Table of Contents
As
of December 31, 2009, we held approximately 47 U.S. patents and had 2 patent applications pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The expiration dates of our patents
range from 2011 to 2027, with the majority expiring after 2015.
Many
of the U.S. patents described above are the result of retaining ownership of inventions made under U.S. government-funded research and development programs. As a qualifying small
business, we have retained commercial ownership rights to proprietary technology developed under various U.S. government contracts and grants, including small business innovation research contracts.
With respect to any invention made with government assistance, the government has a nonexclusive, nontransferable,
irrevocable, paid-up license to use the technology or have the technology employed for or on behalf of the U.S. government throughout the world. Under certain conditions, the U.S.
government also has "march-in rights." These rights enable the U.S. government to require us to grant a nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or exclusive license in any field of use to
responsible applicants, upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances.
Foreign Operations
We have foreign operations through our facility in Burlington, Ontario, Canada and our sales and service offices in Prague, Czech
Republic, Shenzhen, China and Shanghai, China.
Government Regulation
We presently are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to, among other things, export control
energy generation, safe working conditions, handling and disposal of hazardous and potentially hazardous substances and emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. To date, we believe that we have
obtained all the necessary government permits and have been in substantial compliance with all of these applicable laws and regulations.
Government Contracts
On occasion we act as a prime contractor or major subcontractor for many different U.S. government programs that involve energy-related
products. Over its lifetime, a program may be implemented by the award of many individual contracts and subcontracts, or contracts with option years, or partially funded contracts.
U.S.
government contracts include provisions permitting termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice, at the U.S. government's discretion. The U.S. government generally pays
compensation for work actually done and commitments made at the time of termination, and some allowance for profit on the work performed. The U.S. government may also terminate for default in
performance and pay only the value delivered to the U.S. government. It can also hold the contractor responsible for re-procurement costs.
Our
government contracts are also subject to specific procurement statutes and regulations and a variety of socio-economic and other factors. Failure to comply with these regulations and
requirements could lead to loss of contract or suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. Examples of these statutes and regulations are those
related to procurement integrity, export control, employment practices, the accuracy of records and the recording of costs.
Sales
to the U.S. government may be affected by changes in research interests in the areas in which we engage, changing government department budgets, and changing procurement policies.
With the sale of our Applied Technology business unit in January 2010 we have no significant revenues from continuing operations being derived from government contracts.

Employees
At December 31, 2009, we had a total of 226 full-time employees, 8 part-time employees and 34 contract
employees. Of the total, 90 persons were employed in engineering, 115 in manufacturing, 44 in administration and 19 in sales and marketing. Our future success depends in large part on the continued
service of our key technical and senior management personnel, and on our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified employees, particularly those highly skilled design, process and test
engineers involved in the manufacture of existing products and the development of new products and processes. The competition for such personnel is intense, and the loss of key employees could have a
material adverse effect on us. None of our employees are represented by a union. We believe that relations with our employees are good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The risks described below may materially impact your investment in our company or may in the future, and, in
some cases already do, materially affect us and our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider these factors with respect to your investment in our
securities. This section includes or refers to certain forward-looking statements; you should read the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements beginning on
pages 4 of this report.
Risks Related to Our Company
We have a history of operating losses, may not be able to achieve profitability and may require additional capital in order to sustain our businesses.
For each of the past ten fiscal years, we have experienced losses from operating our businesses. As of December 31, 2009, we had
an accumulated deficit of approximately $231.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2009 we had a loss from continuing operations of approximately $30.0 million. If,
however, we are unable to operate on a cash flow breakeven basis in the future, we may need to raise additional capital in order to sustain our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to achieve such results or to raise such funds if they are required.
We could issue additional common stock, which might dilute the book value of our common stock.
We have authorized 200,000,000 shares of our common stock, of which 70,567,781 shares were issued and outstanding as of
December 31, 2009. Our board of directors has the authority, without action or vote of our stockholders in most cases, to issue all or a part of any authorized but unissued shares. Such stock
issuances may be made at a price that reflects a discount from the then-current trading price of our common stock. In addition, in order to raise the capital that we may need at today's
stock prices, we will need to issue securities that are convertible into or exercisable for a significant amount of our common stock. These issuances would dilute your percentage ownership interest,
which will have the effect of reducing your influence on matters on which our stockholders vote, and might dilute the book value of our common stock. You may incur additional dilution of net tangible
book value if holders of stock options, whether currently outstanding or subsequently granted, exercise their options or if warrant holders exercise their warrants to purchase shares of our common
stock.

The sale or issuance of a large number of shares of our common stock could depress our stock price.
As of February 28, 2010, we have reserved 35,636,364 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of stock options and
warrants and 9,015,820 shares for future issuances under our stock plans. We have also reserved 251,678 shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of the outstanding Series B Preferred
Stock, which can be converted at any time. In addition, we have reserved 24,038,461 shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, which can be
converted at any time. As of March 1, 2010, holders of warrants and options to purchase an aggregate of 30,310,731 shares of our common stock may exercise those securities and transfer the
underlying common stock at any time subject, in some cases, to Rule 144.
The execution of our growth strategy is dependent upon the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for our customers, and is affected by general
economic conditions
.
The
current recessionary condition of the general economy and limited availability of credit and liquidity could materially and adversely affect our business
and results of operations. Many purchasers of our inverters and other products require financing from third-parties to finance their operations. Given the current recession and the restricted credit
markets, certain of our
customers may be unable or unwilling to finance the cost to purchase our products or may be forced to cancel previously submitted orders or delay taking shipment until suitable credit is again
available. Collecting payment from customers facing liquidity challenges may also be difficult. These factors could materially and adversely affect our anticipated revenue and growth and, accordingly,
our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
If we are unable to maintain our technological expertise in design and manufacturing processes, we will not be able to successfully compete.
We believe that our future success will depend upon our ability to develop and provide products that meet the changing needs of our
customers. This requires that we successfully anticipate and respond to technological changes in design and manufacturing processes in a cost-effective and timely manner. As a result, we
continually evaluate the advantages and feasibility of new product design and manufacturing processes. We cannot, however, assure you that our process improvement efforts will be successful. The
introduction of new products embodying new technologies and the emergence of shifting customer demands or changing industry standards could render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable,
which would have a significant impact on our ability to generate revenue. Our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to develop and introduce a variety of new products and product
enhancements to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers. We may experience delays in releasing new products and product enhancements in the future. Material delays in introducing
new products or product enhancements may cause customers to forego purchases of our products and purchase those of our competitors.
The U.S. government has certain rights relating to our intellectual property.
Many of our patents are the result of inventions made under U.S. government-funded research and development programs. With respect to
any invention made with government assistance, the government has a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to use the technology or have the technology employed for or
on behalf of the U.S. government throughout the world. Under certain conditions, the U.S. government also has "march-in rights," which enable the U.S. government to require us to grant a
nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or exclusive license in any field of use to responsible applicants, upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances.

Table of Contents
Our business could be adversely affected if we are unable to protect our patents and proprietary technology.
As of February 28, 2010, we held approximately 47 U.S. patents and had 2 patent applications pending with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office. The expiration dates of our patents range from 2011 to 2027, with the majority expiring after 2015. As a qualifying small business from our inception to date, we have retained
commercial ownership rights to proprietary technology developed under various U.S. government contracts and grants.
Our
patent and trade secret rights are of significant importance to us and to our future prospects. Our ability to compete effectively against other companies in our industry will
depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and systems designs relating to our products. Although we have attempted to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, we do
not know whether we have been or will be successful in doing so. Further, our competitors may independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours. No
assurance can be given as to the issuance of additional patents or, if so issued, as to their scope. Patents granted may not provide meaningful protection from competitors. Even if a competitor's
products were to infringe patents owned by us, it would be costly for us to pursue our rights in an enforcement action and there can be no assurance that we would be successful in enforcing our
intellectual property rights. Because we intend to enforce our patents, trademarks and copyrights and protect our trade secrets, we may be involved from time to time in litigation to determine the
enforceability, scope and validity of these rights. This litigation could result in substantial costs to us and divert resources from operational goals. In addition, effective patent, trademark,
service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country where we operate or sell our products. In addition, certain of our customers may request that we provide them
with assurances that elements of our intellectual property be available for their use in the event that we are prevented from satisfying our service and warranty obligations to them or their
customers.
We may not be able to maintain confidentiality of our proprietary knowledge.
In addition to our patent rights, we also rely on treatment of our technology as trade secrets through confidentiality agreements,
which all of our employees are required to sign, assigning to us all patent rights and other intellectual property developed by our employees during their employment with us. Our employees have also
agreed not to disclose any trade secrets or confidential information without our prior written consent. We also rely on non-disclosure agreement to protect our trade secrets and
proprietary knowledge. These agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. Our trade secrets may also be known without breach of these agreements or may be
independently developed by competitors. Failure to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology and information could harm our results of operations and financial condition by reducing or
eliminating our technological advantages in the marketplace.
Others may assert that our technology infringes their intellectual property rights.
We believe that we do not infringe the proprietary rights of others and, to date, no third parties have asserted an infringement claim
against us, but we may be subject to infringement claims in the future. The defense of any claims of infringement made against us by third parties could involve significant legal costs and require our
management to divert time from our business operations. If we are unsuccessful in defending any claims of infringement, we may be forced to obtain licenses or to pay royalties to continue to use our
technology. We may not be able to obtain any necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain necessary licenses or other rights, or if these licenses are costly,
our operating results may suffer either from reductions in revenues through our inability to serve customers or from increases in costs to license third-party technologies.

