AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.
Notes to Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited) for the period ending June 30, 2008
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation:
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Unaudited Financial Statements”) presented herein have been prepared by the company, without audit, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein. It is suggested that the Unaudited Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The operating results for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2008 may not be indicative of the results expected for any succeeding interim period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2008.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American DG Energy Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary American DG Energy and its 51% joint venture, American DG New York, LLC (“ADG NY”), (referred to hereafter as “Investee entities”), after elimination of all material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits. Investee entities in which American DG Energy, Inc. owns directly or indirectly 50% or more of the membership interests have been consolidated as a result of the company’s control over the Investee entities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Minority interests in the net assets and earnings or losses of consolidated Investee entities are reflected in the caption “Minority interest” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Minority interest adjusts the consolidated results of operations to reflect only American DG Energy Inc’s shares of the earnings or losses of the consolidated investee entities. Upon dilution of ownership below 50%, the accounting method is adjusted to the equity or cost method of accounting, as appropriate, for subsequent periods.
The company’s operations are comprised of one business segment. Our business is selling energy in the form of electricity, heat, hot water and cooling to our customers under long-term sales agreements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from energy contracts is recognized when electricity, heat, and chilled water is produced by the cogeneration systems onsite. The company bills each month based on various meter readings installed at each site. The amount of energy produced by on-site energy systems is invoiced, as determined by a contractually defined formula. Under certain energy contracts, the customer directly acquires the fuel to power the systems and receives credit for that expense from the company. The credit is recorded as revenue and cost of fuel. We recognize revenue that relates to multiple element contracts in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Revenue to which this guidance applies includes a contract that consists of the sale of equipment, installation, energy, and maintenance. When a sales arrangement contains multiple elements, revenue is allocated to each element based upon its relative fair value. Fair value is determined based on the price of a deliverable sold on a standalone basis.
As a by-product of our energy business, in some cases the customer may choose to have us construct the system for them rather than have it owned by American DG Energy. In this case, we account for revenue and costs using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, revenues are recognized by applying percentages of completion to the total estimated revenues for the respective contracts. Costs are recognized as incurred. The percentages of completion are determined by relating the actual cost of work performed to date to the current estimated total cost at completion of the respective contracts. When the estimate on a contract indicates a loss, the company’s policy is to record the entire expected loss, regardless of the percentage of completion. In certain instances, revenue from unresolved claims is recorded when, in the opinion of management, realization of such revenue is probable and can be reliably estimated, only to the extent of actual costs incurred. Otherwise, revenue from claims is recorded in the year in which such claims are resolved. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of related billings and unbilled revenue represent the excess of contract costs and profit recognized to date on the percentage-of-completion accounting method over billings to date on certain contracts. Billings in excess of related costs and estimated earnings represents the excess of billings to date over the amount of contract costs and profits recognized to date on the percentage-of-completion accounting method for certain contracts. Customers may buy out their long term obligation under energy contracts and purchase the underlying equipment from the company. Any resulting gain on these transactions is recognized over the payment period

in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Revenues from operation and maintenance services, including shared savings are recorded when provided and verified.
Note 2 – Earnings per Common Share
We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We compute our diluted earnings per common share using the treasury stock method. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, we consider our shares issuable in connection with convertible debentures, stock options and warrants to be dilutive common stock equivalents when the exercise price is less than the average market price of our common stock for the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we excluded 8,199,237 anti-dilutive shares resulting from conversion of debentures and exercise of stock options and warrants, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we excluded 7,344,145 anti-dilutive stock options and shares resulting from conversion of debentures. The following table outlines the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007.
| | Three Months | | Six Months | |

