The aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates was $2,135,680, computed by reference to the price at which the common equity was last sold. For purposes of the foregoing calculation, we have assumed that only directors, executive officers, and holders of 10% or more of the issuer’s common capital stock are affiliates.

The number of shares outstanding of the registrant’s common stock as of April 8, 2016, was 5,564,258.

In this report, the terms "we," "us," "our," "Company," “PSWW”, “PSI”, and “Principal Solar” refer to Principal Solar, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

When used in this report, the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “intend,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) regarding events, conditions and financial trends which may affect the Company’s future plans of operations, business strategy, operating results, and financial position. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements for various reasons, including those identified under Risk Factors included herein. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company does not undertake, and specifically declines, any obligation to update any of these statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any forward-looking statements after the distribution of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.

Principal Solar, Inc. is the successor company to Kupper Parker Communications, Inc. (“KPCG”), having been created in March 2011 through a reverse merger undertaken pursuant to an Exchange Agreement dated as of March 7, 2011, between Principal Solar, Inc. (a Texas corporation, “Principal Solar Texas”) and KPCG.

Historically, our business plan has been to acquire, build, own, and operate profitable, large-scale solar generation facilities (collectively, "solar development"). The Company has failed to secure sufficient project financing to build large-scale solar generation facilities as planned, and is not considering any new large utility-scale solar projects at this time. Currently, the Company is negotiating to assign its interest in its Sunrise V (IS 42) project in order to create liquidity or otherwise remove obligations of the Company regarding current projects. The consummation of any agreement is subject to entering into a separate construction contract, and final closing is subject to the buyer securing financing and other conditions, some of which may be beyond the Company’s control. If all of the conditions are satisfied, the consummation of the assignment is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2016. See discussion below under "Disposition of Principal Sunrise V". The Company is also considering disposition of its remaining development projects acquired in partnership with Arowana International Limited ("Arowana"). See discussion below under “Additional Projects”. Successful disposition of one or more of the Company's projects is necessary to the Company's ability to meet its obligations coming due during 2016. Failure to complete the dispositions, or complete them on expected terms, could cause the Company to lose its cumulative investment in one or more of the projects and cause it to cease operations.

Resulting from the expected and considered dispositions, the Company expects to make changes to its leadership team, including the expected departure concurrent with this filing of its Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Technology Officer whose services may remain available to us for a time through a transition services agreement with their new employer, VivoPower USA, LLC, an affiliate of Arowana.

The Company is negotiating to assign its interest in Principal Sunrise V to a buyer contingent upon the assignee's ability to secure the necessary tax equity and debt financing (approximately $108 million combined) to build and operate the project. Tax equity is defined as temporary equity invested whose primary source of return is monetizing the tax attributes of the underlying investment ("tax equity"). The parties have selected a date of June 30, 2016, to secure the financing and close the transaction, and such date may be extended by the parties. If completed, under the assignment agreement the Company would be repaid its cumulative investment through the closing date ($5.1 million at March 31, 2016) and a separate development fee up to $4.0 million. As a part of the assignment, the Company guaranteed the assignee a 10% after-tax rate of return, with any deficit being deducted from the development fee to be received by the Company. Due to its variable nature, the ultimate development fee received by the Company is expected to range between $0 and $4 million to be paid incrementally between closing and commercial operation date ("COD") as the costs to construct the project become more certain. As a part of the transaction, the assignee has agreed to fund a portion of the development costs between signing and closing through a loan to the Company of up to $333 thousand, and the project seller has agreed to be paid their balance due at closing, both lessening the monthly cash burden to the Company.

There can be no assurance the assignment of Principal Sunrise V will be closed or closed upon the terms described above, and failure to close or to close timely would result in a loss of the Company's investment to date.

On August 20, 2015, the Company issued a promissory note and security agreement to Arowana in the original principal amount of $1,600,000. The note matures on December 31, 2016, and bears simple interest at the rate of 6% per annum (the "Arowana Note"). The note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into membership interests in our Principal Sunrise V project based upon a valuation not yet determinable.

The Company used the proceeds from the Arowana Note to make investments in two additional projects totaling 68MW AC ("Additional Projects"). The first of the two projects, 34.2MW AC in North Carolina, should begin construction in the second quarter of 2016 and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2016. The second of the two projects, 33.8 MW AC also in North Carolina, is approximately 6 weeks behind the first. The Additional Projects serve as collateral for the Company’s obligations under the Arowana Note, which is otherwise unsecured and non-recourse to the Company.

Arowana continues to fund the development costs of the Additional Projects and, at March 31, 2016, the cumulative investment in the Additional Projects totaled $7.9 million, and the balance of the Arowana Note was $8.0 million, including interest. There can be no assurance Arowana will continue funding the two projects and failing to do so could, depending upon the completion, timing, and proceeds from the assignment of Principal Sunrise V, cause the related power purchase agreements to be in default, resulting in a loss of all amounts invested to date.

Over the past four years, via the acquisition and expansion of the Principal Solar Institute (www.PrincipalSolarInstitute.org) (the Company’s industry website), the Company has become one of the most prolific authors in the solar industry. The Company has produced multiple white papers and dozens of articles on solar and solar-related topics. The Institute also regularly hosts industry experts to conduct valuable and relevant webinars. The long-term goal is to publish an authoritative library of papers and webinars, which will represent a single source and resource for understanding the solar industry. In the fall of 2012, the Company launched the Principal Solar Ratings System, an industry-first ratings system that allows easy, unbiased, comprehensive analysis and comparison of PV modules and solar power generation systems. The Institute built the Ratings system by bringing together a standards committee consisting, in the view of our management, of some of the best known and highly regarded individuals in the sector.

We are and we will remain an "emerging growth company" as defined under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenues equal or exceed $1 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a "large accelerated filer" (with at least $700 million in public float) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Please refer to discussions under “Risk Factors” below concerning how and when we may lose emerging growth company status and the various exemptions that are available to us.

Pursuant to Section 102 of the JOBS Act, we have provided reduced executive compensation disclosure and have omitted a compensation discussion and analysis from this report.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, we are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those listed below. Some of these risks include risks associated with:

Our future liquidity and ability to continue operations is dependent upon our collection of current amounts receivable.

On August 11, 2015, the Company assigned its contractual rights to acquire Principal Sunrise IV to Carolina Energy Partners II. The balance of proceeds due to the Company of $1.6 million is due at the project's commercial operation date, expected in early May 2016. Failure to collect that amount would jeopardize the Company's ability to meet its near-term obligations.

Our future liquidity and ability to continue operations is dependent upon the disposition of remaining development assets.

The current negotiation to assign Principal Sunrise V, if successful, is expected to result in the Company's reimbursement of its cumulative investment ($5.1 million at March 31, 2016) and a separate development fee expected to be between $0 and $4.0 million. Completion of the disposition of the existing terms is key to the Company's ability to meet its obligations coming due during 2016. Failure to complete the disposition, or complete it upon terms or timing different than expected, could cause the Company to lose its cumulative investment in the project and cause the Company to cease operations.

Our ability to build a sustainable continuing operation is dependent on our ability to execute on a new business strategy.

Potentially disposing of its current development assets, and not considering any new large utility-scale solar development assets, makes the Company's ability to continue as a going concern dependent on our ability to develop, adopt, finance, and execute on a new business strategy.

The sale of the Company's Powerhouse One subsidiary leaves us with no meaningful source of revenue.

Historically, more than 96% of our consolidated power generation revenue arose from our Powerhouse One solar installation in Fayetteville, Tennessee. With the sale of Powerhouse One in August 2015 the Company has eliminated its primary source of revenue and is dependent upon the remaining payments from the assignment of its contractual rights in Principal Sunrise IV and the potential proceeds from the sale of Principal Sunrise V to maintain its business.

Our auditor has expressed uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has consistently experienced significant negative cash flows from operating activities, negative working capital and has an accumulated deficit. Because of the above, we have been issued an opinion by our auditors that substantial concern exists as to whether we can continue as a going concern. As such, it may be more difficult to attract investors.

We are and we will remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenues equal or exceed $1 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a "large accelerated filer" (with at least $700 million in public float) under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" as described in further detail in the risk factors below. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on some or all of these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. If we avail ourselves of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements, as is currently our plan, our reduced disclosure may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate us and may result in less investor confidence.

The recently enacted JOBS Act will also allow the Company to postpone the date by which it must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC.

As an "emerging growth company", we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

● only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” disclosure

● no requirement that we hold non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements

● exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting

We have taken advantage of some of these reduced burdens, and thus the information we provide our stockholders may be different from what you might receive from other public companies in which you hold shares.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, we are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time are we cease being an “emerging growth company”, the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”. Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospects.

The preparation of our financial statements involves use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our financial statements may be materially affected if our estimates prove to be inaccurate.

Financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP require the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Different estimates, judgments, and assumptions reasonably could be used that would have a material effect on the financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are likely to occur from period to period in the future. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions are inherently uncertain, and, if they prove to be wrong, then we face the risk that charges to income will be required. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments, and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company and its subsidiaries have had material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that we have not addressed. Any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements as well as result in our inability to file periodic reports timely as required by federal securities laws, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

We are required to design, implement, and maintain effective controls over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company and its subsidiaries have disclosed material weaknesses in their internal control over financial reporting that related to the adequacy of our financial and accounting organization support for our financial accounting and reporting needs. These weaknesses mainly resulted from a lack of sufficient personnel, and contributed to deficiencies related to: (1) proper segregation of duties to ensure adequate review of financial transactions; (2) written policies and procedures surrounding the accumulation and summarization of financial transactions; and (3) documentation evidencing the controls that do exist were operating effectively. As of the date of this filing, we have not remediated these material weaknesses.

We cannot be certain that in the future that we will not continue to have or identify new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or that we will successfully remediate any such material weaknesses. The Company and its subsidiaries may have weaknesses in our internal controls that could result in a material misstatement in our annual or interim consolidated financial statements, or cause us to fail to meet our obligations to file periodic financial reports with the SEC. Any of these failures could result in adverse consequences that could materially and adversely affect our business, including potential action by the SEC against us, possible defaults under our debt agreements, stockholder lawsuits, delisting of our stock and general damage to our reputation.

