NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

     Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (the “Company” or “ECD”), through its subsidiaries, commercializes materials, products and production processes for the alternative energy generation (primarily solar energy), energy storage and information technology markets.

     On August 19, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Solar Integrated Technologies, Inc. (“SIT”), a Los Angeles-based company that manufactures, designs and installs building integrated photovoltaic roofing systems for commercial rooftops. The results of SIT’s operations have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements beginning August 19, 2009.

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements for interim reporting do not include all of the information and notes or disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s share of earnings or losses of nonconsolidated affiliates are included in our consolidated operating results using the equity method of accounting when the Company is able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of the affiliate.

     The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the Company’s financial statements were issued. No material subsequent events have occurred that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates.

Capitalized Interest

     Interest is capitalized during periods of active equipment construction. During the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred total interest costs of $7.3 million and $7.1 million, respectively, of which $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were capitalized.

General

     The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and have not materially changed as of the date of this Report with the exception of the following:

Restricted Cash

     In September 2010, the Company entered into a letter of credit facility, which requires cash collateral equal to 102% of any exposure under letters of credit issued under the facility. Such collateral is recorded as restricted cash on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenues from Product Development Agreements

     In July 2010, the Company began recording research and development cost sharing arrangements as research and development expense as incurred. The amounts funded by the customer will be recognized as an offset to the aggregate research and development expense rather than as contract revenues.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

     On July 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which amends Topic 810 “Consolidations” (“ASC 810”) to change the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”). It also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE (and is therefore required to consolidate the VIE), by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and which enterprise has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only was required when specific events had occurred. Qualifying special purpose entities, which were previously exempt from the application of this standard, will be subject to the provisions of this standard when it becomes effective. ASC 810 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. ASC 810 is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 810 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     On July 1, 2010, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605):Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements — a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU 2009-13”), which amends ASC Subtopic 605-25 for separate consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. ASU 2009-13 eliminates the use of the residual

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

method for allocating consideration, as well as the criteria that requires objective and reliable evidence of fair value of undelivered elements in order to separate the elements in a multiple-element arrangement. Upon adoption of the guidance the delivered element(s) will be considered a separate unit of accounting only if both of the following criteria are met: (i) the delivered item(s) has stand-alone value to the customer and (ii) if a general right of return exists relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is substantially in the control of the vendor and is considered probable. ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     On July 1, 2010, the Company adopted the FASB ASU 2009-15, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing” (“ASU 2009-15”), which amends ASC 470-20 clarifies that share lending arrangements that are executed in connection with convertible debt offerings or other financings should be measured at fair value and recognized as a debt issuance cost which is amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the financing arrangement as interest cost. In addition, ASU 2009-15 states that the loaned shares should be excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the common and diluted earnings per share calculation. The amended provisions of ASC 470-20 is effective for all arrangements outstanding as of the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and retrospective application is required for all periods presented. In addition, ASC 470-20 is effective for arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009.

     The following table summarizes the effect of adopting ASC 470-20:

Note 2 — Loss Per Share

     Basic loss per common share attributable to ECD stockholders’ is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to ECD stockholders’ by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share attributable to ECD stockholders’ reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net loss attributable to ECD stockholders’. The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator to calculate basic and diluted loss per share attributable to ECD stockholders’:

     As part of the agreement for the Convertible Senior Notes (“Notes”) issued in June 2008, the Company also issued 3,444,975 shares as part of a “share-lending” arrangement with the underwriter. The purpose of the share-lending agreement is to facilitate transactions which allow the investors in the Notes to hedge their investments in the Notes. The underwriter received all proceeds from any sale of shares pursuant to the share lending agreement. The shares must be returned to the Company no later than the maturity date of the Notes. These shares are considered issued and outstanding and have all the rights of any holder of the Company’s common stock. However, because the shares must be returned to the Company, the shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share.

