METRETEK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and
For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Organization — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Metretek Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, primarily Southern Flow Companies, Inc. (“Southern Flow”), PowerSecure, Inc. (“PowerSecure”) (and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, UtilityEngineering, Inc., PowerServices, Inc. and EnergyLite, Inc.), Metretek, Incorporated (“Metretek Florida”) (and its majority-owned subsidiary, Metretek Contract Manufacturing Company, Inc. (“MCM”)), and Marcum Gas Transmission, Inc. (“MGT”) (and its majority-owned subsidiary, Conquest Acquisition Company LLC (“CAC LLC”)), collectively referred to as the “Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”.

     These consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

     In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) have been made which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006 and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005.

     Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share — Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period on a basic and diluted basis. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if stock options and warrants were exercised using the average market price for the Company’s stock for the period. Diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of potential common shares related to stock options and warrants in periods in which the option or warrant exercise price is greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended

		2006				2005				2006				2005

Diluted earnings per common share		$	0.17			$	0.01			$	0.47			$	0.06

     Stock Based Compensation — As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”), using the modified prospective transition method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at the fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock, and the fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures.

     Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation expense was recognized for stock options issued to employees because the grant price equaled or was above the market price on the date of grant for options issued by the Company.

     Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 includes $188,013 of compensation costs related to outstanding stock options and $16,500 of compensation costs related to restricted stock awards that vested during the period. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes $528,641 of compensation costs related to outstanding stock options and $49,500 of compensation costs related to restricted stock awards that vested during

the period. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 includes $16,500 of compensation costs related to restricted stock awards that vested during the period. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes $49,500 of compensation costs related to restricted stock awards that vested during the period. There were no net income tax benefits related to the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2006 because a valuation allowance has been provided for 100% of the Company’s net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2006. All of the stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses for each reporting period.

     The Company maintains stock plans under which the Company may grant stock awards, incentive stock options, and nonqualified stock options to employees and officers, consultants, and non-employee directors. Nonqualified stock options have been granted in prior years to our directors (which generally vest immediately) under both our 1991 Directors’ Stock Plan and under our 1998 Stock Plan. Nonqualified and incentive stock options have been granted in prior years to our officers and employees (which generally vest over periods up to four years) under our 1991 Stock Option Plan and our 1998 Stock Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, 22,500 nonqualified stock options were issued to the directors of the Company under the 1998 Stock Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, 140,000 nonqualified stock options were issued to new employees of the Company outside of the Company’s existing stock option plans pursuant to an exception provided by the American Stock Exchange and 131,000 qualified stock options were issued to employees of the Company under the 1998 Stock Plan. On June 12, 2006, the stockholders of the Company adopted a proposal by the Board of Directors to increase the number of shares available under the 1998 Stock Plan by 1,000,000 shares to a total of 3,750,000 shares of common stock of the Company. At September 30, 2006, there were 806,366 options available for grant under the Company’s 1998 Stock Plan and there were no options available for grant under the Company’s 1991 Stock Plans.

     A summary of option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is as follows:

										Weighted
										Average
						Weighted				Remaining				Aggregate
						Average				Contractual				Intrinsic
		Shares				Exercise Price				Term (years)				Value
Balance, December 31, 2005			2,289,143			$	2.98
Granted			293,500				12.78
Exercised			(473,669	)			2.53
Canceled			—				—
Forfeited			(12,500	)			8.57
Balance, September 30, 2006			2,096,474			$	4.42				6.74			$	7.52
Exercisable, September 30, 2006			1,544,932			$	3.00				5.90			$	8.94

     The weighted average grant date fair value of the 22,500 options granted to the Company’s

directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $11.22. The weighted average grant date fair value of the 271,000 options granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $8.33. In each case, the fair value was measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: expected stock price volatility of 88%; risk free interest rate of 4.68%; no dividends; and an expected future life of 4.1 years for employees and 6 years for directors. The fair value of the stock option grants are amortized over the respective vesting period using the straight-line method and assuming a forfeiture rate of 5%.

     As of September 30, 2006, there was $2,409,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.91 years.

     The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $520,000 and $5,254,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The total fair value of stock awards vested was $36,000 and $245,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

     Cash received from stock option exercises for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $285,000 and $1,198,000, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $69,000 and $180,000, respectively.

     The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123(R) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005:

		Three Months				Nine Months
		Ended				Ended
		September 30, 2005				September 30, 2005
Net income — as reported		$	169,145			$	825,323
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method			(78,356	)			(263,666	)
Net income — pro forma		$	90,789			$	561,657
Income per basic common share:
As reported		$	0.01			$	0.07
Pro forma		$	0.01			$	0.05
Income per diluted common share:
As reported		$	0.01			$	0.06
Pro forma		$	0.01			$	0.04

     The fair values of stock options were calculated using the Black-Scholes stock option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants in 2005: stock price

volatility of 46%; risk-free interest rate of 4.42%; dividend rate of $0.00 per year; and an expected life of 4 years for options granted to employees and 10 years for options granted to directors.

     Statement of Cash Flows — Cash and all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase, including money market mutual funds, short-term time deposits, and government agency and corporate obligations, are classified as Cash and cash equivalents.

     Minority Interest — The minority shareholder’s interest in the equity and the income of CAC LLC is included in minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Effective April 1, 2006, the assets (consisting principally of the investment in MM 1995-2) and liabilities of CAC LLC (consisting principally of a long-term note payable) were distributed to its shareholders (including MGT), the separate operating activities of CAC LLC ceased, and the minority shareholder’s interest in the equity and income CAC LLC has been eliminated.

     Reclassification — Certain 2005 amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s net income (loss) or stockholders’ equity.

2. Significant Equity Transactions

     Stock Warrant Exercises — At December 31, 2005, 892,518 stock purchase warrants that had been issued in connection with a private placement in May 2004 remained outstanding. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.41 per share of common stock and expire in May 2009. On January 19, 2006, the Company exercised its right to call the remaining outstanding warrants by requiring the exercise of the warrants prior to February 19, 2006. As a result of the warrant call, 801,517 warrants were exercised resulting in $1,775,000 proceeds to the Company and the issuance of 705,000 shares of common stock of the Company. At September 30, 2006, 91,001 warrants remained outstanding due to restrictions placed upon one group of the warrant holders to limit its holdings of the Company’s common stock to 9.999% of total shares outstanding.

     Private Placement — On April 7, 2006, the Company completed a private placement of 2,012,548 shares of its common stock to certain institutional and accredited investors at a price of $14.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of $28,175,672 (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement was made pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2006. In addition, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 29, 2006, with the investors, pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement to register the resale of the shares purchased in the Private Placement by the investors, that was declared effective by the SEC on May 9, 2006. The Company is obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to keep the registration statement continuously effective until the earliest of five years after its effective date or until all of the shares covered by the registration statement have been sold or may be sold without the volume restrictions under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

     The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $26 million from the Private Placement, of which it used $5,064,000 for the retirement of long-term debt, and the balance of which it has and intends to continue to use for capital expenditures and for working capital purposes. The Company paid a cash commission in the amount of $1,856,419 to Roth Capital Partners, LLC, its placement agent in the Private Placement. The shares were issued in the Private Placement only to accredited investors in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The issuance of the shares to the investors was not registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold by the investors except pursuant to the registration statement discussed above or pursuant to an applicable exemption.

3. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

     During the first and third quarters of 2006, the Company acquired additional equity interests in MM 1995-2, its unconsolidated affiliate. The purchase price of $1,260,000 was financed from a combination of cash on hand and borrowings on the Company’s lines of credit. As a result, the Company, through MGT, now owns a 36.26% economic interest in MM 1995-2. The Company utilizes the equity method to account for its investment in MM 1995-2. Summarized financial information for MM 1995-2 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, are as follows:

		September 30,				December 31,

Net income		$	1,729,096			$	1,323,911			$	4,983,063			$	4,291,858

     The Company’s equity investment in unconsolidated affiliate balance at September 30, 2006 includes approximately $795,000 of unamortized purchase price premium on interests acquired. The purchase price premium is being amortized over a period of 14 years, which represents the weighted average useful life of the underlying assets acquired.

4. Intangible Contract Rights Acquired

     During the third quarter of 2006, PowerSecure purchased contract rights to provide services to federal customers of an investor-owned utility. The rights acquired include four existing contracts; rights to five existing proposals; a three-year non-compete agreement from the seller; and a three-year master service agreement with the utility. The purchase price for the contract rights was $1,500,000 which has been allocated to the individual rights acquired and is being amortized over the respective expected lives of the assets acquired.

5. Debt

     The balance of notes payable at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 consists of the following:

		September 30				December 31
		2006				2005
Lines of credit		$	—			$	1,314,200
Term loans:
Settlement note payable			—				1,687,500
Equipment and project loans			—				1,210,604
Investment loan			—				629,505
Total notes payable			—				4,841,809
Less current maturities:

Current maturities of notes payable			—				(1,248,286	)
Long-term maturities of notes payable		$	—			$	3,593,523

     Upon completion of the Private Placement described in Note 2, in April 2006 the Company paid down its lines of credit and term loan balances to $0 and has extinguished all of its term loan debt. The Company has retained its lines of credit and has amended its credit agreement with its lender to eliminate the annual facility fee, reduce the unused line fee, reduce the interest rate on any borrowings and to reduce or eliminate certain compliance reporting requirements until such time as the Company may borrow under the lines of credit.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

     Class Action and Related Litigation— In January 2001, a class action was filed in the District Court for the City and County of Denver, Colorado against the Company and certain affiliates and parties unrelated to the Company. The class action alleged that the defendants violated certain provisions of the Colorado Securities Act in connection with the sale of interests in an energy program of which MGT was the managing trustee. A settlement to fully resolve all

claims by the class against the Company and its affiliates was submitted and granted final approval by the district court on June 11, 2004. The loss that occurred as a result of the class action and settlement was recorded by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2002. All obligations of the Company under the settlement were extinguished during the second quarter of 2006.

     The Company is vigorously pursuing cross-claims and third party claims (“Other Party Claims”), including claims against the prior owners of the assets and against attorneys, consultants and a brokerage firm (the “Other Parties”) involved in the transactions underlying the claims in the Class Action, seeking recovery of damages and contribution, among other things, from the Other Parties. Some of the Other Parties have asserted counterclaims against the Company, which the Company is aggressively defending and believes are without merit.

     A trial on all remaining claims is currently set for August 2007. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be successful on any of the Other Party Claims or that it will prevail on the counterclaims brought against it by the Other Parties. However, should the Company realize any recovery (net of litigation expenses) from the resolution of such claims and/or counterclaims, 50% of such net recovery would be allocated to the Company, and the remaining 50% would be allocated as additional settlement funds payable to the Class.

     Other Matters — On March 14, 2006, the Company received a letter from the Market Regulation Department of the National Association of Securities Dealers (the “NASD”), on behalf of the American Stock Exchange, advising that it is conducting a review of trading activity in the Company’s common stock from November 2005 until the present. In that letter, the NASD requested various documents and information in connection with the Company’s announcements, contracts and orders during that time period. Management of the Company is cooperating fully with this review and has provided to the NASD the documentation that confirms all such contracts and orders supporting the Company’s announcements. The NASD letter states that its inquiry should not be construed as an indication that the NASD has determined that any violations of American Stock Exchange rules or federal securities laws have occurred, or a reflection upon the merits of the securities involved or upon any person who effected transactions in such securities.

     On May 17, 2006, the Company received a letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) notifying the Company that the SEC is conducting an informal, non-public inquiry regarding the Company. The inquiry requested the voluntary provision of a chronology of recent events relating to announcements made by the Company in February and March 2006 of orders received by the Company’s PowerSecure subsidiary, which includes events that were the subject of the previous review by the NASD. The SEC has advised the Company that the inquiry should not be construed as an indication by the SEC that any violation of law has occurred, and should not be considered a reflection upon any person or entity. Management of the Company is cooperating fully with this inquiry and has provided to the SEC the information requested.

     From time to time, the Company hires employees that are subject to restrictive covenants, such as non-competition agreements with their former employers. The Company complies, and

requires our employees to comply, with the terms of all known restrictive covenants. However, the Company has in the past and may in the future receive claims and demands by some former employers alleging actual or potential violations of these restrictive covenants. While the Company does not believe any pending claims have merit, the Company cannot provide any assurance of the outcome of these claims.

     From time to time, the Company is involved in other disputes and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company intends to vigorously defend all claims against us. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be accurately predicted due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, in the opinion of management, based upon current information, no other currently pending or overtly threatened dispute is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

     Preferred Stock Redemption—During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company retired an additional 55 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock at a redemption value of $81,000. The balance of the unpaid redemption obligation at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, was $324,000 and $405,000, respectively, and is included in Accrued and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

7. Segment Information

     The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies. The Company’s reportable business segments include: natural gas measurement services; distributed generation; and automated energy data collection and telemetry.

     The operations of the Company’s natural gas measurement services segment are conducted by Southern Flow. Southern Flow’s services include on-site field services, chart processing and analysis, laboratory analysis, and data management and reporting. These services are provided principally to customers involved in natural gas production, gathering, transportation and processing.

     The operations of the Company’s distributed generation segment are conducted by PowerSecure. PowerSecure commenced operations in September 2000. The primary elements of PowerSecure’s distributed generation products and services include project design and engineering, negotiation with utilities to establish tariff structures and power interconnects, generator acquisition and installation, process control and switchgear design and installation, and ongoing project monitoring and servicing. PowerSecure markets its distributed generation products and services directly to large end-users of electricity and through outsourcing partnerships with utilities. Through September 30, 2006, the majority of PowerSecure’s revenues have been generated from sales of distributed generation systems on a “turn-key” basis, where the customer purchases the systems from PowerSecure.

     During the second half of fiscal 2005, PowerSecure added two new business units,

UtilityEngineering, Inc. and PowerServices, Inc., to its operating segment and in February 2006, it announced a third addition to its operations, EnergyLite, Inc. PowerServices provides rate analysis and other similar consulting services to PowerSecure’s utility, commercial and industrial customers. Utility Engineering provides fee-based, technical engineering services to PowerSecure’s utility partners and customers. EnergyLite assists customers in reducing their use of energy through investments in more energy-efficient technologies. Each business unit operates in a distinct market with distinct technical disciplines, but share a common customer base which PowerSecure intends to service and grow through shared resources and customer leads. Accordingly, these units are included within PowerSecure’s segment results. In addition, during the third quarter of 2006, PowerSecure purchased contract rights to provide services to federal customers of an investor-owned utility. The rights acquired include four existing contracts; rights to five existing proposals; a three-year non-compete agreement from the seller; and a three-year master service agreement with the utility.

