LIGHTING SCIENCE GROUP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTIONOF BUSINESSAND BASISOF PRESENTATION
Overview
Lighting Science Group Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1988 and designs, develops, manufactures and markets general illumination products that exclusively use light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) as their light source. The Company’s product portfolio includes LED-based retrofit lamps (replacement bulbs) that can be used in existing light fixtures and sockets as well as purpose built LED-based luminaires (light fixtures), for many common indoor and outdoor residential, commercial, industrial and public infrastructure lighting applications. The Company assembles and manufactures products internally and through its contract manufacturers in China and India.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with the disclosure requirements for the quarterly report on Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2013.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2. SUMMARYOF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The Company’s actual results could differ from these estimates.
Accounts Receivable
The Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount when its products are shipped to customers or upon the completion of specific milestone billing requirements. The Company’s accounts receivable balance is recorded net of allowances for amounts not expected to be collected from customers. This allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Estimates used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts are based on historical collection experience, age of receivables and known collectability issues. The Company writes off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent, based upon age or customer circumstances, that such amounts will not be collected. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis. Recovery of bad debt amounts previously written off is recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense in the period the payment is collected. Generally, the Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not regularly charge interest on past due amounts. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s accounts receivable were reflected net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $396,000 and $1.2 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $8.2 million and $11.4 million, respectively, of eligible accounts receivable pledged as collateral for the Company’s line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”).
6
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue when its products are shipped and title passes to customers. When sales of products are subject to certain customer acceptance terms, revenue from such sales is recognized once such terms have been met. The Company also provides its customers with limited rights of return for non-conforming shipments or product warranty claims.
The Company recognizes revenue on certain long-term, fixed price, custom lighting design projects using the percentage of completion method based on the ratio of costs incurred for each contract in a period to the estimated total costs to be incurred for each contract. Contract costs include all direct material, direct labor and other indirect costs related to contract performance. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
For smaller or shorter term custom lighting design projects or projects where estimated total costs cannot be determined, revenue is recognized using the completed contract method where recognition occurs upon substantial completion and acceptance by the customer of the project. Amounts received as deposits against future completion of completed contract method projects are recorded as unearned revenue until such projects are completed and title passes to the customer.
Product Warranties
The Company generally provides a five-year limited warranty covering defective materials and workmanship of its products and such warranty may require the Company to repair, replace or reimburse the purchaser for the purchase price of the product. The estimated costs related to warranties are accrued at the time products are sold based on various factors, including the Company’s stated warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims and the cost to repair or replace its products under warranty. Changes in the warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are as follows:
| | | | |
Warranty provision as of December 31, 2012 | | $ | 2,108,012 | |
Additions to provision | | | 1,977,142 | |
Less warranty costs | | | (2,653,091 | ) |
| | | | |
| |
Warranty provision as of September 30, 2013 | | $ | 1,432,063 | |
| | | | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, amounts due under lines of credit and other short term borrowings, accrued expense and other current liabilities are carried at amounts that approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The Riverwood Warrants, September 2012 Warrants and the Pegasus Commitment (each as defined in Note 9 below) and the Pegasus Warrant (defined in Note 8 below) were initially recorded at fair value and subsequently reflected at their fair value at the end of each reporting period.
NOTE 3. LIQUIDITYAND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As shown in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced significant net losses as well as negative cash flows from operations since its inception. The Company’s cash expenditures primarily relate to procurement of inventory, payment of salaries, employee benefits and other operating costs and purchases of production equipment and other capital investments. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have historically been borrowings from Wells Fargo and sales of common stock and preferred stock to, and short-term loans from, affiliates of Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Pegasus Capital”), including Pegasus Partners IV, L.P. (“Pegasus IV”), LSGC Holdings, LLC (“LSGC Holdings”), LSGC Holdings II, LLC (“Holdings II”) and PCA LSG Holdings, LLC (“PCA Holdings”), which together with its affiliates, is the Company’s controlling stockholder. However, as detailed below, the Series H and I Preferred Offering (defined in Note 9 below) was provided primarily by parties other than Pegasus Capital and its affiliates.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.3 million and an additional $5.0 million in cash subject to restrictions pursuant to the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo (the “Wells Fargo ABL”). The Wells Fargo ABL provides the Company with a borrowing capacity of up to $50.0 million,
7
which capacity is equal to the sum of (i) 85% of its eligible accounts receivable plus up to $7.5 million of eligible inventory, less certain reserves established against such accounts receivable and inventory by Wells Fargo from time to time pursuant to the Wells Fargo ABL, plus (ii) unrestricted cash held in a Wells Fargo deposit account (“Qualified Cash”), plus (iii) the amount of the Second Lien Letter of Credit Facility with Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares Capital”), pledged in favor of Wells Fargo (the “Ares Letter of Credit Facility”) for the benefit of the Company (collectively, the “Borrowing Base”). The Company is at all times required to maintain (i) a Borrowing Base that exceeds the amount of its outstanding borrowings under the Wells Fargo ABL by at least $5.0 million and (ii) $5.0 million in Qualified Cash. The Company would be required to comply with certain specified EBITDA requirements in the event that it has less than $2.0 million available for borrowing under the Wells Fargo ABL.
On March 31, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 6 (“Amendment No. 6”) to the Wells Fargo ABL, which among other things, (i) extended the maturity date of the Wells Fargo ABL to April 2, 2014, and (ii) reduced the maximum credit available under the Wells Fargo ABL by $2.5 million (from $50.0 million to $47.5 million) on November 22, 2013 if (x) the Company’s consolidated earnings (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization for the nine month period ending on September 30, 2013 is greater than $(20.2 million) and (y) excess availability under the Wells Fargo ABL on November 22, 2013 is less than $10.0 million. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $30.5 million of outstanding borrowings under the Wells Fargo ABL and additional borrowing capacity of $14.1 million.
On September 11, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 17,394 shares of its newly designated Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), at a price of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”) for aggregate proceeds of $17.4 million (the “Series J Preferred Offering”). The shares of Series J Preferred Stock were issued pursuant to a preferred stock subscription agreement (the “Series J Subscription Agreement”) entered into between the Company, RW LSG Holdings LLC, (“Riverwood Holdings”), an affiliate of Riverwood LSG Management Holdings LLC (“Riverwood Management”) and Riverwood Capital Partners L.P. (“Riverwood Capital,” and together with Riverwood Holdings, Riverwood Management and their affiliates, “Riverwood”), PCA Holdings and Holdings II. The Company issued 12,500, 2,500 and 2,394 shares of Series J Preferred Stock to Holdings II, PCA Holdings and Riverwood Holdings, respectively.
In an effort to strengthen the balance sheet and provide liquidity to meet the Company’s cash flow needs for the next twelve months, the Company will seek additional sources of liquidity and continue to implement cost control measures. The Company may not have access to sources of liquidity in an amount or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient capital when needed, the Company’s business, compliance with the credit facility and future prospects will be adversely affected.

| | | | | | | | |
Depreciation related to property and equipment was $2.6 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Depreciation related to property and equipment was $6.9 million and $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Impairment of Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated economic lives. Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, are evaluated to determine whether, in management’s judgment, events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may warrant a revision of the estimated useful life or whether the remaining balance should be evaluated for possible impairment. Such impairment tests compare estimated undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the property and equipment in assessing whether an asset has been impaired. If an impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its fair value based on an estimate of its discounted cash flows.
The Company performed an impairment analysis of property and equipment related to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lighting Science Group Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. (“LSG Mexico”) in September 2012 due to the announced commitment by the Company’s Board of Directors to transition all manufacturing in Mexico to Jabil Circuit, Inc., the Company’s contract manufacturer in Mexico (the “Mexico Closing”). This review included an assessment of the proposed future use of the property and equipment and their estimated useful lives. As a result of this assessment the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, which is included in Restructuring Expense.
NOTE 5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. The intangible assets, their original fair values and their net book values are detailed below as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Cost, Less Impairment Charges | | | Accumulated Amortization | | | Net Book Value | | | Estimated Remaining Useful Life |
September 30, 2013: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Technology and intellectual property | | $ | 1,757,651 | | | $ | (147,700 | ) | | $ | 1,609,951 | | | 11.0 to 20.0 years |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
December 31, 2012: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Technology and intellectual property | | $ | 988,629 | | | $ | (124,219 | ) | | $ | 864,410 | | | 11.6 to 20.0 years |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total intangible amortization expense was $12,000 and $61,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total intangible amortization expense was $27,000 and $198,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed to determine if their estimable lives have decreased. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever, in management’s judgment, conditions indicate a possible impairment. Such impairment tests compare the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets to the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its fair value based on an estimate of its discounted cash flows.
9
The Company reviewed the amortizable intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of LSGBV for impairment as of September 30, 2012 primarily due to LSGBV’s ongoing negative cash flows from operations, among other factors. This review included an assessment of the current use of these intangible assets and their estimated useful lives. As a result of this review, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $380,000 as of September 30, 2012.
The following table summarizes the total impairment charges recorded by the Company in the third quarter of 2012:

