25 years experience in accounting and finance. Mr. Roffman earned his BBA in accounting from

There are no family relationships between any of our directors and executive officers.
Board Committees
We currently do not have standing committees of our board of directors and our board of
directors is acting in such capacity.
Audit Committee. We intend to establish an audit committee of the board of directors, which
will consist of independent directors. The audit committees duties would be to recommend to our
board of directors the engagement of independent auditors to audit our financial statements and to
review our accounting and auditing
23
principles. The audit committee would review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit
and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent public
accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal
controls. The audit committee would at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in
the opinion of our board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the
exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of
financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
Compensation Committee. We intend to establish a compensation committee of the board of
directors. The compensation committee would review and approve our salary and benefits policies,
including compensation of executive officers. The compensation committee would also administer our
stock option plans and recommend and approve grants of stock options under such plans.
Director Compensation
We do not currently compensate our directors for acting as such, although we may do so in the
future, including with cash and/or equity. However, on August 29, 2006, in connection with Edward
Roffman joining our board of directors, we granted Mr. Roffman 20,000 shares of restricted stock
under our Stock Plan, which restrictions lapse as to 5,000 shares, on each anniversary of the date
of grant, commencing on August 30, 2007, subject to Mr. Roffman serving on our board of directors
on each such anniversary date. Mr. Roffman is entitled to vote such restricted stock, subject to
forfeiture in accordance with the terms of the grant.
The following table sets forth director compensation as of December 31, 2006.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and amendments to Forms 3 and 4 furnished to us
during our most recent fiscal year and Forms 5 and amendments to Forms 5 furnished to us with
respect to our most recent fiscal year, we are not aware of any director, officer, or beneficial
owner of more than 10% of any class of our registered securities that failed to file on a timely
basis, as disclosed in such forms, reports required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934
during our most recent fiscal year, except for Edward Roffman who filed his initial Form 3 late.
Code of Conduct
We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, but have not done so to date due
to our relatively small size.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End
There were no stock awards held by the Named Executive Officers as of December 31, 2006.
Option Grants
We have not granted any stock options to our Named Executive Officers or our directors.
Employment Agreements
We currently do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers.
Stock Incentive Plan
On August 11, 2006, our board of directors and stockholders adopted the 2006 Stock Incentive
Plan (the Stock Plan). On December 20, 2006, we amended the Stock Plan to increase the number of
shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan as restricted stock or options to
Akeena Solars employees, directors and consultants, from 450,000 shares to 1,000,000 shares. The
purpose of the Stock Plan is to provide an incentive to retain and attract as directors, officers,
consultants, advisors and employees of our company, persons of training, experience and ability, to
encourage the sense of proprietorship and to stimulate the active interest of such persons into our
development and financial success. Under the Stock Plan, we are authorized to issue incentive stock
options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, non-qualified stock options and
restricted stock. The Stock Plan is administered by our board of directors. As of April 4, 2007,
there have been no grants of stock options, and an aggregate of
430,051 shares of restricted stock
have been issued under the Stock Plan, of which 43,909 shares have
been forfeited and restrictions have lapsed on 3,785 shares.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information as of April 4, 2007 regarding the number of shares
of our common stock beneficially owned by: (i) each person or entity known to us to be the
beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, (ii) each Named Executive Officer, (iii) each
director, and (iv) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. Except as otherwise
indicated, each of the stockholders named below has sole voting and disposition power with respect
to such shares of common stock. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each of the
stockholders listed below is: c/o Akeena Solar, Inc., 605 University Avenue, Los Gatos, California
95032.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the
number of shares beneficially owned by a stockholder and the percentage ownership of that
stockholder, shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants or
the conversion of other securities held by that stockholder that are currently exercisable or
convertible, or are exercisable or convertible within 60 days, are deemed to be issued and
outstanding. These shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing
percentage ownership of each other stockholder.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS
AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS
On March 30, 2001, Akeena, Inc. (the former name of Akeena Corp.) purchased certain
infrastructure and harvester technology from Akeena Wireless, Inc. (formerly known as Andalay,
Inc.), a Delaware corporation (AWI), of which Barry Cinnamon, our President and Chief Executive
Officer, is a director, principal stockholder and chief executive officer, in exchange for warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Akeena, Inc.s common stock at an exercise price of
$0.01 per share. In July 2006, AWI sold warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of Akeena, Inc.s
common stock to The Cinnamon 2006 Irrevocable Childrens Trust, warrants to purchase 90,000 shares
of Akeena, Inc.s common stock to Mr. Cinnamon, and warrants to purchase 80,000 shares of Akeena,
Inc.s common stock to each of two consultants, for an aggregate price of $30,000. On August 11,
