Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), and its subsidiaries, Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc., a California corporation (Premier Power California), Bright Future Technologies, LLC (Bright Future), and Premier Power Sociedad Limitada (Premier Power Spain) (collectively the “Company”) design, engineer, and install photovoltaic systems in the United States and Spain.

Prior to September 9, 2008, Premier Power California and Bright Future were wholly owned by a common shareholder group. That same shareholder group was deemed to exercise control over Premier Power Spain through a 51% ownership interest, management control, and the absence of disproportionate voting rights. On September 1, 2008, that shareholder group exchanged their interests in Premier Power Spain for shares of common stock of Premier Power California. On August 27, 2008, the holders of the 49% minority interest in Premier Power Spain exchanged their interests in Premier Power Spain for shares of common stock of Premier Power California. A summary of the fair value of the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities held by the 49% minority interest is as follows:
 
Fair value of shares exchanged
 
$
1,489,234
 
Tangible assets acquired
 
$
(1,033,603
)
Amortizing intangible assets acquired
 
$
(1,110,001
)
Liabilities assumed
 
$
1,137,866
 
Goodwill
 
$
  483, 496
 

As of December 31, 2008, the Company completed the process of valuing the acquired assets and liabilities.  There were no material adjustments to the initial allocation of the acquisition price as a result of the completion of this process.

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

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

Subsequent to the merger, the former shareholders of Premier Power California held approximately 87% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The merger was considered to be a reverse acquisition accounted for as a recapitalization. Premier Power California was considered to be the accounting acquirer and the historical financial statements of the Company are those of Premier Power California. The outstanding shares, members’ equity and earnings per share in the historical financial statements have been restated to give effect to the shares of common stock issued to the controlling shareholders.
 
Concurrently with the closing of the share exchange on September 9, 2008, we raised $7,000,000 in a private placement financing (the “Financing”) by issuing a total of 3,500,000 units (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of one share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, one-half of one Series A Warrant, and one-half of one Series B Warrant to the investor at $2.00 per Unit.

On June 16, 2009, we entered into a Securities Purchase agreement with Vision Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. (“Vision”) under which we sold to Vision 2,800,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B), (bearing no liquidation preference, no coupon payments, and no redemption rights) in exchange for the cancellation of 3,500,000 warrants held by Vision, and $3,000,000 in cash.  The cancellation of warrants resulted in the elimination of all our issued and outstanding warrants.

On July 31, 2009, we closed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity ownership of Rupinvest Sarl, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Luxembourg (“Rupinvest”) from Esdras Ltd., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Cyprus (“Esdras”) (the “Closing”).  Rupinvest distributes, develops, and integrates ground mount and rooftop solar power systems in Italy through its wholly owned subsidiary, Acro Energy Srl (“Premier Power Italy”), a private limited liability company organized under the laws of Italy.  The terms of the transaction are set forth in a Share Exchange Agreement entered into on June 3, 2009 between the Company, Rupinvest, and Esdras.  Prior to the Closing, Rupinvest was the wholly owned subsidiary of Esdras.  We acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity ownership interest in Rupinvest from Esdras in exchange for: (a) a cash payment by us to Esdras in the amount of twelve thousand five hundred euros (€12,500, or approximately $17,718); and (b) the potential transfer to Esdras of up to three million shares of our restricted common stock, with the number of shares to be transferred, if any, to be calculated based on sales by Premier Power Italy over a three year period.  We opened escrow for the Rupinvest acquisition on July 9, 2009 under   an Escrow Agreement, which was subsequently amended on July 22, 2009 and July 30, 2009.  Capita Trust Company Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (the “Escrow Agent”), acted as escrow agent and held in escrow the deliverables by each party for the transaction.  We acknowledged that Esdras fulfilled its obligation to transfer one thousand two hundred and fifty (1,250) shares of Rupinvest’s capital stock, which represents 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Rupinvest’s capital stock (the “Rupinvest Shares”), to us by delivering the Rupinvest Shares to us directly and not by means of the escrow.  Esdras waived our obligation to deliver twelve thousand five hundred Euros (€12,500, or approximately $17,718) to the Escrow Agent.  We delivered to the Escrow Agent the stock certificate evidencing three million shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which certificate is registered in the name of the Escrow Agent’s custodial delegate and will be held in escrow until their release pursuant to disbursement terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to a Waiver and Second Amendment, which acted as the second amendment to the Escrow Agreement and which was entered into on July 30, 2009, the parties waived certain other escrow deliverables that Rupinvest and Premier Power Italy were required to deliver.  The parties also agreed that the Waiver and Second Amendment constituted written notice on behalf of the Company, Rupinvest, and Esdras to the Escrow Agent that the closing deliveries that we, Rupinvest, Premier Power Italy, and Esdras were required to deliver pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, as amended, either have been made or waived pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Escrow Agreement.  Following the Closing, we conduct operations in Italy through Premier Power Italy.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. They should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements of Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 appearing in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2009. The June 30, 2009 and 2008 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for smaller reporting companies. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company’s management believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operation for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc., and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions and cash flows are eliminated on consolidation.  Given that our acquisition of Rupinvest did not close by June 30, 2009, the financial statements are not inclusive of that subsidiary’s results.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves, revenue recognition, the estimated useful life of property and equipment, the valuation of derivative instruments and income taxes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand or in the bank and short-term investment securities with remaining maturities of 90 days or less at date of purchase.

