PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Forward-looking statements
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “Energy Focus,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company,” or “the Company” refer to Energy Focus, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiary, and their respective predecessor entities for the applicable periods, considered as a single enterprise.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “feels,” “seeks,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could” or “would” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Quarterly Report and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, capital expenditures, and the industry in which we operate.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments may differ materially from statements made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.
We believe that important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties outlined under “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report and other matters described in this Quarterly Report generally. Some of these factors include:
• | our reliance on a limited number of customers, in particular our sales of products for the U.S. Navy, for a significant portion of our revenue, and our ability to maintain or grow such sales levels; |
• | our history of operating losses and our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations or receive sufficient financing, on acceptable terms, to continue our operations; |
• | our ability to implement and manage our growth plans and control expenses to increase sales; |
• | our ability to increase demand in our targeted markets and to manage sales cycles that are difficult to predict and may span several quarters; |
• | the timing of large customer orders and significant expenses as we invest in growth opportunities; |
• | general economic conditions in the United States and in other markets in which we operate; |
• | market acceptance of LED lighting technology; |
• | our dependence on military maritime customers and on the levels of government funding available to such customers, as well as the funding resources of our other customers in the public sector and commercial markets; |
• | our compliance with government contracting laws and regulations, through both direct and indirect sale channels; |
• | our ability to respond to new lighting technologies and market trends with safe and reliable products; |
• | any delays we may encounter in making new products available or fulfilling customer specifications; |
• | our ability to compete effectively against companies with greater resources; |
• | our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and the impact of any type of legal claim or dispute; |
• | our reliance on a limited number of third-party suppliers, our ability to obtain critical components and finished products from such suppliers on acceptable terms, and the impact of our fluctuating demand on the stability of such suppliers; |
• | our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; |
• | risks inherent in international markets, such as economic and political uncertainty, changing regulatory and tax requirements and currency fluctuations; and |
2
• | our ability to maintain effective internal controls and otherwise comply with our obligations as a public company. |
In light of the foregoing, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this Quarterly Report speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or to publicly announce the results of any revision to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2016
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Energy Focus, Inc. and its subsidiary engage in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of energy-efficient lighting systems. We operate in a single industry segment, developing and selling our energy-efficient light-emitting diode (“LED”) lighting products into the military maritime and general commercial and industrial markets. We have aligned our resources and focused our efforts on the sale of our LED lighting products, in particular our military and commercial tubular LED (“TLED”) lines of products, into targeted vertical markets.
During 2014, we shifted our focus away from the turnkey solutions business of Energy Focus LED Solutions, LLC ("EFLS"), which has historically incurred lower gross margins. We completed all outstanding solutions-based projects in the first quarter of 2015, are no longer accepting new projects, and fully exited the business as of September 2015. In August 2015, we sold our United Kingdom subsidiary, Crescent Lighting Limited ("CLL"). In 2013, we sold and discontinued our pool products business. As a result of exiting the turnkey solutions, CLL, and the pool products businesses, we have eliminated all net sales and expenses associated with those businesses from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and have reported the net losses as discontinued operations. Please refer to Note 3, "Discontinued Operations," for more information on our disposition of these businesses.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary Energy Focus Europe, Ltd. located in the United Kingdom, which is not active. The results of operations and financial position of EFLS, CLL, and the pool products business are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and previously reported financial information for the current and prior year have been adjusted. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements relates to our continuing operations.
We have prepared the accompanying financial data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying financial data and information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as amended ("2015 Annual Report").