Table of Contents
Our success is dependent upon attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel and the loss of key personnel could significantly hurt our business.
To achieve success, we must attract and retain highly qualified technical, operational and executive employees. The loss of the
services of key employees or an inability to attract, train and retain qualified and skilled employees, specifically engineering, operations and business development personnel, could result in the
loss of business or could otherwise negatively impact our ability to operate and grow our business successfully.
We expect significant competition for our products and services.
In the past, we have faced limited competition in providing research services, prototype development and custom and limited quantity
manufacturing. We expect competition to intensify greatly as commercial applications increase for our products under development. Many of our competitors and potential competitors are well established
and have substantially greater financial, research and development, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than we do. Some of our competitors and potential competitors are much larger than
we are. If these larger competitors decide to focus on the development of distributed power and power quality products, they have the manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities to complete
research, development and commercialization of these products more quickly and effectively than we can. There can also be no assurance that current and future competitors will not develop new or
enhanced
technologies perceived to be superior to those sold or developed by us. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in this competitive environment.
We are dependent on third-party suppliers for the supply of key components for our products.
We use third-party suppliers for components in many of our systems. From time to time, shipments can be delayed because of
industry-wide or other shortages of necessary materials and components from third-party suppliers. A supplier's failure to supply components in a timely manner, or to supply components
that meet our quality, quantity or cost requirements, or our inability to obtain substitute sources of these components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us, could impair our ability to
deliver our products in accordance with contractual obligations.
We are in the process of establishing a contract manufacturing relationship with a Chinese supplier for certain of our inverter products
.
We
are in the process of commencing a contract manufacturing relationship with a supplier in Asia for the manufacture of certain of our inverters as a means of
reducing our costs and increasing the quality for those products, thereby enabling us to maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace for these products. Our Asian partner, working closely with
us, will in turn be developing a common Asian supply chain for the components that are incorporated into our inverters. While we believe that our Asian contract manufacturer is qualified to
manufacture these inverters for us, we may need to address short-term quality and delivery scheduling issues as we develop this new supply chain for these inverters. If we were to
encounter significant quality or delivery schedule concerns it might materially and adversely affect our relationships with customers for these inverters and our results of operations.
If we experience a period of significant growth or expansion, it could place a substantial strain on our resources.
If our power control products are successful in achieving rapid market penetration, we may be required to deliver large volumes of
technically complex products or components to our customers on a timely basis at reasonable costs to us. We have limited experience in ramping up our manufacturing capabilities to meet large-scale
production requirements and delivering large volumes of our power
14
Table of Contents
control
products. If we were to commit to deliver large volumes of our power control products, we cannot assure you that we will be able to satisfy large-scale commercial production on a timely and
cost-effective basis or that such growth will not strain our operational, financial and technical resources.
Our business could be subject to product liability claims.
Our business exposes us to potential product liability claims, which are inherent in the manufacturing, marketing and sale of our
products, and we may face substantial liability for damages resulting from the faulty design or manufacture of products or improper use of products by end users. We currently maintain a moderate level
of product liability insurance, and there can be no assurance that this insurance will provide sufficient coverage in the event of a claim. Also, we cannot predict whether we will be able to maintain
such coverage on acceptable terms, if at all, or that a product liability claim would not harm our business or financial condition. In addition, negative publicity in connection with the faulty design
or manufacture of our products would adversely affect our ability to market and sell our products.
We are subject to a variety of environmental laws that expose us to potential financial liability.
Our operations are regulated under a number of federal, state and foreign environmental and safety laws and regulations that govern,
among other things, the discharge or release of hazardous materials into the air and water as well as the handling, storage and disposal of these materials. These laws and regulations include the
Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as well as analogous state and foreign
laws. Because we use hazardous materials in certain of our manufacturing processes, we are required to comply with these environmental laws. In addition, because we generate hazardous wastes, we,
along with any other person who arranges for the
disposal of our wastes, may be subject to potential financial exposure for costs associated with an investigation and remediation of sites at which we have arranged for the disposal of hazardous
wastes if those sites become contaminated and even if we fully comply with applicable environmental laws. If we were found to be a responsible party, we could be held jointly and severably liable for
the costs of remedial actions. To date, we have not been cited for any improper discharge or release of hazardous materials.
Businesses and consumers might not adopt alternative energy solutions as a means for obtaining their electricity and power needs.
On-site distributed power generation solutions, such as fuel cell, photovoltaic and wind turbine systems, which utilize our
products, provide an alternative means for obtaining electricity and are relatively new methods of obtaining electrical power that businesses may not adopt at levels sufficient to grow this part of
our business. Traditional electricity distribution is based on the regulated industry model whereby businesses and consumers obtain their electricity from a government regulated utility. For
alternative methods of distributed power to succeed, businesses and consumers must adopt new purchasing practices and must be willing to rely upon less traditional means of purchasing electricity. We
cannot assure you that businesses and consumers will choose to utilize on-site distributed power at levels sufficient to sustain our business in this area. The development of a mass market
for our products may be impacted by many factors which are out of our control, including:
-
-
market acceptance of fuel cell, photovoltaic and wind turbine systems that incorporate our products;
-
-
the cost competitiveness of these systems;
-
-
regulatory requirements; and
-
-
the emergence of newer, more competitive technologies and products.
15
Table of Contents
If a mass market fails to develop or develops more slowly than we anticipate, we may be unable to recover the losses we will have incurred to develop these
products.
Our quarterly operating results are subject to fluctuations, and if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our share price may decrease
significantly.
Our annual and quarterly results may vary significantly depending on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. Because our
operating expenses are based on anticipated revenue levels, our sales cycle for development work is relatively long and a high percentage of our expenses are fixed for the short term, a small
variation in the timing of recognition of revenue can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. If our earnings do not meet the expectations of securities analysts or
investors, the price of our stock could decline.
Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law may delay, deter or prevent the acquisition of Satcon, which could decrease the value of your shares.
Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of Satcon or a change in
our management that you, as a stockholder, may consider favorable. These provisions include:
-
-
authorizing the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to increase the
number of outstanding shares and deter a takeover attempt;
-
-
a board of directors with staggered, three-year terms, which may lengthen the time required to gain control of
our board of directors;
-
-
prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of
stockholders to elect director candidates; and
-
-
limitations on who may call special meetings of stockholders.
In
addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and provisions in some of our stock incentive plans may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of Satcon.
Those provisions serve to limit the circumstances in which a premium may be paid for our common stock in proposed transactions, or where a proxy contest for control of our board may be initiated. If a
change of control or change in management is delayed, deterred or prevented, the market price of our common stock could suffer.
We are subject to stringent export laws and risks inherent in international operations.
We market and sell our products and services both inside and outside the United States. We are currently selling our products and
services throughout North America and in certain countries in South America, Asia and Europe. Certain of our products are subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) 22 U.S.C 2778,
which restricts the export of information and material that may be used for military or intelligence applications by a foreign person. Additionally, certain products of ours are subject to export
regulations administered by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry Security, which require that we obtain an export license before we can export certain products or technology. Failure to
comply with these laws could result in enforcement responses by the government, including substantial monetary penalties, denial of export privileges, debarment from government contracts and possible
criminal sanctions.
Revenue
from sales to our international customers for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $13.0 million, $7.9 million and
$6.6 million, respectively. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to expand our market for our products and services to foreign customers and our ability to manufacture products that
meet foreign regulatory and commercial
16
Table of Contents
requirements.
We have limited experience developing and manufacturing our products to comply with the commercial and legal requirements of international markets. We face numerous challenges in
penetrating international markets, including unforeseen changes in regulatory requirements, export restrictions, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, longer accounts receivable cycles,
difficulties in managing international operations, and the challenges of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws.
We are exposed to credit risks with respect to some of our customers
.
To
the extent our customers do not advance us sufficient funds to finance our costs during the execution phase of our contracts, we are exposed to the risk
that they will be unable to accept delivery or that they will be unable to make payment at the time of delivery. Occasionally, we accept the risk of dealing with thinly financed entities. In addition,
the parent of one of our customers has filed for bankruptcy. To date, we have never received any orders from this customer but there can be no assurance that the bankruptcy filing will not impact the
availability of credit to that customer or the submission of potential orders to us. We attempt to mitigate this risk by seeking to negotiate more timely progress payments and utilizing other risk
management procedures.
Our loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank subjects us to various restrictions, which may limit our ability to pursue business opportunities
.
Our
loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank subjects us to various restrictions on our ability to engage in certain activities without the prior written
consent of the bank, including, among other things, our ability to:
-
-
dispose of or encumber assets, other than in the ordinary course of business,
-
-
incur additional indebtedness,
-
-
merge or consolidate with other entities, or acquire other businesses, and
-
-
make investments
The
agreement also subjects us to various financial and other covenants with which we must comply on an ongoing or periodic basis. The financial covenant requires us to maintain a
minimum level of tangible net worth, as defined, which varies from month to month. If we violate this or any other covenant, any outstanding debt under this agreement could become immediately due and
payable, the bank could proceed against any collateral securing indebtedness and our ability to borrow funds in the future may be restricted or eliminated. These restrictions may also limit our
ability to pursue business opportunities or strategies that we would otherwise consider to be in the best interests of the Company.
The holders of our certain of our outstanding warrants have the right to put those warrants to us for cash if we issue common stock or common stock equivalents at a price
per share less than $1.65
.
As
of February 28, 2010, we had outstanding Warrant As to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,005,911 shares of common stock and Warrant Cs to purchase up
to an aggregate of 946,971shares of common stock. The holder of those warrants may put those warrants to us for a cash amount equal to their Black-Scholes value if we issue common stock or common
stock equivalents at a price per share less than $1.65, subject to certain exceptions. These rights are exercisable for the 45-day period following any such issuance. The existence of
these rights could limit our ability to raise necessary capital in the future. Furthermore, the exercise of these rights could materially impact our capital resources and materially affect our ability
to fund operations.

