The Saratoga Parties share voting power over 98.8% of the voting stock of ADLT and dispositive power over 88.4% of the common stock and 98.8 % of the preferred stock of ADLT. Consequently, the Saratoga Parties have the power to elect all of the members of the ADLT Board of Directors. As a result of this relationship, the Saratoga Parties share investment and dispositive power over the Fiberstars Common Stock held by ADLT.

     The address of ADLT’s principal business and its principal office is 32000 Aurora Road, Solon, Ohio 44139. The principal business of ADLT is the design, manufacture and marketing of metal halide lighting materials and components.

     During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject, to federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     In February 2000, ADLT, through Unison Fiber Optic Lighting Systems, LLC (“Unison”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, received four warrants from Fiberstars in exchange for certain assets, and upon assumption of certain liabilities, of the fiber optic portion of Unison’s business. See Items 4 and 5(c) for more information about the warrants.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

     In January 2000, Fiberstars and Unison entered into a purchase agreement pursuant to which Fiberstars acquired certain assets necessary and material to the fiber optic lighting portion of Unison’s business (and assumed certain liabilities). In exchange, in February 2000, ADLT, through Unison, received four warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares ($.01 par value per share) of Fiberstars Common Stock (or 250,000 shares per warrant). At the time, ADLT also owned 1,023,011 shares of Fiberstars Common Stock outright.

     On March 23, 2004, Advanced Lighting Technologies, Inc. (“ADLT”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Investor Agreement (“Investor Agreement”) with Fiberstars, Inc. and the ADLT Class 7 Liquidating Trust (“ADLT Trust”) undertaking to transfer 1,541,011 shares of Common Stock of Fiberstars, Inc. to ADLT Trust in accordance with the plan of reorganization of ADLT. These shares consisted of 1,023,011 shares held, and 518,000 shares to be issued in respect of warrants held and to be exercised. Pursuant to the terms of the ADLT Trust and the ADLT plan of reorganization, ADLT has no interest in the ADLT Trust, other than the right to reimbursement of certain expenses, and does not have or share investment or voting power over the assets of the ADLT Trust. In addition, in connection with the Investor Agreement, ADLT undertook to transfer warrants to acquire 75,000 shares of Fiberstars, Inc. Common Stock to certain individuals, these warrants include the right to acquire 53,357 shares within 60 days. As a result, ADLT’s sole interest in shares of Fiberstars then consisted of two warrants to acquire an aggregate of 407,000 shares of Fiberstars, Inc. Common Stock, of which 140,068 shares could have been acquired within 60 days.

(Page 9 of 12 Pages)

     In June, 2005, one of the two warrants became fully exercisable, entitling ADLT to purchase 175,750 shares. Pursuant to the terms of the warrant, on July 1, 2005, ADLT surrendered the right to 182 shares in a cashless exercise of the warrant, and acquired 175,572 shares of Common Stock. On July 27, 2005, based on the average price of Fiberstars Inc. Common Stock for the prior 30 days, the remaining warrant became fully exercisable, entitling ADLT to purchase an additional 231,250 shares of Common Stock at $.01 per share. As a result of the vesting of the second warrant, ADLT became beneficial owner of a total of 406,822 shares of Fiberstars Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the warrant, on August 1, 2005, ADLT surrendered the right to 173 shares in a cashless exercise of the warrant, and acquired 231,077 shares of Common Stock. As a result, ADLT is the beneficial owner of 406,649 shares of Common Stock.

     ADLT holds its shares of Fiberstars Common Stock as an investment and may sell some or all of its shares at any time or from time to time. ADLT anticipates that any such sales will be based on ADLT’s liquidity position, market conditions and/or the market price for such shares.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

          (a) and (b)

     ADLT owns 406,649 shares of Common Stock or 5.04% of the issued and outstanding Fiberstars Common Stock. ADLT has the power to vote and dispose of 406,649 shares of issued and outstanding Fiberstars Common Stock. However, pursuant to the Investor Agreement, ADLT has agreed it will not deposit its Fiberstars common shares into a voting trust or join a group (or otherwise act in concert with a third person) to acquire, hold, vote of dispose of Fiberstars Common Stock.

     Each of Saratoga Lighting, Saratoga Partners, Saratoga Coinvestment, Saratoga Associates and Saratoga Management may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Fiberstars Common Stock held by ADLT (collectively, the “Investors’ Shares”). As beneficial holder of 98.8% of the voting stock of ADLT, Saratoga Lighting may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, to beneficially own indirectly the Investors’ Shares that are owned by ADLT. As the Managing Member of Saratoga Lighting, Saratoga Partners may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, to beneficially own indirectly the Investors’ Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Saratoga Lighting. As the general partner of Saratoga Partners, Saratoga Associates may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, to beneficially own indirectly the Investors’ Shares that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by Saratoga Partners. As the Manager of Saratoga Partners and the Managing Member of Saratoga Coinvestment, Saratoga Management may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, to beneficially own indirectly the Investors’ Shares that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by Saratoga Partners. Each of the Saratoga Parties disclaims beneficial ownership of the Investors’ Shares.

(c)	On July 1, 2005, ADLT executed a cashless exercise of an outstanding warrant, acquiring 175,572 shares of Fiberstars Common Stock. On August 1, 2005, ADLT surrendered the right to 173 shares in a cashless exercise of an outstanding warrant, acquiring 231,077 shares of Common Stock.
(d)	Not Applicable.
(e)	Not Applicable.

(Page 10 of 12 Pages)

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

     ADLT, ADLT Trust and Fiberstars have entered into an Investor Agreement, which, among other things, provides that ADLT will not deposit its shares of Fiberstars Common Stock into a voting trust or join a group (or otherwise act in concert with a third person) to acquire, hold, vote of dispose of shares of Fiberstars Common Stock.

     Saratoga Lighting has voting power over 98.8% of the voting stock of ADLT and investment power over 88.4% of the common stock, and 98.8 % of the preferred stock, of ADLT. Consequently, Saratoga Lighting has the power to elect all of the members of the ADLT Board of Directors. The other Saratoga Parties may be deemed to beneficially own such ADLT shares held by Saratoga Lighting, although they have each expressly disclaimed such beneficial ownership. As a result of these relationships, the Saratoga Parties may be deemed to share investment and dispositive power over the Fiberstars Common Stock held by ADLT (see Item 5 (a) and (b)).

     Except as described above, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise), including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, between the persons enumerated in Item 2, and any other person, with respect to any securities of Fiberstars, Inc., including any securities pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities other than standard default and similar provisions contained in loan agreements.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits
