Solargen is developing one of largest photovoltaic solar farms in the world to supply California with clean and renewable energy.

Technology: The project will take advantage of the advancements in photovoltaic technology to provide a solution to the growing demand for clean energy mandated by the State of California to meet the Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) for renewable energy.

Location: The project is located in an attractive, high solar energy area of Central California and is in close proximity to high-capacity PG&E power lines.

Demand: The State of California has increased its Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), the allotment of energy required to be produced from renewable sources, from 20% to 33% by 2020. The dramatic increase in allotment of renewable energy sources has created a large demand for projects that are scalable to meet significantly higher mandated demand. To speed up the process, Governor Schwarzenegger has signed an Executive Order to create a Renewable Energy Action Team (REAT) to reduce the time of project permitting.

IMO not great but we will see what they will do in 2011. And given there has been no pump here the writer of this report may have an ax to grind...some of the mentioned companies do still trade and one I looked up EPM was trading over $6.00

Solargen's energy record: 3 companies run by principals went bankrupt

Jun 22, 2010
By Marty Richman and Kollin Kosmicki





The proposed project site from plans submitted to San Benito County is shown on this map.



In addition to their lack of experience in significant solar projects, some of Solargen Energy's principal investors and key board members have had little success working together in founding or managing viable energy-related businesses, a Free Lance analysis has shown.

A review of five energy-related companies involving company principals highlights the difficulties of the industry but also could potentially raise concerns about Solargen's limited financial resources and track record with successful energy projects.

Solargen is proposing to build a 420-megawatt solar farm on nearly 5,000 acres in southern San Benito County. Its latest cost estimate was $1.2 billion and the company's plans hinge on obtaining 30 percent of the capital start-up funds from federal and state subsidies for alternative energy ventures. Solargen must get a county approval by December to get the outside funding.

As for three of its principals' prior history in the energy industry, three of the five companies examined - Blast Energy, Particle Drilling Technologies and Pacific Ethanol Holding - have been the subject of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings over the last three years. One company, AE Biofuels, has declared it might be forced to file for bankruptcy.

The fifth company, Evolution Petroleum, has a well-performing stock but lost a total of almost $6 million in the last three annual filing periods - on $12.3 million in total sales during that time - as reported on Evolution's reports.

The three principal investors involved in those prior energy companies include founder Eric McAfee, Chief Executive Officer Michael Peterson and Laird Q. Cagan.

Additionally, McAfee was the subject of a serious complaint by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. McAfee is Solargen's largest shareholder, with a 19 percent stake in the company.

Such an investment history normally would not be a focus for county government officials in considering a project approval, said Supervisor Anthony Botelho. In this case, though, he said it is "a lot more relevant," and he noted how the proposal covers a "big, wide area of the county" and would require a zone change.

"What we do control is the long-term land-use policies of that area," Botelho said. "I certainly want to make sure we do this right. We have to do it right."

Peterson, the CEO, responded to queries over principals' history in energy by underscoring how McAfee is not active in the company, defending those prior dealings and contending that funding for the solar farm is in "very good hands."

The following is a breakdown of Solargen investors' experience in the energy industry:

- Blast Energy Services, Inc. (BESV): In July, 2006, the SEC filed an anti-fraud complaint against Blast Energy Services, Inc., formerly known as Verdisys, Inc., alleging that former director McAfee "caused Verdisys to make misleading disclosures regarding its expenses and revenues," according to the litigation release on the matter. The SEC commenced a civil penalty action against McAfee in court. He consented, on a neither admit-nor-deny basis, to the entry of the SEC order. McAfee then paid a civil penalty of $25,000, according to the SEC.

Blast Energy filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2007. In early 2008, the court allowed the company to emerge from bankruptcy after securing additional funding from Clyde Berg and McAfee Capital, two parties related to the company's largest shareholder, Berg McAfee Companies.

- AE Biofuels, Inc. (AEBF): McAfee, Cagan and Peterson - all Solargen principals - and others founded AE Biofuels in 2006. According to AE Biofuels' December 2009 annual filing, there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to "continue as a going concern." AE Biofuels incurred a loss of $10.9 million in 2009 and ended the year with a negative working capital of more than $17.9 million. AE lost $25.8 million in 2008.

According to the filing: "A continued lack of liquidity from biofuel plant operations in 2010 may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and may result in our inability to continue as a going concern, and or force us to seek relief from creditors through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code."

- Particle Drilling Technologies, Inc. (PDRT): McAfee took Particle Drilling public by a reverse merger in 2005. Particle Drilling claimed to have developed a patented oil- and gas-drilling service for penetrating hard rock faster than current technologies. In May 2009, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In September 2009, the company announced that it voluntarily had stopped filing SEC documents for its common stock. The next month, the company emerged from bankruptcy with the backing of a private investor.

- Pacific Ethanol Holding (PEIX): In 2005, McAfee took Pacific Ethanol public by a reverse merger with a publicly-traded shell company and executed an alternative public offering - APO - which allowed the company access to the stock exchange. Bill Jones, former California secretary of state, was appointed director and chairman of the board.

In late 2008 and early 2009, Pacific Ethanol idled production at three of four ethanol facilities due to adverse market conditions and a lack of adequate working capital, according to a company news release. In May 2009, the holding company and each of its four plant subsidiaries, with an aggregate debt of $250.8 million, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Net losses attributed to Pacific Ethanol were $146 million in 2008 and $308 million in 2009.

