     Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates
          Interim Reporting. While the information presented in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements is unaudited, it includes all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the September 30, 2007 audited annual consolidated financial statements of Ecology Coatings, Inc. (“we”, “us”, the “Company” or “Ecology”). It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s September 30, 2007 annual consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2007.
Operating results for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended September 30, 2008.
     Going Concern. In connection with their audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2007, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As such, continuance is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise sufficient capital. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
     Description of the Company. We were originally incorporated in Nevada on February 6, 2002 as OCIS Corp. (“OCIS”). OCIS completed a merger with Ecology Coatings, Inc. a California corporation (“Ecology-CA”) on July 26, 2007 (the “Merger”). In the Merger, OCIS changed its name from OCIS Corporation to Ecology Coatings, Inc. We develop nanotechnology-enabled, ultra-violet curable coatings that are designed to drive efficiencies and clean processes in manufacturing. We create proprietary coatings with unique performance and environmental attributes by leveraging our platform of integrated nano-material technologies that reduce overall energy consumption and offer a marked decrease in drying time. Ecology’s market consists electronics, automotive and trucking, paper products and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).
     Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Ecology-CA. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
     Revenue Recognition. Revenues from licensing contracts are recorded ratably over the life of the contract. Contingency earnings such as royalty fees are recorded when the amount can reasonably be determined and collection is likely.

     Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates (continued)
     Loss Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible debt. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the weighted average number of shares if their effect is antidilutive. The Company had a net loss for all periods presented herein; therefore, none of the stock options outstanding or stock associated with the convertible debt during each of the periods presented were included in the computation of diluted loss per share as they were antidilutive. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, there were 4,781,210 and 4,427,075 potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
     Income Taxes and Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities as reported for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes and for the future use of net operating losses. We have recorded a valuation allowance against the net deferred income tax asset. The valuation allowance reduces deferred income tax assets to an amount that represents management’s best estimate of the amount of such deferred income tax assets that more likely than not will be realized. The Company cannot be assured of future income to realize the net deferred income tax asset; therefore, no deferred income tax asset has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
         
Computer equipment
  3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures
  3-7 years
Test equipment
  5-7 years
Software Computer
  3 years
Marketing and Promotional Video
  3 years
Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized as incurred.
The Company reviews long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Patents. It is the Company’s policy to capitalize costs associated with securing a patent. Costs consist of legal and filing fees. Once a patent is issued, it will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. Five patents were issued as of June 30, 2008 and are being amortized over 8 years.
Stock-Based Compensation. Our stock option plans are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Number 123(R), Share-Based Payment . Under the provisions of SFAS Number 123(R), employee and director stock-based compensation expense is measured utilizing the fair-value method.
The Company accounts for stock options granted to non-employees under SFAS Number 123(R) using EITF 96-18, requiring the measurement and recognition of stock-based compensation to consultants under the fair-value method with stock-based compensation expense being charged to earnings on the earlier of the date services are performed or a performance commitment exists.

     Expense Categories. Salaries and Fringe Benefits of $444,920 and $429,638 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively, and $1,519,705 and $828,424 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 respectively, include wages paid to and insurance benefits for officers and employees of the Company as well as stock based compensation expense for those individuals. Professional fees of $758,691 and $843,870 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively, and $2,245,674 and $1,410,799 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively include amounts paid to attorneys, accountants, and consultants, as well as the stock based compensation expense for those services.
     Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which establishes how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under GAAP. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on our financial statements, but we do not expect SFAS 157 to have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
          In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. SFAS 159 will become effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement would have had no impact on the results or financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2008
          In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)) and No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 141(R) will significantly change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 are effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (October 1, 2009 for Ecology). Early adoption is prohibited for both standards. SFAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 160 would have no impact on our financial position or results of operations. Management is in the process of evaluating SFAS 141(R) and determining what effect, if any, it may have on our financial position and results of operations going forward.
               In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. This statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 will become effective for the Company beginning in the three months ending March 31, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement would have had no impact on the results or financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2008.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
          In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of SFAS 163 is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, SFAS 163 does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). SFAS 163 also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 163 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 7 — Stock Options (continued)
Stock Option Plan (continued) 1,420,878 of the options were exercisable as of June 30, 2008. The options are subject to various vesting periods between June 26, 2007 and January 1, 2012. The options expire on various dates between June 1, 2016 and January 1, 2022. Additionally, the options had no intrinsic value as of June 30, 2008. Intrinsic value arises when the exercise price is lower than the trading price on the date of grant.
Our stock option plans are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Number 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation . Under the provisions of SFAS Number 123(R), employee and director stock-based compensation expense is measured utilizing the fair-value method.
The Company accounts for stock options granted to non-employees under SFAS Number 123(R) using EITF 96-18 requiring the measurement and recognition of stock-based compensation to consultants under the fair-value method with stock-based compensation expense being charged to earnings on the earlier of the date services are performed or a performance commitment exists.
In calculating the compensation related to employee/consultants and directors stock option grants, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:
     