In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an adjustment to reduce revenue by $814 thousand to reflect the return of products and related discounts on sales of products sold during the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016. We determined that certain shipments did not comply with our process to assemble finished products with the applicable standard for those orders. This operational error did not relate to the safety or quality of the products, but instead to conformity with the manufacturing standard represented with respect to the product. This adjustment was recorded in the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. We also recorded an adjustment to inventory to write-down the value of this product remaining in inventory at June 30, 2016. These adjustments also increased accounts payable by $814 thousand, increased net inventories by
10
ENERGY FOCUS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2016
(Unaudited)
$221 thousand, reduced cost of sales by $221 thousand, and increased the net loss by $593 thousand. We have arranged for returns and credits for the impacted customers and have evaluated and are implementing improvements to our sales, supply chain, and manufacturing processes. We have also enhanced our communications with our customers regarding their purchasing requirements and implemented internal processes to ensure that our inventory fulfillment is in line with those needs. We have estimated an amount of the potential credits for the remaining affected customers and determined that the impact is likely to be not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our 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 us in the future, actual results may vary 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 of property and equipment; valuation allowance for net deferred taxes; and stock-based compensation. In addition, estimates and assumptions associated with the determination of the fair value of financial instruments and evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment requires considerable judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Certain risks and concentrations
We have certain customers whose net sales individually represented 10 percent or more of our total net sales, or whose net trade accounts receivable balance individually represented 10 percent or more of our total net trade accounts receivable, as follows:
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. ("ADS"), a distributor for the U.S. Navy, accounted for approximately 36 percent of net sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we amended our exclusive distributor agreement with ADS to extend it until March 31, 2017 and reduce the minimum commitment requirements for certain products. In addition, one of the largest global healthcare systems located in Northeast Ohio accounted for approximately 11 percent of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, LED Lighting Solutions Global, LLC (an affiliate of Energy Management Products, LLC) ("LLS"), who was our former distributor for the U.S. Navy, accounted for approximately 79 percent of net sales and nearly all of the sales of products for the U.S. Navy.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, DFAS Columbus accounted for approximately 11 percent of net sales and ADS accounted for approximately 27 percent of net sales, and together they comprised sales of products for the U.S. Navy totaling approximately 38 percent of net sales. In addition, one of the largest global healthcare systems located in Northeast Ohio accounted for approximately 11 percent of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, LLS accounted for approximately 82 percent of net sales and nearly all of the sales of products for the U.S. Navy.
The indefinite duration, indefinite quantity ("IDIQ") U.S. Navy supply contract that we were awarded in 2011 terminates on August 1, 2016. This contract accounted for approximately $3.2 million in sales in 2015 and $1.6 million in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The remainder of our sales for the U.S. Navy during these periods occurred through ship-level procurement, which purchasing is not impacted by the termination of this agreement.
At June 30, 2016, ADS accounted for approximately 64 percent of net trade accounts receivable. At December 31, 2015, ADS accounted for approximately 62 percent of net trade accounts receivable.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which significantly changes the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on
11

expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, and requires an entity to recognize an allowance based on its estimate of expected credit losses rather than incurred losses. This standard will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which was intended to address implementation issues raised by stakeholders regarding collectability, non-cash consideration, presentation of sales tax, and transition. The amendments clarify the requirement to assess the collectability of contract consideration, specify that non-cash consideration should be measured at contract inception, allow entities to present sales net of sales taxes collected from customers, and provide a practical expedients related to completed contracts and contracts modified prior to adopting the new standard. These amendments are to be adopted concurrently with ASU No. 2014-09. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which changes the accounting for employee share-based payments. This standard addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which amends the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction (i.e., whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis). This amendment retains the guidance that the principal in an arrangement controls a good or service before it is transferred to a customer and clarifies the indicators for principal versus agent assessment in an arrangement. This amendment is to be adopted concurrently with ASU No. 2014-09. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which impacts the accounting for leasing transactions. This standard requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. In addition, this standard requires both lessees and lessors to disclose certain key information about lease transactions. This standard will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This amendment requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in the consolidation of the investee). This standard will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires entities to present deferred tax assets ("DTAs") and deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs") as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. This presentation simplifies the current guidance, which requires entities to separately present DTAs and DTLs as current or noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The netting of DTAs and DTLs by tax jurisdiction is still required under the new guidance. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2017, as required. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our disclosures as a result of the full valuation allowance we have recorded against our DTAs.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606) for all entities by one year. As a result, all entities will be required to apply the provisions of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We are currently assessing the adoption date and impact the guidance in this ASU will have, if any, on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), which requires entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This measure simplifies the current guidance, which requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market, where market is defined as one of three different measures, including net realizable value. The ASU does not apply to inventories measured by using either the last-in, first-out method or the retail inventory method. The ASU is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2017, as required, and do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.
Update to significant accounting policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies, as compared to those described in our 2015 Annual Report.
