ENERGY FOCUS, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

SOLON, Ohio, May 15, 2013—Energy Focus, Inc. (OTCQB:EFOI) a global leader in energy-efficient lighting technologies, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Financial results for the quarter include the following: 

• Net sales of $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2013 and 2012.
• Gross margins of 22.5 percent of net sales compared to 14.8 percent of net sales for the first quarter of 2012.
• A net loss of $1.4 million compared to a net loss $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2012.

Net sales for the first quarter of 2013 were comparable to the prior year’s first quarter.  Solutions segment sales increased 10 percent, while products segment sales decreased four percent, due to lower government products sales resulting from the timing of order receipts due to the sequester.
James Tu, Executive Chairman, commented: “Our first quarter sales came in modestly lower than our previous guidance due to a delay in Navy orders as a result of the sequester and sales that took longer to recognize in our lighting retrofit division, Stones River Companies (SRC).  However, as we have stated in a recent press release, we have been witnessing much stronger momentum in SRC’s business this year, with 50% growth in contracts over the same period last year. We’re also excited to announce that, despite the government sequester, our Navy business has obtained an additional $1.9 million in orders so far in the second quarter; a trend that we expect to continue, leading to substantial growth in our Navy business in 2013.”
“We believe that the LED revolution has started to reach the lighting retrofit market,” continued Mr. Tu.  “We are particularly excited about the increasing appeal of our LED lighting solutions over fluorescent even in projects that have fewer hours of operation, such as schools.  In addition, under the new leadership Energy Focus has put in place, we’re embarking on a series of operational initiatives that aim to unlock our organizational potential and create shareholder value.  Therefore, in spite of a slow first quarter, we do look forward to a year of strong growth.”

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company embarked on a program to raise an additional $3.8 million in unsecured convertible debt, of which $1.75 million was received during the first quarter.  During the second quarter, the Company expects to receive an additional $2 million.  “We are grateful and pleased to have received strong investor support during the current round of financing which will enable us to meet our growing working capital needs and reach our goal to be EBITDA positive in the second half of this year,” added Mr. Tu.

The Company expects sales for the second quarter of 2013 to range between $8 million and $9 million, and expects sales will continue to grow in the second half of the year.

Energy Focus, Inc. will host a conference call and webcast on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 4:30 p.m. EDT (1:30 p.m. PDT) to review the first quarter of 2013 financial results, followed by a Q & A session.  The webcast can be accessed under the investor section of our website at www.energyfocusinc.com or directly at http://tinyurl.com/bs9qor2.  The call can be accessed by dialing 888-397-5352 (US and Canada) or 719-325-2244 (International/Local).  The conference access code is 2180510.  Participants are asked to call the assigned number approximately 10 minutes before the conference call begins.

ENERGY FOCUS, INC.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
(amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

SOLON, Ohio, May 7, 2013—Energy Focus, Inc. (OTCQB: EFOI) today announced the Company, through Stones River Companies LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary, has been awarded contracts for government buildings totaling $4.9 million in the first four months of 2013.  The orders represent approximately 50% growth over the same period last year, and include installations of LED lighting in public housing projects and schools.

“We are pleased to see strong growth momentum in our lighting retrofit business, as government entities at national, state and local levels have embarked on initiatives to achieve higher energy efficiency,” said James Tu, Executive Chairman of Energy Focus.  “We are particularly excited about the increasing appeal of LED lighting over fluorescent even in projects that have fewer hours of operation, such as schools.  LED technology, which was considered futuristic even a year ago, is rapidly gaining acceptance as an economically compelling alternative to fluorescent.  The energy savings LED technology offers coupled with the rapidly falling initial cost of LED products, has shortened the payback period to an attractive range.”

“Most lighting retrofit companies continue to resist the use of LED lighting due to either a lack of in-house capabilities to test, validate and stand behind the products or the high acquisition cost of LED products.  Energy Focus, however, as a cost effective, high performance LED lighting manufacturer can and is proposing an all-LED design option for every lighting retrofit project we quote. We believe that the inflection point for LED to replace fluorescent in the lighting retrofit market has arrived in 2013.  We look forward to aggressively participating in this emerging, multi-billion-dollar market opportunity with our distinctly competitive LED products made possible by our Navy-proven technologies and agile global sourcing network,” added Mr. Tu.

SOLON, Ohio, March 27, 2013—Energy Focus, Inc. (OTC: EFOI) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

Financial results for the fourth quarter of 2012 include the following:

• Net sales were $9.0 million compared to $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, a 48 percent increase.
• Gross margins were 20.0 percent of net sales compared to 20.6 percent of net sales for the fourth quarter of 2011.
• A net loss of $2.0 million, including $0.7 million non-cash loss on impairment, compared to a net loss $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.  2011’s net loss included $0.4 million non-cash gain on change in estimate of contingent liabilities compared to $0.1 million non-cash gain in 2012.

Net sales increased $2.9 million, or 48 percent, during the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter primarily as a result of $3.2 million higher sales from our SRC solutions business.  Net sales increased $0.8 million in LED products in the pool and commercial business, but decreased $1.1 million in our government products and R&D services business.  This decrease was the result of 2011’s $1.6 million billing for supporting the qualification of U.S. Navy’s products under the $23 million Navy supply contract awarded in August 2011.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased $2.1 million from the prior year as a result of $1.0 million of non-cash charges related to the loss on impairment and the change in estimate of contingent liabilities.  Additionally, cost recovery benefits in 2012 included in research and development and sales and marketing were $0.8 million lower than 2011 as a result of lower R&D service billings.

Financial results for the year of 2012 include the following:

• Net sales were $29.8 million for 2012 compared to $25.8 million for 2011, a 16 percent increase.
• Gross margins were 20.9 percent of net sales compared to 20.1 percent of net sales in 2011.
• Operating expenses increased $0.9 million from 2011, and included a $0.7 million non-cash loss on impairment as well as a $0.1 million non-cash gain on change in estimate of contingent liabilities compared to $0.4 million non-cash gain in 2011.
• A net loss of $5.7 million, which includes non-cash items, improved from the prior year’s loss of $6.1 million.

Net sales increased $4.1 million in 2012 primarily as a result of a $3.0 million increase in LED products in the pool and commercial business, as well as a $1.0 million increase in sales from our SRC solutions business.

Joe Kaveski, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are encouraged with our growth as sales increased 13 percent sequentially from the third quarter of 2012, and 48 percent from the prior year’s fourth quarter.  In our fourth quarter we introduced our new multi-LED tube lamp.  This LED lamp is designed to replace linear fluorescent lamps and is best-in-class, achieving 118 lumens per watt.  Furthermore, we are optimistic about our solutions business.  SRC’s proposal pipeline has significantly increased year over year, a portion of which is due to increased activity of Energy Savings Performance Contracting within the U.S. Government sector. 

