SOLON, Ohio, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Energy Focus, Inc. (Nasdaq: EFOI) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Financial and operating highlights include the following:

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

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