ENOVA SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
1. Description of the Company and its Business
Enova Systems, Inc. (Enova We or the Company) changed its name in July 2000. The Company
was previously known as U.S. Electricar, Inc., a California corporation, which was incorporated on
July 30, 1976. The Company is a globally recognized leader as a supplier of efficient,
environmentally-friendly digital power components and systems products, in conjunction with
associated engineering services. The Companys core competencies are focused on the
commercialization of power management and conversion systems for mobile and stationary
applications.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation Interim Financial Statements
The financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is
unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the
Company considers necessary for a fair statement of its financial position at such dates and the
operating results and cash flows for those periods. The year-end balance sheet data was derived
from audited financial statements, and certain information and note disclosures normally included
in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules or regulations; however, the Company believes
the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could
differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 or for any other
future period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are included in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, certificate
of deposit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, deferred revenues, and accrued payroll and other
liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying
value of all other financial instruments is representative of their fair values. The recorded
values of long-term notes payable approximate their fair values as interest rates approximate
market rates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company manufactures proprietary products and other products based on design
specifications provided by its customers. The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the
following criteria have been met:
|
|
|
Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement The Company documents all terms of an arrangement
in a written contract signed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue. |
|
|
|
Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Rendered The Company performs all services
or delivers all products prior to recognizing revenue. Professional consulting and
engineering services are considered to be performed when the services |
6
|
|
|
are complete.
Equipment is considered delivered upon delivery to a customers designated location. In
certain instances, the customer elects to take title upon shipment. |
|
|
|
The Fee for the Arrangement is Fixed or Determinable Prior to recognizing revenue, a
customers fee is either fixed or determinable under the terms of the written contract. Fees
for professional consulting services, engineering services and equipment sales are fixed
under the terms of the written contract. The customers fee is negotiated at the outset of
the arrangement and is not subject to refund or adjustment during the initial term of the
arrangement. |
|
|
|
Collectability is Reasonably Assured The Company determines that collectability is
reasonably assured prior to recognizing revenue. Collectability is assessed on a
customer-by-customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. New customers are
subject to a credit review process which evaluates the customers financial position and
ultimately its ability to pay. The Company does not enter into arrangements unless
collectability is reasonably assured at the outset. Existing customers are subject to
ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined
during the arrangement that collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized
on a cash basis. Amounts received upfront for engineering or development fees under
multiple-element arrangements are deferred and recognized over the period of committed
services or performance, if such arrangements require the Company to provide on-going
services or performance. All amounts received under collaborative research agreements or
research and development contracts are nonrefundable, regardless of the success of the
underlying research. |
We recognize revenue from milestone payments over the remaining minimum period of performance
obligations.
Changes in project performance and conditions, estimated profitability, and final contract
settlements may result in future revisions to engineering and development contract costs and
revenue.
These accounting policies were applied consistently for all periods presented. Our operating
results would be affected if other alternatives were used. Information about the impact on our
operating results is included in the footnotes to our financial statements.
Several other factors related to the Company may have a significant impact on our operating
results from year to year. For example, the accounting rules governing the timing of revenue
recognition related to product contracts are complex and it can be difficult to estimate when we
will recognize revenue generated by a given transaction. Factors such as acceptance of services
provided, payment terms, creditworthiness of the customer, and timing of delivery or acceptance of
our products often cause revenues related to sales generated in one period to be deferred and
recognized in later periods. For arrangements in which services revenue is deferred, related direct
and incremental costs may also be deferred.
Inventory
Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market utilizing first-in, first-out (FIFO)
cost flow assumption. We maintain a perpetual inventory system and continuously record the quantity
on-hand and standard cost for each product, including purchased components, subassemblies and
finished goods. We maintain the integrity of perpetual inventory records through periodic physical
counts of quantities on hand. Finished goods are reported as inventories until the point of
transfer to the customer. Generally, title transfer is documented in the terms of sale.
