MICROFIELD GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 2, 2005
(Unaudited)
1. Description of the Business
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the three- and six-month periods ended July 2, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated January 1, 2005 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s SEC Form 10-KSB.
Business and Basis of Presentation
Microfield Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Microfield”) through its subsidiary Christenson Velagio, Inc. (“CVI”) specializes in the installation of electrical products and services. The Company’s objective is to leverage its assets and value to successfully build a viable, profitable electrical services and technology infrastructure business.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Microfield and its wholly owned subsidiary, Christenson Velagio, Inc. (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company was incorporated in October 1986 as an Oregon Corporation, succeeding operations that began in October 1984. The Company’s headquarters are located in Portland, Oregon.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to prior periods’ data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of December. The Company’s current fiscal year is the 52-week period ending December 31, 2005. The Company’s last fiscal year was the 53-week period ended January 1, 2005. The Company’s second fiscal quarters in fiscal 2005 and 2004 were the 13-week periods ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its employee and director stock options in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Pro forma disclosures as required under SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and as amended by SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” are presented below. Under this method, no stock based compensation expense has been recognized for stock options issued to employees because the exercise prices of options issued were equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying shares at the date of grant .
Had compensation cost for the Company’s plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the total value of options granted would have been $413,890 during both the three and six months ended July 2, 2005, and $14,350 and $58,650 during the three and six months ended July 3, 2004, respectively. Such amounts would be amortized over the vesting period of the options. The total compensation expense that would have been recognized if the Company had determined such costs based on the fair value method would have been $131,412 and $204,609 for the three and six months ended July 2, 2005, and $11,912 and $23,126 for the three and six months ended July 3, 2004, respectively.
Accordingly, under SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per share for the three and six months ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
                                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    July 2,   July 3,   July 2,   July 3,
    2005   2004   2005   2004
Net loss attributable to common shareholders, as reported
  $ (162,463 )   $ (1,032,401 )   $ (614,032 )   $ (3,407,854 )

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Statement 123R supersedes APB opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”. Generally, the approach in Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. On April 14, 2005, the SEC amended the effective date of the provisions of this statement. The

effect of this amendment by the SEC is that the Company will have to comply with Statement 123R and use the Fair Value based method of accounting no later than the first quarter of 2006. Management has not determined the impact that this statement will have on Company’s consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
FIN 47. In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143,” which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FIN 47 no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
SFAS 154. In May 2005 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in non-discretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this SFAS to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Common Stock Warrants
In connection with debt financing entered into during fiscal year 2000, the Company issued two stock warrants each to purchase individually 1,033,000 common shares at a price of $0.50 per share and $0.38722 per share, respectively. The warrants had an initial term of 3 years and were to expire in June 30, 2005. Proceeds from the debt were allocated between the debt and warrants based on the fair value of the warrants issued using the Black-Scholes model. The combined value assigned to the warrants when they were issued was approximately $357,000 and was initially recorded as debt discount and recognized as interest expense over the life of the debt. On September 15, 2003, the Company extended the life of a portion of these warrants until June 30, 2007 as partial consideration to satisfy a $150,000 promissory note between CTS and Aequitas Capital Management (“Aequitas,” formerly known as JMW Capital Partners, Inc). In accordance with FIN 44, the fair value of the warrants on the date of the settlement of the $150,000 promissory note between CTS and Aequitas was determined to be $468,000. The difference of $110,000 between the initial fair value and the fair value at the date of the extension was recorded as equity and a loss on debt extinguishment. During the period ended July 2, 2005, the warrant holder exercised 826,400 warrants in exchange for 229,358 shares of the Company’s common stock (Note 2).
In connection with an April 2003 common stock private placement, the Company issued 111,308 warrants to purchase common stock. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at $0.40 per share and will expire in 2008. Subsequent to this private placement, the Company exercised an option to convert $1,400,000 of outstanding debt into preferred stock that is convertible into shares of common stock. This exercise, when aggregated with all other outstanding equity arrangements, resulted in the total number of common shares that could be required to be delivered to exceed the number of authorized common shares. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the fair value of the warrants issued in the private placement must be recorded as a liability in the financial statements using the Black-Scholes model, and any subsequent changes in the Company’s stock price to be recorded in earnings. Accordingly, the fair value of these warrants at the date of issuance was determined to be $19,832. At the end of each quarter the increase or decrease in derivative value was recorded in earnings in the consolidated statement of operations. At September 1, 2004, the Company’s shareholder’s voted to increase the authorized shares available for issuance or conversion, which cured the situation described above. Accordingly, the fair value of the warrants on September 1, 2004 was determined to be $48,976. The warrant liability was reclassified to shareholders’ equity and the increase from the prior quarter end warrant value was recorded in earnings.
In September 2003, in connection with a preferred stock private placement, the Company issued 333,334 warrants to purchase common stock. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at $0.42 per share and will expire in 2008. Subsequent to this private placement, the Company exercised an option to convert $1,400,000 of outstanding debt into preferred stock that is convertible into shares of common stock. This exercise, when aggregated with all other outstanding equity arrangements, resulted in the total number of common shares that could be required to be delivered to exceed the number of authorized common shares. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the fair value of the warrants issued in the private placement must be recorded as a liability in the financial statements using the Black-Scholes model, and any subsequent changes in the Company’s stock price to be recorded in earnings. Accordingly, the fair value of these warrants at the date of issuance was determined to be $64,902. At the end of each quarter the increase or decrease in derivative value was recorded in earnings in the consolidated statement of operations. At

