CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of the Company and its Business

Enova Systems, Inc., (“Enova”, “We” or “the Company”), a California corporation, was incorporated in July 1976, and trades on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “ENVS” and on the London Stock Exchange under the symbol “ENV” or “ENVS”.  The Company believes it has been a globally recognized leader as a supplier of efficient, environmentally-friendly digital power components and systems products, in conjunction with associated engineering services. The Company’s core competencies are focused on the commercialization of power management and conversion systems for mobile and stationary applications.

THE DISCUSSION SET FORTH BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS 10-Q IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE FOLLOWING: ENOVA REMAINS INSOLVENT AND OWES IN EXCESS OF $4.5 MILLION IN THE AGGREGATE TO ITS TWO PRINCIPAL CREDITORS, THE CREDIT MANAGERS ASSOCIATION AND ARENS CONTROLS COMPANY, L.L.C. (“ARENS"). WITHOUT IMMEDIATE ADDITIONAL FINANCING OR COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES, THE COMPANY WILL NEED TO CEASE OPERATIONS. THE COMPANY CURRENTLY HAS NO VISIBILITY AS TO EITHER ADDITIONAL FINANCING OR THE COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. SPECIFICALLY, WITHOUT A MUTUALLY ACCEPTABLE SETTLEMENT OF THE ARENS JUDGMENT ARISING OUT OF ARENS CONTROLS COMPANY, L.L.C. v. ENOVA SYSTEMS, INC., CASE NO. 13-1102 (7TH CIRCUIT) IN THE AMOUNT OF $2.0 MILLION, THE COMPANY DOES NOT CURRENTLY BELIEVE IT HAS ANY ALTERNATIVE OTHER THAN TO CEASE OPERATIONS. THE COMPANY CURRENTLY EMPLOYS ONLY TWO PERSONNEL, JOHN MICEK, THE COMPANY'S CEO, CFO AND SECRETARY, AND ONE ADDITIONAL INDIVIDUAL IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2013, THE COMPANY ENTERED INTO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH ARENS PROVIDING A PERIOD OF 120 DAYS TO SETTLE THE JUDGMENT FOR THE AMOUNT OF $300,000.  THE COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE VISIBILITY FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO MAKE PAYMENT UNDER THE AGREEMENT.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation — Interim Financial Statements

The financial information as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair statement of its financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, and certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules or regulations; however, the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

 THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING MANAGEMENTS  DISCUSSION FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2013  HAVE NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE COMPANY's REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. OUR REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN THE FILING OF THE SEPTEMBER 30,2013 FORM 10Q.

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, historically the Company has experienced significant recurring net losses and operating cash flow deficits. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, including among others, its ability to raise additional funding, and its ability to successfully restructure operations to lower manufacturing costs and reduce operating expenses.

  To date, the Company has incurred recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations. At September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $160.4 million, cash and cash equivalents of negative $2,000, working capital of approximately negative $1,218,000 and shareholders’ deficit of approximately $3.7 million. Until the Company can generate significant cash from its operations, the Company expects to continue to fund its operations with existing cash resources, proceeds from one or more private placement agreements, as well as potentially through debt financing or the sale of equity securities. However, the Company may not be successful in obtaining additional funding. In addition, the Company cannot be sure that its existing cash and investment resources will be adequate or that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or its stockholders.

Our operations will require us to make necessary investments in human and production resources, regulatory compliance, as well as sales and marketing efforts. We do not currently have adequate internal liquidity to meet these objectives in the long term. On June 21, 2012, we reported in a Form 8-K filing that, as part of cost cutting measures in response to our decrease in revenue amid continued delays in industry adoption of EV technology resulting from ongoing battery cost and reliability concerns, in excess of 80% of our workforce left our Company, including the resignation of members of our senior management. We continue to evaluate strategic partnering opportunities and other external sources of liquidity, including the public and private financial markets and strategic partners. As a result of having insufficient funds, the Company has delayed all of its product development.  Failure to obtain adequate financing also will adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue in business. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders would likely result. If the Company raises additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations, as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict its ability to operate its business.

The Company continues to pursue other options to raise additional capital to fund its operations; however, there can be no assurance that we can successfully raise additional funds through the capital markets.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately negative $2,000 in cash and cash equivalents and does not anticipate that its anticipated receivables collections will be sufficient to meet its projected operating requirements through December 2013 to continue operations and market trading.  

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to US GAAP. There have been no significant changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to what was previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Revenue Recognition

The Company manufactures proprietary products and other products based on design specifications provided by its customers. The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:

• Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement — The Company documents all terms of an arrangement in a written contract signed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue.

• Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Rendered — The Company performs all services or delivers all products prior to recognizing revenue. Professional consulting and engineering services are considered to be performed when the services are complete. Equipment is considered delivered upon delivery to a customer’s designated location. In certain instances, the customer elects to take title upon shipment.

-5-

• The Fee for the Arrangement is Fixed or Determinable — Prior to recognizing revenue, a customer’s fee is either fixed or determinable under the terms of the written contract. Fees for professional consulting services, engineering services and equipment sales are fixed under the terms of the written contract. The customer’s fee is negotiated at the outset of the arrangement and is not subject to refund or adjustment during the initial term of the arrangement.

• Collectability is Reasonably Assured — The Company determines that collectability is reasonably assured prior to recognizing revenue. Collectability is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. New customers are subject to a credit review process which evaluates the customer’s financial position and ultimately its ability to pay. The Company does not enter into arrangements unless collectability is reasonably assured at the outset. Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined during the arrangement that collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized on a cash basis. Amounts received upfront for engineering or development fees under multiple-element arrangements are deferred and recognized over the period of committed services or performance, if such arrangements require the Company to provide on-going services or performance. All amounts received under collaborative research agreements or research and development contracts are nonrefundable, regardless of the success of the underlying research.

The Company recognizes revenue from milestone payments over the remaining minimum period of performance obligations.

The Company also recognizes engineering and construction contract revenues using the percentage-of-completion method, based primarily on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. Customer-furnished materials, labor, and equipment, and in certain cases subcontractor materials, labor, and equipment, are included in revenues and cost of revenues when management believes that the company is responsible for the ultimate acceptability of the project. Contracts are segmented between types of services, such as engineering and construction, and accordingly, revenue and gross margin related to each activity is recognized as those separate services are rendered.

Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Claims against customers are recognized as revenue upon settlement. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts received are classified as current assets. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenues recognized to date are classified as current liabilities on contracts.

Changes in project performance and conditions, estimated profitability, and final contract settlements may result in future revisions to engineering and development contract costs and revenue.

These accounting policies were applied consistently for all periods presented. Our operating results would be affected if other alternatives were used. Information about the impact on our operating results is included in the footnotes to our financial statements.