     The operations of our automated data collection and telemetry segment are conducted by Metretek Florida. Metretek Florida’s manufactured products fall into the following categories: field devices, including data collection products and electronic gas flow computers; data collection software products (such as InvisiConnect^TM, DC2000 and PowerSpring); and communications solutions that can use public networks operated by commercial wireless carriers to provide real time IP-based wireless internet connectivity, traditional cellular radio, 900 MHz unlicensed radio or traditional wire-line phone service to provide connectivity between the field devices and the data collection software products. Metretek Florida also provides data collection, M2M telemetry connectivity and post-sale support services for its manufactured products and turn-key solutions. In June 2002, Metretek Florida formed MCM to conduct and expand its contract manufacturing operations. During fiscal 2004, the Company discontinued the contract manufacturing business.

     The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on operating income (loss) before income taxes, nonrecurring items and interest income and expense. Intersegment sales are not significant. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table. The “Other” column includes corporate related items, revenues and expenses from managing MM 1995-2, results of insignificant operations and, as it relates to segment profit or loss, income and expense (primarily interest and finance charges) not allocated to reportable segments. The table information excludes the revenues, depreciation, and losses of the discontinued MCM operations for all periods presented.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

     The following discussion of our results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 (referred to herein as the “third quarter 2006” and “nine month period 2006”, respectively) and 2005 (referred to herein as the “third quarter 2005” and “nine month period 2005”, respectively) and of our financial condition as of September 30, 2006 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

     We are a diversified provider of energy technology products, services and data management systems primarily to industrial and commercial users and suppliers of natural gas and electricity. As a holding company, we conduct our operations and derive our revenues through our three operating subsidiaries, each of which operates a separate business:

	•		PowerSecure, which designs, sells and manages distributed generation systems;
	•		Southern Flow, which provides natural gas measurement services; and
	•		Metretek Florida, which designs, manufactures and sells data collection and energy measurement monitoring systems.

     In addition to these operating subsidiaries, we also own an approximate 36% economic interest in an unconsolidated business, Marcum Midstream 1995-2 Business Trust (“MM 1995-2”), which owns and operates water disposal facilities in northeastern Colorado.

     We commenced operations in 1991 as an energy services holding company, owning subsidiaries with businesses designed to pursue service opportunities primarily in the natural gas industry. Since then, our business has evolved and expanded through acquisitions of companies, businesses and new product lines that have allowed us to reach not only a broader portion of the energy market (including the electricity market) but also markets outside of the energy field. In recent years, we have focused our efforts on growing our businesses by offering new and enhanced products, services and technologies, and by entering new markets, within a framework emphasizing the goal of achieving profitable operations on a sustained basis.

     Our revenues and results of operations, on a quarterly, period and annual basis, are dependent upon, and are the consolidated result of, the revenues and results of operations of each of our operating subsidiaries, our economic interest in MM 1995-2 and our corporate overhead. While we operate generally in the energy technology products, services and data management industry, our businesses are diversified and each of our business segments is operated independently of the others and influenced and affected by many factors that may apply only to

that segment. Accordingly, our consolidated results of operations are an aggregation of different businesses and thus dependent upon a variety of factors applicable to each of these businesses.

     PowerSecure is an expanding company that has developed a distributed generation turn-key business. In addition, during the second half of fiscal 2005, PowerSecure added two new business units, UtilityEngineering and PowerServices, to its operating segment and in January 2006, it announced a third addition to its operations, EnergyLite. PowerServices provides rate analysis and other similar consulting services to PowerSecure’s utility, commercial and industrial customers. UtilityEngineering provides fee-based, technical engineering services to PowerSecure’s utility partners and customers. EnergyLite assists customers in reducing their use of energy through investments in more energy-efficient technologies. These units are intended to increase PowerSecure’s future growth opportunities beyond its core distributed generation business. In addition, during the third quarter of 2006, PowerSecure purchased contract rights to provide services to federal customers of an investor-owned utility. The rights acquired include four existing contracts; rights to five existing proposals; a three-year non-compete agreement from the seller; and a three-year master service agreement with the utility. The purchase price for the contract rights was $1,500,000.

     Notwithstanding the addition of these business units and the acquisition of these contract rights, PowerSecure is still in large part dependent upon the size and timing of projects, and its results of operations can be significantly impacted by large, individual projects. In November 2005 and March 2006, PowerSecure announced that it had received orders from Publix Super Markets, Inc. (“Publix”), a large commercial customer, for distributed generation projects that are expected to generate $115 million in revenues in the aggregate, of which approximately $65 million is scheduled to be completed during 2006 and the remainder during 2007. During the third quarter 2006, PowerSecure’s revenues and segment profit showed substantial increases over the third quarter 2005 primarily due to the increased revenues from the Publix projects as well as the growth of PowerSecure’s core distributed generation business and its new businesses as well as normal quarter-to-quarter fluctuations inherent in its operations. During the third quarter 2006, PowerSecure’s revenues were $28,221,000 (of which $17,137,000 was attributable to the Publix projects), an increase of $22,241,000, or 372%, over the third quarter 2005.

     Southern Flow is a well established, strong and expanding oil field services company that renders natural gas measurement and other services to oil and gas production companies. Due to the location of the production assets of many of its key customers, Southern Flow’s business in the second half of fiscal 2005 was adversely affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. During the first quarter 2006, Southern Flow’s Gulf Coast operations returned to normal levels. Southern Flow’s revenues increased by $845,000, or 27%, during the third quarter 2006 as compared to the third quarter 2005, due, in part, to increased field work and equipment sales and services related to repairing customer facilities that incurred hurricane damages in 2005, as well as favorable market conditions in the oil and gas sector.

     Metretek Florida has been in operation since 1977 with a core business of designing, manufacturing and selling data collection and energy measurement monitoring systems. In late 2004, we decided to restructure Metretek Florida’s business and discontinue its contract

manufacturing operations. Metretek Florida’s future results of operations will be largely dependent upon its ability to successfully address its core markets, as well as its ability to generate incremental sales from certain new markets into which it has recently introduced new telemetry products. Metretek Florida experienced a small decline in revenues but also a slight reduction in its segment losses during the third quarter 2006 compared to the third quarter 2005, due to normal fluctuations in its business.

     In addition to our operating subsidiaries, our results of operations are significantly impacted by our interest in MM 1995-2, which is recorded as equity in income of unconsolidated affiliate and included in our income from continuing operations and our net income. During the first and third quarters of 2006, we acquired 9.375% of additional equity interests in MM1995-2. The purchase price of $1,260,000 was financed from a combination of cash on hand and borrowings on our lines of credit. As a result, we now own a 36.26% economic interest in MM 1995-2.

     Due principally to an increase in revenues by PowerSecure, our consolidated revenues during the third quarter 2006 increased by $23,269,000, representing a 229% increase over third quarter 2005 consolidated revenues. We recorded income from continuing operations and net income of $2,911,000 during the third quarter 2006, including $627,000 equity in income from MM 1995-2, as compared to income from continuing operations and net income of $169,000 during the third quarter 2005, which included $419,000 equity in income of MM 1995-2.

     During the nine month period 2006, PowerSecure’s revenues and segment profit increased significantly over the nine month period 2005 due to the commencement of revenues from the Publix projects. Southern Flow’s revenues and segment profit also showed improvements during the nine month period 2006 over the nine month period 2005 as a result of generally improved market conditions and equipment sales and service revenues related to repairing customer facilities that received hurricane damages in 2005. Metretek Florida’s revenues also increased slightly during the nine month period 2006 as compared to the nine month period 2005, due to normal fluctuations in its business.

