Electric City Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception and currently has an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent on its ability to increase sales to a level that will allow it to operate profitably and sustain positive operating cash flows. In late April of this year the Company successfully raised $5,625,000 in gross proceeds through a private placement of equity, of which $1,644,419 was used to fund the acquisition of Maximum Performance Group, Inc. (“MPG”) (see note 5). There is no assurance that the remaining proceeds of $3,981,475 will be sufficient to fund operations until sales and profitability improve to the point that the Company is able to operate from internally generated cash flows. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and the related footnotes included in the Electric City Corp. Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Note 2 — Stock-based Compensation
At September 30, 2005, the Company had a stock-based compensation plan, which is more fully described in Note 17 in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on March 31, 2005. The Company applies the recognition and intrinsic value measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations in accounting for those plans. No stock-based compensation expense was reflected in the net loss for the three month or nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 or September 30, 2004, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. The following table illustrates the effect on the net loss and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based compensation:

When the Company adopts FAS 123 (R), currently scheduled for the first quarter of 2006, it will include the expense associated with options issued to employees in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of which valuation model or transition option it will use once it adopts FAS 123 (R).

The Company recognizes revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence has been received that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products and/or services has occurred; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. In addition, the Company follows the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which sets forth guidelines in the timing of revenue recognition based upon factors such as passage of title, installation, payments and customer acceptance. Any amounts received prior to satisfying the Company’s revenue recognition criteria is recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying balance sheet.
Revenues on long-term contracts are recorded under the percentage of completion, cost-to-cost method of accounting. Any anticipated losses on contracts are charged to operations as soon as they are determinable.

Table of Contents

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from contract payment schedules resulting in revenues that have been earned but not yet billed. These amounts are recorded on the balance sheet as “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.” Billings on contracts that do not meet the Company’s revenue recognition policy requirements for which it has been paid or has a valid account receivable are recorded as deferred revenue.
The Company’s MPG subsidiary often bundles contracts to provide monitoring services and web access with the sale of its eMAC hardware. As a result, these sales are considered to be contracts with multiple deliverables which at the time the hardware is delivered and installed includes undelivered services essential to the functionality of the product. Accordingly, the Company defers the revenue for the product and services and the cost of the equipment and installation and recognizes them over the term of the monitoring contract. The monitoring contracts vary in length from 1 month to 5 years.
The Company also has entered into agreements in which it has contracted with utilities to establish a Virtual “Negawatt” Power Plan (“VNPP”). Under these contracts, the Company installs Energy Saver units at participating host locations. The participating host locations receive the benefit of reduced electric usage through the operation of the units. The Company is able to further reduce electric demand requirements during periods of peak demand, providing nearly instantaneous control, measurement and verification of load reduction. The utility companies will pay the Company for the availability of this demand reduction and the Company will recognize revenue under these contracts over the period for which the demand reduction is provided. No revenue has been recognized under such contracts as of September 30, 2005. The cost of the energy saver units currently at host locations under such VNPP programs is included in fixed assets and will be depreciated over the term these units will be used under the VNPP program contract.

