(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Energy Focus, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) engage in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and installation of energy-efficient lighting systems and solutions where the Company serves two segments:

solutions-based sales providing turnkey, high-quality, energy-efficient lighting application alternatives primarily to the existing public-sector building market; and

product-based sales providing military, general commercial and industrial lighting and pool lighting offerings, each of which markets and sells energy-efficient lighting systems.

The Company continues to evolve its business strategy to include providing its customers with turnkey, comprehensive energy-efficient lighting solutions, which use, but are not limited to, its patented and proprietary technology. Company product-based solutions include light-emitting diode (“LED”), fiber optic, high-intensity discharge (“HID”), fluorescent tube and other highly energy-efficient lighting technologies. Typical savings related to the current technology of the Company approximates 80% in electricity costs, while providing full-spectrum light closely simulating daylight colors. The Company’s strategy also incorporates continued investment into the research of new and emerging energy sources including, but not limited to, LED and solar energy applications.

NOTE 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; revenues recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis; and stock-based compensation. In addition, estimates and assumptions associated with the determination of the fair value of financial instruments and evaluation of goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment requires considerable judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“financial statements”), and related notes thereto, to be consistent with the current year presentation.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Stones River Companies, LLC (“SRC”) in Nashville, Tennessee, and Crescent Lighting Limited (“CLL”) located in the United Kingdom. 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.

ENERGY FOCUS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012

(Unaudited)

The Company’s independent public accounting firm has issued an opinion in connection with its 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K raising substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.

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 Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, which are contained in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and amendments thereof (“Form 10-K”).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB amended fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to achieve convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amended guidance modifies the measurement of fair value, clarifies verbiage and changes disclosure or other requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance is effective during the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income. The guidance was issued to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB amended guidance relating to the goodwill impairment test. The changes are intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual test by providing entities and option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The revised guidance includes examples of events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. The changes are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as stipulated.

Retainage Receivable

The Company’s solutions-based sales are normally subject to a holdback of a percentage of the sale as retainage. This holdback is recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Retainage receivable”. Retainage is a portion of the total bid price of a project that is held back by the customer until the project is complete and functioning satisfactorily according to the contract terms. Retainage percentages typically range from 5% to 10% and are collected anywhere from three to eighteen months from the inception of the project. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had a Retainage receivable from its customers totalling $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Collateralized Assets

The Company maintains $1.0 million of cash collateral related to its surety bonding program associated with SRC. This cash is pledged to the surety carrier until such time as the Company is able to provide sufficient alternative means of collateralization satisfactory to the surety carrier.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were 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.

Options and warrants to purchase approximately 15,296,000 and 5,254,000 shares of common stock, were outstanding at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, but were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation plan is described in detail in its 2011 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The following table summarizes the Company’s stock-based compensation (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,

Employee incentive stock-based compensation		-		-		-		106
Total stock-based compensation	$	46	$	126	$	104	$	309

Total unearned compensation of $0.3 million related to stock options remains at June 30, 2012 compared to $0.4 million at June 30, 2011. These costs will be charged to expense and amortized on a straight line basis in future periods through the first quarter of 2016. The weighted average period over which this unearned compensation is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.6 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 the option, risk-free interest rate, and expected volatility, and are further comparatively detailed as follows:

	Six months ended June 30,
	2012			2011

Fair value of options issued	$	0.21		$	0.59

The Company granted 1,000,000 performance-based stock options during the year ended December 31, 2010. These performance-based stock options are exercisable by the grantees if, and only if, the Company achieves required revenue and cash-flow generation targets as reported in the Company‘s 2010 Form 10-K. Of the 1,000,000 performance-based stock options awarded in 2010, 850,000 stock options were canceled in the first half of 2011 as a result of these defined targets not being achieved during the year ended December 31, 2010.

