ITEM
1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS




Ecology
Coatings, Inc. (“Ecology-CA”) was originally incorporated in California on March
12, 1990.  OCIS Corp. (“OCIS”) was incorporated in Nevada on
February 6, 2002.  OCIS completed a merger with Ecology-CA on
July 27, 2007 (the “Merger”).  In the Merger, OCIS issued
approximately 30,530,684 shares of common stock to the Ecology-CA
stockholders.  In this transaction, OCIS changed its name from OCIS
Corporation to Ecology Coatings, Inc. and our ticker symbol on the OTC Bulletin
Board association changed to “ECOC.”  As a result of the merger, we
became a Nevada corporation and Ecology-CA became a wholly owned
subsidiary.




Company
Overview




We
develop “clean tech”, nanotechnology-enabled, ultra-violet (“UV”) curable
coatings that are designed to drive efficiencies, reduce energy consumption,
create new performance characteristics and virtually eliminate pollutants in the
manufacturing sector.  We create proprietary coatings with unique
performance and environmental attributes by leveraging our platform of
integrated clean technology products that reduce overall energy consumption and
offer a marked decrease in drying time.




Our
patent and intellectual property activities to date include:




·
            seven
      patents covering elements of our technology from the United States Patent
      and Trademark Office(“USPTO”)




·
            two
      European patents allowed and nine pending patent applications in foreign
      countries




·
            one
      ICT international patent
application




4


·
            three
      trademarks issued by the USPTO – “EZ RecoatTM”, “Ecology CoatingsTM” and
      “Liquid NanotechnologyTM”




·
            200+
      proprietary coatings formulations.




We
continue to work independently on developing our clean technology products
further. Our target markets include electronics, steel, construction, automotive
and trucking, paper products and original equipment manufacturers
(“OEMs”).  Our business model contemplates both licensing and direct
sales strategies.  We intend to license our technology to industry
leaders in our target markets, through which products will be sold to end
users.  We plan to use direct sales teams and third party agents in
certain target markets, such as OEMs, and third party distributors in broad
product markets, such as paper products, to develop our product
sales.





Business
in General


We have
focused on developing products that support inexpensive mass production
utilization of protective coatings that leverage nano-particle clean technology
and are cured under UV light.  We believe that the use of our “Liquid
NanotechnologyTM” coatings represent a paradigm shift in coatings
technology.  While our competitors have focused their efforts on
improving the industry-standard, thermal-cured powder-coat, water-borne and
solvent-based coatings, we have strived for technological
breakthroughs.  We have developed over 200 individual coating
formulations that we believe address the limitations of traditional
coatings.  The USPTO has issued six patents and have allowed a seventh
covering many of these formulations as well as their
application.  Additionally, the formulations that are not currently
patent protected are protected as trade secrets.





Nearly
every manufactured product has a protective coating on it, whether metal,
plastic, glass or an electronic product.  These coatings are important
for providing protection, such as scratch and abrasion resistance, as well as
for enabling added durability and maintenance of the overall aesthetic
appearance of the product.  Coatings that use water or organic
carriers remain the standard in the large OEM coatings
market.  However, the use of traditional, carrier-based coatings
continues to burden manufacturers with cost, performance, and environmental
health and safety disadvantages.





Our
Liquid NanotechnologyTM coatings are 100% solids and UV curable.  They
contain almost no volatile carriers and are generally comprised of polymers that
react to UV light, all of which becomes part of the final coating bound to the
substrate.  Traditional coatings, such as paint, are composed of a
solid resin and a carrier, such as an organic solvent or water, that are used to
adjust the viscosity to allow application.  Thus, during the curing
process the carrier evaporates either by application of heat or air-drying, both
of which require time to complete the process.  Moreover, the
evaporation of the carrier can generate environmentally harmful airborne
emissions.





Our
Liquid NanotechnologyTM coatings offer a number of performance and user benefits
over traditional coatings.  We believe that our 100% solids, UV-cured
industrial products represent the coatings industry’s cutting edge in overall
performance, offering bottom line value and environmental advantages to users
because they:





•
            
            Cure
      faster, usually in seconds, not minutes;•
            
            Use
      less floor space, thereby improving operating
  efficiency;•
            
            Use
      dramatically less energy;•
            
            Reduce
      production compliance burdens with the Environmental Protection Agency
      because our coatings produce fewer emissions;•
            
            Provide
      improved coating and/or substrate performance; and•
            
            Boost
      manufacturing productivity by increasing process
    throughput.

Conventional Low-Tech
Coatings




Many
conventional, low-tech coatings used today require 20 or more minutes of drying
time (either air dried or forced thermal drying).  In the case of air
drying, a process bottleneck can occur, causing reduced production rates. In the
case of thermally induced drying, protective coats can only be applied to
materials able to withstand certain levels of heat.  This requires the
disassembly of many manufactured parts before they can be coated and further
increases the time needed for the coating process to be completed. In either
case, the manufacturing process is characterized by inefficiency, slower
production rates, higher energy costs, increased product costs, and greater
floor space requirements.




There are
other disadvantages with conventional coatings.  In some cases, much
of the applied coating evaporates into the air (solvent based carrier), while
only a fraction of the coating actually remains as a dry coating
film.  In addition, overspray coatings are difficult to reuse or
reclaim, and water-borne systems tend to promote corrosion and
flash-rusting.  Not only is this an inefficient use of the coating, it
is also responsible for the emission of many harmful airborne
toxins.





Our Solution - Clean
Technology





Liquid
NanotechnologyTM, our 100% solids UV-cured industrial coatings clean technology,
addresses all of the issues noted above and provides unique performance
combinations.  We have developed over 200 specific individual coating
formulations that address the limitations of traditional carrier-based
coatings,  some of which are patent protected. Our coatings cure in
less than a minute after application without the use of heat.  This
changes the manufacturing dynamic in four ways.  First, UV curing
eliminates the bottleneck effect and makes product disassembly unnecessary,
increasing the speed with which coated products are produced.  Second,
the use of UV curing eliminates the need for thermal heating equipment and/or
drying space, allowing manufacturers to use less floor space.  Third,
the elimination of thermal heating from the manufacturing process produces
dramatic energy cost savings.  Finally, the use of 100% solids results
in fewer harmful airborne emissions being released during production or
application.





Our clean
technology coatings have other advantages.  Indeed, a crucial
advantage of our products is that they are more cost effective than conventional
coatings.  Our 100% solid coatings offer increased efficiency and
result in minimal wasted product: if a manufacturer needs one mil of dry film
thickness, it need only apply and cure one mil of our coating.





Cleantech
Offerings





Paper – Our paper
coatings provide:





·
            high
      speed curing – seconds, not minutes- compatible with
      high speed print operations e.g. 400 feet per minute on flexographic
      labels and printed packaging


·
            Barrier
      protection – revolutionary thin film properties with tremendous resistance
      to water, gas and chemical barriers and low oxygen
      transmission


·
            Our
      coatings allow the substitution of lower cost paper instead of expensive
      and non-recyclable plastic.  EcoQuickTM coated paper can replace
      polymer laminates on paper, labels and
packaging


·
            Nanotechnology-enhanced
      formulations provide coating performance including superior adhesion and
      abrasion resistance.





Metals-Our metal coatings
provide:





·
            The
      UV curing process uses 80 percent less energy, slashes manufacturing floor
      space by up to 80 percent, and eliminates curing
    bottlenecks.


·
            High
      speed curing – seconds compared to minutes for heat-cured solvent-based
      and powder coatings.


·
            Barrier
      protection –Unique thin film properties such as water and chemical
      resistance, and low oxygen transmission reducing
  corrosion.


·
            Nanotechnology-enhanced
      formulations provide unique coating performance including superior
      adhesion to difficult-to-adhere-to metals with improved scratch
      resistance


·
            Increases
      manufacturing productivity since UV curing uses no heat; so complex
      products containing metal parts with rubber gaskets do not need to be
      disassembled prior to the coating and
curing.


·
            Reduces
      and/or eliminates EPA compliance burden and
  cost.

Plastics-  Our Liquid NanotechnologyTM coatings have improved hardness
and abrasion resistance over conventional carrier-based coatings.  The
coatings are also noteworthy for their ability to achieve either optical clarity
or accept pigments.  Based on laboratory tests, we believe our
formulations offer excellent adhesion to many common plastics, such as
polycarbonate.




Glass-  Our UV curable glass coatings product has achieved solid
optical clarity in both high and low viscosity formulations that have
significant thermal conductivity.  The product also offers adhesion
between separate glass products that is less breakable than a single layer
product.  Potential applications for this technology include
electronics and visible light consumer products.




Electronics - Our
coatings do not contain either water or organic solvents that may damage
delicate electronic components.  Moreover, these coatings are also UV
curable and may be applied and cured without thermal shock to the substrate. We
believe this technology also offers potential for various electronics
applications.




Medical-  We have successfully developed a flexible, urethane based
coating used to bond metal and plastic parts for use on a cardiovascular
device.





License
Arrangements





We have
not yet been successful in generating substantial licensing or sales revenue and
our coatings have yet to be incorporated into manufacturers’
products.  Many of our potential customers require extensive
performance tests of our technology which can take several years to
complete.  In addition, some potential customers are concerned about
our long-term financial viability.  We are unable to make predictions
regarding the timing and size of any future royalty payments and/or product
sales.  With respect to the licenses described below, we believe that
any royalties depend on the licensee’s ability to market, produce and sell
products incorporating our proprietary technology.  We cannot predict
when we will receive any royalty or sales revenue from these licenses, if
ever.





DuPont.  On
November 8, 2004, we licensed our platform automotive technology to
DuPont.  This non-exclusive license covers all of DuPont’s automotive
metal coating activities in North America.  The license is for a term
of fifteen (15) years, terminating on November 8, 2019.  The
license provides for royalty payments at a stated percentage of net
sales.  To date, we have not received any royalty payments pursuant to
this license as our coatings have yet to be incorporated into products by DuPont
and we cannot predict when we will, if ever.  Royalty payments are
entirely dependent on DuPont’s marketing efforts which are beyond our
control.  DuPont is not required under the agreement to incorporate
our coatings into DuPont products.  The license agreement does not
require DuPont to ensure any minimum level of sales using our
coatings.