Mr. Kaveski continued, “In 2012, the pending sequester with the U.S. government did delay Navy orders under our $23 million contract.  However, we are receiving additional orders outside of the contract.  Furthermore, we are also pleased to announce that our Solon, Ohio manufacturing facility recently became ISO 9001 certified.”

The Company expects approximately $5.5 million to $6 million of sales for the first quarter of 2013.

 
Energy Focus, Inc. will host a conference call and webcast on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, at 4:30 p.m. EDT (1:30 p.m. PDT) to review the fourth quarter and year-end 2012 financial results, followed by a Q & A session.  The webcast can be accessed under the investor section of our website at www.energyfocusinc.com or directly at http://tinyurl.com/crzl5g4.  The call can be accessed by dialing 888-389-5988 (US and Canada) or 719-457-2648 (International/Local).  The conference ID number is 8802742.  Participants are asked to call the assigned number approximately 10 minutes before the conference call begins.

Mr. Tu was appointed to fill the open position created by the retirement of Paul von Paumgartten from the Company’s Board of Directors.

I believe that this momentum will continue to build in the months and years to come as these LED lighting markets rapidly expand.”
Mr. Tu continued, “As its Chairman, I’m dedicated to strengthening our Board’s capability and capacity in working with and assisting our management team in improving operational and financial performances.

SOLON, Ohio, November 14, 2012—Energy Focus, Inc. (OTC BB: EFOI) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Financial results for the third quarter of 2012 include the following:

• Net sales were $7.9 million compared to $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2011.
• Gross margins improved to 24.8 percent of net sales compared to 20.1 percent of net sales for the third quarter of 2011.
• The net loss of $0.9 million improved $0.5 million compared to the third quarter’s 2011 net loss of $1.5 million on $1.9 million higher sales.

Net sales increased 31 percent during the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the prior year’s third quarter primarily as a result of 45 percent higher sales from our Products business.  Net sales increased in both the pool and commercial division, as well as in our government products and R&D services division.  Net sales from our Solutions business increased 3 percent.

Joe Kaveski, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Although sales increased from the prior year’s third quarter, sales fell short of our guidance of $9.5 million to $10.5 million.  The sales shortfall occurred principally in our SRC business where large contracts which we were expecting to receive earlier in the third quarter slipped, pushing portions of the revenues from these contracts out to the fourth quarter. However, the good news is that our SRC business has received $6.9 million of new contracts secured from the last week of September through today. These contracts (which are described in greater detail in today’s companion press release) and additional contracts we expect to receive in our fourth quarter will lead to year over year sales growth.  Moreover, we are encouraged by our greatly expanded proposal pipeline which we expect will lead to further sales growth in 2013.”

The Company expects sales for the fourth quarter to range between $9.0 million and $10.5 million.

Energy Focus, Inc. will host a conference call on Wednesday, November 14, 2012, at 4:30 p.m. EST (1:30 p.m. PST) to review the third quarter of 2012 financial results, followed by a Q & A session.  The call can be accessed by dialing 1-877-879-6217 (US and Canada) or 1-913-312-0982 (International/Local).  The conference ID number is 9821408.  Participants are asked to call the assigned number approximately 10 minutes before the conference call begins.

SOLON, Ohio, August 14, 2012—Energy Focus, Inc. (OTC BB: EFOI) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. 

Financial results for the second quarter of 2012 include the following:

• Net sales were $7.7 million compared to $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2011.
• Gross margins improved to 22.2 percent of net sales compared to 18.9 percent of net sales for the second quarter of 2011.
• The net loss of $0.9 million improved $0.3 million compared to the second quarter’s 2011 net loss of $1.2 million on $0.5 million lower sales.

Net sales decreased during the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the prior year’s second quarter as a result of lower sales from our Solutions business.  This reduction was partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in our Products business as a result of increased sales of LED products.

Joe Kaveski, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second quarter sales fell within our guidance of $7 - $8 million.  We are encouraged by the 45 percent sequential increase in net sales and the 7.4 percentage point increase in gross profit margins from the first quarter of 2012.  Furthermore, we expect to see significant increases in sales during the remainder of 2012.  This is due to our expanded proposal pipeline in our Solutions business, additional shipments to the US Navy from our $23 million contract and from continued sales of our LED products anticipated in our second half of 2012.”

The Company expects sales for the third quarter to range between $9.5 million and $10.5 million and forecasts to be EBITDA positive in the second half of 2012.

Energy Focus, Inc. will host a conference call on Tuesday, August 14, 2012, at 4:30 p.m. EDT (1:30 p.m. PDT) to review the second quarter of 2012 financial results, followed by a Q & A session.  The call can be accessed by dialing (888) 599-8658 (US and Canada) or 1-913-981-5529 (International/Local).  The conference ID number is 6634578.  Participants are asked to call the assigned number approximately 10 minutes before the conference call begins.

SOLON Ohio, May 16, 2012 – Energy Focus, Inc. (OTC BB: EFOI.OB), a leader in providing LED energy efficient lighting products and solutions announced that it has recently received an additional $1.5 million order to provide IntelliTube™ LED fluorescent replacement tubes, IntelliTube LED berth light fixtures and a variety of the Company’s high performance LED globe fixtures to upgrade the lighting on a number of U. S. Navy ships. Installation of the lighting will be performed by U. S. Navy personnel. 

“Energy Focus LED products have a 50,000-hour lifespan compared to the 1,000-hour bulbs in incandescent globes and 7,500-hour fluorescent tubes while using less than half the energy. In addition, our LED fixtures are designed for easy installation.  The globes use the existing mounting brackets and our IntelliTube LED tubes simply twist into the existing fixture – exactly like the fluorescent tubes they’re replacing,” said Roger Buelow, Energy Focus CTO. 

Joe Kaveski, Energy Focus CEO commented, “As I noted in our recent first quarter 2012 investor conference call, Energy Focus is delighted with the additional $1.5 million order to provide the Navy its breakthrough LED lighting products.  We look forward to upgrading the Navy fleet over the next several years supporting the Navy’s maritime energy strategy.”

SOLON, Ohio, May 15, 2012—Energy Focus, Inc. (OTC BB: EFOI.OB) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012. 

