ZHPV&#8217;s core business is to provide engineering, procurement and construction (&#8220;EPC&#8221;) services. In order to build a solar farm in China it is first necessary to obtain a permit, which covers a specific location. ZHTH and ZHPV establish special subsidiaries to own and acquire a permit for a solar farm. We refer to these subsidiaries as project </font></font> subsidiaries. When a buyer of a project is identified, we sell to the buyer the equity in the project subsidiary that holds the permit for that specific solar farm project, and the buyer of the project engages ZHPV for the EPC work. The purchase price for the project subsidiary is an amount approximating the project subsidiary&#8217;s net assets. Accordingly, we do not generate a material gain or loss from the sale of the project subsidiaries. The sale of the equity in the project subsidiaries is part of the normal course of our operations in China. Because Chinese government regulations prohibit the sale of the permit relating to a solar farm, it is necessary for us to sell the equity in the project subsidiary to effectuate the transfer of the ownership of the solar farm and permit to the buyer. At or prior to completion of the EPC work on the solar farm, we seek to obtain an agreement to operate and maintain the solar farm upon its completion. Jiangsu Honghao provides operations and maintenance services for each project for which we receive a contract, either directly or through a subsidiary. &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">Unlike systems in the United States, which are installations for residential and small business users, the projects in China are solar farms, which are large land areas where multiple ground-mount solar tracking towers are installed. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 0px"><b>Selected Risks Associated with Our Business</b></p> <p style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.

The losses in all three periods resulted from losses in our United States segment, with our China operations generating a modest profit in each period. Revenues from our United States operations decreased to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. We incurred negative cash flows from operations of $5.5 million in 2017 and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. We will need to increase our revenue and reduce our costs for our operations in the United States and China in order for us to operate profitably.

The agreement stipulates a 30MW minimum amount per year,&nbsp;which will cost approximately $16.8 million based on the most recent price paid on a purchase order from&nbsp;Sunspark,&nbsp;with the first year being the year ending May 31, 2017. Sunspark and we orally agreed that we may complete our purchase obligations for the year ended May 31, 2018 by December 31, 2018 and no schedule has yet been discussed with respect to 2019. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our required purchases by December 31, 2018 or for 2019 or that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations or obtain sufficient financing to enable us to satisfy our obligations, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to use or sell all of the solar panels we are required to purchase. Further, since we do not control the operations of the supplier, we may not be able to monitor or control the quality or delivery schedules for the solar panels. Our failure to meet our obligations, to generate the necessary cash flow from operations or otherwise finance our obligations, or the failure of the supplier to meet our delivery and quality requirements could impair the results of our operations and our financial condition.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b> Because we are dependent upon related parties for almost all of our revenue in China, our inability to develop new business in China could impair our ability to operate profitably. </b> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"> For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 substantially all of our revenue from our China segment was derived from subsidiaries or affiliates of Changzhou Almaden Co., Ltd.,  which is a related party that we refer to in this prospectus as AMD. Revenue from AMD and its subsidiaries and affiliates accounted for revenues of approximately 41% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018, 62% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 61% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016. This revenue was derived related primarily from EPC services. Our inability to generate significant revenue from non-related parties could materially impair our ability to operate profitably in China.

The loans are secured and are payable 48 months from the date of the advance and may be extended by the lender to a date when the final step of the EB-5 visa process is completed and the immigrant investors can become lawful permanent residents of the United States. Our ability to obtain funding from the EB-5 program is dependent on both our ability to create the required full-time jobs, and finding lenders or investors who have the funds to make a meaningful investment in us or one of our United States subsidiaries and the continuation of the EB-5 program. We cannot assure you that we will continue to be eligible to obtain debt or equity funding through the EB-5 program. The loans become due commencing in 2018. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the funds to pay the EB-5 loans when they mature, and our inability to pay or refinance these loans could have a material adverse effect upon our business. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>&nbsp;</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b>We may not be successful in developing our solar farm project business in China.</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px;

The revenue stream from the maintenance services is significantly less than the revenue from the EPC services. Accordingly, it is necessarily for us, on an ongoing basis, to continue to develop new EPC business, and our failure to develop the EPC business and to enter into maintenance contracts with the customers will impair our ability to operate profitably and the ability of our China segment to continue operations.&nbsp; Further, because we are dependent upon a small number of customers, our quarterly revenues from China are affected by the timing of contracts we receive and the time during which the work is performed, which could result in significant changes in revenue and net income from our China segment from quarter to quarter. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b> Because we rely on our relationship with one leasing company, our failure or inability to maintain this relationship may impair our ability to operate profitably. </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt" align="justify"> In order to provide customers with the ability to lease our solar systems, we have entered into a channel agreement with Sunrun, Inc .

These regulations and policies, which, on the state and local level, differ from state to state, often relate to tax benefits, electricity pricing, net metering the interconnection of customer-owned electricity generation with the local electricity utility company. These laws, regulations and policies are constantly subject to change, and many benefit provisions have sunset clauses, which would result in a termination or reduction of the benefit unless the benefit is expressly extended. The solar power industry is heavily dependent on government incentives and subsidies that constitute an important economic factor in a user&#8217;s decision to purchase a solar energy system. We cannot assure you that these benefits will continue at their present levels, if at all. The reduction, elimination or expiration of government benefits and economic incentives for solar energy systems could substantially increase the cost of our systems to our potential customers, which would in turn reduce the demand for our solar energy systems.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">In many areas in China, solar farms, particularly on-grid photovoltaic systems, would not be commercially viable without government subsidies or economic incentives. The cost of generating electricity from solar energy in these markets currently exceeds, and very likely will continue to exceed for the foreseeable future, the cost of generating electricity from conventional or other renewable energy sources. These subsidies and incentives have been primarily in the form of set electricity prices and performance incentive programs, to solar farm operators. To the extent that these incentives are not available, we may not be able to sell our systems to customers in these regions. Further, if we decide to operate the solar farms in these regions for our own account instead of selling the project, we may not be able to generate a profit from those operations, which would impair results of our operations and our ability to operate profitably.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><b>Changes in utility regulations and pricing could impair the market for our products.</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">The market for alternative energy products is affected by utility regulation and pricing policies. Changes in regulations or pricing could result in a significant reduction in the demand for our products. Depending on the region, electricity generated by solar energy systems competes most effectively with expensive peak-hour electricity from the electric grid, rather than the less expensive average price of electricity. Modifications to the utility companies&#8217; peak hour pricing policies affect the competitive nature of our systems. To the extent that we have to lower prices, the profitability of our systems could be impaired. In addition, any changes to government or internal utility regulations and policies that favor electric utilities could reduce our competitiveness and cause a significant reduction in demand for our products and services.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b>Changes in net metering regulations could impair the market for solar products.</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity that they add to the electricity grid. If the owner of a solar system generates more electricity than it consumes, the excess electricity is sold back to the grid. California&#8217;s first net metering policy set a &#8220;cap&#8221; for the three investor-owned utility companies in the state: Pacific Gas &amp; Electric (PG&amp;E), San Diego Gas &amp; Electric (SDG&amp;E), and Southern California Edison (SCE) all three have reached their cap where total solar installations in each utility&#8217;s territory were capped at five percent of total peak electricity demand. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) created the current program known as &#8220;Net Metering 2.0&#8221; (NEM 2.0) that extends California net metering. NEM 2.0 is slightly different from the first net metering policy. Under NEM 2.0, customers will still receive the retail credit for electricity produced but will be required to pay more in Non-Bypassable Charges. NEM 2.0 also requires new solar customers to pay a one-time Interconnection Application Fee, the amount of which is dependent upon the utility company. For systems under 1MW this fee is $132 for San Diego Gas &amp; Electric, $145 for Pacific Gas &amp; Electric, and $75 for Southern California Edison. NEM 2.0 customers are also required to use Time of Use (ToU) rates. These changes alter the return on investment for solar customers, and our pricing needs to reflect this change in order for the purchase of a solar system to be economically attractive to the customer, which may be reflected in lower prices and reduced margins. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"> To the extent that utility companies are not required to purchase excess electricity from owners of solar systems or are permitted to lower the amounts paid, the market for solar systems may be impaired. Because net metering can enable the solar system owner to further reduce the cost of electricity by selling excess electricity to the utility company, any elimination or reduction of this benefit would reduce the cost savings from solar energy. We cannot assure you that net metering will not be eliminated or the benefits significantly reduced for future solar systems which may dampen the market for solar energy.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b>Although we are not regulated as a utility company, changes in regulations may subject us to regulation as a utility.</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">We are presently exempt from regulation as a utility as we have &#8220;qualifying facility&#8221; status with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for all of our qualifying solar energy projects. Any local, state, federal or foreign regulations which classify us as a utility could place significant restrictions on our ability to operate our business by prohibiting or otherwise restricting our sale of electricity. If we were subject to the same state, federal or foreign regulatory authorities as utility companies in the United States or if new regulatory bodies were established to oversee our business in the United States or in foreign markets such as China, then our operating costs would materially increase, which would impair our ability to generate a profit from our business.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><b>Our business may be affected by increases in the price of solar energy products, including price increases resulting from the United States&#8217; trade and tariff policies.</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">The declining cost of solar panels has been a key factor in the pricing of our solar energy systems, which, in turn affects the potential customer&#8217;s decision to use solar energy. With any stabilization or increase of solar panel and other component prices, our ability to market our solar energy systems could be impaired, which would affect our revenues and gross profit. The cost of solar panels and raw materials could increase in the future due to tariff penalties or other factors. The U.S. government has imposed tariffs on solar cells solar panels and aluminum used in solar panels manufactured overseas. These tariffs have increased the price of solar panels containing foreign manufactured solar cells. At present we purchase solar panels containing solar cells and panels manufactured overseas for our United States installations. While solar panels containing solar cells manufactured inside the United States are not subject to these tariffs, the prices of these solar panels are, and may continue to be, more expensive than panels produced using overseas solar cells, before giving effect to the tariff penalties. If additional tariffs are imposed or other negotiated outcomes occur, our ability to purchase these products on competitive terms from those countries could be limited. Any of those events could impair our financial results by requiring us to account for the cost of trade penalties or to purchase solar panels or other system components from alternative, higher-priced sources.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp; <table id="pagebreak11b3ed96-0a6c-4766-b106-30a5287ab9dc" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center">14</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="#TABLE OF CONTENTS">Table of Contents</a></i></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b> We may be subject to liability if private information that we receive is not secure or if we violate privacy laws and regulations. </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"> We are or may become subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the United States and abroad regarding privacy, data security, cybersecurity and data protection.

