-5-


Overview

Nanotech, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a development company, has only just begun to implement its business plan. The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of the expenses, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment and expansion of new business and the competitive environment in which the Company will operate. The Company's long-term viability, profitability and growth will depend upon successful commercialization of the Nanotech Products and the development and commercialization of new products and services relative to its business plan. As a development stage company, the Company has little or no relevant operating history upon which an evaluation of its performance can be made. Such performance must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing new products, services and markets.

Business Model

Nanotech’s business model is based on targeting large distributors and multiple client bases. Nanotech intends to focus within the C.A.S.E. segment specifically for large industrial and commercial coatings applications where Green Polyurethane™ has a natural competitive advantage over other polyurethane ("PU") and epoxy coatings due to its superior chemical resistance and environmentally safe properties with reduced health risks. Some of the target markets include:

  • Industrial and commercial buildings
  • Civil applications for tunnels and bridges
  • Private and public garages
  • Chemical and food processing plants
  • Warehouses
  • Monolithic floorings for civil, industrial and military engineering
  • Marine and Aeronautic applications
  • Industrial equipment for dairy and liquid fertilizer processing plants and delivery systems
  • Military facilities and equipment
  • Protective coatings inside industrial and commercial pipes

In addition to the above, Nanotech’s business plan includes plans to:

  • Increase the number of contractors and applicators contacted
  • Contact paint formulators and offer Green Polyurethane® Binder for their proprietary formulations
  • Establish distribution channels utilizing existing distribution hubs

Competitive Strengths

Nanotech believes that its competitive strengths include the following:

Product Advantage. Green Polyurethane™ is the first ever chemical platform based on modified hybrid PU that is produced using pending patented proprietary methods which completely eliminate the use of toxic isocyanates resulting in a substitute for conventional PU. This results in a product that is significantly less toxic than conventional PU and which has superior properties.

-6-


In addition to its reduced health and environmental hazards, Green Polyurethane™ technology presents significant competitive advantages to the properties of conventional PU including:

  • Less or no porosity
  • Increased hydrolytic stability
  • 30 – 50% increased resistance to chemical degradation
  • 3 – 4 times less permeability
  • Excellent adhesiveness
  • Safe & easy synthesis, ease of handling in moist environments
  • Increased number of applications
  • Solvent free compounds for flooring applications

Tested Product and Technology. The Green Polyurethane™ technology has been tested, is proven, is commercial ready and currently in use. The Green Polyurethane™ technology has undergone rigorous testing by the Polymer Institute, GmbH, a well-recognized analytical firm for qualifying materials for use in the flooring industry.

Testing by the Polymer Institute confirmed Green Polyurethane’s™ claims in regard to its structural and chemical properties and its suitability for use in the flooring industry. In addition, floor coating samples were rigorously tested and were found to perform successfully in accordance with The American Society for Testing and Materials.

Cost Savings. Nanotech can offer substantial savings to clients in the flooring installation industry due to the unique combination of multiple properties in one coating of Green Polyurethane™ paint. Typically, concrete floors are painted using a primer, base and topcoat, resulting in the need for three different types of coatings for one application, which can be time consuming and costly. By using the Green Polyurethane™ formulation, however, the number of layers can be reduced to one or two, as Green Polyurethane™ does not require a primer, has excellent stand alone adhesion and, in most cases, would not require a top coat due to its excellent mechanical properties.

Management Team. Nanotech’s management team possesses a diverse set of industry skills and operating experience and a record of success in the scientific R&D, nanotechnology, management, marketing, sales and finance industries.

Growth Strategy

Nanotech believes that the overall market for green products in general and paint coatings in particular is steadily growing and that Nanotech is well-positioned to benefit from this growth. Nanotech’s objective is to become a significant manufacturer and distributor of Green Polyurethane® Binder and Green Polyurethane® Monolithic Floor Coating within this potentially expanding market.

Nanotech plans to achieve its objective by pursuing the following strategies:

Increase Target Market and Sales Strategy. Nanotech’s focus is within the C.A.S.E. segment specifically for large industrial and commercial coatings applications where Green Polyurethane™ has a natural competitive advantage over other PU and epoxy coatings due to its superior chemical resistance and environmentally safe properties with reduced health risks.