Net (loss) income per share
Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted (loss) earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental shares upon the exercise or release of stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants, unless the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted net (loss) income per share computations for the periods presented below (in thousands):

their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Therefore, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the basic weighted average shares outstanding were used in calculating diluted loss per share.
Product warranties
Through March 31, 2016, we warranted finished goods against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for periods generally between one and five years. Beginning April 1, 2016, we warrant commercial LED tubes, LED dock lights, globes, and retrofit kits for a period of ten years. Settlement costs consist of actual amounts expensed for warranty, which are largely a result of the cost of replacement products. A liability for the estimated future costs under product warranties is maintained for products and services outstanding under warranty. Extending the warranty did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Debt
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred interest expense of approximately $26 thousand and $49 thousand, respectively, in connection with our former revolving credit facility that was terminated in December 2015. For a full description of our debt financing, please refer to Note 7, "Debt," included under Item 8 of our 2015 Annual Report.
Geographic information
Approximately 99 percent of our long-lived fixed assets are located in the United States, with the remainder located in Taiwan. Net sales attributable to customers outside the United States accounted for less than one percent and approximately three percent of our total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Net sales attributable to customers outside the United States accounted for less than one percent of our total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The geographic location of our net sales is derived from the destination to which we ship the product.
Related Party Transactions
On February 27, 2012, we entered into an Asian Business Development/Collaboration Agreement with Communal International Ltd. ("Communal"), a British Virgin Islands company that is 50 percent owned by James Tu, our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and 50 percent owned by Yeh-Mei Cheng, the mother of Simon Cheng, a current member of our Board of Directors and an employee of the Company. On December 23, 2015, we terminated this agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, nothing was paid under this agreement and we recorded expense of $56 thousand and $113 thousand, respectively. For a full discussion of our related parties and the Communal agreement, please refer to Note 14, "Related Party Transactions," included under Item 8. of our 2015Annual Report.

NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
EFLS
As part of the strategy to align our resources with developing and selling our energy-efficient LED products into the commercial and government markets, we completed the exit of EFLS, formerly known as our turnkey solutions business, during the third quarter of 2015. We stopped accepting new projects and completed all outstanding solutions-based projects in the first quarter of 2015. Following the completion of these projects, a remaining warranty liability existed for the replacement of potential defective products that were installed as a part of certain solutions-based jobs. The period for potential warranty replacement lasted one year from the time of job commencement. As of September 30, 2015, the exit of our turnkey solutions business was complete. We do not anticipate any significant continuing involvement related to this discontinued operation.
CLL
In August 2015, we sold our wholly-owned United Kingdom subsidiary, CLL. The sale was for nominal consideration under the terms of the agreement. As a result of the transaction and the elimination of this foreign subsidiary consolidated under the equity method of accounting, during the third quarter of 2015, we recorded a one-time loss of $44 thousand, which included a $469 thousand accumulated other comprehensive income reclassification adjustment for foreign currency translation. We do not anticipate any significant continuing involvement related to this discontinued operation.
Pool Products Business
In November 2013, we sold our pool products business for a cash purchase price of $5.2 million. The Purchase Agreement provided for an escrow of $500 thousand of the purchase price to secure customary indemnification obligations with respect to our representations, warranties, covenants and other obligations under the Purchase Agreement. As of December 31, 2015, $200 thousand of the cash held in escrow had been released to us and $300 thousand remained in escrow subject to the resolution of outstanding buyer claims that were the subject of an arbitration claim the buyer filed in February 2015. At December 31, 2015, we offset the full escrow amount by the expected costs to settle this claim, as we had reached an agreement in principle with the buyer. On March 18, 2016, a settlement agreement was executed for this claim and the funds in the escrow account, plus the interest earned on the account, were released to the buyer. The legal fees incurred for the arbitration are included in the loss on disposal of discontinued operations for all periods presented.
As a result of exiting EFLS and selling CLL and the pool products businesses, we have eliminated all net sales and expenses associated with this business from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and have reported the net loss from those activities as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

As a result of the operating loss incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, and after the application of the annual limitation set forth under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), there was no provision recorded for U.S. federal income tax. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded $11 thousand for various states income taxes.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a provision of $923 thousand for U.S. federal and various states income taxes after the application of the annual limitation set forth under Section 382 of the IRC.
