Revolution Lighting Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of presentation—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Revolution Lighting Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the dates and periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not necessarily repeat disclosures that would substantially duplicate disclosures included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and details of accounts that have not changed significantly in amount or composition.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes and other information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending on December 31, 2014 or for any other future period.

Business—Revolution Lighting Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Revolution” or the “Company”) design, manufacture, market and sell high-performance, commercial grade, light emitting diodes (“LED”) replacement lamps, LED fixtures and LED-based signage, channel-letter and contour lighting products, as well as conventional lighting products. The Company sells these products under the Value Lighting, Seesmart, Array, CMG, Lumificient and Relume brand names. The Company generates revenue by selling lighting products for use in the commercial market segment, which include vertical markets such as federal, state and local governments, industrial and commercial facilities, multifamily real estate construction, hospitality, institutional, educational, healthcare and signage markets. The Company markets and distributes its products through networks of distributors, independent sales agencies and representatives, and electrical supply companies.

On March 8, 2013, Lighting Integration Technologies, LLC (“LIT”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired certain assets of Elite LED Solutions, Inc. (“Elite”). LIT is headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

On August 22, 2013, the Company purchased all the equity interests of Relume Technologies, Inc. (“Relume”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2013. Relume is headquartered in Oxford Township, Michigan.

On November 15, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Tri-State DE LLC (“Tri-State”), a distributor of Seesmart products. Tri-State is headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut.

On April 17, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Value Lighting Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Value Lighting”), a supplier of lighting solutions to the multifamily residential market. Value Lighting is headquartered in Marietta, Georgia with facilities in Marietta, Georgia, Dallas, Texas, Houston, Texas and Beltsville, Maryland.

The Company’s operations comprise two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Lighting Fixtures and Lamps and the Lighting Signage and Media. The Lighting Fixtures and Lamps reportable segment includes the Seesmart business, the Relume business, the LIT business, the Tri-State business and the Value Lighting business. The Lighting Signage and Media reportable segment is comprised of the Lumificient business. Effective January 1, 2014 the Media business of Relume, included in the Lighting Fixtures and Lamps segment since the acquisition of Relume, was transferred to Lumificient and is now included in the Lighting Signage and Media reportable segment.

Liquidity—At June 30, 2014, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $1.7 million and current assets of $34.1 million. For the six months ended June 30 2014 and 2013, the Company reported negative cash flows from operations of approximately $7.9 million and approximately $5.2 million respectively. Cash used for operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 included $0.7 million and $2.6 million paid for acquisition related costs and severance and related costs, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company used cash for operations of approximately $8.1 million, which included approximately $3.6 million cash paid for acquisition related costs and severance and transition costs. At June 30, 2014, the Company had working capital of approximately $3.5 million, excluding cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million compared to negative working capital of approximately $3.5 million, excluding cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million at December 31, 2013. The improvement in working capital reflects the impact of the acquisition of Value Lighting and the impact of the financing transactions described below. At June 2014 the Company had long term debt of $5.7 million and short term debt of $1.1 million (included in other current liabilities.)

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued convertible redeemable preferred stock to RVL 1, LLC (“RVL”) for cash of approximately $10.0 million and common stock to unaffiliated investors for approximately $5 million in cash and borrowed approximately $0.9 million under an accounts receivable financing facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company borrowed $17.9 million from affiliates of its controlling shareholder for general corporate purposes including $10.8 million used to fund the cash portion of the consideration for the acquisition of Value Lighting. On June 30, 2014, the Company issued Series G preferred stock of $18.0 million to affiliates of its controlling stockholder in exchange for notes payable of approximately $12.6 million, including accrued interest, and Series F preferred stock of $5.4 million, including accrued dividends. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company exchanged outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2014 for a new consolidated note aggregating to $5.7 million bearing interest at 9% and maturing on April 1, 2016. Subsequent to June 30, 2014 affiliates of the controlling stockholder advanced $0.7 million to the Company.

The Company expects continuing support from its controlling stockholder and believes it has adequate resources to meet its cash requirements in the foreseeable future. The Company faces challenges in order to achieve profitability and there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain positive cash flows from operations or profitability. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to establish profitable operations or raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financing, or other sources of financing to fund operations, as well as support from our controlling stockholder. There can be no assurance such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, or that any financing transaction will not be dilutive to the Company’s current stockholders.

Principles of consolidation—The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Revolution Lighting Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Value Lighting, Lumificient, Seesmart, Relume, LIT and Tri-State. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable and inventories, warranty obligations, purchase price allocation of acquired businesses, impairment of long lived assets and goodwill, valuation of financial instruments, income taxes, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition—The Company recognizes revenue for its products upon shipment or delivery to customers in accordance with the respective contractual arrangements, provided no significant obligations remain and collection is probable. For sales that include customer acceptance terms, revenue is recorded after customer acceptance. It is the Company’s policy that all sales are final. Requests for returns are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Pursuant to agreements with distributors, which provide the distributors with the rights to purchase and resell inventory, the Company receives upfront fees for ongoing support obligations during the term of the agreement. The Company amortizes such fees over the term of the contracts, which range from three to ten years. Unamortized distributor fees are included in deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company from time to time enters into multiple element arrangements, primarily the delivery of products and installation services. The Company allocates the sales value to each element based on its best estimate of the selling price and recognizes revenues in accordance with the relevant standard for each element.

Sales taxes included in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to approximately $603,000 and $522,000, respectively.

Warranties and product liability—The Company’s LED products typically carry a warranty that ranges from one to seven years and includes replacement of defective parts. A warranty reserve is recorded for the estimated costs associated with warranty expense related to recorded sales, which is included within accrued liabilities. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

Fair value measurements—The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2014. The Company uses the market approach to measure fair value for its Level 1 financial assets and liabilities, which includes cash equivalents of $1,702,000 and $1,757,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The respective carrying value of certain balance sheet financial instruments approximates its fair value. These financial instruments include cash, trade receivables, related party payables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings. Fair values were estimated to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature and they are receivable or payable on demand.

The estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations and reporting units and long-lived assets used in the related asset impairment tests utilize inputs classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company used Level 1 and Level 2 inputs to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative related to the Series E preferred stock. The Company used Level 2 inputs to value the Series D convertible preferred stock taking into account a lack of marketability discount, as well as the market value of the common shares in which the preferred stock can be converted on the issuance date. Such inputs are also utilized to value contingent consideration related to acquisitions.

