NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Energy Focus, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) engage in the design, development,
manufacturing, marketing, and installation of energy-efficient lighting systems and solutions where
the Company serves two segments:
| product-based sales providing military, general commercial and industrial lighting and pool lighting offerings, each of which markets and sells energy-efficient lighting systems; and |
| solutions-based sales providing turnkey, high-quality, energy-efficient lighting application alternatives primarily to the existing public-sector building market. |
The Company continues to evolve its business strategy to include providing its customers with
turnkey, comprehensive energy-efficient lighting solutions, which use, but are not limited to, its
patented and proprietary technology. Company product-based solutions include light-emitting diode
(LED), fiber optic, high-intensity discharge (HID), fluorescent tube and other highly
energy-efficient lighting technologies. Typical savings related to the current technology of the
Company approximates 80% in electricity costs, while providing full-spectrum light closely
simulating daylight colors. The Companys strategy also incorporates continued investment into the
research of new and emerging energy sources including, but not limited to, LED and solar energy
applications.
The Companys development of solar technology continues through its role in the United States
Governments Very High Efficiency Solar Cell (VHESC) Consortium sponsored by the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The goal of the VHESC project is to develop a 40% or greater
efficient solar cell for United States military applications, which would also ultimately become
available to the public for commercial application.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies of the Company, which are summarized below, are consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles and reflect practices appropriate to the business in which
it operates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
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 determination
of fair value of financial instruments and evaluation of goodwill and long-lived assets for
impairment requires considerable judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates and
such differences could be material.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified within the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (financial statements), and related notes thereto, to be consistent with the current
year presentation.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Stones River
Companies, LLC (SRC) in Nashville, Tennessee, and Crescent Lighting Limited (CLL) located in
the United Kingdom. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)
Although unaudited, the interim financial statements in this report reflect all adjustments,
consisting only of all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the
interim periods covered and of the financial condition of the Company at the interim balance sheet
date. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results expected for the entire year.

The accompanying 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
the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Year-end Balance Sheet
The year-end balance sheet information was derived from audited financial statements but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are contained in the Companys 2010 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revisions to the accounting
guidance related to troubled debt restructuring. This new guidance is effective for the first
interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively
to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of this new guidance did not have
a material effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial
position.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys international subsidiary uses its local currency as its functional currency. Assets
and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and
expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Resulting translation
adjustments are recorded directly to Accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders
equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included as a component of Other income
(expense). Gains and losses from foreign currency translation are included as a separate
component of Other comprehensive loss within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Liquidity
Historically, the Company has incurred losses attributable to operational performance which have
negatively impacted cash flows. Although management continues to address many of the legacy issues
that have historically burdened the Companys financial performance, the Company still faces
challenges in order to reach profitability. In order for the Company to attain profitability and
growth, the Company will need to successfully address these challenges, including the continuation
of cost reductions throughout the organization, execution of its marketing and sales plans for the
Companys turnkey energy-efficient lighting solutions business, the development of new technologies
into sustainable product lines and continued improvements in supply chain performance.
The Company is optimistic about obtaining the funding necessary to meet on-going tactical and
strategic capital requirements. However, there can be no assurances that this objective will be
successful. As such, the Company will continue to review and pursue selected external funding
sources, if necessary, to execute these objectives including the following:
| obtain financing from traditional and non-traditional investment capital organizations or individuals, |
| potential sale or divestiture of one or more operating units, and |
| obtain funding from the sale of common stock or other equity or debt instruments. |
Obtaining financing through the above-mentioned mechanisms contains risks, including:
| loans or other debt instruments may have terms and/or conditions, such as interest rate, restrictive covenants, and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to management or the Board of Directors, |
| the current economic environment combined with the Companys capital constraints may prevent the Company from being able to obtain any debt financing, | ||
| financing may not be available for parties interested in pursuing the acquisition of one or more operating units of the Company, and |
| additional equity financing may not be available in the current economic environment and could lead to further dilution of shareholder value for current shareholders of record. |

Retainage Receivable
The Companys solutions-based sales are normally subject to a holdback of a percentage of the sale
as retainage. This holdback is recorded on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as
Retainage receivable. Retainage is a portion of the total bid price of a project that is held
back by the customer until the project is complete and functioning satisfactorily according to the
contract terms. Retainage percentages typically range from 5% to 10% and are collected anywhere
from three to eighteen months from the inception of the project.
Collateralized Assets
The Company maintains $2,000,000 of cash collateral related to the Companys $10,000,000 surety
bonding program associated with SRC. This cash is pledged to the surety carrier through December
2011, unless the Company is able to provide sufficient alternative means of collateralization
satisfactory to the surety carrier.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing 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 and warrants, unless the effect would be anti-dilutive.
A reconciliation of basic and diluted loss per share is provided as follows (in thousands, except
per share amounts):

