NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 1, 2006
(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-Q. 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 1, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 30, 2006. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 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,” “Microfield,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) through its subsidiaries Christenson Electric, Inc. (“CEI”) and EnergyConnect, Inc. (“ECI”) specializes in the installation of electrical, control, and telecommunications products and services, and in transactions involving integration of consumers of electricity into the wholesale electricity markets. The Company’s objective is to leverage our assets and resources and build a viable, profitable, energy and electrical services infrastructure business.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Microfield and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Christenson Electric, Inc. and EnergyConnect, 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 30, 2006. The Company’s last fiscal year was the 53-week period ended January 1, 2005.

Stock Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and six months ended July 1, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the three and six months ended July 1, 2006 was $478,248 and $975,590, respectively.
SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense had been recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations because the exercise price of the Company’s stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended July 1, 2006 included compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123 and compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.
Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company is using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for share-based awards granted beginning in fiscal 2006, which was also previously used for the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and certain other market variables such as the risk free interest rate.
The following table shows the effect on net earnings and earnings per share had compensation cost been recognized based upon the estimated fair value on the grant date of stock options for the three and six months ended July 2, 2005, in accordance with SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”:

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 six months ended July 1, 2006, the holders of these warrants exercised 1,239,600 warrants in exchange for 1,111,795 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. During the six months ended July 1, 2006, the holders of these warrants exercised 33,231 warrants in exchange for 33,231 shares of the Company’s common stock (Note 2).

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. During the six months ended July 1, 2006, the holders of these warrants exercised 83,333 warrants in exchange for 83,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (Note 2).
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.

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

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 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.

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.

During the six months ended July 1, 2006, the holders of these warrants exercised 54,235 warrants in exchange for 42,274 shares of the Company’s common stock (Note 2).
Since these warrants are subject to certain registration rights, the Company recorded a warrant liability totaling $6,286,919 in accordance with EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” The warrant liability has subsequently been recalculated using the closing price of the company’s common stock as of December 31, 2005 of $2.50. The registration rights provide for the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) no later that 60 days after the closing of the transaction and have it declared effective by the SEC no later than 120 days after the closing of the transaction. The registration statement was filed with the SEC on February 13, 2006. This filing was declared effective on June 8, 2006. On August 2, 2006, a post-effective amendment was filed which suspended the effectiveness of this registration. This amendment was declared effective by the SEC on August 9, 2006.

4. Debt
Operating Line of Credit
As of July 1, 2006, the Company has a $10,000,000 credit facility. At December 31, 2005, the Company had two lines of credit with this lender for a total borrowing availability of $9,000,000. The two lines were combined and expanded to $10,000,000 in January 2006. This credit facility expires in January 2007. 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% 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 1, 2006. As of July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, borrowings of $9,999,994 and $5,840,016, respectively, were outstanding under the facility. The Company was in compliance with the terms of the borrowing facility at quarter end.
The Company has a second loan facility which is an unsecured $120,000 line of credit at prime plus 33/4%, due on demand with interest payable monthly. As of July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there was $117,454 outstanding under this line. The Company was in compliance with the terms of this line of credit at July 1, 2006.

Note Payable to Destination Capital, LLC
On August 24, 2004 we entered into a Business Loan Agreement with Destination under which we could borrow up to $2,000,000 based on Destination’s discretion and funds availability. Under the terms of the agreement, we pay 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 our assets or stock, or if there is a transfer of ownership or beneficial interest, by merger or otherwise, of our stock or our subsidiary. Additionally, we 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 us while the loan is outstanding. Beginning August 1, 2004, we were obligated to issue the following warrant amounts based on the outstanding loan balances on the first day of each month.

We were 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 our 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 our stock ranging from $0.30, to $0.60 per share. At the time these warrant obligations arose, we 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.
On August 1, 2005 the note owed to Destination was replaced by three notes, which were assigned to two related parties, Christenson Leasing Company LLC (CLC) and JMW Group, LLC (JMW). The three notes contain the following terms: $516,667 note payable to JMW with monthly payments of $41,667 plus interest at prime plus 10% beginning August 24, 2005 through August 24, 2006; $180,000 note payable to JMW with monthly payments of $5,000 plus interest at prime plus 10% beginning August 24, 2005 through July 24, 2008; $420,000 note payable to CLC with monthly payments of $11,667 plus interest at prime plus 10% beginning August 24, 2005 through July 24, 2008. In October 2005, the note to CLC and the smaller of the two notes to JMW were paid in full by CVI. Also, as a result of the renegotiation of these notes, the warrant obligation, contained in the business loan agreement was eliminated.

Note Payable to Rod Boucher
On October 13, 2005, as a part of the acquisition of EnergyConnect, we assumed the liabilities of EnergyConnect. Included in the liabilities was a note payable to Rod Boucher. Mr. Boucher became our Chief Executive Officer as of the date of the acquisition. The note represents expenses within EnergyConnect prior to its acquisition. The note is in the amount of $317,207, with monthly payments of $11,309, including interest at prime plus 10%, due on the 13th of each month through September 13, 2008. On May 8, 2006, Mr. Boucher advanced an additional $100,000 to the Company. This amount was added to the principal amount of the note. As of July 1, 2006, no payments had been made on this obligation. This loan was paid in full in August 2006.
Note Payable to William McCormick
On January 28, 2005, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with William McCormick in the amount of $250,000. Pursuant to the terms of the note, monthly payments of interest only at 15% per annum, are due on the 28th day of each month starting on February 28, 2005. The note was to be paid in full on July 28, 2005. As of the July 1, 2006 the note had not been repaid, and there was interest outstanding of $31,233. This note was repaid in full in July 2006.
Bond Guarantee Fees
Mark Walter
A certain number of CEI construction projects require us to maintain a surety bond. The bond surety company requires an additional guarantee for issuance of the bond. We have an agreement with Mark Walter, our President under which at quarter end pays Walter between $1,000 and $4,000 per month for his personal guarantee of this bond liability. The guarantee fee is computed as 10% of the open liability under bonds issued for Christenson.
William McCormick
Certain construction projects within CEI required standby letters of credit. Our chairman of the board of directors has provided two letters of credit in the amounts of $1,000,000 and $193,000, for which he is paid indemnity fees. Under the $1,000,000 letter of credit agreement, Mr. McCormick is paid a fee of 15% of the letter of credit amount. Under the $193,000 letter of credit, Mr. McCormick is paid a fee of 15% per annum of the open liability of the issuer of the letter of credit, plus 1% of the gross profit of the job requiring the letter of credit.
The letter of credit guarantee fees are calculated and accrued monthly. As of July 1, 2006, the amounts owed to Mr. McCormick under the letter of credit obligations totaled $78,960.
Other indemnifier
We also had an unrelated party guarantee a $1 million standby letter of credit issued as security for a large construction job. This party was paid a fee of 15% of the letter of credit amount for providing this security. This agreement also required a secondary indemnity, should funds be drawn against this letter of credit, the substantial majority of which was provided by Aequitas Capital Management, a related party. Robert Jesenik, a former director, is a principal shareholder and CEO of Aequitas. Aequitas charged an additional fee of 15% of the letter of credit amount. Aequitas is also indemnified by Christenson Electric should it have to indemnify the primary guarantor. This letter of credit and the related fees ended in April 2006.
Tenant improvement lease
On December 30, 2002, Christenson Electric entered into a non-cancelable operating lease agreement with Christenson Leasing, LLC (CLC) covering $300,000 of leasehold improvements in our facility. The terms of the lease call for monthly payments of $7,500 including interest at 17.3% through December 2007.