We lack a significant operating history focusing on our current business strategy which investors can use to evaluate us, making share ownership in our Company risky.

Our Company lacks a long-standing operating history focusing on our current business strategy which investors can use to evaluate our Company’s previous results. Therefore, ownership in our Company is risky because we have no significant business history, and it is hard to predict what the outcome of our business operations will be in the future.

In the event Mr. Gorton’s or Mr. Martin’s employment agreements are terminated by the Company without cause or Mr. Gorton or Mr. Martin resigns for any reason or dies, we owe them (or their heirs or estates as applicable) significant amounts of severance pay.

As described below under “Executive and Director Compensation” – “Employment Agreements”, effective January 1, 2012, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Michael Gorton to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and effective January 1, 2011, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with R. Michael Martin to serve as the Company’s Executive Vice President Business Development (collectively Mr. Gorton and Mr. Martin, the “Key Executives”). The agreements remain in effect until the Board of Directors terminates the employment of the Key Executives with the Company or the Key Executives resign with 30 days’ notice. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Gorton $22,000 per month ($264,000 per year, as adjusted from time-to-time) during the term of the agreement and an additional $2,000 per month for the first 18 months of the agreement to repay accrued compensation due to Mr. Gorton. We agree to pay Mr. Martin $16,000 per month ($192,000 per year, as adjusted from time-to-time) during the term of the agreement and reimburse him for up to $170 of monthly cell phone expenses and up to $1,000 in health insurance premiums. The Company can terminate either agreement at any time with or without cause, provided that if the Company terminates an agreement without cause, it is required to pay the Key Executive, all salary due as of the date of such termination, plus either one year of severance pay (Mr. Gorton) or six months of severance pay (Mr. Martin) (at his then applicable salary) and all unvested options held by the Key Executive, if any, vest immediately. Termination for cause under the agreements include the Key Executive’s willful misconduct or habitual neglect in the performance of his duties, conviction for any felony involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude, a material breach of the agreement which remains uncured for 10 days after written notice of such breach by the Company, the material violation of the Company’s policies, or the material dishonesty, moral turpitude, fraud or misrepresentation with respect to the Key Executive’s duties under the applicable agreement. In the event a Key Executive resigns from the Company for any reason, or upon the Key Executive’s death, the Company is required to pay the Key Executive (or as applicable his heirs or estate), all salary due as of the date of such termination, plus one year of severance pay (Mr. Gorton) or six months of severance pay (Mr. Martin) (at his then applicable salary) and all unvested options held by the Key Executive, if any, vest immediately. In the event of the termination of a Key Executive’s employment agreement for cause or disability, the Company is only required to pay him any salary and other benefits earned as of the date of termination. The requirement to pay the Key Executives’ severance pay required under these Employment Agreements could prevent a change of control, even if in the best interests of the Company, provide incentives for the Company not to terminate Mr. Gorton and/or Mr. Martin, and could, if we are forced to pay such severance pay, have an adverse effect on our liquidity and cash flows.

Our executive officers and directors possess significant influence over the Company.

Our executive officers and directors possess significant influence over the matters submitted to the stockholders for approval. These matters include the election of directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. This level of influence by the executive officers and directors, gives them substantial ability to determine our future as a business. Any investor who purchases shares in the Company will be a minority stockholder and, as such, will have little say in the direction of the Company and the election of directors. As a potential investor in the Company, you should keep in mind that even if you own shares of the Company's common stock and wish to vote them at annual or special stockholder meetings, your shares will likely have little effect on the outcome of corporate decisions.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws limit the liability of, and provide indemnification for, our officers and directors.

Our Certificate of Incorporation generally limits our officers’ and directors’ personal liability to the Company and its stockholders for breach of a fiduciary duty as an officer or director except for breach of the duty of loyalty or acts or omissions not made in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, provide indemnification for our officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law against all expense, liability, and loss, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement reasonably incurred or suffered by an officer or director in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "Proceeding") to which the officer or director is made a party or is threatened to be made a party, or in which the officer or director is involved by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer or director of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company whether the basis of the Proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as an officer or director, or in any other capacity while serving as an officer or director. Thus, the Company may be prevented from recovering damages for certain alleged errors or omissions by the officers and directors for liabilities incurred in connection with their good faith acts for the Company. Such an indemnification payment might deplete the Company's assets. Stockholders who have questions regarding the fiduciary obligations of the officers and directors of the Company should consult with independent legal counsel. It is the position of the SEC that exculpation from and indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink® market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “PSWW”. The market for our common stock is, and will likely continue to be, volatile, sporadic and illiquid. We anticipate that the market for our common stock will be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:

Furthermore, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for certain customers. FINRA requirements will likely make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the shares, resulting in fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our shares, potentially reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is deemed a “penny stock” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.

Our Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our shares. If our shares are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

We have not paid, and we are unlikely to pay in the near future, cash dividends on our Common Stock. As a result, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our Common Stock appreciates.

We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock, and we do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends by us will depend on our future earnings, financial condition, and such other business and economic factors as our management may consider relevant. As a result, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment will be if the market price of our Common Stock appreciates and you sell your shares at a profit.

State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell shares of our Common Stock.

Secondary trading in our common stock may not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock cannot be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for our common stock could be significantly impacted.

Significant sales of our Common Stock, or the perception that significant sales may occur in the future, could adversely affect the market price for our shares.

Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market by us or our stockholders could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our shares and could cause the market price to remain low for a substantial amount of time. We cannot foresee the impact of such potential sales on the market, but it is possible that if a significant percentage of such available shares were attempted to be sold within a short period of time, the market for our shares would be adversely affected. It is also unclear whether the market for our Common Stock could absorb a large number of attempted sales in a short period of time, regardless of the price at which they might be offered. Even if a substantial number of sales do not occur within a short period of time, the mere existence of this “market overhang” could have a negative impact on the market for our shares and our ability to raise additional capital.

Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley"), as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York Stock Exchanges and the NASDAQ Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the NASDAQ. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions, and because we are only now developing and implementing such measures, our stockholders do not have the full protection such corporate governance measures are designed to afford stockholders.

We will incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public reporting company as well as in connection with Section 404 of Sarbanes Oxley.

We will incur legal, accounting and other expenses in connection with our current status as a reporting public company. Sarbanes-Oxley and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have imposed various requirements on public companies, including required changes in corporate governance practices. As such, our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. Sarbanes-Oxley requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure of controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Our testing may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Our compliance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley and our current status as a reporting public company will require that we incur substantial accounting, legal and filing expenses and expend significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we may need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley in a timely manner, the market price of our stock, if any, could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation authorize us to issue shares of stock, which shares may cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.

We have authorized capital stock consisting of 15,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). As of the date of this filing, we have 5,564,258 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no preferred shares outstanding. As a result, our Board of Directors has the ability to issue a large number of additional shares of common stock without stockholder approval, which if issued could cause substantial dilution to our then stockholders. Additionally, shares of Preferred Stock may be issued by our Board of Directors without stockholder approval with voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and powers as determined by our Board of Directors, which may be greater than the shares of common stock currently outstanding. As a result, shares of Preferred Stock may be issued by our Board of Directors which cause the holders to have super majority voting power over our shares, provide the holders of the Preferred Stock the right to convert the shares of Preferred Stock they hold into shares of our common stock, which may cause substantial dilution to our then common stock stockholders and/or have other rights and preferences greater than those of our common stock stockholders. Investors should keep in mind that the Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock and Preferred Stock, which could cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. Additionally, the dilutive effect of any Preferred Stock, which we may issue may be exacerbated given the fact that such Preferred Stock may have super majority voting rights and/or other rights or preferences which could provide the preferred stockholders with voting control over us subsequent to this Offering and/or give those holders the power to prevent or cause a change in control. As a result, the issuance of shares of common stock and/or Preferred Stock may cause the value of our securities to decrease and/or become worthless.

We have established preferred stock, which our Board of Directors can designate and issue without stockholder approval.

The Company has 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized. Shares of preferred stock of the Company may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which shall have distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The preferred stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as adopted by the Board of Directors. Because the Board of directors is able to designate the powers and preferences of the preferred stock without the vote of a majority of the Company’s stockholders, stockholders of the Company will have no control over what designations and preferences the Company’s preferred stock will have. As a result of this, the Company’s stockholders may have less control over the designations and preferences of the preferred stock and as a result the operations of the Company.

Stockholders who hold unregistered “restricted securities” will be subject to resale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, due to the fact that we are deemed to be a former “shell company.”

Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. While we do not believe that we are currently a “shell company”, we were previously a “shell company” and as such are deemed to be a former “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, and as such, sales of our securities pursuant to Rule 144 may not be able to be made until we are subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act"), and have filed all of our required periodic reports for at least the previous one year period prior to any sale pursuant to Rule 144; and a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 information” has been filed with the Commission reflecting the Company’s status as a non-“shell company.” Because we are deemed to be a former “shell company”, none of our non-registered “restricted securities” will be eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144, until at least a year after the date that our Registration Statement is filed with the Commission, any non-registered securities we sell in the future or issue to consultants or employees, in consideration for services rendered or for any other purpose will have no liquidity until and unless such securities are registered with the Commission and/or until a year after we have complied with the requirements of Rule 144. As a result, it may be harder for us to fund our operations and pay our consultants with our securities instead of cash. Furthermore, it will be harder for us to obtain funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities with the Commission, which could cause us to expend additional resources in the future. Our status as a former “shell company” could prevent us from raising additional funds, engaging consultants, and using our securities to pay for any acquisitions, which could cause the value of our securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless.

We may face substantial penalties under a Registration Rights Agreement and Letter Agreement relating to a requirement to make information publicly available to allow our largest stockholder the ability to sell under Rule 144.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement with Steuben, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement and to take all necessary actions to maintain the availability for Steuben to sell its securities pursuant to Rule 144 for a period ending two years from the date the registration statement became effective, February 3, 2015. If the Company fails to take all necessary actions to maintain the availability to Steuben of Rule 144 for a period ending February 3, 2017, the Company may be obligated to pay to Steuben a penalty of $216,000, thus negatively impacting its cash and its results of operations.

