ENERGY FOCUS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations
Energy Focus, Inc. and subsidiaries (the company) design, develop, manufacture, and market
lighting systems and customer specific energy efficient lighting solutions for a wide-range of use
in both the general commercial market and the pool market. The companys lighting technology
offers significant energy savings, heat dissipation, and maintenance cost benefits over
conventional lighting for multiple applications. The companys solutions include fiber optic
(EFO), light-emitting diode (LED), ceramic metal halide (CMH), high-intensity discharge
(HID), and other highly energy efficient lighting technologies. The companys strategy also
incorporates continued investment into researching new and emerging energy sources including, but
not limited to, solar energy for both the public and private sectors. Typical savings of current
technology average 80% in electricity costs, while providing full-spectrum light closely simulating
daylight colours.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies of the company, which are summarized below, are consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles and reflect practices appropriate to the business in which
it operates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates include, but are not limited to, the establishment of reserves for accounts receivable,
sales returns, inventory obsolescence, and warranty claims; the useful lives for property,
equipment, and intangible assets; and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year
presentation.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements (financial statements) include the accounts of the company
and its subsidiaries, Crescent Lighting Limited (CLL) located in the United Kingdom and LBM
Lichtleit-Fasertechnik (LBM) located in Germany. All significant inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)
Although unaudited, the interim financial statements in this report reflect all adjustments,
consisting only of all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
interim periods covered and of the financial condition of the company at the interim balance sheet
date. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results expected for the entire year.
Year-end Balance Sheet
The year-end balance sheet information was derived from audited financial statements but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the companys audited financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008, which are contained in the companys 2008 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

For those subsidiaries, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the
balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during
the year. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly to accumulated comprehensive
income as a component of shareholders equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are
included as a component of other income and expense. Gains and losses from foreign currency
translation are included as a separate component of comprehensive income (expense) within the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).
Liquidity
The company has continued to incur losses which have been attributable to operational performance,
restructuring, and miscellaneous non-cash charges. This trend has, in turn, led to negative cash
flows and ongoing bank debt compliance violations. The company has managed its liquidity during
this period through a series of previously announced cost reduction initiatives, bank debt
restructuring, and certain asset disposals. However, the ongoing global financial crisis has
continued to have a dramatic effect on the companys industry and customer base. Further, the
ongoing recession in the United States and Western Europe, combined with the slowdown of economic
growth in the rest of the world, continues to foster a business environment where it is extremely
difficult and costly to obtain either equity or non-equity financing. This environment has also
increased the potential for customer payment defaults. The companys liquidity position, as well
as its operating performance, has been negatively affected by these economic and industry
conditions and by other financial and business factors, many of which are beyond its control.
Management acknowledges that the level of negative cash utilization experienced during the six
months ended June 30, 2009, if sustained, could result in the insolvency of the company in 2009
without the infusion of additional equity or non-equity financing. Therefore, the company is
aggressively pursuing all of the following sources for working capital funding:
|
|
|
obtain loans from various financial institutions, |
|
|
|
|
obtain loans from one or more non-traditional investment capital organizations, |
|
|
|
|
sale and/or disposition of one or more operating units, and |
|
|
|
|
obtain funding from the sale of the companys common stock or other equity instruments. |
Obtaining financing through the above mentioned mechanisms contain risks, including:
|
|
|
loans or other debt instruments may have terms and/or conditions, such as interest rate,
restrictive covenants, and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to
management or our Board of Directors, |
|
|
|
|
the current global economic crisis combined with our current financial condition may
prevent us from being able to obtain any debt financing, |
|
|
|
|
financing may not be available for parties interested in pursuing the acquisition of one
or more of our operating units, and |
|
|
|
|
additional equity financing may not be available to us in the current economic
environment and could lead to further dilution of shareholder value for current
shareholders of record. |
The company continues to aggressively reduce costs, as evidenced in the $2,296,000 decrease in
operating expenses, net of a non-cash loss on impairment of fixed assets of $165,000, for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The companys
cash utilization was $1,187,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009; a 54.2% decrease compared
to the cash utilization for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $2,589,000. Management
continues to execute further cost reductions and organizational realignments in an effort to
sustain the companys ongoing viability throughout the remainder of 2009.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the
weighted average of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed
giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive
potential common shares consist of incremental shares upon exercise of stock options and warrants,
unless the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation
The companys stock-based compensation plans are described in detail in its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the company recorded compensation expense of
$168,000 and $364,000, respectively, compared to $214,000 and $433,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008. Total unearned compensation of $1,152,000 remains at June 30, 2009 compared
to $1,363,000 at June 30, 2008. These costs will be charged to expense, amortized on a straight
line basis, in future periods through 2013. The remaining weighted average life of the outstanding
options is approximately 1.8 years.