Christenson Electric was in default under the lease terms, which default was cured in March 2005, with the resumption of payments due under the lease under a modified payment plan arrangement.
On July 1, 2005, Christenson Electric entered into a promissory note with Aequitas Capital Management, a related party, covering certain equipment and furniture previously leased from Jesenik Enterprises, Inc., JW Assurance and Holding Limited, and JMW Capital Partners, Inc., each a related party. Prior to 2006, no payments had been made on these lease obligations since September 2002. At July 1, 2005, these entities assigned their interests in the obligation to Aequitas Capital, which was consolidated into one promissory note with total principal due of $90,847, interest accruing at 7% per annum, maturing at April 1, 2006, and with $5,047 monthly installment payments and, in addition, a lump sum payment of $50,000 due on October 1, 2005. As of July 1, 2006, the payments on this note had not been made as scheduled, the balance on the note was $19,907, and it was in default.
Equipment Lease Agreement
On December 31, 2002, Christenson Electric entered into a sale and leaseback agreement with Christenson Leasing, under which it sold machinery and tools, automotive equipment, and office furniture and equipment, not subject to prior liens. The agreement called for payments of $97,255 starting on January 2, 2003 through December 2007. On September 1, 2003, Christenson’s predecessor, Christenson Technology entered into a sublease agreement with Christenson Electric for use of certain equipment contained in that lease. The equipment consists of various construction vehicles, trailers, miscellaneous construction equipment, office furniture, computer hardware and software. Under the terms of the lease the formerly separate subsidiary, Christenson Velagio, paid Christenson Electric $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. In 2003, we modified the payment plan to the lessor, under which $10,000 of the monthly lease obligation was paid to the lessor in an equivalent amount of our 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.
In July 2005, the lease agreement between Christenson Electric and CLC was renegotiated, with a portion of the remaining operating lease obligation converted to a $500,000 note payable. In accordance with that agreement, the $100,000 monthly lease payment owed by CEI under the lease was reduced to $60,000 per month, starting with the payment due on November 1, 2005. The $500,000 note was paid in full by Christenson Electric in October 2005.
Master Vehicle Lease Agreements
We 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. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, we 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. In October 2005, we signed a twelve month extension to this lease at $45,000 per month, with the lease now scheduled to end in December 2007. The lease also contains an interest rate provision with the monthly payment adjusting based on any increases in the prime rate. The monthly payment in effect on July 1, 2006 is $36,350. This adjustment is made on an annual basis.
We, through our subsidiary CEI, are a party to an agreement with CLC under which CEI leases its vans and trucks. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, we pay to CLC a varying amount each month representing the lease and maintenance costs of those vehicles. The lease is a month to month agreement that is modified with each addition or removal or vehicles.

Real Property Sub Leases
On September 1, 2003, our formerly separate subsidiary, Christenson Velagio, entered into seven real property subleases with Christenson Electric, then a separate, unrelated entity, for use of buildings, offices and storage yards to house the operations and property of Christenson Velagio. Christenson Electric, as the sublessor, is party to a master property lease with an unrelated party. The monthly sublease payments totaled $54,464 through November 30, 2004. On November 30, 2004, Christenson Velagio terminated its lease with Christenson Electric for space in the Thurman Building and entered into a lease directly with the building owner for a smaller space in the building. The rent per month on the Thurman Building is $38,898. The Company moved from this space in April 2006 and is pursuing potential sublease options.
We are lessees to a facility which we subleased to a third party through February 2006. Under this lease, we pay $32,352 per month to our lessor, and received $25,000 per month from our subleasee. This agreement terminated in February, 2006. Our obligation under the master lease for this facility ends in September 2008. On April 17, 2006, the Company moved to this facility, and is searching for a tenant for the Thurman office location. As a newly combined entity, Christenson has operating activities in Portland and Eugene, Oregon.
As of April 1, 2006 our total real property lease payments totaled $87,491, of which $675 was on a month-to-month basis. The remaining $86,816 is due on leases with maturity dates between July 2007 and October 2008.
Note receivable
In 1998, John B. Conroy, then our Chairman, CEO and President, entered into a transaction whereby he purchased 45,000 shares of our common stock at $1.75 per share. Mr. Conroy issued a promissory note to us 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 us 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 1, 2006, accrued interest receivable under this note totaled $26,519. We have accounted for the $66,250 due from Mr. Conroy as a reduction in common stock equity in prior years. In May 2004, we accounted for the $12,500 amount due to Mr. Conroy and additional $637 of interest adjustment as an increase in common stock equity.

7. Private Placements
On October 5, 2005, in conjunction with a private placement which resulted in gross proceeds of $3,276,000, the Company sold 5,233,603 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share, and issued warrants to purchase up to 2,944,693 shares of common stock. The warrants have a term of five years and an exercise price of $0.90 per share.
Since these warrants are subject to certain registration rights, The Company recorded a warrant liability totaling $6,286,919 in accordance with EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” The warrant liability has been recalculated using the closing price of the company’s common stock as of December 31, 2005 of $2.50. The registration rights provide for the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) no later that 60 days after the closing of the transaction and have it declared effective by the SEC no later than 120 days after the closing of the transaction. The registration statement was filed with the SEC on February 13, 2006. This filing was declared effective on June 8, 2006. On August 2, 2006, a post-effective amendment was filed which suspended the effectiveness of this registration. This amendment was declared effective by the SEC on August 9, 2006.
The registration rights agreement has a liquidated damages provision that calls for additional shares to be issued to the investors in the event that the registration statement is not filed and declared effective within a certain period of time. In accordance with this liquidated damages provision, the Company issued an additional 440,344 shares of common stock to these investors.
The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, applying a useful life of 5 years, a risk-free rate of 4.06%, an expected dividend yield of 0%, a volatility of 129% and a deemed fair value of the common stock of $2.37, which was the closing market price on October 4, 2005. In accordance with SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” the Company revalued the warrants as of December 31, 2005 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions regarding the life and expected dividend yield were left unchanged, but the Company applied a risk free rate of 4.21% , a volatility of 128% and a deemed fair value of common stock of $2.50, which

was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2005. The difference between the fair value of the warrants on October 5, 2005 and December 31, 2005 of $503,543 was recorded as a loss on revaluation of warrant liability in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. At July 1, 2006, the warrant liability has been recalculated using the closing price of the company’s common stock as of June 30, 2006 of $3.07. This revaluation from the end of 2005 resulted in an increase of $1,436,111 in the warrant liability and has also has been recorded as a loss on revaluation of warrant liability in the consolidated statement of operations in the six months ended July 1, 2006.
On June 30, 2006, in conjunction with a private placement which resulted in gross proceeds of $15,000,000, the Company sold 7,500,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, and issued warrants to purchase up to 5,625,000 shares of common stock. The warrants have a term of five years and an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Since the warrants are subject to certain registration rights, The Company recorded a warrant liability totaling $14,758,004 in accordance with EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” The warrant liability has been recalculated using the closing price of the company’s common stock as of June 30, 2006 of $3.07. The registration rights provide for the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) no later that 90 days after the closing of the transaction and have it declared effective by the SEC no later than 120 days after the closing of the transaction. The registration statement was filed with the SEC on July 21, 2006. As of the date of this filing, the registration statement has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, applying a useful life of 5 years, a risk-free rate of 5.35%, an expected dividend yield of 0%, a volatility of 123% and a deemed fair value of the common stock of $3.07, which was the closing market price on June 30, 2006.
8. Liquidity Matters
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended July 1, 2006, the Company incurred net losses of $1,470,000.
The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations within its subsidiaries and resolve its liquidity problems. The Company recently raised $15 million in new financing. Management has been successful in cutting certain expenses, both to improve gross margins and to reduce the monthly overhead costs. While the Company anticipates it will continue to improve its bottom line results as a result of cost reduction efforts and fundraising events, its high level of debt, history of 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.
By adjusting the Company’s operations and development to the level of capitalization, management 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 them, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition. Investment capital or debt facilities may be difficult to obtain due. 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 continuing to reduce monthly expenses in an attempt to turn cash flow positive and maintain profitability before charges for non-cash intangible reductions.

