GREENHOUSE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization and operations

R Squared Contracting, Inc. (“R Squared”) was incorporated in the State of California on January 2, 2007.  Green House Holdings, Inc. (“GHH”) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 18, 2009.  On September 20, 2009, a securities exchange agreement was entered into by and among GHH and R Squared and all of the equity holders of R Squared (“R Squared Shareholders”).  Under this agreement, GHH acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of R Squared from the R Squared Shareholders in exchange for an aggregate of 800,000 shares of GHH common stock.  R Squared became a wholly owned subsidiary of GHH and the 800,000 shares represent 100% of the total outstanding shares of GHH.

On January 7, 2010, GreenHouse Holdings, Inc., f/k/a Custom Q, Inc. (“GreenHouse” or the "Company") approved an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to change its name to GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. and to effect a forward-split such that 5 shares of common stock were issued for every 1 share of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to filing of the Amendment (the “Forward Split”).  On January 7, 2010, GreenHouse entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Green House Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and the stockholders of GHH whereby GreenHouse acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of GHH in exchange (the “Exchange”) for 19,800,000 newly issued shares of common stock and options to purchase 784,000 shares of common stock (after giving effect to the Forward Split) of GreenHouse. As a result, GreenHouse completed a reverse merger in which GHH merged with the Company and GHH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

On June 2, 2010, the Company incorporated a 99.8% owned subsidiary in Mexico, Green House Soluciones S.A. de C.V. ("GH Soluciones").

On September 8, 2010, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Green House Holdings, Inc., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the “ LPI Agreement”) with Life Protection, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Life Protection”) and shareholders of Life Protection (the “Life Protection Holders”). Life Protection provides innovative training, support, design and construction of facilities and services to meet the needs of the U.S. government, military, and law enforcement agencies. As a result of this acquisition, the Company is expected to yield significant cross-selling opportunities in government markets. Pursuant to the LPI Agreement, the Company acquired, from the Life Protection Holders, all of the capital stock of Life Protection in exchange for an aggregate of 1,118,750 shares of the Company’s newly issued shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. The purchase price was determined by the total market value of the newly issued shares on September 8, 2010, totaling $3,546,348, which was based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the acquisition date. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method. The initial accounting of the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired is not complete as a significant portion of the assets acquired were intangible assets that need to be appraised. As a result, the full amount of the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities has been classified as goodwill as of September 30, 2010. Tangible assets and liabilities acquired were deemed to be insignificant. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductable for income tax purposes. Revenue and loss generated by Life Protection from the acquisition date through September 30, 2010 was $0 and $(21,481), respectively.

The Company is headquartered in San Diego, California and provides energy-efficiency products, energy management systems, eco-friendly infrastructure, scalable waste-to-fuel bio-fuel and closed loop systems, as well as other proprietary technologies and products that are financially sound and sustainable to residential, commercial, industrial and government markets around the globe.

Note 2. Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments except as noted in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed April 15, 2010.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Certain items on the condensed consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified in the prior period to conform to current period presentation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Significant estimates included in these financial statements are: (a) revenue recognition on uncompleted contracts and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, and (b) allocation of the Life Protection purchase price between the fair value of the assets acquired and goodwill. The revenue recognition estimates are based on the ratio that actual costs incurred to date bear to estimated costs at completion. The purchase price allocation estimates are incomplete and the Company's management is in the process of finalizing the accounting of the purchase.  It is at least reasonably possible that a change in these estimates will occur in the near term.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GHH and it’s subsidiaries, R Squared, Life Protection and GH Soluciones.  All material intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Life Protection has a 49% membership interest in LPI R.O.A.D.House, LLC. The non-controlling interest of the outside shareholders of LPI R.O.A.D.House, LLC is recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the noncontrolling shareholders’ share in the net assets and the income or loss of subsidiaries, respectively.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

New accounting pronouncements

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), which became the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP. The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued by the SEC. All other literature became non-authoritative. ASC is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

Accounts receivable

The Company grants unsecured credit to individuals primarily located in Southern California.  Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses, if any.  At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the allowance for doubtful accounts is $0.

Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability.  Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.  The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure to its customers.