In addition to the above, the Company granted 615,000 stock options, 115,000 restricted stock options, had stock option exercises of 7,500 shares, and had cancellations of 363,000 stock options for the period ended June 30, 2011. The Company granted 10,000 stock options and had cancellations of 89,000 stock options for the period ended June 30, 2012.

Product Warranties

The Company warrants finished goods against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for periods of one to five years for products and labor. Settlement costs consist of actual amounts expensed for warranty services which are largely a result of third-party service calls and the costs of replacement products. A liability for the estimated future costs under product warranties is maintained for products outstanding under warranty and is included in “Accrued liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The warranty activity for the respective periods is as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company amortizes Tradenames on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets. Customer relationships are amortized over their expected useful lives on an accelerated method that approximates the cash flows associated with those relationships. Based on the carrying value of amortized intangible assets the Company estimates amortization expense for future years to be as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 7. DEBT

Credit Facilities

On December 22, 2011, the Company entered into a $4.5 million revolving line of credit (“credit facility”) with Rosenthal & Rosenthal. The total loan amount available to the Company under the line of credit is equal to 85% of its net amount of eligible receivables, plus available inventory (the lesser of 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible inventory, or $0.3 million). The credit facility is secured by a lien on the domestic assets of the Company. The interest rate for borrowing on accounts receivable is 8.5%, on inventories 10.0% and on overdrafts 13.0%. Additionally, there is an annual 1% facility fee on the entire amount of the credit facility, $4.5 million, payable at the beginning of the year. The credit facility is a three year agreement, expiring on December 31, 2014, unless terminated sooner. There are liquidated damages if the credit facility is terminated prior to December 31, 2014, which are based on the maximum credit facility amount then in effect. The damages are: 3% if terminated prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, 2% if terminated prior to the second anniversary of the closing date, and 1% if terminated prior to the third anniversary of the closing date.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In connection with the acquisition of SRC in December 2010, the Company recorded a performance-related contingent obligation related to a 2.5% payout payable over 42 months commencing January 1, 2010 and based upon the fair value of projected annual billings of the acquired business, and a $0.5 million fee if the market price of the Company’s common stock is not equal to or greater than $2.00 per share for at least twenty trading days between June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2013. The Company accrued for each of these contingent liabilities at their respective fair values at the time of the acquisition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company paid $54 thousand and $0.1 million, respectively, relating to the 2.5% payout. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, relating to the payout.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company reassessed the carrying value of the contingent liability related to the 2.5% payout and, based upon revised projected future billings, subsequently recorded a reduction to the contingent liability of $0.4 million. At June 30, 2012, the Company has recorded a current liability related to these contingent obligations of $0.9 million, which is recorded under the caption “Accrued liabilities” in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On December 29, 2009, and in conjunction with the acquisition of SRC, the Company entered into Letter of Credit Agreements (“LOC’s”) with John Davenport, President of the Company, and with Quercus, for $0.3 million each. In March 2012, both of these LOC’s were paid in full. Additionally, on August 11, 2011, the Company entered into a LOC agreement with Mark Plush, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, for $0.3 million. For a full description of the terms of these LOC’s, reference is made to Note 10 of the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.

The former Vice President of SRC, who resigned on December 31, 2011, is a minority owner in TLC Investments, LLC (“TLC”), a Tennessee limited liability company, as well as in Woodstone Energy, LLC (“Woodstone”), a Tennessee limited liability company, both of which are located in Nashville, Tennessee.

SRC renders lighting design and lighting solution services to these parties within the scope of their ordinary business activities. Conversely, these parties, operating as electrical subcontractors, provide installation support services to SRC as part of their normal business. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded revenue of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The receivable from these parties, including retainage, was $0.4 million at December 31, 2011. Subcontractor installation support services provided by these parties totaled $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2011, and $4.1 million for the first half of 2011. The payable to these parties was $1.2 million at December 31, 2011.

With the acquisition of SRC, the Company entered into an agreement with the seller, TLC, whereby, SRC would be guaranteed a profit percentage of 25% on certain projects which were begun prior to the acquisition or were out for bid at the time the acquisition occurred on December 31, 2009. During 2012, a small number of SRC projects continue to be subject to this guarantee, as the majority of these projects have been completed.