The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. Estimates utilized in the calculation include the expected life of option,
risk-free interest rate, and volatility, and are further comparatively detailed below. During the
six months ended June 30, 2009, the company granted 465,000 stock options compared to the 225,000
granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The fair value of each option grant and stock purchase plan grant combined is estimated on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average

On May 29, 2009, the companys five senior executive officers agreed to accept voluntary salary
reductions for the remainder of the 2009 calendar year in exchange for the issuance of restricted
shares of common stock as authorized under the companys 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. Two other key
executives of the company also accepted salary reductions for the balance of the year in exchange
for restricted shares. Each officer and key executive voluntarily accepted a ten percent (10%)
salary reduction for the remainder of 2009, except for one officer who voluntarily accepted a forty
percent (40%) decrease for the remainder of 2009. The number of restricted shares of common
stock issued to each officer and executive was equal to the dollar value of the individuals salary
reduction divided by the closing price per share of the companys common stock on May 29, 2009.
The total number of restricted shares of common stock issued to these officers and executives was
209,000. The company reserves the right to extend these salary reductions into the 2010 calendar
year and beyond.
On May 29, 2009, two members of the companys Board of Directors also voluntarily relinquished
their directors fee for the balance of 2009 in exchange for restricted shares of common stock on
the same terms as the shares granted to the officers. The number of restricted shares of common
stock issued to each director was equal to the dollar value of the individuals relinquished
directors fee divided by the closing price per share of the companys common stock on May 29,
2009. The total number of restricted shares of common stock issued to these directors was 19,000.
Product Warranties
The company warrants finished goods against defects in material and workmanship under normal use
and service for periods of one to three years. Settlement costs consist of actual amounts expensed
for warranty service, which are largely a result of third party service calls, and costs of
replacement products. A liability for the estimated future costs under product warranties is

5. Long-Term Borrowings
The companys bank line of credit in the United States is based on an agreement with Silicon Valley
Bank (SVB) dated October 15, 2008, modified effective January 31, 2009 and June 12, 2009, and
further modified effective July 22, 2009, as defined below. At June 30, 2009, this agreement
provided for a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit, renewable on a month-to-month basis. The
amount of borrowings available to the company is the lesser of $2,000,000 or 75% of eligible
accounts receivable, as defined by the agreement.
Borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by the companys assets, including intellectual
property, and bear interest at the SVB Prime Rate plus 1.50%, as of June 30, 2009. If the company
terminates the facility prior to maturity, it will be required to pay a 1.00% termination fee. The
company is required to maintain all of its cash and cash equivalents in operating and investment
accounts with SVB and its affiliates. The company is also required to comply with certain covenant
requirements, including a tangible net worth covenant. As of June 30, 2009, the company is not in
compliance with this financial covenant as defined by the original credit agreement. The interest
rate at June 30, 2009 was 5.50% and 5.00% at December 31, 2008. Borrowings under the revolving
line of credit were $1,776,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Available borrowings under
this revolving line of credit were $256,000 at June 30, 2009 and $263,000 at December 31, 2008.
The revolving line of credit borrowings are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a
current liability.
