1. Nature of Business and Continuance of Operations
Environmental Control Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 17, 2004 under the name Boss Minerals, Inc. and, effective April 13, 2006, changed its name to Environmental Control Corp. Boss Minerals, Inc.’s initial operations included the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.
On March 20, 2006, management changed its primary business focus to that of development of emission control devices for small spark ignition combustion engines. On March 20, 2006, the Company entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire the principal assets of Environmental Control Corp. (“ECC”), a private Canadian based company. The Company is in the development stage as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Entities. On April 4, 2006, the Company authorized a 5:1 stock split to be applied retroactively. In addition, the Company increased its authorized share capital to 200,000,000 common shares. All share amounts stated herein have been restated to reflect the stock split. On February 26, 2007, the acquisition of the business of ECC was completed through the issuance of 22,500,000 shares of common stock. Prior to the acquisition of ECC, the Company was a non-operating shell company. The acquisition was a capital transaction in substance and therefore has been accounted for as a recapitalization, which is outside the scope of ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under recapitalization accounting, ECC was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes, and acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Company. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were reported at their historical amounts. These financial statements include the accounts of the Company since the effective date of the recapitalization (February 26, 2007) and the historical accounts of the business of ECC since inception on March 6, 1999.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at June 30, 2010, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $11,798 and has incurred losses totalling $2,038,922 since inception, and has not yet generated any revenue from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management estimates expenditures of approximately $80,000 for research and development activities, and approximately $190,000 for other operational costs over the next twelve months. The Company had $63,991 in cash on hand at June 30, 2010. The Company currently has no revenues and must rely on debt financing and the sale of equity securities to fund operations. The Company does not have any arrangements in place for any future equity or debt financings, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary financings to complete its objectives.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in Canadian dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
b) Interim Financial Statements
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K filed March 31, 2010 with the SEC.
The financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the six month and three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
c) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recoverability of receivables and investment tax credit receivable, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, stock-based compensation and financial instrument valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
e) Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, advances from related parties and convertible debentures issued to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments the fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the Company’s other financial instruments approximate their current fair values.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 as follows:

The Company’s operations are in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
f) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2010, the Company has 2,494,990 potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
g) Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
h) Foreign Currency Translation
Effective on the closing of the Agreement on February 26, 2007 (see Note 1), the Company’s functional and reporting currency changed to the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
i) Stock-based Compensation
In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, the Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
j) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of office furniture, equipment, and computer equipment which are recorded at cost. Office furniture is amortized on a declining-balance basis at 20% per annum, equipment is amortized on a declining-balance basis at 30% per annum, and computer equipment is amortized on a declining-balance basis at 30% per annum.
k) Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
l) Research and Development Costs
In accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development, research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are also expensed unless they meet the criteria for deferral. When development costs meet the criteria for deferral, the development costs are deferred to the extent their recoverability can be reasonably assured. Deferred development costs represent the cost of developing specific products and are amortized on a straight line basis over the expected commercial life of the product.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
m) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
n) Investment Tax Credits
The Company incurs research and development expenditures that may qualify for investment tax credits recoverable from Canadian tax authorities. Investment tax credits are accounted for using the cost reduction approach. Under this approach, investment tax credits received or receivable are deducted from research and development expenditures when the Company has made the qualifying expenditures, provided that there is reasonable assurance that the credits will be realized. Realization is assessed based on the Company’s collection history. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized $14,880 in investment tax credits (2008 - $nil) which were applied against research and development expenditures in the statement of operations. As at June 30, 2010, the Company has $14,880 in investment tax credits receivable (December 31, 2009 - $14,880). The investment tax credits must be examined and approved by the tax authorities and the amounts granted may differ from the amounts recorded.
o) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

