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, 2009, 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 February 9, 2010, which is the date the Company’s financial statements were issued. No material subsequent events have occurred since December 31, 2009 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Capitalized Interest
     Interest is capitalized during active construction periods of equipment. During the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred total interest costs of $6.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of which $0.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, were capitalized. During the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred total interest costs of $14.0 million and $13.4 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million and $5.8 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, 2009 and have not changed materially as of the date of this Report with the exception of the following:
     In connection with the SIT acquisition on August 19, 2009, the following accounting policies were adopted by the Company.
Revenue Recognition — Installed Solar Systems and Traditional Roofing
     The Company accounts for installed solar systems and traditional roofing projects using the percentage of completion method. Under this method, revenue arising from installed solar systems and traditional roofing projects is recognized as work is performed based on the percentage of incurred costs to estimated total forecasted costs at completion utilizing the most recent estimates of forecasted costs. The Company records a receivable for costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and a liability for billings in excess of costs incurred.
     For smaller projects of shorter durations, generally three months or less, the Company records revenue under the completed contract method when the project is complete.
Restricted Cash
     As part of the SIT acquisition, the Company acquired restricted cash. In connection with the structured financing arrangement with GE Commercial Finance Energy Financial Services (“GE EFS”), a business unit of General Electric Capital Corporation, SIT was required to deposit a portion of the proceeds from the borrowings with GE EFS. If necessary, GE EFS may use such amount to offset any shortfall in payments required from SIT under the structured finance arrangement. In addition, payments received from customers under sales-type lease agreements are deposited directly into a restricted bank account. Amounts deposited in the restricted bank account are used to fund the debt owed under the structured finance arrangements with GE EFS. Upon termination of the structured finance arrangement any remaining amounts in the restricted cash account will be transferred to the Company.
Warranty Reserve — Installed Solar Systems
     The Company generally provides a 20-year roof membrane warranty, a 20-year power warranty and a 10-year warranty on inverters. In addition, the Company generally provides a 20-year product warranty on its building integrated photovoltaic (“BIPV”) product. Reserves for warranty costs are recognized at

the date of sale of the relevant products, at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the liability, taking into account the specific arrangements of the transaction and past experience.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) amended 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 (effective July 1, 2010 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASC 810 and has not yet determined the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-15, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing” (“ASU 2009-15”), which 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. ASU 2009-15 is effective for all arrangements outstanding as of the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2009, (effective July 1, 2010 for the Company) and retrospective application is required for all periods presented. In addition, ASU 2009-15 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 Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2009-15 and has not yet determined the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
     In October 2009, the FASB issued 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 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 (effective July 1, 2010 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2009-13 and has not yet determined the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
     In October 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB issued ASU 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) — Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (“ASU 2009-05”). The update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liabilities is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: (1) a valuation technique that uses (a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or (b) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (2) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820. The amendments in this update also clarify that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustment to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance of the ASU. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     On July 1, 2009 the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 323, “Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures” (“ASC 323”). ASC 323 clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. ASC 323 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of ASC 323 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     On July 1, 2009 the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Subtopic 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40), which provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock and thus meets one of the scope exceptions for derivative accounting under FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The determination is a two step process which requires the evaluation of the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and the instrument’s settlement provisions. ASC 815-40 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 815-40 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     On July 1, 2009 the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”), which clarified that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforteitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied. ASC 260 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 (effective July 1, 2009 for the Company). The adoption of ASC 260 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     On July 1, 2009 the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” (“ASC 805”) which retains the fundamental requirements in that the acquisition method of accounting (which previously was called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. ASC 805 requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at the acquisition