Red Spot Paint &
Varnish.  On May 6, 2005, we granted Red Spot Paint &
Varnish an exclusive license to manufacture and sell one of our proprietary
products for use on 22 gallon metal propane tanks.  The duration of
this license is fifteen years, terminating on May 6, 2020.  Upon
consummation of the license, Red Spot made a one-time payment of $125,000 to
us.  All of our revenue in 2007 and 2008 was from this one
customer.  The license also provides for royalty payments at a stated
percentage of net sales.  To date, we have not received any royalty
payments pursuant to this license as our coatings have yet to be incorporated
into Red Spot’s products and we cannot predict when we will, if
ever.  Royalty payments are entirely dependent on Red Spot’s marketing
efforts which are beyond our control.  Red Spot is not required under
the agreement to incorporate our coatings into Red Spot products.  The
license agreement does not require Red Spot to ensure any minimum level of sales
using our coatings.





7


Medical Device
Company  On February 3, 2001, we granted a medical device
company a license to use one of our proprietary products on a cardiovascular
application.  All terms of this license are subject to a
confidentiality agreement.  The duration of this agreement is
unlimited except upon breach of the agreement by either party.  The
medical device company paid us a one time licensing fee of $70,000 and
thereafter we will not receive future revenues under this
agreement.





Prior to
reaching a license agreement with a potential customer, we typically work with
the potential customer on a development phase to better understand its needs and
desired performance levels.  A good example of our development phase
is our Collaboration Agreement with Reynolds Innovations Inc. for the
development of a fire standards compliant cigarette.  Although we had
previously developed a unique coating to meet this customer’s needs and had
already passed some initial testing, this Agreement provided for a series of
additional tests that must be satisfactorily passed before our coating was used
in the production of cigarettes.  This development process with
Reynolds could have taken up to two years to complete.  On November
13, 2009, Reynolds terminated the Collaboration Agreement before we completed
any milestone.  No payments or penalties were paid in connection with
the termination.  Both parties faced difficulties in overcoming
manufacturing issues.  Our UV lamps add additional heat in a tightly
controlled (heat and humidity) manufacturing environment.  In addition, no
high-speed sensing equipment exists to verify the coating is in place for every
cigarette produced at the anticipated production speed.   In the face
of manufacturing challenges and large capital expenditures this project would
require, Reynolds terminated the agreement.  As a result of the
termination, we are now free to pursue opportunities with other cigarette and
paper manufacturers.





Marketing
Strategy





Our
target markets include  electronics, automotive and trucking, paper
and packaging products and original equipment manufacturers.  Our
business model contemplates both a licensing strategy and direct sales
strategy.  We intend to license our technology to industry leaders in
the electronics, steel, construction, automotive and medical applications
markets, through which our product will be sold to end users.  We plan
to use direct sales teams in certain target markets, such as OEMs, and third
party distributors in broad product markets, such as paper products, to develop
our product sales. Thus, our key promotional activities may
include:





•
            
            Attendance
      and technical presentations at industry trade shows and
      conventions;•
            
            Internal
      and external sales forces, with a force of industry-specific sales people
      who will identify, call upon and build ongoing relationships with key
      purchasers and targeted industries;•
            
            Fostering
      joint development agreements and other research arrangements with industry
      leaders and third party consortiums;•
            
            Print
      advertising in journals with specialized industry
focus;•
            
            Web
      advertising, including supportive search engines and Web site registration
      with appropriate sourcing entities;•
            
            Public
      relations, industry-specific venues, as well as general media, to create
      awareness of us and our products. This will include membership in
      appropriate trade organizations; and•
            
            Brand
      identification through trade names associated with us and our
      products.




Sales
Strategy




To date,
we have conducted all of our business development and sales efforts through our
senior management team who are active in other roles.  We intend to
build dedicated sales, marketing, and business development teams to sell our
products.  Our initial focus will be either the direct sales of our
products to end users and/or the formation of joint venture arrangements with
established market participants through which our products will be
sold.  We also intend to engage in strategic licensing activities
targeted at key markets.  Eventually, we hope to also use strategic
external sales forces who can extend the reach of our marketing
efforts.




8


Our sales
cycle is often longer than one year.   The sales process begins
with the identification of potential customers in selected markets. If the
customer is interested, the customer will generally send application samples to
us for initial analysis and testing.  We then coat the application
samples using our product. Provided we are able to demonstrate the efficacy of
our product on the application sample to the customer, the customer will then
perform extended durability tests.  In most cases, we are unable to
exert any control or influence over the durability test. Upon conclusion of the
durability test, we plan to work with the customer while it decides whether to
purchase our product.   We did not generate any sales revenues in
fiscal year 2009.




In some
cases, the potential customer will have to modify its coating production line to
add UV curing to replace its thermal curing equipment.  We plan to
work with the customer to assist in the transition of its traditional coating
operations to our technology.  We expect that the customer’s
resistance to change, costs, access to capital, and payback on investment will
be factors in its decision to adopt our technology.




FY 2010
Goals

FY2010 goals, given sufficient capital, are to:


·
              Secure
      a suitable facility and build an enhanced research

Competition




The
industrial coatings industry is extremely competitive.  There are
several hundred sources in the United States of conventional paints and coatings
for general metal use, including major sources such as Akzo Nobel, PPG,
Sherwin-Williams and Valspar, who also offer UV coatings primarily for flooring,
graphics, paper and container lithography applications.  Direct
competition comes from a variety of UV-cure producers such as Allied
Photochemical, Rad-Cure (Altana Chemie), Red Spot (Fujikura), R&D Coatings,
Northwest (Ashland), DSM Desotech, Prime and other small
sources.  Although certain of these competitors offer 100% solids
products, our product technology is unique as demonstrated by our patents and
trade secrets.




Competitive
factors in this industry include ease of use, quality, versatility, reliability,
and cost.  Our primary competitors include companies with
substantially greater financial, technological, marketing, personnel and
research and development resources than we currently have.  We might
not be able to compete successfully in this market.  Further, existing
and new companies may enter the industrial coatings markets in the
future.




Intellectual
Property




Our
ability to compete effectively will depend on our success in protecting our
proprietary technology, both in the United States and abroad.  Our
patent and intellectual property activities to date include:




·
            seven
      patents covering elements of our technology from the United States Patent
      and Trademark Office(“USPTO”)




·
            nine
      pending patent applications in foreign countries. One patent has been
      allowed in China.




·
            one
      ICT international patent
application




·
            three
      trademarks issued by the USPTO – “EZ RecoatTM”, “Ecology CoatingsTM” and
      “Liquid NanotechnologyTM”




·
            200+
      coatings formulations.




9


The USPTO
has issued all patents to Sally J.W. Ramsey, our founder and Vice President for
New Product Development, which she irrevocably assigned to us.




In
addition, we have developed over 200 individual coating
formulations.  We have taken actions to protect these formulations
under trade secret laws.





It is
possible that no additional patents relating to our existing technology will be
issued from the United States or any foreign patent offices, or that we will not
receive any patents in the future based on our continued development of our
technology, or that our patent protection within and/or outside of the United
States will be sufficient to deter others, legally or otherwise, from developing
or marketing competitive products utilizing our technologies.  With
the exception of a patent allowed in China, action with respect to our foreign
patents has been limited to translation of the patent
applications.  In addition to seeking patent protection, we will rely
on trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological advancement to seek to
achieve and thereafter maintain a competitive advantage.  Although we
have entered into or intend to enter into confidentiality agreements with our
employees, consultants, advisors, and other third parties that we are engaged
with, we cannot be certain that such agreements will be honored or that we will
be able to effectively protect our rights to our unpatented trade secrets and
know-how.  Others may independently develop substantially equivalent
proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade
secrets and know-how.





Research and
Development





Most of
our efforts are focused on inventive research to discover new ways to coat
substrates using UV curing.  Those efforts resulted in a variety of
new UV cured coatings and patents and patent applications to protect those
inventions.  Since 2007 most of our commercialization efforts are
related to the application of our cumulative expertise to a different array of
substrates for specific customer applications. By working
closely with potential customers, we believe we position ourselves to better
understand their needs which increases the likelihood they will use our
technology and speed the adoption of our technology in the
marketplace.  During this process, our initial customers and we are
each responsible for costs incurred in the development process.





For
fiscal years 2007, 2008, 2009, we spent approximately $200,000, $275,000 and
$175,000 on research and development, respectively.  This includes
contracted research, salary expenses of Sally Ramsey, our Vice President of New
Product Development, laboratory expenses and raw materials.  During
these three fiscal years, we did not undertake any customer-sponsored research
and development.





Manufacturing





We
presently have a limited manufacturing capacity. We currently have no contracts
in place for the manufacturing of our products.   The raw
materials used in our coatings are liquids and we do not believe such materials
have any negative environmental impact.  Our business is subject to
 many different federal, state, local and foreign governmental regulations
related to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous
substances.  We must conduct our business in compliance with these
regulations.  Any changes in such regulations or any change in our
business that requires us to use hazardous materials, could force us to acquire
costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses to comply with
environmental regulations.  Increasing public attention has been
focused on the environmental impact of manufacturing
operations.  While we have not experienced any adverse effects on our
operations from environmental regulations, and our products are designed to have
no adverse impact on the environment, our business and results of operations
could suffer if for any reason we are unable to comply with present or future
environmental regulations.





Our
principal raw materials suppliers are Cytec Industries, Inc., Chem-Materials
Co., Sartomer Company, Inc., Rahn USA Corp., Evonik and GMZ, Inc.





10


Employees





As of
November 16, 2009, we had five full-time employees.  As of that date,
we had employment agreements with four of our employees.





ITEM
1A.  RISK FACTORS





Prospective
and existing investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in
evaluating our business.  The factors listed below represent the known
material risks that we believe could cause our business results to differ from
the statements contained herein.