Dividend
  None
Expected volatility
  91.69%-101.73%
Risk free interest rate
  2.50%-5.11%
Expected life
  5.5 years
The expected volatility was derived utilizing the price history of another publicly traded nanotechnology company. This company was selected due to the fact that it is widely traded and is in the same equity sector as our Company.
The risk free interest rate figures shown above contain the range of such figures used in the Black-Scholes calculation. The specific rate used was dependent upon the date of option grant.
Based upon the above assumptions and the weighted average $2.11 exercise price, the options outstanding at June 30, 2008 had a total unrecognized compensation cost of $1,130,038 and will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.3 years. Options cost of $1,610,456 was recorded as an expense for the nine months ending June 30, 2008 of which $509,298 was recorded as compensation expense and $1,101,158 was recorded as consulting expense.

Note 8 — Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, we incurred net losses of ($5,552,432) and ($4,560,870), respectively. As of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, we had stockholders’ deficit and equity of ($2,362,107) and $290,287, respectively.
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, to develop commercially viable products and processes, and ultimately to establish profitable operations. We have financed operations through operating revenues and through the issuance of equity securities and debt. Until we are able to generate positive operating cash flows, additional funds will be required to support operations. We believe that current working capital will be sufficient to enable us to continue as a going concern through September 15, 2008 provided certain noteholders and other creditors continue to give us payment extensions. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Please see also Note 9 — Subsequent Events.

Note 9 — Subsequent Events
On July 1, 2008, three notes described in Note 5 as maturing on June 30, 2008, bearing interest at 25% per annum, and having a combined principal balance of $350,000 were in default as to the payment of principal and accrued interest. The Company as not received demand for repayment from any of the holders or any other notice of default with regard to these notes. The Company is in negotiations with the holders for extensions of these notes but there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such extensions or, if obtained, do we know what the cost of such extensions will be.
On July 1, 2008, a note described in Note 5 as maturing on June 30, 2008, bearing interest at 0%, and having a principal balance of $150,000 was in default as to the payment of principal. The note carries a default interest rate of 25% per annum and the Company began accruing the interest as of July 1, 2008. The Company has not received demand for repayment from the holder or any other notice of default with regard to these notes. The Company is in negotiations with the holder for an extension of this note but there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such and extension or, if obtained, do we know what the cost of such an extension will be.
On July 14, 2008, the Company issued a promissory note in favor of its Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer in exchange for his deferral of $3,333 in salary payable to him on July 15, 2008 under his employment agreement dated December 28, 2007. The note bears interest at 25% per annum and matures on August 10, 2008. The Company issued him a warrant to purchase 3,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to $.50 per share. The warrant is exercisable immediately and carries a ten (10) year term. At his option, the Chairman may demand repayment on all or part of the then-outstanding balance upon the completion of the Company’s next offering. He may convert all or part of the then-outstanding note balance into shares of the securities issued by the Company in its next offering at the lower of $.50 or the price of the offering. The note was repaid in full on July 30, 2008.
As previously reported, on March 17, 2008, the Company completed two bridge loan transactions in the total amount of $550,000 with a maturity date of June 30, 2008. On July 14, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the extension of the notes to July 30, 2008 under their terms by issuing 15,000 options to the holders of each of the two notes. The options are exercisable immediately and carry a ten (10) year term. The options may be exercised at a price equal to the lesser of $2.00 or the effective price at which the Company sells shares of its common stock in its next offering. These notes are now in default as to principal and accrued interest, though no request for payment has been received from the holders. The Company is in negotiations with the holders for extensions of these notes but there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such extensions nor, if obtained, do we know what the cost of such extensions will be.
On July 19, 2008, a note described in Note 5 as maturing July 18, 2008, bearing interest at 25% per annum, and having a principal balance of $150,000 was in default as to the payment of principal and accrued interest.

