ENOVA SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
1. Description of the Company and its Business
Enova Systems, Inc. (Enova 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 development
and commercialization of power management and conversion systems for mobile and stationary
applications.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Information
The financial information as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 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 results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year. These condensed interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2006, which are included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then
ended.
Revenue Recognition
The Company manufactures proprietary products and other products based on design
specifications provided by its customers. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the
Securities and Exchange (SEC) Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104) as noted
in the criteria below:
|
|
|
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
|
|
|
|
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; |
|
|
|
|
The fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and |
|
|
|
|
Collectibility is reasonably assured. |
Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement The Company retains all terms of an arrangement in a
written contract signed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue.
Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Performed 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 are complete. Equipment is considered
delivered upon delivery to a customers designated location.
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.
6
Collectibility is Reasonably Assured The Company determines collectibility is reasonably assured
prior to recognizing revenue. Collectibility 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 collectibility 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 collectibility is not reasonably assured, revenue is
recognized on a cash basis. Additionally, in accordance with SAB 104, 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.
Revenues from milestone payments are recognized when earned, as evidenced by written
acknowledgment from the customer, provided that (i) the milestone event is substantive and its
achievement was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement, and (ii) our performance
obligations after the milestone achievement will continue to be funded by our collaborator at a
comparable level to that before the milestone achievement. If both of these criteria are not met,
the milestone payment is recognized over the remaining minimum period of our performance
obligations under the agreement. Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Issue 00-21. EITF Issue 00-21 addressed the accounting for arrangements
that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use
assets. Specifically, Issue 00-21 requires the recognition of revenue from milestone payments over
the remaining minimum period of performance obligations. As required, we apply the principles of
EITF 00-21 to multiple element agreements.
The Company recognizes engineering and construction contract revenues using the
percentage-of-completion method, based primarily on contract costs incurred to date compared with
total estimated contract costs. Customer-furnished materials, labor, and equipment, and in certain
cases subcontractor materials, labor, and equipment, are included in revenues and cost of revenues
when management believes the Company is responsible for the ultimate acceptability of the project.
Contracts are segmented between types of services, such as engineering and construction, and
accordingly, gross margin related to each activity is recognized as those separate services are
rendered. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the
period in which they are determined. Claims against customers are recognized as revenue upon
settlement. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed are classified as current assets under
contract work-in-progress. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenues recognized to date are
classified as current liabilities under advance billings on contracts. In addition, 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.
Stock Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123(R)), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all
share-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and shares
issued through its employee stock purchase plan, based on estimated fair values. In March 2005, the
Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 (SAB 107) relating to
SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R). The
Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the
application of the accounting standard as of the beginning in 2006. The Companys financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R).
Stock compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of share-based
awards that are expected to vest during the period. Stock compensation expense recognized in the
Company statement of operations for 2006 includes compensation expense related to share-based
awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 that vested during the current period based on the grant
date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123. Stock
compensation expense in 2006 also includes compensation expense for the share-based awards granted
subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Company determination of estimated fair value of share-based awards
utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes valuation model is affected by the
Company stock price as well as assumptions regarding certain highly complex and subjective
variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company expected stock price
volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise
behaviors.
See Note 8 Stock Based Compensation Plans for further information on stock-based
compensation expense.
7
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.

million. The shares were sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Each investor
purchasing the shares of common stock represented that they were not a United States person as
defined in Regulation S. In Addition, neither the Company nor the placement agent conducted any
selling efforts directed in the United States.
8
All shares of common stock sold under this offering
included a restrictive legend, that results in the purchasers of these shares not being able to
resell these share unless they are in accordance with Regulation S.
Prior to September, 2005, for each meeting attended in person, each outside Director received
$2,000 in cash and $4,000 of stock valued on the date of the meeting at the average of the closing
ask and bid prices; for each telephonic Board meeting, each outside director received $500 in cash
and $500 of stock valued on the date of the meeting at the average of the closing ask and bid
prices; and for each meeting of a Board committee attended in person, a committee member received
$1,000 in cash and $1,000 of stock valued on the date of the meeting at the average of the closing
ask and bid prices. In September, 2005, the compensation structure for Directors was changed.
Effective in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, Directors receive quarterly
compensation at a flat rate of $4,000 in cash and $6,000 in stock valued on the last business day
of the quarter at the average of the closing ask and bid prices. The flat rate is not dependent on
the amount or type of services performed by the Directors. Compensation for the chairman of the
audit committee is $2,500 per quarter. The two audit committee members each receive $1,250 per
quarter, effective March 31, 2006. All Directors are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with attending Board and committee meetings.