     The Notes are only convertible prior to March 15, 2013 under specific circumstances involving the price of the Company’s common stock, the price of the Notes, and certain corporate transactions including, but not limited to, an offering of common stock at a price less than market, a distribution of cash or other assets to stockholders, a merger, consolidation or other share exchange, or a change in control. The holders of the Notes may convert the principal amount of their notes into cash and, with respect to any amounts in excess of the principal amount, if applicable, shares of the Company’s common stock initially at a conversion rate of 10.8932 shares (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $91.80 per share) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. The holders of the Notes are only entitled to amounts in excess of the principal amount if shares of the Company’s common stock exceed a market price of $91.80 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days during the applicable cash settlement averaging period. During the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s common stock price did not exceed the conversion price. Therefore, there are no contingently issuable shares to include in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

Note 4 — Acquisition

     On August 19, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of SIT, a Los Angeles-based company that manufactures, designs and installs building integrated photovoltaic roofing systems for commercial rooftops. The acquisition is an important element of the Company’s future growth plan as it transitions from manufacturing and selling a product to a company that provides complete solar solutions, project implementation and value-added services. The Company expects to enhance its downstream presence by combining its strengths as a product innovator with the proven installation expertise and global footprint of SIT. The acquisition also strengthens and diversifies the Company’s business.

     The Company paid 6.75 pence per share, or approximately $11.3 million cash consideration for all of outstanding shares of SIT. The Company also recognized a gain of $0.4 million due to the effective settlement of the Company’s and SIT’s preexisting contractual supply relationship. The gain was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and was recorded in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company incurred $3.0 million of acquisition-related costs during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 which are included in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Purchase Price Allocation

     The following table summarizes the final amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date.

     The fair value of the accounts receivable acquired was $10.0 million. The gross contractual amount due is $10.0 million, of which an insignificant amount is expected to be uncollectible. In addition, sales-type lease receivables with a fair value of $12.7 million were acquired. The gross contractual amount due is $18.8 million. A liability of $38.5 million has been recognized for estimated warranty claims on products sold by SIT.

     Results of operations for SIT are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning August 19, 2009. The unaudited pro forma combined historical results for the amounts of SIT’s revenue and earnings that would have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations had the acquisition date been July 1, 2009 is as follows:

     The pro forma information includes adjustments for depreciation and the effect of the amortization of intangible assets recognized in the acquisition, along with intercompany elimination entries. This pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

     In conjunction with the SIT acquisition, goodwill of approximately $35.3 million was recorded and consisted largely of the synergies and economies of scale from combining the operations of the Company and SIT. All of the goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s United Solar Ovonic Segment. It is estimated that none of the goodwill recognized will be deductible for income tax purposes.

     In addition, intangible assets with a fair value of $2.8 million were recorded, including trade name intangible assets with an indefinite life of $1.1 million. Amortization expense was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

     During the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, changing market conditions, losses incurred to-date and the increased near-term capacity anticipated from our Technology Roadmap developed during the third quarter, caused us to evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets and goodwill. As a result, we wrote off all of our goodwill and intangible assets.

Lines of Credit

     During September 2010, the Company terminated its $30.0 million and $25.0 million secured revolving credit facilities entered into in February 2008 with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The security provided under the secured revolving credit facility has been released. The secured revolving credit facility was replaced with a Letter of Credit Facility, also with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. Under the Letter of Credit Facility, we may issue up to $25.0 million in letters of credit, which will be secured by cash equal to 102% of the letters of credit exposure. The Letter of Credit Facility matures on February 4, 2013. Letters of credit totaling approximately $8.6 million as of September 30, 2010 were transferred from the cancelled secured revolving credit facility to the new Letter of Credit Facility.

Convertible Senior Notes

     In June 2008, the Company completed an offering of $316.3 million of Convertible Senior Notes (“Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.0% per year, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2008. If the Notes are not converted, they will mature on June 15, 2013.

