BALQON CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company

Balqon Corporation, a California corporation, was incorporated on April 21, 2005 and commenced business operations in 2006. On October 24, 2008, Balqon California completed a merger with BMR Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“BMR”), with BMR being the survivor of the merger. Upon the closing, BMR changed its name to Balqon Corporation (the “Company”). The Company develops and manufactures complete drive systems and battery systems for electric vehicles, industrial equipment and renewable energy storage devices. The Company also designs and assembles electric powered yard tractors, short haul drayage tractors and inner city Class 7 and 8 delivery trucks utilizing its proprietary drive system technologies.

Basis of Presentation of Unaudited Financial Information

The unaudited financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K for scaled disclosures for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2010 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2011. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Material estimates relate to the recognition of contract revenues and estimated costs to complete, recoverability of reported amounts of long-lived assets, and assumptions made in valuing derivative instruments and equity instruments issued for compensation. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Revenues

Sales of Production Units and Parts

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of completed production units and parts when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred and title has passed, the selling price is both fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured, all of which generally occurs upon shipment of the Company’s product or delivery of the product to the destination specified by the customer.

The Company determines whether delivery has occurred based on when title transfers and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, which usually occurs when the Company places the products with the buyer’s carrier. The Company regularly reviews its customers’ financial positions to ensure that collectability is reasonably assured. Except for warranties, the Company has no post-sales obligations.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenues (continued)

Contract Revenue and Cost Recognition on Prototype Vehicles

The Company recognizes revenues using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting by relating contract costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion. This method is used because management considers costs to be the best available measure of progress on its contracts. Contract losses are provided for in their entirety in the period that they become known, without regard to the percentage-of-completion. The Company also recognizes as revenues costs associated with claims and unapproved change orders to the extent it is probable that such claims and change orders will result in additional contract revenue, and the amount of such additional revenue can be reliably estimated.

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs. The asset “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” represents costs incurred in excess of revenues billed. The liability “billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in excess of revenues earned.

Inventories

Inventories consist mainly of raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally on a first-in-first-out average cost basis. Recorded inventories at March 31, 2011 do not include approximately $2.6 million of batteries and other items held on consignment from Seven One Battery Company.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Management performs impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate impairment has more likely than not occurred. Also, management performs impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually.

The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization at least annually to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, the Company writes down the carrying value of the intangible asset to its fair value in the period identified. If the carrying value of assets is determined not to be recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the assets. The Company’s estimate of fair value is based on the best information available, in the absence of quoted market prices. The Company generally calculates fair value as the present value of estimated future cash flows that the Company expects to generate from the asset using a discounted cash flow income approach as described above. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the Company amortizes the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Based upon management’s assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of the Company’s goodwill or intangible assets at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and issuable during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and all common equivalent shares outstanding during the period in which they are dilutive. Common equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants or other convertible securities such as convertible notes. As of March 31, 2011, common stock equivalents were comprised of options exercisable into 2,833,390 shares of the Company’s common stock, warrants exercisable into 15,680,815 shares of the Company’s common stock and notes payable convertible into 3,900,758 shares of the Company’s common stock. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, common stock equivalent shares have been excluded from the calculation of loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its investments and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized by the level of objectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.

Authoritative guidance provided by the FASB defines the following levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these financial assets:

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that is observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3

Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.

The following table presents certain investments and liabilities of the Company’s financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s condensed balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2011.

		Level 1				Level 2			Level 3				Total
Fair value of Derivative Liability	$	—			$	—			$	1,519,079			$	1,519,079

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Monte Carlo option pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Concentrations

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and unsecured accounts receivable.

The Company maintains cash balances at one bank. At times, the amount on deposit exceeds the federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institution that holds the Company’s cash is financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, 42% of total revenues were from one customer. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, 92% of total revenues were from one customer. At March 31, 2011, 58% of accounts receivable were from one customer while 39% of accounts receivable were from another customer.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, 90% of costs of revenue were to one vendor. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, 93% of costs of revenue were to one vendor.