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company had $2,979,022 in cash in bank accounts at June 30, 2009 in excess of deposit insurance limits.
 
Concentrations and Credit Risk – The Company had two customers each accounting for more than 10% of the Company’s sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 that in the aggregate accounted for 22.3% of the Company’s sales during the quarter.  One customer accounted for 26% of the Company’s sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The Company had two customers that each accounted for 14 % of the Company’s sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009. One customer accounted for 30% of the Company’s revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008.   Accounts receivable primarily consist of trade receivables and amounts due from state agencies and utilities for rebates on solar systems installed.  At June 30, 2009, the Company had two customers that accounted for 15%, and 13% of the Company’s accounts receivables, respectively.  At December 31, 2008, the Company had four customers that accounted for 27%, 13%, 11% and 10% of the Company’s accounts receivables, respectively.  The Company monitors account balances and follows up with accounts that are past due as defined in the terms of the contract with the customer. To date, the Company’s losses on uncollectible accounts receivable have been immaterial. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the expected collectability of its accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on assessments of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than historical experience, the allowance for doubtful accounts is increased. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $18,000 and $18,000 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
The Company purchases its solar panels from a limited number of vendors, but believes that in the event it is unable to purchase solar panels from these vendors, alternative sources of solar panels will be available.

Inventory - Inventories, consisting primarily of raw materials, are recorded using the average cost method and are carried at the lower of cost or market.
 
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment with a value greater than $2,000 are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 years, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease term, if shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as they occur.

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

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

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

Advertising - The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs were $398,465 and $219,148 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Product Warranties - Prior to January 1, 2007, the Company provided a five year warranty covering the labor and materials associated with its installations. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company changed the coverage to generally be ten years in the U.S. and to one year in Spain for all contracts signed after December 31, 2006. Solar panels and inverters are warranted by the manufacturer for 25 years and 10 years, respectively. Activity in the Company’s warranty reserve for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009 was as follows:

Foreign Currency -Premier Power Spain’s functional currency is the Euro. Its assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, except for certain non-monetary balances, which are translated at historical rates. All income and expense amounts of Premier Power Spain are translated at average exchange rates for the respective period. Translation gains and losses are not included in determining net income but are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of net income (loss) in the period in which they occur. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the foreign currency transaction loss was $84,218 and $29,429, respectively.

Minority Interest – The minority interest reflected in the statement of operations represents the 49% shareholdings of the non-controlling shareholders in the Company’s Spanish operations, Premier Power Spain. Concurrent with the reverse merger, these shareholdings were converted into shares of the Company’s stock and no longer reported as a minority interest effective September 9, 2008.

