CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward Looking Statements

We are including the following cautionary statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions, future results of operations or financial position, made in this Report are forward looking. In particular, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements and their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are believed by management to have a reasonable basis, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties; however, management’s expectations, beliefs and projections may not be achieved or accomplished. In addition to other factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein, the following are important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements:

· our lack of working capital and lack of revenues;

· the availability of capital to us, in the amount and time needed, to fund our development programs and operations, and the terms and dilutive effect of any such financings;

· our ability to be successful in our product development and testing efforts;

· our ability to obtain commercial development for our planned products;

· our ability to obtain manufacturing for our planned products in a cost-effective manner and at the times and in the volumes required, while maintaining quality assurance;

· market demand for and acceptance of our planned products, and other factors affecting market conditions;

· technological advances and competitive pressure by our competitors;

· governmental regulations imposed on us in the United States and European Union; and

· the loss of any of our key employees or consultants.

For additional factors that can affect these forward-looking statements, see the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The forward-looking statements contained in this Report speak only as of the date hereof.  We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.  We disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

Vu1 CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

General

All references in these consolidated financial statements to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” are to Vu1 Corporation, Sendio, s.r.o., our Czech subsidiary, and our inactive subsidiary Telisar Corporation unless otherwise noted or indicated by its context.

We are focused on developing, manufacturing and selling a line of mercury free, energy efficient light bulbs based on our proprietary light-emitting technology.

For the past several years, we have primarily focused on research and development efforts for our technology.  In September 2007, we formed Sendio, s.r.o. (“Sendio”) in the Czech Republic as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of operating a pilot manufacturing facility.

We have one inactive subsidiary, Telisar Corporation, a California corporation of which we own 66.67%.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These consolidated unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  Operating results for the period ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results for future quarters or periods in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vu1 and all of our wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Translating Financial Statements

The functional currency of Sendio is the Czech Koruna (“CZK”).  The accounts of Sendio contained in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets have been translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing during the periods presented. Translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit). The accounts of Sendio in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations have been translated using the average exchange rates for the periods presented.

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4

 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash is comprised of deposits with a bank. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, we consider all investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had cash of $0 and $46,170, respectively, in excess of federally insured limits.

Equipment

Equipment is comprised primarily of equipment used in the testing and development of the manufacturing process of our light bulbs and is stated at cost. We provide for depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three to fifteen years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains or losses on the sale of equipment are reflected in the statements of operations.

Construction in process

Construction in process is comprised of assets to be used in our operations in the Czech Republic not in service as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  These assets, when placed in service will be reclassified to Equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Income Taxes

We recognize the amount of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement amounts of certain assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is required when it is less likely than not that we will be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets.

FASB ASC 740-10-25 clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions and requires that an entity recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position.  Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, payables and accrued liabilities, derivative financial instruments, loans payable and convertible debt. The fair value of our cash, receivables, payables and accrued liabilities and loans payable are carried at historical cost; their respective estimated fair values approximate their carrying values.

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in ASC 815 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the conversion feature in our convertible promissory notes is not afforded equity classification because it embodies risks not clearly and closely related to the host contract. As required by ASC 815-10, these features are required to be bifurcated and carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements.

5

We carry our long term convertible debt at historical cost. The fair value of our convertible debt in its hybrid form is determined, for disclosure purposes only, based upon its forward cash flows, at credit risk adjusted rates, plus the fair value of the conversion feature. As of March 31, 2010, the fair value of our face value $3,679,811 convertible debt amounted to approximately $5,536,000.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Significant fair value measurements resulted from the application of ASC 815 to our convertible promissory note and warrant financing arrangements and ASC 718-10 for our share-based payment arrangements.

Non-Controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest represents the equity of the 33.3% non-controlling shareholders of Telisar Corporation.  The subsidiary had no operations for all periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) delivery has occurred and no significant obligations remain, (c) the fee is fixed or determinable and (d) collection is determined to be probable.   We have not recognized any revenues in the accompanying financial statements.