In June 2010, Pacific Ethanol Holding announced that its reorganization plan had been approved by the bankruptcy court. The plan will erase about $290 million in unpaid debts while leaving its four wholly-owned plants in the hands of lenders. The company no longer owns its facilities, although it has options to repurchase.

- Evolution Petroleum (EPM): Former chairman and current director of the board, Laird Cagan is a managing director of Cagan McAfee Capital Partners, LLC (CMCP). McAfee, also a managing director of CMCP, currently owns or controls, directly or indirectly, about 4.7 million shares or around 18 percent of outstanding common stock, according to Evolution's financials. But he is "neither an officer, employee nor a member of our board of directors," according to Evolution's annual report.

The report goes on to say EPM is a thinly-held stock. Over three years - 2007 to 2009 - Evolution Petroleum's stock did well although the company's net annual losses during that period, with around $12 million in revenue in that time frame, totaled close to $6 million.

CEO explains history

In explaining the history of Solargen's principals, Peterson's initial response was to stress how McAfee is "not that involved in the company" - to the point where he has "never been to meetings" for Solargen. But Peterson also defended the record of those other companies, such as pointing out how Pacific Ethanol for a time was a "leader in the industry."

"Mr. McAfee is not an executive board member (of Solargen). He sits on the board," said Peterson, when asked about the bankruptcies of Blast, Particle Drilling and Pacific Ethanol Holding, and the SEC fine involving Blast. "He's not involved in the day-to-day anything with this company. His activities in other companies are not germane to what Solargen is doing. The funding of the company is in very good hands."

Peterson went on to express confidence in Solargen's ability to build liquidity, noting how "these types of things get funded sequentially."

"A lot of people want to invest in this project," said Peterson, adding how it doesn't make sense to move ahead with a lot those transactions this early in the process. "That's just the way it is. We're creating value. I have many investors who want to invest. They're lined up at the door to invest."

Many of those financiers could come from overseas, though. As Peterson acknowledged last month, he had been visiting Asian countries to solicit investors through the EB-5 federal visa program. It allows foreign financiers and their families an opportunity for green cards and permanent residency by investing at least $500,000 toward development of jobs in designated high-unemployment areas such as San Benito County.

Peterson responded more specifically to the bankruptcies.

Regarding Pacific Ethanol, he mentioned how the "industry went bad" and noted that the governor's office had approached McAfee "to help restart those" plants.

"If it points out ethanol went bankrupt," Peterson said, about this story, "that's like saying Henry Ford was a failure. Ford actually had a lot of financial troubles last year."

Regarding Evolution Petroleum, he called it "very successful," saying it had traded at nearly $6 per share and it was worth almost $200 million.

Blast Energy "did declare" bankruptcy, he acknowledged, but attributed it to a group that had illegally purchased a service contract. He said Blast later won a lawsuit against the firm.

For Particle Drilling Technologies, Peterson said it started with $20 million from Goldman Sachs and he cited a "technology-oil-drilling issue" in spurring its financial problems.

Overall, Peterson said McAfee has founded more than 25 companies and that he has been "successful on all of them except for those couple you mentioned there."

Still, Peterson insisted: "He's not that involved in the company. He's one of the founders. He hasn't been to Hollister. He's never been to meetings. From time to time, I just kind of tell him what's going on."

Even if McAfee does not attend meetings, he does have a stake in several "related party transactions," as detailed in Solargen's latest quarterly report.

The following are Solargen's related party transactions with McAfee connections, as listed in the annual report.

- Solargen is billed by McAfee Capital - wholly owned by Eric McAfee - for expense reimbursements, mostly for paralegal and administrative personnel. Solargen has paid McAfee Capital a total of $219,043.

- CM Consulting bills Solargen for use of its charter airplane service. Since inception, Solargen paid the company $20,725. McAfee owns 50 percent of CM Consulting.

- As a Solargen board member, McAfee receives $10,000 per month, or a $120,000 salary.

- Solargen has been billed $14,233 by Cagan McAfee Capital Partners for expense reimbursements, for services from McAfee and "his administrative personnel."

- In July 2009, Solargen started leasing $3,000 square feet of office space from AE Biofuels. It is a non-cancellable lease through 2012, and Solargen is set to owe AE Biofuels - which has had liquidity problems of its own - a total of $185,600 though the life of the agreement.

Solargen Energy Achieves Major Milestone in Developing Its 399 Megawatt Photovoltaic Solar Power Facility
CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct 13, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Solargen Energy, Inc. /quotes/comstock/11i!slge (SLGE 0.00, 0.00, 0.00%) , a California based solar power developer ("Solargen"), today announced that the San Benito County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to certify the environmental impact report ("EIR") for Solargen's 399 megawatt photovoltaic solar energy generating facility proposed for the Panoche Valley, located in southeastern San Benito County. This certification of the EIR brings San Benito County in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). CEQA establishes a formal and rigorous process for assessing and mitigating the environmental, economic and social impacts of land-use projects in California. Tuesday's vote by the Board of Supervisors will be followed by the Planning Commission's consideration of Solargen's Conditional Use Permit.

By completing the CEQA process with a certified 1,000 plus page EIR, San Benito County has completed a detailed environmental analysis that included more than 18 months of biological studies and a series of environmental enhancements, which Solargen will complete as part of the solar project. As part of these mitigation measures Solargen, whose project encompasses approximately 3,200 acres, intends to set aside an additional 23,000 acres of land for permanent conservation purposes. This mitigation land includes significant acreage, which is specifically targeted as a priority in the recovery plan for upland species of the San Joaquin Valley.

