ENER1, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1" or the "Company") include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

On April 24, 2008, Ener1effected a 1 for 7 reverse stock split of its common stock. All share related information for prior periods has been adjusted throughout this Form 10-Q on a retroactive basis to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Ener1, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FSP 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods for those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on the consolidated financial statements when it is applied to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis beginning in the first quarter of 2009.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). This standard permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and is effective for fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 159 must be applied prospectively, and the effect of the first re-measurement to fair value, if any, should be reported as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 and no election was made since the Company does not maintain any financial assets or financial liabilities at such time.
 
8

 
In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, Share-Based Payment (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 amends SAB 107 and allows for the continued use, under certain circumstances, of the “simplified method” in developing an estimate of the expected term on stock options accounted for under SFAS No. 123R. SAB 110 is effective for stock options granted on or after January 1, 2008. The Company will continue to use the simplified method until there is sufficient historical data necessary to provide reasonable estimates of expected lives in accordance with SAB 107, as amended by SAB 110.

Future Adoption of Accounting Standards
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). This standard requires additional quantitative disclosures (provided in tabular form) and qualitative disclosures for derivative instruments. The required disclosures include how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; relative volume of derivative activity; the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments; the accounting treatment for those derivative instruments formally designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge relationship; and the existence and nature of credit-related contingent features for derivatives. SFAS No. 161 does not change the accounting treatment for derivative instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Nature of the Business
 
Ener1 is a Florida corporation, founded in 1985. In January 2002, Ener1 Group, Inc. (“Ener1 Group”) acquired a majority interest in the Company and owns approximately 62% of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of June 30, 2008.

The Company operates in three primary lines of business conducted through three operating subsidiaries: (i) EnerDel, an 80.5% owned subsidiary which is 19.5% owned by Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”) develops lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries for automotive, military and other industrial uses, (ii) EnerFuel, a wholly-owned subsidiary, develops fuel cell products and services and (iii) NanoEner, also a wholly-owned subsidiary, develops technologies, materials and equipment for nano-manufacturing. On July 11, 2008, Ener1 and Delphi entered into a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) under which Ener1 and Delphi will restructure their respective equity participations in EnerDel. See Note 17 - Subsequent Events.


At June 30, 2008, the accounts receivable balance was comprised of $1,036,000 relating to cost-sharing arrangements and $61,000 relating to the sale of engineering services. At December 31, 2007, the accounts receivable balance was comprised of $102,000 relating only to the sale of engineering services.

Ener1 generally recognizes revenue from cost-sharing arrangements with federal government agencies as a reduction of research and development expenses and revenue from cost-sharing arrangements with commercial entities using the percentage of completion method. To date, these cost-sharing arrangements have been for the development and sale of a customer specified prototype and the costs incurred are classified as research and development expenses, as opposed to cost of sales.

Note 4 - Equipment Deposits and Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2008, equipment deposits were $3,167,000 and restricted cash was $3,593,000.

The restricted cash is in the form of letters of credit issued by a financial institution. The restricted cash is held in interest bearing accounts and will automatically renew in 90 day increments unless the terms are otherwise changed by Ener1. The letters of credit will expire at various times throughout 2008 and guarantee Ener1’s performance obligations to purchase certain equipment to be used by EnerDel, including, but not limited to a master equipment lease agreement.

Note 5 - Equipment Lease Agreement

In May 2008, Ener1 entered into a $7 million master equipment lease agreement, with an unrelated third party, for an initial term of one year, renewable upon mutual consent. Under the terms of the agreement, Ener1 may lease newly acquired equipment to be used in connection with the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries. Installation, construction and other non-equipment costs are excluded from this financing agreement. Ener1 has an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease at the lower of fair market value or 10% of the original cost.

The lease has a term of three years and a stated interest rate of 10%. In accordance with the master equipment lease agreement, upon approval of the initial draw Ener1 issued 17,559 shares of common stock valued at $105,000. The value of the shares has been recorded to debt origination costs and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the initial lease draw of three years.

Pursuant to the master equipment lease agreement, Ener1 is committed to issue $42,857 of Ener1 common stock for each additional $1 million drawn under the master equipment lease agreement up to a maximum aggregate of $300,000 of Ener1 common stock.

Ener1 anticipates recording the obligation under the initial draw as a capital lease. The obligation will become effective when the equipment is delivered. At such time, the equipment deposits and restricted cash will: (i) partially reduce the liability associated with the capital lease, (ii) be refunded to Ener1 and restricted cash released or (iii) a combination of both.

