NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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.

Capitalized Interest
Interest is capitalized during periods of active equipment construction. During the three
months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred total interest costs of $7.0 million
and $7.2 million, respectively, of which $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were
capitalized. During the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred total
interest costs of $14.2 million and $14.4 million, respectively, of which $0.5 million and $0.2
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 July 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (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. 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 Accounting Standards Update (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.
The following table summarizes the effect of adopting ASC 470-20:

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 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 Convertible Senior Notes (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.
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 six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 acquisition is an important element of the Companys
future growth plan as it transitions from manufacturing and selling a product to providing complete
solar solutions, project implementation and value-added services. The Company has enhanced its
downstream presence by combining its strengths as a product innovator with the proven installation
expertise and global footprint of SIT. The acquisition has strengthened and diversified the
Companys business.
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 six months ended December 31, 2009
which are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Companys Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

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 $0.3 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009.
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

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 December 31, 2010, outstanding letters of
credit totaled $7.8 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 six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was
9.2% and 10.4%, respectively. At December 31, 2010 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 on June 15, 2013. The fair value of the
outstanding loaned shares as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 was $15.8 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 $3.4 million and $3.9 million of unamortized issuance costs associated with the
share-lending arrangement as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. In addition,
the Company recognized an additional $0.5 million and $0.4 million of interest costs relating to
the amortization of the issuance costs associated with the share lending arrangement for the six
months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 December 31, 2010.
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 Restructuring Charges
The Company has incurred ongoing restructuring charges to better align operating expenses with
near-term revenue expectations. In September 2010, the Company incurred additional restructuring
charges as part of its manufacturing capacity realignment. The Company incurred total
restructuring costs of $0.4 million, all of which were recognized during the six months ended
December 31, 2010 and were primarily related to employee severance. The restructuring was
completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011. The restructuring charges were primarily
incurred in the United Solar Ovonic segment.

12 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 December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $0.8
million and $1.2 million, respectively. Total share-based compensation expense for the six months
ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $1.7 million and $2.3 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.

As of December 31, 2010, there was $0.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost
related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted. The cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 year.
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.

recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.
Restricted Stock Units
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) settle on a one-for-one basis in shares of the Companys
common stock and vest in accordance with the terms of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan or the
Executive Severance Plan and the 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan (collectively the Plans), as
applicable. On September 30, 2009, the Companys Board of Directors approved an offer to exchange
approximately 98,000 previously issued RSUs for new RSUs on a one-for-one basis.
The fair value of the RSUs is determined on the date of grant based on the market price of the
Companys common stock and is recognized as compensation expense. Information concerning RSUs
awarded during the six months ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:

Note 13 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 |
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 December 31, 2010, 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 December 31, 2010 was not
significant. The fair value of the Companys Notes was estimated at $194.7 million as of December
31, 2010 using level 1 inputs. In addition, the fair value of the Companys outstanding loaned
shares related to the share-lending agreement was estimated at $15.8 million as of December 31,
2010 using level 1 inputs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Included within the Companys net operating losses (NOLs) of $440.7 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 $309.3
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 15 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 transactions
denominated in Euros. The Company does not use forward contracts for speculative or trading
purposes.
The Company held derivative financial instruments totaling $4.8 million in notional value and
$0.2 million in fair value as of December 31, 2010. 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 December 31, 2010,
the net unrealized gains on these contracts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net
was $0.2 million.
In addition, the Company held derivative financial instruments totaling $25.8 million notional
value and $0.7 million in fair value as of December 31, 2010. 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 December 31, 2010, the Company recorded $1.3 million in Other nonoperating
expense, net.
Note 16 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 Energia S.R.L. and its affiliates (collectively, Winch) whereby the Company
22
Table of Contents
ENERGY CONVERSION DEVICES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
would fund Winchs acquisition of development rights for solar installation projects in Italy and
France. 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.
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 to the
Company and $2.1 million was converted into an unsecured vendor loan, which is subordinate to the
new third party financing. The Company also received $0.4 million in interest and services, and
released that portion of the pledge attributable to this portion of the development loan. 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.
As of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 the outstanding balance of the development loan was
$12.2 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
December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance of the vendor loan to the separate legal entity was $2.0
million. The vendor loan bears interest at 5.5% per annum and the
interest is payable upon repayment of the vendor loan.
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 entity obtained third-party financing
and commenced operations, the Company is no longer required to
consolidate the separate legal entity due to our lack of any power to direct the significant
activities of any of this legal entity, combined with our diminished financial support. Although, the Company is the primary beneficiary, the
remainder of Winch 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 December 31, 2010.
The Winch VIE had assets of $14.0 million and an immaterial amount of liabilities (other than amounts owed to the Company).