Derivative financial instrumentsThe Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible preferred stock and convertible promissory note instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results.

Freestanding warrants issued by the Company in connection with the issuance or sale of debt and equity instruments are considered to be derivative instruments, and are evaluated and accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.

Beneficial conversion and warrant valuation—In accordance with FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” the Company records a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of convertible debt or preferred stock instruments that have conversion features at fixed rates that are in-the-money when issued. The BCF for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value is generally calculated at the commitment date as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock or other securities into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. If certain other securities, such as warrants, are issued with the convertible security, the proceeds are allocated among the different components. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible security is divided by the contractual number of the conversion shares to determine the effective conversion price, which is used to measure the BCF. The effective conversion price is used to compute the intrinsic value. The value of the BCF is limited to the basis that is initially allocated to the convertible security.

Cash equivalents—Temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable—Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of certain customers and specifically identified amounts that it believes to be uncollectible. Recovery of bad debt amounts previously written off is recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense in the period the payment is collected. If the Company’s actual collection experience changes, revisions to its allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. The following summarizes the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods indicated:

Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. A reserve is recorded for any inventory deemed excessive or obsolete.

Property and equipment—Property and equipment are stated at cost or the estimated fair value if acquired as part of a business combination. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

 

     Estimated useful lives

Machinery and equipment

   3-7 years

Furniture and fixtures

   5-7 years

Computers and software

   3-7 years

Motor vehicles

   5 years

Leasehold improvements

   Lesser of lease term or estimated useful life

Intangible assets and goodwill—Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. The Company performs an annual impairment assessment for goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by considering both the income approach and market approaches. The fair values calculated under the income approach and market approaches are weighted based on circumstances surrounding the reporting unit. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, the Company relies on the capital asset pricing model approach, which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publicly traded stocks, the Company’s risk relative to the overall market, the Company’s size and industry and other Company specific risks. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approaches use key multiples from guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

Table of Contents

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in assumptions and estimates could cause the Company to perform goodwill impairment tests prior to scheduled annual impairment tests scheduled in the fourth quarter.

Long-lived assets—The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that an asset may not be recoverable. The long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets are written down to the estimated fair value.

Deferred rent—The Company accounts for certain operating leases containing predetermined fixed increases of the base rental rate during the lease term as rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has reported the difference between the amounts charged to operations and amounts payable under the leases as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Shipping and handling costs—Shipping and handling costs related to the acquisition of goods from vendors are included in cost of sales.

Research and development—Research and development costs to develop new products are charged to expense as incurred.

Income taxes—Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences. Such temporary differences result from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, and has not recognized a liability pursuant to that standard. In addition, a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there are no unrecognized benefits since the date of adoption. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

The Company has provided a full valuation allowance related to income tax benefits resulting from losses incurred and accumulated on operations (“NOLs”). The NOLs are subject to limitations under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company has analyzed the limitations and their impact and has recognized deferred tax assets for those NOLs that are not subject to limitations. A December 31,2013 the Company recognized a full valuation allowance related to its net deferred tax assets, and the adjustments to the deferred tax assets related to the NOLs were offset by a corresponding adjustment to the valuation allowance.

In connection with the acquisition of Value Lighting in 2014, the Company recorded net deferred tax liabilities of $5.993 million, primarily resulting from the recognition of amortizable intangible assets at the date of acquisition. These net deferred tax credits can be used to reduce net deferred tax assets for which the Company had provided a valuation allowance. Accordingly, the valuation allowance has been reduced by a corresponding amount during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Stock-based compensation—The Company recognizes the cost of employee or director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements, which is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (typically, the vesting period).

The Company values restricted stock awards to employees at the quoted market price on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of option awards issued under its stock option plans on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted below. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of its common stock. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and post-vesting forfeitures. For shares that vest contingent upon achievement of certain performance criteria, an estimate of the probability of achievement is applied in the

Table of Contents

estimate of fair value. If the goals are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 52,500 options were granted on April 22, 2014: 35,000 were incentive stock options to employees and 17,500 were non-qualified stock options to consultants. The strike price is $3.02. The options vest annually over three years beginning April 22, 2015. The options have a 10-year expiry period, otherwise, options are terminated when an employee is terminated for cause or 3 months following when an employee ceases to be engaged by the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company computed expense for each group utilizing the following assumptions:

 

     Six Months Ended
June 30, 2014

Expected volatility

   75.8 – 81.1 %

Weighted-average volatility

   76.0 %

Risk-free interest rate

   0.4 – 0.9 %

Expected dividend

   0 %

Expected life in years

   3.5 – 8.6 Years

The Company from time to time enters into arrangements with non-employee service providers pursuant to which it issues restricted stock vesting over specified periods for time-based services. These arrangements are accounted for under the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Pursuant to this standard, the restricted stock is valued at the quoted price at the date of vesting. Prior to vesting, compensation is recorded on a cumulative basis based on the quoted market price at the end of the reporting period.

Loss per share—Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares and the conversion of outstanding convertible securities. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the Company had 20.5 million and 22.4 million common equivalent shares, respectively, which may be issued, primarily pursuant to convertible securities, which were not included in the computation of loss per share at June 30, 2014 and 2013 because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 such common equivalent shares amounted to 0.3 million.

Recent accounting pronouncements—In May 2014 the financial Accounting Standards Board issued the standard “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which supersedes existing revenue recognition standards including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. At this time, the Company has not determined the effect that this accounting pronouncement will have on its financial statements.

 

2. Acquisitions:

Value Lighting—On April 17, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Value Lighting a supplier of lighting solutions to the multifamily residential market. The purchase consideration aggregated to $39.3 million and consisted of cash of $10.6 million funded with a loan from an affiliate, an unconditional obligation to issue an aggregate of 8,468,192 shares of common stock in four installments at six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months, valued at $20.9 million, and contingent consideration payable in cash or common stock at the option of the Company aggregating up to a total of $11 million preliminarily valued at $7.8 million, if certain revenue and EBITDA targets are achieved by Value Lighting for 2014 and 2015. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the closing working capital. The Company acquired Value Lighting for its presence in the multifamily residential market and construction, the experience of the management team, its customer base, operational and business development synergies.

