CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





(UNAUDITED)


Note
1 – History and organization of the company





The
Company was organized April 21, 1999 (Date of Inception) under the laws of
the State of  Nevada as Alchemy Enterprises, Ltd.  The Company
was initially authorized to issue 25,000 shares of its no par value common
stock.





On
October 29, 2002, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to
increase its authorized capital to 25,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001.
 On January 26, 2005, the Company amended its articles of
incorporation again, increasing authorized capital to 100,000,000 shares of
common stock with a par value of $0.001.  On March 1, 2006, the
Company amended its articles of incorporation, increasing authorized capital to
300,000,000 shares of common stock, each with a par value of $0.001, and
200,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of
$0.001.





On
November 26, 2006, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to
change its name from Alchemy Enterprises, Ltd. to ECOtality, Inc to better
reflect its renewable energy strategy.





The
former business of the Company was to market a private-label biodegradable
product line.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, the board of
directors changed the Company’s focus toward developing an electric power cell
technology.





On
June 11, 2007, the Company acquired the assets of the FuelCellStore.com, a
small web based seller of educational fuel cell products. The FuelCellStore.com
product line includes demonstration kits, educational materials, fuel cell
systems and component parts.  It also offers consulting services on
establishing educational programs for all levels of educational
institutions.  FuelCellStore.com now operates as ECOtality Stores, Inc
wholly owned subsidiary.  See note 3 for further information.





On
October 1, 2007, the Company purchased certain assets of Innergy Power
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Portable Energy De Mexico, S.A. DE
C.V.  Innergy Power Corporation designs and manufactures standard and
custom solar-power and integrated solar-battery solutions for government,
industrial and consumer applications.  See note 3 for further
information.





On
November 6, 2007 the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of
Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation, as well as its affiliated
company The Clarity Group (collectively referred to as eTec).  eTec designs
fast-charge systems for material handling and airport ground support
applications. eTec also tests and develops plug-in hybrids, advanced battery
systems and hydrogen ICE conversions.  See note 4 for further
information.





On
December 6, 2007 the Company acquired through eTec the Minit-Charger
business of Edison Enterprises. Minit-Charger makes products that enable fast
charging of lift trucks using revolutionary technologies.  See note 4
for further information.





On August
26, 2009 the common shareholders of the company authorized an increase to the
number of shares of common stock from 300,000,000 to 1,300,000,000 and
authorized the Board of Directors to conduct a reverse split of the common
shares in the range of 1: 50 to 1:100.





The
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and September 30,
2009 include the accounts of ECOtality, Innergy Power Corporation, ECOtality
Stores, Inc (DBA Fuel Cell Store) eTec, and Minit-Charger.  All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.  ECOtality
and its subsidiaries will collectively be referred herein as the
“Company”.





Note
2 – 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
$15,680,502 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and $20,304,903
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The Company has working
capital of ($15,245,550) as of September 30, 2009 and has accumulated a retained
deficit of $56,642,527 since its date of inception.





These
conditions give rise to doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. These financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or sale of
its common stock as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.
Progress has been made in this regard as follows:

On
October 31, 2009, Ecotality, Inc. (“Ecotality” or the “Company”) signed a
Securities Exchange Agreement with all holders of its convertible
debentures and holders of certain warrants to convert all outstanding
amounts ($9,111,170) under these debentures and all related warrants into an
aggregate of 9,270,804  shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock.  Also on October 31,2009 the Company signed a Securities
Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with certain accredited
investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase
shares of the Common Stock at a pre-Reverse Split purchase price of $0.12 per
share.  The funds from the private placement will be utilized as
working capital to support the initial requirements of the contract signed with
the Department of Energy on September 30, 2009.





Terms of
the private placement include:


1.
            A
      minimum aggregate purchase of $15,500,000 of Common Stock by the
      Investors.





2.
              Each
      Investor will receive a Warrant to purchase the equivalent number of
      shares of Common Stock that it purchases under to the Securities Purchase
      Agreement.  The exercise price of the Warrants will be equal to
      $0.15 per share (pre-Reverse Split).  The Company may call the
      Warrants if the closing price of shares of the Common Stock is at least
      $0.45 per share (pre-Reverse Split) for 20 consecutive trading days,
      subject to certain conditions, including the existence of an effective
      registration statement for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
      exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) and minimum volume
      provisions.  The Company may not affect any exercise of the Warrants
      in an amount that would result in any Investor or  its
      affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding Common
      Stock upon such an exercise.  The Warrants will have a five-year
      term during which they can be exercised and shall contain a cashless
      exercise provision which shall apply if there is not an effective
      registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon
      exercise.3.
              The
      Company shall file a shelf registration statement for the resale of the
      shares of Common Stock purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement
      and the Warrant Shares on Form S-3 or another appropriate form (the
      “Registration Statement”).  Such Registration Statement shall be
      filed as soon as practicable, but in any event within 45 days of the
      closing date of the Securities Purchase
  Agreement.




4.
            The
      Investors have agree not to exercise “short sales” for a period of
      9-months after the date of the Securities Purchase
    Agreement.





5.
            The
      Company will initiate the process to effect the Reverse Split prior to the
      closing, and the Company will submit its application to be listed on The
      NASDAQ Stock Market as soon as possible thereafter. The Company is
      obligated to consummate the Reverse Split within 30 days of the date of
      the Securities Purchase Agreement.





Note
3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





Use of
estimates


Preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant
estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the measurement of
the valuation allowance relating to deferred tax assets and future cash flows
associated with long-lived assets.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.





Cash and cash
equivalents


For
financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers short-term,
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash and cash equivalents.





Interest
income is credited to cash balances as earned.  For the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 interest income was $0 and $616
respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
interest income was $0 and $9,778 respectively.





Credit
Risk


Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of cash deposits and accounts receivable. The Company
maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at financial institutions that are
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.
 Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on
such deposits.  At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had
approximately $400,000 and $100,000 in excess of FDIC insured limits,
respectively.





Accounts
Receivable


Accounts
receivable are carried on a gross basis, with no discounting, less the allowance
for doubtful accounts.   Accounts receivable at September 30,
2009 was $1,089,066  At September 30, 2009 we had two customers that
represented in excess of 10% of our receivable balance. The first, Palco Telecom
Service Inc., had a balance of $150,740.  The second, The United
States Department of Energy had a balance of $120,830. The Company has not
experienced material losses in the past from these or any other significant
customers and continues to monitor its exposures to minimize potential credit
losses.  The allowance for doubtful accounts was $92,494 and $35,028
as of September  30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


7





Impairment
of long-lived assets and intangible assets


The
Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and other
intangible assets”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for
acquired goodwill and other intangible assets.  Management regularly
reviews property, equipment, intangibles and other long-lived assets for
possible impairment by performing the necessary testing for recoverability of
the asset and measuring its fair value. This review occurs quarterly, or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of
the asset may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, then
management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the
use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than
the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down
the asset to its estimated fair value. Management believes that the accounting
estimate related to impairment of its property and equipment, is a “critical
accounting estimate” because: (1) it is highly susceptible to change from
period to period because it requires management to estimate fair value, which is
based on assumptions about cash flows and discount rates; and (2) the
impact that recognizing an impairment would have on the assets reported on our
balance sheet, as well as net income, could be material. Management’s
assumptions about cash flows and discount rates require significant judgment
because actual revenues and expenses have fluctuated in the past and are
expected to continue to do so.  During the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 the Company had impairment expense of $0 and $0,
respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 impairment expense was $0 and $0 respectively.





Revenue
recognition


The
Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) 104 and Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 45. Revenue is
recognized when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable,
all obligations have been performed pursuant to the terms of the formal
arrangement and collectability is reasonably assured.





Sales
related to long-term contracts for services (such as engineering, product
development and testing) extending over several years are accounted for under
the percentage-of-completion method of accounting under the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 81-1,Accounting
for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts   . Sales and earnings under these contracts are
recorded based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs
expected to be incurred related to the contract under the cost-to-cost method
based on budgeted milestones or tasks as designated per each contract.
Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which
losses become probable and estimable.





For all
other sales of product or services the Company recognizes revenues based on the
terms of the customer agreement.  The customer agreement takes the form of
either a contract or a customer purchase order and each provides information
with respect to the product or service being sold and the sales price.  If
the customer agreement does not have specific delivery or customer acceptance
terms, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment of the product to the
customer.





Management
periodically reviews all product returns and evaluates the need for establishing
either a reserve for product returns or a product warranty
liability.  As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, management has
concluded that no reserve is required for product returns.





Warranty
Liability


The
Company warrants a limited number of Minit-Charger products against defects for
periods up to 33 months. The estimate of warranty liability is based on
historical product data and anticipated future costs. Should actual failure
rates differ significantly from our estimates, we record the impact of these
unforeseen costs or cost reductions in subsequent periods and update our
assumptions and forecasting models accordingly.  As of September
30, 2009 and 2008 the warranty reserve was $70,853 and $182,093 respectively.
  Management has concluded this warranty reserve to be adequate for future
expenses relating to the warranty.





Inventory


Inventory
is valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or
market.  Inventory includes material, labor, and factory overhead
required in the production of our products.  Inventory obsolescence is
examined on a regular basis.  The allowance for obsolescence was
$183,487 and $73,000 as of September 30, 2009 and September 2008
respectively.





Advertising
costs


The
Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred.  Advertising costs
of $4,308 and $4,518 were included in general and administrative expenses for
the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 advertising costs included in
general and administrative expenses were $25,606 and $22,072
respectively.





Research
and development costs


Research
and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.  For the
quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,  research and development
costs were $602 and $138,143, respectively. For the nine months ended September
30, 2009 and 2008 research and development was 12,763 and 285,777
respectively.





Contingencies


The
Company is not currently a party to any pending or threatened legal proceedings.
 Based on information currently available, management is not aware of any
matters that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.





Fair
Value of Financial Instruments


The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes
payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. Fair
value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and
pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2009 and
2008.  The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial
instruments approximated their fair values.

Loss per
Common Share


Net loss
per share is provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128), “Earnings Per Share”. We present basic loss
per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of statements of operations.
 Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported losses by the weighted average
shares outstanding.   Except where the result would be anti-dilutive to
income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share has been computed
assuming the conversion of the convertible long-term debt and the elimination of
the related interest expense, and the exercise of stock warrants. Loss per
common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the year. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 the assumed
conversion of convertible long-term debt and the exercise of stock warrants are
anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss and were excluded in determining
diluted loss per share.





Foreign
Currency Translation


In 2008
and 2009, a Company subsidiary, PEP Mexico operated outside the United States
and their local currency is their functional currency. The functional
currency is translated into U.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using the
period end rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and the average exchange
rate for revenue and expense accounts for each respective period. The
translation adjustments are deferred as a separate component of stockholders'
equity, within other comprehensive loss, net of tax where
applicable.