Research and Development Costs

For financial reporting purposes, all costs of research and development activities performed internally or on a contract basis are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, research and development expenses were comprised primarily of salary, rent, technical consulting expenses, supplies and travel, and other costs of the research related operations in the Czech Republic through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sendio.

Share-Based Payments

We account for share-based compensation expense to reflect the fair value of share-based awards measured at the grant date.  This expense is recognized over the requisite service period and is adjusted each period for anticipated forfeitures. We estimate the fair value of each share-based award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consists of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, excluding unvested stock. Diluted income per share is calculated to give effect to potentially issuable dilutive common shares The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic and diluted income per share:

6

	For the Three Months
	Ended March 31,
	2010		2009
Net income (loss)	$	62,780	$	(1,689,129	)
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding		86,080,621		85,501,142
Effect of dilutive securities:
Options		654,450		-
Unvested Stock		71,625		-
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding		86,806,696		85,501,142
Basic income (loss) per share	$	0.00	$	(0.02	)
Diluted income (loss) per share	$	0.00	$	(0.02	)

The following potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for all periods presented because the effect is anti-dilutive:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2010		2009
Warrants		11,461,888		6,862,124
Convertible debt		9,199,526		-
Stock options		2,346,875		5,721,875
Unvested stock		-		290,750
Total potentially dilutive securities		23,008,289		12,874,749

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN MATTERS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate our continuation as a going concern. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we had no revenues, incurred a net loss from operations of $0.9 million, and had negative cash flows from operations of $0.9 million. In addition, we had an accumulated deficit of $65.8 million at March 31, 2010.

These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Recovery of our assets is dependent upon future events, the outcome of which is indeterminable. Our attainment of profitable operations is dependent upon our obtaining adequate debt or equity financing, developing products for commercial sale, and achieving a level of sales adequate to support our cost structure. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.

Our efforts to raise additional funds will continue during fiscal 2010 to fund our planned operations and research and development activities, through one or more debt or equity financings.  We have engaged an investment banker to assist us in our fundraising efforts. Unless we obtain sufficient additional financing, we expect that we will need to continue to continue to curtail or even cease operations indefinitely, or at least until we can obtain sufficient financing.  Even if we are able to raise sufficient additional capital to continue our operations, we expect to continue to seek additional financing through the remainder of fiscal 2010. See additional information in Note 12.

NOTE 4 – TAX REFUND RECEIVABLE 

Tax refund receivable represents the 19% value added tax receivable from the government of the Czech Republic.  No allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided as we believe the amounts are fully collectible.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Sendio Facility Operating Lease and Purchase Agreement

On December 2, 2009 Sendio executed a lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) for its existing office and manufacturing facilities in the Czech Republic. The Lease Agreement commenced on December 1, 2009 and specifies annual rent of CZK 13,365,000 plus applicable VAT taxes (CZK 1,113,750 per month), less amounts paid by existing tenants in the building.  The present rent is CZK 719,556 per month after offset of the amounts paid by existing tenants and will increase should the existing tenants vacate the premises by the amount paid by the vacating tenant.  The Lease Agreement expires on June 30, 2011. Sendio is responsible for utilities, maintenance and certain other costs as defined in the lease.

Effective December 9, 2008 and amended March 3, 2009, Sendio entered into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to purchase the facilities in the Lease from the landlord. The purchase price for the Premises is CZK 179,000,000 (approximately $9.0 million USD) (the “Purchase Price”).

Also effective December 9, 2008, as additional inducement for the landlord to enter into the Purchase Agreement, Vu1 entered into a Deed of Guarantee with the landlord under which it guaranteed up to CZK 13,500,000 of  the CZK 175,000,000 aggregate payments by Sendio under the Purchase Agreement.  The guarantee expires upon full payment by Sendio of this amount.

On December 2, 2009 Sendio executed an amendment to the purchase agreement (“Amendment No. 2”) for the facilities.  Under Amendment No. 2, Sendio agreed to payments of the remaining purchase price of CZK 170,770,830 as follows:

· Payment of CZK 2,167,668 to the escrow account related to the purchase of the building.  This payment was made by Sendio.