Note 6 - Derivatives

As discussed in the following paragraphs, Ener1’s derivative liabilities ceased to exist due to the conversion of the 2004 Debentures and 2005 Debentures during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Ener1’s obligations relating to the 2004 Debentures and 2005 Debentures were settled at various dates throughout the three months ended March 31, 2008 (the “Conversion Dates”) when the holders of the debentures converted the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of Ener1’s common stock. On the Conversion Dates, the 2004 Debentures and the 2005 Debentures were no longer treated as derivative liabilities. The fair value of each derivative was marked to market on the date they no longer were accounted for as derivatives and derivative gain or loss was recorded. The balance of the derivative liability and the remaining unamortized discount was then recorded as a contribution to paid in capital on March 31, 2008.

In connection with the settlement of Ener1’s obligations under the 2005 Debentures, Ener1 re-evaluated the derivative treatment for the 2005 Debenture Warrants and concluded that the warrants no longer met the definition of a derivative liability. The fair value of the derivative was marked to market on March 26, 2008, the last conversion date for the 2005 Debentures and a gain on derivative liabilities was recorded. The balance of the derivative liability was then recorded as a contribution to paid in capital on the same date.

As a result, the 2004 Debentures and 2005 Debentures are no longer deemed to be derivatives under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. The debenture conversions were recorded at various dates during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Each debenture conversion was valued at fair value on the date of conversion and a corresponding derivative gain or loss was recorded. The remaining derivative liability was recorded as a contribution to paid in capital on such date.

The remaining derivative liability was then recorded as a contribution to paid in capital on such date.
 
Ener1 uses a lattice valuation model to value the compound embedded derivative features in the 2004 Debentures and 2005 Debentures and the Black-Scholes pricing model for determining the fair value of its warrant derivatives.

Lattice Valuation Model

Ener1 has been valuing the compound embedded derivative features in the 2004 Debentures and 2005 Debentures using a lattice valuation model with the assistance of a valuation consultant.

The primary determinants of the economic value of a compound embedded derivative under the lattice model are (1) the price of Ener1's common stock, (2) the volatility of Ener1's common stock price, (3) the likelihood that Ener1 will be required to pay registration delay expenses, (4) the likelihood that an event of default or a change in control will occur, (5) the likelihood that the conversion price will be adjusted, (6) the likelihood that Ener1's common stock will be listed on an exchange, (7) the likelihood that Ener1 will be able to obtain alternative financing and (8) the likelihood that Ener1 would be able to force conversion of the debentures.

Based on the foregoing assumptions, the fair value of the embedded derivatives as of March 26, 2008, January 14, 2008 (the significant conversion dates) and December 31, 2007, were calculated by management to be $435,000, $999,000 and $1,188,000 respectively.

Black-Scholes Pricing Model

Ener1 used the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair values of the 2005 Debenture Warrants. The model uses market sourced inputs such as interest rates, stock prices, and option volatilities, the selection of which requires management’s judgment, and which may impact net income or loss.  

Ener1 uses volatility rates based upon the closing stock price of its common stock since January 2002, when Ener1 underwent a change in control. Ener1 determined that share prices prior to this period do not reflect the ongoing business valuation of its current operations. Ener1 uses a risk free interest rate which is the U.S. Treasury bill rate for securities with a maturity that approximates the estimated expected life of a derivative or security. Ener1 uses the closing market price of the common stock on the date of issuance of a derivative or at the end of a quarter when a derivative is valued at fair value. The volatility factor used in the Black-Scholes pricing model has a significant effect on the resulting valuation of the derivative liabilities on the balance sheet. The volatility has ranged from 296% to 128% during the last four years.

The following table shows the volatility, risk free interest rate and market price used in the calculation of the Black-Scholes call value for each derivative at issuance date and at March 31, 2008:

Note 7 - Debt

The following share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect a 1 for 7 reverse stock split effective April 24, 2008.

2004 Senior Secured Convertible Debentures

In January 2004, Ener1 issued $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2004 Debentures and warrants to purchase 2,285,715 shares of Ener1’s common stock. The net proceeds of the issuances were $18,527,000.

On February 22, 2008, in accordance with the terms of the debentures, Ener1 sent a notice to holders of the 2004 Debentures of its intention to prepay the entire remaining principal amount of the 2004 Debentures in cash at an amount equal to 101% of the face value plus interest. The prepayment was scheduled to occur on March 24, 2008 unless the holders converted their debentures into common stock before that date.

On March 11, 2008, $4,000,000 of principal was converted into 761,905 shares of common stock of Ener1 at a per share conversion price of $5.25 rather than the $5.46 current conversion price and an expense related to the inducement to convert debt of $203,000 was recorded for the 29,304 additional shares received. On March 20, 2008, all $5,634,048 of remaining outstanding principle plus $119,036 of accrued interest was converted into 1,053,678 shares of common stock of Ener1 at a per share conversion price of $5.46. At the issuance date, the 2004 Debentures were convertible at a price of $8.75 per share, which has been adjusted for dilutive issuances of common stock.
 