Overview
We specialize in the installation of electrical products and services, and in transactions between consumers of electricity and the wholesale market. Our objective is to leverage our assets and value to successfully build a viable, profitable, and sustainable transaction-based electrical services and technology infrastructure business.
On October 13, 2005, we acquired, via merger, substantially all of the assets of EnergyConnect, Inc., a Nevada corporation. EnergyConnect merged with and into our wholly owned subsidiary, ECI Acquisition Co., an Oregon corporation, with ECI Acquisition continuing as the surviving corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary. The name of the surviving entity was changed to EnergyConnect, Inc.
As a result of the merger, we issued 27,365,305 shares of our common stock and 19,695,432 common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $2.58 per share to EnergyConnect shareholders in exchange for all the outstanding shares of EnergyConnect. We also granted options to purchase 3,260,940 shares of our common stock at $0.32 per share to the EnergyConnect option holders in connection with the assumption of the EnergyConnect Employee Stock Option Plan.
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 20, 2005 by and between us, CPS Acquisition Co., Christenson Electric, Inc. and CEAC, Inc., an Oregon corporation and sole shareholder of Christenson Electric, Inc., we acquired, substantially all of the assets, of Christenson Electric. As part of the purchase price of Christenson Electric we assumed debt in the amount of $8,916,000 and issued 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to CEAC. The value of the merger was determined based on a share price of $0.64, which was the average closing price for our common stock over the five days ending July 20, 2005. The acquisition closing date was July 20, 2005.
We specialize in the installation of electrical, control, and telecommunications products and services, and in transactions involving integration of consumers of electricity into the wholesale electricity markets. The

Company expanded through acquisitions in 2005 from an energy and related technologies and services business to a business that also provides energy consumers a new source of energy revenues and savings and the means to achieve such benefits. Included in these acquisitions are the capabilities to service high voltage facilities including wind farms and solar energy collection facilities. Two new subsidiaries have been integrated with the Christenson Velagio, Inc. (“CVI”) subsidiary this year. These are Christenson Electric, Inc. (“CEI”) in July and EnergyConnect, Inc. (ECI”) in October. In January 2006, the operations of Christenson Velagio and Christenson Electric were consolidated together to form one wholly-owned subsidiary, Christenson Electric, Inc. Currenty, Christenson Electric and EnergyConnect are the remaining wholly-owned operating subsidiaries of the Company. Our objective is to leverage our assets and resources and build a viable, profitable wholesale power transaction electrical services, and technology infrastructure business.

consumers is being expanded to include additional regions in the US. CEI also provides electrical design and construction services to utilities, grid operators and electric power generation companies nationally. ECI enables buildings and industrial electric consumers to contribute to the wholesale electric market, provides the transaction technologies and processes to integrate consumers into the wholesale electric market, and uses these capabilities to service regional electric grid operators with energy, capacity, reserves, and related needs. Integrating CEI and ECI combines the breadth of services needed to deliver full service solutions to our customers.
CEI has continuously provided electrical design, engineering, and construction services for more that 50 years. It now services all of the electrical, control, lighting, safety, security, and related systems needed for economic and secure operations of buildings and industrial sites. A substantial portion of CEI business is repeat business under long-standing relationships with it customers. CEI operates a fleet of service trucks that supply the electric related needs of hundreds of customers.
Through its work on alternative energy projects such as wind farms and solar farms, CEI has been at the forefront of the current boom in building the alternative energy distribution infrastructure. CEI will continue its historic businesses including wind farm electrical construction, maintenance and construction of substations, and maintenance and construction of distribution and transmission facilities. Christenson Electric also continues to provide services to Bonneville Power Administration and other major utilities under long-standing contractual relationships.
ECI provides wholesale electric market transaction services to regional electric grids. Selected needs of electric grid operators, including energy, capacity, and reserves have been formed into products that can be delivered through ECI systems to the grid. ECI technologies, processes, and services enable buildings and electric consumers to contribute to such wholesale services at levels and with complexities of service never before achieved. It is anticipated ECI transaction services will increase the need for many of the services supplied by CEI before the acquisition.
These services and capabilities are expected to provide the substantial majority of our sales in the foreseeable future. Our results will therefore depend on continued and increased market acceptance of these products and our ability to deliver, install and service them to meet the needs of our customers. Any reduction in demand for, or increase in competition with respect to these products could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s current acquisition strategy is to actively review target opportunities for value-added potential and pursue targets that bring significant benefits, and are strategic and accretive.
Management’s Focus in Evaluating Financial Condition and Operating Performance.
Management meets regularly to review the two main functional organizations within our subsidiaries. These organizations include Operations, which consists of customer solicitation and project work performance, and Finance and Administration, which consists of our administration and support. Based on the kinds of 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 our company.
Revenue. Sales personnel and project managers are responsible for obtaining work to be performed by us. Revenue is booked daily based on our revenue recognition policy. Where applicable, these bookings are reviewed the following day by our President, the Chief Financial Officer and several of their direct reports. Revenues of EnergyConnect are reviewed by our CEO, EnergyConnect’s President and the EnergyConnect employee in charge of technology. Decisions about various aspects of the business are made, and actions are taken based on the prior day or week’s revenue, and whether or not it met daily and weekly revenue goals and expectations. Monthly customer revenue for all three subsidiaries is also examined, in detail, as a part of a review of our financial statements for the prior month, by our executive team and board of directors.

Table of Contents

Expense Control. We have various controls in place to monitor spending. These range from authorization and approvals by the head of each subsidiary and our CFO as well as review of the periodic check runs by the CFO, and reviews of labor efficiency and utilization by the President and our project managers. An organizational team, which is comprised of the President, CFO, several department heads and key employees, meets bi-weekly to review reports that monitor expenses and cost efficiency, among other factors. Additionally, the executive team of Christenson Electric, comprised of our President, CFO and Controller, meets weekly to review the subsidiary’s operations. All expenses of EnergyConnect are reviewed and approved by the President of EnergyConnect. Each subsidiary’s financial statements are reviewed monthly with the board of directors to oversee monthly spending patterns and expenses as a part of the review of the prior month’s financial statements.
Cash Requirements. We focus 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. We review 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. Our management and the board of directors use this information in determining cash requirements.
Longer term cash needs are reviewed on a weekly basis by our Chairman, CEO, President, CFO, Controller and the EnergyConnect President. These meetings are used to determine whether we may need to enter into additional financings or debt agreements to satisfy longer term cash requirements.
Research and Development. We will spend a certain amount in the upcoming year for research and development in EnergyConnect related to development of proprietary tools and software used in the business.
Customer service. We consider our reputation as one of our most valuable assets. Much of the revenue in our Christenson subsidiaries is based either on repeat business or referrals from our loyal customer base. We review service issues and any customer feedback continually to ensure continued customer satisfaction through timely and high quality work. The same attention to customer needs and satisfaction will be integral to EnergyConnect’s business as that business is built.
Safety. Safety is of utmost importance to us and our employees. Our engineers, electricians and technicians are required to undergo regular educational seminars, which include safety training. We have well defined procedures designed to prevent accidents. Management reviews reports on our 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. We generate revenue by performing electrical service work, technology infrastructure design and installation and through transactions between energy users and regional electric grid operators. These projects are obtained by our sales force and project managers. These projects come from direct solicitation of work, the bidding process, referrals, regular maintenance relationships and repeat customer projects. Revenue from transactions are driven primarily by the acquisition of energy consumers to participate in our programs and support delivery of increasing amounts of service to regional grid operators.
Cash. We generate cash mainly through operations. Cash is borrowed daily from an asset based lender under a revolving credit facility in Christenson Electric. These borrowings are repaid through collections from customers’ accounts. Each subsidiary submits to its lender, daily summaries of customer billings, cash collections, ineligible accounts and the amount of the borrowings requested. The lender approves the submissions and deposits funds directly into each subsidiary’s bank account.
EnergyConnect started invoicing for transactions just prior to its acquisition by us. It is anticipated that its main source of cash will be from operations. This cash, combined with debt financing, if available, will be

