Explanatory Note
 
The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 and related disclosures in this Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been restated in accordance with the changes described below.

In January 2010, Ener1 concluded that it was necessary to amend this Quarterly Report in order to restate its financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2008 to (1) reflect the corrected accounting for unamortized debt discount upon conversion of our 2004 Debentures and 2005 Debentures as interest expense and (2) reflect the corrected calculation for amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount for our 2004 Debentures, 2005 Debentures and Series A Preferred Stock.

The financial statements and other financial information included in this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been restated accordingly. Ener1's shareholders should no longer rely on Ener1's previously filed financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
In order to preserve the nature and character of the disclosures set forth in this Quarterly Report as originally filed, no attempt has been made in this Amendment No. 1 to modify or update the disclosures in the original Quarterly Report except that Ener1 has included the foregoing restatements in Part I, Item 1 and has made conforming changes to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I, Item 2 to reflect these restatements.

ENER1, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – Business Overview

Nature of the Business
Ener1, Inc. (“Ener1”), a Florida corporation, was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in New York.  In January 2002, Ener1 Group, Inc. (“Ener1 Group”) acquired a majority interest in Ener1 and, as of September 30, 2009, owns approximately 53% of the outstanding common stock of Ener1.

Ener1 (including our subsidiaries, referred to collectively in these unaudited consolidated financial statements as “Ener1,” “we,” “our” and “us”) operates primarily in the business of designing, developing and manufacturing high-performance, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and battery systems for energy storage.  End markets include transportation, stationary power (energy storage for utilities and renewable energy such as wind and solar power in addition to battery backup systems for residential use), military applications and small cell markets.  In the transportation markets, we are developing systems to power the next generation of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles (HEVs, PHEVs and EVs).  This technology is also being developed for other transportation markets including buses and trucks as well as alternative transportation vehicles.  We also conduct research on and develop fuel cells and nano coating processes.  In addition, our Enertech subsidiary specializes in small cell technology and manufactures electrodes for other battery manufacturers, commercial battery packs, prismatic cells and lithium polymer batteries and also manufactures large format cells for automotive applications.

Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The year end consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

On January 1, 2009, we implemented a new accounting standard that changed the accounting for and reporting of minority interest (now called noncontrolling interest) in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard resulted in the reclassification of amounts previously attributable to noncontrolling interest to a separate component of stockholders’ equity on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest is shown separately from net loss in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ener1 and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.  Amounts pertaining to the noncontrolling interests held by third parties in the operating results and financial position of our majority-owned subsidiaries are reported as a component of stockholders’ equity separate from Ener1’s equity.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Equity investments in which we exercise significant influence but do not exercise control are accounted for using the equity method.  Investments in which we are not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method.

Foreign Currencies
Subsidiaries located outside the United States of America use the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and equity accounts at the historical exchange rates.  Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during the year.  Any translation adjustments resulting from this process are shown separately as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reported net in other income (expense) in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, derivatives, inventory, impairments of long-lived assets including intangible assets, impairments of goodwill, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of long-lived assets, research and development, contingencies and litigation, as well as share-based payments, warrants, valuation of beneficial conversion feature, if any, on convertible securities and other financing matters. These estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Subsequent Events
In accordance with applicable accounting standards for the disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued, we have evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2009 up through November 9, 2009, the date we issued these financial statements.
 

Summary of Restatement Items

The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and related disclosures in this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been restated in accordance with the changes described below.

The balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 included in the Quarterly Report at the time of the initial filing on November 9, 2009 has been restated to adjust the opening retained earnings and paid in capital by $13,713,000 as a result of the restatement of the December 31, 2008 balance sheet.  The December 31, 2008 balance sheet and the income statement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were adjusted to (1) reflect the corrected accounting for unamortized debt discount upon conversion of our 2004 Debentures and 2005 Debentures as interest expense, and (2) reflect the corrected calculation for amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount for our 2004 Debentures, 2005 Debentures and Series A Preferred Stock.
 
The Company originally recorded the unamortized discount, upon conversion, associated with the 2004 Debentures and 2005 Debentures as additional paid in capital.  The 2007 and 2008 financial statements have been restated to reclassify the unamortized discount to interest expense. In addition, the Company used an effective interest rate that resulted in an overstatement of amortization of the deferred financing costs and debt discount for the 2004 Debentures, 2005 Debentures and Series A Preferred Stock.  The 2007 and 2008 financial statements have been restated to reflect the correct interest expense and net income attributable to minority interest.
 
The impact of the adjustments related to the accounting for the unamortized debt discount, deferred financing costs and discount accretion are summarized below (the following tables compare specific line items from the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 with the same line items from the financial statements for the corresponding three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, as previously reported by the Company on November 9, 2009):

Note 3 – New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted new accounting guidance for determining whether an instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to our own stock.  The new guidance has affected the accounting for (i) certain freestanding warrants that contain exercise price adjustment features (“down round provisions”) and (ii) convertible bonds issued by our foreign subsidiary with a strike price denominated in a foreign currency.  See Note 6, Derivative Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional information regarding the impact on the financial statements from the adoption of this guidance.

We adopted new accounting guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities on January 1, 2009.  The new guidance impacts disclosures only and requires additional qualitative and quantitative information on the use of derivatives and their impact on an entity’s financial statements.  See Note 6, Derivative Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments regarding our derivative instruments.

In January 2009, we adopted new accounting guidance on business combinations.  The new guidance requires an acquiring company to measure all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies, at fair value as of the acquisition date. In addition, an acquiring company is required to capitalize in-process research and development and either amortize it over the life of the product, or write it off if the project is abandoned or impaired.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

On January 1, 2009, we adopted new accounting guidance on fair value measurements.  This new guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. See Note 6, Derivative Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional information regarding our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

On January 1, 2009, we adopted new accounting guidance that requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion to separately account for the debt and equity components in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements. We continue to examine our convertible debt instruments for applicability under this guidance.