Note 5 — Acquisition of Maximum Performance Group, Inc.
On May 3, 2005, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of April 28, 2005, by and among Electric City Corp., MPG Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Electric City (“Merger Subsidiary”), and Maximum Performance Group, Inc. (“MPG”), Electric City acquired MPG pursuant to the merger of MPG with and into Merger Subsidiary, with Merger Subsidiary continuing as the surviving corporation under the name Maximum Performance Group, Inc.
The merger consideration, which is subject to post closing adjustment, consisted of $1,644,419 in cash (net of transaction costs of $137,386 and cash acquired of 136,492), 2,509,708 shares of Electric City common stock and approximately 2,509,708 additional shares which have been placed in escrow. Total consideration was $4,616,881, which consisted of $1,643,525 in cash, stock valued at $2,710,485 (based on the average closing price the Company’s stock for the five days before and after the announcement of the transaction), $137,386 in transaction costs and commissions paid to Delano Securities in the form of 125,485 shares of common stock valued at $1.00 per share (the closing price of the Company’s stock on the effective date of the transaction). The cash portion of the consideration was funded with proceeds from a private placement of the Company’s common stock. (See note 12d for additional information on the private placement). If MPG’s revenues during the two years following the merger exceed an aggregate of $5,500,000 the escrow shares will be released to the former stockholders of MPG at the rate of 202 shares for every $1,000 of revenue in excess of such amount. These shares will be valued at the market price at the time they are released from escrow and will result in an increase in the goodwill associated with the transaction. The escrow shares are also available to satisfy any indemnification claims which the Company may have under the Merger Agreement. As a part of the transaction, the former stockholders of MPG entered into a stock trading agreement with the Company which restricts their ability to sell shares of the Company’s common stock under certain circumstances. As a result of the merger, Merger Subsidiary (which changed its name to Maximum Performance Group, Inc. pursuant to the merger) became responsible for the liabilities of MPG, including approximately $232,000 in payments owed to shareholders and affiliates and approximately $40,000 of bank debt and capitalized lease obligations.
During October 2005 Electric City and the selling shareholders agreed on the final post closing adjustments to the purchase price, which resulted in a $46,405 reduction in the total consideration due the sellers. The final consideration after the post closing adjustments consisted of $1,632,079 in cash, 2,492,229 shares of Electric City common stock and 2,492,229 escrow shares.
MPG is a technology based provider of energy and asset management products and services. MPG currently manufactures and markets its eMAC line of controllers for HVAC and lighting applications. The eMAC line of controllers provide intelligent control and continuous monitoring of HVAC and lighting equipment via wireless paging technology to reduce energy usage and improve system reliability. MPG, which had 2004 revenues of approximately $2.3 million, has offices in New York, NY and San Diego, CA.
In connection with the acquisition of MPG, the Company appointed Leonard Pisano as Electric City’s chief operating officer, and Maximum Performance Group, Inc. entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Pisano under which he will be employed for three years as its President.

Note 6 — Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes loss per share under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 “Earnings Per Share,” which requires presentation of two amounts: basic and diluted loss per common share. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding, and includes all common stock issued. Diluted earnings would include all common stock equivalents. The Company has not included the outstanding options, warrants or shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and convertible debt as common stock equivalents in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 because the effect would be antidilutive.

As discussed in Note 5, as of September 30, 2005, 2,492,229 shares of common stock are being held in escrow for the benefit of the selling shareholders of MPG to be released over the two year period following the purchase of MPG if it achieves certain revenue targets during the period. Any shares not issued to the selling shareholders will be returned to the Company at the end of the two year period. These shares have not been included in the calculation of the weighted average common shares outstanding since their release from escrow is contingent on achieving the revenue targets.
Note 7 — Warranty Obligations
The Company warrants to the purchasers of its EnergySaver line of products that the product will be free of defects in material and workmanship for one year from the date of installation. In addition, the Company warrants the work of its Building Automation and Controls segment for a fixed period of time following completion of certain projects. It records the estimated cost that may be incurred under its warranties at the time revenue is recognized based upon the relationship between historical and anticipated warranty costs and sales volumes. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. While the Company believes that its estimated warranty liability is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, the estimated liability for warranties could differ materially from actual future warranty costs. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability are as follows:

Note 9 — Line of Credit
On February 28, 2005, the Company and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) entered into an amendment to the revolving credit facility which among other things permits the Company to borrow an amount in excess of the amount supported by the borrowing base (an “Overadvance”), up to the $2 million limit of the facility, and reduces the fixed conversion price on the revolving credit line to $1.05 per share. The Company may remain in the Overadvance position until January 1, 2006 (the “Overadvance Period”). Outstanding borrowings under this line of credit were $2 million and $0 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Borrowing in excess of the borrowing base (the Overadvance) was $1.675 million at September 30, 2005. Prior to the end of the Overadvance Period, the Company can repay the Overadvance in cash at 125% of the principal amount. The Overadvance Period will be extended on a month to month basis if the average closing price of the Company’s stock for the five last trading days of the prior month are greater than or equal to $1.16 (110% of the fixed conversion price). If the Overadvance Period is not extended, the Company will be required to repay the Overadvance at 100% of the principal amount at the end of the Overadvance Period. If at any time after the date the shares underlying the revolving credit facility are registered and the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for an eleven day period exceeds $1.21 per share (115% of the fixed conversion price), Laurus will be required to convert to common stock the lesser of the outstanding balance of revolving credit line or 25% of the average aggregate dollar weighted trading volume of the Company’s common stock for the eleven days prior to the conversion (a “Mandatory Conversion”). Only one Mandatory Conversion can be effected in any 22 day period.