Effective January 31, 2009, the company entered into a First Loan Modification and Forbearance
Agreement with SVB which modified the one year credit agreement entered into on October 15, 2008.
This modification to the terms of the 2008 credit agreement states that borrowings bear interest at
the SVB Prime Rate plus 1.50%. SVB also agreed to forebear from exercising its rights and remedies
against the company as a result of violating its tangible net worth covenant as of December 31,
2008. This forbearance expired on February 15, 2009.
Effective June 12, 2009, the company entered into a Second Loan Modification and Forbearance
Agreement with SVB which further modified the one year credit agreement entered into on October 15,
2008, and modified January 31, 2009. This second modification to the terms of the 2008 credit
agreement states that borrowings bear interest at the SVB Prime Rate plus 1.50% through June 30,
2009. Beginning July 1, 2009 through, and including, September 30, 2009, borrowings bear interest
at the SVB Prime Rate plus 2.00%. Beginning October 1, 2009 and thereafter, borrowings bear
interest at the SVB Prime Rate plus 3.00%. While the company remained in violation of its tangible
net worth covenant, the company and SVB continued to cooperate to restructure the existing bank
line of credit. In addition, SVB agreed to forebear from exercising its rights and remedies
against the company as a result of violating its tangible net worth covenant as of June 30, 2009.
This forbearance expired on June 30, 2009.

ENERGY FOCUS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
Effective July 22, 2009, the company entered into a Third Loan Modification and Forbearance
Agreement with SVB which modifies the one year credit agreement entered into on October 15, 2008,
and modified effective January 31, 2009 and June 12, 2009. This third modification to the terms of
the 2008 credit agreement revised the amount of borrowings available to the company to be the
lesser of $2,000,000 or the sum of (i) 75% of eligible accounts receivable, and (ii) other cash
equivalents on deposit with SVB. While the company remained in violation of its tangible net worth
covenant, the company and SVB continued to cooperate to restructure the existing bank line of
credit. In addition, SVB agreed to forebear from exercising its rights and remedies against the
company as a result of violating its tangible net worth covenant as of July 31, 2009. This
forbearance was due to expire on July 31, 2009.
SVB has informed the company that it does not intend to renew the companys line of credit when it
expires on October 15, 2009. The company is actively engaged in discussions with other potential
financing sources to replace the SVB line of credit and is currently reviewing credit agreement
proposals it has received from selected financial institutions.
On May 27, 2009, the company entered into a Promissory Note (Note) with The Quercus Trust (The
Trust) in the amount of $70,000. Under the terms of this Note, the company agrees to pay The
Trust the principal sum of the Note and interest accruing at a yearly rate of 1.00% in one lump sum
payment on or before June 1, 2109. The company received the funds on June 9, 2009.
Through the companys United Kingdom subsidiary, the company maintains a bank overdraft facility of
$415,000 (in British pounds sterling, based on the exchange rate at June 30, 2009) under an
agreement with Lloyds Bank Plc. There were no borrowings against this facility as of June 30, 2009
or December 31, 2008. This facility is renewed annually on January 1. The interest rate on the
facility was 2.75% at June 30, 2009, and 7.25% at December 31, 2008.
Through the companys German subsidiary, the company maintained a credit facility under an
agreement with Sparkasse Neumarkt Bank. This credit facility was put in place to finance the
building of offices in Berching, Germany, which were owned and occupied by the companys German
subsidiary. In June, 2009, the company paid, in its entirety, the balance due on the credit
facility with proceeds received from the sale of the office building in Berching, Germany.
Borrowings against this facility were $299,000 at December 31, 2008 (in Euros, based on the
exchange rate at December 31, 2008). The interest rate was 5.49% at December 31, 2008.
In addition, the companys German subsidiary has a revolving line of credit with Sparkasse Neumarkt
Bank. As of June 30, 2009, there were no borrowings against this line of credit and borrowings of
$128,000 (in Euros, based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2008) at December 31, 2008. This
revolving facility is renewed annually on January 1. The interest rate on this line of credit was
11.00% at December 31, 2008.