-7-


The $3.5 billion EU polyurethane coatings market is of particular interest because of the high demand and the overhaul of the EU’s chemical regulatory system. REACH (Registration, Evaluation & Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations were drafted in 1998 and finally adopted and put into force in June 2007. A major shift in this system will be placing a greater burden of proof on the industry that chemicals are safe. Substances of very high concern must be authorized under REACH and their use may be subject to restrictions. Isocyanates used in making PU are highly toxic and require expensive worker safety and handling procedures. A general movement towards greener products combined with the REACH regulations has accelerated projected growth in the total EU market for less toxic alternatives.

In addition to the above, Nanotech plans to:

  • Increase the number of contractors and applicators contacted
  • Contact paint formulators and offer Green Polyurethane® Binder for their proprietary formulations
  • Establish distribution channels utilizing existing distribution hubs

Nanotech intends to work with GBK, a global regulatory compliance consultancy firm, first in the EU marketplace and then in other markets to educate targeted government agencies responsible for setting standards for hazardous chemicals used in coatings.

Educating Regulatory Authorities. Nanotech intends to educate regulatory agencies of the existence of an alternative to hazardous isocyanate-based polyurethane. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has shown strong interest in Green Polyurethane™ and has supported the efforts to manufacture and distribute Green Polyurethane™ products in the US and have suggested linking the Green Polyurethane™ technology to the EPA’s new website for spray polyurethane foam.

Maintain and Increase Cost and Operational Advantages. Nanotech’s strategy is to avoid large capital investments in manufacturing and instead rent facilities and equipment from its strategic partners. Management estimates that the Company can outsource the manufacture of up to 20,000 tons per year.

Subsidiaries

Nanotech Industries International Inc. (“Nanotech”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Epod Solar Inc. (“the Company”) and is the source of the Company’s operations.

Legislation and Government Incentives

Current global trends toward more environmentally sound products and new legislative restrictions on the use of hazardous materials and their chemical by-products pose formidable obstacles to PU manufacturers. The European Union (EU) has already begun to take action against isocyanates by passing recent legislation that banned the addition of any new manufacturing capacities of isocyanates. Governmental health agencies and workers unions throughout Europe are beginning to actively speak out against the dangers of isocyanates in the workplace in order to protect and lobby for worker’s safety. On September 2007 the president of FATIPEC (Federation of the Paints, Varnishes, Lacquers and Printing Inks Industries Technologists' Associations of Continental Europe) along with the Oil & Color Chemists' Association reported that new EU safety regulations have been put into place which include a tenfold lowering of the concentration limits of isocyanates in all paints. These new regulations will afford Nanotech the opportunity to gain new ground.

The Company’s products, however, offer these competitors a cost effective and attractive green alternative to their existing coating formulations.

Enviromental Matters

Epod Solar Inc.is not aware of any pending or threatened environmental investigation, proceeding or action by foreign, federal, state or local agencies, or third parties involving its current operations.

Description of the Industry

The Global Polyurethane Market

According to 2005 industry estimates by IAL Consultants, the global PU market is a $30-35 billion industry with approximately 30.3 million tonnes of total production. North America currently dominates production with 8.2 million tonnes; Eastern Europe has 1.3 million tonnes of production; while the Middle East and Africa currently produce 1.7 million tonnes. IAL Consultants predict that China will overtake the U.S. in production by 2010. Growing from its current production of 6.4 million tonnes, China is likely to become the world leader in PU production as well as a significant consumer of PU based consumer goods.

The Company estimates that 80% of the world market for PU based applications is a potential market for Green Polyurethane™ materials, in the form of PU based foam products, excluding certain foams produced at very low cost for furniture. Green Polyurethane™ could also replace up to 20% of the high-end epoxy flooring/coating market.