Revenue recognition

In accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, contract revenues are recognized using the percentage of completion method in the ratio that costs incurred bear to total estimated costs at completion. Adjustments to contract cost estimates are made in the periods in which the facts which require such revisions become known. Unapproved change orders are not considered as part of the contract until it has been approved by the customer. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. If final total cost is anticipated to exceed the contract amount, the excess of cost over contract amount is immediately recognized as a loss on the contract.

Customer Billings

The Company classifies cumulative customer billings that exceed the sum of total contract cost plus the gross profit earned to date as billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings.

Other expense

Immediately prior to the reverse merger described below, the Company consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement with Cindy Kostoff, GreenHouse’s principal shareholder and officer and director, whereby the Company acquired 4,000,000 of GreenHouse’s 4,240,000 outstanding shares from Ms. Kostoff for the purchase price of $250,000. This expense has been classified as other expense.

Net loss per common share

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.  Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period.  There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of September 30, 2009.  As of September 30, 2010, there were 973,359 warrants and 1,335,000 options outstanding to purchase shares of common stock. However, these potentially dilutive shares are considered to be anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the calculation of net loss per share.

Stock Based Compensation

For employee stock options issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and an estimated forfeiture rate is used when calculating stock-based compensation expense for the period. For employee restricted stock awards and units issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each grant is calculated based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant and an estimated forfeiture rate when calculating stock-based compensation expense for the period. The Company recognizes the compensation cost of stock-based awards over the vesting period of the award.
 
 The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees ("ASC 505-50"). Under ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Any stock options issued to non-employees are recorded in expense and additional paid-in capital in stockholders' equity/(deficit) over the applicable service periods using variable accounting through the vesting dates based on the fair value of the options at the end of each period.

Any benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized stock-based compensation will be reported as a financing activity rather than an operating activity in the statements of cash flows. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in certain periods.

As there is not sufficient public market history for its common stock, the Company determined the volatility for options granted based on an analysis of reported data for a peer group of companies that issued options with substantially similar terms. The expected volatility of options granted has been determined using an average of the historical volatility measures of this peer group of companies as well as the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected life of options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method as prescribed by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.

The risk-free interest rate ranged from 1.9% to 3.2%, expected volatility ranged from 49% to 92% at the time all options were granted, the dividend yield was assumed to be zero, and the expected life of the options was assumed to be between five and six and one half years based on the average vesting period of options granted.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company expensed $15,236 and $0 of stock option expense, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any stock option expense.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2010-13, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.” Under Topic 718, awards of equity share options granted to an employee of an entity’s foreign operation that provide a fixed exercise price denominated in (1) the foreign operation’s functional currency or (2) the currency in which the employee’s pay is denominated should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. However, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles do not specify whether a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades has a market, performance, or service condition. Diversity in practice has developed on the interpretation of whether such an award should be classified as a liability when the exercise price is not denominated in either the foreign operation’s functional currency or the currency in which the employee’s pay is denominated.  ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. ASU 2010-13 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-13 is not expected to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Property and equipment

On July 22, 2010, Green House Soluciones, S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of the Company, purchased approximately 25 acres of land in Jalisco, Mexico, for a total price of approximately $315,000.

Note 7.  Reverse merger

On January 7, 2010, GreenHouse Holdings, Inc., f/k/a Custom Q, Inc. (“GreenHouse”) approved an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to change its name to GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. and to effect a forward-split such that 5 shares of common stock were issued for every 1 share of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to filing of the Amendment (the “Forward Split”).  On January 7, 2010, GreenHouse entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Green House Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“GHH” or the “Company”), and the stockholders of GHH whereby GreenHouse acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of GHH in exchange (the “Exchange”) for 19,800,000 newly issued shares of common stock and options to purchase 784,000 shares of common stock (after giving effect to the Forward Split) of GreenHouse. As a result, GreenHouse completed a reverse merger in which GHH merged with the Company and GHH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

Immediately prior thereto, GHH consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement with Cindy Kostoff, GreenHouse’s principal shareholder and officer and director, whereby GHH acquired 4,000,000 of GreenHouse’s 4,240,000 outstanding shares from Ms. Kostoff for the purchase price of $250,000.  Simultaneously therewith, GreenHouse accepted subscriptions in an offering of its units comprised of 16,667 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 5,500 shares common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and expiring in three years (the ”Units”) offered pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. GreenHouse sold an aggregate of 19 Units for a total of $475,000.  Management does not believe that the value of the warrants will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As part of the Amendment, GreenHouse increased its authorized capital to include 300,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, of which 25,220,824 shares were issued and outstanding on September 30, 2010, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share, of which no shares were issued and outstanding on September 30, 2010.