5. Convertible Debentures Issued to Related Parties
a) On July 30, 2008, the Company entered into a convertible debenture agreement with a company controlled by the President of the Company. The Company received US$36,376 ($36,960) which bears interest at 10% per annum and is due five years from the advancement date. No interest shall be payable for the first year from the advancement date but shall accrue from the advancement date and all accrued interest shall be payable annually, on the subsequent anniversaries of the advancement date. Proceeds of the loan are to be used to acquire certain patents and intellectual property rights and the loan amount is secured against such intellectual property. Any portion of the loan and unpaid interest are convertible at any time at the option of the lender into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of US$0.17 per share. The Company recognized the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of US$6,419 ($6,523) as additional paid-in capital and reduced the carrying value of the convertible debenture to US$29,957 ($30,437). The carrying value will be accreted over the term of the convertible debenture up to its face value of US$36,376. As at June 30, 2010, the carrying values of the convertible debenture and accrued convertible interest payable thereon were $34,199 and $7,427, respectively, after translation into Canadian dollars. The Company can repay any portion of the loan and accrued interest at any time without penalty.
b) On October 16, 2008, the Company entered into a convertible debenture agreement with the President of the Company. The Company received US$50,000 ($59,110) which bears interest at 10% per annum and is due five years from the advancement date. No interest shall be payable for the first year from the advancement date but shall accrue from the advancement date and all accrued interest shall be payable annually, on the subsequent anniversaries of the advancement date. Proceeds of the loan are to be used to repay an outstanding loan and to further business development and research and development activities. Any portion of the loan and unpaid interest are convertible at any time at the option of the lender into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of US$0.07 per share. The Company recognized the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of US$14,286 ($16,889) as additional paid-in capital and reduced the carrying value of the convertible debenture to US$35,714 ($42,221). The carrying value will be accreted over the term of the convertible debenture up to its face value of US$50,000. As at June 30, 2010, the carrying values of the convertible debenture and accrued convertible interest thereon were $41,971 and $9,071, respectively, after translation into Canadian dollars. The Company can repay any portion of the loan and accrued interest at any time without penalty.

Under the arrangement, the employee was to be issued 62,500 shares of common stock and 187,500 share purchase warrants, each on July 28, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. The Company issued 62,500 shares on each of March 15, 2007 and August 19, 2008, and issued 125,000 shares on December 16, 2009. On September 12, 2008, the employee resigned and became a consultant to the Company (refer to Note 9(b)).

Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

We currently target small spark-ignition engines, including personal transportation devices, off-road recreational vehicles, personal watercrafts, water pumps and in particular the lawn and garden industry. Included under the lawn and garden segment are: walk behind rotary mowers, rear engine riding mowers, front engine lawn tractors, riding garden tractors, walk-behind rotary tillers, snow throwers, commercial turf intermediate walk-behind rotary mowers, commercial turf riding rotary mowers, gasoline powered chainsaws, gasoline powered hand-held blowers, gasoline powered backpack blowers, gasoline powered trimmers/brushcutters and gasoline powered hedge trimmers. We are currently focused on the North American market and we are targeting Original Engine Manufacturers (OEMs). The aftermarket parts segment represents a secondary market.
Cash Requirements
Based on our planned expenditures, we will require approximately $270,000 to proceed with our business plan over the next 12 months. If we secure less than the full amount of financing than we require, we will not be able to carry out our complete business plan and we will be forced to proceed with a scaled back business plan based on our available financial resources.
We intend to raise the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months from private placements, loans from related parties or possibly a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a broker-dealer). If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through such efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such as bank loans. At this time we do not have a commitment from any broker-dealer to provide us with financing. There is no assurance that any financing will be available to us or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.
Even though we plan to raise capital through equity or debt financing, we believe that the latter may not be a viable alternative for funding our operations as we do not have tangible assets to secure any such financing. We anticipate that any additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds from the sale of our common stock to finance our operations. In the absence of such financing, we may be forced to abandon our business plan.

Over the next twelve months we expect to expend funds as follows:

Sales and marketing expenses

Total

We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, a successful program of exploration and/or development, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Equity Compensation
We currently do not have any stock option or equity compensation plans or arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
4
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. At March 31, 2010, we have no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, advances from related parties and convertible debentures issued to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
Our operations are in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to our operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, we do not use derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk.
Inflation
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
Going Concern
As of June 30, 2010, we have accumulated losses of $2,038,922 since inception, we have a working capital deficiency of $11,798 and have earned no revenues since inception. We rely upon the sale of our common stock to fund our operations. We may not generate any revenues in the future and if we are unable to raise equity or secure alternative financing, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business plan may fail.
If our operations and cash flow improve, management believes that we can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or an improvement in our liquidity situation. The threat of our ability to continue as a going concern will cease to exist only when our revenues have reached a level able to sustain our business operations.
