NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)and present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. These interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2009 and its consolidated results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. However, the Company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2009 (“Form 10-K”).
Certain amounts in the comparative consolidated financial statements have been reclassified from financial statements previously presented to conform to the presentation of the 2009 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Such reclassifications had no impact on the net income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) or cash flows in the comparative consolidated financial statements.
The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165,Subsequent Events(“SFAS 165”), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rational as to why the date was selected. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ended after June 15, 2009. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 165. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through October 22, 2009.
In July 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, FASB Accounting Standards Codification ™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS 168”). With the issuance of SFAS 168, the FASB Standards Codification (“Codification”) becomes the single source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but changes the referencing of financial standards and is intended to simplify user access to authoritative U.S. GAAP, by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ended after September 15, 2009. At that time, all references made to U.S. GAAP will use the new Codification numbering system prescribed by the FASB.
NOTE 2: LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred comprehensive losses of ($96,850,000) during the year ended December 31, 2008 and incurred a comprehensive loss of $(15,860,000) in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. In addition, at December 31, 2008, the Company’s current working capital level was insufficient in its view to sustain its current levels of operations without substantial cost reductions. The 2008 loss included, among other items, a $53,110,133 impairment charge for goodwill and intangible assets, approximately $7,000,000 increase in legal fees, a $6,634,000 increase in overall operating expenses as a result of the two acquisitions and the start up of other international operations made during 2008, a $4,450,000 provision for obsolete and slow moving inventory, and a $3,370,000 compensation expense related to the grant of stock options and restricted stock during the year ended December 31, 2008, which substantially increased the Company’s operating loss. The loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 also included legal fees of approximately $3,000,000, provisions for slow moving and obsolete stock of approximately $580,000 and compensation expense of approximately $680,000 related to stock options and restricted stock previously granted.
In response to these trends and conditions, the Company is in the process of implementing a strategic plan to alleviate liquidity shortfalls, including: (i) consolidating operations, specifically relocating financial operations from Dallas, Texas and the operations based in Westampton, New Jersey to the Company’s Satellite Beach, Florida offices; (ii) eliminating a substantial number of positions in both the Company’s European and U.S. operations (total headcount reduction is anticipated to be approximately 70 employees by September 1, 2009, of which approximately 67 were completed as of August 28, 2009); and, (iii) reducing operating expenses, specifically curtailing third party sales and marketing expenses, reducing legal expenses, and reducing third party professional services for technology and operations. In addition, to improve gross margin, the Company is in the process of: (i) outsourcing certain production to contract manufacturers; (ii) negotiating lower supply costs; (iii) consolidating vendors; and, (iv) reprioritizing the Company’s product line.
Although the Company is taking significant steps to increase revenue, reduce costs, and preserve cash reserves to sustain operations and achieve a cash flow positive position on a monthly basis by the end of the fourth quarter 2009, there can be no assurance that all restructuring plans will be implemented or will be implemented in a timely manner to achieve such results.

On May 15, 2009, the Company entered into a Convertible Note Agreement (the “Original Convertible Note”) with Pegasus Partners IV, L.P. (“Pegasus IV”) that provided the Company with approximately $31,650,000. Pegasus IV is a private equity fund managed by Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Pegasus Capital”). As of August 1, 2009, Pegasus Capital and certain of its affiliates, collectively, beneficially owned approximately 82% of our common stock. The Company used the proceeds from the Original Convertible Note to retire outstanding bridge notes with Pegasus IV and to pay outstanding principal amounts on the Company’s line of credit with the Bank of Montreal (“BMO”). Because the line of credit with BMO remains available to the Company until August 24, 2010 (due to the extension of the BMO line of credit discussed in Note 9 below), the Original Convertible Note effectively provided the Company with approximately $20,000,000 in capital to fund operations. At August 28, 2009, the Company had $12,000,000 of the BMO line of credit available for use to fund its operations.
On August 27, 2009, the Original Convertible Note (as amended) was terminated, and the Company entered into a new Convertible Note Agreement with Pegasus IV (the “New Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $32,846,619, which represented the outstanding principal and interest on the Original Note as of August 27, 2009. Pursuant to the Original Convertible Note and as amended pursuant to the New Convertible Note, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) pursuant to which the Company would offer approximately 13,000,000 units (which excludes the number of units that may be acquired pursuant to the New Convertible Note or the Philips Convertible Note described below) for $1.006 per unit as soon as is reasonably practical. As currently contemplated and if the Rights Offering is consummated, the holders of the Company’s common stock, 6% Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and warrants to purchase common stock will receive one subscription right to purchase one unit, with each such unit to consist of one share of newly designated Series D Non-Convertible Preferred Stock and that portion of a warrant representing the right to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for $6.00 per share, for every one share of common stock issued (or issuable upon conversion or exercise) to such holder on the record date of the Rights Offering. On the closing date of the Rights Offering, each $1.006 of outstanding principal and interest on the New Convertible Note would automatically convert into one unit in the Rights Offering, and the Company would be released from liability to the extent of the repayment of the outstanding principal and interest converted. Therefore, the Company expects to convert approximately $32,846,619 of indebtedness into equity upon completion of the Rights Offering. Because of the conversion features of the Convertible Note and the voluntary nature of participation in the Rights Offering, the Company may receive little or no additional capital as a result of the Rights Offering (other than amounts already funded by Pegasus IV). Pegasus IV also has the option to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest on the New Convertible Note prior to the closing of the Rights Offering.
