 20% to
40% over the next three years as well as government incentives including an
investment tax credit (providing a 30% federal rebate for solar energy systems),
renewable portfolio standards in 29 states, and selected state and local tax
credits.

  Spanish
Solar Market Dynamics
 
 Spain led the global market for solar
in 2008, with 2.51 gigawatts installed that year alone, according to a report
from the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA).  Spain
imposed a 500 MW cap on the feed-in tariff in 2009, causing Solarbuzz to
forecast the market to decline to 550 MW in 2009, and to then resume growth to
1,050 MW by 2012.  With a majority of Spain’s rooftop solar energy
targets unmet, and government support of rooftop solar systems through a revised
feed-in-tariff, the commercial rooftop market has become the leading solar
market segment in Spain.
 
 Italian
Solar Market Dynamics
 
 According to Solarbuzz, the market for
solar energy in Italy is expected to grow from 258 MW in 2008 to 1,600 MW in
2012.  We believe that Italy represents an attractive solar market as
a result of favorable sunlight patterns, high traditional power prices, and an
attractive feed-in tariff of €0.346 per kWh (approximately
$0.50).  According to Solar Plaza, a solar analyst firm, Italy is the
second largest solar PV energy market after Germany in the European
market.  The Italian government has set ambitious goals for solar PV,
with an initial target of 3,000 MW of installed PV power by 2016 and 8,500 MW of
PV expected to be installed by 2020.  We believe that grid-parity will
become a fact of life in Italy during this timeframe, meaning that solar
electricity will be able to compete with electricity from the grid without
subsidies.
 
 Our
Products and Services
 
 We
provide a full range of installation services to our solar energy customers
including design, engineering, procurement, permitting, construction, grid
connection, warranty, system monitoring, and maintenance services.  In
addition, we are a reseller of solar energy system components including, but not
limited to, racking, wiring, inverters, solar modules, and other related
components sourced from the industry’s leading manufacturers and
suppliers.  Through our partners, we assist in arranging power
purchase agreement programs for our customers. In 2010, we intend to offer
direct power purchase agreements.
 
 Business
Segments
 
 We
operate in four business segments:  U.S. commercial, U.S. residential,
Spain, and Italy.
 
 U.S
Commercial
 
 Our U.S. commercial business consists
of ground mount or rooftop solar energy projects generally ranging from 100
kilowatt (kWh) to 20 MW provided to corporate, municipal, agricultural, and
utility customers.  In this market, we design and build our solar
energy systems to meet each customer’s individual needs and
circumstances.  We assess the customer’s annual power requirements and
average daily consumption rates in different seasons of the year to size and
engineer the solar energy system.  We assess the customer’s site and
if relevant roof size, configuration, and composition to determine the optimum
location for the solar modules.  We factor in information about the
customer’s electrical service territory and its rate structures, and we identify
the customer’s budget and preferred financing method, as well as the customer’s
aesthetic preferences.  We also identify the relevant federal, state,
and local regulations, including building codes that are important to the cost,
operation, and return on investment of the customer’s solar energy system, as
well as relevant tax rates and various other factors.  We assess this
data using solar monitoring tools that enable us to design a solar energy system
to a size and configuration that maximizes energy efficiency for each customer’s
circumstances.  We provide customers with a return on investment
analysis and determine the rebates and performance-based incentives that are
available to each customer.  We prepare final construction plans to
obtain a building permit and, as soon as the permit is approved, our
installation professionals begin the installation by placing metal racking on
the customer’s roof (or by building a ground mount), followed by installation of
the solar modules, inverters, and the balance of systems components and safety
equipment.
 
 After the solar photovoltaic (PV)
modules and inverters are procured and installed, we obtain a final inspection
of the installation by the local building department, prepare and submit all
rebate applications to the appropriate rebating jurisdiction, and apply for the
local utility company to interconnect the customer’s solar energy system to the
utility grid.  The entire process from signing of the contract through
final inspection by the local building department typically takes between 3 and
6 months, with the actual installation work usually requiring two weeks to two
months.
  7
  U.S.
Residential
 
 Our U.S. residential business consists
mainly of rooftop solar installations generally ranging from 5 kWh to 40 kWh
provided to customers primarily in California and New Jersey as a result of the
attractive government incentives in those states.  We do provide
installations in other states when financially attractive.  The
services we provide to our residential customers are largely similar to our U.S.
commercial customers.  Key differences include that the entire process
typically takes between 60 to 90 days for residential customers versus 3 to 6
months for commercial customers, and the actual installation work usually
requires two to five days for residential customers versus two weeks to two
months for commercial customers.
 
 Spain
 
 Our Spanish business consists of
rooftop solar installations generally ranging 5 kWh to 1 MW provided primarily
to businesses that own commercial buildings or warehouses.  Our
Spanish business also serves other European countries other than
Italy.  The services we provide to our Spanish customers are largely
similar to our U.S. commercial customers.  Our global experience and
unmatched engineering and design expertise strongly position us to capitalize on
the commercial rooftop opportunities and further build our leadership role in
this growing market.  Additionally in Spain, we perform distribution
services whereby we procure solar modules and invertors and sell these to other
solar integrators or commercial buyers.
 
 Italy
 
 Our Italian business consists of
distribution, ground mount, roof mount, and solar power plant
installations.  In Italy, a portion of our business consists of ground
mount or rooftop solar energy projects generally ranging from 50 kWh to 500 kWh
provided to corporate, municipal, agricultural, and utility
customers.  In Italy, our customers commission us to install solar
energy systems based on customer-defined specifications, but we have the ability
to define our own projects and select sites based on attractive solar
characteristics.  These projects are typically 1 MW in
size.  We enter into these projects generally with a
reseller of solar power plants or a financial investor who contracts us to
construct the project.  Upon completion of the project, the acquirer
of the project has the rights to the sell electricity to the Italian power
authority at specified rates over 20 years based on Italy’s feed-in
tariff.
 
 Strategy
 
 Our goal
is to be the leading integrator of commercial solar energy
systems.  We intend to pursue the following strategies to achieve this
goal:
 
 ·
              Target multiple
      markets.  We intend to continue to target numerous market
      segments and opportunities ranging from commercial and industrial to
      agricultural and residential, both domestically and
      internationally.  Through geographic, market segment, and
      product diversification, we have reduced, and will continue to be able to
      reduce, the impact of economic and other fluctuations that any one
      individual market, segment, or region may have on our
      business.
 
 ·
              Establish best practices
      across market segments.  We intend to continue to focus
      on establishing and refining best practices for design, sales, and
      marketing that can be replicated throughout our different locations while
      identifying and centralizing operations that are best centralized in order
      to reduce the cost of operations and increase awareness of our services so
      that our best practices are applied in a uniform manner and delivered
      consistently across markets.
 
 ·
              Develop proprietary know
      how.  We believe our experience in developing, designing,
      and installing large and complex solar projects differentiates us from
      many of our competitors.  We intend to continue to develop
      proprietary turn-key solar power systems and continued improvements upon
      our prefabrication abilities for application in commercial, rooftop, and
      ground mount applications that will reduce design, permitting, and
      installation time and cost.
 
 ·
              Balance in-house engineering
      with outsourced labor.  We intend to balance the use of
      our in-house engineering, design, and installation staffs with the use of
      outsourcing when appropriate in order to improve the customer experience,
      maintain quality control, reduce costs, and protect our
    brand.
 
 ·
              Expand our participation in
      “value added” businesses.  We intend to continue to
      expand our offerings to include services such as providing after-market
      systems management programs and customized project finance solutions to
      customers and prospective customers.  This will allow us to have
      greater participation in the ancillary revenue that our projects create,
      which currently is not a significant portion of our
    business.
 
 ·
              Develop financial tools such
      as leases or Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to help consumers and
      businesses decide in favor of solar power.  A PPA is a
      long-term contract under which a customer has no up-front cost and instead
      agrees to purchase the energy produced by the solar system at a fixed
      rate, typically adjusted annually at an agreed rate, for 15, 20, or 25
      years.  The customer does not own the system and the elimination
      of a capital outlay simplifies the “going solar”
  decision.
 
 ·
              Expand through both
      acquisitions and organic growth.  As a growing number of
      states and countries adopt solar programs, we expect solar demand to
      continue to grow.  We intend to continue to evaluate potential
      acquisitions to expand our presence worldwide.  We view
      acquiring a local presence in a new market as a critical step in gaining a
      strong brand and presence in a
market.

  Customers
 
 Our
business consists of the installation of solar energy systems and all related
components for use by commercial and industrial enterprises, municipalities,
residential homeowners, and other solar energy providers.  The

 In 2009,
our largest customers were an Italian reseller, which represented 17% of our
total revenue, a distribution customer, which represented 5% of our total
revenue, and a U.S. commercial customer, which represented 6% of our total
revenue.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, 81% of our
revenue was derived from commercial and industrial customers, and 19% of our
revenue was derived from residential customers.  In 2008, our two
largest customers represented 18% and 12% of our total revenue,
respectively.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, 84% of our
revenue was derived from commercial and industrial customers, and 16% of our
revenue was derived from residential customers.
 
 Our
clients in the United States have included utility companies such as Pacific Gas
and Electric and Sierra Pacific Power Company, home builders such as KB Homes,
and numerous agricultural clients such as leading wineries in Napa Valley,
California.  Our clients in Spain have included BTV, CasaVilla, and
Salvi Cazados.  Our clients in Italy have included Global Green
Advisors, Nacastri, and Camardo.
  We
believe that the solar energy market is dynamic and constantly changing as
certain government standards and directives that affect the marketplace have
allowed, and will continue to allow, for new customers in new geographic
areas.  We believe that Renewable Portfolio Standards (“RPS”) in the
United States have resulted in increased demand for solar energy in the American
marketplace. RPS is a state policy that requires electricity providers to
obtain a minimum amount of their power from renewable energy by a certain
date.  According to a May 2009 report by the U.S. Department of
Energy, there were 24 states that adopted a RPS-type
mechanism.  According to the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, that
number increased to 29 states.  We believe that this number will
continue to increase.  With each new state that adopts a RPS, bases of
new customers of solar energy will develop.  In June 2009, Congress
passed a cap-and-trade energy bill that would require electric utilities to meet
20% of their electricity demand through renewable sources by 2020.  We
believe this will generate additional demand for solar energy, which would
create new customers.  We also believe that the renewable energy
directive of the European Union also plays a role in growth of our
marketplace.  According to the European Renewable Energies Foundation
and the European Future Energy Forum, the EU’s member-nations are required to
provide at least 20% of gross final energy consumption from renewable energy
sources by 2020.  This target is mandatory of the 27
member-nations.  Each member-nation must draft a Renewable Energy
Action Plan, which must include clear development targets for electricity,
heating, cooling, and fuel.  Consequently, to avoid penalties, the
member-nations provide incentives in the form of feed-in tariffs for the
generation of solar electricity.  This EU renewable energy directive,
thus, also provides for an increase in customers within the EU.  We
believe that our customer base will grow as a result of such standards and
directives.
 
 Quality
Control
 
 We have a
“zero defect” quality assurance program for installation of solar energy
systems.  Instituted in 2006, the zero defect policy was created to
set the highest quality and customer satisfaction standards in the industry
today.  The program sets standards for ten areas of installation: (1)
installed equipment, (2) solar array, (3) array mounting structure, (4) wire
runs, (5) system component location, (6) system component mounting, (7)
electrical, (8) system performance, (9) building requirements, and (10)
surrounding property.  Each of our installations is independently
verified by a quality control officer and must meet a rigid standard for
excellence.  One point is awarded for each standard that is met, and
our installation crews must have a score of at least 9 points for each
installation.  If an installation crew scores less than 9 points for a
particular installation, we follow up with the customer to allow management to
understand the core problem with that particular installation and to design and
implement measures to further improve the customer experience.
 
 Our
review standards go beyond the quality of the installation to include measures
of the customer experience.  We use the “Net Promoter Score” developed
by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and implemented by companies such
as GE and Toyota to measure quality and customer satisfaction.  We
regularly review customer surveys and scores and design and implement measures
to further improve the customer experience.
  9
  Competition
 
 We are active in the U.S. and European
markets and have a few direct competitors that are concurrently active in both
of those markets.  The following provides more specific competitive
information for each of our target markets.
 
 U.S.
Competitors
 
 In
the United States, the solar design and integration market is highly fragmented,
and we face direct competition in this market from a number of smaller local
installers within many U.S. cities, particularly for residential
customers.   For residential opportunities in American cities and
regions such as Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, and California’s
Central Valley, we experience competition from regional installers such as
Akeena Solar, Solar Universe, Solar City, and SPG.  Based on our
geographic diversification, buying power, and unique installation methods, the
effect of any one installer on our business is limited but
growing.  In particular, among the commercial grade opportunities,
there are few companies with the level of experience to perform, and therefore
only a few competitors qualify under larger scale “Request for Proposal” (“RFP”)
projects.  These competitors include SunPower and BP
Solar.  We seek to distinguish ourselves from the competition by
marketing our depth of experience, complex engineering and design capabilities,
customer satisfaction, and our track record for delivering “on-time” and
“on-budget” installations and when project finance is required providing the
customer with an attractive financing model.
 
 Spanish
Competitors
 
 In the
Spanish market, we face competition from Acciona and Tudela Solar, among other
companies.  These companies, along with most of the competition in
Spain, are focused on building large-scale solar farms, which have proliferated
in 2008 as a result of national feed-in tariffs.  Large-scale farm
developers are experienced at engineering ground mount systems in abundant and
open space and replicating redundant tasks related to a large-scale
installation.  Our Spanish business is differentiated because it is
not dependent on large-scale solar farm subsidies or feed-in tariffs, and
instead is focused on the smaller commercial roof top installation, which has
greater design and installation challenges.  These projects have not
been affected by the caps placed on solar farms by the Spanish
government.  In addition, we have developed and secured exclusivity on
various components of our ballast mount roof system that reduces the cost and
time to complete installations and provides a competitive
advantage.
 
 Italian
Competitors
 
 In the
Italian market, we face competition from Enerqos and SAEM Energy Alternative,
among other companies.  Premier Power Italy intends to operate
as a solar developer and solar integrator. In 2009, we largely
operated as a constructor of solar power plants. In 2010, it is our intent
to market large scale solar power plants as turnkey systems to mostly
financial buyers that acquire systems for purposes of investment because once
these systems are connected to the power grid they produce a constant stream of
cash flow for 20 years for the electricity they produce pursuant to the Italian
feed-in tariff program.  Dealing in the development, construction, and sale
of large scale, capital intensive solar power plants to sophisticated financial
buyers that purchase and manage a portfolio of income producing solar power
plants as a core business requires significant resources, capabilities,
relationships, and a proven track record.  These factors, in addition to
long development cycles that must be funded in advance, a localized culture that
can impede outsiders, and the complex nature of the relatively new solar feed-in
tariff program and varied regional permitting processes, create barriers to
competitor entry and hinder both small and large companies alike from entering
the market.
 
 Sales
and Marketing Activities
 
 We spent
approximately $.8 million and $.4 million on domestic and international sales
and marketing activities in 2009 and 2008, respectively.  We
participate in the solar industry’s leading trade shows, use radio and print
advertising and marketing tools, and have hosted consumer-focused seminars in
targeted markets, as well as customer appreciation events to raise awareness of
solar power options and our brand, services and products.  We also
employ a national public relations firm in the United States, and have used
web-based promotion tools on our websites to educate customers, to showcase our
latest installations, and to provide general and specific sales
information.
 
 Principal
Suppliers
 
 The
components used in our solar energy systems consist of solar modules, inverters,
racking, wire, hardware, monitoring equipment, and electrical
equipment.  We have no exclusive supplier
relationships.  We purchase the components from leading solar
energy product suppliers including solar modules from GE, Sharp, and SunPower
Corporation; inverters from Fronius, Satcon, SMS, and Zantrex; solar trackers
from Watsun; and residential solar thermal systems from Schuco.  In
particular, Canadian Solar, GE, Sharp, SunPower Corporation, and Solyndra
together accounted for over 95% and 80% of our purchases of solar modules during
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
 Solar
modules and inverters comprise a substantial portion of the total cost
of our installations.  We constantly evaluate the outlook for supply
of solar panels and other components.  However, we currently do not
maintain any long-term supply agreements for the purchase of these components,
and thus we may be subject to the availability of and/or market price
fluctuations for the components used in our solar energy systems.
  10
  Intellectual
Properties and Licenses
 
 We
applied with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) for trademark
protection for the brand name “Premier Power,” for which we received approval on
July 21, 2009, and for the brand name “Bright Futures,” for which we received
approval on December 15, 2009.  We also applied with the USPTO for
trademark protection of our sales slogan, “Your Solar Electricity
Specialist.”  This application is currently pending.
 
