In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“SFAS 160”).  SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 160 on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

(a)

The lawsuit instituted by the Company on January 8, 2008 in the High Court in England, file no. HC08C00046, against Turbotec Products Plc regarding the PLC’s non-payment of dividends payable to Thermodynetics and the PLC’s attempt to off-set that dividend against administrative fees payable to the Company under their Relationship Agreement of April 28, 2006.  The PLC declared and paid dividends in cash to the other shareholders, but not to Thermodynetics.  Thermodynetics’ solicitors in the United Kingdom share the view as expressed in the written opinion of the Queen’s Counsel representing Thermodynetics that the interpretation by Thermodynetics of the relevant clauses in the Relationship Agreement as to their meaning and effect is the correct

8

one and is likely to prevail at trial, and therefore Thermodynetics does not view risk of loss to be probable or material.  

(b)

Turbotec Products, Inc. commenced a lawsuit against Thermodynetics on February 27, 2008 in the Connecticut Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford, alleging that Thermodynetics breached two commercial leases because it received certain overpayments as a result of alleged encroachment of space leased to Turbotec Products and for common area and maintenance charges, and that Thermodynetics improperly withdrew funds from a sinking fund established under one of the leases.  The lawsuit was transferred from the regular docket to the Housing Session and now is entitled Turbotec Products, Inc. v. Thermodynetics, Inc., Connecticut Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford, Housing Session, Docket No. 7712.  Thermodynetics denies the allegations, is vigorously defending the case which is still in its preliminary stages, and has filed counterclaims against Turbotec Products for sums due under the two leases.  On January 29, 2009, Turbotec Products was gr anted permission by the court to file an amended complaint adding counts for fraudulent inducement, fraudulent misrepresentation, and violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. Sect. 42-110b,et seq.) claiming that it was induced to enter into the two commercial leases based on vague allegations of false statements by an unidentified “officer, agent, employee and/or servant” of Thermodynetics. Thermodynamics expects to seeks a more detailed and definite statement of Turbotec Products’ new claims very soon and to conduct discovery to determine the alleged grounds for the new claims.  Thermodynetics does not view the risk of loss in the case as probable or material.  

(c)

An action was brought against Turbotec Products, Inc. by Pool Fact Industries, LLC in US District Court in the Southern District of Florida on June 14, 2007.  The suit alleges among other things that Turbotec supplied product to Pool Fact that contain defects in engineering design that caused Pool Fact to sustain damages in excess of $75,000.  This suit was settled in October 2008 with no significant financial impact on Turbotec.  The confidential settlement resolved all claims for any alleged future losses as well as those alleged in the complaint.  

(d)

There are a number of threatened and pending actions against the Company's discontinued subsidiary, Vulcan Industries, Inc., and a number of material judgments obtained against Vulcan.  Thermodynetics and its other subsidiaries are not and have not been a party to any such Vulcan actions

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Turbotec subsidiary continues to maintain its sales levels despite the slow down in the general economy.  For the 9 months ended December 31, 2008, revenues were in excess of $22 million as compared with the prior year’s almost $21 million.  While the major impetus in maintaining sales levels is the geothermal heat pump market, the swimming pool heat pump market, largely Florida oriented, remains weak.  Contributing to the steady sales levels were rebate programs and tax credits in the US and Canada.  The expectation of a slow down in shipments is anticipated in the January to March quarter, a typically slow period for the company, as customers are beginning to extend delivery dates for new orders and also reflect the current economic conditions in our markets.  

Another factor in the expectation of reduced revenues going forward involves the commodity prices that have declined significantly over the recent past.  The revenues reported include this factor as price increases are passed along to customers.  Gross profit margins are reduced when prices increase because not all costs are able to be passed along to customers; as prices of raw materials decline, the company can recapture certain costs and thereby improving manufacturing margins result.

Turbotec has proceeded with their plan to open a facility in North Carolina and began limited production in January.  Their reason is to allow for greater capacity and to relieve the pressure they are experiencing at their Connecticut facilities.  They expect, subject to economic conditions, to bring the facility to full production levels this summer.