8. Income Taxes
At June 30, 2009, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against the companys deferred tax
assets in the United States and Germany, due to uncertainties related to its ability to utilize
its deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of certain net operating losses carried forward.
The valuation allowance is based upon the companys estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction
and the period over which its deferred tax assets will be recoverable.
9. Related Party Transactions
On February 3, 2006, the company had entered into a consulting agreement with David Ruckert, a
member of its Board of Directors. This agreement was terminated on June 30, 2007. No payments were
made during the three months ending June 30, 2009 or June 30, 2008. Additionally, Mr. Ruckert was
granted options to purchase 32,000 shares of the companys common stock. Stock expense incurred
under FAS 123(R) related to these options was $7,000 and $15,000 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2009, respectively, and $7,000 and $15,000 for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008.

ENERGY FOCUS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
On October 19, 2007, the company entered into a management agreement with Barry Greenwald, General
Manager of its Pool Lighting Division. Per this agreement, the company was to pay Mr. Greenwald
nonrefundable amounts totaling $309,000 of additional compensation, of which $77,000 was paid on
November 1, 2007. Upon Mr. Greenwalds termination on January 21, 2008, the company incurred an
expense of $232,000, of which $77,000 was paid on March 14, 2008.
On March 14, 2008, the company received an additional $9,335,000 in equity financing, net of
expenses. The investment was made by several then current Energy Focus, Inc. shareholders,
including four then current members of the companys Board of Directors. These investors agreed to
an at-market purchase of approximately 3.1 million units for $3.205 per unit, based on the closing
bid price of the companys common shares on March 13, 2008 of $3.08. Each unit comprises one share
of the companys common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one warrant to purchase one share
of the companys common stock at an exercise price of $3.08 per share. The warrants were
immediately separable from the units and immediately exercisable, and will expire five years after
the date of their issuance. This additional financing was to be used to fund working capital, pay
debt and perform additional research and development. The company received 100% of the funds from
escrow on March 17, 2008. Among the investors were Ronald A. Casentini, John M. Davenport, John B.
Stuppin, and Philip E. Wolfson, all of whom were members of its Board of Directors at the time of
the transaction, and who invested approximately $100,000 in the aggregate. Also among the
investors was The Quercus Trust (The Trust), whose trustees include David Gelbaum, who became a
member of the companys Board of Directors in February, 2009.
On May 27, 2009, the company entered into a Promissory Note (Note) with The Trust in the amount
of $70,000. Under the terms of this Note, the company agrees to pay The Trust the principal sum of
the Note and interest accruing at a yearly rate of 1.00% in one lump sum payment on or before June
1, 2109. The company received the funds on June 9, 2009.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes
included elsewhere in this report and the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
When used in this discussion, the words expects, anticipates, estimates, plan, and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements, which include
statements as to our expected sales and gross profit margins, expected operating expenses and
capital expenditure levels, our sales and marketing expenses, our general and administrative
expenses, expected expenses related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the

OVERVIEW
We are engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of lighting systems and
customer specific energy efficient lighting solutions for a wide-range of use in the general
commercial, industrial, and the pool markets. Our lighting technology offers significant energy
savings, heat dissipation, and maintenance cost benefits over conventional lighting for multiple
applications. Our solutions include fiber optic (EFO), light-emitting diode (LED), ceramic
metal halide (CMH), high-intensity discharge (HID), and other highly energy efficient lighting
technologies. Our strategy also incorporates continued investment into researching new and
emerging energy sources including, but not limited to, solar energy for both the public and private
sectors. Typical savings of current technology average 80% in electricity costs, while providing
full-spectrum light closely simulating daylight colours.