-10-


According to the Center for the Polyurethanes, the industry is generally broken up into the following segments:

Flexible Foam – used in bedding, furniture, automotive interiors, carpet underlay and packaging

Rigid Foam – energy-efficient and versatile insulation, which results in cutting fuel and construction costs while making commercial and residential properties safer, better utilized and more comfortable

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) – highly elastic, flexible and resistant to abrasion, impact and weather. TPU's can be colored or fabricated in a wide variety of methods, and their use increases a product's overall durability

Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants and Elastomers – coatings make a product more esthetic and durable; adhesives provide strong bonding advantages; sealants provide tighter seals; elastomers can be molded into almost any shape, are lighter than metal, offer superior stress recovery and can be resistant to many environmental factors

The World Coatings Market

According to the research company, Datamonitor, the global paints and coatings market generated total revenues of $71.7 billion in 2006 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% for the five year period 2002-2006 and is projected to accelerate, with an anticipated CAGR of 5.2% for the five-year period 2006-2011, reaching an expected market value of $92.5 billion by the end of 2011.

Market consumption volumes increased with a CAGR of 2.6% from 2002-2006 to reach a total of 29.4 million tonnes. Market volume is expected to rise to 35.5 million tonnes by the end of 2011, representing a CAGR of 3.9% for the period of 2006-2011. Higher percentage value gains over volume gains are the result of increasing improvements in the technology of paint formulation and delivery systems which have reduced wastage. In addition, average prices have been steadily increasing due to stronger prospects for higher quality, environmentally friendlier products such as powder-based and rad-cure coatings.

The Company’s current target market is the Industrial and Specialty Coatings segments, which represent a combined 54.1% of the total global PU coatings market or in value terms $38.8 billion.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to Our Business, Products and the Green Polyurethane Industry

Risks Related to Epod Solar Inc.’s Business Operations

We have a limited operating history.

Nanotech was incorporated on July 8, 2010 and has limited or no operating history. As such historical operating results may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating the business, financial performance and prospects. You should consider the Company’s business, operations and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and challenges faced as an early-stage company.

Our business, and therefore our results of operations and financial condition, may be adversely affected by the current disruption in the global credit markets and instability of financial systems.

The recent disruption in the global credit markets, the re-pricing of credit risk and the deterioration of the financial and real estate markets generally, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, have all contributed to a reduction in consumer spending and a decline in the overall U.S. and world economy. Although the recent disruptions were initially in the housing, financial and insurance sectors, this deterioration has further expanded to the general economy and various sectors. Tight credit, increased unemployment and reduced consumer confidence have had negative effects on demand in the consumer market and consequently for our product and service offerings. In addition, some economists are predicting that the U.S. economy, and possibly the global economy, has entered into a prolonged recession or even a depression as a result of the foregoing factors. Such a prolonged downturn in the U.S. or global economy could have a material adverse effect on our business in a number of ways, including lower product demand and lower sales, which could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

The intellectual property used by the Company has limited protection.

The process of seeking patent, industrial design and trademark protection can be time consuming and expensive and there can be no assurance that patents, industrial design registrations or trademark registrations will issue from future applications or that the existing intellectual property rights used by the Company or any new patents, industrial design registrations or trademark registrations that may be issued will be sufficient in scope or strength to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage. There can be no assurance that any pending or future patent, industrial design or trademark applications will be granted in respect of the technology used by The Company or that any existing, pending or future patents, industrial design registrations or trademark registrations will not be challenged, invalidated, ignored, circumvented or otherwise rendered unenforceable.

The Company’s future success depends on its ability to increase its client base and distribution channels

We will initially sell the Company Products primarily to end-users within North America. If we are unable to successfully increase our client base and expand our distribution channels, our revenues and future prospects may be materially harmed. As we seek to grow our sales by entering new markets, our ability to increase market share and sales will depend substantially on our ability to expand our distribution channels by identifying, developing and maintaining relationships with manufacturers and distributors. We may be unable to enter into relationships with resellers in the markets we target or on terms and conditions favorable to us, which could prevent us from entering these markets at all or in accordance with our current plans. Our ability to enter into and maintain relationships with resellers will be influenced by factors beyond our control, including the relationships between these resellers and our competitors and market acceptance of our products.

-12-


Our dependence on third party manufacturers for the manufacturing of all the Company Products could prevent us from delivering our products to our customers within required timeframes, which could result in order cancellations and loss of market share.