Through our SunGen StepGuys, LLC, wholly-owned subsidiary, we own and operate a roof mounted solar electric generation facility located in Alfred, Maine. The project was designed as a 111 kilowatt direct current that is operating at 120/208 volts providing approximately 124,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. The underlying lease dated September 2009 has a term of 25 years and two 25-year renewal options. There are no lease payments in the lease.

The Company maintains no offices, but has access to shared conference facilities upon request. We believe maintaining an office is not material to the operations of the business.

Liabilities arising from the reverse merger represent long term real estate leases which had been abandoned, general unsecured liabilities, commercial liens, and tax liens filed with various states all associated with the Company’s pre-reverse merger operations, which were unknowingly assumed in the March 2011 reverse merger transaction. The statute of limitations for most of such liabilities is five years and for most liens is ten years, subject to renewal at the lien holders’ option, depending upon the jurisdiction. Although the liens accrue interest at between 8% and 12% per year, the Company has ceased accruing interest as it believes the liability recorded to date is adequate to cover the ultimate claims that may, one day, be presented. Liabilities not associated with a lien have been accrued based upon management’s estimation of the amount to be paid. Liabilities associated with a lien have been accrued at face value. Management believes all such liabilities have been indemnified by Pegasus Funds, LLC (and/or its affiliates or related parties, "Pegasus") to which (including its assigns) the Company issued 534,654 shares of its common stock as part of the reverse merger transaction. However, as the Company is obligor, the Company has recorded the liability. To date, only one lien holder has approached the Company concerning payment. Such lien holder is pursuing the former management of the Company first through litigation. To the extent such lien holder recovers the liability from the former management, the lien against the Company will be reduced.

In March 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Pegasus regarding its indemnification of the Company in regards to the legacy liabilities. In the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to accept the return of 215,154 shares of the original 534,654 shares of its Common Stock issued to Pegasus and its principals and affiliates in acquiring the shell company, Kupper Parker Communications, Inc., which later became Principal Solar, Inc. As the shares of Common Stock were initially issued in a common stock for preferred stock share exchange with Pegasus, the shares returned by Pegasus will be cancelled without further accounting recognition. The cancellation of 50,000 of the shares was effected in December 2015, and the remaining will be recognized for accounting purposes once they are received from Pegasus.

In the settlement with Pegasus, the Company preserved its rights to pursue the individual(s) serving as officers of Kupper Parker Communications, Inc. who, prior to the exchange of shares, had agreed in the Exchange Agreement to "satisfy and assume liability for the payment of any additional liabilities not identified" in the agreement. In April 2015, the Company filed a lawsuit against the remaining individual serving as an officer of Kupper Parker Communications, Inc. prior to the exchange of shares seeking an amount of $991,371 plus accruing interest and legal fees. Any recovery from the lawsuit is uncertain at this time, and such recovery would in no way diminish our potential obligation to third parties.

In December 2013, the Company engaged Carlyle Capital Markets, Inc. and its affiliate, Friedman, Luzzatto & Co. (together "CCMI"), to assist it in identifying sources of and securing financing for its solar projects to be built. CCMI is a firm of three professionals having its sole office in Dallas, Texas and, though having a similar name, is not affiliated with the well-known and respected firm, The Carlyle Group, headquartered in Washington, D.C.

In more than 20 months, CCMI was unable to arrange financing of any type or amount and was unable to even generate enough interest to produce a financing proposal from a prospective investor or lender. With CCMI failing its promise, the Company raised money on its own to maintain operations and further its solar development efforts. Despite CCMI's failure to secure even a single financing proposal (let alone a proposal acceptable to the Company), and despite CCMI having no involvement in non-project related financing efforts undertaken by the Company, CCMI claimed an entitlement to extensive fees.

Initially set for arbitration in February 2016, the parties mediated the matter instead in November 2015 and settled with the Company paying CCMI $1.7 million in connection with the August 2015 assignment of Principal Sunrise IV. Funds to pay the settlement came from the $2.5 million escrow Deposit established concurrent with the assignment of the project. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay CCMI 10% of any proceeds from financing or disposition of Principal Sunrise V (aka IS 42), should such event take place on or before July 30, 2016. The Company has accrued a Commission payable of $600 thousand at December 31, 2015, based upon its expected proceeds from the disposition of Principal Sunrise V, and funds to pay this later amount are expected to come from the disposition of Principal Sunrise V.

In November 2014, the Company entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Vis Solis, Inc. ("VIS"), the minority interest holder of our former Powerhouse One subsidiary, wherein VIS would refer to the Company "economically viable solar generation projects" for acquisition; identify and source engineering procurement and construction firms; identify and source operations and maintenance contractors; among other things necessary to build, own, and operate solar projects. In exchange for its services, VIS would be compensated from the construction and permanent financing arranged by the Company based upon the installed kilowatts of each project the Company accepted, took under contract, and put into commercial operation. Any compensation owing to VIS from the Company under the Services Agreement would be due either at the project’s "Financial Close" or its COD.

In August 2015, the Company assigned its contractual rights to develop, finance, and put into commercial operation its project Principal Sunrise IV to Carolina Energy Partners II, LLC (“CEP”) as the Company had been unable to arrange either construction or permanent financing for this project.

In January 2016, the Company and VIS mediated the matter and reached a settlement wherein the Company will pay VIS $900 thousand to settle all matters between the parties and terminate the original agreement. As a part of its Gain on sale and assignment of assets, the Company has accrued a Commission payable of $900 thousand at December 31, 2015, and funds to pay such amount are expected to come from the earlier of COD of Principal Sunrise IV (upon which the Company expects to receive $1.6 million) or the disposition of Principal Sunrise V, if any.

In March 2015, TCH Principal Solar, LP ("TCH") made two equity investments in our Common Stock (March 5th and 25th) of $500 thousand each. In September 2015, it notified the Company it had realized the Company had completed an issuance of debt securities to Alpha Capital Anstalt, including warrants, immediately before its first equity investment in March and that TCH wanted an "equal deal" despite the disparity of security instruments and other terms. The Company responded to the notice with a list of questions and such questions went unanswered by TCH.

In January 2016, TCH demanded mediation to resolve the matter and the mediation occurred on March 3, 2016. Though not final, the parties have tentatively agreed, subject to appropriate documentation, the Company would pay TCH an amount of $300 thousand and 10% of the proceeds from the disposition of Principal Sunrise V, if and when such occurs, with the total payment not to exceed $800 thousand. The Company has accrued an $800 thousand Mediation settlement at December 31, 2015, and funds to pay such amount are expected to come from proceeds from the disposition of Principal Sunrise V.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink^®market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “PSWW”; however, our securities are currently highly illiquid, subject to large swings in trading price, and are only traded on a sporadic and limited basis.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices per share of our common stock. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices without retail markups, markdowns, or commissions and may not represent actual transactions. For current price information, stockholders or other interested individuals are urged to consult publicly available sources. During the periods presented below trading in our common stock was highly illiquid and sporadic. On May 6, 2015, the Company completed a 1:4 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. Unless otherwise stated or the context would require otherwise, all share amounts disclosed throughout this Annual Report retroactively take into account the Reverse Split.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to devote any earnings to fund the operations and the development of our business.

The following table provides information as of December 31, 2015, regarding the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan under which equity securities are authorized for issuance:

Power generation revenue was $483 thousand in 2015 compared to $975 thousand in 2014, a decrease of $492 thousand; and total cost of revenues was $278 thousand compared to $553 thousand in 2014, a decrease of $275 thousand. Both decreases are due primarily to the sale of our Powerhouse One subsidiary in August 2015 (effective July 1, 2015).

The increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $168 thousand was comprised of:

Due to movements in the price of the Company's stock, the withdrawal of a public offering, and uncertainty surrounding the Company's future prospects, our independent valuation firm estimated a decline at September 30, 2015, in the value of the warrants issued to Alpha Capital Anstalt in connection with the March 2, 2015, issuance of debentures. As a result, the value of the derivative liability was reduced to zero and the Company recorded a gain of $1.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2015. Because all principal and interest pursuant to the debentures was repaid in August 2015, and the element of the debt giving rise to the derivative liability was eliminated, no future valuation adjustments will be made.

Significant changes in the balance sheet between December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, include the following:

In August 2015, the Company sold its primary source of revenue, Powerhouse One representing 96% of its historical revenues. Also in August 2015, the Company assigned its interest in its most advanced solar project then under development, Principal Sunrise IV. Proceeds from these two transactions, approximately $11.6 million, was used to repay debts, repay other current obligations, fund the continued development of Principal Sunrise V, and fund ongoing administrative needs. Still, the company has significant negative working capital.

Stemming from its assignment of Principal Sunrise IV in August 2015, the Company is owed $1.6 million at COD from the Assignee. Latest estimates target COD in early May 2016.

The above two items represent the Company's total expected near-term funding, against which settlements, debt repayment, and other obligations range between $3.2 and $4.5 million leaving the Company with funds estimated to range between $2.0 million and $7.3 million to potentially develop and execute a new business strategy. Unlike in prior periods, the Company considers it unlikely that it will raise additional funds through the sale of debt or equity securities in the near term.

On March 2, 2015, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement ("MIPA") with Innovative Solar Systems, LLC, a solar developer operating primarily in North Carolina, to acquire Innovative Solar 42, LLC ("IS 42"), the owner of a 72.9mw AC solar project to be built in Fayetteville, North Carolina. PSI agreed to pay Innovative Solar Systems, LLC $5,832,000 for 100% of the membership interest of IS 42 in a series of payments between execution of the MIPA and the financial close, and a total of $1.5 million has been paid to date. As a part of the potential disposition of IS 42, the seller has agreed to defer all remaining payments to a cumulative amount of 90% of the purchase price to financial close, with the remaining 10% paid at COD. Failure by the Company to make any of the future payments may result in the loss of all payments made to date.

The financial statements and schedules are listed in Part IV, Item 15 of this Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions in connection with required disclosure.

