ELECTRO ENERGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
NOTE 1 —The Company
Organization
On June 9, 2004, Electro Energy, Inc. (“EEI”), a Delaware corporation, entered into a merger with MCG Diversified, Inc. (“MCG”), incorporated in December 1993 in the State of Florida. MCG issued 9,497,557 unregistered shares of common stock for 100% of the outstanding common stock of EEI on a one-to-one basis. As MCG did not have any meaningful operations prior to the merger, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of EEI, and accounted for on an historical cost basis for all periods presented. Immediately following the merger, MCG changed its name to Electro Energy Inc. (“New EEI”). On September 29, 2004, EEI changed its name to EEI Technologies, Inc. On August 30, 2005, EEI Acquisition Co., LLC was formed in Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of EEI. On May 8, 2006, the name of EEI Acquisition Co., LLC was changed to Electro Energy Florida, LLC (“EEF”).
The consolidated financial statements presented are those of New EEI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, EEI and EEF. Additionally, the accounts of EEI include the accounts of Mobile Energy Products, Inc. (“MEP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated June 11, 2003, from its inception. Collectively, they are referred to herein as the “Company.” On October 1, 2003 the Company, through its MEP subsidiary acquired the Colorado Springs energy business of EaglePicher Technologies, LLC (“EaglePicher”).
Nature of Business
The Company is engaged in the development of energy storage technology, products and related systems primarily through contract research and development for the United States Government or its agencies. The Company has developed and patented bipolar cell and battery design utilizing nickel metal hydride chemistry and is further expanding development to include lithium ion chemistries.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to make the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 contained in Form 10-KSB filed on April 3, 2006.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results that would be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New EEI and MEP. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains its cash accounts at high quality financial institutions with balances, at times, in excess of federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had cash balances of $5,898,209 in excess of the federally insured limit of $100,000. The Company also has substantial cash balances which are invested in a money market account with a bank.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because the Company’s customers are primarily the United States Government or its agencies. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable from private entities is not significant.
The Company has placed into escrow $2,970,000 reserved for future interest and redemption payments in connection with its 8.5% senior secured convertible notes issued in April 2006. These funds may be released for general corporate purposes upon issuing the Company’s common stock for interest and principle payments, at the sole discretion of the Company.
Revenue Recognition
In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company:
Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered. Provision for sales returns will be estimated based on the Company’s historical return experience. Revenue is presented net of returns.
Revenue on the Company’s research and development type contracts with the U.S. Government and its’ agencies are typically “cost plus” type contracts that contain a fixed fee element and/or a cost sharing arrangement. The Company is reimbursed for actual material, labor and overhead costs as incurred up to the funding limit of the contract. The Company submits a cost structure annually to the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) for approval to use the Company’s rates on government contracts. Throughout the life of each contract the Company estimates the cost to complete. When the Company estimates that a contract will exceed the funding amount management will seek additional funding from the customer or another outside source. Contract terms allow the Company to stop work should additional funding not be available. Should management decide to complete a contract without funding the Company will accrue the loss on the contract when the cost is estimated to exceed the revenue.
Contracts with milestone billing provisions are fixed cost type contracts. Revenue is recognized once the milestone has been achieved.
Revenue on commercial contracts is recognized when the Company delivers batteries or services have been rendered.
Significant Customers
The Company had three customers with sales of 10% or more of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Net sales to the Company's three major customers represented 23%, 21% and 29%, respectively. Accounts receivable from these customers amounted to $330,696 and $185,418 as June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The Company had three customers with sales of 10% or more of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net sales to the Company's three major customers represented 39%, 25% and 15%, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. As a result, the Company’s net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is $416,514 higher than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) opinion No. 25. The Company recorded total stock-based compensation of $509,035 during this period.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company’s stock-based employee compensation plans were accounted for under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS 123”).
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, as was permitted under SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” which amended SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB No. 25.” For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded compensation expense in general and administrative expenses amounting to $(1,913) and $97,598, respectively related to stock options granted to employees. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005:

Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share adjusts basic loss per share for the effects of convertible securities, warrants, stock options and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive. The shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock, the exercise of stock options and warrants are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share as their effect would be antidilutive.

