The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Stones River Companies, LLC (“SRC”) doing business as Energy Focus LED Solutions in Nashville, Tennessee, and Crescent Lighting Limited (“CLL”) located in the United Kingdom. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. | |||||||||||||||||
We have prepared the accompanying financial data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying financial data and information should be read in conjunction with our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | |||||||||||||||||
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the company in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. Estimates include, but are not limited to, the establishment of reserves for accounts receivable, sales returns, inventory obsolescence and warranty claims; the useful lives for property, equipment, and intangible assets; revenues recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis; and stock-based compensation. In addition, estimates and assumptions associated with the evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment requires considerable judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion in connection with the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern. | |||||||||||||||||
Update to Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||||||||||
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
Earnings (Loss) per Share | |||||||||||||||||
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental shares upon exercise of stock options, warrants, and conversion of convertible subordinated promissory notes unless the effect would be anti-dilutive. | |||||||||||||||||

Product Warranties | |||||||||||||||||
The Company warrants finished goods against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for periods generally between one and five years for products and labor. Settlement costs consist of actual amounts expensed for warranty services which are largely a result of third-party service calls and the costs of replacement products.

Credit Facilities | |||||||||
On December 22, 2011, the Company entered into a $4.5 million revolving line of credit (“credit facility”) with Rosenthal & Rosenthal. The total loan amount available to the Company under the line of credit is equal to 85% of its net amount of eligible receivables, plus available inventory (the lesser of 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible inventory, or $250 thousand). The credit facility is secured by a lien on the domestic assets of the Company. The interest rate for borrowing on accounts receivable is 8.5%, on inventories 10.0% and on overdrafts 13.0%. Additionally, there is an annual 1% facility fee on the entire amount of the credit facility payable at the beginning of the year. The credit facility is a three year agreement, expiring on December 31, 2014, unless terminated sooner. There are liquidated damages if the credit facility is terminated prior to December 31, 2014, which are based on the maximum credit facility amount then in effect. The damages are: 2% if terminated prior to December 31, 2013, and 1% if terminated prior to December 31, 2014. The Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants, measured quarterly, including, as defined in the agreement: a tangible net worth amount and a working capital amount. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants at September 30, 2013. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit were $836 thousand at September 30, 2013, and $1.6 million at December 31, 2012, and are recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a current liability under the caption “Credit line borrowings.” | |||||||||

NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES | |
At September 30, 2013, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in the United States, due to uncertainties related to the Company’s ability to utilize its deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of certain net operating losses carried forward. The valuation allowance is based upon the Company’s estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction and the period over which its deferred tax assets will be recoverable. | |
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $70.7 million for federal, state and local income tax purposes. Due to changes in the Company’s capital structure, the net operating loss carry-forward available to the Company in future years to offset future taxable liabilities may be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Management is currently reviewing the rules under this section of the Code, but believes that the limitation on the Company’s net operating loss carry-forward may be significant. |

We have prepared the accompanying financial data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying financial data and information should be read in conjunction with our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | |
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. | |
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the company in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. Estimates include, but are not limited to, the establishment of reserves for accounts receivable, sales returns, inventory obsolescence and warranty claims; the useful lives for property, equipment, and intangible assets; revenues recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis; and stock-based compensation. In addition, estimates and assumptions associated with the evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment requires considerable judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. | |
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion in connection with the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern. | |