13

 
The warrants to purchase 2,285,715 shares of common stock had an exercise price of $17.57 per share at the issuance date, subject to adjustment. As of June 30, 2008, the adjusted exercise price was $8.89 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time through January 21, 2014.

Ener1’s obligations under the 2004 Debentures were partially secured by collateral, including land, building and battery production equipment owned by Ener1 Battery and used by EnerDel. As a result of the conversion of all outstanding 2004 Debentures, all security interests in the property of the Company securing the Company’s obligations under the 2004 Debentures were terminated.

Ener1 has been accounting for the conversion option in the 2004 Debentures as a derivative liability in accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. The terms of the 2004 Debentures included several features that Ener1 was required to account for as derivatives. These derivatives were bundled together as a single, compound embedded derivative instrument which was bifurcated and accounted for separately from the debenture under SFAS 133 and Derivatives Implementation Group Issue No. B15. Upon completion of conversion, the compound embedded derivative liabilities were treated as a contribution to paid in capital.

2005 Senior Secured Convertible Debentures

In March 2005, Ener1 issued $14,225,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2005 Debentures and warrants to purchase 1,016,072 shares of Ener1’s common stock. The net proceeds of the issuances were $13,134,000.

On March 13, 2008, in accordance with the terms of the debentures, Ener1 sent a notice to holders of the 2005 Debentures of its intention to prepay the entire remaining principal amount of the 2005 Debentures in cash at an amount equal to 103% of the face value plus interest. The prepayment was scheduled to occur on April 9, 2008 unless the holders converted their debentures into common stock before that date.

As of March 26, 2008, the outstanding principal amount of $2,080,933 plus $54,689 of accrued interest was converted into 442,158 shares of common stock of Ener1 at a per share conversion price of $4.83. At the issuance date, the 2005 Debentures were convertible at a price of $7.00 per share, which has been adjusted for dilutive issuances of common stock.

The 2005 Debenture Warrants were divided into Series A and Series B. The Series A warrants to purchase 609,643 shares of common stock had an exercise price of $8.05 per share at the issuance date, subject to adjustment; as of June 30, 2008, the adjusted exercise price was $5.25 per share. The Series B warrants to purchase 406,429 shares of common stock had an exercise price of $8.75 per share at the issuance date, subject to adjustment; as of June 30, 2008, the adjusted exercise price was $5.60 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time through March 11, 2010.

As a result of Ener1’s failure to meet certain milestone requirements in the 2005 Debentures, the holders of the 2005 Debentures had a security interest in all of the EnerDel common stock owned by Ener1. As a result of the conversion of all outstanding 2005 Debentures, all security interests in the property of Ener1, including pledges of Ener1’s ownership in EnerDel common stock, securing Ener1’s obligations under the 2005 Debentures were terminated.

Ener1 has been accounting for the conversion option in the 2005 Debentures as a derivative liability in accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. The terms of the 2005 Debentures included several features that Ener1 was required to account for as derivatives. These derivatives were bundled together as a single, compound embedded derivative instrument which was bifurcated and accounted for separately from the debenture under SFAS 133 and Derivatives Implementation Group Issue No. B15. Upon completion of conversion, the compound embedded derivative liabilities were treated as a contribution to paid in capital.

Note 8 - Redeemable Preferred Stock

EnerDel Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock
 
In October 2004, a subsidiary of Delphi purchased 8,000 shares of Non-Voting, Cumulative and Redeemable Series A Preferred Stock issued by EnerDel (“Series A Preferred Stock”) plus warrants to purchase Ener1 common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000.

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends as declared by the Board of Directors at the annual rate of 8.25%, which is payable in cash annually on December 31st. The dividends are cumulative. Payment of dividends had been restricted by the terms of the 2004 Debentures and 2005 Debentures, which the Series A Preferred Stock was subordinate to. As a result of the conversion of all of the 2004 and 2005 Debentures, payment of dividends is no longer restricted.

The Series A Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity in accordance with EITF Topic D-98, “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities” (“EITF D-98”), as the redemption feature is not solely within the control of Ener1 and is deemed to be conditional in nature. If EnerDel has not redeemed all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock on or before October 20, 2008, the holders may require EnerDel to redeem all of the Series A Preferred shares on 10 days notice. Ener1 can extend payment of the redemption price over four quarterly installments.

In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, Ener1 issued, on a post-split basis, warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.90 per share and warrants to purchase up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time through October 20, 2011. Ener1 is not required to register the resale of the warrants or of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

The fair value of the warrants was determined utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The significant assumptions used in the valuation are: the exercise prices as noted above; the market value of Ener1’s common stock on the date of issuance: $4.62 per share (post split); expected volatility of 207%; a risk free interest rate of approximately 1.74%; and a term of seven years.