At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had a full valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was recorded due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize the deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of certain net operating losses carried forward. The valuation allowance is based upon management’s estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction and the periods over which the deferred tax assets will be recoverable.
At December 31, 2015, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $69.1 million for U.S. federal, state, and local income tax purposes. However, due to changes in our capital structure, approximately $14.8 million of this amount is available to offset future taxable income after the application of the limitations found under Section 382 of the IRC. In addition, as a result of this limitation, in 2016, we only expect to have approximately $6.0 million of the net operating loss carry-forward available for use. If not utilized, these carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2021 for federal purposes and in 2021 or sooner for state and local purposes. For a full discussion of the estimated restrictions on our utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards, please refer to Note 12, "Income Taxes," included under Item 8. of our 2015 Annual Report.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are the subject of threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting our business. We provide for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict the future outcome of such matters, we believe that the ultimate resolution of such individual or aggregated matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For certain types of claims, we maintain insurance coverage for personal injury and property damage and other liability coverages in amounts and with deductibles that we believe are prudent, but there can be no assurance that these coverages will be applicable or adequate to cover adverse outcomes of claims or legal proceedings against us.
On December 22, 2014, a former employee filed a lawsuit against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego alleging wrongful termination and other claims related to his employment with us. We subsequently removed the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. On May 1, 2015, we entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiff, which assigns no culpability to any party and provides for a payment by us in exchange for full settlement and release of his claims. For a full discussion of the lawsuit and settlement agreement, please refer to Note 10, "Commitments and Contingencies," included under Item 8. of our 2015 Annual Report. At June 30, 2015, the total settlement amount had been paid to the plaintiff. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had approximately $330 thousand associated with this settlement included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption, "Selling, general, and administrative."
Leases
On March 28, 2016, we signed a 64 month non-cancellable lease for a larger office in New York, New York, replacing a previous month-to-month lease. The initial base rent is approximately $333 thousand annually, with an increase beginning in the 34th month, and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In connection with this lease agreement, we entered into a standby letter of credit agreement for approximately $342 thousand, and we have classified the same amount as restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption "Cash and cash equivalents."
On April 19, 2016 we signed a 74 month non-cancellable lease commencing on May 1, 2016 for our executive offices and manufacturing facility located in Solon, Ohio. This lease consolidates and extends our prior lease agreements that were set to expire on April 30, 2017 and increases the total leased space to 116,592 square feet. The base rent is approximately $618 thousand annually, and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto, included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, as well as the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included under Item 7 of our 2015 Annual Report.
Overview
Energy Focus, Inc. and its subsidiary engage in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of energy-efficient lighting systems. We operate in a single industry segment, developing and selling our energy-efficient light-emitting diode ("LED") lighting products into the military maritime market, and general commercial and industrial markets. We have aligned our resources and focused our efforts on the sale of our LED lighting products, in particular our military and commercial tubular LED (“TLED”) lines of products, into targeted vertical markets of military maritime, government, healthcare, education, industrial and manufacturing, and national retail. Our goal is to become a leader in the LED lighting retrofit market by replacing fluorescent lamps in general purpose and high-intensity discharge (“HID”) lighting in low-bay and high-bay applications with our innovative, high-quality TLED products.
In order to focus on this business opportunity, we have exited non-core businesses. In 2013, we sold our pool lighting products division. During 2014, we shifted our focus away from the turnkey solutions business of Energy Focus LED Solutions, LLC, completing all outstanding solutions-based projects in the first quarter of 2015. In August 2015, we exited our United Kingdom business through the sale of Crescent Lighting Limited. As a result of exiting these non-core businesses, we have eliminated all net sales and expenses associated with these operations from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and have reported the net loss as discontinued operations. Please refer to Note 3, "Discontinued Operations," for more information on our disposition of these businesses.