Risks Related to Our Private Placement of Series C Preferred Stock and Related Warrants
The holders of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive liquidation payments in preference to the holders of our common stock.
As of February 28, 2010, 25,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock were outstanding. Upon a liquidation of our
company, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a liquidation payment prior to the payment of any amount with respect to the shares of our common stock. The
amount of this preferential liquidation payment is the greater of (i) $1,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock, plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on those shares,
or (ii) the amount per share that a holder would have received if, immediately prior to the liquidation, that holder's share had been converted to our common stock. Dividends accrue on the
shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a rate of 5% per annum. Because of the substantial liquidation preference to which the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled, the
amount available to be distributed to the holders of our common stock upon a liquidation of our company could be substantially limited or reduced to zero.
We are responsible for having the resale of shares of common stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock and related warrants registered with the SEC within defined
time periods and will incur liquidated damages if the shares are not registered with the SEC within those defined time periods
.
Pursuant
to our agreement with the investors in the Series C Preferred Stock financing transaction, we were obligated to (i) file a
registration statement covering the resale of the common stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock and related warrants with the SEC by the earlier of (x) five business days after we
filed our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and (y) April 7, 2008 (which we satisfied), (ii) use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to be
declared effective within 60 days following the required filing date (which we satisfied), and are required to (iii) use our best efforts to keep the registration statement effective
until the earlier of (x) the date all of the securities covered by the registration statement have been publicly sold and (y) the date all of the securities covered by the registration
statement may be sold without restriction under SEC Rule 144. If we fail to comply with these or certain other provisions, then we will be required to pay liquidated damages of one twentieth of
a percent (.05%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by the investors for the securities that can be registered on the registration statement for each day the failure continues. The total liquidated
damages under this provision are capped at 9.9% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the investors in the private placement. Any such payments could materially affect our ability to fund
operations.
The certificate of designation governing the Series C Preferred Stock contains various covenants and restrictions which may limit our ability to operate our
business
.
Under
the certificate of designation governing the Series C Preferred Stock we are not permitted, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the
holders of 50% of the Series C Preferred Stock, directly or indirectly, to take any of the following actions or agree to take any of the following actions:
-
-
authorize, create or issue any shares of preferred stock or other equity securities ranking senior to or on a parity with
the Series C Preferred Stock;
-
-
increase or decrease the total number of authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock;
-
-
amend or modify our certificate of incorporation (including the certificate of designation governing the Series C
Preferred Stock) or bylaws that would adversely affect the rights, preferences, powers and privileges of the Series C Preferred Stock;
-
-
incur any form of indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate (other than indebtedness
existing at November 8, 2007);
18
Table of Contents
-
-
repurchase or redeem any equity securities ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock, subject to certain
exceptions;
-
-
effect any distribution or declare, pay or set aside any dividend with respect to any equity securities ranking junior to
the Series C Preferred Stock;
-
-
effect a liquidation, consummate a reorganization event or dispose, transfer or license any material assets, technology or
intellectual property, other than non-exclusive licenses in connection with sales of our products in the ordinary course of business;
-
-
change the size of our board of directors;
-
-
encumber or grant a security interest in all or substantially all or a material part of our assets except to secure
indebtedness permitted above that is approved by our board of directors;
-
-
acquire a material amount of assets of another entity, through a merger, purchase of assets or purchase of capital stock
or otherwise; or
-
-
enter into any agreement to do or cause to be done any of the foregoing.
These
restrictions could limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions or meet extraordinary capital needs or otherwise restrict corporate activities, any of which could have a material
adverse impact on our business.
The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will have substantial voting power on matters submitted to a vote of stockholders
.
Generally,
the holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters on which the holders of our common stock are entitled to vote,
voting together with the holders of our common stock as a single class. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to 694 votes. Based on 71,001,440 shares of common stock outstanding
as of February 28, 2010, the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock represent, in the aggregate, 19.6% of the voting power of our stock. The voting percentage held by the
investors would increase to the extent the shares of Series C Preferred Stock are converted or the warrants issued in the private placement are exercised. Because the investors will own a
significant percentage of our voting power, they may have considerable influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our stockholders for approval,
including the election of directors and approval of merger, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
In
addition, the ownership by the investors of a substantial percentage of our total voting power and the terms of the Series C convertible preferred stock could make it more
difficult and expensive for a third party to pursue a change of control of our company, even if a change of control would generally be beneficial to our stockholders.
The Series C Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holders under certain circumstances
.
On
or after November 8, 2011, the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock may require us to
redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The redemption price is equal to 120% of the stated liquidation preference amount, to the extent that the
redemption is made in cash, or 140% of the stated liquidation preference amount to the extent that, at our election, the redemption is made in shares of our common stock. If the redemption is made in
shares of common stock, the shares will be based on the fair market value of the common stock, based on a 10 day volume weighted average, as of the redemption date. Depending on our cash
resources at the time that this redemption right is exercised, we may or may not be able to fund the redemption from our available cash resources. If we were unable to fund the redemption from
available cash we would need to find an alternative source of financing to do so. The can be no
19
Table of Contents
assurances
that we would be able to raise such funds if they are required. If we were not able to finance the redemption in cash, we would have to make the redemption payment in shares of our common
stock which would be dilutive to our common stockholders.
The investors in our private placement of Series C Preferred Stock will have the right to designate up to four individuals to be elected to our board of
directors
.
In
the purchase agreement, we agreed that for as long as each investor beneficially owns at least 25% of the Series C Preferred Stock and warrants
issued to them in the private placement, each investor would be entitled to designate one individual to be nominated to our board of directors. We also agreed that as long as either investor or both
investors beneficially owns at least 25% of the Series C Preferred Stock and warrants issued to them in the private placement, we would include one investor designee in the corporate governance
and nominating committee and one investor designee on the compensation committee of our board of directors. Upon the first closing, our board of directors elected Philip J. Deutch, as the designee of
NGP Energy Technology Partners, L.P., and David J. Prend, as the designee of RockPort Capital Partners II, L.P., to serve on our board.
Upon
the second closing, as required under the purchase agreement, our board of directors was reduced from nine directors to seven directors, and the investors jointly had the right to
designate one additional director who is "independent" (as that term is defined in the regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market) to serve as a director. Accordingly, effective as of the second closing,
three existing directors resigned and the board duly appointed Robert G. Schoenberger, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Unitil Corporation, as the investors' additional independent
designee. However, in the event the size of our board of directors is increased to nine members in order to comply with Nasdaq rules, the investors will be entitled to designate an additional
independent director.
The
number of investor designees will be appropriately adjusted to the extent required by the applicable rules of Nasdaq.
Because
the holders of Series C Preferred Stock will have the right to designate these members to our board of directors, as well as designees to serve on our board committees,
they will be able to exert considerable influence over the board level decision-making at our company.
The Series C Preferred Stock private placement had a substantial dilutive effect on our common stock, and subsequent anti-dilution adjustments could
increase the dilutive effect
.
Consummation
of the private placement had a substantial dilutive effect on our common stockholders. The aggregate number of shares issued pursuant to the
private placement substantially increased the number of shares of our capital stock outstanding on an as converted basis. As a result, the percentage ownership of our common stockholders significantly
declined as a result of the private placement. As a result of the private placement, the investors own approximately 46.77% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock, on an as converted basis
assuming conversion of all the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and exercise of all warrants (excluding the additional warrants that may be issued from time to time upon the exercise of
certain existing warrants).
Furthermore,
the anti-dilution protection provided to both the Series C Preferred stock and the warrants could substantially increase the number of shares of our
common stock currently outstanding. Upon a dilutive issuance, the conversion price or exercise price will be adjusted down and the number of shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of the
Series C Preferred Stock and warrants will increase. Accordingly, if any shares of our capital stock are issued below the current conversion price, there will be additional dilution.
Finally,
sales in the public market of the common stock acquired upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or exercise of the warrants, or the perception that such sales
could occur, could
20