Note 3—Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R) was $174,451 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and $128,039 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The incremental impact of SFAS No. 123(R) during the six months ended June 30, 2008 represents stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and stock options. The total compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards and stock option awards not yet recognized is $660,088. This amount will be recognized over the next five years. During the three and six months ended on June 30, 2008, there were no stock option awards granted. As of June 30, 2008, there were 688,000 unvested shares of restricted stock outstanding.
Restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was as follows:
| | Number of | | Grant Date | |
| | Restricted Stock | | Fair Value | |
| | | | | |
Unvested, December 31, 2007 | | 948,875 | | $ | 0.70 | |
Granted | | — | | — | |
Vested | | (260,875 | ) | 0.70 | |
Forfeited | | — | | — | |
Unvested, June 30, 2008 | | 688,000 | | $ | 0.70 | |
Note 4 – Warrants
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the company issued 935,000 shares of common stock through the exercise of warrants at a price per share of $0.70 resulting in proceeds to the company of $654,500. At the end of the period ended June 30, 2008, the Company had 575,000 warrants outstanding at an average exercise price of $0.70 per share, of which 75,000 expire by December 31, 2008.
Note 5 — Related party
The company purchases the majority of its cogeneration units from Tecogen, Inc. (“Tecogen”), an affiliate company sharing similar ownership. In addition, Tecogen pays certain operating expenses, including benefits and payroll, on behalf of the company and the company leases office space from Tecogen. These costs were reimbursed by the company. Tecogen has a sublease agreement for the office building, which expires on March 31, 2009. In January 2008, the company amended its 2006 Facilities, Support Services

Table of Contents
AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.
and Business Agreement with Tecogen, to provide the company with certain office and business support services for a period of one year, renewable annually by mutual agreement. Under the amended business agreement, the company revised the rent allocation whereby Tecogen provides the company with office space and utilities at a flat rate of $2,053 per month. In May 2008, the company assumed additional space from Tecogen thereby increasing the monthly rent to $2,780.
On February 15, 2007, the company loaned the minority interest partner in the ADG NY $20,000 by signing in a two year loan agreement earning interest at 12% per annum. On April 1, 2007, the company loaned an additional $75,000 to the same minority interest partner by signing a two year note agreement earning interest at 12% per annum, and on May 16, 2007, the company loaned an additional $55,000 to the same partner by signing a two year note agreement under the same terms. All notes are classified in the Due from related party account in the accompanying balance sheet and are secured by the partner’s minority interest. On October 11, 2007, we extended to our minority interest partner a line of credit of $500,000. At June 30, 2008, $473,036 was outstanding and due to the company under the combination of the above agreements.
Our Chief Financial Officer devotes part of his business time to the affairs of GlenRose Instruments Inc., and part of his salary is reimbursed by GlenRose Instruments Inc.
Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements
SFAS 157 defines and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with SFAS 157, we have categorized our financial assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We currently do not have any Level 1 financial assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability. We currently do not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities.
During the six months ended on June 30, 2008, the company had $684,183 in short-term investments that are comprised of Certificates of Deposits which are categorized as Level 2.
Note 7 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Business combinations - In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), “Business Combinations”, which requires changes in the accounting and reporting of business acquisitions. The statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in purchased entities, measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition based upon the definition of fair value outlined in SFAS No. 157. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the company for acquisitions that occur beginning in 2010. Because the pronouncement is to be applied prospectively, there will be no impact on the company’s current financial statements as a result of adopting SFAS 141(R).
Minority Interests - In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARB No. 51”, which requires changes in the accounting and reporting of noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary, also known as minority interest. The statement clarifies that a minority interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for the company at the beginning of 2010. Because the pronouncement is to be applied prospectively, there will be no impact on the company’s current financial statements as a result of adopting SFAS 160.