We expect to continue our ongoing leadership role in the United States governments Very High
Efficiency Solar Cell (VHESC) Consortium sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA), where we expect to be able to commercialize a solar cell technology that will
significantly surpass current solar efficiencies ranging from 6% - 20%. Our proven optics
technology has already shown the ability to achieve approximately 40% efficiency in a laboratory
environment and we believe that this efficiency, or greater, can be achieved on a cost-effective,
commercially-viable scale.
On July 30, 2009, we announced that we had been selected to receive a $1,400,000 contract by the
Naval Research Warfare Center to develop and produce solid state lighting fixtures for use
specifically on Virginia Class attack submarines.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cash utilization was $1,187,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009; a 54.2% decrease compared
to the three months ended June 30, 2008. Cash utilization for the three months ended June 30, 2008
was $2,589,000. Cash utilization was $4,955,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009; a 13.9%
decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cash utilization for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 was $5,753,000.
Net sales
were $3,815,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009; a decrease of 49.9% compared to
the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decline primarily resulted from decreased pool lighting
sales, $1,365,000, decreased sales by our European subsidiaries, $1,806,000, and decreased
government sales, $534,000, from second quarter 2008 levels. EFO sales were $1,765,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2009; a decrease of $2,166,000, or 55.1%, from the three months ended
June 30, 2008.
Net sales
were $6,620,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009; a
decrease of 46.8% compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decline primarily resulted from decreased pool lighting
sales, $2,301,000, decreased sales by our European subsidiaries, $2,734,000, and decreased
government sales, $803,000, from first half 2008 levels. EFO sales were $3,308,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2009; a decrease of $2,707,000, or 45.0%, from first half 2008 levels.
EFO sales in 2009 and 2008 include sales from EFO fiber optic lighting, EFO LED, EFO Controls, and
EFO Government products.
15
Gross profit was $799,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009; a 67.3% decrease compared to
the three months ended June 30, 2008. Gross profit was $1,117,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2009; a 69.7% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The gross profit margin
as a percentage of sales decreased to 20.9% and 16.9% for the three and six months ended June 30,
2009, respectively, as compared to 32.1% and 29.6% for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008, respectively.
Deteriorating global economic conditions within the housing and construction industries have had an
adverse impact not only on our ability to expand within current markets, but also to penetrate new
markets. For 2009, we continue to combat these global economic pressures by focusing sales
resources in new and existing market channels including food retailers, cold storage, and
government facilities. Furthermore, we will continue to implement strategic sourcing and
operational cost reductions on a global basis. Selected price increases will also be implemented.
Lastly, we are accelerating our transition into a turn-key energy solutions service provider.
Net research and development expenses were $253,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009; an
increase of $61,000, or 31.8%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. Gross expenses
for research and development decreased by 20.3% from prior year levels primarily due to lower
project costs in the United States. Net research and development expenses were $483,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2009; a decrease of $10,000, or 2.0%, as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2008. Gross expenses for research and development decreased by 11.1% from prior year
levels primarily due to lower project costs in the United States.
Our gross research and development expenses are reduced on a proportional performance basis under
DARPA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) development contracts. In 2007, SBIR contracts
were signed totaling $1,500,000 to be reimbursed over a two-year recovery period. During the first
quarter of 2009, additional SBIR contracts were signed totaling $198,000 to be reimbursed over an
eight month recovery period. At June 30, 2009, $127,000 remained as unrecognized reductions of
gross research and development expenses for these contracts. We are currently pursuing additional
contracts through various government agencies, and anticipate being granted additional contracts
during the remainder of 2009. The gross research and development spending along with credits from
government contracts is shown in the table (in thousands):

Sales and marketing expenses decreased 39.2% to $1,650,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009
as compared to $2,712,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Sales and marketing expenses
decreased 38.0% to $3,530,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $5,690,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2008. These decreases are primarily due to lower salaries and
benefits and advertising expenses on a global basis, as well as managements efforts to reduce
costs.