In June 2009, we adopted new guidance which requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. See Note 6, Derivative Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments for this information.

In September 2009, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”), as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, in the United States of America.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), (“SFAS 167”).  This standard has not yet been integrated into the Codification and will remain authoritative until integrated.  SFAS 167 amends previously issued accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities to require an enterprise to determine whether its variable interest gives it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity.  This new standard has broad implications and may affect how we account for the consolidation of equity method investments and other agreements and purchase arrangements.  Under this revised guidance, more entities may meet the definition of a variable interest entity.  We are evaluating all entities that fall within the scope of this amended guidance to determine whether we may be required to consolidate additional entities on January 1, 2010, which is the effective date of SFAS 167; however we have not yet completed our implementation analysis.  Accordingly, we have not determined the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial position or results of operation.

Construction in progress includes deposits for equipment being constructed by third parties specifically for our use.  Depreciation on these assets will commence when we place the assets in service.

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $3,997,000 and $559,000, respectively.  Assets recorded under capital leases were approximately $7,656,000 and $7,209,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs
In December 2008, as a commitment fee pursuant to a $30,000,000 Line of Credit Agreement (the “LOC Agreement”), Ener1 issued warrants to Ener1 Group to purchase up to 1,250,000 shares of Ener1 common stock and recorded the fair value of $5,088,000 as deferred financing costs.  On August 26, 2009, Ener1 entered into an Amended and Restated Line of Credit Agreement (the “A&R LOC Agreement”) with Ener1 Group and Bzinfin, S.A. (“Bzinfin”), the owner of a majority of the common stock of Ener1 Group, whereby Bzinfin, the new lender, extended the maturity date of the loans, among other amendments, to July 1, 2010.

The A&R LOC Agreement is with a different lender than the original LOC Agreement.  As a result, the remaining unamortized balance in deferred financing costs, as of August 26, 2009, of $2,872,000 was charged to additional paid in capital as early extinguishment of debt.

In connection with the A&R LOC Agreement, Ener1 issued to Bzinfin warrants to purchase up to 125,000 shares of Ener1 common stock at an exercise price of $8.25 per share.  The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire three years after the date of grant.  We used a Black-Scholes pricing model to value the warrants and the fair value of $445,000 has been recorded as deferred financing costs.  These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the 10 month term of the A&R LOC Agreement and totaled $45,000 during the month ended September 30, 2009.

The estimated future straight line amortization of these deferred financing costs is $134,000 in 2009 and $267,000 during 2010.

See Note 10, Related Party Transactions for additional information regarding the A&R LOC Agreement.

Intangible Assets
The useful lives of our assets are primarily based on the legal or contractual life of the underlying patent or contract, which does not include additional years for the extension or renewal of the contract or patent. Our amortization policy for intangible assets follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which requires that the amortization of intangible assets reflect the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed.

Certain intangible assets are subject to foreign currency translation and the translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the carrying amounts of certain intangible assets were adjusted as a result of foreign currency translations totaling approximately $116,000 due to fluctuations in the Korean Won, the local currency of Enertech.

We account for long-lived assets, including other purchased intangible assets, in accordance with US GAAP, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment, such as reductions in demand or significant economic slowdowns in industry, are present. Reviews are performed to determine whether the carrying value of an asset is impaired, based on comparisons to undiscounted expected future cash flows. If this comparison indicates that there is impairment, the impaired asset is written down to fair value, which is typically calculated using: (i) quoted market prices or (ii) discounted expected future cash flows.  Impairment is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.   We will continue to evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate that our long-lived assets may have been impaired.  Such evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses as well as other factors.  A significant change in these estimates could result in an impairment of our long-lived assets.

Intangible assets amortization expense was $512,000 and $1,583,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.  There was no amortization expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 since the intangible assets were first acquired during the fourth quarter of 2008.

The following table reflects the estimated future amortization expense related to intangible assets as of September 30, 2009 (in thousands):

Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.  Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) in the fourth quarter of each year, unless an event occurs that would cause us to believe the value is impaired at an interim date.  As of the date we issued these financial statements we have not completed the annual impairment test for goodwill.

The performance of the impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. We generally determine the fair value of our reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method.  If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill.

We will continue to evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the balance of goodwill may not be recoverable.  Such evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses as well as other factors.  A significant change in these estimates could result in an impairment of goodwill.

Certain components of goodwill are subject to foreign currency translation and the translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, goodwill was adjusted as a result of foreign currency translations totaling approximately $1,761,000 due to fluctuations in the Korean Won, the local currency of Enertech.

Convertible Bonds
On January 25, 2008, our Enertech subsidiary issued a $9,173,000 convertible bond maturing January 25, 2013 which is convertible into shares of Enertech common stock at a conversion price of 750 Korean Won per share. The conversion ratio is fixed to 11,564,092 shares if fully converted.  The bonds have a conversion period from April 2008 through December 2012. The convertible bonds accrue interest at 8.5% per annum which is payable at maturity if the bonds are not converted prior to their maturity.

We own approximately 96% of the outstanding balance of the convertible bonds at September 30, 2009 and as a result have eliminated the principal and related interest, in consolidation.  The amount of the remaining outstanding convertible bonds as of September 30, 2009 is $374,000.