Our military maritime sales continue to be impacted by the slowdown in demand from Navy ships compared to the rapid pace of 2015. We are working with our distributors and sales channels to broaden our sales opportunities and have revised certain distribution commitments to enhance our ability to manage our inventory accordingly. The U.S. Navy IDIQ supply contract that we were awarded in 2011 will terminate on August 1, 2016, which accounted for approximately $3.2 million in sales in 2015 and $1.6 million in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The remainder of our sales for the U.S. Navy during these periods occurred through ship-level procurement, which purchasing is not impacted by the termination of this agreement.
Through continued efforts to diversify our customer base and enhance the manner in which we approach our targeted vertical markets, net sales of our commercial products showed continued growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year periods, but reflected challenges in sustaining sequential quarter growth due to the timeframe in which we may secure large orders.
We continue to invest in our direct sales force and marketing personnel, and the other talent and infrastructure necessary to support the increasing scale of our commercial operations across a variety of other functions, and the sale cycles for our target markets may continue to span several months. As a result, our financial results continue to be subject to the impacts of our growth initiatives and fluctuations in the timing of our military maritime product sales and the pace and size of commercial projects, and we may dedicate significant resources to a targeted customer or industry before we achieve meaningful results or are able to effectively evaluate our success.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an adjustment to reduce revenue by $814 thousand to reflect the return of products and related discounts on sales of products sold during the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016. We determined that certain shipments did not comply with our process to assemble finished products in conformity with the applicable standard for those orders. This operational error did not relate to the safety or quality of the products, but instead to conformity with the manufacturing standard represented with respect to the product. This adjustment was recorded in the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. We also recorded an adjustment to inventory to write-down the value of this product remaining in inventory at June 30, 2016. These adjustments also increased accounts payable by $814 thousand, increased net inventories by $221 thousand, reduced cost of sales by $221 thousand, and increased the net loss by $593 thousand, as discussed below. We have arranged for returns and credits for the impacted customers and have evaluated and are implementing improvements to our sales, supply chain, and manufacturing processes. We have also enhanced our communications with our customers regarding their purchasing requirements and implemented internal processes to ensure that our inventory fulfillment is in line with those needs. We have estimated an amount of the potential credits for the remaining
22
affected customers and determined that the impact is likely to be not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net sales
A further breakdown of our net sales is presented in the following table (in thousands):
Three months ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | ||||||||||||

(1) Reflects the adjustment recorded during the period to reduce revenue by $814 thousand for product return and related sales credits discussed above.
Net sales of $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2016 decreased 56.1 percent compared to the second quarter of 2015. The decrease was due to lower sales of our military maritime products for the U.S. Navy and the revenue adjustment, partially offset by an increase in commercial products sales. Net sales of our commercial products, including the $814 thousand revenue adjustment described above, increased 54.0 percent compared to the second quarter of 2015, as we continued our efforts to diversify and expand our commercial markets.
Net sales of $15.6 million for the first six months of 2016 decreased 46.0 percent compared to the first six months of 2015. The decrease was due to lower sales of our military maritime products for the U.S. Navy and the revenue adjustment, partially offset by an increase in commercial product sales. Net sales of our commercial products, including the $814 thousand revenue adjustment described above, increased 102.1 percent compared to the first six months of 2015, as we continued our efforts to diversify and expand our commercial markets.
Gross profit
Gross profit was $2.5 million, or 35.4 percent of net sales, for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $7.4 million, or 45.8 percent of net sales for the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in gross profit was due primarily to lower sales and product mix, as well as the adjustment for product returns and related credits to sales and inventory adjustments affecting cost of sales described above. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is primarily the result of product mix related to our diversification and expansion efforts in the markets in which we sell our commercial products, as our commercial products generally have lower margins than our military maritime products. Additionally, the revenue and inventory adjustments affecting cost of sales of $814 thousand and $221 thousand, respectively caused a decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales of 3.8 percentage points for the second quarter of 2016.
Gross profit was $5.7 million, or 36.4 percent of net sales, for the first six months of 2016, compared to $12.6 million, or 43.7 percent of net sales for the first six months of 2015. The decrease in gross profit was due primarily to lower sales and product mix in the first half of 2016 compared to the first half of 2015, as well as the adjustment for product returns and related credits to sales and inventory adjustments affecting cost of sales described above. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is the result of product mix related to our diversification and expansion efforts in the markets in which we sell our commercial products, as our commercial products generally have lower margins than our military maritime products. Additionally, the revenue and inventory adjustments affecting cost of sales of $814 thousand and $221 thousand, respectively caused a decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales of 1.9 percentage points for the first six months of 2016.