On August 27, 2009, the Company entered into a convertible note agreement (the “Philips Convertible Note”) with Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (“Philips Electronics”) pursuant to which the Company borrowed $5,000,000 from Philips Electronics. Interest on any outstanding principal balance under the Philips Convertible Note accrues at the rate of 14% per annum. All principal and interest on the Philips Convertible Note is due on the earliest of the following three dates (such date, the “Maturity Date”): (a) July 31, 2010, (b) the date of the consummation of the Rights Offering or (c) the first business day immediately following the date on which the Company notifies Philips Electronics that Pegasus IV has voluntarily converted the outstanding principal and interest under its convertible note agreement (the “Notification Date”). Similar to the option provided to Pegasus IV in the New Convertible Note, Philips Electronics also has the option to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest on the Philips Convertible Note prior to the closing of the Rights Offering (see Note 9).
The Company has also entered into a letter of intent with Wells Fargo to arrange a factoring facility for the Company’s receivables up to $3,000,000, and expects the facility to be implemented during the third quarter of 2009. The Company will continue these efforts and seek other sources of equity, but there can be no assurance that additional capital arrangements, upon suitable terms, will be obtained.
Based on a current assessment of the Company’s working capital needs through December 31, 2009, management believes the Company has sufficient working capital available to sustain operations through at least December 31, 2009.

NOTE 3: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which was adopted at the beginning of 2008, the Company, determines a fair value measurement based on the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 established a three-tiered hierarchy making a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii)) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2), and (iii) unobservable inputs that would require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3).
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes and accounts payable, amounts due under the lines of credit, long-term debt, promissory notes, accrued expenses and other current liabilities are carried at book value amounts which approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The embedded conversion feature associated with the 6% Convertible Preferred Stock and the warrants issued to the 6% Convertible Preferred Stock purchasers have been determined to be derivative instruments and are recorded at market value. The Company has applied liability accounting to the warrants issued to certain directors and officers of a predecessor company. These warrants have been recorded at fair value.
At March 31, 2009, the Company’s financial instruments subject to SFAS No. 157, which were valued at fair value (all Level 2), consisted of a) Liabilities under derivative contracts ($3,654), b) 6% Convertible Preferred Stock ($490,604) and c) interest rate swaps ($9,246).

At March 31, 2009, Lighting Science Group B.V. (“LSGBV”), the Company’s European operating subsidiary, was in breach of certain covenants under its agreement with ABN AMRO. As a result of such breach, ABN AMRO reduced the total amount available under the line of credit to€300,000 and has also increased the interest rate on the facility. The Company and LSGBV discussed an action plan with ABN AMRO to resolve the breach conditions and implemented these actions during the second quarter of 2009.

NOTE 9: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Borrowing Under Promissory Notes
In April and May 2009, the Company signed additional promissory note agreements (the “Additional Promissory Notes”) with Pegasus IV that would allow the Company to borrow up to $2.0 million and $0.5 million in the aggregate, respectively. The Additional Promissory Notes mature on May 15, and May 31, 2009, respectively, and bear interest at a rate of 8% and 14% per annum, respectively. As a condition to entering into the Additional Promissory Notes, Pegasus IV and the Company agreed that such notes would be subject to the Letter Agreement as noted above.
Convertible Note Issuance
On May 15, 2009, the Company entered into the Original Convertible Note with Pegasus IV, which provided the Company with approximately $31,650,000. Specifically, pursuant to the Original Convertible Note, the Company borrowed approximately $13,150,000 on May 15, 2009 and approximately $18,500,000 on May 26, 2009. The proceeds of the borrowings on the Original Convertible Note were generally used to: (a) pay in full the $1.95 million note granted to Pegasus IV in December 2008, together with accrued interest thereon, (b) pay in full the February Note, together with accrued interest thereon, (c) pay in full the Additional Notes, together with accrued interest thereon, and (d) pay outstanding principal amounts under the BMO line of credit. Effective as of July 31, 2009, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Convertible Note Agreement, pursuant to which the maturity date of the Original Convertible Note was extended.
On August 27, 2009, the Original Convertible Note (as amended) was terminated, and the Company entered into a new Convertible Note Agreement (the “New Convertible Note”) with Pegasus IV in the principal amount of $32,846,619, which represented the outstanding principal and interest on the Original Convertible Note as of August 27, 2009. As with the Original Convertible Note, interest on the New Convertible Note accrues at the rate of 14% per annum. The outstanding principal and interest matures upon the earlier of: (a) July 31, 2010 and (b) the date of
12
the consummation of the Rights Offering . The New Convertible Note may not be prepaid and is immediately due and payable upon the Company’s failure to pay any of its material debts when due. As with the Original Convertible Note, so long as any amounts remain outstanding under the New Convertible Note, the Company must obtain the prior written consent of Pegasus IV prior to borrowing more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate pursuant to the Company’s line of credit with the BMO.
Pursuant to the New Convertible Note, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the Rights Offering as soon as is reasonably practical. Similar to the Original Convertible Note, the New Convertible Note provides that the Rights Offering would consist of the offering of approximately 13,000,000 units of the Company’s securities (which excludes the number of units that may be acquired pursuant to the New Convertible Note and the Philips Convertible Note) for $1.006 per unit, with each unit to consist of one share of newly designated Series D Non-Convertible Preferred Stock and that portion of a warrant representing the right to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The Company must also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Certificate of Designation for the Series D Non-Convertible Preferred Stock to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. As with the Original Convertible Note, the New Convertible Note grants Pegasus IV the right to acquire any units not otherwise subscribed for pursuant to the terms of the Rights Offering.