14

ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The Notes are only convertible prior to March 15, 2013 under specific circumstances involving the price of the Company’s common stock, the price of the Notes and certain corporate transactions including, but not limited to, an offering of common stock at a price less than market, a distribution of cash or other assets to stockholders, a merger, consolidation or other share exchange, or a change in control. The holders of the Notes may convert the principal amount of their notes into cash and, if applicable, shares of the Company’s common stock initially at a conversion rate of 10.8932 shares (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $91.80 per share) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. The holders of the Notes are only entitled to amounts in excess of the principal amount if shares of the Company’s common stock exceed a market price of $91.80 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days during the applicable cash settlement averaging period.

     During September 2010, the Company entered into exchange agreements with certain holders of the Company’s Notes whereby the Company issued an aggregate of 1,309,263 shares of its common stock in exchange for an aggregate principal amount of $9.1 million held by the holders of the Notes. In connection with this exchange the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $1.2 million.

     The effective interest rate for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 11.0% and 10.4%, respectively. At September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the carrying amount of the conversion option recorded in stockholders’ equity was $81.8 million and $81.9 million, respectively.

(See Note 1 — Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information). As part of the agreement for the Notes issued in June 2008, the Company also issued 3,444,975 shares as part of a “share-lending” arrangement with the

15

ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES

underwriter. The shares issued as part of the share lending arrangement coincide with the Notes term and will terminate on June 15, 2013. The fair value of the outstanding loaned shares as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010 was $17.3 million and $14.1 million, respectively. The Company recognized debt issuance costs of $5.5 million which are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the financing arrangement as interest cost and are included in “Other assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has $3.7 million and $3.9 million of unamortized issuance costs associated with the share-lending arrangement as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized an additional $0.2 million of interest costs relating to the amortization of the issuance costs associated with the share lending arrangement for both of the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The counterparty to the share lending agreement is required to provide collateral at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned shares when the rating from Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group for its indebtedness falls below A-. No collateral was required as of September 30, 2010.

Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies

     The Company is subject to certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, commercial disputes, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, tax claims and employment matters. Although the outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that any of these legal proceedings or matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.

Note 11 — Restructuring Charges

     The Company has incurred ongoing restructuring charges to better align operating expenses with near-term revenue expectations. In September 2010, the Company incurred additional restructuring charges as part of its manufacturing capacity realignment. The Company estimates that it will incur total restructuring costs of $0.5 million, all of which was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and was primarily related to employee severance. The restructuring is expected to be completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011. The restructuring charges were primarily incurred in the United Solar Ovonic segment.

Stock Options

     In order to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant, the Company applies the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Inherent in this model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, option life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. While the risk-free interest rate and dividend yield are less subjective assumptions, typically based on factual data derived from public sources, the expected stock-price volatility and option life assumptions require a greater level of judgment.

     The Company uses an expected stock-price volatility assumption that is based on historical implied volatilities of the underlying stock which is obtained from public data sources. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury securities with a term equal to that of the option. With regard to the weighted-average option life assumption, the Company considers the exercise behavior of past grants and models the pattern of aggregate exercises. Patterns are determined on specific criteria of the aggregate pool of optionees. Forfeiture rates are based on the Company’s historical data for stock option forfeitures.

     A summary of the transactions during the three months ended September 30, 2010 with respect to the Company’s stock options is as follows:

						Aggregate Intrinsic

     As of September 30, 2010, there was $1.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

Restricted Stock Awards

     Restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) consist of shares of common stock the Company issued to employees and nonemployee directors. Upon issuance, RSAs become outstanding and have voting rights. The shares issued to employees are subject to forfeiture and to restrictions which limit the sale or transfer during the restriction period. The fair value of the RSAs is determined on the date of grant based on the market price of the Company’s common stock and is recognized as compensation expense. The value of RSAs granted to employees is amortized over their three-year vesting period, while the value of RSAs granted to nonemployee directors is amortized over a two- to nine-year vesting period.

     Information concerning RSAs awarded during the three month period ended September 30, 2010 is as follows:

Restricted Stock Units “RSUs”

     RSUs settle on a one-for-one basis in shares of the Company’s common stock and vest in accordance with the terms of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan or the Executive Severance Plan and the 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan (collectively the “Plans”), as applicable. On September 30, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an offer to exchange approximately 98,000 previously issued RSUs for new RSUs on a one-for-one basis.

