Restructuring and Business Climate Effect on 1st Quarter Results

As formerly revealed, the company’s first quarter of 2015 operating results were affected by inclement weather on the East Coast, where the company has its largest concentration of backlog, and by limited access to equipment to convert backlog to revenue. The limited access to equipment arose from the company’s recent financial and cash operating losses and resulting untimely payments to vendors. The company took actions to address these circumstances, counting securing new financing of up to $11.5 million, extending its bank facility on improved terms, and reducing its fixed cash operating infrastructure costs.

As a result of the company’s actions to improve its financial condition, counting using proceeds received from a capital raise to reduce its accounts payable, the company has regained access to the solar panels it needs to convert its backlog to revenue, starting with the start of the second quarter of 2015. In April, residential segment revenue was $4.0 million, as contrast to $6.9 million for the entire first quarter of 2015. The strong revenue growth in April is primarily due to the access to panels in addition to improved weather conditions.