Several other factors related to the Company may have a significant impact on our operating results from year to year. For example, the accounting rules governing the timing of revenue recognition related to product contracts are complex and it can be difficult to estimate when we will recognize revenue generated by a given transaction. Factors such as acceptance of services provided, payment terms, creditworthiness of the customer, and timing of delivery or acceptance of our products often cause revenues related to sales generated in one period to be deferred and recognized in later periods. For arrangements in which services revenue is deferred, related direct and incremental costs may also be deferred.

Deferred Revenues

The Company recognizes revenues as earned. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which service is rendered are recorded as a liability under deferred revenues. When the Company enters into production and development contracts with customers, an evaluation is made to ascertain the specific revenue generating activities of each contract and establishes the units of accounting for each activity. Revenue on these units of accounting is not recognized until a) there is persuasive evidence of the existence of a contract, b) the service has been rendered and delivery has occurred, c) there is a fixed and determinable price, and d) collectability is reasonable assured.

-6-

Warranty Costs

The Company provides product warranties for specific product lines and accrues for estimated future warranty costs in the period in which revenue is recognized. Our products are generally warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 to 24 months from the date of installation, subject to standard limitations for equipment that has been altered by other than Enova Systems personnel and equipment which has been subject to negligent use. Warranty provisions are based on past experience of product returns, number of units repaired and our historical warranty incidence over the past twenty-four month period. The warranty liability is evaluated on an ongoing basis for adequacy and may be adjusted as additional information regarding expected warranty costs becomes known.

Stock Based Compensation

We measure the compensation cost for stock-based awards classified as equity at their fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures.

Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Certain accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Interest expense on notes payable amounted to $64,000 and $65,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Interest expense on notes payable amounted to $21,000 and $24,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 20112, respectively.  In June 2013, the vehicle that secured the note payable due March 10, 2016 was repossessed by the secured lender. The Company was invoiced by the lender for $8,000 for final settlement.

7.           Deferred Revenues

The Company had deferred $213,000 and $118,000 in revenue related to production and development contracts at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company anticipates that the September 30, 2013 deferred revenue balance will be recognized by the first quarter of 2014.

8. Stockholders’ Equity

On April 23, 2012, the Company entered into a $6,600,000 purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to $6,600,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock, and on April 24, 2012, the Company entered into another purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to $3,400,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations. We received proceeds of $132,000, net of financing costs of $152,000, under the $3,400,000 Purchase Agreement and issued a total of 1,754,974 shares of common stock in the second quarter of 2012. As consideration for its commitment to purchase common stock under the $3,400,000 Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Lincoln Park 281,030 shares of common stock.  Access to funding under the facility is dependent upon our shares being listed on a national exchange, and as our shares were delisted from the NYSE Amex exchange on October 31, 2012, the Company can no longer raise funds from the facility.

9. Stock Options

Stock Option Program Description

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had two equity compensation plans, the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and the 2006 equity compensation plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 1996 Plan has expired for the purposes of issuing new grants. However, the 1996 Plan will continue to govern awards previously granted under that plan. The 2006 Plan has been approved by the Company’s shareholders. Equity compensation grants are designed to reward employees and executives for their long term contributions to the Company and to provide incentives for them to remain with the Company. The number and frequency of equity compensation grants are based on competitive practices, operating results of the company, and government regulations.

 The maximum number of shares issuable over the term of the 1996 Plan was limited to 65 million shares (without giving effect to subsequent stock splits). Options granted under the 1996 Plan typically have an exercise price of 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date and expire no later than ten years from the grant date. On August 27, 2013, the Board of Directors of Enova Systems approved amendments to Enova's 2006 Equity Compensation Plan (a) to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance from 3,000,000 shares to 9,000,000 shares and (b) to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued to an individual in any calendar year from 500,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares. Of the 9,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under the amended 2006 Plan, of which 4,400,000 and 270,000 were granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 3,711,000 shares were available for grant as of September 30, 2013. Options granted under the 2006 Plan have terms of between three and ten years and generally vest and become fully exercisable from one to three years from the date of grant or vest according to the price performance of our shares.

 Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $6,000 and $166,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized is $48,000. The remaining period over which the future compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 32 months.

 The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2013:

	Number of Share Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years		Aggregate Intrinsic Value(1)
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		810,000	$	0.64		4.06	$	—
Granted		4,400,000	$	0.02		2.91	$	—
Exercised		—	$	—		—	$	—
Forfeited or Cancelled		—	$	—		—	$	—
Outstanding at September 30, 2013		5,210,000	$	0.12		2.97	$	—
Exercisable at September 30, 2013		650,000	$	0.78		3.54	$	—
Vested and expected to vest (2)		5,210,000	$	0.12		2.97	$	—

(1)	Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value of the closing price per share of our common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal period in excess of the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding or exercisable, except for the “Exercised” line, which uses the closing price on the date exercised.
(2)	Number of shares includes options vested and those expected to vest net of estimated forfeitures.

     The exercise prices of the options outstanding at September 30, 2013 ranged from $0.07 to $4.35. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.02 and $0.05, respectively. The Company’s policy is to issue shares from its authorized shares upon the exercise of stock options.

Unvested share activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is summarized below:

	Unvested Number of Options			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at December 31, 2012		236,000		$	0.04
Granted		4,400,000		$	0.02
Vested		(76,000	)	$	0.11
Forfeited		—		$	—
Unvested balance at September 30, 2013		4,560,000		$	0.02

The fair values of all stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions:

	For the nine months ended
	September 30, 2013			September 30, 2012
Expected life (in years)		2			6.5
Average risk-free interest rate		1.66	%		1.66	%
Expected volatility		111	%		108	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Forfeiture rate		3	%		3	%

The estimated fair value of grants of stock options to nonemployees of the Company is charged to expense in the financial statements. These options vest in the same manner as the employee options granted under each of the option plans as described above.

10.         Warrants

 In December 2011, the Company completed a private equity placement of 11,250,000 shares of common stock for $1,245,000 together with warrants to purchase up to 11,250,000 shares of common stock to a group of 17 shareholders (the “Low-Beer Managed Accounts”). The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years and exercisable at a price of $0.22 per share. The warrants further provide that if, for a twenty consecutive trading day period, the average of the closing price quoted on the OTCQB market is greater than or equal to $0.44 per share, with at least an average of 10,000 shares traded per day, then, on the 10th calendar day following written notice from the Company, any outstanding warrants will be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to the cashless/net exercise provisions under the warrants.