We have evaluated the application of US GAAP to the convertible bonds with a strike price denominated in a foreign currency and have concluded that the conversion feature of the convertible bonds is required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability effective January 1, 2009.  See Note 6, Derivative Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, title and risk of loss are transferred, collectibility is reasonably assured, product returns are reasonably estimable and there are no remaining significant obligations or customer acceptance requirements.  Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time of shipment when title transfers and risk of loss occurs.  Ener1 offers customers a right of return and reserves for such returns are estimated using historical information.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our net sales consist primarily of battery related sales from our Enertech operations and a small amount of battery prototype sales from our EnerDel subsidiary.  At Enertech, sales are recorded when title passes to the customer which is the delivery point for domestic sales and the receipt point of bill of lading for export sales.  Currently, Enertech does not provide discounts, rebates, product guarantees or warranties.  We expect, in the future, that EnerDel will be providing a limited warranty on sales of battery packs for electric and hybrid electric vehicles.  The terms of such warranties and other post-shipment obligations may be negotiated on a customer by customer basis and we will establish the appropriate policies and accounting treatment based on such negotiations and final agreements.  We also expect that our customers will test a significant number of battery packs prior to acceptance.

Note 5 – Acquisitions

Enertech International, Inc.
We acquired Enertech on October 24, 2008 and as consideration in the acquisition, we paid $600,000 in cash and issued 5,000,000 shares of Ener1 common stock and warrants to purchase 2,560,000 shares of Ener1 common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share.  The warrants are immediately exercisable, contain a cashless exercise provision and expire in October 2010.  In addition, we incurred approximately $1,202,000 of third party transaction costs for a total purchase consideration of $47,408,000.

The following table presents the components of the purchase consideration (in thousands):

    36,825  
Warrants to purchase common stock
    8,781  
Transaction costs
    1,202  
Total Estimated Purchase Consideration
  $ 47,408  


The purchase price attributable to the 5,000,000 shares of Ener1 common stock was estimated by management based on the average closing price of Ener1’s common stock, as reported on the American Stock Exchange, for the five day period before and after October 16, 2008, the date that the terms of the acquisition were announced.  Based on the average closing stock price of $7.365, approximately $36,825,000 of the purchase price was attributable to the common stock.

The purchase price attributable to the warrants to purchase up to 2,560,000 shares of Ener1 common stock was estimated by management on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model.  Based on the fair value of the warrants of $3.43 per share, approximately $8,781,000 of the purchase price was attributable to the warrants.  The fair value of the warrants was estimated with the following key assumptions:

On January 7, 2009, we filed a registration statement to register the resale of the shares issued to the Sellers, as well as the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants and the registration statement became effective on February 5, 2009.  In addition, through January 24, 2009, we could have been obligated to make a cash payment to the Sellers if common shares had been issued at a price less than $7.20 per share.  Such clause has expired and no such cash payment was made.

In January 2009, we purchased an additional ownership interest in Enertech by issuing 385,936 shares of Ener1 common stock valued at approximately $2,597,000 based on the closing stock price of $6.73 on the effective date of the closing.   As a result, the ownership interest in Enertech increased from 83% to 89%, on a fully diluted basis and has been accounted for as an equity transaction.  See Note 9, Noncontrolling Interest.

Note 6 - Derivative Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Derivative Instruments
We have evaluated the application of US GAAP to (i) certain freestanding warrants that contain exercise price adjustment features known as down round provisions and (ii) convertible bonds with a strike price denominated in a foreign currency and have concluded these instruments are required to be accounted for as derivatives effective January 1, 2009.

We have recorded the fair value of the warrants and convertible bonds that are classified as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet at fair value with changes in the value of these derivatives reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as gain or loss on derivative liabilities.  These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments.

Certain freestanding warrants that contain down round provisions were issued in conjunction with our capital raises during 2004 and 2005.  Previously, these warrants were classified in equity.  After evaluating the application of US GAAP, these warrants were no longer deemed to be indexed to Ener1’s common stock and on January 1, 2009 were reclassified as a derivative liability.  Any time we issue securities that are deemed to be dilutive to the warrants containing down round provisions, the number of shares of Ener1 stock required to be issued upon the exercise of these warrants will increase.

The convertible bonds, originally issued in January 2008, which have a strike price denominated in a foreign currency, were acquired in connection with the Enertech acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2008.  As foreign currency rates fluctuate, the number of shares of Enertech stock to be issued upon conversion could increase.

Lattice Valuation Model
We have valued the freestanding warrants that contain down round provisions using a lattice model, with the assistance of a valuation consultant, for which management understands the methodologies. This model incorporates transaction details such as Ener1’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free interest rates, as well as assumptions about future financings, volatility, and warrant holder behavior on key dates, including warrant exercise dates and period end reporting dates.

The primary assumptions include projected annual volatility of 103% and holder exercise targets at 150% of the exercise price for the warrants expiring in 2010 and 200% of the exercise price for the warrants expiring in 2014, decreasing as the warrants approach maturity.  Based on these assumptions, the fair value of the warrant derivatives as of January 1, 2009 was estimated by management to be $13,196,000.  Amounts previously recorded to paid in capital associated with these warrants of approximately $19,521,000 were reversed and the remaining $6,325,000 was recorded as a cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit.

On January 24, 2009, the down round provision contained in certain warrants expired and these warrants were no longer treated as derivative liabilities.  The fair value of the derivative liability associated with these warrants was marked to market on this date and a gain on derivative liability of approximately $1,587,000 was recorded.  The balance of the derivative liability of $2,679,000 was then recorded as a contribution to paid in capital on the same date.

On June 4, 2009, certain warrants containing down round provisions were exercised.  The fair value of the derivative liability associated with these warrants was marked to market on this date and a loss on derivative liability of approximately $6,000 was recorded.  The balance of the derivative liability associated with these exercised warrants of $67,000 was then recorded as a contribution to paid in capital on the same date.

The fair value of the remaining warrant derivatives as of September 30, 2009 was estimated by management to be $7,995,000.

The foregoing assumptions are reviewed quarterly and are subject to change based primarily on management’s assessment of the probability of the events described occurring.  Accordingly, changes to these assessments could materially affect the valuation.

