LIGHTING SCIENCE GROUP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Overview

Lighting Science Group Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1988 and designs, develops, manufactures and markets general illumination products that exclusively use light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) as their light source. The Company’s product portfolio includes LED-based retrofit lamps (replacement bulbs) that can be used in existing light fixtures and sockets as well as purpose built LED-based luminaires (light fixtures) for many common indoor and outdoor residential, commercial, industrial and public infrastructure lighting applications. The Company assembles and manufactures products internally and through its contract manufacturers in Asia.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with the disclosure requirements for the quarterly report on Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K originally filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The Company’s actual results could differ from these estimates.

Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2014, as required by the Company’s five-year term loan (the “Medley Term Loan”) with Medley Capital Corporation (“Medley”), the Company was required to maintain a minimum restricted cash balance of $3.0 million to collateralize the Medley Term Loan. As of December 31, 2013, as required by the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Wells Fargo ABL”) with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), the Company was required to maintain a minimum qualified cash balance of $5.0 million as a compensating balance against the Wells Fargo ABL. Changes in the restricted cash balance are reflected as a financing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Accounts Receivable

The Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount when its products are shipped to customers or upon the completion of specific milestone billing requirements. The Company’s accounts receivable balance is recorded net of allowances for amounts not expected to be collected from customers. This allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Estimates used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts are based on historical collection experience, age of receivables and known collectability issues. The Company writes off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent, based upon age or customer circumstances, that such amounts will not be collected. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis. Recovery of bad debt amounts previously written off is recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense in the

period the payment is collected. Generally, the Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not regularly charge interest on past due amounts. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s accounts receivable were reflected net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $387,000 and $475,000, respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, there were $4.7 million of eligible accounts receivable pledged as collateral for the three year asset based revolving credit facility (the “FCC ABL”) entered into on April 25, 2014 with FCC, LLC d/b/a First Capital (“First Capital”). As of December 31, 2013, there were $6.8 million of eligible accounts receivable pledged as collateral for the Wells Fargo ABL.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue when its products are shipped and title passes to customers. When sales of products are subject to certain customer acceptance terms, revenue from such sales is recognized once such terms have been met. The Company also provides its customers with limited rights of return for non-conforming shipments or product warranty claims.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09, but the standard is not expected to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Product Warranties

The Company generally provides a five-year limited warranty covering defective materials and workmanship of its products and such warranty may require the Company to repair, replace or reimburse the purchaser for the purchase price of the product. The estimated costs related to warranties are accrued at the time products are sold based on various factors, including the Company’s stated warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims and the cost to repair or replace its products under warranty. The warranty provision is included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the warranty provision for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were as follows:

 

Warranty provision as of December 31, 2013

   $ 3,231,991   

Additions to provision

     1,245,967   

Less warranty costs

     (1,805,663
  

 

 

 

Warranty provision as of June 30, 2014

   $ 2,672,295   
  

 

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, amounts due under lines of credit and other short term borrowings, accrued expenses and other current liabilities are carried at amounts that approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The Riverwood Warrants, September 2012 Warrants and the Pegasus Commitment (each as defined in Note 10 below), the Pegasus Warrant and Series J Warrants, (each as defined in Note 9 below) and the Medley Warrants and Pegasus Guaranty Warrants (each as defined in Note 7 below) were initially recorded at fair value and subsequently reflected at their fair value at the end of each reporting period.

NOTE 3. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As shown in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced significant net losses as well as negative cash flows from operations since its inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $786.5 million and stockholders’ deficit of $453.3 million as of June 30, 2014. The Company’s cash expenditures primarily relate to procurement of inventory, payment of salaries, employee benefits and other operating costs. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have historically been borrowings from Wells Fargo under the Wells Fargo ABL, which was replaced by the Medley Term Loan in February 2014 and the FCC ABL in April 2014, as well as sales of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and the Company’s preferred stock to, and short-term loans from, affiliates of Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Pegasus Capital”), including Pegasus Partners IV, L.P. (“Pegasus IV”), LSGC Holdings LLC (“LSGC Holdings”), LSGC Holdings II LLC (“Holdings II”) and PCA LSG Holdings, LLC (“PCA Holdings”), which together with its affiliates, is the Company’s controlling stockholder. While affiliates of Pegasus Capital have led many of

Table of Contents

the Company’s capital raises, each of the Initial Series J Preferred Offering (as defined in Note 9 below), the Follow-On Series J Offering (as defined in Note 9 below) and the Series H and I Preferred Offering (as defined in Note 10 below) also involved parties other than Pegasus Capital and its affiliates.

On February 19, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Medley (as amended from time to time the “Medley Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company obtained the five-year, $30.5 million Medley Term Loan and a two-year delayed draw term loan (the “Medley Delayed Draw Loan”). The Company utilized proceeds from the Medley Term Loan to repay its outstanding obligations under the Wells Fargo ABL and the Second Lien Letter of Credit Facility (the “Ares Letter of Credit Facility”), dated as of September 20, 2011, pledged in favor of Wells Fargo by or for the account of Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares Capital”).

On April 25, 2014, the Company entered into the FCC ABL with First Capital, pursuant to which the Company obtained a three-year revolving credit facility. The Company utilized proceeds from the FCC ABL to repay its outstanding obligations under the Medley Delayed Draw Loan. The Medley Loan Agreement was amended on April 25, 2014 to, among other things, terminate the Medley Delayed Draw Loan and permit the indebtedness under the FCC ABL. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $7.5 million outstanding under the FCC ABL and additional borrowing capacity of $6.8 million.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $750,000 and an additional $3.0 million in restricted cash subject to a cash collateral dominion agreement pursuant to the Medley Term Loan. The FCC ABL provides the Company with a maximum borrowing capacity of $22.5 million, which capacity is equal to (i) the sum of (A) 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and (B) the lesser of (a) $10 million and (b) the sum of (x) the lesser of (1) 65% of the dollar value of certain eligible inventory and (2) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of such eligible inventory, (y) 65% of certain other inventory and (z) the lesser of (1) $4.5 million and (2) the lesser of 65% of the dollar value or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory that is in-transit, minus (ii) the sum of reserves established by First Capital and the amount of outstanding letter of credit obligations (collectively, the “Borrowing Base”). The Company is at all times required to maintain (i) a Borrowing Base that exceeds the amount of its outstanding borrowings under the FCC ABL and (ii) $3.0 million in restricted cash pursuant to the Medley Loan Agreement. The Company is required to comply with certain specified EBITDA requirements, maintain a specified lamp sourcing percentage and comply with a maximum capital expenditure limits.

The Company continues to face challenges in its efforts to achieve positive cash flows from operations and profitability. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon establishing profitable operations and raising additional capital through public or private financing, as well as the continued support of its existing investors. The Company’s current business plan includes a focus on increasing revenue by updating and expanding its product offerings and capitalizing on the known product needs of its existing customers, as well as improving gross margins by significantly leveraging contract manufacturers in Asia and reducing operating costs, primarily through the restructuring initiated in 2013 and continuing in 2014. Future financing may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In addition, future financings involving the issuance of equity securities may be dilutive to the Company’s current stockholders.

On April 25, 2014, the Company, entered into the FCC ABL, which provides the Company with a maximum borrowing capacity of $22.5 million, which capacity is limited by a Borrowing Base equal to (i) the sum of (A) 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and (B) the lesser of (a) $10 million and (b) the sum of (x) the lesser of (1) 65% of the dollar value of certain eligible inventory and (2) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of such eligible inventory, (y) 65% of certain other inventory and (z) the lesser of (1) $4.5 million and (2) the lesser of 65% of the dollar value or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory that is in-transit, minus (ii) the sum of reserves established by First Capital and the amount of outstanding letter of credit obligations. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $7.5 million outstanding under the FCC ABL and additional borrowing capacity of $6.8 million.

