AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

American DG Energy Inc., or the Company, we, our or us, distributes, owns, operates and maintains clean, on-site energy systems that produce electricity, hot water, heat and cooling. The Company's business model 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 at prices guaranteed to the customer to be below conventional utility rates. The Company calls this business the American DG Energy “On-Site Utility”.

The Company has experienced total net losses since inception of approximately $42 million. For the foreseeable future, the Company expects to experience continuing operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as its management executes the current business plan. 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 twelve months. However, as the Company continues to grow its business by adding more energy systems, cash requirements will increase, and the Company may need to raise additional capital through debt financings or equity offerings to meet its operating and capital needs. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in its fundraising efforts or that additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

In 2015, the Company began executing the Initiative. The Initiative is focused on effectively investing the Company’s capital by increasing the performance of its existing sites. The goal of the Initiative is to make strategic capital improvements aimed at increasing productivity of the existing portfolio while optimizing the Company’s margins and increasing cash flow. The Company expects that the Initiative will provide a strong foundation of high performing assets that may be used to fund future growth.

On May 4, 2016, the Company exchanged approximately 14.72 million of its shares in EuroSite Power, or 22% of its 48% ownership in its European subsidiary, for elimination of a portion of the outstanding 6% convertible debentures due May 2018. With this swap of EuroSite Power shares in exchange for partial extinguishment of the convertible debt, American DG Energy reduced the convertible debt outstanding to $8.6 million. The Company is pursuing a similar debt exchange transaction for the remaining convertible debt outstanding and expects to complete that subsequent transaction in the coming weeks.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in American DG Energy Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

There have been no significant changes in accounting principles, practices or methods for making estimates.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. Those entities include the Company's 51.0% owned joint venture, American DG New York, LLC, or ADGNY, and its 48.0% owned subsidiary EuroSite Power Inc., or EuroSite Power. The Company has determined EuroSite Power to be a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) and for which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary (Note 8. "Variable Interest Entity”).

AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.

Note 2. Loss Per Common Share

The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company computes diluted earnings per common share using the treasury stock method. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company considers its 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 its common stock for the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company excluded 14,428,583 potentially dilutive shares, and for the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company excluded 15,763,083 potentially dilutive shares because such shares would be anti-dilutive as a result of the reported net loss.

Note 3. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 differ from that which would be expected by applying the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to losses for which no benefit is recognized.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company currently does 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. The Company considers its convertible debentures a level 2 liability and believes that its carrying value approximates fair value.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability.

In connection with recognizing the distribution of energy systems to the noncontrolling interest in ADGNY (see Note 5. "Stockholders' Equity"), the Company utilized Level 3 category fair value measurements. Those measurements employed the use of discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of those energy systems. The estimated expected cash flows were discounted at a rate of 12% per annum.

Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity

On January 29, 2015, the Company entered into an exchange agreement, (or the "Exchange Agreement"), with IN Holdings Corp., a holder of more than 5% percent of the Company’s common stock, (or "IN Holdings"). In connection with the Exchange Agreement, IN Holdings transferred to the Company 1,320,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that it owned, and in exchange, the Company transferred to IN Holdings 1,320,000 shares of the common stock of EuroSite Power Inc. that it owned. The exchange was accounted for as an acquisition and retirement of treasury shares and a disposal of partial ownership of a consolidated subsidiary. As the Company retained a controlling financial interest following the exchange, no gain or loss was recognized on the disposal in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23. In accordance with ASC 845-10-05-4, nonmonetary transactions, the fair value of the shares surrendered by the Company in the exchange were used to value the exchange.

On September 19, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program that shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares of common stock and shall not exceed $1,100,000 of cost. The approval allows for purchases over a 24-month period at prices not to exceed $1.30 per share. During the first three months of 2016, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. See Part II, Item 2, "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds", for further details.

Table of Contents

AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with the noncontrolling interest joint venture partner in ADGNY, whereby, in exchange for $100,000 cash and 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, the noncontrolling interest partner relinquished certain economic interests in certain energy system projects in the joint venture sites owned and operated by ADGNY; and ownership of certain energy system projects owned by ADGNY was transferred to the Company; and ownership of certain energy system projects owned by ADGNY was transferred to the noncontrolling interest joint venture partner. Additionally, the interests in underlying energy system projects remaining in the joint venture following the transfers of ownership of those energy system projects described in the preceding sentence, were adjusted to 51% and 49% for the Company and the noncontrolling interest joint venture partner in ADGNY, respectively. Following the foregoing series of transactions, the Company retained a controlling 51% legal interest and had a 51% economic interest in ADGNY.

The relinquishment by the noncontrolling interest partner of certain economic interests in certain energy system projects in the joint venture sites owned and operated by ADGNY for the benefit of the Company and the adjustment of the respective interests in underlying energy system projects remaining in the joint venture were treated as changes in the Company’s ownership interest in ADGNY while the Company retained a controlling financial interest, and accordingly, were accounted for as equity transactions in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23.

