ELECTRO ENERGY TO RESTATE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED QUARTERLY REPORTS
DANBURY, CT, January 12, 2007 — Electro Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: EEEI), a developer and manufacturer of advanced rechargeable batteries, announced today that it will amend its previously filed Forms 10-QSB for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 and the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 to restate its accounting for the April 2006 purchase of certain battery manufacturing related assets located in Alachua County, Florida. The determination was made following the receipt of comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission staff.
The Company expects the effect of the restatement will be an increase in property and equipment of approximately $9 million with a corresponding increase in stockholders’ equity as a result of revaluing the 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued in connection with the asset purchase. There is not expected to be an effect on the results of operations or basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods. Cash flows for the periods are not expected to change, except for an increase of approximately $9million in stock issued in connection with the asset purchase in the supplemental disclosures of non-cash activities. The foregoing restatement adjustments are not expected to affect the Company’s reported cash and cash equivalents balance during the reported periods.
The Company is in the process of finalizing the restated financial statements and intends to file the restated financial statements shortly. However, the Company cautions that its discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission staff are ongoing, and as a result, there can be no assurances when the restated financial statements will be completed and filed, or whether the Securities and Exchange Commission staff may have further comments.