We currently market the EnergySaver, the GlobalCommander and eMAC energy conservation technologies, as well as our independent development of scalable, negative power systems under the trade name Virtual “Negawatt” Power Plan or “VNPP”. Electric City is based in Elk Grove Village, Illinois and is traded on The American Stock Exchange under the symbol ELC. Our premier energy saving product is the EnergySaver system, which reduces energy consumed by lighting, typically by 20% to 30%, with minimal reduction in lighting levels. This technology has applications in commercial buildings, factories and office structures, as well as street lighting and parking lot lighting. Combining the technologies of the EnergySaver and GlobalCommander led to the development of our Virtual “Negawatt” Power Plan concept, which is essentially a negative power system which we market primarily to utilities as a demand response system. We believe that the Electric City VNPP is the first demand response system to provide this level of control to a utility without requiring active customer participation and without impacting a customer’s operations or ability to do business. In May 2005, we acquired Maximum Performance Group, Inc. (“MPG”), a technology based provider of energy and asset management products and services. MPG manufactures and markets its eMAC line of controllers for HVAC and lighting applications that provide intelligent control and continuous monitoring of HVAC and lighting equipment via wireless paging technology to reduce energy usage and improve system reliability. In addition, we design, install and monitor building control and environmental systems through our subsidiary Great Lakes Controlled Energy Corporation (“Great Lakes”).
Results of Operations
Our revenues reflect the sale of our products and services, net of allowances for returns and other adjustments. Revenues of Electric City and its subsidiary are generated from the sale of products and services, the vast majority of which are sold in the U.S.
Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of materials and manufacturing labor. Also included in our cost of goods sold are freight, charges from third parties for installation of our products, costs of operating our manufacturing facility, charges for potential future warranty claims, and royalty costs related to EnergySaver sales. Cost of goods sold also includes the wages and expenses of our engineering group at Great Lakes.
Sales and gross profits depend, in part, on the volume and mix of products sold during any given period. Generally, products that we manufacture have a higher gross profit margin than products that we purchase and resell.
A portion of our operating expense is relatively fixed, such as the cost of our facilities. Accordingly, an increase in the volume of sales will generally result in an increase to our gross margins since these fixed expenses do not increase proportionately with sales. We have not consistently utilized the full manufacturing capacity of our facility and, therefore, believe that the fixed nature of some of our

-19-

expenses would contribute to an increase in our gross margin in future periods if sales volumes increase. In particular we believe that our facility in Elk Grove Village can support a sales level of EnergySaver products of approximately $15 million to $20 million per year without a significant further investment in fixed assets.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include the following components:
    direct labor and commission costs related to our employee sales force;
 
    expenses related to our non-manufacturing management, supervisory and staff salaries and employee benefits;
 
    commission costs related to our independent sales representatives and our distributors;
 
    costs related to insurance, travel and customer entertainment and office supplies costs and the cost of non-manufacturing utilities;
 
    costs related to marketing and advertising our products;
 
    costs of outside professionals such as lawyers, accountants, and investor relations professionals;
 
    research and development expenses;
 
    costs related to administrative functions that serve to support the existing businesses of the Company, as well as to provide the infrastructure for future growth.
Interest expense includes the costs and expenses associated with working capital indebtedness, the mortgage on our headquarters building, a convertible term loan, notes payable, capitalized leases and various auto loans, all as reflected on our current and prior financial statements. Also included in interest expense is amortization of the debt discount which includes the fair value of the warrants issued to Laurus Master Fund Ltd. (“Laurus”), and the value of beneficial conversion feature attributed to the convertible term loan. In addition, interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing costs related to the credit facility with Laurus. Also included in interest expense is a one time charge related to a warrant issued to Laurus in exchange for its consent and waiver which was required to allow us to complete the acquisition of MPG and close the PIPE Transaction in May of 2005.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2004.
Our total revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 increased $740,804 or 130% to $1,312,584 as compared to $571,780 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Revenue from our Energy Technology segment increased approximately $1,026,000 to approximately $1,124,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to approximately $98,000 for the same period in 2004. Approximately $410,000 or 40% of the increase in the revenue for this segment was due to the acquisition of MPG effective April 28, 2005. The remaining increase was the result of increased commercial sales of EnergySavers. During the quarter we sold 50 EnergySavers as compared to seven EnergySavers during the third quarter of 2004. A significant portion of the increase in EnergySaver sales was due to a contract with a single customer who initially participated in the ComEd VNPP program and elected to purchase units for use in its locations outside of the ComEd territory. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 18 more Energy Savers under this contract through the middle of the fourth quarter of 2005 and believe we will see similar, but smaller initial commercial sales to customers exposed to the EnergySaver technology through their participation in one of our VNPP programs in future periods.
Shipments under the ComEd VNPP program were limited to 28 units during the third quarter. As of September 30, 2005, we had shipped 132 units to 81 customer host sites under the ComEd program, but we have not recognized any revenue related to the ComEd program. The ComEd VNPP is structured as a service agreement with a 13 year term in which Electric City will provide up to 50 MWs of curtailment capacity to ComEd at a fixed price per kilowatt of demonstrated capacity, payable quarterly in arrears whether the capacity is used or not. Under the terms of the ComEd agreement, we will recognize service revenue over the life of the program. While we do not expect to recognize a significant level of capacity