The Company issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $.50 per share. The warrant was immediately exercisable for a period of ten years. On August 11, 2008, the note was in default as to the payment of principal and accrued interest.

Note 9 — Subsequent Events (continued)
On July 25, 2008, the Company entered into a term sheet with an investor to sell $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 million of convertible preferred stock. The preferred stock will be convertible into common stock at a negotiated price and will vote along with the common stock on an as-converted basis. The preferred stock will have a liquidation preference over the common stock. The Company will also issue 1,500,000 to 2,500,000 warrants along with the preferred stock, based on the amount of securities sold in this offering. The warrants will be immediately exercisable for a period of five years at a negotiated price. On July 28, 2008, the investor advanced $200,000 to the Company under this term sheet. The proposed offering is subject to due diligence, negotiation of the final terms and documentation, among other items typical in transactions of this nature. We expect, based upon the terms and conditions currently under negotiation with the investor, that the proposed financing will be dilutive to current shareholders. If this transaction does not close, the $200,000 will convert to a note payable to the investor at 25% per annum, under the same terms as the notes issued February 5, 2008—see also Note 4.
On July 29, 2008, the Company’s Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary resigned from the Company. His employment was subject to an agreement with the Company and is referenced in Note 5 as an agreement dated November 1, 2006. The Company believes that it has no further obligations to the employee.
On July 30, 2008, the Company terminated a consulting agreement originally dated June 1, 2006 and amended on February 1, 2007 and further amended on December 28, 2007. The Company believes that it has no further obligations under the agreement.
On July 31, 2008, the Company terminated a consulting agreement originally dated June 26, 2007. The sole compensation under the agreement was options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2 per share. The options were cancelled as of July 31, 2008. The Company believes it has no further obligations under the agreement.
On August 11, 2008, the Company entered into an employment agreement with an individual to serve as Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. The agreement is for an initial term of 90 days and provides for a salary of $150,000 per year.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “plan,” “future,” “continue,” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations or forecasts of future events, can be affected by inaccurate assumptions, and are subject to various business risks and known and unknown uncertainties, a number of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this document, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. A wide variety of factors could cause or contribute to such differences and could adversely impact revenues, profitability, cash flows and capital needs. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this document will, in fact, transpire or prove to be accurate.
     Factors that could cause or contribute to our actual results differing materially from those discussed herein or for our stock price to be adversely affected include, but are not limited to: (i) we are largely an inception stage company and have a history of operating losses; (ii) we expect to continue to generate operating losses and experience negative cash flow and it is uncertain whether we will achieve future profitability; (iii) we require additional financing to continue our operations and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing, or obtain it on terms acceptable to us; (iv) we are dependent on key personnel; (v) we are operating in both mature and developing markets, and there is uncertainty as to acceptance of our technology and products in these markets; (vi) we have a long sales cycle; (vii) our target markets are characterized by new products and rapid technological change; (viii) our market is competitive; (ix) we have limited marketing capability; (x) we are dependent on manufacturers and suppliers; (xi) we are uncertain of our ability to protect technology through patents; (xii) we are uncertain of our ability to protect our proprietary technology and information; (xiii) there are existing and potential risks related to license arrangements; (xiv) we have not completed our trademark registrations; (xv) there is a limited market for our common stock and holders may not be able to sell shares or sell in a timely manner; (xvi) sufficient voting power by coalitions of a few of our larger stockholders to make corporate governance decisions that could have significant effect on us and the other stockholders; (xvii) because our common stock will likely be considered a “penny stock,” any investment in our shares is considered to be a high-risk investment, is subject to restrictions on marketability, and certain investors and funds are unable to purchase the shares; (xviii) we have never paid dividends and have no plans to in the future; (xviv) the issuance of options and warrants may dilute the interest of stockholders; (xx) we have additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock; and (xxi) the possible need for the Company to indemnify our officers and directors. For a more detailed description of these and other cautionary factors that may affect our future results, please refer to our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2007.
Recent Developments for the Company
Operating Results
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007
Results From Operations
Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, were $24,884 and $31,251, respectively. All of the revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were derived from the licensing agreement with Red Spot. These revenues stem from the amortization of the