5. Related Party Transactions

relative of the Companys CEO is a majority owner of a website consulting firm, which provides
services (branding) to the Company. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company
paid consulting fees and expenses to this firm in the amount of approximately $29,000.
6. Material Commitments
None
7. Subsequent Events
In October 2007, the Company entered into a Lease agreement with another company with respect
to the Lease of an approximately 43,000 square foot facility located at 1560 W 190th Street,
Torrance (the lease). The Lease term commences on November 1, 2007, and expires January 1, 2013.
The total basic monthly rent will be approximately $37,000 and will be incrementally increased each
year, based on the increase in the consumer price index. Under the lease, the Company will pay the
Landlord certain commercially reasonable and customary common area maintenance costs of
approximately $5,000 per month, increasing ratably as these costs are increased to the Landlord.
The Lease is secured by an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $200,000 and
naming the Landlord as beneficiary.
8. Stock Based Compensations Plans
Stock Based Compensation Issued to Third Parties
The Company accounts for stock based compensation issued to third parties, including
customers, in accordance with the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No.
96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or
in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services , and EITF 01-9, Accounting for Consideration Given
by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendors Products). Under the provisions of
EITF 96-18, if none of the Companys agreements have a disincentive for nonperformance, the Company
records a charge for the fair value of the stock and the portion of the warrants earned from the
point in time when vesting of the stock or warrants becomes probable. EITF 01-9 requires that
the fair value of certain types of warrants issued to customers be recorded as a reduction of
revenue to the extent of cumulative revenue recorded from that customer. The Company has not given
any stock based consideration to a customer.

Stock Option Program Description
For the year ended December 31, 2006, 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 maximum number of shares issuable over the term of the 1996 Plan was limited to 65 million
shares. Options granted under the 1996 Plan typically have had an exercise price of 100% of the
fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date and expired no later than ten years
from the grant date. The 2006 Plan has a total of 3,000,000 shares reserved for issuance, none of
which have been granted. Stock options for the 1996 Stock Option Plan, and the 2006 Stock Option
Plan were approved by the stockholders. All stock options have terms of 10 years, except for
options issued to employees which have a term of 5 years, and generally vest and become fully
exercisable four years from the date of grant. The vesting schedule for stock option grants are
generally as follows: 25% of the grant vests upon one year from date of grant with the remainder of
the grant vesting in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter.
Quarter ended September 30, 2007
In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company elected to attribute the value of
share-based compensation to expense using the straight-line method, which was previously used for
its pro forma information required under SFAS 123. Share-based compensation expense related to
stock options and employee stock purchases was $20,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2007, and was recorded in the financial statements as a component of selling, general and
administrative expense.
Share-based compensation expense reduced the Companys results of operations as follows:

During the quarters ended September 30, 2007, and 2006 the Company did not grant any stock
options.
As of September 30, 2007, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet
recognized is $61,000. The weighted average period over which the future compensation cost is
expected to be recognized is 24 months. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax
intrinsic value, which is the difference between the Companys closing stock price on the last
trading day of the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and the exercise price times the number of shares
that would have been received by the option holders if they had exercised their options on
September 30, 2007. This amount will change based on the fair market value of the Companys stock.

9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-11,
Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards. EITF 06-11
provides for the recognition and classification of deferred taxes associated with dividends or
dividend equivalents on nonvested equity shares or nonvested equity share units (including
restricted stock units (RSUs)) that are paid to employees and charged to retained earnings. This
issue is effective for annual periods beginning after September 15, 2007. Also in June 2007, the
EITF ratified EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be
Used in Future Research and Development Activities. EITF 07-3 provides that nonrefundable advance
payments made for goods or services to be used in future research and development activities should
be deferred and capitalized until such time as the related goods or services are delivered or are
performed, at which point the amounts would be recognized as an expense. This issue is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 We have evaluated the potential impact of these
issues and anticipate that they will have no material impact on our financial position and results
of operations.
Also in June 2007, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued
Statement of Position (SOP) No. 07-1, Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting
Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for
Investments in Investment Companies. This SOP provides guidance for determining whether an entity
is an investment company and also addresses when the specialized industry accounting principles of
an investment company should be used by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor that
applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in the entity. This SOP is effective for
fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007. We have evaluated the potential impact of
this standard and anticipate it will have no material impact on our financial position and results
of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS
157 clarifies that fair value is the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Further, the standard establishes
a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands
certain disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material
impact on its financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value which are not currently required to be measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses related to these financial instruments reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting
date. SFAS 159 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and will be adopted by the Company January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect
the adoption of SFAS 159 to result in a significant impact on its financial position, cash flows
and results of operations.
