NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information has been prepared by Energy Composites Corporation (“Company” or “ECC”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, it does not include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of this financial information have been included. Financial results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole or any other interim period. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2009 audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2010.

Nature of Business

ECC is a manufacturer, installer and marketer of fiberglass products which are sold throughout the United States, but primarily in the Midwest. The Company also has a service division that provides installation and repair of various tank and piping systems. The Company serves the paper, petro-chemical, water, waste-water, bio-fuel and power industries.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ECC Corrosion, Inc. (“ECC-C”), formerly known as Advanced Fiberglass Technologies, Inc. (“AFT”), and Innovative Composite Solutions, LLC (“ICS”), after elimination of all intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits.

Concentrations of Risk

Cash Deposits: The Company maintains its cash in high-quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed the federally insured limits.

Credit Risk and Major Customers: Financial instruments that may subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company grants credit to its customers throughout the United States in the normal course of business. Customer creditworthiness is routinely monitored and collateral is not required. The following is a schedule of significant sales to customers for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and significant customer accounts receivable balances at September 30, 2010 and 2009:

			Percentage of
	Percentage of		Trade Accounts
	Total Sales		Receivable
Customer	2010	2009	2010	2009
1	18.7%	5.8%	14.8%	2.2%
2	10.7	0.6	38.3	-
3	2.0	49.8	4.3	54.9
	31.4%	56.2%	57.4%	57.1%

Labor Force: A significant part of the Company’s production labor force is covered by two collective bargaining agreements which expire in May 2012.

ENERGY COMPOSITES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of balance sheet presentation, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds, savings funds and investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Segment Reporting

Through September 30, 2010, the Company provided products and services into one reportable operating segment, Industrial Tank and Piping. The results of our distribution company, ICS, are immaterial for purposes of segment reporting and are included in the Industrial Tank and Piping segment. The detail of products and service activity in this operating segment is further described in Note 13.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on the accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable; eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires arrangement consideration to be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method; and requires a vendor to determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner consistent with that used to determine the selling price of the deliverable on a stand-alone basis. This guidance also expands the required disclosures related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, or disclosures.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary.” This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset de-recognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. There is no effect on the Company’s financial statements from the current adoption of this guidance.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-6, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” This update requires additional disclosure within the roll forward of activity for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the update requires enhanced disclosures of the valuation techniques and inputs used in the fair value measurements within Levels 2 and 3. The new disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. As ASU 2010-6 only requires enhanced disclosures, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Note 2. Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2010, the Company had cash on hand of $125,396, a working capital deficiency of $1,668,159 net of Prepaid Consulting Expense, a net loss of $3,347,963 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and an accumulated deficit of $13,297,139. The Company is continuing its efforts to improve its overall financial condition and results of operations, including obtaining additional financing and restructuring certain debt arrangements, some of which are disclosed as follows:

On March 8, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the temporary reduction of the exercise price of outstanding warrants to $2.50 per share from $5.00 per share. The temporary exercise price reduction was valid from March 22, 2010 through May 6, 2010. After May 6, 2010, the warrants reverted back to their original terms. As of May 6, 2010, the Company had received $590,823 related to the exercise of 236,329 warrants to purchase its common stock at $2.50 per share from current warrant holders.

On August 3, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a debt for equity exchange transaction between M&W Fiberglass, LLC, an entity wholly owned by the Company's majority shareholders Jamie L. and Jennifer L. Mancl, and the Company. The transaction, which closed on August 13, 2010, resulted in the conversion of the outstanding principal and interest under the existing long-term note with M&W Fiberglass to common shares of the Company at $2.50 per share. The principal balance of the note converted at August 13, 2010 was $970,770 and accrued interest was $5,455 which upon conversion resulted in the issuance of 390,490 restricted common shares of ECC. The exchange resulted in a $970,770 reduction in the Company’s long-term debt obligations and an addition to stockholder's equity of $976,225.

On August 23, 2010, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with its founder and majority shareholder, Jamie L. Mancl, pursuant to which Mr. Mancl agreed to make a $450,000 equity investment in the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Mancl purchased 180,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $2.50 per share.

On September 7, 2010, the Company issued 207,506 restricted shares of common stock as payment in full of unsecured, short-term notes payable to five private investors (primarily existing shareholders) in connection with financing to fund operations. The principal balance of the notes and accrued interest converted under the agreements was $500,000 and $18,763, respectively. The exchange resulted in a $500,000 reduction in short-term debt obligations and a $518,763 addition to stockholder's equity.