The company distributes and operates on-site cogeneration systems that produce both electricity and heat. The company’s primary business is to own the equipment that it installs at customers’ facilities and to sell the energy produced by these systems to its customers on a long-term contractual basis. We call this business the American DG Energy “On-Site Utility”.
Second Quarter 2008 Compared to Second Quarter 2007
Revenues
Revenues in the second quarter of 2008 were $2,152,219 as compared to $1,768,292 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $383,927 or 21.7%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in our core On-Site Utility Energy business revenues that increased 87.3% from 2007.
During the second quarter of 2008, we were operating 53 energy systems at 29 locations in the Northeast, representing 4,045 kW of installed electricity plus thermal energy, compared to 42 energy systems at 22 locations, representing 2,820 kW of installed electricity plus thermal energy for the same period in 2007. Our revenues per customer on a monthly basis is based on the sum of the amount of energy produced by our energy systems and the published price of energy (electricity, natural gas or oil) from our customer’s local energy utility that month, less the discounts we provide our customers. Our revenues commence as new energy systems become operational.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, including depreciation, in the second quarter of 2008 were $2,040,157 as compared to $1,351,016 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $689,141 or 51.0%. Included in the cost of sales was depreciation expense of $132,300 in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $97,207 in the second quarter of 2007. Our cost of sales consists of fuel required to operate our energy systems, the cost of maintenance, and minimal communications costs. The cost of natural gas is the largest component of our cost of sales and changes in natural gas prices can affect our margins. During the second quarter of 2008, our gross margins were 5.2% compared to 23.6% in 2007, primarily due to increased installation costs on the completion of two turn-key installation projects that were aggressively pursued in order to enter new markets. These one-time events negatively impacted our cost of sales and our margins, but had no affect on our core On-Site Utility Energy business. During the second quarter of 2008, our gross margins from our core On-Site Utility Energy business including depreciation were 17.4% compared to 14.0% in 2007.
Operating Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist of executive staff, accounting and legal expenses, office space, audit services, general insurance and other administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2008 were $385,063 compared to $332,589 in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in the general and administrative expenses of $52,474 was primarily due to increase insurance and professional fees and the addition of a part time employee. Our general and administrative expenses include a non-cash compensation expense, in accordance with SFAS No.123(R) related to the issuance of restricted stock and option awards to our employees.
Our selling expenses consist of sales staff, commissions, marketing, travel and other selling related expenses including provisions for bad debt write-offs. We sell energy using both direct sales and commissioned agents. Our marketing effort consisted of trade shows, print literature, media relations and event driven direct mail. Our selling expenses in the second quarter of 2008 were $134,242 compared to $44,160 in the second quarter of 2007. In the second quarter of 2007 we collected $93,591 that had been written off in previous quarters, which caused a favorable impact to expenses for that period.
Our engineering expenses consisted of technical staff and other engineering related expenses. The role of engineering is to

evaluate potential customer sites based on technical and economic feasibility, manage the installed base of energy systems and oversee each new installation project. Our engineering expenses in the second quarter of 2008 were $79,114 compared to $76,272 in the second quarter of 2007.
Operating Income
Operating income in the second quarter of 2008 was a loss of $486,357 compared to a loss of $35,745 in the second quarter of 2007. The operating loss was primarily due to increased installation costs on the completion of two turn-key installation projects that were aggressively pursued in order to enter new markets. These one-time events negatively impacted our operating income, but had no affect on our core On-Site Utility Energy business. Our non-cash compensation expense in accordance with SFAS No.123(R) related to the issuance of restricted stock and option awards to our employees was $78,811 in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $81,766 in the second quarter of 2007.