11
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In The Current Year
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 48
(FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and
disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects
to take on a tax return. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2006. Enova adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the
implementation of FIN 48, the Company had no changes in the carrying value of its tax assets or
liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company files federal income tax returns in the United States (U.S. or US). The
Company is no longer subject to U.S. state, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities
for years before 2003. Certain U.S. Federal returns for years 2006 and following are not closed by
relevant statutes of limitation due to unused net operating losses reported on those returns.

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2006.
Overview
The Company believes it is a leader in the development and production of proprietary,
commercial digital power management systems for transportation vehicles and stationary power
generation systems. Power management systems control and monitor electric power in an automotive or
commercial application such as an automobile or a stand-alone power generator. Drive systems are
comprised of an electric motor, an electronics control unit and a gear unit which power an electric
vehicle. Hybrid systems, which are similar to pure electric drive systems, contain an internal
combustion engine in addition to the electric motor, eliminating 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. Stationary power
systems utilize similar components to those which are in a mobile drive system in addition to other
elements. These stationary systems are effective as power-assist or back-up systems, alternative
power, for residential, commercial and industrial applications.
A fundamental element of the Companys strategy is to develop and produce advanced proprietary
software, firmware and hardware for applications in these alternative power markets. Our focus is
digital power conversion, power management, and system integration, for two broad market
applications vehicle power generation and stationary power generation.
12
Specifically, we develop, design and produce drive systems and related components for
electric, hybrid-electric, fuel cell and microturbine-powered vehicles. We also develop, design and
produce power management and power conversion components for stationary distributed power
generation systems. These stationary applications can employ hydrogen fuel cells, microturbines, or
advanced batteries for power storage and generation. Additionally, we perform research and
development to augment and support others and our own related product development efforts.
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.
The Companys primary market focus centers on both series and parallel heavy-duty drive
systems for multiple vehicle and marine applications. A series hybrid system is one where only the
electric motor connects to the drive shaft; a parallel hybrid system is one where both the internal
combustion engine and the electric motor are connected to the drive shaft. We believe series-hybrid
and parallel hybrid medium and heavy-duty drive system sales offer Enova the greatest return on
investment in both the short and long term. We believe the medium and heavy-duty hybrid markets
best chances of significant growth lie in identifying and pooling the largest possible numbers of
early adopters in high-volume applications. We will attempt to utilize our competitive advantages,
including customer alliances, to gain greater market share. By aligning ourselves with key
customers in our target market(s), we believe that the alliance will result in the latest
technology being implemented and customer requirements being met, with a minimal level of
additional time or expense. Additionally, our management believes that this area will see
significant growth over the next several years. As we penetrate more market areas, we are
continually refining and optimizing both our market strategy and our product line to maintain our
leading edge in power management and conversion systems for mobile applications.
On August 1, 2007, the
Company sold 2,218,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the placing agreement at approximately US $5.35 per
share to certain eligible offshore investors for approximately US $11,698,000 in gross proceeds. The placement
agent received a 5% selling commission, resulting in proceeds to Enova before offering expenses of approximately
US $11,000,000. The Company plans to utilize these funds to support our working capital needs, to continue to
support our research and development initiatives, and to further support the rollout of our production infrastructure.
Furthermore, the Company is beginning to build a worldwide service and support capability, which will also utilize
the funds we have raised. In the third quarter of 2007, The Company hired full time staff in both Asia and Europe,
to support our global operations. Finally, in the next few months, we will be expanding into a larger facility and
expect to incur costs associated with customizing the facility and transferring our operations.

In August, 2006, we entered into a contract with Verizon to design, integrate, and deliver 13
service vans. As of September 30, 2007, all 13 vans have been delivered to Verizon. In 2007, we
continue to work actively with Verizon. Our current work with Verizon includes continued
engineering, drive cycle research, and miniaturization. We currently finalized integration into a
14th prototype vehicle. We believe working with the 2nd largest fleet operator in North America
will generate further exposure in the domestic market, and bring additional focus on our unique
fleet solutions.
In December, 2006, we announced a production contract with the Tanfield Group Plc., which we
expect will lead to production of up to 304 units in 2007. We expect that this agreement will help
to consolidate our position as a market leader in Europe. As of September 30, 2007, we have shipped
140 units to the Tanfield Group.