The Company also needs to receive additional financing within the near term in order to continue its pace of selling, general and administrative spending and keep the WindFiber™ project moving forward. If additional funding is not received within the next three months, the Company will have to reduce selling, general and administrative costs, including costs associated with the WindFiber™ project.

Note 4. Prepaid Consulting Expense

On August 24, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 3,375,000 restricted shares of common stock to Diversified Equities Partners, LLC, an entity owned by a minority shareholder of ECC, as a non-refundable retainer for financial advisory consulting services to be rendered through September 30, 2012. These shares were valued at $4,725,000 using the closing market price of our stock on August 24, 2010 of $1.40 per share and recorded to Additional Paid-In Capital and the debit recorded to Prepaid Consulting Expense. The expense will be amortized over the 25 month period of the contract. $189,000 was recorded to expense under the contract for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Real Estate Purchase

On April 30, 2010, the Company purchased approximately 94 acres of land from the City of Wisconsin Rapids as part of the Company’s WindFiber™ expansion. The purchase price of the land was $47,735. Because the purchase price of the real estate was well below estimated fair market values, the real estate was recorded at its estimated fair market value of $5,000 per acre. The excess fair market value of $429,494 was recorded to Deferred Income – Land Purchase and will be amortized over the life of the planned manufacturing plant to be built once funding is obtained.

Note 7. Financing Arrangements

Line of Credit – Bank

The Company utilizes a line of credit with Nekoosa Port Edwards State Bank (“NPESB”) that provides for maximum borrowings of $250,000, bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.75% at September 30, 2010 and matures in December 2010. The line is secured by all business assets of ECC-C (formerly AFT), an assignment of life insurance on the officer/stockholder, a junior mortgage on land and buildings, and an unlimited guaranty by ECC. The Company had a balance of $34,000 and $117,512 on the line of credit at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Short-Term Notes Payable

The Company uses short-term notes from NPESB for purposes of bulk purchases of inventory and project financing in addition to utilizing its line of credit. The underlying inventory and customer purchase orders serve as specific collateral for these notes. In addition, the short-term notes are also typically secured by all business assets of the Company. The notes bear interest at fixed rates. The notes are typically twelve months or less. The Company had $550,000 and $1,250,000 of outstanding notes payable to NPESB with weighted average interest rates of 6.75% as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

The Company also utilizes unsecured, short-term financing from private investors (primarily existing shareholders) to fund operations. These twelve month notes bear interest at 6.0%. The Company had $0 and $470,000 of outstanding notes payable to these private investors at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

On March 13, 2009, the Company executed an amendment to the credit agreement for the three industrial revenue bonds held by NPESB. The amendment to the credit agreement includes the redefinition of the covenants attached to the bonds. Under the terms of the amended credit agreement, the covenants apply to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The quarterly covenants require the consolidated Company to maintain (a) a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1 and (b) a Total Indebtedness to Equity Ratio of not more than 3.5 to 1.0.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (i) EBITDA for the 12-month period ending on the measurement date to (ii) interest expenses plus principal payments coming due during the 12-month period beginning on the day after measurement. EBITDA is defined as net income after taxes plus a) interest expense, b) federal, state and local taxes, c) depreciation and amortization expenses, and d) extraordinary losses minus extraordinary gains. The Company did not calculate this ratio at September 30, 2010 because the Company had recorded negative EBITDA for the previous 12-month period.

Total Indebtedness to Equity Ratio is defined as the ratio of all liabilities or obligations to Equity. Equity is defined as the total of all assets of the Company minus the aggregate of all liabilities, all determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistent with those followed in preparation of the financial statements. This ratio at September 30, 2010 has been calculated by the Company as follows:

Total current liabilities	$	3,586,581
Long-term debt obligations, net of current portion		3,524,318
Total indebtedness	$	7,110,899

Total stockholders' equity	$	5,189,122
Total indebtedness to equity		1.4

As of December 31, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with the restrictive financial covenants and as of September 30, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with the Debt Service Coverage Ratio covenant relating to the industrial revenue bonds. However, on December 31, 2009, the Company received a letter from the lender waiving compliance with these covenants through September 30, 2010. The next measurement date of these covenants will be December 31, 2010. If the Company is not in compliance with the covenants at December 31, 2010, the Company will request another waiver from NPESB.