adversely
affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise funds in additional stock financings.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including, without limitations, this Item 7, contains or incorporates
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934. You can identify these forward-looking
statements by our use of the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "may," "will," "intends," "estimates," and similar expressions, whether in the negative or in the affirmative.
Although we believe that these forward-looking statements reasonably reflect our plans, intentions and expectations, our actual results could differ materially from the plans, intentions and
expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements under the heading "Risk Factors" under Item 1A above that we
believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report speak only as of the date of
this report. Subsequent events or circumstances occurring after such date may render these statements incomplete or out of date. We undertake no obligation and expressly disclaim any duty to update
such statements.
Overview
We are a world leading technology provider of utility grade power conversion solutions for the renewable energy market. Our products
feature the widest range of power ratings in the industry, and are utilized by businesses and utility companies to efficiently convert renewable energy sources into stable and reliable electrical
power.
Our
suite of photovoltaic and fuel cell power inverters offer rugged and reliable solutions that enhance the total output and power production of a solar installation. We also offer
system design services and solutions for management, monitoring, and performance measurement to maximize capital investment and improve overall quality and performance over the entire lifespan of an
installation.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations are based on our consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires
management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition,
receivable reserves, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, contract losses and income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting estimates were discussed with our Audit Committee.
The
significant accounting policies that management believes are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from product sales in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,
Revenue Recognition
. Product
revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an
25
Table of Contents
arrangement,
the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery of the product to the customer has occurred and we have determined that collection of the fee is probable. Title to the product passes upon
shipment of the product, as the products are typically shipped FOB shipping point, except for certain foreign shipments. If the product requires installation to be performed by us, all revenue related
to the product is deferred and recognized upon the completion of the installation. If the product requires specific customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance occurs or the
acceptance provisions lapse, unless we can objectively and reliably demonstrate that the criteria specified in the acceptance provisions are satisfied. When appropriate, we provide for a warranty
reserve at the time the product revenue is recognized. If a contract involves the provisions of multiple elements and the elements qualify for separation, total estimated contact revenue is allocated
to each element based on the relative fair value of each element provided. The amount of revenue allocated to each element is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of another
element in the future. Revenue is recognized on each element as described above.
We
perform funded research and development and product development for commercial companies and government agencies under both cost reimbursement and fixed-price contracts through our
discontinued Applied Technology division and through our engineering group. Cost reimbursement contracts provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs and, in some situations, the payment of a fee.
These contracts may contain incentive clauses providing for increases or decreases in the fee depending on how costs compare with a budget. On fixed-price contracts, revenue is generally recognized on
the percentage of completion method based upon the proportion of costs incurred to the total estimated costs for the contract. Revenue from reimbursement contracts is recognized as services are
performed. In each type of contract, we receive periodic progress payments or payment upon reaching interim milestones and retain the rights to the intellectual property developed in government
contracts. All payments to us for work performed on contracts with agencies of the U.S. government are subject to audit and adjustment by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. Adjustments are recognized
in the period made. The Defense Contract Audit Agency has agreed-upon the final indirect cost rates for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. When the current estimates of total
contract revenue and contract costs for product development contracts indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, we have
accrued approximately $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for anticipated contract losses on commercial contracts. For the year ended December 31, 2009 there have been no
provisions for anticipated contract losses on commercial contracts. With the sale of Applied Technology subsidiary we expect revenue from
the percentage of completion type contracts or from cost reimbursement contracts in future periods to be nominal.
Cost
of product revenue includes material, labor and overhead. Costs incurred in connection with funded research and development and other revenue arrangements are included in funded
research and development and other revenue expenses.
Deferred
revenue consists of payments received from customers in advance of services performed, product shipped or installation completed. When an item is deferred for revenue
recognition purposes, the deferred revenue is recorded as a liability and the deferred costs are recorded as a component of inventory in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue also consists
of cash received for extended product warranties.
Unbilled
contract costs and fees represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed due to contractual provisions or deferred costs that have not yet been recognized as revenue or
billed to the customer.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The estimated allowance for
uncollectible amounts is based primarily on a specific analysis