In July, 2007, we entered into a partnership with a major Asia-based original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) to integrate and test its unique proprietary Post Transmission Parallel Hybrid
system. The system is targeted for integration and/or retrofit into North American delivered 2008
model year vehicles. This partnership illustrates what we believe to be greater market acceptance
of our Post Transmission Parallel Hybrid system, as well as further enhances our visibility in
Asia, which along with this OEM, include Hyundai, First Auto Works, and Tomoe.
In October 2007, the Company entered into a Lease agreement with another company with respect
to the Lease of an approximately 43,000 square foot facility located at 1560 W 190th Street,
Torrance (the lease). The Lease term commences on November 1, 2007, and expires January 1, 2013.
The total basic monthly rent will be approximately $37,000 and will be incrementally
13
increased each year, based on the increase in the consumer price index. Under the lease, the
Company will pay the Landlord certain commercially reasonable and customary common area maintenance
costs of approximately $5,000 per month, increasing ratably as these costs are increased to the
Landlord. The Lease is secured by an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $200,000
and naming the Landlord as beneficiary.
As part of our continuing strategic relationship with International Truck and Engine Corp (IC
Corp), we executed an agreement to produce the nations first 19 hybrid school buses. IC Corp is
the nations largest school bus manufacturer, claiming over 60% of the Domestic Build. In addition
to school buses, IC Corp is teaming with the Company to supply hybrid buses to the Commercial Bus
Market.
Throughout the third quarter of 2007, we hosted and visited numerous potential customers from
the Pick Up and Delivery, Medium Duty and Heavy Duty markets. Every effort is made to continue to
mature these relationships, as we believe they will eventually lead to viable business
relationships.
Enova has incurred significant operating losses in the past. As of September 30, 2007, we had
an accumulated deficit of approximately $113.3 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 our business outlook is improving. Greater recognition
and strong engineering have allowed us to make several key strides towards sustainable revenue. In
conjunction with this expected outlook, and consistent with our internal succession plan, we have
recently made several key management changes in the past months:
|
|
|
On August 28, 2007, Edwin Riddell retired as Chief Executive Officer as
previously announced on June 26, 2007. Mr. Riddell will remain on the board of directors. |
|
|
|
|
Michael Staran was appointed Chief Executive Officer on August 28, 2007. Mr. Staran previously had been appointed President and Chief Operating Officer effective July 1, 2007. |
|
|
|
|
In January 2007, Corinne Bertrand resigned as Chief Financial Officer. In her place,
Jarett Fenton was appointed as Chief Financial Officer. |
|
|
|
|
In February of 2007, John Dexter retired from his position as Director of Operations. |
We continue to receive greater recognition from both governmental and private industry with
regards to both commercial and military application of its hybrid drive systems and fuel cell power
management technologies. Although we believe that current negotiations with several parties may
result in development and production contracts during 2007 and beyond, there are no assurances that
such additional agreements will be realized.
During the third quarter of 2007, we continued to advance our technologies and products for
greater market penetration. We continue to develop independently and in conjunction with the
Hyundai-Enova Innovative Technology Center (ITC) progress on several fronts to produce commercially
available heavy-duty, series and parallel hybrid drive systems.
During the third quarter of 2007, we continued to develop and produce electric and hybrid
electric drive systems and components for First Auto Works of China, International Truck and Engine
(IC Corp), Ford Motor Company (Ford), Hyundai Motor Car, the US Military, Wright Bus of the United
Kingdom, and Tomoe of Japan as well as several other domestic and international vehicle and bus
manufacturers. We also were successful in introducing our technology to companies such as
Concurrent Technology Corporation (CTC), PUES (Tokyo Research and Development), Verizon,
Volvo/Mack, Tanfield/Smith Electric Vehicles and Navistar (International Truck and Engine, IC
Corporation). The continued relationships, in addition to our newest customers helped the Company
easily surpass, since our inception, the manufacturing of its 900th system. Our various electric
and hybrid-electric drive systems, power management and power conversion systems are being used in
applications including several light, medium and heavy duty trucks, train locomotives, transit
buses and industrial vehicles.
During October 2007 the Company reviewed its internal controls as of September 30, 2007,
and as discussed in Item 4 Controls and Procedures below is executing a myriad of remedial
actions to address the material weakness identified as referenced in our Form 10-K Annual
Report for the year ended December 31, 2006.