The Company's principal executive officer and its principal financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2015, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2015, were effective.

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

In connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements, we have assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework (2013). Our assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.

Based upon our evaluation, we have determined that, as of December 31, 2015, there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) Auditing Standard No. 5, a material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The material weaknesses identified during management’s assessment were (i) a lack of segregation of duties to ensure adequate review of financial transactions, (ii) a lack of written policies and procedures surrounding the accumulation and summarization of financial transactions, and (iii) a lack of documentation evidencing the controls that do exist were operating effectively. In light of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

During 2015, our accounting staff consisted of a single individual, our Chief Financial Officer, and an outsourced accounting function. Except for purposes of building and maintaining an environment of strong internal controls over financial reporting, our business model does not require an accounting staff beyond two or three individuals. As such, the Company may never achieve an effective control environment completely lacking of material control weaknesses.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures provide the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer with reasonable assurances that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, the Company’s management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within the Company’s company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.

We are a smaller reporting company and are required to comply with the internal control reporting and disclosure requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for fiscal years ending on or after July 15, 2007. Although we are working to comply with these requirements, we have limited financial personnel making compliance with Section 404 - especially with segregation of duty control requirements – very difficult, if not impossible, and cost prohibitive. While the SEC has indicated it expects to issue supplementary regulations easing the burden of Section 404 requirements for small entities like us, such regulations have not yet been issued.

This report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. Under SEC rules, such attestation is not required for smaller reporting companies.

Directors are elected to hold office for a term of two years, until the next applicable annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Officers serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Company had assembled a leadership team with a strong mix of senior executive experience across energy, consulting, procurement, corporate development, technology, sales and marketing, and that leadership is expected to change.

The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other matters: (i) appointing, retaining, and evaluating our independent registered public accounting firm and approving all services to be performed by them, (ii) overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance, (iii) overseeing the financial reporting process and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm the interim and annual financial statements that we file with the SEC, (iv) reviewing and monitoring our accounting principles, accounting policies, financial and accounting controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (v) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters, and (vi) reviewing and approving related person transactions.

Our Audit Committee consists of Chairperson, Ms. Keliher, and Messrs. Heller and Seidel. While we are not required to so qualify, we believe each of these individuals qualify as independent directors according to NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2) entitled "Board of Directors and Committees" with respect to audit committee membership. We also believe that Ms. Keliher and Mr. Heller each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K.

Our Nominating / Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other matters: (i) overseeing the organization of our Board of Directors to discharge the board’s duties and responsibilities properly and efficiently, (ii) identifying best practices and recommending corporate governance principles, (iii) developing and recommending to our Board of Directors a set of corporate governance guidelines and principles applicable to us, and (iv) reviewing and approving proposed conflicted transactions between us and an affiliated party

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other matters: (i) reviewing and approving our Chief Executive Officer’s and other executive officers’ annual base salaries, incentive compensation plans, including the specific goals and amounts, equity compensation, employment agreements, severance arrangements and change in control agreements, and any other benefits, compensation or arrangements, (ii) administering our equity compensation plan, (iii) overseeing our overall compensation philosophy, compensation plan and benefits programs, and (iv) preparing the compensation committee report included in our annual proxy statement.

Our Compensation Committee consists of Chairperson, Ms. Jackson, and Mr. Marmol. While we are not required to so qualify, we believe each of these individuals qualify as independent directors according to NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2) entitled "Board of Directors and Committees" and each is an outside director as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Board met 25 times in 2015, and no member of the Board attended fewer than 75% of the meetings. The Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee each met once during 2015.

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct covering all of our officers, Directors and employees in order to promote:

A copy of the Code of Business Conduct has been posted on our website at www.PrincipalSolar.com and is available, without charge, to any person upon written request sent to: Secretary, Principal Solar, Inc., 2560 King Arthur Blvd Suite 124 PMB 65 Lewisville, TX 75056. We intend to disclose amendments to, or waivers from, a provision in our Code of Business Conduct by posting such information on our website: www.PrincipalSolar.com.

Effective risk oversight is an important priority of the Board of Directors. Because risks are considered in virtually every business decision, the Board of Directors discusses risk throughout the year generally or in connection with specific proposed actions. The Board of Directors’ approach to risk oversight includes understanding the critical risks in the Company’s business and strategy, evaluating the Company’s risk management processes, allocating responsibilities for risk oversight among the full Board of Directors, and fostering an appropriate culture of integrity and compliance with legal responsibilities.

The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors has the sole authority to determine the number of members of the Board of Directors of the Company. There are no agreements with respect to the election of directors. Our Bylaws further provide that vacancies on our Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors even if such majority is less than a quorum, or by the plurality of votes cast at a meeting of stockholders.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides that a corporation may, in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto, eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for violations of the director’s fiduciary duty, except (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, which provides for liability of directors for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions or (4) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, including an officer or director, who is, or is threatened to be made, party to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of such corporation, by reason of the fact that such person was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the corporation’s best interest and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any officer or director in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses that such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred. Our certificate of incorporation provides for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law.

Our Bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers, Directors and other agents acting on our behalf if this person is not adjudged guilty of willful nonfeasance, misfeasance or malfeasance in the performance of his duties.

We have purchased insurance on behalf of us and any person who is or was a director or officer against any loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in that capacity, subject to certain exclusions and limits of the amount of coverage we ultimately obtain. Neither our Bylaws nor our certificate of incorporation include any specific indemnification provisions for our officers or directors against liability under the Securities Act. Additionally, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Any stockholders wishing to communicate directly with one or more of the Directors can do so by addressing such communication to Michael Gorton, Chief Executive Officer, at the address on the cover page of this report. All such communications will be forwarded promptly to all Board members.

The following summary compensation table indicates the cash and non-cash compensation earned during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 by (i) our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer), (ii) our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), and (iii) up to two additional most highly compensated executive officers other than our CEO and CFO who were serving as executive officers at the end of our last completed fiscal year whose total compensation exceeded $100,000 during such fiscal year ends.

Set forth below is the compensation received by each of our directors during the last fiscal year, other than executive directors whose compensation is reported in the table above.

Our current policy is to compensate directors with a grant of options to acquire 18,000 shares of our Common Stock when joining the Board and upon their re-election every two years thereafter. The options vest over the Director's two-year term. Additionally, the Company reimburses reasonable travel expenses for attendance at Board meetings. Options to purchase 18,000 shares of our Common Stock were granted to each of two Directors upon their re-election in 2015.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Michael Gorton to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The agreement remains in effect until the Board of Directors terminates Mr. Gorton’s employment with the Company or Mr. Gorton resigns with 30 days’ notice. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Gorton (a) $22,000 per month ($264,000 per year, as adjusted from time-to-time) during the term of the agreement; and (b) an additional $2,000 per month for the first 18 months of the agreement to repay accrued compensation due to Mr. Gorton. Additionally pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse up to $170 of monthly cell phone expenses and up to $1,000 in health insurance premiums. Mr. Gorton is provided four weeks of vacation per year pursuant to the agreement. The Company can terminate the agreement at any time with or without cause, provided that if the Company terminates the agreement without cause, it is required to pay Mr. Gorton, all salary due as of the date of such termination, plus one year of severance pay (at his then applicable salary) and all unvested options held by Mr. Gorton, if any, vest immediately. Termination for cause under the agreement includes Mr. Gorton’s willful misconduct or habitual neglect in the performance of his duties, conviction for any felony involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude, a material breach of the agreement which remains uncured for 10 days after written notice of such breach by the Company, the material violation of the Company’s policies, or the material dishonesty, moral turpitude, fraud or misrepresentation with respect to Mr. Gorton’s duties under the agreement. In the event Mr. Gorton resigns from the Company for any reason, or upon Mr. Gorton’s death, the Company is required to pay Mr. Gorton, all salary due as of the date of such termination, plus one year of severance pay (at his then applicable salary) and all unvested options held by Mr. Gorton, if any, vest immediately. In the event of the termination of Mr. Gorton’s employment agreement for cause or disability, the Company is only required to pay him any salary and other benefits earned as of the date of termination. Mr. Gorton's current base compensation is $288,000 per year.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with R. Michael Martin to serve as the Company’s Executive Vice President Business Development. The agreement remains in effect until the Board of Directors terminates Mr. Martin’s employment with the Company or Mr. Martin resigns with 30 days’ notice. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Martin $16,000 per month ($192,000 per year, as adjusted from time-to-time) during the term of the agreement. Additionally pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse up to $170 of monthly cell phone expenses and up to $1,000 in health insurance premiums. Mr. Martin is provided four weeks of vacation per year pursuant to the agreement. The Company can terminate the agreement at any time with or without cause, provided that if the Company terminates the agreement without cause, it is required to pay Mr. Martin, all salary due as of the date of such termination, plus six months of severance pay (at his then applicable salary) and all unvested options held by Mr. Martin, if any, vest immediately. Termination for cause under the agreement includes Mr. Martin’s willful misconduct or habitual neglect in the performance of his duties, conviction for any felony involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude, a material breach of the agreement which remains uncured for 10 days after written notice of such breach by the Company, the material violation of the Company’s policies, or the material dishonesty, moral turpitude, fraud or misrepresentation with respect to Mr. Martin’s duties under the agreement. In the event Mr. Martin resigns from the Company for any reason, or upon Mr. Martin’s death, the Company is required to pay Mr. Martin, all salary due as of the date of such termination, plus one year of severance pay (at his then applicable salary) and all unvested options held by Mr. Martin, if any, vest immediately. In the event of the termination of Mr. Martin’s employment agreement for cause or disability, the Company is only required to pay him any salary and other benefits earned as of the date of termination. Mr. Martin's current base compensation is $216,000 per year.

In January 2014, we entered into a Professional Services Agreement with DNP Financial, LLC (“DNP”), pursuant to which DNP made its principal, David N. Pilotte, available to the Company as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Specifically, pursuant to the Professional Services Agreement, we agreed to pay DNP $275 per hour for Mr. Pilotte’s time, plus reimburse it for expenses incurred by Mr. Pilotte. The Professional Services Agreement may be terminated by either party upon sixty (60) days written notice to the other party or immediately by the Company upon written notice to DNP evidencing default of its obligations under the agreement. DNP and the Company have since modified the agreement providing for a fixed retainer of $30,000 per month.