"We're excited that this project will not only provide California with clean renewable energy, but it will also set aside nearly 23,000 acres of mitigation land that will be instrumental to the preservation of the key species here in the uplands of the San Joaquin Valley," said Michael Peterson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Solargen Energy, Inc. "We have been able to obtain valuable mitigation land targeted by the resource agencies that, without this project, would probably have never been attainable. With our plan of improving and managing this land, we believe this project will provide a great and long lasting benefit to the environment."

"This is a major milestone for the development of responsible renewable energy projects in California," said Reb Monaco, Chairman of the San Benito County Board of Supervisors. "With this action San Benito County has established a leadership role in California's solar energy future," he continued. Solargen plans to begin construction before the end of the year in order to comply with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 application deadline. This certified EIR allows Solargen to complete various state and federal permits before year end.

CURRENT REPORT
DECEMBER 2, 2010
The information set forth below follows guidelines for providing adequate current information; as
amended, outlined by Pinksheet OTC Markets, Inc., and generally follows the sequential format set
forth in those rules. THIS CURRENT REPORT HAS NOT BEEN FILED WITH THE SEC OR
ANY OTHER REGULATORY AGENY.
This Current Report contains certain forward looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including or related to our future results, events and performance
(including certain projections, business trends and assumptions on future financings), and our
expected future operations and actions. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements
by the use of words such as β€œmay,” β€œshould,” β€œplan,” β€œfuture,” β€œintend,” β€œcould,” β€œestimate,”
β€œpredict,” β€œhope,” β€œpotential,” β€œcontinue,” β€œbelieve,” β€œexpect” or β€œanticipate” or the negative of these
terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements generally relate to our plans and
objectives for future operations and are based upon management’s reasonable estimates of future
results or trends. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider the risks that the
anticipated outcome is subject to, including the factors discussed under "RISK FACTORS" detailed
in our Annual Report and Quarterly Reports previously filed with the OTC Disclosure and News
Service under our Company page at <http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/SLGE>.
Item 4. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangement of an Issuer.
The California Independent System Operator Corporation (β€œCAISO”) has approved
Solargen’s Phase I Interconnection Request (β€œInterconnection Request”) for Solargen’s proposed 400
MW Panoche Valley Solar Farm Project (β€œProject”). CASIO’s approval of a maximum permitted net
output to the CAISO controlled-grid at 400 MW permits Solargen’s Project to be interconnected to
the Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (β€œPG&E’s”) 230 kV lines with a proposed commercial
operation date of the Project by December 15, 2013.
The approval of the Interconnection Request represents a major milestone in the development
of Solargen’s Project. In accordance with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved Large
Generator Interconnection Procedures (LGIP) for Interconnection Requests, certain electrical system
reinforcements are necessary to mitigate the potential adverse impacts on the PG&E power grid
caused by the Project and other projects included in the phase cluster study under various system
conditions. CAISO’s current estimated maximum costs associated with mitigating these adverse
impacts and upgrading the PG&E electrical power grid to accommodate Solargen’s 400 MW Project
are currently projected at approximately $165 million. Through a negotiation process and
adjustments made in all the projects within the cluster, these costs could be reduced, even
substantially, and will be finalized at the conclusion of the Phase 2 study. These transmission system
upgrade costs are ultimately borne by PG&E. However, Solargen must provide a posting of a
financial security for network upgrades (β€œInterconnection Financial Security”) prior to the start of
construction as part of the application process. The Interconnection Financial Security can come in
the form of a letter of credit or parent company guarantee. Any financing required to upgrade the
system will be reimbursed under contract by PG&E upon commercial operation of the Project.
The Interconnection Financial Security is required to be issued by Solargen to PG&E at three
times during the application process. The first letter of credit in the amount of approximately $7.5
million is due on February 20, 2011. The remaining Interconnection Financial Security will be due in
3
January 2012 and prior to the start of construction activities for the network upgrades in letters of
credit currently estimated at approximately $50 million and $107 million, respectively. Though the
Phase I estimates typically represent the maximum cost, the aggregate amount of the Interconnection
Financial Security for network upgrades costs may increase or decrease depending on the results of
the Phase II report from CASIO, which is expected in July 2011. The failure by Solargen to timely
post the Interconnection Financial Security required by PG&E would result in Solargen’s
Interconnection Request being removed from the application process. In the event of removal from
the current Interconnection Request, Solargen would have to resubmit an Interconnection Request to
CASIO for access to the PG&E power grid. There can be no guarantee that if Solargen were to
resubmit the Interconnection Request, that there would be sufficient capacity without additional
upgrades to the PG&E power grid. Solargen is soliciting financial partnerships with investors to assist
in providing the necessary financial security to continue in the LGIP Interconnect Request process.
Certification.
I, Michael L. Peterson, certify that:
1. I have reviewed this Current Report of Solargen Energy, Inc.; and
2. Based on my knowledge, this disclosure statement does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light
of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
the period covered by this disclosure statement.