As of June 30, 2014, eligible collateral included $4.7 million of accounts receivable and $10.0 million of inventory. Borrowings under the FCC ABL bear interest at a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 4.0% per annum. As of June 30, 2014, the interest rate on the FCC ABL was 4.2%.

Medley Delayed Draw Loan

On February 19, 2014, the Company, entered into the Medley Delayed Draw Loan, which provided the Company with a borrowing capacity of up to $22.5 million. The Medley Delayed Draw Loan bore interest at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 10.5% per annum. Proceeds from the FCC ABL were used to repay the Company’s outstanding obligations under the Medley Delayed Draw Loan on April 25, 2014.

Medley Term Loan

On February 19, 2014, the Company, entered into the Medley Loan Agreement, pursuant to which Medley provided a term loan facility in the amount of $30.5 million. The Medley Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 12% per annum, as follows: (i) up to 2% (at the Company’s election) of interest may be paid as “payment in kind” by adding such accrued interest to the unpaid principal balance of the Medley Term Loan and (ii) the remaining accrued interest amount is payable in cash monthly in arrears. As of June 30, 2014, the interest rate on the Medley Term Loan was 12.2%. Additionally, $3.0 million of the Medley Term Loan was funded directly into a deposit account to which Medley has exclusive access, to further secure the loan. The outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Medley Term Loan are due and payable on February 19, 2019. As of June 30, 2014 the balance of the Medley Term Loan was $27.1 million, which included the initial loan balance of $30.5 million offset by a discount of $725,000 related to commitment fees paid to Medley and a discount of $3.2 million related to the Medley Warrants (discussed below). In addition, the Company recognized $279,000 of interest expense for the accretion of the discounts to the balance of the Medley Term Loan related to the commitment fees and the Medley Warrants and $224,000 of accrued interest for the period from February 19, 2014 to June 30, 2014.

Medley Warrants

On February 19, 2014, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Medley Loan Agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to each of Medley and Medley Opportunity Fund II LP (together, the “Medley Warrants”). The Medley Warrants have an exercise price equal to $0.95 and, if unexercised, expire on February 19, 2024. The Medley Warrants became exercisable on April 14, 2014 when the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance (the “Charter Amendment”).

The Medley Warrants are considered derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-10-15, “Derivatives and Hedging” due to the down round protection provided to the holders by the instruments. The Medley Warrants were recorded as a liability at fair value using the Black Scholes valuation method at issuance and were valued at $3.2 million as of February 19, 2014, which was recorded as a discount to the Medley Term Loan. The discount is being accreted using the effective interest rate method over the life of the loan as a non-cash charge to interest expense. Changes in the fair value of the Medley Warrants are measured and recorded at the end of each quarter. The change in fair value of the Medley Warrants was $215,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $140,000 for the period from February 19, 2014 (the date of issuance of the Medley Warrants) to June 30, 2014, and was included in the (increase) decrease in fair value of liabilities under derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Accretion of the discount on the Medley Term Loan was $195,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $279,000 for the period from February 19, 2014 to June 30, 2014 and was included in interest expense.

Table of Contents

On February 19, 2014, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Medley and Medley Opportunity Fund II LP pursuant to which the Company granted piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Medley Warrants and any other shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by such parties in the future.

Pegasus Guaranty and Pegasus Guaranty Warrants

Pegasus Capital Partners IV, L.P. and Pegasus Capital Partners V, L.P. (collectively, the “Pegasus Guarantors”) have agreed to provide a guaranty of the Company’s obligations under the Medley Loan Agreement in favor of Medley (the “Pegasus Guaranty”). The Pegasus Guaranty was recorded as debt issuance costs at fair value on the date of issuance. The fair value was determined to be $2.8 million as of February 19, 2014, using an implied interest rate analysis. The debt issuance costs will be amortized as non-cash interest expense over the life of the Medley Term Loan. As consideration for the Pegasus Guaranty, on February 19, 2014, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to each of the Pegasus Guarantors (the “Pegasus Guaranty Warrants”). The Pegasus Guaranty Warrants have an exercise price equal to $0.50 and, if unexercised, expire on February 19, 2024. The Pegasus Guaranty Warrants are considered derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-10-15, “Derivatives and Hedging” due to the down round protection provided by the instrument. The Pegasus Guaranty Warrants were recorded as a liability at fair value using the Black Scholes valuation method at issuance and were valued at $3.3 million as of February 19, 2014. The fair value of the Pegasus Guaranty partially offset the fair value of the Pegasus Guaranty Warrants, with the remaining value of $571,000 accounted for as a deemed dividend to the Company’s controlling stockholder. Changes in the fair value of the Pegasus Guaranty Warrants are measured and recorded at the end of each quarter. The change in fair value of the Pegasus Guaranty Warrants was $213,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $131,000 for the period from February 19, 2014 (the date of issuance of the Pegasus Guaranty Warrants) to June 30, 2014, and was included in the (increase) decrease in fair value of liabilities under derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Wells Fargo

The Wells Fargo ABL provided the Company with borrowing capacity of up to $50.0 million. On February 19, 2014, the Company utilized proceeds from the Medley Term Loan to repay its outstanding obligations under the Wells Fargo ABL.

Ares Capital

On September 21, 2011, the Company entered into the Ares Letter of Credit Facility, a $25.0 million standby letter of credit issued by Ares Capital in favor of Wells Fargo for the benefit of the Company. On February 19, 2014, the Company utilized proceeds from the Medley Term Loan to repay its outstanding obligations under the Ares Letter of Credit Facility.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) defines fair value as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to a fair valuation of these assets and liabilities and are based on (i) unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date (Level 1); (ii) quoted prices in non-active markets or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (Level 2); and (iii) prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (Level 3).

The Company has recorded the Medley Warrants and the Pegasus Guaranty Warrants at their fair values using the Black Scholes valuation method and they are valued on a recurring basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company recorded the Series J Warrants (as defined in Note 9 below) at their fair value using the Black Scholes valuation method on the date of issuance and they were valued on a recurring basis at the end of each reporting period, as long as they were deemed a liability. The Company filed the Charter Amendment to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance, which was effective April 14, 2014, at which time the Series J Warrants were deemed equity instruments. As of April 14, 2014, the Series J Warrants were recorded at their fair value and reclassified from liability to additional paid-in capital and they will no longer be valued on a recurring basis. The Company has recorded the Pegasus Warrant (as defined in Note 9 below), the Riverwood Warrants, the September 2012 Warrants and the Pegasus Commitment (each as defined in Note 10 below) at their fair values using the Monte Carlo valuation method and they are valued on a recurring basis at the end of each reporting period, as long as they are deemed a liability.

The Pegasus Guaranty was recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis on the date of issuance using an implied interest rate analysis. The fair value was determined to be $2.8 million as of February 19, 2014 and was included in debt issuance costs.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014, according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values:

NOTE 9. SERIES J REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Initial Series J Offering

From September 11, 2013 through November 18, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 20,000 shares of its Series J Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), at a price of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”) for aggregate proceeds of $20.0 million (the “Initial Series J Preferred Offering”). The shares of Series J Preferred Stock were issued pursuant to a preferred stock subscription agreement among the Company, PCA Holdings, Holdings II and RW LSG Holdings LLC, (“Riverwood Holdings”), an affiliate of Riverwood LSG Management Holdings LLC (“Riverwood Management”) and Riverwood Capital Partners L.P. (“Riverwood Capital,” and collectively with Riverwood Holdings, Riverwood Management and their affiliates, “Riverwood”). The Company issued 13,657, 2,500, 2,394 and 1,449 shares of Series J Preferred Stock to Holdings II, PCA Holdings, Riverwood Holdings and other accredited investors, respectively. As compensation for advisory services provided by Pegasus, on September 11, 2013 the Company issued a warrant to Holdings II, (the “Pegasus Warrant”) representing the right to purchase 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a variable exercise price that will be determined on the date of exercise.