· Payments totaling CZK 12,270,846 payable in 19 monthly installments beginning December 1, 2009 of CZK 645,834 through June 30, 2011 into the escrow account.  If any required installment is not made timely as defined in the agreement, the seller is entitled to claim a contractual fine of 60% per year on the past-due amount.  All required installments have been made by Sendio as of March 31, 2010.

· Payment of the remaining purchase price of CZK 156,332,316 into the escrow account on or prior to June 30, 2011.  If any required installment is not made timely as defined in the agreement, the seller is entitled to claim a contractual fine of 36% per year on the past-due amount.

Sendio has deposited an aggregate of $771,225 (CZK 13,626,008) through March 31, 2009 into an escrow account.  This amount has been recorded as Deposit on building purchase in the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2010.

Under the Amendment No. 2, the seller specifically waived any claims for contractual penalties, damages or other costs arising out of any defaults by Sendio under the purchase agreement occurring prior to November 30, 2009.  However, in the event of future breaches or claims under the purchase agreement by Sendio, Amendment No. 2 provides that the seller may be able to claim contractual penalties of CZK 17,500,000 for defaults prior to June 30, 2009.

Amendment No. 2 also specifies that the seller has the right to withdraw from the purchase agreement and impose contractual fines in the aggregate amount of up to CZK 26,000,000 (which amount includes the CZK17,500,000 for defaults prior to June 30, 2009 described above) in the event that Sendio does not make any installment payment timely.  The seller has the right to collect these from amounts deposited in escrow.

Other Lease Agreement

We lease our current office space in Seattle, Washington on a month to month basis for monthly rent of $1,530.

Total rent expense was $120,925 and $68,781 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

On February 18, 2010 we entered into a Financial Advisory and Investment Banking Services Agreement to assist us with our fundraising efforts.  We paid $20,000 as an advisory fee at the inception of the agreement.  In addition, the agreement specifies compensation for the placement of equity securities of 8% of any gross proceeds plus warrants equal to 8% of common shares issued or issuable in any financing from investors identified by the investment banker.  In addition, if the investment banker moves to conduct a syndicated offering with other brokers, an additional 2% of gross proceeds for a management fee and 3% of gross proceeds will be due for a non accountable expense allowance plus warrants equal to 5% of common shares issued or issuable in such financing.

The agreement also specifies compensation of 6% of gross proceeds with 6% warrant coverage for any mezzanine debt financing and 1.5% of gross proceeds for senior debt with no warrant coverage. The agreement terminates on June 30, 2010 unless terminated earlier as specified under the agreement. Under certain circumstances as specified in the agreement, a breakup fee of $30,000 may be due upon cancellation of the agreement.  The obligation for payment of fees and warrants as specified above survives for one year subsequent to the termination of the agreement for any amounts raised from investors identified and contacted by the investment banker.  No amounts are presently due under this agreement.

On March 10, 2010 we entered into an Investment Banking Agreement to assist us with our fundraising efforts.  The term of the agreement is for three months and specifies compensation of 7% of any gross proceeds plus warrants equal to 7% of the number of common shares issued or issuable upon conversion in any financing transaction from investors identified by the investment banker.  The agreement is exclusive with respect to institutional investors.  In addition, the investment banker has a right of first refusal under certain circumstances for a period of 18 months following the termination of the agreement under certain circumstances as defined in the agreement.  The obligation for payment of these fees and warrants survives for one year subsequent to the termination of the agreement for any amounts raised from investors identified and contacted by the investment banker.  No amounts are presently due under this agreement.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On June 8, 2009, Vu1 issued a Secured Convertible Grid Promissory Note to Full Spectrum Capital LLC (“Full Spectrum”), as amended August 31, 2009 and amended and restated November 19, 2009. Full Spectrum is an entity that is managed and 45% owned by R. Gale Sellers, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our board of directors. On November 19, 2009 we entered into a new Secured Convertible Grid Promissory Note with SAM Special Opportunity Fund, LP (“SAM”) (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes provide that Full Spectrum and SAM may make one or more loans to Vu1, at such times and in such amounts as determined by Full Spectrum or SAM in its sole discretion, but not to exceed $7 million. Principal amounts under the Notes are presently convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at a price of $0.40 per share and are secured by all of our assets. The Note also provides that in conjunction with each advance under the Notes, we will issue three-year warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share equal to 50% of the shares into which each advance is convertible. The Notes bear interest at 18% payable in quarterly installments beginning February 1, 2010.  We have granted to both lenders a first priority security interest in our assets as collateral security for repayment of their Notes.  The Note is due on June 30, 2011.