The following amounts represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Value Lighting acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible assets acquired was allocated to intangible assets of approximately $19.8 million and goodwill of approximately $17.0 million. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities including income taxes and contingencies will be completed within the one-year measurement period from the date of acquisition as required by the FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”

In connection with the acquisition, Value Lighting formalized a leasing arrangement pursuant to which Value Lighting leased its warehouse in Marietta, Georgia from Aldean Properties LLC., an entity owned by the sellers. Since Aldean was not acquired by the Company, the terms of the lease were negotiated between the Sellers and the Company and approximate market rates. The lease does not include any residual value guaranties or purchase options.

The merger agreement provides for the sellers to indemnify the Company for undisclosed liabilities, including guarantees. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company became aware that Value Lighting was a guarantor, together with the sellers individually, of debt encumbering the property with a carrying amount of approximately $2.4 million. There was no intention to have the Company assume the guarantee. Accordingly, the Company notified the sellers who executed an agreement jointly and severally indemnifying and holding Value Lighting and the Company harmless from and against any losses and expenses relating to the guarantee.

Tri-State—On November 15, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Tri-State, a distributor of Seesmart products, for cash at closing of approximately $1.8 million (including a preliminary working capital adjustment), an obligation to pay an additional $1.5 million in cash originally due in six months bearing interest at 5% annually, 543,052 shares of common stock valued at approximately $1.6 million, of which one half were issued at closing, and an obligation to issue up to 365,628 additional shares contingent on Tri-State achieving specified revenue targets within one year following the acquisition date, which has been initially valued at approximately $0.9 million. The deferred consideration payment obligation remains outstanding. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired Tri-State debt free and cash free. The Company acquired Tri-State for its management team, its client base in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and operational and business development synergies. The purchase price exceeds the fair value of the tangible assets acquired and reflects the expected growth of the business.

The acquired intangibles are being amortized consistent with the period the underlying cash flows are generated. All of the goodwill is included in the Lighting Fixtures and Lamps reportable segment. Goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill was retroactively adjusted by $25,000 to reflect a working capital adjustment finalized in 2014.

RelumeOn August 22, 2013 the Company purchased all the equity interests of Relume pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2013 (the “Relume Merger Agreement”) for $5 million in cash (approximately $4.3 million net of an estimated working capital adjustment) and 2,174,000 shares of common stock valued at approximately $7.3 million based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the closing date. The purchase price is subject to further adjustment to the extent that the working capital (as defined in the merger agreement) at closing, which has not been finalized, differs from the amount specified in the agreement. Any such adjustment will result in a corresponding adjustment to the recorded goodwill. The cash portion of the merger consideration was funded from the proceeds of the issuance of Series F Senior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to RVL for $5 million in cash, of which approximately $0.7 million was retained for working capital purposes. Under the terms of the Relume Merger Agreement, the Company acquired the Relume business debt free, except for capital lease obligations.

Relume is a manufacturer and distributor of efficient, environmentally friendly LED lighting products and control systems. Relume’s technology is used in municipal lighting, commercial signage, outdoor advertising, transportation and US military applications. Relume serves outdoor LED markets, including municipal street and roadway lights, parking lots and garages, pedestrian areas, buildings, and outdoor advertising. More than 75% of Relume’s business consists of outdoor lighting, with the remaining split between smart grid control systems and LED lighting for media and signage. The Company acquired Relume with the goal of realizing synergies, expanding its product offerings and for Relume’s developed technology. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of tangible assets because of synergies and expected growth of the business.

The following amounts represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Relume acquisition. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded a provision for unfavorable unconditional purchase commitments for inventory components of $0.45 million and in accordance with the relevant standard, retroactively adjusted goodwill. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities including income taxes and contingencies will be completed within the one-year measurement period from the date of acquisition as required by the FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”

All of the goodwill initially was included in the Lighting Fixtures and Lamps reportable segment. Effective January 1, 2014, as a result of transferring the Relume’s Media business to Lumificient, goodwill of $1.4 million was allocated to the Lighting Signage and Media reportable segment. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

EliteOn March 8, 2013, LIT, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired certain assets of Elite for $500,000 in cash and 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for consideration valued at $356,250 contingent on the fulfillment of customer revenue contracts acquired. Concurrently, the Company entered into a five-year sales consulting agreement with the principals of the sellers pursuant to which the Company was obligated to pay a $20,000 monthly fee plus additional fees based on achieving specified sales targets and 3% of the net profits of LIT as defined. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the sellers, which vest over the five-year term of the agreement.

On October 9, 2013, the Company notified Elite LED Solutions, Inc. of the termination of the sales consulting agreement and, accordingly, cancelled the 850,000 unvested shares of common stock. As a result, no stock based compensation expense has been recognized related to these shares.

The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination and the issuance of the common shares vesting over five years has been accounted for as compensation pursuant to ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The Company acquired the business primarily for the unfulfilled customer revenue contracts acquired and the estimated operating synergies expected to be realized with Seesmart. The following summarizes the purchase price allocation to the acquired assets::

7. Preferred Stock:

At June 30, 2014, the Company is authorized to issue 5 million shares of preferred stock.

Series B Preferred StockThe Company has designated 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).

On September 12, 2012, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Series B Investment Agreement”) with RVL, an affiliate of Aston. The closing of the investment occurred on September 25, 2012. In consideration of cash of $6 million (the “Investment”), the Company issued to RVL 600,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $0.13, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (the “Series B Conversion Price”). The Series B Conversion Price was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 2, 2012, the date the Company entered into the letter of intent with respect to the Series B Investment. The proceeds from the Investment were used to extinguish the Exchange Notes and related accrued interest (see Note 8), to fund a settlement payment in connection with the settlement of the Philips lawsuit, to pay the fees and expenses in connection with the Investment and for working capital purposes.

Table of Contents

After giving effect to the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and the other transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, the Investor owned 46,153,846 as-converted shares of common stock, or approximately 73% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Series B Investment resulted in a change in control of the Company. RVL is entitled to vote the Series B Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis with the Company’s common stock. During the fourth quarter of 2012, RVL converted 599,998 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into 46,153,692 shares of common stock.