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, 2006
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) involve inherently uncertain issues which require managements
most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.
Cash and cash equivalents Cash consists of currency held at reputable financial institutions.
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 that is based on our estimate of future sales. 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.
Allowance for doubtful accounts We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated
losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The assessment
of the ultimate realization of accounts receivable including the current credit-worthiness of
each customer is subject to a considerable degree to the judgment of our management. If the
financial condition of the Companys customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment
of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Stock-based Compensation Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which requires
the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made
to employees and directors, including stock options and employee stock purchases related to the
Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Employee Stock Purchase Plan) based on their fair
values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees (APB 25), which the Company previously followed in accounting for
stock-based awards. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107)
to provide guidance on SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS
123(R).
The Company calculates stock-based compensation expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123
revised, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123 (R)). This pronouncement requires the measurement and
recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and
directors, including employee stock options to be based on estimated fair values. The Company
adopted SFAS 123 (R) using the modified prospective method, which requires the application of the
accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the beginning of the Companys 2006 fiscal year. In
March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) related to SFAS 123 (R).
The Company applied the provisions of SAB 107 in adopting SFAS 123 (R).
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 Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 and 104, Revenue Recognition, 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.
Under FAS Concepts No. 5, revenues are not recognized until earned.
15
The Company manufactures proprietary products and other products based on design specifications
provided by its customers. Revenue from sales of products are generally recognized at the time
title to the goods and the benefits and risks of ownership passes to the customer which is
typically when products are shipped based on the terms of the customer purchase agreement.
Revenue relating to long-term fixed price contracts is recognized using the percentage of
completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, contract revenues and related
costs are recognized based on the percentage that costs incurred to date bear to total estimated
costs. Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may
result in revisions to cost and revenue, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions
are determined. Contract costs include all direct materials, subcontract and labor costs and
other indirect costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. At
the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is accrued.
The aggregate of costs incurred and estimated earnings recognized on uncompleted contracts in
excess of related billings is shown as a current asset, and billings on uncompleted contracts in
excess of costs incurred and estimated earnings is shown as a current liability.
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.
Revenue. Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $5,143,000 as compared
to $1,073,000 for the corresponding period in 2006. Net revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 were $2,541,000 as compared to $312,000 for the corresponding period in 2006.
Net production sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased to $5,143,000 from
$634,000 in the same period in 2006. Net production sales for the three months ended September 30,
2007 increased to $2,541,000 from $293,000 in the same period in 2006. The significant increase in
total net revenues for the comparable periods primarily originate from our continued production
stage efforts, in particular, our streamlining of the manufacturing process. Our research and
development revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased to zero from $439,000
in the same period in 2006. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, research and development
revenues decreased to zero from $19,000 in the same period in 2006. The company did not have any
research and development revenues in the nine months of 2007, though we may realize research and
development revenues in the future. The significant decrease in these revenues represent a
migration from a development stage Company, into the early phases of our production stage. In the third
quarter of 2007, our revenues continue to be derived primarily from production contracts with
Tanfield, International, Wright Bus, Think, and the State of Hawaii. We believe we have improved
the awareness of our product and service offerings with clients in part because of our past
research and development results. Although we have seen strong indications for future production
growth, there can be no assurance there will be continuing demand for our products and services.
18
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenues consists of component and material costs, direct labor
costs, integration costs and overhead related to manufacturing our products. Product development
costs incurred in the performance of engineering development contracts for the U.S. Government and
private companies are charged to cost of sales for this contract revenue. Cost of revenues for the
nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 increased to $5,728,000 and $2,708,000, respectively
from $1,995,000 and $620,000 respectively, for the same period in 2006. This is primarily
attributable to the increase in sales for the named periods and minor increases in integration
support costs.
Gross Margin. Negative gross margin for the 2007 quarter and year to date is $167,000 and
$585,000, respectively. As a percentage of total net revenues, gross margins improved to a negative
7% and 23% from a negative 99% and 37% in addition to the absolute increase in dollars when
compared to the corresponding three and nine month periods for 2007 and 2006. As a result of
periodic evaluations of our production contracts, we determined certain contracts resulted in
increased cost to deliver the product. This increase related primarily to increased material cost
as well as increased labor and overhead. Additional human resource investments have allowed us to
stabilize our manufacturing process while simultaneously discussing volume discounts with
suppliers. We expect that these initiatives will contribute to improved production margins.