In 2008,
a Company subsidiary, eTec, conducted a portion of their business in Canadian
Dollars. Because their functional currency is US dollars, the impact of the
translation was taken directly to the income statement and included in General
and Administrative expense.





Stock-Based
Compensation


The
Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R “Share
Based Payments”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or
services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments
are accounted for based on Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18,
“Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for
Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” using the fair
value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument
issued, whichever is more reliably measurable





Property
and Equipment


Property
and equipment are recorded at historical cost.  Minor additions and
renewals are expensed in the year incurred.  Major additions and renewals
are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.  When
property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or
loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period.
 The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for
tax purposes where appropriate.  The estimated useful lives for significant
property and equipment categories are as follows:





Equipment
                5-7
      yearsBuildings
                39
      years





Income
Taxes


The
Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes" which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset
or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to
the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  A valuation
allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which the related
benefits will likely not be realized.  Future changes in such
valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in
the period of change.





Deferred
income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and
expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different
periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on
the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred
taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or
liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in
which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.





The
Company adopted FASB Interpretation Number. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes, as of January 1, 2007.  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the companies’ financial
statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes.  As a result, the Company applies a more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties.  FIN 48 only allows
the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent
likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing
authorities.  As a result of implementing FIN 48, the Company reviewed
its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax
positions with less than a fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon
examination, therefore the implementation of this standard has not had a
material effect on the Company.





The
Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized
tax benefits within the next twelve months.  As of September 30, 2009
and 2008 respectively, no income tax expense has been incurred.


9





Dividends


The
Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.  No
dividends have been paid or declared since inception.  For the foreseeable
future, the Company intends to retain any earnings to finance the development
and expansion of its business and it does not anticipate paying any cash
dividends on its common stock.  Any future determination to pay dividends
will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon
then existing conditions, including the Company’s financial condition and
results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business
prospects and other factors that the board of directors considers
relevant.





Segment
reporting


SFAS No. 131,
“Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires
disclosures related to components of a company for which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by a company’s chief
operating decision maker in deciding the allocation of resources and assessing
performance.  Upon completion of FuelCellStores.com, Innergy Power
Corporation, Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation (eTec) and eTec’s
Minit-Charger business acquisitions from June through December 2007, the Company
identified its segments based on the way management expects to organize the
Company to assess performance and make operating decisions regarding the
allocation of resources.   In accordance with the criteria in
SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information,” the Company has concluded it has three reportable segments for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009; ECOtality Stores segment, Innergy Power segment and
eTec segment. The ECOtality Stores segment is the online marketplace for fuel
cell-related products and technologies with online distribution sites in the
U.S., Japan, Russia, Italy and Portugal.  The Innergy Power segment is
comprised of the sale of solar batteries and other solar and battery powered
devices to end-users. The eTec segment relates to sale of fast-charge systems
for material handling and airport ground support applications to the testing and
development of plug-in hybrids, advanced battery systems and hydrogen ICE
conversions and consulting revenues.  This segment also includes the
Minit-Charger business which relates to the research, development and testing of
advanced transportation and energy systems with a focus on alternative-fuel,
hybrid and electric vehicles and infrastructures.  eTec holds exclusive
patent rights to the eTec
SuperChargeTM  and  Minit-Charger  systems -
battery fast charge systems that allow for faster charging with less heat
generation and longer battery life than conventional chargers.  The
Company has aggregated these subsidiaries into three reportable segments: Fuel
Cell Store, eTec and Innergy.





The
accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies in Note 3 of this Form 10-Q.
Management continues to assess how it evaluates segment performance, and
utilizes income (loss) from operations, excluding share-based compensation
(benefits), depreciation and intangibles amortization and income taxes. For the
quarter ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, inter-segment sales
were $0 and $0 respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008 inter-segment sales were $28,723 and $0
respectively.  All inter-segment sales have been eliminated during the
consolidation process.





Recent
Accounting pronouncements


In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133”.  SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve transparency in
financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative
instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows.  SFAS No. 161 applies
to all derivate instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  It also applies to
non-derivative hedging instruments and all hedged items designated and
qualifying as hedges under SFAS No. 133.  SFAS No. 161 is effective
prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
15 November 2008, with early application encouraged.  The adoption of
SFAS No. 161 did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed financial
statements.





In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial
reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting
accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are
presented in conformity with GAAP for nongovernmental entities.  Prior
to the issuance of SFAS No. 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 69, “The Meaning
of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles”.  SAS No. 69 has been criticized because it is
directed to the auditor rather than the entity.  SFAS No. 162
addresses these issues by establishing that the GAAP hierarchy should be
directed to entities because it is the entity, not its auditor, which is
responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that
are presented in conformity with GAAP.  SFAS No. 162 is effective 60
days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The
Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material effect on its condensed
financial statements.





In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No.
60”.  SFAS No. 163 provides enhanced guidance on the
recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim
liabilities and related disclosures and is limited to financial guarantee
insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, issued by enterprises included within the
scope of FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by
Insurance Enterprises”.  SFAS No. 163 also requires that an
insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default
when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured
financial obligation.  SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after 15
December 2008, with early application not permitted.  The adoption of
SFAS No. 163 did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed financial
statements.


10


In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”. SFAS No.
165 is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure
of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial
statements are issued or are available to be issued.  It requires the
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events
and the basis for that date–that is, whether that date represents the date the
financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure
should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated
subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being
presented.  SFAS No. 165 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods ending after 15 June 2009. The adoption of
this statement did not have a material impact on its interim condensed financial
statements
 
 In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement” (“SFAS
166”).  SFAS No. 166 is intended to establish standards of financial
reporting for the transfer of assets and transferred assets to improve the
relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability.  SFAS No. 166
was established to clarify derecognition of assets under FASB Statement No. 140,
“Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities”.  SFAS No. 166 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after 15
November 2009.  The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS
No. 166 will have no impact will have on its condensed financial
statements.
 
 In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R)”.  SFAS No. 167 is intended to establish general
standards of financial reporting for companies with variable interest
entities.  It requires timely and useful disclosure of information
related to the Company’s involvement with variable interest
entities.  This disclosure should alert all users to the effects on
specific provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003),
“Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities”, related to the changes to the special-purpose entity
proposal in FASB Statement No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets”, and the treatment of specific provisions of
Interpretation 46(R).  SFAS No. 167 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after 15
November 2009.  The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS
No. 167 will have no impact will have on its condensed financial
statements.
 
 In June 2009, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168,“The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principle – a replacement of FASB statement No. 162”.  SFAS  No. 168
replaces the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting
the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of
nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles as stated with FASB Accounting Standards
Codification becoming the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the
FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases
of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after 15
September 2009.  The Company does not expect this adoption will have a
material impact on the Company’s interim condensed financial
statements.

 Note
4 – Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Goodwill Impairment
 
 FuelCellStore.com
acquisition
 On
June 11, 2007, the Company acquired the assets of the FuelCellStore.com, a
small web based seller of educational fuel cell products. The FuelCellStore.com
product line includes demonstration kits, educational materials, fuel cell
systems and component parts.  It also offers consulting services on
establishing educational programs for all levels of educational
institutions.  FuelCellStore.com now operates as a wholly owned
subsidiary named ECOtality Stores, Inc.  The acquisition has been
accounted for under the purchase accounting method pursuant to SFAS
141.  Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2008, the quarter ended and the nine months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008 include the financial results of ECOtality Stores, Inc. subsequent
to the date of the acquisition.
 
 The fair
value of the transaction was $539,000.  The company paid $350,000 in
cash and issued 300,000 shares of common stock, which was valued at $189,000
based on the closing market price on the date of the agreement.
 
 The
aggregate purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired on their
preliminary estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition.  The
preliminary estimate of the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net
tangible assets acquired was allocated to identifiable intangible assets and
goodwill.  In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles, we have up to twelve months from closing of the acquisition to
finalize the valuation.  The following table summarizes the
preliminary estimate of fair value of assets as part of the acquisition with
ECOtality Stores, Inc.:

                    539,000
  In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the impairment or disposal of long
lived assets”, the Company reviewed the goodwill for impairment performing the
necessary testing for recoverability of the asset and measuring its fair
value.   This testing revealed current, historic, and future
(projected) cash flow losses as well as a determination of fair value less than
the carrying value.  As a result of this testing, the full amount of
goodwill ($326,782) was impaired during the year ended December 31,
2007.

 Innergy
Power Corporation acquisition
 On
October 1, 2007, the Company acquired certain assets of the Innergy Power
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Portable Energy De Mexico, S.A. DE
C.V.  Innergy Power Corporation designs and manufactures standard and
custom solar-power and integrated solar-battery solutions for government,
industrial and consumer applications.  The acquisition has been
accounted for under the purchase accounting method pursuant to SFAS 141
..  Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2008, the quarter ended and the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 include the financial results of Innergy Power Corporation and its
subsidiary subsequent to the date of the acquisition.
 
 The fair
market value of the transaction was $3,000,000. The Company issued 3,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock for the acquisition.  The Company
guaranteed to the sellers that the shares would be worth $1 each ($3,000,000)
during the 30-day period commencing 11 months from the closing date. If the
shares were not worth $3,000,000, the company would be required to either (a)
issue additional shares such that the total shares are worth $3,000,000 at that
time or, (b) issue a total of 4,000,000 new shares, or (c) pay cash to the
seller such that the aggregate value of the 3,000,000 shares plus the cash given
would equal $3,000,000.
 
 The
purchase price obligation was settled in full on October 17, 2008 with the
issuance of 4,000,000 shares of Ecotality’s $0.001 par value common
stock.
 
 The
aggregate purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed on their preliminary estimated fair values at the date of the
acquisition.  The preliminary estimate of the excess of purchase price
over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired was allocated to
identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.  In accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, we have up to twelve months from
closing of the acquisition to finalize the valuation.  The purchase
price allocation is preliminary, pending finalization of our valuation of
certain liabilities assumed.  The following table summarizes the

necessary testing for recoverability of the asset and measuring its fair
value.   This testing revealed current, historic, and future
(projected) cash flow losses as well as a determination of fair value less than
the carrying value.  As a result of this testing, the full amount of
goodwill ($2,494,565) was impaired during the year ended December 31,
2007.
 
 eTec
acquisition
 On
November 6, 2007, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of
Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation, as well as its affiliated
company The Clarity Group (collectively referred to as eTec). eTec designs
fast-charge systems for material handling and airport ground support
applications. eTec also tests and develops plug-in hybrids, advanced battery
systems and hydrogen ICE conversions.  The acquisition has been
accounted for under the purchase accounting method pursuant to SFAS
141.   Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2008 and the quarter ended September 30, 2009 include the financial
results of eTec subsequent to the date of the acquisition.
 
