Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Plan Administrator and Participants of
Spire Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Bedford, Massachusetts

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Spire Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Plan as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 28, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

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 Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2010 and the schedule of delinquent contributions for the year ended December 31, 2010 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Plan Administrator and Participants of
Spire Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Bedford, Massachusetts

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Spire Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2009 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Spire Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2010


1.    Plan Description

The following brief description of the Spire Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") provides general information only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of Spire Corporation (the “Company”). The Plan was established January 1, 1985 and was restated using a prototype provided by American Funds when they assumed the position as plan services provider in 2009. The Plan was most recently amended in December 2010. Capital Bank and Trust Company serves as the trustee (the “Trustee”) of the Plan's assets for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 , as amended (the "Code"), and the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as amended.
    
Eligibility and Contributions

Employees of the Company become eligible to participate in the Plan with voluntary contributions to their 401(k) salary deferral account upon reaching the age of 21 and upon completion of ninety (90) days of service with the Company. The entry dates are the first of the month following eligibility. A participant may contribute up to the maximum amount of pre-tax annual compensation allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. Participants may contribute rollover distributions from other qualified plans. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment funds offered by the Plan. Currently, the Plan offers to participants investments in the Company's common stock, mutual funds and a money market fund.

Matching Contribution and Profit Sharing Contribution Plan Component

The Company may contribute a discretionary matching contribution on the first 15% of compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. In 2010, the Company made a matching contribution amounting to $214,944. In addition, the Company may make a profit sharing contribution. In 2010, the Company did not make any profit sharing contribution.

Vesting

Participants are vested immediately in their voluntary contributions to the Plan plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company matching contribution is based on continuous years of service and a participant is 100 percent vested after six years of credited service.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of any Company matching contribution and the Plan earnings. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. The participant directs the investment of his or her individual account by selecting among various mutual funds, a money market fund or Company common stock. Each participant has the ability to change the investment percentage at any time.
    
Forfeited Accounts

Termination of a participant who is not fully vested results in forfeiture of the non-vested portion of the participant's account balance. Forfeitures may be used to reduce future employer contributions. The forfeited amounts available at December 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $68,943 and $34,126 respectively.
        
Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or fifty percent of their vested account balance.  The loan terms range from 1 to 5 years or up to 10 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the plan administrator. The participant may have two outstanding loans at any given time. Interest rates are fixed at prime plus one percent on the loan origination date. Principal and interest are repaid ratably through

5

Spire Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended December 31, 2010

payroll deductions. Notes receivable from participants outstanding were $206,930 and $164,818 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, interest rates on loans outstanding range between 4.25% and 9.25%.

Payments of Benefits

Employees are permitted to withdraw funds from their accounts upon attaining the age of 59-1/2, retirement, termination, financial hardship, disability or death. The participant or beneficiary may elect to receive lump-sum cash payments or installment payments over the participant's and beneficiary's assumed life expectancy determined at the time of distribution. Benefits are recorded when paid.

Plan Termination

Although management has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue and terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan terminates, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.    

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses of the Plan are borne by the Company, except for fees related to administration of participant loans, which are deducted from the applicable participants' accounts.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect net assets available for benefits.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASU 2010-06”). This update requires: (a) separate disclosures for significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and the reasons for the transfers; (b) separate disclosure of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of activity within Level 3; (c) the use of judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and (d) a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Plan adopted ASU 2010-06 for the year ended December 31, 2010 except for the provisions that are not effective until the year ended December 31, 2011. The Plan is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASU 2010-06 that are not effective until the year ended December 31, 2011 on its financial statements.

In September 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-25, Plan Accounting – Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962): Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans (“ASU 2010-25”). The objective of this update is to clarify how loans to participants should be classified and measured by defined contribution pension benefit plans. ASU 2010-25 requires that participant loans be classified as notes receivable from participants, which are segregated from plan investments and measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010 and shall be applied retrospectively. The Plan adopted this pronouncement on a retrospective basis effective beginning on January 1, 2010. Prior to the adoption of this pronouncement, participant loans were held as an investment and carried at fair value. The Plan has reclassified amounts previously reported to conform to the current presentation. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (Topic 820)—Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2011-04"). The objective of this update is to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure

6

Spire Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
For the Year Ended December 31, 2010

that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for the Plan prospectively for the year ending December 31, 2012. The Plan is currently evaluating the impact of pending adoption of ASU 2011-04 on its financial statements.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan's investments are valued at fair value. 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. Shares of mutual funds are valued at published market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end.

