EXPLANATORY NOTE
As used herein, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all
references to Orion, we, us, our, Company and similar references are to Orion Energy
Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
As previously disclosed, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, we have restated our
previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the
quarter ended December 31, 2010 to reclassify our transactions under our Orion Throughput
Agreements, or OTAs, as sales-type leases instead of as operating leases.
Our prior method of accounting for OTA transactions as operating leases deferred revenue
recognition over the full term of the OTA contracts, only recognizing revenue on a monthly basis as
customer payments became due, while the upfront sales, general and administrative expenses related
to these OTA contracts were recognized immediately. On June 9, 2011, we concluded that generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, required us to reclassify our transactions under our OTAs
as sales-type leases instead of as operating leases. We voluntarily submitted our determination of
the proper accounting treatment for the OTAs for confirmation with the Office of the Chief
Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which did not object to our conclusion.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2010,
initially filed with the SEC on February 9, 2011 (Original Filing), is being filed to reflect the
financial statement restatement. Generally, for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended
December 31, 2010, this change in accounting treatment and financial statement restatements has
resulted in:
No impact to our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments; or overall cash flow;
Increases in our revenue of $0.4 million (1%), an increase in our net income of $0.1 million
(17%) and no change in our income per share of $0.03 (0%) for the quarter ended December 31, 2010,
and an increase in our revenue of $4.8 million (8%), a decrease in our net loss of $1.3 million
(233%) and a reduction in our loss per share of $0.06 (300%) for the nine months ended December 31,
2010; and
Increases
in our current assets of $4.8 million (7%), our total assets of
$1.3 million (1%), and a decrease in our total
liabilities of $0.8 million (3%) and a reduction in our retained deficit of $2.0 million (59%).
For a more detailed description of this financial statement restatement, see Note B,
Restatement of Financial Statements to our consolidated financial statements and the section
entitled Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements in Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Form
10-Q/A.
This Form 10-Q/A only amends and restates Items 1, 2, and 4 of Part I of the Original Filing,
in each case, solely as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement, and no other information in
the Original Filing is amended hereby. The foregoing items have not been updated to reflect other
events occurring after the Original Filing or to modify or update those disclosures affected by
subsequent events. In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 6 of Part II of the Original
Filing has been amended to contain currently-dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Section 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached to this
Form 10-Q/A as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1, and 32.2, respectively.
Except for the foregoing amended information, this Form 10-Q/A continues to describe
conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained
herein to reflect events that occurred at a later date. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q/A, all amounts presented from prior periods and prior period comparisons that have been
revised are labeled As Restated and reflect the balances and amounts on a restated basis.

ORION ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization
The Company includes Orion Energy Systems, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation, and all consolidated
subsidiaries. The Company is a developer, manufacturer and seller of lighting and energy
management systems and a seller and integrator of renewable energy technologies to commercial and
industrial businesses, predominantly in North America.
In August 2009, we created Orion Engineered Systems, a new operating division offering
additional alternative renewable energy systems. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the
new division exceeded the thresholds for segment reporting and, accordingly, the Company has
introduced the presentation of operating segments in this quarter. See Note J Segment Reporting
of these financial statements for further discussion of our reportable segments.
The corporate offices and manufacturing operations are located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin and an
operations facility is located in Plymouth, Wisconsin.
NOTE B RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company accounts for the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements
in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. In
accordance with the disclosure provisions of ASC 250, when financial statements are restated to
correct an error, an entity is required to disclose that its previously issued financial statements
have been restated along with a description of the nature of the error, the effect of the
correction on each financial statement line item and any per share amount affected for each prior
period presented, and the cumulative effect on retained earnings or other appropriate component of
equity or net assets in the statement of financial position, as of the beginning of the earliest
period presented.
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K, on June 14, 2011, the Companys
management, with concurrence from the Audit & Finance Committee of the Companys Board of
Directors, concluded that the financial statements contained in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended December 31, 2010 should no longer be relied upon and must be restated to properly
record revenue from its OTAs as sales-type lease contracts.
In accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases, the Companys prior method of accounting for OTA
transactions as operating leases deferred revenue recognition over the full term of the OTA
contracts, only recognizing revenue on a monthly basis as customer payments became due, while the
upfront sales, general and administrative expenses related to these OTA contracts were recognized
immediately. On June 9, 2011, the Company concluded that generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP,
required the Company to reclassify it, transactions under it, OTAs as sales-type leases instead of as
operating leases. Accounting for OTA contracts as sales-type leases under GAAP requires the Company to
record revenue at the net present value of the future payments at the time customer acceptance of
it, installed and operating energy management system is complete, rather than deferring revenue
recognition over the full term of the OTA contracts.
Throughout this Form 10-Q/A, all amounts presented from prior periods and prior period
comparisons that have been revised are labeled As Restated and reflect the balances and amounts
on a restated basis.

NOTE C SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orion Energy Systems,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
year ending March 31, 2011 or other interim periods.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required
by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 filed with the
SEC on June 14, 2010 as supplemented by the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 filed
with the SEC on July 22, 2011 (See, in particular, footnote B therein).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that reporting period. Areas that require the use
of significant management estimates include revenue recognition, inventory obsolescence, bad debt
reserves, accruals for warranty expenses, income taxes and certain equity transactions.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior periods financial statements to conform
to current period presentation.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Short-term investments available for sale
The amortized cost and fair value of marketable securities, with gross unrealized gains and
losses, as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2010 were as follows (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2010, the Companys financial assets described in the
table above were measured at fair value on a recurring basis employing quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets (level 1 inputs).
The Companys certificate of deposit is pledged as security for an equipment lease.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments, which include cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and deferred
revenue, approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these
instruments. Based upon interest rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar
terms, the carrying value of the Companys long-term debt is also approximately equal to its fair
value.
Accounts receivable
The majority of the Companys accounts receivable are due from companies in the commercial,
industrial and agricultural industries, as well as wholesalers. Credit is extended based on an
evaluation of a customers financial condition. Generally, collateral is not required for end
users; however, the payment of certain trade accounts receivable from wholesalers is secured by
irrevocable standby letters of credit. Accounts receivable are due within 30-60 days. Accounts
receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect from outstanding balances. The
Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to an
allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual
accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection
efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit to
accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and components, such as ballasts, metal sheet and coil
stock and molded parts; work in process inventories, such as frames and reflectors; and finished
goods, including completed fixtures or systems, wireless energy management systems and accessories,
such as lamps, meters and power supplies. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market
value with cost determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company reduces the
carrying value of its inventories for differences between the cost and estimated net realizable
value, taking into consideration usage in the preceding 12 months, expected demand, and other
information indicating obsolescence. The Company records as a charge to cost of product revenue the
amount required to reduce the carrying value of inventory to net realizable value. As of March 31,
2010 and December 31, 2010, the Company had inventory obsolescence reserves of $756,000 and
$798,000, respectively.
Costs associated with the procurement and warehousing of inventories, such as inbound freight
charges and purchasing and receiving costs, are also included in cost of product revenue.
Inventories were comprised of the following (in thousands):

