Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)








NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





Organization





East Coast Diversified Corporation, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or “East Coast”, was organized on May 24, 1994, under the laws of the State of Florida under the name Plantastic Corp. and changed its name to Viva Golf, USA Corp. in April 1997. The Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Lifekeepers International, Inc. in exchange for 1,000,000 of its newly issued shares under an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization on October 22, 1998. In connection with this acquisition, the Company changed its name to Lifekeepers International, Inc.





On May 29, 2003, the Company changed its name to East Coast Diversified Corporation. During the year 2001, the Company discontinued its operations, and remained inoperative until April 26, 2006.





On April 6, 2009 the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously adopted and the consenting stockholders approved a resolution to effect a one-for-hundred (1:100) reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split") of the Common Stock of the Company pursuant to clearance and final approval by FINRA. The resulting share ownership interest including resulting fractional shares for each individual shareholder shall be rounded up to the third whole integer in such a manner that every shareholder shall own at least 100 shares as a result of the Reverse Split.





On June 29, 2009 the Company was notified by NASDAQ that has it had received the necessary documentation to process the Reverse Split (1 for 100) and issue a new symbol (“ECDC”) and that this action would take effect at the open of business on June 30, 2009.





On January 15, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with EarthSearch Communications International, Inc. (“EarthSearch”), a Delaware corporation, and the shareholders of EarthSearch (“EarthSearch Shareholders”) whereby the Company acquired 93.49% of the issued and outstanding common stock of EarthSearch in exchange (the “Stock Exchange”) for 35,000,000 newly issued shares of its restricted common stock.  The final closing was concluded and is effective April 2, 2010. The board of directors of ECDC passed a resolution electing the board and management of the Company and effectively resigned from the board of ECDC.





The Stock Exchange is being accounted for as an acquisition and recapitalization. EarthSearch is the acquirer for accounting purposes and, consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements herein are those of EarthSearch.





EarthSearch Communications International, Inc. was founded in November 2003 as a Georgia corporation. The Company subsequently re-incorporated in Delaware on July 8, 2005.





The operations of its former wholly-owned subsidiary, EarthSearch Localizacao de Veiculos, Ltda, were discontinued during 2007.





Basis of Presentation





The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.  The results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2010 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on April 12, 2010 and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

East Coast Diversified Corporation and Subsidiary


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


June 30, 2010


(unaudited)





Nature of Operations





The Company is an early stage research and development company with specialization in GPS and RFID technology. The Company’s development of GPS devices embedded with RFID modules represents its core technology and products. The Company has licensed various patents relating to the technology used in the Company’s products and has commenced sales and commercialization of the technology which the Company expects will result in revenue that will allow the Company to sustain its current operation and get to a profitable status.





The Company launched sales operations in 2008 but subsequently withdrew sales and commercial resources from the market mid-2008 and 2009 due to the negative economic and market conditions.





Principles of Consolidation





The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of East Coast Diversified Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiary, EarthSearch Communications International, Inc.  All significant inter-company balances and 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent 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.  Significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the amortization period for intangible assets, impairment valuation of intangible assets, depreciable lives of the website and property and equipment, valuation of share-based payments and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.





Cash and Cash Equivalents





The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.





Loss Per Share





Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share.” As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.





Fixed Assets





Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed principally by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:





Description
Estimated useful lifeFurniture and fixtures
7 yearsEquipment
5 yearsLeasehold improvements
Life of lease





Equipment to be placed in service will be depreciated once the equipment is placed in service.  Depreciation expense was $4,447 and $4,151 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $8,082 and $8,302 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

East Coast Diversified Corporation and Subsidiary


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Income Taxes





The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”).  Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.





Research and Development Costs





Costs incurred internally in researching and developing a computer software product is charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. We have determined that technological feasibility for our software products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved through coding and testing. Generally, this occurs shortly before the products are released to manufacturing which occurred in January 2007. The amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products, which is estimated to be 3 years.





The Company capitalized $0 and $55,639 of research and development costs in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively.  The Company recorded amortization expense of $53,389 and $51,071 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $106,778 and $102,142 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.





Segment Information





In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments.  The Company does not have any operating segments as of June 30, 2010.





Revenue Recognition





The Company recognized revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”   (“ASC Topic 605”).  Under ASC Topic 605, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  Revenue is recognized when products are received and accepted by the customer.  Risk of loss transfers from the manufacturer to the Company upon shipment of product from the warehouse.





Reclassification





Certain amounts from prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.





Recent Accounting Pronouncements





In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 105-10, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”).  Under ASC 105-10, the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“Codification”) becomes the source of authoritative U. S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.