accounts in the receivable portfolio and historical write-off experience. While management believes the allowance to be adequate, if the financial condition of our customers were to
deteriorate, resulting in impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Inventory
We value our inventory at the lower of actual cost to purchase and/or manufacture the inventory or the current estimated market value
of the inventory, and costs are
determined based on the first-in, first-out method of accounting and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. We periodically review inventory quantities on
hand and record a provision for excess and/or obsolete inventory within cost of sales based primarily on our historical usage, as well as based on estimated forecast of product demand. A significant
decrease in demand for our products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases and an increase of excess inventory quantities on hand. In addition, our
industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product development, and rapid product obsolescence that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory
quantities on hand. Therefore, although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological
developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and our reported operating results.
Warranty
We offer warranty coverage for our products for periods typically ranging from 1 to 5 years after shipment. We estimate the
anticipated costs of repairing products under warranty based on the historical or expected cost of the repairs and expected failure rates. The assumptions used to estimate warranty accruals are
reevaluated quarterly, at a minimum, in light of actual experience and, when appropriate, the accruals or the accrual percentage is adjusted based on specific estimates of project repair costs and
quantity of product returns. Our determination of the appropriate level of warranty accrual is based on estimates of the percentage of units affected and the repair costs. Estimated warranty costs are
recorded at the time of sale of the related product, and are recorded within cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
Convertible Debt Instruments and Warrant Liabilities
We accounted for our senior secured convertible notes (the "Convertible Notes"), which were paid off on November 7, 2007, and
associated warrants as a hybrid instrument. The Convertible Notes included features that qualify as embedded derivatives, such as (i) the holders' conversion option, (ii) our option to
settle the Convertible Notes at the scheduled dates in cash or shares of our common stock and (iii) premiums and penalties we would be liable to pay in the event of default. We irrevocably
elected, as of January 1, 2007, to measure the Convertible Notes in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either gain or loss. Subsequent to the
pay-off of the Convertible Notes, we will continue to account for the associated warrants as described above.
We
recorded interest expense under the Convertible Notes based on the greater of (i) 7% or (ii) the six-month LIBOR, in effect at the time plus 350 basis
points, as well as the amortization of the debt discount, which we computed using the effective interest method. The debt discount represents the difference between our gross proceeds of
$12.0 million and the fair value of the
convertible debt upon issuance, after separately valuing the investor warrants, the placement agent warrants and the Convertible Notes on a relative fair value basis. By amortizing the debt discount
to interest expense, rather than recognizing it as a change in fair value of the Convertible debt instrument and warrants, which is a separate line item in our statement of operations, we believe our
interest expense line item more appropriately reflects the cost of the debt associated with the Convertible Notes.
27
Table of Contents
We
determined the fair values of the Convertible Notes, investor warrants and placement agent warrants using valuation models we consider to be appropriate. Our stock price has the most
significant influence on the fair value of the Convertible Notes and related warrants. An increase in our common stock price would cause the fair values of both the Convertible Notes and warrants to
increase, because the conversion and exercise prices, respectively, of such instruments are fixed at $1.65 and $1.815 per share, respectively, and result in a charge to our statement of operations. A
decrease in our stock price would likewise cause the fair value of the Convertible Notes and the warrants to decrease and result in a credit to our statement of operations. If the price of our common
stock were to decline significantly, however, the decrease in the fair value of the Convertible Notes would be limited by the instrument's debt characteristics. Under such circumstances, our estimated
cost of capital would become another significant variable affecting the fair value of the Convertible Notes.
Income Taxes
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which
we operate, including those outside the United States, which may be subject to certain risks that ordinarily would not be expected in the United States. The income tax accounting process involves
estimating our actual current exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These
differences result in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. We must then record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to
be realized.
Significant
management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred
tax assets. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of approximately $57.4 million as of December 31, 2009, due to uncertainties related to our
ability to utilize these assets. The valuation allowance is based on our estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be
recoverable. In the event that actual results differ
from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods we may need to adjust our valuation allowance which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.
We
account for income taxes utilizing asset and liability method for accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are
recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. In addition, we are required to establish a valuation
allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The
tax years 1994 through 2009 remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject, which are primarily in the United States, as carry forward attributes
generated in years past may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities if they are or will be used in a future period. We are currently not under
examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction for any tax years. We did not recognize any interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying
financial statements. We would record any such interest and penalties as a component of interest expense. We do not expect any material changes to the unrecognized benefits within 12 months of
the reporting date.
Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock
We initially accounted for our Series B Preferred Stock and associated warrants by allocating the proceeds received net of
transaction costs based on the relative fair value of the redeemable convertible Series B Preferred Stock and the warrants issued to the investors, and then to any beneficial conversion
28
Table of Contents
rights
contained in the convertible redeemable preferred securities. We determined the initial value of the Series B Preferred Stock and investor warrants using valuation models we consider to
be appropriate. The Series B Preferred Stock is classified within the liability section of our balance sheet. To the extent that the Series B Preferred Stock is subject to a
remeasurement event, or is otherwise modified, the Series B Preferred Stock will be reclassified to temporary equity.
Redeemable Convertible Series C Preferred Stock
We initially accounted for our issuance of Series C Preferred Stock and associated warrants by allocating the proceeds received
net of transaction costs based on the relative fair value of the redeemable convertible Series C Preferred Stock and the warrants issued to the investors, and then to any beneficial conversion
rights contained in the convertible redeemable preferred securities and classifying the Series C Preferred Stock as temporary equity on the balance sheet between the captions for liabilities
and permanent shareholder's equity. We determined the initial value of the Series C Preferred Stock and investor warrants using valuation models we consider to be appropriate.
The
re-pricing of the exercise price of the first tranche warrants from $1.44 to $1.25, as described in the footnotes to the financial statements, was treated as a
cancellation of the original warrants issued on November 8, 2007 and a re-issuance or new warrants on December 21, 2007. The difference in fair value of the warrant was
included in the allocation of net proceeds associated with the second closing of the Series C Preferred Stock on December 21, 2007. We treated this as a deemed dividend on the
Series C Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2007 we recorded $11,947,881 as a deemed dividend to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, which included the beneficial
conversion feature of $11,762,887 and $184,994 related to the accretion of the Series C Preferred Stock to its redemption value through the date that the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock may first exercise their redemption right. We are using the effective interest method to accrete the carrying value of the Series C Preferred stock through November 8,
2011, at which time the value of the Series C Preferred Stock would be $30.0 million, 120% of its face value.

Alternative
Energy Product revenue decreased by $4.5 million, or 9%, from $52.2 million in 2008 to $47.7 million in 2009. This decrease was driven by the challenging
macroeconomic market conditions and tough credit markets which affect our customers' ability to fund large scale renewable energy projects. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our
legacy power products offerings of $2.7 million, or 129%, due to the recognition of revenue on previously delivered legacy products in the early part of 2009. We expect legacy product revenue
to decline as we continue to focus efforts on our renewable energy solutions.
Gross Margin.
Total Company gross margin decreased from 15.6% in 2008 to 6.1% in 2009 due to lower volumes during the period and
transition costs
associated with expanding our manufacturing and supply chain internationally while maintaining existing capacity in North America. This global capacity expansion and low cost supply chain are crucial
to our long term competitiveness, and were partially offset by material cost reductions and labor efficiency improvements in both factories. In addition, the $4.2 million of deferred frequency
converter revenues recognized during 2009 had no gross margin as the amount recognized as revenue equaled the related costs recognized for the period.
Research and development expenses.
We expended approximately $8.4 million on research and development in 2009 compared with
$5.1 million spent in 2008. The increase in spending during 2009 was driven by a planned increase in costs associated with certification of our new products and continued new product
development, including increases in our technical staffing. These additional resources are developing the new products, features and customer solutions which we believe will allow us to take advantage
of both short-term and long-term market opportunities. This investment in research and development is critical to both our current and future success and we anticipate this
level of investment to continue.
Selling, general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $3.6 million
from
$14.6 million in 2008 to $18.2 million in 2009. Approximately $0.9 million of the increase is directly attributable to compensation costs related to the issuance of stock options
to our employees and directors charged to operations. Approximately $3.3 million of the increase was due to the higher sales and marketing costs related to international business development
expansion into Europe and Asia, company re-branding and our increased outbound marketing efforts in 2009 compared to 2008. This was partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in
general corporate costs.
Restructuring costs.
In August 2009, we eliminated certain positions within our operations and sales organizations in accordance with a
plan of
reorganization approved by the Board of Directors. As a result of the 2009 restructuring we recorded approximately $0.3 million in payroll and related costs for 2009. As of December 31,
2009 approximately $38,000 remains to be paid to the terminated employees. None of the terminated employees were required to provide any services subsequent to their receiving notification.
30
Table of Contents
In
2008, we initiated and completed the sale of the Electronics and Power Systems US operating divisions and formalized the release of personnel. As a result of these changes and the
sale of the divisions in 2008, we accrued approximately $0.5 million in salary-related costs, costs associated with the modification of existing options held by certain of the severed employees
and relocation costs. Other costs associated with the restructuring that are related to the Electronics and Power Systems US divisions were recorded in their respective divisions
and
are included in the loss from discontinued operations for the periods presented, as discussed below, in loss from discontinued operations.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities.
The change in fair value of the warrants for 2009 was a charge of approximately
$5.7 million.
Approximately $2.5 million related to the change in valuation of our Warrant As, Warrant Cs and placement agent warrants. The remaining $3.2 million charge related to our Series C
Preferred Stock warrants and their change in fair value which was due to our adoption during the period of ASC 815-40-15. As a result of this adoption, warrants to purchase
19,799,022 shares of our common stock, originally classified as equity, were reclassified to warrant liabilities and were required to be fair valued moving forward. The change in fair value of the
warrants for 2008 was a credit of approximately $0.3 million related solely to the Warrant As and Warrant Cs. In July 2009 warrants to purchase 19,799,022 shares of our common stock were
modified resulting in these warrants being classified as equity and therefore not requiring any fair value adjustments in the future. See Note C.
Significant Accounting
Policies and Basis of PresentationWarrant Liabilities
for a description of the modifications made to such warrants. The most significant factor that contributes to
the change in fair value of the warrants is our stock price (See Note G
Convertible Debt Instrument and Warrant Liabilities
).
Other Income (expense).
Other expense was approximately $0.3 million for 2009 compared to other income of approximately
$0.7 million
for 2008. Other expense for 2009 consists primarily of approximately $0.5 million related to the issuance of warrants to purchase 380,000 shares of common stock to holders of our
Series C Preferred Stock for modifying the anti-dilution provisions of their existing warrants along with $0.1 million in fees paid related to consulting services for the
valuation of our warrant instruments as well as other expenses not related to ongoing operations, offset by approximately $0.5 million related to foreign exchange impact of operations and
translation of inter-company balances. Other income, net for 2008 consists primarily of approximately $0.7 million related to foreign exchange impact of operations and translation of
inter-company balances.
Interest income.
Interest income decreased from approximately $0.2 million in 2008 to approximately $0 million in 2009. The
decrease is
directly attributable to our cash on hand and interest rates.
Interest expense.
Interest expense for 2009 was approximately $0.3 million, which is comprised primarily of the
following:
-
-
$0.2 million in cash interest relating to our credit facility and
-
-
$0.1 million of non-cash interest associated with dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock,
which were paid in shares of common stock.
In
2008 interest expense was approximately $0.3 million and was comprised of the following:
-
-
$0.2 million in cash interest relating to our credit facility and
-
-
$0.1 million of non-cash interest associated with dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock,
which were paid in shares of common stock.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations.
Loss from discontinued operations represents the results of operations of our Applied
Technology, Power
Systems US and Electronics divisions. Our Applied Technology division was sold in January 2010 and our Electronics and Power Systems US divisions were sold during the third quarter of 2008. The income
from discontinued operations for 2009 was approximately $0.1 million as compared to a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $1.9 million in 2008. See Note D
"Discontinued Operations" for more information related to the sale of these divisions.
Gain on sale of discontinued operations.
As a result of the sale of the Power Systems US and Electronics divisions in 2008, we recorded
income of
approximately $0.3 million. See Note D "Discontinued Operations" for more information related to the sale of these divisions and the composition of the net gain calculated for each
division. The gain on the sale of our Applied Technology division will be recorded during our first quarter ended March 31, 2010 and is anticipated to be a gain of approximately
$0.5 million.
Deferred Revenue.
Total deferred revenue was $6.0 million at December 31, 2009, comprised of $0.5 million
of current deferred revenue and $5.5 million of long-term deferred revenue, a decrease of $0.7 million from the $6.7 million balance at December 31, 2008. We
record deferred revenue (i) when a customer pays in advance or (ii) when provisions for revenue recognition on items shipped have not been achieved or the items have not yet been
received by the customer due to shipping terms such as FOB destination. When an item is deferred for revenue recognition purposes, the deferred revenue is recorded as a liability and the deferred
costs are recorded as a component of inventory in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue also consists of cash received for extended product warranties. Currently deferred revenue is
composed of approximately $6.0 million, $0.4 million related to pre-payments on orders currently being manufactured and $5.6 million on deferred revenue related to
extended warranties sold to customers that purchased our products.
Year Ended December 31, 2008 ("2008") Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2007 ("2007").
Revenue.
Total Company revenue increased $21.3 million, or 65%, from $33.0 million in 2007 to $54.3 million in 2008.