Note 13 — Fair Value Measurements

     Financial instruments held by the Company include corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, and money market funds. The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities. The fair value of these financial assets was determined based on observable and unobservable inputs.

     Observable inputs consist of market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own market assumptions. These inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

• Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or all other inputs that are observable

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own assumptions

     If the inputs used to measure the fair value of a financial instrument fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the financial instrument is categorized based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

     Whenever possible, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value. In the absence of quoted market prices, the Company uses independent sources and data to determine fair value. At September 30, 2010, the fair value of the Company’s investments in corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, and money market funds was determined using quoted prices in active markets. The carrying values of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values. The fair value of the derivative instruments recorded in

19

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2010 was not significant. The fair value of the Company’s convertible senior notes was estimated at $196.1 million as of September 30, 2010 using level 1 inputs. In addition, the fair value of the Company’s outstanding loaned shares related to the share-lending agreement was estimated at $17.3 million as of September 30, 2010 using level 1 inputs.

Note 14 — Income Taxes

     The net tax expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 primarily relates to the Company’s non-U.S. operations.

     At September 30, 2010, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of $1.1 million resulting from the release of the valuation allowance in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 on the realizable portion of its net deferred tax assets.

     Included within the Company’s net operating losses (“NOLs”) of $422.8 million, are acquired NOLs of approximately $61.7 million in connection with the acquisition of SIT. Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the utilization of these NOLs and certain other tax attributes. These provisions apply after a Company has undergone an ownership change and is based on the value of the stock of the acquired loss corporation before the ownership change times a long-term tax exempt rate, a rate published by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The estimated annual limitation of the acquired SIT NOLs is approximately $0.5 million.

     The Company has a full valuation allowance against its remaining net deferred tax assets of $302.3 million (consisting primarily of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards which expire in various amounts between the current year and 2030, and basis differences in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets). Based on the Company’s operating results for the preceding years, it was determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized.

Note 15 — Variable Interest Entity

     A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity that by design has (i) insufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) equity holders that lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIE’s are consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that potentially could be significant to the entity. Variable interests in a VIE are contractual, ownership, or other financial interests in a VIE that change with changes in the fair value of the VIE’s net assets.

     In 2010, the Company entered into a development loan agreement and a development services agreement with Winch Energia S.R.L. and its affiliates (collectively, “Winch”) whereby it would fund Winch’s acquisition of development rights for solar installation projects in Italy and France. As part of these agreements, the Company provides Winch with the funding necessary to procure the development rights and defray third party development expenditures through the time permanent financing is obtained. The Company will also procure the solar modules for the projects. Winch manages the development of the solar projects, arranges the construction debt financing and procures the turnkey Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) contractor, who will install the solar modules procured by the Company. In the event of a loan default, the Company may request that the Winch shareholders transfer 100% of their equity interests to it for a fee of 1 Euro. If this provision is enforced and the Company realizes the value of its loan by selling or otherwise monetizing the development rights, the net proceeds (after deducting costs, interest, and other amounts owed to it) are to be remitted to Winch. As of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010 the balance of the outstanding loan was $17.4 million and $14.2 million, respectively. The loan bears interest at 5% per annum and the Company will also receive a fee

21

ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

equivalent to a 10% annual interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the loan as compensation for services provided to support the development of the projects. These amounts are payable upon maturity of the development loan.

     The Company determined Winch was a VIE because its equity investment at risk is insufficient to permit it to finance its activities without additional financial support. As a result of a qualitative and quantitative analysis of Winch, the Company determined it was the primary beneficiary of the VIE because it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Winch’s economic performance and it is expected to absorb a majority of Winch’s expected losses, should losses be incurred. Although the Company is the primary beneficiary, Winch has not been consolidated because it is not material to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity as of and for the period ended September 30, 2010. The Winch VIE had assets of $19.3 million and an insignificant amount of liabilities (other than amounts owed to the Company).