If the registration statement for the Rights Offering is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to July 31, 2010 (the scheduled maturity date), Pegasus IV will be deemed to have converted all of the then outstanding principal and interest under the New Convertible Note into a number of units equal to one unit for each $1.006 of outstanding principal and interest under the New Convertible Note. Additionally, the New Convertible Note provides Pegasus IV with the option to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest under the New Convertible Note into a number of units equal to one unit for each $1.006 of outstanding principal and interest. Upon any conversion of the New Convertible Note, Pegasus IV will release the Company from liability to the extent of the repayment of principal and interest being converted under the New Convertible Note.
Extension of BMO Line of Credit
On August 24, 2009, the Company and BMO amended the Loan Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Loan Agreement until August 24, 2010 in the event that BMO does not make prior written demand. On the same date and in conjunction with the amendment to the Loan Agreement, the Company and Pegasus IV entered into the Guaranty Extension, whereby Pegasus IV agreed to extend its Guaranty through August 24, 2010. As consideration for the Guaranty Extension, the Company agreed to pay Pegasus IV a fee, payable upon the earliest to occur of (a) August 24, 2010, (b) the date of termination of the Loan Agreement or the Guaranty and (c) a change of control of the Company (each of (a), (b) and (c), a “Fee Payment Date”). If the Fee Payment Date is August 24, 2010 or the date of termination of the Loan Agreement or the Guaranty, the Company must pay a fee (the “Average Daily Balance Fee”) equal to (i) 15% of the Company’s average daily loan balance with BMO, multiplied by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the number of days from the date of the Guaranty Extension to the Fee Payment Date by 365 days.
Convertible Note Agreement with Philips Electronics
On August 27, 2009, the Company entered into the Philips Convertible Note agreement with Philips Electronics pursuant to which the Company borrowed $5,000,000 from Philips Electronics. Interest on any outstanding principal balance under the Philips Convertible Note accrues at the rate of 14% per annum. All principal and interest on the Philips Convertible Note is due on the earliest of the following three dates (such date, the “Maturity Date”): (a) July 31, 2010, (b) the date of the consummation of the Rights Offering or (c) the first business day immediately following the date on which the Company notifies Philips Electronics that Pegasus IV has voluntarily converted the outstanding principal and interest under the New Convertible Note (the “Notification Date”). The Philips Convertible Note may not be prepaid and is immediately due and payable upon the Company’s failure to pay any of its material debts when due. Pursuant to the Philips Convertible Note, the Company agreed to conduct the Rights Offering on the same terms as those set forth above with respect to the New Convertible Note with Pegasus IV.
13
If the registration statement for the Rights Offering is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the Maturity Date or if Pegasus IV voluntarily converts the outstanding principal and interest under the New Convertible Note, Philips Electronics will be deemed to have converted all of the then outstanding principal and interest under the Philips Convertible Note into a number of units equal to one unit for each $1.006 of outstanding principal and interest under the Philips Convertible Note. However, any warrant issued upon conversion of the Philips Convertible Note would have an exercise price of $12.00 per share. Such automatic conversion would be deemed to occur on the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Rights Offering or (b) the first business day immediately following the Notification Date. Additionally, the Philips Convertible Note provides Philips Electronics with the option to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest under the Philips Convertible Note into a number of units equal to one unit for each $1.006 of outstanding principal and interest. Upon any conversion of the Philips Convertible Note, Philips Electronics will release the Company from liability to the extent of the repayment of principal and interest being converted under the Philips Convertible Note.

Recent Events
In February 2009, we executed a promissory note in favor of Pegasus IV that would allow us to borrow up to $7.0 million in aggregate. The February promissory note was scheduled to mature on June 30, 2009 and had an interest rate of 8% per annum. As a condition to entering into the February promissory note, we entered into a letter agreement with Pegasus IV, dated February 13, 2009 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to use our best efforts to conduct a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) during the second fiscal quarter of 2009 for preferred or common stock, the net proceeds of which would raise at least $30 million. The February promissory note and the Letter Agreement required that any net cash proceeds of an offering generally be applied to the payment of: (i) the unpaid principal amount of the February promissory note, together with accrued interest thereon, (ii) the unpaid principal amount of our outstanding unsecured bridge loans, together with accrued interest thereon, (iii) our anticipated cash needs during 2009, net of other available financings and (iv) our outstanding borrowings that were guaranteed by Pegasus IV or an affiliate of Pegasus IV.
In April 2009, we executed an additional promissory note in favor of Pegasus IV that would allow us to borrow up to $2.0 million in the aggregate. The note was scheduled to mature on May 15, 2009, had an interest rate of 8% per annum and was also subject to the Letter Agreement.
On May 15, 2009, we entered into a Convertible Note Agreement (the “Original Convertible Note”) with Pegasus IV, which provided us with approximately $31,650,000. Specifically, pursuant to the Original Convertible Note, we borrowed approximately $13,150,000 on May 15, 2009 and approximately $18,500,000 on May 26, 2009. The proceeds of the borrowings on the Original Convertible Note were generally used to pay in full approximately $9,500,000 worth of notes previously granted to Pegasus IV, together with accrued interest thereon, and to pay outstanding principal amounts under our line of credit with the Bank of Montreal (“BMO”). Effective as of July 31, 2009, we entered into the First Amendment to the Convertible Note Agreement, pursuant to which the maturity date of the Original Convertible Note was extended.
On August 27, 2009, the Original Convertible Note (as amended) was terminated, and we entered into a new Convertible Note Agreement (the “New Convertible Note”) with Pegasus IV in the principal amount of $32,846,619, which represented the outstanding principal and interest on the Original Convertible Note as of August 27, 2009. As with the Original Convertible Note, interest on the New Convertible Note accrues at the rate of 14% per annum. The outstanding principal and interest matures upon the earlier of: (a) July 31, 2010 and (b) the date of the consummation of the Rights Offering (described below) . The New Convertible Note may not be prepaid and is immediately due and payable upon the Company’s failure to pay any of its material debts when due. As with the Original Convertible Note, so long as any amounts remain outstanding under the New Convertible Note, we must obtain the prior written consent of Pegasus IV prior to borrowing more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate pursuant to our line of credit with the BMO.
