Efficiency Corporation, (the “Company”) is filing this amendment to its

to communications received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”). This amendment amends and restates in full Item 4T –
Controls and Procedures, to disclosure changes made to our internal controls
over financial reporting during the quarter to correct deficiencies that
resulted in material weaknesses at December 31, 2009. Filed as
exhibits hereto are certifications to conform to the requirements of Item
601(b)(31) of Regulation S-K, dated as of the date of the filing of this
amendment.
No other
changes have been made to the Quarterly Report, as previously filed on May 17,

ITEM
4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of
its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by
this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act
reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner,
and (2) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls.
In connection with correcting material weaknesses identified by the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in our assessment
of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting as of December 31, 2009, we have
corrected our model for our estimated volatility, corrected our tax provision
model to include the deferred tax liability related to the tax amortization, as
well as implemented reviews to ensure that our accounting methodology is correct
as a control. We have implemented and will utilize these updated
models and controls for all necessary transactions going
forward.