     As a result of the aforementioned increases in our segment revenues, our consolidated revenues during the nine month period 2006 increased by $52,498,000, representing a 164% increase over the nine month period 2005 consolidated revenues. We recorded income from continuing operations of $7,775,000 during the nine month period 2006, including $1,878,000 equity in income from MM 1995-2, as compared to income from continuing operations of $1,125,000 during the nine month period 2005, which included $1,341,000 equity in income of MM 1995-2. Our net income after discontinued operations was $7,775,000 during the nine month period 2006, as compared to net income after discontinued operations of $825,000 during the nine month period 2005, which included a loss on discontinued operations of $300,000.

     During the nine month period 2006, we took substantial steps to improve our balance sheet and liquidity, to reduce our long-term debt obligations, and to provide financial resources to support the expansion of our operations. In January 2006, we exercised our right to call the remaining outstanding warrants that had been issued in connection with a private placement in

May 2004. As a result of the warrant call, 801,517 warrants were exercised resulting in $1,775,000 proceeds to the Company and the issuance of 705,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Further, on April 7, 2006, we completed a private placement of 2,012,548 shares of our common stock to certain institutional and accredited investors at a price of $14.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of $28,175,672 (the “Private Placement”).

     Of the approximately $26 million in net cash proceeds we received from the Private Placement, we used approximately $5.1 million to retire long-term debt, and we intend to use the remainder for capital expenditures and for working capital purposes. Upon completion of the Private Placement we paid down our lines of credit and term loan balances to $0 and extinguished all of our term loan debt.

Critical Accounting Policies

     Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and percentage of completion, fixed price contracts, product returns, warranty obligations, bad debt, inventories, cancellations costs associated with long term commitments, investments, intangible assets, assets subject to disposal, income taxes, restructuring, service contracts, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making estimates and judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, and it is possible that such changes could occur in the near term.

     We have identified the accounting principles which we believe are most critical to understanding our reported financial results by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. These accounting policies are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

     We have three reportable segments. Our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies. Our reportable business segments are natural gas measurement services, distributed generation and automated energy data collection and telemetry.

     The operations of our natural gas measurement services segment are conducted by Southern Flow. Southern Flow’s services include on-site field services, chart processing and analysis, laboratory analysis, and data management and reporting. These services are provided principally to customers involved in natural gas production, gathering, transportation and processing.

     The operations of our distributed generation segment are conducted by PowerSecure. The primary elements of PowerSecure’s distributed generation products and services include project design and engineering, negotiation with utilities to establish tariff structures and power interconnects, generator acquisition and installation, process control and switchgear design and

installation, and ongoing project monitoring and servicing. PowerSecure markets its distributed generation products and services directly to large end-users of electricity and through outsourcing partnerships with utilities. Through September 30, 2006, the majority of PowerSecure’s revenues have been generated from sales of distributed generation systems on a turn-key basis, where the customer purchases the systems from PowerSecure.

     During the second half of fiscal 2005, PowerSecure added two new business units, UtilityEngineering and PowerServices, to its operating segment and in January 2006, it announced a third addition to its operations, EnergyLite. PowerServices provides rate analysis and other similar consulting services to PowerSecure’s utility, commercial and industrial customers. UtilityEngineering provides fee-based, technical engineering services to PowerSecure’s utility partners and customers. EnergyLite assists customers in reducing their use of energy through investments in more energy-efficient technologies. Each business unit operates in a distinct market with distinct technical disciplines, but share a common customer base which PowerSecure intends to service and grow through shared resources and customer leads. Accordingly, these units are included within PowerSecure’s segment results. In addition, during the third quarter of 2006, PowerSecure purchased contract rights to provide services to federal customers of an investor-owned utility. The rights acquired include four existing contracts; rights to five existing proposals; a three-year non-compete agreement from the seller; and a three-year master service agreement with the utility.

     The operations of our automated data collection and telemetry segment are conducted by Metretek Florida. Metretek Florida’s manufactured products fall into the following categories: field devices, including data collection products and electronic gas flow computers; data collection software products (such as InvisiConnect^TM, DC2000 and PowerSpring); and communications solutions that can use public networks operated by commercial wireless carriers to provide real time IP-based wireless internet connectivity, traditional cellular radio, 900 MHz unlicensed radio or traditional wire-line phone service to provide connectivity between the field devices and the data collection software products. Metretek Florida also provides data collection, M2M telemetry connectivity and post-sale support services for its manufactured products and turn-key solutions. In June 2002, Metretek Florida formed MCM to conduct and expand its contract manufacturing operations. During fiscal 2004, we discontinued that contract manufacturing business.

     We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on operating income (loss) before taxes, nonrecurring items and interest income and expense. Other profit (loss) amounts in the table above include corporate related items, fees earned from managing our unconsolidated affiliate, results of insignificant operations, and income and expense (primarily interest and finance charges) not allocated to its operating segments. Intersegment sales are not significant.

Third Quarter 2006 Compared to Third Quarter 2005

     Revenues. Our revenues are derived almost entirely from the sales of products and services by our subsidiaries. Our consolidated revenues for the third quarter 2006 increased $23,269,000, or 229%, compared to the third quarter 2005 due to increase in revenues at

PowerSecure and Southern Flow.

     PowerSecure’s revenues are influenced by the number, size and timing of various projects as well as the percentage completion on in-process projects. PowerSecure’s revenues have fluctuated significantly in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. PowerSecure’s revenues increased $22,241,000, or 372%, during the third quarter 2006 compared to the third quarter 2005. The increase in PowerSecure’s revenues during the third quarter 2006 compared to the third quarter 2005 was due to a $20,734,000 increase in distributed generation turn-key system project sales and services together with an increase of $1,507,000 in revenues from shared savings projects, professional services, monitoring and other service related revenues, including $1,390,000 of increased revenues contributed by PowerServices, UtilityEngineering, EnergyLite, and government sector projects. The increase in PowerSecure’s distributed generation turn-key system project sales and services revenues was largely attributable to a substantial increase in the total number of projects completed or in process during the third quarter 2006 compared to the third quarter 2005. The increase in the number of distributed generation projects was primarily due to the positive effects of the Publix projects, as well as an expansion of PowerSecure’s projects into new geographic markets as a result of increased marking efforts and the growth and market acceptance of new products and services by PowerSecure.

     Southern Flow’s revenues increased $845,000, or 27%, during the third quarter 2006, as compared to the third quarter 2005, due, in part, to increased field work and equipment sales and service revenues related to repairing customer facilities that incurred hurricane damages in 2005, as well as favorable market conditions in the oil and gas sector.

     Metretek Florida’s revenues decreased slightly by $35,000, or 4%, during the third quarter 2006 compared to the third quarter 2005 due to normal fluctuations in its business as it continues to develop its M2M business and create new sales opportunities. As discussed below under “—Quarterly Fluctuations”, Metretek Florida’s revenues have fluctuated significantly in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.

     Other revenues increased $218,000 during the third quarter 2006, as compared to the third quarter 2005. This increase was comprised principally of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents balances which resulted from the net proceeds of our recent Private Placement as well as an increase in fees earned from managing our unconsolidated affiliate.