Pursuant to the New Convertible Note, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) as soon as is reasonably practical. Similar to the Original Convertible Note, the New Convertible Note provides that the Rights Offering would consist of the offering of approximately 13,000,000 units of our securities (which excludes the number of units that may be acquired pursuant to the New Convertible Note and the convertible note issued to Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (“Philips Electronics”)) for $1.006 per unit, with each unit to consist of one share of newly designated Series D Non-Convertible Preferred Stock and that portion of a warrant representing the right to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. We must also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Certificate of Designation for the Series D Non-Convertible Preferred Stock to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. As with the Original Convertible Note, the New Convertible Note grants Pegasus IV the right to acquire any units not otherwise subscribed for pursuant to the terms of the Rights Offering.
If the registration statement for the Rights Offering is declared effective by the SEC prior to July 31, 2010 (the scheduled maturity date), Pegasus IV will be deemed to have converted all of the then outstanding principal and interest under the New Convertible Note into a number of units equal to one unit for each $1.006 of outstanding principal and interest under the New Convertible Note. Additionally, the New Convertible Note provides Pegasus IV with the option to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest under the New Convertible Note into a number of units equal to one unit for each $1.006 of outstanding principal and interest. Upon any conversion of the New Convertible Note, Pegasus IV will release us from liability to the extent of the repayment of principal and interest being converted under the New Convertible Note.

On August 24, 2009, the Company and BMO amended the Loan Authorization Agreement, dated July 25, 2008 (the “Loan Agreement”) to extend the maturity date of the Loan Agreement until August 24, 2010 in the event that BMO does not make prior written demand. On the same date and in conjunction with the amendment to the Loan Agreement, the Company and Pegasus IV entered into the Guaranty Extension, whereby Pegasus IV agreed to extend its Guaranty through August 24, 2010. As consideration for the Guaranty Extension, we agreed to pay Pegasus IV a fee, payable upon the earliest to occur of (a) August 24, 2010, (b) the date of termination of the Loan Agreement or the Guaranty and (c) a change of control of the Company (each of (a), (b) and (c), a “Fee Payment Date”). If the Fee Payment Date is August 24, 2010 or the date of termination of the Loan Agreement or the Guaranty, we must pay a fee (the ���Average Daily Balance Fee”) equal to (i) 15% of our average daily loan balance with BMO, multiplied by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the number of days from the date of the Guaranty Extension to the Fee Payment Date by 365 days (the “Usage Percentage”). If the Fee Payment Date is the date of a change of control of the Company, we must pay a fee equal to the greater of (1) Average Daily Balance Fee and (2) 1.0% of the total transaction consideration received by the Company upon such change of control, multiplied by the Usage Percentage.
On August 27, 2009, the Company, LED Holdings, LLC (“LED Holdings”), LED Effects, Inc. (“LED Effects”), Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Pegasus Capital”) and Pegasus IV (together with Pegasus Capital, the “Pegasus Group”), on the one hand, entered into that certain Governing Agreement and Complete Releases (the “Release Agreement”) with Philips Electronics, Philips Electronics North America Corporation (“PENAC”) and Philips Solid-State Lighting Solutions, Inc. (“PSSLS”, and, together with Philips Electronics and PENAC, the “Philips Group”), on the other hand. As previously disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, we have been involved in patent infringement litigation with the Philips Group since February 19, 2008 (the “Patent Litigation”).
Pursuant to the Release Agreement, the parties agreed to dismiss all pending litigation among and between them. Specifically, the Company, LED Holdings, LED Effects and the Pegasus Group, on the one hand, and the Philips Group, on the other hand, agreed to terminate all claims and disputes among them relating to any matter or occurrence, including, but not limited to, all claims and disputes arising out of or related to the Patent Litigation and arising out of or related to any agreements or contracts entered into among the parties prior to the date of the Release Agreement (the “Prior Agreements”). Pursuant to the Release Agreement, the parties agreed that certain of the Prior Agreements will remain in full force and effect and that others will be terminated or will expire in accordance with their terms. The Philips Group released the Company, LED Holdings, LED Effects and the Pegasus Group from any liability stemming from the Patent Litigation and the Prior Agreements, and the Company, LED Holdings, LED Effects and the Pegasus Group each released the Philips Group from any liability relating to the Patent Litigation and the Prior Agreements.
In connection with the Release Agreement, on August 27, 2009, the Company and Philips Lighting B.V. (“Philips Lighting”), an affiliate of the entities in the Philips Group, entered into a Commercial Framework Agreement pursuant to which the Company and Philips Lighting agreed to buy and sell LED lighting products to each other. Also in connection with the Release Agreement, the Company and Philips Electronics entered into a Patent License Agreement pursuant to which Philips Electronics granted the Company a royalty-bearing license to the patents in the Philips LED-based Luminaires and Retrofit Bulbs licensing program. Further, in connection with the Release Agreement, Philips Electronics has made a limited equity investment in the Company pursuant to the convertible note agreement discussed below.