In conjunction with the acquisition of SRC on December 31, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with TLC whereby a Convertible Promissory Note (“Convertible Note”) was issued for the principal amount of $0.5 million. This Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus two percent (2%), which along with the principal, is due and payable on June 30, 2013. Additionally, TLC has the right to convert the principal of the Convertible Note, in whole, into 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at any time during the period commencing on June 30, 2010 and ending on the maturity date.

Additionally, as a provision to the Convertible Note, if the reported closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock is not equal to or greater than $2.00 for at least twenty (20) trading days between June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2013, the Company shall pay TLC an additional fee of $0.5 million on the maturity date.

On December 31, 2009, the Company issued to Woodstone, warrants to purchase up to 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an original exercise price of $0.65 per share, later re-priced to $0.49 during the first quarter of 2012, and with a term ending on December 31, 2014. The warrants become exercisable only if SRC receives from Woodstone firm contracts or purchase orders for at least $10.0 million by June 30, 2013. The warrants vest in two tranches: 400,000 shares when contracts or purchase orders between SRC and Woodstone reach $10.0 million and an additional 200,000 shares when contracts or purchase orders between SRC and Woodstone reach an additional $5.0 million. As of June 30, 2012, warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have vested but have not been exercised.

The Company, in the agreement for the acquisition of SRC, provided for payment of a management fee of 8% in support of billings, on projects that were pending at the date of acquisition, for which TLC provided installation support services. For the first three and six months ended June 30, 2011, SRC incurred $0.2 million and $0.3 million of management fees, respectively.

NOTE 12. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY

Between February 29, 2012 and March 2, 2012, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with ten investors, under which it sold 19,600,000 units, each of which consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half warrant to purchase one share of common stock, and raised $4.9 million. The purchase price of each unit was $0.25, based on a formula involving the stock’s 30 day average price prior to February 24, 2012. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.54. Each warrant is immediately separable from the unit and immediately exercisable, and expires three years from the date of issuance. The Company used the proceeds of the offering to retire debt and for working capital purposes. Eight of the ten investors are new investors and the largest single investment was $1.0 million.

Net Sales

Our sales breakdown by business segment are as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Solutions:
Net sales - solutions	$	2,105	$	3,344	$	3,745	$	5,946

Total net sales	$	7,672	$	8,193	$	12,974	$	13,653

Total net sales of $7.7 million and $13.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, decreased 6 percent and 5 percent, respectively, from the same periods last year. The decline was due to lower net sales in the solutions segment, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, which was partially offset by a 15 percent and a 20 percent increase in products segment sales from the prior year’s three and six months, respectively. Solutions sales decreased primarily as a result of lower sales at a major customer. Sales for the products segment increased primarily as a result of higher U.S. sales for pool and commercial products. Our solutions segment backlog at June 30, 2012 and 2011was $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Revenues from our product-based business include, but are not limited to, revenues recognized upon shipping and service at completion of installation. Revenues from our lighting solutions-based business include, but are not limited to, revenues recognized from long-term contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis or the fair value of certain contract deliverables. For a detailed discussion on our revenue recognition policy, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Gross Profit

Total gross profit was $1.7 million, 22.2 percent of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.5 million, 18.9 percent of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The $0.2 million increase in gross profit was primarily the result of an improvement in the solutions segment gross margins, 20.3 percent compared to the prior year’s comparable period of 11.9 percent. Additionally, the products segment net sales were a higher percentage of total sales and that segment has higher gross margins than the solutions segment. Gross profit for the products segment was 22.9 percent of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 23.7 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Total gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $2.5 million, 19.2 percent of net sales, compared to $2.7 million, 19.8 percent of net sales, for the prior year’s comparable period. The decrease in gross margins was due primarily to lower net sales, $2.2 million, in the solutions segment. This was partially offset by a $1.5 million net sales increase in the products segment. Gross profit margins for the solutions segment was 13.5 percent of net sales and 15.9 percent of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Gross profit margins for the products segment was 21.5 percent of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 22.8 percent of net sales for last year’s comparable period.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Gross research and development expenses were $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a 39 percent decrease from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was due primarily to lower project related expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, gross research and development expenses were $1.9 million compared to $2.1 million for the prior year’s comparable period.