On March 31, 2006, the Company entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement with seven institutional accredited investors (the “Investors”) and, on April 5, 2006, the Company completed the note purchase transaction, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Investors $11,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 8.5% senior secured convertible notes due 2010 secured by certain assets of the Company and issued 578,947 warrants to purchase common stock with that are exercisable until March 31, 2010 at an exercise price of $3.80 per share. The notes convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time and from time to time on or before March 31, 2010 at the holders option, initially at a conversion price of $3.80 per share (equivalent to an initial conversion rate of approximately 263 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of notes), which could potentially be adjusted in accordance with a 24-month reset provision and certain anti-dilution adjustments. At the initial conversion price, the notes would convert into an aggregate of 2,894,737 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company incurred financing costs of $1,222,982 in connection with this loan which included placement agent and professional fees. Also, $2,970,000 of the proceeds were placed in escrow to pay the first two years of interest, as well as payment for the holders first put right.
At any time after June 1, 2006, upon the investors converting their notes to common stock, the investors will receive all accrued interest through the conversion date, plus the present value of any interest payments that would have been paid through the third anniversary of closing. This additional interest will be paid at the Company’s option in cash or in common stock at a 10% discount to market.
Interest will be paid semiannually in cash or paid in common stock at the Company’s option at a 10% discount to the market value. The notes may be redeemed by the Company after August 1, 2007 based on certain conditions. Holders of the notes have put rights on August 1, 2007, April 1, 2008, December 1, 2008, and August 3, 2009 for the greater of 10% of the aggregate principal amount, or $1,000,000. The notes are senior secured debt with all assets of the Company pledged as security except inventory and accounts receivable.
The notes, warrants and common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants (and shares issued in lieu of semi-annual cash interest and/or other payments required or permitted under the notes) have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated hereunder. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The Company has agreed, pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement, to (i) file a shelf registration statement with respect to the resale of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants (and shares issued in lieu of semi-annual cash interest and/or other payments required or permitted under the notes) with the SEC within 90 days after the closing date. If the filing of such registration statement is not made within the time period specified above, or at any time after 180 days following the closing date the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes are otherwise ineligible to trade freely, the Company will be required to pay the holders of the notes additional interest at the rate of 1.0% of the principal amount of the notes for each 30-day period the Company fails to file the registration statement within the specified time period or such shares are ineligible to trade freely, until the registration statement is so filed or such shares are eligible to trade freely. In no event, however, will such additional interest accrue at a rate per year exceeding 5.0% of the principal amount of such notes. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, on June 28, 2006, the Company filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The fair value of the warrants was estimated as of the issue date using a Black-Scholes pricing model, with the following assumptions: common stock based on a closing market price of $3.70 per share, exercise price of $3.80, zero dividends, expected volatility of 56.3%, risk free interest rate of 4.81% and expected life of 4 years. The gross proceeds of the convertible debt were allocated to the debt instrument and the warrants. The fair value of the warrants of $679,070 resulted in a discount that has been recorded as additional paid in capital and as deferred debt discount to the notes and is being amortized over the term of the notes as additional interest expense. The yield to maturity is 10.43%.
In accordance with EITF 98-5 and 00-27, the Company have evaluated the conversion feature embedded in the debt instrument and concluded there is no beneficial conversion feature since the stock price was greater than the conversion amount at the date of issuance. However, the contingent reset provision provides that on April 1, 2008 the conversion price be reset to the lower of the $3.80 conversion price or 115% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the ten-day trading days preceding and including the reset date provided that in no event will the conversion price be less than $2.50 per share contingent upon the occurrence the reset provision is not eliminated. The reset provision will be eliminated in the event the common stock trades at or above $5.70 for 20 of 30-trading days prior to April 1, 2008, the shelf registration statement has been effective for such 30-day trading period and the note holders would not otherwise be restricted from selling the underlying shares pursuant to such shelf registration statement. In the event the reset provision is triggered at the minimum reset conversion price of $2.50, the notes would convert into an aggregate of 4,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, a potential maximum number of additional shares of 1,505,263.