 


Table of Contents

initial payment of $125,000 by Red Spot to the Company in May 2005 and not from any subsequent transactions.
Salaries and Fringe Benefits for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $1,519,705 and $828,424, respectively. The increase in such expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 is explained by the presence of four additional executives and employees during that entire time period compared with the same period in the prior year. While all six were employed at some point during that same period in the prior year, two were employed for approximately one month of that time while another was employed for four months. Additionally, two of the executives who were employed by the Company during the nine months ended June 30, 2007 were awarded raises effective January 1, 2007. This is also reflected in the increase in this expense category for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The salary and fringe benefit amounts discussed herein include expenses related to options awarded to the employees and executives.
Professional Fees for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $2,245,674 and $1,410,799, respectively. The increase in such expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 is attributable to the additional consultants that were in place for purposes of providing business development, investor relations, financial, and information technology consulting. Additionally, approximately $1,028,000 of the difference stems from the recognition of the expense associated with options granted to various consultants in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. This expense was recognized for each of the nine months in the current year but for only approximately two months in the prior year.

 


Table of Contents

Other General and Administrative Expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $556,493 and $278,327, respectively. The increase in such expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 is explained by significant increases in travel, travel-related, and marketing expenses incurred in business development activities, and certain insurance costs.
Operating Losses for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were (4,296,988) and ($2,486,299), respectively. The increased loss between the periods is explained by the increase in Salaries and Fringe Benefits, Professional Fees, and Other General and Administrative Expenses discussed above.
Interest Income for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was $5,671 and $8,885, respectively. This income reflects interest earned on cash balances.
Interest Expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was $1,261,115 and $218,775, respectively. These amounts reflect interest accrued on convertible notes payable to third parties as well as notes payable to related parties. The figure for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 also reflects the amortization of detachable warrants and the beneficial conversion feature that is part of the convertible notes outstanding at June 30, 2008.
Income Tax Provision . No provision for income tax benefit from net operating losses has been made for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 as the Company has fully reserved the asset until realization is more reasonably assured.
Net Loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was ($5,552,432) and ($2,696,189), respectively. The increased loss between the periods is explained by the increase in Salaries and Fringe Benefits, Professional Fees, Other General and Administrative Expenses, and Interest Expense discussed above.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was ($.17) and ($.10), respectively. This change reflects the effect of the increased Net Loss discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources . Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 totaled $27,169 and $808,163, respectively. This decrease is explained by cash used in operations of $1,747,105, cash used to pay down debts of $91,998, and cash used in the purchase of property and equipment and intangible assets of $141,891, offset by cash proceeds of $1,200,000 from the issuance of convertible debt.
Operating Results
Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
Results From Operations
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, were $4,050 and $10,417, respectively. All of the revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were derived from the licensing agreement with Red Spot. These revenues stem from the amortization of the initial payment of $125,000 by Red Spot to the Company in May 2005 and not from any subsequent transactions.
Salaries and Fringe Benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $444,920 and $429,638, respectively. The increase in such expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 is explained by the presence of four additional executives and employees during that time period compared with the same period in the prior year.
Professional Fees for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $758,691 and $843,870, respectively. The decrease in such expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 is attributable to the legal and accounting fees that were in place during the prior year period for purposes of completing a private equity offering and for a completing the reverse merger.