 The following is a summary of changes to outstanding warrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

	Number of Share Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		11,250,000	$	0.22		4.00
Granted		—	$	—		—
Exercised		—	$	—		—
Forfeited or Cancelled		—	$	—		—
Outstanding at September 30, 2013		11,250,000	$	0.22		3.25
Exercisable at September 30, 2013		—	$	—		—.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Overview

Enova believes it has been a leader in the development, design and production of proprietary, power train systems and related components for electric and hybrid electric buses and medium and heavy duty commercial vehicles. Electric drive systems are comprised of an electric motor, electronics control unit and a gear unit which power a vehicle. Hybrid electric systems, which are similar to pure electric drive systems, contain an internal combustion engine in addition to the electric motor, and may eliminate external recharging of the battery system. A hydrogen fuel cell based system is similar to a hybrid system, except that instead of an internal combustion engine, a fuel cell is utilized as the power source. A fuel cell is a system which combines hydrogen and oxygen in a chemical process to produce electricity.

A fundamental element of Enova’s strategy has been to develop and produce advanced proprietary software and hardware for applications in these alternative power markets. Our focus has been on powertrain systems including digital power conversion, power management and system integration, focusing chiefly on vehicle power generation.  Specifically, we have developed, designed and produce drive systems and related components for electric, hybrid electric and fuel cell powered vehicles in both the new and retrofit markets. We also perform internal research and development (“R&D”) and funded third party R&D to augment our product development and support our customers.

Our product development strategy is to design and introduce to market successively advanced products, each based on our core technical competencies. In each of our product/market segments, we provide products and services to leverage our core competencies in digital power management, power conversion and system integration. We believe that the underlying technical requirements shared among the market segments will allow us to more quickly transition from one emerging market to the next, with the goal of capturing early market share.

-12-

Enova’s primary market focus has been centered on aligning ourselves with key customers and integrating with original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in our target markets. We believe that alliances will result in the latest technology being implemented and customer requirements being met, with an optimized level of additional time and expense. Provided we generate necessary resources, we will continue to work refining both our market strategy and our product line to maintain our edge in power management and conversion systems for vehicle applications.

Our website, www.enovasystems.com, contains up-to-date information on our company, our products, programs and current events. Our website is a prime focal point for current and prospective customers, investors and other affiliated parties seeking additional information on our business.

Enova has incurred significant operating losses in the past. As of September 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $160.4 million, working capital of approximately negative $1,218,000 and shareholders’ deficit of approximately $3.7 million. As reported in our Form 8-K filing on June 21, 2012, due to continued delays in industry adoption of EV technology, the Company's revenues continue to significantly decrease. As part of cost cutting measures, we implemented a reduction in our workforce whereby in excess of 80% of our employees left the Company. We continue to evaluate strategic opportunities to leverage resources and assist with operations. We expect to incur additional operating losses until we re-position the company in order to achieve a level of product sales sufficient to cover our operating and other expenses. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately negative $2,000 in cash and cash equivalents and we do not anticipate that our anticipated receivables collections will be sufficient to meet projected operating requirements through the end of 2013 to continue operations and market trading.        

Customer Highlights

FIRST AUTO WORKS (FAW) - Enova continues to supply FAW drive systems for their hybrid buses. Since the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Enova Systems and First Auto Works have deployed over 500 vehicles utilizing Enova’s pre-transmission hybrid drive system components. First Auto Works is one of China’s largest vehicle producers, manufacturing in excess of 1,000,000 vehicles annually. 

SMITH ELECTRIC VEHICLES (SEV) – Enova continues to be SEV’s supplier of drive systems. SEV is a leader in the all EV market in North America and Europe.

Technology Highlights

OMNI INVERTER. Power-source and motor design agnostic, Enova’s new Omni-series inverter/vehicle controller offers increased flexibility and ease-of-integration. With plug-and-play connectivity, it is compatible with a wide range of vehicle drive systems and motors, and can be configured for HEV, PHEV and EV applications. The inverter is fully production validated.

OMNI CHARGER. Our Omni-series 10kW on-board battery charger for plug-in hybrid-electric and all-electric vehicles is a CAN control based unit that offers increased flexibility, ease-of-integration and compatibility with a wide range of vehicle platforms.

Enova has delayed further introduction of the Omni Inverter and Charger with customers due to the reduction in our workforce and current financial resource constraints.  Provided additional resources are obtained, we anticipate continuing development and marketing of these two products, which we believe can gain broad market acceptance.

Critical Accounting Policies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company constantly re-evaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate. Estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, customer receivables, inventories, equity investments, fixed asset lives, contingencies and litigation. There have been no material changes in estimates or assumptions compared to our most recent Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

-13-

The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe: (a) are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and (b) involve inherently uncertain issues which require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.

Cash and cash equivalents — Cash consists of currency held at reputable financial institutions.

Inventory — Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market utilizing first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost flow assumption. We maintain a perpetual inventory system and continuously record the quantity on-hand and standard cost for each product, including purchased components, subassemblies and finished goods. We maintain the integrity of perpetual inventory records through periodic physical counts of quantities on hand. Finished goods are reported as inventories until the point of transfer to the customer. Generally, title transfer is documented in the terms of sale.

Inventory reserve — We maintain an allowance against inventory for the potential future obsolescence or excess inventory. A substantial decrease in expected demand for our products, or decreases in our selling prices could lead to excess or overvalued inventories and could require us to substantially increase our allowance for excess inventory. If future customer demand or market conditions are less favorable than our projections, additional inventory write-downs may be required, and would be reflected in cost of revenues in the period the revision is made.

Allowance for doubtful accounts — We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The assessment of the ultimate realization of accounts receivable including the current credit-worthiness of each customer is subject to a considerable degree to the judgment of our management. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Stock-based Compensation — The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options based on the estimated fair values at the date of grant. The compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period.

Revenue recognition — Effective January 1, 2011, we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, or ASU 2009-13, which is included within the Codification as Revenue Recognition-Multiple Element Arrangements, on a prospective basis. Under the provisions of ASU 2009-13, we no longer rely on objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the elements in a revenue arrangement in order to separate a deliverable into a separate unit of accounting, and the use of the residual method has been eliminated. We instead use a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is used to determine the allocation of consideration to each unit of accounting under an arrangement. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. As of September 30, 2012, we had not applied the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to any of our revenue arrangements as we had not entered into any new, or materially modified any of our existing, revenue arrangements since our adoption of ASU 2009-13. Therefore, there was no material impact on our financial position or results of operations from adopting ASU 2009-13. However, the provisions of ASU 2009-13 could have a material impact on the revenue recognized from any collaboration agreements that we enter into in future periods.

We generally recognize revenue at the time of shipment when title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, performance of our obligation is complete, our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and we are reasonably assured of collection. If a loss is anticipated on any contract, a provision for the entire loss is made immediately. Determination of these criteria, in some cases, requires management’s judgment. Should changes in conditions cause management to determine that these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue for any reporting period could be adversely affected.

