Barry Cinnamon, CEO of Akeena, stated, "With five new offices opened up in the last nine months, we are steadily expanding our footprint throughout California, which is the largest solar power market in the United States. The impact of our expansion strategy combined with favorable first quarter weather delivered strong top-line results. We generated revenue of $6.3 million this quarter, delivering over 150 percent growth compared to the first quarter last year. 2007 is progressing even better than we expected. Therefore, we now expect revenue of approximately $31 million for 2007, a growth rate of 135 percent compared to 2006."

During the quarter, we raised approximately $4.1 million of gross proceeds and used the proceeds to repay debt and to opportunistically increase inventories at a lower cost basis. In addition, we incurred $112,000 in research and development expenses, $100,000 in costs associated with financing activities and $300,000 in costs associated with opening new locations.