2006, we assumed the obligations of Akeena, Inc. under the warrants in the Merger, so that each
warrant was converted into a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock. On November 30,
2006, Mr. Cinnamon gifted his warrants to purchase 90,000 shares to various adult family members,
all of which warrants were exercised by December 31, 2006.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, and 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock. As of April 4, 2007, there were 18,424,727 shares of our common stock issued and
outstanding and no shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Our Certificate of
Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. The holders of our common stock are entitled
to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of
legally available funds; however, the current policy of our board of directors is to retain
earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the
holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available
for distribution. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or
conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are
subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred
stock, which may be designated solely by action of our board of directors and issued in the future.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without
further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in
one or more series. Each series of preferred stock will have such number of shares, designations,
preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be
determined by our board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting
rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.
Warrants
On March 8, 2007, in connection with a private placement, we issued warrants to purchase up to
an aggregate of (i) 206,230 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $2.75 per share, to
investors, (ii) 206,230 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, to
investors, (iii) 68,250 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $2.75 per share, to our
placement agent and finder, and (iv) 11,726 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of
$1.97 per share, to a finder. Each warrant will expire three years from the date of issuance.
The warrants contain provisions that protect the holders against dilution by adjustment of the
purchase price in certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events.
Prior to exercise, the warrants do not confer upon holders any voting or any other rights as a
stockholder.
Lock-up Agreements
All shares of common stock held by our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
(together with the shares held by his affiliates) are subject to lock-up provisions that provide
restrictions on the future sale of our common stock by the holders and their transferees. These
lock-up provisions provide, in general, that their shares may not, directly or indirectly, be
offered, sold, offered for sale, contracted for sale, hedged or otherwise transferred or disposed
of for a period of 12 months following the closing of the private placement transaction.
Anti-Takeover Effect of Delaware Law, Certain Charter and By-Law Provisions
Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws contain provisions that could have the effect of
discouraging potential acquisition proposals or tender offers or delaying or preventing a change of
control of our company. These provisions have the following effects:
|
|
|
they provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by a resolution
adopted by a majority of our board of directors; |
|
|
|
|
they provide that only business brought before an annual meeting by our board of
directors or by a stockholder who complies with the procedures set forth in the By-laws may
be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders; |
|
|
|
|
they provide for advance notice of specified stockholder actions, such as the nomination
of directors and stockholder proposals; |
27
|
|
|
they do not include a provision for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding a sufficient number of shares may
be able to ensure the election of one or more directors. The absence of cumulative voting
may have the effect of limiting the ability of minority stockholders to effect changes in
our board of directors and, as a result, may have the effect of deterring a hostile
takeover or delaying or preventing changes in control or management of our company; and |
|
|
|
|
they allow us to issue, without stockholder approval, up to 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock that could adversely affect the rights and powers of the holders of our
common stock. In some circumstances, this issuance could have the effect of decreasing the
market price of our common stock, as well. |
We
are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which we refer to as the DGCL, an
anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from
engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years
after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the
business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of Section 203, a business
combination includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to
the interested stockholder, and an interested stockholder is a person who, together with
affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior did own, 15% or more of the voting
stock of a corporation.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145
of the DGCL, provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, as
we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or
in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe such persons conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative
action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will
have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws provide that we will indemnify our directors,
officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the
DGCL, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such
indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders or directors resolution or by contract.
Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective
only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or
officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.
We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or
other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the DGCL would permit
indemnification.
Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to our directors, officers and persons controlling us, we have been advised that it is the SECs
opinion that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.