Upon completion of the Merger, the officers and directors of GreenHouse resigned and the current officers and directors of the Company were appointed officers and directors of GreenHouse.  The Merger has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition with the Company as the accounting acquirer and GreenHouse as the accounting acquiree.  GreenHouse is subject to the public reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company is subject to the legal proceedings discussed below.  The Company does not believe it has a potential liability related to the current legal proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. However, the result of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should the Company fail to prevail in these legal matters, then the operating results could be materially adversely affected.

On September 3, 2009, Keith A. Miles, a shareholder and former employee of the Registrant commenced an action entitled Keith Miles v. R Squared Contracting, Inc., dba Greenhouse Builders; Robert Russell Earnshaw; John Galt; Galt Corp.; and Does 1 through 25, San Diego Superior Court case number 37-2009-00097598-CU-BC-CTL.  Miles alleged that the Company breached the Management Agreement and Shareholder Agreement executed among the parties when Miles was terminated.  The action was settled in March 2010 in accordance with a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release whereby Robert Russell Earnshaw and John Galt, who are directors, officers and principal shareholders of the Company, and as well as Galt Corp. an entity over which John Galt holds voting and dispositive power, agreed to acquire a certain number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by Miles for the purchase price of $500,000.  The Company has guaranteed the payment for the shares. All scheduled payments under the Settlement Agreement have been made to date, except for the final balance due of $35,000, payment of which has been extended to November 30, 2010.

In March 2010, the Company was threatened with litigation by SalesForce.com, Inc., a San Diego based software licensing company.  SalesForce.com alleged that the Company failed to remit payment in the amount of $75,000 for software licenses purportedly provided by SalesForce.com, Inc. In July 2010, the Company entered into a payment agreement with SalesForce.com. All scheduled payments under the payment agreement have been made to date. The remaining balance under the payment agreement is $37,800, payable in 3 equal, bi-annual installments beginning February 2011.

On October 20, 2010, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Life Protection, Inc. commenced an action against Cardinal Design-Build of the Carolinas, LLC and Robert O. Walker in the Superior Court of Wayne County, North Carolina, to administratively dissolve LPI R.O.A.D.House, LLC (“LPI-Roadhouse”) alleging unauthorized payments, misappropriation of LPI-Roadhouse’s assets and deadlock among LPI-Roadhouse’s members.  On November 9, 2010, the parties consented to dissolve LPI-Roadhouse, equally distribute any funds in LPI-Roadhouse bank accounts, LPI will retain all intellectual property related to LPI-Roadhouse, to dismiss the action and settle all claims against each other in consideration for the allocation of proceeds of certain, pending projects.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the LPI Agreement. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations was prepared using the unaudited historical condensed statement of operations of the Company and Life Protection. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 which is included in its December 31, 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 assumes that the LPI Agreement was consummated at the beginning of the period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 combines the unaudited condensed statement of operations of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 with the unaudited condensed statement of operations of Life Protection for the period January 1, 2010 to September 8, 2010.

The information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not purport to represent what our results of operations would have been had the LPI Agreement occurred as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of our future results of operations for any period. You should not rely on this information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience after the LPI Agreement. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we funded our operations through financing activities consisting primarily of private placements of equity securities with outside investors, and by loans from shareholders and officers. Our principal use of funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 has been for the ongoing development of our projects for the efficient conversion of cellulosic and sugar based waste streams into Ethanol; the ongoing development of relationships with potential corporate and government customers for our energy saving solutions; the expansion of our sales and marketing infrastructure to increase our revenue from our energy saving solutions to residential customers; and for general corporate expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company raised $3,396,607 by issuing common stock to outside investors, raised $389,828 by issuing notes payable to shareholders and repaid $610,364 of notes payable to shareholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company did not issue any equity securities, raised approximately $180,000 by issuing notes payable to shareholders, and raised $625,000 by issuing Convertible Notes to outside investors.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the holders of the Company’s Convertible Notes that were issued in 2009 were given the opportunity to convert their notes into shares of common stock at a price of $1.275 per share, prior to the occurrence of the terms stated in the Convertible Notes.  All of the holders of the Convertible Notes, which were recorded at $750,000 at December 31, 2009, elected to convert their notes, and accrued interest of $23,533, into 606,693 shares of the Company’s common stock in January 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resource Plan

