ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Nature of Operations
Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (the Company or ECD), through its subsidiaries,
commercializes materials, products and production processes for the alternative energy generation
(primarily solar energy), energy storage and information technology markets.
On August 19, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Solar
Integrated Technologies, Inc. (SIT), a Los Angeles-based company that manufactures, designs and
installs building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing systems for commercial rooftops. The
results of SITs operations have been included in the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements
beginning August 19, 2009.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP) for interim financial reporting, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements for interim reporting do not include all of
the information and notes or disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods should
not be considered indicative of results for a full year. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the period ended June 30, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of
the Companys subsidiaries in which it holds a controlling financial interest. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Companys share
of earnings or losses of nonconsolidated affiliates are included in our consolidated operating
results using the equity method of accounting when the Company is able to exercise significant
influence over the operating and financial decisions of the affiliate.
The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the Companys
financial statements were issued. No material subsequent events have occurred that required
recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty
involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those
estimates.
5
ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Capitalized Interest
Interest is capitalized during periods of active equipment construction. During the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred total interest costs of $6.5 million and
$7.4 million, respectively, of which $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, were capitalized.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred total interest costs of
$20.8 million and $21.1 million, respectively, of which $0.9 million and $0.4 million,
respectively, were capitalized.
General
The Companys significant accounting policies are disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and have not materially changed as of the date of
this Report with the exception of the following:
Restricted Cash
In September 2010, the Company entered into a letter of credit facility, which requires cash
collateral equal to 102% of any exposure under letters of credit issued under the facility. Such
collateral is recorded as Restricted cash on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revenues from Product Development Agreements
In July 2010, the Company began recording research and development cost sharing arrangements
as research and development expense as incurred. The amounts funded by the customer will be
recognized as an offset to the aggregate research and development expense rather than as contract
revenues.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On October 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-20,
Disclosures About the Credit Quality
of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses
(ASU 2010-20),which amends
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310
Receivables
(ASC 310) by requiring more
robust and disaggregated disclosures about the credit quality of an entitys financing receivables
and its allowance for credit losses. The objective of enhancing these disclosures is to improve
the understanding of (1) the nature of an entitys credit risk associated with its financing
receivables and (2) the entitys assessment of that risk in estimating its allowance for credit
losses as well as changes in the allowance and reasons for those changes. The adoption of ASC 310
did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On July 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of the FASB ASC, which amends Topic 810
"
Consolidations
(ASC 810) to change the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest
entity (VIE). It also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise
is the primary beneficiary of a VIE (and is therefore required to consolidate the VIE), by
requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis
will include, among other things, consideration of which enterprise has the power to direct the
activities of the entity that most significantly
impact the entitys economic performance and which enterprise has the obligation to absorb
losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the
VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary of a VIE.
6
ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Previously, reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only
was required when specific events had occurred. Qualifying special purpose entities, which were
previously exempt from the application of this standard, will be subject to the provisions of this
standard when it becomes effective. ASC 810 also requires enhanced disclosures about an
enterprises involvement with a VIE. ASC 810 is effective as of the beginning of the Companys
first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 810 did not
have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On July 1, 2010, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2009-13,
Revenue Recognition (Topic 605):
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
(ASU 2009-13), which amends ASC Subtopic 605-25 for separate consideration in
multiple-deliverable arrangements. ASU 2009-13 eliminates the use of the residual method for
allocating consideration, as well as the criteria that requires objective and reliable evidence of
fair value of undelivered elements in order to separate the elements in a multiple-element
arrangement. Upon adoption of the guidance the delivered element(s) will be considered a separate
unit of accounting only if both of the following criteria are met: (i) the delivered item(s) has
stand-alone value to the customer and (ii) if a general right of return exists relative to the
delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is substantially in the
control of the vendor and is considered probable. ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have any impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
On July 1, 2010, the Company adopted the FASB ASU 2009-15,
Accounting for Own-Share Lending
Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing
(ASU 2009-15),
which amends ASC 470-20 clarifies that share lending arrangements that are executed in connection
with convertible debt offerings or other financings should be measured at fair value and recognized
as a debt issuance cost which is amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the
financing arrangement as interest cost. In addition, ASU 2009-15 states that the loaned shares
should be excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending
arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the common and diluted
earnings per share calculation. The amended provisions of ASC 470-20 is effective for all
arrangements outstanding as of the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and
retrospective application is required for all periods presented. In addition, ASC 470-20 is
effective for arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period
that begins on or after June 15, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
There has been no issued accounting guidance not yet adopted by the Company that it believes
is material or potentially material to the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 Loss Per Share
Basic loss per common share attributable to ECD stockholders is computed by dividing the net
loss attributable to ECD stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted loss per share attributable to ECD stockholders reflect the potential
dilution that could

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net
loss attributable to ECD stockholders. The following table reconciles the numerator and
denominator to calculate basic and diluted loss per share attributable to ECD stockholders:

As
part of the agreement for the 3.0% Convertible Senior Notes due
2013 (Notes) issued in June 2008, the
Company also issued 3,444,975 shares of its common stock as part of a share-lending arrangement
with the underwriter. The purpose of the share-lending agreement is to facilitate transactions
which allow the investors in the Notes to hedge their investments in the Notes. The underwriter
received all proceeds
from any sale of shares pursuant to the share lending agreement. The shares must be returned
to the Company no later than the maturity date of the Notes. These shares are considered issued
and outstanding and have all the rights of any holder of the Companys common stock. However,
because the shares must be returned to the Company, the shares are not considered outstanding for
purposes of calculating earnings per share.

ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Notes are only convertible prior to March 15, 2013 under specific circumstances involving
the price of the Companys common stock, the price of the Notes, and certain corporate transactions
including, but not limited to, an offering of common stock at a price less than market, a
distribution of cash or other assets to stockholders, a merger, consolidation or other share
exchange, or a change in control of the Company. The holders of the Notes may convert the
principal amount of their notes into cash and, with respect to any amounts in excess of the
principal amount, if applicable, shares of the Companys common stock initially at a conversion
rate of 10.8932 shares (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $91.80 per
share) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. The holders of the Notes are only entitled to
amounts in excess of the principal amount if shares of the Companys common stock exceed a market
price of $91.80 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days during the applicable cash settlement
averaging period. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Companys
common stock price did not exceed the conversion price. Therefore, there are no contingently
issuable shares to include in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

Note 4 Acquisition
On August 19, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of SIT, a Los
Angeles-based company that manufactures, designs and installs building integrated photovoltaic
roofing systems for commercial rooftops.
The Company paid 6.75 pence per share, or approximately $11.3 million cash consideration for
all of outstanding shares of SIT. The Company also recognized a gain of $0.4 million due to the
effective settlement of the Companys and SITs preexisting contractual supply relationship. The
gain was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and was recorded in Selling, general and
administrative expenses in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company
incurred $3.0 million of acquisition-related costs during the nine months ended March 31, 2010
which are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Companys Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

The fair value of the accounts receivable acquired was $10.0 million. The gross contractual
amount due is $10.0 million, of which an insignificant amount is expected to be uncollectible. In
addition, sales-type lease receivables with a fair value of $12.7 million were acquired. The gross
contractual amount due is $18.8 million. A liability of $38.5 million has been recognized for
estimated warranty claims on products sold by SIT.
Results of operations for SIT are included in the Companys consolidated financial statements
beginning August 19, 2009. The unaudited pro forma combined historical results for the amounts of

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In conjunction with the SIT acquisition, goodwill of approximately $35.3 million was recorded
and consisted largely of the synergies and economies of scale from combining the operations of the
Company and SIT. All of the goodwill has been allocated to the Companys United Solar Ovonic
Segment. It is estimated that none of the goodwill recognized will be deductible for income tax
purposes.
In addition, intangible assets with a fair value of $2.8 million were recorded, including
trade name intangible assets with an indefinite life of $1.1 million. Amortization expense was
$0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, changing market conditions, losses incurred
to-date and the increased near-term capacity anticipated from our Technology Roadmap developed
during the third quarter, caused us to evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets and
goodwill. As a result, we wrote off all of our goodwill and intangible assets.

Note 6 Sales-Type Lease Receivables
In 2005 and 2006, SIT entered into Energy Services Agreements (ESAs) whereby customers
agreed to pay SIT, on a monthly basis over a 20-year period, for the electricity generated from the
BIPV roofing systems installed on their buildings. The customers pay for the energy produced by
solar systems at a rate specified in each contract. SIT recorded a lease receivable to reflect the
future stream of energy services payments from customers over the 20-year period.
Sales-type lease receivables consisted of the following:

Note 9 Long-Term Debt
Lines of Credit
During September 2010, the Company terminated its $30.0 million and $25.0 million secured
revolving credit facilities entered into in February 2008 with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The
security provided under the secured revolving credit facility has been released. The secured
revolving credit facility was replaced with a Letter of Credit Facility, also with JP Morgan Chase
Bank, N.A. Under the Letter of Credit Facility, we may issue up to $25.0 million in letters of
credit, which will be secured by cash equal to 102% of the letters of credit exposure. The Letter
of Credit Facility matures on February 4, 2013. Letters of credit totaling approximately $8.6
million as of September 30, 2010 were transferred from the cancelled secured revolving credit
facility to the new Letter of Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2011, outstanding letters of credit
totaled $7.3 million.
Convertible Senior Notes
In June 2008, the Company completed an offering of $316.3 million of Notes. The Notes bear
interest at a rate of 3.0% per year, payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year,
commencing on December 15, 2008. If the Notes are not converted, they will mature on June 15,
2013.
The Notes are only convertible prior to March 15, 2013 under specific circumstances involving
the price of the Companys common stock, the price of the Notes and certain corporate transactions
including, but not limited to, an offering of common stock at a price less than market, a
distribution of cash or other assets to stockholders, a merger, consolidation or other share
exchange, or a change in control of the Company. The holders of the Notes may convert the
principal amount of their notes into cash and, if applicable, shares of the Companys common stock
initially at a conversion rate of 10.8932 shares (equivalent to an initial conversion price of
approximately $91.80 per share) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. The holders of the Notes
are only entitled to amounts in excess of the principal amount if shares of the Companys common
stock exceed a market price of $91.80 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days during the
applicable cash settlement averaging period.
During September 2010, the Company entered into exchange agreements with certain holders of
the Companys Notes whereby the Company issued an aggregate of 1,309,263 shares of its common stock
in exchange for an aggregate principal amount of $9.1 million held by the holders of the Notes. In
connection with this exchange the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $1.2 million.
In addition, during December 2010, the Company entered into exchange agreements with certain
holders of the Companys Notes whereby the Company issued an aggregate of 3,401,355 shares of
common stock in exchange for an aggregate principal amount of $21.0 million held by holders of the
Notes. In connection with this exchange the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $2.1
million.
The effective interest rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was
10.2% and 10.4%, respectively. At March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the carrying amount of the
conversion option recorded in stockholders equity was $81.1 million and $81.9 million,
respectively.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 470-20 on July 1, 2010, with retrospective
application to prior periods. (See Note 1 Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information). As part of the agreement
for the Notes issued in June 2008, the Company also issued 3,444,975 shares as part of a
share-lending arrangement with the underwriter. The term of the share lending arrangement
coincides with the Notes term and will terminate no later than June 15, 2013. The fair value of the
outstanding loaned shares as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was $7.8 million and $14.1
million, respectively. The Company recognized debt issuance costs of $5.5 million which are
amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the share lending arrangement as
interest cost and are included in Other assets in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
Company has $2.9 million and $3.9 million of unamortized issuance costs associated with the
share-lending arrangement as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. In addition, the
Company recognized an additional $0.7 million and $0.6 million of interest costs relating to the
amortization of the issuance costs associated with the share lending arrangement for the nine
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The counterparty to the share lending
agreement is required to provide collateral at least equal to 100% of the market value of the
loaned shares when the rating from Standard and Poors Ratings Group for its indebtedness falls
below A-. No collateral was required as of March 31, 2011.
Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of
business, including, without limitation, commercial disputes, intellectual property matters,
personal injury claims, tax claims and employment matters. Although the outcome of any legal
matter cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that any of these legal
proceedings or matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position,
results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.

