Management Comments

Marco Northland, the Company's CEO, commented, “Etrion made significant
progress in the third quarter of 2011 by completing almost 13 MW of
additional solar capacity. With a fully-funded solar portfolio of
approximately 60 MW, Etrion has substantial revenues and cash flows from
operations. Our solar parks have been producing almost 10% above
expectations so far this year, and we continue to review opportunities
for growth in Italy and abroad.”

Third Quarter 2011 Results

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company
reported a net loss of US$2.8 million (loss per share of US$0.02) and

2011, would have been US$1.3 million (loss per share of US$0.01).