The Series J Preferred Stock is senior to the Series H Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 10 below), the Series I Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 10 below) and the Common Stock and is entitled to dividends of the same type as any dividends or other distribution of any kind payable or to be made on outstanding shares of Common Stock, on an as converted basis. Each share of Series J Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at the election of the holder thereof, into the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Optional Conversion Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Stated Value of such shares of Series J Preferred Stock by (b) the $0.95 conversion price, subject to certain adjustments.

The Company is required to redeem all outstanding shares of Series J Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to the Liquidation Amount (as defined below) upon the Company’s receipt of a notice from the holders of Series H Preferred Stock that would require the Company to redeem the shares of Series H Preferred Stock pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H Certificate of Designation”). The redemption of any shares of Series J Preferred Stock would be senior and prior to any redemption of Series H Preferred Stock or Series I Preferred Stock and any holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock may elect to have less than all or none of such holder’s shares of Series J Preferred Stock redeemed. At any time after the Company has redeemed any shares of Series H Preferred Stock, at any time thereafter each holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock may elect to have all or a portion of such holder’s shares of Series J Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company for an amount in cash equal to the Liquidation Amount of such shares of Series J Preferred Stock.

The “Liquidation Amount” of each share of Series J Preferred Stock is equal to the greater of (a) the fair market value of the Optional Conversion Shares and (b) an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Stated Value by (B) 2.0.

Follow-On Series J Offering

Between January 3, 2014 and March 7, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 17,475 units of its securities (the “Series J Securities”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per Series J Security for aggregate proceeds of $17.5 million (the “Follow-On Series J Offering”). Each Series J Security consists of (i) one share of Series J Preferred Stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase 2,650 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “Series J Warrants”). The Series J Securities were issued pursuant to separate Series J Securities Subscription Agreements between the Company and each of PCA Holdings, Holdings II, Riverwood Holdings, Cleantech Europe II (A) LP (“Cleantech A”) and Cleantech Europe II (B) LP (“Cleantech B” and together with Cleantech A, “Zouk”) and certain other accredited investors. The Company issued 6,000, 6,000, 2,860, 2,570 and 45 Series J Securities to Holdings II, PCA Holdings, Riverwood Holdings, Zouk and other accredited investors, respectively.

The Follow-On Series J Offering was deemed to be a “Qualified Follow-On”, as such term is used and defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series J Preferred Stock (the “Series J Certificate of Designation”) and the Preferred Stock Subscription Agreements (the “Existing Subscription Agreements”) by and between the Company and the existing holders of Series J Preferred Stock (the “Initial Series J Investors”). As a result, and in accordance with the Existing Subscription Agreements, the Initial Series J Investors exchanged their Series J Preferred Stock for Series J Securities (the “Series J Exchange”).

Accordingly, on January 3, 2014, each of LSGC Holdings II, PCA Holdings and Riverwood Holdings received Series J Warrants to purchase 36,191,050, 6,625,000 and 6,344,100 shares of Common Stock, respectively, in addition to the shares of Series J Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to the Existing Subscription Agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the

Table of Contents

Series J Certificate of Designation and the Existing Subscription Agreements, because Holdings II, PCA Holdings and Riverwood Holdings collectively held at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series J Preferred Stock and elected to participate in the Series J Exchange with respect to all of their previously purchased shares of Series J Preferred Stock, all of the Initial Series J Investors were required to participate in the Series J Exchange. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had issued an aggregate of 37,475 shares of Series J Preferred Stock and Series J Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 99,308,750 shares of Common Stock.

In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the shares of Series J Preferred Stock are recorded as mezzanine equity because such shares contain terms that allow the holder to redeem the shares for cash, and for which redemption is not solely within the control of the Company. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company will recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Series J Preferred Stock was recorded at redemption value on each date of issuance, which included a deemed dividend due to the redemption feature. As of June 30, 2014, Series J Preferred Stock redemption value included an aggregate deemed dividend of $30.3 million, which is reflected as an offset in additional paid-in capital.

Series J Warrants

Each Series J Warrant represents the right to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price $0.001 and if unexercised, expires on January 3, 2019. The Series J Warrants are considered derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” due to the Company not having adequate shares available for issuance on the date that such warrants were issued. The Series J Warrants were recorded as a liability of $12.4 million based on an allocated portion of the cash proceeds of the Follow On Series J Offering at issuance. Changes in fair value are measured and recorded at the end of each quarter using the Black Scholes valuation method. The change in fair value of the Series J Warrants was $994,000 and $25.1 million for the period from April 1, 2014 to April 14, 2014 when the Series J Warrants were deemed equity instruments and the period from the date of issuance of the Series J Warrants to April 14, 2014, respectively, which was included in the (increase) decrease in fair value of liabilities under derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The Series J Warrants were not exercisable until the Company effected the Charter Amendment. The Charter Amendment was effective April 14, 2014, at which point the Series J Warrants were deemed equity instruments.

Pegasus Warrant

The Pegasus Warrant was issued to Holdings II on September 11, 2013, in consideration for advisory services provided by Pegasus. The Pegasus Warrant represents the right to purchase 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a variable exercise price that will be determined on the date of exercise. The exercise price will be equal to the difference obtained by subtracting (a) the fair market value for each share of Common Stock on the day immediately preceding the date of exercise from (b) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) approximately 2.764% of the amount by which the total equity value of the Company exceeds $523.9 million (as may be adjusted for subsequent capital raises) by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Pegasus Warrant; provided that for so long as the total equity value of the Company is less than or equal to $523.9 million (as may be adjusted for subsequent capital raises) the Pegasus Warrant will not be exercisable. The Pegasus Warrant provides for certain anti-dilution adjustments and if unexercised, expires on May 25, 2022.

The Pegasus Warrant is considered a derivative financial instrument in accordance with ASC 815-10-15, “Derivatives and Hedging” due to the variable nature of the warrant exercise price. The Pegasus Warrant was recorded as a liability at fair value using the Monte Carlo valuation method at issuance with changes in fair value measured and recorded at the end of each quarter. There was a decrease of $200,000 and an increase of $935,000 in fair value of the Pegasus Warrant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, which was included in the (increase) decrease in fair value of liabilities under derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

NOTE 10. SERIES H AND SERIES I REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Series H and I Preferred Stock

On May 25, 2012, the Company entered into a preferred stock subscription agreement with Riverwood and certain other purchasers, pursuant to which the Company issued 60,705 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H Preferred Stock”) and 6,364 shares of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series I Preferred Stock” and together with the Series H Preferred Stock, the “Series H and I Preferred Shares”) at a price of $1,000 per Series H and I Preferred Share (the “Series H and I Preferred Offering”), for gross proceeds of $67.1 million. In conjunction with the Series H and I

Table of Contents

Preferred Offering, the Company entered into a Support Services Agreement (the “Riverwood Support Services Agreement”) with Riverwood Holdings and Riverwood Management. As compensation for Riverwood’s provision of certain financial and structural analysis, due diligence investigations, corporate strategy and other advice and negotiation assistance to the Company in connection with the Series H and I Preferred Offering, the Company issued warrants to Riverwood Management and certain of its affiliates (the “Riverwood Warrants”) representing the right to purchase an aggregate of 18,092,511 shares of Common Stock at a variable exercise price.

On September 25, 2012, the Company also entered into a separate preferred stock subscription agreement with each of (i) Portman Limited (“Portman”) and (ii) Zouk, pursuant to which the Company issued 49,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share of Series H Preferred Stock (the “September 2012 Preferred Offering”), for gross proceeds of $49.0 million. In conjunction with the September 2012 Preferred Offering, the Company also issued warrants to each of Portman, Cleantech A and Cleantech B to purchase 4,000,000, 3,406,041 and 593,959 shares of Common Stock, respectively (the “September 2012 Warrants”).