The Company capitalized $21,000 and none, respectively, of the interest costs for construction
in progress for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Included in
construction in progress are costs related to Company-owned equipment leased to customers under
solar power purchase agreements, or PPAs, of $2.7 million and $2.1 million as of March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2010, respectively.
Patents and Licenses
Patents and licenses are amortized over their estimated useful life, ranging from 7 to 17
years, using the straight line method.
Long-term Finance Receivables
The Company records a long-term receivable for the non-current portion of its sales-type
capital lease OTA contracts. The receivable is recorded at the net present value of the future cash
flows from scheduled customer payments. The Company uses the implied cost of capital from each
individual contract as the discount rate. Long-term receivables from OTA contracts were $4.9
million as of December 31, 2010.
Other Long-Term Assets
Other long-term assets include $27,000 and $68,000 of deferred financing costs as of March 31,
2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Also included in other long-term assets are amounts due from a third party finance company to
which the Company has sold, without recourse, the future cash flows from OTAs entered into with
customers. Such receivables are recorded at the present value of the future cash flows discounted
at 7.5%. As of December 31, 2010, the following amounts were due from the third party finance
company in future periods (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition
The Company offers a financing program called the Orion Throughput Agreement, or OTA, for a
customers lease of the Companys energy management systems. The OTA is structured as a sales-type
lease upon successful installation of the system and customer acknowledgement that the system is
operating as specified, revenue is recognized at the Companys net investment in the lease which
typically is the net present value of the future cash flows.
The Company offers a financing program, called a PPA, for the Companys renewable energy
product offerings. A PPA is a supply side agreement for the generation of electricity and
subsequent sale to the end user. Upon the customers acknowledgement that the system is operating
as specified, product revenue is recognized on a monthly basis over the life of the PPA contract,
typically in excess of 10 years.
Other than for OTA and PPA sales, revenue is recognized when the following four criteria are
met:
|
|
|
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
|
|
|
|
delivery has occurred and title has passed to the customer; |
|
|
|
|
the sales price is fixed and determinable and no further obligation exists; and |
|
|
|
|
collectability is reasonably assured |
These four criteria are met for the Companys product-only revenue upon delivery of the
product and title passing to the customer. At that time, the Company provides for estimated costs
that may be incurred for product warranties and sales returns. Revenues are presented net of sales
tax and other sales related taxes.
As discussed in Recent Accounting Pronouncements, the Company elected to adopt the revised
guidance of ASC 605-25 related to multiple-element arrangements during the quarter ended December
31, 2010. This guidance was retrospectively applied to the beginning of the Companys fiscal year.
For sales contracts consisting of multiple elements of revenue, such as a combination of
product sales and services, the Company determines revenue by allocating the total contract revenue
to each element based on their relative selling prices. In such circumstances, the Company uses a
hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables: (1)
vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value, if available, (2) third-party evidence
(TPE) of selling price if VSOE is not available, and (3) best estimate of the selling price if
neither VSOE nor TPE is available (a description as to how the Company determined VSOE, TPE and
estimated selling price is provided below).
To determine the selling price in multiple-element arrangements, the Company established VSOE
of selling price for its HIF lighting and energy management system products using the price charged
for a deliverable when sold separately. In addition, the Company determines the selling price for
its installation and recycling services through establishing TPE by obtaining independent quotes
from installation contractors and evaluating similar services in standalone arrangements with
similarly situated customers. Service revenue is recognized when services are complete and customer
acceptance has been received. Recycling services provided in connection with installation entail
the disposal of the customers legacy lighting fixtures. The Companys service revenues other than
for installation and recycling that are completed prior to delivery of the product are included in
product revenue using managements best estimate of selling price, as VSOE or TPE evidence does not
exist. These services include comprehensive site assessment, site field verification, utility
incentive and government subsidy management, engineering design, and project management. For these
services, managements best estimate of selling price is determined by considering several external
and internal factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices, margin objectives,
competition, geographies in which the Company offers its products and services and internal costs.
The determination of estimated selling price is made through consultation with and approval by
management, taking into account all of the preceding factors.
12
To determine the selling price for solar renewable product and services sold through the
Companys Engineered Systems group, the Company uses managements best estimate of selling price
giving consideration to external and internal factors including, but not limited to, pricing
practices, margin objectives, competition, scope and size of individual projects, geographies in
which the Company offers its products and services and internal costs. The Company has completed a
limited number of renewable project sales and accordingly, does not have sufficient VSOE or TPE
evidence.
The nature of the Companys multiple element arrangements are similar to a construction
project with materials being delivered and contracting and project management activities occurring
according to an installation schedule. The significant deliverables include the shipment of
products and related transfer of title and the installation. The Companys manufactured
technologies are typically delivered within two weeks of receipt of a customers purchase order.
The timing of delivery on renewable projects through the Companys Engineered Systems division is
dependent upon a contractual schedule agreed upon with the customer and executed in advance of the
project start date. Installation for lighting and energy management projects is typically completed
within four to six weeks, but can be longer dependent upon the size of the project, the complexity
of the interior facility layout and the availability of the customers schedule to complete the
project. Installation for renewable projects completed through the Companys Engineered Systems
division can often take three to six months to complete and can be longer dependent upon weather
issues during installation.
Costs of products delivered, and services performed, that are subject to additional
performance obligations or customer acceptance are deferred and recorded in prepaid expenses and
other current assets on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These deferred costs
are expensed at the time the related revenue is recognized. Deferred costs amounted to $1.6
million and $2.0 million as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Deferred revenue relates to advance customer billings, investment tax grants received related
to PPAs and a separate obligation to provide maintenance on OTAs and is classified as a liability
on the Balance Sheet. The fair value of the maintenance is readily determinable based upon pricing
from third-party vendors. Deferred revenue related to maintenance services is recognized when the
services are delivered, which occurs in excess of a year after the original OTA contract is
executed.
Deferred revenue was comprised of the following (in thousands):

Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of
temporary differences between financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities,
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when the temporary
differences reverse. Deferred income taxes also arise from the future tax benefits of operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established when management determines
that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
ASC 740, Income Taxes, also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken
in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not
to be sustained upon examination. The Company has classified the amounts recorded for uncertain
tax benefits in the balance sheet as other liabilities (non-current) to the extent that payment is
not anticipated within one year. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to
uncertain tax liabilities in income tax expense. Accrued penalties and interest were immaterial as
of the date of adoption and are included in the unrecognized tax benefits.
Deferred tax benefits have not been recognized for income tax effects resulting from the
exercise of non-qualified stock options. These benefits will be recognized in the period in which
the benefits are realized as a reduction in taxes payable and an increase in additional paid-in
capital. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, realized tax benefits from the
exercise of stock options were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss)
per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of
diluted common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted shares outstanding are calculated by
adding to the weighted average shares any outstanding stock options and warrants based upon the
treasury stock method. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for
periods with a net loss because the effects of potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.
The Company had the following anti-dilutive securities outstanding which were excluded from
the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended:

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
The Companys cash is deposited with three financial institutions. At times, deposits in these
institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk
on these balances.
The Company currently depends on one supplier for a number of components necessary for its
products, including ballasts and lamps. If the supply of these components were to be disrupted or
terminated, or if this supplier were unable to supply the quantities of components required, the
Company may have short-term difficulty in locating alternative suppliers at required volumes.
Purchases from this supplier accounted for 43% and 16% of total cost of revenue for the three
months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and 26% and 25% of total cost of revenue for
the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, no customers accounted for more than
10% of revenue. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, one customer accounted for
19% and 9% of revenue, respectively.
14
As of March 31, 2010, one customer accounted for 16% of the accounts receivable balance. As of
December 31, 2010, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20, Disclosures about the
Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (ASU 2010-20). ASU
2010-20 requires further disaggregated disclosures that improve financial statement users
understanding of (1) the nature of an entitys credit risk associated with its financing
receivables and (2) the entitys assessment of that risk in estimating its allowance for credit
losses as well as changes in the allowance and the reasons for those changes. The new and amended
disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting
periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-20 did not have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Effective April 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements, which amends ASC Subtopic 650-25 Revenue RecognitionMultiple-Element Arrangements
to eliminate the requirement that all undelivered elements have vendor-specific objective evidence
(VSOE) or third-party evidence (TPE) before an entity can recognize the portion of an overall
arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the absence of
VSOE or TPE of the standalone selling price for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a
multiple-element arrangement, entities will be required to estimate the selling prices of those
elements. The overall arrangement fee will be allocated to each element (both delivered and
undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, regardless of whether those selling
prices are evidenced by VSOE or TPE or are based on the entitys estimated selling price.
Additionally, the new guidance will require entities to disclose more information about their
multiple-element revenue arrangements. The adoption of this ASU did not result in a material change
in either the units of accounting or a change in the pattern or timing of revenue recognition.
Additionally, the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
NOTE D RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, the Company recorded revenue of
$27,000 and $18,000 for products and services sold to an entity for which a director of the Company
was formerly the executive chairman. The Company also entered into an OTA finance contract with
such entity in September 2010 with future expected gross contracted revenue to the Company of $2.9
million. During the same nine month periods, the Company purchased goods and services from the same
entity in the amounts of $30,000 and none. The terms and conditions of such relationship are
believed to be not materially more favorable to the Company or the entity than could be obtained
from an independent third party.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, the Company recorded revenue of
$705,000 and $183,000 for products and services sold to various entities affiliated or associated
with an entity for which a director of the Company previously served as a member of the board of
directors. The Company is not able to identify the respective amount of revenues attributable to
specifically identifiable entities within such group of affiliated or associated entities or the
extent to which any such individual entities are related to the entity on whose board of directors
the Companys executive officer serves. The terms and conditions of such relationship are believed
to be not materially more favorable to the Company or the entity than could be obtained from an
independent third party.

New Debt Arrangements
In September 2010, the Company entered into a note agreement with a financial institution that
provided the Company with $2.4 million to fund completed customer contracts under the Companys OTA
finance program. This note is included in the table above as customer equipment finance note
payable. The note is collateralized by the OTA-related equipment and the expected future monthly
payments under the supporting 57 individual OTA customer contracts. The note bears interest at 7%
and matures in September 2015. The note agreement includes certain prepayment penalties and a
covenant that the Company maintain at least $5 million in cash liquidity. The Company was in
compliance with all covenants in the note agreement as of December 31, 2010.
In September 2010, the Company entered into a note agreement with the Wisconsin Department of
Commerce that provided the Company with $0.3 million to fund the Companys rooftop solar project at
its Manitowoc manufacturing facility. This note is included in the table above as other long-term
debt. The note is collateralized by the related solar equipment. The note allows for two years
without interest accruing or principal payments due. Beginning in June 2012, the note bears
interest at 2%. The note matures in June 2017. The note agreement requires the Company to maintain
a certain number of jobs at its Manitowoc facilities during the notes duration. The Company was in
compliance with all covenants in the note agreement as of December 31, 2010.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On June 30, 2010, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (Credit Agreement) with JP
Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JP Morgan). The Credit Agreement replaced the Companys former credit
agreement with a different bank.
The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (Credit Facility) that matures
on June 30, 2012. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are limited to (i) $15.0 million or (ii)
during periods in which the outstanding principal balance of outstanding loans under the Credit
Facility is greater than $5.0 million, the lesser of (A) $15.0 million or (B) the sum of 75% of the
outstanding principal balance of certain accounts receivable of the Company and 45% of certain
inventory of the Company. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including
minimum unencumbered liquidity requirements and requirements that the Company maintain a total
liabilities to tangible net worth ratio not to exceed 0.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal
quarter. The Credit Agreement also contains certain restrictions on the ability of the Company to
make capital or lease expenditures over prescribed limits, incur additional indebtedness,
consolidate or merge, guarantee obligations of third parties, make loans or advances, declare or
pay any dividend or distribution on its stock, redeem or repurchase shares of its stock or pledge
assets. The Company also may cause JP Morgan to issue letters of credit for the Companys account
in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2.0 million, with the dollar amount of each issued
letter of credit counting against the overall limit on borrowings under the Credit Facility. As of
December 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $1.7 million, primarily
for securing collateral requirements under equipment operating leases. The Company incurred $61,000
of deferred financing costs related to the Credit Agreement which will be amortized over the
two-year term of the Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings by the Company under the Credit
Agreement as of December 31, 2010. The Company was in compliance with all of its covenants under
the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2010.
The Credit Agreement is secured by a first lien security interest in the Companys accounts
receivable, inventory and general intangibles, and a second lien priority in the Companys
equipment and fixtures. All OTAs, PPAs, leases, supply agreements and/or similar agreements
relating to solar photovoltaic and wind turbine systems or facilities, as well as all accounts
receivable and assets of the Company related to the foregoing, are excluded from these liens.
The Company must pay a fee of 0.25% on the average daily unused amount of the Credit Facility
and a fee of 2.00% on the daily average face amount of undrawn issued letters of credit. The fee on
unused amounts is waived if the Company or its affiliates maintain funds on deposit with JP Morgan
or its affiliates above a specified amount. The deposit threshold requirement was not met as of
December 31, 2010.
NOTE F INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 was determined by
applying an estimated annual effective tax rate of 360.0% to income before taxes. The estimated
effective income tax rate was determined by applying statutory tax rates to pretax income adjusted
for certain permanent book to tax differences and tax credits.