 Research
and Development
 
 We are
focused on leveraging our years of experience in designing and installing solar
systems to develop best practices and differentiating know how.  For
example, we help GE develop its popular solar tile.  Any technology
and/or procedures that are developed are based on the decades of experience in
solar installations held by the persons behind the development and in-house
expertise in electrical and structural engineering.  Our experienced
engineering team constantly looks for new and innovative ways to address space
constraints, time, and cost saving designs that will increase efficiencies and
drive added revenue.
 
 Our
research and development efforts are often aimed at technology integrations and
system productivity and performance features.  Our engineering team
has evaluated Thin Film module technology, new racking system, next generation
inverter, and connector applications on various installation projects throughout
the year.  Under our installation contracts, we typically obtain the
rights to use any improvements to our technology developed or discovered on a
particular installation on other customer installations.
 
 Government
Approval and Regulation
 
 All
products that we resell are guaranteed by the manufacturer to have passed all
required government approval and regulation requirements. Some of the electrical
services we provide are regulated and require licensing. For example, the
installations of electrical components that are connected to the electric meter
require a C10 license in California and C2 license in Nevada, and the
installation of solar systems in California requires a C46
license.  As we expand our installations operation into other states,
we may need to obtain additional licenses required by the local building
authorities. Some states accept a C10 license from California. We possess and
maintain all the necessary licenses required for the services we provide. Our
employees hold some of the highest levels of licensing and certifications
available in the industry, and some employees are certified by the North America
Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP).
 
 Compliance
with Environmental Laws
 
 We are
not required to comply with any environmental laws that are particular to the
solar industry.  However, it is our policy to be as environmentally
conscientious in every aspect of our operations.
 
 Employees
 
 As of
March 24, 2010, we had approximately 80 employees, all of which are
full-time employees.
 
 Offices

  Item
1A.  Risk Factors.
  The
statements contained in or incorporated into this report that are not historic
facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or
implied by forward-looking statements.  If any of the following risks
actually occurs, our business, financial condition, or results of operations
could be harmed.
  11
  Risks
Relating to Our Business
 
 We
have a short operating history as a public company, and the limited operating
history of some of our subsidiaries makes it difficult to evaluate our future
prospects and results of operations.
 
 We may
need to hire additional management personnel and outside assistance from legal,
accounting, and other professionals to assist us with complying with additional
SEC reporting requirements and compliance under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
not previously required of us as a private company prior to the September 2008
share exchange. This could be more costly than planned.  Further, the
limited operating history of Bright Future, Premier Power Spain, and Premier
Power Italy makes it difficult to evaluate our business. In the event that we
are not able to manage our growth and operate as a public company due to our
limited experience, our business may suffer uncertainty and failures, which
makes it difficult to evaluate our business.
 
 We are dependent upon our suppliers
for the components used in the systems we design and install, and our major
suppliers are dependent upon the continued availability and pricing of
polysilicon and other raw materials used in solar modules.  Any increases in
the price of solar components or any interruptions to or shortage or decline in
the quality of the solar components we purchase for our solar energy systems
could adversely affect our business.
 
 Key
components used in our systems are purchased from a limited number of
manufacturers. In particular, Canadian Solar, Sharp, SunPower Corporation,
Solyndra, and GE account for over 95% of our purchases of solar panels. We are
subject to market prices for the components that we purchase for our
installations, which are subject to fluctuation. We cannot ensure that the
prices charged by our suppliers will not increase because of changes in market
conditions or other factors beyond our control. An increase in the price of
components used in our systems could result in an increase in costs to our
customers and could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and demand
for our products and services. Our suppliers are dependent upon the availability
and pricing of polysilicon, one of the main materials used in manufacturing
solar panels. Interruptions in our ability to procure needed components for our
systems, whether due to discontinuance by our suppliers, delays or failures in
delivery, shortages caused by inadequate production capacity or unavailability,
or for other reasons, would adversely affect or limit our sales and growth. In
addition, increases in the prices of solar modules could make systems that have
been sold but not yet installed unprofitable for us. There is no assurance that
we will continue to find qualified manufacturers on acceptable terms and, if we
do, there can be no assurance that product quality will continue to be
acceptable, which could lead to a loss of sales and revenues.
 
 Various
licenses and permits are required to operate our business, and the loss of or
failure to renew any or all of these licenses and permits could prevent us from
either completing current projects or obtaining future projects, and, thus,
materially adversely affect our business.
 
 We hold
electrical contractor licenses in all states in which we operate, including C10,
C2, and C46. Also, we are certified by the North America Board of Certified
Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). The loss of any such licenses or certifications,
or the loss of any key personnel who hold such licenses or certifications, would
materially adversely affect our business because it could prevent us from
obtaining and/or completing solar integration projects in states where we or our
personnel lose such licenses or certifications or are in non-compliance with
state licensing or certification requirements.
 
 We
are highly dependent on senior management and key sales and technical
personnel.  The loss and inability to replace any such persons could
have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
 
 We are
highly dependent on our senior management to manage our business and operations
and our key managerial, financial, sales, design, engineering, technical and
other personnel for the sale, development and installation of our solar power
systems. In particular, we rely substantially on Dean R. Marks, our President
and Chief Executive Officer, and Miguel de Anquin, our Chief Operating Officer,
and Corporate Secretary, to manage our operations. Although we have entered into
employment agreements with and obtained key-man life insurance policies for our
benefit on the lives of Messrs. Marks and de Anquin, we cannot assure their
continued services to the Company. The loss of either one of them, or any other
member of our senior management, would have a material adverse effect on our
business and operations. Competition for senior management and sales and
technical personnel is intense, and the pool of suitable candidates is limited.
We may be unable to locate a suitable replacement for any member of our senior
management or key sales and technical personnel that we lose. In addition, if
any member of our senior management or key sales and technical personnel joins a
competitor or forms a competing company, they may compete with us for customers,
business partners and other key professionals and staff members of our company.
Although
each of our senior management and key sales and technical personnel has signed a
confidentiality and non-competition agreement in connection with his employment
with us, we cannot provide assurances that we will be able to successfully
enforce these provisions in the event of a dispute between us and any member of
our senior management or key operational personnel.
 
 If we are unable to attract, train,
and retain highly qualified personnel, the quality of our services may
decline, and we may not meet our business and financial
goals.
 
 We
compete for qualified personnel with other solar integration companies. Intense
competition for these personnel could cause our compensation costs to increase
significantly, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations. Our future success and ability to grow our business will
depend in part on the continued service of these individuals and our ability to
identify, hire and retain additional qualified personnel. If we are unable to
attract and retain qualified employees, we may be unable to meet our business
and financial goals, which will require the retention of these qualified
employees to work on our future solar integration projects as we expand our
business.
  12
  Our
growth strategy may prove to be disruptive and divert management
resources.
 
 Our
growth strategy may involve complex transactions and present financial,
managerial and operational challenges, including diversion of management
attention from our existing businesses, difficulty with integrating personnel
and financial and other systems, increased expenses, including compensation
expenses resulting from newly hired employees, the assumption of unknown
liabilities and potential disputes. We could also experience financial or other
setbacks if any of our growth strategies incur problems of which we are not
presently aware. We may also require additional financing in the future in
connection with our growth strategy.
 
 We
may need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund future capital
expenditures and to meet working capital requirements, which may be obtained on
terms that are unfavorable to the Company and/or our stockholders.
 
 Additional
equity may result in dilution to the holders of our outstanding shares of
capital stock. Additional debt financing may include conditions that would
restrict our freedom to operate our business, such as conditions
that:
  ·
              limit our ability to pay
      dividends or require us to seek consent for the payment of
      dividends;
 
 ·
              increase our vulnerability to
      general adverse economic and industry
  conditions;
 
 ·
              require us to dedicate a portion
      of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing
      the availability of our cash flow to fund capital expenditures, working
      capital and other general corporate purposes;
  and
 
 ·
              limit our flexibility in planning
      for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our
      industry.
  We cannot
guarantee that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms that
are acceptable to us, or at all.
 
 Geographical business expansion
efforts we make could result in difficulties in successfully managing
our business and consequently harm our financial
condition.
 
 As part
of our business strategy, we may seek to expand by acquiring competing
businesses or customer contracts outside of our current geographic markets, or
we may open offices in the geographical markets we desire to operate within. We
may face challenges in managing expanding product and service offerings and in
integrating acquired businesses with our own. We cannot accurately predict the
timing, size and success of our expansion efforts and the associated capital
commitments that might be required. We expect to face competition for expansion
candidates, which may limit the number of expansion opportunities available to
us and may lead to higher expansion costs. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional businesses and
contracts or successfully integrate acquired businesses and contracts, if any,
into our company, without substantial costs, delays or other operational or
financial difficulties. In addition, expansion efforts involve a number of other
risks, including:
  ·
              failure of the expansion efforts
      to achieve expected results;
 
 ·
              diversion of management’s
      attention and resources to expansion
  efforts;
 
 ·
              failure to retain key customers
      or personnel of the acquired businesses;
  and
 
 ·
              risks associated with
      unanticipated events, liabilities or
  contingencies.
  Client
dissatisfaction or performance problems at a single acquired business could
negatively affect our reputation. The inability to acquire businesses on
reasonable terms or successfully integrate and manage acquired companies, or the
occurrence of performance problems at acquired companies, could result in
dilution to our stockholders, unfavorable accounting charges and difficulties in
successfully managing our business.
  Our inability to obtain capital, use
internally generated cash, or use shares of our common stock or debt to
finance future expansion efforts could impair the growth and expansion of
our business.
 
 Reliance
on internally generated cash or debt to finance our operations or to complete
business expansion efforts could substantially limit our operational and
financial flexibility. The extent to which we will be able or willing to use
shares of common stock to consummate expansions will depend on our market value
from time to time and the willingness of potential sellers to accept it as full
or partial payment. Using shares of common stock for this purpose also may
result in significant dilution to our then existing stockholders. To the extent
that we are unable to use common stock to make future expansions, our ability to
grow through expansions may be limited by the extent to which we are able to
raise capital for this purpose through debt or equity financings. No assurance
can be given that we will be able to obtain the necessary capital to finance a
successful expansion program or our other cash needs. If we are unable to obtain
additional capital on acceptable terms, we may be required to reduce the scope
of any expansion. In addition to requiring funding for expansions, we may need
additional funds to implement our internal growth and operating strategies or to
finance other aspects of our operations. Our failure to (i) obtain additional
capital on acceptable terms, (ii) use internally generated cash or debt to
complete expansions because it significantly limits our operational or financial
flexibility, or (iii) use shares of common stock to make future expansions may
hinder our ability to actively pursue any expansion program we may decide to
implement and negatively impact our stock price.
  13
  Our
operations are cash intensive, and our business could be adversely affected if
we fail to maintain sufficient levels of working capital.
 
 We expend
a significant amount of cash in our operations, principally to fund our
materials procurement. Our suppliers typically provide us with credit. In turn,
we typically require our customers to make payment at various stages of the
project. We generally fund most of our working capital requirements out of cash
flow generated from operations. If we fail to generate sufficient revenues from
our sales or if we experience difficulties collecting our accounts receivables,
we may not have sufficient cash flow to fund our operating costs, and our
business could be adversely affected.
 
 Our
operating results may fluctuate from period to period, and if we fail to meet
market expectations for a particular period, our stock price may
decline.
 
 Our
operating results have fluctuated from period to period and are likely to
continue to fluctuate as a result of a wide range of factors, including sales
demands, electricity rate changes, changes in incentives and technological
improvements. Our production and sales are generally lower in the winter due to
weather conditions and holiday activities. Interim reports may not be indicative
of our performance for the year or our future performance, and period-to-period
comparisons may not be meaningful due to a number of reasons beyond our control.
We cannot provide assurances that our operating results will meet the
expectations of market analysts or our investors. If we fail to meet their
expectations, there may be a decline in our stock price.
 
 Because the solar integration
industry is highly competitive and has low barriers to entry, we may lose market share to larger
companies that are better equipped to weather deterioration in market
conditions due to increased competition.
 
 Our
industry is highly competitive and fragmented, is subject to rapid change and
has low barriers to entry in some of the markets in which we operate. We may in
the future compete for potential customers with solar system installers and
servicers, electricians, roofers, utilities and other providers of solar power
equipment or electric power. Some of these competitors may have significantly
greater financial, technical and marketing resources and greater name
recognition than we have. We believe that our ability to compete depends in part
on a number of factors outside of our control, including:
  ·
              the ability of our competitors to
      hire, retain and motivate qualified technical
      personnel;
 
 ·
              the ownership by competitors of
      proprietary tools to customize systems to the needs of a particular
      customer;
 
 ·
              the price at which others offer
      comparable services and
equipment;
 
 ·
              the extent of our competitors’
      responsiveness to client
needs;
 
 ·
              risk of local economy decline;
      and
 
 ·
              installation
      technology.
  Competition
in the solar power services industry may increase in the future, partly due to
low barriers to entry, as well as from other alternative energy resources now in
existence or developed in the future. Increased competition could result in
price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share and greater
competition for qualified technical personnel. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. If
we are unable to compete effectively, or if competition results in a
deterioration of market conditions, our business and results of operations would
be adversely affected.
  14
  We
act as the general contractor for our customers in connection with the
installation of our solar power systems and are subject to risks associated with
construction, bonding, cost overruns, delays, and other contingencies, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.
 
 We act as
the general contractor for our customers in connection with the installation of
our solar power systems. All essential costs are estimated at the time of
entering into the sales contract for a particular project, and these are
reflected in the overall price that we charge our customers for the project.
These cost estimates are preliminary and may or may not be covered by contracts
between us or the other project developers, subcontractors, suppliers and other
parties to the project. In addition, we require qualified, licensed
subcontractors to install some of our systems. Shortages of such skilled labor
could significantly delay a project or otherwise increase our costs. Should
miscalculations in planning a project or defective or late execution occur, we
may not achieve our expected margins or cover our costs. Also, many systems
customers require performance bonds issued by a bonding agency. Due to the
general performance risk inherent in construction activities, it is sometimes
difficult to secure suitable bonding agencies willing to provide performance
bonding. In the event we are unable to obtain bonding, we will be unable to bid
on, or enter into, sales contracts requiring such bonding. Delays in solar panel
or other supply shipments, other construction delays, unexpected performance
problems in electricity generation or other events could cause us to fail to
meet these performance criteria, resulting in unanticipated and severe revenue
and earnings losses and financial penalties. Construction delays are often
caused by inclement weather, failure to timely receive necessary approvals and
permits, or delays in obtaining necessary solar panels, inverters or other
materials. We operate in international markets that have unique permitting
requirements, which, if not met, may cause delays.  The occurrence of
any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business and
results of operations.
  We
generally recognize revenue on system installations on a “percentage of
completion” basis and payments are due upon the achievement of contractual
milestones, and any delay or cancellation of a project could adversely affect
our business.
 
 We
recognize revenue on our system installations on a “percentage of completion”
basis and, as a result, our revenue from these installations is driven by the
performance of our contractual obligations, which is generally driven by
timelines for the installation of our solar power systems at customer sites.
This could result in unpredictability of revenue and, in the short term, a
revenue decrease.  As with any project-related business, there is the
potential for delays within any particular customer project. Variation of
project timelines and estimates may impact the amount of revenue recognized in a
particular period. In addition, certain customer contracts may include payment
milestones due at specified points during a project. Because we must invest
substantial time and incur significant expense in advance of achieving
milestones and the receipt of payment, failure to achieve milestones could
adversely affect our business and cash flows.
 
 We
are subject to particularly lengthy sales cycles with our equity fund,
commercial, and government customers, which may adversely affect our sales and
marketing efforts.
 
 Factors
specific to certain of our customers’ industries have an impact on our sales
cycles. Our equity fund, commercial, and government customers may have longer
sales cycles due to the timing of various state and federal requirements. These
lengthy and challenging sales cycles may mean that it could take longer before
our sales and marketing efforts result in revenue, if at all, and may have
adverse effects on our operating results, financial condition, cash flows, and
stock price.
 