Research and Development. Internal research, development and engineering expenses decreased in
the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 to $815,000 and $203,000 respectively, as
compared with $929,000 and $297,000 respectively, for the same period in 2006. While we continue to
develop several new products such as our post transmission parallel hybrid drive system, engine off
capability, wireless software tracking and upgrade, and enhancements to our diesel generator set,
our focus has moved into the early phases of production type arrangements, which account for the
continued decrease in our internal research and development costs. We continue to allocate
necessary resources to the development of our parallel hybrid drive systems, upgraded proprietary
control software, enhanced DC-DC converters and advanced digital inverters and other power
management firmware.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (S, G, & A). Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $1,460,000 to $4,573,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2007 from the previous years comparable period. For the three months ended September 30, 2007,
selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $548,000 to $1,702,000 when compared to
the comparable period in 2006. The increase is attributable primarily to our migration into the
early phases of the production stage. S, G & A costs increased as a result of the Company hiring
additional human resources, both domestically, , and in both Asia and Europe. We have hired
additional personnel in the fields of engineering, technical, and, administrative as part of our
continued efforts to support current customers and to position the organization for potential
future growth. Furthermore, we will continue to experience increases in corporate governance and
regulatory compliance efforts associated with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.. The
Company has also increased our sales and marketing expenditures, our public relations expenditures,
and have incurred additional administrative costs associated with improving our internal processes
to support our early phases as a production stage Company. Management continues to explore cost
reduction strategies in 2007, albeit it is likely that our selling, general, and administrative
expenses will continue to increase in the near future.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $212,000 and $59,000 to $235,000 and $59,000 in
the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 respectively, when compared to the same period
in 2006. This decrease is a result of the Company having a smaller average cash balance for the
comparable periods in 2007 and 2006.
Net Loss. We realized a net loss of $5,868,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $2,073,000. We have incurred
additional costs, specifically in the selling, general, and administrative area to facilitate our
transition into a production stage company. These additional costs have increased our net loss when
compared to the comparable periods in 2006.
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 II, Item 1A-Risk Factors. 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 cash flow shortages due to operating losses primarily attributable to S,
G, & A, research and development, marketing and other costs associated with our strategic plan as
an international developer and supplier of electric propulsion and power management systems and
components. Cash flows from operations have not been sufficient to meet our obligations. Therefore,
we have had to raise funds through several financing transactions. The extent of our capital needs
will phase
19
out once we reach a breakeven volume in sales or developing and/or acquire the capability to
manufacture and sell our products profitably.
Our operations during the year ended December 31, 2006 were financed by development contracts
and product sales, as well as from working capital reserves.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our operations
required $7,640,000 more in
cash than was generated. We continue to increase marketing and development spending as well as
administrative expenses necessary for expansion to meet customer demand as well as corporate
governance and regulatory compliance efforts. Accounts receivable are $2,763,000, a 672% increase
from the balance at December 31, 2006 (net of write-offs). The increase is due to our increased
sales volume in the third quarter of 2007.
Inventory balances increased by $2,623,000 when comparing the balances at September 30, 2007
and December 31, 2006. This represents a 154% increase in the inventory balance between the two
periods. We have increased our materials purchasing volume during in the third quarter of 2007 to
support our current sales order volume, as well as anticipated increases in future sales volume.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by net $408,000 at September 30, 2007 from
the December 31, 2006 balance of $708,000, or 58%. The Company elected to transfer all Certificate
of Deposit balances to a money market account, resulting in a decline in the accrued interest
receivable of approximately $260,000 on investments of $5 million.
Fixed assets increased by $19,000, net of depreciation and writeoffs, at September 30, 2007,
when compared to the December balance of $627,000. In the third quarter of 2007, the Company
purchased $96,000 in new property and equipment. The Company
recognized $77,000 worth of
depreciation expense in the third quarter.
Equity method investments decreased by $130,000 in the nine months of 2007 from a balance of
$1,647,000 at December 31, 2006, reflecting a pro-rata share of losses attributable to our forty
percent investment interest in the Hyundai-Enova Innovative Technology Center (ITC). For the
quarter ended September 30, 2007, the ITC generated a net loss of approximately $325,000 resulting
in a charge to us of $130,000 utilizing the equity method of accounting for our interest in the
ITC.
Accounts payable increased in the third quarter of 2007 by $1,248,000 to $1,630,000 from
$382,000 at December 31, 2006. This increase is attributable to increased materials purchasing to
support current sales orders as well as anticipated future orders.