Solar farms require a substantial amount of land, which could be in the range of 800 to 3,500 acres . It is also crucial to have a land parcel close to the grid connection point in order to control the cost for the construction of transmission lines and to avoid the electricity transmission loss. One solar farm for which we performed EPC services had to reduce the size of the project because of zoning issues and the inability to obtain land use rights to sufficient contiguous parcels of land to support the initial size of the project. The shortage of available land may also result in an increase in the cost of the land use rights as well as increased competition for the land use rights. Further, since the land is owned by the government, the government has the ability to determine what it determines to be the best use of the limited available land and it might determine that the land could be used for purposes other than solar farms. If we or solar farm owners cannot obtain sufficient land use rights at a reasonable cost, the solar farm owner may be reluctant to make the investment in solar farms which would impair our ability to generate revenue and operate profitably in China. Further, changes in the size of a project may result in increased costs as well as construction difficulties which we may be unable to pass on to our customers, resulting in a decrease in our gross margins.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">There is intense competition for a limited number of project sites that are appropriate for solar power projects.

Even if we sign investment agreements, we may not be able to find and secure the use rights to suitable project sites for the relevant projects. We generally obtain land use rights for our ground-mounted projects through land use right grants or assignment by the government or leasing from the land use right owners , and obtain the access and use rights for our solar power projects through leasing from the roof top owners. Our rights to the properties used for our solar power projects may be challenged by property owners or other third parties, in case of any disputes over the ownership or lease of the properties. It is critical to maintain our land use rights on the land parcels and access and use rights on the roof tops during the life cycle of solar power projects.

The prices have been declining, and we cannot assure you that the price reductions will not continue or that price reductions will not increase substantially. The cash flow that the owner receives from the utility company is critical in determining whether the project will be profitable to the owner. If the potential revenue stream is not sufficient to meet the owner&#8217;s return, taking into account the cost of the project, the cost of the land use rights and the other operating costs, the owner may be unwilling to develop a solar farm or it may be necessary for us to reduce our charges in order to generate the revenue, which could significantly reduce our gross margin on the project and could result in a negative gross margin. Decreases in the potential revenue stream may also significantly affect the terms on which we could provide maintenance services for a solar farm following its completion. Further, it is possible that the Electricity Bureau could set prices at a level which makes it uneconomical to operate a solar farm, in which event we would not be able to continue in this business.

Unlike the solar systems that we sell in the United States, which are relatively small in scale and generally provide power for one home or building, the solar farms in China operate on significantly larger scales. Thus, while a typical residential or small business installation in the United States generally generates between 6.5KW and 0.2MW of power, the solar farms in China can generate between 30MW and 100MW of power. In the event that we operate solar farms for our own account, which would involve constructing the solar farm for our own account and selling the electricity either to end users or to the local utility company, we will be subject to significant additional regulations by the applicable Chinese authorities and we will require significant additional funding for such purpose. We do not plan to use any of the proceeds from this offering to construct solar farms for our own account. Prior to 2013, we entered into power purchase agreements that have a term of up to 20 years.

Identifying, recruiting and training qualified personnel requires significant time, expense and attention. If we are unable to hire, develop and retain qualified personnel or if our personnel are unable to achieve the desired level of productivity for a reasonable period of time, we may have difficulty in developing our business. Competition for qualified personnel in our industry is increasing, particularly for skilled installers and other personnel involved in the installation of solar energy systems. We also compete with the homebuilding and construction industries for skilled labor. As these industries recover and seek to hire additional workers, our cost of labor may increase. The unionization of our labor force could also increase our labor costs. Shortages of skilled labor could significantly delay a project or otherwise increase our costs. Because our profit on a particular installation is based in part on assumptions as to the cost of such project, cost overruns, delays or other execution issues may cause us to not achieve our expected margins or cover our costs for that project. In addition, we compete for a limited pool of technical and engineering resources in both the United States and China that requires us to pay wages that are competitive with relatively high regional standards for employees in these fields. We not only compete for highly qualified personnel, but we also face other companies seeking to hire our personnel, particularly our highly skilled personnel. If we cannot meet our hiring, retention and efficiency goals, we may be unable to complete our customers&#8217; projects on time, in an acceptable manner, if at all. Any significant failures in this regard would materially impair our growth, reputation, business and financial results.

For our residential projects, we are the general contractor, construction manager and installer. For our commercial projects, we are the general contractor and construction manager, and we typically rely on some licensed subcontractors to support some of our solar panel installs. In either case we are responsible for the completion of the project and must take steps to make sure that we and our subcontractors comply with all applicable laws and regulations. We may be liable to customers for any damage we cause to their home or facility, or belongings or property during the installation of our systems. In addition, shortages of skilled labor for our commercial projects could significantly delay a project or otherwise increase our costs. Because our profit on a particular installation is based in part on assumptions we make as to the cost of such project, cost overruns, delays or other execution issues may impair our ability to generate the gross margins that we are seeking. In addition, the installation of solar energy systems and the evaluation and modification of buildings as part of our energy efficiency business is subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with national, state and local laws and ordinances relating to building codes, safety, environmental protection, utility interconnection and metering, and related matters. It is difficult and costly to track the requirements of every individual authority with jurisdiction over our installations and to design solar energy systems to comply with these varying standards. Any new government regulations or utility policies pertaining to our systems may result in significant additional expenses to us and our customers and, as a result, could cause a significant reduction in demand for our systems.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b>Our financing activities are dependent upon the continued development of a market for solar systems as well as factors that affect the lending industry generally.</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">We generate revenue in the United States from the sale of both residential and commercial solar systems and from financing sales of systems sold by us.

If we fail to develop or maintain our relationships with these or our other suppliers, or if the suppliers are not able to meet our quality, quantity and delivery schedules, we may not be able to meet our delivery and installation schedules for our systems and we may be unable to enter into new contracts with potential customers, thus impairing our revenue base. Any increases in price would affect our ability to market our systems or generate acceptable gross margins. We cannot assure you that Sunspark will be able to meet our quality, quantity and delivery requirements or that we will be able to find alternate suppliers that can meet our quality, quantity, deliver and price requirement . The failure to find alternate suppliers could materially affect our ability to conduct our business.

Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on the economic conditions within the PRC. Although the PRC government has stated that that economic development will follow the model of a market economy, the concept of a market economy in the PRC is different from the way a market economy is understood in the United States. While we believe that this trend toward a market economy, as understood by the PRC government, will continue, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. A change in policies by the PRC government could adversely affect our interests by, among other factors: changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation thereof, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or the expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises. Further, the availability of credit in the PRC can have a major impact on the ability of companies to purchase or otherwise acquire capital assets. While the Chinese economy has grown significantly in the past 30 years, the growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Chinese economy but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting the PRC&#8217;s political, economic and social environment. While the Chinese economy has grown significantly in the past 30 years, the growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Chinese economy but may also have a negative effect on us. The interpretation of some of these measures, including tax measures, is both complex and evolving and it may be difficult to ascertain, with any degree of certainty, whether we are in compliance. Our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by the effects of government control over capital investments or changes in and interpretations of tax, currency and other regulations that are applicable to us. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><b>A slowdown or other adverse developments in the PRC economy may harm our customers and the demand for our products.</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">Although the PRC economy has grown significantly in the past two decades, there is no assurance that this growth will continue and there have been recent periods of declining growth. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn, a recession or other adverse economic developments in the PRC could significantly reduce the demand for projects such as ours. The Chinese economy in general, and the market for solar farms, in particular, may be adversely affected by the effects of reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese goods and by China on United States goods. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><b>If relations between the United States and China worsen, investors may be unwilling to hold or buy our stock and our stock price may decrease</b>.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had significant disagreements over political and economic issues.

