Report of Independent Auditors
 
To Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Comverge, Inc.
 
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Comverge, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Comverge, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003

(All notes in thousands of dollars, except per share data)
 
1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Description of Business
Comverge, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “We” or the "Company"), provides (i) Energy intelligence systems, comprised of hardware, software and installation services, to utilities and other energy customers and (ii) On-call capacity relief to electricity generators and transmitters (Note 14). Prior to April 2003, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Data Systems & Software, Inc. (“DSSI”). In April 2003 and continuing thereafter, the Company completed a series of equity financings totaling $35,410 (Note 11). DSSI remained the Company’s largest shareholder owning approximately 25 percent and 41 percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting equity at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
Liquidity
The Company has experienced losses since inception and expects to generate additional losses in the foreseeable future. During 2004, the Company raised additional financing and management believes this, along with available borrowing capacity, will be sufficient to meet the operating needs of the Company over the next twelve months. Additional financing may be required to help the Company continue to develop its Enterprise business (Note 14).
 
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Foreign Currency Translations
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted is the United States Dollar ("dollar"). Accordingly, Comverge and its subsidiaries use the dollar as their functional currency. All exchange gains and losses denominated in nondollar currencies are presented on a net basis in operating expense in the consolidated statement of operations when they arise. Foreign currency loss amounted to $4 and $15 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
Principles of Consolidation and Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and demand deposits in banks and short-term investments.

Comverge, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004 and 2003

(All notes in thousands of dollars, except per share data)
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on specific identification of accounts considered to be doubtful of collection as well as historical experience. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003 there were no accounts identified as doubtful of collection.
 
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory cost is determined on the basis of specific identification based on acquisition cost, and due provision is made to reduce all slow-moving, obsolete, or unusable inventories to their estimated useful or scrap values.
 
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are presented at the lesser of cost or fair value at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. In the case of installed assets that are part of long-term contracts, the assets are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or the expected life of the contract. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or useful life. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
 
In accordance with Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, the Company recognizes the fair value of liabilities for asset retirement obligations in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Any associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and recognized as depreciation expense over the assets useful life. As part of the Company’s Enterprise business (Note 14), the Company installs hardware at the places of residence of select utility customers’ homes. At the request of the homeowner, the Company is obligated to remove this hardware. Accordingly, in 2004, the Company recognized an asset retirement obligation liability and an associated increase in the value of long-lived assets of $102. In 2003, the estimated cost of these obligations was immaterial. As such, there was no obligation recognized.
 
Goodwill and Intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net tangible assets of subsidiaries acquired in purchase transactions. Goodwill is not being amortized in accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on at least an annual basis, on December 31 of each year. Based on the Company’s most recent impairment test, there has been no impairment loss recognized for goodwill.
 
The costs of licensed technology are presented at their fair value at acquisition date. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license, generally five years.
 
The costs of registered patents and patents pending acquired from third parties are presented at their fair value at acquisition date. In addition, registration costs and fees for patents are capitalized. Registered patents costs are amortized over the estimated remaining useful life of the patents, from four to fourteen years. Costs for patents pending are not amortized until they are issued.

Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenues when the following criteria have been met: delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, collection is probable, and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.
 
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements With Multiple Deliverables, the Company assesses revenue arrangements to determine when multiple deliverables exist in order to determine if separate accounting is required for these deliverables separately per EITF 00-21.
 
Revenue from time-and-materials service contracts and other services are recognized as services are provided. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract.
 
In accordance with SAB 104, the Company defers revenues and associated costs of revenues related to certain long term contracts until such time as the contract price is fixed and determinable. These contracts require the Company to provide capacity through our load curtailment solutions to electricity generators, and require a measurement and verification of capacity provided on an annual basis in order to determine final contract consideration for a given year. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company deferred $1,713 of revenues and $281 of corresponding costs of revenues.
 
In accordance with EITF issue 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, the Company reports shipping and handling revenues and their associated costs in Revenue and Cost of Revenue, respectively.
 
Warranty Provision
Comverge generally warrants its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. These product warranties are provided for specific periods of time and/or usage of the product depending on the nature of the product, the geographic location of its sale and other factors. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003 the Company had accrued $161 and $152, respectively, for estimated product warranty costs, which was included in other current liabilities. The accrued product warranty costs were based primarily on estimated costs to satisfy a customer warranty claim. Warranty claims expense for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $91 and $20, respectively.