The transfer of ownership of certain energy system projects owned by ADGNY to the noncontrolling interest joint venture partner was treated as a dividend of nonmonetary assets and was recognized at the fair value of the energy systems transferred in accordance with ASC 845-10-30-1, with a gain of $157,870 recognized in interest and other income, which is attributed entirely to the noncontrolling interest in the accompanying financial statements.

Note 6. Related Parties

EuroSite Power, Tecogen, Ilios Inc., or Ilios are affiliated companies by virtue of common ownership and common leadership.

The Company purchases the majority of its cogeneration units from 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. The Company's lease with Tecogen expires on July 31, 2016 and renews automatically until cancelled by one of the parties. These costs were reimbursed by the Company. As of March 31, 2016, the Company owed Tecogen $611,526, and Tecogen owed the Company $84,389.

During the first quarter of 2015, Eurosite Power repaid $1,000,000 of a related party $3,000,000 note payable in accordance with the terms of the note.

On July 7, 2015, EuroSite Power, one of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries, entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, (or the "Agreement"), with Elias Samaras, EuroSite Power's Chief Executive Officer and President and a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Under the terms of the Agreement, Dr. Samaras has agreed to lend EuroSite Power up to an aggregate of $1,000,000, upon written request. Any amounts borrowed by EuroSite Power pursuant to the Agreement will bear interest at 6% per year. Interest is due and payable quarterly in arrears. Repayment of the principal amount borrowed pursuant to the Agreement will be due on June 30, 2017. Prepayment of any amounts due under the Agreement may be made at any time without penalty. As of March 31, 2016, no amounts have been drawn on this line.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has certain commitments under agreements with Tecogen, Ilios, and other related parties (see Note 6. "Related Parties").

The Company, in the ordinary course of business is involved in various legal matters, the outcomes of which are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 8. Variable Interest Entity

The carrying amount and classification of assets and liabilities of the Company's consolidated subsidiary EuroSite Power, which is considered to be a variable interest entity, and for which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary, were as follows as March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:



	March 31, 2016	December 31, 2015
Current assets	$1,081,651	$1,450,034
Long-term assets	7,622,395	7,527,266

Current liabilities	823,013	699,086
Long-term liabilities	4,512,350	4,536,422

Note 9. Subsequent Events

On May 12, 2016, in a private placement of its common stock, EuroSite Power raised $7.25 million at $0.575 per share from various accredited investors. EuroSite plans to use these funds to first pay off its debt to its Chairman, of $2,000,000, with the balance to be used to fund operations and growth. Closing has been set for June 8, 2016.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing and determined that no other subsequent events occurred that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements are made throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding our current and future cash requirements, our expectations regarding suppliers of cogeneration units, and statements regarding potential financing activities in the future. While the Company may elect to update forward-looking statements in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if the Company’s estimates change, and readers should not rely on those forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Quarterly Report. There are a number of important factors that could cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including those detailed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

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. The Company calls this business the American DG Energy “On-Site Utility”.

The majority of our heating system sales are in the winter, and the majority of our chilling systems sales are in the summer.

The profitability of our business model is highly dependent on the functionality of our energy equipment, the price of electricity, the demand for electricity, and to a lesser extent, the price of natural gas. Generally, increase in demand for electricity tends to cause prices to rise. Higher electricity prices increase the Company’s revenue and liquidity. Lower natural gas prices decrease operational cost. To mitigate the risk of low electrical rates, the Company pursues energy system projects in areas with higher electricity rates.

There is an ongoing consideration of how to access and lower the cost of capital. The Company regularly assesses the cost and availability of debt capital, preferred stock, convertible debentures, private equity financing, and public common stock offerings. The effect these fundraising efforts have on the business will depend on the type of fundraising. Generally, debt and convertible debenture financing will increase interest expense. Generally, convertible debentures, private equity, and public equity have the potential to dilute shareholder’s earnings per share. To date, the Company has largely financed its growth through the private placements of convertible debt and equity. During the first quarter of 2016 the Company's subsidiary, EuroSite Power, signed two project financing agreements which will provide funding for projects going forward.

On May 4, 2016, the Company exchanged approximately 14.72 million of its shares in EuroSite Power, or 22% or its 48% ownership in its European subsidiary, for elimination of a portion of the outstanding 6% convertible debentures due May 2018. With this swap of EuroSite Power shares in exchange for partial extinguishment of the convertible debt, American DG Energy reduced the convertible debt outstanding to $8.6 million. The Company is pursuing a similar debt exchange transaction for the remaining convertible debt outstanding and expects to complete that subsequent transaction in the coming weeks.

Results of Operations

First Quarter 2016 Compared to First Quarter 2015.