 Our failure to meet a customer’s
expectations in the performance of our services, and the risks and
liabilities associated with placing our employees and technicians in our customers’
homes and businesses, could give rise to claims against
us.
 
 Our
engagements involve projects that are critical to our customers’ business or
home. Our failure or inability to meet a customer’s expectations in the
provision of our products and services could damage or result in a material
adverse change to their premises or property, and therefore could give rise to
claims against us or damage our reputation. In addition, we are exposed to
various risks and liabilities associated with placing our employees and
technicians in the homes and workplaces of others, including possible claims of
errors and omissions, harassment, theft of client property, criminal activity
and other claims.
  We
generally do not have long-term agreements with our solar integration customers
and, accordingly, could lose customers without warning.
 
 Our
products are generally not sold pursuant to long-term agreements with solar
integration customers, but instead are sold on a purchase order basis. We
typically contract to perform large projects with no assurance of repeat
business from the same customers in the future. Although cancellations on our
purchase orders to date have been insignificant, our customers may cancel or
reschedule purchase orders with us on relatively short notice. Cancellations or
rescheduling of customer orders could result in the delay or loss of anticipated
sales without allowing us sufficient time to reduce, or delay the incurrence of,
our corresponding inventory and operating expenses. In addition, changes in
forecasts or the timing of orders from these or other customers expose us to the
risks of inventory shortages or excess inventory. This, in addition to the
non-repetition of large systems projects and our failure to obtain new large
system projects due to current economic conditions and reduced corporate and
individual spending, could cause our revenues to decline, and, in turn, our
operating results to suffer.
 
 Our profitability depends, in part,
on our success in brand recognition, and we could lose our competitive
advantage if we are unable to protect our trademark against infringement. Any
related litigation could be time-consuming and
costly.
 
 We
believe our brand has gained substantial recognition by customers in certain
geographic areas. We have trademark protection for the brand names “Premier
Power” and “Bright Futures” and have applied for trademark protection of our
sales slogan “Your Solar Electricity Specialist.”  Use of our name or
a similar name by competitors in geographic areas in which we have not yet
operated could adversely affect our ability to use or gain protection for our
brand in those markets, which could weaken our brand and harm our business and
competitive position. In addition, any litigation relating to protecting our
trademark against infringement is likely to be time consuming and
costly.
  15
  Our
Premier Ballasting and Premier Racking systems are untested for long-term
effectiveness and may not be patentable or may encounter other unexpected
problems, which could adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
 
 Our
Premier Ballasting and Premier Racking systems have been tested in installation
settings but for an insufficient period of time to prove their long-term
effectiveness and benefits. These systems may not be effective or other problems
may occur that are unexpected and could have a material adverse effect on our
business or results of operations. We have not filed patent
applications for our Premier Ballasting and Premier Racking systems technology,
patents may not be issued on such technology, or we may not be able to realize
the benefits from any patents that are issued on such technology.
 
 We
may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be time-consuming
and costly to defend and could result in our loss of significant rights and the
assessment of damages.
 
 If we
receive notice of claims of infringement, misappropriation or misuse of other
parties’ proprietary rights, some of these claims could lead to litigation. We
cannot provide assurances that we will prevail in these actions, or that other
actions alleging misappropriation or misuse by us of third-party trade secrets,
infringement by us of third-party patents and trademarks or the validity of our
patent or trademarks, will not be asserted or prosecuted against us. We may also
initiate claims to defend our intellectual property rights. Intellectual
property litigation, regardless of outcome, is expensive and time-consuming,
could divert management’s attention from our business and have a material
negative effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. If
there is a successful claim of infringement against us, we may be required to
pay substantial damages (including treble damages if we were to be found to have
willfully infringed a third party’s patent) to the party claiming infringement,
develop non-infringing technology, stop selling our products or using technology
that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property or enter into
royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable or
commercially practical terms, if at all. Our failure to develop non-infringing
technologies or license the proprietary rights on a timely basis could harm our
business. Parties making infringement claims on any future issued patents may be
able to obtain an injunction that would prevent us from selling our products or
using technology that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property,
which could harm our business.
 
 Product
liability claims against us could result in adverse publicity and potentially
significant monetary damages.
 
 As a
seller of consumer products, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product
liability claims in the event that our solar energy systems’ use results in
damages, injuries or fatalities. Since solar energy systems are electricity
producing devices, it is possible that our products could result in damage,
injury or fatality, whether by product malfunctions, defects, improper
installation or other causes. If such damages, injuries or fatalities or claims
were to occur, we could incur monetary damages, and our business could be
adversely affected by any resulting negative publicity. The successful assertion
of product liability claims against us also could result in potentially
significant monetary damages and, if our insurance protection is inadequate to
cover these claims, could require us to make significant payments from our own
resources.
 
 We
do not carry business interruption insurance, and any unexpected business
interruptions could adversely affect our business.
 
 Our operations are vulnerable to interruption by earthquake, fire,
power failure and power shortages, hardware and software failure, floods,
computer viruses, and other events beyond our control. In addition, we do not
carry business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur
as a result of these kinds of events, and any such losses or damages incurred by
us could disrupt our solar integration projects and other Company operations
without reimbursement.
 
 A
decrease in the availability of credit or an increase in interest rates could
make it difficult for customers to finance the cost of solar energy systems and
could reduce demand for our services and products.
 
 Some of
our prospective residential and commercial customers may depend on debt
financing, such as power purchase agreements of home equity loans, to fund the
initial capital expenditure required to purchase a solar energy system.
Third-party financing sources, specifically for solar energy systems, are
currently limited, especially due to recent domestic and worldwide economic
troubles. The lack of financing sources, a decrease in the availability of
credit or an increase in interest rates could make it difficult or more costly
for our potential customers to secure the financing necessary to purchase a
solar energy system on favorable terms, or at all, thus lowering demand for our
products and services and negatively impacting our business.
 
 A
portion of our revenues is generated by construction contracts, and, thus, a
decrease in construction could reduce our construction contract-related sales
and, in turn, adversely affect our revenues.
 
 Some of
our solar-related revenues were generated from the design and installation of
solar power products in newly constructed and renovated buildings, plants and
residences. Our ability to generate revenues from construction contracts will
depend on the number of new construction starts and renovations, which should
correlate with the cyclical nature of the construction industry and be affected
by general and local economic conditions, changes in interest rates, lending
standards and other factors. For example, the current housing slump and
tightened credit markets have resulted in reduced new home construction, which
could limit our ability to sell solar products to residential and commercial
developers.
  16
  We
derive most of our revenue from sales in a limited number of territories, and we
will be unable to further expand our business if we are unsuccessful in adding
additional geographic sales territories to our operations.
 
 We
currently derive most of our revenue from sales of our solar integration
services in the United States, Italy, and Spain. This geographic concentration
exposes us to growth rates, economic conditions, and other factors that may be
specific to those territories to which we would be less subject if we were more
geographically diversified. The growth of our business will require us to expand
our operations and commence operations in other states, countries, and
territories. Any geographic expansion efforts that we undertake may not be
successful, which, in turn, would limit our growth opportunities.
 
 We
face risks associated with international trade and currency exchange that could
have a material impact on our profitability.
 
 We
transact business in the U.S. dollar and the Euro. Changes in exchange rates
would affect the value of deposits of currencies we hold. We do not currently
hedge against exposure to currencies. We cannot predict with certainty future
exchange rates and their impact on our operating results. Movements in the
exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro could have a material impact
on our profitability.
 
 Our
success may depend in part on our ability to make successful
acquisitions.
 
 As part
of our business strategy, we plan to expand our operations through strategic
acquisitions in our current markets and in new geographic markets. We cannot
accurately predict the timing, size, and success of our acquisition efforts. Our
acquisition strategy involves significant risks, including the
following:
  ·
              our ability to identify suitable
      acquisition candidates at acceptable
  prices;
 
 ·
              our ability to successfully
      complete acquisitions of identified
  candidates;
 
 ·
              our ability to compete
      effectively for available acquisition
  opportunities;
 
 ·
              increases in asking prices by
      acquisition candidates to levels beyond our financial capability or to
      levels that would not result in the returns required by our acquisition
      criteria;
 
 ·
              diversion of management’s
      attention to expansion
efforts;
 
 ·
              unanticipated costs and
      contingent liabilities associated with
  acquisitions;
 
 ·
              failure of acquired businesses to
      achieve expected results;
 
 ·
              our failure to retain key
      customers or personnel of acquired businesses;
  and
 
 ·
              difficulties entering markets in
      which we have no or limited
experience.
  These
risks, as well as other circumstances that often accompany expansion through
acquisitions, could inhibit our growth and negatively impact our operating
results. In addition, the size, timing, and success of any future acquisitions
may cause substantial fluctuations in our operating results from quarter to
quarter. Consequently, our operating results for any quarter may not be
indicative of the results that may be achieved for any subsequent quarter or for
a full fiscal year. These fluctuations could adversely affect the market price
of our common stock.
 
 Our
failure to integrate the operations of acquired businesses successfully into our
operations or to manage our anticipated growth effectively could materially and
adversely affect our business and operating results.
 
 In order
to pursue a successful acquisition strategy, we must integrate the operations of
acquired businesses into our operations, including centralizing certain
functions to achieve cost savings and pursuing programs and processes that
leverage our revenue and growth opportunities. The integration of the
management, operations, and facilities of acquired businesses with our own could
involve difficulties, which could adversely affect our growth rate and operating
results. We may be unable to do any of the following:
  17
  ·
              effectively complete the
      integration of the management, operations, facilities and accounting and
      information systems of acquired businesses with our
      own;
 
 ·
              efficiently manage the combined
      operations of the acquired businesses with our
      operations;
 
 ·
              achieve our operating, growth and
      performance goals for acquired
  businesses;
 
 ·
              achieve additional revenue as a
      result of our expanded operations;
or
 
 ·
              achieve operating efficiencies or
      otherwise realize cost savings as a result of anticipated acquisition
      synergies.
  Our rate
of growth and operating performance may suffer if we fail to manage acquired
businesses profitably without substantial additional costs or operational
problems or to implement effectively combined growth and operating
strategies.
  Costs
incurred because we are a public company may affect our
profitability.
 
 As a
public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses, and
we are subject to the SEC’s rules and regulations relating to public disclosure
that generally involve a substantial expenditure of financial resources. In
addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently
implemented by the SEC, requires changes in corporate governance practices of
public companies. We expect that full compliance with these new rules and
regulations will significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs
and make some activities more time-consuming and costly, which may negatively
impact our financial results. To the extent our earnings suffer as a result of
the financial impact of our SEC reporting or compliance costs, our ability to
develop an active trading market for our securities could be
harmed.
 
 It may be
time-consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the
internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
when applicable to us. Some members of our management team have limited or no
experience operating a company with securities traded or listed on an exchange,
or subject to SEC rules and requirements, including SEC reporting practices and
requirements that are applicable to a publicly traded company. We may need to
recruit, hire, train, and retain additional financial reporting, internal
controls, and other personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate
internal controls and reporting procedures both domestically and
internationally.  If we are unable to comply with the internal
controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, when applicable, we may not be
able to obtain our independent accountant’s attestation report on our internal
controls over financial reporting required by the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act.
  Our
business is exposed to risks associated with the ongoing financial crisis and
weakening global economy, which increases the uncertainty of project financing
for commercial solar installations and the risk of non-payment from both
commercial and residential customers.
  The
recent severe tightening of the credit markets, turmoil in the financial
markets, and weakening global economy are contributing to slowdowns in the solar
industry, which slowdowns may worsen if these economic conditions are prolonged
or deteriorate further.  The market for installation of solar power
systems depends largely on commercial and consumer capital
spending.  Economic uncertainty exacerbates negative trends in these
areas of spending, and may cause our customers to push out, cancel, or refrain
from placing orders, which may reduce our net sales.  Difficulties in
obtaining capital and deteriorating market conditions may also lead to the
inability of some customers to obtain affordable financing, including
traditional project financing and tax-incentive based financing and home
equity-based financing, resulting in lower sales to potential customers with
liquidity issues, and may lead to an increase of incidents where our customers
are unwilling or unable to pay for systems they purchase, and additional bad
debt expense for the Company.  Further, these conditions and
uncertainty about future economic conditions may make it challenging for us to
obtain equity and debt financing to meet our working capital requirements to
support our business, forecast our operating results, make business decisions,
and identify the risks that may affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations.  If we are unable to timely and appropriately
adapt to changes resulting from the difficult macroeconomic environment, our
business, financial condition, or results of operations may be materially and
adversely affected.

Risks
Relating To Our Industry
 
 We have experienced technological
changes in our industry. New technologies may prove inappropriate
and result in liability to us or may not gain market acceptance by our
customers.
 
 The solar
power industry, which currently accounts for less than 1% of the world’s power
generation according to the Solar Energy Industries Association, is subject to
technological change. Our future success will depend on our ability to
appropriately respond to changing technologies and changes in function of
products and quality. If we adopt products and technologies that are not
attractive to consumers, we may not be successful in capturing or retaining a
significant share of our market. In addition, some new technologies are
relatively untested and unperfected and may not perform as expected or as
desired, in which event our adoption of such products or technologies may cause
us to lose money.
 
 A drop in the retail price of
conventional energy or non-solar alternative energy sources may negatively impact
our profitability.
 
 We
believe that a customer’s decision to purchase or install solar power
capabilities is primarily driven by the cost and return on investment resulting
from solar power systems. Fluctuations in economic and market conditions that
impact the prices of conventional and non-solar alternative energy sources, such
as decreases in the prices of oil, coal and other fossil fuels and changes in
utility electric rates and net metering policies, could cause the demand for
solar power systems to decline, which would have a negative impact on our
profitability.
 
 Existing regulations, and changes to
such regulations, may present technical, regulatory, and economic
barriers to the purchase and use of solar power products, which may
significantly reduce demand for our products.
 
 Installations
of solar power systems are subject to oversight and regulation in accordance
with national and local ordinances, building codes, zoning, environmental
protection regulation, utility interconnection requirements for metering, and
other rules and regulations. We attempt to keep up-to-date with these
requirements on a national, state, and local level, and must design, construct
and connect systems to comply with varying standards. Certain cities may have
ordinances that prevent or increase the cost of installation of our solar power
systems. In addition, new government regulations or utility policies pertaining
to solar power systems are unpredictable and may result in significant
additional expenses or delays and, as a result, could cause a significant
reduction in demand for solar energy systems and our services. For example,
there currently exists metering caps in certain jurisdictions that effectively
limit the aggregate amount of power that may be sold by solar power generators
into the power grid. Moreover, in certain markets, the process for obtaining the
permits and rights necessary to construct and interconnect a solar power system
to the grid requires significant lead time and may become prolonged, and the
cost associated with acquiring such permits and project rights may be subject to
fluctuation.
 
 Our business depends on the
availability of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives, the reduction
or elimination of which would reduce the demand for our services.
 
 Many U.S.
states, including California, Nevada and New Jersey, offer substantial
incentives to offset the cost of solar power systems. These incentives can take
many forms, including direct rebates, state tax credits, system performance
payments, and Renewable Energy Credits (“RECs”). Moreover, although the United
States Congress recently passed legislation to extend for 8 years a 30% federal
tax credit for the installation of solar power systems, there can be no
assurance that the tax credit will be further extended once they expire.
Additionally, businesses that install solar power systems may elect to
accelerate the depreciation of their system over five years. Spain also offers
substantial incentives, including feed-in tariffs. Spain’s Industry Ministry has
implemented a capped solar subsidy program for MW installation and reduced
tariff levels.  Italy offers incentives in the form of minimum user
prices for solar electricity production and feed-in tariffs that are subject to
reduction annually for new applications.  In Italy, the current
feed-in tariff decree is effective through 2010. Subsequent decrees will
redefine rates for solar power plants commissioned thereafter. A reduction in or
elimination of such incentives could substantially increase the cost or reduce
the economic benefit to our customers, resulting in significant reductions in
demand for our products and services, which may negatively impact our
sales.
 
 If solar power technology is not
suitable for widespread adoption or sufficient demand for solar power
products does not develop or takes longer to develop than we anticipate, our sales
would decline, and we would be unable to achieve or sustain
profitability.
 