RISKS
RELATED TO OUR COMPANY AND OUR BUSINESS





We
have generated minimal revenue and have a history of significant operating
losses





We are a
company that has failed to generate significant revenue as yet.  We
have an accumulated deficit of $22,688,817 as of September 30, 2009, $13,456,402
of this amount is due to non-cash items, including options expense, the issuance
of warrants, beneficial conversion provisions associated with issuances of
preferred stock and certain debt, and stock issued to pay for services,
payables, and debt extensions .  We have a limited operating history
upon which investors may rely to evaluate our prospects.  Such
prospects must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, delays and
complications associated with a business that seeks to generate more significant
revenue.  We have generated nominal revenue to date and have incurred
significant operating losses.  Our operating losses have resulted
principally from costs incurred in connection with our capital raising efforts
and becoming a public company through a merger, promotion of our products, and
from salaries and general and administrative costs.  We have
maintained minimal cash reserves since October 2008 and have relied solely on
additional investment from Equity 11 and from Stromback Acquisition Corporation
(“SAC”).  Neither Equity 11 or SAC is committed to make any additional
investments in us.  We will need to raise additional capital from
Equity 11, SAC or other investors in fiscal year 2010 in order to continue to
fund our operations.




We
have entered the emerging business of nanotechnology, which carries significant
developmental and commercial risk




We have
expended in excess of $1,000,000 to develop our nanotechnology-enabled and other
products.  We expect to continue expending significant sums in pursuit
of further development of our technology. Such research and development involves
a high degree of risk as to whether a commercially viable product will
result.





We
expect to continue to generate operating losses and experience negative cash
flow and it is uncertain whether we will achieve future
profitability




We expect
to continue to incur operating losses.  Our ability to commence
revenue generating operations and achieve profitability will depend on our
products functioning as intended, the market acceptance of our liquid
nano-technologyTM products and our capacity to develop, introduce and bring
additional products to market.  We cannot be certain that we will ever
generate significant sales or achieve profitability.  The extent of
future losses and the time required to achieve profitability, if ever, cannot be
predicted at this point.




11


Our
auditors have expressed a going concern opinion




We have
incurred losses, primarily as a result of our inception stage, general and
administrative, and pre-production expenses and our limited amount of
revenue.  Accordingly, we have received a report from our independent
auditors that includes an explanatory paragraph describing their substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.





We
need immediate additional financing in January 2010 to continue our
operations





As of
September 30, 2009, we were in default on approximately $739,484 in short term
debt, including accrued interest.  Our past capital raising activities
have not been sufficient to fund our working capital, operational and debt
requirements and we will need to raise additional funds in January 2010 through
private or public financings to continue our operations. Such financing could
include equity financing, which may be dilutive to stockholders, or debt
financing, which would likely restrict our ability to make acquisitions and
borrow from other sources.





During
our last fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we relied on the sale of
convertible preferred securities to fund our operations.  We raised
$763,716 from the issuance of notes and the sale of convertible preferred shares
during the twelve months ended September 30, 2009.  On May 15, 2009,
we entered into a Convertible Preferred Securities Agreement with Equity 11
under which Equity 11 may purchase additional shares of our preferred stock, but
we do not have any commitments for additional financing from Equity
11.  On September 30, 2009, we entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement with SAC but such agreement does not commit SAC to provide any
additional financing beyond the initial investment which netted us
$120,000.  We have maintained minimal cash reserves since October 2008
and have relied solely on additional investments from Equity 11 and
SAC.  While there is no maximum amount Equity 11 can invest in us
under its Securities Purchase Agreement and a $3,000,000 cap on the amount of
investment by SAC under its Securities Purchase Agreement, neither Equity 11 nor
SAC is committed to make any additional investments in us.  The
preferred shares held by Equity 11 and SAC can be converted into shares of our
common stock at prices that will likely be highly dilutive to our common
shareholders.





We
are dependent on key personnel





Our
success will be largely dependent upon the efforts of our executive
officers.  The loss of the services of our executive officers could
have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.  We
cannot be certain that we will be able to retain the services of such
individuals in the future.  Our research and development efforts are
dependent upon a single executive, Sally Ramsey, with whom we have entered into
an employment agreement which expires on December 31, 2012.  Our
success will be dependent upon our ability to hire and retain qualified
technical, research, management, sales, marketing, operations, and financial
personnel.  We will compete with other companies with greater
financial and other resources for such personnel.  Although we have
not to date experienced difficulty in attracting qualified personnel, we cannot
be certain that we will be able to retain our present personnel or acquire
additional qualified personnel as and when needed.  On September 21,
2009, we entered into new employment agreements with our Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and General Counsel and entered into an
amendment to Ms. Ramsey’s employment agreement.  We do not have an
employment agreement with our Chief Financial Officer.





We
Rely on Computer Systems for Financial Reporting and other Operations and any
Disruptions in Our Systems Would Adversely Affect Us





We rely
on computer systems to support our financial reporting capabilities and other
operations. As with any computer systems, unforeseen issues may arise that could
affect our ability to receive adequate, accurate and timely financial
information, which in turn could inhibit effective and timely decisions.
Furthermore, it is possible that our information systems could experience a
complete or partial shutdown. If such a shutdown occurred, it could impact our
ability to report our financial results in a timely manner or to otherwise
operate our business.  In this regard, our financial data in our accounting
software (QuickBooks) became corrupted and unusable in late June 2009 and the
backup system for our computer systems failed to backup the data. This resulted
in a delay in our ability to complete our financial statements for the June 30,
2009 quarter and to file our Form 10-Q with the SEC for such
period.





12


Risks Related to our
Business





We
are operating in both mature and developing markets, and there is a risk that we
may not achieve acceptance of our technology and products in these
markets




We
researched the markets for our products using our own personnel rather than
third parties.  We have conducted limited test marketing and, thus,
have relatively little information on which to estimate our levels of sales, the
amount of revenue our planned operations will generate and our operating and
other expenses.  We cannot be certain that we will be successful in
our efforts to market our products or to develop our markets in the manner we
contemplate.




Certain
markets, such as electronics and specialty packaging, are developing and rapidly
evolving and are characterized by an increasing number of market entrants who
have developed or are developing a wide variety of products and technologies, a
number of which offer certain of the features that our products
offer.  Because of these factors, demand and market acceptance for new
products may be difficult.  In mature markets, such as automotive or
general industrial, we may encounter resistance by our potential customers in
changing to our technology because of the capital investments they have made in
their present production or manufacturing facilities.  Thus, we cannot
be certain that our technology and products will become widely accepted. We do
not know our future growth rate, if any, and size of these markets. If a
substantial market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected, becomes
saturated with competitors or if our products do not achieve market acceptance,
our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially
adversely affected.




Our
technology is also intended to be marketed and licensed to component or device
manufacturers for inclusion in the products they market and sell as an embedded
solution.  As with other new products and technologies designed to
enhance or replace existing products or technologies or change product designs,
these potential partners may be reluctant to adopt our coating solution into
their production or manufacturing facilities unless our technology and products
are proven to be both reliable and available at a competitive price and the
cost-benefit analysis is favorable to the particular industry.  Even
assuming acceptance of our technology, our potential customers may be required
to redesign their production or manufacturing facilities to effectively use our
Liquid NanotechnologyTM coatings.  The time and costs necessary for
such redesign could delay or prevent market acceptance of our technology and
products.  A lack of, or delay in, market acceptance of our Liquid
NanotechnologyTM products would adversely affect our operations.  We do
not know if we will be able to market our technology and products successfully
or that any of our technology or products will be accepted in the
marketplace.




We
expect that our products will have a long sales cycle




One of
our target markets is the OEM market. OEMs traditionally have substantial
capital investments in their plant and equipment, including the coating portion
of the production process.  In this market, the sale of our coating
technology will be subject to budget constraints and resistance to change with
respect to long-established production techniques and processes, which could
result in a significant reduction or delay in our anticipated
revenues.  We cannot assure investors that such customers will have
the necessary funds to purchase our technology and products even though they may
want to do so.  Further, even if such customers have the necessary
funds, we may experience delays and relatively long sales cycles due to their
internal-decision making policies and procedures and reticence to
change.




Our
target markets are characterized by new products and rapid technological
change




The
target markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technology
and frequent new product introductions.  Our success will depend on
our ability to enhance our planned technologies and products and to introduce
new products and technologies to meet changing customer
requirements.  We intend to devote significant resources toward the
development of our Liquid NanotechnologyTM solutions.  We are not
certain that we will successfully complete the development of these technologies
and related products in a timely fashion or that our current or future products
will satisfy the needs of the coatings market.   We do not know
if technologies developed by others will adversely affect our competitive
position or render our products or technologies non-competitive or
obsolete.




13


There
is a significant amount of competition in our market




The
industrial coatings market is extremely competitive.  Our competitors
include Akzo Nobel, PPG, Sherwin-Williams and Valspar, Allied Photochemical,
Rad-Cure (Altana Chemie), Red Spot (Fujikura), R&D Coatings, Northwest
(Ashland), DSM Desotech, Prime.  Competitive factors our products face
include ease of use, quality, portability, versatility, reliability, accuracy,
cost, switching costs and other factors.  Our primary competitors
include companies with substantially greater financial, technological,
marketing, personnel and research and development resources than we currently
have.  There are direct competitors who have competitive technology
and products for many of our products.  New companies will likely
enter our markets in the future.  Although we believe that our
products are distinguishable from those of our competitors on the basis of their
technological features and functionality at an attractive value proposition, we
may not be able to penetrate any of our anticipated competitors’ portions of the
market.  Many of our anticipated competitors have existing
relationships with manufacturers that may impede our ability to market our
technology to potential customers and build market share.  We do not
know that we will be able to compete successfully against currently anticipated
or future competitors or that competitive pressures will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.




We
have limited marketing capability




We have
limited marketing capabilities and resources.  In order to achieve
market penetration, we will have to undertake significant efforts and
expenditures to create awareness of, and demand for, our technology and
products.  Our ability to penetrate the market and build our customer
base will be substantially dependent on our marketing efforts, including our
ability to establish strategic marketing arrangements with OEMs and
suppliers.  We cannot be certain that we will be able to enter into
any such arrangements or if entered into that they will be
successful.  Our failure to successfully develop our marketing
capabilities, both internally and through third-party alliances, would have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.  Even if developed, such marketing capabilities may not
lead to sales of our technologies and products.




We
have limited manufacturing capacity




We have
limited manufacturing capacity for our products.  In order to execute
our contemplated direct sales strategy, we will need to either: (i) acquire
existing manufacturing capacity; (ii) develop a manufacturing capacity
“in-house”; or (iii) identify suitable third parties with whom we can
contract for the manufacture of our products.  To either acquire
existing manufacturing capacity or to develop such capacity, significant capital
or outsourcing will be required.   We may not be able
to  raise the necessary capital to acquire existing manufacturing
capacity or to develop such capacity.  We cannot be certain that such
arrangements, if consummated, would be suitable to meet our needs.




We
are dependent on manufacturers and suppliers




We
purchase, and intend to continue to purchase, all of the raw materials for our
products from a limited number of manufacturers and suppliers.




We do not
intend to directly manufacture any of the chemicals or other raw materials used
in our products.  Our reliance on outside manufacturers and suppliers
is expected to continue and involves several risks, including limited control
over the availability of raw materials, delivery schedules, pricing and product
quality.  We may experience delays, additional expenses and lost sales
if we are required to locate and qualify alternative manufacturers and
suppliers.




A few of
the raw materials for our products are produced by a small number of specialized
manufacturers.  While we believe that there are alternative sources of
supply, if, for any reason, we are precluded from obtaining such materials from
such manufacturers, we may experience long delays in product delivery due to the
difficulty and complexity involved in producing the required materials and we
may also be required to pay higher costs for our materials.




14


We
are uncertain of our ability to protect our technology through
patents




Our
ability to compete effectively will depend on our success in protecting our
proprietary Liquid NanotechnologyTM, both in the United States and
abroad.  We have filed for patent protection in the United States and
certain other countries to cover a number of aspects of our Liquid
NanotechnologyTM.  The U.S. Patent Office (“USPTO”) has issued seven
patents to us.  We have four applications still pending before the
USPTO and nine patent applications pending in other countries, plus one pending
ICT international patent application.




We do not
know if  any additional patents relating to our existing technology
will be issued from the United States or any foreign patent offices, that we
will receive any additional patents in the future based on our continued
development of our technology, or that our patent protection within and/or
outside of the United States will be sufficient to deter others, legally or
otherwise, from developing or marketing competitive products utilizing our
technologies.




We do not
know if any of our current or future patents will be enforceable to prevent
others from developing and marketing competitive products or
methods.  If we bring an infringement action relating to any of our
patents, it may require the diversion of substantial funds from our operations
and may require management to expend efforts that might otherwise be devoted to
our operations.  Furthermore, we may not be successful in enforcing
our patent rights.




Further,
patent infringement claims in the United States or in other countries will
likely be asserted against us by competitors or others, and if asserted, we may
not be successful in defending against such claims.  If one of our
products is adjudged to infringe patents of others with the likely consequence
of a damage award, we may be enjoined from using and selling such product or be
required to obtain a royalty-bearing license, if available on acceptable
terms.  Alternatively, in the event a license is not offered, we might
be required, if possible, to redesign those aspects of the product held to
infringe so as to avoid infringement liability.  Any redesign efforts
undertaken by us might be expensive, could delay the introduction or the
re-introduction of our products into certain markets, or may be so significant
as to be impractical.




We
are uncertain of our ability to protect our proprietary technology and
information




In
addition to seeking patent protection, we rely on trade secrets, know-how and
continuing technological advancement in special formulations to achieve and
thereafter maintain a competitive advantage.  Although we have entered
into confidentiality and employment agreements with employees, consultants,
certain potential customers and advisors, we cannot be certain that such
agreements will be honored or that we will be able to effectively protect our
rights to our unpatented trade secrets and know-how.  Moreover, others
may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and
techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and
know-how.




Risks
related to our license arrangements




We have
licensing agreements with DuPont and Red Spot Paint & Varnish regarding
their use of our technology for specific formulations for designated
applications.  The DuPont license provides multiple formulas for use
on metal parts in the North American automotive market.  To date, this
license has not generated any ongoing royalty payments.  We also have
a licensing agreement with Red Spot that provides formulations for specific tank
coatings. Such licenses are renewable provided the parties are in compliance
with the agreements.  Although these licenses provide for royalties
based upon net sales of our UV-cured coating formulations, it is unlikely that
Red Spot or DuPont will aggressively market products with our coatings and thus
entitle us to receive royalties at any level.




We
may be precluded from registering our trademark registrations in other
countries




We have
received approval of “EcoQuick”, “EZ RecoatTM”, “Liquid NanotechnologyTM”,
“Ecology CoatingsTM” as trademarks in connection with our proposed business and
marketing activities in the United States.  Although we intend to
pursue the registration of our marks in the United States and other countries,
prior registrations and/or uses of one or more of such marks, or a confusingly
similar mark, may exist in one or more of such countries, in which case we might
be precluded from registering and/or using such mark in certain
countries.




15


There
are economic and general risks relating to our business




The
success of our activities is subject to risks inherent in business generally,
including demand for products and services; general economic conditions; changes
in taxes and tax laws; and changes in governmental regulations and
policies.  For example, difficulties in obtaining credit and financing
and the slowdown in the U.S. automotive industry have made it more difficult to
market our technology to that industry.




Risks Related to our Common
Stock




Our
stock price has been volatile and the future market price for our common stock
is likely to continue to be volatile. Further, the limited market for our shares
may make it difficult for our investors to sell our common stock for a positive
return on investment




The
public market for our common stock has historically been very volatile. During
fiscal year 2009, our low and high market prices of our stock were $0.25 per
share (March 24, 2009) and $2.00 per share (August 17, 2009).  Any
future market prices for our shares are likely to continue to be very volatile.
This price volatility may make it more difficult for our shareholder to sell our
shares when desired.  We do not know of any one particular factor that
has caused volatility in our stock price.  However, the stock market
in general has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of listed
companies.  Broad market factors and the investing public’s negative
perception of our business may reduce our stock price, regardless of our
operating performance. Further, the volume of our traded shares and the market
for our common stock is very limited.  During the past fiscal year,
there have been several days where no shares of our stock have
traded.  A larger market for our shares may never develop or be
maintained. Market fluctuations and volatility, as well as general economic,
market and political conditions, could reduce our market price.  As a
result, this may make it very difficult for our shareholder to sell our common
stock.




Control
by key stockholders




As of
September 30, 2009, Richard D. Stromback, Douglas Stromback, Deanna Stromback,
who are the brother and sister of Richard D. Stromback, respectively, Sally J.W.
Ramsey, and Equity 11 held shares representing approximately 75.4% of the voting
power of our outstanding capital stock.  In addition, pursuant to the
investment agreements we entered into with Equity 11, Equity 11 has the right to
effectively control our Board of Directors with the right to appoint three of
the five members of our Board of Directors.  Additionally, Equity 11
has the right to appoint our Chief Executive Officer.  The stock
ownership and governance rights of such parties constitute effective voting
control over all matters requiring stockholder approval.  These voting
and other control rights mean that our other stockholders will have only limited
rights to participate in our management.  The rights of our
controlling stockholders may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a
change in our control and may otherwise decrease the value of the shares and
voting securities owned by other stockholders.





Our
common stock is considered a “penny stock,” any investment in our shares is
considered to be a high-risk investment and is subject to restrictions on
marketability





Our
common stock is considered a “penny stock” because it is traded on the OTC
Bulletin Board and it trades for less than $5.00 per share. The OTC Bulletin
Board is generally regarded as a less efficient trading market than the NASDAQ
Capital or Global Markets or the New York Stock Exchange.





The SEC
has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in “penny stocks.”  The penny stock rules require a
broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from
those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the
SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and
significance of risks of the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer
also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny
stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and any salesperson in the
transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each
penny stock held in the customer’s account.  In addition, the penny
stock rules require that, prior to effecting a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written
determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser
and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the
transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of
reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common
stock.





Since our
common stock will be subject to the regulations applicable to penny stocks, the
market liquidity for our common stock could be adversely affected because the
regulations on penny stocks could limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell
our common stock and thus the ability of our shareholder to sell our common
stock in the secondary market in the future.





16


We
have never paid dividends and have no plans to do so in the future





To date,
we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of common stock and we do not
expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable
future.  We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds
for the operation of our business.  Our investment agreements with
Equity 11 prevent the payment of any dividends to our common stockholders
without the prior approval of Equity 11.  Dividends for the preferred
shares held by Equity 11 and SAC have not been paid in cash.  Thus
far, the dividends have been paid through the issuance of additional preferred
shares.





The
issuance and exercise of additional options, warrants, and convertible
securities may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders





To the
extent that our outstanding stock options and warrants are exercised,
convertible preferred shares are converted to common stock and/or promissory
notes are converted into common stock, dilution to the ownership interests of
our stockholders will occur.





As of
November 16, 2009, we had granted options to purchase 5,131,119 shares of our
common stock under our 2007 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2007
Plan).  As of September 30, 2009, we had issued warrants to purchase
4,518,500 shares of our common stock which includes 1,178,500 warrants issued to
Equity 11.  As of September 30, 2009, Equity 11 purchased convertible
preferred shares and has been issued additional preferred shares as dividends
that are convertible into 10,516,370 common shares.  As of September
30, 2009, there was $739,484 outstanding in principal and accrued interest on
notes held by Investment Hunter, LLC, George Resta and Mitchell
Shaheen.  These notes are no longer convertible but we may grant
conversion rights to these holders to reduce our need for cash.





We
have additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could
adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock





Our
Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 90,000,000 shares of common
stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  The common stock and
preferred stock can be issued by our Board of Directors without stockholder
approval.  Any future issuances of our common stock or preferred stock
could further dilute the percentage ownership of our existing
stockholders.





Indemnification
of officers and directors





Our
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain broad indemnification and liability
limiting provisions regarding our officers, directors and employees, including
the limitation of liability for certain violations of fiduciary
duties.  In addition, we maintain Directors and Officers liability
insurance.  Our shareholder will have only limited recourse against
such directors and officers.





Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under
Nevada law or otherwise, we have been advised that the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and may, therefore, be
unenforceable.

Sales
of our stock by Equity 11 may drive the price of our stock down





Our
common stock is “thinly” traded as it has very low daily trading
volume.  On some trading days, no shares of our stock are
sold.  In addition, we have filed a registration statement for a
portion of the shares held by Equity 11 and may file additional registration
statements for Equity 11’s shares as the SEC rules may permit.  Once
registered, these shares may be sold on the OTC Bulletin
Board.  Future sales of a substantial number of shares by Equity 11
will likely put a downward pressure on the price of our stock.





Short
Selling may drive the price of our stock down





Short
selling is the practice of selling securities that have been borrowed from a
third party with the intention of buying identical securities back at a later
date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in
the value of the securities between the sale and the repurchase, as he will pay
less to buy the securities than he received on selling them. Conversely, the
short seller will make a loss if the price of the security rises.  The
ability of Equity 11 to sell a substantial number of shares once a registration
statement is effective and the downward pressure on the price of our common
stock that may result may encourage short selling of our common stock by third
parties.  Such short selling will cause additional downward pressure
on the price of our stock.

As of
September 30, 2009, we had approximately 242 shareholders of record of our
common stock.  As of that date, Equity 11 held 18,895,038 shares of
our common stock if it converts all of its preferred shares into common
shares.  We have agreed to register 4,340,000 common shares to be
converted by Equity 11 from its convertible preferred shares  pursuant
to our Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Preferred Securities
Agreement with Equity 11.  The sale of all or a significant portion of
the 4,340,000 shares held by Equity 11 could have a material negative effect on
the price of our common stock.





Dividends





To date,
we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of common stock and we do not
expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable
future.  We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds
for the operation of our business.  Our Securities Purchase Agreement
with Equity 11 prevents the payment of any dividends to our common stockholders
without the prior approval of Equity 11.  We have paid dividends due
Equity 11 for its preferred shares by issuing additional preferred shares in
lieu of cash.

Recent
Issuances of Unregistered Securities





Set forth
below is a description of all of our sales of unregistered securities during the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.  All sales were made to
“accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). All such sales were
exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act, as transactions not
involving a public offering. Unless indicated, we did not pay any commissions to
third parties in connection with the sales.




Set forth
below is a description of all of our sales of unregistered securities during the
last three years.  All sales were made to “accredited investors” as
such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the
Act.  All such sales were exempt from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Act, as transactions not involving a public offering.
Unless indicated, we did not pay any commissions to third parties in connection
with the sales.





On August
28, 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Equity 11 for the
issuance of 5% convertible preferred shares at a price of $1,000 per
share.  Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, Equity 11 may
purchase up to $5,000,000 of 5% convertible preferred shares.  In
addition, for each acquisition of convertible preferred shares, Equity 11 will
be issued warrants to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at
$.75 per share.  As of September 30, 2009, under the Securities
Purchase  Agreement, Equity 11 had been issued 2,436 shares of 5%
Convertible Preferred Shares and had been issued warrants to purchase 1,178,500
shares.





On May
15, 2009, we entered into a Convertible Preferred Securities Agreement (the
“Preferred Securities Agreement”) with Equity 11 for the issuance and sale of
5.0% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares, Series B at a purchase price of
$1,000 per share.  The Preferred Securities Agreement did not replace
or terminate the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  That is,
the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement will continue to apply to
preferred stock and warrants issued under the Securities Purchase
Agreement.  Similarly, the terms of the Preferred Securities Agreement
will apply to preferred stock issued under the Preferred Securities
Agreement.





20


Equity 11
may convert the convertible preferred shares into our common stock at a
conversion price that is twenty percent (20%) of the average of the closing
price of our common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board for the five
trading days prior to each investment.  As of September 30, 2009, we
had issued 566 Convertible Preferred Shares to Equity 11 under the Preferred
Securities Agreement.  On December 14, 2009, we extended the
termination date of the Preferred Securities Agreement until the earlier to
occur of June 15, 2010 or the acceptance by our Board of Directors of a new
investment in us by a third party in an amount of at least
$3,000,000.





On September 30, 2009, we and SAC,
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the issuance and sale of
our 5.0% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares, Series B (the “Convertible
Preferred Shares”) at a purchase price of $1,000 per share.  SAC is
owned by Richard Stromback a former member of our Board of
Directors.  Until April 1, 2010, SAC has the right to purchase up to
3,000 Convertible Preferred Shares.  The Convertible Preferred Shares
have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share.  SAC may convert
the Convertible Preferred Shares into shares of our common stock at a conversion
price that is seventy seven percent (77%) of the average closing price of our
common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board for the five trading days
prior to each investment.  The Convertible Preferred Shares will pay
cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, subject to declaration by
our Board of Directors, on December 1 and June 1 of each year.  We
have agreed to provide piggyback registration rights for common stock converted
by SAC under a Registration Rights Agreement.  Fifty percent (50%) of each investment,
up to a maximum of $500,000, will be placed in a fund and disbursed as directed
by SAC to satisfy our outstanding debts, accounts payable and/or investor
relations programs (“Discretionary Fund”).  On October 1, 2009, SAC
acquired 240 of our Convertible Preferred Shares, Series B with a purchase price
per share of $1,000.  We received $240,000 of gross proceeds and net
proceeds of $120,000 after payments were made from the Discretionary Fund for
outstanding obligations owed to Mr. Stromback.

Operating
Results




Years
Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008




Results
From Operations




Revenuesfor the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, were $0 and
$25,092, respectively. Substantially all of our revenues for the year ended
September 30, 2008 derived from our licensing agreement with Red Spot.
These revenues stem from the amortization of the initial payment of $125,000 by
Red Spot to us in May 2005 and not from any subsequent
transactions.




Salaries and
Fringe Benefits. The decrease of approximately $526,000 in
such expenses for the year ended September 30, 2009 compared to the year
ended September 30, 2008 is the result of the elimination of two salaried
employees prior to October 31, 2008, the elimination of a third in March 2009,
the reduction of the salary of one employee effective October 1, 2008, and the
reductions of the salaries of three employees in December 2008. These reductions
were partially offset by the expense associated with the options issued to two
employees in September 2008 and December 2008 as well as the addition of a new
employee in September 2008.




Professional
Fees.The increase of approximately $366,000 in these expenses for the
year ended September 30, 2009 compared to the year ended September 30, 2008 is
the result of the issuance of 2,000,000 options to Trimax in November
2008.  These options vested upon issuance, so the entire charge of
$1,368,000 was recognized in that month. This expense was offset by a reduction
of approximately $1,050,000 in fees and options paid or awarded to consultants
for a variety of services. Three such consultants are no longer under agreement
with us and two others have reduced their ongoing fees to us.




Other General and
Administrative Expenses.The decrease of approximately $310,000 in these
expenses for the year ended September 30, 2009 compared to the year ended
September 30, 2008 reflects reductions in legal fees relating to SEC filings,
in-sourcing the work of preparing SEC filings, the elimination of debt extension
fees, and the reduction of travel and travel-related expenses.




23


Operating Losses.The increased loss between the reporting periods is explained by the
increases in the expense categories discussed above and the decrease in revenue
over the periods.




Interest Incomefor the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $142 and $5,784,
respectively. The decrease resulted from a reduction in our average investable
cash balances between and 2008 and 2009.




Interest
Expense. The decrease of approximately $1,150,000 for the year ended
September 30, 2009 compared to the year ended September 30, 2008 is the result
of the expensing of the value of detachable warrants issued with bridge notes in
the earlier period partially offset by the revaluing of previously issued
detachable warrants and an increase of approximately $700,000 in average
outstanding debt for the 2008 period.




Income Tax
Provision.  No provision for income tax benefit from net
operating losses has been made for the years ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 as we have fully reserved the asset until realization is more reasonably
assured.




Net Loss.The decrease in the Net Loss of approximately $1,588,000 for the year
ended September 30, 2009 compared to the year ended September 30, 2008, while
more fully explained in the foregoing discussions of the various expense
categories, is due primarily to reductions of approximately $1,150,000 in
Interest Expense, $1,007,000 in certain professional fees, $310,000 in Other
General and Administrative expenses, and $526,000 in Salaries and Fringe
Benefits, partially offset by the expensing of a grant of 2,000,000 options
awarded to a consultant in November 2008 and the fact that we recognized no
revenue in the 2009 period.





Basic and Diluted
Loss per Share. The change in basic and diluted net loss per share for
the year ended September 30, 2009 compared with the year ended September 30,
2008 reflects the decreased Net Loss discussed above.





Liquidity and Capital
Resources





Current
and Expected Liquidity





Cash and
cash equivalents as of September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 totaled
($0) and $974,276, respectively.  The decrease reflects cash used in
operations of $1,555,950, cash used to purchase fixed and intangible assets of
$59,441, and cash used to pay down debt of $372,801.  This decrease
was partially offset by borrowings of $75,000 and the issuance of $913,500 in
convertible preferred stock.





We are a
company that has failed to generate significant revenues as yet and have
incurred an accumulated deficit of ($22,688,817), $13,456,402 of this amount is
due to non-cash items, including options expense, the issuance of warrants,
beneficial conversion provisions associated with issuances of preferred stock
and certain debt, and stock issued to pay for services, payables, and debt
extensions.  We have incurred losses primarily as a result of general
and administrative expenses, salaries and benefits, professional fees, and
interest expense.  Since our inception, we have generated very little
revenue.  We have received a report from our independent auditors that
includes an explanatory paragraph describing their substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern.





We expect
to continue using substantial amounts of cash to: (i) develop and protect
our intellectual property; (ii) further develop and commercialize our
products; (iii) fund ongoing salaries, professional fees, and general
administrative expenses.  Our cash requirements may vary materially
from those now planned depending on numerous factors, including the status of
our marketing efforts, our business development activities, the results of
future research and development, competition and our ability to generate
revenue.





24


Historically,
we have financed operations primarily through the issuance of debt and the sale
of equity securities.  In the near future, as additional capital is
needed, we expect to rely primarily on the sale of convertible preferred
securities.