31


Table of Contents

used to supplement cash from operations until EnergyConnect becomes cash positive on an operating basis.
We have 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. These projections are reviewed quarterly and changes are made if needed.
Opportunities and Risks. Some of the significant business risks we face, among others, include interruption in the flow of materials and supplies, changes in laws that allow for tax credits, interruption of our work force through disagreements with our union, business contraction and expansion caused by the economy, seasonality factors and our general lack of liquidity.
As a part of our regular business planning, we anticipate the effect that these risks may potentially have on our financial condition. Some of the risks are planned for contractually to minimize our liability in cases where we are subject to contract performance. Others are anticipated by forging plans for staff reductions or increases should the economy move drastically in one direction. We also continually look for additional funding sources and cash availability, both by improving operating performance internally and from external debt and equity sources, should our cash be strained by certain factors.
Business Goal Attainment.
When entering into acquisitions, our goal is to realize certain synergies within the resulting organization, save costs from eliminating duplicate processes, and come out of the combination as a profitable company. We achieved operating profitability in the first three quarters of 2005. In the fourth quarter 2005 the Company had a charge of $77,420,000 related to the impairment of goodwill acquired in the acquisition of ECI, and an additional charge of $504,000 related to the revaluation of the value of warrants issued in the October 2005 private placement. Excluding those charges provides management with results that more closely represent the operations of the business. The results exclusive of those charges show that the core operations of the business were profitable for the full year. These results in 2005 marked a turnaround from the unprofitable operations we sustained in the business in previous years. As our revenues continue to grow from new acquisitions and from internal growth, we anticipate achieving economies of scale which will help us achieve profitability and turn cash flow positive.
Trends.
A large portion of our current business is closely tied to the economy. In a down economy, our work becomes more dependent on repeat business from ongoing customer relationships. When the service, manufacturing and retail industries aren’t expanding, our service projects are more focused toward changes, adds, moves, and fixes within this customer base. We continue to see improvement in the economy at the current time. With the new customer base obtained from the acquisitions in 2005, we will experience more seasonality in our revenue base. A large portion of Christenson Electric’s business is impacted by the weather. Wind farms are located in areas of the country where the weather usually becomes severe in the winter, limiting or preventing work on those projects during the severe winter months. EnergyConnect is less affected by changes in the economy than our other subsidiaries. Its business is based on energy usage and prices. During periods of higher level energy costs, EnergyConnect may be positively affected by a down economy, in that EnergyConnect may gain more participation in its energy programs as a way for companies to defray some of their energy costs.
In the years prior to 2005, we saw a dramatic downturn in spending for technology infrastructure. This affected the technology side of our acquired businesses. It is anticipated that as the economy continues to improve, our Company will see increasing revenue from the sales of technology products and services. Also, with the passage of the latest energy bill by Congress, Christenson Electric should continue to benefit from alternative energy projects.
Critical Accounting Policies

32


Table of Contents

The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate, on an on-going basis, our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, sales returns, bad debts, excess inventory, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. Our estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Revenue recognition and allowances;
Accruals for contingent liabilities;
Inventories and reserves for shrinkage and obsolescence;
Bad debt reserves;
Purchase price allocation and impairment of intangible and long-lived assets;
Warrant Liability
Revenue recognition and allowances
Significant portions of our revenues are derived from construction and service projects. Revenues from fixed-price, cost-plus-fee, time and material and unit-price contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting which recognizes income as work on a contract progresses. Recognition of revenues and profits generally are related to costs incurred in providing the services required under the contract. Earned revenue is the amount of cost incurred on the contract in the period plus the proportional amount of gross profit earned during the same period. This method is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of completion of construction contracts in progress. Provisions for estimated losses on construction contracts in progress are made in their entirety in the period in which such losses are determined without reference to the percentage complete. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to revenue and costs, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Claims for additional revenue are not recognized until the period in which such claims are allowed. Direct contract costs include all direct labor, direct materials and some estimating costs and shop and equipment costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Revenue from discontinued operations is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, the price was fixed, title had transferred, collection of resulting receivables was probable, no customer acceptance requirements existed and there were no remaining significant obligations.
We also produce revenue through agreements with both building owners and the power grid operators. Under our agreements with facilities owners, we use and may install software and other electrical and energy related products that control energy in their buildings. In conjunction with this agreement we also contract with the power grid operators to use energy, capacity, and related ancillary services during specified times and under specified conditions. These transactions are summarized at the end of each monthly period and submitted to the power grid for settlement and approval. The transactions are recorded as revenue on the settlement date, which may fall 30-60 days after the transaction date from which the

33


Table of Contents

revenue is derived, because management feels that without an established history for this source of revenue, and the potential for disputes, that the settlement date, which is the date on which both parties agree to the amount of revenue to recognize, is the most conservative and appropriate date to use.
Accruals for contingent liabilities
We make estimates of liabilities that arise from various contingencies for which values are not fully known at the date of the accrual. These contingencies may include accruals for reserves for costs and awards involving legal settlements, costs associated with vacating leased premises or abandoning leased equipment, and costs involved with the discontinuance of a segment of a business. Events may occur that are resolved over a period of time or on a specific future date. Management makes estimates of the potential cost of these occurrences, and charges them to expense in the appropriate periods. If the ultimate resolution of any event is different than management’s estimate, compensating entries to earnings may be required.
Inventories and reserves for shrinkage and obsolescence
We adjust inventory for estimated excess and obsolete inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated fair value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. At July 1, 2006, the allowance for inventory obsolescence was $143,020 and reflects management’s current estimate of potentially obsolete inventory based on these factors. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand or competitive product developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and our reported results. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional inventory write-downs and charges against earnings may be required.
Bad debt reserves
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, and changes in customer payment terms and practices are analyzed when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. At July 1, 2006, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $229,797. This allowance was determined by reviewing customer accounts and considering each customer’s creditworthiness as of July 1, 2006, and the potential that some of these accounts may be uncollectible. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances and charges against earnings may be required.
Purchase price allocation and impairment of intangible and long-lived assets
Intangible and long-lived assets to be held and used, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset, and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for intangible and long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset as estimated using a discounted cash flow model.
We measure the carrying value of goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisitions for potential impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” To apply SFAS 142, a company is divided into separate “reporting units,” each representing groups of products that are separately managed. For this purpose, we have one reporting unit. To determine whether or not goodwill may be impaired, a test is required at least annually, and more often when there is a change in circumstances that could result in an impairment of goodwill. If the trading of our common stock is below book value for a sustained period, or if other negative trends occur in our results of operations, a goodwill impairment test will be performed by comparing book value to estimated market value. To the extent goodwill is determined to be impaired, an impairment charge is recorded in accordance with SFAS 142.