 The
market for solar power products is emerging and rapidly evolving, and its future
success is uncertain. Many factors will influence the widespread adoption of
solar power technology and demand for solar power products,
including:
  ·
              cost effectiveness of solar power
      technologies as compared with conventional and non-solar alternative
      energy technologies;
 
 ·
              performance and reliability of
      solar power products as compared with conventional and non-solar
      alternative energy products;
 
 ·
              capital expenditures by customers
      that tend to decrease if the U.S. economy slows;
  and
 
 ·
              availability of government
      subsidies and incentives.
  19
  If solar
power technology proves unsuitable for widespread commercial deployment or if
demand for solar power products fails to develop sufficiently, we would be
unable to generate enough revenue to achieve and sustain profitability. In
addition, demand for solar power products in the markets and geographic regions
we target may not develop or may develop more slowly than we
anticipate.
 
 Risks
Related to Doing Business in Spain and Italy
 
 Adverse
changes in the political and economic policies of the Spanish and Italian
governments could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth
of Spain and Italy, respectively, which could reduce the demand for our products
and materially and adversely affect our competitive position in those
regions.
  A
significant portion of our business operations are conducted in, and a
significant portion of our sales are made in, Spain through our subsidiary,
Premier Power Spain. In addition, we have business operations in Italy through
our wholly owned subsidiary, Premier Power Italy, and we hope to generate a
significant level of sales in Italy. Spain and Italy offer substantial
incentives, including feed-in tariffs, to encourage the growth of solar power as
a form of renewable energy. However, recently there had been significant changes
in Spain’s laws which cap the amount of kilowatts installed by solar power
installers in Spain at 66 Megawatts per quarter, effectively limiting the number
of solar module installations throughout Spain, and such new laws also created a
more complicated and lengthy permitting process in order to receive the
government funded feed-in tariffs. Accordingly, our business, financial
condition, results of operations, and prospects are affected significantly by
economic, political, and legal developments in Spain and Italy. Any adverse
change in such policies could have a material adverse effect on the overall
economic growth in Spain and Italy or on the level of our incentives, which, in
turn, could lead to a reduction in demand for our products and consequently have
a material adverse effect on our European operations and sales.
 
 Fluctuation
in the value of the Euro may have a material adverse effect on an investment in
our securities.
 
 Changes
in exchange rates would affect the value of deposits of currencies we hold. We
do not currently hedge against exposure to currencies. We cannot predict with
certainty future exchange rates and their impact on our operating results.
Movements between the U.S. dollar and the Euro could have a material impact on
our profitability.
 
 Our
business benefits from certain Spanish and Italian government incentives.
Expiration of, or changes to, these incentives could have a material adverse
effect on our operating results.
 
 The
Spanish and Italian governments have provided various incentives to solar energy
providers in order to encourage development of the solar industry. Such
incentives include feed-in tariffs and other measures. Reduction in or
elimination of such incentives or delays or interruptions in the implementation
of such favorable policies could substantially decrease the economic benefits of
solar energy to our customers, resulting in significant reductions in demand for
our products and services, which would negatively impact our sales.
 
 Effecting
service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments, or bringing original
actions in Spain and Italy based on United States or other foreign laws against
us or our management may be difficult.
 
 We
conduct a significant amount of our business through Premier Power Spain and
Premier Power Italy, which are established in Spain and Italy, respectively, and
a portion of our assets are located in Spain and Italy. As a result, it may not
be possible to effect service of process in Spain and Italy against us or upon
our executive officers or directors, including with respect to matters arising
under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws.
Moreover, there is uncertainty that the courts of Spain and Italy would enforce
judgments of U.S. courts against us or our directors and officers based on the
civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any
state, or entertain an original action brought in Spain and Italy based upon the
securities laws of the United States or any state.  These risks may
discourage a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of our common
stock which, in turn, could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders
from realizing a premium over our stock price.
 
 Risk
Relating to Our Securities
 
 Generally,
we have not paid any cash dividends, and no cash dividends will be paid in the
foreseeable future, which may require our stockholders to generate a cash flow
from their investment in our securities through alternative means.
 
 We do not
anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future,
and we may not have sufficient funds legally available to pay dividends. Even if
funds are legally available for distribution, we may nevertheless decide not to
or may be unable to pay any dividends to our stockholders. We intend to retain
all earnings for our operations. Accordingly, our stockholders may have to sell
some or all of their common stock in order to generate cash flow from their
investment. Our stockholders may not receive a gain on their investment when
they sell their common stock and may lose some or all of their investment. Any
determination to pay dividends in the future on our common stock will be made at
the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of
operations, financial conditions, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed
by applicable law, capital requirements, and other factors that our board of
directors deems relevant.
  20
  We
may need additional capital, and the sale of additional shares or other equity
securities could result in dilution to our
stockholders.  Additionally, our stockholders may face dilution from
conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock.
 
 We
believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow
from operations and our lines of credit will be sufficient to meet our
anticipated cash needs for the near future. We may, however, require additional
cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments,
including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our
resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell
additional equity or debt securities or obtain an increased credit facility. The
sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our
stockholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in
increased debt service obligations and could result in further operating and
financing covenants that would further restrict our operations. We cannot
provide assurances that financing will be available in amounts or on terms
acceptable to us, if at all.  Additionally, there are outstanding
shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock issued by us, the conversion of which will dilute our current
stockholders.
 
 The
application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price
of our common stock and increase our stockholders’ transaction costs to sell
those shares.
 
 Our
common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section
15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
The penny stock rules apply to companies that are not traded on a national
securities exchange whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or
that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company
has been operating for three or more years). The “penny stock” rules impose
additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to
persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally
those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or
$300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules,
the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase
of securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the
transaction before the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a
penny stock, unless exempt, the broker-dealer must deliver, before the
transaction, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny
stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to
both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations
for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent
price information on the limited market in penny stocks. These additional
burdens imposed on broker-dealers may restrict the ability or decrease the
willingness of broker-dealers to sell our common stock, and may result in
decreased liquidity for our common stock and increased transaction costs for
sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other
securities.
 
 Our
common stock is thinly traded, and an active public market for our common stock
may not develop or be sustained.
 
 Although
our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), we
cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock
will develop or be sustained. Our common stock has historically been
sporadically or “thinly traded” on the OTCBB, meaning that the number of persons
interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at any given
time may be relatively small or nonexistent. This situation is attributable to a
number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is
relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and
others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and
that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be
risk-adverse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours
or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we become
more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days
or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as
compared to a seasoned issuer that has a large and steady volume of trading
activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect
on our stock price. We cannot provide assurances that a broader or more active
public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that
current trading levels will be sustained.
 
 The
volatility of the market price of our common stock may render our stockholders
unable to sell their shares of our common stock at or near “ask” prices or at
all if they need to sell their shares to raise money or otherwise desire to
liquidate their shares.
 
 The
market price of our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a
relatively small company with a small and thinly traded “float” that could lead
to wide fluctuations in our stock price. The price at which our common stock is
purchased may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading
market. An investor in our common stock may be unable to sell their common stock
at or above their purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial
losses to such investor.
  21
  The
market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility
when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our stock price will
continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future.
The volatility in our stock price is attributable to a number of factors. As
noted above, our common stock is sporadically and/or thinly traded. As a
consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small
quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the
price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for
example, decline precipitously in the event a large number of our shares are
sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer
which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its stock price.
The following factors also may add to the volatility in the price of our common
stock: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating
results; adverse outcomes; additions to or departures of our key personnel, as
well as other items discussed under this “Risk Factors” section, as well as
elsewhere in this prospectus. Many of these factors are beyond our control and
may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating
performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the
prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time, including as
to whether our common stock will sustain its current market prices, or as to
what effect the sale of shares or the availability of shares for sale at any
time will have on the prevailing market price.
 
 If
we do not meet the listing standards established by national securities exchange
markets such as Nasdaq and NYSE Alternext US LLC, our common stock may not
become listed for trading on one of those markets, which may restrict the
liquidity of shares held by our stockholders.
 
 We have
applied for listing of our common stock for trading on national securities
exchanges, and the applications are currently pending.  The listing of
our common stock on a national securities exchange may result in a more active
public market for our common stock, resulting in turn in greater liquidity of
shares held by our stockholders. National securities exchanges such as Nasdaq
and NYSE Alternext US LLC have established certain quantitative criteria and
qualitative standards that companies must meet in order to become and remain
listed for trading on these markets. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to
maintain all necessary requirements for listing; therefore, we cannot guarantee
that our common stock will be listed for trading on a national securities
exchange.
 
 Volatility
in our common stock price may subject us to securities litigation that could
result in substantial costs to our business.
 
 The
market for our common stock may be characterized by significant price volatility
when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect our stock price will be more
volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past,
plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a
company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities.
We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities
litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert
management’s attention and resources that otherwise could have been focused on
our business operations.
 
 Past
activities of our company and affiliates may lead to future liability for our
company.
 
 Prior to
our acquisition of Premier Power California, we were a third-party logistics
provider for supply chain management, a business unrelated to our current
operations. Any liabilities relating to such prior business against which we are
not completely indemnified will be borne by us and may result in substantial
costs to the Company and could divert management’s attention and resources that
otherwise could have been focused on our business operations.
 
 We
have raised substantial amounts of capital in recent financings, and if we
inadvertently failed to comply with applicable securities laws, ensuing
rescission rights or lawsuits would severely damage our financial
position.
 
 The
securities offered in our September 9, 2008 and June 16, 2009 private placement
financings were not registered under the Act or any state “blue sky” law in
reliance upon exemptions from such registration requirements. Such exemptions
are highly technical in nature, and if we inadvertently failed to comply with
the requirements or any of such exemptive provisions, the investor would have
the right to rescind their purchase of our securities or sue for damages. If the
investor was to successfully seek such rescission or prevail in any such suit,
we would face severe financial demands that could materially and adversely
affect our financial position. Financings that may be available to us under
current market conditions frequently involve sales at prices below the prices at
which our common stock currently is quoted on the OTC or exchange on which our
common stock may in the future be listed, as well as the issuance of warrants or
convertible securities at a discount to market price.
 
 Our
principal stockholders are two members of our management.  As these
principal stockholders substantially control our corporate actions, our other
stockholders may face difficulty in exerting any influence over matters not
supported by these two members of management.
 
 Our
principal stockholders include Dean R. Marks, who is our Chairman of the Board,
President, and Chief Executive Officer, and Miguel de Anquin, who is our Chief
Operating Officer and Corporate Secretary and a member of our Board. Messrs.
Marks and de Anquin own approximately 62.0% of our outstanding shares of common
stock. These stockholders, acting individually or as a group, could exert
substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our
certificate of incorporation or bylaws, and approving mergers or other business
combinations or transactions. In addition, because of the percentage of
ownership and voting concentration in these principal stockholders and their
affiliated entities, elections of our board of directors will generally be
within the control of these stockholders and their affiliated entities. While
all of our stockholders are entitled to vote on matters submitted to our
stockholders for approval, the concentration of shares and voting control
presently lies with these principal stockholders and their affiliated entities.
As such, it would be difficult for stockholders to propose and have approved
proposals not supported by these principal stockholders and their affiliated
entities. There can be no assurance that matters voted upon by our officers and
directors in their capacity as stockholders will be viewed favorably by all
stockholders of our company. The stock ownership of our principal stockholders
and their affiliated entities may discourage a potential acquirer from seeking
to acquire shares of our common stock which, in turn, could reduce our stock
price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock
price.
  22
  We
are responsible for the indemnification of our officers and directors, which
could result in substantial expenditures.
 
 Our
bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees,
and agents, and, under certain circumstances, against attorneys’ fees and other
expenses incurred by them in litigation to which they become a party arising
from their association with or activities on behalf of the Company. This
indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures, which we may be
unable to recoup.
 
 Our certificate of incorporation
authorizes our board to create new series of preferred stock without further
approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the
holders of our common stock.
 
 Our board
of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and
preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors also has the authority to
issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our
board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock
that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation,
the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the
holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together
with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock. In addition, our
board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock
that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into
our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common
stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
 
 Contractual
limitations that restrict conversion of securities held by Vision Opportunity
Master Fund, Ltd. may not necessarily prevent substantial dilution of the voting
power and value of an investment in our securities.
 
 The
contractual limitations that restrict conversion of shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
held by Vision Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. (“Vision”) for shares of our common
stock are limited in their application and effect and may not prevent
substantial dilution of our existing stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of such
securities, Vision may not convert the Series A Stock or the Series B Stock to
the extent that such conversion would cause Vision’s beneficial ownership,
together with its affiliates, to exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of our
outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
shares of common stock as a result of a conversion.  Vision, may,
however waive this limitation upon 61 days’ notice to the Company.  In
addition, this 9.99% limitation does not prevent Vision from converting the
Series A Stock or the Series B Stock into shares of our common stock and
then reselling those shares in stages over time where Vision and its affiliates
do not, at any given time, beneficially own shares in excess of the 9.99%
limitation.  Consequently, this limitation will not necessarily
prevent substantial dilution of the voting power and value of an investment in
our securities.

 Item 3.  Legal
Proceedings.
 
 We are
not currently involved in any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware
of any material legal proceedings pending or threatened against
us.  We are also not aware of any material legal proceedings involving
any of our directors, officers, or affiliates or any owner of record or
beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities.
  In
connection with Rupinvest’s purchase of the
10% noncontrolling interest in Premier Power Italy from Esdras, Esdras has
notified Rupinvest that it does not believe that it was properly notified of the
intent to acquire and believes a premium on the purchase price was
necessary. The Company disagrees with this position. No legal proceedings have
been threatened. In the event, however, that legal proceedings are
conducted, we do not anticipate a material exposure.
 Item

purposes.
 
 The first
purpose of the annual meeting was to re-elect five directors to serve until the

On
December 19, 2008, our board of directors approved the Premier Power Renewable
Energy, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  All of our
employees, officers, and directors, and those of our consultants who (i) are
natural persons and (ii) provide bona fide services to the Company not connected
to a capital raising transaction or the promotion or creation of a market for
our securities are eligible to be granted options or restricted stock awards
(each, an “Award”) under the Plan.  The Plan is administered by our
board, and the board establishes certain terms of option awards, including the
exercise price and duration.  Awards may be made under the Plan for up
to 2,951,875 shares of our common stock, and the maximum number of shares of
common stock with respect to which Awards may be granted to a “covered employee”
as defined by section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
is 1,500,000 shares of common stock.  The Plan allows for adjustments
for changes in common stock and certain other events, including, but not limited
to, any change in control, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, combination of shares, spin-off, any extraordinary
distribution, and liquidation or dissolution.

Future and Premier Power Spain, both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of
Premier Power California, which is our wholly owned subsidiary. We also
distribute solar modules and develop and integrate ground mount and rooftop
solar power systems in Italy through Premier Power Italy, the wholly owned
subsidiary of Rupinvest, which is our wholly owned subsidiary. We use solar
components from the solar industry’s leading suppliers and manufacturers such as
General Electric, Sharp, Kyocera, Fronius, Watsun, and SunPower
Corporation.





On
September 9, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Premier Power
California in exchange for the issuance by the Company of 24,218,750 restricted
shares of our common stock to the stockholders of Premier Power California,
which represented approximately 93.1% of the then issued and outstanding common
stock of the Company (excluding the shares issued in a related financing). As a
result of this share exchange, Premier Power California became our wholly owned
subsidiary, and we acquired the business and operations of Premier Power
California, Bright Future, and Premier Power Spain. See the “Business” section
above for additional details regarding this 2008 share exchange.





Concurrently
with the closing of the September 2008 share exchange, we raised $7 million in a
private placement financing by issuing a total of 3.5 million units, with each
unit consisting of one share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
one-half of one Series A Warrant, and one-half of one Series B Warrant to
investors at $2.00 per unit. See the “Business” section above for additional
details regarding this financing.





On June
16, 2009, we raised $3 million in a private placement financing by issuing 2.8
million shares of our Series B Preferred Stock.  In connection with
this financing, we also cancelled all issued and outstanding Series A Warrants
and Series B Warrants that were held by the investor.  See the
“Business” section above for additional details regarding this
financing.