At March 31, 2011, accounts payable to the largest vendor represented 12% of accounts payable. Accounts payable to other two largest vendors represented 10% and 9%, respectively, of accounts payable at March 31, 2011. At December 31, 2010, accounts payable to the largest vendor represented 42% of accounts payable balances. Accounts payable to other two largest vendors represented 32% and 8%, respectively, of total accounts payable as of December 31, 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

NOTE 2 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consist of the following:

NOTE 4 – LOAN PAYABLE – BRIDGE BANK

On February 25, 2009, the Company executed a Business Financing Agreement, dated February 18, 2009, with Bridge Bank, National Association (the “Lender”) (the “Initial Agreement”). The Initial Agreement has been amended by Business Financing Modification Agreements dated effective February 26, 2009 and August 4, 2009, respectively (the “Modification Agreements,” and together with the Initial Agreement the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides the Company with an accounts receivable based credit facility in the aggregate amount of up to $2,000,000 (the “Credit Facility”). At March 31, 2011, there was no balance outstanding and $66,475 was available under the terms of the Credit Facility. At December 31, 2010, no amounts were outstanding and $1,526 was available under the terms of the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility is formula-based and generally provides that the outstanding borrowings may not exceed an aggregate of 80% of eligible accounts receivable. The Company must immediately pay any advance made under the Credit Facility within 90 days of the earlier of (i) the invoice date of the receivable that substantiated the advance or (ii) the date on which the advance was made. The Credit Facility is secured by a continuing first priority security interest in all the Company’s personal property (subject to customary exceptions). Interest on the Credit Facility is payable monthly, at the per annum prime rate as published by the Lender plus two percentage points, subject to a minimum rate of 6.0% per annum (6% at March 31, 2011). The Credit Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party to the Credit Agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, $68,500 in principal amount of these notes was converted to 68,500 shares of the company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2011, $916,500 in principal was outstanding under these notes.

The Company determined that the relative fair value of the warrants upon issuance was $639,061. The relative fair value was determined using the methodology prescribed by current accounting guidance. The Company determined the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature was approximately $360,939. These amounts were calculated under a Black-Scholes option pricing model using as assumptions an expected life of 3 years, an industry volatility of 54.39%, a risk free interest rate of 1.15%, and no expected dividend yield. The relative value of the warrants of $639,061 and the beneficial conversion feature of $360,939 was recorded by the Company as a loan discount of $1,000,000, which the Company is amortizing to interest expense over the life of the notes. As of March 31, 2011, the unamortized balance of the note discount was $322,101.

(2) Between February 5, 2010 and April 12, 2010, the Company entered into agreements with seven accredited investors for the sale by the Company of an aggregate of $1,500,000 of 10% Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes which are convertible into an aggregate of 1,999,993 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. Additionally, the Company issued three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,999,993 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. In connection with the offering, the Company issued three year warrants to purchase 15,999 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share to two accredited investors in consideration of finder services rendered. The conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrants are only subject to adjustment based on stock splits, stock dividends, spin-offs, rights offerings, or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, $153,750 of the principal of the notes was converted into 204,998 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2011, $1,330,000 in principal was outstanding under these notes.

The Company determined that the relative fair value of the warrants upon issuance was $731,710. The relative fair value was determined using the methodology prescribed by current accounting guidance. The Company determined the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature was approximately $768,290. These amounts were calculated under a Black-Scholes option pricing model using as assumptions an expected life of 3 years, an industry volatility of between 95% and 116%, a risk free interest rate of 1.47%, and no expected dividend yield. The relative value of the warrants of $731,710 and the beneficial conversion feature of $768,290 was recorded by the Company as a loan discount of $1,500,000, which the Company is amortizing to interest expense over the life of the notes. As of March 31, 2011, the unamortized balance of the note discount was $769,909.

(3) Between July 2010 and December 2010, the Company entered into agreements with 26 accredited investors for the sale by the Company of an aggregate of $850,000 of 10% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) which are convertible into an aggregate of 1,133,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment. In connection with this offering, the Company also issued to the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company also issued to its placement agent warrants to purchase 68,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at exercise price of $0.75 per share, subject to the same adjustments and terms as those warrants issued to investors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, $75,000 of the principal of the notes was converted into 117,186 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2011, $775,000 in principal was outstanding under these notes. Under the adjustment provisions of the senior secured convertible debentures and warrants, the conversion price of the senior secured convertible debentures and the exercise price of the warrants were reduced to $0.64 in connection with a private placement of our common stock and warrants in December 2010.