Research and development expenses include salaries, contractor and consulting fees, supplies and materials, as well as costs related to other overhead such as depreciation and facilities costs. Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred.

Total government reimbursements are the combination of revenues and credits from government contracts.

The gross and net research and development expense along with credits from government contracts is shown in the following table (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses were $1.4 million or 18.1 percent of net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $1.6 million or 20.0 percent of net sales in last year’s comparable period, a decrease of 15 percent. The decrease is due to lower salary costs, and lower discretionary spending. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, sales and marketing expenses were $2.7 million, a 25 percent decrease from the prior year’s six month period. The decrease was due primarily to lower salaries, lower commission expense and lower discretionary spending.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $1.1 million, 14.5 percent of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.0 million, 12.7 percent of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, general and administrative expenses were $2.3 million compared to $2.6 million in last year’s comparable period, a 14 percent decrease. The decrease was due to lower amortization expense, legal fees and directors fees.

Valuation of Equity Instruments

During the first quarter of 2011, we recognized a non-cash charge of $56 thousand related to the valuation of our common stock upon the issuance of 412,000 shares to Lincoln Park Capital Partners, LLC. No valuation adjustments were made in 2012.

Other Income and Expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, interest expense was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, interest expense was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Interest expense is primarily related to our debt, which includes the amortization of debt discounts and, in 2012, interest on our line of credit facility.

Net Loss

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the net loss was $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a net loss of $2.8 million, compared $4.0 million in last year’s comparable period; a $1.2 million improvement on $0.7 million lower sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At June 30, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents were $0.6 million, compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 2011; a decrease of $1.5 million. The balance at June 30, 2012 includes restricted cash of $73 thousand, compared to $19 thousand of restricted cash at December 31, 2011. The restricted cash relates to funds received from a grant from/for a branch of the United States government. We had $3.1 million in total borrowings as of June 30, 2012 and $2.5 million as of December 31, 2011.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $6.7 million compared to net cash used of $3.8 million in 2011. Cash used in operating activities primarily consists of net losses adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation; and the effect of changes in working capital.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and $0.2 million for the same period in 2011, and consisted primarily of the purchase of property and equipment.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our credit line borrowings provided $1.4 million of cash proceeds, and net cash proceeds from stock issuances provided $4.8 million. Between February 29, 2012 and March 2, 2012, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with ten investors, under which we sold 19,600,000 units, each of which consists of one share of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The purchase price of each unit was $0.25, based on a formula involving the stock’s 30 day average price prior to February 24, 2012. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.54. Each warrant is immediately separable from the unit and immediately exercisable, and expires three years from the date of issuance. We used the proceeds of the offering to retire $0.9 million of debt and for working capital purposes. The cash provided for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was primarily due to the issuance of 412,000 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC. For details of the Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC Purchase Agreement, reference is made to Note 12, Shareholders’ Equity, of the Company’s Form 10-K. The agreement with Lincoln Park Capital, LLC expired as of July 23, 2012, by the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Debt