The Company evaluated the provisions of EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”) and View A of EITF 05-4 “The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to Issue No. 00-19” (“EITF 05-4”), and determined that the embedded conversion option and warrants should be classified as equity in the accompanying financial statements.
Accrued interest expense, amortization of the deferred debt discount, and amortization of deferred financing costs in connection with the 8.5% interest bearing senior secured convertible notes and warrants amounted to $233,750, $35,286, and $75,847, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Consulting Services
Certain stockholders and parties related to stockholders have provided consulting services to the Company for various technical and general and administrative services. Consulting fees incurred amounted to $15,620 and $23,579 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $4,600 and $13,094 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amounts due to these related parties as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $1,600 and $3,000, respectively.
Development Agreement
On March 31, 2005, the Company entered into a development agreement to receive a total of $450,000 in cash funding from a private venture capital firm, a shareholder of the Company’s common stock, for intended use in the research and development of certain battery technologies. The contract provides for scheduled payments to the Company if it performs certain research and development activities over a 24-month period. The Company has entered into a sub-contract agreement with Rutgers University to perform certain of these activities for $350,000. In connection with this development agreement, the Company issued warrants containing certain cashless provisions to purchase up to 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon exercise. The warrants are exercisable at $9.06 per share over a four-year period expiring in March 2009. The weighted average fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance using the Black Scholes option-pricing model is estimated at $5.58 per warrant. The total estimated value of the warrants, amounting to $83,767, was recorded as cost of services-related parties expense and other accrued liability. Further, a deferred contract cost and additional paid-in capital was recorded as of the date of issuance. The number of warrants that are exercisable are directly proportional to the amount of the scheduled payments that are received by the Company for performance of the development agreement.
The weighted average fair value of the warrants using the Black Scholes option-pricing model was revalued on June 30, 2006 at $0.79 per warrant. Accordingly, the total estimated value of the warrants was reduced to $11,917. The amount was recorded as a reduction of cost of services-related parties expense and other accrued liability.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
You should read the following discussion and analysis together with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
Results of Operations
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Net Revenue
Consolidated net revenue for the second quarter of 2006 was $896,719 compared with $756,965 for the same period of 2005, an increase of $139,754, or 18.5%. Consolidated net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $ 1,993,279 compared with $1,807,279 for 2005, an increase of $186,000, or 10.3%. Of the revenue increase, $379,591 was attributable to an increase of revenues from product manufacturing operations offset by revenue decreases of $(193,591) for the services operations.
Consolidated net revenue included net revenue pursuant to a supply agreement with EaglePicher amounting to $174,282 (19.4% of net revenue) and $157,781 (20.8% of net revenue) for the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively and $580,517 (29.1% of net revenue) and $258,745 (14.3% of net revenue), for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Net revenue from services for the second quarter of 2006 was $649,734 compared with $622,189 for the same period of 2005, a increase of $27,545 , or 4.4%. Net revenue from services for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1,362,583 compared with 1,556,174 for 2005, a decrease of $(193,591), or (12.4)%. The decrease in the research and development services operations business was related to the conclusion of certain contracts in 2005 and a slow down in the timing of deliverables on existing contracts. Contract backlog as of June 30, 2006 was $3,196,925.
The underlying government and commercial contracts pertaining to net revenue from services for the periods mentioned are primarily with the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, Department of Energy, and commercial customers with performance periods that commenced May 15, 2003 and continue through November 5, 2007 requiring deliverables involving periodic status reports and in certain cases prototypes. Most government contracts are negotiated as cost plus fixed fee (“CPFF”), while others are firm fixed price (“FFP”), milestone or cost plus cost share (“CPCS”) type contracts. Commercial orders are contracted by purchase order (“PO”). At the completion of each contract and after all contract requirements have been met, a final invoice is submitted, audited, and satisfied. In the event overhead and general and administrative rates are recalculated at less than billed amounts, a credit is issued to the buying party. In past history, the Company has received complete contract funding on all awards as agreed.
Net revenue from products for the second quarter of 2006 was $246,985 compared with $134,776 for the same period of 2005, a increase of $112,209 , or 83.3%. Net revenue from products for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $630,696 compared with $251,105 for 2005, an increase of $379,591 , or 151.2%. The primary reason for the increase resulted from an increase in net revenue pursuant to a supply agreement with EaglePicher amounting to $321,772, in addition to an increase in net revenue from existing customers of $57,819. The Company expects this trend to continue into the second half of 2006.