As of September 30, 2013, eligible collateral included $8.2 million of accounts receivable, $25.7 million of inventory and $10.0 million of Qualified Cash. Borrowings under the Wells Fargo ABL bear interest at one of the following two rates (at the Company’s election): (a) the sum of (1) the greater of: (x) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (y) the daily three month LIBOR rate plus 1.0% and (z) Wells Fargo’s prime rate; and (2) 0.75%, 1.25% or 1.75%, as applicable, depending on the amount available for borrowing under the facility and subject to any reserves established by Wells Fargo in accordance with the terms of the Wells Fargo ABL; or (b) the sum of the daily three month LIBOR rate plus 3.0%, 3.5% or 4.0%, as applicable, depending on the amount available for borrowing under the facility and subject to any reserves established by Wells Fargo in accordance with the terms of the facility. The interest rate on the Wells Fargo ABL was 3.25% as of September 30, 2013.
The Company is required to pay certain fees, including an unused line fee ranging from 0.375% to 1.0% of the unused portion of the Wells Fargo ABL. Outstanding loans may be prepaid without penalty or premium, except that the Company is required to pay a termination fee ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 (depending on the date of termination) if the facility is terminated by the Company prior to the scheduled maturity date of April 2, 2014 or by Wells Fargo during a default period.
The Wells Fargo ABL contains financial covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or guaranty indebtedness of others, create liens on the Company’s assets, enter into mergers or consolidations, dispose of assets, prepay indebtedness, make changes to the Company’s governing documents and certain agreements, pay dividends or make other distributions on the Company’s capital stock, redeem or repurchase capital stock, make investments, including acquisitions and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The Company is at all times required to maintain (i) a Borrowing Base that exceeds the amount of its outstanding borrowings under the Wells Fargo ABL by at least $5.0 million and (ii) $5.0 million of Qualified Cash. The Company would be required to comply with certain specified EBITDA requirements in the event that it has less than $2.0 million available for borrowing on the Wells Fargo ABL. The Wells Fargo ABL also contains customary events of default and affirmative covenants, a subjective acceleration clause, a lockbox requirement and cross default provisions.
On March 31, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Wells Fargo ABL, which among other things, (i) extended the maturity date of the Wells Fargo ABL to April 2, 2014, and (ii) reduced the maximum credit available under the Wells Fargo ABL by $2.5 million (from $50.0 million to $47.5 million) on November 22, 2013 if (x) the
10
Company’s consolidated earnings (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization for the nine month period ending on September 30, 2013 is greater than $(20.2 million) and (y) excess availability under the Wells Fargo ABL on November 22, 2013 is less than $10.0 million.
Pursuant to Amendment No. 6, Wells Fargo also waived certain events of default under the Wells Fargo ABL related to the Company’s creation of Lighting Science India Private Limited (“LSIPL”), its subsidiary in India. The Company also agreed to pledge 65% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of LSIPL as collateral supporting the Wells Fargo ABL. Further, Amendment No. 6 permits the Company to make additional advances to certain affiliates (including LSIPL) in an amount not to exceed $500,000 from the date of Amendment No. 6 through October 1, 2013, and in an amount not to exceed $250,000 thereafter.
On June 4, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Wells Fargo ABL, which among other things, increased the limit on the aggregate amount of all letters of credit the Company may issue (the “Letter of Credit Limit”) to $7.0 million from $2.0 million.
Ares Capital
On September 21, 2011, the Company entered into the Ares Letter of Credit Facility, a $25.0 million standby letter of credit issued by Ares Capital in favor of Wells Fargo for the benefit of the Company. As a condition to Ares Capital’s agreement to provide the Ares Letter of Credit Facility for the benefit of the Company, the Company entered into the Second Lien Letter of Credit, Loan and Security Agreement (the “Ares Loan Agreement”) with Ares Capital. In accordance with the Ares Loan Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse Ares Capital for any amounts drawn on the Ares Letter of Credit Facility and to permanently reduce the face amount of the Ares Letter of Credit Facility by such amount. Further, the Company agreed that any such reimbursement obligation would automatically convert into a term loan (an “Ares Term Loan”) by Ares Capital to the Company secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Ares Letter of Credit Facility may only be used to collateralize borrowings pursuant to the Wells Fargo ABL.
Interest on any Ares Term Loan accrues at either (at the Company’s election): (a) 9.0% per annum plus the greater of (i) The Wall Street Journal prime rate, (ii) the sum of 0.50% per annum and the federal funds rate and (iii) the sum of 1.0% per annum and the higher of the daily one month LIBOR rate and 1.5% per annum; or (b) 10.0% per annum plus the greater of (i) 1.5% per annum and (ii) the daily one-month LIBOR rate. The Company is required to pay certain fees to Ares Capital under the Ares Loan Agreement including: (a) an annual administrative fee of $50,000, payable quarterly in advance; (b) a quarterly fronting fee equal to the product of the average daily undrawn face amount of the Ares Letter of Credit Facility multiplied by 0.75% per annum; and (c) a quarterly letter of credit fee equal to the product of the average daily undrawn face amount of the Ares Letter of Credit Facility multiplied by 10.0% per annum.
On April 1, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Ares Letter of Credit Facility (the “Ares Amendment”), which extends the maturity date of the Ares Letter of Credit Facility to April 2, 2014. Pursuant to the Ares Amendment, Ares Capital also waived certain events of defaults under the Ares Letter of Credit Facility related to our creation of LSIPL. The Company also agreed to pledge 65% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of LSIPL as collateral supporting the Ares Letter of Credit Facility.
NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) defines fair value as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to a fair valuation of these assets and liabilities and are based on (i) unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date (Level 1); (ii) quoted prices in non-active markets or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (Level 2); and (iii) prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (Level 3).
The Company has recorded the Riverwood Warrants, the September 2012 Warrants and the Pegasus Commitment (each as defined in Note 9 below) and the Pegasus Warrant (defined in Note 8 below) at their fair values using the Monte Carlo valuation method and they are valued on a recurring basis at the end of each reporting period.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013, according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values:

NOTE 8. SERIES J REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Series J Preferred Stock
On September 11, 2013, the Company entered into the Series J Subscription Agreement with Riverwood Holdings, PCA Holdings and Holdings II, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 17,394 shares of Series J Preferred Stock, at a price of $1,000 per share, for gross proceeds of $17.4 million. The Company issued 12,500, 2,500 and 2,394 shares of Series J Preferred Stock to Holdings II, PCA Holdings and Riverwood Holdings, respectively. As compensation for advisory services provided by Pegasus, on September 11, 2013, the Company issued a warrant to Holdings II (the “Pegasus Warrant”) representing the right to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock at a variable exercise price that will be determined on the date of exercise.
In connection with the Series J Preferred Offering, and pursuant to the certificates of designation governing the shares of the Company’s Series H Preferred Stock (the “Series H Certificate of Designation”) and Series I Preferred Stock (the “Series I Certificate of Designation”), the Company agreed to offer to all holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock (defined in Note 9), and Series I Preferred Stock (defined in Note 9), the right to purchase shares of Series J Preferred Stock based upon such holder’s ownership of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted, as converted basis (the “Preemptive Rights Offering”). Pursuant to the Series J Subscription Agreement, Pegasus committed to purchase the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock equal to 20,000 minus the aggregate number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock issued in the Series J Preferred Offering and the Preemptive Rights Offering at a price per share equal to the Stated Value (the “Pegasus Series J Commitment”). On October 16, 2013, the Company completed the Preemptive Rights Offering and issued an aggregate of 1,449 shares of Series J Preferred Stock at the Stated Value, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.4 million. Pursuant to the Pegasus Series J Commitment, Pegasus is obligated to purchase 1,157 shares of Series J Preferred Stock on or before November 19, 2013 at the Stated Value, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.2 million.
The Series J Preferred Stock is senior to the Series H Preferred Stock, the Series I Preferred Stock and the common stock and is entitled to dividends of the same type as any dividends or other distribution of any kind payable or to be made
12
on outstanding shares of common stock, on an as converted basis. Each share of Series J Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at the election of the holder thereof, into the number of shares of common stock (the “Optional Conversion Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Stated Value of such shares of Series J Preferred Stock by (b) the $0.95 conversion price, subject to certain adjustments.
The Company will redeem all outstanding shares of Series J Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to the Liquidation Amount (as defined below) upon the Company’s receipt of a notice from the holders of Series H Preferred Stock that would require the Company to redeem the shares of Series H Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series H Certificate of Designation. The redemption of any shares of Series J Preferred Stock would be senior and prior to any redemption of Series H Preferred Stock or Series I Preferred Stock and any holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock may elect to have less than all or none of such holder’s shares of Series J Preferred Stock redeemed. At any time after the Company has redeemed any shares of Series H Preferred Stock, at any time thereafter each holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock may elect to have all or a portion of such holder’s shares of Series J Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company for an amount in cash equal to the Liquidation Amount of such shares of Series J Preferred Stock.
The “Liquidation Amount” of each share of Series J Preferred Stock is equal to the greater of (a) the fair market value of the Optional Conversion Shares and (b) if the applicable reference date occurs (i) on or prior to May 26, 2014, an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Stated Value by (B) 1.75; and (ii) subsequent to May 26, 2014, an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Stated Value by (B) 2.0.
In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the shares of Series J Preferred Stock are recorded as mezzanine equity because such shares contain terms that allow the holder to redeem the shares for cash, and for which redemption is not solely within the control of the Company. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company will recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Series J Preferred Stock was recorded at redemption value as of September 11, 2013, which included a deemed dividend due to the redemption feature and resulted in the Company recording an increase of $21.6 million to the Series J Preferred Stock with an offset in additional paid-in capital. There was no change in the redemption value as of September 30, 2013.
Pegasus Warrant
The Pegasus Warrant was issued to Holdings II on September 11, 2013 in consideration for advisory services provided by Pegasus. The Pegasus Warrant represents the right to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock at a variable exercise price that will be determined on the date of exercise. The exercise price will be equal to the difference obtained by subtracting (a) the fair market value for each share of common stock on the day immediately preceding the date of exercise from (b) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) approximately 2.764% of the amount by which the total equity value of the Company exceeds $523.9 million (as may be adjusted for subsequent capital raises) by (ii) the number of shares of common stock underlying the Pegasus Warrant; provided that for so long as the total equity value of the Company is less than or equal to $523.9 million (as may be adjusted for subsequent capital raises) the Pegasus Warrant will not be exercisable. The Pegasus Warrant provides for certain anti-dilution adjustments and if unexercised, expires on May 25, 2022.
The Pegasus Warrant is considered a derivative financial instrument in accordance with ASC 815-10-15, “Derivatives and Hedging” due to the variable nature of the warrant exercise price. The Pegasus Warrant was recorded as a liability at fair value using the Monte Carlo valuation method at issuance with changes in fair value measured and recorded at the end of each quarter. There was no change in fair value of the Pegasus Warrant for the period from September 11, 2013 (date of issuance) through September 30, 2013.
NOTE 9. SERIES HAND SERIES I REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Series H and I Preferred Stock
On May 25, 2012, the Company entered into a preferred stock subscription agreement (the “Series H and I Subscription Agreement”) with Riverwood Holdings and certain other purchasers, pursuant to which the Company issued 60,705 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H Preferred Stock”) and 6,364 shares of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series I Preferred Stock” and together with the Series H Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Shares”) at a price of $1,000 per Preferred Share (the “Series H and I Preferred Offering”), for gross proceeds of $67.1 million. As compensation for Riverwood’s provision of certain financial and structural analysis, due diligence investigations, corporate strategy and other advice and negotiation assistance to the Company in connection with the Series H and I Preferred Offering, the Company issued a warrant to Riverwood Management (the “Riverwood Warrant”) representing the right to purchase 18,092,511 shares of common stock at a variable exercise price that will be determined on the date of exercise.
13
On September 25, 2012, the Company also entered into a separate preferred stock subscription agreement (together, the “September 2012 Subscription Agreements”) with each of (i) Portman Limited (“Portman”) and (ii) Cleantech Europe II (A) LP (“Cleantech A”) and Cleantech Europe II (B) LP (“Cleantech B” and together with Cleantech A, “Zouk”), pursuant to which the Company issued 49,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per shares of Series H Preferred Stock (the “September 2012 Preferred Offering”), for gross proceeds of $49.0 million. In conjunction with the September 2012 Preferred Offering, the Company also issued warrants to each of Portman, Cleantech A and Cleantech B to purchase 4,000,000, 3,406,041 and 593,959 shares of common stock, respectively (the “September 2012 Warrants”).
On September 11, 2013, in connection with the Series J Preferred Offering, Riverwood and Pegasus, as the “Primary Investors” of the Series H Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock, respectively, approved the Amended and Restated Series H Certificate of Designation and the Amended and Restated Series I Certificate of Designation (collectively, the “Amended Certificates of Designation”) and certain holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock agreed to make certain amendments to the agreements entered into in connection with the purchase of (i) the shares of Series H Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock and (ii) the Company’s previously issued shares of Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock, which were subsequently converted into shares of Series H Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Subscription Agreements”).
The Amended Certificates of Designation amend the terms of the Series H Certificate of Designation and Series I Certificate of Designation to, among other things, (i) reduce the price used to determine the number of shares of common stock each share of Series H Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock can be converted into at the election of each holder from $1.18 to $0.95 (the “Conversion Price”); (ii) remove the covenant requiring the Company to comply with certain minimum thresholds related to the Company’s consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for 2013 and 2014; (iii) increase, from $10 million to $50 million, the amount of indebtedness the Company can incur without the consent of Riverwood and Pegasus (in each case, in their capacity as “Primary Investor” of the Series H Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock, respectively) and (iv) make certain other clarifying amendments to the Certificates of Designation. The reduction in the Conversion Price for the Series H Preferred Stock and the Series I Preferred Stock resulted in the Company recording a deemed dividend of $14.4 million, which is reflected in earnings per share allocated to controlling shareholders and noncontrolling shareholders.
The Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of the same type as any dividends or other distribution of any kind payable or to be made on outstanding shares of common stock, on an as converted basis. Each Preferred Share is convertible at any time, at the election of the holder thereof, into the Optional Conversion Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the $1,000 by (b) the $0.95 conversion price, subject to certain adjustments.
In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Preferred Shares are recorded as mezzanine equity because the Preferred Shares contain terms that allow the holder to redeem the shares for cash, and for which redemption is not solely within the control of the Company. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company will recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the Preferred Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. There was no change in the redemption value during the period ending September 30, 2013.
Riverwood Warrants
The Riverwood Warrant was issued to Riverwood Management on May 25, 2012 in consideration for services provided in connection with the Series H and I Preferred Offering. The Riverwood Warrant represents the right to purchase 18,092,511 shares of common stock at a variable exercise price that will be determined on the date of exercise. Subsequent to the issuance of the Riverwood Warrant, Riverwood assigned a portion of the Riverwood Warrant representing the right to purchase an aggregate of 5,427,751 shares of common stock to certain of the former members of Riverwood Management. The exercise price will be equal to the difference obtained by subtracting (a) the fair market value for each share of common stock on the day immediately preceding the date of exercise from (b) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) 5% of the amount by which the total equity value of the Company exceeds $523.9 million (as may be adjusted for subsequent capital raises) by (ii) the number of shares of common stock underlying the Riverwood Warrants; provided that for so long as the total equity value of the Company is less than or equal to $523.9 million (as may be adjusted for subsequent capital raises) the Riverwood Warrants will not be exercisable. The Riverwood Warrants provide for certain anti-dilution adjustments and if unexercised, expire on May 25, 2022.
The Riverwood Warrants are considered a derivative financial instrument in accordance with ASC 815-10-15, “Derivatives and Hedging” due to the variable nature of the warrant exercise price. The Riverwood Warrants were recorded as a liability at fair value using the Monte Carlo valuation method at issuance with changes in fair value measured and recorded at the end of each quarter. The change in fair value of the Riverwood Warrants was $(2.1) million and $2.4
14
million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was included in the (increase) decrease in fair value of liabilities under derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The change in fair value of the Riverwood Warrants was $1.3 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was included in the decrease in fair value of liabilities under derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
September 2012 Warrants and September 2012 Commitment Agreement
In connection with the issuance of the September 2012 Warrants, on September 25, 2012, the Company entered into a Commitment Agreement (the “September 2012 Commitment Agreement”) with Pegasus, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to buy from Pegasus IV or its affiliates shares of common stock equal to the number of shares, if any, for which the September 2012 Warrants are exercised, up to an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying all of the September 2012 Warrants (the “Pegasus Commitment”). The purchase price for any shares of common stock purchased by the Company pursuant to the Pegasus Commitment will be equal to the consideration paid to the Company pursuant to the September 2012 Warrants. With respect to any September 2012 Warrants exercised on a cashless basis, the consideration to Pegasus IV in exchange for the number of shares of common stock issued to the exercising holder of September 2012 Warrants would be the reduction in the Pegasus Commitment equal to the reduction in the number of shares underlying the September 2012 Warrants.
Subject to certain limitations, Pegasus IV has the right to cancel its obligations to the Company pursuant to the September 2012 Commitment Agreement with respect to all or a portion of the Pegasus Commitment then outstanding (a “Pegasus Call”). Upon the exercise of a Pegasus Call, the Company will have the obligation to purchase that number of September 2012 Warrants equal to the Pegasus Commitment subject to the Pegasus Call for an amount equal to the consideration paid by Pegasus IV pursuant to such Pegasus Call.
The September 2012 Warrants are exercisable on or after the tenth business day following the third anniversary of the Issuance Date at an exercise price of $0.72 per share of common stock. If unexercised, the September 2012 Warrants expire upon the earlier of (i) a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designation) prior to the three-year anniversary of the Issuance Date; (ii) the occurrence of any event that results in holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock having a right to require the Company to redeem the shares of Series H Preferred Stock prior to the three-year anniversary of the Issuance Date; (iii) consummation of a qualified public offering (“QPO”) (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designation) prior to the three-year anniversary of the Issuance Date or (iv) receipt by the Company of a Redemption Notice (as defined in the Subscription Agreements). The September 2012 Warrants also provide for certain anti-dilution adjustments.
The September 2012 Warrants are considered derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-10-15, “Derivatives and Hedging” due to the cash settlement feature in the instrument. The September 2012 Warrants were recorded as liabilities at fair value using the Monte Carlo valuation method at issuance with changes in fair value measured and recorded at the end of each quarter. The increase in fair value of the September 2012 Warrants was $320,000 and $240,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and was included in additional paid-in capital. There was no change in fair value of the September 2012 Warrants for the period from September 25, 2012 (date of issuance) through September 30, 2012.
The Pegasus Commitment is classified as a financial instrument under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” due to the Company’s obligation to purchase its own shares in the event the September 2012 Warrants are exercised by the holders. The Pegasus Commitment was recorded as an asset at fair value using the Monte Carlo valuation method at issuance with changes in fair value measured and recorded at the end of each quarter. The change in fair value of the Pegasus Commitment was $320,000 and $240,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and was included in additional paid-in capital. The change in fair value of the Pegasus Commitment generally offsets the change in fair value of the September 2012 Warrants for the same period.
NOTE 10. SERIES G PREFERRED UNITS
Series G Preferred Units
On December 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Series G Preferred Unit Subscription Agreement (the “Series G Subscription Agreement”) with PCA Holdings, Pegasus IV, Holdings II, Leon Wagner, a member of the Company’s board of directors and certain accredited investors (together with Pegasus IV, PCA Holdings, Holdings II and any additional investors that may become party to the Series G Subscription Agreement, the “Series G Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Series G Subscription Agreement and subsequent subscription agreements on terms substantially similar to the Series G
15
Subscription Agreement entered into between December 2011 and May 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 52,358 Series G Preferred Units at a price per Series G Preferred Unit of $1,000 for total consideration of $52.4 million. Holdings II purchased an aggregate of 14,958 Series G Preferred Units; PCA Holdings purchased an aggregate of 17,650 Series G Preferred Units; Leon Wagner purchased an aggregate of 6,500 Series G Preferred Units; and the additional accredited investors purchased an aggregate of 13,250 Series G Preferred Units.
In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the shares of Series G Preferred Stock were recorded initially at fair value as a liability as the Series G Preferred Stock may have required settlement in a variable number of shares of common stock. Subsequent to initial recognition, the shares of Series G Preferred Stock were recorded at the present value of the amount to be paid at settlement, accruing interest cost using the rate implicit at inception. The common stock was recorded to equity at fair value and was not subsequently revalued. The difference between the amount recorded at issuance and the original issuance price was being accreted using the effective interest method over the term of the Series G Preferred Stock. Accretion of Series G Preferred Stock was $0 and $7.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
Pursuant to the Series G Subscription Agreement, if, at any time while shares of Series G Preferred Stock remained outstanding, the Company issued securities (other than pursuant to the Company’s equity-based compensation plans) that resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $50.0 million (a “Series G Subsequent Transaction”), the Company was required to notify all holders of Series G Preferred Stock of the terms and conditions of such Series G Subsequent Transaction. Upon the consummation of the Series H and I Preferred Offering, the Company completed the required notification and, as described above, and pursuant to the Rollover Offering, all holders of Series G Preferred Stock converted their shares of Series G Preferred Stock into a number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock or Series I Preferred Stock (at the holder’s election) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate liquidation value of the outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock held by each holder by the stated value of $1,000 per share. Each holder retained all of the shares of common stock issued as part of the Series G Preferred Units. Upon this conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock, each share of Series G Preferred Stock was valued at its accrued value, which included the initial fair value plus any dividends accrued through the date of conversion.
Series G Preferred Stock Annual Cumulative Dividend
Each share of Series G Preferred Stock was entitled to an annual cumulative dividend of, (i) initially, 10.0%, (ii) commencing on November 17, 2012, 15.0%, and (iii) commencing on February 21, 2014, 18.0%, on the accrued value of such share. The dividend accrued daily and was scheduled to compound on (i) November 17, 2012 and, (ii) from and after November 17, 2012, December 31 and June 30 of each year.
The dividend was scheduled to accrue over the term of the Series G Preferred Stock on a weighted average rate based upon the applicable dividend rate over the term. On each dividend payment date subsequent to November 17, 2012, such dividend was required to be paid to each holder in cash semi-annually in arrears. The Company was only required to pay such dividend in cash to the extent that such payment would not result in an event of default under the Company’s (i) Wells Fargo ABL or (ii) Ares Loan Agreement. Any dividend that was scheduled to accrue on or after November 17, 2012, and was required to be paid in cash but was not actually paid in cash, was to continue to accrue and compound and be added to the accrued value of the Series G Preferred Stock.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $0 and $1.8 million of dividends expense on the Series G Preferred Stock, respectively.
NOTE 11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded expense of $238,000 related to restricted stock awards and $0 and $20,000, respectively, related to stock options issued to the Company’s directors. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded expense of $302,000 and $966,000, respectively, related to restricted stock awards and $11,000 and $129,000, respectively, related to stock options issued to the Company’s directors.
On January 2, 2013, Jeremy S. M. Cage was appointed Chief Executive Officer and the Company issued 500,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Cage as part of his compensation package. On March 22, 2013, the Company issued 192,308 shares of restricted stock to Brad Knight as part of his compensation package. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded expense of $49,000 and $119,000, respectively, related to the restricted stock awards issued to Messrs. Cage and Knight.