Note 11 Impairment
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its assets whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.
Due
to changing market conditions in the quarter ended March 31,
2011, losses incurred to-date and a dramatic and abrupt shift in
the Italian and French solar incentives structures, the Company concluded that the carrying values
of its assets may not be recoverable. Accordingly, the Company commenced with an impairment
analysis of the assets included in its United Solar Ovonic segment as of March 31, 2011. The
Companys assessment utilized quoted market prices, fair value appraisals, management forecasts and
discounted cash flow analyses. The impairment analysis is highly judgmental and involves the use
of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions have a substantial
impact on the amount of any impairment loss recorded. Discounted cash flow analyses are dependent
upon management estimates and assumptions of future sales trends, current and expected future
economic trends, market conditions and the effects of new technologies. The estimates and
assumptions used in the impairment analysis are consistent with the Companys business plan;
however, actual cash flows in the future may differ significantly from those previously forecasted.
Based on the results of the analysis, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $221.5
million in carrying value of the Companys property, plant and equipment and a reserve of $1.3
million on the development loan to Winch Energia S.R.L and its affiliates (collectively, Winch)
(See Note 17 Variable Interest Entity for additional information).
In
the quarter ended March 31, 2010, due to changing market
conditions, losses incurred to-date and the increased near-term
capacity anticipated from the Companys technology roadmap, the
Company concluded that the carrying values of its long-lived assets,
including goodwill, may not recoverable, and the Company recorded an
impairment loss of $358.0 million.
Note 12 Restructuring Charges
The Company has incurred ongoing restructuring charges to better align operating expenses with
near-term revenue expectations. In March 2011 and September 2010, the Company incurred additional
restructuring charges as part of its business realignment. The Company incurred total
restructuring costs of $2.1 million, all of which were recognized during the nine months ended
March 31, 2011 and were primarily related to employee severance. The March 2011 restructuring will
be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. The restructuring charges were primarily
incurred in the United Solar Ovonic segment.

Note 13 Share-Based Compensation
The Company records the fair value of stock-based compensation grants as an expense. Total
share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1.4
million and $1.2 million, respectively. Total share-based compensation expense for the nine months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $3.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
Stock Options
In order to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant, the Company
applies the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Inherent in this model are assumptions related to
expected stock-price volatility, option life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. While
the risk-free interest rate and dividend yield are less subjective assumptions, typically based on
factual data derived from public sources, the expected stock-price volatility and option life
assumptions require a greater level of judgment.
The Company uses an expected stock-price volatility assumption that is based on historical
implied volatilities of the underlying stock which is obtained from public data sources. The
risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury securities with a term equal to that
of the option. With regard to the weighted-average option life assumption, the Company considers
the exercise behavior of past grants and models the pattern of aggregate exercises. Patterns are
determined on specific criteria of the aggregate pool of optionees. Forfeiture rates are based on
the Companys historical data for stock option forfeitures.
A summary of the transactions during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 with respect to the
Companys stock options is as follows:

Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards (RSAs) consist of shares of common stock the Company issued to
employees and nonemployee directors. Upon issuance, RSAs become outstanding and have voting
rights. The shares issued to employees are subject to forfeiture and to restrictions which limit
the sale or transfer during the restriction period. The fair value of the RSAs is determined on
the date of grant based on the market price of the Companys common stock and is recognized as
compensation expense. The value of RSAs granted to employees is amortized over their three-year
vesting period, while the value of RSAs granted to nonemployee directors is amortized over a two-
to nine-year vesting period.
Information concerning RSAs awarded during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 is as follows:

Note 14 Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments held by the Company include corporate bonds, U.S. government securities,
and money market funds. The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring
basis, including cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities. The fair value of these
financial assets was determined based on observable and unobservable inputs.
Observable inputs consist of market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable
inputs reflect the Companys own market assumptions. These inputs create the following fair value
hierarchy:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active,
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or all other inputs that are
observable
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data which
require the Company to develop its own assumptions
|
20
ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of a financial instrument fall within different
levels of the hierarchy, the financial instrument is categorized based upon the lowest level input
that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Whenever possible, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value. In the
absence of quoted market prices, the Company uses independent sources and data to determine fair
value. At March 31, 2011, the fair value of the Companys investments in corporate bonds, U.S.
government securities, and money market funds was determined using quoted prices in active markets.
The carrying values of the Companys cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts
receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values. The fair value of the derivative
instruments recorded in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2011 was $0.3
million. The fair value of the Companys Notes was estimated at $160.9 million as of March 31,
2011 using level 1 inputs. In addition, the fair value of the Companys outstanding loaned shares
related to the share-lending agreement was estimated at $7.8 million as of March 31, 2011 using
level 1 inputs.

In addition to the items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company
also measured certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As a result of an impairment
analysis, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $222.8 million to write its assets down to
fair value (See Note 11 Impairment Loss for additional information). The Company has determined
that these fair value measurements rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Companys
assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs are not available. Accordingly, the
Company determined that these fair value measurements reside primarily within Level 3 of the fair

Income Taxes
The net tax expense of $0.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 primarily relates
to the Companys non-U.S. operations.
Included within the Companys net operating losses (NOLs) of $451.2 million, are acquired
NOLs of approximately $61.7 million in connection with the acquisition of SIT. Sections 382 and
383 of the Internal Revenue Code limit the utilization of these NOLs and certain other tax
attributes. These provisions apply after a Company has undergone an ownership change and the
amount of such limitation is based on the value of the stock of the acquired loss corporation
before the ownership change times a long-term tax exempt rate, a rate published by the Internal
Revenue Service. The estimated annual limitation of the acquired SIT NOLs is approximately $0.5
million.
The Company has a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets of $388.9
million (consisting primarily of U.S. NOL carryforwards which expire in various amounts between the
current year and 2030, and basis differences in property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets). Based on the Companys operating results for the preceding years, it was determined that
it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized.

Note 16 Derivative and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed in the normal course of business to foreign currency risks that affect
the Companys assets, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The primary
exposure to foreign currency risk is forecasted transactions denominated in Pesos and Euros. The
Company uses forward contracts to hedge the cost of operations in Pesos and committed transactions
denominated in Euros. The Company does not use forward contracts for speculative or trading
purposes.
The Company held derivative financial instruments totaling $5.0 million in notional value and
$0.3 million in fair value as of March 31, 2011. The Company accounts for these derivative
financial instruments using cash-flow-hedge accounting treatment and recognizes the effective
portion of the changes in fair value of the forward contracts as a component of Accumulated other
comprehensive loss, net in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2011, the
net unrealized gains on these contracts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net was
$0.3 million.
In addition, the Company held derivative financial instruments totaling $8.8 million notional
value and an insignificant amount in fair value as of March 31, 2011. These derivative financial
instruments are not designated as cash-flow-hedges and the Company recognizes the changes in the
fair value in Other nonoperating expense, net in the Companys Consolidated Statements of
Operations. As of March 31, 2011, the Company recorded $0.6 million in Other nonoperating
expense, net.
Note 17 Variable Interest Entity
A variable interest entity (VIE) is an entity that has (i) insufficient equity to permit it
to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) equity holders
that lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated by the
primary beneficiary, which is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities that most
significantly impact the entitys economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the
entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that potentially could be significant to
the entity. Variable interests in a VIE are contractual, ownership, or other financial interests
in a VIE that change with changes in the fair value of the VIEs net assets.
In 2010, the Company entered into a development loan agreement and a development services
agreement with Winch whereby the Company would fund Winchs acquisition of development rights for
solar installation projects in Italy. As part of these agreements, the Company provided Winch with
the funding necessary to procure the development rights and fund third party development
expenditures until permanent financing is obtained. The Company will also supply the solar modules
for the projects. Winch manages the development of the solar projects, arranges the construction
debt financing and procures the turnkey Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC)
contractor, who will install the solar modules supplied by the Company. The development loan is
secured by a pledge in equity in the Winch entities holding the projects. In the event of a loan
default, the Company may request that the Winch shareholders transfer 100% of their equity
interests to it for a fee of 1 Euro. If this provision is enforced and the Company realizes the
value of its loan by selling or otherwise monetizing the development rights, the net proceeds
(after deducting costs, interest, and other amounts owed to it) are to be remitted to Winch.
23
ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, Winch secured third party financing for the
first group of projects, which were allocated into a separate legal entity, and initiated the
construction of these projects. The Companys development loan attributed to these projects was
$5.2 million and, in connection with the third party financing, $3.1 million was repaid along with
$0.4 million in interest and services to the Company and $2.1 million was converted into an
unsecured vendor loan, which is subordinate to the new third party financing. Further, the Company
sold $11.0 million of products to the EPC contractor during the second quarter of 2011 for the
projects in this separate legal entity.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, Winch secured third party financing for the
second group of projects, which were allocated into a separate legal entity and initiated
construction of these projects using the Company as the EPC contractor. The Companys development
loan attributed to these projects was $5.8 million which was repaid to the Company along with $0.8 million of accrued interest
and services. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company began shipping products for
this group of projects and in accordance with the Companys accounting policies for system sales,
the Company recognized $0.1 million of system revenue using the percentage of completion method
related to these projects and will continue to recognize system revenue as these projects progress.
In connection with the repayment of the development loans in the second and third quarter of
fiscal year 2011, the Company has released that portion of the pledge attributable to these
portions of the development loans.
As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 the outstanding balance of the development loan was
$7.0 million and $14.2 million, respectively. The development loan bears interest at 5% per annum
and the Company will also receive a fee equivalent to a 10% annual interest rate on the outstanding
borrowings under the loan as compensation for services provided to support the development of the
projects. These amounts are payable upon maturity of the development loan. Additionally, as of
March 31, 2011, the outstanding balance of the vendor loan to the separate legal entity was $2.1
million. The vendor loan bears interest at 5.5% per annum and the interest is payable upon
repayment of the vendor loan.
As a result of the change in market conditions in Italy (See Note 11 Impairment Loss for
additional information) the Company has performed an assessment of the recoverability of the
development loan to Winch and recorded a reserve of $1.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
The Company continuously re-assesses whether ( i) entities we are associated with are still
VIEs and (ii) whether we are the primary beneficiary of those entities. Previously, the Company
determined that all of Winch was a VIE and should be consolidated in the Companys consolidated
results of operations, because the Companys interest was the sole source of financial support to
Winch. As the separate legal entities obtained third-party financing and commenced operations, the
Company is no longer required to consolidate the separate legal entities due to our lack of any
power to direct the significant activities of any of these legal entities, combined with our
diminished financial support. Although, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the remainder of
Winch, it has not been consolidated because it is not material to the Companys results of
operations, financial condition, or liquidity as of and for the period ended March 31, 2011. The
Winch VIE had net assets of $6.9 million consisting primarily of development rights on the
properties that are yet to be developed, net of the development loan due to the Company.