     Costs and Expenses. The following table sets forth our costs and expenses during the periods indicated:

										Quarter-over-Quarter

     Costs of sales and services include materials, personnel and related overhead costs incurred to manufacture products and provide services. The 237% increase in cost of sales and services for the third quarter 2006, compared to the third quarter 2005, was attributable almost entirely to the increase in sales at PowerSecure and Southern Flow.

     The 382% increase in PowerSecure’s costs of sales and services in the third quarter 2006 is almost entirely a direct result of the 372% increase in PowerSecure’s revenues. PowerSecure’s gross profit margin decreased to 26.5% during the third quarter 2006, as compared to 28.0% during the third quarter 2005, reflecting additional personnel and capacity costs incurred to effectively meet customer delivery expectations, in the third quarter 2006 compared to the third quarter 2005.

     The 18% increase in Southern Flow’s costs of sales and services in the third quarter 2006 is the result of the 27% increase in its revenues. Southern Flow’s gross profit margin increased to 27.7% for the third quarter 2006, compared to 22.0% during the third quarter 2005. The third quarter 2006 gross profit margin is within the normal range of Southern Flow’s historical margins; however, the third quarter 2005 gross profit margin is well below Southern Flow’s historical margins reflecting the adverse effects on gross profit margins of Hurricanes Rita and Katrina during that period.

     The 6% increase in Metretek Florida’s costs of sales and services in the third quarter 2006, notwithstanding a 4% decline in Metretek Florida’s revenues, was due primarily to recent cost increases in component parts of its products. As a result, Metretek Florida’s gross profit margin decreased to 52.9% for the third quarter 2006, compared to 57.2% for the third quarter 2005.

     General and administrative expenses include personnel and related overhead costs for the support and administrative functions. The 176% increase in general and administrative expenses in the third quarter 2006, as compared to the third quarter 2005, was due to increases in personnel and related overhead costs associated with the development and growth of PowerSecure’s business, and increased corporate overhead costs related to personnel costs,

expenses associated with implementing the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley, stock compensation expense and other professional services.

     Selling, marketing and service expenses consist of personnel and related overhead costs, including commissions for sales and marketing activities, together with advertising and promotion costs. The 35% increase in selling, marketing and service expenses in the third quarter 2006, as compared to the third quarter 2005, was due primarily to increased personnel and business development expenses associated with the development and growth of the business of PowerSecure during the third quarter 2006.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses include the depreciation of property, plant and equipment and the amortization of certain intangible assets including capitalized software development costs and other intangible assets that do not have indefinite useful lives. The 127% increase in depreciation and amortization expenses in the third quarter 2006, as compared to the third quarter 2005, primarily reflects an increase in depreciable assets acquired by PowerSecure in the latter portions of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006 as well as an increase in amortization expense associated with contract rights acquired by PowerSecure in the third quarter of 2006 and our purchase of additional equity interests in MM1995-2 in the first and third quarters of 2006.

     Research and development expenses, all of which relate to activities at Metretek Florida, include payments to third parties, wages and related expenses for personnel, materials costs and related overhead costs related to product and service development, enhancements, upgrades, testing and quality assurance. The 14% decrease in research and development expenses in the third quarter 2006, as compared to the third quarter 2005, primarily reflects third-party product development costs incurred in the third quarter 2005 which were not incurred in the third quarter 2006.

     Interest, finance charges and other expenses include interest and finance charges on our credit facility as well as other non-operating expenses. The 93% decrease in interest, finance charges and other expenses in the third quarter 2006, as compared to the third quarter 2005, reflects the repayment of all of our long-term debt obligations, during the second quarter 2006.

     Income tax expenses include state income taxes in various state jurisdictions in which we have taxable activities as well as federal alternative minimum tax. Historically, we have incurred no federal income tax expense because of our consolidated net operating losses. During the third quarter 2006, however, we determined that we would likely incur federal alternative minimum tax during fiscal 2006. The increase in income taxes in the third quarter 2006, as compared to the third quarter 2005, was due to increases in state income taxes incurred by PowerSecure and Southern Flow in states in which they generated taxable income as well as federal alternative minimum tax.

Nine Month Period 2006 Compared to Nine Month Period 2005

     Revenues. Our consolidated revenues for the nine month period 2006 increased $52,498,000, or 164%, compared to the nine month period 2005. The increase was due to an

increase in revenues at each of our operating subsidiaries.

     PowerSecure’s revenues are influenced by the number, size and timing of various projects as well as the percentage completion on in-process projects. PowerSecure’s revenues have fluctuated significantly in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. PowerSecure’s revenues increased $49,439,000, or 253%, during the nine month period 2006 compared to the nine month period 2005. The increase in PowerSecure’s revenues during the nine month period 2006 compared to the nine month period 2005 was due to a $46,605,000 increase in distributed generation turn-key system project sales and services together with an increase of $2,834,000 in revenues from shared savings projects, professional services, monitoring and other service related revenues, including $2,041,000 of increased revenues contributed by PowerServices, UtilityEngineering, EnergyLite, and government sector projects. The increase in PowerSecure’s distributed generation turn-key system project sales and services revenues was largely attributable to a substantial increase in the total number of projects completed or in process during the nine month period 2006 compared to the nine month period 2005. The increase in the number of distributed generation projects was primarily due to the positive effects of the Publix projects, as well as an expansion of PowerSecure’s projects into new geographic markets as a result of increased marking efforts and the growth and market acceptance of new products and services by PowerSecure.

     Southern Flow’s revenues increased $2,572,000, or 27%, during the nine month period 2006, as compared to the nine month period 2005. The increase in Southern Flow’s revenues was primarily attributable to increased field work and equipment sales and service revenues related to repairing customer facilities that incurred hurricane damages in 2005, as well as favorable market conditions in the oil and gas sector.

     Metretek Florida’s revenues increased $37,000, or 1%, during the nine month period 2006 compared to the nine month period 2005. The increase in Metretek Florida’s revenues during the nine month period 2006 compared to the nine month period 2005 was due to normal fluctuations in its business. As discussed below under “—Quarterly Fluctuations”, Metretek Florida’s revenues have fluctuated significantly in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.

     Other revenues increased $450,000, or 149%, during the nine month period 2006, as compared to the nine month period 2005. This increase was comprised principally of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents balances which resulted from the net proceeds of our recent Private Placement as well as an increase in fees earned from managing our unconsolidated affiliate.

     Costs and Expenses. The following table sets forth our costs and expenses during the periods indicated:

		Nine Months Ended								Period-over-Period
		September 30,								Difference
		2006				2005				$				%
		(In thousands)
Costs and Expenses:

     The overall 165% increase in cost of sales and services for the nine month period 2006, compared to the nine month period 2005, was attributable almost entirely to increased revenues at Southern Flow and PowerSecure.

     The 250% increase in PowerSecure’s costs of sales and services in the nine month period 2006 is almost entirely a direct result of the 253% increase in PowerSecure’s revenues. PowerSecure’s gross profit margin increased to 26.6% during the nine month period 2006, as compared to 26.0% during the nine month period 2005, reflecting both cost efficiencies in project installation and construction as well as a higher percentage of professional service revenues, which have higher associated profit margins.

     The 23% increase in Southern Flow’s costs of sales and services in the nine month period 2006 is the result of the 27% increase in its revenues. Southern Flow’s gross profit margin improved to 27.6% for the nine month period 2006, compared to 25.3% during the nine month period 2005. While the gross profit margins experienced during these periods are within Southern Flow’s normal historical ranges, the gross profit margin during the nine month period 2005 was adversely affected by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.