Full Spectrum and SAM have advanced loans for a total of $3 million and as such we have agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for all of the shares of common stock issuable under the Note upon conversion and upon exercise of the warrants.

The holders of the Notes retain out of each advance made to us an amount equal to one interest payment (three months’ accrued interest) (the “Interest Prepayment”), to be applied either to the final quarterly payment of interest due under the Notes, or as payment of accrued and unpaid interest upon an event of default or prepayment of the Notes. The amount retained as interest was treated as a component of the face value of the Notes and as prepaid interest, subject to amortization.Vu1 may prepay the Notes at any time, but any such prepayment must include payment of an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on such prepaid principal amount from the prepayment date through the maturity date of the Note but that has not yet been paid to or retained.

The Notes contain a down round provision that enables the Note holders to convert to our common stock at the lesser of $0.40 per share or the per share price of any future convertible debt or equity offering approved by the Board of Directors.  The down round provision requires bifurcation of the embedded conversion options and classification in derivative liabilities at fair value because they are no longer considered indexed to the Company’s common stock. We will continue to carry the derivative liabilities at fair value, with charges or credits to income for changes in fair value, until the Notes are settled through payment or conversion. The terms of the Notes provided for capitalization of three month’s interest which was treated as component of the face value of the Notes and a prepaid interest, subject to amortization.

Information and significant assumptions embodied in our valuations (including equivalent amounts across ranges of simulations resulting from the calculations) of the derivative instrument for the issuances for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are shown in the following table:

Trading market price	$0.46-$0.59
Expected life (years)	1.12 - 1.25
Equivalent volatility	101.9% - 109.4%
Risk adjusted yield	8.37% - 9.67%
Risk adjusted interest rate	15.1%-15.7%

10

The Warrants issued in conjunction with the Notes have strike prices of $0.75 and terms of three years from the issuance date. Warrants achieved equity classification because they met all of the requisite criteria and conditions therefore. However, the initial accounting for the Notes requires allocation of proceeds among the Notes and the warrants based upon relative fair values. The estimated fair value of the Warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Trading market price	$0.46-$0.59
Expected dividend	—
Expected life in years	3.0
Volatility	109.1%-121.4%
Risk free rate	1.4%-1.7%

The following table shows, as of March 31, 2010, (i) the net amount of cash received on advances made by Full Spectrum and SAM under their respective Notes, (ii) the outstanding principal amount of each note, (iii) the total number of shares of common stock into which the Notes are convertible (assuming a conversion rate of $0.40 per share) and (iv) the total number of warrants issued to Full Spectrum and SAM.  For each cash advance made under either note, the lender retains the Interest Prepayment, to be applied by the lender to the final quarterly payment of interest due under the note, or as payment of accrued and unpaid interest upon an event of default or prepayment of the note; accordingly, the outstanding principal amount for each note is calculated as the sum of the total amount of cash advances, plus the Interest Prepayments and retained expenses.