The Debentures are due on September 30, 2012, or at the Company’s sole discretion, on March 31, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”) or such date as this Debenture is required or permitted to be repaid as provided in the agreement. The Debentures are secured under the terms of a security agreement granting the holders of the Debentures a security interest in all of the Company’s personal property.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES (continued)

Each of the agreements governing the Debentures and warrants includes an anti-dilution provision that allows for the automatic reset of the conversion or exercise price upon any future sale of common stock instruments at or below the current exercise price. The Company considered the current FASB guidance of “Determining Whether an Instrument Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” which indicates that any adjustment to the fixed amount (either conversion price or number of shares) of the instrument regardless of the probability or whether or not within the issuers’ control, means the instrument is not indexed to the issuers own stock. Accordingly, the Company determined that the conversion price of the Debentures and the exercise price of the warrants are not a fixed amount because they are subject to fluctuation based on the occurrence of future offerings or events. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features and the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of these warrants as derivative liabilities upon issuance.

The Company determined the aggregate fair value of the warrants issued to investors and its placement agent to be $511,399 and the initial fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of the Debentures to be $504,440 (an aggregate amount of $1,015,839). These amounts were determined by management with the use of an independent valuation specialist using a Monte Carlo simulation model. In accordance with current accounting guidelines, the excess of $165,839 of derivative liability created over the face amount of the note was considered to be a cost of the private placement. In addition, the Company also incurred another $193,500 of closing costs (consisting of $93,500 of placement agent fees and $100,000 of legal fees directly related to the offering). As such, the Company recorded an $850,000 valuation discount upon issuance, and in 2010, recognized private placement costs of $358,339 for financial reporting purposes. The aggregate fair value of the derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2011 was $1,519,079 (see Note 6).

As of March 31, 2011, the Company has amortized $217,590 of the valuation discount, and the remaining unamortized valuation discount of $557,410 as of March 31, 2011 has been offset against the face amount of the notes for financial statement purposes.

As of March 31, 2011, the total discount of $1,649,579 is offset against the balance of the convertible notes for financial statement presentation. During the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011, amortization of loan discount was $511,739.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

In June 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. Under the authoritative guidance, effective January 1, 2009, instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. The conversion feature of the Company’s Debentures (described in Note 5), and the related warrants, do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion and exercise prices, respectively, may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future. The Company was required to include the reset provisions in order to protect the holders of the Debentures from the potential dilution associated with future financings. In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the conversion feature of the Debentures was separated from the host contract (i.e., the Debentures) and recognized as a derivative instrument. Both the conversion feature of the Debentures and the related warrants have been characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (continued)

The derivative liabilities were valued using Monte Carlo valuation techniques with the following assumptions:

	March 31, 2011		December 31, 2010
Conversion feature:
Risk-free interest rate		.55%		1.75%
Expected volatility		90.00%		90%
Expected life (in years)	1.5 years		1.75 years
Expected dividend yield		0		0
Warrants: Risk-free interest rate		2.00%		1.76%
Expected volatility		100.00%		95%
Expected life (in years)	4.5 years		4.75 years
Expected dividend yield		0		0

Fair Value:
Conversion feature		751,992		464,844
Warrants		767,087		491,130
	$	1,519,079	$	955,974

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the volatility of five comparable guideline companies to estimate volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the conversion feature of the notes was based on the term of the notes and the expected life of the warrants was determined by the expiration date of the warrants. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future.

As of March 31, 2011, the aggregate derivative liability of the conversion feature and the warrants was $1,519,079. For the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $563,105.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

At March 31, 2011, the Company had available Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future taxable income. The amounts available were approximately $15,500,000 for federal and for state purposes. The Federal carryforward expires in 2028 and the state carryforward expires in 2018. Given the Company’s history of net operating losses, management has determined that it is more likely than not the Company will be able to realize the tax benefit of the carryforwards.

Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a deferred tax asset for this benefit. Upon the attainment of taxable income by the Company, management will assess the likelihood of realizing the tax benefit associated with the use of the carryforwards and will recognize a deferred tax asset at that time.

Current standards require that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Increase in the valuation allowance		39.8	%		39.8	%
Effective tax rate		—	%		—	%

The Company adopted authoritative guidance which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under the current accounting guidelines, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Current accounting guidelines also provide guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and require increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

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 our financial statements and the related notes to financial statements included elsewhere in this report. This report and our financial statements and notes to financial statements contain forward-looking statements, which generally include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to our future economic performance and our current beliefs regarding revenues we might generate and profits we might earn if we are successful in implementing our business strategies. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements as a result of any number of factors, including those set forth under the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report. The forward-looking statements and associated risks may include, relate to or be qualified by other important factors, including, without limitation:

the projected growth or contraction in the industries within which we operate;

our business strategy for expanding, maintaining or contracting our presence in these markets;

anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations; and

our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors.

