Smart Grid Stock Profile: AMBIENT CORPORATION (OTCBB: ABTG)

Ambient Corporation (referred to herein as “we,” “our,” “us,” “Ambient,” or the “Company”) is a pioneering integrator of smart grid communications platforms, creating high-speed Internet Protocols (IP)-based data communications networks over existing medium and low-voltage distribution grids, thereby enabling smart grid applications. The Ambient smart grid platform, known as Ambient Smart Grid™, facilitates a two-way, real-time communications network to serve the “last mile” backhaul necessary for utilities to implement smart grid applications such as Advanced Metering Infrastructures (AMI), real-time pricing, Demand Side Management (DSM), Distribution Monitoring and Automation, and direct load control and more. When combined, these applications can offer economic, operational and environmental benefits for utilities, and ultimately the utility’s customers.

Dating back to 2000, Ambient has focused on developing communication platforms to enable utility applications throughout a utility’s distribution network. Over the past eight years, Ambient has evolved considerably to remain at the forefront of utility smart grid communication. In 2004, we upgraded our platform, from a 45 Mbps Design of Systems on Silicon (DS2) Broadband over Power Line (BPL) processor, to their second generation 200 Mbps chipset technology that had the potential for a more robust communications network. In 2005, with the integration of Wi-Fi wireless communications in our nodes, we leveraged the advantages of using multiple communications technologies under a single unified platform. In 2007, Ambient integrated both voltage sensing and current sensing capabilities into our products, allowing nodes to provide power quality data back to the utility in real-time, anywhere an enabled node is located. In December 2008, Ambient extended our communications capabilities to include cellular communications in our X2000 node, and subsequently received certification for our latest communication node, the X-3000, to backhaul through Verizon Wireless’ secure and ubiquitous network. Additionally, our network management system AmbientNMS™, introduced in 2005 was enhanced in 2008 to integrate geographic information systems (GIS) technology allowing for precise mapping and exact outage notification.

In 2008, Ambient received purchase orders from Duke Energy to purchase its X2000 and X-3000 communications nodes, license its AmbientNMS™, and acquire engineering support in building out an intelligent grid/intelligent-metering platform, which generated $12.6 million in revenues in the year.

As management believes that open standards and interoperability will hasten the deployment of all smart grid technology, Ambient has played a principal role in driving industry standardization efforts through leadership roles in industry associations and standards setting organizations and continues to expand strategic relationships with leading suppliers of critical smart grid technologies.

Our goal is to be the leading designer, developer and systems integrator of a turnkey Ambient Smart Grid™ communications platform, incorporating a wide array of communications protocols and smart grid applications such as advanced metering solutions to complement our internally developed energy sensing capabilities. We view the smart grid communications platform to be a key factor for utilities to efficiently integrate increasing portfolios of renewable energy generation into the electrical grid.

Ambient was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in June 1996, and to date, we have funded operations primarily through the sale of our securities. In connection with the continued development and upgrade, marketing, and deployment of our products, technology, and services, we anticipate that we will continue to augment our revenue generation capabilities with such capital raises in the future, and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses during the current fiscal year.

We recognized revenues of $12,622,353 and $826,593 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively, representing sales of equipment, software and related network design and installation services from new pilots that were launched in 2008 and 2007. We incurred net losses of $11,294,199 and $4,044,438 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. From inception through the third quarter of 2008, we were in the development stage and had insignificant revenues. A development stage activity is generally one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant. In the fourth quarter of 2008, our management has determined that we were no longer in the development stage as Ambient generated significant revenues.