Operating expenses
Product development
Product development expenses include salaries, contractor and consulting fees, legal fees, supplies and materials, as well as overhead, such as depreciation and facility costs. Product development costs are expensed as they are incurred.
Total gross and net product development spending, including revenues and credits from government contracts, is presented in the following table (in thousands):
Three months ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | ||||||||||||
Gross product development expenses | $ | 854 | $ | 695 | $ | 1,751 | $ | 1,352 | |||||||

Net product development expenses | $ | 854 | $ | 654 | $ | 1,658 | $ | 1,196 |
Gross product development expenses were $854 thousand for the second quarter of 2016, a $159 thousand increase compared to the second quarter of 2015. The increase resulted from higher salaries and related benefits of approximately $301 thousand, as we added personnel in the United States for both military maritime and commercial product development and opened a product development office in Taiwan in July 2015 to support the development of our commercial LED lighting products. This increase was partially offset by decreases in product development-related legal and consulting costs of $113 thousand and $37 thousand, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, gross product development expenses were $1.8 million, a $399 thousand increase compared to the first six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase resulted from higher salaries and related benefits of approximately $482 thousand, as we added personnel in the United States for both military maritime and commercial product development and opened a product development office in Taiwan in July 2015 to support the development of our commercial LED lighting products. In addition, product testing and related fees for the development of our LED lighting technology products increased approximately $82 thousand and building rent expense increased approximately $34 thousand due to the addition of the Taiwan office and additional space acquired in Solon, Ohio. These increases were partially offset by decreases in product development-related legal costs of $194 thousand.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.6 million, or 78.4 percent of net sales, for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $3.6 million, or 22.3 percent of net sales, for the second quarter of 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is the result of our efforts to build the sales and related administrative infrastructure to support our growth efforts for our commercial products. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, sales commissions increased approximately $373 thousand compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to higher outside sales commissions, as we revised our selling relationship for our military maritime products for the U.S. Navy in October 2015 such that we began using an outside sales representative who earns a commission on these sales. Previously, we used this sales representative as a distributor who in turn sold to another distributor for the U.S. Navy. We believe this change in the selling relationship allows us to stay closer to the U.S. Navy's supply chain. In addition, consulting services expense increased approximately $365 thousand, stock-based compensation increased approximately $209 thousand, severance and settlement costs increased approximately $189 thousand, network and software costs increased $143 thousand, legal and professional fees increased $123 thousand, trade show and other marketing costs increased $109 thousand, travel and related expenses increased $99 thousand, salaries and related benefits increased $90 thousand, and building rent expense increased $64 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.
25
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $9.9 million, or 63.6 percent of net sales, compared to $7.0 million, or 24.2 percent of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is the result of our efforts to build the sales and related administrative infrastructure to support our growth efforts. For the first half of 2016, salaries and related benefits increased approximately $710 thousand, consulting services expense increased approximately $498 thousand, stock-based compensation expense increased approximately $330 thousand, trade show and other marketing costs increased approximately $305 thousand, travel and related expenses increased approximately $209 thousand, network and software costs increased approximately $196 thousand, building rent expense increased approximately $149 thousand, and legal and professional fees increased approximately $138 thousand compared to the first half of 2015. Additionally, sales commissions increased approximately $584 thousand compared to the first half of 2015 primarily as a result of changing the selling relationship with our former distributor for the military maritime product for the U.S. Navy to an outside sales representative who earns a commission on these sales, as discussed above. These increases were partially offset by lower severance and settlement costs and uncollectible accounts receivable expenses of approximately $117 thousand and $85 thousand, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Other income and expenses
Interest expense
As a result of settling our debt obligations during the fourth quarter of 2015, we incurred no interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. We incurred $26 thousand and $49 thousand, respectively, in interest expense on our debt obligations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
Other income and expenses
Other income was $6 thousand for the second quarter of 2016, compared to other expenses of $16 thousand for the second quarter of 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 other income was $9 thousand, compared to other expenses of $38 thousand for the same prior year period. The income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily consisted of interest income on our cash balances. The expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily consisted of non-cash amortization of fees related to our former revolving credit facility.