September 1, 2004, the Company’s shareholder’s voted to increase the authorized shares available for issuance or conversion, which cured the situation described above. Accordingly, the fair value of the warrants on September 1, 2004 was determined to be $139,000. The warrant liability was reclassified to shareholders’ equity and the increase from the prior quarter end warrant value was recorded in earnings.
In connection with the January 22, 2004 debt issuance by Destination Capital, LLC (see Note 5), the Company is obligated to issue warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. According to the terms of the debt issuance, warrants in the amount of one percent of the Company’s fully diluted common stock will be issued to the debt holders on the first day of each calendar month that the debt is outstanding. The Company repaid this debt in April 2004, and accordingly is obligated to issue 1,403,548 warrants, which is equivalent to 4% of the fully diluted common stock outstanding under the terms outlined in that agreement. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at $0.31 per share, subject to changes specified in the debt agreement, and will expire in 2008. Prior to this debt issuance, the Company exercised an option to convert $1,400,000 of outstanding debt into preferred stock that is convertible into shares of common stock. This exercise, when aggregated with all other outstanding equity arrangements, resulted in the total number of common shares that could be required to be delivered to exceed the number of authorized common shares. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debt issuance must be recorded as a liability for warrant settlement in the financial statements using the Black-Scholes model, and any subsequent changes in the Company’s stock price to be recorded in earnings. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value of these warrants, on the date each of the obligations to issue warrants arose, was determined to be $701,824. At the end of each quarter the increase or decrease in derivative value was recorded in earnings in the consolidated statement of operations. At September 1, 2004, the Company’s shareholder’s voted to increase the authorized shares available for issuance or conversion, which cured the situation described above. Accordingly, the fair value of the warrants on September 1, 2004 was determined to be $780,373. The warrant liability was reclassified to shareholders’ equity and the increase from the prior quarter end warrant value was recorded in earnings.
In connection with the August 24, 2004 debt issuance by Destination Capital, LLC (see Note 5), the Company is obligated to issue warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. According to the terms of the debt issuance, warrants in the amount of 12.5% percent of the loan balance, outstanding on the first day of each month, will be issued to the debt holders for each calendar month that the debt is outstanding. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at the lesser of $0.38 per share or the price applicable to any shares, warrants or options issued (other than options issued to employees or directors) while the loan is outstanding, and will expire in 2009. Prior to this debt issuance, the Company exercised an option to convert $1,400,000 of outstanding debt into preferred stock that is convertible into shares of common stock. This exercise, when aggregated with all other outstanding equity arrangements, resulted in the total number of common shares that could be required to be delivered to exceed the number of authorized common shares. In accordance with EITF 00-19, the fair value of the 37,500 warrants initially issued in connection with the debt issuance must be recorded as a liability for warrant settlement in the financial statements using the Black-Scholes model, and any subsequent changes in the Company’s stock price to be recorded in earnings. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value of these warrants, issued prior to September 1, 2004, was determined to be $17,513. At the end of each quarter the increase or decrease in derivative value was recorded in earnings in the consolidated statement of operations. At September 1, 2004, the Company’s shareholder’s voted to increase the authorized shares available for issuance or conversion, which cured the situation described above. Accordingly, the fair value of the warrants on September 1, 2004 was determined to be $20,775. The warrant liability was reclassified to shareholders’ equity and the increase from the prior quarter end warrant value was recorded in earnings.
For the months from September 1, 2004 to July 2, 2005, according to the terms of the warrant provision of the August 24, 2004 debt agreement, the Company is obligated to issue 1,588,542 additional warrants. The value of these warrants of $604,955 was added to shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding expense charged to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. This included charges against earnings of $178,917 and $320,967 associated with an aggregate of 444,792 and 894,792 warrants, respectively, that the Company was obligated to issue for the three and six months ended July 2, 2005.

On September 10, 2004, the Company entered into a Master Vehicle Lease Termination Agreement with CLLLC (see Note 18), under which the Company terminated its previous master vehicle lease agreement with CLLLC. Under the terms of this termination agreement, the Company was released from its obligation under the previous master vehicle lease agreement. In consideration for this release the Company issued 1,000,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common shares, which were valued at $515,000 using the Black Scholes model. This warrant value was recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as common stock warrants, with a corresponding expense recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations in the third quarter of 2004.
4. Debt
Operating Line of Credit
As of July 1, 2005, the Company has a $5,000,000 credit facility. This credit facility expires in January 2006. In most prior years, this facility has been renewed annually. There can be no assurance that this facility will be renewed. Borrowings under the line of credit are due on demand, bear interest payable weekly at prime plus 6 1/2% and are collateralized by accounts receivable. The borrowing base is limited by certain factors such as length of collection cycle, subordination of collateral position on bonded work and other credit related factors. Subject to these limitations, the Company had no available borrowing capacity at July 2, 2005. As of July 2, 2005 and January 1, 2005, borrowings of $3,952,536 and $4,392,975, respectively, were outstanding under the facility. The Company was in compliance with the terms of the borrowing facility at quarter end.

Notes Payable to Destination Capital, LLC
On January 22, 2004, the Company entered into a Contract of Sale and Security Agreement with Destination Capital LLC (Destination) under which the Company agreed to sell up to 15% of its acceptable, eligible accounts receivable to Destination, in exchange for borrowing up to $600,000 from that entity under the terms of a Promissory Note. Destination is an entity in which Robert J. Jesenik, a shareholder and director of the Company, holds a significant interest. Under the terms of the agreement between the Company and Destination, the Company paid interest at the rate of 18% per annum on the amount of the note outstanding, and also issued warrants in the amount of 1% of the fully diluted common shares, per month, for each calendar month in which the Note was outstanding. The warrants have a five-year life and will be issued at the lower of $0.42 or the price of any other common or preferred equity issued in the six months following the date of the agreement. During the 6 month agreement period, the Company issued incentive stock options at $0.31 per share, therefore the price per share used for these warrants was reduced to $0.31. The Company initially was obligated to issue warrants to purchase 350,387 common shares at the time this note was issued. The fair value of these warrants was determined to be $155,221 using the Black Scholes

pricing model. The assumptions used included a risk free rate of 3.1%, volatility of 152%, fair market value of the Company’s stock of $.48 per share and a remaining life of 5 years. The calculated fair value amount was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the six-month term of the debt. This debt was outstanding on February 1, 2004, March 1, 2004 and April 1, 2004 and in accordance with the terms of the note agreement, the Company is further obligated to issue additional warrants to purchase 1,053,159 shares of the Company’s common stock. These warrants were valued using the Black Scholes pricing model. The assumptions used included risk free rates ranging from of 3.1% to 3.3%, volatility of 152%, remaining lives of 5 years for each warrant issuance, and fair market values of the Company’s stock on those three dates of $0.46, $0.60 and $0.62 per share, respectively. The fair value of these warrants in the amount of $780,373 was recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended January 1, 2005. At the date of each of those warrant issuances, the Company did not have sufficient authorized common shares to effect the exercise of these warrants, accordingly, the fair value of all of these warrants was classified as liability for warrant settlement on the consolidated balance sheet. On September 1, 2004, the Company’s shareholders voted to increase the Company’s authorized common shares from 25,000,000 to 125,000,000. The fair market values of these warrants were re-measured on that date and reclassified as common stock warrants in the shareholders’ equity section on the balance sheet, with the increase or decrease in their values recorded as an increase or reduction of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The Note was repaid in full during April 2004.
On August 24, 2004 the Company entered into a Business Loan Agreement with Destination under which the Company can borrow up to $2,000,000 based on Destination’s discretion and funds availability. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays interest at prime plus 10% (prime plus 12% in the event of a default), with nine monthly interest only payments starting September 24, 2004, and 15 monthly principal payments of $83,333 and accrued interest until maturity. At loan maturity on August 24, 2006, any remaining principal and accrued interest owed is then due and payable. This loan is immediately due if there occurs a default, there is a sale or disposal of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company, or if there is a transfer of ownership or beneficial interest, by merger or otherwise, of the stock of the Company or its subsidiary. Additionally, the Company will issue to Destination the number of warrants equal to 12.5% of the value of the loan balance, on the first day of each month the loan is outstanding. These warrants have a five year life and will be issued at the lower of $0.38 or the price applicable to any shares, warrants or options (excluding options granted to employees or directors) issued by the Company while the loan is outstanding. Beginning August 1, 2004, the Company was obligated to issue the following warrant amounts based on the outstanding loan balances on the first day of each month.