 The fair
market value of the transaction was $5,437,193. The Company paid $2,500,000 in
cash, issued a $500,000 note payable, and issued 6,500,000 shares of the
company’s common stock for the acquisition, which was valued at $1,820,000 based
on the closing market price on the date of the agreement.  The total value
of the transaction also included $217,193 in direct acquisition costs and the
subsequent Net Working Capital Adjustment discussed below.
 
 The
$500,000 was initially payable in monthly installments of $50,000 beginning
December of 2007.  Payment of the balance of the note payable
remaining at September 30, 2009 was $235,253 and payment of this amount has
been deferred by the Sellers until December 31, 2009.
 
 Included
in the purchase agreement was a Net Working Capital Adjustment which called for
an adjustment to the purchase price to be made via a post-Closing payment from
the Sellers to the Buyers or the Buyers to the Seller to the extent that the
actual Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date was more or less than the
agreed Net Working Capital Target. A reconciliation of actual vs. target net
working capital was presented by the Sellers in August 2008 and a True-Up
Payment of $400,000 from the Buyers to the Sellers was agreed to in full
satisfaction of this purchase agreement requirement. The resulting note payable
represents an adjustment of the purchase price, and as such has been recorded as
an increase to Goodwill of $400,000.
  The
balance of the note payable attributable to the Working Capital True was
$400,000 as of September 30, 2009.  This payment has been
deferred by the Sellers until December 31, 2009.

 The
aggregate purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed on their preliminary estimated fair values at the date of the
acquisition.  The preliminary estimate of the excess of purchase price
over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired was allocated to
identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.  In accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, we have up to twelve months from
closing of the acquisition to finalize the valuation.  The purchase
price allocation is preliminary, pending finalization of our valuation of

                    5,437,193
 
 In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the impairment or disposal of long
lived assets”, the Company reviewed the goodwill for impairment performing the
necessary testing for recoverability of the asset and measuring its fair
value.   This testing revealed current, historic, and future
(projected) positive cash flows supporting the full amount of
goodwill.  As a result of this testing in 2007 no impairment was taken
in the year ended December 31, 2007.  This testing yielded similar
results in both the quarter and the nine months ending September 30, 2009
supporting the carrying value, resulting in $0 impairment for those
periods.
 
 Minit-Charger
acquisition
 On
December 6, 2007 the Company acquired through eTec the Minit-Charger business of
Edison Enterprises. Minit-Charger makes products that enable fast charging of
lift trucks using revolutionary technologies.  The acquisition has
been accounted for under the purchase accounting method pursuant to SFAS
141.  Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2008, the quarter ended and the nine months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008 include the financial results of Minit-Charger subsequent to the
date of the acquisition.
 
 The fair
market value of the transaction was $3,000,000. The company paid $1,000,000 in
cash and issued 2,000,000 shares of the company’s common stock for the
acquisition.  The company guaranteed to the sellers that the shares would
be worth $1 each ($2,000,000) by the tenth day following the first anniversary
date of the transaction. If the shares are not worth $2,000,000, the company
would be required to either issue additional shares such that the total shares
are worth $2,000,000 at that time or pay cash to the seller so that the
aggregate value of the 2,000,000 shares plus the cash given would equal
$2,000,000.
 
 The fair
value of the common stock given, based on the closing price of the Company’s
common stock on December 31, 2007, was $370,000. A liability for the balance of
$1,630,000 based on the December 31 closing price was recorded as a current
liability for purchase price on the consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 2007. The liability was adjusted to reflect the actual obligation due of
$1,880,000 on the December 31, 2008 balance sheet. This liability was reflected
at $0 for the September 30, 2009 balance sheet as the purchase price obligation
was settled in full on January 30, 2009 with the issuance of 31,333,333 shares
of Ecotality’s $0.001 par value common stock.
 
 Included
in the purchase agreement with Edison was a Net Working Capital Adjustment which
called for an adjustment to the purchase price to be made via a post-Closing
payment from the Sellers to the Buyers or the Buyers to the Seller to the extent
that the actual Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date was more or less than
the agreed Net Working Capital Target. A reconciliation of actual vs. target net
working capital was presented to the Sellers in April 2008. Based on this
reconciliation and additional documentation and updates from both parties a true
up payment of $390,174 was received in December 2008 in full satisfaction of
this obligation.  This True Up represents an adjustment of the
purchase price. All goodwill associated with the MinitCharger acquisition was
impaired and written down to $0 in year ended December 31, 2007.  The
remaining book value of the acquired assets was approximately $180K at the time
to the true up payment and a full allocation requiring considerable effort would
have resulted in an immaterial adjustment to our financials.  For this
reason the amount of  $390,174 was  recorded as other income
in our eTec business segment for the year ended December 31, 2008.
  The
aggregate purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed on their preliminary estimated fair values at the date of the
acquisition.  The preliminary estimate of the excess of purchase price
over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired was allocated to
identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.  In accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, we have up to twelve months from
closing of the acquisition to finalize the valuation.  The purchase
price allocation is preliminary, pending finalization of our valuation of
certain liabilities assumed.  The following table summarizes the
preliminary estimate of fair value of assets as part of the acquisition with
Minit-Charger:

                    3,000,000
  In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the impairment or disposal of long
lived assets”, the Company reviewed the goodwill for impairment performing the
necessary testing for recoverability of the asset and measuring its fair
value.   This testing revealed current, historic, and future
(projected) cash flow losses as well as a determination of fair value less than
the carrying value.  As a result of this testing, the full amount of
goodwill ($1,280,066) was impaired during the year ended December 31,
2007.

 Note
6 – Notes payable
 
 On
January 16, 2007, the Company purchased an office building for an aggregate
price of $575,615.  $287,959 in cash was paid and the remaining
balance of $287,500 was structured as an interest-only loan.  The loan
bears an interest rate of 6.75% calculated annually, with monthly interest-only
payments due beginning on February 16, 2007.  The entire principal
balance is due on or before January 16, 2012 and is recorded as a long-term
note payable on the consolidated financial statements.
 
 During
2007, the Company incurred a $500,000 note payable to the previous owners of
eTec through the acquisition of eTec. The loan is payable in ten monthly
installments of $50,000 each. See note 4 for details. As of September 30, 2009,
$ 235,253 was owed and recorded as an accrued liability for purchase price on
the consolidated financial statements.
 
 During
2007, the Company acquired a note payable in the acquisition of eTec. The note
related to a vehicle that was also acquired in the acquisition. As of September
30, 2008 the vehicle had been sold and the related note payable was paid in
full.
 
 NOVEMBER
AND DECEMBER 2007 DEBENTURES & SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS
 
 In
November and December of 2007, the Company received gross proceeds of $5,000,000
in exchange for a note payable of $5,882,356 as part of a private offering of 8%
Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”).  The debentures were
convertible into common stock at $0.30 per share. Debenture principal payments
were due beginning in May and June of 2008 (1/24th of the outstanding amount is
due each month thereafter). In connection with these debentures, the Company
issued debenture holders warrants (“the Warrants”) to purchase up to 9,803,925
shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.32. The
warrants were exercisable immediately upon issue. The Warrants were to expire
five years from the date of issue.  The aggregate fair value of the
Warrants equaled $2,272,942 based on the Black-Scholes pricing model using the
following assumptions: 3.39%-3.99% risk free rate, 162.69% volatility, and
strike price of $0.32, market price of $0.22-$0.32, no yield, and an expected
life of 912 days. The gross proceeds received were bifurcated between the note
payable and the warrants issued and a discount of $3,876,256 was recorded. The
discount is being amortized over the loan term of two and one half years.
 As of December 31, 2008, a total of $1,797,419 had been amortized and
recorded as interest expense and $2,078,836 remained as the unamortized
discount. At September 30, 2009 a total of $2,944,995 had been amortized and a
balance of $931,261 remains in unamortized discount. See note 8 for additional
discussion regarding the issuance of warrants.
 
 AUGUST
2008 AMENDMENT TO THE DEBENTURES
 On August
29, 2008 the Company signed an Amendment to the Debenture agreements deferring
the payments indicated above. The purpose of the agreement was to provide the
Company time to fund its working capital requirements internally through organic
growth as well as to obtain both short and long term funding through equity
financing and other sources of capital.

      For both of these acquisitions the Sellers were issued shares which the
      Company guaranteed would be worth $1.00 per share for the thirty days
      prior to the anniversary date of the purchase. This guarantee requires the
      issuance of additional shares or payment in cash for the difference in the
      share price on the respective anniversary dates. In the case of Innergy,
      the number of required “true up” shares was capped at
      4,000,000.H.

  IMPACT OF
THE AUGUST 2008 WAIVER PROVISIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
 During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 the impact to the financial statements
for the provisions of the waiver noted above were estimated, and the portion
attributable to the year ended December 31, 2008 was initially capitalized as
prepaid financing charges (see details in #1 through #3 below) and then
subsequently expensed over the waiver period ending December 31,
2008.
 
 1.
                The
      increase to principal of $1,559,859 (see letter “C” above) was added to
      the long term note, $1,157,315 was capitalized in prepaid financing
      charges and the portion of the increase attributable to the nine month
      period ending September 30, 2008 of $402,544, less previously accrued
      interest (now incorporated in the principal) of $191,438 was charged to
      interest expense. The capitalized remainder of $1,157,315 was charged to
      interest expense in the year ended December 31,
  2008.
 
 2.
                  The
      estimated change in value of the original 9,803,925 debenture warrants
      related to the pending reset of the exercise price (see letter “G” above)
      was calculated by using the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for the
      most recent 30 days prior to September 30, 2008 of $0.08 as the estimated
      new exercise price following the reset and the warrants were valued first
      at their current exercise price then at the estimated new price using the
      Black Scholes Model using the following assumptions: Strike Price $0.32
      (old) and $0.08 (new), Stock Price $0.10 (price on date of agreement),
      time 780 days for November Warrants and 795 for December Warrants,
      Volatility 146.39%, Risk Free Interest Rate 3.83%. The increase in value
      calculated totaled $207,941. Of the total, $154,279 was capitalized as
      prepaid financing costs and was amortized over the waiver period ending
      December 31, 2008.