The Series H and I Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of the same type as any dividends or other distribution of any kind payable or to be made on outstanding shares of Common Stock, on an as converted basis. Each Series H and I Preferred Share is convertible at any time, at the election of the holder thereof, into the Optional Conversion Shares.

In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” the Series H and I Preferred Shares are recorded as mezzanine equity because the Series H and I Preferred Shares contain terms that allow the holder to redeem the shares for cash at their option, and for which redemption is not solely within the control of the Company. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company will recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the Series H and I Preferred Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. There was no change in the redemption value for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Riverwood Warrants

The Riverwood Warrants were issued to Riverwood Management on May 25, 2012 in consideration for services provided in connection with the Series H and I Preferred Offering. The Riverwood Warrants represent the right to purchase 18,092,511 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price to be determined on the date of exercise. The exercise price will be equal to the difference obtained by subtracting (a) the fair market value for each share of Common Stock on the day immediately preceding the date of exercise from (b) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) 5% of the amount by which the total equity value of the Company exceeds $523.9 million (as may be adjusted for subsequent capital raises) by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Riverwood Warrants; provided that for so long as the total equity value of the Company is less than or equal to $523.9 million (as may be adjusted for subsequent capital raises) the Riverwood Warrants will not be exercisable. The Riverwood Warrants provide for certain anti-dilution adjustments and if unexercised, expires on May 25, 2022.

The Riverwood Warrants are considered derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-10-15, “Derivatives and Hedging” due to the variable nature of the exercise price. The Riverwood Warrants were recorded as a liability at fair value using the Monte Carlo valuation method at issuance with changes in fair value measured and recorded at the end of each quarter. The change in fair value of the Riverwood Warrants was a decrease of $362,000 and an increase of $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and was included in the (increase) decrease in fair value of liabilities under derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The change in fair value of the Riverwood Warrants was a decrease of $3.1 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

September 2012 Warrants and September 2012 Commitment Agreement

In connection with the issuance of the September 2012 Warrants, on September 25, 2012, the Company entered into a Commitment Agreement (the “September 2012 Commitment Agreement”) with Pegasus, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to buy from Pegasus IV or its affiliates shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares, if any, for which the September 2012 Warrants are exercised, up to an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying all of the September 2012 Warrants (the “Pegasus Commitment”). The purchase price for any shares of Common Stock purchased by the Company pursuant to the Pegasus Commitment will be equal to the consideration paid to the Company pursuant to the September 2012 Warrants. With respect to any September 2012 Warrants exercised on a cashless basis, the consideration to Pegasus IV in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock issued to the exercising holder of September 2012 Warrants would be the reduction in the Pegasus Commitment equal to the reduction in the number of shares underlying the September 2012 Warrants.

Table of Contents

Subject to certain limitations, Pegasus IV has the right to cancel its obligations to the Company pursuant to the September 2012 Commitment Agreement with respect to all or a portion of the Pegasus Commitment then outstanding (a “Pegasus Call”). Upon the exercise of a Pegasus Call, the Company will have the obligation to purchase that number of September 2012 Warrants equal to the Pegasus Commitment subject to the Pegasus Call for an amount equal to the consideration paid by Pegasus IV pursuant to such Pegasus Call.

The September 2012 Warrants are exercisable on or after the tenth business day following the third anniversary of the Issuance Date at an exercise price of $0.72 per share of Common Stock. If unexercised, the September 2012 Warrants expire upon the earlier of (i) a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designation) prior to the three-year anniversary of the issuance date; (ii) the occurrence of any event that results in holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock having a right to require the Company to redeem the shares of Series H Preferred Stock prior to the three-year anniversary of the issuance date; (iii) consummation of a qualified public offering (“QPO”) (as defined in the Series H Certificate of Designation) prior to the three-year anniversary of the Issuance Date or (iv) receipt by the Company of a Redemption Notice (as defined in the Subscription Agreements). The September 2012 Warrants also provide for certain anti-dilution adjustments.

The September 2012 Warrants are considered derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-10-15, “Derivatives and Hedging” due to the cash settlement feature in the instrument. The September 2012 Warrants were recorded as a liability at fair value using the Monte Carlo valuation method at issuance with changes in fair value measured and recorded at the end of each quarter. The change in fair value of the September 2012 Warrants was an increase of $160,000 and $593,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and was included in additional paid-in capital. The change in fair value of the September 2012 Warrants was a decrease of $240,000 and $80,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

The Pegasus Commitment is classified as a financial instrument under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” due to the Company’s obligation to purchase its own shares in the event the September 2012 Warrants are exercised by the holders. The Pegasus Commitment was recorded as an asset at fair value using the Monte Carlo valuation method at issuance with changes in fair value measured and recorded at the end of each quarter. The change in fair value of the Pegasus Commitment was an increase of $160,000 and $593,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and was included in additional paid-in capital. The change in fair value of the Pegasus Commitment generally offsets the change in fair value of the September 2012 Warrants for the same period. The change in fair value of the Pegasus Commitment was a decrease of $240,000 and $80,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

NOTE 11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Warrants for the Purchase of Common Stock

On January 13, 2011, the Company issued a warrant (the “THD Warrant”) to The Home Depot, Inc. (“The Home Depot”) pursuant to which The Home Depot may purchase up to 5.0 million shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to certain vesting conditions. The THD Warrant was issued in connection with the Company’s Strategic Purchasing Agreement with The Home Depot, which it entered into on July 23, 2010 and pursuant to which it supplies The Home Depot with LED retrofit lamps and fixtures. The THD Warrant provided that 1.0 million shares of Common Stock would be eligible for vesting following each year ending December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2015, subject to The Home Depot having gross product orders from the Company, in dollar terms, that are at least 20% more than the gross product orders in the immediately preceding year. For the shares underlying the THD Warrant to be eligible for vesting following the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2015, The Home Depot would be required to extend the Strategic Purchasing Agreement for additional one-year periods beyond its initial term of three years. On August 12, 2013, the Company and The Home Depot entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Strategic Purchasing Agreement which, among other things, extended the term of the Agreement for an additional three years.

Per the vesting terms discussed above, no shares issuable pursuant to the THD Warrant vested for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 1,331,514 shares issuable pursuant to the THD Warrant vested during both the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, for total warrants vested of 2,663,028, when the product purchases for these periods satisfied the prescribed vesting conditions, and 2,663,028 shares remain subject to vesting in accordance with similar product purchasing terms. Pursuant to the terms of the Riverwood Warrants and the Pegasus Warrant, these were not exercisable as of June 30, 2014 because the aggregate fair market value of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with the terms of the Riverwood Warrants and the Pegasus Warrant) was less than $523.9 million (subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Riverwood Warrants and the Pegasus Warrant).