As of
September 30, 2009, we had notes payable to three separate parties on which we
owed approximately $739,484 in principal and accrued interest.  These
notes do not contain any restrictive covenants with respect to the issuance of
additional debt or equity securities by us.  The notes and the accrued
interest totaling $739,484 owing to three note holders were due prior to
September 30, 2008 and their holders demanded payment.  We have paid
$320,000 in principal and accrued interest against the original principal and
interest balance on two of these notes.  We have made a $5,000 payment
to the third note holder to whom we owed approximately $333,300 in principal and
accrued interest as of September 30, 2009.  Additionally, we have
notes owing to shareholders totaling approximately $289,586 including accrued
interest as of September 30, 2009.  These notes are due and payable on
December 31, 2009. None of the debt is subject to restrictive
covenants.  All of the debt is unsecured.





As of
September 30, 2009, Equity 11 had purchased 3,002 convertible preferred
shares.  In addition, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with SAC on September 30, 2009.  On October 1, 2009, SAC acquired 240
shares of our Convertible Preferred Shares, Series B with a purchase price of
$1,000 per share.  We received $240,000 of gross proceeds and net
proceeds of $120,000 after payments were made from the Discretionary Fund for
outstanding obligations owed to Mr. Stromback.  We will need to raise
immediate additional funds in fiscal year 2010 to continue our operations. At
present, we do not have any binding commitments for additional
financing.  If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we would
seek to negotiate with other parties for debt or equity financing, pursue
additional bridge financing, and negotiate with creditors for a reduction and/or
extension of debt and other obligations through the issuance of
stock.  At this point, we cannot assess the likelihood of achieving
these objectives.  If we are unable to achieve these objectives, we
would be forced to cease our business, sell all or part of our assets, and/or
seek protection under applicable bankruptcy laws.





On
September 30, 2009, we had 32,835,684 common shares issued and outstanding and
3,002 in convertible preferred shares issued and outstanding.  These
preferred shares and accumulated and unpaid dividends can be converted into a
total of 10,674,377 shares of our common stock.  As of September 30,
2009, options and warrants to purchase up to 9,649,619 shares of common stock
had been granted.  Additionally, some of our outstanding notes and
accrued interest may be converted into shares of common stock in order to
conserve cash.





Our
financing agreements with Equity 11 allow Equity 11 the opportunity to match any
other offers of financing that we receive.  To date, this provision
has not inhibited our ability to seek alternative financing
arrangements.  Equity 11 chose not to match the financing offer that
we recently received from SAC that resulted in a Securities Purchase Agreement
dated September 30, 2009.  On December 14, 2009, we extended the
termination date of the Preferred Securities Agreement until the earlier to
occur of June 15, 2010 or the acceptance by our Board of Directors of a new
investment in us by a third party in an amount of at least
$3,000,000.





Our
financing agreements with Equity 11 also require that Equity 11 approve any
capital expenditure greater than $10,000.  To date, Equity 11 has not
prevented us from making any capital expenditure greater than
$10,000.

Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates





Our
financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. Preparation of the statements in accordance with these
principles requires that we make estimates, using available data and our
judgment, for such things as valuing assets, accruing liabilities and estimating
expenses. The following is a discussion of what we feel are the most critical
estimates that we must make when preparing our financial
statements.




Revenue
Recognition.Revenues from licensing contracts are recorded
ratably over the life of the contract. Contingency earnings such as royalty fees
are recorded when the amount can reasonably be determined and collection is
likely.




Income Taxes and
Deferred Income Taxes.We use the asset and liability approach
for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes
are provided for temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities as
reported for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes and for the
future use of net operating losses. We have recorded a valuation allowance
against our net deferred income tax asset. The valuation allowance reduces
deferred income tax assets to an amount that represents management’s best
estimate of the amount of such deferred income tax assets that more likely than
not will be realized.




27


Property and
Equipment.Property and equipment is stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line
method over the following useful lives:


Computer
      equipment
            
            3-10 yearsFurniture
      and fixtures
            
            3-7 yearsTest
      equipment
            
            5-7 yearsSoftware
            
            3 years




Repairs
and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Betterments or
renewals are capitalized as incurred.




We review
long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset with future net cash flows expected to be generated
by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets.




Patents.It
is our policy to capitalize costs associated with securing a patent. Costs
consist of legal and filing fees. Once a patent is issued, it is amortized on a
straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. For purposes of the
preparation of the audited, consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in
this prospectus, we have recorded amortization expense associated with the
patents based on an eight year useful life.




Stock-Based
Compensation.We have a stock incentive plan that provides for
the issuance of stock options, restricted stock and other awards to employees
and service providers. We calculate compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) using
a Black-Scholes option pricing model. In so doing, we estimate certain key
assumptions used in the model. We believe the estimates we use, which are
presented in Note 7 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, are
appropriate and reasonable.




Recent Accounting
Pronouncements





In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets, as amendment to SFAS No. 140(SFAS166). SFAS 166
eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the
requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional
disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial
statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial
assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity’s continuing
involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial
assets. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2009. We will adopt SFAS 166 in fiscal 2010 as applicable. It would not have had
any impact on any of the financial statements that we’ve issued to
date.





In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R),” (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation
No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” (FIN 46(R)) to require an
enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable
interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable
interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is
the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the
quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration
event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any
changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity
investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar
rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most
significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced
disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more
transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest
entity. SFAS 167 becomes effective on January 1, 2010. We do not anticipate
SFAS 167 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements
upon adoption.

ITEM
      9A.
            
            CONTROLS
      AND PROCEDURES





Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined
under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective at September 30, 2009 to ensure that
information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure in that our
auditors made adjustments to our Black-Scholes calculations used to expense
stock options and warrants.  We have previously disclosed that errors
occurred in calculating expense associated with stock options.  Those
errors were found in the calculations for the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  In a post-closing adjustment,
we recognized an additional $74,243 in stock options expense.  We have
taken steps to ensure in the future that two people will separately make
calculations involving the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and that each
review the other’s for accuracy and completeness.





Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), and
for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer
and effected by our Board, management, and other personnel, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.





Our
internal control over financial reporting is supported by policies and
procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our
assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our
receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.





We rely
on computer systems to support our financial reporting capabilities and other
operations. As with any computer systems, unforeseen issues may arise that could
affect our ability to receive adequate, accurate and timely financial
information, which in turn could inhibit effective and timely decisions.
Furthermore, it is possible that our information systems could experience a
complete or partial shutdown. If such a shutdown occurred, it could impact our
ability to report our financial results in a timely manner or to otherwise
operate our business.  Our financial data in our accounting software
(QuickBooks) became corrupted and unusable in late July 2009. The backup system
for our network computer system failed to backup the data.  An outside
IT technical vendor was also unable to restore the file to working
order.  Since the file could not be restored, we manually recreated
our financial data back to the date of our most recent backup data file
(November 20, 2008).  Due to the significant efforts incurred in
recreating the data, we filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC to extend the filing
date for our Form 10-Q for the June 30, 2009 period for five calendar
days.  As a result of this failure, we modified the backup procedures
for our financial data.  Our CFO is manually backing up the financial
data to CD disks on a weekly basis.  We have also undertaken tests to
ensure the network backup system is working and have scheduled periodic testing
to ensure continued network backup functionality.





29


Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements.  Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.





Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting





Management
assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009,
the end of our fiscal year. Management based its assessment on criteria
established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management’s
assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over
financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those
controls.





Based on
this assessment, management has concluded that as of September 30, 2009, our
internal control
over financial reporting was ineffective to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of


financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  We
have previously noted errors in calculating expense associated with stock
options.  Those errors were found in the calculations for the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the quarter ended March 31,
2009.  In a post-closing adjustment, we recognized an additional
$74,243 in stock options expense.  We have taken steps to ensure in
the future that the multiple calculations involving the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model are reviewed several times for accuracy and
completeness.





This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our report
was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant
to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange


Commission
that permit us to provide only Management’s report in this Form
10-K.





Management
is aware that we have a lack of segregation of certain duties due to the small
number of employees with responsibility for general administrative and financial
matters. This constitutes a deficiency in financial controls. However, at this
time, management has decided that considering the employees involved and the
control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation
of duties are insignificant and the potential benefits of adding additional
employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the expenses associated
with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation. If
the volume of business increases and sufficient capital is secured, it is our
intention to further increase staffing to mitigate the current lack of
segregation of duties within the general, administrative and financial
functions.




A control
system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within
a company have been detected. Such limitations include the fact that human
judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal
control can occur because of human failures, such as simple errors or mistakes
or intentional circumvention of the established process.




Changes in Internal Control over
Financial Reporting




During
the three months ended September 30, 2009, there were no changes in our internal
controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation
required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that was
conducted during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Compensation
Policy.





Our
executive compensation plan is based on attracting and retaining qualified
professionals who possess the skills and leadership necessary to enable us to
achieve earnings and profitability growth. We must, therefore, create incentives
for these executives to achieve both company and individual performance
objectives through the use of performance-based compensation
programs.




36


No one
component is considered by itself, but all forms of the compensation package are
considered in total. Wherever possible, objective measurements will be utilized
to quantify performance, but many subjective factors still come into play when
determining performance.




Compensation
Components




Still in
its inception stage, the main elements of our compensation package consist of
base salary, stock options, and bonus.




Base
Salary. The base salary for each executive officer is reviewed and
compared to the prior year, with considerations given for increase. Base
salary adjustments will be based on both individual and our performance and will
include both objective and subjective criteria specific to each executive’s role
and responsibility.  No increases were given to executives from 2008
to 2009.




Stock
Options.  Stock option awards are determined by the Board of
Directors based on several factors, some of which include responsibilities
incumbent with the role of each executive, tenure, as well as our financial
performance, such as shipment of product at certain thresholds. The vesting
period of options is also tied, in some instances, to our performance directly
related to certain executive’s responsibilities.