Financial results for the first quarter of 2012 include the following: 

• Net sales of $5.3 million compared to $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2011.
• Operating expenses decreased 36% compared to the first quarter of 2011.
• The net loss of $1.9 million improved $0.9 million compared to the first quarter’s 2011 net loss of $2.8 million.
• The Company finished the quarter with a balance sheet showing cash in the amount of $1.7 million, a $0.4 million decrease from the fourth quarter of 2011. 

Net sales decreased during the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the prior year’s first quarter as a result of $1 million in lower sales from our Solutions business.  This was partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in our U.S. Government business as a result of our $23 million U.S. Navy contract.

Joe Kaveski, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our first quarter sales fell within our guidance of $5-$6 million.  While our overall sales were lower in the first quarter due to the weak performance of our Solutions business, we were encouraged to see a $0.8 million increase in U. S. Navy revenues associated with our IntelliTube™ sales.  We also expect to see significant sales during the remainder of 2012 from the $23 million Navy contract.  Further, we anticipate an improvement in our Solutions business beginning in the second quarter and a further strengthening in the second half of 2012 due to an expanded proposal pipeline.”

“Our U.S. Products business is also expected to grow in the second quarter of 2012 due to increased sales of our LED products.  This increase is led by the fulfillment of the $1.8 million LED product order we recently secured which we began shipping in the second quarter,” said Mr. Kaveski.

The Company expects sales for the second quarter to range between $7 million and $8 million and forecasts to be EBITDA positive in the second half of 2012.

“This order is expected to be 100% fulfilled this year,” continued Mr. Kaveski.  “This sale is very significant as it represents a real beginning of the ESCO markets transition to LED lamps.  We are now able to offer LED solutions that match or better the simple payback of traditional fluorescent lamps.  Furthermore, this $1.8 million order demonstrates the ESCO markets are an early adopter for LED lighting and confirms our view that ESCOs and SRC Solutions are key vehicles to drive large LED product sales.”

SOLON, Ohio, March 29, 2012—Energy Focus, Inc. (OTC BB: EFOI.OB) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011. 

Financial results for the fourth quarter of 2011 include the following: 

• Net sales of $6.1 million compared to $8.8 million for the fourth quarter 2010.
• Operating expenses decreased 49% compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.
• The net loss of $0.6 million improved $1.0 million compared to the fourth quarter’s 2010 net loss of $1.6 million.
• The Company finished the quarter with a balance sheet showing cash in the amount of $2.1 million, a $0.2 million increase from the third quarter. 

Net sales decreased during the fourth quarter of 2011 as compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter as a result of $3.5 million lower sales from our Solutions business.  This was partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in our U.S. Government business as a result of recognizing $1.6 million of revenue on the $23 million U.S. Navy contract in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Financial results for the year of 2011 include the following:

• Net sales of $25.8 million for 2011 compared to $35.1 million of net sales for 2010.
• Operating expenses decreased 27% or $3.9 million from 2010 results.
• The net loss of $6.1 million improved $2.4 million from the prior year’s loss of $8.5 million.

Net sales decreased in 2011 primarily as a result of $10.2 million lower sales from our Solutions business.  We saw an increase in our Government business as a result of recognizing $1.6 million of revenue from the $23 million U.S. Navy contract.

Joe Kaveski, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “2011 was a challenging year for our SRC Solutions business as we experienced reduced sales from two of our major ESCO customers.  We have addressed this issue during 2011 by expanding our customer base and geographic coverage and we expect to see improvement in sales beginning in the second quarter of 2012.”

“We are also expecting our U.S. Products business to grow in 2012 due to increased sales of LED products,” said Mr. Kaveski

Mr. Kaveski continued, “Further growth in 2012 will be realized from the $23 million U.S. Navy contract to supply our new proprietary IntelliTube™ as an LED plug and play replacement for existing fluorescent lamps in approximately 7% of the U.S. fleet.  Recently, the Navy certified IntelliTube as 100% mil-spec qualified and can now be purchased by the remainder of the fleet.  This opens up the $300 million opportunity as Energy Focus is now the only mil-spec qualified supplier for LED replacement lamps to the U.S. Navy.”

Energy Focus’ LED military products can be seen in a recent NAVSEA video which may be found at:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGBIhyfgix4&context=C4a96dbdADvjVQa1PpcFOdzYrj-jZ9wpC0DuQIp-wkrtzvn8OSMI4.

The Company received a $4.9 million equity investment from a group of 10 investors in the first quarter of 2012.  This capital infusion was very timely as it provided a source of cash to retire debt and other obligations due in March.  Additionally, this investment, along with the Company’s new credit facility, provides additional capital needed in 2012.

The Company’s outlook for the first quarter of 2012 is for sales to range between $5 million and $6 million.  The Company expects sales to increase in the second quarter as a result of improvements in the company’s SRC Solutions and US products businesses.  The Company expects sales for the second quarter to range between $7 million and $8 million and forecasts to be EBITDA positive in the second half of 2012.

Energy Focus, Inc. will host a conference call on Thursday, March 29, 2012 at 4:30 p.m. EST (1:30 p.m. PST) to review the fourth quarter and full year 2011 financial results, followed by a Q & A session.  The call can be accessed by dialing (888) 219-1420 (US and Canada) or 1-913-312-0850 (International/Local).  The conference ID number is 761884.  Participants are asked to call the assigned number approximately 10 minutes before the conference call begins.

SOLON Ohio, March 29, 2012 – Energy Focus, Inc. (OTC BB: EFOI.OB), a leader in providing LED energy efficient lighting solutions, announced that its breakthrough fluorescent replacement technology has achieved qualification for use on the US Navy fleet.

“With the Navy’s qualification of IntelliTube™, Energy Focus’s intelligent plug and play LED lamps can now replace the existing linear fluorescent tube lamps used in most of the Navy’s light fixtures,” said Roger Buelow, Energy Focus CTO.  “IntelliTube’s proprietary ‘brain’, a tiny microprocessor that allows the circuit to detect and actively reconfigure itself, is the secret behind the IntelliTube’s ability to be used in the entire gamut of existing fluorescent sockets by simply plugging it in.”

With the addition of IntelliTube™ to its lighting arsenal, Energy Focus is now uniquely qualified to replace the bulk of the lighting aboard ships across the fleet with its broad range of 28 Navy qualified advanced LED lighting products.

“I am delighted that IntelliTube has passed the Navy’s rigorous First Article Testing and that Energy Focus’ products are now available to the entire Navy Fleet - far beyond those ships included in the $23 million Navy supply contract that was awarded to us in 2011,” said Joe Kaveski, Energy Focus CEO.  “Supplying IntelliTube to the US Navy is a tremendous business opportunity for Energy Focus,” Mr. Kaveski continued, “but more importantly the Navy can immediately begin to benefit from the significant energy savings gained through Energy Focus’ LED lighting by simply changing the light bulbs installed on every Navy vessel.”