28

None of the selling stockholders has held any position or office or has had any other material
relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates during the past three years, except
Empire Financial Group, Inc. and Westminster Securities Corporation, registered broker-dealers,
which served as placement agent and finder, respectively, in connection with our private placement.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering 2,554,740 shares of our common stock for resale by the selling stockholders
from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from
the sale by the selling stockholders of their shares of our common stock, but will receive up to
$1,396,610 aggregate gross proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase 492,436 of the shares
being offered. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares
of our common stock.
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of our common stock
beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of our common stock are sold through
underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting
discounts or commissions or agents commissions. The shares of our common stock may be sold in one
or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at
varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected
in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions:
|
|
|
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be
listed or quoted at the time of sale; |
|
|
|
|
in the over-the-counter market; |
|
|
|
|
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; |
|
|
|
|
through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange
or otherwise; |
|
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits
purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
31
|
|
|
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
|
short sales; |
|
|
|
|
sales pursuant to Rule 144; |
|
|
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of
such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
|
|
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
|
|
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of our common stock to
or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may
receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling
stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of our common stock for whom they may act
as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to
particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types
of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of our common stock or otherwise,
the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn
engage in short sales of the shares of our common stock in the course of hedging in positions they
assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver shares
of our common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed
shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares
of our common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the
warrants or shares of our common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of
their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of our
common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus
under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary,
the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest
as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and
donate the shares of our common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees,
pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this
prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares
of our common stock may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act,
and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be
deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a
particular offering of the shares of our common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if
required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of our common
stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any
broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from
the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid
to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of our common stock may be sold in such
states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the
shares of our common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for
sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied
with.
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of
our common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms
a part.
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be
subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder,
including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which
may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling
stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also
restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of our common stock to
engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of our common stock. All of the
foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of our common stock and the ability of any
person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of our common
stock.
32
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of our common stock pursuant to the
registration rights agreement that we entered into with the selling stockholders. However, the
selling stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.
We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities
under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling
stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders
against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any
written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this
prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements, or we may be entitled to
contribution.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Akeena Solar, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Akeena Solar, Inc. and its
subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor have we been
engaged to perform, an audit of
the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Akeena Solar, Inc. and its subsidiary as of December
31, 2006, and the results of their operations, and their cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Notes 2 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2006,
the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation as a result of adopting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment applying the modified
prospective method.

AKEENA SOLAR, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
1. Description of Business
Akeena Solar, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in February 2001 as a Subchapter S corporation
in the State of California. During June 2006, the Company became a C corporation in the State of
Delaware. On August 11, 2006, the Company entered into a reverse merger transaction (the Merger)
with Fairview Energy Corporation, Inc. (Fairview). Pursuant to the merger agreement, the
stockholders of Akeena Solar received one share of Fairview common stock for each issued and
outstanding share of Akeena Solar common stock, which totaled 8,000,000 shares. Akeena Solars
common shares were also adjusted from $0.01 par value to $0.001 par value at the time of the
Merger. Subsequent to the closing of the Merger, the closing of a private placement of 3,217,500
shares of the Companys common stock (the Private Placement) at an issue price of $1.00 per share
for a total of $3,217,500, net of placement agent fees of $131,539, and the cancellation of
3,877,477 shares of Fairview common stock, the former stockholders of Akeena Solar held a majority
of Fairviews outstanding common stock. The $131,539 of placement agent fees were comprised of
$61,500 in cash fees paid and warrants to purchase 61,500 shares of the Companys common stock
valued at $70,039 (see Note 13). Since the stockholders of Akeena Solar own a majority of the
outstanding shares of Fairview common stock immediately following the Merger, and the management
and board of Akeena Solar became the management and board of Fairview immediately following the
Merger, the Merger is being accounted for as a reverse merger transaction and Akeena Solar is
deemed to be the acquirer. The assets, liabilities and the historical operations prior to the
Merger are those of Akeena Solar. Subsequent to the Merger, the consolidated financial statements
include the assets and liabilities of Akeena Solar and Fairview, and the historical operations of
Akeena Solar and the operations of Fairview from the closing date of the Merger.