The demand for high efficiency heat pumps as part of a “green” initiative continues to give Turbotec’s products broad appeal in retrofit and high end system applications.  

Gross margin percentage was 30% for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to 26% for the same period last year.  In the latest three month period the margin was 29% vs. 28% in the like period of 2007.  For the full fiscal year ended 31 March 2008 gross margin percentage was 28%.

Manufacturing costs show an improvement in gross profit margin which has occurred because of a combination of the reduced cost of raw materials, a more profitable product mix and the lean manufacturing programs that have been completed.  Simultaneously, inventories have increased from $3.1 million at March 31, 2008 to $3.9 million at December 31, 2008.  

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in both the three and nine month periods primarily because of increased costs incurred for corporate governance, engineering and administrative expenses and the cost of litigation.  Interest expenses were relatively constant in these periods.

The minority interest impact of the Company’s holding in Turbotec on the income statement was somewhat less in the current fiscal year than in the prior year.

Significant risk factors and economic considerations pertaining to Turbotec include the cost of energy and incentives provided by producers, sellers and municipalities to encourage the use of more efficient equipment; interest rates that can stimulate or depress purchasing demand; the cost and availability of materials used in production; and regulatory directives and incentives relating to energy consumption, conservation and environmental issues.  The Company may be affected by the economic downturn that the world is currently experiencing as poor business conditions, stock market volatility and other financial perturbations create disruptions or opportunities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2008 consolidated working capital was $4,191,000 compared to $4,308,000 at March 31, 2008.

Operating cash flow that was provided in 2008 was the result of collections of receivables, along with significant increases in non cash items including depreciation and minority interest. Cash flow provided by operations during 2007 was the result of collections of receivables, a build up inventory together with non cash items including depreciation, deferred taxes and minority interest.

10

The cash used in investing activities during 2008 was the results of the acquisition of property plant and equipment together with sales of marketable securities. This same category, during 2007, was the result of the acquisition of property plant and equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities during 2008 and 2007 were obtained from revolving debt facilities.

Aggregate long-term debt on a consolidated basis at December 31, 2008 was $1.8 million as compared to $2.0 million at March 31, 2008; these obligations represent mortgages on the two buildings housing the Thermodynetics and Turbotec operations.

The Company’s access to credit is believed to be adequate.  Conversations with the Company’s bankers have been positive in the current financial environment and it is anticipated that the Company’s working capital line will be extended.

The Company previously reported that it had invested a nominal amount in Tower Acquisitions Limited, a UK based company.  The investment is accounted for in the financial statements using the cost method.  Tower’s business plan is to acquire companies it wishes to operate while also assisting other companies raise cash through the capital markets in the United States and the United Kingdom.  As of this report, Tower has acquired a UK based corporate finance business, has made an offer to acquire the assets of a UK manufacturing company with an anticipated closing scheduled for the end of February and is assisting two US based companies seeking financing.

The UK lawsuit between the Company and its Plc subsidiary is scheduled to go to trial the week of March 16; we are confident the outcome will be favorable for Thermodynetics.

As we go forward, it is expected that certain industries will fair better than others under the new Obama administration in today's economic climate.  While there are likely to be proposals for a major influx of spending for the country’s infrastructure (and others), until the capital becomes readily available and the programs are identified, the outlook for resuscitating the economy will likely be murky.  

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain forward-looking statements regarding the Company, its business prospects and results of operations that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties posed by many factors and events that could cause the Company’s actual business, prospects and results of operations to differ materially from those that may be anticipated by such forward-looking statements.  Factors that may affect such forward-looking statements include, without limitation: the Company’s ability to successfully and timely develop and finance new projects, the impact of competition on the Company’s revenues, and changes in unit prices, supply and demand for Turbotec’s tubing product line especially in applications serving the commercial, industrial and residential construction industries.
