NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates
          Interim Reporting. While the information presented in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements is unaudited, it includes all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the September 30, 2007 audited annual consolidated financial statements of Ecology Coatings, Inc. (“we”, “us”, the “Company” or “Ecology”). It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s September 30, 2007 annual consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2007.
          Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended September 30, 2008.
     Description of the Company. We were originally incorporated in Nevada on February 6, 2002 as OCIS Corp. (“OCIS”). OCIS completed a merger with Ecology Coatings, Inc. a California corporation (“Ecology-CA”) on July 26, 2007 (the “Merger”). In the Merger, OCIS changed its name from OCIS Corporation to Ecology Coatings, Inc. We develop nanotechnology-enabled, ultra-violet curable coatings that are designed to drive efficiencies and clean processes in manufacturing. We create proprietary coatings with unique performance and environmental attributes by leveraging our platform of integrated nano-material technologies that reduce overall energy consumption and offer a marked decrease in drying time. Ecology’s market consists electronics, automotive and trucking, paper products and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).
     Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Ecology-CA. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
     Revenue Recognition. Revenues from licensing contracts are recorded ratably over the life of the contract. Contingency earnings such as royalty fees are recorded when the amount can reasonably be determined and collection is likely.

     Loss Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible debt. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the weighted average number of shares if their effect is antidilutive. The Company had a net loss for all periods presented herein; therefore, none of the stock options outstanding or stock associated with the convertible debt during each of the periods presented were included in the computation of diluted loss per share as they were antidilutive. For the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were 3,792,900 and 150,000 potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
     Income Taxes and Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities as reported for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes and for the future use of net operating losses. We have recorded a valuation allowance against the net deferred income tax asset. The valuation allowance reduces deferred income tax assets to an amount that represents management’s best estimate of the amount of such deferred income tax assets that more likely than not will be realized. The Company cannot be assured of future income to realize the net deferred income tax asset; therefore, no deferred income tax asset has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3-7 years.
Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized as incurred.
The Company reviews long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Patents. It is the Company’s policy to capitalize costs associated with securing a patent. Costs consist of legal and filing fees. Once a patent is issued, it will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. Four patents were issued as December 31, 2007 and are being amortized over 8 years.
Stock-Based Compensation. Our stock option plans are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Number 123(R), Share-Based Payment . Under the provisions of SFAS Number 123(R), employee and director stock-based compensation expense is measured utilizing the fair-value method.
The Company accounts for stock options granted to non-employees under SFAS Number 123(R) using EITF 98-16, requiring the measurement and recognition of stock-based compensation to consultants under the fair-value method with stock-based compensation expense being charged to earnings on the earlier of the date services are performed or a performance commitment exists.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which establishes how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under GAAP. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on our financial statements, but we do not expect SFAS 157 to have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
          In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. SFAS 159 will become effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement would have had no impact on the results or financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2007
     In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)) and No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 141(R) will significantly change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 are effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (October 1, 2009 for Ecology). Early adoption is prohibited for both standards. SFAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 160 would have no impact on our financial position or results of operations. Management is in the process of evaluating SFAS 141(R) and determining what effect, if any, it may have on our financial position and results of operations going forward.

Note 7 — Stock Options (continued)
Stock Option Plan (continued) 615,300 of the options were exercisable as of December 31, 2007. The options are subject to various vesting periods between June 26, 2007 and January 1, 2012. The options expire on various dates between June 1, 2016 and December 28, 2017. Additionally, the options had no intrinsic value as of December 31, 2007. Intrinsic value arises when the exercise price is lower than the trading price on the date of grant.
Our stock option plans are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Number 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation . Under the provisions of SFAS Number 123(R), employee and director stock-based compensation expense is measured utilizing the fair-value method.
The Company accounts for stock options granted to non-employees under SFAS Number 123(R) using EITF 98-16 requiring the measurement and recognition of stock-based compensation to consultants under the fair-value method with stock-based compensation expense being charged to earnings on the earlier of the date services are performed or a performance commitment exists.
In calculating the compensation related to employee/consultants and directors stock option grants, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:
     
Dividend
  None
Expected volatility
  91.69%-101.73%
Risk free interest rate
  3.52%-5.11%
Expected life
  5.5 years
The expected volatility was derived utilizing the price history of another publicly traded nanotechnology company. This company was selected due to the fact that it is widely traded and is in the same equity sector as our Company.
The risk free interest rate figures shown above contain the range of such figures used in the Black-Scholes calculation. The specific rate used was dependent upon the date of option grant.
Based upon the above assumptions and the weighted average $2.07 exercise price, the options outstanding at December 31, 2007 had a total unrecognized compensation cost of $1,926,959 and will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.5 years. Compensation cost of $534,438 was recorded as an expense for the three months ending December 31, 2007 of which $182,326 was recorded as compensation expense and $352,112 was recorded as consulting expense.