Inventory reserve
We maintain an allowance against inventory for the potential future obsolescence or excess
inventory. A substantial decrease in expected demand for our products, or decreases in our selling
prices could lead to excess or overvalued inventories and could require us to substantially
increase our allowance for excess inventory. If future customer demand or market conditions are
less favorable than our projections, additional inventory write-downs may be required, and would be
reflected in cost of revenues in the period the revision is made.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The
allowance for doubtful accounts is the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit
losses in the Companys existing accounts receivable; however, changes
7
in circumstances relating to
accounts receivable may result in a requirement for additional allowances in the future. Past due
balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability.
If the financial condition of the Companys customers were to deteriorate resulting in an
impairment of their ability to make payment, additional allowances may be required. In addition,
the Company maintains a general reserve for all invoices by applying a percentage based on the age
category. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all collection efforts have been
exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of March 31, 2011 and December
31, 2010, the Company maintained a reserve of $5,000 and $29,000 for doubtful accounts receivable.
Deferred Revenues
The Company recognizes revenues as earned. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which
service is rendered are recorded as a liability under deferred revenues. The Company has entered
into several production and development contracts with customers. The Company has evaluated these
contracts, ascertained the specific revenue generating activities of each contract, and established
the units of accounting for each activity. Revenue on these units of accounting is not recognized
until a) there is persuasive evidence of the existence of a contract, b) the service has been
rendered and delivery has occurred, c) there is a fixed and determinable price, and d)
collectability is reasonable assured.
Warranty Costs
The Company provides product warranties for specific product lines and accrues for estimated
future warranty costs in the period in which revenue is recognized. Our products are generally
warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 to 24 months from
the date of installation, subject to standard limitations for equipment that has been altered by
other than Company personnel and equipment which has been subject to negligent use. Warranty
provisions are based on past experience of product returns, number of units repaired and our
historical warranty incidence over the past twenty-four month period. The warranty liability is
evaluated on an ongoing basis for adequacy and may be adjusted as additional information regarding
expected warranty costs becomes known.
Stock Based Compensation
We measure the compensation cost for stock-based awards classified as equity at their fair
value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period for awards
expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures.
See Note 10 Stock Options for further information on stock-based compensation expense.

of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consisted of the following at:

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had two equity compensation plans, the 1996 Stock Option
Plan (the 1996 Plan) and the 2006 equity compensation plan (the 2006 Plan). The 1996 Plan has
expired for the purposes of issuing new grants. However, the 1996 Plan will continue to govern
awards previously granted under that plan. The 2006 Plan has been approved by the Companys
Shareholders. Equity compensation grants are designed to reward employees and executives for their
long term contributions to the Company and to provide incentives for them to remain with the
Company. The number and frequency of equity compensation grants are based on competitive practices,
operating results of the company, and government regulations.
The 2006 Plan has a total of 3,000,000 shares reserved for issuance, of which 1,709,000 shares
were available for grant as of March 31, 2011. All stock options have terms of between five and ten
years and generally vest and become fully exercisable from one to three years from the date of
grant.
As of March 31, 2011, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet
recognized is $311,000. The weighted average period over which the future compensation cost is
expected to be recognized is 17 months.

Overview
Enova believes it is a leader in the development, design and production of proprietary, power
train systems and related components for electric and hybrid electric buses and medium and heavy
duty commercial vehicles. Electric drive systems are comprised of an electric motor, an electronics
control unit and a gear unit which power a vehicle. Hybrid electric systems, which are similar to
pure electric drive systems, contain an internal combustion engine in addition to the electric
motor, and may eliminate external recharging of the battery system. A hydrogen fuel cell based
system is similar to a hybrid system, except that instead of an internal combustion engine, a fuel
cell is utilized as the power source. A fuel cell is a system which combines hydrogen and oxygen in
a chemical process to produce electricity.