Product
revenue increased by $21.3 million, or 65%, from $33.0 million in 2007 to $54.3 million in 2008. This was driven by the commercial adoption of our utility
grade inverters, resulting in an annual increase of $26.8 million, or 106%. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in our legacy power products offerings of $5.5 million, or
72%, as we continue to focus efforts on our renewable energy solutions.
Gross Margin.
Gross margins increased from (1.3)% in 2007 to approximately 15.6% in 2008 due to
material cost reduction programs, increased labor efficiency and increased photovoltaic inverter unit volumes. In 2007, gross margins included an additional $1.3 million in cost overruns on a
Navy project, for which we are seeking some economic relief due to design changes, increases in major component costs and increases in anticipated exchange rates; we have not booked any benefit for
such relief as of December 31, 2008 or 2007.
32
Table of Contents
Research and development expenses.
We expended approximately $5.1 million on research and development in 2008 compared with
$2.3 million spent in 2007. The increase in spending during 2008 was driven by an increase in technical staffing. These additional resources are developing the new products, features and
customer solutions which we believe will allow us to take advantage of both short-term and long-term market opportunities. This investment in research and development is
critical to both our current and future success and we anticipate this level of investment to continue.
Selling, general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $6.6 million
from
$8.0 million in 2007 to $14.6 million in 2008. Approximately $1.1 million of the increase is directly attributable to compensation costs related to the issuance of stock options
to our employees and directors charged to operations during 2008. Approximately $2.3 million of the increase was associated with increased corporate costs and approximately $3.2 million
of the increase was due to the higher sales and marketing costs directly related to the increase in product revenue, international business development, company re-branding and our
increased outbound marketing efforts in 2008 compared to 2007.
Restructuring costs.
In 2008 we successfully executed a restructuring of our company. In connection with the restructuring, we
eliminated the
positions of the presidents of the Applied Technology and Renewable Energy Solutions divisions, formalized the release of our Vice President of Finance and former Chief Executive Officer. In addition,
we completed the sale of our Electronics and Power Systems US divisions. As a result of these significant changes in 2008, we recorded a charge of approximately $1.4 million in salary-related
costs and costs associated with the modification of existing options held by certain of the severed employees. The cash component of this severance will be paid out over the next 12 months.
Other costs associated with the restructuring that were related to the Electronics and Power Systems US divisions were recorded in the respective divisions and are included in the loss from
discontinued operations for the periods presented, as discussed below. During 2007 we recorded approximately $0.1 million in restructuring costs associated with the 2006 restructuring of one of
our business units.
Change in fair value of the convertible notes and related warrants.
The change in fair value of the convertible Notes and warrants for
2008 was a
credit of approximately $0.3 million. The change in fair value of the convertible notes and warrants for 2007 was a charge of approximately $2.3 million. The most significant factor that
contributes to the change in fair value of the convertible notes and related warrants is our stock price. The convertible notes were paid off in November 2007. (See
Note G
Convertible Debt Instrument and Warrant Liabilities
)
Other Income (expense).
Other income was approximately $0.7 million for 2008 compared to other expense of approximately
$0.5 million
for 2007. Other income, net for 2008 consists primarily of approximately $0.7 million related to foreign exchange impact of operations and translation of inter-company balances. Other expense
for 2007 consists primarily of a gain of approximately $0.4 million related to foreign exchange impact of operations and translation of inter-company balances and $0.1 million in
consulting services related to the valuation of our Convertible Notes and other expenses not related to ongoing operations.
Interest income.
Interest income decreased slightly from approximately $0.3 million in 2007 to approximately $0.2 million in
2008. The
decrease is directly attributable to our cash on hand.
Interest expense.
Interest expense for 2008 was approximately $0.3 million, which is comprised primarily of the
following:
-
-
$0.2 million in cash interest relating to our credit facility and
-
-
$0.1 million of non-cash interest associated with dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock,
which were paid in shares of common stock.
33
Table of Contents
In
2007 interest expense was approximately $3.8 million and was comprised of the following:
-
-
$0.7 million in non-cash interest related to the Convertible Notes, which was paid in shares of common
stock,
-
-
$0.1 million in cash interest paid related to the Convertible Notes,
-
-
$0.2 million paid related to the short-term notes issued in November 2007, which were repaid in full on
December 20, 2007,
-
-
$2.1 million in amortization of the debt discount related to the valuation of the Convertible Notes,
-
-
$0.1 million of non-cash interest associated with dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock,
which were paid in shares of common stock, and
-
-
$0.6 million related to the change in the Series B Preferred Stock conversion price as a result of
subsequent issuances of equity-based securities due to its anti-dilution provisions.
Loss from discontinued operations.
Loss from discontinued operations represents the results of operations of our Applied Technology,
Power Systems US
and Electronics divisions. The loss from discontinued operations for 2008 was approximately $1.9 million as compared to approximately $0.8 million in 2007. See Note D
"Discontinued Operations" for more information related to the sale of these divisions.
Gain on sale of discontinued operations.
As a result of the sale of the Power Systems US and Electronics divisions in 2008, we recorded
income of
approximately $0.3 million. See Note D "Discontinued Operations" for more information related to the sale of these divisions and the composition of the net gain calculated for each
division.
Deferred Revenue.
Total deferred revenue was $6.7 million at December 31, 2008, comprised of $4.2 million of current
deferred
revenue and $2.5 million of long-term deferred revenue, a decrease of $1.0 million from the $7.7 million balance at December 31, 2007. We record deferred
revenue (i) when a customer pays in advance or (ii) when provisions for revenue recognition on items shipped have not been achieved or the items have not yet been received by the
customer due to shipping terms such as FOB destination. When an item is deferred for revenue recognition purposes, the deferred revenue is recorded as a liability and the deferred costs are recorded
as a component of inventory in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue also consists of cash received for extended product warranties. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2008 is
composed of approximately $3.4 million related to pre-payments received on an order which has been shipped but not recognized, $0.8 million related to
pre-payments on orders currently being manufactured and $2.5 million on deferred revenue related to extended warranties sold to customers that purchased our products.
Quarterly Results of Operations (Unaudited)