Earnings per Share – Earnings per share is computed in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “ Earnings Per Share .” Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, as adjusted for the dilutive effect of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred shares using the “if converted” method and dilutive potential common shares. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, there were no potential dilutive common shares outstanding.   For the three months ended June 30, 2009, potentially dilutive securities included warrants and convertible preferred stock. Potential dilutive common shares of 3,531,111 were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”)  No. 157, " Fair Value Measurement " ("FAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, except for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for which the effective date will be for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of FAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.  The adoption of FAS 157 for non-financial assets did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “ The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ” (“FAS 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and is applicable beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The adoption of FAS 159 did not have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

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

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (as amended)” (“FAS 160”), which improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as equity consolidated financial statements. Moreover, FAS 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting from transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of FAS 160 did not have an effect on the Company or on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

 In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”   (“FAS 161”), which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company adopted FAS 161 effective beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of FAS 161 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 142-3, “ Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets .” The FSP amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FAS No. 142, “ Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets .” The FSP must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The adoption of the FSP did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 162, “ The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ” (“FAS 162”), which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This statement became effective on November 15, 2008 which is 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments of AU Section 411, “ The Meaning of Presents Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ”  The adoption of FAS 162 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-5 (EITF 07-5), " Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock .”  EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions.  It also clarifies on the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments.  EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years.  See Note 8 for additional information.

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

In May 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”) which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, SFAS 165 sets forth (a) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (b) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (c) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was issued on August 14, 2009. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 did not have a material impact on results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

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

Lines of Credit

On July 13, 2009, we entered into a loan agreement with Umpqua Bank, an Oregon corporation, for a line of credit of up to $12 million, maturing on July 13, 2011.  The loan agreement provides for an initial line of credit of $7 million, provided, however, that we may request no more than twice prior to the maturity date that the line of credit be increased to an amount not to exceed $12 million in the event we acquire another subsidiary and require additional working capital for such subsidiary.  The line of credit is secured by our assets and by the assets of Premier Power California, Bright Future, and Premier Power Spain.  The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate, provided, however, that the interest rate will not be less than five percent (5%) per annum.  At August  14, 2009, the interest rate was 5%.  As of August 14, 2009 , there is $1,700,000 outstanding under our agreement with Umpqua Bank.
 
At June 30, 2009, Premier Power Spain had an unsecured line of credit for $138,710, which has interest terms of Euribor + 1 and is due in full on August 25, 2009.

DERIVATVE INSTRUMENT

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted EITF 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock . As part of the adoption of EITF 07-5, the Company determined that its warrants are not indexed to its stock as a result of the basis of an exercise price reset that occurs when the Company sells its common stock at a lower price, even if such price is at fair value. Thus, the value of the warrants has been recorded as a liability.

The Company recorded a warrant liability in the amount of $11,118,573 upon adoption of EITF 07-5.  The Company determined the fair value of the warrant liability to be $9,643,348 as of March 31, 2009 and $8,935,076 as of June 16, 2009, immediately prior to retiring the warrants.  As a result of the changes in fair value, the Company recorded income of $708,272 and $2,183,498 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

On June 16, 2009, when the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vision Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. (“Vision”), the terms of the agreement canceled 3,500,000 warrants held by Vision. The cancellation of warrants resulted in the elimination of all our issued and outstanding warrants.  As a result of the cancellation, the Company derecognized the warrant liability of $8,935,076 and recorded the gain on its extinguishment of $1,435,076 in additional paid in capital in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 26, Early Extinguishment of Debt .

The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate fair value of its warrant liability. Key assumptions used are as follows:

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) provides for the issuance of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options. The Company’s Board of Directors determines to whom grants are made and the vesting, timing, amounts and other terms of such grants, subject to the terms of the 2008 Plan. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company, while non-statutory stock options may be granted to the Company’s employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors. Options under the 2008 Plan vest as determined by the Board of Directors.  The term of the options granted under the 2008 Plan may not exceed 10 years and the maximum aggregate shares that may be issued upon exercise of such options is 4,000,000 shares of common stock. Options for 1,064,479 shares of common stock were outstanding for the 2008 Plan as of June 30, 2009.  The Company did not grant stock options prior to January 2009, and there was no stock compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $144,770 and $289,540 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

There are no excess tax benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and therefore, there is no impact on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

The fair value of stock option grants during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

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

      Expected Term — The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. For awards granted subject only to service vesting requirements, the Company utilizes the simplified method under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) for estimating the expected term of the stock-based award.