Warrants for the Purchase of Common Stock
On January 13, 2011, the Company issued a warrant (the “THD Warrant”) to The Home Depot, Inc. (“The Home Depot”) pursuant to which The Home Depot may purchase up to 5.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to certain vesting conditions. The THD Warrant was issued in connection with the Company’s Strategic Purchasing Agreement with The Home Depot, which it entered into on July 23, 2010 and pursuant to which it supplies The Home Depot with LED retrofit lamps and fixtures. The THD Warrant provided that 1.0 million shares of common stock would be eligible for vesting following each year ending December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2015, subject to The Home Depot having gross product orders from the Company, in dollar terms, that are at least 20% more than the gross product orders in the immediately preceding year. For the shares underlying the THD Warrant to be eligible for vesting following the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2015, The Home Depot would be required to extend the Strategic Purchasing Agreement for additional one-year periods beyond its initial term of three years. On August 12, 2013, the Company and The Home Depot entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Strategic Purchasing Agreement which, among other things, extended the term of the Agreement for an additional three years. As of May 25, 2012, as a result of the Series H and I Preferred Offering, the exercise price of the THD Warrants adjusted, pursuant to the terms of such warrants, from $2.00 to $1.95 per share of common stock. The number of shares of common stock into which the THD Warrants were exercisable also adjusted, pursuant to the terms of the warrant, from 5,000,000 to 5,123,715 shares. Each vested portion of the THD Warrant will expire on the third anniversary following the vesting of such portion.
As of September 30, 2013, the following warrants for the purchase of common stock were outstanding:

As of September 30, 2013, all warrants shown in the table above were fully vested and exercisable, except a portion of the THD Warrant, the Riverwood Warrants, the September 2012 Warrants and the Pegasus Warrant. As discussed above, 2,049,486 shares issuable pursuant to the THD Warrant vested during 2012 and 2011, when the product purchases for these periods satisfied the prescribed vesting conditions, and 3,074,229 shares remain subject to vesting in accordance with similar product purchasing terms. Pursuant to the terms of the Riverwood Warrants and the Pegasus Warrant, these were not exercisable as of September 30, 2013 because the aggregate fair market value of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (as determined in accordance with the terms of the Riverwood Warrants and the Pegasus Warrant) was less than $523.9 million (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Riverwood Warrants and the Pegasus Warrant). The September 2012 Warrants will become exercisable on October 9, 2015.
The fair value of the THD Warrant is determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method and will be adjusted at each reporting date until they have been earned for each year and these adjustments will be recorded as a reduction in the related revenue (sales incentive) from The Home Depot. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company determined that a portion of the THD Warrant was expected to vest during the period based on purchases made by The Home Depot during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and, accordingly, recorded (increase)/reductions in revenue of $9,000 and $23,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $(257,000) and $458,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
NOTE 12: EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Upon issuance of the LSGC Letter Agreement on January 17, 2012, the Company determined that two classes of common stock had been established for financial reporting purposes only, with common stock attributable to controlling
17
stockholders representing shares beneficially owned and controlled by Pegasus Capital and its affiliates and the common stock attributable to noncontrolling stockholders representing the minority interest stockholders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company computed net loss per share of noncontrolling stockholders and controlling stockholders common stock using the two-class method. Net loss from operations is initially allocated based on the underlying common shares held by controlling and noncontrolling stockholders. The allocation of the net losses attributable to the common stock attributable to controlling stockholders is then reduced by the amount of the deemed dividend related to the Repurchase Obligation, while the allocation of net losses attributable to the common stock attributable to noncontrolling stockholders is increased by the amount of the deemed dividend related to the Repurchase Obligation (See Note 13 for further discussion).
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock:

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except the number of shares is increased to assume exercise of potentially dilutive stock options, unvested restricted stock and contingently issuable shares using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred shares using the if-converted method, unless the effect of such increases would be anti-dilutive. The Company had 190.4 million and 111.1 million common stock equivalents for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 186.8 million and 53.0 million common stock equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which were not included in the diluted net loss per common share as the common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive, as a result of being in a net loss position.

NOTE 15. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE
In May 2012, the Company began implementing a new restructuring plan designed to build upon the restructuring plan initiated in the third quarter of 2011, to further increase efficiencies across the organization and lower its overall cost structure. This restructuring plan included a significant reduction in full time headcount in Mexico resulting from the Company’s continued shift of its manufacturing and production processes to the Company’s contract manufacturer in Mexico. The Company also replaced ten members of management in the United States, following the completion of the Series H and I Preferred Offering in May 2012.
On September 24, 2012, the Company’s board of directors committed to the Mexico Closing. As of September 30, 2013, the Mexico Closing is substantially complete. The Mexico Closing was expected to result in the termination of approximately 520 employees, of which all but 1 were terminated by September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had accrued expenses and charges related to the Mexico Closing of $1.7 million in severance and $1.7 million in non-cash asset impairment. The restructuring charges are included in the line item restructuring expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded $55,000 and $184,000, respectively, in restructuring expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for each period, of which $99,000 was related to termination of the lease on the Mexico manufacturing facility. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $2.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of costs as a result of severance and termination benefits.
In addition to the charges noted above, the Company expects to incur certain other charges in connection with the Mexico Closing. While the total estimate of these costs is not yet final, the Company currently expects to incur approximately $400,000 in expense with most of these remaining costs being incurred or accrued during the year ending December 31, 2013.
As of September 30, 2013, the accrued liability associated with the restructuring charges consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Workforce Reduction | | | Excess Facilities | | | Total | |
Accrued liability as of December 31, 2012 | | $ | 1,620,956 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,620,956 | |
Charges | | | — | | | | 99,004 | | | | 99,004 | |
Payments | | | (1,451,450 | ) | | | (99,004 | ) | | | (1,550,454 | ) |

Accrued liability as of September 30, 2013 | | $ | 169,506 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 169,506 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

The remaining restructuring expense accrual that had not been paid as of September 30, 2013 of $170,000 is expected to be paid by December 31, 2013.
NOTE 16. COMMITMENTSAND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to the possibility of loss contingencies arising in its business and such contingencies are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies.” In determining loss contingencies, the Company considers the possibility of a loss as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of such loss or liability. An estimated loss is recorded when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is routinely a defendant in or party to various pending and threatened legal claims and proceedings. The Company believes that any liability resulting from these various claims will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition; however, it is possible that extraordinary or unexpected legal fees could adversely impact our financial results during a particular period. During its ordinary course of business, the Company enters into obligations to defend, indemnify and/or hold harmless various customers, officers, directors, employees, and other third parties. These contractual obligations could give rise to additional litigation costs and involvement in court proceedings.
On June 22, 2012, Geveran Investments Limited (“Geveran”), a stockholder of the Company, filed a lawsuit against the Company and several others in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida. The action, styled Geveran Investments Limited v. Lighting Science Group Corp., et al., Case No. 12-17738 (07), names as defendants the Company; Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Pegasus”) and nine other entities affiliated with Pegasus; Richard Weinberg, a former director and former interim CEO of the Company and a former partner at Pegasus; Gregory Kaiser, a former CFO of the Company; J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC (“J.P. Morgan”); and two employees of J.P. Morgan. Geveran seeks rescission of its $25.0 million investment in the Company, as well as recovery of attorneys’ fees and court costs, jointly and severally against the Company, Pegasus, Mr. Weinberg, Mr. Kaiser, J.P. Morgan and the two J.P. Morgan employees, for alleged violation of Florida securities laws. Geveran alternatively seeks unspecified money damages, as well as recovery of court costs, for alleged common law negligent misrepresentation against these same defendants. In July 2013, following the court’s partial grant of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Complaint for More Definite Statement, Geveran served its First Amended Complaint, which adds three new claims for intentional torts.
The Company has retained counsel, denies liability in connection with this matter, and intends to continue to vigorously defend against the claims asserted by Geveran. While the case is in its early stages and the outcome of any litigation is inherently difficult to predict, the Company currently believes that it has strong defenses against Geveran’s claims of rescission, that a grant of the remedy of rescission is unlikely and the amount of possible loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The outcome, if unfavorable, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
On August 3, 2012, the Company and its co-defendants filed a motion to transfer this lawsuit from Broward County to the Circuit Court of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Brevard County, Florida. On October 30, 2012, the court entered an order transferring the lawsuit to the Ninth Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida. In September 2013, that order was affirmed by the Fourth District Court of Appeals. The litigation is now proceeding in Orange County (Case No. 2012-CA-020121-O).
The Company believes that, subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant policies (including retention and policy limits), directors and officers insurance coverage will be available to cover nearly all of the Company’s legal fees and costs in this matter. However, given the unspecified nature of Geveran’s maximum damage claims, insurance coverage may not be available for, or such coverage may not be sufficient to fully pay, a judgment or settlement in favor of Geveran. The Company has also paid a portion of the legal fees incurred by J.P. Morgan and its affiliates in this lawsuit in connection with the engagement of J.P. Morgan as placement agent for the Company’s private placement with Geveran, and expects to pay, in the future, the reasonable legal fees incurred by J.P. Morgan in this case. Such payments are not covered by the Company’s insurance coverage and have been substantial. The engagement letter executed with J.P. Morgan provides that the Company will indemnify J.P. Morgan and its affiliates from liabilities relating to J.P. Morgan’s activities as placement agent, unless such activities are finally judicially determined to have resulted from J.P. Morgan’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
During October 2011, the Company was notified of a contract dispute between LSGBV, the Company’s subsidiary in the Netherlands, and one of its distributors in which the distributor is seeking monetary damages of approximately $1.2 million. Arbitration was held before the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), in The Hague, in January 2013, and a decision is expected to be rendered in the near future, following the completion of a report by an ICC appointed economics expert. The Company estimates a loss of up to $300,000 in connection with this matter, and has provided a reserve for this amount in its financial statements.

NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 15, 2013, the board of directors approved the dissolution of LSGBV and LSIPL as part of the Company’s efforts to reduce its cost structure and preserve cash flow.

Company Overview
We design, develop, manufacture and market general illumination products that exclusively use light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) as their light source. Our product portfolio includes LED-based retrofit lamps (replacement bulbs) that can be used in existing light fixtures and sockets as well as purpose built LED-based luminaires (fixtures) for many common indoor and outdoor residential, commercial, industrial and public infrastructure lighting applications.
Our strategic plan for the next three fiscal years consists of seeking to create strong digital lighting brands in the consumer, residential, commercial and industrial markets. We believe that developing relevant and differentiated brands will deliver strong financial returns and a more loyal user base that is less price sensitive. We intend to continue to focus on developing breakthrough innovation and on becoming a market maker in targeted high value-added, high-margin segments within the lighting market. We also intend to continue to implement a nimble and agile “go-to-market” business model and manufacturing and product development system to streamline the processes used in introducing new products. Finally, we plan to reduce our cost structure, preserve cash flow and strengthen liquidity to enhance our financial position.
Over the past few years, we have focused on expanding and optimizing our global supply chain to meet expected demand for our products while addressing the inefficiencies that have negatively impacted our gross margin and overall financial performance in prior periods. We anticipate long-term gross margin improvement as we continue to execute on our initiatives. One of the most critical initiatives is the transition of manufacturing our high volume, low mix lamps from Mexico and Satellite Beach to China – the source of the majority of our components. We began the manufacturing transition in the third quarter of 2013, and expect this to be fully completed during the first half of 2014. We anticipate these actions will result in improved gross margins, as well as a more optimized production and supplier footprint in future periods.
We continue to focus on increasing our brand awareness and improving our product promotion through prominent displays at our retailers and by conducting high visibility national media promotions with our key customers. In October 2013, we launched our Definity Digital Brand. The Definity Digital GoodNight Light and the Definity Digital Awake&Alert light are the world’s first biologically corrected lights. Traditional lights have a high level of blue light that sends signals to the brain that it is still daytime, so it suppresses melatonin and disrupts the sleep cycle. The GoodNight light has a patented spectral filter that greatly reduces blue light and supports the body’s natural melatonin production. The Awake&Alert light has a blue enriched spectrum to naturally enhance the body’s energy and alertness. We continue to work with major media outlets, grant interviews and work with key consumer influencers to gain greater visibility for the brand. We have recently been featured in Men’s Health magazine, Wall Street Journal online, ABC newswire and other prominent national and local news affiliates.

Financial Results
The following table sets forth our revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |

Gross profit | | $ | (5,309,971 | ) | | $ | (475,431 | ) | | $ | (3,047,934 | ) | | $ | (16,820,714 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
GAAP gross profit percentage | | | -24.2 | % | | | -1.5 | % | | | -4.9 | % | | | -16.6 | % |
Our revenue is primarily derived from sales of our LED-based retrofit lamps and luminaires. We experienced a decrease in sales of $10.1 million and $39.1 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, which primarily reflected the loss of Osram Sylvania as a customer in late 2012 and a reduction in sales to The Home Depot in the first nine months of 2013. We had no sales to Osram Sylvania during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $6.2 million and $21.9 million in sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. In addition, we experienced a $3.0 million and $18.5 million decrease in sales to The Home Depot for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, resulting from its decision not to carry our fixture product line in 2013, which represented $3.1 million and $9.5 million of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, with the balance of the decrease during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulting from lower sales of our lamp products to The Home Depot. This reduction was primarily due to a decrease in The Home Depot’s targeted inventory levels.
Although we concluded our relationship with Osram Sylvania in late 2012, we continue to pursue new relationships with OEMs and retail stores to help increase sales. In addition, we have significantly increased the roster of distributors and independent sales agents that sell our products and added experienced professionals to our direct sales force to increase the frequency and impact of our activities with key national accounts that are targets for potential adoption of LED lighting.
Our financial results are dependent upon the mix and quantity of products sold, the operating costs associated with our supply chain, including materials, labor and freight, and the level of sales, distribution and administrative, research and development and other operating expense. We continuously seek to improve our products and to bring new products to market. As a result, many of our products have short life cycles and therefore, product life cycle planning is critical. At times we may purchase excess components and other materials used in the manufacture and assembly of our products or we may manufacture finished products in excess of demand. In addition, components, materials and products may become obsolete earlier than expected. These circumstances can lead to inventory valuation allowances and provisions for expected losses on non-cancellable purchase commitments. When these circumstances are present, we may also incur additional expense as we adjust our supply chain and product life-cycle planning.
Our gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was negatively affected primarily by a $5.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, inventory valuation allowance and a provision for expected losses on non-cancelable purchase commitments of $1.9 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. In addition, our gross margin was affected by the mix of products sold and the impact of a price increase imposed on us by our contract manufacturer in Mexico effective March 2013. We are in the process of transitioning our manufacturing operations to lower cost manufacturers in China, however we expect that the impact of the price increase will continue through the remainder of 2013. Our gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, was negatively affected primarily by a $785,000 and $3.4 million provision for expected losses on non-cancelable purchase commitments, respectively, due to the restructuring of our product lines, an inventory valuation allowance of $3.1 million and $15.4 million, respectively, and identified manufacturing inefficiencies costing us $6.3 million and $7.8 million, respectively, which were not repeated in the current year.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Although our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to the assessment of our operating performance and trends. As part of our ongoing review of financial information related to our business, we regularly use non-GAAP measures, in particular, non-GAAP adjusted gross margin and non-GAAP adjusted operating expense as a percentage of revenue, as we believe they provide a meaningful insight into our business and useful information with respect to the results of our operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, the comparable GAAP financial measures and are intended to supplement our financial results that are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The adjusted presentation below is used by management to measure our business performance and provides useful information regarding the trend in gross margin percentage based on revenue from sales of our products to customers. Excluding non-cash expense for stock based compensation, restructuring expense, impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets and depreciation and amortization, total operating expense decreased by 31.0% and 18.9%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 while revenue decreased 31.5% and 38.7%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Total non-GAAP operating expense represented 57.4% and 65.9% of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 47.4% and 46.6%, respectively, of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the increase in non-GAAP adjusted operating expense as a percentage of adjusted revenue was due primarily to the decrease in revenue.

LED Lighting Industry Trends
There are a number of industry factors that affect our business and results of operations including, among others:
| • | | Rate and extent of adoption of LED lighting products. Our potential for growth will be driven by the rate and extent of adoption of LED lighting within the general illumination market and our ability to affect this rate of adoption. Although LED lighting is relatively new and faces significant challenges before achieving widespread adoption, it has grown in recent years. Innovations and advancements in LED lighting technology that improve product performance and reduce product cost continue to enhance the value proposition of LED lighting for general illumination and expand its potential commercial applications. |
| • | | External legislation and subsidy programs concerning energy efficiency. The United States and many countries in the European Union and elsewhere, among others, have already instituted, or have announced plans to institute, government regulations and programs designed to encourage or mandate increased energy efficiency in lighting. These actions include in certain cases banning the sale after specified dates of certain forms of incandescent lighting, which is advancing the adoption of more energy efficient lighting solutions |
25
| such as LEDs. In addition, the growing demand for electricity is increasingly driving utilities and governmental agencies to provide financial incentives such as rebates for energy efficient lighting technologies in an effort to mitigate the need for investments in new electrical generation capacity. |
| • | | Intellectual property. LED market participants rely on patented and non-patented proprietary information relating to product development, manufacturing capabilities and other core competencies of their business. Protection and licensing of intellectual property is critical. Therefore, LED lighting industry participants often take steps such as additional patent applications, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements as well as other security measures. To enforce or protect intellectual property rights, market participants commonly commence or threaten litigation. |
| • | | Intense and constantly evolving competitive environment.Competition in the LED lighting market is intense. Many companies have made significant investments in LED lighting development and production equipment. Traditional lighting companies and new entrants are investing in LED based lighting products as LED adoption has gained momentum. Product pricing pressures is significant and market participants often undertake pricing strategies to gain or protect market share, enhance sales of their previously manufactured products and open new applications to LED based lighting solutions. To remain competitive, market participants must continuously increase product performance and reduce costs. |
Recent Events
On October 15, 2013, the board of directors approved the dissolution of Lighting Science Group B.V. (“LSGBV”), our subsidiary in the Netherlands and Lighting Science India Private Limited (“LSIPL”), our subsidiary in India, as part of our efforts to reduce our cost structure and preserve cash flow.
On October 16, 2013, we completed a preemptive rights offering of our shares of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), to holders of shares of our Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H Preferred Stock”) and Series I Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series I Preferred Stock”), and their permitted assignees (the “Preemptive Rights Offering”). The Preemptive Rights Offering was initiated in conjunction with our September 2013 offering of shares of Series J Preferred Stock to affiliates of Riverwood Capital and Pegasus Capital (described below). Pursuant to the Preemptive Rights Offering, we issued an aggregate of 1,449 shares of Series J Preferred Stock at a price per share of $1,000 (the “Stated Value”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.4 million. Pursuant to the Series J Subscription Agreement (described below), Pegasus is obligated to purchase 1,157 shares of Series J Preferred Stock on or before November 19, 2013 at the Stated Value, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.2 million.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and consolidated results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based upon historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.
A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: (i) we are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and (ii) different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known.
We believe that our critical accounting policies relate to our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 contains a discussion of these critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2012. See also Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as set forth herein.