The Company initially was obligated to issue warrants to purchase 37,500 common shares at the time this note was issued. The fair value of these warrants was determined to be $17,513 using the Black Scholes pricing model. The assumptions used included a risk free rate of 3.8%, volatility of 155%, fair market value of the Company’s stock of $.50 per share and a remaining life of 5 years. The calculated fair value amount was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the twenty-four month term of the debt. The warrants issued from September 1, 2004 through July 1, 2005 were also valued using the Black Scholes pricing model. The assumptions used include risk free rates ranging from 3.39% to 4.17%, volatility percentages ranging from 121% to 155%, remaining lives of 5 years for each warrant issuance, and fair market values of the Company’s stock ranging from $0.30, to $0.60 per share. At the time these warrant obligations arose, the Company had sufficient authorized common shares to effect the exercise of these

warrants. Accordingly, the fair values of the warrants issued from September 1, 2004 through July 2, 2005, $604,955, were classified as common stock warrants in the shareholders’ equity (deficit) section on the consolidated balance sheet, and expensed as interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations, as they were issued.
Bond Guarantee Fees
A certain number of CVI construction projects require the Company to maintain a surety bond. The bond surety company requires an additional guarantee for issuance of the bond. The Company has an agreement with Mark Walter, the Company’s President under which at quarter end pays Walter between $600 and $1,200 per month for his guarantee of this bond liability. The guarantee fee is computed as 15% (annualized) of the open liability under bonds issued for CVI.
Equipment Lease Agreement
On September 1, 2003, CTS entered into an agreement with CEI for use of certain equipment leased by CEI from an outside party. Robert J. Jesenik, a Director and significant Shareholder, owns a substantial ownership interest in CEI. The equipment consists of various construction vehicles, trailers, miscellaneous construction equipment, office furniture, computer hardware and software. Under the terms of the lease CTS pays CEI $40,000 monthly beginning on September 1, 2003, with the final payment due on December 1, 2007. The lease is accounted for as an operating lease and contains a 10% purchase option at the end of the lease term, December 31, 2007. The Company reached agreement on a payment plan to the lessor, under which $10,000 of the monthly lease obligation will be paid to the lessor in an equivalent amount of the Company’s Series 3 preferred stock. This arrangement to tender a portion of the payment with preferred stock in lieu of cash, was for the thirteen monthly payments beginning with the December 2003 lease payment, through the payment due in December 2004. Beginning with the payment due in January 2005, the total monthly amount due was paid entirely in cash.
Master Vehicle Lease Agreement
The Company entered into a new Master Vehicle Lease Agreement, effective September 9, 2004, with Destination Microfield, LLC. Destination Microfield, LLC is partially owned by William C. McCormick, interim CEO for the Company. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company will make twelve monthly payments of $29,000 starting October 5, 2004, twelve monthly payments of $35,000, starting October 5, 2005, and three monthly payments of $45,000 ending on December 9, 2006. This lease is accounted for as an operating lease with equal monthly amounts charged to expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the life of the lease.
Real Property Sub Leases
On September 1, 2003, CTS entered into seven real property subleases with CEI for use of buildings, offices and storage yards to house the operations and property of CTS. Robert J. Jesenik, a Director and significant Shareholder, owns a substantial ownership interest in CEI. CTS has operating activities in Portland and Eugene, Oregon. The monthly sublease payments totaled $58,625 through November 30, 2004. On November 30, 2004, the Company terminated its lease with CEI for space in the Thurman Building and entered into a lease directly with the building owner for a smaller space in the building. As of January 1, 2005 the Company’s total real property lease payments totaled $48,842, of which $675 was on a month-to-month basis. The remaining $48,167 is due on leases with maturity dates between September 2005 and October 2008. The rent per month on the Thurman Building is $31,025. The annual rent obligations from January 1, 2005, for each property are listed in the table below.

Administrative Services Agreement
On September 15, 2003, CTS entered into an administrative services agreement with CEI for the extension of certain administrative and related services by the Company to CEI. Robert J. Jesenik, a Director and Significant shareholder, owns a substantial ownership interest in CEI. Under the terms of the agreement, certain employees provided administrative and related services to CEI upon reasonable request. The agreement is subject to a 60-day notice period before termination by either party. The monthly payment for these services was determined at the effective date of the agreement to be approximately $35,000, with a provision to be adjusted as needed based on the level of usage of these services by CEI. During the first quarter of 2005, the payment by CEI for these services was renegotiated to approximately $12,500 per month as the cost of services to CEI has been reduced.
Note receivable
In 1998, John B. Conroy, then the Company’s Chairman, CEO and President, entered into a transaction whereby he purchased 45,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.75 per share. Mr. Conroy issued a promissory note to the Company for $78,750 in payment for the shares. On May 17, 2004 the Note was replaced with a new non-recourse note for $66,250 under which the original amount of the note was offset against a $12,500 amount owed by the Company to Mr. Conroy. The note also acknowledges the outstanding accrued interest due by Mr. Conroy in the amount of $21,937. Additionally, the interest rate of the new promissory note was established at 3.4% per annum, and the due date was extended to August 29, 2006. Mr. Conroy resigned as Chairman, CEO and President on September 16, 2002, and resigned as a director in October 2003. At July 2, 2005, accrued interest receivable under this note totaled $27,369. The Company has accounted for the $78,750 due from Mr. Conroy as a reduction in common stock equity in prior years. In May 2004, the Company accounted for the $12,500 amount due to Mr. Conroy and additional $637 of interest adjustment as an increase in common stock equity.
6. Legal Proceedings
Shareholder lawsuit and settlement
In March, 2004, Kurt Underwood (former President/CEO of Microfield Group, Inc.) filed a lawsuit in Multnomah County Circuit Court, Portland, Oregon under case number 0403-02370 against Robert J. Jesenik, Aequitas Capital Management (formerly known as JMW Capital Partners), Destination Capital, LLC, Microfield Group, Inc., Christenson Electric, Inc., Steven M. Wright, Andrew S. Craig, Thomas A. Sidley, R. Patrick Hanlin, Michael Stansell, Brian A. Oliver, Brian N. Christopher, Kevin D. Robertson, Christenson Group, LLC, and Christenson Velagio, Inc. The lawsuit alleged that the Defendants violated Oregon securities law and Oregon common law in connection with the following transactions (which closed simultaneously in September 2003): (1) the merger of CTS Acquisition Co. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) with and into Christenson Technology Services, Inc.; and (2) the merger of VSI Acquisition Co. (A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) with and into Velagio, Inc. In addition, the lawsuit