 


Table of Contents

Other General and Administrative Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $111,553 and $109,084, respectively. Increases in this category in travel expenses and SEC registration expenses were offset by reductions in training and education expenses.
Operating Losses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were ($1,311,094) and ($1,372,175), respectively. The increased loss between the periods is explained by the increase in Salaries and Fringe Benefits and Professional Fees discussed above.
Interest Income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was $11 and $6,512, respectively. This income reflects interest earned on cash balances.
Interest Expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was $966,248 and $63,116, respectively. These amounts reflect interest accrued on convertible notes payable to third parties as well as notes payable to related parties. The figure for the three months ended June 30, 2008 also reflects the amortization of detachable warrants and the beneficial conversion feature that is part of the convertible notes outstanding at June 30, 2008.
Income Tax Provision. No provision for income tax benefit from net operating losses has been made for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 as the Company has fully reserved the asset until realization is more reasonably assured.
Net Loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was ($2,277,331) and ($1,428,779), respectively. The increased loss between the periods is explained by the increase in Salaries and Fringe Benefits, Professional Fees, and Interest Expense discussed above.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was ($.07) and ($.05), respectively. This change reflects the effect of the increased Net Loss discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 totaled $27,169 and $808,163, respectively. This decrease is explained by cash used in operations of $1,747,105, cash used to pay down debts of $91,998, and cash used in the purchase of property and equipment and intangible assets of $141,891, offset by cash proceeds of $1,200,000 from the issuance of convertible debt.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 totaled $27,169 and $808,163, respectively. This substantial decrease in cash was due to cash used in operations of $1,747,105, cash used to pay down debts of $91,998, and cash used in the purchase of property, equipment and intangible assets of $141,891. This use of cash was partially offset by cash proceeds of $1,200,000 from the issuance of convertible debt. Operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2008 reflect significant continuing operating losses. Subsequent to the period under review, during the month of July, we raised $300,000 in cash through the issuance of two unsecured, convertible notes payable. As of the date of this filing, that cash has been substantially spent.
We expect to continue using substantial amounts of cash to: (i) secure our intellectual property; (ii) further develop and commercialize our products; (iii) purchase and acquire captive installations with our customers, and; (iv) fund ongoing salaries, professional fees, and general administrative expenses. Our cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned depending on numerous factors, including the status of our marketing efforts, our business development activities, the results of future research and development, competition and our ability to generate revenues. In addition, we have approximately $1,425,000 including accrued interest in unsecured, convertible notes payable that came due on or before July 31, 2008 and approximately $310,000 in additional unsecured notes payable that are due on or before August 31, 2008. The notes provide the holders with certain conversion rights that allow them to convert all or part of the amounts then payable under the notes into shares of our common stock. There can be no

 