We do not undertake to update, revise or correct any forward-looking statements.

Any of the factors described above, elsewhere in this report or in the “Risk Factors” section of this report could cause our financial results, including our net income or loss or growth in net income or loss to differ materially from prior results, which in turn could, among other things, cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.

Business Overview

We are a developer and manufacturer of complete drive systems and battery systems for electric vehicles, industrial equipment and renewable energy storage devices. We also design and assemble electric powered yard tractors, short haul drayage tractors and inner city Class 7 and 8 delivery trucks utilizing our proprietary drive system technologies.

We develop and manufacture electric drive systems and lithium battery modules for use in electric trucks, tractors, buses, industrial equipment and renewable energy storage devices. Each of our electric drive systems is comprised of an electric motor, transmission, our proprietary flux vector motor controller (which controls the speed of an electric motor by varying the input frequency and voltage from a vehicle’s batteries), power electronic components and proprietary software configured to specific application needs. Our lithium battery modules feature our proprietary battery management system, or BMS, an electronic device mounted on each lithium battery cell to monitor the state of charge of the battery, including its temperature, voltage and current during charge and discharge cycles. Our proprietary software allows our BMS to be used on any battery cell chemistry.

A key element of our strategy is to integrate our proprietary technologies such as our flux vector motor controllers and BMSs into diversified vehicle platforms to address a growing global demand for commercial electric vehicles. We are also engaged in the research and development of battery and power management systems for use in the renewable energy storage industries, such as the wind, solar and geothermal industries.

We sell our electric drive systems and lithium battery modules to global original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, of trucks, buses and industrial equipment that are engaged in the development of electric or hybrid vehicle platforms to address local market needs. Our sales strategy is to partner with OEMs to develop product solutions for specific market needs utilizing our complete propulsion and energy systems. We believe that this strategy will result in a reduction of the time and costs associated with product development and integration and will also reduce time to market cycles for our OEM partners’ new product platforms.

We have integrated one of our heavy-duty electric drive systems into a 45 foot, 25 ton Class A recreational vehicle manufactured by MVP RV, demonstrating the viability of our technology in the recreational vehicle market. This completed vehicle operates at speeds of 65 mph and has a demonstrated range of 250 miles on a single charge. Currently, the vehicle is undergoing road testing conducted by MVP RV, a potential international customer.

We also develop, design, assemble, market and sell zero-emissions heavy-duty electric yard tractors, short haul drayage tractors and inner city Class 7 and Class 8 delivery trucks that feature our proprietary electric drive systems and lithium battery modules. Our heavy-duty electric vehicles are suitable for use in the transportation of containers and heavy loads at facilities such as marine terminals, rail yards, industrial warehouses, intermodal facilities (facilities where freight is transferred from one mode of transportation to another without actual handling of the freight itself when changing modes), military bases and industrial plants.

As of the date of this report, our electric vehicle product portfolio features three products in our Nautilus product line, the Nautilus XE20, a heavy-duty electric yard tractor, the Nautilus XE30, a heavy-duty electric short-haul tractor, and the Nautilus XR E20, a longer-range version of the Nautilus XE 20. We also offer a heavy-duty Class 7 and Class 8 electric truck, the Mule M150, which is designed as a zero emissions solution to transport loads of up to 7 tons in short-haul on-highway applications.

Under an agreement with the City of Los Angeles, or City of Los Angeles Agreement, we agreed to sell 20 Nautilus E20 heavy-duty electric yard tractors (the predecessor to our Nautilus XE20) and five Nautilus E30 short-haul tractors (the predecessor to our Nautilus XE30) to the City of Los Angeles for use at the Port of Los Angeles. As of May 13, 2011, we have delivered 14 Nautilus E20s (including four Nautilus XE20s) and one Nautilus XE30, to the Port of Los Angeles under the terms of the City of Los Angeles Agreement.

Recent Developments

In November 2010, T&K Logistics, Inc., the provider of logistics services to Ford Motor Company and the manager of on-site transportation of trailers and containers at Ford Motor Company’s assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan, agreed to lease ten of our Nautilus XE20s yard tractors for use at Ford Motor Company’s assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan, for a period of 36 months, or Ford Lease. As of May 13, 2011, we have delivered three of our Nautilus XE20s and intend to deliver the remaining seven units by June 30, 2011. The three Nautilus XE20s we delivered featured battery modules with double the battery energy and, therefore, double the range of previous yard tractors we have produced.