Note 9 - Related Party Transactions

Intercompany Transactions with Ener1 Group

Ener1 Group and its subsidiaries have from time to time used various services and employees of Ener1. Ener1 bills Ener1 Group and its subsidiaries for the actual cost of these services and employees. Similarly, Ener1 has from time to time used various services and employees of Ener1 Group and its subsidiaries, and Ener1 Group has billed Ener1 for the actual cost of these services and employees.

Two of the Company’s directors, Dr. Peter Novak and Mike Zoi, collectively beneficially own 31% of the outstanding common stock of Ener1 Group, which owns approximately 62% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.

Significant transactions with Ener1 Group are approved by the independent members of Ener1’s Board of Directors.

Ener1 Group Convertible Notes and Warrants 

During 2006 and 2007, Ener1 Group loaned Ener1 an aggregate principal amount of $11,960,000. Ener1’s obligation to repay Ener1 Group has been recorded as subordinated convertible debt pursuant to notes issued, the (“Group Notes”), which bear interest at 10% per annum.

The following share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect a 1 for 7 reverse stock split effective April 24, 2008.

In connection with the Group Notes, Ener1 issued to Ener1 Group immediately exercisable warrants to purchase up to 7,714,286 shares of Ener1’s common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.80 to $4.20 per share, which was subsequently reduced to $2.10 per share in 2007. All warrants have a five-year term.

The Group Notes were subordinated to the rights of the holders of the 2004 and 2005 Debentures. Once Ener1's obligations under the 2004 and 2005 Debentures have been satisfied, the Group Notes can be converted, at Ener1 Group’s option, into shares of Ener1’s common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share.

In connection with the satisfaction of Ener1’s obligations under the 2004 and 2005 Debentures, Ener1 Group converted the $11,960,000 of outstanding principal and $1,884,717 in accrued interest into 3,955,634 shares of Ener1’s common stock on March 26, 2008.
 
As an inducement for Ener1 Group’s conversion of the Group Notes, Ener1 issued 142,858 warrants with an exercise price of $5.95 per share to Ener1 Group. The warrants are exercisable at any time through March 26, 2013. Ener1 used the Black-Scholes pricing model to value the warrants with a risk-free interest rate of 1.78%, the current stock price, at the date of issuance, of $5.60 per share, the exercise price of the warrants of $5.95 per share, the term of five years and volatility of 127.64%. The fair value of the warrants of $550,000 has been recorded to interest expense as an inducement to convert debt on March 26, 2008.

Ener1 had been accounting for the warrants and conversion features of the Group Notes as a beneficial conversion feature in accordance with EITF 00-27. The proceeds of the Group Notes were first allocated to the warrants at their relative fair value and credited to paid in capital. Ener1 used a Black-Scholes pricing model to value the warrants issued with the Group Notes. Ener1 recorded a discount to the Group Notes equal to the relative fair value of the warrants which is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Group Notes.

No entry was made to record the value of the conversion feature because the ability of the holder to convert was contingent upon Ener1’s repayment of the 2004 and 2005 Debentures which was considered outside the holders’ control. As a result of the conversion of the outstanding principal under the 2004 and 2005 Debentures, effective March 26, 2008, the contingency over the conversion feature was resolved and the intrinsic value of the conversion feature at the date of issuance of $3,608,000 has been recorded as a credit to paid in capital.

16


The unamortized discount related to the fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature, as of March 26, 2008, of $5,249,997 and $3,608,000, respectively, was recorded to interest expense in accordance with EITF 00-27.

Note 10 - Stock Issuances during the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

Note 11 - Comprehensive Income or Loss and Foreign Currency Translation

In accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, Ener1 is required to report its comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income, as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. A consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income has been presented as Ener1 has components of other comprehensive income, such as foreign currency translation adjustments.

The functional currency for EnerDel (Japan), Inc. is the Japanese yen. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date and equity accounts at historical exchange rates. Income and expense items of this subsidiary are translated at average monthly rates of exchange. The resulting translation gains or losses are included in comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity as “effects of exchange rates on consolidation” and totaled approximately $38,000 in losses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $23,000 in losses for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The EnerDel (Japan) subsidiary was formed in the fourth quarter of 2007. As a result, there is no gain or loss from effects of exchange rates on consolidation prior to January 1, 2008.

Note 12 - Stock-Based Compensation

At June 30, 2008, Ener1 had eight stock-based employee, executive, director, advisory board and consultant compensation plans.

