As part of its strategy to become a turnkey lighting energy services company, Energy Focus, Inc. is accelerating this transition through the acquisition of SRC which establishes a sales and delivery channel into the $100 billion public sector existing building market for energy efficient lighting solutions. Energy Focus, Inc. believes the combination of an advanced lighting technology supplier with a comprehensive lighting solutions services platform will allow it to penetrate markets in multiple geographies expanded by the recent government stimulus activity.
Jami Hall, President of Stones River Companies (SRC) commented: "I am delighted to announce SRC's joining with Energy Focus, Inc. I believe that as a part of Energy Focus, Inc., SRC has the potential of taking our lighting energy services business to the next level. We've seen our public sector pipeline grow dramatically with the stimulus as well as with the government's renewed emphasis on saving both energy and improving the environment. We see Energy Focus, Inc. at the forefront of advanced high-performance, efficient lighting technology."
Joseph Kaveski, CEO, Energy Focus, Inc. said: "SRC's business is based primarily on retrofitting existing public sector buildings with energy efficiency lighting, which is a significant benefactor of stimulus funding. By joining our forces, we expect to see dramatic growth in our energy services solutions business." Mr. Kaveski continued, "The combination of Energy Focus' energy efficient technology added to SRC's established sales and delivery capability offers a value added package that no other lighting energy services company provides in our targeted markets."

This innovative approach proved to be very successful in establishing a unique niche in the marketplace.

These services include the design and implementation of energy efficient lighting measures to provide projects and services primarily in a regional marketplace, encompassing several states surrounding Tennessee. In 2002, Stones River Companies began offering lighting retrofit projects in support of Energy Services Companies serving the public sector existing building market.