-14-

The Company also recognizes engineering and construction contract revenues using the percentage-of-completion method, based primarily on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. Customer-furnished materials, labor, and equipment, and in certain cases subcontractor materials, labor, and equipment, are included in revenues and cost of revenues when management believes that the company is responsible for the ultimate acceptability of the project. Contracts are segmented between types of services, such as engineering and construction, and accordingly, gross margin related to each activity is recognized as those separate services are rendered.

These accounting policies were applied consistently for all periods presented. Our operating results would be affected if other alternatives were used. Information about the impact on our operating results is included in the footnotes to our financial statements.

Several other factors related to the Company may have a significant impact on our operating results from year to year. For example, the accounting rules governing the timing of revenue recognition related to product contracts are complex and it can be difficult to estimate when we will recognize revenue generated by a given transaction. Factors such as acceptance of services provided, payment terms, creditworthiness of the customer, and timing of delivery or acceptance of our products often cause revenues related to sales generated in one period to be deferred and recognized in later periods. For arrangements in which services revenue is deferred, related direct and incremental costs may also be deferred.

The sum of the amounts and percentages may not equal the totals for the period due to the effects of rounding.

Computations of percentage change period over period are based upon our results, as rounded and presented herein.

Revenues. Revenues in the current year were negatively affected by capacity constraints to pursue new business due to our restructuring in June 2012.  We believe the industry is affected by continued uncertainty over battery performance and non-recoverable engineering costs associated with battery development.  As a result, OEM and other customers have delayed major all-electric vehicle marketing initiatives, resulting in decreased demand for our systems.  The decrease in revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 was mainly due to a decrease in deliveries to our core customer base in Asia.  Revenues in the first three and nine months of 2013 were mainly attributed to continued shipments to First Auto Works in China and the Smith Electric Vehicles in the U.S.  We will have fluctuations in revenue from quarter to quarter.  Although we have seen some indications from customers to support future revenue, there can be no assurance there will be continuing demand for our products and services.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists of component and material costs, direct labor costs, integration costs and overhead related to manufacturing our products as well as inventory valuation reserve amounts. Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased primarily due to an increase in warranty expense.  Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased primarily due to the decrease in revenue compared to the same period in the prior year and, in addition, we recorded a charge of approximately $945,000 during the first nine months of 2012 to increase our inventory obsolescence reserve after management updated its estimate of the realizable value of inventory.

Gross Loss. The decrease in gross loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily attributable to the recording of an increase in the inventory obsolescence reserve in the first nine months of 2012.  

Research and Development (“R&D”). R&D costs decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year as our engineering staff was reduced in June 2012 due to the Company’s lack of financial resources.  As a result, the Company’s development of its next generation Omni-series motor control unit and 10kW charger was put on hold at the end of the second quarter of 2012.  

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (“S, G & A”). S, G & A is comprised of activities in the executive, finance, marketing, field service and quality departments’ compensation as well as related payroll benefits, and non-cash charges for depreciation and options expense. The decrease in S, G & A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year is attributable to the resignation of approximately 80% of the Company’s workforce from June 2012 and other cost savings measures.  We continually monitor S, G & A in light of our business outlook and are taking steps to control these costs.

Interest and Other Income (Expense). The interest and other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the timing of recording fixed asset impairment charges.

Net Loss. The decrease in the net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year was mainly due to the reduction in our workforce in the second quarter of 2012 which resulted in lower operating costs and a decrease in the inventory obsolescence reserve compared to 2012. 

Comparability of Quarterly Results. Our quarterly results have fluctuated in the past and we believe they will continue to do so in the future. Certain factors that could affect our quarterly operating results are described in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors contained in our Form 10-K for 2012, as updated by the disclosure contained in Item 1A of Part II of this Form 10-Q.  Due to these and other factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations are not meaningful indicators of future performance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have experienced losses primarily attributable to research, development, marketing and other costs associated with our strategic plan as an international developer and supplier of electric drive and power management systems and components. Historically cash flows from operations have not been sufficient to meet our obligations and we have had to raise funds through several financing transactions. At least until we reach breakeven volume in sales and develop and/or acquire the capability to manufacture and sell our products profitably, we will need to continue to rely on cash from external financing sources. Our operations during the three months ended September 30, 2013 were financed from working capital reserves.

On June 30, 2010, the Company entered into a secured a revolving credit facility with a financial institution for $200,000 which was secured by a $200,000 certificate of deposit. The interest rate on a drawdown from the facility is the certificate of deposit rate plus 1.25% with interest payable monthly and the principal due at maturity. The financial institution also renewed the $200,000 irrevocable letter of credit for the full amount of the credit facility in favor of Sunshine Distribution LP, with respect to the lease of the Company’s corporate headquarters at 1560 West 190th Street, Torrance, California. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the irrevocable letter of credit was fully drawn down by Sunshine Distribution L.P. in order to pay rent on our corporate headquarters, and the certificate of deposit was fully utilized to fund draws on the secured facility.  Therefore, the facility was fully drawn and expired on December 31, 2012.

Net cash used in operating activities was $57,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $3,030,000 compared to $3,087,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Operating cash used in the first nine months of 2013 decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due to over 80% of our workforce leaving the Company in June 2012 that decreased our ongoing operational costs in the current year.  Non-cash items include expense for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and other losses. These non-cash items decreased by $1,320,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily a decrease in the inventory reserve charges and in the current year period and lower depreciation expense in 2013 due to the end of the lease at our former headquarters in January 2013.  The decrease in net loss was primarily due to a decrease in administrative and R&D expenses related to over 80% of our workforce leaving the Company in June 2012 and our restricting other administrative expenditures to conserve cash resources.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company had negative $2,000 of cash and cash equivalents compared to $57,000 as of December 31, 2012.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $29,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to net cash used of $16,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The Company recorded net proceeds of $29,000 from the sale of vehicles in 2013 and, subsequent to the reduction in our work force in the second quarter of 2012, halted further capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $31,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $1469,000 compared to net cash from financing activities of $115,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The decrease was primarily attributable to proceeds of $132,000 from the issuance of Common Stock during second quarter of 2012 from the Lincoln Park facility, as explained in Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity to the financial statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Net accounts receivable decreased by $72,000, or 35%, to $136,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to a balance of $208,000 at December 31, 2012. The decrease in the receivable balance was primarily due to collections of receivables due.  As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company maintained a reserve for doubtful accounts receivable of $268,000 and 313,000, respectively, primarily related to financial instability at a major customer. 

Net inventory and supplies decreased by $315,000, or 14%, to $1,888,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to a balance of $2,203,000 at December 31, 2012.  The decrease resulted from net inventory activity including receipts totaling $305,000, consumption of $277,000 and an inventory reserve charge of $267,000.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by $155,000, or 64%, to $95,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to a balance of $242,000 at December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in deposits to vendors in support of a customer purchase orders and decreases in prepaid rent and insurance in the first half of 2013.