Rapid economic growth can lead to inflation. Any adverse change in the terms on which we construct solar energy projects or sell electricity generated by our China operations may impair our ability to operate profitably in China. Factors such as rapid expansion and inflation have led to the adoption by the PRC government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause the PRC government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <table id="pagebreakcf5251f3-edae-4bf8-8655-902f69e8018c" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center">24</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="#TABLE OF CONTENTS">Table of Contents</a></i></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><b>The fluctuation of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on your investment.</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">The change in value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by various factors, including changes in China&#8217;s political and economic conditions. On July&nbsp;21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under such policy, the Renminbi was permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. Later on, the People&#8217;s Bank of China decided to implement further reform of the RMB exchange regime to enhance the flexibility of RMB exchange rates. Such changes in policy have resulted in a significant appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar since 2005. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant adjustment of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">Any significant appreciation or revaluation of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of, and any dividends payable on, shares of our common stock in foreign currency terms. More specifically, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us. To the extent that we need to convert the U.S. dollar we receive from any public offering of our common stock into RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount we would receive from the conversion. In addition, appreciation or depreciation in the exchange rate of the RMB to the U.S. dollar could materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock in U.S. dollars without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><b>Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenue effectively. </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">Our revenue from our China operations is denominated in RMB. Our China operations currently account for most of our revenue. Accordingly, restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to use earnings generated in China to fund any business activities we may have outside China in the future or to make dividend payments to our shareholders in U.S. dollar. Under current PRC laws and regulations, RMB is freely convertible for current account items, such as trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions and dividend distributions. However, RMB is not freely convertible for direct investment or loans or investments in securities outside China, unless such use is approved by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (&#8220;SAFE&#8221;). For example, foreign exchange transactions under our subsidiaries&#8217; capital accounts , including principal payments in respect of foreign currency-denominated obligations, remain subject to significant foreign exchange controls and the approval requirement of SAFE. SolarMax Shanghai and ZHPV have completed all necessary filing to qualify as a foreign investment enterprise according to the requirements of SAFE.

Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions in a civil law system may be cited as reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, newly introduced PRC laws and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections of interest relating to foreign investments in China. However, since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system is continuing to evolve, the interpretations of such laws and regulations may not always be consistent, and enforcement of these laws and regulations involves significant uncertainties, any of which could limit available legal protections.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">In addition, the PRC administrative and judicial authorities have significant discretion in interpreting, implementing or enforcing statutory rules and contractual terms, and it may be more difficult to predict the outcome of administrative and judicial proceedings and the level of legal protection we may enjoy in the PRC&nbsp;than under some more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may affect our decisions on the policies and actions to be taken to comply with PRC laws and regulations, and may affect our ability to enforce our contractual or tort rights. In addition, the regulatory uncertainties may be exploited through unmerited legal actions or threats in an attempt to extract payments or benefits from us.

In 1982, the National People&#8217;s Congress amended the Constitution of China to authorize foreign investment and guarantee the &#8220;lawful rights and interests&#8221; of foreign investors in the PRC. However, the PRC&#8217;s system of laws is not yet comprehensive. The legal and judicial systems in the PRC are still rudimentary, and enforcement of existing laws is inconsistent. As a result, it may be impossible to obtain swift and equitable enforcement of laws that do exist, or to obtain enforcement of the judgment of one court by a court of another jurisdiction. The PRC&#8217;s legal system is based on the civil law regime, which means that it is based on written statutes. A decision by one judge does not set a legal precedent that is required to be followed by judges in other cases. In addition, the interpretation of Chinese laws may be varied to reflect domestic political changes. The promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws and the pre-emption of local regulations by national laws may adversely affect foreign investors. There can be no assurance that a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC&#8217;s political, economic or social life, will not affect the PRC government&#8217;s ability to continue to support and pursue these reforms.

For example, the MOFCOM must be notified in the event a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise. In addition, certain acquisitions of domestic companies by offshore companies that are related to or affiliated with the same entities or individuals of the domestic companies, are subject to approval by the MOFCOM. In addition, the Implementing Rules Concerning Security Review on Mergers and Acquisitions by Foreign Investors of Domestic Enterprises, issued by the MOFCOM in August 2011, require that mergers and acquisitions by foreign investors in &#8220;any industry with national security concerns&#8221; be subject to national security review by MOFCOM.

Our operations in China are governed by various laws and regulations, including national and local regulations relating to urban and rural planning, building codes, safety, environmental protection, fire control, utility transmission, engineering and metering and related matters. For example, the establishment of a solar power project is subject to the approval of the National Development and Reform Commission (&#8220;NDRC&#8221;) or its local branches, pursuant to the Administrative Provisions on Generation of Electricity by Renewable Energy Resources promulgated by the NDRC on January 5, 2006. Pursuant to the Provisions on the Administration of Electric Power Business Permit, which became effective on December 1, 2005 and were amended on May 30, 2015, certain solar power projects may be required to obtain the electric power business permits specifically for power generation from the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, known as SERC. Pursuant to the Interim Measures for the Administration of Solar Power Projects, promulgated by the National Energy Administration, known as the NEA, on August 29, 2013, solar power projects are subject to filings with the provincial NDRC. Such filing is subject to the national development plan for solar power generation, the regional scale index and implementation plan of the year as promulgated by the competent national energy authority and is a pre-condition for connecting to the power grid. Pursuant to the Interim Measures for the Administration of Distributed Generation Projects, or the Distributed PV Interim Measures, promulgated by the NEA on November 18, 2013, distributed generation projects are subject to filings with the provincial or regional NDRC. Such filing is subject to State Council&#8217;s rules for administration of investment projects and the regional scale index and implementation plan of the year as promulgated by the competent national energy authority. Distributed Generation projects in the regional scale index of the year that are not completed or put into operation within two years from their respective filing date are cancelled and disqualified from receiving national subsidies. The Distributed PV Interim Measures also provide that the filing procedures should be simplified and the electric power business permit and permits in relation to land planning, environmental impact review, energy saving evaluation and other supporting documents may be waived. Detailed requirements of the filing are also subject to local regulations, and the effects of the Distributed PV Interim Measures on our business are yet to be evaluated. Pursuant to the Standard Conditions of Photovoltaic Production Industry, or the Photovoltaic Production Rule, promulgated by the PRC&#8217;s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (&#8220;MIIT&#8221;) and, effective on March 25, 2015, the minimum proportion of capital funds contributed by the producer for newly built, renovation and expansion photovoltaic (&#8220;PV&#8221;) production projects shall be 20%. The Photovoltaic Production Rule also provides, among other matters, requirements in relation to the production scale, cell efficiency, energy consumption and operational life span of various PV products .

Any new government regulations pertaining to solar power projects may result in significant additional expenses to the development, construction and operation of solar power projects and, as a result, could cause a significant reduction in demand for our solar power projects and services.

According to the Notice on Strengthening Administration of Enterprise Income Tax for Share Transfers by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises issued by the PRC State Administration of Taxation on December 10, 2009, or SAT Circular 698, when a non-resident enterprise transfers the equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise indirectly through a disposition of equity interests in an overseas holding company, or an Indirect Transfer, the non-resident enterprise, as the seller, may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax of up to 10% of the gains derived from the Indirect Transfer in certain circumstances.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">On February 3, 2015, the PRC&#8217;s State Administration of Taxation (&#8220;SAT&#8221;) issued Announcement on Several Issues Concerning the Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Property Transfers by Non-RPC Resident Enterprises, or SAT Notice No. 7, to supersede the existing tax rules in relation to the tax treatment of the Indirect Transfer, while the other provisions of SAT Circular 698 that are irrelevant to the Indirect Transfer remain in force. SAT Notice No. 7 introduces a new tax regime and extends the SAT&#8217;s tax jurisdiction to capture not only the Indirect Transfer as set forth under SAT Circular 698 but also transactions involving indirect transfer of (i) real properties in China and (ii) assets of an &#8220;establishment or place&#8221; situated in China, by a non-PRC resident enterprise through a disposition of equity interests in an overseas holding company. SAT Notice No. 7 also extends the interpretation with respect to the disposition of equity interests in an overseas holding company. In addition, SAT Notice No. 7 further clarifies how to assess reasonable commercial purposes and introduces safe harbors applicable to internal group restructurings. However, it also brings challenges to both the foreign transferors and transferees as they are required to make self-assessments of whether an Indirect Transfer or similar transaction should be subject to PRC tax and whether they should file or withhold any tax payment accordingly. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">However, as these notices are relatively new and there is a lack of clear statutory interpretation, there are uncertainties on the reporting and consequences on future private equity financing transactions, share exchange or other transactions involving the transfer of shares in our company by investors that are non-PRC resident enterprises, or sale or purchase of shares in other non-PRC resident companies or other taxable assets by us. We and other non-resident enterprises in our group may be subject to filing obligations or taxes if we and other non-resident enterprises in our group are transferors in such transactions and may be subject to withholding obligations if we and other non-resident enterprises in our group are transferees in such transactions. For the transfer of shares in our company by investors that are non-PRC resident enterprises, our PRC subsidiaries may be requested to assist in filing under the rules and notices. We may be required to expend costly resources to comply with SAT Circular 698 and SAT Notice No. 7, or to establish a case to be tax exempt under SAT Circular 698 and SAT Notice No. 7, which may cause us to incur additional costs and may have a negative impact on the value of your investment in us.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">The PRC tax authorities have discretion under SAT Circular 698 and SAT Notice No. 7 to make adjustments to the taxable capital gains based on the difference between the fair value of the transferred equity interests and the investment cost.