Included in the effective rate impact for stock compensation was the conversion of incentive
stock options to non-qualified stock options. The conversion was applied retrospectively, allowing
the Company to benefit $0.6 million of income tax expense that was previously deferred for income
tax purposes. The conversion reduced the effective tax rate for the 9 months ended December 31,
2010 to a benefit rate of 360.0% from a pre-conversion income tax expense rate of 13.3%.
The Company is eligible for tax benefits associated with the excess of the tax deduction
available for exercises of non-qualified stock options over the fair value determined at the grant
date. The amount of the benefit is based on the ultimate deduction reflected in the applicable
income tax return. Benefits of $0.1 million were recorded in fiscal 2010 as a reduction in taxes
payable and a credit to additional paid in capital based on the amount that was utilized during the
year. Benefits of $0.1 million and $0.2 million were recorded for the nine-month periods ended
December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.
The Company has issued incentive stock options for which stock compensation
expense is not deductible currently for tax purposes. The non-deductible expense is considered
permanent in nature. A disqualifying disposition occurs when a shareholder sells shares from an
option exercise within 12 months of the exercise date or within 24 months of the option grant date.
In the event of a disqualifying disposition, the option and related stock compensation expense take
on the characteristics of a non-qualified stock option grant, and is deductible for income tax
purposes. This deduction is a permanent tax rate differential. The Company could incur significant
changes in its effective tax rate in future periods based upon incentive stock option compensation
expense and disqualifying disposition events. Since July 30, 2008, all stock option grants have
been issued as non-qualified stock options.
Uncertain tax positions
As of December 31, 2010, the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits was approximately
$399,000, all of which would reduce the Companys effective tax rate if recognized. The Company
does not expect this amount to change in the next 12 months as none of the issues are currently
under examination, the statutes of limitations do not expire within the period, and the Company is
not aware of any pending litigation. Due to the existence of net operating loss and credit
carryforwards, all years since 2002 are open to examination by tax authorities.
The Company has classified the amounts recorded for uncertain tax benefits in the balance
sheet as other liabilities (non-current) to the extent that payment is not anticipated within one
year. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax liabilities in income
tax expense. Penalties and interest are immaterial and are included in the unrecognized tax
benefits. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, the Company had the following
unrecognized tax benefit activity (in thousands):

NOTE G COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases and Purchase Commitments
The Company leases vehicles and equipment under operating leases. Rent expense under operating
leases was $385,000 and $483,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010; and $1.0
million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010. In addition, the
Company enters into non-cancellable purchase commitments for certain inventory items in order to
secure better pricing and ensure materials on hand, as well as for capital expenditures. As of
December 31, 2010, the Company had entered into $22.7 million of purchase commitments, including
$0.1 million related to the remaining capital committed for information technology improvements and
other manufacturing equipment, $9.2 million for commitments under operating leases and $13.4
million for inventory purchases.
Litigation
In February and March 2008, three class action lawsuits were filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, several of its officers,
all members of its then existing board of directors, and certain underwriters relating to the
Companys December 2007 initial public offering (IPO). The plaintiffs claimed to represent those
persons who purchased shares of the Companys common stock from December 18, 2007 through February
6, 2008. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that the defendants made misstatements and
failed to disclose material information in the Companys IPO registration statement and prospectus.
The complaints alleged various claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The complaints
sought, among other relief, class certification, unspecified damages, fees, and such other relief
as the court may deem just and proper.
On August 1, 2008, the court-appointed lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 15, 2008,
the Company and the other director and officer defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
consolidated complaint, and the underwriters filed a separate motion to dismiss the consolidated
complaint on January 16, 2009. After oral argument on August 19, 2009, the court granted in part
and denied in part the motions to dismiss. The plaintiff filed a second consolidated amended
complaint on September 4, 2009, and the defendants filed an answer to the complaint on October 9,
2009.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company reached a preliminary agreement to settle
the class action lawsuits and on January 3, 2011, the court issued an order granting preliminary
approval of the settlement. The court has scheduled a fairness hearing for April 14, 2011.
Substantially all of the proposed preliminary settlement amount will be covered by the Companys
insurance. However, for the Companys share of the proposed preliminary settlement not covered by
insurance, the Company recorded an after-tax charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 of
approximately $0.02 per share. The Company deposited its uninsured share of the settlement amount
in escrow on February 1, 2011.
If the preliminary settlement is not finally approved or the other conditions are not met, the
Company will continue to defend against the lawsuits and believes that it and the other defendants
have substantial legal and factual defenses to the claims and allegations contained in the
consolidated complaint. In such a case, the Company would intend to pursue these defenses
vigorously. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company would be successful, and an
adverse resolution of the lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial
condition, results of operations and cash flow. In addition, although the Company carries insurance
for these types of claims, a judgment significantly in excess of the Companys insurance coverage
or any costs, claims or judgment which are disputed or not covered by insurance could materially
and adversely affect the Companys financial
condition, results of operations and cash flow. If the preliminary settlement is not finally
approved or the other conditions are not met, the Company is not presently able to reasonably
estimate potential costs and/or losses, if any, related to the lawsuit.

NOTE H SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In August 2010, the Companys board of directors approved a non-compensatory employee stock
purchase plan, or ESPP. The ESPP authorizes 2,500,000 million shares to be issued from treasury or
authorized shares to satisfy employee share purchases under the ESPP. All full-time employees of
the Company are eligible to be granted a non-transferable purchase right each calendar quarter to
purchase directly from the Company up to $20,000 of the Companys common stock at a purchase price
equal to 100% of the closing sale price of the Companys common stock on the NYSE Amex exchange on
the last trading day of each quarter. The ESPP allows for employee loans from the Company, except
for Section 16 officers, limited to 20% of an individuals annual income and no more than $250,000
outstanding at any one time. Interest on the loans is charged at the 10-year loan IRS rate and is
payable at the end of each calendar year or upon loan maturity. The loans are secured by a pledge
of any and all the Companys shares purchased by the participant under the ESPP and the Company has
full recourse against the employee, including offset against compensation payable. The Company had
the following shares issued from treasury for the first nine months of fiscal 2011:

NOTE I STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
The Company grants stock options under its 2003 Stock Option and 2004 Stock and Incentive
Awards Plans (the Plans). Under the terms of the Plans, the Company has reserved 12,000,000 shares
for issuance to key employees, consultants and directors. The Companys board of directors approved
an increase to the number of shares available under the 2004 Stock and Incentive Awards Plan of
1,500,000 shares, and such share increase was approved by the Companys shareholders at the 2010
annual shareholders meeting and such shares are included above. The options generally vest and
become exercisable ratably between one month and five years although longer vesting periods have
been used in certain circumstances. Exercisability of the options granted to employees are
contingent on the employees continued employment and non-vested options are subject to forfeiture
if employment terminates for any reason. Options under the Plans have a maximum life of 10 years.
In the past, the Company has granted both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options,
although in July 2008, the Company adopted a policy of thereafter only granting non-qualified stock
options. Restricted stock awards have no vesting period and have been issued to certain
non-employee directors in lieu of cash compensation pursuant to elections made under the Companys
non-employee director compensation program. The Plans also provide to certain employees accelerated
vesting in the event of certain changes of control of the Company as well as under other special
circumstances.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, the Company granted none and 11,976
shares from the 2004 Stock and Incentive Awards Plan to certain non-employee directors who elected
to receive stock awards in lieu of cash compensation. The shares were valued ranging from $2.86 to
$3.46 per share, the market prices as of the grant dates.