-20-


Table of Contents

revenue in 2005 under the ComEd contract, we should recognize revenue of approximately $25,000 during fourth quarter of 2005.
Shipments under the ComEd program will continue at a controlled pace until we arrange a form of long term financing for the program. In the interim we have been working to enroll large national companies (primarily retailers) as customer hosts for our VNPP programs. We have been focusing on companies who represent significant load in the ComEd territory and can participate in other VNPP programs across the country. We also target customers who have sites outside of our VNPP programs which provide the potential for significant sales outside of the VNPP program.
Revenue from the sale of building automation products and services decreased approximately $285,000, or 60% to $189,000 during the three month period ended September 30, 2005, from approximately $474,000 recorded in the same period during 2004. Revenue in this segment is recognized on a percentage of completion basis, thus will vary based on the level of activity during a particular period. During 2004 this segment of our business was working on two large contracts, one of which was completed in December of 2004 and the other which was completed in February 2005. During the third quarter of 2005 we entered into a $4.0 million contract to provide building automation controls for the expansion of the McCormick Place convention center in Chicago. We anticipate that this contract will take approximately two years to complete. Revenue for this segment should increase moderately from the levels realized in recent quarters beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005 as a result of this project.
Cost of sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 increased $723,269 or 116% to $1,348,361 from $625,092 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004. The increase in cost of sales is due primarily to the addition of MPG and the increase in Energy Saver sales. We realized a loss at the gross profit line of $35,777 during the third quarter of 2005 as compared to a loss of $53,312 for the same period in 2004. The losses in both periods are the result of the relatively low sales levels realized in both the Energy Technology and Building Automation segments.
SG&A for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 increased $733,954 or 63% to $1,900,785 from $1,166,831 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004. Almost the entire increase in SG&A expense was due to the addition of MPG effective April 28, 2005. We expect our quarterly SG&A expense to remain largely unchanged into the first half of 2006.
Other expense for the three-month period ending September 30, 2005 increased $237, to $77,533 from $77,296 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004. Interest expense increased $11,193 to $94,413 from $83,220 recorded in the third quarter of 2004. Interest expense increased as a result of borrowings on the line of credit, which was partially offset by reductions in amortization of the deferred issuance costs and debt discount associated with the convertible term loan. Interest income increased $10,956 to $16,880 during the third quarter of 2005 from $5,924 earned in the third quarter of 2004. The increase in interest income was due to higher average invested cash balances and increases in interest rates paid on the invested balances.
Preferred stock dividends for the third quarter of 2005 declined $101,634 to $344,000 from $445,634 for the same period in 2004. We accrued dividends of $344,000 and $325,280 on our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. The accrued dividends were satisfied through the issuance of 3,440 and 3,253 additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in the dividend accrual was due to the compounding effect of paying dividends on the preferred stock in additional shares of preferred stock. We were required to recognize a non-cash deemed dividend of $120,354 on September 30, 2004, due to the fact that the conversion price on the shares issued in satisfaction of the quarterly dividend was lower than the market price of our common stock on the date of issue.