Note 8 — Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months ended December 31, 2007 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, we incurred net losses of ($1,464,200) and ($4,560,870), respectively. At December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, we had stockholders’ deficit and equity of ($639,475) and $290,287, respectively.
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, to develop commercially viable products and processes, and ultimately to establish profitable operations. We have financed operations through operating revenues and through the issuance of equity securities and debt. Until we are able to generate positive operating cash flows, additional funds will be required to support operations. We believe that current working capital will be sufficient to enable us to continue as a going concern through February 29, 2008. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “plan,” “future,” “continue,” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations or forecasts of future events, can be affected by inaccurate assumptions, and are subject to various business risks and known and unknown uncertainties, a number of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this document, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. A wide variety of factors could cause or contribute to such differences and could adversely impact revenues, profitability, cash flows and capital needs. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this document will, in fact, transpire or prove to be accurate.
     Factors that could cause or contribute to our actual results differing materially from those discussed herein or for our stock price to be adversely affected include, but are not limited to: (i) we are largely an inception stage company and have a history of operating losses; (ii) we expect to continue to generate operating losses and experience negative cash flow and it is uncertain whether we will achieve future profitability; (iii) we require additional financing to continue our operations and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing, or obtain it on terms acceptable to us; (iv) we are dependent on key personnel; (v) we are operating in both mature and developing markets, and there is uncertainty as to acceptance of our technology and products in these markets; (vi) we have a long sales cycle; (vii) our target markets are characterized by new products and rapid technological change; (viii) our market is competitive; (ix) we have limited marketing capability; (x) we are dependent on manufacturers and suppliers; (xi) we are uncertain of our ability to protect technology through patents; (xii) we are uncertain of our ability to protect our proprietary technology and information; (xiii) risks related to our license arrangements; (xiv) we have not completed our trademark registrations; (xv) there is a limited market for our common stock and holders may not be able to sell shares; (xvi) sufficient voting power by coalitions of a few of our larger stockholders to make corporate governance decisions that could have significant effect on us and the other stockholders; (xvii) because our common stock will likely be considered a “penny stock,” any investment in our shares is considered to be a high-risk investment and is subject to restrictions on marketability; (xviii) we have never paid dividends and have no plans to in the future; (xviv) the issuance of options and warrants may dilute the interest of stockholders; (xx) we have additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock; and (xxi) indemnification of officers and directors. For a more detailed description of these and other cautionary factors that may affect our future results, please refer to our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2008
Recent Developments for the Company
Operating Results
Three Months Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2006
Results From Operations
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, were $10,417 and $10,417, respectively. All of the revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were derived from the licensing agreement with Red Spot. These revenues stem from the amortization of the initial payment of $125,000 by Red Spot to the Company in May 2005 and not from any subsequent transactions.
Salaries and Fringe Benefits for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $532,014 and $181,110, respectively. The increase in such expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 is explained by the presence of five additional executives and employees during that time period compared with the same period in the prior year. Additionally, the two executives who were employed by the Company during the three months ended December 31, 2006 were awarded raises effective January 1, 2007. This is also reflected in the increase in this expense category for the three months ended December 31, 2007
Professional Fees for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $776,834 and $273,704, respectively. The increase in such expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 is attributable to the additional consultants that were in place for purposes of providing business development, investor relations, financial, and information technology consulting. Additionally, approximately $350,000 of the difference stems from the recognition of the expense associated with options granted to various consultants in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007.