General and administrative expenses increased 1.7% to $1,202,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2009 as compared to $1,182,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. General and
administrative expenses decreased 4.9% to $2,426,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as
compared to $2,552,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to
lower professional fees in the United States, as well as managements efforts to reduce costs.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized a non-cash expense of $165,000 for the
impairment of certain fixed assets being held for sale. This asset impairment stemmed from the
sale of the office building owned and occupied by our German subsidiary, as well as other
associated fixed assets. There was no impairment of fixed assets in 2008.
We recorded a net loss of $2,349,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a 43.3% increase
from the net loss of $1,639,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. We recorded a net loss
of $5,390,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a 5.9% increase from the net loss of
$5,088,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents were $5,613,000 as compared to $10,568,000 at
December 31, 2008, a net cash decrease of $4,955,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This
compares to a net cash increase of $3,837,000 for six months ended June 30, 2008 resulting from the
receipt of $9,335,000 of proceeds, net of expenses, from the March 14, 2008 equity financing.
16
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities primarily consists of net loss adjusted by non-cash items,
including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and the effect of changes in
working capital. Cash decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2009, by a net loss of
$5,390,000, compared to a net loss of $5,088,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. After
adjustments, net cash used in operating activities was $4,702,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2009, an increase of 15.9% compared to a net cash usage of $4,058,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2008.
Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $169,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009;
compared to a net cash usage of $298,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease is
primarily due to the proceeds generated from the sale of fixed assets associated with our German
subsidiary partially offset by acquisitions of fixed assets during the period.
Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $331,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This
cash usage was due to payment on our lines of credit, $2,027,000, and long-term bank borrowings,
$288,000, offset by borrowings on our lines of credit of $1,904,000. For the six months ended June
30, 2008, financing activities contributed $8,262,000. This net contribution was due primarily to
cash proceeds from issuances of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock
for $9,335,000.
Our bank line of credit in the United States is based on an agreement with Silicon Valley Bank
(SVB) dated October 15, 2008, modified effective January 31, 2009 and further modified effective
June 12, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, this agreement provides for a $2,000,000 revolving line of
credit, renewable on a month-to-month basis. The amount of borrowings available to the company is
the lesser of $2,000,000 or 75% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined by the agreement.
Borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by our assets, including intellectual property,
and bear interest at the SVB Prime Rate plus 1.50%, as of June 30, 2009. If we terminate the
facility prior to maturity, we will be required to pay a 1.00% termination fee. We are required to
maintain all of our cash and cash equivalents in operating and investment accounts with SVB and its
affiliates. We are also required to comply with certain covenant requirements, including a
tangible net worth covenant. As of June 30, 2009, we were not in compliance with this financial
covenant as defined by the original credit agreement. The interest rate at June 30, 2009 was 5.50%
and 5.00% at December 31, 2008. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit were $1,776,000 at
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Available borrowings under this revolving line of credit were
$256,000 at June 30, 2009 and $263,000 at December 31, 2008. The revolving line of credit
borrowings are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a current liability.
Effective January 31, 2009, we entered into a First Loan Modification and Forbearance Agreement
with SVB which modified the one year credit agreement entered into on October 15, 2008. This
modification to the terms of the 2008 credit agreement states that borrowings bear interest at the
SVB Prime Rate plus 1.50%. SVB also agreed to forebear from exercising its rights and remedies
against the company as a result of violating its tangible net worth covenant as of December 31,
2008. This forbearance expired on February 15, 2009.
Effective June 12, 2009, we entered into a Second Loan Modification and Forbearance Agreement with
SVB which further modified the one year credit agreement entered into on October 15, 2008, and
modified January 31, 2009. This second modification to the terms of the 2008 credit agreement
states that borrowings bear interest at the SVB Prime Rate plus 1.50% through June 30, 2009.
Beginning July 1, 2009 through, and including, September 30, 2009, borrowings bear interest at the
SVB Prime Rate plus 2.00%. Beginning October 1, 2009 and thereafter, borrowings bear interest at
the SVB Prime Rate plus 3.00%. While we remained in violation of our tangible net worth covenant,
we continued to cooperate with SVB to restructure the existing bank line of credit. In addition,
SVB agreed to forebear from exercising its rights and remedies against us as a result of violating
our tangible net worth covenant as of June 30, 2009. This forbearance expired on June 30, 2009.