Gross Profit (Loss)
Consolidated gross loss for the second quarter of 2006 was $(23,935) (-2.7% of net revenue) compared with $(353,157) (-46.7% of net revenue) in 2005. Consolidated gross loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $(111,869) (-5.6% of net revenue) compared to $(738,512) (-40.9% of net revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $626,643, or -84.9%. The gross loss decrease was mainly driven by increased revenue from products.

Gross loss from services in the second quarter of 2006 was $(124,174) (-13.8% of net revenue) compared with $(154,744) (-20.4% of net revenue) in 2005. Gross loss from services for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $(249,894) (-12.5% of net revenue) compared to $(210,009) (-11.6% of net revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The gross loss from services pertains to gross loss on the Company’s research and development contracts with the U.S. government and its agencies. The gross loss increase was mainly driven by excess overhead.
The components of costs of revenues for services include direct materials, direct labor, an operating overhead allocation based upon direct labor usage, and a general and administrative overhead allocation based upon the percentage of contract costs relative to the total. Overhead and general and administrative expenses are billable at contracted fixed rates during the course of the year. Spending in excess of the contracted amount can be recovered provided there are funds available in the contract sufficient to cover the excess expenses and the adjustment is approved by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. A rate of spending below the billed contracted fixed rates during the course of the year may result in a return of funds to the contract.
Gross profit (loss) from products for the second quarter of 2006 was $100,239 (11.2% of net revenue) compared with $(198,413) (-26.2% of net revenue) in 2005. Gross profit (loss) from products for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $138,025 (6.9% of net revenue) and gross profit (loss) from products for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $(528,503) (-29.2% of net revenue). The primary reason for the increase in profit resulted from an increase in order volume pursuant to a supply agreement with EaglePicher.
The components of costs of revenues for products include direct materials, direct labor, and an operating overhead allocation based upon direct labor usage. An operating overhead cost pool is estimated to support the forecasted manufacturing activities in advance of the year. The overhead is assigned as product is produced based upon direct labor usage using an absorption method. Any unabsorbed overhead is expensed in the period incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2006 were $915,798 (102.1% of net revenue) compared with $533,009 (70.4% of net revenue) in 2005, an increase of $382,789 or 71.8%. SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $1,445,860 (72.5% of net revenue) compared with $1,122,762 (62.1% of net revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $323,098, or 28.8%. The increase in SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily a result of $316,838 of start-up costs associated with the Florida manufacturing facility, and $12,750 of advertising expenses offset by decreasing the Company’s support from professional service providers and decreasing its administrative staffing. The decreases in SG&A included accounting and legal services of $(172,149), administrative staffing reduction of $(48,893), recruiting fees of $(59,943), selling staffing and expenses reduction of $(116,665), samples of $(16,846), investor relations expenses of $(19,250), other public company related expenses of $(4,824), and consulting expenses of $(7,249), and other expenses of $(5,193). Additionally, an increase of $413,149 of expense was related to the amortization of stock-based compensation expense. The remaining balance of deferred compensation expense as of June 30, 2006 was $2,530,884 and will be fully amortized through December 2009.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the second quarter of 2006 were $293,911 (32.8% of net revenue) compared with $23,655 (3.1% of net revenue) in 2005, an increase of $270,256. R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $ 433,753 (21.8% of net revenue) compared with $54,963 (3.0% of net revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 an increase of $378,790. The nature of the R&D expenses relates to experimentation and product development for bipolar nickel metal hydride batteries for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) applications for automotive applications, for low maintenance nickel cadmium batteries for the aerospace market, and for bipolar lithium ion for advanced military applications. R&D conducted in applying the Company’s patented bipolar design to Lithium Ion batteries is in connection with a development agreement with a venture capital firm. The venture capital firm will make direct equity investments over a 14 month period in exchange for the Company’s common stock under a stock purchase agreement.