A fundamental element of Enovas strategy is to develop and produce advanced proprietary
software and hardware for applications in these alternative power markets. Our focus is powertrain
systems including digital power conversion, power management and system integration, focusing
chiefly on vehicle power generation.
Specifically, we develop, design and produce drive systems and related components for
electric, hybrid electric and fuel cell powered vehicles in both the new and retrofit markets. We
also perform internal research and development (R&D) and funded third party R&D to augment our
product development and support our customers.
Our product development strategy is to design and introduce to market successively
advanced products, each based on our core technical competencies. In each of our product/market
segments, we provide products and services to leverage our core competencies in digital power
management, power conversion and system integration. We believe that the underlying technical
requirements shared among the market segments will allow us to more quickly transition from one
emerging market to the next, with the goal of capturing early market share.
Enovas primary market focus centers on aligning ourselves with key customers and
integrating with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in our target markets we believe that
alliances will result in the latest technology being implemented and customer requirements being
met, with an optimized level of additional time and expense. As we penetrate new market areas, we
are
12
continually refining both our market strategy and our product line to maintain our leading edge
in power management and conversion systems for vehicle applications.
Our website, www.enovasystems.com, contains up-to-date information on our company, our
products, programs and current events. Our website is a prime focal point for current and
prospective customers, investors and other affiliated parties seeking additional information on our
business.
Enova has incurred significant operating losses in the past. As of March 31, 2011, we had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $145.9 million. We expect to incur additional operating losses
until we achieve a level of product sales sufficient to cover our operating and other expenses.
However, the Company believes that its business outlook will improve, especially in light of
government policies being implemented in the United States, China and the United Kingdom regarding
the curbing of green house gas emissions in the future as well as intentions to provide government
incentives that may induce consumption of our products and services.

We continue to receive greater recognition from both governmental and private industry with
regards to both commercial and military application of our hybrid drive systems and fuel cell power
management technologies. Although we believe discussions with the above named entities may result
in additional production contracts during 2011 and beyond, there are no assurances that such
additional agreements will be realized.
Critical Accounting Policies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of
its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. The Company constantly re-evaluates these significant factors and makes
adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate. Estimates and assumptions include, but are not
limited to, customer receivables, inventories, equity investments, fixed asset lives, contingencies
and litigation. There have been no material changes in estimates or assumptions compared to our
most recent Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those
policies that we believe: (a) are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition
and results of operations and (b) involving inherently uncertain issues which require managements
most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.
|
|
|
Inventory Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market utilizing first-in, first-out
(FIFO) cost flow assumption. We maintain a perpetual inventory system and continuously record
the quantity on-hand and standard cost for each product, including purchased components,
subassemblies and finished goods. We maintain the integrity of perpetual inventory records
through periodic physical counts of quantities on hand. Finished goods are reported as
inventories until the point of transfer to the customer. Generally, title transfer is documented
in the terms of sale. |
|
|
|
Inventory reserve We maintain an allowance against inventory for the potential future
obsolescence or excess inventory. A substantial decrease in expected demand for our products, or
decreases in our selling prices could lead to excess or overvalued inventories and could require
us to substantially increase our allowance for excess inventory. If future customer demand or
market conditions are less favorable than our projections, additional inventory write-downs may
be required, and would be reflected in cost of revenues in the period the revision is made. |
|
|
|
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for doubtful accounts Trade accounts receivable are recorded
at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the
Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Companys existing
accounts receivable; however, changes in circumstances relating to accounts receivable may result
in a requirement for additional allowances in the future. Past due balances over 90 days and
other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial
condition of the Companys customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their
ability to make payment, additional allowances may be required. In addition, the Company
maintains a general reserve for |
14
|
|
|
all invoices by applying a percentage based on the age category.