The fair value of the THD Warrant is determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method and will be adjusted at each reporting date until they have been earned for each year and these adjustments will be recorded as a reduction in the related revenue (sales incentive) from The Home Depot. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company determined that a portion of the THD Warrant was expected to vest during the period based on purchases made by The Home Depot during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and, accordingly, recorded (increase)/reductions in revenue of $(29,000) and $61,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $(17,000) and $14,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company initially accounted for the THD Warrant as an equity instrument, but subsequently determined that it should be accounted for as a liability. This resulted in an overstatement of equity and understatement of liabilities. As of June 30, 2014, the Company reclassified the THD Warrant out of equity and recorded the fair value of the warrant of $75,000 as a liability, included in liabilities under derivative contracts. The Company determined this reclassification to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12: EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Pursuant to that certain letter agreement, dated January 17, 2012 from the Company to LSGC Holdings (the “LSGC Letter Agreement”), the Company agreed to indemnify LSGC Holdings for, among other things, the cost of redeeming the Class C Interests in LSGC Holdings (the “Repurchase Obligation”) in the event that the Company issued preferred equity securities in excess of $80.0 million. Additionally, under the terms of the LSGC Letter Agreement, in the event that the Company would be required to indemnify LSGC Holdings under the LSGC Letter Agreement, LSGC Holdings agreed to surrender 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock to the Company less any shares of Common Stock previously distributed by LSGC Holdings to Continental Casualty Company. Following the consummation of the Series H and I Preferred Offering, the amount of preferred equity issued by the Company exceeded $80.0 million, and, as a result, LSGC Holdings, a related party, was required to redeem 15,000,000 of its issued and outstanding senior preferred member interests held by Continental Casualty Company. Upon issuance of the LSGC Letter Agreement on January 17, 2012, the Company determined that two classes of Common Stock had been established for financial reporting purposes only, with Common Stock attributable to controlling stockholders representing shares beneficially owned and controlled by Pegasus Capital and its affiliates and the Common Stock attributable to noncontrolling stockholders representing the minority interest stockholders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company computed net loss per share of noncontrolling stockholders and controlling stockholders of Common Stock using the two-class method. Net loss from operations is initially allocated based on the underlying common shares held by controlling and noncontrolling stockholders. The allocation of the net losses attributable to the Common Stock attributable to controlling stockholders is then reduced by the amount of the deemed dividend related to the Pegasus Guaranty Warrants, while the allocation of net losses attributable to the Common Stock attributable to noncontrolling stockholders is increased by the amount of the deemed dividend related to the Pegasus Guaranty Warrants (See Note 7 for further discussion).

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Common Stock:

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share except the number of shares is increased to assume exercise of potentially dilutive stock options, unvested restricted stock and contingently issuable shares using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred shares using the if-converted method, unless the effect of such increases would be anti-dilutive. The Company had 188.7 million and 191.0 million common stock equivalents for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and 108.5 million and 108.0 million common stock equivalents for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, which were not included in the diluted net loss per common share as the common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive, as a result of being in a net loss position.

  (1) These charges relate to a significant cost reduction plan initiated during the fourth quarter of 2013 that includes moving the majority of the Company’s manufacturing to its contract manufacturers in Asia, related workforce reductions in Satellite Beach, Florida and cost reductions in our foreign subsidiaries. In addition to the charges noted above, the Company expects to incur approximately $2.1 million additional expense throughout this cost reduction plan, primarily related to additional headcount reductions. These additional costs are expected to be incurred by the end of 2014.
  (2) On September 24, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors committed to the closing of our manufacturing facility in Mexico, which was substantially complete as of December 31, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, expense incurred related to termination of the lease on the Mexico manufacturing facility.
  (3) In September 2011, the Company began implementing a restructuring plan designed to further increase efficiencies across the organization and lower the overall cost structure. This restructuring plan included a reduction in full time headcount in the United States, which was completed in October 2011. In 2012, the Company extended the restructuring plan to further increase efficiencies across the organization and lower its overall cost structure. The plan included a significant reduction in full time headcount in Mexico resulting from the Company’s continued shift of its manufacturing and production processes to the Company’s contract manufacturer in Mexico, the replacement of 10 members of management in the United States following the completion of the Series H and I Preferred Offering in May 2012 and the closing of the Company’s offices in the United Kingdom and Australia. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, these expenses relate to the final liquidation of the Australian entity.

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to the possibility of loss contingencies arising in its business and such contingencies are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies.” In determining loss contingencies, the Company considers the possibility of a loss as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of such loss or liability. An estimated loss is recorded when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is routinely a defendant in or party to various pending and threatened legal claims and proceedings. The Company believes that any liability resulting from these various claims will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition; however, it is possible that extraordinary or unexpected legal fees could adversely impact our financial results during a particular period. During its ordinary course of business, the Company enters into obligations to defend, indemnify and/or hold harmless various customers, officers, directors, employees, and other third parties. These contractual obligations could give rise to additional litigation costs and involvement in court proceedings.

On June 22, 2012, Geveran Investments Limited (“Geveran”), a stockholder of the Company, filed a lawsuit against the Company and several other parties in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida. On October 30, 2012, the court entered an order transferring the lawsuit to the Ninth Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida. The action, styled Geveran Investments Limited v. Lighting Science Group Corp., et al., Case No. 12-17738 (07), named as defendants the Company; Pegasus and nine other entities affiliated with Pegasus; Richard Weinberg, a former Director of the Company and former interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a former partner of Pegasus; Gregory Kaiser, a former Chief Financial Officer of the Company; J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC (“J.P. Morgan”); and two employees of J.P. Morgan. Geveran seeks rescission of its $25.0 million investment in the Company, as well as recovery of attorneys’ fees and court costs, jointly and severally against the Company, Pegasus, Mr. Weinberg, Mr. Kaiser, J.P. Morgan and the two J.P. Morgan employees, for alleged violation of Florida securities laws. Geveran alternatively seeks unspecified money damages, as well as recovery of court costs, for alleged common law negligent misrepresentation against these same defendants. Additionally, Geveran asserted a claim against the defendants for punitive damages. Discovery in this case was recently completed and a trial date has been set for September 29, 2014.

The Company has retained counsel, denies liability in connection with this matter and intends to vigorously defend against the claims asserted by Geveran. While the outcome of any litigation is inherently difficult to predict, the Company currently believes that it has strong defenses against Geveran’s claims. Nonetheless, the amount of possible loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The outcome, if unfavorable, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company believes that, subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant policies (including retention and policy limits), Directors and Officers insurance coverage will be available to cover the Company’s legal fees and costs in this matter. However, given the unspecified nature of Geveran’s maximum damage claims, or if Geveran is successful on its claim for punitive damages, insurance coverage may not be available for, or such coverage may not be sufficient to fully pay, a judgment or settlement in favor of Geveran. The Company has also been paying, and expects to continue to pay, the

reasonable legal expense incurred by J.P. Morgan and its affiliates in this lawsuit in connection with the engagement of J.P. Morgan as placement agent for the Company’s private placement with Geveran. Such payments are not covered by the Company’s insurance coverage. The engagement letter executed with J.P. Morgan provides that the Company will indemnify J.P. Morgan and its affiliates from liabilities relating to J.P. Morgan’s activities as placement agent, unless such activities are finally judicially determined to have resulted from J.P. Morgan’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. While the case is in its early stages and the outcome of any litigation is inherently difficult to predict, the Company currently believes that it has strong defenses against Geveran’s claim for rescission that a grant of the remedy of rescission is unlikely and the amount of possible loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.

On August 14, 2014, the Company issued 2,000 Series J Securities to PCA Holdings for aggregate proceeds of $2.0 million.

Company Overview

We are an innovator and leading provider of LED lighting technology. We design, develop, manufacture and market advanced illumination products that exclusively use LEDs as their light source. Our product portfolio includes LED-based retrofit lamps (replacement bulbs) used in existing light fixtures as well as purpose-built LED-based luminaires (light fixtures). Our lamps and luminaires are used for many common indoor and outdoor residential, commercial, industrial and public infrastructure lighting applications and include LED lighting technology with light and color tuned to achieve specific biological effects. We believe our proprietary technology, unique designs and key relationships throughout the LED lighting supply chain position us favorably to capitalize on the expanding acceptance of LEDs as a residential retail lighting source.

Our strategic plan for the next three years consists of creating strong digital lighting brands in the consumer, residential, commercial and industrial markets. We intend to continue focusing on developing breakthrough innovation and on becoming a market maker in targeted value-added, high-margin segments within the lighting market. We also intend to continue to implement a nimble and agile “go-to-market” business model and manufacturing and product development system to streamline the processes used to introduce new products. Finally, we plan to reduce our cost structure, preserve cash flow and strengthen liquidity to enhance our financial position.