Litigation
On July 13, 2009, Ovonic Battery Company (OBC), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company,
and Chevron Technology Ventures LLC (CTV) completed a sale of 100% of the membership interests in
Cobasys to SB LiMotive Co. Ltd. for $1. In connection with the sale of Cobasys, the Amended and
Restated Operating Agreement, dated July 2, 2004, was terminated effective as of the transaction
date. Termination of the Operating Agreement was effectuated by a Termination Agreement dated as
of the transaction date. This transaction coincides with settlement of a pending lawsuit against
Cobasys filed in August 2008 by Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, Inc. (MBUSI). In connection
with settling the lawsuit, OBC paid MBUSI $1.1 million from the $1.3 million in royalties
distributed to it by Cobasys and entered into a mutual release with MBUSI of all Cobasys-related
claims. In addition, Cobasys restructured its intellectual property licenses with the Company and
OBC so that OBC has royalty-free, exclusive rights to the technology for defined non-transportation
uses and Cobasys has royalty-free exclusive rights for defined transportation uses.
25
ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with these transactions, OBC, CTV and the Company settled and jointly dismissed
their pending arbitration without any finding of financial liability. These parties entered into
mutual releases and agreed to the terms of the Cobasys sale transaction. In July 2009, the Company
recorded the $1.3 million received in connection with this settlement as a Distribution from joint venture and
the $1.1 million paid to MBUSI as Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
This section summarizes significant factors affecting the Companys consolidated operating
results, financial condition and liquidity for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011. The
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A)
included in the Report should be read in conjunction with the MD&A included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
with the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this
Report.
Overview
We design, manufacture, sell and install photovoltaic (PV) products, known as PV or solar
laminates that generate clean, renewable energy by converting sunlight into electricity. We also
receive fees and royalties from licensees of our nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery technology
and sell high performance nickel hydroxide used in NiMH batteries, and receive funds for product
development agreements under government sponsored programs.
We believe that there remains strong interest in alternative energy in general and solar in
particular, but existing global political and financial conditions are significantly disrupting key
solar markets. Our United Solar Ovonic segment has been significantly impacted by these
disruptions, as reflected by the substantial decline in our solar shipments, revenues and income
during the fiscal third quarter, principally due to our concentration on two of these markets,
Italy and France. While we believe that these markets will return as attractive markets for us,
albeit with different dynamics, we have undertaken several initiatives to improve our business to
respond to the near disruptions and better position our company for the future. These initiatives
include restructuring to better align our cost structure to our expected near term run rates and
strategic priorities, including a substantial transition of our management leadership; enhancing
our focus on our technology roadmap to improve the conversion efficiency and reduce the cost of our
solar products; adjusting our sales focus in Europe to better balance direct project sales to our
existing channel partners and other leading building materials companies; expanding our sales focus
in North America and emerging markets, particularly with building materials companies, and solar
integrators and distributors; and introducing new products that leverage the unique characteristics
of our products (e.g., lightweight, flexible and easy to install/integrate).
We have incurred restructuring expenses as a result of certain of these activities and may
incur additional restructuring expenses as we pursue further cost reduction activities in the
future. We have also recognized under-absorption of overhead costs, and associated period costs,
resulting from our production adjustments to respond to near-term market conditions and may
recognize similar costs in the future if we do not sustainably operate our facilities at productive
capacity.
Further, due to changing market conditions, losses incurred to-date and a dramatic and abrupt
shift in the Italian and French solar incentives structures, we concluded that the carrying values
of our assets may not be recoverable. Accordingly, we commenced with an impairment analysis of the
assets included in our United Solar Ovonic segment as of March 31, 2011. Our assessment utilized
quoted market prices, fair value appraisals, management forecasts and discounted cash flow
analyses. The impairment analysis is highly judgmental and involves the use of significant
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions have a substantial impact on the amount
of any impairment loss recorded. Discounted cash flow analyses are dependent upon management
estimates and assumptions of future sales trends, current and expected future economic trends,
market conditions and the effects of new technologies. The
27
estimates and assumptions used in the impairment analysis are consistent with our business
plan; however, actual cash flows in the future may differ significantly from those previously
forecasted. Based upon the results of our analysis, we recorded an impairment loss of $221.5
million in carrying value of our property, plant and equipment and a reserve of $1.3 million on the
development loan to Winch.
Key Indicators of Financial Condition and Operating Performance
In evaluating our business, we use product and system sales, gross profit, pre-tax income,
earnings per share, net income, EBITDA, EBITDARS, cash flow from operations and other key
performance metrics. We also use production and shipments, measured in megawatts (MW), and gross
margins on product and system sales as key performance metrics for our United Solar Ovonic segment,
particularly in connection with the manufacturing operations in this segment. During the quarter
ended March 31, 2011, we produced 26.3 MW compared to 10.4 MW for the same period in 2010.