For the remainder of 2010 and into 2011, the Company intends to fund its operations by continuing to raise proceeds from its current equity financing up to the maximum amount of $5 million, which will enable it to expand its revenue-generating home improvement product offering in the current markets it serves, as well as in new markets it will start to operate in. Proceeds from the Company’s current equity financing will also be used for the ongoing development of our projects for the efficient conversion of cellulosic and sugar based waste streams into Ethanol; the ongoing development of relationships with potential corporate and government customers for our energy saving solutions; and the expansion of our sales and marketing infrastructure. As of November 9, 2010, the Company had raised an aggregate of approximately $3,667,000 from this current equity financing. In addition to its current equity financing, on October 22, 2010, the Company consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers, whereby the Company issued debentures in an aggregate amount of $344,828. This debt financing allows the Company to pursue the additional issuance of up to $770,172 of debentures. The Company is also pursuing working capital debt financing as well as project-specific debt financing to develop its alternative energy projects for sale or lease to customers. However, there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $4,428,000 compared to approximately $3,486,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately $942,000 or 27%. This increase was due to increased sales of our energy efficient products and services to residential customers as a result of our expansion of our sales and marketing infrastructure. Gross profit percentage increased from 37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to our increased focus on negotiating better prices and discounts from our suppliers and vendors, our increased focus on sales training and customer pricing, and sales of higher margin products and services. For the 2009 fiscal year and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company's gross profit percentage has fluctuated between approximately 40% and 50% due to normal fluctuations in the sales mix of products and services.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $4,321,000 compared to approximately $2,270,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately $2,051,000. Approximately $1,117,000 of this increase was due to the increase in the number of employees needed to support our growth, and the related payroll burden costs. Approximately $461,000 of the increase was due to increased sales and marketing expenses that resulted in the increase in revenues of our energy efficient products and services to residential customers described above, as well as the increase in expenses to support the sales and marketing efforts of our alternative energy products and services, such as water purification and vapor compression systems, and ethanol production systems. The remaining $369,000 of the increase was due to an increase in general corporate expenses, including expenses associated with being a publicly-traded company, such as investor relations, public relations, audit and legal fees, and expenses associated with our growth, such as general liability insurance and travel expense.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $237,000 compared to approximately $33,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately $204,000. Approximately $154,000 of this was due to the non-cash accounting entries to record the expense related to the beneficial conversion of the Convertible Notes and the related party promissory note which were converted at a 15% discount to the Company’s current equity financing.  The remaining increase of approximately $50,000 was due to an increase in debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $250,000 compared to $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This expense was due to the one-time costs associated with effecting the reverse merger that took place during our first quarter.

As a result, net loss was approximately $2,975,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of approximately $1,019,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $1,724,000 compared to approximately $1,671,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately $53,000 or 3%. This increase was due to increased sales of our energy efficient products and services to residential customers as a result of our expansion of our sales and marketing infrastructure. Gross profit percentage decreased from 43% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 37% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to normal fluctuations in the sales mix of products and services.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company received signed contracts totaling approximately $2,312,000, its highest quarterly amount through September 30, 2010, resulting in a backlog of $1,501,000 as of September 30, 2010.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $1,605,000 compared to approximately $1,053,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately $552,000. Approximately $354,000 of this increase was due to the increase in the number of employees to support our growth, and the related payroll burden costs. Approximately $100,000 of the increase was due to increased sales and marketing expenses that resulted in the increase in revenues of our energy efficient products and services to residential customers described above, as well as the increase in expenses to support the sales and marketing efforts of our alternative energy products and services, such as water purification and vapor compression systems, and ethanol production systems. The remaining $98,000 of the increase was due to an increase in general corporate expenses, including legal fees, general liability insurance and travel expense.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $29,000 compared to approximately $27,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of approximately $2,000.