date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. ASC 805 retains the guidance for identifying and recognizing intangible assets separately from goodwill and applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company applied the provisions of ASC 805 when it acquired SIT on August 19, 2009.
     On July 1, 2009 the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 808, “Collaborative Arrangements,” (“ASC 808”) which defines a collaborative arrangement as a contractual arrangement in which the parties are active participants in the arrangement and are exposed to significant risks and rewards that are dependent on the ultimate commercial success of the endeavor. Whether an arrangement is a collaborative arrangement would be determined at the inception of the arrangement and would be reconsidered when facts and circumstances indicate a change in either a participant’s role in the arrangement or its exposure to significant risks and rewards. Participants in a collaborative arrangement would be required to make certain disclosures in their annual financial statements about the nature and purpose of the arrangement and amounts reported in the income statement. ASC 808 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 808 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation,” (“ASC 810”) specifically related to the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary which establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. ASC 810 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. The provisions of ASC 810 are prospective upon adoption, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented.
     On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC Subtopic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (“ASC 470-20”), which requires issuers of convertible debt securities within its scope to recognize both the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments with cash settlement features. The debt component is required to be recognized at the fair value of a similar instrument that does not have an associated equity component. The equity component is recognized as the difference between the proceeds from issuance of the convertible debt and the fair value of the liability, after adjusting for the deferred tax impact. ASC 470-20 also requires an accretion of the resulting debt discount over the expected life of the convertible debt. ASC 470-20 is required to be applied retrospectively to prior periods, and accordingly, financial statements for the prior periods have been adjusted to reflect its adoption.

     Basic earnings (loss) per common share attributable to ECD shareholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to ECD shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to ECD shareholders 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 income (loss) attributable to ECD shareholders.

     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 underwriter provided the Company collateral equal to the par value of the common stock. 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 December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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.
     The following securities would have had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share and are therefore excluded from the computations above.

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 Statement of Operations. The Company incurred $3.0 million of acquisition-related costs during the six month period ended December 31, 2009 which are included in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

     The corporate bonds and U.S. government securities are classified as “available-for-sale.” Due to the bankruptcy proceedings of Lehman Brothers and the decline in the market for their bonds, the Company recorded the decline in fair value as an other-than-temporary impairment, included in “Other nonoperating income (expense), net” in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six month period ended December 31, 2008.
     Auction Rate Certificates (“ARCs”) represent securities with fixed maturity dates the interest rates of which reset monthly. The Company’s ARCs are Student Loan Asset-Backed Securities guaranteed by the Federal Family Education Loan Program. The payments of principal and interest on these student loans are guaranteed by the state or not-for-profit-guaranty agency and the U.S. Department of Education. At the time of the Company’s initial investment and through the date of this filing, all of the Company’s ARCs are rated as AAA.
     The default interest rate on the ARCs, which applies in the absence of an active market for the ARCs, is the lesser of (1) the trailing twelve-month average of the 91 day U.S. Treasury bill rate plus 120 basis points, or (2) the trailing twelve-month average interest rate of the ARCs. The weighted average interest rate on the ARCs was 1.7% at December 31, 2009.
     The ARCs mature at various dates between December 2033 and December 2045. The ARCs bear interest at rates determined every 28 or 35 days through an auction process, in which the applicable rate is set at the lowest rate submitted in the auction, or, in the absence of an active market for the ARCs, the default rate discussed above. Interest rates on the ARCs are capped between 12% and 18%.
     At December 31, 2009, the Company has valued these securities using a pricing model which is not a market model, but which does reflect some discount due to the current lack of liquidity of the investments as a result of recently failed auctions (see Note 13 — Fair Value Measurements for a description of the model). This valuation resulted in an unrealized loss of $4.1 million at both periods ending December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009.
     In October 2008, the Company agreed to an offer from UBS AG (“UBS”) to sell at par value, at anytime from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012, the ARCs purchased from UBS (which represents the Company’s entire portfolio of ARCs). These Auction Rate Securities Rights (“ARSRs”), which are akin to a freestanding put option, are non-transferable and are not traded on any exchange. The Company has valued the ARSRs using a present value model (see Note 13 — Fair Value Measurements for a description of the model). Using this model, the Company has determined the fair value of the ARSRs to be $4.0 million at December 31, 2009.