We obtain all of the the Company Products using third party manufacturers and assemblers and using materials and components procured from a limited number of third-party suppliers. If we fail to develop or maintain our relationships with these or other suppliers, we may be unable to manufacture our products or our products may be available only at a higher cost or after a long delay, which could prevent us from delivering our products to our customers within required time frames which may, in turn, result in order cancellations and loss of market share. The failure of a supplier to supply materials and components in a timely manner, or to supply materials and components that meet our quality, quantity and cost requirements could impair our ability to manufacture our products or increase their component costs, particularly if we are unable to obtain substitute sources of these materials and components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us.

Highly Competitive Industry

Many of the companies with which the Company will compete have significantly greater financial and other resources than the Company. Additionally, other companies which at present are not in competition with the Company may also enter into this industry, thereby directly competing with the Company.

Uncertain Acceptance and Maintenance Of Company Brand

The Company believes that the establishment and maintenance of a brand identified with the Company’s services is critical to attracting and expanding its customer base. While the Company is confident that its services and brand name(s) will provide an excellent foundation for developing brand awareness, no assurance can be given that such branding efforts will be successful. Promotion of brand awareness among users will depend, among other things, on the Company’s success in its marketing efforts and the usability of its services, none of which can be assured.

Significant Growth Places a Strain on Resources

If the Company is unable to manage growth effectively, business could be adversely affected. The Company expects to experience significant growth, both internally and through possible acquisitions and partnerships. This anticipated future growth may place a significant strain on its resources. As part of this growth, the Company will need to expand on its operational and financial systems, procedures and controls.

The Company may require additional capital in the future and no assurance can be given that such capital will be available at all or available on acceptable terms.

The Company does not currently generate sufficient revenue from operations to cover operating expenses and is not profitable. If the Company is not able to significantly increase operating revenue and achieve profitability, it may require additional equity or other means of debt financing to maintain business operations, fund expansions or complete strategic acquisitions. There can be no assurances that The Company will be able to obtain additional financial resources on favorable commercial terms or at all. Failure to obtain such financial resources could affect plans for sustainability and growth, or result in the Company being unable to satisfy obligations as they become due, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.

-13-


The Company has no history of significant profit and no assured foreseeable earnings.

The Company has no history of significant profit. The Company expects to continue to incur losses in the very near future, and there can be no assurance that it will ever be profitable as it expects operating expenses to increase as its client base and distribution channels are expanded. The Company’s ability to reach and sustain profitability depends on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the availability of financing and the continued availability of third party manufacturers.

The Company’s business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of its executive officers, and its business may be severely disrupted if the Company loses their services. In addition, if the Company is unable to attract, train and retain technical personnel, the Company’s business may be materially and adversely affected.

The Company’s future success depends substantially on the continued services of its executive officers. If one or more of the Company’s executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue being employed by us, the Company may not be able to replace them readily, if at all. Therefore, the Company’s business may be severely disrupted, and it may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new officers.

Recruiting and retaining capable personnel is vital to the Company ’s success. If the Company is unable to retain and attract qualified employees, the Company’s business may be materially and adversely affected.

Our ability to increase market share and sales depends on our ability to successfully expand our distribution channels.

We will sell the Company Products to companies within North America. If we are unable to successfully expand our distribution channels and client base significantly, our revenues and future prospects will be materially harmed. As we seek to grow our sales by entering existing and new markets in some of which we have little experience selling our solar power products, our ability to increase market share and sales will depend substantially on our ability to expand our distribution channels by identifying, developing and maintaining relationships with resellers both within and outside of North America. We may be unable to enter into relationships with resellers in the markets we target or on terms and conditions favorable to us, which could prevent us from entering these markets or entering these markets in accordance with our plans.

Risks Related to the Common Stock

The Company may conduct further offerings in the future, in which case your shareholdings will be diluted.