Account balances are charged against the allowance after all collection efforts have been
exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. |
|
|
|
Stock-based Compensation We measure the compensation cost for stock-based awards
classified as equity at their fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense
over the service period for awards expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures. |
|
|
|
Revenue recognition The Company is required to make judgments based on historical experience
and future expectations, as to the reliability of shipments made to its customers. These
judgments are required to assess the propriety of the recognition of revenue based on ASC 605 and
related guidance. The Company makes these assessments based on the following factors: i)
customer-specific information, ii) return policies, and iii) historical experience for issues not
yet identified. |
These accounting policies were applied consistently for all periods presented. Our operating
results would be affected if other alternatives were used. Information about the impact on our
operating results is included in the footnotes to our financial statements.
Several other factors related to the Company may have a significant impact on our operating
results from year to year. For example, the accounting rules governing the timing of revenue
recognition related to product contracts are complex and it can be difficult to estimate when we
will recognize revenue generated by a given transaction. Factors such as acceptance of services
provided, payment terms, creditworthiness of the customer, and timing of delivery or acceptance of
our products often cause revenues related to sales generated in one period to be deferred and
recognized in later periods. For arrangements in which services revenue is deferred, related direct
and incremental costs may also be deferred.

The sum of the amounts and percentages may not equal the totals for the period due to the
effects of rounding.
Computations of percentage change period over period are based upon our results, as rounded
and presented herein.
Revenues. Revenues in the current period benefited from U.S. government grant programs,
resulting in increased sales for fulfillment of orders from Smith Electric Vehicles as well as
Navistar Inc. The increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 2010
was mainly due to the delivery of drive systems to Navistar and Smith Electric Vehicles. Revenues
were also attributed to continued shipments of drive systems to First Auto Works (FAW). Although
we have seen indications for future production growth, there can be no assurance there will be
continuing demand for our products and services.
15
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists of component and material costs, direct labor
costs, integration costs and overhead related to manufacturing our products as well as inventory
valuation reserve amounts. Cost of revenues increased primarily due to the increase in revenue. The
increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was attributed to product mix and pass
through revenue from HCATT as well as continuous improvement efforts.
Gross Margin. The change in gross margin is primarily attributable to product mix and pass
through revenue from HCATT. We continue to focus on key customer production contracts, maturity of
our supply chain, and efficiencies gained through increased in-house manufacturing and inventory
processes that have resulted in tighter controls over production costs. As we make deliveries on
production contracts in 2011, we expect to achieve continued benefit from these initiatives,
although we may continue to experience variability in our gross margin. Our gross margin may
fluctuate based on the sales product mix from period to period.
Research and Development (R&D). R&D costs increased significantly as we devoted increased
engineering personnel resources to the development of our next generation Omni-series motor control
unit and charger, as well as the continued testing of our EV vehicles, new battery technologies and
electric motors. We also continued to allocate necessary resources to the development and testing
of upgraded proprietary control software and DC-DC converters.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (S, G & A). S, G & A is comprised of
activities in the executive, finance, marketing, field service and quality departments
compensation as well as related payroll benefits, and non-cash charges for depreciation and options
expense. The Companys cost savings measures continue to be sustained and have become an integral
part of the sales environment in 2011. The Company constantly evaluates contemporary or fully
matured cost measures in the event of potential or future growth changes.
Interest and Other Income (Expense). Interest and other expense increased in 2011 due to a
loss in connection with a litigation settlement of $41,000 which we did not have in 2010.
Net Loss. The increase in the net loss was mainly due to the significant increase in R&D
costs.
Comparability of Quarterly Results. Our quarterly results have fluctuated in the past and we
believe they will continue to do so in the future. Certain factors that could affect our quarterly
operating results are described in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors contained in our Form 10-K for
2010. Due to these and other factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results
of operations are not meaningful indicators of future performance.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have experienced losses primarily attributable to research, development, marketing and
other costs associated with our strategic plan as an international developer and supplier of
electric drive and power management systems and components. Historically cash flows from operations
have not been sufficient to meet our obligations and we have had to raise funds through several
financing transactions. At least until we reach breakeven volume in sales and develop and/or
acquire the capability to manufacture and sell our products profitably, we will need to continue to
rely on cash from external financing sources. Our operations during the three months ended March
31, 2011 were financed by product sales as well as from working capital reserves.