     The ARSRs also grants UBS the right to purchase the Company’s ARCs at par value at anytime without notice. As a result, the Company has classified the entire portfolio of ARCs as “trading securities” in short-term investments based upon its intention to exercise its right to sell the ARCs to UBS.
Note 6 - Sales-Type Lease Receivables
     In conjunction with the SIT acquisition, the Company acquired sales-type lease receivables. In 2005 and 2006 SIT entered into Energy Services Agreements (“ESAs”) whereby customers agreed to pay SIT, on a monthly basis over a 20-year period, for the electricity generated from the BIPV roofing systems installed on their buildings. The customers pay for the energy produced by solar systems at a rate specified in each contract. SIT recorded a lease receivable to reflect the future stream of energy services payments from customers over the 20-year period.
     Sales-type lease receivables consisted of the following:
         
    December 31, 2009  
    (in thousands)  
Total minimum lease payments receivable
  $ 18,480  
Less: Unearned income

     Executory costs included in total minimum lease payments were not significant. In addition, no value was assigned to the estimated residual value of the leased equipment due to the 20-year lease term. Future minimum receivables under all noncancelable sales-type leases as of December 31, 2009 are as follows:

Note 9 - Long-Term Debt
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.
     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.
     The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 470-20 on July 1, 2009, with retrospective application to prior periods. (See Note 1 — Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information). The Company estimated that the effective interest rate at the time of the offering for similar debt without the conversion feature was 9.9%. The effective interest rate for both the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 10.4%. At December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the carrying amount of the conversion option recorded in stockholders’ equity for both periods was $81.9 million.

Structured Financing
     In conjunction with the SIT acquisition, the Company assumed a structured financing liability. In April 2005, SIT, through a subsidiary, entered into a Master Purchase and Lease Agreement and related agreements with a subsidiary of GE EFS, a unit of General Electric Capital Corporation, to provide structured financing for the installation of its BIPV projects on certain buildings owned by certain qualified customers. The structured financing liability has a 20-year term and bears interest at varying rates from 0.6% to 3.1%, with quarterly principal and interest payments.
Convertible Notes
     In conjunction with the SIT acquisition, the Company assumed SIT’s outstanding 6.5% convertible notes due November 1, 2010. The principal balance of $8.0 million was subsequently repaid in October 2009.
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 implemented an organizational restructuring in conjunction with the SIT acquisition in August 2009 and consolidated certain departmental functions within the organization. In December 2009 the Company incurred additional restructuring charges to better align operating expenses with near-term revenue expectations. The Company estimates that it will incur total restructuring costs of $5.2 million, which includes employee severance costs of $3.7 million and exit costs of $1.5 million. The restructuring is expected to be completed in fiscal year 2010. The Company incurred $3.1 million of restructuring charges during the six month period ended December 31, 2009, of which $2.9 million related to employee severance and $0.2 million related to equipment relocation costs. The restructuring charges are included in the United Solar Ovonic segment. In connection with the restructuring activities the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1.3 million of which $1.1 million related to equipment and $0.2 million related to intangible assets which will no longer be utilized.

Note 12 — Share-Based Compensation
     The Company records the fair value of stock-based compensation grants as an expense. Total share-based compensation expense for the three month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $1.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Total share-based compensation expense for the six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $2.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
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.

Restricted Stock Awards
     Restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) consist of shares of common stock the Company issued at a price of $0. 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.

