Energy Bar Association Presentation - November 30, 2007 PANELISTS KERRY DUKES Chief Executive Officer Ardour Capital Investments ROGER FELDMAN Andrews Kurth ROBERT B. MCKINSTRY, JR. Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll MERRILL KRAMER President and CEO Alternegy LLC MODERATOR: I'm Mike Stosser. I'm with Ardour Capital Investments, an investment bank based in New York City. We specialize in sourcing capital for renewable, alternative, and clean tech companies. That's all we do and we are experts in it. I'm in the corporate finance group, and I am the company's General Counsel. Our panel today is going to focus on financing renewable and alternative energy projects. Financing these kinds of projects is unique. There are both private and public companies in this space, which can range from a guy in a garage with a brilliant idea to a full-fledged successful operating company. There are many challenges and opportunities in obtaining capital for these types of companies, and we're going to hear about them today. With us today is Kerry Dukes. He's my CEO. He's the CEO of Ardour Capital. Roger Feldman is with Andrews Kurth, a partner who is a finance lawyer who is working on these projects. Robert B. (Bobby) McKinstry, Jr., who is with Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll He's a partner who specializes in siting and environmental concerns relating to projects, and Merrill Kramer who many of you know as a brilliant project finance lawyer but is now an excellent President and CEO of a biodiesel company and is a developer. Our first speaker is Kerry Dukes. Kerry, as I said is the CEO and managing partner of Ardour Capital. He's the co-founder of Ardour and is the head of the investment banking group. Kerry has over twenty years of experience in the securities industry. He has served on the board of numerous public companies. He began his career at Shearson Lehman. He went on from there and became CFO and managing director of Commonwealth Associates and went on to become the founder of Bluestone Capital. He and Brian Greenstein formed Ardour Capital in 2002. Kerry is going to have to leave us because he has to catch a train to New York, so if you have any questions for him, you can contact him via email or phone and the information is listed on his presentation, which is in your book. He'll be glad to entertain any of your calls should you call or if he's not available, it will go into his voice mail and then he'll tell me to call you back. MR. DUKES: Good afternoon. I appreciate the opportunity to come down and speak to you folks. Give you a little bit more in depth background on Ardour Capital. Ardour Capital is a group of guys who got together when everybody in the investment banking industry was running one way, we decided to run the other towards investment in alternative energy. We publish extensive industry research both white papers and papers and direct research on companies that are public in the space. We have formed a group of indexes, one being the Ardour Global Indexes which is a family of pure play alternative energy indexes. There's a couple of reasons why we put that together, and I can get into later on in the presentation. We have an event that we sponsor annually which we have been sponsoring since 2001, which is about three years earlier than most other banks in the industry have followed. The biggest issue that we find in trying to obtain financing for companies is the legacy of the sector. In the late 1990s there was a big boom in the sector and companies were getting financed with absolutely absurd market caps and the expectations for both commercialization and market control were just completely off the charts. There was a point in time when a company by the name of Ballard Power up in Canada had a market cap in excess of what General Motors market cap was at that point in time, just to give you a little idea of what was going on back then. …