Note 8. Convertible Notes Payable

In August 2008, the Company began a private placement offering of Units, each Unit consisting of (i) a 3-year, 6% convertible debenture with a conversion price of $2.50 (the “Conversion Price”) per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends) (the “Debentures”), and (ii) a number of warrants equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debenture (the “Warrants”). This placement offering was in anticipation of the AFT reverse acquisition taking place which became effective on October 14, 2008.

ENERGY COMPOSITES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Each Warrant is immediately exercisable into shares of common stock for a term of 3 years at $5.00 per share. The Warrants also provide anti-dilution protection for the following events: reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale; subdivision, combination or other dividend of the Company’s Common Stock.

The private placement was closed on December 14, 2008. Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $6,370,000 were sold which included the issuance of 2,548,000 Warrants. The Debentures are considered to be conventional convertible debt.

The issued Warrants were deemed to have a relative fair market value of $4,068,422 which was recorded as a discount to the face value of the Debentures and as a credit to Additional Paid-In Capital and will be accreted to interest expense over the 3-year term of the warrants using the effective interest method. The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair value of the Warrants.

The proceeds of the Debentures were allocated based on the relative fair value of the Debentures and Warrants as of the commitment date. The Company then calculated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the Debentures and because the amount of the beneficial conversion feature exceeded the fair value allocated to the Debentures, the amount of the beneficial conversion feature to be recorded was limited to the proceeds allocated to the Debentures. Accordingly, the beneficial conversion feature was calculated to be $2,301,578 and was recorded as an additional discount on the Debentures and a credit to Additional Paid-In Capital of $1,412,578 and a credit of $889,000 to deferred income tax liability. The Company is accreting the beneficial conversion feature to interest expense over the 3-year term of the debt using the effective interest method.

The following table summarizes the convertible note balance as of September 30, 2010:

Balance at January 1, 2008	$	-

Plus: gross proceeds received in 2008		6,370,000

Less: conversion of debt to common stock		(165,000	)

Balance at September 30, 2010 (face value $1,230,000)	$	875,507

All outstanding convertible debentures at September 30, 2010 totaling $1,230,000 mature at various dates in 2011 and are included in the long-term debt maturities table found in Note 7.

The effective annual interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 49%. The rate is higher than the stated rate of 6% due to the amortization of the discount recorded against the debt for the detachable warrants and beneficial conversion feature.

Note 10. Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB guidance. This guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and, accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties have been recorded at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. In accordance with the guidance, the Company has adopted a policy under which, if required to be recognized in the future, interest related to the underpayment of income taxes will be classified as a component of interest expense and any related penalties will be classified in operating expenses in the statements of operations. The Company’s remaining open tax years subject to examination include the years ended December 31, 2008 through 2009.

Note 14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share using two different methods, basic and diluted, and presents per share data for all periods in which statements of operations are presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

The discussion contained herein contains “forward-looking statements” that involve risk and uncertainties. These statements may be identified by the use of terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should” or “anticipates” or expressing this terminology negatively or similar expressions or by discussions of strategy. The cautionary statements made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 31, 2010, should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Form 10-Q. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this report. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included herein as Item 1.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. We also have other policies that we consider key accounting policies, such as those for revenue recognition; however, these policies typically do not require us to make estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.

We have identified the accounting policies that we consider critical in Note 1 “Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our financial statements included in this report. The accounting policies and estimates described in this report should be read in conjunction with Note 1 “Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which includes a discussion of the policies identified in this report and other significant accounting policies.

Overview

Energy Composites Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a manufacturer of composite structures and vessels for a range of clean technology industries. Based on our research of companies in this sector, we believe we have the Midwest’s largest and most automated manufacturing capabilities with our world-class, automated 73,000 square foot climate-controlled manufacturing facility in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.

The Company has two operating subsidiaries as follows:

ECC Corrosion, Inc (“ECC-C”). Formerly known as Advanced Fiberglass Technologies (“AFT”), this entity was incorporated in the state of Wisconsin on January 1, 2005, following nearly ten years operating as M&W Fiberglass, LLC (“M&W”). Founded in 1995 by Jamie Lee Mancl, M&W was the operating entity that developed and operated AFT’s business. In January 2005, M&W transferred all operating assets and liabilities into a newly formed S-Corporation: AFT. M&W, solely owned by Jamie Lee Mancl, retained ownership of AFT’s former manufacturing facility. In February 2007, M&W sold AFT’s former manufacturing facility to the city of Wisconsin Rapids. M&W and AFT then purchased and developed our current manufacturing facility by obtaining $4,000,000 of financing in the form of industrial revenue bonds. On December 31, 2008, we purchased the manufacturing facility from M&W by assuming the industrial revenue bonds, paying M&W $500,000 in cash and delivering a promissory note to M&W for $1,045,328. On September 1, 2010, AFT changed its name to ECC Corrosion, Inc.