Since inception, both the Registrant and the Company have relied on equity sales of Common Stock and issuances of convertible debt and warrants convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock to fund operations. The Registrant may conduct further equity and/or convertible debt offerings in the future to finance current projects or to finance subsequent projects that it decides to undertake. If Common Stock is issued in return for additional funds, or upon conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible debentures or warrants, the price per share could be lower than that paid by existing common stockholders. The Registrant anticipates continuing to rely on equity sales of Common Stock and issuances of convertible debt and/or warrants convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock in order to fund its business operations. If the Registrant issues additional shares of Common Stock, your percentage interest in the Registrant will be lower. This condition, often referred to as “dilution”, could result in a reduction in the per share value of your shares of Common Stock.

-14-


The Company may exercise its American-European Option and additionally its Asia Option in the Licensing Agreement which will result in your shareholdings being significantly diluted.

Should the Company exercise the American-European Option or also exercise the Asia Option, (as defined in the Licensing Agreement), this will result in a significant issuance of Common Stock in return for Perpetual Licensing Rights (as defined in the Licensing Agreement). This share issuance will also result in a change of control and NTI will own 52.5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock in return for the exercise of the American-European Option (and an additional 10% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock in the event the Company also exercises the Asia Option). As a result, NTI will have substantial influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions such as mergers, tender offers and the sale of all or substantially all of the assets. The interests of NTI could conflict with or differ from your interests as a holder of common shares. For example, the concentration of ownership held by NTI could delay, defer or prevent a change of control of the Company or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination which you may view favorably.

The Registrant does not anticipate paying dividends in the future.

The Registrant’s current policy is to retain earnings to finance the development of new lines of products and to otherwise reinvest in our business. Therefore, the Registrant does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Registrant’s dividend policy will be reviewed from time to time by the Board of Directors in the context of its earnings, financial condition and other relevant factors. Until the Registrant pays dividends, which it may never do, its shareholders will not be able to receive a return on shares of Common Stock unless they sell them.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Our shares were first traded on the OTC Bulletin Board on July 10, 2009 under the name “Allora Minerals, Inc.”, (OTCBB: ALRL). On August 12, 2009, the change of the Registrant’s name to EPOD Solar Inc. was approved by the NASD, and we were issued the new trading symbol “EPDS”.

The following table indicates the high and low bid prices of our common stock obtained during the periods indicated:

    For the period ended           For the period ended        
    December 31,2010           December 31,2009        
    High     Low     High     Low  
                         
First Quarter $ 0.06   $ 0.01     NA     NA  
Second Quarter $ 0.17   $ 0.01     NA     NA  
Third Quarter $ 1.88   $ 0.13   $ 16.25   $ 0.60  
Fourth Quarter $ 1.65   $ 1.00   $ 1.45   $ 0.20  

The range of high and low price quotes of our common stock as set out in the table above is as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The market quotations provided reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail markup, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

The number of holders of record of our shares of our common stock, as of December 31, 2010 was 210.

Penny Stock Rules

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system; provided, that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and in such form as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

-17-


The broker-dealer also must, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, provide the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock that is not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must: (a) make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser; and (b) receive from the purchaser his or her written acknowledgement of receipt of the determination and a written agreement to the transaction.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Sale of Unregistered Securities

On August 30, 2010 (the "Closing Date") the Company closed on the acquisition from Nanotech, a corporation formed pursuant to the laws of Nevada of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Nanotech held by the holders of the Nanotech Shares . The purchase price for the Nanotech Acquisition consisted of 3,381,003 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share of the Registrant, issued to Nanotech Shareholders. In addition, certain shareholders of the Company agreed to have 1,028,000 of their shares cancelled as part of the transaction.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is designed to assist investors in understanding the nature and the importance of the changes and trends, as well as the risks and uncertainties associated with the Company's operations and financial position. Some sections of this MD&A contain forward-looking statements that, because of their nature, necessarily involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. The Company's actual and future results could therefore differ materially from those indicated or underlying these forward-looking statements. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks discussed below, and, from time to time, in other reports filed by the Company with the SEC. See “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements”.

Basis of Presentation

This MD&A on the Company's operating results and cash flows for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 as well as its financial position at December 31, 2010, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in this report.