The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $10 per share and will share ratably on an as-converted basis with the Company’s common stock in the payment of dividends and distributions. In addition, the Company is prohibited from taking certain actions specified in the Certificate of Designations with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

The Company has concluded that the Series B Preferred Stock is more akin to an equity-type instrument than a debt-type instrument. As the embedded conversion option in the Series B Preferred Stock is clearly and closely related to an equity-type host, the conversion option does not require classification and measurement as a derivative financial instrument.

A beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) is recorded when the consideration allocated to a convertible security, divided by the number of common shares into which the security converts, is below the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date. The Company’s common stock price on the date of the Series B Investment Agreement was $0.13 per share, which was equal to the Series B Conversion Price. As the Series B Investment Agreement included certain conditions for closing, the commitment date for the Investment was deemed to be the date the shares of Series B Preferred Stock was issued. On September 25, 2012, the closing date of the Series B Investment, the Company’s common stock price had increased to $0.59 per share. As a result of the increase in the Company’s common stock price between the date of the Series B Investment Agreement and the closing of the Series B Investment, the Company recognized a BCF. The value of the BCF is limited to the basis that is initially allocated to the convertible security. The Company received cash proceeds, net of transaction costs, totaling $5,195,000 for the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company allocated the entire net proceeds of $5,195,000 to the BCF, which was initially recorded in additional paid-in capital. The BCF was treated as a deemed dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock and was accreted to the Series B Preferred Stock using the effective interest method through the date of earliest conversion. As the Series B Preferred Stock is immediately convertible, the Company included a deduction of $5,195,000 in determining loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2012. The aforementioned deemed dividend had no impact on the Company’s stockholders’ equity.

The rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) would have normally required that the Company’s stockholders approve the Series B Investment prior to closing the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement. However, NASDAQ granted the Company an exception from this stockholder voting requirement under Listing Rule 5635(f), which provides that an exception may be granted when (i) the delay in securing stockholder approval would seriously jeopardize the financial viability of the enterprise and (ii) reliance on such exception has been expressly approved by the audit committee of the board of directors (the “Board”) comprised solely of independent, disinterested directors. NASDAQ also granted the Company an exception from the voting rights requirements of Listing Rule 5640 and IM-5640 with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Series B Investment Agreement.

Series C Preferred Stock—The Company has designated 25,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).

On December 20, 2012, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Series C Investment Agreement”) with RVL, and closed the transactions contemplated by the Series C Investment Agreement (the “Series C Investment”). The Company issued to RVL 10,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, for cash of $10 million (the “Series C Investment”). The proceeds from the Series C Investment were used to fund the Seesmart acquisition, to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Series C Investment Agreement and the Seesmart Merger Agreement, and for working capital purposes.

The Series C Preferred Stock was initially non-voting and non-convertible. The Series C Preferred Stock became voting and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock effective May 15, 2013, following the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to the written consent of the majority stockholder of the Company, dated as of December 20, 2012, approving the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $0.6889, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (the “Series C Conversion Price”).

RVL has the right to appoint four members to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), with the size of the Board not to exceed eight members. RVL’s right to appoint four directors will decline proportionately to take into account subsequent material reductions in RVL’s ownership position in the Company. In addition, for so long as shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company will be prohibited from taking certain actions specified in the Series C Certificate of Designations without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, including, among other things, authorization of additional shares of capital stock, increases in the size of the Board, declaration of dividends, consummation of certain business combination transactions, and incurrence of indebtedness and liens.

The Series C Preferred Stock will have a liquidation preference per share equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 (subject to customary adjustments with respect to events affecting the Series C Preferred Stock the “Series C Stated Value”) plus accrued but unpaid dividends (the “Series E Liquidation Preference”) and (ii) such amount as would have been received had the Series C Preferred Stock converted into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation.

In the event of a change in control of the Company or a merger or recapitalization in which the Series C Preferred Stock is converted into property or securities other than shares of common stock, the Series C Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into common stock at a premium of 150% (if such event occurs prior to December 20, 2017) or 125% (if such event occurs on or after December 20, 2017) of the Series C Stated Value (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations) in place immediately prior to such event. Furthermore, from and after December 20, 2017, if the trading price of a share of common stock exceeds 200% of the Series C Conversion Price then in effect for any twenty (20) trading days in the immediately preceding thirty consecutive trading day period, the Company shall have the right to automatically convert the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock at the Series C Conversion Price.

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends payable at a rate per annum of 10% of the Series C Stated Value on the date of issuance (i.e. $1,000). Such dividends shall be payable through the issuance of additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock on each anniversary of the date of issuance, shall not be paid in cash, and will accrue and accumulate daily. Additionally, the Series C Preferred Stock shall share ratably on an as converted basis with the common stock in the payment of all other dividends and distributions. For the six months and the year ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company accrued dividends of approximately $502,000 and $1,014,000, respectively.

The Company has concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock is more akin to an equity-type instrument than a debt-type instrument. As the embedded conversion option in the Series C Preferred Stock is clearly and closely related to an equity-type host, the conversion option does not require classification and measurement as a derivative financial instrument. As the Company’s common stock price was less than the Series C Conversion Price on the issuance date, the Company has not recognized a BCF.

Series D Preferred StockThe Company designated 13,000 shares of preferred stock as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”).

On December 20, 2012, the Company issued 11,177 shares of newly created Series D Preferred Stock, as partial consideration in the Seesmart acquisition (see Note 2). In the first quarter of 2013, the Company issued the remaining 738 shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to the Seesmart Merger Agreement. The Series D Preferred Stock is non-voting and was initially non-convertible. The Series D Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $100 per share and will share ratably on an as-converted basis with the Company’s common stock in the payment of dividends and distributions. On May 15, 2013, all 11,915 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were automatically converted into 1,712,167 shares of common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $0.6959 (the “Series D Conversion Price”).

The Company has concluded that the Series D Preferred Stock is more akin to an equity-type instrument than a debt-type instrument. As the embedded conversion option in the Series D Preferred Stock is clearly and closely related to an equity-type host, the conversion option does not require classification and measurement as a derivative financial instrument. As the Company’s common stock price was less than the Series D Conversion Price on the issuance date, the Company did not recognized a BCF.

During 2013, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock were converted into shares of common stock in accordance with their terms.