Nine months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Nine months Ended September 30, 2004.
Total revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 increased $1,901,779 or 98% to $3,845,338 as compared to $1,943,559 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. Revenue from our Energy Technology segment increased approximately $2,355,000 to approximately $2,924,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to approximately $569,000 for the same period in 2004. The acquisition of MPG, which was effective April 28, 2005, was responsible for approximately $624,000 or 26% of the increase in the revenue for this segment. Approximately $325,000 of the increase in revenue was due to a short term utility consulting project completed in May 2005. The remaining increase was the result of increased commercial sales of EnergySavers. During the first nine months of the year we sold 161 Energy Savers as compared to 62 EnergySavers during the during the same period during 2004. A significant portion of the increase in EnergySaver sales was due to a contract with a single customer who initially participated in the ComEd VNPP program and elected to purchase units for use in its locations outside of the ComEd territory. We expect to ship approximately 18 more EnergySavers under this contract through the middle of the fourth quarter of 2005 and believe we will see similar, but smaller initial commercial sales to customers exposed to the EnergySaver technology through their participation in one of our VNPP programs in future periods.
Revenue from the sale of building automation products and services decreased approximately $454,000, or 33% to $921,000 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, from approximately $1,375,000 recorded in the same period during 2004. Revenue in this segment is recognized on a percentage of completion basis, thus will vary based on the level of activity during a particular period. During the first nine months of 2004 this segment was working on two large contracts. One of these projects was completed in December of 2004 and the other project was completed in February 2005. Revenue for the first nine-months of 2005 included two months of revenue related to the project completed in February, as well as revenue from other smaller projects. We were recently notified that we have been selected as the winning bidder on a large multi-year building controls project which will total approximately $4.0 million in project revenue to Great Lakes. Great Lakes began working on this contract during the third quarter of 2005. Revenue for this segment should increase moderately beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005 as a result of this project.
Cost of sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 increased $1,299,043 or 65% to $3,307,227 from $2,008,184 for the same period in 2004. The increase in cost of sales was due primarily to the acquisition of MPG during the second quarter of 2005, as well as the increase in EnergySaver sales during the period. Gross profit for the first nine months of 2005 increased $602,736 to $538,111 from a loss of $64,625 in the first nine months of 2004. The increase in gross profit was due to increased EnergySaver sales during the period, recognition of profit on a building automation control project that was completed during the first quarter, and to consulting revenue earned by the Energy Technology segment during the period. The consulting assignment, which was a one time project, ended in May 2005. Gross profit for the remainder of 2005 will be derived primarily from EnergySaver and eMAC sales, various building automation control projects and VNPP projects.
SG&A for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 increased $1,498,675 or 47% to $4,667,615 from $3,168,940 for the same period during 2004. Approximately $1,183,000 or 79% of the increase was due to the addition of MPG effective April 28, 2005. Personnel costs at Electric City increased approximately $179,000 as a result of new hires in the areas of sales and engineering. The balance of the increase is attributable to increases in sales commissions, travel expense and research and development, which was partially offset by reductions in legal expenses.
Other expense decreased $182,269, to $384,482 from $566,751 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amortization of the deferred issuance costs and debt discount related to the Laurus revolver and convertible term loan, which is included in interest expense,

-22-


Table of Contents

declined $424,643 to $105,090 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 from $529,733 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. The deferred issuance costs and debt discount are being amortized using the effective interest method, thus decline as the outstanding balance on the term loan is repaid or converted. During January of 2004 Laurus converted a portion of its term loan resulting in accelerated recognition of $193,000 in amortization expense. No such conversions occurred during 2005. Other interest expense increased $106,300 primarily as a result of borrowings under the revolver. There were no borrowings under the revolver during 2004. During the second quarter of 2005 we issued a 5 year warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share to Laurus in exchange for its consent and waiver to permit us to complete the PIPE Transaction and to acquire MPG. This warrant was valued at $160,000 using a modified Black-Sholes option pricing model and the value was charged to interest expense during the period. Interest income increased $24,507 to $42,167 during the first nine months of 2005 from $17,660 earned in the first nine months of 2004. The increase in interest income was due to higher average invested cash balances and increases in the interest rates paid on the invested balances.
Preferred stock dividends for the first nine months of 2005 declined $3,214,739 to $1,017,800 from $4,232,539 for the same period in 2004. We accrued dividends of $1,017,800 and $1,308,780 on our Convertible Preferred Stock during the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The dividends accrued during the first nine months of 2005 and 2004 were satisfied through the issuance of additional shares of our preferred stock. The decline in the dividend accrual was due to a reduction in the dividend rate on the preferred stock from 10% to 6% and a reduction in the average number of shares outstanding as a result of last year’s redemption and preferred stock conversions during the latter half of 2004 and early 2005. We were required to recognize non-cash deemed dividends of $1,048,301 during the first nine months of 2004 due to the fact that the conversion price on the shares issued in satisfaction of the dividend was lower than the market price of our common stock on the date of issuance of the dividend shares. No deemed dividend was recorded for the shares issued in satisfaction of the 2005 dividends because the market price of our stock was below the conversion price of the dividend shares on the dates of issuance. In addition, during the first quarter of 2004 we were required to recognize a non-cash deemed dividend of $1,860,458 as a result of the redemption and exchange transaction (as discussed in the next paragraph) which closed during the period. For accounting purposes the transaction was viewed as a redemption of the outstanding preferred stock for cash and shares of the new Series E Preferred stock. The non-cash deemed dividend was determined by comparing the fair value of the consideration given (the cash and the market value of the Series E Preferred) to the carrying value of the preferred stock that was redeemed. The fair value of the consideration given exceeded the carrying value of the existing preferred primarily due to the fact that the market price of our common stock was higher on the day the redemption and exchange transaction closed than it was when the existing preferred stock was originally issued. During 2004 we also incurred a $15,000 deemed dividend when we agreed to extend the expiration date on warrants to purchase shares of our Series E Convertible Preferred stock from June 30, 2004 to December 31, 2004. We agreed to extend these warrants to permit holders who participated in the redemption and exchange to exercise their warrants without violating the short swing trading rules of section 16(b) of the Securities Act of 1934.
As is more fully described in Note 15(p) of our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we completed a redemption and exchange offering on March 22, 2004 in which we redeemed 538,462 shares of our outstanding Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Existing Preferred”), and exchanged the remaining 2,104,509 shares of Existing Preferred for 210,451 shares of a new Series E Convertible Preferred Stock at the rate of 1 share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock for 10 shares of Existing Preferred. The Existing Preferred Stock carried a dividend rate of 10% payable at the Company’s election in cash or in additional shares of preferred stock during the first three years following issuance. After the third anniversary of issuance we were to pay all dividends on the Existing Preferred in cash and the dividend rate was to increase by 1/2% every six months until it reached 15%, where it would remain until the shares were converted or redeemed. The Series E Preferred carries a 6% dividend that is payable at the Company’s election in cash or additional shares of Series E Preferred for as long as the shares remain outstanding. The reduction in the number of outstanding shares of preferred stock, in