On July
31, 2009, we purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding equity ownership of
Rupinvest from Esdras. The terms of the transaction are set forth in a Share
Exchange Agreement entered into on June 3, 2009 between the Company, Rupinvest,
and Esdras.  Prior to the closing, Rupinvest was a wholly owned
subsidiary of Esdras.  We acquired Rupinvest from Esdras in exchange
for (i) a cash payment by us to Esdras in the amount of twelve thousand five
hundred Euros (€12,500, or approximately $18,292) and (ii) the potential
transfer to Esdras of up to 3 million shares of our common stock, with the
number of shares to be transferred, if any, to be calculated based on achieving
certain sales and gross margin goals by Premier Power Italy, Rupinvest’s
subsidiary, over a three-year period. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction,
we also made a capital contribution in the amount of one million, one hundred
and twenty five thousand Euros (€1,125,000, or approximately $1,580,063) into
Premier Power Italy.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates





Our
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses
during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and
assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.





While our
significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our
consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting
policies are the most critical to aid the reader in fully understanding and
evaluating this discussion and analysis:




Basis of Presentation –The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”), and include the accounts of Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc. and
its subsidiaries.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.





Inventories –Inventories,
consisting primarily of raw materials, are recorded using the average cost
method, and are carried at the lower of cost or market.





Stock-Based Compensation –The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions
of  Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 718 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004), “Share-Based
Payment”), which requires the Company to measure the stock-based
compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant
date fair value and generally recognizes the costs in the financial statements
over the employee’s requisite service period.  Stock-based
compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted was based
on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FASB
ASC 718.





Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
–The Company does not amortize goodwill, but rather tests goodwill for
impairment at least annually. We
determine the fair value using a weighted market and income
approach. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a
reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash
flows. Under the market approach, we calculate the fair value of the
reporting unit using selected comparable company’s revenue multiples from the
Public Guideline Companiesand apply the lowest revenue multiple to the Company’s revenue. If the
fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets
including goodwill assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired.  If the
carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets including goodwill exceeds the
fair value of the reporting unit, then we determine the implied fair value of
the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s
goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment of goodwill has
occurred and we recognize an impairment of loss for the difference between the
carrying amount and the implied fair value of goodwill as a component of
operating income. We did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in 2009
and 2008. Intangible
assets, consisting of a customer list, trademarks, and employee contract
are amortized over their estimated useful lifes ranging from 2-17
years.





Fair Value of Financial Instruments –The carrying value reported for cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
prepaid expenses, other receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities
approximated their respective fair values at each balance sheet date due to the
short-term maturity of these financial instruments.





Revenue Recognition –Revenue
on solar power projects installed by the Company for customers under
installation contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method
of accounting. At the end of each period, the Company measures the cost incurred
on each project and compares the result against its estimated total costs at
completion. The percent of cost incurred determines the amount of revenue to be
recognized. Payment terms are generally defined by the installation contract and
as a result may not match the timing of the costs incurred by the Company and
the related recognition of revenue. Such differences are recorded as either
costs or estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts or
billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. The
Company determines a customer’s credit worthiness at the time an order is
accepted. Sudden and unexpected changes in a customer’s financial condition
could put recoverability at risk.





Contract
costs include all direct material and labor costs attributable to a project as
well as certain indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect
labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. Selling, general, and
administrative costs are charged to expense, as incurred. Provisions for
estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such
losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated
profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and
final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are
recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit
incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably
assured.


30


The
percentage of completion method requires the ability to estimate several
factors, including the ability of the customer to meet its obligations under the
contract, including the payment of amounts when due. If we determine that
collectability is not assured at the onset of a contract, we will defer revenue
recognition and use methods of accounting for the contract such as completed
contract method until such time we determine that collectability is reasonably
assured or through the completion of the project.
  Revenue
related to distribution sales is recognized when we have received either a
purchase order or contract, deem delivery of product to have occurred, when the
title and risk of ownership have passed to the buyer and we determine that
collection is probable.  Some Customers will pay the Company and ask
the Company to segregate and store the product separate from other
products.  The Company considers the risk has passed when payment and
segregation has occurred.




Product Warranties –The
Company warrants its projects for labor and materials associated with its
installations.  The Company’s warranty is ten years in California and
generally five to ten years elsewhere in the U.S., depending upon each state’s
specific requirements. We provide a one year warranty in Spain for all
contracts. Italy provided a ten year warranty covering the labor and materials
associated with its installations. Since the Company does not have sufficient
historical data to estimate its exposure, we have looked to our historical data
and the historical data reported by other solar system installers. Solar panels
and inverters are warranted by the manufacturer for 25 years and 10 years,
respectively.




Income Taxes –The Company accounts for
income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial
reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the weight of available evidence, including expected future
earnings. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.Prior to September 2008, the Company
was not subject to federal income tax.
 
 Effective
September 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 740-10 (Financial Accounting
Standards Interpretation FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48)). FASB ASC
740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in a company’s income tax return and provides guidance
on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition.  As a result of the
implementation of FASB ASC 740-10, the Company recognized no change in the
liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in prior
periods and no corresponding change in retained earnings.   As a
result of the implementation of FASB ASC 740-10, the Company recognized no
material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits as of
the September 2008 adoption date and at December 31, 2009. The Company does not
expect there to be any material change to the assessment of uncertain tax
positions over the next twelve months.
  Premier
Power Spain is organized under the laws of Spain and is subject to federal and
provincial taxes.  Premier Power Italy is recognized under the laws of
Italy and is subject to federal and provincial taxes.
  Contingent
Consideration Liability– In connection with the acquisition of
Rupinvest, contingent consideration liability of $12 million was recorded at the
time of the purchase. The contingent consideration liability relates to the
contingent issuance of 3 million shares to the sellers of
Rupinvest. In
accordance with FASB ASC 820 the Company estimates the fair value of the
contingent consideration liability at each reporting period, with changes in the
estimated fair value recorded in income.
 
 The fair
value measurement assumes that the contingent consideration liability is
transferred to a market participant at the valuation date and that the
nonperformance risk related to the contingent consideration liability remains
constant. The Company estimates the fair value using the market price of its
shares since it believes this represents the present value of its future stock
returns, discounted at the Company’s required rate of return. The Company also
estimates the number of shares to be issued based on a number of financial
scenarios weighted based on their relative probability. The Company considers
the effect of counterparty performance risk in its fair value estimate. The
Company estimates the counterparty performance risk by comparing its borrowing
rate to those of U.S. treasury notes and uses the underlying spread to
discount the estimated fair value.


Summary
of 2009 Results of Operations





Our total
net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $30.7 million, a decrease of
$13.5 million, or 30%, from the year ended December 31, 2008.  U.S.
net sales was $14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of
$17.1 million, or 55%, from the prior year.  Spain’s net sales were
$5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $7.2 million,
or 55%, from the prior year.  Our Italian operations provided $10.8
million of net sales in its first 5 months of operations.  The
decrease in our net sales was primarily due to the overall economic environment,
the resulting decrease in and/or postponements of capital spending by our
customers, and the reduction in the pricing and cost of solar systems requiring
more installations sales to match the prior year’s net sales.





Our net
income for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $3.7 million, or $0.14 per
share, compared to net income of $0.8 million, or $0.03 per share, for year
ended December 31, 2008.  Net income included $6.5 million associated
with changes in fair value of financial instruments. Our profitability is
primarily dependent upon revenue from sales to commercial, governmental,
residential, and equity fund customers.  Profitability is also
affected by the costs and expenses associated with installation of
systems.  Cost of sales decreased by $12.4 million, or 32%, in the
year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the prior fiscal year.  The
decrease was primarily the result of cost reductions and lower
sales.  Operating expenses increased by $4.0 million, or 84%, for the
year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008,
due primarily to the acquisition of Premier Power Italy, the costs associated
with our first full fiscal year of being a public company following the reverse
merger in 2008, and stock-based compensation.

Our net
sales include revenue recognized under installation contracts using the
percentage of completion method of accounting.  Additionally, we
derive net sales from distribution sales to customers in Italy and Spain. This
decrease in the United States is largely the result of three items: the
financial crisis, which slowed business development dramatically in the first
half of the year, the lack of available project finance as a result of the
Company’s focus on larger projects, and the fact that we had one large
commercial deal in the U.S. last year.  The decrease in our Spanish
market is largely the result of more protracted sales process resulting from new
permitting laws in Spain that have taken permit timing from as little as one
month to more than 6 months.  The growth in Italian net sales is a
result of the acquisition of our Italian subsidiary in the third quarter of
2009.

Cost of sales include all direct
material and labor costs attributable to a project as well as certain indirect
costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools,
repairs, and depreciation costs.  Cost of sales for the U.S. decreased
$14.8 million, or 55%, for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year
ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease was primarily the result of
cost reductions and lower sales.  U.S. gross margin decreased to 11.5%
due to the increased competitive nature of the industry and the scope and size
of projects as smaller projects typically have lower gross
margins.  Cost of sales for our Spanish operations decreased $6.4
million, or 56%, for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2008.  The decrease was primarily the result of a
decrease in net sales.  The gross margin for our Spanish operations
increased slightly to 14.7% and remains competitive in the
marketplace.  The gross margin for our Italian operations was 18.3%
and is a combination of our higher margin solar projects and our lower
margin distribution margins.

Sales
and Marketing Expenses





Sales and marketing expenses consist
primarily of personnel costs and costs related to our sales force and marketing
staff.  They also include expenses relating to advertising, brand
building, marketing promotions and trade show events, lead generation, and
travel. Commissions are due and payable when customer payment is
received.  Accordingly, selling and marketing expense were higher in
2009 as a result of strong 2008 fourth quarter revenues. Sales and
marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased by $.7 million,
or 31%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, which is due to the
addition of our newly acquired Italian operations, stock-based compensation, and
the variability in sales commission expense associated with the increase or
decrease in product revenue.


32


General
and Administrative Expenses





General and administrative expenses
consist of personnel and related costs for accounting, legal, information
systems, human resources, and other administrative functions.  They
also include professional service fees, bad debt expense, other corporate
expenses and related overhead.  General and administrative expenses
increased by $3.3 million, or 132%, for the year ended December 31, 2009
compared to the year ended December 31, 2008.  The increase was
attributable to higher professional service fees incurred for the purchase of
our Italian operations, higher auditing and legal fees associated with being a
public company for the first full fiscal year following the reverse merger in
2008, first time Italian operating expenses, and stock-based
compensation.




Other
Income and Expenses




Other income and expense consists of
change in fair value of financial instruments, interest income, interest
expense, and other income (expense).  Change in fair value of
financial instruments consists of gain on the fair value and cancellation of
warrant liability (Note 13) and changes in the fair value of contingent
consideration liability (Note 12).  Other income consists of gain on
sale of a special purpose entity in Italy.  For the year ended
December 31, 2009, interest expense increased by $7 thousand, or 9%, compared to
the year ended December 31, 2008, due to increased borrowing in
Spain.




Income
Tax Benefit




The effective tax rate in the years
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was (65.9)% and 4.5%,
respectively.  The effective tax rate in the year ended December 31,
2009 differed from the federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to the
recognition of net operating losses.





Liquidity





Cash
Flows





The
Company generates cash from operations primarily from cash collections related
to its installation sales.  Net cash flow used in operating activities
was $6.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with net cash
used by operations of $.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2008.  The decrease in net cash flow from operating activities was
primarily a result of the increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of
billings on uncompleted contracts of $14.3 million for the solar projects in
Italy, operating loss of $4.3 million, increase in accounts receivable of $2.6
million, and decrease in billings in excess costs of $0.8 million, offset by an
increase of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $15
million.





Net cash
flow used in investing activities was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The decrease in
net cash flow from investing activities was due to the assets purchased in
our Italian acquisition.





Net cash
flow provided by financing activities was $4.5 million and $4.8 million for
the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The
decrease in net cash flow from financing activities was mainly due to
proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $3 million and proceeds from
borrowings of $2.4 million.  We used cash in financing activities to
pay down debt of $0.3 million and pay for costs related to share registration of
$.6 million.




Material
Impact of Known Events on Liquidity




Our
expanding large-scale solar power project development business in Italy is
expected to have increasing liquidity requirements in the future. Solar
power project development cycles can take several months to develop. In
certain of our markets, primarily Italy, it is not uncommon to receive payment
at the end of a project. This may require us to make an advancement of costs
prior to cash receipts. To date, we have financed these up front construction
costs using working capital and cash on hand.





The
disruption in the credit markets has had a significant adverse impact on a
number of financial institutions.  As of December 31, 2009, however,
our liquidity and capital investments have not been materially adversely
impacted, and we believe that they will not be materially adversely impacted in
the near future.  We will continue to closely monitor our liquidity
and the credit markets.  Nonetheless, we cannot predict with any
certainty the impact to us of any further disruption in the credit
environment.





There are
no other known events that are expected to have a material impact on our
short-term or long-term liquidity.


33


Capital
Resources





We have
financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations and debt
and equity financings.  We have in place a $7.0 million credit
line with Umpqua Bank that is available for working capital and capital
expenditures, which expires on July 13, 2011, and Premier Power Spain has a
100,000 Euro credit line that is available for working capital, which expires on
May 21, 2010. The amount available for borrowing is limited by certain
financial calculations. At December 31, 2009, $0.3 million was available
under the Umpqua line.  Thus, we believe that our current cash and cash
equivalents, anticipated cash flow from operations, and our lines of credit with
banks will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including our cash
needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12
months. The proceeds from the private placement financings were used for general
working capital purposes, including funding the purchase of additional inventory
and advertising and marketing expenses.





Notwithstanding
the above, we may seek to raise additional cash to fund future project
investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. To the extent it becomes
necessary to raise additional cash in the future, we may seek to raise it
through the sale of debt or equity securities, funding from joint-venture or
strategic partners, debt financing or loans, issuance of common stock, or a
combination of the foregoing. Other than our lines of credit, we currently do
not have any binding commitments for, or readily available sources of,
additional financing. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to
secure the additional cash or working capital we may require to continue our
operations.





Contractual
Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





Line
of Credit




On July
13, 2009, we entered into a loan agreement with Umpqua Bank, an Oregon
corporation, for a line of credit of up to $12 million, maturing on July 13,
2011.  The loan agreement provides for an initial line of credit of $7
million, provided, however, that we may request no more than twice prior to the
maturity date that the line of credit be increased to an amount not to exceed
$12.0 million in the event that we acquire another subsidiary and require
additional working capital for such subsidiary.  The line of credit is
secured by its assets and by the assets of Premier Power California and Bright
Future.  The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate,
provided, however, that the interest rate will not be less than five percent
(5%) per annum.  At December 31, 2009, the interest rate was
5%.  As of December 31, 2009, there is $1.5 million outstanding under
the agreement with Umpqua Bank.




The
loan agreement with Umpqua Bank contains various financial condition covenants
with which we must comply, including minimum current ratio, maximum debt to
tangible net worth ratio, and minimum tangible net worth.  Under the
loan agreement, we are also subject to customary non-financial covenants
including limitations in secured indebtedness and limitations on dividends and
other restricted payments.  We were out of compliance with
certain covenants as of December 31, 2009 primarily as a result of the
Contingent Consideration Liability.  See note 12 to our consolidated
financial statements.  As of March 24, 2010, the bank is aware of
the non-compliance and has not waived the non-compliance. The bank has not
issued a notice of default, nor instituted default rates, nor cut funding under
the line. We do not expect any of these events to occur and are currently
working with the bank to redefine our financial covenants.




Contractual
Obligations





We have
certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future
estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions,
changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments
differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing
and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most
significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the
tables in order to assist in the review of this information within the context
of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows.





The
following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2009,
and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash
flows in future periods.

Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements





In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB ASC
805 (FAS No. 141(R), “Business
Combinations” (“FASB 141(R)”)), which requires the acquiring entity in a
business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition date fair
value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities
assumed, and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all
of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial
effect of the business combination.  FASB ASC 805 is prospectively
effective to business combinations for which the acquisition is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December
15, 2008.  The impact of FASB ASC 805 on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements will be determined in part by the nature and timing of any
future acquisitions completed.  See Note 5.




In March
2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 815-40 (SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivatives
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
133”).  FASB ASC 815-40 requires enhanced disclosures about a
company’s derivative and hedging activities. ASC 815-40 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. The adoption of FASB ASC 815-40 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial
position.





In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 350-30 (FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 142-3,
“Determination of the Useful
Life of Intangible Assets”). FASB ASC 350-30 amends
the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets
under FASB ASC 350-30 (SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets”). FASB ASC 350-30 must be applied prospectively to intangible
assets acquired after the effective date. The Company applied the guidance of
the FASB ASC 350-30 to intangible assets acquired after January 1,
2009.  The Company’s adoption of FASB ASC 350-30 did not have a
material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.