The Company is engaged in the installation of solar panel systems to residential and commercial
markets.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when
purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents which consist
principally of demand deposits with high credit quality financial institutions. At certain times,
such amounts exceed FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these
investments.
Accounts Receivable
The Company regularly evaluates the collectibility of its accounts receivable. An allowance for
doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated credit losses, and such losses have been minimal and
within managements expectations. When estimating credit losses, the Company considers a number of
factors including the aging of a customers account, creditworthiness of specific customers,
historical trends and other information. Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables and
amounts due from state agencies for rebates on state-approved solar systems installed. These rebate
amounts are passed on to the customer, either at the time the customer is billed, or when the money
is received from the states by the Company. Included within customer rebate payable at December 31,
2006 is approximately $1.2 million of rebates payable to customers. Usually, the various states
remit the rebate amounts to the Company within 90-120 days.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (on an average basis) or market value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization are provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets.
F-8
AKEENA SOLAR, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
|
|
|
Category |
|
Useful Lives |
Furniture and Fixtures |
|
7-10 years |
Office Equipment |
|
3-10 years |
Vehicles |
|
5 years |
Leasehold Improvements |
|
5 years |
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for significant renewals or
betterments are capitalized. Upon disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The Company
periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of
the estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets or whether the remaining balance of long-lived
assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company does not believe that there were
any indicators of impairment that would require an adjustment to such assets or their estimated
periods of recovery at December 31, 2006.
Manufacturer and Installation Warranties
The Company warrants its products for various periods against defects in material or installation
workmanship. The manufacturer warranty on the solar panels and the inverters have a warranty period
range of 5-25 years. The Company assists the customer in the event that the manufacturer warranty
needs to be used to replace a defective panel or inverter. The Company provides for a 5-year
warranty on the installation of a system and all equipment and incidental supplies other than solar
panels and inverters that are covered under the manufacturer warranty. The Company records a
provision for the installation warranty, within cost of sales, based on historical experience and
future expectations of the probable cost to be incurred in honoring its warranty commitment. The
provision for the installation warranty is included within Accrued warranty in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet.
The provision for installation warranty consisted of the following at December 31, 2006:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values reported for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, 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 and Deferred Revenue
Revenue from installation of a system is recognized when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the sales price is fixed or
determinable, and (4) collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company
recognizes revenue upon completion of a system installation.
Defective solar panels or inverters are covered under the manufacturer warranty. In the event that
a panel or inverter needs to be replaced, the Company will replace the defective item within the
manufacturers warranty period (between 5-25 years). See the Manufacturer and installation
warranties discussion above.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Deferred revenue consists of installations initiated but not completed within the reporting period.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company applies the fair value method under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) in accounting for its Stock Incentive Plan.
Under SFAS 123R, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the
equity instruments awarded and is recognized over the period during which an employee is required
to provide service in exchange for the award, or the requisite service period, which is usually the
vesting period. The fair value of the equity award granted is estimated on the date of the grant.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense, included in Sales and
marketing expenses, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $301,000 and
$162,000, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are included in cost of inventory and
expensed as cost of sales when the related inventory is sold. Amounts billed to customers for
shipping and handling are recorded as revenue and were not significant for the years ended December
31, 2006 and 2005.
Income Taxes
As the Company was a Subchapter S corporation until June 2006, any taxable income or loss of the S
corporation through June 2006 was included within the sole stockholders income for federal and
state income tax purposes.
Deferred income taxes arise from timing differences resulting from income and expense items
reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. A deferred tax asset
valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not
be realized. Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual
limitation due to ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code. The annual
limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods plus the effect of
dilutive securities outstanding during the periods. For the year ended December 31, 2006, basic
earnings per share is the same as diluted earnings per share as a result of the Companys common
stock equivalents being anti-dilutive due to the Companys net loss. The Companys issued and
outstanding common shares as of December 31, 2005 does not include the underlying shares
exercisable relating to the issuance of 1,000,000 warrants outstanding at December 31, 2005,
exercisable at $0.01 per share. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, the Company
has given effect to the issuance of these warrants in computing basic net income per share for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The 1,000,000 warrants were exercised and 1,000,000 common
shares were issued during 2006, and are therefore included in the Companys issued and outstanding
common shares as of December 31, 2006.