combination with the reduction in the dividend rate, has reduced the dilutive effect of the payment-in-kind dividend on the preferred stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2004, we incurred a net loss of $5.16 million and used $4.04 million of cash for operating activities. Primarily as a result of our continuing losses and lack of liquidity, our independent registered public accounting firm modified their opinion on our December 31, 2004 Consolidated Financial Statement to contain a paragraph wherein they expressed a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have taken steps to improve our current liquidity and provide the growth capital necessary to fund our plan for future growth, although these steps may not be sufficient to sustain us until operations reach profitability. Our efforts to raise additional capital are discussed below.
As of September 30, 2005 we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,574,368 compared to $1,789,808 on December 31, 2004. Our debt obligations as of September 30, 2005 consisted of a convertible secured revolving loan of $2,000,000, a mortgage of $571,000 on our facility in Elk Grove Village Illinois, a convertible secured term note of $396,790, notes payable to former shareholders of MPG of approximately $177,000, vehicle loans of approximately $28,000 and capitalized leases of approximately $6,200.
Our principal cash requirements are for operating expenses, including employee costs, the costs related to research and development, advertising costs, the cost of outside services including those providing accounting, legal, engineering and consulting services, rent, the funding of inventory and accounts receivable, and capital expenditures and the costs of servicing our outstanding debt. We have financed our operations since inception through the private placement of our common stock, preferred stock and various secured and unsecured loans.