 3.
                The
      estimated number of additional warrants required to be issued to true up
      to the original aggregate exercise price for the November and December
      Warrants (see letter “G” above) following the reset of the exercise price
      was calculated using the difference between the current aggregate exercise
      price of $3,137,256 (9,803,925 total warrants at original exercise price
      $0.32), and the new aggregate exercise price of $784,314 following the
      reset of the exercise price to $0.08. This difference totaled $2,352,942
      requiring the issuance of an estimated 29,411,775 warrants (at $0.08) to
      maintain the previous aggregate exercise price. The new warrants were
      valued at $1,438,235 using the Black Scholes Model with the following
      assumptions: Strike Price $0.08, Stock Price $0.07 (price at September 30,
      2008), time 753 days, Volatility 146.39%, Risk Free Rate 3.83%. Of the
      total, $1,067,077 was capitalized as prepaid financing costs and was
      amortized over the waiver period ending December 31,
  2008.
  IMPACT OF
OCTOBER 2008 TRUE-UP (REQUIRED BY THE AUGUST 2008 WAIVER) TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
 On
October 17, 2008, a purchase price true up with Innergy was completed, whereby
we satisfied our purchase price obligation to Innergy in the form of a share
issuance (please see Note 4 for details).  This share issuance
triggered the make whole provision in the debenture waiver (letter “G” above)
which required us to immediately reset their warrant exercise price of $0.15 to
$0.06, as well as to change their debt conversion rate from the previous $0.15
to $0.06.  This true up also required the issuance of new warrants to
allow the denture holders to maintain their previous aggregate exercise price
following the update.  The calculations for this change to our
debenture debt is outlined below.  All related charges were
immediately charged to interest expense.
 
 1.
                The
      estimated change in value of the restated  debenture warrants
      related to the reset of the exercise price (see letter “G” above) was
      calculated by using the stock price employed for the Innergy true up
      calculation of $0.06 as the new exercise price following the reset and the
      warrants were valued first at their current exercise price then at the
      estimated new price using the Black Scholes Model using the following
      assumptions: Strike Price $0.08 (old) and $0.06 (new), Stock Price $0.10
      (price on date of agreement), time 780 days for November Warrants and 795
      for December Warrants, Volatility 146.39%, Risk Free Interest Rate 3.83%.
      The increase in value calculated totaled $35,001 and was charged to
      interest expense.2.
                The
      estimated number of additional warrants required to be issued to true up
      to the previous aggregate exercise price for the November and December
      Warrants (see letter “G” above) following the reset of the exercise price
      was calculated using the difference between the previous aggregate
      exercise price of $0.08 and the new aggregate exercise price following the
      reset to $0.06. This change required the issuance of an additional
      8,351,491 warrants to maintain the previous aggregate exercise price. The
      change in value of the old vs. the  new increased number of
      warrants was ($445,061) using the Black Scholes Model with the following
      assumptions: Strike Price $0.06, Stock Price $0.04 (price at December 31,
      2008), time 753 days, Volatility 146.39%, Risk Free Rate 3.83%. The
      reduction in value (due to the lower stock price) was charged to interest
      expense.
 
 MARCH
2009 AMENDMENT TO THE DEBENTURES
 On
March 5, 2009 we entered in to an Agreement entitled “Amendment to Debentures

 IMPACT OF
THE MAY 2009 WAIVER PROVISIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
 In the
quarter ended June 30, 2009, the financial impact of the May waiver was
calculated and is being amortized as noted below, over the waiver period of May
15, 2009 through December 31, 2009.
 
 1.
                  The
      change in value of the restated debenture warrants related to the
      reset of the exercise price (see #9 above) was calculated using the Black
      Scholes Model using the following assumptions: Strike Price $0.06 (old)
      and $0.01 (new), Stock Price $0.11 (price on date of agreement), time
      162.34 days Volatility 162.34%, Risk Free Interest Rate 3.10%. The
      increase in value calculated totaled $887,843.  This amount was
      added to additional paid in capital, and a contra-equity account
      for  “Unamortized Financing Charges” was established as the
      offset.  The portion of the Unamortized Financing Charges” that
      was charged to interest expense through September 30, 2009 was $532,706
       The remaining $355,137 will be expensed over the remainder of the
      waiver period (October through December 2009).2.
                  The
      number of additional warrants  to be issued to support the
      requirement of an 80% equity position as described in #8 above was
      calculated as follows:  Total Debenture warrants outstanding
      prior to the waiver = 52,287,599 + shares available on debenture
      conversion 122,767,526 = 175,055,125 Total Fully Diluted Debenture Holder
      Ownership Pre-Waiver.  Total Company Fully Diluted Shares at May
      15, 2009 of 860,870,856 was used as the base on which to calculate the 80%
      ownership target  of  688,696,685
      shares.  To determine the warrants to be issued the 80% target
      figure of 688,696,685 less total Debenture Holder Ownership of 175,055,125
      resulted in 513,641,559 (additional warrants to be issued).  To
      value the new warrants we used the market cap at the date of the issuance
      calculated as shares outstanding at May 15, 2009 of 161,906,194 multiplied
      by the closing share price of  $0.11 =
      $17,809,681.  To get the portion of the market
      cap  attributable to the new warrants (vs. those already held by
      the debenture holders ) we divided the # of new warrants (513,641,559) by
      the total 80% ownership target number of shares for the debenture holders
      (686,696,685)  to get (75%).  The 75% was multiplied
      by  80% total ownership %, and the resulting 60% was then
      multiplied by the total market cap to get the portion of the market cap
      attributable to the new issuance of  $10,626,208. This amount
      was added to additional paid in capital, and a contra-equity account for
      “Unamortized Financing Charges” was used as the
  offset.
  The
portion of the Unamortized Financing Charges that was charged to interest
expense through September 30, 2009 was $6,375,725.  The remaining
$4,605,619 will be expensed over the remainder of the waiver period (October
through December 2009).
 
 JUNE
2009 Amendment to the MAY Amendment to the Debentures
 In
addition the debenture holders and the Company signed a First Amendment to
Amendment to Debentures and Warrants, Agreement and Waiver dated June 30,
2009.  This amendment modified the May 15, 2009 Amendment
by:
 
 a.
                Increasing
      approval authority for specified transactions for the November and
      December 2007 and July 2009 Debenture Holders to 85% from 75% of
      outstanding principal amount.
 
 b.
                Clarifying
      whom has Board of Director member
rights
 
 c.
                Clarifying
      the June 30, 2009 warrant true-up calculation, per the May 15, 2009
      Amendment.
 
 Impact of
the provisions of the June Amendment to the financial statements:
 There was
no impact to the financial statements related to the June amendment to the May
15, 2009 amendment.
  18
  The current portion of the debentures
is recorded, net of a $931,261 discount, is $6,794,992 at September 30,
2009.  The long-term portion of the debentures is $858,472 as of
September 30, 2009.
 
 Included
in accrued interest is $466,107 of accrued interest relating to the debentures
at September 30, 2009.
 
 On August
29, 2008, Mr. Donald Karner, a director of the Company, and Kathryn Forbes
agreed to provide the Company a line of credit for up to $650,000. This Line was
secured by a second position on receivables (junior to previously issued
debentures). During the year ended December 31, 2008, $450,000 was advanced by
Mr. Karner and Ms. Forbes. Further advances above $450,000 were contingent on
the Company securing additional financing as agreed by October 26, 2008. This
line carried a loan fee of $45,000 payable when the line expires.  The
line was originally scheduled to expire December 15, 2008, but was extended
to October 1, 2009 by the Lenders.  In consideration of the
extension, an interest fee of $50,000 was paid to the Lenders in December
2008.  The fee of $45,000 was expensed in full as of December 31,
2008.  The balance of the note payable in the amount of  $450,000
was paid  at July 7, 2009.
 
 On
January 30, 2009 a purchase price true up with Edison was completed, whereby we
satisfied our purchase price obligation to Edison in the form of a share
issuance (please see Note 4 for details).  This share issuance
triggered the make whole provision in the debenture waiver (letter “G” above)
which required the issuance of new warrants to allow the debenture holders to
maintain their previous aggregate exercise price following the
update.   This calculation resulted in the issuance of an additional
4,720,408 warrants (at $0.06) to maintain the previous aggregate exercise price.
The change in value of the old vs. the new increased number of warrants was
$124,147 using the Black Scholes Model consistent with the Innergy true
up.  The cost of the increased warrants of $124,147 was charged to
interest expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
 
 JULY
2009  New Debenture Issuance
 
 To
support ECOtality’s expansion and current working capital needs, the Company
also received effective July 2, 2009 a direct investment of $2,5000,000 in 8%

              Are

      the agreement  to increase the number of the Company’s
      authorized common shares from 300,000,000 to

              Restate
      the covenants established in the May 15, 2009 Amendment and the Karner
      “carve-out” should certain “Stimulus” contract targets not be achieved. In
      accordance with the terms of the May 15 Amendment, the Company and Karner
      agreed that if Karner continues to remain a full-time employee, and The
      Company (with Karner’s assistance) fail to secure executed Stimulus
      Contracts (as defined in the May 15 Amendment) having an aggregate total
      contract value of $20,000,000 or more during the period from May 15, 2009
      through October 1, 2009, then The Company  must, on or prior to
      October 9, 2009, transfer ownership of all stock and assets of The Clarity
      Group, Inc. to Karner.
                (NOTE
      - on September 30,2009 contracts totaling in excess of  $20
      million so this carve out provision is no longer
  valid).
  Interest
expense totaled $5,172,128 and $1,109,666 for the quarter ended September 30,
2009 and 2008 respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30,

The First
Management Incentive Target as defined in our May 15, 2009 Debenture Waiver
Agreement was defined as the signing of a contract valued at $20,000 000 or more
on or before October 1, 2009.  This target was reached on September
30,2009 with the signing of our contract with the Department of
Energy.  Upon reaching this target the Company became obligated issue
a number of warrants (“First
Management Penny Warrants”) to Jonathan Read, President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, equal to 5% of the fully diluted number of
shares of common stock of the Company as of the applicable Target Date (defined
as the signing date or October 1st, whichever occurred earlier), having an
exercise price of $0.01, which warrants were to be in the same form as the
Warrants of the Existing Holders (as amended).  This obligation was
accrued on September 30, 2009 as follows:  The number of warrants to
be issued was calculated using the fully diluted number of shares on the target
date of September 30, 2009 of  859,948,007 multiplied by 5% to get
42,997,400 as the number of warrants to be issued.  These warrants
were valued using the Black Scholes valuation model with the following
factors:  Strike Price $0.01, Stock Price (at September 30, 2009)
$0.19, time 900 days, volatility 255.63% and risk free rate of 2.31% to yield a
value per warrant of $0.1885.  The total award = $0.1885 x 42,997,400
= $8,105,010.  These warrants have been accrued and expensed to
compensation in the three months ended September 30, 2009,  but have
not been issued as of the date of this filing. This award has been subsequently
modified in the Third Amendment to the Amendment to Debentures and Warrants
Agreement and Waiver signed on October 31, 2009.  The modifications in
the Third amendment call for the replacement of the original award with the
issuance of a fixed number (40,410,312 shares or rights to acquire shares) of
any of the following or a combination thereof:  common
stock,  preferred shares or options to acquire shares at fair market
value on the date of grant. In accordance with the guidance in 718-20-35-(3-8)
of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Compensation - Stock
Compensation), we have accrued based on the value of the original award. The
modification of the award in October will be treated as an exchange of the
original award for a new award. Once the award is firmly defined, any
incremental compensation cost for the new award will be recorded.

