previously issued convertible notes, an investor has converted an aggregate of

On November 7, 2005, Solar Integrated announced that it had closed a $37 million
private placement of convertible notes. The notes mature on November 1, 2010 and
bear interest at 6.5% per annum, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, into Solar Integrated
common stock at a conversion price of $3.392 per share, subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances. The initial conversion price represented a 16% premium to
the average of the closing prices of Solar Integrated's common stock during a
10-day pricing period that yielded an average closing price per share of
£1.6395, and converted to US dollars at the then effective exchange rate. The
notes are subordinate to existing and future secured debt of the Company to the
extent of the value of the assets securing that debt. No application has been,
nor is expected to be, made for the convertible notes to be listed or quoted on
any public exchange.