Other (Income) Expense
Interest expense, net for the second quarter of 2006 was $173,442 compared to interest income, net of $(9,166) in 2005, and increase of $182,608. Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $175,221, compared with interest income, net of $(11,284) for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $186,505. The primary reason for the increase in interest expense relates to interest accrued in the amount of $233,750 on the issuance of 8.5% interest bearing senior secured notes in April 2006. Deferred debt discount was $35,286 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Deferred financing costs were $75,847 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Loss on disposal of fixed assets was $591 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Net Loss
Net loss for the second quarter of 2006 was $(1,518,219) or $(0.07) per share (basic and diluted) compared with $(900,655) or $(0.07) in 2005. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $(2,287,427) or $(0.12) per share (basic and diluted), compared to net loss of $ $(1,904,953) or $(0.15) per share (basic and diluted) for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Related Parties
The Company has agreements with certain related parties who provide consulting services to the Company. Related party services of an administrative nature were included in selling, general and administrative-related parties as an operating expense in the amount of $4,600 and $15,620 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively compared with $13,094 and $23,579 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. The Company has an agreement with the owner of E.F.S. Management Systems, a shareholder of the Company’s common stock, to provide accounting services. The Company has agreements with Jack T. Brown and Alvin Salkind, shareholders of the Company’s common stock, to provide consulting services.
On March 31, 2005, the Company entered into a development agreement to receive a total of $450,000 in cash funding from In-Q-Tel, a shareholder of the Company’s common stock, for intended use in the research and development of certain battery technologies. The contract provides for scheduled payments to the Company if it performs certain research and development activities over a 24-month period. The Company has entered into a sub-contract agreement with Rutgers University to perform certain of these activities for $350,000. In connection with this development agreement, the Company entered into an agreement whereby the Company will issue warrants to In-Q-Tel containing certain cashless provisions to purchase up to 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon exercise. The warrants are exercisable at $9.06 per share over a four-year period expiring in March 2009. The weighted average fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance using the Black Scholes option-pricing model is estimated at $5.58 per warrant. The total estimated value of the warrants, amounting to $83,767 was recorded as cost of services-related parties expense and other accrued liability. Further, a deferred contract cost and additional paid-in capital was recorded as of the date of issuance. The number of warrants that are exercisable are directly proportional to the amount of the scheduled payments that are received by the Company for performance of the development agreement.
The weighted average fair value of the warrants using the Black Scholes option-pricing model was revalued on June 30, 2006 at $0.79 per warrant. Accordingly, the total estimated value of the warrants was reduced to $11,917. The amount was recorded as a reduction of cost of services-related parties expense and other accrued liability. Further, a reduction of deferred contract cost and additional paid-in capital was recorded. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company received an installment of cash funding and recognized $100,000 of gross revenue from services rendered related to this development agreement. An adjustment to the relative value of the warrants of $6,898 was recorded as an increase to cost of services-related parties expense and other accrued liability. In addition, a discount to revenue and an increase in deferred contract costs was recorded. As of June 30, 2006 the remaining deferred contract cost was $5,160.

The notes, warrants and common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants (and shares issued in lieu of semi-annual cash interest and/or other payments required or permitted under the notes) have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated hereunder. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The Company has agreed, pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement, to (i) file a shelf registration statement with respect to the resale of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants (and shares issued in lieu of semi-annual cash interest and/or other payments required or permitted under the notes) with the SEC within 90 days after the closing date. If the filing of such registration statement is not made within the time period specified above, or at any time after 180 days following the closing date the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes are otherwise ineligible to trade freely, the Company will be required to pay the holders of the notes additional interest at the rate of 1.0% of the principal amount of the notes for each 30-day period the Company fails to file the registration statement within the specified time period or such shares are ineligible to trade freely, until the registration statement is so filed or such shares are eligible to trade freely. In no event, however, will such additional interest accrue at a rate per year exceeding 5.0% of the principal amount of such notes. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, on June 28, 2006, the Company filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The fair value of the warrants was estimated as of the issue date using a Black-Scholes pricing model, with the following assumptions: common stock based on a closing market price of $3.70 per share, exercise price of $3.80, zero dividends, expected volatility of 56.3%, risk free interest rate of 4.81% and expected life of 4 years. The gross proceeds of the convertible debt were allocated to the debt instrument and the warrants. The fair value of the warrants of $679,070 resulted in a discount that has been recorded as additional paid in capital and as deferred debt discount to the notes and is being amortized over the term of the notes as additional interest expense. The yield to maturity is 10.43%.