Valuation and Expense Information under SFAS 123R 

Ener1 recorded share-based compensation costs of $1,489,000 and $512,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
17


As required by SFAS 123R, Ener1 estimates forfeitures of employee stock options and recognizes compensation cost only for the portion of those awards expected to vest. Forfeiture rate estimates for each plan are based on actual experience through December 31, 2007 and are adjusted annually to reflect actual forfeiture experience as needed. Included in the stock-based compensation cost of $1,489,000 is $330,000 in adjustments to reflect Ener1’s actual forfeiture rates and experience.

In connection with the adoption of SFAS 123R, Ener1 estimates the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model, applying the following assumptions, and amortizes the estimated fair value to expense over the option’s vesting period using the straight-line attribution approach.

Expected Term
The expected term represents the period over which the share-based awards are expected to be outstanding. It has been determined using the “shortcut method” described in SAB Topic 14.D.2, which is based on a calculation that determines the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term.

Risk-Free Interest Rate
Ener1 based the risk-free interest rate used in its assumptions on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with a remaining term equivalent to the stock option award’s expected term. The weighted-average risk-free interest rate used through June 30, 2008 was 4.0%.

Expected Volatility
Ener1 uses volatility rates based upon the weekly closing stock price of Ener1’s common stock since January 2002, when Ener1 underwent a change in control. Ener1 determined that share prices prior to January 2002 do not reflect the ongoing business valuation of Ener1’s operations. The weighted-average expected volatility used during the period options were granted was 122.6%.

Expected Dividend Yield
Ener1 does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future on its common stock. Accordingly, Ener1 uses a dividend yield of zero in its assumptions.

On January 15, 2008, in connection with his election to the Board of Directors of Ener1, a new director received options to purchase 42,858 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.18 per share. These options will vest one-third per year over three years. The fair value of these options on the date of grant using Black-Scholes was computed as $142,710 and, in accordance with SFAS 123R, will be expensed over the vesting period of three years.

On February 18, 2008, Ener1 granted options to an employee to purchase 42,858 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.49 per share. These options vest 21,428 on the date of grant and 21,429 in February 2009. The fair value of these options on the date of grant using Black-Scholes was computed as $170,400 and in accordance with SFAS 123R, $85,200 was immediately expensed on the date of grant and $85,200 will be expensed over the remaining vesting period.

In April 2008, Ener1 granted options to two employees to purchase 57,144 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.02 per share. These options vest one-third per year over three years. The fair value of these options on the date of grant using Black-Scholes was computed as $197,000 and, in accordance with SFAS 123R, will be expensed over the vesting period of three years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, Ener1 granted performance based options to several employees to purchase 67,505 shares of common stock at exercises prices ranging from $4.83 to $6.02 per share. These options are subject to specifically identified performance criteria and are subject to forfeiture if such performance criteria are not met. Upon achievement of the performance criteria, the options will become earned and will vest one third per year over a three year period. The fair value of these options on the date of grant using Black-Scholes was computed as $211,087, and in accordance with SFAS 123R will be expensed over the vesting period of three years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, Ener1 granted options to two employees to purchase 71,430 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.17 per share. These options vest in October 2009. The fair value of these options on the date of grant using Black-Scholes was computed as $241,405, and in accordance with SFAS 123R, will be expensed over the vesting period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, employees exercised 228,641 “cashless” options with exercise prices ranging from $1.61 to $2.10 per share. Ener1 issued 224,651 shares pursuant to such cashless exercise. The total intrinsic value of these options on the date of exercise was $1,256,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, options to purchase 279,719 shares issued to various employees were forfeited because vesting requirements were not met or the options expired in accordance with their terms.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, options to purchase 71,429 were cancelled and were not accompanied by a concurrent grant (or offer to grant) a replacement award held by an executive in connection with the amendment to an employment agreement. In accordance with SFAS 123R, the previously unrecognized compensation cost was recognized into expense on the cancellation date.

As of June 30, 2008, there was $3,440,013 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the stock options granted under Ener1 stock plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, Ener1 issued 142,858 warrants with an exercise price of $5.95 per share to Ener1 Group as an inducement to convert all the outstanding Group Notes. The warrants are exercisable at any time through March 2013. The fair value of the warrants was $550,000 and was recorded to interest expense as an inducement to convert debt.

In connection with Ener1’s equity private placement in November 2007, 8,228,578 warrants with an exercise price of $5.25 and an expiration date of May 19, 2008 were issued. Through the expiration date, 5,657,149 warrants were exercised resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $29.7 million. The remaining 2,571,429 warrants expired unexercised on May 19, 2008.

Note 14 - Earnings per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that would be issued upon exercise of common stock warrants. In calculating diluted net loss per share, the numerator is also adjusted to: (1) add back interest expense in the 2004 and 2005 Debentures; and (2) subtract the derivative gains on convertible securities to the extent the effect is dilutive.