Credit Facilities

On December 22, 2011, we entered into a $4.5 million revolving line of credit (“credit facility”) with Rosenthal & Rosenthal. The total loan amount available to us under the line of credit is equal to 85% of our net amount of eligible receivables, plus available inventory (the lesser of 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible inventory, or $0.3 million). The credit facility is secured by a lien on our domestic assets. The interest rate for borrowing on accounts receivable is 8.5%, on inventories 10.0% and on overdrafts 13.0%. Additionally, there is an annual 1% facility fee on the entire amount of the credit facility, $4.5 million, payable at the beginning of the year. The credit facility is a three year agreement, expiring on December 31, 2014, unless terminated sooner. There are liquidated damages if the credit facility is terminated prior to December 31, 2014, which are based on the maximum credit facility amount then in effect. The damages are: 3% if terminated prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, 2% if terminated prior to the second anniversary of the closing date, and 1% if terminated prior to the third anniversary of the closing date. We are required to comply with certain financial covenants, measured quarterly, including, as defined in the agreement: a tangible net worth amount and a working capital amount. We were in compliance with the financial covenants at June 30, 2012. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit were $2.1 million at June 30, 2012, and $0.7 million at December 31, 2011, and are recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a current liability under the caption “Credit line borrowings.”

Borrowings

Long-term debt, including current maturities, totaled $1.0 million at June 30, 2012 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2011. The change in long-term debt resulted from $861 thousand in payments and $77 thousand from the amortization of discounts on long-term debt. We were able to pay down debt with the proceeds from the Securities Purchase Agreement described in the “Cash Provided by Financing Activities” section above.

For details of a full description of the Company’s debt financing, reference is made to Note 10 of the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.

Liquidity

Historically, we have incurred losses attributable to operational performance which has negatively impacted cash flows. As of June 30, 2012, we have an accumulated deficit of $77.7 million. Although management continues to address many of the legacy issues that have historically burdened our financial performance, we still face challenges in order to reach profitability. In order for us to attain profitability and growth, we will need to successfully address these challenges, including the continuation of cost reductions throughout our organization, improvement in gross margins, execution of our marketing and sales plans for our turnkey energy-efficient lighting solutions business, execution of the $23.1 million U.S. Navy supply contract, the development of new technologies into sustainable product lines and continued improvements in our supply chain performance.

We remain optimistic about obtaining the funding necessary to meet on-going tactical and strategic capital requirements; however, there can be no assurances that this objective will be successful. As such, we continue to review and pursue selected external funding sources, if necessary, to execute these objectives including, but not limited to, the following:

obtain financing from traditional and non-traditional investment capital organizations or individuals,

potential sale or divestiture of one or more operating units, and

obtain funding from the sale of common stock or other equity or debt instruments.

Obtaining financing through the above-mentioned mechanisms contains 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 the Board of Directors,

the current environment in capital markets combined with our capital constraints 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 in the current capital environment and could lead to further dilution of shareholder value for current shareholders of record.

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 net sales and expenses in the financial statements. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of net sales 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, 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; revenues recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis; and stock-based compensation. In addition, estimates and assumptions associated with the determination of fair value of financial instruments and evaluation of goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment requires considerable judgment. 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, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income. The guidance aims to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Its adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB amended guidance relating to the goodwill impairment test. The changes are intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The revised guidance includes examples of events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. The changes are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance as stipulated.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of June 30, 2012, we had British pounds sterling-denominated cash valued at $0.2 million held in the United Kingdom, based on the exchange rate at that date. The balances for cash held in the United Kingdom are subject to exchange rate risk. We have a policy of maintaining cash balances in local currency 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 that 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. Any design of 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 were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter. Further, there were no other items identified in connection with our internal evaluations that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Reference is made to the Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Annual Report”). There have been no significant changes in those risk factors as set forth in the Annual Report.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Between February 29, 2012 and March 2, 2012, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with ten investors, under which we sold 19,600,000 units, each of which consists of one share of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half warrant to purchase one share of common stock, and raised $4.9 million. The purchase price of each unit was $0.25, based on a formula involving the stock’s 30 day average price prior to February 24, 2012. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.54. Each warrant is immediately separable from the unit and immediately exercisable, and expires three years from the date of issuance. We used the proceeds of the offering to retire debt and for working capital purposes. Eight of the ten investors are new investors and the largest single investment was $1.0 million. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company registered the shares by filing an S-1 Registration Statement that was effective on August 13, 2012.