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2009, we had $13.4 million of cash, of which approximately $34,000 was restricted. As of
December 31, 2009, $3.0 million is outstanding under our line of credit.
Based
upon our current working capital position, current operating plans and expected business conditions, we believe that our current cash, as well as the availability from our line of
credit with Silicon Valley Bank, will be adequate to fund our operations through December 31, 2010. Beyond 2010, we expect to fund our working capital needs and other commitments primarily
through our operating cash flow, which we expect to improve as our product costs continue to decrease and as our unit volumes grow. We also expect to rely on our credit facility to fund a portion of
our capital needs and other commitments. We have availability under our line of credit of $5.7 million as of January 31, 2010.
Our
funding plans for our working capital needs and other commitments may be adversely impacted if we fail to realize our underlying assumed levels of revenues and expenses, or if we
fail to remain in compliance with the covenants of our bank line. If either of those events occur, we may need to raise additional funds in order to sustain operations by selling equity or taking
other actions to conserve our
cash position, which could include selling of certain assets, delaying capital expenditures and incurring additional indebtedness, subject to the restrictions in the 2007 preferred stock financing and
in the credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. Such actions would likely require the consent of the Investors and/or Silicon Valley Bank, and there can be no assurance that such consents would be
given. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds if they are required.
If
additional funds are raised in the future through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced and our
stockholders will experience additional dilution. The terms of additional funding may also limit our operating and financial flexibility. There can be no assurance that additional financing of any
kind will be available to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Failure to obtain future funding when needed or on acceptable terms would materially, adversely affect our results of operations.
We
have incurred significant costs to develop our technologies and products. These costs have exceeded total revenue. As a result, we have incurred losses in each of the past five years.
As of December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $231.7 million. Since inception, we have financed our operations and met our capital expenditure requirements
primarily through the sale of private equity securities and convertible debt, public security offerings, borrowings under our lines of credit and capital equipment leases.
As
of December 31, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents were $13.4 million, including restricted cash and cash equivalents of $34,000; this represents an increase in our
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.4 million from the $10.0 million on hand at December 31, 2008. Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations for the
year ended December 31, 2009 was $14.7 million as compared to $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Cash used in operating activities from continuing
operations during the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily attributable to the net loss from continuing operations of approximately $29.9 million offset by non-cash
items such as the change in the fair value of our warrants, depreciation and amortization, deferred revenue, increases in allowances for uncollectible accounts and excess and obsolete inventory,
non-cash compensation and consulting expense, non-cash interest expense and decreases in working capital.
Cash
used in investing activities from continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $3.8 million as compared to cash provided by investing activities
from continuing operations of $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was a result of
capital expenditures of $3.8 million. Cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was a
36
Table of Contents
result
of net proceeds from the sale of two of our divisions of $5.1 million offset by capital expenditures of $1.4 million.
Cash
provided by financing activities from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $21.8 million as compared to $4.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2008. Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations during 2009 includes approximately $21.5 million related to the sale of common stock and
approximately $0.2 million received from the exercise of stock options and warrants. Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations during 2008 includes borrowings under
our line of credit of $3.0 million and approximately $1.7 million received from the exercise of stock options and warrants to purchase common stock, offset by approximately
$0.6 million related to payments to certain Warrant A and Warrant C holders that exercised their redemption rights under these warrants.
Cash
provided by discontinued operations was $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to cash used in discontinued operations of $2.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 2008. Net cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations was $0.6 million in 2009 compared to cash used in operating activities of
$1.7 million in 2008. Net cash used in investing activities from discontinued operations was $0.1 million in 2009 compared to $0.2 million in 2008. Net cash used in financing
activities from discontinued operations was $0 in 2009 and 2008.
Payments Due Under Contractual Obligations

and operating leases with non-cancelable terms are included in the table above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising
capital, incurring debt or operating parts of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements. We do not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not
consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or the availability of capital resources.
Effects of Inflation
We believe that inflation and changing prices over the past three years have not had a significant impact on our net revenue or on our
income from continuing operations.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about our market risk disclosures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially
from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial
instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates primarily through our investing and financing activities. In addition, our
ability to fund working capital requirements may be impacted if we are not able to obtain appropriate financing at acceptable rates.
Our
investing strategy, to manage interest rate exposure, is to invest in short-term, highly liquid investments. Our investment policy also requires investment in approved
instruments with an initial maximum allowable maturity of twelve months. Currently, our short-term investments are in money market funds with original maturities of 90 days or less.
At December 31, 2009, our short-term investments approximated market value.
At
December 31, 2009 we had a revolving line-of-credit available to us of up to $10.0 million, of which $3.0 million was outstanding. Our
revolving line-of-credit bears an interest rate of the Bank's prime rate plus 1%, which resulted in a rate of 5% at December 31, 2009.
The
effect of interest rate fluctuations on outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2009 over the next twelve months is quantified and summarized as follows:

Foreign Currency Risk
We face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates whenever we, or any of our subsidiaries, enter into transactions with
third parties that are denominated in currencies other than ours, or its, functional currency. Intercompany transactions between entities that use different functional currencies also expose us to
foreign currency risk. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the net impact of foreign currency changes on transactions was a gain of $0.3 million. We do not use derivative financial
instruments or other financial instruments to hedge such economic exposures.
38
Table of Contents
In
addition, because a substantial portion of our earnings is generated by our foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. Dollar (in which we report our
consolidated financial results), our earnings could be materially impacted by movements in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly that of the Canadian Dollar, upon the translation of the
earnings of such subsidiaries into the U.S. Dollar. Mitigating this risk is the fact that a majority of our sales in our Canadian subsidiary are denominated in US dollars and therefore not subject to
any movements in the exchange rate. If the U.S. Dollar had been uniformly stronger by 1%, 5% or 10%, compared to the actual average exchange rates used to translate the financial results of our
foreign subsidiaries, our net product sales revenue would not have been materially impacted. Since a majority of operating costs in our Canadian subsidiary are incurred in their local currency
movement in the exchange rate could impact our net income would have been impacted by approximately the following amounts:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Satcon Technology Corporation:
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Satcon Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) (a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 2009
and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and comprehensive loss and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2009,
2008 and 2007. We have also audited the financial statement schedule for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 listed in item 15 (2). We have also audited Satcon Technology
Corporation and its subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in
Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for
these financial statements and the financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Satcon Technology Corporation and
its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and its cash flows for each of the years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
41

America.
In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the item 15 (2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in
conjunction with the
related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, Satcon Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework
issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
As
discussed in Note C to the Consolidated Financial Statements, effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 815-40-15 and changed its
accounting for certain warrants.

SATCON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007
A. THE COMPANY
Satcon Technology Corporation (the "Company" or "Satcon") was organized as a Massachusetts corporation in February 1985 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1992. The Company is a leading
clean energy technology provider of utility grade power solutions for the renewable and distributed energy markets. The Company delivers power conversion solutions and system design services for
large-scale renewable energy plants. The Company's products are utilized by businesses and utility companies to efficiently convert renewable energy sources into stable and reliable electrical power.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
B. REALIZATION OF ASSETS AND LIQUIDITY
The Company anticipates that its current cash along with the availability under its credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank will be sufficient to fund its operations through at least
December 31, 2010. The Company has developed a business plan that envisions a significant increase in revenue and significant reductions in the cost structure and the cash burn rate from the
results experienced in the recent past and allow the Company to remain in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility. Although the Company believes it has developed a realistic business
plan, there is no assurance that it can achieve these objectives. Accordingly, if the Company is unable to realize its business plan or does not remain in compliance with the covenants of the credit
facility, the Company may need to raise additional funds in the future in order to sustain operations by selling equity or taking other actions to conserve its cash position, which could include
selling of certain assets and incurring additional indebtedness, subject to the restrictions in the 2007 preferred stock financing and in the credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. Such actions
would likely require the consent of the investors in that financing (the "Investors") and/or Silicon Valley Bank, and there can be no assurance that such consents would be given. Furthermore, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such funds if they are required.
C. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Satcon and its wholly owned subsidiary (Satcon Satcon Power Systems
Canada, Ltd., and its discontinued operating subsidiaries Satcon Applied Technology, Satcon Electronics, Inc. and Satcon Power Systems, Inc.). All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104,
Revenue Recognition
.
Product revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery of
the product to the customer has occurred and the Company has determined that collection of the fee is probable. Title to the product passes upon shipment of the product, as the products are typically
shipped FOB shipping point, except for certain foreign shipments. If the product requires installation to be performed by the Company, all revenue related to the product is deferred and recognized
upon the completion of the installation. If