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes
Due to the operating loss incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and after application of the annual limitation set forth under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), there was no provision recorded for U.S. federal income tax or various states' income tax. Due to the operating losses incurred in the first half of 2016 and after the application of the annual limitation set forth under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), there was no provision recorded for U.S. federal income tax and $11 thousand was recorded for various states' income tax. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a provision for U.S. federal and various states' income taxes of $923 thousand after the application of the annual limitation set forth under Section 382 of the IRC.
Net (loss) income
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, net loss was $3.9 million, compared to net income of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Lower net sales including the impact of the revenue adjustment for product returns and related credits to sales and inventory, changes in product mix in the second quarter of 2016, as well as continued investments in our corporate infrastructure to support future growth for our commercial products contributed to the difference in operating results.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net loss was $5.9 million, compared to net income of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Lower net sales including the impact of the revenue adjustment for product returns and related credits to sales and inventory, changes in product mix in the first half of 2016, as well as continued investments in our corporate infrastructure contributed to the difference in operating results.
26
Financial condition
We have historically incurred substantial losses, and as of June 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $86.0 million. Additionally, two customers accounted for approximately 36 percent and 11 percent of our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016, and one customer accounted for approximately 27 percent, and two customers each accounted for 11 percent of our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net sales for our military maritime products for the U.S. Navy have declined from the rapid pace experienced in 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, LED Lighting Solutions Global, LLC (an affiliate of Energy Management Products, LLC) ("LLS") accounted for approximately 79 percent of net sales, and nearly all of the sales of products for the U.S. Navy. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, LLS accounted for approximately 82 percent of net sales, and nearly all of the sales of products for the U.S. Navy.
During the third quarter of 2015, we raised approximately $23.6 million, net of fees, from a follow-on public offering of 1.5 million shares of our common stock, and had cash and cash equivalents of $25.4 million at June 30, 2016. While we were profitable for the year ended December 31, 2015, we incurred losses for the first half of 2016. In order for us to again be profitable and grow our business, we will need to continue executing our marketing and sales plans for our energy-efficient LED lighting products to expand our customer base, and continue to develop new technologies into sustainable product lines.
There is a risk that our business may not be as successful as we envision as we work to expand our customer base and grow net sales from commercial customers in our targeted vertical markets and address the slowdown in our military maritime business.
There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flows to sustain and grow our operations. We terminated our revolving credit facility effective December 31, 2015, and are not actively pursuing securing a new line of credit at this time. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flows to sustain and grow our operations or, if necessary, obtain funding on acceptable terms or in a timely fashion or at all. As such, we may continue to review and pursue selected external funding sources to execute these objectives including, but not limited to, the following:
• | obtain financing from traditional or non-traditional investment capital organizations or individuals; and |
• | obtain funding from the sale of our common stock or other equity or debt instruments. |
Obtaining financing through the above-mentioned mechanisms contains risks, including:
• | additional equity financing may not be available to us on satisfactory terms and any equity that we are able to issue could lead to dilution of stockholder value for current stockholders; |
• | 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 our Board of Directors or would restrict our growth opportunities; and |
• | the current environment in capital markets combined with our capital constraints may prevent us from being able to obtain adequate debt financing. |
If we fail to generate cash to grow our business, we would need to delay or scale back our business plan, reduce our operating costs, or reduce our headcount, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, and financial condition.