In accordance with EITF 98-5 and 00-27, the Company have evaluated the conversion feature embedded in the debt instrument and concluded there is no beneficial conversion feature since the stock price was greater than the conversion amount at the date of issuance. However, the contingent reset provision provides that on April 1, 2008 the conversion price be reset to the lower of the $3.80 conversion price or 115% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the ten-day trading days preceding and including the reset date provided that in no event will the conversion price be less than $2.50 per share contingent upon the occurrence the reset provision is not eliminated. The reset provision will be eliminated in the event the common stock trades at or above $5.70 for 20 of 30-trading days prior to April 1, 2008, the shelf registration statement has been effective for such 30-day trading period and the note holders would not otherwise be restricted from selling the underlying shares pursuant to such shelf registration statement. In the event the reset provision is triggered at the minimum reset conversion price of $2.50, the notes would convert into an aggregate of 4,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, a potential maximum number of additional shares of 1,505,263.
The Company evaluated the provisions of EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”(“EITF 00-19”) and View A of EITF 05-4 “The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to Issue No. 00-19” (“EITF 05-4”), and determined that the embedded conversion option and warrants be classified as equity in the accompanying financial statements.
Accrued interest expense, amortization of the deferred debt discount, and amortization of deferred financing costs in connection with the 8.5% interest bearing senior secured convertible notes and warrants amounted to $233,750, $35,286, and $75,847, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006 warrants were exercised for proceeds of $175,000 in exchange for 92,687 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2006 4,720,908 warrants are outstanding with expiration dates ranging from July 16, 2007 through April 5, 2012 and exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $9.06 to purchase 25,632,786 shares of common stock. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding warrants $5.43.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006 the Company issued 47,297 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of employee stock options for proceeds of $32,522. As of June 30, 2006, 1,267,908 options are outstanding. The maximum potential future proceeds from the exercise of the options vested and in-the-money as of June 30, 2006 is $503,707.
The Company’s government contracts are each individually negotiated under their own terms and conditions with reference to the Federal Acquisition Regulations and are typically fully funded cost-reimbursement type. There is usually an 85% limitation placed on the fixed fee whereby 15% is withheld by the government until all contract requirements are satisfied and closeout documents submitted. There are no obligations for royalties.
On October 17, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with In-Q-Tel, pursuant to which In-Q-Tel has agreed to purchase 241,692 shares of unregistered common stock and warrants to purchase 75,829 shares of unregistered common stock at an exercise price of $3.11 per share. The total purchase price for the stock and warrants is $800,000 and is expected to be paid over the course of 14 months following the closing, conditioned upon the Company achieving certain development milestones. In 2005, the Company issued 30,208 shares of unregistered common stock, collecting $100,000, and issued 9,476 warrants in connection with this agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, upon receipt of $200,000 the Company issued 60,424 shares of unregistered common stock and 18,958 warrants in connection with this agreement. The Company is directing the proceeds toward research and development to demonstrate the incorporation of Bipolar Li-ion Cell Technology into Bipolar Lithium Ion Batteries.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $(1,126,155) and $(1,464,597) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 the Company began to build inventory components primarily for future use in generating revenue from services in anticipation of pending contract awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company made certain advance payment to suppliers for equipment in the amount of $30,300. The Company made certain pre-payments of deferred items associated with sales of its common stock and its due diligence of a potential asset purchase amounting to $57,089 and $148,025 respectively. The Company had accrued expenses primarily related to equipment purchases and for legal services in connection with the potential asset purchase and related financing described below.
The Company invested $(578,778) and $(358,546) in equipment during the first six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Current and prior year equipment additions relate primarily to the construction in progress for production equipment for the development of its nickel metal hydride and lithium-ion product lines.
The Company made payments towards security deposits of $(219,693) and $0 during the first six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These payments relate primarily to the leases in Alachua, Florida.