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $19.2 million, a decrease of
$47.1 million or 71.1%, compared to the same period in 2010. This decrease in total revenues was
due to a $37.1 million decline in product sales, an $8.4 million decline in system sales and a $1.6
million decline in expenses from product development agreements. The $37.1 million decline in
product sales is primarily comprised of a decline of $36.1 million due to lower sales volume. The
$8.4 million decline in system sales was due to the completion of a large scale project in Italy in
the same period in 2010. The
28
$1.6 million decline in revenues from product development agreements was due to an accounting
reclassification. Effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, funding from cost sharing
agreements is recorded net with product development and research expenses. See Note 1 Nature of
Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Accounting Policies paragraph Revenues from
Product Development Agreements to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information.
Cost of product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $16.6 million, a decrease
of $42.9 million or 72.1%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decline was primarily due to a
$31.4 million decline related to lower sales volume, a $3.0 million decline due to a lower cost
product mix and a reduction in unabsorbed overheard charges of $7.5 million over the same period in
2010.
Cost of system sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $1.0 million, a decrease of
$7.6 million or 88.4%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease was due to the completion
of a large scale project in Italy in the same period in 2010.
The combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and
research expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $1.4 million, a decrease of $2.8
million or 65.9%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower
product development and research expenses on funded projects. $2.2 million of gross expense in the
current quarter was partially offset by $0.7 million of funding from cost sharing agreements.
Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, funding from cost sharing agreements is recorded net
with product development and research expenses. See Note 1 Nature of Operations, Basis of
Presentation and Summary of Accounting Policies paragraph Revenues from Product Development
Agreements to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were
$11.1 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 1.4%, compared to the same period in 2010. The
increase was primarily related to an increase in bad debt expense partially offset by a decrease in
consulting and related services.
During the third quarter, changing market conditions caused us to evaluate the recoverability
of our assets. As a result, we recorded an impairment loss of $221.5 million in carrying value of
our property, plant and equipment and a reserve of $1.3 million on the development loan to Winch.
See Note 11 Impairment Loss and Note 17 Variable Interest Entity to our Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we incurred restructuring charges to better
align operating expenses with near-term revenue expectations. The $1.5 million of charges were
primarily for employee severance offset by refinements to our existing reserve estimates. See Note
12 Restructuring Charges to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $2.3 million, a decrease of $3.8
million or 61.9%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in total revenues was
primarily due to a nonrecurring license fee of $2.5 million in the year-ago period, a decrease in
sales of nickel hydroxide materials of $0.9 million and reduced product development agreement
revenue of $0.4 million.
Cost of product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased by $0.7 million or
82.2%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease was due to reduced production and sales
of nickel hydroxide materials.
Combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and
research expenses were $1.4 million, an increase of
$0.2 million or 17.5%, compared to the same
period in 2010. A decrease in the cost from product development agreements of $0.3 million was
due to the completion of certain product development programs and a change in our accounting policy
for revenues from product development agreements which requires amounts funded by the customer to
be recognized as an offset to the aggregated research and development expense rather than contract
revenues. Increased product development and research expenses of $0.4 million were primarily due
to nonrecurring charges.
Corporate and Other
Selling, general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of corporate operations,
including human resources, legal, finance, strategy, information technology, business development,
and corporate governance, were $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease
of $1.1 million or 20.2%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a
decrease in payroll and payroll related costs of $0.7 million.
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense was $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $8.1
million in the same period in 2010. The $4.2 million decrease was principally due to $1.0 million
of reduced interest expense, $0.8 million of increased interest income and an increase of $2.4 million of
foreign exchange income.
30
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $0.1
million income tax benefit in the same period in 2010.