Innovative Composite Solutions, LLC (“ICS”). In June 2009, further executing our growth strategy, we established ICS as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Composites Corporation. ICS serves as our distribution arm for resins and composite materials. As of September 30, 2010, the operating results of ICS are immaterial to the Company and are included in the Industrial Tank and Piping reporting segment under the Products category.

Results of Operations

The following information summarizes the net sales and related cost of sales/services for our product and service offerings. We do not consider the product sales and service components of our business to be reportable operating segments because the financial results of each component are not separately evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Revenue

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded revenue from product sales of $1,541,548, an increase from the three month period ended September 30, 2009 of $714,120 or 86%. Revenue from field services was $334,807 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease from the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 of $699,174 or 68%. The increase in product revenue during the quarter was driven by the completion of two large diameter flue gas desulfurization units and five XLCR™-lined bone maceration tanks. The decrease in service revenue during the third quarter is largely attributable to previously delayed maintenance activity having been completed in the second quarter of this year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded revenue from product sales of $2,985,035, a decrease from the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 of $1,465,408 or 33%. Revenue from field services was $1,715,916 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease from the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 of $44,375 or 3%. The decrease in product and service revenue during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was largely driven by the absence of a major contract and reduced or delayed service orders from our leading corrosion customers.

This was partially offset by smaller product contracts from new customers. The Company completed deliveries for a major tank and piping contract with a chlor-alkali producer during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 valued at approximately $3.1 million.

Cost of goods sold

The primary components of cost of goods sold are raw materials used in manufacturing, manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead. The primary raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are isophathalic, polyester, and vinyl-ester resins and fiberglass. Manufacturing labor includes wages, employment taxes, employee benefits, and union expenses. The major components of manufacturing overhead are utilities and depreciation associated with our manufacturing facility and equipment, travel and lodging expense associated with field service activities and manufacturing supplies.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, cost of goods sold decreased to $1,487,659 and $3,614,924, respectively, resulting in gross profit of $388,696 and $1,086,027, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, cost of goods sold was $1,502,393 and $5,235,857, respectively, resulting in gross profit of $359,016 and $974,877, respectively. The improvement in gross profit for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 was driven by higher margin product mix, labor efficiencies realized with the implementation of the Company’s enterprise resource planning system in May 2010 and a lower requirement of more expensive pipefitter labor in 2010 compared to 2009. These factors were partially offset by the lower sales volume in 2010.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, our cost of materials was 31% and 28% of revenue, respectively. This compares to cost of materials of 20% and 26% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our cost of labor was 28% of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to labor cost of 41% and 38% of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Manufacturing overhead was 20% and 21% of revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 19% and 20% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Selling, general & administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $1,271,081 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $978,014 during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $3,669,095 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $2,752,176 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily driven by our continued investment in our growth strategy, notably our investment in our WindFiber™ strategy, increased sales and sales support staff, and non-cash stock compensation. We recorded employee and director stock and stock option compensation expense of $222,753 during the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $46,250 during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Additionally, we recorded $189,000 of stock compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2010 related to a consulting agreement with Diversified Equities Partners, LLC (“Diversified”) whereby Diversified will provide financial advisory services through September 2012. Employee and director stock and stock option compensation expense was $770,199 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $165,623 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Other income (expense)

Other income and expense consists of interest income and interest expense which includes non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs and non-cash amortization of beneficial conversion features and warrant discounts associated with convertible debt. Total interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $233,969 and $237,709, respectively. Non-cash amortization of debt discounts for warrants and beneficial conversion feature related to the convertible debt was $131,400 and $118,333 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Total interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $765,326 and $1,689,625, respectively. Non-cash amortization of debt discounts for warrants and beneficial conversion feature related to the convertible debt was $431,735 and $1,327,291 for the nine months ended

September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The remaining decrease in interest expense in 2010 compared to 2009 is attributable to decreased long-term and short-term debt levels resulting from scheduled loan payments as well as two debt for equity exchange transactions executed during the quarter and lower levels of outstanding convertible debt in 2010 compared to the prior year. The two debt for equity exchange transactions are further detailed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.

Interest expense is partially offset by bank interest income. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, interest income was $222 and $2,686, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, interest income was $431 and $14,480, respectively.