Company Overview

Headquartered in Daly City, CA , Epod Solar Inc.’s (“Epod” ) core business is that of it’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Nanotech Industries International Inc. (‘Nanotech”). This business is the manufacturing and sale of alternative non-toxic (isocyanate-free) polyurethane, Green Polyurethane™. The products manufactured and sold by Nanotech (“Nanotech Products”) include coatings and raw binder ingredients (Green Polyurethane® Monolithic Floor Coating and Green Polyurethane™ Binder). Nanotech was granted the right to manufacture and sell the Nanotech Products pursuant to an agreement (“Licensing Agreement”) entered into between Nanortech and NTI (Nanotech Industries Inc.) the holder of the proprietary rights to the license and intellectual property required for the manufacturing of the Nanotech Products. The Nanotech Products will target the coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers (“C.A.S.E.”) market in North America, with options to sell in Europe, South America and Asia, pursuant to the terms of the Licensing Agreement. (see Note 3 to consolidated financial statements and Item 1 –Description of Business) .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates

Development Stage Company

The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities” in its characterization of the Company as an development stage enterprise.

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses of $4,062,486 since inception. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support The Company's working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available the Company may be required to curtail its operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow

Operating Results for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31,2010

Results of Operations

We have had no operating revenues for the period from our inception on July 8, 2010 through our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Our activities to date have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions and from loans from related and other parties and trade payables.

For the period from inception on July 8, 2010 through our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, we incurred total expenses of $4,062,486 including non-cash charges of $3,369,634 from stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization of $77,957, other general and administrative expenses of $420,152 and interest expense of $194,743.

Liquidity and Capital resources

We had cash balances of $3,194 at December 31, 2010. We do not have enough cash on hand to commence operations.

From our inception we raised $25,000 through an exercise of warrants at $0.40 per share for 62,500 shares. We issued 100,000 shares for fair value services rendered with respect to media relations of $135,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010. We issued Senior Secured Convertible Debentures for $400,000 on August 16, 2010. We raised an additional $75,000 and $72,600 from short-term loans in the 4th quarter of 2010

In March 2011, the Company offered $1,000,000 in Convertible Debentures, with an individual face value of $5,000, a maturity of 36 months and a coupon rate of 10% per annum payable in cash or capital stock at the Company’s discretion. Each debenture shall be convertible (using a conversion factor of 1.4) into 3,571 Units of the Company where each Unit (at a price of $1.40 per Unit), comprises of 1 share of common stock at and one half a stock purchase warrant of the Company with an exercise price of $2.00 and a maturity of 36 months. Warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity. The Debentures shall carry an anti-dilution provision if the total outstanding shares exceed 9,250,000 shares and shall close on or about April 30, 2011. As of April 8, 2011 the company has received proceeds of $359,562 related to these Convertible Debentures.

Principal Cash Flows for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2010

Operating activities used cash flows of $364,471. Net change in operating assets and liabilities generated cash flows of $72,556. This increase in use of cash relates primarily to the net loss incurred during 2010 after adjusting for non-cash expenses.

Financing activities provided cash flows of $367,665, primarily as a result of receipt of funds for the issuance of $400,000 in Senior Secured Convertible Debentures. In addition, the Company repaid $206,810 of the Note Payable - Related party, issued loans payable for a total of $149,475 and received proceeds from the exercise of 62,500 warrants of $25,000.

-21-


ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Convertible Debt

The fair market value of our 10% senior secured convertible debentures is subject to interest rate risk, market price risk and other factors due to the convertible feature of the debentures. The fair market value of the debentures will generally increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. In addition, the fair market value of the debentures will generally increase as the market price of our common stock increases and decrease as the market price falls. The interest and market value changes affect the fair market value of the debentures but do not impact our financial position, cash flows or results of operations due to the fixed nature of the debt obligations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of
Epod Solar Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Epod Solar Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the period from July 8, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from July 8, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company's absence of significant revenues, recurring losses from operations, and its need for additional financing in order to fund its projected loss in 2011 raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The 2010 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Epod Solar Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

Epod Solar Inc. (the “Company”, “EPOD”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 8, 2010 and is in the development stage as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, “Development Stage Entities”.

