Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being voluntarily filed early by Irvine Sensors Corporation (the “Company”) to report the following unregistered sales of equity securities:

On various dates between March 22 and March 28, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 663,579 shares of common stock to an accredited institutional investor upon such investor’s conversion of an aggregate of $199,073.70 of the stated value of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

On March 24, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 20,338 shares of common stock to seven accredited investors pursuant to its election to convert the payment of interest accrued as of such date on those certain convertible and non-convertible interest-bearing debentures issued by the Company to such investors on March 24, 2010.

The sales and issuances described in this Current Report on Form 8-K have been determined to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The investors have represented that they are accredited investors, as that term is defined in Regulation D, and have acquired the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.