to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which any such statement is made or to reflect
the occurrence of unanticipated events.
A. Plan of Operation
Solargen Energy, Inc. (β€œthe Company”) is a development stage solar power developer focused on
the development, acquisition, construction and operation of next-generation photovoltaic utilityscale
solar energy farms. We have been financed through the raising of equity capital and
anticipate that we will operate at a loss for some time. Currently we only have enough capital to
meet our needs through December 2010. For the foreseeable future, we expect to rely on funds
raised from debt and equity to provide our general operating capital, cover expenses of officers,
directors and consultants, acquire options on land for large scale solar farms, engage in feasibility
studies on solar farm locations, secure relationships with different suppliers of selected thin film
technologies, and to finance our solar projects. We currently have no binding commitments for
external or internal sources of additional liquidity. Our anticipated cash expenditures for 2010
are estimated at approximately $9.7 million for operations, under the Company’s current plan to
begin construction of the first 20 mega watt (MW) phase of a planned nominal capacity 399 MW
utility-scale solar farm in Panoche Valley, California. These anticipated expenditures are subject
to change, depending on the results of permitting and environmental assessments related to our
solar projects, financial liquidity, governmental regulation and approval, market prices for power,
and other risk factors detailed herein.
5
Our plan is to develop, operate, and sell environmentally clean electricity to utility, municipal and
commercial enterprises. Following the business model of utility companies, we intend to develop,
own and operate large-scale solar farms as a Solar Independent Power Producer (SIPP)
throughout the United States. We anticipate using leading edge photovoltaic technology to lower
the levelized cost of energy compared to other SIPPs. Solargen has identified markets where
government mandates and incentives create superior opportunities. Currently the United States
Government offers a 30% investment tax credit (β€œITC”) for renewable energy projects that meet
certain requirements. For projects completing five percent of construction or five percent β€œplaced
in service” by December 2010, the United States Federal Government has past legislations
mandated under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to pay the ITC as a 30 percent
cash rebate on capital expenditures for renewable energy projects which meet the program’s
criteria. States such as California offer rebates and tax incentives for projects within their borders.
Our management believes building utility scale solar farms is necessary in order to meet the
Renewable Portfolio Standards set by the State of California. Utility scale solar farms will
provide the necessary production volume to drive solar technology improvement to help reduce
costs making solar more affordable to both commercial and residential users. The Company has
acquired control over significant acres of land in San Benito County, California. Substantial
progress has been made toward securing the necessary environmental, construction and
interconnect permits to break ground in the near term.
There are four phases involved in the development of a utility-scale solar farm:
Phase I - Site Control: Identification and securing developable land that has high solar
intensity, access to power lines and is near major population
centers
Phase II - Permitting: Carrying out the development work and obtaining the approvals
necessary to build an energy generation facility, connect to the
energy grid, and define off-take agreements
Phase III – PPA/Supply: Entering into panel supply and power purchase agreements
(PPA) in order to secure the necessary PV solar panels, balance
of systems components, engineering, construction and financing
for the project
Phase IV - Deployment: Large scale construction and interconnect of the solar farm to
transmission lines through substation transformers.
Site Control
Site control has been secured through options to purchase land. Our strategy is to select
previously disturbed, privately owned grazing land where environmental impacts can be
mitigated, land costs are reasonable and connection points to transmissions lines are in close
proximity. Our strategy is to pursue environmentally impacted land, such as farm and grazing
land and reduce potential disruption of natural habitat. As of September 30, 2010, we have
secured binding purchase options on 18,806 acres of farm and ranch land in Central California,
considered sufficient acreage to build a solar farm capable of producing up to an estimated 399
MW of electricity to the power grid when fully deployed. A significant portion of the optioned
land has been identified as potential set aside land for environmental mitigation. In addition, we
have an option to purchase an environmental easement on 10,864 additional acres that are
adjacent to the project site.
6
Permitting
Permitting for solar installation in the United States is a detailed process involving land use,
building, and environmental compliance. Permitting processes are regulated with an estimated
average permitting duration of 12 to 24 months. We have already performed spring, summer, fall
and winter environmental surveys and a one-year long environmental study has been completed
to mitigate potential effects on local species. In our discussions with the California Department of
Fish and Game (CDFG), the regulatory agency expressed its initial support for using some
portion of land under our control for environmental mitigation. On June 28, 2010 San Benito
County made publically available the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for our project.
On October 12, 2010 the San Benito County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to certify
the final environmental impact report (β€œEIR”) for our 399 megawatt photovoltaic solar energy
generating facility proposed for the Panoche Valley, which is located in southeastern San Benito
County. This certification of the EIR brings San Benito County in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (β€œCEQA”). On October 20, 2010 the San Benito County Planning
Commission held a public hearing and unanimously approved our Conditional Use Permit for the
project. We are pursuing additional required permits for construction of the Panoche Valley
required at the local, state and federal level.
Power Purchase Agreements
The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a contract negotiated with a utility or commercial
customer for the sale of electricity. The agreements typically last for 20 or more years with
pricing schemes that include an annual percentage escalation on the price of energy. The process
of securing a PPA with a major utility can be time consuming, costly, and can take anywhere
from six months to 3 years. We intend to enter a bid into the next PG&E and Southern California
Edison request for offer (β€œRFO”) PPA solicitation, which we anticipate will be in the first quarter
of 2011.
As part of our back up plan, we intend to negotiate contracts with California’s Investor Owned
Utilities (IOUs) and to seek favorable off-take agreements with Municipal Utilities and rural
irrigation districts. Due to public policy goals from state and local governments, in most cases,
utilities are willing to pay a higher rate for electricity generated from renewable sources than
traditional hydrocarbon-based power generation sources. A completed and legally binding, longterm
off-take agreement, or power purchase agreement, is typically necessary to attract any
substantial amount of project financing, debt, or tax-equity investor to the project. Solargen
believes that such an off-take agreement and financing can be obtained; however, we can provide
no assurances that such off-take agreements and financing can be obtained in a timely fashion, at
an acceptable price, or at all.
Supply Agreements
Securing solar panels is necessary for permitting and project financing. We have a panel supply
agreement with NexPower to provide 50% of the panels for the project based on price and finance
ability of the panels, as well as non-binding letters of intent with leading solar panel
manufacturers to secure additional supply.
We are also seeking agreements with other major suppliers of inverters, racking, tracking and
balance of system providers.
7
Project Financing
Long-term solar off-take agreements require proven technology and credit-worthy manufacturers
and engineering, procurement and construction (β€œEPC”) contractors to guarantee the quality of
their work. We believe that our projects will have low technology risk because we intend to
procure panels, inverters and other materials from reputable manufacturers who are well known
to financial institutions and have proven to be financeable. The financial strength of our suppliers
may be even more important than their being the lowest cost provider. Our management intends
to require our panel suppliers to provide price and performance guarantees, which we believe will
help mitigate technology risk as well as lower financing risk and costs. We also will seek to
select an EPC who can provide necessary guarantees and bonding during the building and
operation of the solar facility. We believe that such guarantees from credit-worthy suppliers and
EPC will enable us to finance a large percentage of the total project costs through outside project
equity, tax-equity and bank construction debt. Also, if we are successful in meeting the current
requirements for the 30% investment tax credit and cash grant, our project would be even more
attractive to third party investors and institutional investors who specialize in such financings.
We also believe our projects may also qualify for the US Department of Energy and other loan
guarantee programs, which, if available, could further reduce our cost of debt.
Deployment & Operation
Solargen is in the process of selecting an EPC contracting firm. It is expected that this project
EPC will bid the construction and deployment of the project and carry out the early operations of
the facility. Once the facility is built, Solargen will take over the operations and maintenance
(β€œO&M”) either through direct hire or by contracting with an O&M firm.
It is expected that union labor will be used in the project, which could increase the cost of the
installation. We have committed to a goal of 100% local labor from San Benito County. We will
work closely with the local IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) and our EPC
contractor to strive to accomplish this goal where ever possible.
C. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
As of this date, there are no β€œOff-Balance Sheet” Arrangements. The Company has not entered
into any definitive agreement that is unconditionally binding or subject to customary closing
conditions that would create β€œoff-balance sheet” arrangements in the future.
Item 5 Legal Proceedings
We are unaware of any current, past, pending or threatened legal proceedings or administrative
actions either by or against us that could have a material effect on our business, financial
condition, or operations and any current, past or pending trading suspensions by a securities
regulator.
Item 6 Defaults upon senior securities.
We are not in default of the terms of any note, loan, lease, or other indebtedness or financing
arrangement requiring the issuer to make payments.