-17-

Long term accounts receivable decreased by $21,000, or 55%, to $17,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to a balance of $38,000 at December 31, 2012. The decrease is primarily due to reclassification of amounts that will be due within one year to current accounts receivable.  The Company agreed to defer collection of certain accounts receivable as requested by a customer for the term of the Company’s warranty guarantee. Due to its financial condition, the Company is not servicing warranty claims with the customer, which could delay collection of the receivable.  Therefore, management has determined to reserve the short-tem portion recorded in accounts receivables.

 Property and equipment, net of depreciation, decreased by $212,000, or 69%, to $95,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to a balance of $307,000 at December 31, 2012.  The decrease is primarily due to depreciation expense of $114,000 and a loss on disposed and impaired assets of $69,000.

Accounts payable increased by $85,000, or 15%, to $643,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to a balance of $558,000 at December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to inventory purchases made in the second quarter of 2013 in support of a customer order and payment deferrals due to the financial condition of the Company.

Loans from employees increased by $19,000, or 100%, to $19,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to a balance of $0 at December 31, 2012.  Due the financial condition of the company, employees loaned funds to the Company to pay for certain necessary administrative costs.

Deferred revenues increased by $95,000, or 81%, to $213,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to a balance of $118,000 at December 31, 2012.  The Company received prepayments on purchase orders from certain customers, which are expected to be recognized as revenue by the first quarter of 2014.

Accrued payroll and related expenses increased by $64,000, or 65%, to $162,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to a balance of $98,000 at December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in unpaid compensation in the second and third quarters of 2013 resulting from the financial condition of the Company.

Accrued loss for litigation settlement was unchanged at September 30, 2013 compared to the balance at December 31, 2012.  As disclosed in Item 1. Legal Proceedings, on December 12, 2012, a judgment was entered in favor of Arens Controls Company, L.L.C. by the United States District Court Northern District of Illinois in the amount of $2,014,169 in the case of Arens Controls Company, L.L.C. v. Enova Systems, Inc.  See Item 1 of Part II of this report on Form 10-Q.

Other accrued liabilities decreased by $35,000, or 14%, to $220,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to a balance of $255,000 at December 31, 2012.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the accrual for professional services incurred in the first nine months of 2013.

Accrued interest payable increased by $62,000, or 5%, to $1,380,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to a balance of $1,318,000 at December 31, 2012. The increase was due to interest related to our debt instruments, primarily the interest on the secured note payable in the amount of $1,344,000 to the Credit Managers Association of California.

Going concern

To date, the Company has incurred recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations. At September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $160.4 million, working capital of approximately negative $1,218,000 and shareholders’ deficit of approximately $3.7 million. Until the Company can generate significant cash from its operations, the Company expects to continue to fund its operations with existing working capital, proceeds from one or more private placement agreements, as well as potentially through debt financing or the sale of equity securities. However, the Company may not be successful in obtaining additional funding. In addition, the Company cannot be sure that its existing cash and investment resources will be adequate or that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or its shareholders.

-18-

Our operations will require us to make necessary investments in human and production resources, regulatory compliance, as well as sales and marketing efforts. We do not currently have adequate internal liquidity to meet these objectives in the long term. On June 21, 2012, we reported in a Form 8-K filing that, as part of cost cutting measures in response to our decrease in revenue amid continued delays in industry adoption of EV technology resulting from ongoing battery cost and reliability concerns, in excess of 80% of our workforce left our Company, including the resignation of members of our senior management. We continue to evaluate strategic partnering opportunities and other external sources of liquidity, including the public and private financial markets and strategic partners. Having insufficient funds has required the Company to eliminate its product development, and may result in relinquishing rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development or negotiate less favorable terms than it would otherwise choose.  Failure to obtain adequate financing also will adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue in business. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders would likely result. If the Company raises additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations, as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict its ability to operate its business.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately negative $2,000 in cash and cash equivalents and we do not anticipate that our existing anticipated receivables collections will be sufficient to meet projected operating requirements through the end of 2013 to continue operations and market trading.        

Judgment entered in Arens Controls Litigation

On December 12, 2012, a judgment was entered by the United States District Court Northern District of Illinois in favor of Arens Controls Company, L.L.C. in the amount of $2,014,169 regarding claims for two counts.  In 2008, Arens Controls Company, L.L.C. (“Arens”) filed claims against Enova with the United States District Court Northern District of Illinois.  A Partial Settlement Agreement, as amended on January 14, 2011, resolved certain claims made by Arens. However, the claims were preserved under two remaining counts concerning  i) anticipatory breach of contract by Enova for certain purchase orders that resulted in lost profit  to Arens and ii) reimbursement for engineering and capital equipment costs incurred by Arens exclusively for the fulfillment of certain purchase orders received from Enova.

        On September 24, 2013, and in order to avoid the risks and costs associated with the pending appeal, Enova and Arens entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the "Settlement Agreement") to resolve the remaining issues between them. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Enova was required to file, and filed on September 27, 2013, a motion to dismiss the pending appeal with prejudice. Arens agreed that, for a period of 120 calendar days from the date of the Settlement Agreement, Arens shall not take any action to enforce the Judgment. Thereafter, Arens will be entitled, without further notice, to enforce the Judgment against Enova or otherwise exercise all available procedures and remedies for collection of the full amount of the Judgment; and Enova agrees that it will not contest the validity of the Judgment. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Enova pays Arens $300,000 at any time during such 120 day period, then within 3 business days after Arens receives confirmation of such payment, Arens will file a satisfaction of judgment stating that the Judgment has been satisfied. Upon receipt of such $300,000 payment, Arens will completely release and forever discharge Enova from any and all claims for damages whatsoever that occurred prior to the date of the Settlement Agreement. In exchange for Arens's release, Enova will completely release and forever discharge Arens from any and all claims for damages whatsoever that occurred prior to the date of the Settlement Agreement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

-19-

 As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that as of September 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure the information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms relating to us, and was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures for the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that the Company’s internal control over disclosure controls and procedures was not effective as of September 30, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. We maintain internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

In June 2012, all but two of the Company’s employees resigned, and such staff reduction resulted in our inability to complete documentation of proper accounting procedures and management review.  Not all fully implemented fundamental elements of an effective control were present as of September 30, 2013, including formalized monitoring procedures.  Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the aforementioned factors constituted a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

As reported in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2012, six of the eight counts in the litigation between Enova and Arens Controls Company, L.L.C. were settled. The two counts that were not settled remained outstanding.  The two remaining counts concerned i) anticipatory breach of contract by Enova for certain purchase orders that resulted in lost profit  to Arens and ii) reimbursement for engineering and capital equipment costs incurred by Arens  exclusively for the fulfillment of certain purchase orders received from Enova.  