     As of December 31, 2009, there was $0.6 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 1.6 years.
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 December 31, 2009, 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 Company’s convertible senior notes was estimated at $202.4 million as of December 31, 2009 using level 1 inputs.
     As described in Note 5 “Investments,” the Company’s investments in ARCs are not valued using a market model due to the recent absence of auctions. Each ARC was valued using a discounted cash flow analysis because there is presently no active market for the ARCs from which to determine value. The valuation analyses utilized discount rates based on the reported rates for comparable securities (i.e., similar student loan portfolios and holding periods) in active markets, plus a factor for the present market illiquidity associated with the ARCs. The reported rate for a comparable security was the sum of (1) the base rate that is used in the reporting of that security, in this case the three month LIBOR, and (2) the interest rate spread above the base rate, as reported from the active markets for that security. The illiquidity factor was established based on the credit quality of the ARC determined by the percentage of the underlying loans guaranteed by the Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”). The resulting discount rates used in the valuation analyses ranged from 2.5% to 5.9% based on the ARCs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     Since the ARSRs are non-transferable and not traded on any exchange, the Company has elected to measure them using the fair value option. The ARSRs represents a guarantee of the par value of the ARCs, and the Company has valued the ARSRs using a present value model. In valuing the ARSRs, the Company calculated the present value of the difference between the par value of the ARCs and the current fair value of the ARCs. The present value model utilized a discount rate of 2.2%, which is a combination of the credit default swap rate risk of UBS at 1.2% and the rate on a U.S. Treasury interest rate swap of 0.7%. The sum of those rates was increased by an additional 10.0% to account for any potential liquidity risk should UBS not be able to fulfill its obligation under the ARSR agreement. The ARSRs are included in “Short-term investments” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. (See Note 5 — “Investments” for additional information).

Note 14 — Income Taxes
     The net tax benefit of $1.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 primarily relates to the Company’s U.S. operations which recorded certain federal refundable research and development tax credits and deferred tax assets relating to the current year net operating loss, which will be carried back to claim a refund of previously paid taxes totaling $1.1 million during the three month period ended December 31, 2009.
     At December 31, 2009, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $1.1 million resulting from the release of valuation allowance on the realizable portion of its net deferred tax assets and a deferred tax liability of $0.4 million relating to indefinite-lived intangible assets resulting from the Company’s acquisition of SIT. This deferred tax liability cannot be offset by the Company’s tax assets with definite or finite reversal or carryforward periods.
     Included within the Company’s net operating losses (“NOLs”) of $396.6 million, are acquired NOLs of approximately $61.2 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 $163.0 million (consisting primarily of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards which expire in various amounts between the current year and 2028, and basis differences in intangible assets). Based on the Company’s operating results for the preceding years, it was determined that it was more than likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized.
Note 15 — Tax Benefits Preservation Plan
     On September 30, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a tax benefits preservation plan to preserve its ability to fully use certain tax assets, including its substantial net operating loss carryforwards, which could be substantially limited if the Company experiences an “ownership change,” as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As part of the plan, on September 30, 2009, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one common stock purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock held of record as of the close of business on October 15, 2009. Shares of common stock issued after that date also will receive Rights.
     The Rights will be triggered if any person or group (subject to certain exceptions specified in the tax benefits preservation plan) acquires 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, thereby becoming an “Acquiring Person” for purposes of the tax benefits preservation plan. If triggered, each Right entitles the holder (other than the Acquiring Person or any transferee of shares of the Company’s stock held by the Acquiring Person) to purchase shares of common stock at a 50 percent discount to the then market price of the Company’s common stock, and the Rights owned by the Acquiring Person (or any transferee of the Acquiring Person) become void. Alternatively, if the Rights are triggered, the Company’s Board of Directors may decide to exchange all or part of the exercised Rights (other than those held by the Acquiring Person or any transferee of the Acquiring Person) for shares of common stock.