Revenue
Revenue decreased $10.1 million, or 31.5%, to $22.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $32.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the loss of Osram Sylvania as a customer in late 2012 and a reduction in sales to The Home Depot in the current period. We had no sales to Osram Sylvania during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $6.2 million in sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, we experienced a $3.0 million decrease in sales to The Home Depot for the three months ended September 30, 2013 resulting from its decision to not carry our fixture product line since the beginning of 2013, which line had represented $3.1 million of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012, with the balance of the change resulting from an increase in sales of our lamp products to The Home Depot during the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold decreased $5.3 million, or 16.2%, to $27.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $32.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in cost of goods sold was partially due to the corresponding decrease in sales during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was partially offset by a $5.1 million inventory valuation allowance and a $1.9 million provision for expected losses on non-cancelable purchase commitments for the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, cost of goods sold included a $3.1 million inventory valuation allowance and a $785,000 provision for expected losses on non-cancelable purchase commitments.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to 124.2% (or negative gross margin of 24.2%) as compared to 101.5% (or negative gross margin of 1.5%) for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of the inventory valuation allowance and the provision for expected losses on non-cancelable purchase commitments recorded in 2013 and 2012 and discussed more fully in the Section of this Form 10-Q entitled Non-GAAP Financial Measures, our non-GAAP gross margin was 7.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a non-GAAP gross margin of 10.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. See our reconciliation of the non-GAAP gross margin measurements to the GAAP gross margin measurements on page 25.
27
Selling, Distribution and Administrative
Selling, distribution and administrative expense decreased $3.9 million, or 24.9%, to $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $15.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, but increased as a percentage of revenue to 53.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 48.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in selling, distribution and administrative expense was primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in personnel related costs, a $603,000 decrease in legal fees, a $643,000 decrease related to the closing of our facilities in Mexico, Australia and the United Kingdom and a $448,000 decrease in consulting fees,.
Research and Development
Research and development expense increased $144,000, or 5.8%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and increased as a percentage of revenue to 12.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 7.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in research and development expense was primarily due to a $133,000 increase in tooling and setup expense related to the development of new products.
Restructuring Expense
Restructuring expense decreased $3.9 million to $55,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Restructuring expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013, consisted of miscellaneous costs incurred in closing our Mexico manufacturing facility. Restructuring expense of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, consisted of $2.2 million of severance and termination benefits related to announced additional headcount reductions in connection with the closing of our Mexico manufacturing facility and $1.7 million for the write down of leasehold improvements, tooling, production and test equipment in our Mexico plant.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Long-lived Assets
As of September 30, 2012, we performed an impairment analysis to determine whether our intangible assets were impaired. Following our analysis of our amortizable intangible assets related to LSGBV, we determined that certain patents, trademarks, license agreements and customer relationships were impaired. This review included an assessment of cash flow projections, among other factors. The following table summarizes the total impairment charge recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2012:
| | | | |
Patents acquired on the acquisition of LSGBV | | $ | 15,984 | |
Trademarks acquired on the acquisition of LSGBV | | | 19,541 | |
License agreements acquired on the acquisition of LSGBV | | | 44,923 | |
Customer relationships acquired on the acquisition of LSGBV | | | 299,089 | |
| | | | |
Total impairment charge | | $ | 379,537 | |
| | | | |
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $349,000, or 15.5%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily a result of the purchase of manufacturing equipment and tooling and molds during 2012 and the first nine months of 2013.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $85,000, or 7.2%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was due primarily to the outstanding borrowings on our asset based revolving credit facility (the “Wells Fargo ABL”), which we originally entered into in November 2010 with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), which is supported by the Second Lien Letter of Credit Facility (the “Ares Letter of Credit Facility”), dated as of September 20, 2011, pledged in favor of Wells Fargo by or for Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares Capital”) for our benefit and consisted of $653,000 of interest related to the Ares Letter of Credit Facility and $444,000 of interest expense and fees related to the Wells Fargo ABL. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 consisted primarily of $687,000 of interest related to the Ares Letter of Credit Facility, $491,000 of interest expense and fees related to the Wells Fargo ABL and $3,000 of interest expense related to the debt facilities of LSGBV.

(Increase) Decrease in Fair Value of Liabilities under Derivative Contracts
On May 25, 2012, we issued shares of our Series H Convertible Preferred Stock to RW LSG Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Riverwood LSG Management Holdings LLC and Riverwood Capital Partners L.P. (collectively with their affiliates, “Riverwood”), and certain other purchasers and issued a warrant to Riverwood (the “Riverwood Warrant”). The Riverwood Warrant was accounted for as a liability and its fair value was determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method. The fair value of the outstanding Riverwood Warrants increased by $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to the value of the Series J Preferred Stock issued in September 2013, the change in the conversion rate of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock and Series I Convertible Preferred Stock from $1.18 to $0.95 per share as part of the Series J Preferred Offering and an increase in the trading price of our common stock during the period. The fair value of the outstanding Riverwood Warrants decreased by $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in the price of our common stock during the period.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net increased $68,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to net income of $49,000 from net expense of $19,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 consisted primarily of $37,000 of miscellaneous income and $19,000 of foreign exchange gain, partially offset by $6,000 in miscellaneous finance charges. Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 consisted primarily of $39,000 in miscellaneous expense, $23,000 in late payment fees and a $19,000 foreign exchange loss.

Revenue
Revenue decreased $39.1 million, or 38.7%, to $61.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $101.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in revenue was primarily a result of the loss of Osram Sylvania as a customer in late 2012 and a reduction in sales to The Home Depot in the current period. We had no sales to Osram Sylvania during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $21.9 million in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, we experienced an $18.5 million decrease in sales to The Home Depot for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulting from its decision to not carry our fixture product line at the beginning of 2013, which had represented $9.5 million of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, with the balance of the decrease resulting from lower sales of our lamp products to The Home Depot. The reduction in sales of our lamp products was primarily due to a decrease in The Home Depot’s targeted inventory levels. The decrease in revenue for both Osram Sylvania and The Home Depot was partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million in revenue from other customers.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold decreased $52.9 million, or 44.9%, to $65.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $117.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in cost of goods sold was partially
29
due to the corresponding decrease in sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as well as improved manufacturing efficiencies in the current year. The decrease was partially offset by a $5.7 million inventory valuation allowance and a $1.9 million provision for expected losses on non-cancelable purchase commitments for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cost of goods sold included a $15.4 million inventory valuation allowance and a $3.4 million provision for expected losses on non-cancelable purchase commitments.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to 104.9% (or negative gross margin of 4.9%) as compared to 116.6% (or negative gross margin of 16.6%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of the inventory valuation allowance and the provision for expected losses on non-cancelable purchase commitments, our non-GAAP gross margin was 7.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a non-GAAP gross margin of 2.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. See our reconciliation of the non-GAAP gross margin measurements on page 25.
Selling, Distribution and Administrative
Selling, distribution and administrative expense decreased $7.1 million, or 15.7%, to $38.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $45.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, but increased as a percentage of revenue to 61.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 44.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in selling, distribution and administrative expense was primarily due to a $3.0 million decrease in personnel related expenses, a $1.8 million decrease in consulting fees, a $2.8 million decrease due to the closing of our facilities in Mexico, Australia and the United Kingdom and a $1.4 million decrease in freight and logistics resulting primarily from the decrease in revenue. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in legal fees due primarily to our defense of the Geveran litigation and on-going patent related issues.
Research and Development
Research and development expense increased $403,000, or 5.5%, to $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and increased as a percentage of revenue to 12.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 7.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in research and development expense was primarily due to a $376,000 increase in personnel costs as we continue to invest in our innovation pipeline.
Restructuring Expense
Restructuring expense decreased $5.6 million to $184,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Restructuring expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of $99,000 related to the termination of our lease in Mexico and $85,000 for miscellaneous costs incurred in closing both our Mexico and Australia entities. Restructuring expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted of $4.1 million in severance and termination benefits related to the significant headcount reductions in Mexico in May 2012 and announced additional headcount reductions in Mexico in September 2012, primarily related to the planned transition of production work to our contract manufacturer in Mexico and the replacement of ten members of management in the United States in conjunction with the completion of the Series H and I Preferred Stock Offering. In addition, we recorded a $1.7 million expense for the write down of leasehold improvements, tooling, production and test equipment in our Mexico plant.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Long-lived Assets
As of September 30, 2012, we performed an impairment analysis to determine whether our intangible assets were impaired. Following our analysis of our amortizable intangible assets related to LSGBV we determined that certain patents, trademarks, license agreements and customer relationships were impaired. This review included an assessment of cash flow projections, among other factors. The following table summarizes the total impairment charge recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:
| | | | |
Patents acquired on the acquisition of LSGBV | | $ | 15,984 | |
Trademarks acquired on the acquisition of LSGBV | | | 19,541 | |
License agreements acquired on the acquisition of LSGBV | | | 44,923 | |
Customer relationships acquired on the acquisition of LSGBV | | | 299,089 | |
| | | | |
Total impairment charge | | $ | 379,537 | |