On December 12, 2012, a judgment was entered under the two remaining counts by the United States District Court Northern District of Illinois in favor of Arens Controls Company, L.L.C. in the amount of $2,014,169.  The Company filed an appeal of the judgment in the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals on January 15, 2013. The Company believes the court committed errors leading to the verdict and judgment.  However, there can be no assurance that the appeal will be successful, a negotiated settlement can be attained, or that Arens will enforce its claim in the state of California and thereby cause the Company to go into bankruptcy.

     On September 24, 2013, and in order to avoid the risks and costs associated with the pending appeal, Enova and Arens entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the "Settlement Agreement") to resolve the remaining issues between them. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Enova was required to file, and filed on September 27, 2013, a motion to dismiss the pending appeal with prejudice. Arens agreed that, for a period of 120 calendar days from the date of the Settlement Agreement, Arens shall not take any action to enforce the Judgment. Thereafter, Arens will be entitled, without further notice, to enforce the Judgment against Enova or otherwise exercise all available procedures and remedies for collection of the full amount of the Judgment; and Enova agrees that it will not contest the validity of the Judgment. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Enova pays Arens $300,000 at any time during such 120 day period, then within 3 business days after Arens receives confirmation of such payment, Arens will file a satisfaction of judgment stating that the Judgment has been satisfied. Upon receipt of such $300,000 payment, Arens will completely release and forever discharge Enova from any and all claims for damages whatsoever that occurred prior to the date of the Settlement Agreement. In exchange for Arens's release, Enova will completely release and forever discharge Arens from any and all claims for damages whatsoever that occurred prior to the date of the Settlement Agreement.

    From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.

    Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation, we do not believe it is possible to develop estimates of the range of reasonably possible loss for these matters. Considering our past experience, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, potential liabilities are subject to change due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary requirements, which could cause us to pay damage awards or settlements (or become subject to equitable remedies) that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Policies

Description of the Company and its Business

Enova Systems, Inc., (“Enova”, “We” or “the Company”), a California corporation, was incorporated in July 1976, and trades on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “ENVS” and on the London Stock Exchange under the symbol “ENV” or “ENVS”.  The Company believes it has been a globally recognized leader as a supplier of efficient, environmentally-friendly digital power components and systems products, in conjunction with associated engineering services. The Company’s core competencies are focused on the commercialization of power management and conversion systems for mobile and stationary applications.

THE DISCUSSION SET FORTH BELOW AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS 10-Q IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE FOLLOWING: ENOVA REMAINS INSOLVENT AND OWES IN EXCESS OF $4.5 MILLION IN THE AGGREGATE TO ITS TWO PRINCIPAL CREDITORS, THE CREDIT MANAGERS ASSOCIATION AND ARENS CONTROLS COMPANY, L.L.C. (“ARENS"). WITHOUT IMMEDIATE ADDITIONAL FINANCING OR COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES, THE COMPANY WILL NEED TO CEASE OPERATIONS. THE COMPANY CURRENTLY HAS NO VISIBILITY AS TO EITHER ADDITIONAL FINANCING OR THE COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. SPECIFICALLY, WITHOUT A MUTUALLY ACCEPTABLE SETTLEMENT OF THE ARENS JUDGMENT ARISING OUT OF ARENS CONTROLS COMPANY, L.L.C. v. ENOVA SYSTEMS, INC., CASE NO. 13-1102 (7TH CIRCUIT) IN THE AMOUNT OF $2.0 MILLION, THE COMPANY DOES NOT CURRENTLY BELIEVE IT HAS ANY ALTERNATIVE OTHER THAN TO CEASE OPERATIONS. THE COMPANY CURRENTLY EMPLOYS ONLY TWO PERSONNEL, JOHN MICEK, THE COMPANY'S CEO, CFO AND SECRETARY, AND ONE ADDITIONAL INDIVIDUAL IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2013, THE COMPANY ENTERED INTO A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH ARENS PROVIDING A PERIOD OF 120 DAYS TO SETTLE THE JUDGMENT FOR THE AMOUNT OF $300,000.  THE COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE VISIBILITY FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO MAKE PAYMENT UNDER THE AGREEMENT.

Basis of Presentation Interim Financial Statements

The financial information as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair statement of its financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, and certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules or regulations; however, the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, historically the Company has experienced significant recurring net losses and operating cash flow deficits. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, including among others, its ability to raise additional funding, and its ability to successfully restructure operations to lower manufacturing costs and reduce operating expenses.

  To date, the Company has incurred recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations. At September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $160.4 million, cash and cash equivalents of negative $2,000, working capital of approximately negative $1,218,000 and shareholders’ deficit of approximately $3.7 million. Until the Company can generate significant cash from its operations, the Company expects to continue to fund its operations with existing cash resources, proceeds from one or more private placement agreements, as well as potentially through debt financing or the sale of equity securities. However, the Company may not be successful in obtaining additional funding. In addition, the Company cannot be sure that its existing cash and investment resources will be adequate or that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or its stockholders.

Our operations will require us to make necessary investments in human and production resources, regulatory compliance, as well as sales and marketing efforts. We do not currently have adequate internal liquidity to meet these objectives in the long term. On June 21, 2012, we reported in a Form 8-K filing that, as part of cost cutting measures in response to our decrease in revenue amid continued delays in industry adoption of EV technology resulting from ongoing battery cost and reliability concerns, in excess of 80% of our workforce left our Company, including the resignation of members of our senior management. We continue to evaluate strategic partnering opportunities and other external sources of liquidity, including the public and private financial markets and strategic partners. As a result of having insufficient funds, the Company has delayed all of its product development.  Failure to obtain adequate financing also will adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue in business. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders would likely result. If the Company raises additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations, as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict its ability to operate its business.

The Company continues to pursue other options to raise additional capital to fund its operations; however, there can be no assurance that we can successfully raise additional funds through the capital markets.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately negative $2,000 in cash and cash equivalents and does not anticipate that its anticipated receivables collections will be sufficient to meet its projected operating requirements through December 2013 to continue operations and market trading.  

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to US GAAP. There have been no significant changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to what was previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Revenue Recognition

The Company manufactures proprietary products and other products based on design specifications provided by its customers. The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:

• Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement — The Company documents all terms of an arrangement in a written contract signed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue.

• Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Rendered — The Company performs all services or delivers all products prior to recognizing revenue. Professional consulting and engineering services are considered to be performed when the services are complete. Equipment is considered delivered upon delivery to a customer’s designated location. In certain instances, the customer elects to take title upon shipment. 