Net loss before provision (benefit) for income taxes

The Company’s loss before income tax benefit increased to $1,116,132 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $854,021 during the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the loss before income tax benefit decreased to $3,347,963 from $3,452,444 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The primary driver of the increase in our net loss before income tax for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 was the increase in stock compensation expense which was partially offset by the improvement in gross profit. The primary driver of the improvement in net loss before income tax for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was the significant improvement in gross profit and the significant decrease in non-cash amortization of debt discounts for warrants and beneficial conversion feature related to the convertible debt. These improvements in net loss were partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses most notably non-cash stock compensation expense and expenses related to investments made in our WindFiber™ strategy as detailed above.

Income tax benefit

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income tax benefit was recorded relative to net operating losses generated and timing differences between financial and income tax reporting of $456,000 and $1,293,000, respectively. Significant components of the income tax benefit include the net operating losses, fair value of warrants and temporary timing differences of fixed assets, WindFiber™ start-up costs, accruals and reserves. This net income tax benefit was offset by a full valuation allowance of $456,000 and $1,293,000 resulting in a net income tax benefit of $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, net income tax benefit was recorded relative to net operating losses and timing differences between financial and income tax reporting of $306,000 and $1,334,000, respectively. A valuation allowance was not recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, therefore the net income tax benefit was $306,000 and $1,334,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

Net loss

Net loss increased to $1,116,132 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $548,021 during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Net loss increased to $3,347,963 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $2,118,444 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in our 2010 net loss stems largely from applying a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, increases in our stock compensation expenses and from our continued investment in our growth strategy. Expenses related to our WindFiber™ growth strategy have totaled $647,294 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $284,093 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. ICS has recorded operating losses of $176,556 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $132,038 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Additionally, to capitalize on our expanding manufacturing capabilities, we have added both sales representatives and new sales territories and expanded our marketing programs.

With these expenditures, we believe we have increased our visibility in our existing markets and have captured attention from major targeted customers within the wind energy market. While recessionary economic pressures persist, we have seen signs that the capital goods economy may be strengthening. We announced on July 26, 2010 that the Company has been awarded a major contract to supply fiberglass tanks in 2011 to a Canadian

client valued at approximately $3.8 million. We continue to pursue our four-part strategy to expand and diversify our business. We believe that increasing our involvement in the wind energy industry and other market segments will also position our Company to profit when and as the economy recovers and expands.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity and capital resources continue to be driven by our growth strategy as well. We have invested in our plant and equipment to significantly diversify our manufacturing capability, both in-house and on-client-site. As a result of our expansion efforts, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of market opportunities and to introduce our products and services into emerging markets like wind energy.

Our primary sources of liquidity to fund our growth strategy are short and long-term term financing arrangements and equity issuances. The Company is currently in need of additional equity and debt financing to support its working capital deficit and to allow the Company to proceed with its growth strategy. If the Company does not receive this additional financing in the near term, the Company will have to curtail selling, general and administrative spending. The Company is continuing its efforts to improve the overall financial condition and results, including obtaining additional financing and restructuring certain debt arrangements as described below.

As of September 30, 2010, cash and cash equivalents totaled $125,396 and the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,668,159 exclusive of Prepaid Consulting Expense. The Company’s working capital deficit has increased because $830,000 of the $1,230,000 outstanding from the 2008 issuance of convertible debt will mature within 12 months unless converted to common stock before maturity. Due to the project-oriented, custom fabrication nature of our current operating business ECC Corrosion, which receives sporadic customer payments as opposed to steady cash flow, we expect to continue to have a need to borrow on a short-term unsecured basis to meet working capital requirements for the near future. While ECC has been successful in obtaining such financing on relatively favorable terms, there is no assurance that we will be able to secure this type of financing in the future.

Operating Cash Flows

Operating activities provided $127,753 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to cash used of $1,295,437 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The improvement in net cash flow from operating activities in 2010 relative to 2009 was due primarily to the timing and management of cash requirements associated with accounts payable and accounts receivable, and customer deposits made during the period as progress payments on certain fabrication contracts. This was partially offset by a timing difference between periods in work-in-process inventories related to ongoing and upcoming contracts, the timing of accrued expenses, and the increase in the overall net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Investing Cash Flows

Investing activities used $228,418 and $444,299 of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The primary use of cash in investing activities in 2010 has been investments made in building designs related to our planned wind blade plant in Wisconsin Rapids, additional manufacturing equipment in our corrosion business, and the purchase of 94 acres of land for our planned wind blade manufacturing plant. The primary use of cash in investing activities in 2009 was the purchase of additional manufacturing equipment supporting plant and field service activities, as well as the purchase of office equipment for added office staff positions.