At December 31, 2006, warrants to purchase 61,500 shares of the Companys common stock and 354,622
non-vested restricted shares, net of forfeitures, (see Note 12) are dilutive securities that may
dilute future earnings per share.
The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding of 11,193,143 and 9,000,000 as of December
31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, used to calculate the basic earnings per share include 1,000,000
contingently issuable
warrants for shares of the Companys common stock. The 1,000,000 warrants were exercised for
1,000,000 common shares during 2006.

Segment Reporting
The Company has determined it operates in one operating segment. Operating segments are components
of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly
by the Company in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Companys
chief operating decision maker assesses the Companys performance, and allocates its resources as a
single operating segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Akeena Solar and
Fairview, pursuant to the Merger as described in Note 1. All inter-company accounts have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued SFAS 123R, which
revises SFAS No. 123 Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123) and supersedes
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25). SFAS 123R requires companies to measure
the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (including
grants of employee stock options) based on the grant date fair value of the award (with limited
exceptions). That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to
provide service in exchange for the award, or the requisite service period (usually the vesting
period). The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 are no longer an alternative
to financial statement recognition and SFAS 123R was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2006. The
Company is allowed to apply the provisions of SFAS 123R prospectively solely to new awards and to
awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the required effective date of the statement. The
effects of the provisions of 123R on the Companys consolidated results of operations and financial
position as of December 31, 2006 are disclosed in Note 12.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to
be accounted for as a whole, eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host, if the
holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. This statement is
effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys first
fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS
155 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (SFAS
156). SFAS 156 provides relief for entities that use derivatives to economically hedge
fluctuations in the fair value of their servicing rights and changes how gains and losses are
computed in certain transfers or securitizations. SFAS 156 is effective as of the beginning of the
first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of
SFAS 156 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48
clarifies the
accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is
required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance
on de-recognition, measurement,
F-11
AKEENA SOLAR, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The interpretation applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to FASB Statement
No. 109. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Differences
between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN
48 and the amounts reported after adoption should be accounted for as a cumulative-effect
adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The Company does not believe the
adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
This statement does not require any new fair value measurements in accounting pronouncements where
fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. However, for some entities, the application of
this statement will change current practice for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption
of SFAS 157 on its definition and measurement of fair value and disclosure requirements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS
158). SFAS 158 requires entities to recognize and disclose an asset or liability for the
overfunded or underfunded status of benefit plans in financial statements as of December 31, 2006.
The Company has determined that the guidance in SFAS 158 does not have a material impact on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108) which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior
year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality
assessment. The Company has determined that the guidance in SAB 108 does not have a material impact
on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $37,000 and
$28,000, respectively. Accumulated depreciation related to approximately $64,000 of assets under
capital leases was approximately $4,000 at December 31, 2006.
6. Assets Acquired
On September 29, 2006, the Company executed an Account Purchase Agreement (the Purchase
Agreement), whereby the Company purchased customer contracts, fixed assets and a customer listing
from an individual (the Seller) who, subsequent to the execution of the Purchase Agreement,
became an employee of the Company. This employee has been hired to expand the Companys operations
into Fresno, California. The customer contracts of approximately $109,000 are included within
Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 2006, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $55,000. The customer contracts
are being amortized over the period during which they are completed, which will range from 3-12
months from the purchase date of these contracts. The fixed assets purchased of approximately
$37,000 are included within Property and equipment, net and the customer listing valued at
approximately $277,000 is included within Customer list, net in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet at December 31, 2006, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $46,000 at
December 31, 2006. The customer list is being amortized over an eighteen month period. Upon
execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Seller received approximately $196,000 and during January
2007, received approximately $176,000 in the Companys common stock, based upon the weighted
average closing price of the shares. The $176,000 to be received by the Seller is included within
Common stock issuable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006, and
was settled in 54,621 shares of the Companys common stock during January 2007 (see Note 18). The
total assets purchased under the Purchase Agreement were approximately $423,000 which consisted of
the customer contracts valued at approximately $109,000, fixed assets of approximately $37,000, and
a customer list valued at approximately $277,000. Customer deposit liabilities of approximately
$51,000 were assumed by the Company at the time of the purchase of the customer contracts, fixed
assets and a customer list.