Warrant Liability
In connection with the placement of certain debt instruments during the second quarter 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, we issued freestanding warrants. Although the terms of the warrants do not provide for net-cash settlement, in certain circumstances, physical or net-share settlement is deemed to not be within our control and, accordingly, we are required to account for these freestanding warrants as a derivative financial instrument liability, rather than as shareholders’ equity.
The warrant liability is initially measured and recorded at its fair value, and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as non-cash charges or credits to earnings. For warrant-based derivative financial instruments, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to value the warrant liability.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
Results of Operations
The financial information presented for the three and six months ended July 1, 2006, represents activity in Microfield Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CEI and ECI. The financial information presented for the three and six months ended July 2, 2005 represents activity in Microfield and its previously separate subsidiary CVI, as the acquisitions of CEI and ECI did not occur until later in the fiscal year 2005. Since there is neither revenue nor expense from the separate business previously named CEI, and from ECI included in the totals for the three and six months ended July 1, 2006, comparisons between the current three and six month totals, and those from the same periods in 2005, are not meaningful.
Sales. Revenue for the three months ended July 1, 2006 was $24,298,000 compared to $9,007,000 for the three months ended July 2, 2005. This also compares to revenue of $15,833,000 in the first quarter of 2006. This increase in revenue between the second quarters of 2006 and 2005, is a direct result of the Company’s acquisitions of CEI and ECI. Sales within CEI totaled $23,985,000 and include revenue from utility and wind projects that were not a part of the business in the second quarter 2005. Revenues within ECI were $313,000 for the second quarter 2006 and represent revenues from transactions occurring mainly in the months of February, March and April 2006. The Company 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.
Sales to one customer comprised 23% of the Company’s total sales for the three months ended July 1, 2006. There were no sales to any customers that exceeded 10% of total revenue in the three months ended July 2, 2005.
Revenue for the six months ended was $40,132,000 compared to $17,901,000 for the six months ended July 2, 2005. Sales within CEI and ECI for the six month period in 2006 totaled $38,992,000 and $1,140,000, respectively. There were sales to one customer that comprised 22% of total revenue in the six months ended July 1, 2006. There were no sales any customers during the six months ended July 2, 2005 that exceeded 10% of the Company’s total sales for that period.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales totaled $21,458,773 (or 88.3% of sales) for the fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2006, compared to $7,093,000 (or 78.8% of sales) for the same period in the prior year. This increase in costs coincides with the higher levels of sales in the current year quarter, and reflects the inclusion of costs of both CEI and ECI, which are not included in the prior year’s costs. Cost of sales for the six months ended July 1, 2006 was $34,518,000 compared to 14,098,000 for the six months ended July 2, 2005. 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 1, 2006 was $2,840,000 (or 11.7%) compared to $1,913,000 (or 21.2%) for the same period in 2005. This decrease in gross margin of 9.5% of total sales is due primarily to lower margin business associated with the wind projects that were part of the operations purchased in the acquisition of CEI. The Company also took a $400,000 reserve for a dispute on a power transmission project that was in process at the time of the acquisition of CEI. That project is scheduled to be complete in the third quarter of 2006, at which time the disposition of the reserve should be determined. Gross profit for the six months ended July 1, 2006 was $5,613,000 (or 14.0%) compared to $3,804,000 (or 21.2%) for the same period in 2005.
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, an emphasis on obtaining higher gross margin work projects and diligent management and oversight of project costs.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $4,093,000 (16.7% of sales) for the three months ended July 1, 2006, compared to $1,632,000 (18.0% of sales) for the three months ended July 2, 2005. This increase is due to the added operating costs of the acquired companies, CEI and ECI that were not included in the 2005 numbers. Sequential quarterly operating expenses increased from first quarter 2006 expenses of $3,827,000 (24.2% of sales) but were significantly lower as a percentage of sales in the second quarter. Operating expenses are comprised mainly of payroll costs, facilities and equipment rent, outside services, insurance, utilities and depreciation. Payroll costs, which include salary, payroll taxes, fringe benefits, and stock based compensation expense totaled $2,671,000 for the three months ended July 1, 2006 compared to $1,259,000 in the three months ended July 2, 2005. This increase is primarily due to the added payroll costs of the two newly acquired businesses that were not included in the amounts in 2005. Additionally, stock based compensation expense totaled $478,000 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to none in the second quarter of 2005. The Company was not required to charge that expense against earnings in 2005.
Total rents for the three months ended July 1, 2006 were $287,000, which was primarily comprised of facilities rent. This is compared to $153,000 of rent incurred in the three months ended July 2, 2005. This increase is due primarily to additional rent obligations acquired through the acquisitions of Christenson Electric. CEI subleased space for which it was primarily liable, to a third party. That sublease terminated in February 2006. Outside services, professional fees, insurance, utilities and depreciation for the three months ended July 1, 2006 totaled $684,000, compared to $139,000 for the three months ended July 2, 2005. The increase is due to added costs from the acquired entities which included $325,000 in software development costs in ECI. There were also increased costs during the current quarter associated with the transfers of stock by multiple shareholders, and the legal opinions associated with those transfers. These costs totaled $76,000 in the second quarter 2006 compared to none in the second quarter of 2005. The prior year quarter also included a reduction of $120,000 in legal fees from the reversal of expenses accrued in prior periods in connection with a lawsuit.
Operating expenses were $7,759,000 (19.3% of sales) for the six months ended July 1, 2006, compared to $3,226,000 (18.0% of sales) for the six months ended July 2, 2005. The increase is due to the addition of the two acquired companies and the operating costs associated with them. Operating costs were also affected by the charge for stock based compensation, which was $975,590 for the six months ended July 1, 2006, compared to none in the six months ended July 2, 2005. The Company was not required to charge stock based compensation expense against earnings in 2005.
The level of operating expense for the 2006 is anticipated to continue to be significantly higher compared to the level incurred in the 2005 due to the addition of the costs from the two acquired business that were not in the expense totals for the full twelve months of 2005. CEI was acquired in July of 2005, and ECI was acquired in October 2005. The Company anticipates expenses, operating expenses will approximate between 17% and 24% of sales for 2006.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $322,000 for the three months ended July 1, 2006, compared to $401,000 for the three months ended July 2, 2005. Interest expense decreased periods due to interest expense on warrants issued in association with debt. The Company’s maximum borrowing capacity was $10,120,000 in the current quarter of 2006 compared to a maximum $6,000,000 capacity in the same period of 2005. Included in interest for 2005 was $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.
Interest expense was $845,000 for the six months ended July 1, 2006 compared to $784,000 for the six months ended July 2, 2005. Interest expense increased from the prior year due mainly to higher market rates of interest and to higher outstanding balances under the Company’s operating line of credit over this six month period. The Company recorded $321,000 in non-cash interest expense associated with the warrant cost under the terms of the Destination Capital note in the six months ended July 2, 2005. Excluding the effect of these non-cash interest charges, interest expense was $463,000 for the six months ended July 2, 2005.
Derivative income/expense. The Company recorded derivative expense of $1,436,000 in the first six months of 2006. This is a result of the re-valuation of a warrant obligation initially recorded in the October 2005 private placement. In accordance with SFAS 131, this warrant obligation is required to be marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period, with the resulting increase or decrease in its value being recorded as derivative income or expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for that period. This compares to derivative income in the first six months of 2005 of $32,000 from the re-measurement of an embedded derivative. These derivative income and expense amounts are recorded based on the fluctuations of the Black Scholes value of the derivative liabilities listed on the consolidated balance sheet. The expense is computed using the fair value of the Company’s common stock, among other factors, and will produce derivative expense or derivative income as the Company’s stock price increases or decreases, respectively.
Gain / Loss From Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations are 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.” The amount of $17,068 received in the first quarter 2006 is the last payment to be received by the Company under the royalty agreement.
Income Taxes. There was no provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 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 1, 2006, the Company had positive working capital of approximately $7,118,000 and its primary source of liquidity consisted of cash and its operating line of credit.
Accounts receivable increased to $12,894,000 at July 1, 2006 from $8,558,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase is due to the larger volume of business in process at July 1, 2006 than was in process at the end of the prior year. The alternative energy projects, specifically those in the wind energy sector, are typically undertaken in the spring, summer and fall months, and slow down over the winter months due to severe weather in those areas. Company receivables are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $230,000 and $229,000 at July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Management expects these receivables