	Advances		Total Principal		Conversion Shares		Warrants
Full Spectrum	$	1,998,467	$	2,092,636		5,231,589		2,615,795

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative financial instruments represent the embedded conversion features in our Notes that required bifurcation from the host debt agreements. Derivative financial instruments are classified as liabilities and carried at fair value, with changes reflected in the statement of operations. The following table summarizes the components of changes in our derivative financial instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and for December 31, 2009:

	Three Months ended March 31, 2010			Year Ended December 31, 2009
Beginning balances	$	2,853,011		$	—
Issuances and modification
Derivatives recognized upon issuance		488,071			2,034,576
Derivatives recognized upon modification of Notes		-			529,031
Unrealized fair value changes, included in income		(1,137,792	)		289,404
Ending balances	$	2,203,290		$	2,853,011

We value our derivative financial instruments using a Monte Carlo Simulation Technique (“MCST”). The MCST was selected because this technique embodies all of the types of inputs that we expect market participants would consider in determining the fair value of equity linked derivatives embedded in hybrid debt agreements. Those inputs include equity-related inputs, as well as credit risks, interest risks and redemption behaviors. The following tables summarize the significant inputs and equivalent amounts across ranges of simulations resulting from the calculations:

11

	March 31, 2010			December 31, 2009
Trading market price		0.52			0.65
Expected life (years)		1.095- 1.13			1.23-1.25
Equivalent volatility		103.68	%		122.19	%
Risk adjusted yield		8.37	%		9.67	%
Risk adjusted interest rate		15.73	%		16.67	%

NOTE 8 – SHORT TERM LOAN PAYABLE

On November 3, 2009 we issued a 10% note payable to an investor for cash in the amount of GBP 70,000 (approximately $115,000) secured by certain assets of Sendio.  The note and accrued interest is due on May 31, 2010.

NOTE 9 – LOAN PAYABLE

On May 15, 2008 Sendio entered into a three-year note payable for the purchase of a vehicle.  The note bears interest at a rate of 24.5% and is payable in 36 equal monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $575 plus mandatory VAT and insurance.  The note is secured by the vehicle.

NOTE 10 – CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATION

On May 30, 2008 Sendio entered into a five-year lease agreement for the purchase of certain equipment.  The capital lease obligation bears interest at a rate of 7.7% and requires payments of principal and interest of approximately $630 plus mandatory VAT and insurance over the 60-month term of the leases. The assets acquired under the capital lease obligation are being depreciated over the five-year term of the lease.

NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation allows us to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock without further stockholder approval and upon such terms and conditions, and having such rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine.  No preferred shares are currently issued and outstanding.

Stock and Stock Options issued pursuant to the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan

There were no awards of common stock or stock options and no awards were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 we recognized $23,102 and $92,300, respectively, as share-based compensation related to the vesting of previously outstanding grants of stock and stock options.

As of March 31, 2010, there are 20,000 unvested stock options of which we anticipate $12,406 of unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized ratably through the vesting date of May 31, 2010.  In addition, there are 71,625 shares of unvested restricted stock issued in 2007 of which we anticipate $11,981 of unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized ratably through the vesting date of November 30, 2010.

Warrants

As discussed in Note 6, during the three months ended March 31, 2010 we issued three year warrants to purchase 476,401 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share to Full Spectrum, which is managed by R. Gale Sellers, a director and our Chief Executive Officer.  In addition we issued three year warrants to purchase 444,374 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share to SAM.  These warrants were issued pursuant to advances made under their respective Notes.

12

On March 17, 2009 we issued a three-year warrant to a vendor to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share based on the closing market price as of that date.  A total of 75,000 shares vest over the one year life of the agreement, with the remaining shares vesting upon the achievement of certain performance milestones.  The performance milestones were not achieved during the three months ended March 31, 2010. A total of $6,722 was recognized as an expense relating to the vested portion of the warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  A summary of our outstanding warrants follows:

				Weighted-Average
Exercise		Warrants		Remaining Contractual		Number
Price		Outstanding		Life (Years)		Exercisable
$	0.60		6,637,124		0.5		6,637,124
$	0.75		4,749,764		2.6		4,674,764
$	1.00		25,000		0.8		25,000
$	1.15		50,000		0.6		50,000
			11,461,888		1.4		11,386,888

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We have evaluated all subsequent events through May 17, 2010 the date the three-month period ending March 31, 2010 financial statements were issued.