Black-Scholes Valuation Model
We used a Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of the convertible bonds.  This model uses market sourced inputs such as interest rates, stock price and volatility, the selection of which requires management’s judgment.  The convertible bond is convertible into shares of common stock of our Enertech subsidiary, not shares of Ener1 common stock.  As a result, stock prices were estimated using the average stock price of four comparable Korean companies, which operate in the same industry and are similar in size to Enertech, with a 30% liquidity discount.  Volatility was estimated using the average volatility of the same four comparable Korean companies.  Interest rates represent the Korean government bond rate for securities with a maturity that approximates the estimated expected life of the derivative.

The fair value of the convertible bonds on key dates, including the issuance date and period end reporting dates was estimated using the following assumptions of management:

   
Volatility
   
Interest
Rate
   
Stock
Price
   
Term in
Years
 
                         
January 25, 2008

January 1, 2009
    56.6 %     3.8 %   $ 0.30       4.1

    59.2 %     4.6 %   $ 0.50       3.6  
September 30, 2009
    60.7 %     4.8 %   $ 0.52       3.3  

 
- 20 -

 

We own approximately 96% of the outstanding balance of the convertible bonds and as a result have eliminated 96% of the derivative liability and loss on derivative liability in consolidation and recorded a $38,000 cumulative effect of change in accounting principle to noncontrolling interest.  Based on these assumptions, the remaining derivative liability, as of September 30, 2009 is $46,000 and the loss on derivative liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $26,000.

The foregoing assumptions are reviewed quarterly and are subject to change based primarily on management’s assessment of the probability of the events described occurring.  Accordingly, changes to these assessments could materially affect the valuation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is used which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are described as follows:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Our Level 3 liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities associated with certain freestanding warrants that contain down round provisions and convertible bonds with a strike price denominated in a foreign currency.

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Level 3 Valuation Techniques
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.  Our Level 3 liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities associated with certain freestanding warrants that contain down round provisions and convertible bonds with a strike price denominated in a foreign currency.

The carrying value of short term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, short term borrowings and capital lease obligations approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.  The long term borrowings approximate fair value since the related rates of interest approximate current market rates.

Note 8 – Earnings per Share

Net loss per share basic is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net loss per share diluted is calculated by adjusting outstanding shares, assuming any dilutive effects of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method.  Common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants, stock options, the completion of vesting periods for restricted stock and the conversion of convertible securities.

Basic and diluted loss per share is calculated as follows (in thousands):

The reduction in noncontrolling interest of approximately $1,354,000 represents the decrease in Ener1’s paid in capital for the purchase of 1,625,000 shares of Enertech common stock on January 6, 2009.  Enertech has a share-based compensation plan in which stock options are granted to Enertech’s directors and employees who have contributed to Enertech’s operations.  These stock options are exercisable into shares of common stock of Enertech.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, approximately $19,000 was expensed under this plan.  As of September 30, 2009, there are 894,500 stock options outstanding which represent approximately 3%, on a fully diluted basis, of the outstanding ownership of Enertech.

Note 10 – Related Party Transactions

Convertible Line of Credit
Effective December 29, 2008, we entered into the LOC Agreement with Ener1 Group to establish a line of credit in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000 for a period of 18 months or until we complete a public equity offering, whichever occurs earlier. All amounts borrowed under the LOC Agreement bear interest at 8% per annum.  We are further obligated to issue to Ener1 Group warrants to purchase shares of Ener1 common stock each time an advance is made under the LOC Agreement equal to the amount of the advance divided by $20, with an exercise price equal to $8.25 per share.  All warrants are immediately exercisable and expire two years after issuance.

On August 26, 2009, Ener1 Group entered into a Novation and Assignment agreement with Bzinfin, the owner of a majority of the common stock of Ener1 Group, whereby Ener1 Group assigned to Bzinfin all of its rights and obligations under the LOC Agreement.  Bzinfin owns approximately 3% of the outstanding shares of Ener1 common stock and is a 68.5% shareholder of Ener1 Group.

Simultaneously, Ener1 entered into the A&R LOC Agreement providing Bzinfin, among other rights, the right to convert the first $8,000,000 of principal and related unpaid interest into shares of Ener1 common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share and any remaining principal and related unpaid interest into shares of Ener1 common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.  Based on the closing stock price of Ener1 on August 26, 2009, a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $2,816,000 was recorded as a reduction in proceeds and is amortized to interest expense over the remaining 10 month term of the A&R LOC Agreement, using the effective interest method.

The A&R LOC Agreement is with a different lender than the original LOC Agreement.  As a result, the unamortized debt discount, related to the fair value of 512,500 warrants previously issued, of $681,000 as of August 26, 2009, was charged to additional paid in capital as early extinguishment of debt.

 
- 24 -

 

In August 2009, we classified a $1,500,000 working capital advance from Bzinfin under the A&R LOC Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the agreement issued to Bzinfin warrants to purchase up to 75,000 shares of Ener1 common stock at an exercise price of $8.25 per share.  These warrants are immediately exercisable and expire two years from the date of grant.  Using a Black-Scholes pricing model, the estimated fair value of $227,000 has been recorded as a reduction in proceeds and is amortized to interest expense over the remaining 10 month term of the A&R LOC Agreement.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity
On August 24, 2009, Ener1 entered into a Securities Investment and Subscription Agreement with Think Holdings, AS, a Norwegian limited liability company (“Think Holdings”).  Think Holdings is the majority owner of Think Global AS (“Think Global”), the Norwegian electric car manufacturer and customer of EnerDel.  Ener1 has committed to purchase 10,800,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for approximately $18,000,000.  The investment will be made pursuant to three closings and as of September 30, 2009, Ener1 has purchased 4,340,583 shares for approximately $7,460,000.