We design our executive compensation program with the goal of achieving the following objectives:

We expect that our executive officer compensation plans will include some combination of the following elements of compensation that are generally recognized as important in attracting and retaining qualified individuals:

The following table presents certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock as of the date of this Annual Report by (i) each person who owns beneficially more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of common stock based on 5,564,258 shares outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report, (ii) each of our directors, (iii) each named executive officer and (iv) all directors and officers as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, all shares are owned directly.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes voting and/or investing power with respect to securities. We believe that, except as otherwise noted and subject to applicable community property laws, each person named in the following table has sole investment and voting power with respect to the shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by such person. Additionally, shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or other convertible securities that are currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days of the date of this Annual Report, are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person or group holding such options, warrants or other convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person or group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or group.

The address for each of our directors and named executive officers is 2560 King Arthur Blvd Suite 124 PMB 65

In June 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan ("Plan") providing for the future issuance of options, restricted stock, performance units, share appreciation rights, and similar equity incentive-type awards for officers, Board members, employees, and advisors to the Company. All options previously issued outside of a written plan were adopted by the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and shall be governed thereafter by the Plan.

The following table provides information as of December 31, 2015, regarding the Plan under which equity securities are authorized for issuance:

Effective June 14, 2013, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Steuben Investment Company II, L.P. Pursuant to the subscription agreement, Steuben purchased 727,273 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate of $1,600,000 or $2.20 per share. As additional consideration in connection with the subscription, the Company granted Steuben warrants to purchase 545,455 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $4.00 per share and a term of 10 years. The Company also provided Steuben registration rights. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement and to take all necessary actions to maintain the availability for Steuben to sell its securities pursuant to Rule 144 for a period ending two years from the date the registration statement became effective, February 3, 2015. If the Company fails to take all necessary actions to maintain the availability to Steuben of Rule 144 for a period ending February 3, 2017, the Company may be obligated to pay to Steuben a penalty of $216,000, thus negatively impacting its cash and its results of operations.

In November 2014, all 545,455 warrants held by Steuben and described above were exercised by the holder in a cashless transaction as provided for in the warrant agreement. Based upon a share valuation of $6.00 per share determined by the Company's Board of Directors based upon concurrent issuances, the exercise of warrants to acquire 545,455 shares of Common Stock on a cashless basis resulted in a net issuance to Steuben of 181,818 shares of Common Stock. The final settlement of the liability upon exercise resulted in a gain of $32,239 recognized in 2014.

From May 2013 through October 2014, we sold an aggregate of 481,500 shares of our restricted common stock to 15 "accredited investors" (individuals and trusts) at price of $4.00 per share resulting in total proceeds to the Company of $1.9 million in aggregate. Purchasers in the offering included Guillermo Marmol, our director (50,000 shares); Jeffrey M. Heller, our director (100,000 shares); Brenda Jackson, our director (75,000 shares); Garrett Boone, our director (50,000 shares); and the wife of our CFO, David Pilotte (5,000 shares).

From November 2014 through March 2015, we sold an aggregate of 288,173 shares of our restricted common stock to seven of our Board members, two current investors, our former CFO, a close relative of our CEO, and two business partners of an existing investor. Each sale was at a price of $6.00 per share resulting in total proceeds to the Company of $1.7 million in aggregate. Board members participating in the offering included Guillermo Marmol (16,667 shares); Jeffrey M. Heller (29,167 shares); Brenda Jackson (12,500 shares); Garrett Boone (834 shares); Ron Seidel (2,500 shares); Margaret Keliher (5,000 shares); and Michael Gorton (6,667 shares).

Certain members of the management team have deferred payment of their compensation for the benefit of the Company. No formal terms of payment have been established. The amounts payable as of December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014 were $390,702, and $1,076,448, respectively.

In June 2014, the Company issued convertible notes of $250,000 each to two of its Board members, Messrs. Heller and Marmol, to fund deposits on potential future acquisitions. The notes bore interest at a rate of 18% per year and matured on December 5, 2014, and all principal and interest was due at maturity. Principal and interest was payable in cash or shares of Common Stock, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $4.00 per share. The notes were secured pursuant to a security agreement by the Company's interest in the otherwise unencumbered net cash flow, if any, from the operations of its Powerhouse One subsidiary. The Company could prepay the notes at any time, but the holders of the notes were guaranteed to receive a minimum of six months interest on the notes. On February 27, 2015 (made effective on the original maturity date), the notes were modified to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2015, to reduce the interest rate from 18% to 12% per annum, and to eliminate all collateral securing the notes. All other aspects of the notes remained unchanged. In August 2015, all principal and interest was paid in full.

On December 1, 2014, Michael Gorton, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, loaned to the Company pursuant to a convertible promissory note the amount of $130,000. The note initially matured on June 30, 2015, bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum, was convertible into shares of our Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share, and was secured by a claim on proceeds, if any, of a solar project being acquired (PS IV). The notes could be prepaid at any time prior to maturity without penalty. On February 27, 2015, the note was modified to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2015, and eliminate all collateral securing the note. All other aspects of the note remained unchanged. In August 2015, all principal and interest pursuant was paid in full.

In August 2015, a contractor to the Company made a short-term loan to the Company in the amount of $240,293 under a short-term promissory note. In August 2015, all principal and interest pursuant to the short-term promissory note was paid in full. The note bore a flat fee of $36,000 that was recorded as interest expense, and was scheduled to mature on October 3, 2015. In August 2015, all principal and interest was paid in full.

In June 2014, the Company re-priced 24,000 options granted to independent advisors between February 2012 and September 2012. The options, originally issued having exercise prices ranging from $5.64 to $6.84 per share, were re-priced to $4.00 per share. Because of the small change in inputs to the Black-Scholes model since they were initially issued (especially volatility), there was no expense recorded in connection with this action.

Pursuant to its 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, during the period June through October 2014, the Company granted to its key executives, independent contractors, new Board members, and one key advisor (our former CFO), options to acquire 307,257 shares of its Common Stock. The options have an exercise price of $4.00 per share and have expiration dates of 5 years for the advisor and 10 years for key executives, independent contractors, and Board members. Vesting ranges from (i) immediately upon grant for non-employee executives and independent contractors with extended expiration privileges based upon their continued services to the Company, (ii) 24 months for Board members starting when they joined the Board, and (iii) 36 months for employees. All options were valued using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and resulted in an expense of $1,044,130 recognized during 2014.

All options were valued using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and resulted in an expense of $1,044,130 recognized during 2014.

During 2015 and pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted to its Board members options to acquire 85,250 shares of its Common Stock. The options have an exercise price of $6.00 per share, vested in period ranging from immediate to 8 months, and have expiration dates of 10 years from the date of grant. All options were valued using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and resulted in an expense of $398,482 recognized during 2015.

Our then current Board of Directors member, Scott Olson, negotiated the May 6, 2015, placement of our Series A Preferred stock yielding a potential $2,000,000 in proceeds to the Company. Though no agreement exists today, the Company's Board may, at some point in the future, determine an appropriate discretionary compensation for his service, and such compensation could be material.

Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval, or ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive officers, Directors and significant stockholders. However, all of the transactions described above were approved and ratified by our officers and/or Directors. In connection with the approval of the transactions described above, our officers and/or directors took into account various factors, including their fiduciary duty to the Company; the relationships of the related parties described above to the Company; the material facts underlying each transaction; the anticipated benefits to the Company and related costs associated with such benefits; whether comparable products or services were available; and the terms the Company could receive from an unrelated third party.

We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval, or ratification of our Board of Directors, or an appropriate committee thereof. On a moving forward basis, our officers and directors will continue to approve any related party transaction based on the criteria set forth above.

The following table sets forth the fees billed for professional services performed by Whitley Penn LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

It is the policy of our Board of Directors that all services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, including audit services and permitted audit-related and non-audit services, must be pre-approved by our Board. Our Board of Directors pre-approved all services, audit and non-audit, provided in 2015 and 2014.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Principal Solar, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. The Company has negative cash flows from operating activities, negative working capital, and an accumulated deficit of $11.0 million as of December 31, 2015. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - OVERVIEW

The Company

Principal Solar, Inc. (“PSI”, the “Company”, “our”, “us”, or “we”) was incorporated on July 8, 2010, under the laws of the State of Texas and became a New York corporation upon consummation of a reverse merger. On March 7, 2011, the Company was acquired by Kupper Parker Communications, Inc. (“KPCG”), then a public shell company, in a reverse merger transaction whereby KPCG merged with and into PSI, with KPCG remaining as the surviving corporation and PSI becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of KPCG. In connection with the merger, the Company changed its corporate name from “Kupper Parker Communications, Inc.” to “Principal Solar, Inc.”. In accordance with the terms of this transaction, the shareholders of PSI exchanged all of their shares of PSI's $.01 par value common stock ("Common Stock") for shares of KPCG common stock that, immediately following the transaction, represented approximately 82 percent of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

In October 2012, the Company was re-domiciled in Delaware. The Company was authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $.01 per share and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share ("Preferred Stock"). In April 2016, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation reducing authorized shares to 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Par value of $.01 per share remained unchanged.

PSI is traded on the OTCPink^®market under the symbol "PSWW".

Business

Historically, our business plan has been to acquire, build, own, and operate profitable, large-scale solar generation facilities (collectively, "solar development"). The Company has failed to secure sufficient project financing to build large-scale solar generation facilities as planned, and is not considering any new large utility-scale solar projects at this time. Currently, the Company is negotiating to assign its interest in its Sunrise V (IS 42) project in order to create liquidity or otherwise remove obligations of the Company regarding current projects. See "Disposition of Sunrise V". The consummation of any agreement is subject to entering into a separate construction contract, and final closing is subject to the buyer securing financing and other conditions, some of which may be beyond the Company’s control. If all of the conditions are satisfied, the consummation of the assignment is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2016. See discussion below under "Disposition of Principal Sunrise V". The Company is also considering disposition of its remaining development projects acquired in partnership with Arowana International Limited ("Arowana"). See discussion herein under “Additional Projects”. Successful disposition of one or more of the Company's projects is necessary to the Company's ability to meet its obligations coming due during 2016. Failure to complete the dispositions, or complete them on expected terms, could cause the Company to lose its cumulative investment in one or more of the projects and cause it to cease operations.