ASC 105-10 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  On the effective date, the Codification supersedes all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.  All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative.  The adoption of ASC 105-10 did not have to an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of the Chief Accountant and Division of Corporation Finance announced the release of ASC 805-10 (Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112).  This staff accounting bulletin amends or rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series in order to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.  Specifically, the staff updated the Series in order to bring existing guidance into conformity with recent pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, namely, ASC 805-10, Business Combinations, and ASC 810-10 Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.  The statements in staff accounting bulletins are not rules or interpretations of the Commission, nor are they published as bearing the Commission’s official approval.  They represent interpretations and practices followed by the Division of Corporation Finance and the Office of the Chief Accountant in administering the disclosure requirements of the Federal securities laws.





In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic 805-10, “Business Combinations”, (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 141(R)). ASC Topic 805-10 retains the underlying concepts of prior guidance in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting; but ASC Topic 805-10 changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. ASC Topic 805-10 requires companies to recognize, with certain exception, 100% of the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest in acquisitions of less than 100% controlling interest when the acquisition constitutes a change in control; measure acquirer shares issued as consideration for a business combination at fair value on the date of the acquisition; recognize contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition date fair value, with subsequent change in fair value generally reflected in earnings; recognition of reacquisition loss and gain contingencies at their acquisition date fair value; and expense, as incurred, acquisition related transaction costs. We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 805-10 effective January 1, 2010 and accounted for the acquisition of EarthSearch Communications International, Inc. under the provisions of ASC Topic 805-10.





In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC Topic 810-10-65, “Consolidation”, (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51”). ASC Topic 810-10-65 establishes new standards that govern the accounting for and reporting of (1) noncontrolling interest in partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries and (2) loss of control of subsidiaries. ASC Topic 810-10-65 requires that entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interest of the noncontrolling owners separately within the consolidated statement of position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity and separately on the face of the consolidated income statement. Further, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary should be accounted for consistently and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary should be initially measured at fair value. We adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 810-10-65 effective January 1, 2009 and accounted for the acquisition of EarthSearch Communications International, Inc. under the provisions of ASC Topic 810-10-65.





In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on January 1, 2011.

NOTE 5 – ESCROW DEPOSITS





On December 18, 2009, the principal shareholders (the “Sellers”) of East Coast Diversified Corporation (“ECDC”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kayode Aladesuyi (the “Buyer”), the President of the Company, pursuant to which Sellers, owners of record and beneficially an aggregate of 7,029,950 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) of ECDC, agreed to sell and transfer Sellers' 7,029,950 shares of Common Stock (the "Sellers’ Shares”) to the Buyer for total consideration of Three Hundred Thousand ($300,000) Dollars. The Agreement also provided that the Company would enter into a share exchange agreement with the Company.





In connection with this transaction the Company deposited $220,000 as of March 31, 2010 and $100,000 as of December 31, 2009 in escrow towards the final purchase price of the transaction.  The escrow deposits have been reimbursed to the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 by the ultimate investors that acquired the Sellers’ shares.





On January 26, 2010, the Company began negotiations with G-TECHONOLOGIES SDN BHD (“G-TECH”), a Malaysian entity, to acquire a 10% interest of G-TECH and issued a $25,000 refundable deposit with G-TECH.  The Company is currently performing its due diligence of G-TECH and is continuing its negotiations.








NOTE 6 - 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.  The Company has incurred a net loss of $1,130,491 and $507,457 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $9,415,518.  The Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $3,296,505 at June 30, 2010.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues, its ability to continue to raise investment capital, and implement its business plan.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.





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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.








NOTE 7 - LEGAL





On July 13, 2010, the Company was named in a lawsuit captioned ArrivalStar S.A. and Melvino Technologies Limited v. EarthSearch Communications International, Inc.. U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois, 1:10-CV-04349.  The lawsuit alleges that EarthSearch had infringed on various patents.  On September 1, 2010, both parties agreed to a Settlement, Release and License Agreement which provides numerous domestic and international patents usable by EarthSearch for minimal fees.

Plan of Operation





On April 2, 2010, we completed the Stock Exchange with EarthSearch. In connection with this Stock Exchange, we discontinued our former business and succeeded to the business of EarthSearch as our sole line of business. The merger is being accounted for as a recapitalization, with EarthSearch deemed to be the accounting acquirer and ECDC the acquired company. Accordingly, EarthSearch’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the merger have become those of the registrant (ECDC), retroactively restated for, and giving effect to, the number of shares received in the merger. The accumulated earnings of EarthSearch were also carried forward after the acquisition. Operations reported for periods prior to the merger are those of EarthSearch.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





Results of Operations





Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009





Revenue





For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our revenue was $13,471, compared to $49,762 for the same period in 2009, representing a decrease of 72.9%. This decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the effects of the economy and the deficiency in working capital to provide for marketing the Company’s products.





Gross Profit





For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our gross profit was $83, compared to a gross profit of $30,642 for the same period in 2009, representing a decrease of 99.7%. This decrease in our gross profit resulted primarily from the reduction in revenue and the increase in cost of revenue as a percent of revenue (99.4% and 38.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively).  The increase in cost of revenues as a percent of revenue is primarily due to the limited revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010.