ITEM 2. |

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated
financial statements and related notes, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.
The information below has been adjusted to reflect the impact of the restatement of our financial
results which is more fully described in Note B Restatement to the unaudited consolidated
financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A and under the paragraph
Restatement of Prior Period Financial Statements below and does not reflect any subsequent
information or events occurring after the Original Filing or to modify or update those disclosures
affected by subsequent events.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Any statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q about our expectations, beliefs, plans,
objectives, prospects, financial condition, assumptions or future events or performance are not
historical facts and are forward-looking statements as that term is defined under the federal
securities laws. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or
phrases such as believe, anticipate, should, intend, plan, will, expects,
estimates, projects, positioned, strategy, outlook and similar words. You should read the
statements that contain these types of words carefully. Such forward-looking statements are subject
to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from what is expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. There may be
events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or over which we have no control.
Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item
1A. Risk Factors in our 2010 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010
and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We urge you not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as the date of this report. We do not undertake any
obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events
or uncertainties after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Restatement of Prior Period Financial Statements
As discussed in the explanatory note to this Form 10-Q/A, we have restated our previously
issued unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the quarter ended
December 31, 2010 to account for our transactions under our Orion Throughput Agreements, or OTAs as sales-type leases instead of as operating leases.
Our prior method of accounting for OTA transactions as operating leases deferred revenue
recognition over the full term of the OTA contracts, only recognizing revenue on a monthly basis as
customer payments are due, while the upfront sales, general and administrative expenses related to
these OTA contracts were recognized immediately.
We are filing this Amendment No. 1, or First Amendment, to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, or Form 10-Q, filed on February 9, 2011, to restate our
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Background of the Restatement
As discussed above in the Explanatory Note in this Form 10-Q/A, the financial statements
contained in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2010 should no longer be
relied upon and must be restated to account for our transactions under our OTAs as sales-type leases instead of as operating leases.
Our prior method of accounting for OTA transactions as operating leases deferred revenue
recognition over the full term of the OTA contracts, only recognizing revenue on a monthly basis as
customer payments are due, while the upfront sales, general and administrative expenses related to
these OTA contracts were recognized immediately.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2010,
initially filed with the SEC on February 9, 2011 (Original Filing), is being filed to reflect the
financial statement restatement. Generally, for the quarterly and year-to-date periods ended
December 31, 2010, this change in accounting treatment and financial statement restatements has
resulted in:
No impact to our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments; or overall cash flow;
Increases in our revenue of $0.4 million (1%), an increase in our net income of $0.1 million
(17%) and no change in our income per share of $0.03 (0%) for the quarter ended December 31, 2010,
and an increase in our revenue of $4.8 million (8%), a decrease in
our net loss of $1.3 million (233%) and a reduction in our loss per share of $0.06 (300%) for
the nine months ended December 31, 2010; and
22
Increases
in our current assets of $4.8 million (7%), our total assets of
$1.3 million (1%), and a decrease in our total
liabilities of $0.8 million (3%) and a reduction in our retained deficit of $2.0 million (59%).
The specific line-item effect of the restatement on our previously issued unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010
as filed on Form 10-Q on February 9, 2011 are as follows (in thousands, except share and per share

Overview
We design, manufacture and implement energy management systems consisting primarily of
high-performance, energy-efficient lighting systems, controls and related services.
We currently generate the substantial majority of our revenue from sales of high intensity
fluorescent, or HIF, lighting systems and related services to commercial and industrial customers.
We typically sell our HIF lighting systems in replacement of our customers existing high intensity
discharge, or HID, fixtures. We call this replacement process a retrofit. We frequently engage
our customers existing electrical contractor to provide installation and project management
services. We also sell our HIF lighting systems on a wholesale basis, principally to electrical
contractors and value-added resellers that sell to their own customer bases.
We have sold and installed more than 1,972,000 of our HIF lighting systems in over 6,500
facilities from December 1, 2001 through December 31, 2010. We have sold our products to 130
Fortune 500 companies, many of which have installed our HIF lighting systems in multiple
facilities. Our top direct customers by revenue in fiscal 2010 included Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc.,
U.S. Foodservice, SYSCO Corp., Ball Corporation, MillerCoors and Pepsico, Inc. and its affiliates.
Our fiscal year ends on March 31. We call our prior fiscal year which ended on March 31, 2010,
fiscal 2010. We call our current fiscal year, which will end on March 31, 2011, fiscal 2011.
Our fiscal 2011 first quarter ended on June 30, our fiscal 2011 second quarter ended on September
30, our fiscal 2011 third quarter ended on December 31 and our fiscal 2011 fourth quarter will end
on March 31.
Because of the recessed state of the global economy, especially as it relates to capital
equipment manufacturers, our fiscal 2011 first half results continued to be impacted by lengthened
customer sales cycles and sluggish customer capital spending. During the fiscal 2011 third quarter,
capital equipment purchases were slightly improved and we continue to remain optimistic regarding
customer behaviors heading into calendar year 2011. To address the economic conditions, we
implemented $3.2 million of annualized cost reductions during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
These cost containment initiatives included reductions related to headcount, work hours and
discretionary spending and began to show results in the second half of fiscal 2010 and the first
half of fiscal 2011. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we identified an additional $2
million of annualized cost reductions related to decreased product costs, improved manufacturing
efficiencies and reduced operating expenses. We began to realize some of these cost reductions
during the fiscal 2011 third quarter through reduction in general and administrative expenses and
improved product margins for our HIF lighting systems.
24
Despite the recent economic challenges, we remain optimistic about our near-term and long-term
financial performance. Our near-term optimism is based upon our record level of revenue and operating income for the third quarter
of fiscal 2011, our increased backlog of cash orders at the end of our fiscal 2011 third quarter
versus our backlog at the end of our fiscal 2010 third quarter, the increase in the number of our
value-added resellers and their sales staffs and our cost reduction plans for the remainder of
fiscal 2011. Our long-term optimism is based upon the considerable size of the existing market
opportunity for lighting retrofits, the continued development of our new products and product
enhancements, the opportunity for additional revenue from sales of renewable technologies through
our Orion Engineered Systems division, the opportunity for our participation in the replacement
part aftermarket and the increasing national recognition of the importance of environmental
stewardship, including legislation within the State of Wisconsin passed earlier this fiscal year
that recognized our solar Apollo Light Pipe as a renewable product offering and qualified it for
incentives currently offered to other renewable technologies.
In August 2009, we created Orion Engineered Systems, a new operating division which has been
offering our customers additional alternative renewable energy systems. In fiscal 2010, we sold and
installed three solar photovoltaic, or PV, electricity generating projects, completing our test
analysis on two of the three in the fiscal 2010 third quarter, and executed our first cash sale and
our first Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA, as a result of the successful testing of these systems.
We completed the installation and customer acceptance of the third system, a cash sale, during our
fiscal 2011 first quarter. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we received an $8.2 million
cash order for a solar PV generating system for which we recognized $6.0 million of revenue in the
third quarter. Additionally, Orion Engineered Systems is responsible for our project management
activities and related service revenues for both HIF lighting and renewable technology projects.
During our fiscal 2011 third quarter, revenue from our Orion Engineered Systems group exceeded
the quantitative threshold for GAAP segment accounting. We have now introduced segment reporting
for our Energy Management and Engineered Systems groups. Our Energy Management division develops,
manufactures and sells commercial high intensity fluorescent, or HIF, lighting systems and energy
management systems. Our Engineered Systems division sells and integrates alternative renewable
energy systems and provides technical services for the Companys sale of HIF lighting systems and
energy management systems.
In response to the constraints on our customers capital spending budgets, we have more
aggressively promoted the advantages to our customers of leasing our energy management systems
through our Orion Throughput Agreement, or OTA, financing program, as well as our solar PPA, as an
alternative to purchasing our systems for cash. Our OTA financing program provides for our
customers leasing of our energy management systems without an up-front capital outlay. The OTA is
structured as a sales-type capital lease and upon successful installation of the system and
customer acknowledgement that the product is operating as specified, revenue is recognized at our
net investment in the lease which typically is the net present value of the future cash flows. The
PPA is a supply side agreement for the generation of electricity and subsequent sale to the end
user. We expect that the number of customers who choose to purchase our systems by using our OTA
financing program will continue to increase in future periods.
Revenue and Expense Components
Revenue. We sell our energy management products and services directly to commercial and
industrial customers, and indirectly to end users through wholesale sales to electrical contractors
and value-added resellers. We currently generate the substantial majority of our revenue from
sales of HIF lighting systems and related services to commercial and industrial customers. While
our services include comprehensive site assessment, site field verification, utility incentive and
government subsidy management, engineering design, project management, installation and recycling
in connection with our retrofit installations, we separately recognize service revenue only for our
installation and recycling services. Our service revenues are recognized when services are
complete and customer acceptance has been received. In fiscal 2010 and continuing into fiscal
2011, we increased our efforts to expand our value-added reseller channels, including through
developing a partner standard operating procedural kit, providing our partners with product
marketing materials and providing training to channel partners on our sales methodologies. These
wholesale channels accounted for approximately 43% of our total revenue volume in fiscal 2010 which
was an increase from the 40% of total revenue contributed in fiscal 2009. This growth trend in our
wholesale mix of total revenue continued to increase during the first nine months of fiscal 2011,
with our wholesale mix of total revenue, not taking into consideration our renewable technologies
revenue generated through our Orion Engineered Systems division, equaling 51% compared to 43% for
the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
25
We offer our OTA sales-type financing program under which we finance the customers purchase
of our energy management systems. The OTA program was established to assist customers who are
interested in purchasing our energy management systems but who have capital expenditure budget
limitations. Our OTA contracts are sales-type capital leases under GAAP and we record revenue at
the net present value of the future payments at the time customer acceptance of the installed and
operating system is complete. Our OTA contracts under this sales-type capital lease financing are
one year in duration and, at the completion of the initial one-year term, provide for (i) one to
four automatic one-year renewals at agreed upon pricing; (ii) an early buyout for cash; or (iii)
the return of the
equipment at the customers expense. The revenue that we are entitled to receive from the sale
of our lighting fixtures under our OTA financing program is fixed and is based on the cost of the
lighting fixtures and applicable profit margin. Our revenue from agreements entered into under this
program is not dependent upon our customers actual energy savings. Upon completion of the
installation, we may choose to sell the future cash flows and residual rights to the equipment on a
non-recourse basis to an unrelated third party finance company in exchange for cash and future
payments. We recognize revenue from OTA contracts at the net present value of the future cash flows
at the completion date of the installation of the energy management systems and the customers
acknowledgement that they system is operating as specified. For the first nine months of fiscal
2010, we recognized $4.2 million of revenue from completed OTAs. For the first nine months of
fiscal 2011, we recognized $6.3 million of revenue from completed OTAs. As of December 31, 2010, we
had signed 167 customers to OTAs representing future potential gross cash flow streams of $16.6
million. In the future, we expect an increase in the volume of OTAs as our customers take advantage
of our value proposition without incurring up-front capital cost.
Our PPA financing program provides for our customers purchase of electricity from our
renewable energy generating assets without an upfront capital outlay. Our PPA is a longer-term
contract, typically in excess of 10 years, in which we receive monthly payments over the life of
the contract. This program creates an ongoing recurring revenue stream, but reduces near-term
revenue as the payments are recognized as revenue on a monthly basis over the life of the contract
versus upfront upon product shipment or project completion. For the first nine months of fiscal
2010, we did not recognize any revenue from completed PPAs. For the first nine months of fiscal
2011, we recognized $0.3 million of revenue from completed PPAs. As of December 31, 2010, we had
signed one customer to two separate PPAs representing future potential discounted revenue streams
of $3.4 million. We discount the future revenue from PPAs due to the long-term nature of the
contracts, typically in excess of 10 years. The timing of expected future discounted GAAP revenue
recognition and the resulting operating cash inflows from PPAs, assuming the systems perform as
designed, was as follows as of December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Other than for OTA and PPA revenue, we recognize revenue on product only sales at the time of
shipment. For projects consisting of multiple elements of revenue, such as a combination of product
sales and services, we separate the project into separate units of accounting based on their
relative fair values for revenue recognition purposes. Additionally, the deferral of revenue on a
delivered element may be required if such revenue is contingent upon the delivery of the remaining
undelivered elements. We recognize revenue at the time of product shipment on product sales and on
services completed prior to product shipment. We recognize revenue associated with services
provided after product shipment, based on their selling price, when the services are completed and
customer acceptance has been received. When other significant obligations or acceptance terms
remain after products are delivered, revenue is recognized only after such obligations are
fulfilled or acceptance by the customer has occurred.
Our dependence on individual key customers can vary from period to period as a result of the
significant size of some of our retrofit and multi-facility roll-out projects. Our top 10 customers
accounted for approximately 35% and 27% of our total revenue for the first nine months of fiscal
2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively. No customer accounted for 10% of our total revenue for our
first nine months of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010. To the extent that large retrofit and roll-out
projects become a greater component of our total revenue, we may experience more customer
concentration in given periods. The loss of, or substantial reduction in sales volume to, any of
our significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our total revenue in any given
period and may result in significant annual and quarterly revenue variations.
Our level of total revenue for any given period is dependent upon a number of factors,
including (i) the demand for our products and systems, including our OTA and PPA programs and any
new products, applications and service that we may introduce through our Orion Engineered Systems
division; (ii) the number and timing of large retrofit and multi-facility retrofit, or roll-out,
projects; (iii) the level of our wholesale sales; (iv) our ability to realize revenue from our
services; (vi) market conditions; (vii) our execution of our sales process; (viii) our ability to
compete in a highly competitive market and our ability to respond successfully to market
competition; (ix) the selling price of our products and services; (x) changes in capital investment
levels by our customers and prospects; and (xi) customer sales cycles. As a result, our total
revenue may be subject to quarterly variations and our total revenue for any particular fiscal
quarter may not be indicative of future results.
26
Contracted Revenue. Although Contracted Revenue is not a term recognized under GAAP, since
the volume of our OTA and PPA business is expected to continue to increase and because our OTA
revenues are not recognized until project completion occurs and due to the long-term operating
lease treatment of our PPA projects, we believe Contracted Revenue provides our management and
investors with an informative measure of our relative order activity for any particular period. We
define Contracted Revenue as the total contractual value of all firm purchase orders received for
our products and services and the expected future potential cash flow streams, including all
renewal periods, for all OTAs upon the execution of the contract and the discounted value of future
potential revenue from energy generation over the life of all PPAs along with the discounted value
of revenue for renewable energy credits, or RECs, for as long as the REC programs are currently
defined to be in existence with the governing body. For cash Contracted Revenue, we generally
expect that we will begin to recognize GAAP revenue within 30 days from receipt of purchase order.
For OTA Contracted Revenue, we generally expect that we will begin to recognize GAAP revenue upon
project completion and customer acceptance within 90-120 days from the firm contract date. For PPA
Contracted Revenue, we generally expect that we will begin to recognize GAAP revenue under the
terms of the PPAs within 180 days from the firm contract date. We believe that total Contracted
Revenues are a key financial metric for evaluating and measuring our performance because the
measure is an indicator of our success in our customers adoption and acceptance of our energy
products and services as it measures firm contracted revenue value, regardless of the contracts
cash or deferred financial structure and the related different GAAP revenue recognition treatment.
For our first nine months of fiscal 2010, total Contracted Revenue was $57.2 million, which
included $6.4 million of future expected potential gross cash flow streams associated with OTAs and
$1.7 million of potential discounted revenue streams from PPAs. For our fiscal first nine months of
fiscal 2011, total Contracted Revenue was $74.8 million, an increase of 31% compared to the same
period in fiscal 2010, which included of $10.9 million of expected future potential gross cash flow
streams associated with OTAs and $1.9 million of potential discounted revenue streams from PPAs. A
reconciliation of our Contracted Revenue to our GAAP revenue for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2010 is as follows:

Change in backlog reflects the (increase) or decrease in cash orders at the end of the
respective period where product delivery or service performance has not yet occurred. GAAP
revenue will be recognized when the performance conditions have been satisfied, typically
within 90 days from the end of the period. |
|
(2) |
|
Contracted Revenue from OTAs and PPAs are subtracted to reconcile the GAAP revenue as
recognition of GAAP revenue will occur in future periods upon completion of the installation
for OTAs or monthly revenue recognition for PPAs. |
Backlog. We define backlog as the total contractual value of all firm orders received for our
lighting products and services where delivery of product or completion of services has not yet
occurred as of the end of any particular reporting period. Such orders must be evidenced by a
signed proposal acceptance or purchase order from the customer. Our backlog does not include OTAs
that are in process, PPAs or national contracts that have been negotiated, but under which we have
not yet received a purchase order for the specific location. As of December 31, 2010, we had a
backlog of firm purchase orders of approximately $8.6 million, which included $3.9 million of solar
PV orders, compared to a backlog of firm purchase orders of approximately $5.1 million as of
December 31, 2009. We generally expect this level of firm purchase order backlog related to HIF
lighting systems to be converted into revenue within the following quarter and our firm purchase
order backlog related to solar PV systems to be recognized within the following two quarters.
Principally as a result of the continued lengthening of our customers purchasing decisions because
of current recessed economic conditions and related factors, the continued shortening of our
installation cycles and the number of projects sold through national and OTA contracts, a
comparison of backlog from period to period is not necessarily meaningful and may not be indicative
of actual revenue recognized in future periods.
27
Cost of Revenue. Our total cost of revenue consists of costs for: (i) raw materials, including
sheet, coiled and specialty reflective aluminum; (ii) electrical components, including ballasts,
power supplies and lamps; (iii) wages and related personnel expenses, including stock-based
compensation charges, for our fabricating, coating, assembly, logistics and project installation
service organizations; (iv) manufacturing facilities, including depreciation on our manufacturing
facilities and equipment, taxes, insurance and utilities; (v) warranty expenses; (vi) installation
and integration; and (vii) shipping and handling. Our cost of aluminum can be subject to commodity
price fluctuations, which we attempt to mitigate with forward fixed-price, minimum quantity
purchase commitments with our suppliers. We also purchase many of our electrical components through
forward purchase contracts. We buy most of our specialty reflective aluminum from a single
supplier, and most of our ballast and lamp components from a single supplier, although we believe
we could obtain sufficient quantities of these raw materials and components on a price and quality
competitive basis from other suppliers if necessary. Purchases from our current primary supplier of
ballast and lamp components constituted 25% of our total cost of revenue for the first nine months
of fiscal 2011 and were 26% of total cost of revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Our
cost of revenue from OTA projects is recorded upon customer acceptance and acknowledgement that the
system is operating as specified. Our production labor force is non-union and, as a result, our
production labor costs have been relatively stable. We have been expanding our network of qualified
third-party installers to realize efficiencies in the installation process. During the first nine
months of fiscal 2010, we reduced headcounts and improved production product flow through
reengineering of our assembly stations.
Gross Margin. Our gross profit has been, and will continue to be, affected by the relative
levels of our total revenue and our total cost of revenue, and as a result, our gross profit may be
subject to quarterly variation. Our gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, or gross margin,
is affected by a number of factors, including: (i) our level of solar PV sales which generally have
substantially lower relative gross margins than our traditional energy management systems; (ii) our
mix of large retrofit and multi-facility roll-out projects with national accounts; (iii) the level
of our wholesale sales (which generally have historically resulted in lower relative gross margins,
but higher relative net margins, than our sales to direct customers); (iv) our realization rate on
our billable services; (v) our project pricing; (vi) our level of warranty claims; (vii) our level
of utilization of our manufacturing facilities and production equipment and related absorption of
our manufacturing overhead costs; (viii) our level of efficiencies in our manufacturing operations;
and (ix) our level of efficiencies from our subcontracted installation service providers.
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist of: (i) general and administrative
expenses; (ii) sales and marketing expenses; and (iii) research and development expenses.
Personnel related costs are our largest operating expense. While we have recently focused on
reducing our personnel costs and headcount in certain functional areas, we do nonetheless believe
that future opportunities within our business remain strong. As a result, we may choose to
selectively add to our sales staff based upon opportunities in regional markets.
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs for: (i) salaries and
related personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation charges related to our executive,
finance, human resource, information technology and operations organizations; (ii) public company
costs, including investor relations and audit; (iii) occupancy expenses; (iv) professional services
fees; (v) technology related costs and amortization; (vi) bad debt and asset impairment charges;
and (vii) corporate-related travel.
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs for: (i) salaries and related
personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation charges related to our sales and marketing
organization; (ii) internal and external sales commissions and bonuses; (iii) travel, lodging and
other out-of-pocket expenses associated with our selling efforts; (iv) marketing programs; (v)
pre-sales costs; and (vi) other related overhead.
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs for: (i) salaries and related
personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation charges, related to our engineering
organization; (ii) payments to consultants; (iii) the design and development of new energy
management products and enhancements to our existing energy management system; (iv) quality
assurance and testing; and (v) other related overhead. We expense research and development costs as
incurred.
In fiscal 2010, our operating expenses increased as a result of the completion of our new
technology center and the related building occupancy costs. During fiscal 2011, we have invested in
marketing efforts to our direct end customers and to our channel partners through increasing
advertising, marketing collateral materials and participating in national industry and customer
trade shows. We expense all pre-sale costs incurred in connection with our sales process prior to
obtaining a purchase order. These pre-sale costs may reduce our net income in a given period prior
to recognizing any corresponding revenue. We also intend to continue to invest in our research and
development of new and enhanced energy management products and services.
28
We recognize compensation expense for the fair value of our stock option awards granted over
their related vesting period. We recognized $0.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011
and $1.1 million of stock-based compensation expense in the same
period in fiscal 2010. As a result of prior option grants, we expect to recognize an
additional $4.3 million of stock-based compensation over a weighted average period of approximately
seven years, including $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. These charges have been,
and will continue to be, allocated to cost of product revenue, general and administrative expenses,
sales and marketing expenses and research and development expenses based on the departments in
which the personnel receiving such awards have primary responsibility. A substantial majority of
these charges have been, and likely will continue to be, allocated to general and administrative
expenses and sales and marketing expenses.
Interest Expense. Our interest expense is comprised primarily of interest expense on
outstanding borrowings under long-term debt obligations described under Liquidity and Capital
Resources Indebtedness below, including the amortization of previously incurred financing
costs. We amortize deferred financing costs to interest expense over the life of the related debt
instrument, ranging from two to fifteen years.
Dividend and Interest Income. We report interest income earned from our financed OTA
contracts and on our cash and cash equivalents and short term investments. For the first nine
months of fiscal 2011, our interest income declined compared to the first nine months of fiscal
2010 as a result of the decrease in our cash and cash equivalents and lower market rates of return
on our investments.
Income Taxes. As of March 31, 2010, we had federal tax credit carryforwards of approximately
$0.5 million and state credit carryforwards of approximately
$0.1 million, which is net of a valuation allowance of $0.4 million. Management believes it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits
of these federal assets and has reserved for an allowance due to our state apportioned income and
the potential expiration of the state tax credits due to the carryforwards period. These federal
and state credit carryforwards are available, subject to the discussion in the following paragraph,
to offset future taxable income and, if not utilized, will begin to expire in varying amounts
between 2014 and 2030.
Generally, a change of more than 50% in the ownership of a companys stock, by value, over a
three year period constitutes an ownership change for federal income tax purposes. An ownership
change may limit a companys ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards attributable to
the period prior to such change. In fiscal 2007 and prior to our IPO, past issuances and transfers
of stock caused an ownership change for certain tax purposes. When certain ownership changes occur,
tax laws require that a calculation be made to establish a limitation on the use of net operating
loss carryforwards created in periods prior to such ownership change. For fiscal year 2008,
utilization of our federal loss carryforwards was limited to $3.0 million. There was no limitation
that occurred for fiscal 2009 or fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2011, we do not anticipate a limitation
on the use of our net operating loss carryforwards.