     The Company’s Board of Directors has the discretion to exempt any acquisition of common stock from the provisions of the tax benefits preservation plan. The plan may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any time prior to the share purchase rights being triggered. Further, unlike a traditional shareholder rights plan that typically endures for ten years, the tax benefits preservation plan will expire prior to the end of its ten-year term if the Board of Directors determines that the tax benefits preservation plan is no longer needed to preserve the Company’s ability to fully use its tax benefits due to the repeal of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, or that it cannot carry forward any more of its tax benefits.
Note 16 — Business Segments
     The Company has two operating segments, United Solar Ovonic and Ovonic Materials. The Company includes the newly-acquired SIT business 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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 and six-month periods ended December 31, 2009. 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, 2009 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 Solar Integrated Technologies, Inc. (“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 manufacturing and selling our PV products to a Company that provides complete solar solutions, project implementation and value-added services. Our newly-acquired SIT business is included in our United Solar Ovonic segment. See “Item 1A: Risk Factors,” for additional information.
     We believe that there remains strong interest in alternative energy in general and solar in particular, but existing global financial constraints are impacting the funding of solar projects that otherwise have strong strategic rationale and/or financial returns. We are expanding our business model to facilitate solar projects utilizing our solar laminates. Under our traditional business model in which we would sell our products to building materials companies, we would enter into long-term supply agreements, some of which were “take-or-pay” agreements (that require the customer to purchase a specified minimum amount of our products) with our customers. Our backlog of anticipated product sales for fiscal years 2010 through 2016, which primarily reflected this business model, was approximately $1.6 billion at June 30, 2009, and $750 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to our acquisition of SIT, which accounted for approximately $500 million of the June 30, 2009 backlog, together with product sales during the six-month period ended December 31, 2009, and certain contract renegotiations, including conversion of certain take-or-pay agreements to supply contracts, some of which do not have firm annual purchase obligations, as we work with our customers to preserve relationships and maximize long-term value. The Company’s estimate of anticipated product sales may be impacted by various assumptions, including anticipated price reductions, currency exchange rates, and overall customer demand. Anticipated product sales include future firm commitments under take-or-pay agreements, confirmed orders from customers and government contracts.
     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 implemented actions, including temporary production hiatuses and a consolidation of certain departmental functions within the organization, to lower our overall costs. We have incurred restructuring expenses 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

30


Table of Contents

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 productive capacity. Furthermore, continued declines in our operating results due to a further or prolonged deterioration of market conditions could result in the recognition of asset and/or goodwill impairment losses in the future.
Key Indicators of Financial Condition and Operating Performance
     In evaluating our business, we use product 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”) per annum, 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.

     Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $49.0 million, a decrease of $50.7 million or 51%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in total revenues was due to $50.4 million decrease in sales volume and a $12.1 million decline in pricing. This decrease is offset by incremental revenues of $11.8 million associated with our newly-ac quired SIT business.
     Cost of product and project sales for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $57.6 million, a decrease of $5.5 million or 9%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to reduced sales volume which resulted in $25.9 million in reduced costs and $2.2 million in reduced warranty costs, offset by unabsorbed overhead costs of $6.7 million as a result of reduced production volume and $0.5 million in additional inventory reserves. In addition, there were incremental costs of

31


Table of Contents

$15.4 million attributable to sales in our newly-acquired SIT business which included the write-off of certain inventory of $2.5 million and $0.7 million in unabsorbed overhead costs.
     The combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and research expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $4.4 million, an increase of $1.4 million or 45%, compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to $1.2 million increase in product development and research expenses for our PowerTilt and PowerBond products. The additional increase of $0.2 million was due to increased research and development activities funded by the U.S. Air Force and the Department of Energy’s Solar America Initiative.
     Preproduction costs (consisting of new employee training, facilities preparation, set-up materials and supplies) decreased substantially for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, primarily because we paused the expansion of our Michigan and Mexico facilities.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $11.4 million, an increase of $1.9 million or 20%, compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to incremental costs of $3.7 million associated with the newly-acquired SIT business and increased marketing and support services of $0.7 million, offset by reduced incentive costs of $1.2 million and a reduction of the allowance for uncollectible accounts reserve of $1.3 million.
     The loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $0.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million, compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to disposals of equipment at our Greenville and Auburn Hills, Michigan facilities.
     During the three months ended December 31, 2009, we incurred impairment losses of $1.3 million related to the December 2009 restructuring plan, of which $1.1 million was related to equipment and $0.2 million related to intangible assets which will no longer be utilized.
     During the three months ended December 31, 2009, we incurred restructuring charges to better align operating expenses with near-term revenue expectations. The $2.4 million of charges were for employee severance. See Note 11 — Restructuring Charges for additional information.

     Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $3.9 million, an increase of $0.4 million or 13%, compared to the same period in 2008. The increase in total revenues was primarily due to increased vehicle nickel metal hydride battery royalties of $0.7 million and increased sales of nickel hydroxide of $0.2 million. These increases were partially offset by decreased revenues for product development agreements of $0.3 million, due to an increased proportion of cost-share programs versus full-cost reimbursement programs, and decreased license and other revenues of $0.2 million, due to a one-time nickel metal hydride battery license fee received in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.
     Cost of product sales for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $0.8 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 31%, compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of nickel hydroxide resulting from increased demand from our main nickel hydroxide customer.
     Combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and research expenses were $1.1 million, a decrease of $0.1 million or 10%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was due to reduced research and development expenses.
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 $5.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $2.0 million or 26%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to reduced incentive costs of $1.4 million and other cost reductions of $0.6 million.
Other Income (Expense)
     Other expense was $7.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $2.6 million in the same period in 2008. The $5.0 million increase was principally due to reduced interest

income of $1.2 million due to lower levels of investments in the period, increased interest expense of $2.8 million which is related to a reduced level of capitalized interest, and incremental foreign currency transaction losses of $0.8 million associated with our newly-acquired SIT business.
Income Taxes
     Income tax benefit was $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $0.2 million income tax expense in the same period in 2008. The decrease in income taxes relates to the benefit of the current year net operating loss which will be carried back to claim a refund of previously paid taxes under the current tax law.

     Total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were $88.5 million, a decrease of $103.0 million or 54%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in total revenues was due to a $99.1 million decrease in product sales and a $19.5 million decrease in pricing, offset by incremental revenues from our newly-acquired SIT business of $15.6 million.
     Cost of product and project sales for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $84.9 million, a decrease of $37.8 million or 31%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to reduced sales volume of $58.4 million, $4.8 million reduced costs of manufacturing due to improved efficiencies and $1.4 million of reduced warranty costs, offset by unabsorbed overhead costs of $7.4 million as a result of reduced production volume. In addition, there were incremental costs of $19.6 million of costs attributable to sales in our newly-acquired SIT business which included the write-off of certain inventory of $2.5 million and $1.0 million in unabsorbed overhead costs.

     The combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and research expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $8.8 million, an increase of $3.2 million or 58%, compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to a $1.7 million in product development and research expenses for our new PowerTilt and PowerBond products. The additional increase of $1.5 million was due to increased research and development activities funded by the U.S. Air Force and the Department of Energy’s Solar America Initiative.
     Preproduction costs (consisting of new employee training, facilities preparation, set-up materials and supplies) decreased substantially for the six months ended December 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, primarily because we paused the expansion of our Michigan and Mexico facilities.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were $19.3 million, an increase of $3.1 million or 20%, compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to additional expenses from the newly-acquired SIT business of $6.4 million and $0.5 million in overall savings from ongoing cost cutting initiatives, offset by the reduction of the allowance for uncollectible accounts reserve of $3.8 million.
     The loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $1.3 million, an increase of $1.0 million, compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to disposals of equipment at our Greenville and Auburn Hills, Michigan facilities, and disposal of equipment as part of the upgrade to our deposition process in our Auburn Hills 1 facility.
     During the six months ended December 31, 2009, we incurred impairment losses of $1.3 million related to the December 2009 restructuring plan, of which $1.1 million was related to equipment and $0.2 million related to intangible assets which will no longer be utilized.
     During the six months ended December 31, 2009, we incurred restructuring charges related to the severance of certain employees of $2.8 million and $0.2 million for equipment relocation costs associated with the consolidation of certain production operations from our Auburn Hills 1 facility. See Note 11 – Restructuring Charges for additional information.