The Company sold its primary operating facility, Powerhouse One, LLC, effective July 1, 2015, from which it had generated approximately 96% of its revenues in 2015 and 2014. The remaining operating facility, SunGen StepGuys, LLC, was written-off in December 2015, as an impaired asset.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented have been reflected herein.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $11.0 million, and the Company has had negative cash flows from operations since inception. Further, the Company is not considering any new large utility-scale solar projects at this time. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to collect its amounts receivable and dispose of its remaining development assets under development in order to meet its obligations, pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and potentially develop and execute upon a new business strategy. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

F-7

Concentration

Historically, approximately 96% of our consolidated power generation revenue arose from our Powerhouse One solar installation. The Powerhouse One subsidiary was sold in August 2015 (see NOTE 5, "Sale of Powerhouse One").

Reverse Stock Split

On May 5, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders representing a majority of the shares outstanding on that date voted to effect a 1:4 reverse stock split (the "May 2015 Reverse"). Unless otherwise stated or the context would require otherwise, all share amounts disclosed throughout these financial statements retroactively take into account the May 2015 Reverse, and all resulting fractional share amounts have been rounded to the nearest whole share. On May 6, 2015, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware reflecting the May 2015 Reverse.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. This guidance is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2017 (updated per ASU 2015-14), and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is not permitted. We expect the new guidance will have no impact on the Company's current revenue recognition policy.

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-02 Consolidation (Topic 810) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which affects the following areas of the consolidation analysis: limited partnerships and similar entities, evaluation of fees paid to a decision maker or service provider as a variable interest and in determination of the primary beneficiary, effect of related parties on the primary beneficiary determination and for certain investment funds. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods beginning after December 31, 2017. We are evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30)" entitled "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs". Effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, the statement provides that debt issuance costs are reflected as a discount to the debt on the Balance Sheet and amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the debt. While we have incurred such debt issuance costs in the past, such amounts have not been material, and we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 7400) - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes". ASU 2015-17 requires deferred tax assets to be presented separately from deferred tax liabilities, and further requires that each be presented as non-current in a classified Balance Sheet. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)". ASU 2016-02 requires all leases in excess of 12 months to be reported on the balance sheet as a liability based on the net present value of the expected lease payments, and a right-to-use asset for the term of the lease. On the statement of operations, capital leases will continue to be treated as financing transactions, meaning interest and amortization will be included as rent expense. Because interest is calculated on a declining balance over time, the cost of capital leases will look more expensive at the beginning of a lease. Leases that qualify as operating leases will be reported as rent expense. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

F-8

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of all majority-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company (including the dba Principal Solar Institute) and its subsidiaries SunGen Mill 77, LLC; SunGen Step Guys, LLC; and Powerhouse One, LLC (through the date of sale, July 1, 2015). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We believe the carrying values of our current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values, and the carrying value of our notes payable approximate their estimated fair value for debts with similar terms, interest rates, and remaining maturities currently available to companies with similar credit ratings.

All related party transactions are evaluated by our officers and/or Board of Directors who take into account various factors, including their fiduciary duty to the Company; the relationships of the related parties to the Company; the material facts underlying each transaction; the anticipated benefits to the Company and related costs associated with such benefits; and the terms the Company could receive from an unrelated third party. Despite this review, related party transactions may not be recorded at fair value.

We do not engage in hedging activities, but did have a derivative instrument treated as a liability whose value was measured on a recurring basis (see "Fair Value Instruments" and "Derivative Liability on Warrants" included herein).

Fair Value Instruments

On March 2, 2015, the Company entered into a convertible debenture with Alpha Capital Anstalt ("Alpha") (See NOTE 6 - "Convertible Debenture (Alpha)"). In connection with the loan, the Company granted Alpha complex warrants with certain "down round" protection. As such, they were treated as a derivative liability and were valued using a binomial lattice-based option valuation model using holding period assumptions developed from the Company's business plan and management assumptions, and expected volatility from comparable companies including OTC Pink® and small-cap companies. Increases or decreases in the Company's share price, the volatility of the share price, changes in interest rates in general, and the passage of time all impacted the value of these warrants. The Company re-values these warrants at the end of each reporting period and any changes are reflected as gains or losses in current period results. (See NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY ON WARRANTS). In August 2015, all principal and interest pursuant to the convertible debenture was paid in full thus eliminating the terms giving rise to a potential down round price adjustment of the warrants. As such, a final re-valuation as of the repayment date was recorded and the warrants are now considered equity instruments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to, on an ongoing basis, make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported values of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for our conclusions. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Such differences could have a material impact on our future financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

F-9

Cash and Equivalents

We consider cash, deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash and equivalents. Our deposits are maintained primarily in two financial institutions and, at times, may exceed amounts covered by U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance.

Restricted Cash

As part of the June 2013 financing with Bridge Bank, National Association (see "Acquisition Note Payable" herein), the Company agreed to maintain in a restricted cash account all proceeds, less debt service and approved expenses, generated by our Powerhouse One subsidiary. In August 2015, all principal and interest pursuant to the Acquisition Note Payable was paid in full and the requirement to restrict cash was eliminated.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at amounts management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of individual accounts. No allowance has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Solar Arrays

Solar arrays are stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of solar arrays are 25 years from the date first placed in service. Accumulated depreciation was $0 and $496,894 at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. During the construction period, all costs and expenses related to the development and construction of a project, excluding administrative expenses, are recorded as construction in process.

In each case where a solar array is installed on property subject to a real estate lease, the Company is obligated to remove such installation at the end of the lease terms. As the expected termination dates including renewal periods are decades off (2041-2084); there is little experience uninstalling solar arrays anywhere in the world; costs are expected to be minimal; and the scrap value of the materials is expected to exceed the cost of removal, such removal costs have not been separately accounted for.

Construction in Progress

The Company records as Construction in Progress those items of a capital and expense nature necessary to develop, construct, and place into service a solar project. Such costs consists primarily of the cost of the project company's acquisition rights, equipment costs, interconnection costs, and the costs of independent engineers, valuation firms, and rent, property taxes, financing costs, and insurance during the construction period.

Long-Lived Assets

The recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets is assessed when an indicator of impairment has been identified.

For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset or group of assets is combined with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.

For long-lived assets, when impairment indicators are present, the Company compares undiscounted future cash flows, including the eventual disposition of the asset group at market value, to the asset group’s carrying value to determine if the asset group is recoverable. If undiscounted cash flows are less than carrying value, the excess of carrying value over fair value is expensed in the period in which it is estimated to have occurred. Impairment charges were reported in both 2015 and 2014 and are presented in the Statement of Operations.

Revenue Recognition

Power generation revenue is recognized as delivered to the purchaser based upon electrical meters affixed to the solar array and measuring kilowatt-hours produced. Our current power generation operations do not generate renewable energy credits, performance-based incentives, or similar credits to the benefit of the Company.

F-10

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded under the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

We account for uncertain income tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740 entitled "Income Taxes". Interest costs and penalties related to income taxes are classified as interest expense and general and administrative costs, respectively, in our consolidated financial statements. Income tax returns are subject to a three-year statute of limitations during which they are subject to audit and adjustment. We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and certain states.

Equity Transaction Fair Values

The estimated fair value of our Common Stock issued in share-based payments is measured by the more relevant of (1) the prices received in private placement sales of our stock or (2) the Company's publically-quoted market price. We estimate the fair value of simple warrants and stock options when issued or, in the case of issuances to non-employees, when vested, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing ("Black-Scholes") model that requires the input of subjective assumptions. When valuing more complex warrants, options, or other derivative equity instruments, we use a binomial lattice-based option pricing model or Monte Carlo option pricing model, whichever management deems more appropriate under the circumstances. Recognition in stockholders’ equity and expense of the fair value of stock options awarded to employees is on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net income or loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution of derivative securities by including other potential issuances of Common Stock including shares to be issued upon exercise of options and warrants and upon conversion of convertible debt. Potentially dilutive shares are not included in the event of a loss as the effect of doing so would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2015, options to purchase 794,816 shares, and warrants to purchase 550,434 shares of our Common Stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2014, options to purchase 716,065 shares and warrants to purchase 42,138 shares of our Common Stock, and 146,667 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes payable have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 5 - DISPOSAL OF ASSETS

Assignment of Principal Sunrise IV

On August 11, 2015, the Company assigned its contractual rights under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement ("MIPA") to acquire Principal Sunrise IV for the amount of $7.0 million and the reimbursement of its advances to date under the MIPA of $4.7 million. The balance of proceeds of $1.6 million is due at the project's commercial operation date, expected to be early May 2016, pending the Company's completing its on-going responsibilities as co-developer including, but not limited to, advising on engineering matters, providing technical assistance on project design, overseeing substation design and construction, organizing documentation and permitting, interpreting test results, and opining on final acceptance matters. Gain on the assignment of Principal Sunrise IV totaled $4.2 million after transaction costs of approximately $136 thousand.

Proceeds from the assignment were used to repay outstanding debts (other than the Acquisition Note Payable and the note payable for insurance premiums) and to redeem preferred stock. Assigning its rights to Principal Sunrise IV also relieved the Company of ongoing payment obligations totaling more than $500 thousand per month, eliminated the costs of ongoing development efforts, and eliminated a contingent liability under an $800 thousand letter of credit. Using the proceeds, the Company was also able to reduce its deferred compensation ($1.2 million) and its accounts payable.

In addition to the amounts owed by the assignee to the Company at the project’s commercial operation date, the assignee owes the seller, Innovative Solar Systems, LLC, an additional $600 thousand. If the assignee, for whatever reason, fails to pay the amount due the seller, the Company has agreed to do so thereby creating a contingent liability of the Company. No liability has been recorded in the financial statements as the failure of the assignee to pay the amount when due is not probable. See NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.