Nine months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Nine months Ended September 30, 2004.
Net cash decreased $215,440 during the first nine months of 2005 as compared to increasing $190,116 during the same period in 2004.
Operating Activities
Cash consumed by operating activities increased $2,054,123 or 67% to $5,117,933 during the first nine months of 2005 as compared to consuming $3,063,810 during the same period in 2004. Cash used to fund the net loss before changes in working capital, increased $534,660 or 17%, to $3,704,207 during the first nine months of 2005 from $3,169,547 during the same period in 2004 largely as a result of the SG&A expense added as a result of the acquisition of Maximum Performance Group in May 2005. Changes in working capital consumed $1,413,726 during the first nine months of 2005 as compared to generating $105,737 during the first nine months of 2004. Approximately $900,000 was used during 2005 to satisfy liabilities assumed as part of the acquisition of MPG, including accounts payable and accrued expenses. Increases in inventory and reductions in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue at Electric City and Great Lakes also contributed to the increase in cash used for working capital purposes. Our inventory has increased as we have built product for a contract for EnergySavers, most of which will be delivered before the end of 2005. The reduction in accounts payable and deferred revenue is the result of completion of the long-term contract in our building automation controls segment. Accrued expenses declined as we paid certain accrued liability during the first half of 2005. These uses of cash were partially offset by a decline in our accounts receivable as we received payment during the first nine months of 2005 for the building automation control projects completed during the fourth quarter of 2004 and first quarter of 2005.
Declines in accounts receivable generated $400,987 during the first nine months of 2004, while increases in inventory and other current assets consumed $469,012 during the same period. The decline in accounts receivable resulted from receipt of amounts held as retention until completion of larger building automation and controls projects as well as improved collections and the slowdown in sales during the period. The increases in inventory and other current assets were both related to the ramp-up in the ComEd program. A net decline in accounts payable and accrued expenses consumed cash of $304,308 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. This decline is primarily the result of payments by Great Lakes to subcontractors who worked on long term projects that were completed in the fourth quarter of 2003. An increase in customer deposits offset the net decline in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Customer deposits increased $473,774 due to the receipt of a $500,000 pre-payment from ComEd for curtailment capacity.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities increased $2,101,520 to $2,114,761 during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2005, from $13,241 for the same period in 2004. As part of the acquisition of MPG, which closed in May 2005, we paid the selling shareholders $1,643,525 in cash and incurred $137,386 in transaction related costs. This was partially offset by cash balances of $136,492 acquired as part of the transaction. Also during the first nine months of 2005, we invested approximately $404,000 in equipment for the ComEd VNPP. Under the ComEd program we retain ownership of the equipment and charge ComEd for its use over the term of the program. Thus as equipment is shipped, the cost of the equipment, including installation, is treated as a capital purchase and booked to property, plant & equipment. Miscellaneous capital expenditures for computers, furniture and service vehicles also consumed cash of approximately $66,000 during the first nine months of 2005.
During the first nine months of 2004 we invested $13,241 in new computers and testing equipment.

Financing Activities
Financing activities generated cash of $7,017,254 and $3,267,167 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During 2005 we generated cash of $5,625,000 through the issuance of common stock and warrants to a group of investors and $2 million through borrowing on our line of credit. This was partially offset by issuance costs of $216,787 and scheduled principal payments on our various loans of $390,959.
During 2004, we raised $11,000,000 through the issuance of a package of securities that included shares of our common stock and 5 year warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock. We used $7,000,000 of the net proceeds from this issuance to effectuate a redemption and exchange offer for our Series A, Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. We incurred expenses related to these transactions of $897,135. During the period we also made scheduled principal payments on our mortgage and auto loan of $29,340 and received $193,648 in net proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common and preferred stock.
LIQUIDITY
Our primary sources of liquidity are our available cash reserves. As of September 30, 2005 our cash balance was $1,574,368.
During fiscal 2005, we anticipate our cash usage will be approximately $2 million to $3 million higher than the $4 million used during fiscal 2004 as a result of increased business activity and the acquisition of MPG. We anticipate that our cash needs will be funded primarily by the recently completed issuance of common stock and borrowing under our $2 million line of credit. We are also in the process of seeking additional financing to fund operating needs and our VNPP programs in the form of debt and/or equity.
We currently have a $2 million secured convertible working capital line with Laurus. The shift in our focus away from commercial sales to utility programs has resulted in a significant reduction in the amount of receivables generated. As of September 30, 2005 eligible receivables would have supported borrowings of approximately $325,000 under the facility. To address the problem created by our low borrowing base, we negotiated an amendment to the Laurus credit facility in February 2005, which among other things granted us an overadvance on the working capital line though December 2005. On February 28, 2005 we borrowed the full $2 million available under the facility without the requirement that we have eligible receivables to support the advance. For a more detailed description of the amendment to this credit facility, please see note 9 of our consolidated financial statements.
On April 28, 2005 we closed on the private sale of a package of securities that included shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock, receiving gross proceeds of $5,625,000. Approximately $1.6 million of these proceeds were used to fund a portion of the acquisition of MPG, which closed on May 3, 2005. The remaining proceeds, net of issuance costs and transaction costs related to the acquisition of MPG of approximately $354,000, will be used for general corporate purposes of the combined enterprise.
Our ability to continue the development, manufacturing and expansion of sales of our products, including the EnergySaver and the GlobalCommander, will require the continued commitment of significant funds. The actual timing and amount of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the amount and timing of future revenues, the level and amount of product marketing and sales efforts, the magnitude of research and development, and our ability to improve margins on our products.
During the last four fiscal years we have raised net proceeds of approximately $34 million through the issuance of shares of our common and preferred stock, which has allowed us to continue to execute our business plan. Most of these funds have been consumed by operating activities, either to fund our losses