If we are considered as a non-PRC resident enterprise under the EIT Law and if the PRC tax authorities make adjustments to the taxable income of the transactions under SAT Circular 698 and SAT Notice No. 7, our income tax expenses associated with such potential acquisitions will be increased, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b>Risks Related to the Offering and our Common Stock</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><b>The initial public offering price of our common stock may not be indicative of the market price of our common stock after this offering. </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">Prior to this offering, our common stock was not traded on any market.

Our net tangible book value deficit as of March 31, 2018 , was approximately $123,000, or $0.00 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our tangible net worth (tangible assets less total liabilities) by the total number of shares of common stock that were outstanding on March 31, 2018. After giving effect to the sale by us of 1,000,000 shares of common stock in May 2018, our pro forma net tangible book value at March 31, 2018 was approximately $4.9 million, or $0.12 per share. After giving effect to the sale of the shares in this offering (assuming the midpoint of the range on the cover of this prospectus and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses), our adjusted pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2018 was approximately $x.x million, or $x.xx per share. This represents an immediate increase in the pro forma net tangible book value of $ per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution (i.e., the difference between the offering price and the adjusted pro forma net tangible book value after this offering) to new investors purchasing shares in this offering of $ per share:</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <table style="WIDTH: 100%;

Also on April 28, 2015, we acquired the ownership of ZHPV through a share exchange agreement among us and the holders of the stock of Accumulate, which, through Accumulate Hong Kong, owned ZHPV. We own all of the stock of Accumulate, which, in turn, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Accumulate Hong Kong, owns all of the stock of ZHPV.

ZHPV obtained the EPC contract for both the Ningxia and Shandong project and completed the projects in 2014. Neither ZHTH nor ZHPV generated any significant revenue during 2015 prior to our acquisition. When we acquired ZHTH in April 2015, ZHTH had a permit backlog, which we valued at approximately $1.3 million and which represented a total of 130MW of contract backlog. The permit backlog is an intangible asset that we amortized proportionately with our cash flows generated from this permit backlog through December 31, 2017 . At December 31, 2017, the permit backlog was fully amortized .</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">Our business in China is conducted through three principle subsidiaries, ZHTH, ZHPV and Jiangsu Honghao and their subsidiaries. ZHTH is engaged in the business of identifying and procuring solar system projects for resale to third party developers and related services in China. After we acquire the permits for a solar project through a project subsidiary and obtain a contract for the sale of the project, ZHPV builds the projects pursuant to an EPC contract. The subsidiary that owns the equity in the project subsidiary transfers the equity in the project subsidiary to the project owner. The project owner then engages ZHPV to perform the EPC services for the solar farm. We seek to obtain a further contract to operate and maintain the system after the solar farm project is completed. The operation and maintenance services are performed by Jiangsu Honghao and its subsidiaries. Unlike systems in the United States, which are installations for residential and small business users, the projects in China are solar farms, which are large land areas where multiple ground-mount solar tracking towers are installed. We have commenced the installation of residential and commercial systems in China, although revenue from such business has not been significant. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">ZHPV also performs EPC services on a contract basis, for solar farm owners who do not require a permit from us.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"> &nbsp; During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, our revenue in the United States was derived primarily from the sale of solar systems, principally residential sales, which accounted for $6.2 million, or 50.3% of revenue, in the March 2018 quarter and $5.5 million, or 41.4% of revenue, in the March 2017 quarter. Financing revenue, which includes principally interest revenue from loans to purchasers of our solar systems, accounted for $431,000, or 3.5% of revenue, in the March 2018 quarter; and $536,000, or 4.0% of revenue, in the March 2017 quarter. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"> During 2017 and 2016, our revenue in the United States was derived primarily from the sale of solar systems, principally residential sales, which accounted for $27.3 million, or 30.7% of revenue, in 2017 and $28.0 million, or 35.5% of revenue, in 2016. Financing revenue, which includes principally interest revenue from loans to purchasers of our solar systems, accounted for $2.0 million, or 2.2% of revenue, in 2017; and $2.2 million, or 2.8% of revenue, in 2016. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"> We commenced operations in China during 2016. To date, substantially all of the revenue from our China segment was generated by EPC services for related parties. In the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, our EPC operations generated revenue of $5.0 million, or 40.4% of revenues, and $5.0 million, or 37.9% of revenues, respectively. In 2017 and 2016, our EPC operations generated revenues of $54.5 million, or 61.3% of revenue, and $48.0, or 60.9% of revenues. Almost all of the EPC revenue was generated from solar farm projects with subsidiaries of AMD, a related party. AMD, a publicly-traded company in China, is one of our principal stockholders and its chairman and chief executive officer is one of our directors. We recognized our revenues in China on the EPC services using the percentage of completion method based on the percentage of actual costs incurred to total budgeted costs. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"> &nbsp;We had a consolidated net loss of $5.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $5.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and used cash flows from operations of $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $2.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our China operations had net income of $220,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and a net loss of $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017. Contributing to the consolidated net loss are the non-cash charges related to the grants of restricted stock and stock options to officers, directors, certain employees, non-employees and consultants in October 2016 of $2.2 million in the March 2018 quarter and $1.8 million in the March 2017 quarter, that will continue to have an impact on earnings through 2020. Our net loss for the March 2018 quarter also included the impact of non-cash asset impairment losses of $549,000 related to our long-lived solar assets. &nbsp;The non-cash charges from the grant of restricted stock and stock options are expenses of our United States segment. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px"> We had consolidated net losses of $20.6 million in 2017 and $13.2 million in 2016 and used cash flows from operations of $5.5 million in 2017 and $4.5 million in 2016.

Contributing to the 2017 and 2016 consolidated net loss is $8.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of non-cash charges related to the grants of restricted stock and stock options to officers, directors, certain employees and non-employees in October 2016 which will continue to have an impact on the earnings through 2020 as we amortize these non-cash charges. Our 2017 net loss also included the impact of non-cash asset impairment losses of $1.6 million related to our long-lived solar assets and our unconsolidated investments. Our 2016 net loss included $914,000 of accrued contract loss for a major LED contract signed in 2016 that was completed in 2017. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in">We have a supply agreement with Sunspark in which we agreed to purchase 150MW of solar panels over a three-year period beginning June 2016 at a price to be negotiated, but not to exceed 110% of the three - month rolling average market price per watt for an estimated total commitment of approximately $84.0 million based on the most recent price paid on a purchase order from Sunspark. The agreement stipulates a 30MW minimum supply commitment per year, which will cost approximately $16.8 million based on the most recent price paid on a purchase order from Sunspark, with the first year being the year beginning June 2016. In April 2017, our China operations made purchases of 50MW under this commitment for RMB 160.125 million (approximately $23 million), which was used for our second solar farm project, Guizhou Pu&#8217;an, and which satisfied our first year commitment. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <table id="pagebreak6189d5e6-318c-48b9-b19f-ae4ddefbd2c7" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center">41</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="#TABLE OF CONTENTS">Table of Contents</a></i></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">ZHTH, acquired, through project subsidiaries, the rights to construct solar farms in Guizhou, China which we refer to as Guizhou Qingshuihe and Guizhou Pu&#8217;an . Guizhou is one of the southern provinces in China. Because of Chinese regulations relating to permits for solar farms, we obtain a permit for a solar farm in the name of a project subsidiary and we transfer the equity in the subsidiary to the buyer of the solar farm project. The sale of equity in the project subsidiaries is generally based on the net assets of the entity and does not produce significant gains or losses. The sales price for the project subsidiary is not included in our revenue because the sale is treated as a sale of an asset . We recognize any gain or loss as other income.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">In February 2016, we signed an agreement with an AMD subsidiary pursuant to which this subsidiary engaged ZHPV to perform the EPC services for its Guizhou Qingshuihe solar farm. The solar farm was initially designed to generate 70MW of power and the contract price, exclusive of value added taxes, or VAT, was approximately RMB 528.0 million (approximately $80.0 million). Due to the limitation of available land use, the size of the project was reduced to 55MW, with a contract price of RMB 425 million (approximately $64 million). The Guizhou Qingshuihe solar farm project was completed as of December 31, 2017. We recognize revenue on our EPC services on the percentage of completion basis. Our gross prices include value added taxes, known as VAT. Although we do not include VAT as either revenues or cost of revenues, the contract prices to our customers in the PRC include VAT and, accordingly, the prices in this prospectus include VAT.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">In October 2016, ZHPV executed an EPC contract with the second subsidiary of AMD for another 50MW solar farm project in Guizhou, China, which is referred to as Guizhou Pu&#8217;an. The contract price was originally RMB 322.5 million (approximately $49.0 million) and was reduced in February 2017 to RMB 312.5 million (approximately $47.0 million). In September 2017, a change order was entered into to increase the size of the project by another 5MW for a total of 55MW. We commenced construction of this project in December 2016.