On August 26, 2009, Ener1 entered into a Purchase and Assignment Agreement with Bzinfin to acquire approximately $3,000,000 of debt pursuant to a loan facility with Think Global and warrants to purchase 3,600,000 shares of common stock of Think Global, (the “Bridge Loan”).  As consideration, Ener1 issued 896,986 shares of Ener1 common stock, valued at approximately $5,830,000.  Ener1 has exchanged the Bridge Loan for 1,809,419 shares of Think Holdings Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase additional shares of Think Holdings Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  The total number of warrants is based on a predetermined percentage of Think Holdings fully diluted share capital.

As of September 30, 2009, we own approximately 24% of Think Holdings on a fully diluted basis.  In accordance with accounting standards the investment will be accounted for under the cost method as the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is not considered in-substance common stock.

Note 11 – Stock-Based Compensation

At September 30, 2009, we had seven active stock-based compensation plans which provide for the granting of incentive and non-incentive stock options, restricted stock and bonuses to officers, directors, employees and consultants.  The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the plans and has the authority to determine the recipients to whom awards will be made, the terms of the vesting and forfeiture, the amounts of the awards and other terms.  Under the terms of the plans, the option price approved by the Compensation Committee shall not be less than the fair market value of Ener1 common stock at the date of grant.

Restricted Stock
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we granted 40,000 shares of restricted common stock to certain employees pursuant to the terms of our plans.  The shares were valued at $248,000 based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant and 10,000 shares vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and 30,000 shares vest ratably over three years.

Stock Options
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we granted performance based options to employees to purchase up to 817,500 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $4.05 to $6.90 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 was computed as $1,919,000 which will be expensed over the vesting period.

We granted incentive based options to employees to purchase up to 110,000 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $4.05 to $6.12 per share.  These options are scheduled to vest one-third per year over a three year period.  The fair value of these options on the date of grant was computed as $298,000 which will be expensed over the vesting period.

We also issued fully vested options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock to our Chief Executive Officer at an exercise price of $4.05 per share.  We estimated the fair value of such options totaled approximately $652,000 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

In addition, we granted performance based options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock to our Chief Executive Officer at an exercise price of $6.55 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 was computed as approximately $716,000 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Current and former employees have exercised 320,521 options with exercise prices ranging from $1.61 to $4.90 per share.  The total intrinsic value of these options on the dates of exercise was $1,372,000.  Options to purchase up to 49,770 shares of common stock that were issued to various employees and former employees were forfeited because vesting requirements were not met or the options expired in accordance with their terms.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, options to purchase 369,500 shares of common stock were cancelled and were not accompanied by a concurrent grant (or offer to grant) a replacement award.  The previously unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $947,000 was recognized into expense on the cancellation date.

Valuation and Expense Information  
We recorded share-based compensation costs related to stock-based employee plans of $3,450,000 and $2,379,000 for the nine months in the period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  We estimate expected future forfeitures of employee stock options and recognize compensation cost only for the portion of those awards expected to vest.

 
- 26 -

 

Forfeiture rate estimates for each plan are based on historical experience through December 31, 2008 and are adjusted annually to reflect actual forfeiture experience as needed.  Included in the stock-based compensation cost of $3,450,000 is $249,000 in adjustments to reflect our actual forfeiture rate for vested awards.

The fair value of the stock option grants awarded during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following key assumptions:

Expected term
 
4 - 5 yrs
Risk free interest rate

Note 12 - Warrants

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we issued warrants to purchase up to 712,500 shares of Ener1 common stock at an exercise price of $8.25 per share in connection with the LOC Agreement and the A&R LOC Agreement.  The warrants are immediately exercisable and 587,500 warrants expire two years after the date of grant and 125,000 warrants expire three years after the date of grant.  We used a Black-Scholes pricing model to value the warrants and the fair value of $445,000 and $1,258,000 has been recorded as deferred financing costs and a reduction in proceeds, respectively.

The fair value of the warrant grants awarded during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following key assumptions:

Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation
Ener1 may receive communications from time to time alleging various claims. These claims may include, but are not limited to, employment matters, collections of accounts payable, product liability claims, and allegations that certain of our products infringe the patent rights of other third parties.  Ener1 cannot predict when such claims may be made, the outcome of any such claims or the effect of any such claims on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.  As of September 30, 2009, there were no material pending legal proceedings.

Other Commitments
In August 2009, we established the terms and conditions of the 2009 Annual Incentive Program (the “2009 Program”) to provide individuals participating in the 2009 Program the ability to earn an incentive bonus, ranging from 5% to 150% of the individual’s base salary, depending on their position at Ener1 and the achievement of certain targets with respect to Ener1’s financial results.  As of September 30, 2009, we may be committed to pay approximately $600,000 which is recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Business Overview and 2009 Developments

We are primarily in the business of designing, developing and manufacturing high-performance, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and battery systems for energy storage.  End markets include transportation, stationary power (energy storage for utilities and renewable energy such as wind and solar power in addition to battery backup systems for residential use), military applications and small cell markets.  In the transportation markets, we are developing systems to power the next generation of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles (HEVs, PHEVs and EVs).  This technology is also being developed for other transportation markets including buses and trucks as well as alternative transportation vehicles.  We also conduct research and development of fuel cells and nano coating processes. In addition, our Enertech subsidiary specializes in small cell technology and manufactures electrodes for other battery manufacturers, commercial battery packs, prismatic cells and lithium polymer batteries and also manufactures large format cells for automotive applications.

Our goal is to become the leading United States-based developer and manufacturer of advanced, safe, high-performance lithium-ion battery systems for EVs, HEVs, and PHEVs, and for related non-automotive, stationary power and military markets.  Our intention is to supply our products to the transportation and stationary power market segments in North America, Europe and Asia and the military markets in the United States of America.  We initially plan to manufacture and assemble our batteries in our United States-based Indianapolis and Korea-based plants, and to increase EnerDel’s global production capacity of cells as required.  Ultimately, we envision a hub-and-spoke model for manufacturing and distribution, basing cell manufacturing in our Indianapolis and Korean facilities and locating pack assembly closer to our customers to reduce transportation expense.