The
November and December debenture warrants issued in year ending December 31, 2007
were covered by the 2008 Debenture Waiver documents and as such were subject to
the reset provisions outlined in Note 6 (A-I).  In October 2008 these
warrants were reset to an exercise price of $0.08 and additional “make whole”
warrants were issued to allow the denture holders to true up to the previous
aggregate exercise price (original number of warrants extended at previous
higher exercise price vs. the lower true up price triggered by the Innergy true
up make whole provision.).  This reset led to the issuance of an
additional 29,411,775 warrants attributable to the November and December
Warrants with an exercise price of $0.08.





The
November and December debenture warrants were reset a second time in October
2008 from $0.08 to $0.06 due to the Innergy True Up outlined in Note 6 and an

issued.

outstanding.





A third
reset of the November and December debenture warrants occurred in January 2009
due to the Edison True up outlined in Note 6.  This reset led to the
issuance of an additional 4,720,408 warrants attributable to the November and
December Warrants with an exercise price of $0.06.





As of
March 31, 2009 there were 62,559,137 options and warrants
outstanding.

On May
15, 2009 the November and December debentures were amended as outlined in Note
6.  As a result, the existing warrants were reset from $0.06 to $0.01

Note
10 – Segment Reporting





SFAS No. 131,
“Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires
disclosures related to components of a company for which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by a company’s chief
operating decision maker in deciding the allocation of resources and assessing
performance.  Upon completion of FuelCellStores.com, Innergy Power
Corporation, Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation (eTec) and eTec’s
Minit-Charger business acquisitions from June through December 2007, the Company
identified its segments based on the way management expects to organize the
Company to assess performance and make operating decisions regarding the
allocation of resources.   In accordance with the criteria in
SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information,” the Company has concluded it has three reportable segments for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30 2009; ECOtality Stores segment,
Innergy Power segment and eTec segment. The ECOtality Stores segment is the
online marketplace for fuel cell-related products and technologies with online
distribution sites in the U.S., Japan, Russia, Italy and Portugal
..  The Innergy Power segment is comprised of the sale of solar
batteries and other solar and battery powered devices to end-users. The eTec
segment relates to sale of fast-charge systems for material handling and airport
ground support applications to the testing and development of plug-in hybrids,
advanced battery systems and hydrogen ICE conversions and consulting
revenues.  This segment also includes the Minit-Charger business which
relates to the research, development and testing of advanced transportation and
energy systems with a focus on alternative-fuel, hybrid and electric vehicles
and infrastructures.  eTec holds exclusive patent rights to the eTec
SuperChargeTM and Minit-Charger  systems - battery fast charge systems
that allow for faster charging with less heat generation and longer battery life
than conventional chargers.  The Company has aggregated these
subsidiaries into three reportable segments: ECOtality/Fuel Cell Store, eTec and
Innergy.





The
accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies in Note 3 of this Form 10-Q
Management continues to assess how it evaluates segment performance, and
currently utilize income (loss) from operations, excluding share-based
compensation (benefits), depreciation and intangibles amortization and income
taxes.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
inter-segment sales were $28,723 and $0.  All inter-segment sales have
been eliminated in the consolidation process.

NOTE
11 – Related Party Transactions




On August
29, 2008, Mr. Donald Karner, a director of the Company, and Kathryn Forbes
agreed to provide the Company a line of credit for up to $650,000. This Line is
secured by a second position on receivables (junior to previously issued
debentures). During the 9 months ended September 30, 2008, $300,000 was advanced
by Mr. Karner and Ms. Forbes. This line carried a loan fee of $45,000 payable
when the line expired on December 15, 2008. No other interest payments or fees
were required under the agreement. The fee of $45,000 was expensed over the life
of the Line. Imputed interest of $1,425 and financing charges of $6,962 were
expensed in the 9 month period ending September 30, 2008.  The balance of
the note payable of $450,000 was paid July 9, 2009.

Note
12 – Subsequent Events





Management
has evaluated all events and transactions that have occurred subsequent to the
balance sheet date and has determined that all material events which have
occurred as of November 19, 2009, that would be deemed significant or require
recognition or additional disclosure have been disclosed below:





Brookstreet
Broker Warrants





As
described in footnote 8, the Company issued warrants to several brokers at
Brookstreet Capital  in conjunction with a private offering conducted
during the period July-October 2006.  The warrants prepared by
independent legal counsel were not well written in terms of anti-dilution
provisions and it was believed that no adjustment to the number of warrants or
their exercise price was required unless all common stock holders were adjusted
accordingly.  However, on October 23, 2009 it was determined that an
adjustment should be made for these warrants.





On
October 23, 2009 we determined that the Brookstreet warrant holders should be
permitted to exercise their warrants at a price of $ .01 per share in a cashless
exercise and receive shares of the Company's $.001 par value common stock with
the restricted legend removed.  In addition each warrant holder was
also eligible to receive one new warrant ($.01 exercise price) for every five
(5) of their original warrants exercised.  These new warrants would be
subject to the provisions of Rule 144. Substantially all the affected 5,421,537
warrants  have been exercised as of the date of this
filing.





Securities
Exchange Agreement





On
October 31, 2009, Ecotality, Inc. (“Ecotality” or the “Company”) signed a
Securities Exchange Agreement with all holders of its convertible
debentures and holders of certain warrants to convert all outstanding
amounts ($9,111,170) under these debentures and all related warrants into an
aggregate of 9,270,804  shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
(while not impacted by the current common stock split discussed herein, it could
be subject to adjustment for future forward and reverse stock splits, stock
dividends, recapitalizations and the like). The Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock has no redemption or preferential dividend rights, but may be
converted into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common
Stock”).  At the date of this filing the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock is convertible at a1:60 ratio.  Following the reverse
split of common shares (see below) the preferred shares will be convertible at a
1:1 ratio.





Concurrent
with the signing of the Securities Exchange Agreement, the Ecotality Board of
Directors approved a 1:60 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of its
common stock and authorized Company management to affect the Reverse Split after
providing the required notice to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(FINRA).  The Reverse Stock split was approved by shareholders at the
August 26, 2009 Annual Shareholder Meeting.  In addition, the Board
authorized Company management to submit an application to be listed on The
NASDAQ Stock Market after affecting the Reverse Split. There can be no assurance
that the Company can meet the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock
Market.





The
descriptions of the terms and conditions of the Securities Exchange Agreement
and the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are qualified in their
entirety by the full text of the Securities Exchange Agreement and Certificate
of Designation, which are attached as Exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.  The issuance of the securities in the transaction
described above will be effected without registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof
or Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder based on the status of each investor as
an accredited investor as defined under the Securities Act, and such transaction
will be effected without using any form of general advertising or general
solicitation as such terms are used in Regulation D.





Securities
Purchase Agreement





On
October 31, 2009, Ecotality signed a Securities Purchase Agreement and a
Registration Rights Agreement with certain accredited investors (the
“Investors”) pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase shares of the
Common Stock at a pre-Reverse Split purchase price of $0.12 per
share.  The funds from the private placement will be utilized as
working capital to support the initial requirements of the contract signed with
the Department of Energy on September 30, 2009.





Terms of
the private placement include:


1.
            A
      minimum aggregate purchase of $15,500,000 of Common Stock by the
      Investors.





26





2.
            Each
      Investor will receive a Warrant to purchase the equivalent number of
      shares of Common Stock that it purchases under to the Securities Purchase
      Agreement.  The exercise price of the Warrants will be equal to
      $0.15 per share (pre-Reverse Split).  The Company may call the
      Warrants if the closing price of shares of the Common Stock is at least
      $0.45 per share (pre-Reverse Split) for 20 consecutive trading days,
      subject to certain conditions, including the existence of an effective
      registration statement for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
      exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) and minimum volume
      provisions.  The Company may not affect any exercise of the Warrants
      in an amount that would result in any Investor or  its
      affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding Common
      Stock upon such an exercise.  The Warrants will have a five-year
      term during which they can be exercised and shall contain a cashless
      exercise provision which shall apply if there is not an effective
      registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon
      exercise.


3.
              The
      Company shall file a shelf registration statement for the resale of the
      shares of Common Stock purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement
      and the Warrant Shares on Form S-3 or another appropriate form (the
      “Registration Statement”).  Such Registration Statement shall be
      filed as soon as practicable, but in any event within 45 days of the
      closing date of the Securities Purchase
  Agreement.




4.
            The
      Investors have agree not to exercise “short sales” for a period of
      9-months after the date of the Securities Purchase
    Agreement.





5.
            The
      Company will initiate the process to effect the Reverse Split prior to the
      closing, and the Company will submit its application to be listed on The
      NASDAQ Stock Market as soon as possible thereafter. The Company is
      obligated to consummate the Reverse Split within 30 days of the date of
      the Securities Purchase Agreement.





In the
period from October 1, 2009 through November 16th, the following equity
issuances were recorded:





38,899,997 shares
of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock  were issued
for  the cashless exercise by our debenture holders
of  41,373,371 warrants  with an exercise price of $0.01 as
follows:  Enable Growth exercised 14,871,192 warrants in exchange for
13,939,997 shares,  Enable Opportunity exercised 1,749,552 warrants in
exchange for 1,640,000 shares, Pierce Diversified Master Fund exercised 874,776
warrants in exchange for 820,000 shares and  BridgePointe Master Fund
exercised 23,877,851 warrants in exchange for 22,500,000 shares.





5,777,969 shares
of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock  were issued
for  the cashless exercise by various Brookstreet Warrant holders
of  6,202,363 warrants  with an exercise price of
$0.01.





3,662
shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock were issued to an employee
in accordance with an employment agreement.





Third
Amendment to the Amendment to Debentures and Warrants Agreement and
Waiver





Concurrent
with, or prior to the closing of the transactions under the Securities Exchange
Agreement,  and Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered
into a Third  Amendment to the Amendment to Debentures and Warrants,
Agreement and Waiver dated May 15, 2009 with the debenture holders
..  This amendment modified the issuances to be made on the
satisfaction of the first, second and third Management Incentive Targets as
defined in the May 15, 2009 Waiver Agreement (sections 30 (a-c).)

subsidiary in Mexico providing manufacturing services for us.