The total system size for the 11 sites is 660 kilowatts with a contract value of RMB 5.1 million (approximately $750,000). The retainage for the five-year construction warranty would be 10% or RMB 0.5 million, with 20% to be released at the end of each the first five years. Because of its small size and short construction period, this contract is accounted for under the completed contract method and we expect that it will be completed in 2018. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"> In December 2017, ZHPV and ZHTH, entered into contracts with Yilong AMD New Energy Co., Ltd., an affiliate of AMD for EPC services on a 30MW solar farm project in Guizhou Yilong province.

ended March 31, 2018 were $12.3 million, a decrease of $942,000 , or 7%, from $ 13.3 million in the comparable period of 2017. The decrease is largely the result of a $1.6 million decrease in LED revenue resulting from the non-recurring revenue from one government contract in the March 2017 quarter, which was partially offset by a $719,000 increase in revenues from solar energy sales in the United States segment. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we deployed 2.0MW on 282 completed systems in the United Sates, compared with 1.7MW on 223 completed systems in the comparable prior period. Our average solar revenue per watt is $3.18 in the three months ended March 31, 2018, a 3.9% decrease from $3.31 in the March 2017 quarter, which reflects the expected decrease in solar pricing resulting from increased competition. Solar revenue per watt represents the revenue generated during the period from sales of solar systems divided by the wattage installed during the period. Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 includes finance-related revenues of $431,000 and $536,000, respectively . </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt" align="justify"> During the&nbsp; three months ended March 31, 2018, our revenue from our China segment related to the EPC revenue, primarily from one solar farm project, the Guizhou Yilong project, and, to a significantly lesser extent, from the operation and maintenance revenue on Guizhou Qingshuihe and Guizhou Pu&#8217;an projects which were completed in 2017. In the March 2017 quarter, our EPC revenue was primarily derived from two solar farm projects, Guizhou Qingshuihe and Guizhou Pu&#8217;an. Our EPC revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $5.0 million, a 1% decrease from $5.0 million in the March 2017 quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we completed 5.54MW, an 8% increase from 5.13MW in the prior period. Our average revenue per watt is $0.88 in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $0.93 in the prior period, a decrease of 5%, primarily as a result of a 12% lower sale price per watt on the Guizhou Yilong project compared to the average sale price on the Guizhou Qingshuihe and Guizhou Pu&#8217;an projects in the March 2017 quarter. As of March 31, 2018, Guizhou Yilong project was 16% complete based on total project costs incurred to total project costs budgeted. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we also earned operation and maintenance and other service revenue of $126,000 compared to $65,000 in the March 2017 quarter. </p>&nbsp; <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><em>Cost of revenue and gross profit</em></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">Cost of revenue for our United States operations decreased 16% from $6.9 million in the comparable prior period to $5.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018, largely as a result of a $1.8 million decrease in cost associated with LED reflecting the reduced LED revenue,  and a $655,000 increase in cost related to solar energy sales resulting from the increase in solar energy revenue during the period. Our cost per watt for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is $2.70, a 3% decrease from $2. 79 in the March 2017 quarter. During the March 2017 quarter we incurred a negative gross profit on a one-time government contract for LED. Our gross margin for the United States operations increased to 21% in the three months ended March 31, 2018, from 16% a year ago , largely reflecting the impact in the prior period of negative profit margin on the LED business.

but not to exceed 110% of the three - month rolling average market price per watt for an estimated total commitment of approximately $84.0 million based on the most recent price paid on a purchase order from Sunspark. The agreement stipulates that we will make minimum annual purchases of at least 30MW, which will cost approximately $16.8 million based on the most recent price paid on a purchase order from Sunspark, with the first year being the year ending May 31, 2017. In April 2017, we made purchases under the agreement for 50MW at the purchase price of RMB 160.125 million (approximately $23.1 million) to be used on our Guizhou Pu&#8217;an solar farm project. We met our required minimum purchases for our first commitment year ending May 31, 2017. Sunspark orally agreed that we may complete our purchase obligations for the year ended May 31, 2018 by December 31, 2018 and we have not discussed with Sunspark the timing of our commitment for 2019.

The agreement has a five-year term during which we would be the exclusive worldwide (except for Asia) distributor of Li-Max Energy Storage System. We believe this product will complement our existing solar systems and commercial LED lighting in the United States. The agreement contains an initial purchase commitment of 375 units, which is approximately $1.1 million, of Li-Max Energy System within the first six months of the term of the agreement. In the event that we fail to purchase 60% of this commitment within the six month period, Li-Max can require us to purchase the shortfall within 60 days. If we don&#8217;t meet this commitment Li-Max has the right to terminate the agreement. The agreement provides for a ten-year warranty from Li-Max. As of March 31, 2018, we had not met the minimum purchase commitment due to the vendor&#8217;s inability to obtain the UL certificate of its products until July 2017.

Under these arrangements, we own the systems and receive the 30% federal grant, as well as any state and utility company rebates on the systems we own. Upfront rebates and incentives were applied to reduce our cost of the systems. All other annual rebates and performance-based incentive rebates are recognized in revenue when received. In connection with our ownership of solar systems primarily in New Jersey, we own a number of Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (&#8220;SREC&#8221;).

Pursuant to this agreement, we introduce potential leasing customers to Sunrun. Sunrun pays us for our services in connection with the projects. Upon a customer signing a Sunrun lease, we purchase the equipment from Sunrun or another vendor from a list of preapproved equipment by Sunrun. We then perform the design and EPC work until the system receives the permit to operate. Sunrun pays us 80% of the purchase price of the system after the system receives the city sign off and the final 20% after receiving the permit to operate. Similar to the solar systems that we sell directly to residential and commercial customers, we recognize the revenue on the solar systems sold to Sunrun when the permit to operate is received. Sunrun owns the equipment, leases and also services the lease. Our relationship with the residential customer is only during the sales and installation process. The agreement with Sunrun prohibited us from marketing, selling or constructing solar systems to be leased to customers other than through Sunrun. These restrictions did not affect our financing operations. The agreement with Sunrun was amended in March 2018 to eliminate the exclusivity requirement . Sunrun may terminate the agreement if we fail to meet specified minimum volume requirements. Sunrun also has the right to terminate certain incentives contained in the agreement at any time.

The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step process to achieve that core principle. ASU 2014-09 requires disclosures enabling users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued <i>FASB ASU No. 2015-14, &#8220;Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date&#8221;</i>, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year.

ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued <i>ASU No. 2016-10, &#8220;Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.&#8221;</i> ASU 2016-10 clarifies the implementation guidance in Topic 606 for identifying performance obligations and determining when to recognize revenue on licensing agreements for intellectual property.

As part of this process we need to discuss the potential development with local government agencies, which may involve discussions with several departments. The local government agencies publish the availability of permits for solar farms, and we need to obtain the permit for the solar farm from the applicable government agency. We may also find the buyer who will own the solar farm. If we find a buyer to operate the solar farm, we would transfer the equity of the subsidiary related to the solar farm to the buyer.

Furthermore, on March 30, 2015, the SAFE issued the Circular on Reforming the Administration Approach Regarding the Foreign Exchange Capital Settlement of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular No.19, which became effective on June 1, 2015 and replaced Circular 142. SAFE Circular No.19 provides that, the conversion from foreign currency registered capital of foreign-invested enterprises into the Renminbi capital may be at foreign-invested enterprises&#8217; discretion, which means that the foreign currency registered capital of foreign-invested enterprises for which the rights and interests of monetary contribution has been confirmed by the local foreign exchange bureau (or the book-entry of monetary contribution has been registered) can be settled at the banks based on the actual operational needs of the enterprises. However, SAFE Circular No. 19 does not materially change the restrictions on the use of foreign currency registered capital of foreign-invested enterprises. For instance, it still prohibits foreign-invested enterprises from, among other things, spending RMB capital converted from its foreign currency registered capital on expenditures beyond its business scope.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <table id="pagebreak48684a69-db2f-447d-ab9d-59688d4e1fbd" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center">74</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="#TABLE OF CONTENTS">Table of Contents</a></i></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">In February 2012, the SAFE promulgated the Notice on the Administration of Foreign Exchange Matters for Domestic Individuals Participating in the Stock Incentive Plans of Overseas Listed Companies, or the Stock Option Notice.