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $322,000 or 4.9% to $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily a result of the purchase of manufacturing equipment and tooling and molds during 2012 and the first nine months of 2013
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 26.6%, to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the decrease in interest related to the issuance of the Series G Preferred Units in 2012, which were converted into shares of our Series H Convertible Preferred Stock and Series I Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with the Series H and I Preferred Offering on May 25, 2012. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted primarily of $2.0 million of interest related to the Ares Letter of Credit Facility and $937,000 of interest expense and fees related to the Wells Fargo ABL. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted primarily of $2.1 million of interest related to the Ares Letter of Credit Facility, $1.4 million of interest expense and fees related to the Wells Fargo ABL, $316,000 of prepaid financing fees related to the Series G Preferred Units, $250,000 of prepaid financing fees paid to Pegasus IV related to the Series G Preferred Units and $11,000 of interest expense related to the debt facilities of LSGBV.
Decrease in Fair Value of Liabilities under Derivative Contracts
On May 25, 2012, in connection with the Series H and I Preferred Offering, we issued the Riverwood Warrants. The Riverwood Warrants were accounted for as a liability and the fair value was determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method. The fair value of the Riverwood Warrants decreased by $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to a decrease in the trading price of our common stock during this period. The fair value of the outstanding Riverwood Warrants decreased by $2.7 million for the period from May 25, 2012, the initial issuance date of the Riverwood Warrants, through September 30, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in the price of our common stock during this period.
Dividends on Preferred Stock
Dividends on preferred stock of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted of dividends incurred on our then outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock, which were initially issued on November 17, 2011. All of the outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock were converted into shares of our Series H Convertible Preferred Stock and Series I Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with the Series H and I Preferred Offering on May 25, 2012, which do not accrue dividends.
Accretion of Preferred Stock
Accretion of preferred stock consisted of $7.5 million of accretion expense incurred on the outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. All of the outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock were converted into shares of our Series H Convertible Preferred Stock and Series I Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with the Series H and I Preferred Offering on May 25, 2012.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net decreased $107,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to net expense of $35,000 from net expense of $143,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted primarily of a $51,000 foreign exchange loss and $54,000 in late payment fees, partially offset by $69,000 of miscellaneous income. Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted primarily of $94,000 in late payment fees and a $33,000 foreign exchange loss, partially offset by $16,000 of miscellaneous income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We continue to experience significant net losses as well as negative cash flows from operations. Our cash expenditures primarily relate to procurement of inventory and payment of salaries, benefits and other operating costs, as well as our purchase of production equipment and other capital investments. Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been borrowings from Wells Fargo and sales of common stock and preferred stock to, and short-term loans from, affiliates of Pegasus Advisors, L.P., or Pegasus Capital, including Pegasus IV, LSGC Holdings, LLC, or LSGC Holdings, Holdings II and PCA LSG Holdings, LLC, or PCA Holdings.
31
As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.3 million and an additional $5.0 million of cash subject to restriction under the terms of the Wells Fargo ABL. In addition, our Wells Fargo ABL provided us with borrowing capacity of up to a maximum of $50.0 million, which capacity is equal to the sum of (i) 85% of our eligible accounts receivable plus up to $7.5 million of eligible inventory, less certain reserves established against such accounts receivable and inventory by Wells Fargo from time to time pursuant to the Wells Fargo ABL, plus (ii) unrestricted cash held in a Wells Fargo deposit account (“Qualified Cash”), plus (iii) the amount of the Ares Letter of Credit Facility for the benefit of the Company (collectively, the “Borrowing Base”). We are at all times required to maintain (i) a Borrowing Base that exceeds the amount of our outstanding borrowings under the Wells Fargo ABL by at least $5.0 million and (ii) $5.0 million in Qualified Cash. We would be required to comply with certain specified EBITDA requirements in the event that we have less than $2.0 million available for borrowing under the Wells Fargo ABL. As of September 30, 2013, we had $30.5 million outstanding under the Wells Fargo ABL and additional borrowing capacity of $14.1 million.
On September 11, 2013, we entered into a preferred stock subscription agreement (the “Series J Subscription Agreement”) with RW LSG Holdings LLC, (“Riverwood Holdings”), PCA Holdings and Holdings II, pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 17,394 shares of our Series J Convertible Preferred Stock at the Stated Value for aggregate gross proceeds of $17.4 million (the “Series J Offering”). We issued 12,500, 2,500 and 2,394 shares of Series J Preferred Stock to Holdings II, PCA Holdings and Riverwood Holdings, respectively. Pursuant to the Series J Subscription Agreement, Pegasus committed to purchase additional shares of Series J Preferred Stock if we did not issue at least 20,000 shares of Series J Preferred Stock after completion of the Series J Offering and the Preemptive Rights Offering. After completion of such offerings, we have issued an aggregate of 18,843 shares of Series J Preferred Stock and Pegasus is obligated to purchase 1,157 shares of Series J Preferred Stock on or before November 19, 2013 at the Stated Value, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.2 million.
In an effort to further strengthen our balance sheet and provide liquidity to meet the cash flow needs for the next twelve months, we intend to seek additional sources of liquidity and to continue to implement cost control measures. We may not have access to sources of liquidity in an amount and on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain sufficient capital when needed, our business, compliance with our credit facility and future prospects will be adversely affected.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
Cash flow activities: | | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Net cash used in operating activities | | $ | (49,779,859 | ) | | $ | (49,442,736 | ) |
Net cash used in investing activities | | | (1,692,471 | ) | | | (5,419,851 | ) |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | | 45,880,024 | | | | 72,267,517 | |
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities is net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities was $49.8 million and $49.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included certain non-cash reconciliation items comprised primarily of $6.9 million in depreciation and amortization, $5.7 million inventory valuation allowance, $5.1 million of stock-based compensation expense and $1.9 million provision for losses on non-cancelable purchase commitments, offset by the $1.4 million decrease in fair value of warrants. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included certain non-cash reconciliation items comprised primarily of a $15.4 million inventory valuation allowance, $7.5 million accretion on preferred stock , $6.6 million in depreciation and amortization, $5.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, a $3.4 million provision for expected losses on non-cancelable purchase commitments, $1.8 million in dividends on preferred stock and a $458,000 reduction in revenue for the fair value of the portion of the THD Warrant expected to vest during 2012.
Net cash used in operating activities increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to changes in working capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, inventories increased by $8.3 million, accounts payable decreased $4.5 million and accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $2.6 million. These cash uses were partially offset by a $3.0 million decrease in accounts receivable and an $874,000 decrease in prepaid expenses.
32
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities primarily relates to the purchase of property and equipment and our investment in intellectual property and patents. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million and $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in our capital expenditures for property and equipment as part of our efforts to control costs.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities has historically been composed of net proceeds from various debt facilities and the issuance of common and preferred stock. Net cash provided by financing activities was $45.9 million and $72.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was comprised primarily of $29.0 million in net borrowings on the Wells Fargo ABL and net proceeds of $16.8 million from the issuance of Series J Preferred Stock.
