Ener1, a pioneer of lithium-ion batteries for plug-in vehicles, has warned that it might not have sufficient funds to remain operational as a result of losses from its investment in Think Global, a Norwegian automaker that declared bankruptcy in late June.
In a regulatory filing on Tuesday, New York-based Ener1 announced its restated financial results. The preliminary statement shows that Ener1's estimated 2010 net loss shot up to $165.3 million. That's nearly $100 million more in losses than Ener1 had previously reported.
Ener1 says that, while investigations are not yet complete, the adjustments "were the result of one or more material weaknesses." Ener1 says it's "in the process of determining whether the company has sufficient liquidity to fund its operations." That all sounds rough, but the full story is not yet public. Ener1 says it will issue a detailed release when "the evaluation of the restatement is completed."