18 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.
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.

Item 2: 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 six months ended December 31, 2010.
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.
In August 2009, we acquired SIT, a company that manufactures, designs, and installs building
integrated PV systems for commercial rooftops. As a result of this acquisition, we are
transitioning our business from focusing primarily on manufacturing and selling our PV products to
providing complete solar solutions, project implementation and value-added services. The SIT
business is included in our United Solar Ovonic segment, which represents more than 90% of our
revenues.
We continue to adjust our production in our United Solar Ovonic segment and reduce costs to
respond to near-term market conditions and improve our overall competitiveness. We have incurred
restructuring expenses, including expenses of approximately $0.4 million in the six months ended
December 31, 2010, 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 and may recognize similar costs in the future if we do not sustainably
operate our facilities at full productive capacity. In August 2010, we announced a plan to realign
our solar manufacturing capacity in our United Solar Ovonic segment among our existing facilities
as part of our overall cost reduction activities. Effective in the fall of 2010, we shifted certain
final assembly operations from our Auburn Hills, Michigan campus to our Tijuana, Mexico facility.
We continue to manufacture our proprietary solar cells at the Auburn Hills and Greenville campuses
and continue to refine our production plans as we implement our Technology Roadmap designed to
increase the conversion efficiency of our PV laminates and substantially reduce our cost per watt
during fiscal year 2011. In addition, as part of our restructuring plan, we have consolidated our
real estate holdings and relocated our corporate headquarters from Rochester Hills to our Auburn
Hills location.
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 and 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 December 31, 2010, we produced 32.5 MW compared to 19.7 MW for
the same period in 2009.

Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were $67.0 million, an increase of
$18.0 million or 36.7%, compared to the same period in 2009. This increase in total revenues was
primarily due to $8.5 million in system sales and $11.8 million in product sales, offset by $2.2
million in expenses from product development agreements due to an accounting reclassification. See
Note 1 Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
paragraph Revenues from Product Development Agreements to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information. The $11.8 million in product sales is comprised of an
increase of $15.3 million due to higher sales volume, offset by $3.5 million due to lower average
selling prices.
Cost of product sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $42.9 million, a
decrease of $7.6 million or 15.0%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily
due to $6.7 million of reduced unabsorbed costs (period cost savings), $4.3 million of inventory
reserves, $3.2 million of lower depreciation expense, $0.9 million of direct labor savings, and
$0.8 million of improved manufacturing efficiencies offset by $8.4 million due to increase sales
volume.
Cost of system sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $11.5 million, an
increase of $4.4 million or 62.6%, compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily
due to the completion of a large scale job in Italy and an increase of a major project in the
United States.
26
Table of Contents
The combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and
research expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $1.8 million, a decrease of $2.5
million or 57.8%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower
product development and research expenses on funded projects. The $2.6 million gross expense in
the current quarter was partially offset by $0.8 million of funding from cost share 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 three months ended December 31, 2010 were
$9.7 million, a decrease of $1.7 million or 15.0%, compared to the same period in 2009. The change
is primarily related to labor savings due to our restructuring plans being realized.
During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we made refinements to our existing
restructuring reserve estimates resulting in net reductions.

Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were $2.6 million, a decrease of
$1.3 million or 33.1%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease in total revenues was
primarily due to a decrease in sales of nickel hydroxide materials.
Cost of product sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010 decreased by $0.8 million
or 95.6%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was due to a reduced production and
sales of nickel hydroxide materials.
Combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and
research expenses were $0.8 million, a decrease of $0.4 million or 33.1%, compared to the same
period in 2009. The decrease 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.

Table of Contents
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 $5.9 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2010, an
increase of $0.4 million or 6.8%, compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily
due to increased legal fees of $0.4 million.
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense was $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $7.8
million in the same period in 2009. The $3.7 million decrease was principally due to a $2.1
million gain on debt extinguishment, $0.3 million of reduced interest expense and $0.5 million of
increased interest income and $0.8 million of reduced nonoperating expenses.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was insignificant for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to
$1.0 million income tax benefit in the same period in 2009.