At June 30, 2011 and 2010, options and warrants to purchase 5,254,000 and 6,403,000 shares of
common stock, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the calculation of diluted
net loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Companys stock-based compensation plan is described in detail in its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The following table summarizes the Companys

Total unearned compensation of $446,000 related to stock options remains at June 30, 2011 compared
to $1,270,000 at June 30, 2010. These costs will be charged to expense, amortized on a straight
line basis, in future periods through the first quarter of 2015. The weighted average period over
which this unearned compensation is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.3 years.
The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. Estimates utilized in the calculation include the expected life of option,
risk-free interest rate, and expected volatility, and are further comparatively detailed as

At the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (Annual Meeting) held on June 16, 2010, the
shareholders approved an increase in the total number of shares of common stock that may be awarded
under the 2008 Incentive Stock Plan from 1,000,000 shares to 3,000,000 shares. Under this plan,
the Company granted 615,000 stock options through the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 960,000
during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Of the 960,000 stock options granted in 2010, 900,000
were performance-based stock options exercisable by the grantees if, and only if, the Company
achieved required revenue and cash-flow generation targets as reported in the Companys 2010 Form
10-K. The Companys performance in 2010 did not meet most of these established performance goals
and, consequently, 850,000 of these performance-based stock options were cancelled on April 1,
2011.
In the third quarter of 2010, the Board of Directors approved a program offering the independent
Directors of the Company the option of accepting restricted shares of the Companys common stock in
lieu of quarterly cash compensation. Directors who chose to participate and accept restricted
shares in lieu of cash compensation would receive the equivalent of two dollars ($2.00) of Company
common stock for every one dollar ($1.00) of their normal cash compensation. Directors that chose
to accept this program agreed to receive restricted shares as compensation for four consecutive
quarters, covering the period of July 2010 until June 2011 with the aforementioned common stock
vesting over an equivalent 12 month period. The price of the common stock shares was based on the
closing price of the Companys common stock on September 20, 2010. On September 1, 2010, four of
the five Directors agreed to participate in this program and, subsequently, the participants were
issued 123,000 shares of restricted common stock. Director stock compensation expense under this
program related to these restricted shares amounted to $53,000 and $107,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011.
On May 29, 2009, the Companys five senior executive officers agreed to accept voluntary salary
reductions for the remainder of the 2009 calendar year in exchange for the issuance of restricted
shares of common stock as authorized under the Companys 2008 Incentive Stock Plan. Two other key
executives of the Company also accepted salary reductions for the balance of the year in exchange
for restricted shares. Each officer and key executive voluntarily accepted a ten percent (10%)
salary reduction for the remainder of 2009, except for one officer who voluntarily accepted a forty
percent (40%) decrease for the remainder of 2009. The number of restricted shares of common stock
issued to each officer and executive was equal to the dollar value of the individuals salary
reduction divided by the closing price per share of the Companys common stock on May 29, 2009.
The total number of restricted shares of common stock issued to these officers and executives was
209,000. The Company reserved the right to extend these salary reductions into the 2010 calendar