Consolidated
Revenue. Product revenue increased $9.3 million, or 50%, from $18.7 million for the fiscal
2010 third quarter to $28.0 million for the fiscal 2011 third quarter. The increase was a result of
$8.0 million of revenue from sales of renewable solar PV systems through
our Orion Engineered Systems division and increased sales of our HIF lighting systems to both
our national account and wholesale customers. Product revenue increased $13.0 million, or 28%, from
$45.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to $58.9 million for the first nine months
of fiscal 2011. Service revenue decreased $0.1 million, or 5%, from $2.1 million for the fiscal
2010 third quarter to $2.0 million for the fiscal 2011 third quarter. Service revenue decreased
$0.9 million, or 18%, from $4.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to $4.0 million
for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The decrease in service revenue was a result of the
continued percentage increase of total revenue to our wholesale channels where services are not
provided.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin. Our cost of product revenue increased $7.3 million, or 61%,
from $11.9 million for the fiscal 2010 third quarter to $19.2 million for the fiscal 2011 third
quarter. Our cost of product revenue increased $8.6 million, or 28%, from $30.7 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 2010 to $39.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. Our
cost of service revenues increased $0.1 million, or 6%, from $1.6 million for the fiscal 2010 third
quarter to $1.7 million for the fiscal 2011 third quarter. Our cost of service revenue decreased
$0.4 million, or 11%, from $3.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to $3.1 million
for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. Total gross margin decreased from 35.5% for the fiscal
2010 third quarter to 30.5% for the fiscal 2011 third quarter and decreased from 32.7% for the
first nine months of fiscal 2010 to 32.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. For the fiscal
2011 third quarter, our gross margins declined due to a higher mix of renewable product revenue
from our Orion Engineered Systems division. Our gross margin percentage for the fiscal 2011 third
quarter on renewable product revenue from this division was 17.2%. Gross margin from our HIF
integrated systems revenue for the fiscal 2011 third quarter was 37.2%. For the first nine months
of fiscal 2011, our increase in gross margin on product revenues versus the first nine months of
fiscal 2010 was attributable to cost containment efforts through the reduction of direct and
indirect headcounts, improved production efficiencies resulting from the reengineering of our
assembly process, negotiated price decreases on raw materials and reductions in discretionary
spending.
General and Administrative Expense. Our general and administrative expenses decreased $0.4
million, or 13%, from $3.1 million for the fiscal 2010 third quarter to $2.7 million for the fiscal
2011 third quarter. The decrease was a result of $0.2 million for decreased litigation-related and
other legal expenses, $0.1 million in reduced compensation costs resulting from headcount
reductions and $0.1 million in discretionary spending reductions. General and administrative
expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 9%, from $9.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010
to $8.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The decrease was a result of $0.4 million
in reduced compensation costs resulting from headcount reductions and reduced severance payments, a
$0.3 million decrease in consulting and auditing services, a $0.2 million reduction in bad debt
expense and $0.2 million in discretionary spending reductions. These reductions were offset by
increased legal expenses of $0.3 million related to the settlement efforts of the class action
litigation and general corporate matters.
Sales and Marketing Expense. Our sales and marketing expenses increased $0.1 million, or 3%,
from $3.1 million for the fiscal 2010 third quarter to $3.2 million for the fiscal 2011 third
quarter. The increase was a result of increased costs for headcount additions and increased travel
for customer site visits. Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.9 million, or 10%, from $9.2
million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to $10.1 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 2011. The increase was a result of $0.2 million for advertising and marketing expenses and
$0.2 million in business development expenses related to our efforts to expand our partner
channels, $0.3 million in increased travel costs for customer site visits and $0.1 million for
additional technology costs, including depreciation, for improvements to our customer relationship
management system and computer investments to improve our sales presentation process. Total sales
and marketing headcount as of December 31, 2010 was 87 compared to 78 at December 31, 2009.
Research and Development Expense. Our research and development expenses increased $0.2
million, or 50%, from $0.4 million for the fiscal 2010 third quarter to $0.6 million for the fiscal
2011 third quarter. Research and development expenses increased $0.5 million, or 38%, from $1.3
million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to $1.8 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 2011. The increase was a result of headcount additions in our engineering and product
development group and materials for new product development and testing. Expenses incurred within
the fiscal 2011 third quarter related to compensation costs for the development and support of new
products, depreciation expenses for lab and research equipment and sample and testing costs related
to our new exterior lighting and our light emitting diode, or LED, product initiatives.
Interest Expense. Our interest expense increased $32,000, or 48%, from $66,000 for the fiscal
2010 third quarter to $98,000 for the fiscal 2011 third quarter. Our interest expense increased
$31,000, or 16%, from $192,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to $223,000 for the first
nine months of fiscal 2011. The increase in interest expense for the fiscal 2011 third quarter was
due to the additional debt funding completed during our fiscal 2010 second quarter for the purpose
of financing our OTA projects. For the first nine months of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011, we
capitalized $21,000 and $0 of interest for construction in progress, respectively.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $32,000, or 20%, from $157,000 for the fiscal 2010
third quarter to $189,000 for the fiscal 2011 third quarter. Interest income decreased $0.1
million, or 19%, from $0.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to
$0.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The increase in interest income for the
fiscal 2011 third quarter was due to additional interest income earned from completed OTA projects.
The decrease in investment income for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was a result of less
cash invested and a decrease in interest rates on our short-term investments.
30
Income Taxes. Our income tax expense increased from $0.2 million for the fiscal 2010 third
quarter to $1.9 million for the fiscal 2011 third quarter. Our income tax benefit decreased from a
benefit of $0.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to a benefit of $0.6 million for
the first nine months of fiscal 2011. Our effective income tax rate for the first nine months of
fiscal 2010 was a benefit rate of 22.4%, compared to a benefit rate of 360.0% for the first nine
months of fiscal 2011. The change in tax rate versus the prior year is due to a $0.6 million income
tax benefit related to the conversion of incentive stock options to non-qualified stock options and
the recognition of previously deferred income tax benefit. The impact of the conversion resulted in
an income tax benefit of 360% for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 versus a pre-conversion
income tax effective expense rate of 13.3%
Contracted Revenue. Total Contracted Revenue increased $5.3 million, or 25%, from $21.4
million (which included $1.7 million of future potential cash flow streams associated with OTAs and
$1.7 million of future potential revenue streams associated with PPAs) for the fiscal 2010 third
quarter to $26.7 million (which included $3.4 million of future potential cash flow streams
associated with OTAs) for the fiscal 2011 third quarter. The increase in Contracted Revenue was due
to increased order activity for our integrated lighting systems, increased orders for renewable
technologies through our Orion Engineered Systems division and an increase in new customer OTA
contracts completed. Total Contracted Revenue increased $17.6 million, or 31%, from $57.2 million
(which included $6.4 million of future potential cash flow streams associated with OTAs and $1.7
million of future potential revenue streams associated with PPAs) for the first nine months of
fiscal 2010 to $74.8 million (which included $10.9 million of future potential cash flow streams
associated with OTAs and $1.9 million of future potential revenue streams associated with PPAs) for
the first nine months of fiscal 2011. This improvement in Contracted Revenue was attributable to an
increase in the number of OTAs and renewable project sales through our Orion Engineered Systems
division, along with an improved economic environment during the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Energy Management segment revenue increased $1.5 million, or 8%, from $18.2 million for
the fiscal 2010 third quarter to $19.7 million for the fiscal 2011 third quarter. The increase was
due to increased sales of our HIF lighting systems to our national account and wholesale customers,
increased revenue from new product offerings, including exterior lighting and LED fixtures. Energy
Management segment revenue increased $4.8 million, or 11%, from $44.7 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 2010 to $49.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011.
Energy Management segment operating income increased $0.5 million, or 19%, from $2.7 million
for the fiscal 2010 third quarter to $3.2 million for the fiscal 2011 third quarter. Energy
Management segment operating income increased $2.6 million, or 118%, from $2.2 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 2010 to $4.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The
increase in operating income for both the quarter and year-to-date, was a result of improved gross
margins on HIF lighting product sales due to cost reduction efforts to reduce labor costs and plant
reengineering of our manufacturing processes to improve production efficiencies.