     Total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were $7.3 million and were comparable to total revenues for the same period in 2008. Royalty revenues increased by $1.3 million, primarily due to increased royalties for vehicle nickel metal hydride batteries. This increase was offset by decreased product sales of $0.5 million, decreased revenues from product development agreements of $0.7 million, and decreased license and other revenues of $0.2 million. Decreased product sales were due to decreased sales of nickel hydroxide to our main nickel hydroxide customer. Decreased revenues from product development agreements were due to an increased proportion of cost-share development agreements versus full-cost reimbursement programs. Decreased license fee and other revenue resulted from a nickel metal hydride battery license fee that was received in 2008 but was not recurring.
     Cost of product sales for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $1.3 million, a decrease of $0.7 million or 36%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales of nickel hydroxide to our main nickel hydroxide customer and increased margin on sales of nickel hydroxide.
     Combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and research expenses were $2.3 million, a decrease of $0.8 million or 27%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was due to reduced research and development expenses.
     Cost of selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were $0.5 million, a decrease of $0.2 million or 29%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to decreased outside consulting services.
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 $13.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $0.9 million or 7%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in selling, general and

36


Table of Contents

administrative expenses was primarily due to severance costs of $1.4 million in 2008, partially offset by other costs of $0.5 million in 2009.
Other Income (Expense)
     Other expense was $12.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $4.5 million in the same period in 2008. The $7.5 million increase was principally due to reduced interest income of $3.5 million due to lower levels of investments in the period, increased interest expense of $6.2 million which is related to the reduced level of capitalized interest, offset by a $1.3 million distribution from our previously owned Cobasys joint venture and an other-than-temporary impairment of $1.0 million for our Lehman Bonds in 2008.
Income Taxes
     Income tax benefit was $1.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $0.3 million income tax expense in the same period in 2008. The decrease in tax expense is primarily related to certain federal refundable research expenses and the benefit of the current year net operating loss which will be carried back to claim a refund of previously paid taxes under the current tax law.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Our principal sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and borrowings available under our credit facility. We believe that cash, cash equivalents and investments and borrowings under our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for our current operations. At December 31, 2009, we had consolidated net working capital of $341.0 million.
     As of December 31, 2009, we had $205.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments consisting of Floating Rate Corporate Notes (“FRNs”), corporate notes, U.S. Government agency notes, auction rate certificates (“ARCs”), and auction rate securities rights. The investments have maturities up to 12 months, except for the ARCs which have maturities from 24 to 36 years. Presently, there is an absence of auctions for ARCs. As a result, these investments are not currently liquid. In October 2008, we agreed to an offer from UBS AG (“UBS”) to sell at par value, at anytime from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012, the ARCs purchased from UBS (which represent the entire portfolio of our ARCs). These auction rate securities rights (“ARSRs”), which are akin to a freestanding put option, are non-transferable and are not traded on any exchange. We currently classify the ARCs as short-term investments based upon management’s intention to exercise its right to sell the ARCs to UBS.
     Our valuations of ARCs and ARSRs are based on unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and therefore require us to develop our own assumptions. For additional information about our judgments and assumptions underlying our fair value measurements and details about the methodology and inputs used see Note 13 “Fair Value Measurements” to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and information about the sensitivity of our measurements in Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
Cash Flows
     Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities decreased $97.3 million to $(60.1) million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 from $37.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was driven by a reduction in our net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items of $76.0