Weighted-average common shares do not include the common stock equivalents resulting from common stock options because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is reflected in diluted net income or loss per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of outstanding convertible securities is reflected in diluted net income or loss per share by application of the if-converted method.

Share and per share data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 have been retroactively adjusted to reflect a 1 for 7 reverse stock split effective April 24, 2008.

Note 17 - Subsequent Events

On July 11, 2008, Ener1 and Delphi entered into a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) under which Ener1 and Delphi will restructure their respective equity participations in EnerDel. Upon consummation Delphi will transfer to Ener1 its equity interest in EnerDel, including its EnerDel Series A Preferred Stock and will relinquish its right to appoint a member to the Board of Directors of EnerDel. In exchange, Ener1 will transfer to Delphi 2,857,413 shares of Ener1 common stock and $8,000,000 in cash and will revise the exercise price for certain warrants held by Delphi exercisable into 750,000 shares of Ener1 common stock from $7.00 to $5.25 per share (the “Consideration”). In addition, upon payment of the Consideration to Delphi, all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been paid in full.

Prior to entering into the Agreement, Ener1 requested a fairness opinion with respect to the Consideration given, from a financial point of view. The fees incurred to obtain this opinion have been capitalized as of June 30, 2008 and will become part of the purchase price allocation when the transaction is consummated. On July 31, 2008, the Federal Bankruptcy Court overseeing Delphi’s Chapter 11 case approved the Agreement. Consummation of the transaction occurred on August 12, 2008.

Ener1’s Board of Directors and majority shareholder unanimously approved an increase in the number of shares of authorized common stock from 135,714,286 to 150,714,286 which become effective on August 12, 2008.

All forward-looking statements are based on information available to us on the date of this filing, and we assume no obligation to update such statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

We have three business lines which we conduct through our three operating subsidiaries. EnerDel, an 80.5% owned subsidiary which is 19.5% owned by Delphi Corporation, (“Delphi”) develops lithium-ion batteries for automotive, military and other industrial uses. EnerFuel, a wholly-owned subsidiary, develops fuel cell products and services. NanoEner, also a wholly-owned subsidiary, develops technologies, materials and equipment for nanomanufacturing.

In July 2008, we entered into an agreement with Delphi to restructure our respective ownership interests in EnerDel. The terms of the Agreement include, but are not limited to, Delphi transferring its equity interest in EnerDel to Ener1, including its EnerDel Series A Preferred Stock. In exchange, we will transfer to Delphi 2,857,413 shares of Ener1 common stock, $8,000,000 in cash and reduce the exercise price of certain warrants held by Delphi to $5.25 per share. All accrued and unpaid dividends on the EnerDel Series A Preferred stock will be deemed paid in full upon payment of the foregoing consideration. On July 31, 2008, the Federal Bankruptcy Court overseeing Delphi’s Chapter 11 case approved the Agreement. Consummation of the transaction occurred on August 12, 2008.

Currently, we generate minimal revenue from sales of Ener1’s products. Substantially all of our planned products are still under development. We will require significant capital to continue our product development activities in order to commercialize our technology.
 
24


We have developed a lithium-ion battery for hybrid electric vehicles (“HEVs”) that we believe has significant competitive advantages because of its safety, power and other performance characteristics. In particular, our battery chemistry, which uses lithium titanate for the anode material, does not experience thermal problems that sometimes occur in lithium-ion batteries used in consumer electronics. Our HEV battery cell was developed under an ongoing program with the United States Advanced Battery Consortium (“USABC”). The USABC is a consortium of the three largest U.S. automobile manufacturers -- Ford, General Motors and Chrysler, with funding provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”).

We are also developing a lithium titanate battery for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (“PHEVs”) under an award from the DOE which is expected to be managed by the USABC. In addition, we are currently delivering pre-production lithium-ion battery packs for an electric vehicle (“EV”) for Think Global SA (“Think”), which we expect to begin shipping in December 2008. The first generation battery for this electric vehicle uses a hard carbon anode which we intend to replace with lithium titanate when the next generation battery is developed.

The major automotive companies have discussed and/or announced plans to introduce lithium-ion batteries in HEVs and PHEVs with varying dates. Extensive additional testing and evaluation by the automotive industry is required before the lithium-ion battery technology is adopted. Our HEV lithium-ion batteries are undergoing extensive testing, the results of which are evaluated by our prospective customers and the USABC.

EnerFuel is developing what it believes will be the next generation of high-temperature fuel cells, intended to address the fuel cell industry's need for fuel cells that are smaller, less costly and less complex. EnerFuel is pursuing fuel cell related opportunities in the portable power, auxiliary power, distributed power and backup power markets.

NanoEner, our nanotechnology subsidiary, has built prototype equipment that utilizes our proprietary vapor deposition and solidification (“VDS”) process for depositing materials onto battery electrodes as part of the battery cell manufacturing process. NanoEner is developing electrodes produced using this process for testing during 2008.