Net cash used in operating activities was $4,165,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2011, an increase of $3,040,000 compared to $1,125,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
The increase in 2011 was primarily due to a net decrease in liabilities of $2,048,000 and a net
increase in assets of $930,000. Non-cash items include expense for stock-based compensation,
depreciation and amortization, issuance of common stock for employee services, inventory reserve,
and other losses. These non-cash items increased by $26,000 in first quarter of 2011 compared to
2010 primarily due to a loss in connection with a litigation settlement. The net loss increase was primarily due to
the decrease in gross margin and a significant increase in R&D when comparing the three months
ended 2011 and 2010. We continued to conserve cash resources by maintaining a steady employee
headcount and restrictions on administration and operating expenditures. As of March 31, 2011 and
March 31, 2010, the Company had $4,229,000 and $11,889,000 of cash and cash equivalents,
respectively. We anticipate that our current cash balance and projected cash inflow from customer
receivables will be adequate to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least
the next 12 months.
Net cash used in investing activities for capital expenditures was $52,000 for the first three
months of 2011 compared to $57,000 in the first three months of 2010.
16
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $15,000 for the first three months of 2011,
compared to net cash used in financing activities of $7,000 for the first three months of 2010.
This increase was primarily attributed to proceeds from the exercise of stock options and lower
payments on notes payable in the first three months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.
As of March 31, 2011, net accounts receivable was $2,827,000, a decrease of 1% or $23,000 from
the balance at December 31, 2010 of $2,850,000. The decrease in the receivable balance was due to a
decrease in the volume of sales in the first quarter in 2011 compared to the last quarter of 2010
offset by cash collections in the current period. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the
Company maintained a reserve of $5,000 and $29,000 for doubtful accounts receivable.
Net inventory and supplies increased by $524,000 when comparing the balances at March 31, 2011
and December 31, 2010, which represents a 12% increase in the inventory balance between the two
dates. The increase resulted from net inventory activity including receipts totaling approximately
$2,669,000, consumption of approximately $2,087,000 and an inventory reserve charge of $58,000. The
primary reason for the net increase in inventory activity was attributed to materials received in
connection with a litigation settlement. These materials were used in Q1 2011 and will be used to
satisfy future production schedule requirements through the remainder of 2011.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by a net $63,000, or 13%, to $419,000 at
March 31, 2011 from the December 31, 2010 balance of $482,000. The decrease was due to receipts of
inventory related to deposits on purchase orders and a decrease in prepaid insurance.
Long term accounts receivable increased to $145,000 at March 31, 2011 compared to $100,000 at
December 31, 2010. The Company agreed to defer collection of certain accounts receivable as
requested by one of our customers under the terms of the Companys warranty. The Company continues
to remedy all warranty claims and therefore anticipates collection of the long-term receivables.
Property and equipment decreased by $47,000, net of depreciation, at March 31, 2011, when
compared to the December 31, 2010 balance of $1,172,000. In the first three months of 2011, the
Company recognized depreciation expense of $124,000 and recorded additions to fixed assets totaling
$77,000.
Accounts payable decreased in the first three months of 2011 by $1,219,000, or 66%, to
$628,000 from $1,847,000 at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributed to payments
for inventory purchases made in late 2010 and the first quarter of 2011.
Deferred revenues increased by $120,000, or 387%, to a balance of $151,000 at March 31, 2011
compared to a $31,000 balance at December 31, 2010. This balance is anticipated to be realized into
revenue in the second and third quarters of 2011 and is associated with prepayment on purchase
orders from certain customers.
Accrued payroll and related expenses decreased by $340,000, or 37%, to $582,000 at March 31,
2011 compared to a balance of $922,000 at December 31, 2010. The change is primarily due to
payments made in the first quarter of 2011 of accrued executive and employee incentive bonuses.