In December 2010, we entered into a three year distribution agreement, or Distribution Agreement, with Seven One Limited under which we were appointed as the exclusive authorized distributor in the United States for the promotion, marketing and sale of lithium iron phosphate batteries and high voltage charging systems manufactured by Seven One Battery Company.

In January 2011, we entered into an agreement, or WGE Order, with Winston Global Energy, or WGE, an affiliate of our Chairman of the Board headquartered in Shenzhen China, under which WGE agreed to purchase 300 of our electric drive systems at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15.9 million. The electric drive systems are to be integrated into 14 to 30 passenger mini-buses and must be delivered by no later than July 25, 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we delivered electric drive systems and lithium battery modules to Ashok Leyland Ltd., a large manufacturer of trucks and buses based in India, to be installed into intercity hybrid buses to be used for demonstration purposes. The intercity hybrid buses incorporating our electric drive systems and lithium battery modules underwent field tests for eight months. As a result of the successful demonstration and testing of these intercity hybrid buses, in April 2011, we entered into a Joint Development Agreement with Ashok Leyland under which we will work with Ashok Leyland to jointly develop and test four electric vehicles (comprised of buses and trucks) using Ashok Leyland’s glider chassis and our electric drive systems and lithium battery modules.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Material estimates relate to the recognition of contract revenues and estimated costs to complete contracts in process, and recoverability of reported amounts of long-lived assets. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Revenues

Sales of Production Units and Parts. We recognize revenue from the sale of completed production units and parts when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery of the product has occurred and title has passed, the selling price is both fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured, all of which generally occurs upon shipment of our product or delivery of the product to the destination specified by the customer.

We determine whether delivery has occurred based on when title transfers and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, which usually occurs when we place the products with the buyer’s carrier. We regularly reviews our customers’ financial positions to ensure that collectability is reasonably assured. Except for warranties, we have no post-sales obligations.

Contract Revenue and Cost Recognition on Prototype Vehicles. In accounting for contracts, we recognize revenues using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting by relating contract costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion. This method is used because management considers costs to be the best available measure of progress on its contracts. Contract losses are provided for in their entirety in the period that they become known, without regard to the percentage-of-completion. We also recognize as revenues costs associated with claims and unapproved change orders to the extent it is probable that such claims and change orders will result in additional contract revenue, and the amount of such additional revenue can be reliably estimated.

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs. The liability “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in excess of revenues earned.

Stock-Based Compensation

We periodically issue stock instruments, including shares of our common stock, stock options, and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We account for stock option awards issued and vesting to employees in accordance with authorization guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, where the value of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Options to purchase shares of our common stock vest and expire according to the terms established at the grant date.

We account for stock options and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

We estimate the fair value of stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the underlying stock and the expected life of stock options. Projected data related to the expected volatility of stock options is based on the average volatility of the trading prices of comparable companies and the expected life of stock options is based upon the average term and vesting schedules of the options. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the estimate, and therefore the existing valuation models do not provide a precise measure of the fair value of our employee stock options.

We estimate the fair value of shares of common stock issued for services based on the closing price of our common stock on the date shares are granted.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we use the Monte Carlo option pricing models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The FASB, has established guidelines regarding when impairment losses on long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, should be recognized and how impairment losses should be measured. Guidance of the FASB also provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale. We periodically review, at least annually, such assets for possible impairment and expected losses. If any losses are determined to exist they are recorded in the period when such impairment is determined. Based upon management’s assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of our long lived assets at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our total revenues increased by $77,719, or 204%, to $115,786 for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $38,067 for first quarter of 2010. However, we reported a net loss of $2,533,525 for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to a net loss of $1,000,346 for the first quarter of 2010. The lack of sales during the first quarter of March 31, 2010 was a direct result of a lack in working capital during that period. The decline in our financial performance during the first quarter of 2011 is a result of increased operating and interest expenses, and the change in fair value of derivative instruments, without a commensurate increase in revenues.

The capital constraints that we experienced during 2010 were significantly alleviated when, in December 2010, we raised $5,000,000 in connection with a private placement of common stock and warrants. Using the capital we raised in December 2010, we ramped up our production processes during the first quarter of 2011.