We
operate with a commercial “electro-centric” strategy, targeting only products
and companies involved in the creation, storage, and/or delivery of clean or
renewable electric power. This strategy has resulted in the development and
acquisition of various operating companies.. While focused on electric
transportation infrastructure, we have developed a diversified technology
portfolio that is linked through the ability to deliver comprehensive
electro-centric energy alternatives and solutions. By establishing a
technologically diverse multi-product base we are able to mitigate the
uncertainty of clean technology demands and regulatory changes. Our current
primary focus is to facilitate and execute the development and implementation of
electric vehicle charging infrastructure in anticipation of mass
commercialization of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery
electric vehicles (BEV) in the 2010 to 2012 timeframe.




Electric
Transportation Engineering Corporation (eTec)





Electric
Transportation Engineering Corporation (eTec) was incorporated in Arizona in
1996 to support the development and installation of battery charging
infrastructures for electric vehicles. As  our  primary
operating  subsidiary, eTec is a recognized leader in the research,
development and testing of advanced transportation and energy systems, and is
the exclusive provider of the Minit-Charger line of battery fast-charge systems
and technologies.  Specializing in alternative-fuel, hybrid and
electric vehicles and infrastructures, eTec offers consulting, technical support
and field services and is committed to developing and commercially advancing
clean electric technologies with clear market advantages.




eTec’s
primary product line consists of the Minit-Charger line of battery fast-charge
systems. The Minit-Charger brand is the result of a consolidation of the two
leading fast-charging technologies:eTec
SuperChargeTM    andEdison
Minit-Charger   . Prior to rebranding all eTec fast-charge
systems under the Minit-Charger brand, eTec held exclusive patent rights to the
flagship product line,eTec SuperChargeTM    - battery
fast-charge systems that allow for rapid charging while generating less heat and
promoting longer battery life than conventional chargers. TheeTec SuperCharge
  technology was licensed to eTec from Norvic Traction in 1999.
TheeTec
SuperCharge   system was specifically designed for airport
ground support equipment, neighborhood and on-road electric vehicle, and marine
and transit system operations. Since the acquisition of the technology, eTec has
made considerable engineering and product advancements and is currently a leader
in providing these clean electric fast-charging technologies to airports
throughout North America.





In 2007,
we acquired the Minit-Charger business of Edison Source, a division of Edison
International . The coreMinit-Charger   technology allows for material handling
equipment to convert to electric power systems that can be charged quickly,
conveniently and efficiently, thereby eliminating the need for propane or
diesel-powered equipment or for backup batteries and costly change-out
operations required with traditional straight-line charging..eTec’s
Minit-Charger   line of battery fast charge systems has a large
customer base that consists of Fortune 500 companies and other corporate
entities throughout North America.





In March
of 2008, all eTec fast-charging products, including theeTec SuperCharge product
line, were consolidated under theeTec
Minit-Charger   brand. By unifying the underlying fast-charging
technologies under a single engineering, manufacturing and sales entity (eTec
Minit-Charger   ), we are better able to streamline our
operations and sales and marketing efforts. The complete portfolio ofeTec
Minit-Charger   products provides eTec with a leadership
position in current fast charging markets and well positions us to capitalize on
the rapidly growing clean technology sector for electric vehicle infrastructure
technologies. We believe Minit-Charger is the most superior fast-charge
technology on the market as it is a smart charging system that can charge
batteries (of almost all chemistries) as fast as possible, while best
controlling the battery temperature and avoiding the devastating effects of
overcharging.

eTec has
a comparatively long history in clean and renewable technologies and has various
standing contractual relationships as a test contractor and/or primary and
consulting engineer for projects with the United States Department of Energy
(DoE), several national research laboratories, national energy storage
consortiums, and large electric utilities where they provide services in energy
storage, monitoring, systems design and fabrication, product and vehicle
testing, and product development. Their work has been in the areas of electric
vehicle systems, recharging stations, energy demand management systems, utility
communication systems, advanced battery technologies, fast charging
technologies, hydrogen creation, storage and dispensing systems, and coal
gasification programs. Currently, eTec is holds the exclusive contract for the
DoE’s Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity (AVTA) program  and has
conducted more than 6 million miles of vehicle testing on more than 200 advanced
fuel vehicles.





eTec was
acquired as an expansion platform for its core expertise in battery
technologies, fast charging systems, energy distribution infrastructure, and
advanced vehicle technologies and testing, which includes electric vehicle (EV),
hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and
hydrogen vehicle technologies. We believe that eTec will expand its core
technologies through new product development, joint ventures, acquisitions and
organic growth. As eTec has unparalleled experience with electric vehicle
infrastructure, we believe our experience with electric vehicles infrastructure,
our knowledge of the vehicle and battery systems, as well as our industry
leading fast-charging technology provides us with a distinct competitive
advantage to be leading provider of electric vehicle infrastructure services and
installation.





eTec has
been involved in every North American EV initiative to date and is a leading
provider of solutions for electric vehicles and its supporting infrastructure.
Currently, eTec has installed more than 5,100 charging stations for motive
applications, and has installed more chargers for on-road applications than any
other company in North America





On
August 5, 2009 eTec  was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy for a
grant of approximately $95 million to undertake the largest deployment of
electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure in U.S.
history.   eTec, as the lead applicant for the proposal,
partnered with Nissan North America to deploy EVs and the charging
infrastructure to support them. The Project takes advantage of the early
availability of the Nissan LEAF, a zero-emission electric vehicle, to develop,
implement and study techniques for optimizing the effectiveness of charging
infrastructure that will support widespread EV deployment. The Project will
install electric vehicle charging infrastructure and deploy up to a total of
4,700 Nissan battery electric vehicles in strategic markets in five states:
Arizona, California, Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington.





The
Project will collect and analyze data to characterize vehicle use in diverse
topographic and climatic conditions, evaluate the effectiveness of charge
infrastructure, and conduct trials of various revenue systems for commercial and
public charge infrastructure. With the goal of developing mature charging
environments, the Project proposes to deploy charging infrastructure in major
population areas that include Phoenix (AZ), Tucson (AZ), San Diego (CA),
Portland (OR), Eugene (OR), Salem (OR), Corvallis (OR), Seattle (WA), Nashville
(TN), Knoxville (TN) and Chattanooga (TN). To support the Nissan EV, the Project
will install approximately 11,000  Level 2 (220V) charging systems and
250 Level 3 (fast-charge) systems.

HydralityTM





HydralityTM
is a complex reactor system that stores and delivers hydrogen on-demand
using magnesium compounds and water. The EPC/Hydrality technology, which was
initially developed in conjunction with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
and subsequently advanced by Arizona State University , Green Mountain
Engineering and Airboss Aerospace, Inc. continues to have strong promise for a
variety of commercial applications. While we initially sought to design and
license a cost efficient Hydrality system for use in motorized vehicles and
industrial equipment, we have identified several additional and promising
applications for Hydrality that include stationary applications for remote
power, back-up power systems, and large scale industrial and utility
use.




Organizational
History




We were
incorporated in Nevada in 1999 under the name Alchemy Enterprises, Ltd. to
market biodegradable products.  On November 14, 2006, we changed our
name to “ECOtality, Inc.” to better reflect our renewable energy
strategy.





On
June 12, 2006, we entered into a License Agreement with California
Institute of Technology (CalTech), which operates Jet Propulsion Laboratory
(JPL), whereby we acquired certain exclusive licensed patent and/or patent
applications rights and improvement patent rights related to research performed
under the JPL Task Plan No. 82-10777, entitled “Mechanically-Fed Metal-Air
Fuel Cell As A High Energy Power Source” (“Task Plan”), as well as a
nonexclusive licensed technology rights developed as a result of the Task Plan.
 As partial consideration paid in connection with the License Agreement, we
issued 5,869,565 shares of our common stock to CalTech with a fair market value
of $1.40 per share, based upon the closing price of our common stock on
June 12, 2006, for a total aggregate value of $8,217,391.
 Furthermore, we are obligated to pay an annual maintenance fee of $50,000
to CalTech, beginning on June 12, 2009, continuing until the expiration,
revocation, invalidation or unenforceability of the last exclusively licensed
patent rights or improvement patent rights.  The License Agreement carries
a perpetual term, subject to default, infringement, expiration, revocation or
unenforceability of the License Agreement and the licenses granted
thereby.





On
June 11, 2007, we bought the assets of the Fuel Cell Store
(www.FuelCellStore.com), a small web-based seller of educational fuel cell
products. The Fuel Cell Store product line includes demonstration kits,
educational materials, fuel cell systems and component parts.  It also
offers consulting services for establishing educational programs for all levels
of educational institutions.  Since Fuel Cell Store was significantly
smaller than we are, we were not required to provide audited financial
statements for it.  We operate the Fuel Cell Store through our
wholly-owned subsidiary, ECOtality Stores, Inc.  While revenue
producing activities, facilities and employees has initially remained the same,
we have changed the distribution system through inventory control procedures,
and expanded the customer base through increased emphasis on marketing.  We
sell Fuel Cell Store products through our own ECOtality Store’s website (
www.fuelcellstore.com ).





On
October 1, 2007 we closed on the purchase of certain assets of Innergy
Power Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Portable Energy De Mexico,
S.A. DE C.V., pursuant to an agreement that we entered into on September, 18,
2007.  Innergy designs and manufactures standard and custom solar-power and
integrated solar-battery solutions for government, industrial and consumer
applications.  The purchase price for the assets was 3,000,000 shares of
our common stock.  We guaranteed to the sellers that the shares of our
common stock issued in the transaction would be worth $3,000,000 during the 30
day period commencing 11 months from the closing date or we would be required to
either issue additional shares such that the total shares are worth $3,000,000
at that time or pay the seller the difference in cash.  On October 17,
2008, 4,000,000 shares were issued to Innergy Power Corporation in full
satisfaction of our purchase obligation to them.





On
November 6, 2007 we signed an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding
stock of the Clarity Group, Inc. and its affiliate, Electric Transportation
Engineering Corporation (eTec), through a stock purchase agreement.  eTec
provides technical support and field services for all aspects of electric
vehicle infrastructure.  eTec operates as our wholly owned subsidiary and
there have been no changes to the eTec’s management team.




In

the company would be required to either issue additional shares such that the
total shares are worth $2,000,000 at that time or pay cash to the seller so that
the aggregate value of the 2,000,000 shares plus the cash given would equal
$2,000,000.  This purchase price obligation was settled in full on
January 30, 2009 with the issuance of  31,333,333 shares of
Ecotality’s $0.001 par value common stock.




Our
Hydrality System




We have
been developing HydralityTM, a system that stores and delivers hydrogen on-demand
using magnesium compounds and water. When used in conjunction with existing fuel
cell technology, Hydrality emits only pure water and produces no harmful
emissions.