Series E Preferred Stock—The Company has designated 10,000 shares of preferred stock as Series E Senior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”).

 

19


Table of Contents

On February 21, 2013, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to an investment agreement with RVL (the “Series E Investment Agreement”) for cash of $5 million. The Series E Preferred Stock is redeemable and convertible. The Series E Preferred Stock was initially non-voting and non-convertible and became voting and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock on May 15, 2013. The Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $1.17, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (the “Series E Conversion Price”).

In accordance with the Series E Certificate of Designations, the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock have the same Board representation and consent rights as the Series B Shares and Series C Shares. The Series E Preferred Stock will have a liquidation preference per share equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 (subject to customary adjustments with respect to events affecting the Series E Preferred Stock, the “Series E Stated Value”) plus accrued but unpaid dividends (the “Series E Liquidation Preference”) and (ii) such amount as would have been received had the Series E Preferred Stock converted into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation.

The Company has the option to redeem all or any part of the Series E Preferred Stock for cash at any time subject to RVL’s right to convert and require delivery of shares of common stock. The redemption price to be paid by the Company is equal to 110% of the Series E Liquidation Preference if the shares of Series E Preferred Stock are redeemed on or before the first anniversary of the date of the original issuance of shares of Series E Preferred Stock (the “Original Issue Date”), 105% of the Liquidation Preference if the Series E Preferred Stock redeemed after the first anniversary of the Original Issue Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date, and the Series E Liquidation Preference if the shares of Series E Preferred Stock are redeemed at any time thereafter.

At the option of the holders of two-thirds of the then-outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the Company must redeem the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock so requested for cash at the Series E Liquidation Preference. Such option can only be exercised on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date.

Each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends (the “Series E Dividend”) payable at a rate per annum of 5% of the Series E Stated Value then in effect (the “Series E Dividend Rate”). To the extent, funds are legally available and the Company is not contractually prohibited from paying such Series E Dividend, the Series E Dividend must be declared and paid from and including the Original Issue Date on each six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date. At the holder’s option, such dividends are payable through the issuance of additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock or in cash. To the extent, the Company is unable to pay any Series E Dividend (i.e. in the event funds are not legally available or the Company is contractually prohibited from making payment), any such unpaid Series E Dividend shall be cumulative and shall accrue and compound on a quarterly basis at the then applicable Dividend Rate. Such unpaid Series E Dividend shall be paid as soon as funds are legally available or as soon as the Company is no longer contractually prohibited from paying such Series E Dividend, as applicable. Additionally, the Series E Preferred Stock shall share ratably on an as-converted basis with the common stock in the payment of all other dividends and distributions. For the six months and year ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company accrued dividends of $126,000 and $218,000, respectively.

The Company has classified the Series E Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the financial statements as it is subject to mandatory redemption at the option of the holder. The Company has concluded that the Series E Preferred Stock is more akin to a debt-type instrument than an equity-type instrument. The embedded conversion option in the Series E Preferred Stock is not clearly and closely related to a debt-type host; however, it meets the criteria for classification as equity and therefore has not been separated from the host instrument. The redemption call by the issuer and the redemption put by the holder were deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore were not separated from the host instrument. The call by the issuer was exercisable at the balance sheet date, but was not deemed to be under the control of the Company since the principal holder of the Series E Preferred Stock holds the majority of the Company’s voting rights; accordingly the Series E Preferred Stock was accreted to the redemption amount in effect on the balance sheet date. As the Company’s common stock closing price immediately preceding the issuance date was equal to the Series E Conversion Price, the Company has not recognized a BCF.

Series F Preferred Stock—The Company designated 10,000 shares of preferred stock as Series F Senior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”).

On August 22, 2013, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to an investment agreement with RVL (the “Series F Investment Agreement”) for cash of $5 million. The Series F Preferred Stock is voting and redeemable. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $4.5881, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (the “Series F Conversion Price”).

Table of Contents

In accordance with the Series F Certificate of Designations, the holders of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock have the same Board representation and consent rights as the Series B, C and E Preferred Stock. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference per share equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 (subject to customary adjustments with respect to events affecting the Series F Preferred Stock, the “Series F Stated Value”) plus accrued but unpaid dividends (the “Series F Liquidation Preference”) and (ii) such amount as would have been received had the Series F Preferred Stock converted into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation.

The Company has the option to redeem all or any part of the Series F Preferred Stock for cash at any time subject to RVL’s right to convert and require delivery of shares of common stock. The redemption price to be paid by the Company is the Series F Liquidation Preference plus $100,000 if the shares of Series F Preferred Stock are redeemed on or before the fifth anniversary of the date of the original issuance of shares of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Original Issue Date”), or the Series F Liquidation Preference if the shares of Series F Preferred Stock are redeemed after the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date.

At the option of the holders of two-thirds of the then-outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, the Company must redeem the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock so requested for cash at the Series F Liquidation Preference. Such option can only be exercised on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date.

Each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends (the “Series F Dividend”) payable at a rate per annum of 7% of the Series F Stated Value then in effect (the “Series F Dividend Rate”). Such dividends shall be payable in cash or in kind; provided that the Company shall not pay Series F Dividends in kind through the issuance of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock to the extent that such issuance would require prior approval of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5636, and in lieu of such issuance shall make such dividend payment in cash. To the extent funds are legally available and the Company is not contractually prohibited from paying such Series F Dividend, the Series F Dividend must be declared and paid from and including the Original Issue Date on each six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date. At the holder’s option, such dividends are payable through the issuance of additional Series F Shares or in cash. To the extent the Company is unable to pay any Series F Dividend (i.e. in the event funds are not legally available or the Company is contractually prohibited from making payment), any such unpaid Series F Dividend shall be cumulative and shall accrue and compound on a quarterly basis at the then applicable Series F Dividend Rate. Such unpaid Series F Dividend shall be paid as soon as funds are legally available or as soon as the Company is no longer contractually prohibited from paying such Series F Dividend, as applicable. Additionally, the Series F Preferred Stock shall share ratably on an as-converted basis with the common stock in the payment of all other dividends and distributions. For the six months and year ended June 30, 2014, the Company accrued dividends of $176,000 and $129,000, respectively.