Effective July 22, 2009, we entered into a Third Loan Modification and Forbearance Agreement with
SVB which modifies the one year credit agreement entered into on October 15, 2008, and modified
January 31, 2009 and June 12, 2009. This third modification to the terms of the 2008 credit
agreement revised the amount of borrowings available to us to be the lesser of $2,000,000 or the
sum of (i) 75% of eligible accounts receivable, and (ii) other cash equivalents on deposit with
SVB. While we remained in violation of our tangible net worth covenant, we continued to cooperate
with SVB to restructure the existing bank line of credit. In addition, SVB agreed to forebear from
exercising its rights and remedies against us as a result of violating our tangible net worth
covenant as of July 31, 2009. This forbearance was due to expire on July 31, 2009.
17
SVB has informed us that it does not intend to renew our line of credit when it expires on October
15, 2009. We are actively engaged in discussions with other potential financing sources to replace
the SVB line of credit and are currently reviewing credit agreement proposals we have received from
selected financial institutions.
On May 27, 2009, we entered into a Promissory Note (Note) with The Quercus Trust (The Trust) in
the amount of $70,000. Under the terms of this Note, we agree to pay The Trust the principal sum
of the Note and interest accruing at a yearly rate of 1.00% in one lump sum payment on or before
June 1, 2109. We received the funds on June 9, 2009.
Through our United Kingdom subsidiary, we maintain a bank overdraft facility of $415,000 (in
British pounds sterling, based on the exchange rate at June 30, 2009) under an agreement with
Lloyds Bank Plc. There were no borrowings against this facility as of June 30, 2009 or December
31, 2008. This facility is renewed annually on January 1. The interest rate on the facility was
2.75% at June 30, 2009, and 7.25% at December 31, 2008.
Through our German subsidiary, we maintained a credit facility under an agreement with Sparkasse
Neumarkt Bank. This credit facility was put in place to finance the building of offices in
Berching, Germany, which were owned and occupied by our German subsidiary. In June, 2009, we paid,
in its entirety, the balance due on the credit facility with proceeds received from the sale of the
office building in Berching, Germany. Borrowings against this facility were $299,000 at December
31, 2008 (in Euros, based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2008). The interest rate was 5.49%
at December 31, 2008.
In addition, our German subsidiary has a revolving line of credit with Sparkasse Neumarkt Bank. As
of June 30, 2009, there were no borrowings against this line of credit and borrowings of $128,000
(in Euros, based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2008) at December 31, 2008. This revolving
facility is renewed annually on January 1. The interest rate on this line of credit was 11.00% at
December 31, 2008.
We have continued to incur losses which have been attributable to operational performance,
restructuring, and miscellaneous non-cash charges. This trend has, in turn, led to negative cash
flows and ongoing bank debt compliance violations. We have managed our liquidity during this
period through a series of previously announced cost reduction initiatives, bank debt
restructuring, and asset disposals. However, the ongoing global financial crisis has continued to
have a dramatic effect on our industry and customer base. Further, the ongoing recession in the
United States and Western Europe, combined with the slowdown of economic growth in the rest of the
world, continues to foster a business environment where it is extremely difficult and costly to
obtain either equity or non-equity financing. This environment has also increased the potential
for customer payment defaults. Our liquidity position, as well as our operating performance, has
been negatively affected by these economic and industry conditions and by other financial and
business factors, many of which are beyond its control.