the
product requires specific customer acceptance, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance occurs or the acceptance provisions lapse, unless the Company can objectively and reliably demonstrate
that the criteria specified in the acceptance provisions are satisfied. When appropriate the Company provides for a warranty reserve at the time the product revenue is recognized. If a contract
involves the provisions of multiple elements and the elements qualify for separation, total estimated contract revenue is allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of each element
provided. The amount of revenue allocated to each element is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of another element in the future. Revenue is recognized on each element as
described above.
The
Company performs funded research and development and product development for commercial companies and government agencies under both cost reimbursement and fixed-price contracts
through its discontinued Satcon Applied Technology division and through its engineering group. Product development revenue is included in product revenue. Cost reimbursement contracts provide for the
reimbursement of allowable costs and, in some situations, the payment of a fee. These contracts may contain incentive clauses providing for increases or decreases in the fees depending on how costs
compare with a budget. On fixed-price contracts, revenue is generally recognized on the percentage of completion method based upon the proportion of costs incurred to the total estimated costs for the
contract. Revenue from reimbursement contracts is recognized as the services are performed. In each type of contract, the Company receives periodic progress payments or payments upon reaching interim
milestones. All payments to the Company for work performed on contracts with agencies of the U.S.
government are subject to audit and adjustment by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. Adjustments are recognized in the period made. When the current estimates of total contract revenue for commercial
product development contracts indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded. As of December 31, 2009 the Company had no provision for contract losses on
commercial contracts. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has accrued approximately $1.1 million, respectively, for anticipated contract losses on commercial contracts. With the sale of
the Applied Technology subsidiary the Company expects revenues recognized in future periods on a percentage of completion method or from cost reimbursement contracts to be nominal.
Cost
of product revenue includes materials, labor and overhead.
Deferred
revenue primarily consists of cash received for extended product warranties, preventative maintenance plans and up-time guarantee programs. Deferred revenue also
consists of payments received from customers in advance of services performed, product shipped or installation completed. When an item is deferred for revenue recognition purposes, the deferred
revenue is recorded as a liability and the deferred costs are recorded as a component of inventory in the consolidated balance sheets.
Unbilled Contract Costs and Fees and Funded Research and Development Costs in Excess of Billings
Unbilled contract costs and fees represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed due to contractual provisions or deferred
costs that have not been recognized as revenue or billed to the customer.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired.
Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has restricted cash as indicated in the table below.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The estimated allowance for
uncollectible amounts is based primarily on a specific analysis of accounts in the receivable portfolio and historical write-off experience. While management believes the allowance to be
adequate, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and costs are determined based on the first-in, first-out
method of accounting and
include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company periodically reviews quantities of inventory on hand and compares these amounts to expected usage of each particular product or
product line. The Company records, as a charge to cost of sales, any amounts required to reduce the carrying value to net realizable value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over
the asset's estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Estimated Lives
|
Machinery and equipment
|
|
2 - 10 years

Furniture and fixtures

7 - 10 years
|

|
|

|
Leasehold improvements
|
|
Lesser of the remaining life of the lease
or the useful life of the improvement
|
When
assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in
operating expenses.

Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiary is its local currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are
translated at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while stockholders' equity (deficit) including the long-term portion of intercompany advances are translated at historical
rates. Statements of operations and cash flow amounts are translated at the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Foreign currency gains were as follows for years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007:

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles
ge
n
erally 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 revenue and expenses during the period reported. Management believes the most significant estimates include
the net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, warranty provisions, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the accrued contract losses on fixed-price contracts, the
recoverability of deferred tax assets and the fair value of equity and financial instruments. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method for accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under
this method, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using
statutory rates. In addition, the Company is required to establish a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The
Company is required to recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax
authorities. The amount recognized is the amount that represents the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized. A liability is recognized for any
benefit claimed, or expected to be claimed, in a tax return in excess of the benefit recorded in the financial statements, along with any interest and penalties (if applicable) on that excess. In
addition, the Company is required to provide a tabular reconciliation of the change in the aggregate unrecognized tax benefits claimed, or expected to
52
Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

be
claimed, in tax returns and disclosure relating to the accrued interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits. Discussion is also required for those uncertain tax positions where it is
reasonably possible that the estimate of the tax benefit will change significantly in the next twelve months.
As
of December 31, 2009, the Company had federal and state net operating losses ("NOL") carry forwards and federal and state R&D credit carry forwards, which may be
available to offset future federal and state income tax liabilities which expire at various dates through 2030. Utilization of the NOL and R&D credit carry forwards may be subject to a substantial
annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as well as
similar state and foreign provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOL and R&D credit carry forwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax,
respectively. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups in the stock of a
corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Since the Company's formation, the Company has raised capital
through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions (both pre and post initial public offering) which, combined with the purchasing shareholders' subsequent disposition of those shares, may
have resulted in a change of control, as defined by Section 382, or could result in a change of control in the future upon subsequent disposition. The Company has not currently completed a
study to assess whether a change of control has occurred or whether there have been multiple changes of control since the Company's formation due to the significant complexity and cost associated with
such study. If the Company has experienced a change of control at any time since Company formation, utilization of its NOL or R&D credit carry forwards would be subject to an annual limitation under
Section 382 which is determined by first multiplying the value of our stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate, and then
could be subject to additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL or R&D credit carry forwards before utilization. Further, until a study is
completed and any limitation known, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position. The Company does not expect to have any taxable income for the foreseeable future. The Company has a
full valuation allowance against the net operating losses and credits.
The
tax years 1994 through 2009 remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject, which are primarily in the United States, as carryforward
attributes generated in years past may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities if they are or will be used in a future period. The Company is
currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction for any tax years. The Company did not recognize any interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax
benefits in the accompanying financial statements. The Company would record any such interest and penalties as a component of interest expense. The Company does not expect any material changes to the
unrecognized benefits within 12 months of the reporting date.
Accounting for Stock-based Compensation
The Company has several stock-based employee compensation plans, as well as stock options issued outside of such plans as an inducement
to engage new executives. Stock-based compensation

cost
is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the service period.
The
Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model for valuing options. This model incorporates several assumptions, including volatility, expected life and discount rate. The Company
uses historical volatility as it believes it is more reflective of market conditions and a better indicator of volatility. The Company uses the simplified calculation of expected life for its
"plain-vanilla" option grants. The simplified method for "plain-vanilla" options calculates the expected life based on a preset formula
where the expected life is equal to the sum of vesting term of the option and the contractual term of the option divided by two. If the Company determines that another method used to estimate expected
volatility is more reasonable than the Company's current methods, or if another method for calculating these input assumptions is prescribed by authoritative guidance, the fair value calculated for
share-based awards could change significantly. Higher volatility and longer expected lives would result in an increase to share-based compensation determined at the date of grant.
The
Company recognized the full impact of its share-based payment plans in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and did not
capitalize any such costs on the consolidated balance sheets, as such costs that qualified for capitalization were not material. The following table presents share-based compensation expense included

Compensation
expense associated with the granting of stock options to employees is being recognized on a straight line basis over the service period of the option. In instances where the
actual compensation expense would be greater than that calculated using the straight line method, the actual compensation expense is recorded in that period.

During
the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company accelerated unvested options for two of its senior executives in connection with their departures. In addition, the Company
extended the time to exercise these options, normally ninety days, to two years from the date of their respective last days of employment. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash
restructuring charge in 2008 of approximately $0.3 million, of which approximately $0.1 million related to the acceleration of unvested options and $0.2 million related to the
extension of time to exercise these options. The Company valued these changes using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The
weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $1.50, $2.03 and $1.39, respectively, per
option. The fair value
of each stock option is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions:

The
stock volatility for each grant is measured using the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company's common stock over the most
recent period equal to the expected option life of the grant, the historical short term trend of the option and other factors, such as expected changes in volatility arising from planned changes in
the Company's business operations.

The
estimated forfeiture rate for each option grant is 6.25%. The Company periodically reviews the estimated forfeiture rate, in light of actual experience.
Net Loss per Basic and Diluted Common Share
The Company reports net loss per basic and diluted common share in accordance with standards established for computing and presenting
earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted
in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive. See Note R, Loss Per Share, for more information
related to options, warrants and convertible Preferred Stock which would be considered anti-dilutive.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash equivalents, trade accounts
receivable, unbilled contract costs and deposits in bank accounts. The Company deposits its cash and invests in short-term investments primarily through a national commercial bank.
Deposits in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are exposed to loss in the event of nonperformance by the institution. The Company has had cash deposits in
excess of the FDIC insurance coverage.
The
Company's trade accounts receivable and unbilled contract costs and fees are primarily from sales to commercial customers and to a lesser extent U.S. government agencies. The Company
does not require collateral and has not historically experienced significant credit losses related to receivables, letters of credit or unbilled contract costs and fees from individual customers or
groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area.
Significant
customers are defined as those customers that account for 10% or more of total net revenue in a fiscal year or 10% or more of accounts receivable and unbilled contract costs
and fees at the end of a fiscal period. The table below details out customers that were considered significant,

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled contract costs and fees, warrants to
purchase shares of common stock, accounts payable and debt instruments. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
The estimated fair values have been determined through information obtained from market sources and management estimates. The Company's warrant liability is recorded at fair value. See "Fair Value
Measurements" section below.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured using unputs from the three levels of fair value hierarchy which are as
follows:
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
Level 2
|
|
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable
or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
|
Level 3
|
|
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