alleged that Mr. Underwood was terminated as an employee entitling him to severance pay. The lawsuit sought damages of approximately $1.4 million.
On May 27, 2004, the Company, certain executives, board members and related companies filed two separate answers, affirmative defenses, and counterclaims against Mr. Underwood in Multnomah County Circuit Court alleging violations of Oregon Securities law and Oregon common law in connection with the above named transactions. In addition, the countersuit alleged that Mr. Underwood was terminated by the Company for good cause. The lawsuit sought damages of not less than $2.5 million and return of the 3.4 million shares of Microfield stock held by Mr. Underwood in exchange for the return of the shares of Velagio stock held by the Company.
On May 11, 2005 the Company and Mr. Underwood entered into a Settlement Agreement under which both parties agreed to drop their respective lawsuits. The Settlement Agreement provides that the Company and certain defendants will jointly and severally purchase Mr. Underwood’s Microfield Stock for the aggregate purchase price of $362,500. The purchase price will be allocated as follows: $50,000 to the purchase of Mr. Underwood’s 119,050 Series 2 preferred shares and the balance to the purchase of Mr. Underwood’s 3,404,958 common shares. Additionally, the Settlement Agreement terminates Mr. Underwood’s Microfield Warrant. Microfield assigned its right to purchase Underwood’s shares under the Settlement Agreement to Energy Fund II, LLC, a related party. Payment under the Settlement Agreement occurred as scheduled on August 1, 2005.
7. Subsequent Events
On July 20, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase all the outstanding shares of Christenson Electric, Inc. (CE) in exchange for 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock at $.64 per common share, and the assumption of interest-bearing debt within CE of approximately $4.6 million. The transaction was valued at approximately $5.9 million. CE is in the business of wind farm construction and electrical maintenance, and construction of substation distribution and transmission facilities across the United States.

Overview
Microfield Group, Inc. (the “Company”) specializes in the installation of electrical products and services. The Company’s objective is to leverage its assets and value to successfully build a viable, profitable electrical services and technology infrastructure business.
In September 2003, the Company acquired privately held Velagio, Inc. (Velagio) and Christenson Technology Services, Inc. (CTS). In December, 2003 the service and technology teams of Velagio and CTS were consolidated into one subsidiary under the name Christenson Velagio, Inc. (CVI) in order to take full advantage of inherent synergies within the subsidiaries, as well as capture competitive advantage. The newly formed organization conducts business in the electrical services and technology infrastructure sectors. CVI has the ability to deliver the following products and services:
    Computer Telephony Integration
 
    Digital Video CCTV Systems and Infrastructure
 
    Telecommunications Systems and Infrastructure
 
    Enterprise Security Systems
 
    Wireless Networking Solutions
 
    Life Safety Systems Design and Installation
 
    Information Technology Network Design & Engineering
 
    Voice/Data Systems and Infrastructure
 
    Electrical Design & Engineering
 
    Electrical Construction Services
 
    Lighting Services
 
    Electrical System Audits
These services and capabilities are expected to provide the substantial majority of the Company’s sales in the foreseeable future. The Company’s results will therefore depend on continued and increased market

acceptance of these products and the Company’s ability to install and service them to meet the needs of its customers. Any reduction in demand for, or increase in competition with respect to these products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
During 2003, the Company made the decision to discontinue the operations of Velagio and previously acquired Innovative Safety Technologies, Inc. (IST). This decision was made based on the declining sales in these two entities, and the fact that many of the employees whose focus was in sales of these products and services were no longer with the Company. The remaining assets and liabilities were merged into CVI in December in conjunction with the combination of Velagio, IST and CTS. As of July 2, 2005, Microfield Group, Inc. has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Christenson Velagio, Inc.
The Company’s current acquisition strategy is to evaluate potential merger opportunities as they develop.
Management’s Focus in Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance
Management meets regularly to review the Operations, Finance and Administration functions of the business. Operations consists of customer solicitation and project work performance, and Finance and Administration, consists of the administration and support of the Company. Based on the information reviewed, meetings are held daily, weekly and monthly. Following is a list of the most critical information which management examines when evaluating the performance and condition of the Company.
     Revenue. Sales personnel and project managers are responsible for obtaining work to be performed by the Company. Revenue is booked daily based on the Company’s revenue recognition policy. These bookings are reviewed the following day by the President, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and several of their direct reports. Decisions about various aspects of the business are made, and actions are taken based on the prior day’s revenue, and whether or not it met daily and weekly revenue goals and expectations. Monthly customer revenue is also examined, in detail, as a part of a review of the Company’s financial statements for the prior month by the Company’s executive team and its board of directors.
     Expense Control. The Company has various controls in place to monitor spending. These range from authorization and approvals by the President and CFO as well as review of the periodic check runs by the CFO and reviews of labor efficiency and utilization by the President and his project managers. An organizational team, which is comprised of the President, CFO, several department heads and key employees, meets weekly to review reports that monitor expenses and cost efficiency, among other factors. Additionally, the executive team, comprised of the Company’s President, CFO and Controller, meets weekly to review operations, and monthly with the board of directors to review monthly spending patterns and expenses as a part of the review of the prior month’s financial statements.
      Cash Requirements. The Company focuses on cash daily, through a series of meetings that highlight cash received from borrowings on the prior day’s billings, cash required to fund daily operating needs, cash received from customers and several other factors that impact cash. Management reviews accounts receivable reports, ineligible receivables and accounts payable reports in conjunction with preparing a daily cash flow schedule that projects and tracks all cash sources and uses. Management and the board of directors use this information in determining cash requirements.
      Customer service. Management considers the Company’s reputation as one of its most valuable assets. Much of the Company’s revenue is based either on repeat business or referrals from its loyal customer base. The Company reviews service issues and any customer feedback continually to ensure continued customer satisfaction through timely and high quality work.
      Safety. Safety is of utmost importance to the Company and its employees. The Company’s engineers, electricians and technicians are required to undergo regular educational seminars, which include safety training. The Company has well defined procedures designed to prevent accidents. Management