     The 8% decrease in Metretek Florida’s costs of sales and services in the nine month period 2006, notwithstanding a 1% increase in Metretek Florida’s revenues, was due primarily as the result of overall lower costs in component parts of its products. As a result, Metretek Florida’s gross profit margin increased to 57.8% for the nine month period 2006, compared to 53.5% for the nine month period 2005.

     The 132% increase in general and administrative expenses in the nine month period 2006, as compared to the nine month period 2005, was due primarily to increases in personnel and related overhead costs associated with the development and growth of PowerSecure’s business. In addition, increased corporate costs related to personnel costs, expenses associated with implementing the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley, stock compensation expense and professional services together with smaller increases in personnel and related overhead costs at Southern Flow and Metretek Florida also contributed to the overall increase in general and

administrative expense during the nine month period 2006, as compared to the nine month period 2005.

     The 44% increase in selling, marketing and service expenses in the nine month period 2006, as compared to the nine month period 2005, was due primarily to increased personnel and business development expenses associated with the development and growth of the business of PowerSecure during the nine month period 2006.

     The 74% increase in depreciation and amortization expenses in the nine month period 2006, as compared to the nine month period 2005, primarily reflects the effects of an increase in depreciable assets acquired by PowerSecure as well as an increase in amortization expense associated with contract rights acquired by PowerSecure in the third quarter of 2006 and our purchase of additional equity interests in MM1995-2 in the first and third quarters of 2006.

     The 4% increase in research and development expenses in the nine month period 2006, as compared to the nine month period 2005, primarily reflects an increase in personnel costs.

     The 70% decrease in interest, finance charges and other expenses in the nine month period 2006, as compared to the nine month period 2005, reflects the repayment of all of our long-term debt obligations, in the second quarter 2006.

     The increase in income taxes in the nine month period 2006, as compared to the nine month period 2005, was due to increases in state income taxes incurred by PowerSecure and Southern Flow in states in which they generated taxable income as well as an increase in federal alternative minimum tax.

Quarterly Fluctuations

     Our revenues, expenses, margins, net income and other operating results have fluctuated significantly from quarter-to-quarter, period-to-period and year-to-year in the past and are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors include, without limitation, the following:

	•		the size, timing and terms of sales and orders, including large customer orders, such as the recent significant Publix orders at PowerSecure, as well as the effects of customers delaying, deferring or canceling purchase orders or making smaller purchases than expected;
	•		the effects of severe weather conditions, such as hurricanes, on the demand requirements of our customers;
	•		our ability to obtain adequate supplies of key components and materials for our products on a timely and cost-effective basis;
	•		our ability to implement our business plans and strategies and the timing of such implementation;
	•		the pace of development of our new businesses, including PowerSecure’s new

businesses, and the growth of their markets;

	•		the timing, pricing and market acceptance of our new products and services such as Metretek Florida’s new M2M offerings;
	•		changes in our pricing policies and those of our competitors;
	•		variations in the length of our product and service implementation process;
	•		changes in the mix of products and services having differing margins;
	•		changes in the mix of international and domestic revenues;
	•		the life cycles of our products and services;
	•		budgeting cycles of utilities and other major customers;
	•		general economic and political conditions;
	•		the effects of litigation, claims and other proceedings;
	•		the effects of governmental regulations and regulatory changes in our markets;
	•		economic conditions in the energy industry, especially in the natural gas and electricity sectors including the effect of cyclical changes in energy prices;
	•		changes in the prices charged by our suppliers;
	•		our ability to make and obtain the expected benefits from acquisitions of technology or businesses, and the costs related to such acquisitions;
	•		changes in our operating expenses; and
	•		the development and maintenance of business relationships with strategic partners.

     Because we have little or no control over most of these factors, our operating results are difficult to predict. Any substantial adverse change in any of these factors could negatively affect our business and results of operations.

     Our revenues and other operating results are heavily dependant upon the volume and timing of customer orders and payments and the date of product delivery. The timing of large individual sales is difficult for us to predict. Because our operating expenses are based on anticipated revenues and because a high percentage of these are relatively fixed, a shortfall or delay in recognizing revenue could cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and could result in significant operating losses in any particular quarter. If our revenues fall below our expectations in any particular quarter, we may not be able to reduce our expenses rapidly in response to the shortfall, which could result in us suffering significant operating losses in that quarter.

     Over PowerSecure’s six year operating history, its revenues, costs, gross margins, cash flow, net income and other operating results have varied from quarter-to-quarter, period-to-period and year-to-year for a number of reasons, including the factors mentioned above, and we expect such fluctuations to continue in the future. PowerSecure’s revenues depend in large part upon the timing and the size of projects awarded to PowerSecure, such as the recent significant

orders received by PowerSecure, and the timing of the completion of those projects. As PowerSecure develops new related lines of business, its revenues and costs will fluctuate as it takes time for revenues to develop, but also requires start-up expenses. Another factor that could cause material fluctuations in PowerSecure’s quarterly results is the amount of recurring, as opposed to non-recurring, sources of revenue. Through September 30, 2006, the majority of PowerSecure’s revenues constituted non-recurring revenues.

     Southern Flow’s operating results tend to vary, to some extent, with energy prices, especially the price of natural gas. For example, in recent years, the high price of natural gas has led to an increase in production activity by Southern Flow’s customers, resulting in higher revenues and net income by Southern Flow. Since energy prices tend to be cyclical, rather than stable, future cyclical changes in energy prices are likely to affect Southern Flow’s future revenues and net income. In addition, Southern Flow’s Gulf Coast customers are exposed to the risks of hurricanes and tropical storms, which can adversely affect Southern Flow’s results of operations during hurricane season, such as during 2005.

     Metretek Florida has historically derived most of its revenues from sales of its products and services to the utility industry. Metretek Florida has experienced variability in its operating results on both an annual and a quarterly basis due primarily to utility purchasing patterns and delays of purchasing decisions as a result of mergers and acquisitions in the utility industry and changes or potential changes to the federal and state regulatory frameworks within which the utility industry operates. The utility industry, both domestic and foreign, is generally characterized by long budgeting, purchasing and regulatory process cycles that can take up to several years to complete. In addition, Metretek Florida has only a limited operating history with its new M2M and telemetry business, and its operating results in this new business may fluctuate significantly as it develops this business.

     Due to all of these factors and the other risks discussed in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter, period-to-period or year-to-year comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of our future performance. Quarterly, period, or annual comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful or indicative of future performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Capital Requirements. We require capital primarily to finance our:

	•		operations;
	•		inventory;
	•		accounts receivable;
	•		research and development efforts;
	•		property and equipment acquisitions, including investments in shared savings projects;
	•		software development;
	•		debt service requirements; and
	•		business and technology acquisitions and other growth transactions.

     Cash Flow. We have historically financed our operations and growth primarily through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings under credit facilities, borrowings on shared savings projects, borrowings on a term loan to fund our acquisition of additional interests in our unconsolidated affiliate, and proceeds from private and public sales of equity. At September 30, 2006, we had working capital of $34,262,000, including $18,005,000 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to working capital of $4,911,000 on December 31, 2005, which included $2,188,000 in cash and cash equivalents.