(unaudited)

      Expected Volatility — Because there is minimal history of stock price returns, the Company does not have sufficient historical volatility data for its equity awards. Accordingly, the Company has chosen to use rates for similar publicly traded U.S.-based competitors to calculate the volatility for its granted options.

       Expected Dividend — The Company has never paid dividends on its common shares and currently does not intend to do so, and accordingly, the dividend yield percentage is zero for all periods.

       Risk-Free Interest Rate — The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method upon the implied yield curve currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term used as the assumption in the model.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company has a 401(k) plan (the “Plan”) for its employees. Employees are eligible to make contributions when they attain an age of twenty-one and have completed at least one year of service. The Company makes discretionary matching contributions to employees who qualify for the Plan and were employed on the last day of the Plan year. Such contributions totaled $12,000 and $18,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Employees are vested 100% after 3 years of service. Neither Bright Future nor Premier Power Spain offer defined contribution or defined benefit plans to their employees.

11.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability.  In accordance with SAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements , the Company uses fair value measurements based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) or unobservable inputs for assts or liabilities (Level 3), depending on the nature of the item being valued.  The following disclosure are made in accordance with FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 107-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values at each balance sheet date due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s borrowing is based upon current interest rates for debt instruments with comparable maturities and characteristics and approximates carrying values.

RESTATEMENT TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009
 
The Company amended the financial statements included with its quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 to reflect certain non-cash adjustments and a re-valuation of warrant liability and stock option expense to reflect the market price of stock versus an independent valuation of the Company’s stock value.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On July 31, 2009, we closed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity ownership of Rupinvest Sarl, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Luxembourg (“Rupinvest”), from Esdras Ltd., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Cyprus (“Esdras”).  We acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity ownership interest in Rupinvest from Esdras in exchange for the potential transfer to Esdras of up to three million shares of our restricted common stock, with the number of shares to be transferred, if any, to be calculated based on sales by Rupinvest’s wholly owned subsidiary, Arco Energy Srl, over a three-year period.

ITEM 2.            MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
 
As used in this report, unless the context requires otherwise, “we” or “us” or the “Company” or “Premier Power” means Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
 
Overview

We are a developer, designer, and integrator of solar energy solutions. Our financial statements give effect to the financial position and results of operations of Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc., a California corporation (“Premier Power California”), and its two wholly owned subsidiaries (i) Bright Future Technologies LLC (“Bright Future”) and (ii) and Premier Power Sociedad Limitada (“Premier Power Spain”), (collectively the “Premier Power Group”). We develop, market, sell, and maintain solar energy systems for residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial customers in North America and Spain. As of July 31, 2009, we also distribute, develop, and integrate ground mount and rooftop solar power systems in Italy through Arco Energy Srl (“Premier Power Italy”), the wholly owned subsidiary of Rupinvest Sarl, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Luxembourg (“Rupinvest”), which is our wholly owned subsidiary.  We use solar components from the solar industry’s leading suppliers and manufacturers such as General Electric, Suntech, Sharp, Kyocera, Fronius, Watsun, and SunPower Corporation.

On September 9, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Premier Power California in exchange for the issuance of 24,218,750 restricted shares of our common stock, which represented approximately 93.1% of our then-issued and outstanding common stock.  As a result of the share exchange, Premier Power California became our wholly owned subsidiary, and we acquired the business and operations of the Premier Power Group.

Concurrently with the closing of the share exchange on September 9, 2008, we raised $7,000,000 in a private placement financing (the “Financing”) by issuing a total of 3,500,000 units (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of one share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, one-half of one Series A Warrant, and one-half of one Series B Warrant to the investor at $2.00 per Unit.
 
On June 16, 2009, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vision Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. (“Vision”) under which we sold to Vision 2,800,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (bearing no liquidation preference, no coupon payments, and no redemption rights) in exchange for (i) the cancellation of 4-year Series A Warrants issued to Vision on September 9, 2008 and exercisable for an aggregate 1,750,000 shares of our common stock at $2.50 per share and 4-year Series B Warrants issued to Vision on September 9, 2008 exercisable for an aggregate 1,750,000 shares of our common stock at $3.00 per share, and (ii) $3,000,000 in cash.  The cancellation of warrants resulted in the elimination of all our issued and outstanding warrants.