As a result, net loss was approximately $991,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of approximately $363,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

We believe that the estimates and assumptions that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, in that they require subjective or complex judgments, form the basis for the accounting for bad debts, our estimate of billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings and percentage of completion on jobs in process, and the allocation of the Life Protection purchase price between the fair value of the assets acquired and goodwill. We believe estimates and assumptions related to these critical accounting policies are appropriate under the circumstances; however, should future events or occurrences result in unanticipated consequences, there could be a material impact on our future financial conditions or results of operations. We suggest that our significant accounting policies be read in conjunction with this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Beyond the guarantee of the Miles litigation discussed in Part II, we do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is not exposed to market risk related to interest rates or foreign currencies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving their objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the ”reasonable assurance” level. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file and submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms; and (2) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Except as set forth above, no director, officer, or affiliate of the Company and no owner of record or beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of the securities of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in reference to pending litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Please refer to the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for an in-depth discussion of risk factors.

You should read the following factors in conjunction with the factors discussed elsewhere in this and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in materials incorporated by reference in these filings.

The following is intended to highlight certain factors that may affect the financial condition and results of operations of GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. and are not meant to be an exhaustive discussion of risks that apply to companies such as GreenHouse. Like other businesses, GreenHouse is susceptible to macroeconomic downturns in the United States or abroad, as were experienced in fiscal year 2009, that may affect the general economic climate and performance of GreenHouse or its customers.

Aside from general macroeconomic downturns, the additional material factors that could effect future financial results include, but are not limited to: terrorist attacks and the impact of such events; diminished access to raw materials that directly enter into our manufacturing process; shipping labor disruption or other major degradation of the ability to ship out our products to end users; inability to successfully control our margins which are affected by many factors including competition and product mix; protracted shutdown of the U.S. border due to an escalation of terrorist or counter terrorist activity; any changes in our business relationships with distributors or the economic climate they operate in; any event that has a material adverse impact on our purchasing operations may adversely affect our operations as a whole; failure to manage the future expansion of our business could have a material adverse affect on our revenues and profitability; possible costs in complying with government regulations and the delays in receiving required regulatory approvals or the enactment of new adverse regulations or regulatory requirements; numerous competitors, some of which have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do; quarterly variations in operating results caused by a number of factors, including business and industry conditions; concentrations of purchases with certain vendors could adversely affect the results of the Company if the Company were to lose those vendors and other factors beyond our control. All these factors make it difficult to predict operating results for any particular period.

The Company continues to raise proceeds from its current equity financing up to the maximum amount of $5 million but there can be no assurance that such proceeds will continue to be available to the Company.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The Company has issued 2,444,452 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 806,653 shares of its common stock upon consummation of a private offering of the Company’s securities that began on January 7, 2010 through November 9, 2010.  All of the warrants subscribed for in the offerings are exercisable at the price of $2.50 per share and expire in three years.

Our principal use of funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 has been for the ongoing development of our projects for the efficient conversion of cellulosic and sugar based waste streams into Ethanol; the ongoing development of relationships with potential corporate and government customers for our energy saving solutions; the expansion of our sales and marketing infrastructure to increase our revenue from our energy saving solutions to residential customers; and for general corporate expenses

On September 8, 2010, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Green House Holdings, Inc., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the “ LPI Agreement”) with Life Protection, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Life Protection”) and shareholders of Life Protection (the “Life Protection Holders”). Life Protection provides innovative training, support, design and construction of facilities and services to meet the needs of the U.S. government, military, and law enforcement agencies. As a result of this acquisition, the Company is expected to yield significant cross-selling opportunities in government markets. Pursuant to the LPI Agreement, the Company acquired, from the Life Protection Holders, all of the capital stock of Life Protection in exchange for an aggregate of 1,118,750 shares of the Company’s newly issued shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. The purchase price was determined by the total market value of the newly issued shares on September 8, 2010, totaling $3,546,348, which was based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the acquisition date.

The sales of the securities identified above were made pursuant to privately negotiated transactions that did not involve a public offering of securities and, accordingly, we believe that these transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D and Regulation S promulgated thereunder. The agreements executed in connection with this sale contain representations to support the Registrant’s reasonable belief that the investor had access to information concerning the Registrant’s operations and financial condition, the investor acquired the securities for their own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof in the absence of an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration, and that the investors are sophisticated within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are “accredited investors” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act). In addition, the issuances did not involve any public offering; the Registrant made no solicitation in connection with the sale other than communications with the investor; the Registrant obtained representations from the investor regarding their investment intent, experience and sophistication; and the investor either received or had access to adequate information about the Registrant in order to make an informed investment decision.  All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act.
