At~~The ~~any~~Quercus ~~time~~Trust ~~prior~~ to ~~the~~finance ~~payment in full of each Note, Quercus may, at~~ its ~~option,~~continued ~~convert~~operations ~~the~~since ~~principal~~2008. We ~~amount~~currently ofhave ~~such~~approximately ~~Note into the Company’s common stock~~$500,000 ~~par~~cash ~~value~~on ~~$0.001 (the “Common Stock”)~~hand, atand aexpect ~~price~~to ~~per~~run ~~share~~out ~~equal~~of tocash ~~$0.044~~during in the ~~case~~second quarter of ~~Note~~2012.

~~Quercus~~It is avery ~~family~~unlikely ~~trust~~we will be able to secure additional financing through the sale of ~~which~~our ~~David~~Series ~~Gelbaum~~G ispreferred astock ~~trustee~~(“Series G”) to Socius CG II, Ltd. Mr (“Socius”). ~~Gelbaum~~Under our amended and restated preferred stock purchase agreement with Socius, if we request Socius to purchase shares of our Series G, Socius has no obligation to purchase such shares if the closing bid price of our common stock on any of the nine (9) trading days following the date of our request is below 75% of the ~~Chief~~closing ~~Executive~~bid ~~Officer~~price of our common stock on the ~~Company~~date ~~and~~of ~~Chairman~~our request. Due to the volatility of ~~its~~the ~~Board~~trading price of ~~Directors~~our common stock, it is likely that the closing bid price for our common stock on any of the nine (9) trading days following our request would be below 75% of the closing bid price of our common stock on the date of our request.

~~ITEM~~Although 3we are trying to obtain financing to cover our capital needs, we may not be able to do so.02 We have tried to obtain alternative financing over the past several years and have not been successful. ~~UNREGISTERED~~Obtaining ~~SALES~~financing OFnow ~~EQUITY~~will ~~SECURITIES~~likely be even more challenging than it has been in the past. For example, the reports of our independent registered public accounting firms for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 contained explanatory paragraphs to reflect their significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our history of losses and our liquidity position. These significant doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern may have created negative reactions to the price of our common stock and led to the Company having even more difficulty obtaining financing. Our inability to obtain additional financing to continue operations would likely result in the Company ceasing operations and filing for bankruptcy. If we file for bankruptcy, you could lose your entire investment.

~~The~~In ~~disclosure~~light inof ~~Item~~the 2Company’s significant cash constraints, the Company has determined that it does not have sufficient capital to continue making periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).03 Accordingly, ofthe ~~this~~Company ~~Form~~intends ~~8-K~~to ishereafter ~~incorporated~~cease bysuch ~~reference~~reporting. ~~into~~The ~~this~~Company ~~Item~~will 3endeavor to make financial information available periodically to its stockholders on its website at www.02entechsolar.com.

All statements in this Report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements include statements, among other things, concerning our continued efforts to seek financing, a sale of assets, or other strategic transaction to maximize value; preliminary discussions regarding a sale of certain technology and discussions with customers that could result in additional capital to the Company; the potential that we may file for bankruptcy, that we expect to run out of cash during the second quarter, our intention to cease filing reports with the SEC and to make financial information available on our website; and other statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words, such as “estimate”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, “plan”, “intend”, “believe”, “forecast”, “foresee”, “likely”, “may”, “should”, “goal”, “target”, “might”, “will”, “could”, “predict” and “continue”, the negative or plural of these words and other comparable terminology.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. These factors include our ability to identify a source of capital for the Company; our ability to find a buyer for certain assets of the Company, or to find another means to maximize shareholder value; the challenges we currently and in the past have faced in raising capital and continuing as a going concern; our history of losses and our expectations that we will continue to incur losses; economic uncertainty and uncertainty in demand for our products; customer acceptance of our products; our ability to obtain necessary certifications and to commercialize our products timely or at all; our ability to sell or license our SolarVolt™ technology; the limited volume in trading of our securities and a potentially illiquid market for any investment in our securities; the risks of investing in a company that, as a result of cash constraints, is unable to comply with its SEC filing requirements and to make available current public information; dilution of your investment due to any potential sales of our securities for capital raising and other purposes; the ability of The Quercus Trust to control our board of directors and the direction of our company, as well as our dependence on The Quercus Trust for capital; our ability to attract and retain experienced personnel, especially in light of our cost-cutting efforts; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; our ability to meet our customers’ demands for improved and more cost-efficient technology; competition and the fact that many of our competitors have more resources than do we; pressure to reduce our prices; our dependence on key suppliers; warranty and product liability claims; and other risks which are described in our periodic filings with the SEC.