In June
2008, the FASB ratified FASB ASC 815-40 (EITF Issue 07-5 (EITF 07-5), “Determining Whether an Instrument
(or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”). FASB ASC
815-40 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate
whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed
to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and
settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign currency
denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation
instruments. FASB ASC 815-40 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years.  On January 1,
2009, the Company adopted this pronouncement (see Note 12).





In April
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 825-10-65 and FASB ASC 270 (“FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”), which increases
the frequency of fair value disclosures to a quarterly basis instead of on an
annual basis. The guidance relates to fair value disclosures for any financial
instruments that are not currently reflected on an entity’s balance sheet at
fair value. FASB ASC 825-10-65 and FASB ASC 270 are effective for interim and
annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of  FASB ASC
825-10-65 and FASB ASC 270 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.





In May
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 470 (Staff Position No. APB 14-1 “Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement)”).  FASB ASC 470 clarifies that convertible debt
instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash
settlement) are not addressed by FASB ASC 470-20-65-1 (paragraph 12 of APB
Opinion No. 14, “Accounting
for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”).
Additionally, FASB ASC 470 specifies that issuers of such instruments should
separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will
reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is
recognized in subsequent periods. FASB ASC 470 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FASB ASC 470 did not have a
material effect on our consolidated financial statements.





In May
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855 (SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”), which
establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or
are available to be issued. In particular, FASB ASC 855 sets forth (a) the
period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting
entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential
recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (b) the circumstances
under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after
the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (c) the disclosures that
an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the
balance sheet date. FASB ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 855 did
not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows,
or financial position.

In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810 (SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R)”). FASB ASC 810 applies to FASB ASC 105 entities and is
effective for annual financial periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and for
interim periods within those years. Earlier application is prohibited. A
calendar year-end company must adopt this statement as of January 1, 2010. The
Company does not anticipate the adoption of FASB ASC 810 to have a material
impact on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial
position.





In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 860 (SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”). FASB ASC 860
applies to all entities and is effective for annual financial periods beginning
after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within those years. Earlier
application is prohibited. A calendar year-end company must adopt this statement
as of January 1, 2010. This statement retains many of the criteria of FASB ASC
860 (FASB 140, “Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities”) to determine whether a transfer of financial assets
qualifies for sale accounting, but there are some significant changes as
discussed in the statement. Its disclosure and measurement requirements apply to
all transfers of financial assets occurring on or after the effective date. Its
disclosure requirements, however, apply to transfers that occurred bothbefore and after the
effective date. In addition, because FASB ASC 860 eliminates the consolidation
exemption for Qualifying Special Purpose Entities, a company will have to
analyze all existing QSPEs to determine whether they must be consolidated under
FASB ASC 810. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of FASB ASC 860 to
have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial
position.




In August
2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair
Value.”ASU
2009-05 applies to all entities that measure liabilities at fair value within
the scope of FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures.”ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period (including
interim periods) beginning after issuance, October 1, 2009 for the Company. The
Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-05 to have a material impact on
results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.





In August
2009, an update was made to Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.”This
update permits entities to measure the fair value of liabilities, in
circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical
liability is not available, using a valuation technique that uses a quoted price
of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar
liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or the income or market
approach that is consistent with the principles ofFair Value Measurements and
Disclosures.Effective upon issuance, the Company has adopted
this guidance.  See Note 16.





In
October 2009, the FASB ratified FASB ASC 605-25 (the EITF’s final consensus on
Issue 00-21, “Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”). FASB ASC 605-25 is effective
for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier adoption is
permitted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial
statements.

Board of Directors and
Shareholders
 Premier Power Renewable Energy,
Inc.
 El Dorado Hills,California
  We have audited the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets of Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years
then ended. 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 audits.
  We conducted our audits in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States).  Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
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
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
  In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries
at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in theUnited States of America.
  As
discussed in Note14to the financial
statements in 2009, the Company has changed its methodofaccounting for warrants
which are not indexed to its stockdue to the adoption ofFASB ASC
815 (EITF
07-5), DeterminingWhether
an Instrument (or embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own
Stock).

1.
            ORGANIZATION
AND NATURE OF BUSINESS




Premier
Power Renewable Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), through its
wholly owned subsidiaries, Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc., a California
corporation (“Premier Power California”), and Rupinvest Sarl (“Rupinvest”), and
Premier Power California’s two wholly owned subsidiaries, Bright Future
Technologies LLC (“Bright Future”) and Premier Power Sociedad Limitada (“Premier
Power Spain”), and Rupinvest’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Premier Power Italy
S.p.A. (“Premier Power Italy”) (collectively the “Company”) designs, engineers,
and installs photovoltaic systems in the United States, Spain, and
Italy.





Prior to
September 9, 2008, Premier Power California and Bright Future were wholly owned
by a common shareholder group. That same shareholder group was deemed to
exercise control over Premier Power Spain through a 51% ownership interest,
management control, and the absence of disproportionate voting rights. On
September 1, 2008, that shareholder group exchanged their interests in Premier
Power Spain for shares of common stock of Premier Power California. On August
27, 2008, the holders of the 49% noncontrolling interest in Premier
Power Spain exchanged their interests in Premier Power Spain for shares of
common stock of Premier Power California. A summary of the fair value of the
acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities held by the 49%
noncontrolling interest is as follows:

The historical financial statements of the
Company prior to September 9, 2008 present its financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows on a combined basis.





Pursuant
to a reverse acquisition between the Parent (formerly “Harry’s Trucking, Inc.”)
and Premier Power California that closed on September 9, 2008, the shareholders
of Premier Power California exchanged 100% of their interests for an aggregate
24,218,750 shares of the Parent’s common stock.





Subsequent
to the merger, the former shareholders of Premier Power California held
approximately 87% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The merger was
considered to be a reverse acquisition accounted for as a recapitalization.
Premier Power California was considered to be the accounting acquirer, and the
historical financial statements of the Company are those of Premier Power
California. The outstanding shares, members’ equity, and earnings per share in
the historical financial statements have been restated to give effect to the
shares of common stock issued to the controlling shareholders.




Concurrently
with the closing of the share exchange on September 9, 2008, the Company raised
$7 million in a private placement financing in which Vision Opportunity Master
Fund, Ltd. (“Vision”) was the investor (the “Financing”) by issuing a total of
3.5 million units (the “Units”) at $2.00 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of
one share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, one-half of one
Series A Warrant, and one-half of one Series B Warrant.





On June
16, 2009, the Company sold to Vision 2.8 million shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock (bearing no liquidation preference, no coupon payments, and no
redemption rights) in exchange for the cancellation of the 3.5 million Series A
and Series B warrants held by Vision, and $3 million in cash.  The
cancellation of warrants resulted in the elimination of all the Company’s issued
and outstanding warrants.

On July
31, 2009, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding equity
ownership of Rupinvest, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws
of Luxembourg, from Esdras Ltd., a corporation duly organized and existing under
the laws of Cyprus (“Esdras”).  Rupinvest distributes, develops, and
integrates ground mount and rooftop solar power systems in Italy through its
then majority-owned subsidiary, Premier Power Italy (formerly known as ARCO
Energy, SRL), a private limited liability company organized under the laws of
Italy.  The terms of the transaction are set forth in a Share Exchange
Agreement entered into on June 3, 2009 between the Company, Rupinvest, and
Esdras.  Prior to the closing, Rupinvest was a wholly owned subsidiary
of Esdras.  The Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
equity ownership interest in Rupinvest from Esdras in exchange for: (a) a cash
payment by us to Esdras in the amount of twelve thousand five hundred Euros
(€12,500, or approximately $18,292); and (b) the potential transfer to Esdras of
up to three million shares of  the Company’s restricted common stock,
with the number of shares to be transferred, if any, to be calculated based on
achieving certain sales by Premier Power Italy over a three-year
period.  The Company opened escrow for the Rupinvest acquisition on
July 9, 2009 under an Escrow Agreement, which was subsequently amended on
July 22, 2009 and July 30, 2009.  Capita Trust Company Limited, a
private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (the “Escrow Agent”),
acted as escrow agent.  The Company delivered to the Escrow Agent the
stock certificate evidencing three million restricted shares of the Parent’s
common stock, which certificate is registered in the name of the Escrow Agent’s
custodial delegate. Such shares are presented as issued and outstanding on the
Company’s December 31, 2009 balance sheet and statement of shareholders’ equity.
 Pursuant to the closing of this transaction, the Company conducts
operations in Italy through Premier Power Italy.





On
December 31, 2009, Rupinvest purchased the remaining 10% interest of Premier
Power Italy from Esdras at Esdras’s initial capital contribution per the Share
Exchange Agreement, and Premier Power Italy became the wholly owned subsidiary
of Rupinvest.

            SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES




Basis of Presentation –The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Parent and its
subsidiaries.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.





Concentrations and Credit Risk –Two customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s sales for the
year ended December 31, 2009.  One customer accounted for 18% and two
customers accounted for 12% each of the Company’s sales for the year ended
December 31, 2008.  Accounts receivable primarily consist of trade
receivables and amounts due from state agencies and utilities for rebates on
solar systems installed.  At December 31, 2009, the Company had two
customers that accounted for 22.9% and 10.9% of the Company’s accounts
receivables.  At December 31, 2008, the Company had four customers
that accounted for 27%, 13%, 11%, and 10% of the Company’s accounts
receivables.  The Company monitors account balances and follows up
with accounts that are past due as defined in the terms of the contract with the
customer. To date, the Company’s losses on uncollectible accounts receivable
have been immaterial. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts
receivable based on the expected collectability of its accounts receivable. The
allowance for doubtful accounts is based on assessments of the collectability of
specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is
a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are
higher than historical experience, the allowance for doubtful accounts is
increased. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $.1 million and $.02 million
as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.




The
Company purchases its solar modules from a limited number of vendors but
believes that in the event it is unable to purchase solar panels from these
vendors; alternative sources of solar modules will be available.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements





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 certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty
reserves, revenue recognition, the estimated useful life of property and
equipment, the valuation of contingent consideration related to business
combinations and derivative instruments, and income taxes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.





Cash and Cash Equivalents –Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand or in the bank and
short-term investment securities with remaining maturities of 90 days or less at
date of purchase. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that,
at times, may exceed the statutory insured limits of the jurisdiction in which
the accounts are held.  The Company has not experienced any losses on
these investments. At December 31, 2009, the Company had $2.5 million in cash in
bank accounts in excess of the various deposit insurance limits of the
jurisdictions in which the balances were held.





Inventories –Inventories,
consisting primarily of raw materials, are recorded using the average cost
method and are carried at the lower of cost or market.




Property and Equipment –Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using
the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 years, or in the
case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter. Maintenance and
repairs are expensed as they occur.   Upon disposition, the cost
and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the
resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations.





Stock-Based Compensation –The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions
of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 718 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004), “Share-Based
Payment”), which requires the Company to measure the stock-based
compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant
date fair value and generally recognizes the costs in the financial statements
over the employee’s requisite service period.  Stock-based
compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted was based
on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FASB
ASC 718.





Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
–The Company does not amortize goodwill, but rather tests goodwill for
impairment at least annually. We
determine the fair value using a weighted market and income approach. Under
the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on
the present value of estimated future cash flows. Under the market approach, we
calculate the fair value of the reporting unit using selected comparable
companies’ revenue multiples and apply an average of such companies’ multiples
to the Company’s revenue. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the
carrying value of the net assets including goodwill assigned to that unit,
goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net
assets including goodwill exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we
determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the
carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value,
then an impairment of goodwill has occurred and we recognize an impairment of
loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the implied fair value
of goodwill as a component of operating income. We did not recognize any
goodwill impairment charges in 2009 and 2008. Intangible
assets, consisting of a customer list, trademarks, and an employee contract, are
amortized over their estimated useful lifes ranging from 2-17
years.




Fair Value of Financial Instruments –The carrying value reported for cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
prepaid expenses, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximated their respective fair values at each balance sheet date due to the
short-term maturity of these financial instruments.





Revenue Recognition –Revenue
on solar power projects installed by the Company for customers under
installation contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method
of accounting. At the end of each period, the Company measures the cost incurred
on each project and compares the result against its estimated total costs at
completion. The percent of cost incurred determines the amount of revenue to be
recognized. Payment terms are generally defined by the installation contract and
as a result may not match the timing of the costs incurred by the Company and
the related recognition of revenue. Such differences are recorded as either
costs or estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts or
billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. The
Company determines a customer’s credit worthiness at the time an order is
accepted. Sudden and unexpected changes in a customer’s financial condition
could put recoverability at risk.

Notes

Contract
costs include all direct material and labor costs attributable to a project as
well as certain indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect
labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. Selling, general, and
administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for
estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such
losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated
profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and
final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are
recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit
incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably
assured.




The
percentage of completion method requires the ability to estimate several
factors, including the ability of the customer to meet its obligations under the
contract, including the payment of amounts when due. If we determine that
collectability is not assured at the onset of a contract, we will defer revenue
recognition and use methods of accounting for the contract such as completed
contract method until such time we determine that collectability is reasonably
assured or through the completion of the project.




Revenue
related to distribution sales is recognized when we have received either a
purchase order or contract, deem delivery of product to have occurred, when the
title and risk of ownership have passed to the buyer and we determine that
collection is probable.  Some customers will pay the Company and ask
the Company to segregate and store the product separate from other
products.  The Company considers the risk has passed when payment and
segregation has occurred.




Advertising –The Company
expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs were $.8
million and $.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.





Product Warranties –The
Company warrants its projects for labor and materials associated with its
installations.  The Company’s warranty is ten years in California and
generally five to ten years elsewhere in the U.S. depending upon each state’s
specific requirements, and is one year in Spain for all contracts signed after
December 31, 2006.  Italy provides a ten year warranty covering the
labor and materials associated with its installations.  Solar panels
and inverters are warranted by the manufacturer for 25 years and 10 years,
respectively. Since the
Company does not have sufficient historical data to estimate its exposure, we
have looked to our historical data and the historical data reported by other
solar system installers.Activity in the Company’s accrued warranty
reserve for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was as
follows:

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements





Foreign Currency –The
functional currency of Premier Power Spain and Italy is the Euro. Their assets
and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, except for certain
non-monetary balances, which are translated at historical rates. All income and
expense amounts of Premier Power Spain and Italy are translated at average
exchange rates for the respective period. Translation gains and losses are not
included in determining net income but are accumulated in a separate component
of shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are
included in the determination of net income (loss) in the period in which they
occur. For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the foreign currency
transaction gain was $0.3 million and $0.01 million,
respectively.




Noncontrolling Interest –The
noncontrolling interest reflected in the statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2008 represents the 49% shareholdings of the noncontrolling
shareholders in the Company’s Spanish operations, Premier Power Spain through
September 9, 2008.  Concurrent with the reverse merger, these
shareholdings were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock and no
longer reported as noncontrolling interest effective September 9,
2008.





The
noncontrolling interest reflected in the statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2009 represents the 10% shareholdings of the noncontrolling
shareholders in the Company’s Italian operations, Premier Power
Italy.  On December 31, 2009, Rupinvest purchased the 10%
noncontrolling interest from Esdras; thus, as of December 31, 2009, there is no
longer a noncontrolling interest in the Company’s operations.





FASB ASC
Topic 810, “Consolidation” (SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”) was
effective on January 1, 2009 for the Company and established accounting
reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary.  The
retrospective presentation and disclosure requirements outlined by the
consolidation guidance have been incorporated into this Annual Report on Form
10-K for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.




In
accordance with the new guidance on noncontrolling interests, the Company
revised all previous references to “minority interests” in the consolidated 2008
financial statements to “noncontrolling interest,” and also made the following
changes to the 2008 consolidated financial statements:





●
            The
      Consolidated Statements of Operations now present “Net income (loss),”
      which includes “Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest”
      and “Net income (loss) attributable to Premier Power Renewable Energy,
      Inc.”  Earnings per share is now identified as attributable to
      Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc.●
            The
      Consolidated Balance Sheets now present “Noncontrolling interest” as a
      component of “Shareholders’ equity.”  The Premier Power
      Renewable Energy, Inc. shareholders’ equity is equivalent to the
      previously reported “Total shareholders’
  equity.”