or for working capital requirements. In an attempt to move the Company to a position where it can start to generate positive cash flow our management has set the following key objectives for cash flow improvement in 2005:
    Successfully execute on our ComEd and PacifiCorp VNPP contracts. We believe that this is important from several different perspectives. We believe that these contracts can establish Electric City as a leader in negative power development, thereby creating VNPP opportunities with other utilities. We also believe that these projects will lead to increased commercial sales of the EnergySaver as host customers who participate in the VNPP programs with operations outside the territories covered by the VNPPs gain exposure to the technology. We have already seen VNPP host customers place such direct orders for EnergySaver systems. Both of the ComEd and PacifiCorp projects are currently under contract, therefore we are focusing a great deal of our resources on these projects, though shipments will continue to be limited until we arrange for long term financing. We estimate that the cost to completely build-out the ComEd and PacifiCorp projects will be between $30 million to $40 million, most of which will be funded through long-term financing arrangements. This financing will most likely be raised in several pieces over time as the projects progress.
 
    Increase the profitability of EnergySaver sales. Increasing the margins earned on EnergySaver sales will also have an immediate and positive impact on our cash flow. We have seen improvements in EnergySaver margins at times over the past three years with increases in volume. We believe that increased volumes that will result from the VNPP programs should lead to consistently higher margins as a result of increased capacity utilization.
 
    Expand the sales of eMAC equipment and monitoring sales. We believe that the eMAC product line has the potential to earn margins that exceed those of any other product we currently sell. To realize the benefit of these margins we need to greatly expand the sales of the product from the levels realized to date.
 
    Secure additional VNPP projects. We are currently in discussions with several utilities regarding implementing VNPP programs in their service territories. Recent legislative actions by some states are encouraging or mandating utilities to include demand reduction goals in their long term energy plans. We believe we are well positioned to take advantage of these new requirements.
 
    Expand and improve the product line through internal development or acquisition. We would like to develop or acquire additional cost effective demand response technology that we can incorporate into our VNPP offering and we want to find ways to reduce the cost of our current technology. The recently completed acquisition of Maximum Performance Group, a manufacturer of an air conditioning control technology, is directly related to this strategy.
 
    Build on the recent project successes at Great Lakes Controlled Energy to make the Building Controls and Automation business grow and become profitable. Great Lakes has recently successfully completed certain projects which have contributed to improvements in our overall profitability and cash flow. Great Lakes’ successful execution on these projects has led to opportunities to bid on other significant projects. If this segment continues to improve as it has during the last two years, we believe this segment could record a profit for the full fiscal year 2005 and is positioned to be profitable in future years.
 
    Continue to aggressively manage our costs in order to conserve cash. While we made significant progress in reducing our costs during the last several years, we must continue to effectively manage all of our costs so that they do not negate the improvements in profitability we are working to create in our Energy Technology and Building Automation and Control segments.

    Secure additional capital to fund our VNPP initiatives and to continue to fund operations until the business turns cash flow positive. Our ability to raise additional capital in the future will depend a great deal on our ability to make progress toward the goals outlined above.
We believe that if we are successful in achieving these priorities we should have sufficient liquidity to allow us to operate until our operations turn cash flow positive. If we are not able to achieve some or all of these priorities we may begin to experience a liquidity shortage sometime in early 2006 which could force us to scale back our growth plans, or, in the worst case, cease operations.
If we raise additional capital in future periods (which may require stockholder approval), our existing stockholders will likely experience dilution of their present equity ownership position and voting rights, depending upon the number of shares issued and the terms and conditions of the issuance. Any new equity securities will likely have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The only significant exposure we have to market risk at this time is the risk of changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on many of our debt facilities are variable and change with changes in the prime rate. The interest rate on our revolving line of credit and convertible term loan is equal to the prime rate (currently 6.75%) plus 1.75%, or 6%, whichever is greater. The interest rate on our mortgage is equal to the prime rate plus 1/2%. If the prime rate were to increase one percentage point, the annual interest cost on the revolving line of credit, term loan and mortgage would increase by approximately $31,000.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
a.   Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
    Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by the report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by the report.
 
b.   Changes in internal controls.
 
    There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls during the period covered by the report.
 
c.   Disclosure controls and procedures.
 
    Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