Deferred revenues decreased at September 30, 2007 by $332,000, when comparing to the December
31, 2006 balance of $399,000. This difference represents the realization of revenue that had been
deferred in December, predominantly associated with the Companys contract with the State of
Hawaii.
Accrued payroll and related expense increased by $112,000 or 51% at September 30, 2007, when
compared to the balance reported at December 31, 2006. The Company has continued to increase
headcount to support expanded production efforts.
Other accrued expenses increased by $1,106,000 at September 30, 2007 from the balance of
$664,000 at December 31, 2006, primarily due to the accrual of professional services, the
Company-wide software finalization, as well as accruals for certain un-invoiced inventory
purchases. Furthermore, the warranty accrual increased in proportion to our increase in sales.
Accrued interest payable increased to $837,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, an
increase of 14% from the balance of $735,000 at December 31, 2006. The increase is due to interest
related to our debt instruments.
In July 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution as placement
agent to sell 2,218,000 shares of common stock. The financial institution presently serves as the
Nominated Adviser in connection the listing of the Companys common shares on the Alternative
Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange.
On the closing date of August 1, 2007, pursuant to the placing agreement, the Company sold the
2,218,000 shares of common stock for approximately $5.35 per share to certain eligible offshore
investors. The Company received approximately US $11,698,000 in gross proceeds from the offering.
The financial institution received a 5% selling commission, resulting in proceeds to the Company
before offering expenses of approximately US $11,000,000. The offer and sale of the shares were
made pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Among other things, each investor
purchasing shares of the Companys common stock in the offering
20
represented that the investor is not a United States person as defined in Regulation S. In
addition, neither the Company nor the placement agent conducted any selling efforts directed at the
United States in connection with the offering. All shares of common stock issued in the offering
included a restrictive legend indicating that the shares are being issued pursuant to Regulation S
under the Securities Act and are deemed to be restricted securities. As a result, the purchasers
of such shares will not be able to resell the shares unless in accordance with Regulation S,
pursuant to a registration statement, or upon reliance of an applicable exemption from registration
under the Securities Act.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-11,
"Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards. EITF 06-11
provides for the recognition and classification of deferred taxes associated with dividends or
dividend equivalents on nonvested equity shares or nonvested equity share units (including
restricted stock units (RSUs)) that are paid to employees and charged to retained earnings. This
issue is effective for annual periods beginning after September 15, 2007. Also in June 2007, the
EITF ratified EITF Issue No. 07-3, "Accounting for Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be
Used in Future Research and Development Activities. EITF 07-3 provides that nonrefundable advance
payments made for goods or services to be used in future research and development activities should
be deferred and capitalized until such time as the related goods or services are delivered or are
performed, at which point the amounts would be recognized as an expense. This issue is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 We have evaluated the potential impact of these
issues and anticipate that they will have no material impact on our financial position and results
of operations.
Also in June 2007, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued
Statement of Position (SOP) No. 07-1, Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting
Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for
Investments in Investment Companies. This SOP provides guidance for determining whether an entity
is an investment company and also addresses when the specialized industry accounting principles of
an investment company should be used by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor that
applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in the entity. This SOP is effective for
fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007. We have evaluated the potential impact of
this standard and anticipate it will have no material impact on our financial position and results
of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS
157 clarifies that fair value is the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Further, the standard establishes
a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands
certain disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material
impact on its financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value which are not currently required to be measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses related to these financial instruments reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting
date. SFAS 159 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and will be adopted by the Company January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect
the adoption of SFAS 159 to result in a significant impact on its financial position, cash flows
and results of operations.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In The Current Year
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation 48
(FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and
disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects
to take on a tax return. This
21
interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Enova adopted
the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the
Company had no changes in the carrying value of its tax assets or liabilities for any unrecognized
tax benefits.