     Net cash used in operating activities was $4,651,000 in the nine month period 2006, consisting of approximately $7,625,000 of cash provided by operations, before changes in assets and liabilities, approximately $12,324,000 of cash used by changes in working capital and other asset and liability accounts, and approximately $48,000 of cash provided by discontinued operations of MCM. This compares to net cash provided by operating activities of $285,000 in the nine month period 2005, consisting of approximately $1,527,000 of cash provided by operations, before changes in assets and liabilities, approximately $566,000 of cash used in changes in working capital and other asset and liability accounts, and approximately $676,000 of cash used by discontinued operations of MCM.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $3,952,000 in the nine month period 2006, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $987,000 in the nine month period 2005. The majority of the net cash used by investing activities during the nine month period 2006 was attributable to contract rights acquired by PowerSecure, the purchase of our additional investment in our unconsolidated affiliate, and the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements at PowerSecure. The net cash used by investing activities during the nine month period 2005 was attributable to equipment purchases for two shared savings distributed generation projects.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $24,420,000 in the nine month period 2006, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $1,600,000 in the nine month period 2005. The majority of the net cash provided by financing activities during the nine month period 2006 was attributable to cash proceeds from the Private Placement and exercise of stock warrants and options, partially offset by net payments on our line of credit and principal payments on our long-term notes payable. The majority of the net cash used by financing activities during the nine month period 2005 was attributable to net payments on our line of credit, principal payments on debt obligations, and cash payments made on our preferred stock redemptions.

     Our research and development expenses totaled $536,000 during the nine month period 2006 compared to $515,000 during the nine month period 2005. Virtually all of our nine month period 2006 research and development expenses were directed toward the enhancement of Metretek Florida’s business, including the development of its M2M communications products. During the remainder fiscal 2006, we plan to continue our research and development efforts to enhance our existing products and services and to develop new products and services. We anticipate that our research and development expenses in fiscal 2006 will total approximately

$715,000, virtually all of which will be directed to Metretek Florida’s business.

     Our capital expenditures during the nine month period 2006 were approximately $2,708,000, the vast majority of which was incurred for the purchase of contract rights, miscellaneous equipment items, and leasehold improvements at PowerSecure. During the nine month period 2005, our capital expenditures were approximately $929,000, including $439,000 of capital expenditures incurred in building three PowerSecure shared savings distributed generation projects. We anticipate capital expenditures in fiscal 2006 of approximately $2.9 million, the vast majority of which will be for the benefit of the business of PowerSecure. In addition, we may incur additional capital expenditures for PowerSecure’s shared savings distributed generation projects during the remainder of fiscal 2006.

     Project Loans. On May 9, 2005, Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (referred to herein, collectively with its affiliate Caterpillar Power Finance, as “Caterpillar”) offered PowerSecure a $5,000,000 line of credit (the “Caterpillar Equipment Line”) to finance the purchase, from time to time, of Caterpillar generators to be used in PowerSecure projects, primarily in shared savings arrangements, pursuant to a letter by Caterpillar to PowerSecure containing the terms of this credit line. Under the Caterpillar Equipment Line, PowerSecure may submit equipment purchases to Caterpillar for financing, and Caterpillar may provide such financing in its discretion at an interest rate, for a period of time between 12 and 60 months and upon such financing instruments, such as a promissory note or an installment sales contract, as are set by Caterpillar on a project by project basis. With respect to any equipment financed by Caterpillar, PowerSecure must make a 10% cash down payment of the purchase price and grant to Caterpillar a first priority security interest in the equipment being financed as well as other equipment related to the project. PowerSecure had three shared savings project loans and one equipment loan outstanding to Caterpillar in the aggregate amount of $1,137,000 at March 31, 2006. Upon completion of the Private Placement described above, in April 2006 we paid down our term loan balances to $0 and extinguished all of our obligations to Caterpillar under the term loans.

     On May 18, 2006, Caterpillar notified PowerSecure that Caterpillar renewed the Caterpillar Equipment Line until April 30, 2007, and increased its size to $7,500,000. The letter setting forth the terms of the renewed and increased Caterpillar Equipment Line confirms the intent of Caterpillar to finance equipment purchases by PowerSecure, but provides that it is not an unconditional binding commitment to provide such financing. The Caterpillar Equipment Line is contingent upon the continued credit-worthiness of PowerSecure in the sole discretion of Caterpillar. At September 30, 2006, PowerSecure had the full $7.5 million available for additional equipment purchases under the Caterpillar Equipment Line.

     Working Capital Credit Facility. We have a credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with First National Bank of Colorado (the “FNBC”), providing for a $4.5 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which was modified August 7, 2006 to reduce the interest rate on borrowed funds, reduce the unused line fee, eliminate the annual fee and relax certain financial covenants and reporting requirements. Southern Flow and PowerSecure are the borrowers under the Credit Facility. Amounts, if any, borrowed under the Credit Facility currently bear interest at

the lender’s prime rate. The Credit Facility matures on September 1, 2007. The Credit Facility had been used primarily to fund the operations and growth of PowerSecure, as well as the operations of Southern Flow and Metretek Florida. In April 2006, upon completion of the Private Placement described above, we paid down our Credit Facility balances to $0.

     The Credit Facility is structured in two parts: a $2.5 million facility for PowerSecure (the “PowerSecure Facility”) and a $2.0 million facility for Southern Flow (the “Southern Flow Facility”). Borrowings under the PowerSecure Facility are limited to a borrowing base consisting of the sum of 75% of PowerSecure’s eligible accounts receivable, plus 25% of the sum of PowerSecure’s unbilled accounts receivable less the amount of PowerSecure’s unearned revenues or advanced billings on contracts, plus 25% of PowerSecure’s inventory. Borrowings under the Southern Flow Facility are limited to a borrowing base consisting of the sum of 80% of Southern Flow’s eligible accounts receivable plus 20% of Southern Flow’s inventory. At September 30, 2006, the aggregate borrowing base under the Credit Facility was $4,500,000, all of which was available for borrowing.

     The obligations of PowerSecure and Southern Flow, as borrowers, under the Credit Agreement are secured by security agreements (the “Security Agreements”) by Southern Flow, PowerSecure and Metretek Florida and are guaranteed by the Company. The Security Agreements grant to FNBC a first priority security interest in virtually all of the assets of each of the parties to the Credit Agreement.

     The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants pertaining to minimum current assets to current liabilities ratio for PowerSecure, minimum tangible net worth for Southern Flow and maximum debt to tangible net worth ratios of the Company. The Credit Agreement contains other customary covenants that apply to us and to PowerSecure, Southern Flow and Metretek Florida, limiting the incurrence of additional indebtedness or liens, restricting dividends and redemptions of capital stock, restricting their ability to engage in mergers, consolidations, sales and acquisitions, to make investments, to issue guarantees of other obligations, to engage in transactions with affiliates to or make restricted payments and other matters customarily restricted in secured loan agreements, without FNBC’s prior written consent.

     The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults, certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, judgment defaults and certain ERISA-related events.

     Preferred Stock Redemption. The terms of our Series B Preferred Stock required us to redeem all shares of our Series B Preferred Stock that remained outstanding on December 9, 2004 at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. Our remaining redemption obligation at September 30, 2006 is approximately $324,000.

     Term Loan. CAC LLC had a term loan outstanding to a commercial bank in the amount of $579,000 at March 31, 2006. The term loan financed our purchase of additional equity

interests in our unconsolidated affiliate, MM 1995-2, in fiscal 2004. The term loan was secured by our interests in MM 1995-2, and we provided a guaranty of $625,000 of the term loan. The term loan provided for 60 monthly payments of principal and interest (at a rate of 5.08%) in the amount of approximately $18,500 per month. In April 2006, upon completion of the Private Placement described above, we distributed the assets (consisting principally of the investment in MM 1995-2) and liabilities (consisting principally of the term loan) of CAC LLC to its shareholders (including MGT), paid down our share of the term loan balance to $0, and extinguished all of our obligations to the lender under the term loan.