Bonuses.  To
date, bonuses have been granted on a limited basis, with these bonuses related
to meeting certain performance criteria that are directly related to areas
within the executive’s responsibilities, such as production of product and sales
of product to customers. As we continue to evolve, more defined bonus programs
are expected to be created to attract and retain our employees at all levels. No
bonuses were granted in 2009.




Other.  As
of September 30, 2009, we had no profit sharing plan in place for
employees.  However, this is another area of consideration to add such
a plan to provide yet another level of compensation to our compensation
plan.  We reimburse all or a portion of health insurance costs for its
employees.





Mr. Stromback

Stock
Option Plans





Our Board
of Directors adopted the 2007 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2007
Plan”) on May 9, 2007 and the shareholders approved the Plan on
June 4, 2007. The 2007 Plan authorized us to issue up to 4,500,000 shares
of our common stock for issuance upon exercise of options and grant of
restricted stock awards. On December 2, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized
the addition of another 1,000,000 shares to the 2007 Plan. Since that date, the
number of authorized options under the 2007 Plan has not
increased.  In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we issued
1,379,000 options under the 2007 Plan to our directors, officers and employees,
and 60,000 options were issued to consultants, all of which are subject to
vesting provisions.

The 2007
Plan authorizes us to grant (i) to key employees incentive stock options
and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards and (ii) to
non-employee directors and consultants non-qualified stock options and
restricted stock. Our Compensation Committee will administer the Plans by making
recommendations to the board or determinations regarding the persons to whom
options or restricted stock should be granted and the amount, terms, conditions
and restrictions of the awards.





The 2007
Plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock
options and restricted stock awards. Incentive stock options granted under the
2007 Plan must have an exercise price at least equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant.
Incentive stock options granted to any person who owns, immediately after the
grant, stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the combined voting power
of all classes of our stock, or of any parent or subsidiary corporation, must
have an exercise price at least equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the
fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Non-statutory stock
options may have exercise prices as determined by our Compensation Committee. To
date, no incentive stock options have been granted under the Plan.





The
Compensation Committee is also authorized to grant restricted stock awards under
the 2007 Plan. A restricted stock award is a grant of shares of the common stock
that is subject to restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other
restrictions and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of
employment or service prior to the end of a restricted period specified by the
Compensation Committee.

Crockett, under which he serves as the Chief Executive
Officer.  Mr. Crockett  reports to the Chairman of the
Board of Directors.  Mr. Crockett receives an annual base salary
of $200,000. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may review Mr.
Crockett’s salary to determine what, if any, increases shall be made
thereto.  The Crockett Agreement may be terminated prior to the end of
the term by us for cause. If Mr. Crockett’s employment is terminated
without cause or for “good reason,” as defined in the Crockett Agreement, he is
entitled to 50% of salary that would have been paid over the balance of the term
of the Crockett Agreement. Further, a termination within one year after a
change in control shall be deemed to be a termination without
cause.




On
September 21, 2009, we entered into an employment agreement with F. Thomas
Krotine (the “Krotine Agreement”), our COO. The Krotine Agreement is deemed
effective September 21, 2009 (the “Effective Date”) and shall expire on
September 21, 2010. Effective November 1, 2009, Mr. Krotine receives an
annual base salary of $65,000. The Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors may review Mr. Krotine’s salary to determine what, if any, increases
shall be made thereto. The Krotine Agreement may be terminated prior to the end
of the term by us for cause. If Mr. Krotine’s employment is terminated
without cause or for “good reason,” as defined in the Krotine Agreement, he is
entitled to 50% of salary that would have been paid over the balance of the term
of the Krotine Agreement. Further, a termination within one year of a change in
control shall be deemed to be a termination without cause.




On
September 21, 2009, we entered into an employment agreement with Daniel V.
Iannotti (the “Iannotti Agreement”), our Vice President, General Counsel &
Secretary. Mr. Iannotti  has served as our Vice President, General
Counsel since August 11, 2008. The Iannotti Agreement is deemed effective
September 21, 2009 (the “Effective Date”) and shall expire on September 21,
2012. Effective November 1, 2009, Mr. Iannotti receives an annual base
salary of $150,000. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may
review Mr. Iannotti’s salary to determine what, if any, increases shall be made

by us for cause. If Mr. Iannotti’s employment is terminated without
cause or for “good reason,” as defined in the Iannotti Agreement, he is entitled
to 50% of salary that would have been paid over the balance of the term of the
Iannotti Agreement. Further, a termination within one year after a change
in control shall be deemed to be a termination without cause.




Kevin Stolz
serves as Chief Financial Officer, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer under
an agreement with us effective February 1, 2007.  The agreement
was executed on February 1, 2008 and was terminated on July 28, 2009 and Mr.
Stolz continues to serve on an at-will basis. He reports to the Chief Executive
Officer.




Sally
J.W. Ramsey serves as the Director of Research and Development and New Product
Development.  Her employment agreement is for a term of five years
from January 1, 2007 through January 1, 2012.  Her salary
for the first year is $180,000, then $200,000 for years two through four, and
finally $220,000 for year five but it was reduced to $60,000 effective December
1, 2008.  She reports to the Chief Executive Officer.  On
September 21, 2009, we entered into a Second Amendment To Employment Agreement
with Sally J.W. Ramsey which amends Section 4.1 of her Employment Agreement with
us to provide for an annual salary of $75,000 effective November 1,
2009.


Ms.
Ramsey’s agreement is renewable for one year at our option unless either party
gives written notice to the other party that it does not wish to extend the
agreement.  The agreement may be terminated prior to the end of the
term by us for cause, good reason, or upon thirty days written
notice given to the other party.  If the executive’s employment is
terminated without cause or for “good reason,” as defined in their employment
agreements, the executive is entitled to the amount of salary that would have
been paid over the balance of the term of the agreement and will receive it over
such period.  Further, upon a change in control other than with Equity
11, we must pay the executive’s annual salary that would be payable for a
twenty-four month period and any declared and accrued, but as of then
unpaid, bonus or stock options grant, shall be deemed to be vested.





On August
27, 2008, the terms of the employment agreements of Messrs. Stromback, Krotine,
Morgan, Stolz were amended so the Equity 11 transaction was not a “change in
control” under the terms of those then existing employment
agreements.

We
engaged UHY LLP as our independent auditor on August 30, 2007. This
engagement was disclosed in a Form 8-K on that date. The agreed upon audit
and audit related fees for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 totaled
approximately $61,900.





Audit
Fees:  Consists of fees for professional services rendered by our
principal accountants for the contemporaneous audit of our annual financial
statements and the review of quarterly financial statements or services that are
normally provided by our principal accountants in connection with statutory and
regulatory filings or engagements.





Audit-Related
Fees:  Consists of fees for assurance and related services by our
principal accountants that are reasonably related to the performance of the
audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit
Fees.”





Tax
Fees:  Consists of fees for professional services rendered by our
principal accountants for tax advice.





All Other
Fees: Consists of fees for products and services provided by our principal
accountants, other than the services reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related
Fees” and “Tax Fees” above.





Under the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services performed by our
independent accountants must now be approved in advance by our Audit Committee
to assure that such services do not impair the accountants’ independence from
us. The Audit Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval
Policy (the “Policy”) which sets forth the procedures and the conditions
pursuant to which services to be performed by the independent accountants are to
be pre-approved. Our entire Board has acted as our Audit Committee since July
2008.  Pursuant to the Policy, certain services described in detail in
the Policy may be pre-approved on an annual basis together with pre-approved
maximum fee levels for such services. The services eligible for annual
pre-approval consist of services that would be included under the categories of
Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees and Tax Fees in the above table as well as
services for limited review of actuarial reports and calculations. If not
pre-approved on an annual basis, proposed services must otherwise be separately
approved prior to being performed by the independent accountants. In addition,
any services that receive annual pre-approval but exceed the pre-approved
maximum fee level also will require separate approval by the entire Board acting
as our Audit Committee prior to being performed. The Board, acting as the Audit
Committee, may delegate authority to pre-approve audit and non-audit services to
any member, but may not delegate such authority to management.  During
fiscal year 2008, we engaged our Auditor to provide tax services in addition to
audit services but the engagement was not pre-approved by the  Board
or our independent Director. These tax services represent $11,771, or 16.4% of
the total for audit related fees, tax fees and all other fees paid during
2008.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM











Board of
Directors


Ecology
Coatings, Inc.





We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ecology Coatings, Inc.
and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit)
and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.





We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.





In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Ecology Coatings, Inc. and
Subsidiary as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.





The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 9 to
the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses, negative
cash flows from operations and net capital deficiency raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans
as to these matters are also discussed in Note 9.  The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

ECOLOGY
COATINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY




NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS






Note
1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of
Estimates




Description of
the Company.We were originally incorporated on March 12, 1990
in California (“Ecology-CA”).  Our current entity was incorporated in
Nevada on February 6, 2002 as OCIS Corp. (“OCIS”).  OCIS
completed a merger with Ecology-CA on July 26, 2007 (the “Merger”). In the
Merger, OCIS changed its name from OCIS Corporation to Ecology Coatings,
Inc.  We develop nanotechnology-enabled, ultra-violet curable coatings
that are designed to drive efficiencies and clean processes in
manufacturing.  We create proprietary coatings with unique performance
and environmental attributes by leveraging our platform of integrated
nano-material technologies that reduce overall energy consumption and offer a
marked decrease in drying time. Ecology’s target markets consist of electronics,
automotive and trucking, paper products and original equipment manufacturers
(“OEMs”).




Principles of
Consolidation.The consolidated financial statements include
all of our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiary
Ecology-CA.  All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.




Use of
Estimates.The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.




Cash and Cash
Equivalents.We consider all highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash
equivalents.




Revenue
Recognition.Revenues from licensing contracts are recorded
ratably over the life of the contract.  Contingency earnings such as
royalty fees are recorded when the amount can reasonably be determined and
collection is likely.