On December 31, 2009, the Companys five executive officers, along with two other key executives of
the Company, agreed to extend these salary reductions through June 30, 2010. On July 9, 2010, the
Companys Chief Executive Officer, with the approval of the Board of Directors, decided to continue
the cash salary reductions through December 31, 2010. Each executive officer and key executive
voluntarily accepted a 10% salary reduction for 2010, except for one executive officer who
voluntarily accepted a 40% decrease for 2010. The number of restricted shares of Common Stock
issued to each executive officer and key executive was equal to the dollar value of the
individuals salary reduction divided by the closing price per share of the Companys Common Stock
on December 30, 2009 and January 3, 2011, respectively. The total number of restricted shares of
Common Stock issued to these officers and executives in 2010 was 284,000. The Company recorded
compensation expense related to these restricted shares of $55,000 and $110,000 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
Product Warranties
The Company warrants finished goods against defects in material and workmanship under normal use
and service for periods of one to three 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. A liability for the estimated future costs under
product warranties is maintained for products outstanding under warranty and is included in
Accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The warranty activity for the
respective years is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 7. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS
On May 27, 2009, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note (the Note) with The
Quercus Trust (Quercus) in the amount of $70,000. Under the terms of this Note, the Company is
obligated to pay The Trust the principal sum of the Note and interest accruing at a yearly rate of
1.00% in one lump sum payment on or before June 1, 2109. The Company received these funds on June
9, 2009.
On December 29, 2009 and in conjunction with the acquisition of SRC, the Company entered into
Letter of Credit Agreements (LOCs) with John Davenport, President of the Company, and with
Quercus, for $250,000 and $300,000, respectively. These LOCs have terms of 24 months and bear
interest at a rate of 12.5% on the face amount. The LOCs are collateralized by 15% and 18%,
respectively, of the capital stock of Crescent Lighting Ltd., which in turn is based on CLLs net
worth as of November 30, 2009 and are subordinated to the senior indebtedness of the Company and
CLL. As an incentive to enter into the LOCs, the Company issued five-year, detached warrants to
purchase 125,000 and 150,000 shares, respectively, of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01
per share. The Companys shareholders approved the warrants at the Annual Meeting on June 16,
2010.
In conjunction with the acquisition of SRC on December 31, 2009, the Company entered into an
agreement with TLC Investments, LLC (TLC), whereby a Convertible Promissory Note (Convertible
Note) was issued for the principal amount of $500,000. This Convertible Note bears interest at
the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus two percent (2%), which along with the principal, is due
and payable on June 30, 2013 (maturity date). This Convertible Note is secured by a
first-lien-position security interest in all assets of SRC. Additionally, TLC has the right to
convert the principal of the Convertible Note, in whole, but not in part, into 500,000 shares of
our common stock at any time during the period commencing on June 30, 2010 and through the maturity
date. Additionally, as a provision to the Convertible Note, if the reported closing price of a
share of common stock of the Company is not equal to or greater than $2.00 for at least twenty (20)
trading days between June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2013, we shall pay TLC an additional fee of
$500,000 on the maturity date. The Company accrued for this potential fee at the time of the
agreement.
On March 30, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with EF Energy Partners LLC (EF Energy),
an Ohio limited liability company, under which it sold to EF Energy a Secured Subordinated
Promissory Note (Subordinated Note) for the principal amount of $1,150,000. The Company secured
the full amount of this financing with a pledge of its United States gross accounts receivable and
selected capital equipment. This Subordinated Note bears interest at a rate of 12.5%, which is
payable quarterly, in arrears, commencing September 30, 2010. The entire outstanding principal
balance of this Subordinated Note, together with all accrued interest thereon, is due and payable
on March 30, 2013. Additionally, the Company issued to the eight investors in EF Energy five-year,
detached penny warrants ($.01 per share) to purchase shares of its common stock at a rate of 0.2
warrants per dollar of financing, or 230,000 warrants, with an expiration date of March 30, 2015.
The Company and EF Energy Partners are not related.

amount of $676,000 which bears interest at a rate of 10% annually commencing May 1, 2011 and has a
maturity date of April 30, 2014. In addition, the Company made a payment of approximately $121,000