17
On August 27, 2009, we entered into a Convertible Note Agreement (the “Philips Convertible Note”) with Philips Electronics pursuant to which we borrowed $5,000,000 from Philips Electronics. Interest on any outstanding principal balance under the Philips Convertible Note accrues at the rate of 14% per annum. All principal and interest on the Philips Convertible Note is due on the earliest of the following three dates (such date, the “Maturity Date”): (a) July 31, 2010, (b) the date of the consummation of the Rights Offering or (c) the first business day immediately following the date on which we notify Philips Electronics that Pegasus IV has voluntarily converted the outstanding principal and interest under the New Convertible Note (the “Notification Date”). The Philips Convertible Note may not be prepaid and is immediately due and payable upon our failure to pay any of our material debts when due. Pursuant to the Philips Convertible Note, we agreed to conduct the Rights Offering on the same terms as those set forth above with respect to the New Convertible Note with Pegasus IV.
If the registration statement for the Rights Offering is declared effective by the SEC prior to the Maturity Date or if Pegasus IV voluntarily converts the outstanding principal and interest under the New Convertible Note, Philips Electronics will be deemed to have converted all of the then outstanding principal and interest under the Philips Convertible Note into a number of units equal to one unit for each $1.006 of outstanding principal and interest under the Philips Convertible Note. However, any warrant issued upon conversion of the Philips Convertible Note would have an exercise price of $12.00 per share. Such automatic conversion would be deemed to occur on the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Rights Offering or (b) the first business day immediately following the Notification Date. Additionally, the Philips Convertible Note provides Philips Electronics with the option to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest under the Philips Convertible Note into a number of units equal to one unit for each $1.006 of outstanding principal and interest. Upon any conversion of the Philips Convertible Note, Philips Electronics will release us from liability to the extent of the repayment of principal and interest being converted under the Philips Convertible Note.
Results of Operations
Revenues
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, revenues were $8,346,000 and $2,144,000, respectively. Revenues consisted mainly of sales to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the gaming and retail display sectors. Revenues increased in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the corresponding period in 2008 mainly because of the acquisitions of LSGBV and Lamina in the second quarter and third quarter of 2008, respectively.
Cost of Goods Sold
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, cost of goods sold were $7,130,000 and $1,709,000, respectively. The cost of goods sold increased in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the corresponding period in 2008 mainly because of the increase in sales from the acquisitions of LSGBV and Lamina. The gross margin realized on the sales of products increased in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the corresponding period in 2008 mainly because of the increase in total sales for that period. The total gross margin percentage on sales decreased to 14% in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with 20.3% in the corresponding period in 2008 primarily because of a reduction in prices for certain OEM products, reductions in materials yield from production activities and increases in shipping expenses.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Summarized in the table below are our sales and marketing expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the three month period ended March 31, 2008:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Month Period Ended March | | Three Month Period Ended March |
| | 31, 2009 | | 31, 2008 |
Sales and marketing expenses | | $ | 1,815,000 | | | $ | 1,203,000 | |
18
Sales and marketing expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 increased by $612,000 compared with the corresponding period in 2008. This increase is primarily due to: (i) increases in sales and marketing expenses resulting from the acquisition of LSGBV and Lamina, (ii) increases in samples and other marketing costs related to new products launched in the second half of 2008 and (iii) increases in commissions expense due mainly to the increase in revenues.
Operations Expense
Summarized in the table below are operations and related expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the three month period ended March 31, 2008:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Month Period Ended March | | Three Month Period Ended March |
| | 31, 2009 | | 31, 2008 |
Operations expenses | | $ | 4,164,000 | | | $ | 1,217,000 | |
Operations and related expenses increased by $2,947,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the corresponding period in 2008 primarily as a result of: (i) increases in the number of staff employed in supply chain management, including employees assumed pursuant to our acquisitions of LSGBV and Lamina, (ii) increases in third party contract costs and external testing and certification costs related to our research and development activities and (iii) additional provisions of approximately $580,000 for slow moving and obsolete inventory.
General and Administrative Expenses
Summarized in the table below are general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the three month period ended March 31, 2008:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Month Period Ended March | | Three Month Period Ended March |
| | 31, 2009 | | 31, 2008 |
General and administrative expenses | | $ | 7,987,000 | | | $ | 3,723,000 | |
General and administrative expenses increased by $4,264,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the corresponding period in 2008. This increase in expenses was due primarily to: (i) increases in legal expenses of approximately $1,900,000 incurred in connection with our litigation with Philips and certain of its affiliates and general legal expenses, (ii) increases in general and administrative costs related to staff and third party services, including employees assumed pursuant to our acquisitions of LSGBV and Lamina and (iii) increase in stock-based compensation of approximately $450,000 resulting mainly from the grants of stock options and restricted stock awards in the second quarter of 2008.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Summarized in the table below are depreciation and amortization expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the three month period ended March 31, 2008:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Month Period Ended March | | Three Month Period Ended March |
| | 31, 2009 | | 31, 2008 |
Depreciation and amortization expenses | | $ | 1,398,000 | | | $ | 460,000 | |
19
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $938,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared with the corresponding period in 2008 due mainly to (i) increased amortization on the intangible assets acquired through the acquisitions made in 2008, which totaled $399,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and (ii) an increase of $400,000 in the amortization expense for certain software assets during the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared with the corresponding period in 2008 due to a reduction in the estimated useful life of the software.
Interest Expense (Net)
Summarized in the table below is interest expense, net of interest income, for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the three month period ended March 31, 2008:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Month Period Ended March | | Three Month Period Ended March |
| | 31, 2009 | | 31, 2008 |
Interest expense (net) | | $ | 920,000 | | | $ | (70,000 | ) |
The significant increase in the interest expense recorded in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the corresponding period in 2008 is primarily due to: (i) interest expense on the BMO demand loan that was entered into in August 2008, (ii) interest expense on LSGBV’s ABN AMRO ten-year term facility and line of credit and (iii) the amortization of the BMO guarantee fees. We earned net interest income in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as we held net cash balances throughout that period and had no outstanding debt.