1. Nature of Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Nature of Activities. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Solargen Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation and its
subsidiaries, Solargen Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Solargen Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. We are in the business
of developing, owning and operating large-scale solar farms as a Solar Independent Power Producer. We are currently developing a solar
farm on approximately 4,717 acres in Panoche Valley, California with options to purchase approximately 18,806 acres of land for solar
development and environmental mitigation and an easement on an additional 10,864 acres.
Business Background. Solargen Energy, Inc. is a Nevada corporation formerly known as TMEX USA, Inc, and originally incorporated on
July 20, 1987 as β€œSwiss Cellular Laboratories, Inc.” TMEX USA, Inc. merged with Solargen Energy, Inc., a private development stage
solar company on February 18, 2009. Around the time of the merger TMEX USA, Inc. amended its articles of incorporation, changed its
name to β€œSolargen Energy, Inc.,” changed its trading symbol to SLGE.PK, and effectuated a reverse stock split on a 2,001:1 basis.
Development Stage Enterprise. We prepare our statements in accordance with the Development Stage Enterprise guidance as specified in
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (β€œASC”) 915.
Principles of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our parent company and its
subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows
are unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the 2009 annual financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2009. Except as noted below, the
significant accounting policies remain unchanged since December 31, 2009.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Pinksheets market
exchange. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared on the same basis as the unaudited consolidated statements as of December 31, 2009
and reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of its statement of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any subsequent quarter, for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, net of shares subject to repurchase. Diluted loss per share reflects
the dilution of common stock equivalents such as convertible preferred stock and warrants to the extent the impact is dilutive. As we
incurred net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from inception date on October 4,
2006 through September 30, 2010, all potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the diluted net loss per share computations,
as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurement. Fair value, as defined in ASC Topic 820-10, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect
its highest and best use by market participants, whether an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should
reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, our credit risk.
Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach, the income approach, and the cost approach. The
selection and application of one or more of the techniques requires significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the
characteristics of the asset or liability, the principal (or most advantageous) market in which participants would transact for the asset or
liability and the quality and availability of inputs. Inputs to valuation techniques are classified as either observable or unobservable within
the following hierarchy:
Level 1 Inputs
These inputs come from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs
These inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable, for an asset or liability. This includes: quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable
market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs
These are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which require our own assumptions. As required by ASC Topic 820-10, financial
assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of
the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of
assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Our only financial asset carried at fair value is cash held in
a commercial bank accounts with short-term maturities. We consider the statements we receive from the bank as a quoted price (Level 1
measurement) for cash and measure the fair value of this asset using the bank statements. Both the carrying amount and the fair market
value (Level 1) at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $36,671 and $1,035,868, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material
effect on the accompanying financial statements.
2. Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have experienced net losses since inception of $9,422,078 and net cash
used in operations since inception of $7,539,278. Our activities are developmental in nature, and as such, we have yet to generate any
revenues. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern
and carry out our business plan is dependent on several factors, including the ability to raise a significant amount of capital for project
development, capital expenditures, and operating expenses. We need to raise significantly more capital and secure a significant amount of
debt to complete our business plan and continue as a going concern.
Management believes that it will be able to raise additional capital through equity offerings and debt financings to construct and operate
our next generation utility-scale solar project.
3. Equipment.
Equipment consists of the following:

December 31,
2009
Equipment $ 26,176 $ 26,176
Less accumulated depreciation (11,634 ) (5,090 )
Total net equipment $ 14,542 $ 21,086
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded $2,181, and $6,544, respectively, in depreciation. For the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the period from October 4, 2006 (date of inception) through September 30, 2010, we
recorded $1,583, $527 and $9,452, respectively, in depreciation.
4. Land Options.
We have acquired options to purchase 18,806 acres of land in Central California and options to purchase an easement on an additional
10,864 acres. The terms of these options are typically from two years to four years and provide us the right to acquire the land at a set
price per acre subject to the satisfaction, in our sole discretion, of our due diligence. Future payments under options granting the right to
acquire land at September 30, 2010 are as follows:
Option
Payments
2010 $ 65,000
2011 485,000
2012 300,000
Total $ 850,000
The aggregate purchase price of land currently under this option, if all options are exercised, is $26,054,200. We are currently evaluating
each site as to the adequacy of zoning, environmental remediation, permits, solar suitability and the like and the exercise of any option
will depend upon the results of our analysis and other factors.

5. Convertible Promissory Notes.
During the months of March 2010 through June 2010, we issued convertible promissory notes in the amount of $1,109,960 with interest at
the rate of 6% per annum and maturity dates of 90 days from the date of note issuance. On June 25, 2010, the convertible promissory
notes and accrued interest of $11,579 were converted to 1,121,539 shares of Series B preferred stock at a conversion price equal to the
price per share paid by Series B investors.
6. Operating Leases.
In July 2009, we entered into a non-cancelable operating lease with AE Biofuels, Inc. for approximately 3,000 square feet of office space
in Cupertino, California. This lease expires May 31, 2012 and requires payment of lease plus our share of operating expenses. We record
rent expense on a straight-line basis. Future minimum operating lease payments as of September 30, 2010 are as follows:
Rental
Payments
2010 $ 21,418
2011 85,670
2012 35,696
Total $ 142,784
For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we recorded rent expense of $22,617 and $20,805, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from October 4, 2006 (date of inception) through September 30, 2010, we
recorded rent expense of $65,828, $20,805 and $107,040, respectively. See Note 12 Related Party Transactions.
7. Commitments and Contingencies.
Solargen Energy, Inc. assumed delinquent payroll tax liabilities for the periods from March 31, 2001 to December 1, 2001 when it merged
with TMEX USA in February 2009. The IRS and State of California Employment Development Department liens were placed prior to
TMEX USA’s bankruptcy. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we have recorded the tax liability reported to us by the
governing taxing authorities along with the accrued interest and penalties in the amount of $146,438 and $140,027, respectively. The
liability was initially recognized in October 2006 in the amount of $113,050. A settlement has been proposed and rejected by the IRS.
This tax matter is currently on appeal with the IRS.