SOLON Ohio, December 22, 2011 – Energy Focus, Inc. (OTC BB: EFOI.OB), a leader in providing LED energy efficient lighting solutions announced that it has provided more than 600 new light emitting diode (LED) lighting fixtures for installation on USS Chafee (DDG 90). The installation was performed during the ship’s recently completed availability, providing the ship with longer-lasting lights that use less electric power than the replaced incandescent and fluorescent light fixtures.

According to a recent Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) press release, “The new fixtures have a minimum 50,000-hour lifespan compared to the 1,000-hour incandescent globes and 7,500-hour fluorescents. The ship is expected to save more than $50,000 per year using the new lights… Savings are expected to exceed $100,000 per ship per year when the scope is expanded to include the T12 fluorescent fixtures … In early 2012, USS Preble (DDG 88) is expected to receive the same fixtures, as well as LED bulb replacements for the ship’s two-foot fluorescent fixtures, which are the most common lighting on DDG 51 class ships.” (See www.navsea.navy.mil/Newswire2011/08DEC11-02.aspx for additional details.)

“The 600 LED fixtures Energy Focus provided include fixtures using our IntelliTube™ single LED waveguide technology to replace fluorescent berth lights as well as a range of advanced LED globe lights to replace existing incandescent globe light fixtures,” said Roger Buelow, Energy Focus CTO. “Energy Focus has also received an order to provide its newly developed IntelliTube™ replacement LED tubes to retrofit both the USS Chafee’s and USS Preble T12 fluorescent fixtures, the second Navy ship to receive all new LED lighting. The cost savings are expected to be even greater since the fixture doesn’t need to be replaced.”

Joe Kaveski, Energy Focus CEO commented, “Energy Focus is delighted to provide the Navy its breakthrough IntelliTube LED lighting products for a complete lighting retrofit for the USS Chafee and USS Preble as we begin the process to provide advanced LED lighting aboard the whole range of combatant and amphibious ships over the next several years as part of the Navy’s maritime energy strategy.”

SOLON Ohio, August 4, 2011 – Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI), a leader in providing LED energy efficient lighting solutions, announced that it has been awarded a $23 million Navy supply contract to provide LED fixtures and its proprietary IntelliTube LED lamps for use on the U.S. Navy fleet.

“EFOI’s advances in LED technology will allow the Navy to save 50-90% of their lighting energy cost” said Roger Buelow, Energy Focus CTO. 

The majority of the contract includes sales of fixtures using the company’s new IntelliTube™ lamps which are intelligent plug and play LED lamps to replace the existing linear fluorescent tube lamps used in most of the Navy’s light fixtures.

“This is wonderful news for Energy Focus and the city of Solon,” U.S. Rep. Steven C. LaTourette said in a separate release.  The LaTourette release went on to note that “the project will upgrade current legacy lighting systems with new energy-efficient lighting as part of the Navy’s green initiative.  Work on the first delivery order will be done in Solon and should be completed by Dec. 1, 2011.” (See http://latourette.house.gov/news/press-releases/solon-company-gets-23-million-dollar-federal-contract-for-green-lighting-on-navy-ships.aspx for further information.)

“I am delighted that Energy Focus’ IntelliTube technology is now uniquely positioned to quickly convert Navy vessels to LED lighting.  This is a tremendous business opportunity for Energy Focus which we estimate to exceed $300 million for the US Fleet alone and , the Navy will immediately benefit from the significant energy savings gained through LED lighting by simply changing the light bulbs installed on every Navy vessel” said Joe Kaveski, EFOI’s CEO.

SOLON, Ohio, May 12, 2011—Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI) a global leader in energy-efficient lighting technologies, recently introduced a new LED Retrofit Kit designed to replace High Intensity Discharge (“HID”) lighting for existing Wallpack fixtures.
The LED Retrofit Kit, using only 31 watts, is designed to replace 175 W HID lamps consuming 210 watts for an energy savings of more than 179 watts.  “Our proprietary flexible thermal management system makes this product possible, allowing us to fit virtually all existing Wallpack installations,” commented Steve Gasperson, President of Energy Focus’ LED products division.

“Mounted at 15-20 foot heights on the outside of many industrial buildings Wallpack fixtures are difficult and expensive to reach,” continued Mr. Gasperson.  “As a result, burned out lamps often don’t get changed leaving the space poorly lit.  Equipped with versatile mounting brackets the unit can be centered and aimed in a multitude of existing fixtures, creating a simple and easy to install solid state lighting solution.  Energy Focus’ LED Retrofit Kit for Wallpacks offers a 50,000 hour life, which equates to about 10 years of maintenance-free illumination.”

Joe Kaveski, CEO of Energy Focus said, “We specifically designed this product for the retrofit market. Our LED Retrofit Kit typically pays for itself in one to two years as a result of its 85% energy savings, ten year life and low installed cost, making it the ideal solution for lighting retrofit projects.”

SOLON, Ohio, March 31, 2011—Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 and outlook for 2011. 
Financial and operating highlights for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2010 include the following:

• Fourth quarter 2010 net sales from continuing operations of $8.8 million increased 2.4 times fourth quarter 2009 net sales from continuing operations of $3.6 million.
• Annual sales from continuing operations in 2010 of $35.1 million increased 2.8 times 2009 net sales from continuing operations of $12.5 million.
• Cash increased $3.0 million for the full year 2010 ($1.5 million of which was net cash provided from continuing operations) versus a cash decrease of $9.5 million for 2009.  The Company finished the year with cash on hand of $4.1 million.
The outlook for the first quarter of 2011 and the full year of 2011 include the following:

• Sales to exceed $5 million in the first quarter.
• Cash usage in the first quarter of less than $3 million.
• Revenue from continuing operations (excluding potential acquisitions) of over $35 million for the full year.
• The Company expects net cash provided by continuing operations to be positive for the year.
“I’m very pleased by the 2010 performance of Stones River Companies (SRC), our new lighting solutions business.  With $19.8 million in net sales, SRC has exceeded our expectations by almost doubling its sales from its 2009 pre-acquisition base,” said Joe Kaveski, CEO of Energy Focus, Inc.  “SRC generated 56% of our revenue for the year and was a key factor in the success of Energy Focus in 2010.”
“Our international lighting business, based out of the UK, which offers lighting products to the new construction market, continued to decline in 2010. We are keenly focused on re-establishing sales growth for this segment during 2011. However, it remains unclear at this point whether the economic cycle for international new construction will improve during the year.”
“We expect our lighting solutions business to continue to be a key factor in 2011, even though sales for the first quarter will be substantially lower than prior year due to the timing of contract work,” Mr. Kaveski added.  “Solutions based sales are expected to significantly increase beginning in the second quarter of 2011.  Furthermore, we see the military market emerging as a relevant sales channel in 2011 as evidenced by our recent orders from the US Navy.  Products based on IntelliTube™ technology, already embedded into our military products, are expected to be available for the existing building market in 2012.  Finally, Mr. Kaveski said, “as a direct result of our increasing margins and emphasis on further cost reductions, we anticipate net cash provided by continuing operations to again be positive for the year, an important factor contributing to our profitable growth.”
On Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. EDT (1:30 p.m. PDT), Energy Focus, Inc. will host a conference call to review the fourth quarter and full year 2010 financial results, followed by a Q & A session.