●
            The
      Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity separately displays
      noncontrolling interest activity.





A summary
of activity related to noncontrolling interests in the Company’s subsidiaries is
as follows:

Comprehensive Income –FASB
ASC Topic 220 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive
Income,”) establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and
its components in a financial statement that is displayed with the same
prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income, as defined,
includes all changes in equity during the period from non-owner sources, such as
foreign currency translation adjustments.




Income Taxes –The Company accounts for
income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial
reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the weight of available evidence, including expected future
earnings. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.Prior to September 2008, the Company
was not subject to federal income tax.





Effective
September 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 740-10 (Financial Accounting
Standards Interpretation FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48)). FASB ASC
740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in a company’s income tax return and provides guidance
on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition.  As a result of the
implementation of FASB ASC 740-10, the Company recognized no change in the
liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in prior
periods and no corresponding change in retained earnings.   As a
result of the implementation of FASB ASC 740-10, the Company recognized no
material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits as of
the September 2008 adoption date and at December 31, 2009. Also, the Company had
no amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect its
effective tax rate.




Premier
Power Spain is organized under the laws of Spain and is subject to federal and
provincial taxes.  Premier Power Italy is recognized under the laws of
Italy and is subject to federal and provincial taxes.




Contingent Consideration Liability– In connection with the acquisition of Rupinvest, contingent
consideration liability of $12 million was recorded at the time of the purchase.
The contingent consideration liability relates to the contingent issuance of 3
million shares to the sellers of Rupinvest.

  Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements




In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB ASC
805 (FAS No. 141(R), “Business
Combinations” (“FASB 141(R)”)), which requires the acquiring entity in a
business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition date fair
value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities
assumed, and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all
of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial
effect of the business combination.  FASB ASC 805 is prospectively
effective to business combinations for which the acquisition is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December
15, 2008.  The impact of FASB ASC 805 on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements will be determined in part by the nature and timing of any
future acquisitions completed.  See Note 5.




In March
2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 815-40 (SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivatives
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
133”).  FASB ASC 815-40 requires enhanced disclosures about a
company’s derivative and hedging activities. ASC 815-40 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. The adoption of FASB ASC 815-40 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial
position.

In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 350-30 (FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 142-3,
“Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible
Assets”). FASB ASC 350-30 amends
the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets
under FASB ASC 350-30 (SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other
Intangible
Assets”). FASB ASC 350-30 must be applied prospectively to intangible
assets acquired after the effective date. The Company applied the guidance of
the FASB ASC 350-30 to intangible assets acquired after January 1,
2009.  The Company’s adoption of FASB ASC 350-30 did not have a
material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.




In June
2008, the FASB ratified FASB ASC 815-40 (EITF Issue 07-5 (EITF 07-5), “Determining Whether an Instrument
(or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexedto an Entity’s Own Stock”). FASB ASC
815-40 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate
whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed
to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and
settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign currency
denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation
instruments. FASB ASC 815-40 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years.  On January 1,
2009, the Company adopted this pronouncement (see Note 12).




In April
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 825-10-65 and FASB ASC 270 (“FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of FinancialInstruments”), which
increases the frequency of fair value disclosures to a quarterly basis instead
of on an annual basis. The guidance relates to fair value disclosures for any
financial instruments that are not currently reflected on an entity’s balance
sheet at fair value. FASB ASC 825-10-65 and FASB ASC 270 are effective for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of
 FASB ASC 825-10-65 and FASB ASC 270 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.




In May
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 470 (Staff Position No. APB 14-1 “Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement)”).  FASB ASC 470 clarifies that convertible debt
instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash
settlement) are not addressed by FASB ASC 470-20-65-1 (paragraph 12 of APB
Opinion No. 14, “Accounting
for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”).
Additionally, FASB ASC 470 specifies that issuers of such instruments should
separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will
reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is
recognized in subsequent periods. FASB ASC 470 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FASB ASC 470 did not have a
material effect on our consolidated financial statements.




In May
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855 (SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”), which establishes
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after
the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are
available to be issued. In particular, FASB ASC 855 sets forth (a) the period
after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity
should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements, (b) the circumstances under which an
entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet
date in its financial statements, and (c) the disclosures that an entity should
make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.
FASB ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial reporting periods
ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 855 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial
position.




In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810 (SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R)”). FASB ASC 810 applies to FASB ASC 105 entities and is
effective for annual financial periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and for
interim periods within those years. Earlier application is prohibited. A
calendar year-end company must adopt this statement as of January 1, 2010. The
Company does not anticipate the adoption of FASB ASC 810 to have a material
impact on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial
position.

In June
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 860 (SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 140”). FASB ASC 860 applies to all entities and is
effective for annual financial periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and for
interim periods within those years. Earlier application is prohibited. A
calendar year-end company must adopt this statement as of January 1, 2010. This
statement retains many of the criteria of FASB ASC 860 (FASB 140, “Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”) to
determine whether a transfer of financial assets qualifies for sale accounting,
but there are some significant changes as discussed in the statement. Its
disclosure and measurement requirements apply to all transfers of financial
assets occurring on or after the effective date. Its disclosure requirements,
however, apply to transfers that occurred bothbefore and after the
effective date. In addition, because FASB ASC 860 eliminates the consolidation
exemption for Qualifying Special Purpose Entities, a company will have to
analyze all existing QSPEs to determine whether they must be consolidated under
FASB ASC 810. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of FASB ASC 860 to
have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows, or financial
position.




In August
2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair
Value.”ASU 2009-05 applies to
all entities that measure liabilities at fair value within the scope of FASB ASC
820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures.”ASU 2009-05 is
effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning
after issuance, October 1, 2009 for the Company. The Company does not expect the
adoption of ASU 2009-05 to have a material impact on results of operations, cash
flows, or financial position.




In August
2009, an update was made to Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures–Measuring Liabilities at Fair
Value.”This update permits
entities to measure the fair value of liabilities, in circumstances in which a
quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available,
using a valuation technique that uses a quoted price of an identical liability
when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar
liabilities when traded as assets or the income or market approach that is
consistent with the principles ofFair Value Measurements and
Disclosures.Effective upon issuance, the Company has adopted
this guidance.  See Note 16.




In
October 2009, the FASB ratified FASB ASC 605-25 (the EITF’s final consensus on
Issue 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables”). FASB ASC 605-25 is effective for fiscal years beginning
on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier adoption is permitted on a prospective or
retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this
pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.




3.           EARNINGS
PER SHARE





Earnings
per share is computed in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260
(SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per
Share”). Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
 Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding during the period, as adjusted for the dilutive
effect of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred shares using the “if
converted” method and dilutive potential common shares. Potentially dilutive
securities include convertible preferred stock, employee stock options,
restricted shares, and contingently issuable shares for the purchase of
Rupinvest.   For the year ended December 31 2008, there were no
anti-dilutive shares.

5.           ACQUISITION





On July
31, 2009, the Company acquired Rupinvest and its then majority-owned subsidiary,
Premier Power Italy.  The Company acquired Rupinvest from Esdras in
exchange for (i) a cash payment to Esdras in the amount of twelve thousand five
hundred Euros (12,500 or approximately $18,292), and (ii) the potential transfer
to Esdras of up to 3 million shares of the Company’s common stock, with the
number of shares to be transferred, if any, to be calculated based on achieving
certain sales and gross margin goals by Premier Power Italy over a
three-year period (“Contingent Consideration”).  The fair value
assigned to the Contingent Consideration was approximately $12 million. In
conjunction with the acquisition of Rupinvest, the Company made a capital
contribution of $1.6 million to Premier Power Italy.





The
Contingent Consideration is to be distributed over a three-year period based
upon Premier Power Italy achieving certain sales and gross margin goals during
such period.  The fair value of the Contingent Consideration was
determined by an independent third party.  The valuation of the
contingent liability at the time of the acquisition used a discounted cash flow
model which was incorporated into the universal income projections for the
Company for the years 2009 through 2011 and further analyzed from a cash flow
perspective in order to determine the overall value of the Company and the
related fair value of the Company’s outstanding stock in 2009, 2010, and
2011.  The projected 2009, 2010, and 2011 fair value of the Company’s
stock price was then multiplied against a yearly estimate of shares earned by
Rupinvest.  The specific calculation of the shares earned was
determined by utilizing a probability weighted approach.  A discount
rate of 20% was used in the valuation model, based on the aggregate of 3
factors: [1] risk free rate of return, [2] market equity premium, and [3]
special company risk premium determined by the independent third party
valuation.   The resulting value materially approximated the
number of shares estimated by the Company to be earned by the seller multiplied
by the then share price of the Company’s common stock.





At December
31, 2009, an independent third party estimated the fair value of the contingent
liability using a probability weighted estimated of the number of the shares to
be earned by the seller, multiplied by the market price of the Company’s
shares.  The Company determined that the effect of counterparty
performance risk was not material to the estimated fair value of the contingent
liability.  The change in fair value of the contingent liability of
$4.3 million was recorded to other income. The
reduction in fair value was primarily due to the reduction in the Company’s
stock price since the date of acquisition.





The
acquisition of Rupinvest and Premier Power Italy was accounted for under the
accounting guidance for business combination FASB ASC 805 (FASB statement
141(R)).  Accordingly, goodwill has been measured as the excess of the
total consideration on the acquisition date over the amounts assigned to the
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.





The total
purchase price of Rupinvest and Premier Power Italy of approximately $12 million
was allocated to the net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired based
upon their estimated fair value as of July 31, 2009, as set forth
below.  The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible assets
and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill.





A summary
of the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities is as follows (in

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements





Intangible
assets consist of the estimated fair value of acquired customer
lists.  In estimating the fair value the Company used an income
approach, utilizing a discount rate of 20%.  The Company estimated the
useful life of the acquired customer lists to be three years. The gross
contractual accounts receivable amount was $.3 million.  The
qualitative factors that make up goodwill recognized include, among other
factors, Premier Power Italy management and knowledge of local business
practices and regulations.  The large premium over the fair value of the
net assets acquired is related to the stage of Premier Power Italy’s development
and the Company’s perception of the Italian marketplace.  The Company
viewed the Italian solar market as being very attractive and was willing to pay
a premium to obtain access to the market.  However, at the time of
acquisition, Premier Power Italy had not yet undertaken the development of solar
projects and as a result, the Company and Esdras, the seller of Rupinvest,
agreed to a payment structure in which substantially all of the consideration is
contingent on Premier Power Italy’s ability to perform.

Prior to
the conversion of the Company to C-corporation tax status for U.S. federal tax
purposes during the quarter ended December 31, 2008, all income and losses from
the operations of the Company generally flowed through to its shareholders. The
Company was not subject to U.S. federal income taxes at the corporate level and
was only subject to state income taxes. Since the Company operated as an
S-corporation prior to September 9, 2008, the U.S. statutory rate was 0%. As a
result of the change in tax reporting status, the effective tax rate for U.S.
purposes for the year ended December 31, 2008 has been adjusted to account for
the zero rate for the income and deductions during the majority of the year. The
Company recorded a deferred tax benefit of approximately $200,000 during the
quarter ended December 31, 2008 due to the effect of the change in statutory tax
rates on its deferred tax assets.

As of
December 31, 2009, the Company’s federal, state, foreign net operation loss
carryforwards for income tax purposes are approximately $4.1 million, $4.5
million, $.3 million, respectively, which begins to expire in 2024 through
2029.  The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  The
Company adopted the provisions of accounting for uncertain tax positions in
accordance with the Income
Taxes (ASC 740) topic on September 8, 2008, and accordingly, performed a
comprehensive review of the Company’s uncertain tax positions as of that
date.  In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents its
expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to
be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income
tax expense for financial reporting purposes.  A reconciliation of the
Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2009 and 2008
follows:

                        -




The
Company does not expect there to be any material changes to the assessment of
uncertain tax positions over the next twelve months.  The Company is
subject to routine corporate income tax audits in the United States and foreign
jurisdictions.  The statute of limitations for the Company’s 2008 tax
years remains open for U.S. purposes.  Most foreign jurisdictions have
statute of limitations that range from three to six years.





The
liability for uncertain tax positions is recorded in accrued expenses in the
Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  The Company recognizes interest
and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax
provision.  Interest and penalties are computed based upon the
difference between its uncertain tax positions under ASC 740 and the amount
deducted or expected to be deducted in its tax returns.  During 2009
and 2008, the Company did not accrue or pay for any interest and
penalties.

Payable





Notes
payable were $0.6 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.  Notes payable of $0.1 million are secured by vehicles
and have maturities through 2014.   The annual interest rates on
the notes range from 2.9% to 6.4%. Premier Power Spain has an unsecured
loan for $0.4 million with Instituto de Crédito Oficial as of December 31, 2009,
with the first payment due on December 18, 2010 and each additional payment due
six months thereafter until June 18, 2013, which is the last payment due
date.  Payment amounts are $0.1 million.




Lines of
Credit





On July
13, 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Umpqua Bank, an Oregon
corporation, for a line of credit of up to $12 million, maturing on July 13,
2011.  The loan agreement provides for an initial line of credit of $7
million, provided, however, that the Company may request no more than twice
prior to the maturity date that the line of credit be increased to an amount not
to exceed $12 million in the event the Company acquires another subsidiary and
require additional working capital for such subsidiary.  The line of
credit is secured by its assets and by the assets of Premier Power California
and Bright Future.  The line of credit bears interest at the prime
rate, provided, however, that the interest rate will not be less than five
percent (5%) per annum.  At December 31, 2009, the interest rate was
5%. As of December 31, 2009, there is $1.5 million outstanding under the
agreement with Umpqua Bank.




The loan
agreement with Umpqua Bank contains various financial condition covenants with
which the Company must comply, including minimum current ratio, maximum debt to
tangible net worth ratio, and minimum tangible net worth.  Under the
loan agreement, the Company is also subject to customary non-financial covenants
including limitations in secured indebtedness and limitations on dividends and
other restricted payments.  The Company was out of
compliance of certain covenants as of December 31, 2009 that did not take
into account our Contingent Liability as noted in Note 12.  As of March 24,
2010, the bank is aware of the non-compliance and has not waived the
non-compliance. The bank has not issued a notice of default, nor instituted
default rates, nor cut funding under the line. We do not expect any of these
events to occur and are currently working with the bank to redefine our
financial covenants.

  Warrants
 
 In September 2008, the Company issued
SeriesAWarrantsand SeriesBWarrantsto purchase 1,750,000 and 1,750,000
shares of common stock, respectively, in connection with the issuance of Series
A Stock. Both the SeriesAand B Warrantshad four year lives.The Company had the right to call for
cancellation of each outstanding Series A Warrant or Series B
Warrant under certain circumstances. The Series A Warrantshad an exercise price of$2.50 and a fair value of $.15 per warrant. The SeriesBWarrantshadan exercise price of $3.00 and a fair
value of $.13 per warrant. All of the issued and
outstanding Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were cancelled on June 16,
2009 in connection with a sale of our Series B Stock.
  The significant assumptions used to determine the fair values
of the warrantsare as follows:

 In September 2008, the Company issued 3,500,000
units, consisting each of 1 share of
Preferred Stock,1⁄2of a SeriesAWarrant, and1⁄2of a Series B Warrant in exchange for
$7,000,000 in gross
proceeds. The fair value of the preferred stock was calculated based on the
estimatedfair value and underlying number of
common shares it would convert into at the time of the transaction.Theestimated fair value of our common stock
onthe transaction date was
$.42 per share, and the preferred stock would have converted into 3,500,000
common shares, thus deriving a fair value of $1,470,000 for the underlyingcommon shares.
  Based on
the relative fair values of the preferred stock and the warrants, we allocated
$5,206,013 and $1,793,987 of the $7,000,000 gross proceeds, before issuance
costs, to the preferred stock and warrants, respectively. The aggregate net
proceeds received from the issuance of the preferred stock and
warrants was $5,511,895, giving effect to an aggregate $1,488,105 of
financing-related costs. The Company determined that the issuance of the
warrants did not result in significant incremental financing-related costs
and, as a result, netted such costs against the gross proceeds allocated to the
preferred stock. Net of financing-related costs, the Company allocated
$3,717,908 and $1,793,987 of the net proceeds to the preferred stock and
warrants, respectively.