On August 30, 2010 (the "Closing Date") EPOD closed on the acquisition from Nanotech Industries International Inc. ("Nanotech"), a corporation formed pursuant to the laws of Nevada on July 8, 2010, of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Nanotech (""Nanotech Shares") held by the holders of the Nanotech Shares ("Nanotech Shareholders") (the "Acquisition"). The purchase price for the Acquisition consisted of 3,381,003 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the " EPOD Common Stock") of the Registrant, issued to Nanotech Shareholders. Nanotech is the surviving and continuing entity and the historical financials following the reverse merger transaction will be those of Nanotech. As a result of such acquisition, our operations are now focused on the manufacturing and sale of Green Polyurethane™, including Green Polyurethane® Monolithic Floor Coating and Green Polyurethane™ Binder, an alternative non-toxic (isocyanate-free) polyurethane.

At December 31, 2010, the Company’s business operations had not been fully developed and its revenues had not reached a sufficient level to sustain ongoing operating costs. As a result, the Company is classified as a development stage company. The Company also remains highly dependent upon funding from non-operational sources.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses of $4,062,486 since inception. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support The Company's working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available the Company may be required to curtail its operations.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation - The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The financial statements do not present an audited balance sheet for comparative purposes, as Nanotech Industries International, the accounting acquirer of the reverse-merger (see note 1), was formed on July 8, 2010.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nanotech. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents EPOD maintains various cash balances in one financial institution located in Daly City, California. These balances are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insures up to $250,000. On occasion, balances may temporarily exceed such coverage. The company considers all highly liquid debt instruments, which could include commercial paper and certificates of deposits, with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investments with maturities greater than three months and less than on year are classified as short term investments.

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded when invoices are issued and are presented in the balance sheet net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the Company’s historical losses, the existing economic conditions, and the financial stability of its customers.

Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost is determined by using the average cost method.

Intangible Asset: - The intangible is comprised of intellectual property which is amortized on a straight-line basis over 36 months.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with Financial Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such asset may not be recoverable. The determination of recoverability of long-lived assets is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset or its disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or net realizable value. No impairment was recognized during 2010.

The Company amortizes its intangible asset over an estimated three year life.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, goods are delivered, sales price is determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

Income Taxes Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated income tax effect of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are also provided for certain tax loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As long as the Company is categorized as a development stage company, the net amount of any potential deferred tax assets will be off-set by such valuation allowance. Deferred income taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates that are assumed will be in effect when the asset and liability basis differences reverse and/or when the tax loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards are utilized.

Fair Value Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach are used to measure fair value.

Development Stage – The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities” in its characterization of the Company as a development stage enterprise.

Stock Based Compensation - Stock based compensation expense is recorded in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock compensation”, for stock and stock options awarded in return for services rendered. The expense is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is the vesting period. The Company estimates forfeitures that it expects will occur and records expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTE 4– INTANGIBLE ASSET

On July 12, 2010, EPOD (formerly Nanotech Industries International Inc.) entered into an agreement with Nanotech Industries Inc., an entity who’s CEO is our CEO and Director, for the rights to manufacture and distribute environmentally safe, coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers using Nanotech Industries Inc’s technology. As per the licensing agreement, EPOD has a three year exclusivity for all of North America and has the option to obtain rights for the rest of the world on an exclusive perpetual basis, in exchange for the issuance of stock to equal 62.5% of the Company’s total shares.

As part of the licensing agreement, EPOD agreed to pay Nanotech Industries Inc. a one -time licensing fee of $500,000 and a 5% royalty on sales. The licensing fee must be paid within twelve months of the date of the agreement. The licensing rights were valued by management at $500,000 based on an independent appraisal of the transaction. The capitalized license rights are being amortized over a three year life. The amount of amortization for the period ending December 31, 2010 was $77,957.

Intangibles consist of the following at December 31, 2010:

License $  500,000  
       
Total Intangible asset   500,000  
Less: accumulated amortization   77,957  
Total intangible asset, net $  422,043  

NOTE 5–LOAN PAYABLE

The loan from a non-related party was issued for $75,000 on November 16, 2010 and is repayable on May 16, 2011 with a 10% premium. This $7,500 premium is being amortized over the six month period and accordingly $1,875 in interest has been expensed at December 31, 2010.