Over the past few years, we have focused on expanding and optimizing our global supply chain to meet forecasted demand for our products while addressing the operational inefficiencies that have negatively impacted our gross margin and overall financial performance in prior periods such as costs incurred to expedite the production or delivery of component parts. Our goals include improving our gross margin, reducing our operating expense and shortening our product development cycles. In the first half of 2014, we believe we made progress towards achieving these goals with the transition of a majority of our lamp and fixture manufacturing activities from our facilities in Florida and our contract manufacturer in Mexico to manufacturing and development partners in Asia. We began this transition in the third quarter of 2013 and it was fully completed during the first half of 2014. We plan to continue working with our new partners in Asia to continue to find ways to lower our product costs, primarily through supply chain improvements and more efficient management of routine engineering functions, and to expand our product offering and shorten our product introduction cycles. By outsourcing these functions and contracting our manufacturing process at a fixed cost per product, we expect a more stable operating environment accompanied by greater visibility into the gross margin profile of our business. We believe these changes will also allow us to focus our product development resources on new product conceptualization, industrial design activities and intellectual property creation, which we believe is a source of competitive advantage for us.

We continue to focus on increasing our brand awareness and improving our product promotion through prominent displays at our retailers and by conducting high visibility national media promotions with our key customers. In October 2013, we launched our GoodNight and Awake&Alert lights, our biologically corrected consumer lighting products. We also continue to work with major media outlets, grant interviews and work with key consumer influencers to gain greater visibility for our brand and our technology.

In addition to our operational changes, we have also replaced our lending facilities with facilities that provide us with more flexible borrowing terms. On February 19, 2014, we entered into an agreement (the “Medley Loan Agreement”) with Medley Capital Corporation (“Medley”) pursuant to which we received a $30.5 million five-year term loan (the “Medley Term Loan”) and a two-year delayed draw term loan (the “Medley Delayed Draw Loan”). The Medley Delayed Draw Loan provides us with borrowing capacity of up to a maximum of $22.5 million. We utilized proceeds from the Medley Term Loan to repay outstanding obligations under our asset based revolving credit facility (the “Wells Fargo ABL”), which we originally entered into in November 2010, with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) and the Second Lien Letter of Credit Facility (the “Ares Letter of Credit Facility”), dated as of September 20, 2011, pledged in favor of Wells Fargo by or for the account of Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares Capital”). On April 25, 2014, we entered into a three-year asset based revolving credit facility (the “FCC ABL”) with FCC, LLC d/b/a First Capital (“First Capital”). We utilized proceeds from the FCC ABL to repay outstanding obligations under the Medley Delayed Draw Loan.

Financial Results

The following table sets forth our revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

GAAP gross profit percentage

     5.6 %      2.0 %      8.3 %      5.7 % 

Our revenue is primarily derived from sales of our LED-based retrofit lamps and luminaires. We experienced a $5.8 million increase in revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase in revenue primarily resulted from a $15.4 million increase in sales to The Home Depot for the six months ended June 30, 2014 resulting from increased sales of our products at its stores, which was partially offset by a $9.6 million decrease in sales to multiple other customers.

Our financial results are dependent upon the mix and quantity of products sold, the operating costs associated with our supply chain, including materials, labor and freight, and the level of sales, distribution and administrative, research and development and other operating expense. We continuously seek to improve our products and to bring new products to market. As a result, many of our products have short life cycles and therefore, product life cycle planning is critical. At times we may purchase excess components and other materials used in the manufacture and assembly of our products or we may manufacture finished products in excess of demand. In addition, components, materials and products may become obsolete earlier than expected. These circumstances can lead to inventory write-downs and provisions for expected losses on non-cancellable purchase commitments. When these circumstances are present, we may also incur additional expense as we adjust our supply chain and product life-cycle planning.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our gross margin was primarily affected by our on-going transition to lower cost contract manufacturers in Asia.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Although our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to the assessment of our operating performance and trends. As part of our ongoing review of financial information related to our business, we regularly use non-GAAP measures, in particular, non-GAAP adjusted gross margin and non-GAAP adjusted operating expense as a percentage of revenue, as we believe they provide a meaningful insight into our business and useful information with respect to the results of our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, the comparable GAAP financial measures and are intended to supplement our financial results that are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The adjusted presentation below is used by management to measure our business performance and provides useful information regarding the trend in gross margin percentage based on revenue from sales of our products to customers. Excluding non-cash expense for stock based compensation, restructuring expense and depreciation and amortization, total operating expense decreased by 29.2% and 29.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, while revenue (decreased)/increased (0.8)% and 14.5% compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Total non-GAAP operating expense represented 53.7% and 43.6% of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to 75.2% and 70.6% of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the decrease in non-GAAP adjusted operating expense as a percentage of revenue was due to the decrease in operating expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the decrease in non-GAAP adjusted operating expense as a percentage of revenue was due to both the increase in revenue and the decrease in operating expense.

We believe 2013 was a transitional year as we adapted our supply chain and logistics processes to increase our capacity to develop innovative products and to better service our customers. We continued to make improvements in our forecasting and finished goods inventory management, continued the transition of our manufacturing processes to lower cost contract manufacturers and continued to enhance our new product innovation process.

We believe that the enhancements to our business initiated in 2013 improved our management and manufacturing infrastructure, expanded our ability to source components and manufacture our products internationally and positioned us for both organic and incremental growth. We believe these improvements will allow us to capitalize on the innovative, science backed and creative engineering talent at our Satellite Beach headquarters, which we believe provides us with a competitive advantage. In addition to servicing mainstream retail and commercial opportunities for their conventional lighting needs, we will look to expand our innovative product offerings across multiple industry verticals.

LED Lighting Industry Trends

There are a number of industry factors that affect our business and results of operations including, among others:

 

   

Rate and extent of adoption of LED lighting products. Our potential for growth will be driven by the rate and extent of adoption of LED lighting within the general illumination market and our ability to

 

25


Table of Contents
 

affect this rate of adoption. Although LED lighting is relatively new and faces significant challenges before achieving widespread adoption, it has grown in recent years. Innovations and advancements in LED lighting technology that improve product performance and reduce product cost continue to enhance the value proposition of LED lighting for general illumination and expand its potential commercial applications.

 

    External legislation and subsidy programs concerning energy efficiency. The United States and many countries in the European Union and elsewhere, among others, have already instituted, or have announced plans to institute, government regulations and programs designed to encourage or mandate increased energy efficiency in lighting. These actions include in certain cases banning the sale after specified dates of certain forms of incandescent lighting, which is advancing the adoption of more energy efficient lighting solutions such as LEDs. In addition, the growing demand for electricity is increasingly driving utilities and governmental agencies to provide financial incentives such as rebates for energy efficient lighting technologies in an effort to mitigate the need for investments in new electrical generation capacity. While this trend is generally positive for us, from time to time there have been political efforts in the United States to change or limit the effectiveness of these regulations.

 

    Intellectual property. LED market participants rely on patented and non-patented proprietary information relating to product development, manufacturing capabilities and other core competencies of their business. Protection and licensing of intellectual property is critical. Therefore, LED lighting industry participants often take steps such as additional patent applications, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements as well as other security measures. To enforce or protect intellectual property rights, market participants commonly commence or threaten litigation.

 

    Intense and constantly evolving competitive environment. Competition in the LED lighting market is intense. Many companies have made significant investments in LED lighting development and production equipment. Traditional lighting companies and new entrants are investing in LED based lighting products as LED adoption has gained momentum. Product pricing pressures is significant and market participants often undertake pricing strategies to gain or protect market share, enhance sales of their previously manufactured products and open new applications to LED based lighting solutions. To remain competitive, market participants must continuously increase product performance and reduce costs.