Results of Operations

While we had no significant sales or gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2008, sales increased $416,000 from $118,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $534,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The primary cause for the increase is due to EnerDel’s revenue for prototypes under the Think supply agreement.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

Net income (loss). We reported a net loss of $21,550,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008; an increase of $5,347,000, or 33%, when compared to a net loss of $16,203,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in net loss was due to an increase in interest expense of $4,464,000, an increase in net research and development expenses of $3,762,000, and an increase in general and administrative expenses of $617,000. These increases in expenses have been partially offset by an increase in the gain on derivative liabilities of $2,433,000 and a decrease in warrant modification expense of $583,000.

Losses from operations. We reported losses from operations of $12,974,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $3,447,000, or 36%, when compared to losses from operations of $9,527,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in operating losses was attributable to increases in general and administrative expenses of $617,000 and net research and development expenses of $3,762,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in warrant modification expense of $583,000. We had no significant sales from continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2008 or 2007.

25


General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. G&A increased $617,000, or 15%, to $4,761,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $4,144,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was due to an increase in advertising and trade show expenses of $281,000, an increase in facilities related expenses of $202,000, an increase in salary and employee benefits, including stock based compensation, expenses of $127,000, and an increase in licensing fees directly related to the listing of our common stock on the American Stock Exchange of $101,000. These increases have been partially offset by a decrease of $150,000 in legal and professional fees.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses, net. Our net R&D expenses were $8,449,000 and $4,687,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $3,762,000, or 80%. The increase was due to an increase in salaries and related benefits of $2,243,000, an increase in outside services related to the production of prototypes of $716,000, an increase in travel expenses of $267,000, an increase in facilities related expenses of $177,000 and an increase in production materials of $89,000, net of reimbursements.

We report proceeds from cost-share R&D contracts that we enter into with the USABC, the Office of Naval Research (“ONR”) and the Florida Hydrogen Initiative (“FHI”) as a reduction of research and development expenses. Billings under contracts were $2,327,000 and $117,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $2,210,000, which partially offsets the increases in R&D expenses.

R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 included $5,896,000 of expenses incurred in connection with our battery business which is net of proceeds of $2,327,000, $2,088,000 of expenses incurred in connection with our fuel cell business, and $465,000 of expenses incurred in connection with our nanotechnology business. R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included $3,091,000 of expenses incurred in connection with our battery business which is net of proceeds of $117,000, $1,184,000 of expenses incurred in connection with our fuel cell business, and $412,000 of expenses incurred in connection with our nanotechnology business.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $11,625,000 and $7,161,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $4,464,000, or 62%. The increase was primarily due to the non-cash interest expenses recorded in connection with Ener1 Group’s conversion of the convertible notes into shares of common stock.

Gain on derivative liabilities. Gain on derivative liabilities increased $2,433,000 from $1,503,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $3,936,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was associated with marking to market the value of the embedded derivatives on the date that the financial instruments were converted or changed in status.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2008, we had working capital of $32,308,000. Our available cash at June 30, 2008 was $34,020,000. We used $12,638,000 of cash for operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008, which was funded through our available cash.

We currently have $14,699,000 in commitments to purchase equipment. As of June 30, 2008, we have expended, in cash, $7,909,000 towards this commitment comprised of $1,154,000 in capital expenditures and $6,755,000 in equipment deposits and restricted cash. The restricted cash is in the form of letters of credit issued by a financial institution guaranteeing our performance under the purchase commitment. The restricted cash is held in interest bearing accounts and automatically renews in 90 day increments unless we change the terms. The letters of credit will expire at various times throughout 2008.

In May 2008, we executed a $7 million master equipment lease agreement, with an unrelated third party, to lease equipment for use in our lithium-ion battery production. The lease has a term of three years and a stated interest rate of 10%. We have an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease at the lower of fair market value or 10% of the original cost. Upon approval of the initial draw we issued 17,559 shares of Ener1 common stock valued at $105,000 to the unrelated third party. We are further committed to issue $42,857 of common stock for each additional $1 million drawn under the agreement up to a maximum of $300,000 of Ener1 common stock. Our obligation under the initial draw will become effective when the equipment is delivered. At such time, the equipment deposits and restricted cash will: (i) partially reduce the liability associated with the lease, (ii) be refunded to us and restricted cash released or (iii) a combination of both.

We moved our corporate headquarters to New York in May 2008 in preparation for our listing on the American Stock Exchange, which was effective May 8, 2008, under the ticker symbol “HEV.” We entered into a sub-lease agreement for our former corporate offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a cash savings of approximately $330,000 over the original lease term.