Sale of Powerhouse One

In July 2015, the Company decided to sell Powerhouse One in order to 1) focus full attention to our current projects under development 2) eliminate an asset having a high level of debt service costs, and 3) raise cash to meet upcoming debt obligations. As a part of the transaction, the buyer repaid all principal and interest pursuant to the Acquisition Note Payable at closing.

Gain on the sale of Powerhouse One totaled $644 thousand, and proceeds of $1.6 million, net of transaction costs totaling $244 thousand, were used to further reduce accounts payable, deferred compensation, and for general working capital purposes.

F-12

Pretax profit from Powerhouse One recognized by the Company was $223,045 in 2015 (excluding the gain on sale) and $405,364 in 2014.

ASU No. 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity" restricts the presentation of the sale of a component of an entity as a "discontinued operation" to those instances reflecting a strategic shift in the business. Our sale of Powerhouse One does not reflect a strategic shift in the business, so our presentation of the sale herein does not reflect a discontinued operation.

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE

Acquisition Note Payable

On June 17, 2013, Powerhouse One, LLC secured financing of $5,050,000 from Bridge Bank, National Association to acquire the membership interest (and the underlying solar arrays) of co-sellers, Vis Solis, Inc., a Tennessee limited liability company, and AstroSol, Inc., a Tennessee corporation. The note bore a fixed interest rate of 7.5% annually. In August 2015, as a part of the disposal of Powerhouse One, all principal and interest pursuant to the Acquisition Note Payable was paid in full.

In conjunction with the acquisition note payable, warrants to purchase 37,763 shares of Common Stock were issued to Bridge Bank with an exercise price of $4.00 and a contractual life of 10 years. The value of the warrants issued in connection with this debt, as determined using the Black-Scholes model, was $81,449 and was recorded as a discount to the debt. Amortization expense was $50,057 and $20,363 in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Bridge Bank warrants have cashless exercise rights, redemption rights providing the Company the right to redeem the warrants for $604,200, anti-dilution rights associated with subsequent offerings of equity securities, a term expiring on the first to occur of (i) the 10 year anniversary of the grant, (ii) the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, or (iii) the liquidation of the Company (each a “Termination Event”). In each case, unless exercised earlier, the warrants are automatically exercised on a cashless basis upon a Termination Event. The Company also provided the holder registration rights in connection with the grant of the warrants.

Convertible Debenture (Alpha)

On March 2, 2015, the Company entered into a convertible debenture with Alpha Capital Anstalt ("Alpha") to borrow $1,250,000. In August 2015, all principal and interest pursuant to the convertible debenture was paid in full.

The debenture was convertible into shares of Common Stock at a rate of $4.00 per share, bore interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, and all principal and interest was due on September 2, 2015. The debenture also contained certain "down round" protection that, due to its short maturity, the prohibition in the debenture of issuing further debt, and management's assessment of the probability of issuing future convertible debt below $4.00 as remote, no separate value had been assigned to this aspect of the debt. In connection with the Loan, the Company granted Alpha 234,375 warrants having a term of 66 months and an exercise price of $6.00 per share (See NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY ON WARRANTS).

On May 6, 2015, the Company issued Series A Preferred stock (NOTE 11 “Preferred Stock”) resetting the exercise price of the warrants to $4.00 per share.

On July 1, 2015, the Company issued Convertible Debentures with a conversion price of $.50 per share and warrants exercisable at $6.00 per share (see "Convertible Debentures (TCH)" below). In its consent to this later transaction, Alpha waived its "down round" rights in this single instance.

As the debentures were repaid in full in August 2015, by the terms of the debenture, no further adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants is possible.

Convertible Notes Payable, Related Parties

In June 2014, the Company issued convertible notes of $250,000 each to two of its Board members, Messrs. Heller and Marmol, to fund deposits on potential future acquisitions. In August 2015, all principal and interest pursuant to the convertible notes were paid in full.

F-13

The notes initially bore interest at a rate of 18% per year, and matured on December 5, 2014. In February 2015 (made effective on the original maturity date), the notes were modified to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2015, and to reduce the interest rate from 18% to 12% per annum.

In December 2014, Michael Gorton, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, loaned to the Company pursuant to a convertible note the amount of $130,000. In August 2015, all principal and interest pursuant to the convertible notes were paid in full.

The note bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum and was scheduled to mature, after being modified in February 2015, on September 30, 2015.

The note bore a flat fee of $36,000 that was recorded as interest expense, and was scheduled to mature on October 3, 2015.

Convertible Notes, Non-Related Party

In January 2015, the Company issued a convertible note to an unrelated party in the amount of $50,000. In August 2015, all principal and interest pursuant to the convertible note was paid in full.

The note bore interest at a rate of 12% per year and was scheduled to mature on September 30, 2015

Convertible Debentures (TCH)

On July 1, 2015, the Company agreed to issue, in one or more separate tranches, up to $2.0 million of a newly created Senior Secured Convertible Debenture ("Debentures") security to three of its existing equity investors: Steuben Investment Company II, L.P. ("Steuben"), TCH Principal Solar, LP, ("TCH"), and SMCDLB, LLC ("SMC").

The first tranche of approximately $1.1 million was funded beginning July 1, 2015, and proceeds were used to meet obligations of our Principal Sunrise IV and Principal Sunrise V solar projects under development. In August 2015, all principal and interest pursuant to the Debentures were paid in full.

The Debentures bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and were scheduled to mature on September 1, 2015.

In connection with the Debentures, the Company granted to the holders 60-month warrants to purchase up to 90,796 shares of Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share. As the warrants were not complex, they were valued using a Black-Scholes model at $75,361, initially recorded as a discount to the debt, and fully amortized to interest expense in the current period. Input assumptions on the issuance date were as follows:

Estimated fair value	$	0.83
Expected life (years)		5
Risk free rate		.017	%
Volatility		168.93	%

Arowana Note

Additional Projects

F-14

Arowana continues to fund the development costs of the Additional Projects and, at December 31, 2016, the cumulative investment in the Additional Projects totaled $5.5 million, and the balance of the Arowana Note was $5.6 million, including interest. There can be no assurance Arowana will continue funding the two projects and failing to do so could, depending upon the finality, timing, and proceeds from the assignment of Principal Sunrise V, could cause the related power purchase agreements to be in default, resulting in a loss of all amounts invested to date.

Principal Sunrise V

Effective November 25, 2015, the Company issued a promissory note to Arowana in the principal amount of $269,688. The note matures on December 31, 2016, and bears simple interest at the rate of 12% per annum (the "Arowana Note").

The Company used the proceeds from the second Arowana to make an interconnection payment for Principal Sunrise V, and the note is secured by proceeds from the expected disposition of the project.

At December 31, 2015, the balance of the note is $269,688.

On March 2, 2015, the Company issued warrants to purchase 234,375 shares of Common Stock with a 66-month contractual term to Alpha Capital Anstalt in connection with the issuance of convertible debentures (See NOTE 6 "Convertible Debenture (Alpha)"). The warrants were immediately exercisable into the Company’s Common Stock with an exercise price of $6.00 per share.

However, as the warrants had “down round” protection, they were treated as a derivative liability and were valued each period using a binomial lattice-based option valuation model using holding period assumptions developed from the Company's business plan and management assumptions, and expected volatility from comparable companies including OTC Pink^®and small-cap companies. Increases or decreases in the Company's share price, the volatility of the share price, changes in interest rates in general, and the passage of time all impacted the value of these warrants. On May 6, 2015, the Company issued Series A Preferred stock (NOTE 11 “Preferred Stock”) resetting the exercise price of the warrants to $4.00 per share, and the valuation was updated and reflected in the balance sheet.

F-16

Input assumptions on the issuance date were as follows:

Estimated fair value			$6.77
Expected life (years)			5.51
Risk free interest rate			1.65%
Volatility			146.11%

In this issuance of convertible debentures and warrants, completed as a result of arm's length negotiations between unrelated parties, the value of the warrants alone exceeded the proceeds received. The Company's need for ongoing financing made the transaction attractive, despite the economics of the transaction. The application of FASB Topic 820 entitled "Fair Value Measurement", resulted in a loss on the date of issuance of $336,884, offset by a subsequent gain of $1,586,884 stemming from the subsequent movement in the price of our Common Stock, together resulting in a net gain on derivative liability warrants of $1,250,000 for 2015, offset by equivalent amounts recognized as additional interest expense reflecting the amortization of the debt discount.

On July 1, 2015, the Company issued Convertible Debentures with a conversion price of $.50 per share and warrants exercisable at $6.00 per share (see NOTE 6 "Convertible Debentures (TCH)"). In its consent to this later transaction, Alpha waived its "down round" rights in this single instance.

In August 2015, all principal and interest pursuant to the Convertible Debenture was paid in full thus eliminating the terms giving rise to a potential down round price adjustment of the warrants. As such, a final revaluation as of the repayment date was recorded and the derivative liability was eliminated from the balance sheet.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in fair value of the warrants in 2015:

Beginning balance December 31, 2014	$	-
Derivative warrants issued		1,586,884
Change in fair value included in net loss		(1,586,884	)

NOTE 11 – CAPITAL STOCK

Preferred Stock

At December 31, 2015, the Company had authorized 100,000,000 shares of $.01 par value Class A preferred stock.

Series A Preferred (Mandatorily Redeemable)

On May 6, 2015, the Company contracted to issue, in two separate tranches, up to 500,000 shares of its newly designated $.01 par value Series A Preferred stock ("Series A Preferred") to an unrelated investor at a purchase price of $4.00 per share that could result in proceeds to the Company of up to $2,000,000.

The first tranche of $1,000,000 was funded on May 6, 2015, and all Series A Preferred shares were redeemed in August 2015.

The preferred shares had a dividend rate of 12% per annum and, along with accrued dividends, were convertible into shares of our Common Stock at a price of $4.00 per share.