Subsequent to March 31, 2010, Full Spectrum and SAM advanced additional amounts under their note as discussed in Note 6 through May 17, 2010 as follows:

	Advances		Total Principal		Conversion Shares		Warrants
Full Spectrum	$	460,000	$	481,675		1,204,188		602,094
SAM		95,500		100,000		250,000		125,000
	$	555,500	$	581,675		1,454,188		727,094

Total amounts outstanding at May 17, 2010 are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

We are focused on developing, manufacturing and selling a line of mercury free, energy efficient light bulbs based on our proprietary light-emitting technology.  For the past several years, we have primarily focused our efforts on research and development efforts for our ESL technology. In 2007 we formed Sendio s.r.o. (“Sendio”) in the Czech Republic as a wholly owned subsidiary for continued development of the bulb, and to design the manufacturing processes required for commercialization and manufacturing.  During 2010, we have continued our development work on the technology to refine the prototype with the miniaturization of the electronics and improvements to the efficiency of the bulb and the design and implementation of the processes required to manufacture the bulb. Our efforts are presently focused on our initial planned product, the R30 sized light bulb. We anticipate that the development efforts will continue in 2010. The commercial viability of our ESL™ technology will largely depend on these development results, our ability to manufacture our product at commercially feasible levels, market acceptance of the product and other factors. During fiscal 2010, we had no commercial products and no revenues.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a “going concern” statement in its report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, stating that we had a net loss and negative cash flows from operations in fiscal 2009, and that we have an accumulated deficit.  Accordingly, those conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this going-concern uncertainty.

Our cash as of March 31, 2010 is not sufficient to support our operations through fiscal 2010 and it will be necessary for us to seek additional financing.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Plan of Operations

Our efforts are presently focused on our initial planned product, the R30 sized light bulb. We anticipate that the development efforts will continue in 2010 to support initial production for evaluation that is planned to begin in the third quarter of 2010. The commercial viability of our ESL™ technology will largely depend on these development results, our ability to manufacture our product at commercially feasible levels, market acceptance of the product and other factors. During fiscal 2009, we had no commercial products and no revenues.  We expect to continue to make significant expenditures developing our planned product, obtaining product certification and the related manufacturing processes in fiscal 2010. Our future success and operating results will depend in large part on the results of these efforts.

We will need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings in 2010 to support our operations. We have entered into an agreement to purchase the facility presently leased by Sendio in the Czech Republic.  We are using this facility to develop our ESL technology and manufacturing processes.  We will need additional funding to complete the purchase of this building.

Our anticipated expenditures related to our operations in fiscal 2010 will primarily depend on personnel costs and additional equipment needs for continued development of our light bulb and the manufacturing processes.  In addition, we anticipate we will incur substantial costs related to the planned production in third quarter of 2010 related to purchases of raw materials and supplies, marketing, sales and distribution related costs, and increased administrative costs. An overall estimate of our capital expenditures is primarily dependent upon the success of our development and manufacturing results for our prototype, and as such cannot presently be estimated.  Any additional capital expenditures will be dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing.

Sendio had 39 engineering, technical and administrative employees at March 31, 2010 and the US Operations had a single employee.

Any employees added for either Sendio or in the US operations will be determined primarily by our ability to successfully develop the technology and our available funding to hire employees.

14

Our anticipated costs in fiscal 2010 for the completion of our light bulb cannot be reasonably estimated due to the inherent uncertainty of the research and feasibility of the manufacturing processes. No additional projects are planned, but there can be no assurances that changes to this plan will not occur.  There can be no assurances that this development process will be successful or, if successful, that the technology will find a market and achieve sales that can sustain our operations without additional funding.

Our office space in Seattle, WA is presently leased on a month to month basis.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

Revenues

We had no revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Research and Development Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we were involved in a single project to develop and commercialize our proprietary technology.  For the comparable quarters, research and development expenses were comprised primarily of salary, rent, technical consulting expenses, supplies and travel, and other costs of the research related operations in the Czech Republic through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sendio. Research and development expenses decreased approximately $317,000 to $519,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $836,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.   The decrease is related to a decrease in salaries and attendant costs and consulting fees related to the curtailing of our operations. This is partially offset by the increase in rent for our Sendio facility.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 consisted of salaries and attendant costs, share based compensation expenses, professional and legal fees, consulting expenses, insurance, travel and general corporate related overhead and office expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $448,000 to $301,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $750,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  This decrease was due primarily to decreases in salaries and consulting fees related to the curtailing of our operations.