Note 16 — Business Segments

     The Company has two segments, United Solar Ovonic and Ovonic Materials. The Company includes SIT in its United Solar Ovonic segment.

     The following table lists the Company’s segment information and reconciliation to the Company’s consolidated financial statement amounts. The grouping “Corporate and Other” below does not meet the definition of an operating segment as it contains the Company’s headquarter costs, consolidating entries, and the Company’s investments in joint ventures, which are not allocated to the above segments; however, it is included below for reconciliation purposes only.

Ltd. for $1. In connection with the sale of Cobasys, the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement dated July 2, 2004 was terminated effective as of the transaction date. Termination of the Operating Agreement was effectuated by a Termination Agreement dated as of the transaction date. This transaction coincides with settlement of a pending lawsuit against Cobasys filed in August 2008 by Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, Inc. (“MBUSI”). In connection with settling the lawsuit, OBC paid MBUSI $1.1 million from the $1.3 million in royalties distributed to it by Cobasys and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

entered into a mutual release with MBUSI of all Cobasys-related claims. In addition, Cobasys restructured its intellectual property licenses with the Company and OBC so that OBC has royalty-free, exclusive rights to the technology for defined non-transportation uses and Cobasys has royalty-free exclusive rights for defined transportation uses.

     In connection with these transactions, OBC, CTV and the Company settled and jointly dismissed their pending arbitration without any finding of financial liability. These parties entered into mutual releases and agreed to the terms of the Cobasys sale transaction. In July 2009, the Company recorded the $1.3 million received in connection with this settlement as a “Distribution from joint venture” and the $1.1 million paid to MBUSI as “Selling, general and administrative” expenses.

Item 2:Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     This section summarizes significant factors affecting the Company’s consolidated operating results, financial condition and liquidity for the three month period ended September 30, 2010. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) included in the Report should be read in conjunction with the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Report.

Overview

     We design, manufacture and sell photovoltaic (“PV”) products, known as PV or solar laminates that generate clean, renewable energy by converting sunlight into electricity. We also receive fees and royalties from licensees of our nickel metal hydride (“NiMH”) battery technology and sell high performance nickel hydroxide used in NiMH batteries, and receive funds for product development agreements under government sponsored programs.

     In August 2009, we acquired SIT, a company that manufactures, designs, and installs building integrated PV systems for commercial rooftops. As a result of this acquisition, we are transitioning our business from focusing primarily on manufacturing and selling our PV products to providing complete solar solutions, project implementation and value-added services. The SIT business is included in our United Solar Ovonic segment, which represents more than 90% of our revenues.

     We continue to adjust our production in our United Solar Ovonic segment and reduce costs to respond to near-term market conditions and improve our overall competitiveness. We have incurred restructuring expenses, including expenses of approximately $0.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, as a result of certain of these activities and may incur additional restructuring expenses as we pursue further cost reduction activities in the future. We have also recognized under-absorption of overhead costs, and associated period costs, resulting from our production adjustments and may recognize similar costs in the future if we do not sustainably operate our facilities at full productive capacity. In addition, in August 2010, we announced a plan to realign our solar manufacturing capacity in our United Solar Ovonic segment among our existing facilities as part of our overall cost reduction activities. Effective in the fall of 2010, we will shift certain final assembly operations from our Auburn Hills, Michigan campus to our Tijuana, Mexico facility. We will continue to manufacture our proprietary solar cells at the Auburn Hills campus and continue to refine our production plans as we implement our Technology Roadmap designed to increase the conversion efficiency of our PV laminates and substantially reduce our cost per watt during fiscal year 2011.

Key Indicators of Financial Condition and Operating Performance

     In evaluating our business, we use product and system sales, gross profit, pre-tax income, earnings per share, net income, cash flow from operations and other key performance metrics. We also use production and shipments, measured in megawatts (“MW”), and gross margins on product sales as key performance metrics for our United Solar Ovonic segment, particularly in connection with the manufacturing operations in this segment. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we produced 33.6 MW compared to 33.2 MW for the same period in 2009.

     Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $65.3 million, an increase of $25.8 million or 65.2%, compared to the same period in 2009. This increase in total revenues was primarily due to $9.1 million in system sales and $19.7 million in product sales, offset by $3.0 million in expenses from product development agreements due to an accounting reclassification. See Note 1 “Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” paragraph “Revenues from Product Development Agreements” to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The $19.7 million in product sales is comprised of an increase of $25.6 million due to higher sales volume, offset by $5.9 million due to lower average selling prices.

     Cost of product sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $44.9 million, an increase of $21.3 million or 90.4%, compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to $28.9 million comprised of increased sales volume and an unfavorable change in product mix and $0.8 million in increased warranty costs, offset by $5.1 million due to improved manufacturing efficiencies and $3.3 million of lower depreciation expense due to the impairment recorded in the third quarter of 2010.

     Cost of system sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $10.6 million, an increase of $6.8 million or 183.3%, compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to the completion of a large scale job in Italy.

     The combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and research expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $2.0 million, a decrease of $2.4 million or 55.7%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower product

25

development and research expenses on funded projects. The $3.3 million gross expense in the current quarter was partially offset by $1.3 million of funding from cost sharing agreements. Effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, funding from cost sharing agreements is recorded net with product development and research expenses.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $11.6 million, an increase of $3.8 million or 48.1%, compared to the same period in 2009. The change is primarily related to a decrease in our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable by $2.5 million in 2009.

     During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred restructuring charges to better align operating expenses with near-term revenue expectations. The $0.6 million of charges were primarily for employee severance. See Note 11 “Restructuring Charges” to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

     Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $3.1 million, a decrease of $0.3 million or 10.1%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease in total revenues was primarily due to a decrease in sales of nickel hydroxide materials.

     Combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and research expenses were $0.8 million, a decrease of $0.3 million or 30.6%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was due to reduced research and development expenses resulting from the completion of certain product development contracts.

Corporate and Other

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of corporate operations, including human resources, legal, finance, strategy, information technology, business development, and corporate governance, were $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of

26

$2.6 million or 31.7%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to costs related to the acquisition of SIT and the divestiture of our minority interest in Cobasys in the prior period.

Other Income (Expense)

     Other expense was $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $4.7 million in the same period in 2009. The $0.6 million increase was principally due to decreased interest expense and foreign currency transaction losses.

Income Taxes

     Income tax expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $0.9 million income tax benefit in the same period in 2009. The increase in income taxes primarily relates to a $1.1 million benefit for certain refundable research and development tax credits recorded by the Company during September 2009 that were not available in the current period. The Internal Revenue Service has not extended the election under IRC Section 168(k)(4) to monetize these credits as of September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our principal sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We believe that cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for our current operations. At September 30, 2010, we had consolidated net working capital of $267.5 million, including $194.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments consisting of Floating Rate Corporate Notes (“FRNs”), corporate notes, and U.S. Government agency notes.

Cash Flows

     Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities increased $45.1 million to $19.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $(25.9) million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was driven by $52.3 million of favorable changes in net working capital, specifically due to inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable offset by $7.2 million of our net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items.

     Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities decreased $57.2 million to $(27.6) million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $29.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was principally due to increased purchases of investments of $45.5 million, development loans of $3.3 million, offset by reduced proceeds from maturities and sales of our investments of $10.4 million.

     Net cash used in financing activities decreased $5.5 million to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was principally due to the $5.7 million repayment of the revolving credit facility made in the prior year.

Short-term Borrowings

     During September 2010, we terminated our $30.0 million and $25.0 million secured revolving credit facilities entered into in February 2008 with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The security provided under the secured revolving credit facility has been released. The secured revolving credit facility was replaced

27

with a Letter of Credit Facility, also with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. Under the Letter of Credit Facility, we may issue up to $25.0 million in letters of credit, which will be secured by cash equal to 102% of the letters of credit exposure. The Letter of Credit Facility matures on February 4, 2013. Letters of credit totaling approximately $8.6 million as of September 30, 2010 were transferred from the cancelled secured revolving credit facility to the new Letter of Credit Facility.