Financing Cash Flows

Financing activities used $55,748 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Proceeds from financing activities, detailed below, were offset by net payments on short-term debt and lines of credit totaling $753,512 and net payments on long-term debt totaling $359,489 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, financing activities provided $147,322 comprised of net borrowings from short-term notes of $497,934 and net payments on long-term debt and financing costs of $350,612.

Warrant Exercise

On March 8, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the temporary reduction of the exercise price of currently outstanding common stock purchase warrants from $5.00 per share to $2.50 per share. The exercise price reduction was valid from March 22, 2010 through May 6, 2010. Shares issued during the exercise price reduction period were restricted shares subject to SEC Rule 144. After May 6, 2010, any outstanding warrants reverted back to their original terms. As of May 6, 2010, the Company received $590,823 related to the exercise of 236,329 warrants to purchase our common stock at $2.50 per share from current warrant holders.

Subscription Agreement

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Proceeds to the Company from stock purchased under the ECC Employee Stock Purchase Plan totaled $16,430 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Debt Exchange Transactions

On August 3, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors also approved a debt for equity exchange transaction between five private investors (primarily existing shareholders) and the Company. The transaction, which closed on September 7, 2010, resulted in the conversion of the outstanding principal and interest under existing short-term notes to common shares of the Company at $2.50 per share. The principal balance of the notes converted at September 7, 2010 was $500,000 along with accrued interest of $18,763. This resulted in a $500,000 reduction in the Company's short-term debt obligations.

Debenture Financing

From August 2008 to December 2008, we raised $6,370,000 by selling units, each unit consisting of (i) a 3-year, 6% convertible debenture (the “Debentures”) with a conversion price of $2.50 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends), and (ii) a number of warrants equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of the Debenture (the “Warrants”). The Debentures sold included the issuance of 2,548,000 Warrants. Each Warrant is exercisable into shares of common stock for a term of 3 years at $5.00 per share. The Warrant also provides anti-dilution protection for the following events: reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale; subdivision, combination or dividend of our common stock.

At September 30, 2010, Debentures totaling $1,230,000 remain outstanding and will become due during the third and fourth quarter of 2011. $5,140,000 of Debentures has been converted to common stock as of September 30, 2010. Many Debenture holders have elected to receive interest in the form of stock, lowering our

cash outlays for debt service on the Debentures. We believe that the growth of our business through the implementation of our growth strategy will improve the value of our stock and motivate the remaining Debenture holders to convert their debt into stock which will further reduce our cash requirements to settle the debt in 2011. We also anticipate that the Debenture holders will exercise their Warrants when and if the value of our stock increases above $5.00 per share. The money we raise from the exercise of Warrants, if any, will be used to continue our growth strategy.

Other Debt Activity

On October 27, 2010, the Company issued a new unsecured short-term promissory note to M&W Fiberglass, LLC for $25,000. The note carries a term of 60 days and an annual fixed interest rate of 6.00%.

On October 29, 2010, the Company issued a new unsecured short-term promissory note to White Horse Ltd, LLC, an entity owned by one of the Company’s directors, for $120,000. The note carries a term of 30 days and an annual fixed interest rate of 6.00%. The note was paid on November 2, 2010.

Leases

Going Forward

While we have begun to implement our four-part growth strategy, defined in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we continue to require additional equity and debt financing over the next twelve months to support working capital requirements of our existing businesses, the construction of a new wind blade production plant, the equipping of the production lines and the training of employee-associates. While we are targeting a substantial portion of our financing requirements through subsidized or otherwise advantaged debt financing, it will be necessary to support such financing with supplemental equity. If our cash flow from operations is insufficient to fund debt service and other obligations, we will be required to increase our borrowings, reduce or delay capital expenditures, and seek additional capital or refinance our indebtedness. There can be no assurance, however, that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that we will be able to maintain our ability to borrow under revolving credit facilities. If we are unable to obtain new financing in the near term, we will have to curtail our selling, general and administrative expenditures, including those associated with the WindFiber™ strategy.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2010, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we are involved in litigation and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including actions with respect to contract claims, labor and employment claims and other matters. Although litigation and other proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of our current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions or results of operations. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. In addition, it is possible that an unfavorable resolution in litigation or other proceedings could in the future materially and adversely affect our financial position or results of operations in a particular period.
