April 27, 2018 To the Stockholder Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. Bellingham, Washington Independent Auditors' Report We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Alpha Technologies Services, Inc., which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholder's equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Alpha Innovations Indústria E Comércio De Produtos Electrônicos Ltda., a wholly owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets of $4,721,441 and $3,530,968 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and total revenues of $6,141,251 and $5,012,956, respectively, for the years then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Alpha Innovations Indústria E Comércio De Produtos Electrônicos Ltda., is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audits 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 consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. Page 2 We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Auditors' Report on the Financial Statement of Alpha Innovations Indústria E Comércio De Produtos Electrônicos Ltda. The opinion of the other auditors on the 2017 and 2016 financial statements of Alpha Innovations Indústria E Comércio De Produtos Electrônicos Ltda. was qualified because Alpha Innovations Indústria E Comércio De Produtos Electrônicos Ltda. has excluded the calculation of transfer pricing for transactions with foreign related parties, the evaluation of tax, labor and social security processes from previous years, and the compensation of management personnel by the company. However, in our opinion, the effects of excluding such matters are not material in relation to the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, our opinion on the consolidated financial statements is not modified with respect to these matters. Berntson Porter & Company, PLLC Certified Public Accountants

Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (collectively "the company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 and 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. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Additionally, the company maintains money market accounts which are not insured. The company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. The company grants credit to its customers, some of which are located in foreign markets. Such receivables are generally unsecured. CASH MANAGEMENT The company reduces its cash balance when checks are disbursed. Due to the time delay in checks clearing the bank, the company may maintain a negative cash balance on its books, which is reported as a liability in the accompanying financial statements. Checks issued in excess of bank balance includes $950,032 and $600,270 of checks not yet presented for payment drawn in excess of cash balances at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. INVENTORY The company adopted the provisions of FASB ASU 2015‐11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The provisions of ASU 2015‐11 require inventory, for which cost is measured using a method other than the LIFO or retail method, to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The adoption of these provisions have been prospectively applied and did not have a material impact on the accompanying financial statements. Supplies and parts, solar panels and finished goods inventory is based on a physical count and stated at the lower of cost, using a standard costing system, or net realizable value. Finished goods include costs for direct labor, materials and allocated production overhead. Battery inventory is based on physical count and stated at the lower of cost, using the moving average cost method, or net realizable value. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on the straight‐line method using the following estimated useful lives: Solar power systems 25 years Machinery and equipment 3‐7 years Motor vehicles 3‐5 years Furniture and office equipment 3 years 8
Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Leasehold improvements are being amortized using the straight‐line method over the lesser of the estimated length of the related lease or estimated useful life of the asset. Costs related to long‐term capital asset projects are recorded as assets under construction. Once the underlying project is complete and the asset is placed in service, the costs will be depreciated. INVESTMENTS The company owns a 10% membership interest in Silicon Energy, LLC. During 2016, the company owned a 2% interest in Mojo Networks, Inc. (formally known as AirTight Networks, Inc.). During 2017, the company purchased additional stock in Mojo Networks, Inc. for $1,182,421 which increased the company's interest in Mojo Networks, Inc. to 3.2205%. These investments are accounted for using the cost method. The company periodically evaluates their investment for potential impairment. An impairment loss would be recognized as the amount by which the cost of the investments exceeds the fair market value. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Amortization of intangible assets is provided on the straight‐line method using the following expected benefit period: Non‐compete agreement 5 years GOODWILL The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of intangible assets, tangible assets and assumed liabilities in a business combination is allocated to goodwill. Goodwill is analyzed upon the occurrence of events or circumstances indicating that an impairment may exist. Impairment losses, if any, are recorded in the consolidated statement of income as part of income from operations. The company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 350‐20, Goodwill and Other. The provisions allow for the company to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that evidence of goodwill impairment exists. The company has adopted the accounting alternative provisions of FASB ASC 350‐20, Goodwill and Other, relating to the subsequent measurement of goodwill. Under the alternative provisions of ASC 350‐20, goodwill is amortized on a straight‐line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life or ten years (Note 7). Goodwill is amortized on a straight‐line basis over ten years. WARRANTIES The company records a liability for an estimate of costs that it expects to incur under its basic limited warranty when product revenue is recognized. Factors affecting the company's warranty liability include the number of units sold and historical and anticipated rates of claims and costs per claim. The company periodically assesses the adequacy of its warranty liability based on changes in these factors. 9
Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements FOREIGN OPERATIONS The accounting records of NavSemi Energy Pte. Ltd. are maintained in the local currencies of the Republic of India (Rupee) and Singapore (Singapore dollar). The accounting records of Alpha Technologies Pty. Ltd. are maintained in the local currency of Australia (AUD). The accounting records of Alpha Innovations Pty. Ltd. are maintained in the local currency of the Federature Republic of Brazil (Real). The accounting records of Alpha Innovations Mexico are maintained in the local currency of Mexico (Peso). Accounting standards require the financial statements of these foreign subsidiaries, be remeasured into U.S. dollars (reporting currency). The accompanying financial statements include amounts attributable to the foreign subsidiaries that have been translated into U.S. dollars using an average annual exchange rate for the statement of income, the exchange rate at December 31, 2017 and 2016 for the balance sheet, and the historical exchange rate for equity transactions. Exchange gains and losses from remeasurement into the reporting currency are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Foreign operations related to foreign subsidiaries consist of net sales equivalent to approximately $10,946,000 and $8,348,000 and a net loss of approximately $1,958,000 and $1,292,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Assets located outside of the United States totaled approximately $9,967,000 and $7,104,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in operating under different legal systems and various political and economic environments. Among the risks are changes in existing tax laws, possible limitations on foreign investment and income repatriation, government price or foreign exchange controls and restrictions on currency exchange. NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST Non‐controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet, and consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and stockholder's equity and comprehensive income represents the minority owner's proportionate share of equity and loss of NavSemi Energy Pte. Ltd. During 2016, the company purchased the remaining shares of NavSemi Energy Pte. Ltd. from the minority stockholder (Note 20). REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue for the sale of finished goods, batteries and certain solar panels is recognized upon shipment of products to customers when all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection is reasonably assured. Service and repair revenue is recorded as customers are invoiced for work performed. Revenue from software licensing agreements is recognized over the length of the contract, typically one to three years. Revenue from utility audits, carbon audits and other energy management services is recognized when earned which is when the company has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, services have been performed, the sales price has been fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from fixed price contracts are recorded on the basis of management's estimates of the percentage‐of‐completion of individual contracts, commencing when progress reaches a point where experience is sufficient to estimate final results with reasonable accuracy. Management's estimates of the percentage‐of‐completion of individual contracts are based primarily upon the 10
Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relationship of costs incurred to date compared with total estimated costs. Estimated total cost is a significant estimate which affects the recognition of contract profit or loss for each contract. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and revenues in the succeeding year. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change in the near term. Revisions in cost and profit estimates during the course of the work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts which require the revisions become known. When it becomes apparent that a loss on a contract will be incurred, the entire estimated loss is recorded. Work performed under fixed price contracts are generally less than one year in duration. Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontractor and labor costs, and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as equipment rental, supplies, tools and repairs. Included in inventory are certain direct solar panel and product materials purchased but not yet installed and charged to the job. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Unbilled receivables represent revenues earned in excess of amounts billed. Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced or collected in excess of revenues recognized. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The company estimates that the carrying amount of all financial instruments approximate fair value, a Level 1 input under ASC 820. SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS The company classifies shipping and handling as operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Total shipping and handling costs were approximately $2,160,000 and $2,816,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. TAXES COLLECTED FROM CUSTOMERS AND REMITTED TO GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES The company accounts for the collection and remittance of all taxes on a net basis. As a result, these amounts are not reflected in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014‐09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In general, this standard will require the company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in the amount of anticipated consideration in which the company is entitled. This standard also requires additional disclosure requirements that result in the company providing financial statement users comprehensive information regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow from the company's contracts with customers. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019 with retrospective application required. The company has not determined the impact of adopting this standard on the accompanying financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‐02, Leases. In general, this standard requires a lessee to record a right‐of‐use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. This standard will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020 with retrospective application required. The company has not determined the impact of adopting this standard on the accompanying financial statements. 11
Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 2 - RECEIVABLES Receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to income and an increase in the valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts.

Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 12 - FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES ON INCOME The company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740‐10, Income Taxes, relating to accounting for uncertain tax positions. ASC 740‐10 defines a recognition threshold and measurement process for accounting for uncertain tax positions and also provides guidance on various related matters such as interest, penalties, derecognition and disclosures. The company does not have any entity level uncertain tax positions. The company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2014. The company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, the current year deferred income tax expense or benefit is determined by the net change in the deferred tax liabilities or assets during the year. The deferred tax liabilities or assets are determined by comparison of the financial statement bases of all assets and liabilities to their corresponding tax bases and applying enacted tax rates to these temporary differences. The company has early adopted the provisions of FASB ASU 2015‐17, Income Taxes. The provisions of ASU 2015‐17 simplified the presentation of deferred income taxes which required that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The adoption of this ASU was retrospectively applied. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the accompanying financial statements. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a federal corporate rate reduction from 35% to 21% and a transition of U.S. International taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system. As a result of the federal corporate rate reduction, the company has revalued their deferred assets and liabilities and recorded tax expense of $226,000, which is included in deferred tax expense (benefit) as of December 31, 2017. The company is in the process of analyzing the final legislation and has not determined the impact of the transition tax on deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income. Financial statement bases and tax bases of assets differ due to the company utilizing accelerated depreciation methods for tax purposes on certain assets which are being depreciated less rapidly for financial statement purposes, the use of allowances for financial statement purposes, and other timing differences. These approximate temporary differences at December 31 are summarized as follows: 2017 2016 Deferred tax asset Capital loss carryforwards, expiring in 2020 $ 1,027,000 $ ‐ Difference in financial statement bases of goodwill over tax bases 372,000 586,000 Financial statement inventory reserve 256,000 441,000 Financial statement allowance for doubtful accounts 222,000 444,000 Financial statement accrual of bonuses and vacation 160,000 332,000 17
Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Financial statement warranty reserve 67,000 140,000 Financial statement deferred rent 36,000 81,000 Financial statement provision for losses on contracts in progress 5,000 54,000 Total deferred tax asset 2,145,000 2,078,000 Less valuation allowance (1,027,000) ‐ Net deferred tax asset $ 1,118,000 $ 2,078,000 Deferred tax liability Excess of financial statement bases of property and equipment over tax bases (751,000) (1,172,000) Total net deferred tax asset $ 367,000 $ 906,000 Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income. A valuation allowance of $1,027,000 has been recorded based on management's evaluation that it is more likely than not that the benefit from the capital loss carryforwards will not be realized. Although realization is not assured, management believes, based upon available information, it is more likely than not that the net deferred assets will be realized in the normal course of operations. The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future income are reduced. Federal and state income tax expense does not bear a normal relationship to income before taxes primarily due to the effects of general business credits, the change in the effective rate and nondeductible items for federal income tax purposes. Effective January 1, 2017, the company made a check the box election to classify NavSemi Energy Pte. Ltd. as a disregarded entity and include the results of operations in the consolidated tax return. Alpha Technologies Pty. Ltd., Alpha Innovations Pty. Ltd. and Alpha Innovations Mexico are treated as controlled foreign corporations under the Internal Revenue Code. As such, each subsidiary pays taxes in accordance with its local tax law. Note 13 - REVENUE Two customers comprised approximately 64% of the company's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017. Three customers comprised approximately 57% of the company's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016. Note 14 - SUPPLIER CONCENTRATION The company obtained approximately 13% of its inventory purchases from one supplier during each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Management believes other suppliers could provide similar products on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in shipping and a possible loss of sales, which could affect operating results adversely. 18

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 15 - LEASE COMMITMENTS The company leases service depot facilities in Washington, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, and Texas and warehouse facilities in New Mexico, from various parties.

The lease also calls for scheduled rent increases. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require lease payments to be recognized on a straight‐line basis over the term of the lease. The difference between the actual lease payments and the amount that is required to be recognized as expense is recorded as deferred rent on the consolidated balance sheet. NavSemi Energy Pte. Ltd. leases office and warehouse facilities in Bangalore, India, under operating agreements expiring through April 2021. The leases currently call for combined monthly rental payments of approximately $8,000 with scheduled annual increases.