Convertible Senior Notes

     Our Convertible Senior Notes (“Notes”) bear interest at a rate of 3.0% per year, payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. If the Notes are not converted, they will mature on June 15, 2013. The Notes are only convertible prior to March 13, 2013 under specific circumstances involving the price of our common stock, the price of the Notes and certain corporate transactions including, but not limited to, an offering of common stock at a price less than market, a distribution of cash or other assets to stockholders, a merger, consolidation or other share exchange, or a change in control. The holders of the Notes may convert the principal amount of their notes into cash and, if applicable, shares of our common stock initially at a conversion rate of 10.8932 shares (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $91.80 per share) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. The holders of the Notes are only entitled to amounts in excess of the principal amount if shares of our common stock exceed a market price of $91.80 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days during the applicable cash settlement averaging period. The applicable conversion rate will be subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of ECD and rank equal in right of payment with any future senior unsecured debt of ECD, and senior in right of payment to all of ECD’s existing and future debt, if any, that is subordinated to the Notes.

     In September 2010, we entered into exchange agreements with certain holders of our Notes whereby we issued an aggregate of 1,309,263 shares of common stock in exchange for an aggregate principal amount of $9.1 million of the Notes. In connection with this exchange we recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $1.2 million. During fiscal year 2011 we expect to pursue additional debt-for-equity exchanges and other transactions to reduce the outstanding principal of our Notes prior to their maturity.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

     Our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. In addition, new accounting policies adopted during the period are disclosed in Note 1 “Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

29

Item 3:Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     The following discussion about our exposure to market risk of financial instruments contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those described.

Interest Rate Risk

     Our investments in financial instruments are comprised of debt securities. All such instruments are classified as securities available-for-sale. We do not invest in portfolio equity securities, or commodities, or use financial derivatives for trading purposes. Our debt security portfolio (corporate notes, commercial paper and U.S. Government agency notes) represents funds held temporarily, pending use in our business and operations. We had $125.4 million of these investments as of September 30, 2010. It is our policy that investments shall be rated “A” or higher by Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s, no single investment (excluding cash equivalents) shall represent more than 10% of the portfolio and at least 10% of the total portfolio shall have maturities of 90 days or less. Our market risk primarily relates to the risks of changes in the credit quality of issuers. An interest rate increase or decrease of 1% would increase or decrease the value of our portfolio by approximately $1.2 million as of September 30, 2010.

Foreign Exchange Risk

     We primarily conduct our business in U.S. Dollars, which may impact our foreign customers and suppliers as a result of changes in currency exchange rates. These factors may adversely impact our existing or future sales agreements and require us to reallocate product shipments or pursue other remedies.

     The majority of SIT’s sales in Europe are denominated in Euros while the related costs of sales are denominated in Euros and U.S. Dollars. For the three month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase or a decrease in exchange rates of 1% would increase or decrease our foreign currency transaction gain by approximately $0.4 million.

     We recognized a net foreign currency transaction loss of an insignificant amount for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and a gain of $0.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009.

Item 4:Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of management, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon this evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Remediation of Prior Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

     Our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 disclosed that we had identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relating to inventory accounting. A “material weakness” is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual

30

or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K related to the fact that the control that ensures the accuracy of adjustments to value inventory at actual cost in the financial statements did not operate effectively.

     We have been actively engaged during the quarter developing and implementing remediation efforts to address the material weakness in controls described above. In connection with these efforts, we have simplified the accounting for standard costs and cost variances by increasing automation of the calculation. In addition, we have enhanced our review procedures by performing additional steps evaluating the overall reasonableness of the valuation adjustment.

     Based upon these significant actions taken, as well as the testing and evaluation of the effectiveness of this enhanced control, we have concluded the material weakness relating to inventory accounting disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 has been remediated as of September 30, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     The only changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting are described above under the heading “Remediation of Prior Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.”