While we
initially sought to design and license a cost efficient Hydrality system for use
in motorized vehicles and industrial equipment, we have identified several
additional promising applications for Hydrality that include stationary
application for remote power, back-up power systems, and large-scale industrial
and utility use as we have described above in our description of our
business.




On
May 7, 2007, a non-provisional patent application was filed by Stinson
Morrison Hecker LLP in the name of California Institute of Technology as
assignee and us as exclusive licensee of the technology, for a Method and System
for Storing and Generating Hydrogen, claiming priority from a provisional
application filed by CalTech on May 8, 2006.  The details of the
patent application and invention are confidential until publication or issue.
 The patent application is generally directed towards the hydrogen reactor
design currently under development.




The
current technology, which is the subject of the pending patent application, is a
method for generating hydrogen in an on-board vehicle reaction chamber to fuel a
fuel cell or modified engine on demand.  The information and diagrams in
the Technology Contribution Agreement and JPL Task Plan involve a metal-air
battery design.  Based on the research of JPL into the metal-air battery
design, the technology has migrated from a basic metal-air battery concept to a
hydrogen reactor.




While we
are now are in the process of investigating and analyzing third-generation
reactor models , we anticipate this to be a long term project given the minimal
amount of funds we are expending on this research and development effort.
 Laboratory-scale test reactors are being used to gather data for the
purpose of characterizing the reactor and constructing analytical design models.
 It is anticipated that patent protection will be sought on one or more
aspects or features of the third-generation reactor.  However, it is not
our stated intent to manufacture reactors. Rather, it is our intent to use the
third-generation reactors to demonstrate the technology, and then license the
technology and/or the reactor design to others for commercialization. The
specifications of the commercial reactors have not yet been determined, and the
designs will vary based on different customer application
requirements.




Status
of any announced new product or service




Throughout
2008, and during the first nine months of 2009, we have focused the Company
on being the leading supplier of electric vehicle infrastructure. We have also
continued to reiterate that although we initially sought to design and license a
cost efficient Hydrality system for use in motorized vehicles and industrial
equipment, we have identified several additional and promising applications for
Hydrality that include stationary applications for remote power, back-up power
systems, and large scale industrial and utility use.





On
August 5, 2009 eTec  was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy for a
grant of approximately $95 million to undertake the largest deployment of
electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure in U.S.
history.   eTec, as the lead applicant for the proposal,
partnered with Nissan North America to deploy EVs and the charging

install electric vehicle charging infrastructure and deploy up to total of 4,700
Nissan battery electric vehicles in strategic markets in five states: Arizona,
California, Oregon, Tennessee, and Washington.

The
Project will collect and analyze data to characterize vehicle use in diverse
topographic and climatic conditions, evaluate the effectiveness of charge
infrastructure, and conduct trials of various revenue systems for commercial and
public charge infrastructure. With the goal of developing mature charging

(TN), Knoxville (TN) and Chattanooga (TN). To support the Nissan EV, the Project
will install approximately 11,000 Level 2 (220V) charging systems and 250 Level
3 (fast-charge) systems.




Stage
of Commercialization of the Hydrality Technology




NASA’s
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), under its agreement with us, has completed
testing of the Hydrality technology on lab-scale models of the reactor resulting
in announced results and improvements. Its research is ongoing on our behalf and
will continue throughout the implementation stages of the technology.
Additionally, we have entered into an agreement with Arizona State University
(ASU) to evaluate potential regeneration technologies and determine cost and
energy efficiencies for converting magnesium oxide, the main byproduct of
Hydrality, back to its original form of magnesium.




Current
transportation industry trends suggest that the commercial viability of hydrogen
fuel cell vehicles remains on the distant horizon (about 10 years away) due to
cost and efficiency problems with underlying fuel cell technologies. Being
reactive and reflexive to these market trends, we have reduced the developmental
costs of Hydrality for transportation applications to pursue additional
applications with immediate commercial applicability in 2009. With the current
shift in the transportation market towards plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) and
pure electric vehicles (EV), we will aggressively explore the use of eTec’s fast
charging systems in PHEV and EV infrastructure applications.  If and when
fuel cell technologies begin to present a practical and economically viable
solution for alternative electric propulsion systems, the Company will be
prepared to capitalize upon the ongoing research and development efforts of
Hydrality to modify the system for use in transportation
applications.





As our
research and development efforts have identified several new and promising
applications for Hydrality that include stationary use, remote power, back-up
power systems, and large scale industrial and utility use, we intend to refocus
our research and development expenditures upon these areas that we determine to
have immediate commercial applicability. While we will target our research and
development efforts primarily on stationary and utility power applications, the
research and testing for large-scale applications of our Hydrality system will
be valuable in further advancing the technology for all applications, including
those of transportation.





In October of 2007,
we announced that we will participate in the Arizona Public Service (APS)
Advanced Hydrogasification Project (AHP).  APS, Arizona’s largest public
utility company, has previously received $8.9 million in funding for this pilot
project from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The objective of this
partnership is to investigate the use of HydralityTM – an on-demand hydrogen
production and storage technology – to support APS’ hydrogasification efforts to
deliver “clean” electricity to the public. The Hydrality testing is currently
estimated to commence in the middle of 2008.  The AHP program is a
collaborative project among APS and industry partners, including the Department
of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), to develop an
economical process of producing substitute natural gas (SNG) from coal without
the release of carbon dioxide, a known greenhouse gas. The APS project will use
hydrogen to react with coal in a high temperature and pressure reaction that
ultimately produces methane that can be injected into existing natural gas
pipelines. Specifically aimed at supporting the AHP hydrogasification efforts,
the project will conduct testing to evaluate the process kinetics and reactor
dynamics of our Hydrality process for large-scale hydrogen production and
storage applications.




We
believe the Hydrality technology has a promising future, but this future was not
as eminent as it was two years ago. There have been dramatic changes in the
hydrogen industry and an absence of expected interrelated product advancements
(i.e. fuel cells). Thus we have determined that the extreme vagaries of the
hydrogen technology industry, the immediate advancement of other renewable
technologies to the commercial forefront, and the potentially long and expensive
road to commerciality and profitability for any hydrogen technology necessitates
us to prudently and significantly scale back all hydrogen expenditures, and
proceed only on the basis of joint development projects or significantly
subsidized development with potential .

As of
September 30, 2009, we had 52 employees including 13 in manufacturing and the
rest in research and development, sales and marketing, and general and
administration positions. None of our employees are represented by labor unions
or covered by a collective bargaining agreement other than our employees in
Mexico. As we expand domestically and internationally, however, we may encounter
employees who desire union representation. We believe that relations with our
employees are good.

Results
of Operations





QUARTER
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009, COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
2008





CONSOLIDATED
RESULTS





Since
January 1, 2008 we have been transitioning ourselves from being a development
stage company to a growth oriented renewable energy company with a focus toward
electric vehicle infrastructure. Beginning January 2009 we initiated additional
efforts to strengthen our financial viability including steps to reduce or
eliminate our debt structure, obtain adequate working capital, establish strong
partnerships and secure federal stimulus contracts. Thus, the variations
reflected in our results of operations described below reflect these steps as
well as this transformation and the impact of the global economic
slowdown.




In the quarter ended September 30,
2009, we had revenues of $1,900,002 compared to the quarter ended September 30,
2008 of $2,900,819.  This reduction in revenue is largely related to
the effect of the slowing economy on our business particularly our industrial
charger sales.  Internally we saw a continued reduction in billable
consulting hours due to the redeployment of resources required to prepare for
the US Department of Energy Stimulus grant proposals awarded during the quarter
ended September 30, 2009. The cost of goods sold percentage for the quarter
ending September 30, 2009 was 54% leaving us with a gross profit of $881,614.
Our gross margin of 46.4% was an improvement over the same period in 2008 of
35.5%.





Total
operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2009 were
$11,394,410 compared to $1,876,300 for the three months ended September 30,
2008.  General and administrative expenses were $11,291,586 or 99% of
total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared
with $1,534,492 or 82% for the three months ended September 30,
2008.  Details around the changes in these expenses are described
below:





Professional
fees were $179,731 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with
$5,665 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  This increase
reflects the additional spending undertaken to generate our proxy, hold our
annual shareholder meeting and to facilitate our recent capital
raise.  New media, marketing, advertising and investor and public
relations expenses were $28,423 for the three months ended September 30, 2009
compared with $93,968 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 with the
decrease primarily attributable to utilizing internal corporate resources for
these functions.  Legal fees were $281,254 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 compared with $62,349 for the quarter ended September 30,
2008.  This increase in legal fees is also attributable to our recent
capital raise and debt restructure.  Accounting fees were $18,500 for
the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared with $25,925 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008.  Executive compensation was $9,308,134 for the
three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $503,038 for the three
months ended September, 2008. This significant increase in executive
compensation reflects the awards to three executive staff members relating to
the Company's success in signing on September 30, 2009, the ~$90 million dollar
contract with the Department of Energy.  These awards are described in
the May 15, 2009 debenture waiver agreement and involve the issuance of equity
in the amount of $8.1 million, and cash payments of $1 million
dollars.  Depreciation expense was $102,224 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 compared to $203,665 for the quarter ended September 30,
2008.  All other general and administrative spending totaled
$1,475,543 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $1,122,547
for the three months ended September 30, 2008.





Expenses
for research and development totaled $602 for the three months ended September
30, 2009compared
to$138,143 for the
three months ended September 30, 2008.   This steep reduction
reflects our continued strategy on applications with short-term
commercialization potential supported through joint projects and grants to help
defray costs. Since one of our primary objectives continues to be the commercial
advancement of clean electric technologies that reduce our dependence upon
carbon based fuels, we have retained a strong focus on research and development
activities, and expect to continue to incur additional research and development
costs, although at a significantly reduced rate, for the foreseeable future, as
reflected in the minimal amount expensed during the third quarter
2009.





Our
operating loss compared negatively with the same period prior year for a loss of
$15,680,502 for the quarter ended September 30 2009 compared with a loss of
$1,564,429 for the quarter ended September  30,
2008.




For the
quarter ended September 30, 2009, we earned interest income in the amount of $0
compared with $616 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.





Interest
expense was $5,172,128 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to
$1,109,666 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The
significantly higher amount for 2009 was driven by the interest on the
convertible debentures we issued in November and December of 2007and were
required to amend given our inability to pay principal and interest during the
period.  We had a gain on disposal of assets of $4,424 in the three
months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a gain on disposal of assets of
$16,165 for the same period in 2008.

NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009, COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
2008





It is
difficult to compare the nine months ended September 2009 results to the same
period in 2008 as during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was a period
of transformation  from being a development stage company to a growth
oriented renewable energy company with four new acquisitions to integrate into a
cohesive whole company. Further compounding any comparison to the nine months
ended September  30, 2009 is the economic downturn experienced by the
US and our company particularly within the industrial sales area. Thus, the
variations reflected in our results of operations described below are based upon
these factors.





In the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had revenues of $6,117,286 compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $8,654,868. The cost of goods sold
percentage for the nine months ending September 30, 2009 was 52.8% leaving us
with a gross profit of $2,884,976. The decrease in revenues in 2009 as compared
to 2008 is a reflection of the effect of the slowing economy on our business
particularly our industrial charger sales.  Internally we saw a
continued reduction in billable consulting hours due to the redeployment of
resources required to prepare the US Department of Energy Stimulus grant
proposals awarded during the quarter ended September 30, 2009





Total
operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were
$14,543,241 compared to $6,186,517 for nine months ended September 30, 2008.
General and administrative expenses were $14,177,947 for nine months ended
September 30, 2009 compared with $5,431,071 for the nine months ended September
30, 2008.  These expenses are described in detail below:




Professional
fees were $207,536 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with
$373,494 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  New media,
marketing, advertising and investor and public relations expenses of
$49,722 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 also shows significant
reduction from prior year of $217,133 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008.  This reduction was accomplished through utilizing Corporate
resources for many of these activities in 2009.  Legal fees were
$497,735 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $394,838 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and accounting fees were $131,822 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $147,481 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. Executive compensation was $9,702,937 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $503,038 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. This significant increase in executive compensation is
attributable to the 3rd quarter executive awards as described in the quarter
ended results presented above.  Depreciation expense was $352,531 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $469,669 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008.  All other general and administrative
spending was 3,588,196 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
3,795,087 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.





Expenses
for research and development totaled $12,763 for the nine months ended September
30, 2009 compared to $285,777 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008. This reduction reflects our focused strategy on applications with
short-term commercialization potential supported through joint projects and
grants to help defray costs. Since a primary objective of the Company continues
to be the commercial advancement of clean electric technologies that reduce our
dependence upon carbon based fuels, we have retained a strong focus on research
and development activities, and expect to continue to incur additional research
and development costs, although at a significantly reduced rate, for the
foreseeable future.




Our
operating loss of $20,304,903 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
compared with the loss of $4,466,242 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 is directly attributable to increased interest expense accrued for the
non-cash impact of the consideration given in return for waivers granted by our
debenture holders as well as the executive compensation detailed above in the
quarter ended September 30, 2009.  The waivers are explained in detail
in Note 6.





For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, we earned interest income in the amount of
$0 compared with $9,778 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008.





Interest
expense was $8,660,823 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to
$2,175,279 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The significantly
higher amount for 2009 was driven by the interest on the convertible debentures
we issued in November and December of 2007 and the related non-cash
consideration for waivers granted by our debenture holders in extended
additional time to make required principal and interest
payments.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources





As of
September 30, 2009, we had $903,640 of cash on hand and held certificates of
deposit in the amount of $0 compared to quarter end 2008 balances of $327,332 of
cash on hand and $28,044 in certificates of deposit.





We had a
use of cash for operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2009
in the amount of $1,524,135 compared to a use of cash in the amount of $110,361
for 2008.   In addition, cash used in investing activities was
$385,726 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a use of cash
of $196,114 for 2008. The use in each year was for the purchase of fixed
assets.





It is
important to understand our complex financing activities since January 1, 2008
as we have endeavored to become a transformational leader in the renewable
energy sector during a period characterized by a lack of capital markets in a
down economy. These activities are described in detail below:





Given
what we believed to be a competitive edge in the fast charger market, as well as
having efficient plant operating capacity in Mexico, we were confident our
strengths in the alternative energy field would allow us to achieve our planned
objectives, and to generate adequate levels of working capital in the second
half  of  2008. These assumptions, however, did not
adequately capture the magnitude nor the speed of the economic down turn and its
subsequent impact in even the alternative energy field. These external forces
restricting growth and access to capital simultaneously resulted in our
financing options being very limited and expensive.





To bridge
this period of restricted capital options required the establishment of a line
of credit and relief from debt service requirements as we continued to pursue
our objectives of raising working capital through equity or other sources.
Following a period of negotiation with our debenture holders, we reached
agreement to waive payment of principal and interest for the period May through
December 31, 2008 to provide us the time needed to begin funding our
requirements internally through planned organic growth and to seek other equity
financing options. The consideration for this waiver/deferment was material to
our fiscal operations but necessary to seeking our growth
objectives.





These
cash management efforts in the year ended December 31, 2008, while adequate for
that period required additional measures, most notably a successful capital
raise and organic growth of our operations to allow us to meet our obligations
going forward. To that end, we have during the nine months ended September 30,
2009 continued to seek additional capital while working with our debt holders
to preclude paying interest and redemption of principal redemption in
exchange for additional time to generate needed working capital.  We
were successful in this endeavor subsequent to September 30, 2009 and have
obtained additional working capital and converted our debt to
equity.





To
support ECOtality’s expansion and current working capital needs, the Company
received effective July 2, 2009 a direct investment of $2,5000,000 in 8% Secured
Convertible Debentures due October 1, 2010. The debentures issued:





a.
            Are
      consistent with the initial debentures issued in November and December
      2007 except this series is secured, convertible rather than original issue
      discount debentures.


b.
            Update
      the original Security Purchase Agreements, Securities Agreements,
      Registration Rights Agreements, Subsidiary Guarantees, and related
      disclosure schedules.


c
            Provide
      for issuance of warrants to Shenzhen Goch Investment Ltd for their capital
      investment and adjusting the warrants held by Enable and BridgePointe
      subject to the June 30, 2009 true up as defined in the May 15,
      2009 Amendment.


d.
            Restate
      the agreement  to increase the number of the Company’s
      authorized common shares from 300,000,000 to
  1,300,000,000.


e.
            Restate
      the covenants established in the May 15, 2009 Amendment and the Karner
      “carve-out” should certain “Stimulus” contract targets not be achieved. In
      accordance with the terms of the May 15 Amendment, the Company and Karner
      agreed that if Karner continues to remain a full-time employee, and The
      Company (with Karner’s assistance) fail to secure executed Stimulus
      Contracts (as defined in the May 15 Amendment) having an aggregate total
      contract value of $20,000,000 or more during the period from May 15, 2009
      through October 1, 2009, then The Company  must, on or prior to
      October 9, 2009, transfer ownership of all stock and assets of The Clarity
      Group, Inc. to Karner.





Management’s
Plan of Operation





Our
overall plan of operation calls for sustained organic growth. We believed that
the acquisitions we completed during 2007 would provide us with a base to
support this objective and this growth was reflected in our budget and business
plans for 2008. As described above, growth consistent with our plans did not
occur in the third and fourth quarters of 2008, nor in the first nine months
of  2009.  Sales of consulting services and manufacturing
revenues have remained at lower than anticipated levels.





However,
with the signing of Securities Exchange Agreements with our debenture holders
and Securities Purchase Agreements with current and new investors on October
31,2009 ,we  have taken the following actions to significantly
strengthen our financial viability:


1.
            Raise
      $20.5 million for working capital in equity financing from original
      investors/debt holders ($15 million) and new investors ($5.5
      million).




37




a.
            This
      funding reflects faith in us by current and new investors and will result
      in positive shareholder equity on our balance
  sheet.




b.
            This
      private offering provides a satisfactory level of working capital to
      support initial requirements of DOE contract awarded to our subsidiary
      eTEC..




2.
            Convert
      $9.08 million of debt on balance sheet to equity (preferred
      shares).




a.
            Eliminates
      debt on balance sheet.




b.
            Preferred
      shares have lockup provisions (9 months), and no, dividends or redemption
      rights.




3.
            Convert
      debt holder warrants to equity (preferred
  shares).




a.
            Eliminates
      warrant dilutive “overhang”.




b.
            Preferred
      shares have lockup provisions (9 months), and no dividends or redemption
      rights.




4.
            Reduce
      existing dilution “blocker” held by debt holders from 65% to
      0%.




a.
            Diminishes
      any control issues by any one share
holder.




b.
            Eliminates
      potential dilution fears with current and future share
      holders.




5.
            Reverse
      split of common shares (1:60).




a.
            Appropriate
      documentation has been submitted to the state of Nevada and FINRA to
      effect the split.




b.
            Establishes
      reasonable number of shares in the publically traded market
      place.




c.
            Prepares
      us for being listed on a national stock
  exchange.




Working
Capital





Net
working capital is an important measure of our ability to finance our
operations.  Our net working capital at September 30, 2009 was negative by
$15,245,550.





We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements.





We
anticipate the need to add significant numbers of full- or part- time employees
over the next 12 months per the award of the Stimulus Department of Energy
related contracts.  We plan to outsource the research and development and
production of our products when cost effective to do so.





Commitments
and Long Term Liabilities





On June
12, 2006, the Company entered into a License Agreement with California Institute
of Technology, whereby the Company obtained certain exclusive and non-exclusive
intellectual property licenses pertaining to the development of an electronic
fuel cell technology, in exchange for 5,869,565 shares of common stock of the
Company with a fair market value of $8,217,391.  The License Agreement
carries an annual maintenance fee of $50,000, with the first payment due on or
about June 12, 2009.  The License Agreement carries a perpetual term,
subject to default, infringement, expiration, revocation or unenforceability of
the License Agreement and the licenses granted thereby.





On
January 19, 2007 we purchased a small (1,750 square feet) stand alone office
building at a cost of $575,615.  A total of $287,959 has been paid and a
tax credit has been recorded in the amount of $156.  The remaining balance
of $287,500 is structured as an interest-only loan from a non affiliated
third-party, bears an interest rate of 6.75% calculated annually, with monthly
payments in the amount of $1,617 due beginning on February 16, 2007. The
entire principal balance is due on or before January 16, 2012.





As of
September 30, 2009, the Company has five leases in effect for operating
space.  Future obligations under these commitments are $76,724 for 2009,
$279,208 for 2010, $237,699 for 2011, $242,759 for 2012 and $64,006 for
2013.

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk





Controls
and Procedures





Conclusion
Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures




We
maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed under the
Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms.
 Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that
this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  We evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end
of the period covered by this report. As a result of this evaluation, we
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the
period ended September 30, 2009.





Changes
in Internal Control





There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.





Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting





Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). These internal controls are
designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information
is presented fairly, that disclosures are adequate and that the judgment
inherent in the preparation of financial statements is reasonable.





Our
management does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls
over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud.
 A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives
will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that
there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered
relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been
detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple
error or mistake. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected.





Management
conducted its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over
financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organization’s of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, we
concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were
effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