On April 14, 2008, we announced a reverse stock split of Ener1’s common stock at a ratio of one share for every seven shares held. The reverse split was effective on April 24, 2008, at which time our existing shareholders received one share of Ener1’s common stock for every seven shares which they then held. We also approved a reduction of authorized shares in the same ratio as the reverse split. Prior to effecting the split, we had 950,000,000 authorized common shares and 695,411,696 common shares issued and outstanding. After effecting the reverse split, we had 135,714,286 authorized common shares and 99,344,528 common shares issued and outstanding. On April 24, 2008, we filed an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse split of all of the outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of one-for-seven.

On July 22, 2008, we mailed an information statement to our shareholders regarding the actions approved by the Board of Directors and majority shareholder. Ener1’s Board of Directors unanimously approved, on April 14, 2008, the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock from 135,714,286 shares to 150,714,286 shares. The increase in the authorized shares became effective on August 12, 2008.

The following share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect a 1 for 7 reverse stock split effective April 24, 2008.

During the first quarter of 2008, holders of the 2004 and 2005 Debentures converted the remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest of $9,753,000 and $2,136,000, respectively into 2,257,741 shares of common stock at conversion prices ranging from $4.83 to $5.46 per share. The original principal amount at inception of the 2004 Debentures and the 2005 Debentures was $20,000,000 and $14,225,000, respectively, with stated maturity dates of January 2009 and March 2009, respectively.

Also during the first quarter of 2008, Ener1 Group converted the outstanding principal and accrued interest of $13,845,000 into 3,955,634 shares of Ener1’s common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share. The original principal amount at inception was $11,960,000 with maturity in the second quarter of 2009. As an inducement to convert debt, we issued 142,858 warrants to Ener1 Group with an exercise price of $5.95 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time through March 2013. The fair value of the warrants, using a Black-Scholes pricing model, of $550,000 was recorded to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

In connection with our equity private placement in November 2007, we issued 8,228,578 warrants with an exercise price of $5.25 and an expiration date of May 19, 2008. Through the expiration date, 5,657,149 warrants were exercised resulting in cash proceeds of $29.7 million. The remaining 2,571,429 warrants expired unexercised on May 19, 2008.

27


We believe that our operating activities are fully funded for at least the next twelve months at our present level of spending. At June 30, 2008, our balance sheet has improved and is almost debt free with the exception of our redeemable preferred stock, which has been surrendered by Delphi in connection with the restructuring of our ownership interests in EnerDel. The security interests in our assets that were granted in favor of the 2004 and 2005 Debenture holders have been released as a result of settlement in the form of conversions to common stock. We expect to receive approximately $6 million from existing cost-sharing contracts which will reduce our R&D expenses in 2008. This frees up cash for operations which we plan to invest in our future business plans. 

Critical Accounting Policies 

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Our critical accounting policies are described in the notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. This summary of critical accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements.

We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Certain estimates are subject to marketplace conditions, and are discussed below. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following are its most critical accounting policies because they require more significant judgments and estimates in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments

Following guidance by SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, the Company determined the conversion feature of the 2004 Debentures and 2005 Debentures and the warrants associated with the 2005 Debentures should be treated as separate derivative liabilities on the balance sheet under current liabilities. Unrealized changes in the value of these derivatives are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative liabilities. Fair values of the derivative liability associated with the conversion features are determined using market based lattice pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and management assumptions. Fair values of the derivative liabilities associated with the warrants are determined using a Black-Scholes Pricing Model.
 
Share-Based Payments
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the Company estimates the fair value of each stock option, on the date of grant, using a Black-Scholes Pricing Model and amortizes the estimated fair value to expense over the vesting period of the option on a straight line basis. Key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model include estimates of (1) expected volatility, (2) an expected term, (3) discount rate and (4) expected dividend yield.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when an arrangement exists, prices are determinable, services and products are rendered or delivered and collectibility is reasonably assured.

28


We generally recognize revenue from research and development cost-sharing arrangements with federal government agencies as a reduction of research and development expenses. We generally recognize revenue from research and development cost-sharing arrangements with commercial entities using the percentage of completion method. To date, these contracts have been for the development and sale of a customer specified prototype and the costs incurred are classified as research and development expenses as opposed to cost of sales.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Interpretations

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). This standard requires additional quantitative disclosures (provided in tabular form) and qualitative disclosures for derivative instruments. The required disclosures include how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; relative volume of derivative activity; the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments; the accounting treatment for those derivative instruments formally designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge relationship; and the existence and nature of credit-related contingent features for derivatives. SFAS No. 161 does not change the accounting treatment for derivative instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

This item 3 is not applicable to us as, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, a smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by Item 305 of Regulation S-K.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in Ener1’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Ener1’s internal control over financial reporting.