Advertising Expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $2,816 and $813 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
 
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee and director stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. In accordance therewith, the Company records compensation expense on fixed stock options and restricted common stock granted to employees and directors at the date of grant if the current market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price of the options and restricted common stock. Compensation expense on variable stock option grants is estimated until the measurement date. Deferred compensation is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period of the underlying options. The Company complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”). As such, the Company provides pro forma net income disclosures for employee and director stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS 123 had been applied. The Company’s stock-based employee compensation plan is described more fully in Note 12.
 
Total stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair-value method for all awards was $35 and $52 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. See the pro forma net loss reconciliation in the table below.

Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related assets or liabilities for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences, if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that they will not be realized.

(All notes in thousands of dollars, except per share data)
 
Income taxes associated with the undistributed earnings of a subsidiary are provided for in accordance with Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 23, when the Company has sufficient evidence that the subsidiary has invested or will invest the undistributed earnings indefinitely. If it is determined that the undistributed earnings of a subsidiary will be remitted in the foreseeable future, all taxes related to the remittance of such undistributed earnings are provided for in the current period as income tax expense.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Ling-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 requires recognition of impairment in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. If impairment is indicated, the carrying amount of the asset is written down to fair value. The Company has identified no such impairments.
 
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to; a history of unprofitability and the inability to fund its operations and capital requirements with free cash flow, the continued ability to obtain financing on commercially reasonable terms, operating results that are often volatile and difficult to predict, the ability to develop new products and the market’s acceptance of those products, a highly competitive marketplace, the reliance on strategic relationships as distribution channels to market products, the use of technology licensed from third parties, the potential of product defects, the commoditization of products and resulting pricing pressures, lengthy sales cycles of our utility customers, the ability to manage growth, possible disruption in commercial activities due to terrorist activity and armed conflict, delays in product development and related release schedules, the ability to protect intellectual property and the need to retain key personnel. Additionally, the Company has a significant share of a market that is presently very small, making it difficult to achieve internal growth absent a significant market expansion. Any of these factors could impair our ability to expand our operations or to generate significant revenues and cash flows from those markets in which we operate. As a result of the above and other factors, the Company’s financial condition can vary significantly from year to year.
 
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS 123(R)”), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB 25, and amends SFAS 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, recognizes no compensation cost on grants of employee stock options when the exercise price of an option is at or below the fair market value of the underlying stock. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) could have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no impact on its overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future.

(All notes in thousands of dollars, except per share data)
 
The Company expects to adopt SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006. SFAS 123(R) permits the Company to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:
 
·  
A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the January 1, 2006 adoption date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006 and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to January 1, 2006 that remain unvested on the adoption date.
 
·  
A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
 
The Company plans to adopt SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method.
 
2. Acquisitions
 
On April 7, 2003, the Company acquired from an unrelated company, Sixth Dimension, Inc. (“6D”), certain property and equipment and technological know-how (software) relating to its iNET software platform in exchange for 877,000 of its common shares (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company acquired a business including property and equipment, intellectual property, certain contracts with customers and all of 6D’s employees. In consideration of the Company’s acquisition, certain 6D investors purchased $3,750 of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. 6D is an early stage Internet-based software company, whose iNET platform enables a broad range of energy services including: upstream facility metering, monitoring, and control; performance-based operations and proactive maintenance; economic demand response and active load curtailment; aggregated distributed generation; power reliability and quality monitoring; and other real-time capital equipment analysis using a low-cost, robust, software for service delivery. The iNET platform adds to Comverge's product offering, technology for upstream monitoring and control of capital assets, by combining real-time, internet-based, data warehousing capabilities with the analytical and metering capabilities of the Company’s PowerCAMP software applications.
 
The purchase price of the acquired assets was $510, determined by an independent appraisal of the value of the Company’s common shares issued in respect of the Acquisition as of the Acquisition date. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company recorded an intangible asset, the iNET software, of $104. This asset will be amortized on a straight line basis over three years from the Acquisition date.

The inventory balance of $975 as of December 31, 2004, represents certain finished goods inventory not anticipated to be sold during the next twelve months primarily due to the necessary completion in 2005 of certain firmware to be integrated into the products. The inventory was obtained pursuant to a purchase agreement with the vendor that provides for extended payment terms (Note 7).