22


Table of Contents

reviews reports on the Company’s safety record, and examines the facts and circumstances surrounding specific accidents to ensure that all procedures were followed, or to modify procedures if needed.
Business Characteristics
      Revenue. The Company generates revenue by performing electrical service work and technology infrastructure design and installation. These projects are obtained by the Company’s sales force and project managers. These projects come from direct solicitation of work, the bidding process, referrals, regular maintenance relationships and repeat customer projects.
      Cash. The Company generates cash mainly through operations. Cash is borrowed daily from an asset based lender under a revolving credit facility. These borrowings are repaid through collections from customers’ accounts. Each day, the Company submits to its lender, a summary of customer billings, cash collections, ineligible accounts and the amount of the borrowing requested. The lender approves the submission and deposits funds directly into the Company’s bank account.
The Company has also generated cash through debt issuances and private placements of common and preferred stock. The board of directors reviews both short and long range business plans and projections, and implements funding strategies based on the cash needs produced in the projections.
      Opportunities and Risks. Some of the significant business risks CVI faces, among others, include interruption in the flow of materials and supplies, interruption of its work force through disagreements with its union, business contraction and expansion caused by the economy, and its general lack of liquidity.
As a part of its regular business planning, the Company anticipates the effect that these risks may potentially have on its financial condition. Some of the risks are planned for contractually to minimize the Company’s liability in cases where it is subject to contract performance. Others are anticipated by forging plans for staff reductions or increases should the economy move drastically in one direction. The Company also continually looks for additional funding sources and cash availability, both by improving operating performance internally and from external debt and equity sources, should its cash be strained by certain factors.
Business Goal Attainment.
When entering into the acquisitions of CTS and Velagio, the Company’s goal was to realize certain synergies within the resulting organization, save costs from eliminating duplicate processes, and come out of the combination as a breakeven or slightly profitable company. The Company achieved operating profitability in both the first and second quarters of 2005. These two consecutive quarters of profits from operations mark a turnaround from the unprofitable operations the Company sustained in the business from the acquisition date of CVI through the end of 2004.
Quarterly losses from operations during that period averaged over $1.1 million per quarter, compared to an average operating profit of just under $300,000 per quarter in 2005.
The Company’s goals for the third and fourth quarters of 2005 include working toward pre tax net profitability, further reducing its negative cash flow, and increasing top line revenue and margins. It’s anticipated that this will be done through a combination of process efficiencies, lease restructurings and general expense cutbacks. The Company anticipates that this combination of improvements, if accomplished to its targets, is intended to result in net pre-tax income during the second half of 2005.
Trends.

23


Table of Contents

CVI’s business is closely tied to the economy. In a down economy, the Company’s work becomes more dependent on repeat business from ongoing customer relationships. When the service, manufacturing and retail industries aren’t expanding, CVI’s service projects are more focused toward changes, adds, moves, and fixes within this customer base. The Company continues to see improvement in the economy at the current time, and is anticipating a modest increase in sequential quarterly revenues due to seasonal general economic trends.
In the last three years the Company has seen a dramatic downturn in spending for technology infrastructure. This affected the technology side of CTS’s business prior to its acquisition by the Company. It is anticipated that as the economy continues to improve, CVI will see increasing revenue from the sales of technology products and services.
Results of Operations
The financial information presented for the three and six months ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, represents activity in Microfield Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CVI.
Sales. Revenue for the three months ended July 2, 2005 was $9,007,000 compared to $9,646,000 for the three months ended July 3, 2004. This also compares to revenue of $8,894,000 in the first quarter of 2005. This decrease in revenue between the second quarters of 2004 and 2005, is a direct result of the Company’s efforts to concentrate on more profitable business. Despite a revenue decrease of over $600,000 between year over year quarters, gross profits increased over those same two periods by over $240,000. The Company also experienced an increase in sequential quarterly revenue due to a continued improvement in the construction industry, and from seasonal work as the Company moved toward summer.
There were no sales to any customers that exceeded 10% of total revenue in the three months ended July 2, 2005. Sales to two customers comprised 10% and 11% of the Company’s total sales for the three months ended July 3, 2004.
Revenue for the six months ended July 2, 2005 was $17,901,000 compared to $18,837,000 for the six months ended July 3, 2004. There were no sales to any customers that exceeded 10% of total revenue in the six months ended July 2, 2005. There were sales one customer during the six months ended July 3, 2004 that comprised 12% of the Company’s total sales for that period.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales totaled $7,093,000 (or 78.8% of sales) for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2005, compared to $7,975,000 (or 82.4% of sales) for the same period in the prior year. This reduction in costs coincides with the lower levels of sales in the current year quarter. This reduction also reflects the