Engineered Systems segment revenue increased $7.7 million, or 296%, from $2.6 million for
the fiscal 2010 third quarter to $10.3 million for the fiscal 2011 third quarter. Energy Systems
segment revenue increased $7.3 million, or 120%, from $6.1 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 2010 to $13.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The increase was due to
increased sales of solar renewable technologies for the fiscal 2011 third quarter and the first
nine months of fiscal 2011. During the same periods of fiscal 2010, our Engineered Systems segment
efforts were primarily focused on research of renewable technology products and understanding if
there was a market for these technologies within our customer base.
Engineered Systems segment operating income increased $1.2 million from an operating loss of
$0.2 million for the fiscal 2010 third quarter to operating income of $1.0 million for the fiscal
2011 third quarter. Energy Systems segment operating income increased $0.6 million from an
operating loss of $0.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to operating income of $0.1
million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The increase in operating income for both the
quarter and year-to-date, was a result of the increased revenue volume and resulting contribution
margin from sales of solar renewable energy systems.

Cash Flows Related to Operating Activities. Cash used in operating activities primarily
consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization,
stock-based compensation expenses, income taxes and the effect of changes in working capital and
other activities.
Cash used in operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was $10.7 million
and consisted of net cash of $14.2 million used for working capital purposes, partially offset by
net income adjusted for non-cash expense items of $3.5 million. Cash used for working capital
consisted of an increase of $10.3 million in accounts receivable due to the increase in revenue and
an increase of $6.2 million in inventory for purchases described under Liquidity and Capital
Resources Working Capital below. Cash provided by working capital included a $7.6 million
increase in accounts payable related to payment terms on inventory purchases during the fiscal 2011
third quarter.
Cash used in operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2010, was $3.7 million
and consisted of net cash of $4.1 million provided from working capital purposes, offset by net
loss adjusted non-cash expense items of $0.3 million. Cash used for working capital purposes
consisted of an increase of $3.0 million in trade receivables due to the increasing volume of our
OTA finance contracts being completed, a $2.8 million increase in prepaid and other due to an
increase of $3.7 in long-term accounts receivable from our OTA finance program offset by a decrease
in prepaid expenses resulting from refunds of deposits held under construction projects and for
operating leases and the amortization of expenses and a $4.3 million increase in inventories
resulting from purchases of ballast and wireless component inventories. We increased our level of
inventory for these components due to longer lead times and supply availability concerns for
inventory components shipping out of Asia. These amounts were offset by an increase of $5.2 million
in accounts payable for inventory purchases with payment terms and a $0.7 million increase in
accrued expenses resulting from
increases in accrued severance costs, increases in accrued legal expenses and increased deposit
payments for OTA contracts.
32
Cash Flows Related to Investing Activities. For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, cash
used in investing activities was $5.5 million. This included $2.1 million invested in equipment
related to our OTA and PPA finance programs, $2.9 million for capital improvements related to our
information technology systems, renewable technologies, manufacturing and tooling improvements and
facility investments, $0.3 million for long-term investments and $0.2 million for patent
investments.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2010, cash used in investing activities was $0.7 million.
This included $4.1 million for capital expenditures related to the technology center, operating
software systems, and processing equipment for capacity and cost improvement measures, $1.9 million
for OTV solar PV equipment installed and operating at customer locations and $0.2 million for
investment into patents, offset by cash provided from the maturation of short-term investments of
$5.5 million.
Cash Flows Related to Financing Activities. For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, cash
flows provided by financing activities were $2.7 million. This included $2.7 million in new debt
borrowings to fund OTA and capital projects, $0.4 million received from stock option and warrant
exercises and $0.2 million for excess tax benefits from stock based compensation. Cash flows used
in financing activities included $0.5 million for repayment of long-term debt and $0.1 million for
costs related to our new Credit Agreement.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2010, cash flows provided by financing activities was $0.2
million. This included proceeds of $0.9 million received from stock option and warrant exercises,
$0.2 million for proceeds from long-term debt and $0.1 million for excess tax benefits from stock
based compensation, offset by cash flows used in financing activities, which included $0.4 million
for common share repurchases and $0.6 million used for the repayment of long-term debt.
Working Capital
Our net working capital as of December 31, 2010 was $55.2 million, consisting of $75.8 million
in current assets and $20.6 million in current liabilities. Our net working capital as of March 31,
2010 was $59.2 million, consisting of $71.7 million in current assets and $12.5 million in current
liabilities. Our accounts receivables have increased from fiscal 2010 year-end by $10.3 million as
a result of our increased sales activity and related revenue during our fiscal 2011 third quarter.
Our inventories have increased from fiscal 2010 year-end by $6.2 million due to an increase in the
level of our wireless control inventories of $1.8 million based upon our Phase 2 initiatives and a
$4.4 million increase in ballast component inventories to avoid potential supply disruptions. The
vast majority of our wireless components are assembled overseas and require longer delivery lead
times. In addition, overseas suppliers require deposit payments at time of purchase order. As of
August 2010, we had completed our initial purchase and investment in wireless component
inventories. Since that period, we have been reducing our wireless inventories as we sell the
products to our customers. During the first nine months of fiscal 2011, we continued to increase
our inventory levels of key electronic components, specifically electronic ballasts, to avoid
potential shortages and customer service issues as a result of lengthening supply lead times and
product availability issues. We continue to monitor supply side concerns within the electronic
components market and believe that our current inventory levels are sufficient to protect us
against the risk of being unable to deliver product as specified by our customers requirements. We
also are continually monitoring supply side concerns through conversations with our key vendors and
currently believe that supply availability concerns, previously thought to be improving, have not
diminished to the point where we anticipate reducing safety stock to the levels that existed prior
to the electrical components supply issues. Accordingly, we expect to reduce inventories by
approximately $4.0 million during our fiscal 2011 fourth quarter by selling wireless control
inventory and through the shipment of our remaining solar panel inventories to customers during our
fiscal 2011 fourth quarter. We generally attempt to maintain at least a three-month supply of
on-hand inventory of purchased components and raw materials to meet anticipated demand, as well as
to reduce our risk of unexpected raw material component shortages or supply interruptions. Our
accounts receivables, inventory and payables may increase to the extent our revenue and order
levels increase.
We historically have funded the system costs of our OTAs and PPAs with our own cash. However,
we have more recently begun obtaining debt financing alternatives to support our OTA growth. During
the fiscal 2011 second quarter, we entered into a note agreement with a financial institution that
provided us with $2.4 million of funding for our OTA projects. We expect to close a second round of
funding with the same financial institution during the fourth fiscal quarter that will provide us
with an additional $1.3 million for funding OTA projects. To ensure long-term capital support for
our expected growth of these financing programs, we are currently pursuing several additional debt
financing alternatives to provide funding to specifically support the equipment and purchases that
underlie our OTAs and PPAs.
33
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our anticipated cash flows from
operating activities and our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be
sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months, dependent upon the
growth of our OTA finance programs and the extent to which we support such contracts with our own
cash.
Indebtedness
Revolving Credit Agreement
On June 30, 2010, we entered into a new credit agreement, or Credit Agreement, with JP Morgan
Chase Bank, N.A., or JP Morgan. The Credit Agreement replaced our former credit agreement.
The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility, or Credit Facility, that
matures on June 30, 2012. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are limited to (i) $15.0 million or
(ii) during periods in which the outstanding principal balance of outstanding loans under the
Credit Facility is greater than $5.0 million, the lesser of (A) $15.0 million or (B) the sum of 75%
of the outstanding principal balance of certain accounts receivable and 45% of certain inventory.
We also may cause JP Morgan to issue letters of credit for our account in the aggregate principal
amount of up to $2.0 million, with the dollar amount of each issued letter of credit counting
against the overall limit on borrowings under the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2010, we had
outstanding letters of credit totaling $1.7 million, primarily for securing collateral requirements
under equipment operating leases. We had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of
December 31, 2010. We were in compliance with all of our covenants under the credit agreement as
of December 31, 2010.
The Credit Agreement is secured by a first lien security interest in our accounts receivable,
inventory and general intangibles, and a second lien priority in our equipment and fixtures. All
OTAs, PPAs, leases, supply agreements and/or similar agreements relating to solar photovoltaic and
wind turbine systems or facilities, as well as all of our accounts receivable and assets related to
the foregoing, are excluded from these liens.
We must pay a fee of 0.25% on the average daily unused amount of the Credit Facility and a fee
of 2.00% on the daily average face amount of undrawn issued letters of credit. The fee on unused
amounts is waived if we or our affiliates maintain funds on deposit with JP Morgan or its
affiliates above a specified amount. We did not meet the deposit requirement to waive the unused
fee as of December 31, 2010.
Capital Spending
We expect to incur approximately $0.3 million in capital expenditures during the remainder of
fiscal 2011, excluding capital to support expected OTA growth. We spent approximately $2.9 million
in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 on information technologies, renewable energy-related
investments and other tooling and equipment for new products and cost improvements in our
manufacturing facility. Our capital spending plans predominantly consist of the completion of
projects that have been in place for several months and for which we have already invested
significant capital. We consider the completion of our information systems critical to our
long-term success and our ability to ensure a strong control environment over financial reporting
and operations. We expect to finance these capital expenditures primarily through our existing
cash, equipment secured loans and leases, to the extent needed, long-term debt financing, or by
using our available capacity under our credit facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Inflation
Our results from operations have not been, and we do not expect them to be, materially
affected by inflation.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our 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 our consolidated financial
statements requires us to make certain estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses, and our related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We re-evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to revenue recognition,
inventory valuation, the collectability of receivables, stock-based compensation, warranty reserves
and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. A
summary of our critical accounting policies is set forth in the Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates section of our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010. During
the quarter ended December 31, 2010, we adopted new accounting guidance related to revenue
recognition and estimated selling price on multiple element deliverables and updated our accounting
policy accordingly. There have been no other material changes in any of our accounting policies
since March 31, 2010.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Our exposure to market risk was discussed in the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk section contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
2010. There have been no material changes to such exposures since March 31, 2010.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
As a result of the restatement described in Note B to the accompanying Notes to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company re-evaluated the effectiveness of internal controls related to
accounting for the revenue associated with our OTA contracts.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance
as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in this
report. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our
Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the quarter ended December 31, 2010 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). After re-evaluating the effectiveness of
the controls noted above, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarter ended
December 31, 2010, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file
or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal
financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
quarter ended December 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. |