As long as the Seller remains employed by the Company, the Seller will receive cash of $77,000
during April 2007. If certain revenue milestone amounts are attained, the Seller may receive 29,481
and 27,143 shares of the Companys common stock during 2007 and 2008, respectively. Additionally,
per the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Seller is entitled to receive 14,286 shares of the
Companys common stock on December 31, 2008, as long as the Seller remains employed by the Company
at that time. The additional shares of the Companys common stock that may be issued to the Seller
based upon the Sellers attainment of certain revenue milestone amounts will be treated as
compensation expense and are limited to a maximum of 200,000 shares per the terms of the Purchase
Agreement.
Concurrent with the Purchase Agreement, the Company executed an employment agreement with the
Seller which provides for, among other things, an annual salary of $120,000. This agreement expires
December 31, 2008. There are automatic one-year renewals unless notice is given within 30 days of
the end of the term by either party.

AKEENA SOLAR, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
outstanding under the 2006 Credit Facility at December 31, 2006, and pursuant to the terms of the
2006 Credit Facility, letters of credit issued may not exceed $250,000.
Interest on the outstanding balance under the 2006 Credit Facility is calculated on the prime rate

assets up to a maximum liability of $500,000.
There are no restrictive financial covenants, such as minimum financial performance objectives,
under the 2006 Credit Facility.
On January 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Comerica Bank for
a $2.0 million line of credit to replace the Companys 2006 Credit Facility (see Note 18).

11. Stockholders Equity
The Company was incorporated in 2001 as a Subchapter S corporation. During June 2006, the Company
became a C corporation in the State of Delaware. On August 11, 2006, the Company entered into a
reverse merger transaction with Fairview as discussed in Note 1. Pursuant to the Merger, the
stockholders of Akeena Solar received one share of Fairview common stock for each issued and
outstanding share of Akeena Solar common stock, which totaled 8,000,000 shares. In addition, in
connection with the reverse merger, the Companys 1,000,000 outstanding warrants were exchanged for
warrants of Fairview. The warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock were
exercised and 1,000,000 shares of common stock were issued during 2006 at the exercise price of
$0.01,
for approximately $10,000. Akeena Solars common shares were also adjusted from $0.01 par value to
$0.001 par value at the time of the Merger. Subsequent to the closing of the Merger, the closing of
the Private Placement of
F-14
AKEENA SOLAR, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
3,217,500 shares of the Companys common stock at an issue price of $1.00 per share for a total of
$3,217,500, net of placement agent fees of $131,539, and the cancellation of 3,877,477 shares of
Fairview common stock, the former stockholders of Akeena Solar held a majority of Fairviews
outstanding common stock. The $131,539 of placement agent fees were comprised of $61,500 in cash
fees paid and warrants to purchase 61,500 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $70,039
(see Note 13). Since the stockholders of Akeena Solar own a majority of the outstanding shares of
Fairview common stock immediately following the Merger, and the management and board of Akeena
Solar became the management and board of Fairview immediately following the Merger, the Merger is
being accounted for as a reverse merger transaction and Akeena Solar is deemed to be the acquirer.
The assets, liabilities and the historical operations prior to the Merger are those of Akeena
Solar. Subsequent to the Merger, the consolidated financial statements include the assets and
liabilities of Akeena Solar and Fairview, and the historical operations of Akeena Solar and the
operations of Fairview from the closing date of the Merger.
12. Stock Incentive Plan
On August 8, 2006, Akeena Solar adopted the Akeena Solar, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the
Stock Plan) pursuant to which 450,000 shares of common stock were available for issuance to
employees, directors and consultants under the Stock Plan as restricted stock and/or stock options.
On December 20, 2006, the Stock Plan was amended to increase the number of shares available for
issuance under the Stock Plan from 450,000 shares to 1,000,000 shares.