On July 31, 2009, we closed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity ownership of Rupinvest from Esdras Ltd., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Cyprus (“Esdras”) (the “Closing”).  Rupinvest distributes, develops, and integrates ground mount and rooftop solar power systems in Italy through its wholly owned subsidiary, Premier Power Italy, a private limited liability company organized under the laws of Italy.  The terms of the transaction are set forth in a Share Exchange Agreement entered into on June 3, 2009 between the Company, Rupinvest, and Esdras.  Prior to the Closing, Rupinvest was the wholly owned subsidiary of Esdras.  We acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity ownership interest in Rupinvest from Esdras in exchange for: (a) a cash payment by us to Esdras in the amount of twelve thousand five hundred euros (€12,500, or approximately $17,718); and (b) the potential transfer to Esdras of up to three million shares of our restricted common stock, with the number of shares to be transferred, if any, to be calculated based on sales by Premier Power Italy over a three year period.

We opened escrow for the Rupinvest acquisition on July 9, 2009 under an Escrow Agreement, which was subsequently amended on July 22, 2009 and July 30, 2009.  Capita Trust Company Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (the “Escrow Agent”), acted as escrow agent and held in escrow the deliverables by each party for the transaction.   We acknowledged that Esdras fulfilled its obligation to transfer one thousand two hundred and fifty (1,250) shares of Rupinvest’s capital stock, which represents 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Rupinvest’s capital stock (the “Rupinvest Shares”), to us by delivering the Rupinvest Shares to us directly and not by means of the escrow.  Esdras waived our obligation to deliver the cash payment of twelve thousand five hundred Euros (€12,500, or approximately $17,718) to the Escrow Agent.  We delivered to the Escrow Agent the stock certificate evidencing three million shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which certificate is registered in the name of the Escrow Agent’s custodial delegate and will be held in escrow until their release pursuant to disbursement terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to a Waiver and Second Amendment (the “Waiver”), which acted as the second amendment to the Escrow Agreement and which was entered into on July 30, 2009, the parties waived certain other escrow deliverables that Rupinvest and Premier Power Italy were required to deliver.  The parties also agreed that the Waiver constituted written notice on behalf of the Company, Rupinvest, and Esdras to the Escrow Agent that the closing deliveries that we, Rupinvest, Premier Power Italy, and Esdras were required to deliver pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, as amended, either have been made or waived pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Escrow Agreement.  Following the Closing, we conduct operations in Italy through Premier Power Italy.

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

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid the reader in fully understanding and evaluating this discussion and analysis:

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. They should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements of Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 appearing in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2009. The June 30, 2009 and 2008 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for smaller reporting companies. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company’s management believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operation for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc., and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions and cash flows are eliminated on consolidation.  Given that our acquisition of Rupinvest did not close by June 30, 2009, the financial statements are not inclusive of that subsidiary’s results.
 
Inventory - Inventories, consisting primarily of raw materials, are recorded using the average cost method and are carried at the lower of cost or market.

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

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

Earnings per Share – Earnings per share is computed in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “ Earnings Per Share .” Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, as adjusted for the dilutive effect of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred shares using the “if converted” method and dilutive potential common shares. For all of the periods presented, the Company had no dilutive potential common shares except for outstanding convertible preferred shares during the six months ended June 30, 2009.  

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

Product Warranties - Prior to January 1, 2007, the Company provided a five year warranty covering the labor and materials associated with its installations. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company changed the coverage to generally be ten years in the U.S. and to one year in Spain for all contracts signed after December 31, 2006. Solar panels and inverters are warranted by the manufacturer for 25 years and 10 years, respectively. Activity in the Company’s warranty reserve for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009 was as follows:

Balance at end of period
  $ 267,557     $ 278,370  

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”)  No. 157, " Fair Value Measurement " ("FAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, except for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for which the effective date will be for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of FAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.  The adoption of FAS 157 for non-financial assets did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, “ The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ” (“FAS 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and is applicable beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The adoption of FAS 159 did not have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