Other Income (Net)
Summarized in the table below are other income, net of other expenses, for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with the three month period ended March 31, 2008:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Month Period Ended March | | Three Month Period Ended March |
| | 31, 2009 | | 31, 2008 |
Other income (expense), net | | $ | (119,000 | ) | | $ | 228,000 | |
Other income (expense) was an expense of $(119,000) in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared with income of $228,000 for the corresponding period in 2008. The expense in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 is related primarily to the accretion of the redemption value of the 6% Convertible Preferred Stock. In the three month period ended March 31, 2008, income was recorded as the income from the reduction in the fair value of the derivative liabilities and the reversal of the accretion of the redemption value of the 6% Convertible Preferred Stock that was converted exceeded the dividends on the 6% Convertible Preferred stock and the accretion of the shares of 6% Convertible Preferred stock that were outstanding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity have been short-term loans from Pegasus IV, our cash reserves, draws from our lines of credit with BMO, ABN AMRO and IFN Finance, other short-term loans and cash flows from operating activities. We are currently dependent on Pegasus IV for our liquidity needs because our other historical sources of liquidity are insufficient or unavailable to meet our anticipated working capital needs. Cash outflows are primarily tied to procurement of inventory and payment of salaries, benefits and other operating costs. As of August 1, 2009, we had a backlog of open orders of approximately $4,500,000, the majority of which will ship throughout the balance of 2009. At August 28, 2009, $12,000,000 of the BMO line of credit was available to us.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2009, we used approximately $8,033,000 of cash in operations including net investments in operating working capital. This was mainly as a result of the operating loss for the three month period. During this period, we also used approximately $122,000 in our investing activities.
20
During 2008 and 2009, we had borrowings pursuant to certain unsecured promissory notes. Specifically, on December 19, 2008, we borrowed $1,950,000 from Pegasus IV and $50,000 from certain of our officers, including Govi Rao, our Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer. On March 2, 2009, we repaid $7,500 borrowed from one of our officers, and amended the other outstanding promissory notes to extend the maturity date from March 2, 2009 to July 31, 2009. We subsequently borrowed an additional $9,500,000, in the aggregate, from Pegasus IV pursuant to three separate promissory notes issued on February 13, 2009, April 17, 2009 and May 11, 2009. All of the notes, except the note issued on May 11, 2009, bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The note issued on May 11, 2009 bore interest at a rate of 14% per annum. The table below sets forth a summary of these promissory notes, including the dates they were issued, the aggregate amount borrowed and the maturity date of such notes.
| | | | | |
| | Aggregate Amount | | |
| | Borrowed Under | | |
Date | | Notes | | Original Maturity Date |
December 19, 2008 | | $2.0 million | | March 2, 2009 | |
February 13, 2009 | | $7.0 million | | June 30, 2009 | |
April 17, 2009 | | $2.0 million | | May 15, 2009 | |
May 11, 2009 | | $0.5 million | | May 31, 2009 | |
On May 15, 2009, we entered into a Convertible Note Agreement (the “Original Convertible Note”) with Pegasus IV, which provided us with approximately $31,650,000. Specifically, pursuant to the Original Convertible Note, we borrowed approximately $13,150,000 on May 15, 2009 and approximately $18,500,000 on May 26, 2009. The proceeds of the borrowings on the Original Convertible Note were used to repay the promissory notes issued to Pegasus IV, together with accrued interest thereon, and to pay outstanding principal amounts under our BMO line of credit. Effective as of July 31, 2009, we entered into the First Amendment to the Convertible Note Agreement, pursuant to which the maturity date of the Original Convertible Note was extended. On August 27, 2009, the Original Convertible Note (as amended) was terminated, and we entered into a new Convertible Note Agreement (the “New Convertible Note”) with Pegasus IV in the principal amount of $32,846,619, which represented the outstanding principal and interest on the Original Convertible Note as of August 27, 2009. As with the Original Convertible Note, interest on the New Convertible Note accrues at the rate of 14% per annum. The outstanding principal and interest matures upon the earlier of: (a) July 31, 2010 and (b) the date of the consummation of the Rights Offering (described below) . The New Convertible Note may not be prepaid and is immediately due and payable upon the Company’s failure to pay any of its material debts when due. As with the Original Convertible Note, so long as any amounts remain outstanding under the New Convertible Note, we must obtain the prior written consent of Pegasus IV prior to borrowing more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate pursuant to our line of credit with the BMO.
The New Convertible Note provides that we must use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the Rights Offering as soon as is reasonably practical. On the closing date of the Rights Offering, the New Convertible Note provides that we will be released from liability to the extent of the repayment of outstanding principal and interest on the New Convertible Note and each $1.006 of the outstanding principal and interest will automatically convert into one unit of our securities, with each such unit to consist of one share of newly designated Series D Non-Convertible Preferred Stock and that portion of a warrant representing the right to purchase one share of our common stock. Pegasus IV also has the option to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and interest on the New Convertible Note prior to the closing of the Rights Offering.
As currently contemplated and if the Rights Offering is consummated, the holders of our common stock, 6% Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and warrants to purchase common stock (the “Holders”) will receive one subscription right to purchase one unit for $1.006 per unit for every one share of common stock issued (or issuable upon conversion or exercise) to such Holder on the record date of the Rights Offering. Additionally, subject to certain limitations, each of our employees will be entitled to participate in the Rights Offering. Because of
21
the conversion features of the New Convertible Note and the voluntary nature of participation in the Rights Offering by the Holders, we may receive little or no additional capital as a result of the Rights Offering (other than amounts already funded by Pegasus IV).