Total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2010 were $132.2 million, an increase of
$43.7 million or 49.4%, compared to the same period in 2009. This increase in total revenues was
primarily due to $17.5 million in system sales and $31.5 million in product sales, offset by $5.2
million in expenses from product development agreements due to an accounting reclassification. See
Note 1 Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
paragraph Revenues from Product Development Agreements to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information. The $31.5 million in product sales is comprised of an
increase of $43.1 million due to higher sales volume, offset by $11.6 million due to lower average
selling prices.
Cost of product sales for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $87.8 million, an
increase of $13.7 million or 18.5%, compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was
primarily due to $31.9 million comprised of increased sales volume and mix and $1.5 million in
increased warranty costs, offset by $12.3 million in manufacturing efficiencies, and $7.4 million
of favorable unabsorbed costs (period cost savings).
Cost of system sales for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $22.1 million, an increase
of $11.3 million or 104.1%, compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to
our increased focus on our systems business and large scale jobs in the United States and Europe.
The combined cost of revenues from product development agreements and product development and
research expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $3.8 million, a decrease of $5.0
million or 56.8%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower
product development and research expenses on funded projects. The $5.9 million gross expense in
the current quarter was partially offset by $2.1 million of funding from cost share
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 six months ended December 31, 2010
were $21.3 million, an increase of $2.1 million or 10.7%, compared to the same period in 2009. The
change is primarily related to a decrease in our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable by $2.5
million in 2009 offset by the investment in growing our product and system sales teams.
During the six months ended December 31, 2010, we incurred restructuring charges to better
align operating expenses with near-term revenue expectations. The $0.6 million of charges were
primarily for employee severance offset by refinements to our existing reserve estimates. See Note
11 Restructuring Charges to our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.

Total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2010 were $5.7 million, a decrease of
$1.6 million or 22.3%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease in total revenues was
primarily due to a decrease in sales of nickel hydroxide materials.
Cost of product sales for the six months ended December 31, 2010 were $0.1 million, a decrease
of $1.2 million or 89.9%, compared to the same period in 2009. 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 $1.5 million, a decrease of $0.7 million or 31.9%, compared to the same
period in 2009. The decrease 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.
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 $11.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, a decrease
of $2.2 million or 15.8%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a
reduction of legal fees of $1.1 million and outside services of $1.1 million.

Other Income (Expense)
Other expense was $9.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $12.4
million in the same period in 2009. The $3.0 million decrease was principally due to a $3.3
million gain on debt extinguishment, $0.5 million of reduced interest expense and $0.5 million of
increased interest income offset by $1.3 million distribution from our previously owned Cobasys
joint venture in fiscal year 2010.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $0.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to
$1.9 million income tax benefit in the same period in 2009. 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 operations. At December 31, 2010, we had consolidated net working capital of
$260.5 million, including $171.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments
consisting of corporate bonds, commercial paper, and U.S. Government agency notes.
Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities increased $59.8 million to $0.3 million for the six
months ended December 31, 2010 from $60.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. This
increase was driven by $43.7 million of favorable changes in net working capital, specifically due
to inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable and $16.1 million of our net income (loss)
adjusted for non-cash items.
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities decreased $119.5 million to $(10.3)
million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 from $109.2 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2009. This decrease was principally due to increased purchases of investments of
$71.9 million, $51.8 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 and proceeds from
development loans of $1.4 million.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased $13.5 million to $0.9 million for the six
months ended December 31, 2010 from $14.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. 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
Facility, we may issue up to $25.0 million in letters of credit, which will be secured by cash
equal to
31
Table of Contents
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 December 31, 2010, outstanding letters of credit totaled $7.8 million.
Convertible Senior Notes
Our Convertible Senior Notes (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. During
fiscal year 2011 we expect to pursue additional debt-for-equity exchanges and other transactions to
reduce the outstanding principal of our Notes prior to their maturity.

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, commercial paper and U.S. Government agency notes) represents funds
held temporarily, pending use in our business and operations. We had $105.7 million of these
investments as of December 31, 2010. 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 December 31, 2010.
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 December 31, 2010, an
increase or a decrease in exchange rates of 1% would increase or decrease our foreign currency
transaction gain by approximately $0.3 million.
We recognized a net foreign currency transaction loss of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We recognized a net foreign currency
transaction loss of $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and
2009, respectively.
Item 4: 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.
