GEMMA POWER SYSTEMS, LLC AND AFFILIATES
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
For the 49 Weeks Ended December 8, 2006
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies :
Principles of Combination
The combined financial statements of Gemma Power Systems, LLC and Affiliates include the accounts of Gemma Power Systems, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary, Gemma Power Hartford, LLC, Gemma Power Systems California, Inc. and Gemma Power, Inc. These entities together are referred to as the “Company" in the accompanying notes. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination. The members’ liability in the entities organized as limited liability companies is limited to the net assets of the respective entity.
Nature of Operations
Gemma Power Systems, LLC and Affiliates, located in Glastonbury, Connecticut, are engaged in the engineering and construction of biodiesel and ethanol production facilities and power energy systems. The Company also provides consulting, owner’s representative, operating, and maintenance services to the energy market.
The Company’s work is performed under cost-plus-fee contracts, fixed-price contracts, and time and materials contracts. The length of the Company’s contracts varies, but is typically between six months and two years.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from fixed price construction contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by the costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured by the cost-to-cost method.
Project costs include both direct and indirect expenses related to contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Off Balance Sheet Risk
During the 49 weeks ended December 8, 2006, the Company had amounts in excess of $100,000 in a single bank. Amounts over $100,000 are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. These balances fluctuate greatly during the year and can exceed this $100,000 limit. Management regularly monitors the financial institutions, together with its cash balances, and tries to keep this potential risk to a minimum.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
For the 49 Weeks Ended December 8, 2006
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies : (Continued)
Income Taxes
Gemma Power Systems, LLC and Gemma Power Hartford, LLC are treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. As such, income and deductions flow through to the members, who include their share of income and losses on their respective income tax returns. Gemma Power Systems California, Inc. and Gemma Power, Inc. have elected to be taxed under Subchapter-S of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, income and deductions flow through to the shareholders, who include their share of income and losses on their respective income tax returns. Accordingly, since the Company has no federal tax liability, a provision for federal income tax expense has not been made.
The Company is subject to income tax in certain states in which it operates. These statements include a provision of $76,080 for these state income taxes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known cash amounts and have maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition so as to minimize risks of value changes. Supplemental cash flow information includes state income taxes paid by the Company of $48,890 for the 49 weeks ended December 8, 2006.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company previously adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R (FIN No. 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The Company has evaluated its relationship with a related party (see Note 6 - Related Party Transactions) and has determined that, although the entity is a variable interest entity, it is not required to be consolidated in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to FIN No. 46R because the Company is not the primary beneficiary and has no exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this entity.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the property accounts, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the assets are expensed currently.
The Company follows the policy of providing for depreciation of property and equipment by charging against earnings amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of property on their estimated useful lives as follows:
| Computer
software | 3
years |
| --- | --- |
| Computer
equipment | 3-5
years |
| Office
equipment | 5-7
years |
| Furniture
and fixtures | 7
years |
| Automobiles | 5
years |
| Construction
equipment | 5-7
years |
Depreciation and amortization are provided on various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial statement purposes.

GEMMA POWER SYSTEMS, LLC AND AFFILIATE
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies :
Principles of Combination
The combined financial statements of Gemma Power Systems, LLC and Affiliate include the accounts of Gemma Power Systems, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary, Gemma Power Hartford, LLC, and Gemma Power Systems California, Inc. These entities together are referred to as the “Company" in the accompanying notes. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination.
Nature of Operations
Gemma Power Systems, LLC and Affiliate, located in Glastonbury, Connecticut, is engaged in the engineering and construction of power energy systems. The Company also provides consulting, owner’s representative, operating, and maintenance services to the energy market.
The Company’s work is performed under cost-plus-fee contracts, fixed-price contracts, and time and materials contracts. These contracts are undertaken by the Company or in partnership with other contractors through joint ventures. The length of the Company’s contracts varies, but is typically between six months and two years.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from fixed price construction contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by the costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured by the cost-to-cost method.
Project costs include both direct and indirect expenses related to contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Off Balance Sheet Risk
During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had amounts in excess of $100,000 in a single bank. Amounts over $100,000 are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. These balances fluctuate greatly during the year and can exceed this $100,000 limit. Management regularly monitors the financial institutions, together with its cash balances, and tries to keep this potential risk to a minimum.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to the Combined Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies : (Continued)
Income Taxes
Gemma Power Systems, LLC and Gemma Power Hartford, LLC are treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. As such, income and deductions flow through to the members, who include their share of income and losses on their respective income tax returns. Gemma Power Systems California, Inc. has elected to be taxed under Subchapter-S of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, income and deductions flow through to the shareholders, who include their share of income and losses on their respective income tax returns. Accordingly, since the Company has no federal tax liability, a provision for federal income tax expense has not been made.
Gemma Power Systems, LLC is subject to an income tax in the state of California. These statements include a provision for this tax, which was $11,790 and $-0- in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Gemma Power Systems California, Inc. is subject to a minimum income tax in the state of California. These statements include a provision for this tax, which was $10,480 and $772 in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known cash amounts and have maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition so as to minimize risks of value changes. Supplemental cash flow information includes state income taxes paid by the Company of $1,600 and $8,817 in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Principles of Consolidation
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R (FIN No. 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The Company has evaluated its relationship with a related party (see Note 6 - Related Party Transactions) and has determined that, although the entity is a variable interest entity, it is not required to be consolidated in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to FIN No. 46R because the Company is not the primary beneficiary.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the property accounts, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the assets are expensed currently.
The Company follows the policy of providing for depreciation of property and equipment by charging against earnings amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of property on their estimated useful lives as follows:
| Computer
software | 3
years |
| --- | --- |
| Computer
equipment | 3-5

| Office
equipment | 5-7

| Furniture
and fixtures | 7

| Automobiles | 5

The pro forma information reflects the total consideration paid.
Gemma reports its results of operations using a calendar year end. In preparing the pro forma information, the Company utilized Gemma’s December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006 results of operations in the unaudited condensed proforma combined statements for the year ended January 31, 2006 and the nine months ended October 31, 2006.