The purpose of the Stock Incentive Plan Rules is to regulate foreign exchange administration of PRC domestic individuals who participate in employee stock holding plans and stock option plans of overseas listed companies. According to the Stock Incentive Plan Rules, if PRC &#8220;domestic individuals&#8221; (both PRC residents and non-PRC residents who reside in China for a continuous period of not less than one year, excluding the foreign diplomatic personnel and representatives of international organizations) that participate in any stock incentive plan of an overseas listed company, a PRC domestic qualified agent, which could be the PRC subsidiary of such overseas listed company, shall, among others things, file, on behalf of such individual, an application with SAFE to conduct the SAFE registration with respect to such stock incentive plan, and obtain approval for an annual allowance with respect to the purchase of foreign exchange in connection with stock holding or stock option exercises. In addition, SAFE Circular No. 37 also provides certain requirements and procedures for foreign exchange registration in relation to an equity incentive plan of a special purpose vehicle before listing. In this regard, if a non-listed special purpose vehicle grants equity incentives to its directors, supervisors, senior officers and employees in its domestic subsidiaries, the relevant domestic individual residents may register with SAFE before exercising their rights.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">The Stock Incentive Plan Rules and SAFE Circular 37 were promulgated only recently and many issues require further interpretation.

A photovoltaic system generates electricity directly from sunlight via an electric process that occurs naturally in certain types of materials. A system consists of one or more photovoltaic modules and an inverter. Photovoltaic modules, which are manufactured in different sizes and shapes, generate direct current (DC) electricity. The electricity current is then fed through an inverter to produce the alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used to power residences and commercial businesses. The major components of our solar energy systems include solar panels that convert sunlight into electrical current, inverters that convert the DC electrical output from the panels to AC current compatible with the electric grid, racking that attaches the solar panels to the roof or ground and electrical hardware that connects the solar energy system to the electric grid. The backup battery system is an optional system that is used by some of our clients who want to store solar power and use it when there is a disruption in electricity power for any reason. We currently install solar systems only in California. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">We provide and install both grid-tied and off-grid systems. Grid-tied systems remain connected to the electric grid, so that the energy generated by the system is sent back to the grid during the day and power is drawn back at night. The electric grid thus serves as a &#8220;storage device&#8221; for photovoltaic-generated power. If consumers use more power than is generated by their solar energy system, they can purchase power from the regional utility company. If consumers use less power than the system generates, they can sell the electricity back to their local utility companies and receive a credit on their electric bills. In order to sell power back to the utility company, the owners need to make an application to the utility company and the utility company then gives the owners a standard agreement covering the purchase of the excess power. Grid-tied systems generally represent the most common, affordable and feasible option for urban and suburban residences.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">Off-grid systems are not connected to the utility grid and therefore require battery backup.

In our standard form of contract, we specify a minimum annual production and provide that if the power generated by the system is less than 95% of the estimate, we will reimburse the owner for the cost of the shortfall. Because our obligations are not contingent upon external factors, such as sunlight, changes in weather patterns or increases in air pollution, these factors could affect the amount of solar power that is generated and could increase our exposure under the production guarantee.

These leases are operating leases and we own the systems, which we lease primarily to commercial customers. Although we no longer lease new systems, we continue to own the equipment subject to the existing leases. The leases do not include a production guarantee.

In January 2015, we entered into a channel agreement with Sunrun pursuant to which Sunrun appointed us as its sales representative to solicit orders for Sunrun&#8217;s products in portions of southern California. Pursuant to this agreement, we introduce potential leasing customers to Sunrun. Sunrun pays us for our services in connection with the projects. Upon a customer signing a Sunrun lease, we purchase the equipment from Sunrun or another vendor from a list of preapproved equipment by Sunrun. We then perform the design and EPC work until the system receives the permit to operate. Sunrun pays us 80% of the purchase price of the system after the system receives the city sign off and the final 20% after receiving the permit to operate. Similar to the solar systems that we sell directly to residential and commercial customers, we recognize the revenue on the solar systems sold to Sunrun when the permit to operate is received. Sunrun owns the equipment, leases the equipment and services the lease. When we complete the installation of the system, Sunrun performs an inspection to ensure the system meets Sunrun&#8217;s quality standards, and we are required to fix any issues identified by Sunrun that are caused by us.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt" align="justify">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">The agreement, which commenced in January 2015, has a term of three years and automatically renewed at the end of 2017.

Pursuant to these agreement, we were responsible for the design, permitting, financing and installation of a solar energy system on a customer&#8217;s property after which we sell the power generated to the customer at an agreed upon rate. To the extent that we do not generate sufficient power to meet our obligations, we may have to purchase power from a local utility company, which will be a cost of revenues. We receive the income from the sales of electricity pursuant to these agreements as well as any tax credits and other incentives generated from the system, and we are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the system for the duration of the agreement. At the end of the term, a customer may extend the agreement, have us remove the system or buy the solar energy system from us.

We believe that the increase in residential sales during March and April results from consumers&#8217; increased awareness of the tax benefits of solar energy system systems. We believe that the higher volume of sales in the summer months results from typically higher electrical bills in the summer, when electricity use is highest, which we think heightens consumers&#8217; awareness of the opportunity to reduce their energy costs in the future through the use of solar energy.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <table id="pagebreakf6c91d3b-b5f4-4cfa-b422-e5ea273cb9ea" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center">80</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="#TABLE OF CONTENTS">Table of Contents</a></i></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">We have historically experienced a slight increase for small commercial projects during the summer season.

We also compete with major companies, as well as a large number of smaller companies. We have experienced price erosion as a result of increased competition which has affected our gross margin. Because California has much sun and little rain, solar power companies seek to market in California rather than in states with less sun and more rain. We believe that the number of new solar energy installation companies that have entered the industry in California has increased significantly since 2008 when we commenced business, and the increased competition is reflected in lower margins as we may have to reduce our prices to generate business. We expect additional companies to enter the business in the future, considering that the entry barrier in this industry is relatively low and the government incentives currently remain high.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">We believe that competition is primarily based on price and, if financing is required, the availability and terms of financing, and, to a lesser extent, the ability to schedule installation to meet the customer&#8217;s schedule. Some of our competitors may offer financing with payments over a longer period and with either a lower down payment or no down payments, which may make them more attractive to potential customers. Although we intend to offer terms which we believe are competitive, if we maintain our proposed underwriting criteria, we may lose business to companies whose standards are less strict.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px"><b><em>Government Regulation</em></b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">Although we are not a regulated utility company, our operations are subject to regulation, supervision and licensing under various federal, state and local statutes, regulations and ordinances. Additionally, our business is materially affected by federal and state programs and policies related to financial incentives for solar energy users and providers.