SOLON Ohio, March 16, 2011 – Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI), a leader in providing energy efficient lighting solutions, today announced that it recently received a $446,000 order to supply its recently qualified LED lighting fixtures to retrofit two US Navy destroyers. The products ordered include Energy Focus LED Berth lights using its proprietary IntelliTube™ technology to replace fluorescent T-5 fixtures at half the power as well as its LED globe products using state of the art white, yellow, red and blue LEDs to replace incandescent globe fixtures saving 80% or more of the energy. The products being supplied were developed and qualified under contracts from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) TechSolutions Program and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

“LED lights particularly make sense on destroyers,” said Roger Buelow, Energy Focus Chief Technology Officer and principal investigator for the ONR’s SSL project.  “The Navy calculates electrical energy costs at about 55 cents per kilowatt hour – or more than double the highest US residential or commercial rates.  In addition, the lights we designed for the Navy are extremely vibration resistant – a problem for both incandescent and fluorescent bulbs that the conversion to our SSL LED lights solves.”

“We are delighted to supply these additional US Navy ships with Energy Focus’ next generation LED SSL products”, said Joe Kaveski Energy Focus CEO.

SOLON Ohio, March 8, 2011 – Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI), a leader in providing energy efficient lighting solutions, today announced that it is now supplying four families of fixtures incorporating LED Solid State Lighting (SSL) to US Navy ships and submarines.  The products being supplied were developed under contracts from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) TechSolutions Program and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

According to a recent ONR release (http://www.onr.navy.mil/Media-Center/Press-Releases/2011/Solid-State-SSL-Techsolutions.aspx), Energy Focus SSL fixtures are being installed aboard several ships and submarines across the U.S. Navy including the USS New Hampshire (SSN-778), USS New Mexico (SSN 779), USS Pearl Harbor (LSD 52), USS Preble (DDG 88) and USS Chafee (DDG 90).  “Although the SSL is in its early stages,” the release states,”the LED fixtures are showing great promise. Not only are they a quality of life improvement, but compared with fluorescent lights, LED fixtures last longer. They are more efficient, reducing maintenance requirements, energy usage and costs associated with storage, handling and disposal. Long term, SSL usage fleetwide could add up to considerable savings and improved readiness… TechSolutions worked with Energy Focus to produce patented LED fixtures that are direct replacements for fluorescents. The replacements produce the same light output, but use half the power.”
“LED lights are an immediate way to improve efficiency across the fleet,” said Roger Buelow, Energy Focus Chief Technology Officer and principal investigator for the ONR’s SSL project.  “As an example, the fluorescent version of the berth light found in every Sailor’s sleeping area runs at over 10 watts and is a legendary maintenance headache due to starter and lamp failures,” Buelow said. “Because of TechSolutions’ work with Energy Focus, the fleet now has a qualified LED version that runs at five watts, delivers the same light output and will last for a decade without maintenance.”
“We are pleased, working in collaboration with ONR and DARPA, to supply the US Navy with Energy Focus’ next generation LED SSL products”, said Joe Kaveski Energy Focus CEO.  “Reducing energy usage and maintenance requirements, eliminating mercury from the environment and providing improved quality of light are just as important to our military customers as they are to our civilian ones.”

SOLON Ohio, August 11, 2010 – Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI), a leader in providing energy efficient lighting solutions, today announced that its research and development team has recently been selected to receive a Phase II Department of Energy (DOE) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award totaling $1.0 Million to develop advanced coatings capable of enhancing the performance of both energy efficient lighting and solar systems. 

Roger Buelow, Energy Focus CTO commented. “We’re excited about the award continuing our longstanding relationship with DOE. The Phase II SBIR work awarded is based on our success in Phase I and the huge potential of Sol-Gel coatings.  This project has a nice overlay for both our Intellitube™ and Solar program efforts.  In the world of energy efficient lighting, these kinds of coatings should allow us to increase efficiency of our LED lighting solutions 4-10% by applying a low cost affordable coating versus an uncoated approach.  Similar gains are possible in our high performance solar systems.  The net result is superior lighting performance at reduced energy cost.”

Joseph Kaveski, CEO, Energy Focus, added: “We are pleased to announce the additional $1.0 million grant landed by Roger and his team.

• The company finished the quarter with a balance sheet showing cash in the amount of $1.8 million and total shareholders’ equity of $9.7 million.  Cash utilization for the first quarter of 2010 was $0.4 million, excluding $1,150,000 of cash received from the selling of a Secured Subordinated Promissory Note for the principal amount of $1,150,000.  Cash utilization for the first quarter of 2009 was $3,768,000. 
• Excluding a non-cash charge of $1.4 million related to the revaluation of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock acquired by The Quercus Trust in our March 2008 equity financing and operating expenses related to SRC of $0.6 million, operating expenses decreased 7.4% compared to the first quarter of 2009.
• $16.5 million in lighting retrofit contracts secured for work expected to be completed in 2010.

The forecast for Q2 and 2010 include the following:

• Sales to exceed $8.5 million in Q2 2010 versus $3.3 million in Q2 2009 from continuing operations with about 60% or more of the sales due to the new SRC business unit.  Sales of $35 million are anticipated for 2010.
• Net cash outflow from operations for Q2 2010 are expected to be less than $1 million compared to a net cash outflow of $1.2 million in Q2 2009.  The company expects to be net cash flow positive from operations in 2010.
• An additional $2.5 MM for a total of $19 million in lighting retrofit contracts secured by the end of Q2 for work expected to be completed in 2010.