Loss Per
Share.Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period.  Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially
dilutive securities outstanding during the period.  Potentially
dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the
exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible debt
and convertible preferred stock. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from
the weighted average number of shares if their effect is
anti-dilutive.  We had a net loss for all periods presented herein;
therefore, none of the stock options and/or warrants outstanding or stock
associated with the convertible debt or with the convertible preferred shares
during each of the periods presented were included in the computation of diluted
loss per share as they were anti-dilutive.  As of September 30, 2009
and 2008,  there were 20,323,996 and 12,031,220 potentially dilutive
shares outstanding, respectively.




Income Taxes and
Deferred Income Taxes.We use the asset and liability approach
for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Deferred
income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the bases of assets and
liabilities as reported for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes
and for the future use of net operating losses.  We have recorded a
valuation allowance against the net deferred income tax asset.  The
valuation allowance reduces deferred income tax assets to an amount that
represents management’s best estimate of the amount of such deferred income tax
assets that more likely than not will be realized.  We cannot be
assured of future income to realize the net deferred income tax asset;
therefore, no deferred income tax asset has been recorded in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.




F-8


As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, we
had no unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax
positions.




Property and
Equipment.Property and equipment is stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is recorded using the
straight-line method over the following useful lives:







Computer
      equipment
            
            3-10
      yearsFurniture
      and fixtures
            
            3-7
      yearsTest
      equipment
            
            5-7
      yearsSoftware
      Computer
            
            3
      yearsMarketing
      and Promotional Video
            
            3
      years




Repairs
and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Betterments or
renewals are capitalized as incurred.




We review
long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured
by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered
to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.




Patents.It
is our policy to capitalize costs associated with securing a
patent.  Costs consist of legal and filing fees.  Once a
patent is issued, it will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its
estimated useful life.  Seven patents were issued as of September 30,
2009 and are being amortized over 8 years.




Stock-Based
Compensation.Employee and director stock-based compensation
expense is measured utilizing the fair-value method.




We
account for stock options granted to non-employees under the fair-value method
with stock-based compensation expense being charged to earnings on the earlier
of the date services are performed or a performance commitment
exists.




Expense
Categories.Salaries and Fringe Benefits of $1,481,111 and
$2,006,776 for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively,
include wages paid to and insurance benefits for our officers and employees as
well as stock based compensation expense for those
individuals.  Professional fees of $3,101,606
and  $2,735,360,  for the years ended September 30, 2009
and  2008, respectively, include amounts paid to attorneys,
accountants, and consultants, as well as the stock based compensation expense
for those services.  Of the $3,101,606 in professional fees incurred
in the year ended in September 30, 2009, $2,383,564 was for options
expense.  Of this amount, $1,368,450 arose from the issuance of
warrants in November 2008 to Trimax to acquire 2,000,000 shares of our common
stock.  Another approximate $360,000 arose from the issuance of stock
options to Sales Attack in September 2008 to acquire 531,000 shares of our
common stock.




Recent Accounting
Pronouncements




In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets, as amendment to SFAS No. 140(SFAS166). SFAS 166
eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the
requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional
disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial
statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial
assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity’s continuing
involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial
assets. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2009. We will adopt SFAS 166 in fiscal 2010 as applicable. It would not have had
any impact on any of the financial statements that we’ve issued to
date.





F-9


In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R),” (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46
(Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an
interpretation of ARB No. 51,” (FIN 46(R)) to require an enterprise to
perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or
interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest
entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative
approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a
variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for
determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in
facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at
risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those
investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly
impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures
that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent
information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity.
SFAS 167 becomes effective on January 1, 2010. We do not anticipate SFAS
167 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon
adoption.




Note 2— Concentrations

years ended September 30, 2009 and  2008, we had no revenues

Consulting
Agreements.

Reverse
Merger.A reverse merger with OCIS Corporation was consummated
on July 26, 2007.  The shareholders of Ecology-CA acquired 95% of the
voting stock of OCIS. OCIS had no significant operating history.  The
purpose of the acquisition was to provide Ecology with access to the public
equity markets in order to more rapidly expand its business
operations.  The consideration to the shareholders of OCIS was
approximately 5% of the stock, at closing, of the successor
company.  The final purchase price was agreed to as it reflects the
value to Ecology of a more rapid access to the public equity markets than a more
traditional initial public offering.

Shares.On
February 6, 2008, we entered into an allonge to the promissory note made to
Christopher Marquez on February 28, 2006.  The amount owed, including
principal and accrued interest, totaled $142,415 and the note matured on
December 31, 2007 (See Note 4).  The maturity date of the note
was extended to May 31, 2008, with interest continuing at 15% per
annum.  In consideration of this extension, we issued 60,000 shares of
our common stock to the note holder and granted the holder certain priority
payment rights.  This note has been paid in full.




On August
28, 2008, we entered into an agreement with Equity 11 to issue up to $5,000,000
in convertible preferred securities.  The securities accrue cumulative
dividends at 5% per annum and the entire amount then outstanding is convertible
at the option of the investor into shares of our common stock at $.50 per
share.  The preferred securities carry “as converted” voting
rights.  As of June 30, 2009, we had issued 2,436 of these convertible
preferred shares.  As we sell additional convertible preferred
securities under this agreement, we will issue attached warrants (500 warrants
for each $1,000 convertible preferred share sold).  The warrants will
be immediately exercisable, expire in five years, and entitle the investor to
purchase one share of our common stock at $.75 per share for each warrant
issued.  The table above identifies warrants issued in conjunction
with Equity 11’s additional purchases of our 5% convertible preferred stock
through September 30, 2009.




On May
15, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Equity 11 to issue convertible
preferred securities at $1,000 per share. The securities accrue cumulative
dividends at 5% per annum and the entire amount then outstanding is convertible
at the option of the investor into shares of our common stock at a price equal
to 20% of the average closing price of our common shares for the five trading
days immediately preceding the date of issuance. The preferred securities carry
“as converted” voting rights.  As of September 30, 2009, we have
issued 566 of these convertible preferred securities. These shares are
convertible into 5,802,377 of our common shares at the sole discretion of Equity
11.




In the

the preferred shares.

7 — Stock Options




Stock Option
Plan.On May 9, 2007, we adopted a stock option plan and
reserved 4,500,000 shares for the issuance of stock options or for awards of
restricted stock. On December 2, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the
addition of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to the 2007
Plan.  All prior grants of options were included under this
plan.  The plan provides for incentive stock options, nonqualified
stock options, rights to restricted stock and stock appreciation

consultants.  Only employees are eligible for incentive stock
options.




The
vesting terms are set by the Board of Directors. All options expire

The
Company granted non-statutory options as follows during the year ended September

of the options were exercisable as of September 30, 2009.  The options
are subject to various vesting periods between June 26, 2007 and
January 1, 2012.   The options expire on various dates
between June 1, 2016 and January 1, 2022. Additionally, the options
had no intrinsic value as of September 30, 2009.  Intrinsic value
arises when the exercise price is lower than the trading price on the date of
grant.




Employee
and director stock-based compensation expense is measured utilizing the
fair-value method.




We
account for stock options granted to non-employees under the fair-value method
with stock-based compensation expense being charged to earnings on the earlier
of the date services are performed or a performance commitment
exists.




In
calculating the compensation related to employee/consultants and directors stock
option grants, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following weighted average
assumptions:


Dividend
            NoneExpected
      volatility
            86.04%-101.73%Risk
      free interest rate
            .10%-5.11%Expected
      life
            5
      years




The
expected volatility was derived utilizing the price history of another publicly
traded nanotechnology company.  This company was selected due to the
fact that it is widely traded and is in the same equity sector as our
Company.




The risk
free interest rate figures shown above contain the range of such figures used in
the Black-Scholes calculation.  The specific rate used was dependent
upon the date of the option grant.




F-19


Based
upon the above assumptions and the weighted average $1.13 exercise price, the
options outstanding at September 30, 2009 had a total unrecognized compensation
cost of $648,330 which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average
vesting period of .5 years. Options cost of $3,182,773 was recorded as an
expense for the year ended September 30, 2009 of which $799,209 was recorded as
compensation expense and $2,383,564 was recorded as consulting
expense.  Of this amount, $1,368,450 was consulting expense due to the
issuance of warrants to Trimax LLC in November 2008 to acquire 2,000,000 shares
of our common stock.





Note
8 -- Income Taxes





The
Company has incurred losses since operations commenced in 1990.  The
Company has a net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes of
approximately $10,440,946. The total loss carry forward expiring on September
30, 2029 is $2,093,526, expiring on September 30, 2028 is $3,959,334, expiring
on September 30, 2027 is $3,513,085, expiring on September 30, 2026 is $426,697,
expiring on September 30, 2025 is $203,978, expiring on September 30, 2024 is
$198,988, expiring on September 30, 2023 is $25,597 and expiring on September
30, 2022 is $19,741.  The Company changed its year-end to September
30th from
February 28th
effective in fiscal 2006.





Deferred
income taxes arise from timing differences resulting from income and expense
items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different
periods.





The
principal sources of timing differences are different accrual versus cash
accounting methods used for financial accounting and tax purposes; the timing of
the utilization of the net operating losses, and different book versus tax
depreciation methods.





As of
September 30, 2009 and 2008, the deferred tax asset based on a 34% tax bracket
consists of the following:





2009
            
            2008Assets:Federal

            $                    -







The tax
benefit from net operating losses and differences in timing differ from the
federal statutory rate primarily due to the $959,506 change in the deferred tax
asset valuation allowance from September 30, 2008.As of September 30,
2009 and 2008, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax
positions.

Note
9 — Going Concern




The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business.  For the years ended September 30,
2009 and 2008, we incurred net losses of ($5,182,192) and ($6,770,322),
respectively.  As of September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008,
we had stockholders’ deficits of ($2,010,657) and ($1,239,810),
respectively.




Our
continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate
sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain
additional financing or refinancing as may be required, to develop commercially
viable products and processes, and ultimately to establish profitable
operations.  We have financed operations primarily through the
issuance of equity securities and debt and through some limited operating
revenues.  Until we are able to generate positive operating cash
flows, additional funds will be required to support our
operations.  We will need to acquire additional immediate funding in
fiscal year 2010 to continue our operations.  The financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going
concern.