37


Table of Contents

to remain fairly constant as a percentage of sales in year over year comparisons, decreasing slightly as efficiencies in the billing and collection processes are achieved. At July 1, 2006, one customer’s outstanding receivable balance accounted for 21% of total outstanding accounts receivable.
Inventory decreased to $327,000 at July 1, 2006 from $721,000 at December 31, 2005. This decrease is due to a large portion of the inventory on hand at year end being fully utilized on a specific project early in the first quarter of 2006. Sequentially, this balance increased by $12,000 from April 1, 2006 due primarily to seasonal fluctuations. 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.
The Company recorded costs in excess of billings, which reflect those costs incurred on construction and services, which have not yet been billed to customers. This amount increased by $2,956,000 to $4,995,000 at July 1, 2006 from $2,039,000 at December 31, 2005, due to several large projects outstanding at July 1, 2006 which were under-billed on that date. This should remain relatively constant as a percentage of sales on an ongoing basis.
Property and equipment, net of depreciation increased by $94,000 to $545,000 at July 1, 2006, compared to $451,000 at December 31, 2005. This increase was due primarily to the purchase of office equipment in the amount of approximately $25,000, leasehold improvement costs of $75,000 associated with the company’s move to a new location, less normal depreciation on fixed assets. The Company does not anticipate spending significant amounts to acquire fixed assets for the foreseeable future.
Accounts payable increased by $2,899,000 to $10,041,000 at April 1, 2006 from $7,142,000 at December 31, 2005. This increase is due to the higher levels of payables associated with increased activity at the end of the second quarter compared to the activity levels at December 31, 2005. 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.
Accrued payroll, payroll taxes and benefits were $3,105,000 at July 1, 2006. These amounts consist 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 reflecting the increased or decreased activity levels, and as such, represents a main cash use of the Company’s funds. These liabilities are primarily short-term in nature with most of them being paid within one to six weeks of the expense being incurred.
The main bank line of credit was approximately $10,000,000 at July 1, 2006 compared to a balance of $5,840,000 at December 31, 2005. 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. With the completion of the Company’s private placement on June 30, 2006, a significant portion of this facility was paid down. In future periods, when there exists no outstanding balance under the line, collected funds will be remitted by the lender, to the Company as they are collected. The facility has a limit of $10,000,000 and borrowings are based on 90% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 50% of work in process, up to a total of 95% of eligible collateral. In July 2006, after the Company significantly reduced the amount outstanding under the line, the advance rate, which had been increased as an accommodation to the Company, was revised back down to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, with no inclusion of work in process in the borrowing base. As of July 1, 2006, based on eligible receivables, the Company had no available borrowing capacity. The Company has an additional line of credit that is for $120,000 and is unsecured. There was approximately $117,000 outstanding under this line at July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
In August 2004, the Company entered into a borrowing agreement with Destination Capital, LLC. Under this loan agreement, the Company borrowed $1,200,000 to be used for operating capital. On August 1,

2005, the Company entered into an agreement to split this debt into three separate promissory notes in the amounts of $516,667, $420,000 and $180,000. These notes were then assigned to two related parties, JMW Group and CLC. The $420,000 and the $180,000 loans were paid off in conjunction with the October 2005 private placement. As of July 1, 2006, due to required monthly payments, there was $83,000 due under the remaining outstanding loan.
The Company and its subsidiary have suffered recurring losses from ongoing operations and have experienced negative cash flows from continuing operating activities during 2005 and the first two quarters of 2006. As of July 1, 2006 as a result of the private placement completed on June 30, 2006, the Company had working capital of $7,118,000, total liabilities of $50,048,000 (of which $22,985,000 is the result of an imbedded derivative associated with outstanding warrant liabilities) and an accumulated deficit of $111,664,000. The Company has reduced its operating losses significantly from prior years. The current operating loss of $2,145,000 for the six months ended July 1, 2006 includes $976,000 in stock based compensation expense and $259,000 of expense due to the amortization of intangible assets. Because of these reduced operating losses, and the reduction of a significant portion of debt as a result of the capital infusion on June 30, 2006, the Company believes it will have sufficient capital resources to meet projected operating cash flow needs for the next twelve months.
The Company had no commitments for capital expenditures in material amounts at July 1, 2006.
Our independent certified public accountants have stated in their report, which is included with our audited financial statements in the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, that we have incurred operating losses in the last two years and that we are dependent on management’s ability to raise capital and develop profitable operations. These factors, among others, may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. By adjusting its operations and development to the level of capitalization, management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits. Any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty. If our capital requirements vary materially from those planned, we may require additional financing sooner than anticipated. We are not assured that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we issue equity securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which could restrict our operations or finances. If we cannot raise funds or sell assets, if needed, on acceptable terms, we may not be able to continue our operations, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements which could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
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
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. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in the registrant’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
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.
We Have a History Of Losses Which May Continue and Which May Negatively Impact Our Ability to Achieve Our Business Objectives.
     We incurred a net loss of $4,169,723 for the six months ended July 1, 2006 and losses of $77,953,193 and $6,181,683 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. The loss for the six months ended July 1, 2006 includes expenses of $2,671,000 due to non-cash charges for stock based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and the re-valuation of a warrant liability. Of the loss amount in 2005, $77,419,759 was due to a non-cash write-off of impaired goodwill from the ECI transaction, and other intangible asset, non-cash impairment charges, and in addition included a charge of $503,543 for the non-cash re-valuation of a warrant liability. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks and

competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors. Additionally, as we continue to incur losses, our accumulated deficit will continue to increase, which might make it harder for us to obtain financing in the future. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us, which could result in reducing or terminating our operations.
If We Are Experience Continuing Losses and Are Unable to Obtain Additional Funding Our Business Operations Will be Harmed and If We Do Obtain Additional Financing Our Then Existing Shareholders May Suffer Substantial Dilution.
     We will require additional funds to sustain and expand our research and development activities. We anticipate that we will require up to approximately $2,000,000 to fund our anticipated research and development operations for the next twelve months, depending on revenue from operations. Additional capital may be required to effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement our overall business strategy. Even if we do receive additional financing, it may not be sufficient to sustain or expand our research and development operations or continue our business operations.
     There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our research and development plans. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.
Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Has Expressed Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue As a Going Concern, Which May Hinder Our Ability to Obtain Future Financing.
     In their report dated February 24, 2006, our independent registered public accounting firm stated that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised due to our incurring net losses of $77,953,193 and $6,181,683, for the years ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. With the funds obtained in the June 30, 2006 private placement, our ability to continue as a going concern was greatly enhanced. Our continued viability is subject to our ability to generate profits to sustain the operating cash flow needs for future periods. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
Many Of Our Competitors Are Larger and Have Greater Financial and Other Resources than We Do and Those Advantages Could Make It Difficult For Us to Compete With Them.
     The electrical products and services industry is extremely competitive and includes several companies that have achieved substantially greater market shares than we have, have longer operating histories, have larger customer bases, and have substantially greater financial, development and marketing resources than we do. If overall demand for our products should decrease it could have a materially adverse affect on our operating results.
     The Failure To Manage Our Growth In Operations And Acquisitions Of New Product Lines And New Businesses Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Us.
     The expected growth of our operations (as to which no representation can be made) will place a significant strain on our current management resources. To manage this expected growth, we will need to improve our:
    operations and financial systems;

40


Table of Contents

    procedures and controls; and
 
    training and management of our employees.
     Our future growth may be attributable to acquisitions of new product lines and new businesses. We expect that future acquisitions, if successfully consummated, will create increased working capital requirements, which will likely precede by several months any material contribution of an acquisition to our net income.
     Our failure to manage growth or future acquisitions successfully could seriously harm our operating results. Also, acquisition costs could cause our quarterly operating results to vary significantly. Furthermore, our stockholders would be diluted if we financed the acquisitions by incurring convertible debt or issuing securities.
     Although we currently only have operations within the United States, if we were to acquire an international operation; we will face additional risks, including:
    difficulties in staffing, managing and integrating international operations due to language, cultural or other differences;
 
    Different or conflicting regulatory or legal requirements;
 
    Foreign currency fluctuations; and
 
    diversion of significant time and attention of our management.
Potential future acquisitions could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results.
     Since September 2004, we have acquired three companies and we intend to further expand our operations through targeted, strategic acquisitions over time. This may require significant management time and financial resources because we may need to integrate widely dispersed operations with distinct corporate cultures. Our failure to manage future acquisitions successfully could seriously harm our operating results. Also, acquisition costs could cause our quarterly operating results to vary significantly. Furthermore, our stockholders would be diluted if we financed the acquisitions by incurring convertible debt or issuing securities.
Goodwill Recorded On Our Balance Sheet May Become Impaired, Which Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Operating Results.
     As a result of each of the acquisitions we have been a party to, we have recorded a significant amount of goodwill. As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” we annually evaluate the potential impairment of goodwill that was recorded at each acquisition date. Circumstances could change which would give rise to an impairment of the value of that recorded goodwill. This potential impairment would be charged as an expense to the statement of operations which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, we wrote off, approximately $77 million of goodwill due to impairment testing of this asset. No goodwill or intangible asset value was written off in the six months ended July 1, 2006.
If We Are Unable to Retain the Services of Messrs. Boucher and Walter, or If We Are Unable to Successfully Recruit Qualified Managerial and Sales Personnel Having Experience in Business, We May Not Be Able to Continue Our Operations.
     Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of Mr. Rodney M. Boucher, our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. A. Mark Walter, our President. We do not have employment agreements with Messrs. Boucher or Walter. Loss of the services of Messrs. Boucher or Walter could have a material