Our lack of significant revenues during the first quarter of 2011, is a direct result of the length and complexity of our product development process. Typically, we experience a significant time lag between receiving an order for our electric drive systems and recognizing revenue in connection with the order due to the development time required to integrate our technologies into new vehicle platforms specified by our customers. For example, while our electric drive systems and battery modules can be integrated into a multitude of product platforms, often times a substantial amount of time is needed to make design modifications to our product to ensure its integration into each new vehicle platform. In most cases new designs require sourcing of raw materials contributing further to the already lengthy production time. In the case of a new customer or a new product platform, it is customary in our business to complete and deliver a single unit prior to producing the entire order. Once the initial product is delivered, installed and accepted by our customer, we begin production on the remaining order based on production delivery dates agreed upon with our customer.

In January 2011, we received the WGE Order under which WGE, an affiliate of our Chairman of the Board, agreed to purchase 300 of our electric drive systems for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15.9 million. During the first quarter of 2011 and through the date of this report, a significant portion of our production efforts have been focused on designing an electric drive system configuration that can be integrated into 14 to 30 passenger mini-buses in connection with the WGE Order and production of Nautilus XE20s in connection with the Ford Order. As of May 13, 2011, we have delivered an electric drive system under the WGE order and are working with WGE to ensure that it can be integrated into the mini-bus chassis specified by WGE. We expect to begin generating revenues under the WGE Order during the latter part of the third quarter of 2011 and into the fourth quarter of 2011. During the first quarter of 2011, we also shipped three Nautilus XE20s for installation under the Ford Order. As of May 13, 2011, the three Nautilus XE20s we shipped have been installed with our drive systems and charging systems to meet customer specifications and we expect to begin generating lease revenues under the Ford Order during the latter part of the second quarter of 2011.

During the first quarter of 2011, while most of our production efforts were focused on the WGE Order and the Ford Order, 42% of our revenues were derived from engineering services revenue from a single customer, Alliant Techsystems, Inc., in connection with a joint development project to determine the feasibility of the use of hydrogen fuel cells in our Nautilus XE20 yard tractors. During the first phase of the project, we provided design concepts to Alliant Techsystems, Inc. to demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing hydrogen fuel cells in a plug-in hybrid Nautilus XE20 as an on-board charger for lithium batteries. As of the date of this report, our design proposal has been accepted by Alliant Techsytems, Inc. and we are awaiting approval of the second phase of the project during which, if approved, we will provide a completed prototype vehicle Nautilus XE20 that features an integrated hydrogen fuel cell charging system designed by a third party. We do not anticipate that a significant portion of our future revenues will be derived from engineering services, but rather will be derived from the sale of our products as we begin to generate revenues as a result of the ramp up in our production efforts and continue to focus on obtaining new orders for our products.

As of March 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficiency of $713,712, an accumulated deficit of $17,872,418 and reported a net loss for the first quarter of 2011 of $2,533,525. Our plans for correcting these deficiencies include the future sales of our products and technologies and the raising of capital, which are expected to help provide us with the liquidity necessary to meet operating expenses. Over the longer-term, we plan to achieve profitability through the sale of our drive systems, electric vehicles and other products.

Although $15.9 million of our current backlog of approximately $18.5 million is attributable to our outstanding purchase order for 300 of our electric drive systems from WGE, an affiliate of our Chairman of the Board, we believe that our customer base will expand during the remainder of 2011. In 2011, we expect our sales to grow in emerging markets such as India and China. We are optimistic that the demonstration of electric buses utilizing our technologies for Ashok Leyland in Asia during 2010 will result in additional sales in the region. In addition, we believe that the integration of our drive systems into light and medium duty on-road commercial vehicles will result in increased sales in the United States in 2011. Our OEM partners in domestic and international markets have experienced increased sales activity for their products, which we expect will result in increased sales for our electric drive systems and battery systems.

We anticipate that a majority of future sales of our electric vehicles will be made directly to domestic and international OEMs. In 2010, we demonstrated the performance of our Nautilus XE20 to a large automotive company, a marine terminal and several warehouses and we are optimistic that these demonstrations will result in an increase in our domestic sales.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 31, 2010

The tables presented below, which compare our results of operations for the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, present the results for each period, the change in those results from one period to another in both dollars and percentage change, and the results for each period as a percentage of net revenues. The columns present the following:

The first two data columns in each table show the absolute results for each period presented.

The columns entitled “Dollar Variance” and “Percentage Variance” shows the change in results, both in dollars and percentages. These two columns show favorable changes as a positive and unfavorable changes as negative. For example, when our net revenues increase from one period to the next, that change is shown as a positive number in both columns. Conversely, when expenses increase from one period to the next, that change is shown as a negative in both columns.