Convertible Preferred Stock
On June 25, 2010, after obtaining the requisite board and stockholder approval, the Company filed its Third Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada. The Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the β€œAmended Articles”),
among other things, authorized us to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, in one or more classes or series
within a class upon authority of the board without further stockholder approval, including (a) 5,000,000 designated shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value, (b) 10,000,000 designated shares of Series B Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value, (c) 10,000,000
designated shares of Series C Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value, and 75,000,000 remaining undesignated authorized shares of preferred
stock ("Undesignated Preferred Stock") (collectively, the Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock and the Undesignated Preferred
Stock shall be collectively referred as the β€œPreferred Stock”).
From June 25, 2010 to September 30, 2010 Solargen Energy, Inc. issued 4,416,539 shares of Series B Preferred stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $4,416,538, which consisted of $3,295,000 in cash and $1,121,538 from the conversion of promissory notes and
associated accrued interest on notes. From October 1, 2010 to November 15, 2010, Solargen Energy, Inc. raised $483,461 in gross cash
proceeds before selling expenses by issuing 483,461 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to accredited investors at $1.00 per share. In
connection therewith, from June 25, 2010 to November 15, 2010 Solargen Energy, Inc. issued to the same investors 4,900,010 Series B
Preferred Stock warrants with a five-year term exercisable at $1.00 per share. See Note 14 Subsequent Events. These shares and warrants
and stock convertible thereunder all bear a restricted legend.
Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Amended Articles, the rights, preferences, and limitations of the Preferred Stock and Common
Stock are summarized as follows:
Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock, pari-pasu with other series of Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of Common Stock
an amount equal to one times (1x) the Series A Preferred Original Purchase Price ($1.00), plus any dividends accrued but unpaid
on the Preferred Stock. In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock,
pari-pasu with other series of Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of Common Stock an
amount equal to two times (2x) the Series B Preferred Original Purchase Price ($1.00), plus any dividends accrued but unpaid on
the Preferred Stock. In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, paripasu
with other series of Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of Common Stock an amount
equal to one times (1x) the Series C Preferred Original Purchase Price ($3.00), respectively, plus any dividends accrued but
unpaid on the Preferred Stock. After full payment of the liquidation preference under a liquidation or winding up of the
Company, any remaining proceeds shall be paid to the holders of Common Stock.
Qualified Sale. In the event that the holders of two-thirds of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (voting together) so
elect by a written consent, the voluntary sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer of a majority of the assets of the
Corporation on a consolidated basis, or of a majority of the assets of any subsidiary of the Corporation, or a consolidation or
merger of the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation, with one or more other corporations or other entities (where, as
the result of such merger or consolidation, the stockholders of the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation, shall own
less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving corporation), shall be deemed to be a β€œQualified Sale.” Upon a β€œQualified
Sale,” the holders of Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a distribution on each share of
Series A or Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then held by them equal to the Liquidation Preference for such share of Series
A or Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. In such event, the Series A and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be paid
their Liquidation Preference of their proportionate share on a pari-pasu basis.
Dividends. Annual 5% non-cumulative dividends on Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock, payable when, as and if
declared by the Board, and prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of dividends on other shares of capital stock.
Payment of any dividends to the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be on a pro rata, pari-passu basis in proportion to the
dividend rates for each series of Preferred Stock. For any other dividends or similar distributions, Preferred Stock participates
with Common Stock on an as-converted basis.
Voting Rights. The Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock will vote together with the Common Stock and not as a
separate class, except as specifically provided or as otherwise required by law. Each share of Series A, Series B, and Series C
Preferred Stock shall have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of
such share of Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock.
Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company
shall not without first obtaining the approval (by written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least two-thirds of the
then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a class: (i) authorize a total liquidation, dissolution, winding up,

number of authorized shares of Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock; (iv) effect an exchange, or create a right of
exchange, of all or part of the shares of another class of shares into shares of Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock; or
(v) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock so as to
affect adversely the shares of such series, including the conversion rate.
Optional Conversion. The holders of the Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert their
shares of Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock, at any time, into shares of Common Stock at the then effective
conversion rate. The conversion rate of the Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock is one share of Common Stock
shares for each share of Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock, respectively, subject to adjustment as provided in the
Amended Articles.
Mandatory Conversion. Each share of Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted to

holders of the majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock elect to consummate an automatic conversion.
Additionally, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted to Common Stock, if the Liquidation
Preference of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock has been paid in full pursuant to one or more Qualified Sales.
Adjustments. The conversion rate of the Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock will be adjusted in the event of any
subdivisions or combinations of the Company’s Common Stock. The applicable Dividend Rate, Original Issue Price and
Liquidation Preference of the Preferred Stock will be adjusted for any subdivisions or combinations of the Company’s Preferred
Stock.

Company under the Stockholders Agreement referenced above.

provided however, that each share of Series A Preferred Stock (but not less than all) shall be considered automatically redeemed
and cancelled upon the full payment of the Liquidation Preference to all outstanding holders of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant
to one or more Qualified Sales.).
Undesignated Preferred. The Undesignated Preferred stock was authorized without additional description or details and may be
amended by the Board of Directors. There are no dividends, voting, conversion, or liquidation rights of the Undesignated
Preferred Stock at this time.

In June, September and October, 2009, we issued warrants to purchase 60,000 shares of Common Stock to placement agents at an exercise
price of $1.00 per share exercisable for a period of seven years from the date of issuance with provisions for immediate vesting, net
exercise and transferability. We recorded issuance costs against Series A Preferred Stock for the year ended December 31, 2009 in the
amount of $15,701 for the fair value of these warrants. This charge was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model and the
assumptions stated above.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the placement agents exercised warrants to purchase 0, and 7,076 shares,
respectively, of common stock issued in connection with sales of our Series A Preferred Stock. No warrants were issued to the placement
agent prior to September 30, 2009.
In May 2009 we issued warrants to purchase 85,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with services provided under advisor
agreements at an exercise price of $1.00 per share exercisable for a period of seven years from the date of issuance. We recorded an
expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $26,850 for the value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton model using
assumptions stated above.
In August 2009 we issued warrants to purchase 1,480,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to an investor in connection with an
investment made by this investor. The warrants were issued at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and were exercisable for a period of
two years from the date of issuance. On December 31, 2009 and February 24, 2010, this investor exercised 1,000,000 and 480,000,
respectively, of these warrants.
In June 2010 we issued warrants to purchase 4,121,539 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and in September 2010 we issued warrants to
purchase an additional 295,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to investors in connection with their investment in Series B Preferred
Stock. The warrants were issued at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and were exercisable for a period of five years from the date of
issuance.
The warrants issued provide the holder with the right to purchase restricted shares of our stock for a period of either five or seven years.
The restrictions lapse once we register the shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Thereafter, the shares may trade
according to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