41


Table of Contents

adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We do not maintain key-man insurance on the life of Messrs. Boucher or Walter. We are not aware of any named executive officer or director who has plans to leave us or retire. In addition, in order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified managerial and sales personnel having experience in business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.
Our success is dependent on the growth in energy management and curtailment programs, and the continued need for electrical construction and technology services, and to the extent that such growth slows and the need for services curtail, our business may be harmed.
     The construction services industry has experienced a drop in demand since 2000 both in the United States and internationally. Recently, however, that trend has reversed in response to a turnaround in the capital markets, renewed growth in the construction industry, passage of favorable energy tax legislation by Congress, and a vibrant real estate market. It is difficult to predict whether these changes will result in continued economic improvement in the industries which our company serves. If the rate of growth should slow, or end users reduce their capital investments in construction related products, our operating results may decline which could cause a decline in our profits.
Our quarterly results fluctuate and may cause our stock price to decline.
     Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and will likely fluctuate in the future. As a result, we believe that period to period comparisons of our results of operations are not a good indication of our future performance. A number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, are likely to cause these fluctuations.
     The factors outside of our control include:
    Construction and energy market conditions and economic conditions generally;
 
    Timing and volume of customers’ specialty construction projects;
 
    The timing and size of construction projects;
 
    Fluctuations in demand for our services;
 
    Changes in our mix of customers’ projects and business activities;
 
    The length of sales cycles;
 
    While opportunities for transactional revenue is higher in cold weather months, adverse weather conditions, particularly during the winter season, could affect our ability to render electrical services in certain regions of the United States;
 
    The ability of certain customers to sustain capital resources to pay their trade accounts receivable balances;
 
    Reductions in the prices of services offered by our competitors; and
 
    Costs of integrating technologies or businesses that we add.
     The factors substantially within our control include:
    Changes in the actual and estimated costs and time to complete fixed-price, time-certain projects that may result in revenue adjustments for contracts where revenue is recognized under the percentage of completion method;

42


Table of Contents

    The timing of expansion into new markets;
 
    Costs incurred to support internal growth and acquisitions;
 
    Fluctuations in operating results caused by acquisitions; and
 
    The timing and payments associated with possible acquisitions.
     Because our operating results will vary significantly from quarter to quarter, our operating results may not meet the expectations of securities analysts and investors, and our common stock could decline significantly which may expose us to risks of securities litigation, impair our ability to attract and retain qualified individuals using equity incentives and make it more difficult to complete acquisitions using equity as consideration.
Failure to keep pace with the latest technological changes could result in decreased revenues.
     The market for our services is partially characterized by rapid change and technological improvements. Failure to respond in a timely and cost-effective way to these technological developments could result in serious harm to our business and operating results. We have derived, and we expect to continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenues from technology based products. As a result, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market product and service offerings that respond in a timely manner to the technological advances of our customers, evolving industry standards and changing client preferences.
Failure to properly manage projects may result in costs or claims.
     Our engagements often involve large scale, highly complex projects utilizing leading technology. The quality of our performance on such projects depends in large part upon our ability to manage the relationship with our customers, and to effectively manage the project and deploy appropriate resources, including third-party contractors, and our own personnel, in a timely manner. Any defects or errors or failure to meet clients’ expectations could result in claims for substantial damages against us. Our contracts generally limit our liability for damages that arise from negligent acts, error, mistakes or omissions in rendering services to our clients. However, we cannot be sure that these contractual provisions will protect us from liability for damages in the event we are sued. In addition, in certain instances, we guarantee customers that we will complete a project by a scheduled date or that the project will achieve certain performance standards. As a result, we often have to make judgments concerning time and labor costs. If the project experiences a problem, we may not be able to recover the additional costs we will incur, which could exceed revenues realized from a project. Finally, if we miscalculate the resources or time we need to complete a project with capped or fixed fees, our operating results could seriously decline.
During the ordinary course of our business, we may become subject to lawsuits or indemnity claims, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
     We have in the past been, and may in the future be, named as a defendant in lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings during the ordinary course of our business. These actions may seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, workers’ compensation, employment discrimination, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, consequential damages or injunctive or declaratory relief. In addition, pursuant to our service arrangements, we generally indemnify our customers for claims related to the services we provide thereunder. Furthermore, our services are integral to the operation and performance of the electric distribution and transmission infrastructure. As a result, we may become subject to lawsuits or claims for any failure of the systems that we work on, even if our services are not the cause for such failures. In addition, we may incur civil and criminal liabilities to the extent that our services contributed to any property damage or blackout. With respect to such lawsuits, claims, proceedings and indemnities, we have and will accrue reserves in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In the event that such actions or indemnities are ultimately resolved unfavorably at amounts exceeding our accrued reserves, or at material amounts, the outcome could

43


Table of Contents

materially and adversely affect our reputation, business and results of operations. In addition, payments of significant amounts, even if reserved, could adversely affect our liquidity position.
Our failure to comply with, or the imposition of liability under, environmental laws and regulations could result in significant costs.
     Our facilities and operations, including fueling and truck maintenance, repair, washing and final-stage construction, are subject to various environmental laws and regulations relating principally to the use, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and the discharge of pollutants into the air, water and land. Violations of these requirements, or of any permits required for our operations, could result in significant fines or penalties. We are also subject to laws and regulations that can impose liability, sometimes without regard to fault, for investigating or cleaning up contamination, as well as for damages to property or natural resources and for personal injury arising out of such contamination. Such liabilities may also be joint and several, meaning that we could be held responsible for more than our share of the liability involved, or even the entire amount. The presence of environmental contamination could also adversely affect our ongoing operations. In addition, we perform work in wetlands and other environmentally sensitive areas, as well as in different types of underground environments. In the event we fail to obtain or comply with any permits required for such activities, or such activities cause any environmental damage, we could incur significant liability. We have incurred costs in connection with environmental compliance, remediation and/or monitoring, and we anticipate that we will continue to do so. Discovery of additional contamination for which we are responsible, the enactment of new laws and regulations, or changes in how existing requirements are enforced, could require us to incur additional costs for compliance or subject us to unexpected liabilities.
Employee strikes and other labor-related disruptions may adversely affect our operations.
     Our electric services business is labor intensive, requiring large numbers of electricians, installers and other personnel. Subject to seasonality, approximately 85-95% of our workforce is unionized. Strikes or labor disputes with our unionized employees may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to reach agreement with any of our unionized work groups on future negotiations regarding the terms of their collective bargaining agreements, or if additional segments of our workforce become unionized, we may be subject to work interruptions or stoppages. Any of these events would be disruptive to our operations and could harm our business.
Our Trademark and Other Intellectual Property Rights May not be Adequately Protected Outside the United States, Resulting in Loss of Revenue.
     We believe that our trademarks, whether licensed or owned by us, and other proprietary rights are important to our success and our competitive position. In the course of any potential international expansion, we may, however, experience conflict with various third parties who acquire or claim ownership rights in certain trademarks. We cannot assure you that the actions we have taken to establish and protect these trademarks and other proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products as a violation of the trademarks and proprietary rights of others. Also, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent, as do the laws of the United States.
Intellectual Property Litigation Could Harm Our Business.
     Litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights is extensive in the technology industry. In the event of an intellectual property dispute, we may be forced to litigate. This litigation could involve proceedings instituted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the International Trade Commission, as well as proceedings brought directly by affected third parties. Intellectual property litigation can be extremely expensive, and these expenses, as well as the consequences should we not prevail, could seriously harm our business.