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

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (as amended)” (“FAS 160”), which improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as equity consolidated financial statements. Moreover, FAS 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting from transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of FAS 160 did not have an effect on the Company or on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”   (“FAS 161”), which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company adopted FAS 161 effective beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of FAS 161 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 142-3, “ Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets .” The FSP amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FAS No. 142, “ Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets .” The FSP must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The adoption of the FSP did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 162, “ The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ” (“FAS 162”), which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This statement became effective on November 15, 2008 which is 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments of AU Section 411, “ The Meaning of Presents Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ”  The adoption of FAS 162 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-5 (EITF 07-5), " Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock .”  EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions.  It also clarifies on the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments.  EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years.  See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements attached hereto for additional information.

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

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

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

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008

Net sales.    For the three months ended June 30, 2009, net sales decreased 69% relative to the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $13,123,871 to $4,114,346.  The decrease between the periods is primarily attributable to the Company having no projects during the three months ended June 30, 2009 that were similar in size to a large project we substantially completed during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, which accounted for over $5 million in revenues during that quarter.  Additionally, revenue generated within the U.S. was more than $2 million lower in the second quarter of 2009 than the same period in 2008 due to a shift in our commercial sales efforts moving to larger more complex and longer sales cycles and the general tightening of the U.S. credit market.

Cost of sales.     Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $3,575,181 compared to $11,221,975 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of approximately 68%.  The decrease in our cost of sales is in line with the reduction in net sales between the periods.

Gross profit.   Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $539,165 compared to gross profit of $1,901,896 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, representing gross margins of approximately 13% and 14%, respectively.  The decrease in gross profit between the periods is mainly attributable to the decrease in net sales. 

Operating expenses .   Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses and administrative expenses.  For the three months ended June 30, 2009, total operating expenses were $1,992,281, consisting of sales and marketing costs of $717,547 and administrative costs of $1,274,754, while total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $891,303, consisting of sales and marketing costs of $586,872 and administrative costs of $304,431, representing an increase in total operating expenses of approximately 124%.  As a percentage of sales, operating expenses were approximately 48% and 7% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The increase in operating expenses is due to an increase in professional costs related to becoming a public company in September 2008, costs related to the addition of sales people in our commercial sales department, an increase in salaries for three employees, and a one-time cost associated with our acquisition of Rupinvest.  The increase can be further explained by the stock compensation expense resulting from a grant of stock options in January 2009 and amortization of our intangibles resulting from our September 2008 reverse merger, both of which are non-cash transactions.
 
Income taxes .  For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded a tax benefit of $481,723 and tax expense of $288, and for the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a tax expense of $201,536.  The change in income taxes relates primarily to the loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The change in fair value of financial instruments of $708,272 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was not subject to income taxes, and thus, we had a taxable loss for that period.  Additionally, we were not subject to federal income tax for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Net income (loss).   We had net loss of $259,308 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net income of $468,128 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008

Net sales.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net sales decreased 50% relative to the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $17,988,817 to $8,907,699.  The decrease from the first half of 2008 to the first half of 2009 is primarily attributable to the Company having no projects during the three months ended June 30, 2009 that were similar in size to a large project we substantially completed during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, which accounted for over $5 million in revenues during that quarter.  Additionally, revenue generated within the U.S. was lower due to a shift in our commercial sales efforts moving to larger more complex and longer sales cycles and the general tightening of the U.S. credit market.

Cost of sales.   Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $8,000,654 compared to $15,269,775 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of approximately 48%.   The decrease in our cost of sales is in line with the reduction in net sales between the periods.

Gross profit.   Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $907,045 compared to gross profit of $2,719,042 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, representing gross margins of approximately 10% and 15%, respectively.  The 67% decrease in gross profit was driven by our Spanish operations, which had lower margin projects and higher costs to the budgeted costs of projects.

Operating expenses .   Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses and administrative expenses.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, total operating expenses were $3,775,045, consisting of sales and marketing costs of $1,372,304 and administrative costs of $2,402,761, while total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $1,907,866, consisting of sales and marketing costs of $995,376 and administrative costs of $912,490, representing an increase in total operating expenses of approximately 98%.  As a percentage of sales, operating expenses were approximately 42% and 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The increase in operating expenses is due to costs related to the addition of sales people in our commercial sales department, an increase in salaries, and a one-time cost associated with our acquisition of Rupinvest.  The increase can be further explained by the stock compensation expense resulting from a grant of stock options in January 2009 and amortization of our intangibles resulting from our September 2008 reverse merger, both of which are non-cash transactions.