The Company has classified the Series F Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the financial statements as it is subject to mandatory redemption at the option of the holder. The Company has concluded that the Series F Preferred Stock is more akin to a debt-type instrument than an equity-type instrument. The embedded conversion option in the Series F Preferred Stock is not clearly and closely related to a debt-type host; however, it meets the criteria for classification as equity and therefore it has not been separated from the host instrument. The redemption call by the issuer and the redemption put by the holder were deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore were not separated from the host instrument. The call by the issuer was exercisable at the balance sheet date, but was not deemed to be under the control of the Company since the principal holder of the Series F Preferred Stock holds the majority of the Company’s voting rights; accordingly the Series E Preferred Stock was accreted to the redemption amount in effect on the balance sheet date. As the Company’s common stock closing price immediately preceding the issuance date was equal to the Series E Conversion Price, the Company has not recognized a BCF.

The Series F preferred stock was redeemed in connection with the exchange of Series F preferred stock for Series G preferred stock described below. Following the redemption, the Series F preferred stock was cancelled in June 2014.

Series G Preferred Stock—The Company designated 18,000 shares of preferred stock as Series G Senior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series G Preferred Stock”).

On June 30, 2014, Revolution entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Aston Capital, LLC (“Aston”) and RVL and closed the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to RVL 10,956 shares of Series G Preferred Stock in exchange for $10,956, the entire outstanding principal amount of, and the accrued and unpaid interest on, that certain promissory note, dated April 17, 2014. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company also issued to Aston 1,640 shares of Series G Preferred Stock in exchange for $1,640,085, a portion of the outstanding principal amount of, and the accrued and unpaid interest on, that certain promissory note, dated February 25, 2014. In addition, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to RVL 5,404 shares of

the Company’s newly-created Series G Senior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share in exchange for 5,000 shares (including accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) of the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock, held by RVL.

The Series G Preferred Stock is voting and convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the holder at a conversion price per share equal to $2.30 (the “Series G Conversion Price”).

In accordance with the Series G Certificate of Designations, the holders of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock have the same consent rights as the Series B, C and E Preferred Stock. The shares of Series G Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference per share equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 (subject to customary adjustments with respect to events affecting the Series G Preferred Stock, the (“Series G Stated Value”)) plus accrued but unpaid dividends (the “Series G Liquidation Preference”) and (ii) such amount as would have been received had the Series G Preferred Stock converted into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation.

For so long as shares of Series G Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company will be prohibited from taking certain actions specified in the Series G certificate of designations without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock, including, among other things, authorization of additional shares of capital stock, increases in the size of the Board, declaration of dividends, consummation of certain business combination transactions, and incurrence of indebtedness and liens.

The Series G Preferred Stock will have a liquidation preference per share equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 (subject to customary adjustments with respect to events affecting the Series G Preferred Stock) plus accrued but unpaid dividends (the “Series G Liquidation Preference”) and (ii) such amount as would have been received had the Series G Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation.

The Company has the option to redeem all or any part of the Series G Preferred Stock for cash at any time subject to the Investor’s right to convert and require delivery of shares of common stock. The redemption price to be paid by the Company is the Series G Liquidation Preference per share plus $900,000, if the Company redeems the Series G shares on or prior to the second anniversary of the date of the original issuance of shares of Series G Preferred Stock (the “Original Issue Date”), or the Series G Liquidation Preference, if the Company redeems the Series G shares after the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date. At the option of the holders of two-thirds (2/3rds) of the then-outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock, the Company must redeem the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock so requested for cash at the Series G Liquidation Preference. Such option can only be exercised on or after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date.

Each share of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends payable at a rate per annum of nine percent (9%) of the Series G Stated Value (as defined in the Series G Certificate of Designations) then in effect (the “Series G Dividend”). At the option of the holder, such dividends shall be payable either (i) in cash or (ii) in kind; provided, the Company shall not make any Series G dividend payments in kind through the issuance of additional Series G Preferred Stock to the extent (and only to the extent) such issuance would require the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5636, and in lieu of such issuance, the Company will make such Series G dividend payments in cash. To the extent, funds are legally available and the Company is not contractually prohibited from paying such Series G Dividend, the Series G Dividend must be declared and paid from and including the Original Issue Date on each six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date.

The Company has classified the Series G Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the financial statements as it is subject to mandatory redemption at the option of the holder. The Company has concluded that the Series G Preferred Stock is more akin to a debt-type instrument than an equity-type instrument. The embedded conversion option in the Series G Preferred Stock is not clearly and closely related to a debt-type host; however, it meets the criteria for classification as equity and therefore it has not been separated from the host instrument. The redemption call by the issuer and the redemption put by the holder were deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host contract and therefore were not separated from the host instrument.

As the Company’s common stock closing price immediately preceding the issuance date was equal to the Series G Conversion Price, the Company has not recognized a BCF.

The exchange transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and Series F preferred stock in exchange for the issuance of Series G Preferred Stock. The market value of the Series G Preferred Stock was estimated to approximate $18.4 million. The difference between the fair value of the preferred stock and its stated value was attributed to the difference between

the stated value of the Series F Preferred Stock exchanged for an equivalent amount of Series G Preferred Stock and its fair market value; accordingly, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $0.4 million to additional paid capital and in earnings applicable to common stockholders.

Liquidation Preferences—The following summarize the order of seniority of liquidation preference:

 

1. Series G preferred stock

 

2. Series E preferred stock

 

3. Series C preferred stock

 

4. Series B preferred stock

 

8. Stock-Based Compensation:

On September 18, 2003, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the “2003 Plan”) that provides for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, and reserved 450,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock for future issuance under the plan. The 2003 Plan was subsequently amended to increase the number of shares to 1,160,000. The option price of incentive stock options must be at least 100% of market value at the date of the grant and incentive stock options have a maximum term of ten years. Options granted typically vest ratably over a three-year period or based on achievement of performance criteria. The Company has granted selected executives and other key employees share option awards, whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various departmental and company-wide performance goals including sales targets and net profit targets. As of June 30, 2014, 398,535 shares of common stock were vested and exercisable under the 2003 Plan, while 53,167 shares remained unvested. In 2009, the Company amended the 2003 Plan to extend the post-service termination exercise period of non-statutory stock options granted to directors for their service to the Company as directors from three months after the director’s termination date to the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that no awards will be made pursuant to the 2003 Plan in the future.