Other accrued liabilities decreased by $699,000, or 40%, to $1,040,000 at March 31, 2011 from
the balance of $1,739,000 at December 31, 2010, primarily due to payments for accrued losses on the
partial litigation settlement with Arens Controls Company L.L.C. in January 2011 and payments for
accrued professional services recorded as of December 31, 2010. In addition, there was a net
decrease in the accrued warranty balance as costs for warranty repairs exceeded the warranty
accruals associated with sales during the first quarter of 2011.
Accrued interest payable was $1,176,000 at March 31, 2011, an increase of 2% from the balance
of $1,156,000 at December 31, 2010. The increase is due to interest related to our debt
instruments, primarily the secured note payable in the amount of $1,238,000 to the Credit Managers
Association of California.
Our ongoing operations and anticipated growth will require us to make necessary investments in
human and production resources, regulatory compliance, as well as sales and marketing efforts. We
anticipate that our current cash balance and projected cash inflow from customer receivables will
be adequate to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12
months.
17
If we require additional capital resources to grow our Company, we may seek to sell more equity
securities. The sale of equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. We may not
be able to obtain financing arrangements in amounts or on terms acceptable to us in the future. In
the event we are unable to obtain additional financing when needed, we may be compelled to delay or
curtail our plans to develop our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our
operations, market position and competitiveness.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Companys periodic Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the
Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures for the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Companys Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys internal control
over disclosure controls and procedures was effective as of March 31, 2011.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
|
|
|
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings |
As previously reported in an 8-K filed January 20, 2011 with date of earliest event reported
being January 14, 2011, on January 6, 2011, we entered into a Partial Settlement Agreement, dated
January 5, 2011 (the Settlement Agreement), with Arens Controls Company, L.L.C. (Arens) to
resolve certain claims made by Arens in connection with its action captioned Arens Controls
Company, L.L.C. v. Enova Systems, Inc., filed in 2008 with the Northern District of Illinois of the
U.S. District Court (the Legal Action). The Settlement Agreement was amended by Amendment No. 1
to Partial Settlement Agreement (the Amendment) dated January 14, 2011.
In the Legal Action, Arens asserted eight counts against Enova, including certain claims
regarding inventory asserted by Arens to be valued at $1,671,000 (the Inventory Claim), a claim
for payment under certain invoices, and claims for certain other monetary obligations of Enova to
Arens.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, we paid $327,000 directly to Arens and Arens
dismissed with prejudice all but two of the counts under the Legal Action. Additionally, under the
Settlement Agreement (as amended), on January 14, 2011, we
18
acquired the inventory that was the subject of the Inventory Claim (the Inventory) for a payment
of $1,498,000, representing an agreed upon reduction of $173,000 for the acquisition price of such
Inventory. In return, Arens was deemed to have released us from any further liability on the
Inventory Claim. However, per the terms of the Settlement Agreement (as amended), Arens is not
deemed to have released us from (but instead is deemed to have preserved its claims under) two of
the counts in the Legal Action. We intend to vigorously defend such remaining claims. For the year
ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a loss totaling $328,000 for the Partial Settlement
with Arens, consisting of losses of $167,000 for settlement of certain claims and $161,000 for
inventory valuation and acquisition costs. For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we recorded an
additional loss of $41,000 for inventory valuations.
We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and disputes (some of which involve
substantial amounts claimed) arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating
to commercial transactions. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of
occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes in
these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses (taking into consideration any
insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside
legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.
Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation, we do not believe it is possible to develop
estimates of the range of reasonably possible loss in excess of current accruals for these matters.
Considering our past experience and existing accruals, we do not expect the outcome of these
matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time,
potential liabilities are subject to change due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy
or the impact of evidentiary requirements, which could cause us to pay damage awards or settlements
(or become subject to equitable remedies) that could have a material adverse effect on our results
of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.
There have been no other material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