In January 2009, we purchased an additional ownership interest in Enertech by issuing 385,936 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $2,597,000 based on the closing stock price of $6.73 on the effective date of the closing.  As a result, our interest in Enertech increased from 83% to 89% on a fully diluted basis.  The additional ownership interest has been accounted for as an equity transaction.

On January 7, 2009, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the resale of the shares issued in connection with the Enertech acquisition, as well as the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants and to register securities up to $100 million for future issuance in our capital raising activities.  The registration statement became effective on February 5, 2009.

On May 22, 2009, we entered into the Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies, pursuant to which Ener1 may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of Ener1’s common stock with an aggregate sales price of up to $40,000,000.  Sales of the shares are being executed by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NASDAQ Global Market at market prices, privately negotiated transactions, crosses or block transactions.  Under the terms of the Open Market Sale Agreement, we may also sell shares to Jefferies as a principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale.  Unless we and Jefferies agree to a lesser amount with respect to certain persons or classes of persons, the compensation to Jefferies for sales of common stock sold pursuant to the Open Market Sale Agreement will be 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price per share for the first $13,500,000 of shares sold and 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price per share in excess of $13,500,000.  We began selling shares pursuant to the Open Market Sale Agreement in May 2009 and through September 22, 2009 we sold 5,951,032 shares for an aggregate of $40,000,000, at an average price of $6.72 per share.  After deducting fees and expenses of $1,556,000, we received net proceeds of $38,444,000 from the sale of these shares.

On May 8, 2009, we entered into a letter of intent for a potential long-term battery supply program with Fisker Automotive, Inc. and Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide to manufacture and supply battery packs for the Karma Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicle program.  The program is subject to the execution of a mutually acceptable final agreement and the delivery of pre-production prototype battery packs that meet reliability and performance standards.  

In May 2009, we entered into a contract with the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (“AC Transit”) to manufacture and supply advanced battery systems for their hybrid-electric fuel cell buses.  Our advanced battery system will be an integral part of the zero emissions fuel cell buses capturing energy from regenerative braking and improving fuel economy and efficiency.

In June 2009, we were awarded $3,300,000 cost sharing research and development contracts with the Department of Energy (the “DOE”) and the Department of Defense (the “DOD”).  These contracts will focus on the development of innovative technologies which will eliminate overcharging in lithium-ion cells to improve reliability and overall battery pack efficiency and provide lithium-ion battery packs for future combat systems.

In July 2009, we announced that we supplied our advanced battery systems to Volvo Car Corporation (“Volvo”) to power a pair of plug-in hybrid demonstration cars during the third quarter of 2009 as part of Volvo’s development program leading up to the 2012 commercial launch of its production PHEV model.  On September 17, 2009, Volvo unveiled the C30 Battery Electric Vehicle (“BEV”) prototype in Gothenburg, Sweden featuring our advanced battery system.  The BEV is custom made with an energy content of over 24 kWh, of which 22.7 kWh is used to power the car.

In July 2009, we announced that with the support of our strategic partner ITOCHU Corporation, EnerDel provided engineering support on the delivery of the first two postal service vehicles to Zero Sports, one of the conversion partners, for the electric vehicle conversion program with the Japan Postal Service.

On August 5, 2009, we were awarded a grant for $118,500,000 pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“ARRA”) which is administered by the DOE.  The proceeds from the grant will be used to purchase production equipment to maximize our capacity at our existing facilities and to develop and equip an additional manufacturing facility at a location to be determined.  We will be required to spend one dollar of our own funds for every incentive dollar we receive.

In August 2009, we started a research and development program with Nissan Motor Co. of Japan to co-fund the research of a new electrolyte, a viscous liquid that serves as the essential conductive material between battery electrodes, conducted by Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago.

In August 2009, we entered into a Securities Investment and Subscription Agreement with Think Holdings, AS, a Norwegian limited liability company (“Think Holdings”).  Think Holdings is the majority owner of Think Global AS (“Think Global”), the Norwegian electric car manufacturer and customer of EnerDel.  Ener1 has committed to purchase 10,800,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for approximately $18,000,000.  The investment will be made pursuant to three closings and as of September 30, 2009, Ener1 has purchased 4,340,583 shares for approximately $7,460,000.

On August 26, 2009, Ener1 entered into a Purchase and Assignment Agreement with Bzinfin to acquire approximately $3,000,000 of debt pursuant to a loan facility with Think Global and warrants to purchase 3,600,000 shares of common stock of Think Global, (the “Bridge Loan”).  As consideration, Ener1 issued 896,986 shares of Ener1 common stock, valued at approximately $5,830,000.  Ener1 has exchanged the Bridge Loan for approximately 1,800,000 shares of Think Holdings Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase additional shares of Think Holdings Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  The total number of warrants is based on a predetermined percentage of Think Holdings fully diluted share capital.

In August 2009, EnerDel entered into a Supply Agreement with Think Global to be the exclusive supplier of lithium-ion batteries to Think Global, commencing on the date of the Supply Agreement and ending six months after Think Global commences full scale production.  During the two-year period after the end of the exclusivity period, Think Global will purchase certain minimum volume percentages from EnerDel for the European and North American markets.

On September 10, 2009, we appointed Richard L. Stanley as President of our EnerDel subsidiary.  Mr. Stanley is a proven leader with 30 years global manufacturing and management experience and a distinguished record of creating new business lines.

Ener1 revenue has increased primarily from the sale of prototype EV battery packs to European customers.

Enertech’s sales of $7,655,000 and cost of sales of $7,693,000 resulted in a negative gross profit of $38,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as fixed costs of production, such as depreciation expense, are not reduced ratably with production volume.  Included in cost of sales is depreciation expense of $687,000.