Income taxes .  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded a tax benefit of $1,126,487 and a tax expense of $204,336, respectively.  The change in income taxes relates primarily to the loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The change in fair value of financial instruments of $2,183,498 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was not subject to income taxes, and thus, we had a taxable loss for that period.  Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, we were not subject to tax federal income tax reporting purposes.

Net income (loss).  We had net income of $462,233 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net income of $274,569 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Net cash flows used in operating activities was $5,424,598 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, while net cash flows used in operating activities was $785,450 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease in net cash flows from operating activities between the two periods was mainly due to net income before the adjustment for the fair value gain of warrants, an increase in accounts payable, an increase in deferred taxes, and an increase in inventory.

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $74,562 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, while net cash flows used in investing activities was $87,412 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  We consider the change between the two periods to be immaterial.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $3,350,682 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, while net cash flows provided by financing activities was $499,282 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The increase in net cash flows from financing activities was mainly due to the issuance of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for net proceeds of $3 million during the first half of 2009.

Material Impact of Known Events on Liquidity

Our business is exposed to risks associated with the ongoing financial crisis and weakening global economy, which may have a material impact on our short-term and long-term liquidity as a result of the uncertainty of project financing for commercial solar installations and the risk of non-payment from both commercial and residential customers.  The recent severe tightening of the credit markets, turmoil in the financial markets, and weakening global economy are contributing to slowdowns in the solar industry, which slowdowns may worsen if these economic conditions are prolonged or deteriorate further.  The market for installation of solar power systems depends largely on commercial and consumer capital spending.  Economic uncertainty exacerbates negative trends in these areas of spending, and may cause our customers to push out, cancel, or refrain from placing orders, which may reduce our net sales.  Difficulties in obtaining capital and deteriorating market conditions may also lead to the inability of some customers to obtain affordable financing, including traditional project financing and tax-incentive based financing and home equity-based financing, resulting in lower sales to potential customers with liquidity issues, and may lead to an increase of incidents where our customers are unwilling or unable to pay for systems they purchase, and additional bad debt expense for the Company.  Further, these conditions and uncertainty about future economic conditions may make it challenging for us to obtain equity and debt financing to meet our working capital requirements to support our business.
 
There are no other known events that are expected to have a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity.
 
Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations and borrowings. On September 9, 2008, we received gross proceeds of $7,000,000 from a private placement financing transaction, and on June 16, 2009, we received gross proceeds of $3,000,000 from another private placement financing transaction.  We also have a $7,000,000 credit line that is utilized solely for working capital and capital expenditures, which expires on July 13, 2011.  Thus, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, anticipated cash flow from operations, net proceeds from the private placement financings, and line of credit will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including our cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. The proceeds from the private placement financings will be used for general working capital purposes (including funding the purchase of additional inventory and advertising and marketing expenses) and for other acquisitions we may decide to pursue.

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

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Lines of Credit
 
On July 13, 2009, we entered into a loan agreement with Umpqua Bank, an Oregon corporation, for a line of credit of up to $12 million, maturing on July 13, 2011.  The agreement provides for an initial line of credit of $7 million, provided, however, that we may request no more than twice prior to the maturity date that the line of credit be increased to an amount not to exceed $12 million in the event we acquire another subsidiary and require additional working capital for such subsidiary.  The line of credit is secured by our assets and by the assets of Premier Power California, Bright Future, and Premier Power Spain.  The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate, provided, however, that the interest rate will not be less than five percent (5%) per annum.  At August 14, 2009, the interest rate was 5%. As of August 14, 2009, there is $1,700,000 outstanding under our agreement with Umpqua Bank.
 
Additionally, on June 1, 2009, Premier Power Spain opened an unsecured line of credit for $138,710, which has interest terms of Euribor + 1 and is due in full on August 25, 2009.
  
Contractual Obligations

We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
 
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2009, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.