The last two columns in each table show the results for each period as a percentage of net revenues.

Net Revenues. The $77,719 increase in revenues is a result of $64,143 more in sales of battery systems and parts during the first quarter of 2011 than during first quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, we also generated $48,450 in revenues from engineering services provided as compared to $34,874 in contract revenues earned during the first quarter of 2010. This net increase of $13,576 in services revenues accounts for the additional increase in revenues during the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010.

Gross Profit. During the first quarter of 2011, we earned a gross profit margin, as a percentage of net revenues, of 58% largely due to the $48,450 of engineering services revenues that were delivered at a minimal direct cost. The gross profit margin of 27% of net revenues associated with product sales during the first quarter of 2011, is attributable to higher margins on the sales of battery systems and parts. The total gross profit margin of 3% of net revenues realized during the first quarter of 2010, is comprised of a 15% gross profit on the sale of vehicles and parts, offset by a zero gross margin on the $34,874 of revenues received in connection with a grant we received from the Port of Los Angeles. We anticipate that our gross profit margin will be approximately 18% of net revenues for 2011 based on current cost data for the products in our backlog that we anticipate will be shipping during the remainder of 2011.

General and Administrative Expenses. The $373,187 increase in general and administrative expenses is comprised of a $222,770 increase in marketing and business development expenses, a $195,259 increase in unapplied factory overhead, offset by a $44,842 net decrease in other general and administrative expenses.

Research and development Expenses. The $84,568 increase in research and development expenses is comprised of a $57,018 increase in salaries and wages and a $27,550 net increase in other research and development expenses.

Depreciation and amortization. The $133,129 increase in depreciation and amortization is attributable to the amount of $136,439 of amortization of the Distribution Agreement, less a $3,310 net decrease in other depreciation and amortization.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability. The $563,105 change in the fair value of the derivative liability during the first quarter of 2011, relates to the value of the derivatives associated with the senior secured convertible debenture offering that was in process between July and December, 2010.

Interest expense. Interest expense during the first quarter of 2011, increased by $445,627, due to interest costs related to our 10% unsecured subordinated convertible promissory notes and our 10% senior secured convertible promissory notes. The additional interest on these notes during the first quarter of 2011, as compared to the first quarter of 2010, was $46,107. The $399,520 of additional interest cost during the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010 is the result of the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature on our convertible notes and warrants.

While our general and administrative expenses are expected to increase over the near term, these expenses as a percentage of net revenues are expected to decrease as we increase our net revenues. We expect that over the near term, our general and administrative expenses will increase as a result of expenses related to increased management personnel, additional administrative and sales personnel, and additional employees associated with the anticipated ramp up in our business and sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first quarter of 2011, we funded our operations from cash provided from operations, the issuance of common stock in connection with the exercise of outstanding warrants and the remaining proceeds from the issuance and sale of our secured and unsecured debt and equity securities during 2010. As of March 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficiency of $713,712 as compared to working capital of $1,955,146 at December 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 we had an accumulated deficit of $17,872,418 and $15,338,893, respectively, and cash and cash equivalents of $1,974,379 and $4,407,273, respectively.

Our available capital resources at March 31, 2011 consisted primarily of approximately $1,974,379 in cash and cash equivalents. We expect that our future available capital resources will consist primarily of cash on hand, cash generated from our business, if any, and future debt and/or equity financings, if any.

Cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 2011 was $2,536,055 as compared to $776,023 of cash used in operating activities for first quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2011, cash used in operating activities included a net loss of $2,533,525, depreciation and amortization of $166,268, amortization of note discount of $511,739, an increase in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $563,105, and net cash used by operating assets and liabilities of $1,243,642. Material changes in asset and liabilities at March 31, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010 that affected these results include:

an increase in accounts receivable of $81,186;

an increase in inventory of $654,379;

an increase in prepaid expenses of $334,830; and

a decrease in accounts payable of $173,247.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $29,505 for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $2,178 of cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2010.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $132,666 for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $1,186,850 for first quarter of 2010.