Total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $151.4 million, a decrease of
$3.3 million or 2.1%, compared to the same period in 2010. This decrease in total revenues was
primarily due to a $5.6 million decline in product sales, as well as a $6.8 million decline in
product development revenue, partially offset by a $9.1 million increase in system sales.
The $5.6 million decline in product sales was primarily due to a $17.1 million decline in
sales due to a lower average selling price, offset by an $11.5 million increase in sales due to
higher volume. The $9.1 million increase in system sales was due to revenues from a large scale
project in the United States in the first half of the current fiscal year. The $6.8 million
decline in revenues from product development agreements was due to an accounting reclassification.
Effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, funding from cost sharing agreements is
recorded net with product development and research expenses. See Note 1 Nature of Operations,
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Accounting Policies paragraph Revenues from Product
Development Agreements to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.
31
Cost of product sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $104.4 million, a decrease
of $29.2 million or 21.8%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decline was primarily due to
$13.5 million of reduced unabsorbed overhead charges, a $1.7 million decline in cost due to a
combination of lower cost product mix and higher volume, with the remainder due to improved
operating efficiencies.
Cost of system sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $23.1 million, an increase
of $3.7 million or 18.8%, compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to
continuing costs from a large scale project in the United States, with the majority of those costs
being incurred in the first half of the current fiscal year.
The combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and
research expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $5.2 million, a decrease of $7.8
million or 59.7%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower
product development and research expenses on funded projects. The $8.1 million gross expense in
the current quarter was partially offset by $2.8 million of funding from cost sharing agreements.
Effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, funding from cost sharing agreements is
recorded net with product development and research expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were
$32.4 million, an increase of $2.2 million or 7.4%, compared to the same period in 2010. The
increase was primarily related to an increase in bad debt and incentive plan expense, partially
offset by savings in supplies and consulting related services.
During the third quarter, changing market conditions caused us to evaluate the recoverability
of our assets. As a result, we recorded an impairment loss of $221.5 million in carrying value of
our property, plant and equipment and a reserve of $1.3 million on the development loan to Winch.
See Note 11 Impairment Loss and Note 17 Variable Interest Entity to our Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we incurred restructuring charges to better align
operating expenses with near-term revenue expectations. The $2.1 million of charges were primarily
for employee severance offset by refinements to our existing reserve estimates. See Note 12
Restructuring Charges to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.