On August 27, 2009, we entered into the Philips Convertible Note with Philips Electronics pursuant to which we borrowed $5,000,000 from Philips Electronics. Interest on any outstanding principal balance under the Philips Convertible Note accrues at the rate of 14% per annum. All principal and interest on the Philips Convertible Note is due on the Maturity Date, which is the earliest of the following three dates: (a) July 31, 2010, (b) the date of the consummation of the Rights Offering or (c) the first business day immediately following the date on which we notify Philips Electronics that Pegasus IV has voluntarily converted the outstanding principal and interest under the New Convertible Note (the “Notification Date”). The Philips Convertible Note may not be prepaid and is immediately due and payable upon our failure to pay any of our material debts when due. Similar to the New Convertible Note with Pegasus IV, the outstanding principal and interest on the Philips Convertible Note converts into a unit of our securities on the closing date of the Rights Offering. Further, the Philips Convertible Note also converts upon the voluntary conversion of the New Convertible Note by Pegasus IV.
In connection with the acquisition of the net assets of Lamina, on July 25, 2008 we entered into the Loan Agreement with BMO whereby BMO agreed to provide us with a $20 million line of credit. The line of credit is available to us for working capital and other corporate purposes. The line of credit was scheduled to mature on July 25, 2009 or upon earlier written demand by BMO. On July 24, 2009, we amended the Loan Agreement to extend the maturity date to August 24, 2009 in the event that BMO does not make any prior written demand. Subsequently, on August 24, 2009, we further amended the Loan Agreement with BMO to extend it until August 24, 2010.
LSGBV has negotiated short-term and long-term debt facilities with ABN AMRO and a working capital facility with IFN Finance. At March 31, 2009, the total amount outstanding under the ABN AMRO facilities was approximately $2,227,000 and the total amount outstanding under the IFN Finance facility was $1,906,000. We are required to maintain a solvency ratio (equity to total assets) in excess of 35% pursuant to our short-term and long-term facilities with ABN AMRO. We were not in compliance with this covenant during substantially all of the first six months of 2009. In the second quarter of 2009, we recapitalized LSGBV and remedied our noncompliance by June 30, 2009. If we are not able to maintain compliance with this covenant, ABN AMRO would have the right to accelerate the repayment obligation of the long-term facility and cancel the line of credit.
We pay dividends on our 6% Convertible Preferred Stock four times annually: February 10, May 10, August 10 and November 10. Based on the number of shares of 6% Convertible Preferred Stock currently outstanding, we expect to pay up to $40,000 annually to satisfy our dividend obligation.
Since February 19, 2008, we have been involved in patent infringement litigation with Philips and certain of its affiliates. Specifically, they seek injunctive relief and compensatory and treble damages and attorneys’ fees for alleged infringement of certain patents. On August 27, 2009, the Company and Philips entered into a Release Agreement. Pursuant to the Release Agreement, the parties agreed to dismiss all pending litigation among and between them. Specifically, the Company, LED Holdings, LED Effects and the Pegasus Group, on the one hand, and the Philips Group, on the other hand, agreed to terminate all claims and disputes among them relating to any matter or occurrence, including, but not limited to, all claims and disputes arising out of or related to the Patent Litigation and arising out of or related to Prior Agreements.
Currently, our strategy includes the outsourcing of certain manufacturing operations. Accordingly, except for any expenditures required to produce production tooling and molds for use by our contract manufacturers, we have made minimal investments in plant and equipment. If we increase sales and product deliveries, we may be required to make additions to select functional areas beyond current anticipated levels. Further, if we were to undertake the manufacture of certain or all of our products, capital expenditures would increase.
22
We have embarked upon an aggressive design and development program in conjunction with bringing our products to market. Furthermore, we acquired the assets and businesses of LSGBV and Lamina during 2008. If we are successful in marketing our current products and developing additional new products or we make further acquisitions, additional capital may be needed to fund the manufacturing process to produce finished goods and support the required investment in working capital. We may be required to raise additional capital to meet our obligations and to complete the commercialization of certain of our products currently being developed, to increase our marketing efforts or to make additional acquisitions.
As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, we have incurred comprehensive losses of ($96,850,000) during the year ended December 31, 2008, and incurred a comprehensive loss of $(15,860,000) in the three month period ended March 31, 2009. In addition, at December 31, 2008, our current working capital level was insufficient in our view to sustain our current levels of operations without substantial cost reductions. The 2008 loss included, among other items, a $53,110,000 impairment charge for goodwill and intangible assets, approximately $7,000,000 increase in legal fees, a $6,634,000 increase in overall operating expenses as a result of the two acquisitions and the start up of certain international operations during 2008, a $4,450,000 provision for obsolete and slow moving inventory and a $3,370,000 compensation expense related to the grants of stock options and restricted stock during the year ended December 31, 2008, which substantially increased our operating loss. The loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 included legal fees of approximately $3,000,000, provisions for slow moving and obsolete stock of approximately $580,000 and compensation expenses of approximately $680,000 related to stock options and restricted stock previously granted.
In response to these trends and conditions, we are in the process of implementing a strategic plan to alleviate liquidity shortfalls, including: (i) consolidating operations, specifically relocating financial operations from Dallas, Texas and the operations based in Westampton, New Jersey to our Satellite Beach, Florida offices, (ii) eliminating a substantial number of positions in both our European and U.S. operations (total headcount reduction is anticipated to be approximately 70 employees by September 1, 2009, of which 67 terminations were completed as of August 28, 2009), and (iii) reducing operating expenses, specifically curtailing third party sales and marketing expenses, reducing legal expenses and reducing third party professional services for technology and operations. In addition, to improve gross margin, we are in the process of: (i) outsourcing certain production to contract manufacturers, (ii) negotiating lower supply costs, (iii) consolidating vendors and (iv) reprioritizing our product line.