Restricted stock and stock options may be issued under the Stock Plan. The restriction period on
the restricted shares granted shall expire at a rate of 25% a year over four years. Upon the lapse
of the restriction period, the grantee shall become entitled to receive a stock certificate
evidencing the common shares, and the restrictions shall cease to exist. The following table sets
forth a summary of restricted stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2006:

The restricted stock is valued at the grant date fair value of the common stock and expensed over
the requisite service period or vesting period. The Company recognized stock based compensation
expense of approximately $38,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006 relating to compensation
expense calculated in accordance with SFAS 123R for restricted stock granted under the Stock Plan
during the year ended December 31, 2006. SFAS 123R requires the estimation of forfeitures when
recognizing compensation expense and that this estimate of forfeitures be adjusted over the
requisite service period should actual forfeitures differ from such estimates. At December 31,
2006, there was approximately $545,000 of unrecognized share-based compensation expense associated
with the non-vested restricted shares granted. Stock based compensation expense relating to these
restricted shares is expected to be recognized over a period of four years.
SFAS 123R 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, 2006, and therefore, there
is no impact on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.
13. Stock Options and Stock Warrants
The Companys 2001 Stock Option Plan (the 2001 Plan) provides for the issuance of incentive stock
options and non-statutory stock options. The Companys Board of Directors, which, subject to the
terms of the 2001 Plan, determines to whom grants are made, and the vesting, timing, amounts and
other terms of such grants. Incentive
F-15
AKEENA SOLAR, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company, while non-statutory stock options
may be granted to the Companys employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors. Options
under the Plan vest as determined by the Board of Directors, but in no event at a rate less than
20% per year. The term of the options granted under the 2001 Plan may not exceed 10 years and the
maximum aggregate shares that may be issued upon exercise of such options is 4,000,000 shares of
common stock. No options have been granted under the 2001 Plan as of December 31, 2006.
In March 2001, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common
stock at an exercise price per share of $0.01 in exchange for the purchase of assets from Akeena
Wireless, Inc. (AWI), a related party (see Note 15). The warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of
the Companys common stock were exercised and 1,000,000 shares of common stock were issued during
2006 at the exercise price of $0.01, for approximately $10,000.
During August and September 2006, the Company issued warrants to purchase 61,500 shares of the
Companys common stock at an exercise price per share of $1.00 to the placement agent that sold 41
units under the Private Placement. The fair value of these warrants was estimated using the
Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: a risk-free interest
rate of 4.9%, an expected life of three years, an expected volatility factor or 103.3% and a
dividend yield of 0.0%. The value assigned to these warrants under the Black-Scholes estimate is
approximately $70,000. The aggregate intrinsic value of the 61,500 warrants outstanding and
exercisable at December 31, 2006 was approximately $160,000.
Therefore, as of December 31, 2006, warrants to purchase 61,500 shares of the Companys common
stock are outstanding and exercisable.
14. Income Taxes
As the Company was a Subchapter S corporation until June 2006, any taxable income or loss of the S
corporation through June 2006 was included within the sole stockholders income for federal and
state income tax purposes. During the year ended December 31, 2006, there was no income tax expense
or benefit for federal and state income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations due to the Companys net loss and a valuation allowance on the resulting deferred tax
asset.
The actual tax expense differs from the expected tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2006
(computed by applying the U.S. Federal Corporate tax rate of 35% to income before taxes) as

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which we refer to as the DGCL,
provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, as
we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or
in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe such persons conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative
action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will
have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws provide that we will indemnify our directors,
officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the
DGCL, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such
indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders or directors resolution or by contract.
Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective
only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or
officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.
We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or
other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the DGCL would permit
indemnification.
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
During the past three years, we have issued the following unregistered securities. None of
these transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, except as
specified below, or any public offering, and we believe that each transaction was exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation
D promulgated thereunder.
In connection with a reverse merger between Akeena Solar, Inc., a private Delaware
corporation, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, we completed the closing of a private placement
of our common stock in which, through September 7, 2006, we sold an aggregate of 128.7 units to
accredited investors. Each unit consisted of 25,000 shares of our common stock. As a result of
the private placement, we issued a total of 3,217,500 shares of our common stock. Some units were
offered by Westminster Securities Corporation, pursuant to the terms of a
II-1
placement agent agreement dated July 21, 2006. The placement agent received (1) a cash fee of
$61,500 (representing 6% of the gross proceeds of the units sold by it in the private placement)
and (2) three-year warrants to purchase 61,500 shares of our common stock (representing 6% of the
shares sold by it in the private placement) at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. We realized
gross proceeds of $3,217,500 from the private placement before commissions and expenses.