“I’m absolutely delighted with the performance of our SRC solutions business in the 1st Quarter,” said Joe Kaveski, CEO of Energy Focus, Inc.  “With $19 million in lighting contracts secured for business we expect to complete in 2010 and $8.4 million in sales recorded for the quarter, Rob Wilson and his team at SRC have helped Energy Focus achieve a great start to the year.  We expect to see continued good performance from SRC in the 2nd Quarter as it implements already secured contracts and continues to bring in more.”

“The acquisition of SRC has provided exactly the scale for Energy Focus that we had hoped to achieve,” Mr. Kaveski continued.  “In 2010 we expect about sixty percent of our sales coming from lighting retrofit contracts and about forty percent of our sales from lighting products.  New lighting products will become increasingly energy efficient and increasingly directed toward existing buildings as we continue to deploy energy efficient lighting products resulting from government funded R&D.”

Solon, OH – January 26, 2010 – Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI), a leader in providing energy efficient lighting solutions, announced today that its research and development team recently received three LED lighting awards totaling $1.6 million.  Two of these awards, “Explosion-Proof Solid State Lighting for Extreme Environments” and “A Spectrally Dynamic Berth Light for Active Circadian Cycle Management” are Phase 2 Small Business Innovation Research (“SBIR”) grants from the Defense Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”).  The third award, “Innovative Solid State Lighting Replacements for Industrial and Test Facility Locations,” is a Phase 1 Small Business Technology Transfer (“STTR”) program grant received from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”).

Roger Buelow, Energy Focus CTO commented. “We’re excited about the two additional awards from DARPA continuing our longstanding relationship. The STTR award is particularly exciting since it’s the first grant we’ve received from NASA. The first DARPA award, for the development of explosion-proof lights for shipboard use, also covers advanced driver development. These lights will be able to qualify for Class 1 Division 1 explosion proof standards for civilian use, which opens up a significant new market for Energy Focus. The second DARPA award is for development of circadian rhythm enhanced lights for the Navy. These lights adjust their spectrum throughout the day to improve sleep patterns and productivity. For the military, this is especially important for warfighters whose duties include 24-hour operational readiness. The third award, from NASA, is to replace existing test stand and parking lot fixtures with high performance LED lighting including high performance explosion-proof lights.”

Joseph Kaveski, CEO, Energy Focus added: “We are pleased to announce the additional $1.6 million in grants landed by Roger and his team. While significant, this new funding is only a fraction of the government sponsored R&D we’ve already received for work in 2010.  We’re especially pleased to begin the development of a new generation of lighting products that enhance health and wellness as well as provide energy efficiency.  Energy Focus is proud to support our country with these significant projects. In addition, we expect the results of these projects to lead to both increased product sales as well as increased specification opportunities for our lighting retrofit business.”

It allows us to reduce energy and maintenance cost for the city and provide better lighting for the building’s occupants and visitors, which includes all of us.  As for the army base, this initial contract is for the first phase of a multi-phase project.  The retrofit will help the base reduce its energy consumption and maintenance costs while improving the buildings’ overall lighting quality.  Both contracts are expected to be completed before the end of the year.”

Joseph Kaveski, CEO, Energy Focus Inc. added: “We are pleased to announce the additional $2.1 million more in contracts landed by Rob and his team. These new public sector contracts are just the beginning of many more contracts that we see coming in 2010.  Partnering with the government to reduce energy consumption is not only the right thing to do for our country but also a very promising growth opportunity for Energy Focus, Inc. We expect public sector projects to be a major focus for our new lighting solutions business in 2010 especially as stimulus funding begins to reach the project level.“

SOLON, Ohio, November 16, 2009—Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. 

Financial and operating highlights include the following: 

• Net sales from continuing operations of $3.0 million for the third quarter 2009 decreased 9.1%, with respect to second quarter 2009 net sales from continuing operations of $3.3 million and 47.4% versus third quarter 2008 net sales from continuing operations of $5.7 million. 

• Cash utilization increased during the third quarter of 2009 to $2.3 million, compared to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2009 and a cash accretion of $193,000 for the third quarter of 2008. The company finished the third quarter with cash in the amount of $3.3 million (which includes $0.2 million of cash belonging to its German subsidiary, which has been classified as discontinued operations in its consolidated financial statements) and total shareholders’ equity of $9.5 million.

• The net loss in the quarter was $2.7 million ($0.17 per share) compared to a net loss of $2.3 million ($0.16 per share) in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $269,000.

• Operating expenses were reduced $181,000 (net of a restructuring expense of $125,000) for the quarter compared to the second quarter of 2009 and $428,000, or 13.4% compared to the third quarter of 2008.  Continued reductions in expenses are expected in Q4.

“Sales are running about 47% year over year and, unfortunately, are not expected to improve soon given that the principal source of these sales is our legacy businesses that are so dependent on new residential and commercial construction - in particular our pool business that is tied strongly to new construction in the residential housing market”, said Joe Kaveski, Energy Focus CEO.  “This underlines the appropriateness of our strategy to exit these businesses and refocus the company’s resources to provide turnkey lighting energy services to the growing public sector existing building market.”

“We spent $2.3 million cash this quarter which included expenses of about $1.0 million for restructuring and debt pay down, as well as legal and accounting fees associated with our rights offering, acquisition and divestiture efforts. Cash use for normal operations of $1.3 million declined about $100,000 compared to the last quarter due to continued reductions in overhead,” continued Mr. Kaveski.  “Cash usage for normal operations is expected to continue to decline in the fourth quarter with continued improvements in efficiency.”

“In addition we’ve made significant progress on our plan to acquire a lighting retrofit business with the successful completion of our rights offering which will provide funding for the acquisition,” added Mr. Kaveski.  “We’ve recently received an additional $3.2 million in new government contracts and have made our first sales through the GSA Federal Supply Schedule.”

SOLON, Ohio, October 29, 2009 - Energy Focus Inc., a global leader in energy efficient lighting, announced today that it has entered into a $100,000, twelve month contract with the DuPont-University of Delaware Very High Efficiency Solar Cell (VHESC) Consortium as part of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)-funded effort to deliver advanced solar research to enable high efficiency, low cost photovoltaics.

“We are pleased to receive the additional funding” said Roger Buelow, Energy Focus Chief Technology Officer. “The added effort will be directed toward utilizing our photovoltaic coating technologies to achieve low cost efficient “spectrum splitting.”

“This brings this phase of our solar program funding to $3.2 million.  We are pleased with both DARPA’s and the VHESC consortium’s confidence in us to deliver as this funding level reflects,” said Joe Kaveski, Energy Focus CEO.  “We are proud to be part of the team that we believe will make efficient, affordable solar panels a reality for the military and for all Americans.”