on May 9, 2011, not subject to interest, and made gross rent payments of $200,000, during the
period September 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011, which reduced the balance of the note at inception to

at June 30, 2011. There were no borrowings against this facility as of June 30, 2011 or December
31, 2010. This facility is renewed annually on January 1. The interest rate for this facility in

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
At June 30, 2011, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax
asset in the United States, due to uncertainties related to the Companys ability to utilize its
deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of certain net operating losses carried forward. The
valuation allowance is based upon the Companys estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction and
the period over which its deferred tax assets will be recoverable.
NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In July 2011, the Company and its landlord for the Solon, Ohio office, located at 32000 Aurora
Road, signed an amended and restated sublease agreement that will resolve past due amounts under
the lease agreement, which expired April 30, 2011, as well as the terms by which the Company and
its landlord will enter into an extension of the previous lease. The terms includes a reduction of
the gross rent to $25,000 for the period September 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011 (the period), an
extension of the lease until April 30, 2014 with a Company option to extend thereafter and a
reduction in both the square footage of the premises and the gross rent per square foot to be paid
from May 1, 2011 to April 30, 2014. In conjunction with the signing of the lease agreement and to
satisfy past due amounts, the Company delivered an unsecured Promissory Note to the landlord. For
details relating to this promissory note, please see Note 7, Long Term Borrowings.
In connection with the acquisition of SRC, the Company maintains a performance-related contingent
obligation related to a 2.5% payout based upon the annual revenues of the acquired business over 42
months commencing January 1, 2010, and a $500,000 fee if the market price of the Companys common
stock is not equal to or greater than $2.00 per share for at least twenty trading days between June
30, 2010 and June 30, 2013. The Company accrued for this potential fee at the time of the
agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company has paid $60,000 and
$170,000, respectively, relating to this 2.5% payout. For the three and six months ended June 30,
2010, the Company has paid $131,000 and $257,000, respectively.
NOTE 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In November, 2009, the Company received an additional $3,344,000 in equity financing, net of
expenses by selling 4,813,000 shares of common stock in a registered offering. The investment was
made by numerous current Energy Focus shareholders, including two then current members of the
Companys Board of Directors. The investment was made under the Companys registration statement
for a $3,500,000 common stock subscription rights offering. Under the terms of the rights
offering, the Company distributed, at no charge to its shareholders, transferable rights to
purchase up to $3.5 million of the Companys common stock at the established subscription price per
share of $0.75, which was set by the Companys Board of Directors. At the time the offering began,
the Company distributed to each shareholder one transferable right for each share of common stock
owned by the shareholder. Each right entitled the holder to purchase one share of the Companys
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, subject to a maximum of 4,600,000 shares to be issued in
the offering. Shareholders were entitled to subscribe for shares not subscribed for by other
shareholders. Among the investors were Philip E. Wolfson, a member of the Companys Board of
Directors at the time of the transaction, and who invested approximately $8,000 in the aggregate.
Also among the investors was Quercus, whose trustees include David Gelbaum, who was a member of the
Companys Board of Directors at the time of the offering.
In the Companys subscription rights offering discussed above, an investor inadvertently purchased
1,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share. The Company agreed to facilitate the sale
of these shares to another shareholder or investor or to purchase them directly. A purchase of
those shares by the Company would have severely depleted its cash-on-hand and working capital.
After contacting selected shareholders and investors, the Company introduced the investor to
Quercus, one of the Companys large shareholders. The Company was informed on December 30, 2009,
by the investor and Quercus that Quercus had agreed to purchase those shares at $0.80 per share.
At that time, the closing market price of a share of the Companys common stock was approximately
$0.65 per share. To facilitate the purchase of the 1,000,000 shares by Quercus, on December 30,
2009, the Companys Board of Directors agreed with Quercus to reduce the exercise price of
1,560,062 warrants issued to Quercus, in the March 2008 private placement, to $0.01 per share upon
the completion of the purchase of all 1,000,000 shares in 2010. The purchase of the 1,000,000