The Company's common stock is held by participants in a unitized fund, which means participants do not own shares of the Company's common stock but rather own an interest in the unitized fund. The fund consists of common stock and cash equivalents to meet the fund’s daily cash needs. Unitizing the fund allows for daily trades. The value of a unit reflects the combined value of the Company's common stock and cash held by the fund. The Plan owns the underlying assets of shares in common stock and the underlying cash.

Purchases and sales of investments and realized gains and losses are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recorded as earned and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Plan reports the net appreciation or decline in the fair value of its investments consisting of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on those investments in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants are measured at the unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest earned on notes receivable is accounted for in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets, liabilities and changes in net assets in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides to participants various investment options consisting primarily of mutual funds, Company common stock and a money market fund. Mutual funds invest in securities, such as, stocks, bonds, and fixed rate income securities. Investment securities are exposed to risks including changing interest rates, market fluctuations and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with investment securities, it is reasonable to assume that changes in the values of the investment securities will occur and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

4.    Fair Value Measurements

The Plan follows Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”), for fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on an exit price, which 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. The standard also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

The hierarchy established under ASC 820-10 gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). As required by ASC 820-10, the Plan's investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10, and their applicability to the Plan's investments, are described below:

Level 1 - Quoted Prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who would buy the asset or assume the liability rather than the Plan's own specific measure. The Plan’s valuation methodology used to measure the fair values of mutual funds, money market funds and common stock were derived from quoted market prices as substantially all of these instruments have active markets. In periods of market inactivity, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for certain instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2 or from Level 2 to Level 3. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, none of the Plan's instruments were reclassified between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments (Level 1 and 2 inputs are defined above):

5.    Income Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated May 23, 1995, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

U.S. GAAP requires the Plan to assess the recording of uncertain tax positions by evaluating the minimum recognition threshold and measurement requirements a tax position must meet before being recognized as a benefit in the financial statements.   As of December 31, 2010, the Plan has not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or unrecognized benefits.  The Plan does not expect any material change in uncertain tax benefits within the next twelve months.  The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.  The plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2007.

6.    Excess Contributions

Contributions received from participants for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 include $74,456 and $91,628, respectively, of excess contributions (net of corresponding gains and losses) that were remitted to certain active participants. The excess contributions are included in the Plan’s statement of net assets available for benefits as excess contributions payable. The excess deferral contributions, originally deducted in the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, were subsequently returned to comply with the participants’ applicable maximum annual contributions permitted under the Code.

7.    Notes Receivable from Participants


9



The Plan permits participants to obtain loans against their account balance. The loans are administered by the trustee and are measured at the unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon. Under certain circumstances, delinquent loans may be treated as distributions from the Plan. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, total loans outstanding were $206,930 and $164,818 respectively. Interest earned on such loans for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $9,792.

8.    Party-in-Interest Transactions

Capital Bank and Trust is the custodian of the Plan's assets and record keeper. Certain participant investments are in American Funds investment vehicles, which are managed by Capital Bank and Trust and these transactions are considered as party-in-interest.

Participant loans granted in accordance with the Plan are considered as party-in-interest transactions.

The Plan sponsor has paid audit fees for 2010 aggregating $15,500.

10.    Untimely Remittances

As reported on Form 5500, Schedule H, Line 4a - Schedule of Delinquent Participant Contributions, certain participant contributions were not remitted to the Plan within the time frame specified by the Department of Labor's Regulation 29 CFR 2510.3-102, thus constituting nonexempt transactions between the Plan and the Company during the 2010 Plan year. Late remittances amounted to $49,143. The Company is currently in process of making the appropriate filings in accordance with the Department of Labor's Voluntary Fiduciary Corrective Program and has recorded a receivable to the Plan in the amount of $39 representing estimated lost earnings.

11.    Subsequent Events

The Plan evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing and had no subsequent events to report.