Management acknowledges that the level of negative cash utilization experienced during the six
months ended June 30, 2009, if sustained, could result in the insolvency of the company in 2009
without the infusion of additional equity or non-equity financing. Therefore, we are aggressively
pursuing all of the following sources for working capital funding:
|
|
|
obtain loans from various financial institutions, |
|
|
|
|
obtain loans from one or more non-traditional investment capital organizations, |
|
|
|
|
sale and/or disposition of one or more operating units, and |
|
|
|
|
obtain funding from the sale of our common stock or other equity instruments. |
Obtaining financing through the above mentioned mechanisms contain risks, including:
|
|
|
loans or other debt instruments may have terms and/or conditions, such as interest rate,
restrictive covenants, and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to
management or our Board of Directors, |
|
|
|
|
the current global economic crisis combined with our current financial condition may
prevent us from being able to obtain any debt financing, |
|
|
|
|
financing may not be available for parties interested in pursuing the acquisition of one
or more of our operating units, and |
|
|
|
|
additional equity financing may not be available to us in the current economic
environment and could lead to further dilution of shareholder value for current
shareholders of record. |
We continue to aggressively reduce costs, as evidenced in the $2,296,000 decrease in operating
expenses, net of a non-cash loss on impairment of fixed assets of $165,000, for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our cash utilization was
$1,187,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009; a 54.2% decrease compared to the cash
utilization for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $2,589,000. Management is executing
further cost reductions and organizational realignments in an effort to sustain our ongoing
viability throughout the remainder of 2009.
In July, 2009, we engaged a leading mergers and acquisitions advisory firm to assist us in
evaluating and valuing our individual operating business units and to support the potential
divestiture of one or more of those business units.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingencies and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the financial statements. Material differences may
result in the amount and timing of revenue and expenses if different judgments or different
estimates were utilized. Critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates which we believe
have the most significant impact on our financial statements include allowances for doubtful
accounts, returns, warranties, valuation of inventories, and stock based compensation. For the
detailed discussion of the application of policies critical to our business operations, see our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), which defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. This guidance applies only when other guidance requires or permits assets or
liabilities to be measured at fair value; it does not expand the use of fair value in any new
circumstances. FAS 157 went into effect for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007
(effective January 1, 2008, for our company). In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position FAS
157-1, which provides that FAS 157 does not apply under FAS 13, Accounting for Leases, and other
accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for leases. We adopted the
financial assets and liabilities portion of this FASB and it had no effect. In February 2008, the
FASB also issued Staff Position FAS 157-2, which delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all
nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). For items within the scope of Staff
Position FAS 157-2, the effective date will be for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008
(January 1, 2009, for our company). Management is continuing to evaluate the effect that this
guidance may have on our overall financial position or results of operations and does not
anticipate that it will have a significant impact.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities (FAS 159). This guidance provides an option to selectively report financial
assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements
designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes
for similar types of assets and liabilities. FAS 159 was in effect for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007 (effective January 1, 2008, for our company). We have elected to not apply
this fair value option to any of our existing assets or liabilities. However, we may adopt this
guidance for assets or liabilities in the future as permitted under FAS 159.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (FAS 141(R)). The new
pronouncement requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize only the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction (e.g., acquisition costs must be expensed when
incurred), establishes the fair value at the date of acquisition as the initial measurement for all
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires expanded disclosures. FAS 141(R) is in
effect for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009, for our company).
Management is continuing to evaluate the effect that this guidance may have on our overall
financial position or results of operations and does not anticipate that it will have a significant
impact.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160). The new pronouncement requires all entities to
report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as a component of shareholders equity.
FAS 160 is in effect for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009, for our
company). Management is continuing to evaluate the effect that this guidance may have on our
overall financial position or results of operations and does not anticipate that it will have a
significant impact.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of June 30, 2009, we had $543,000 in cash held in foreign currencies based on the exchange
rates at June 30, 2009. The balances for cash held overseas in foreign currencies are subject to
exchange rate risk. We have a policy of maintaining cash balances in local currencies unless an
amount of cash is occasionally transferred in order to repay inter-company debts.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and
evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls
and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our
disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet, and management believes they meet,
reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures,
our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure
controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, subject to the
limitations noted above, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that
material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation during our last fiscal
quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
