Section 4-Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements

Item 4.02
Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

Solar Power, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), today announced that that it will restate its historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 in response to comments received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the Company’s Pre-Effective Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed on June 27, 2007.  A summary of the nature and impact of the restatements follows:

Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 2006

The Company determined that it had overstated the purchase price for its acquisition of Dale Renewables Consulting, Inc. (DRCI) by $331,192.  The overstatement resulted from operating expenses of DRCI incurred by it from June 1, 2006 to November 15, 2006 (during which it operated under the control of the Company in accordance with a management agreement) and paid on its behalf by a third party controlled by the sellers.  Under the terms of the management agreement, the Company was obligated to pay for these expenses.  The Company reimbursed the sellers for these expenses in conjunction with the completion of the acquisition of DRCI and included the balance of $331,192 in its determination of purchase price.

Upon further consideration, and determining that the reimbursement of the $331,192 was not contingent upon the close of the DRCI acquisition, the Company determined that it overstated the purchase price of DRCI by this amount.  As the Company had recorded a prepaid asset for $331,192 in conjunction with the original allocation of purchase to the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired, and as this asset was fully amortized prior to December 31, 2006, there was no effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statement of operations as of and for the year then ended.

However, the error did result in classification errors within the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006.  Cash used in investing activities was overstated and cash used in operating activities was understated by $331,192.

Additionally, the Company had originally determined that the cash received from its reverse merger with Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) in the amount of $14,997,932 should be classified as proceeds from financing activities based upon its interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, and the nature of the assets acquired by it.  Upon further consideration, the Company has determined that such proceeds are more properly classified as proceeds from investing activities and accordingly has reclassified the proceeds of $14,997,932.

On July 20, 2007 after discussions with Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP, the Company’s independent public accountant and SEC staff, management and the Company’s audit committee determined that it was necessary to restate its historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 to increase net cash used in operating activities by $331,192, decrease net cash used in investing activities by $331,192 and reclassify cash received in the amount of $14,997,932 from the merger with Solar Power, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Welund Fund, Inc.) as an investing activity.

Interim Financial Information for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

The Company incorrectly expensed $77,538 of costs incurred in conjunction with the private placement closing on September 19, 2006 and October 4, 2006 that should have been capitalized.  As a result,  the Company’s condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 overstated general and administrative expense by $77,538 and overstated loss from continuing operations and net loss by an equal amount. This adjustment also decreased the loss per share by $0.2 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and $.05 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  Additionally, the Company’s condensed statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 overstated net cash used in operating activities by $77,538 and understated cash used in financing activities by an equal amount.

On July 20, 2007, after discussions with Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP, the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm; Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm at the time of the original filing of the Form 10-QSB, and SEC staff, management and the audit committee concluded that the Company must restate its historical financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 to decrease reported operating expenses by $77,538 and decrease loss from continuing operations and net loss by an equal amount on its condensed statements of operations, decrease net loss and net cash used in operating activities by $77,538 and decrease proceeds from issuance of common stock, net of offering costs paid and net cash provided by financing activities by an equal amount on its condensed statements of cash flows and decrease additional paid in capital by $77,538 and decrease accumulated deficit by an equal amount on its balance sheet.

Accordingly, the financial statements and all earnings press releases and similar communications issued by the Company relating to those periods should not be relied upon pending completion of the restatements. The Company plans to complete restatement of its financial statements prior to issuance of its next quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2007.