DARPA recently began the second two-year phase of a four-year program with the VHESC Consortium to raise the system power efficiency of a new class of solar modules to 40 percent and deliver engineering prototype modules that can be readily manufactured.

The modules under development by the VHESC team use an advanced optical “spectrum splitting” system that directs light from the sun into different paths corresponding to the color of the light, and concentrates the light onto photovoltaic cells that cover different segments of the solar spectrum.

DARPA is developing the VHESC solar module technology for compact renewable energy to power both permanent and mobile bases, as well as to reduce the considerable logistical burden of supplying energy (e.g., batteries and fuel) to the U.S. military in the field.

Order placed through through GSA Federal Supply Schedule. Lighting to Provide Energy Efficient security and area lighting for Minnesota Air National Guard

Solon, OH – October 7, 2009 – Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI), a leader in providing energy efficient lighting solutions, today announced it received a $256,000 order from the Departments of the Army and Air Force to provide efficient area and security lighting for the Minnesota Air National Guard . The order for state-of-the-art LED lighting fixtures is expected to be fulfilled in October.

Joseph Kaveski, CEO, Energy Focus, Inc. said:  “We are delighted to be able to provide these efficient, long lived, LED outdoor lighting fixtures to the US Government.” Mr. Kaveski continued, “These high-tech LED luminaires use only a fraction of the energy of the conventional High Intensity Discharge (HID) fixtures typically used in outdoor area and security applications. In addition, LEDs offer “instant on” with no re-strike delay, perform in the coldest temperatures, are vibration and impact resistant and contain no mercury or lead.”

Energy Focus Inc. sees this order as further evidence that the general lighting market is ready to accept this new technology. While LEDs have been in use for almost 10 years for specialty lighting applications, it has only been in the last 2 years that LEDs have emerged as viable alternatives to existing general lighting technologies. The recent stimulus plan put into place by President Obama is further putting LED and other energy efficient technologies on the forefront. With Government agencies being early adopters, the commercial lighting market is expected to follow in adopting these technologies.

SOLON, Ohio, August 19, 2009-- Energy Focus, Inc. (Nasdaq: EFOI), a global leader in energy-efficient lighting technologies, announced today that it has been awarded a $0.5 million SBIR extension grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop and produce solid state lighting fixtures for general use on Navy ships. The new fixtures will replace 50 and 110 Watt water tight incandescent fixtures now in use. With the addition of these new fixtures Energy Focus Inc. will be able to offer energy efficient, long-life LED lighting alternatives to replace both incandescent and fluorescent systems across the entire Navy fleet. Utilizing its proprietary Ultra Low Distortion Solid State Power Supply technology, the fixtures to be developed over the next 11 months will replace inefficient incandescent fixtures. Beyond efficiency, life, and maintenance specifications, the fixtures must meet the Navy's new stringent requirements for LED systems which include light output, shock and vibration, corrosion, EMC and EMI compliance, “The SSL lights developed under this grant will save a significant amount of energy and maintenance. As an example, using only 26 watts, a new LED fixture saves 76% (or 84W) over the incandescent fixture it replaces. In addition, we fully expect that bulb replacement will become a thing of the past with the LEDs' projected lifetime of up to 50,000 hours or more,” commented Roger Buelow, Energy Focus CTO. “With the addition of this $0.5 million grant, the Department of Defense has now awarded Energy Focus $1.9 million to develop energy efficient LED lighting for the US Navy. We are both proud and pleased to be selected to make a difference in the future of lighting for the United States military,” said Joe Kaveski, Energy Focus CEO. “We pledge, too, that Energy Focus' incandescent replacement LED technology will go beyond military applications, saving energy for the country as a whole in broad commercial applications providing energy efficient, mercuryfree, long-life alternatives to the incandescent bulbs which the US is phasing out beginning in 2012.”

SOLON, Ohio, August 13, 2009—Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Financial and operating highlights include the following: 
— Net sales at $3.8 million for the second quarter 2009 increased 36.0%, with respect to first quarter 2009 sales of $2.8 million.  However, this was a decrease of 49.9% versus the second quarter in 2008. 
— Cash utilization was markedly reduced during the second quarter of 2009 to $1.2 million, compared to $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2009 and $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2008. The company finished the second quarter with a balance sheet showing cash of $5.6 million, and total shareholders' equity of $11.9 million.  . 
— The net loss in the quarter was $2.3 million ($0.16 per share) compared to the net loss of 3.0 million ($0.21 per share) in the first quarter of 2009, an improvement of $0.7 million.
— Operating expenses were reduced $229,000 (net of a non-cash charge for impairment of fixed assets of $165,000) for the quarter compared to the first quarter of 2009 and $1.0 million or 24.0% compared to the second quarter of 2008.  Continued reductions in expenses are expected in Q3 and Q4

“While the business environment remains extremely challenging and our sales are lower when compared to 2008, I am nonetheless encouraged to see sales improving quarter over quarter,” said Joe Kaveski, CEO of Energy Focus, Inc.  “I would also like to report that we are making good progress towards accelerating our transformation out of the residential and new construction markets and into the existing building market.  The company has retained a broker to aggressively market its legacy businesses. In addition, the company continues to secure existing building energy solutions projects in the private sector and is intensifying its efforts to develop sales partnerships to take advantage of stimulus money available for public sector buildings.  In particular, we have received a great deal of interest from the introduction of our new line of LED based general illumination parking garage fixtures which are positioned to capitalize on projects funded with stimulus money.  Furthermore, I am very excited that the US Government has recently awarded Energy Focus a $1.4 million contract to supply the next generation of LED based lighting for US Navy ships.  Finally, the company continues to be focused on improving its financial position both by aggressively reducing costs as well as by exploring external financing alternatives.”

SOLON, Ohio, July 30, 2009-- Energy Focus, Inc. (Nasdaq: EFOI), a global leader in energy-efficient lighting technologies, announced today that it has been selected to receive a $1.4 million contract by the Naval Research Warfare Center to develop and produce solid state lighting fixtures for use specifically on Virginia Class attack submarines.  The new fixtures will replace single, double and triple tube fluorescent water tight fixtures now in use as well as provide solid state replacements for existing fluorescent based berth lights.  Once qualified, the new solid state fixtures will be available as lighting alternatives across the fleet.

Utilizing Energy Focus' proprietary Solid State Optical Delivery technology, the fixtures, to be developed over the next 12 months, must meet the Navy's new stringent requirements for LED systems which include light output, shock and vibration, corrosion, EMC and EMI compliance, efficiency, life, and maintenance specifications.  “We feel confident that the new fixtures will not only meet but exceed military requirements given the extensive development and testing of the base technology we've already done at sea under DARPA sponsorship over the past three years,” commented Roger Buelow, Energy Focus CTO.