Recent Events

On August 14, 2014, we issued 2,000 units of our securities (the “Series J Securities”) to PCA LSG Holdings, LLC (“PCA Holdings”) for aggregate proceeds of $2.0 million, with each Series J Security consisting of (i) one share of our Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series J Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 2,650 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “Series J Warrants”).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and consolidated results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based upon historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: (i) they require us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and (ii) different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known.

We believe that our critical accounting policies relate to our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 contains a discussion of these critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2013.

Revenue

Revenue decreased $165,000, or 0.8%, to $19.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $20.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in revenue was primarily a result of decreased sales in the current period to customers other than The Home Depot. We experienced a $4.7 million increase in sales to The Home Depot for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013, with a $4.8 million offsetting decrease in sales to multiple other customers.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold decreased $891,000, or 4.5%, to $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $19.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to the corresponding decrease in sales during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and the impact of our on-going transition to lower cost contract manufacturers in Asia during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 94.4% (or a gross margin of 5.6%) as compared to 98.0% (or a gross margin of 2.0%) for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue was primarily affected by our on-going transition to lower cost contract manufacturers in Asia during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Selling, Distribution and Administrative

Selling, distribution and administrative expense decreased $3.2 million, or 24.3%, to $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 50.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 66.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in selling, distribution and administrative expense was primarily due to a $990,000 decrease in professional fees, a $749,000 decrease in facilities and personnel costs due to the winding down of our operations in Mexico, India and the Netherlands, a $705,000 reduction in advertising and promotions expense and a $671,000 decrease in unbillable freight as we continue to focus on reducing our operating expense.

Research and Development

Research and development expense decreased $1.2 million, or 44.3%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 7.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 13.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in research and development expense was primarily due to a $983,000 decrease in personnel related expense due to the workforce reductions in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a $120,000 decrease in prototyping, external testing and tooling expense as we continued our efforts to reduce our costs.

Restructuring

Restructuring expense decreased $29,000, or 97.3%, to $1,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Restructuring expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of $1,000 related to the winding down of our Indian subsidiary. Restructuring expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of $30,000 of miscellaneous costs incurred in closing our Mexico and Australia facilities.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.0 million, or 50.6%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily a result of the impairment of manufacturing equipment and tools and molds during the year ended December 31, 2013 related to our 2013 restructuring efforts, which included a broad based reduction of facilities.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $1.2 million or 120.6%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $971,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the impact of the Medley Term Loan. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 consisted primarily of $2.0 million of interest expense and fees related to the Medley Term Loan and the Medley Delayed Draw Loan, including $138,000 non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the Pegasus Guaranty and $130,000 of interest expense and fees related to the FCC ABL. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was due primarily to the outstanding borrowings on the Wells Fargo ABL, which we originally entered into in November 2010 with Wells Fargo. The Wells Fargo ABL was supported by the Ares Letter of Credit Facility and consisted of $687,000 of interest related to the Ares Letter of Credit Facility and $280,000 of interest expense and fees related to the Wells Fargo ABL.

(Increase) Decrease in Fair Value of Liabilities under Derivative Contracts

Between January 3, 2014 and March 7, 2014, we issued an aggregate of 17,475 Series J Securities. The Series J Warrants, issued as part of the Series J Securities were accounted for as liabilities through April 14, 2014, the effective date of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation increasing the authorized number of shares of Common Stock (the “Charter Amendment”), at which point the Series J Warrants were deemed equity instruments. While the Series J Warrants were accounted for as a liability their fair value was determined using the Black Scholes valuation method. The change in fair value of the Series J Warrants was $994,000 for the period from April 1, 2014 to April 14, 2014, which was included in the (increase) decrease in fair value of liabilities under derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

On February 19, 2014, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Medley Loan Agreement, we issued a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to each of Medley and Medley Opportunity Fund II LP (the “Medley Warrants”). The Medley Warrants were accounted for as a liability and their fair value was determined using the Black Scholes valuation method. Pegasus Capital Partners IV, L.P. and Pegasus Capital Partners V, L.P. (collectively, the “Pegasus Guarantors”) have agreed to provide a guaranty of our obligations under the Medley Loan Agreement in favor of Medley (the “Pegasus Guaranty”). As

Table of Contents

consideration for the Pegasus Guaranty, on February 19, 2014, we issued a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to each of the Pegasus Guarantors (the “Pegasus Guaranty Warrants”). The Pegasus Guaranty Warrants were accounted for as a liability and their fair value was determined using the Black Scholes valuation method. The fair value of the outstanding Medley Warrants and the Pegasus Guaranty Warrants decreased by $428,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This change in fair value is impacted by a number of factors, including changes in the trading price of our Common Stock and changes in risk-free interest rates.

On September 11, 2013, we issued shares of our Series J Preferred Stock to LSGC Holdings II LLC (“Holdings II”) and certain other purchasers and issued a warrant to Holdings II (the “Pegasus Warrant”). The Pegasus Warrant was accounted for as a liability and its fair value was determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method. On May 25, 2012, we issued shares of our Series H Convertible Preferred Stock to RW LSG Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Riverwood LSG Management Holdings LLC and Riverwood Capital Partners L.P. (collectively with their affiliates, “Riverwood”), and certain other purchasers and issued warrants to Riverwood (the “Riverwood Warrants”). The Riverwood Warrants were accounted for as a liability and the fair value was determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method. The fair value of the outstanding Pegasus Warrant and the Riverwood Warrants decreased by $562,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and decreased by $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. These changes in fair value are impacted by a number of factors, including the change of the strike price of the Riverwood Warrants due to the issuance of the Series J Preferred Stock and Series J Warrants, changes in the trading price of our Common Stock and changes in risk-free interest rates.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net increased $135,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to other income of $45,000 from other expense of $90,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 consisted primarily of a $38,000 foreign exchange gain and $7,000 of miscellaneous income. Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 consisted primarily of an $110,000 foreign exchange loss and $6,000 in late payment fees, partially offset by $26,000 of miscellaneous income.

Revenue

Revenue increased $5.8 million, or 14.5%, to $45.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $40.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of a $15.4 million increase in sales to The Home Depot for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013, with a $9.6 million offsetting decrease in sales to multiple other customers.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased $4.2 million, or 11.2%, to $41.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $37.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in cost of goods sold was partially due to the corresponding increase in sales during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as well as the impact of our on-going transition to lower cost contract manufacturers in Asia.

Table of Contents

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 91.7% (or gross margin of 8.3%) as compared to 94.3% (or gross margin of 5.7%) for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue was primarily affected by the impact of our on-going transition to lower cost contract manufacturers in Asia during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Selling, Distribution and Administrative

Selling, distribution and administrative expense decreased $7.1 million, or 27.0%, to $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $26.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 42.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 66.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in selling, distribution and administrative expense was primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in personnel related expense due to the workforce reductions in the fourth quarter of 2013, a $1.7 million decrease in facilities and personnel costs due to the winding down of our operations in Mexico, India and the Netherlands, a $951,000 decrease in unbillable freight, a $867,000 decrease in professional fees, a $704,000 reduction in advertising and promotions expense and a $688,000 reduction in commission to agents, due to special promotions offered in the first quarter of 2013 that were not repeated in 2014 as we continue to focus on reducing our operating expense.

Research and Development

Research and development expense decreased $2.1 million, or 40.2%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 6.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 12.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in research and development expense was primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in personnel related expense due to the workforce reductions in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a $336,000 decrease in prototyping, external testing and tooling expense as we continued our efforts to reduce our costs.