At the stockholder meeting on May 15, 2013, shareholders approved the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) On May 12, 2014 the stockholders approved an amendment to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be awarded under the plan by 1,000,000 shares. Accordingly, an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued pursuant to the 2013 Plan to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. Awards under the plan may be in the form of stock options, which may constitute incentive stock options, or non-qualified stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance awards, stock bonus awards, share appreciation rights and other stock based awards. Stock options will be issued at an exercise price not less than 100% of the market value at the date of grant and expire no later than ten years after the date of grant. Stock awards typically vest over three years but vesting periods for non-employees may vest for longer periods or based on the achievement of performance goals.

9. Related Party Transactions:

Financings—In February 2014 the Company entered in an arrangement with Aston, an affiliate of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the company borrowed $3.5 million for general corporate purposes (the “February Note”). The borrowing bore interest at 9% annually and originally matured on April 1, 2015. The Company had the option to prepay the note at any time without penalty. In April 2014, the Company borrowed an additional $1 million from Aston for general corporate purposes on the same terms and conditions as the February Note (the “ April Note”). Also in April 2014 the company borrowed $10.8 million from RVL to fund the acquisition of Value Lighting (the “RVL Note”) which bears interest at 9% annually and originally matured on the earliest of April 1, 2015 or the date on which the Company received proceeds from any debt, factoring or other similar facility or equity securities in the commercial banking, private placement or public markets.

In June 2014, the company exchanged RVL Note of $10.8 million and $1.6 million of the February Note plus related accrued interest for an equivalent amount of Series G preferred stock.

In addition, Aston advanced an additional $ 2.7 million for general corporate purposes in four separate transactions during May and June 2014. In July 2014 the advances, the February note and the April Note were consolidated in a new promissory note with a principal amount of $5.7 million, bearing interest at 9% annually and matures on April 1, 2016. Company has the right to prepay the promissory note at any time. As of July 31, 2014, the Audit Committee ratified these advances and approved the issuance of a promissory note.

The Company has accrued interest on such borrowings of $38,000 at June 30, 2014 on debt outstanding at such date and recorded interest expense of $313,000 and $344,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Investment AgreementsThe Company has entered into four separate investment agreements and an Exchange Agreement with RVL, an affiliate of Aston and the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, whereby the Company issued to RVL Series B, C, E, F and G preferred stock. Cash received by the Company for the issuance for Series B, C, E, and F preferred stock aggregated to $26.0 million. Cash received for debt exchanged for Series G preferred stock aggregated to $12.5 million. The terms of the Series B, C, E, F and G preferred stock are described in note 7 of the financial statements. In addition, in 2013 an affiliate of RVL purchased 75,000 shares of common stock from the Company for $192,000 at the closing market price of the stock on the date purchased.

Customer FinancingIn 2013, Aston provided $9.9 million in financing to a related group of customers of the Company who used the proceeds to repay its obligations to the Company for the purchase of Company products. The Company has no obligations to Aston with respect to the financing arrangements between the customer and Aston. The Company’s obligations to the customer are limited to the standard warranty obligation on the products sold.

Management Agreement—On April 9, 2013, the Company ratified a management services agreement with Aston (the “Management Agreement”) to memorialize certain management services that Aston has been providing to the Company since RVL acquired majority control of the Company’s voting securities in September 2012. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, Aston provides consulting services in connection with financing matters, budgeting, strategic planning and business development, including, without limitation, assisting the Company in (i) analyzing the operations and historical performance of target companies; (ii) analyzing and evaluating the transactions with such target companies; (iii) conducting financial, business and operational due diligence, and (iv) evaluating related structuring and other matters. In consideration of the services provided by Aston under the Management Agreement, the Company issued 500,000 shares of restricted common stock to Aston to vest in three equal annual increments, with the first such vesting date being September 25, 2013. On April 21, 2014, the Company granted an additional 300,000 shares of restricted stock to Aston which vest in three annual installments with the first such vesting date being September 25, 2014. The Audit Committee of the Board will consider from time to time (at a minimum at such times when the Compensation Committee of the Board evaluates director compensation) whether additional compensation to Aston is appropriate given the nature of the services provided.

Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among other factors:

 

    our history of losses and that we may not be able to remain viable if we are unable to increase revenue, or raise capital, as needed if support from our controlling shareholder does not continue;

 

    the future issuance of additional shares of common stock and/or preferred stock could dilute existing stockholders;

 

    a substantial portion of our capital structure consists of convertible preferred stock which has a liquidation preference senior to our common stock and is convertible into shares of our common stock at prices that are less than current market values;

 

    we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of NASDAQ and, as a result, are exempt from certain corporate governance requirements that offer protections to stockholders of other NASDAQ-listed companies;

 

    our majority stockholder controls the outcome of all matters submitted for stockholder action, including the composition of our Board of Directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions;

 

    the risk that demand for our LED light bulbs fails to emerge as anticipated and the potential failure to make adjustments to our operating plan necessary as a result of any failure to forecast accurately;

 

    the risk that we will not be able to successfully integrate our acquisitions, including our recent acquisitions of Value Lighting, Tri-State DE LLC, Relume Technologies and Seesmart Technologies, resulting in losses and impairments;

 

    competition from larger companies in each of our product areas;

 

    dependence on suppliers and third-party manufacturers; and

 

    the risk that we may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or that infringement claims by others may subject us to significant costs even if the claims are invalid and that an adverse outcome in litigation could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to license disputed rights from others or require us to cease marketing or using certain products or technologies.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue is derived primarily from sales of lighting products. These products include of solid-state LED lighting fixtures and lamps, lighting systems and controls, as well as conventional lighting products. Revenue is subject to both quarterly and annual fluctuations and is impacted by the timing of individually large orders as well as delays in product orders or changes to the timing of shipments or deliveries. We sell our products pursuant to purchase orders and do not have any long-term contracts with our customers. We recognize revenue upon shipment or delivery to our customers in accordance with the respective contractual arrangements. The majority of our sales are to the North American market (which includes Canada, but excludes Mexico for our purposes), and we expect that region to continue to be a major source of revenue for us. However, we also derive a portion of our revenue from customers outside of the North American market. Substantially all of our revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars.