Table of Contents

assurance that any such conversion will be made and that the full amount of the notes will have to be repaid.
Historically, we have financed operations primarily through the issuance of our debt and equity securities. At present, we do not have any binding commitments for additional financing. On July 25, 2008, the Company entered into a term sheet with a third party for potential financing of between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000 through the sale of our convertible preferred stock. In connection with the term sheet, the third party advanced $200,000 to us on July 28, 2008 and received the exclusive right, for a 30-day due diligence period, to match any financing offer from another source. We are applying this advance to our working capital needs. We estimate this financing will last until September 15, 2008, provided certain noteholders and other creditors continue to give us payment extensions. If the proposed sale of our preferred stock does not close for any reason, the advance will convert to a senior note with the same terms as the notes issued on February 5, 2008 described in Note 5 to the financial statements. Under the term sheet, the preferred stock would be convertible into common stock at a negotiated rate and would be issued along with five-year warrants to purchase from 1,500,000 to 2,500,000 shares of common stock, depending on the size of the offering, at an exercise price to be negotiated. The preferred stock will bear a dividend, have a liquidation preference over the common stock, and vote with the common stock on an as-converted basis. The proposed financing is subject to a number of conditions typical in transactions of this nature, including completion of due diligence, negotiation of final terms, and preparation of final documentation. The term sheet expires on August 24, 2008. We are subject to certain confidentiality covenants and are therefore unable to disclose all of the terms and conditions contained in the term sheet and now being negotiated. However, we expect, based upon the terms and conditions currently under negotiation with the investor, that the proposed financing, will be dilutive to current shareholders. There can be no assurance that we will close this financing, or close upon terms and conditions suitable to the Company and its shareholders.
We are an early stage company and have incurred an accumulated deficit of ($11,459,601). Accordingly, we have received a report from our independent auditors that includes an explanatory paragraph describing their substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to close the sale of the convertible preferred stock, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. At August 14, 2008, the Company was in default on various notes with an approximate principal balance of $1,400,000 not including accrued interest. One of the notes, with a principal amount owing of $150,000, bears a default interest rate of 25% per annum. We are seeking extensions from these noteholders, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such extensions or, if obtained, what the cost of the extensions will be. If we are unable to close the proposed financing or close it before August 24, 2008, we will require additional capital and will be required to obtain extensions payment on outstanding accounts payable and notes. If we are not successful in this regard, we would seek to negotiate with other parties for debt or equity financing, pursue additional bridge financing, and negotiate with creditors for a reduction and/or extension of debt and other obligations through the issuance of stock. At this point, we cannot assess the likelihood of achieving these objectives. If we are unable to achieve these objectives, we may be forced to cease our business, sell all or part of our assets, and/or seek protection under applicable bankruptcy laws.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of the statements in accordance with these principles requires that we make estimates, using available data and our judgment, for such things as valuing assets, accruing liabilities and estimating expenses. The following is a discussion of what we feel are the most critical estimates that we must make when preparing our financial statements.
     Revenue Recognition. Revenues from licensing contracts are recorded ratably over the life of the contract. Contingency earnings such as royalty fees are recorded when the amount can reasonably be determined and collection is likely.
     Income Taxes and Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities as reported for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes and for the future use of net operating losses. We have recorded a valuation allowance against the net deferred income tax asset. The valuation allowance reduces deferred income tax assets to an amount that represents management’s best estimate of the amount of such deferred income tax assets that more likely than not will be realized.
     Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
     
Computer equipment
   3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures
   3-7 years
Test equipment
   5-7 years
Software
   3 years
Marketing and promotional video
   3 years
     Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized as incurred.
     The Company reviews long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset with future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
     Patents. It is the Company’s policy to capitalize costs associated with securing a patent. Costs consist of legal and filing fees. Once a patent is issued, it is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. For purposes of the preparation of the unaudited, consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10QSB, we have recorded amortization expense associated with the patents based on an eight year useful life.
     Stock-Based Compensation. We have a stock incentive plan that provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock and other awards to employees and service providers. We calculate compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. In so doing, we estimate certain key assumptions used in the model. We believe the estimates we use, which are presented in Note 7 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, are appropriate and reasonable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which establishes how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under GAAP. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on our financial statements, but we do not expect SFAS 157 to have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. SFAS 159 will become effective for the Company beginning with fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating what effects the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on the Company’s future results of operations and financial condition.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)) and No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 141(R) will significantly change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 are effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (October 1, 2009 for Ecology). Early adoption is prohibited for both standards. SFAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 160 would have no impact on our financial position or results of operations. Management is in the process of evaluating SFAS 141(R) and determining what effect, if any, it may have on our financial position and results of operations going forward.
     In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. This statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 will become effective for the Company beginning in the three months ending March 31, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement would have had no impact on the results or financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2008.
     In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
     In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of SFAS 163 is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60. Accordingly, SFAS 163 does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). SFAS 163 also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 163 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 3A (T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15e promulgated under the Exchange Act as of this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
     Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of certain duties at the Company due to the small number of employees with responsibility for general administrative and financial matters. This constitutes a deficiency in financial reporting. However, at this time, management has decided that considering the employees involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation of duties are insignificant and the potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the additional expenses associated with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation. If the volume of business increases and sufficient capital is secured, it is the Company’s intention to further increase staffing to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general, administrative and financial functions.
Changes in Internal Controls
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Based on such evaluation, management has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective for their intended purpose described above. There were no changes to the internal controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected or that are reasonably likely to affect the internal controls.
Limitation on the Effectiveness of Controls
     A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Such limitations include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures, such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.