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
On December 29, 2009, and in conjunction with the acquisition of SRC, the Company entered into
Letter of Credit Agreements (LOCs) with John Davenport, President of the Company, and with
Quercus, for $250,000 and $300,000, respectively. Please refer to Note 7, Long-Term Borrowings,
for discussion of the terms of these LOCs.
The Vice President of SRC is a minority owner in TLC as well as in Woodstone Energy, LLC
(Woodstone), a Tennessee limited liability company, both of which are located in Nashville,
Tennessee.
SRC renders lighting design and lighting solution services to these related parties within the
scope of their ordinary business activities. Conversely, these related parties, operating as
electrical subcontractors, provide installation support services to SRC as part of their normal
business. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, related party sales totaled $474,000
and $1,410,000, respectively. Related party sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and 2010
totaled $828,000 and $3,943,000, respectively. Of these sales, the Company had $674,000 of
receivables, including retainage, at June 30, 2011. Subcontractor installation support services
provided by related parties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $2,477,000 and
$4,061,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, subcontractor
installation support services was $3,620,000 and $7,580,000, respectively. Of the support services
provided, $2,205,000 was payable at June 30, 2011.
With the acquisition of SRC, the Company entered into an agreement with the seller, TLC, whereby,
SRC would be guaranteed a profit percentage of 25% on certain projects which were begun prior to
the acquisition or were out for bid at the time the acquisition occurred on December 31, 2009.
During 2010, a significant portion of our projects were subject to this guarantee. During 2011,
SRC continues to utilize TLC as an electrical subcontractor on certain projects which were not
begun or were not out for bid at the time of the acquisition and, therefore, would not be subject
to the guaranteed 25% gross profit percentage on these projects.
In conjunction with the acquisition of SRC on December 31, 2009, the Company entered into an
agreement with TLC whereby a Convertible Promissory Note (Convertible Note) was issued for the
principal amount of $500,000. This Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of the Wall Street
Journal Prime Rate plus two percent (2%), which along with the principal, is due and payable on
June 30, 2013. This Convertible Note is secured by a first-lien-position security interest in all
assets of SRC. Additionally, TLC has the right to convert the principal of the Convertible Note,
in whole, into 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock at any time during the period
commencing on June 30, 2010 and ending on the maturity date. Additionally, as a provision to the
Convertible Note, if the reported closing price of a share of the Companys common stock shall not
be equal to or greater than $2.00 for at least twenty (20) trading days between June 30, 2010 and
June 30, 2013, the Company shall pay TLC an additional fee of $500,000 on the maturity date.
On December 31, 2009, the Company issued to Woodstone warrants to purchase up to 600,000 shares of
the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share, and with a term ending on
December 31, 2014. The warrants become exercisable only if SRC receives from Woodstone firm
contracts or purchase orders for at least $10,000,000 by June 30, 2013. The warrants vest in two
tranches: 400,000 shares when contracts or purchase orders between SRC and Woodstone reach
$10,000,000 and an additional 200,000 shares when contracts or purchase orders between SRC and
Woodstone reach an additional $5,000,000. As of June 30, 2011, no warrants related to this
issuance have vested.
The Company, in the agreement for the acquisition of SRC, provided for payment of a management fee
to TLC for overhead expenses in support of up to $20,000,000 in project billings for 2010 on those
projects which TLC provided installation support services. The management fee totaled $1,232,000,
payable in equal monthly installments, and began January 31, 2010 and ended on December 31, 2010.
Furthermore, an additional 8% management fee is payable for project billings above $20,000,000 in
fiscal year 2010 and for fiscal years after December 31, 2010, where TLC provides installation
support services on projects that were pending at the date of acquisition of SRC. For the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2010, the Company did not exceed the $20,000,000 threshold and incurred
only the $1,232,000 of management fees as stipulated in the agreement. For the three months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $167,000 and $308,000, respectively, of expense
relating to this management fee. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company
incurred $269,000 and $616,000, respectively, of expense relating to this management fee.