Revenues

Revenues in the first quarter of 2016 were $2,201,481 compared to $2,507,740 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $306,259 or 12.2%. The decrease is mainly due to the loss of revenue from eight energy sites under the

Table of Contents

AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.

restructuring of the Company's joint venture in the second quarter of 2015. On-Site Utility energy revenue in the first quarter of 2016 was $2,050,001 compared to $2,390,347 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $340,346 or 14.2%, also due to the restructuring of the second quarter of 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, in addition to our On-Site Utility energy revenue, the Company performed billable services and recorded revenue primarily from the sale of energy equipment and energy feasibility studies. The revenue from our turnkey projects can vary substantially from period to period. While the Company accepts turnkey installation projects, they are not considered our core business. Our turnkey and other revenue in the first quarter of 2016 increased to $151,480 compared to $117,393 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $34,087 or 29.0%.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company operated 122 energy systems, representing 8,523 kWh of installed electricity potential, compared to 126 energy systems, representing 8,511 kWh of installed electricity potential for the same period in 2015. The decrease in the number of energy systems operating is due to the restructuring of the Company's joint venture in the second quarter of 2015. The revenue per customer on a monthly basis is based on the sum of the amount of energy produced by the Company’s energy systems and a contractually negotiated formula, which takes into account the monthly published price of energy (electricity, natural gas or oil) from its customers’ local energy utility, less an applicable discount. The Company’s revenues commence as new energy systems become operational.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales, including depreciation, in the first quarter of 2016 was $2,033,734 compared to $2,236,110 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $202,376 or 9.1%. The decrease in cost of sales is principally due to a decrease in fuel costs, offset by an increase in depreciation and also the reduction in installed sites. The cost of fuel, maintenance and installation was $1,482,658 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $1,727,653 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $244,995 or 14.2%. Depreciation expense was $551,076 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $508,457 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $42,619.

During the first quarter of 2016, our gross margins were 7.6% compared to 10.8% for the same period in 2015, principally due to the increase in depreciation expense. Our gross margins, excluding depreciation, were 32.7% in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 31.1% for the same period in 2015.

Operating Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses consist of executive staff, accounting and legal expenses, office space, general insurance and other administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2016 were $677,730 compared to $861,062 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $183,332 or 21.3%. The decrease was primarily due to lower salary and personnel costs as a result of our initiative efforts.

Our selling expenses consist of sales staff, commissions, marketing, travel and other selling related expenses including provisions for bad debt write-offs. The Company sells energy using both direct sales and commissioned agents. Our marketing efforts consisted of internet marketing, print literature, media relations and event-driven direct mail. Our selling expenses in the first quarter of 2016 were $153,453 compared to $340,693 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of $187,240 or 55.0%. The decrease in expense was primarily due to lower salaries and commission expense as a result of our initiative efforts.

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 first quarter of 2016 were $249,492 compared to $170,370 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $79,122 or 46.4%. The increase was primarily due to the costs associated with improving the installed base of energy systems.

Loss from Operations

The loss from operations in the first quarter of 2016 was $912,928 compared to a loss of $1,100,495 for the same period in 2015, an improvement of $187,567 or 17.0%. The improvement in the operating loss was primarily due to lower operating expenses by $291,450 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Our non-cash compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock and option awards to our employees was $60,655 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $150,459 for the same period in 2015.

Our other expense, net, in the first quarter of 2016 was an expense of $324,207 compared to an expense of $287,792 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $36,415. Interest expense was $337,048 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $312,456 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $24,592, which is primarily due to an increase in premiums from the exchange of convertible debt as a prepayment of interest in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for taxes in the first quarter of 2016 was $66,427 compared to $7,355 for the same period in 2015. The provision consists of various state income taxes accrued for the quarter.

Noncontrolling Interest

The noncontrolling interest in the profits or losses in American DG New York, LLC, or ADGNY, and EuroSite Power was a reduction in net loss of $202,367 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to a reduction in net loss of $183,208 for the same period in 2015. This difference of $19,159 is due to the reduction of sites as a result of the ADGNY reorganization in Q2 of 2015.

In addition, our receivables balance, including unbilled revenue and allowances for bad debts, increased to $1,267,455 in the first three months of 2016 compared to $950,174 at December 31, 2015, using $317,281 of cash. Our inventory decreased to $1,068,021 in the first three months of 2016 compared to $1,112,853 at December 31, 2015, providing $44,832 of cash.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures:

Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal co-executive officers and acting principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our co-principal executive officers and acting principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”) are ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our co-principal executive officers and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

Remediation steps were taken in the first quarter of 2016 regarding the impairment assessment process providing a step by step approach in identifying events or changes in circumstances that would require an impairment test of its long-lived assets, estimating the future cash flows related to those long-lived assets and estimating the fair value of those long-lived assets, as required.