• The Fee for the Arrangement is Fixed or Determinable — Prior to recognizing revenue, a customer’s fee is either fixed or determinable under the terms of the written contract. Fees for professional consulting services, engineering services and equipment sales are fixed under the terms of the written contract. The customer’s fee is negotiated at the outset of the arrangement and is not subject to refund or adjustment during the initial term of the arrangement.

• Collectability is Reasonably Assured — The Company determines that collectability is reasonably assured prior to recognizing revenue. Collectability is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. New customers are subject to a credit review process which evaluates the customer’s financial position and ultimately its ability to pay. The Company does not enter into arrangements unless collectability is reasonably assured at the outset. Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined during the arrangement that collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized on a cash basis. Amounts received upfront for engineering or development fees under multiple-element arrangements are deferred and recognized over the period of committed services or performance, if such arrangements require the Company to provide on-going services or performance. All amounts received under collaborative research agreements or research and development contracts are nonrefundable, regardless of the success of the underlying research.

The Company recognizes revenue from milestone payments over the remaining minimum period of performance obligations.

The Company also recognizes engineering and construction contract revenues using the percentage-of-completion method, based primarily on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. Customer-furnished materials, labor, and equipment, and in certain cases subcontractor materials, labor, and equipment, are included in revenues and cost of revenues when management believes that the company is responsible for the ultimate acceptability of the project. Contracts are segmented between types of services, such as engineering and construction, and accordingly, revenue and gross margin related to each activity is recognized as those separate services are rendered.

Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Claims against customers are recognized as revenue upon settlement. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts received are classified as current assets. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenues recognized to date are classified as current liabilities on contracts.

Changes in project performance and conditions, estimated profitability, and final contract settlements may result in future revisions to engineering and development contract costs and revenue.

These accounting policies were applied consistently for all periods presented. Our operating results would be affected if other alternatives were used. Information about the impact on our operating results is included in the footnotes to our financial statements.

Several other factors related to the Company may have a significant impact on our operating results from year to year. For example, the accounting rules governing the timing of revenue recognition related to product contracts are complex and it can be difficult to estimate when we will recognize revenue generated by a given transaction. Factors such as acceptance of services provided, payment terms, creditworthiness of the customer, and timing of delivery or acceptance of our products often cause revenues related to sales generated in one period to be deferred and recognized in later periods. For arrangements in which services revenue is deferred, related direct and incremental costs may also be deferred.

Deferred Revenue

The Company recognizes revenues as earned. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which service is rendered are recorded as a liability under deferred revenues. When the Company enters into production and development contracts with customers, an evaluation is made to ascertain the specific revenue generating activities of each contract and establishes the units of accounting for each activity. Revenue on these units of accounting is not recognized until a) there is persuasive evidence of the existence of a contract, b) the service has been rendered and delivery has occurred, c) there is a fixed and determinable price, and d) collectability is reasonable assured.

Warranty Costs

The Company provides product warranties for specific product lines and accrues for estimated future warranty costs in the period in which revenue is recognized. Our products are generally warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 to 24 months from the date of installation, subject to standard limitations for equipment that has been altered by other than Enova Systems personnel and equipment which has been subject to negligent use. Warranty provisions are based on past experience of product returns, number of units repaired and our historical warranty incidence over the past twenty-four month period. The warranty liability is evaluated on an ongoing basis for adequacy and may be adjusted as additional information regarding expected warranty costs becomes known.

Stock Based Compensation

We measure the compensation cost for stock-based awards classified as equity at their fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures.

Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Certain accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Stock Option Program Description

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had two equity compensation plans, the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and the 2006 equity compensation plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 1996 Plan has expired for the purposes of issuing new grants. However, the 1996 Plan will continue to govern awards previously granted under that plan. The 2006 Plan has been approved by the Company’s shareholders. Equity compensation grants are designed to reward employees and executives for their long term contributions to the Company and to provide incentives for them to remain with the Company. The number and frequency of equity compensation grants are based on competitive practices, operating results of the company, and government regulations.

 The maximum number of shares issuable over the term of the 1996 Plan was limited to 65 million shares (without giving effect to subsequent stock splits). Options granted under the 1996 Plan typically have an exercise price of 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date and expire no later than ten years from the grant date. On August 27, 2013, the Board of Directors of Enova Systems approved amendments to Enova's 2006 Equity Compensation Plan (a) to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance from 3,000,000 shares to 9,000,000 shares and (b) to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued to an individual in any calendar year from 500,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares. Of the 9,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under the amended 2006 Plan, of which 4,400,000 and 270,000 were granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 3,711,000 shares were available for grant as of September 30, 2013. Options granted under the 2006 Plan have terms of between three and ten years and generally vest and become fully exercisable from one to three years from the date of grant or vest according to the price performance of our shares.

 Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $6,000 and $166,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized is $48,000. The remaining period over which the future compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 32 months.

 The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2013:

	Number of Share Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years		Aggregate Intrinsic Value(1)
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		810,000	$	0.64		4.06	$	—
Granted		4,400,000	$	0.02		2.91	$	—

Vested and expected to vest (2)		5,210,000	$	0.12		2.97	$	—

(1)	Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value of the closing price per share of our common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal period in excess of the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding or exercisable, except for the “Exercised” line, which uses the closing price on the date exercised.
(2)	Number of shares includes options vested and those expected to vest net of estimated forfeitures.

     The exercise prices of the options outstanding at September 30, 2013 ranged from $0.07 to $4.35. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.02 and $0.05, respectively. The Company’s policy is to issue shares from its authorized shares upon the exercise of stock options.

Unvested share activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is summarized below:

	Unvested Number of Options			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at December 31, 2012		236,000		$	0.04
Granted		4,400,000		$	0.02
Vested		(76,000	)	$	0.11
Forfeited		—		$	—
Unvested balance at September 30, 2013		4,560,000		$	0.02

The fair values of all stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions:

	For the nine months ended
	September 30, 2013			September 30, 2012
Expected life (in years)		2			6.5
Average risk-free interest rate		1.66	%		1.66	%
Expected volatility		111	%		108	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Forfeiture rate		3	%		3	%

The estimated fair value of grants of stock options to nonemployees of the Company is charged to expense in the financial statements. These options vest in the same manner as the employee options granted under each of the option plans as described above.

Equity [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity

On April 23, 2012, the Company entered into a $6,600,000 purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to $6,600,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock, and on April 24, 2012, the Company entered into another purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to $3,400,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations. We received proceeds of $132,000, net of financing costs of $152,000, under the $3,400,000 Purchase Agreement and issued a total of 1,754,974 shares of common stock in the second quarter of 2012. As consideration for its commitment to purchase common stock under the $3,400,000 Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Lincoln Park 281,030 shares of common stock.  Access to funding under the facility is dependent upon our shares being listed on a national exchange, and as our shares were delisted from the NYSE Amex exchange on October 31, 2012, the Company can no longer raise funds from the facility.