Restructuring Expense

Restructuring expense increased $77,000 to $206,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $129,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Restructuring expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of $182,000 in severance and termination benefits related to additional headcount reductions in the United States and a net charge of $114,000 related to the final liquidation of our Australian subsidiary, partially offset by a reduction in estimated costs related to the winding down of our Indian subsidiary. Restructuring expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of $99,000 related to the termination of our lease in Mexico and $30,000 for miscellaneous costs incurred in closing both our Mexico and Australia entities.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.2 million, or 51.6%, to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and decreased as a percentage of revenue to 4.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 10.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily a result of the impairment of manufacturing equipment and tools and molds during the year ended December 31, 2013 related to our 2013 restructuring efforts, which included a broad based reduction of facilities.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $1.6 million, or 88.7%, to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the impact of the Medley Term Loan and the Medley Delayed Draw Loan. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of $2.7 million of interest expense and fees related to the Medley Term Loan and the Medley Delayed Draw Loan, including $200,000 non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the Pegasus Guaranty, $264,000 of interest expense and fees related to the Wells Fargo ABL, $426,000 of interest expense related to the Ares Letter of Credit Facility and $130,000 of interest expense and fees related to the FCC ABL. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of $1.3 million of interest related to the Ares Letter of Credit Facility and $494,000 of interest expense and fees related to the Wells Fargo ABL.

(Increase) Decrease in Fair Value of Liabilities under Derivative Contracts

Table of Contents

Between January 3, 2014 and March 7, 2014, we issued an aggregate of 17,475 Series J Securities. The Series J Warrants were accounted for as liabilities through April 14, 2014, the effective date of the Charter Amendment, at which point the Series J Warrants were deemed equity instruments. While the Series J Warrants were accounted for as a liability their fair value was determined using the Black Scholes valuation method. The change in fair value of the Series J Warrants was $25.1 million for the period from date of issuance of the Series J Warrants to April 14, 2014, which was included in the (increase) decrease in fair value of liabilities under derivative contracts in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. This change in fair value is impacted primarily by the valuation of the Series J Warrants as of March 31, 2014 based on the Black Scholes valuation method as compared to fair value at date of issuance based on an allocation of the cash received for the Series J Securities between the Series J Preferred Stock and the Series J Warrants.

On February 19, 2014, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Medley Loan Agreement, we issued the Medley Warrants. The Medley Warrants were accounted for as a liability and their fair value was determined using the Black Scholes valuation method. As consideration for the Pegasus Guaranty, on February 19, 2014, we issued Pegasus Guaranty Warrants. The Pegasus Guaranty Warrants were accounted for as a liability and their fair value was determined using the Black Scholes valuation method. The fair value of the outstanding Medley Warrants and the Pegasus Guaranty Warrants decreased by $271,000 for the period from February 19, 2014 (the date of issuance of the Medley and Pegasus Guaranty Warrants) to June 30, 2014. This change in fair value is impacted by a number of factors, including changes in the trading price of our Common Stock and changes in risk-free interest rates.

On September 11, 2013, we issued shares of our Series J Preferred Stock to Holdings II and certain other purchasers and issued the Pegasus Warrant. The Pegasus Warrant was accounted for as a liability and its fair value was determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method. On May 25, 2012, we issued the Riverwood Warrants. The Riverwood Warrants were accounted for as a liability and the fair value was determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method. The fair value of the outstanding Pegasus Warrant and the Riverwood Warrants increased by $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and decreased by $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These changes in fair value are impacted by a number of factors, including the change of the strike price of the Riverwood Warrants due to the issuance of the Series J Preferred Stock and Series J Warrants, changes in the trading price of our Common Stock and changes in risk-free interest rates.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net increased $187,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to net income of $102,000 from net expense of $85,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of an $82,000 foreign exchange gain and $21,000 of miscellaneous income. Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of a $70,000 foreign exchange loss and $47,000 in late payment fees, partially offset by $32,000 of miscellaneous income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We continue to experience significant net losses as well as negative cash flows from operations, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $786.5 million and stockholders’ deficit of $453.3 million as of June 30, 2014. Our cash expenditures primarily relate to procurement of inventory and payment of salaries, benefits and other operating costs. Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been borrowings from Wells Fargo and currently Medley and sales of Common Stock and Preferred Stock to, and short-term loans from, affiliates of Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Pegasus Capital”), including Pegasus Partners IV, LSGC Holdings LLC, Holdings II and PCA Holdings, which together with its affiliates, is the Company’s controlling stockholder. While affiliates of Pegasus Capital have led many of our capital raises, the offerings of our Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock and Series J Preferred Stock also involved parties other than Pegasus Capital and its affiliates.

On February 19, 2014, we entered into the Medley Delayed Draw Loan and the $30.5 million Medley Term Loan. We utilized proceeds from the Medley Term Loan to repay our outstanding obligations under the Wells Fargo ABL and the Ares Letter of Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $750,000 and an additional $3.0 million in restricted cash subject to a cash collateral dominion agreement pursuant to the Medley Term Loan. The FCC ABL provides us with a maximum borrowing capacity of $22.5 million, which capacity is equal to the sum of (A) 85% of our eligible accounts receivable and (B) the lesser of (a) $10 million and (b) the sum of (x) the lesser of (1) 65% of the dollar value of certain eligible inventory and (2) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of such eligible

inventory, (y) 65% of certain other inventory and (z) the lesser of (1) $4.5 million and (2) the lesser of 65% of the dollar value or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory that is in-transit, minus (ii) the sum of reserves established by First Capital and the amount of outstanding letter of credit obligations (collectively, the “Borrowing Base”). We are at all times required to maintain (i) a Borrowing Base that exceeds FCC ABL and (ii) $3.0 million in restricted cash, pursuant to the Medley Loan Agreement. We are required to comply with certain specified EBITDA requirements, maintain a specified lamp sourcing percentage and comply with maximum capital expenditure limits.

We continue to face challenges in our efforts to achieve positive cash flows from operations and profitability. Our ability to meet our obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon establishing profitable operations and raising additional capital through public or private financing, as well as the continued support of our existing investors. Our current business plan includes a focus on increasing revenue by updating and expanding our product offerings and capitalizing on the known product needs of our existing customers, as well as improving gross margins by significantly leveraging contract manufacturers in Asia and reducing operating costs, primarily through the restructuring initiated in 2013 and continuing in 2014. Future financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In addition, future financings involving the issuance of equity securities may be dilutive to our current stockholders.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities is net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities was $23.1 million and $28.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included certain non-cash reconciliation items comprised primarily of a $27.5 million increase in fair value of warrants, $2.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, $2.1 million in depreciation and amortization, $1.5 million in amortization of debt issuance costs, accretion and interest accrual on the FCC ABL, Medley Delayed Draw Loan and the Medley Term Loan and a $1.1 million inventory write-down. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash used in operating activities included certain non-cash reconciliation items comprised primarily of $4.3 million in depreciation and amortization and $3.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, offset by a $3.4 million decrease in fair value of warrants.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to changes in working capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, inventories increased $6.1 million, prepaid expenses increased $740,000 and accrued expense and other liabilities decreased $601,000, partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in accounts receivable.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities primarily relates to the purchase of property and equipment and capitalized patents. Net cash used in investing activities was $349,000 and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in our capital expenditures as we focused on cost saving measures.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities has historically been composed of net proceeds from various debt facilities and the issuance of Common Stock and preferred stock. Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.8 million and $24.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included proceeds of $29.8 million on the Medley

Term Loan and the issuance of Series J Securities for aggregate proceeds of $17.5 million, partially offset by net payments on our lines of credit and other short term borrowings, including the net repayment of $32.7 million on the Wells Fargo ABL, the Ares Letter of Credit Facility, the Medley Revolver and the FCC ABL, $3.2 million in debt issuance costs and $485,000 in fees and commissions paid in connection with the issuance of the Series J Securities.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