 13.           CONTINGENT
CONSIDERATION LIABILITY
 
 In
connection with the acquisition of Rupinvest (See Note 5), contingent
consideration liability of $12 million was recorded at the time of the purchase
to reflect the estimated fair value of 3 million contingently issuable shares of
the Company’s
common stock.
    (i)
              375,000 shares for
      each ten million Euros (€10

      achieved by Premier Power Italy from July 9, 2009, the escrow opening
      date, to December 31, 2009 (the “First
      Issuance”),
      with the maximum number of shares released as part of the First Issuance
      to be 1,500,000 shares (any number of shares not issuable as part of the
      First Issuance solely due to the fact that the 1,500,000 shares threshold
      was exceeded is hereinafter referred to as the “Excess
      Issuable Amount”);
  (ii)
              50% of the Excess
      Issuable Amount, if any, plus 200,000 shares for each ten million Euros
      (€10

          DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENT
 
 On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 815 (EITF 07-5, Determining Whether an
Instrument (or embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock). As
part of the adoption of FASB ASC 815, the Company determined that its warrants
are not indexed to its stock as a result of the basis of an exercise price reset
that occurs when the Company sells its common stock at a lower price, even if
such price is at fair value. Thus, the value of the warrants has been recorded
as a liability.
 
 The
Company recorded a warrant liability in the amount of $11.1 million upon
adoption of FASB ASC 815.  The Company determined the fair value of
the warrant liability to be $8.9 million as of June 16, 2009, immediately prior
to retiring the warrants.  As a result of the changes in fair value,
the Company recorded income of $2.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2009.

 On June
16, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
Vision.  The terms of the agreement called for the cancellation of
Series A and Series B warrants held by Vision exercisable for an aggregate 3.5
million shares of common stock held by Vision. The cancellation of warrants
resulted in the elimination of all the Company’s issued and outstanding
warrants.  As a result of the cancellation, the Company derecognized
the warrant liability of $8.9 million and recorded the gain on its
extinguishment of $1.4 million in additional paid in capital in accordance with
the provisions of APB No. 26, Early Extinguishment of

         STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
 
 The
Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) provides for the
issuance of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options. The board
of directors determines to whom grants are made and the vesting, timing,
amounts, and other terms of such grants, subject to the terms of the Incentive
Plan. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company,
while non-statutory stock options may be granted to the Company’s employees,
officers, directors, certain consultants, and certain advisors. Options under
the Incentive Plan vest as determined by the Board.  The term of the
options granted under the Incentive Plan may not exceed 10 years, and the
maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to
stock options and stock awards granted under the Incentive
Plan is 2,951,875 shares in the aggregate. Options convertible into an

 The
Company defines in the money options at December 31, 2009 as options that had
exercise prices that were lower than the $2.75 fair market value of its common
stock at that date.  The aggregate intrinsic value of options
outstanding at December 31, 2009 is calculated as the difference between the
exercise price of the underlying options and the fair market value of the
Company’s common stock.  At December 31, 2009, the aggregate intrinsic
value was zero.
 
 The fair
value of stock option grants during the year ended December 31, 2009 was
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following assumptions:

 Valuation and Amortization Method —The Company estimates the fair value of service-stock options granted
using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula. The fair value is then
amortized over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally
the vesting period. Stock options typically have a ten-year life from date of
grant and vesting periods of three to five years. The fair value of the
Company’s common stock is based on its value as determined by market prices on
the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the respective vesting period.

 Expected Term —The Company’s
expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are
expected to be outstanding. For awards granted subject only to service vesting
requirements, the Company utilizes the simplified method under the provisions of
FASB ASC 718-10-S99-1 (Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107) for estimating
the expected term of the stock-based award.
 
 Expected Volatility— Because
there is minimal history of stock price returns, the Company does not have
sufficient historical volatility data for its equity awards. Accordingly, the
Company has chosen to use rates for similar publicly traded U.S.-based
competitors to calculate the volatility for its granted options.
 
 Expected Dividend— The
Company has never paid dividends on its common shares and currently does not
intend to do so.  Accordingly, the dividend yield percentage is zero
for all periods.
 
 Risk-Free Interest Rate —The
Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation
method upon the implied yield curve currently available on U.S. Treasury
zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term used as the
assumption in the model.
 
 The
weighted-average fair value per share of the stock options as determined on the
date of grant was $3.00 for the 1,710,979 stock options granted during the year
ended December 31, 2009. The total fair value of stock options vested during the
year ended December 31, 2009 was $0 as no stock options vested in
2009.
 
 Restricted
Stock Awards
 
 During
2009, the Company began issuing restricted stock awards to certain directors,
officers, and employees under the Incentive Plan.  Compensation
expense for such awards, based on the fair market value of the awards on the
grant date, is recorded during the vesting period.

  In August
2009, the Company issued 1,500 shares of its common stock under the 2008 Equity
Incentive Plan to employees for services. The shares were immediately vested,
and there were no restrictions. Additionally, as of December 31, 2009, the
Company owed an aggregate 33,000 restricted shares of common stock to certain
members of the board of directors pursuant to their director agreements, which
were issued on March 10, 2010. The fair value of these shares was not
significant. ASC Topic 718 requires the cash flows as a result of the tax
benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost
recognized (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. There
are no excess tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009, and therefore,
there is no impact on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash
flows.

         EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
 
 The
Company has a 401(k) Plan for its employees. Employees are eligible to make

one year of service. The Company makes discretionary matching contributions to
employees who qualify for the Plan and were employed on the last day of the Plan
year. Such contributions totaled $0 and $20,000 for the year ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. Employees are vested 100% after 3 years of service.
Neither Bright Future, Premier Power Spain, nor Premier Power Italy offers
defined contribution or defined benefit plans to employees.

          FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
 
 The fair
value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the
asset or transfer the liability.  In accordance with  FASB
ASC 820 (SAS No. 157 Fair
Value Measurements), the Company uses fair value measurements based on
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1),
significant other observable inputs (Level 2), or unobservable inputs for assets
or liabilities (Level 3), depending on the nature of the item being
valued.
  The
following disclosure is made in accordance with FASB ASC 820 (FASB Staff
Position (FSP) FAS 107-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments): The carrying amounts of cash and cash
equivalents and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings, accounts payable, billings in excess of costs
and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, and accrued liabilities
approximate their fair values at each balance sheet date due to the short-term
maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s
borrowings is based upon current interest rates for debt instruments with
comparable maturities and characteristics and approximates carrying
values.
  FASB ASC
820 (SFAS No. 157) defines fair value as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date.  FASB ASC 820 establishes
a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used
to measure fair value.  The hierarchy, as defined below, gives the
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs.
 
 ●
              Level
      1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets
      for identical assets.
 
 ●
              Level
      2, defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices.  They
      include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active
      market, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in a market
      that is not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be
      corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of
      the assets or liabilities.
 
 ●
              Level
      3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data
      exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own
      assumptions.

 Legal
Matters
 The
Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business.  The Company is not currently involved in

 20.           SEGMENT
INFORMATION
 
 The
Company has adopted Segment
Reporting (ASC 280)requiring segmentation based on the Company’s
internal organization, reporting of revenue and other performance
measures.  Operating segments are defined as components of an
enterprise about which discrete financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making
group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance.  The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the
Chief Executive Officer.  The Company’s segments are designed to
allocate resources internally and provide a framework to determine management
responsibility.  There are three operating segments, as summarized
below:
 
 ●
              United
      States – consists of (i) commercial ground mount or rooftop solar energy
      projects generally ranging from 100kWh to 20MW provided to corporate,
      municipal, agricultural, and utility customers and (ii) residential that
      consists mainly of rooftop solar installations generally ranging from 5kWh
      to 40kWh provided to residential customers primarily in California and New
      Jersey.
 ●
              Spain
      – consists of rooftop solar installations generally ranging 5kWh to 1MW
      provided primarily to businesses that own commercial buildings or
      warehouses.
 ●
              Italy
      – consists of distribution, ground mount, roof mount, and solar power
      plant installations.
    The
Company refers to the Net Sales as the revenue earned from the installation
projects or distribution sales.  Currently, the Company does not
separately allocate operating expenses to these segments, nor does it allocate
specific assets to these segments.  Therefore, the segment information
reported includes only net sales, cost of sales, and gross
profit.  The following tables present the operations by each operating
segment:

  Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
 
 Regulations
under the Exchange Act, require public companies to maintain “disclosure
controls and procedures,” which are defined to mean a company’s controls and
other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
report.  Based on those evaluations, as of December 31, 2009, our CEO
and CFO believe that:
  (i)
                our disclosure controls and
      procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be
      disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded,
      processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in
      the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
      communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate,
      to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;
      and
 
 (ii)
                our disclosure controls and
      procedures are
effective.
 
 Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
 
 Management’s
annual report on internal control over financial reporting.
 
 Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial
reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated
under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of,
the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and
effected by the Company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel,
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and
procedures that:
 
 ·
              Pertain to the maintenance of
      records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the
      transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
      Company;
 
 ·
              Provide reasonable assurance that
      transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
      statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
      and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in
      accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company;
      and
 
 ·
              Provide reasonable assurance
      regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use,
      or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect
      on the financial statements.
 
 Because
of its inherent limitations, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even
those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance
with respect to financial statement preparation and
presentation.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
  Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2009.  In making this assessment,
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework.  Based on our assessment, management concluded that,
as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s internal controls over financial
reporting were ineffective due to the following significant deficiencies
that existed on December 31, 2009, which deficiency was first discovered by
Teresa Kelley, our former Chief Financial Officer, in the second quarter of
2009:
  ·
              Expanded Financial Reporting
      Resources:  The Company has limited finance and accounting
      resources. The Company needed additional resources to ensure that it
      is able to comply with its financial reporting obligations in an accurate
      and timely manner. Remedial steps were taken, which steps are described
      below.
  37
  This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the
Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management's report in this
annual report.
 
 Changes
in internal control over financial reporting.
  There
were changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) or
Rule15d-15(d) promulgated under the Exchange Act that occurred during our
fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  As
a result of the previously identified significant deficiencies, we made
significant changes in our internal controls as described below. Given that our
remediation efforts continue, these actions also serve as additional procedures
and analyses to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of America.
 
 ·
              The
      Company implemented a formal process for preparing and controlling journal
      entries to prevent processing erroneous or unauthorized entries by
      restricting preparation of monthly journal entries to certain authorized
      personnel; implementing a system of sequential numbering and numeric
      accounting of each journal entry; implementing a system of attaching
      supporting documentation to each journal entry; and implementing a system
      of independent review of each journal
entry.
 
 ·
              We
      hired additional experienced accounting personnel in an effort to increase
      the experience level within our accounting department; including the
      hiring of a new corporate controller and chief financial officer who are
      individuals with significant experience applying generally accepted
      accounting principles. Our new chief financial officer participated in the
      December 31, 2009 financial close and reporting processes, and our new
      controller participated in the September 30, 2009 and December 31,
      2009 financial close and reporting processes, which added an additional
      level of supervisory review.
 
 ·
              We
      hired an external consultant to provide internal control reviews and
      provide suggestions for
improvement.
 
 ·
              We
      implemented a detailed financial performance review with management and
      our Board of Directors.

 Employment
Agreements
 
 The
following are summaries of our employment agreements with our current and former
executive officers whose compensation is listed in the Summary Compensation
Table above.
 
 The
Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Frank Sansone on November 5,
2009 in connection with his services as Chief Financial Officer over a four-year
term.  Mr. Sansone’s compensation will consist of an annual base
salary of $180,000 and options granted under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive
Plan to purchase an aggregate 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock,
exercisable at a price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock
on the day the Board of Directors approves the option grant.  The
stock options will vest 25% per year for each year of employment from the date
of grant. A sale of over 50% of the Company’s common stock to a third party will
trigger accelerated vesting where the portion that would have vested at the next
annual anniversary of the grant date will vest in full on the date of the
triggering event. The Company agreed to indemnify Mr. Sansone against any claims
arising from his services as Chief Financial Officer unless such claims are due
to his gross negligence or misconduct.  The Company may terminate Mr.
Sansone’s employment during the first 90 days of employment by providing four
days’ written notice or at any time without notice for cause.  After
the first 90 days of employment, the Company may terminate the Employment
Agreement without cause upon a triggering event.  In the event the
Company terminates Mr. Sansone without cause after the first 90 days of
employment, Mr. Sansone is entitled to a severance payment equal to six months
of his annual compensation.  Mr. Sansone agreed not to enter into any
business with operations that compete directly with the Company for a period of
three years after his employment agreement terminates.
 
 The
Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Teresa Kelley on October 24,
2008 for her services as Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Kelley’s annual
compensation is $150,000. She will receive an annual 20% bonus based on her
efforts in helping the Company achieve the following targets: minimum growth
revenue of 80% in the first year of her employment, 80% growth in the second
year, 70% growth in the third year, and 60% growth in the fourth year (each
growth revenue percentage which may be revised by the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer over the term of Ms. Kelley’s office); annual EBITDA and net income in
excess of the prior year’s EBIDTA and net income; net income margins in excess
of 5%; and acquisitions to secure revenue growth, margin growth, and market
share domestically and internationally.  These goals are closely
monitored by the Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors, and Ms.
Kelley’s efforts will be measured by quarterly and annual performance
evaluations by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, except
that Ms. Kelley’s efforts at helping the Company acquire other businesses will
be measured quarterly by the Board of Directors, which will review her reports
analyzing potential acquisitions. Ms. Kelley will also receive, for her first
year of employment, 100,000 stock options to purchase the Company’s common
stock, exercisable at a price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common
stock on the day the Board approves the option issuance. Such stock options will
vest 25% per year for each year of employment from the date of issue. For her
second year of employment, Ms. Kelley will receive an additional 125,000 stock
options to purchase the Company’s common stock, exercisable at a price equal to
the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day the Board approves
the stock issuance. Such stock options will vest 33% per year for each year of
employment from the date of issue. In the event of any sale, merger, acquisition
of over 51% of the Company’s capital stock by a third party, or other change of
control event, any stock options issued to Ms. Kelley under the Employment
Agreement will be fully vested for such year.  Ms. Kelley resigned on
October 31, 2009.

      dollar amount expensed by the Company during the applicable fiscal year
      for financial statement reporting purposes pursuant to FAS
      123R.  FAS 123R requires the Company to determine the overall
      value of the stock award as of the date of grant, and to then expense that
      value over the service period over which the stock award becomes
      exercisable (vested).  As a general rule, for time in service

      or portion thereof that is vested upon grant, while expensing the balance
      on a pro rata basis over the remaining vesting term of the stock

              Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial
      owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly,
      through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or
      otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to
      vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which
      includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain
      shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if,
      for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of
      the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a
      person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example,
      upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the
      information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any
      person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount
      of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by
      reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of
      outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not
      necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with
      respect to the number of shares of common stock actually
      outstanding.

              Pursuant to the terms of the 2008
      share exchange, we issued 24,218,750 shares of common stock, equal to
      approximately 93.1% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of the
      closing date of the 2008 share exchange. After the issuance of shares in
      connection with the closing of the 2008 share exchange, there were
      approximately 26,018,750 issued and outstanding shares of our common
      stock. Percentage totals may vary slightly due to rounding. Also, in
      connection with the closing of the $7 Million Financing, we issued a total
      of 3,500,000 units to one accredited investor, each unit consisting of one
      share of our Series A Preferred Stock, one-half of one Series A Warrant,
      and one-half of one Series B Warrant. Each one share of Series A Preferred
      Stock will be convertible into one share of our common stock.   Each
      Series A Warrant and Series B Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one
      share of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 and $3.00 per
      share, respectively, of our common stock. On June 16, 2009, all of the
      Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants held by this holder were cancelled
      by the Company.

      are presently convertible. This number does not include (i) 3,028,641
      shares of common stock underlying its shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
      (ii) 2,800,000 shares of common stock underlying its shares of Series B
      Preferred Stock, or (iii) 1,600,000 shares of common stock underlying an
      option to purchase such shares because each of these securities held by
      the stockholder contains a restriction on conversion or exercise, as the
      case may be, limiting such holder’s ability to convert or exercise to the
      extent that such conversion or exercise would cause the beneficial
      ownership of the holder, together with its affiliates, to exceed 9.99% of
      the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving
      effect to the issuance of shares of common stock as a result of a
      conversion or exercise. The stockholder may waive this limitation upon 61
      days’ notice to the Company.  As of March 24, 2010, however, the
      Company has not received any such
notice.