44


Table of Contents

     If a third party claims an intellectual property right to technology we use, we might need to discontinue an important product or product line, alter our products and processes, pay license fees or cease our affected business activities. Although we might under these circumstances attempt to obtain a license to this intellectual property, we may not be able to do so on favorable terms, or at all. We are currently not aware of any intellectual property rights that are being infringed nor have we received notice from a third party that we may be infringing on any of their patents.
     Furthermore, a third party may claim that we are using inventions covered by the third party’s patent rights and may go to court to stop us from engaging in our normal operations and activities, including making or selling our product candidates. These lawsuits are costly and could affect our results of operations and divert the attention of managerial and technical personnel. There is a risk that a court would decide that we are infringing the third party’s patents and would order us to stop the activities covered by the patents. In addition, there is a risk that a court will order us to pay the other party damages for having violated the other party’s patents. The technology industry has produced a proliferation of patents, and it is not always clear to industry participants, including us, which patents cover various types of products or methods of use. The coverage of patents is subject to interpretation by the courts, and the interpretation is not always uniform. If we are sued for patent infringement, we would need to demonstrate that our products or methods of use either do not infringe the patent claims of the relevant patent and/or that the patent claims are invalid, and we may not be able to do this. Proving invalidity, in particular, is difficult since it requires a showing of clear and convincing evidence to overcome the presumption of validity enjoyed by issued patents.
     Because some patent applications in the United States may be maintained in secrecy until the patents are issued, because patent applications in the United States and many foreign jurisdictions are typically not published until eighteen months after filing, and because publications in the scientific literature often lag behind actual discoveries, we cannot be certain that others have not filed patent applications for technology covered by our licensors’ issued patents or our pending applications or our licensors’ pending applications or that we or our licensors were the first to invent the technology. Our competitors may have filed, and may in the future file, patent applications covering technology similar to ours. Any such patent application may have priority over our or our licensors’ patent applications and could further require us to obtain rights to issued patents covering such technologies. If another party has filed a United States patent application on inventions similar to ours, we may have to participate in an interference proceeding declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to determine priority of invention in the United States. The costs of these proceedings could be substantial, and it is possible that such efforts would be unsuccessful, resulting in a loss of our United States patent position with respect to such inventions.
     Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
If We Fail to Remain Current on Our Reporting Requirements, We Could be Removed From the OTC Bulletin Board Which Would Limit the Ability of Broker-Dealers to Sell Our Securities and the Ability of Stockholders to Sell Their Securities in the Secondary Market.
     Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 13 or 15(d) 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 we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. Prior to May 2001 and new management, we were delinquent in our reporting requirements, having failed to file our quarterly and annual reports for the years ended 1998 – 2000 (except the quarterly reports for

45


Table of Contents

the first two quarters of 1999). We have also been delinquent in filing recent quarterly and annual reports, the last being our 10-KSB for the year 2004. There can be no assurance that in the future we will always be current in our reporting requirements.
Our Common Stock is Subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions in Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of an Investment in Our Stock.
     The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, 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:
    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 our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our 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. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.
The Company does not own or trade any financial instruments about which disclosure of quantitative and qualitative market risks are required to be disclosed.
Item 4. 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,

46


Table of Contents

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 periods covered by this Annual Report, we conducted evaluations, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange). Based on their evaluations, our CEO, President and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures need additional improvement. As of December 31, 2005 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure timely reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but needed additional improvement in general. While these controls were not absolutely effective, management and company personnel performed additional procedures that compensate for the lack of established controls. These additional procedures will continue to be performed until effective disclosure controls and procedures can be fully instituted. Our management has undergone a limited process of identifying deficiencies with respect to our disclosure controls and procedures and implementing corrective measures, which includes the establishment of new internal policies related to financial reporting. The Company hired a new CFO in September 2005, and a new Corporate Controller in February 2006. The hiring of the Corporate Controller added expertise in the area of internal controls and procedures that did not previously exist within the Company’s management. A significant component of the duties to be performed in that position will be to improve the internal controls and procedures. The Company has the objective of being in compliance with all Sarbanes-Oxley mandates as required. This objective includes a complete review and documentation of the internal controls and procedures in place, with changes to those controls and procedures as deemed necessary to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley. The Company currently has internal personnel as well as an outside firm engaged in working toward meeting this goal by the required date.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As required by Rule 13a-15(d), Microfield management, including the CEO, also conducted an evaluation of Microfield’s internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the first and second fiscal quarters 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 year ended December 31, 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.
Deficiencies and Corrective Actions Relating to the Company’s Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During the course of the audit of the Company’s December 31, 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.
The Company made three separate acquisitions during the past three years -
CVI in September 2003,
CEI in July 2005, and

47


Table of Contents

ECI in October 2005
Both CVI and CEI, now operating as a combined entity under the name Christenson Electric, Inc., where internal control weaknesses existed, were privately held before the acquisitions, and did not have formally established controls and procedures in place. The main internal control weaknesses that existed and the areas of the business involved are described below.
Revenue recognition
    Incomplete or missing customer contract files
 
    Incomplete or missing proof of sale or agreement
 
    Non-existent or limited review procedures
 
    Inconsistent application of percentage of completion estimation
Cash disbursements and liability recognition
    No standardized purchasing procedures
 
    Inadequate approval procedures
 
    Limited separation of duties
 
    Inadequate document control system
 
    Inconsistently applied period cutoff procedures
 
    Cash account reconciliations not performed timely
Other
    Accounts not reconciled for long periods of time
 
    Monthly books and records not closed timely
 
    Limited review of accounting reconciliations
 
    Lack of properly trained personnel to perform duties
 
    Inadequate inventory tracking procedures
 
    Inadequate fixed asset tracking procedures
 
    Lack of accounts receivable aging monitoring procedures
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 auditors to properly and accurately account for the financial information contained in this Form 10-Q. To begin correcting these material weaknesses, the Company has undertaken the following:
    Qualified personnel have been hired to perform additional procedures in an effort to support and substantiate account balances at period end.
 
    Detailed validation work was done by internal personnel with respect to all consolidated balance sheet account balances to substantiate the financial information that is contained in this Form 10-Q.
 
    Additional analysis was performed on consolidated income statement amounts and compared to prior period (both year over year and consecutive period) amounts for reasonableness. This additional analysis is supplemental to the audit procedures normally required for the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm to provide an opinion on the financial statements.
At July 1, 2006, certain internal control weaknesses remained. These weaknesses will be addressed in prospective quarters through management’s continuing implementation of a more effective system of controls, procedures and other changes in the areas of revenue recognition, cash disbursements, account reconciliation and document control to insure that information required to be disclosed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management

48


Table of Contents

acknowledges the existence of this problem, and has developed procedures to address them to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. Among the changes that have been implemented, or that are in the process of being 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
 
    Procedures instituted to provide for appropriate separation of duties
Other
    Procedures established and personnel assigned to reconcile key accounts on a timely basis
 
    Control function added to review reconciliations
 
    Timely closing and review of books and records
 
    Deadlines imposed for period end closings
To correct the material weakness, checklists are being developed delineating tasks, preparation responsibilities, and review responsibilities targeting specific completion dates. The checklists provide evidentiary support of work performed and review. Specific checklists are being developed for non-quarter end months, quarter end months and the annual close. These checklists continue to be developed and are being implemented in the second quarter 2006 close process and utilized in the preparation of this second quarter 2006 Form 10-Q 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, which 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 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
  (a)   The following information is being provided pursuant to Item 701 of SEC Regulation S-K.
On June 30, 2006, in conjunction with a private placement which resulted in gross proceeds of $15,000,000, the Company sold 7,500,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, and issued warrants to purchase up to 5,625,000 shares of common stock. The warrants have a term of five years and an exercise price of $3.00 per share. Since the warrants are subject to certain registration rights, The Company recorded a warrant liability totaling $14,758,004 in accordance with EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” The warrant liability has been recalculated using the closing price of the company’s common stock as of

49


Table of Contents

June 30, 2006 of $3.07.