24


Table of Contents

achievement of a reduction in the percentage of cost of sales to total sales of 3.6 percentage points, which is in line with the Company’s goal to focus on more profitable projects. Cost of sales for the six months ended July 2, 2005 was $14,098,000 compared to 15,353,000 for the six months ended July 3, 2004. Cost of sales includes the cost of labor, products, supplies and overhead used in providing electrical and technology services.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended July 2, 2005 was $1,913,000 (or 21.2%) compared to $1,671,000 (or 17.3%) for the same period in 2004. This increase in gross margin of 3.9% of total sales produced an increase in gross profit of $242,000 in the second quarter of 2005 over the second quarter of 2004 on revenue that was $639,000 lower in the current year’s second quarter compared to the revenue in the prior year’s second quarter. This improvement is a direct result of the Company’s efforts to reach profitability, in part by being more selective of projects on which they bid, or work they accept. Gross profit for the six months ended July 2, 2005 was $3,804,000 (or 21.2%) compared to $3,483,000 (or 18.5%) for the same period in 2004.
Future gross profit margins will depend on the volume and mix of sales of products and services to the Company’s customers, as well as the Company’s ability to control costs. It is the Company’s goal to sustain higher levels of gross margins through continuing cost reduction efforts and an emphasis on obtaining higher gross margin work projects.
Sales, General and Administrative Expenses(S, G & A). S, G & A expenses were $1,632,000 (or 18.0% of sales) for the three months ended July 2, 2005, compared to $2,245,000 for the three months ended July 3, 2004, a reduction of $624,000. Sequential quarterly S G & A expenses decreased significantly from the fourth quarter 2004 expenses of $2,007,000 and were essentially in line with the first quarter 2005 expenses of $1,594,000. S, G & A expenses are comprised mainly of payroll costs, facilities and equipment rent, outside services, insurance, utilities and depreciation. Payroll costs, which include salary, payroll taxes and fringe benefits, totaled $1,259,000 for the three months ended July 2, 2005 compared to $1,377,000 in the three months ended July 3, 2004. This reduction is due primarily to the Company’s cost cutting efforts and not hiring new employees upon the attrition of certain employees.
Total rents for the three months ended July 2, 2005 were $153,000, which was primarily comprised of facilities rent. This is compared to $187,000 of rent incurred in the three months ended July 3, 2004. Outside services, professional fees, insurance, utilities and depreciation for the three months ended July 3, 2004 totaled $139,000, compared to $478,000 for the three months ended July 3, 2004. The current quarter included a reduction of $120,000 in legal fees from the reversal of expenses accrued in prior periods in connection with a lawsuit.
S, G & A expenses were $3,226,000 (or 18.0%) for the six months ended July 2, 2005, compared to $5,258,000 (or 27.9%) for the six months ended July 3, 2004. The reduction of over $2 million between the first six month period of 2004 to the same period in 2005 was due to reductions in payroll and payroll related costs of approximately $500,000, lower insurance and bonding costs of approximately $325,000, and lower professional fees of approximately $780,000. Included in the reduction of professional fees was the accrual of $395,000 in the six months ended July 3, 2004 for legal defense costs, and the reversal of $120,000 of that accrual in the six months ended July 2, 2005.
The level of S, G & A expense for the 2005 is anticipated to continue to be significantly lower compared to the level incurred in the 2004 due to lower payroll costs and the Company’s continued diligence in reducing costs. The Company anticipates these expenses will approximate between 16% and 22% of sales for 2005.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $401,000 for the three months ended July 2, 2005, compared to $314,000 for the three months ended July 3, 2004. Included in interest for 2005 is $179,000 of interest recorded as a result of the accounting treatment of the issuance of warrants associated with the debt owed to Destination Capital LLC. This expense is a non-cash expense amount. There was no interest charged in the second quarter 2004 from warrant obligations. It is anticipated that the interest expense may begin decreasing as principal payments reduce the warrant obligation incurred each month. The amount of interest charged each month is also subject to fluctuations in the Company’s stock price. As the price increases, the value of the warrants issued also increases, which may result in an increase in interest expense.
Interest expense was $784,000 for the six months ended July 2, 2005 compared to $1,280,000 for the six months ended July 3, 2004. This decrease is due in part to the lower costs for the issuance of warrants in connection with the Destination Capital note. The Company recorded $321,000 and $676,000 in non-cash interest expense under the terms of the note in the six months ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, respectively. Excluding the effect of these non-cash interest charges, interest expense was $464,000 and $605,000 for the six months ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, respectively. Interest expense is also lower due to the fact that the Company’s overall interest bearing debt totals were lower in 2005 than they were in 2004, over the same six month periods.
Derivative income/expense. The Company incurred $32,000 in non-cash derivative expense for the six months ended July 2, 2005 compared with $29,000 for the six months ended July 3, 2004. This expense is recorded based on the fluctuations of the Black Scholes value of the derivative liabilities listed on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The expense is computed using the fair value of the Company’s common stock, among other factors, and will produce non-cash derivative expense or derivative income as the Company’s stock price increases or decreases, respectively.
Gain / Loss From Discontinued Operations
After the acquisitions of Velagio and CTS, management discontinued the operations of both Velagio and IST due to a decline in sales and a decision to focus on the CTS business. Accordingly, the revenue, expenses and other income or losses for IST are condensed and reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations. Certain information from those businesses is reported below.
Discontinued operations is comprised of a royalty from the sale of the SoftBoard business. The SoftBoard business was sold in 2000. As part of the sale price, the Company receives royalties from the purchaser of that business, based on sales of SoftBoard products. These royalties are listed in the income statement under “Gain on sale of discontinued operations.”
Income Taxes. There was no provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004 due to losses incurred by the Company in those periods. No tax benefit from loss carryback was recorded in either year as there was no income tax paid in the open loss carryback periods. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, the Company has financed its operations and capital expenditures through public and private sales of equity securities, cash from operations, and borrowings under bank lines of credit. At July

Table of Contents

2, 2005, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $4,189,000 and its primary source of liquidity consisted of cash and its operating line of credit.
Accounts receivable decreased to $5,610,000 at July 2, 2005 from $6,241,000 at January 1, 2005. The decrease is due to a better collection record of receivables at the end of the second quarter, and a reduction in the amount of past due receivables. Receivables are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $153,000 and $104,000 at July 2, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. Management expects these receivables to remain fairly constant as a percentage of sales, decreasing slightly as efficiencies in the billing and collection processes are achieved. At July 2, 2005, no single customer account balance exceeded 10% of total outstanding accounts receivable.
Inventory increased to $244,000 at July 3, 2004 from $239,000 at January 1, 2005. The increase is due to normal fluctuations in inventory based on sales levels at any point in time. This balance mainly includes inventory used in the electrical services business. The Company maintains a fleet of trucks and vans which each maintain a certain level of inventory needed to provide timely products and services to the Company’s customers. The inventory levels should remain relatively constant, and increase slightly as the Company’s revenue increases. These balances are a significant reduction from inventory balances at July 3, 2004 of $437,000 due to write-offs of obsolete inventory and to more closely managed inventory levels.
Property and equipment, net of depreciation decreased to $111,000 at July 2, 2005 compared to $126,000 at January 1, 2005. This decrease was due to normal monthly depreciation. The Company is party to an equipment lease agreement with a related party, under which it leases furniture and fixtures, equipment, computer equipment, and job site tools and equipment (See Related Party Transactions). This lease is classified as an operating lease with a monthly payment due of $40,000. The Company anticipates spending nominal amounts to acquire fixed assets in the foreseeable future.
Accounts payable decreased to $3,073,000 at July 2, 2005 from $3,452,000 at January 1, 2005. This change is due to the timing of the purchase of materials needed to support the level of sales at the end of the first quarter 2005 compared to the level of sales at the end of 2004. Payables consist primarily of the costs of inventory, materials and supplies used in the electrical construction services and technology infrastructure services provided by the Company. The company also made efforts to shorten the days payables are outstanding.
Accrued payroll, payroll taxes and benefits were $1,414,000 at July 2, 2005 compared to $1,297,000 at January 1, 2005. This increase is due to a higher accrued payroll from an increased number of hours worked at the end of the second quarter compared to the end of the year 2004. This liability consists primarily of union and non-union payroll, and payroll withholdings, health and welfare benefits owed to the unions representing the Company’s electricians and technicians, and other payroll related obligations. This liability will vary between reporting periods based on the fact that payroll taxes decrease as the tax obligation thresholds for some of the taxes are exceeded. The combined payroll, payroll tax and benefit amounts should fluctuate with the revenues of the Company and as such, represents a main cash use of the Company’s funds. As revenues increase, the amounts due for these types of expenses will increase as well. These liabilities are normally short-term in nature with most of them being paid within one to six weeks of the expense being incurred.
The bank line of credit was approximately $3,953,000 at July 2, 2005. This is a decrease of $440,000 from $4,393,000 outstanding at January 1, 2005, and is due to a lower base of accounts receivable on which the Company can borrow. This lending facility is a primary source of funds for the Company. Amounts are drawn against it each day based on the amount of eligible revenues that are billed by the Company. As receivables are collected daily, those funds are used to pay down the facility. The facility has a limit of $5,000,000 and borrowings are based on 85% of eligible accounts receivable. As of July 2, 2005, based on eligible receivables, the Company had no available borrowing capacity.