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
We are subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our
business. In addition to ordinary-course litigation, we are a party to the litigation described
below.
In February and March 2008, three class action lawsuits were filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York against us, several of our officers, all
members of our then existing board of directors, and certain underwriters relating to our December
2007 IPO. The plaintiffs claimed to represent those persons who purchased shares of our common
stock from December 18, 2007 through February 6, 2008. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things,
that the defendants made misstatements and failed to disclose material information in our IPO
registration statement and prospectus. The complaints alleged various claims under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. The complaints sought, among other relief, class certification,
unspecified damages, fees, and such other relief as the court may deem just and proper.
On August 1, 2008, the court-appointed lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 15, 2008,
we and the other director and officer defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated
complaint, and the underwriters filed a separate motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on
January 16, 2009. After oral argument on August 19, 2009, the court granted in part and denied in
part the motions to dismiss. The plaintiff filed a second consolidated amended complaint on
September 4, 2009, and the defendants filed an answer to the complaint on October 9, 2009.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, we reached a preliminary agreement to settle the class
action lawsuits and on January 3, 2011, the court issued an order granting preliminary approval of
the settlement. The court has scheduled a fairness hearing for April 14, 2011. Substantially all of
the proposed preliminary settlement amount will be covered by our insurance. However, for our share
of the proposed preliminary settlement not covered by insurance, we recorded an after-tax charge in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 of approximately $0.02 per share. We deposited our uninsured
share of the settlement amount in escrow on February 1, 2011.
If the preliminary settlement is not finally approved or the other conditions are not met, we
will continue to defend against the lawsuits and believe that we and the other defendants have
substantial legal and factual defenses to the claims and allegations contained in the consolidated
complaint. In such a case, we would intend to pursue these defenses vigorously. There can be no
assurance, however, that we would be successful, and an adverse resolution of the lawsuits could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. In
addition, although we carry insurance for these types of claims, a judgment significantly in excess
of our insurance coverage or any costs, claims or judgment which are disputed or not covered by
insurance could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and
cash flow. If the preliminary settlement is not finally approved or the other conditions are not
met, we are not presently able to reasonably estimate potential costs and/or losses, if any,
related to the lawsuit.
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could
materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our
control. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the
risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in
Part I Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2010, which we filed with the SEC on June 14, 2010. During the three months
ended December 31, 2010, there were no material changes to the risk factors that were disclosed in
Part I Item 1A under the heading Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2010.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
(b) Use of Proceeds
Our IPO was declared effective by the SEC on December 18, 2007. The net offering proceeds
received by us, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred in
connection with the offering, were approximately $78.6 million. Through December 31, 2010,
approximately $43.1 million of the proceeds from our IPO have been used to fund operations of our
business and for general corporate purposes and approximately $29.8 million was used for the
repurchase of common shares. The remainder of the net proceeds from the IPO are invested in bank
certificates of deposit and money market accounts. Other than for our share repurchases, there has
been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final
prospectus filed with the SEC on December 18, 2007 pursuant to Rule 424(b).

Statistical Data
The following table presents certain statistical data, cumulative from December 1, 2001
through December 31, 2010, regarding sales of our HIF lighting systems, total units sold (including
HIF lighting systems), customer kilowatt demand reduction, customer kilowatt hours saved, customer
electricity costs saved, indirect carbon dioxide emission reductions from customers energy
savings, and square footage we have retrofitted. The assumptions behind our calculations are
described in the footnotes to the table below.

A substantial majority of our HIF lighting systems, which generally operate at approximately
224 watts per six-lamp fixture, are installed in replacement of HID fixtures, which generally
operate at approximately 465 watts per fixture in commercial and industrial applications. We
calculate that each six-lamp HIF lighting system we install in replacement of an HID fixture
generally reduces electricity consumption by approximately 241 watts (the difference between
465 watts and 224 watts). In retrofit projects where we replace fixtures other than HID
fixtures, or where we replace fixtures with products other than our HIF lighting systems
(which other products generally consist of products with lamps similar to those used in our
HIF systems, but with varying frames, ballasts or power packs), we generally achieve similar
wattage reductions (based on an analysis of the operating wattages of each of our fixtures
compared to the operating wattage of the fixtures they typically replace). We calculate the
amount of kilowatt demand reduction by multiplying (i) 0.241 kilowatts per six-lamp equivalent
unit we install by (ii) the number of units we have installed in the period presented,
including products other than our HIF lighting systems (or a total of approximately 2.59
million units). |
|
(3) |
|
We calculate the number of kilowatt hours saved on a cumulative basis by assuming the
reduction of 0.241 kilowatts of electricity consumption per six-lamp equivalent unit we
install and assuming that each such unit has averaged 7,500 annual operating hours since its
installation. |
|
(4) |
|
We calculate our customers electricity costs saved by multiplying the cumulative total
customer kilowatt hours saved indicated in the table by $0.077 per kilowatt hour. The national
average rate for 2009, which is the most current full year for which this information is
available, was $0.0989 per kilowatt hour according to the United States Energy Information
Administration. |
|
(5) |
|
We calculate this figure by multiplying (i) the estimated amount of carbon dioxide emissions
that result from the generation of one kilowatt hour of electricity (determined using the
Emissions and Generation Resource Integration Database, or EGrid,
prepared by the United States Environmental Protection Agency), by (ii) the number of customer
kilowatt hours saved as indicated in the table. The calculation of indirect carbon dioxide
emissions reductions reflects the most recent Environmental Protection Agency eGrid data. |

Based on 2.59 million total units sold, which contain a total of approximately 12.95 million
lamps. Each lamp illuminates approximately 75 square feet. The majority of our installed
fixtures contain six lamps and typically illuminate approximately 450 square feet. |