Between February 2010 and April 2010, we raised an aggregate of $1,500,000 through the issuance of convertible notes to 11 accredited investors. The convertible notes are convertibles into an aggregate of 1,999,993 shares of our common stock. In connection with this offering, we also issued three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,999,993 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

Between July 2010 and December 2010, we raised an aggregate of $850,000 through the issuance of senior secured convertible debentures to 26 accredited investors. The senior secured convertible debentures are secured by a security interest in all of our personal property (subject to customary exceptions) and were initially convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.75 per share (subject to adjustment). In connection with this offering, we also issued five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 850,000 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.75 per share (subject to adjustment). Under the adjustment provisions of the senior secured convertible debentures and warrants, the conversion price of the senior secured convertible debentures and the exercise price of the warrants were reduced to $0.64 in connection with a private placement of our common stock and warrants in December 2010. The terms of the senior secured convertible debentures include a restriction on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.

In December 2010, we raised $5,000,000 through the issuance of 7,812,500 shares of our common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase up to 7,812,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.64 per share.

During the first quarter of 2011, we raised $132,666 in connection with the issuance of 258,332 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of warrants.

We are obligated under registration rights agreements related to the above described private placements to file a registration statement with the SEC, registering for resale shares of common stock and certain shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes and warrants issued in the private placement transactions consummated between March 2009 and December 2010.

Effective February 18, 2009, we entered into a Business Financing Agreement with Bridge Bank, National Association, or the Bridge Bank Agreement. The Bridge Bank Agreement, as amended to date, provides us with an accounts receivable based credit facility in the aggregate amount of up to $2,000,000.

The credit facility is formula-based and generally provides that the outstanding borrowings under the credit facility may not exceed an aggregate of 80% of eligible accounts receivable. We must immediately pay any advance made under the credit facility within 90 days of the earlier of (i) the invoice date of the receivable that substantiated the advance and (ii) the date on which the advance was made. Interest on the credit facility is payable monthly. As of March 31, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, eligible accounts receivable was $83,094 and availability under the credit facility was $66,475.

The interest rate is variable and is adjusted monthly based on the per annum prime rate as published by Bridge Bank plus two percentage points, subject to a minimum rate of 6.0% per annum.

In the event of a default and continuation of a default, Bridge Bank may accelerate the payment of the principal balance requiring us to pay the entire indebtedness outstanding on that date. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding balance borrowed under the credit facility will be increased by five percentage points above the per annum interest rate that would otherwise be applicable.

The credit facility is secured by a continuing first priority security interest in all of our personal property (subject to customary exceptions). The credit facility may be terminated at any time by either party.

Our plan of operations for the next 12 months includes (i) completing and delivering the remaining 10 heavy-duty electric vehicles under the City of Los Angeles Agreement, together with associated equipment including batteries and chargers, (ii) completing and delivering a substantial portion of the 300 electric drive systems ordered by WGE (iii) completing and delivering the remaining seven Nautilus XE20 yard tractors to T&K Logistics, Inc. for use at Ford Motor Company’s assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan, and (v) obtaining additional orders for our products. Although we expect that the anticipated gross margin from the completion and delivery of these products will provide us with additional liquidity and capital resources, we believe that we will need additional liquidity and capital resources to complete all of our existing and anticipated future product backlog. We have been, and currently are, working toward identifying and obtaining new sources of liquidity. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing in the future. Any future financing that we may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to common stock that we are able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. At a minimum, we expect these covenants to include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our senior secured convertible debentures issued between July and December 2010 contain covenants that include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.

In addition, during 2011, we expect to incur approximately $400,000 in research and development expenses. We believe that we presently have sufficient plant and production equipment to meet our current operational plan and we do not intend to dispose of any plant and equipment.

We presently have 31 employees and expect to hire additional personnel to meet production demands of increased product sales. Our present staff is sufficient to meet our current operational plan and we expect to hire additional personnel as we ramp up our production efforts during the remainder of 2011.

Backlog

As of May 13, 2011, we had a backlog of $18,540,429. Our backlog consists primarily of a $15.9 million order from WGE, an affiliate of our Chairman of the Board, for 300 electric drive systems. Our backlog also includes our agreement to deliver 6 additional Nautilus XE20 electric yard tractors and 4 additional Nautilus XE30 electric short haul tractors (and associated equipment) under our outstanding purchase order from the City of Los Angeles and our agreement to deliver 7 Nautilus XE20 electric yard tractors for use at Ford Motor Company’s assembly plant under a leasing arrangement with T&K Logistics.

Effects of Inflation

The impact of inflation and changing prices has not been significant on the financial condition or results of operations of our company.

Impacts of New Accounting Pronouncements

We do not believe that the adoption recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of March 31, 2011 that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