Marketing Expenses

Marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were comprised of salaries, consulting fees, market and branding research and office related expenses. Marketing expenses decreased by approximately $36,000 to $69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $105,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  This decrease was due primarily to decreases in consulting fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was comprised of interest income, other income, interest expense and derivative valuation gain.  Interest income was $0 compared to $2,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease is due to lower average cash balances. Other income of $37,000 is a recovery of unclaimed property for which no prior year comparable amount exists.  Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased $222,000 to $223,000 and relates to the accrued interest and amortization of discount on the Notes, Sendio’s loan and capital lease obligations as discussed in Notes 6, 9 and 10. Included in interest expense is discount and prepaid amortization of $67,000 and amortization of loan costs of $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 related to the Notes.  Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $1,000 was related to Sendio’s loan and capitalized lease obligations.

15

Derivative valuation gain amounted to $1,137,792 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 (none for the three months ended March 31, 2009). Derivative valuation gain results from embedded derivative financial instruments that are required to be measured at fair value.

The changes in the fair value of our derivatives are significantly influenced by changes in our trading stock price and changes in interest rates in the public markets. Further, certain elements of the fair value techniques require us to make estimates about the outcome of certain events, such as defaults. We value our derivative financial instruments using a Monte Carlo Simulation Technique (“MCST”). The MCST was selected because this technique embodies all of the types of inputs that we expect market participants would consider in determining the fair value of equity link derivatives embedded in hybrid debt agreements. Those inputs include equity-related inputs, as well as credit risks, interest risks and redemption behaviors. Changes in these inputs will affect the carrying value of our derivative liabilities and therefore the amount of derivative valuation gain (loss) that we are required to record.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash was approximately $93,000 as of March 31, 2010 and is not sufficient to support our reduced levels of operations.  In April and May, 2010 Full Spectrum and SAM advanced an additional $555,500 under their respective Notes. These are described more fully in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

We anticipate that with our remaining cash and the loan proceeds described above, we will be able to fund our curtailed operations into June, 2010. We have engaged two investment bankers to assist us with our fundraising efforts as discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, but we have not yet been successful in obtaining additional financing.

We expect to continue to seek additional financing in 2010 to fund our planned operations and research and development and manufacturing activities, through one or more debt or equity financings.  Our efforts to raise sufficient capital may not be successful, and even if we are able to obtain additional financing, the terms of any such financing may be unfavorable to us and may be highly dilutive to existing stockholders. There can be no assurances that further cash advances under the Notes, when and if made, will be sufficient to sustain our required levels of operations.

If necessary, we may explore strategic alternatives, which may include a merger, asset sale, joint venture or another comparable transaction.  If we are unable to obtain sufficient cash to continue to fund operations or if we are unable to locate a strategic partner, we may be forced to seek protection from creditors under the bankruptcy laws or cease operations.  Any inability to obtain additional cash as needed would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and our ability to continue in existence.  Our auditors added an explanatory paragraph to their opinion on our fiscal 2009 financial statements stating that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

All of our assets are currently held as collateral to secure repayment of the promissory notes payable to Full Spectrum and SAM.  (See Note 6 and 12 to our consolidated financial statements).  In the event that we cease operations or are otherwise unable to repay the Notes as they becomes due, Full Spectrum and SAM will have full rights as secured creditors with respect to our assets, including the right to take control of our assets, sell the assets at a public or private sale, or take any other action permitted by applicable law.

If we cease operations or file for protection under the bankruptcy laws, any cash and assets we have would be used first to satisfy claims of creditors and to discharge liabilities.  We cannot predict whether our stockholders would receive any return on their shares.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer.  Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at March 31, 2010.

16

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information

required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