Selling, General and Administrative Expenses





For the three months ended June 30, 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses were $626,533 compared to $247,157 for the same period in 2009, an increase of 153.5%.  This increase was primarily caused by accounting fees increased from $0 to $28,675, compensation for board members increased from $0 to $40,000, and salary expenses increased from $78,130 to $371,083. These increases were offset by a decrease in salary expense for technology employees of $26,500.





Net Loss





We generated net losses of $606,365 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $239,937 for the same period in 2009, an increase of 152.7%.





19





Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009





Revenue





For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our revenue was $22,574, compared to $100,932 for the same period in 2009, representing a decrease of 77.6%. This decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the effects of the economy and the deficiency in working capital to provide for marketing the Company’s products.





Gross Profit





For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our gross profit was $349, compared to a gross profit of $52,602 for the same period in 2009, representing a decrease of 99.3%. This decrease in our gross profit resulted primarily from the reduction in revenue and the increase in cost of revenue as a percent of revenue (98.5% and 47.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively).  The increase in cost of revenues as a percent of revenue is primarily due to the limited revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010.





Selling, General and Administrative Expenses





For the six months ended June 30, 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,105,972 compared to $533,060 for the same period in 2009, an increase of 107.5%.  This increase was primarily caused by accounting fees increased from $0 to $53,730, compensation for board members increased from $0 to $80,000, and salary expenses increased from $255,770 to $641,731. These increases were offset by a decrease in salary expense for technology employees of $57,507.





Net Loss





We generated net losses of $1,130,491 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $507,457 for the same period in 2009, an increase of 122.8%.





CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY





At June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,113. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from private placements of our securities. Our cash requirements are generally for selling, general and administrative activities. We do not believe that our cash balance as of June 30, 2010 and expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to finance our cash requirements for expected operational activities, capital improvements, and partial repayment of debt through the next six months.  Accordingly, we will need to rely on additional loans and private placements of our securities.





Our operating activities generated a deficit cash flow of approximately $561,668 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and we used cash in operations of $223,629 during 2009. The principal elements of cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included a net loss of $1,172,714, offset by depreciation and amortization expense of $114,860, in-kind contribution of services of $297,846, and decreased investment in operating working capital elements of $97,936.





Cash provided by our investing activities was $69,215 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $14,765 used in investing activities for the same period in 2009.  This increase of $83,980 was primarily due the receipt of funds for reimbursement of escrow deposits of $220,000 and the payment of escrow deposits if $145,000.





Cash generated from our financing activities was $493,800 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $238,366 during the comparable period in 2009. This increase was primarily attributed to the proceeds from the issuance of common stock, an increase from $112,978 to $123,000, proceeds from loans payable to related parties, a decrease from $230,769 to $158,785, proceeds from loans payable to unrelated parties, an increase from $0 to $321,425, offset by the repayments of loans payable to related parties, an increase from $105,381 to $109,410.





As of June 30, 2010, current liabilities exceeded current assets by 58.9 times. Current assets increased from $37,601 at December 31, 2009 to $60,761 at June 30, 2010 whereas current liabilities increased from $3,063,247 at December 31, 2009 to $3,576,052 at June 30, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies





The Company’s financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition.





We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.





Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all of these significant accounting policies impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on the Company and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates.  Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our financial position or liquidity, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.





Off Balance Sheet Transactions





We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk





The Company is not exposed to market risk related to interest rates or foreign currencies.








Item 4.  Controls and Procedures





Disclosure Controls and Procedures





Management is committed to maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.





As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we must carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each fiscal quarter, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its CEO and CFO, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles.





With the participation of the CEO, who is also our acting CFO, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, based upon the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the assessment performed using the criteria established by COSO, management has concluded that we had the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:


21





1.
Lack of functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;2.
Lack of segregation of duties over financial transaction processing and reporting;3.
Ineffective controls and insufficient written policies and procedures over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.





Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting





In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses discussed above and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to initiate the following series of measures:





For the material weakness concerning our Audit Committee, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.  We plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our Board who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal  controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management.





For the material weakness concerning deficiencies in segregation of duties, we are currently reviewing our internal controls under new management to assure that we have adequately trained personnel to more timely complete the company’s Quarterly and other filings with the SEC.  We shall create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us.





For the material weakness concerning deficiencies in the financial reporting process, we are working to develop and implement sufficient written policies and procedures to better insure timely decisions can be made regarding required disclosures.





Notwithstanding our assessment that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 accurately present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.





Other than the items identified above, no change in ECDC’s control over financial reporting has occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, ECDC’s internal control over financial reporting.





Based on current regulations, Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act required our management to provide an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009. We have performed the necessary system and process documentation in preparation for the evaluation and testing required for management to make this assessment. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Included in the Act is a provision that permanently exempts smaller public companies that qualify as either a Non-Accelerated Filer or Smaller Reporting Company from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. For our fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, we currently expect to be exempt from such requirement.