The common shares issued under the private placement are subject to registration rights
pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The registration rights agreement contains a
liquidated damages provision whereby liquidated damages may accrue and are payable in cash or
common stock at fair market value, at our discretion, at the rate of 1% of the aggregate amount
invested by the investors per 30 day period (or pro-rated for partial periods) if (i) a
registration statement is not filed within 90 days of September 7, 2006; (ii) such registration
statement is not declared effective within 120 days of the initial filing date; (iii) such
registration statement is not kept effective until the earlier of (a) 18 months after September 7,
2006 and (b) the date when all registrable securities have been sold; (iv) we do not respond to
initial comments of the SEC within 21 days after our receipt of such comments; or (v) if we fail to
use our reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective. The
liquidated damages is limited under the registration rights agreement to a 6% maximum amount. As
of this date, we have complied with all of the clauses and do not owe any liquidated damages.
On August 30, 2006, subsequent to the reverse merger, we issued an aggregate of 262,148 shares
of restricted common stock (of which 4,989 shares were forfeited on November 15, 2006) for services
rendered to various employees and a director, which shares were valued at the private placement
offering price of $1.00 per share, or an aggregate of $262,148. There were additional grants made
on October 2, 2006 and October 15, 2006 for an aggregate of 43,040 and 34,968 restricted shares,
respectively, valued at the common stock closing prices of $2.99 and $2.60, respectively, for a
combined value of $219,606. On December 15, 2006, we issued an additional 67,149 shares of
restricted common stock, valued at the common stock closing price of $2.40 per share, or an
aggregate of $161,158. The total value of all restricted stock grants issued subsequent to the
reverse merger is $642,912.
On March 8, 2007, we sold (i) 2,062,304 shares of our common stock, (ii) three-year warrants
to purchase 206,230 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share and (iii)
three-year warrants to purchase 206,230 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per
share, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement among us and the purchasers signatory thereto.
We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.1 million from the sale of the common
stock and warrants.
Empire Financial Group acted as placement agent with respect to the offering and received a
cash fee equal to $124,250 and warrants to purchase 53,250 shares of our common stock at an
exercise price of $2.75 per share. The Westley Group acted as a finder with respect to the
offering and received a cash fee equal to $35,000 and warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of our
common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. Westminister Securities Corp. also received a
finders fee of $21,000 and warrants to purchase 11,726 shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $1.97 per share.
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement
covering the resale of the common stock and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants no
later than 30 days from the closing of the offering and to have such registration statement
declared effective no later than 90 days from the closing of the offering. If we do not timely
file the registration statement or cause it to be declared effective by the required dates, then
each investor in the offering shall be entitled to liquidated damages equal to 1% of the aggregate
purchase price paid by such investor for the securities, and an additional 1% for each month that
we do not file the registration statement or cause it to be declared effective. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall liquidated damages exceed 9% of the aggregate gross proceeds of
the offering.

Item 28. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
|
(1) |
|
File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: |
|
i. |
|
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act; |
|
|
ii. |
|
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective
registration statement. |
|
|
iii. |
|
Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution. |
|
(2) |
|
For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective
amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering
of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. |
II- 4
|
(3) |
|
File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. |
|
|
(4) |
|
For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the
Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the
undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement,
regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if
the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser
and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
|
i. |
|
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small
business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424; |
|
|
ii. |
|
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on
behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the
undersigned small business issuer; |
|
|
iii. |
|
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the
offering containing material information about the undersigned small business
issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small
business issuer; and |
|
|
iv. |
|
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser. |
|
(5) |
|
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the Act) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small
business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as express in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. |
|
|
(6) |
|
For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information
omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in
reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the small
business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act as
part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it
effective. |
|
|
(7) |
|
For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration
statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering
of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities. |