Enertech’s sales have decreased approximately 33% on a pro forma basis, from $11,347,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $7,655,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 resulting in a gross profit decline of approximately $1,109,000 or 104%.  This revenue decline is due to an overall decline in demand for batteries due to poor worldwide economic conditions as well as the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.  The average foreign currency exchange rate of the Korean Won for the three months ended September 30, 2009 declined approximately 25% when compared to the same period in 2008.

Interest expense:  Interest expense represents a combination of both cash and non-cash interest related to our capital lease obligations, deferred financing and debt issuance costs as well as Enertech’s bank borrowings and convertible bonds.  Of the $1,364,000 in Ener1 interest expense, $1,210,000 or 89% represents the amortization of deferred financing and debt issuance costs associated with the fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature associated with our borrowing pursuant to the LOC Agreement and the A&R LOC Agreement.

Loss on derivative liabilities:  Upon the adoption of new accounting principles, we concluded that our warrants containing down round provisions and the convertible bonds issued by our Enertech subsidiary should be treated as derivative liabilities effective January 1, 2009, which resulted in a loss on derivative liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $1,485,000 for Ener1 and a loss on derivative liabilities of $2,000 for Enertech for the same period.

Loss on foreign currency transactions:  Foreign currency transactions are transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency.  Foreign currency transactions may produce receivables or payables that are fixed in terms of the amount of foreign currency that will be received or paid.  A change in exchange rates of the functional currency in which a transaction is denominated increases or decreases the expected cash flow creating a foreign currency transaction gain or loss.

Interest expense:  Interest expense represents a combination of both cash and non-cash interest related to our capital lease obligations, deferred financing costs and debt issuance costs as well as Enertech’s bank borrowings and convertible bonds.  Cash paid for interest expense was $746,000 and $164,000 for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Non-cash interest expense was $3,515,000 and $ 21,318,000 for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Cash interest expense for the period ended September 30, 2009 included $330,000 for Enertech.

Of the $3,515,000 of non-cash interest expense, $3,381,000 or 96% represents the amortization of deferred financing and debt issuance costs associated with the fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature associated with our borrowings pursuant to the LOC and A&R LOC Agreements.  The estimated future straight line amortization of these deferred financing and debt issuances costs is estimated to be $937,000 for the remainder of 2009 and $2,232,000 during 2010.

The overall decrease in interest expense of $ 17,613,000 is primarily due to the change to interest expense in 2008 for the unamortized discount on convertible bonds at the date the bonds were converted to common stock and due to the  reduced principal and interest of convertible note and debenture instruments which were converted into shares of Ener1 common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Gain (loss) on derivative liabilities:  Upon the adoption of new accounting principles, we concluded that our warrants containing down round provisions and the convertible bonds issued by our Enertech subsidiary should be treated as derivative liabilities effective January 1, 2009, which resulted in a gain on derivative liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $2,456,000 for Ener1 and a loss on derivative liabilities of $26,000 for Enertech for the same period.

Loss on foreign currency transactions:  Foreign currency transactions are transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency.  Foreign currency transactions may produce receivables or payables that are fixed in terms of the amount of foreign currency that will be received or paid.  A change in exchange rates of the functional currency in which a transaction is denominated increases or decreases the expected cash flow creating a foreign currency transaction gain or loss.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Cash Flow Summary
At September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17,931,000 and restricted cash of $3,428,000.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we experienced an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $6,702,000 which was provided by our financing activities which includes $38,444,000 in net proceeds from the sale of stock and $16,582,000 in proceeds from borrowings.

The following information is a summary of consolidated cash flows for Ener1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Operating activities
Cash used in operating activities is primarily driven by our net loss, adjusted for non-cash items and changes in working capital.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, cash used in operations was $29,326,000, comprised of a net loss of $36,331,000, offset by non-cash items of $10,719,000 and a net decrease in certain operating assets and liabilities of $3,714,000.  Non-cash items consist primarily of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and interest expense, which are partially offset by the gain on derivative liabilities.  The decrease in certain operating assets and liabilities is primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses partially offset by the increase in inventory and accounts receivable.

Investing activities
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $17,157,000, compared to $8,231,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase is primarily due to the investment in Think Holdings’ Series B Preferred Stock of $7,785,000 during the month of September 2009.  Purchases of property, plant and equipment increased $515,000 as we continue to upgrade and build out our manufacturing facilities in Indiana and Korea.

Financing activities
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $53,365,000, compared to $21,987,000 for the same period ended 2008.  The variance is primarily due to an increase in proceeds from the sale of Ener1 common stock of $38,444,000 and an increase in proceeds from borrowings of $16,582,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  These increases have been partially offset by a decrease in proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants of $29,610,000 during the same period.

In May 2009, we entered into the Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies pursuant to which we were able to offer and sell through Jefferies, as our sales agent, from time to time, shares of our common stock with an aggregate sales price of up to $40,000,000.  We began selling shares on May 26, 2009 and through September 22, 2009 we raised net proceeds totaling $38,444,000 from our participation in the Open Market Sale Agreement.

Liquidity

We continue to manage our business to develop our products and establish our manufacturing capacity at a level to attract customers while reserving the expansion of our capacity and workforce until such time as we receive firm customer orders.  In addition to our available cash on hand, sources of liquidity include committed credit lines for equipment purchases and operating expenses as well as access to the public debt and equity markets.  We continue to balance our cash and financing uses through investment in our planned operations, equipment purchases, acquisition activity and redemption of certain securities.

We anticipate that United States government programs will fund a significant increase in investment in the domestic battery business and related supplier markets, and we will benefit from these programs due to our presence as a United States-based manufacturer.  If we receive funds pursuant to these government programs, these funds will be designated to increase our battery manufacturing capacity.