Cost of Goods Sold

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of purchased components and products from contract manufacturers and suppliers and limited manufacturing-related overhead such as depreciation, rent and utilities. In addition, our cost of goods sold includes provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, freight costs and other indirect costs of sale. We source our manufactured products based on sales expectations and customer orders.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including average sales prices of our products, product mix, our ability to reduce manufacturing costs and fluctuations in the cost of our purchased components. We sometimes use the term of direct gross margin, which we define as revenue less direct material costs.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and associated costs for employees in sales, engineering, finance, and administrative activities. In addition, operating expenses include charges relating to accounting, legal, insurance and stock-based compensation.

Summary of Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported revenues of approximately $17.5 million and net income of approximately $2.4 million compared to revenues of approximately $7.4 million and a net loss of approximately $5.1 million for the corresponding period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported revenues of $22.5 million and a net loss of $1.2 million compared to revenues of $13.7 million and a net loss of $10.5 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The 2014 and 2013 results reflect the acquisitions of the Value Lighting, Seesmart, Relume and LIT businesses that were acquired in April 2014, December 2012, August 2013 and March 2013, respectively. The Company’s reported net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 include the following:

In connection with the acquisition of Value Lighting in 2014, the Company recorded net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $6.0 million, primarily resulting from the recognition of amortizable intangible assets at the date of acquisition. These net deferred tax liabilities can be used to reduce net deferred tax assets for which the Company had provided a valuation allowance. Accordingly, the valuation allowance has been reduced by a corresponding amount during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

The change in fair value of the embedded derivative relates to the Series E Preferred Stock (see Note 7 to the financial statements). For the period from its issuance on February 21, 2013 to its modification on May 14, 2013, the Company recorded the changes in fair value of the embedded derivative in earnings. Following the modification, the Company ceased to record changes in fair values of the embedded derivative in earnings and reclassified the carrying amount of the embedded derivative liability to equity. The recorded changes in fair value of the derivative are principally related to the increases in the market value of the Company’s common stock.

The results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 reflected the revenue impact of the fulfillment of several large orders from a group of related customers which did not reoccur in 2014. The timing of revenues recognized from large orders, if any, could have a material impact on the results of operations in any individual future period.

The three months ended June 30, 2013 reflect the fulfillment of several large orders that did not reoccur in 2014. Revenues from Lighting fixtures and lamps primarily represent sales of Value Lighting, Seesmart, Relume, and Tristate, which were acquired in April 2014 December 2012, August 2013 and November 2013 respectively. Lighting signage and media in 2014 includes the media business of Relume.

We have modified the terms of our Series E Preferred Stock to eliminate the requirement to separate the embedded derivative and record changes in fair value through earnings. Therefore, we do not expect such charges in the future. Interest expense recorded in 2014 is related to the receivable financing arrangements entered into in late 2013.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows

At June 30, 2014, the Company has cash on hand of approximately $1.7 million and current assets of $34.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company reported negative cash flows from operations of $7.9 million and $5.2 million respectively. Cash used for operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 included $0.7 million and $2.6 million paid for acquisition related costs and severance and related costs, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company used cash for operations of approximately $8.1 million, which included approximately $3.6 million cash paid for acquisition related costs and severance and transition costs. At June 30, 2014, the Company had working capital of approximately $3.5 million, excluding cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million compared to negative working capital of approximately $3.5 million, excluding cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million at December 31, 2013. The improvement in working capital reflects the impact of the acquisition of Value Lighting and the impact of the financing transactions described below. At June 30, 2014 the Company had long term debt of $5.7 million and short term debt of $1.1 million (included in other current liabilities.)

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued convertible redeemable preferred stock to RVL for cash of approximately $10.0 million and common stock to unaffiliated investors for approximately $5 million in cash and borrowed approximately $0.9 million under an accounts receivable financing facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company borrowed $17.9 million from affiliates of its controlling shareholder for general corporate purposes including $10.8 million used to fund the cash portion of the consideration for the acquisition of Value Lighting. On June 30, 2014, the Company issued Series G preferred stock of $18.0 million to affiliates of its controlling stockholder in exchange for notes payable of $12.6 million, including accrued interest, and Series F preferred stock of $5.4 million, including accrued dividends. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company exchanged outstanding borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014 for a new consolidated note aggregating to $5.7 million bearing interest at 9% and maturing on April 1, 2016. Subsequent to June 30, 2014 affiliates of the controlling stockholder advanced $0.7 million to the Company.

During the second quarter of 2014 the Company acquired Value Lighting which in 2013 reported revenues of $43.4 million and net income of $3.1 million, respectively, and has an estimated backlog of $30 million at June 30, 2014. As a result of the acquisition and transactions described above the Company believes it has significantly improved its ability to obtaining third party financing.

The Company expects continuing support from its controlling stockholder and believes it has adequate resources to meet its cash requirements in the foreseeable future. The Company faces challenges in order to achieve profitability and there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain positive cash flows from operations or profitability. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to establish profitable operations or raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financing, or other sources of financing to fund operations, as well as support from our controlling stockholder. There can be no assurance such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, or that any financing transaction will not be dilutive to the Company’s current stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies disclosed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

See Note 1 to condensed consolidated financial statements for recent accounting pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, income taxes, goodwill and intangibles, accounts receivable, inventory, stock-based compensation, warranty obligations, fair value measurements, purchase price allocation, and financing and equity instruments. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates as described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with its receivable financial facility pursuant to which it may borrow up to $2.0 million, which bears interest at a variable rate based on the prime rate. The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk on loans from its controlling stockholder which bear interest at 9%.

The Company sells its products principally in the United States of America in US dollars and thus is not exposed to foreign currency risk.

The Company sources components from its providers from manufacturers in Asia in US dollars and is thus not exposed to foreign exchange risk directly.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

34

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our 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, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Furthermore, our controls and procedures can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.

An evaluation was performed 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 on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by the report.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of our assets are made in accordance with management’s authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Furthermore, our controls and procedures can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management, override of the control and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company implemented new accounting systems and related modifications of processes and controls at its Relume and Lumificient subsidiaries. The Company also hired Directors of Finance at its Relume, Seesmart and newly acquired Value Lighting subsidiaries and expanded its accounting resources at its corporate headquarters and Value Lighting subsidiaries.