“Energy Focus' selection, while not only making a difference in the future of lighting for the United States military, is a great example of a military program making a difference in the future of lighting for our nation” said Joe Kaveski, CEO.  “We expect that Energy Focus' Solid State Optical Delivery technology will find application far beyond the military to provide energy efficient, mercury-free, long-life alternatives to fluorescent bulbs in commercial applications.”

Solon, OH July 8, 2009 Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI), a global leader in energy-efficient lighting technologies, today announced that it is offering a 2, 3, and 4 lamp LED Parking Garage Fixture using its newest LED lighting solution energy efficient LED Light Tubes aimed directly at addressing President Obama and Energy Secretary Chu's recent challenge to reduce America's energy consumption for lighting to less than the current 7% of overall energy consumption.

Gerritt Reinders, Energy Focus' VP of Solutions Sales, commented:  “Using only about half the power of conventional fluorescent fixtures and about one third that of conventional metal halide fixtures our new retrofit product offers all the advantages of LED lighting controllability, low maintenance and full output even at the coldest temperatures but with an important difference: Energy Focus' product can do it at only a fraction of the cost of 1st generation “high power” LED approaches.”

“The “secret,” Joe Kaveski, Energy Focus' CEO said, “is in using 200 low power, but highly efficient LEDs to distribute both the light and heat over the length of the four foot tube.  That approach neatly solves the thermal problems normally associated with high output LED solutions without expensive heat sinks while allowing us to incorporate much of the hardware that's been devolved over the years for fluorescent.”

“Energy and maintenance savings are equally as important as first cost in creating a sustainable solution,” Mr. Kaveski continued.  “Because our LED Parking Garage solution can pay for itself and generate significant savings over its long life even without considering rebates, we expect the strong interest we've received from pre-viewing the new line of fixtures with customers only to increase as the government's stimulus projects come on line later this year.  In particular, we believe by offering an LED solution that's both affordable and efficient that we've addressed GSA Acting Administrator Paul Prouty's February call to convert parking garages to LED lighting.”

SOLON, Ohio, March 25, 2009-- Energy Focus, Inc. (Nasdaq: EFOI), a global leader in energy-efficient lighting technologies, announced today that it has been selected by the DOD (Department of Defense) to receive a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research ("SBIR") Grant to begin the development of a “Solid State Infrared Replacement for M-278 Flare” for the US Army's Hydra Rocket system.

“EFOI is honored to have been selected to conduct this important research.  We are confident that we can build upon our advanced thermal and optical technology to produce the best system for the United States' Soldiers.” says Roger Buelow, CTO at Energy Focus Inc. The operational difficulties of the present system are related to the poorly controlled chemical combustion nature of the source. A solid state LED-based technology upgrade is ideal as it does not generate high internal temperatures, has high reliability, and can be engineered to radiate no energy outside the desired band (700-1100 nm).

“The technical challenges presented by the Army are tremendous, but at the end we will have made breakthroughs that should unlock the next generation of LED lighting.” notes Laszlo Takacs, Director or R&D. The operational benefits of the LED Infrared flare include higher ignition reliability, little or no visible light output, and no risk of fires started on the ground or at the parachute components. LEDs operate with higher reliability than other light sources and with much greater safety than incendiary sources. Use of the LED would also provide a more consistent output both in power and in duration. Most significantly, the system would emit little or no visible light at all.

“This selection is another in a long string of examples of how Energy Focus Inc.'s technology and product focus is making a difference in the future of the United States Military.” says Joe Kaveski, CEO.

SOLON, Ohio, March 26, 2009—Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008. 
Financial and operating highlights include the following: 
— Revenues for the year were $22,950,000, comparable to revenues of $22,898,000 in 2007. The net loss in the year was $14,448,000 ($1.02 per share) compared to a net loss of $11,317,000 ($0.98 per share) for 2007. 
— Fourth quarter revenues were $4,140,000, a 23.9% decrease over sales in the fourth quarter of 2007 of $5,440,000.  The net loss in the quarter was $7,776,000 ($0.52 per share) compared to the net loss of $3,666,000 ($0.31 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2007.
— Included in the 2008 net loss is a non-cash expense of $4,305,000 for the impairment of goodwill. Also included in the 2008 net loss is total expense in the amount of $1,071,000 related to the modification of the definition of slow-moving and obsolete inventory.  Management deemed this modification appropriate as technology changes within the lighting industry continues to accelerate.  Pro forma net loss without these transactions would have decreased to $2,400,000 ($0.16 per share) for the quarter and $9,072,000 ($0.64 per share) for 2008.
— The company finished the year with a balance sheet showing cash at $10,568,000 and total shareholders' equity of $16,789,000, which includes $9,335,000 received March 14, 2008 from an equity financing, net of expenses.  Cash utilization for the year was $7,486,000 compared to $7,556,000 for 2007.
— Operating expenses, net of the $4,305,000 goodwill impairment in 2008, decreased by 11.1%, $1,984,000, for the year compared to 2007.  Operating expenses declined by 25.5%, $1,093,000, for the quarter (excluding impairment charges).
— Energy Efficient EFO sales increased to $10,888,000, for the year, compared to $7,011,000 for 2007, an increase of 55.3%.
— The Company expects to receive a “going concern” opinion from its independent auditor, Grant Thornton, LLP.

“I continue to be encouraged by our 55% increase in energy efficient product sales in spite of an extremely difficult global economy”, said Joe Kaveski, CEO of Energy Focus, Inc.  “While I believe this difficult environment will continue into 2009, I also believe Energy Focus should clearly benefit as funds become available from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 which emphasizes energy efficient lighting and green buildings.  Moreover, I believe that our drive to transform the Company into a comprehensive lighting energy solutions provider could not have been timed better.  Our new solutions sales team and new energy-efficient products are perfectly positioned to address the opportunities created by our country's renewed emphasis on creating energy efficient green buildings.  Providing turnkey energy efficient lighting solutions will be the foundation of the Company's viability in 2009 and provide for growth in 2010 and beyond.  However, the company continues to aggressively reduce costs with year over year expense reductions at about $2 million dollars in 2008 with comparable reductions expected in 2009.”

Energy Focus, Inc. management will host a conference call on March, 26, 2009 at 4:30 p.m. EST (1:30 p.m. PST) to review the fourth quarter and full year 2008 financial results and other corporate events, followed by a Q & A session.