Liquidity and capital resources
Cash and cash equivalents
At June 30, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $25.4 million, compared to approximately $34.6 million at December 31, 2015. The balance at June 30, 2016 included restricted cash of $342 thousand, compared to $113 thousand at December 31, 2015. The restricted cash balance at June 30, 2016 represents a letter of credit requirement under our New York office lease obligation. The restricted cash balance at December 31, 2015 related to funds to be used exclusively for a research and development project with the National Shipbuilding Research Program. Additionally, our cash balance at December 31, 2015 included $300 thousand held in escrow of the purchase price from the sale of our pool products business related to outstanding buyer claims, but we offset the full escrow amount by the expected costs to settle such claims. During the first quarter of 2016, these claims were settled and the escrow balance was released to the buyer. For more information on the cash remaining in escrow, please refer to Note 3, "Discontinued Operations," included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities | $ | (8,209 | ) | $ | 701 | ||
Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (1,047 | ) | $ | (360 | ) | |
Net cash provided by financing activities | $ | 77 | $ | 2,588 |
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and resulted primarily from the net loss incurred of $5.9 million, as well as increased inventory balances to meet the demand principally for our commercial LED products that has been slower than we anticipated, higher prepaid expenses and other assets principally related to deposits on inventory purchases, and lower accrued sales commissions and incentives, as amounts accrued at December 31, 2015 were paid in the first quarter of 2016. These increases were partially offset by trade accounts receivable receipts due to the timing of shipments in December 2015. Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and resulted from the net income we earned, as well as, increases in accruals for income taxes and warranties. These increases were offset by increased inventory balances to meet the increased demand for our LED products and lower accounts payable balances related to the timing of payments to vendors.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and resulted primarily from the implementation of new modules and capabilities of our surface mount technology equipment purchased in 2015 and our licensed enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, as well as the purchase of tradeshow booths to support our sales and marketing initiatives. Net cash used in investing activities was $360 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and resulted primarily from acquisitions of computer equipment and software to support our expanded workforce and ERP implementation.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $77 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $2.6 million provided for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 resulted from the proceeds received for the exercise of stock options and purchases of stock through our employee stock purchase program, partially offset by the effect of issuing and immediately repurchasing our stock in stock swap and hold stock option exercises. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily included $2.5 million received in proceeds for exercises of outstanding warrants.
Contractual obligations
On March 28, 2016, we signed a 64 month non-cancellable lease for a larger sales office in New York, New York, replacing a previous month-to-month lease. The initial base rent is approximately $333 thousand annually, with an increase beginning in the 34th month, and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In connection with this lease agreement, we entered into a standby letter of credit agreement for approximately $342 thousand, and we have classified the same amount as restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption "Cash and cash equivalents."
On April 19, 2016 we signed a 74 month non-cancellable lease commencing on May 1, 2016 for our corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility located in Solon, Ohio. This lease consolidates and extends our prior lease agreements that were set to expire on April 30, 2017 and increases the total leased space to 116,592 square feet. The base rent is approximately $618 thousand annually, and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
28
Credit facilities
During the fourth quarter of 2015 we terminated our revolving line of credit. We had no credit facility or other debt obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2016.
Critical accounting policies
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to those included in our 2015 Annual Report.
Certain risks and concentrations
We had certain customers whose net sales individually represented 10 percent or more of our total net sales, or whose net trade accounts receivable balance individually represented 10 percent or more of our total net trade accounts receivable, as follows:
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. ("ADS"), a distributor for the U.S. Navy, accounted for approximately 36 percent of net sales. In addition, one of the largest global healthcare systems located in Northeast Ohio accounted for approximately 11 percent of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we amended our exclusive distributor agreement with ADS to extend it until March 31, 2017 and reduce the minimum commitment requirements for certain products. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, LED Lighting Solutions Global, LLC (an affiliate of Energy Management Products, LLC) ("LLS") accounted for approximately 79 percent of net sales, and nearly all of the sales of products for the U.S. Navy.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, DFAS Columbus accounted for approximately 11 percent of net sales, and ADS accounted for approximately 27 percent of net sales, and together they comprised sales of products for the U.S. Navy totaling approximately 38 percent of net sales. In addition, one of the largest global healthcare systems located in Northeast Ohio accounted for approximately 11 percent of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, LLS accounted for approximately 82 percent of net sales, and nearly all of the sales of products for the U.S. Navy.
The U.S. Navy supply contract that we were awarded in 2011 terminates on August 1, 2016, which accounted for approximately $3.2 million in sales in 2015 and $1.6 million in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The remainder of our sales for the U.S. Navy during these periods occurred through ship-level procurement, which purchasing is not impacted by the termination of this agreement.
At June 30, 2016, ADS accounted for approximately 64 percent of net trade accounts receivable. At December 31, 2015, ADS accounted for approximately 62 percent of net trade accounts receivable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
29
(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 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.
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 as of June 30, 2016.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There has been no material change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
