Introductory Note:  Please see the information under the caption “Cautionary Statements” below which sets forth important disclosure regarding forward-looking statements contained in this Form.
 
Balqon Corporation (the “Company”) is unable to file the subject report in a timely manner because the Company has not completed the integration of a recently received third party valuation of the initial aggregate fair market value for the conversion features of certain convertible notes and warrants issued during 2010 into the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
In preparation for the Company’s annual independent audit of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company engaged an independent valuation firm to value the initial aggregate fair market value for the conversion features of certain convertible debentures and accompanying warrants issued during the year ended December 31, 2010.  The Company recently received the valuation from the independent valuation firm and is working to incorporate the valuation provided by the independent valuation firm into the Company’s financial statements. As a result, as of the date of this filing, the Company has not completed its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and cannot do so in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense.
 
Thus, the Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense.  The Company plans to file its Annual Report by April 15, 2011, in compliance with Rule 12b-25.

Unaudited Preliminary Results of Operations
 
The following results of operations are preliminary and have not been audited or otherwise reviewed by the Registrant’s independent auditors.  The Registrant’s final, unaudited results of operations could be materially different from the unaudited preliminary results of operations set forth below.
 
The Company anticipates reporting net revenues of approximately $655,962 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to net revenues of $3,598,752 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The anticipated decrease in net revenues of approximately $2.9 million resulted primarily from a decline in sales in 2010 due to working capital constraints. The Company’s working capital constraints were significantly alleviated when the Company raised $5 million in a private placement of its securities on December 14, 2010. The Company believes that as a result of this recent increase in its working capital coupled with a recent purchase order for 300 of the Company’s electric drive systems at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15.9 million, the Company’s net revenues for 2011 will be greater than its net revenues in 2010 and 2009.
 
The Company anticipates reporting a gross profit of approximately $66,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to gross profit of $109,955 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The Company anticipates reporting that its gross profit margin was 10% for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to a gross profit margin of 3% for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
The Company anticipates reporting a net loss of approximately $4,343,241 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $3,015,405 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The Company anticipates reporting a net loss per common share of approximately $0.17 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss per common share of $0.12 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