NOTE 13. LEGAL MATTERS
On January 29, 2010, a competitor and former supplier filed a complaint against the Company in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, alleging that the Company had misused proprietary trade
secrets, breached a contract, and engaged in deceptive trade practices relating to one of the
Companys lighting products. The complaint sought injunctive relief and damages. The Company
answered the complaint and filed a counterclaim for breach of contract. The parties settled and
dismissed the case in the second quarter of 2011. In the opinion of management, neither the
defense of the lawsuit nor the implementation of the settlement has had or will have an adverse
effect on the Companys financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.
NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August
11, 2011 the Company entered into a Letter of Credit Agreement
(LOC) with Mark Plush, Chief Financial Officer of the
Company, for $250,000. This LOC has term of 24 months and bears interest at a rate of 12.5% on the face amount. The LOC is
collateralized by the assignment of proceeds of the cash collateral on deposit with the insurance company related to the companys
surety bonding program. This LOC is subordinated to the senior indebtedness of the Company. As an incentive to enter into the LOC,
the Company issued five-year, detached warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
The Company did not register the offering and issuance of the warrant, or of the underlying shares of common stock, under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the Act in Section 4(2) of the Act. The
purchaser of the warrants qualifies as an accredited investor under
the the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions Regulation D.

Overview
Energy Focus, Inc. and its subsidiaries engage in the design, development, manufacturing,
marketing, and installation of energy-efficient lighting systems and solutions where we serve two
segments:
| product-based sales providing military, general commercial and industrial lighting and pool lighting offerings, each of which markets and sells energy-efficient lighting systems; and |
| solutions-based sales providing turnkey, high-quality, energy-efficient lighting application alternatives primarily to the existing public-sector building market. |
We continue to evolve our business strategy to include providing our customers with turnkey,
comprehensive energy-efficient lighting solutions, which use, but are not limited to, its patented
and proprietary technology. Our product-based solutions include light-emitting diode (LED),
fiber optic, high-intensity discharge (HID), fluorescent tube and other highly energy-efficient
lighting technologies. Typical savings related to our current technology approximates 80% in
electricity costs, while providing full-spectrum light closely simulating daylight colors. Our
strategy also incorporates continued investment into the research of new and emerging energy
sources including, but not limited to, LED and solar energy applications.
Our development of solar technology continues through our role in the United States Governments
Very High Efficiency Solar Cell (VHESC) Consortium sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA). The goal of the VHESC project is to develop a 40% or greater efficient
solar cell for United States military applications, which would also ultimately become available to
the public for commercial application.
Results of Operations
Cash Utilization
Cash and cash equivalents were $969,000 at June 30, 2011 as compared to $4,107,000 at December 31,
2010. This represents a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $602,000 and $3,138,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Included in cash and cash equivalents at
June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is $68,000 and $128,000, respectively, of restricted cash
related to funds received from a grant from/for a branch of United States government. For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010, cash increased $289,000 and $1,037,000, respectively,

Table of Contents
Net Sales and Gross Profit
Solutions-based net sales were $3,344,000 and $5,946,000 for the three and six months ended June
30, 2011, respectively, compared to $4,935,000 and $10,215,000 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010, respectively. This decrease is related to the timing of the recognition of revenue
associated with contracts in our backlog and the number, size and scope of projects which were in
progress or available for start during the first half of 2011 as compared to the first half of
2010. Our solutions-based backlog at June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1,738,000 and $4,863,000,
respectively. This decrease in our backlog is a result of delays and number of signed contracts
coming to realization during the first half of 2011. Product-based net sales were $4,849,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2011; an increase of $826,000, compared to $4,023,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2010. Product-based net sales were $7,707,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2011; an increase of $607,000, compared to $7,100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Revenues from our products-based business include, but are not limited to, revenues recognized upon
shipping, product sale at completion of installation and installation service at completion of
installation. Revenues from our lighting solutions-based business include, but are not limited to,
revenues recognized from long-term contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis or the fair value
of certain contract deliverables. For a detailed discussion on our revenue recognition policy, see
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Gross profit was $1,548,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $1,568,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2010. The gross profit margin, as a percentage of sales, increased
1.4 percentage points to 18.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to 17.5% for the three months
ended June 30, 2010. Gross profit was $2,707,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared
to $2,963,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The gross profit margin, as a percentage
of sales, increased 2.7 percentage points to 19.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to 17.1% for
the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increases in gross profit margin are primarily the result
of higher profit margins relating to our product-based net sales and product-based business in the
first half of 2011 coupled with a reduction in manufacturing overhead associated with our US
product-based business, which was partially offset by decreased margins in our solutions-based
business.
Research and Development
Gross research and development expenses were $214,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared
to $62,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
gross research and development expenses were $805,000 and $402,000, respectively.
Research and development expenses include salaries, contractor and consulting fees, supplies and
materials, as well as costs related to other overhead such as depreciation and facilities costs.
Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred. Our gross research and
development expenses are reduced on a proportional performance basis under DARPA SBIR development
contracts. During 2009, 2010 and 2011, SBIR contracts were signed totaling $2,548,000 to be
reimbursed over a two-year recovery period, respectively. Of this total contract amount,
$1,817,000 was billed through June 30, 2011 with the remaining $731,000 categorized as unrecognized
reductions of gross research and development expenses. The amount of credits incurred and accrued
from government contracts were $345,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $196,000
for the same period in 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the amount of
credits incurred and accrued from government contracts were $671,000 and $481,000, respectively.
We are currently pursuing additional contracts through various government agencies, and anticipate
being granted additional contracts throughout 2011.
When the government contract is for the delivery of a product or service, we recognize revenues
from those government projects according to proportional performance method or actual deliveries
made. Costs related to the completion of the sale are charged to cost of sales. Revenues
recognized from completed deliveries were $1,175,000 and $794,000 for the quarters ended June 30,
2011 and 2010, respectively. Revenues recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
were $1,685,000 and $1,366,000, respectively.
Total government reimbursements are the combination of revenues and credits from government
contracts. For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our net credits were $1,520,000 and
$990,000, respectively. Net credits for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were
$2,356,000 and $1,847,000, respectively. Net research and development income was $131,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $134,000 for the same period in 2010. Net research and
development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $134,000, compared to income of
$79,000 for the same period in 2010.

Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses increased 7.8% to $1,636,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011,
as compared to $1,518,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June
30, 2011, sales and marketing expenses increased 13.8% to $3,571,000, as compared to $3,137,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2010. This increase is primarily due to an increase in sales
incentive costs and costs associated with new product introduction.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased $472,000 to $1,044,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2011, as compared to $1,516,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the six
months ended June 30, 2011, general and administrative expenses decreased $573,000 to $2,622,000,
as compared to $3,195,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily the
result of a reduction in amortization expense related to our intangible assets, a decrease in
professional services fees and NASDAQ fees which were incurred in 2010 due to the increase in
authorized shares of common stock.
Valuation of Equity Instruments
In the first quarter and six months of 2011, we recognized non-cash charges of $56,000 relating to
the valuation of our common stock upon the issuance of 412,000 shares to Lincoln Park Capital
Partners, LLC. During the first quarter of 2010, we recognized a non-cash charge of $1,421,000
related to the revaluation of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock acquired by The
Quercus Trust (Quercus) in our March 2008 equity financing. During the second quarter of 2010,
we recognized non-cash charges of $329,000, primarily related to the valuation of 350,000 warrants
issued to Lincoln Park Capital Partners in May, 2010. Please refer to Note 12, Related Party
Transactions, of our financial statements for a discussion of the transaction with Quercus.
Restructuring Expenses
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we did not incur any restructuring expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized restructuring expenses of $26,000, all of
which was incurred during the first quarter. These expenses are associated with the relocation of
our remaining manufacturing equipment and operations in Solon, Ohio to a warehouse facility located
in California.
Other Income and Expenses
We had interest income of $1,000 and interest expense of $191,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we had interest income of $2,000 and interest
expense of $374,000. Interest income consists of interest earned on deposits. Interest expense
includes interest on our long-term borrowings and contingent consideration, including any
amortization of debt discounts related to these commitments. Please refer to Note 7, Long-Term
Borrowings, of our financial statements for a more detailed discussion of our borrowings. For the
three months ended June 30, 2010, interest income was $1,000 and interest expense was $149,000.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, interest income was $3,000 and interest expense was
$250,000.
Net loss
We recorded a net loss of $1,173,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net
loss of $1,812,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a 35.3% decrease from the same period
last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a net loss of $3,986,000, a 25.9%
decrease compared to a net loss of $5,382,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents were $969,000, including restricted cash of $63,000
relating to funds received from a grant from/for a branch of United States government, as compared
to $4,107,000, including restricted cash of $128,000, at December 31, 2010, a net cash decrease of
$3,138,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This compares to a net cash increase of
$1,037,000 for six months ended June 30, 2010, which included $1,150,000 of cash received from the
selling of a Secured Subordinated Promissory Note.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities primarily consists of our net loss adjusted by non-cash
items, including depreciation, amortization, equity valuations and stock-based compensation, as
well as the effect of changes in working capital. Net cash used in operating activities was
$3,757,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net cash usage of $252,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase in cash usage is primarily the result of the timing of disbursements
to subcontractors and certain vendors in support of our solutions-based business.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $194,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011,
compared to a net cash usage of $54,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. During both
periods, the net cash used was primarily for the acquisition of equipment.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $797,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The
cash provided was primarily due to the issuance of 412,000 shares of our common stock to Lincoln
Park Capital Fund, LLC (LPC) as described in further detail below and the issuance of a $355,000
unsecured promissory note as described below under the caption Long-Term Borrowings. Net cash
provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1,384,000 which was
primarily the result of us issuing a secured subordinated note payable to EF Energy Partners.
On March 17, 2010, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with LPC of
Chicago, Illinois and issued to them 120,000 shares of our common stock. Under the Purchase
Agreement, on May 31, 2010, we sold and issued to LPC, and LPC purchased from us, 360,500 shares of
our common stock, together with warrants (Warrants) to purchase 350,000 shares at an exercise
price of $1.20 per share, for a total consideration of $375,000. The Warrants have a term of five
years, are not exercisable until December 1, 2010, and expire on December 1, 2015. Under the
Purchase Agreement, LPC has also agreed to purchase up to an additional 3,650,000 shares of our
common stock at our option over approximately 25 months. As often as every five (5) business days,
we have the right to direct LPC to purchase a calculated number of shares as defined by the terms
of the Purchase Agreement. We can suspend purchases or accelerate the number of shares to be
purchased at any time. No sales of shares may occur below $1.00 per share. The purchase prices of
the shares will be based on the market prices of our shares at the time of sale, as computed under
the Agreement without any fixed discount. We may at any time in our sole discretion terminate the
Agreement without fee, penalty, or cost upon five business dates notice. In connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company filed a Registration Statement
(the Registration Statement) with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (the SEC) to
register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the shares of common stock associated with
this transaction. On July 14, 2010, we received a Notice of Effectiveness from the SEC relating to
the Registration Statement. As of December 31, 2010, we sold and issued to LPC, and LPC purchased
from us, a total of 705,550 shares of our common stock for a total consideration of $791,000 which
was offset by expenses of $139,000. In the first six months of 2011, we sold and issued to LPC,
and LPC purchased from us, a total of 412,000 shares of our common stock for a total consideration
of $407,000. Although we retain the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate the agreement
without fee, penalty, or cost, we reserve the right to continue to utilize this financing activity
for general corporate and working capital purposes and pursuit of our business strategy.
On May 18, 2011 the Company received a notification from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications
Department indicating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the
Companys common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued

Long-Term Borrowings
On May 27, 2009, we entered into an unsecured promissory note (the Note) with Quercus in the

On December 29, 2009 and in conjunction with the acquisition of SRC, we entered into Letter of
Credit Agreements (LOCs) with John Davenport, President of Energy Focus, and with Quercus, for
$250,000 and $300,000, respectively. These LOCs have terms of 24 months and bear interest at a
rate of 12.5% on the face amount. The LOCs are collateralized by 15% and 18%, respectively, of
the capital stock of Crescent Lighting Ltd. (CLL), which in turn is based on CLLs net worth as
of November 30, 2009 and are subordinated to the senior indebtedness of Energy Focus and CLL. As
an incentive to enter into the LOCs, we issued five-year, detached warrants to purchase 125,000
and 150,000 shares, respectively, of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Our
shareholders approved the warrants at the Annual Meeting on June 16, 2010.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Stones River Companies, LLC. (SRC) on December 31, 2009,
we entered into an agreement with TLC Investments, LLC (TLC), whereby a Convertible Promissory
Note (Convertible Note) was issued for the principal amount of $500,000. This Convertible Note
bears interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus two percent (2%), which along with the
principal, is due and payable on June 30, 2013 (maturity date). This Convertible Note is secured
by a first-lien-position security interest in all assets of SRC. Additionally, TLC has the right
to convert the principal of the Convertible Note, in whole, but not in part, into 500,000 shares of
our common stock at any time during the period commencing on June 30, 2010 and through the maturity
date. Additionally, as a provision to the Convertible Note, if the reported closing price of a
share of common stock of the Company is not equal to or greater than $2.00 for at least twenty (20)
trading days between June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2013, we shall pay TLC an additional fee of
$500,000 on the maturity date. We accrued for this potential fee at the time of the agreement.
On March 30, 2010, we entered into an agreement with EF Energy Partners LLC (EF Energy), an Ohio
limited liability company, under which it sold to EF Energy a Secured Subordinated Promissory Note
(Subordinated Note) for the principal amount of $1,150,000. We secured the full amount of this
financing with a pledge of its United States gross accounts receivable and selected capital
equipment. This Subordinated Note bears interest at a rate of 12.5%, which is payable quarterly,
in arrears, commencing September 30, 2010. The entire outstanding principal balance of this
Subordinated Note, together with all accrued interest thereon, is due and payable on March 30,
2013. Additionally, we issued to the eight investors in EF Energy five-year, detached penny
warrants ($.01 per share) to purchase shares of its common stock at a rate of 0.2 warrants per
dollar of financing, or 230,000 warrants, with an expiration date of March 30, 2015. We are not
affiliated with EF Energy Partners.
In conjunction with the signing of the lease agreement for the Solon, Ohio office building and to
satisfy past due amounts, we delivered an unsecured Promissory Note to our landlord in the amount
of $676,000 which bears interest at a rate of 10% annually commencing May 1, 2011 and has a
maturity date of April 30, 2014. In addition, we made a payment of approximately $121,000 on May
9, 2011, not subject to interest, and made gross rent payments of $200,000, during the period
September 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011, which reduced the balance of the note at inception to
$355,000.
Through our subsidiary in the United Kingdom, we maintain a British pounds sterling-denominated
bank overdraft facility with Lloyds Bank Plc, in the amount of
£100.000, which was approximately $160,000 based on the exchange rate
at June 30, 2011. There were no borrowings against this facility as of June 30, 2011 or December
31, 2010. This facility is renewed annually on January 1. The interest rate for this facility in
2011 is a variable interest rate equal to the Bank of Englands Bank Rate, which was 0.50% at June
30, 2011, plus 3.10%. The interest rate on the facility at December 31, 2010 was 2.75%.
Liquidity
Historically, we have incurred losses attributable to operational performance which have negatively
impacted cash flows. Although management continues to address many of the legacy issues that have
historically burdened our financial performance, we still face challenges in order to reach
profitability. In order for us to attain profitability and growth, we will need to successfully
address these challenges, including the continuation of cost reductions throughout the
organization, execution of our marketing and sales plans for our turnkey energy-efficient lighting
solutions business, the development of new technologies into sustainable product lines and
continued improvements in supply chain performance.
We are optimistic about obtaining the funding necessary to meet on-going tactical and strategic
capital requirements. However, there can be no assurances that this objective will be successful.
As such, we will continue to review and pursue selected external funding sources, if necessary, to
execute these objectives including the following:
| obtain financing from traditional and non-traditional investment capital organizations or individuals, |
| potential sale or divestiture of one or more operating units, and |
| obtain funding from the sale of common stock or other equity or debt instruments. |
24
Table of Contents
Obtaining financing through the above-mentioned mechanisms contains risks, including:
| loans or other debt instruments may have terms and/or conditions, such as interest rate, restrictive covenants, and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to management or the Board of Directors, |
| the current economic environment combined with our capital constraints may prevent us from being able to obtain any debt financing, |
| financing may not be available for parties interested in pursuing the acquisition of one or more of our operating units, and |
| additional equity financing may not be available in the current economic environment and could lead to further dilution of shareholder value for current shareholders of record. |
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingencies, and the
reported amounts of net sales and expenses in the financial statements. Material differences may
result in the amount and timing of net sales and expenses if different judgments or different
estimates were utilized. Critical accounting policies, judgments, and estimates which we believe
have the most significant impact on our financial statements 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 determination of fair value of financial instruments
and evaluation of goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment requires considerable judgment.
For the detailed discussion of the application of policies critical to our business operations, see
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revisions to the accounting
guidance related to troubled debt restructuring. This new guidance is effective for the first
interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively
to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of this new guidance did not have
a material effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial
position.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of June 30, 2011, we had British pounds sterling-denominated cash valued at $128,000 held in
the United Kingdom, based on the exchange rate at that date. The balances for cash held in the
United Kingdom are subject to exchange rate risk. We have a policy of maintaining cash balances
in local currency unless an amount of cash is occasionally transferred in order to repay
inter-company debts.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and
evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls
and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our
disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet, and management believes that they
meet, reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and
procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. Any design of
disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
25
Table of Contents
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, subject to the
limitations noted above, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that
material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter. Further, there were no other items
identified in connection with our internal evaluations that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On January 29, 2010, a competitor and former supplier filed a complaint against the Company in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, alleging that the Company had misused proprietary trade
secrets, breached a contract, and engaged in deceptive trade practices relating to one of the
Companys lighting products. The complaint sought injunctive relief and damages. The Company
answered the complaint and filed a counterclaim for breach of contract. The parties settled and
dismissed the case in the second quarter of 2011. In the opinion of management, neither the
defense of the lawsuit nor the implementation of the settlement has had or will have an adverse
effect on the Companys financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business we become involved in other litigation which,
in our opinion, does not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Reference is made to the Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the Annual Report). Other than the risk factor listed
below, there have been no significant changes in those risk factors as set forth in the Annual
Report.
Compliance with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market.
On May 18, 2011 the Company received a notification from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications
Department indicating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the
Companys common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued
listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company, in
accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), has been provided 180 calendar days, or until
November 14, 2011, to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share requirement. If at any
time during this grace period the bid price of the Companys common stock closes at or above $1.00
per share for a minimum of ten consecutive days, the NASDAQ Stock Market will provide the Company
with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
If the Company does not regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) by November 14, 2011, the
Company may be notified that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company
may appeal NASDAQs determination to delist its common stock to a Hearings Panel.