Government policies, in the form of both regulation and incentives, have accelerated the adoption of solar technologies by businesses and consumers. We and our customers benefit from these regulations in the form of federal tax incentives, state utility rebates and depreciation. Because of the high cost of installing solar energy systems, the existence of tax incentives as well as regulations requiring utility companies to purchase excess power from solar energy systems connected to the grid are important incentives to the installation of a solar energy system.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"><u>Federal Tax Incentive.</u> The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act gives effect to the Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit and the Business Energy Investment Tax Credit programs. The Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit is described as a personal tax credit, whereas the Business Energy Investment Tax Credit is identified as a corporate tax credit. These programs may allow the owner of the system a federal income tax credit of up to 30% of the approved cost of the installation of a solar energy system. This tax credit is now available to homeowners in some form through 2021. The tax credit remains at 30% of the cost of the system for 2016 through 2019. Owners of new residential and commercial solar can deduct 26% of the cost of the system from their taxes in 2020. This percentage decreases to 22% in 2021 and 10% in 2022.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"><u>State Incentives and Utility Company Rebates.</u> In addition to federal income tax credit, utility companies in California and other states offer various incentives and rebate programs. Capital cost rebates provide funds to customers based on the cost and size of a customer&#8217;s solar energy system. The value of the rebate is subtracted from the total purchase price, resulting in a net adjusted cost for the purpose of determining the value of the federal tax credit. Performance-based rebates provide funding to customers based on the energy produced by their systems. Under a feed-in tariff subsidy, the government sets prices that regulated utility companies are required to pay for renewable electricity generated by end-users. Under that subsidy program, prices are set above market rates and may be differentiated based on system size or application. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"> The building standard approved by the California Energy Commission in May 2018 mandates the installation of solar arrays on new single-family residences and on multi-family buildings of up to three stories starting in 2020. This new standard will be reviewed by the California Building Standards Commission, which is expected in the fall of 2018. Although the Building Standards Commission traditionally accepts California Energy Commission recommendations without change, we cannot assure you that the Building Standards Commission will approve this standard or that the standard will survive any legal challenges which may be brought in opposition to the standard. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <table id="pagebreaka33bfea6-c747-4216-8823-76e4cdf8b171" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center">84</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="#TABLE OF CONTENTS">Table of Contents</a></i></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px"><u>Depreciation.</u> Solar projects typically qualify for a five-year accelerated depreciation, which provides a major financial incentive for our commercial customers. The depreciation of these systems can be up to 50% of the purchase price in the first year and 12.5% in each of the succeeding four years. In December 2015, Congress passed a five-year extension of bonus depreciation, including a phase-out that is structured as follows: 2015-2017: 50% bonus depreciation; 2018: 40%; 2019: 30%, 2020 and beyond: 0%.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"><u>Tariffs and Trade Policies.</u> The solar energy industry has recently experienced decreasing prices in solar panels, a principal component in any solar energy system. Most solar panels are imported and the price of the solar panels is impacted by trade policies, such as tariffs and quotas. The U.S. government has imposed tariffs on solar cells, solar panels and aluminum that is used in solar panels manufactured overseas. Based on determinations by the U.S. government under the 2012 solar trade case, the anti-dumping and countervailing tariff rates range from approximately 33%-255%. Such anti-dumping and countervailing tariffs are subject to annual review and may be increased or decreased. These tariffs have increased the price of solar panels containing China -manufactured solar cells. We do not purchase panels from China or Taiwan for our United States operations. The purchase price of solar panels containing solar cells manufactured in China reflects these tariff penalties. While solar panels containing solar cells manufactured outside of China are not subject to these tariffs, the prices of these solar panels are, and may continue to be, more expensive than panels produced using Chinese solar cells, before giving effect to the tariff penalties.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"> On January 23, 2018, the United States placed tariffs on imported solar cells and modules for a period of four years with an effective date of February 7, 2018. The tariff level was set at 30%, with a 5% declining rate per year for the four- year term of the tariff. The tariff includes a 2.5 GW exemption for cells per year, which does not include any sub quotas for individual countries. Additionally, the only countries excluded from the tariff are those that the U.S government deems as developing nations, with the exception of the Philippines and Thailand, that are eligible for the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences program. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">While the state and federal incentives benefit our industry by making solar energy systems more affordable and attractive to consumers, they also expose the industry to the risk of negative consequences should these incentives be discontinued or reduced. The market for solar energy products is, and will continue to be, heavily dependent on public policies that support growth of solar energy. There can be no assurances that such policies will continue. Decreases in the level of rebates, incentives or other governmental support for solar energy would materially and adversely affect the demand for solar energy products, including our business.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px"><b><i> California Consumer Privacy Act </i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px"> In June 2018, California passed the CCPA, which becomes effective in 2020.&nbsp; As a practical matter, companies need to have their data tracking systems in place by the start of 2019, since the law gives consumers the right to request all the data a company has collected on them over the previous 12 months. This law covers all companies that serve California residents and have at least $25 million in annual revenue.&nbsp; Under the law, any California consumer has a right to demand to see all the information a company has saved on the consumer, as well as a full list of all the third parties that data is shared with.&nbsp; The consumer also has the right to request that the company delete the information it has on the resident. The CCPA broadly defined broadly defines &#8220;protected data.&#8221;&nbsp;The CCPA also has specific requirements for companies subject to the law. For example, the law specifies that companies must have a clear and conspicuous link on their websites to a page from which consumers may exercise their right to opt out of data sharing. The CCPA provides for a private right of action for unauthorized access, theft or disclosure of personal information in certain situations, with possible damage awards of $100 to $750 per consumer per incident, or actual damages, whichever is greater. The CCPA also permits class action lawsuits. Because the law was recently adopted, we have not been able to determine the extent to which the law applies to us, our website and our privacy policies. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <table id="pagebreak90da7c22-3435-4f41-91dd-d93aba5ae131" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr"></td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center">85</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="#TABLE OF CONTENTS">Table of Contents</a></i></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b>Intellectual Property</b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">We do not have any intellectual property that is material to our business.</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b> Legal </b><b> Proceedings </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 33.75pt"> On May 23, 2018, we commenced an action in the Superior Court of California in Riverside County against Act One Investments, Inc., Daniel Shih, the former chief executive officer of Act One Investments, Forland Industrial, Inc., Christine Lien, Peter Lien and Annie Lien, who are former employees of our subsidiary, SolarMax LED, and other named individuals believed to be affiliated with Act One Investments, alleging<b>,</b>&nbsp;among other claims, breach of contract, fraud, and misappropriation of trade secrets.&nbsp; The claims arose out of (i)&nbsp;our purchase of the assets of Act One Investments and its subsidiaries pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated May 31, 2013 pursuant to which we acquired the business which is now our LED business, (ii) the wrongful conduct of defendants as inducement for us to enter into the asset purchase agreement and (iii) wrongful conduct by certain of the individual defendants as our employees.

An issuing corporation is defined as a Nevada corporation with 200 or more stockholders of record, of which at least 100 stockholders have addresses of record in Nevada and does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. NRS Section 78.379 provides that an acquiring person and those acting in association with an acquiring person obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of the stockholders. Stockholders who vote against the voting rights have dissenters&#8217; rights in the event that the stockholders approve voting rights. NRS Section 378 provides that a Nevada corporation&#8217;s articles of incorporation or bylaws may provide that these sections do not apply to the corporation.

In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 810,&nbsp;<i>Consolidation</i>, the Company consolidates any variable interest entity, or VIE, of which it is the primary beneficiary. The typical condition for a controlling financial interest ownership is holding a majority of the voting interests of an entity; however, a controlling financial interest may also exist in entities, such as VIEs, through arrangements that do not involve controlling voting interests. ASC 810 requires a variable interest holder to consolidate a VIE if that party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE&#8217;s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company does not consolidate a VIE in which it has a majority ownership interest when the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its relationships with all the VIEs on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to be or becomes the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> <table id="pagebreakab385b16-2fe0-498c-8e2a-0522a6b72f0e" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr"></td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center">F-12</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="#Toc11">Table of Contents</a></i></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> SolarMax Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 (Unaudited) </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> and for the Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (Continued) </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> &nbsp; </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SolarMax and its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries.

The Company believes its current cash balances coupled with anticipated cash flow from operating activities will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for at least one year from the date of the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to control its cash expenses as a percentage of expected revenue on an annual basis and thus may use its cash balances in the short-term to invest in revenue growth. Based on current internal projections, the Company believes it has and/or will generate sufficient cash for its operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Under these arrangements, the Company owns the systems and receives the 30% federal grant, as well as any applicable state and utility arebates on the systems it owns. Upfront grants, rebates and incentives were applied to reduce the cost of the systems. All other annual rebates and performance-based incentive rebates are recognized in revenue when received. In connection with the Company&#8217;s ownership of solar systems primarily in New Jersey, the Company owns a number of Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (&#8220;SREC&#8221;). There is currently no assigned monetary value to an SREC and the prices are ultimately determined by market forces within the parameters set forth by the state. The Company recognizes the revenue of the SREC when it is sold.  <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> Under the long-term leases, the Company is the lessor of solar energy systems, which are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with ASC&nbsp;840,&nbsp;Leases, since the lease does not provide for the ownership transfer to the lessee at the end of lease, the arrangement does not contain a bargain purchase option, the lease term does not exceed 75% of the economic life of the underlying solar system which is typically 35-40 years, and the net present value of the lease payments does not exceed 90% of the original investment. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> For solar energy systems where customers purchase electricity from the Company under power purchase agreements, the Company determined that these agreements should be accounted for, in substance, as operating leases pursuant to ASC&nbsp;840 since the power purchase agreement does not provide for the ownership transfer to the other party at the end of lease, the arrangement does not contain a bargain purchase option, the term of the power purchase agreement does not exceed 75% of the economic life of the underlying solar system which is typically 35-40 years, and the net present value of the payments under the power purchase agreement does not exceed 90% of the original investment.

In January 2015, the Company entered into a three-year channel agreement with Sunrun, Inc. pursuant to which Sunrun appointed the Company as its sales representative to solicit orders for Sunrun&#8217;s products in portions of southern California. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company introduces potential leasing customers to Sunrun. Sunrun pays the Company for its services in connection with the projects. Upon a customer signing a Sunrun lease, the Company purchases the equipment from Sunrun or another vendor from a list of preapproved equipment vendors provided by Sunrun. The Company then performs the design and EPC services until the system receives the permit to operate. Sunrun pays the Company 80% of the purchase price of the system after the system receives the city sign off and the final 20% after receiving the permit to operate. Similar to solar systems sold directly to residential and commercial customers, the Company recognizes the revenue on the solar systems sold to Sunrun when the permit to operate is received. Sunrun owns the equipment, leases the system and also services the lease. The Company&#8217;s relationship with the residential customer is only during the sales and installation process. The agreement with Sunrun prohibited the Company from marketing, selling or constructing solar systems to be leased to customers other than through Sunrun. These restrictions did not affect the Company&#8217;s financing operations. The agreement with Sunrun was amended on March 22, 2018 to eliminate the exclusivity requirement. Sunrun may terminate the agreement if the Company fails to meet specified minimum volume requirements. Sunrun also has the right to terminate certain incentives contained in the agreement at any time. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="justify">&nbsp; <table id="pagebreak56181f3d-3f04-431a-b44b-8c6eb2edb4c9" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr"></td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center">F-16</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="#Toc11">Table of Contents</a></i></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> SolarMax Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 (Unaudited) </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> and for the Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (Continued) </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> Upon the completion of the system, Sunrun performs the inspection to ensure the system meets Sunrun&#8217;s quality standards, and the Company is responsible to fix any issues as identified by Sunrun if they are caused by the Company.