In December 2008, we applied for a $480 million loan under the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Incentive Program (“ATVM”) to increase our battery manufacturing capacity in Indiana.  Under the ATVM, companies are required to contribute 20% of the loan amount to the program award.  We are currently providing additional information to the DOE pursuant to the application process.  The ATVM was created under Section 136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.

We expect to receive $6,814,000 from our active cost-sharing arrangements with the DOD, DOE and the United States Advanced Battery Consortium (“USABC”) through September 2012, which will reduce our future research and development expense.

Our ability to access the public debt and equity markets and the related cost of these activities may be affected by market conditions and our credit rating. In recent months, the market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations.  To date, we have not experienced any limitations in our ability to access these sources of liquidity, although the recent upheaval experienced by the debt and equity markets may adversely affect our ability to procure future financing.

We continually monitor the financial institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents.   The emphasis is primarily on safety of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds.

We believe we have sufficient capital to continue our planned operations for 12 months from our balance sheet date of September 30, 2009.  We plan to utilize the proceeds from our Open Market Sale Agreement and our line of credit to fund operations and the purchase of certain production equipment and manufacturing plant assets.  We continue to integrate Enertech’s operations into our existing business and it may take time before we realize the synergies and potential cost savings from this acquisition.  Enertech has adequate operational funding and also has access to facilities with several banks for short term working capital and equipment purchases.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any significant relationships with entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and judgments that may affect assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, derivatives, inventory, impairments of long-lived assets including intangible assets, impairments of goodwill, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of long-lived assets, research and development, contingencies and litigation, and share-based payments.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Refer to Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

This item 3 is not applicable to us as, pursuant to Item 305(c) of Regulation S-K, the information is not required until after the first fiscal year end in which Item 305 is applicable.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have carried out an evaluation, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”), under the supervision and the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2009.  Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls were not effective due to the identification of incorrect accounting treatment in 2007 and 2008 of the unamortized discount on the 2004 and 2005 Debentures when these Debentures were converted to common stock. Also, the Company did not correctly calculate the amortization expense on its deferred financing costs and the debt discounts on its 2004 and 2005 Debentures and Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the  quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We may receive communications from time to time alleging various claims. These claims may include, but are not limited to, employment matters, collection of accounts payable, product liability claims, and allegations that certain of our products infringe the patent rights of other third parties. We cannot predict when such claims may be made, the outcome of any such claims or the effect of any such claims on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. As of September 30, 2009, there are no material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

Refer to Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for a discussion of our risk factors.  In addition, see the following risk factors which have substantially changed since December 31, 2008.

We face several risks relating to internal control over financial reporting.
As permitted by SEC rules, we and our former independent registered public accountants excluded Enertech from our management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and their audit of our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our consolidated financial results include the operations of Enertech from November 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.  Enertech’s revenue represented 83% of our consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 50% of our consolidated assets at December 31, 2008.  As a result, it is possible that, as we continue to integrate Enertech into our business, we will identify internal control issues relating to Enertech’s financial reporting.  We have performed a risk assessment to establish the 2009 scope, we have begun the testing required to comply with Sarbanes Oxley, and we expect to complete our procedures in time to report results for the year end December 31, 2009.  There was no material change to our internal control over financial reporting due to the acquisition.

In addition, we have experienced rapid growth in our head count and operations, which has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our management, operational and financial infrastructures.  If management is not successful in maintaining a strong internal control environment, including with respect to Enertech, and material weaknesses occur, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information.  This loss of confidence could lead to a decline in our stock price, limit our ability to access the capital markets in the future, and require us to incur additional costs to improve our internal control systems and procedures.

We may not be able to obtain government financing.
We are currently pursuing existing opportunities and we anticipate there will be new opportunities for loans and other investments from the United States government for companies involved in emerging battery technologies.  We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining these loans and other investments. Even if we do obtain such financing, we may be unable to successfully execute on our business plan, especially with respect to revenue and profitability and the effect these metrics would have on our stock price, or otherwise meet our current operating plans and assumptions, in which case our actual results could differ materially from current expectations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
On January 7, 2009, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the resale of the shares issued in connection with the Enertech acquisition, as well as the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants and to register securities up to $100 million for future issuance in our capital raising activities.  The registration statement became effective on February 5, 2009.  The Commission file number assigned to the registration statement is 333-156609.

On May 22, 2009, we entered into the Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies, pursuant to which Ener1 may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of Ener1’s common stock with an aggregate sales price of up to $40,000,000.  Sales of the shares are being executed by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NASDAQ Global Market at market prices, privately negotiated transactions, crosses or block transactions.  Under the terms of the Open Market Sale Agreement, we may also sell shares to Jefferies as a principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale.  Unless we and Jefferies agree to a lesser amount with respect to certain persons or classes or persons, the compensation to Jefferies for sales of common stock sold pursuant to the Open Market Sale Agreement will be 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price per share for the first $13,500,000 of shares sold and 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price per share in excess of $13,500,000.

We began selling shares pursuant to the Open Market Sale Agreement in May 2009 and through September 22, 2009 we sold 5,951,032 shares for an aggregate sales price of $40,000,000.  After deducting commissions, payable to Jefferies, of $1,471,000 and expenses of $85,000, payable to unaffiliated third parties, we received net proceeds of $38,444,000 from the sale of these shares.

Item 5. Other Information.
Pursuant to Ener1’s Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Stock Plan”), cash incentive bonuses may be awarded to executives, managers and key employees of Ener1.  On August 5, 2009, with the approval of the Board of Directors, we established the terms and conditions of the 2009 Program, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Individuals participating in the 2009 Program can earn a cash incentive bonus, ranging from 5% to 150% of the individual’s base salary, depending on: (i) the individual’s position at Ener1 and (ii) the achievement of certain targets with respect to Ener1’s financial results.  Our Chief Executive Officer can earn from 50% to 150% of his base salary and our two most highly compensated executive officers can earn cash bonuses from 12.5% to 37.5% of their base salary.