The Company continues to construct equipment internally to maintain its specialized staffing and to advance its initiative for commercialization of its nickel metal hydride and lithium ion product lines. In connection with the asset purchase, the Company issued debt to fund the retrofitting of the equipment making it suitable for its patented bipolar stacked wafer concept and for business development. The Company expects to invest up to $2,840,000 in capital expenditures in the next twelve months. Cash expected to be generated from operating activities, together with funds available resulting from the proceeds of the private placement noted above, are expected, under current conditions, to be sufficient to finance the Company’s planned operations over the next twelve months. As of August 21, 2006, the Company has cash and cash equivalents in excess of $5,485,000. In addition, the Company has $2,970,000 of restricted cash held in escrow for future interest and redemption payments in connection with the private placement of 8.5% senior secured convertible notes.
Asset Purchase Agreement
On April 5, 2006, the Company completed an acquisition of certain assets relating to the manufacture of lithium-ion and nickel based rechargeable cells and batteries from Lithium Nickel Asset Holding Company I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Electro Energy Florida, LLC, formerly EEI Acquisition Co., LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, and the Seller. The total purchase price for the assets consisted of 5,750,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Consideration Shares”) and a six-year warrant (“Contingent Warrant”) to purchase up to 2,000,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share vesting upon meeting future contingent revenue milestones. Upon reaching aggregate gross sales of $25,000,000 generated at the Alachua facility, the Contingent Warrant holder will have the right to exercise warrants for the purchase of 500,000 shares of common stock. For each $1,000,000 of gross sales generated through EEF in excess of $25,000,000 prior to April 5, 2009, the Contingent Warrant holder will have the right to exercise to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock. Of the total number of shares, 1,000,000 Consideration Shares will be held in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement entered into at the closing in order to secure the Seller’s indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company agreed to include 750,000 Consideration Shares in a registration statement that the Company intends to file in connection with the note purchase transaction. In addition, the Company agreed to include 400,000 Consideration Shares in a subsequent registration statement in exchange for the forfeiture of 500,000 Contingent Warrants by the Seller.
The aggregate purchase price was $12,011,020 which consisted of the issuance of 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $11,701,250, and acquisition costs of $309,770. Pursuant to SFAS 141, the purchase price has been allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition as follows: Machinery and equipment of $11,820,020 and leasehold improvements of $191,000. The Company will record the value of the Contingent Warrant as additional purchase price once the contingent performance conditions have been met in accordance with SFAS 141 and EITF 96-18.
Further, 4,600,000 Consideration Shares and the warrants issued to the Seller in connection with the acquisition and lease agreements are subject to a lock-up agreement restricting the ability of the Seller to transfer the Consideration Shares and warrants for a period of one year, and providing for a partial release for transfer in the second year after the closing.

The Company intends to use the acquired assets and the simultaneous financing to develop and commercialize its advanced, proprietary and patented battery technology for high value and rapidly growing markets. Targeted applications are those for which smaller size, lighter weight, higher performance and longer life batteries are enabling technology or add significant value to the end product. The proprietary manufacturing technology being developed by the Company is expected to provide a cost advantage compared to other competitive technology. Upgrades and modifications of the acquired assets will be required. Additional assets specifically for bipolar cell manufacturing will be installed in the Florida location.
In addition the Company will pursue other business opportunities to utilize the cylindrical cell manufacturing capabilities for niche, high value battery products for customers that value domestic manufacture of high quality, high reliability battery components. This may include advanced lithium ion cells in 18650 and 26650 industry standard sizes.
To support the Florida facility improvements, product development activities and market development plans, the Company is hiring technical and marketing staff, based primarily in Connecticut and Florida. Sample products are being developed for submission to target customers and potential strategic partners. Demonstration projects to showcase the Company’s technology are being pursued and are expected to provide revenue, but on a cost share basis that will not recover full project costs. Significant commercial contracts are expected to be signed over the next 6 to 18 months. Primary target markets are military and government, transportation, utility power quality and backup, and power tools. It is not possible to predict the success of management’s efforts to achieve our goals for the facility in Florida.
While Florida is expected to become the high volume manufacturing facility for the Company, manufacturing of legacy products and new products as well as contract R&D are expected to continue in Colorado. Headquarters functions and R&D will continue in Connecticut.