million and by $21.3 million additional cash used for changes in net working capital, specifically due to increased inventory levels offset by reductions in accounts receivable and accounts payable.
     Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities increased $209.7 million to $109.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 from $(100.5) million for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This increase was principally due to reduced capital expenditures of $84.5 million and increased proceeds from maturities and sales of our investments of $127.3 million.
     Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities decreased $15.5 million to $(14.4) million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 from $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was principally due to the $5.7 million repayment of the revolving credit facility and $8.0 million repayment of the convertible notes assumed by the Company as part of the SIT acquisition.
Short-term Borrowings
     We maintain a $30.0 million revolving line of credit to finance domestic activities and a separate $25.0 million revolving line of credit provided under the United States Export-Import Bank’s fast track working capital guarantee program to finance foreign activities. Availability of financing under the lines of credit will be determined by reference to a borrowing base comprised of domestic and foreign inventory and receivables, respectively. At December 31, 2009 there was $16.5 million of available financing under the agreement based on the borrowing formula. There were no outstanding borrowings on the line of credit. The credit facilities also contain an aggregate $10.0 million sub-limit for standby letters of credit and there were approximately $4.2 million of standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2009.
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 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. 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.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
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 represents funds held temporarily, pending use in our business and operations. The Company had $146.9 million of these investments as of December 31, 2009. It is the Company’s policy that investments (including cash equivalents) 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 $0.1 million as of December 31, 2009.
     The Company’s investments in ARCs are Student Loan Asset-Backed Securities guaranteed by the Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”). The payments of principal and interest on these student loans are guaranteed by the state or not-for-profit-guaranty agency and the U.S. Department of Education. At the time of our initial investment and through the date of this filing, all of our ARCs are rated as AAA. The ARCs mature at various dates between December 2033 and December 2045. The ARCs bear interest at rates determined every 28 or 35 days through an auction process.
     Presently, there is an absence of auctions for ARCs. As a result, these investments are not currently liquid. These funds will not be accessible until a successful auction occurs, the issuer redeems the ARC, a

buyer is found outside the auction process or the securities mature. In October 2008, the Company agreed to an offer from UBS AG (“UBS”) to sell at par value, at anytime from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012, the ARCs purchased from UBS (which represent the entire portfolio of our ARCs). These ARSRs, which are akin to a freestanding put option, are non-transferable and are not traded on any exchange. The Company classifies the ARCs as short-term investments based upon its intention to exercise its right to sell the ARCs to UBS.
     Our investments in ARCs are not valued using a market model due to the recent absence of auctions. The valuation analyses utilized discount rates based on the reported rates for comparable securities (i.e., similar student loan portfolios and holding periods) in active markets, plus a factor for the present market illiquidity associated with the ARCs. The reported rate for a comparable security was the sum of (1) the base rate that is used in the reporting of that security, in this case the three month LIBOR, and (2) the interest rate spread above the base rate, as reported from the active markets for that security. The illiquidity factor was established based on the credit quality of the ARC determined by the percentage of the underlying loans guaranteed by FFELP. The resulting discount rates used in the valuation analyses ranged from 2.5% to 5.9% based on the ARC. At December 31, 2009, we held $29.9 million of ARCs and have included them in short term investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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 U.S. Dollars. For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, an increase or a decrease in exchange rates of 1% would increase or decrease our foreign currency transaction gain by approximately $0.2 million.
     We recognized a foreign currency transaction loss of $0.8 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 and $0.1 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2008. We recognized a foreign currency transaction loss of $0.1 million for both of the six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
     There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1:   Legal Proceedings
     We are involved in 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, we do not believe that any of these other legal proceedings or matters in which we are currently involved, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A:   Risk Factors
     There were no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in “Item 1A: Risk Factors,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009, except for the following:
We have recorded a significant amount of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, which may become impaired in the future.
     As a result of our acquisition of SIT in August 2009, we recorded approximately $35.4 million of goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of the business acquired, and approximately $2.8 million of other identifiable intangible assets, including customer contracts, proprietary processes and order backlog. Impairment of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets may result from, among other things, deterioration in our performance, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations, including changes that restrict the activities of or affect the products sold by our business, and a variety of other factors. In the event that we determine our goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, we may be required to record an impairment loss that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