The Company files federal income tax returns in the United States (U.S. or US). The
Company is no longer subject to U.S. state, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities
for years before 2003. Certain U.S. Federal returns for years 2006 and following are not closed by
relevant statutes of limitation due to unused net operating losses reported on those returns.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate and Credit Risk. Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates
relates to our investment portfolio. Our primary investment strategy is to preserve the principal
amounts invested, maximize investment yields subject to other investment objectives and maintain
liquidity to meet projected cash requirements. Accordingly, we invest in instruments such as money
market funds, certificates of deposit, United States government/agencies bonds, notes, bills and
municipal bonds that meet high credit quality standards, as specified in our investment policy
guidelines. Our investment policy also limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issue,
issuer and type of instrument. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments in our
investment portfolio and we do not enter into market risk sensitive instruments for trading
purposes. We do not expect to incur any material losses with respect to our investment portfolio.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our management, under the
supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of September 30, 2007). Based on this evaluation, our
principal executive officer (Mr. Michael Staran) and principal financial officer (Mr. Jarett
Fenton) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006,
managements assessment identified a material weakness in our inventory process due to
ineffective controls over the inventory pricing, tracking, and reserve analysis. This control
deficiency resulted in an audit adjustment to our 2006 financial statements and could result
in a misstatement to cost of sales that would result in a material misstatement to the annual
and interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Our independent
registered public accounting firm, PMB Helin Donovan, concluded that these significant
deficiencies constituted a material weakness in our internal controls. Our management also
determined that these deficiencies constitute a material weakness that impacted our disclosure
controls and procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006
and continued through the period covered by this Form 10-Q.
22
Remedial Actions and Changes in Internal Control
We have developed and are in the process of implementing remediation plans to address our
material weakness. The details of those remediation plans are included in Item 9A, Controls
and Procedures of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006
incorporated herein by reference. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the following specific remedial
actions have also been put in place:
|
|
|
Created a regulatory compliance department in light of efforts for meeting
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The regulatory compliance department, in cooperation
and in conjunction with efforts by the Audit Committee and executive management, is
responsible for ensuring the operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial
reporting at the Company with the objective of appropriately addressing the risk of
material misstatement on the Companys financial statements. |
|
|
|
|
Began to formalize a quantitative first, qualitative additive risk-based approach to assessing control risk or the risk internal controls over financial reporting may
not prevent or timely detect a material misstatement on the Companys financial
statements as defined by the PCOAB and SEC. Our assessment was based on the Internal Control
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO). As a result of the risk assessment, we
identified key risk business processes, including, but not limited to, the
inventory process. |
|
|
|
|
Hired a full-time Controller to oversee the day-to-day functions of
the accounting and
finance department. The CFO acted in the capacity of the Controller prior to the
filling of the position. |
|
|
|
|
Hired a full-time Inventory Control Manager to summarize and manage
the movement or tracking of inventory throughout the production process. We also hired a full-time
Production Scheduler to manage the production schedule requirements and assist in
monitoring the production process. |
|
|
|
|
Hired a full-time Senior/Cost Accountant to assist in the
evaluation of the inventory accounts and job costing. |
|
|
|
|
Hired a full-time Shop Supervisor to handle the daily operations
of the production process. |
|
|
|
|
Established period end internal controls such as robust account
balance reconciliations, inspection of documents used to support the substance and form of inventory
transactions, including, the summarizing, recording, and processing with warehouse,
engineering, and production personnel, and executive management. |
During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we completed material sections of documentation
or evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting beyond that which had been completed
as of December 31, 2006 and are performing the above remedial actions. Other than as described
above, there have not been any other changes in our internal control over financial reporting as of
September 30, 2007, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
23
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business. As of November 14, 2007 and during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we
were not involved in any material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
We are exposed to significant costs and risks associated with complying with increasingly
stringent and complex regulations of corporate governance and disclosure standards. Changing laws,
regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and AMEX rules require growing expenditure of
management time and external resources. In particular, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 requires managements annual review and evaluation of our internal controls, and for fiscal
year 2008 attestations of the effectiveness of our internal controls by our independent registered
public accounting firm. This process has required us to hire additional personnel and outside
advisory services and may result in significant accounting, audit and legal expenses. We expect to
continue to incur expenses in future periods to comply with regulations pertaining to corporate
governance as described above.
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, 2006.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity and Use of Proceeds
On August 1, 2007, the Company sold 2,218,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the placing
agreement at approximately US $5.35 per share to certain eligible offshore investors for
approximately US $11,698,000 in gross proceeds. The placement agent received a 5% selling
commission, resulting in proceeds to Enova before offering expenses of approximately US $11,000,000. The offer and sale of the shares were
made pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Among other things, each investor
purchasing shares of the Companys common stock in the offering represented that the investor is
not a United States person as defined in Regulation S. In addition, neither the Company nor the
placement agent conducted any selling efforts directed at the United States in connection with the
offering. All shares of common stock issued in the offering included a restrictive legend
indicating that the shares are being issued pursuant to Regulation S under the
24
Securities Act and are deemed to be restricted securities. As a result, the purchasers of
such shares will not be able to resell the shares unless in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant
to a registration statement, or upon reliance of an applicable exemption from registration under
the Securities Act.