On January 22, 2004, the Company entered into a Contract of Sale and Security Agreement with Destination Capital LLC (Destination) under which the Company agreed to sell up to 15% of its acceptable, eligible accounts receivable to Destination, in exchange for borrowing up to $600,000 from that entity under the terms of a Promissory Note. The Company borrowed $600,000 under this facility. In April 2004, the Company raised an additional $1,750,000 through the issuance of Series 4 preferred shares, a portion of which was used to pay off the $600,000 borrowed in January 2004, with the remainder to be used for operating capital by the Company. In August 2004, the Company entered into a second borrowing agreement with Destination Capital, LLC. Under this loan agreement, the Company borrowed $1,200,000 to be used for operating capital. As of July 2, 2005, there was $1,158,000 outstanding under that loan.
The Company and its subsidiary have suffered recurring losses from ongoing operations and have experienced negative cash flows from continuing operating activities during 2004 and 2003. As of July 2, 2005 the Company had negative working capital of $4,189,000, total liabilities of $11,289,000 and an accumulated deficit of $29,744,000. While it is anticipated that the losses from continuing operations will decline as a result of cost reduction efforts, debt conversions and fundraising events, recurring losses and liquidity issues raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. While, the Company may not have sufficient resources to satisfy cash requirements for the next twelve months, by adjusting its operations to the level of capitalization, the Company believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits. However, if during that period or thereafter, the Company is not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to it, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.
The Company may have to seek additional investment capital or debt facilities. Investment capital or debt facilities may be difficult to obtain due to, among other issues, the Company’s prior financial performance. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available or, if available, will be at terms acceptable to the Company. The Company is continuing to focus on opportunities to increase revenues and grow margins while reducing monthly expenses in an attempt to turn cash flow positive and achieve pre-tax profitability.
The Company had no commitments for capital expenditures in material amounts at July 2, 2005.
The independent auditor’s report on the Company’s January 1, 2005 financial statements included in this Annual Report states that the Company’s recurring losses raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Inflation
In the opinion of management, inflation will not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of its operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Table of Contents

The Company does not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor does it participate in any non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.
TRENDS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company has sought to identify what it believes to be the most significant risks to its business, but cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can it guarantee that it has identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s Common Stock.
CAUTIONARY FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
The Company provides the following cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to its business, products and services. These are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors besides those listed here could adversely affect the Company.
Potential Fluctuations in Annual Operating Results
Annual operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, most of which are outside the Company’s control, including: the demand for the Company’s products and services; seasonal trends in purchasing, the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the real estate construction and development; price competition or pricing changes in the market; technical difficulties or system downtime; general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the construction industry.
Annual results may also be significantly impacted by the impact of the accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters. Particularly at the Company’s early stage of development, such accounting treatment can have a material impact on the results for any quarter. Due to the foregoing factors, among others, it is likely that operating results may fall below expectations or those of investors in some future quarter.
Dependence Upon Management
Future performance and success is dependant upon the efforts and abilities of the Company’s management. To a very significant degree, the Company is dependent upon the continued services of A. Mark Walter, the President and member of the Board of Directors. If the services of either Mr. Walter, or other key employees were lost before the Company could get qualified replacements, the loss could materially adversely affect the Company’s business. The Company does not maintain key man life insurance on any of our Management.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The Company’s officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and high integrity in Management affairs. The Articles of Incorporation provide, however, that officers and directors shall have no liability to shareholders for losses sustained or liabilities incurred which arise from any transaction in their respective managerial capacities unless they violated their duty of loyalty, did not act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated the law, approved an improper dividend or stock repurchase, or derived an improper benefit from the transaction. The Articles and By-Laws also provide for the indemnification by the Company of the officers and directors against any losses or liabilities they may incur as a result of the manner in which they operate the business or conduct the internal affairs, provided that in connection with these activities they act in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believe to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and their conduct does not constitute gross negligence, misconduct or breach of fiduciary obligations.

Continued Control of Current Officers and Directors
The present officers and directors own or control approximately 51% of the Company’s outstanding voting shares of Common Stock and common stock equivalents, and therefore are in a position to elect all of our Directors and otherwise control the Company, including, without limitation, authorizing the sale of equity or debt securities of Microfield, the appointment of officers, and the determination of officers’ salaries. Shareholders have no cumulative voting rights. (See Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-KSB)
Management of Growth
The Company may experience growth, which will place a strain on its managerial, operational and financial systems resources. To accommodate its current size and manage growth if it occurs, the Company must devote management attention and resources to improve its financial strength and operational systems. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to effectively manage its existing operations or the growth of its operations, or that its facilities, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support any future growth. The Company’s ability to manage operations and any future growth will have a material effect on its stockholders.
If the Company fails to remain current on reporting requirements, it could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
      Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If the Company fails to remain current on its reporting requirements, it could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for the Company’s securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
The Company’s common stock is subject to the “Penny Stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in its securities is limited, which makes transactions in its stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the Company’s stock.
      The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to the Company, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
    that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and
 
    the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
 In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
    obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
 
    make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

30


Table of Contents

    sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
 
    that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
               Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of the Company’s common stock and cause a decline in the market value of its stock.
               Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its President and acting Chief Financial Officer, of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange). Based on his evaluation, the President concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures need improvement and were not adequately effective as of July 2, 2005 to ensure timely reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management is in the process of identifying deficiencies with respect to the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and implementing corrective measures, which includes the establishment of new internal policies related to financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As required by Rule 13a-15(d), Microfield management, including the President, also conducted an evaluation of Microfield’s internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Microfield’s internal control over financial reporting. During the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the quarter ended July 2, 2005, the Company has concluded that the current system of disclosure controls and procedures was not effective because of the internal control weaknesses identified below. As a result of this conclusion, the Company has initiated the changes in internal control also described below. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