NOTE 6 – SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On August 16, 2010 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a third party for the subscription of senior secured convertible debentures (“SSCD”) for an amount of $400,000. The debentures have a maturity of 2 years with a coupon of 10% and convert into shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.75 per share. The notes are secured by all assets of the Company. The subscriber also received 533,336 series A warrants with a maturity of 1 year and an exercise price of $1.25 and 133,360 series B warrants with a maturity of 3 years and an exercise price of $1.50. The maturity of the Series A warrants were extended to February 28, 2014 in March 2011. The debentures and series A warrants carry registration rights whereby upon the consummation of the reverse merger with EPOD, the shares underlying the debentures and series A warrants will be registered in an S-1 filing as soon as is practicable. All prices and warrants issued have been adjusted for the post acquisition of EPOD by NTI.

The obligations of the Company under the SSCD will rank senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company and shall be secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in all the assets of the Company.

 F-10


The unamortized discount of $222,132 is as a result of the relative fair value of the Series A and B warrants attached to the SSCD. The fair value of these was determined to be $273,393 using the assumptions discussed below. Amortization of the debt discount was $51,261 for the period ending December 31, 2010, and is included in interest expense. The discount will be amortized using the effective interest method over the two year term of the debt

A beneficial conversion feature was determined to exist based on the relative fair value of the warrants and the debt ($126,607), and was recognized as interest expense. An additional $15,000 of interest expense has been accrued at 10%.

The fair value of the Series A & B warrants issued with the debentures was determined by the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, using the following assumptions:

Series A:

Expected volatility   149.0%  
Expected life   1 year  
Risk-free interest rate   0.25%  
Dividend yield $  Nil

As a result, the Company recorded an expense and an adjustment to additional paid-in capital of $2,047,471 during the period ending December 31, 2010, based on the fair value of the warrants on the dates of issuance and modification. There are no registration rights or exercise price adjustments related to these warrants.

The number of warrants has been reduced to 750,000 and the exercise price is now $0.40 per share. After the exercise of warrants as described below, there are 687,500 of these warrants outstanding. As a result, the Company recorded an expense and an adjustment to additional paid-in capital of $849,063 during the period ending December 31, 2010, based on the fair value of the warrants on the dates of issuance and modification.

The fair value of the July 8, 2010 warrants issued, and their August 2010 revaluation was determined by the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, using the following assumptions:

    July 2010     August 2010

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings that have occurred during the past five years concerning our directors or control persons which involved a criminal conviction, a criminal proceeding, an administrative or civil proceeding limiting one's participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.

Code of Ethics

Due to the limited scope of our current operations, the Company has not yet adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar function. Following completion of the Acquisition described in Item 1, we may adopt a Code of Ethics.

Committees

Since our Board of Directors has not established an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our Board of Directors as a whole, nor has the Board established a corporate governance committee or nominating committee.

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies, as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board of Directors will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

The Board is of the opinion that such committees and procedures are currently not necessary, as the Company is an early exploration stage company, has only one director and, to date, such director has been performing the functions of such committees. When we are able to expand our Board of Directors to include one or more independent directors, our Board of Directors plans to form an audit committee and a corporate governance committee.

Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires or directors and officers, and the persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Copies of all filed reports are required to be furnished to us pursuant to Rule 16a-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based solely on the reports received by us and on the representations of the reporting persons, we believe that these persons have complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Related Persons

None of the following parties has had, since the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year, any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect the Registrant:

  • Any directors or executive officers;
  • Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to the outstanding shares of Common Stock;
  • Any promoters; and
  • Any member of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings and in-laws) of any of the foregoing persons.

Director Independence

Because the Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Company is not subject to the independence requirements of any securities exchange or the NASD regarding members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company intends, in the future, to use the definition of “independence” of a national securities exchange or of an inter-dealer quotation system which requires that a majority of the Board of Directors be independent. The Company has not determined whether any of its directors are independent.