Total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $8.0 million, a decrease of $5.4
million or 40.4%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in total revenues was
primarily due to a nonrecurring license fee of $2.5 million in the year-ago period, a decrease in
sales of nickel hydroxide materials of $2.2 million and reduced product development agreement
revenue of $0.8 million.
Cost of product sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $0.3 million, a decrease
of $1.9 million or 86.8%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease was due to reduced
production and sales of nickel hydroxide materials.
Combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and
research expenses were $2.9 million, a decrease of $0.5 million or 15.1%, compared to the same
period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the completion of certain product development
programs and a change in our accounting policy for revenues from product development agreements
which requires amounts funded by the customer to be recognized as an offset to the aggregated
research and development expense rather than contract revenues.
Corporate and Other
Selling, general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of corporate operations,
including human resources, legal, finance, strategy, information technology, business development,
and corporate governance, were $15.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease
of $8.0 million or 33.6%, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to
decreases in payroll and payroll related costs of $1.1 million, outside services of $1.2 million
and legal fees of $1.1 million and continued reductions in other expense categories.
33
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense was $13.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $20.5
million in the same period in 2010. The $7.3 million decrease was principally due to a $3.3
million gain on debt extinguishment, $1.5 million of reduced interest expense, $1.3 million of
increased interest income and an increase of $2.4 million of foreign exchange income offset by $1.3
million distribution from our previously owned Cobasys joint venture in fiscal year 2010.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $0.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $2.0
million income tax benefit in the same period in 2010. The increase in income taxes primarily
relates to the Company electing in 2009, for federal tax purposes, to monetize research and
development and alternative minimum tax credits and carry back net operating losses to recover
taxes paid in prior periods. These elections are not available under the current tax law.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We
believe that cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs
for our current production and sales operations. Over time we expect to require additional sources of liquidity to fully fund capital expenditures and other costs associated with implementation of our multi-year technology roadmap and to retire our Notes due in June 2013. At March 31, 2011, we had consolidated net working capital of $238.3
million, including $161.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments consisting
of corporate bonds and U.S. Government agency notes.
Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities decreased $61.9 million to $2.8 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 2011 from $64.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This
decrease was driven by $42.8 million of favorable changes in net working capital and $19.1 million
of reduced net loss adjusted for non-cash items.
Net cash used in investing activities was $19.1 million for the nine months ended March 31,
2011 a decrease of $100.2 million from $81.2 million of cash provided by investing activities for
the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was principally due to increased purchases of
investments of $19.2 million, $95.5 million of reduced proceeds from maturities and sales of our
investments, offset by $2.1 million of net cash acquired from the acquisition of SIT in fiscal year
2010, proceeds from development loans of $7.2 million, $7.9 million in changes in restricted cash,
and increased capital expenditures of $2.9 million.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased $13.5 million to $1.3 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 2011 from $14.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This
decrease was principally due to the $5.7 million and $8.0 million of repayments of the revolving
credit facility and convertible notes made in the prior year.
Short-term Borrowings
During September 2010, we terminated our $30.0 million and $25.0 million secured revolving
credit facilities entered into in February 2008 with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The security
provided under the secured revolving credit facility has been released. The secured revolving
credit facility was replaced with a Letter of Credit Facility, also with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.
Under the Letter of Credit
34
Facility, we may issue up to $25.0 million in letters of credit, which will be secured by cash
equal to 102% of the letters of credit exposure. The Letter of Credit Facility matures on February
4, 2013. Letters of credit totaling approximately $8.6 million as of September 30, 2010 were
transferred from the cancelled secured revolving credit facility to the new Letter of Credit
Facility. As of March 31, 2011, outstanding letters of credit totaled $7.3 million.
Convertible Senior Notes
Our
3.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 (Notes) bear interest at a rate of 3.0% per year, payable on
June 15 and December 15 of each year. If the Notes are not converted, they will mature on June 15,
2013. The Notes are only convertible prior to March 13, 2013 under specific circumstances involving
the price of our common stock, the price of the Notes and certain corporate transactions including,
but not limited to, an offering of common stock at a price less than market, a distribution of cash
or other assets to stockholders, a merger, consolidation or other share exchange, or a change in
control of ECD. The holders of the Notes may convert the principal amount of their Notes into cash
and, if applicable, shares of our common stock initially at a conversion rate of 10.8932 shares
(equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $91.80 per share) per $1,000 principal
amount of the Notes. The holders of the Notes are only entitled to amounts in excess of the
principal amount if shares of our common stock exceed a market price of $91.80 for a period of 20
consecutive trading days during the applicable cash settlement averaging period. The applicable
conversion rate will be subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. The notes are senior
unsecured obligations of ECD and rank equal in right of payment with any future senior unsecured
debt of ECD, and senior in right of payment to all of ECDs existing and future debt, if any, that
is subordinated to the Notes.
In September 2010, we entered into exchange agreements with certain holders of our Notes
whereby we issued an aggregate of 1,309,263 shares of common stock in exchange for an aggregate
principal amount of $9.1 million of the Notes. In connection with this exchange we recorded a gain
on debt extinguishment of $1.2 million. In addition, in December 2010, we entered into exchange
agreements with certain holders of our Notes whereby we issued an aggregate of 3,401,355 shares of
common stock in exchange for an aggregate principal amount of $21.0 million of the Notes. In
connection with this exchange we recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $2.1 million. In future
periods we may pursue additional debt-for-equity exchanges and other transactions to reduce the
outstanding principal of our Notes prior to their maturity.
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates are disclosed in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. In addition, new
accounting policies adopted during the period are disclosed in Note 1 Nature of Operations, Basis
of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include
statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future sales or
performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions,
business trends and other information that is not historical information. When used in this
report, the words estimates, expects, anticipates, projects, plans, intends,
believes, forecasts, foresees, likely, may,
35
should, goal, target and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based upon information
available to us on the date of this report.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many
of which are outside of our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, among other things, the matters
discussed in Item 1A Risk Factors, of this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, and in other filings with the SEC from time to time. Any or all
of these factors could cause our actual results and financial or legal status for future periods to
differ materially from those expressed or referred to in any forward-looking statement. All
written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their
entirety by these cautionary statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on
which they are made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update, amend or
clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
There may be other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the
results referred to in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly
update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date made
or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

Item 3
:
|
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|
The following discussion about our exposure to market risk of financial instruments contains
forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those described.
Interest Rate Risk
Our investments in financial instruments are comprised of debt securities. All such
instruments are classified as securities available-for-sale. We do not invest in portfolio equity
securities, or commodities, or use financial derivatives for trading purposes. Our debt security
portfolio (corporate notes and U.S. Government agency notes) represents funds
held temporarily, pending use in our business and operations. We had
$109.0 million of these
investments as of March 31, 2011. It is our policy that investments shall be rated A or higher
by Moodys or Standard and Poors, no single investment (excluding cash equivalents) shall
represent more than 10% of the portfolio and at least 10% of the total portfolio shall have
maturities of 90 days or less. Our market risk primarily relates to the risks of changes in the
credit quality of issuers. An interest rate increase or decrease of 1% would increase or decrease
the value of our portfolio by approximately $1.0 million as of March 31, 2011.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We primarily conduct our business in U.S. Dollars, which may impact our foreign customers and
suppliers as a result of changes in currency exchange rates. These factors may adversely impact
our existing or future sales agreements and require us to reallocate product shipments or pursue
other remedies.
The majority of SITs sales in Europe are denominated in Euros while the related costs of
sales are denominated in Euros and U.S. Dollars. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, an
increase or a decrease in exchange rates of 1% would increase or decrease our foreign currency
transaction gain by approximately $0.4 million.
We recognized a net foreign currency transaction gain of $1.2 million and loss of $1.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We recognized a net foreign
currency transaction gain of $0.8 million and loss of $1.4 million for the nine months ended March
31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Controls and Procedures
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of
management, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon this
evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the Companys most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