Deficiencies and Corrective Actions Relating to the Company’s Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During the course of the audit of the Company’s January 1, 2005 financial statements, the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm identified certain material weaknesses relating to the Company’s internal controls and procedures within the areas of revenue recognition, accounts payable, cash disbursements, inventory accounting and document retention. Certain of these internal control deficiencies may also constitute deficiencies in the Company’s disclosure controls.
In order to review the financial condition and prepare the financial disclosures in this document, the Company’s officers have been responding to recommendations from the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm to properly and accurately account for the financial information contained in this Form 10-QSB. Detailed validation work was done by internal personnel with respect to all material consolidated balance sheet account balances to substantiate the financial information that is contained in this Form 10-QSB. Additional analysis was performed on consolidated income statement amounts for reasonableness. Management is in the process of implementing a more effective system of controls, procedures and other changes in the areas of revenue recognition, accounts payable, cash disbursements, inventory accounting and document retention to insure that information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Among the changes implemented are:
Revenue recognition
    Criteria and procedures established defining approved customer contracts
 
    Control function established to review and monitor compliance to new procedures
 
    Improved document control and file check out procedures
 
    Procedure established defining consistent percentage completion Gross Margin estimation process
Cash Disbursements and liability recognition
    Document control system established and monitored for compliance
 
    Cut off procedures formalized and consistently applied
 
    Centralized departmental budgets and accountability established
 
    Purchasing procedures have been formalized and implementation has begun
Account Reconciliations
    Procedures established and personnel assigned to reconcile key accounts on a timely basis
 
    Control function added to review reconciliations
In addition to the above, the Company made the following changes during the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2005 in our internal control over financing reporting:
Lack of Adequate Accounting Staff
      The Company was aware of its staffing needs and took steps to address its understaffed Finance and Accounting team to correct this material weakness. During the quarter ended July 2, 2005, the Company engaged an independent contractor with extensive CFO-level management and SEC reporting experience in public companies. The Company feels this addition to the Finance and Accounting team will improve the quality of future periodic financial reporting.
Timely Closing of the Books
      Management identified a material weakness based on the Company’s delay in closing its books. To correct this material weakness, checklists have been developed delineating tasks, preparation responsibilities, and review responsibilities targeting specific completion dates. The checklists provide evidentiary support of work performed and reviewed. In the future, specific checklist will be developed for non-quarter end months, quarter end months, and the annual close. These checklists have been developed

32


Table of Contents

and were implemented in the 2nd quarter 2005 close process and utilized in the preparation of the 2nd quarter 2005 Form 10-QSB and subsequent period ends.
The Company’s officers have been working with the Board of Directors to address recommendations from the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm regarding deficiencies in the disclosure controls and procedures. The Company is currently engaged in the implementation of a new internal software system and associated new internal control procedures. Management expects that this system along with new associated procedures, once implemented, will correct the deficiencies and will result in disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act that will timely alert the President to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company’s Exchange Act filings.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In March, 2004, Kurt Underwood (former President/CEO of Microfield Group, Inc.) filed a lawsuit in Multnomah County Circuit Court, Portland, Oregon under case number 0403-02370 against Robert J. Jesenik, Aequitas Capital Management (formerly known as JMW Capital Partners), Destination Capital, LLC, Microfield Group, Inc., Christenson Electric, Inc., Steven M. Wright, Andrew S. Craig, Thomas A. Sidley, R. Patrick Hanlin, Michael Stansell, Brian A. Oliver, Brian N. Christopher, Kevin D. Robertson, Christenson Group, LLC, and Christenson Velagio, Inc. The lawsuit alleges that the Defendants violated Oregon securities law and Oregon common law in connection with the following transactions (which closed simultaneously in September 2003): (1) the merger of CTS Acquisition Co. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) with and into Christenson Technology Services, Inc.; and (2) the merger of VSI Acquisition Co. (A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) with and into Velagio, Inc. In addition, the lawsuit alleges that Mr. Underwood was terminated as an employee entitling him to severance pay. The lawsuit seeks damages of approximately $1.4 million. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit, however at the date of this filing, the outcome of this matter is uncertain. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relative to this uncertainty, but since the legal expenses to vigorously defend this suit are probable, a legal reserve in the amount of $395,000 was estimated with counsel, accrued as a liability and charged to earnings in the period ended April 3, 2004.
On May 27, 2004, the Company, certain executives, board members and related companies filed two separate answers, affirmative defenses, and counterclaims against Mr. Underwood in Multnomah County Circuit Court alleging violations of Oregon Securities law and Oregon common law in connection with the above named transactions. In addition, the countersuit claims that Mr. Underwood was terminated by the Company for good cause. The lawsuit seeks damages of not less than $2.5 million and return of the 3.4 million shares of Microfield stock held by Mr. Underwood in exchange for the return of the shares of Velagio stock held by the Company.
On May 11, 2005 the Company and Mr. Underwood entered into a Settlement Agreement under which both parties agreed to drop their respective lawsuits. The Settlement Agreement provides that the Company and certain defendants will jointly and severally purchase Mr. Underwood’s Microfield Stock for the aggregate purchase price of $362,500. The purchase price will be allocated as follows: $50,000 to the purchase of Mr. Underwood’s 119,050 Series 2 preferred shares and the balance to the purchase of Mr. Underwood’s 3,404,958 common shares. Additionally, the Settlement Agreement terminates Mr. Underwood’s Microfield Warrant. Microfield assigned its right to purchase Underwood’s shares under the Settlement Agreement to Energy Fund II, LLC, a related party. Payment under the Settlement Agreement occurred as scheduled on August 1, 2005.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
  (a)   None
 
  (b)   None
 
  (c)   There have been no purchases of common stock by the Company or its affiliates during the quarter ended July 2, 2005
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
At the date of this report, the Company was in arrearage on the payment of dividends on Series 2 preferred stock, Series 3 preferred stock and Series 4 preferred stock in the amount of $583,855. Under the terms of the issuances of these series of preferred stock, dividends are declared at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors, and will be paid when funds for payment are legally available.