Other General and Administrative Expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $144,408 and $69,952, respectively. The increase in such expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 is explained by significant increases in travel, travel-related, and marketing expenses incurred in business development activities, and certain insurance costs.
Operating Losses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were ($1,442,839) and ($514,349), respectively. The increased loss between the periods is explained by the increase in Salaries and Fringe Benefits, Professional Fees, and Other General and Administrative Expenses discussed above.
Interest Income for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $5,531 and $0, respectively. This income reflects interest earned on cash balances.
Interest Expense for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $26,892 and $38,667, respectively. These amounts reflect interest accrued on convertible notes payable to third parties as well as notes payable to related parties.
Income Tax Provision . No provision for income tax benefit from net operating losses has been made for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 as the Company has fully reserved the asset until realization is more reasonably assured.
Net Loss for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was ($1,464,200) and ($553,016), respectively. The increased loss between the periods is explained by the increase in Salaries and Fringe Benefits, Professional Fees, and Other General and Administrative Expenses discussed above.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was ($.05) and ($.02), respectively. This change reflects the effect of the increased Net Loss discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources . Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007 totaled $105,275 and $808,163, respectively. This decrease is explained by cash used in operations of approximately $647,00 and cash used in the purchase of property and equipment and intangible assets of approximately $55,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current and Expected Liquidity
Historically, we have financed operations primarily through the issuance of our debt and equity securities. As we do not anticipate generating significant revenues from operations during the current fiscal year, we expect to rely on the additional sale of such securities in order to fund ongoing operations. We currently have no commitments for additional financing. There can be no assurances that any such additional financing will be offered to us, and if so, offered on terms acceptable to us. Any additional financing may contemplate a sale of our equity securities, which may be dilutive to stockholders, or debt securities, which would likely restrict our ability to make acquisitions and borrow from other sources.
Our cash decreased by $702,888, from $808,163 at September 30, 2007 to $105,275 at December 31, 2007. This decrease is due to cash used in operations of approximately $647,000 and cash used in the purchase of fixed assets of approximately $55,000. Subsequent to the period under review, on February 5, 2008, we raised $350,000 in cash through the issuance of a new series of notes, which come due May 31, 2008.
We expect to continue using substantial amounts of cash to (i) secure and commercialize our intellectual property; (ii) develop and market our products; (iii) generate revenues; and (iv) improve our visibility in the public marketplace. Our cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned depending on numerous factors, including the status of our marketing efforts, our business development activities, the results of future research and development, competition and our ability to generate revenues. As such, there can be no assurance that the proceeds from any sale of our debt or equity securities will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements.
On December 31, 2007, we had 32,150,684 common shares issued and outstanding. As of that same date, warrants and options to purchase up to 3,792,900 shares of common stock had been granted and $197,693 in convertible notes and accrued interest were outstanding that could be converted into 120,135 shares of common stock. Additionally, three related parties hold notes from us that have certain conversion rights which allow them to convert all or a portion of the amounts then owing into shares of the Company’s common stock. On February 5, 2008, 60,000 shares of our common stock were issued and an additional 60,000 shares will be issued to a consultant in conformance with the terms of our agreement with the consultant. All of our indebtedness is unsecured. The notes issued February 5, 2008 contain restrictive covenants that prohibit us from selling additional debt with priority in right of payment to the holders of the notes issued on February 5, 2008 without first retiring all of the notes payable. Such restrictions may inhibit our ability to issue additional debt securities.
We are an inception stage company and have incurred an accumulated deficit of $7,371,369. We have incurred such losses primarily as a result of general and administrative expenses, professional expenses and our limited amount of revenue. Accordingly, we have received a report from our independent auditors that includes an explanatory paragraph describing their substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Any inability to raise additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of the statements in accordance with these principles requires that we make estimates, using available data and our judgment, for such things as valuing assets, accruing liabilities and estimating expenses. The following is a discussion of what we feel are the most critical estimates that we must make when preparing our financial statements.
     Revenue Recognition. Revenues from licensing contracts are recorded ratably over the life of the contract. Contingency earnings such as royalty fees are recorded when the amount can reasonably be determined and collection is likely.
     Income Taxes and Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities as reported for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes and for the future use of net operating losses. We have recorded a valuation allowance against the net deferred income tax asset. The valuation allowance reduces deferred income tax assets to an amount that represents management’s best estimate of the amount of such deferred income tax assets that more likely than not will be realized.
     Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
     
Computer equipment
  3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures
  3-7 years
Test equipment
  5-7 years
Software
  3 years
Marketing and promotional video
  3 years
     Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized as incurred.
     The Company reviews long lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset with future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
     Patents. It is the Company’s policy to capitalize costs associated with securing a patent. Costs consist of legal and filing fees. Once a patent is issued, it is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. For purposes of the preparation of the unaudited, consolidated financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10QSB, we have recorded amortization expense associated with the patents based on an eight year useful life.
     Stock-Based Compensation. We have a stock incentive plan that provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock and other awards to employees and service providers. We calculate compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. In so doing, we estimate certain key assumptions used in the model. We believe the estimates we use, which are presented in Note 7 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, are appropriate and reasonable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which establishes how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under GAAP. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on our financial statements, but we do not expect SFAS 157 to have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. SFAS 159 will become effective for the Company beginning with fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating what effects the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on the Company’s future results of operations and financial condition.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)) and No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 141(R) will significantly change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 are effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (October 1, 2009 for Ecology). Early adoption is prohibited for both standards. SFAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 160 would have no impact on our financial position or results of operations. Management is in the process of evaluating SFAS 141(R) and determining what effect, if any, it may have on our financial position and results of operations going forward.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15e promulgated under the Exchange Act as of this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
     Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of certain duties at the Company due to the small number of employees with responsibility for general administrative and financial matters. This constitutes a deficiency in financial reporting. However, at this time, management has decided that considering the employees involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation of duties are insignificant and the potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the additional expenses associated with such increases. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation. If the volume of business increases and sufficient capital is secured, it is the Company’s intention to further increase staffing to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general, administrative and financial functions.
     A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Such limitations include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures, such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.