Loans held-for-investment are carried at amortized cost and are reduced by an allowance for estimated credit losses as necessary. The Company recognizes interest income on loans, including the amortization of discounts and premiums, using the interest method. The interest method is applied on a loan-by-loan basis when collectability of the future payments is reasonably assured. Premiums and discounts are recognized as yield adjustments over the term of the related loans. Loans are transferred from held-for-investment to held-for-sale when management&#8217;s intent is not to hold the loans for the foreseeable future. Loans held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

Revenues on this contract were recognized when the products were delivered to and accepted by the customer during the year ended December 31, 2017. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><i> Solar Farm Projects </i></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> In applying the percentage of completion method, the Company uses the actual costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs (including module costs but excluding VAT) in order to determine the progress towards completion and calculates the corresponding amount of revenue and profit to recognize. Costs incurred include direct materials, solar modules, labor, subcontractor costs, and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and supplies. SolarMax recognizes direct material and solar module costs as incurred when the direct materials and solar modules have been installed in the project. The Company considers direct materials and solar modules to be installed when they are permanently placed or affixed to a PV solar power system as required by engineering designs. Solar modules owned by the Company that will be used in the Company&#8217;s systems remain within inventory until such modules are installed in a system. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> The percentage of completion method of revenue recognition requires the Company to make estimates of net contract revenues and costs to complete the projects. In making such estimates, management judgments are required to evaluate significant assumptions including the amount of net contract revenues, the cost of materials and labor, expected labor productivity, the impact of potential variances in schedule completion, and the impact of any penalties, claims, change orders, or performance incentives. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> If estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, SolarMax recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known. The cumulative effect of the revisions to estimates related to net contract revenues and costs to complete contracts, including penalties, claims, change orders, performance incentives, anticipated losses, and others are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the changes on future periods are recognized as if the revised estimates had been used since revenue was initially recognized under the contract. Such revisions could occur in any reporting period, and the effects may be material depending on the size of the contracts or the changes in estimates. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b><u> Concentration Risks </u></b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp;

Retainage refers to the portion of the contract price earned by the Company for work performed but held for payment by the customer until the Company meets certain milestones, typically for a duration of up to twelve months after the substantial completion of the project. The amount withheld is typically about 5% of the contractual amount. The Company considers whether collectability of such retainage is reasonably assured in connection with its overall assessment of the collectability of amounts due or that will become due under the EPC contracts. Retainage expected to be collected within 12 months is classified within &#8220;other current assets&#8221; on the consolidated balance sheets.

In determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company identifies significant customers with known disputes or collection issues and considers its historical level of credit losses and current economic trends that might impact the level of future credit losses.

The Company accounts for the investment tax credits under the flow-through method which treats the credits as a reduction of federal income taxes of the year in which the credit arises or is utilized.

The Company&#8217;s tax liabilities include estimates for all income-related taxes that the Company believes are probable and that can be reasonably estimated. To the extent that the Company&#8217;s estimates are understated, additional charges to the provision for income taxes would be recorded in the period in which the Company determines such understatement.

(&#8220;Sunspark&#8221;), a United States-based panel supplier and a subsidiary of a PRC-based public company, which was amended in January 2017. Pursuant to the agreement, SolarMax agreed that it and its subsidiaries will purchase 150 megawatts of solar panels over a three-year period at a price to be negotiated, but not to exceed 110% of the preceding three-month rolling average market price per watt. Based on the price paid by SolarMax on its most recent purchase order from Sunspark in 2016, which was $0.56 per watt, the estimated total commitment would be approximately $84.0 million. The agreement stipulates annual minimum purchases of 30 megawatts. Based upon a purchase price of $0.56 per watt, the minimum annual commitment would be $16.8 million. The first year is the year beginning on June 1, 2016. In April 2017, the Company, through one of its PRC subsidiaries purchased 50 megawatts under this agreement and met the minimum commitment for the first year by May 31, 2017. The Company has been making purchases under the commitment in both the United States and in the PRC and expects to meet its minimum commitment for the second year ending on May 31, 2018. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b><i> Energy Storage System Distribution Agreement </i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> On July 29, 2016, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Li-Max Technology, Inc. with an effective date of June 9, 2016. The agreement has a five-year term during which the Company would be the exclusive distributor of Li-Max Energy Storage System within all countries and other areas of the world, other than Asia (including but not limited to the Republic of China and the Peoples&#8217; Republic of China). The agreement contains an initial purchase commitment of 375 units, of Li-Max Energy System, which is approximately $1.1 million within the first six months of the term of the agreement. In the event that the Company fails to purchase 60% of this commitment within such six month period, Li-Max can require the Company to procure within 60 days. Failing this commitment Li-Max has the right to terminate the agreement. The agreement also contains a warranty provision for all the systems purchased from Li-Max for a period of ten years. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has not met the minimum purchase commitment due to the vendor&#8217;s inability to obtain the UL certificate of its products until July 2017. The Company was undergoing renegotiation with Li-Max to retain the exclusivity and the minimum required purchases and had not reached an agreement as of the date the 2017 consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. As of March 31, 2018, the Company has completed the negotiation with Li-Max to retain the exclusivity under the original agreement. </p><b><i></i></b> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"><b><i> Employment Agreements </i></b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.35pt" align="justify"> On October 7, 2016, the Company entered into employment agreements with its chief executive officer and its executive vice president (collectively, the &#8220;Executives&#8221;), each for a five-year term commencing on January 1, 2017 and continuing on a year-to-year basis unless terminated by the Company or the Executive on not less than 90 days&#8217; notice prior to the expiration of the initial term or any one-year extension.

The options are exercisable cumulatively as to (a) 50% of the shares of common stock initially subject to the option on the later to occur of (i) six months after a public stock event, or (ii) October 7, 2017 (the &#8220;Initial Exercise Date&#8221;), provided that the option holder is employed or engaged by the Company or an affiliate of the Company on the Initial Exercise Date, and (b) the remaining 50% of the shares of common stock initially subject to the option on the first anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date. Further, without the consent of the Company, the option cannot be exercised prior to the date that an S-8 registration statement covering the shares issuable pursuant to the 2016 long term incentive plan becomes effective. In the event that a public stock event does not occur by the expiration date of the options, the options will expire. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> As of March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had issued options to purchase 2,077,000 shares, 2,077,000 shares and 1,677,000 shares, respectively, and cancelled options to purchase 150,000 shares, 150,000 shares and zero shares, respectively, under the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan. At March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and 2016, option shares issued and outstanding were 1,927,000 shares, 1,927,000 shares and 1,677,000 shares, respectively.

The model requires input of assumptions regarding the expected term, expected volatility, dividend yield, and a risk- free interest rate. Options were granted at the fair value of the Company&#8217;s common stock on grant dates and a simplified method was used to estimate the expected term of the options granted. Assumptions used to compute the grant date fair value of employee stock option grants for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows: </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <table style="WIDTH: 100%;

Such differences could be material, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, future legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the Company has utilized to calculate the transition tax&#8217;s reasonable estimate. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> Pursuant to SAB118, the Company is allowed a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts.

The Company will continue to calculate the impact of the U.S. Tax Act and will record any resulting tax adjustments during 2018.

Accordingly, the Company may elect an accounting policy to (i) record taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the &#8220;period cost method&#8221;) or (ii) factor such amounts into its measurement of deferred income taxes (the &#8220;deferred method&#8221;). The Company&#8217;s election of an accounting policy with respect to the new GILTI tax provisions will depend, in part, on analyzing our global income to determine whether the Company expects to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, what the effect is expected to be. Because the Company&#8217;s future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI depend on its organizational structure, the Company&#8217;s estimates of future operating results, and also the Company&#8217;s intent and ability to modify its organizational structure and/or its operations, the Company is not yet able to reasonably estimate the effects of this provision of the Tax Act. As a result, the Company did not record any adjustments related to potential GILTI taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended&nbsp;December&nbsp;31, 2017&nbsp;and did not make a policy election regarding whether to record deferred income taxes on GILTI. </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp; <table id="pagebreakf7e78f95-00fc-45de-988e-189abe24d6d3" class="pagebreak" style="FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hpbhr"></td></tr> <tr> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-ALIGN: center">F-54</td></tr> <tr> <td> <div style="WIDTH: 100%; PAGE-BREAK-AFTER: always; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px"></div>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td><i><a href="#Toc11">Table of Contents</a></i></td></tr></table></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> SolarMax Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"> &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 (Unaudited) </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px" align="center"><b> and for the Years Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (Continued) </b></p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> <p style="MARGIN: 0px"> The BEAT provisions of the Tax Act impose a minimum tax related to certain deductible payments made to related foreign persons.

The claims arose out of (i) the Company &#8217;s purchase of the assets of Act One Investments and its subsidiaries pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated May 31, 2013 pursuant to which the Company acquired the business which is now its LED business, (ii) the wrongful conduct of defendants as inducement for the Company to enter into the asset purchase agreement and (iii) wrongful conduct by certain of the individual defendants as employees of the Company&#8217;s subsidiary.