subject to approval by the Board of Directors. Stock options generally expire ten years from the date of grant and are exercisable at any
time after the date of the grant, subject to vesting. Shares issued upon early exercise are subject to a right of repurchase, which lapses
according to the vesting schedule of the original option. Exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair value of shares on the date
of grant. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, stock options were issued with vesting terms of 1 or 4 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value of the shares outstanding at December 31, 2009 was $8,559,500. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the
total pretax intrinsic value, based on the excess of our closing OTC market stock price at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 of
$10.01, over the option holders’ strike price, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their
options as of that date. The intrinsic value based on the excess of fair value of our stock, as determined by independent common stock
valuation, over stock option strike price at September 30, 2010 and December 30, 2010 was zero. Included in stock compensation
expense during the three months ended September 30, 2010 is $121 related to 286,213 stock options issued to non-employees.
We incurred non-cash stock based compensation expense of $50,876 and $102,472 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2010, for options granted to our general and administrative employees, a director and a consultant. All stock option expense was classified
as general and administrative expense.
As of September 30, 2010, we had $391,312 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. These costs are expected
to be recognized over the next four years.
Restricted Stock Awards
On December 1, 2008 and January 15, 2009, we issued to employees 1,050,000 shares of common stock at $0.0001 per share and to
consultants 120,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share under restricted stock purchase agreements. These shares were issued as
an incentive to retain key consultants, employees and officers and ratably vest over three years on a monthly basis. Restricted stock
awards are valued using the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. We recognize compensation expense on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The remaining unvested shares are subject to repurchase and restrictions
on sale, or transfer, up until the vesting date. Unvested shares are included in diluted net loss per share calculations.

11. Deficit Accumulated During the Development Stage (Quasi-reorganization October 31, 2006).
In recognition of the change in ownership of TMEX USA, and the restructuring of operations to pursue a new business plan, TMEX USA
instituted a quasi-reorganization effective October 31, 2006. Accordingly, all assets, of which there were none, and accumulated deficit
were retroactively restated to zero dollars as of October 31, 2006. As a result, we offset the negative accumulated deficit arising from
TMEX USA’s operations prior to exiting bankruptcy against the paid-in capital account. Certain acquired tax liabilities were stated at fair
value with estimates for accrued interest and penalties. As a result of the quasi reorganization, the deficit accumulating during the
development stage of Solargen Energy, Inc. contains only operating results from Solargen Energy, Inc. private, for the years 2006, 2007
and 2008. As a result of the TMEX USA quasi-reorganization, only results from Solargen Energy Inc. private appear in inception to date
calculations beginning October 4, 2006. β€œInception” in titles refers to the beginning of Solargen Energy Inc. private operations and not
TMEX USA operations prior to October 31, 2006. TMEX USA expenditures from December 2003 to October 31, 2006 were reclassified
to additional paid-in capital.

When I picked up 500 shares for .085 just after the RS and sold them for $10.50 I thought I was doing well. But after talking to managment and learning there are only 100k shares in the float and seeing that crazy ask I am now wondering if holding the 500 shares would not have been the better move.
I guess when shares start to sell in about a year I will know if I did right or not, still a bird in the hand...

Bid is @.15 ask @1,987. Looks like with such a low float the Company is not ready to trade unless you hit the ask (:>)
I thought I did well after the RS I picked-up 500 shares at .085 and sold them a week later for the 10.50. The 1,987 looks good, maybe I should have held more than the 2 shares I have left but it may be a long time before they get their permits in hand and who knows what their value may be then.

SLGE may not be worth 10.50 a share as the R/S conversion would indicate, but that is the past. I am waiting to see what SLGE will be worth and play it for what it is worth.

Introduction – Solargen Energy, Inc.
Solargen Energy was formed to develop, own and
operate large-scale solar farms as a Solar Independent
Power Producer (SIPP). Technical innovations,
government incentives, and long-term utility off-take
agreements mandated by the government are key
drivers which are creating a “Rate Parity” opportunity
to SIPPs, where the price of solar power is less than the
effective utility rate tariff provided for renewable
energy projects.
Investment Highlights
• Industry - $33.4 billion solar industry in 2008, growing at 40% per year
• Incentives - Substantial government support and incentives
• Profitable - Cost of solar power has reached commercial viability and continues to improve
• Management - Extensive entrepreneurial and operational expertise in the alternative energy
industry, project finance and large debt/equity deal structures
• Project - Largest announced thin-film PV solar farm project
• Location - Project is located on 1,000 acres in Central Valley under existing power lines
• Free Energy Source - Unlike other renewable energy projects, our source of energy is free and
unlimited and it happens during the peak electricity usage times.
• Off-Take Agreements - Our output will be under long-term, escalating off-take power purchase
agreements (PPA) lasting 20+ years with large utility companies.
Solargen’s First announced Project – Panoche Ranch Solar Farm
Solargen is creating the world’s largest photovoltaic solar farm on 1,000 acres located in Central
California under high-capacity power lines. Solargen is developing projects that plan to generate
1,500 megawatts (1.5 gigawatts) of clean solar energy (approximately the production capacity of one
nuclear reactor). The projects are expected to generate $15 billion in revenue at a 30% profit margin
over 25 years. Phase 1 is
planned at 250 MW.
The physical location is in a
micro-climate area which the
National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL) confirms
to have high solar radiation
and attractive conditions for
photovoltaics. The California
electrical grid backbone
connecting Southern California
and the Northwest runs
directly over the property.

That's usually the "placeholder" price. Most stocks that aren't really trading usually have atleast 1 MM at around $2000. It keeps it "open to trade", but nobody would ever pay that amount.
