EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (ECD) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 13, 2005 (Amendment No. 1), to amend and restate the information provided under Item 9A. of Part II, "Controls and Procedures." This Amendment No. 1 responds to comments of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its review of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

 

This Amendment No. 1 does not affect the original financial statements or footnotes as originally filed. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events that have occurred after the original filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 13, 2005 and does not modify or update the disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed in any way except with regard to the specific modifications described in this Explanatory Note.

 

Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as a result of this Amendment No. 1, the certifications pursuant to Section 302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, filed and furnished, respectively, as exhibits to the original filing, have been re-executed and refiled as of the date of this Amendment No. 1 and are included as Exhibits 31.3, 31.4 and 32.1 hereto. Therefore, Part IV, Item 15. of the original filing has been amended to reflect the new certifications described above.

 

This Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the original filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the original Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

PART II

 

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures

 

 

A.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2005. This conclusion was reached solely due to a material weakness resulting from a failure to ensure the correct application of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 – Revenue Recognition when the revenue from sale transactions with certain of our international customers was initially recognized in a manner that was inconsistent with the shipping terms of Delivered Duty Paid.

B.

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control

 

 

We are confident that, as of the date of this filing, we have fully remediated the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to accounting for these sale transactions. The remedial actions included:

 

 

improving training, education and accounting reviews designed to ensure that all relevant personnel involved in sale transactions understand and apply proper revenue recognition accounting in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 – Revenue Recognition; and

 

reviewing all shipping terms, other than FOB shipping point, to ensure proper revenue recognition with current contracts; and

 

adding controls around changes to shipping terms, other than FOB shipping point, and monitoring shipping terms periodically; and

 

reviewing all new contracts to ensure that proper revenue recognition occurs.

 

Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect, including the remedial actions discussed above, and we have concluded that, as of this date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

 

C.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment, the management concluded that, as of June 30, 2005, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

 

Management identified the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting with respect to accounting for certain sale transactions.

 

 

a failure to ensure the correct application of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 – Revenue Recognition when certain sale transactions were entered into with our international customers with shipping terms of Delivered Duty Paid.