     Settlement Note. We had a settlement note outstanding in the amount of $1,500,000 at March 31, 2006 as a result of class action litigation that was settled in fiscal 2004. The settlement note bore interest at the rate of prime plus three percent and was payable in 16 quarterly installments of $187,500 principal plus accrued interest each. In April 2006, upon completion of the Private Placement described above, we paid down the settlement note balance to $0 and extinguished all of our obligations to the class action settlement note holders.

     Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments. We incur various contractual obligations and commercial commitments in our normal course of business. We lease certain office space, operating facilities and equipment under long-term lease agreements. To the extent we borrow under our Credit Facility or under the Caterpillar Equipment Line, we are obligated to make future payments under those facilities. The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as they existed at September 30, 2006.

		Payments Due by Period (1)

     Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. During the nine month period 2006, we did not engage in any material off-balance sheet activities or have any relationships or arrangements with unconsolidated entities established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities nor do we have any commitment or intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

     Liquidity. Based upon our plans and assumptions as of the date of this Report, we currently believe that our capital resources, including our cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from our recent Private Placement, amounts available under our Credit Facility, along with funds expected to be generated from our operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including for working capital, research and development, capital expenditures and debt service commitments, for at least the next 12 months. However, any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. See “—Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below in this Item and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” below. We continually evaluate opportunities to raise additional capital from sales of equity or debt securities, to improve or to expand our credit facilities, or otherwise to strengthen our financial position. We also continually evaluate opportunities to expand our current, or to develop new, products, services, technologies and businesses that could increase our capital needs. In addition, from time to time we consider the acquisition of, or the investment in, complementary businesses, products, services and technologies that might affect our liquidity requirements. We cannot provide any assurance that our actual cash requirements will not be greater than we currently expect.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     As of January 1, 2006, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”), using the modified prospective transition method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at the fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock, and the fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures.

     Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation expense was recognized for stock options issued to employees or directors because the grant price equaled or was above the market price on the date of grant for options issued by the Company.

     Our net income for nine month period 2006 includes $529,000 of compensation costs recognized under the provisions of FAS 123(R) related to outstanding stock options. There were no net income tax benefits related to our stock-based compensation arrangements during the nine month period 2006 because a valuation allowance has been provided for 100% of the Company’s net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2006. All of our stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.

     In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”
(“FAS 154”). FAS 154 changes the requirements

for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle, and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. Previously, most changes in accounting principles were required to be recognized by way of including the cumulative effect of the changes in accounting principle in the income statement in the period of change. FAS 154 requires that such changes in accounting principle be retrospectively applied as of the beginning of the first period presented as if that accounting principle had always been used, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. However, FAS 154 does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements. The adoption of FAS 154 had no effect on our financial position or results of operations during the nine month period 2006.

     In February 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“FAS 155”). FAS 155 eliminates the exemption from applying FASB Statement No.133 to interests in securitized financial assets. FAS 155 is effective for the first fiscal year end that begins after September 15, 2006, which for us will be January 1, 2007. We do not believe adoption of FAS 155 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

     In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 will become effective for us on January 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our financial position and results of operations.

     In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value to measure assets and liabilities, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value. FAS 157 is applicable whenever another accounting pronouncement requires or permits assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. FAS 157 does not expand or require any new fair value measures. FAS 157 is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FAS 157 will have on our financial position or results of operations.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of and made under the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). From time to time in the future, we may make additional forward-looking statements in presentations, at conferences, in press releases, in other reports and filings and otherwise. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of

historical fact, including statements that refer to plans, intentions, objectives, goals, strategies, hopes, beliefs, projections, prospects, expectations or other characterizations of future events or performance, and assumptions underlying the foregoing. The words “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “will”, “project”, “intend”, “continue”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “expect”, “plan”, “potential”, “opportunity” and “scheduled”, variations of such words, and other comparable terminology and similar expressions are often, but not always, used to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the following:

	•		our prospects, including our future revenues, expenses, net income, margins, profitability, cash flow, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations;
	•		our products and services and the markets therefor, including market position, market share, market demand and benefits to customers;
	•		our ability to successfully develop, operate and grow our businesses;
	•		our business plans, strategies, goals and objectives;
	•		the sufficiency of our capital resources, including our cash and cash equivalents, funds generated from operations, available borrowings under our credit arrangements and other capital resources, to meet our future working capital, capital expenditure, debt service and business growth needs;
	•		industry trends and customer preferences;
	•		the nature and intensity of our competition, and our ability to successfully compete in our markets;
	•		business acquisitions, combinations, sales, alliances, ventures and other similar business transactions and relationships;
	•		the effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations of litigation and other claims and proceedings that arise from time to time; and
	•		future economic, business, market and regulatory conditions.

     Any forward-looking statements we make are based on our current plans, intentions, objectives, goals, strategies, hopes, beliefs, projections and expectations, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, any or all of which could turn out to be wrong. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events, but are subject to and qualified by substantial risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are difficult to predict and are often beyond our control. Forward-looking statements will be affected by assumptions we might make that do not materialize or prove to be incorrect and by known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as amended or supplemented in subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as other risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed elsewhere in this Report and in our other reports and documents filed from time to time with the SEC.

     Any forward-looking statements contained in this Report speak only as of the date of this Report, and any other forward-looking statements we make from time to time in the future

speaks only as of the date it is made. We undertake no duty or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement for any reason, whether as a result of changes in our expectations or the underlying assumptions, the receipt of new information, occurrence of future or unanticipated events, circumstances or conditions or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions we enter into in the ordinary course of business. These market risks are primarily due to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices, which may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

     Our exposure to market risk resulting from changes in interest rates relates primarily to income from our investments in short-term interest-bearing marketable securities, which is dependent upon the interest rate of the securities held, and to interest expenses attributable to our Credit Facility, which is based on floating interest rates as described in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” of this Report.

     At September 30, 2006, our cash and cash equivalent balance was approximately $18 million and our Credit Facility had a zero balance. All of our cash equivalents are currently invested in money market mutual funds and short-term corporate obligations, the income of which generally increases or decreases in proportion to increases or decreases, respectively, in interest rates. We do not believe that changes in interest rates have had a material impact on us in the past or are likely to have a material impact on us in the foreseeable future. For example, a change of 1% (100 basis points) in the interest rate on either our investments or any future reasonably likely borrowings would not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

     Since substantially all of our revenues, expenses and capital spending are transacted in U.S. dollars, we are not exposed to significant foreign exchange risk. However, from time to time we are subject to market risk from fluctuating commodity prices in certain raw materials we use.

     We do not use derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge our exposure to interest rate changes or other market risks, or for trading or other speculative purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2006, the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were

effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations in Control Systems

     A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations on all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all errors, control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with a company have been detected. The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

For a description of these legal proceedings, see note 6 to our consolidated financial statements, “Commitments and Contingencies,” which is contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Report and incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

     Our business and operating results are subject to many risks, uncertainties and other factors. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, affairs, assets, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include the information discussed elsewhere in this Report as well as the risk factors set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and the risk factors set forth in “Item 1.A Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006, and June 30, 2006.