Interest and other income was $34,876 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $80,692 in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease was primarily due a lower cash balance and due to lower yields on our invested funds. Interest expense was $118,897 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $121,500 in the second quarter of 2007, due to interest on our convertible debenture issued in 2006.
Provision for Income Taxes
The company had a provision for certain state taxes of $20,315 in the second quarter of 2008. The tax provision in the second quarter of 2007 was not material and was included in general and administrative expenses.
Minority Interest
In 2002, the company and AES-NJ Cogen Inc. of New Jersey created ADG NY to develop projects in the New York and New Jersey area. The company owns 51% of ADGNY. Both partners in ADGNY share in the profits of the business. The percentage share of the profit is based on the partner’s investment in each individual project. The company’s investments in ADGNY projects have ranged from 51% to 80%. The minority interest expense represents our partner’s share of profits in the entity. On our balance sheet, minority interest represents our partner’s investment in the entity, plus its share of after tax profits less any cash distributions. The company reported minority interest of $89,209 in the second quarter of 2008 and $58,589 in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in minority interest share of their earnings is due to the overall increase in joint venture volume and profits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
First Six Months 2008
Consolidated working capital in the first six months of 2008 was $4,734,470, compared to $5,555,696 at December 31, 2007. Included in working capital were cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $4,177,065 at June 30, 2008, compared to $5,057,482 at December 31, 2007. The decrease in working capital was a result of cash needed to fund operations.
Cash used by operating activities was $388,882 in the first six months of 2008 compared to cash used of $374,222 in the first six months of 2007. The company’s short and long-term receivables balance, including unbilled revenue, increased to $1,108,894, in the first six months of 2008 from $767,229 at December 31, 2007, due to increase sales volume, resulting in a decrease in cash of $341,665. The company’s due from related parties short and long-term decreased to $473,036 in the first six months of 2008 from $570,374 at December 31, 2007, providing $97,338 of cash to the company due to payments received from our minority interest partner. Our prepaid and other current assets increased to $154,134 in the first six months of 2008 from $77,853 at December 31, 2007, using $80,544 of cash primarily due to prepaid insurance and prepaid taxes.
Accounts payable increased to $690,510 in the first six months of 2008, compared to $354,091 at December 31, 2007, providing $336,420 of cash to the company due to construction in process. Our accrued expenses and other current liabilities including accrued interest expense increased to $362,100 in the first six months of 2008 from $339,740 at December 31, 2007, using $96,538 of the company’s cash offset by an accrual of $118,897 for future interest payments.
During the first six months of 2008, the primary investing activities of the company’s operations were expenditures for the purchase of property, plant and equipment for the company’s energy system installations. The company used $1,020,197 for purchases and installation of energy systems and $684,183 for short-term investments. The company’s financing activities provided $528,662 of cash, net of costs, in the first six months of 2008 primarily from the exercise of common stock warrants.
The company believes that its existing resources, including cash and cash equivalents and future cash flow from operations, are sufficient to meet the working capital requirements of its existing business for the foreseeable future, including the next 12 months. However, as we continue to grow our business by adding more energy systems, our cash requirements will increase. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and our ability to control certain costs, including those related to general and administrative expenses will enable us to meet our anticipated cash expenditures through the end of 2008. Beyond January 1, 2009 we may need to raise additional capital through a debt financing or an equity offering to meet our operating and capital needs for future growth.
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Estimates
The company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are incorporated in the 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K that is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable
Item 4T: Controls and Procedures
Management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures:
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e); collectively, “Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”) have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our Disclosure Controls were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that material information relating to our company and any consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
In connection with the evaluation referred to in the foregoing paragraph, we have identified no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
The management of the company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion of this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2008.
There is a lack of segregation of duties at the company due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters and general controls over information technology security and user access. This constitutes a material weakness in financial reporting. Furthermore, the company did not have personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the selection, application and implementation of generally acceptable accounting principles as it relates to complex transactions and financial reporting requirements. At this time, management has decided that considering the employees involved and the control procedures in place, there are risks associated with such lack of segregation, but the potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the expenses associated with such increases. Management will continue to evaluate this segregation of duties.
The company had 13 employees as of June 30, 2008. Only one of those individuals is in the finance function, other than the Chief Financial Officer. This individual is responsible for receiving and distributing cash, billing, processing transactions, recording journal entries, reconciling accounts, and preparing the financial statements and related disclosures. He also has check signing authority, for transactions under $2,000. As a result, there is the potential for this individual to knowingly or unknowingly misappropriate assets or misstate our financial statements. To mitigate these risks, the company has put in place procedures where the Chief Executive Officer, the President and the Chief Financial Officer have check signing authority. In addition they review and approve all material contracts, transactions and related journal entries. They are also responsible for reviewing and approving monthly financials and related reconciliations, budget to actual comparisons and the information required to be disclosed by the company in all reports we have and will file under the Exchange Act.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the
14

AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.
company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.