Notes to Financial Statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation — Interim Financial Statements

The financial information as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair statement of its financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, and certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules or regulations; however, the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 HAVE NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE COMPANY's REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. OUR REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN THE FILING OF THE SEPTEMBER 30,2013 FORM 10Q.

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, historically the Company has experienced significant recurring net losses and operating cash flow deficits. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, including among others, its ability to raise additional funding, and its ability to successfully restructure operations to lower manufacturing costs and reduce operating expenses.

  To date, the Company has incurred recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations. At September 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $160.4 million, cash and cash equivalents of negative $2,000, working capital of approximately negative $1,218,000 and shareholders’ deficit of approximately $3.7 million. Until the Company can generate significant cash from its operations, the Company expects to continue to fund its operations with existing cash resources, proceeds from one or more private placement agreements, as well as potentially through debt financing or the sale of equity securities. However, the Company may not be successful in obtaining additional funding. In addition, the Company cannot be sure that its existing cash and investment resources will be adequate or that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or its stockholders.

Our operations will require us to make necessary investments in human and production resources, regulatory compliance, as well as sales and marketing efforts. We do not currently have adequate internal liquidity to meet these objectives in the long term. On June 21, 2012, we reported in a Form 8-K filing that, as part of cost cutting measures in response to our decrease in revenue amid continued delays in industry adoption of EV technology resulting from ongoing battery cost and reliability concerns, in excess of 80% of our workforce left our Company, including the resignation of members of our senior management. We continue to evaluate strategic partnering opportunities and other external sources of liquidity, including the public and private financial markets and strategic partners. As a result of having insufficient funds, the Company has delayed all of its product development.  Failure to obtain adequate financing also will adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue in business. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders would likely result. If the Company raises additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations, as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict its ability to operate its business.

The Company continues to pursue other options to raise additional capital to fund its operations; however, there can be no assurance that we can successfully raise additional funds through the capital markets.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately negative $2,000 in cash and cash equivalents and does not anticipate that its anticipated receivables collections will be sufficient to meet its projected operating requirements through December 2013 to continue operations and market trading.  

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to US GAAP. There have been no significant changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to what was previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Revenue Recognition

The Company manufactures proprietary products and other products based on design specifications provided by its customers. The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:

• Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement — The Company documents all terms of an arrangement in a written contract signed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue.

• Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Rendered — The Company performs all services or delivers all products prior to recognizing revenue. Professional consulting and engineering services are considered to be performed when the services are complete. Equipment is considered delivered upon delivery to a customer’s designated location. In certain instances, the customer elects to take title upon shipment. 

• The Fee for the Arrangement is Fixed or Determinable — Prior to recognizing revenue, a customer’s fee is either fixed or determinable under the terms of the written contract. Fees for professional consulting services, engineering services and equipment sales are fixed under the terms of the written contract. The customer’s fee is negotiated at the outset of the arrangement and is not subject to refund or adjustment during the initial term of the arrangement.

• Collectability is Reasonably Assured — The Company determines that collectability is reasonably assured prior to recognizing revenue. Collectability is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. New customers are subject to a credit review process which evaluates the customer’s financial position and ultimately its ability to pay. The Company does not enter into arrangements unless collectability is reasonably assured at the outset. Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined during the arrangement that collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized on a cash basis. Amounts received upfront for engineering or development fees under multiple-element arrangements are deferred and recognized over the period of committed services or performance, if such arrangements require the Company to provide on-going services or performance. All amounts received under collaborative research agreements or research and development contracts are nonrefundable, regardless of the success of the underlying research.

The Company recognizes revenue from milestone payments over the remaining minimum period of performance obligations.

The Company also recognizes engineering and construction contract revenues using the percentage-of-completion method, based primarily on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. Customer-furnished materials, labor, and equipment, and in certain cases subcontractor materials, labor, and equipment, are included in revenues and cost of revenues when management believes that the company is responsible for the ultimate acceptability of the project. Contracts are segmented between types of services, such as engineering and construction, and accordingly, revenue and gross margin related to each activity is recognized as those separate services are rendered.

Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Claims against customers are recognized as revenue upon settlement. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts received are classified as current assets. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenues recognized to date are classified as current liabilities on contracts.

Changes in project performance and conditions, estimated profitability, and final contract settlements may result in future revisions to engineering and development contract costs and revenue.

These accounting policies were applied consistently for all periods presented. Our operating results would be affected if other alternatives were used. Information about the impact on our operating results is included in the footnotes to our financial statements.

Several other factors related to the Company may have a significant impact on our operating results from year to year. For example, the accounting rules governing the timing of revenue recognition related to product contracts are complex and it can be difficult to estimate when we will recognize revenue generated by a given transaction. Factors such as acceptance of services provided, payment terms, creditworthiness of the customer, and timing of delivery or acceptance of our products often cause revenues related to sales generated in one period to be deferred and recognized in later periods. For arrangements in which services revenue is deferred, related direct and incremental costs may also be deferred.

Deferred Revenues

The Company recognizes revenues as earned. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which service is rendered are recorded as a liability under deferred revenues. When the Company enters into production and development contracts with customers, an evaluation is made to ascertain the specific revenue generating activities of each contract and establishes the units of accounting for each activity. Revenue on these units of accounting is not recognized until a) there is persuasive evidence of the existence of a contract, b) the service has been rendered and delivery has occurred, c) there is a fixed and determinable price, and d) collectability is reasonable assured.

Warranty Costs

The Company provides product warranties for specific product lines and accrues for estimated future warranty costs in the period in which revenue is recognized. Our products are generally warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 to 24 months from the date of installation, subject to standard limitations for equipment that has been altered by other than Enova Systems personnel and equipment which has been subject to negligent use. Warranty provisions are based on past experience of product returns, number of units repaired and our historical warranty incidence over the past twenty-four month period. The warranty liability is evaluated on an ongoing basis for adequacy and may be adjusted as additional information regarding expected warranty costs becomes known.

Stock Based Compensation

We measure the compensation cost for stock-based awards classified as equity at their fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest, net of estimated forfeitures.

Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Certain accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 In December 2011, the Company completed a private equity placement of 11,250,000 shares of common stock for $1,245,000 together with warrants to purchase up to 11,250,000 shares of common stock to a group of 17 shareholders (the “Low-Beer Managed Accounts”). The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years and exercisable at a price of $0.22 per share. The warrants further provide that if, for a twenty consecutive trading day period, the average of the closing price quoted on the OTCQB market is greater than or equal to $0.44 per share, with at least an average of 10,000 shares traded per day, then, on the 10th calendar day following written notice from the Company, any outstanding warrants will be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to the cashless/net exercise provisions under the warrants.