In connection with the issuance, the Company granted the holder warrants to purchase 187,500 shares of its Common Stock at a purchase price of $6.00 per share. As the warrants were not complex in nature, they were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Input assumptions on the issuance date were as follows:

Estimated fair value			$1.00
Expected life (years)			5.0
Risk free interest rate			1.58%
Volatility			168.93%

F-17

The Company evaluated the detachable warrants in accordance with FASB ASC No. 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and allocated the proceeds from issuance of the Series A preferred to the warrants based on the relative fair value of the preferred stock and warrants at issuance, and recorded the allocation to the warrants as additional paid-in capital. The allocation of the warrants to additional paid-in capital was offset by the accretion of the Series A Preferred.

Absent an IPO

The Company's inability to complete an IPO on or before July 1, 2015, caused the Series A Preferred to be reclassified from a convertible temporary equity to a mandatorily redeemable liability. Whereas the Series A Preferred incurred dividends prior to its reclassification on June 30, 2015, as a liability, it incurred interest expense thereafter.

	Series A Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock

Series A preferred stock issuance gross proceeds	$	1,000,000
Series A preferred issuance costs		(10,293	)
Net proceeds		989,707
Allocation of net proceeds to warrants		(156,270	)
Net proceeds allocated to Series A preferred stock		833,437
Accretion		166,563
Series A accrued dividends		18,333
Fair value of redeemable Series A preferred stock at redemption	$	1,018,333

In August 2015, all shares of Series A Preferred were redeemed using proceeds from the assignment of Principal Sunrise IV.

Common Stock

At December 31, 2015, the Company had authorized 300,000,000 shares of $.01 par value Common Stock, and it trades on the OTC Pink^® under the symbol “PSWW.” Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and receive dividends or other distributions when, and if, declared by our Board of Directors. In addition to shares outstanding, we have reserved 966,090 shares for issuance upon exercise of equity incentive awards with options to purchase 794,816 shares of Common Stock outstanding at December 31, 2015.

Restricted Stock

In January 2015, the Company awarded to an engineering firm, in exchange for its services on Principal Sunrise IV, 12,500 restricted shares pursuant to the 2014 Equity incentive Plan. The value of the shares on the date of grant totaled $37,500 and the amount was capitalized as construction in progress.

In December 2015, the Company awarded to two advisors, in exchange for their services, 10,000 restricted shares pursuant to the 2014 Equity incentive Plan. The value of the shares on the date of grant totaled $64,000 and the amount was included in general and administrative expense.

Stock Options

The Company maintains the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), pursuant to which 716,090 shares of Common Stock had previously been reserved for issuance. In January 2015, the Board of Directors reserved an additional 250,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan and 794,816 of the total 966,090 reserved have been issued to date. The exercise of options, if any, will result in the issuance of new share by the Company.

F-18

2014 Issuances

Throughout 2014, the Company issued 313,257 options to executives, employees, contractors, members of the Board of Directors, and advisors having an exercise price of $4.00 and contractual lives ranging from 5 to 10 years. The options were valued using the Black-Scholes model and the resulting equity-based compensation expense for 2014 was $1,068,012 based upon the following parameters:

Estimated fair value		$4.00
Expected life (years)	5.00	-	7.25
Risk free interest rate	0.44	-	2.19%
Volatility		227.71%

2015 Issuances

In February 2015, the Company granted 6,250 options to acquire shares of Common Stock having an exercise price of $6.00 per share, a 10-year term, and immediate vesting to each of five directors as a discretionary bonus. The Company also granted in February 2015, options to acquire 6,000 shares of Common Stock to each of two advisors. The options have an exercise price of $6.00 per share, immediate vesting, and expiration dates extending to 5-years based upon their continued service of two years from the grant date. Finally, the Company granted to a consultant in February 2015, options to acquire 6,250 shares of Common Stock. The options have an exercise price of $6.00 per share, immediate vesting, and expiration dates extending to 10-years based upon continued service of three years from the date of grant.

In May 2015, the Company granted to two Board members options to acquire 18,000 shares of Common Stock each. The options have an exercise price of $6.00 per share, immediate vesting of 12,000 shares to reflect the grant that was overlooked in January 2014, and the balance vest over the following 8 months. The options expire 10-years from the date of grant.

In May 2015, the Company granted to a new Board member options to acquire 18,000 shares of Common Stock. The options have an exercise price of $6.00 per share, vested over 24 months, and expire 10-years from the date of grant. The aforementioned Board member resigned in September 2015, and all options not yet vested were forfeited upon his resignation.

In each case above, the options were valued using the Black-Scholes model.

As the Company does not have a significant history of post vesting exercises to estimate an expected life of the option, the simplified method was used wherein the expected life becomes the mid-point of the options vesting date and their contractual life. The valuation of all of the option issuances in 2015 were based upon the following parameters:

Estimated fair value		$6.00
Expected life (years)	2.5	to	5.0
Risk free interest rate	.052%	to	1.58%
Volatility	146%	to	207%

A summary of option activity for 2014 and 2015 is as follows:

	Shares			Weighted Avg. Exercise Price		Weighted Avg. Grant Date Value

Outstanding, January 1, 2014		402,834			5.20		3.40

F-19

The following is a summary of stock options outstanding at December 31, 2015:

Exercise Price	Options Outstanding		Average Remaining Contractual Lives (Years)	Options Exercisable		Non-Vested Options
$4.00		435,482	7.5		421,592		13,890

$6.00		88,500	8.7		88,500		-

Stock-based compensation expense related to options included in general and administrative expenses in 2015 was $633,794, and $55,560 of compensation expense related to options not yet vested remains unrecognized at December 31, 2015. Such amount is expected to be recognized during the years 2016 through 2017.

The weighted average exercise price of those options currently outstanding is $4.79 and of those currently exercisable is $4.73. Based upon the Company's stock price at December 31, 2015, of $0.77 as quoted on OTCPink^®market, the options then outstanding had no intrinsic value and those exercisable had no intrinsic value.

Warrants

The Company had 550,434 warrants outstanding at December 31, 2015, with a weighted average term of 4.5 years and a weighted average exercise price of $5.86 per share.

NOTE 14 - TAXES

Our approximately $12.9 million of federal income tax net operating loss carryovers expire from 2030 through 2035. Our federal and state income tax returns are not under examination by any taxing authorities and no statute extensions have been granted; therefore, only our December 31, 2012 to 2015 tax returns are subject to examination.

Management has evaluated tax positions pursuant to ASC 740 and determined that no uncertain tax positions exist at this time. As a result, no amounts have been recorded related to a tax position more likely than not to be sustained. The company classifies interest and penalties related to income taxes, if any, as interest expense and general and administrative costs, respectively, in our consolidated financial statements.

Significant components of our income tax provisions were:

	2015		2014
Current provision
Federal	$	-	$	-
State		2,533		928
Total current tax provision		2,533		928

Deferred provision
Federal		-		-
State		-		-
Total deferred tax provision		-		-

Total income tax provision	$	2,533	$	928

The provision for income tax differs from the amount estimated by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the net loss before taxes as follows at December 31:

Taxes at statutory rate (34%)	$	(162,811	)	$	(1,133,554	)
State taxes		(6,225	)		(43,342	)

Total income tax provision	$	2,533		$	928

Deferred tax assets (liabilities) are comprised of the following at December 31:

Accrued compensation	$	140,776		$	267,156
Other accrued expenses		72,175			157,266
Gross current deferred tax assets		212,951			424,422

Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets		(6,475,034	)		(3,841,508	)
Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance	$	-		$	-

The Company has established a valuation allowance to fully reserve the net deferred tax assets for the periods December 31, 2015 and 2014, due to the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of future taxable income.

NOTE 16 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Financing

In February 2016, the Company entered into a promissory note to borrow $300,000 from a trust maintained by Matthew Thompson, the Executive Director of our Principal Solar institute division. The note included an origination fee of 15% of the principal amount and an interest rate of 12% per annum on all amounts outstanding beyond the maturity date, June 24, 2016. The note is unsecured and may be repaid at any time without penalty, and use of proceeds were limited to development costs of the Company's Innovative Solar 42 project (aka Principal Sunrise V).

In April 2016, the Company, entered into a promissory note to borrow $200,000 from a trust maintained by our Director, Gillermo Marmol. The note included an origination fee of 15% of the principal amount and an interest rate of 10% per annum on all amounts outstanding beyond the maturity date which is the earlier of (i) the financial close of the assignment of Innovative Solar 42, LLC, (ii) the receipt of remaining amounts due from the August 2015 assignment of Innovative Solar 46, LLC, or (iii) July 29, 2016. The note is unsecured and may be repaid at any time without penalty, and use of proceeds were limited to development costs of the Company's Innovative Solar 42 project.

Arowana continues to fund the development costs of the Additional Projects and, at March 31, 2015, the cumulative investment in the Additional Projects totaled $7.9 million, and the balance of the Arowana Note was $8.0 million, including interest.

F-22

Disposition of Sunrise V (aka IS 42)

The Company is negotiating to assign its interest in Principal Sunrise V to a buyer contingent upon the assignee's ability to secure the necessary tax equity and debt financing (approximately $108 million combined) to build and operate the project. The parties have selected a date of June 30, 2016, to secure the financing and close the transaction, and such date may be extended by the parties. If completed, under the assignment agreement the Company would be repaid its cumulative investment through the closing date ($5.1 million at March 31, 2016) and a separate development fee up to $4.0 million. As a part of the assignment, the Company guaranteed the assignee a 10% after-tax rate of return, with any deficit being deducted from the development fee to be received by the Company. Due to its variable nature, the ultimate development fee received by the Company is expected to range between $0 and $4 million to be paid incrementally between closing and commercial operation date ("COD") as the costs to construct the project become more certain. As a part of the transaction, the assignee has agreed to fund a portion of the development costs between signing and closing through a loan to the Company of up to $333 thousand, and the project seller has agreed to be paid their balance due at closing, both lessening the monthly cash burden to the Company.

Reduction of Authorized Shares

On April 1, 2016, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares from 300,000,000 common and 100,000,000 preferred to 15,000,000 and 2,000,000, respectively. The reduction was done to more closely fit the Company's needs and to reduce Delaware franchise taxes.