Although we are taking significant steps to increase revenue, reduce costs, and preserve cash reserves to sustain operations and achieve a positive cash flow position on a monthly basis by the end of the fourth quarter of 2009, there can be no assurance that any or all of our restructuring plans will be implemented or will be implemented in a timely manner to achieve such results.
Negative developments in the global credit and securitization markets in the latter half of 2007 and during 2008 and 2009 have resulted in uncertainty in the financial markets in general with the expectation of the general economic downturn continuing through at least the second half of 2009. The global economic crisis and turmoil in the global financial markets has adversely impacted our business, the businesses of our customers from whom we generate revenues and our potential sources of capital financing. As a result, we have had difficulty identifying conventional lending sources. While we believe that our current cash balances, amounts available under our lines of credit and other credit facilities, the cash received from the sale of our products and the anticipated proceeds from the Rights Offering will be sufficient to meet our expected cash needs, we may need to seek other potential sources of outside capital including strategic business relationships, bank borrowings, and public or private sales of shares of our
23
capital stock or debt or similar arrangements. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock, the effective ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are unable to obtain sufficient outside capital when needed, our business and future prospects will be adversely affected.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Strategy and Finance, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President, Strategy and Finance, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009 were not effective primarily as a result of our acquisitions of LSGBV and Lamina in fiscal year 2008 and the Acquisition in fiscal year 2007. The acquired businesses were not public companies and did not maintain effective controls. As a result, we have had difficulty consolidating and integrating the financial accounting operations of these acquired businesses. Specifically, we have identified the following material weaknesses:
| • | | We failed to implement processes to ensure periodic monitoring of our existing internal control activities over financial reporting; |
|
| • | | We did not maintain sufficient staffing of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, SEC reporting requirements and in internal control over financial reporting commensurate with our financial reporting requirements; and |
|
| • | | Due to our limited resources and our continued integration of the acquisitions of LSGBV and Lamina during fiscal year 2008 and the Acquisition during fiscal year 2007, we were unable to: (i) adequately assess whether our existing controls were operating as designed and (ii) effectively implement additional necessary controls. Further, certain controls that were identified as requiring remediation or implementation were not completed as of March 31, 2009. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we implemented or began implementing the following measures, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting:
| • | | The hiring of key additional accounting staff and financial reporting staff; |
| • | | The acquisition of accounting and financial reporting research tools for the use of our staff; |
| • | | The initiation of an ongoing and comprehensive review of financial controls and procedures to address the issues identified above and to bring us into compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to internal controls and procedures and to continue the integration and standardization of the accounting process for the operations acquired in previous periods; and |
|
| • | | The implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning software program designed to automate and systematize internal control over financial reporting. |

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On August 27, 2009, the Company, LED Holdings, LED Effects and the Pegasus Group, on the one hand, entered into the Release Agreement with the Philips Group, on the other hand. As previously disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company and the Philips Group have been involved in Patent Litigation since February 19, 2008.
Pursuant to the Release Agreement, the parties agreed to dismiss all pending litigation among and between them. Specifically, the Company, LED Holdings, LED Effects and the Pegasus Group, on the one hand, and the Philips Group, on the other hand, agreed to terminate all claims and disputes among them relating to any matter or occurrence, including, but not limited to, all claims and disputes arising out of or related to the Patent Litigation and arising out of or related to any Prior Agreements. Pursuant to the Release Agreement, the parties agreed that certain of the Prior Agreements will remain in full force and effect and that others will be terminated or will expire in accordance with their terms. The Philips Group released the Company, LED Holdings, LED Effects and the Pegasus Group from any liability stemming from the Patent Litigation and the Prior Agreements, and the Company, LED Holdings, LED Effects and the Pegasus Group each released the Philips Group from any liability relating to the Patent Litigation and the Prior Agreements. As of August 10, 2009, LED Holdings beneficially owned 62.9% of the Company’s common stock and Pegasus IV, an interest-holder of LED Holdings, beneficially owned 82.3% of the Company’s common stock.
In connection with the Release Agreement, on August 27, 2009, the Company and Philips Lighting, an affiliate of the entities in the Philips Group, entered into a Commercial Framework Agreement pursuant to which the Company and Philips Lighting agreed to buy and sell LED lighting products to each other. Also in connection with the Release Agreement, the Company and Philips Electronics entered into a Patent License Agreement pursuant to which Philips Electronics granted the Company a royalty-bearing license to the patents in the Philips LED-based Luminaires and Retrofit Bulbs licensing program. Further, in connection with the Release Agreement, Philips Electronics has made a limited equity investment in the Company pursuant to the Philips Convertible Note.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
LSGBV has negotiated short-term and long-term debt facilities with ABN AMRO, of which $246,000 and $1,981,000 were outstanding at March 31, 2009, respectively. We are required to maintain a solvency ratio (equity to total assets) in excess of 35% pursuant to our short-term and long-term facilities with ABN AMRO. We were not in compliance with this covenant during substantially all of the first six months of 2009. In the second quarter of 2009, we recapitalized LSGBV and remedied our noncompliance by June 30, 2009. If we are not able to maintain compliance with this covenant, ABN AMRO would have the right to accelerate the repayment obligation of the long-term facility and cancel the line of credit.