6. Long-Term Debt
 
On April 7, 2003, in connection with a private equity financing, the Company entered into a $6,500 credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with a major United States commercial bank. The Credit Facility consists of a three-year term loan (“Term Loan”) of $1,500 bearing interest at the prime rate and a $5,000, three year, revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”) bearing interest between prime+1.5 percent and prime+2.0 percent per annum. Initial borrowings were used to refinance certain debt. The Term Loan was secured by cash collateral in a like amount pledged by DSSI and was repaid by the Company in December 2003.

After payment of all preferential amounts, the entire remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably among the holders of its common stock.

(f) Anti-dilution Rights

During 2002, the Company repriced certain incentive stock options of ten employees. One of these employee’s options were repriced, pursuant to his employment agreement, from $4.00 to $1.20 per share. The Company also repriced certain incentive stock options of ten employees (including the aforementioned employee) who held certain anti-dilution options from $1.94 to $1.31 per share. As a result of these repricings, the options are accounted for as variable awards with a compensation charge recognized for periodic changes in the intrinsic value of the option until the award expires, is exercised, or is forfeited. No compensation charge was recognized during 2004 or 2003 related to these repriced option grants since the fair market value of the common stock was below the exercise prices. During 2004, the Company incurred $30 in deferred compensation related to option grants which will be recognized into expense over the vesting period of the awards

13. Major Customers
 
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company had two customers which accounted for 15.4% and 10.7% of the Company’s total revenue. The total accounts receivable from these customers were $256 and $129, respectively, at December 31, 2004.

14. Segment Information
 
We have two operating segments by which we evaluate our business and for which we have discrete financial information available. These operating segments are (1) Solutions sales, consisting of energy intelligence systems comprised of hardware and software sold to utilities and other customers and (2) Enterprise sales, consisting of long-term, turnkey contracts to provide capacity relief to electricity generators and transmitters. In evaluating financial performance, we focus on operating income as a measure of a segment’s profit or loss. Operating income for this purpose is income before interest, taxes and allocation of certain corporate expenses. Operating income is significant as it includes the revenue and related costs that apply to the individual segments. We do not utilize total assets as a measure of a segment’s performance. Total assets are reviewed at the enterprise level and thus are not included in our segment disclosure.
 
Capital requirements of our Enterprise segment are significant and consist of hardware devices and control equipment that allow us to provide energy capacity to our generation and transmission customers during periods of peak electricity demand.
 
The following table includes financial information for 2004 and 2003 related to our segments. The information presented below may not be indicative of results if the segments were independent organizations.

15. Related Party Transactions and Balances
 
An affiliate of DSSI charged the Company’s Israeli subsidiary, Comverge Control Systems, $138 and $138 in 2004 and 2003, respectively, in consideration of it providing office space and certain accounting and administrative services which amounts are included in general and administrative expense. Also, DSSI paid a cash bonus of $200 to an executive officer of the Company in January 2004 related to performance metrics achieved during 2003. This amount was recognized in the Company’s Statement of Operations as compensation expense in 2003. Because the Company had no obligation to reimburse DSSI for such bonus payment, it is classified on the Company’s balance sheet as a contribution to paid-in-capital. Additionally, in January of 2003, DSSI granted the Company's Chief Executive Officer a restricted stock grant of 50,000 shares of common stock of DSSI. Also, in 2003, the Company purchased $100 of computers and other equipment from an affiliate of DSSI of which $62 is recorded in property and equipment and $38 is recorded as a general and administrative expense.
 
Prior to April 2003, DSSI charged the Company $130 in consideration of certain management fees and interest on advances and loans made by DSSI to the Company and included in selling and administrative services. Such amount was classified on the Company’s balance sheet as a liability to DSSI. By agreement, in April 2003, such amount was contributed to the Company’s paid in capital (Note 11). Also by agreement, subsequent to April 2003, no management fees are payable to DSSI.
 
The Company extended loans of $10 each to both the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of DSSI. The loans had an initial maturity date of January 3, 2002, and were extended at that time to mature on January 3, 2004. The loans bear interest at 4.25 percent per annum. The balance of the loans and accrued interest at December 31, 2003 were $26. The loans were repaid in 2004.
 
The Company has 4,637 stock options outstanding and issued to an executive officer of an affiliated company.
